Contributory Liability for Trademark Counterfeiting in an Ecommerce World
By Scott Gelin And G Roxanne Elings in Ledger Vol. 1 – No. 2 (Spring 2010) Tags: Trademark
Scott Gelin and G Roxanne Elings analyze the current standard of contributory liability in the wake of Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay, in which the Second Circuit affirmed the Southern District's finding that eBay is not liable to trademark owners for counterfeit sales of their products by third parties on its site. After highlighting certain ambiguities in the current state of the law, the authors propose practical tips to help brand owners protect against counterfeit sales, and to help service providers and selling platforms avoid secondary liability.
Using Clean Hands to Justify Unclean Hands: How the Emergency Exception Provision of the SCA Misapplies an Already Controversial Doctrine
By Brendan J. Coffman in Ledger Vol. 1 – No. 2 (Spring 2010) Tags: Internet
While the government's encouragement—and even reliance—on third-party monitoring of citizens is not a new phenomenon, the emergency exception to the SCA adopted in the Patriot Act oversteps constitutional bounds by providing the executive with the incentive to exaggerate potential threats in order to gain the collaboration of the telecommunications companies. The policies underlying this strategy are similar to those explained and adapted by the Sixth Circuit while articulating its Clean Hands Exception.Brendan Coffman argues that by allowing the government to gain access to evidence it normally would not be able to obtain, and ignoring the normal parameters of the exclusionary rule, the Sixth Circuit created a regime encouraging complicity between law enforcement and private citizens. Similarly, the arguments running contrary to the Clean Hands Exception ring true when assessing the emergency exception: the government has too great an incentive to encourage third parties to violate the privacy rights of others, and the third parties, especially telecommunications companies, are ultimately trapped in a Hobson's Choice.
Software Developers, On Guard!: Offering Software for Sale Can Trigger a Bar to Patentability Even If the Software Is Untested and Incomplete
By Paul A. Ragusa and Jack Chen in Ledger Vol. 1 – No. 2 (Spring 2010) Tags: Patent, Software
Paul A. Ragusa and Jack Chen discuss the on-sale bar to patentability in the context of nascent software. They conclude that a simple investigation concerning whether software code was complete at the time of an offer for sale is insufficient to establish the critical date for the purposes under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) ("Conditions for patentability").

Genoa have rejected suggestions that they are planning to sign Federico Marchetti from Cagliari in January.
Reports earlier this week claimed that Italy's 2010 World Cup 'keeper would kick-start his career with a switch to Marassi after Christmas.
The Sardinian club even insisted that they were ready to offload him to the Grifone, but the latter don't seem impressed.
"We are talking about a player who we have never chased or even been interested in," said President Enrico Preziosi.
"Having got rid of Marco Amelia [to Milan] too, it is clear that we are not looking for any more goalkeepers.
"We are happy to have Eduardo with us. We'll calmly wait for him to settle and he'll demonstrate that he is a good goalkeeper."
Portugal No 1 Eduardo had been linked with Fulham after struggling to settle since his summer move.
Marchetti, meanwhile, hasn't featured for Cagliari all season after being frozen out of the squad for requesting a transfer.
He's also in the process of trying to get his contract rescinded which could soon make him a free agent.

Jelliffe History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Norman Conquest of England occurred. Soon after this event, the name would have been given to a happy and lively person. The surname of Jolliffe was originally derived from the Old French word joli, of the same meaning. A broad and miscellaneous class of surnames, nickname surnames referred to a characteristic of the first person who used the name. They can describe the bearer's favored style of clothing, appearance, habits, or character.
Early Origins of the Jelliffe family
Staffordshire where they were an ancient family granted lands by William the Conqueror, and "allied to some of the chief nobles of the Kingdom." A northern branch enjoyed power and affluence in Europe before the Norman Conquest, and were originally known as Jolli. This spelling changed with the years to Jollye, to Jolliff, and finally to Jolliffe.
Early History of the Jelliffe family
Another 269 words (19 lines of text) covering the years 1824, 1613, 1680, 1660, 1679, 1660, 1750, 1734, 1741, 1697 and 1771 are included under the topic Early Jelliffe History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Jelliffe Spelling Variations
spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Jelliffe has been recorded under many different variations, including Jolliffe, Jolli, Jolliff and others.

Migration of the Jelliffe family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Jelliffes were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America:

The Jelliffe Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Tant que je puis
Motto Translation: As much as I can.

