In Trout Point Lodge, Ltd. v. Handshoe, 729 F.3d 481 (5th Cir. 2013), the Fifth Circuit became the first appellate court in the country to interpret the Securing the Protection of Our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage Act, Pub. L. No. 111-223, § 2, 124 Stat. 2380; 28 U.S.C. § 4101 (the "SPEECH Act"). Congress enacted the SPEECH Act to redress "libel tourism" where defamation or privacy plaintiff obtains a judgment against a defendant in a country that is hostile to the freedoms of expression found in the First Amendment. The SPEECH Act explicitly bars U.S. state and federal courts from recognizing and enforcing foreign judgments unless the foreign nation's laws satisfies First Amendment and due process considerations afforded by the United States Constitution. The Act is designed to ensure that individuals and members of the media and entertainment industry be able to enjoy the same free speech and press rights abroad that they have in the U.S. Adopted to aid defamation defendants located in the United States from having to defend such suits brought by public officials or public figures in totalitarian countries, the first decision interpreting the act involved a judgment obtained in Canada against a public affairs blogger in Mississippi.
Mr. Doug Handshoe had published entries on Slabb.org alleging a link between the former President of Jefferson Parish, LA, who was indicted and plead guilty to bribery and theft, and two Canadian citizens, who owned a hotel in Nova Scotia, Canada. The blog included, among other allegedly offensive comments, that the two owners of Trout Point Lodge "had Champagne taste on a beer budget," and "worked as a unit to grift their way through life." The Canadian plaintiffs filed suit for defamation in Nova Scotia, alleging that Handshoe's blog injured their reputation, and they sought general and punitive damages.
The plaintiffs obtained a default judgment of approximately $427,000. Trout Point sought to enforce the judgment in Mississippi, and Handshoe argued that it was unenforceable under the SPEECH ACT as applied to Mississippi defamation law. Chief Judge Guirola of the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Mississippi ruled in favor of Handshoe, and Trout Point appealed.
The Fifth Circuit held that the judgment was unenforceable under the First Amendment and Mississippi law. The Court noted that "the SPEECH ACT provides that a domestic court 'shall not recognize or enforce a foreign judgment for defamation,' unless it satisfies both First Amendment and due process considerations." The Court continued:
A party may enforce a foreign defamation judgment in a domestic court if either (A) the law of the foreign forum . . . provides free-speech protection that is coextensive with relevant domestic law, or (B) the facts . . . are sufficient to establish a defamation claim under domestic law.
The Fifth Circuit interpreted the SPEECH Act as being designed to prohibit plaintiffs from filing defamation suits in those foreign jurisdictions "that do not provide the full extent of free-speech protections to authors and publishers that are available in the United States. . . .'" The Court noted that even though the comments in the blog were offensive, this alone could not sustain an action for defamation because Mississippi law requires plaintiffs to prove the statements are also false.
Trout Point provides future U.S. defendants, sued in other countries, the assurance that the SPPECH Act has not only been upheld but enforced to set aside a foreign judgment for defamation. As a result, the SPEECH Act and Trout Point are a substantial deterrent to libel tourism.

This post originally appeared on the Global Health Technologies Coalition (GHTC) blog on 4/30/14.
This post is part of our World Immunization Week blog series. Stay tuned for more blogs highlighting the benefits of immunization and the work Sabin is doing to support immunization programs worldwide.
By Ambassador Michael W. Marine, CEO of the Sabin Vaccine Institute
In a fitting way to kick off World Immunization Week, several hundred people gathered Friday, April 25th to celebrate significant achievements in vaccinology over the past two decades and to examine solutions for overcoming remaining hurdles at the Sabin Vaccine Institute's (Sabin) 20th Anniversary Scientific Symposium. Hosted at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in Washington, DC, it was an energized room filled with visionary leaders from humanitarian and health organizations, NGOs, pharmaceutical companies and academia.
Sabin President Dr. Peter Hotez opened the event by asking, "What do the next twenty years look like for product development and access to vaccine and medicines? What is the outlook for meeting ambitious global health objectives?"
PAHO Director Dr. Carissa Etienne then highlighted the remarkable successes in the Americas for the past 20 years. By this March, "17 countries and territories … had added the rotavirus vaccine to their vaccination schedules, 28 had (introduced) the pneumococcal vaccine and 20 the [HPV] vaccine." Country ownership is nearly complete, with "more than 95 percent of vaccines purchased with national funds." Still, PAHO member states are working to ensure that municipal vaccination coverage reaches 95 percent or higher everywhere.
Dr. Ciro de Quadros, Sabin's executive vice president, explained how Sabin "is guided by an unwavering belief: Lasting health solutions that benefit every person in a country can only truly be achieved when that nation supports health interventions out of its own budget; builds technical expertise; and maps its health priorities." He added that in addition to quickening the pace of country and regional adoption of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), "integration and cooperation are areas (where) we could all do better,"
Via videoconference, Dr. Julio Frenk, dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, shared reflections on the evolution of global health and vaccination. He urged partners to consider how resources could be allocated more efficiently, prioritizing spending where there is the greatest need and where it will have the greatest impact.
Dr. Seth Berkley, CEO of GAVI, explained its co-financing model, which "is about building ownership, building sustainability and ensuring advocacy." GAVI has notably "immunized 440,000,000 additional children and averted 6,000,000 future deaths."
Addressing vaccine research technologies, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health stressed "the incomparable effects of vaccinology." He shared some inadequacies of following natural immunity for diseases like HIV and influenza and how scientists are identifying new development techniques for vaccine-based solutions.
