On June 2, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Limelight Networks Inc. v. Akamai Technologies Inc. et al.[1], holding that to prevail on a theory of patent inducement one party must be responsible for performing every step of a patent claim.
Akamai Technologies Inc. ("Akamai") is the exclusive licensee of U.S. Patent No. 6,108,703 (the "'703 patent"), claiming a method of storing and accessing Internet-based files. Akamai sued Limelight Networks Inc. ("Limelight") for patent infringement of the '703 patent in 2006. The '703 patent requires the host to "tag" the stored data. Limelight performed all the required steps of the '703 patent except for the tagging step. As a result, Akamai pursued a theory of induced infringement on the grounds that Limelight instructed users how to perform the tagging step.
A jury in the District of Massachusetts found Limelight liable for infringement and awarded Akamai $40 million. Shortly thereafter, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in Muniauction, Inc. v. Thomson Corp., 532 F.3d 1318 (2008), holding that a defendant that performed some steps of a claimed method and instructed customers to perform the remaining steps did not induce infringement because no single party performed every step of the claimed method. The Muniauction decision further explained that the single infringer requirement can be met if a single defendant "exercises 'control or discretion' over the entire process such that every step is attributable to the controlling party."[2]
Limelight moved for reconsideration in light of the Muniauction decision and the District Court agreed, holding that Limelight did not infringe. The Federal Circuit took up the case, ultimately affirming the District Court.[3] The Federal Circuit then took up the case en banc and reversed itself, holding that a party that performs some steps of a claimed method and encourages others to carry out the remaining steps is liable for inducement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b).[4]
The Supreme Court granted Limelight's request for certiorari to address "whether a defendant may be liable for inducing infringement of a patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) when no one has directly infringed the patent under § 271(a) or any other statutory provision."
Justice Alito, writing for a unanimous Supreme Court, held that "The Federal Circuit's [en banc decision] fundamentally misunderstands what it means to infringe a method patent. . . . Assuming without deciding that the Federal Circuit's holding in Muniauction is correct, there has simply been no infringement of the method in which respondents have staked out an interest, because the performance of all the patent's steps is not attributable to any one person."[5] Accordingly, the Supreme Court held that because Limelight did not perform all the claimed steps in the Akamai patent and cannot otherwise be held responsible for all those steps, Limelight does not induce infringement. Further, the Supreme Court denied Akamai's request to review the Federal Circuit's Muniauction decision, at least for the time being, leaving that holding intact.[6]
Thus, Akamai stands for the proposition that in order to induce infringement, a single party must perform every step of a claimed method by itself or must exercise control or discretion over the entire process such that every step is attributable to that party.

Apparently the Twitter accounts of bands No Doubt and Rise Against were hacked by supporters of United States Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. After an endorsement for Paul appeared on No Doubt's page, it was quickly followed with this Tweet: "If you actually read what Ron Paul is saying, you will discover that for the first time in your life a politician is not lying to you." The political statements on both accounts have since been deleted and No Doubt wrote, "Our Twitter account was hacked last night. No political endorsements at this time. Love, No Doubt." Similarly, Rise Against Tweeted, ""We were hacked. As you would all assume, we DO NOT support Ron Paul."
Umm, alright? Any guess why the Paul supporters chose to specifically hack the accounts of these two bands, as well as Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger? Are the fans of these artists indecisive or easily swayed? Paul didn't do terribly in the New Hampshire primaries. I've got so many questions. [NME]

Unions take aim at GOP governors
WASHINGTON Blindsided by Michigan's right-to-work law, organized labor is preparing to target Republican governors in politically important states up for re-election in 2014 – including Wisconsin and Michigan – part of a renewed offensive against perceived anti-union policies.
While unions fared reasonably well nationally last month at the ballot box, their struggle to survive has forced them to spend staggering sums just trying to hold ground. It is money not spent on recruiting new workers to stem a membership decline that has made unions more vulnerable than ever.
Unions are gearing up for another expensive fight in Michigan. They hope to collect enough signatures for a ballot measure that would essentially override the substance of the new law.
Across the country this fall, unions helped elect Democratic governors, build labor-friendly majorities in state legislatures and defeat ballot initiatives. They also played a key role in helping President Barack Obama win swing states including Ohio, Nevada and Wisconsin, according to exit polls.
But amid the costly battles over dozens of measures across the country, overall union membership has shrunk to 11.8 percent of the workforce.

text: FCC Chief Blasts Obama's Call to Delay Digital TV ChangeoverJack Loftus1/11/09 2:00pmFiled to: DtvFccAnalogTelevisionsDigital TVDigitalobamaKevin Martin68EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Just last week, President-elect Obama asked Congress to stop the analog TV shut down, due to funding issues and confusion. At CES yesterday, FCC chief Kevin Martin was having none of that at all. "[W]e've spent a lot of time and energy getting ready for the February 17 date," Martin said during a CES Q&A. "I am concerned about the consumer confusion that would be created."No kidding he's concerned, but he's probably more confused today than anything. As many of you may have put together by now, this is the same Martin we caught watching the DTV parody video on Friday, mouth agape. Perhaps the experience on Friday influenced his answers on Saturday? We may never know, but it doesn't sound like it did. What we do know is that, according to Nielsen, the failure of DTV coupon program has resulted in as much as 7% of the nation's households being "completely unready" for the switch. That's 7% of the population daytime TV and the Price is Right simply can't afford to lose. Advertisement Advertisement Most broadcasting companies are critical of Obama's position too, since many have not budgeted in the cost of operating two transmitters past the February 17 deadline."No matter when the deadline is, there will always be some who are not going to be prepared," said Michelle Vetterkind, president of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.Regardless of the infighting, DTV will become the standard on February 17, unless Congress swoops in with a last-minute delay. We'll keep an eye out this month for additional info. Until then, maybe check in on grandma, and see if your geeky skills can be put to good use. [MSNBC]Reply68 repliesLeave a reply

