For those of you who complain about reader comments, please research the Communications Decency Act or "CDA", 47 U.S.C. § 230. Because this important law is not well known, we want to take a moment to explain it, and how it protects M4 Research LLC and all of its members. For even further detail, please click here for a Wikipedia article which covers every aspect of the law.
Because the comments on WealthVault.net are authored by users of the site, we cannot be legally regarded as the "publisher or speaker" of the posts contained here, and hence are not liable for comments even if they contain false or inaccurate information.
The reason for this rule is simple. Websites cannot possibly monitor the accuracy of the huge volume of information which their users may choose to post. If a disgruntled plaintiff were permitted to hold a website liable for information that the site did not create, this would stifle free speech as fewer and fewer sites would be willing to permit users to post anything at all!! For an example, please refer to Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018, 1027-28 (9th Cir. 2003) ( "Making interactive computer services and their users liable for the speech of third parties would severely restrict the information available on the Internet". Therefore, Section 230 of the CDA sought to prevent lawsuits from shutting down websites and other services on the Internet.
In general, each and every lower federal district and federal appellate court that has construed the CDA has maintained that websites like WealthVault.net are immune from virtually every type of civil liability when the site has been sued based on information posted by a third party. See Doe v. America Online, Inc., 783 So.2d 1010 (Fl. 2001); Green v. America Online, 318 F.3d 465, 470 (3rd Cir. 2003) (noting that the CDA, "'precludes courts from entertaining claims that would place a computer service provider in a publisher's role,' and therefore bars 'lawsuits seeking to hold a service provider liable for its exercise of a publisher's traditional editorial functions – such as deciding whether to publish, withdraw, postpone, or alter content.'"); Carafano v. Metrosplash.com, Inc., 339 F.3d 1119 (9th Cir. 2003); Schneider v. Amazon.com, Inc., 31 P.3d 37 (Wash.App. 2001); Doe v. GTE Corp., 347 F.3d 655 (7th Cir. 2003); Zeran v. America Online, Inc., 129 F.3d 327 (4th Cir. 1997); Blumenthal v. Drudge, 992 F. Supp. 44 (D. D.C. 1998).

Juvenile Diabetes

Hi I am new to the board and my daughter just got diagnosed with Diabetes I. She is 13 and this came as a real shocker to all of us, I took her to the doctor yesterday under the assumption all this was is a urinary tract infection but the lab results came back with soaring high blood sugars. We caught it early but this is a total life changer. Thanks for any thoughts, advice or stories. Jeanne
|Tue, 05-07-2013 - 11:16pm
Welcome to the board. I don't have specific advise to give you right now. But I do have a comfortable place for you to come and ask questions. You and your DD have started down a confusing road but one with lots of hope. I hope you are immediately being referred to a diabetic educator and hopefully to an endocrinologist who specializes in juvenile diabetes. So please come back here and post as you know what is expected of you and your daughter and please tell us how she is doing. At the momemnt most of us around here are type 2 diabetics but we do know something about type 1's.

With neither AL East evil empire (Yanks/Bosox) qualifying for the postseason for the first time in the wild-card era, this will be a fascinating October where ratings are concerned, Yes, the Dodgers (and to a lesser extent the Angels) will help, and it appears the Tigers and Cardinals, two Midwestern stalwarts, will make the playoffs, but can the Nationals and Orioles -- deep and talented teams with relatively little star power -- draw eyeballs beyond the B-W Parkway? The jury is out.
D.C. and L.A. both are beautiful. I'm only sorry Philadelphia's 30th Street Station didn't make the list.
OK -- let's assume the Big Ten takes in Georgia Tech, Virginia and North Carolina. Who gets to be #18?
Delany and athletic directors would probably prefer Florida State.
But the presidents have final say, and they'd almost certainly prefer Duke.
@farmerl21 Teams that park certain programs in other conferences -- Kentucky and South Carolina in C-USA for men's soccer, West Virginia in the MAC for men's soccer, Missouri in the MAC for wrestling -- are rarely national title contenders in said sports. Putting a team in a different, lower-level conference conveys lower status to potential recruits. North Carolina, Virginia and Duke are more often than not ranked in men's soccer and men's lacrosse, among other sports, and parking it away from its principal conference would probably weaken their programs. (Neither Virginia Tech nor N.C. State field men's lacrosse teams, and neither are ACC men's soccer powers. Put them in the SEC, and VT and NCSU would likely move men's soccer and wrestling to the MAC or C-USA with minimal harm.)
@local37220 The SEC's chief problem with UNC and Duke is that it lacks several sports for both those schools (and UVa as well) -- men's soccer, wrestling, men's and women's lacrosse. Kentucky and South Carolina can park their men's soccer programs in C-USA (just as WVU is playing men's soccer in the MAC). As UVa, UNC and Duke are regularly in the top 20 of the Directors' Cup, putting those sports in a lower-level conference would not be palatable. NCSU and Virginia Tech field soccer and wrestling, too, but they rank somewhat lower as overall programs. VT and N.C. State would be good, solid adds for the SEC, if they lack the allure of Chapel Hill and Durham.
Can't see the SEC expanding to 18 -- too difficult for football scheduling. 20 might be a possibility with four pods of 5, but could Slive get there without breaking the notorious "gentlemen's agreement"?
Delany could go to 18 by taking UVa, UNC, Duke and GT. I still maintain in an either-or, Duke definitely chooses the Big Ten over the SEC, regardless of what Chapel Hill does.
@KyleTaft 18 is far more difficult for the SEC than for the Big Ten, primarily for football scheduling reasons. If UNC, UVa and Duke wish to enter as a three-team unit, the SEC would have some gut-wrenching choices to make over who becomes #18 (VT or NCSU?), divisional setup, etc.
@edelswick @SouthernBoiSB Syracuse recently lost AAU status for weak research. That probably rules it out as a Big Ten candidate.
This is essentially substituting SU for Georgia Tech (which the SEC has no interest in).

