The Office Management is great, the lease terms are available in 4 months, 6 months, 8 months, etc. for a very Read More reasonable minor higher cost than a 1-year lease. Their maintenance staff is very responsive but unfortunately understaffed by at least 1 or 2 people at any given point in time. The apartments are decent. Only disadvantage we faced was breaking the lease was pretty much impossible, meaning you have to live there for 4 months, then give 30 days notice and pay 2 months penalty...

My apartment in particular seems to have little soundproofing. I can hear voices from neighboring apartments Read More(just general conversation, not shouting), I've had neighbors ask me to turn my music down when playing music through my tiny computer speakers, and the heating and plumbing systems seem to be particularly loud (I hear water flushing through pipes, clicking and clacking within the walls when the heater kicks on). Other than that, pretty satisfied with the community.

NASA and Chrysler team up on advanced technologies
By Gizmag Team
April 14, 2010
Chrysler Group LLC and NASA have announced a three year alliance that will see the companies swapping notes on cutting edge technologies such as materials engineering and robotics.
The two companies share a history of collaboration. During the 1960s Chrysler built Redstone rockets for the Mercury Project and the boosters which helped put the first two Apollo spacecraft into Earth orbit.
Project teams that include technical specialists from each company have already been set-up, and Chrysler says it has already benefited from shared research on reliable surface navigation sensors.
"The investment in NASA technologies has led to hundreds of applications here on Earth for several decades now, and this collaboration with Chrysler promises to continue that tradition," said Mike Coats, director of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Cross-pollination of ideas will also take place in areas such as wireless technology, radar, battery systems and other energy storage mediums. The goal of the non-reimbursable Space Act Agreement agreement is to leverage each organization's skills and expertise in these areas, but we're not likely to see a sub-orbital family car on the market anytime soon.Share
The new "Mars K-Rover" will have "Rich Corinthian Leather"...