forum software: recent replies in account profile are redundant, sort oddly
Hi, I noticed very recently a new listing called "Recent Replies" was added to the account section. I do like the intention with that. :-)
I am experiencing some confusion with it. Reference attached screenshot
- I see multiple listings for the same topic. E.g. it is listed 5 times in the screenshot all with different freshnesses
- On these same replicate entry topics -or- other topics, the sorting is neither by Topic or Freshness. Yet those are the only two things to sort.
My preference would be to have this Recent Replies list de-duped and showing a freshness of the most recent post on that topic. And for the list to be sorted in ascending order of freshness (therefore one with the most recent post by anyone is listed first)
Yup, that is a bug I'm working on. Thanks.
This has been adjusted. The topics should now link to the specific user reply, instead of just the topic. The freshness value has also been corrected.
I still see all the dups. Screenshot attached.
If you click on them, they should link to an individual post. They look like duplicates because they are different posts under the same topic. The freshness column will show the timestamps are different.
For example, these two posts have one at 31 seconds, and the other at 4 minutes:
Technically, I understand what is occurring. Its more a user experience inquiry for me. And, I *am* only a focus group is 1. ;-)
When looking at the historical recent replies summary, I want to know which topics have had recent replies. That is distinct from knowing a list of every individual reply on every topic. The latter is uninteresting to me. Why?
The reason is it uninteresting is that I want to know what is the stream of activity…what are hot topics…what are topics in which people are engaging…what are topics in which I want to read all the replIES and to catch-up and perhaps engage again in the conversation.
My guess, is that the forum software doesn't know which individual reply that I have read. Therefore, the software would list all individual replies even if I have read them already. I'm not interested in seeing that.
Also, and this is more a generic UI thing, anytime a list is presented to me, I need to know what that list is and be able to have enough information so that I know what to click within the list. As is, this list doesn't have enough information for me. I don't know what to click. A see several duplicate things with only a freshness column that distinguishes them.
Compare this to the main forum page. That page works for me. In its most simple form it could be only columns for Topic and Freshness. With those two pieces of info, I would know on what to click.
In my mind, this Recent Replies list could be something like that yet filtered by topics in which I've engaged. That's the list that excites me.
Hi Diablodale – I agree with you! A list of topics is more useful and less confusing than listing all the individual replies.
Thanks again for your considered feedback.