We had a wonderful stay at the Palmetto Villa on North Caicos. The location was perfect - it was a few feet to the beach, an easy walk to grocery shopping, beach bars (very important) and restaurants. We took long walks on endless fine, white sand beaches. The Villa was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners are on premises and Karen was always available for any questions or needs.

Opportunities for Students
The Reiff Center's programs and academic offerings provide various ways to study genocide, human rights violations and conflict while exploring ways to combat these global problems. These include the following:
- GOVT 329: International Human Rights
- GOVT 322: Conflict and Peace Studies
- GOVT 410: Ethnic Conflict and Nationalism
- The future minor in international human rights and conflict resolution
- The Peace Workshop
- Opportunities for service learning and internships
- Conferences and public events
- Undergraduate research - Borgenicht Fellowship
- The Santoro Prize
- Learning beyond the classroom, including summer projects and study abroad
The Reiff Center Interns support the Center by organizing events, researching topics related to the Reiff Center's mission, posting on the Reiff Center Blog, and engaging in outreach and marketing. To learn more contact the Reiff Center Director, Dr. Tina Kempin Reuter.
Find out more about the Spring 2014 Reiff Center Interns.
The first annual Santoro Prize was awarded to senior political science and history double-major Kerry Campbell on April 14, 2014. The $1,000 Prize is given for the best scholarly or creative student project related to the Reiff Center's mission, which is "to raise awareness of the horrors of genocide, human rights violations, and conflict and to study ways in which to overcome these scourges by examining the international and national application of human rights, conflict resolution, and peace studies." For the 2013-14 contest, we had almost 20 submissions, which were reviewed by a selection committee in a blind review process.
This year's winning paper was written on the important role President Jimmy Carter had on the negotiations of the Camp David Accords, brokering peace between Israel and Egypt. The paper shows how President Carter's understanding of the complexities in the Middle East and his persistence in bringing a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict paved the way for a treaty that provides the basis for a Middle Eastern peace process to this day. The description of each of the main negotiators' motives and the analysis of the circumstances leading up to the two historical weeks at Camp David are particularly intriguing. It serves as a reminder of how much of peace making depends on personalities, timing, and flexibility. The paper is well-researched, well-written and an important contribution to the Reiff Center's conflict resolution focus.
The Reiff Center staff congratulates Kerry on this excellent paper!

Very nice

This elevated feeder is great! It adjusts and grows with your large breed dog. Also, the bowls sit down into a hole in the base so no food or water is able to get stuck down inside between the bowls and the base like the plastic ones. It easily wipes clean and comes with nice stainless steel bowls.
Pros: Great for big dogs
Cons: pricey

34-inch Expanding Tension Mount Pet Gate 153 160
Best Purchase We are so happy with this gate. It is great quality, easy to install and looks great. Love the double locking feature. Highly recommend. Thank you!!! November 3, 2011
Better than imagined I am so happy I purchased two of the pet gates. They look like it is part of the design of the house and fully functional for our needs as well. My two dogs are contained and happy. October 25, 2011
High quality We love this gate, we bought it to contain our Airdale from certain areas of our home. It is very heavy and not your ordinary kiddie gate. Very fashionable and will go well with your decor. October 21, 2011
Great purchase. Purchased this for doorway betweem kitchen and dining room. It looks great and is easy to open , which is nice, especially since this is a frequently used door. I would buy another if needed in the future. October 19, 2011
Absolutey Outstanding Bought this gate last month. The quality of materials and fit/finish blow the competitiion away. October 18, 2011
Best Looking Gate! Not only best looking but also very well made. I bought two for my new puppy. Put them together in no time at all and have received many compliments on how great looking they are. Really great quality (heavy)! October 18, 2011
Great Customer Service We purchased some items in 2009 from the Charlotte, NC store and we returned them at a later point, howver since we live in Maryland we took a store credit which was fine. The lady who helped me for this order was able to find the credit and expedite the Dog gates that I ordered. We love them. Thanks for the great customer service. April 2, 2011
Nice Gate Looks great, easy to install, works well. March 26, 2011
High quality - priced right Attractive, sturdy and well engineered. Gate actually closes automatically. Eliminates having to drill holes and permanently marring woodwork. Will come down when puppy is house broken. March 9, 2011
Stylish,functional dog gate This is the first gate that our dog has not found a way over or through. It is constructed of quality metal, easy to set up, and goes well with our decor. The self-closing mechanism is a bonus. February 11, 2011
Better Than Described Although our purchase of the 21" Pet Gate a couple years ago was a great purchase, this gate is the best ever. We use both gates for different reasons. The 34" gate is very easy use in areas people need access to. February 3, 2011
Great product We liked the first one and ordered a second one, Thanks February 3, 2011
Great All-Purpose Gate! This great is wonderful! It's very sturdy and has withstood some forceful pushes from our 90 pound lab without budging. We needed a good, strong gate that wouldn't be an eye sore and this one definitely does the job. The door feature is easy to use and doesn't compromise the structure at all... a must buy! January 24, 2011
Attractive, sturdy gate Even though I'd prefer not to have to have a gate at all, I'm glad that a fine looking gate like this was available. It's sturdy and as attractive as a gate can be for the money. I'm pleased with it and would purchase it again if I needed one for another doorway. The gate door swings both ways which is very convenient. January 21, 2011
A great product and a good price What a great gate! We had purchased the plastic gates years ago for our first puppy. But white plastic looks cheep and hard to get in and out of. I bought one to try out. After 4 hours of receiving and installation (less then 10min) I placed an order for three more! Most pet stores sell gates for around the same price that just wont stand up to the looks and style of these. January 19, 2011
Useful and elegant This gate is easy to assemble, easy to use and great for the elderly. No stepping over lower fences running the risk of tripping and falling. Looks great with any de'cor. The one con would be no extensions for larger openings without sacrificing the distance between rails to prevent smaller dogs from squeezing through the side panels. Still I'll be purchasing another one soon. January 13, 2011
A Must Have for your Dog This gate is functional and very sturdy. It is easy to open for the humans. My dog loves it too. She can set on the floor and watch us. I wish they made it for oversized areas. Well made. I would buy again. January 13, 2011
Heavy duty gate I purchased this product to keep the dog from entering part of the house. All the other gates he destroyed. When I received it, I found out it was better than expected. The dog has tried breaking the gate for weeks now and finally gave up. The gate is stronger than I expected. We like it alot. December 28, 2010
Much better than a baby gate! This is a nice stylish and functional gate, unfortunately it arrived damaged. Customer service was great about sending a new one. This gate matches the other free standing gates we have ordered from frontgate and they are all of excellent quality and work well. December 14, 2010
GREAT PURCHASE This gate is great! Looks nice and very functional. I just wish you offered one that expands up to 36" and i would buy another! very easy to put together...looks like it will last forever. December 9, 2010
Smart looking pet gate Looks nice. Works well. Fairly easy to assemble, but would have liked simple instructions or a diagram. November 16, 2010
good product I ordered the wrong size but loved the gate. saw one at a friends and thought it would be perfect for my stairs. November 3, 2010
pet gate very easy to assemble and classy looking. I bought another one after seeing it. October 19, 2010
Perfect dog gate! I have bought two of these! My small dogs are terrified of thunder storms and have been able to destroy/dismantle every imaginable gate as they run amuck when thunder booms. This gate keeps them safely confined. Also love the tiny door in the gate! September 30, 2010
Could be easier to assemble Friend's with master's degrees can't figure out the hardware that goes against the wall. I can't get it to be stable. If my husband hadn't thrown the box away accidentally, it would go back. It's beautiful, very good quality but hard to set up and down September 28, 2010
pet gate with door well constucted, door could be a little taller for using on stairs. September 14, 2010
I love this Pet Barrier This is the best pet barrier I have ever purchased. Excellent quality, my little monster cannot chew through his confinement, the gate is very attractive and gives the kitchen a sort of "bistro" look rather than just a pet gate. September 7, 2010
Great Gate!! Wonderful gate....it looks great and is super easy for my kids to use! Wish it came in a wider size... September 2, 2010
Works Great! Looks great! Perfectly matches my freestanding gate from Frontgate. Not hard to assemble. Very adaptable, so I expect I'll never have to buy another pet gate again! August 27, 2010
21" Expanding pet gate This gate is more beautiful than the catalog photo. The gate is a perfect size for my daschunds. It is well made and doesn't cheapen a space like a plastic gate might. Like all Frontate products this one is first-class. July 27, 2010

