Sep 08, 2011	Fighting Backlog in Patents, Senate Approves Overhaul QUOTE: The Senate approved a sweeping reform of the nation’s patent laws on Thursday, sending to President Obama a bill that changes the system for determining priority for inventions at the patent office and provides more financing for an agency beset by application backlogs and outdated computer systems. After rejecting proposed amendments to a bill approved by the House last June, the Senate voted 89 to 9 to pass the bill, completing an effort of at least six years to overhaul the patent office’s operations and the procedures by which patents can be challenged.	New York Times
Jun 14, 2011	Banks Turn to Schumer on Patents QUOTE: After years of fighting Mr. Ballard at the federal Patent Office, in court and across a negotiating table, the banks went to see one of their best friends in Congress, Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, who inserted into a patent overhaul bill a provision that appears largely aimed at helping banks rid themselves of the Ballard problem.	New York Times

New York Times

Backs Plan to Honor Privacy of Online Users QUOTE: Saying that online companies have failed to protect the privacy of Internet users, the Federal Trade Commission recommended a broad framework for commercial use of Web consumer data, including a simple and universal “do not track” mechanism that would essentially give consumers the type of control they gained over marketers with the national “do not call” registry.

Aug 01, 2009	TV Contestants: Tired, Tipsy and Pushed to Brink QUOTE: But with no union representation, participants on reality series are not covered by Hollywood workplace rules governing meal breaks, minimum time off between shoots or even minimum wages.... But interviews with two dozen former contestants — most of whose agreements expired after three years — from half a dozen reality series suggest that the programs routinely use isolation, sleeplessness and alcohol to encourage wild behavior.	New York Times

Jun 26, 2008	Hollywood Braces for an Actors’ Strike QUOTE: SAG’s leadership is lobbying Aftra members to reject the contract offer because the larger union says it does not offer enough in minimum wages for major television series roles and does not secure adequate payments for the digital use of actors’ work. SAG is also seeking new rules on product placement and an increase in allowance for gas and travel costs.	New York Times
May 01, 2008	‘Idol’ Judge Admits Rehearsal Guided Her QUOTE: The issue raises questions about the credibility of the show....The judges frequently warn the contestants that they have to inspire and excite the audience each week and that they risk elimination if they let their attention wane. “American Idol” has long promoted that each contestant’s fate hangs on the live broadcast, when anything can happen.

Apr 05, 2002	Pension Change Puts the Burden on the Worker QUOTE: [401(k)'s and similar retirement accounts]...lack the protections of the old pension plans, like a guaranteed benefit and federal insurance to protect retirees if the company goes bankrupt.	New York Times
Oct 20, 1999	A Whole Other Type of E-trade: Internet Firms Swap Ad Space, Then Count It As Revenue QUOTE: In few cases do investors have any idea how big barter has become. Most companies that include barter deals in their reported revenue, like Sportsline, do not mention the practice in their earnings news releases. Only by reading far into a company's quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission would an investor find disclosures about such transactions.	New York Times
