My daughter V is two-years-old and was conceived in glorious poetry and has since impressed us with her perfect timing across all spectrums from conception and delivery to comedic expressions and cries that rescue us from bad company. Her brother on the other hand, is off to a rough start pushing two weeks past his due date and requiring his mother to make some difficult decisions in regards to induction.
My Louisiana care-provider is legally bound to induce women once they hit their 42 week mark. We don't have a great rapport because I've only known him two weeks. I moved to Louisiana at 36 weeks (a month before my due date) and had originally chosen a certified nurse mid-wife for my care, but literally on my due date I chose to switch care-providers because she terrified me (will write more on that later). My new OB is part of the same group of physicians and was likely suspicious of my reasons to change care providers so late in the game. I'm sure he was wondering if I would be a high maintenance shrew, obstinate to his recommendations. We had a conversation about expectations of care, and he said at our original meeting, "if you're not willing to be induced at 42 weeks, then I don't think we're the right match."
And so here I am, at 42 weeks with no baby and I am seeing my natural birth plan disappear. My emotions are everywhere, and also numb.
V had great timing, but I went into labor with her completely inexperienced, ignorant and unprepared. After accepting an epidural there were complications that came up that would have been preventable if I were mobile, and we ended up doing an emergency c-section that was quite traumatic for me. I remember feeling an inch away from death. I remember being exhausted and freezing and completely paralyzed from the neck down, shivering violently and waiting several minutes for someone to notice and put heating pads on me because I was too tired to speak and make requests for myself. I remember not really caring when V was finally born. I was profoundly numbed.
For my son I have done my homework. I am equipped to manage pain and remain mobile. I know what different chemicals do and what different positions do and I have hired an excellent doula and spent hundreds of hours by now reading, consulting, stretching, exercising, and otherwise preparing for this birth.
Once we hit 40 weeks I did a number of things to try to naturally induce, including: walking (6 miles in one day just two days ago), acupuncture, moxabustion, Qi-gong, sex, nipple stimulation, spicy food, pedicures, enema, castor oil, foot reflexology, evening primrose oil, pineapples, oregano/basil, and of course, visualization. All of those things have seemingly assisted in my dilation (i'm now at 4 cm with a "very thin" cervix), but still the doctor wants me to induce. He feels "up against a wall" legally.
We have to move out of our temporary housing in New Orleans to a small town in SW Louisiana (a 4 hour drive) as soon as possible because R starts a new job July 1st. Ideally we'd be there yesterday to start training, but alas I'm still pregnant and we really can't switch care-providers now. I am done being pregnant. I want the baby out and I want to begin our new life in our new town. My mother in law is here all the way from Sweden and I want her to meet her grandson and spend enough time with him before her plane trip home (which we've already extended once).
Yes I feel pressure from the hospital to induce, but I also feel pressure from my esteemed friends and family to buck authority, wait it out, so I am sure to fulfill on my dream natural birth.
I'm fraught with risk management dilemmas right now and doing a great deal of calculus plugging in the emotions and suggestions of a great number of people, along with medical risks for my son, me, and professional risks for my husband. Then there are financial risks (extending temporary housing) and hazards of moving during a recovery period to keep in mind. We have only a short number of friends in this new town and zero family.
I decided to compromise with the doctor and rather than induce tomorrow morning (Wednesday) I signed a "refusal of car" form that allowed him to escape immediate liability, but I will arrive willingly Thursday morning for Pitocin induction. Tonight I'll go on a long walk, eat spicy food, and take more primrose oil. Then tomorrow morning I will see my acupuncturist. And if none of these things propel me into labor then I'll take a cab to the hospital's birthcenter at 5 am, ready for duty.
I wanted to birth naturally because I wanted the transformative experience, the empowerment of it all. Without having begun labor yet, there is already a small transformation in that I am realizing I can't always get what I want, and sometimes with parenthood you have to let some of your dreams go.

DOMO Engineering Plastics Italy S.p.A. achieves two important targets in its Quality and Environment Management
DOMO Engineering Plastics Italy S.p.A implemented a new integrated Quality and Environment Management system and aligns itself with the new ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 14001: 2015 one year before the regular deadline set in 2018.
The new 2015 edition introduces a risk-based approach where all factors potentially compromising the effectiveness of processes and the Management System for Quality and Environment have been preliminarily identified and assessed.
During the implementation, the entire reference context was thoroughly analysed for the identification of the main risk factors, both at the strategic and at the operational level. These are now the basis from which to develop our improvement plans.
This approach is therefore integrated into our product innovation and production process strategies, and our relations with our suppliers and customers, so being essential for the pursuit of business growth.
But DOMO EP has also obtained the homologation of two materials in accordance with the European railways vehicles standard EN 45545, which defines a new classification system specifying fire performance requirements of materials and products used for railway vehicles.
In particular, DOMAMID® FR6G30 V0E and DOMAMID® FR 66G30 V0E have been certified respectively HL2 and HL3 according to the set of requirements R22-23 and 24.
These materials are halogen-free flame retardants, certified UL94 V0 at 0.80mm, and guarantee a low density and low toxicity smoke in case of combustion.
DOMO's product range allow a greater sustainability, efficiency, and long-term durability with a minimum of maintenance to many railways applications.
"Over the past few years, DOMO has heavily invested in new solutions for the railways sector and this result strengthens our presence in this important ever growing industry." States Domenico Lo Curto, Global Product Manager of DOMO Engineering Plastics.

