Mechanical slurry seals
Metso is launching the ESF type mechanical slurry seal for the Orion and SALA VASA HD pump series.
This sealing concept meets the increased sealing demands from our customers.
Our focus has been to offer a sealing solution that:
- minimizes dilution of sealing water into product
- eliminates leakage to atmosphere
- increase life time of the seal by preventing slurry from entering the seal chamber
- allows easy conversion from box packing solutions to mechanical seal solutions
Metso's cartridge mechanical seals type BA and BF and ESF are designed to handle light to heavy slurry duties.
Metso offers a complete line of slurry pump mechanical seals to satisfy most slurry and liquid hydro transport applications in a wide range of industries.
The BF and BA unique designs provide excellent results in all light to medium slurry grades HI, (Hydraulic Institute). The ESF design seals satisfy the demand for advanced and reliable sealing solutions on even the heaviest of slurry applications typically found in mining applications.
With many years of application experience, we can facilitate the best seal selection for your unique application.
Mechanical slurry seals are suitable when:
- Water conservation is a concern
- Zero leakage of water out of the pump is required
- No dilution water into the process is allowed
- Traditional packing and shaft sleeve life fail prematurely
- Operating cost must be reduced
Main features and benefits of the mechanical slurry seals BF, single and BA, double:
- Cartridge design to fit the Orion Series makes it easy to install into a new or retrofit pump application
- Integral seal plate with "Plug-and-play" seal reduces cost and time of installation
- Axial adjustment makes pump impeller to case clearance can be easily adjusted to optimize pump performance without face isolation
- Silicon Carbide seal faces gives excellent seal face life for most slurry applications. pH 1 – 14
- Optional face materials with Tungsten Carbide and Diamond coating – improves performance on heavy duty slurry applications
- O-ring mounted seal faces that can be replaced in the field without special tools to reduce repair cost
- Single seal can be upgraded to double seals with minimal components added
Main features and benefits of the mechanical slurry seal ESF:
- The ESF seal is designed to fit into the standard Orion Series pump flushed gland housing. For the VASA HD a convenient seal adaptor is used
- Cartridge design makes it easy to install
- Retrofit installations are quick and easy when converting a packed seal pump. "Plug-and-play"
- Tungsten Carbide seal faces are standard and provides longer life for the tougher applications
- Flushed gland port along with the internal chamber creates a barrier of clean continuously replenished fluid to prevent incursion of slurry material to the seal faces which increases service life of the seal
- Centering clips are self storing and are used to keep the seal faces in position when impeller to casing clearance is adjusted
- Radial lip seal to ensure that the seal runs in a clean water environment
- O-ring mounted seal faces that can be replaced in the field without special tools reduces repair cost
We are the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for equipment manufactured under the following brand names, and are the only supplier of parts with the original drawings and design details for: Metso, Svedala, Denver, Sala, Orion and Thomas slurry pumps.

Commons:WikiProject Public Domain/URAA review
This review is prompted by a recent (18 Jan 2012) US court decision (en:Golan v. Holder) which affirms the URAA, which restores copyright in the US on foreign works if that work was still copyrighted in the foreign source country on the URAA date (1 Jan 1996 for most countries). Before this was affirmed, many files were tagged {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}. Now that it has been, many or most of these files have had their US copyright definitely restored, and need to be reviewed for removal from Commons, since Commons:Licensing says Commons only hosts public domain (PD) works that are public domain in (at least) the US and the source country.
This page aims to organise a review of files tagged {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}. At the same, there are wider issues with PD tags not providing enough information on why a work is PD in both the US and the source country. These files should also be reviewed, information improved, and in some cases deleted (if Commons:Licensing is not satisfied). This, along with handling URAA-affected files which were not tagged with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, may be done as part of a wider Commons:WikiProject Public Domain/PD review.
Following a discussion in Commons:Massive restoration of deleted images by the URAA, it was decided that URAA cannot be used as the sole reason for deletion. Deleted files can be restored after a discussion in COM:UDR. Potentially URAA-affected files should be tagged with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.
- Commons:Requests for comment/PD review
- Commons:Licensing#Uruguay_Round_Agreements_Act
- {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}
To do[edit]
draft for discussion
- Set up a project page to coordinate all this. That way we would have a place we can link to when we post notices on other wikis.
- Inform Wikis:
- Inform all Wikis that the result of the discussion is that we can't keep the files. And add a link to the project page.
- Do a query of all the files used in each wiki and inform the wikis about the numbers of "their" files that may be deleted.
- Give all the wikis a deadline to decide if they can and will have the files copied to their wiki.
- Whats the problem?
- Make a list of all templates that may be a problem.
- Make a list of all files that may be deleted (or at least a list of the number of files with each template).
- Check files
- Agree on a method to get this working
- Update license pages etc. so we all have a better chance to figure out which files are ok and which files are not
- Start checking
- Mark as ok.
- Mark as NOT ok.
- Files that is not ok
- Have a bot to mark file with no permission and inform uploader
- Have a bot inform local wikis where the file used
- If the wiki has opted in for "copy to wiki" then a bot copies the file to the wiki
- When file has been copied to local wiki (or if they do not want it) mark it with "ready for deletion"
- Delete when the 7 days have passed and uploader (or anyone else) have not provided a valid permission.
- {{PD-URAA}} / Category:PD-URAA tag needs updating
- {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} / Category:Works copyrighted in the U.S. / Category:Works possibly copyrighted in the U.S.
- en:WP:Non-U.S. copyrights#Dates of restoration and terms of protection (list of URAA dates for various countries and the copyright term on the URAA date)
- Category:URAA-related deletion requests
- Changed old upload form, pointing to {{Unclear-PD-US-old-70}}
- Category:Deleted files transferred to Wikilivres
Target for completion[edit]
The aim is to complete the task of reviewing all files tagged {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} by
31 December 2012 30 June 2014.
- Files tagged {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}

Yesterday, when Wired.com published my feature about the worldwide shortage of plutonium-238, I expected to receive a lot of negative feedback. The issue of NASA's future is contentious, and the production of nuclear materials even more mired. I was a little shocked see much of it was positive, especially from the top three or four sources I interviewed for the piece over the course of two years.