So how much does marble actually stain? See link.
Hi all,
Because I am TKO, even though I'm getting soapstone counters, I was reading about marble last night.
Those of you with old houses might be familiar with the Petch House Blog. Anyhoo, the owner of that house set out to do some fierce testing on marble, and he concludes that marble staining is actually a myth. While his untreated marble ended up grayish after all his tests, he said that was just from the absorption of water, and that after it dried out, it looked the same as his treated sample.
Lots of good phtos included in his blog. I think he went with an untreated island.
What do you think? Myth?
Here is a link that might be useful: Fun with marble (and wine, tomatoes, limes, etc.)
Marble types vary in density, porosity, mineral content, and various other properties of stone. So, they will vary as to staining. If you read what many of us have posted regarding our marble, we often say that our marble does not stain, but it does etch. I really cannot tell if the one in the blog link etched or not, as the stone usually has to be viewed from an angle in order to perceive the etch. Also, staining may be more likely if you leave the offender on for a long time on an unsealed stone. My marble is a Greek white and it has never stained, but it certainly etches!
Is your marble unsealed?
The "Petch dude" wasn't concerned with etching, he was mainly only concerned about stains. I couldn't tell if his sample etched from the photos, but after leaving limes on it for hours, I would think it would have etched.
Someone posted a few days ago wondering if she could leave her marble unsealed but not have too much staining (again, she didn't care about etching). Maybe this will give her hope!
Anyhoo...interesting stuff!
Not a myth. My marble hasn't stained, but I know my fabricator got into the stone business after seeing stone in a number of applications in Europe -- including stained marble in a French kitchen. He did say the stains were not that significant, but they were there. I think the scare stories about marble have more to do with businesses trying to protect themselves from demands for refunds, etc. when folks decide they can't live with the impoerfections they thought would be no big deal.
My marble was unsealed for fourteen months. I read so much about the need to seal marble on Gardenweb, which I became aware of one year after finishing the house, that I sealed it then. Sealing is supposed to allow you a bit more delay in cleaning up spills, but I'm not sure that anything has stayed on my counter long enough to see a difference. Oh, wait, someone left a gooey drop of coffee mixed with cream and sugar overnight and nothing happened. I'm not someone who loves perfection--in fact, I prefer things to look a bit spontaneous, so a few stains, etches, etc. wouldn't bother me that much, anyway. One large stain that interfered with the aesthetic of the stone would bug me though.
LOL, that was a great read. Entertaining as well as accurate. His constant encounters with the statement "Marble is a soft stone and stains easily" reminds me of the movie A Christmas Story when everyone keeps telling Ralphie "You'll shoot your eye out".
The kids once spilled soy sauce on a piece of gray marble I used to use to roll out dough. I was out of town, so I'm guessing the goopy sauce was on the stone for close to a week. It ate a hole about 3" x 5" with raggedy edges in the stone, but it didn't stain it.
I have had several antique pieces of marble in my day (I've bought and sold more antiques than any normal person should heh heh) and some of them did have stains on them. They were all victorian, so they'd long since lost any shine they had to their surface (if they ever did have one) but all in all, while they did have some staining (the most common was a round circle...potted plants most likely) they were still lovely pieces of marble. Even that could be cleaned off or significantly lightened with an acid paste.
My worry about marble was grease. I am thinking of using it around a stove and don't want huge grease spots on it. I suppose I'll just have to test a few samples and see how much marble loves olive oil :)
Is Carrera Marble generic? If so, I wonder if some carrera marbles are less likely to stain? I think that is what the Petch guy has.
If anyone has Bungalow Kitchens, there are many photos of an old house in SoCal that has these amazing marble counters. They look like Carrera-turned-gray, which I always assumed they were. But maybe they started out gray? I use them as my model for how gorgeous patina can be.
Carrara marble is mined near the town of Carrara in northern Italy, not far from Florence. It's probably the most "famous" marble because Michelangelo used to go there and quarry his own pieces (he was picky). I couldn't tell you whether the name is used in the industry specifically for this marble, or if it's used a little more generically. In Italy it's understood to mean the real thing. In this country it's almost always pronounced "Carrera" -- not sure if this is an attempt to sound like the real thing without actually being the real thing, or simply a mispronunciation.
So did I spell it wrong? I actually looked it up first, b/c I wanted to get it right. When I googled, I got all sorts of links to marble companies with "Carrera" in their name, and the Kohler website also spells it Carrera. Which is correct if one is in the US?
It should be "Carrara," but it's often misspelled, so it's good to look under both. Many white Italian marbles come from Carrara; Bill had a post on this once. Some with different names sometimes even come from the same quarry, or at least region. Statuario, Venatino, Calacatta, Bianco Carrara. There is much obscurantist nomenclature among stone vendors, so if origin is important to you, it behooves you to find a scrupulously honest and knowledgeable source. One thing about staining--some white marbles contain iron which can oxidize under the influence of water or unseen moisture. This results in rust within the stone that shows up as a yellowish or orange stain that is actually part of the stone itself and not amenable to removal by poultices, etc.
My sealed carrara master bath vanity stained very quickly: the culprit was "shea butter" variety of softsoap. It doesn't bother me much, as it is just more grey splotches, but I can see that it might be an issue for some.
Just in case any one is wondering, my white marble kitchen island is holding up well. I guess it has been about 2 years now, and I don't baby it in the least. It is the main surface for all food prep and where I serve drinks when I have a party. I am not a clean freak in any way.
To date, there is not one stain or blemish on it. It has lost its original shine, but this was not a high polish to begin with. I think it would have been called honed. I did seal it again a few weeks ago, but really, it could have gone longer. It is a fairly simple process that takes about 30 minutes. Actually, only about 10 minutes of work, because most of the time the sealer just sits there and you don't need to do anything.
I use the Stone Tech Professional that I wrote about in my blog entry. They say every 3 to 5 years. I've since installed more white marble in the mudroom and bathroom, and I have the original marble from 1895 in the upstairs bathroom. I even have a marble threshold going from the kitchen to the mudroom.
Don't be afraid to use marble. It is a beautiful stone, and if sealed properly can take decades of use and abuse.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Petch House
Oh no, the plan all along was to seal it. That is what started the whole fiasco of everyone telling me how easily marble stains. Everything stains - yes, even granite. And yes, most people seal granite, and slate, and just about any other stone.
I did not seal the marble in the bathroom or mudroom, though. I don't think that really needs it, as it won't be used in the same way the kitchen marble will. As my little test proved, even unsealed marble can withstand more than a lot of people think it can.
And, thank you for the nice compliments on my home and blog. Its been a heck of a ride!
Just as annoying as the pronouncements about marble are the pronouncements about how granite always stains.
In my experience "granite" includes a lot more different materials than "marble" and it's possible, even easy, to select a granite that does not need to be sealed and will not stain or etch.
My experience is in agreement with people who actually have marble - I've got it, a lot of it, in a bathroom and it looks great and I don't pamper it.
Greg, thanks for the blog, and the experiments :) Very amusing and informative :) I especially liked the "it's rock!" Whenever I need to assemble something like a chair I do it in my marble tiled entry hall. I paint in there too. People are aghast, but as you say.
What I learned from your experiments is that marble *is* too soft for my kitchen counters no matter how pretty it is. My marble lavatory tops don't get the kind of use my kitchen counters do. It would bug the heck out of me if I got those little nicks after my brother banged on it with a butter knife. But the marble floor is really hard comparded to the "hard" wood in the rest of the house. :D
Thanks again for the info.
While the marble did seem to fail the chip test, you should know that I had to smack that very, very hard with the cutting edge of the knife, and with that the marks were minor. Casual hitting of the marble with a knife would not leave marks.
Honestly, a child with a knife would have a hard time using the force I did to be able to leave marks. And if anyone is concerned about a child with a knife damaging their counter tops, I think the issue of a child with a knife should be your main concern.
Thanks, but my brother is 50! LOL!! He just expends nervous energy by banging stuff. I don't know if he'd do it hard enough to leave marks but I don't want to worry about it.
Actually, I've had stone before, a low grade marble, and had pretty much decided on tile (truly hard) for the counters, but am keeping an open mind. What your tests also showed me is that I'd be happy with a white marble baking station. I wouldn't care much about nicks or etching, there but wouldn't want stains :) So thanks again!
My 6 month old Venetian gray tile countertops are stained. I decided on a carrara-type after reading this thread, so o just thought I should update it with my experience. My kitchen is in heavy use, admittedly, as I have 3 small kids and I cook a lot. Over the past 6 months about 10 orange stains have appeared. I still have not figured out where they came from. There is also a small etched spot where I absent mindedly set down a can of tomatoes and it had a drip, as well as a grayish grease spot from a dab of butter. These are negligable. The orange is quite noticeable and I am yet to discover what has caused any of them. I try to baby the counter top and protect it from fruits, veggies, juices, and oils. I keep a big glass cutting board out to use for these items. I try to wipe it up if I see anything spill or drip on the marble. Certainly anything i missed would be wiped up later the same day. I have never found a piece of food or a spill that caused an orange stain, they seem to appear out of nowhere and then they get darker. I have used a spray on sealer which is apparently worthless.
I'm sorry to revive this, but the orange spot is worth talking about.
Here is what kitchendetective said about it, a little higher up in the thread:
" One thing about staining--some white marbles contain iron which can oxidize under the influence of water or unseen moisture. This results in rust within the stone that shows up as a yellowish or orange stain that is actually part of the stone itself and not amenable to removal by poultices, etc."
hollybop, do all your orange spots look the same? It almost looks as though something you are using in your kitchen is depositing iron on your counter.
This might be the maddest of mad scientist ideas: One thing that might be worth trying on a VERY INCONSPICUOUS spot would be seeing if those rust neutralizer sprays work. I use them on rusty bicycles when I don't want to polish off all the rust. It chemically neutralizes the rust and turns it black. If it works, it wouldn't get rid of the iron, but a grey/black spot might be easier on the eyes than orange. BUT it is after all, a chemical for patio furniture and bicycles and such, so test CAREFULLY if you try it!!!!!!!
If you think it is rust coming through the stone, I would try a gentle buffing with some bar Keeper's Friend. I don't know if it will etch, but the idea would be to lightly buff and not leave it on a long time, but use any etching or buffing to blend in with the existing honing. I have used BKF to take rust marks our of white clothing and it didn't leave a black or grey mark.

