Sexual Harassment "POSH" and Men
Today in a country like India which is said to be one of the largest democracy in the world where we, the citizens of India speak about the laws being gender neutral and with the development of the society with man and woman standing on the same ground everywhere with equal opportunities almost everywhere, gone are those days when women were said to be the household workers and men had to take the responsibility of being the bread earner for the family. The male domination has been reduced ever since and all laws have been made to upheld the integrity and reputation of a female in the society. Today, in my blog, I will be discussing about a pestering question which comes to my mind when I read the "POSH" provisions. POSH or as we know it 'Prevention of Sexual Harassment' was brought into force after the landmark case of Vishaka vs. State of Rajasthan. The question which my blog will deal with today is – Can a man initiate any sort of proceedings under such an Act if in case he is sexually harassed or bullied in any manner whatsoever. Ø The straight and general answer to such a question is a BIG NO. Ø A man cannot initiate any sort of proceedings for himself is in case he is sexually abused/harassed or bullied in any manner whatsoever. Ø The law in itself is not gender neutral as it expressly covers only women who are sexually harassed. The heading of the Act reads as 'Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013'Ø It is clear from the above heading that this Act is implemented to protect Women and not men. Ø The answer to this question gets further clarity when we dig inside the 'POSH' Act.Ø The Jurisdiction of the Act extends to the whole of India as per section I of The POSH Act. Furthermore, it defines the term 'aggrieved woman' u/s 2(a) of the Act. Nowhere is there any mention of a term as 'aggrieved man' or 'aggrieved person' by which one can speculate that even a man can be subject to sexual violence and needs to be protected under such acts which once made should not be exclusively kept for the redressal of women. Ø This act not being a gender-neutral legislation fails to protect the 'male victims' of such sexual violence who do not find any sort of protection under the same. Therefore, the safeguards under such Act is for the women only and so to say it is also exclusive in its nature. Now the next question that comes to my mind is – 'Can someone else file a complaint under the Act?'Ø The answer to that is a YES. If we look into section 9 (2) of the Act it does provide for someone else to file a complain provided that 1. The aggrieved woman is unable to make the complain herself due to physical or mental inability or in case of death of such person.her legal heirs or any other person who is prescribed may file a complain on her behalf. However, the Act does not specify any other individual apart from a woman who can have the liberty to file a complain under the proviso of this Act. APPLICABILITY OF THE ACTTo answer the first question, I must say that we should look into the applicability of the Act as it will give us a clear idea of the people to whom such Act is applicable. When we read the applicability of the Act, we find that this Act is applicable only to women. An aggrieved woman can invoke the 'POSH' Laws but on the other hand if the victim of the same is a man then in such a circumstance he needs to rely on the company rules/regulations/policies and procedures because the 'POSH' Laws do not cover aggrieved men under its broad ambit and purview.INDIAN PENAL CODE IN RELATION TO 'POSH' LAW When we look into the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and relate the same to sexual offence we find a newly inserted section in the Penal Laws which deals with Sexual Harassment. Section 354A of The Indian Penal Code, 1860 deals with Sexual Harassment and it has also made it a 'cognizable offence'. By making Sexual Harassment a cognizable offence one means to say that – A police at any time may arrest without warrant any such person who is charged under the above-named section. Section 354A in itself is not gender neutral as it levies the conduct of Sexual Harassment to a man whereas imposes the victimization of the same to a woman. The law makers did not feel the need to introspect into the idea that 'Sexual Harassment' in itself is a gender-neutral crime and anyone can be sexually harassed irrespective of their gender. The section reads as follows: - 1. A man committing any of the following acts shall be deemed to be guilty of an act of sexual offence. a. Physical Contact b. Sexual Advances which are unwelcoming c. Explicit Sexual overturesd. Request for Sexual favorse. Making Sexually colored remarks f. Showing pornography content against the will of such person Such person shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term extending to a maximum period of three years with fine or with both. Other than the above section there are other various sections of IPC which deal with offences of Sexual Harassment. Such as Section's 354/354C/354D/375/376 and 509. CRITICISM OF THE 'POSH' ACTThere have been many criticisms about the said Act and most of which have been resolved in the Draft Bill of 2012. The major criticisms are as under: -1. The Act did not cover women of the armed forces and those who are agricultural workers.As a result of which the terminology of the Act changed its clause to "No woman shall be subjected to sexual harassment at any workplace" as a result of which widening its scope to every woman in India and giving them protection under the Act. 2. Another major criticism is that the bill does not cover or protect men in any way. Manoj Mitta of The Times of India complained that Bill does not protect men, saying it "is based on the premise that only female employees needed to be safeguarded.3. There have been some tribunals who have commented on the constitutionality of section 4 and 7 of the said Act. PERSONAL OPINIONFrom the above it is very clear that a man under whatsoever circumstance cannot take any legal action under the 'POSH' Act. The Act in itself is not gender neutral and it believes female to be the weaker sex who can be exploited and hence need protection. It clearly sets an example whereby upon the bare reading of the provisions of the Act one can come to a conclusion that a female can never be the sexual offender however; she can always be the one who is sexually exploited. On the contrary the framework of such a legislation without prejudice categorizes a man as a sexual offender and fails to introspect a situation whereby even a man can be a victim to such a heinous crime, setting the legislation up as non-gender neutral, this Act formulates the policy that it is only the female employee or for that fact only a female who needs protection from Sexual Harassment and that men cannot be Sexually Harassed as they are always the one who are the force behind such Sexual Offences. Under any circumstance if a man becomes a victim of Sexual Offence whereby the wrong doer is a woman then in no circumstance is there any legislation which particularly protects the victimized male gender just like there is 'POSH' which protects the victimized female gender. The man needs to be at the mercy of company policies/bye laws/rules and regulations as there is no particular statute which gives any form of redressal to the victimized man.

How to protect yourself from the false accusation...
