About Harvard
The Crimson returns several key players from last year's squad which finished with a 22-9-1 overall record. Harvard completed its 14th consecutive winning season last year before falling to St. Lawrence, 2-1 (OT), in the ECAC tournament's semifinal. The Crimson's top returner is senior Jillian Dempsey. This year's co-captain led the Crimson in goals (27) and assists (21) in 2011-12, barely ahead of fellow returner Lyndsey Fry. Fry's sophomore season saw her score 22 goals and add 20 assists for 42 points on the year. In goal, Harvard returns three-year starter Laura Bellamy, who has compiled a 46-23-6 record during her time in Cambridge.
In The Rankings
For the first time this season, Harvard is ranked in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine and USCHO.com polls. The Crimson entered the fifth poll of the season at No. 9, while Minnesota (8-0-0) retained the top spot. The last time Harvard garnered a national ranking was Feb. 27 of last season when the squad stood at No. 8 in the country.
New Faces
Harvard brought in a talented group of seven freshmen to the 2012-13 squad. The most touted member of the class is Canadian goalie Emerance Maschmeyer. The newcomer has played in the Hockey Canada program, including two of Canada's three games against the USA in a U-22 series in Calgary, Alta., this August. "Emerance has the reputation of being solid and a big-time goaltender," said Harvard head coach Katey Stone. "We are looking for her to step in and create a great competition in the goaltending position." Along with Maschmeyer, the newest players on the Harvard roster are Dylanne Crugnale (Laguna Niguel, Calif.), Miye D'Oench (New York, N.Y.), Abigail Harris (Bowling Green, Ohio), Jessica Harvey (Norfolk, N.Y.), Mary Parker (Milton, Mass.) and Molly Tissenbaum (Toronto, Ont.).
One Win Down
Harvard came out victorious in its first competition of the season, a scrimmage contest against McGill Oct. 20. The Crimson's first line of the game put Harvard up 1-0 on a Jillian Dempsey goal fed from Kalley Armstrong and the squad cruised to a 4-1 win. Dempsey ended the day with two goals, while Armstrong added three assists. Miye D'Oench and Samantha Reber also picked up tallies for Harvard. Laura Bellamy started the scrimmage in goal for the Crimson and made five saves in 33 minutes of shutout action. Emerance Maschmeyer relieved Bellamy and made seven saves, while allowing one goal, in 26 minutes between the pipes.
Coach Katey Stone
Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Hockey, is in her 19th season as Harvard's head coach, and she holds a 378-164-32 career record, the most all-time victories in Division I women's hockey. Stone has led Harvard to all eight of its NCAA tournament appearances and was recently named the head coach of the United States women's hockey team for the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Head coach Katey Stone is not the only Crimson with upcoming red, white and blue duties. Along with Stone, Michelle Picard and Lyndsey Fry will travel to Vantaa, Finland to take part in the Four Nations Cup Nov. 6-10. The trio will represent the USA in a tournament against Canada, Sweden and Finland. The four countries that battle for the Four Nations Cup account for all 16 medals ever won in the Olympics.
Coaches Pick
Harvard was picked by the league's coaches to finish in second place of ECAC Hockey this year, while gaining three first-place votes. Cornell was tops in the poll with nine first-place tallies and 109 points.

Harvard in Season Openers
The Crimson is 21-11-2 in season openers, including a 6-5-1 mark when its first game of the year is on the road. This year's contests will be the third time in Harvard's history that its season begins against Quinnipiac, as the Crimson is 2-0 when opening with the Bobcats. Harvard last opened with Quinnipiac in 2008 and came out with a 2-1 victory.
About Quinnipiac
The Bobcats (3-2-1) were riding a three-game winning streak before being tripped by Syracuse in their last outing Oct. 20. Quinnipiac won a pair of games over Maine (6-1, 5-2) and also defeated Syracuse (3-2 OT) in the first contest of the two-game set against the Orange. Junior Kelly Babstock is the squad's best offensive weapon, tallying nine goals and six assists in the first six games of the season. The Mississauga, Ont., native, who became Quinnipiac's all-time leader in goals, assists and points in only two seasons, leads the ECAC in points (15), goals (9) and plus/minus (+8) in 2012-13.
About Princeton
The Tigers (2-0) have started the season with wins over RIT and Robert Morris. Princeton nipped RIT, 2-1, behind a game-winning goal from junior Sally Butler in the third period, before an offensive outburst led to a 6-3 win at Robert Morris. Seniors Kelly Cooke and Corey Stearns each had four-point performances in the season's second contest. Freshman Kimberly Newell played both games in goal for the Tigers and enters the weekend with a 2.01 goals against average and .943 save percentage.
Series History - Quinnipiac
Harvard has been dominant in the all-time series against Quinnipiac, gaining an 11-2-1 advantage since the two teams first played in 2005. Last season, the Crimson was 1-0-1 against the Bobcats.
Series History - Princeton
The Crimson and Tigers have a long history with Harvard holding a 39-30-4 lead in the all-time series. A year ago, Harvard ended the Tigers' season with a 2-0 series sweep in the ECAC first round. The Crimson won game one, 5-3, before finishing the series with a 4-3 (OT) victory in game two. Overall, Harvard was 3-1-0 against the Tigers in 2011-12.
Up Next
Harvard continues the season with three more road games, before its home opener Nov. 23 against Colgate. The Crimson will make trips to Brown (Nov. 2), Yale (Nov. 3) and Boston University (Nov. 18) in that span.

Doing Business in Greece and Europe's Economic Crisis
In a telling editorial today, the Wall Street Journal extensively cites the World Bank's Doing Business annual survey to explain an underlying cause of the Greek crisis. Burdensome regulations, high taxes, and a costly legal system make it extremely difficult to start and run a business in Greece. The country ranks last in terms of the ease of doing business among the 27 members of the European Union, and it ranks 109 out of 183 countries.
The need for fundamental structural reform, including of public pension systems, there and in much of Europe will be the message of Simeon Djankov, Bulgaria's deputy prime minister and minister of finance, as he speaks at a Cato policy forum next Tuesday. Cato senior fellow Steve Hanke, "father" of Bulgaria's successful currency board, will also speak.
Before his current post in Bulgaria, Djankov was the initiator and lead author of the Doing Business report that is now being so widely cited in relation to Greece's woes. No doubt he'll have something to say about that.
For a further description of the long‐term lack of economic freedom in Greece, see this op‐ed by prominent Greek journalist Takis Michas, which was based on his talk at a recent Cato policy forum.

