JED S. RAKOFF, United States District Judge.
Plaintiffs Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Licensing GP (together, " Microsoft" ) bring this action against defendant Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. (" Samsung" ) for breach of contract and declaratory judgment. At issue are two related agreements, the Confidential Patent License Agreement (" PLA" ), which provides for cross-licensing of both companies' patent portfolios, and the Confidential Business Collaboration Agreement (" BCA" ), which provides that Samsung will develop and market devices that use Microsoft software in exchange for credits against royalties it owes under the PLA. Both agreements provide for arbitration of certain types of disputes under the International Chamber of Commerce (" ICC" ) Rules. On October 10, 2014, Samsung filed a motion to compel arbitration and to stay the case pending the conclusion of the arbitration. Following full briefing and oral argument, the Court, on November 13, 2014, issued a " bottom line" order denying Samsung's motion. This Opinion explains the reasons for that ruling.
The two agreements were executed concurrently on or about September 28, 2011, and have an effective date of July 1, 2011. The PLA provides that each party grants to the other party and its subsidiaries, including subsidiaries and business units acquired after the effective date, a worldwide license to its patent portfolio for use in certain products for a term of seven years. PLA § § 3.1-3.2. The licensed products include " Android" -based smartphones and tablets, of which Samsung is the world's largest producer, and which Microsoft alleges infringe its patents. See Amended Complaint dated Oct. 3, 2014 (" Amended Compl." ) ¶ 7. For Fiscal Year 1, Samsung is to pay Microsoft a predetermined lump sum. PLA § 4.1. For Fiscal Years 2 through 7, Samsung owes Microsoft a royalty based on the number of devices distributed during that fiscal year. Id. § 4.2.2. Samsung, in turn, is entitled to deduct certain license fee credits from the total royalties due as consideration for Microsoft's use of its patents. Id. § 4.2.1.
Page 527
The PLA further gives Microsoft the right to audit Samsung's books and records on a periodic basis. Id. § 4.2.4. If Samsung " does not agree with the auditor's results or the scope of the audit," then the parties must go through a good faith discussion process. Id. § 4.2.5. If, after that process, " the parties are then still unable to resolve any disputes arising out of an audit per this Section 4," they agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration under the ICC Rules in Tokyo, Japan. Id. Finally, the parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Southern District of New York, or, if no federal jurisdiction exists, in New York state court in Manhattan " [w]ith respect to all civil actions or other legal or equitable proceedings directly arising between the Parties or any of their Subsidiaries under this Agreement." Id. § 7.6.
The second agreement, the BCA, provides that, for Fiscal Years 2 through 7, Microsoft will give Samsung credits to be applied against the royalties it owes under the PLA in exchange for Samsung's efforts to develop and market Samsung devices that use Microsoft Windows software and Microsoft search services. The first type of credits are " Collaboration Credits," which Samsung may earn by creating and executing plans for the development and marketing of Windows phones and tablets, and for making Windows search services available on Samsung devices. BCA § 3.1.1 & Exs. B-D. The second type of credits are " Success Credits," which Samsung may earn by increasing the percentage of Windows devices in its total product mix. Id. § 3.1.2 & Ex. E. Samsung is obligated to invest any success credits earned in a given fiscal year in qualified marketing expenses for the following fiscal year. Id. If its marketing expenses are less than the success credits from the previous year, then Samsung must return the balance to Microsoft (" Success Credit Recapture" ). Id. Finally, if Microsoft stops offering Windows phone software, then Samsung will be entitled to a fixed credit per phone in lieu of any success credits (" WP Termination Credits" ). Id. § 8.3.
The BCA sets forth a consolidated reporting and invoicing process for both the PLA and the BCA. Within sixty days after the end of each fiscal year, Samsung is to submit a " Royalty and Credit Calculation Report" detailing the number of smartphones and tablets distributed during that year, Samsung's qualified marketing expenses, and Samsung's calculation of any Success Credits, Success Credit Recapture, or WP Termination Credits. Id. § 3.1.4. As under the PLA, Microsoft has the right to audit Samsung's books and records. Id. § 3.1.5. After receiving the Royalty and Credit Calculation Report, Microsoft prepares a single " Annual Invoice" calculating royalties due and credits earned under both agreements and determining the net amount owed by Samsung. Id. § 3.2.1. Samsung then has thirty days to pay the amount due under the invoice, with late payments carrying an interest rate of 5%. Id. § § 3.2.2-3.2.3.