To answer this certain question, some other questions related to it are arising. They are: What is sexual harassment? What are rules under Indian laws? Is it satisfactory? What you can do? Legal proceedings Case laws related to it. First, we need to take a look on what is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when either: The conduct is made as a term or condition of an individual's employment, education, living environment or participation in a University community. The acceptance or refusal of such conduct is used as the basis or a factor in decisions affecting an individual's employment, education, living environment, or participation in a University community. The conduct unreasonably impacts an individual's employment or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for that individual's employment, education, living environment, or participation in a University community. Sexual harassment is defined by law and includes requests for sexual favors, sexual advances. Let us now have a look at the rules under Indian government to prevent Sexual Harassment for Women. The acts of offences of Sexual Harassment under the Indian Penal Code 1960 and the relevant punishments for that: Section 345A to section 345D and section 509 describes Sexual Harassment and its form. Unwelcome physical contact and advances, including unwanted and explicit sexual overtures, a demand or request for sexual favors, showing someone sexual images or pornography without their consent, and making unwelcome sexual remarks categorize as Sexual Harassment. Indian government has made an Act to provide protection against Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace and for prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The Act may be called as The Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, Redressal) Act, 2013. This Act came into force after 16 years of the case Vishakha & Ors vs the State of Rajasthan & ors, on 13 August, 2013. In this case Vishakha and other groups of women filed a PIL against Rajasthan and Union of India to enforce the Fundamental Rights of working women under Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India. The petition was filed after a lady named Bhanwari Devi, a social worker in Rajasthan brutally gang raped for stopping a child marriage. There was another Act enacted by the Indian Government on protection of children from sexual harassment. The Protection of children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) 2012 was formulated in order to effectively address sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children. The protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 received the President's assent on 19th June 2012 and was notified in the Gazette of India on 20th June, 2012. The protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, has been passed by the Lok Sabha today, 22nd May,2012. The Bill was earlier passed by the Rajya Sabha on 10th May, strengthen the legal provisions for the protection of children from sexual abuse and exploitation. The Act defines a child as any person below eighteen years of age. It states different forms of Sexual Abuse, including penetrative and non-penetrative assault, as well as sexual harassment and pornography. It deems a sexual assault, to be aggravated under certain circumstances, such as when the abused child is mentally ill or when the abuse is committed by a person in a position of trust or authority like a family member, police officer, teacher, or doctor. The Act also casts the police in role of child protectors during the investigative process. Thus, the police personnel receiving a report of sexual abuse of a child are given the responsibility of making urgent arrangements for the care and protection of the child, such as bringing the matter in front of the CWC (The Concerned for Working Children is a non-profit organization based in Bangalore, India.), should the need arise. Multiple studies have shown that social stigma and insensitive attitudes of police lead women to avoid filing domestic assault charges. According to a decade of data on 1,675 abused women, which was collected by Dilaasa, a crisis intervention center, only 47 percent of women went to the police. A third of those who did not approach the police had faced violence for three to five years, two-thirds had faced violence during pregnancy, and a third had attempted suicide. A quarter also experienced rape and sexual assault with objects. Amidst all the heightened and enlightened activism around gender bias for protection of women's rights and dignity, there lays a much-neglected topic of harassment faced by men in all forms. The Indian legislation completely negates the fact that men can be victims too. In fact, IPC section 354A, 354B, 354C, 354D, 509 deals with sexual harassment, disrobing, stalking and voyeurism, and clearly state a man being the perpetrator, and the woman being the victim. Even sections 376 and 509 speak about rape of a woman and outraging the modesty of a woman. The question of modesty, if at all, only exists in women. Now let us talk about the things we can do to protect ourselves from false accusation of Sexual Harassment. When someone is being falsely accused of some wrongdoing then that creates a major negative influence on his career, social life, mental health and legal background. Attribute the current situation. Being the subject of any false allegations can create a lot of mental pressure. It makes one nervous, frustrated and panicky. The anxiety level of one gets higher day by day. The aim should be to accept and acknowledge the present situation and keep the faith in oneself. Do not deny the severity of the situation or do not think that the problem will get solved by itself. One must take action to resolve the problem or the false accusation. Concede the feeling guilt. Even when one is innocent, that person may still practice some mixture feeling of guilt. If someone professed some wrongdoing on one's name then that person in his mind may feel that they have done something wrong to deserve those comments. These kinds of feelings are only natural. Do not entertain them and let them go. Choose your confrontation. When a false accusation is made that creates a lot more rumors along with it. Always stand up for yourself and fight those situations calmly. React only to those matters what is worth the fight otherwise if is possible then avoid silly rumors. Because you need time and energy to fight the actual False allegation. Acknowledge the support system. One must always acknowledge the fact that their family and close friends will always be there by one's side. What you need to do is appreciate them and find your support system in them. Focus on your efforts. In the court of law, the Judge's discretion is the last of all proceedings. So, one must focus his efforts on the fact that the Judge must be pleased by his statements and reputation. Try building that reputation and always keep faith in yourself. Research on your topic. One must not rely on others when he has been falsely accused of some wrongdoing. He, himself must research about that particular incident. Whether similar kind of incident has occurred with someone else before or any judgement of court has been made on that topic. If one researches then he will get the measurements of what he should do next. Do not promote blackmailing. If your accuser is blackmailing you for exhortation of money then do not provide the amount. Rather record the event and save it as an evidence to present it later on your account. You may think that your problem will get solved by providing the money. But it will be only a fool's act to do because blackmailing never solves any problem rather it creates more. And if you pay the amount you have asked for then the act will be counted as an act of guilt on your part. Congregate evidences and witnesses. One must back up their story especially in the cases of false allegations. Gather documents that proves your innocence such as photographs, receipts, tickets, bills etc. which shows that you were not present there where the incident actually occurred. Any other kind of evidences like audio or video recordings, messages or any other documents that provides the proof of your innocence, congregate them together to present the same before the Court when asked upon. Safeguard yourself. The procedure of defending yourself in the case of false allegation and accusation may be fleeting. Always believe in your own story, stick to it and