|Falkland Islands
|Islas Malvinas
|May 6
Area 12,173 sq.km. 200 islands in three groups: Falkland, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic. The latter island groups have no permanent population and have been a separate UK dependency since 1985. The Falklands are 600 km east of Patagonia in Argentina.
A further 1,000 or so British military personnel and contractors are based on the islands.
Capital Port Stanley 1,700.
British 97%.
Other 3%.
Literacy 99%. Official language English.
A forgotten, sheep-ranching colony until the 1982 war. Development, construction, exploitation of fisheries, and tourism have brought sudden wealth to the islanders. Income/person $29,400 (103% of USA).
Self-governing British Overseas Territory. Argentinian claims on the islands as the Islas Malvinas led to the 1982 War of the South Atlantic. A gradual unfreezing of relationships between British and Argentinians has produced some economic agreements but without tackling the core issue of sovereignty.
Freedom of religion.
Missionaries from Falklands
Missionaries to Falklands
Challenges for Prayer
1 The traumatic Argentinian invasion, and Argentina's subsequent defeat by British forces in 1982, decisively affected the economic, political and spiritual life of the once-complacent Falkland Islanders, or 'Kelpies'. Pray for a wise and fair settlement of the long-standing sovereignty issue that hampers the diplomatic and economic life of the whole region.
2 There are only three significant Protestant denominations among the Islanders (Anglican, Tabernacle United Free Church and Baptist) with a few actively witnessing Christians. Pray for believers in their witness to fellow-islanders and to the oilmen and fishermen of many nationalities who work in the seas around the islands.
3 The British forces based on these bleak, windswept Islands face a lonely, thankless task. Pray for believers in the forces as they witness to their comrades and for the work of Mission to Military Garrisons to bear fruit.

shopping in Iowa
I'm new here, but I've learned so much from other gardenweb sites, I hoped maybe you could help me, please!
I've moved to Iowa City, Iowa, a couple years ago and have been trying to furnish and decorate my home. I love antiques, but really prefer to see things in person before buying. I've gotten stuff off the internet, but you never really know til it gets delivered if the item is really what you want, you know what i mean?
Does anyone know anywhere around here for antiques / vintage items, particularly furniture? I've been to Kalona, but really, it's mostly knick knacks and kitsch, not a whole lot of furniture or decent things. I've eyed a few auctions, but they are much more "miss" than even "hit and miss".
I go to Chicago, but it is a haul (and things are PRICEY!)
Anybody with any suggestions? My poor house is bare!
Thanks for any advice; I'm looking forward to shopping!
I am a little less than 100 miles "up the road" from you.
What sort of antiques are you looking for? Iowa primitive walnut and oak or Victorian walnut and marble?
Your best buying trips will naturally be auctions. Read the newspaper...the CR Gazette, but even better the Des M register's Sunday ads.
Find an auctioneer that you find fair and follow his ads.
Banowetz Antiques in Maquoketa is huge....pricey but if you can't find it there, it's not to be found.
Happy hunting!

Here is a link that might be useful: Shop
Thanks, Linda!
You weren't kidding about the prices at Banowetz! Yowza!
Do they have more than what's on the website? Maybe I'll hike up there tomorrow just to look around.
The hard part is I'm looking for a bunch of different stuff; I like a mix of styles and periods. So typically, i go to a store or site and see a bunch of things all of one style, I get sick of it and end up not getting the one item for my house!
(I'm an AWFUL shopper, but that's a separate issue!)
In particular, I need a few floor lamps. I like older slag lamps or mid century / Nessen / Laurel ones.
I need to get some nightstands for our bedroom - probably something relatively simple / streamlined, preferably walnut or at least coordinating with it as our headboard is plain walnut planks.
I'd love an old marble - topped end table, (saw one on Banowetz' site - 5K!!!)
I'd love to get a few other case pieces or tables - a console table, a nice bookshelf or a couple end tables
At some point, I need to replace our dining furniture, but I'm not sure with what!
I have four dogs, so tend to shy away from "shabby chic"; it ends up just looking trashed!
For outside, I love primitives and old farm stuff (after all, it's Iowa!!!) as well as the classic more formal urns and such. Again, I love the mix!
I also, generally, don't like oak - just one of those things!
Thanks for the suggestions for the CR / DM papers - I didn't know about those and will check them out! Any other suggestions are welcome!
Amana has an amazing shop ... across the street from the meat market .. privately owned and begins with an E. Erlagers ... something like that? For a smalls ... I like Fern Hill in South Amana (i think).
I love the Antique Extravanza in CR. West Branch has one of the best collection of folk art at Main Street Antiques.
Sister's Garden on Rt 1 can be good for small items ... I have gotten some of my favorite pieces there. But it can be hit or miss. I like the Junk Asylum in Park View (near Davenport)... a little more Shabby Chic but I still come home w/ too much.
The Maquoketa Flea market is great sometimes. You missed the last What Cheer flea market of the year. They have one on the first weekend of May, August and October. There used to be a huge flea market on the 4th of July in Solon ... it has gone down in size but still very good.
I have found good antiques in Muscatine. Manley's is good. But go down Rt 61 to Fort Madison if you are up for a drive... shops open and close all the time but I always come home with a full truck!
I live near Davenport ..... and I antique/junk a lot. If you catch my blog (not an advertisement! I don't care who if anyone reads it ... but check my tags for antiques.)
Here is a link that might be useful: Miss Effie's Diary
If you're in for a 3 hour drive, there's a wonderful antique place in Belmond, Iowa. Most of their stuff is "as is" but the prices are reasonable. They go to a lot of antique shows so you'd need to call ahead to be sure they're there.
Email me from my home page if you want some details.
On my list is a couple of places in Osage. I haven't been there yet.
Or http://masoncity.craigslist.org/atq/1983426366.html
There are also a bunch in Clear Lake but I haven't been in them for years. Might be time to revisit.
Hi! I have lived in Iowa City and surrounding areas for almost thirty years. I live in Kalona now. (i agree). My sister and I are into antiques and collectibles. We do a few flea markets (as sellers) during the summer and sell some on Ebay. Anyway, having been in the area for many years, we may be able to help you locate some different items. We have been everywhere! If interested, get in touch. Always nice to meet people with common interests. Have a great day!

