Bob Baker, automobile dealership owner, philanthropist, dies at 89
RANCHO SANTA FE —
Despite the fact that his father was a utilised auto wholesaler and at the very least two of his uncles had been automotive salesmen, Bob Baker had no intention of having into the car or truck enterprise.
A devout Catholic who attended religious universities as a child, Baker required to be a priest.
For the document:
8:15 a.m. Sept. 8, 2021This story corrects the spelling of Bob Baker’s mother’s identify to Dory. Also, Baker owner 25 auto dealerships all through his profession.
As an alternative, maybe through a combination of fate and need, he would come across results in possessing extra than 25 car or truck dealerships all over the nation for the duration of a profession that spanned 60 several years. He also would anguish over a lethal crash involving a person of his motor vehicles that killed a family members and led to a globally remember.
Baker, 89, died at his Rancho Santa Fe household on Sunday. His son, Chris, the youngest of 5 Baker youngsters, stated the trigger was a mixture of dementia, lymphoma and renal failure.
“Bob was not complicated,” mentioned his close friend and previous business enterprise companion Dave Ezratty, who now life in Idaho. “He taught you the basic points: ‘Watch the pennies and nickels and that will get you the bucks.’ Bob did not hand out anything he gave men and women possibility. If they listened to him, they would be successful. He desired everybody to triumph, even his competition.”
Baker was born on Oct. 1, 1931, at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles, the oldest of four youngsters of Halem and Dory (Peterson) Baker. He grew up in Los Angeles throughout the Melancholy and as an 8-calendar year-outdated, would acquire journals for 8 cents and then market them for a dime to assist assistance the household. He later on took on a newspaper route.
When he was 10, Baker’s mothers and fathers divorced and he spent the relaxation of his childhood in foster properties, boarding homes and on the streets, Chris Baker explained.
Chris Baker explained that when his father “learned that sons from divorced families weren’t permitted to enter the priesthood,” Baker enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1951 to combat in the Korean War. He was 19. Two several years later on, he attained the entrance traces.
“He fought in the struggle for Outpost Harry, a strategic position on a tiny hilltop on the direct route to the South Korean cash of Seoul,” Chris Baker stated. “The embattled troops were instructed to ‘hold at all charges.’”
Baker later made a 2010 documentary, “Hold at All Fees: The Story of the Struggle of Outpost Harry,” to commemorate people concerned in the fight. In 2016, Baker donated $250,000 for a 30-foot-tall bell tower at Miramar Nationwide Cemetery in memory of his Korean War comrades.
Baker participated in much more than two dozen “harrowing night time patrols,” Chris Baker said, and when volunteered “to go on a mission from which he was informed he would not return.”
Monsignor Dan Dillabough from the University of San Diego understood Baker for 25 years. Dillabough said that Baker instructed him that as he prepared for that mission, he prayed and produced a pact that if he survived, he would return to California, marry his wartime pen pal, Sherrill King, increase a loved ones, develop into prosperous and serve God.
But just before Baker was equipped to entire that mission, Chinese soldiers attacked two hrs before than anticipated.
“He experienced to retreat by means of the minefields, leading two squads securely back to the main bunker at Outpost Harry,” Chris Baker recalled. “He was on the front traces till a truce was declared and his Army provider finished in December 1953.”
Baker was awarded two Bronze Star medals, between many others, for his actions in overcome.
Bill Barber, who stated he achieved Baker at the Burbank airport when they had been both of those heading for their Army detail in Korea, reported it was hard for him to talk about the reduction of his buddy of almost 70 several years. He reminisced about fishing trips, and attending Rams, Chargers and Padres games jointly.
“We had so lots of amazing times jointly,” Barber reported. “I will have to have acquired 50 cars and trucks from him around 60 decades. We’ve been mates eternally. He was the very best close friend a individual could talk to for. He lived a complete life.”
When he returned from the war to California, he married King and enrolled in business classes at Woodbury School in Burbank. When his spouse became pregnant with their first kid, Michael, in 1954, Baker began selling autos at a friend’s Ford dealership.
“(My father) was a normal salesman with a quick and glowing smile, and he turned an fast achievement,” Chris Baker said. “From income he was promoted into product sales management and inevitably tasked with operating automobile dealerships.”
In 1965, Baker experienced an option to get his possess dealership in Indiana. He recognized and grew Bob Baker Chevrolet in Indianapolis into a achievements. His eldest son, Mike, started off working for his dad as a 15-year-previous.
Baker finally marketed that dealership and moved to San Diego, getting what was then University Ford. He steadily expanded and built up the Bob Baker Automobile Group of dealerships with brands these kinds of as Chevy, Toyota, Lexus, Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge, Ford, Acura, Cadillac, Nissan and Subaru. And he was at the rear of the catchy promoting jingle, “The Bob Baker Automobile Group, wherever it is so awesome to be wonderful.”
His economical achievements allowed him the means to are living out his correct enthusiasm of serving God by encouraging the neighborhood and those in require, Chris Baker said.
Baker earmarked millions of bucks above the many years to aid Catholic churches and educational facilities, programs for armed forces veterans and underwriting for Methods for Transform, a nonprofit that assists get North County homeless families off the streets
Chris Megison, who heads Options for Change, explained he connected with Baker on a variety of amounts. Megison is a previous Marine whose father also served in Korea. The two men also shared an abiding religion in God.
“What truly struck me with Bob was he so believed that his goal on Earth, since of what he survived in Korea, was component of his pact with God,” Megison said. “And so he was carrying that pact out and making an effects on family members that ended up homeless. All of our conversations have been about humanity and the fantastic in people today.”
Baker was devastated when a family of 4 was killed when using in a loaner car from his Lexus dealership in El Cajon in 2009. The fatalities occurred when the car’s accelerator pedal grew to become trapped and the car raced out of command.
The situation acquired throughout the world notice about unintended acceleration troubles in Toyota and Lexus cars.
Family customers of the victims — CHP Officer Mark Saylor, his wife, daughter and brother-in-legislation — sued Baker and Toyota for wrongful demise. Regional and federal investigations discovered that improperly mounted flooring mats in the Lexus product could cause the fuel pedal to stick.
Given that then, Toyota has recalled 10 million automobiles for repairs and has compensated a lot more than $1 billion in fines and lawsuits. Baker paid out an undisclosed sum to family members of the Saylors.
“He was devastated from the incident, it was incredibly agonizing for him to know what happened to the Saylor spouse and children,” Chris Baker stated. “We imagine the top lead to was problems in the production of the car that prompted unintended acceleration. The whole matter created a rift in the relationship amongst my father and Toyota. I assume any finger pointing to my father’s dealership was in the end vindicated by the fact that Toyota recalled hundreds of thousands of cars for unintended acceleration.”
The very last dealership Bob Baker owned was Bob Baker Toyota. He marketed that dealership and completely retired in April 2016. He had beforehand offered the harmony of his remaining dealership ownerships to his son, Chris, in 2014. Chris Baker procured and expanded his Carlsbad areas and is continuing the Bob Baker Car Team legacy. Chris Baker’s son, Cobi, 27, is also preparing to go on in the family members vehicle organization.
Baker was preceded in demise by his spouse, Sherrill his brothers, Dick and Ron Baker and his sister, Peggy Stewart. He is survived by his small children and their family members Mike, Bridget and Austin Baker Elizabeth (Baker) and Robert Treloar Theresa (Baker), Sean and Eric Hertel Mary (Baker) and Mike Ross and Chris, Maria, Bryan, Cobi and Emily Baker. He is also survived by several 50 percent siblings.
Solutions will be held at 10:30 a.m., Sept. 18 at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel Valley. Baker’s ashes will be split, to be interned beside his wife’s continues to be at the Church of the Nativity in Rancho Santa Fe, and at the Miramar cemetery.

Mitsubishi To Recall Nearly 100,000 TVs In Japan
"company knew of 10 major cases of overheating"
Tokyo - 12th September 2000 - Mitsubishi Electric said today it will recall two defective color TV models that could overheat and catch fire, a problem the company has known about for at least eight years.
The company had not previously recalled the TVs, marketed only in Japan, because the defect is not that serious, executives said. It decided to do so now because of the recent defect cover-up by related Mitsubishi Motors.
Mitsubishi Electric, which is one of Japan's largest electronics makers, is recalling 50,000 sets of the CZ1 series produced between 1987 and 1988 and another 49,950 units of the 1988-90 CZ2 series, company spokesman Kenzo Shirai said. The company estimates about 45,000 of the two models combined are still in use.
Shirai said the company knew of 10 major cases of overheating in the models, including six that caused extensive burning in homes. The overheating is triggered by cracks on the baseboard caused by the faulty attachment of a cooling device.
The two models also caused about 60 other incidents that caused minor damage, such as melting of the parts, Shirai said.
The first case was reported in 1988 and the company learned about the problem in 1992, but Mitsubishi had not previously taken a step to recall the products "because of very tiny likelihood of accident,'' Shirai said.
The spokesman said today's announcement was made after worries that the company could be linked to the scandal at the Mitsubishi automaker.
Mitsubishi Motors has been devastated by the disclosure that the company systematically covered up auto defects for the past two decades. Company President Katsuhiko Kawasoe resigned last week. Both Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Motors are members of the 28-member Mitsubishi corporate group.

