I write about Internet law, intellectual property and advertising law
Google ($GOOG) makes billions of dollars a year selling AdWords ads triggered by third party trademarks. Over the past decade, trademark owners have brought about 20 lawsuits against Google challenging these ad sales. These lawsuits have ranged from high-stakes class action lawsuits (the FPX lawsuit) to well-funded challenges by big trademark owners (e.g., the Rosetta Stone ($RST) and American Airlines lawsuits) to poorly funded lawsuits by no-name trademark owners like the case I discuss in this post. In a remarkable litigation tour-de-force, Google has never definitively lost any of these cases in court (though it has occasionally lost intermediate rulings). At the same time, Google hasn't definitively won any of its cases in court either. This makes Google's recent wi in an AdWords trademark case noteworthy.
Daniel Jurin owns the trademark "Styrotrim" for building materials. The first time he sued Google, he lost his lawyer and voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit, which led to a $6,000 sanction against him. Jurin found a new attorney and tried again, and even got a surprising intermediate win on his "false association" claim. However, Jurin lost his second lawyer–and his litigation mojo. As a result, Jurin didn't contest Google's summary judgment motion, giving Google an easy courtroom win. With minimal analysis, the court says that Jurin didn't provide any evidence of actionable consumer confusion, false advertising or sufficient fame to support a trademark dilution claim.
It's hard to get too excited about a Google win where the opponent stopped showing up. Still, for Google, this is a rare final ruling in its favor. Google got a partial win in the GEICO case in 2005, leading to a settlement. Google also got a complete win in the Rosetta Stone case at the district court, but the appellate court reversed that win. Assuming Jurin won't appeal this ruling (after all, he effectively abandoned the case), this may be the first time Google won an final judicial decision upholding the legitimacy of its AdWords trademarked keyword ads sales.
Jurin's fizzling out also reminds us that suing Google for trademark infringement remains a bad business decision. Google will spend whatever it takes to defend its cash cow–far more than it's worth to any individual trademark owner, especially a small player like Styrotrim, to sue Google. Recently, we've seen a couple of ill-advised new trademark lawsuits by other small-time players (CYBERsitter and Home Decor Center). Google will win those cases, probably because those plaintiffs will give up–just like many other trademark owners (including American Blinds, Ascentive, Ezzo, Rescuecom, Parts Geek, Soaring Helmet and others) have voluntarily done after tangling with Google.
The most dangerous pending AdWords-related trademark lawsuit is the Rosetta Stone case. Despite the Fourth Circuit's revitalization of the case, I believe Google will win that lawsuit (or settle on favorable terms). As a result, I predict that Google will soon finish the job of establishing a clean bill-of-health on the legitimacy of selling third party trademarks to trigger keyword advertisements. Microsoft ($MSFT), Yahoo ($YHOO) and other sellers of trademark-keyed ads (such as Twitter) should all benefit from that outcome too.
For more on the policy considerations underlying trademark challenges to AdWords, see my papers Deregulating Relevancy in Internet Trademark Law and Brand Spillovers. Also see my recent Forbes post, Newly Released Consumer Survey Indicates that Legal Concerns About Competitive Keyword Advertising Are Overblown.
Case citation: Jurin v. Google, Inc., 2012 WL 5011007 (E.D. Cal. October 17, 2012).
How is that a win? The plaintiff walked practically walked out on the case, and the matter was never essentially heard on its merits through an unopposed summary judgment motion.
And how are Cyber Sitter and the Home Decor Center matter going to be a win for Google? After looking up the docket on PACER, it looks like the plaintiff in the Home Decor Center matter won at the preliminary stage, has standing for TM Infringement and Unfair Business practices among other CoAs, to which Google and the co-Defendant home depot proceeded to file answers to.
Am I missing something?
While our opinions differ, I guess we both agree that we should let the jury hear the case.
With that being said, do you really believe that should a case such as Cyber Sitter or Home Decor Center go before a jury, the jurors will enter a decision for Google? I feel that once one of these cases reaches trial and a judgment is entered against Google, the floodgates will swing wide open for more lawsuits against Google.
I just hope that none of these Plaintiffs will get intimidated by Google's "Tour-De-Force" tactics and settle for peanuts.
So outspending your opponenet in litigation cost are considered to be court victories these days? I hope home decor center or cybersitter get the financial means to stand up to giants like google unlike styrotrim, and not get intimidated, and take it all the way to a jury for others to follow.
The headline of this article is not satisfactorily supported by its content.
As a consumer, I want to know what my choices are. So I am entitled to see all the search results for a given keyword – if they are relevant.
Brands frightened to see competitors showing up in searches are in insecure territory if their customers aren't married to them any more and can be lured away. Consider it an excellent opportunity for competitor research to refine or re-invent your USP.
Google allows TM terms to be banned from ad copy by the TM owner – even by legitimate distributors of the product. But anyone can bid on them. But is it worth it?
Most brand searches are just shortcuts anyway with no commercial intent whatever – except for the brand owner.
So any business pursuing this strategy (quite legitimate to test, and possibly successful if brand consumers are dissatisfied and ready to jump ship) must be clear on its measurable financial goals to be confident of continuing to "earn more than you spend" on AdWords.
Not earning more than you spend? Then you're doing it wrong.
Using another persons registered trademark SHOULD BE illegal! Small business owners don't have a chance of protecting their marks when a large corporation just takes it…..because they can? The Federal trademark commission needs to stop selling registrations because a registration is not worth the paper it is written on. I own a registered trademark and will NEVER buy another one. Google has made billions (2 guys that put together a database) off of other peoples hard work and NO TELLING how many small business owners have been put out of business since Google started up the ADWORDS campaign.
LOOK at GRAMSLAM.com. (YUP IT'S IN PACER TOO)GRAMSLAM is a registered trademark and online since 1999. GRAMSLAM IS apparently not the same as GRAM SLAM..(just for the hell of it close your eyes and tell me if these two names SOUND the same…and then spell it….yup spelled the same too….AND OMG..THE COURT says they are DIFFERENT……….in the same category too….shows up on the same page…..and the ONLY HITS I get to my website these days are hits from RUSSIA AND INDIA???? Google farmed me out I guess because I can't afford to COMPETE for MY NAME as a keyword. WHAT A JOKE! AND OMG AGAIN…MY MARK IS REGISTERED(didn't matter I had the "stronger" mark and I didn't get a trial which I am entitled too…. and the other mark is not even registerdd?????????? (too risky for a corporation to TRY)
The ONLY business's that will survive on the internet will be large corporations unless the Courts open their eyes to what is happening. Sure doesn't help either when your attorney bails……

