text: European Commission Work Programme 2016: 'No time for business as usual' Regulatory Update Share this 7 JAN 2016 By: Jeroen Jansen Federica Boledi Ana Laura Blanco Cecilia Bellelli According to the European Commission Work Programme 2016 entitled 'No time for business as usual', this year the European Union is facing new challenges to which the Commission wants to respond in an ambitious and fruitful way. Below you will find a list of initiatives included in the Work Programme 2016 that may have an impact on the operations of your clients. Indeed, many of the new proposals and plans for 2016 are likely to influence business activities of not only companies based within the European Union, but also at a global level. Our team in Brussels is in an excellent position to further brief clients on the scope of the EU legislative initiatives, as well as to present the clients' views and positions to policy makers and stakeholders. The announced initiatives will bring changes to national and European legislation in various fields and therefore will affect companies in all EU Members States as well as non-European companies doing business in the EU. We have selected the main policy initiatives which may have an impact on DLA Piper's clients businesses. A new boost for jobs, growth and investment One of the Commission's top priority is to boost growth and jobs. In this regard, the Commission is committed to help European companies to make the most of the opportunities of the Single Market, to grow and compete on a global scale. In order to do this, the Commission will focus on improving the investment environment and deepening the Single Market. Concretely, the Commission will: Boost the European Economy fostering the implementation of the €315 billion Investment Plan, including the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), and Implement the Action Plan on the Circular Economy, creating new opportunities for innovative companies and environmentally efficient businesses. A connected digital single market The Digital Single Market is considered a key element of the 10 priorities of Junker's five-year term. The Commission aims to present all relevant proposals in this area before the end of 2016 in order to achieve a fully functional Digital Single Market which is expected to generate up to €250 billion of additional growth in Europe. In particular, the proposals in this area will focus on: New initiatives on copyright, geo-blocking, free flow of data, the cloud and VAT, with a view to boosting the e-commerce sector Reviewing in a comprehensive way the telecoms regulatory framework, and Modifying EU legislations on audio-visual and media services, on satellite and cable and on consumer protection cooperation. Resilient energy union with a forward-looking climate change policy The Commission's Energy Union Strategy aims to secure Europe's energy supply and reduce import dependency by integrating national energy markets, moving to a de-carbonized economy, promoting energy efficiency and boosting research, innovation and competitiveness. In 2016, the Commission aims to move up most of the items foreseen in the Energy Union roadmap. The proposals in this area will focus on: Proposing new initiatives for sectors outside the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), such as buildings, agriculture and the de-carbonization of transport Promoting the use of non-discriminatory road charging schemes based on the polluter-pays and user-pays principles Creating a single European transport area in order to allow a more efficient use of the existing road infrastructure and a more flexible use of fleet capacity Boosting initiatives on new energy market design, on reaching 15% electricity interconnection, on energy security supply and efficiency, and Developing an integrated strategy for the Energy Union research, innovation and competitiveness. A deeper and fairer internal market The European Commission is committed to boost the opportunities for companies generated by the Single Market by fostering the Internal Market's full potential and adapting it to the changing economic conditions. The Commission wants the European market to become a launch pad for companies and industry to thrive in the global economy. The proposals in this area will focus on: Promoting concrete measures in order to help start-ups to grow by releasing the potential of the new business models emerging form the collaborative economy Facilitating access to finance by SMEs and start-ups and addressing regulatory obstacles to their growth Adopting new initiatives on preventive restructuring procedures and on giving a second chance to entrepreneurs after bankruptcy Adopting a new strategy for unleashing the full benefit of European space Programmes such as Galileo and Copernicus Adopting an action plan on the defence market and delivering a follow-up to the aviation strategy Presenting an action plan on VAT with further steps towards an efficient and fraud-proof definitive regime and initiatives on VAT rates and e-commerce in the context of the Digital Single Market Presenting new measures to enhance transparency of the corporate tax system and fight tax avoidance. In this field, the Commission aims to make further progress towards a fair, efficient and growth-friendly corporate taxation. A deeper and fairer economic and monetary union The Commission intends to step forward towards a more resilient and prosperous Economic and Monetary Union by improving the democratic accountability of our economic governance system and enhancing the representation of the euro area within international organizations (notably the IMF). The proposals in this area will focus on: Promoting convergence in the economic and fiscal situation in the euro area by removing national barriers to investment, and Developing a European Pillar of social rights, addressing the gaps in existing social policy legislation and identifying social benchmarks built on best practices in the Member States with a view to upwards convergence of the labour market, skills and social protection. Trade: A reasonable and balanced free trade agreement with the US The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement (TTIP) with the US remains a top priority for 2016.