USING MULTIPLE AND DIVERSE SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY MEDIA CAM... THE INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE AND BIG DATA SOURCES FOR EVALUA... REFERENCES The assessment of the Get Yourself Tested (GYT) campaign presented by Friedman et al.,1 in this issue of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, is important both for identifying the opportunities to use and integrate 21st century social media and mobile health (mHealth) tools into sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention initiatives and for identifying the key areas where our field can improve to maximize the use of these tools. The GYT campaign offers an important perspective on 3 elements of health communication campaigns in the digital era including: (a) the use of multiple and diverse social media tools, (b) the role of social science theory, and (c) the integration of multiple and big data sources for evaluation. I will discuss each of these in turn. Back to Top | Article Outline USING MULTIPLE AND DIVERSE SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS Get Yourself Tested is a multidimensional campaign with traditional face-to-face events and activities augmented by online social media activities. The authors bring attention to the now critical need to harness social media and mHealth tools in health promotion campaigns. Get Yourself Tested uses highly popular social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and text messaging to promote STD testing. In addition to social media, they promote a telephone-based application (app) that allows users to input their zipcode and receive a text message in return identifying testing sites nearby (the STD Testing Locator) in an effort to increase access to and utilization of STD testing services. Friedman et al. describe where they posted messages and, to some extent, what they did (e.g., a challenge on Facebook to make pledges to test for STD within the month). The primary goal described for GYT was to use social and mobile media tools to drive people to the GYTNOW Web site. Although this is certainly reasonable, it raises questions about whether GYT is really maximizing social media. Does GYT miss important opportunities to carefully tailor messages about STD Testing to match the expected type of message on each social media site? This is of course an empirical question, but one wonders what the campaign impact might be if messages on the experience of STD testing are tailored to site specializations. So, messages on Twitter might include celebrities tweeting "get tested!" or even "I tested" (evocative of the compelling and impactful disclosure of Magic Johnson after testing for HIV 20 years ago); on Facebook, they could have friends in networks endorse or "like" a test site; and on You Tube, they could show videos describing the process of testing and others addressing anxiety about testing, and so on. Back to Top | Article Outline THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY MEDIA CAMPAIGNS Although the authors demonstrate that GYT both reaches youth and campaign activities are associated with periods of increased STD testing, what we lack is an understanding of how much campaign exposure generates testing, which channels are effective, and how the decision to test is made manifest. Starting with the consideration of how the decision to test is made manifest allows us to critically contemplate the role of social and behavioral science theory in 21st century health promotion campaigns. The GYT campaign was informed by formative research and constructs from the Health Belief Model2 and the Theory of Planned Behavior.3 The authors specifically mention the constructs of STD awareness, perceived risk, and reduction of stigma and fear. They mention, additionally, a goal that campaign messages would promote open communication with sex partners and providers, presumably about condom use and STD testing, although this is not explicit. The authors do not offer a theoretical framework identifying how their constructs map to specific messages or message channels and what the anticipated relationship is between exposure to messages, decline in stigma, and decision to test, for example. Although theoretical constructs from Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behavior are certainly widely demonstrated as having high impact on individual level behavior change,4–6 I submit that they are necessary but insufficient to inform the development of, encourage engagement in, and facilitate behavior change—in this case STD testing– in a modern campaign. The authors themselves cite the 10-year retrospective work of Noar,7 which demonstrates clear links between consumer exposure to health promotion campaigns and behavior change. A review of these campaigns shows that they not only rely on addressing constructs such as self-efficacy, intentions, behavioral control, perceived benefits, and barriers from performing a behavior but also emphasize the importance of crafting messages themselves using theory. For example, attention to whether messages are gain or loss framed, or whether they are central or peripheral to individual values are 2 strategies with demonstrated efficacy for gaining and sustaining attention of those exposed.8,9 Second, ubiquitous and continual access to the Internet via computers and mobile devices has come a deluge of information. It has become critical to identify strategies that can distinguish health campaigns so that people will not ignore them or fail to read or comprehend them if they do engage. Thus, initial and ongoing engagement with any campaign material is of high importance. The GYT team recognizes the importance of engagement in documenting evidence of the same, but what they do not attend to is a deliberate message design to capture and sustain attention while attempting to influence self-efficacy, intentions, and so on. This represents what might be a typical lack of integration between the health communication and health behavior change fields, but also presents a new problem of how to make our messages stand out so that they will be read and acted upon when people may be continually overwhelmed with information and data. Jonah Berger, an Associate Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, wrote Contagious: Why Things Catch On, in 2013, a study of why products ideas and behaviors "catch on" via social media and go viral.10 His book offers an intriguing consideration of theoretical constructs not only about what grabs the attention of an individual in the social media space but also what motivates them to share information, links, ideas, and so on, with others in their social network. Some of what Contagious suggests will motivate engagement, and sharing is not new. Berger suggests that messages will be more engaging if they trigger an important emotion such as anger or sadness, that it must be rational or logical, or that it should engender feelings of love in order for people to take notice. This is evocative of Plato's tripartite theory of soul, suggesting that humans are motivated by strong emotions (spirit), to seek truth and learn (logic), and experience passion (appetite).11 Thus, some of these central ideas for creating messages that are provocative, are logical, or can evoke passion harkens to ancient philosophy. Berger emphasizes message design that will motivate sharing, a potentially indispensable element in the social media space. Two ideas he suggests are that if senders will look good (e.g., smart or current) by passing something along, or if they know an individual well enough to know what that person likes, they will be more likely to post it to their networks online. We know from other important research that social networks—and more specifically sexual networks—can facilitate transmission of STD and that there are core transmitters within sexual networks who bear substantial responsibility for disease transmission.12–15 What we have not yet identified but may be able to now within the social media and social networking space is whether and how ideas about prevention can be spread within social networks. Theoretical models that integrate existing health communication and health behavior change theory with emergent theory on engagement in the social media space and theory on maximizing message sharing within social networks can offer much more sophisticated models of how to effectively use social and mobile media to influence behavior. Back to Top | Article Outline THE INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE AND BIG DATA SOURCES FOR EVALUATION Although methods to analyze GYT did not allow analysis of the relationship between exposure to the campaign and subsequent testing, the authors were able to access multiple data sources to evaluate testing during the campaign period and used commonly available analytic metrics to document engagement with their campaign media. By the second year of the campaign, there were close to 5000 Facebook and 2000 Twitter followers, respectively, and tens of thousands of referrals for testing from the STD Testing locator. The authors' use of analytics offers a good example of the opportunities we have to quickly make assessments about campaign efficacy. The team fully acknowledges the limitations of their assessment and inability to draw conclusions about exposure to GYT and individual level testing behaviors. Although this is indeed a limitation, it is illustrative of an ongoing tension at the intersection of health behavior research and advances in social media technologies. Although there remains a need to rigorously evaluate our health promotion campaigns and interventions, doing so within the current systems and with traditional methodologies may well result in publication of efficacy data for campaigns that are obsolete, because they take so long to complete a rigorous trial, and new technologies emerge faster than our capacity to evaluate them. This concern has been considered by Riley et al.,16 who point out that someone conducting a typical 5-year randomized clinical trial on a technology innovation starting in 2006 would miss the advent of the Wii, iPhone, Android system, and iPad. Riley and colleagues call for approaches that are used by those evaluating GYT, including the secondary analysis of existing data such as the analytics available on Google, and developing partnerships with agencies to review their data (e.g., data from nine Planned Parenthood affiliates reviewed in GYT). As the "big data" movement continues to evolve, we will also be presented with new and unique opportunities to consider how data from social networks can be analyzed to facilitate understanding of behavior. For example, data mining currently allows us to understand whether there is a relationship between what people post to social media and individual and sexual risk behaviors.17,18 It is imperative then that we look to methods beyond randomized clinical trials for both economical and effective ways to quickly make appropriate assessments on the efficacy of our intervention efforts. The GYT campaign exemplifies the promise for the future of 21st century health communication and health promotion. Theirs is an admirable effort to use a wide array of tools to facilitate awareness of and access to STD testing services, to consider approaches to integrate well tested theory into new campaign modalities, and to access and use big data to assess campaign efficacy. What GYT illustrates are new opportunities to use social media. We have the opportunity to align campaign activities more discretely with what consumers expect on differing social media channels—for example, we can make sure to use You Tube for demonstrations and Twitter for up to the moment status updates rather than sending the same message across different channels in monolithic fashion. We must begin to consider new ways to integrate multiple theoretical perspectives to effectively make our messages and intervention content engaging, and to make sure it can be effectively disseminated through social networks. Finally, we can embrace emergent analytic tools to more quickly and cost-effectively assess important outcomes that can point to campaign and program efficacy.Back to Top | Article Outline REFERENCES1.

