Norton Security Suite caused more problems than it was worth with Tiger 10.4.11 even after help from Norton. Uninstalling it and Installing Intego's Virus Barrier along with Net Barrier (now in a combination) worked fine. I've used Intego's software since 2005 when Norton's product was also inadequate for my use.
Comcast doesn't support Mac very well, especially with antivirus stuff. You can look at the format on this forum and see that it is totally Microsoft stuff. In the future ignore anything that relates to anti spam, viruses, etc. They do NOT, DO Not support Mac. Use what you can. Stick to the usual stuff and don't get hooked into anything EXTRA. You'll only get disappointed.

CAIRO - Twenty-one football fans and club members were sentenced to death on Saturday, January 26, over Egypt's worst-ever football tragedy, sparking deadly violence in the canal city of Port Said.
"I thank God that justice is back in the courts of Egypt, the mother of Mustafa Issam, who was killed in last year's football tragedy in Port Said, told Nile TV by phone.Many mothers will sleep sound tonight knowing justice is served.

Egypt Tragedy Reignites Soccer Hooliganism Fears
Judge Sobhy Abdel Maguid ordered the death sentence for 21 people over their role in the killing of 72 fans of Cairo club Al-Ahly during their football games with local Al-Masry club in Port Said last year.
They are criminals. They killed my son, the mother of Ahmed Wageeh, 19, who was killed in the massacre, was quoted as saying by Al-Youm Al-Sabae.They threw my son from the top of the stadium after ripping off his clothes, she added, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
The sentence sparked explosions of joy inside and outside the court in Cairo.
God is greatest, one relative of a victim shouted, Reuters reported.
Women ululated, relatives hugged and shouted Allahu Akbar (God is greatest).
I am satisfied with the verdict, another man who lost his son in the massacre told Agence France Presse (AFP) as he wept outside the court.
Hassan Mustafa, had pinned a picture of his dead friend to his chest and said he was pleased with the verdict, but wanted "justice served for those who planned the killing."
Outside Al Ahly club in Cairo, hardcore fans of Al-Ahly club known as the Ultras also cheered.
A total of 73 people have been standing trial. Other rulings will be issued on March 9, the judge said.
The court has now handed the verdict to the country's top cleric for his final opinion.
Executions in Egypt must be authorized by the Grand Mufti.
But the court verdict sparked deadly violence in Port Said, which left at least 36 people killed.
"It has been decided to deploy some units to work for calm and stability and the protection of public establishments," senior army officer General Ahmed Wasfi said in a statement carried by the official MENA news agency.
Following the ruling, residents rampaged through the streets in anger that people from their city had been blamed.
Medics said at least 36 people were killed and hundreds injured in attempts to storm the prison were the defendants are being held.
Unidentified assailants used automatic weapons against police who responded with tear gas, witnesses said.
A witness said some men stormed two police stations in the city.
Shops closed and armoured personnel vehicles were deployed as fighting raged in some streets around the prison.
Despite the violence, officials confirmed that shipping through Egypt's Suez Canal was proceeding as normal on Saturday.
"Shipping movement through the Suez Canal is regular and is going ahead positively," canal spokesman Tarek Hassanein told Reuters, adding 44 ships had entered the canal so far on Saturday.
The violence came a day after at least nine people were killed protests marking the 2nd anniversary of the revolution that ousted president Hosni Mubarak."The state of polarization between Islamists and others is most likely to continue and will have very negative impact on the state's politics, security and economy," Mustapha Kamal Al-Sayyid, a professor of political science at Cairo University, told Reuters.

i've got a bad feeling about this
Last week saw the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, and along with it came discussions about the best way to watch the film and what we can expect from future re-releases. Michael Kaminski wrote the exhaustively researched and illuminating book The Secret History of Star Wars, so he knows damn near everything there is to know about the film stock used to shoot the film. George Lucas famously said that the original film "doesn't exist" anymore, but is that accurate?
We asked Kaminksi about the master copy of the original Star Wars. What does it look like now? "The term 'master copy' is slightly vague, because there are various kinds of print masters of different generations," he told Ars. The original negative is conformed to the 1997 Special Edition, meaning the physical copy has been cut and edited with CGI "improvements." With sections of the film being too damaged to work with, parts of that print were taken from other sources. "You never throw away your original negative, so I must assume that any pieces or shots that were removed are in storage somewhere at Lucasfilm or Fox," he explained.

the idiot box
i've seen a lot of bad television growing up in the 80's with state run television. and since there was only one channel which was on, we watched anything that it showed. anything in english was a bonus. luckily, i was too young to care what i saw and was only allowed an hour or two in the evening during dinner. but i caught up pretty quick. going through this website brought back a lot of fond memories of really bad shows. there's some great art work there and i went through each and every single image. easily take you a half hour to go through them all but well worth it. i sincerely admire all the artists who have the vision to put together this sort of stuff and grateful that they would share it online for us. i think my favourite image is of danger mouse showed below. click on through for some wonderful memories.
fictional bailouts
even luthercorp needs a bailout every now and again. starring the wonderful jon hamm of 'mad men' fame, which you should go watch immediately if you haven't. it's probably the best show on television i saw last year. anyway, click below for a humorous time.
the science of sound
acoustics is the study and science of sound. unfortunately it is a dying science these days with the explosion of digital media. more and more people are readily accepting shitty quality of sound to enjoy their listening. how people enjoy music using their cellphones as a music player is beyond me. ipods and other players are just as much to blame as digital audio files are compressed into such a small file that all good quality audio is sucked right out of it. an audio cd for example has an average track of five minutes which uncompressed goes anywhere from 50 to 100 MB. an mp3 of the same track would be an average of 5 mb. there's something wrong with that picture.
now it seems like things are getting worse, as people seem to think that the decompression of the audio on the fly (and the "noise" that comes with it) is part of the actual track and they seem to prefer the screechy scratchy sounds in mp3's.
personally, i don't feel audiophiles have much to be worried about as vinyl and cd's aren't gonna disappear anywhere in the near future, but they are definitely getting harder to find and unfortune as it is, we pay more for shitty sounding music and less for good sounding music.
"Jonathan Berger, a professor of music at Stanford, tests his incoming students each year by having them listen to a variety of recordings which use different formats from MP3 to ones of much higher quality, and he reports that each year the preference for music in MP3 format rises. Berger says that young people seemed to prefer 'sizzle sounds' that MP3s bring to music because it is a sound they are familiar with. 'The music examples included both orchestral, jazz and rock music. When I first did this I was expecting to hear preferences for uncompressed audio and expecting to see MP3 (at 128, 160 and 192 bit rates) well below other methods (including a proprietary wavelet-based approach and AAC),' writes Berger. 'To my surprise, in the rock examples the MP3 at 128 was preferred. I repeated the experiment over 6 years and found the preference for MP3 — particularly in music with high energy (cymbal crashes, brass hits, etc) rising over time.' Dale Dougherty writes that the context of the music changes our perception of the sound, particularly when it's so obviously and immediately shared by others. 'All that sizzle is a cultural artifact and a tie that binds us. It's mostly invisible to us but it is something future generations looking back might find curious because these preferences won't be obvious to them."

