Trade secret litigation aimed at chilling the free mobility of employees is an all too common occurrence, particularly in hot markets like the technology sector. Even the most frivolous of cases can cost defendants tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars or more in defense costs. A recent California appellate decision should help deter the filing of such improper and harassing litigation. California’s Sixth Appellate Court of Appeal recently upheld the Santa Clara County Superior Court’s award of attorney’s fees plus costs against plaintiff, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, for filing a trade secret misappropriation claim against its competitor, Maxim Integrated Products. Cypress Semiconductor Corp. v. Maxim Integrated Prods., Inc., 236 Cal. App. 4th 243 (2015). Specifically, the appellate court affirmed the attorney fee award under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA) after the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the suit without prejudice prior to a pleadings challenge. Under CUTSA, the prevailing party may recover defense costs when a plaintiff brings a trade secret misappropriation claim in bad faith. Cal. Civ. Code § 3426.4.
While the California Legislature has not defined “bad faith,” California courts routinely apply a two-prong test that requires (1) objective speciousness of the claim, and (2) subjective bad faith in filing the claim. In this case, plaintiff, Cypress, alleged that its competitor was targeting its employees for the purpose of misappropriating proprietary information. The appellate court found Cypress’s trade secret claim easily met the test for bad faith. It determined that Cypress filed the claim solely to intimidate and “cow” its competition into refraining from engaging in entirely lawful conduct. It further held Cypress’s complaint was meritless, relying on mere “naked assertions” rather than well-plead facts and asserting “nonsensical” trade secret theories that included claiming publicly available information was confidential. The manner in which the litigation was pursued also appears to have influenced the decision. Cypress delayed identifying its trade secrets for months and ultimately dismissed the case in the face of a pleadings challenge rather than face an adverse determination on the merits.
It was clear to the appellate court that Cypress filed the trade secret claim in an attempt to shut down or interfere with its competitor’s entirely lawful recruiting activities based on an inevitable disclosure doctrine, which has been roundly rejected by California courts. The lessons taught in Cypress Semiconductor remind would-be trade secret plaintiffs to carefully consider filing trade secret claims in light of the CUTSA’s bad faith standard.

A woman whose son was the first person in Queensland to be given access to medicinal cannabis is worried about the way regulators are going.
A Queensland mother whose ill son became the first person in the state to be given the right to medicinal cannabis will address a forum on drugs policy.
Lanai Carter's son Lindsay, 19, has a brain tumour and suffers from epilepsy. He was recommended cannabis oil and dried flowers as part of his treatment by doctors in the US, but the family has not been able to obtain the same product in Australia.
That's due to the complexities of importation laws, production licences and the availability of supplies - and it has left Ms Carter worried about the treatment available for her son.
At Lady Cilento Children's Hospital a trial using CBD cannabinoid products is underway, but research from Israel shows oils containing THC work better for people with epilepsy and brain tumours, Ms Carter said.
"They're already starting to narrow what can be prescribed," she told AAP.
"It's very frustrating."
Ms Carter said some states in the US had an effective, tailored approach to medicinal cannabis and fears Australian regulators will create a less effective "pharmaceutical" method with a limited range of products.
""The compassionate access available to a very limited number of pediatric epilepsy patients, 30 in this state, which has cost taxpayers $6 million, is only supplying a single-molecule product," she said.
"(It) has had limited success compared with full plant extracts, which include the full spectrum of cannabinoids."
Ms Carter and Dr Alex Wodak are due to speak on the issue at a forum in Brisbane on Thursday evening.

At one point after the powerful quake on Thursday, some 2.95 million homes in Hokkaido were without electricity as the whole prefecture suffered a power outage.
Suga said that while power was restored in most of the areas, some 20,000 households were still without electricity, and he urged homes and offices already with power to cut usage by about 10 percent.
According to public broadcaster NHK, as of 6:00 am local time Saturday, some 30,000 households across Hokkaido were still without water supply.
As of 11:00 am local time, some 12,000 people were still taking refuge in more than 430 emergency evacuation shelters across the prefecture, said the public broadcaster.

