I am seeking some advice as I have a bit of an interesting situation. Just finalized my car this morning with delivery window Feb - Mar which I am STOKED about. Having said that, I am also getting ready to move houses sometime in the next 2 - 6 months.
I would prefer to not spend the money to setup an outlet and then move a month or so later, especially since I am renting my house now and the elderly owners are a challenge to work with. But I do have a 240V dryer plug in the garage that I could use for the Model S by simply unplugging the dryer and plugging in the Model S.
Anyone doing something similar (unplugging dryer, plugging in Model S)? Am I headed down a bad path here?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
@gsajsboone - I think you meant 10-30 and 14-30
@dortor - no-one has ever seen these in the wild for the S. Can you post pictures? Are you talking about the Roadster adapters?
They have the right adapters, as I use an old dryer outlet that I moved from my utility room to my garage (the outside wall of my utility room is the garage). I had them order it for me when I picked up my car and its designed to lock into the charge cable. I would not recommend purchasing a third party adapter or making one since it will probably not have the ability to lock into the charge cable the way the Tesla supplied adapter does.
posted photos here - first time sharing with a "world" URL - please let me know if you don't have access…
updated flicker with picture of adapters and the bags they came in - bags are useful because they have the Tesla part numbers on them:
NEMA 10-30 Adapter Part #: 1016174-00-B Adapter, UMC to NEMA 1--30
NEMA 14-30 Adapter Part #: 1018243-00-B 14-30 Adapter
typo above - the "end" of the NEMA 10-30 part number should obviously be 10-30 - not 1-30 - apologies for the typo.
and just to be clear - the photos I posted are for the Model S - not the roadster!
Interesting note - when I was at the Menlo Park service center and asked about the Model S to Roadster charging adapter, after they finished laughing and stating they didn't have any, and they are very hard to come by - the tech notes that he personally knew a lot of Roadster Chargers up/down the west coast have been converted to J1772 plugs - his personal opinion was that in a year or two J1772 will take over most of the legacy Roadster charger installation base. I don't consider this to be any sort of "official" tesla position, but is probably not an unreasonable guess…
I would say the Roadster to Model S Adapter may become legacy over time and not be necessary.
Hmm, the roadster charges at 70a right? Presumably that would mean you would need twin chargers on board to use them, whether they were converted to J1772 or not.
And nice pics, thanks.
to fully utilize the Roadster charger you would need twin chargers, but even with a single charger you can still use a Roadster Charger - just not at it's full capacity. Most electrical systems can use "less" than the rated amperage. You have 15 AMP 110v circuits in your house that you often "under-utilize" with you 5 watt LED bulb plugged into it…
@shop - yes twin chargers are needed for any AC charging above 40A.
@dortor - thanks!! so they do exist. Good to know.
I'm sticking with the 14-50 extension cable and home-made adapter because I know the UMC on its own won't reach to my mother-in-laws dryer outlet. If I use the 14-30 or 10-30 adapters, I'd need a 14-30 and a 10-30 extension cable.
That's a good point Nick.
I just called my service center and am ordering the 10-30 and 14-30 anyways just in case my home made adapters go on the fritz. When you need charging, you need charging, and having a backup isn't a bad idea. Now all we need is a Tesla TT-30, Nema 5-20, and maybe an air conditioner plug or two and I think we'd be set. I'm heading to the desert this weekend and due to various circumstances, I don't know ahead of time what I'll be charging with so I'm going prepared. Wish me luck :-)
While it's true that a few of the Roadster charge stations have been replaced by J1772 stations, most of those Roadster stations were set up by private Roadster owners. I'm not sure who will take responsibility and pay the cost for upgrading them. I don't see TM doing it, and moreover, I suspect that whoever upgrades them would need permission to do it.
So far as I know, only Clipper Creek makes a J1772 station that supports charging above 40 amps. One interesting fact is that the Roadster will apparently choke on an 80 amp power source. That is, it will not simply limit the charge to the 70 amps that it needs, but rather will refuse to charge at all. Thus, while the Roadster stations could be replaced by 80 amp Clipper Creek stations, those stations would need to be derated to 70 amps in order for the Roadsters to use them. I don't think the Roadster owners who set up the charging stations would be willing to have those stations replaced by 80 amp J1772 stations unless the replacement stations were appropriately derated.

Brian, you make a very compelling case for the need to edit your own posts!
I was also able to obtain these adapters from the Fremont Service Center when I picked up my car on Sunday. The delivery specialist had never seen them before. I called ahead (since Service is closed on Sunday) and they had them waiting for me in the car.
If only it were possible. Had to try each variant, then discovered that I was using the wrong picture! Jeez.
I get my model s tomorrow and I am moving to another house in 2 months so I did not prepare this house with the recommended adapter....BUT I have a NEMA 10-30 30a 125/250v receptacle were the washer and dryer is....Does anybody know if I get an adapter could I make it work until I move out??
It seems to me, a reservation holder, that the car should come with every one of the adapters in a lunchbox kit.
Car doesn't come with a 10-30 adapter, but it is available now. Ask them to bring one with the car ($45) or order online. I charge with a 10-30 now and it works fine to get something like 200 rated miles overnight.
The Tesla 10-30 adapter will work as long as the dryer plug is about 20 feet from the Tesla charge port.
shop - good point. I was about to spend the money on the 6-50 and on the 10-30 adaptors, but decided instead to make my own 6-50P to 14-50R and 10-30P to 14-50R adaptors. This way I can use a 25' 50A extension cord and reach out to about 50' away. Both home made adaptors have worked fine so far.
@jemartin - I did exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason.
It is annoying to have to dial down the current manually though. I had failed to explain it clearly to my wife, and so when she drove the car back to my sister's house and hooked it up, it was charging for a while at 40A on a 30A circuit - the breaker didn't trip, so it was very fortunate that the wiring standards include a lot of margin and nothing bad happened.