Adding to the day's excitement, Sabin's Dr. de Quadros received PAHO's highest honor, the Public Health Heroes of the Americas award. On behalf of PAHO, Dr. Etienne stated, "No single person has done more to extend the benefits of immunization in the Americas" than Dr. de Quadros, whose "vision, scientific acumen, undaunted courage, and boundless energy" played a central role in smallpox and polio eradication in the Americas, and the creation of PAHO's Revolving Fund. Dr. Etienne commented that Dr. de Quadros is a "force for good in the region and in the world;" we at Sabin who work with him each day couldn't agree more.
Dr. de Quadros then chaired a panel focused on how organizations are advancing the GVAP:
- Dr. Jon Andrus, deputy director of PAHO, recognized that capacity development and assistance with "making evidence-based decisions," for instance through PAHO's ProVac Initiative, are essential.
- Dr. Mickey Chopra, chief of health at UNICEF, underscoring its importance noted "the critical window we have on the GVAP … If we succeed now, the trajectory will be completely different than if we fail." Manufacturing capacity and technology transfers, along with sustainable financing, such as Sabin's Sustainable Immunization Financing program, will accelerate progress.
- Dr. Julie Gerberding, president of Merck Vaccines and representing the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, spoke about the challenges facing manufacturers, such as competing priorities and shrinking R&D bases. She urged we "collectively think about and solve for" these issues.
- Dr. Mahendra Suhardono, marketing director at Biofarma representing the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network, explained how the 40 manufacturers in this network are working to take action against many diseases.
- Dr. Lance Gordon, director for neglected infectious Diseases in the Global Health Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, commented on the Foundation's commitment to tackling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and spotlighted the recent conference in Paris where $240M was committed toward fulfilling the London Declaration.
Delivering a powerful video message, Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, stated, "countries must lead ... they deserve to have the first say about priorities." Despite a need to streamline and simplify programs, increase sustainable financing and help people understand the value of vaccines, "the future of immunization looks bright."
This was truly a memorable event, and we hope that through continued collaboration and the commitment of our diverse partners, collectively, we can realize lasting improvements. As Morton Hyman, Sabin's chairman, closed the symposium, he tasked us with asking ourselves, "how we can do better, how we can challenge the status quo and look at smarter, more collaborative, more efficient models to deliver the gift of good health to all people."
With 20 years of achievements behind us, Sabin looks forward to many years ahead filled with more success in reducing needless human suffering.

Egyptian Football
When people think of football, they don't usually think of the ancient Egyptians. However, the pharaohs of old actually enjoyed the game--carvings on temples show that Egypt football games were held often. But while these older games weren't played in exactly the same way as today's modern football, by the late 1800s, Egypt was routinely playing against British teams.
In 1882, the British occupied the area, and matches between the Egyptian teams and British teams were common. Student matches began in 1914 with games organized by the Al Ahly Sporting Club. These games were the first popular Egypt football games and helped spread interest in football to the rest of the country.
By 1921, football had become so popular that Captain Hussein Hijazi's idea of an Egyptian Football Association (EFA) became reality. This association was created in response to the 1920 Olympics. Hijazi wanted Egypt football players to be able to compete for the gold, but the country had no structured organization for the sport. Within a year, the EFA had laid out guidelines for Egyptian football clubs and created the Cup of Egyptian Excellent tournament.
Two years after its founding, the EFA was officially granted membership in the International Federation of Football (FIFA). This gave the EFA the ability to enter into FIFA international tournaments and the Olympics. Later, in 1957, the EFA officially became a member of the Confederation of African football organization.
Since joining FIFA and the Confederation, Egypt football has become even more popular, and national teams have competed in a number of different competitions. Egypt has sent a team to the African Cup of Nations, winning six times and hosting the championship four times. Egypt has twice gone to the FIFA World Cup tournament, participated in the World Military Cup (winning five times), and twice sent a team to the World Youth Cup, winning the bronze medal in 2001. The country hosted this tournament in 2009.
In 2009, the Egypt football team competed in the Confederations Cup, a tournament held in South Africa. This tournament is held every four years and is considered the second-largest football tournament in the world, outdone only by the FIFA World Cup. Egypt was placed in Group B along with Brazil, the U.S., and Italy. They defeated Italy but lost to the US and to Brazil in overtime. However, even though they lost, the Egyptian team was praised by FIFA for their performance against Brazil. Two players, Mohammad Homos and Mohammad Zeidan, were singled out for their performances in the games against Italy and Brazil, respectively. For fans that would like to relive the glory of the match against Brazil, we have a special opportunity.

Everyone's a critic on 'The Rotten Tomatoes Show'
Sign of the times in the '70s: two ink-stained newspaper movie critics – Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert – begin hosting a movie-review program on broadcast TV that consists of them showing movie clips and soberly talking to each other about things like the French New Wave.
Sign of the times in '09: two Internet-savvy comics – Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox – begin hosting an interactive movie-review program, "The Rotten Tomatoes Show," in conjunction with rottentomatoes.com, a Web site that aggregates major movie reviews and gives a numeric score to each film.
Launching this week on Current, the pop-culture cable channel that utilizes viewer-generated content, the show features the hosts cracking jokes and viewers uploading their video critiques or texting three-word reviews. The French New Wave probably won't come up very often.
"When Siskel and Ebert were on TV, people looked to them and respected them. There isn't anyone like that anymore and Rotten Tomatoes exists because there is no definitive critic," says Erlich, who also appears on Current's mock-news show, "InfoMania."
"We want to really capture the voice of everyone out there who's going to movies – from critics to normal moviegoers to comedians."
The idea for the weekly, half-hour series was hatched by Current executives who approached Rotten Tomatoes nine months ago.
"They came to us with the idea of a branded show," says Shannon Ludovissy, RT's vice-president and general manager. "It felt like the perfect fit for our product and our brand."
While "The Rotten Tomatoes Show" might be rife with attitude and snark, Erlich and Ludovissy say they're quite serious about film.
"My Netflix queue is five or six screens long," says Erlich, who has also done stints in an improv group and worked in the games/interactive division of a talent agency.
