Technology Use Policies
1. Applicability
These policies govern the use of law school technology resources by faculty, staff, students, and other authorized users. Resources provided to users by third parties pursuant to contractual arrangements with the law school are also subject to these policies. These rules replace the law school's computer use policies and rules dated August 1, 1995.
2. Permitted Uses
Law school technology resources are to be used for school-related purposes. Personal noncommercial use of such resources for other purposes is permitted only if it is merely incidental, does not consume substantial resources nor interfere with school-related uses, does not violate other published policies, and does not tend to create a false or misleading appearance of endorsement by or association with the law school.
3. Prohibited Activities
a. No person may access law school technology resources without authorization or in a manner that exceeds the scope of authorized access or violates published law school regulations or policies. No person may use another person's password. Users must not conceal or disguise their identities.
b. No person may use law school technology resources in a manner that is unlawful or that damages the property of, violates the rights of, or otherwise causes injury to the law school or another person. This includes but is not limited to engaging in harassment or threats.
c. Except as permitted by other provisions of these policies, no person may intentionally disrupt access to law school technology facilities by other users. This includes, but is not limited to, spamming, bombing, chain letters and other activities that are wasteful of the law school's technology resources, as well as the distribution of viruses, worms, or other rogue programs.
d. No person may share a password or other confidential account information with any third party, nor knowingly or recklessly permit any third party to access technology resources without authorization. A person who violates this provision may be held responsible for any actions taken by such third party.
e. Except where specifically authorized by the law school, a person may not use more than one law school computer at a time and may not reserve or obstruct the use by others of any computer during periods of absence. Users may not remove or modify any of the law school's equipment without authorization.
f. Users may not violate civil or criminal laws including but not limited to the infringement of copyright and other intellectual property rights or the violation of contract and licensing rights.
g. Users may not send communications to third parties falsely suggesting that the law school is endorsing or condoning the content of the communication or that the sender is acting on behalf of the law school.
h. For student users, failures of technology resources shall not be considered an excuse or justification for late or incomplete academic work except at the discretion of the faculty member concerned.
i. Faculty members shall have the discretion to establish and enforce policies on the use of computers and other technology resources within their classrooms consistent with this policy.
4. Privacy
The law school recognizes the rights of all users to confidentiality and privacy of their electronic mail, other communications, and stored data and undertakes to respect these rights as much as possible while maintaining the integrity and effective operation of its technology resources. The law school will monitor, access, examine, or disclose the contents of such communications and information without a user's consent only for legitimate purposes as set forth below.
a. The law school will not routinely monitor the content of users' communications and information, but may do so as deemed necessary for purposes of maintaining the integrity and effective operation of its systems necessary for communications and other technology resources.
b. The law school may inspect and disclose the contents of communications and information that is transmitted, received, or stored using the law school's technology resources only under the following circumstances:
i. in the course of an investigation triggered by indications of misconduct or misuse including violation of this policy;
ii. as needed to protect health and safety;
iii. as needed to prevent interference with the law school's academic mission;
iv. as needed to ensure the proper functioning of the law school's technology systems operations;
v. as needed to locate substantive information required for law school business that is not readily available by some other means;
vi. where required by law or to fulfill the law school's legal obligations to third parties.
c. The extent of any inspection or disclosure shall be limited to that reasonably necessary to serve its legitimate purpose.
d. Except where notification would be inconsistent with the purpose of the inspection or disclosure, a user shall be notified in the event of an inspection or disclosure of the user's communications or information. Where feasible such notification shall occur in advance, and the user shall be given a reasonable opportunity to seek review of the decision before it is implemented. Where advance notification is not feasible, a user normally shall be notified contemporaneously with the inspection or disclosure, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably feasible.
5. Limitation of Liability
The law school does not provide a warranty, either express or implied, for its technology resources and related services that may be provided and undertakes no obligation to provide such resources and services. The law school assumes no responsibility for data stored or transmitted using its resources. Any backups maintained by the law school are maintained solely for the law school's own benefit and use. The law school is not liable for any losses, including lost revenues, claims, or demands against any user by any other party.
6. Enforcement
The Dean has the authority to temporarily or permanently limit, suspend, or terminate any user's access to the school's technology resources if, in the Dean's discretion, it is in the best interests of the school. Violations of this policy additionally may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the appropriate disciplinary procedures for faculty, staff and students.
7. Termination of Access to the John Marshall Network
For staff employees, adjunct instructors, and contractors, access to the JMLS network, including access to a JMLS email account and Ellucian/Colleague or successor ERP system, will terminate on (i) the last active work day, for staff employees; (ii) the date of termination or expiration of their adjunct appointment, for adjuncts; or (iii) the date their contractual engagement for the school ends, for contractors. JMLS may provide students with access to a JMLS email account and limited access to the JMLS network for up to one year after graduation.
JMLS reserves the right, from time to time, to review and revise use policies and rules.
Network/Server Maintenance Policy
Maintenance Window
The Information Technology Services scheduled maintenance window will occur on the following days and times:
- Second and fourth Thursdays of each month: 9 p.m. – Midnight
During these maintenance times users can expect that connectivity and application support may be interrupted. Interruptions may not occur on these scheduled evenings, but users should be aware that they could be possible during this timeframe.
This scheduled maintenance gives both the ITS department and the user community a predictable timeframe when maintenance can occur.
Emergency Maintenance
When emergency maintenance does occur, it may occur upon short notice. ITS will always try to give as much notice as possible in an emergency situation, but cannot always guarantee that notice will be given.
Policy Agreement for Technical Services Performed
The John Marshall Law School ITS offers students free, limited, computer troubleshooting and repair. Due to the limited nature of the support, we can not guarantee that all problems will be resolved.
Prior to support being performed on any equipment, we request that this service agreement is read, signed, and dated. Please read the following carefully;