I am using MS Access 2000 as a frontend and MS SQL Server 2000 as a backend.
But, when I eliminate MS Access and use SQL Server Views, I still get unexpected
When I attempt to delete a row from the query, the delete fails with a COLUMN
constraint error. It appears that a cascading delete is being attempted
even though cascading
delete is not on for the relationship.
To troubleshoot and explain the problem, I created two simple tables and
created a relationship
between them as follows:
In SQL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[_City] (
[id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[CityName] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[_Persons] (
[id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[PersonName] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[fkCity_id] [int] NOT NULL)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[_Persons] ADD
CONSTRAINT [FK__Persons__City] FOREIGN KEY
) REFERENCES [dbo].[_City] (
So, we have two tables, Persons and City, related in that each person lives
in a city. The
relationship enforces referential integrity with cascading updates, but NOT
cascading deletes.
id Primary Key
PersonName varchar 50
fkCity_ID fk to the City table
id Primary Key
CityName varchar 50
Here is what the JOIN (view) looks like:
SELECT dbo._Persons.id, dbo._Persons.PersonName, dbo._Persons.fkCity_id,
FROM dbo._Persons LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo._City ON dbo._Persons.fkCity_id = dbo._City.id
If I created the join in an Access Query, the behavior is intermittant.
Sometimes, I'm able to
delete and other times I get the constraint violation. When I create the
join in a SQL Server
2000 view, I seem to always get the constraint violation. I have not been
able to determine why
the activity is intermittant in MS Access.
I also traced the SQL Server activity using MS Profiler, and when the delete
fails, I see that a
delete is being attempted first on the City table (as if CASCADING deletes
is enabled).

Y'all. We've been so busy. I don't want to blog. Well, I want to get my thoughts out, but I also want to play Candy Crush, watch TV, and let my mind veg. Usually after the kids go to bed, the last 3 things win out (well those and laundry). Laundry, oh you are my nemesis.
So, here are a few tidbits of info.
Caden has settled in at his new school. He's still making all A's. He just turned 8, and he had 6 buddies over for his party. They went bowling and 5 of them spent the night. They had SO. MUCH. FUN. He had the time of his life. We have been incredibly blessed by some sweet boys who are his age. We are so thankful!
JL has started kindergarten. Like I said in my last post, he was the first golden apple in his class, such an honor. He has also received 3 bug awards for "Being Unusually Good." He continues to be thoughtful, caring, and compassionate. We are so proud of the boy he is becoming.
EK is progressing in her language by leaps and bounds. We have changed therapists and they mesh so well. We are so thankful for Mrs. Kelli. She is a GOD SEND. EK has caught up to her hearing age, and now we need to get her caught up to her actual age. So thankful for the progress we are making. She is still in Pre-K at CCPS. She is loving school and she is doing really well. She enjoys going, which makes it so much easier for me to drop her off. She's my other half, so it's weird when she's not with me. EK was golden apple for her class a few weeks ago. What an honor for her. So thankful she is an example of good behavior in her classroom.
My dad got to go to "Pumpkin Carving with Dad" for JL's class. Jeb had to work, so I was thankful Dad was able to take time out of his day to hang out with JL. He even came early and ate lunch with me. :) Love my daddy!
Jeb took 2 of his best friends to the UT vs. UA game a few weeks ago. We all went to the quad to tailgate, and had a blast.
The next day the girls and I went to Target and the guys watched the kids. They climbed a tree.
Then there was Halloween. It was supposed to rain on Halloween (which it did. bah!), so we went out to a church trunk or treat on the day before Halloween. EK was Rapunzel. She is slightly obsessed with Rapunzel right now. Caden was a soccer player. He's not the dressing up type. We told him if he didn't dress up he didn't get candy…he decided to be a soccer player. JL was Yoda. He lives to dress up.
I have made it a priority to eat lunch with the boys once a week. They don't get a lot of one on one attention, so I choose days EK is at school and I eat with them. I am so thankful they still enjoy seeing me at lunch. It won't be that way forever.
Here's Caden with his buddies from his bday party. Love it!
He chose Shogun for his birthday dinner. He LOVED the bday candle. He wasn't a fan of the ice-cream. I was green tea. EK LOVED it though.
JL lost his first tooth. I tried to pull it out at home, but he HAD to wait till school for it to come out. He was a determined little guy because it was out that afternoon when I picked him up. He was so excited to get his sticker at school (you only get the sticker if the tooth comes out at school) and to add to to the tooth tally.
We all were really missing Disney, and we were able to make a reservation at there over Thanksgiving. I am so incredibly excited! We're going for JL's bday and EK is just to the point where she is in LOVE with the characters and such. So so excited to see her there. She's finally excited about all of those things, and seeing characters, and all things Disney.
JL and EK had their Veteran's Day program last week. It was great! We are so thankful for our Veteran, Grandaddy. He served in the Korean War. He has come to Caden's programs the past 2 years, and now to JL and EK's. He did make it to Caden's for the last 5 minutes this year. Hopefully they won't conflict next year.
One of my best friends went with EK and I to Disney on Ice. EK was in awe of Mickey and Minnie. She had a blast. So glad we got to go!
We have a lot of trees where we live. And this time of year, that means we have a lot of leaves. I mean, like a ridiculous amount of leaves. I've semi raked the front yard, and this is what happened. Leaves are so fun to play in, and they were so deep the kids could hide in them. :) We LOVE all of our neighbors. It is so fun to have so many kids out here. Unfortunately there are no boys, but our boys make due.
And, last but not least, we had pictures yesterday. Here's the before and the after. It's not as bad in this pic as it was in real life. After pictures we went to Yogurt Mountain and they had chocolate and whip cream all over their faces and shirts. It was hilarious. These 3 keep me laughing, keep me on my toes, and show me what's important in life. I love them to pieces.

