Corporations and the First Amendment
Nationally noted First Amendment scholars, attorneys, policymakers and activists will explore how corporations, corporate law and First Amendment jurisprudence influence an active democracy at a seminar at Seattle University School of Law Friday, October 20.
Sessions throughout the day will help attendees understand how corporate law and structure intersect with the First Amendment jurisprudence that governs fundamental aspects of democracy – including access to information and a functioning political process – in order to assess the health of civil society and to develop strategies to protect it. The conference is hosted by the Center on Corporations, Law & Society at Seattle University School of Law in collaboration with noted First Amendment Scholar and SU Professor of Law David Skover and with the assistance of Seattle University Law Review.
Among the topics on the agenda are:
- Should Corporations Have First Amendment Rights?
- Corporations & Commercial Speech
- Corporations & Political Speech: Should Speech Equal Money?
- The Corporatization of Communication
Mark Crispin Miller, professor of culture and communication at New York University Steinhardt School of Education and the author of "Fooled Again" and "Boxed In: The Culture of TV," will be the keynote speaker.
Other participants include Solange E. Bitol-Hansen, national programs director for Public Campaign; Jeffrey Chester, executive director, Center for Digital Democracy; Ron Collins, scholar, First Amendment Center; Robert Corn-Revere, partner, Davis Wright Tremaine, Washington, D.C.; Charlie Cray, director of the Center for Corporate Policy; Eric Chiappinelli, professor and Associate Dean for Alumni and Professional Relations, SU School of Law; Lisa Danetz, staff attorney, National Voting Rights Institute; Bruce Freed, co-director of the Center for Political Accountability; Dana Gold, director, Center on Corporations, Law & Society, SU School of Law;. Daniel Greenwood, professor, Quinney College of Law, University of Utah; Tamara Piety, professor, University of Tulsa College of Law; Lawrence Soley, professor of communication and journalism, Marquette University; Scott Thomas, former chairman, Federal Election Commission; David Vladeck, professor, Georgetown University School of Law; and Adam Winkler, professor of law, University of California Los Angeles.
The seminar runs from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Room C5 of Seattle University School of Law. Registration is $225; $200 for SU Law Alumni; $125 for public interest/nonprofit; and $100 for the general public.

Form 18 appended to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides a form complaint for pleading patent infringement. To the chagrin of many defendants, Form 18 has been used to justify very bare-bones complaints of patent infringement even after the Supreme Court's Iqbal and Twombley decisions requiring more detailed pleading. Now Form 18 may be […]
Goodbye to Form 18?
Failure to Meet Indirect Patent Infringement Pleading Standard (and Possible Rule 11 Question)
Judge Gilstrap in the Eastern District of Texas has granted defendants' motion to dismiss a complaint of indirect patent infringement where the plaintiff failed to meet the applicable pleading standards. Babbage Holdings, LLC v. Activision Blizzard, Inc., No. 2:13-CV-750 (E.D. Tex. May 15, 2014 (and seven related cases). Further, because Babbage's original, first amended, and […]
Knowledge Not Enough for Induced Patent Infringement
A retailer's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss a claim of induced patent infringement has been granted where the only allegation of intent to induce infringement rested on the retailer's alleged knowledge that the product's user manual instructed customers to perform infringing acts. Tierra Intelectual Borinquen, Inc. v. ASUS Computer Int'l, Inc., No. 2:13-CV-38-JRG (E.D. Texas […]
Pleading Indirect and Willful Patent Infringement Requires Specific Allegations
Claims for induced, contributory, and willful patent infringement were dismissed (without prejudice) because the plaintiff failed to allege facts sufficient to support its claims. Unisone Strategic IP, Inc. v. Life Techs. Corp., No. 3:13-cv-1278-GPC-JMA (S.D. Cal. Oct. 22, 2013). The plaintiff had alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,996,538, directed to "[a] system and method […]
Conclusory Pleadings Insufficient to Support Indirect Patent Infringement Claims
While the Federal Circuit has held that adherence to Form 18 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is sufficient to support a claim of direct patent infringement, courts have not uniformly addressed the requirements for pleading indirect infringement, i.e., contributory infringement and infringement by inducement. In one recent example, the court held that a […]
Form 18 Trumps Iqbal and Twombley, Says Fed. Cir.
Form 18 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is the definitive authority concerning whether a plaintiff has adequately plead a claim of patent infringement. K-Tech Telecommunications, Inc. v. Time-Warner Cable, Inc., Nos. 2012-1425 and 2012-1446 (Fed. Cir. April 18, 2013). If Form 18 conflicts with Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007) […]
Patent Complaint Satisfying Form 18 (Reluctantly) Allowed
Although denying a motion to dismiss a complaint of direct patent infringement, a Massachusetts District Court has pointedly stated that "[i]t is difficult to reconcile the simplistic approach for asserting a patent infringement claim contemplated by Rule 84 and Form 18 [of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] with the pleading standards announced in [Ashcroft v. Iqbal, […]
When Must Joint Patent Infringement Be Plead?
After Yahoo argued that the plaintiff should be required to meet the standard for pleading divided, or joint, patent infringement, a Delaware magistrate judge has recommended denying Yahoo's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint for direct patent infringement. Pragmatus AV, LLC v. Yahoo! Inc., No. 11-902-LPS-CJB (D. Del. Nov. 13, 2012). The court believed that […]
Patent Complaint Fails Form 18 Pleading Standard
Two different district judges have dismissed the same patent plaintiff's complaint (with leave to amend) where the complaint failed to identify accused products or link them to patent claims. PB&J Software, LLC v. BackupAgent B.V., No. 4:12CV691 CDP (E.D. Mo. Oct. 15, 2012). The court first explained that, as the Federal Circuit set forth in […]
What is the Pleading Standard for Invalidity Counterclaims?
Bare-bones counterclaims alleging invalidity of patents-in-suit were held sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and 8(a). Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC v. J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc., No. 11 CV 9143 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 28, 2012). J.C. Penney had pled six nearly identical invalidity counterclaims. Helferich, the plaintiff, "argue[d] J.C. […]

