The"Great Leap Forward" was an economiccampaign conceived by Mao Zedong totransform China's vast population from anagrarian economy to a modern <strong>com</strong>munistsociety through the process ofindustrialization and collectivization. Inreality, it led to a famine resulting in thedeath of as many as fifty-five millionpeople. But while millions were starving todeath, China's grain stores remained full.Using previously unheard testimony bysurvivors, rare archival footage, secretdocuments, and interviews with theleading historians on this catastrophe,Mao's Great Famine provides, for the firsttime, an insight into the insanity of thisdisastrous program. Today the ChineseCommunist Party whitewashes thecatastrophe calling it "three years ofnatural disasters."

Board of directors need toaddress the growing tension betweenobligations to fulfill cyber security legalrequirements and <strong>com</strong>panies efforts totake advantage of technologies whichincrease cyber vulnerabilities such asmobile <strong>com</strong>puting devices, flash drives,smartphones, social networks, and cloud<strong>com</strong>puting.This audio CD-ROM considers whether<strong>com</strong>panies are overlooking this issue byadopting policies that appear to treat thebenefits of new technologies as immediateand substantial, the <strong>com</strong>promises to cybersecurity as speculative, and the damagefrom a security breach as remote andcontainable. It also addresses the cybersecurity regulations that in-house andoutside counsel may soon be obligated to<strong>com</strong>ply with as a result of decisions a<strong>com</strong>pany has made concerning potentiallyvulnerable technologies. The programraises the issue of whether the emergingcyber security regulations may beencouraging a culture of <strong>com</strong>pliance andpaper exercises rather than security thatprotects critical assets and finds andcorrects cyber vulnerabilities before theycan be exploited. Lastly, it discussesrecent court decisions that suggest a shiftin judicial views of cyber security and agrowing willingness by judges to prevententerprises from shifting the risks ofsecurity deficiencies to their customers.Item no. : AD11200392Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00BUYING DISTRESSED DEBTIN TURBULENT TIMESIn these turbulent times, lenders arecleaning up their debt portfolios by sellingoff their non-performing andnon-conforming loans.Sales of distressed loans present uniquebuying opportunities and challenges.This program will highlight the key issuesfacing buyers of distressed debt andprovide insight into current trends,including:________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.<strong>com</strong> Websites: http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong> & http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong>.hkHow to negotiate with debt sellers andwhat are the key motivating factors foreach party.How to conduct due diligence of thelender's loan and collateraldocumentation, and what do youneed to do outside of the loandocuments.

Board of directors need toaddress the growing tension betweenobligations to fulfill cyber security legalrequirements and <strong>com</strong>panies efforts totake advantage of technologies whichincrease cyber vulnerabilities such asmobile <strong>com</strong>puting devices, flash drives,smartphones, social networks, and cloud<strong>com</strong>puting.This audio CD-ROM considers whether<strong>com</strong>panies are overlooking this issue byadopting policies that appear to treat thebenefits of new technologies as immediateand substantial, the <strong>com</strong>promises to cybersecurity as speculative, and the damagefrom a security breach as remote andcontainable. It also addresses the cybersecurity regulations that in-house andoutside counsel may soon be obligated to<strong>com</strong>ply with as a result of decisions a<strong>com</strong>pany has made concerning potentiallyvulnerable technologies. The programraises the issue of whether the emergingcyber security regulations may beencouraging a culture of <strong>com</strong>pliance andpaper exercises rather than security thatprotects critical assets and finds andcorrects cyber vulnerabilities before theycan be exploited. Lastly, it discussesrecent court decisions that suggest a shiftin judicial views of cyber security and agrowing willingness by judges to prevententerprises from shifting the risks ofsecurity deficiencies to their customers.Item no. : AD11200392Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00BUSINESS AND VALUATIONISSUES THAT WILLPREVENT YOUR CLIENTS'BUY-SELL AGREEMENTSFROM WORKINGBy Z.

