A new provision for trademark parody: is it a joke?
There are a number of fashion players that base their business on the very thin line running between tribute and misappropriation. In this context it is difficult to understand how quotations of well-known fashion trademarks made in a humoristic context should be treated, especially as the EU legislation did not provide any guidance on the parody fair use defence. At least, up to now.
In fact, Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2015, now provides in its Recital 21 that "use of a trade mark by third parties for the purpose of artistic expression should be considered as being fair as long as it is at the same time in accordance with honest practices in industrial and commercial matters. Furthermore, this Regulation should be applied in a way that ensures full respect for fundamental rights and freedoms and in particular the freedom of expression".

After a long period of no inspiration, I've started sketching again. It's mostly geometric patterns, nothing special, but hopefully something interesting will come of it.
On the other hand, I've been writing a lot lately (mostly for Creative Writing - Poetry assignments), and I'll try to post some of that over the next few days.

Conceived by the Space Science Division as a means of measuring and analyzing Solar Radiation, twelve SOLRAD satellites were successfully launched between June 1960 and March 1976. The first SOLRAD had an immediate scientific impact. Equipped with both X-ray and Lyman-alpha sensors, SOLRAD I quickly determined that radio fade-outs were caused by solar X-ray emissions. Subsequent SOLRADs also had important, although not quite so dramatic, scientific payoffs.
By 1972 the SolRad series satellite had grown from a 19 kg polished aluminum ball measuring 51 cm in diameter and with a useful lifetime of 10 months, to a 118 kg 12-sided cylinder measuring 76 cm x 58 cm and with a seven year life.
The SolRad satellite carried a classified ELINT payload, called Grab. It was kept secret for nearly 40 years, until its existence was revealed by the Director of the National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO) during NRL's 75th anniversary jubilee events.
Gross mass: 170 kg (370 lb).
First Launch: 1968.03.05.
Last Launch: 1976.03.15.
Number: 4 .

This book is simply a collection of images that represent the past few years of my life.
My photography is often better explained by the people closest to me. Often I am not quite sure what it is that I am trying to say but I manage to say it anyway. My pictures speak to me and tell me things about the people that I often don't see or take for granted. They allow me to look back on a moment and see it for what it truly was. I would rather sit with my camera all day before taking a single picture because I believe that when the moment is right it will come to me and that moment will speak for itself in my photos.

At the Saturday matinée, March 15, 2014, the Metropolitan Opera gave its final performance of Jules Massenet's "Werther," starring German tenor Jonas Kaufmann as the troubled lad who dies of love. (Technically the cause of death is a self-inflicted pistol shot, but you get the meaning.) He and his costar, French mezzo-soprano Sophie Koch in the role of Charlotte—the unrequited love interest—totally owned the stage in all their scenes. When the Act IV curtain fell, the audience roared in wild applause, complete with strictly forbidden confetti showers from the Family Circle Boxes.
The role of Sophie, Charlotte's younger sister and the second-oldest of eight children, and that of Albert, the man Charlotte promises her (deceased) mother she will marry, are the other two principals. Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa and Serbian-Israeli baritone David Bižic interpreted these characters, giving committed performances to their relatively small roles.
The new production by director Richard Eyre, set and costume designer Rob Howell, lighting designer Peter Mumford, and choreographer Sara Erde is a feast for the eyes and a study in 19th-century realism. Not to be overlooked are the thought-provoking, often beautiful projections by video designer Wendall K. Harrington.
Just one example of the latter: During the Act I "Clair de lune" (Moonlight) scene, five elegant couples dressed for a ball danced a gentle waltz. When Werther and Charlotte eventually joined them, the screen at the back of the stage—the ornate wall of a richly furnished ballroom—began "revolving," emulating the circles being traced by the central couple. The audience saw the walls and the gathered guests floating by. Then, as if the couple leaned back to look upward, the audience glimpsed the ballroom ceiling, its chandeliers, crown mouldings and dome also moving in circles. A clever idea.
Whereas Act I familiarises the audience with Charlotte in her motherly role as eldest sister and shows Werther falling instantly in love with her, Act II basically consists of Werther behaving badly. He has not taken well to Charlotte's marriage to Albert. Werther asks if she loves her husband, and she obliquely responds that one feels gratitude when in close company with excellent people.
Acts III and IV, on the other hand, are tours de force for Charlotte and Werther, respectively. She scarcely leaves the stage. He has returned at Christmas time, just as she had bidden him. He asks if she missed him, and again she evasively bids him to observe that the room's furniture is exactly the way it was before. Jonas Kaufmann's ardent showstopper, "Pourquoi me révellier, ô souffle du printemps?" (Why did you waken me, oh Spring breeze?) detonates a feverishly passionate duet of Charlotte's ultimately unsuccessful attempts to flee from Werther's grasp. Not since Alfredo Kraus and Tatiana Troyanos has a stage couple generated this much blistering heat.
French-Armenian conductor Alain Altinoglu led the mighty forces of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in a sweeping account of this score, with its nod to Richard Wagner.