Food security is a major concern for vulnerable communities in Victoria, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this complex issue for many people due to a range of reasons, not limited to changes in employment, disruptions to the food supply, increased prices of fresh produce and restrictions on movement.
One in four Victorian families were left to rely on unhealthy food due to home budget pressures during the first coronavirus lockdown.
In April 2020, VicHealth established the Food Systems and Food Security COVID-19 Working Group to understand and coordinate collective efforts to improve access and availability to healthy food for all Victorians. The Working Group consists of a diverse group of stakeholders from a range of sectors, including state and local government, community health, food relief, social enterprise, research and academia and other food organisations and networks.
Since its establishment, this platform has enabled:
- new collaborations within and across sectors to address emerging issues
- sharing of expertise and resources
- exploration of the opportunities to strengthen our food system and fix the cracks through a news article and live, interactive event as part of VicHealth’s Life and Health Re-imagined series
- new connections between organisations working across the food system
- joint advocacy letters to Minister for Agriculture regarding investing in Victoria’s regional food system and farmers
- the development of a shared vision for a healthy, sustainable, equitable and resilient food system in Victoria

San Jose Earthquakes 2014 adidas Home and Away Jersey
Major League Soccer club San Jose Earthquakes unveiled their 2014 adidas home and away jerseys (both now available at World Soccer Shop) along with a new logo on Thursday night. The new Quakes kit and logo were launched at the San Pedro Square Market in Downtown San Jose via a projection show followed by the debut of the team’s new anthem “Never Say Die”.
According to the club: “San Jose’s primary jersey remains blue, with black sleeves to match black shorts. The secondary kit, however, now harkens back to the original Quakes franchise, with an all-red look.
This will be the first time a San Jose club wears a predominantly red jersey since the Quakes’ first incarnation did so in the North American Soccer League (1974-84) and Western Soccer Alliance (1985-88).
…the club won’t have a third jersey for 2014, and that the red will be used sometimes at home as San Jose look to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the inaugural Quakes side.
The red jerseys do feature one modern twist. The club’s “Goonies” persona, born during San Jose’s run to the 2012 Supporters’ Shield, has been immortalized by the inclusion of “#NEVERSAYDIE” along the back of the neckline.”

Travel tips for vaccinated seniors
April 19, 2021
Many seniors are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and are looking forward to making travel plans. We spoke with Dr. Shad Marvasti of the UArizona College of Medicine, to get his ideas on safe travel for seniors.
Host Ted Simons began the conversation by asking Dr. Marvasti what seniors need to know about traveling.
He responded, “I think it’s great that people who are fully vaccinated and I think seniors in particular, it’s a great opportunity to reconnect with family and friends because you know loneliness is actually a big deal and particularly in seniors who are more susceptible because of retirement, decreased mobility due to chronic conditions and less friends over time and loneliness really can increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke and I think that it can be as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being obese. So given the pandemic, I think we’ve been seeing a lot more loneliness and isolation in seniors who have really suffered a great deal and so I do think that the vaccine is a light at the end of the tunnel for them and I think it is important for them to really look at traveling and the CDC has some great guidelines in terms of this. You don’t need to quarantine, you don’t need to test before and after, you do need to wear a mask – I recommend wearing at least a KN-95 or N-95 with a face shield when you’re at the airport or on the plane and keep it on as much as possible – and then when you’re there visiting your grandchildren, relatives, children, all the above try to limit the number of folks you’re seeing and hopefully the majority or at least the adults are fully vaccinated, especially if you have a chronic condition because you’re still at risk. Even if the risk is much lower, it’s still something to consider.”


McCarthy Impressed After Packers Rally to Beat Jets
After the Packers rallied from an early 21-3 deficit to beat the Jets yesterday, team Head Coach Mike McCarthy was impressed by the team's staying focused.
"It's a game of adversity," McCarthy told ESPN Wisconsin following the W. "It's a game of momentum swings. It's a game of big plays. We were in a spot, but our players stayed the course."
Yes they did. Though it wasn't an ideal victory by any means for the Pack, it was definitely a good showing of patience, as most clubs wouldn't turn things around in that kind of situation much less eventually win.

Corfu is an island particularly suitable for holidays all round the year.
The winter is mild with relatively high temperatures (5-14c) and sufficient sunlight (approx. 4,5 hours daily).
Spring is impressive and offers the visitor the privilege to enjoy the orgy of vegetation and colours. Easter is a magnificent celebration with lots of events that make Corfu famous all over Greece.
Summer is the most popular season; Corfu disposes of picturesque beaches and its crystal clear waters invite the visitors to swim, snorkel and dive and forget all about work and trouble.
Autumn is the season of vintage - the period the Island gets the smell of grapes. It is the best time of the year to get to know the island's daily life, people and nature.