Member Spotlight: Lori Reeves/
Lori Reeves is a web designer from Jackson who primarily works through her own company, Unleashed Web Design. Recently a portion of a conversation we had with Lori was published in the Jackson Sun where she shared a little about her career trajectory along with her secret to staying both productive and satisfied in her work. Below is the interview in-full, which sees Lori expound on her own story and tell more about what's helped her along the way.
Describe your path to what you're doing now. I worked for other people for a long time. And, I guess, nobody ever told me, "If you want to achieve something, then go try it." I kind of always grew up thinking that you grow up, go to school, get a job, get an employer who will employ you, and they tell you what you're worth and what you're limited to. That's basically how I started out my life. And then several years ago, after learning to live with discontentment in how things were panning out, I happened upon a book called The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. I guess the title intrigued me enough, so I purchased the book. The book really encouraged me to begin thinking that there was information out there that I could seek and find myself, and it really sparked me to start thinking creatively. At the time I was couponing avidly out of necessity. I was working part-time, hardly making any money, and our family was in a spot where we just needed to be really careful with our spending. So I started couponing, reading lots of blogs on strategy and approach, to the point where I started carrying a coupon binder to the store with me. People would ask about what I was doing and how they could learn a few tips, so I would stop and talk to them about all of the ins-and-outs of couponing. After several suggestions and probing, I decided to make a website telling about how I use coupons.
Interesting. Yeah, but I had no idea how to make a website. So I started simple with Blogger, and then quickly found that my tastes and attention to detail could not be accommodated within Blogger. After doing more research, everything was leading me to WordPress, so I moved in that direction and ran into a huge learning curve. I found myself learning HTML and CSS so that I could make my couponing blog look the exact way that I wanted it to look, and once I did that, I realized, 'I really like making websites!'. Before, I didn't realize I had the capacity to use code and build my own website, but after I read The Four Hour Work Week I decided that I was going to create a business. The first business I decided on, and the several other ideas that followed, were all horrible ideas. But I think that experience taught me that if there's something that I want, then I can go out there and get it. I gained a lot of experience in learning how to set something up for myself, and before I knew it the entrepreneurial seed was planted. I felt like I had something to offer, but I just couldn't put my finger on what that something was. After sifting through lots of useless online business courses and tutorials, I finally found a couple of people who were really helpful in the online business world, and I realized I too wanted to be someone who was truly helpful to people looking for it. Especially with women, as I was a new mom at the time, I wanted to be someone who could help people start things for themselves as I was trying to do.
Finally one day I realized, 'I can make websites.' And at that point, they were rudimentary; they weren't full-blown custom designed. I knew enough about HTML and CSS to the point where I considered myself to be dangerous but not effective (laughing). I realized that if I were going to make money doing this, then I had to make real websites, so I took another course called "The Girl's Guide to Web Design." The program taught me how to take the basic principles and themes I was already familiar with to its fullest potential, and ever since then I've been building custom websites for people.
How has that experience been? I love it. I happened upon websites because I was doing couponing –which I also love– because it was a like a game to me. It was very cerebral and game-like because I had to problem-solve and learn how to fit different variables together like you would in solving a puzzle (except using HTML and CSS). Web design allows me to be both creative and analytical at the same time, and, for me, I haven't found many other things that allow you to combine the two and excel.
Are there any websites or development companies that you particularly admire or look to for inspiration? I'm always looking at new things online and finding new ideas. I once read a book called Steal Like An Artist, and the author talked about taking little ideas and putting them in other books or whatever, and that's what I kind of do. I'm constantly paying attention to the little details in other concepts I've never thought of before. But I don't have one company in particular that I look to or especially admire because I fear that I will be like that, and I always wonder am I taking too much from what others have already done.
As a freelancer, what's your key to staying consistent in your productivity? Loving what I do (laughing). I know for sure that if I was doing something that I didn't love then I wouldn't have the drive that I have. I also hold a high standard for myself and try to hold myself to excellence in all that I do, but I find that that's easier to maintain in something that I enjoy doing. The key for me has been finding something that fulfills me and also can generate income, and honestly I found that through hardship because of where my family was financially. But I do think that it's important to find things that you love and pour yourself into them, not because it can generate income for you, but solely for the fulfillment. Then it becomes easier to pay attention to what fulfills you so that you can see what other things are in alignment with that where you could see some potential for monetary gain. I don't think you can fully understand the components of what fulfills you unless you're truly pouring all of yourself into it.
You mentioned earlier your feeling the need to help people who were in similar positions as you were. Now that you're at the point in your career that you're in currently, do you still feel the need to contribute to something bigger than yourself? Absolutely. I want to be a speaker. I have not yet made that a reality, but I feel like I'm on the path toward that. I find myself longing to be in a position to uplift and encourage other people in what they're doing – to provide a sense of hope. I want to help people believe in themselves, in a way they might not have ever fathomed they could.

