UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The bilateral relationship between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Japan is at its worst stage, Choe Su Hon, Deputy Foreign Minister of the DPRK said Tuesday.
In an interview held at DPRK's UN mission, Choe said that Japan is the source of instability in Asia.
The Japanese authority is challenging the international community with regard to its past crimes, he said, claiming that "the DPRK-Japan relationship is now at the worst stage."
"Japan is now playing a trick to divert the international attention elsewhere by clamoring fictitious kidnapping issue," Choe noted.
Speaking at the general debate of the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday morning, Choe severely criticized Japan for its behavior.
"In an open challenge to the denunciation and condemnation of the international community, the Japanese authorities do not hesitate to distort the history far beyond concealing the blood stained past crimes, while turning the 'self defense force' into a regular army with a mandate of preemptive strikes on other countries by changing the 'Peace Constitution' into a war constitution," he said.
"We hope that Japan will truly follow the path of friendship and peace rather than tracing its unsavory past," Choe said, adding Japan will be "futureless" unless it makes thorough liquidation of its past crimes.

United Russia eyes stable majority in parliament
MOSCOW, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The United Russia party is determined to gain a number of seats in the State Duma that would guarantee it a stable majority, party leader Boris Gryzlov told the media on Tuesday.
United Russia seeks a constitutional majority, Secretary of the United Russia General Council's presidium Vyacheslav Volodin said earlier on Tuesday.
The United Russia will seek a majority, because in that case it will be able to make laws and adopt important decisions and bear responsibility for them.
"The more votes we have, the better the results of our work," he was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying.
Talking about President Vladimir Putin's consent to join the list of United Russia candidates as number one, Volodin said that on the one hand the party would find it far more easier to campaign for itself, but on the other, it was aware of a far greater degree of responsibility for "not letting down the president."
Volodin said Putin had been the moral leader and would remain so in the future, because he implemented a national strategy.
On the possibility over 60 governors might appear on the top of the party's regional lists, Volodin said it would be the most correct move.
"Elections are a sort of vote of confidence or no confidence in the governors," he said. "A governor that has assumed such a great responsibility is bound to look into detail into what the life of people in the region is like, bound to work better."
United Russia, the largest parliamentary party in Russia, launched its election campaign on Monday. The election program has been approved and the list of candidates for the December elections in the Fifth State Duma formed at the United Russia congress on Oct. 1 and Oct.2.
This congress is the eighth since the party's founding in 2001 and the longest in its history. After the delegates have approved the election program and the list of candidates for the State Duma elections, the congress is expected to take a break for more than two months.
The congress will meet in the same makeup after the parliamentary elections in order to nominate a party's candidate for the presidential elections, which will be held in March 2008.

U.S. House requires Bush to present eventual troop withdrawal plan from Iraq
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to require President George W. Bush to present plans on eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
By a vote of 377 to 46, the House approved the bill requiring President Bush to report to Congress in 60 days, and every 90 days thereafter, on the status of its redeployment plans in Iraq.
The Democratic-led House has passed a sheaf of bills calling for a pullback from Iraq, but without the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto.
As the first compromise made on the Democrats-proposed bill concerning the war policy, Republicans said they agreed to back it up because it encourages Pentagon contingency planning already under way and does not mandate troop withdrawals.
However, Congress is still about to witness another battle with the White House when it votes on the government's request for emergency Iraq funding of 190 billion U.S. dollars.
Earlier in the day, three senior House Democrats proposed a plan to raise taxes to pay for the bill of 150 billion dollars for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008.
"If this war is important enough to fight, then it ought to be important enough to pay for," said David Obey, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee who sponsored the plan.
"By putting together this bill we hope people will stop ignoring what this war is costing American taxpayers and call the president's bluff on fiscal responsibility," he said.
The tax plan requires low- and middle-income taxpayers to add 2percent and wealthier people add a 12 to 15 percent to their tax bill, which incurred opposition from Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican congressmen.
"Just as I have opposed the war from the outset... I am opposed to a war surtax," she said.
The war in Iraq is costing the United States about 10 billion dollars a month, while Afghanistan and other missions run about 2 billion dollars a month, according to official

Master of Business Administration
MBA” redirects here. For other uses, see MBA (disambiguation).
EMBA redirects here; for the Mutation Mink Breeders Association, see American Legend Cooperative
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines.
