Gay Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg and Clearwater
The Tampa Bay area is Florida's largest metro area with Tampa itself, St.Petersburg and the nearby gulf beach towns. Tampa itself has a thriving nightlife scene in the old town area "Ybor City", but alas, the gay scene is more spread out. You'll find gay bars throughout Tampa and St. Petersburg. Tampa is also an...

ARDC gave to The Honey PotHORRIBLE!!Over priced admission. Different cost every night. Terrible drag shows. No access to second floor. Small space. The only plus was bartender was friendly and handsome. Do yourself a favor and don't come here!! There are so many better options!! And this is the worst app too (gaycities). They didn't even allow me to give it one star!!

BBwannabe gave to Liquid LoungeNot Exactly What I'd Call High-EndLiquid is a bar/club in Ybor City, about the size of an average house. As you enter, Liquid has a three-sided bar on the left with a small seating area with tables on the right. In the back there is a small dance floor and stage used for go-go boys and female impersonators, and a bar along one wall, and a long settee along the opposite wall. Stairs just before the settee lead to a VIP bar upstairs with seating around some tables. (The only thing the VIP area has going for it is the commanding view of the dance floor and stage.) When I was there on 2/21/15 there was a mixed crowd and I paid $5 for a rum and coke. Liquid has a cool LED light show, and had just about the beefiest shot boy I've ever seen, but too many twink dancer guys for my taste. I'm unsure if this place is really a gay bar or just trying to be trendy with the younger set. I'm not sure if I would go back or not.
Chic Club with Great Go-Go GuysG-Bar is really a big club with three bars (two on either side of an exposed brick wall with arches), a small dance floor and 14 video screens. Several VIP booths are on the right (looking in from the street.) Big balls (disco) and small red-lamped chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and a settee is up front so you can rest your tired feet while scoping out the patrons. Also of note are the thick pillars covered with zebra print fabric. When I was there in the wee hours of 2/22/15, there was a mixed crowd and I paid $5 for a rum and coke. The go-go boys were hot, beefy or chiseled types and were polite and friendly. I would definitely go back.

Actually, I love this character. She is in some a way the personification of virtue in a world that is reduced to pure vice, and I like the symbolism behind it. Having a girl which reminds to the adults what attitude they should have towards innocence instead of being purely passive towards pure horror is kinda ironic and made me think of a christic figure. The episode 45 is probably the best example of this. It could seem like some cliché character, but - and I was the first impressed of that - it works perfectly where many other animes fail to having characters who incarnate really innocence and virtue without reducing this symbolism to childrens without any courage who cry everytime.
In short, if Kenshiro (and Rei of course) incarnates justice, Lin incarnates definititly the virtue which is precisely the purpose of justice. Without her, I think Hokuto no Ken would be only a generic nekketsu like another but her presence upgrades all the story to another level in term of depth. So yes, a little girl can be badass but in a different way than we generally think when talking of the charism of a character.
Lin > 90 % of humanity in term of spiritual strength towards horror and oppression and that's precisely what makes all her valor.

MICHAEL BUBLÃâS BREAKOUT CRAZY LOVE TOUR RELIES ON DPA MICROPHONES
Multiplatinum Grammy-Nominated Artist Uses the DPA 3521 and DPA 4099 Microphones for All Live Performances
BURBANK, CA â DPA Microphonesâ 4099 Live Instrument microphones and 3521 Cardioid Compact Stereo Kit provide the kind of discreet and lightweight micing that is perfect for any size live acoustic music ensemble on Michael Bubléâs Crazy Love tour. Craig Doubet, Bubléâs FOH mixer, chose DPA because of the complete transparency of the mics. He was also looking to reduce the amount of gain before feedback in the piano and the bleeding of other instruments into the mic while still allowing for easy and repeatable placement. The 3521 stereo kit in particular, has been integral to Bubléâs live sound, since the piano is a large part of the show. more