Like the PLA, the BCA provides for resolution of certain types of disputes through a good faith discussion process followed by binding arbitration under the ICC Rules. The BCA's arbitration provision applies to " any dispute between the parties with respect to any Royalty and Credit Calculation Report, the calculation of any Reinvestment Credits under Section 3.1.4, the calculation of any Success Credit Recapture, the calculation of any WP Termination Credits, the scope or results of any audit under Section 3.1.5 or any Annual Invoice." Id. § 3.3.1-3.3.2. In addition, the BCA provides that the parties consent to jurisdiction and venue in the Southern District of New York, or, alternatively, in New York state court in Manhattan,
Page 528
" [w]ith respect to all civil actions or other legal or equitable proceedings directly arising between the parties or any of their Subsidiaries under this Agreement (other than those covered under Section 3.3)." Id. § 9.5.
Finally, the BCA prohibits assignment of the agreement or any rights or obligations thereunder. Id. § 9.7. Where the assignment is to a competitor of the other party, " assignment" is defined to include " a merger of a party with a third party, whether or not the party to this Agreement is the surviving entity." Id. If one party effects a prohibited assignment, then the other party has the right to terminate the agreement immediately upon written notice. Id. Furthermore, if Samsung terminates the BCA for a breach of the anti-assignment clause, then it also has the right to terminate the PLA by providing Microsoft with written notice as part of, or concurrently with, its notice terminating the BCA. Id. § 8.5.
The present dispute arises from Microsoft's acquisition of certain business units of Nokia Corporation, a Samsung competitor. According to the Amended Complaint, Samsung made the royalty payment for Fiscal Year 1 as required. Amended Compl. ¶ 10. For Fiscal Year 2, Samsung submitted its Royalty and Credit Calculation Report on August 29, 2013, reporting that it owed over $1 billion in royalties. Id. Microsoft did not dispute the report. Id. On September 3, 2013, however, Microsoft announced its intention to acquire Nokia's Devices & Services business (the " Nokia Acquisition" ). Id. ¶ 11. After that announcement, Samsung claimed that the planned acquisition would breach the PLA and BCA in various ways, including by breaching the anti-assignment clause, and refused to make the Fiscal Year 2 royalty payment, which was due on October 11, 2013. Id. ¶ 12. Samsung eventually made the royalty payment on November 29, 2013, with a reservation of its rights and legal positions, but refused to pay interest for the period of delinquency, which Microsoft claims amounts to almost $7 million. Id. ¶ 13.
Microsoft commenced this suit on August 1, 2014, asserting two causes of action. First, it claims that Samsung is liable for breach of contract for failing to pay the nearly $7 million in interest owed for its late payment of the Fiscal Year 2 royalties. Id. ¶ ¶ 52-58. Second, it requests declaratory judgment that (1) the entities acquired in the Nokia Acquisition are covered by the patent licenses granted under the PLA, (2) the Nokia Acquisition does not give Samsung any basis to assert patent infringement claims against Microsoft, (3) the Nokia Acquisition does not violate the anti-assignment provisions of the PLA or the BCA, (4) the Nokia Acquisition does not give Samsung the right to terminate or modify the PLA, (5) the PLA remains in effect following the Nokia Acquisition and Samsung remains obligated to make all royalty payments due thereunder, and (6) the PLA is governed first by the federal laws of the United States to the extent federal subject matter exists, and second by the laws of the state of New York. Id. ¶ ¶ 59-62. Samsung moves to compel arbitration of all of Microsoft's claims pursuant to Section 3.3 of the BCA and to stay the case pending the conclusion of the arbitration.
Ultimately, whether Samsung can force Microsoft to arbitrate depends on whether their dispute comes within the scope of the arbitration agreements, i.e., whether it is arbitrable. Before the Court can reach this question, however, it must resolve the antecedent question, namely, who decides whether the dispute is arbitrable, the Court or the arbitrators. As arbitration is a creature of contract, the
Page 529
answer depends on what the parties agreed. See First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan, 514 U.S. 938, 943, 115 S.Ct. 1920, 131 L.Ed.2d 985 (1995). As with any other issue, a party can be forced to arbitrate the issue of arbitrability only if it has specifically agreed to do so. Id. at 945. Accordingly, questions of arbitrability are ordinarily for judicial determination, unless there is " clear and unmistakable evidence" that the parties intended to submit them to the arbitrators. PaineWebber Inc. v. Bybyk, 81 F.3d 1193, 1198-99 (2d Cir. 1996). If the contract is silent with respect to arbitration of arbitrability, or if it is ambiguous, then the Court must decide the issue itself.