Datalogic announces the QuickScan QBT2400 and QM2400 entry level cordless 2D area imagers
Eugene, OR (PRWEB) August 18, 2014
Datalogic[1], a global leader in Automatic Data Capture and Industrial Automation markets, is proud to announce the availability of the QuickScan™ QBT2400[2] and QM2400 cordless imagers[3] the latest additions to the popular QuickScan 2D imager line of general purpose handheld scanners.

As a result, imaging technology usage is steadily growing and is projected to continue this upward trend. Datalogic's QuickScan imager family offers more affordable pricing and high performance scanning through the use of area imaging technology. These imagers offer high speed and accuracy while reading 1D codes, various 2D codes and stacked codes such as the PDF417 code. Wireless mobility helps the operator roam at the point-of-sale (POS). Uses include shelf replenishment, inventory, price checking, the reading of mobile phone displays and loyalty cards. The presence of the patented Datalogic 'Green Spot' technology ensures good-read feedback in any environment.

"In doing so, we are proud to provide these ergonomic, durable and reliable imagers that ensure excellent general purpose scanning at a very attractive price."
The design of the QuickScan imagers' illumination and aiming system, consisting of the combination of two blue LED targeting triangles with a soft, dark red illumination results in reduced operator visual stress during daily scanning activities. Other attributes found in these cordless scanners include: alternative battery recharging through USB/Micro USB cable; easy user-replaceable lithium-ion battery that simultaneously changes the charging contacts; batch mode capability of +500 linear codes in memory; drop resistance to 1.5 m / 5.0 ft, IP42 water and particulate sealing rating and host download/remote management system capability. Both provide a transmission range of 25.0 m / 82.0 ft. Other uses for these versatile units, outside of retail markets, would include banking, access control, ticketing and postal markets.

Does anyone know the Date for 2008?
Did anyone attended this year Dai Hoi Thanh Mau in Carthage,Missouri?
Did you like Thuy Nga Production performing?
Does anyone know the Date for 2008?
****Love, Live, and watch Asian Series****
My cousins goes every year because their church operates one of the restaurants. It been many years since I've been back. Heard it was very hot this year too.
Who perform this year?
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
I went again this year and helped out with our quan again. The Thuy Nga performance this year I don't think was as good as last year, then again, I missed the first night because I was working.
The night that I went, Tam Doan had a nice performance, Nhu Quynh sounded bad, Trinh Lam's song wasn't that great, Quang Le was wonderful, Minh Tuyet's cover isn't as good as someone else's, and the new girl who sang with Hoai Linh was actually pretty good.
You could expect DHTM to be around the same time next year. Temperature wise it wasn't THAT bad...bordering about 100 each day which is better than most days over here in TX.
Anyway...that's all folks!
~*~ Philipians 1:3~*~
okay, so tell me why i never heard of this until this year? haha. n i'm surprised it's at Missouri instead of say, California KekEke.
number of piercings - 8 and counting.
<3 them.
Thuy nga performance was ok this year. I kinda like ASIA Production more...My family and I goes every year for the past 7 years...just to pray..really. It's not fun or anything but you just feel so good after ...It was extremely hot this year ..
I wanted to know that date so i can make motel reservation for next year...Tired of spending over 120/a night for a cheap motel..
****Love, Live, and watch Asian Series****

Why are you staying in a motel? Part of the fun is camping out.[/quote]
you caught me...darnit..i know..I'm too spoiled. I can't handle the heat and the long wait for the shower and bathroom. It's really dirty in the ladies' shower...ewwwwwwwy...
You know, in my younger years, when I was like maybe 11-16 years old, I love camping out and it was fun. ( Sneaking out when my parent are asleep so I can go under the statue to pray..hhehehehe)..
****Love, Live, and watch Asian Series****
Who's going this year? I am! I am!
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
Dai Hoi Thanh Mau? What's that? Never heard of it....is it only held in Missouri?
The last time I've been to "Marian Days" in Missouri was in the early 2000's I had so much fun. We didn't do a lot of praying just walking around and looking for gals and at night there'd be a whole bunch of kids whom will meet up by the turtle to break or have a break dance off.
Some nights the priests will be a party pooper and tell them to break it up, but we will leave and return again. I believe Marian Days are held the first week of August it always starts on the first Thursday of August and run through Sunday I think this yr it's August 7-11, 2008. But don't quote me on it. August is considered to be one of the hottest months of the summer. And the heat and humidity there is just too unbearable.
"You can't make the world come out right just because you want it that way."
Are there a lot of Vietnamese people in Missouri? I don't see too many around. Do you have any good recommendation for Vietnamese restaurants in St. Louis? I have been to two and was not too impressed with the quality.
What is this celebration for? I'm in Hawaii, this sounds interesting!
Praying? Is it like a buddhist or catholic thing?
More info on Marian Days.

"You can't make the world come out right just because you want it that way."
Wow that sounds fun! I wish I was more catholic. My parent's didn't really enforce religion with me. My dad is catholic [not a very good one] & my mom's buddhist [not a very good one either]. So yea. That actually sounds fun.
When I went to church, I was mesmerized by their singing
hmmm...i continue to feel sadden by those who have so much zeal for this trip and perish en route to their destination. may they rest in peace. i hope that in the future, the roads will be much safer to carthage and the journey less eventful.
one day, i hope to go as well.
if you have the time and enthusiasm, please join in on the new and fabulous wuxia rpg fic /rpg discussion. (<--- click here)
I heard about it....the other week they were praying for the victims during mass. So unfortunate...RIP. Now you really have to start thinking....who rented the bus that clearly was not qualified? Who do we blame, if any at all?
I heard about this on the radio the other day. How unfortunate, indeed! May their souls RIP.
The bus departed from my church. This is the same service that my parents use when they go to Carthage but luckily, they didn't go this year.
I know people who lost a mom or dad on that bus. I found out not too long ago that a girl that I grew up with was also on that bus. She didn't make it and left behind a husband and 2 kids. Very saddening.
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
ummmm, what kind of praying were u doing under the "statue"....you sure it wasn't under góc dùa? hehe