Everton defender Leighton Baines says the new arrivals at Goodison Park during the transfer window have given the club a real lift.
The deadline day signings of Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar added to the loan deal for Landon Donovan and the signing of Darron Gibson from Manchester United.
The Toffees are unbeaten in all competitions since a 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at high-flying Tottenham on January 11th and Baines told Everton's official website he felt the club was on an 'upward curve'.
"We certainly feel as though we are on the up again"
- Leighton Baines
"I think [January's transfer dealings] lifted everyone associated with the club," he said.
""It certainly did from what we see within the club, it gave everyone a boost.
"It was massive, in particular, what that 24 hours [on deadline day] did for us with the two new lads coming in and the win over Manchester City – of course we had signed a couple of lads before that as well – so it was a productive period for the club and we certainly feel as though we are on the up again.
"We needed it and it does lift people," he added.
"It is hard to articulate exactly why that is at times but to get the new bodies in really helped."
Everton host Chelsea on Saturday and Baines said he hoped Everton could keep up their good form.
"Beating City was what the fans deserved really. Things have not been great this season so it was nice to win that one for them and it is important we keep the momentum going," he said.
"We want to win all our home games and we will be going out to do it again on Saturday.
"We know we have to work hard and pick our form up. Hopefully that will be the case as we do feel as if we are on an upward curve now."

Ct. 1523 (2009) ............................................................................................................ 4, 8 ii Class members Arlo Guthrie, Julia Wright, Catherine Ryan Hyde, and Eugene Linden (the "Objecting Authors"), by their attorneys DeVore & DeMarco LLP, respectfully submit these Supplemental Objections to the amended class action settlement agreement reached in The Authors Guild, Inc., et. al. v. Google, Inc., No. 05 Civ. 8136 (DC) (the "Amended Agreement"). As required by the Court's orders of November 18 and December 1, 2009, these objections are limited to changes in the Amended Agreement and supplement the objections and proposed solutions filed by the Objecting Authors to the original settlement agreement on September 2, 2009 (the "Objections"). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT The Google Books Settlement as amended remains a remarkable attempt to use the vehicle of class-action law to define the market for the exploitation of authors' works in the digital world. In doing so, the settlement would grant Google extraordinary and unequalled rights to exploit and generate revenue from a digital database of some substantial portion of the world's English-language works. While the settlement may provide a public good, the Objecting Authors continue to believe that absent further modification any such benefit would come at a disproportionate and unfair cost to authors. The amendments to the proposed settlement � addressed principally to concerns raised by the Department of Justice and foreign rightsholders � fail to address critical objections raised by the Objecting Authors and other author class members. The Objecting Authors thus are constrained to supplement and reiterate certain of their prior objections in light of those amendments: First, as explained below, the addition of four foreign named authors does not change the fact that, collectively, the named author plaintiffs ("Named Author Plaintiffs") failed to represent adequately the interests of other members of the Author Sub-Class. Second, the Amended Agreement impermissibly authorizes future exploitations of authors' works and releases claims never alleged in any complaint in this action. Third, amendments designed to address anti-competitive aspects of the settlement fail to address authors' legitimate concerns about potential discrimination against them by Google. Finally, while Google has made a modest commitment to improve the claiming process and correct errors in the Google Books Database, continuing fundamental problems with the Database demonstrate the need for the Court to require Google to correct the Database before approving the Settlement. 1 STATEMENT OF FACTS I. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Plaintiffs filed their first complaint on September 20, 2005, alleging copyright infringement arising out of Google's unauthorized scanning of millions of copyrighted books, inserts, and lyrics. Google continued to scan copyrighted works without authorization, has already scanned many millions of works, and is projected to scan many millions more. (DeVore Decl. � 2, Ex. A.) 2 Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint along with a Settlement Agreement on October 28, 2008. The Court preliminarily approved that settlement and set May 5, 2009, as the date to file objections or opt-out. In response to concerns raised by the Objecting Authors and others, however, the Court extended that deadline to September 4, 2009. Over the course of the following several months, the Court received over five-hundred submissions, the great majority raising fundamental objections to the proposed settlement. The U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division opened its own investigation and filed a Statement of Interest on September 18, 2009. In the face of this overwhelming opposition, the parties requested and the Court approved a further extension to allow them time to fix at least some of the settlement's 1 Purely for the Court's convenience in considering the full range of their objections, the Objecting Authors have attached their prior Objections as Exhibit 1 to these Supplemental Objections. 2 All citations to Declarations refer to the Declarations filed in support of the Objections except for the Supplemental Declaration of Catherine Ryan Hyde ("Suppl. Hyde Decl."), attached as Exhibit 2. 2 flaws. The parties thereafter filed the Third Amended Complaint ("TAC") and Amended Agreement, which the Court preliminarily approved on November 19, 2009. II. THE THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT The only significant change in the TAC is the inclusion of additional Representative Plaintiffs from the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, among them authors Maureen Duffy, Daniel Jay Baum, Margaret Drabble, and Robert Pullan. These new authors collectively have published approximately 100 works, most of which are out of print. Even with four new authors, the handful of Named Author Plaintiffs still plainly represent only a minute fraction of the millions of authors whose works Google has already scanned and whose rights will be fundamentally affected by the settlement. Like the first and second complaints, the TAC is grounded solely in copyright infringement and seeks relief relating only to copyright infringement. (TAC �� 63-79.) Nowhere, in any complaint, do plaintiffs allege such claims as trademark infringement, other Lanham Act violations, state law publicity rights, tortious interference with contract, prima facie tort, unfair competition, or any other tort or statutory violation. III. THE AMENDED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT The Amended Agreement left untouched most of the flawed provisions to which the Objecting Authors objected to in the prior version, and the Objecting Authors continue to object to those provisions. In conformance with the Court's orders, these Supplemental