the slow and inevitable doom of the art of handwriting is sure to come about. the bbc describes it. i remember the days of three lined pages to teach hand writing and urdu calligraphy. i highly doubt that this will be the case in even ten or fifteen years from now, much less a century from now.
"When your great-great-grandchildren find that letter of yours in the attic, they'll have to take it to a specialist, an old guy at the library who would decipher the strange symbols for them," says Ms Florey, author of the newly-published Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting.
She argues that children – if not this generation then one soon to come – may grow up using only a crude form of printing for the rare occasions in life they need to communicate by pen.
The way handwriting is taught has undoubtedly changed. At Ms Florey's school in 1950s America, a nun beat time with a stick as the class copied letters from the blackboard. It was not a place for individuals. There was a right way to form letters and very many wrong ways.

Speaking of downloading things through Steam, if you purchased the Potato Sack bundle –remember, "13 hit indie games, 75% off"? – you can expect many of those to prompt you for an update. You see, Valve and those sneaky indie devs have been planting Portal 2 hints all over those games; today, things get a little more explicit.
Bit.Trip Beat (above) has a Portal 2-themed level, GLaDOS and all; Killing Floor (gallery below) has some Portal 2-themed environments; and The Ball has seven new "test chambers" featuring the "Edgeless Artifact Cube." Also updated: Wonderful End of the World, Cogs, Defense Grid, RUSH, AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, AudioSurf, Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Toki Tori. You'll find a video of Bit.Trip Beat in action after the break. Got a video of another updated game? Share it in the comments and we'll update this post.


text: I currently carry a XDM 9mm service in a IWB. I am slated to purchase the above model shortly. So I am looking options to diversify my carry options. A local company makes some nice stuff, specifically OWB holsters. He makes a paddle holster and a high ride. I have zero experience with the either holster type. I am going to have a belt made for myself. I typically see myself carrying in the summer attire. I've attached the link to the site of the company. They have nice videos. Any feedback would be great. I just don't have enough background myself.

Where Michigan Works!
Welcome. Please contact me if I can help you in any way.
-Mayor Virg Bernero
A new program for Lansing residents proactively addresses the issue of basement sewer backups and offers assistance to protect families from future backups. The Basement Backup Protection Program (B2P2) provides protection solutions for residential sewer backups. Through this program, eligible property owners who have experienced sewer backups can receive assistance.In 2013, the city launched a pilot program, benefiting about 40 homes at a maximum cost of $4,750 per home. Targeted homeowners will receive an invitation in the mail to participate. Those interested, but not invited during the pilot period, will be placed on a waiting list.The City of Lansing wants to make the program as easy as 1-2-3! To apply for the Basement Backup Prevention Program during the pilot period, homeowners during the pilot period can complete a simple form that accompanies the initial mailing, this form is also available here. You can call the B2P2 Help Line at (517) 853-7867 or email to email@example.com to begin the eligibility and enrollment process.
Depending on the home's configuration, several different approaches are available to protect the basement. Homeowners are encouraged to talk with a licensed plumber to determine the best approach for their home.
The B2P2 requires contracting with a licensed plumber who is qualified to pull plumbing permits. Depending upon the work required, a homeowner may need to hire multiple contractors to complete various parts of the project.
The City will reimburse property owners for eligible work in accordance with the following schedule:

In Minneapolis, KPMB to Revamp Orchestra Hall
Well before Herzog & de Meuron expanded the Walker Art Center and Jean Nouvel dreamed up a new Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis had been home to contemporary architecture.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
When Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer completed Orchestra Hall on the city's Nicollet Mall in 1974, for example, the daringly stripped-down design rejected the privilege associated with traditional symphony spaces. In 2013 the building will portray a new interpretation of Modernism when an expansion overseen by Toronto-based Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB) opens to the public. The Minnesota Orchestral Association announced its selection of KPMB in June, culminating a seven-month-long international search process.
Orchestra Hall is renowned for its 2,450-seat auditorium—a freestanding brick interior structure that features sound-reflecting cubes suspended from its ceiling and overall acoustics by Cyril Harris. "Unlike the performance hall, which has stood the test of time admirably, the public and support spaces are chronically in need of an overhaul," says KPMB partner-in-charge Marianne McKenna. Currently the Orchestra Hall lobby can hold only 800 people, for example.
In addition to refreshing the concert hall, KPMB will rewrap it, emphasizing bolstered lobby space. The expansion will connect to, but not encroach upon, Peavey Plaza, an adjacent sunken public space that was completed by M. Paul Friedberg in 1975. "The opportunity is to reconnect Orchestra Hall's social spaces to Peavey Plaza, and to the dynamic of the city," explains McKenna.
Bruce Kuwabara says the firm's recently completed Toronto works, such as the National Ballet School (2005), Gardiner Museum (2006), and Royal Conservatory of Music (2009), will inform the upcoming redesign. Currently KPMB is assessing the building's existing infrastructure, which includes the massive air-intake and exhaust vents that punctuate the glass-brick-and-steel exterior. McKenna says these signature elements may be incorporated in the redesign, or shifted.