For site management functions, information is collected for analysis and statistical purposes. This information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information and will not be released to any outside parties unless legally required to do so in connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings.
Wireless Network Policy
Conditions of Use for Wired/Wireless Networks
JMLS will periodically scan the wired/wireless network for worms, trojans, and viruses on laptops that are in use on the wired/wireless networks. We reserve the right to deny access to the networks to any user who is found to have worms, trojans, or viruses that emanate from the IP address assigned to that user.
The user will take all appropriate steps to ensure that laptops are updated with the current Microsoft patches. Keeping patches current minimizes the exposure to worms, viruses, or trojans on the wired/wireless networks. Users that have consistently shown disregard for keeping patches and updates current may be denied access to the wired/wireless.
Users with less than a one-year paid subscription to anti-virus software may be allowed to use their anti-virus program of choice, but access to the wired/wireless network will terminate upon end of subscription to anti-virus. Users with anti-virus software that has less than a one-year umpaid subscription will be blacklisted and not allowed to access any network resource, including the internet.
File Sharing
JMLS does not allow peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing on the wired/wireless network. JMLS reserves the right to deny the use of file sharing technology over its network through the use of network devices. In addition, users will be asked to remove free illegal file-sharing P2P software. Such titles include, but are not limited to, Napster, Morpheus, BearShare, uTorrent, and other fully paid file sharing programs. Users who consistently install illegal P2P programs, after repeated warnings, may be denied access to the wired/wireless network at the full discretion of ITS.
Violation of Computer Policy Guidelines
Violations of the Computer Policy Guidelines (the Guidelines) shall be subject to the JMLS Code of Conduct.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Rules for Discipline Proceedings set forth in the Student Handbook shall apply to any complaint based in whole or in part on a violation of the Guidelines, subject to the following additional procedures and rights:
a. At any time during the disposition of a complaint based in whole or in part on a violation of the Guidelines, the Dean shall have the right to take such measures as the Dean, in his or her discretion, shall deem advisable to limit or reduce any potential harm caused by such alleged violation, including without limitation, removing from the JMLS network any communication on which such violation is based and/or causing to be broadcast or communicated over the JMLS network or any other media the Dean selects any disclaimer, corrective, or other statement designed to limit or reduce such potential harm. Such measures may be taken without prior notice to the student and shall not be considered an adjudication or evidence of guilt. In the event such measures are taken, the student in interest, if identified, will be given notice of such action as soon as practicable.
b. In addition to the sanctions which may be imposed pursuant to the Code of Conduct, the HP may permanently remove from the JMLS network any communication which violates the Code of Conduct and/or terminate the student's privileges regarding the JMLS network in whole or in part.
c. Nothing in the Code of Conduct shall preclude the Dean from causing such assistance to be provided to law enforcement and investigative officials as the Dean shall deem appropriate in his or her discretion.
d. The Dean may consult with such members of the faculty or staff as the Dean deems useful and may disclose such information regarding the alleged violation as the Dean considers reasonably necessary to assist in his or her deliberations. Such faculty or staff members shall maintain the confidentiality of the information so disclosed.
Computer Replacement Policy
In 2002, Information Technology Services (ITS) implemented an industry standard three-year PC replacement cycle. The three-year cycle allows ITS to allocate the needed budget and staff resources to complete computer upgrades for faculty, staff, and student lab computers.
As the upgrades involve a considerable amount of staff resources, one constituency will be upgraded to current technology, every summer. For example: year one - students; year two - faculty; year three - staff.
The use of the three-year replacement cycle ensures that each constituency will have standardized PCs, software, operating systems, and peripherals. The three-year cycle also provides the opportunity to refresh computers with the latest software security applications and updates, ensuring that all users are protected from malicious attacks.
Because some equipment sees more use than other equipment, the three-year cycle has ended the ad-hoc PC upgrades of prior years that made for varying levels of support. Every new computer is purchased with a three-year warranty and complete care coverage, ensuring that the hardware will be supported throughout the life of the computer.
Every effort will be made to ensure that the latest technology and software programs used in the upgrade cycle are compatible with the other constituencies.