Keywords: Cute, dinosaurs, Canada, Chasmosaurine
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The remains are of a baby horned dinosaur called a Chasmosaurine has been uncovered in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. The breed is a distant cousin of the more famous Triceratops.
Discovered by Professor Phil Currie of the University of Alberta, the boffin offered his insights on dinosaurs: "The big ones just preserve better. They don't get eaten, they don't get destroyed by animals. You always hope that you're going to find something small and that it will turn out to be a dinosaur."
Professor Currie and his colleagues estimate that their baby dinosaur was about three years old when it died.
The remains are over 1.5 meters in length, but would have been five meters long and heavier than an Indian elephant had it reached adulthood.
An investigation of the surrounding soil suggested that the dinosaur's final resting place was watery. The poor pipsqueak probably drowned.
"I think it may have just gotten trapped out of its league in terms of water current," Professor Currie says.
Chasmosaurus is a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous Period of North America. Its name means "opening lizard," referring to the large openings in its frill. With a length of 13 to 16 feet and a weight of 2.2 tons, Chasmosaurus was a ceratopsian of average size. Like all ceratopsians, it was purely herbivorous. It was initially to be called Protorosaurus, but this name had been previously published for another animal. All specimens of Chasmosaurus were collected from the Dinosaur Park Formation of the Dinosaur Provincial Park of Alberta, Canada.

Though we never quite understood the standard Mini Paceman, we can certainly understand this: it's the one-off Mini Paceman 'Adventure', and it's a pickup.
Vijay Pattni28 April 2014
The Mini Paceman pickup is here
One-off Paceman 'Adventure' concept lands, suddenly becomes the Paceman you need
Why has this Thing occurred? BMW apprentices at Munich and Dingolfing worked in collaboration with their instructors to build a 'creative vision' for the Mini brand.
So, they took a standard Mini Cooper S Paceman as their base car and chopped off that ungainly rear end - as well as stripping out the rear bench - to create a cargo area. On top there's a solid roof rack that can store a spare wheel. Or maybe a gun turret, if you're equipping it for the impending apocalypse.
The engineers modified the chassis to give it greater ground clearance front and rear, while underneath sits Mini's ALL4 four-wheel-drive system, coupled to a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 184bhp. The standard car will go from 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 132mph. You do the math for this pickup.
"The Mini Paceman Adventure would be suitable for driving on gravel roads, through muddy tracks or on desert trails," Mini tells us. There's even a "snorkel-like" roof-level air intake that, says Mini, would make it ideal for crossing a river.
Elsewhere, you'll find some additional lights on the roof rack, special off-road tyres and 'Jungle Green' metallic paintwork. "There are no plans for series production," Mini says, which is unfortunate. Because when zombies begin their attack on humankind, this could become a handy little thing...