Translate this page Motorcyclist severely injured in solo crash while traveling up to Palomar MountainSaturday, May 4th, 2013 Issue 18, Volume 17.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Ray Cheney said it happened about 1:30 p.m. "A solo motorcyclist was critically injured in an accident on South Grade Road Advertisement South Grade Road is a windy road with tight curves renowned for its scenic beauty on the way up to Palomar Mountain and its signature observatory. 10 comments
It's harder to crash going "up" hill, I wonder what happened to make him go down? "Solo" is not a good word when you need help. I hope it didn't take long for help to be called. Speedy recovery to you.
I was there he was actually going down the mountain. He locked up his rear and high sided into a rock. Not a pretty sight. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
The South Grade is indeed a beautiful stretch of road. I used to ride my bicycle from Fallbrook to Mother's Restaurant at the top of the mountain and back. It was very common to see bikers picking themselves off the ground and checking out the damage to their bikes. The tight turns on that road are perfect for pushing and testing the bike's limits at something short of insane speeds. It always struck me as odd that they would wave at each other as they passed but never once waved at me or other bicyclists. http://wtkr.com/2013/04/30/video-motorcyclist-hits-bicyclists-on-mulholland-highway/
I wonder if he was on a Harley or a rice burner? It has been my continuous observation that the individuals who ride the Suzukis, Yamahas (rice burner race bikes) are often reckless in their driving habits. We see (and hear) them speeding up and down the 76 every weekend - often passing vehicles on the double yellow line - taking the curves way too fast. A few months ago I was overtaken by two motorcyclists (while driving the speed limit between Pauma and Pala casinos) who cut around and zoomed past me even though there was oncoming traffic headed toward us. Both narrowly missed clipping my front end as they sped by. Just a matter of time before a horrific accident along the 76 occurs due to their foolish, macho behavior. While I hope this rider makes a fast and full recovery, I'm glad that no one else was injured.
"Rice burners" as you call them, are not the only ones who ride stupid. The harley riders are not model riders either, when they come up next to your window and rev their straight pipes - so F'ing annoying. We know you have a loud exhaust - get over yourself. Nice to know they can have a completely open/straight exhaust, but if a car/truck has a slightly loud exhaust, the cops are all over you.
"but if a car/truck has a slightly loud exhaust, the cops are all over you." #4, You obviously haven't been to Fallbrooks' "Open Header Night", or Escondidos' Cruisin Grand "Alcohol Dragster Night". It makes Harleys sound like 3 HP Briggs and Strattons. :>) "Ain't no replacement for displacement".
Completely agree!
This was accident was my closest friends son & yes tragically he did not survive the accident. Remarks about foolish behavior is completely out of line regardless of any reason the accident was caused. Lets only hope you never have to endure the pain of such a tragedy involving one of your loved ones.
@8 - sorry for your lost, however, remarks about foolish behavior are completely in line. Had he been practicing safe and sane behavior, he would be alive. Maybe some one will recognize this, change their behavior. Then his lost of life may have served a purpose.
Hello, Im the daughter. Here's a story: I remember when my dad had his radio on and I was just leaving for school and I heard what happened. I was kinda shocked for the first time. It scares me when people get into those accidents!

Here is a little solstice education, brought to you by Cravings Gourmet Popcorn:
The summer solstice occurs when the tilt of the earth's semi-axis, in either the northern or the southern hemisphere, is most inclined toward the sun that it orbits. This happens twice each year, at which times the sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the North or South Pole.
Technically the summer solstice is calculated as an instant in time, solstice is derived from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). Generally described the summer solstice, (commonly known as the first day of summer) occurs on the day that has the longest period of daylight – except in the polar regions, where daylight is continuous, from a few days to six months around the summer solstice. For those of us in the northern hemisphere summer solstice is usually some time between June 20 and June 22.
Celebrations of the Solstice have their roots in ancient tribal rituals, many coming from the European countries. Those celebrations have made their way across the ocean and through time, having little to do with the original celebrations rooted in rituals of fertility.
One of the most notable contemporary Solstice celebrations happens each year in Seattle, Washington where the annual Solstice Parade has been co-opted by Naked Painted Cyclists since 1995. A little tamer, and closer to home, Old Town Lansing, through the efforts of the Old Town Commercial Association, has been celebrating the dual festivals of the Moon and Sun since (year). These two festivals create a good reason to sample beer, wine, some great music and the company of good friends.
At Cravings we love events like the Festival of the Moon and Festival of the Sun because each year new people find their way to Old Town and discover just how fun it is to be here. We always earn some new regular customers during the festival season, and for that we are so grateful! So, when you get here face north on Turner Street, look for the giant popcorn box and come on in. We love that instant in time when you change from a stranger to a friend and customer.

Lincoln County's Integrated Vegetation Program:As part of the County Road Department, the Vegetation Program utilizes Integrated Pest Management tools for control of vegetation along county roads.
Lincoln County Road
Department diligently maintains the vegetation on the rights-of-way in this
beautiful part of Oregon. Regular maintenance is performed for driver safety,
visibility, road shoulder and ditch integrity, as well as noxious weed control. Our
approach integrates preventive, cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical
control measures.
Steps of
Integrated Vegetation Management Policy
INVASIVE WEEDS - STOP THE SPREAD! Prevention is the key! |
Before buying an unfamiliar plant from a nursery or taking a bulb or division from a friend, check on the plant's invasiveness (If in doubt, don't plant it) |
Watch out especially for Yellow Flag Iris, Crocosmia, Yellow Archangel, and a Variegated Knotweed - All have been sold recently in Lincoln County. |
Join volunteer programs -neighborhood weed clean-ups, ivy pull days or organize one yourself! |
Avoid spreading seeds by cleaning equipment and vehicles. |
Support biological control efforts on these plants when possible. |
Pull new weeds, taking as much of the rootstock as possible. |
Mow or cut to prevent seed set, repeat cuts will weaken plants. |
Avoid allowing weeds on your property to spread to a neighboring property. |
Identify and report invaders! Call 1-866-INVADER to report invasive species. |

California High-Speed Rail Project Moves Forward with Legal Settlement
April 19, 2013
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) on April 18 announced a legal settlement agreement that allows it to move forward with high-speed rail construction. The agreement brings to an end the final California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit challenging the Merced to Fresno project section Environmental Impact Report, and provides for the preservation of important farmland and mitigation of effects of high-speed rail construction on agricultural operations. It is estimated that developing the first segment of the Initial Operating Section of the system from Madera to Bakersfield will cost $6 billion.
By 2029, the system is expected to run trains from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations. The project is estimated to cost more than $51 billion, using a combination of federal support, state, and private funds. See the Authority press release .