Board of directors need toaddress the growing tension betweenobligations to fulfill cyber security legalrequirements and <strong>com</strong>panies efforts totake advantage of technologies whichincrease cyber vulnerabilities such asmobile <strong>com</strong>puting devices, flash drives,smartphones, social networks, and cloud<strong>com</strong>puting.This audio CD-ROM considers whether<strong>com</strong>panies are overlooking this issue byadopting policies that appear to treat thebenefits of new technologies as immediateand substantial, the <strong>com</strong>promises to cybersecurity as speculative, and the damagefrom a security breach as remote andcontainable.

protects critical assets and finds andcorrects cyber vulnerabilities before theycan be exploited.

Andrew Boose, M.Graham Coleman Esq.The right of an author, or specified heirs ofthe author, to terminate a grant of aninterest under copyright was first codifiedin the United States Copyright Act of 1976.Since then, countless authors and heirs ofdeceased authors have taken advantageof the termination provisions and theability of an author to "recapture" rightspreviously assigned in perpetuity hasresulted in shifting ownership interests in anumber of industries.However, the termination provisions arehighly technical and if not implementedcorrectly, can jeopardize the author'sability to reclaim his or her rights.While practice in the area of copyrighttermination is concentrated in a relativelysmall section of the bar, the issuessurrounding terminations of transfers hasgenerated significant public attention inrecent months. This is due to the fact thatthe first available effective date forterminations of transfers made by theauthor on or after January 1, 1978 isJanuary 1, 2013less than 2 years away.These so-called "Section 203Terminations" will potentially impactscores of contemporary works. It is nowmore important than ever to be familiarwith the termination provisions of U.S.copyright law and how they may affectyour clients' interests.This program provides guidance topractitioners representing both authors'interests and the interests of clients whoare the assignees of authors' rights undercopyright.Item no. : VL11200501Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 89 minutesCopyright : 2011Price : USD 150.00INSURANCE RISKALLOCATION INENTERTAINMENT ANDSPORTS LAW: HOT TOPICSAND OVERLOOKED ISSUESBy M.

Yet with the federalapplicable exclusion amount now at $5million, the number of estates subject tofederal estate tax will decreasesubstantially. With the potential decreasein resources needed to audit Forms 706(assuming the current regime stays intactbeyond <strong>2012</strong>) it seems likely that theInternal Revenue Service may shift itsfocus to a closer review of fiduciaryin<strong>com</strong>e tax returns. Should this occur, theneed for a deeper familiarity with thefiduciary in<strong>com</strong>e tax rules of Subchapter Jof the Internal Revenue Code willincrease.At the broadest level, Subchapter Jprovides for the allocation of in<strong>com</strong>e anddeductions between the trust and thebeneficiaries. In this sense, the trust canbe both a taxpayer and a conduit throughwhich in<strong>com</strong>e and deductions flow out tothe beneficiaries. This allocation and therole of the trustee in this allocation areconditioned by two fundamental concepts- fiduciary accounting in<strong>com</strong>e ("FAI") anddistributable net in<strong>com</strong>e ("DNI") - thatultimately determine the tax accountingin<strong>com</strong>e ("TAI") for the trust and thebeneficiaries. As most practitioners areaware, these three concepts arefundamental to the mechanics ofSubchapter J. However, they are far more<strong>com</strong>plex than some may recognize andoften manifest themselves on the Form1041.This program will offer a look at the"not-so-basic" basics.Item no. : NM11200462Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00FINAL ACO REGULATIONS,THE - IS PARTICIPATIONWORTH A SECOND LOOK?PART 2: ASSIGNMENT OFOBENEFICIARIES, RISK,STRUCTURE ANDGOVERNANCE, AND TAXISSUESBy Bernadette M.