Regulatory Rumblings
Senate Finance Committee Reexamining Tax Reform
Posted: Jun 9, 2014 12:00am ET
On Thursday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Ranking Member Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, confirmed that they are still committed to overhauling the nation's broken tax code through comprehensive reform. In a joint statement, Wyden and Hatch announced three upcoming hearings on issue areas that are "essential to a modern, effective tax code." These hearings include education, ID theft, and corporate tax reform topics and are slated for June and July, although no definitive dates have been set yet.
Wyden and Hatch stated, "When it comes to tax policy, comprehensive tax reform is our ultimate objective, and we are committed to using these hearings as the building blocks to that goal." Chairman Wyden has been a longtime supporter of comprehensive tax reform and has already pushed forward on this goal several times during his four months as Chairman. Most notably, he worked to pass out of his committee a major tax extender package that included 56 provisions not part of the permanent tax code. Following this vote, he stated unequivocally that as long as he was Chairman, these provisions would not pass again without being part of a major tax reform package.
While ANA is strongly in favor of tax reform and the lowering of the corporate tax rate, we believe this effort must be done carefully and thoughtfully. Furthermore, it must not undermine the generation of jobs and economic activity in the U.S.
Unfortunately, the proposals to amortize advertising over five or ten years, which have been put forward in both the House and Senate tax committees, seriously fail to meet these criteria. These proposals, by burdening the effort to sell, would place a substantial drag on the economy.
ANA will continue to fight to protect the viability of advertising. While a comprehensive reform package is unlikely to be passed this year, these new hearings are directed toward creating the foundation for the final tax reform package, and therefore need to be very carefully monitored.
Advertisers' Role in Protecting Location Data Privacy
Posted: Jun 5, 2014 12:00am ET
Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law held a hearing on location data privacy. The hearing focused on a bill sponsored by Senator Al Franken (D-MN) called the "Location Privacy Protection Act of 2014." This bill addresses voluntary location tracking of electronic communications devices, especially "stalking apps" on cellphones. Senator Franken's goal is to help victims of stalking and domestic abuse and to give consumers control over their sensitive information.
While the hearing mainly focused on these so-called "stalking apps," Lou Mastria, Executive Director of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), was given the opportunity to testify on behalf of advertisers and the DAA. While online advertisers do collect data from individuals for interest-based advertising, which allows ads to be targeted to specific interests, Mr. Mastria made the distinction that this data is far different from data collected by "stalking apps" and should be carefully and completely differentiated from it. In regard to location data for commercial purposes, Mr. Mastria stated, "For the collection of precise location data, the DAA program requires consent prior to collection and the provision of an easy to use tool to withdraw such consent."
The centerpiece of Mr. Mastria's testimony was the self-regulatory efforts of the DAA. The DAA was founded by the ANA and a number of other major industry associations to administer and promote self-regulatory principles for online data collection and use. The DAA's principles have already been adopted by a large number of advertisers and others in the ad community for the desktop arena, and the Mobile Guidance program for addressing data practices on mobile or other devices is currently in the roll out process.
There is proof the DAA's efforts are working. The DAA icon is served more than a trillion times a month to alert consumers to the use of interest-based ads. Over 30 million unique Internet users have gone to the DAA website to learn about the program and to have the opportunity to opt-out of having interest-based ads served to them if they don't desire to receive this information. After examining these options, only 3 million people have opted out of the program.
There is a strict enforcement arm to the program as well. To date, the DAA has pursued over 30 investigations against entities engaging in practices that do not adhere to the self-regulatory principles; in the one instance where there was not voluntary compliance, this information was forwarded on to federal regulators for further action.
For our information-driven economy to survive, self-regulation led by industry codes of conduct is the ideal way to balance privacy and innovation. Accountability and enforcement, both key tenets of the DAA program, are best handled through industry self-regulation. Federal legislators must be careful not to stifle the success and growth of online advertising in the push for greater safeguards against unrelated illegal activities.
ANA Joins in Support of Federal Data Breach Legislation
Posted: May 22, 2014 12:00am ET
ANA has joined with fifteen other industry groups to call for Congress to pass federal data breach legislation this year. The industry letter is available here.
High-profile data breaches recently have increased the focus of policymakers and consumers on data security and privacy issues. Several data security bills have been introduced in the Congress and at least five congressional committees have held hearings this year on the most recent breaches. The White House report on "big data" which was released on May 1st called for federal data security legislation. The time has come for Congress to approve a clear federal standard. Data security bills have been introduced for several years and jurisdiction is spread across several congressional committees, however no decisive action has taken place. ANA firmly believes the time for Congressional action is now on this increasingly critical issue. A unified, federal law that preempts the patchwork of 47 inconsistent state laws would help businesses better comply with data breach standards and ensure the safety of customer data.
European Court of Justice Establishes "Right to Be Forgotten" Online
Posted: May 15, 2014 10:30am ET
A surprising and potentially landmark decision dealing with the future of online privacy was handed down by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg earlier this week. The case involved a Spanish national who filed a complaint alleging that when his name was entered into Google, the search results displayed links to two articles from 1998 that discussed the auction of his home, which had been repossessed. He contended that Google should be required to remove or hide the links from appearing in a search request, as the cases were resolved and therefore "irrelevant."
A 1995 EU directive established privacy protections regarding how personal information is processed. It allowed for consumers to request that this data be erased in certain situations. Based on this directive, the European Court of Justice found that Google is a processor and controller of personal information based on its search function and is therefore required, if asked, to remove links to web pages relating to a person from search results, even if the material contained in those links is true.
In determining when such request should be honored, the court found that a "fair balance" should be sought between the interests of free access to information and the privacy rights of individuals. This balance, the court determined, should be tilted towards the individual's right to privacy, except in specific cases based on the nature of the information and the interest of the public having the information (such as if it concerns a public figure). If it is found that the inclusion of such links in a search result is incompatible with the rights of the individual, then a right to be "forgotten" exists and the links should be removed.
The case could have major implications on freedom of expression. It lets individuals determine what is presented in a search request online without regard for truth or falsity. It also interferes with the free expression rights of search engines and online publishers to allow legitimate information to pass to end users. Instead, it would require companies like Google or Twitter to serve basically as censors and remove data whenever the subject of the information asks, even if the information about them is true and lawfully published. The information would still exist, but search providers would be prevented from delivering it. It requires the search engines to determine whether to block access to third-party information to which they are merely providing links, asking them to use their judgment rather than any legal process.
This case also starkly demonstrates the different paths the European Union and the United States are taking on privacy issues. In the United States, such a ruling would most likely never happen due to the strong constitutional protections provided by the First Amendment in favor of free expression. Signals such as these from Europe indicate that the EU may be in the process of taking more strident positions on privacy issues across the board. Advertisers are likely to be drawn in to the debate as the EU moves forward in regard to data privacy and security.
This decision puts many online companies, not just Google, in a precarious position. Will they have to honor European requests to delete information that was lawfully published in the United States? Will Facebook need to "untag" persons in photos that show them engaged in activity they would now prefer to be hidden? How long a period will there need to have passed to make information "irrelevant?" These Solomonic decisions are far from simple. What this decision means for companies that do business in Europe remain to be seen, but is likely to be time consuming, expensive, highly burdensome, and undermine free speech values.
ICANN Delegates First New English Language Top Level Domains
Posted: Nov 11, 2013 12:00am ET
ICANN has released the first nine English-language new Top Level Domains (TLDs). These are not the first new TLDs to be delegated, as four non-Latin script TLDs have been delegated previously. ICANN has said the list of new names will be updated, "as the measured rollout of the new gTLDs progresses over the coming years." Now is the time for brand holders to take action to protect themselves within the limited trademark protections that have been approved by ICANN. Information about the Trademark Clearinghouse, which will allow brand holders to protect their names, is available here.
We encourage all brand holders to be proactive in protecting themselves in the beginning of this unprecedented expansion of Top Level Domains.
Internet Users Strongly Favor Interest-Based Advertising, Value Tools to Make Choices over their Internet Experience
Posted: Nov 5, 2013 10:15am ET
A new survey released today revealed what we've long suspected—people strongly support interest-based advertising on the Internet. They especially support this type of advertising if it means that they won't have to pay to visit what are now their favorite free ad-supported websites.
According to a new Zogby survey commissioned by the Digital Advertising Alliance, more than 57 percent of respondents said they wouldn't pay to visit any free, ad-supported site they currently use if those sites converted to a pay model. Fewer than 5 percent of the respondents said they would be willing to pay in order to continue to access the free, ad-funded websites they currently visit. Internet users clearly appreciate that advertising powers the Internet. Advertising levels the market place and information playing fields by providing all consumers with continued access to free content that they currently enjoy.
The poll also shows that Internet users are overwhelmingly supportive of interest-based advertising when they learn about the protections and choices available to them. The more users learn about their choices, the more comfortable they become with interest-based advertising.