Ok, I'm sure one or two of them are satisfied. Or more, who knows, but either way MobileTechNews is reporting that T-Mobile has hit the 25 million customer milestone. Credit for the large base is being given to the addition of the MyFaves service, the lowering of contract prices, and some kudos should go to the handsets, too. Congrats on the numbers, folks.
"T-Mobile USA is playing an increasingly vital role in bringing a service leadership culture to all of DT," said Rene Obermann, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Telekom. "At more than 25 million customers and growing, the U.S. business continues to assert its position as the leading growth driver for Deutsche Telekom."
In the fourth quarter of 2006 T-Mobile USA, Inc (T-Mobile USA) added 901,000 net new customers, up from 802,000 net new customers added in the third quarter of 2006 and down from 1.39 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Postpay customer net additions made up 87% of fourth quarter customer growth, up from 66% in the fourth quarter of 2005. Postpay customers comprised 85% of T-Mobile USA's total customer base at December 31, 2006.
The introduction of two-year contracts earlier in 2006 continued to prove popular with customers, with over three quarters of new postpay customers opting for two-year contract terms in the fourth quarter.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony." He was the first artist to have a formal exhibition there; it was held in 1906 in the old Palace of the Governors. He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century.
Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane. The sitting took place in a saloon, and while Rollins drew, Calamity drank, wept and poured out the story of her life to him. The portrait was lost in a fire at The Billings Club.
In the early 1900s, Rollins spent a year in Arizona painting the Hopi, Navajo and Zuni Indians; these studies became very popular. His constant search for new subject matter took him to Taos, where he had a studio near his friend Irving Couse; to Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico, sketching and painting its ancient ruins; and to the Grand Canyon where he had a studio near El Tovar. His dramatic Canyon painting was purchased by the Santa Fe Railroad.
Rollins was the first president of the Santa Fe Art Club, and active in the Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe, which has an extensive collection of his work, including "Grief," one of his most famous paintings. He did murals for the Museum, the post office and Harvey House in Gallup, and triptychs depicting Zuni life for Bishop's Lodge, Santa Fe. His "Mayflower Series," done in Crayo-tone, a medium he developed and used almost exclusively in later years, was widely exhibited on the East Coast. Warren E. Rollins continued painting well into his nineties and died at the age of one hundred years and five months in Winslow, Arizona.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born in Carson City, Nevada, Warren Rollins became known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe Art Colony" and was at the height of his career between 1908 and 1928. He was especially skilled at capturing the colors of the Southwest into his paintings.
He first went West as an itinerant sign painter. He trained at the San Francisco School of Design where he briefly served as Assistant Director. In 1887, he settled in San Diego, and during this period, he became interested in Indian subject matter. He and his wife and two daughters then traveled through every Western state from Mexico to Canada, and in Montana, he did a portrait of Calamity Jane. During the sitting, she drank and wept and told him her story, and this portrait, treasured because it was the only one ever done of her, was lost in a fire at the Billings Club.
By 1893, he was in Taos, then one of only four Anglo artists there, and he later returned where he had a studio near his close friend, E.I. Couse. In 1900, he spent a year in Arizona painting among the Hopi Indians and later the Navajo and Zuni tribes. The next year he began a commission for two historical paintings of the the Lewis and Clark Exposition. He painted the Grand Canyon so much that Santa Fe Railroad personnel built him a cabin on the rim at Paradise Point. Many of his paintings are in the Railroad collection.
He settled in Santa Fe and earned a prestigious reputation as a teacher of art at the Palace of the Governors. He served as first president of the Santa Fe Art Club. His works were among the earliest to be shown at the new Museum of New Mexico, and his work appeared in about twenty-five exhibitions in Santa Fe between 1916 and 1977. He also did murals for the Museum as well as the post office and Bishops Lodge. He died at the age of 100 in Winslow, Arizona.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born in Carson City, NV on Aug. 8, 1861, Warren Rollins was raised in Antioch, CA and showed artistic talent at an early age. About 1878, he moved to San Francisco where he studied under Virgil Williams at the School of Design for three years; he later served as assistant director of that school after winning several gold medals.
In 1890 he operated an art school in Tacoma, WA, and during 1892-1902, he lived in Portland, OR. Traveling constantly throughout the Southwest, he lived among the Hopi, Crow, and Blackfeet tribes and was one of the first painters to be admitted to their ceremonies.
In 1910 he moved to the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena and the following year built a studio in San Gabriel where he lived until his move to Santa Fe, NM in 1917. The Santa Fe Railroad built a studio for him on the rim of the Grand Canyon and he became known as "The Dean of Taos and Santa Fe Art Colonies."
As well as southwestern scenes, he also painted a few marines. During WWII he lived with his daughter in Baltimore. Rollins died in Winslow, AZ on Jan. 15, 1962.

Biography from
Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers, V
Early member of Santa Fe artists colony, painter of Indians, teacher
Warren E. Rollins was raised in California. He was the pupil of Virgil Williams at the San Francisco School of Design, becoming assistant director of the school. In 1887, after further study in the East, he moved to San Diego. He began to specialize in Indian subjects, traveling through the Western states. In 1900 he was in Arizona painting Hopi Canyon ruins in northern New Mexico and had a studio near El Tovar at the Grand Canyon.
Rollins was an early member of the Santa Fe art colony, along with Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, and Sheldon Parson, arriving in 1915 through his friendship with E.I. Couse. He had previously spent years at Pueblo Bonita, New Mexico.
Rollins had the first formal exhibition in Santa Fe, showing Indian paintings before 1910, so that he was properly regarded as the "dean of the Santa Fe art colony." Rollins had a period when he favored working in crayon, an oddity matched by other Western painters like Groll and Kihn. In the 1940s, Rollins moved to Baltimore where he drew crayon seascapes.