Behold through gredie haste to feight one Phorbas, Methions son,
A Swevite: and of Lybie lande one callde Amphimedon
By fortune sliding in the blood with which the ground was wet,
Fell downe: and as they woulde have rose, Perseus fauchon met
With both of them. Amphimedon upon the ribbes he smote,
And with the like celeritie he cut me Phorbas throte.
But unto Erith, Actors sonne, that in his hand did holde
A brode browne Bill, with his short sword he durst not be too bolde
To make approch. With both his handes a great and massie cup
Embost with cunning portrayture aloft he taketh up,
And sendes it at him. He spewes up red bloud: and falling downe o
Upon his backe, against the ground doth knocke his dying crowne.
Then downe he Polydemon throwes, extract of royall race,
And Abaris the Scithian, and Clytus in like case,
And Elice with his unshorne lockes, and also Phlegias,
And Lycet, olde Sperchesies sonne, with divers other mo,
That on the heapes of corses slaine he treades as he doth go.
And Phyney daring not presume to meet his foe at hand,
Did cast a Dart: which hapt to light on Idas who did stand
Aloofe as neuter (though in vaine) not medling with the Fray.
Who casting backe a frowning looke at Phyney, thus did say:
Sith whether that I will or no compeld I am perforce
To take a part, have Phyney here him whome thou doste enforce
To be thy foe, and with this wound my wrongfull wound requite.
But as he from his body pullde the Dart, with all his might
To throw it at his foe againe, his limmes so feebled were
With losse of bloud, that downe he fell and could not after steare.
There also lay Odites slaine the chiefe in all the land
Next to King Cephey, put to death by force of Clymens hand.
Protenor was by Hypsey killde, and Lyncide did as much
For Hypsey. In the throng there was an auncient man and such
A one as loved righteousnesse and greatly feared God:
Emathion called was his name: whome sith his yeares forbad
To put on armes, he feights with tongue, inveying earnestly
Against that wicked war the which he banned bitterly.
As on the Altar he himselfe with quivering handes did stay,
One Cromis tipped off his head: his head cut off streight way
Upon the Altar fell, and there his tongue not fully dead
Did bable still the banning wordes the which it erst had sed,
And breathed forth his fainting ghost among the burning brandes.
Then Brote and Hammon brothers, twins, stout champions of their hands
In wrestling Pierlesse (if so be that wrestling could sustaine
The furious force of slicing swordes) were both by Phyney slaine.
And so was Alphit, Ceres Priest, that ware upon his crowne
A stately Miter faire and white with Tables hanging downe.
Thou also Japets sonne for such affaires as these unmeete
But meete to tune thine instrument with voyce and Ditie sweete,
The worke of peace, wert thither callde th'assemblie to rejoyce
And for to set the mariage forth with pleasant singing voyce.
As with his Violl in his hand he stoode a good way off,
There commeth to him Petalus and sayes in way of scoffe:
Go sing the resdue to the ghostes about the Stygian Lake,
And in the left side of his heade his dagger poynt he strake.
He sanke downe deade with fingers still yet warbling on the string
And so mischaunce knit up with wo the song that he did sing.
But fierce Lycormas could not beare to see him murdred so
Without revengement. Up he caught a mightie Leaver tho
That wonted was to barre the doore a right side of the house
And therewithall to Petalus he lendeth such a souse
Full in the noddle of the necke, that like a snetched Oxe
Streight tumbling downe, against the ground his groveling face he knox.
And Pelates, a Garamant, attempted to have caught
The left doore barre: but as thereat with stretched hand he raught,
One Coryt, sonne of Marmarus did with a Javelin stricke
Him through the hand, that to the wood fast nayled did it sticke.
As Pelates stoode fastned thus, one Abas goard his side:
He could not fall, but hanging still upon the poste there dide
Fast nayled by the hand. And there was overthrowne a Knight
Of Perseyes band callde Melaney, and one that Dorill hight,
A man of greatest landes in all the Realme of Nasamone.
That occupide so large a grounde as Dorill was there none,
' Nor none that had such store of come. There came a Dart askew
And lighted in his Coddes, the place where present death doth sew.
When Alcion of Barcey, he that gave this deadly wound,
Beheld him yesking forth his ghost and falling to the ground
With watrie eyes the white turnde up: Content thy selfe, he said,
With that same litle plot of grounde whereon thy corse is layde,
In steade of all the large fat fieldes which late thou didst possesse.
And with that word he left him dead. Perseus to redresse
This slaughter and this spightfull taunt, streight snatched out the Dart
That sticked in the fresh warme wound, and with an angrie hart
Did send it at the throwers head: the Dart did split his nose
Even in the middes, and at his necke againe the head out goes:
So that it peered both the wayes. Whiles fortune doth support
And further Persey thus, he killes (but yet in sundrie sort)
Two brothers by the mother: t'one callde Clytie, tother Dane.
For on a Dart through both his thighes did Clytie take his bane:
And Danus with another Dart was striken in the mouth.
There died also Celadon, a Gypsie of the South:
And so did bastard Astrey too, whose mother was a Jew:
And sage Ethion well foreseene in things that should ensew,
But utterly beguilde as then by Birdes that aukly flew.
King Cepheyes harnessebearer callde Thoactes lost his life,
And Agyrt whom for murdring late his father with a knife
The worlde spake shame of. Nathelesse much more remainde behinde
Than was dispatched out of hand: for all were full in minde
To murder one. The wicked throng had sworne to spend their blood
Against the right, and such a man as had deserved good.
A tother side (although in vaine) of mere affection stood
The Father and the Motherinlaw, and eke the heavie bride,
Who filled with their piteous playnt the Court on everie side.
But now the clattring of the swordes and harnesse at that tide
With grievous grones and sighes of such as wounded were or dide,
Did raise up such a cruell rore that nothing could be heard.
For fierce Bellona so renewde the battell afterward,
That all the house did swim in blood. Duke Phyney with a rout
Of moe than of a thousand men environd round about
The valiant Persey all alone. The Dartes of Phyneys bande
Came thicker than the Winters hayle doth fall upon the lande,
By both his sides, his eyes and eares. He warely thereupon
Withdrawes, and leanes his backe against a huge great arche of stone:
And being safe behind, he settes his face against his foe
Withstanding all their fierce assaultes. There did assaile him thoe
Upon the left side Molpheus, a Prince of Choanie.
And on the right Ethemon, borne hard by in Arabie.
Like as the Tyger when he heares the lowing out of Neate
In sundrie Medes, enforced sore through abstinence from meate,
Would faine be doing with them both, and can not tell at which
Were best to give adventure first: so Persey who did itch
To be at host with both of them, and doubtfull whether side
To turne him on, the right or left, upon advantage spide
Did wound me Molphey on the leg, and from him quight him drave.
He was contented with his flight: for why Ethemon gave
No respite to him to pursue: but like a franticke man
Through egernesse to wounde his necke, without regarding whan
Or how to strike for haste, he burst his brittle sworde in twaine
Against the Arche: the poynt whereof rebounding backe againe,
Did hit himselfe upon the throte. Howbeit that same wound
Was unsufficient for to sende Ethemon to the ground.
He trembled holding up his handes for mercie, but in vaine,
For Persey thrust him through the heart with Hermes hooked skaine.