At Wednesday’s Government Operations Hearing on rent stabilization, Council President Flynn proposed an affordable housing tax exemption for property owners that charge below market rate rent in the City of Boston. Currently, the City of Boston has a number of tax exemptions for homeowners who own and occupy their property. Under Council President Flynn’s proposal, there would be a $6,000 tax exemption for property owners willing to charge $500 a month below market rate rents.
At the hearing, Council President Flynn discussed the urgent need to increase the city’s housing stock as well as affordable units through the city’s Inclusionary Development Policy program while emphasizing that these actions all take considerable time in terms of proposals, community process, approvals, permits, construction, lotteries and occupancy.
However, a Rent Reduction Act featuring an affordable housing tax exemption that incentivizes reducing rents by $500 per month below market rate would provide units across the city to come online much more quickly in the next fiscal year, and before the city’s heaviest turnover on September 1st.
To offset the tax exemption, money from the Community Preservation Fund, the Neighborhood Trust and Linkage money from future projects, as well as federal funds can be utilized. The property owner would be required to register the unit with the city and provide proof of reduced rent to receive the property tax credit. This proposal aims to incentivize Boston’s current property owners to be stakeholders by charging below market rents, and provide an opportunity for affordable units to come on-line more quickly. Council President Flynn plans on submitting this proposal as an amendment to the home rule petition.
“Our housing crisis calls for creative and bold solutions to get as many affordable units online as quickly as possible, “said Council President Flynn. ”An affordable housing tax exemption could provide relief for working families in every neighborhood of the city by the next fiscal year, reward property owners who have been good neighbors in quietly providing below market rents for years to help families stay in the city, and encourage other housing providers to join them in being a good neighbor.”
For more information, please contact Council President Flynn’s office at 617-635-3203 and [email protected].

The financial disaster that is the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project has many authors. The most important may be the Stephen Harper government.
Had it not effectively loaned the federal balance sheet to Newfoundland and Labrador, allowing the province to finance a massive megaproject that it could not afford, the taxpayers of Canada would not be on the hook for this multibillion-dollar fiasco.
But first, a little history.
In the late 1960s, construction began on a massive hydro project on Labrador’s Churchill River. To pay for it, Newfoundland signed a long-term power contract with Quebec, at prices that turned out to be brutally lopsided in the latter’s favour. Quebec has cashed in for decades.
Muskrat Falls was supposed to be Newfoundland’s shot at a do-over. The project, farther down the Churchill River, was unveiled in 2010 at a cost of $6.2-billion. It was championed by Progressive Conservative premier Danny Williams. A new transmission line would send electricity to Newfoundland, with an undersea cable carrying excess power to Nova Scotia. The sales pitch made it sound like a can’t-miss proposition.
A decade later, Muskrat Falls has become a kind of infrastructure how-not-to guide. It is billions of dollars over budget, and it will take years to pay the bill – starting with the federal government’s agreement this week to bail out the province. Precise details, and costs, are still to come.
At inception, oversight of Muskrat Falls was given to Nalcor, the Crown corporation Newfoundland created to manage the province’s energy assets. Nalcor had no experience with such a project.
In mid-2011, a federal-provincial environmental review panel recommended that, before giving Muskrat Falls the green light, St. John’s formally review its financial outlook. The panel also called for an independent analysis of alternatives. St. John’s and Ottawa rejected both ideas in early 2012. Soon after, Newfoundland’s Public Utilities Board said it was unable to endorse the project. The board lacked the time and information to decide whether Muskrat Falls was the best option, or if it was needed at all.
The then-Progressive Conservative government in St. John’s wanted to push ahead, but the financial burden of Muskrat Falls was too big for the province. It needed Ottawa’s fiscal heft – and the lower borrowing costs to be had by taking advantage of Ottawa’s AAA credit rating.
Mr. Harper, in the 2011 election, promised Newfoundland his support. In late 2012, Ottawa provided a $5-billion loan guarantee. A few weeks later, Muskrat Falls officially moved ahead – even as predicted costs had already jumped to $7.7-billion.
By 2016, costs had surged to $11.4-billion. The Trudeau government threw some more good money after bad, upping the federal loan guarantee by another $2.9-billion.
A new boss at Nalcor, installed by the new Liberal provincial government, called Muskrat Falls a “boondoggle” that was too big for Newfoundland’s needs. “It was a gamble. And it has gone against us.”
Today, the Muskrat Falls price tag stands at $12.7-billion. It is nearly complete, and power should be flowing within a year. The result of a public inquiry into the financial disaster arrives in March.
Newfoundland could not afford Muskrat Falls in good times. These days, Newfoundland has the only double-digit unemployment rate among the provinces, and there’s a sizable deficit in its budget, a budget that is more reliant on oil than even Alberta’s. Newfoundland also has the lowest credit rating among Canadian provinces.
If Newfoundland electricity users had to pay for the full cost of Muskrat Falls – and to be clear, that’s how a normal electricity market works – hydro rates would have to double next year. Ottawa’s deal with St. John’s to restructure the project’s debt will effectively subsidize provincial power costs, though to what degree, and for how long, remains to be revealed.
Canadian taxpayers should never have been on the hook for the many mistakes at Muskrat Falls. This should have been a purely provincial project. Instead, Ottawa essentially wrote the province a blank cheque, assuming that it would never need to be cashed. Without that federal “help," this project might never have gone forward. Billions of dollars would have been saved.