By Jason Brennan
Paul Ryan — possible future Vice President of the United States — calls Ayn Rand one of his principal inspirations. He once claimed (and later denied) that Atlas Shrugged was required reading for his staff. He even gives copies of Atlas Shrugged as Christmas presents, which is a touch ironic, since Rand was an ardent atheist.
Are we just one heart attack or gunshot away from an Ayn Rand presidency? No. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Paul Ryan's voting record speaks loudly. He is no Randian libertarian. Rather, he is just another run-of-the-mill big government neoconservative. Ryan's rise isn't the ascent of Ayn Rand, but the return of George W. Bush.
Ayn Rand believed people should be free to anything they please, so long as they don't trample on the rights of others. She advocated a minimal, night-watchman state. She believed a just government would provide protection, law courts to settle disputes, and nothing else. Rand didn't advocate low taxes, but no taxes. She believed a just government would collect fees for services rendered.
Rand would regard our current government as an unjust, rights-violating, bloated monstrosity. It is a monster Paul Ryan helped create. Ryan may admire Ayn Rand. He may quote F. A. Hayek in interviews. Yet his voting record is right out of the neocon playbook.
Rand opposed government bailouts and subsidies. Yaron Brooks, director the Ayn Rand Institute, said the bailouts were "national socialism of the financial markets." In contrast, Ryan voted for the bank bailouts. He broke with party leadership and the majority of his fellow republicans by voting for the auto bailouts. He supported TARP.
Rand famously opposed government welfare and social insurance. Ryan voted for Medicare Part D, which subsidizes prescription drugs for seniors. Thus, Ryan was instrumental in producing the largest expansion of the welfare state since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.
Ryan supported the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The Watson Institute at Brown University estimates that these wars have already cost the federal government $3-4 trillion. These wars will be paid for by taxes, which Ayn Rand regarded as theft. Rand opposed having the US act as the world's policeman.
Ryan has a reputation as a hardcore budget cutter, but the House Committee on the Budget says his budget plan would still allow the federal budget to grow at over 3% a year. If Ryan's plan would balance the budget at all, it would do so only by 2040, when our children have grey hair. So much for a Randian small government.
Libertarians like Rand believe immigration restrictions expose the world's poor to abuse and exploitation, and condemn them to poverty and death. (Rand herself may have been an illegal immigrant.) In contrast, Ryan voted against the Dream Act. He voted in favor of making the border more secure and of expanding the fence on the Mexican border.
Rand, an ardent opponent of totalitarianism, would have hated the Patriot Act. Ryan voted in favor of the Patriot Act and supports making it permanent. Rand would have opposed creating the Department of Homeland Security, which Ryan helped create.
Libertarians like Rand are famous for their "legalize everything" opposition to the War on Drugs. Paul Ryan is a drug warrior.
On social issues, Ryan's Catholicism dominates his Randianism. Ryan calls himself an "unwavering foe of abortion rights" and co-sponsored a bill that would grant full legal rights to fertilized eggs. Ayn Rand said, "Abortion is a moral right — which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered." She said that for many of the struggling poor, "pregnancy is a death sentence… [which would] condemn them to a life of hopeless drudgery, of slavery to a child's physical and financial needs." She would say of Ryan what she said of Reagan, i.e., that Ryan threatens to "to take us back to the Middle Ages, via the unconstitutional union of religion and politics."
Paul Ryan votes like a neoconservative, not a Randian. Neoconservatives, such as George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, talk the small government talk but walk the large government walk. They charge the US government with exporting democracy and the American way of life to the rest of the world. They charge the government with guarding the moral and sexual virtue of citizens. They want government to champion and support big business.
If you want to be scared by Paul Ryan, be scared of what he does, not what he says.