History of FERC
History of FERC
Founding of FPC
In 1920, Congress established the Federal Power Commission (FPC) to coordinate hydroelectric projects under federal control. Under the joint administration of the Secretary of War, Interior, and Agriculture the FPC could only employ an Executive Secretary, while all other personnel was borrowed from these administrating executive departments.
Learn More about Hydroelectricity on Wikipedia
This organization resulted in conflicting mandates, making it difficult to produce a consistent energy policy. Thus, in 1928 Congress voted to give the FPC funds to permanently hire their borrowed staff. Two years later, the Federal Power Act established a five-member, bipartisan commission to run the FPC.
Expansion of the FPC's mission
With the passage of new acts and court decisions the mission of the FPC continued to expand.
As a result of their expanded jurisdiction the FPC and the nation faced an energy crisis. There was a colossal backlog of applications for natural gas permits, while there were chronic brownouts in the 1960s and the OPEC embargo in the 1970s. This called for reorganization of the FPC.
Reorganization of the FPC
In 1977, Congress reorganized the FPC as FERC and the responsibilities of the Commission continued to expand.
In the late 1970s FERC provided for gradual deregulation.
Deregulation allows consumers to negotiate the best terms for supply and transportation of natural gas to markets. Due to deregulation of the US gas industry production has increased, proved reserves have decreased, and gas usage is increasing.
FERC Order No. 888
On April 24, 1996, FERC issued its Order No. 888, a final rule regarding electric industry restructuring.
Order No. 888:
In 1999, FERC issued Order No. 2000 , fostering participation in regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs), by establishing guidelines that a transmission entity must meet in order to qualify as an RTO. The expectation is that the RTOs will increase efficiency in wholesale energy markets and lower end-prices to consumers. Voluntary RTOs and ISOs have been formed in California (CAISO) , Southwest (SPP) , Midwest (MISO) , Mid-Atlantic (PJM) , New York (NYISO) , and New England (ISO-NE) .
EPAct 2005
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 was the first major energy law enacted in over a decade, and makes the most significant changes in Commission authority since the Federal Power Act and Natural Gas Act. By passing the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Congress signaled a strong vote of confidence in the Commission. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave the Commission significant new responsibilities and granted it significant new authority to discharge these responsibilities by modifying the Federal Power Act, the Natural Gas Act, and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. In addition the Energy Policy Act of 2005 repealed the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and in its place created a new rule, which emphasizes access to books and records. The Commission's significant new responsibilities also include:
On February 15, 2007, the Commission adopted a final rule reforming its decade-old open-access transmission regulatory framework that will ensure transmission service is provided on a nondiscriminatory and just and reasonable basis, as well as provide for more effective regulation and transparency in the operation of the transmission grid. The rule is designed to: (1) strengthen the pro forma open-access transmission tariff, or OATT, to ensure that it achieves its original purpose of remedying undue discrimination; (2) provide greater specificity to reduce opportunities for undue discrimination and facilitate the Commission's enforcement; and (3) increase transparency in the rules applicable to planning and use of the transmission system.
On October 17, 2008, FERC issued Order No. 719 which finalized regulations that will strengthen the operation and improve the competitiveness of organized wholesale electric markets through the use of demand response and by encouraging long-term power contracts, strengthening the role of market monitors and enhancing regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) responsiveness.

Personal Sound Amplification Product with Linx DSP® provides 4 preset Environment Management™ filters that provide situational hearing solutions to enhance comprehension in difficult listening environments.
WHEAT RIDGE, CO (November 9, 2012) – Able Planet Incorporated, one of the top selling active noise cancellation companies in the world, announced today the nationwide launch of its award-winning Personal Sound™ Amplifier, PS2500AMP. Cited as "The most impressive new PSAP" by Melinda Beck of the Wall Street Journal, Personal Sound™ was released for a limited premarket sale on September 11, 2012 that sold out in less than 48 hours. Able Planet is launching its Personal Sound™, nationwide. Currently available at ableplanet.com, the product will roll out to leading eCommerce sites and US retailers over the next 60 days.
Personal Sound™ PS2500AMP is the first ever In-Ear Amplifier with Linx DSP®. It provides a natural sound by preserving the directivity of the ear and enhances hard to hear sounds with preset environmental filters. The small size is highly invisible and is held secure by a patent pending D-ring that is easy to position and ensures a comfortable fit for long wear. When the environment situation changes, simply 2TAP™ near the device to change your Personal Sound™.
Personal Sound™ Amplifier has 8 channels, 12 bands, active noise reduction, an adaptive feedback manager and 4 preset programs that alter the frequency response, amplification and noise reduction to accommodate for varying listening environments. 2TAP™, a patent-pending controller, continuously senses the pressure in the ear canal enabling you to switch among programs by lightly tapping on the ears. This "switch" changes the program and generates an indicator tone without requiring push-button activation. Wax guards prevent earwax from damaging the miniature speaker. The amplifier is powered by 1.35V battery (Type 10A).
"Hearing abilities are like fingerprints and everyone is unique," said Able Planet CEO Kevin Semcken. "Struggling to hear in noisy places, like on an airplane, in a crowded restaurant, or at your local pub is common to people with all levels of hearing abilities. Even hearing the TV can sometimes be difficult. Just because you have difficulty hearing in certain situations does not mean you need to incur the expense of a hearing aid. When hearing others becomes a challenge, simply put in your Personal Sound™, and you'll Hear the Difference®."
Personal Sound™ has won several of the world's most prestigious audio and technology awards, including a 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show Innovations and Design Award, as well as, Popular Science's Product of the Future. Linx DSP is a Hear the Difference® technology that enhances sound quality and clarity for People with All Levels of Hearing™.

This article was cross-posted from the AIDS.gov blog. Dr. Ron Valdiserri is Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, Infectious Diseases, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
On July 22, 2010, during the International AIDS Conference, I talked with Ambassador Eric Goosby, who serves as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, and who oversees the implementation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program.
PEPFAR is the United States' response to the global HIV/AIDS epidemic -- but I was interested in getting Dr. Goosby's impression of what the news coming from the conference might mean for those working on HIV/AIDS in the United States.
I also asked him to share his impressions about the new National HIV/AIDS Strategy and to give those of us responding to the domestic epidemic some advice, based on his work in the thirty-one PEPFAR partner countries.