Superhead strikes again. Knowing Mr. Carter was in a relationship with, who was rumored to be his fiancée at the time, Dhea, Steffans posted an entire soliloquy about their recent intimate sessions and how he inspired a chapter in her upcoming tell-all book. Some considered it to be inadvertent, but let's keep it 100: this is the same woman who built a empire off of blasting every major act in the biz.

In which area do you think the government reforms of Wilson's New Freedom had the greatest impact? Why?
- print Print
- list Cite
I would argue that the most important and impactful area of Wilson's "New Freedom" reforms was the area of banking reform, and most specifically the creation of the Federal Reserve System.
It is possible to argue that regulation of business was much more important, particularly in the short run. During Wilson's administration, there were a number of important regulations placed on business. For example, there was the imposition of the 8-hour day for some workers. There was the creation of workers' compensation. There was the passage of the Clayton Act which gave labor unions exemptions from antitrust laws even as it strengthened those laws against businesses. This gave more power to unions. All of these were important in helping workers.
In the long run, however, the creation of the Federal Reserve has been much more important than those changes were. Unions today are much weaker than they once were. There is much less need for regulation of workplaces because a lower proportion of Americans work in dangerous jobs. But the Federal Reserve is a backbone of our economy. As our central bank, it helps to keep our entire economy running. This makes it the most important aspect of Wilson's reforms.

You are here
Utah is home to some of the most beautiful mountain valleys and desert expanses in the world. Yet the same breathtaking landscapes have a direct effect on the quality of air in Utah.
Genesis of an inversion
When valley floors hold lots of snow, temperatures plummet, and a high pressure system parks overhead, leaving cold air on the ground with nowhere to go. It can't rise because cold air doesn't rise, it sinks. Just above it, the sun rapidly heats up the air, creating a warm blanket that pins the cold air below it to the valley floor. This is an inversion. And as long as there is lots of cold air and snow on the ground, and lots of sunlight above, the inversion will remain. [11]
The animated gif to the right illustrates the trapping effect that the layer of warm air has over the valley.
"Think of an airshed as the available air that you have to live in. We're stuck with that 1500 or 2000 foot layer of air. That's all we have. We can't go get more air to pollute. We have to live within our means inside that airshed. Not only do inversions trap and concentrate fine particulates at dangerous levels, they create them as well. When conditions are right, these inversions play host to a newly-discovered chemical reaction where certain chemical compounds in the air are joined to become fine particles or PM2.5. In other words, an inversion can actually create its own pollution." [12]
The animated gif to the right illustrates the notion of an 'Airshed'. The available air collects in the valleys while at higher elevations the atmosphere is continually cleared out.
Winter versus Summer
During winter inversions, much of the pollution is visible. In the summer, we experience high levels of pollution as well, but it is not as visible. During the hot, sunny, still days of summer Utah is prone to the creation of ozone statewide.
We are still trying to understand why this is. According to Utah State University Environmental Engineering Professor Randy Martin, "[Oil and gas] exploration and production puts a lot of precursor species (PM 2.5) in the atmosphere." Ozone is created when fossil fuels are burned, releasing nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. When these fine particles are exposed to sunlight they go through a series of chemical reactions to create ozone. "Some of the ozone concentrations we see [in the Uintah Basin] are higher than you'll see in Los Angeles in the summertime." [12] [13]
While the highest layer of our atmosphere contains ozone that protects us from the sun's harsh rays, when the ozone is concentrated in our airshed it can lead to premature death, asthma, bronchitis, heart attack, and other cardiopulmonary problems. [14]