Sydney FC Fans Forum: The Devil is in the Detail
Jamie Samaha, the youngest of the Sydney FC board members, leaned back in his seat as Sydney FC fans filed in to the conference room, confident at the media lockout. With a smirk he muttered to a suited friend "they all want an exclusive." I smiled at Kate Cohen, who sat beside me. #MediaTourists don't count.
It is said that the football media is Sydney-centric. I don't know. I tend to subscribe to the view that sport tells us a lot about who we are as a nation. It's why we don't give much of a toss about Asian football, although perhaps we should. It's also why we get a little spooked by ethnics running their own soccer clubs. And it's why, at 1am in the morning, straight from the top floor of a Surry Hills terrace, I am writing about the Sydney FC Fans Forum. I've been to Melbourne. The coffee isn't that good, and lets face it, everywhere else in Australia is full of weirdos and people wanting to live in Sydney. So Sydney it is.
Sydney, as Tony Pignata said in his powerpoint presentation, is BIG. BOLD. AMBITIOUS. In capital letters. The club, as logic would suggest, should represent those values. So like all good CEO's, Pignata began with the positives. Sydney FC has won ten titles across three leagues, he said. It was all part of a three point plan. The first point in the plan is to create an elite juniors pathway, from u/12's up. The second was creating a Football Centre of Excellence. The third was Asia. Sydney FC want to be the biggest club in Asia. I also want to be the guy who tells John Pilger that the copy is due. We all have a dream.
Tony Pignata's presentation wasn't particularly impressive, if we're honest. He spoke about a "history to be proud of", and promised "we set high targets and we demand success." It would have seemed more emphatic had his brow not been saturated with sweat. Public speaking is hard.
"What's our vision?" asked Tony Pignata of the crowd. He did not want an answer. After a short and extremely awkward pause, he glanced quickly to the slideshow to remind himself. The answer was a quote from Scott Barlow, helpfully written it italics. "To be Australia's premier club" was just the sort of cliche the crowd was looking for, and so Pignata continued.
The night, unfortunately, was going from bad to worse for Sydney FC's CEO. After regaling a stony faced crowd with stories of seeing fake Sydney FC shirts in Italy - "proof that we've made it" he said - Pignata presented the audience with the Strategic Plan.
I kid you not. After talk of increasing revenue, the first point of the club's philosophy was "creating goal scoring opportunities." Remember when you played u/6's, and everybody streamed forward in packs in search of a goal? THAT'S THE PLAN!
It was time for another rhetorical question. After revealing that scoring and defending were key components of the club philosophy, Pignata asked "have we achieved this?" This time the audience was too quick for Tony's rhetorical questions. "NO!" they shouted, and laughter spread around the room. The audience was lost.
You have to admire Tony Pignata. Despite the rustling of the savages, he continued bravely. In the long term, he suggested, Sydney FC want to win the Asian Champions League. "Adelaide got to the finals" he offered encouragingly. And so the audience was invited to compare themselves to The Pissants. Not realising the irony, Pignata then asked the crowd to remember all the great players that have played for Sydney FC. His suggestion that Sydney FC were even able to sign Lucas Neill was met with more guffaws.
There is a certain skill in holding a crowd. However, the greater skill is in knowing when you have lost them. For all of his considerable talents, Tony Pignata does not seem to possess either of these skills. Without a hint of irony, he finished his public address by saying that he had just given a glimpse of the club's "high level vision", before the audience was invited to ask questions.
Did I mention the MC? He was the kind of guy that sells used couches. Trim suit and half a bucket of brylcreem in his hair, he made jokes about alcoholism. The board members laughed. But then again, they were paying him. They should have spent some money on partisan crowd members.
Anyway, the MC instructed us to ask questions. Nothing was off limits, he promised. "From Mary from Maroubra to Pete from Penrith" we were told to speak up, or forever hold our piece. I appreciated the alliteration.
The first question was a pearler. Dan was his name, and he wanted to know why the board hadn't listened to Craig Foster when he recommended Josep Gombau to Sydney FC. "The team has no rudder" said Dan.
The answer was unconvincing. Pignata said that the board had chosen Frank Farina because he was good at sorting out short term problems. "He did it, sort of, at Brisbane" was the endorsement. That's right. He did sort of do it at Brisbane. Until of course he was fired, Ange Postecoglou took over, and took the team on a record-breaking unbeaten streak. Sort of.
So much for the long-term goals.
"Do you see Frank as the future" asked Dan, by way of rephrasing the question. There was another awkward silence. Scott Barlow promised us the football department had his full support.
Peter, from North Bondi, was next. He wanted to tell us that he had worked with Alessandro Del Piero on a film clip for some marketing thing he did. Great. Nobody likes a name-dropper, but it turned out to be just the kind of tough question to crack open Tony Pignata's frigid exterior. "Dealing with Alessandro Del Piero and his brand can be difficult" said Pignata. My fist, which had until then been firmly inserted in my mouth to stop myself from laughing out loud, was suddenly removed, and notes were scrawled. The evening had just got interesting.
The MC, of course, made it worse. He decided to paraphrase the question. Will ADP be here for the next season, he asked the board. Tony Pignata gave him a look, one not dissimilar to the one Michael Corleone gave Fredo in Godfather II. "The last time we looked you weren't a member" said Pignata, and the MC was suddenly doing the 'mouth laugh.' You know the one. You're making laughing sounds and grinning from ear to ear, but inside, you know you've fucked up.
Then there was Ron from Glenfield, who had a problem with player turnover. "I don't recognise the team!" he complained. Then again, he was advancing in years. He also thought he was at bingo night at the Hurlstone Park RSL.
Mark Arbib, who until this point had been silent, decided to speak up. The faceless man of the NSW Right has a face, and that is Sydney FC. "A-League clubs have no connection to the grassroots" he mused. Everyone instantly wrote him off as a bitter NSL fan.
Then Andrew from Newtown asked a question. He looked vaguely familiar. I think I once bought a bed off him from a Gumtree ad. Andrew, if you're reading this - solid question mate. "This is not the first strategic plan" Andrew pointed out. Who will be accountable, he wondered, if the latest plan is stillborn? The answer, as you might have guessed, was more platitudes about "commitment."
The comedy continued. Lynne from Hurstville questioned how "a team of champions" could be turned into "a champion team. "I thought [Aaron] Calver had a good game [against Perth]" replied Tony Pignata. "Unfortunately he got sent off." Indeed.
Michael Crismale, a board member who had been silent, suddenly had something to say. He wanted to remind the plebs of all the great players who had worn the colours of Sydney FC. Again, the onlookers were too quick. "Like Alejandro Salazar" one bloke yelled out. The room once again was filled with sniggers. The club used to be so broke, Crismale told the onlookers, that he once lent Dwight Yorke $1000 to pay his living allowances. The laughter, unsurprisingly, did not stop.
Next to take the microphone was an ex-Parramatta Power fan, who was banging on about something to do with wanting to support "an Aussie team." To be honest, I wasn't listening. I was too busy scouring the room. There was Bonita Mersiades with her hand up to my far left. The MC was assiduously ignoring her and those around her.
Perhaps Peter Paradise, on the end of the panel of board members, read the room. Before Bonita could ask her question, he started speaking about what he called "women's issues." Bonita, of course, has been a tireless advocate for women in sport. Was this the topic of her question? Who can say for sure?
The club had bravely backed Ellyse Perry to play two sports, Paradise ventured. On top of that, he self-reflexively noted the complete lack of women on the board of Sydney FC. He promised that would all change. Bonita's hand went down. Maybe her arm was just tired.
Then came the crazy questions. One fan asked if Scott Barlow would step down if the team didn't reach the Asian Champions League. Another wondered why Sydney FC had accumulated so many yellow and red cards. Jamie Samaha responded by telling the riff-raff to show some respect for the absentee owner's son-in-law, who squirmed in his chair, while Tony Pignata said "the players let us down from a yellow cards point of view." From a who's point of view?!
The natives were no longer restless. They were bat-shit crazy. One man stood up, pointed to the field, and asked "if you want to dominate Asia, do you even watch the game?!" The board promised us they did. Another bloke was angry that Tony Pignata hadn't answered his emails and phone calls, while another loudly heckled the board for their "lack of knowledge of the world game."
The night had turned silly. A cheeky fan suggested the board be replaced by a "panel of ex-captains", before Phil Hope stood up and calmed the room. A veteran of the Socceroos and Sydney FC, 'Hopey' returned the conversation to reality, asking about Sydney FC's investment in facilities, so they could stop "tipping money into the SCG coffers."
The answer, unfortunately, was not convincing. Scott Barlow suggested the inner west is "an ideal location" for Sydney FC. Considering the smallest of apartments in Newtown now fetches million dollar price tags, its anybody's guess how Sydney FC will find room and money for a stadium and a centre of excellence in the inner west. I'm just excited about the prospect of late night Manoosh after Sydney FC games.
Then Doug Kors finally got to ask his question, after a good twenty minutes with his hand raised. It was a rare question that was actually relevant, and it was about the funds allocated to a high performance unit to monitor training loads. Tony Pignata promised Doug that Sydney FC had hired a psychologist, which isn't really the same thing. Oh well.
It was time for some tough talk. Parochialism usually gets a crowd going. And who better to give that tough talk then a bunch of corporate spivs in suits. Tony Pignata promised the fans that "we're not gonna let Melbourne Heart take the Sky Blue." Peter Paradise agreed: "they've got a fight on their hands", he said. Similarly, Scott Barlow apparently has a "real issue" with Central Coast Mariners taking games to North Sydney Oval. The insecurity was plain to see.
The last question was about loyalty, which seemed fitting after a largely useless night of high farce. The last questioner even used the phrase "day dot." I fucking hate it when people say that.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this is why democracy doesn't work.

Fan forums are the very definition of awkward. So many stupid people thinking they speak for the collective.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the above poster. When mixing with the great unwashed, your Paul Smith suit will cop a few stains... How is the adoption of a top down playing style or ethos to be implemented? What is the path we will follow to become the biggest team in Asia? We don't want sound bites or rallying cries, as the banner read "we want action" Great read!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that FC shirt http://www.wysjg.com, there is not much of a sydney FC design to this… well still looks good for a club that i support.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to try your luck and test your skills in football, I suggest it http://sportsbetting-x.com/soccer-bet. I recently made a risky bet and I was lucky, I won a good amount of money. I advise everyone, risks and your hobby will bring you good profits.