Meet Marks End of Indoor Season
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs will travel to Boston this weekend for the indoor IC4A Championships. They will compete alongside several athletes from the Division I schools in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions who have qualified for the IC4As based on performance standards. The meet, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday at Boston University, will wrap up the indoor season for the Bulldogs.
Head coach David Shoehalter has high expectations for both freshman Mike Levine and senior Eric DePalo after their exceptional performance at indoor Heptagonals Championships last weekend. After a huge PR at Heptagonals that qualified him for IC4As, Levine is looking strong in the weight throw. DePalo also had his best performance of the season in the pole vault last week and should perform well at IC4As.
"Both Eric DePalo and Mike Levine had great performances at the Heps but there's more there. I'm looking forward to seeing them end their indoor seasons with personal bests," Shoehalter said.
The Bulldogs will compete in both the 4x800-meter relay and the distance medley relay this weekend. Those relay teams should have strong contributions from senior Chris Labosky, junior Matt Bogdan as well as others. Labosky should provide strength in the relays, coming off both a win and a season best in the 1,000-meter run at Heptagonals.
The 4x400 meter relay team should also prove competitive, with senior David Soiles, juniors Marty Evans and Chris Stanley and sophomore Matt Bieszard. Both Evans and Bieszard have been posting sub-50 times throughout the season.
The IC4As also give the opportunity for the Bulldogs to end the indoor season on a strong note.
"It's' the final meet of the indoor season and will set the tone for outdoors," Shoehalter said.
Saturday's competition kicks off with the heptathlon 55-meter dash at 11 a.m. and ends with the preliminaries of the 4x400-meter relay at 4:50 p.m. Final events on Saturday include the pole vault and the weight throw. A complete schedule can be found here. Results will be posted on Lancertiming.com and Yalebulldogs.com after the meet.

Volunteer for KNOM Radio
Serve an amazing part of our world.
Be a radio DJ. Report on breaking news – live. Immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of the Alaskan Arctic. And finish your service term with money for school.
As a KNOM volunteer fellow, a year of service means so much.
Throughout Western Alaska, KNOM is a source of information, inspiration, and companionship; since 1971, KNOM's full-time volunteer fellows have made that possible. Today, they're on the front lines of the station's daily operations.
All volunteer fellows gain invaluable experience in live, on-air radio: whether through announcing music, reporting on breaking news, hosting current-affairs talk shows, or covering the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. From Nome, they often fly to remote villages to cover traditional festivals and events.
In exchange for one full year of service, each fellow receives room and board, round-trip air transportation, health insurance, a monthly cash stipend, and, at the end of the service year, an educational fellowship award (more below). All live together in a comfortable home near the studios.
And if you're planning on going back to school – or if you have student loans to pay off – we can help. Successful candidates who finish one year of service receive an educational award to cover past or future education expenses. Volunteers with existing student loans typically have no problem getting their loans deferred for the duration of their service year.
Prior broadcasting experience is not necessary to volunteer at KNOM. Successful applicants are hard working, self-motivated individuals who can think on their feet and whose actions demonstrate care and concern for others.
Make it your mission. Serve as a volunteer fellow for KNOM Radio.