Background
The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The first American business school, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was established in 1881, 62 years after ESCP-EAP was established in 1819 in Paris. The Tuck School of Business, part of Dartmouth College, was the first graduate school of management in the United States. Founded in 1900, it was the first institution conferring advanced degrees (masters) in the commercial sciences, the forebearer of the modern MBA. Founded in 1898, the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, the second oldest U.S. business school, was the first graduate school in 1940 to offer working professionals the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, a mainstay at most business schools today.
As the U.S. MBA model emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Europeans developed such business schools as Webster Graduate School at Regent's College, London; elsewhere colleges such as Cass Business School, London, IMD, MBA-HSG, Instituto de Empresa, INSEAD, Henley Management College, Cranfield School of Management, and Ashridge were established for management training. In 1950 the first MBA degrees were awarded outside the United States by the University of Western Ontario in Canada,[1] followed in 1951 with the degree awarded across the Atlantic by the University of Pretoria in South Africa.[2]
In 1957, INSEAD became the first European university offering the MBA degree, followed in 1964 by IESE (first two-year program in Europe), in 1967 by the Cranfield School of Management and in 1969 by the HEC School of Management (in French, the École des Hautes Études Commerciales) and the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris. In 1968, the Asian Institute of Management was founded.
The MBA degree has been adopted by universities worldwide, and all six habitable continents have universities offering MBA programs.
In Europe, the recent Bologna Accord established uniformity in three levels of higher education: Bachelor (three years), Masters (five years), and Doctorate (eight years). Students can acquire professional experience after their initial bachelor degree at any European institution and later complete their masters in any other European institution via the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System. A European masters degree in Management is therefore equivalent to the American MBA having additional scientific content; for example, a European master of science in management requires writing and defending a master's thesis.
[edit] Accreditation
Business schools or MBA programs may be accredited by external bodies which provide students and employers with an independent view of their quality, and indicate that the school's educational curriculum meets specific quality standards. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is generally regarded as being the most prestigious MBA accreditation, covering business schools worldwide.
The United States also has six regional accreditation agencies as members of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA): Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA), New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASCSC), North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).[3]
Other U.S. accreditation agencies include the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) which typically accredits smaller, private American schools, and the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).
Accreditation agencies outside the United States include the Association of MBAs (AMBA), a U.K. organization that accredits schools worldwide; the Council on Higher Education (CHE) in South Africa; the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) for mostly European and Asian schools; and the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) in Europe.
[edit] Basic types of MBA programs
Full-time MBA programs are the most common, normally lasting two years. Students enter with a reasonable amount of prior real-world work experience and take classes during weekdays like other university students.
Accelerated MBA programs are a variation of full time programs, lasting 18 months or less, involving a higher course load.
Part-time MBA programs normally hold classes on weekday evenings, after normal working hours. Part-time programs normally last three years or more. The students in these programs typically consist of working professionals, who take a light course load for a longer period of time until the graduation requirements are met.
Executive MBA (EMBA) programs developed to meet the educational needs of managers and executives, allowing students to earn an MBA or another business-related graduate degree in two years or less while working full time. Participants come from every type and size of organization – profit, nonprofit, government — representing a variety of industries. EMBA students typically have a higher level of work experience, often 10 years or more, compared to other MBA students. In response to the increasing number of EMBA programs offered, The Executive MBA Council[4] was formed in 1981 to advance executive education.
Distance learning MBA programs hold classes off-campus. These programs can be offered in a number of different formats: correspondence courses by postal mail or email, non-interactive broadcast video, pre-recorded video, live teleconference or videoconference, offline or online computer courses. Many respectable schools offer these programs; however, so do many diploma mills. Potential students should check the school's accreditation before undertaking distance learning coursework

Accreditation agencies outside the United States include the Association of MBAs (AMBA), a U.K. organization that accredits schools worldwide; the Council on Higher Education (CHE) in South Africa; the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) for mostly European and Asian schools; and the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) in Europe.
[edit] Basic types of MBA programs
Full-time MBA programs are the most common, normally lasting two years. Students enter with a reasonable amount of prior real-world work experience and take classes during weekdays like other university students.
Accelerated MBA programs are a variation of full time programs, lasting 18 months or less, involving a higher course load.