Truth Tattoo body piercer Jasen Phelps has worn more than 250 piercings - and that doesn't include the thousands of times he pierced himself on stage while performing in a freak show.
But it all began rather simply.
"I've always poked holes in myself," Phelps said. "When my brother saw me put a safety pin through my cheek, he said I would either be a doctor or a body piercer."
Phelps has been a professional piercer for 16 years.
"You learn on yourself, learn on your friends and then get a job," he said.
Piercers now learn the trade through apprenticeships; Phelps' apprentice is Ryan Lee. Upon retirement, Phelps plans to make himself available for consultations and high-end body modifications.
"As far as high-end body modification is concerned, I can either do it, have done it or can figure out how to do it," he said.
Phelps also performs brandings and scarifications.
"Scarifications are done with a scalpel, where you basically carve designs into flesh," he said. "And I've done a tongue splitting. It was the first time I've ever brought in an anesthesiologist. It is a very, very painful experience."
The most painful piercing Phelps has performed is a form of septum piercing, in which the jewelry goes through both nostrils and the septum.
"There are only about 300 of them worldwide, and I am probably responsible for 40 to 60 of them," Phelps said.
He is one of four known piercers who do mandible piercings, which go through the skin of the lower jaw and out underneath the tongue.
"I've got a couple one-of-a-kind piercings - like the three-hole industrial piercing - that no one else has ever been able to pull off," Phelps said.
Phelps was present when another piercer broke the world record by performing a nine-hole industrial piercing, which involves nine piercings down someone's ear lobe. The piercings are then connected with a corkscrew-shaped piece of jewelry.
"The craziest thing I've ever pierced was an uvula, which is the little thing that hangs down in the back of your throat. Piercers usually do that one only once. I did three."
Phelps has also pierced one of his apprentice's backs with 16 piercings and laced them together like a corset.
When Phelps was in a freak show, he used to do suspensions, hammer nails into his face and swallow swords.
"I used to be able to slide a beer bottle through my ear lobe," he said.
Phelps said the most popular piercing location is the nose, and that the popularity of tongue piercings fluctuates. There are at least 6,500 possible body piercings listings in the Body Modification Encyclopedia.
"It is a legitimate and fairly healthy way to express yourself," he said. "I don't necessarily think they are addicting. After the first one, people just realize it is not as big of a deal as a lot of people make it out to be."
Piercings can provide an adrenaline rush to the person doing the work, Phelps said. And when the piercing is finished, the piercer often gets the same feeling of release as the piercee.
"Typically, I get the needle through and the jewelry, and after the transfer I start shaking," Lee said. "I get the same relief they do. It's like we both got pierced."
Lee has been Phelps' apprentice for three months. He said he sort of just fell into the craft.
"It started with sanitation, then anatomy, then I had to learn the jewelry and then actually start performing it," Lee said. "Composure has to be learned, also. I have to stay clam while keeping the other person calm."
Lee practices his craft on friends like Bucky Jaquess. Jaquess has let Lee pierce his nipple, navel and the front of his neck.
"I only get piercings because he needed to practice," Jaquess said. "I'm just a good sport, and I have really soft skin that's good for piercing."
Phelps said the only thing that keeps him from retiring is the satisfaction he gets from clients who truly appreciate what he does for them.
"The absolute coolest part (of being a piercer) is that almost everybody who walks in feeling normal, walks out feeling more beautiful," Phelps said. "It is honorable but also intimidating. If it's not done right, you could be crushing someone's ego."

Claire's giraffe party
My first baby is turning four this week. 4?!?!! I can't believe it. But then, I'm sure I'm not alone in how fast our kids grow. When I asked Claire what kind of birthday party she'd like this year, she insisted on a giraffe party. Seriously? A giraffe party. We ended up making almost all of our decorations. I'm not sure how many of you have tried to throw a giraffe party- but there's not a lot out there to be purchased for one!
One of my favorite decorations were the circles behind the food table. I picked up a few sheets of 12x12 scrapbooking paper and cut them into circles. On the yellow ones Claire painted some handprint giraffes. (A more detailed post for another day!) My Mom and I tried to make the same ruffled streamers that we made for Simon's birthday party last year, but my sewing machine was having nothing to do with ruffles. They ruffled until I answered the phone, and then we just ended up sewing them together. They still looked pretty.
In an effort to make her party more giraffe-y, we made some homemade graham crackers. We used a small cookie cutter to cut out small giraffe shapes. The kids LOVED these crackers. It was so hard to get them to stop eating the crackers so that we'd have some left for the party. This morning the kids ate the last of them. Recipe to follow shortly. You will want to make them.
I also make some giraffe labels for the juice packs and water bottles.
I saw this cake in a Martha Stewart Baby magazine, way before I was even married. (I've always loved Martha, so I used to flip through her mags, even though I wasn't even thinking of babies yet.) I made this chocolate cake recipe, which I have used many times before. It's one of my favorite Martha recipes. The cake was baked in a 9x13 pan, and then using the template in the back of the magazine you cut the cake to form the giraffe. Unfortunately, this cake isn't on Martha's website.
Here's the birthday girl! Mom and I made giraffe shirts for Claire and Simon. I cut the giraffe out using the cricut (thanks Sylvia!) and then just traced it onto the fabric. My Mom sewed them onto the shirts.
These pics were taken after the party was over. Simon is seen here holding the bowl that held the graham crackers. He ate them all afternoon.
It was a fun party. I ordered these giant (although I didn't know they were going to be quite so giant) balloons from Bargain Balloons. There's a flat shipping rate, and since I have already planned Simon's party, I was able to order balloons for his party too. I bought party hats and then covered them with construction paper. I printed out the giraffe image that I used on the water and juice packs to glue to the front of the party hats.
Out of bristol board, I cut a giraffe (use your imagination!) so that the kids could play pin the tail on the giraffe. We also played a game called pretend you're eating like a giraffe. We my very awesome Sister, just threaded timbits (donut holes) on string and then hung the string from a broom handle. Then the kids had to try to eat the timbits without their hands (like a giraffe).
Lastly, I made a spiced punch in the slow cooker to have on hand for the adults. It was so tasty. If you're going to make it, make sure you remember to take out the cinnamon and cloves after it has been in there for a few hours. By the time that I sat down to have some it was a little too clove-y.
There you have it- a full fledged giraffe birthday party. I love planning my kids birthday parties, but I'm a litle excited to have a bit of a break before the next party.