The following was originally posted on my now defunct personal family history blog more than five years ago. I'm moving it to this space and adding some appropriate FindAGrave links...
|Enhanced image.
Original by Kelli
Smythe via FindAGrave.
The picture of Ben on his memorial, as well as his year of death, led me to search the World War II Honor List of Dead. Sure enough, I found him. TSgt Ben F. Zumwalt from Kerr County, Texas "died, non-battle." I assumed he died of sickness or something like that. I was not prepared for what I found next.
A casual search of Ancestry's Historical Newspaper Collection resulted in an article from the San Antonio Light (Texas) dated 21 May 1943:
2 Texans Die In Chicago Plane CrashThat was certainly a tragedy. Here is the irony from a Dallas Morning News (Texas) article dated 26 February 1942, less than 15 months before Ben's death:
The public relations office of the Fort Worth army air field Friday had disclosed the names of the nine crew members and of one of three passengers aboard a B-24 army bomber which crashed into the world's largest illuminating gas storage tank at Chicago Thursday.
Bodies in the wreckage were consumed in a blaze which destroyed the 500-foot tank surmounted by a 50-foot air beacon.
The bomber, groping its way at only 100 feet altitude through unfavorable weather, smashed into the tank filled with 18,000,000 cubic feet of illuminating gas, causing an explosion that rocked southwest Chicago.
Flames shot hundreds of feet. They were followed by a dense pall of smoke which spread over the region as tar used for sealing the tank burned and smoldered.
The tank, except for about 100 feet at the base, was demolished. Huge pieces of steel plate, some of them as big as the front of a two-story house, were hurled 100 yards or more.
The heat was so intense that temperatures rose for nearly a mile away. Windows in some of the homes in the sparsely settled section were too hot to touch.
...The toll of 12 dead was the greatest in any plane disaster in the Chicago area.
The flight was in charge of Capt. James R. Gilcrease of Fort Worth, commanding officer of the 1014th squadron and a flight instructor.
Others of the crew:
Second Lieut. David S. Alter, an instructor from Pittsburgh, Pa., who was married about six weeks ago. His widow resides in Fort Worth.
First Lieut. Harry B. Messick Jr., of Indianapolis, who was in charge of [the] navigation section of the field's ground school and navigator for the flight. His wife resides in Fort Worth.
Second Lieuts. Frederick L. Dutl of Wadsworth, Ohio, and John C. Wallace, son of Mrs. Henrietta Wallace, of Luling, student officers.
Pfc. Nick Lonebar of Wierton, W.Va.; Sgt. Arthur A. Huber of Queens, N.Y.; Staff Sgt. Norman W. Yutzy, Canton, Ohio, and Technical Sgt. Ben F. Zumwalt of Ingram, Texas, aerial engineers.
The identified passenger was Capt. A. W. Lent of Hamilton field, Calif...
Reads Own Obituary, Enjoys It, Too, Writes Pearl Harbor SurvivorMy connection: Ruben F. Zumwalt was a 2nd cousin, 1x removed of husband of 4th cousin, 4x removed.
KERRVILLE, Texas, Feb. 25 -- How it feels to read your own obituary in your home-town newspaper is described in a letter received here from Ruben Zumwalt, Kerr county youth attached to the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii. In mid-December [an] official report from Washington to Zumwalt's parents said he had died as a result of the Jap attack on Dec. 7. The young man's obituary was published locally before mail from him definitely established that he was still alive, and that the government report was in error.
Upon reading the obituary published here, young Zumwalt wrote back, telling his feelings. "I could not help grinning a little when I read it, and enjoyed it immensely," he wrote. "Realizing that it is a rare thing for a man to have the opportunity of reading his own obituary, I thought you might like to know I appreciated it." In closing he said he hoped the obituary wouldn't have to be reprinted "for a long, long time to come." [Emphasis mine.]

View from a Downtown Apartment, Sierra Club Responds to Critics
View from a Downtown Apartment
The other evening my 21 month old great-granddaughter Maeve came to dinner with her parents. As she gazed out the window of my downtown Berkeley apartment, she said "Look, look, moon up in the sky". At first I was enchanted to think she was already contemplating the universe and then it struck me that, if we don't vote responsibly against Measure R, soon there will be no view of the moon to fill her with wonder.
Bonnie Hughes
Downtown Shattuck Avenue Resident
An Open Letter to Victoria Peirotes
Re: An Open Letter Responding to a Solicitation from the Sierra Club East Bay Chapter
Thank you for your past support of the Sierra Club. We feel it is important to respond to your concerns as outlined in your "open letter" in the Daily Planet, as they have been echoed by other Berkeley residents and Sierra Club members.
First, we did not take any money in return for endorsing Measure R. We made our decision independently, after discussion amongst the elected leadership of the Northern Alameda County Group (all unpaid volunteers.) We are supporting Measure R for environmental policy reasons only. Measure R is a vision for downtown Berkeley that includes much of what the Sierra Club has for years been advocating for in the Downtown Area Planning (DAP) process, specifically :
- A plan for a vibrant pedestrian plaza along Center Street between Oxford and Shattuck, with Center closed to automotive traffic except for emergencies and for deliveries at certain times of the day (the "Walter Hood proposal" for Center Street - adopted by City Council independently of Measure R).
- Establishment of a transportation fund to provide enhanced transit services and an open-space fund.
- An affordable-housing requirement (as much as 20% on-site for some buildings).
- The requirement of "LEED Gold" designation in new buildings—among the highest environmental building standards—including such features as passive solar, recycling of storm water, energy efficiency, and green roofs.
- "Unbundled" parking and housing which requires that residential units and parking spaces be rented out separately, so that residents are not required to pay for parking, and parkers will pay their share of costs.
- The principle of conditioning any new density in the downtown on the provision of environmental amenities.
Regarding density, which is admittedly a controversial issue, the Sierra Club has advocated throughout the downtown planning process for moderate increases in density, as long as the increases are specifically tied to provision of substantial environmental and transit amenities. We believe that the ballot measure provides this linkage. We also see a clear link between a moderate increase in density and reducing climate-change-causing emissions, primarily from automobiles, as people will not be forced to commute into Berkeley from far-away places on a daily basis for work or study, if they live downtown.
On balance, the Club believes that the positive accomplishments that it has pushed for and achieved make Measure R worthy of support. Moreover, we will continue to push for stronger wording in the next phase as the city develops zoning-amendment language.