[...] I comment on the OUP press blog here. [...]
Just a quick note that you should update your e-mail on your personal page! I tried sending you a note thanking you for your work at BHL and everywhere else but your Brown e-mail address was invalid.
Also, great post here. The attempts to link Paul Ryan to libertarianism over the last couple weeks have been relentless and intellectually dishonest. Work like this helps set the record straight. Ryan is no libertarian.
[...] of my favorite political philosophers, Jason Brennan, writes a very clear argument for why Paul Ryan should not be considered, as I saw in the comment thread on a CNN post earlier [...]
Given how much Rand hated libertarians, I shudder to imagine what a "Randian libertarian" would be…
[...] Paul Ryan is a disciple of Ayn Rand. He credits the author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as the person most responsible for inspiring him to get into politics. Rand's celebration of heroic entrepreneurs and demonization of government and bureaucrats finds expression today in the Republican elevation of "job creators" as our indispensable driving economic force, people who must be fed a steady diet of tax cuts to be productive. [...]
come on , Ayn Rand herself was a neocon . She's what we call an infiltrator . Shes one of those people within conservatism who claim to oppose neoconservatism and support paleo conservatives , but its a fraud . She is a neocon who opposes neoconservatism , but only because its NOT NEOCONSERVATIVE ENOUGH ! The purpose of the Randians is to oppose Neoconservatism and pretend to support Paleoconservatism , to trick the paleocons into following them . From there , The Randians push Neoconservatism further and further away from Paleo-conservatism , and make it more and more tyrannical . You know who were also basically no different than the Randians ? The Trotskyites . The Trotskyites saw the nonsense that Nixon and his minions were doing – how they were turning true conservatism into faux , big government conversatism . And so they opposed this fake conservatism , and pretended to support true conservatism . But their opposition to Nixon wanst that he was too Neocon . He was not neocon enough . So the Trotskyites duped the libertarians and paleocons into supporting them , and opposed Nixonian conservatism only to make a form even worse . Enter Reagan and Bush , the Trotskyite puppets .
Randians will only " Solve the Bush problem " in the same way Trotskyites " solved the nixon problem " by installing Reagan and Bush . Problem – Reaction – Solution . Typical Elitist/Illuminati hegelian mindgame . Randians only oppose neocons to support an even worse form of Neocons . Hey , what can you expect from Atheistic , Apathetic people who care about themselves and their own self gratification and nothing about others and the right thing ? Its no different then the new agers and luciferians . " Me , me , me all the time , no right thing , no morality , its all about me and my self gratification " . Absolutely disgusting .
Ryan is a Randian . But Rand is no libertarian . So neither is Ryan .

At a hastily organized press conference on Capitol Hill last week, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's (D-DC), D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and other D.C. anti-gun advocates and activists blasted conservative Republicans in Congress for supporting efforts to weaken the city's gun laws.
They were joined by Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Chief Alfred Durham, representatives from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and DC Vote to discuss an amendment to block D.C. from enforcing its gun laws.
Earlier this month, leaders in Washington DC urged their residents to boycott Ocean City and the Eastern Shore, which are represented by Maryland 1st District Republican Congressman Andy Harris.
Earlier this month, Harris attached an amendment to the District of Columbia appropriations bill that would bar the city from using any city funds from enforcing its marijuana decriminalization law
All city laws are subject ot the approval of Congress.
WASHINGTON (NewsChannel 8) - For years, "taxation without representation" has been a rallying cry for activists upset over Washington's lack of a vote in Congress. Thursday, those activists brought their message to Capitol Hill.
"D.C. residents have no representation in Congress, we pay federal taxes, we fight and die in wars, but we have no vote and no voice," said Kimberly Perry, executive director for D.C. Vote.
D.C. Vote is an organization committed to getting the District of Columbia representation on the federal level.
Last week, President Barack Obama expressed his support for D.C. statehood, while also noting, "The politics of it end up being difficult to get it through Congress, but I think it's absolutely the right thing to do." Rep. John Mica, a Republican member of the House Oversight committee, proved the president's point yesterday while also insulting him.
A feisty crowd paid a visit to the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Andy Harris Thursday morning, ostensibly to bring their local complaints to the federal lawmaker.
The activists were upset about a budget rider Harris attached to a spending bill that would block marijuana decriminalization in the nation's capital and Harris' subsequent explanation to WAMU that for D.C. residents "Congress is their local legislature." Building on that remark, the local advocacy group D.C. Vote urged city residents to give "Councilman" Harris an earful.
Ever since Maryland Representative Andy Harris introduced an amendment to defund D.C.'s marijuana decriminalization bill, local residents' message to Harris has been clear: Stay the hell out of D.C.'s affairs.
Adam Eidinger sat on a couch in Rep. Andy Harris' office talking to the woman working the front desk—who was half listening to him and half trying not to laugh—about all the District residents who travel to Ocean City, Md., only to get ripped off by thoseclaw-crane machines. There's so much cheap booze in Ocean City, Eidinger continued, that people make stupid decisions and waste even more money trying to win elusive prizes in the claw machine.
Nathan Harrington has a problem in his Congress Heights neighborhood: There are too many vacant houses holding down property values and attracting crime, he says, and the city isn't doing enough to fix the problem.
So on Thursday, the 31-year-old teacher decided to seek action in the halls of power. But the halls he chose were not in D.C.'s city hall, the John A. Wilson Building, or in the Southwest offices of city property regulators, but in the Longworth House Office Building.
WASHINGTON — A Senate subcommittee has approved a major spending bill that would grant the District of Columbia full control over its local budget and laws.
The appropriations bill released publicly on Thursday represents a stark contrast to a spending bill approved by the House in terms of its effect on the District. The House version would invalidate the city's strict gun-control policies and bar the District from liberalizing its marijuana laws.
It's been quite a summer for the District's congressional overlords. Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) wants to nip the District's marijuana decriminalization law in the bud, while Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) both want to eliminate the District's gun laws.