Mother asks if partner spends too much time with his son
によって追加 セレックス 2022年1月1日
‘They are glued to each other’: Stepmother divides opinion after asking whether her partner spends too much time with his first son, 10, at the expense of their baby daughter
A mother vented on Mumsnet that her partner was uninterested in their baby
Dad will spend extra time with the ten-year-old boy and let him sleep in his bed
Commenters are divided over whether he’s being neglectful or a doting father
A mother has divided opinion after questioning whether her partner spends too much time with his son, at the expense of their new baby.
The anonymous woman posted to the British parenting forum, Mumsnet, to share her worries, claiming that her partner and his child, 10, from a previous relationship are ‘glued to each other’s side’.
Adding that she doesn’t want to offend him by suggesting he should spent more time with his new child, she said that she’s concerned he’s not giving their four-month-old daughter enough attention.
On top of that she’s doing all the night feeds and most of the childcare.
Commenters, who found out in a later post that the couple had been ‘together just over a year’, were torn over whether the father’s priorities were good parenting or neglectful.
An anonymous woman took to Mumsnet after feeling like her partner preferred her stepson over their new baby
She explained that the father and son would sleep in the same bed whenever he stayed over and wondered why he hadn’t bonded with the baby
Speaking about her home life, 母親は言った, ‘This is so hard to write, but I just feel like my partner prefers his 10-year-old son to our baby.’
‘My partner and his son have a close bond which I completely understand he’s his first born and I try so hard to be ok with it . But since we had our baby four months ago I feel like he hasn’t really bonded with our baby and he would pick his son any day of the week over our baby.

‘I do all the night feeds and do almost all of the looking after of our baby in the week and at the weekend.’
‘My stepson stays every weekend and he sleeps in bed with his dad every weekend and I just feel like our baby gets none of her dads attention when he’s here.
Some commenters felt that the father had every right to make sure his oldest child was comfortable with such sudden changes
‘He’s very clingy to his dad and since we’ve had our baby together I just feel like my partner is barely interested.’
She said she was initially worried her stepson would be jealous of the new baby getting too much attention, but it’s been quite the opposite.
‘I know my partner loves our baby but it’s like in a different league to his son. I wouldn’t even mind as much I think if they didn’t share a bed.’
Some commenters noted how hard so many changes might have been for the young boy, and thought the dad was simply looking out for him.
Other commenters felt that he was neglecting his duties as a father to the new child and implored him to spend his time equally
一人が言った, ‘Given you’ve only been together just over a year, it’s quite a lot of upheaval for the boy. A new stepmother and half sibling in the space of a year, perhaps he is feeling insecure and anxious.’
Another person agreed, 言って: ‘His child(ren) will always be his priority, as I’m assuming yours are too. At the moment it seems his oldest child needs him because this is a huge adjustment and in a really short space of time.’
‘You read about so many feckless fathers on here who walk away from their children without a glance back, he sounds decent and yet the problem is he isn’t putting his other child on the back-burner.’
Another thought it would be unreasonable to expect the same amount of attention for a four-month-old baby, 言って: ‘He sounds like a good dad, he is taking his son’s feelings into account after creating family no 2, increasing his contact time and being sympathetic to his son’s feelings.

Another commenter said: ‘I think there are two separate issues. It’s good that he doesn’t want his son to feel left out. But it’s not good he doesn’t do any night feeds and there is absolutely no excuse for that especially as his son isn’t there all the time.’
‘There is also no excuse for not spending any one-on-one time with his baby.’

Pulse-per-second (PPS) Signal Interfacing
Some radio clocks and related timekeeping gear have a pulse-per- second (PPS) signal that can be used to discipline the local clock oscillator to a high degree of precision, typically to the order less than 50 us in time and 0.1 PPM in frequency. The PPS signal can be connected in either of two ways, either via the data leads of a serial port or via the modem control leads. Either way requires conversion of the PPS signal, usually at TTL levels, to RS232 levels, which can be done using a circuit such as described in the Gadget Box PPS Level Converter and CHU Modem page.
The data leads interface requires regenerating the PPS pulse and converting to RS232 signal levels, so that the pulse looks like a legitimate ASCII character. The optional tty_clk line discipline/streams module inserts a timestamp following this character in the input data stream. The driver uses this timestamp to determine the time of arrival of the PPS pulse to within 26 us at 38.4 kbps while eliminating error due to operating system queues and service times. In order to use the kernel PPS signal, the xntp3 distribution must be compiled with TTYCLK defined.
The modem control leads interface requires converting to RS232 levels and connecting to the data carrier detect (DCD) lead of a serial port. The optional ppsclock streams module captures a timestamp upon transition of the DCD signal. This module can be built from the ppsclock.tar.Z distribution. The driver reads the latest timestamp with a designated ioctl() system call to determine the time of arrival of the PPS pulse to within a few tens of microseconds. In order to use the kernel PPS signal, the xntp3 distribution must be compiled with PPS defined.
Both the tty_clk and ppsclock modules are described in the Line Disciplines and Streams Drivers page. Directions for building the modules themselves are in the ./kernel directory. Directions on how to configure xntpd to operate with these modules is described in Building and Installing the Distribution page.
Both of these mechanisms are supported by the ATOM_PPS reference clock driver described in the Reference Clock Drivers page and its dependencies. This driver is ordinarily used in conjunction with another clock driver that supports the radio clock that produces the PPS pulse, as described in the Mitigation Rules and the prefer Keyword page. This driver furnishes the coarse timecode used to disambiguate the seconds numbering of the PPS pulse itself. The NTP daemon mitigates between the radio clock driver and ATOM_PPS driver as described in that page in order to provide the most accurate time, while respecting the various types of equipment failures that could happen.
For the utmost time quality, a number of Unix system kernel modifications can be made as described in the A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping page. Specifically, the ppsclock module can be used to interface the PPS signal directly to the kernel for use as discipline sources for both time and frequency. These sources can be separately enabled and monitored using the ntp_adjtime() system call described in that page and the ./include/sys/timex.h header file in the xntp3 distribution. In order to use the kernel PPS signal, the xntp3 distribution must be compiled with KERNEL_PLL defined.
In some configurations may have multiple radio clocks, each with PPS outputs, as well as a kernel modified to use the PPS signal. In order to provide the highest degree of redundancy and survivability, the kernel PPS discipline, tty_clk module, ppsclock module and kernel modifications may all be in use at the same time, each backing up the other. The sometimes complicated mitigation rules are described in the Mitigation Rules and the prefer Keyword page.

Clubbing the Tom-Tom
I’ve been doing some research on the issues in Microsoft’s lawsuit against Tom-Tom. Here’s what I’ve found about the patents are at issue in the case:

Flash Memory Management
6,256,642 Jul 30 2001 2018 – Method and System for File System Management Using a Flash-Erasable, Programmable, Read-only Memory
First, some discussion of scope…
As you read through these, the first thing that will become apparent is that the first four, the car navigation system patents, are no threat to Linux whatsoever. They’re very specifically about certain particular combinations of hardware and software features. I’m not going to discuss them much further except to note with amusement the amount of bare-faced gall anyone from Microsoft would have to muster to pretend that their technology is “open platform”.
The content of the UI-model patent (‘032, as Microsoft’s lawyers nicknamed it in the brief) is a little more troubling. Press reports have tended to lump it in with the car-navigation patents, but it could be read to apply to lots of other types of systems; note for example the references to keyboards and joysticks. The language is dense and vague, but I read it as attempting to cover any situation is used to control the way that (other) hardware input devices are connected to pieces of software and/or configurable hardware in the system. I don’t see any aim at Linux here, but I think the game-console manufacturers should consider this one a threat.
Most of the public attention has focused on the two FAT patents. Interestingly, these are not patents on FAT itself. Rather, they have to do with methods for translating between long filenames and the DOS-style 8+3 names that FAT still uses internally. They’ll read on any implementation of FAT that wants to present long names to the user, including open-source ones.
The flash-memory one could be the biggest worry in the bunch. It seems to be claiming things that any flash file system needs to do to manage its hardware. No threat to Linux on its own hardware, but it might be deployable, if upheld, to block anyone from shipping in the U.S. a Linux filesystem that manages flash devices, whether it’s FAT-compatible or not.
Defenses:
I’m sorry to say that I don’t think any of these patents can be struck on grounds of obviousness. There might be an outside chance of successfully attacking 032 that way, but the PTO’s application of the “obviousness” test is notoriously likely to be fooled by claims language that sounds more complex and arcane than the techniques it actually describes. Besides, two of the important ones have been rexamined, pre-Bilski; if the PTO were going to find obviousness in these at all it would likely have happened then.
Previously undiscovered prior art could come out of nowhere and scupper any of these, of course, but my best best judgment as an engineer in related fields is that this attack is most likely to be effective where it isn’t very helpful, in the car-navigation patents. I see a slightly better chance of attacking 032 from this direction; configuration of specialized input devices through settings in a GUI is something X programs do all the time. The problem would be convincing a court that the similarity is strong enough.
UPDATE: Harald Weite claims that the FAT patents have been invalidated in some jurisdictions by prior art. I knew they had been struck down in Germany, which is doubtless the jurisdiction Weite speaks of; he claims the prior art in question was the Rock Ridge extensions to the ISO9660 standard, supporting long names on CD-ROM filesystems. This is plausible.
In the present situation, the interesting question to ask is whether these would pass the Bilski filter. For those of you who have better things to do than follow developments in IP law, “In re Bilski” is a recent decision by United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a lawsuit challenging a business-method patent. The Court invalidated the patent, ruling that for an idea to be patentable, it must “(1) it is tied to a particular machine or apparatus, or (2) it transforms a particular article into a different state or thing.†(direct quote from the decision).
The judges in Bilski declined to rule on the patentability of software (the case was over a business-method patent, and judges generally prefer to rule narrowly rather than broadly lest they be reversed) but they did cite a decision indicating that simply running a program on a general-purpose computer is not a patentable process. These is now a vigorous debate going on over what those two tests actually mean for software parents.
It seems to me that 032 and 642 are highly likely to fail whatever version of the Bilski test emerges from that debate; the claims are pretty abstract, and it’s hard to see how they can be considered tied to a machine or a transformation of material objects without an interpretation of those requirements that would render Bilski meaningless. (Microsoft, of course, has already argued for such an interpretation in an amicus brief on that case.)
By contrast, the car-navigation patents seem the most likely to survive in re Bilski precisely because they’re the most closely tied to a specific hardware context. But the open-source community has no reason (other than generalized hostility to software patents) that it should care.
The FAT patents fall in between. They certainly fail the transformation test — the only things transformed are the (non-material) names of files in a filesystem. Whether they’re defensible therefore depends on what courts construe the language about being “tied to a machine” to mean. The stakes are high, because any version of the Bilski test that neuters these patents would probably render most software other than device firmware unpatentable.
UPDATE: Good analysis by Steve Vaughn-Nichols here.
Categorized as Software
John Chapman says:
> (’032, as Microsoft’s lawyers nicknamed it in the brief)
This is extremely common parlance in the patent world.
Would perhaps another possible defence be that, as far as Linux is concerned, the FAT patents don’t actually solve any technical problem? As I understand the patents, the innovation being claimed is mostly about how to design a filesystem in such a way that it supports long filenames while remaining backwards compatible with programs written for an older API (Win16) which supported only 8.3 filenames. But when you write a Linux driver for VFAT, or when you write a Linux application which talks to a (V)FAT partition using the generic Linux file I/O API, you don’t care about that backwards compatibility, because the linux API has supported long filenames from the start.
So, from the point of view of a Linux developer, the problem which VFAT purports to be an innovative solution to, is not actually a problem that needs solving, right? That problem is only relevant for people who want to run Win16 applications on Win32 operating systems. It’s a solution to a very Microsoft-specific problem. From a Linux programmer’s point of view, VFAT is just another filesystem which supports long filenames, which was already not very innovative even in 1995 (to put it mildly), and the weird way in which it hacks long filenames on top of the 8.3 namespace is just an interesting historical fluke.
So when you’re making a Linux-based device which uses FAT, the reason you’re doing so is because you want to be compatible with Windows machines, and Windows only supports FAT. Isn’t there some ruling that you can’t use a patent just to prevent interoperability with your interfaces, when that interface does not itself represent a technical innovation?
>Isn’t there some ruling that you can’t use a patent just to prevent interoperability with your interfaces, when that interface does not itself represent a technical innovation?
Sadly, no. If there were such a ruling,nobody would be worried about patents on technical standards.
Martin Baselier says:
I’ve also read the pdf with the explanation of the claims. And the problem as I understand is, is that the idea is patented. So if someone would want to implement the idea, they would have to pay the patenholder (like long/short filenames in the same filesystem (so not just on fat)) the 3d-map in navigation software. If I remember correctly IBM had a patent on the progressbar.So if Microsoft will win from TomTom, they can start new cases against Linux (and open source in general), forbidding them to make their own implementations of techniques they have patented, without paying microsoft.
An these patents can be any trivial thing as you can see in the case of TomTom. (http://media.techflash.com/documents/tomtomitc.pdf for technical details and http://media.techflash.com/documents/tomtomComplaint.pdf for the exact complaint.
Don’t you find it likely that MSFT searched and searched, and once they found a case where linux is used that they can win, they then carefully went through a process of ‘negotiation’ with TomTom, which ‘proves’ that they were willing to license the patents in-question.
But (of course) that didn’t work out, so they have ‘sued to protect their IP’
If (when?) they win, then they can use it to increase the FUD against linux. Especially in the phone and netbook segments, where they are losing hundreds of meters of turf every single day.
I bet the vast bulk of turf that Microsoft is losing in the phone space is to Apple, not Linux. The G1 is an interesting geek toy, but it is not really a significant player in the wider smartphone space.
As for netbooks, Windows has caught up in that space. Some netbooks have wireless chipsets which aren’t even supported by Linux.
Morgan Greywolf says:
Martin: sounds like you’re splitting hairs. The technical problem the ‘517 and ‘352 patents solve is that some operating systems don’t support long filenames, so you need a way to write long filenames that don’t break OSes that don’t support them. In the case of the Linux filesystem driver for VFAT, the implementation writes 8.3 filenames for backwards compatibility with MS-DOS and Windows.
Jeff: There was an article on Slashdot recently stating that, at least as far as Steve Ballmer is concerned, Linux is a bigger competitor than Apple. Additionally, there was another article highlighting Linux’s role in Microsoft’s decline
> Linux is a bigger competitor than Apple.
They own Apple. ($150M ‘investment’ in 1997. anyone? Anyone?) They don’t own them outright, but they probably do have an interesting amount of ‘swing’ inside Apple.
Microsoft finds itself in a situation not unlike the US forces found themselves in Vietnam.
Something can nuke them from behind, and it’s gone when they turn around.
It’s impossible to win a guerrilla war against a highly distributed enemy.
This patent attack is Microsoft’s equivalent of “Agent Orange”.
Jakub Narębski says:
BTW. Harald Welte Microsoft sues TomTom over FAT patents says that there is prior art to short names / long names problem, namely the ISO9660 Rock Ridge Extensions in 1994.
What about OIN threatening to use its patent portfolio against Microsoft in retaliation?
there is prior art to short names / long names problem, namely the ISO9660 Rock Ridge Extensions in 1994
Maybe. You have convince a judge and/or a jury that they’re similar enough. RRIP stores POSIX filenames, along with POSIX file attributes (permissions) in the System Use Area as definited by ISO9660. The long filenames in VFAT are a kluge that stores the LFNs as directory entries within the existing directory table. If you ask me, they’re not the same thing. Here’s what is specified in the ‘517 patent, for instance:
There are three items spelled out in the :Summary of the Invention” section of the ‘517 patent.
It is therefore an object of the present invent to provide a system that supports long filenames.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a system that supports long filenames while minimizing the compatbility impact of supporting long filenames.
li>It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system that supports a common name space for both long filenames and short filenames.
From this, 1 and 2 are covered by Rock Ridge, but 3 is not covered, because the filenames are actually in an entirely different namespace.

http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/12068_3807801_1/Bruce-Perens-Analyzing-Microsofts-TomTom-Lawsuit.htm
>Bruce Perens has a slightly different analysis of Microsoft’s TomTom Lawsuit
He thinks they can be struck down on obviousness grounds. In so doing, he underestimates the ignorance of PTO examiners by orders of magnitude.
It’d be up to a judge to do the striking down.
Of course that just makes things worse…
not(Russ Nelson) says:
> He thinks they can be struck down on obviousness grounds. In so doing, he underestimates > the ignorance of PTO examiners by orders of magnitude.
The PTO examiners would be involved only on a re-examination.
Jeff is right, modulo re-examination (which few patent attorneys would press) it would likely be up to a court to determine validity
I don’t think its as bad as Jeff makes out though. During the month of January 2009, the court issued four substantive opinions that addressed validity on the merits. Of those, the court held the patent invalid every single time (three for obviousness, one for lack of patentable subject matter). KSR v. Teleflex seems to have changed things significantly.
Russell Nelson says:
I want an obviousness standard that doesn’t rely on the patent being SO FUCKING OBVIOUS that somebody already invented it. I think that some things not invented and not yet implemented are also obvious.
The problem with judging obviousness is that what’s obvious to a person knowledgeable in the field today may not have been obvious at the time of the invention. That’s one reason things that seem obvious are often judged not to be.
TheSwordOfDamocles says:
The problem with “obvious” is that it is not obvious what “obvious” means, obviously.
Or to put it another way, “obvious” doesn’t mean the common sense meaning (that is to say any halfwit with some training could have come up with it), it means some complex combination of factors, unlikely scenarios, and combination of contradictory court rulings that combine to some complex legal definition that bears no relation to reality. (As is the case with most of the law.) Add to that the fact that the people who make these judgment calls have never actually invented anything in their life (except exasperating legal precedents), and the fact that most patent lawyers are frustrated wannabes who are like inventor groupies, wanting to hang around the cool kids who actually invent things, even though they never could do it themselves. Herein you have a recipe for disaster.
As I said in a previous post, the problem is not the “definition of obvious” as modified by KSR v. Teleflex. The problem is not the definition of patentable material, as modified by In re Bilski (after all, why should you be able to exclude me from making a machine that transforms stuff any more than I should be able to exclude you from writing a one click sale mechanism?) The problem is that the whole kit and caboodle is based on a deeply unjust premise: you invented something first, so you get a government granted monopoly to stop me making it.
Here is a crazy idea — if your thing is so good and you are so inventive, make it, sell it, use your first mover advantage. If someone copies you, use your innovative skill and come up with a new idea. If you are scared on the Chinese, make it in China. To modify a famous saying — the only sustainable leadership is thought leadership, or leadership sustained with immoral legal monopolies granted by courts.
The claim that patents encourage inventiveness has never been demonstrated even one single time. In fact the opposite is true — it has been shown many times that it is toxic to inventiveness. For example, the poster boy for patents is the drug industry, yet just a few years ago that anarchy advocating organization the GAO came out with a report to indicate that patents DECREASE innovation in the drug industry.
Remember, as I said before, patent trolls are simply slightly more efficient way of implementing the patent system. The whole patent system is a big ass patent troll whose voracious appetite for destruction is slowed only by its sluggish limbs, poor eyesight and big fat belly. The monster might be slow, but it will eventually bite your head off.