The hardware and software standards used in the upgrade will be determined by the ITS department based upon purchase price, reliability, maintenance costs, compatibility, and performance. Occasionally, a pilot program may be used to determine the viability of new hardware and software used in the standard issue configuration.
In some cases, choices between laptops and desktops will be available.
Requests for additional equipment will be made pending approval of appropriate department head or dean.
Used Equipment/Computers
After the hardware updates have been completed, ITS gives away any excess computers and equipment. At the time of the upgrade, users being upgraded will have the opportunity to request that their computer be returned to them, once the computers have had any law school licensed software applications removed.
The hard drives on all remaining computers will be reformatted, wiping all the data from the hard drive, and a fresh installation of an operating system will be installed. An announcement will be sent to the school regarding the used equipment give-a-way, once all the equipment is formatted and ready to be released. The used equipment give-a-way is performed on a first-come-first-served basis; a website will be made available to allow users to make requests for equipment.
Requests for used equipment will not be accepted by email or telephone
Each person will be limited to one computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse
No support or warranty is provided for any of the equipment that is given away
Users are responsible for the purchase, licensing, and installation of any additional software, such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc.
Copyright Infringement
Unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material violates the U.S. Copyright Act as well as John Marshall's Technology Use Policies (TUP). These policies, among other things, prohibit illegal downloading and sharing of copyrighted material over the John Marshall network, including through the use of email, web pages, and peer-to-peer file-sharing software. This prohibition applies to all computers and mobile devices accessing the John Marshall network, whether owned by John Marshall or personally owned by a community member. Before downloading or sharing any material over the John Marshall network, members of the community should ensure they have the legal right to do so.
John Marshall's responsibility under the law is to respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing. The policies for Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaints are as follows:
- The first time that ITS receives a DMCA complaint for a student, ITS will send a notice to the student, requiring the student to make an appointment to meet with the Director of Library & Technology within a specified period of time. The student will be required to remove or block access to any materials identified as infringing copyright in the DMCA notice, as well as any other infringing material, and certify in writing that he or she has done so. If ITS does not receive a response to its violation notice within the specified time, ITS will suspend the student's access to the John Marshall network.
- If ITS receives subsequent DMCA complaints for the same student, ITS will suspend network access for the student and refer the matter to Associate Dean of Student Affairs for disciplinary action. Details regarding the first complaint will be provided and taken into account in any disciplinary sanction. ITS will only restore network access upon the request of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
- These policies apply to faculty, staff and other authorized users, as well as students. If ITS receives a DMCA complaint for a faculty member, the matter will be referred to the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs. If ITS receives a DMCA complaint for a staff member or other authorized user, the matter will be referred to the individual's department head, supervisor or, for guests, primary faculty or staff contact, and the General Counsel and Assistant Dean for Human Services.
The ITS department also employs the following technology-based deterrents to the unauthorized copying and distribution of copyrighted material: (1) dropping traffic associated with common peer-to-peer file sharing protocols on the John Marshall network, (2) tracing illegal activity to specific users on the John Marshall network, including its wireless network, in response to DMCA complaints, and (3) random reviews of high bandwidth usage on the John Marshall network.
The John Marshall Law School is committed to upholding copyright law and deterring infringement, and it strongly encourages the use of legal alternatives to illegal file sharing. For a comprehensive list of legal sources of online content, visit the EDUCAUSE website.
This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and modified as necessary to ensure its continuing effectiveness. Last reviewed: March 7, 2017.
Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright Laws
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under § 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the U.S. Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, U.S. Code, §§ 504, 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.
For more information, please see the Web site of the U.S. Copyright Office at www.copyright.gov, especially their FAQs at www.copyright.gov/help/faq.