Fifty years ago, some 250,000 men and women banded together for the fight against injustice and prejudice. Fifty years ago, they gathered on Washington DC, by the busloads from Harlem and Alabama, by plane, and train, and automobile from all across the nation. Fifty years ago, they marched under the banner of Jobs and Freedom, united for equality. Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King Junior stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his dream with the gathered crowd and the entire world.
The immediate effect of the march resonated in the subsequent passing of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act in the following two years. The lasting effect continues to this day, as the struggle for civil rights, equality, and freedom for all did not end in the sixties. In celebration of this momentous anniversary, there are some events today at the Martin Luther King library.
From 2:00-3:00 pm there will be a "Make Your Own Dream Bracelet" activity for children seven and up. String glass beads on a memory wire while making special wishes to the world!
From 6:00-7:00 pm there is a, "I Have a Dream" Open Mic Night, an all-ages event where patrons can perform a song, music piece, dance routine, share some thoughts, or read a poem to express their dream or to reflect on Dr. King's legacy. In addition, guest speaker Nancy Torphy, a participant of the March on Washington, will discuss her memories of attending the March. All ages are welcome to attend this family event. Performers can sign up with a librarian on the day of the event.

John's mother is disclosed in book #4 IIRC. I don't know why they're including Dany in the season ending episode as there's so much going on in King's Landing. The death of one of the major players (which happens in the book) would make a great season ending exclamation mark !
Got to sign off now as I feel the urge to disclose major spoilers . . . .

- Description
DYMATIZE® ELITE CASEIN XT provides 24 grams of slow digesting casein protein per serving. ELITE CASEIN XT is specifically designed to digest more slowly in your body than other rapid release protein sources such as whey. This slow digestion is a result of the natural pH sensitivity of Casin Protein in the digestive track. Because of the natural thickening effect of ELITE CASEIN XT in the low pH environment of the stomach, a prolonged and steady release of protein is obtained. This delayed digestion is often desirable, especially at bedtime or other periods when your body can go for an extended period of hours without food.
ELITE CASEIN XT is further enhanced by the addition of NUTRATERIC®, a revolutionary, pharmaceutically- developed coating system. This delayed release technology allows the specific material it coates to release at a particular pH range. In fact, with this coating process, the resting digestion can take more than twice as long as other forms of non-coated protein, further enhancing the extended release capacity of Dymatize ELITE CASEIN XT.
Each serving of ELITE CASEIN XT. is delicious and satisfying. Due to the naturally hydroscopic nature of casein proteins, ELITE CASEIN XT. is noticeably thicker and smoother than other non-casein based products. ELITE CASEIN XT. is made from only protein sources with a PDCAAS (protein digestibility corrected amino acid)of 1.0 (perfect score) or higher. With 24 grams of Casein-derived protein, and about 10 grams of BCAAs, Glutamine and Precursors teamed with the revolutionary NUTRATERIC® coating, ELITE CASEIN XT. will help you achieve all your fitness goals.

- Health Notes
Casein ProteinCasein ProteinThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:Weight ManagementSee Related Concerns (1)CloseObesityDose: Refer to label instructionsCasein protein in milk may aid weight loss due to its effect on appetite, calorie burning, and body composition.

In another controlled trial, overweight men were given a low-calorie diet along with a weight training exercise plan for three months. Men who followed this plan and also took 1.5 grams per day of predigested casein protein per 2.2 lbs body weight lost a similar amount of weight as did men using a similar amount of whey protein along with the same diet and exercise plan. However, the men using casein protein gained more lean body mass and lost more body fat than the men using whey protein.4References

However, in two double blind trials, measurements of muscle protein synthesis after leg exercises were similar whether casein or whey protein (either 20 grams or 0.3 grams per 2.2 lbs body weight taken one hour after exercise) was consumed. Other double blind studies have shown that adding protein supplements to a weight-training program improves gains in muscle mass and strength, but only one trial has compared using casein alone to other proteins for improving body composition and muscle strength. In this controlled trial, overweight men were given a low-calorie diet along with a weight training exercise plan for three months. Men who followed this plan and also took 1.5 grams per day of predigested casein protein per 2.2 lbs body weight gained more strength and lean body mass, and lost more body fat than did men using a similar amount of whey protein along with the same diet and exercise plan.ReferencesCasein is the main protein found in milk. Similar to other animal proteins, casein is a complete protein, providing generous amounts of essential amino acids.1 However, it is digested more slowly than most other animal proteins, resulting in a more prolonged release of amino acids into the bloodstream.2