Two injured in Wallace Road motorcycle crash
Jun 15, 2013
News-Register Staff
DAYTON — Two people were injured as the result of a serious motorcycle crash about 7 p.m. Saturday south of Dayton in the 16250 block of Wallace Road, according to Yamhill Communications Agency radio traffic.
One victim reportedly sustained a broken leg. Another victim was unconscious but breathing. A Life Flight helicopter was requested. A second helicopter was also requested, but the estimated time of arrival was about 40 minutes from Longview, Wash., so it was decided to transport the patient by ambulance to Salem Hospital.
Wallace Road was closed in the area of Unionvale and Grand Island /Fairview roads while the crash was investigaged and the scene was cleared.
Details of the crash and names of the victims were not immediately available.

CONAN: I have to ask you, and this, as far as I know — I've read this line that he's attributed to in the taping and the process of filming that movie, you were said to have stayed awake for two days to get — be right for that part in the movie when you were supposed to have been awake for two days, the exhaustion, and he is supposed to have said, 'Why doesn't the dear boy just act?' Mr. HOFFMAN: Well, it's — you know, it's become, God knows, more than slightly distorted. I told that story to Time magazine and then they reinterpreted it because it made a better story. I was in New York shooting. My marriage, first marriage, was falling apart. It was a good excuse to party. And, you know, the reason to stay up for two days wasn't just because the character stayed up two days. It was because, you know, I was partying, it was Studio 54. And I rationalized it by saying, you know — so that was, I think, the deeper reason. When I got to Los Angeles and we continued filming and I was laughing, you know, talking to — I called him Lordage — talking to Lordage about this. We both laughed and he said—he says, 'Why don't you try acting?' But there was irony there, which I said in the Time interview, which unfortunately was left out. And Joan Plowright agreed with me later when she said to me, 'Larry, of all people,' she said, 'you know, didn't just act. He was always looking for new absolutely extraordinary ways and things to do a part in a way that no one had done it before. It went beyond acting.' For instance, she said in the last scene, or one of the last scenes of "Hamlet," where, you know, Hamlet starts murdering everybody, she said, 'Larry did a jump from 30 feet up, you know, on a scaffolding of the set. And if he didn't land right on this actor's shoulders, you know, they both would have broken their neck.' And he was — you know, he did — and I always felt that there was, according — you know, the version that Time did, you know, there would have been another Olivier standing there saying to Sir Laurence, 'Why don't you just try acting?' So that's the spirit in which he said it. I think the story, in a sense, does a disservice to him because he was adventurous. You know, acting didn't have boundaries to him.