The Association of National Advertisers has long believed that consumers should have the ability to make their own choices in controlling their Internet experience. The only way web users can truly control the ads they see is to be empowered to take action to make these determinations themselves. Fortunately, consumers have that ability. The Digital Advertising Alliance, an alliance of advertising interests, maintains a robust program that allows consumers to dictate whether or not they receive interest-based advertisements. Users have the freedom to choose quickly and easily whether or not they would like to receive interest-based ads.
Users can click on the Advertising Option Icon on the corner of a banner ad for more information on the ads they see and choose to opt-out. Not only are users given a choice, but they have the opportunity to learn why they are receiving these ads. Since its inception in 2010, more than 25 million consumers have visited the DAA coalition's websites – AboutAds.info and YourAdChoices.com – and only two million of them have taken action to choose to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising.
In fact, today's survey found that if an ad has the "advertising option" icon, users will feel more comfortable about these ads. The survey revealed that 73 percent of polled consumers said they'd feel more comfortable with interest-based ads if they knew they had access to the protection that the DAA currently provides with the opt-out and more information links, limitations on data collection, and third party enforcement. By providing users with information on interest-based advertising, companies and brands are only enhancing their advertising power. These findings demonstrate that businesses that participate in the self-regulatory effort engender greater trust from their consumers.
The Internet has brought an unprecedented wealth of free and valuable content, directly supported by revenue generated by serving relevant ads. For the consumer, it's a service. It is another way for consumers to receive information that is relevant to their specific needs. Consumers are guaranteed ads that are more likely to interest them rather than being inundated with ads in which they have no interest. As the survey found, users are committed to advertising-supported content. By a ratio of five-to-one, users said their favorite Internet sites were supported by advertising (50 percent) rather than subscription fees (10 percent).
Movement Continues Against Patent Trolls
Posted: Oct 28, 2013 4:00pm ET
On Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) introduced a long-awaited bipartisan bill, the Innovation Act, to combat the growing threat from patent assertion entities (PAEs), often called patent trolls. This bill requires heightened pleading standards for patent suits, including descriptions of which patents are actually infringed, as well as how they are infringed. Transparency is another key element, with the requirement that plaintiffs disclose any party which has a financial interest in the patent at issue, as well as an allowance for defendants to join these other parties in the litigation. There is a cost-shifting mechanism in the Innovation Act that can allow a court to require that the loser pays for the winning side's litigation fees. In cases where there is litigation between a troll and a manufacturer, cases against end users are stayed until the resolution of the case against the manufacturer. The Innovation Act also expands the Patent and Trademark Office's post-grant review authority of business method patents, which are frequently the subject of patent suits involving trolls.
Despite the divisions in Congress over a wide range of issues, efforts to limit patent trolling are an area with real momentum on both sides of the aisle. Republican and Democratic co-sponsors of the Innovation Act include, among others, Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), and Spencer Bachus (R-AL). Additionally, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) expressed his support for Chairman Goodlatte's bill and stated that he is continuing to work on patent reform legislation with Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and others.
Bad news for trolls might also come soon from the country's highest court. Last month, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in two cases regarding the award of attorney's fees in so-called "exceptional" patent infringement claims where it is determined that the claims were 1) brought in bad faith and 2) objectively baseless. In Highmark, Inc. v. Allcare Management Systems, Inc., the Court will evaluate whether or not a trial court's finding that a case was exceptional (resulting in a subsequent grant of attorney's fees) is entitled to deference at the appellate level. And in Octane Fitness v. Icon Health and Fitness, the Court will examine whether the test for "exceptional" cases used by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (which hears appeals of patent cases and creates patent case law) is too strict and, therefore, actually incentivizes trolling lawsuits. Reversals in either of these cases could potentially raise the stakes significantly for trolls in filing claims.
These newer developments all come in the wake of an investigation into patent trolling activities by the FTC, as well as actions against accused trolls by several state attorneys general. While the ultimate fate of the legislation and outcome of the Supreme Court cases remains unclear, patent trolling may soon become a much more risky game to play. We are hopeful that our members will keep us informed of any developments in this area that affect them.
ICANN Should Look Before It Leaps: Part II
Posted: Sep 24, 2013 12:15pm ET
Yesterday, I wrote about the proposal by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) (which manages domain names (DNS) on the Internet) to expand dramatically the number of those names. Rather than the 22 names we all know (e.g., ".com" ".gov"), ICANN now intends to add more than a thousand new names – but so far, without sufficient care about the potential harms to consumers, businesses and Internet users. These concerns about an overly rapid Top Level Domain rollout are very widespread. Governmental entities – and even ICANN's own subgroups – have identified serious potential harms.
Here is what some of our leading companies and industries are saying:
- A coalition of electric cooperatives in New Mexico: "[ we are ] concerned about the potential for the gTLD expansion to disrupt and compromise the security of not only their computer networks and communications systems, but also the infrastructure and facilities – such as power lines, switches, substations and transformers – used to transmit and distribute electricity throughout their service regions. …The Electric Cooperatives are concerned that this expansion of Internet addresses could compromise network security… The Electric Cooperatives believe that it is not solely their four cooperatives that face this threat, but all of the electric utility industry and, indeed, potentially the entire energy sector throughout the United States."
The electric cooperatives went on to state, "the Electric Cooperatives urge ICANN to delay the roll-out and implementation of the new gTLDs, so as to provide sufficient time to study the potential adverse impacts of new gTLDs on the safety and reliability of electric transmission and distribution grids."
- General Electric: "The correlation between frequency and risk for any particular gTLD cannot be determined without additional contextual information. ICANN should endeavor to develop a more sophisticated risk model, and commission further studies on this subject…We strongly urge ICANN to exercise due caution in this area, and to not delegate any gTLD for which there is any question regarding risk until that risk is fully understood."
- Microsoft, Verisign, and Yahoo: "These issues must be addressed to preserve the stability, security and resiliency of the DNS. Allowing known risks to remain unresolved would be irresponsible and inconsistent with ICANN's core mission. It is crucial that ICANN's leadership recognizes and works with the appropriate technical bodies to ensure these issues and risks are defined, evaluated, and addressed comprehensively. This is of particular concern to operators of Internet infrastructure whose networks and customers will be negatively impacted. The cost to business of transferring known risks to unknowing end users is substantial and must be avoided. As described by the SSAC [the Security and Stability Committee of ICANN] and verified by the recent Interisle study, the delegation of new strings that are already widely in use as internal identifiers in enterprise, government, and other private networks into the root of this multi-billion user ecosystem will present substantial security risks. If and when delegations occur, these naming collisions will cause breakage in existing networks, negatively impacting enterprises, governments, and end users who are unaware of the source of the problem."
Microsoft, Verisign, and Yahoo! then emphasized, "Unexpected name collisions caused by new gTLDs being delegated into the root could have devastating consequences…Any such negative impacts may have serious consequences for those who rely on the DNS, and this should raise significant liability concerns."
- The United States Telecom Association (US Telecom), a major organization representing Verizon, AT&T, as well as other telecommunications entities, noted, "…it is feasible that public safety agencies may have internal local name spaces with the potential for collisions with new gTLDs. Similarly, there are several new proposed gTLDs that could potentially collide with internal local name spaces containing highly sensitive personal conditions, including .HIV. Of course, this does not take into account the various gTLDs with seemingly innocuous names (e.g. .FLS) that in a global environment that uses multiple languages, could very well resolve to internal local name spaces containing critical sensitive information."
US Telecom then stated, "Given the uncertainty surrounding the potential for domain name collisions, combined with the uncertainty over the potential impact of such collisions, it is imperative for ICANN to conduct additional study on this issue. USTelecom strongly urges ICANN to conduct a follow-up study to more fully understand the full spectrum of risks to private networks, equipment and devices posed by all new gTLDs and to develop appropriate mitigation measures as necessary."
- The Online Trust Alliance (a global organization addressing the end-to-end trust issues and challenges faced by consumers, online merchants and online financial services companies): "A single domain collision has the potential to bring down the entire IT organization of an enterprise… ICANN should undertake further study on this potentially serious and expensive remediation issue."
- The Chertoff Group (a global security advisory firm headed by former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, and whose team includes former CIA Director Michael Hayden): "…we believe it is prudent to conduct additional analysis on the security and liability risks associated with these new gTLDs, particularly with regard to key resources and critical infrastructure."
- The American Insurance Association: "…the current 21-day comment period provides insufficient time to research this issue. We … respectfully request that ICANN grant an extension of time" [to conduct research].
- The United States Council for International Business: "we feel the ICG study does not provide sufficient analysis of risks to internal namespace posed by a broad range of new gTLDs."
So, let's see: electricity providers; national security experts; telecommunications providers; insurers; Internet users; large manufacturers; national advertisers; and groups representing business generally—these are just some of the entities that stress that we're not ready for a major deployment of new gTLDs, and that the rush to roll them out will expose consumers, businesses and users of the Internet to major risk of harm. The concern about ICANN's plans is growing and very serious. ANA believes ICANN needs to step back, collect more information, and assess the potential implications before delegating new strings into the root. If not, the very stability and security of the Internet will be jeopardized.