In-Fill Housing and Measure R
In the two and half years I served on Berkeley's Zoning Adjustments Board (1998–2000), we approved projects with many hundreds of new units downtown, most of which have since been built. So the idea that in-fill housing is somehow not happening under current standards is simply untrue.
And if Council had adopted either the DAPAC plan for downtown (which reflected hundreds of hours of community process and genuine compromises) or the plan Councilmember Arreguin later proposed, there would also be additional in-fill housing, but it would come with enforceable requirements for community benefits, such as an Open Space Fund, affordable housing, fair wages, and green building standards and amenities, not the "wish list" of Measure R's "plan to have a plan," and it would come without gutting protections for landmarks.
The truth is we could already have had a greener downtown plan resulting in greater density with community benefits (and without compromising quality of life in nearby neighborhoods) if the Council majority hadn't opted instead to place Measure R on the ballot. Since UC has in theory agreed to abide by the standards of whatever plan is adopted, it's quite possible that the increased height limits and weakening of landmarks protections proposed by R will simply serve to give the University the green light to build higher office buildings downtown, which can hardly be considered green!
Anyone contemplating voting for Measure R needs to understand that it contains poison pills (requirements gutting the landmarks preservation ordinance downtown and increasing heights) that tie the Council's hands on the very aspects that are so controversial in our community. All these poison pills will do is guarantee another citizen referendum of whatever plan this "plan to have a plan" results in, thereby delaying the adoption of a real green plan and subverting attempts to bring the community together, quite possibly for years. Anyone who thinks passing Measure R will somehow put a quick end to the to-date lengthy process to come up with a green downtown plan isn't paying attention!
It's too bad that the Sierra Club didn't have the information on the big developer dollars pouring into the Yes on R campaign before they took their position. No on R! Enough of greenwashing!

Another Reason Why You Should Vote NO on Measures H and I
There is now convincing evidence that the proponents of Measures H and I are removing No-on-H-and-I signs. This is a tactic that was employed in the 2008 campaign for Measure LL, when signs and banners opposing the Measure were removed. (The Measure would have gutted Berkeley's Landmark Preservation Ordinance and thus given developers additional freedom to do as they pleased in this city.) But Measure LL was defeated, and so perhaps the use of the same shameful tactics by proponents of Measures H and I is a sign that these Measures, too, will be defeated. Let us hope so.
Just in case you haven't been following the battle over these Measures: opponents feel that both Measures are vaguely-worded and amount to a blank check for the School District to once again do as it pleases with taxpayer money. Consider that there are no project-by-project estimates for most of the wonderful-sounding projects listed in Measure I. And yet the District somehow knows that the total cost of these projects will be $210 million! (Plus several hundred million in interest payments.)
Perhaps stealing the opposition's signs is only inevitable in a campaign aimed at getting taxpayers to support such financial chicanery.

Yes on 24
On November 2nd, we have a chance to do what so many of us have been dreaming about. Follow the money, we've been told.. well, that's what Proposition 24, the Tax Fairness Act is about. Though its opponents try to present it as a bad deal for small business and employees, in fact, it has nothing to do with small businesses. The loopholes this prop is attempting to repeal address only big business. This is an opportunity to get the top 2% to begin to pay their fair share. We're turning into cattle, going along with the deception and battle plans of the corporations that control the airwaves and most of our politicians. It's increasingly difficult to read between the lines - and that's exactly what they want. Don't fall for it, Yes on Prop 24.

Keep Berkeley Schools Beautiful!
Some of us remember what it was like in the 1990's, before we had a parcel tax for school maintenance here in Berkeley. There were too few people and almost no supplies to keep up with the demands of maintaining 100 school buildings and extensive grounds. Thanks to generous support of our taxpayers, we were able to pass a maintenance parcel tax nearly 10 years ago, which we hope to renew this fall.
The current state of Berkeley School facilities is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our community to put schools first. Berkeley offers bright and functional school buildings, sports fields and playgrounds. Your parcel tax dollars have paid for landscaping, playground equipment, shade and blind replacements, upgrades to security, heating and lighting systems, stage curtains, sound systems, floor resurfacing and window repairs, to name just a few of the hundreds of projects we've completed in the last decade. As a five-year member of the citizen's oversight committee for this parcel tax, I have been impressed with the efforts of the district maintenance department to work cooperatively and transparently with school staff, parents and community members to keep our campuses in good working order.
In light of all the progress we have made in making our school facilities great, let's not turn our backs on our schools now. I hope you will join me in voting "Yes!" on Measures H & I for Berkeley Schools.