In this study the technique of scanning densimetry was used to investigate the effects of lipophilin, an integral myelin protein, on the packing and phase transitional properties of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers. The technique was shown to give both precise and accurate measurement of the volume properties of the system.
The phase transition of phospholipids from gel to liquid crystalline state is accompanied by a 3% increase in volume. Lipophilin does not significantly alter the phase transition temperature of 24°C of the pure lipid. However, the phase transition is broadened when the lipophilin concentration is greater than 10% by weight. This can be explained by a decrease in the cooperativity of the lipid transition induce by the protein.
As the percent lipophilin incorporated into the lipid is increased, there is a reduction in the magnitude of the change in partial specific volume which occurs at phase transition temperature. From this data, the number of lipid molecules surrounding each lipophilin molecule was calculated. The calculated value of 19 lipid molecules per molecule of protein agrees well with estimates based on calorimetric results.
The partial specific volume of lipophilin has never been reported. In this study it was determined in a number of solvents at 20°C. The partial specific volume of lipophilin in water was 0.715 ± 0.004 ml/g while the partial specific volume in the buffer system employed was 0.732 ± 0.003 ml/g. These results are explained in terms of differences in the solvation of the protein.
Assuming no large change in the partial specific volume of the protein upon incorporation into lipid, the results demonstrate that lipophilin causes a reduction in the volume of dimyristoylphosphatidyl-choline bilayers below, above and near the phase transition temperature. This may be a fundamental property of boundary lipid that surrounds protein.

mrpooscratch replied to your post: On the First Amendment, the free market, and boycotts, part III
That's where I have to part ways with you thought-wise, I am a purist in the sense that if you run a business, you have to right to succeed or fail based on the free market. Like, MySpace.
Which has been the target of boycotts…
And I'm not arguing that businesses DON'T succeed or fail based on the free market, bro. Boycotts are an externality of the free market. An externality is simply "an effect of one economic agent's actions on another, such that one agent's decisions make another better or worse off by changing their utility or cost. Beneficial effects are positive externalities; harmful ones are negative externalities."
A company dumps massive amounts of pollution in a river, a company dumps massive amounts of money into anti-gay hate groups. In both cases, consumers in that free market place economic pressure on those companies to cease.
The free market does not protect business from the actions of unhappy consumers. Do you suggest the government ban boycotts? Well, besides being unconstitutional, that's government interference in a free market supposedly driven by consumers and producers.
mrpooscratch replied to your post: On the First Amendment, the free market, and boycotts, part II
Okay, lets look at it this way. I open a business, and put out a sign saying "no redheads allowed". Doesn't it stand to reason minus government interference, minus the boycotts, minus the protests, the free market will make my business fail?
Maybe. Or your business might fail because your product sucks. Or maybe angry redheads will organize a boycott. Or maybe it'll get hit by falling space debris that somehow didn't burn up in the atmosphere. The free market is unpredictable, and to simply rely on the hope that it will make a business fail because reasons is honestly lazy. If you disagree with a business' practices to the extent you're willing to no longer patronize them, why not take the action of telling others? The business does not exist in an apathetic bubble.
And for those bitching about government interference, it's called zoning. It's why the government can regulate whether or not a Dildo Emporium can open next to a preschool or if it must exist outside the city limits. If a business wants to open and that business engages in practices that my town has a law against, say non-discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender, that could conceivably fall under a government's right to deny business permits. Think about a bar wanting to open in a dry county.
mrpooscratch replied to your post: On the First Amendment, the free market, and boycotts
But if he held a position that wasn't "controversial", no one would say anything. That's the entire point. Instead of just, I don't like this place and won't eat there, you must try and shut them down. Don't like it? Don't go there. Problem solved.
"Don't like it? Don't go there" is the foundation of a boycott. And you're right — I wouldn't boycott him for hating butterflies.
Look… if you ate at a local Chick-Fil-A that gave you food poisoning, would you tell a few friends? Or one that was filthy? Would you mention that?
Extend that to systemic discrimination. If they would rather risk shutting down versus changing their corporate views, well, that's on them, isn't it? They've made a choice of their own free will in a free market.
A boycott's aim is to get a business to change their practices before they shut down, but if they're that stubborn and CHOOSE to run it into the ground in the face of opposition, maybe that business owner should take some personal responsibility and recognize it was their own filthy establishment or bigoted practices that caused it to close — after people chose not to patronize their place of business, of course.
You dig?
mrpooscratch replied to your post: Dear Conservatives who think they grasp this Jesus thing:
Um, it's about free speech and people not trying to destroy your business because they disagree with you, NOT homosexuality. Sorry you missed the point.
Nope, sorry. You're missing the point here. Just as the CEO has his freedom of speech, we have the freedom of speech to boycott his establishments and spread the word about his business practices. In fact, a boycott is a form of free speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to boycott in NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co. et al. 458 U.S. 886 (1982). The court held that the States have broad power to regulate general economic activities, but cannot prohibit peaceful political activity and organizing. This includes boycotts, which are protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments in regards to freedom of speech and association. Also, within the right to freely associate is the right to demonstrate and align one's self with the ideals of the association or business — or not.
Also, individuals are not responsible for business losses due a non-violent boycott — even if a business fails. The First Amendment freedoms in a boycott trump the business owner's success. Claiborne bears striking similarities to issues at the heart of the boycott of Chick-Fil-A. As the Court said in this case, petitioners, "through exercise of their First Amendment rights of speech, assembly, association, and petition, rather than through riot or revolution… sought to change a social order that had consistently treated them as second-class citizens."
Justice John Paul Stevens, who delivered the majority opinion, wrote:
"The boycott of white merchants at issue in this case took many forms. The boycott was launched at a meeting of a local branch of the NAACP attended by several hundred persons. Its acknowledged purpose was to secure compliance by both civic and business leaders with a lengthy list of demands for equality and racial justice. The boycott was supported by speeches and nonviolent picketing. Participants repeatedly encouraged others to join in its cause. Each of these elements of the boycott is a form of speech or conduct that is ordinarily entitled to protection under the First and Fourteenth Amendments."
Also, in Organization for a Better Austin v. Keefe, 402 U.S. 415 (1971), Chief Justice Warren Burger stated:
"The claim that the expressions were intended to exercise a coercive impact on respondent does not remove them from the reach of the First Amendment. Petitioners plainly intended to influence respondent's conduct by their activities; this is not fundamentally different from the function of a newspaper. Petitioners were engaged openly and vigorously in making the public aware of respondent's real estate practices. Those practices were offensive to them, as the views and practices of petitioners are no doubt offensive to others. But so long as the means are peaceful, the communication need not meet standards of acceptability." [citations omitted]
In other words, even if the goal of the boycott is coercive action against a business entity, the boycott is protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments as long as it remains non-violent.
Now, beyond the constitutionality of the boycott, isn't this how the free market is supposed to work? For example, I don't like the business practices or views of Shop X, and they refuse to change their practices — say, puppy punching for the lulz. I hate puppy punching because it's hurtful and unnecessary for the business to function. So I organize a boycott. Shop X refuses to quit punching puppies, and eventually closes because others decided of their own volition to stop patronizing the shop.
Diner Y's owner holds racist beliefs which he voices on community radio. So I organize a boycott. Diner Y closes because people refuse to eat at a place that endorses bigotry.
Chick-Fil-A's owner actively supports discrimination against GLBTQ people via his free speech (his words and money). So I organize a boycott. The free market has yet to decide on Chick-Fil-A's fate.
The U.S. Constitution is a beautiful thing.
Get it?