"I grew up where movies played a special role in my life – 'Ghostbusters,' 'Real Genius.' Whenever I was sick, I'd watch 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and I'd feel better.
"As things progressed, I started to take a more critical eye … I always loved talking about movies and I always do talk about movies."
For example, Erlich's still angry that "Gran Torino" ("I wanted to kill myself every five minutes") and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" got so much acclaim.
"We're going to be very honest, brutally honest," he says.
Ludovissy says the intention of the show isn't to try to put newspaper movie critics out of work.
"We definitely think that the critics' point of view is really important and that, at Rotten Tomatoes, that's what we're all about," he explains.
"But we understand it's a new world and users are interested in what other users think. We have an active community who aren't shy about saying what they think."

Today marks the beginning of the 150th anniversary of one of the most seminal events in American history, the Battle of Gettysburg. It raged over three days from July 1-3 in southern Pennsylvania. It ended with a defeat of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and signaled the beginning of the end of the Civil War, the War Between the States for those of you who believe that the South legally succeeded or War of Northern Aggression for the unreconstructed among you. This week I will commemorate this battle and use an event from each day of the engagement as a starting point for a discussion of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance.
Lee had not intended to fight at Gettysburg but did so largely because of the actions of his cavalry commander, General Jeb Stuart. Stuart was given orders to reconnoiter behind Union lines if he did not meet stout resistance. But Stuart's key responsibility was to report Union troop movements to Lee. Stuart did meet such resistance from General Winfield Scott Hancock's II Corps and was forced to swing some 60 miles around the Union troops. This effectively cut him off from Lee and took away his ability to report Union troop movements to Lee. One of the reasons that Lee ordered his men to gather at Gettysburg on July 1 was that he did not know the size of the Union force he was facing, eventually totaling over 91,000 men, because of this lack of intelligence. When Stuart finally arrived in Lee's camp, late on the afternoon of July 2, Lee was reported to have said, "General Stuart, where have you been? I have not heard a word from you for days, and you the eyes and ears of my army." According to another report, he simply said "Well, General Stuart, here you are at last." In other words, Lee was not able to assess the risk he was facing and made a decision which put his Army at risk.
At the recent Corruption and Compliance Asia Congress 2013, there was a presentation by Derek Jackson, Director of GRC Asia Limited, in which he discussed leveraging corruption risk assessment data for effective compliance resourcing strategies. A large part of his discussion centered on the initiative by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to create principles and generic guidelines on risk management. This has been formalized in an initiative, denominated ISO 31000, which is designed provide a universally recognized calculus for compliance practitioners and companies employing risk management processes.
According to Jackson, one of the more interesting changes attempted in ISO 31000 is the modification in how risk is conceptualized. The definition of "risk" is no longer "chance or probability of loss", but "the effect of uncertainty on objectives" … thus causing the word "risk" to refer to positive possibilities as well as negative ones. This change should allow a wider use of a risk assessment to evaluate a wider variety of situations.
Jackson said that the ISO 31000 risk management process is a four step progression. It all begins by establishing the context of your risk. According to ISO 31000, to establish the context means: "to define the external and internal parameters that organisations must consider when they manage risk." To do so, the following steps are suggested: (a) define the scope of your risk management program, (b) formulate your risk management policy and, finally, (c) establish your risk criteria. Setting the context involves taking into account your business goals and capabilities as well as external factors, such as the changing legal environment and shifting social standards. In other words, you need to set the context to identify where your risks come from.
The next step is risk identification, which Jackson said was the process of determining risks that could potentially prevent the program, enterprise, or investment from achieving its objectives. It includes documenting and communicating the concern. He used this first step as a starting point for a discussion of several different types of risks which were not properly assessed. He used the Hewlett-Packard (HP) purchase of Autonomy as an example of strategy risk. He also detailed the Barings Bank implosion for the lack of recognizing process risk, the demise of Arthur Anderson for reputational risk, financial risk regarding Enron and WorldCom for fraud risk. Jackson emphasized that risk identification is an iterative process; in other words as the risk assessment progresses, more information will be gained and the risk statement will be adjusted to reflect the current understanding. New risks will be identified as the risk assessment progresses through the life cycle.
The next step is the risk analysis. Jackson said that risk analysis can be generally defined as a "process that is used to understand the nature, sources, and causes of the risks that you have identified and to estimate the level of risk. It is also used to study impacts and consequences and to examine the controls that currently exist. How detailed your risk analysis ought to be will depend upon the risk, the purpose of the analysis, the information you have, and the resources available." Jackson emphasized that ISO 31000 does not create a tool for the creation of burdensome reporting on risk. Where possible, a company should use and leverage information that is already captured within the normal course of business operations and take the standard ties of human and cultural factors of the business into account.
The fourth step is the assessment or evaluation of the risk. Jackson said that this is the process used to compare risk analysis results with risk criteria in order to determine whether or not a specified level of risk is acceptable or tolerable. Risk evaluation then involves making a decision about the level of risk and the priority for attention through the application of the criteria developed when the context was established.
After the risk is identified, it should be managed or, in ISO 31000 parlance, treated. Risks are treated through controls, which are called risk controls. Jackson noted that ISO 31000 has an appendix of control steps. They involve selecting and implementing one or more treatment options. Once a risk treatment has been implemented, it becomes a control or it modifies your existing controls. They are listed as follows:
a) Avoiding the risk by deciding not to start or continue with the activity that gives rise to the risk;
b) Taking or increasing the risk in order to pursue an opportunity;
c) Removing the risk source;
d) Changing the likelihood;
e) Changing the consequences;
f) Sharing the risk with another party or parties (including contracts and risk ?nancing); and
g) Retaining the risk by informed decision.