See First Options, 514 U.S. at 945.
When construing arbitration clauses, courts distinguish between broad and narrow clauses. See Louis Dreyfus Negoce S.A. v. Blystad Shipping & Trading Inc., 252 F.3d 218, 224 (2d Cir. 2001). A broad arbitration clause is one that " purport[s] to refer all disputes arising out of a contract to arbitration." McDonnell Douglas Fin. Corp. v. Pa. Power & Light Co., 858 F.2d 825, 832 (2d Cir. 1988). A narrow arbitration clause, by contrast, is one that " limit[s] arbitration to specific types of disputes." Id. The provisions at issue here are clearly of the latter type, as they provide for arbitration of specific disputes related to reporting, accounting, and auditing.
In cases involving broad arbitration clauses, courts have held that the parties' adoption of the ICC Rules constitutes " clear and unmistakable evidence" of their intent to arbitrate arbitrability. See, e.g. VRG Linhas Aereas S.A. v. MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners II L.P., 717 F.3d 322, 326 (2d Cir. 2013). This is because the ICC Rules provide that, if a party raises any objections " concerning the existence, validity or scope of the arbitration agreement ... any decision as to the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be taken by the Arbitral Tribunal itself." Shaw Group Inc. v. Triplefine Int'l Corp., 322 F.3d 115, 122 (2d Cir. 2003).[1] In such cases, courts infer that, by agreeing to arbitrate under the ICC Rules, the parties intentionally incorporated the specific rule submitting questions of arbitrability to the arbitrators.
Where, however, the arbitration clause is a narrow one, this inference does not hold. For example, the Second Circuit recently considered the effect of a clause providing for arbitration under the American Arbitration Association (" AAA" ) Rules, which, like the ICC Rules, empower the arbitrators to rule on their own jurisdiction. See NASDAQ OMX Grp., Inc. v. UBS Secs., LLC, No. 13-2657-CV, 770 F.3d 1010, 2014 WL 5486457, at *19 (2d Cir. Oct. 31, 2014). The clause at issue directed that: " Except as may be provided in the NASDAQ OMX Requirements, all claims, disputes, controversies and other matters in question between the Parties to this Agreement ... shall be settled by final and binding arbitration." Id. at *18. The court held that, because certain issues were expressly made not arbitrable, the AAA Rules would not apply " until a decision is made as to whether a question does or does not fall within the intended scope of arbitration, in short, until arbitrability is decided." Id. at *19. In other words, unlike agreements committing all disputes between the parties to arbitration under the AAA Rules, an agreement to arbitrate
Page 530
only certain issues under those rules would not " signal the parties' clear and unmistakable intent to submit arbitrability disputes to arbitration." Id. In reaching this conclusion, the court relied on a previous case involving a broad arbitration clause that contained a carve-out for one particular type of dispute. See Katz v. Feinberg, 290 F.3d 95, 96 (2d Cir. 2002). In that case, the court held that " the presence of both these clauses creates an ambiguity, which ... requires us to assign questions of arbitrability to the district court, not the arbitrator." Id. at 97 (citing First Options, 514 U.S. at 944).[2]
This reasoning applies with even greater force here. Whereas the agreements at issue in NASDAQ and Katz provided for arbitration of all disputes except for certain narrow exceptions, the PLA and the BCA commit only specific categories of disputes to ICC arbitration, reserving all other disputes arising under the agreements for judicial resolution. PLA § 4.2.5; BCA § 3.3.2. Given this, the Court cannot infer from the parties' reference to the ICC Rules alone that they intended to arbitrate questions of arbitrability. The more plausible reading of the parties' agreement is that they intended the ICC Rules to apply only to those disputes that they expressly agreed to arbitrate.
See NASDAQ, 2014 WL 5486457, at *19. To hold otherwise would allow a party to force arbitration under any contract containing an ICC arbitration provision, no matter how narrow the arbitrable subject matter or how unrelated the actual dispute to that subject matter (thereby imposing on its opponent the expense and delay of forming an arbitral panel only to convince the panel that the dispute was not arbitrable). Absent " clear and unmistakable evidence," the Court cannot conclude that the parties intended this result.
Accordingly, the Court now considers the question of arbitrability itself, i.e., whether the present dispute is within the scope of the parties' agreement to arbitrate. The Federal Arbitration Act (" FAA" ) creates a presumption in favor of arbitration, such that " any doubts concerning the scope of arbitrable issues should be resolved in favor of arbitration."
