DEVELOPING: Today, the Vikings ownership and the Minnesota United FC ownership will take their best shot at winning the rights to an MLS franchise for the MSP region. While the Wilf’s have the rights to an MLS franchise in the new Vikings Stadium, the Minnesota United group includes former United Health CEO Bill McGuire, Timberwolves/Star Tribune owner Glen Taylor and Twins owner Jim Pohlad, definitely has their eyes on constructing a soccer-only stadium in Minneapolis. One of the secret weapons in New York today is Hennepin County Board Chair Mike Opat, on behalf of the Minnesota United FC group. Opat will not speak but will be present for the pitch. Opat, was the architect of the Twins stadium deal, and while Minneapolis is the primary partner on the Vikings stadium, Hennepin County may have more financial wherewithal to be a partner for a soccer-only stadium. Hennepin County was the Twins partner on Target Field and Opat’s presence in New York signals that Hennepin County is very interested in stepping up on a new stadium. The political dynamics could pit the City versus the County, but ultimately if McGuire’s group wins – then it will be Hennepin County likely driving the agenda and not the Vikings or the City of Minneapolis for the soccer stadium near Target Field.



DEFICIT: via Amy Forliti at AP, VERBATIM: “The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis reported a $9.1 million operating deficit for fiscal year 2014 and reiterated Thursday that it is considering filing for bankruptcy as its financial condition has become more uncertain due to the growing potential for more lawsuits by victims of clergy sexual abuse. The archdiocese released its financial information in its newspaper, The Catholic Spirit, more than a week after it announced it was cutting its budget by 20 percent and making unspecified staff cuts. Archbishop John Nienstedt called the situation "disheartening," but assured the faithful that the finances won't directly affect parishes or other Catholic institutions. The archdiocese said the operating deficit can be partly attributed to $4.1 million spent to address allegations of clergy sexual abuse since May 2013, when a three-year window opened up for abuse victims to file claims that were otherwise barred under the statute of limitations.” READ: http://apne.ws/1vt8nGZ

ECMC Group, a nonprofit corporation with a long-standing mission of helping students succeed, intends to transform the culture and education model at the acquired schools, including lowering tuition and introducing strict accountability standards for program completion and job placement rates. Had this agreement not been reached, Corinthian would have been forced to close the schools upon the termination of its temporary operating agreement with federal authorities.

The sale would allow more than 39,000 students to complete their educational programs without interruption and creates the largest nonprofit career college system in America.” READ: http://bit.ly/1x4mEok



INFLATION: via Michelle Jamrisko at Bloomberg, VERBATIM: “Prices in the U.S. excluding fuel and food increased more than forecast in October as a drop in energy costs failed to filter through to other goods and services. The so-called core measure of the consumer-price index climbed 0.2 percent, the most in five months, after rising 0.1 percent in September, a Labor Department report showed today in Washington. The total cost of living was little changed last month, reflecting cheaper gasoline. The median forecast of 84 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.1 percent drop. Rising costs for rents, airline fares, hotel rooms and furniture show the slowing in overseas growth that is helping restrain fuel prices and overall inflation isn’t rippling through the economy. That bears out forecasts by Federal Reserve policy makers that cooling price pressures will prove temporary as the U.S. economy strengthens.” READ: http://bloom.bg/1ytqo56

JOBS2: via Sarah McKenzie at Southwest Journal, VERBATIM: “The economic development group Greater MSP has launched a new campaign to recruit and retain top talent as a skilled workforce shortage looms on the horizon for the Twin Cities region. The region has about 55,000 job openings and about 100,000 people looking for work in the state, said Greater MSP CEO Michael Langley. The challenge, however, is that the people looking for work don’t have the skills needed for those spots… Even if every child born here stays in the Twin Cities and has the skills needed for a job opening, the region will still need to recruit additional talented workers to remain competitive, he said. Greater MSP discussed its strategy for attracting top talent Monday night at its annual meeting at the University of Minnesota. EcoLab CEO Doug Baker and Bert Colianni, CEO of Marquette Companies, are the co-chairs of the economic development group’s talent task force. The focus will be centered on millennials/young professionals — the 20- to 40-year-old workers that will be in most demand over the next decade, Langley said.” READ: http://bit.ly/1r0RWu1

An additional $1.5 billion will be spent on expansion—about $500 million in the Northern region, particularly on its main line between Minot, N.D., and Chicago.” READ: http://on.wsj.com/1t86U2i

FOOD: via news release, VERBATIM: “Cargill joined food and agriculture leaders yesterday afternoon in a conversation about how diverse stakeholders can work together to increase access to affordable and nutritious food for the world’s expected nine billion people by 2050. Convened by food and agriculture policy think tank AGree, the session “A Better Path from Farm to Fork: Policy Solutions for the Future of Food” featured Cargill Executive Chairman Greg Page and fellow panelists Betti Wiggins, School Nutrition Services at Detroit Public Schools; Anim Steel, Real Food Generation; and Pam Johnson, National Corn Growers Association… “At Cargill, we are engaged every day, all over the world, in the workings of the global food system and trying to better understand them,” said Page. “It’s a system that is complicated in some ways, simple in others, but definitely unforgiving. If we don’t make the right policy decisions, the unforgiving elements will come back to hurt us.” With respect to policies that will help the world become more food secure, Cargill believes the most promising solutions will be built around several core principles. These include honoring comparative advantage; enabling trust-based free trade; supporting commercial smallholder farms; embracing sound science; preserving and enhancing the resilience of farmers and their adaptive capacity; and realizing the food production potential of Africa.” READ: http://bit.ly/1uWq5Am