18,000? Did you read the post from Radio Info?
"To all Traffic Managers: The information below applies to your Premiere Radio Networks commercial inventory. More than 350 different advertisers sponsor the programs and services provided to your station on a barter basis."
That's roughly 25-30% of advertisers asking not to have spots run during prime-time hours. Enough advertisers have left Rush that his show had five minutes of dead air and PSAs on Friday.
But sure, 18,000. I'm sure Rush and his fans would like to believe that hyperbole. Whatever comforts you at night, y'know?

Todd White -- a former lead artist for "SpongeBob SquarePants" -- claims a gallery owner made a fortune by copying his precious works ... and now White says he has hard proof of the rip-off.
White filed a federal lawsuit against Margaret Howell last week accusing her of making "dozens of unauthorized copies" -- and selling them for, potentially, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
White's legal team provided the images below -- which they claim shows how Howell illegally copied one of Todd's pieces. They allege the "fake" was sold for several thousands of dollars.
White is suing Howell and The Gallery HB -- in Huntington Beach, CA -- for more than $5 million in damages.
Howell actually fired the first shot in this legal war when she sued White ... claiming he sent thugs to force her to sign an agreement returning his artwork and copyrights. Howell's attorney has said she only signed "out of fear for her life."
White denies that accusation -- and his lawsuit specifically asks the court to declare the signed agreement valid.
"[Howell] sued White... claiming he sent thugs to force her to sign an agreement returning his artwork and copyrights. Howell's attorney has said she only signed "out of fear for her life."
Some people do consider lawyers to be thugs. (just kidding, Harvey! I love lawyers! ;-D )
Howell deserves to be sued, and should give back any money she made, as well as her incredibly awful forgeries.
She's a thief, plain and simple. The nerve of this woman to bring up a lawsuit first, when she's the one committing a crime! She should have to pay any legal fees White incurred from that.
I thought that a kid had drawn Spongebob all these years. I wouldn't admit it if I was him. Some people make crazy amounts of money for little to no effort at all. Just Saying...
P.S. Draw a sponge that doesn't look like a sponge, now that would be a sight to behold!
Draw a sponge that doesn't look like a sponge, now that would be a sight to behold!I am a 28 years old doctor, mature and beautiful.and now I am seeking a good man who can give me real love , so i got a username Lindasunny2002 on--a'ge'l'es's'da'te.c óm--.it is the first and best club for y'ounger women and old'er men, or older women and y'ounger men,to int'eract with each other. Maybe you wanna ch'eck 'it out or tell your friends!
The fake looks like a crappy quickie doodle copy of the original, just less detail and looks more rushed. It looks pretty obvious she hired a crappy artist to copy it and looks like she tried to pass it off as the original. Kinda like those bootleg images you see of like donald duck on chinese knockoffs, except in this case trying to pass it off as the real thing. Don't buy the story of being forced to hand back the rights. More like he discovered the crap she was pulling and tried to talk to her about ceasing the crap
Ones the original and one looks like a poor knockoff passed as the real deal.She couldn't get the image more convincingly? Seriously did she just roughly sketch it herself? Probably thought she could get away with it in any case. This wasn't some small amounts this was thousands of dollars and being passed off as original. I suspect by rushing to sue him she thought she would throw him off guard and possibly deter him. Court will probably end up seeing the bad forgeries and make her pay.
As a Todd White Collector, I have 5 fakes in my home. I cannot believe that someone like Howell, could do this to the Artist much less to the collectors. I hope the legal system will come through for Mr. White and Howell will never own a art gallery again.
I would rather draw it myself and save the money. If i were to invest in art it would not be from a cartoonist. I prefer the works of great artists who's art have real impact. this just says thirsty slut to me. But to each his own.
LOL He brought hired thugs to come down on her??? He's a former cartoonist for Tiny Toons and Spongebob. Thats rich! Amazed he found a career afterwords as a respected artist though. It was probably more a argument and the gallery owner panicked and decided to do some misdirection by suing first. Its obvious that the fake doesn't resemble the original.
Hope the gallery owner pays,doubt they will shut down. Will probably argue misunderstanding or claim it was given a faked TW image. Anything to save their public face. Seriously doubt they will go down reputation wise for this one. Its not exactly Sothebys,etc trying to pass off a forged old world master. Small gallery sells forged cartoonist prints isn't front pages news; well at least on TMZ it is.
Couldn't they have at least gotten a better looking forgery? Its not exactly a picasso or anywhere near as complex. Looks like something exactly a cartoonist would doodle on a napkin. He gets paid how much for this?? damn i should be an artist
Well I can tell you that Todd White's painting are awesome and there is a story behind each painting he does. I don't own any myself, but one day I hope too. Miss Peggy had NO right to copy his work. My god does she has no shame. That's the problem with some of these weathly people, they think they can do anything. I hope they put it to her, she needs to pay for what she did. Shame on you Miss Peggy.
Yet TMZ has said nothing about the guy who claims to be Joe Lieberman's nephew stealing art from hundreds of artists and passing most of it off as his own and selling prints for up to $800 a piece.
the whole point is once again an artist is getting peeled by a gallery and the sad truth is no one gives a ****. this piggy was scanning, printing and signing as well as notes to clients on the back. This is a federal case and no doubt she will go to prison. Congrats to WHITE for standing up for artist and not folding like most would.
FYI, to those following the saga of the Sponge Bob artist and the robbery at the Gallery HB ... here is word from a reliable legal eagle that works for OC: HB police reports and recommends the case be tried by the OC DA as a CRIMINAL CASE with counts including robbery, assault and several FELONY counts against the suspects !!!!
Thanks erik for pointing out the below. It appears their is enough evidence to support Ms Howell's claims according to the police. Such a shame when Mr White was having such success. Remember O.J.?