Metaphors of Causation with George Lakoff
Premiere Date: 2/3/2012; 84 minutes

Hi guys,
I'm getting well into my build now and need to choose a bed that the job will be mounted to. I have looked at aluminium box extrusions but find it really pricey for the runs I would need to make.
Where did any Aussie guys find their beds?
I was considering getting a 6mm stainless plate with 12mm holes drilled spaced every 150mm in a grid.
What do you guys suggest?
24-10-2016 #2
Australia or the North pole, all is more or less the same. Please take a look at my thoughts on the subject #165 with detailed price comparison . It's in Euro but even in $ preces are similar and relations between them also. My personal choice is 140 UPN profile for a serious machine.
25-10-2016 #3
How about tooling plate?
I'm currently building a router with a 30mm bed.
Not sure about the grid for the holes yet, but the machine will make them by itself.
I would never choose stainless though, too difficult and expensive.

http://www.actionaluminium.com.au/index.html They have interstate branches! QLD has the bigest stock/range.
Give them a call and see what they can do for you. In Melb they are quite friendly.
Here is the trick.. If you are thinking of making production run parts think about making jigs and the attachment of those jigs.
If on the other hand you intend to have a big plate with dowels and threads then it is a lot of money and rarely used to its full capacity.
I did a similar design that had a series of pedestals that supported a number of plates.
At the end of the day we ran a dial mic over the jig and adjusted the jig so as to have finished parts within tolerance.
Moral of the story .. figure out what you want to do and design to meet those needs. bolt it on so as to have flexibility if the goals move or change. example " oh dear a plasma cutter would be nice"
Now we need a fume extraction or water bath as a bed.
I don't mean to confuse the issue, a good plan and a set of goals is more that half the work.
27-10-2016 #9
You are quite right I do want to do Plasma cutting but not cut my expensive bed. hence the plate idea. I can easily place it and remove it. depends on what I can do I wanted a swappable bed. but it's hard to keep it at the right height if it constantly swapped in and out.
Thanks for the heads up.

same here its really a horrible idea to take away pve it takes a lot away from the game
What a complete shambles, how can you make such a drastic change to the game play without consultation with the players.
With most except the unknowing hiding troops, how are people going to gain respect other than upgrading lvls and research, which is not what the game is about. You still kill and lose troops fighting a gang so why should there not be respect points awarded. You still have to replace your losses.
Stuff the game if thats how its going to continue because attacking gangs for the occasional payout of a bonus item aint worth the effort.
And Greenwich village deeds, now gone from Gangs and Lucky dip? Thanks a bunch for that guys, lets pander to the people with credit cards and hackers, cos thats the only people you will have left soon. And as has been said they will get bored if the real players clear off.
48 Hours to change it boys or I'm off.
I attacked a murder inc gang, got no respect, no contracts, a heavy troop loss and not enough cash to bail what troops got jailed, what is the point in having the black hand gangs or the murder inc gangs, if this is what your up against, completely pointless now if you ask me!!!! hope this will get sorted soon as i can see myself easily getting bored with this game.
With the way things are people aren't opening the gates to defend. The only way to get this to work is if we can attack enough times to weaken the wall and break through. Otherwise, the smart players will hide behind their wall laughing at the meaningless resources that are being plundered by their enemy. In all, a terrible idea that only affects the smaller/newer players.
all true it really robes me as i still have to attack the gangs and only ppl that are not hiding have so many troop its a suicide to attack also due to recent changes to defences its difficult for me to attack again lost over 6k troop on a lost cause 3k thughs and the rest snip 2k butch2k+ dont count the 1.5k butch I bailed for 7k respect the other guy lost way too little to make it worth it, further attack orders it seems to me like they replenish a lot slower!!! So 3 issues here the first no respect fr gangs plays right into high diamond players hands and hadfull of ppl that work toghether the rest is left in the dust. I do buy diamonds but within a reason.
Very bad this thing i will not play anymore !!!!!
until they put back the respect gain by attacking gangs and cityscapes
I understood removing respect from bailing units out . ok , but this , what the hell ? what is the purpose of this ? what did developers try to get with this ? more PvP engagement maybe ? what for ? to bang on gangster walls . no thank you , everyone is hiding . how am I supposed to get some respect now ? and new players , oh dear , I feel sorry for them ...
Seriously, without getting respect from PvE then what's the point? Especially with all the troop cloners. I just a msg from one of the top players on my server saying that he is leaving because this game is a joke now.