Last night, however, I received an observant and candid criticism from a member of the National Research Council. I've decided to keep this person anonymous for now. Suffice it to say they contributed to the conclusive 2009 report to Congress on NASA's plutonium-238 shortage. If you haven't read it or heard of it: This is a study written by more than 60 scientists and engineers across a menagerie of brainy institutions. Their collective expertise is astounding, and their study concludes that plutonium-238 is the only suitable power source for deep-space exploration. The study also says restarting production of plutonium here in the U.S. is the only reliable means to get some.
So, I read this email carefully and did not discount it (unlike bullshit "NASA SHOULD USE FREE ENERGY!!" arguments that have choked my inbox). I've decided to share the NRC person's letter — and my inline responses — in this post because it's a wonderful way to highlight the dizzying, shadowy complexity that envelopes matters relating to plutonium-238.
A few orders of business in preface: Depending on who you are, what you care about, and what your security clearance is, the perspectives and information vary wildly on "The Problem." I spent more time than I care to admit making the decisions that I did in my story. It was an extraordinary amount of work, and I knew some of my sources would not agree with the presentation of the facts. But they are the facts, and I needed to address my audience with and provide an honest interpretation of that information. Wired's audience? People who care deeply about space exploration.
That's what guided me throughout my reporting. It's easy to derail a clear picture of a situation with caveats and segues and extraneous information that does not effectively change much. I wanted to, had to make sure my audience left with a basic understanding of the issue.
With that in mind, here we go.

I really didn't have the intention of growing out my hair solely to donate it later. I just never had long hair, and I wanted to see how long it'd take me to grow it as long as I possibly could stand it. I didn't cut it for a year and a half, but my hair was already past my shoulders to begin with. I kept giving myself deadlines to cut it off, after a breakup, after the new year, after graduation, something. I chose after graduation, carry the burden of the last year and half of school brought me along with my hair. I loved it, but I'm a short hair type of girl and I missed that.
So after graduation, I went to Fantastic Sam's, told the lady how short I wanted it and that I wanted to donate it. She put my hair in two ponytails, and chopped them off with no warning. I was shocked, but I knew it was going to a good place. My hair was light, and easily maintained, and just in time for summer!
I sent in the hair, and I'm glad it's for a good cause. It was the only reason I was okay with chopping off 10 inches of hair.

Corinne's Decadent Chocolate Brownies
This is a recipe that I have posted on my What Matters Most blog. . .
My friend Corinne had sent me the recipe and it works out beautifully in tiny muffin tins. Brownie bites are perfect for picnics. . .
I thought since I was pulling the recipe up to bake today again .. I may as well transfer it over here so I could print it up.
3/4 cup butter. . .melted
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
Stir the cocoa into the melted butter
Stir the brown sugar in the the butter/cocoa
Stir in the beaten eggs
Stir in the vanilla
Stir in the flour
Spread into a well greased pan 9 X 13 .. (I was a little light with my Pam and it stuck a bit)
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. In muffin tins. . .I watch carefully to see that they have puffed. . and then they are nearly done.

super! Those look scrumptious and decidedly tempting!ReplyDelete
I'm looking at these again! I'd like to take a bite right now!ReplyDelete
My family teases me because for years now I have tried many,many brownie recipes. I told them one day I would find the ultimate brownie recipe and wouldn't stop until I did. I baked these this morning and my kids and I love it! My search is finally over. I am filing this in my recipe book but I changed the name. I call it 'The Ultimate Brownie'. This way I know this is THE one! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Just had another brownie. Mine is not as thick as the one you have pictured. It looks only about half as thin. Next time I will either double this recipe or make it in a 8x8 pan. The flavor is perfect though.ReplyDelete
Just wondering...how many does it make if you use a muffin tin?ReplyDelete
This is an amazing recipe. Thanks for posting it.ReplyDelete
That's all I'm using for my big gatherings right now.
Tomorrow starts another one.

I grew up on a similar brownie . . .ReplyDelete
Melt 1 stick butter and add one at a time:
1/2 c cocoa
1 lb brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c flour
1 t baking powder
Bake in 9x13 pan 15 350 for 30 minutes or so.

I just made these brownies, and I wanted to thank you for posting the recipe.
They are super rich, and delicious! Perfect for a fall day.
I thought I had a great brownie recipe before, but these are better! thanksReplyDelete
I am a Canadian, living and working in Taiwan for a couple of years. I love to bake and cook, and enjoy Mennonite recipes. Most people here don't bake so there is no oven in most rental apartments. However, one can buy a small oven, rather like a giant toaster oven. The heat is not as consistent as a regular oven, but it does the job with some adjustments.ReplyDelete
I love chocolate and brownies and have tried many recipes. Usually they all have some uncooked bit in the centre no matter how long I cook them.
I tried Corinne's Decadent Chocolate Brownies, and though I had to cook them for an hour, due, I think to the sea level here, they did come out all cooked with a nice texture and fabulous taste. I also appreciated the quick preparation as I have no mixer or blender available, just my trusty wire whip and wrist!
I also make my own bread as I don't enjoy the white, sweet bread the Taiwanese favour. My little oven gets a heavy workout.
Thank you for your recipes, I do enjoy them and your website.
I have made these into two-bite brownies, many times. Sometimes they turn out perfect and other times they get a huge hole in the center of them. Any suggestions?ReplyDelete

and he met another girl. She outweighed him by 40lbs, could pick him up and toss him around, could kick arse on a road bike, dressed frumpy (his words not mine), knits well (she "retaught" me), cooks well, has a doctorate and works in gene cloning (?), is a vegetarian, reads the New Yorker (I used to have a sub. and haven't for awhile, though I enjoy the magazine), and could live on about $25K a year when I couldn't function on $20K a year.
But I can do stuff too and I'm just as valuable a person. I don't have to measure myself against her- only G*d is worth measuring myself against and only against Him will I ever come up short! (And this is coming from a baptised Episcopalian/ agnostic.)

My shoot with Lotta Agaton
First we ran around Stockholm for two days collecting lots of props, everything from books and flowers to gardening tools and slippers. We had to be really careful with what we chose as none of it could look remotely close to anything that could be sold at IKEA. Here are a few snapshots to give you an idea of what things looked liked behind the scenes:
Then on the third day we went to the studio and met up with the photographer Patric Johansson and his assistant, three people from Ikea, Anna who is Lotta's agent from Agent Bauer, Lina who is Lotta's regular assistant and Catrin who is Lotta's old assistant. We started assembling beds, cabinets, drawers and chairs, powertools were buzzing all over the place together with some random cursings. Well, you know what it's like to assemble IKEA furniture, don't you? Once you think you are finished you realize you put that first thing upside down and have to start over from the beginning again! Let me tell you, I was really happy we were three assistants right there, as there was A LOT of screwing to be done!