Wal-Mart, Macy's key a big week ahead for stocks
Earnings from the big retailers and Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Target will signal if the big rally since October can continue. European financial ministers and Greece agree on terms of a rescue package. Rising oil prices are a threat.
When U.S. financial markets reopen Tuesday after the President's Day weekend, the stars have apparently lined up for stocks to move higher.
European finance ministers and Greece's government agreed on terms for a $171.9 billion bailout package for the troubled nation. There is, however, deep skepticism that the austerity package that Greece is being forced to accept will work. (There's also skepticism the program will really be enacted.)
There's hope that the U.S. economy will continue to strengthen. The signals that investors will be looking for will come from earnings reports more than economic reports. Reports due this week include results from Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), Macy's (M), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), Target (TGT) and Newmont Mining (NEM).
It's not clear how investors are looking at rising oil and gasoline prices because of the tensions over Iran's nuclear program. The cynic would say investors are delusional that high oil prices won't hurt. Crude oil (-CL) finished Friday at $103.60 a barrel and moved above $105 in electronic trading on Monday. AAA said the national price for regular unleaded gasoline was $3.565 a gallon, up 8.8% this year and up 12.5% from a year ago.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) finished last week at 12,950, the best close for the blue chips since May 19, 2008. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) closed at 1,361, the best finish for the index since April 2011. The Nasdaq Composite Index's ($COMPX) finish at 2,951.78 was its best close since December 2000. The Greek situation was up in the air until nearly dawn on Tuesday. Dutch officials wanted more direct outside control of Greek government spending. And there were debates on how much private investors will be required to write off on the value of the Greek bonds they own.
The deal apparently calls for Greece to reduce its debt to 120.5% of its gross domestic product by 2020; it is 160% now. Greece agreed that debt payments will get first priority in government spending plans.
In addition, there will be a new round of spending and pension cuts and a 22% cut in the minimum wage.
Private bond holders agreed to a 53% cut in the value of their holdings.
What is not clear is how Greece expects to get its economy to grow again. The economy is in its fifth year of recession, and many Greeks have left the country. Bank deposits have shrunk substantially.
Can the big rally continue?
U.S. stocks have enjoyed a huge recovery from the chaos that broke out last year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the never-ending European debt crisis, the Arab spring and political battles in the United States.
The major indexes are up about 25% from their intraday lows in October. Apple (AAPL) is up 41.7%. Microsoft (MSFT) has added 28.8%. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
The Dow has been flirting with 13,000, a level not seen since the spring of 2008. The S&P 500 is trying to move past 1,370, last reached in April 2011.
The gains since October have been so strong that a pullback has become basically inevitable. What's not known is what will cause it.
The best bet is higher oil and gas prices dampening consumer spending. That would mean one would start to see the effect with auto sales and then home sales.
There are indications home sales are bottoming. Inventories of homes for sale around Sarasota, Fla., are below a six months' supply -- a signal of a tightening market.
So if gasoline and oil prices are to dampen economic expectations, look for spring. That could suggest a rocky summer for markets.
Here's how the the week shapes up:
Earnings will dominate the U.S. chatter
This is the time of the earnings cycle where companies most exposed to direct consumer spending report results.
Tuesday is the big day day, with reports due from Dell, Home Depot, Hecla Mining (HL), La-Z-Boy (LZB), Macy's and Wal-Mart. Listen closely to how the companies describe current demand and their expectations for the next few months.
Wednesday: Boston Beer (SAM), Hewlett-Packard, Chico's FAS (CHS), TJX Companies (TJX), the parent of T.J. Maxx.
Thursday: American International Group (AIG), Crocs (CROX), Gap (GPS), Kohl's (KSS) and Target (TGT) and doughnut retailer Tim Horton's (THI).
Friday: J.C. Penney (JCP), Newmont Mining (NEM) and Tree.com (TREE), parent of online lender Lending Tree.
Housing will dominate the economic reports
The National Association of Realtors will estimate existing-home sales for January on Wednesday. Nomura Securities is projecting an annualized sales rate of 4.765 million units, which would be the best sales rate since 2009.
On Friday, the Commerce Department will report on new-home sales. The expectation is for sales to approach 400,000 units. Single-family starts may hit 312,000 on an annualized basis, a bit of an improvement.
Also due are weekly reports of chain-store sales on Wednesday and the weekly report on jobless claims on Thursday. Jobless claims have been running at their lowest levels since 2008.
The University of Michigan will issue its final consumer sentiment report on Friday. Gas prices may weigh on the index.
zak, truly just trying to be helpful - yours is a very narrow, naive viewpoint of the stock markets. the nas and the nyse are free-markets that react to a huge variety of daily inputs and hundreds of millions of shares (more often over a billion shares) traded by millions of different mutual funds, custodians, individuals, banks, brokerage firms, trust departments, brokers, pension fund managers and other institutional persons and entities. in the large liquid stocks there is no significant manipulation over the long-term although that can certainly occur on a daily or short-term basis with due to false rumors, market cornering attempts, shorting, etc.
many of the large banks and hedge fund managers are also "wrong" on many occasions - just look at the heavy shorting of netflix last year while it shot up 75%. just invest prudently for the long term, go with savings for the short term, and go work in the garden most of the time or read books and get away from reading all this "noise" every day. people like me only do it because we have to for a living.
have a good one.

P.S. I called nurse Ratched and told her where you all were. Hopefully upon my return, she will have rounded you all up and taken you back to your looney bins.
Farewell bozos!
Having never served in the military, I have relied on top quality history coursework and extensive reading to understand the rise of the 3rd reich in Germany as a result of stupid decisions by the Allies and forced austerity on an impoverished, vanquished nation that engendered and nurtured an environment suitable for the success of a fascist madman like Adolf Hitler. Thankfully the United Nations and the Holocaust Laws and Museums now assures us that history will not repeat itself, and we as a nation, with our right to bear arms will definitely never get to that stage, especially with the free democratic election process that guarantees that the best man wins based on a national consensus (in this case an intelligent black man to serve as US commander and as a change agent and a Nobel Peace Prize winner to boot) along with our great system of checks and balances by the three branches of government. Like it or not, we must suffer through those among us out there on the fringe who hope for worst-case scenarios to play out their personal, skewed, pessimistic and faith-deprived world views.

