The present invention relates generally to networks and, more particularly, to a method and system that allows users to securely order, and automatically re-order, products from merchants over a computer network, without revealing their true identities to those merchants or any other network users, and without compromising their financial information.
As used herein, the term computer includes any device or machine capable of accepting data, applying prescribed processes to the data, and supplying the results of the processes. By way of example, but not limitation, the term "computer" includes mainframe computers, servers, personal computers, laptops, personal digital assistants, portable phones, cell phones and calculators. The term "communications network" is also meant in a broad sense, and may include any suitable technology for information transmission, including electrical, electromagnetic and optical technologies. Such a communications network may link computers, e.g., a LAN or WAN. Although the invention is described with particular reference to an open network, such as the Internet, it may also be used in other networks, internets and intranets.
The Internet continues to increase in importance as a place for business, offering a wide variety of information and services to potential customers. However, as an open network, the Internet provides opportunities to legally and illegally collect and use vast amounts of information which people consider both private and personal; and increasing concerns about privacy, fraud and security online could inhibit the continued growth of business to consumer "electronic commerce."
Currently, shopping, browsing and other information-sharing activities on the Internet expose users to unwanted collection of their private and personal information, from which their identities, activities, behaviors and preferences can be ascertained. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that a user's financial information (e.g., credit card numbers, debit account numbers, etc.) may be stolen from merchant databases. The specter of this type of thievery is perceived as a fundamental threat to personal freedoms and a potential impediment to the growth of e-commerce.
The present inventor's U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/360,812, which is hereby incorporated by reference, discloses a system and method for anonymous Internet transactions. This private e-commerce system provides for private surfing, private payments, and private shipping. Users can shop at online web sites anonymously, select products for purchase, pay privately and securely, and ship the selected products to a location of their choice, without disclosing their personal and private information. In other cases, users may disclose their identity using a secure transaction system that prevents the disclosure of their real financial information (i.e., credit card account numbers). The means by which private payment mechanisms are provided may include a fraud reduction feature so that the financial information provided by a user for one purchase or transaction with one particular merchant cannot be reused for any other purchase or transaction even with the same merchant. This feature prevents the theft of the user's financial information and subsequent fraudulent use of that information by unauthorized third parties or thieves. For example, in the current state of e-commerce on the web, users who provide their real name, address, and credit card information when making a purchase at a web retailer site risk the loss of this private information due to theft from the web retailer databases. This problem can be solved by providing "single-use proxy financial information" from the user's bank or credit card company (that may be linked to a proxy identity in the case of a totally private transaction). Any attempt to reuse this "single-use proxy financial information" is foiled by the bank or credit card authorization process which rejects any such transaction.
Such single-use systems rely on the generation and use of unique transaction information provided to the user by his bank or credit card company, and the storage for future reference by the bank or credit card company of this information to ensure the information is used exactly once, for a single transaction executed by the user. This unique transaction information can be provided by a number of alternative means, and "communicated" to and by standard transacting and payment systems. For illustrative purposes the present invention is discussed in the context of credit card payment systems, but the principles discussed herein are equally applicable to other payment means (e.g., debit card payments, e-cash payments, etc.).
Single-use transaction information typically is a unique "proxy credit card number" generated when a user makes a transaction. In such an embodiment, a distinct number, linked to a real user account, is provided to the user for each transaction initiated. Such transactions are authorized by the issuing bank or credit card company, or the processor or acquirer who processes transactions on behalf of the bank or credit card issuer, when the transaction is submitted for authorization. In this case, the billing information associated with the financial transaction need not include the user's true billing address in order for the transaction to be properly authorized, as discussed below.
Alternatively, the proxy credit card number assigned to a user may be a fixed or static number (as if it were a typical credit card account with plastic and magnetic strips) that does not vary from transaction to transaction, but the bank or credit card issuer provides a distinct "single-use proxy billing address" for each transaction. A "proxy Address Verification String", used for Address Verification System (AVS) processing in the normal course of authorizing credit card transactions may also be used. Indeed, other fields of information used in the normal course of payment authorization schemes can be used to provide one-time use information to prevent fraud, and/or provide a fully private payment mechanism.
Although these schemes are useful in providing secure, safe, convenient and private payment mechanisms for users of e-commerce systems over computer and communications networks, they create a difficult problem for a particular class of transactions. Some transactions between users and merchants, retailers or service providers (hereinafter collectively referred to as merchants) are executed directly once by the user, but are then "automatically resubmitted" at later times by the merchant. These recurrent consumer transactions or payments (collectively "recurrent transactions") are performed on a routine basis by merchants and normally involve the submission of financial and personal information previously provided once by a user. This information is typically stored in merchant databases for future use. Examples of such transactions include monthly-billed service contracts and "split billing" among multiple fulfillment orders (in which a portion of the full transaction amount is billed piecemeal while portions of an order are available in inventory and are separately shipped). Since the very nature of a private payment scheme based upon "single-use proxy financial information" is to disallow the reuse of the proxy financial information first provided by the user's bank or credit card company, the second time a bank or credit card issuer receives and processes the single-use proxy financial information the transaction will be denied, payment will fail, and the service will be discontinued.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide both privacy and security in processing recurrent consumer transactions and to reduce or eliminate fraud stemming from the unauthorized use and re-use of proxy financial information.