Part-time MBA programs normally hold classes on weekday evenings, after normal working hours. Part-time programs normally last three years or more. The students in these programs typically consist of working professionals, who take a light course load for a longer period of time until the graduation requirements are met.
Executive MBA (EMBA) programs developed to meet the educational needs of managers and executives, allowing students to earn an MBA or another business-related graduate degree in two years or less while working full time. Participants come from every type and size of organization – profit, nonprofit, government — representing a variety of industries. EMBA students typically have a higher level of work experience, often 10 years or more, compared to other MBA students. In response to the increasing number of EMBA programs offered, The Executive MBA Council[4] was formed in 1981 to advance executive education.
Distance learning MBA programs hold classes off-campus. These programs can be offered in a number of different formats: correspondence courses by postal mail or email, non-interactive broadcast video, pre-recorded video, live teleconference or videoconference, offline or online computer courses. Many respectable schools offer these programs; however, so do many diploma mills. Potential students should check the school's accreditation before undertaking distance learning coursework
MBA Business School
With a Best MBA degree in business from the Berufsacademie in Lorrrach, Hans-Juergen Huber had already built a successful career in the multi-media sector when he decided it was time to take an MBA or Masters in Business Administration. “I felt that I needed a Best MBA greater appreciation of strategy and organisational development if I really wanted to make significant progress up the career ladder,” he says, “MBA and I wanted to build on the knowledge I’d picked up in my first degree. I also wanted the option to be able to work overseas, to see more of the world than just Germany and if I was going to satisfy this ambition, I knew I would need to get some sort of internationally recognised business qualification. An MBA was the logical choice.” Alfred Dietel from Munich, currently studying at Manchester MBA Business School in the UK shares Hans-Juergen’s view that an international career calls for an international qualification. “I had got used to working in an international environment whilst with Siemens,” he says. “I’d spent time in the MBA USA in a business development role and I’d been a part of teams with members from right around the world. After that, the idea of being confined to the boundaries of Germany held little appeal. An MBA seemed an ideal way of developing new skills and at the same time building an MBA international network of contacts that would be invaluable in my future MBA career.” One of the international organisations, which has shown a real commitment to the of an MBA is the global healthcare company Bayer, headquartered in Leverkusen. Bayer recruits potential future MBA managers into a professional apprenticeship scheme, which encompasses sponsorship of an MBA at a school in the USA, UK, Spain or Singapore. Susann Blankenhagel from Dresden joined the scheme straight from MBA university and has now been sent by the company to study for an MBA at the Spanish business school, IE-Instituto de Empresa, which is based in Madrid. “One of the main reasons for MBA joining Bayer was because it offered the chance to work overseas,” says Susann, “so it was a real bonus to be able to MBA study for what is now recognised as the top international MBA business qualification.” Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant key words in the content or code of web pages Deceptive or manipulative content or MBA construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, For more details on these errors and how to resolve them, visit our Site Diagnostics entry.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare lung cancer of the pleura, the main causes of asbestos direct and indirect contacts. Nianqiandang many have yet to understand the dangers of asbestos, many transportation, Insulation and the mining industry through exposure to asbestos fibers, but it is not only direct contact with asbestos. Reports indicate the overalls through contact relatives also indirectly exposed to asbestos to the families of malignant pleural mesothelioma. About 80% of cases attributable to asbestos exposure in the etiology of history and the incubation period may be as long as 20 to 40 years.

Rationale of the use of immunostimulatory OncozacWhat is cancer
Rationale of the use of immunostimulatory OncozacWhat is cancer?Cancer refers to approximately 150 diseases when normal host cells undergo malignant transformation and begin to divide uncontrollably, resulting in invasion of surrounding tissues or distant spread of disease.Cancer and immune systemBeyond controversy, some degrees of immune response against cancer exist in humans. Clinical results showed that stimulation of the immune system could lead to tumor regression in some patients. The link between cancer and the immune system is further suggested by the fact that people with an impaired immune system, such as AIDS patients, are more likely to develop certain cancers. It is thus theorized that the body produces cancer cells fairly regularly, but eliminates most of them before they can spread or form a tumor. Based on this reasoning, cancer has an opportunity to develop only when the immunosurveillance fails (i.e. immunodeficiency). In other words, enhancement of host immune system may help reduce the occurrence of cancer development.ImmunodeficiencyImmunodeficiency disorders must be considered in two major categories: the primary immunodeficiency, often genetically determined, and secondary immunodeficiency states. The latter occur as complications of infections and infestations, gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition, aging, lymphoid malignancies, other cancers and many other diseases. Immunodeficiency of varying severity is also encountered as a side effect of many treatment modalities, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy for cancer. From this perspective, the primary and secondary immunodeficiencies are not rare diseases. These problems have necessitated a search for novel therapeutic agents that have the property of immunopotentiation (i.e. immunotherapy).ImmunotherapyConventionally, cancer is usually managed by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recognizing the immune system’s remarkable ability to defend the body against diseases, medical scientists have long dreamed of developing a new form of treatment for cancer—immunotherapy. The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to bolster the immune system so that it is better able to combat cancer cells. Currently, several forms of immunotherapy are being explored in research laboratories and clinical trials. Based on the studies conducted to date, the role of immunotherapy in the treatment of malignancy may be in combination with other conventional treatment modalities.