Providing Minnesotans with better health care at lower cost
One reason health care costs have grown so quickly is because the health care system has historically paid for care based on the number of services provided, with few incentives for quality or value. Health reform begins to change this trend by incentivizing providers to improve patient care and lower costs.
Minnesota's health reform efforts are leading the nation; we are the first state to make available information about both health care cost and quality. This information on how well providers treat common diseases like diabetes and depression is a powerful tool for health plans, consumers and employers to choose high-quality health care providers.
- How does Minnesota measure quality in health care?
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) established and annually updates a core set of standardized health care quality measures for physician clinics and hospitals. These measures include care for diabetes, coronary artery and heart disease, asthma, and depression. Measures are developed in consultation with health care providers and are based on medical evidence. Providers are required to submit data on these measures and MDH publicly reports this information.
- How are the quality measures be used?
The measures are used to develop a system to reward providers when they provide quality care, or make improvements over time. These payments are sometimes called "pay-for-performance" incentives. The State Employee Group Insurance Program and the Minnesota Department of Human Services must use this incentive system.
- How can I find health care providers that provide high-quality, lower cost services?
The Minnesota Department of Health has been developing a system to compare physician clinics and hospitals based on cost and quality. The results will be reported in a consumer-friendly way beginning early in 2012. This information will also be used by health plans, state agencies, and local government to help consumers select high-quality, low –cost providers. Providers can also use this information to improve their quality and reduce costs.
- I have heard the term "accountable care organizations." What are these?
Accountable care organizations (ACO) are a model for paying for and delivering health care that pays providers based on the quality of care they provide and the total cost of care. Health systems in Minnesota have been developing ACO models for several years and they now have the opportunity to use the model with Medicare patients through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. Health reform created this Center which has broad authority to try new payment and care delivery models that improve health care quality and decrease cost, including ACOs.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is also exploring how an ACO model could be used to improve care and bring down costs for enrollees in the state's Medicaid program beginning in 2012.

- Release Date: February 20, 2009
- Director: Bertrand Tavernier
- Main Actors: Tommy Lee Jones, John Goodman, Peter Sarsgaard, Kelly Macdonald, Levon Helm
Based on a book by prolific crime writer James Lee Burke, In the Electric Mist casts Tommy Lee Jones as Dave Robicheaux, a New Orleans detective whose investigation into the death of a local prostitute brings him face-to-face with a host of quirky characters. In addition to two shifty movie stars in town for a shoot (Peter Sarsgaard and Kelly Macdonald), Robicheaux must contend with a sketchy local mobster (John Goodman), an industrial kingpin (Ned Beatty), and even the ghost of a Civil War-era confederate soldier (Levon Helm).
In the Electric Mist premiered at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival to mostly negative reviews, and it's not difficult to see why. Though director Bertrand Tavernier does a superb job of capturing the seedy post-Katrina landscape of New Orleans, the film has been infused with a hopelessly meandering style that's exacerbated by the myriad of subplots and supporting characters. It's difficult to work up any enthusiasm for Robicheaux's convoluted investigation, as screenwriters Jerzy Kromolowski and Mary Olson-Kromolowski subject the character to one needless encounter after another. Robicheaux's ongoing dialogue with Levon Helm's spooky apparition is an embarrassingly silly element. Still, the film's not a total wash; Jones delivers as compelling a performance as one might have expected (even if he does mumble most of his lines), while the colorful supporting cast buoys the viewer's interest from time to time. Goodman is especially strong as a gleefully sleazy mobster.
In the Electric Mist takes its inspiration from James Lee Burke's 1993 novel In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead, which is one of 18 books in the best-selling Dave Robicheaux series. This is the second film inspired by a Dave Robicheaux book, following the 1996 Alec Baldwin/Teri Hatcher thriller Heaven's Prisoners. Tavernier has peppered the proceedings with a number of attention-grabbing sequences that temporarily lift the movie out of its doldrums, including an electrifying interlude in which Robicheaux works Goodman's character over with a baseball bat. There are a few other similarly brutal moments sprinkled throughout In the Electric Mist's 102-minute running time, which ultimately does ensure that the movie comes off as a watchable yet entirely forgettable crime drama.

The original soap opera series Dark Shadows was the conceptual idea of TV producer, Dan Curtis. This cult classic ran from 1966-1971. The story centered on the Collins' family, founders of the sleepy town of Collinsport, Maine, and the preternatural happenings around their estate home of Collinwood.
Dark Shadows' first episodes introduced the Collins family to afternoon viewers and centered around the arrival of Victoria Winters, newly hired governess to David Collins, and the mysterious Burke Devlin. Although the show got off to a slow start, Dark Shadows was eventually watched faithfully every week by millions of devotees who just could not get enough of the highly addictive show during its run on ABC.
The series opens by introducing the Collins family matriarch, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, who for, as yet unknown reasons, has not left Collinwood in over 18 years. Her brother, Roger, her 18 year old daughter Carolyn, and Roger's 9 year old son David, all inhabit the estate. The first show has the family awaiting the arrival of Victoria, an orphan girl who no one seems to know anything about. Victoria has accepted the job at Collinwood in hopes of finding clues as to her unknown past.
The beginning year of Dark shadows started out as a gothic soap opera, complete with mysterious noises in Collinwood, the appearance of ghosts, in addition to the attempted murder of Roger Collins and the murder of Bill Malloy, the manager of Collins Enterprises. This storyline ended up with the destruction of the Phoenix, Laura Collins, wife to Roger and mother of David.
By episode 210, con man Willie Loomis unintentionally releases a vampire from a chained coffin and we finally have the long awaited arrival of Barnabas Collins. When Barnabas shows up at Collinwood, everyone is surprised he looks identical to the portrait hanging in the foyer, everyone except Barnabas; after all, Barnabas knows that he is the person in the portrait. Through the course of the 1795 storyline, we learn the origins of the Collins family and how Barnabas ended up as a vampire.
Although the vampire was a major draw for the series, most of the Dark Shadows fans tuned in every day for the many plot twists and ghostly warnings. Viewers were left hanging on the edge of their seat, anxiously awaiting the next leap into the past or twirl into parallel time. The draw was waiting to see what would happen next.
The supernatural has always been a fascinating subject and it is not surprising that stories of vampires, witches, werewolves and ghosts have been around to entertain us on television for decades. Dark Shadows was the first such show, predecessor or today's shows that continue to tantalize our generation. If not for Dark Shadows, we most likely would not have any of the beloved vampires of the day, such as Damon and Stephan on the Vampire Diaries or Bill and Eric on True Blood. Barnabas Collins was the vampire that started it all.
This year marks the 48th anniversary of Dark Shadows and the fandom continues to grow. There are Dark Shadows Festivals and Weekends, Dark Shadows Cruises, and Dark Shadows websites and podcasts. Social media is heavy populated with Dark Shadows fans, both new and old. Grandparents are now enjoying the show of their youth with their grandchildren and a new generation of Dark Shadows fans is being born.
Long live Dark Shadows!