A private and secure payment scheme is disclosed for processing recurrent consumer transactions, such as the purchase of a good or service, via a computer-based communications network, such as the Internet.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for securely processing recurrent consumer transactions in a communications network-based system. Merchant-specific proxy financial account information is provided to a user that is valid for transactions at a single merchant only. Such "merchant specific" proxy financial information only authorizes a single merchant, and no other merchant, to process payments using the "merchant specific" proxy financial information. The merchant-specific proxy financial account information is preferably stored in a database. A request for transaction approval is received from a merchant, the request including a merchant identifier and a user's proxy financial account information. The database is queried to determine if the proxy financial account is valid for the merchant seeking transaction approval. If the proxy financial account information is valid for the merchant seeking approval, the transaction is approved. However, if the proxy financial account information is not valid for the merchant seeking approval, the transaction is denied.
In a preferred embodiment, the proxy financial account information stored in the database includes a credit card account number. The credit card account number is linked in the database to a merchant identifier string or code. The process of determining if the proxy financial account information is valid for the merchant seeking transaction approval comprises comparing the merchant identifier submitted by the merchant to the merchant identifier stored in the database in association with the credit card account number.
In another preferred embodiment, the proxy financial account information may be a proxy billing address linked to a financial account; and the process of determining if the proxy financial account information is valid comprises comparing the merchant identifier submitted by the merchant to the merchant identifier stored in the database in association with the proxy billing address. Alternatively, the proxy billing address may also include the merchant identifier. A user may also be provided with proxy identity information (e.g., proxy name, proxy phone number, proxy e-mail, proxy shipping address) to ensure privacy.
In another preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a communications network-based system for securely processing recurrent consumer transactions. The system comprises a server computer including a processor configured to generate merchant-specific proxy financial account information for users, the proxy financial account information valid for transactions at a single merchant only; a database for storing the proxy financial account information; and a communications link for receiving requests for transaction approval from merchants and for transmitting responses to the requests to merchants.
The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
The present invention relates to the use of "one merchant only," or "merchant-specific," proxy financial information, in support of a recurrent consumer transaction. The merchant specific proxy financial information is reusable by a distinct merchant on a recurrent basis, but by no other merchant. A consumer transaction includes, but is not limited to, the purchase of, or payment for, a good or service provided by a merchant. Unless otherwise indicated expressly or by context, a "good" encompasses a deliverable, including a physical good, an electronic or virtual good and a service which provides a physical, electronic or virtual deliverable. The terms "user", "purchaser", "customer", consumer", "recipient" and "orderer" are used interchangeably unless indicated otherwise expressly or by context. Similarly, the terms "vendor", "retailer", "merchant" or "provider" or "sender" of a good are used interchangeably unless indicated otherwise expressly or by context.
Reference is now made to
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the user may select between a "one-time" transaction (e.g., single purchase) or a recurrent transaction (e.g., monthly service arrangement). In the case of a "one-time" transaction, the proxy financial account information generator 112 provides user 102 with "single-use" proxy financial account information, which is valid for a single transaction only. In the case of a recurrent transaction, the proxy financial account information generator 112 provides user 102 with merchant specific proxy financial account information, which, as discussed above, is valid for multiple transactions at a distinct merchant. User 102 may also be provided with proxy identity information, such as a proxy name, proxy telephone number, proxy e-mail address, and/or proxy shipping address, to ensure privacy.
In one embodiment, the "merchant specific" proxy financial account information is a proxy credit card account number valid for purchases at a single merchant only. This proxy account number is linked to a user's true account with the issuing bank or credit card company. The proxy financial account information is stored in the database linked to a code that specifically identifies the authorized merchant.
In another embodiment, the proxy financial account information is a proxy billing address and/or a proxy Address Verification System (AVS) string which is valid for transactions at a single merchant only. As known in the art, when the credit card is not physically present, e.g., mail-order, telephone or Internet transactions, a portion of the user's billing address (the AVS string) is extracted and compared to the billing address on file for the user with the issuing bank or credit card company. The AVS string typically consists of the leading numerals in the billing address field, excluding dashes, slashes, and periods, appearing before a blank space is reached, followed by the zip code. For example, for the following address,
87-20 136th Street
Osh Kosh, N.Y. 11218
the AVS string would be "8720, 11218". Typical credit card companies allow AVS strings to be as large as 20-24 characters in length. Credit card numbers, however, are restricted to 16 decimal digits constrained by various fields that identify the issuing bank, or are values dependent upon other portions of the string. This implies that the range of values available for proxy credit card numbers is significantly smaller than the range of values available for AVS strings. Providing a unique proxy credit card number for each transaction, especially long-lived transactions such as recurrent transactions, implies that these numbers will not be readily available to be reassigned or reused in different transactions, and among different users, and thus will be exhausted far faster than proxy AVS strings. A preferred embodiment of the invention, therefore, uses a static proxy credit card number assigned to a user (that does not reveal their real financial information), and an AVS string that varies for each private transaction or each recurrent transaction initiated by the user.
To make a purchase from the merchant, the user provides his or her proxy account information to the merchant 104. The merchant then seeks transaction authentication from the bank or credit card company that issued the proxy account information, or the processor/acquirer who processes transactions on behalf of the bank or credit card issuer, by sending a request for transaction approval, which includes the user's proxy account information and the merchant's identifier code, to server 108 via communications link 113. In the case of a recurrent transaction, processor 110 typically compares the merchant's identifier code submitted by the merchant to the identity of the merchant associated with the proxy account information. If there is a match (i.e., the requesting merchant is the distinct merchant authorized to charge the account), a transaction approval is transmitted to the merchant 104 via communications link 113. However, if there is no match (i.e., the requesting merchant is not authorized to charge the account), the transaction is denied.
Reference is now made to
If the user chooses a recurrent transaction at step 204, the user is provided with "merchant specific" proxy financial account information by his bank or credit card issuer in step 206 of
In step 208, the proxy financial account information is stored in a database. The authorized merchant's identity information is also stored in the database in linked relation to the proxy financial account information. This linking of the authorized merchant's identity to the user's proxy financial information can be implemented in a variety of ways known to one of ordinarily skill in the art of computer programming and system design. For example, the linking of merchant identity information with proxy financial information may be implemented by a "cross reference table" that associates specific proxy financial information such as a proxy credit card account number with specific merchant identifier codes. Since services like subscriptions may be purchased for long periods of time, the "linked" information advantageously is stored and available for authorization for a sufficient period of time so that users need not reinitiate private purchases.
