Apple Wins Infringement Lawsuit

Apple Wins Infringement Lawsuit 300x99 Apple Wins Infringement Lawsuit

Apple Wins Infringement Lawsuit

This week the U.S. International Trade Commission came to their final ruling in one of the many Apple lawsuits regarding patent infringement by Android manufacturers. This specific case was Apple against HTC for the apparent infringement of a patent regarding how email address and phone numbers are automatically pulled from emails and text messages.

The patent infringement case was considered a win for Apple as the ITC officially ruled that HTC must now stop importing any and all offending smartphones immediately. HTC will not be fined but this is still enough of a victory to hopefully prevent future issues like this and send a message to Android and other manufacturers that infringement will not be tolerated. No word on the remainder of lawsuits on the tablet involving Apple but there are still quite a few waiting to be dealt with in the coming months.

I told you so regarding debt limit

The panic stories haven't yet begun ? but they're coming.

Soon you will hear the familiar shrieks from Federal Reserve officials bullying against any opposition to raising the debt limit one more time.

The media, too, will be telling you there is no other option. To stop borrowing endlessly will result in death, chaos and an end to life in America as we know it.

Worse yet, Republicans will posture about the need to cut spending, but most will go along with more borrowing ? providing Barack Obama with all the funny money he needs to continue his scorched-earth policy of destruction of the U.S. economy.

What am I talking about?

The Treasury is now just $149 billion away from hitting the new debt ceiling set last in September. Without immediate real cuts in the budget, which are highly unlikely, that limit will be reached in January.

So here we go again.

I hate to say it, but I told you so. In fact, besides the 22 House Republicans who voted against the last hike in the debt limit, I am pretty much alone in American public life as an advocate of the"No More Red Ink" philosophy.

I hope that is about to change, because there's an old adage that says, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results." It's time to stop doing the same thing over and over again.

It's time for Americans to rise up in anger and demand "No More Red Ink."

What would that mean? How could it be done?

(Column continues below)

It would mean that at least one house of Congress would have to say no to more borrowing. I actually thought that's why some of us elected Republicans to control the House in 2010. Most of them pledged to do just that. But they caved in to the establishment politics of Washington, which includes their own leadership.

However, they will get another shot to do the right thing very soon. I am determined to do everything I can to lobby the House Republicans to just say no. We need to make it a 2012 campaign issue. We need to get the Republican presidential candidates to weigh in. (At least two of them were among the House Republicans who voted correctly last August.)

But, most of all, we need to organize and lobby the House Republicans very hard.

That's why I am bringing back, for a second try, the "No More Red Ink" campaign that generated more than 1 million red letters to the House Republicans earlier this year. I believe following the abject failure of House Speaker John Boehner's compromise with Obama in August, more House Republicans will take a principled stand in opposition to endless borrowing.

What I am saying to you is not something you will hear from the TV talking-head, robot-like pundits. Not borrowing is not the end of the world, it's the beginning of recovery for America. It's the beginning of fiscal responsibility and discipline. It's the beginning of a return to constitutionally limited government. And we can do it overnight ? with one simple no vote by House Republicans.

I truly believe this vote is every bit as important as the one we'll all participate in next November when we choose a president. Why? Because, if you believe Obama is taking a wrecking ball to the Constitution and the economy, this is the way to pull the plug on him right now ? with one vote in Congress.

And, let's face it, if we're going to trust the Republican Party next November, shouldn't we expect its members to do the right thing in January?

Is there really a fundamental difference between the parties? Let's find out now!

Please support the new "No More Red Ink" campaign right now. Help me spread the word far and wide.

Stone, Huberdeau dominate in Canada?s win over Finland

By The Canadian Press

Canada 8 Finland 1

EDMONTON ? Mark Stone and Jonathan Huberdeau had instant chemistry playing on opposite wings during the Canadian junior hockey team?s summer camp in August.

The two big forwards clicked again and dominated Canada?s 8-1 win over Finland to open the world junior hockey championship Monday.

Stone, who plays for the Western Hockey League?s Brandon Wheat Kings, scored a hat trick. Huberdeau of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League?s Saint John Sea Dogs had a five-point game with a goal and four assists.

Huberdeau will be a key player for Canada in its bid to re-claim the gold medal at the world junior championship. He was the third overall pick in the NHL draft this year by the Florida Panthers and was the Memorial Cup MVP last season.

He couldn?t fully participate in the Canadian team?s selection camp earlier this month because of a broken bone in his foot. Canada?s exhibition game last week against Switzerland was Huberdeau?s first since Nov. 7.

Canadian head coach Don Hay kept Huberdeau on the team because he?s a difference-maker and also complements Stone so well.

Stone has hands that are anything but as the Ottawa Senators draft pick and Winnipeg native leads the WHL in scoring. Stone and Huberdeau are both over six foot one and difficult for the opposition to contain.

?Stone just continues to score goals for us and it?s great to see Jonathan get some confidence and start the tournament off with a game like that,? Hay said.

?They?re two different guys, but they do good work in their areas of the ice. Mark does a great job in front of the net. He?s got great hands for a big guy. Jonathan really sees the ice well and can put pucks in the small areas.?

Buoyed by the roars of the 16,647 at Rexall Place, the host country put in a complete performance with solid goaltending, smart defensive plays and a hard-charging attack.

Brendan Gallagher of the Vancouver Giants, Niagara IceDogs defenceman Dougie Hamilton and forward Ryan Strome and Brett Connolly of the NHL?s Tampa Bay Lightning also scored for Canada.