Chapter One
The original idea of The Apprentice came to me while I was in the Amazon jungle making Survivor: Amazon, watching a bunch of ants devour a carcass. -MARK BURNETT
IN 1948 ALLEN FUNT, A GOOD-HUMORED BALD GUY WITH A VOYEUR'S love of the absurd, produced a new TV program for American airwaves. It was called Candid Microphone, and every Sunday night at eight o'clock on ABC it dished up foibles, embarrassments, unlikely scenarios, and gaffes that featured real people responding to unreal setups. A year later the program was renamed Candid Camera. It was America's first reality TV show.
Funt's crew secretly filmed unwitting people walking into the middle of bizarre, often hilarious, and relatively harmless situations-a visitor to an old-fashioned Automat would try to buy a sandwich from a hostile vending machine that talked back; a compact car would suck down oceans of fuel in front of a puzzled gas station attendant; a bowling ball would return to a confused bowler with its finger holes missing; dogs tried to pee on moving fire hydrants.
Candid Camera was unscripted, unrehearsed television, and the only actors were those helping to orchestrate the gags. The show bounced around various networks until finally hitting it big during a seven-year run on CBS in the 1960s. After unknowing participants had been duped, Funt clued in the human guinea pigs with a catchphrase that landed in the popular lexicon: "Smile, you're on Candid Camera!" Funt never pushed his stunts to the point of outright humiliation; Candid Camera's premise, and its relatively kitschy innocence, hinged on people laughing at themselves. The show's high jinks made it a prime-time hit, and it thrived for decades after its debut in syndication, specials, and remakes.
However popular Candid Camera may have been, though, it represented a genre-with the exception of a few popular shows like COPS, Real World, and America's Funniest Home Videos-that lay dormant on American prime-time television until the late 1990s. Then, stung by a loss of viewers and watercooler buzz to more innovative, more targeted, and more creatively unshackled cable operators, network television programmers revisited reality. The show that ushered in the new era in network programming debuted in the summer of 2000 on CBS, and it became a ratings powerhouse known as Survivor. By stranding contestants in punishing locales and pitting them against one another, Survivor attracted about fifty-one million viewers to its first-season finale and spawned a host of sequels and knockoffs including The Bachelor, American Idol, Fear Factor, and The Osbournes. Although as voyeuristic as any of its predecessors, Survivor's emotional traction was a far cry from the mild sandbox play of Candid Camera. It was meant to be provocative, Darwinian, and as riveting as a catty soap opera or a gripping serial novel; The Most Dangerous Game on steroids, unfolding weekly in your den, bedroom, and dorm. And Survivor was the brainchild of a former British paratrooper, skydiver, scuba diver, Beverly Hills nanny, and used-clothing salesman named Mark Burnett.
Burnett's unusual pedigree included dangerous firefights he was involved in during the British invasion of the Falkland Islands when he was only eighteen years old. "Real stuff," Burnett told The New York Times's television reporter, Bill Carter. "Horrific. But on the other hand, in a sick way, exciting."
After knocking about through a series of jobs in Los Angeles, Burnett's enthusiasm for the hair-raising and the physically challenging coalesced into his first successful TV pitch, Eco-Challenge, an outdoor competition show first broadcast in 1995-a show Burnett, who had no television experience, landed on the tube through sheer persistence and that became famous for the episode in which a leech squirmed into one contestant's urethra.
About four years of relentless door knocking, and ample inspiration from British reality shows that were already hits, also preceded Survivor's sale to CBS in 2000. But after Burnett launched Survivor into the ratings stratosphere, he had his pick of prime time openings waiting to be filled. His slate would come to include Combat Missions, a show featuring former army and navy commandos rescuing hostages; Destination Space, an astronaut bake-off in which the winner gets catapulted, like a commando, aboard a rocket to a space station; The Restaurant, a behind-the-scenes look at the kitchen and business of a Manhattan bistro, where the chef-owner was a culinary commando; The Contender, a reality boxing show co-produced by movie commando and pugilist Sylvester Stallone; and a scripted comedy called, inevitably, Commando Nanny.
But the most popular show Burnett produced other than Survivor was The Apprentice, and the cult status it immediately achieved when it first aired in early 2004 illustrated Burnett's ability to stir up viewers' anxieties-whether about being torn up in the jungle or torn up in the workplace. The Apprentice also showed that Burnett, a British immigrant who was the son of factory workers, had a grasp of the personalities that held sway in the American imagination, a sensibility that came straight out of his own experience.