In another preferred embodiment, a user is provided with a merchant-specific proxy billing address that generates an AVS string that includes as a portion a code that identifies the merchant to whom the user provides the proxy financial information. When the merchant submits this proxy financial information and the AVS string is decoded, the merchant code portion is checked with the identity of the submitting merchant to determine whether or not the authorized merchant submitted the transaction. In this embodiment, the cross reference table is not required since the linking of merchant identity information is performed by including it as a portion of the proxy financial information. It is also possible that a proxy credit card number may be assigned to a user that includes as a portion of the credit card number a code that identifies the authorized merchant. However, as previously noted, the range of values available for credit card numbers may not be sufficiently large enough to encode unique identifiers for merchants, and hence an "AVS string" embodiment provides a preferred solution to encode merchant identity information.
After a user has made a product or service selection and provided his proxy financial information to a merchant, the issuing bank or credit card company receives at step 210 a request for transaction approval from the merchant. As discussed above, the request for transaction approval typically includes a merchant identification code. In step 212, the user's bank or credit card company determines if the merchant submitting the request is authorized to submit charges. In the case where the authorized merchant's identity is linked in a database to the user's proxy financial information, the received proxy financial information is used to recover from the database the associated merchant identity; and the recovered identity is compared in step 214 with the identity of the merchant requesting authorization of the transaction. If the merchant's identity is embedded within the proxy financial account information (e.g., credit card number or AVS string), that identity is recovered from the financial account information and compared in step 214 with the identity of the merchant requesting authorization. If the merchant is authorized, the transaction is approved in step 216. However, if the merchant is not authorized to submit charges using the given proxy financial account information, the transaction is rejected.
It should be understood that the present invention, which can be implemented in a variety of ways via any of the private payment mechanisms and payment media previously disclosed in the prior art, provides both privacy (when users use proxy identity information that secures their true identity) and security from fraud (only one selected merchant can use the information and no other). Even if a user chooses to use his or her real identity when making a purchase using "merchant specific" proxy financial information, their financial information is secured from fraudulent misuse.
It may appear that fraud can still be perpetrated simply by repetitively making purchases using the user's "merchant specific" proxy financial information at the authorized merchant site. This is not the case for several reasons.
First, the proxy financial information available to one merchant includes the same billing and shipping information initially created by the user at the time of the first transaction with the merchant. Thus, a thief or third party who steals the proxy financial information could only use this information with the same merchant who had the copy of the user's address information (either proxy or real) initially provided with the proxy financial information. Such thieves would not be able to reap the rewards of their theft because the purchased products or services would be directed to the user. Thus, since there is no reward, it would make no sense for thieves to conduct such frauds.
For example, in the case where proxy address information was used by a legitimate user to prepay for tolls using the EZ-PASS™ service, a thief would have to steal the user's EZ-PASS™ tag on the windshield of his or her car in order to benefit from any unauthorized use of the anonymous user's financial information. However, since the user is anonymous to the thief, the thief would not know where to go to steal the tag! In another setting of private e-commerce whereby a user provides proxy identity information, the thief would not be able to intercept goods procured through fraud because the thief would not know the electronic identity (email, IP address, etc.) of the anonymous user whose financial information has been stolen.
Furthermore, in the case where a user provides "merchant specific" proxy financial information with either their real identity and real address information, or proxy identity information and proxy financial information, in a secured payment system, any attempt by a thief to change the anonymous user's shipping information to perpetrate the interception would require the thief to disclose his or her own whereabouts to redirect the shipment. Alternatively, such attempts at redirection would be thwarted by typical merchant systems that first seek authorization from a user for change of address information. Such authorization to change any user-supplied identity information is typically secured by PIN's and passwords that are initially created by the user (or alternatively, this information may be assigned by the merchant) who initiated the transaction, and that would otherwise not be known to the thief. An example of this type of secured merchant payment system is Amazon.com's "One Click"™ payment feature.
Finally, banks typically use early fraud warning systems that measure the "volume" and "velocity" of transactions submitted by merchants to customer's accounts. If stolen proxy financial information were used by a thief at a single merchant site, the bank or credit card issuer would very likely deny a large volume of transactions that are too frequently submitted by the merchant. Furthermore, the user may be asked to specify the limits on the amount of the transaction so that recurrently supplied bills (e.g., monthly), or the component bills in the case of split orders, are bounded automatically by the issuing bank during the authorization process by some amount agreed upon by the merchant and user when the transaction is initiated. This information as well may be readily linked with the proxy financial information and used during the bank's authorization process when receiving a request for authorization of a recurrent transaction. The risk of fraudulent transactions using the present invention is therefore significantly reduced if not entirely eliminated.
Returning to step 204, in order to further reduce the risk of fraud, at the time the user initiates a private transaction (at the time of check out at a web site), using for example a wallet, or some other means or device for managing private transactions, the user is asked to indicate whether the transaction is for a single one time purchase of a good or service, or instead is a recurrent transaction. If the user chooses a single transaction at step 204, the user is provided with "single use" proxy financial account information in step 220 of
It should be evident to anyone ordinarily skilled in the state of the art that the present invention can be readily implemented by various private transaction means and for a wide variety of payment media, methods and services. Furthermore, it is clear that the method provides for end-to-end private e-commerce transactions in the most general case of service contracts, and purchases of digital media including recurrent transactions of the sort typical of subscription or information services.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that numerous variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be clearly understood that the embodiments of the invention described above are not intended as limitations on the scope of the invention, which is defined only by the following claims.