BEAVER CREEK’S VILAR CENTER SHOWCASES WORLD-CLASS DANCE AND MORE.
Parsons brings its joyous brand of modern dance to the Vilar Performing Arts Center. PHOTO BY ANDREW ECCLES
THE VILAR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (vilarpac.org), located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, brings to this mountain town a variety of acclaimed artistic performances that would rival the lineup of any big city venue. On Feb. 16, Parsons Dance, an internationally renowned contemporary American dance company, will bring its trademark exuberance and athleticism to the stage. The ensemble fuses innovative modern dance with the precision of a classical company. In 2015, New York Times dance critic Siobhan Burke described Parsons Dance as “a ‘dance your heart out’ (at all times, no excuses) kind of enterprise.”
The performance will feature pieces by Artistic Director David Parsons, including The Road, with iconic Cat Stevens songs like “Peace Train” and “Trouble” as a backdrop. “With the added musical component, The Road will leave audiences with a new impression of the company and will create a unique experience for dance and music lovers alike,” says Owen Hutchinson, Vilar Performing Arts Center executive director.
When the Vilar Center opened in Beaver Creek in 1998 with its 530-seat theater, few mountain resort communities in the world had their own performing arts facilities. For more than two decades, the venue has been presenting a diverse range of cultural events, including Broadway musicals, concerts, films and family shows. Also on the slate for this winter: The Peking Acrobats featuring the Shanghai Circus (Feb. 8), pianist Khatia Buniatishvili (Jan. 17) and the American rock band Styx (Feb. 24).

Michigan LCV statement on Line 5 hearing with Canadian officials
LANSING – The Michigan League of Conservation Voters today issued the following statement after the Senate Committee on Natural Resources heard testimony from Canadian officials on the future of the Line 5 pipeline running under the Straits of Mackinac. The damaged Line 5 Pipeline represents the single greatest threat to the Great Lakes and drinking water for the people of Michigan.
“Today’s hearing is yet another attempt by Enbridge and Canadian officials to create false narratives around Line 5 and continue its arrangement where Michigan assumes all of the risk for the damaged, 68-year-old Line 5 pipeline in our Great Lakes,” said Bentley Johnson, senior partnerships manager at the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. “Canada continues to reject pipeline proposals due to environmental risks in their own country, so they are content with taking a shortcut through Michigan, putting our Great Lakes and drinking water at risk. Line 5 is years beyond its intended lifespan and is a ticking time bomb in our Great Lakes. It must be shut down.”
The one-sided hearing comes after months of desperate attempts by Enbridge Energy to fight Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decision to revoke the easement agreement between the company and the state of Michigan. The aging and damaged pipeline is set to be shut down in May 2021.

To the Editor:
Re "The Ghosts of Seydou Keïta" [Jan. 22]:
Michael Rips quotes me in his article on the Malian photographer Seydou Keïta, but I would like to spell out at least two exceptions to the sweeping statement that "When it comes to photography, authenticity is artificial."
Authenticity is a legitimate consideration when a photographic print is presented as an actual historical artifact. It is for this reason that museums tend to collect prints that are vintage, rather than contemporary.
Authenticity, in the sense of being faithful to the technical choices of the original photographer, is also a legitimate concern when those choices were based on creative goals as opposed to commercial expediency.