Objections focus on the flaws apparent in or impacted by changes to the settlement. A. The Amended Class Definition In the face of overwhelming global opposition, the Amended Agreement narrows the class of plaintiffs to Rightsholders in Books or Inserts either registered with the United States 3 Copyright Office or published in Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia. (ASA � 1.19.) Even with this change, however, the settlement still would grant Google perpetual rights in most of the world's English-language works. The Amended Agreement also narrows the definition of "Inserts" to exclude all such works that have not been separately registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. (ASA � 1.75). This Amendment may have dramatic consequences for authors who have numerous unregistered Inserts, particularly in light of the question now pending before the Supreme Court in Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick, 129 S.Ct. 1523 (2009), as to whether such unregistered rights holders should be eligible to participate in class action settlements for copyright infringement such as this one. B. Future Exploitation of Authors' Works The amendments also would permit Google and the Books Right Registry to exploit works through three Additional Revenue Models: Print on Demand, File Download, and Consumer Subscription Models. (ASA � 4.7.) No such exploitations are alleged or even remotely suggested in any complaint. And rather than electing to opt into those exploitations, authors must affirmatively inform Google of their desire to exclude works from these revenue models. (Id.) Moreover, the Amended Agreement would grant the Books Right Registry the right to license Rightsholders' U.S. copyrights to any third party "to the extent permitted by law." (ASA � 6.2(b)(i).) C. Competition-Related Amendments The revisions to address anti-competitive aspects of the settlement appear to respond principally to concerns raised by the Department of Justice. (See, e.g., ASA �� 3.8(a), 4.2(a)-(c), 4.5(a)(iii).). Those revisions do not address authors' legitimate concern that Google 4 will use its enhanced market power to discriminate against them in search rankings and other ways, while stripping them of any legal right to challenge such discrimination. D. New Representations Regarding the Google Books Database The Amended Agreement now includes a promise by Google to "use reasonable commercial efforts to correct errors in the Books Database as Google discovers such errors or as they are identified to Google." (ASA � 13.3.) It also includes a brand-new disclaimer, however, that although countless works from around the globe are now contained in the Database, their presence in the Database does not mean that they are "Book[s] within the meaning of Section 1.19 (Book)." (ASA � 3.1(b)(ii).) OBJECTIONS I. THE AUGMENTED GROUP OF NAMED AUTHOR PLAINTIFFS FAILED TO REPRESENT ADEQUATELY CRITICAL INTERESTS OF THE AUTHOR SUB-CLASS The post-hoc inclusion of four authors from the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia did not � and could not possibly � address the objection that the Named Author Plaintiffs failed to represent adequately core interests of other members of the Author Sub-Class and agreed to terms that unnecessarily and unfairly impair authors' rights and interests. As Plaintiffs' supporting memorandum concedes, these new foreign authors were added to correspond with the Amended Agreement's limitation of the class of Rightsholders to authors in the U.S. and those three countries. (Mem. in Support of Prelim. Approval at 3.) Like the other Named Author Plaintiffs, the add-on authors do not appear to have any of the critical interests relinquished under the prior agreement, and the provisions undermining those interests remain largely unchanged. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a)(4), class representatives must "fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class." (See Obj. at 10 (noting that a critical adequacy 5 concern is whether a class representative has an interest that conflicts with the rest of the class, as determined through close inspection of the proposed settlement).) Here, notwithstanding the addition of four new authors, the terms of the proposed settlement demonstrate that the Named Author Plaintiffs failed to represent adequately the interests of the Author Sub-Class by (1) improperly releasing valuable trademark and other claims, (2) unfairly undervaluing Inserts, and (3) failing to compensate authors for the Non-Display Uses of their works. A. The Addition of New Authors Lacking Significant Trademark Interests Cannot Cure the Impermissibly Broad Release of Claims Under the Proposed Settlement Despite multiple opportunities, Plaintiffs have never alleged claims for anything but copyright infringement. (TAC �� 63-79.) Yet the Amended Agreement again purports to release "each and every Claim of every Rightsholder that has been or could have been asserted in the Action against any Google Releasee (including all Claims of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or moral rights violation)." (ASA �� 10.1 (b), (d), (f), (h), (j), 10.2(a).) That ungrounded and overbroad release strips authors of any ability to protect against damaging future uses of their intellectual property by bringing, for example, trademark, right of publicity, non-disparagement, or tortious interference claims. As before, that overbroad release may not have raised substantial concerns for the four new authors, who appear to have no demonstrable trademark interest in their works. As demonstrated in the Objections, however, this is not the case for many other authors, who have licensed their works for movies, television programming, charities, and other uses, and have developed substantial trademark and other corresponding rights never at issue in this case. (See, e.g., Hyde Decl. �� 3, 4(f); Leslie Decl. � 4(d).) The substantial overbreadth of this release alone demonstrates that the Named Author Plaintiffs "had no incentive to maximize the recovery" for those claims, In re General Motors Corp. Pick-Up Truck Fuel Tank Prods. Liab. Litig., 55 F.3d 6 768, 801 (3d Cir. 1995), and failed to represent those claims adequately on behalf of the Objecting Authors and other absent class members. B. The Continued Devaluation of Inserts Demonstrates Both that the Named Author Plaintiffs Inadequately Represented the Author Sub-Class and The Need for Insert Authors to be Represented as a Separate Sub-Class The Amended Agreement continues unfairly to disadvantage Insert authors relative to Book authors. That substantial disparity underscores the Objecting Authors' objection that Insert authors have not been adequately represented, and suggests that Insert authors require representation as a separate sub-class. As the Objecting Authors have previously demonstrated, the proposed settlement substantially undervalues the rights of Insert authors. For example, Insert authors may only Exclude their works from all, but not less than all, Display Uses, (ASA � 3.5(b)(i)), a Hobson's choice that if taken would deny Insert authors the principal benefits of remaining in the settlement of increased exposure for and revenue from their works. Insert authors also cannot exclude their works from sales by Google if the author of the Book containing those works agrees to such sales, (ASA � 3.5(b)(i)), and receive no revenue at all from advertising against their works. (ASA, Attach. C � 2.3.) Rather, Insert authors are consigned to accept $15 for Google's past infringement of their works, and a small Inclusion Fee of "no less than US $50 per Entire Insert and US $25 per Partial Insert" solely for