And it recently dropped on Hacker News that the chairman of Merck, of all people, is agitating for more open-source-like practices in biological research. A good idea if you can implement it, but he’s bucking the money.
Jeff, that’s the second time you’ve mentioned news.yc here. What’s your screnname there (or do you just lurk)?
BTW, since I made a claim about that GAO report, here is some more information on it:
“A report by the General Accounting Office concludes that current patent law discourages drug companies from developing new drugs by allowing them to make excessive profits through minor changes to existing pharmaceuticals…”
“According to the report, “the ability of drug manufacturers to easily obtain patents for minor changes to products, or to receive patent exclusivity for new uses of existing products, have reduced incentives to develop new drugs.”
[Just in case these statements mislead you as to my opinion — I celebrate when drug companies make a profit, unless they do it using the unfair and unjust leverage of the patent system. And just to add to this, it causes me physical pain when I actually find myself agreeing with Dick Durbin or Ted Kennedy, however, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.]
Oops, that croaked on WordPress’s html cleaner. Lets try it the hard way (replace capitalized with appropriate symbol):
www DOT acsblog DOT org SLASH ip-and-tech-law-report-patent-law-stifles-drug-innovation DOT html
IMHO the idea behind patents is that you publish details of your invention for the furtherance of science and engineering, in turn for short term monopoly. It was, in my opinion, meant as replacement for hiding solutions.
>IMHO the idea behind patents is that you publish details of your invention for the

That is indeed the pretext (though not in the language of the constitution), however it bears little resemblance to either reality today or the true historical roots for patents. Obviously when you make something and sell it, you, to all intents and purposes describe it to the world, so publishing a turgid patent document hardly advances the cause. (Have you read any patents? They are all almost impenetrable legalese, I doubt anyone could actually learn anything from any of them.)
Secondly, the history of patents is simply not based on this at all. In its origins patents were grants of special privilege given by the monarch to their favorites. In the UK today the French Law term “Letter Patent” is still used to describe the monarch’s publication of anything she happens to want to say under the special reserved powers she has (for example granting titles of aristocracy, designating her heir and so forth.)
Nonetheless, regardless of the pretext, as I said earlier, there is not one scrap of evidence to back up the claim that patents in general or publication in particular “promote the progress of science and useful arts…”
stephenj says:
For the car patents, I wonder how many of them could be broken by prior art from Knight Rider.
I’m only half-joking sadly.
radu says:
For the first idea to work the duration of the patent rights should approximate the time required for a third party do independently come up with the same invention. Let’s define it as the time a business would need to replace X’s original idea with Y’s identical independently developed idea, as a fixed asset in a production line. While it is impossible to assess this duration objectively, there is another concept that tries to approximate the the time interval between the replacement of fixed assets: depreciation. Alternatively, from a non-regulatory standpoint this duration could be considered similar to the time between switching from “Product Model 1” to “Product Model 2”. In technological innovation areas the two time periods should be very similar.
Now, let’s compare the duration of a patent with the time a pharmaceutical has to spend from the moment it applies for a drug licence until the last piece of machinery on the production line is depreciated and/or replaced. Or, more to the point let’s count the number of new Windows “models” Microsoft has released since they have patented vFAT. Even if we accept that inventiveness is the scarcest resource available to mankind (why?), do the time differences make sense?
Jeremiah Shepherd says:
What if there were conditions with all patents?
You have to have a commercially available product that uses a given patent, before half(?) of the said patent’s time has expired.
And the company has to demonstrate that the said product(s) stay(s) on the market in one form or another.
Or the patent becomes public domain. (i.e. use it or lose it.)
Sean Hastings says:
The U.S. Constitution reads “To promote the PROGRESS of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;”
Can anyone make a case for any specific patent ever actually promoting progress, let alone leverage it to the more general case that patents on the whole do more good than harm?
I have seen plenty of graphs depicting the measurable quantities of different types of engineered systems over time which display large jumps for the better at the point where key patents have expired. (E.G. http://www.fee.org/pdf/the-freeman/122008freeman-boldrin.pdf) But I have never seen a graph that showed the rate of progress (first derivative) decreasing upon the expiration of a key patent or increasing after the initial jump provided by the invention.
It is clear that once a patent is in place, innovation in that field is stifled, not promoted.
Now, there is certainly an argument that the initial jump provided by the invention of such key patents comes sooner, because many more people will compete to be awarded a lucrative monopoly. But I have never seen any measurable data to suggest that this rush to the prize compensates for the chilling effect afterward. And if the quicker invention value is to exceed the after-chill effect, then this must be an issue of length of the term for which the monopoly is granted. But while longer monopoly terms will produce greater effort to secure a key patent, they will also create a longer chilling effect. Additionally, it is worth noting that innovators pulled into this rush for the prize are being pulled away from other (possibly equally beneficial) pursuits – and during the chilling period, alternative ways of doing the same thing are pursued, so there is some loss to the “reinventing the wheel” issue.
To make the case that patents (or any form of pattern monopoly) do more good than harm, one has to demonstrate that the sum of the following factors has positive value:
Increased Value of early invention (positive)
Chilling effect after granting of monopoly (negative)
Other useful things invented later due to diversion of intellect both in the initial rush and in trying to find ways around the monopoly (negative) – and with credit due to Bastiat’s “What is seen and what is not seen”
Cost of monopoly enforcement (negative) – without which there is no incentive. This cost can be very very large, and includes not only direct law enforcement, but also such issues as lobbying and lawyering costs.
So, I submit that no one can successfully demonstrate that this equation will be positive, on average, or for any specific proposed future invention, for any given length of time over which it is proposed that monopoly rights should be granted – let alone for a single time period applicable to all inventions. And I further submit that this is true even before we consider the last (enforcement) term which we know to be a cost rather than an economic benefit of the granted monopoly.
This being the case, it is completely irrational to pass laws that distort free market solutions to the value equations concerning invention by granting limited term monopolies.
TheSwordOfDamocles,
Indeed, and copyright originated as a means for the Crown to grant exclusive printing privileges to favored printers. Fiddle dee dee, what has today’s copyright regime achieved but the protection of the interests of favored publishers, not writers or artists?
It’s pretty much like Richard Stallman keeps saying: institutions of government in the United States exist mainly as tools or puppets of the large corporations. Changing this order of things would be tantamount to meddling with the primal forces of nature.

I suspect Sean agrees with me on this, but the calculation Sean lays out echos from the halls of the Kremlin. The very idea that government bureaucrats can make these economic calculations, somehow measuring the first, second, third and fourth order effects of such policy is insane. Governments can’t even balance their own checkbook. It is all part of the usual Big State BS, of trying to shape the society via manipulation of the laws and economic system. The best result would be if they simply protected our rights, protected our property and provided a stable, enforceable legal system and left the rest of us to work out the rest. Unfortunately, the policy seems to be to undermine our rights (to protect us from the bad guys), steal our property (for the public good), and constantly change the law (to provide a “level playing field”.) Patents are all part of the same bad mess.
> It’s pretty much like Richard Stallman keeps saying: institutions of government
> in the United States exist mainly as tools or puppets of the large corporations.
That is a messy, misleading representation of what is going on. The simple fact is that it is the primary, perhaps sole responsibility of all company’s both small and large to maximize the return for their shareholders within the limits of the law. (FWIW, there are a couple of exceptions to this, but it is a good generalization.) If the whores in Washington will sell their favors then it is pretty close to the fiduciary responsibility of the corporate management to buy. The problem isn’t the corporations, it is the whores. If I can support a politician for one million dollars, and in doing so have a fair chance to save my company one hundred million in taxes, or save my company from a regulation that will double my costs, that seems like not just a good choice but a moral obligation to my shareholders.
I am not saying the corporations don’t cross the line sometimes, the certainly do, badly and illegally often. However, it is a smokescreen to blame them for the abuse of power that the politicians engage in. The problem isn’t the buying of favors, the problem is that the favors are for sale.
>The problem isn’t the buying of favors, the problem is that the favors are for sale.
Indeed. I am perpetually amused at people who scream “Government is a tool of corporate malefactors!” but whose every political prescription is to make government more powerful. Textbook case of Not Getting It.
Somehow, trusting other corporations or enterprises to hold the corporate malefactors in check when the government has been made much less powerful doesn’t appeal to me. Both when the defending corporations aren’t there, and when they are. Am I oversimplifying much?
What I’d like is a better system of checks and balances, to limit the effect of the whores, but really…