Need fast growing trees
I need a couple of fast growing trees. We just bought a house with NO trees in the yard. We're in our 60's and don't have many years left to wait for a pretty pecan or oak tree to sit under. lol
We like shade trees. Thought of weeping willows but not much shade for quite a few years. I went to the nursery and he recommened Drake Elm. I bought 2 of them for the front yard at $44 a piece. Kinda pricy!! Now I need a couple of different ones for the side of the house. Back yard has wild willows along a tree line so I think it'll be ok.
Thanks for your time and have a nice day.
I had a beautiful drake elm in st. bernard killed by katrina. but it did grow pretty fast, and while it wasn't huge, in a couple years did make a striking presence and beautiful weeping form.
I like crape myrtles, they grow pretty fast. Let's see, I had a cassia which is a good butterfly small tree but grew fast and really pretty yellow flowers. I had a lemon tree that grew pretty fast, not really for shade though. Chinese tallow which I really like but they say is invasive and now they discourage its use. I think river birch grows pretty fast. If you go to the LSU Ag Center site, you can find it easy with a search on internet, they will have all the trees for LA and whether they are fast, slow, tall, etc.
You are so right about the Drake elm. They are awesome trees. I purchased a very large tree and planted it only to have it blown down by a hurricane one year later. The Hurricane pulled up the support ropes and sakes that I had used to secure it. It was blown down flat on the ground uprooting most of the roots. I pulled it out of the ground with my tractor and the next year it sprouted again from the few existing roots. Today it is about 15 feet tall and doing well.
I posted this, but then had to re-activate my GardenWeb account, so forgive me if this posts twice. How long after the hurricane did it take for your Drake to get 15 feet tall? The reason I am asking is that I just (ie: 15 minutes ago) got what I THINK is a great deal: 3, 5-gallon, 7-ft tall Drakes from Lowes...for $8.50 apiece! They look very healthy and the Drakes are on my "list" of trees that would fit my space and conditions. I was intending to buy some 7- or 15-gallon trees; however, in order to not have them be so puny in the landscape. But, these all three are the same height, all have a nice crown and all are branched similarly. It was almost too good to be true. (And, if it is, oh well...I only paid $25+ for the lot of them!) Anyway, I know they are reputed to be fast-growers, but I am wondering just HOW fast?
It was hurricane Lilly that fell the drake elm along with several of my other trees. Lilly came through in the fall of 2002 so that would be almost exactly 5 years ago
The original tree was a gift and it was approximately 10 feet tall with a burlap root ball of about 2 foot diameter.
I removed the tree shortly after the passage of Lilly and it was the next summer before we saw any sprouts. It sprouted slowly for the first few months and really got going about a year later. Your small tree is actual farther along then the root that my tree sprouted from. You will like this tree because it is almost evergreen.
I also have a couple of lace bark elm trees that are really beautiful but grow slowly.
Good luck
Thanks for the info. Yep, that's pretty dang fast. Well, that's what I want, so I'm pleased. Although, I had someone on another forum (I didn't realize I'd posted this question in the LA/MS forum and I'm in GA), and was told that this tree is considered invasive. This confuses me, because when I go to sites such as UGA Co-op, this is a recommended tree. I guess maybe every plant is considered invasive in one place or another? I hope I am doing the right thing, but I need shade for my St. Augustine grass (I'm from MS and my husband is from LA, so we love the St. Augustine!) and it is supposedly drought tolerant, and I am attempting to be responsible.

I figured I would give this a try, what is the worst that could happen, right? I want to meet someone more genuine and interesting than the guys I meet in a bar. It would be nice to have someone with similar values and motivations as well, but I'm open to anyone I feel is a good match! It's hard to describe the right person...when you know, you know! I work as an Athletic Compliance officer at a local college. I have always worked in sports and love going to college and professional sporting events. I'm a pretty big nerd though and am now getting my MBA. In my free time I like going out to dinner and drinks but I'm also a homebody. Sometimes lazy days BBQing with friends and just hanging out can be more fun than going out to a club. I describe myself as half high maintenance and half down to earth....doesn't make much sense so I guess you'll just have to get to know me!

Kind of embarrassing but I'm a reality show addict! I like country and rock music which is kind of a random combo! My favorite food is mexican but I'm a really picky eater when it comes to anything else!
I'm really into sports, both participating and watching! I enjoy being outdoors and lately I've been trying to improve my golf game. I enjoy trying out new restaurants or bars but sometimes staying home with a glass of wine can be just as good!
I usually read sports related novels or crime thrillers. A lot of time, I'll read the book before I see the movie (the book is always better).

While the price tag of higher education has escalated in the last 30 years, its impact on earnings has also gained significance. Furthermore, with tuition inflating even faster than healthcare costs, family incomes cannot keep up. Higher education therefore becomes unaffordable for many students. This report examines how forward-thinking universities are leveraging and implementing the use of eSignature technologies to run more efficiently, eliminate excessive expenses and improve the overall value provided to students.
Universities have the potential to run efficiently and eliminate excessive expenses when departments work together to streamline cumbersome workflows. Leveraging eSignature technologies for unwieldy approval processes cuts costs, saves time and reduces risk. Reductions in cost, time and risk increase the university's value proposition for students.
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) wanted to expedite approvals of financial documents like travel authorizations and expense reimbursements.
Read this Case Study to learn how RCCC accomplished that and a lot more with DocuSign: big improvements in staff efficiency and document accuracy, cost savings, and — critically important to a Finance department — better security and compliance.

Yes it's an odd combination but Ashiana does both well. Very well.
On Sundays they do a special meal that costs about USD 5. Unlimited Gujrati thali. Very well cooked and tastes delicious.
Gujrati food is served through the week as well.
Additionally they do Indian snacks like chaats and dosas. While I have not eaten them personally, those who have from my family rave about it as well.
And finally pizzas. They do a mean set of vegetarian pizzas with varied toppings. Different but tasty nevertheless.
The staff are extremely courteous and the owner, or his family, is always present and greet you with a warm smile.
The restaurant also has a small selection of Indian fried snacks.
All in all a small good place for Indian food.

