We are perfect Buddha Mind Patent Licenses We work to support our users in various domains. The first user is in sustainability, through a project called GreenXchange (GX). Visit the GX site for more information. Patent Strategies for Promoting Open Innovation Creative Commons has a vision of creating an open innovation platform that promotes the creation and adoption of technologies that have the potential to solve important global or industry-wide challenges. Our goal is to encourage patent holders to make their patent portfolio available for licensing through public license offers that are offered to everyone on reasonable terms, while retaining the defensive benefits of patents. To provide the maximum benefit, we propose the following principles for patent licenses: 1) the terms and conditions of the license should be made public and openly available for all to read; 2) the offer is valid and complete, so that anyone who can agree to it is empowered to accept without further negotiation.
Blogtown, PDX The first reports, in the wee hours this morning, mentioned something about an armed man running through a neighborhood in Southwest Portland—around SW Capitol and Primrose—and police calling out their tactical unit. But the real story about what was happening while most of us slept didn't spill out until a little after 7 this morning in a long police statement. It's not been revealed what led to the encounter. But this is what police say happened: A man, maybe carrying a rifle, had injured a canine-handling officer in a shootout near SW Capitol and Lobelia—and then had run off. That's when the tactical team was called. The Oregonian interviewed a woman near the scene of the shooting. Jan Thorpe, who lives on Southwest Capitol Highway at Lobelia Street, said she was first roused from sleep about 2:50 a.m. by a police siren. A little while later, regular 911 calls, from concerned neighbors, eventually led police to the man they were seeking. The full police statement is after the jump.

This is a comment on the author's book, Plastic Free. The book is crammed full of advice and commentary about what she went through to change her over-purchasing of plastic. She is not saying: "Avoid plastic entirely." What Beth Terry is saying: Look at what you are doing and change slowly. She tells how she is doing it. Book contains more than you would think. Her blogsite started with her weighing her plastic garbage as a way to document her progress. by house.rx Nov 19