Around lunchtime the first setting was finished, and Patric could start shooting. However, we had to remove lots of stuff from the picture as IKEA needed space to write. So the final picture came out quite empty. The top picture is what we saw, you can see how bare it looks with all that empty white space. But as long as the customer is happy, it's all good! The bottom pic is the finished result, cropped and with lots of text everywhere, not looking so empty anymore.
I had lots of fun doing this, met a bunch of nice people, and hopefully I can work with Lotta soon again!

Zoobuh v. Better Broadcasting et al
Filing 48
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER granting 40 Motion for Standing and Damages; granting 28 Motion for Default Judgment. Signed by Judge David Nuffer on 5/31/13 (alt)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF UTAH, CENTRAL DIVISION ZOOBUH, INC., a Utah Corporation, MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFAULT JUDGMENT Plaintiff, vs. BETTER BROADCASTING, LLC., a Utah limited liability company; IONO INTERACTIVE, a company doing business in Utah; DOES 1-40, Case No.: 2:11cv00516-DN District Judge David Nuffer Defendants. Introduction In this action involving unsolicited commercial email communications, commonly referred to as SPAM, plaintiff, ZooBuh, Inc. moved for default judgment, monetary damages, and a permanent injunction against defendants, 1 alleged spammers and alter egos, Better Broadcasting, LLC and IONO Interactive. ZooBuh was represented by Evan A. Schmutz, and Jordan K. Cameron of the law firm of Hill, Johnson & Schmutz, L.C. located in Provo, Utah. Statement The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act located at 15 U.S.C. §§ 7701-7713 ("CAN-SPAM Act") was passed into law in 2003. Somewhat of a misnomer, the CAN-SPAM Act does not govern non-solicited and pornographic emails only, but rather, in relevant part, prohibits sending any commercial email with header information that is 1 Motion and Memorandum for Entry of Default Judgement, docket no. 28, filed March 1, 2012; Motion to Enter an Order Re Standing and Damages, docket no. 40, filed June 1, 2012. materially false or materially misleading, and requires the provision of certain content in the email bodies. Plaintiff, ZooBuh, Inc. ("ZooBuh") was first formed in Utah in 2002 and incorporated in 2007. 2 ZooBuh is an Internet access service which provides email, chat, and blogging services to approximately 35,000 customers worldwide. 3 ZooBuh provides the service through its own equipment. 4 Between February 18, 2011 and November 7, 2011, ZooBuh received at least 13,453 commercial emails sent and/or initiated by or on behalf of Better Broadcasting and/or Iono, its alter ego, 5 in violation of various sections of the CAN-SPAM Act. On November 10, 2011, ZooBuh filed a First Amended Complaint 6 against the Defendants seeking statutory damages and a permanent injunction. The Defendants failed to appear and answer the Complaint. This Court entered a default certificate against the Defendants on March 7, 2012. 7 In support of ZooBuh's claims and request for damages, the Court requested that ZooBuh submit supplemental briefing and evidence on the issues of standing, violations of the CAN-SPAM Act, and damages. 8 Based on the pleadings and evidence presented to it, the Court finds: 1) that ZooBuh is a bona fide Internet access service who was, and is continually, adversely affected by its receipt of SPAM emails, and therefore qualifies for standing as a private plaintiff under the CAN-SPAM 2 Declaration of F. Alan Fullmer (Fullmer Declaration) ¶¶ 2,5, docket no. 43, filed June 1, 2012. Id. ¶¶ 4, 8. 4 Id. ¶¶ 12-16. 5 Id. ¶ 45. 6 Docket no. 20, filed November 10, 2011. 7 Entry of Default, docket no. 29, filed March 7, 2012. 8 Motion to Enter an Order and Memorandum Re Standing and Damages, docket no. 40, filed June 1, 2012; Memorandum in Support of Motion to Enter Order and Memorandum Re Standing and Damages, docket no. 41, filed June 1, 2012. 3 2 Act; 2) that the emails in question contain violations of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A), 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(C), and 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5); 3) that the Defendants engaged in practices in violation of § 7704(b)(2); 4) that ZooBuh is awarded damages in the amount of $1,608,360 and a permanent injunction. Analysis I. STANDING It is well established that "the court sua sponte, can raise the issue of standing for the first time at any stage of the litigation." New England Health Care Employees Pension Fund v. Woodruff, 512 F.3d 1283, 1288 (10th Cir. 2008) (citing Rector v. City and County of Denver, 348 F.3d 935, 942 (10th Cir.2003)). The CAN-SPAM Act dictates that a provider of Internet access service "adversely affected" by a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1), (b), or (d), or a pattern or practice that violates paragraph (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 7704(a), may bring a civil action in any district court of the United States with jurisdiction over the defendant to enjoin further violation by the defendant, or to recover damages. 15 U.S.C. §7706(g)(1). A standing analysis under the CAN-SPAM Act consists of two parts: (1) whether the plaintiff is a bona fide Internet access service (see Gordon v. Virtumundo, 575 F.3d 1040, 1050 (9th Cir. 2009) (citing 150 Cong. Rec. E72-02)); and, (2) whether the plaintiff is adversely affected by SPAM emails (see 15 U.S.C. §7706(g)(1)). Whether a plaintiff has standing is a necessary question that the Court must answer prior to awarding any damages under the statute. a. Whether ZooBuh is a Bona Fide Internet Access Service The CAN-SPAM Act defines Internet access service as "a service that enables users to access content, information, electronic mail, or other services offered over the Internet, and may also include access to proprietary content, information, and other services as part of a package of 3 services offered to consumers. Such term does not include telecommunications services." 15 U.S.C. § 7702(11); 47 U.S.C. § 231(e)(4). The Ninth Circuit suggested that standing be limited to "bona fide" Internet access services, which is defined in the Congressional Record. "[W]e intend that Internet access service providers provide actual Internet access service to customers." See Gordon, 575 F.3d 1040, 1050 (9th Cir. 2009) (citing 150 Cong. Rec. E72-02). The Ninth Circuit also suggested that there exists an ownership and control counterpart to being a bona fide Internet access service. See Gordon, 575 F.3d at 1052. Gordon held that the plaintiff did not qualify as an Internet access service despite providing email accounts because Gordon [was] a registrant of a domain name, which he, through Omni, hosts on leased server space. He neither ha[d] physical control over nor access to the hardware, which GoDaddy own[ed], house[d], maintain[ed], and configure[d] . . . . Gordon's service appears to be limited to using his "Plesk" control panel, which he accesses via an ordinary Internet connection through an ISP, to set up e-mail accounts and log-in passwords and to execute other administrative tasks. Verizon enables his online access. GoDaddy provides the service that enables ordinary consumers to create e-mail accounts, register domain names, and build personalized web pages. Gordon has simply utilized that service for himself and on behalf of others. Id. Courts have extended the definition of Internet Access Services to "include[ ] traditional [ISPs], any email provider, and even most website owners." MySpace, Inc. v. The Globe.com, Inc., No. 06-3391, 2007 WL 1686966, at *3 (C.D. Cal. Feb.27, 2007) see also Facebook, Inc. v. ConnectU LLC, 489 F.Supp.2d 1087, 1094 (N.D. Cal.2007). The Plaintiff, ZooBuh, offers email services, blog hosting, and chat services to its customers. 