Customer Service (M-F 8a-5:30p): 425-783-1000
AVAILABILITYThis schedule is available in all territory served by the PUD for all non-residential customers.
This schedule is one of two optional rate schedules(1) that provide customers with the voluntary option to purchase Qualified Alternative Energy Resources, as required by R.C.W. Chapter 19.29A. A Qualified Alternative Energy Resource includes any energy production facility powered by renewable technology such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, landfill gas, gas produced from wastewater treatment, wave action, low-impact hydro, or other renewable technologies generally accepted by the Northwest environmental community and meeting the definition of "Qualified Alternative Energy Resource" in R.C.W. § 19.29A.090(3).
Service under this schedule is provided through Renewable Energy Credits obtained by the PUD either through its own supply of Renewable Energy Credits or through a clearinghouse or other system which secures the verifiable evidence that a third party has produced electricity from a Qualified Alternative Energy Resource and that such third party agrees to transfer credit from such production exclusively to the PUD.
The purchasing customer shall have the right to claim the associated Renewable Energy Credits to the extent allowed under applicable law. A purchasing customer may not resell or otherwise transfer the Renewable Energy Credits to any other party for any purpose.
ENROLLMENTAny non-residential customer may purchase Green Blocks from the PUD in one of the ways described in the PUD's current customer service information. Charges for Green Blocks will be included as a separate charge on the customer's bill and shall start immediately upon the customer's request to purchase them.
The PUD will transfer a Customer's recurring Green Blocks enrollment when a customer moves within the territory served by the PUD; however, a Customer may discontinue service under this schedule at any time.
RATEOne Green Block consists of the environmental credits associated with 1000 kWh of electrical energy generated by Qualified Alternative Energy Resource. An unlimited number of Green Blocks can be purchased at a cost of $3.00 per month each. For the first billing cycle that the customer is on the program, the charges will be prorated to reflect the amount of time the customer received service under this schedule. Subsequently, the monthly charge will be the same every month and will continue until the customer cancels participation in the program, requests a change in the number of Green Blocks requested, or leaves the PUD. If any of these circumstances should occur, charges will be prorated to reflect the amount of time the customer received service under this schedule.
Alternatively, any non-residential customer may make a one-time purchase of Green Blocks. Under this option, a minimum of 5 Green Blocks must be purchased but above that, purchase of partial Green Blocks is allowed; the one-time charge will occur on one bill.
GENERAL PROVISIONSBase rates and other terms of electric service shall be governed by the Rate Schedule under which the customer takes ordinary services. This Rate Schedule does not provide electric service or electric power. Charges specified under this Rate Schedule are in addition to the charges specified in the Rate Schedule under which the customer takes its basic electricity service.
The Billing provisions of the PUD's Customer Service Regulations apply with the following modifications.
A. If the customer remits a partial payment, that payment shall first be applied to all other charges due the PUD with any residual payment amount applied to charges for Green Blocks.
B. If a customer does not pay for their Green Blocks charges, the PUD shall immediately discontinue selling Green Blocks to that customer.
[1] Schedule 81 is the other optional rate schedule that provides the customer with the voluntary option to purchase Qualified Alternative Energy Resources.
Effective Date: July 1, 2013

It may be preferableto leave them that way to push readers towards that sort of analysis,whatever Neil thinks is best on that.-- Doug Ledford <email@example.com> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194 http://people.redhat.com/dledfordInfiniband specific RPMs available at http://people.redhat.com/dledford/Infiniband[unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature]