"I came here with nothing, with maybe a hundred bucks in my pocket and had to get a job," Burnett recalled. "And these wealthy people who had made their money themselves, I worked for. It did show me what could be achieved in America, what's possible if you have some vision to take big risks. And I always wanted to do a show that was about entrepreneurialism. It led on, quite frankly, to The Apprentice, where a bunch of people, I wasn't sure how many at the time, would vie to be the apprentice of a master of industry. I knew clearly there was only one master who was colorful enough, charismatic enough, who is really a billionaire, was Trump.
"But also, what an intimidating guy to interview with and I thought: 'How about a 13-week televised job interview to be Trump's apprentice, six-figure salary, and be president of one of his companies.' It just clicked."
Burnett, a showman who donned a brown felt Akubra, a la Indiana Jones, reveled in the Trumpster zeitgeist. During his long-gone days of scrambling for a buck selling T-shirts on Venice Beach, Burnett devoured a little tome called The Art of the Deal, and he credited its author, Donald, with inspiring his own business ventures.
"He's a regular guy who speaks his mind, who goes against the establishment all the time," Burnett said of Donald. "He's sued New York how many times, and won? This is a brilliant businessman that stands for what is great about our country, what makes America the best country in the world.
"He loves business and loves to orate about business. He always tells me: 'You know where the real jungle is? Manhattan, New York City. That's my jungle and that's the real jungle, Burnett. There's more snakes here and more things that can kill ya here than any jungle in the world.'"
Burnett and Donald met face-to-face for the first time in early 2002, after Burnett asked Donald if he could use the Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park to stage a Survivor episode. A year later, with visions of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" episode from the Disney film Fantasia in his head, Burnett decided to pitch Donald on the idea of doing a reality television show together. In early 2003, after preparing spreadsheets and schedules outlining what would become The Apprentice, Burnett phoned Donald from his car on his way into Manhattan from the airport. He asked Donald if he had time for a meeting the following week. Donald suggested he come over right away. About forty-five minutes after Burnett arrived at Trump Tower, the two men agreed to try to sell a reality show together to the networks.
Burnett pitched The Apprentice to the four major networks and wound up with CBS and NBC as final bidders. Jeff Zucker, a thirty-eight-year-old programming whiz who began his career overseeing a revival of the Today show before being given responsibility for all of NBC's television holdings, led the negotiations for the network. Desperate to find a replacement show for Friends to anchor the lucrative Thursday-night lineup he and NBC had built around the sitcom, Zucker reeled in The Apprentice.
Donald said that ABC missed out on The Apprentice because the network tried to get the show cheaply. "What happened is, instead of saying, Yes, we want to do it, they started to chisel. Instead of offering the $2 million a show that was necessary to do because of production value-that Mark really wanted and I knew nothing about because I am not in that world, he said you need like $2 million a show-they said, 'We'll give you $1.7 million.' Mark then went to the other networks; they all wanted it. He went to NBC and Jeff Zucker actually locked the group in the room until they signed it.
"They locked the door. They took out a pencil or a pen, made the changes in pencil and a pen. I don't even think there were even lawyers. Like the old days when I used to do real estate deals in Brooklyn. You would be afraid you would lose the deal so you would sit a guy in a room and say, 'Cross off that word.'"
Burnett said that he and his partner had to do a little bit of convincing to get the broadcasting executives to play ball.
"All of the networks wondered if anyone outside New York really cared about Trump and would it work, but I had a track record and I stuck by my guns," Burnett told me. "I believed in the format and I don't think they understood how well Trump would telegraph across the screen-and how his take-no-prisoners approach appealed to people all over the world. So they bought it."
For his part, Zucker said he was determined to snare The Apprentice from the get-go, and, like Donald, said that he locked Burnett in a room at NBC and wouldn't let him leave the negotiating table until they had a deal. Zucker also had no doubts about Donald's broader appeal beyond New York.
"I'm a New Yorker, I come from New York, I was aware of Donald and all of the publicity he attracts, and that he was a character, and I knew immediately that I wanted to do the show," Zucker told me. "I was not worried about how well it would play outside of New York. I knew that Donald was universal. He's the quintessential made-in-America story: He's been up, he's been down, he's been back up again."
Although Donald was the inspiration for The Apprentice, Burnett was its architect. He brought Donald aboard as executive producer and split international licensing rights and ownership of The Apprentice brand with him. Donald made $50,000 an episode to showcase his one-of-a-kind, carnivalesque traits: the High Plains Drifter glower, the eyebrows that wandered around his forehead like fuzzy Slinkies, the bicycle-helmet hairdo, the toughest-guy-in-the-bar swagger, the Day-Glo silk ties, and, above all, his unfailing, spot-on assessments of contestants' strengths and weaknesses-and an unflinching willingness to say exactly what every viewer was already thinking about the ambitious, conniving, befuddled, and aspiring apprentices. Donald, as ringmaster and court jester, was channeling America.