So much for your sources Legal Eagle. The police investigated and found no truth to the wild claims. Maybe your insider will have news of the false police report charge to be filed against this looney woman who also is aa admitted thief by the way

Nonmember observer status is the lowest level of full membership with the U.N. President Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine has requested an upgrade to this status, which could add weight to Palestinian claims for a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The official news agency of the Palestinian Authority says Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has set a date for seeking nonmember observer status at the U.N.
Wafa quoted Abbas on Monday as saying the Palestinians will request to upgrade their status on November 29.
The status could add weight to Palestinian claims for a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war from Jordan. Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005.
Palestinians hope to use the status to join additional U.N. bodies, such as the International Criminal Court, where they could attempt to prosecute Israel.
Israel and the U.S. oppose to the move, saying Palestinians should negotiate their statehood via peace talks and not conduct unilateral moves.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama phoned Abbas asking him to abandon the bid.

DAHER confirms its double European certification CDI-mpc
Le Havre, January 2011 – DAHER is a major player in the transport of chemical products: Its Le Havre based Chemical Transportation Department combines tank container operating and freight forwarding activities. Already among the first ones to get the triple certification for quality (ISO 9001), Environment (ISO 14001) and Security (OHSAS 18001), DAHER is engaged to progress into all QSSE aspects.
In 2007, DAHER Transport & Logistics Department for Chemicals was audited by the CDI – Chemical Distribution Institute – for Tank Container and Freight Forwarder activities with results of more than 96% for both questionnaires. These audits are equivalent to SQAS questionnaires in road transportation for these multimodal transport activities. End 2010, after renewal of these 2 IMPCAS (International Marine Packed Cargo Audit Scheme), the results are as follow on the same perimeter:
Freight Forwarding,
Final notation: 98,61 %
Tank Container Operator,
Final notation: 98,65 %
These results show again the progress of DAHER's involvement in QSSE matters at all steps of the Company. Moreover, the IMPCAS integrates the « Responsible Care »® policy and applies to this World-wide Charter. For DAHER, this is a new step which is a key element of involvement into Sustainable Development, in partnership with all Supply Chain actors.

Geneva 2009: Swiss Misses keep standing in front of our cameras
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Mar 4th, 2009 at 8:02PM
Every year we board our flights to the Geneva Motor Show after telling our significant others (wives, fiances, imaginary girlfriends) that we're going for the cars. We might even believe it when we say it, too, but then we get here and batting eyes, pouting lips and mile-long legs keep getting in the way of our cameras. We'd ask them to step out of the frame, but, well... that would just be rude and we were raised better than that. (Some of us were, anyway.) So it may not help us on the home front, but here is who we met at this year's show. Bonus: follow the jump to see who we met at last... Read More

According to the latest star news, THE SITUATION has been banned from being his usual guido self in rehab.
So none of this…
As previously reported, Mike Sorrentino aka The Situation is currently in rehab to help him overcome his problem with prescription drugs.
Unfortunately, The Sitch isn't allowed to be himself at the Cirque Lodge in Utah due to the facility's strict rules about clothing and excessive skin exposure.
TMZ reports:
"Cirque bans muscle shirts, sleeveless tops, ripped jeans, hats, sunglasses, and all clothing with obscene language."
Basically everything that Sorrentino has in his closet, then.
The site adds:
"The guidelines also specify "no abdominal exposure" — a rule intended for the female population — but given the guy's claim to fame … it clearly also applies to Mr. Sitch."
So no showing off his abs and no douchey clothes?
How will the guy survive?!

Gorgeous City Posters by Paw Pokorni
Minimalist with a Dash of Art Deco
I had a dinner party at my place a week ago for some friends who were visiting Minneapolis from Copenhagen. Like Americans, Danes are very hospitable-- which also manifests itself in their host/hostess gifts. Since Danes love to burn candles, they brought me a blue iittala votive which looks perfect on my desk. But what inspired me the most was the card that came with the gift. It was a minimalist rendering of Copenhagen's Nyhavn district.
The beautiful card was designed by Paw Pokorni of Paws Fabrik. After taking a look at the artists website, I realized the card was part of a larger poster series titled Mind Location, which was Paw Pokorni's interpretation of the cities he's traveled to. My personal favorites are the Paris and Oaxaca posters. These posters are minimalist, but not stark. The "Miami Art Deco" color scheme warms the posters perfectly. I've ordered mine (you can email the artist here), and cannot wait to frame and hang them in my home.
6 Comments
i wonder if you could send them a city and have them make a custom 'city poster'?
i think a lot of people might want one for the city they live in. just sayin!
Can you share the price for the posters?
I would love a price, also!
Hi sorry you guys have to wait.
This is a BIG surprise for me:o)
Price is comming really soon... And thanks for the orders I will mail back soon.
Gorgeous. Are you planning on doing more? I think you should continue to do them for every place you travel to. My problem right now is that I love them but I can't really decide to buy one since I don't have a strong connection to one of the cities, so I hope you would make one of a city I really have strong ties to so that I have an excuse to buy it. (of course it also depends on the price).
Right now i'm not planning doing more, but in the future i will. I've been more places around the world than the posters i did make so when the time is right there will be more...
The price for 1 poster is:
150.00 USD (shipping are included)
Size is: A1 (594 x 841 mm) (23.4 x 33.1 in)
And please note that the Mind Location collection are only produced in a very limited edition with only 25 posters each.
Please mail me if you have a request.