defend yourself with the gathered evidences and witnesses to endorse your account of the events. Social media is not a weapon. One must realize that posting your matter of false accusation of sexual harassment on any social media is not an option. If you think that will bring you justice then I must tell you that you are not thinking right. When you post your matter on social media, it goes viral. People make trolls out of it. If you are looking for sympathy then your family and friends are there to provide you with that. There is no need to posting your matter on social media and make a comedy of your tragedy. Say NO to apology letters. In this kind cases, people who are in higher positions than you or even people who are equal with you may suggest you to present an apology letter to the person who has falsely charged you with erroneous allegation. Never do that when you know that you are innocent. One might think that the apology letter will nullify the case then and there but it does not. It becomes as an evidence for your accuser and makes you look guilty. Check before signing. One must always check the documents which are presented before him for signing. This a general idea to safeguard yourself from the future harm. Especially in the cases of false allegation one must always check the documents and papers before signing the same. Do not provide your signature on any blank paper either. Because people with harmful nature and mind may take advantage of that signed blank paper. Take legal help. When you are being falsely accused of wrongdoing you haven't done, you should take legal help. Hire an advocate who is an expert in these issues. Share all the details about the incident with him/her. Provide your legal counsel with all the evidences you have gathered yet. Legal Process Prima Facie case. In the cases of False Accusation, 'Prima Facie' would be appropriate to get through it. In most legal proceedings, one partyhas a burden of proof, which requires it to present prima facieevidence for all of the essential facts in its case. If it cannot, its claim may be dismissed without any need for a response by other parties. A prima facie case might not stand or fall on its own; if an opposing party introduces other evidence or asserts an affirmative defense it can only be reconciled with a full trial. Sometimes the introduction of prima facie evidence is informally called making a case or building a case. There are several Indian Court judgments against false acquisitions of sexual harassment. Where it has been proved that the accusations of Sexual Harassment were made falsely. And the Court's discretion was clear on the fact that the victim was not actually a victim and falsely made a complaint of Sexual Harassment and quash the proceedings. Below mentioned are few of the many examples. 1. Mr Sunil Menon vs Mr. Ramesh Chelliah on 15 March, 2017 Karnataka High Court The learned Sessions Judge ought to have noted that in the absence of any witnesses being cited, it was pointless to direct investigation as no independent evidence would be available to prove any of the accusations made in the complaint. As a result, the proceedings would degenerate into a weapon of harassment and persecution. 2. Smt. Babita Chawla vs Kamal Kulthia on 11 August, 2014 Delhi District Court The complaint of the petitioner is related to an offence whereby it is stated that she had paid 21 lakhs to the respondent no. 1 bur he had denied having executed any agreement and also having received any money. There were phone call transcripts between the parties which show and prove the case of the petitioner. Learned Trial Court holding that identity of the accused and entire incriminating evidence was within reach of complainant therefore, no direction under 156(3) of Cr.PC were required, dismissed the application and listed the case for presummoning evidence. Respondent has also placed on record certified copy of settlement arrived before Mediation Cell, where the dispute between husband of petitioner and respondent no. 1 was settled for a total sum of Rs. 50 lakhs to be paid in 07 installments. This settlement bears signatures of petitioner and respondent no. 1 alongwith signatures of the advocate for husband of petitioner. This settlement nowhere mentions about the petitioner having paid Rs. 21 lakhs at any point of time nor does it taken into consideration having entered into any previous agreement as alleged by petitioner. The settlement is also accompanied by a compromise deed wherein it is mentioned that petitioner had earlier filed a false sexual harassment case against respondent no.1 and also after the settlement no further case or complaint or FIR would be lodged relating to the said matter. 3. Neena Shad vs Mcd on 2 November, 2010 Delhi High Court In his defense the respondent stated, that the petitioner and the her husband unnecessarily picked up a fight with him and thereafter called the police and falsely accused him of Sexually Harassing Neena Shad. During the pendency of proceedings of Sexual Harassment Complaints Committee, a report was submitted regarding the conduct of the petitioner, Neena Shad. This report states that during her stay in various dispensaries her behaviour towards junior or subordinate staff was not found satisfactory. It came into notice that the officer who asked for her punctuality and behave properly to juniors, she always levelled allegation of Sexual Harassment upon everyone. As many as three complaints by the levelling Sexual Harassment allegations were filed by Neena Shad but not even an iota of truth was found in any of the said complaints by the committee. 4. Neeraj Kumar vs joint commissioner, Navodaya Vidyalaya Delhi High Court It has been submitted that the foundation of the order of termination in this case of petitioner though is based upon the Inquiry Report along with statements given by the complainant in Sexual Harassment case or all proceedings among other false charges; the respondent in the order to hide their illegal act and at the same time with a view to punish the petitioner, took the illegal recourse of a camouflaged Termination Simpliciter order acting on the biased, prejudiced, contrary and malafide recommendation of the DPC. It has been submitted that the basis of his termination is unsatisfactory performance or unsuitability. The tribunal have failed to appreciate that dishonour has been attached to the termination of the petitioner inasmuch as the DPC in recommending for termination of petitioner was biased, malafide, prejudiced and perverse. 5. K.Narmatha vs The Home Secretary on 3 September, 2010 Madras High Court The appellant had approached this court with an innocuous prayer for a direction to the concerned authority to take appropriate action on her complaint. When such a relief is asked for, an enquiry was conducted by a team headed by the woman Deputy Superintendent of Police, Manamadurai, it came to be known that the complaint was false. The fact that appellant also gave a statement in writing that she was not subjected to any sexual harassment by any police officer, is not denied. The further fact remains that almost all the women Sub Inspectors of Police from that district have also given a statement in writing that they were not sexually harassed by any police officer. The report of the Deputy Superintendent of police also stated that the complaint was false. Based on such reports, further proceedings were dropped on both the above complaints. There is no dispute that the action to drop further proceedings was not questioned by the appellant.

What is Sexual Harassment at work place?
Sexual harassment refers to the uninvited behaviour of a sexual nature. As per Section 354 (A) of the Indian Penal Code, men pressing uninvited and explicit sexual suggestions, or requesting/demanding favours for sex, or committing physical contact, or presenting pornography against the woman's wishes, are liable to have committed sexual harassment.
Governing Laws of Sexual Harassment at work place -

- The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1987 – harassing someone with publications consisting of 'indecent representation of women' is not allowed.
- Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013
Brief History of policies relating to Sexual harassment in India:
Prior to 1997, the legal provision for addressing complaints related to sexual harassment was Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code 1860 which dealt with the 'criminal assault for outraging a women's modesty'.