9 ZooBuh has customers in all 50 states and in 27 different countries. 10 ZooBuh is widely recognized as a legitimate email provider and has been featured in various publications. 11 Unlike the Plaintiff in Gordon, ZooBuh owns, maintains and configures all the servers, routers, and switches on its network through which it hosts and provides its internet access services to its 9 Fullmer Declaration ¶ 4. Id. ¶ 7. 11 Id. ¶ 6. 10 4 customers. Every ZooBuh email account is registered, hosted and serviced through ZooBuh's own hardware. ZooBuh has sole ownership of all the hardware, complete and uninhibited access to the hardware, and sole physical control over the hardware. ZooBuh also provides each of its customers with their own web-based email portal (which ZooBuh designed, configured, and maintains) through which the ZooBuh customers access their selected web-based services (i.e., email, blogs, chat.). 12 Accordingly, ZooBuh is a bona fide Internet access service and satisfies the first part of the standing test under the CAN-SPAM Act. b. Whether ZooBuh Is Adversely Affected by SPAM The harm suffered by an Internet access service in order to establish standing under the "adversely affected" part of the CAN-SPAM Act "need not be significant in the sense that it is grave or serious, [but] the harm must be of significance to a bona fide IAS [internet access service] provider--something beyond the mere annoyance of spam . . . ." Gordon, 575 F.3d at 1053-54. In most cases, evidence of some combination of operational or technical impairments and related financial costs attributable to unwanted commercial e-mail suffice. See id. at 1054. Such impairments "include, but are not limited to, network crashes, higher bandwidth utilization, and increased costs for hardware and software upgrades, network expansion and additional personnel." Id. at 1053 (internal citations omitted). The CAN-SPAM Act does not require that a plaintiff prove that the emails at issue adversely affect the plaintiff, rather, that "[t]he e-mails at issue in a particular case . . . contribute to a larger, collective spam problem." See Gordon, 575 P.3d at 1054. In Facebook v. Power Ventures, Inc., the Northern District of California provided a very helpful analysis of the "adversely affected" requirement for standing. 844 F. Supp. 2d 1025 (N.D. Cal. 2012). There, the court determined that Facebook's receipt and analysis of 12 Id. ¶¶ 12-16. 5 approximately 60,000 messages constituted an adverse effect. Id. at 1032. At the time, Facebook's network consisted of 901 million users and Facebook had over 3,000 employees. See Facebook "Talking About It." 13 The harm suffered by Facebook with respect to the emails in question was attributable to Facebook's having to spend time and effort to determine the source of the emails, and taking steps to stop the emails. Power Ventures 844 F. Supp. 2d at 1031-32. In that case, the court held that Facebook did demonstrate an adverse effect, and that such was especially true because there were a documented 60,000 messages, and "the costs of responding to such a volume of spamming cannot be categorized as 'negligible.'" Id. at 1032. In its ordinary course of business, ZooBuh utilizes SpamHaus, Razor, Pyzor and Spamassassin as a first line of defense for SPAM received on its system. 14 Despite its efforts to mitigate the harmful effects of SPAM, ZooBuh has experienced hardware crashes, server spikes, bandwidth spikes, kernel crashes, and customer complaints all as the result of a collective spam problem of which the emails in question were a part. 15 If not for its continuous receipt of SPAM email, ZooBuh could successfully service all of its approximately 35,000 customers through four servers. 16 Instead, ZooBuh has had to double its server capacity, at significant expense, in order to successfully service its customers. Even with eight servers, ZooBuh consistently deals with server spikes and crashes, and the servers are constantly pushed to capacity, which significantly decreases the life span of the servers and is expensive in power consumption. 17 Under these facts, ZooBuh satisfies the "adversely affected" requirement as stated by the Gordon court. 13 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Talking-About-It/213156018796346?hc_location=timeline (last visited May 31, 2013). 14 Id. ¶ 17. 15 Id. ¶¶ 31-38. 16 Id. ¶ 25.. 17 Id. ¶¶ 29-30. 6 ZooBuh's network consists of approximately 35,000 users, 18 ZooBuh has three employees, 19 and there are 13,453 emails at issue. 20 Accordingly, the subject emails created a proportionately greater burden for ZooBuh than the 60,000 emails received by Facebook's 901 million users and over 3,000 employees. Similar to Facebook, for each email, ZooBuh had to expend man-hours and work to identify the source, examine the transmission information, examine and analyze the header information, take efforts to determine how and why the specific emails were able to circumvent and/or bypass preliminary filtering techniques, and to ultimately attempt to make the emails stop. ZooBuh efforts to deal with the spam cannot be categorized as negligible. See Power Ventures, 844 F. Supp. 2d at 1032. Under these facts, ZooBuh satisfies the "adversely affected" requirement as stated by the Facebook court. In summary, the harm ZooBuh suffered, and continues to suffer, as the result of its collective SPAM problem is much more significant than the mere annoyance of having to deal with SPAM or the process of dealing with SPAM in the ordinary course of business (i.e., installing a spam filter to flag and discard spam). The harm ZooBuh suffered, and continues to suffer, is manifested in financial expense and burden; lost time; lost profitability; decreases in the life span of ZooBuh's hardware; server and bandwidth spikes; server crashes; and pre-mature hardware replacements. ZooBuh is adversely affected by a collective spam problem, which includes the emails in question, and that the second part of the standing test is satisfied. Therefore, ZooBuh has standing as defined by the CAN-SPAM Act to assert claims as a private party plaintiff. 18 Id. ¶ 8. Id. ¶ 11. 20 Id. ¶ 45. 19 7 II. ANTI-SPAM LAWS Section 7704(a)(1) of the CAN-SPAM Act dictates that It is unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission, to a protected computer, of a commercial electronic mail message, or a transactional or relationship message, that contains, or is accompanied by, header information that is materially false or materially misleading. . . [h]eader information shall be considered materially misleading if it fails to identify accurately a protected computer used to initiate the message because the person initiating the message knowingly uses another protected computer to relay or retransmit the message for purposes of disguising its origin. 