A simplified and cheaper way to provide these services has come in the form of a partnership with the Bradley County Health Department.
The partnership led to the establishment of a medical room at the juvenile justice center earlier this month.
juvenile court director Terry Gallaher said there has always been a need for consistent medical care.
Many of the children have not received regular medical care before being arrested.
"They are here and they have a lot of needs, physical as well as emotional, so that's what we're screening for," health department director Eloise Waters said.
A nurse is on site Monday through Friday for at least two hours. Waters said this may be extended in the future depending on need.
Waters said public health nurses have to be good with people. She said she asked the nurses who would like to volunteer to serve at the juvenile justice center first.
Waters said registered nurses will provide wellness exams and immunizations as needed.
Gallaher said the nurses can also help with medications the children are taking or issues that arise such as scabies or lice.
The nurses can also provide sexually transmitted disease screening and treatment, and tuberculosis skin testing. Pregnancy testing will be provided when deemed necessary by the nurse.
Previously, when a child in custody needed medical attention he or she had to be transported to a hospital or walk-in clinic, depending on which was open at the time, Gallaher said.
Those needing emergency care will still be taken to the hospital or paramedics will be called, Gallaher said.
Gallaher said the arrangement will also free up corrections officers from having to leave the facility to transport the child. Two officers are required for transport.
The services are being funded from the juvenile court's current budget. Waters said the medical exam bed was secured from a health department in another county, saving some costs.
Before a public health nurse could come to the juvenile court, the program had to receive state approval.
The first day a nurse was at the facility highlighted the benefits.
Gallaher said a girl had an epileptic seizure in the courtroom and the nurse was able to treat the child until paramedics arrived.
"Most people don't know what to do. All our correctional officers get a certain amount of training on how to handle that, but nobody can do it like a trained professional," Gallaher said.
The juvenile court director said he feels adding the medical care also helps students understand that the juvenile court wants to help them.
"I think sometimes these kids are scared to death when they are incarcerated, and I think when they see a nurse that it just calms them down a little bit — helps them feel more secure," Gallaher said. "All of the nurses are very professional in attitude and personality. They are very good at what they do and ... very, very good with children."
Any child incarcerated for 14 days is required by state law to have a physical exam.
Gallaher said he hopes that after the children are released the families will continue routine medical checkups and care.
Gallaher said many times children are found to have medical issues after they are arrested.
Waters said two or three nurses will rotate filling the position.