How To: Get a Crash Log in Mac OSX
Within Mac OSX, crash reports are saved in various locations depending on which version of Mac OSX you have installed.
Mac OSX 10.5
If you are running 10.5.8 your crashes will be written as one file per crash which will contain the name of the application that crashed, the date and time of the crash and the name of the computer. Your crash log should be located in the directory:
~/ Library / Logs / CrashReporter
e.g. ~Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Scratch Live_10-10-101745_Sam Stokess_MBP.
Mac OSX 10.6
If you are running 10.6.4 your crashes will be written as one crash per file which will contain the name of the application that crashed, the date and time of the crash and the name of the computer just as in 10.5.8 except that they are located here:
~/ Library / Logs / DiagnosticReports
e.g. ~Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Scratch Live_10-10-101745_Sam Stokess_MBP.
It will also put an alias of this in this location:
~/ Library / Logs / CrashReporter
Mac OSX 10.7/10.8/10.9
In Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8, crash logs are saved in the same location as in Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.x) and Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.x) except the 'Library' folder is hidden by default. To locate the Library folder, choose 'Go to Folder' from Finder's 'Go' menu and type:
e.g.~/ Library / Logs / DiagnosticReports/Scratch Live_10-10-101745_Sam Stokess_MBP.
TIP: To make the Library folder permanently visible in Mac OS X 10.7/10.8, type the following command in Terminal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Molly Schaus. Most awesome goaltender…ever.
So in honor of the Kings making it to the Stanley Cup Finals (yay!), I've decided to compile a list of the best LA Kings tweets in order to bring more fans into the fold with their sassy, snarky remarks. Actually, I assume that everyone already loves the LA Kings twitter, so consider this really just a Best of compilation starting from round one of playoffs.
Plus, if the LA Kings Twitter isn't awesome enough on its own, it totally has a bromance going on with the Columbus Blue Jackets Twitter. Tell me that's not adorable.
Note: This features a truly massive amount of tweets. I do not apologize even one little bit.
Round One:
This isn't rotten tomatoes, its hockey RT @dbarefoot: 84.93% of pundits have picked the @VanCanucks to beat the @LAKings— LA Kings (@LAKings) April 11, 2012
@beccafischh We can't help ourselves. We're a "sassy" team.— LA Kings (@LAKings) April 11, 2012
Richards and Kesler share words, looks like a gust of wind sent Kesler tumbling.— LA Kings (@LAKings) April 12, 2012
Made a "choose a favorite Kings" graph in anticipation of round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs!
Note: all of this is absolutely made up. (and demonstrates that I clearly have too much time on my hands)

Pope Benedict has promised "unconditional obedience" to his successor. He was speaking during his final hours as pontiff. Benedict greeted cardinals for the last time before officially stepping down at 8pm
Francis has traveled to Castel Gandolfo for a meeting with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. The Vatican released few details about the unprecedented event, leading to speculation about what they would discuss.
The first pope to resign in 600 years, Benedict XVI has told Catholics he will live out his life "simply a pilgrim." He left the Vatican and flew to the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to remove his ring.
The Vatican has confirmed reports that former Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests for child sex abuse in the last two years of his pontificate - a dramatic increase over previous years.
Pope Francis has appointed Catholic leaders from some the world's smallest and poorest nations to the College of Cardinals. Former Pope Benedict XVI also joined the ceremony in a rare public outing.

text: I fucking hate Christmas, easter, etc. anything that is 'celebrational' for the family. My family ALWAYS FIGHTS, the dinners are silent and everyone is angry and sad because we can't be an actual normal family that talks. I don't even know why we still try, it turns out to be a disappointment again and again and again and again. It's EXTREMELY depressing and I'm in a really sad mood right now.