Granat, Stephanie L.Kimbro, Forrest S. Mosten, M. Sue TaliaNot your grandfather's law practice: Thepractice of law is changing, and smartpractitioners are riding the wave byexpanding into limited scoperepresentation. With limited scope, alawyer performs some, but not all, of thetasks traditionally associated with fullservice representation. Sometimes thisinvolves coaching the client toself-represent on simpler tasks, whileperforming the more technical (andprofessionally satisfying) parts of a legalmatter.Limited scope is well suited to a variety ofservices, from drafting and documentassistance, ghostwriting, to limited courtappearances. Over 40 states now haverules promoting limited scope, and now isthe time to consider adding limited scopeto the menu of services you offer yourclients. However, practitioners must alsobe aware of the ethical issues that areinvolved with limited scope representation.Specifically, Model Rule 1.2, its variationsthroughout the states, and amendedversions of Model Rule 4.2 that severalstates are implementing.Client demand is driving the engine:Increased interest in self-representation,coupled with demand for morecost-effective legal delivery models, have<strong>com</strong>e together at a time of greattechnological innovation to create aperfect opportunity for practitioners toeffectively, ethically, and profitably, expandtheir client base.Wide range of applications: Limited scopelends itself to a wide range of applications,from family law (where it started), toemployment law, consumer issues,insurance coverage, small businessassistance, and special needs advocacy,to name but a few.As Model Rule 1.2(c) tells us, apractitioner is able to limit the scope of therepresentation, but the limitation must bereasonable and the client must giveinformed consent. This program, featuringthe top national experts in the subject, willgive you everything you need to ethicallyincorporate limited scope into yourpractice while remaining within theguidelines of the Model Rules ofProfessional Responsibility.Item no. : NE11200347Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00WHO WATCHES THEWATCHERS: LEGAL ETHICSCHALLENGES IN INTERNALINVESTIGATIONSInternal investigations have be<strong>com</strong>eincreasingly <strong>com</strong>mon for businessorganizations, whether as part of a<strong>com</strong>pliance program or in response to civilor criminal litigation.

The"Great Leap Forward" was an economiccampaign conceived by Mao Zedong totransform China's vast population from anagrarian economy to a modern <strong>com</strong>munistsociety through the process ofindustrialization and collectivization. Inreality, it led to a famine resulting in thedeath of as many as fifty-five millionpeople.

It is theconceptual language of enterprise riskmanagement ("ERM"). Intellectualproperty represents perhaps the mostpotent form of "reputational risk."Especially in an information age wheremuch entity value is bound up in intangiblerights, enterprises can thrive and failbased on the fortunes -- and misfortunes --of their patents, trademarks, copyrightsand trade secrets.CEOs, CFOs, general counsel, and theiroutside IP counsel are all potential "risksilos."

KIRTSAENG V. JOHNWILEY & SONS: A POSTSUPREME COURT ORALARGUMENT REVIEWBy Scott Bain, Andrew BergerThe Supreme Court's first (and perhapsonly) copyright case of <strong>2012</strong> will beKirtsaeng v. Wiley, argued October 29,<strong>2012</strong>. The case centers on the importantand controversial interplay between theright to resell used goods under the firstsale doctrine, and the right of copyrightowners to control distribution of theirworks, including unauthorized "greymarket" importations. Kirtsaeng ran abusiness importing foreign versions oftextbooks that had been made and soldabroad, intended for foreign resale only(and marked as such), and reselling thosebooks to U.S. students. The S.D.N.Y. andSecond Circuit courts held him liable forcopyright infringement under the section602(a)(1) exclusive right to import copies,holding that the first sale doctrine does notapply to foreign-made copies becausethey are not "made under this title" as thedoctrine (section 109) requires.Two years ago, the Supreme Court split4-4 on an identical issue in Costco v.Omega, with Justice Kagan recused. Thefull court will now decide the issue, whichwill have a substantial impact on copyrightowners, retailers, and users. In thisprogram, the panelists will discuss thecase, its implications, and the oralargument. They will also provide theirviews and advice on related issues of"arbitrage," parallel importation and thefirst sale doctrine.Item no. : FA11200306Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00LEGAL ISSUES WITHAPPOINTINGFRANCHISEES,DISTRIBUTORS, ORAGENTS IN CHINABy Paul Jones, Robert A.