In the 1990's, Mrs. Bhanwari Devi tried to stop child marriage in accordance with her duties being associated with the Women Development Programme. Certain sections of the society did not take this well and responded with raping her. Eventually Rajasthan High Court allowed the defendants to go free. Then a PIL in context of Bhanwari Devi's case was filed in the Supreme Court, which led to the formation of Vishaka guidelines, which drew inspiration from the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) . These guidelines were to be used in instances of sexual harassment till the time a legislation came into force. These guideline have now been superseded by a statute.
Some Features of the 'Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013:
- On 9th December 2013, this Act came into effect.
- Requires an 'Internal Complaints Committee' to be set up by the employer in every workplace which would look into matters pertaining to complaints of harassment. There is also the functioning of a 'Local Complaints Committee' set up by the district officer for organisations that do not have an 'Internal Complaints Committee' due to having less than ten workers
- The idea of a 'hostile work environment' (Section 3) & 'quid pro quo harassment' with connection to a sexual nature have also been dealt with under the Act.
- Powers of civil courts have been conferred on the Complaints Committees for purposes of gathering evidence.
- Government having the power to inspect any workplace w.r.t documents and other records in connection to sexual harassment.
- Vishaka Guidelines interpreted 'workplace' as something that was confined to the traditional office-set up, however, this Act widened the scope of the word 'workplace' to include hospitals, educational institutions, any place visited by employee in course of their employment including the transportation as well.
Where to file such Complaint at workplace?

Graeme McDowell's amazing US Open victory - the first by a European in the event since Tony Jacklin in 1970 - takes him to a career-high 13th in the world.
Only two months ago the 30 year old Northern Irishman was not even in the top 50 and was in danger of having to qualify for not only Pebble Beach, but also next month's Open at St Andrews.
Now, however, he has won on his last two starts – The Celtic Manor Wales Open victory came two weeks ago - and with his climb today from 37th that makes it eight Europeans in the top 15 of the rankings.
The top five remain unchanged with Lee Westwood third behind Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Ernie Els, joint third at Pebble Beach moves up to sixth by overtaking Luke Donald. Paul Casey also moves up a place to eighth after changing places with Ian Poulter while Rory mcIlroy maintains his position in the world's top ten.
Martin Kaymer received a welcome boost ahead of the BMW International Open in his home country after moving up a place to 11th with his top ten in the US Open. McDowell now lies 13th while Padraig Harrington occupies 15th place.

Available in both digital and analogue versions, multimeters are electronic measurement tools that are much used in the field by operatives, as well as providing accurate readings in laboratories and workshops. Generally speaking, handheld multimeters are used by field engineers, while benchtop multimeters are used in dedicated test facilities. However, there is no reason why this approach cannot be reversed, if wanted. As well as modular measuring systems, a number of multimeters are made in kit form, which means that they are often supplied with carry cases and a variety of probes and sensors that enable the multimeter to gain accurate reading, no matter which mode it is in. Multimeters can make all sorts of measurements, including resistance, voltage, current, sound level, conductance, duty cycle, temperature and inductance, among others. Analogue multimeters use a microammeter within them to move a needle pointer to give readings. By contrast, digital multimeter devices use an LCD display to offer a numerical output. Digital products may also have a graphical function that is able to represent the measured value in the form of a chart or graph. Digital multimeters are now widely used due to their precision and reliability, but analogue multimeters are often still favoured when a rapidly varying value needs to be measured.

Pro-regulatory groups including Public Knowledge have circulated press releases saying the episode demonstrates the "need for Net neutrality legislation." A Comcast-related post on DailyKos was titled "Why we need Net neutrality." Comcast, BitTorrent, and the phrase "need Net neutrality" appear in roughly 10,000 Web pages indexed by Google.
But even some supporters of new laws--which would enact antidiscrimination regulations aimed at broadband providers--are now reluctantly conceding that the proposals that have been circulating in Congress for more than a year may not do much to stop Comcast. (The company, a cable operator and broadband provider, has been sabotaging some peer-to-peer file transfers, which dramatically slows them down, although the file tends to be delivered eventually.)
, a partner at the law firm Foley & Lardner in Los Angeles who has written about Net neutrality and is now in favor of such regulations, says "the language is such that there is definitely some wiggle room in both bills." Handler was referring to bills that have been considered, but not approved, by both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Harold Feld, senior vice president for the Media Access Project, which lobbies for Net neutrality laws, is also skeptical about whether Rep. Ed Markey's would do much. If Comcast announced, "'We are absolutely going to prohibit peer-to-peer on our network or even manage our network so when we reach some unspecified capacity restraint, we're going to start messing with everybody's BitTorrent uploads, but it'll be totally random...' that is arguably permissible under the Markey bill," Feld said.
One reason for this is the wording of the language that the House of Representatives considered. Lawyers think of it as the network management exception: it allows a broadband provider to implement "reasonable and nondiscriminatory measures" in order to manage its network, as long as the company doesn't discriminate "between content, applications, or services offered by the provider and unaffiliated providers."
According to Comcast, reasonable network management is all it's doing. "Comcast does not, has not, and will not block any Web sites or online applications, including peer-to-peer services, and no one has demonstrated otherwise," spokeswoman Sena Fitzmaurice told CNET News.com. "We engage in reasonable network management to provide all of our customers with a good Internet experience, and we do so consistently with FCC policy."
Fitzmaurice was referring to the Federal Communications Commission's 2005 broadband policy statement, which describes expectations that broadband providers will allow their users to view sites, run applications, and connect devices to the network as they wish. Crucially, it also contains an exception for "reasonable network management."
To make matters more complicated, most of the gray areas can be found in the earlier Markey legislation. The Senate counterpart, called the Internet Freedom Preservation Act and reintroduced in January by Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), is more specific. It doesn't contain broad immunity for network management, a legal shield that broadband operators argue is necessary.
It's not clear whether that potential murkiness will be resolved in a
When asked whether Comcast's conduct toward BitTorrent would be prohibited under the original bill, the aide said the clearest answer is "maybe." In any case, the bill's authors want to leave it up to an "expert agency," presumably the FCC, to decide whether a company's conduct in a particular situation was both "reasonable" and "nondiscriminatory," the aide said.