So, I'm gonna just come right out and say it: I have mixed feelings about this one. Look, I'm all for self-acceptance and having a positive body image no matter what your size or shape, but a pregnant bikini contest? I just don't know if I'm okay with that.
I just don't know.
The Texas-based moms-to-be who lined up to compete in Rod Ryan's 7th Annual Pre-Labor Day Pregnant Bikini Contest were clearly feeling pretty okay about themselves, or okay enough to strip down to string bikinis and do splits onstage (something I wouldn't feel quite right about doing even if I wasn't pregnant, but never mind). And that's great! The pregnant form is nothing to be ashamed of!
So why does this give me the heebie-jeebies??
Is it the "sexy" dancing that bugs me? I definitely don't love the creepy belly-rubbing move that seems to be part of every contestant's repertoire. But "pregnant" and "sexy" aren't mutually exclusive terms, I'm not one of those people. I'm pro-sexy nursing bra, remember?
Maybe it's the fact that these women are strutting their preggers stuff in a tent filled with beer-buzzed pseudo-cowboys. It just doesn't look all that comfortable in there. See, women were required to be due to give birth within three months to be eligible for the contest. Standing for an extended period of time in heels and a swimsuit sounds like third-trimester torture. My garment of choice for the last few months of pregnancy was an old, stretched-out, XXL tee (where that thing came from, I'll never know), which was perfectly suitable attire for my favorite activity at that time, lying on the couch eating ice cream and watching episodes of A Haunting.
I look at these women and I think ... what, they couldn't at least be sitting down? Their ankles must be killing them!
Maybe I'm a closet prude, but I just can't condone this madness.
Would you enter a pregnant bikini contest?
Image via YouTube
I would do it LOL. Hey, its just one time, its not like its thier jobs....but for one day of fun strutting my stuff with my preggo belly, I would (exept I can't see my toes or anything else for that matter that would need a touch-up). But if you could withstand the bikini wax and have fun doing this.....go for it girls :). You are still beautiful :)
This is disgusting! This isn't about women feeling confident or empowered even though they aren't in their normal, non-pregnant state, it's about feeding the fetish of men who are attracted to pregnant women. Make sure to save the picture of mommy doing splits in her bikini for the baby book.... I'm not a judgmental person at all, but, come on! And to think, I felt semi guilty and less maternal for having a nose ring..........
I live here in Houston and if I happen to be pregnant when that contest rolls around again you better believe I'll enter
I would enter. I always wanted to be the pregnant lady in a bikini! Something my mother said she wished was acceptable when she was pregnant. Pregnant women should feel sexy as much as non pregnant women. I think its a great idea!
i think this is great.. many of use go through a pregnancy feeling fat and uncomfortable with the way our bodies look and etc. I think this is a great way to get us preggos out and feel good about ourselves.. i would totally do this no questions and im sure my husband would love to watch me have a great time =)
I'm not into the seductive dancing or doing the splits. BUT To be perfectly Honest I'd have fun pregnant and entering into a bikini contest. It does sound like the real problem with this contest may be self image/jealousy issues...

Indonesia's rupiah gained as the central bank held its benchmark rate and unveiled measures to drain excess cash from the financial system. Bonds declined.
Bank Indonesia left its reference rate unchanged at 5.75 percent for a third month, according to a statement in Jakarta today, a decision predicted by all 21 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The monetary authority said it will raise the rates on its bills and term deposits to absorb surplus funds, and remain in the foreign-exchange market to stabilize the rupiah.
"Sentiment for the rupiah is quite good now," said Artanavaro Gasali, Jakarta-based head of global markets at PT Bank ICBC Indonesia. "It's hoped that the instruments outlined can absorb extra liquidity in the market, which would help strengthen the rupiah."
The rupiah rose 0.4 percent to 9,230 per dollar as of 4:13 p.m. in Jakarta, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg. The currency touched 9,276 on May 4, the weakest level since June 2010.
One-month implied volatility, which measures exchange-rate swings used to price options, held at 7.5 percent for a third day after surging 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from 6.5 percent last week.
"Our expectation for detailed measures in tackling liquidity, and hence inflation, has been answered," Wee-Khoon Chong, a Hong Kong-based strategist at Societe Generale SA, wrote in an e-mail to clients today. He forecasts the central bank will keep its rate unchanged for the remainder of the year and favors one-month rupiah forward contracts.

The yield on the government's 7 percent bonds due May 2022 climbed four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to a four- month high of 6.21 percent, according to closing prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association. It's added 17 basis points this week.
"We continue to believe that monetary policy is being kept too loose for too long," Robert Prior-Wandesforde, the Singapore-based director of Asian economics at Credit Suisse Group AG, wrote in a note to clients today, predicting that the central bank won't raise its reference rate unless inflation reaches at least 6.25 percent. "There are more and more signs that the economy and asset markets are beginning to overheat."

An Austin man looking for love ends up in the hospital. It's an online dating horror story and it's all too common. One woman who was nearly killed by a man who she met on a dating website is trying to do something about it.
A Las Vegas woman says after she broke off a relationship with a man whom she met on Match.com, he came after her.
"It's a very traumatic thing for anybody to have to go through," Mary Kay Beckman said.
According to police, 53-year-old Wade Ridley told them, "I knocked her to the ground and began stabbing her repeatedly until the knife broke. I then continued by stomping on her head and neck until she stopped making the gurgling noise."
While Mary Kay Beckman was in the hospital, police say Ridley murdered an Arizona woman who he'd also met on the website. He committed suicide in jail. Beckman is now suing Match.com for $10 million. She also wants the company to add a warning disclaimer on the site.
"It's my mission and goal to save someone from being hurt or help someone make a different decision with their online dating choices," she said.
Too late for an Austin man who went to an apartment complex off North Lamar earlier this month to meet a woman he met online. When he showed up, police say he was robbed by two men. They hit him multiple times in the head with a hammer.
According to court documents, the victim suffered a fractured skull and a fractured left hand.
Police say the woman, identified as Dawn Cox and a man named Markell Myers were caught when they used the victim's credit cards. Police are still searching for the other man involved.
Jason Zachman of Top Gun Security and Investigations checks things out before the first meeting.
"We get an average of two phone calls a day," he said.
In November, a woman called just in time.
"He had a felony bond, aggravated assault, I believe he had two charges for that so it was not a pretty picture. So, she did not go on a date like that," said Zachman.
Zachman says cases like that are rare, but it's important to do your own background check.
And when the time to meet comes, Zachman has this advice, "Meet in a neutral location so that way if you feel something's up you want to make sure you can easily get out of there or you at least have someone witnessing."
Match.com released the following statement regarding Beckman's lawsuit:
"What happened to Mary Kay Beckman is horrible but this lawsuit is absurd. The many millions of people who have found love on Match.com and other online dating sites know how fulfilling it is. And while that doesn't make what happened in this case any less awful, this is about a sick, twisted individual with no prior criminal record, not an entire community of men and women looking to meet each other."
Match.com offers several pages of safety tips for users.