Throughout the history of the NBA, every franchise has seen some of the best players don its jersey and represent the team oh so well. Many fans dream that all of those players could be on the court, in their prime, at the same time for their team.
Well, thanks to ESPN, that's now possible.
Sort of.
Sans going all Doc Brown on us, the ESPN brass has built "The Greatest Team of All-Time" Machine, which allows fans to vote on the best starting fives for each franchise.
Needless to say, a mental image of some of these teams would make staunch NBA followers go from six to noon.
However, now that the fans have voted for each team's best ballers of all-time, it's time to see which starting fives are truly the best. Who would win an NBA Title if these rosters hit the hardwood?
Let's find out.

...of your Marchies are potty trained or are in the process??
How many...
Not even close to being "potty trained" but my little guy will say "I poo poo" after he's gone. Too little, too late though!
Mama to two beautiful little boys born 3-5-11 and 9-17-13!
Mr&Mrs 5/2007
haha, no. My older son PT at 2.5, which was on the early end compared to the other kids in his daycare. I'm thinking we'll evaluate Marchie's readiness when the weather is nice and we can put him in undies w/ no pants. So probably next May or June. :-)
I'm in no hurry. We use cloth diapers, so there's no expense at this point other than a couple loads of laundry every week.
Mama to Z (7/09) and S (3/11)
FT working, CDing, EBFing, ERFing... what other initials am I missing?
Why doesn't BabyCenter have a "like" button?
He has gone once on the potty. He just sits on it any other time, sometimes he likes to read magazines on it like daddy. haha. He's been telling me lately when he needs to be changed though.
Elizabeth (25) Samuel (32) Married 8/26/12
Gavin (5) 3 Furbabies Lady (6) Kiera (8) and Arya (2)
We are potty trained! A few accidents every couple of days if he's too busy playing or something. We did the same thing we did with ODS: used the flip down, smaller seat on the regular toilet and started setting him on it at around 17 months. He didn't like at first so I bought some Apple Jacks and would let him eat those only when he was sitting on the toilet. (Junk cereals are otherwise MIA in our house so it was something exciting to him) Also sat in front of him and read books alot with him sitting there which helped with him getting relaxed and more positivie associations with the toilet. When he did go, we'd make a big deal about it and give him a couple m&m's. (again not alot of candy around here so that was also a big incentive for him)
Then at 18 months, once he knew what we wanted him to do we started letting him run around without a diaper most of the day, We had alot of accidents, but nobody likes the sensation of pee splattering on their feet or hearing that they won't be getting m&m's because they pooped on the floor, so they slowly became less frequent, but it was still always the adult initiating the bathroom breaks each time. Just when I thought my older son must have been just a freak of nature and that YDS just wasn't getting it - BAM he started telling us BEFORE he had to go instead of midstream or after he had left a trail of turds in the kitchen. We're on diapers for naps and bedtime only - even had a couple of outings now with no accidents - although I do have to ask him a lot if he has to go when we're out and about.
A lot of people say to wait till they show that they're ready - but I just don't understand that. I never forced it down my kids throats or made it unpleasant, and it's a hell of a lot easier to train an 18 month old when they're at the age where they thrive on approval, than when they're 2.5 and at the age where all they want to do is the exact opposite of what you ask. I think the longer they're in diapers, the more habitual it has become and therefore harder to break.
Just my opinion for anyone who cares, and my technique for anyone who wants to give it a try.
WTF Mama to
Rowan Cottonwood: 10/16/08 & Chai Linden: 3/16/11
Potty trained for 3 months now! Still working on night time though, but stays dry during the day.
We did "Elimination Communication" part time until 17 months old, so he was all ready able to communicate when he needed to go to the bathroom and comfortable with using the toilet (we never used a baby potty or seat cover) then at 17 months we went completely diaper free, no turning back. Had accidents 1-2 times a day for the first few weeks, and it has gradually improved to maybe having an accident once every few weeks (usually my fault for not taking him when he tells me...trying to get him to work on bladder control when we are in the car, or in the middle of dinner, etc).
Our sign for potty is hitting his bottom, which he did for the few few months, and has only recently added a verbal communication to it as well. His word for potty right now sounds like "ba - pa"
We use stickers for rewards, which is also a great way to teach new vocab words. I bought a set of Melissa and Doug themed stickers, so each new potty chart has a theme to it.
I would highly recommend elimination communication - it is not as time consuming as you may think! Especially when you just do it part time like I did. He was always in a diaper, but was able to use the potty on a regular basis - it was just a part of life - which made the final switch to potty-only not such a big transition.
She pretty much initiated herself at about 16 months old. She'd been using the potty regularly after being introduced at 8 months, then started picking up her potty seat, putting it on the toilet and saying 'wees'.
Now she says 'I need potty again'. She's so good.
We're in the process...Marchie initiated an interest when I put the potty out in her bathroom. I just began asking if she needed to go when I got her up in the morning, before nap, after nap, late afternoon and before bath (it amounts to every 3 hours or so)...She would go every time and began keeping diapers dry. Now, she comes to tell me when she wants to go, so I think she's made the connection of when she's ready...I'm not pushing anything, just trying to keep a consistent schedule with it and see how she does!
Marchie is potty trained during the days. Still wears a diaper for nap time and bedtime. Wears only underwear and rarely has an accident during the day and outings. We keep a little potty in the trunk of the car and mostly use that if we are out as opposed to using dirty public bathrooms!