HOUSE: via Tim Pugmire at MPR, VERBATIM: “When the Legislative session gets underway in January, the Minnesota House will have 26 new members, including 21 Republicans who will be taking their seats for the first time… Eleven of those Republicans are receiving a lot of attention given that they knocked off incumbent Democrats to flip control of the House to the GOP, shifting the balance of power at the state Capitol, where Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton can look to a Senate controlled by his party… Several weeks before they take their seats, they've made it clear that they intend to push the House in a more conservative direction, one that focuses more on rural Minnesota… The incoming cast of Republican lawmakers includes two legislators who aren't new to the job. Dave Hancock of Bemidji, who defeated DFLer Roger Erickson, is returning after a two-year absence.

Although Uber has since walked back these remarks, Sen. Franken said that the reported statements raise serious concerns about Uber’s privacy policies… Sen. Franken pressed the CEO of Uber to explain what steps the company has taken to ensure that its privacy policies are adequately communicated and enforced. Sen. Franken also asked the company to explain how widely it uses its so-called “God View,” which reportedly allows Uber’s corporate employees to track riders’ locations.” LETTER: http://1.usa.gov/1xsIYvT

CABARET: via Nichols Kaster, PLLP, VERBATIM: “On November 14, 2014, a certified class of over 2,000 exotic dancers who worked at Rick’s Cabaret in New York City won summary judgment on damages of approximately $10.8 million dollars. The decision came over five years into the litigation, after Plaintiffs had prevailed on class certification and summary judgment on their being misclassified as independent contractors. In a fifty-plus page ruling, Federal District Court Judge Paul A. Engelmayer found that no reasonable jury could conclude the class was owed anything less than $10.8 million, and scheduled trial to determine whether they were owed an additional amount of at least $8 million, plus liquidated damages. The Order stated that a trial date will be set “shortly.” The Court also denied Rick’s request to decertify the class, denied Rick’s request to exclude Plaintiffs’ economic expert and found that Rick’s was not entitled to any offset for amounts the dancers received from customers. According to the Court’s opinion, Plaintiffs sought a total amount in excess of $18 million, and will seek an even higher total amount at trial. “We are very pleased with the Court’s well-reasoned and thorough decision, and are confident that we will prevail at trial and secure an even greater monetary judgment,” stated Plaintiffs’ attorney Anna P. Prakash. “The Court’s decision reflects that exotic dancers are entitled to the same legal protections as other employees, and is a resounding victory for a group whose voices are all too often ignored.” Plaintiffs are represented by E. Michelle Drake, Steven Andrew Smith and Anna P. Prakash. For more information on this case please visit www.nka.com. The case is entitled, Sabrina Hart, et.al. v. Rick’s Cabaret International, et.al.., No.: 09-cv-03043-PAE-RLE (Southern District of New York).” READ: http://bit.ly/1EWqu7f

eDISCOVERY: via Business Wire, VERBATIM: “The adoption of predictive coding, the continued proliferation of data on personal devices and cybersecurity concerns were among the biggest trends impacting the ediscovery industry in 2014, according to a year-end survey from leading ediscovery products and services provider [Eden Prairie-based] Kroll Ontrack. The trends underscore how Big Data is driving the evolution of the practice of law… Forty percent of the 550 law firm and corporate ediscovery professionals surveyed reported using predictive coding technology on at least one matter in 2014, showing an increased willingness to rely on this technology to increase efficiency and reduce costs. The overall acceptance of predictive coding was higher among law firms, with 47 percent reporting use compared to 35 percent of corporations. The use cases for predictive coding also expanded in 2014. While 73 percent noted using it for discovery productions, 47 percent cited also using it for early case assessment and 31 percent used it for pre-litigation investigations.” READ: http://bit.ly/1qlDO40 (SPONSORED: Larson Security)



PATENTS: via Patrick Arenz, and Sharon Roberg-Perez of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P., VERBATIM: “A recent decline in patent litigation has been attributed to the evolving patent eligibility standard, as well as to an increase in post-grant review proceedings at the Patent Office, now reported to be “the second-biggest forum for patent disputes in the country.”1 If this foreshadows the impending demise of the U.S. patent system, someone forgot to tell research universities. Universities have steadily increased patenting and licensing their new technologies.2 Over 800 new companies were created in 2013 as a result of technology transfer, representing a 16% increase over 2012. And the pipeline in no way looks to be drying up—over 25,000 new patent applications were filed last year by universities, who, collectively, were issued over 5,700 new patents.3 What is being patented? Not surprisingly, many universities are actively protecting their innovations in biotechnology, including the University of Texas.4 Looking down the road, as all patent holders do, universities undoubtedly consider the prospect of litigating their patents. Statistically, infringement suits brought by universities tend to be far more successful than suits brought by other entities that do not practice their own inventions.5 But whether or not a university desires to be part of an enforcement suit will vary, so care must be taken to draft license agreements that reflect the patent holder’s desires.” READ: http://bit.ly/14BZgrm