15 U.S.C. §§ 7704(a)(1), 7704(a)(1)(C). Section 7704(a)(1) further dictates that "header information that is technically accurate but includes an originating electronic mail address, domain name, or Internet Protocol address the access to which for purposes of initiating the message was obtained by means of false or fraudulent pretenses or representations shall be considered materially misleading;" 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A). The conduct prohibited by section 7704(a)(1) is referred to in this order as "Header Violations." Section 7704(a)(5) of the CAN-SPAM Act dictates that It is unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission of any commercial electronic mail message to a protected computer unless the message provides--(i) clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation; (ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity under paragraph (3) to decline to receive further commercial electronic mail messages from the sender; and (iii) a valid physical postal address of the sender. The conduct prohibited by section 7704(a)(5) is referred to in this order as "Content Violations." The CAN-SPAM Act provides statutory damages against parties who engage in a pattern or practice in violation of § 7704(a)(5). 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(1). a. Whether the Emails Contain Header Violations. There are several decisions arising out of default judgment and summary judgment proceedings wherein the courts awarded damages for Header Violations. In those cases, the 8 various courts determined that Header Violations existed where: the emails failed to identify that they came from the defendant, see Tagged, Inc. v. Does 1 through 10, No. C 09-01713 WHA, 2010 WL 370331 (N.D. Cal. Jan 25, 2010); the emails did not accurately identify any party, see Facebook v. Wallace, No. C 09-798 JF (RS), 2009 WL 3617789 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 29, 2009); and, the emails contained inaccurate sender names, see Power Ventures, 844 F. Supp. 2d at 1034-35. Though these decisions are helpful, they do not provide much analysis. Accordingly, it is helpful to look outside of CAN-SPAM decisions for direction on the interpretation of the statute. California Business and Professions Code § 17529.5(a)(2) is substantially similar to § 7704(a)(1) of CAN-SPAM in that it prohibits commercial email which "contains or is accompanied by falsified, misrepresented, or forged header information." Cal. B&P Code § 17529.5(a)(2). Though the language is similar to the CAN-SPAM Act, the California code has been defined as prohibitive of "deceptive" header information only, thereby creating a more onerous burden on a plaintiff than the "materially misleading" standard of the CAN-SPAM Act and thereby avoiding pre-emption by the CAN-SPAM Act. See Hypertouch v. Valueclick, Inc., 192 Cal. App. 4th 805, 825-830 (2011); Asis Internet Services v. Subscriberbase Inc., No. 0903503 SC, 2010 WL 1267763 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 1, 2010). In consideration of the California Code's more onerous burden, the recent California appellate decision in Balsam v. Trancos is persuasive as to what constitutes a Header Violation under CAN-SPAM. 138 Cal. Rptr, 3d 108. (Cal. Ct. App. 2012). In Trancos, the plaintiff sued an email marketer, similar to Defendants in this case, for sending eight commercial email advertisements on behalf of companies that hired the defendant. Id. at 112. Before sending the emails, the email marketer privately registered the domains it used to send the emails with a proxy service. Id. at 112-13. The proxy service, in turn, displayed the proxy service's contact 9 information on the domain name registration records instead of the defendant's contact information. Id. . A recipient seeking to determine who sent the emails could not determine the sender because the domains were cloaked and a WHOIS look-up would reveal the proxy service's contact information and not that of the defendant. Id. at 118-23. The appellate court applied CAN-SPAM's definition of header information and, noting CAN-SPAM's parallel provision to B&P Code § 17529.5(a)(2), the Court agreed that where the domain names in the emails did not represent a real company and could not be readily traced back to the sender, through available public databases such as WHOIS, such constituted falsification or misrepresentation for purposes of the statute. Id. at 122-23. As to privately registered domain names, the Court held "where, as in this case, the commercial e-mailer intentionally uses privately registered domain names in its headers that neither disclose the true sender's identity on their face nor permit the recipient to readily identify the sender . . . such header information is deceptive and does constitute a falsification or misrepresentation of the sender's identity," thereby meeting the more strict standard of the California Code. Id. at 118. Because the California anti-spam statute has not been preempted, prohibits deception, and imposes a more onerous burden on a plaintiff than does the CAN-SPAM Act, the Trancos analysis reasonably extends to the CAN-SPAM Act. Accordingly, where an email contains a generic "from" name and is sent from a privacy-protected domain name, such that the recipient cannot identify the sender from the "from" name or the publicly available WHOIS information, such is "materially misleading" and is a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(C). In this case 13,333 of the emails contain a generic or nonsensical "from" line that does not identify any real business or individual. Examples of the "from" lines include: "Accounting Degree," "Add a Sunroom," "Adult Education," "Air Conditioner," "Airline Tickets," "Ink 10 Cartridges," and "Ultrasound Technician." 21 Additionally, each of the 13,333 emails originated from a sender domain that was privacy-protected. 22 Therefore, when a recipient of the email sought to identify the emailer through the publicly available WHOIS database, the WHOIS database record displayed the proxy service's contact information on the domain name registration records instead of the emailer's contact information, thereby preventing the recipient from identifying the emailer. 23 Each of these 13,333 emails violates 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1). Header Violations under the CAN-SPAM Act are not limited to false or misleading header information. Under 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A), even header information that is technically accurate violates the CAN-SPAM Act when the email "includes an originating electronic mail address, domain name, or Internet Protocol address the access to which for purposes of initiating the message was obtained by means of false or fraudulent pretenses or representations." 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A). When a party registers a domain name with an ICANN compliant domain registrar, that registrant enters into a registration agreement with the domain registrar. In most, but not all cases, the domain registration agreement and the accompanying Terms and Conditions (collectively "Registration Documents") prohibit the use of the registered domain to send unsolicited commercial email or engage in other SPAM practices. 