How does one with an ASD prepare themselves for Thanksgiving?
In reality it seems pretty simple to normal folk, but for many of us on the spectrum it does take a lot of emotional preparedness! It also helps tremendously if family is understanding of our needs. But what if there are still obvious challenges and obstacles? That is when adults on the spectrum must be sure to step back and take care of our own needs as much as possible.
First, it helps to know if you are having Thanksgiving at your place or at a family/friends place. Then you need to find out what is being served. It really is a nice gesture when the one cooking prepares, or sets aside, something you really enjoy if they are asked politely. It really does help ASD people from having stomach problems if they are sensitive to certain things and it can also help reduce stress as well as anxiety when the person has something they love to eat on their plate.
When things become overwhelming, it is always a good idea to know where an ASD person can go for some quite time and privacy. This in turn will help prevent meltdowns or possible inappropriate behavior from happening when things get overly chaotic for them. Having something to do or a stress ball can also help. Just having choices and resources are extremely important for everyone to have a successful thanksgiving. Hopefully those attending will be understanding and allow the ASD individual to do what they need to do when things get a little crazy. Although, ASD people are occasionally bound to run into people who just refuse to listen or understand and accusations of the individual not liking to be around them or they are just using their disability as an excuse not to do something can start in sadly.
Hopefully this gives those of you ASD people out there a basis of what to go off of. If all else fails, sometimes it's best to leave if people do not understand you have needs as well. It sometimes isn't easy to do so, but if we can learn to be more forthright we can just hope those who claim to care for ASD individuals to come around and learn and understand a bit more.

If You're Looking For A Tease, This Is Just That......but in an ironic way, not in an "it'll-tease-your-hair" way.
I bought this comb specifically for teasing. Why? I don't know, I guess in a wild hairstyling romp I decided to abandon the pursuit of healthy hair and wanted to go for something a little more rock and roll, or even casual chic, a la Blake Lively ponytail. This comb did literally nothing. I'd like to think it's because my hair is just so soft and smooth, but I think it's because the comb sucks at teasing. Oh well, it'll work just fine as a regular...comb...

Lorraine Ross was listed in satisfactory condition at Olympic Medical Center on Saturday.
Port Angeles Police Officer Dallas Maynard said Friday that Don Hales, 69, of Port Angeles had been cited for hitting Ross with his car as she was crossing Race Street in a crosswalk near Civic Field at about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Ross, speaking by phone from her hospital bed, has said she suffered a broken arm, among other injuries.
Second-degree negligent driving, a traffic infraction, carries a maximum penalty of $250, according to state statutes.
According to police accounts, Hales was headed southbound on Race Street in his passenger car as Ross was crossing eastbound when the car struck her.
"We haven't determined the speed," said Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith on Saturday.
The Police Department has said neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be a factor in the accident.
Hales' wife, Darlene, told the Peninsula Daily News he was a senior pastor for the Lower Elwha Assembly of God Church for 20 years and that they both remain active in the ministry.
Ross had a real estate office in Port Angeles for 32 years, retiring in 1995, and served as a City Council member from 1970 to 1978.
She published her own tourist guide, Port Angeles This Week, while working at the Port Angeles Evening News, Clallam County Shopper and her business, Publicity by Lorraine.
She co-authored Port Angeles, U.S.A.: Centennial Edition, 1862-1962 in 1962.
In 2008, she published a book about her brother, Ken Wilcox, founder of Back Country Horsemen of Washington.

Astra Zeneca, Deutsche Bank, Ryanair are Europe's Stocks to Watch
Astra Zeneca PLC became the fastest faller in the Stoxx 600 this morning, with shares down more than 14% after the U.K. pharmaceuticals group rejected a sweetened offer from U.S. rival Pfizer.
The new offer increased the cash component to 45% from 33%, and values Astra Zeneca shares at £55 each, a 45% premium to the pre-offer price. Leif Johansson, chairman of AstraZeneca called the increased Pfizer offer a "minor improvement" but swiftly said it fell short of the board's view. After May 26, Pfizer must walk away for six months, according to U.K. takeover panel rules.
MainFirst Bank said: "(The swift rejection) clearly indicates they feel they have some shareholder support to take that position."
Analysts at Kepler Cheuvreux reckon there's still a chance shareholders could put pressure on AstraZeneca's board to consider the bid. "We believe that if the deal fails, the Astra share price would fall back to where it stood before speculation about a Pfizer offer appeared at around 4000p or even below."
Shares in Deutsche Bank AG earlier fell 2.5% after the German bank, one of the last left in Europe with ambitions to be a global universal bank, revealed plans to sell €8 billion ($11 billion) of new shares to increase its core tier one capital levels to 11.8% of risk-weighted assets from 9.5% now. Deutsche will issue 360 million new shares, of which the Qatari royal family will buy 60 million of the shares, valued at €1.75 billion, via its investment vehicle Paramount Holdings. The remaining €6.25 billion will be sold to existing investors via a so-called rights offering, fully underwritten by six banks.
Analysts at Jefferies said: "The bear case from Deutsche Bank's capital raising is execution risk around a sizeable rights issue in what is looking to be a challenging summer period for markets, particularly given ongoing FICC weakness. The bull case is that the bank has finally removed the capital overhang that has weighed on the stock and post-dilution valuation remains attractive. We believe in the latter."
Analysts at Societe Generale argued that Deutsche Bank needs €13 billion to improve its fully-loaded leverage ratio to 4.0% by end-2015, which would bring it within touching distance of the bottom of the global investment banks peer group. It therefore needs to raise another €5 billion of equity, the French bank said.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs said the capital hike was "necessary" but leaves a number of questions open, including how much money has been earmarked for litigation charges, how much for U.S. operations and questions over its targets for return on equity.
Ryanair PLC topped the Stoxx 600 index after Europe's largest discount carrier unveiled a series of new measures designed to further adapt its business model in a bid to stave off stiff competition from rivals.
Ryanair said it will introduce discounts for frequently flying families this year and offer business passengers fast-track airport services as the carrier also reported an 8% drop in net profit in the year to end-March.
"We remain optimistic about the longer term prospects of the company, supported by further network growth, enhancements in customer services and digital & distribution improvements," said Panmure Gordon.
Ryaniar was joined at the top of the Stoxx 600 by United Internet, Portugal Telecom and Cairn Energy PLC while Astra Zeneca was joined at the bottom by FLSmidth & Co A/S and Banco Popolare Societe Cooperativa SCRL.