SONGS OF DARK RADIANCE: a music and dance performance
Jesse Olsen Bay; composer, musician and Virginia Matthews; choreographer, dancer have teamed up to present a performance of music and dance based on "Makings" a song cycle inspired by the unpublished writings of renowned author Tillie Olsen. A charismatic performer and distinguished composer, Jesse Olsen Bay weaves an intimate journey of his grandmother Tillie Olsen's reflections through voice, piano, guitar and other musical instruments. Acclaimed choreographer Virginia Matthews has created her responses to both the musical compositions and the imagery of the songs through solo, duet and group dances. This is a unique glimpse into the world of an artist, musing on her artistic process, revisiting her memories and facing the end of her life. The spirit of Tillie Olsen has inspired these two artists in their own creative journeys to reveal the essence of the arc of a life in this live performance.

English is widely spoken, especially in areas that are used to tourists, though accents and grammar may vary considerably. Different ethnic groups have their own language or dialects, but Nepalese is the national language. The script is Devanagari. English is widely understood in urban centres.
Note that we always ensure that our clients are paired with guides who can speak their language.
Making long distance calls is easy from major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Cyber cafes and communication shops offer phone and internet services in every corner. They let you receive and send fax and provide computer for internet access for a fee.
Landline telephone calls to most countries are now direct. Fax and Telex facilities are now ubiquitously available. Internet facilities are also easily available in most cities and tourist centres, in cybercafes and business centres, but free wireless connectivity is rare.
Connectivity – wireless or conventional broadband – in five-star hotels tends to be many times more expensive than cybercafes in the same areas.
The postal service is fairly spread out; you're likely to find post offices in the most remote towns. You can usually buy stamps and leave letters for posting at most hotels.

Wait until you start getting pressure to sign the release on some aircrat because passengers are waiting, it is too expensive to fix it right now, egomaniacs who did the job for a few months, who are now your boss, now think they know enough to direct you and give you orders, even though they contravene the CARS, standard practices, safety standards, etc.
I guess you have not experienced the style of management where daily explosive rages are SOP, when your boss sticks his face inches from yours, screaming at the top of his voice, heis still unable to motivate his workforce, and all in front of your crew when you are the crew chief?
The shift work, the missed stat holidays, the working outside in all extemes of weather, no summer vacations for the first 20 years of your career when your family is young, all takes it's toll.
The industry is all about three things now, money, money, and money. Less for you, more for the executives.
I am out of the game now and am so glad I never caused any damage or deaths (passenger or manager). The stress and responsibility just gets to you after a while.
I just wish I had become a hair dresser, they can't outsourse that to Central America......
Wow reading that was depressing...

The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) just announced a proposal that marks a dramatic change in the way they approach electronic medical record (EMR) certification. CCHIT is currently the only government-recognized body that certifies EMR software. The goal is to "accelerate" the adoption of EMR software by assuring physicians that certified software meets certain standards for functionality, thus eliminating uncertainty from the market.
One major problem with CCHIT is expensive application fee. Application and renewal fees are approximately $40,000, not counting development costs needed to meet CCHIT's exhaustive standards. This keeps certification out of reach for many smaller vendors. Some have even ventured to say that CCHIT is purposely trying to keep smaller vendors out of the market.
Regardless of whether or not this is true, many smaller vendors fear CCHIT might be selected as the certification criteria for the HITECH stimulus package. In order to qualify for stimulus money, physicians must purchase and use a "certified system," according to the meaningful use guidelines. If CCHIT is selected in its current form, many EMR vendors could be driven out of business.
Furthermore, the vast majority of EMRs are uncertified; statistics show fewer vendors pursue certification each year. If only a handful of vendors are allowed to provide EMRs for the nation's physicians, there will not be enough time for the majority of practices to qualify. Many of the larger, CCHIT-certified systems already have six-month implementation backlogs. This will only get worse as 2011 approaches.
However, CCHIT recently proposed three new certification options that might solve these problems. Dr. Mark Leavitt, CCHIT chairman acknowledged the need to accommodate "broader swaths" of the market. The changes would make it easy for smaller vendors and open-source software to achieve certification. One of the proposed certification tracks could cost as little as $5,000, and scholarships may be available for non-profit EMR providers.
The proposal has three tracks, EHR-C, EHR-M, and EHR-S. EHR-C is the most comprehensive, similar to the status quo. EHR-M is geared towards software that focuses on a specific medical specialty, and EHR-S is aimed at vendors who build systems from noncertified components.
CCHIT is certainly on the right track. These are welcome changes which could solve many problems in the EMR industry. CCHIT should implement the new proposals as soon as possible, so vendors can apply before the HITECH requirements are published in January. Failure to do so could jeopardize success of the stimulus package.

I think dad has pneumonia or a virus. He seems weaker and his voice is a bit hoarse. He has no energy. He doesn't want to eat…an ongoing problem. He requested his nebulizor medication. He is taking Darvocet frequently…I don't know if he is having that much pain since his last thoracentesis or…I don't know. He had some Levaquin left and started on that…but…I think he needs to go to the Dr. Of course he threw a big ass fit when I told him I was making an appointment and taking him. NO NO NO he told me.
okay…I get it. Don't help you
when I know better
this has been a day from hell anyway and now I feel even more of a failure.