HOUSTON - The Texas agency responsible for fighting wildfires has asked the state Legislature for an additional $27.2 million to add some 90 firefighters and buy equipment as it faces the threat of more devastating fires in the future.
Texas A&M Forest Service official Robby DeWitt says the additional funds are necessary because the agency had to bring in more expensive out-of-state crews nationwide in 2011 to help battle the worst wildfire season in state history.
The House has recommended providing the agency with the same level of funding it received for 2012-13. The Senate has proposed providing at least the additional funds the agency needs to expand. The final bill will likely look different from both of those.

South Park: The Stick of Truth absolutely nails it. It's the perfect combination of hilarious South Park content woven into an ultra-satisfying, turn-based RPG.
While it may not reach the pinnacle of other next-gen sports games, MLB 14 The Show is a solid effort that brings just enough new exciting bits to the PS4 experience.
Controversial startup MonkeyParking has halted operations in San Francisco after a cease-and-desist letter from the City Attorney's Office.
Is there anything that can make the theme song from "Jurassic Park" better? I didn't think so, but then Jurassic Goat happened.
A virtual version of South Park may be as close as fans will ever get to visiting the fictional town and interacting with its cheeky residents.
Park rangers say unmanned aerial vehicles have disturbed wildlife across the country's public lands and waterways, including the bighorn sheep of Zion, seals in Monterey Bay, and peregrine falcons in Yosemite.
Some benches in Boston parks offer more than a place to sit. They also charge your gadgets, track noise levels, and watch the weather.
City attorney says MonkeyParking's business model is illegal and creating a "predatory" market for parking spaces.
Remember that momentous scene in "Jurassic Park" when Dr. Grant and his team first see a living, breathing dinosaur? This is like that, but with a chubby bulldog.
In the early 1990s, a decision to bring dinos alive with the magic of CGI made an irreversible impact on pop culture. Here's what happened.

|ASM-NAYS National Science Communication Challenge
ASM-NAYS National Science Communication Challenge
Announcement: May 31, 2014
"Due to the large number of submissions to the National Science Communication Challenge, ASM and NAYS will be taking a few extra weeks to review and choose finalists. The exhibition of finalists will also be pushed back to a later date. We will keep you updated with any new details through the ASM and NAYS websites."
The National Science Communication Challenge is an opportunity to develop your communication skills and attend an international scientific conference! As scientists, we have a responsibility to educate the public on issues of a scientific nature that directly affect them, such as vaccinations, food safety, and antibiotic resistance. The "Challenge" asks university students to create a new communication tool—such as a video, radio script, or print advertisement—that corrects a common misconception held by the public about science.

The Kansas State Board of Education is the only entity in the state of Kansas that can provide state accreditation to schools. Although there are numerous national school accrediting agencies, these forms of accreditation are not the same as a "State Accredited School."
Any person seeking to open a "state" accredited school in Kansas needs to do the following:
Review the current State Accreditation Regulations in order to determine whether or not it can abide by those regulations. Please contact Vicki Seeger at (785) 368-7356 for more information.
Review all state education statutes impacting schools in Kansas in order to ensure compliance. You may contact Cheryl Whelan at (785) 296-4955 for information on the statutes.
Complete a request for a "School Building Number" in Authenticated Applications. Select Directory from the list of items available. From the menu at the top select School Menu. You will then be able to choose the following options Open, Close, Change Name or Reconfigure. This form goes through an electronic process. You will receive written notification when your request has been approved.
Once a school has been approved for state accreditation, it will be considered a Candidate School. It will hold this status during the first year. At that time, and for all subsequent years, accreditation status will be determined based on both quality and performance accreditation standards as defined in the Quality Performance Accreditation Regulations.

Your business sign says a lot about you and your company; it's your brand. The more you use it, the more people will recognize you. Unfortunately, many small and medium-sized businesses don't understand the value of taking physical business signage and translating it to the web.
You've already paid for the custom design, so you should use it. In the end, it'll only improve your brand.
It's Your Website Banner
The most obvious place to use a representation of your physical signage online is your website. A web developer and designer can create a duplicate of your business sign and put it on your website, which creates congruency between your offline and online business.
Related: Work with one of our web design specialists to get started
Chances are you're not moving your company online completely. Your existing customers need to see your sign online so that they know it's you when they come across your website; especially if you're new to the online world.
Social Media Profiles
Social networks like LinkedIn and Facebook are great places to use a replica of your business sign. Users that find you on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or any other social networking site may be confused if your logo is different than the one they've seen at your bricks and mortar location. This is not only beneficial for your customers, but your business as well.
- Reusing your existing logo means that you save yourself time and money in design costs. Since social media is, by nature, social, this is the last place you want to go monkeying around with your business signage.
Email Communications
It's become pretty standard for companies to include their logo in emails. It's an easy way to identify who the email is coming from, confirms that someone from the company is contacting them, and creates one more point of congruency between your physical store and the online world.
Related: 5 Steps to Making Your Email Signature a Marketing Tool
If you plan to do the same, be sure to place the logo at the bottom of every email correspondence. Most email programs have the option of appending a permanent signature to the email message. If your email program allows for this, do it. Once you've appended a signature containing your logo, you don't have to copy and paste anything beyond the first email. Each time you send a new email message, your brand will show up at the bottom of the email.
Online advertisements should always be branded with your logo when appropriate. Some ad platforms do not allow for this, but many do – especially banner advertisements and full-page online ads. If you're ad is showing up in searches and various places across the web, you want to be recognized.
Related: Speak with a PPC vendor to start online marketing the right way
Online companies don't have to worry about moving their physical signage online, but they employ the same kind of branding strategies you've been using for many years at your physical location. Don't think of the Internet as a brand new start for your business branding. It's just another advertising medium like newspapers, magazines, and television. You put your brand everywhere else. Don't forget to put it online.