Skip to comments.Op-Ed: Those Self Destructive American Apologies
Posted on 09/20/2012 9:25:55 AM PDT by justlittleoleme
American embassies are burning across the Middle East and further afield. Jihadist Islam bites the hand which helped it during the revolutions. Embracing the idea that this mass murderous frenzy is due to a negligible film on Muhammad on the web is pathetic. It is never only about cartoons, videos, films, or statements.
It is self-destructive that Hillary Clinton rather than blasting as expected from a Foreign Minister after the loss of her ambassador, briefly labeled the moronic film as reprehensible, as if this implied violent consequences.
It is despicable that Obama, the appointed advocate of freedoms of the free world, did not seize the opportunity to explain that in the West freedom of speech extends to all topics. He could have mentioned that back in 1940 the Supreme Court acquitted a certain Newton Cantwell and his two sons accused of distributing offensive anti-Catholic literature that incited violent reactions
Obama will undergo the same fate. He will be blamed one day, much more severely because the danger is greater, assaulting the free world from every direction. He wanted to be the sorcerer's apprentice of the Arab revolutions, like Carter was of the Khomeinist Revolution
How can Obama still ignore it? It is Islam's promise to bend the world to subjugation. The experts' attempt to describe Al Qaeda as a declining organization is pathetic. It does not matter that Al Qaeda is scattered, divided, or impoverished.
Obama however does not want to acknowledge there is a jihadist danger, America pandered to the idea that it is a minor event, resulting from fanaticism and that an idiot who posts a film is to be blamed, the murderers therefore are somehow right.