Around all of this, Burnett had a very specific, opera bouffe narrative in mind. "The philosophy of Survivor is to build a world and destroy exactly what you've built for personal gain, and The Apprentice is a kingdom: I've taken a castle and a throne, and the king (Trump) is saying, 'Off with your head,'" Burnett noted. Contestants, he added, are "so drawn to the horror of being excluded, of being killed, it's magnetic. What's really interesting about these types of shows is they're unpredictable, but in a very familiar setting."
At the time that Burnett hoisted Donald into The Apprentice's firmament, Donald was, more or less, a down-on-his-luck real estate promoter with a failing casino company whose mantra and appetites appeared to be stuck in a Reagan-era time warp. The Cheshire Cat of the business world, Donald had watched many of the assets he assembled a decade earlier evaporate around him until all that was left was a mesmeric, well-known name. He had morphed into "Trump," the human marquee. But The Apprentice rescued him from all of that.
Season One of The Apprentice kicked off in bravura, tele-novella fashion with Donald-in his limo! in his chopper!-reintroducing himself to America.
"New York, my city, where the wheels of the global economy never stop turning, a concrete metropolis of unparalleled strength and purpose that drives the business world," he said in the show's introduction as the camera raced across the Hudson River and then swooped and nose-dived around Manhattan's granite-and-glass canyons. "If you're not careful, it can chew you up and spit you out. But if you work hard you can really hit it big. And I mean really big.
"My name is Donald Trump and I'm the largest real estate developer in New York. I own buildings all over the place, model agencies, the Miss Universe Pageant, jetliners, golf courses, casinos, and private resorts like Mar-a-Lago, one of the most spectacular estates anywhere in the world," he added. "But it wasn't always so easy. About thirteen years ago I was in serious trouble. I was billions of dollars in debt. But I fought back and won-big league. I used my brain. I used my negotiating skills. And I worked it all out. Now my company is bigger than it ever was and stronger than it ever was and I'm having more fun than I ever had.
"I've mastered the art of the deal and I've turned the name Trump into the highest-quality brand. And as the master I want to pass my knowledge along to somebody else. I'm looking for [pregnant pause] ... The Apprentice." Cue Olympian music as Donald's helicopter banked steeply, tipping its rotors in a salute to the Big Apple.
Donald's Apprentice intro was laced with a number of howlers. By most reasonable measures, for example, Donald was not remotely close to being the largest real estate developer in New York, and his loose collection of cash-poor assets did not approximate the value of what he was juggling at the top of his game in the late 1980s. But The Apprentice presented our hero at full, rat-a-tat tilt, and he exploited the opportunity with singular gusto. The show also managed to lend Donald a patina of corporate grandiosity. The Apprentice's woody, dark Fortune 500 boardroom, for example, bore little resemblance to the Trump Organization's actual office space on the twenty-sixth floor of Trump Tower. The real thing was a tad run-down and worn, surprisingly vacant, ornamented with Lucite chandeliers, maroon-velvet chairs, cushy pod furniture, and other decor that smacked of a JFK Airport lounge, circa 1970. The Trump Organization's boardroom on The Apprentice, on the other hand, was all shadow, anxiety, and financial power, an inner sanctum where final reckonings occurred.
As The Apprentice rolled out its contestants, instantly handicapping them proved irresistible. Troy seemed to be a rube, an unwary lamb quick to the slaughter. Bill had the look and voice of a Chicago Bears fan. How could he win? Kristi was statuesque, well spoken, and aggressive. Maybe. Omarosa was statuesque, well spoken, and aggressive. Maybe. Kwame was smooth, smart, handsome. A shoe-in. And Sam. Gee, Sam looked very wired and springy. Interesting. Amy was polished and confident and blond. Possibly. Nick had a husky voice matched with a Baby Huey face. No way. There was a Rainbow Coalition on the show that included two African Americans, an Asian American woman, college grads, someone who had been in a soft-core porn film, somebody who never made it past high school, women, men, lots of Type A's, and lots of possibilities for conflict and very non-PC infighting. And almost all the instant handicapping (at least mine) proved to be shallow, superficial, and wrong.
Even Donald admitted to having unfounded doubts about the star power of some of his contestants, especially Omarosa Manigault Stallworth, an African American woman who bared her self-absorption, claws, and accusations of racism to great effect.
"I didn't think she had it. But she was great casting," Donald said of Stallworth. "We didn't know she was the Wicked Witch until the audience found she was the Wicked Witch. We had an idea but you never know how it is going to be picked up."