Baited Shark Dive
Umkomaas, South Africa
Baited Shark Dive Umkomaas Reviews
7 reviews
Diving with Tiger Sharks Jun 30, 2012
Aliwal Shoal is famous for its presence of several big shark species and in particular the Ragged Tooth Shark. Therefore it's ranked by a lot of divers among the top ten dive sites in the world. But as with all the 2000 'Top Ten Dive Sites' it's all about personal taste and preference. If you like adventurous dives with big fish, this is a top ten dive site.
The Shoal is a rocky reef which is the remains of an old sand dune, now 5 km off the coast.
Divecharters are organised from Umkomaas, which is the closest town to the Shoal. They take you there fully geared up with a RIB from the beach. Once on the Shoal a bait is lowered in the water on a buoy. Then you wait for an hour for the sharks to appear. Or, as we did; you go and make a dive somewhere else on the reef.
When we returned you could see several sharks circling the boat, cutting the surface with their fins. After an encouraging briefing including tips such as; 'stay with the group, don't get singled out' and 'keep your hands close to your body, if you want to keep them', we went in with a backroll. As I looked around underwater I counted at least 25 Blacktip Sharks, but no Tiger Shark. The sharks focused on the bait that was hanging in a metal container at a depth of 8 meters, circling it, biting it. Hanging in the open only 8 meters away, the sharks reguarly checked us out, swimming directly at us just to suddenly turn away only an armslength away. We stayed down for 50 minutes, among the sharks. Unfortunately no Tiger Shark appeared, but we didn't mind, the Blacktips made it worthwhile anyway and it's a good reason to come back and try again someday.
Although most people will think otherwise, diving with sharks is actually not so dangerous. There have been no recorded accidents related to baited shark dives in South Africa.

Amazing Experience Mar 04, 2011
It cost Rand1250 for about an hour dive. Bait used were rotten fish left out in the sun for a few days and there would be definitely be plenty of maggots and it stinks so bad.
There is 2 drum of bait. The top tin drum is for the oceanic black tip shark and the plastic drum is for the tiger sharks and bull sharks. The plastic drum is about 2/3 of a meter in size. As tiger sharks are territory, any oceanic black tip shark that comes near their plastic drum will be chase by the tiger sharks.
You will be in about 9 meter deep into the ocean and a bar might be used so divers can use it to control their buoyancy. Always stare the sharks swimming towards you straight into their eyes and do shout at them if they come too close to you. In the event that they do swimming to close to you, use your hands to lightly guide them away from you.
On the day of my dive, there was about 40 oceanic black tip sharks, 6 tiger sharks and one bull shark.

I've never been to Niagra Falls either, but it's definately on my list of places to visit!! We have some really helpful Ontario members on this forum (including Edyta, who already posted) - I'm sure they'd be more than willing to help if you have questions.

I love Niagara Falls it is so larger then life and beautiful. You might want to check out Niagara on the lake, it is sooo pretty, Everton and I try and get there a couple of times a year, it would be a great honeymoon spot. Another great after the wedding, or before the wedding outing might be to visit the vinyards, and have a great wine tour.
What type of wedding are you planning? How many guests are you having? Niagara Falls is one of the few places that we are allowed to gamble in Canada, so let your guests know there is a great casino there. The touristy things are of course crazy expensive, so keep that in mind also.
Oh yeah you picked the absolute perfect time of year for a wedding in Ontario!

It is very generous of Network Rail and West Sussex County Council to club together to give our youngsters an elaborate, £2m skateboard ramp; complete with skills-testing twists, turns and landings. It should challenge the Avenue de Chartres car park as an early-evening venue.
However, on the site that they are suggesting, over the Fishbourne railway crossing, it would cut right across what is perhaps the most useful cycle route in and out of the city.
Should the necessary route closure go ahead, I'm afraid that the Fishbourne Palace café, Barreg Cycles, the Crown and Anchor at Dell Quay, and Mariners of Bosham will see rather less of my family's money. Tesco will either lose all my custom or else will see me adding to the congestion on the roads, as I arrive by car instead of doing my shopping by bike and trailer.
And cycling my son to football with the excellent Fishbourne Romans on a Saturday morning would not be such an attractive prospect either.
Perhaps I'm a delicate sort, alone in finding this giant skateboarding facility masquerading as a bridge quite so off-putting. Off-putting, that is, both psychologically as it cages you in, and because of the detour off-route and the decided step-up in physical effort that it demands of both cyclists and pedestrians.
There again, perhaps I'm not alone and we need to take seriously the unintended consequences of many like me being put off this route: the increased car use and the quiet throttling of social and economic links.
This is not to downplay the valid railway safety concerns presented by the present level crossing, but if CDC grants planning permission for this specific design of bridge-cum-skate ramp, it will be because it is judged to be "good enough" for the rest of us by councillors who don't have to use it as a regular route.
In reality the bridge design falls short of even 'good enough'. In the words of one Fishbourne councillor recently, it is a 'monster bridge'.
It is actually rather ingenious, but it is still unnecessarily large (except where it matters, i.e. the width of the walkway) and unnecessarily challenging for cyclists and pedestrians alike. And, bizarrely, it requires a lengthy detour off route up a narrow stretch of Centurion Way just to get onto it.
Try going 'against the stream' there as the whole of Bishop Luffa comes towards you the other way at school leaving time!
Before Network Rail and WSCC casually spend one million pounds each on this "solution", I'd say that the designers could and should go back to the drawing board and do better than that.

I think Kris, more than any other, gets who he is, who his audience is, is better at choosing songs to reflect that. Loved him last night & I still say he is the most marketable one of the season.