Vegan Cookies from Allison's Gourmet
Personal Development for Smart People
Vegan Nutrition with Jill Nussinow, MS, RDJill Nussinow is a Registered Dietitian, culinary educator, cookbook author, speaker and consultant and all around proponent of a plant-based diet. She teaches vegetarian and vegan cooking at Santa Rosa Junior College in California and other places around the US. She has a son who is almost 15. One of her greatest joys is sharing her enthusiasm for vegetables and pressure cooking with anyone who will listen.
My boyfriend and I have recently become vegan. I was vegetarian for three years previous he however was omnivore with a less than healthy eating habits but extremely high metabolism. My question is this; He has been losing weight very rapidly and I have been actually gaining weight! Which is really quite to opposite of what we would like to happen. Do you have any tips for us?
Article continues below
I am curious about which foods you are including now that you didn't before. It seems to me that you'd have eliminated dairy and eggs and that would make your diet lower in calories, unless you are substituting something for those products, perhaps vegan versions of meat products, processed vegan foods and more of them.
If your boyfriend wants to maintain, not lose, weight, he may need to include more foods with healthy fats such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds and nut and seed butters more often. I'd recommend that he eat frequently throughout the day and continue to choose healthful foods.
You, on the other hand, would be better off snacking often on vegetables throughout the day to cut calories.
If you are both trying to maintain your weight while you eat a healthy vegan diet, you will likely have to make adjustments along the way. Consulting with a Registered Dietitian or nutritionist might be helpful.

Joe's Jeans CEO Talks to TheStreet
LOS ANGELES ( TheStreet) -- Joe's Jeans (JOEZ) has seen its share price nearly triple even as the company moves out of its comfort zone of premium denim products and works to open a handful of new retail stores.
Joe's Jeans said net sales increased 41% to $23.2 million in the first quarter, with nearly 20% of those sales coming from non-denim product category. The company's stock has rocketed from $1.50 in October to $3.60 in April, the highest level in nearly five years.
Joe's Jeans CEO Marc Crossman sat down for a conversation with TheStreet shortly after the company reported first-quarter results to discuss the company's recent history, the challenges of launching its new non-denim products in a very competitive market, and excitement over new retail stores opening soon.
TheStreet: What's your general take on Joe's Jeans business and your view of the industry?Crossman: As you know, we've historically been in the premium denim business, defined by our group as over $120. So you're talking about True Religion (TRLG), 7 Jeans, Rock & Republic. The business as we see it is good, although it's not in that explosive category that it used to be. Look at True Religion. They were doubling the size of their company every 12 months just on the wholesale side of the business. The days of floor space being expanded and sell-through of 25% per week and those astronomical numbers are gone. But it's still a very attractive, very profitable business, talking from the department store standpoint. For our retailers, it's a very profitable business. It's not a business that is highly trend-specific, if you will. You're not in and out and constantly rotating. The core basic denim styles can be run for up to a year. There is such a good, healthy core component to it. For us, the business grows anywhere from 10% to 15%. It varies from quarter to quarter due to seasonality, but I would say that's probably a good approximation of what the business is doing. I know we're taking market share. I can't tell if the business overall is growing at that healthy of a clip, but it's certainly not declining now.

Physical Safety | News
The same useful features that enable security administrators to monitor surveillance cameras from any Web browser are also fraught with security vulnerabilities, according to a security services company. Gotham Digital Science recently posted a blog write-up that described how an unauthorized person could gain remote access to a closed circuit television video system. Doing so would allow that user to view video being captured with the camera, gain access to archived video footage, and, if supported by the particular model of camera, control the direction of the camera. Also, the company reported, many of the organizations running video surveillance may never know that an attacker has gained access to the system.
According to Justin Cacak, who penned the blog entry, the vulnerability can be tested with the use of a new tool added to the Metasploit Framework, a part of the Metasploit open source security project that allows testers to develop and execute exploit code against a specified target. So far the tool has been run against surveillance gear from MicroDigital, Hivision, and CTRing, as well as a "substantial number of other rebranded devices," the blog entry stated. Many of these systems are rebranded by other vendors and sold under different names in the United States
A common problem is that often the password that provides remote access to the device is never changed. "Typically, in over 70 percent of cases the device is still configured with the default vendor password which allows trivial access to real time video, the ability to control PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, and access to any archived footage," Cacak wrote.
During its testing, in cases where the default password had been changed, the company used a network proxy to intercept and modify network data for non-proxy-aware applications, allowing researchers to determine valid and invalid users and authentication responses. That in turn allowed them to develop software that could validate user accounts, exclude non-valid ones, and use "brute force logins" to gain entry to the video systems.
"It is likely that other manufacturers and CCTV devices are similarly vulnerable," Cacak noted. Gotham recommended that organizations protect themselves against unauthorized breaches by changing default passwords, using strong passwords, filtering access to trusted hosts, and exposing the video system to the Internet only "if absolutely necessary."
The company also suggested that security professionals try out the new Metasploit module, available in the Metasploit Framework, to scan their networks for vulnerable systems.