24 Accordingly, in order to obtain the domains from the registrar, the registrant represents that it does not intend to use, and will not use, the domains for any purpose prohibited by the Registration Documents. If, as is the case here, the registrant does intend to use the domains for prohibited purposes, the registrant 21 See list attached as Exhibit C to Fullmer Declaration. Declaration of Bryceson Ringwood (Ringwood Declaration) ¶ 9, docket no. 42, filed June 1, 2012. 23 See id. ¶¶ 8-9. 24 See eNom Registration Agreement and Abuse Policy, attached as Exhibit E. to Fullmer Declaration; Moniker Registration Agreement, attached as Exhibit F. to Fullmer Declaration. 22 11 obtained the domains under a false pretense, and the sending of any email in violation of the Registration Documents violates 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A) on a per email basis. In this case 13,452 of the emails originated from sender domain names registered with eNom, Inc. and one email originated from a sender domain registered with Moniker Online Services, LLC. 25 Each of these registrars requires the party registering the domain to accept its Registration Documents. The Registration Documents of each registrar contain a provision whereby the registrant indicates that they will not use the domain name for purposes of sending unlawful commercial email or SPAM. Accordingly, in order to obtain the domain names used to send the emails in question, the Defendants represented to the domain registrars that the domain names would not be used for SPAM purposes. However, the domain names were intended to be used, and were used, for SPAM purposes. Consequently, the Defendants obtained the sender domains, from which they sent 13,452 emails, under false and fraudulent pretenses in violation of § 7704(a)(1)(A). b. Whether the Emails Contain Content Violations. The CAN-SPAM Act requires that any commercial electronic mail message provide (i) clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation; (ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity to decline to receive further commercial electronic mail messages from the sender; and (iii) a valid physical postal address of the sender. 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5) (collectively "Required Content"). A determination of whether an email contains a Content Violation turns on the interpretation of the term "clear and conspicuous." In a commercial communication through an electronic medium "clear and conspicuous" is defined as follows: the "disclosure must be unavoidable . . . [and] [a]ny visual message shall be of a size and shade, with a degree of contrast 25 Ringwood Declaration ¶ 10. 12 to the background against which it appears, and shall appear on the screen for a duration and in a location sufficiently noticeable for an ordinary consumer to read and comprehend it." F.T.C. v. Affiliate Strategies, Inc., No. 5:09-CV-04104-JAR-KGS, 2011 WL 3300097, *2 (D. Kan.Aug. 1, 2011). The question presented to the Court in this case is whether Required Content provided in the emails through a remotely hosted image is clearly and conspicuously displayed. This Court determines that it is not. The body of an email message can be drafted as text only, HTML, or both by using the MIME protocol. 26 Text emails are "plain text," which means there is no formatting, such as fonts, sizes, and colors. Every email client, even one with the most strict security settings, would likely be capable of reading text emails. 27 HTML allows a message to specify font families, sizes, colors, and to have italic, underline or bold letters. Email clients that are configured to read HTML will also read and display text, as HTML-capable email clients are capable of reading and displaying plain text. In contrast, email clients that are only capable of reading text, or email clients that are only configured to read text, will not read and display HTML. 28 MIME is an Internet standard that extends the format of email to support message bodies with multiple parts. MIME is specified in six linked RFC memoranda: RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 4288, RFC 4289 and RFC 2049.2. 29 Because MIME extends the format of 26 Letter of Opinion of F. Alan Fullmer (Fullmer Opinion) ¶ 22, docket no. 38, filed May 31, 2012. For an explanation of these terms, see Fullmer Opinion ¶¶ 1-5. 27 Id. ¶¶ 23-24. 28 Id. ¶¶ 26, 28-29. 29 Id. ¶ 30. The RFC protocols together define email specifications for all Internet users. The Internet Engineering Task Force ("IETF") codifies standardizing decisions which are then published in Request for Comments ("RFC"). Many RFCs are the standards on which the Internet is formed. By way of example, the Internet Email RFC standards include: RFC 2049, which defines a message representation protocol specifying considerable detail about US-ASCII message headers, and leaves the message content, or message body, as flat US-ASCII text. This set of documents, collectively called the MIME, redefines the format of messages to allow for: (1) textual message bodies in character sets other than US-ASCII; (2) an extensible set of different formats for non-textual message bodies; (3) 13 email to support message bodies with multiple parts, MIME allows email to be drafted in a manner that the email can be read in more than one format. For example, using the MIME protocol, an email can be drafted to have a text part, a HTML part, or both. MIME also allows the emailer to include images as part of the message. There are three main types of images that can be included within an email: "Attached," "Inline," and "Remote." 30 At issue in this case are Remote images. Remote images are not part of the email body, but rather a link to a web server that could be anywhere on the Internet and controlled by any unknown third party. 31 The United States Department of Homeland Security through the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team ("US-CERT") is charged with providing response support and defense against cyber-attacks for the Federal Civil Executive Branch and with information sharing and collaboration with state and local government, industry and international partners. US-CERT interacts with federal agencies, industry, the research community, state and local governments, and others to disseminate reasoned and actionable cyber security information to the public. US-CERT repeatedly warns against downloading remotely-hosted images in email. 32 In the National Cyber Alert System, Cyber Security Tip ST04-007, US-CERT advised as follows: Disable the automatic downloading of graphics in HTML mail – Many spammers send HTML mail with a linked graphic file that is then used to track who opens the mail message—when your mail client downloads the graphic from their web server, they know you've opened the message. Disabling HTML mail entirely and viewing messages in plaint text also prevents this problem. National Cyber Alert System, Cyber Security Tip ST04-007, 2. 33 multi-part message bodies, and (4) textual header information in character sets other than US-ASCII.