If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

To reinforce what Bob has said, fraud is RAMPANT. Don't assume because it's on eBay that someone has checked its legitimacy. Many, many software packages are sold illegitimately there.
Ask yourself this: At this point in time, when Photoshop CS5 is brand new, why would ANYONE be discounting it deeply?

Amazon sells real software... and I am sure there are many other honest dealers... too many cases of fraud reported for me to buy software from eBay

Hi Team
I look forward to buy Photoshop CS5 one day because of its comprehensive features. To me, there is nothing else that can beat Adobe Photoshop for its purposes.
I hesitate (at this moment) because of the price.
This question has been on my mind for some time already. Yes, I am tempted to buy from eBay because there appears to be "good deals" ... very good deals :-)
What if I get the serial number from the seller (before I buy) and check with Adobe if that serial number is valid (or "unused" ?) will Adobe give me the "go ahead" to buy from a seller at eBay?
5. Re: Can I buy PS5 the eBay or other website or not ?Noel Carboni Jul 14, 2011 8:35 AM (in response to APete2011)
No legitimate seller is likely to give you the serial number before you buy it. That's called "giving away the farm" because the serial number is the key to everything.
You are advised not to try to be suckered into a too-good-to-be-true deal, because sooner or later such a transaction will leave you out in the cold with no working Photoshop. Adobe actively disables Photoshop from running with illegitimate serial numbers. Illegitimate sellers are out there, and they know how to make their stuff look very good to you, and also how to be long gone by the time you realize you've been scammed.
Think about it... No eBayer can legitimately discount Photoshop deeply - Adobe just doesn't discount it that deeply to them! Why should they? They're getting full retail price from their online site!
Are you a student? Do you know that there's a very good student discount directly from Adobe?
6. Re: Can I buy PS5 the eBay or other website or not ?APete2011 Jul 14, 2011 9:01 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)
Hi Noel,
Thank you for your response. It's enlightening!
You are correct: "the serial number is the key to everything". Yep! It
boils down to that
I had also been considering buying CS3 or CS4 versions in the faint hope
that that "would not be too bad"
... but now I think you have put me on the correct path
I guess I got to just spend the money on the original soon and look at the
long-term returns.
Thanks again for writing

Keep in mind that once you've bought Photoshop, each new release is offered at a much more modest upgrade price, and you don't have to buy every single one (for example, you can upgrade to Photoshop CS5 Standard from Photoshop CS2 or newer for about 200 bucks).
There are some advantages to buying directly from Adobe.com - your purchase is associated directly and automatically with your Adobe ID, so you have a little less to do / keep track of and upgrades in the future, tech support, etc. are better integrated.