On February 24 and February 27, 2006, EWG (Environmental Working Group) purchased the following drinks at four major retail outlets in Washington, DC. They all contained ascorbic acid and either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate—the ingredients that the FDA and the beverage industry have said can mix together to form benzene, a known human carcinogen. The actual levels of benzene formed in these products may be at trace levels and well within legal limits for drinking water.

Dad had a left lung thorecentesis yesterday. For him, it was extremely painful…the worst one yet. He said, "I'm not doing it again", and I think I believe him. Maybe there will be no need for it. They drained off 800cc of fluid this time. He took 2 Percocet for the pain and I think those meds helped him.
He is to get Zometa on March 9th or so.
I guess he is not choosing to do the parathyroid surgery.
He is depressed.
The last time he went to the Dr. (and I couldn't go to this appointment) the Oncologist said things that were depressing Mom said….like…"If I were a betting man I'd bet this cancer will come back", and "If you are going to be around for 4 or 5 years more I would suggest the surgery"…and I guess the way he said things he was looking down at his hands and just…depressing.
Dad's weight is 140's. He isn't eating. Doesn't want to.
But his scans are good. State…No sign of cancer.
Although his Calcium remains on the high side. 11 this time.
shit, I don't know.
Bastard Dr anyway.
Bastard Cancer anyway.
Fucking cigarettes anyway.
Talked with mom about 1 hour ago.
The endocrinoligist called and said he thinks dad does have thyroid trouble and wants him to see the surgeon on Feb 22nd in Lincoln.
DAMN. Just a bit of tarnish on our good news.
Word on the CT scan?
Yes…C L E A R from cancer. Yes, there is fluid bilaterally. Yes there are radiation changes. No metastasis. No new growth. Nada.
Liver clean, kidney's clean, abdomen clean.
for now
Dad had a CT scan with barium swallow today.
We went up to Kearney, did the test, got groceries in Holdridge, and came home.
We go back to Kearney on Monday for the results.
We have not received the results for the test ordered by the endocrinologist either.
Do we want to or???
I don't know.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
Saltworks, Inc. v. Tom Graham
Case No. D2005-0874
1. The Parties
Complainant is Saltworks, Inc., Redmond, Washington, United States of America, represented by Ian Lurie, United States of America.
Respondent is Tom Graham, Washington, DC, United States of America.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <saltworks.com> (the "Domain Name") is registered with Tucows.
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on August 11, 2005. On August 17, 2005, the Center transmitted by e-mail to Tucows a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain name at issue. On August 17, 2005, Tucows transmitted by e-mail to the Center its verification response confirming that Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact. In response to a notification by the Center that the Complaint was administratively deficient, Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on August 26, 2005. The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amendment to the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on September 2, 2005. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for the Response was September 22, 2005. The Response was filed with the Center on September 19, 2005.
The Center appointed Robert A. Badgley as the sole panelist in this matter on September 30, 2005. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
4. Factual Background
Complainant alleges that it manufactures and sells gourmet cooking salts, as well as bath and spa salts. Complainant claims to use the term SALTWORKS as its mark for such products, but provides in the Complaint no information regarding its first use of that alleged mark. Complainant further claims that its website "www.saltworks.us" has "been in business selling bath and gourmet salt since June 2002."
Respondent registered the Domain Name on June 17, 2001, a year before any use of SALTWORKS by Complainant is alleged in the Complaint. Respondent's Domain Name registration also predates the first-use date claimed on Complainant's application for trademark registration for the mark SALTWORKS, namely, February 6, 2002.
Respondent alleges that it registered the Domain Name, without knowledge of Complainant or its alleged mark, in furtherance of its business of producing salt from a facility in Anguilla, British West Indies, and selling luxury bath salts.
In April and May 2001, Respondent presented to the Government of Anguilla a business plan for its proposed venture. In May 2001, Respondent engaged a University of Florida botanist to conduct a feasibility study with respect to the Anguilla saltworks facility reclamation project. In September 2001, Respondent began using the Domain Name for its e-mail address in conjunction with its business plans. The foregoing activities are reflected in exhibits annexed to Respondent's Response.
Respondent claims that a website will be established at the Domain Name by the end of 2005.
5. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
Complainant alleges, without elaboration or evidence, that "Respondent holds no trademark or other right to the Saltworks name." Complainant further alleges, again without elaboration or evidence, that Respondent has never operated any online business, does not seem to have "any business plan or purpose for owning" the Domain Name, and is "simply squatting" on the Domain Name.
B. Respondent
Respondent's activities and motives vis-à-vis the Domain Name are summarized in Section 4 above.
6. Discussion and Findings
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy lists the three elements which Complainant must satisfy in order to succeed:
(i) the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights; and
(ii) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and
(iii) the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
Complainant has failed to demonstrate rights in the alleged mark SALTWORKS. There is no trademark registration, and there is insufficient evidence that Complainant holds common law trademark rights.
First, Complainant has furnished no documentary proof of its alleged use of SALTWORKS as a mark for its cooking and bath salt products.
Second, SALTWORKS appears to be a descriptive term as applied to the goods that Complainant claims to sell. As such, it lacks inherent distinctiveness, and cannot enjoy trademark protection without proof of acquired distinctiveness.
There has been no showing by Complainant that its unregistered, descriptive mark has acquired distinctiveness, or "secondary meaning," to qualify for trademark protection.
In sum, the Complaint fails under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy since Complainant has not established that it has rights in a mark.
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
Pursuant to paragraph 4(c) of the Policy, Respondent may establish its rights or legitimate interests in the domain name, among other circumstances, by showing any of the following elements:
"(i) before any notice to you [Respondent] of the dispute, your [Respondent's] use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the Domain Name or a name corresponding to the Domain Name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you [Respondent] (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the Domain Name, even if you [Respondent] have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you [Respondent] are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the Domain Name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue."
Complainant bears the burden of proof on the "rights or legitimate interests" issue (as it does for all three elements of the Policy). See Louis de Bernieres v. Old Barn Studios Limited, WIPO Case No. D2001-0122 (March 26, 2001).
The activities of Respondent, as summarized above in Section 4, clearly reflect "demonstrable preparations to use the Domain Name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods." Hence, Respondent enjoys "rights or legitimate interests" in the Domain Name within the meaning of paragraph 4(c)(i) of the Policy.
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy provides that the following circumstances, "in particular but without limitation," are evidence of the registration and use of the Domain Name in "bad faith":
(i) circumstances indicating that Respondent has registered or has acquired the Domain Name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to Complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that Complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of its documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the Domain Name; or
(ii) that Respondent has registered the Domain Name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that Respondent has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) that Respondent has registered the Domain Name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) that by using the Domain Name, Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to Respondent's website or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Respondent's website or location or of a product or service on Respondent's website or location.
The Domain Name cannot be said to have been registered in bad faith since, at the time of registration, Respondent had no knowledge of Complainant or Complainant's alleged trademark. This principle was well articulated in Rusconi Editore S.P.A. v. Bestinfo, WIPO Case No. D2001-0656 (July 5, 2001), wherein the panel observed:
"The Policy is directed to dealing with cybersquatters. For an allegation of bad faith registration and use of a domain name to succeed, the Complainant has to show at the very least that when the Respondent registered the Domain Name, the Respondent was (or was likely to have been) aware of the existence of the Complainant or, more particularly, the Complainant's rights in respect of the trade mark in question."
As noted above, the Domain Name was registered several months before any alleged use by Complainant of its alleged mark SALTWORKS.
In sum, in the absence of any evidence, or even reason to infer, that Respondent knew of Complainant and/or its mark at the time the Domain Name was registered, this Complaint must fail for want of bad faith.
7. Decision
For all the foregoing reasons, the Complaint is denied.
Robert A. Badgley
Sole Panelist
Dated: October 5, 2005