N.C. immigration bill advances to House floor
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 3:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 3:01 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A bill granting driving privileges to North Carolina residents who are living in the country illegally is headed to the state House floor.
The bill that cleared the House Finance Committee Tuesday extends driving privileges and authorizes police to detain those reasonably suspected of living in the country illegally. The bill also includes new E-Verify rules for government contractors and some tougher criminal justice provisions.
Republican bill sponsor Harry Warren of Salisbury argues the bill is about improving public safety. The bill is endorsed by the state association of police chiefs, the state Chamber of Commerce and many immigration advocates.
Opponents say the bill is both too punitive and too lenient. Some fear that driver's permit costs are too steep for many, while others oppose issuing them at all.

A Quick Glance Back:
The Wildcats only marched out three upperclassmen, including senior team captain Erin Muirhead, along with juniors Aubrey Taylor and Jamie Holton. Sophomores Karin Wurm and Danielle Hicks performed beyond their years, becoming two of the most consistent scorers on the team. The club also got significant contributions from newcomers, most notably Alexis Greene, Briana Bergeson and Bree Workman.

But that's exactly what the Wildcats did this season as Aubrey Taylor, Jamie Holton and Karin Wurm each received recognition from league office for their performances. Taylor, a junior, earned her award following her second career all-around title, which she collected at
Small Change, Big Difference : Looking to create a spark in the team's vault lineup, head coach Bill Ryden inserted Jamie Holton into the vault lineup for the first time on the season at Stanford on Feb. 17. The 5-5 junior turned in a then-career high 9.825, but shattered that record two weeks later with a 9.925. In seven vault appearances on the year, Holton never scored below a 9.75, and led the squad with a 9.843 average in the event. After Holton's emergence into the vault lineup, the Wildcats averaged a team score of 48.925 over the last seven meets. In the previous six meets, the club averaged 48.679 in the event.
Jamie Holton emerged as a key contributor on vault, beam and floor.
Nice Company: With her first-place score of 9.925 on the vault on March 3, junior Jamie Holton etched her name in the school's all-time record book. The mark, which shattered her previous career-high of 9.825 set just two weeks prior, ranks tied for 10th all-time in the event at Arizona.
Streak Snapped: On March 3, sophomore Danielle Hicks was held out of the vault lineup for the first time since Feb. 4, 2005, ending her streak of all-around appearances at 14. Hicks again missed out on the all-around the following week on March 10, but did score a 9.825 on floor to help
Not So Fast: Two of the Wildcats' victories came against teams that
The Wildcats also reversed a troubling trend at home against a Top 10 UCLA squad. Karin Wurm placed third in the all-around, and Jamie Holton competed in three events for the second time in her career, earning a 9.925 on vault, to help the Wildcats upset the Bruins. The win was not only the first of the year over a Top 10 team for Arizona, but also only the fourth victory over UCLA in the program's history.
Steady Improvement: The Wildcats got off to a shaky start on the beam in 2006, but turned things around once the youthful lineup got some confidence, despite beginning the year with only two beam workers with prior competitive experience. After posting a season-low 47.350 in the second meet of the year at Penn State and falling out of the national Top 25 in the event, Arizona then climbed all the way up to No. 17 in the event by the end of the year. The Wildcats scored a 48.8 or better in six of the last nine meets, including a 48.925 at the North Central Regional.
Instant Impact: The Wildcats called upon five freshmen to play integral roles this season. Alexis Greene was a regular in three events and won four floor titles. Briana Bergeson held a team-best 9.900 on beam and won two titles in the event. Bree Workman anchored the Wildcats' vault lineup throughout the year, capturing three titles while placing in the Top 5 two other times. Greene competed in three events in all but three meets this season and has won four floor titles to go along with one vault title. Bergeson competed on beam and bars in every meet, and also performed her first-career floor routine at the NCAA Regionals. Suzanne Alvey and Sarah Parsons both competed in the bars lineup, with Parson claiming one Top-5 finish. Alvey also performed once on vault.
Star in the Making: Freshman Alexis Greene wasted no time in making a significant impact in the Wildcat lineup. The 5-5 native of
Briana 'Beamer' Bergeson and Alexis Greene on KLPX radio in Tucson.
Beamer on Beam: Freshman Briana Bergeson, known better by her teammates as ?'Beamer,' quickly became one of the Wildcats' top scorers on the balance beam. Throughout the year, she scored a 9.8 or better seven times, best on the team. In three consecutive meets, she bested her career-high and placed no lower than second in those meets. At
Workman-like Vaulter: Freshman Bree Workman became one of the Wildcats' top vaulters this season. She ranked second on the team in scoring average until the final meet of the year, behind junior Jamie Holton, and finished with an average of 9.738. Against
All or Nothing: When Alexis Greene and Bree Workman were on, they were really on. Greene recorded six Top 5 finishes on floor, and captured the title in four of those meets. Workman on the other hand, finished in the Top 5 five times on vault, taking home the title three times. Coincidentally, both also seem to have career nights the same night Karin Wurm captures titles. In two of the four meets Greene has won on floor, she has shared the title with Wurm. Likewise, Workman has shared two of her three vault titles with the sophomore all-arounder.
Facing the Best: Over the course of the season,
Stacked Pac: The Pac-10 was once again one of the toughest conferences in 2007, as five of the seven league squads qualified for the postseason. Stanford won the Pac-10 title, but
Danielle Hicks, who competed in the all-around 11 times, earned academic All-Pac-10 accolades.
Academic Cats: Four Wildcats received praise for their performance in the classroom in addition to their efforts in the gym. Karin Wurm was named Pac-10 First Team All-Academic and also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII at-large second team for her academic and athletic performances in her two seasons as a Wildcat. Aubrey Taylor, Danielle Hicks and Rachelle Silberg each received honorable mention accolades on the Pac-10 All-Academic team.
Future Cats: Last November, head coach Bill Ryden announced the signing of three student-athletes who inked their names to National Letters of Intent to come to
Undergraduate Assistant Coach Jessamyn Salter and senior Erin Muirhead leave the program on track for big things in the future.
A Look Ahead: The Wildcats will return 13 of the 14 gymnasts from the 2006 roster in 2007. Aubrey Taylor and Jamie Holton will take over as the senior leaders, while Karin Wurm and Danielle Hicks will also provide upperclass leadership. Last year's freshmen now have a year of competitive experience under their belts and will be counted on to continue their improvement and make even larger impacts in 2007. While the incoming freshmen class may not be relied upon to provide the immediate impact that was needed this past season, they will help to provide much needed depth across the board.
The schedule will once again be a difficult one, but the Pac-10 Championships are up the road in
The 2006 Arizona Wildcats