I think Kris, more than any other, gets who he is, who his audience is, is better at choosing songs to reflect that. Loved him last night & I still say he is the most marketable one of the season.
I really liked Kris last night. Some technical problems right at the beginning (too low) and at the end (flat on the falsetto) but everything in between was wonderful.Quote:

- People will vote for Anoop because he hit a personal best tonight
- People will vote for Adam because he's Adam
- People will vote for Danny because it was an emotional song.
- People will vote for Allison because she was first and the don't want to see her leave. (I've seen several posts here from people who liked Kris but voted for Allison because they perceived her to be more "in danger".)
- Although I don't know why, somebody's been voting for Lil and will continue to even though she screwed up The Rose.
That leaves Kris dangling in a situation very similar to Michael Johns last year. (Michael's song fell flat, David Cook had an off week, Archie did well and Jason scored a personal best. Voters rushed to save David Cook. Michael fell through the cracks.)
MTV has a good article:
Kris Allen's 'Falling Slowly': The Story Behind The Cover
NICE - thanks for sharing thatQuote:

Judges on AI often talk of being "Current".
And they talk of picking quality songs.
When the Idol Theme is "Movies", how can you satisfy these two criteria any more than by going with the reigning Oscar winning song from a movie?
Kudos to Kris. "Endless Love" - give me a break. Bleachhh!
I had never heard that song and have never heard of the movie but I thought it was beautiful. I was totally mesmerized by it :biglove
Great point - would have liked to have heard Simon's critique of the performance. Is it just me, or does anyone else perceive preferential treatment/recognition for the "pets" - Adam, Danny, Allison, and Lil. The producers seem to want to make Kris invisible almost.Quote:

It was nice to hear Simon pipe up last night.Quote:

Kris seems to have a great library of musical knowledge to pick from. He picked an obscure song from an obscure movie & did great things with it. He also knew all the lyrics the night Stevie Wonder performed & was able to sing along with every song. I think this is allowing him to find songs better suited to his abilities & tastes than the other contestants are able to do. Old or new, popular or obscure, rock, soul, blues, Kris just seems to have an answer no matter what the theme.