Comments Thread For: Former British Featherweight Richard Evatt Dead at 38
Richard Evatt, a former British boxer who largely fought at featherweight and junior lightweight, has died at 38 after collapsing Monday inside a homeless shelter, according to the Coventry Telegraph.
Police have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of murdering Evatt, the report said.
Evatt fought as a pro from 1995 to 2002, a career that included a 1999 fight with Junior Jones in which Evatt was ahead on the scorecards before being stopped in the 11th round, according to BoxRec.com.

I mean, just to be safe. I didn't intend to sleep all night. I just pulled over. Have I broken any laws? No, ma'am. Then I'm free to go? Is anything wrong? Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong? Frankly, yes. Please, I'd like to go. Well, is there? Is there what? I've told you there's nothing wrong, except I'm in a hurry and you're taking up my time. Now, just a moment. [Starts Motor] Turn your motor off, please. [Turns Motor Off] May I see your license?

My name is Nibeyu but most people call me Neb. I grew up in Ft.Washington, MD and moved to Virginia for high school in 2003. I have always been and still am a fan of Maryland sports in general whether its collegiate or professional. My first greatest MD sports memory was when an NFL team arrived in the state of Maryland named the Ravens and they went on too win the Super Bowl six years later.
That 2000-2001 season where the Ravens defense totally dominated the NFL was something special too watch and will always be my favorite NFL season. My second and last best MD sports memories were the Maryland Terrapins Men's Basketball team winning it all in 2002 as well as the women's team winning the national title in 2006.
In 2002 I also managed too some how pick the Men's Terps B-Ball team too win it all in my tourney back in high school. Now a day's I take classes at a community college and I am working on graduating so I can move on too a good journalism school. I would love too be a sport's writer some day and its a career I aspire too take on, hopefully I can get my foot in the door.

Perfect overnight stop over place.
lovely location
Hotel staff were very pleasant.
Room was comfortable but bit dark. Wifi did not work in the room but was offerred an alternative to go into dining room if needed. Breakfast was really good. Added bonus was the parking which i didn't appreciate until i arrived and saw what a premium space was in Shaldon. On the whole, a good experience.

A super place to stay in Shaldon.
We stayed for a couple of nights to take some nostalgic walks around the area of my husband's youth.
Potters Mooring was a superb base, very comfortable with excellent breakfasts and lovely hosts. The weather was fantastic and it was great to take the ferry across to Teignmouth and leave the car behind. Would recommend The London Inn and The Ferry Boat Inn for evening meals especially for their fish dishes.

Slightly old-fashioned
This B & B enjoys a stunning location on a quintessentially English village green, with a lovely pub next door.
it is a family business and they were all really kind and attentive. I feel what I am about to say next might be a bit mean as my comments are purely subjective and we all have different tastes, but the cottage we stayed in seemed to be in a bit of a time warp, with overly-fussy furnishings and ornaments, and a huge amount of space wasted on vast wardrobes, whilst the bathroom was tiny. There was an empty TV bracket on the bedroom wall, which seemed a bit mean, and the downstairs sofa had a tatty throw on it, which was slightly offensive - guests paying this kind of money are not normally dirty. It could so easily have been fabulous, and at £120 for the night I was hoping to be 'wowed'. I would stay here again but would try another room or aim to source a cheaper price.

Fantastic Value for Money
I booked the room at Potters Mooring as I was working in the area.
The hotel is tucked away in a very pretty area and the parking on the forecourt was snug as the hotel was full. I hadn't expected too much as I was only paying £45 for a room and breakfast but what a surprise I had. There was a warm welcome and a lovely clean and spacious room and en-suite bathroom. There was also the special touch of providing fresh milk for tea in the room. Luckily, there is a great pub next door serving beautiful food and, as a woman travelling alone, it was great not having to walk strange streets at night to find somewhere to eat and to find my way back to the hotel afterwards. I enjoyed a really comfortable night's sleep and got down to breakfast at 8 the next morning. Again, service was warm and friendly and the breakfast was wonderful. I would definitely stay here again next time I am working in this area and would recommend the hotel to anyone.