This an article I edited and for which I did some research (discovering articles, not in the lab). I believe there are two important pieces here, one is the effects of an antibody on bone remodeling that captures and contains metastasized prostate cancer. Most prostate cancers that become lethal become lethal through metastasis. If we can stop the metastasis even after it has occurred, we can save a lot of lives. This discovery points toward that possibility.
The other innovation here is the ability to image the bone lesions of cancer in the same animal over time (interventional radiologist Dr. Gerald Pond made this happen). Traditionally, when an animal was imaged at various stages of the trial, it was killed. So the imaging at each stage was a different animal, even though these subjects are genetically cloned, there are still individual differences. By imaging the same animal(s) over the length of the trial, we get a better and more coherent narrative of the anitbody's action in each subject.
Here is the abstract for the article, which is behind a paywall, unfortunately.
Landowski, TH, Gard, J, Pond, E, Pond, GD, Nagle, RB, Geffre, CP, and Cress, AE. (2014, Apr 16). Targeting Integrin A6 stimulates curative-type bone metastasis lesions in a xenograft model. Molecular Cancer Therapeutics; Published OnlineFirst: doi:10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-13-0962

Laminin binding integrin receptors are key mediators of epithelial cell migration and tumor metastasis. Recent studies have demonstrated a role for the alpha 6 integrin (ITGA6/CD49f) in maintaining stem cell compartments within normal bone marrow and in residency of tumors metastatic to bone. In this study, we tested a function-blocking antibody specific for ITGA6, called J8H, to determine if pre-existing cancer lesions in bone could be slowed and/or animal survival improved. Human prostate tumors were established by intracardiac injection into male severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice and treatment with J8H antibody was initiated after one week. Tumor progression was monitored by micro computed tomography (CT) imaging of skeletal lesions. Animals that received weekly injections of the anti-ITGA6 antibody showed radiographic progression in only 40% of osseous tumors (femur or tibia), compared to control animals, where 80% of the lesions (femur or tibia) showed progression at 5 weeks. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated a significant survival advantage for J8H-treated animals. Unexpectedly, CT image analysis revealed an increased proportion of bone lesions displaying a sclerotic rim of new bone formation, encapsulating the arrested lytic lesions in animals that received the anti-ITGA6 antibody treatment. Histopathology of the sclerotic lesions demonstrated well-circumscribed tumor within bone, surrounded by fibrosis. These data suggest that systemic targeting of the ITGA6-dependent function of established tumors in bone may offer a non-cytotoxic approach to arrest the osteolytic progression of metastatic prostate cancer, thereby providing a new therapeutic strategy for advanced disease.

Atlanta police have debunked a report of a kidnapping in southeast Atlanta after a tipster said she saw a woman being forced into a white van.
As it turns out, the vehicle was being used as a transport for disabled adults and the woman was receiving assistance, Atlanta police said Friday in a news release. The police department held a news conference Thursday to ask the public for their help to crack the case.
Investigators do not begrudge the tipster calling police and describing what she saw, police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said.
“We encourage the public to call and report suspicious behavior and we fully understand some incidents will turn out not (to) be criminal,” Grant said in a statement. “Had this been a kidnapping, that early information would have been critical in our investigation.”
The report was made about 8 a.m. Thursday from a discount strip mall in the 1300 block of Moreland Avenue. A woman told police she saw two men putting a woman into a white van after she got out of her own vehicle, a gray Infiniti sedan. She thought it was odd anyone was at the shopping center that early, when most of the businesses are closed and there is not much traffic, according to police.
It appeared the woman was struggling as she was “forced” into the van through a side door, the tipster told investigators. One of the men drove away in the white van, and the other got behind the wheel of the woman’s Infiniti and left.
At the news conference Thursday, homicide investigator Lt. Pete Malecki said surveillance video did not suggest there was a physical struggle. Investigators were trying to determine if it was a kidnapping or “some type of horseplay situation,” he said.
Police have since confirmed the woman is safe and she was not harmed. On Friday morning, investigators went to the strip mall and “observed what the witness described, which was the daily routine of the female being assisted into a vehicle for disabled persons,” Grant said.
“We appreciate everyone's assistance in this case and are pleased to learn the female was not a victim of a crime,” he said.