However, practitioners'opinions vary on what disclosure isrequired to meet written description,particularly in the field of antibodies. Therecent case Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc. v.Abbott Labs, raised the topic into thepatent limelight. Centocor won a $1.67billion damages award for infringement,but the Federal Circuit held Centocor'spatent invalid for failure to meet the writtendescription requirement, and the SupremeCourt declined certiorari.This audio CD-ROM will demonstrate arange of views on the written descriptionrequirement for antibodies. The U.S.Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)routinely grants functionally-definedantibody claims to those who discover anovel protein or epitope or some otherinteresting feature of an antibody. Somepractitioners argue that the USPTO fails toapply the written description guidelines topurely functional antibody claims, creatingan "antibody exception" to writtendescription. Others argue that disclosureof the protein or epitope to which theantibodies bind is sufficient to meet therequirement.

With limited scope, alawyer performs some, but not all, of thetasks traditionally associated with fullservice representation. Sometimes thisinvolves coaching the client toself-represent on simpler tasks, whileperforming the more technical (andprofessionally satisfying) parts of a legalmatter.Limited scope is well suited to a variety ofservices, from drafting and documentassistance, ghostwriting, to limited courtappearances. Over 40 states now haverules promoting limited scope, and now isthe time to consider adding limited scopeto the menu of services you offer yourclients. However, practitioners must alsobe aware of the ethical issues that areinvolved with limited scope representation.Specifically, Model Rule 1.2, its variationsthroughout the states, and amendedversions of Model Rule 4.2 that severalstates are implementing.Client demand is driving the engine:Increased interest in self-representation,coupled with demand for more121________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.<strong>com</strong> Websites: http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong> & http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong>.hk

However, practitioners'opinions vary on what disclosure isrequired to meet written description,particularly in the field of antibodies. Therecent case Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc. v.Abbott Labs, raised the topic into thepatent limelight. Centocor won a $1.67billion damages award for infringement,but the Federal Circuit held Centocor'spatent invalid for failure to meet the writtendescription requirement, and the SupremeCourt declined certiorari.This audio CD-ROM will demonstrate arange of views on the written descriptionrequirement for antibodies. The U.S.Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)routinely grants functionally-definedantibody claims to those who discover anovel protein or epitope or some otherinteresting feature of an antibody. Somepractitioners argue that the USPTO fails toapply the written description guidelines topurely functional antibody claims, creatingan "antibody exception" to writtendescription. Others argue that disclosureof the protein or epitope to which theantibodies bind is sufficient to meet therequirement.

Yet with the federalapplicable exclusion amount now at $5million, the number of estates subject tofederal estate tax will decreasesubstantially. With the potential decreasein resources needed to audit Forms 706(assuming the current regime stays intactbeyond <strong>2012</strong>) it seems likely that theInternal Revenue Service may shift itsfocus to a closer review of fiduciaryin<strong>com</strong>e tax returns. Should this occur, theneed for a deeper familiarity with thefiduciary in<strong>com</strong>e tax rules of Subchapter Jof the Internal Revenue Code willincrease.At the broadest level, Subchapter Jprovides for the allocation of in<strong>com</strong>e anddeductions between the trust and thebeneficiaries. In this sense, the trust canbe both a taxpayer and a conduit throughwhich in<strong>com</strong>e and deductions flow out tothe beneficiaries. This allocation and therole of the trustee in this allocation areconditioned by two fundamental concepts- fiduciary accounting in<strong>com</strong>e ("FAI") anddistributable net in<strong>com</strong>e ("DNI") - thatultimately determine the tax accountingin<strong>com</strong>e ("TAI") for the trust and thebeneficiaries. As most practitioners areaware, these three concepts arefundamental to the mechanics ofSubchapter J. However, they are far more<strong>com</strong>plex than some may recognize andoften manifest themselves on the Form1041.This program will offer a look at the"not-so-basic" basics.Item no. : NM11200462Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00FUNDAMENTALS OFTAX-EXEMPT HEALTHCAREORGANIZATIONSBy Erin Couture, Eric J.