Until then, whether Comcast would be reined in by the two existing proposals remains, literally, an academic question. University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Christopher Woo is one of the most vocal academic critics of extensive new Net neutrality regulations, which would typically be enforced by the FCC. Woo says that Comcast's conduct is "in a gray area," and it's hard to say exactly how either existing proposal would treat it. A "natural reading" of both bills, he added, is that Comcast's network management techniques would not pass muster because they're "discriminating on the basis of the application"--in this case, BitTorrent.
Another academic is more emphatic. Columbia Law School Professor Tim Wu, a proponent of Net neutrality regulations, said it's clear that neither of the proposals would allow the sort of activity Comcast is engaged in. "What Comcast is doing is 'application discrimination'--they are choosing one application and treating it worse than others," he said. "Nothing in any of the Net neutrality bills allows this."

Disney Animation's 'Wreck-It Ralph,' opening in 3,700 theaters, is expected to rule the box office, and gross somewhere in the $45 million range.
The digitally animated film is poised to show that Disney animation is back on track, capable of producing films on the level of much-lauded Pixar. Building on the success of last year's 'Tangled' it's clear that Pixar chief John Lasseter's oversight of Disney Animation, is working.
Reviews of 'Ralph' have been nearly universally positive, with ratings scores on Metacritic and Rottentomatoes.com of 72 and 85 out of 100 respectively, more positive than the last Pixar film, 'Brave.' The New York Times' A.O. Scott calls the movie a "93-minute blast of color, noise, ingenuity and fun," saying that obliterates any cynicism about the seemingly limitless merchandising potential. Needless to say, the film's video game theme lends itself well to a range of consumer products and theme park rides. (Read More: Analysts Applaud Disney's LucasFilm Acquisition)
The big question: how much will Hurricane Sandy eat into results for Ralph and the other big films opening this weekend: Paramount's "Flight" and Universal's "The Man with the Iron Fists" also open wide. About a quarter of Disney's box office take from its recent films have come from the 10 major markets hit by the storm. (Read More: Reborn - American Drive-In Movie Theaters)
About 300 theaters were closed earlier this week, although as of Thursday, fewer than 200 were closed and more are expected to open for the weekend. It's unclear if people will want to hit theaters, or with gas shortages and so much damage, they're more likely to stay home. Close to no tickets were sold on Monday and Tuesday — and the theater chains like AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and Imax, as well as the studios are sure to lose millions of dollars in revenue.
The question is whether people will see an escape to a heated theater as a welcome respite from the storm, or whether it seems frivolous and unnecessary after the storm tragically took so many lives.

Almost everyone has a game that they enjoy playing. Before video games, many people played board games like Monopoly or Life. Beginning with the development of arcade video games in the 1970's, there have been unbelievable improvements, including huge advances with the flight simulator game.
Early flight simulation was used for military purposes and didn't become popular with the general public until the 1970s when programs like Airfight were developed as an educational flight simulator game. You were able to choose a military jet loaded with fuel and weapons and shoot down other player's aircraft.
Soon arcade games became popular such as Pong and Pac Man, but they were rather inferior to the games of today, as were the flight simulation games. At the time, though, they seemed highly advanced and they created the baseline for future games.
Finally, in the early 1980's, video game consoles started to gain popularity and games like Donkey Kong and Zelda were big hits. Other games were created that ushered in the modern style of 3D graphics, but most visual effects still looked pretty 2D and movement was not very natural.
The games consoles were soon followed by gaming computers with sounds cards. Game controllers and joysticks began to be sold with the systems to allow for more realistic action. As computer graphics continued to improve, the flight simulator game manufacturers were able to replicate the detailing of both the inside and outside of the various planes that were available.
Soon there were developments in the ability to provide a distant focus point for the pilot of the flight simulator game. With the use of a curved mirror and wide angle display equipment, a distant focal point representing the horizon made the view much more life like.
One issue that was resolved soon after was the fact that most computers didn't have enough memory to allow the movement of objects to flow smoothly. The improvements in graphics forced computer companies to find a way to increase the computing power. The increase of band width offered by internet providers helped to avoid the jerky motion with video delivery.
As video gaming has become more and more popular, controllers have been added to give more realism. Joysticks, yokes and rudder pedals offered a whole new challenge to the flight simulator game, but it also made it much more enjoyable. The good thing is that you can still just use your computer keyboard to play a game too, if you can't afford to buy other controllers.
Online play opened up a new way to hook up with other pilots playing the same game, and fly in formation. It also allows you to update software and add new downloads more quickly and easily.
With technology constantly changing, the realism of the flight simulator game will no doubt keep improving along with it. Soon, you will not be able to tell the difference between what is virtual reality and what is real.

Apple Remote Desktop is the best way to manage the Mac computers on your network. Distribute software, provide real-time online help to end users, create detailed software and hardware reports, and automate routine management tasks all without leaving your desk. Featuring Automator actions, Remote Spotlight search, and a new Dashboard widget, Apple Remote Desktop 3 makes your job easier than ever.
Apple Remote Desktop 3, the award-winning desktop management system for Mac OS X has more than 50 new features that deliver improvements in software distribution, asset management, and remote assistance. Apple Remote Desktop 3 offers a wide range of high performance features, including lightning-fast Spotlight searches across multiple systems; more than 40 Automator actions for easy automation of repetitive tasks; a Dashboard widget that provides quick and convenient observation of remote systems; and AutoInstall for automatically updating software on mobile systems once they return to the network.
First-class upgrades
Installing software or updates to your network has never been this easy. Take an existing package, either from Apple or a third party, and simply use the Install Package to copy and install on your client computers. And it works with custom install packages as well. Apple Remote Desktop will alert your systems users to upgrades and even restart machines remotely.
AutoInstall allows you to stage software on a Task Server, which then takes care of distributing the packages for installation on client computers. You can even set a schedule for installation to occur at a time that is most convenient for your organization. And if a computer is not on the network, the Task Server will keep track and automatically install the package once the system is online.
Automation for your Macs
Those time-consuming administrative tasks will become a thing of the past, thanks to the addition of Automator actions in Apple Remote Desktop 3. To use Automator actions, all you need to do is drag and drop the actions to construct a workflow.