I was born and raised in the street rod community. Going to shows was always a family thing. My dad has taught me a lot about cars and how to work on them. He is my biggest hero and has over six cars of his own. I have had a 1940 Pontiac Deluxe for five years now that we completly redone. It is under black primer at the moment. My baby is tubbed out with 16 1/2in Mickeys under the rear, 350 small block chevy with racing cam, narrowed front end by dad of course, and a Ford 9in rear end, and lots more alterations. Street rodding is what I do all summer long with my family, and now my son is already asking for his own at 6yrs. old.

Greece Gets Hint of Leeway From Euro Officials [Bloomberg]
May 16, 2012 Leave a comment
By James G. Neuger and Josiane Kremer
European governments hinted at giving Greece extra time to meet budget-cut targets, as long as the financially stricken country's feuding politicians put together a ruling coalition committed to austerity.
Calling talk of a Greek pullout from the euro "nonsense" and "propaganda," Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said only a "fully functioning" Greek government would be entitled to tinker with the conditions attached to 240 billion euros ($308 billion) of rescue aid.
"The government would have to stand by the program," Juncker told reporters after chairing a meeting of euro-area finance ministers in Brussels late yesterday. "If there are dramatic changes in circumstances, we wouldn't close ourselves off to a debate over extending the deadlines."
Greece's post-election impasse multiplied the signs of stress in European markets yesterday. The euro fell for the 10th time in 11 days and stocks surrendered a two-day gain. Bond yields in recession-wracked Spain, the next potential candidate for financial support, touched a five-month high.
"The euro breakup story is gathering steam again," Marchel Alexandrovich, a senior European economist at Jefferies International in London, said in a research note. "If Greece were to ever exit the euro, no amount of reassuring comments will convince investors that other countries won't soon follow."

Looking into Nursing Program, Weighing my options - page 2
hello all, i am looking for advice on which program would be the most logical in my situation to attend. i have a bachelors of music and have applied to (schools in houston texas) chamberlain school of nursing, houston... Read More
- 0Mar 27, '11 by jennylouwhoAnother thing to consider is getting a job in a hospital now. Many hospitals will help pay (or pay for entirely) your schooling. Our local hospital even has ties with the community college that ensures X amount of their employees be accepted into the nursing program each semester, so people working there can get away with not waiting the two years that I'll have waited when I start in the fall.
- 0Mar 27, '11 by jerpQuote from newRNstudent02Thank you will do. I am weighing all of my options. I will continue to work for my BSN so I appreciate your kind thoughts!Oh I see. Chamberlain is exclusively for nursing. That explains the fees. There are so many different ways to become a nurse. The best thing you can do is look into all of them. Just keep in mind the finances and that it is imperative to get a BSN. It's hard to get a job as a new grad, but much harder for an ASN. Plus, considering that you already have a BN, I would think you would want a degree that would be equivalent. Good luck and study hard!!
- 1Mar 27, '11 by jerpQuote from jennylouwhoThats a great idea. I currently work at a Pain Clinic doing billing so maybe I can find a job in the hospital and try to make my way in. Tuition assistant/reimbursement would be lovely.Another thing to consider is getting a job in a hospital now. Many hospitals will help pay (or pay for entirely) your schooling. Our local hospital even has ties with the community college that ensures X amount of their employees be accepted into the nursing program each semester, so people working there can get away with not waiting the two years that I'll have waited when I start in the fall.
- 0Jun 6, '11 by msward1987I got accepted into Chamberlain and I begin classes this summer. I also have a Bachelors degree which helped me out tremendously. The only bad thing is how expensive the school is. I do not want any more loans, so I have been applying to as many scholarships as I can, one of which is the Nursing Scholarship program which if you get it they will pay for your entire nursing education but you have to dedicate two years to a facility where there is a shortage of nurses. My advice to you would be to apply to BSN programs because I heard more hospitals want you to have a BSN now rather than a ADN. Even though they both are RN's, so I dont get the point.
- 0Sep 18, '13 by fureliteI would totally take the pre-reqs at the Community College. Then you can either go forward with the ADN there, transfer to get your BSN, or get your ADN and then get a BSN through an online or hybrid program. Any of these will be much less than 70K. I have just applied to an ABSN program, and in order to do so I had to first complete 30 hrs of pre-reqs and I already have a Masters Degree in Psychology! I went to a private university the first time around, so they did not follow the Texas state core curriculum. This meant that in addition to getting all the sciences and whatnot, I had to take two semesters of Government and one of History! Oh, and wouldn't you know that of all the classes I took to get my masters in psychology, the ONE course (Lifespan Psych) needed for a pre-req to the ABSN program that I needed was one I didn't have under my other degrees! Talk about insult to injury. Anyway, I completed all 3O hours over one academic year at a Community College for maybe 3K. ONE CLASS at the University was going to cost $1200. Community Colleges are great for saving money.
- 0Sep 19, '13 by BusyBee91I'm in the same boat with trying to find financing for a second bachelors - to the extent actually, that I'm leaning towards the MSN-CNL - which is a entry to practice GENERALIST degree - so you qualify for graduate funding, but you are still just a regular RN when you graduate. Either way, I would DEFINITELY take your pre-reqs at the CC. In my experience, you can easily (and cheaply!) get a quality education at the CC level, if you are willing to research the professors before signing up, and put in the effort. Ratemyprofessor is my best friend!