There's a reason why I have been avoiding doing lip swatches for a while; because it is such a pain to put lipstick on and take it back off again! I certainly found that it hurt my lips a lot, and they started to hurt and flake after a while.
Also I hate how long lasting lipsticks dry and stick to my lips sometimes! Terrible! Then I spotted this teeny product on Adambeauty. It's called Kanebo Lip Fresh and is supposed to help cleanse the lips.
Think it's a fab idea! I don't like using regular cleanser on my lips, it doesn't taste nice for one thing, and the texture feels a bit wrong sometimes!
Lip Fresh is just a clear, scentless liquid. It doesn't taste bad – it doesn't taste of anything so that is a bonus.
When I did my last lip swatches I put this Kanebo Lip Fresh to the test and it really worked!
Here is an example – Red pigmented lipstick! A nightmare to take off:
I put a small amount of the Lip Fresh on a tissue, held it over my bottom lip for about 10 seconds then pulled it away. The point of this product, to me, is so that I don't have to tug and scrub at my lips.
Looks a bit wrong!
Here is how it looks after quickly removing some of the lip colour. It did a great job; no dryness, no flaking and also very little effort required:

A big Company, family-run since 1905 brings the excellence of Italian Fine Pastry in the world.
The careful selection of raw materials, with particular attention to traditional practices, is noticeable from the very first glimpse. In order to make the thin layers forming the dough fragrancy, the inevitable ingredient used by Matilde Vicenzi is the veil of butter, applied among the folds of the pastry dough. The traditional recipe requires that the dough is gently folded back on itself many times obtaining a delicious and fragrant pastry composed of well 192 layers.
Matilde Vicenzi was the founder of the company that bears her name today. At the beginning of the century, this very charismatic woman was a good example of female entrepreneurship, which was later a point of reference for her grandson Giuseppe Vicenzi who transformed the family business into an important Group.
Vicenzi S.p.A will be at...

Lady Antebellum Plan Holiday Concert in Nashville to Celebrate Christmas Album
Lady Antebellum will have plenty of Christmas cheer to spread this year. Their first holiday album, 'On This Winter's Night,' released on Monday (Oct. 22), and now the trio is planning a special holiday concert in their hometown of Nashville to commemorate it.
The SunTrust Bank Presents Lady Antebellum On This Winter's Night show will be held at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Dec. 3. Fans who can't make it to Music City to see the show live don't have to worry; the concert will be aired on Great American Country beginning Wednesday (Dec. 5) at 8PM ET.
Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood will bring their smooth sound to a mix of tunes for the concert, including holiday tracks from 'On This Winter's Night' (accompanied by a symphony orchestra) and some of their hits, such as 'Need You Now' and 'We Owned the Night.'
Opening for the trio will be acappella group Breath of Soul, who were hand-picked by Lady Antebellum to open the performance through online submissions. The group is comprised of Illinois natives Tony Marx, David Kempton and Jesse Upah and Las Vegas native Jake Black, who impressed the trio with their mix of silky harmonies, R&B rhythms and beatboxing. Check out Breath of Soul's medley of Lady Antebellum's 'We Owned the Night,' 'Just a Kiss,' and 'American Honey' here.

The tour of Club Industry columnist presentations at CI 2010 kept right on rolling along Thursday with Eddie Tock and Thomas Kulp, who shared the spotlight for "Sales and Retention: The Key Dynamics to a Successful Club."
Tock, who regularly writes for our Business Builders department and is a partner with REX Roundtables, says he's still learning about this industry every day through books, seminars and webinars. Everybody can take 30 minutes out of their day to read and learn, he said.
The industry has gotten away from execution and accountability in the past 20 years, Tock said. He added that many companies are still trying to sell the "magic pill" idea that will solve everybody's problems regarding exercise—to no avail.
Tock had some good quotes and formulas for attendees to bring back to their clubs. "Don't sell failure" was one of them. Results = knowledge + execution + consistency was another. The real sale begins after members join, Tock said.
Tock cited Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, who cut expenses by 5 percent every year, no matter how good a year the company had. He also cited author/speaker Jeffrey Gitomer, who says more sales are lost by poor questions to prospects than by price structure.
Kulp, co-owner of Universal Athletic Club in Lancaster, PA, CEO of Members4Ever and a Step by Step columnist, said his club's mission statement is simple: success through involvement. Kulp said he has few rules but an awful lot of guidelines, and he wants his staff to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Kulp recounted a great exchange on what not to say when a prospect asks about the purpose of an enrollment fee.
Staff member: "It's part of the pricing structure."
Prospect: "Fine. Then I won't pay it."
In other words, staff members should tell prospects exactly how their enrollment fee will be used, especially if it involves perks, such as additional personal training sessions.
Kulp also quoted a former Club Industry columnist, Sandy Coffman, who says prospects often ask club staff: "Do you have other people like me here?" Universal has both fit and unfit people in the club, Kulp said, and members tend to stick with members who share their same capabilities.

Now Seagate posts declining results. Can new tech lift it upwards?
And what's with the two new presidents... future CEO bunfight on horizon?
Seagate announced disappointing quarterly results but its underlying trends are positive as it makes big bets on new technologies.
In the quarter ended September 27 Seagate's revenues were $3.5 billion ($3.7 billion a year ago) with profits of $427 million ($582 million a year ago). The annual compare is coming off the tail-end of the Thai flood revenue and profit boost period. Setting that aside we can see Seagate returning to an underlying revenue and profits growth trend. Check out the chart to see this:
There has been an uptick compared to the previous quarter. Apart from this there's nothing surprising in the results; 57.6 million disk drives were shipped, plus a million SSDs and the disk average selling price continued gently, oh so gently, trending downwards.
However Seagate did make a couple of exec promotions and we can take stock of its disk and flash strategy compared to that of WD/HGST.
Exec uplifts
Two Seagate EVPs become full presidents. Dave Mosley,who was "EVP for Operations and R&D", has been named President, Operations and Technology, responsible for Seagate's "global hard drive, heads and media manufacturing operations, as well as global research and development"
What has really changed here, apart from the title on his business card?
Rocky Pimentel, who was "EVP and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer", has been named "President, Global Markets and Customers, responsible for Seagate's global customer engagement, sales, sales operations, product line management, marketing and retail activities."
Again, what has really changed here?
Seagate's grand high panjandum, president and CEO Steve Luczo, continues in post, saying the promotions "allow me to focus more on the longer term strategic opportunities for our company, and to increase my efforts around accelerating our mobile and cloud technology strategies."
Sounds like he's stepping back a bit and we have two potential successor CEOs fighting it out to succeed him.
Seagate and WD strategies
Luczo said: "We believe that the trajectory of long-term demand for storage is outpacing supply, and the markets that we serve are both expanding and changing rapidly." As well as the existing OEM and distribution channels; "We are also actively engaging with many new customers directly, especially in the cloud services market and with start-up businesses that are also pursuing innovative technical approaches for their storage infrastructures and lack significant go-to-market capabilities."
Against that background the company has four disk technology strategies:
- Hybrid flash/disk enterprise and desktop drives.
- Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) nearline drives; okay at reading but slow at rewriting. Unannounced as orderable product but a million have been shipped.
- Future higher-capacity drives using heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR).
- Kinetic drives with direct Ethernet addressing and object storage, and a wide 3rd party ecosystem to be developed.
Its main competition is WD, whose HGST subsidiary is enlarging disk capacity by producing 7-platter drives inside low-friction helium-filled enclosures. Normal drives have up to 4 or 5 platters. Undoubtedly WD/HGST will do shingling as well but whether it will produce Ethernet-accessed drives is open to question.
HGST is also WD's solid state storage hope with technology acquisitions such as sTec (enterprise SSDs), VeloBit (flash caching) and Virident (PCIe server flash) operated by HGST alongside its own Intel-based SSDs. Seagate has its Pulsar SSD line but this appears restricted in scope and potential compared to the HGST initiatives.
A paraphrased comparison between Seagate and WD would be:
- Seagate believes enterprise and desktop performance drives should be a mix of SAS SSD, hybrid disk and normal disk.
- WD believes those markets are best served by PCIe flash and SSDs plus ordinary disk drives.
- Seagate believes bulk data storage needs a mix of SMR (nearline data) and kinetic drives (objects).
- WD believes HGST's helium-filled dives are best for bulk data storage.
Both companies are producing thin 2.5-in drives for ultrabooks and similar space and power-constrained devices, with flash hybridisation being used where access speed is important. Both companies are also focussed on consumer/home file and media hub/cloud backend drives and systems, as well as small business filer storage.
There are no second sources for HGST helium-filled drives, nor, until WD/HGST or Toshiba start producing them, any second source for Seagate's shingled drives. The times, in disk drive land, they are a changin'. ®