More than 40 Automator actions are included with Apple Remote Desktop 3, which you can apply to set desktop pictures, Finder preferences, Energy Saver preferences, default time zones, and more.
No need to make house calls
The screen-sharing features of Apple Remote Desktop allow you to provide immediate help to remote users, saving time for both of you. Dont want your admin tasks to be seen? No problem. Turn on the new Curtain Mode to block the local users view of their desktop. This is perfect when youre updating a public display. Youll have full control of the system, but your work will be hidden from view.
Administrators can also use the Remote Desktop widget to observe and obtain access to the computers under their control. And if you need to move files or folders to a single computer, the new, easy-to-use Remote Drag-and-Drop copy function makes the job a snap. You can also copy and paste between local and remote systems no extra steps necessary.
Reporting for duty
The new Remote Spotlight search takes advantage of one of the most powerful features of Mac OS X. Now you can perform lightning-fast, user-specified searches on remote client systems. Files from the results can be copied to the administrator system for reporting.
Apple Remote Desktop also makes it easy to compile reports on application usage, history, inventory, and more. Hardware reports gather more than 200 attributes about networked Mac OS X systems, while software reports collect information on 16 file system attributes. Inventory reports can be gathered even from mobile systems not connected to the network, and results are stored in the included SQL database for fast access.

Morgan heads Foxes to victory
Wes Morgan scored his first Leicester goal as the Foxes got their Championship campaign under way with a 2-0 win at home to Peterborough.
Last Updated: 18/08/12 5:17pm
Newly-appointed captain Morgan, signed from East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest in January, celebrated taking over the armband from the departed Matt Mills over the summer by powering home a header early in the second half.
It was Leicester's first real chance of the game after Posh had dominated possession in a largely uneventful first half without troubling home goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Substitute Andy King made sure of all three points for Nigel Pearson's side with a superb strike from the edge of the box with 15 minutes remaining.
Both managers saw their sides win 4-0 in the Capital One Cup in midweek and named unchanged teams.
Foxes boss Pearson handed full league debuts to defender Ritchie De Laet, midfielder Matty James and striker Jamie Vardy while another summer signing - midfielder Anthony Knockaert - was on the bench.
Goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik and midfielder Michael Bostwick made their league bows for Peterborough.
Posh manager Darren Ferguson gave teenager Kgosi Ntlhe his first Championship start, with the 18-year-old lining up at left-back.
Former Manchester United trainee De Laet headed over an early chance from Ben Marshall's free-kick.
Peterborough enjoyed some good spells of possession inside the opening half-hour but they were wasteful with the final ball in the last third.
Centre-half Shaun Brisley almost undid their good work when he presented the ball to Vardy midway inside his own half.
Former Fleetwood forward Vardy broke into the box and squared a pass to strike partner Jermaine Beckford but defender Gaby Zakuani got there first and Olejnik had to react brilliantly to stop his skipper scoring an own goal.
Posh's first shot of any note came four minutes into the second half. Paul Taylor beat Liam Moore to a ball down the left and cut inside before hammering in a shot that Schmeichel beat away to safety.
Morgan gave Leicester the lead after 51 minutes.
The big centre-half powered a header in off the underside of the bar after connecting perfectly with Marshall's corner from 10 yards out.
The Foxes had their tails up now. De Laet crossed from the right but Beckford could not quite climb high enough and Vardy headed over.
Olejnik then had to produce an excellent save to deny Vardy after he tried to lob the Posh keeper from a ball over the top.
Leicester's second goal came after 75 minutes.
Vardy showed great determination to carry the ball away from Brisley down the left before playing an intelligent cut-back towards the edge of the box where King arrived and steered a first-time, side-foot shot into the top corner.
Peterborough substitute Emile Sinclair could have got the visitors back into the game almost immediately but he shot straight at Schmeichel after scampering into space behind the Foxes backline.

1176 AE Great compressor on Bass and drums
Since I read that the daft punk used a lot the 1176 and LA2-A Hardware for their last Album Random access memory, I wanted to get the similar vibe with some air space and live feel on a disco track.
I used the 1176 AE mainly on bass and Drums, it adds some depth, warmth, space, air, a little bit of pleasant noise and space (similar to a natural subtle reverb or some analog hardware breath).
I wasn't really impressed by the the 1176 LN or SE but when I tried the 1176 AE, I understood why so many studio are using it. It just works so nicely I can only recommend you to test it and forget the LN and SE version.
On bass I combine it to the LA2-A + pulteq EQ-1A + Bx Saturator
On Drums, I combine it with the pulteq EQ-1A + Bx Saturator
C. Byrne
Wow! Just Wow!
These things clamp down on anything! Well worth the price. Love the 2:1 ratio on the AE version.
J. Oorebeek
Best 1176 plugin around
I have had the 1176 classic limiter collection for about a month now. I could not be more impressed with how these units react. I love how you can turn off the compression all together and drive a signal giving it some dirt. Also I love that you can do different combinations of ratios. Each one has a distinct thing that it does. Put on one of these in 12:1 ratio followed by an LA-2A silver in comp mode on your vocal and you'll never go back. This is way ahead of any other 1176 plugin I've tried. Great job UA! Keep up the good work.
A. Picciafuochi
in short: do not try them, otherwise you will buy them immediately!
C. Allrich
Can't Be Beat.
Should be known, I've been a Waves user for YEARS, and had I known better I would have trashed their emulations of the 1176 for these a long while ago!
I can not stress enough the night and day difference in applying these 3 instead. There's none of that "make-believe" noise floor that Waves thinks we need in our mixes, and the clarity and punch is mind blowing.
I used to harp on UAD for being too expensive, needing their own DSP power, and now I can not live without my UAD arsenal. I've thrown the rest away, Waves, IK Nomad, there's no comparison.
F. Cardoso
Doesn't sound like a plug in
These emulations sound like real hardware compressors. Effortlessly gives power and character to vocals. I'm amazed at how far you can push these and still have them sound great.
F. Fraikin
I was skeptical
But waow you guys did a great job on this one! This is a great buy! I have the original plug 1176 from UAD that I didn't use that much.