Question by Roby G: If given the chance, would you think Daphne Blake of Scooby-Doo would cut it as a Super Heroine?
I am currently writing short stories about Daphne becoming a super heroine known as "Fashion Girl"
As Daphne, Fashion Girl has an arsenal of weapons that look like ordinary cosmetics but aren't used for that purpose. Fashion Girl also has super strength and her costume can change to accomodate certain situations such as a rescue at sea, or rescue from a burning building. Fashion Girl also has two assistants named "Tiffany" and "Penney Dillard" who also have their own powers and drives around in a pink Lamborghini known as "The Glam Mobile" and her base of operation called "The Mystique Boutique".
Given this information, would you think Fashion Girl also stands a chance as a possible comic book or TV series?
Check out fanfiction.net, click on cartoons, click Scooby-Doo, and look for the stories under the pen name "Blake's 7″. To check how Daphne would look as Fashion Girl, go to deviantart.com and type "mysteryincfan2″ all one word in the search engine. Thank you in advance!

Biographer Paula Broadwell's book "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," is seen on a desk in Washington,DC on November 14, 2012. Petraeus? surprise resignation as CIA director resulting from an extramarital affair has now spiraled into a complicated story of infidelity, intrigue and politics. Petraeus? admission of an extramarital affair quickly led to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and an examination of her relationship with the decorated war hero. The length of the FBI?s investigation of ?menacing? emails sent to Petraeus? family friend Jill Kelley, and the timing of the announcement of his departure from the Obama administration fueled conspiracy theories. Then Gen. John Allen, Petraeus? successor as military commander in Afghanistan, was embroiled in the scandal, accused by US officials of sending ?inappropriate? emails to Kelley.

NEW YORK — A few years ago, Tracy Letts was at the Broadway rehearsal of a play he'd written when he noticed some of the younger actors slacking off. Letts pulled them aside.

California became the first state in the nation to end disputed therapies aimed at changing a minor's sexual orientation when Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1172 into law on Saturday.
The bill was introduced by Sen. Ted W. Lieu, who represents District 28, which includes many South Bay and Westside communities.
"No one should stand idly by while children are being psychological abused, and anyone who forces a child to try to change their sexual orientation must understand this is unacceptable," Lieu said in a statement. "Governor Brown should be commended for protecting LGBT youth by ending this type of quackery."
The news was the subject of a front page story by the New York Times Sunday, which said that over the last few decades, some psychologists have practiced a theory of "reparative therapy," which ties homosexuality to emotional wounds in early childhood or to early sexual abuse. Reparative therapists offer a "cure" for homosexuality using practices that have been increasingly criticized by the gay community and many mental health organizations.
"This bill bans nonscientific 'therapies' that have driven young people to depression and suicide," Brown said in a statement on Saturday, according to the Times. "These practices have no basis in science or medicine, and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery."
Effective Jan. 1, the law will prohibit children under 18 from undergoing sexual orientation-change efforts, according to a press release issued by Lieu.
According to the Times, the bill has been opposed by reparative therapists, who united in 1992 to form the National Association for Research and Therapy on Homosexuality, which is based in Encino. The group posted a statement on its website on Aug. 15 that said Lieu's claims "represent rhetoric, not research."
Lieu's press release said the law was based on the following:
- An individual's sexual orientation, whether homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual, is not a disease, disorder, illness, deficiency or shortcoming.
- Sexual orientation change efforts pose critical health threats to lesbian, gay and bisexual people, including confusion, depression, guilt, hopelessness, shame, suicide, self-hatred, decreased self-esteem and a host of anger, dysfunction and dehumanized feelings.
- There is insufficient evidence that any type of psychotherapy can change a person's sexual orientation. Instead, abusive attempts to change sexual orientation in some cases have caused serious and lasting harm.
- Dr. Robert Spitzer, who earlier submitted a flawed study purporting to show reparative therapy may work, renounced his study this year and apologized to the LGBT community.
"If anyone had any doubts such practices were evil, they need only listen to accounts of victims who went through this abusive practice," Lieu said in a statement. "Some victims, such as Kirk Murphy, committed suicide. This law is partly in remembrance of Kirk."
Lieu represents District 28, which includes the Southern California communities of Long Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Marina del Rey, Venice, Mar Vista, Brentwood, Westwood and Century City. As a result of redistricting, Liu will soon also represent District 26, which will also include the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Santa Monica.