future subscription uses of those works, subject to a cap of $500 for all uses ever. (ASA, Attach. C � 1.2.) Yet authors like Catherine Ryan Hyde and Eugene Linden command as much as $1,000 or $1,500 for the inclusion of just one of their works in a larger work. (Hyde Decl. � 4(d); Linden Decl. � 3(d).) The continuing dysfunction of the Google Books Database compounds these disparities, making it difficult to determine which works are included as Inserts and Partial Inserts, and nearly impossible for 7 authors with many Inserts to make even the initial determination of their rights and remedies for either past infringement or future uses of their works. (See Suppl. Hyde Decl. � 6(c).) The Amended Agreement's revised definition of Inserts further erodes the rights of Insert authors. While the prior Agreement included as Inserts all United States works "covered by" a copyright registration, (SA � 1.72), Inserts are now limited to works that are either independently registered or excerpted from another registered work. (ASA � 1.75.) As a result, the vast array of unregistered Inserts contained in Books � all of which still appear to remain subject to commercial exploitation by Google � are no longer "Inserts" under the terms of the Amended Agreement, (see Suppl. Hyde Decl. � 6(d)), and their authors will receive no compensation whatsoever for their past or future infringement. This alteration is particularly troubling given that the Supreme Court could well conclude, in Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick, 129 S.Ct. 1523 (2009), that authors of such unregistered Inserts should be allowed to participate in precisely such class action settlements for copyright infringement. Taken together, these substantial disparities suggest a conflict inherent in the basic structure of the settlement that should be remedied by the creation of a new sub-class to represent the interests of Insert authors. Adding a new named plaintiff who has authored Inserts cannot remedy this problem. Where the interests of sub-groups within a class are so demonstrably antagonistic, that conflict cannot be resolved simply by including among class representatives individuals who are members of each sub-group. Amchem Prods. Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591, 627 (1997) (holding that class representation was inadequate in part because "[a]lthough the named parties alleged a range of complaints, each served generally as a representative for the whole, not for a separate constituency."). Rather, this conflict suggests an imperative to create a sub-class for Insert Rightsholders tasked solely with representation of the 8 distinct interests of that group. Boucher v. Syracuse Univ., 164 F.3d 113, 118-19 (2d Cir. 1999) (potential conflict between women interested in playing varsity softball and those interested in playing varsity lacrosse in a Title IX action necessitated division of class into separate subclasses); see also In re Joint Eastern and Southern Dist. Asbestos Litig., 982 F.2d 721 (2d Cir. 1992). Because the Amended Agreement remains fundamentally unfair to Insert authors, the Objecting Authors request that the Court require the creation of a sub-class of Insert authors to protect their specific and distinct interests. 3 C. The Named Author Plaintiffs Failed to Represent Adequately Authors' Interests in Regards to Non-Display Uses of Their Works The addition of new Named Author Plaintiffs also cannot cure plaintiffs' failure to represent authors' interests adequately by granting Google unfettered control over NonDisplay Uses of their works without regard for the tremendous value to be derived from, and risks associated with, such uses. As explained in the Objections, such uses are at the very core of Google's powerful revenue engine, which produced $5.5 billion in total revenue in the first quarter of 2009, 97% of which was derived from advertising and much of that through the lucrative but "non-display" AdWords program. (Obj. at 7-9, 12-13; DeVore Decl. � 5.) Yet nothing in the Amended Agreement precludes Google from, for example, using authors' trademarks as AdWords, analyzing the entire works of an author and selling those analytical results to third-party behavioral advertisers, or analyzing and selling demographic information regarding who is reading which works by what authors or relating to which subjects. (See Obj. at 20; Hyde Decl. 4(f); Wright Decl. 3(c).) Compounding this problem is the fact that the agreement would strip authors of any right to sue Google for any reason in connection with such uses. (See ASA �� 10.1, 10.2.) Book authors' only recourse as to Non-Display Uses is to 3 See Suppl. Obj., App. A � 1(Proposed Solution 9). 9 Remove their works entirely from GBS. (ASA �� 2.1, 3.5(a).) That option is not available at all to Insert authors and may be illusory for Book authors as well, since nothing in the Agreement dictates that removal shall prevent Google from making Non-Display Uses of an author's Book. (See Obj. at 18; ASA � 1.124.) Even that limited Removal right disappears entirely on March 9, 2012. (ASA � 3.5(a)(iii).) The fact that authors will receive no compensation whatsoever for lucrative NonDisplay Uses, have marginal or no tools to prevent such uses, and shortly will be prohibited entirely from doing so demonstrates plainly that the Named Author Plaintiffs failed to grasp and represent adequately authors' interests relating to such uses. II. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT IMPERMISSIBLY RELEASE CLAIMS NOT ASSERTED IN THE COMPLAINT AND CLAIMS AS TO FUTURE CONDUCT The Amended Agreement's overbroad release of claims not asserted in the complaint and claims as to future conduct continues to dangerously undermine the rights of class members. Like the prior agreement, the Amended Agreement requires class members to release "each and every Claim of every Rightsholder that has been or could have been asserted in the Action against any Google Releasee (including all Claims of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or moral rights violation)" that arises out of uses of authors' works. (ASA � 10.1(f).) Remarkably, the Amended Settlement would further widen the scope of unalleged conduct, providing that the Books Right Registry may license authors' U.S. copyrights to any third party "to the extent permitted by law," (ASA � 6.2(b)(i)), and cement Google's right to exploit those works through Print on Demand, File Download, and Consumer Subscription Revenue Models. (ASA � 4.7.) No claim other than copyright, and no such future exploitation, was ever alleged in any one of the three complaints filed in this action. 10 The overbroad release of unalleged claims and claims as to future conduct are not only harmful to authors; as set forth in the Objections, they are impermissible under wellestablished law. (See Obj. pp. 13-16.) Accordingly, the Objecting Authors reassert their objection to the release of unalleged claims and claims as to future conduct and request that the Court limit any such release to claims and conduct alleged in the TAC.4 III. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT UNDERSCORE THE UNFAIRNESS OF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE SETTLMENT TO AUTHORS As set forth in the Objections, in considering whether to approve any proposed class action settlement the court must determine whether the settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable to class members. (Obj. at 16.) A settlement that "benefits certain groups of the class more than others suggests that the district court did not adequately discharge its duties to safeguard the interests of the absentees." In re General Motors Corp. Pick-Up Truck Fuel Tank Prods. Liab. Litig., 55 F.3d 768, 808-10 (3d Cir. 1995) (reversing approval of class settlement because proposed agreement was unfair to certain segments of class). Moreover, the right to opt out "does not relieve the court of its duty to safeguard the interests of the class and to withhold approval from any settlement that creates conflicts among the class." Id. 55 F.3d at 809. 