What's That Charge on My Mobile Phone Bill? The FTC Wants to Know
"Cramming" – while it sounds like the experience of being in the middle row of a cross-country flight – actually refers to unauthorized charges on phone bills. Residential and business telecommunications customers have experienced cramming on their wireline bills for years, particularly for premium and other pay-per-call services. And the FTC has brought nearly two dozen cases against those companies.
With so many U.S. consumers using mobile phones (and many replacing their wireline phones and relying on wireless service exclusively), cramming has migrated to mobile phone bills. We have previously discussed the FTC's ongoing review of mobile payments and the agency's continuing concerns with cramming practices.
Last week, the FTC filed its first legal action to shut down a mobile cramming operation. In federal court in Georgia, the FTC alleges that since 2011, Wise Media, LLC, its CEO Brian Buckley, and its owner Winston Deloney have made millions of dollars by placing unauthorized charges for premium text messages services offering "horoscopes, flirting, love tips and other information" on consumers' mobile phone bills. The FTC's complaint also names Concrete Marketing Research, LLC, a company owned by Deloney, as having received funds earned through the allegedly unfair and deceptive practices.
According to the FTC, consumers did not "opt in" to receive these text message services, for which Wise Media charged $9.99 per month. The charges appeared on the bills and were repeated each month. Many consumers did not notice the charges and simply paid them. Some consumers noticed the charges but had great difficulty finding a contact for Wise Media, according to the complaint. Other consumers contacted the company, indicating they had not authorized the charges, but were still charged. Still others allegedly were told they would receive refunds, but Wise Media never issued those refunds. Instead, the underlying mobile phone carriers often ended up refunding money to complaining customers. The FTC noted that mobile phone carriers had experienced a high rate of complaints on Wise Media charges. One unnamed major phone carrier had even terminated Wise Media based on its excessive rates.
The FTC's complaint charges that Wise Media and the other defendants violated Section 5 of the FTC Act by representing that consumers were obligated to pay for premium text services they never ordered. According to the FTC, these representations were false or misleading statements, constituting deceptive acts or practices under Section 5. Further, the complaint states that the placing of charges on consumers' mobile phone bills without consumers' "express informed consent" constituted unfair acts and practices also prohibited by Section 5.
The agency is seeking substantial relief and penalties from Wise Media and the other defendants. The FTC's requested relief includes a request for a temporary and preliminary injunction to prevent future violations of the FTC Act by defendants, an asset freeze, and the refund of monies paid and "the disgorgement of ill-gotten monies." In fact, after the filing of the complaint, Wise Media and the other defendants entered into a stipulation with the FTC agreeing to a temporary restraining order, an asset freeze, and other relief. The court also ordered that a receiver be appointed to oversee Wise Media's assets and is requiring financial disclosures by the defendants.
This action signals that the FTC is continuing to monitor closely the mobile payment marketplace and that it will use its broad Section 5 authority to curb alleged deceptive practices in this medium. In fact, on May 8, the FTC staff will host a roundtable discussion on preventing mobile cramming, which will feature consumer advocates, industry leaders, and government regulators. It will be interesting to see what actions the major mobile carriers may propose, as the carriers have been on the receiving end of many of the consumer complaints (and refunds) resulting from third-party charges.

Online Fraud and Abuse
A Q&A With Jeff Ifrah on the FTC's Latest Draconian Tactics
Some lawyers who deal regularly with the Federal Trade Commission in investigations of allegedly false and deceptive online advertising have noticed that the agency is beginning to take steps in these investigations that are unprecedented and draconian – and that judges seem to be going along. Below is a set of questions and answers with Jeff Ifrah, founding partner of Ifrah Law, on these new enforcement methods.
1. What is the first thing that a lawyer representing a company being probed by the FTC on false-advertising charges can expect to see?
IFRAH: Agency lawyers will go to a federal district judge with a copy of a temporary restraining order (TRO) for the judge to sign on an ex parte basis (without the defendant or its lawyers being present). Judges are allowed to do this as long as a hearing is set in a few days for a preliminary injunction, at which the defendant is represented. Meanwhile, the company is essentially barred from doing business by the terms of the TRO.
2. What is the FTC's usual next step?
IFRAH: The agency will then go before the same judge with a draft of a preliminary injunction that is pretty much identical to the temporary restraining order. These injunctions basically require the business to continue to remain at a standstill until a trial is held and a settlement is reached. In addition, they require the company to disclose on all its web sites that it is being investigated for false and deceptive practices and to disclose online all of its sensitive financial information and that of its owners. Very often, the defendant will not contest this injunction request by the FTC. It is remarkable how many lawyers simply capitulate and agree to these draconian orders and set their clients up to fail.
3. What's wrong with that? Isn't the injunction lifted when the defendant agrees to settle the case?
IFRAH: Yes, but by that time, it may be too late, and the company may have gone out of business as a result of the restrictions that were imposed on it by the injunction and as a result of the disclosures that it had to make.
4. Are there other problems with these preliminary injunctions?
IFRAH: Yes. The FTC usually asks for a preliminary injunction with many standard features, and the judge usually grants it. But no two cases or defendants are the same. The courts are not taking into account the fact that different situations require different results. Instead, the injunctions are overbroad and reach behavior that is beyond what is alleged in the complaint.
Some of these restraining orders and injunctions restrict how much money a defendant can spend in a month or what type of online advertising it can use while the case is pending. Other injunctions require affirmative behavior, such as a requirement that the defendant report to the FTC every time it creates or operates any type of business. In either case, the defendant is forced to open its entire existence to the FTC, and everything it does is subject to scrutiny.
Another problem with standard, overbroad injunctions is that a defendant may become uncertain as to what it must do to prevent being held in contempt of court for non-compliance. The language in the injunction is often so vague and undefined that the FTC can act in its discretion to find a defendant in contempt.
5. And is that the end of the story?
IFRAH: No, unfortunately, plaintiffs lawyers often look to copycat an FTC action, and as a result companies may then have yet another headache to deal with, if they haven't already been irreparably damaged by the FTC's actions.