Yes, it's January here in New York. The forecast calls for two days of snow approaching and I'm here thinking about winters elsewhere.
Two hours away from the city I lived in, in Japan, there's a place called Nagano. From Niigata, you can see their mountains in the distance. Not bad waking up with mountains on one side and beach on the other. In the onsens of Nagano live their Snow Monkeys. Both frightening and beauitful at the same time. I vow that if in Japan during the winter again, I will be going to Nagano to witness this for myself.
Then...thanks to #TNI on Twitter for two weeks people have been bringing up the Ice Hotel. I believe there is more than one but these photos are of the hotel in Quebec, Canada. Never had a reason to go to Canada...has that suddenly changed?

Rapid City, South Dakota - Ten teams from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology are currently participating in a business accelerator program created by the Enterprise Institute and funded by the Blackstone Charitable Foundation. The teams are comprised of mix of students, faculty, and entrepreneurs-in-residence. The South Dakota Engineering Accelerator is focused on high-growth business creation and the commercialization of engineering-focused projects from the university system and the general public.
One of the teams that is participating in the accelerator is Endlas, consisting SDSM&T graduate students Joshua Hammell, James Tomich, and Brett Trotter.
Through additive manufacturing and coating technologies of super hard aluminum magnesium boride, AlMgB14-TiB2, (BAM) particles with various metals, metal alloys, ceramics, and nano-phase materials, the team is able to tailor coatings for improved properties such as hardness and lubricity. Endlas will provide laser cladding services, including BAM hardfacing, laser processing equipment design, manufacturing consulting, and engineering services.
"Cumulatively, our team has been conducting industrially funded laser cladding research and development as well as additive manufacturing research for 14 years. We have solved a wide range of laser processing and additive manufacturing challenges and played an integral role in the transition of two major products from the stages of R&D to production. As a result of this experience, we have identified the need for a startup in the Black Hills region that can provide laser cladding, additive manufacturing, and consulting services. One of our primary goals is to maintain close collaboration with South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, while helping to transition technology that stimulates the local economy and creates jobs in South Dakota," explained the team.
"We chose to participate in the South Dakota Engineering Accelerator because it was recommended to us by Darren Haar, an Entrepreneur in Residence at SDSM&T. We agreed that that it was a good opportunity to develop skills that will enable us to start and operate a successful business. So far, the most valuable thing we've experienced in the program is the encouragement that we are given to pursue our project further.
About the Enterprise Institute:
The Enterprise Institute began in 2001 when a group of business leaders and entrepreneurs decided to help identify and launch high-growth businesses in South Dakota. The mission of the Enterprise Institute is to encourage and assist the establishment of growth enterprises in the state. Since 2006, the nonprofit has organized and currently administers seven member managed angel investment funds in the state of South Dakota. To date, the funds include over 130 individual accredited investors and have raised over $7,500,000 to invest in startup companies in the state and region.
About the Blackstone Charitable Foundation:
The Blackstone Charitable Foundation was founded at the time of Blackstone's IPO in 2007 with substantial commitments from the Firm's employees. Influenced by the enterprising heritage of the firm and its founders, the Blackstone Charitable Foundation is directing its resources and applying the intellectual capital of the firm to foster entrepreneurship in areas nationwide and globally. Through its investment expertise across several asset classes and geographies, Blackstone has a unique perspective on the global economy and a heightened understanding of how entrepreneurial activity is often the crucial catalyst in the growth of successful businesses, industries, and communities.

