With Ebola quarantine battle brewing, President Obama heads to Maine | FOX6Now.com
Mike Michaud, the Democratic governor candidate Portland, Maine (CNN) -- When President Barack Obama visited Maine on Thursday, he didn't come within 300 miles of the nurse protesting her state-mandated Ebola quarantine . But he has inserted himself in the middle of a growing debate between the federal government and states over their rules for health workers returning from the Ebola zone. Kaci Hickox, the Doctors Without Borders worker hailed by the White House as a hero for treating Ebola patients in Liberia, on Thursday defied the demands the Maine's Republican governor to remain inside her home near the Quebec border. She was spotted leaving her house by bike, trailed by a state trooper. Obama, who traveled to Portland on Thursday for a campaign rally, has sought to tamp down on fears of recently-returned health workers, inviting a group of them to the White House Wednesday and hailing their mission as essential. Kaci Hickox's wild ride Obama: U.S. leading way against Ebola Should Ebola nurse be in quarantine? "When they come home, they deserve to be treated properly," he said in the East Room on Wednesday, flanked by doctors still within the 21-day incubation period. "They deserve to be treated like the heroes that they are." Rules implemented this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention require closer monitoring of health workers returning from West Africa, but stop short of requiring any type of quarantine. Many states have gone further, insisting nurses and doctors remain isolated for three weeks. The White House has questioned those state laws, saying the rules are too strict and not guided by the science of Ebola. The virus is spread through bodily fluids and patients aren't considered contagious until they're showing symptoms of the disease. "When I hear people talking about American leadership and then are promoting policies that would avoid leadership and have us running in the opposite direction and hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated," Obama said on Wednesday. Hickox was initially quarantined inside a tent in Newark before being allowed to leave for her home in Maine, where Gov. Paul LePage said he'd require her to remain inside her home for 21 days. Hickox said the state rules amount to a restriction on her civil rights and has threatened a legal battle over the mandated isolation. LePage, an Republican whose past off-color remarks have garnered national headlines, sent state troopers to Hickox's Fort Kent home to enforce the quarantine. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said only that Obama believed state policies "should be guided by science," but wouldn't go to say whether Obama believed Maine's rules lived up to that tenet. A five-hour drive south from the unfolding legal machinations, Democrats welcomed Obama for a political rally supporting LePage's opponent Mike Michaud, who scored a boost to his chances on Wednesday when the state's independent Sen. Angus King lent his backing. Michaud, a six-term congressman, is locked in a dead heat with LePage. Like past races in Maine, an independent is also in the mix, though Eliot Cutler is running well behind the two main party candidates. Maine's gubernatorial contest is one of only a handful of stops Obama will make on the campaign trail this year; his record low approval ratings and controversial policies have made him unwelcome in key Senate battles. Thursday Obama hit Republicans as full of bad ideas, and resistant to measures he said could help improve the lives of middle class Americans, like boosting the minimum wage and insisting on equal pay for women. The objective in Maine, according to University of New England political science professor Brian Duff, is to get Democrats to just "act like Democrats" -- that is, vote for Michaud over the trailing independent. "There is a sense that voters just need a final push to come back into the fold," Duff said. "They are helped by the fact that the current Republican governor is not popular, and has very conservative views that are out of step with the majority of Mainers." One area LePage and and his rival have found agreement, however, is quarantining Hickox. "It's the state's responsibility to make sure that people are protected here in the state of Maine for public safety and I support the 21 day quarantine," the Democrat told reporters Wednesday.