Software Architect Tops Best Jobs List
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 14 October, 2010 – Software architect topped Money magazine's Top 100 Best Jobs list for the second year in a row.
Like architects who design buildings, they create the blueprints for software engineers to follow -- and pitch in with programming too. Plus, architects are often called on to work with customers and product managers, and they serve as a link between a company's tech and business staffs.
The job is credited as being "creatively challenging," and "engineers with good people skills are liberated from their screens. Salaries are generally higher than for programmers—a median of US $119,000 was mentioned—and a typical day has more variety.
The article noted that even though programming jobs are moving overseas, the face-to-face aspect of the position helps cement local demand. In fact, demand for software architects is expected to increase by 34 percent over the next decade. On the downside, because architects are outside the management chain of command, it's more difficult to get things done.
About one-quarter of the best jobs were related to computer or information technology. Database administrator ranked seventh, information security engineer 17th, software development director 18th, IT manager 20th, and telecom network engineer 21st.
A computer scientist ranked 35th and applications developer 38th on the best jobs list.
In terms of quality of life, a software development test engineer was deemed the seventh-least stressful job on the list and a computer and information scientist the 18th-most-highest-paying job.

Manolis Vlachos, Greek Painters after the War of Independence
Pages: 1 2
Excerpts from the Origins of Modern Greek Painting
Born in northern Europe, impressionism was a medium for plein air painting conceived for the light atmosphere of the North. The subjects depicted, shrouded by the broken brushstroke of the impressionist style, lost their sharp outline and pureness of color. On the other hand, the Mediterranean light is bright and strong. This quality is faithfully transposed by Greek artists in paintings with sharply diffused surfaces, bold shapes, a lack of detail, and a flattening of the chromatic surface. This style and technique is distinctly different from the Impressionists' with the dilution of shapes, fragmentation of the chromatic tone, and array of pure colors. The uniqueness of the Greek landscape called for an adaptation that came closer to the post-impressionist currents, such as the Nabis, fauvism and expressionism.
The Greek artists born around 1900 are known as the Generation of the Thirties. Receptive to new European trends, this generation was influenced by a number of new currents (such as fauvism, expressionism, cubism, metaphysical painting, abstract art, and surrealism). The importance of the opening decades of the twentieth century does not, however, lie only in this influx of new currents from Europe. It lies also in the freedom and subjectiveness of the choices of style and technique with which the artists expressed purely Greek themes. What is valued in their work is the degree of differentiation from academic tenets and the freedom of personal expression.
The Generation of the Thirties stood mainly for a return to Greek tradition and for an interpretation of this tradition through the channels of modern art. After the Asia Minor disaster, finding refuge in the life and art of Hellenism, including folk art, once more became a standard with which modern art should be reconciled.
The opening of Greece to Western European influences and art trends after the War of Independence also permitted the introduction of printmaking and its many possibilities for secular themes. The first engravings produced in Greece date back to the late eighteenth century. Intended for religious purposes, they were printed on Mount Athos, usually by anonymous monks, and offered to pilgrims. They depict famous monasteries and churches as well as the figures of Christ, the Virgin and various saints.
During the 1930s, a century after Greek independence, the Generation of the Thirties succeeded in fusing western and eastern idioms. The painters of that group turned to the Hellenic past, and drew inspiration from Byzantine and folk art traditions. They combined the languishing influence of German style and technique with innovative French trends, placing particular emphasis on the treatment of light and color. By the second half of the twentieth century, modern Greek painting had achieved a prominent position in European art.