This Chapter addresses the gradual progression of Mexicos
approach to private international law, as charted through three
distinct phases. First, as dictated by the concept of absolute territorialism,
Mexico applied the same legal standards to foreigners as to Mexican
nationals, up until 1932. Second, pursuant to the Civil Code of
1932, Mexico adopted a policy of "absolute territorialism"
regarding the application of any foreign law within its borders.
Finally, beginning in the 1970s, Mexico started its journey
towards the "Americanization" of its laws. However, it
was not until the 1988 Amendments that Mexico changed its policy
of absolute territorialism.
This belated third phase, starting in 1988, allowed for the application
of foreign law by adopting explicit rules on conflict of laws in
Mexico, such as Article 12. Further, with the amendments of 1988,
the status of natural persons, movable and immovable assets, and
legal acts and contracts were all provided with judicial notice
of foreign law through Article 14. Mexican judges could now apply
foreign law "as the corresponding foreign judge would."
So long as there existed an analogous legal institution in Mexico,
no identical institution needed to be present. However, problems
do arise in the areas of judicial notice and the novelty of applying
foreign law to the nature of the Mexicos legal system.
Two special areas of mention remain: first, interstate conflicts
seem to have not been distinguished from their international counterparts,
according to Article 14. Thus, these two categories should be treated
much in the same manner. Second, there remain two exceptions to
the application of foreign law in Mexico: (1) when it is deemed
to be "fraud on the law"; and (2) when "public order"
necessitates otherwise.

Suspicious "Grand Theft Auto 5" PC multiplayer beta emails are being sent out to players. According to a report from Kotaku on March 19, a few online criminals are trying to get users to download a malware called "BKDR_ANDROM.ATG" by disguising it as a code to get into the online play test for the rumored computer version of "GTA 5."
Trend Micro disclosed that they do not know how many people have been caught up in the scheme. However, the online security company is trying to "spread awareness of this issue to help contain this problem." You can find some screens from the open-world action-adventure video game on the PS3 and Xbox 360 with the media gallery to the left of this article as well as the statement from the software company below:
At this time we don't have an indication of how many people it has caused problems for. Trend Micro is trying to spread awareness of this issue to help contain this problem.
Rockstar Games, the publisher of the video game, has not yet indicated that "GTA 5" would be released for the PC. However, an ongoing online petition is showing that hundreds of thousands are fans are waiting for the sequel to eventually arrive on personal computers. It seems like a few online criminals decided to take advantage of the fandom by tricking users into installing a malware.
"GTA 5" first came out on the aforesaid PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles last year. It has sold more than 32.5 million copies on just two platforms.

Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has built up an image of a strong, independent single mother whose hard work and determination took her from a trailer park, to Harvard, and then to the Texas Senate. However, a new report by Wayne Slater of The Dallas Morning News paints a much different picture than the one Davis and her campaign have circulated, and it isn't very flattering. The report, in fact, reveals that Davis glossed over and even misrepresented some aspects of her personal life. She explained the situation by telling the Morning News that "my language should be tighter" when recounting her past.
Last week, NBC's Today Show did a flattering piece on Davis by Maria Shriver called "On Her Own Two Feet" as part of a series of reports about women called "Doing It All." The story played up her personal struggles, including having to live in a trailer park. It then highlighted her rise to the Ft. Worth City Council and eventually, the Texas Senate. "I am the epitome of hard work and optimism," she told Shriver. However, the story left out some key points, as Slater points out in his report.
Among the revelations in the Dallas Morning News story:
- Davis only lived in a trailer home for a few months after her separation from her first husband. She soon moved into an apartment. She divorced her first husband when she was 21, not 19 as she has said.
- She was able to attend Harvard and earn a law degree not "on her own two feet," but only after she married Jeff Davis, a wealthy lawyer 13 years older than her, who paid for her final two years at TCU and her entire education at Harvard. He even cashed in his 401K and took out a loan to pay for her education.
- Wendy Davis married Jeff Davis at 24, so her "years of struggle" were confined to the three years after her divorce. They lived not in a trailer park, but in a historic home in an upscale Ft.. Worth neighborhood. Their daughter attended a private school.
- The day after Jeff Davis paid off her Harvard tuition bill, Wendy Davis left him and they later divorced.
- In their divorce filing, Jeff Davis accused Wendy Davis of adultery. Jeff was granted custody of Wendy's two girls, even though the oldest daughter was from Wendy's first marriage. Jeff raised the girls in Ft. Worth while Wendy went to Harvard. Wendy Davis paid child support to Jeff Davis after the divorce.
Wendy Davis refused to discuss the details of her divorce with the Dallas Morning News.