Districts may use funds for campus-level or district-wide initiatives for students in grades 6-12. Allowable uses include:
Please see Commissioner's Rules Concerning High School Allotment for detailed allowable uses of these funds.
A self-nomination process was established to recognize districts for exceptional programs/strategies implemented with the use of allotment funds. Examples of strategies and activities recognized during the past five years include::
Press Releases
Districts are not required to report on the use of High School Allotment funds; however,TEA's former Office for Planning, Grants and Evaluation released a report based on first-year uses of the High School Allotment Funds (2006-07 School Year).
Funds are distributed to districts as part of regularly scheduled Foundation School Program payments.

OS X Mavericks Preview: Maps help you find your way, integrates with iOS
The Maps app in iOS is an indispensable tool, whether you're traveling in familiar territory or exploring a new place. Now, for the first time, Maps is coming to OS X when Mavericks bows this fall. Will it keep you from getting lost?
Certainly, OS X is no stranger to map applications or web sites - almost all of us have opened up Google Maps or another similar service in our web browser, when you're trying to find a way from Point A to Point B or anywhere in between. But Maps as a standalone application from Apple has been a no-show. That's changing when OS X Mavericks hits the streets later this year.
Maps in Mavericks looks and acts very much like its iOS counterpart. In fact, it uses the same datasets. The difference is in the size of the screen you're looking at it on, the speed of the network you're downloading data from (Wi-Fi, versus whatever your cell service provider has available), and the rendering power of the computer behind it.
The three of those things combined make Maps on Mavericks a real pleasure to use. When you zoom in to an area, it very quickly renders and populates with points of interest, and it's lightning-fast to respond to search queries too.
Opening the Maps application should look instantly familiar to anyone who's used it on iOS. You can pinpoint your location, look at your surrounds in a 2D view, switch to 3D if you prefer, or combine satellite and 3D imagery to use the "Flyover" feature Apple pioneered in iOS 6, where cityscapes are rendered in photo-realistic 3D.
A Search field lets you find specific addresses, but it can be also used to find points of interest. So if you want to locate a restaurant, museum or shop near you, enter whatever info you're looking to search on and Maps will try to locate something nearby.
Once you've plotted the location of your destination, You can add it to your Bookmarks list (synced between the maps apps of any other OS X or iOS devices connected through iCloud), get directions or add it to your Contacts database. You can also link to Yelp, if you're interested in checking out reviews from other customers before you go.
Like Maps on iOS, Maps for Mavericks provides point to point directions, and will show you real-time traffic conditions. If traffic's bad, Maps can suggest alternate routes. Once you've got your route plotted out, you can send them in a message, e-mail the information, post it to Twitter or Facebook if you've connected those services, add it to Contacts, bookmark it, or send it to your iPhone.
Maps also introduces some much-welcome support for mapping functions into other applications. Take Calendar, for example: Now when you type in an address for a new appointment, Calendar uses that map data to locate the address, show you a thumbnail map (which opens the Maps app) and can even pad your schedule with travel time.
Maps illustrates a couple of very important points that Apple isn't stating directly but wants to underscore. One is that Maps integrates really well into other Mavericks apps, like Contacts and Calendar. Presumably, there will be other ways to integrate that connectivity into other apps, too, because like iOS Maps, Maps in Mavericks doesn't directly support mass transit travel information.
Secondly, Maps does its best to erase the division between iOS and OS X. You can send map data to your phone, for example. And bookmarking a map in the Maps app will sync that bookmark to the Maps app on any other device, iOS or OS X, connected via iCloud.
Some pundits were afraid of the "iOSification" of OS X, but this proves that managed thoughtfully, Apple just makes data and applications work together regardless of platform, and that's great for the increasing number of users who have both Macs and iOS devices, and want things to just work.
When OS X Mavericks is released, will you use the Maps app? Do you think this cross-integration between iOS and OS X is a good thing? Tell me your thoughts in the comments. And please click these links for more Mavericks info.
There are 7 comments. Add yours.
Yay, and about time!
I am much less concerned with the "look and feel" iOS-ification of OSX, and more concerned with the "why can I do it on my iPhone, but not on my Mac" based issues. My hope with this is that Apple starts to open up the incoming and outgoing APIs on both OSX and iOS service apps (like Maps, Contacts, etc.) in a common way, so that 3rd-party apps that are written for either platform can be used to get the same results on both.
The easiest example is Contacts. My iPhone points at whatever-email-i-use and it just works. I still have duplicate contacts for iCloud, gmail, and my work email because of the differences in configuration between my iPhone and my Mac. The fact that I have to know the difference between CardDAV and LDAP in order to set it up is the problem. Make it easy. Make it work.
Personally I love the integration, but with maps on iOS hate the fact you can't plan a route with more than 2 way points.
If you can't plan a trip on maps on osx I won't use it at all - is it possible?
I really really want to start using Maps but, as much as it hurts me to admit it, they're years away from being anywhere as good as Google Maps. The iOS app almost always locates me incorrectly as well as sends me to the wrong place (it happened twice in one day recently). What is more annoying is the really bad results when searching for a point of interest. Google tends to get it right 9 out of 10 times in comparison to Apple's 1 out of 10 times which makes the choice a no-brainer.
This is a feature previewed on Android in 2010, but as it was browser based it had the intelligence to open a link in the appropriate handset app.
I accept that Apple have a reputation for polishing, marketing & productising the experiments of others, but this is a niece feature, and realistically even Mac OS users will opt for Google Maps in a browser, because it has a better mapping engine, even if the native app skin of Apple Maps improves certain elements of the UX.