What Is An Embedded Network
Embedded networks allow energy to be purchased at a bulk discount and on-sold to tenants within a building.
Where can an embedded network be established?
An embedded network can be established where electricityinfrastructure is privately owned and managed. They have proved highly effective in shopping centres, high-rise and broad-acre residential developments, commercial/industrial parks and caravan parks.
Embedded networks are established to physically aggregate the energy consumed within the complex to a single metered point. Sub-meters measure tenant consumption using the latest in smart interval metering technology.
Who can establish an embedded network?
Examples of customers who may benefit by establishing an embedded network include:
- Apartment Buildings
- Retirement Villages
- Shopping Centres
- Educational Facilities
- Housing Estates
- Industrial and Commercial Estates and Complexes
What are the benefits to me as a Tenant?
The on-selling rates are generally the best available in the market and the embedded network aims to provide cheaper electricity and superior customer service to you as tenants. Your consumer rights are covered by the Energy Retail Code. Managing your electricity when moving in or out of your apartment is also a lot easier.
How does an Embedded Network operate?
The bulk purchases are made at a Parent Meter with individual usage recorded at each apartment. All users within the embedded network can either choose to purchase from the embedded network or a licensed energy retailer.
Embedded Networks in Australia
Embedded Networks are relatively new to the market in some Australian states with the legislative framework only developed within the last few years. The Embedded Networks concept is simple and sound. A proven process developed over many years internationally and utilises existing technologies.

Honda runs the game. End of story. Whether you're talking motorcycles, powersports, lawn equipment, or cars, Honda has established itself as the front-runner in reliability, performance, and quality throughout the industries. Since its humble beginnings in the late 1940s, Honda has become the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, and a leader in manufacture of engines and automobiles worldwide. The success of this company is owed not only to the brilliant engineering and superior quality of its products, but also its understanding of the market and the impact this has on product design and advertising.
Take, for example, the Honda C70 Passport. This 70cc, 3 speed semi-automatic machine broke ground in the states in the early 60s. Honda exported these bikes on a huge scale worldwide, and accompanied the machines with the marketing campaign "You meet the nicest people on a Honda"
These friendly little machines appealed to a new demographic of potential motorcyclists. At the time, your stereotypical "biker" was thought of a crusty, macho-man in a black leather jacket, raising hell while riding from bar to bar on a Harley Davidson or Indian motorcycle. While that sounds like some kinda good time to me, the stigma associated with bikers kept potential young and casual riders away from purchasing a motorcycle. The Passport featured an easily operated semi-automatic transmission, a full leg shield to protect riders from debris, and a number of covers and fairings that hid just about every mechanical part or system from the rider. These novice-friendly features, along with an incredibly effective marketing campaign, and the best-in-industry reliability and performance, made the Passport an incredibly popular vehicle domestically and worldwide - ultimately becoming the best-selling motorcycle of all time. Honda produced its 60-millionth "Super Cub" in 2008.
Whats this got to do with the Ruckus? Well, Honda pulled a similar feat with the release of the Ruckus scooter in 2003 - a new addition to join the Metropolitan in Honda's modern 49cc scooter offerings. While their marketing approach may have been less pronounced, the design and styling of the Ruckus went a long way to grow the popularity of that machine. In the early 2000s, mopeds and scooters still carried, quite strongly, a stigma associated with being marginalized, diminutive, and even "girly". This leftover sentiment from the 80s and 90s is all too familiar to a modern scooterist - having insults and perhaps even frozen beverages hurled at them from passing traffic, just for scooting around on the road.
In the US, the Honda Ruckus entered the market and changed the way the public looked at scooters. The Ruckus looked like no other scooter before it - it lacked the fairings common on many scooters, giving it an edgy, more mechanical aesthetic. The scooter-sized tires feature knobby, deep tread that look more aggressive, and allow riders for short runs in rough terrain. The dual headlights and protective wire mesh go even further to solidify the "cool factor" of the Ruckus. All of these features made it so that anybody - frat bros, retired dads, high school kiddos, and the rest - not only felt comfortable having their friends see them on the scooter, but actually felt cool! In our little seacoast town of Portsmouth, NH, we've seen an incredible boost in the amount of Ruckuses on the road, and coming through the shop for service, and we have a feeling they'll be continuing with solid sales success for years to come.
Why so much talk about a scooter that we don't even carry? I guess we're just huge fans of Honda motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. You can take it from me - if you've got the budget, there is no better option for your modern scooterist than a Honda machine. Port City Mopeds does carry a wide variety of new and use scooters - from used Honda Ruckuses and Metropolitans, to restored Tomos Sprint mopeds, to no-name brand Chinese scooters. We love em all and they all have their place in today's moped/scooter market. Check out our stock at www.portsmouthmopeds.com/shop