Alexander Ruuttu, son of former NHL player Christian Ruuttu, scored Finland?s lone goal early in the second period to temporarily pull his country within one goal.

Canada?s team at the world junior hockey championship suffered a major blow in its tournament opener.

Forward Devante Smith-Pelly broke his left foot after blocking a shot in the second period of Canada?s 8-1 rout of Finland on Monday and will miss the remainder of the tournament.

The Anaheim Ducks forward, one of only two NHL players on the Canadian team, cannot be replaced on the 22-man roster.

The only situation in which a team could add another player at this point in the tournament would be in the case of a goaltender injury.

Hay went with experience in net by giving Mark Visentin of the IceDogs the first start of the tournament. The Phoenix Coyotes prospect made 24 saves on 25 shots for the win.

Visentin was Canada?s starting goaltender for the medal round of the 2011 tournament in Buffalo, N.Y. His big save on Teemu Pulkkinen with three minutes to go in the first period Monday preserved Canada?s 2-0 lead heading into the second.

?I?m happy with my performance tonight,? said Visentin. ?Obviously there?s little things I?d like to fix up. I let (another) Phoenix draftee Ruuttu score. Good for him. He?s a good guy, but I only let him get one and one only.?

After giving up four goals on 17 shots in Canada?s final pre-tournament game against Sweden, there were questions whether Hay would go with Visentin or Scott Wedgewood of the Plymouth Whalers.

?It was always going to be Mark in my mind,? Hay said. ?The experience of coming out in front of a crowd like this, he?s been exposed to that last year in Buffalo. When you have a veteran goalie coming back you really have to give him the opportunity to lead off the tournament.?

Finland went with Chris Gibson of the QMJHL?s Chicoutimi Sagueneens in goal. Canada pelted the Los Angeles Kings prospect with 42 shots as Finland?s defence wilted under Canadian pressure.

Canada had beaten the Finns 3-1 in a pre-tournament game in Calgary last week.

?What can I say? Eight-one,? Finland coach Raimo Helminen said. ?I couldn?t prepare our team to play as much as I should. We were not ready, not physically, not mentally in this game at the beginning.?

Canada has Tuesday off before facing the Czech Republic on Wednesday and Denmark the following day. The hosts conclude Pool B play on Saturday versus the United States. The U.S. was to face Denmark in Monday?s later game in Edmonton.

In Calgary, Sweden defeated Latvia 9-4 in a Pool A game with defending champion Russia set to face Switzerland at night.

The top team in each pool earns a bye to the semifinal round. The second and third teams cross over and meet in the quarter-finals.

Ryan Johansen played centre between Huberdeau and Stone during summer camp, but Johansen wasn?t made available to play for Canada by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

So Hay inserted Strome between the two wingers and the New York Islanders prospect thrived there with a goal and three assists.

Stone?s third goal at 4:05 of the third period prompted a cascade of hats from the stands.

?He?s always in the right spot in the slot,? Huberdeau observed. ?He scores a lot of goals. You could see that in exhibition games. He scored in every exhibition game since the beginning so it?s easy to play with him.?

'Sanford & Son' actor Graham Brown dies in NJ (AP)

ENGLEWOOD, N.J. ? An actor who appeared on stage at London's Globe Theatre and on television in "Sanford & Son" has died in New Jersey.

Graham Brown was 87.

Actress Barbara Montgomery often appeared with Brown on the stage and had power of attorney on his behalf. She says he died Tuesday of pulmonary failure at the Lillian Booth Actors' Fund Nursing Home in Englewood.

Montgomery says Brown was meticulous and was a gentleman.

Brown often appeared in stage productions of the New York-based Negro Ensemble Company and was a founding member of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

He played a school principal on the 1970s sitcom "Sanford & Son" and a judge on "Law & Order." He also had roles in movies including "Malcolm X," "Clockers" and "The Muppets Take Manhattan."

Rapper Slim Dunkin slain in Atlanta music studio

Atlanta police say the rapper Slim Dunkin was gunned down Friday evening in a city music studio as he prepared to record a video.

Police Maj. Keith Meadows said the performer, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was fatally shot in the chest after getting into an argument with another individual.

"It appears the victim was scheduled to do a photo shoot," Meadows told The Associated Press. "Before the video shoot took place, it appears the victim and suspect got involved in a verbal altercation. We don't know what that altercation was about."

"The suspect produced a weapon, discharged that handgun one time, striking the victim in the chest," Meadows said.

The performer was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Meadows said police have not been able to identify the shooter. He said 13 to 20 people were in the small office-type building in southeast Atlanta at the time of the shooting, which took place around 5:30 p.m., but they were in different places.

"We've questioned a number of witnesses inside the recording studio at this time." Meadows said.

Police have not recovered the handgun that was used. Investigators remained at the scene late Friday evening.

"Right now we're just trying to....identify who may have seen what, really just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together," Meadows said. "It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just trying to go back and make sense of everything."

Meadows said the victim was in his early 20s and resided in the Atlanta area.

Many fans were posting messages late Friday night on the rapper's Facebook page.

Mtv.com reported that Slim Dunkin had appeared on a number of songs with the performer Waka Flocka. The website reported that the Brick Squad Monopoly rapper was on a solo track and had recently released a 20-track mix tape that featured Gucci Mane. Roscoe Dash and Pastor Troy.