A Cautionary Tale: EU Probing Google for Possible Privacy Violations
The increasing difficulties faced by internet providers and data gatherers in the international realm have yet again come to the fore. Privacy regulators in France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Italy have banded together to investigate whether to fine Google for what they perceive to be violations of European Union privacy laws.
The background is that in March 2012, Google replaced its disparate privacy policies applicable to its various products (such as Gmail and YouTube) with a single policy that applied to all of its services.
However, as part of a report issued in October 2012, the EU's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party then declared that Google's unified policy did not comply with EU data protection laws. The EU's primary, but not only, quibble with Google's new policy involved the sharing of personal data across multiple Google services and platforms. At that time, the president of the French regulatory body, the CNIL, indicated that litigation would be initiated if Google did not implement the Working Party's recommendations within three to four months.
Google – whose privacy policies appear to comply with U.S. law – did not bow to the EU regulators' demands. As a result, on April 2, 2013, CNIL announced that it will lead efforts by the various EU states' data protection authorities to coordinate "repressive action" against Google for not implementing the changes to its privacy policy that were demanded in the October Working Group Paper. Google has defended its privacy policy and contends that its new single policy complies with EU data protection laws.
As a result, Google now faces the time and costs of substantial regulatory oversight and investigation, as well as potential fines, from multiple national privacy protection watchdogs. In fairness, the EU privacy regulators have tended to be rather inclusive in their interpretation of what is and is not required by law. This is unfair to Google and to other companies that comply with what they believe to be the letter and spirit of the law, only to have regulators reinterpret the law to move the goal posts. But this is typical in the EU regulatory realm.
Google's predicament sends a stern warning to all internet providers that gather personal data. Any provider's natural inclination is to focus on complying with the applicable privacy rules applicable in the country where the provider is located. But the internet is borderless, subjecting providers to multiple laws in multiple jurisdictions. This creates the need for each provider to carefully analyze privacy policies to ensure as best as possible that it complies with the rules applicable across the globe. EU regulators and others are no longer content to allow the United States to set the guidelines for privacy and other rights, creating new challenges for privacy compliance in the United States and abroad.

FTC Points to Key Issues in New World of Mobile Payments
Earlier this month, the Federal Trade Commission released a staff report outlining key issues facing consumers and companies as they adopt mobile payment services, entitled "Paper, Plastic . . . or Mobile? An FTC Workshop on Mobile Payments." The report is based on a workshop held by the FTC in 2012 to examine the mobile payment industry.
Consumer use of mobile payment services continues to grow quickly. Mobile payment systems have the potential to be beneficial for both companies and consumers. However, many issues regarding fraud, privacy and security arise, and the FTC is looking to the industry to take the lead on establishing sound policies.
The FTC encourages companies that use mobile payment systems to develop clear policies on the resolution of disputes regarding unauthorized or fraudulent charges. Consumers fund their mobile purchases from a variety of sources (e.g., credit cards, bank account, mobile phone bills) and under current regulations each different method of funding has a different process for consumers to dispute an unauthorized or fraudulent charge. The FTC wants to create a clearer and streamlined process for consumers if an issue were to arise regarding a disputed charge. The FTC is planning to hold a separate roundtable on this issue in May.
The report highlights the problems associated with "cramming," which involves placing unauthorized charges on a consumer's phone bill. The FTC suggests that mobile carriers should perform some due diligence on companies from which they accept charges.
The report also discusses the idea of "privacy by design," which involves strong privacy policies and transparency for consumers from inception of a company's offerings. Consumers understand that they will need to provide some information to access a company's services, but consumers may want to control how that information is stored and shared. The FTC and the industry realize that mobile payment systems can be an efficient, favored payment method. However, companies offering mobile payments need to be clear to consumers about how their data is being collected, maintained and used. Privacy issues are of paramount concern when using mobile payment systems because of the enormous amount of data available on smartphones.
The report also notes the potential privacy issues that can occur in the mobile payment process. Since mobile payment providers have access to both the financial information and contact information of the payer, they are in a position to create a serious privacy breach. The report suggests that companies consider privacy throughout the process of development, be transparent regarding data practices, and allow consumers options on how they want their information to be collected.
The report also encourages the industry to adopt measures to ensure that the entire mobile payment process is secure since financial information could potentially be disclosed. The FTC notes that there is technology available to make the protection of payment information more secure and suggests that financial information should be encrypted at all points in the transaction.
Companies should take note of the FTC's report and adjust their practices. The FTC has put companies on notice about its expectations in mobile payments. It would not surprise us to see enforcement actions in the future in the area. Companies should, in particular, make clear their policy for explaining charges, and how they can be authorized. The more support a company has in showing that a charge is justified, the easier it will be to defend. This kind of specificity may also help influence authorities from even bringing charges. When offering mobile payment services, opt-in screens requiring a click or a password to make a charge and making sure the network is secure are best practices that may save an organization from being on the receiving end of an enforcement action.