This article is for administrators. Are you trying to find items in your mailbox that you want to delete? See Find a message or item with Instant Search
You can use the Content Search feature in Office 365 to search for and delete an email message from all mailboxes in your organization. This can help you find and remove potentially harmful or high-risk email, such as:
Messages that contain dangerous attachment or virus
Phishing messages
Messages that contain sensitive data
Here's the workflow for the "search and purge" process:
Step 1: Create a Content Search to find the message to delete
Step 2: Connect to the Security & Compliance Center using remote PowerShell
See the More information section for description of what happens to deleted messages and how to get the status of a search and delete operation.
Caution: Search and purge is a powerful feature that allows anyone that is assigned the necessary permissions to delete email messages from mailboxes in your organization.
Before you begin
To create and run a Content Search, you have to be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group or be assigned the Compliance Search management role. To delete messages, you have to be a member of the Organization Management role group or be assigned the Search And Purge management role. For information about adding users to a role group, see Give users access to the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center.
You have to use Security & Compliance Center PowerShell to delete messages. See Step 2 for instructions about how to connect.
A maximum of 10 items per mailbox can be removed at one time. Because the capability to search for and remove messages is intended to be an incident-response tool, this limit helps ensure that messages are quickly removed from mailboxes. This feature isn't intended to clean up user mailboxes.
The maximum number of mailboxes in a Content Search that you can delete items in by doing a search and purge action is 50,000. If the Content Search (that you create in Step 1) has more than 50,000 source mailboxes, the purge action (that you create in Step 3) will fail. See the More information section for a tip on performing a search and purge operation on more than 50,000 mailboxes.
The procedure in this article can only be used to delete items in Exchange Online mailboxes and public folders. You can't use it to delete content from SharePoint or OneDrive for Business sites.
Step 1: Create a Content Search to find the message to delete
The first step is to create and run a Content Search to find the message that you want to remove from mailboxes in your organization. You can create the search by using the Security & Compliance Center or by running the New-ComplianceSearch and Start-ComplianceSearch cmdlets. The messages that match the query for this search will be deleted by running the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet in Step 3. For information about creating a Content Search and configuring search queries, see the following topics:
Run a Content Search in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center
Note: The content locations that are searched in the Content Search that you create in this step can't include SharePoint or OneDrive for Business sites. You can include only mailboxes and public folders in a Content Search that will be used to email messages. If the Content Search includes sites, you'll receive an error in Step 3 when you run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet.
Tips for finding messages to remove
The goal of the search query is to narrow the results of the search to only the message or messages that you want to remove. Here are some tips:
If you know the exact text or phrase used in the subject line of the message, use the Subject property in the search query.
If you know that exact date (or date range) of the message, include the Received property in the search query.
If you know who sent the message, include the From property in the search query.
Preview the search results to verify that the search returned only the message (or messages) that you want to delete.
Use the search estimate statistics (displayed in the details pane of the search in the Security & Compliance Center or by using the Get-ComplianceSearch cmdlet) to get a count of the total number of results.
Here are two examples of queries to find suspicious email messages.
This query returns messages that were received by users between April 13, 2016 and April 14, 2016 and that contain the words "action" and "required" in the subject line.
(Received:4/13/2016..4/14/2016) AND (Subject:'Action required')
This query returns messages that were sent by firstname.lastname@example.com and that contain the exact phrase "Update your account information" in the subject line.
(From:firstname.lastname@example.com) AND (Subject:"Update your account information")
Step 2: Connect to the Security & Compliance Center using remote PowerShell
The first step is to connect to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell for your organization.
Save the following text to a PowerShell script file by using a filename suffix of .ps1; for example, ConnectSCC.ps1.
# Get login credentials $UserCredential = Get-Credential $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.compliance.protection.outlook.com/powershell-liveid -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session -AllowClobber -DisableNameChecking $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = $UserCredential.UserName + " (Office 365 Security & Compliance Center)"
On your local computer, open PowerShell, go to the folder where the script that you created in the previous step is located, and then run the script; for example:
For more information or if you have problems connecting to Security & Compliance Center, see Connect to Office 365 Security & Compliance Center PowerShell.
Step 3: Delete the message
After you've created and refined a Content Search to return the message that you want to remove and are connected to the Security & Compliance Center with remote PowerShell, the final step is to run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet to delete the message. Deleted messages are moved to a user's Recoverable Items folder.
In the following example, the command will delete the search results returned by a Content Search named "Remove Phishing Message".
Tip: The search specified by the SearchName parameter is the Content Search that you created in Step 1.
For more information, see New-ComplianceSearchAction.
More information
How do you get status on the search and remove operation? Run the Get-ComplianceSearchAction to get the status on the delete operation. Note that the object that is created when you run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet is named by using this format: <name of Content Search>_Purge.
What happens after you delete a message? A message that is deleted by using the New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete command is moved to the Deletions folder in the user's Recoverable Items folder. It isn't immediately purged from Office 365. The user can recover messages in the Deleted Items folder for the duration based on the deleted item retention period configured for the mailbox. After this retention period expires (or if user purges the message before it expires), the message is moved to the Purges folder and can no longer be accessed by the user. Once in the Purges folder, the message is again retained for the duration based on the deleted item retention period configured for the mailbox if single items recovery is enabled for the mailbox. (In Office 365, single item recovery is enabled by default when a new mailbox is created. ) After the deleted item retention period expires, the message is marked from permanent deletion and will be purged from Office 365 the next time that the mailbox is processed by the Managed Folder assistant.
How do you know that messages are deleted and moved to the users' Recoverable Items folder? If you run the same Content Search after you delete a message, you will still see the same number of search results (and might assume that the message wasn't deleted from user mailboxes). This is because a Content Search searches the Recoverable Items folder, which is where the deleted message is moved to after you run the New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete command. To verify that messages where moved to the Recoverable Items folder, you can run an In-Place eDiscovery search (using the same source mailboxes and search criteria as the Content Search created in Step 1) and the copy the search results to discovery mailbox. Then you can view the search results in the discovery mailbox and verify that the messages was moved to the Recoverable Items folder. See Use Content Search in your eDiscovery workflow for details about creating an In-Place eDiscovery search that uses the list of source mailboxes and search query from a Content Search.
What if you have to delete a message from more than 50,000 mailboxes? As previously stated, you can perform a search and purge operation on a maximum of 50,000 mailboxes. If you have to do a search and purge operation on more than 50,000 mailboxes, consider creating temporary search permissions filters that would reduce the number of mailboxes that would be searched to less than 50,000 mailboxes. For example, if your organization contains mailboxes in different departments, states, or countries, you can create a mailbox search permissions filter based on one of those mailbox properties to search a subset of mailboxes in your organization. After you create the search permissions filter, you would create the search (described in Step 1) and then delete the message (described in Step 3). Then you can edit the filter to search for and purge messages in a different set of mailboxes. For more information about creating search permissions filters, see Configure permissions filtering for Content Search.
Will unindexed items included in the search results be deleted? No, the New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete command doesn't delete unindexed items.
What happens if a message is deleted from a mailbox that has been placed on In-Place Hold or Litigation Hold or is assigned to an Office 365 retention policy? After the message is purged (either by the user or after the deleted item retention period expires), the message is retained until the hold duration expires. If the hold duration is unlimited, then items are retained until the hold is removed or the hold duration is changed.
Why is the search and remove workflow divided among different Security & Compliance Center role groups? As previously explained, a person has to be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group or be assigned the Compliance Search management role to search mailboxes. To delete messages, a person has to be a member of the Organization Management role group or be assigned the Search And Purge management role. This makes it possible to control who can search mailboxes in the organization and who can delete messages.