Warren Rollins was born and raised in California. He studied under Virgil Williams at the San Francisco School of Design, eventually becoming the Associate Director of the school. After studying in the East, Rollins moved to San Diego, where he began to paint Indian scenes, basing his work on his travels in the western states.
These Indian scenes became quite popular and, in 1917, the Santa Fe Railroad gave him a studio in El Tovar where he could paint the Grand Canyon. He traveled extensively in New Mexico, being amongst the first white artists in Santa Fe. His first painting show in Santa Fe were before 1910, and he moved there for the first time in 1915, encouraged to do so by his friend E.I. Couse.
He exhibited often in Santa Fe, having twenty-five exhibitions between 1916 and 1977. He was known as "The Dean of the Santa Fe Art Colony," and was commissioned for both commercial and consumer pieces, including a portrait of Calamity Jane that hung in the Billings Club until it was destroyed in a fire. He taught at the Palace of the Governors and served as the Santa Fe Art Club's first president. In the 1940s he spent time in Baltimore creating seascapes, predominantly in crayon. He died at the age of 100 in Winslow, AZ.

November 02, 2006 Blog Post: A Long List of Competitive Link Searches Rand this is another terrific article. It seems that you could burn through a lot of client hours just doing link building. At SEOMOZ do you limit your client link building efforts to a certain percentage of the overall campaign hours (say 15-20%)? November 03, 2006 1 0
August 29, 2006 Blog Post: Social Media Marketing, eh? Let's See What's in Our Bag o' Goodies. Good question Daniel. It appears to me that SMO/SMM is the overall strategy that you have and that viral/word-of-mouth are tactics that you would employ as part of that strategy August 31, 2006 1 0 One thing that makes SMO different from SEO is that all the focus is not on your main URL. For SEO we talk all about driving traffic and generating links to www.ourdomain.com. This URL is the focus of all out attention. But if you are reaching into the social networks, it is all about the address that you have there. For example there is a MySpace account for John Kerry (http://www.myspace.com/johnkerry).Unfortunately for the junior senator from Massachusetts, this is not an official Kerry for President site. Instead it is a spoof of his record. But for many 18-24 year olds who spend all their time on social networks like MySpace and not on the regular web, this Kerry MySpace site might well be the only contact they have the Kerry for President Campaign.

May 19, 2006 Blog Post: The Yahoo! vs. AdSense Rumor I disagree with 100lists. One of the biggest sources of spam is the scrapper sites which are full of Adsense ads. If Yahoo is reducing the amount of adsense sites in their index then they will by default be cleaning up their index and providing better results. Yes, I know that there are some high quality sites that have Adsense, and that would have to be addressed, but I believe that a substantial portion of the Adsense accounts are not high-quality. The other part to the story is that if Adsense heavy web sites are not getting indexed (and visited) as much then this will have a major impact on Google's bottom line. I thought this would be a tactic that MSN would use to attack Google, but it sounds like it is Yahoo who is firing the shot across Google's bow. May 19, 2006 1 0

About Ray Montford
Ray Montford is one of those rare guitarists who, like Jeff Beck and David Gilmour, does not consider virtuosity as a means in itself, and who knows how to make his instrument sing, creating wild and simple beauty while wringing emotion from every note. Ray recently released his sixth studio album, Vintage Is Now, an evocative collection of tunes engaging and inviting the listener into a visceral and melodic odyssey. Vintage is deeply rooted in the guitarist's distinctive compositional sound and celebrates his early rock/blues influences while creating a journey of depth and character. Born in Ottawa, Ray began learning by ear and woodshedding with the great rock records of that era. After studying audio engineering, production, and performance in the Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College and doing a term in the music program at Humber, he did session work, started writing his own compositions and opened up his own studio. Montford's moving instrumentals have been heard on National CBC radio and have been licensed for various television shows. In the past, Ray and his trio have played the Oakville Jazz Fest, Markham Jazz Fest, the Canadian Guitar Fest, and in 2010, a Canadian Western Tour – turning heads with their haunting and powerful sound. In addition they've also played self-produced theatre shows, listening rooms, special events, as well as unique intimate concerts in his loft studio. From 1994-'97, Montford was the guitar player with The Rankins and from 1997-'99, with Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond.
The Vintage Is Now Album
There is something to be said about someone having the courage to release an instrumental album in 2012, and looking to make a dent in the pop-drenched landscape of the music world. Ray Montford, the virtuoso guitarist and Canada's own aficionado of the 6 string, has done just that and done it with great style, grace, and conviction. His 11 track and sixth studio album – Vintage Is Now - is as beautiful a collection of guitar lead compositions as it is raw and uninhibited. Picture a journey on a magic carpet ride over a turbulent and roaring sea while laying on pillows of silk and down, flying through the white capped waves. Opium dreams you say? Well Montford knows exactly how to evoke these grandiose visions with his flawless playing and keep you in a state of unencumbered sensory bliss the whole way through. Could Ray Montford be Canada's own Jeff Beck? With this gift of an album where so many emotions are touched on throughout, one has to think he may just be carving out his own path as a guitarist and letting his playing do the talking. Perhaps no one could ever fill the shoes of the guitar gods of the past but it doesn't seem that Ray has set out to achieve this shadow goal. His playing is unique, honest, and still enthusiastic which is rare these days as instrumentals go. His love for the guitar shines through the music which in essence keeps you, as the listener, so connected to his playing. Ray's songs become the canvas of ones imagination and boldly paint a vision where voice and lyrics have no place over the roar of one man and his guitar.