CSA Evaluation — Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)
The Safety Evaluation, which will be renamed Safety Fitness Determination (SFD), involves the FMCSA determining what (if any) interventions the FMCSA will take against the carrier or driver, based on the carrier's or driver's score when compared to predetermined thresholds.
Once a carrier's BASICs are scored, interventions are determined using two thresholds: Intervention threshold and Unfit (failed) threshold.
If a carrier is over the Intervention threshold for any BASIC, the carrier will be subject to interventions. The exact threshold will depend on the carrier's type of operation (passenger, hazardous materials, and regular property carrying).
If the carrier is over the Unfit threshold in any one of the "stand-alone BASICs" (Unsafe Driving and Fatigued Drivers) or any two of the other BASICs, the carrier may be subjected to the more severe interventions, such as a full compliance review. In the future, this portion of the determination system will include a determination of Unfit, requiring the carrier to make immediate corrections or cease operations.
Once fully operational, the three SFDs are intended to replace the present system of rating carriers following a Compliance Review. The three Safety Fitness Determinations are intended to be Continue to Operate (no interventions), Marginal (subject to one of the seven interventions), and Unfit (correct immediately or cease operations). The Unfit portion of CSA 2010 is dependant on rulemaking that has not yet been proposed.

Can I Avoid Paying Taxes on an IRA Withdrawal?
Original post by Jane Meggitt of Demand Media
To avoid paying taxes on an Individual Retirement Account withdrawal, choose a Roth IRA, if eligible. Traditional IRAs, while tax-deductible on federal income-tax returns if meeting certain requirements, are tax-deferred and withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. Roth IRA contributions, made with after-tax dollars, are tax-free at withdrawal if the account has been open a minimum of five years.
Roth IRAs
While contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible, this type of account has several advantages. While the minimum age to for account distributions is 59 1/2, unlike a traditional IRA there is no mandatory age at which distributions must be taken. Roth IRA investors do not ever have to take distributions. Also unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRA owners may continue to contribute to the accounts past the age of 70 1/2, as long as there is earned income. Because there are no mandatory distributions, Roth IRAs may be used for estate-planning purposes to leave assets tax-free to heirs.
Maximum Annual Contributions
For both traditional and Roth IRAs, the maximum annual contribution at the time of publication is $5,000 for taxpayers age 50 and under and $6,000 for those over the age of 50, assuming at least that much was earned in compensation. While anyone with earned income may contribute to a traditional IRA, even if the adjusted gross income (AGI) is too high to make a deduction, only those meeting certain AGI limits may contribute to Roth IRAs.
Adjusted Gross Income
In 2011, the AGI limit for a single filer to contribute the full amount to a Roth IRA is under $107,000. Between $107,000 and $122,000, partial contributions are allowed. For married couples filing jointly, the AGI limit for a full contribution is under $169,000. If the AGI is between $169,000 and less than $179,000, partial contributions are allowed.
Early Withdrawals
The IRS levies a 10 percent penalty on early Roth IRA withdrawals, and taxes withdrawals along with the penalty for withdrawals from traditional IRAs. In certain circumstances, the additional penalty is not charged. This includes withdrawals of up to $10,000 for expenses relating to a first home purchase; payments of medical expenses above 7.5 percent of the annual AGI; higher-education expenses for the account owner, spouse or children; and the total and complete disability of the account owner.

Vice President Joe Biden visited Ukraine on Monday in the hopes of negotiating some sort of agreement that would serve to ease tensions in the troubled region. Rather than tiptoe around the issue, however, the VP didn't mince words. "We've heard a lot from Russian officials in the past few days. But now it's time for Russia to stop talking and start acting," he said, adding, "We will not allow this to become an open ended process. Time is short in which to make progress."
This meeting comes shortly on the heels of continued violence in Slovyansk, a town close to the Eastern border of Ukraine that's been overtaken by pro-Russian militants. Violence in Ukraine has deteriorated rapidly over the last few weeks, as pro-Russian militants have began attacking and seizing various positions throughout the eastern half of the country. On Sunday, militants captured four journalists. Self-proclaimed mayor of Slovyansk, Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, proudly proclaimed, "We have captured some spies, infiltrators. Right now, we're working them over: they are being held in captivity." Three of the journalists were eventually released, but one - an activist named Irma Krat is still being detained by separatists.
Throughout the conflict, Russia has maintained that it has no direct contact with or authority over the pro-Russian forces currently laying siege to Ukraine. In their defense, no one can actually prove that's not the case, though there are some fairly strong rumblings that Russia has more irons in the Ukraine fire than they let on. Even if they don't have control of the militants, they're still unabashedly mustering troops on the eastern border of Ukraine, claiming the forces are there because of training exercises.
In his visit with Russian officials, Biden was straightforward. "No nation should threaten its neighbours by amassing troops along the border. We call on Russia to pull these forces," the VP proclaimed after a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk. It would seem the White House is reaching a point where direct action is the only recourse.
In Washington on Tuesday, Republican Senator John McCain echoed the call for a resolution to the crisis. His recommendation, however, called for a stronger show of support on the part of the United States. Calling the administration's actions up to this point "passive," McCain recommended supplying Ukrainian forces with a defensive arsenal.
"Vladimir Putin understands peace through strength and nothing else. And so far we've made a lot of threats and done almost nothing," Mr. McCain said. "There is no significant penalty anywhere on the horizon."
It would seem that McCain might have an unfortunate point. Clearly no one wants to see war erupt in Ukraine, but further economic sanctions have done little to deter Russian advances into the area. Even though the US has threatened more sanctions, Russia seems unworried as they claim they are more than prepared to deal with them. Further, the EU has been hesitant to be too aggressive with the country that controls one-fifth of the world's natural gas reserves.