Jackson concluded his remarks by noting that a company designs or revises its management system to suit its business processes, structure, risk pro?le and policies, and this is the purpose of its risk management plan. Large or complex organizations may require a hierarchy of risk management plans but there should always be an overall plan for the organization that describes the broad strategies to be utilized. This sounds quite a bit like the Department of Justice (DOJ)/Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) FCPA Guidance language which says that a company should assess its risk and manage its risk to create an effective FCPA compliance program.
So what about Jeb Stuart and his ill-fated romp around the Union lines? Many historians have argued it was one of the key factors which led to the Battle of Gettysburg because Lee was denuded of his 'eyes and ears' by Stuart's mis-adventures. If this interpretation is correct, it surely shows the power of the ability to properly assess a risk or in General Robert E. Lee's case, not having the ability to properly assess a risk may have led to the end of the Confederacy.

It was the image of a reluctant four-year-old girl being fed a beefburger by her overenthusiastic dad, the hapless agriculture minister John Gummer, that defined the BSE scandal in the 1990s. His clumsy attempt to reassure a sceptical nation about the safety of beef backfired spectacularly when the government was eventually forced to admit what scientists had long warned – that the food supply was contaminated.
The BSE scandal and the inquiry it spawned marked a watershed. The spectre of the fatal brain disease CJD spread by BSE-infected meat almost destroyed the beef industry, and led to the splitting of the Ministry of Agriculture with the intention of putting clear blue water between food producers – the farmers – and consumers. Thus was the Food Standards Agency born.
How low its profile has since sunk. We thought we knew what was in our food; we were wrong. There may be no risk to health – or so we are assured – from the latest revelations about horse meat found in ready meals, burgers and other processed foods – even though in some cases it constituted as much as 100 per cent of products labelled "beef".
But that is not the point. The measures put in place to guarantee the integrity of the food supply post-BSE were designed to bolster public trust. That trust is now blown apart, sacrificed by an industry that has put profit before safety. It will not be simple to rebuild.
One innovation following BSE was the requirement that every cow in the UK, whether male or female, dairy or beef, should have its own passport, allowing its parentage and movements throughout its life to be traced. The aim was to prevent "rogue" animals carrying potential infections entering the country undetected.
In the light of this week's revelations, that now looks like shutting the stable door while leaving the farm gate wide open. It is not rogue cattle entering the UK we need to fear but rogue consignments of meat imported from distant nations with labels that do not describe accurately what they are.
There is a simple principle that underpins public trust in the food supply. It is that what is on the label must represent correctly what is in the product. That applies whatever its cost or nature. We thought, after BSE, that we had a system in which the source of our food could be traced. But with the creation by the giant food conglomerates of a multitude of subsidiary companies and outsourced contracts, we have lost that traceability.
When the truth is uncovered about exactly what happened and how, we will have a clearer idea of what remedial action is needed. But the deception we already know about surely amounts to fraud, so providing grounds for prosecution. And when it is time for the reckoning, the force of the law must not be applied only to the little guys and the middle men. The food giants responsible for buying in these substandard and potentially dangerous products must face legal redress, too.
This episode also contains important lessons for the Coalition, which has hitherto adopted a softly-softly approach to negotiations with the food industry over urgently needed changes in the nation's diet. Ministers have defended their preference for voluntary agreements – over traffic-light labelling and cuts in sugar content of fizzy drinks – on the grounds that they achieve more than the blunt instrument of the law. Health groups have protested that the agreements promise more than they deliver and the industry is effectively unchecked. The horse‑meat saga should persuade ministers to think again, hard.

I'm only one day into a long weekend's snowboarding and I can't sit down. I'm not bruised, or at least not much, but euphoric. Conquering the slopes after a four-year hiatus is a triumph. But my elation is mainly fuelled by smug satisfaction – the kind that comes from proving my spouse wrong. No amount of debate or sulky silences had convinced my husband that taking a three-year-old skiing would be anything other than an exercise in masochism. So I'd set out as a solo-travelling parent, with wishes of "good luck" rather than "have a good holiday".
But luck wasn't needed. Alpbach, a teeny resort in the Austrian Tyrol, an hour from Innsbruck, is a dead cert for a ski holiday with a small person in tow. With its little Lutheran church, narrow winding roads and thick pine forests, this is a model Alpine village. Uniform, timbered buildings come with over-hanging eves and balconies dressed with snow in the winter and geraniums in summer. It's easy to see why conservation-minded Alpbach has been named prettiest village in the Alps in national polls.
Our hotel looks like it was made out of white icing-sugar-dusted gingerbread and elicits an "ooooh, pretty" from my pre-schooler, Ella. We're staying at the Galtenberg, a member of Kinderhotels, an organisation comprised of 33 independent Alpine hotels that meet its high childcare standards. Given this child-centric focus, I'm surprised to find a complete lack of primary colours and plastic toys – instead there's a neat lobby bar surrounded by chunky wooden tables, smart leather seats and a couple of cowhides draped here and there to complete the "boutique" look.
But a tour of the premises reveals a spacious spa, with saunas and an indoor-outdoor pool overlooked by the slopes – all open to children. Childcare is free – up to 56 hours a week (usually a hefty extra at ski hotels) and centres on a large crèche with soft-play area, ball pit, craft tables, and a team of multi-lingual nannies.
The local ski school teaches children from three upwards, and the nursery slope is clumping distance from the hotel's boot-room. Some Kinderhotels have recently introduced "Nappy Ski Courses" for children as young as two.
Austria's lack of high-altitude, linked ski resorts can make it a winner with young families seeking small villages with lifts and facilities on the doorstep. Kit-fitting takes half an hour in a quiet rental shop and I only have to lug board, skis, poles and helmets a few hundred yards back to the hotel. There are not enough miles of piste here to satisfy keen wintersporters, but for me, a rusty, intermediate boarder, there's plenty. The resort tops out at 2,100 metres, but with 70 per cent snow-cannon coverage there's enough white stuff around.