Bellator 89 saw the promotion take up residence at the Bojangles' Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C., featuring the Bellator bantamweight title bout between champion Eduardo Dantas and Marcos Galvao, as well as, the quarterfinal round of the middleweight tournament.
Eduardo Dantas vs. Marcos Galvao
The bantamweight title bout between Dantas and Galvao was much more than the usual battle for the belt. The two are teammates and training partners at Nova Uniao, Galvao being Dantas' senior by six years, but more importantly, the mentor in their relationship.
It certainly couldn't be an easy task for either fighter, especially coming from a background steeped in the traditions of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where seniority and lineage weighs heavily in relationships.
The younger champion, Dantas, made it evident from the beginning that his speed in the stand-up game was going to be a difficult proposition for the heavy handed Galvao. He quickly used his superior technique and speed to create openings, finding his mark frequently, while Galvao struggled to find a rhythm.
Galvao started to get some offense going in round two, landing some solid leg kicks, but remained stiff. Dantas was much smoother, using his reach advantage and speed, working front kicks to the body and even landing a spinning back kick, mixing in flurries of punches, keeping Galvao searching for answers.
Galvao's answer never came, however, as a short time after landing the spinning back kick to the body, Dantas dropped his mentor with a short right uppercut and finished him off with a couple of hammerfists for the finish at 3:01 of round two.
Dantas was extremely emotional following his victory, sitting down in his corner with tears streaming down his face. Happy at defending his belt, he clearly took no joy in having just defeated a man that has meant so much to him.
"I am sad and happy. Sad because I had to fight my friend," Dantas said after the fight, tears still welling in his eyes. "Happy because I am still the champion of Bellator."
Galvao also had a difficult time with the fight. He reportedly would have nothing to do with Dantas leading up to the fight, and even as Dantas reached out to his mentor after the fight, Galvao didn't yet appear ready to put the fight behind them, deflecting Dantas' attempt at an embrace.
Dan Cramer vs. Brian Rogers
Brian Rogers began his third attempt at a Bellator middleweight tournament on Thursday night, but it the third time wasn't a charm for him. Unlike his two previous attempts, Rogers failed to get out of the Season 8 quarterfinals, dropping a unanimous decision to Dan Cramer.
Cramer looked as if he might run away with the fight in the opening round, constantly taking Rogers down and peppering him with ground and pound.
Rogers came back strong to open the second stanza, suplexing Cramer a couple of times, and controlling a decent portion of the five minutes. He also ended the round on a good note, landing a couple big right hands that got Cramer's attention.
The tide shifted once again in round three, however, when Cramer went back to his bread and butter, taking control with his grappling. Rogers, visibly tired, flashed a moment of hope, again landing the right hand in the stand-up, but Cramer clinched and landed a knee to the chin, again taking Rogers to the mat. He smothered Rogers, passing to side control and continuing his ground and pound attack, but Rogers still wouldn't give in.
Making his way back to his feet, Rogers cracked Cramer again, calling on reserves from deep down inside, but again, Cramer went to his instincts and continued to take Rogers to the mat and control the fight with positioning and ground and pound to earn the decision.
Brett Cooper vs. Norman Paraisy
Brett Cooper followed the Ben Askren playbook in his fight with Norman Paraisy, taking Paraisy down and will, grounding and pounding him throughout the duration of their three-round bout.
Cooper landed a notable slam midway through round one that left Paraisy wobbly and set the tone for the rest of the fight.
He looked like he might finish Paraisy at the beginning of round two, when he dropped him with an uppercut. Cooper swarmed Paraisy, trying to finish him with a flurry of ground and pound, but Paraisy dug deep to survive.
Cooper continued planting Paraisy on the mat for the duration of the fight, giving him no quarter, but couldn't find the finish.
In the end, Cooper walked away with a unanimous decision victory, moving on to the semifinal round of the middleweight tournament.
Doug Marshall vs. Andreas Spang
Former WEC light heavyweight champion Doug "Rhino" Marshall made quick work of Bellator middleweight standout Andreas Spang, knocking him out in the first round of their main card opener.
Marshall clipped Spang a couple times with the right hand in the early goings of their fight, but the finisher was crystal clear.
Marshall stepped in with a right hook that landed flush on the jaw, dropping Spang to the canvas. Marshall immediately turned and walked away.
Spang woke up almost as quickly as he hit the mat, but the referee had already stepped in, waving off the bout as a one-punch knockout at the 3:03 mark.
"It was a great punch; Andreas is an excellent striker," said Marshall after the fight, before adding, "The bottom line is: you mess with the Rhino, you get the horn."
Following Thursday night's fights, the middleweight semifinal pairings are set with Dan Cramer vs. Brett Cooper and Doug Marshall vs. Sultan Aliev.

What are the effects that media is having on our values and beliefs about women and young girls?
Laura Sherwood

There is a need for media literacy to be implemented in our committees and schools, today's youth get more and more information from the media, which consist of basis exploitation of women and young girls. Women and girls are constantly seen in the media as sex objects, thereby promoting this ideology of women's worth being based on her body rather than her brains. We need to take a stand against the media, rather then just becoming desensitized to the images that are flooding us all.

A New Round in Online-Privacy Fight
Silicon Valley is fighting privacy advocates over a California bill that would require companies like Facebook and Google to disclose to users the personal data they have collected and with whom they have shared it, Geoffrey Fowler reports. Photo: Getty Images.

British detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have returned to Portugal to help interview suspects, it has been reported.
Detectives in the Algarve are today expected to begin interviewing a number of key suspects in relation to the three-year-old, who vanished in Praia da Luz in 2007.
It has been suggested that UK officers could sit in on interviews carried out by Portuguese police with up to eight people who will become "arguidos", or people of interest, when they attend a police station voluntarily this week.
All are reportedly Portuguese nationals, although some being questioned are Russian-born, and have been identified by British police as being suspects.
It is thought they include three workers from the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz who have been linked to a string of burglaries in the area before Madeleine's disappearance.
Neither the Metropolitan Police nor officers in Portugal would make any official comment on the reports.
Last month British officers, accompanied by their Portuguese counterparts, carried out searches of three areas of land near to where the young girl went missing.
She had been in a holiday apartment as her parents Gerry and Kate, from Rothley in Leicestershire, dined with friends nearby.
On finishing the latest search police said it had been the ''first phase of this major investigation which has been agreed with the Portuguese''.
A statement from Scotland Yard during the searches said there was "still a substantial amount of work yet to be completed in the coming weeks and months''.
''This recent work is part of ensuring that all lines of inquiry are progressed in a systematic manner and covers just the one hypothesis that she was killed and buried locally,'' the statement said.
''This is the same as would be done in the UK for a murder or high-risk missing person inquiry.''