Leather Care
- Never use detergents, polishes, preservers or saddle soap. They can remove natural oils.
- Dust or vacuum for routine maintenance.
- Do not place in direct sunlight; it will lighten or discolor leather over time.
- Dab spills immediately with a soft white cloth dampened in distilled water (not tap water). If spill penetrates leather, use lukewarm distilled water and a soft white cloth to massage stain and surrounding area. Blot with a dry cloth and allow leather to air dry.
- Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. Friction and heat from rubbing helps to redistribute wax in surrounding areas to cover the scratch. Not all scratches have the same depth, and this may not work on deeper scratches.

It is the start of a long, dangerous fire season, and there are spots in the South Bay that are especially vulnerable.
It is a challenging time for fire crews, as flames quickly devoured a 3,000 square-foot home in Gilroy Thursday, a very vivid reminder fire season is hitting the South Bay early and hard this year.
And because of the excessive fire danger, rangers closed Alum Rock Park in San Jose for two days this week.
"We are in critical fire mode and the fuel there is very dry and the humidity is very low," Capt. Cleo Doss of the San Jose Fire Department said.
San Jose firefighters are also keeping a close eye on this trouble zone, the creek bed near Kelly Park.
"There are areas that are very hard to access, and there is lots of overgrown vegetations," Doss said. "Plus, there are lots of folks who live there."
Some of the homeless who live down there also cook on camp fires, increasing the risk of embers igniting the thick brush. On Tuesday, a fire near the creek bed scorched half an acre and came within a few feet from nearby homes.
It is not just in San Jose. Throughout Santa Clara County, fire leaders said people are ripe with risk.
"You could drive around the entire rim of the valley and see trouble areas," Santa Clara County Fire Department Deputy Chief Joe Parker said. "That, coupled with dry weather, heat, and high winds. That's when you have problems."
The dry, hot weather, along with high winds, could create a fire that can destroy a home in minutes.

Possibly being discussed in *Official* thread... but as Dippenaar thumps Deonarine for a massive six Hinds and Smith have been exchanging words and stares aplenty... well, Hinds has.
It all starts with Michael Holding telling us that as a fellow Jamaican he could tell us what Hinds said but it'd not be fit for airing; Hinds then quite clearly does all he can to hit Smith, overstepping by about a mile and bowling quite the most blatant chuck you'll ever see.
Question in my mind is... what the hell is going on here? How can such a dire, nothing Test-match have something like this happen as the embers are glowing and preparing to go out?