This document is attached to the Fullmer Opinion as Exhibit C. 14 In the document entitled Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams, US-Cert again warns "[t]here are a number of ways you can configure your email client to make you less susceptible to email scams. For instance, configuring your email program to view email as 'text only' will help protect you from scams that misuse HTML in email." Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams, 8. 34 Industry also warns of rendering HTML in email messages. In the document entitled Technical and Policy Requirements for Sending Email to AOL, AOL warns emailers that they will not support many of the features of HTML. 35 AOL also states that "[o]ne reason [the client does not support all features of HTML] is because of the security hazards involved with sending HTML e-mails. These e-mails can expose the unwary user to hostile viruses or other intrusive programs. . . . The common theme here is end-user security. Malicious e-mailers can bury a wide variety of harmful actions within the HTML e-mail, including programs that activate upon download." Technical and Policy Requirements for Sending Email, 2-3. 36 In addition to the security threats inherent in remotely hosted images and the industry standards which typically prevent the display of remotely hosted images in email messages, remotely hosted images are not permanent. If the remotely hosted image no longer exists on the hosting server for any reason, then the image cannot be downloaded to the email client and can never be viewed by the recipient. Remotely hosted images typically do not have a very long shelf-life which means there is a small window of time where the image is viewable by the recipient. 37 34 Fullmer Opinion ¶ 49. This document is attached to the Fullmer Opinion as Exhibit D. Fullmer Opinion ¶ 50. This document is attached to the Fullmer Opinion as Exhibit E. 36 Fullmer Opinion ¶ 51. 37 Id. ¶¶ 36-37. 35 15 Given the strong concerns and recommendations against the downloading of remotely hosted images in emails, the industry standards that prevent the automatic download of Remote images in email, and the non-permanent nature of Remote images, the content of remotely hosted images in email communications is not unavoidable and is not likely to appear on the recipient's screen for a duration and in a location sufficiently noticeable for an ordinary consumer to read and comprehend it. See F.T.C. v. Affiliate Strategies, Inc., 2011 WL 3300097, at*2. This opinion does not address what would constitute a "clear and conspicuous" provision of the Required Content, it merely addresses what is not. It is the opinion of the Court that there are many ways that an emailer could provide the Required Content in a "clear and conspicuous" fashion that would not include the use of Remote images. In this case none of the Required Content appeared to be provided in the emails in any way. Nevertheless, if the Required Content was provided, it was through remotely hosted images, which images would be blocked by the majority, if not all, email clients, which images would only exist for a short time on a third party server, and which images would not likely be viewed by a recipient. In fact, at the time the emails were received and reviewed by the Plaintiff, none of the Remote images were viewable. 38 Accordingly, none of the emails in question provided clearly and conspicuously displayed Required Content and every email violates 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5). Because all of the email in question violates 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5), there is a pattern or practice by the Defendants of violating 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5) and statutory damages are appropriate. 38 38 Id. ¶¶ 61-65, 67-70. 16 III. DAMAGES Under the CAN-SPAM Act, a plaintiff may elect to recover monetary damages in an amount equal to the greater of actual losses or statutory damages. 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(1)(B). It is well established that "[a] plaintiff may elect statutory damages regardless of the adequacy of the evidence offered as to his actual damages and the amount of the defendant's profits . . . and if statutory damages are elected, the court has wide discretion in determining the amount of statutory damages to be awarded, constrained only by the specified maxima and minima." Facebook. v. Wallace, 2009 WL 3617789 at *2 (citing Columbia Pictures Television, Inc. v. Krypton Broad. of Birmingham, Inc., 259 F.3d 1186, 1194 (9th Cir. 2001)) (internal quotations omitted). In this case, ZooBuh elected to recover statutory damages pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(3)(A) which are calculated by multiplying the number of violations by up to $100 in the case of Header Violations and up to $25 in the case of Content Violations. 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(3)(A). In Wallace, the court awarded the plaintiff $710,737,650 in damages. 2009 WL 3617789 at *2. The damage award was calculated by multiplying the number of emails by "$50.00 per violation of the CAN-SPAM Act." Id. In determining to award $50.00 per violation, the court looked at various factors. Specifically, the court stated that "[t]he record demonstrates that Wallace willfully violated the statutes in question with blatant disregard for the rights of Facebook and the thousands of Facebook users whose accounts were compromised by his conduct." Id. Wallace's conduct included violating a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Id. Though the defendant's actions were severe, the court did not believe that the actions merited an award in excess of seven billion dollars. Id. Accordingly, 17 instead of awarding the full $100 per violation and treble damages, the court scaled back its award to $50 per violation. In Tagged, the court awarded the plaintiff $151,975 for 6,079 emails sent by the defendant. 2010 WL 370331, *12. There, the court awarded $25 per email because the defendant sent only 6,079 emails compared to the greater number of spam messages sent in other cases which had given larger damages awards. See id. at 11. In Asis Internet Services v. Rausch, the Court awarded the plaintiff $865,340 for various violations of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1) (which carries up to a $100 penalty) and 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(2) (which carries up to a $25 penalty). 2010 WL 1838752, *7 (N.D. Cal. May 3, 2010). Specifically, the court awarded $25 per violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1) and $10 per violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704 (a)(2). The court compared the case to Wallace and stated that "[t]his case involves far fewer emails than in [Wallace]." Id at *7. Further, the defendant "did not willfully violate an injunction" as was the case in Wallace. Id. After pronouncing the base award, the court considered the evidence that the defendant had also engaged in dictionary attacks and automated scripting in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(b). See id. at *8-9. Based on that fact, the court awarded treble damages as allowed by the statute for a total damage award of $2,596,020. Id. at *9. The instant case is most similar to Asis. Here, there are 13,453 commercial emails in question, each containing one or more violations of the CAN-SPAM Act. Specifically, there are 13,333 emails that violate 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(C) (which carries an up to $100 penalty), 13,453 emails that violate 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(A) (which carries an up to $100 penalty), and 13,453 emails that violate 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5) (which carries up to a $25 penalty). The emails also contain significant evidence of other spamming practices, which illustrate the willful 18 nature of the violations. Such practices include, but are not limited to, the registration of many .info domain names, image tracking, Bayes Poisoning, scripting, etc. 39 Accordingly, this Court applies the Asis standard and awards $25 per violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(1)(C) and § 7704(a)(1)(A), and $10 per violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(5) for a total base damage award of $804,180. Under the CAN-SPAM Act, the Court can award aggravated damages where the defendant "use[d] scripts or other automated means to register for multiple electronic mail accounts or online user accounts from which to transmit to a protected computer, or enable another person to transmit to a protected computer, a commercial electronic mail message." 