Men's wages before and after long-term unemployment spells
September 06, 2013
Men experiencing their first long-term unemployment spell—a spell lasting 27 weeks or longer—saw a sharp decrease in their average hourly wage in the calendar year before that long-term unemployment spell. In the year the first long-term unemployment spell started, the average hourly wage was about 13 percent lower (adjusted for inflation) than the average hourly wage 2 years before the first long-term spell.
|Hourly wage index
4 years before
3 years before
2 years before
1 year before
year of onset of spell
1 year after
2 years after
3 years after
4 years after
In the first calendar year after onset of the first long-term unemployment spell, real average hourly wages continued to fall by about 4 percent. Average hourly wages then trended back up in the following years. However, real average hourly wages were about 7 percent lower 4 years after the onset of the long-term unemployment spell than they were 4 years before the long-term spell.
In contrast, men who did not experience a long-term unemployment spell had very significant wage growth over time. For example, over the 8-year period from 1990 to 1998, men who never had a long-term unemployment spell experienced a 41-percent increase in their real hourly wages, on average.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys program. To learn more, see "Long-term unemployment over men's careers," (HTML) (PDF), by Donna S. Rothstein in Beyond the Numbers, August 2013. The article uses the employment history of men in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). The men in the NLSY79 were born in the years 1957 to 1964. The analysis covers the mid-1980s through 2009, focusing on men's employment histories from their mid-20s, after they had become integrated into the labor market, until their middle to late 40s and early 50s.

Palestinian woman shot dead by Israeli security forces
A Palestinian woman who allegedly tried to stab a soldier was shot dead by Israeli security forces on Saturday, Israel's military has said.
No Israelis were injured in the attack, which happened in the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
"An assailant drew a knife and attempted to stab a soldier," the army said in a statement. "Responding to the attack, forces fired at the perpetrator, resulting in her death."
The army said the incident occurred near Hebron's shared religious site known to Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs and to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque, a site of frequent friction between the sides.
Since the start of October, 27 Israelis have been killed during a series of stabbings, shootings and car-rammings. According to Israeli authorities, at least 158 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the same period.

Palestinian peace negotiator arrested for spying
Palestinian officials say they have arrested a member of their peace negotiating department for spying for Israel.
The man, whose name was not released, is part of the management staff in the umbrella Palestinian Liberation Organisation's (PLO) negotiations department and is accused of "collaborating with Israel", a security official told Reuters news agency.
Another official said the suspect had been arrested two weeks ago.
The development likely to deepen distrust between the sides at a time of deadlocked diplomacy and simmering street violence.
Israeli officials did not immediately respond.
Lawyer: Tel Aviv gunman was 'mentally unstable'
A lawyer who says he is the relative of a man alleged to be responsible for a fatal shooting in Tel Aviv has told reporters the gunman is mentally unstable rather than politically militant.
Speaking to Channel 2, Arab-Israeli lawyer Sami Melhem said he had previously represented the suspect in a case where he was jailed for attempting to steal a firearm from an Israeli soldier.
Melhem said the 28-year-old suspect shooter was "not sane, to the best of my knowledge since I represented him he has received treatment.
"He is receiving treatment. Recently he has been going around in the street as an insane person."
Asked if the suspect had radical religious tendencies, Melhem said: "I do not know."
A court order is reportedly banning Israeli media from reporting some aspects of the ongoing investigation, including releasing the name of the suspect.
Tel Aviv shooting: Court places 'gag order on media'
A Magistrate's Court in Tel Aviv has issued a media "gag order" to prohibit the press from reporting on parts of the investigation into a fatal shooting in the Israeli city, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Video shows Tel Aviv gunman open fire
A second video of the Tel Aviv gunman has emerged, showing him pulling a gun out of bag while he stands in a shop, and then opening fire in the street.
The video was posted on Twitter by Israel Breaking.

Israeli police hunt for Tel Aviv attacker
Israeli police are searching buildings in central Tel Aviv close to the scene of the shooting and examining CCTV footage in order to track down a gunman who killed two people and wounded five others.
Police units examining CCTV footage of shooting in tel aviv. Building and apartments still being searched. All injured taken to hospital.
Nati Shakked, the owner of the Simta bar on Dizengoff Street, which was hit by gunfire in the attack, said the assailant had waited on a bench outside before taking a machine-gun out of a bag and "shooting in every direction".
Two killed and five injured after shooting at Israel pub
Two people were killed and five others injured when an armed attacker fired shots at a pub in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The Israeli police's foreign press spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld, said a manhunt was now underway in the city.
Police units concentrating on searching buildings in the area were the shooting incident took place. 2 people confirmed dead. 5 injured.
The Israel Breaking Twitter account posted what appeared to be CCTV footage of the moment a suspect opened fire.
People in a restaurant can be seen fleeing and taking shelter as shots are fired.