text: How To Avoid Catch-All Domain SpamGina Trapani3/18/08 2:00pmFiled to: Lifehacker Book Contest WinnerdomainDomain NameEmailEmail appsEmail filtersGmailSpamTop252EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink For the next two weeks, readers are submitting their best life hack for a chance to win an autographed copy of our new book, Upgrade Your Life. If you own a domain name with an active catch-all email address, you know how spammers can pummel you with junk mail to every email@example.com email address they can automatically generate. When you have your own domain, you can to use site-specific addresses when you register for web services to track down spam sources (like email@example.com), but once you do that, you've got to keep your catch-all address open to junk mail as well. But Google Apps user Ray has a clever system that filters out catch-all junk but still lets him track exactly who's selling out his address. Here's how to set it up. Editor's note: this method involves a few steps that take one or two reads to get your head around, but it is pretty ingenious. Ray explains: Advertisement Advertisement In Google Apps, set up a new user account. This is NOT going to be your actual email address. Set the username to something that will stand out among your other user-names (if any). In this case, I'm using "spam-trap".Go back to the Google Apps Dashboard, and click on E-mail under Service Settings. Select "Forward The Email To... and enter your newly created account in the Catch-All address field, as shown. Go to your email login page, which is usually: https://www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com, and login to your newly created account.Click Settings > Filters > Create New Filter. In the To: Field, enter "." followed by a short sequence of numbers or letters. Make it something short, and easy to remember. This will be your secret email suffix, and is the key to this whole system working. Click Next Step, and enter your real address in the "Forward It To" field. You also might want to add a label to make checking how your filter is working easier later. Click "Create Filter." Now, whenever you need a trackable email address, give it in the form of email@example.com. If you want to be able to track spam, give a custom address to each site that requires an email address. Using the name of the company or web site works great for this. (Ed: Like firstname.lastname@example.com.)The filter you've set up will forward any incoming mail in the correct format to your real address, while stopping all of the garbage emails that spammers send out in the hopes of finding domains with active catch-all addresses.This system works better than Gmail's plus addressing, because sometimes poorly-designed web forms will not allow + characters, and since you're using your own secret suffix, it's unlikely that a spammer would take the time to reverse-engineer your naming system. If you do start getting spam, you can block it easily via another filter, and if you're using custom addresses, you'll also know who sold you out to the bad guys.Periodically you might need to login to your catch-all address, and create special filters to let certain legitimate mail through. In particular, check mailing lists you subscribe to, which often use a special address in the To: field, and thus will get caught by your filter.This system can even be adapted to non-Gmail/Google Apps users who use desktop clients. The key is a catch-all address, the secret suffix, and a filter to block out everything else.Congrats, Ray! Your hack just earned you an autographed copy of Upgrade Your Life!Send us your hack for a chance at your own copy. We especially love the hacks illustrated with photos, video clips, or templates, so make your submission a show and tell. Another book contest winner to come tomorrow.Reply25 repliesLeave a reply

Islanders Recall Poulin from Sound Tigers
by Staff Writer / New York Islanders The New York Islanders announced today that goaltender Kevin Poulin has been recalled from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League. Poulin's first career recall comes on an emergency basis, as goaltender Rick DiPietro suffered a strained adductor muscle in a 5-2 Islanders win over the Calgary Flames on Monday, Jan. 3.
Poulin, 20, leads all Sound Tigers goalies in wins (10), goals against average (2.13), save percentage (.931) and shutouts (2) this season. The Montreal, QC, native is playing in his first professional season, after completing a four-year junior career with the Victoriaville Tigers of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The New York Islanders drafted Poulin in the fifth round, 126th overall, of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The 6'2", 211-pound netminder posted career bests in games played (54), shutouts (7), GAA (2.63), save percentage (.916) and wins (35) in his fourth and final season with Victoriaville. Poulin also broke the Victoriaville record for most career wins by a goaltender with 81.

Russian cargo ship drops off spacesuit puncture repair kit at the ISS
Luckily someone was indoors to sign for Americans' package
Posted in Science, 29th July 2013 12:24 GMT
A Russian cargoship docked with the International Space Station without a hitch this weekend, carrying nearly three metric tons of supplies for the crew.
Here's a video of the launch to the ISS:
The Progress 52 docked with the station's Pirs compartment 260 miles (418km) over the Pacific Ocean roughly six hours after it was launched, taking with it 1,212 pounds of propellant, 42 pounds of oxygen, 62 pounds of air, 926 pounds of water and 3,395 pounds of spare parts, maintenance equipment and experiment hardware. The unmanned craft also had on-board tools for making repairs to the US spacesuits on the ISS.
The freighter blasted off from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, at 2045 GMT on Saturday on an accelerated four-orbit trip to the station.
Pirs was home to the Progress 50 craft for five months up to last Thursday - when it set off for a destructive reentry while filled with trash including an old astronaut treadmill. The Treadmill Vibration Isolation System, used by the 'nauts to stay fit during their time in the floating science lab, had been on the ISS since November 2000.
The station's other treadmill is called the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT) - named after TV comedian Stephen Colbert when he won a public voting poll - which blasted off to the ISS in 2009. ®

As we wait in anticipation for NASA's New Horizons probe to make its historic Pluto flyby on July 14, 2015, the mission is about to cross another milestone — it will zoom past Neptune's orbit at 7:04 p.m. PDT (10:04 p.m. EDT) today (Monday), and it has already snapped a pixelated view of the outer solar system's ice giant from 2.5 billion miles away (around 27 times the Earth-sun distance).
Today's milestone is also a grand coincidence for solar system exploration. Precisely 25 years ago, on Aug. 25, 1989, NASA's Voyager 2 probe reached Neptune as it made its way to the outermost reaches of the sun's sphere of influence — a magnetic bubble called the heliosphere. Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to encounter the majestic blue planet.
PHOTOS: Voyager 2's Epic Outer Solar System Odyssey
"It's a cosmic coincidence that connects one of NASA's iconic past outer solar system explorers, with our next outer solar system explorer," said Jim Green, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. "Exactly 25 years ago at Neptune, Voyager 2 delivered our 'first' look at an unexplored planet. Now it will be New Horizons' turn to reveal the unexplored Pluto and its moons in stunning detail next summer on its way into the vast outer reaches of the solar system."
"NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 explored the entire middle zone of the solar system where the giant planets orbit," said Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo. "Now we stand on Voyager's broad shoulders to explore the even more distant and mysterious Pluto system."
ANALYSIS: Can We Call Pluto and Charon a 'Binary Planet' Yet?
Voyager 2 was the first to gain dramatically clear views of Neptune and its moons in 1989, the last time a "new planet" has been shown to us in beautiful clarity. Next up is dwarf planet Pluto that will be visited by New Horizons, using 21st century camera technology to image the little world — and its largest moon (or "binary partner"?) Charon — in crystal clarity.
As New Horizons approached Neptune's orbit, it was able to grab a distant photo of Neptune and largest moon Triton. Through information gathered from Voyager 2 observations a quarter of a century ago, planetary scientists believe that the strange moon may actually be a "captured" Kuiper Belt object.
Rather than originating from the planetary material that accumulated to form the other Neptunian moons, weird Triton — which has a retrograde orbit around Neptune — seems to have formed in the same outer solar system region as Pluto but somehow migrated toward Neptune and became gravitationally bound to the ice giant. Triton's origin has therefore sparked theories that the moon may have similar features to Pluto, theories that will be tested in a few months time.
NEWS (2011): Pluto-Bound Probe Sprints Across Uranus' Orbital Path
"There is a lot of speculation over whether Pluto will look like Triton, and how well they'll match up," said Ralph McNutt of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md. "That's the great thing about first-time encounters like this — we don't know exactly what we'll see, but we know from decades of experience in first-time exploration of new planets that we will be very surprised."
According to Stern at a special press conference on Monday, we can expect to see a better-than-Hubble image of Pluto as New Horizons approaches the Kuiper Belt from January 2015 onwards — and that's when many questions about Pluto's mysterious nature will start to be answered.