Small-office and solo practitioners were the most vocal about it ; they had always had a difficult time affording the services of commercial publishers, even in print . And now there was access to a significant chunk of material that had previously been lodged firmly behind paywalls. It was linked and searchable, and still better, it offered a version of the citation-tracking and evaluation features that lawyers knew and loved in expensive commercial systems. It had first-class sorting and filtering features. It had Bluebook -form citations for each case (pretty much the epitome of something that nobody but lawyers knows or cares about , but a very thoughtful touch indeed). Nobody in the open-access arena had tried such a thing, and probably only Google could have. One commentator said that, Google fired (arguably) the loudest...salvo in the battle for free access to caselaw and it apparently came as a tweet. Scholars immediate impact on the legal profession was owed in large part to its technical virtuosity. It was an unusual display of ingenuity used to democratize services and features whose value had mostly been known only to lawyers. But, for the legal profession, it was happening in the middle of a long-brewing, near-perfect storm. Since at least the early 90s , clients had complained about surcharges that law firms added to legal research costs. By 2000, there was growing refusal to reimburse legal-research fees at all; clients felt that the firms online charges were just a part of overhead, like water and electricity. That was not an isolated gripe; rather, it was a visible crack in a business model that we now know had been eroding for quite some time . By one estimate, the 2008 implosion of the financial-services industry destroyed over a third of the legal employment in New York. A lot of firms changed radically or disappeared altogether in the aftermath. You could talk, in dry academic terms, about downward price pressure on the industry. One suspects that the feeling was more like riding in an elevator whose cables had been cut. There had been free offerings of caselaw online for some time , starting with a BBS system offered by the Cleveland Freenet in 1989; the first web-based effort started here at Cornell in 1992, and was followed with a full edition of all Federal statutes in 1994. Elsewhere -- notably in Canada and Australia -- open-access systems offered by third parties had evolved into the de facto national standard. And government was catching up, with many law creators publishing their materials online, for free. Free services had never been the first choice of lawyers in the US. Some of the reasons were rational -- free services often lacked features that lawyers depend on, most provided very little in the way of commentary or annotation, and in any case they were highly distributed. There was no one-stop shopping in the world of open access to law, just a lot of websites offering different collections. The irrational reasons were, if anything, even more interesting and far more influential, though much more deeply buried in lawyer psyches. Lawyers are notoriously conservative in their work methods, and many law librarians even more so . Anything that was both new and noncommercial was inherently suspect . And the commercial services had had more than a century to reinforce the idea that size and comprehensiveness were the only measures of quality that mattered . Even so, its hard to convey the degree to which lawyers mistrust distributed systems. As John Lederer once remarked, Lawyers dont buy books -- they buy systems of books, and so it was with electronic products as well. It was easy for lawyers to dismiss what they saw as isolated pockets of legal information offered by volunteers at wildly different levels of added value, and marketers of commercial services had been quick to emphasize these qualities . That said, in the year prior to the addition of caselaw to Scholar, Cornells website had delivered well over 81 million pageviews to nearly 14 million unique visitors. 4.5 million of those pageviews went to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure , a collection unlikely to be used by anyone but lawyers. Comes now Google, a company with unparalleled capacity and legendary technical skills, offering a large collection of caselaw under one roof, with a workable citator and advanced search functionality. That was a big story, and it was often reported as Google takes on commercial legal-research behemoths. It was free access offered from a source that could not be dismissed as somehow beneath notice or unlikely to survive. Googles offerings in Scholar thus became a validation of, and a capstone on, the things that open-access advocates had been doing for years. Apart from its inherent value -- which was, and is, huge -- it was a sign that freely accessible legal information was technically advanced and more than sufficient for many if not most professional needs. Most of all, it signaled that free legal information was something to be taken seriously. It sent that signal at a time when circumstances compelled the profession to pay far more attention than it otherwise might have . Scholar not only brought us a new and capable collection, it brought a new level and quality of attention to the entire open-access enterprise. Everyone else I began by telling a story about law and lawyers, but of course theres an even more compelling story about law and everyone else. Laws -- and particularly statutes and regulations -- affect everybody . They describe whats possible and permissible, what it costs to do business, what we can expect from government and what government can expect from us. On any given day, an open-access legal web site such as ours, or Scholar, is used by people who are helping veterans get the benefits to which theyre entitled, small businesses planning new courses of action, and students at all levels who are learning about the Constitution and our system of government. There are law-enforcement personnel learning about the limits and obligations of