Israel reduces former PM's jail sentence to 18 months
Israel's Supreme Court has reduced former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's prison sentence to 18 months, down from six years, after partly overturning a bribery conviction from last year.
Olmert, who served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2009, will begin his sentence on February 15 - making him Israel's first former head of government to be imprisoned.
The charges relate to his term as Mayor of Jerusalem from 1992 to 2003, and a large real estate deal in the city.

Half Dome in Yosemite National Park is a California icon
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK -- Some people say Half Dome looks like a football helmet or a broken bowling ball. I always saw a dented ranger's hat. Until this trip.
When I visited Yosemite with a photographer in late May, we mostly chased Half Dome variations. Though we didn't summit the big rock, we saw it from so many directions and elevations that I thought of it as the third member of our party.
For a proper introduction, a traveler heads from the park's south entrance to the Tunnel View turnout. You may find yourself in a crowd -- on a busy day, 5,000 people pause here -- but you'll spot Half Dome, bracketed by El Capitan to the left, Cathedral Rocks and Bridalveil Fall to the right. And if crowds are thin, you may think: No view can match this. But just up the road, plenty can.
Bob Roney, author of "The Road Guide to Yosemite" and a ranger for 40-plus years, met us at Tunnel View to explain how a work crew in the early 1930s spent months creating a shortcut for travelers.
Naturally, it didn't take long after the tunnel's 1933 opening for Ansel Adams to turn up with his tripod. Before long, Tunnel View was the iconic Yosemite view. It scarcely changed for 75 years, until a 2008 upgrade that smoothed traffic flow and opened up the view by cutting down a bunch of trees.
Still, Roney reminded us, no panorama is permanent, especially in a park that records dozens of rockfalls every year. "Sure as time moves forward," Roney said, "this view will be wrecked by some other geologic event," perhaps transformed "into something even more beautiful."
And so on to Mirror Lake, where the still water gives you a perfect reflection of shapely Mt. Watkins to the north. The view is so mesmerizing, in fact, that you might not realize the stone wall just east of you is the base of Half Dome.
At Olmsted Point, along Tioga Road, we found a rock scape scoured by ancient ice and peppered with "erratics," stray boulders nudged into strange places by glacial advances. From there, Half Dome is a far-off rounded lump that sometimes glows red at sunset. For us, it turned a faint orange.
Another day, we drove to Glacier Point, which is only 7,214 feet above sea level but feels like the roof of the Earth, with jaw-dropping views of the valley. From there you seem to be even with Half Dome (though you're really 1,600 feet below it).
It got quieter when the sun dipped and set the dome aglow. Then the moon and stars took over. We stayed for hours.
But that's not the view that destroyed my ranger's-hat idea of Half Dome. It was Washburn Point, with its different angle that shows Half Dome isn't a dome at all, that did it.
Seeing its unrounded backside is like being told that Humphrey Bogart never said, "Play it again, Sam" in "Casablanca." Part of you doesn't want to know. And the other part figures that's a good reason to look again.

Beyonce lives up to hype with fierce Super Bowl halftime set

The widely publicized press conference, the Destiny's Child reunion rumors, the bold promise of live singing after that lip-synching scandal at Barack Obama's inauguration.

be a stopgap measure to meet this need while a new aircraft could be designed.
As a result, the AH-1 had many parts in common with the UH-1 Huey. However,
the Cobra was such a success that it is still in use today and the proposed
replacement, the AH-56 Commanche, was canceled. The AH-1W is a navalized twin

Giving Up the Ghost (Paperback)Hilary Mantel
Paperback Published: 07/06/2004
- 10+ in stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
From the double Man Booker Prize-winning author of 'Wolf Hall', a wry, shocking and beautiful memoir of childhood, ghosts, hauntings, illness and family. 'Giving up the Ghost' is award-winning novelist Hilary Mantel's uniquely unusual five-part autobiography. Opening in 1995 with 'A Second Home', Mantel describes the death of her stepfather which leaves her deeply troubled by the unresolved events of her childhood. In 'Now Geoffrey Don't Torment Her' Mantel takes the reader into the muffled consciousness of her early childhood, culminating in the birth of a younger brother and the strange candlelight ceremony of her mother's 'churching'. In 'Smile', an account of teenage perplexity, Mantel describes a household where the keeping of secrets has become a way of life. Finally, at the memoir's conclusion, Mantel explains how through a series of medical misunderstandings and neglect she came to be childless and how the ghosts of the unborn like chances missed or pages unturned, have come to haunt her life as a writer.