The basis for one corporation holding another is check is “greed”. If I can screw over my competitor by reporting their malfeasance, it is to my advantage. If I am a newspaper and I can scoop the story on Enron, I get a Pulitzer Prize. If I am NASDAQ and I can ensure that the 10Qs from the companies listed on my exchange are trustworthy, I am more likely to attract investors for those companies. If I am a lawyer, and I can sue the crap out of a corporation with a shareholder class action lawsuit, I can pay for my $300 haircuts. If I am a consumer magazine, I can make good money selling reviews of products, and I won’t take kickbacks, because if I do, and someone finds out, my magazine will be out of business, and so on in hundreds of different ways.
The fact is that government regulations actually hamper most of these natural mechanisms for correcting corporate mismanagement and deception. For example, rules controlling the sale of shares mean that there are very few trade exchanges for financial instruments. Because there is only limited choice (and deep government involvement) there is little opportunity for innovation or competition to allow truly competing for investor money. Hence, right now, as the market crashes through the floor due in part to dishonest business practices, we can’t really hold the exchanges to account for their poor reporting because our only alternative is stuffing the mattress with cash (which is my current plan…) Why the hell can’t I buy and sell shares on eBay?
Will the little guy get protected by these mechanisms? Probably not, or not much, but ask Grandma what her Enron shares or ETFs are worth if you think the current system is working.
> What I’d like is a better system of checks and balances, to limit the effect of the whores, but really…
A chastity belt would seem the most appropriate approach.
“If I am a consumer magazine, I can make good money selling reviews of products, and I won’t take kickbacks, because if I do, and someone finds out, my magazine will be out of business” Ahem. Everybody* knows that many consumer magazines take kickbacks. Especially IT mags. And they’re yet in business. Other examples you mentioned also fail reality checks: many times, it is much more convenient to take a kickback from Enron than to win a Pulitzer. Some brave souls go ahead and uncover Watergate et al. but to trust that they’ll be always there at the right moment…
It’s nice to see the likes of Erin Brockovich**, but I prefer that some rules are already there to _prevent_ people dying of leukemia, instead of suing the pants off some corp afterwards.
Not _all_ government regulations are bad. And if some of them were badly applied or controlled, I don’t think the solution is to take them away entirely.
I distrust a completely free market for the same reason that I distrust a government where the Executive|Legislative|Judiciary are not in check.

Incorrect, I am part of everyone, and I don’t know that. Cynicism is no substitute for evidence.

I imagine it happens sometimes, but I doubt it happens much. Again, cynicism is not substitute for evidence.
> It’s nice to see the likes of Erin Brockovich
FWIW, the facts in the Brockovich case don’t add up. Despite the cute movie the whole thing was little more than a shakedown. But that is another story. Fact is that trial lawyers have too much power against big corps today.
>I distrust a completely free market for the same reason that I distrust a government
The comparison is not fair. You can go to Costco if Walmart pisses you off, Big government… not so much. Big government’s checks and balances are other parts of big government. Free market checks and balances are in the pockets of your billfold or purse.

Well, I doubt your scenery happens much. I’d say we’re even. Yes, cynicism. I am cynic and want government regs, you believe (or you don’t, please excuse me) that market without regulations (again, please excuse me if I misinterpret) would be just peachy although such a thing has never actually existed under these circumstances, and although bringing down megacorps would be extremely difficult, in my opinion, seeing how apathetic everyone* is.

:%s/scenery/scenario/g in my above post. Sorry.
Government regs have proven themselves in several domains (like environmental protection) where the free market has failed to come up with a solution. The world is a much better place for having had the global CFC ban, and the same will be true of carbon taxes.
Adriano: who is going to do a better job of keeping a corporation in check? A government regulator (who isn’t paid very much and who is subject to being bought … one way or the other), or the corporation’s competition?
Free markets are the best form of regulation ever not invented, not patented, not copyrighted, but you’d think they’re a trade secret for all that people know about them.
>Government regs have proven themselves in several domains (like environmental protection) where the free market has failed to come up with a solution.
Such naivete. The worst environmental disasters on the planet happened where government was strongest, in the former Soviet Union. Similar atrocities like the Three Gorges dam are still occurring in China.
Jeff: environmental protection is a REALLY REALLY bad example. Why? It’s because the only place you find rampant pollution is on the property owned by the government: air, water, military reservations, public roads, parks, forests. Private property doesn’t get polluted, because the polluters find themselves at the pointy end of a lawsuit. So, then, you expect the GOVERNMENT to stop the pollution, when it was the government that allowed it in the first place??
Adriano: “Not _all_ government regulations are bad. And if some of them were badly applied or controlled, I don’t think the solution is to take them away entirely.” I agree with you. Now, devise a solution which eliminates the bad regulations and keeps only the good ones. There’s a name for that solution: Maxwell’s Daemon and the problem is that it can’t exist.
Tom Dickson-Hunt says:
> Such naivete. The worst environmental disasters on the planet happened where government was strongest, in the former Soviet Union. Similar atrocities like the Three Gorges dam are still occurring in China.
The argument against total-free-market using environmental regs isn’t calling for strong government, it’s just calling for some government–enough to make and enforce environmental regs. AFAIK, the govts of USSR and China weren’t/aren’t particularly interested in protecting the environment. The size/power of the govt is irrelevent here. It doesn’t take China to enforce common-sense environmental regs.
Note that I am not necessarily agreeing with the environmental-regs argument, but just pointing out what I see as a fallacy.
> Adriano: who is going to do a better job of keeping a corporation in check? A government regulator (who isn’t paid very much and who is subject to being bought … one way or the other), or the corporation’s competition?
So far? Both of them together. That’s what I’m arguing for. And one obvious suggestion would be to pay the guy a bit more.
> The worst environmental disasters on the planet happened where government was strongest,
Wrong. They happen where government didn’t lift a finger to prevent them, because they were corrupt or apathetic. What about Bhopal? Did anyone from the competition do anything then, either?
@Tom http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=826#comment-233429 : exactly what I mean.
> Now, devise a solution which eliminates the bad regulations and keeps only the good ones. There’s a name for that solution: Maxwell’s Daemon and the problem is that it can’t exist.
Why? Does it require infinite energy?
Why are you going to the extreme of ‘take all bad, put all good’ when what I say is ‘Hey, maybe the solution is a bit of compromise here, and raising the bar there? I don’t follow.
I’m fairly certain, though, that this subthread is going away right now. Offtopic, aren’t we?
>I’m fairly certain, though, that this subthread is going away right now. Offtopic, aren’t we?
Yes, we are. This is enough, everyone.
A suggestion:
If an off-topic thread is interesting enough to you, can you spin it off to a new blogpost, perhaps with a comment linking to it, such as ‘comment thread on topic X was moved to Y? I mean only in the cases you actually feel like it.
>If an off-topic thread is interesting enough to you, can you spin it off to a new blogpost, perhaps with a comment linking to it, such as ‘comment thread on topic X was moved to Y? I mean only in the cases you actually feel like it.
I’d do it, but WordPress doesn’t have the ability to transplant comments. I’ve often wished for it.
Mike Swanson says:
On the topic of prior art for the VFAT patents, how do well do you think the case of UMSDOS will hold up? It’s an implementation of POSIX features (long filenames, symbolic links, hard links, character/block devices, UIDs/GIDs and permissions (although somewhat negated by the fact it’s on FAT…), the works) on FAT filesystems while maintaining backwards compatibility with MS-DOS and other implementations that have no idea what that –linux-.— file contains, they just see the normal files with 8.3 name limits.
Wikipedia says that Linux 1.1.36 was the first to incorporate it, although the earliest on kernel.org’s archive is 1.1.45… at any rate, that archive is older than Microsoft’s own VFAT, much less the patent.
>I’d do it, but WordPress doesn’t have the ability to transplant comments. I’ve often wished for it.
UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_post_ID = [???] WHERE comment_post_ID = 826 AND comment_ID >= 233368 AND comment_ID <= 233439;
or some SQL similar to that, depending on the version you are running and/or having potentially chosen a different prefix than “wp_” for the tables at install time.
Adriano: because you can’t compromise with government. The Constitution was supposed to be a compromise: you get to govern this, and everything else is left to the states. That compromise wasn’t good enough for the people who want power.
My point about government being in control is not that government is corrupt. It isn’t. Government does its best, BUT its best is inherently (as part of its nature) not as good as what private ownership can do to protect the environment. Yes, some private property owners will pollute their own property. Most won’t. Contrast that with the current situation, which is that anybody can pollute the air up to a certain point. Just by being born, you have the right to pollute my air, my water, my parks, and my roads — and I have no legal right to sue to stop you.
You’re simply wishing for a better government than the one you have, but you have no theory for how to get there from here, other than more wishes and better slogans like “Yes, We Can”. I *have* a theory for how to get a better government: give it less to do, and it can’t help but do less bad.
Looking forward to seeing these comments move to a “Private property is less polluted than public property” posting….
Looking forward to seeing these comments move to a “Private property is less polluted than public property†posting….
Me too. To steer the conversation back on topic…
If the FAT patents are properly worded (i.e., they cover a mousetrap and not the idea of catching mice), UMSDOS will be of little use as prior art, as the patents specifically cover the case of allocating additional directory entries to handle LFN information and associate it with a short file name. This is not done with the –linux-.— file in umsdos, nor with its OS/2 predecessor, “EA DATA. SF” (this method is also patented, by IBM).
I think Jeremy Allison might have it right.
Still think we don’t “need the GPL anymore”, Eric?
>Still think we don’t “need the GPL anymoreâ€, Eric?
Yes, actually. Trying to fix the patent problem with the GPL is an unreliable kluge, as those secret patent deals demonstrate. And probably an unnecessary one given the Bilski ruling.
I think Jeremy Allison might have it wrong.
Eric, I don’t see why a software author can’t choose to (attempt to) protect his program(s) from encumbrances of patented matter via GPLv3.
I think, as the link above suggests, that the ‘secret’ deals may not be secret much longer.
Perens disagrees, too
I agree with Eric. The GPL puts open source developers in as bad a position as the RIAA: having to sue their users. Not participating in an open source community is its own punishment.
Moglen said he never had to sue when he was FSF’s lawyer. He just had to explain the issue, and offer to drop all claim in exchange for compliance. Of course. SFLC is a different story.
According to:
tinyurl.com SLASH dbghq7
TomTom has counter sued MS on one of their patents. This is exactly the way the modern patent system works. “Good” companies build an inventory of patents for this precise purpose — not to sue for infringement, but to counter-sue should they be sued for infringement. Lawyers get rich, everyone backs off, and the big guys move on. However, if you happen to be a small guy, or if you don’t dance at this particular party of corruption, then you get squashed like a bug.
In essence the whole thing is a big lovefest for lawyers. Decent companies who seek to innovate and create value, small companies who’s legal budget is less than nine figures, and small time inventors coming up with the latest thing, are exposed and vulnerable to the Machiavellian machinations of big, fat, lazy companies who would rather put out a new subpoena than a new product.
As I said before, the whole system is a big ass patent troll that is only prevented from destroying our economy by the breathtaking incompetence with which it is implemented.
tinkertim says:
@TheSwordOfDamocles
This is one of the few concepts that drive people to obtain a patent portfolio. Red Hat thinks, “Lets get a bunch of patents so we can launch a counter strike”, while they assume that the premise of mutual destruction will deter annoying lawsuits.
The problem with this is, corporations (by law) must look out for their share holders first. So, if the share holders demand an offensive, the corporation is legally obliged to launch one.
I’m not picking on RH, in fact they negotiated the first patent deal that fully complied with the GPL3. I doubt sincerely that RH would ever use their patent portfolio as an antagonistic tool.
However, someone else citing their practice, i.e. “We collect a portfolio for the same purposes as RH” may very well join the ranks of patent trolls, if their limited number of share holders demand such an action. The difference is in the legalese, which few can adequately read.
Until some company that has EXTREMELY fluid funds is challenged and goes to court without a similar counter suit, this problem will persist. Its cheap to test the post Bilski waters on the offensive, but not on the defensive.
TomTom & Microsoft Settle “in a way that ensures TomTom’s full compliance with its obligations under the GPLv2” (Groklaw).
If I understand correctly they would not test FAT patents in the court, but rather remove (not needed for GPS) long-filename functionality.