What Are The Different Axleback Exhaust Options for a 2005-2009 Mustang?
When it comes to what kind of exhaust to use on your Mustang, you need to figure out what is most important to you. Do you want loud enough to wake your neighbors from the other side of the neighborhood, or just a mild to moderate note that gets you noticed but wont bother you after a long cruise? There are numerous different exhaust options to pick from for your 2005-2009 Mustang, but how do you choose? Hopefully after reading this, youll have a better understanding of what type of exhaust would be best for your application and taste.
What exactly is a Mustang's axleback exhaust?
An axleback exhaust is exactly what the name suggests its an over-the-axle exhaust upgrade that will directly replace everything from the rear axle back: the stock over-axle piping and the stock muffler(s). These systems are intended to be a direct bolt-on installation that can easily be swapped out in your driveway with the proper tools in about an hours time. An axleback does not directly connect to your mid-pipe on your Mustang, so if youre looking to upgrade your mid-pipe along with an axleback, the combinations are endless just as long as youre installing the pipes for your correct year and model.
Do I want a chambered muffler, resonator or muffler delete?
So you know you want to increase the exhaust sound on your Mustang, but where do you start? You first need to know the main differences between the (3) muffler styles in order to get the best idea of what you want to spend your hard earned dollars on.
1. A chambered muffler is the most popular choice of the different style mufflers on the market. While its the same style as the stock muffler found on your Mustang, the aftermarket version will offer less restriction and improved flow. One of our hottest chambered axlebacks is the Flowmaster American Thunder Axleback and has been described by customers as having a muscular, strong rumble that is great for daily driving.
2. The resonator style muffler, also known as a straight-through or shot gun style, contains minimal sound defectors which will in turn create a much louder, throaty sound. Theyre even less restrictive than the chambered style, offer less under car clutter and are great for full throttle sound gains. The Pypes Pype-Bomb Axleback is one of the more popular resonator systems for the Ford Mustang, described by customers as having a deep throaty sound with plenty of volume when you hit the gas.
3. The muffler delete is just that, an open pipe with no muffler. The delete will give you the most dramatic sound change of the (3) styles. With no restriction, these pipes will provide a raspy, race car type sound that proves to be very loud. Our Magnaflow Muffle-Delete Axleback is a great quality system that is sure to make anyone turn their head to find out what is coming their way.
With the increased flow that any of these muffler upgrades provide, youll find gains of up to 10 horsepower just from bolting it on, all while giving off some aggressive, muscle car sound.
Is a custom computer tune required with an axleback exhaust?
A very common question when modding your Mustang is whether or not the mod will require a new tune. Upgrading your axleback will not require you to reflash your Mustangs computer. You can just bolt those new beauties on and enjoy your new exhaust sound and performance.
Does a Mustang need additional exhaust hangers with an aftermarket axleback?
Sometime in 2007, Ford changed the style of exhaust hangers used to install the stock exhaust on the 2007 S197 Mustang. They switched from a "rubber and steel" hanger design to an "all rubber" hanger, which will not work correctly with the aftermarket exhaust systems on the produced today. You will want to visually check your exhaust prior to ordering any new exhaust to determine whether or not you will need this optional rubber and steel hanger kit. The SR Performance 304 Stainless Steel Exhaust Hanger Kit will provide more strength, stability and a cleaner installed appearance for any 2005-2009 Mustang that uses them.
Parts that complement your Mustang's new axleback
Since you are increasing the flow out the rear of your Mustang, its a great idea to also increase the airflow thats coming into your engine. A cold air intake and a new throttle body would be two great complements to your brand new axleback. To maximize the sound and performance gains associated with your new exhaust, be sure to check out our full line of Cold Air Intake, Throttle Body and Tune packages available.