Unfortunately, as the Association of National Advertisers has been warning for some time, ICANN appears to be rushing to deploy those names without taking the necessary steps to ensure the stability and security of the Internet. The potential harms to consumers, businesses and Internet users could be very serious, increasing the dangers of fraud, deception, phishing, cybersquatting and other cyber harms. Yet ICANN plows ahead on its determined – and potentially very dangerous – schedule.
Various governmental entities have stated real concerns about the DNS expansion. Officials at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have said that, "the potential for consumer fraud is great, and that the planned deployment was a "potential disaster." Commissioner Julie Brill stated at ANA's Advertising Law & Public Policy Conference, "I remain concerned, as I have been since ICANN first announced its plans, that the expansion could create opportunities for scammers to defraud consumers online, shrink law enforcement's ability to catch scam artists, and divert the resources of legitimate businesses into litigating and protecting their own good names." The Chairman of the US Senate Committee that oversees Internet issues, Jay Rockefeller, wrote to ICANN urging that a limited round of domain name deployment be done at first, so as to permit a one-year review period as to its effectiveness. In July, the US Senate Appropriations Subcommittee with jurisdiction over Internet issues called on the Department of Commerce to assess whether ICANN will have in place the necessary security elements to protect stakeholders during the DNS deployment.
Patent Trolls Are Beginning to Meet Sunlight
Posted: Sep 5, 2013 9:15am ET
In July, I wrote about the growing number of legislative proposals that have been put forward in Congress to battle patent assertion entities, more commonly referred to as "patent trolls." So-called patent trolls get their names by operating much like a troll from folklore. They produce nothing, buy up broad patents, and then hide and wait until the time is right to strike unsuspecting businesses with threats of highly damaging and expensive litigation. Trolls from folklore often meet their end in sunlight. For patent trolls, legislative and regulatory sunlight appears to be the only appropriate remedy. As we await expected major anti-patent troll legislation from Chairman Goodlatte and Chairman Leahy of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees respectively, momentum has begun to build against patent trolling in other areas.
On August 30th, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on patent infringement litigation. This report found that between 2010 and 2011, the number of patent infringement lawsuits increased by roughly 33 percent. GAO further found that between 2007 and 2011, the number of defendants in patent litigation increased by 129 percent. The GAO determined that up to twenty percent of those suits were brought by patent trolls. This percentage, however, likely did not capture the true magnitude of the problem, as it is important to note that companies often settle with trolls well before a trial or even the filing of a complaint. Most importantly, this report notes that much of the problem in this arena is sparked by the grant of overly broad patents, especially for business method patents relating to software. A number of the pending legislative proposals would help to remedy this problem. This report will certainly provide momentum to efforts already underway.
State Attorneys General also have begun to indicate a willingness to step in to stop patent trolls. On August 20th, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson announced a settlement with a patent troll known to some as the "scanner troll." This entity claimed to own a patent on scanning office documents to e-mail and targeted a number of businesses with demand letters threatening litigation if it was not paid $1,000 or more for each employee using the technology. Some of these letters even contained a draft complaint in an effort to increase the threat. Under the terms of the settlement, the company may not send further demand letters without the prior permission of the Attorney General's office and may not grant its patent rights to any other entity unwilling to comply with these terms. Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell also filed a lawsuit against this same patent troll in May alleging unfair business practices under Vermont's Consumer Protect Act.
The FTC has also indicated its willingness to step into the game. Chairwoman Edith Ramirez has stated that she believes the FTC should use its Section 6(b) investigative subpoena authority to determine whether or not patent trolls may be committing unfair business practices.
The abuse of the patent system by so-called trolls is harmful to innovation and economic growth. The American Intellectual Property Law Association found that patent litigation can cost as much as $650,000 for smaller claims, and as much as $5 million for larger claims. When costs of settlement to avoid litigation were factored in, the White House Report stated that as much as $29 billion was paid by companies to patent trolls in 2011. While recent actions by Attorneys General indicate a growing willingness to fight back against abusive practices, the GAO Report demonstrates that broader reform is needed to help provide the sunlight necessary to put a stop to the "trolling industry." ANA is continuing to work hard as a part of several coalitions to ensure that such reform happens as soon as possible.