Staff at Schischule Alpbach are led by Sepp Margreiter, a former ski racer who now zips around the slopes in a "sit-ski" after breaking his spine in a logging accident. Sepp's school has taught generations of British skiers. The resort has had strong connections with the UK since the 1950s, when a British colonel stumbled across its postcard-perfect slopes while on leave from Germany. It became a favourite for regimental exercises and a training ground for British Junior Alpine Skiing.
Ella's ski-school nerves are almost instantly calmed by her avuncular instructor, a limber British expat in his 60s, who all the local children call "opa" (granddad). I leave her "making pizzas" with her skis (a cute way to teach the triangular snowplough shape) and head off into the sunny, hay-scented mountains. There are 100 working farms in Alpbach – the same number as a century ago. Most of the ski instructors spend summer tending their cows and winter herding tourists.
Under the patient watch of instructor Tomas Margreiter (Sepp's son), I spend the mornings out to pasture on wide blue runs, before navigating long reds that go from the top of the Wiedersberger Horn into Alpbach Valley. Here I break for lunch with Ella, out of choice rather than necessity – parents don't have to be present. She's hopped-up on Gummy Bears (the instructors' bait of choice) and raring to go, so we cram in another couple of hours before school's out and we head to the pool.
By the end of each day, Ella totted up five hours on the nursery slopes, an hour in the pool and she still insisted on going to the kid's club before dinner. Which left me, unbelievably, with time for a pre-prandial sauna. Dinner was equally civilised, with venison, wild boar and excellent local cheese served in the hotel's soft-lit, grown-up restaurant. Children can eat in the kid's club but most parents prefer to dine en-famille, or, as we do by the end of the week, as a group of families who've palled up at ski school.
It couldn't be more convivial. It's easy to see why Alpbach has so many repeat visitors, returning year after year to this little home-from-home in the Alps. Inevitably, plans have been mooted to lift-link Alpbach with resorts in the neighbouring Wildschönau Valley. Many locals believe this won't increase trade but just through traffic. The first road along Alpbach Valley wasn't built until 1926 and this relative isolation bred Alpbach's easy, small-town charm. Long may it remain off the beaten piste.

How the Twelve Animal Archetypes Will Fare in the Year of the Wood RamOX - |1901 |1913 |1925 |1937 |1949 |1961 |1973 |1985 | 1997 | 2009 |This is not a year to be head strong in much of any area. One of the easiest ways to express the attitude to adopt this year is to "Let it flow!". Your life will be all the better for it if you can see this part of the big picture early as in, now! You'll probably want to keep an extra rein on your finances, wallet and spending this year but the conservative attitude will help you in the years to come. It would be a great time to begin to work with some artistic endeavors for those Oxen who are so inclined, still others will find a great benefit to using physical energies to rid themselves of stress. You'll be glad you did as you face the year with some upcoming stresses and challenges. Just how much these effect you will be something that you can choose to the degree that you have outlets that help keep things in perspective. Remember this year's over all theme is one of conservatism. In the love department things will go fairly smoothly if already attached. If foot loose and fancy free or single, you might find that a rat or rooster strikes your fancy. If so again take a slow approach, doing so will make it all worth while about mid year when you learn a bit more. The cream will rise to the top, so to speak, and you will know if this is the right person for you! Though you will find a temptation to gamble some in love, don't do it in the monetary areas of your life |
TIGER - |1902 |1914 |1926 |1938 |1950 |1962 |1974 |1986 | 1998 | 2010 | The Goat year will be a particularly entertaining year for the bold Tigers of our Universe. You will find yourself willing to perform be it in your home, for the public at large or in a small group of favored friends. No one will seem to mind this yearning in you though, they will be quite pleased to see you happy and shining in the lime light. Though at times the pace of life will seem a bit slow to you, keep in mind that you are attracting a lot of admirers this year and those connections will be very fruitful for quite some time. For as much fun as this will be do not forget to exercise some caution in terms of socializing too much with the same confining group. This year is one for broadening your horizons. If you are not the one doing the entertaining be sure to take in some nice entertainment to see, experience, or enjoy this year. The world is the stage that will keep you ever enthused when you might have a tendency to feel a bit down. Social invitations to various events including artistic and musical ones will abound this year. Do remember to schedule some quiet time on the calendar as well as there will be points you want to try to rejuvenate the batteries of energy for the next event. Financially, do not be too terribly overly indulgent to your friends, family, and loved ones, or even to yourself. You'll be one of the few who watches the economy over the next year and benefit from the observations you make, and the actions you take. |
RABBIT/CAT - |1903 |1915 |1927 |1939 |1951 |1963 |1975 |1987 | 1999 | 2011 | This year of the Water Goat is one that will be memorable for many to come. Part of the reason is the overall compatibility that a Rabbit-Cat has with the Goat, there is just a nice exchange and over all happy state of affairs with the two combined energies. Thus the year itself will be a very nice one. There could be a few bumps in the road in late May but you will bounce back and not even give them much of a second thought as compared to previous times when you tended to dwell on things too often. It will also be a nice year for your sensitive nature to enjoy expanding spiritual horizons, take on a new quest, read some interesting, thought provoking literature and help ponder the meaning of life. Some of you will even enjoy keeping a journal or diary about such thoughts and ideas which could not only help you sort some things out but could very well be interesting to the public at large later on. You should be careful with money this year, one can never be too certain if the "rainy day" one wondered about is just around the corner. Check your interest bearing accounts and make sure they are working for you as well as they could be. |