Google Settles Another Privacy Allegation — This One Concerning Its 'Street View'
Google recently agreed to a settlement after a three-year investigation conducted by 38 state attorneys general stemming for allegations that it had violated individuals' privacy rights when it collected information from unsecured wireless networks while Google was engaged in its Street View mapping project. Full text of the settlement is available here.
Google used special vehicles to create the pictures that are seen on Google Street View. Google tried to improve its location services by identifying wireless Internet signals that could provide reference points on the map. In the process, the vehicles collected network identification information, as well as data, from unsecured wireless networks.
Google has stated that the collection of any personal information from the wireless networks was unintentional and that the information was never used or looked at. The company has agreed to destroy the personal data that it collected. Google will also be required to pay a $7 million fine as part of the settlement.
As part of the settlement, Google also agreed to launch a new internal privacy education program. The settlement requires Google to hold an annual privacy week event for its employees and to make privacy education available for select employees. Additionally, it must provide refresher training for its lawyers that oversee new products.
The settlement also requires Google to educate the public on privacy. Google will be required to create a video for YouTube explaining how people can easily encrypt data on their wireless networks and run an ad online every day for two years promoting it. It must also run educational ads in the biggest newspapers in the 38 participating states. Google will have to submit data to the state attorneys general to show that it is in compliance with the requirements of the settlement.
The Connecticut Attorney General's office led an eight-state committee that investigated the data collection and led to this settlement. Connecticut Attorney General George Jespen said in a statement, "Consumers have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This agreement recognizes those rights and ensures that Google will not use similar tactics in the future to collect personal information without permission from unsuspecting consumers."
This is another example of states taking a more aggressive approach to protecting consumer privacy rights when the federal government does not. The Federal Trade Commission investigated this activity by Google but closed its case without a fine. The Federal Communications Commission also investigated, and issued a $25,000 fine, but that fine was largely for Google allegedly hindering the investigation. Companies that do business on the Internet should be aware that states will continue to enforce privacy laws. Companies must make sure that they do not unintentionally collect unnecessary sensitive information in the course of their business activities.

FTC Revises Online Advertising Disclosure Guidelines: Say It and Say It Clearly
This week, the FTC released updated guidance to its 2000 "Dot Com Disclosures," a guide covering disclosures in online advertising. The online world has certainly changed in 13 years, and the new guidelines, available here, cover advances in online advertising, including mobile advertising.
One central theme still prevails: existing consumer protection laws and rules apply no matter where you offer products and services: newspapers, magazines, TV and radio commercials, websites, direct marketing, and mobile marketing. Thus, the basic principle applies that companies must ensure that their advertisements are truthful and accurate, including providing disclosures necessary to ensure that an advertisement is not misleading. Further, the disclosures should be clear and conspicuous – irrespective of the medium of the message.
In determining whether a disclosure is "clear and conspicuous" as the FTC requires, advertisers should consider the disclosure's placement in the ad. Importantly, the 2000 guidelines defined proximity of disclosures to ads as "near, and when possible, on the same screen." The new guidelines state that disclosures should be "as close as possible" to the relevant claim. The closer the disclosure is to the claim, the better it is for FTC compliance purposes.
Advertisers should also consider: the prominence of the disclosure; whether it is unavoidable (e.g., consumers must scroll past the disclosure before they can make a purchase); whether other parts of the ad distract attention from the disclosure; whether the disclosure should be repeated at different places on the website; whether audio message disclosures are of sufficient volume and cadence (e.g., too fast); whether visual disclosures appear long enough; and, whether the language of the disclosure is appropriate for the intended audience. The FTC suggests avoiding "legalese" or technical jargon.
Mobile marketers should take note that the FTC provided some additional guidance regarding disclosure issues particular to mobile marketing. In particular, the FTC stated that the various devices and platforms upon which an advertisement appears or a claim is made should be considered. For example, if the advertiser cannot make necessary disclosures because of the limit of the space (e.g., in a mobile app), then the claim should not be made on the platform.
The FTC does permit hyperlinks for disclosures in certain circumstances. However, hyperlinks must:
– be obvious
– be labeled appropriately to convey the importance, nature and relevance of the information they lead to (such as "Service plan required. Get service plan prices here")
– be used consistently
– be placed as close as possible to the relevant information the hyperlink qualifies and made noticeable
– take consumers directly to the disclosure after clicking
Companies should assess the effectiveness of the hyperlink by monitoring click-through rates and make changes accordingly. The agency also suggests that advertisers design ads so that scrolling is not necessary to find a disclosure. The FTC discourages hyperlinks for disclosures involving product costs or certain health and safety issues (similar to its 2000 guidelines).
The FTC suggests that companies display disclosures before a consumer chooses to buy a product or service – in other words, the disclosure should appear before a consumer adds a purchase to his or her "shopping cart" or before the consumer clicks "buy now." The FTC also cautions that necessary disclosures should not be relegated to general "terms of use" and similar contractual terms on a website. Further, because so many consumers have set their computers to prevent "pop ups," the FTC discourages companies from placing disclosures in "pop ups."
Probably the most helpful part of the new guidelines are the 22 different examples of proper/improper disclosures the FTC provides at the end of the guidelines. As companies move forward in promoting products and services online, particularly on mobile platforms, reviewing these examples along with the general principles of truthful and complete statements in advertising may save a company from an FTC enforcement action.
Organizations are increasingly marketing their products and services on mobile platforms. Advertisers should take note that special considerations apply in the mobile marketplace, especially the space and text size limitations. If a disclosure is necessary to prevent an advertisement from being deceptive, unfair, or otherwise violative of an FTC rule, it must be clear and placed next to the offer. If that can't be done, the safest course would be to move the offer to another platform, such as a traditional website. The FTC and the states have demonstrated that they take a keen interest in mobile marketing and they will be watching claims and disclosures in the smartphone/tablet universe.