Hi, my name is Joana and I'm an interior designer. I am renting out two rooms in a beautiful and quiet apartment in the center of Lisbon. Please feel free to contact me, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Joana has completed online and offline ID verification.

Joana was very welcoming. She organized everything we needed to have a nice stay in her flat with our little girl (kid bed). We recommend this place which is very well placed in Lisboa and well fitted, except for a cold winter stay. The appartment has only auxiliary heatings (very common in Lisboa), that are not really appropriate for a vast flat.
Reasonable price. Nice host. Room is too small for 2 big luggages.
The room is simple, sunny and clean. The bed comfortable. There is also an open wardrobe for the clothes- everything one needs really! Lovely old style apartment with high ceilings and lovey art in it. Very clean and quiet. I enjoyed my stay with Joana.
Very centrally located apartment with all the amenities, priced very reasonably. pleased with this booking!
My girlfriend and I spend 4 nights in a room of Joana's apartment, she was not there to welcoming us but there was Sebastiao, her boy-friend, really a nice and interesting guy! The apt is big and full of creative stuff, the room is confortable for short staying, the kitchen and the sala are big and full of light. Nice stay.
Muito obrigado Sebastiao and Joana
The room was as I expected. The place is quite near the metro station .
The host was very helpfull and available.
Nice days.
Joanna and her family were very accommodating and friendly. The apartment and neighborhood were quiet. I was able to reach the city center on foot within 15-20 minutes, and buses are nearby for longer distances. Would definitely stay here again.
Met Joana only briefly, but very happy with the place and the area overall. The room was small and quiet and I enjoyed my stay a lot.
The place is located in a really nice area, with most important places in walking distance.
I'll definitely try to book it again next time I visit Lisbon.
It was a nice and pleasant stay. The room is small but clean as all other rooms are. The location is great - everything is close. I totally recommend this APT!!!!
Haven't got a chance to meet Joana but I love her place! The room is tiny and I was sharing the apartment with some other guests. The place is very self-contained and has everything you need. Recommend!
Very confortable, warm, and Joana is just the perfect host!
The apartment is in the middle of Lisbon, and well connected with bus, metro and taxi. Close to everything that matters in Lisbon!
Perfect for an holiday to share with your friends!

Your Guide in Choosing a Perfect Band for Your Wedding Event
A wedding day is one of the most important occasions that will come into one's life. Careful planning for this occasion is an absolute must. However, it is very important for you to understand that the event is not only for you and your groom, it is also for all of your honored guests. There are actually a lot of ways that you can do in order to ensure that everybody will have fun during the entire event.
In many studies conducted, it has been proven that hiring a live band to perform in a wedding will turn the event into something more than what is expected. However, not all the bands available are great, some of them might not just be worth of your time and money. Of course, you should be very careful when choosing one. Here are some of the advices that will help you choose the right band for your wedding.
The Experience of the Band
The experience being referred here is not about how long does the band been playing. This will refer to the number of music styles they are capable of playing and the experience in performing at a large crowd. It is very important to take note that some bands are great in music playing but is not great when it comes to dealing with the mood of the entire guest. Of course, you will want to have a band who can make the entire event or reception fun. In addition, you can expect an experienced band to have plenty of ideas on how to make your event more fun. Then, they can also make music that is fitted when you will have your first dance with your groom and so forth.
Questions to Ask Your Band
1. Can they have a performance before the day of your wedding?
A good band must be able to let you see how they perform either during their mini performance in a club.
2. Can they have a demo?
It is also very helpful to ask the band to provide some videos of their previous performances. You need to scrutinize the videos.
3. Are they capable of playing any type of music you want?
It is very important to choose a band that can cater any type of songs especially the ones that you prefer. It is ideal for them to have a rehearsal before the event.
4. How many musicians are there in the band?
A typical band will often have five members. It will include the bass, drums, keyboards, guitar and vocals. If you wish to have another musician, then you will have to pay for that. Make sure to have a vocalist that is experienced.

From Our Editors
You might notice your order taking a bit longer at Vera's Burger Shack than it would at a standard quick-serve restaurant. That's because specially-trained Burgeristas take the time to cook each fresh, hand-made burger to a perfect medium?just a little pinkness?and top it with a choice of specialty ingredients such as chipotle mayo, fried eggs, and even cheese curds, not to mention Vera?s signature sauce. The result is a roster of burgers that can number over 1,000 combinations and has topped readers' choice polls for over a decade, as they did again in Westender in 2014. Diners can switch it up by ordering a patty made with lamb, turkey, or veggies, and they can make the meal complete with double-fried fresh-cut fries and milkshakes made with hand scooped ice cream.

Watch your mid level management to ensure they're getting the proper training and not firing and hire entire departments every other month.