DRAGON - |1904 |1916 |1928 |1940 |1952 |1964 |1976 |1988 | 2000 | 2012 | A Water Ram year is just what the doctor ordered for our Dragon friends, it will be a year full of energy and interests that tingle the mind. You'll find content in areas that you have long sought to find. An all important monkey will be a part of the lifein which you find much happiness in this year. That monkey could be a family member, a spouse or a child in your life or even a new found friend who understands you upon first sight. For it is the Dragon's great secret that all they really crave is a little understanding. What on earth can be wrong with that? If only it would pop into the minds of those close to a Dragon it would help, so if you ARE in fact close to a Dragon, show them a bit of extra attention, a pat on the head now and then and you'll find the harmony between you just abounds! Dragons seem to want to be a bit of a home body this year finding all kinds of creature comforts very inviting. Be sure to make any home comforts those that are within your budget and you'll shine with pride at the end of the year to see what a nice job you've done as you check over your finances. If there is a will there is a way! Dragon's know that! |
SNAKE - |1905 |1917 |1929 |1941 |1953 |1965 |1977 |1989 | 2001 | 2013 | One of the happiest things a Snake can find in the Year of the Water Goat is that there are a few, mind you a very few things that won't be in a constant state of change this year. The security you find in the constants energies around you will be particularly important this year because at times, circumstances will feel as if you have taken a fast freight train. There is nothing like the ongoing change of the Universe so be prepared now to need a seat belt for life at least the first three-quarters of this year. You'll be smirking as the rest of the world whizzes by if you do attend to some preparation before hand. Use your intuition as to what areas in your life this might entail but you can be sure that much of it will be the realm of relationships, ALL kinds of relationships. You'll also be much sought after with your delightful kind of fun at large parties. Know that many of your famous talents will simple be in DEMAND! Enjoy it while it lasts it's not every day that this kind of magnetism comes about, you're in for a lot of happy occasions. Dogs and Rats will be important to you this year so make sure you know what Asian Astrological sign those around you are. |
HORSE - |1906 |1918 |1930 |1942 |1954 |1966 |1978 |1990 | 2004 | 2014 | After such a wild and romping ride this last year in your name sake, the year of the Horse, you will be particularly glad to see things slow a bit and know your finish at the gate is at long last a reality. The upcoming respite of a more quiet energy this year is much welcomed by many a horse though as one surely can't run the Kentucky Derby every day. What a whirl wind those races were this last year. The calming energy around you will do you good this year and you'll find that communications with those you care about are somewhat slower paced than they have been yet a very soothing influence. Family relationships are highlighted and very happy all the way around. For some ready to slow things to a nice domestic pace, the year is particularly highlighted for marriages for those who are single and a new chance at falling in love all over again for those who are already partnered. A nice over all year for love and romance, you'll find a lot of security in those thoughts as you will surely notice the solidifying of many ideals you have sought for a long time in long term relationships. Yes at long last the race is over, delightfully so for those horses who were over run! You are happiest with a Goat, Tiger or Dog. |
GOAT or RAM - |1907 |1919 |1931 |1943 |1955 |1967 |1979 |1991 | 2004 | 2015 | OK Ram, this is YOUR year, the one you have waited for but are you ready? Well let's take a look at a few clues. For starters there is not much that is unanswered this year in the realm of wishes, whether it be the job that you dreamed of, the creativity you waited to see stimulated again or the opportunities that will come your way left and right. What a nice time this will be for the most part. Don't let yourself get over worked, plan your rest stops and times of recuperation and you'll make the energy you usually have work ten fold of what has it has been for the past few years. You might want to take a look at new ideas for your creative part of your soul as this is the kind of year, in fact, your VERY OWN that helps unearth previously hidden talents. Romance and money should be plentiful this year but don't fall for any pyramid schemes. You'll be so happy that you could be a tad too trusting now and then, so remain alert about pie in the sky dreams. Money is usually built one increment at a time. Many Goats will find the potential for relocation possible this year as some will be swept away in moves across large areas as the dream job's doors open faster than you can "resume". Are you prepared? Good I thought so. . You should be with someone from a similar family background, preferably a Horse, Rabbit or Pig. |
MONKEY - |1908 |1920 |1932 |1944 |1956 |1968 |1980 |1992 | 2004 | 2016 | The first words I'd mention to a monkey this year are to sloooow down a bit. Financially you've been on a climb that is likely to continue but there is no point being in a credit counseling session with your banker by pushing things to far. Monkey's are known to be rather spontaneous in nature but add this to a dollar and well...It's just best to watch that part of yourself this year and you'll come out on top. Your Dragon friend are your favorites most this year, they seem to anticipate your every whim and intuitively know your next move. You find you are glad to have them around so that there is someone safe to confide in and entertain at the same time. There are probably a few short trips in the calendar or soon to happen this year, enjoy them and be ready to be your spontaneous self. Family and partnership matters are highlighted some but in a very positive way. Not a bad life at all, is it? Your attraction is so strong at times this year, that you'll want to watch your flirting so as not to lead anyone in to thinking you are interested when in fact you are just being your playful self! |
ROOSTER - |1909 |1921 |1933 |1945 |1957 |1969 |1981 |1993 | 2005 | 2017 | The almighty Rooster has some books to close out as this Asian New Year of the Goat begins, whether it be an old friendship that must be set aside or some financial matters that you have been avoiding. Clear the air quickly in these matters and you'll be off to a good start. If not, and you continue to delay these, there could be some energy around you that is very draining. So make the list, and try to have the worst of it in order before early Spring, then most of the rest of the year will fall naturally in to place. You are going to have to continue to watch your diet at times because pressures can sometimes lead to overindulging in the food department for you. Try to make sure of a sensible diet and you can start with making sure you are very keen on the idea of plenty of good fruit and veggies stocked full time and ready to go for this sticky fingers who would do better with a carrot or two than three chocolate marshmallow bars. There is something about a Rooster and sugar. Did you ever notice that? As well you'll want to be ever faithful in your health check ups this year, it will set the pace for good habits in the years to come and those are important. A lot of Roosters live long lives, so early planning is always a good thing when one has been gifted in the area of longevity. |