Alessandra Ambrosio Almost Breaking the Law!
Sunday 4:10 PM, 17/05/2009
It should almost be illegal to look as good as Alessandra Ambrosio does! This weekend she and beau Jamie Mazur were out partying at Club Delux in Hollywood which they've been seen doing quite often lately. Luckily enough the couple always looks very fresh and sober when they leave the clubs which is nice to see since they have their little baby waiting at home for them!

Victoria Silvstedt Back in Sweden!
Sunday 10:10 AM, 17/05/2009
Supermodel Victoria Silvstedt is in her home country Sweden again and spent Saturday afternoon shopping at Sickla Köpkvarter in Nacka Forum. As usual Victoria was gorgeous in a white lace dress and high heels that showed off her very long legs! We're guessing the bombshell didn't leave the shopping mall empty-handed either as the fashionista is known for her splurging habits!

The press event for Season 2 was held at the Barron Hilton Estate yesterday afternoon for which the heiress wore a pretty green dress and sparkling shoes. Her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt was nowhere to be seen but since they never leave each other's side we're guessing he was somewhere in the background!

Contagious strikes - Workers Struggles in China
The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group is please to announce a public meeting on workers' struggles in China
Date: Thurs 23 February
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Venue: New International Book Shop, Trades Hall, Victoria St., Carlton 3053
In mid-2010 a strike wave rolled through Chinas factories, the most widespread and militant struggle of Chinas internal migrant workers so far.
The struggle shook the Chinese regime and provoked a world-wide debate: Is this the beginning of the end of the low-wage-model that stands behind Chinas rise to the "factory of the world" and providesthe rest of the world with cheap consumer products?
The strikes continued in 2011, and together with riots and peasant uprisings they are indicators for the increasing pressure for social change in China.
This talk/discussion (including a ten-minute film) will focus on thestrikes, the formation of a new working class movement in China, and the implications for social struggles around the world.

Fall flavors and the spirit of Halloween merge in this delightful dessert from the blog Fruit Tart. The blog's author created this luscious custard for a friend on a restricted diet. It consequently contains no wheat, gluten, dairy, or cane sugar. The creamy factor is made possible by eggs, which her friend can eat. Vist Fruit Tart for more wonderful recipes.
This recipe just didn't work for me. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but no matter how long I cooked it, the pumpkin never became a custard-like consistency. It had good flavor, but maintained the texture of pureed pumpkin.

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word Sycophant

Origin: First attested in 1537. From sycophanta, from συκοφάντης, itself from σῦκον + φαίνω.

The story behind this etymology is that politicians in ancient Greece steered clear of displaying that vulgar gesture, but urged their followers sub rosa to taunt their opponents by using it.

The key to American Psycho, a novel advertised as containing terrifying insights into the materialistic culture of the '80s, may be found in the publisher's disclaimer. Not only, we are assured, does author Bret Easton Ellis intend no reference to living persons, neither does he intend ''to disparage any company's products or services.'' Any more, that is, than he means to recommend that Manhattan yuppies torture, dismember, and devour their lovers in the manner of his hero, Wall Street banker Patrick Bateman. The murder and mayhem are there for the sake of literature, you see, and as such serve a higher purpose.
But it's all a great fraud. Apart from what they wear, Ellis knows less than zero about what Wall Street bankers do all day. His characters think, talk, and act like GQ mannequins, and Ellis' incantation of brand names allows him to traffic in just the stuff he pretends to abhor. Bateman's not just any maniac, see, he's a rich maniac with impeccable taste. Hopping into a limo for a night of hunting anonymous prey, we find him attired in ''a wing collar jacquard waistcoat by Kilgour, French & Stanbury from Barneys, a silk bow tie from Saks, patent-leather slip-ons by Baker-Benjes, antique diamond studs from Kentshire Galleries and a gray wool silk-lined coat with drop sleeves and a button-down collar by Luciano Soprani.''
Compared with a truly frightening book about the dehumanized '80s on Wall Street like Michael Lewis' nonfiction Liar's Poker, American Psycho's social criticism is purely sophomoric horrifying only for its author's utter lack of narrative skill. To say that Ellis creates two-dimensional characters would be to flatter his understanding of human nature.
It's when Bateman locates his prey, however, that American Psycho turns genuinely disturbing. The countless and obsessively detailed scenes of carnage roll on without purpose or emotion, leaving the reader numb to the narrative but appalled by its creator. Picture the most explicitly degrading porno movie imaginable. Add Charles Manson with a shop full of torture instruments.
So what does it all mean? Toward the end and entirely out of the blue, Ellis has Bateman deliver the deep hidden meaning. ''Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead. Fear, recrimination, innocence, sympathy, guilt, waste, failure, grief, were things, emotions, that no one really felt anymore....God is not alive....Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in.'' Yeah, sure. The only terrifying insights American Psycho gives are into the mind of its creator and the moral incoherence of those who have published it in the name of literature. F