5 The Objections demonstrated that certain aspects of the Amended Agreement are unfair to authors and should not be approved. (See Obj. at 16-24.) As set forth below, the Amended Agreement compounds those concerns by failing either to (1) protect authors from potential discrimination by Google or (2) correct fundamental problems with the Google Books Database. 4 5 See Obj., App. A � 1 (Proposed Solution 1). Opting out also simply is not a viable solution for a majority of authors, who have neither the resources to take on Google nor the desire to miss out on the potential benefits of the unique exposure that Google alone can offer for their works or the compensation potentially available under the agreement. 11 A. The Revisions to the Agreement to Address Antitrust Concerns Fail To Protect Authors from Potential Discrimination by Google The settlement would cement Google's dominance in Internet search, and in the market for book search in particular. (See Obj. at 22.) Yet the revisions to the Amended Agreement designed to address antitrust concerns, (see, e.g., ASA �� 3.3, 3.8, 4.2, 4.5), fail entirely to address authors' critical fear that Google might use that power to discriminate against authors who choose to opt-out, Remove or Exclude their works, or otherwise comment on or take issue with the settlement � now or at any time in the future. Absent an express prohibition, such authors are particularly concerned that Google could abuse its position as the dominant search engine � and likely exclusive book search engine � by lowering them and their works in search results such that they are effectively eliminated from public view. (See Obj. at 23, Wright Decl. � 3(f).) This concern is particularly acute for authors who sell their works through their own websites or other on-line platforms. (See, e.g., Hyde Decl. � 2; Linden Decl. � 2; Guthrie Decl. � 2.) Moreover, because Google's search algorithms are confidential, authors will have little way to discover and even less ability to prove that they have been discriminated against in this manner. Any such action by Google to use its market power to discriminate against authors and alternative distribution platforms in this way constitutes anticompetitive conduct prohibited under Section 2 of the Sherman Act. (Obj. at 22-23.) In order to prevent such discrimination, the Objecting Authors request that the Amended Agreement include an express provision that precludes Google from altering its web search or AdWords algorithms in a manner that discriminates against authors. 6 6 See Obj., App. A � 6 (Proposed Solution 6). 12 B. Despite a Commitment to Correct Identified Errors, the Google Books Database Remains Critically Flawed and Should Be Corrected Before Approval As described in the Objections, authors have found the Google Books Database to be "remarkably burdensome, time-consuming, and frustrating." (See Obj. at 24; Hyde Decl. � 4(b); Linden Decl. � 3(e); Wright Decl. � 3(g); Leslie Decl. � 4(e).) The Amended Agreement's new disclaimer that "[t]he inclusion of a work within the Books Database does not, in and of itself, mean that the work is a Book within the meaning of Section 1.19 (Book)," (ASA � 3.1(b)(ii)), exacerbates the severe problems already identified. With a database teeming with national and international works � many now likely excluded under the narrowed scope of the agreement � that disclaimer leaves authors no way of knowing whether entries in the Database qualify as "Books" under the settlement or how much they might be paid either for past infringement or future exploitations of their works. As a matter of fundamental fairness, authors should not be forced to opt in or out of the settlement without the ability to understand fully and effectively these basic issues. 7 Moreover, Google's new commitment to "use reasonable commercial efforts to correct errors in the Books Database as Google discovers such errors or as they are identified to Google," (ASA � 13.3), does not address this concern. First, the amendment does not even obligate Google � with its demonstrated technical prowess as the creator of the world's most popular Internet search engine � to fix basic defects in the Database. Instead, Google has promised to make some effort to fix problems it either is alerted to or stumbles upon, leaving untold numbers of holes and inaccuracies in the Database and placing authors in the untenable position of using a defective tool to attempt to police their own works and spend valuable time and resources pushing Google to fix the errors it has created. 7 See Suppl. Obj., App. A � 2 (Proposed Solution 10). 13 Second, the commitment itself is remarkably vague and shallow. "Commercially reasonable" is not defined, and there is no general obligation to correct the Database, no timetable for correcting identified errors, and no enforcement mechanism. Yet the innumerable errors in the Database may have profound consequences for authors. In just one example, an error in publication date could make a work appear to be in the public domain and thus available for display without compensation to the author. Third, authors' recent attempts to utilize the Database demonstrate that it remains deeply and unfairly flawed notwithstanding Google's modest new promise. For example, on top of defects already documented, (see Hyde Decl. � 4(c)), when Catherine Ryan Hyde searched for her works on January 6, 2010, she found forty-two works. (Suppl. Hyde Decl. � 6(b).) The next day, eight of those works were missing. (Id.) The Database also listed four editions of her work Electric God � works that have been out of print for years � as commercially available. Furthermore, at least five works previously claimed by Ms. Ryan now show "Catherine Ryan Hyde" as their title. When Ms. Ryan clicked on those entries in an attempt to determine what they were, she received notice from Google that the entries may be Inserts and that it is her obligation to provide the Registry with identifying information so that the Registry might contact her "if a potential match is found." (Id. at � 6(c).) As the author of numerous Inserts, that notice leaves Ms. Ryan utterly unable to determine which of five works identically titled "Catherine Ryan Hyde" correspond with any of her works. (Id.) Moreover, even after Ms. Hyde put Google on express notice in September 2009 of the fact that the Database lists her incorrectly as one of the authors of the screenplay for Pay It Forward, (Hyde Decl. � 4(c)), Google still has not corrected this error, failing in its commitment to correct even known errors. (Suppl. Hyde Decl. � 6(b).) 14 Given the fact that these fundamental defects go to the very heart of authors' abilities to assess their rights and obligations under the settlement, the Objecting Authors request that that Google be required to correct the errors in the Google Books Database before the settlement is approved. 8 CONCLUSION For all of the reasons set forth in the Objections and these Supplemental Objections, the Objecting Authors object to the Amended Agreement and respectfully request that the Court revise the Amended Agreement to address their objections before it is approved. New York, New York Dated: January 28, 2010 Respectfully submitted, DEVORE & DEMARCO LLP By: /s/ Andrew C. DeVore Andrew C.