Lawsuit Hinges On Whether 2
Lawsuit Hinges On Whether 'That's So Gay' Is an Anti-Gay PutdownWhen a few classmates razzed Rebekah Rice about her Mormon upbringing with questions such as, "Do you have 10 moms?" she shot back: "That's so gay." Those three words landed the high school freshman in the principal's office and resulted in a lawsuit that raises this question: When do playground insults used every day all over America cross the line into hate speech that must be stamped out? After Rice got a warning and a notation in her file, her parents sued, claiming officials at Maria Carillo High in Santa Rosa, Calif., violated their daughter's First Amendment rights when they disciplined her for uttering a phrase "which enjoys widespread currency in youth culture," according to court documents. Testifying last week about the 2002 incident, Rice, now 18, said that when she uttered those words, she was not referring to anyone's sexual orientation. She said the phrase meant: "That's so stupid, that's so silly, that's so dumb." But school officials say they took a strict stand against the putdown after two boys were paid to beat up a gay student the year before. "The district has a statutory duty to protect gay students from harassment," the district's lawyers argued in a legal brief. "In furtherance of this goal, prohibition of the phrase 'That's so gay' ... was a reasonable regulation." Superior Court Judge Elaine Rushing plans to issue a ruling in the non-jury trial after final written arguments are submitted in April. Her gag order prevents the two sides from discussing the case. Derogatory terms for homosexuality have long been used as insults. But the landscape has become confusing in recent years as minority groups have tried to reclaim terms like "queer," "ghetto" and the n-word. In recent years, gay rights advocates and educators have tried teaching students that it is hurtful to use the word "gay" as an all-purpose term for something disagreeable. At Berkeley High School in Berkeley, Calif., a gay student club passed out buttons with the words "That's so gay" crossed out to get their classmates to stop using them. Rick Ayers, a retired teacher who helped compile and publish the "Berkeley High School Slang Dictionary," a compendium of trendy teen talk circa 2001, said educating students about offensive language is preferable to policing their speech. "I wouldn't be surprised if this girl didn't even know the origin of that term," he said. "The kids who get caught saying it will claim it's been decontextualized, but others will say, 'No, you know what that means.' It's quite talked about." Rice's parents, Elden and Katherine Rice, also claim the public high school employed a double-standard because, they say, administrators never sought to shield Rebekah from teasing based on Mormon stereotypes. Christopher Phelps & Associates, LLC v. Galloway4th Cir.02-12-2007Niemeyer, Circuit Judge05-2266PUBLISHED Argued: October 24, 2006 Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded by published opinion. Judge Niemeyer wrote the opinion, in which Judge Motz and Judge Traxler joined. OPINION After R. Wayne Galloway began construction of his retirement home on Lake Wylie, near Charlotte, North Carolina, using architectural plans designed and copyrighted by Christopher Phelps & Associates, LLC ("Phelps & Associates"), without permission, Phelps & Associates commenced this action against Galloway for copyright infringement. Phelps & Associates sought damages, disgorgement of profits, and injunctive relief. A jury found that Galloway infringed Phelps & Associates' copyright and awarded it $20,000 in damages, the fee that Phelps & Associates traditionally charged for such plans. The jury also found that Galloway had realized no profits to disgorge. The district court thereafter declined to enter an injunction, finding that the jury verdict had made Phelps & Associates "whole," and entered judgment in favor of Phelps & Associates for $20,000. From that judgment, Phelps & Associates appeals, requesting a new trial on damages and the entry of an injunction prohibiting the future lease or sale of the infringing house and mandating the destruction or return of the infringing plans. We agree with Phelps & Associates that the district court erred during the damages phase of trial in instructing the jury that Phelps & Associates' copyright was a derivative work. As we explain herein, Phelps & Associates held a copyright in the entire work manifested in Galloway's house. We conclude, however, that the error was harmless. We also reject Phelps & Associates' challenges to evidentiary rulings. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment incorporating the jury's verdict. We agree with Galloway's contention that the court in the circumstances presented here may not issue a permanent injunction, as requested by Phelps & Associates, prohibiting Galloway from ever leasing or selling the house. Not only would such an injunction unduly restrain the alienation of real property, it would violate the "first sale doctrine" in 17 U.S.C. § 109(a), which we hold authorizes Galloway to sell or otherwise dispose of the house as a copy for which the remedies in a copyright action have been paid. Other injunctive relief, however, might be available in applying the general principles of equity, as required by eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C., 126 S.Ct. 1837 (2006), which was decided after the district court's order denying relief in this case. Accordingly, we vacate portions of the district court's order denying injunctive relief and remand for the limited purpose of reconsidering other equitable relief, such as an order requiring Galloway to destroy the infringing plans or return them to Phelps & Associates. I. R. Wayne Galloway, in anticipation of retirement, planned to build his "dream home" on a lot that he owned on the North Carolina side of Lake Wylie, southwest of Charlotte, North Carolina. Displeased with the design work done by an architect whom he had hired, Galloway went with his son-in-law to view the designs of homes on Lake Norman, an expensive residential area about 30 miles north of Lake Wylie, where his son-in-law was working as an iron-work subcontractor. There, Galloway saw a French-country style house that he liked. His son-in-law approached the builder of the house, Simonini Builders, Inc., and asked the superintendent for a copy of the plans. The superintendent said that Galloway would have to speak with the owner, Mrs. Gina Bridgeford, because "she purchased the plans, they were actually drawn for her." Galloway contacted Mrs. Bridgeford, who gave Galloway her consent for use of the plans "as long as you don't build in our area." As to her authority to give consent, Mrs. Bridgeford testified at trial, "I felt with all we had paid, we owned the plans at that time." Galloway assured Mrs. Bridgeford that he would not build in the area, telling her that he planned to build on Lake Wylie about 30 miles away. With Mrs. Bridgeford's permission, the superintendent at Simonini Builders gave Galloway a copy of the plans for "The Bridgeford Residence." Each page of the plans included the copyright notice, in small print, of the designing architect as follows: (c) 2000 Copyright - Christopher Phelps & Assoc., L.L.C. These plans are protected under the federal copyright laws. The original purchaser of this plan is authorized to construct one and only one home using this plan. Modifications or reuse of this plan is prohibited. Galloway altered the plans only to cover the name and address of "The Bridgeford Residence" with the name and address of "The Galloway Residence," and then he copied them for constructing his house. Phelps & Associates, which designed the Bridgeford Residence, is an architectural firm in Charlotte, North Carolina, that designs upscale custom houses. It created the design for the Bridgeford Residence as a variation of its earlier design - "The Bell and Brown Residence." Bell and Brown had commissioned and paid Phelps & Associates for the earlier design, but ultimately decided not to build the house. Phelps & Associates modified the Bell and Brown design somewhat for the Bridgefords by moving a dormer window, changing the front entry and reconfiguring part of the floor plan, and removing the basement. The Bridgefords paid Phelps & Associates $20,000 for The Bridgeford Residence design, and the Bridgefords built their house on Lake Norman in accordance with that design. Acting as his own general contractor, Galloway began construction of his house in September 2001, using the Phelps & Associates plans for the Bridgeford Residence. During the course of construction, some of the subcontractors checked back with Phelps & Associates for clarification, particularly with respect to the windows. Phelps & Associates did not then know that the construction was being pursued without permission. Galloway's framing contractor, who had been asked to do some work for Galloway's brother-in-law using pirated Phelps & Associates plans, surmised that Galloway did not have permission to use the plans and approached Galloway to warn him that he could "get in trouble constructing a copyright plan." Galloway "shrugged his shoulders and said something to the effect: 'They've got to find me, catch me first.'" Through rumors from subcontractors, Phelps & Associates learned in early 2003 that Galloway was constructing a house using its designs. After confirming that fact, Phelps & Associates sent Galloway a cease and desist letter in July 2003. Upon receipt of the letter, Galloway stopped construction on his house, which was then over half completed. Thereafter, in August 2003, Phelps & Associates registered its plans for The Bridgeford Residence with the Copyright Office and then commenced this action against Galloway for copyright infringement. In its suit, Phelps & Associates sought compensatory damages, disgorgement of Galloway's profits (claimed as the difference between the value of Galloway's house and his provable expenses in constructing it), and injunctive relief. With respect to compensatory damages, Christopher Phelps, the principal of Phelps & Associates, testified at trial that if Galloway had come to him and asked Phelps & Associates to design "a house like the Bridgeford house," Phelps & Associates would have charged Galloway $20,000 - the same fee that it had charged Mrs. Bridgeford. Christopher Phelps made clear, however, that he would not have sold Galloway the actual Bridgeford