A shimmering sun, ancient symbol of Japan, greets patrons above the entrance of Nagoya Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi in Perrysburg s Levis Commons. More suns decorate the walls, adding to the visual sweep and tranquility of the place.
Like the growing number of other upscale Asian eateries in the Toledo area, Nagoya places a premium on setting, atmosphere, and cuisine. It enlivens the eye with architecturally elegant dining rooms, bamboo pillars, and handsome latticework, while also serving food that is at once familiar and unique.
The familiar is easily recognizable at the long sushi bar in one dining room and the hibachi grills in another. There, knife- and spatula-wielding Asian chefs slice and dice the food with acrobatic skill and comedic showmanship.
The unique surfaces in a delicious, incomparable way, namely Wagyu beef, a delicious, extremely expensive variation of Kobe beef that, so far as I can determine, isn t available anywhere else locally.
As with some other restaurants around town, Nagoya prepares traditional Japanese dishes teriyaki, chicken yakitori, sesame tuna, lettuce wraps, bento boxes, nigiri, and sashimi along with filet mignon, chipotle chicken, grilled Chilean sea bass, rack of lamb, and lobster tails.
Prices are what you d expect from an upscale restaurant, with appetizers in the $5 to $15 range, hibachi meals and combos from $17 to $30, and entrees from $25 to Market Price.
Gingerly dipping our taste buds into the menu, we tried the fire-roasted lobster tail batayaki ($15) as an appetizer rather than the $35 entr e. A Japanese twist on a popular Western delicacy, the batayaki featured glistening chunks of grilled lobster meat in a hollowed-out tail shell, served with clear noodles and a lovely sauce of cream and sundried tomato. A similar sauce accompanied the $7 crab egg roll appetizer along with crab, asparagus, and cream cheese.
Lunch for two at one of the hibachi grills provided enough food to feed a family of four. It included combinations of tender steak with scallops, shrimp, and tuna ($12-$14 each) cut into delectable cubes, along with myriad sides: miso soup or a house salad with ginger dressing, lots of vegetables, sauces, and steamed or fried rice. Dinner prices are about twice as much.
I ve read a lot about Kobe and Wagyu beef without ever having had the opportunity to try it. It is beef densely marbled with unsaturated fat and rated far beyond prime.
At Nagoya, Wagyu is available both American-style (taken from Wagyu cattle cross-bred in America) or Japanese (cattle raised on a Kobe ranch in Japan).
As mentioned, the prices are simply mind-boggling: $60 for 8 ounces of American, and $80 for 8 ounces of Japanese. I split the difference by ordering a 5-ounce special of the latter for $50.
So, was it any good? Well, yes, but in an odd way. It was cooked rare, with small portions wrapped around a clump of rice, and the color was more purple than red.
The texture is smooth, almost like rare tuna, and the taste is intensely beefy.
But I missed the texture of a strip or a T-bone and its attendant juiciness. The Wagyu went down easily, served alongside a dollop of blazingly hot wasabi horseradish, but the mouthfeel of a perfectly done grilled steak wasn t there. In other words, give me a brawny prime or choice steak anyday, at half the price.

Fifty One East officially announces availability of Sony VAIO Fit multi-flip PC at their outlets
Fifty One East, the leading luxury retail chain in Qatar, and Sony Middle East and Africa, the leading consumer electronics brand, announced the new VAIO Fit PC at a collaborative workshop attended by representatives from Fifty One East and Sony, as well as the local media.
Offering uncompromising notebook experience for productive work and play, featuring a multi-flip hinge that transforms the PC to tablet or viewer modes while offering the functionality of a traditional clamshell laptop.
The new VAIO Fit multi-flip PC series comes in 15-inch, 14-inch and 13-inch screen sizes to suit the computing needs of versatile customers and available at all Fifty One East's outlets located in Lagoona Mall, Al Maha Centre, and City Center Doha Mall in addition to all Virgin Megastores.
Sony's VAIO Fit's laptop mode comfortably delivers the same performance as conventional notebook PCs. In tablet mode, it is best utilised for browsing the web, taking pictures, and writing with the digitizer stylus1. The viewer mode allows the user to share the experience of watching a video or movie with another viewer. This makes the VAIO Fit A ideal for professionals, students, designers or entrepreneurs.
A representative of Fifty One East said, "We're continuing to deliver the best of Sony's product to our customers featuring the ground-breaking multi-flip PC series. Sony's biggest innovations integrate the latest technology that suits to the needs of the Qatari audience. We are pleased that the new Sony's VAIO stylish and handy design is now at our store array and we firmly believe that it will bring our clientele the feeling of satisfaction in more simple and productive way."
The PC's thin chassis is constructed with an aluminium hairline finish. The notebook comes with a full-pitch keyboard, touch pad and palm rest to offer a comfortable typing experience. A backlit keyboard allows users to work in low-light conditions.
Inspiring Creativity
The VAIO Inspiration Suite aims to replace the necessity of pen and paper with a collection of core apps that allow users to seamlessly capture, edit and organise content on their VAIO notebooks.
In addition, the VAIO Fit multi-flip PC comes pre-loaded with a trio of apps. After shooting and reorienting images on CamScanner, users can then clip out the subject of the image using VAIO Clip and write memos on top of the images with their digitizer stylus in VAIO Paper. This provides the same experience as drafting or sketching with pen and paper and much more.
Combining the best of Sony's digital imaging expertise, the Exmor RS for PC imaging sensor found on the VAIO Fit 13A makes it possible to capture high-resolution images of documents. Images are clear enough for the computer to recognise and tag texts in the photos, which works harmoniously with the CamScanner2 app. The back-illuminated CMOS sensor also ensures there is reduced noise in low-light situations.
Sony has also incorporated other key technologies into the VAIO Fit multi-flip PC such as the TRILUMINOS display for mobile and X-RealityTM for mobile, adapted from technology used in the Sony BRAVIA 2013 range of TVs. These allow for a more vivid reproduction of colours on screen and ensure the sharpest picture quality. The VAIO Fit multi-flip PC is also powered to deliver dynamic bass and soaring highs without distortion with the ClearAudio+ mode that uses a variety of sound technologies to deliver a superior audio performance. With one simple operation, users can enjoy music with the levels of sharpness and depth that the artist intended.
The VAIO Fit multi-flip PC is NFC-enabled, which makes connecting devices to the PC a breeze. By simply hovering compatible NFC products over the PC, you can stream music from the PC directly to your NFC speakers.