Malingering is the act of faking or exaggerating symptoms for personal gain. People may fake illness to:
The symptoms may vary. Malingerers tend to complain of problems that are difficult to prove, such as severe pain, anxiety, or stress. Tests such as X-rays and lab tests cannot find a physical cause for the problem.
Malingering may be suspected when:
Diagnosing malingering is a challenge for healthcare providers. On the one hand, the provider does not want to overlook a treatable disease. On the other hand, he or she does not want to continue ordering tests and treatments if the symptoms are faked. If a provider suspects malingering, the person may be referred to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists and psychologists may use certain tests to try to determine whether the person is faking the symptoms.
People who are purposefully faking symptoms for gain do not want to be cured. Often, the malingering patient does not improve with treatment, and the healthcare provider may try many treatments without success.

The Colorado Mammoth (2-2) secured their first home win of the 2013 NLL season with a 15-9 win over the Minnesota Swarm (1-3) before a crowd of 16,321 at Pepsi Center on Saturday night.
The win helps erase memories of a poorly-played home loss last weekend as the Mammoth improved to .500 on the year. Colorado showed drastic improvement in all areas of their game, highlighted by a strong defensive performance and a 4-for-5 performance on the power play.
"I challenged the guys after the game last week to dedicate themselves this week and the rest of the season to get where we want to be," said Mammoth head coach Bob Hamley. "Everybody worked hard tonight."
John Grant, Jr. led Colorado's attack once again with five goals and 11 points (5+6) in the game while Mammoth captain Gavin Prout had five points (1+4) in the win.
"We made a point on how terrible we played last week holding the ball, and I was one of the biggest culprits," Grant, Jr. said. "This week, I focused on just trying to feed the ball and if I was getting some shots, hopefully I would put them in."
Colorado's Jordan McBride opened the scoring in the first two minutes of the game. Minnesota quickly responded with three unanswered goals before the Mammoth fired back on a five-goal run which extended into the second quarter. The Swarm stalled offensively prior to the half ending, adding one goal to their opening frame performance.
Minnesota would start to buzz back in the third, tallying three goals to pull them within two. Colorado's sticks cooled off meanwhile, with a lone goal in the waning minutes of the quarter courtesy of Sean Pollock.
Heading into the final fifteen minutes, the teams would exchange goals, but back-to-back power play goals by Colorado would give them a five-goal lead, enough to hold onto a victory, but not without controversy.
With six and a half minutes remaining in the contest, Mammoth goaltender Matt Roik was given a two-minute penalty and a game misconduct for an illegal equipment violation. After officials determined that he had modified one of his gloves, Roik was ejected from the game and finished with 35 saves on 43 shots for the night.
"I noticed that he had what I deemed to be an 'add-on' to his right glove," said Swarm head coach Joe Sullivan. "The league provides brand new gloves every year and that looked like it was an older glove. We typically wouldn't make that call but we were down by five [goals]. We were on the power play so worst-case scenario, if I lost the challenge, we would go 4-on-4."
"I didn't agree with it but we will see what happens this week with the league," Hamley said about the decision. "It was a tough call. Fortunately, it didn't hurt us."
The Swarm came into Saturday's game without veteran Callum Crawford, who was scratched from the lineup due to injury. Sullivan noted that his absence was noticeable as Colorado was quick to adjust defensively.
"It puts a lot of pressure on everybody else on the floor," Sullivan said. "[Crawford] draws a lot of checkers, he sees the floor well and he can score. When he is not there, it's one less big-time player that Colorado had to plan on, so it makes it tough for guys like Ryan Benesch."
Benesch, a frequent headache for the Mammoth, recoreded three points (1+2) while rookie Shayne Jackson led the Swarm with five points (1+4) on the night.
Next weekend, Minnesota will travel home on Friday, Feb. 8 to host the Toronto Rock at Xcel Energy Center at 8:30 p.m. ET for their second meeting this season. Colorado will look to take their momentum on the road and try to avenge an earlier loss when they visit the Washington Stealth at Comcast Arena on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 10 p.m. ET.

After months of media speculation, it's official now! Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif are teaming up for Yash Raj Films' Ek Tha Tiger which is directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Aditya Chopra.