While Apple dominated in the mobile market and is thriving with their line of laptops, they have never been able to grasp the home theater crowd with their video solutions, namely the first two revisions of the Apple TV (reviews here and here). Over three years from the release of the original Apple TV, Apple announced a new version of the Apple TV in combination with revisions of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano lines. This smaller, sleeker version of the Apple TV was priced considerably less than the MSRP of the original unit and the technology has changed dramatically. Along with the announcement of the Apple TV, Steve Jobs and company are taking a hard stance on standard pricing for content, very similar to their pricing decisions with music over iTunes. Television HD content is priced at 99 cents for a rental and new HD movies (available the same time DVD / Blu-ray hits stores) are priced at $4.99 for each rental. It's an interesting move that some television / movie studios are resisting, mostly because they believe it devalues their shows / theatrical releases and will cannibalize sales on DVD and other mediums.
If you are familiar with the size of the previous Apple TV, you are going to be completely shocked when you see the packaging and start unboxing the new player. The player is no larger than a hockey puck and is easily the smallest media player on the market (even compared to the Roku player or the Western Digital HD player). The player is about 4 inches in length / width and stands less than an inch off your home theater entertainment rack. It's a fourth of the size of the original Apple TV, thus placement of the new component is beyond simple. In fact, I placed the player on top of my Klipsch RC-64, matte black center speaker and had guests try to spot the Apple TV in the home theater setup. They were completely stumped! It blended in seamlessly with the home theater, something pretty fantastic for those lovers of minimalist home theater designs.
There's very little in the box beyond the player, the aluminum remote and the power cord. The remote is a vast improvement from the original white plastic remote and feels more solid on your hand due to the increased length. It's just as thin though; be careful losing it in the couch cushions. The remote has the familiar iPod dial design for navigation as well as a play / pause button and the menu button. On the back of the player, you will find the power jack, a mini-USB port, a Cat 5 network port for wired connections, a HDMI 1.4 port and an optical audio out for separate audio connections into your surround sound system. There's no HDMI cable or optical cables included with the player, so those will need to be purchased separately (if you don't already have them). The internal hardware uses the A4 1Ghz processor found in the speedy iPad, built-in 802.11N Wi-Fi , 8GB of internal flash memory for buffering / storing purchased content and 256MB of memory to handle menu operation / multitasking like playing audio in the background while navigating the menu. I'm guessing it also handles the nifty photo slide shows that pops up as a screen saver while it's idle.
When you boot up the Apple TV for the first time, you are greeted with language selection as well as wireless network selection (if you aren't hardwired in for Internet access) before launching into the menu. Similar to other Apple products, it's a really simple process. One caveat to completely getting up and running is entering in your user name / password for both iTunes / Netflix. It's a little time consuming to with the Apple TV remote, but thankfully you only have to do it once. If you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can use the Apple Remote application to control all the Apple TV functions and use the on screen keyboard for typing out the user name / password. It's also extremely helpful for typing out search queries.
Thankfully, there's no need for activating the Apple TV as an authorized device through the Netflix website, something that's annoying on Blu-ray players and gaming consoles. The menu is deadly simple to navigate and definitely nicer to look at than the original Apple TV's GUI due to the revolving box cover art loading at the top of the screen. It's also extremely snappy bouncing in and out of the sub menus, even when loading all the box art (something that the previous Apple TV struggled with on occasion).
The menu has headings for Movies, Television, Internet (which includes services like Netlfix / YouTube), Computers and Settings. The Movie and Television categories highlight the most popular content, but you do have the ability to search. One nice inclusion from the last Apple TV is the ability to view new movie trailers for upcoming theatrical releases. You can also see previews of many movies / television episodes to get an idea if you would enjoy watching it. In the Computers setting, you can connect to your home network and stream content to the Apple TV (assuming it meets the limited format types) from both Macs and PCs. It's unlikely that you will venture into the setting menu unless you are trouble shooting network problems, but there are plenty of audio / video tweaking options for those seeking a bit more control over quality.
As stated earlier, the Internet tab holds all the extras that Apple TV will roll out for connectivity to third party services. Currently, these include Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, iTunes Podcasts and Internet Radio. I've seen Netflix integration on about 10 devices at this point and this is easily the sleekest interface that I've come across. I was surprised that it blew away my previous favorite, the Xbox 360. You can pop into your Instant Queue or peruse content by arrival date / genre. Content box art flows across the screen and can be seen very easily from 15 feet away from the screen. You also have the ability to search Netflix's content library, a great addition for those that don't want to switch back to their laptop to setup new selections in their Instant Queue. Obviously, it's highly likely that you already own a device that streams Netflix into your home theater at this point, but the interface is vastly superior to other formats.
I didn't care for the Youtube application as much, mostly because the content on Youtube is hit or miss when it comes to HD quality. The Flickr application is great though and makes it easy to slide through photo presentations for friends. I also liked that the Internet radio app continued playing the music when I exited back out into the menu. I'm left wondering why there wasn't any Pandora included though. I realize that Apple wants you to spend money on music in iTunes, but nearly all new CE set-top boxes are including a version of the popular streaming music player.
One of the biggest challenges that Apple is facing with the Apple TV is a lack of premium content, likely due to their hard line stance on community pricing. Their movie coverage is better than the television episode library with about 8,000 movies to rent (nearly half are in 720p high definition). They are also keeping to the promise of having the most recent releases available for download with Get Them to the Greek and Iron Man 2 ready to be downloaded when I hooked up my review unit. On the Television side of the content library, there are only 4 studios supporting the AppleTV (Fox, ABC, Disney and the BBC). You won't find the latest episode of the Office on the Apple TV or the last season of the Big Bang Theory, although you can buy it on iTunes on your PC and stream it to the AppleTV for a higher cost. Apple's doing a poor job of getting the latest episodes up on time as well, especially for many ABC / FOX headlining show
s like House and Modern Family. My guess is that the studios are trying out the Apple TV as a test more so than fully supporting it. It's probably difficult to make a case for providing access to their programs for such a cheap price when other mediums like Hulu or their own proprietary players can deliver ads. Apple is also going to have a hard time competing against services like Amazon's VOD when they are offering access to many cable stations with shows like Mad Men.
As mentioned earlier, the Apple TV plays a limited number of video formats. For those who rip their content to file formats like Divx or even just AVI, you won't find compatibility in the Apple TV. It has to be in MP4, MOV or M4V format to be streamed onto your AppleTV. Streaming from a hardwired computer (or media server) to a wireless Apple TV works flawlessly, but streaming from a wireless laptop to a wireless Apple TV didn't fare as well with our tests. You will likely be greeted with numerous buffering screens due to the stress on your wireless network. It makes me wonder how successful AirPlay will be when it rolls out for the Apple TV in November. AirPlay is designed to work in conjunction with iOS4 devices (iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch) and push the application to the Apple TV. Apple's allowing third party developers to stream their application data to the Apple TV and it may not be just limited to music / video. The ability to control your apps while watching your television may just be the game changer that gets the Apple TV into iPhone / iPad owners home theater systems.
Audio / Video Quality
Interested in seeing how the Apple TV stacked up against the competition, I compared 720p streaming content on four other platforms: the Xbox 360, the Samsung BD-3600, the Roku XDS player and my Time Warner HD cable box. I was using Iron Man and some of my favorite episodes of Lost as a basis of comparison. There are difficult to see a clear difference in Iron Man, but the diverse locales (and various lighting changes) in season 4 of Lost really showed how much cleaner the Apple TV was able to handle image quality. There's a definitely superiority to their encoding process for video and it was evident in the streaming quality of the video. There was less of that pesky blocky pixelation that you see so often on streaming content with low-bitrate encoding. Regarding audio, there was little difference in any of the players, with the exception of the terrible Time Warner audio clipping problems. The 5.1 surround sound tracks all sounded excellent for streaming quality. Of course, the Apple TV doesn't hold a candle to 1080p video on Blu-ray discs or 7.1 DTS surround mixes, but it's the best cloud-based streaming solution that I've seen so far in terms of A/V quality.
Apple has a definite problem with the Apple TV. Without more content or applications to support the platform, it's going to have a hard time competing with other more complete offerings like the Roku XDS, Boxee's upcoming hardware release or even existing set-top boxes. Apple needs to find a way to convince the other television studios to jump on board, but I would wager that wouldn't be announced until next year.
That being said, the Apple TV is a fantastic piece of hardware. The streamlined interface, speedy responsiveness, excellent Netflix design, superior streaming A/V quality and relatively low price compared to other Apple products are more than enough to consider a purchase. If they add the ability to stream all applications (I'm looking at you, Hulu Plus) from other Apple devices with Airplay, expect to see legions of Apple fanatics integrating the Apple TV into their existing home theater setups before the end of the holiday season.