Although I decided not to continue watching Gifuu Doudou Anime, but I find this instrument is very interesting. Maeda Keiji playing this instrument when Naoe coming to meet him for the first time.
It originally came from China. A Biwa is a lute with a short neck and is held vertically while you play it. The strings on a Biwa range from three to five. Instruments that are played with the Biwa are known as Biwagaku. This particular instrument was used for traditional story telling. As good as it sounds when played mixed with other instruments, it is also used for solos. More info on Biwa – can be read at wikipedia or ottomen.

October Term 2012 - June 24, 2013
June 24, 2013
Today the Supreme Court granted certiorari in six cases of interest to the business community:
Constitutionality of Recess Appointments
The Recess Appointments Clause of the Constitution gives "[t]he President . . . Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of [Congress's] next Session." Art. II, § 2, Cl. 3. Today, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, No. 12-1281, to decide: (1) whether the President's recess-appointment power may be exercised during a recess that occurs within a Senate session, or is instead limited to recesses that occur between enumerated sessions of the Senate; (2) whether the President's recess-appointment power may be exercised to fill any vacancies that exist during a recess, or is instead limited to vacancies that first arose during that recess; and (3) whether the President's recess-appointment power may be exercised when the Senate is convening every three days in pro forma sessions.
On January 4, 2012, President Obama invoked the Recess Appointments Clause and appointed three individuals to fill vacant seats on the National Labor Relations Board. This date fell after the Second Session of the 112th Congress began, during an intra-session adjournment in which the Senate convened every three days for short sessions without conducting any substantive business. All three NLRB vacancies had arisen before the conclusion of the First Session of the 112th Congress.
Shortly after these recess appointments, a three-member panel of the NLRB affirmed a decision by an administrative-law judge holding that Respondent Noel Canning had committed an unfair labor practice. Noel Canning filed a petition for review of the NLRB order in the D.C. Circuit. In addition to contesting the order on the merits, Noel Canning contended that the President's appointments were invalid because the Senate was not in recess within the meaning of the Recess Appointments Clause when the NLRB appointments were made. Noel Canning claimed that the NLRB's order was invalid because the Board lacked the three-member quorum necessary to issue decisions.
The D.C. Circuit granted Noel Canning's petition and vacated the NLRB's order. The court of appeals held that the constitutional authority to fill a vacancy can be used only between enumerated sessions of the Senate, and not during any other mid-session breaks. This part of the ruling was unanimous. A two-judge majority further ruled that the vacancy-filling power applies only to vacancies that open up during a formal recess between enumerated sessions, and not to any vacancies that exist during a recess. More recently, the Third Circuit reached the same conclusion.
Although the D.C. Circuit did not rule on the question whether the Senate's pro forma sessions prevented a break from qualifying as a "recess" for purposes of the Recess Appointments Clause, Noel Canning asked the Supreme Court to grant certiorari on this question in addition to those raised in the NLRB's petition for certiorari. The Supreme Court's order directed the parties to brief and argue this question in addition to the two questions presented by the government's petition.
This case is of great public importance, as demonstrated by the fact that all the parties to the case—and all the amici curiae—agreed that the Court should grant review. The D.C. Circuit's decision called into question not only every final decision by the NLRB since January 4, 2012, but also prior decisions by the NLRB with recess-appointed members, as well as decisions by other federal agencies—notably the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, whose Director was given a recess appointment by the President at the same time and under the same circumstances as the NLRB members. In addition to its implications for a wide array of prior decisions, the case has significant forward-looking implications for the President's ability to fill vacancies using the recess-appointment power. (Mayer Brown's decision alert discussing the implications of the D.C. Circuit's ruling is available here.)
Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioner will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about the case should be directed to Andrew J. Pincus (+1 202 263 3220) in our Washington office.
Labor-Management Relations Act—Effect of Anti-Bribery Statute on Voluntary-Recognition Agreements
Section 302 of the Labor-Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 186(a)(2), makes it criminal for an employer "to pay, lend, or deliver, any money or other thing of value" to a labor union that seeks to represent its employees or to any officer or employee of such a union; the Act also prohibits the labor union from receiving the same.
Today, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Unite Here Local 355 v. Mullhall, No. 12-99, to determine whether (and under what circumstances) the "access" and "neutrality" provisions in a voluntary-recognition agreement between an employer and a union may constitute a "thing of value" that can give rise to liability under Section 302.
The petitioner, United Here Local 355, is a labor union that sought to represent the employees of a gaming company. The union and the employer entered into a "card-check agreement," in which the employer agreed to recognize the union as the collective-bargaining representative of its employees if the majority of the employees signed cards supporting the union. The employer further agreed to provide the union with access to the employer's premises and with lists of employee names and addresses and to remain neutral during the union's organizing campaign. In return, the union agreed not to strike, picket, or engage in "other economic activity" at the employer's facilities.
An employee filed suit in federal court under Section 302, seeking to prevent enforcement of the agreement. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim, holding that "the assistance promised in the [agreement] does not constitute a thing of value" for purposes of Section 302. In reaching this conclusion, the court relied on decisions by the Third and Fourth Circuits, which had both held that compliance with access and neutrality provisions in a voluntary-recognition agreement is not a "thing of value" under Section 302.
The Eleventh Circuit reversed. It agreed with the Third and Fourth Circuits that "[e]mployers and unions may set ground rules for an organizing campaign, even if the employer and union benefit from the agreement." But the Eleventh Circuit stated that it would be "too broad" to hold "that all neutrality and cooperation agreements are exempt" from Section 302, explaining that "innocuous ground rules can become illegal payments if used as valuable consideration in a scheme to corrupt a union or to extort a benefit from an employer." The Eleventh Circuit remanded the case for the district court to consider "the reason why" the union and employer had entered into the agreement.
The Supreme Court granted certiorari today to resolve the split between the Third and Fourth Circuits and the Eleventh Circuit, and to decide the effect of Section 302 on card-check, access, and neutrality agreements. The Court's decision will be important to all employee-representative organizations, all employers with unionized workforces, and any parties considering entering into a voluntary-recognition agreement.
Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioner will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about the case should be directed to Andrew S. Rosenman (+1 312 701 8744) in our Chicago office.
Shareholder-Derivative Actions—Pre-Suit Demands for Corrective Action
Today, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in UBS Financial Services Inc. of Puerto Rico, et al. v. Union de Empleados de Muelles de Puerto Rico PRSSA Welfare Plan, No. 12-1208, to resolve a circuit split over the standard of appellate review that applies to a district court's dismissal of a shareholder-derivative action for failure to adequately plead that a pre-suit demand on the corporation's board of directors was futile.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 requires plaintiffs in shareholder-derivative actions to state with particularity in the complaint either that a demand to take corrective action was made but the corporation declined to protect its own interests, or that such a demand would have been futile.
In UBS, the district court dismissed a shareholder-derivative suit on the ground that the plaintiffs had not fulfilled either pleading requirement. The First Circuit vacated that dismissal, applying a de novo standard of review. The court reasoned that rulings concerning the legal sufficiency of pleadings are generally reviewed de novo, and found no justification for treating the pleadings in a shareholder-derivative action any differently. Other courts of appeals apply a more deferential abuse-of-discretion standard of review because demand futility is an individualized, fact-based judgment that turns on the specific allegations in each case.
The Supreme Court's decision in this case will be of great interest to the business community because the pre-suit demand gives the corporation advance notice of an impending shareholder-derivative suit and gives the corporate directors the opportunity to determine, in the first instance, what action the corporation should take with respect to the claims. In addition, the Court may elaborate further on the standards for appellate review of actions dismissed at the pleading stage.
Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioner will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about the case should be directed to Joseph De Simone (+1 212 506 2559) in our New York office or Joshua D. Yount (+1 312 701 8423) in our Chicago office.
Bankruptcy—Powers of Bankruptcy Courts
In Stern v. Marshall, 131 S. Ct. 2594 (2011), the Supreme Court held that Congress could not bestow on bankruptcy courts—which Congress creates under authority from Article I of the Constitution—the power to make final decisions on issues traditionally within the purview of Article III courts. In a follow-up to Stern, the Court granted certiorari today in Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison, No, 12-1200, to determine whether the parties themselves may bestow such power on a bankruptcy court by consent, whether consent can be implied, and whether a bankruptcy court may submit to a district court proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in a "core" bankruptcy proceeding.
Because the Court's ultimate decision will clarify the powers of bankruptcy courts, it should be of interest to all businesses and individuals who are or may be involved in a bankruptcy proceeding.
In 2006, Respondent Peter H. Arkison, the trustee for Chapter 7 debtor Bellingham Insurance Agency, Inc., brought claims as part of the bankruptcy proceeding against Petitioner Executive Benefits Insurance Agency. Arkison claimed, among other things, that EBIA received fraudulent conveyances from Bellingham. The bankruptcy court granted summary judgment in favor of Arkison, and the district court affirmed. After EBIA had filed its opening brief on appeal to the Ninth Circuit, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Stern.
The Ninth Circuit then affirmed in EBIA. The court of appeals held that, although Stern applied to fraudulent-conveyance claims, the bankruptcy court nonetheless had the power to decide the claim because EBIA, through its litigation conduct (e.g., itsfailure to object to Arkison's summary-judgment motion or to raise the issue in its opening brief) had impliedly consented to adjudication of the claim by the bankruptcy court. In so holding, the court of appeals concluded that the exercise of adjudicatory power by a bankruptcy court in such circumstances did not implicate separation-of-powers concerns because it did not involve "the encroachment or aggrandizement of one branch at the expense of the other."
The Ninth Circuit further held that in "core" proceedings subject to Stern, a bankruptcy court may submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to a district court in lieu of a final decision, even though the statute authorizing bankruptcy courts to issue proposed findings and conclusions—28 U.S.C. § 157(c)(1)—applies solely to non-core proceedings. In so holding, the court of appeals reasoned that even after Stern, Congress's intent to grant bankruptcy courts adjudicatory power coextensive with constitutional limitations remained. Thus, the court of appeals concluded, the power granted bankruptcy courts by 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) to "hear and determine cases" in core proceedings, although no longer including the power to issue final decisions, encompassed the lesser power to propose findings of fact and conclusions of law.
The petition identifies a conflicting Sixth Circuit decision on the consent issue, and a conflicting Seventh Circuit decision on the proposed-findings-and-conclusions issue. See Waldman v. Stone, 698 F.3d 910 (6th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 1604 (2013); Ortiz v. Aurora Health Care (In re Ortiz), 665 F.3d 906, 915 (2011).
Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioner will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about the case should be directed to Joshua D. Yount (+1 312 701 8423) in our Chicago office.
Clean Air Act—Validity of Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
Air pollution originating in one State can affect air quality in downwind States. The Clean Air Act addresses these cross-border externalities by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards ("NAAQS"). 42 U.S.C. §§ 7408, 7409. Pursuant to that responsibility, EPA promulgated the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (commonly known as the Transport Rule), which defines emissions-reduction responsibilities for 28 upwind States based on those States' contributions to downwind States' air-quality problems. See 76 Fed. Reg. 48,208 (Aug. 8, 2011). The Clean Air Act also requires States to adopt state implementation plans that regulate air-pollutant emissions both in order to meet EPA's air-quality standards within their own borders, and in order not to "contribute significantly" to downwind States' efforts to attain or maintain compliance with those standards. See 42 U.S.C. § 7410(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). Separately, the Clean Air Act requires a plaintiff who wishes to challenge EPA action under the Act to file a petition for review within 60 days after the EPA's action is published in the Federal Register. 42 U.S.C. § 7607(b). Today, in EPA v. EME Homer City Generation, L.P., No. 12-1182, and American Lung Association v. EME Homer City Generation, L.P., No. 12-1183, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to address the validity of the Transport Rule and the court of appeals' original jurisdiction to hear the challenge in the first place.