Web Analytics Firm Settles FTC Charges Over Intrusive Data Tracking
The Federal Trade Commission recently announced that it has approved a final order settling charges against Compete, Inc., a Boston-based web analytics company. Compete, Inc. sells reports on consumer browsing behavior to clients looking to drive more traffic to their websites and increase sales. Compete, Inc. obtained the information by getting consumers to install the company's web-tracking software in their computers. The FTC alleged that the company's business practices were unfair and deceptive because the company did not sufficiently describe the types of information it was collecting from its users.
With all the heightened concerns among consumers about internet privacy, one might wonder why consumers would be willing to install web-tracking software in their computers in the first place. Well, Compete, Inc. sweetened the pot by offering gift cards, cash rewards, and other incentives to entice consumers.
The fact that Compete, Inc. was using web-tracking software to track consumers' visits to websites was not the problem for the FTC. The major issue was that the software was recording far more than just which websites a consumer was visiting. It was recording everything the user entered on the websites – usernames, passwords, detailed credit card information, Social Security numbers, etc. – all without the consumer's knowledge or consent.
Reports indicate that the company may not have known that its software was collecting all of this user information. Compete, Inc. representatives stated that in January 2010, when they first learned that there was a potential security issue, they immediately disabled data collection from affected versions of the software and deleted inadvertently-collected information from their servers. The company also responded by implementing new data filters and security measures. The company took these steps even before the order was handed down and said that it would continue to develop and uphold new standards of transparency and security.
Perhaps the company's commitment to correcting its behavior is part of the reason that the FTC settlement order didn't include a monetary sanction. Instead, the order focuses on ensuring that such intrusive data is not collected in the future. Pursuant to the order, Compete, Inc. must implement a comprehensive information security program with biannual audits from an independent third party for the next 20 years (a fairly typical obligation in recent FTC settlements of this type); disclose the types of information that will be collected and obtain consumers' express consent through their website before collecting any data from its web-tracking software; delete or anonymize the use of the consumer data it has already collected; and provide consumers with directions on how to uninstall the web-tracking software. The settlement also bars the company from misrepresenting its privacy and data security practices.
In the age of affiliate marketing, web analytics are extremely valuable for merchants seeking to increase web traffic to drive revenue. However, FTC investigations and resulting sanctions are costly, time-consuming, and quite simply bad for business. Companies interested in using this technology should make sure they know exactly what information they are collecting and should ensure that they are following FTC guidelines regarding data privacy. Clear disclosures to the public as to what software is being installed, what information is viewed or collected, and how that information is used, are all critical. Taking steps to get it right in the beginning will help them avoid costly investigations and bad press in the end.

Is Equifax Selling Your Salary Information?
According to a recent NBC News report, Equifax, one of the three largest American credit reporting agencies, has assembled an enormous database containing employment and salary information for more than 190 million U.S. adults. Very few people knew of the existence of the database, but the information in it allegedly is being sold to third parties without consumers' consent.
According to the report, an Equifax-owned company, The Work Number obtains substantial information– through the assistance of human resources departments and other sources around the country including government agencies and Fortune 500 companies. The Work Number then sells this information. According to The Work Number's website, payroll information comes from over 2,000 employers. Reports have stated that the database is so detailed that for many individuals it has weekly pay information, as well as other sensitive information such as the identity of the individual's health care provider and whether the individual has ever filed a claim for unemployment benefits.
Seven members of Congress recently wrote a letter to Equifax asking for more information on the legality of The Work Number. "What is most concerning to us is that this massive database appears to generate revenue using consumers' sensitive personal information for profit," the letter states.
Companies state that they agree to sign up for The Work Number because it gives them a simple way to outsource employment verification of former employees. Companies provide their human resources information to The Work Number and The Work Number automates the process. There is no longer a need for companies to spend the time to verify a former employee's work history.
In 2009, according to the NBCNews.om report, Equifax said that the data The Work Number had amassed covered 30 percent of the working U.S. population, and the database is now adding 12 million records annually according to NBCNews.com.
It is not entirely clear what Equifax is doing with the data, where it is selling it, and what can be sold without consent. In a statement after NBCNews.com broke the story Equifax said, "The Work Number does not provide debt collectors with salary/pay rate/income information. They can request only employment verification data which The Work Number will provide if there is permissible purpose as detailed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act." Equifax also denied reports that the salary information is sold to debt collectors.
Equifax did confirm that "pay rate" information is shared with third parties including mortgage, automobile, and other financial services companies — as authorized under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Since the data is considered a credit report, consumers are entitled to one free report every year, which shows the data contained in the reports and what entities have requested the data.
Companies that collect and share data will continue to face scrutiny from state and federal government agencies that have shown a consistent effort focused on protecting consumers' privacy rights. Consumer protection laws continue to evolve and provide individuals with specific rights as well as restrictions on companies regarding information that can be shared. All companies that deal with consumer information need to take a proactive approach to make sure that they are in compliance with all governing laws. The FTC, in particular, has shown a willingness and focus to utilize laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act to take enforcement action against companies offering employment and credit data.