This one is on a totally different league especially the rev A my favourite on vocals, bass, guitars, drums. I'm a happy owner of an original UREI and the way this one reacts is very close, in fact it's like having a second (heuu many second ones lol ) at hand with a slightly different colour (which is good) it's so "real" good job UA I wish you could do the same with ShadowHills, I do have one (Hardware mastering compressor) that I use every single day and your emu is way too far from the original, bad advertisement for the hardware…in fact I am using the plug, but only as a recall "sheet" ;-)
O. Vehert
too much comp will kill you!!
when i use another 1176 plugin from another brand, i never reach this quality of emulation... less cpu and it will be perfect!!
K. Dudley
Most accurate plug yet!!
I have the actual hardware unit and these are scary close. I still prefer the hardware most of the time (not all) but just by a hair. At this point I use the hardware on the way in and use the plugin during mixing. Best of both worlds. For how low the price on these are its a no brainer. Best soft 1176 on the market
M. Gustafson
Best Yet!
You think you have a real 1176 sound out of other manufacturers plugins? Not even close. These are the reel deal. the price for 3 revisions of this workhorse may be the best part. You owe it to yourself to try them.
S. Hitchell
Authentic emulations to the core.
I very seldom find myself so engaged by software but with emulations like these it's hard to deny the unique tonality and characteristics software bring to the mixing equation. I'll still always be a bit of a push over when it comes to hardware units but with plugin's like these it's no wonder people are thinking inside the box.
With love from Echospace.
Stephen Hitchell
C. Cote
So many uses...
These compressors really do live up to the hype. Each compressor has a distinct sound, but they all work great on a variety of instruments. Recently, I used the AE with a 2:1 ratio on my drum buss, the Black Rev E on the guitar bus, and the Rev A on individual bass tracks. These comps really added punch, clarity and space to my tracks. Fantastic job on these compressors, they are outstanding! Thanks UA!
B. Rotella
Amazing!!! One of the best ever!! So impressed with the sound of these plugins... I can't express enough how real these are! Get them if you don't have them yet one of the best investments you will make!!
J. Manes
Great go to compressors
From drum subs, to Vx, go to digital plugs with analog feel and sound
J. Laurendeau
1176's that sound like 1176's
These are definitely some serious emulations that really capture the essence of the 1176. The attack settings seem to react much more similarly to hardware 1176's (the old 1176ln plugin never did in my opinion)not to mention the distortion characteristics are really close to the real thing. You get three unique compressors in this package, and though they are all 1176's they all sound very different.
S. Beckham
Everyone should try a threesome!
They all have unique flavor, The price is right, and most of all you'll use them ALL THE TIME!
For in your face vocals, and slammin Drums....ALL BUTTONS IN!
Seven Beckham; A Moth Aglow
J. Martin
Amazing bundle, definitely my favourite software compressors. Because I think the original UAD 1176 plug is pretty decent, I was a little hesitant to even try the new versions because I didn't think that they would worth the time. Totally wrong, they use a ton of processing power, but are well worth it. So good in fact, I literally traded my EL8X Distressor for an 1176LN reissue!
Best UAD plugin, followed by the Studer and the EMT 140.
A. Medina
Amazing sound
It's work very well for me!!!......................
M. Zimolag
good for vocal
My first use of this plugin is the path of vocal
I'm very happy
delicate setting adds color that is difficult to describe
M. Rey
Major upgrade to my "bread & butters". The impact on my mixes were heard immediately. I use less vibe plugs overall as I'm dialing that in with all the options I have available in the 1176 collection. The AE is a great plug for EVERYTHING, just clean gain. The Rev A is great for adding warmth & heat & the LN Rev E is just your classic 1176 that grabs like we remember them. I want for nothing now that I have the 1176 collection in my arsenal. I feel like I can do an entire mix with them alone. The UAD Fairchild still gets some love & the excellent Softube FET gets used for parallels & backing tracks, but the heavy lifting duties, I know what I'm choosing first. Be careful with that demo button, once you hear them...

WASHINGTON -- It's halftime for the season of corporate earnings reports, and investors are in desperate need of a locker-room pep talk.
Before Alcoa reported its third-quarter results Oct. 9, marking the unofficial start of earnings season, financial analysts were predicting that profit and revenue for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 would be lower than the year before.
That would have been the first decline by either measure since the third quarter of 2009, just after the Great Recession ended.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the pity party: Some of the biggest and most important U.S. companies started reporting revenue growth and raising their guidance.
The quarter was no blockbuster, to be sure, but by midweek analysts were reassessing their grim predictions. Halfway through earnings season, both winning streaks _ profit and revenue _ are on track to survive another quarter.
There are still plenty of reasons to worry about corporate America.
Sales are hurting because of weaker demand from Europe, which faces a recession, and China, where economic growth has slowed. A stronger dollar means sales overseas translate into lower revenue on the books back in the United States.
Above all, analysts worry about weaker revenue. Net income grew for 11 straight quarters partly because so many companies cut costs, borrowed money more cheaply and employed other short-term strategies to boost their profit margins.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, for example, net income for the S&P 500 leapt 37 percent, but revenue increased only 10 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ, a research firm.
That gap can't survive, analysts say, and revenue growth is starting to weaken. Companies will need to beef up sales to keep increasing their earnings, and that takes stronger customer demand.
And yet: The winning streak appears likely to continue.
With stronger reports piling up at midweek, it appeared that S&P 500 earnings will increase 1.1 percent from last year, says Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ. Before earnings season started, his firm predicted a 2 percent decline.
At first, corporate reports appeared to be as bad as many feared.
Alcoa said China's economic slowdown was reducing demand for its aluminum. Energy and commodity companies were similarly downbeat. Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris announced layoffs and spending cuts, saying weak sales in China and Europe are contributing to a "slow-growth and volatile world."
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 243 points on Tuesday, its third-biggest decline of the year, after more comments about weak demand from DuPont, 3M, UPS and Xerox.
Then on Wednesday, Aflac, the life-insurance company known for its nasal-voiced spokesduck, posted higher net income on double-digit revenue growth. Boeing, among the biggest U.S. exporters, reported revenue growth and raised its expectations for the rest of the year. US Airways said net income and revenue rose during peak travel season.