their position, hospital managers consulting public-benefits law, and people finding out what they have to do to sell new products in new markets. Those people need access to law. They need to be able to create starting points for themselves, using search to connect words and phrases that they already understand with concepts and explanations that at first they will not understand at all. They need to be able to follow their noses from those poorly-understood things to other pages that will explain them. Making all that possible is the next challenge. What now? Google Scholars caselaw collection offers features -- such as citators -- that are a step toward the system of books that would fully integrate primary legal sources and commentary into a practical resource for public understanding and professional practice. The legal-information ecosystem on the Web as a whole is moving in that direction. As that progresses, the benefits to everyone affected by law -- which is to say, everyone, period -- will be enormous. We will move beyond making law available on the Web to making it truly accessible on the Web -- not just discoverable, but understandable. In 1992, starting with important caselaw collections, the open-access community began connecting law to itself. Hyperlinks gave readers a way to seamlessly follow citations -- at least if the cited thing was available online somewhere. And simply seeing to it that the things that ought to be online are online kept us all busy for a very long time (and is still a significant problem, in many places , some of them surprisingly close to home ). We need to increase the density of connections between documents by making connections easier for machines (rather than human authors) to create. We need to hugely increase the amount of freely-available material that explains the law. And we need to -- in ways both trivial, and not -- make it possible for people to find the laws that affect them using things they already know. Regulations provide a really good arena for thinking about such problems, for two reasons. First, they are harder for information systems to deal with. They are inconsistently drafted by a wide variety of people. For example, the Code of Federal Regulations is essentially a compilation of the work of perhaps 200 agencies (nobody really knows exactly how many). And, compared to caselaw, regulations have been relatively neglected by open-access publishers. Finally, and most importantly, they are the largest single contact surface between the public and the legal system. Yes, there are Supreme Court cases that are sweeping in their effect on daily life -- roughly half a dozen a year, compared to the thousands and thousands of cases in the Federal system that are just about two people suing two other people over something that only four people care about (and maybe a fifth if you count the judge). Regulations affect lots of people , and they change often . That makes them much more of a challenge for open-access publishers, both technically and economically. It also makes it that much more urgent to provide citizens with improved modes of access and value-added services such as notification of changes and anything and everything that would make compliance easier.

With Ebola battle brewing, Obama heads to Maine - CNN.com
The PBS and Acorn business plans have been growing more disparate, she said. Its important to be aware of what everybodys long game is. Penella Masterpiece, the first U.S. home of the vast majority of previous Poirotepisodes, contractually had first dibs on the shows, provided it met the same commercial terms as for previous episodes. But in late 2011, when thenrights holder ITV offered the final five episodes, Masterpiecetook only two, following its routine practice of buying shows as needed and as its budget allowed. In the meantime, Acorn Media purchased a majority stake in the Agatha Christie estate and learned that production of the last three shows was in danger because the Masterpiece deal wasnt complete. The company stepped in and bought up the rights, assuming that it would resell them toMasterpiece, said Penella via an Acorn spokesperson. But the rights negotiations were complicated by each partys growing interest in digital streaming. Acorn TV, a subscriber-based streaming service launched in July 2011, had been gaining traction with British TV fans. PBS, meanwhile, was working to develop its own video-on-demand service as a premium for station membership. In late 2013, negotiations over the final Poirotepisodes fell apart, partly due to disagreements over digital streaming. In the end, the detective franchise that Masterpiecehad built over 25 years went to its new rival. Acorn Media got to trumpet the episodes premiere on its new streaming service, but it missed out on the much wider exposure that would have been gained from a broadcast premiere on Masterpiece, which in 2014 is averaging a weekly audience of 6.9 million viewers. It still benefits them to have a program on PBS, Eaton said. Its basically an ad for their DVDs. Each side says the other made unreasonable demands. Eaton blamed Acorns insistence on keeping the premiere of the episodes for its own streaming service. Both PBS and Masterpieceobjected to that, she said, adding that the show and PBS require exclusivity and first digital and broadcast release of any property. In addition, she said, Acorns negotiating position on future streaming rights was problematic, because Masterpiece and PBS are very interested in acquiring all rights to shows that air on PBS. A broadcast onMasterpiecedraws a tremendous audience and is a tremendous showplace for the next life of a show, she said. But Penella said Acorn was forced to turn to its own streaming service for the premiere after the two sides were unable to come to an agreement, with streaming rights just one contentious point in a complicated lengthy process during which multiple alternatives were discussed. They wanted morerights for a lower price, and that presented a problem, said Penella, citing the productions high