Sam C. Pointer, Jr., former federal judge, died on March 15, 2008, at age 73. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vanderbilt University, Judge Pointer graduated first in his class from the University of Alabama Law School and received an LLM from New York University in 1958.
Judge Pointer was appointed U.S. District Judge in 1970 (at that time the youngest federal judge in the country) and served in that capacity until his retirement from the bench in 2000. For seventeen years he was Chief Judge of the Northern District of Alabama and during his time as federal judge, he presided over the most complex cases in the court system, including the Cast Iron Pipe Antitrust Litigation, the Plywood Antitrust Litigation and the Silicon Gel Breast Implant Litigation (the latter involving 26,000 cases). He chaired the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and was the principal author of the Manual for Complex Litigation.
It was in the area of civil rights that Judge Pointer made his greatest contribution. In the turbulent seventies, his courageous decisions on school desegregation, employment discrimination and prison conditions recognized the rights and dignity of all our citizens, but caused him to be ostracized to the point of requiring around the clock U.S. Marshal protection for himself and his family. "Sam Pointer stood in the eye of the civil rights storm for more than a decade and never wavered from the oath he took as a judge," said Warren Lightfoot. "When the roll is called for the heroes of the twentieth century, for the giants who moved this country forward, Sam Pointer's name will be at the top of the list." Because of his contributions to this nation, he received numerous awards, including the prestigious Gates Award from the American College of Trial Lawyers.
When Judge Pointer left the bench in 2000 and made known his intention to return to active practice, he rejected all out-of-state offers and narrowed his decision to the twelve top firms in Birmingham, each of which enthusiastically tried to employ him. We were profoundly honored when he chose our firm, and having the benefit of his wise and generous counsel for eight years was of inestimable value to our clients and lawyers. He was a great friend and mentor and will be missed.

ST. GEORGE The man at the center of the raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church's Texas compound has been questioned by Texas Rangers, but he was not taken into custody by them.
Clad in their trademark cowboy hats and silver star badges, the law enforcement officers traveled to Utah on Saturday to meet with Dale Barlow, who is trying to persuade them they have the wrong man.
"Right now, we're just here to talk to him," Texas Ranger Don Williams said as he walked into the Mohave County probation office in St. George.
About a half-hour later, Barlow left a free man for now, at least.
"We made it clear to the law enforcement officials that Dale Barlow has not been to Eldorado (in Texas), he has not been to that compound, he had nothing to do with the accusations," Barlow's attorney, Bruce Griffen, told the Deseret News afterward. "They made a mistake."
The Texas Rangers left, declining to say if Barlow remains a suspect or would be arrested.
"We can't talk about that," Williams said, getting into a truck.
An arrest warrant is still out for Barlow, accusing him of marrying a 16-year-old girl whose phone call to a domestic-violence hotline triggered last week's raid on the YFZ Ranch and resulted in 416 children being taken into protective custody.
A search warrant filed in a San Angelo, Texas, court said the girl made a pair of phone calls on March 29 and 30. Whispering into the phone, she said she was 16, had an 8-month-old baby, was pregnant again and wanted to leave the guarded compound.
The girl said her husband was Dale Barlow and said he would "beat and hurt" her whenever he got angry. Attorneys for the FLDS Church have said in court papers that Barlow was not at the ranch, and also said that the girl's phone call was not corroborated, suggesting that it did not justify the massive search of the YFZ Ranch.
An attorney for FLDS leader Warren Jeffs questioned if the girl exists at all.
"I smelled a rat from the beginning," attorney Michael Piccarreta told the Arizona Republic. "I think the Texas authorities need to make a careful analysis of whether they have been part of a ruse."
Jeffs, 52, is facing criminal charges in Arizona, accusing him of performing child-bride marriages. He was convicted last year in Utah of rape as an accomplice, stemming from a marriage he performed between a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin.
Barlow, 50, pleaded no contest in Arizona last year to a charge of conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor. The Colorado City, Ariz., man was accused of fathering a child with a 16-year-old girl. He spent 45 days in the Mohave County Jail and will spend three years on probation. Barlow is also a registered sex offender.
His probation officer said Barlow has regularly checked in.
Barlow's situation is being watched closely by those in the FLDS strongholds of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz. As the meeting was under way, an SUV with tinted windows sat parked across the street the men inside watching the law enforcement officers. When a Deseret News reporter approached the vehicle, it drove away.
Such vehicles commonly follow outsiders as they travel around the fundamentalist border towns.
Barlow wouldn't say anything as he left the meeting but told the Deseret News in an earlier interview that he had never been to the Texas ranch.
"I do not know this girl that they keep asking about," he said.
Griffen said Texas Rangers plan to attempt to corroborate Barlow's claim that they have the wrong man as their suspect."I think these gentlemen are here in good faith. I think they're willing to take a look at the possibility that a mistake has been made and they're not putting the cart before the horse," he said Saturday. "I think they've got a lot of collateral information that's indicated that Mr. Barlow is not an individual that they should have any interest in."