FTC Remains Tough on 'Robocalls' with New Enforcement Case
Once again, the FTC has completed a major enforcement action against the illegal use of robocalls, a form of prerecorded, computerized telemarketing calls. This time, the action resulted in a $1.1 million civil penalty against Roy M. Cox, an individual whom the FTC considered to be the architect of an illegal robocall operation. The FTC alleged that Cox and several companies he controlled were using robocalls to market credit card interest-rate reduction programs, extended automobile warranties, and home security systems. Due to Cox's inability to pay, the dollar penalty has been waived and Cox has been permanently banned from participating in any telemarketing activities.
According to the December 2011 complaint, Cox and his co-defendants were not only making prerecorded sales calls to consumers without their consent, in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule, but they were also illegally disguising their identity on customers' caller ID displays. Instead of displaying the companies' actual name and contact information, generic names such as "CARD SERVICES," "CREDIT SERVICES," or "PRIVATE OFFICE" would appear on a recipient's caller ID. This tactic, known as "caller ID Spoofing," is also prohibited by law.
As we reported in October, the FTC has been struggling to keep pace with these technological advancements, so it called on the public to come up with a solution. The commission offered a $50,000 prize to whoever could design a program to screen out illegal robocalls. The challenge was open to the public for three months and garnered nearly 800 submissions. The agency expects to announce a winner in early April.
The case against Cox and many of the FTC's previous enforcement actions indicate that the FTC may be most concerned with robocalls that use patently deceptive advertising to lure in vulnerable, unsuspecting customers. Companies offering fraudulent credit card services, auto-warranty protection, and medical plans have made themselves an easy mark for the FTC, because of the likelihood that they will be reported by recipients or advocacy groups. However, companies interested in using computerized telemarketing must remember that even innocuous content can violate the Telemarketing Sales Rule (and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act) if recipients have not given prior written consent to receive such calls. Also, any company engaging in telemarketing should be subscribing to the federal "do not call" list and scrubbing its calling lists against the federal list. Some states still maintain their own lists as well. In addition to FTC or FCC enforcement, illegal robocalling can result in costly civil litigation, including class actions.

Blood Bank Settles FTC Complaint About Customer Data Privacy
Any company that collects personal information about individuals, such as credit card numbers and social security numbers, must be very careful about the way in which it stores and secures that information. Even a blood bank that stores umbilical cord blood needs to keep these privacy rules in clear view. That is one of the messages of a recent Federal Trade Commission action.
California-based Cbr Systems is one of the leaders in the growing field of umbilical cord storage. Umbilical cords are rich in stem cells, and new parents are paying to have the cord or cord blood stored away for the child's possible medical use later in life. Cbr acquires and stores the cords for an annual fee.
Cbr also stores a vast amount of information related to these tissues, including names, dates and times of birth, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, checking account numbers, addresses, and driver's license numbers. In December 2010, a Cbr employee removed four backup tapes containing this sensitive information in order to transport them to a different office. Soon after, a thief stole the tapes and other company devices from the employee's car. In all, personal information of nearly 300,000 Cbr customers was compromised. The tapes and other devices were not encrypted.
The FTC pursued this matter because it found that Cbr's privacy policy was deceptive under the FTC Act. The privacy policy stated, "Whenever Cbr handles personal information, regardless of where this occurs, Cbr takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy." FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said, "The FTC can and will take action to make sure that companies live up to the privacy promises they make to consumers, particularly when it comes to highly sensitive information like the health information collected by Cbr."
Under the terms of the settlement, Cbr must establish an information security system, submit to security audits every other year for the next 20 years, and ensure that it does not misrepresent its privacy and security practices. A violation of the final order could result in Cbr paying up to $16,000 per violation.
In addition to the FTC action, Cbr clients filed a class action against the company alleging that the company failed to adequately protect the information, and belatedly notified customers of the privacy breach. On February 5, 2013, a federal judge in Johansson-Dohrmann v. CBR Systems Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, No. 12-1115, granted preliminary approval of a proposed settlement in which CBR must provide credit monitoring and identity theft insurance to each affected class member, as well as make cash reimbursements for any losses resulting from identity theft. The settlement also provides up to $600,000 in payments to the plaintiffs' lawyers.
Data privacy breaches are a serious concern for any company. They can result in serious reputational harm, as well as financial loss through costly legal actions initiated by the FTC, states, or class actions. The cost of developing and implementing an effective data privacy protocol is a worthwhile investment to guard against these losses. Companies should refer to the FTC's guides and manuals for protecting consumers' personal information. Implementing these procedures will serve to protect both consumers and the company itself.