Residence design, but something different, as Phelps & Associates prided itself on designing "custom homes." With respect to Galloway's profits, Phelps & Associates presented expert testimony that Galloway's house would be worth $1.1 million when completed. With this estimated value, Galloway would have realized over $200,000 in profits if he were to sell the completed house. Galloway testified at trial that he would have made no profit in the house had he sold it - he had spent more on the house than it was worth. He estimated that if he completed the house, he would show a loss of about $160,000. He introduced into evidence his receipts and ledger of expenditures for construction to date totaling approximately $660,000, and he estimated that it would cost an additional $250,000 to $300,000 to complete the house. He estimated that upon completion, the house itself would be worth $758,000. He also introduced into evidence the Mecklenburg County tax assessment of his house when half-completed, which evaluated the house in that state at $408,100. At the end of the trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Phelps & Associates, finding that Galloway had infringed Phelps & Associate's architectural design copyright; awarding Phelps & Associates $20,000 in actual damages; and finding that Galloway had no profits to disgorge. Thereafter, Phelps & Associates requested injunctive relief from the court (1) ordering that the infringing copy of the plans be returned or destroyed; (2) enjoining completion of the house; and (3) permanently enjoining the lease or sale of the house. The court "in its discretion" denied all injunctive relief, finding that the $20,000 jury award made Phelps & Associates "whole." Accordingly, the court entered judgment in favor of Phelps & Associates for $20,000 in damages. On appeal, Phelps & Associates contends that it is entitled to a new trial on damages because the district court erroneously instructed the jury that "The Bridgeford Residence" design was a derivative work and made certain erroneous evidentiary rulings. It also argues that the district court's refusal to enter an injunction was error as a matter of law because it had proved a past infringement and a likelihood of future infringement. Phelps & Associates did not obtain an injunction pending appeal, and, according to representations made at oral argument, Galloway has completed the construction of his house, where he now resides. Galloway has also satisfied the $20,000 money judgment. II. To obtain a new jury trial on damages, Phelps & Associates argues that the district court (1) erred in instructing the jury on the scope of its copyright, telling them erroneously that Phelps & Associates' design was a derivative work, not an original work in its entirety; and (2) abused its discretion by making several evidentiary rulings. We address these contentions in turn. A. Phelps & Associates contends first and principally that the jury was improperly instructed that its copyright in the Bridgeford Residence design was a derivative work of the earlier design of the Bell and Brown Residence and that the scope of Phelps & Associates' copyright consisted only of the minimal difference between the two designs. The jury was instructed: [Phelps & Associates'] copyright in the architectural work known as the Bridgeford Residence is a derivative work of the architectural work known as the Bell/Brown Residence. A derivative work is a work that is based upon one or more pre-existing works, including a revision, transformation, or adaptation of a pre-existing work. [Phelps & Associates'] recovery is limited by the scope of copyright protection afforded a derivative work. You are instructed that the copyright protection in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. It does not extend to any pre-existing material and does not imply a copyright in that material. The copyright in a compilation or derivative work extends only to the material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from the pre-existing material employed in the work, and does not imply any exclusive right in the pre-existing material. The copyright in such work is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, ownership, or substance of any copyright protection in the pre-existing material. Phelps & Associates contends that this instruction essentially told the jury that the copyright consisted of the relocation of a dormer window, a few floor plan changes, and the lack of a basement, and that the jury accordingly attributed no profits to the infringement. Galloway argues that the derivative work instruction was accurate - that Phelps & Associates' copyright only extended to the new material embodied in the Bridgeford Residence - and that its registration of the Bridgeford Residence design did not effect a registration of the many elements common to the Bridgeford Residence design and the Bell and Brown Residence design. We agree with Phelps & Associates that the instruction was erroneous. The Bridgeford Residence was not a derivative work as defined in the Copyright Act; Phelps & Associates held a copyright in the entire design. Galloway's position misunderstands a fundamental precept of copyright law, that a copyright is independent