I didn't even know what shakshuka meant till I opened Yottam Ottolenghi's book Plenty and found the recipe. Immediately, the picture arrested me. Of course we had to make it and once we did, shakshuka become a favorite in our house and among our friends.
We've made it again and again tweaking it just a little every time, adding one vegetable, or a spice till it was perfect for sharing.
Although there are several versions of this North African dish, the most common recipe involves eggs that are softly cooked in a hot skillet of spiced tomato and vegetable sauce. And the interesting combination of seasoning in which the eggs are cooked has stayed in our memory ever since we made it first. I mean, I had no idea that just adding saffron to the eggs would make such and interesting flavor!
We've tweaked the original recipe from Yottam a little bit adding an Indian flavor to the North African dish and hope that it will become a favorite in your kitchen too.
(adapted from Yottam's Plenty, serves 4-6)
1/2 tspoon cumin seeds
3-4 tbspoon olive oil or vegetable oil
2 large onions, sliced
1 red and 1yellow peppers, cut into thin strips
bunch of greens
1/2 tspoon brown sugar
¼ tspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ tspoon cumin seed powder
¼ tspoon turmeric powder
2 bay leaves
4-5 curry leaves
bunch of chopped coriander and parsley
2 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
½ tin chopped tomatoes
good couple of pinches of saffron threads
1 cayenne pepper
1/4 cup water
6 eggs
salt to taste
In a very large pan dry-roast the cumin seeds on a high heat for 2 minutes then grind them to a powder. Set aside
Add the oil and then temper it with bay leaves and curry leaves. Then add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the peppers, turmeric powder sugar and half of the cilantro and parsley mix and cook for another 5 minutes.
Then, add the tomatoes, saffron, cumin seed powder, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-11 minutes. During the cooking keep adding water so that the mix has a gravy consistency.
This mix can also be prepared in advance and the eggs can be added the day of the brunch/breakfast.
Now make gaps in the pepper mix and carefully break an egg into each gap. Sprinkle with salt and cover the pans with lids. Cook on a gentle heat for another 8-10 minutes, or till the eggs have set.
Sprinkle with leftover cilantro and parsley mix and serve with chunky bread.

A unique law will be tested in a Nova Scotia courtroom for the first time when government lawyers argue later this month that someone accused of making online threats should be ordered to stop the alleged cyberbullying.
Attorneys for the province's Justice Department will present the case in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax on Feb. 11 under the Cyber-safety Act, one-of-a-kind legislation aimed at addressing the rising number of cyberbullying claims.
Roger Merrick, director of public safety, says the case is an important test of the law and is being closely watched by other provinces interested in coming up with ways to shut down and prevent online harassment.
"It's a milestone for us," he said in an interview. "I think it's very important for us to do this, obviously for the protection of the complainant in this case and we'll see how it proceeds."
The case centres on allegations by Andrea Paul, the chief of the Pictou Landing First Nation, who says Christopher George Prosper was posting negative and threatening comments about her and her family on several Facebook sites.
According to an affidavit from Dana Bowden, an officer with Nova Scotia's CyberSCAN unit, Prosper called Paul a "crook, backstabbing b–ch, two-faced to our elders. Your fake smile needs a punch in the face. …"
Paul contacted the CyberSCAN unit, the first of its kind in the country to be tasked with investigating all complaints of cyberbullying in the province.
Bowden met with Prosper and told him he was being investigated. Bowden says in her affidavit that Prosper admitted to creating a Facebook page about the chief, but agreed to delete it and avoid communication with Paul.
In her affidavit, Paul says she has known Prosper for much of his life and alleges that he resumed posting negative comments about her on his Facebook page.
"This whole ordeal has been a nightmare and I have felt powerless about how to deal with him," she said in her affidavit.
Paul would not comment on the case, while Prosper could not be reached for comment. She is seeking a prevention order against him, which says he should remove all messages about her deemed to be cyberbullying, not contact her and refrain from cyberbullying.
None of the allegations in the case has been proven in court.
Wayne MacKay, a cyberbullying expert and law professor at Dalhousie University, said the new law fills a void by allowing people to try to resolve these kinds of cases in civil proceedings.
MacKay says the language of the act and the breadth of the prevention order apply the same logic used in domestic violence cases where restraining orders are imposed.
"It is important because you're kind of blazing new territory and I think it will be interesting to see how it is applied in this kind of case," he said. "It is applying preventive measures and that's quite important."
He will be watching too to see if anyone challenges the law on constitutional grounds.
The law was passed after the case of Rehtaeh Parsons, who was taken off life-support last April after a suicide attempt. Her family says the 17-year-old was subjected to months of bullying after a digital photo of her allegedly being sexually assaulted in November, 2011, was passed around her school.
Complaints are usually handled in an informal process, which involves talking to the accused about the allegations. Critics have suggested these informal calls, which can include requests to delete material, could be seen as a form of intimidation that infringes on freedom of speech.
If informal methods fail, the unit can issue court orders to confiscate computers, cellphones and other mobile devices. Those who disobey the orders can be fined up to $5,000 and face a jail sentence of up to six months.
Complainants also have the option of going directly to a justice of the peace to seek a protection order. Two cases have been settled that way.
The unit has received 93 complaints since the end of September, with just over half still active while the remainder were either informally resolved, handed over to police or didn't require further action.

Hayden Has to Work
His latest film Awake opened to dismal reviews and disastrous box office numbers. Another professional embarrassment is going straight to DVD – which would actually be GOOD news. Because what was once titled The Decameron, a film Hayden Christensen shot with Mischa Barton two years ago, has now become Angels & Saints or maybe Virgin Territory and even Guilty Pleasures… and if you're cringing now of course you know what the studio must have been thinking:
What a colossal waste of money. Let's bury this sh*t as soon possible.
Of course there's also Factory Girl which Hayden refused to promote due to a supposed rift with Harvey Weinstein. As you know Factory Girl also underperformed and while the responsibility for that one certainly doesn't fall on his shoulders, suffice to say… Hayden's career prospects aren't looking so hot. Especially not for someone so hyped just a few short years ago.
So no wonder the big splash:
Hayden, Rachel, and Sam Jackson showed up in Vegas at the weekend to premiere Jumper – no, not the movie, but the movie trailer. A TRAILER! It's overkill, yes…but it's also very necessary.
The young lovers made an appearance at the Spike TV Video Game Awards too, presenting on stage and word is the two are pretty hot together. Long, lingering looks, palpable chemistry, and why not? He'd be dumb and blind not to hold on to Rachel Bilson – this girl is gorgeous! And nice and sweet and not turned off by his bad acting. Rachel is a keeper then, non?