Magician Steve Cohen will begin filming a two-hour TV special for the History Channel next month that involves him "traveling the world to search for lost magic tricks that haven't been seen for hundreds of years," he announced in his newsletter today.
I remember him saying the walnut trick he performed on David Letterman involved researching an old trick. Delving into older, lesser known effects sounds like an excellent premise for a special, and something that is right up Mr. Cohen's alley. We at Magic Trickster are excited to hear about the project.
I'm excited to announce that I'm currently at work on my own 2-hour television special for the History Channel. We begin filming next month, and I'll be traveling the world to search for lost magic tricks that haven't been seen for hundreds of years.
The team working with me is an incredible group of talented professionals, and I feel blessed to have found people who share my vision.
Stay tuned – we still don't have an airdate but you'll be the first to know.

Choking on my chapattis
No posts this week as I have been attending a wedding in Goa, India for the last few days. Having been almost completely unplugged from my usual internet addiction, I had missed the news that Chas Freeman has been forced into withdrawing his nomination to head the US National Intelligence Council. And that the man leading the campaign is the AIPAC staffer who is on trial for espionage (and unfortunately will probably not be convicted.) More here. I did not like the fact that Freeman had ties to the Saudi lobby but find it a bit rich that he was attacked by the most powerful and malicious foreign policy lobby in the US for this, especially considering the Israel lobby's responsibility for 20 years of failed US Middle East policy. I hope the new nominee will be someone just as (or more!) outspoken on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Normal ranting and links will resume next week.

The NFL's ratings have been kicked in the teeth this year, with primetime slots seeing double-digit drops in viewership.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has blamed the falloff on a few external factors, including the election. "Cyclical" was the word Goodell used to describe the ratings dip when speaking on Thursday, at The New York Times' Dealbook conference.
But it also seems that the NFL might recognize that it needs to change something internally.
Here's an indication: The league is considering cutting down the amount of commercials in its broadcasts.
"We want to take as much what we call dead time, non-action, out of the game, so that we can make the game more exciting," Goodell said, according to The Times. How? One of the big ideas to improve that Goodell put forth was decreasing the number of ads and changing up the way they appear.
And Goodell isn't the only NFL exec talking about trimming ads.
"We don't blame everything on the election," Brian Rolapp, NFL Media EVP and head of the NFL Network, said Wednesday, according to Broadcasting & Cable. He understands the world is changing.
Rolapp said the NFL is "looking very hard" at changing the way it does ads.
"In a world where Netflix has no commercials and consumers are used to 15 seconds of of pre-roll, is there a better way to do commercials with our broadcast partners?" Rolapp asked. He pointed out that running 70 per game might be a turn off, Broadcasting & Cable reports.
He definitely has a point, and the slowness of games has been a gripe of NFL fans for years.
Last season, NFL games averaged a whopping 3 hours and eight minutes, according to The Times.

One year ago the Boston Marathon bombings killed three people, injured hundreds of others and left a city in shock. The people of Boston are honoring the victims Tuesday, after 12 hard months of recovery and revival.
The recovery includes preparations for this year's race on Monday. Last year, thousands of people lined this roadway near the finish line when the two bombs exploded and Tuesday, the city will come together to pause and remember the victims, first responders, and others affected by the tragedy.
Vice President Biden will be among those paying tribute during what's expected to be an emotional week. CBS News' Elaine Quijano reported on the memorials from the marathon finish line on Boylston Street, just west of downtown Boston.
Just steps from that finish line, workers rolled out a giant prayer canvas filled with well wishes from across the country -- one of the many tributes honoring the city before next week's marathon takes place under heightened security.
Boston's definition of normal changed forever last year when the race - one of the city's most festive events - ended in tragedy.
Back-to-back bombs ripped through the packed marathon route leaving three people dead - Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, and 8-year-old Martin Richard.
More than 260 others were injured, including at least 16 people who lost limbs.
A flag was raised in their honor Monday at Boston Medical Center, where many of the victims were treated.
In the days that followed the attacks, Boston's Copley Square was transformed into a memorial. Some of the thousands of items left behind are now on display at the city's public library.
It's another sign that while Boston may still be healing, it's more resilient than ever.
"It brings back, yes the sadness, but also it brings back the strength of everyone bonding together and trying to make everything better," said Massachusetts resident George Kachen. "And again, the spirit of we are strong, the people are strong, this country is strong. I love that."