of its registration. Both parties properly recognize that the copyright in a derivative work extends only to the new elements contributed by the author and does not extend to the underlying work. See 17 U.S.C. § 103(b). That provision assures that the author of a derivative work does not acquire ownership over constituent material that is already in the public domain or is owned by someone else. But when the author of the derivative work also has a copyright on the underlying work, there is no need to protect the public domain or the author of the underlying work, as the entire work is that of the single author. Galloway's emphasis on the scope of Phelps & Associates' registration of the Bridgeford Residence design places more emphasis on the registration than the Copyright Act provides. The copyright itself does not depend on registration. See 17 U.S.C. § 408(a) ("[R]egistration is not a condition of copyright protection"). It is obtained without formalities simply when a work has been fixed in a tangible medium of expression. See id. §§ 102(a), 408(a). Once fixation of an original work has taken place, the author has a copyright in the work, and registration with the Copyright Office serves only supporting roles. For instance, it provides evidence of a copyright, see id. § 410, and it is required as a condition to bringing suit, see id. § 411. In this case, the undisputed facts are that Phelps & Associates was the author of the Bell and Brown Residence design and therefore owned the copyright in that work, even though it never registered that copyright. Phelps & Associates was also the author of the Bridgeford Residence design, which was a modification of the Bell and Brown Residence design. Phelps & Associates did register the Bridgeford Residence design, but not as a derivative work. It simply registered the entire design, as it was the author of the entire design. While Phelps & Associates only registered the Bridgeford Residence design, that registration satisfied the prerequisite for suit under 17 U.S.C. § 411 for the entire design, even though some of it was created earlier in the form of the Bell and Brown Residence design. See Xoom v. Imageline, Inc., 323 F.3d 279, 283-84 (4th Cir. 2003) (holding that a party has standing to sue on all components of a registered work if he owns a copyright on those components, even if the underlying components have not been registered); 2 Melville B. Nimmer & David Nimmer, Nimmer on Copyright § 7.16[B][2][c], at 7-173 (perm. ed., rev. vol. 2006) (same). Therefore, even if Phelps & Associates had only registered the Bridgeford Residence design as a derivative work, it could have sought damages and profits for infringement of all of the components, including those embodied in the Bell and Brown Residence design, because it held the copyright in all of the components. The scope of registration need not precisely trace the scope of the copyright for the holder to sue. See Educ. Testing Serv. v. Katzman, 793 F.2d 533, 538-39 (3d Cir. 1986) ("[T]he statutory premise that the copyright in a compilation extends to the constituent material contributed by the author is express"); Morris v. Business Concepts, Inc., 259 F.3d 65, 68 (2d Cir. 2001) (same). Accordingly, Phelps & Associates was entitled to sue for remedies based on infringement of the entire Bridgeford Residence design, even though that design included components of an earlier work created by Phelps & Associates; it was the author and therefore owner of the copyright in all of the copyrightable design elements. The instruction given by the district court to the jury was therefore erroneous. Nonetheless, we conclude that the error was harmless. Three different aspects of the trial - the district court's other instructions, the evidence presented at trial, and the jury's verdict - indicate that the jury followed the other instructions given by the district court and understood that they were to award damages based on the entire Galloway house as an infringement of the Bridgeford Residence design. First, when instructing the jury about the relief it was to consider if it found infringement, the court correctly stated that Phelps & Associates would be entitled to both actual damages for infringement and to all profits of the infringer resulting from the copyright infringement. See 17 U.S.C. § 504. In instructing the jury about the actual damages, the court said: Actual damages for infringement are measured according to market value, which means what a willing buyer would have been reasonably required to pay a willing seller for the copyright holder's work. Stated differently, this amount is what [Phelps & Associates] would have received from a willing buyer as a reasonable licensing fee for the use of the Bridgeford Residence architectural works. (Emphasis added). On actual damages, Phelps & Associates introduced evidence that it charged Mrs. Bridgeford $20,000 as its fee for the Bridgeford Residence design. Christopher Phelps testified further that if Galloway had come to him to create a similar design, Phelps & Associates would likewise have charged Galloway a $20,000 fee. There was no other evidence on Phelps & Associates' actual damages as they were defined by the court's instructions. In returning a