Vertical Blade Grass Shears
Any comments on these grass shears, to be used as edge shears for flower beds in lawn areas? My beds are trenched and I've always looked for a tool to clip the grass that grows across the trench. Check this tool out at the link below, scroll down to "Vertical Blade Lawn Shears 39" (P75)" and tell me if it's worth $66. Currently, I'm using some vertical hand held grass shears I bought at Lowes the other day for $9.99. Just thought the long handles would be a plus. Bacho is suppose to be a great brand,too. No, I'm not spamming, honest!
Still haven't bought them, still debating. The small hand shears are doing the job, albeit bending over for extended periods of time isn't great on the back. I'm wondering about those handles on the Bachos, look like lopper handles and just seems like an odd way to operate vertical shears. I've seen cheaper models in catalogs that have a small handle at the very top of the long pole that you squeeze with one hand, like a gripper you pick things up with.
Funny that I would run across these now - this is my first visit to this forum. I was just out weed-eating tonight and I *hate* it...was thinking I could do just as well with something like this, but I did not know such a tool existed. I would also love to hear if anyone else has used them.
Hey all,
I use a Fiskar's long handled grass shear that I bought several years ago at Sear's. It works decently. Here's a link to it and some other ones. Anything to save our backs!
Here is a link that might be useful: Long handled grass shears
brockthegreek - a month later after posting this, I was at a Spring Craft/Art fair type thing; and this lady had some antique odds and ends. One was an old long handled grass shear just like those in the pics you linked to! It almost looked like a toy - green tin with two small hard rubber wheels and a grip handle. Probably from the 1930 or 40's. I paid $10 for it, took it home and couldn't wait to use it. The blades were still sharp and it actually worked where the wheels could roll. But, where my flower beds are trenched, it wasn't able to get at the grass very easily.
Thanks for your feedback, tho. I'm still debating the Bacho's.
My $9.99 Lowe's hand shears broke already. Well, a bolt fell out in the middle of a job - somewhere, it's lost - and now the blades won't shut by themselves. I have to push the lower blade shut with my finger...grrrrr. This doesn't have much to do with my original post, but just thought I'd share. Now to find an old bolt in the nail box and see if I can fix the shears.
schoolhouse - the shears in your posted picture would require you to be bending down or crouching when you use them. I would recommend traditional long-handled edging shears like the ones in the link. They work very well, you do not have to bend and they last for ever. The length of the handle also means you can exert quite a force with them. This is what I use on my grass paths. As with all tools you get what you pay for and I would not expect to get shears like this of an acceptable quality for less than about £20 - 25. That said, I have been using mine for over 20 years.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Yeah, I think the Bacho vertical shears look pretty close to what your photo shows. Do you mean 39" handles wouldn't be long enough? I see also in your photo that (you?) are using them with a trenched bed which just what I need. Where did you buy yours and how much is that in US dollars? ha.
Bacho shears:
The picture is not of me. I found it on Google. Mine are Wilkinson Sword shears and I'm not sure how long the handles are. I thought the ones you were posting about were the little hand held shears I saw when I looked at your web address. The ones you picture in your last post look just the thing.You can get ones with telescopic handles but I have never tried them. I find them easy to use. Over here we generally have a gully around beds which is cut vertical on the grass side with a spade or edging iron and sloping on the bed side. The link shows a grass path on my allotment and the edging shears and push mower which made it. As you can see they are old and rusty but still doing stalwart service. To get a price in the US it would probably be best if you Googeled.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Yes,flora - that's basically how my edging looks around my flowerbeds and the ones with boxwood hedge surrounding them.
Cut vertical on the grass side, then I have about a foot more or less dirt and mulch,then the bed. Never did the slope cut , I've read about that somewhere else. Said it helps to keep erosion at bay. I should do it.
Those shears of yours DO look sturdy and perfect for the job. Bet I'll end up with a pair before too long. Thanks for the tips and the link.

Published February 9, 2012
Friday will start out dry and will still be warm in the mid to upper 60s, but showers will return Friday night. It'll be a brief batch of showers and it's back to dry weather for the rest of the weekend. Highs will stay in the mid 60s.
After a warm, mild winter, Crater Lake National Park has recorded nearly two feet of snow in recent days, but the seasonal total is still a third of normal.
Local farmers are concerned that our current warm weather will negatively affect this season's grape crop.
The wells in San Joaquin's city yard are always pumping, digging far into the earth, supplying this community of 4,000 people with the natural resource they so desperately need.

The atmosphere is always lovely, the food great and the service quite up-standard.
The price is very correct considering that you always finish the dinner full
The wine choice is limited but good: it is a good way to enjoy Chinese food with falvours which a foreign can almost 80% like.
Better to book a table and to ask a place outside in the summer season

UNLV Presents Details Of Las Vegas Stadium Proposal, Including 100-Yard Video Screen
Published January 14, 2013
MULTI-PURPOSE VENUE: In Las Vegas, Alan Snel reported UNLV Now "would be part of an overall campus redevelopment project," which would also include "2,000 to 3,000 student housing units and 300,000 to 400,000 square-feet of retail space." Cavileer said, "This is not a stadium. It's an events center. We don't need a resident team." Architecture firm Woods Bagot Sport Global Dir Dan Meis "designed the venue for Majestic." Cavileer said that the VIP suites would "easily go for seven figures a year." He "envisioned major casinos or corporations buying the super suites." Snel noted the UNLV Board of Regents is "expected to vote on the events center proposal at its Feb. 28 meeting" (LVRJ.com, 1/11). YAHOO SPORTS' Kevin Iole reported one way "for certain the stadium would generate money is by hosting boxing and mixed martial arts matches." Major fights "would help it pay down its debt service." Top Rank and Golden Boy would "likely be interested in putting on a few shows a year in such a facility." The stadium "not only could help the UNLV football team resurrect itself from virtual obscurity" but also would "put thousands of fight fans a year into it with big events" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 1/11).