Yash Chopra, speaking about the project, said it was a very happy moment for him. "Everyone knows my association with Salim (Khan) saab, having worked together on Deewaar, Trishul and Kaala Patthar. It is a very happy moment for me and YRF to have his son Salman with us for the first time. Over the years, Salman has become a very matured and talented actor and both he and the beautiful Katrina have a tremendous connect with their audiences. Combined with Kabir's edgy directorial skills, we can all look forward to a thrilling film. I really loved the script which is based on a story written by Adi and I am sure that the whole team will do an excellent job on this project."
Salman Khan was also honoured to be working with YRF for the first time.
The romantic-thriller starts shooting early July and is slated for a mid-2012 release.

Metabolic Syndrome in Early Pregnancy Increases the Risk of Preterm Birth
This press release is an announcement submitted by AADE, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Oct 13 - Women with metabolic syndrome in early pregnancy have a higher risk for preterm birth, according to study findings reported in the October 1st issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Dr. Leda Chatzi, of the University of Crete, Greece, and colleagues base this conclusion on their study of 625 women who were members of Crete's mother-child "Rhea" cohort, on whom data was gathered from 2007 to 2009.
The authors defined "metabolic syndrome in early pregnancy" as the presence of three or more or the following at or before 15 weeks' gestation: pre-pregnancy BMI >30 kg/m2, triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or more, HDL cholesterol <50 mg/dL, fasting glucose of 100 mg/dL or more, and blood pressure of 130 mmHg or more systolic and 85 mmHg or more diastolic.
The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in early pregnancy was 3.5%, the researchers report. The risk for preterm birth was nearly tripled in women with metabolic syndrome early in pregnancy (relative risk = 2.93). The highest risk was observed for medically indicated preterm births (RR = 5.13).
Among the components of metabolic syndrome, hypertension was the most significant risk factor (RR = 3.92).
Each elevation of 10 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure increased the relative risk for preterm birth by 29% and the risk of medically indicated preterm delivery by 67%.
Furthermore, an elevation of 40 mg/dL in total cholesterol increased the relative risk for all preterm births by 24%. For medically indicated preterm births, the relative risk was increased by 52%. Each per unit increase in the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio increased the relative risk for preterm birth by 19%.
Fetal weight growth restriction was associated with elevated levels of insulin in early pregnancy (RR = 1.14) and elevated levels of diastolic blood pressure (RR = 1.27).
"The complex underlying processes that explain these findings require additional study," Dr. Chatzi and colleagues said. "Further follow-up of this cohort will allow (us to determine) if metabolic syndrome in early pregnancy has, in addition, an effect on cardiovascular risk in childhood and also long-term maternal health risks."

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
"Excellent company "
I have been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
Highly motivated group of people who enjoy working there.

"Put in more than you get back. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a contractor (more than an year)Pros
-Warner Bros. produces great content, is an industry leader in home entertainment, and is more innovative than other studios with exploring new initiatives; you would be proud to be a part of it.
-Not an overly corporate atmosphere where you are micromanaged
-A lot of great, smart people work here
-Some people are paid well compared to other places; but it dependsCons
-The Home Entertainment group consists of home video, digital, and interactive... the distribution of individual resources given to each of these subsets is wildly imbalanced, and frankly, makes little rational sense considering trends, numbers, expectations, etc.
-Strong sense of competitiveness between different groups; there isn't a natural tendency to collaborate and share, it's like a fake niceness when they see the others as a threat or someone who could potentially put you out of a job
-A lot of the hardest workers (with the best experience/education) are perpetual contractors that are overworked and underpaid with little to no longterm career prospects - regardless of how well they perform. There seems to be more and more emphasis on cheap labor, which is not a smart way to run the business in the longterm because outside of a bad economy, you give valuable team members absolutely NO motivation to stay... which then makes the team suffer in regards to constant turnover and no one left that is aware of how to get things done.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Reward good work, not politics. Pay attention to what is best for where the company/industry is headed.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

WB offers the chance to work on great titles. You get the opportunity to interface closely with the artists and have a lot of responsibility.Cons
Employees are stressed and unhappy. Working in a shrinking industry creates tense, insecure managers who hide and hoard information. There is no sense of teamwork and meritocracy does not exist. My advice is to get your experience and get out.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Flood maps prompt costly insurance hikes for homeowners
Ann Marie Morvant has lived in the Bayou Gauche community for 14 years -- an area in St. Charles Parish that has never flooded.
However, the days may be numbered for the community under the new Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps. Her neighborhood now falls below the recommended elevation.
"It's insane," Morvant said. "It's truly a no-win situation."
The new flood maps also comes with a steep increase in flood insurance.
"It would change my policy to $12-15,000," she said. Morvant currently pays $325 annually for flood insurance.
The hike is part of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act passed by congress last year. The legislation directed FEMA to reasses how people pay flood insurance.
"Every foot you are below the base flood elevation your premium is going to be $5,000," said St Charles parish president V.J. St Pierre.
St. Pierre said it would cost someone $15,000 if that person was three feet below the elevation.
High Insurance rates may deter anyone looking to buy a home in the area.
"People can't afford to pay anywhere from $5-20,000 a year on top of their house notes, regular insurance, car notes, utility bills, kids in school, grocery bills," St. Pierre said. "I mean, who can afford that?"
In the weeks since the FEMA maps have been released, Morvant said there have already been changes in the housing market.
Morvant said her property value has already dropped.
"There were a couple of houses that were supposed to have closings. They have already bailed on them," Morvant said.
St. Pierre said about 10,000 families in St. Charles Parish alone will be affected. Part of the reason he and 19 other parish presidents are headed to Washington D.C. next week to meet with members of congress.
"They cant let this happen," St. Pierre said.
Morvant said it was unacceptable.
"The only way we can get it fixed is if we continue to fight," she said.
The St. Charles Parish Council has voted to appeal the maps. Citizens in St. Charles Parish have launched a Facebook page in opposition to the new flood maps.