Illusion Cloak Makes One Object Look like Another
Thursday, May 14. 2009
Fiddle with an invisibility cloak, and it can make any object look like another, say researchers.
Just when you thought invisibility cloaks couldn't get any weirder, researchers come up with this: a way to make one object look like any other.
Invisibility cloaks work by steering light around a region of space, making any object inside that region invisible. In effect, an invisibility cloak creates the illusion of free space. This is possible because of a new generation of artificial materials called metamaterials that can, in principle at least, steer light in any way imaginable. Indeed, various teams have built real invisibility cloaks that hide objects from view in both the microwave and optical bands.
Now Che Chan and pals from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology say that metamaterials could be used for an even more exotic effect: for cloaks that create the illusion that a different object is present.
The illusion is a two-step process, and to see how it works, imagine making a mouse look like an elephant. The first step involves an idea that these guys came up with about six months ago in which they described a way of cloaking objects at a distance.
The trick is to create a material in which the permittivity and permeability are complementary to the values in a nearby region of space containing the mouse we want to hide. "Complementary" means that the material cancels out the effect that the mouse has on a plane lightwave passing through. So a plane wave would be bent by the mouse but then bent back into a plane as it passes through the complementary material, making the mouse disappear.
The second step is to then distort this plane wave in the way that an elephant would. This means creating transformational material that distorts a plane lightwave in the same way as an elephant. So anybody looking at this mouse would instead see an elephant.
An invisibility cloak is just a special case of this, when the mouse is simply replaced by the illusion of free space, say Chan and co.
The researchers have even found a mind-boggling application. Their idea is to create the illusion that a wall has a hole in it, and then use the hole to look through the wall.
That's not quite as bonkers as it sounds. The wall has to be pretty thin, and what the new device does is allow light to tunnel through the wall in a way that would not ordinarily be possible. Amazing, if it works.
There's no telling where this kind of thinking will lead. But surely metamaterials can't do anything weirder than this?

Partners in Fighting Crime: How Security Companies Work with Police
As any Redhanded™ remote guarding operator can tell you, apprehensions are a team effort. So much depends on having efficient communication with responding officers.
Why video alarm verification works
From day-to-day, it takes an entire team—clients, security providers, and police—to stop criminals in their tracks. Within our Command Center, operators work with police and contact clients when an alarm goes off. It's important to remember that in addition to a good security system, the responding officers - regional PD or RCMP form an important part of your security footprint.
If police in your area are familiar with you and your site, they will have home court advantage if there is ever a perimeter breach or trespassing attempt. If an officer is to visit your site - whether it be on an unrelated incident - take a minute to show them your site. Point out where the high-value assets are and the access points around your perimeter.
We recommend that you encourage your local officers to stop by and build a working relationship with them. One of our customers has gone so far as always having fresh coffee brewed in an effort to maintain an open-door policy for police officers.
Take a moment to educate the officer about your security system and explain how a live video monitoring system benefits them during a dispatch.
One advantage of real-time video is it allows the Command Center to track multiple suspects and direct police to where they can be apprehended. These Redhanded apprehensions are great examples of the collaboration required (click links to view video footage).
Triple Threat: Redhanded security cameras caught three intruders taking items from a construction site and stacking them along the fence line. One of the intruders left to act as a lookout ("Standing Six" in police terms) while the other two continued on with the theft. Our monitoring station personnel were on the phone with the police dispatcher and notified the attending police of the lookout's position. Police arrested the lookout and surrounded the site. With the aid of a police dog the other two suspects were arrested and charged with Criminal offenses.
Theft from Auto: Radius operators caught a suspect tampering with vehicles at an auto dealership. After arresting him, police found a catalytic converter in his backpack. The catalytic converter was confiscated and returned to the customer. This apprehension and arrest resulted in the solving of other Catalytic converters in the same area and further charges were brought against the suspect.
2 for 1: A suspect jumped a fence at a construction site and attempted to enter a building. Officers waited outside while Suspect 2 moved cable and wiring. He was tracked by police and arrested off-site. A K9 unit was used to apprehend Suspect 1 inside before he could complete the theft. All materials gathered in this incident were returned to the saved and returned to their original position on site.
Smelly Shelter: Redhanded analytics-enabled security cameras picked up on a slim-built male trespasser wearing a long, black coat and beanie at a construction site. With the help of Command Center Operators, the responding officers found him hiding in a portable toilet and apprehended him.
We work with our customers to establish a set of event procedures outlining customer preferences as to how we respond to a suspected trespasser. In the case of one high rise construction company, we were directed to contact the client immediately. That meant, one evening the client had a front row seat to the action and Radius successfully provided police with the evidence needed for an arrest.
Collaboration: When Redhanded security cameras captured a person wandering around a construction company parking area, the Command Center operator used a Suspicious Behaviour Alert to demand the person call the Radius number and identify themselves.
The operator, as per client instructions, called the client. During the call, a Radius PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera picked up the suspect again. The client was able to watch live footage of the intruder and instructed the operator to dispatch police immediately.
The suspect left the site in a getaway van, which the police later intercepted thanks to the license plate recorded on camera. At an officer’s request, Radius forwarded pictures of the suspect, who was then taken into custody.
A security provider must follow not only company and client protocol in responding to alarms but, obviously, local laws and regulations.
Police take aim at false alarms, mandate alarm verification
Security Operation: When a man in a black puffy jacket and beanie trespassing at a construction site set off Redhanded alarms, separate Radius operators called police. The operator then sent a video clip of the suspect and the beige container where he was hiding. to responding officers who apprehended the suspect and released him after questioning. After the police cleared and patrolled the entire site, the security guard arrived to finish securing the site.
As this incident shows, a successful apprehension demands teamwork. Redhanded™ operators supported each other on the job. They tracked a suspect and provided police with information. Each party had a role to play.