Because the rule implementing the Clean Air Act may require some emissions sources to adopt pollution-control measures within certain cost limits, the decision in these consolidated cases could have significant implications for power generators' obligations. And because a holding on the jurisdictional question is likely to define broadly when and under what circumstances regulatory challenges may be brought under the Clean Air Act, the decision will be important to all regulated entities.
The EPA has adopted a series of rules over the years to address the Clean Air Act's requirements that States address the cross-border "transport" of air pollution. In promulgating the Transport Rule, the agency used a two-step methodology for determining States' obligations not to contribute significantly to downwind States' NAAQS compliance efforts: First, the EPA identified those upwind States that affected downwind States' NAAQS compliance efforts in certain defined ways; and second, the EPA determined how much emissions could be reduced if sources such as power generators were required to implement pollution controls that were cheaper than a certain cost per ton of pollution reduced. The agency then weighed these models to determine what cost-per-ton threshold was most effective in reducing upwind emissions or downwind pollution, and set the States' obligations accordingly.
A coalition of power generators, coal companies, labor unions, industry groups, and state and local governments subsequently petitioned for review of the Transport Rule, raising arguments that, if accepted, would (in EPA's view) undermine the validity of a series of prior NAAQS rules that had been treated as valid for years. The D.C. Circuit invalidated the Transport Rule for two independent reasons. First, the court concluded that the rule exceeded the authority that the Clean Air Act gave to the EPA. Second, the court held that the rule failed because at the time when the EPA defined the States' obligations, it did not give the States a reasonable period to implement those obligations in the first instance. Instead, it simultaneously issued federal plans for implementation under a provision that allows the agency to fill the gap when a State's own implementation plan is deficient.
In its petition for certiorari in No. 11-1182, the EPA argued that the court of appeals should not have considered either argument because (a) the coalition challenging the rule had not preserved the statutory argument in administrative proceedings; and also (b) the arguments were, in substance, a request for out-of-time collateral invalidations of separate orders not before the court. On the merits, the EPA argued that the court of appeals should have deferred to the agency's reasonable interpretation of the ambiguous term "significant." In a parallel petition for certiorari in No. 11-1183, the American Lung Association and other intervenors supporting the agency before the court of appeals urged the Supreme Court to uphold the rule on similar grounds. The Court granted certiorari limited to the questions presented in the EPA's petition. Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioners will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondent will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about this case should be directed to Timothy S. Bishop (+1 312 701 7829) in our Chicago office.
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act—Jurisdiction
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act grants United States district courts jurisdiction over "any cause of action initiated by a State or Indian tribe to enjoin a class III gaming activity located on Indian lands and conduced in violation of any Tribal-State compact entered into under" the Act. 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(7)(A)(ii). Today, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Michigan v. Bay Mills Indian Community, No. 12-515, to decide two questions: (1) whether a federal court has jurisdiction to enjoin activity that otherwise violates the IGRA but takes place outside of Indian lands; and (2) whether the IGRA abrogates an Indian tribe's sovereign immunity with respect to a State's claim that the tribe is gaming illegally, where the State alleges that the gaming is not located on Indian lands.
The dispute in Bay Mills centers on a casino opened in Vanderbilt, Michigan, approximately 100 miles away from the Bay Mills Indian Community's reservation. Michigan alleged that the casino is operating illegally and is outside Indian lands, raising claims under the IGRA, federal common law, and state law.
The Sixth Circuit held that there was no jurisdiction for claims under the IGRA. The IGRA defines Indian lands as "(A) all lands within the limits of any Indian reservation; and (B) any lands title to which is either held in trust by the United States . . . or held by any Indian tribe or individual subject to restriction by the United States against alienation and over which an Indian tribe exercises power." 25 U.S.C. § 2703(4). The Sixth Circuit held that because the Vanderbilt casino is on neither the Bay Mills reservation nor land held in trust or otherwise subject to restriction by the United States against alienation, it is not on Indian lands for purposes of the IGRA. As a consequence, the Sixth Circuit concluded that Michigan's suit did not meet the IGRA's jurisdictional prerequisite that the gaming activity to be enjoined be "located on Indian lands."
The Sixth Circuit also rejected Michigan's federal common-law and state-law claims, holding that tribal sovereign immunity barred suit on those claims. In so doing, the Sixth Circuit held that § 2710, which abrogates tribal sovereign immunity with respect to gaming on Indian lands, does not abrogate tribal sovereign immunity with respect to gaming outside of Indian lands. This ruling and a similar one by the Eleventh Circuit conflict with decisions of the Seventh and Tenth Circuits about the extent to which § 2710 abrogates tribal sovereign immunity.
The Court's decision could have a significant impact on tribal gaming businesses subject to the IGRA. This case will determine the extent to which states can enforce their gaming laws against tribal businesses operating on non-Indian lands.
Absent extensions, which are likely, amicus briefs in support of the petitioners will be due on August 15, 2013, and amicus briefs in support of the respondents will be due on September 16, 2013. Any questions about this case should be directed to Stephen J. Kane (+1 312 701 8857) in our Chicago office.
Today, the Supreme Court also invited the Solicitor General to file briefs expressing the views of the United States in two related cases of interest to the business community:
Limelight Networks, Inc. v. Akamai Technologies, Inc., No. 12-786, and Akamai Technologies, Inc. v. Limelight Networks, Inc., No. 12-960: The questions presented are (in No. 12-786) whether the Federal Circuit erred in holding that a defendant may be held liable for inducing patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) even though no one has committed direct infringement under § 271(a), and (in No. 12-960) whether a party may be liable for infringement under either of those statutory provisions where two or more entities join together to perform all the steps of a process claim.

Hi - I bet you can't wait for the 1st March! I've had my Zetec for 5 months and I love it

Hi and welcome, you'll love the Zetec S... brilliant car!
February 21, 2011, 1:39 pm
Hi, same boat as you Hilary with regards new car.
Feeling a bit sore just now as the ECU on my C Max went kaput a few weeks back and it was too costly to fix (at least £1100), especially considering there is no doubt an underlying fault that also needs fixed. Anyway, the dealer agreed to give me a trade-in value so I have ordered a new Fiesta Zetec.
Ford ain't high on my list of faves just now but on this occasion I've no choice but to go with them again or face possible endless bills getting the C Max fixed. Here's hoping this wee car will restore my faith. Looking forward to 1st March to be independently mobile again.