Through social media, they've teamed up with some Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey who face similar rate hikes.
The 2013 hurricane season begins in less than a month.
The FEMA maps are the topic of this weekend's edition of the "Hot Seat."
The "Hot Seat" airs Sunday night at 10pm.

It felt like cutting into a flat marshmallow with the side of a fork, soft yet still a bit firm, but instead of gelatin I was digging into a hot, perfectly crisped buckwheat crepe, its sides carefully folded inwards to shape it like a perfect square. The folded flaps create a rectangle in the middle that, like a looking glass, reveals the thin layer of whipped eggs and bubbly, faintly charred cheddar inside. It's dusted with pepper, and pocked with small pools of melted butter.
Paired with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, it's breakfast for under $5 in Casco Viejo at La Petite Bretagne, and yes, it's easily polished off in under 5 minutes too.
Opened on February 9, 2012, and located in a lovingly restored Spanish colonial building once used a dentist office before extensive renovations five years ago, La Petite Bretagne is a cute, sparsely decorated space drenched with ample sunshine thanks to large double-hung windows facing Calle 11. The owners are Lorraine and François-Marie Le Baud, a French couple who moved to Panama City last August after previously calling places like Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Montreal home. Along with a few kids, they also imported a taste of their family's rich Brittany heritage.
"All of our recipes are traditional Breton recipes from my husband's grandmother, and our specialities are named using Breton words," says Lorraine Le Baud. "For instance, ta-coz means "grandfather", and refers to my husband's grandfather who loved sweet desserts, so our ta-coz is a sweet crepe with sauteed apples, toasted almonds, Breton caramel, vanilla ice cream, and fresh chantilly."
Though Lorraine hails from the French island of Corsica, François-Marie often vacationed with his cousins in the French region of Brittany at Carnac, a small village on the Gulf of Morbihan most known for the over 3,000 standing Prehistoric stones that surround it. His grandfather, the one with the sweet tooth, was also born in Brittany, the region that inspires La Petite Bretagne's spare menu that includes crepes, galettes, salads, fresh juices, and ice cream. "Cuisine from Brittany is simple, since it used to be one of the poorest region in France" says Lorraine. "Nevertheless, the ingredients used are very healthy. For example, buckwheat is gluten-free, low in calories, and full of vitamins."
I've not yet traveled to Brittany myself, and don't know what I'd do there if I did (aside from, you know, walking through fields of megalithic structures that can be seen from space), but if the savory crepes served in Brittany are as toothsome as the one I recently enjoyed at La Petite Bretagne, I know, at least, that I'll be eating quite well indeed.
La Petite Bretagne is located at the corner of Calle 11 and Avenida Central in Casco Viejo, Panama City. +507 670 35403. Open Monday – Saturday from 9am – 10:30pm (breakfast until 11am). Cash only.

Krishan Sabnani
Vice President of Networking Research
Bell Labs
Abstract: With the 260%/year growth of mobile traffic in recent years, cellular operators world-wide have begun deploying new wideband access technologies (such as 4G LTE) along with small cells. Each operator must also increase the amount of spectrum used in its network to keep pace with the traffic. By some estimates, a total of 1.2 - 1.7 GHz is needed to deal with the expected traffic load. However, finding new spectrum, a scarce resource, will be difficult. The cost of infrastructure deployment and operations are additional serious issues.
When a resource is expensive and/or scarce, the most common solution is the concept of dynamic sharing among multiple interested entities. We believe that advances in key areas (such as RF processing in software, virtualization technologies, wideband digital radios and near real-time network monitoring) will enable sharing of spectrum and infrastructure virtualization, in a way similar to the virtualization and cloud revolutions in the computing industry. This talk will highlight current Bell Labs programs that will enable dynamic sharing. It will also briefly touch on the regulatory steps necessary to ensure a smooth evolution.
Biography: Krishan Sabnani is currently Vice President of Networking Research at Bell Labs. He manages all networking research in Bell Labs, comprising nine departments in six countries: USA, France, Germany, Ireland, India, and Belgium. Krishan has conceived and launched numerous systems projects in the areas of internetworking and wireless networking. His successful transfers of research ideas to products in Alcatel-Lucent and (previously) AT&T business units have had a major positive impact on the business. Krishan has also conducted extensive personal research in data and wireless networking. His contributions have played a major role in modern mobile networks, and his recent breakthrough re-engineering of routers has launched a revolution in network designs.
Krishan received the 2005 IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award and the 2005 IEEE W. Wallace McDowell Award. He is a Bell Labs Fellow and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). He received the Leonard G. Abraham Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Communications Society in 1991 and the 2005 Distinguished Alumni Award from the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India. He also won the Thomas Alva Patent Award from the R&D Council of New Jersey in 2005, 2009, and 2010. He holds 40 patents and has published more than 70 papers.
Krishan received his B. Tech. in electrical engineering from IIT Delhi in 1975, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Columbia University, New York, in 1981. He joined Bell Labs in 1981.

I got out my big camera again yesterday and caught some fun expressions from this boy. He is so curious and fun right now. Also, I wanted to capture him in his new crib. We finally bought one from Ikea and he loves it. He was sleeping in a pack-n-play this whole time which worked great for us with moving and everything but it was time to get him a real bed.
He rolled over for the first time yesterday - the baby days are going too fast! I just hug and kiss this kid all day long - We love him so much.

Naugatuck is keeping the signs in line
Zoning officer cracking down on businesses violating rules
NAUGATUCK — For a year, large "Verizon Wireless" flags flew over Route 63 outside The Cellular Connection at 1007 New Haven Road. A-frame signs had flanked the busy street since the store opened two years ago.
About a month ago, Zoning Enforcement Officer Steve Macary told manager Phil Ribeiro the flags had to come down and the A-frames had to be pulled away from the road.