This strikes me hard !! a inside view of the man who would be our President? His mistakes, his accomplishments, his flaws his humanity, his good side his not so much side? an in depth study? so this makes up my mind and I will vote for Mr Trump on November 8th 2016.
This book is impossible to put down. The writer obviously respects Trump's moxie while simultaneously laughing at the fabrication of the fable that was Donald Trump.

I`m 22 years old and their is a sore lump in my left breast. The skin over the area is red. Is it possible that I have breast cancer? the sore lump is painful sometimes.Reply..Please........
A red, painful mass in the breast of a 22 year old woman is probably an abscess (localized infection with a fluid collection). Cancer is rare in this age group. I recommend you see a physician and have it evaluated.

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have been listed, which means office spaces are probably leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About NaN% of the available space in the Meadowbrook are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.

For Microsoft, the traditional desktop is old news. It's on its way out, it's legacy, and the harder they claim the desktop has equal rights, the sillier it becomes. With companies, words are meaningless, it's actions that matter, and here Microsoft's actions tell the real story. The company has announced the product line-up for Visual Studio 11, and the free Express can no longer be used to create desktop applications. Message is clear.

Assuming the rumours are true about WinRT being extended in later versions to support traditional desktop applications then I guess Microsoft wish to get the next generation of programmers used to the new way of programming. If the rumours aren't true then it is going to be a horrific clusterf-ck of a disjointed code base at many software companies who want to simultaneously cater for Metro users as well as traditional win32 desktop users.

Phishing has become one of the most common risks of the internet, with even tech-savvy and cautious users falling victim. Being phished might lead to the theft of personal details like your social security number or banking passwords — and it can also put your business at risk as well.
So how does phishing work? Most commonly, users receive a "spoofed" email that appears to come from a legitimate website they frequently have online dealings with, like their bank, credit card company, or ISP, or in some cases even their employer. The one thing these spoofed sites have in common is they require the user to have a personal ID or account. The phishing email informs the user their account is somehow at risk — that they may need a security update, or to reset their password.
The phishing email may also direct you to a spoofed website or pop-up window which looks exactly like the real site, but has been set up for the sole purpose of stealing personal information. Unaware that the site isn't real, unsuspecting users are fooled into handing over credit card numbers, passwords, or other details.
According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APGW), the number of phishing attacks occurring every day are staggering. According to APWG's most recent annual Global Phishing Survey, in 2014 there were 123,972 unique phishing attacks worldwide. Companies are under constant attack, receiving 1,000 or more phishing attempts per month. The speed with which phishing attacks are mitigated is up as well, which means they're not being shut down during those critical first few hours of an attack.
Scam artists will use familiar brands, high profile names, identifiable logos, and more to make their messages look legitimate, but there are a few ways to spot a phishing attempt. According to the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission, common phishing tactics include:

deceiving! I liked this light very much from the photo & descriptions. Only thing that concerned me was placing the crystals on from reading reviews. The light is not the color in the photo, mine came with liuttle or no instructions except a drawing on where the crystals went. I came with 3 different styles of crystals, almost like it was repackaged from bits and pieces from another light. it has holes in the framework that do not match any of the spots to place crystals and none in other places they were to be put. I kept the light but would not recommend it to someone else.

His & Hers = perfect compromise! My husband & i wanted "chandeliers" for our individual walk in closets. our master bath has the 6 light wrought iron crystal chandelier & we wanted to continue with the theme. The 4 light Versailles chandelier was just what we needed. My husband wanted a more masculine look - so he left off the crystals but used the lampshades. i wanted a more chic look - so i used the crystals but left off the shades. a perfect compromise. Easy installation altho the crystals were a bit difficult to attach - but look wonderful once together! So happy with our choice & the price was a great buy!!!

Gorgeous Chandelier I own 3 of these chandeliers. It is not real crystal, it is made of glass but it still sparkles. For the price you can't beat it. The color of the iron is almost black. It is very sturdy and easy to put together. You have to follow the directions to put on the crystals. I had extra crystals leftover which is nice because when I moved a crystal cracked and I had another plenty to replace it. If you are looking for elegance this is a great chandelier. I have all three going down my hallway. It is truly grand and I get lot's of compliments. It gives off plenty of light. I use mine without the shades and it is very bright. My husband said it was easy to hang. I would recommend putting the crystals on before you hang it.

lovely lighting Chandelier is exactly like the photograph. It meets our expectation and looks wonderful in our room. The only negative is one of the crystals came broken but there was an extra one to replace the broken one. Also the directions were very sparse which led to a longer time to assemble the chandelier.

Leaving Negative Feedback for Non Responsive, Non Paying Group Break Participants
I just wanted to get some opinions on this issue.
Say a person signs up for a group break and I send out a PM telling everyone when it is active and ready to accept payments. When it is about 24 hours to the deadline, I send out another PM to the people who have yet to pay reminding them. Say the person has been online since the PM's have been sent so they have had a chance to read them yet do not pay or send any message back saying they want to drop out or need an extension or something forcing you to replace their spot in the end. Does this behavior warrant a negative feedback? I wouldn't want someone like this joining my break if they are going to act like this and waste my time.