text: Jul 4, 2014 23:20 Cavs hoping Irving's deal beginning of hot summer Cavs hoping Irving's deal beginning of hot summer The Associated Press July 1, 2014; 10:46 p.m. Comments CLEVELAND — Sitting on a stage last week alongside No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins and new coach David Blatt, General Manager David Griffin said he hoped this would be a monumental offseason for the Cavaliers. It's already been quite a summer. And LeBron James is still out there. Cleveland kept its momentum rolling early Tuesday by getting All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to agree to a new, five-year, $90 million contract extension. Irving's deal, completed with a handshake in New York with owner Dan Gilbert, cements a commitment with Cleveland that wasn't always so strong. "I'm here for the long haul Cleveland!!!! And I'm ecstatic!!" Irving wrote on his Twitter account shortly after the agreement was reached. "Super excited and blessed to be here and a part of something special." Kidd gone; Nets moving on EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jason Kidd's jersey hung on the wall just to the right of Billy King, a reminder that the Brooklyn Nets lost more than a coach. They lost a franchise icon. No time to worry about that now. The only focus for King is replacing him. Kidd was hired Tuesday morning by the Milwaukee Bucks, a day after they sent two second-round picks to the Nets as compensation. King and his assistants had dinner Monday night with former Memphis coach Lionel Hollins, and they planned to meet again Tuesday. King said he wants a coach in place "soon." AP: Meeks agrees to deal DETROIT — A person familiar with the situation said the Detroit Pistons have agreed to a $19.5 million, three-year deal with shooting guard Jodie Meeks. The person spoke Tuesday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because free agents can't sign contracts until the league's moratorium ends July 10. The 6-foot-4 Meeks averaged a career-high 15.7 points and scored a team-high 1,209 points last season for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has averaged 9.7 points over his five-year career. Milwaukee drafted Meeks in the second round in 2009. and traded him during his rookie season to Philadelphia. The Lakers signed him as a free agent in 2012 and exercised a team option last year to keep him on the roster for a second season. Bulls make pitch for Anthony CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls are making the hard sell for Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks superstar free agent arrived at a decked-out United Center on Tuesday in a limobus with coach Tom Thibodeau and two other people, a police SUV trailing behind. The Bulls believe they have a strong pitch and a simple selling point: Anthony can transform a playoff team into a championship contender. They believe uniting Anthony with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, who arrived earlier at the arena, would put them in position to contend for their first title since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led the way to two three-peats in the 1990s. Still, Anthony is a top target in NBA free agency and he is expected to visit other teams. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Over 400 competitors compete for BJJ glory at Peter Blackwell`s Scandinavian Open Jiu Jitsu tournament in Malmo, Sweden!
Over 400 competitors compete for BJJ glory at Peter Blackwell`s Scandinavian Open Jiu Jitsu tournament in Malmo, Sweden! Brasa Malmo black belt Peter Blackwell`s premier BJJ tournament broke new records on 30th October 2004, with over 400 competitors in attendance; all the major Scandinavian BJJ clubs were out in force including Team Kaisho, SBJJA, Brasa Malmo, GB Norway, Team Hilti and Team Yamasaki. The competition`s popularity stretched as far as Brazil, which led to the attendance of BJJ legend Leo Vieira who flew in for a five day visit, to referee and hold a number of seminars; other notables included Marcelo Yogui, Bobby Sundell and JP Tinoco who were also on refereeing duties. The event was held at the Heleneholms Hallen, Ystadsvagen, Malmo and due to the huge numbers of entrants, the white belt open weight was removed to ensure the event didn`t run into the early hours of Sunday morning; even with this omission, it was a long day all round, even with four mats on the go and a 10am start (my weight class didn`t start until 7pm!). The event enjoyed much needed sponsorship from Team Koral, Fighter mag, Gainomax recovery and Global Farksvarugrossisten in the shape of medals, t shirts and baskets and impressive trophies for the winners of the open weight section from Maximuscle. There was a large contingent of female fighters present and two names stood out from the rest, GB Norway`s Devi Ahuja and newly minted purple belt Camilla Gjelsten who dominated their belt divisions. The white belt division was brimming with new talent and new names all eager to impress the crowds and move up the rankings, with some neat technical matches and submissions to match. In the blue belt division, no one team dominated the winner`s spot on the podium and once again there were a lot of new names in these brackets, indicating a healthy growth in this division, as many of the top names from the last two years have left the competition circuit to pursue MMA matches in the Shooto organisation. The blue belt masters and the purple belts endured lengthy waits before competing, but this didn`t phase the fighters, who gave it their all and once again MMA veteran Arben Latifi dominated his purple belt -91K and the Open weight division and as soon as his matches were over, Latifi headed straight to work! Team Yamasaki purple Pilo Stylin was again in fine form and had the crowds screaming and shouting in his match ups and ended up taking the silver in his division. No brown belts fought on the day but after the excitement of the purples came some special black belt match ups; Leo Neves stepped up to Iran Mascarenhas (Mikenta Gym Denmark) and after a back and forth match, Mascarenhas took the match on a 10-0 points victory. Leo Neves went on to face Brasa Sao Paulo phenom Rob Drysdale, one of Leozinho`s star pupils; before you could get the camera in position, Drysdale sunk a choke in deep in under a minute and the fight was over in the blink of an eye. Rob was born in Utah, US and left to move to Sao Paulo when he was five and had a brief spell back in the US in 98, training with Nova Uniao. Drysdale now trains with Leozinho at Brasa and was awarded his black belt three months ago and finished third in the 2004 Mundials black belt division, not before winning the Mundials in 2002/3 as a purple and brown and winning the Brazilian championships twice and has over 90 titles to his credit. After the excitement of the black belts, the event drew to an end and all that was left was for the four matted areas to be packed away and a strange phenomenon occurred - the number of eager volunteers rapidly decreased to almost zero! Undeterred, Peter and a few others dug in and whipped the mats away in record time and at midnight I was back in my hotel, sipping an ice cold beer with Marcelo Yogui and others from GB Norway, before heading out to town. Sunday morning saw the clocks go back and an extra hour in bed was welcomed before heading back to Copenhagen airport, after final farewells to all the BJJ`ers at the hotel. Peter Blackwell and his back room support staff managed to pull off a record breaking competition and still managed to look calm and collected throughout the day and still had the energy to attend the seminars with Leozinho the day after the event. If anyone in the UK or Europe want to test their skills on a higher level, than this event is one the best testing grounds; no matter what weight or belt bracket, you`ll be guaranteed a tough test of your skills in a friendly atmosphere, as well as making new friends throughout the day. Don`t take my word, check it out for yourself next year; it`s only a two hour plane ride from the UK, hell you can`t get from Manchester to Birmingham in less than that! See you on the mats! Big thanks to Peter Blackwell for his help and generosity and for making the trip one to remember; respect to Bobby Sundell (you da man!), Marcelo Yogui, Leozinho, Tony Larsson, Pilo S and everyone else I met over the weekend.