Cook Co. board to slash tax on businesses that shop across the border
BY DAVID ROEDER AND JON SEIDEL Staff Reporters June 17, 2013 4:44PM
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle | Sun-Times files
Updated: July 19, 2013 6:28AM
The Cook County Board is expected Wednesday to slash a tax that mostly applies to business purchases made outside of the county.
Aides to County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said commissioners will vote on reducing the tax on purchases of non-titled personal property. The rate would be cut to 0.75 percent from 1.25 percent.
The tax applies to sales outside of Cook County for tangible goods such as office supplies and furniture, but not real estate or vehicles. Buyers in Cook County are liable for the tax once their purchases exceed $3,500 per year.
It was instituted in 2012 to capture revenue from deals by Chicago-area companies seeking to avoid the county's sales tax. It was promoted as part of a "buy local" push to keep business within the county.
But the tax and its reporting requirements drew complaints. At least two lawsuits accuse the county of illegally imposing a value-based tax not authorized by the state Legislature. Preckwinkle has argued the tax falls within the county's home-rule powers.
The proposed rate of 0.75 percent would match the county's sales tax rate.
John Carpenter, chief operating officer at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the "positive gesture" by Preckwinkle but said the county still lacks the authority to impose the tax. "This makes it just a little bit less illegal," he said.
Budget Director Andrea Gibson said the partial rollback will cost the county $5 million in its fiscal 2013, which ends in December, and $14 million in fiscal 2014. The tax went into effect April 1.
In another change, those owing the tax would have to report their purchases quarterly instead of monthly starting in December, said a spokeswoman for Preckwinkle.
Ten of the County Board's 17 commissioners are co-sponsors of the ordinance to lower the tax. They include Democrats and Republicans. Among them is John Daley, a Democrat who chairs the board's Finance Committee.

You see, normally, any one of those manipulations would send me into a white-hot rage, especially considering three other terrific contestants Ju'Not Joyner, Kristen McNamara, and Felicia Barton saw their own hopes for the season 8 finals dimmed by said imbalances. But tonight, I'm oddly calm. And when I think long and hard about it, it's because deep down, I know it would be insincere for me to argue against any one of the six aforementioned contestants scoring a spot in the final 12.
Oh sure, for my money, I'd take Ju'Not's gorgeous restraint over Jorge's unrepentant bombast, and choose Kristen's saucy vocal stylings over Scott's pleasant but milquetoast tendencies. And, well, if I'm going to get behind a sweet diva mom who offers powerful (if not entirely original) renditions of recent R&B hits, there's part of me that wants to crankily side with the one who hasn't been forced on me like lima beans to a grade-schooler, even if the more hyped one sang better.
But whatever. When it comes to Idol heartbreak, there are far worse cases than a ''Lil-or-Felicia'' death match. Heck, this season alone, we've seen Michael Sarver (how lucky does dude look now?) pilfer a Silver Stool of Safety that should've gone to Anoop Desai or Ricky Braddy. And looking back on the show's long and controversial history, outrage in the Idol nation over a ''Jorge-over-Ju'Not'' (or ''Ju'Not-over-Jorge'') vote-off would be infinitesimal compared to the Doomsday scenarios of yesteryear like Jasmine Trias over Jennifer Hudson, or Haley Scarnato over Sabrina Sloan. (Yeah, the latter decision still stings.)
In other words, when I finish an Idol semfinal telecast and realize I've gotten at least some enjoyment from nine of the 12 performances, I know I'd better stifle my inner Cranky McCrankenpants, try to tune out the off-key caterwauling of the Idol backup singers, and let my inner Paula go run through the poppy fields. (Blame that last sentence on the Mucinex, people! I told you I have a chest cold!)
NEXT: Ju'Not, your are good