DOG - |1910 |1922 |1934 |1946 |1958 |1970 |1982 |1994 | 2006 | 2018 | In the Year of the Ram a Dog has to have a friend or two and you are such a social creature that you will be glad there are plenty around for fulfillment this year. Contentment is just the best word to describe your happy family atmosphere with impromptu occasions that make memories for quite some time. Some of you will be curious to see when your own family can be planned for this life time, be patient. If this is not the precise year that suspicious time, is will be very soon. It seems family ties are becoming quite important to you but it's not as if you were a slacker about these thoughts prior to now. The highlight of these thoughts is just ever more constant on your mind. Pets are another area that will bring a lot of happiness to you this year, so make sure you are being the best human you can be to them for all the faithful love that they bring your way. You may actually end up adopting a few more than is easy to manage so keep in mind that there are other friends you have who are equally as warmed by the big brown eyes of those puppies! |
PIG - |1911 |1923 |1935 |1947 |1959 |1971 |1983 |1995 | 2007 | 2019 | The year of the Goat is a fairly good one for your financial picture but remain cautiously optimistic until we get through the end of the Summer, just to be safe. Keep the commitment you made to yourself about that savings plan and stick to it, even if you have to have funds taken out for you by your accountant or bank. Sometimes you have a way of rationalizing that things will take care of themselves financially and they can, long as you use some free will. A few outdoor trips or gatherings are in store for you and the fresh air aspects of these will be quite invigorating. That camping trip, complete with outdoor cooking might be just what you need to bring back some happy childhood memories and an inexpensive get-a-way at the same time. A Goat could steal your heart if you are not looking so always be prepared to find romance in a friend that has long been in your life. Your partners if already involved will be extra responsive to you. All you have to do is make your desires and needs known, within reason of course. This is a comfortable year for you without a roller coaster and much needed sentiments and thoughts of the feelings of your own security will brighten many a day for you |
RAT - |1900 |1912 |1924 |1936 |1948 |1960 |1972 |1984 | 1996 | 2008 | The rat is but another sign who will benefit from a long overdue creative streak this year. At long last the faucet of ideas and inspiration has just been turned on, so get the paints, get the ink for the printer cartridge, get the craft store goodies ready to roll. You are about to find the first energy you've had in this area for a long time. Congratulations, this will be a very enjoyable year because of these interests and one that you feel quite emotionally stable from in learning to direct and enjoy art and creativity more than you have addressed it in the recent past. Some of you will find nice times with another rat. Perhaps they are the one you have longed for, for some time. If this is the case remember your impetuous self should not take over, you should find a way to be very patient with this kind of thing until you feel out the ropes again. After all most people don't bow out of the potential for romance for so long and there have been a few changes in the world. Right? Make sure the family attends to spiritual matters to what ever degree you can gently guide them. Some are a bit off track and need to be aware they are making material items too significant in their lives, they should follow a better example, like you! |

The Timelord is apparently set to get a huge shock when Doctor Who returns this spring - when he discovers he's a dad.
The Doctor, played by 36-year-old David Tennant, is left stunned after he lands on Earth and learns he has a daughter, reports the Daily Star.
But, as with all the sci-fi hit's best storylines, there's a twist and the Doctor finds out the girl has been made by aliens, who sneakily took some of his DNA without him knowing.
The Timelord's daughter is apparently played by 23-year-old Georgia Moffett, who also happens to be the real life daughter of former Doctor Who star Peter Davison, 56.
A source was quoted as saying: "It's an amazing signing!"
More incredible storylines have apparently been concocted for the new series, including a showdown with the Daleks and their evil creator Davros.
Meanwhile, Catherine Tate is set to reprise her role as Donna, the runaway bride, and will star as The Doctor's companion throughout the new series.
This story is at thisisnottingham.co.uk.
Wow! How cool to have Peter Davison's daughter playing the Doctor's daughter! This sounds great!!!

Spawn (1997)
3 trivia entries
Directed by: Mark A.Z. Dippe
Starring: John Leguizamo, Martin Sheen, Michael Jai White, Theresa Randle
Vote on more movies at The Big Fat List
Trivia: At the dinner ceremony where Spawn attacks Wynn and kills Church, you can see a red-headed woman in a blue gown walking among the patrons in the beginning of the scene. The camera focuses on her briefly, but for a reason - look at her earrings. They are Spawn insignia. This is a reference to the angel Hellspawn hunter Angela, who wears those same insignia in the comics as trophies of her victories over previous Hellspawn. Very clever reference.
Trivia: In the scene where the clown is disguised as Wanda Simmons and Jason Wynn kills her in front of Spawn. After Clown looks like himself again he tell spawn that he hoped that Spawn would have killed Jason and start the apocalypse now and this was said right in front of Jason. Apocalypse now is a movie starring Martin Sheen who played Jason Wynn in Spawn.
Trivia: At the end of the movie there is a shot of two detectives leaving Wanda and Terry's house. They have a distinct resemblance to Sam and Twitch, from the comic books.

During a recent walk in Greenwood Cemetery, Owen Sound, I found this monument. The sketches on the stone reflect their interest. They obviously enjoyed hitting the road on travels. Look at the sketch in the centre. It is a collage of grain, dice and musical notes. The flowers are reflecting on to the stone.
Shirley was the big girl next door when I was little and living on the east side of town.

Crashed my E30 like a tool (R3V thread)
Has anyone been following this?
http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=286107 Got enough coverage that Jalopnik blogged about it... http://jalopnik.com/im-trina-kill-da...r-fo-481107190 :D |
(shaking head) takes all kinds. Definitely speeding -unlike his story points out. takes a lot to blow out tires over a speed bump-hence the term "speed bump" LOL!! then careens of a MOTHER sized bolder only to take out the house...TOOL! luckily no one was hurt...well, except for pride maybe and some brick..lol
I cringed when I saw the thread title and your name!