15 U.S.C. § 7704(b)(2); 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(3)(C). Under these circumstances "[t]he court may increase a damage award to an amount equal to not more than three times the amount otherwise available." 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(3)(C). In this case, there is significant evidence that the Defendants used an automated process through which to create the sender email addresses from which to send the emails in question. Specifically, the sender email addresses, when viewed alphabetically, demonstrate a pattern of words selected in an ascending alphabetical order. Additionally, some of the words cross domain names, indicating that the same script generated the domains by using a dictionary file. 40 Such practices violate 15 U.S.C. § 7704(b) and entitle a plaintiff to treble damages. 15 U.S.C. § 7704(b)(2); 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(3)(C); Asis, 2010 WL 1838752 at *9. Accordingly, this Court exercises its discretion to double the statutory damage award and applies the Asis standard for a total damage amount of $1,608,360.. 39 Id. ¶ 66. Id. ¶ 66. 40 40 19 Under the CAN-SPAM Act, the Court can enter an injunction to enjoin further violations by the Defendants. See 15 U.S.C. § 7706(g)(1)(A). ZooBuh has substantially prevailed in this matter and has demonstrated the existence of violations of the CAN-SPAM Act in the emails in question. Accordingly, an injunction is entered against the Defendants in this case. The Defendants shall no longer send any commercial email to any ZooBuh customer. ORDER ZooBuh's motions for default judgment 41 and for an order regarding standing and damages 42 are GRANTED. Defendants are ordered to pay ZooBuh damages in the amount of $1,608,360. In addition, Defendants are enjoined from further violations of the CAN-SPAM Act. Dated May 31, 2013. BY THE COURT: ____________________________ David Nuffer United States District Judge 41 42 Docket no. 28, filed March 1, 2012. Docket no. 40, filed June 1, 2012. 20

One of the risks of creating a great single feature app is that its target platform will integrate that feature into itself at some point. Instapaper for the iPhone and iPad is an interesting case in point. Instapaper, a $4.99 app, lets you save web pages for offline reading. The new Safari web browser Reading List feature introduced in iOS 5 provides the same capability for free. In response, Instapaper's developer released a new version that provides significant enhancements and new features.
Introducing Instapaper 4.0 for iPad and iPhone
- Navigation redesigned for the iPad
- Navigation restyled for the iPhone
- Reduced clutter in Reading mode
- Hardware brightness control
- Look up selected text in Wikipedia
- Website footnotes converted to a popover
- Multi-selection of articles for management (archiving, deleting, or moving to folders)
- Friends panel can show all links posted to your Facebook news feed, Twitter timeline or Tumblr Dashboard
- Optional $1 per month option to search all contents of saved articles
- App Directory shows apps that integrate with Instapaper
Are these features and enhancement enough to counter the free Safari Reading List feature available with synchronization in iOS 5 and OS X Lion?

His Sunday homily was about sexuality. The New York Daily News did a decent job in covering it, although I don't think it was a "fire-and-brimstone homily".
A snip:
"I'm going to preach about sex," he declared.
"Now I've got your attention."
Dolan linked "sexual immorality" with society's ills — violence, sex crimes, disease and broken families — and called on priests to do a better job of encouraging the sexually virtuous.
"The church has at times in the past, sadly, come across as as some naysaying, puritanical nag, always giving a big 'No, no, no' to one of life's greatest joys," he said.
But modern society often reduces sex to "animal rutting" or its "most popular contact sport," he said.
He didn't mention any one show or star by name, but Dolan clearly seemed to be targeting the bedhopping that's become regular fare on TV and reality shows like "Jersey Shore."
"Truth be told, it is chastity and purity that liberates us, while immorality enslaves us," he said.

Bonus Watch '14: Credit SuisseBy Bess Levin
It's compensation communication day at the House of Dougan. No word on numbers yet, but the early word is: "No one looks particularly thrilled so far…"
Show all comments ↓
Comments (20)
Bonus is you don't work for UBS.
Pretty sure the "No one looks particularly thrilled" quote could be used any day at CS and not just comp day.
At any large investment bank, any day for the past 5 years, and probably several more years to come.
The bonus will be paid in chocolate bars. But not until after 8pm.
> Go ahead, try to claw that shit back, bitches.
Swiss chocolate at least?
Only top bucket
4 girls 1 bucket
I'm tired
Hey Bess, did you see this?
Credit Suisse should probably expand into the Credit Card market. That's really the future and it only makes sense. Plus, we have a blast at minor league baseball games (VIP Booth)
-Cap One MD
After Eights, mmmm
Equity research bonuses dismal despite record turnover in 2013 among junior and senior covering analysts. Management continues to de-emphasize equity research. Resumes are being updated. Morale reaches new low ahead of move into smaller offices.
Analyst $0-15k
Associate $0-25k
Some got a kicker from their bosses but in many cases bosses were underpaid as well in what is ironically dubbed as an "investment" year by the firm after record turnover in 2013. Only investment being made is supporting the bloated 5 person management team.
Couldn't agree more. The biggest cost center is management. Talk about the drag on margins for a part-time job and a job where you get paid to lie blatantly.
Weak mgmt appoints weak divisional heads which push out talent through lacks of variable comp.
Retards appointing retards to look less retarded by comparison.
What's amazing is despite god knows like 30 people walking out last year including several MDs there still isn't money to decently compensate people. Maybe management gets compensated on turnover? In that case they can look forward to minting it again in 2014.
The treatment of the associate EQR pool and some senior analysts is disgusting. Turnover is a joke. Poor managers are putting the banks' reputation at risk.
It's actually sad, CS used to have a solid research franchise till the dawn of the current management's era. Complete waste of space starting with one who has a McKinsey fetish, another than spends time inventing idiotic templates for research, another who should get whacked by the gong that he carries around and the other two side kicks who are vehemently hated by the analyst and associate community.
this is bad all around for EQR folks everywhere, surely some other shops will do the same
miserable business
Well not Goldman all in comp for good associates $225-$350. Someone knows how to make it rain.
I wish they gave that fruit loop the analyst role he was after…If you're not going to fire him, at least keep that fake laugh contained.