Family Time: Raising the Bar on Adventure
My husband Ish and I thought we were adventurous people, but once our sons came into the picture, things felt a lot more risky. What if something happened to us out there? Or worse, what if some horrible parenting decision we made led to harm coming to one of our kids? Then we learned to let go–and it was the best thing for all of us.

I've been using iTunes as my go-to music player on my computer ever since I got an iPod about two years ago. While it runs great on my desktop, it really gets bogged down on my lower powered netbook. It also doesn't let me sync music to my Android phone, which is annoying.
I've been searching for a replacement media player for a while now and I can't find one that works the way I want. My requirements are pretty stringent, but here's what I'm looking for in a media player:
-Ability to stream music to another computer without some complicated server setup
-Ability to sync music between computer libraries. That is, if I add a song to my desktop PC, I want to be able to transfer the song over to my netbook over a LAN. iTunes does a wonderful job of this.
-Sync both iPods and Android devices
-When syncing to my Android phone, I would like all my .m4a files (ALAC) to be transcoded to some form of MP3
-Last.fm scrobbler support
-Unicode support for foreign characters
-Ability to not sort playlists. This is a weird one, but I playlist all my music based on broad genre, and I place albums in these playlists in whatever darn order I feel like. That's just the way I like doing it. Also, it's easier to remember that "冒険でしょでしょ?" by 平野綾 is about halfway down my playlist, than actually having to search for the file by artist or whatever.
So, does anyone have experience with such an ideal player?
I tried Winamp, but it kept crashing on my Windows 8 x64 machine.
Foobar2000 tries to sort my playlists by track number or artist or something, which is a no-no...

Mumbai: Dec 11, 2012
Mumbai skipper Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday rued the dropped catches in the first innings and said it was the turning point of the match.
"The turning point was dropping a few too many catches on the first day. If you let a side score 580, it's never easy chasing it. Ideally we would not have like to concede 580. The bowlers keep getting tired and you need to make them stay a bit more. We lost too many (wickets) in the morning, which made it difficult," he told reporters after the match.
He also expressed his disappointment with the pitch and said "we didn't expect it to be one-inning game".
'Playing at home you expect a little bit more from the pitch. I don't want to talk too much about the pitch but over a thousand runs were scored."
He praised left-arm spinner Ankit Chavan for his nine wickets and hoped the bowler would get recognition.
"Anyday 150 in 10 overs was going to be difficult but with Rohit's talent if you get 25 runs in a couple of overs, he did get one (24 runs in an over), then the pressure sets in and bowlers bowl a few bad balls.
"At least 15-16 overs or 120 runs in 11 overs would have made it interesting. It was because of Ankit's exceptional bowling otherwise it was heading for a tame draw.
"I hope this performance gets noticed. It was a real good spell of bowling. It wasn't poor shots or bad batting. To get 9 wickets in any form of cricket is exceptional. He has got the talent to get wickets, that is why he is playing for us."
Punjab pacer Manpreet Gony, who scalped five wickets, also praised the young bowler and said his side was clueless.
"We didn't know what was happening because he was bowling well. We didn't know what to do. People were playing some shots and the shots were not controlled," Gony said.
Punjab appeared to be on the defensive while fielding, and everyone except the keeper were at the boundary line.
"Bhajji pa told us to remain cool and said the target is high for them to chase it. (155 in 10 overs). This is the first time I have played with all the fielders at the boundary line," he said.

"No," you may be thinking. "Android can't get a virus. The applications are screened before they're put up on the Android market, right?"
Eh..well, not really. Remember openness? Google means it, and as a result Android apps do not go through an approval process. Any third party developer can upload whatever they want so long as the app conforms to some loose pre-defined guidelines set down by Google. There is no official barrier that can stop malware, and indeed, malware for Android already exists.
First Tech Credit Union issued a warning in January 2010 about an Android app that was posing as an online banking interface, but was in fact malware designed to steal usernames and passwords. More recently, an app on the Russian Android app market was found to contain a virus that spammed SMS messages to specific phone numbers, resulting in huge phone bills for those infected.
The argument about the existence of Android malware is already over. It has already been invented, which should hardly be a surprise – why wouldn't seedy characters use an unrestricted app store to spread malware?
Android Antivirus Protection
Where there are viruses, there is fear. This is true in the digital world as it is the real world. Now that the first few pieces of Android malware have been confirmed, antivirus companies have sprung into action, offering a wide range of antivirus programs. These apps are often have a free version available that displays advertisements, making it rather easy to download protection for your Android phone.
Unfortunately, the mere existence of these Android antivirus apps is no reason to relax, as there are a number of problems, perhaps the largest of which is the lack of research about viruses on mobile phones. There is no mobile-oriented version of AV-Comparatives doing detailed research The 3 Best Sites for Reliable Anti-Virus Software Reviews The 3 Best Sites for Reliable Anti-Virus Software Reviews Read More into the effectiveness of antivirus solutions. Even sites like CNET have yet to provide useful information about these apps. It's possible that these antivirus apps are completely ineffective – no one has done enough research to know otherwise.
And, of course, the openness of the Android app store can be abused. Windows has long been plagued by malware disguising itself as free antivirus software. Unsuspecting users download it, infect their PCs, and then do nothing more to monitor their security because they believe the fake antivirus program has it covered. Android is also open to this abuse.
So if antivirus apps aren't known to be effective, what can you do? Monitor your permissions very closely. This seems to be Google's official line in regards to malware, and they do have a point. When installing an app you can see what the app wants to access. If a media player app wants to send SMS messages, for example, that should set off alarm bells. However, the idea that such protection is sufficient is rather arrogant – eventually someone will find a flaw in Android's code that lets an app bypass the permission process.
The truth of Android is this – it's a jungle out there. This goes for all other smartphones as well. These devices are obviously juicy targets for malware, and there is not yet sufficient security in place to protect them. The good news is that these devices are relatively young, and it takes some time for malware to be programmed. The bad news is that those seeking to spread malware usually figure out how to do so – it just takes time.
This is not unlike the state of personal computers in the late 80s and early 90s, when viruses were becoming common but antivirus protection was rare and its effectiveness often difficult to judge. Users had little recourse against malware – avoiding it was simply a matter of avoiding suspicious programs and crossing your fingers. Users of all smartphones should beware – these clever pocket PCs are not immune. Don't do anything with your smartphone that you wouldn't do with your home computer.