It's a hilarious thread but I wish someone quoted his first post so I could read his version! Between this thread and his "Trina puta S54 in mah car" thread he is quickly becoming a r3v legend. |
Lol cliffs? I only made it to page 20.
Looks like they found the house from the looks of the sigs. |
Cliffs is as follows:
I assume the guy was booking down the street at 80+km/h, there was a left hand bend with a speed hump (different than a speed bump), car gets air/loose, back end kicks right, he over corrects and it sends him off into the house... somehow missing the massive rock on the front lawn. He gets the bright idea to post a thread on R3V with a picture for lolz saying that he was drifting hit a speed bump and popped two tires which caused him to go off and hit this house. The story doesn't add up and people start asking questions, so he takes the post down. Then in classic internet fashion they CSI the shit out of the dude and his story. They find out who he is, and where the house is located. Then they send the owners of the house a T-Shirt and Pizza... http://i.imgur.com/JtudEGxl.jpg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oHcjgYw.jpg |
lol was a good read. People on r3v have waaaay too much time on their hands *drink*
That's hilarious ! I want a t-shirt.
There is a group buy.

Группа друзей в количестве 10 человек приехали ознакомиться с достопримечательностями Лондона.
Полный набор посуды для питания.
Быстрая связь с центром города.
Горячая и холодная вода.
Изолированные комнаты.
Единственный минус, как и предупреждал хозяин дома, один на всех душ(ванная).
Оцениваем проживание в апартаментах как отличное.
Good location close to the underground District line. Not the best standard but clean. Good wifi. No music or TV but we had own loudspeaker so no probs there. Smaller in reality than it looks at the pictures. Over all OK.
It's was very a nice place to stay. It's very close to bus or tube stations, and it's easy to discover the city from there. On the street beside the apartment you can find a lot of place to eat or to buy food, that you can cook on the kitchen that a it's properly furnished. The apartment offer anything you need for a cheap stay, it's not luxury but complete. We found it clean and comfortable and the Hester was very nice even we don't had the chance to meet she in person.
We had a good stay in cheaplondonstay. The apartment was close to the subway and grocery store, so you can cook your self. The apartment was clean and we did not miss anything.
Great house for 9 people at that price! Quite central, good tube and bus connections and several local shops and eating options. OK rooms, will recommend more focus on the self-clean policy (we got a bit of a surprise at 10 pm the day before departure and check-out at 10 am!). Will definitely use Wimdu again.
We rented the house for four days with seven persons. The house was very clean and had enough space for all of us. We enjoyed the central location of the house. The buses stop in front of the door and the underground is only a 5-minute walk away.
Given the competitive price for our stay, the quality of the house was perfect. It is not the most modern accomodation, but everything you need is there.
We were nine people who have taken accommodation in May 2013 with Hester. Since we have not taken Hetser we had to pay no deposit. The accommodation was perfect for the competitive price. It's just one bathroom, but at the proper classification that is not a problem. Should only at the tables in the living room chair to be available for all people, not just currently seven units on site. It is also good that a heater is present, you can turn on. We would book this hotel again at any time when we are in London.
Very spacious, clean and cheap apartment for London.
Very friendly landlady.
Short routes to London City.
Good for low budget eating in East End.
Tip for Breakfast: Cafe 338 for £ 5 English Breakfast with good Coffee
Everything you need is here.
Got a nice time with my family in London.
I will come back.

Approval Status
Approved April 2003
Treatment for
Fabry Disease
Fabrazyme is a recombinant form of human alpha-galactosidase A, which is administered intravenously to the patient in order to replace the deficient enzyme and initiate the breakdown of stored lipids.
Fabrazyme is intended for intravenous infusion. The recommended dosage of Fabrazyme is 1.0 mg/kg body weight infused every 2 weeks as an IV.
FDA approval of Fabrazyme was based on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational, multicenter study of 58 Fabry subjects, ages 16 to 61 years, all naïve to enzyme replacement therapy. The primary efficacy endpoint of GL-3 inclusions in renal interstitial capillary endothelial cells, was assessed by light microscopy and was graded on an inclusion severity score ranging from 0 (normal or near normal) to 3 (severe inclusions).
A GL-3 inclusion score of zero was achieved in 20 of 29 (69%) subjects treated with Fabrazyme compared to zero of 29 treated with placebo.
All 58 subjects in the randomized study participated in an open-label extension study of Fabrazyme at 1.0 mg/kg every two weeks indefinitely. At the end of six months of open-label treatment, most patients achieved a GL-3 inclusion score of 0 in capillary endothelium. GL-3 was decreased to normal or near normal levels in mesangial cells, glomerular capillary endothelium, interstitial cells and non-capillary endothelium. GL-3 deposition was still present in vascular smooth muscle cells, tubular epithelium and podocytes, at variably reduced levels. Plasma GL-3 levels were reduced to levels below the limit of detection and remained so up to 18 months of treatment.
All subjects were pretreated with acetaminophen and an antihistamine to decrease or prevent infusion associated reactions. Oral steroids were an additional option to the pretreatment regimen for patients who exhibited severe or recurrent infusion reactions.
Adverse events associated with the use of Fabrazyme may include (but are not limited to) the following:
Fabrazyme is recombinant human á-galactosidase A enzyme with the same amino acid sequence as the native enzyme. Purified agalsidase beta is a homodimeric glycoprotein. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a Chinese Hamster Ovary mammalian cell expression
Fabrazyme is intended to provide an exogenous source of a-galactosidase A in Fabry disease subjects. Preclinical and clinical studies evaluating a limited number of cell types indicated that Fabrazyme would catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosphingolipids including GL-3.
