  • Mulching Lawn Mowers - Better than sliced bread

    Three weeks ago I purchased a new Troy-Built lawn mower with mulching capabilities. My old lawn mower was still in good condition, but it wasn't designed to mulch the grass. I could either bag the grass clippings every time I cut the grass, or I could leave big clumps of grass on my lawn. I decided...

  • Managing Effective IPR Law Enforcement

    Three years ago, the Bush Administration introduced a new intellectual property rights initiative called Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP) and named a Coordinator for the program reporting the Secretary of Commerce. Both the private and public sector generally agree that the STOP program has...

  • Correcting the Chamber on Certification

    Every once in a while I get to spoil a party – which should be a part of every lobbyist’s job description. Just when it seems that everyone at some orchestrated event is fully in agreement, someone needs to be the one who ruins the good karma and says “But…” And so it was a few days ago at a grand 200...

  • The Greens have another arrow in their quiver

  • A Modest Proposal

    This weekend marks the start of the summer driving season (although one could be forgiven for not noticing, given recent weather conditions).

  • Putting Substance Over Form in the Green Movement

    "Depending on people to make a hard choice every day -- don't turn on the lights so much -- is a less-promising solution than getting people to make a hard choice once, [for example, paying more for a high-efficiency bulb] and thereafter having the 'save energy' decision be automatic...

  • DICOM Turns 25 (Or, is it 15?)

    Of course, if you don’t know what DICOM is, you probably don’t care whether it turned 25 or 15 – unless you’ve had or might need a CT scan, an electrocardiogram, an MRI, some radiation therapy, an X-ray, or an ultrasound exam. DICOM, which stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is...

    I must admit to not having known that the U.S. Government officially salutes such a thing, ironically first proclaimed by FDR in 1933 during the depths of Depression-era mangled international commerce.