Fresh off Kevin Harvick's first win of the season, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series speeds into a holiday weekend featuring one of the year's best events, the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
Any trip to Daytona is special—and especially so if the event surrounds a holiday.
But this year has found a way to be even more important than usual. NASCAR's playoff picture is a mess, which isn't a bad thing from an entertainment standpoint. Harvick's triumph means other winners in this year's new stage-based format might not make the cut at the end of the season.
That tends to happen when it's only June and 11 drivers have wins.
With more on the line than usual, even for drivers who have already managed to secure a checkered flag, this weekend's event isn't one fans will want to miss.

Let us take a moment to remember all of the veterans who have served our country, protecting not only our freedom, but the freedom of others around the world, any time "Uncle Sam" asked.
This is my Poppy – while he was serving in World War II
I have some wonderful photos that my grandfather brought back from the war.
My other grandfather, father and uncles, who all served for our country as well.
My family wasn't the only side who had a history of veterans.
My father-in-law who served for 23 years. Isn't my husband adorable there on his lap?
My husband's grandfather.
And the tradition went much further back than you might imagine. Note the civil war jacket in the photo here. These are some of my mother-in-law's family.
My husband and I.
Yes, our country, and even my family, has a long history of volunteers serving for our freedoms.
Take a moment to remember them today.

- October home sales in Washoe County are the fourth highest home sales for an October in history and outpaces October 2010 by 15 percent. This is the first month where the year-over-year comparison is not influenced by the tax credit incentives, thus a positive sign that sales remain healthy. Also, we have seen only moderate fluctuations in median price for the past seven months. With the majority of new listings entering the market at the under $150,000 and a majority of sales occuring in this same price range, we are cautiously optimistic that prices are at the bottom.
Reno/Sparks Median Sales Price
- October 2011 median price was down 1% to $148,500 compared to $150,000 in September 2011.
- Median price is defined as the mid-point, where, for the time period identified, the price for one-half of the sales are higher and one-half are lower.
Reno/Sparks Homes Price per Square Foot Solds
- Price per square foot is $89.65
- Price per square foot by area groups, as provided in the Detailed Report, is a good way to compare similar homes for current value.
Reno/Sparks Homes Sold
- October ended the month with 483 sold transactions, down 14.7% from the prior month.
- Sales are up 15.3% from the same period last year. For the first time in over a year, the October 2011 comparison of year-over-year figures is a comparison without the influence of tax incentives.
Average Days on Market
- The average days on market are 147 days, up 9% from September 2011.
Days on Market (DOM) by Special Conditions
- Short sales continue to influence the average days on market at 214 DOM.
- Properties with no special conditions, and Other show a range of between 131 and 149 DOM and have been trending up the last couple months.
- REO properties average days on market remain level at 97.
Reno/Sparks Homes New Listings
- 516 new listings were taken in October compared to 617 in September, a 17% decrease.
- Distressed New Listings by Special Conditions.
- 68% of new October listings were distressed - 39% (201) Short Sales; 28% (147) REO; No special conditions 32% (164) and Other less than 1% (4).
Status of Pending
- Active Pending - Short Sales represents 61.2% of the total active pendings; Active Pending Loan equals 17.7%; Pending No-show represents 16.2%; Active Pending call 4.5%; and Active Pending House less than 1%.
Reno/Sparks Homes Months Supply of Inventory (Unsold Inventory divided by Sales per Month)
- As of October 30, there was 6.5 months of unsold inventory based on the October sales rate.
Historical Months Supply of Inventory
- Historical Months Supply of Inventory show that October MSI is down to 6.5 months compared to September 2011 at 6, and down 25% from October 2010.
- Eight of the past twelve months, the market has been what is defined as balanced. In the past 24 months, the market has remained as primarily a buyer's market.
- The National Association of REALTORS® describes a balanced market as between 5 and 7 months supply.
- Unsold inventory includes Active Pendings. This method of reporting months supply of inventory follows the industry standard of including all pending sales remaining in active status in the active inventory.
- October home sales at 483 are the fourth highest home sales for a October in history. The number outpaces October 2010 sales by 15%. October 2010 was the final month of the tax incentivized period. This is the first month where the year-over-year comparison is not influenced by the tax credit incentives. Going forward, we will be comparing the year-over-year sales period without the artificial influence of a tax credit.
- Year-to-date 2011 home sales (4,862) numbers are up 8% over 2010 home sales (4,478). We are optimistic that the sales number will outpace 2010.
- October's median price of $148,500 was down less than 1% from September. The median price has traded in the 4% range for the past six months. Sales at under $150,00 represented 50% of the total sales for the month. With this trend, it's understandable why there is downward pressure on the median price.
- Freddie Mac reported that the 30-year fixed rate loan dropped to 4.07%, compared to 4.11% last month. This is the lowest rate reported since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971. Sources report that mortgage interest rates should gradually rise from today's record lows and reach 4.5% by the middle of 2012.
- A qualified homebuyer purchasing a home priced at $150,000 with a 3.5% down payment, at 4.07% interest rate will have a monthly payment of approximately $700,000 principal and interest.
- According to Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, "Housing affordability conditions, based on the relationship between median home prices, mortgage interest rates, and median family income, have been at a record high this year. Very favorable affordability conditions will dominate next year as well, which will probably be the second best year on record dating back to 1970. If credit restrictions ease, there is optimism that it will open the door for more home buyers to take advantage of current opportunities.