verdict, the jury awarded Phelps & Associates $20,000, consistent with the evidence about the licensing fee for the entire Bridgeford Residence design. Had the jury paid attention to the court's instruction on derivative works, it would have awarded a licensing fee only for the elements added by the Bridgeford Residence design to the Bell and Brown Residence design, i.e. a relocated dormer and a slightly reconfigured floor plan. There was no evidence, however, of the market value of these design elements, if they had any substantial value at all. And if the jury speculated on this matter, having no evidence of the design value of the two elements, it would have given Phelps & Associates only a portion of the $20,000 fee that represented the full licensing fee charged by Phelps & Associates for the entire house. With respect to the profits for which Phelps & Associates sought disgorgement, the district court instructed the jury: In addition to its actual damages, the law allows a copyright holder to recover all profits of the infringer resulting from copyright infringement. An infringer's profits consist of the amount of the infringer's gross revenues from the infringing activity less the expenses of producing the infringing work. Relating this general instruction about profits to the circumstances of this case, the district court referred the jury to the costs of the entire house less the expenses incurred in constructing the entire house. The court stated: Galloway bears the burden of proving the expenses he incurred in constructing the house at issue. If he fails to prove his direct expenses, you must find the amount of his gross revenues as the amount of his profits. For an item to be a deductible expense, Galloway must prove that he actually incurred such amounts in the construction of the house in question, and that such expense actually assisted in the construction of the house in question. (Emphasis added). Again, no evidence was introduced to the jury from which to conclude what the profits were for the minor design changes between the two works - the addition of the dormer and the changed configuration of the layout. All of the evidence focused on the market value of the entire house and the expenses that Galloway incurred in constructing it. In response to the court's instructions and the evidence, the jury found that Galloway realized $0 in profits. If the jury had believed that Galloway actually had profits from the two changed elements, it would have allocated some amount to those elements. Whether that was $2,000 or a nickel, some amount of infringer profits would be associated with the relevant design changes. Because $0 was given in profits, the jury apparently credited Galloway's position that there were no profits in the house. This conclusion was amply supported by the evidence presented, which included Galloway's own valuation, the county tax assessment, and the loss taken by the Bridgefords when they sold their identical house. If the jury had given effect to the court's instruction relating to derivative works, it would have applied that instruction to both its award of actual damages and its finding with respect to infringer profits. Yet such an application is belied by the verdict itself. Not only does the jury's verdict of $0 in profits reveal that it considered profits from the entire house design despite the derivative work instruction, finding that none were proved, the district court's other instructions overrode any prejudicial effect that might have resulted from the erroneous instruction. The court gave instructions telling the jury how to apportion damages between conduct that was infringing and conduct that was not. The instructions imposed the burden on Galloway to prove any profits attributable to non-infringing conduct. On a failure of that proof, the jury was instructed to award all profits realized from the house. As the court stated: Moreover, if non-infringing factors are so intertwined with infringing factors that it is impossible to apportion profits, then no apportionment is allowed. All profits should be deemed attributable to the infringement unless Galloway proves by a preponderance of the evidence that they are not. If you have any doubts as to the amount of the profits or whether they resulted solely due to other factors, you must resolve those doubts in favor of [Phelps & Associates]. Galloway did not present any evidence of apportionment at trial to give effect to this apportionment instruction or the derivative work instruction. Consequently, the jury was instructed to award damages as if the entire house was an infringement of Phelps & Associates' copyright. It could have awarded $0 in profits only if it concluded there were no profits at all. While the jury did award Phelps & Associates the full amount of actual damages that it claimed and proved, the jury concluded that Galloway had realized no profits. If the jury had found any profits and if Galloway had carried his burden on apportionment, the jury still would have given some amount of the profits to Phelps & Associates in accordance with both the apportionment instruction and the derivative work instruction. Its failure to do so satisfies us that the jury did not believe there were any profits.