Neuropsychological evidence supports the developmental taxonomy theory of antisocial behavior, suggesting that abnormal brain development distinguishes life-course-persistent from adolescence-limited antisocial behavior. Recent neuroimaging work confirmed that prospectively-measured life-course-persistent antisocial behavior is associated with differences in cortical brain structure. Whether this extends to subcortical brain structures remains uninvestigated. This study compared subcortical gray-matter volumes between 672 members of the Dunedin Study previously defined as exhibiting life-course-persistent, adolescence-limited or low-level antisocial behavior based on repeated assessments at ages 7–26 years. Gray-matter volumes of 10 subcortical structures were compared across groups. The life-course-persistent group had lower volumes of amygdala, brain stem, cerebellum, hippocampus, pallidum, thalamus, and ventral diencephalon compared to the low-antisocial group. Differences between life-course-persistent and adolescence-limited individuals were comparable in effect size to differences between life-course-persistent and low-antisocial individuals, but were not statistically significant due to less statistical power. Gray-matter volumes in adolescence-limited individuals were near the norm in this population-representative cohort and similar to volumes in low-antisocial individuals. Although this study could not establish causal links between brain volume and antisocial behavior, it constitutes new biological evidence that all people with antisocial behavior are not the same, supporting a need for greater developmental and diagnostic precision in clinical, forensic, and policy-based interventions.
Is low cognitive functioning a predictor or consequence of major depressive disorder? A test in two longitudinal birth cohorts

Cognitive impairment has been identified as an important aspect of major depressive disorder (MDD). We tested two theories regarding the association between MDD and cognitive functioning using data from longitudinal cohort studies. One theory, the cognitive reserve hypothesis, suggests that higher cognitive ability in childhood decreases risk of later MDD. The second, the scarring hypothesis, instead suggests that MDD leads to persistent cognitive deficits following disorder onset. We tested both theories in the Dunedin Study, a population-representative cohort followed from birth to midlife and assessed repeatedly for both cognitive functioning and psychopathology. We also used data from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study to test whether childhood cognitive functioning predicts future MDD risk independent of family-wide and genetic risk using a discordant twin design. Contrary to both hypotheses, we found that childhood cognitive functioning did not predict future risk of MDD, nor did study members with a past history of MDD show evidence of greater cognitive decline unless MDD was accompanied by other comorbid psychiatric conditions. Our results thus suggest that low cognitive functioning is related to comorbidity, but is neither an antecedent nor an enduring consequence of MDD. Future research may benefit from considering cognitive deficits that occur during depressive episodes from a transdiagnostic perspective.
Prospective developmental subtypes of alcohol dependence from age 18 to 32 years: Implications for nosology, etiology, and intervention

The purpose of the present study is to identify child and adult correlates that differentiate (a) individuals with persistent alcohol dependence from individuals with developmentally limited alcohol dependence and (b) individuals with adult-onset alcohol dependence from individuals who never diagnose. There are 1,037 members of the Dunedin Longitudinal Study, which is a birth cohort followed prospectively from birth until age 32. Past-year DSM-IV alcohol dependence diagnoses are ascertained with structured diagnostic interviews at ages 18, 21, 26, and 32. Individuals are classified as developmentally limited, persistent, or adult-onset subtypes based on their time-ordered pattern of diagnoses. The persistent subtype generally exhibits the worst scores on all correlates, including family psychiatric history, adolescent and adult externalizing and internalizing problems, adolescent and adult substance use, adult quality of life, and coping strategies. The prospective predictors that distinguished them from the developmentally limited subtype involved family liability, adolescent negative affectivity, daily alcohol use, and frequent marijuana use. Furthermore, young people who develop the persistent subtype of alcohol dependence are distinguished from the developmentally limited subtype by an inability to reduce drinking and by continued use despite problems by age 18. The adult-onset group members are virtually indistinguishable from ordinary cohort members as children or adolescents; however, in adulthood, adult-onset cases are distinguished by problems with depression, substance use, stress, and strategies for coping with stress. Information about age of onset and developmental course is fundamental for identifying subtypes of alcohol dependence. Subtype-specific etiologies point to targeted prevention and intervention efforts based on the characteristics of each subtype.

This article reports on the childhood origins and adult outcomes of female versus male antisocial behavior trajectories in the Dunedin longitudinal study. Four antisocial behavior trajectory groups were identified among females and males using general growth mixture modeling and included life-course persistent (LCP), adolescent-onset, childhood-limited, and low trajectory groups. During childhood, both LCP females and males were characterized by social, familial and neurodevelopmental risk factors, whereas those on the adolescent-onset pathway were not. At age 32, women and men on the LCP pathway were engaging in serious violence and experiencing significant mental health, physical health, and economic problems. Females and males on the adolescent-onset pathway were also experiencing difficulties at age 32, although to a lesser extent. Although more males than females followed the LCP trajectory, findings support similarities across gender with respect to developmental trajectories of antisocial behavior and their associated childhood origins and adult consequences. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.
Generalized anxiety disorder and depression: childhood risk factors in a birth cohort followed to age 32

Background. The close association between generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) prompts questions about how to characterize them in future diagnostic systems. We tested whether risk factors for MDD and GAD are similar or different.
Method. The representative 1972–73 Dunedin birth cohort of 1037 males and females was followed to age 32 with 96% retention. Adult GAD and MDD were diagnosed at ages 18, 21, 26, and 32 years, and juvenile anxiety/depression were also taken into account. Thirteen prospective risk measures indexed domains of family history, adverse family environment, childhood behavior, and adolescent self-esteem and personality traits.
Results. Co-morbid MDD+GAD was antedated by highly elevated risk factors broadly across all domains. MDD+GAD was further characterized by the earliest onset, most recurrence, and greatest use of mental health services and medication. Pure GAD had levels of risk factors similar to the elevated levels for co-morbid MDD+GAD; generally, pure MDD did not. Pure GAD had risks during childhood not shared by pure MDD, in domains of adverse family environment (low SES, somewhat more maltreatment) and childhood behavior (internalizing problems, conduct problems, somewhat more inhibited temperament). Pure MDD had risks not shared by pure GAD, in domains of family history (of depression) and personality (low positive emotionality).
Conclusions. Specific antecedent risk factors for pure adult MDD versus GAD may suggest partly different etiological pathways. That GAD and co-morbid MDD+GAD share many risk markers suggests that the presence of GAD may signal a pathway toward relatively more severe internalizing disorder.
Neuropsychological performance at the age of 13 years and adult schizophreniform disorder: Prospective birth cohort study

We examined neuropsychological functioning at age 13 years in adolescents who later developed schizophreniform disorder, compared with healthy controls and with adolescents diagnosed as having had a manic episode or depression or anxiety disorder. Participants were from an unselected birth cohort. Attentional, executive and motor impairments at age 13 were found in those who later fulfilled diagnostic criteria for schizophreniform disorder, suggesting that these impairments may be the earliest emerging neuropsychological impairments in schizophrenia-related disorders.
Males on the life-course-persistent and adolescence-limited antisocial pathways: Follow-up at age 26 years
TERRIE E. MOFFITT, AVSHALOM CASPI, HONALEE HARRINGTON, BARRY J. MILNE
Journal: Development and Psychopathology / Volume 14 / Issue 1 / March 2002
This article reports a comparison on outcomes of 26-year-old males who were defined several years ago in the Dunedin longitudinal study as exhibiting childhood-onset versus adolescent-onset antisocial behavior and who were indistinguishable on delinquent offending in adolescence. Previous studies of these groups in childhood and adolescence showed that childhood-onset delinquents had inadequate parenting, neurocognitive problems, undercontrolled temperament, severe hyperactivity, psychopathic personality traits, and violent behavior. Adolescent-onset delinquents were not distinguished by these features. Here followed to age 26 years, the childhood-onset delinquents were the most elevated on psychopathic personality traits, mental-health problems, substance dependence, numbers of children, financial problems, work problems, and drug-related and violent crime, including violence against women and children. The adolescent-onset delinquents at 26 years were less extreme but elevated on impulsive personality traits, mental-health problems, substance dependence, financial problems, and property offenses. A third group of men who had been aggressive as children but not very delinquent as adolescents emerged as low-level chronic offenders who were anxious, depressed, socially isolated, and had financial and work problems. These findings support the theory of life-course-persistent and adolescence-limited antisocial behavior but also extend it. Findings recommend intervention with all aggressive children and with all delinquent adolescents, to prevent a variety of maladjustments in adult life.

paid positions in nonprofit organizations
Determining Who Should Be Paid. Because many nonprofit jobs are in the social-service and health-care service sectors, the lower earnings of nonprofit employees characterize a larger proportion of nonprofit employment than overall private-sector employment. At first glance, the simple difference between these two types of workers is that employees get paid … If a nonprofit requires employees, the employees’ wages are simply costs of doing business. All directors and officers owe a legal “fiduciary” duty of loyalty to their nonprofit organizations. Making a difference? In a nonprofit with paid staff, an important role of the board is its governance function: to hold staff accountable to the community purpose.

November 5, 2020 — Forty major educational, medical, and cultural Boston-based nonprofits paid $34.39 million in cash and gave $52.91 million in benefits to the city in lieu of property taxes during the most recent fiscal year, up marginally from the year before, but still short of the amount requested, according to a report released by the City of Boston on Tuesday. Accountant (Non-Profit) ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a leading service organization in the non-profit market and they're looking to hire an … State laws impose tight restrictions against nonprofit corporations' distributing profits to shareholders. We sure think so. In other words, you have to look at what other people doing similar jobs for similar organizations are paid. How this is handled in any particular nonprofit is usually determined by the organizations articles of incorporation and bylaws. 501(c)(3) board member compensation is not the same as it is in the corporate world.