quality and costs. Theres a budget that we have to cover, he said. Recognizing that Poirotstill needed a broadcast premiere to boost awareness of the final season, Acorn syndicated the episodes directly to public TV stations. Local programmers went for the syndication package. Clearance currently stands at a healthy 83.5 percent of the country. Weve gotten a really good reception, said Dan Hamby, a consultant for RLJ Entertainment. An August pledge special Being Poirotreached nearly 70 percent clearance. Acorn also produced and self-distributed a second show for December pledge. Superserving British TV fans For stations that program their own line-ups of British drama, Acorn TV is proving to be a good testing ground for shows that ultimately prove popular for local stations, Hamby said. PBS passed on the Australian Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries,he noted, but after a premiere on Acorn TV, local stations have met with really good success with the show. Streaming premieres of Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, starring Essie Davis as private detective Phryne Fisher, have helped boost subscriptions to Acorn TV. (Photo: Australian Broadcasting Corp.) Subscriptions have grown rapidly for three-year-old Acorn TV, which charges $5 a month or $50 a year. Just 12 months ago, it had only 25,000 subscribers. According to Penella, sign-ups have more than quadrupled due to exclusive streaming premieres of the sixth season of Doc Martin, new episodes of Jack Irishand the very last Poirotepisodes, as well as the second season of Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries. He anticipates more growth with the hiring of Matt Graham, senior director of award-winning PBS Digital Studios, to run Acorn TV. Graham, who started Oct. 20, declined to comment. RLJ Entertainment wants to build Acorn TV into the premiere destination for British drama, with a deeper library than PBS, Netflix or Amazon, Penella said. Graham brings expertise on how to reach audiences on digital platforms but is also a smart business person. We think he raises our skill set internally. For Eaton, the companys goals to superserve British TV fans are problematic. Our audience is potentially their audience on Acorn TV, she said. I think its very important for stations to be aware that the shows theyre buying are having a premiere on Acorn TV. At $5 a month, that can create a lot of money and a very potent force in the marketplace. There may come a point in the future where viewers have to decide whether to be a member of their local station or a subscriber to Acorn. By contrast, she said, the all-British digital channel WETA UK, which currently airs only in the Washington, D.C., metro area, may be seeking the same audiences but is not in competition for subscriber money.

The result is what is now called the Bay Area Advanced Manufacturing hub , or BAAM. Type A Machines has dubbed the building, which was once a Chrysler plant and later a Caterpillar factory, The Gate, and seven other startups have already moved in. At least five more are on the way. Sivertsen made it clear that Type A Machines is only interested in non-competing companies joining the location. But software, filament and service startups are all welcome, and the result is a wildly different mix of people and technologies. Our goal is basically to work together to create a seamless user experience, Sivertsen said. Mind 2 Matter co-founders Rod Wagner and Justin Kelly with their 3D printer farm. Photo by Signe Brewster. Mind 2 Matter , which uses 3D-printed models to create molds for metal casting, lives just down the hall from Type A Machines. Co-founder Rod Wagner uses his background in jewelry to create unusual shapes out of metal, while co-founder Justin Kelly builds custom Nerf guns with 3D printed parts. Its all done with off-the-shelf 3D printers, including Type A Machines Series 1. Every startup at BAAM uses the others products as much as it can and gives feedback. For example, Drakes Brewing Company, which has a tap room downstairs, recently wanted a way to recycle the plastic cups it serves to customers. OmNom , a BAAM member, started recycling them into 3D printer filament. Source http://finance.yahoo.com/news/next-hot-spot-3d-printing-150035546.html
Diamond Knot: A party 20 years in the making | The Herald Business Journal
Speaker John Boehner has followed the "Hastert Rule" of not attempting to pass legislation unless the majority of his party favor it. As a result, Boehner's Congress has done less work than any in decades, because his own party is split. If voters should have anything on their minds as they go to the polls, it should be "How hard did my representative work to end gridlock?" Or did he or she pick up a six-figure paycheck for essentially doing nothing? A Democratic majority in the Senate does not stand in the way of Republicans governing. They have their own severe gridlock that they haven't been able to overcome. A Republican victory won't change that. Conservative (tea party) Republicans are salivating at the thought of having enough numbers to control their leaders. Source http://news.yahoo.com/supersize-gridlock-please-023755973.html

That 10,000 square-foot facility became the Diamond Knot Production Brewery and Taproom. It is still open and houses the headquarters for the business. With an increase in production space, Diamond Knot could now produce more of their own beers and were also able to brew signature beers for other businesses. For example, Fred's Rivertown Alehouse in Snohomish, Diamond Knot's first customer outside of Cheers Too, has their own Fred's Rivertown Brown beer created for them by Diamond Knot Brewing. The company continued in its slow but steady growth. Just before the recession, in 2007, the company took over the Camano Lodge on Camano Island and added a restaurant and alehouse there. The following year they opened a pizza house in Mukilteo that could serve families. Source http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20141029/BIZ/141028979/1005/2-beers-started-it-all