"I think it's intriguing that everyone thinks earnings are falling off the cliff," Stovall says. He expects earnings and revenue to improve by the end of the year and into 2013. After this year's weakness, he says, companies will have an easier time showing improvement in next year's results.
Stock traders appeared to agree that earlier fears were overplayed. In the three days after Tuesday's plunge, the Dow barely budged, posting a net gain of just 4.7 points.
"All in all, I'm a tad encouraged by the earnings season, and the sense that we are seeing more people beat expectations," said David Brown, CEO and chief market strategist for Sabrient Systems, a research firm. As of this week, 62 percent of the companies had reported third-quarter earnings that were better than analysts' expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ. That's right in line with the 10-year average. That's another signal that this quarter, while weaker than the most recent few, isn't quite wreaking havoc on U.S. companies.
None of which means that corporate America is in the clear. There's a big difference between less terrible and good.
Strong performance by financial companies is boosting the average earnings growth. Many banks are benefiting from a temporary boom in mortgage refinancing. That can't last forever. Banks acknowledge that the number of qualified borrowers is already dwindling.
Companies that depend on global demand, like metals and energy companies, are reporting the weakest results.
"We're getting confirmation that the world is slowing through these earnings," says Stovall, who believes that U.S. companies can continue to grow modestly even in a period of weak economic growth.
Revenue will remain under pressure if current economic trends continue. The U.S. economy is growing at a sluggish 2 percent annual rate, the government said Friday. If growth remains slow, revenue gains will remain weak, analysts say.
The global economic slowdown, meanwhile, is threatening companies that rely on overseas markets. Businesses had relied on international sales to offset weak U.S. consumer demand. Europe's recessions and China's pullback are making that more difficult.
Last year, S&P 500 companies got 11.1 percent of their revenue from sales to European countries, according to data compiled by Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst with S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The problem is not confined to Europe. In all, companies generated 46.1 percent of their revenue from sales outside the U.S. The data include 252 companies that include such information in their financial disclosures.
It's difficult to say definitively whether U.S. companies that sell only domestically are doing better than those that operate overseas. But analysts and companies say anecdotally that it's harder to make a sale in recession-wracked Europe than in the slow-growth U.S.
Another challenge for multinationals: the almighty dollar. As it strengthens against other currencies, sales overseas translate into fewer dollars of revenue back home.
Coca-Cola told analysts that currency exchange rates sliced its operating income by 7 percent and its net revenue by 5 percent in the quarter. McDonald's said exchange rates reduced its per-share earnings by 8 cents to $1.43 per share. Both companies expect the drag to continue in this quarter, which ends Dec. 31.
Some traders see foreign-exchange adjustments as yet another way for companies to game their numbers or explain away weak performance.
"You definitely didn't hear anything when the dollar was falling about how it was juicing returns then," said Tim Courtney, chief investment officer at Exencial Wealth Advisors in Oklahoma City.
Longer-term investors can take comfort that the pullback is part of the regular ebb and flow of the business cycle, says Bernard Schoenfeld, senior investment strategist at Bank of New York Mellon Wealth Management in New York.
"They're not losses, they're just less growth," Schoenfeld says of the recent reports. "It's not unusual to have a pause this far into a recovery period."

NBC announced Tuesday that it will broadcast the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards live from the Nokia Theatre in L.A. on Aug. 25, a month earlier than usual and on a Monday rather than a Sunday.
The move to late August — the Emmys typically are broadcast just before the TV season officially starts in the third week of September — was expected in order to avoid a scheduling conflict with "Sunday Night Football," which usually begins airing in early September. Such a change is not unprecedented: The last two times the network aired the Emmys, in 2006 and 2010, it did so in August.
However, the switch to Monday night is more unusual, given that most of the big-name awards shows, including the Oscars, Grammys and Golden Globes, are broadcast on Sundays when the number of available viewers is typically larger. According to NBC, the last time the Emmys were broadcast on a Monday night was in 1976.
Emmys 2013: | Red carpet| Emmys presenters | L.A. Times photo booth | Top nominees | Recap | Winners timeline
So why the switch?
If NBC had moved the Emmy Awards to Sunday, Aug. 24, the show would go head-to-head with MTV's popular Video Music Awards. NBC may also be leaving the evening free in case of a preseason NFL game.
As for the possibility of moving the Emmys to a Monday in September, that would mean breaking with a long-standing industry tradition that the Emmy Awards take place the weekend following the Creative Emmy Awards, which are already locked into Aug. 16.

About Josh
Finally, my desire for Google Glass is justified!
I work at Charter, and I can tell you we absolutly will pay OT to make sure the queue is emptied. Of course, we're open 'til midnigt and all our call centers share a queue so it's more common to get OT by having a long call at the end of the night.
But if Obama tells congress to fix the problem, then he can pretty much assure nothing will get fixed and still claim to be the good guy.
I'm pretty sure communism has been a valid insult since at least the 80's.
At least you don't think that little blue E is the internet. The E stands for Evil.
Every time you see the commercial?
Since there's no one to claim that last editor's choice, but I made it the first word, I'm just going to go ahead and claim the position of Techdirt Editor.
So, Mike, when do I start getting paid?
Can I have some ice cream?
Charter dosn't require contracts, and it's doubling speed but not changing price. We're the T-Mobile of broadband.
Google is also working on getting bad drivers to stop driving, so as soon as we can legalize self driving cars we'll be set.
Leave it to USTR to want the transparency of 2 way mirror.
It's a good thing that kid didn't have any snow shaped like a gun or the officer would have shot him to protect himself.
You know, I was all set and ready to buy an Xbox One, but now I'm not so sure...
I've got dibs on "while using an ink based writing utensil in conjunction with a thin flat inscription medium".
Stop giving them ideas!
So you're saying that bill isn't Eshoo-in?
Charter has 30mbps (soon to be 60) for $54.99 if you get it unbundled. Too bad thier play for TWC fell through.
"typos in out post"? I see what you did there.
Have you seen some of the things on Netflix? That shit's far too extreme to allow into the general public.
So we can't hang them for supporting organized crime until they stop contributing to organized crime?