Weekly Bargain Bin Blue Chips Update Q3 Week 11227 views 2012-09-16 22:56 Tags: blue chip bargain bin below book value
Blue Chip Stock = minimum market cap 1B + minimum 10/10 continuous years of dividends.
Market Price = book value + premium for future growth.
The Dow closed at 13,593.37 this week, up +2.15% from two weeks ago. The DJIA is now up +107.63% from its 5-year low of 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009.
I did not blog my lists of blue chip and emerging blue chip stocks last week because I was too busy working on my article for value idea contest entitled "Fundamental Analysis: Guangshen Railway (GSH)".Bargain Bin Blue Chips
Meanwhile, out of 261 stocks in my blue chip watchlist, only 3 are now trading at or below half of price-to-book value: Sharp Corp. (SHCAY), Societe Generale (SCGLY) and Barclays (BCS).
Gone from two weeks ago are Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (MTU), Sony Corp. (SNE) and Deutsche Bank (DB). These three companies now trade above 0.5 of price/book, though for how long who knows? Mr. Market willing... they will get cheaper again.
Near-bargain-bin Blue Chips
As far as my list of blue chip near-bargain bin'ners, 20 are trading below 0.8 price-to-book value: 1 from the Americas, 9 from Asia and 10 from Europe.
As the markets all went up the past two weeks, so did the book values of Cheung Kong (CHEUY), Hutchison Whampoa (HUWHY), Sun Hung Kai Properties (SUHJY) and Sims Metal Management (SMS). Of the Hong Kong real estate/industrial diversified conglomerates CHEUY, HUWHY, SUHJY, HLDCY and SWRAY, Swire Pacific (SWRAY) has a "hidden weapon" that makes it the most attractive stock for me: the right to manufacture, market and distribute the products of The Coca-Cola Company in Hong Kong, Taiwan, seven provinces in Mainland China and an area of the western United States. The others are massive conglomerates, diversified from real estate into properties management and other industrial and consumer goods and services. Of those, Hutchison Whampoa is the most attractive company to me simply because it is the most diversified. Their operations comprise six core businesses - ports and related services; property and hotels; retail; infrastructure; energy and telecom. I held off investing in this first-class stock because I wanted to put my money into a Chinese railway company...
My investment in Guangshen Railway is a very long-term one. I am prepared to DCA my way into GSH for as long as the stock remains under 0.8 P/B. While others are fearful of China as an investment horizon, I remain optimistic and realistic. China has the world largest population - 1.3B - along with the world's fastest growing economy. It is a creditor nation and a producer nation. These factors add up to a galaxy of stock market opportunities that I refuse to pass up. Of course, like everything else in life, there will be ups and downs.
Three companies missing from my European near bargain-bin'ners list since the past two weeks are Nokia (NOK), Allianz (AZSEY) and STMicroelectonics (STM).
Stupidly, I invested in Nokia when it was just under $5.00. My intention was to DCA my way down into the stock until it recovered from its current crisis. While my intention was good, my valuing was way off. I bought at three P/B levels: 0.85, 0.75 and 0.65 - approximately. Then, after I had already put enough into NOK, I told myself I would only buy once it fell below $1.50, which was something like half its tangible P/B. Well, it went to $1.69 and then rocketed up to to $3+.
This little investing drama has been a good lesson for me in "cheap enough". What I mean is, if a stock is cheap enough, and I already know it is cheap, or believe it is cheap, I must buy shares at that time rather than waiting for a rock-bottom price that may never materialize. As the old saying goes "one in the hand is worth two in the bush." The plus in all of this is that it will take awhile for the company to pull out of its slump, most likely affording the prospect of future low share prices at which to take advantage of. I am still positive on the fundamentals of Nokia as it is a world-class blue chip stock and Europe's best bet on the mobile phone industry, which is still in its growth phase.

Simon Cowell is showing his softer side after the birth of his baby boy, Eric. The TV talent critic spoke with the New York Daily News on Feb. 15 after he was photographed outside of Lenox Hill Hospital, saying the newborn is "doing brilliant." Cowell also added, "I feel like a daddy."
"The X Factor" creator and his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, 36, welcomed their 6-pound, 7-ounce son on Valentine's Day. Cowell announced the baby's birth to his Twitter followers, writing, "Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome." He later revealed that the baby was named after his late father.
The 54-year-old first time dad once revealed he didn't think he'd ever have children. In a 2012 interview with AOL Music, he said, "I do really, really like kids, because I can talk to them and listen to them. The problem has always been how much time you need to devote to bringing up kids and I've always dedicated all my life to work, and at 52, I've probably missed the opportunity."
In November, Cowell joked to People that he could envision a future competition between his child and Kelly Clarkson's. (The "American Idol" alum is expecting her first child, a girl, later this year.)
"[They'll be] competing against each other in a competition," he said. "I can see it now … I'm thinking 15 years ahead."