What is needed is a FIREWALL for andriod!
I want a firewall program that allows you to decide what each App can and cannot access (like bookmarks, contacts, sd card data, full internet access, etc...) Instead of the current list of allowed actions you read before each install, it should ask you to allow or block each option, even if it breaks some of the functionality.

This could be the doom of android. Here we go with the data/identity theft, crashing devices and a slow bleed of money to keep anroids running. Just horrible news.
I've got Lookout on my Android phone. Anyone know anything about it? It seems to auto-scan anything I download.
Liked the article because it reminds us of how vulnerable we are and the need to be vigilant. Please continue to provide additional info regarding ways we can protect our androids/smartphones.
As an avid reader of makeuseof and an owner of a DROID, I usually take your "best droid apps" lists to heart, downloading neat apps suggested by your writers. To what degree are these apps (that you have suggested) screened for potential virus/malware? Is it possible that apps you have endorsed carry such harmful risks?
Valid point! Who virus checks, the virus checkers??

yea but he will make more in the next two years then this year. Does a guy's contract sound bad when it is 14 mil or 17 mil? Zach's contract increases every year.
If he plays like he has been in the pre season and doesn't cause problems on or off the court, he will be traded. Unless he does so good that the Knicks want to keep him but that is doubtful with his contract.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I want an extra draft pick.
I know but the Clippers and Grizzlies were willing to take it before he impressed this year. Think about it. He is passing the ball for once, being a team player, still scoring and rebounding, not causing chemistry problems.....i mean teams thought twice about him because of these issues and now these aren't problems.
I think teams will want him if he keeps this up.

Hey guys, I was digging through the game files and found some sound files for a lee enfield rife, probably left over content, or maybe future dlc content?
Would anyone happen to know if I might be able to somehow launch level 4 through the console?
Problem is, my game crashes during that V2 production facility level, and there is no fix from Rebellion.
Well this game got pretty quiet pretty quickly.
Verify the cache.
I have, several times.
The problem lies with the drivers, since apparently the Radeon 2000 series is barely supported. Apparently AMD and Rebellion are both 'aware' of this issue and are 'working together' to get it fixed, but from my experience they could take months to release a patch.
It'd take you like 30 minutes to go to a store and buy a newer card for like $150 assuming you don't live out in the country.
Why would you buy a GPU in an actual store? It's normally cheaper online as well as safer for people who know almost nothing about hardware and prices from getting ripped off.
This game is awesome! One of the few modern games that my pc can actually handle :D
Yeah, up to that level after the demo ending. Can't seem to escape that tank. Or find a way to snipe others.
My stealth isn't really good, so I'm kinda stuck on the 3rd mission :(
My stealth sucks badly.
just hide and shoot evertyhing. It also works this way.
I know enough to take my time though. Just want to escape the tank.
Blow it the fuck up, either shoot the fuel cap, or shoot that first stachel you placed where the tank ends up being next to.
^ Alright then, I'll find the fuel cap and the satchel. obviously.

The Kheer is a traditional delicious, easy to digest dessert made of rice cooked in milk and flavored with spices and dry fruits like cardamom and pistachios which works great as a comfort food for rainy evenings. The Kheer is a typical dessert from India resembling the popular English rice pudding. Delicate and very fragrant, it is also suitable for closing a dinner and is very easy to prepare at home. For a low calorie version of Kheer just put less sugar or just avoid it, why not adding maybe just a little honey towards the end, the rest is really a sweet and nutritious for anything heavy.
The kheer is a traditional South Asian sweet cooked with rice or broken wheat, milk, sugar and flavored with cardamom, raisins, saffron, pistachios or almonds. You have no idea of the wonderful aroma that emanates, or maybe you have better idea, you've already had the opportunity to eat at some Indian restaurant. This is a traditional Indian dessert, and after a dinner of spicy chicken, sauces and soups, it is a worthy conclusion.

Three issues were added to the agenda, all of which were approved. The first was the approval of the senior trip to Washington D.C. this spring.
New lighting fixtures will be installed at the bus garage. Clark Electric of Hillsdale was awarded the contract for $2,800.
The board also recommended the scalping of one of the corporation's buses.
The 2012-13 audit was presented to the board by Greg Bailey of Bailey, Hodshire & Company, P.C.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
By Nora Zelevansky
When it comes to choosing travel destinations, certain trusted standards spring to mind: Paris for urban exploring. The Bahamas for beach lolling. Greece for island hopping. Napa for wine.
The trouble is that these popular spots can prove pricey. Luckily, there are plenty of alternative locales—fabulous in their own right—that can offer parallel experiences, minus the hefty expense.
"It's a classic way to approach travel," explains Anne Banas, executive editor of SmarterTravel. "If you can't afford one destination, choose somewhere with similar flavor—not a substitute, but something both different and related."
With Banas's guidance, we scavenged memorable (and less expensive) alternatives to eight iconic getaways around the world.
In Place of Paris ... Consider Montreal and Quebec City
Quebec City so closely resembles a French village that its main church, Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, actually stood in for its Paris namesake in the Steven Spielberg film, "Catch Me If You Can." The walled, historic Old Town of the Canadian city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to cobblestone streets, fortresses and castles—along with the requisite antiques shops and cafés. Once you've canvased Quebec City, make your way to bigger sister city Montreal, which has authentic "patisseries and French restaurants, and the primary language spoken is French," says Banas. Don't-miss highlights include Jardin Botanique, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, and a cruise down the St. Lawrence River.
The Savings From common European hub New York, a round-trip flight to Paris costs $700–$800 at a minimum—even during low season. By comparison, a round-trip ticket to Montreal hovers around $300–$400. Banas recommends booking with Porter Airlines, a kind of "Canadian JetBlue" experience, with good regional wine and a waiting/gate area that feels like a business-class lounge.

In Place of Greece ... Consider Croatia
It's easy to fantasize about island hopping from Santorini to Mykonos, but Adriatic counterpart Croatia offers a related experience—with more economic stability and less-expensive hotels. The country has over 1,000 islands (only 67 are inhabited), the same beloved Mediterranean climate and even ancient ruins, like the Roman amphitheater in Pula. Adds Banas: "Croatia has a lot of seafood and even a similar landscape, plus it has a budding wine culture."
The Savings In Croatia, even a five-star hotel can cost as little as $200 a night.