Marks Emballage leaps into big league with a record double Gallus Labelmaster 440 deal, adds Pantec Rhino II and Prati kit
Baddi-based Marks Emballage has become the first Indian packaging company to order two Gallus Labelmaster flexo presses at a time, rounding off the investment with a Pantec Rhino II and Prati Kit. The new investment shall make them stand out in both capabilities and capacities in the label industry.
The two Gallus Labelmaster presses – an eight-color and ten-colour combination of Plus and Advanced variant will be installed at Marks’ new, second plant in Baddi soon.
Aaditya Kashyap, the managing director at Marks, said, “I saw ECS 340 in the Pune AIDKC center and was very impressed with the machine. However, when I saw the Labelmaster, it was love at first sight. Its features – servo dry technology, easy to use print operation with light print cylinders, consistent quality at high-speed, the new technology with the screen printing with over 100 meters per minute, I was convinced this is the press I want.”
Marks is promoted by a young entrepreneur from a prosperous pharma business family. The company started in 2013 with a modest label production facility to cater to pharma businesses in Baddi. It began with a Chinese flexo press, followed it up with a Bobstflexo press. “Both being mechanical presses; automation was something that was missing, where operator dependency to run these presses makes printing more human-dependent,” said Kashyap.
Today, Marks caters to some of the key names in the pharma industry. With the initial success and after seeing a definite requirement, the company decided to make a more significant foray into the label segment.
Aaditya explained, “When I look at the packaging market in India, especially labels, it is getting bigger and bigger. The purchasing power of every citizen has increased in India. We have seen packaging enter the interiors of India, and everything that wasn’t within reach earlier, are now easily available. Also within the Indian market, there are new Indian companies which are established with a strong belief that as an Indian company, they have to make things in India. All this is, and will, trigger growth in the label, carton, and flexible industry.”
He added, “On a very conservative side, the label market is estimated to be around Rs 3,000-crore. A 15% growth means Rs 450-crore of label jobs are there for the taking. All the brand owners need are quality label printers with capacities to produce, and grab the jobs. We are now starting with investing five-million Euros for our expansion, and there is a lot more to come.”
Chandrakant Gadhia, vice president for operations at Marks added that his company’s aim was to invest in a machine, which will have an excellent price-performance ratio and help achieve the highest operational efficiency for the company. “The Labelmaster offers us high automation thus reducing the human complexity and flexibility to work with different substrates like labels, monofoils, shrink sleeves, and lamitubes among others. It was one of the big win-points for the Labelmaster. Also since it is the latest generation designs, and it will remain in force for at least ten years. Lastly, having a competent local Gallus team in India sealed the deal in their favor.”
Samir Patkar, regional sales head – Asia for Gallus, who along with Ferdinand Rüesch, vice president of the Gallus board of directors, were present during the signing of the dual deal. Patkar said, Gallus’ newest flexo press, the Labelmaster series, addresses today’s challenges of the label printers focusing on increasing the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
“There are two critical issues the label printers face. One, the print run-lengths are getting shorter. At the same time, Printers are complaining about higher job changeover times. This leads to a serious need of the hour to get into higher operational efficiency. It’s a worldwide issue, but this pain-point is felt more among the Indian label printers because of higher inefficiency levels. Most of these inefficiencies come from the in-house processes followed in the print shops, particularly the lack of standardization processes. The Labelmaster is designed to address these very challenges of the label printer and focuses on improving productivity and keeping the print rate to the minimum.”
He added, “The second is: whatever is printed should be saleable. There’s an in-house print waste which cannot be sold, which means it’s the label company which is paying for it, not the brand owner. It’s eating away the profit margins. For the first time, Gallus has a press that can deliver consistent print quality at a speed up to 200 meters per min. The web path of the Labelmaster is designed to be short at 1.4 meters between two print units. The press is equipped with the latest automation of the servo drives making it simpler for the operator to run the press.”
Gadhia said the ten-color Labelmaster would be integrated with Pantec Rhino II print decoration kit – a vital investment for pharma jobs with security features. “The pharma space is seeing two changes – one is going the OTC route, which is cosmetic, allowing as much decoration on the packaging as possible. And second is security. Today security for pharma means providing vanilla holography, which is replicable by any vendor. Unless you can bring in some specialized multi-foil, add in a micro-emboss somewhere, you are not presenting any viable solution to the brand owners. You use the power of technology to produce that special value-add where security is concerned. With the Gallus and Pantec combo, we have a unique strength for cosmetic, personal care, FMCG, as well as wine and spirit labels too, thus giving us a platform to venture into jobs beyond pharma.”
Kashyap, who is passionate to build one of the best label and packaging companies concluded, “We have made an investment which makes us future-ready. It allows us to build our capacity as well as move into newer segments. We will be moving forward step by step, where we keep on adding portfolio as we progress, starting with self-adhesive labels.”

Iranian Nuclear Negociator: “Very Good Progress”
Keywords: Iran, Iranian Nuclear Crisis
TEHRAN (IRNA) — Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said in Vienna on Wednesday evening that good progress has been achieved at the Joint JCPOA Commission meeting about nuclear and sanctions issues.
Despite tensions in Gaza and Tehran active support for the Palestinians, the Iranian negotiator in Vienna seems more optimistic than anticipated. Araghchi who was speaking at a press conference after participating at the Joint JCPOA Commission said that the 4th round of Vienna negotiations following two weeks of very intensive talks at every level and on miscellaneous issues was held and finished today. We had two weeks of very hard work and today we decided to sum up our work and for the remaining issues the delegations will return to their capitals for last consultations. Araghchi said:
We managed to proceed a lot during these two weeks so that we can now say that we have achieved the framework of an agreement. This framework is the structure of an agreement as the main text of the agreement and its appendixes are defined. Of course, the negotiations on the final text have not finished yet, as on many articles of the agreement we are still negotiating.
However, Araghchi emphasized:
Some key issues are still disputed and agreement on them have not been achieved, which is the reason why the delegations decided to have a few days’ break and return to their capital cities for consultations.
All in all, I can say that good progress has been achieved, but we can still not say that the job’s done, although good progress has been achieved, and we hope next week after resuming the negotiations after the arrival of all delegations they will have made their decisions for reaching an agreement.
He concluded by expressing his hope that next week the negotiations will proceed “smoother and speedier”.
The 4th Joint JCPOA Commission’s final round of negotiations was held in Vienna’s Grand Hotel. According to an IRNA Wednesday report, in this round of talks which were held in the presence of the Iranian and other JCPOA member states, the heads of the delegations reviewed the archived progress in the work of the commissions am exchanged viewpoints on the path ahead before reaching the agreement.

Juvenile lobster abundance
Postlarval lobsters that settle to the bottom grow to become adult lobsters harvested in the fishery. It makes sense for us to try to monitor the abundance of recently settled and early juvenile lobsters so that we can detect declines in lobster abundance before we see declines in catch.
Some newspapers have recently reported downward trends in abundance of larval and early juvenile lobsters. Data collected by scientists at The Lobster Conservancy (TLC) do not support these claims. A critical comparison of the methods used to measure abundance by those who reported declines vs. those used by TLC may explain the discrepancies.
Measures of abundance are based on numbers per unit area. Simple counts cannot be compared to other counts. Some reliable, objective, fixed effort must be included. The most acceptable is number per unit of area, which, in my case, is number of lobsters per meter squared. Choosing the relevant times and places to sample are critical to understanding changes in lobster abundance over time. Plausible explanations for such differences include when and where abundance was measured.
Reports of declines in the abundance of recently settled lobsters were based on an index developed through data gathered by researchers surveying in September of each year.
In contrast, TLC scientists take monthly samples year-round, which offers a more complete picture of settlement throughout the year. Although TLC data shows a strong seasonal cycle, the peak abundance of recently settled lobsters generally occurs in October, not September. Therefore, declines in September abundance may not mean that lobsters failed to settle in a given year.
Where abundance is measured is also important. Researchers are not covering enough sea floor to have an adequate picture of what is going on throughout the range of the lobster stocks. This shortcoming is being remedied by several efforts including TLC’s Volunteer-Based Juvenile Lobster Monitoring Program.
In addition to year-round sampling by TLC scientists in Friendship and Harpswell, ME, TLC has recruited community volunteers who measure juvenile lobster abundance at 24 sites distributed throughout the Gulf of Maine from May through October of each year.
How lobsters make use of the locations where they settle is also of interest. Repeated captures of tagged individuals in Harpswell have shown that some juvenile lobsters continue to live in the area where they settled for the first four years of life. Although tagged lobsters have been recaptured during all months of the year, most juveniles undertake seasonal migrations, usually disappearing in November and returning in May.
While providing much needed data on lobster abundance, volunteers participating in the juvenile lobster monitoring program are becoming stewards of coastal habitats. All lobster nurseries identified thus far occur close to shore where the impacts of human activities are greatest. Recognizing and monitoring lobster nursery habitats puts local citizen scientists in a position to better protect the interests of their lobstering communities.
