Descripción:Google Tech Talks August 20, 2008 ABSTRACT This presentation is drawn from Hunter's recent lead chapter in the U.S. Presidential Climate Action Project's report to the President-elect. It describes the business case for moving aggressively to solve such challenges as global warming, peak oil, the vulnerability of our energy infrastructure and others. Hunter discusses how climate protection, energy efficiency, renewable energy and other sustainable approaches will give us a stronger economy, and a higher quality of life. Hunter discusses how to unleash the new energy economy as the antidote to life in a carbon constrained world. The global climate crisis threatens many aspects of life on earth, including access to water. Energy is a relatively easy challenge to solve. But providing access to water, both at home and in water-short regions around the globe will not be trivial. Fortunately, in water, as in energy, there are solutions that cost less, work better and can deliver a higher quality of life. Hunter will describe how communities and companies are implementing these and many other strategies to cut their costs and drive their innovation. Speaker: Hunter Lovins L.

Descripción:Google Tech Talks August 6, 2008 ABSTRACT Many patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") are undeserved. They are granted for several reasons, including that the PTO is not aware of significant prior art (knowledge already in the public domain), that the PTO's employees are not given sufficient time and resources to do an effective screening of patent applications and that the rules regarding how patents are granted are skewed through perverse patent policy to favor the granting of patents. Undeserved patents injure the public because they can be used by private actors to preclude activity that would otherwise be permissible, if not desirable. This causes prices for goods to be artificially high, the advancement of science to be thwarted, and civil liberties to be inappropriately restrained. The Public Patent Foundation ("PUBPAT") is a not-for-profit legal services organization whose mission is to represent the public interest against the harms caused by errors in the patent system, and particularly the harms caused by undeserved patents and unsound patent policy. PUBPAT provides the general public and specific persons or entities otherwise deprived of access to the system governing patents with representation, advocacy and education. In this Google Tech Talk, PUBPAT's Founder and Executive Director, Mr. Daniel B. Ravicher, will discuss PUBPAT's mission in greater detail and describe the specific activities PUBPAT undertakes to accomplish that mission. Speaker: Daniel B. Ravicher Daniel B. Ravicher is Executive Director of the Public Patent Foundation ("PUBPAT") and a Lecturer in Law and Associate Director of the Intellectual Property Law Program at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Prior to founding PUBPAT, Mr. Ravicher was associated with the patent law practice groups of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, LLP, and Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, LLP, all in New York, and served the Honorable Randall R. Rader, Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. Mr. Ravicher is a registered patent attorney and he writes and speaks frequently on patent law, including testifying before the U.S. Congress on the topic of patent reform. As a result of his accomplishments and professional reputation, IP Law & Business magazine included Mr. Ravicher on its 'Top 50 Under 45' list for 2008. Mr. Ravicher received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he was the Franklin O'Blechman Scholar of his class, a Mortimer Caplin Public Service award recipient and an Editor of the Virginia Journal of Law and Technology, and his bachelors degree in materials science magna cum laude with University Honors from the University of South Florida.

Descripción:This male African Lion is having a fit as his keeper tries to open his gate and let them out into their big yard. Can you imagine having this in your backyard? How many attacks can you find if you do an internet search? LOTS! Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Bobcats and many other wild animals, exotic cats, are sadly kept in people's back yards. Most of them meet tragic fates in the end. This grumpy lion was one of the lucky few who was rescued by a sanctuary. A true sanctuary does not breed, do not buy, do not sell nor do they allow the public to pet the animals. Winter is coming fast, the costs in caring for these rescued lions, tigers, bears and more sky rockets in the winter.

Descripción:Peak Moment 118: Are we in the perfect financial storm? Marc Cuniberti, a market analyst and host of "Money Matters" on our local community radio station KVMR, thinks so.

Like getting out of debt, and investing in things you really need. In the stock market, he suggests dividend paying stocks, stressing the importance of using interest compounding in your favor: $100 saved today with an 8% return will grow to $200 in 9 years.

Descripción:The World Congress III against the Sexual Exploitation of Children, set for 25-28 November 2008 in Brazil, aims to promote international cooperation for more effective action on sexual exploitation. Here is one in a series of related stories. MONROVIA, Liberia, 14 November 2008 Peace came to Liberia in 2003, after 14 years of brutal, devastating civil war. Since then, progress to rebuild the country has been significant: the restoration of infrastructure, public services, the economy and the rule of law is well under way. Despite positive strides towards a restored society, sexual violence against women and children remains a central reality of life in Liberia, where the United Nations maintains its second largest peacekeeping mission (UNMIL) anywhere. According to police statistics, week after week, rape especially of girls between the ages of 10 and 14 is the most reported crime. To help young girls and women reclaim their lives, UNICEF supports a safe-house programme that provides food, medicine and counselling. UNICEF Representative in Liberia Rozanne Chorlton said the safe house is a confidential location where girls who have been badly sexually exploited can be taken and cared for, and given the kind of intense counselling and psychosocial support they need until they can re-grasp their lives and restore their dignity and self confidence enough to be able to go back to their communities.

Descripción:Here's an excerpt: In a Presidency of hypocrisy, an Administration of exploitation, a labyrinth of leadership, in which every vital fact is a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma hidden under a claim of executive privilege supervised by an idiot, this one is surprisingly easy. President Bush has put, protecting the Telecom giants from the laws...ahead of protecting you from the terrorists. He has demanded an extension of the FISA law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but only an extension that includes retroactive immunity for the Telecoms who helped him spy on us. Congress has given him, and he has today signed, a fifteen day extension, which simply kicks the time bomb down the field, and has changed nothing of his insipid rhetoric, in which he portrays the Democrats as 'soft on terror' and getting in the way of his Superhuman efforts to protect the nation... when, in fact, and with bitter irony, if anybody is 'soft on terror' here it is Mr. Bush.

Descripción:The anti-Christians who are members of the Westboro Baptist Church, located in Topeka, Kansas has an hate affair with the United States of America. They are blindly led by Fred Phelps. The source of their hate is towards gays and they thus hate America for its tolerance of gays and the freedoms they enjoy. With that hate, they also assign that same hate on the United States military for protecting a nation which affords rights to gays and other's these anti-Christian people hate. To manifest their hate and satisfy the attention whore within them, they protest at the funerals of military members who died in defense of our nation. Their reprehensible abuse of our freedom of speech gave birth to an organization of motor cyclist nationwide, called the Patriot Guard Riders. Here is the link to their website: http://www.patriotguard.org/ The Patriot Guard Riders stand between the anti-Christians and the military funeral, protecting the bereaved families from looking at the ugly signs and face belonging to those anti-Christians.