In Place of Aspen ... Consider Park City
When the rich and famous want to ski, they head to Aspen, Co., perusing luxury finds from Burberry and Ralph Lauren in their downtime. For an equally quaint town and choice slopes, Park City, Utah, is a great alternative that offers lower prices for vacation rentals. Although the area is best avoided during the star-studded Sundance Film Festival, the annual event, which is held each January, has brought more must-try restaurants and hotels to the snowy city.

Who Am I? Welcome to the Who Am I game! I'll explain how to play... You pick a celebrity and you give clues about their life/career/personality or whatever, and the person below you has to guess who they are. The catch is you can only give three hints. For example, I could give these three clues: 1) I'm a songwriter 2) I was in a popular band in the 60's 3) I was killed by a crazed fan in 1980. Then the next person would (correctly) answer: John Lennon. They would then pick a new celebrity and give three hints about them Other rules: try not to make your hints too hard or easy/vague. If your three hints are 1) I have big boobs 2) I have big hair 3) I have long nails, the answer could be anyone from Nicki Minaj to Dolly Parton! Thanks and have fun! :wink: |

FDLE Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A man convicted of raping and suffocating a 10-year-old girl after breaking into her Orange County home almost 23 years ago will get one extra day to live. Gov. Rick Scott sent a letter to the warden of Florida State Prison Monday to reschedule the execution of 56-year-old Elmer Leon Carroll from at 6 p.m. on May 28 to the same time the following day. The letter says the change is "to accommodate key personnel," but no further explanation was given. Carroll was sentenced to death in the first-degree murder of Christine McGowan of Apopka, the night before Halloween in 1990. Carroll was living next door at a homeless men's mission and was arrested within hours of the girl's body being found. Scott signed Carroll's death warrant last week.

Mix three uniquely dysfunctional couples, two wildly hysterical dinner parties, and one enormous lie with clever dialogue and intricate staging and you have the recipe for a delightfully funny evening in the form of Alan Ayckbourn's comedy, How The Other Half Loves, now playing at the Westport Country Playhouse.
First performed in 1969, the show is a timeless analysis of the state of marriage as well as a study of the foibles of each of its couples' individual characters. We witness what happens when two people attempt to cover up an affair by lying to their spouses about where they were on a particular evening. Unfortunately, the lie involves an innocent couple of unique characters as well, who are then invited to dinner by the lied-to spouses — and the fun begins.
L-R: Paxton Whitehead, Karen Walsh, Darren Pettie, Geneva Carr, Carson Elrod and Cecilia Hart. Photo by T. Charles Erickson
The play works on many levels, the most important being the ingenious set. Though one set, it encompasses two overlapping apartments, which allows events in different homes and on different evenings to happen simultaneously. It takes a minute or two to become comfortable with this staging, but once we realize that as the players weave and move through the space, we are actually seeing their separate homes and getting glimpses of their not so separate lives, it all makes perfect sense. This duality reflects the duplicity of the cheating spouses and also serves as a comedic device when the third couple is brought in. All of the characters are on stage in the highly entertaining depiction of two separate dinner parties, and watching the hapless innocents bounce between one dinner and the next is hysterical.
The characterizations and performances by the actors also add to the enjoyment of the evening. The three couples have unique dynamics of their own, and the actors brilliantly bring each character's idiosyncrasies to life.
Frank and Fiona Foster are an older couple with a cool, distant, yet polite marriage in the very British upper crust sort of way. Played by Paxton Whitehead, Frank is the stereotypical bumbling, dunderheaded, forgetful, yet endearing partner to Fiona, who is delightfully played with exasperated impatience by Cecilia Hart.
Fiona is having an affair with one of Frank's employees, Bob Phillips. Darren Pettie portrays Bob with a somewhat loutish and almost menacing air, especially when dealing with his loud and complaining wife, Teresa. Teresa, as played by Geneva Carr, is a stressed and neglected new mother, who suspects Bob of cheating on her and is somewhat shrewish in her manner of pointing out to Bob her views of their unbalanced relationship.
Rounding out the trio of maladjusted marriages are William and Mary Featherstone. When questioned about their whereabouts on the night of one of their evening trysts, Bob and Fiona both tell their spouses that they were with William and Mary respectively, to lend a supportive ear to their tales of the breakup of their marriage because of infidelity. Of course, this is the lie that sets the dinner parties in motion, to the delight and confusion of the young Featherstones, who are portrayed by Carson Elrod and Karen Walsh.
Carson Elrod embodies the young nobody who, as the low man on the work totem pole, is more than willing to brown-nose his way into a promotion by courting advances with his coworker and boss. Karen Walsh, with wide-eyed innocence, is perfect as his overly shy and socially naïve wife, who has to learn to navigate the tricky waters of office politics and the blustering bullying of her equally socially inadequate husband.
It all sounds very serious and could easily border on tragedy, but the witty dialogue filled with double entendres, along with brilliant comedic timing, outstanding performances, and the interwoven dual sets all combine to make How The Other Half Loves an engaging evening of entertainment. I highly recommend this show for a night filled with laughter. How The Other Half Loves runs through August 15th at the Westport Country Playhouse.

This month, all eyes are on the hospitality sector. As part of our Viewpoint 2016, we've published a stand-alone hospitality report, which provides an in-depth look into the trends shaping the hospitality sector.
As a whole, the sector performed exceptionally well in 2015 and despite a couple of migrating factors, this trend is expected to continue until the cycle peaks sometime in 2017. The improving U.S. economy, combined with growing demand and still-scarce supply, has resulted in record levels of hotel occupancy—in fact, the highest rates in seven years. Still, the hospitality market faces the biggest risks in 2016. The industry is segmented, so generalizations about the impact of inbound international tourism might be hyperbole. But a strong U.S. dollar also favors American travel abroad, which would be even more threatening to average daily rates (ADRs) across almost every sector.
Download your copy of IRR's 2016 Viewpoint Hospitality Report here.
In addition to the U.S. hospitality industry, we took a deeper dive into the Caribbean hospitality market with the help of senior managing director of IRR's Caribbean offices, James Andrews. The Caribbean Market Update 2016 gives an overview of where the region's hospitality sector stands, with insights into the economy, tourism, travel demand, hotel performance, and a detailed analysis of each of the local markets. Of note, IRR found that the tourism industry in the Caribbean has effectively reached its peak levels seen prior to the recession, providing some economic improvement to countries which rely heavily on tourism. Real estate markets are generally showing signs of modest improvement as well, with increases in sales volume recorded in Cayman, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas.
That's a wrap on hospitality, for now. Take a look at the reports and check back for more updates on each of the commercial property sectors all year long.