Moses H. Cone Mem'l Hosp. v. Mercury Constr. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 24-25, 103 S.Ct. 927, 74 L.Ed.2d 765 (1983). " [T]he party resisting arbitration bears the burden of proving that the claims at issue are unsuitable for arbitration." Green Tree Fin. Corp.-Ala. v. Randolph, 531 U.S. 79, 91, 121 S.Ct. 513, 148 L.Ed.2d 373 (2000). Nonetheless, where, as here, the arbitration clause is a narrow one, the court " must be careful to carry out the specific and limited intent of the parties."
McDonnell, 858 F.2d at 832. The court must order arbitration only if the question at issue is " 'on its face within the purview of the clause.'" Id. (citation omitted).
Samsung argues that both causes of action in the Amended Complaint are arbitrable under the BCA because they are " dispute[s] between the parties with respect to any Royalty and Credit Calculation Report ... or any Annual Invoice." BCA § 3.3.1. Microsoft's first claim, for breach of contract, seeks interest for late payment of royalties that were due under the 2013 Annual Invoice. Its second claim, the argument goes, seeks a declaration that the Nokia Acquisition did not relieve Samsung of its obligation to submit future Royalty and Credit Calculation Reports
Page 531
and to pay future Annual Invoices. Thus, Samsung argues that Microsoft's claims relate to past and future Royalty and Credit Calculation Reports and Annual Invoices.
This argument stretches Section 3.1.1 too far. The present dispute is not about the Royalty and Credit Calculation Reports and Annual Invoices themselves, as the information and calculations reflected therein are undisputed. See Amended Compl. ¶ ¶ 45-51. The dispute relates to those documents only in the sense that it affects Samsung's continuing obligation to make payments thereunder. Under that interpretation, any allegation of material breach would be arbitrable, as a claim for termination or rescission of the agreements would necessarily affect future Royalty and Credit Calculation Reports and Annual Invoices.
The real controversy in this case concerns the interpretation of substantive provisions of both agreements, not the discrete accounting and invoicing issues that the parties have agreed to arbitrate. The crux of the dispute is whether the Nokia Acquisition was, as Microsoft claims, an addition of a new subsidiary or business unit as contemplated by Section 3.2 of the PLA, or whether it was, as Samsung contends, a " merger" with a competitor prohibited by Section 9.7 of the BCA. Id. Microsoft's claims turn on interpretation of these provisions, the resulting effect on the rights and obligations of the parties, and any corollary questions of contract interpretation that may arise. These central issues are plainly not disputes about Royalty and Credit Calculation Reports or Annual Invoices. Because the dispute is not " on its face within the purview of the clause," McDonnell, 858 F.2d at 832, the Court finds that it is not arbitrable.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court denied Samsung's motion to compel arbitration and stay the case.

For patients with cancer, preserving the ability to start a family at a time of their choosing is especially important and may influence decisions pertaining to cancer treatment. For other women who have delayed childbearing for personal or professional reasons, fertility preservation offers the possibility of having a biological child regardless of age. Though these women may be interested in or benefit from fertility preservation, fertility preservation services remain underutilized. While embryo and oocyte cryopreservation remain the standard strategies for female fertility preservation recommended by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the European Society of Medical Oncology, other strategies (e.g. pharmacological protection of the ovaries and ovarian tissue cryopreservation) are the subject of increasing research. This review will present new data that have become available over the past few years pertaining to all available methods of fertility preservation.

This is not a wimpy formulation; it contains very few ingredients and each is determined to do a thorough job. Glycolic acid is the second ingredient, followed closely by pumpkin ferment, another AHA. These two strong exfoliators and lighteners are balanced with oils for calming, healing and antioxidant protection. Fructooligosaccharides provide collagen building and moisture retention. Clove oil, an anti-bacterial ingredient recommended for helping with acne, can also be found among the list of ingredients.
The directions say to use this lotion daily, and I started out following them but had to reduce my use as it was too strong for everyday use. If I'd shaved my legs - whoo! It would sting upon application. My decollete would be left irritated and rashy. While my skin was feeling softer and firmer, it was also dry. Every third day worked best for me.
I found that if I added a few drops of argan oil to the treatment, it had great results. The next day my skin was glowing. I would recommend trying this the night before you have to wear a swimsuit.
Pumpkin Lotion gets right to work on shrinking pores, diminishing age spots and even lessening body creases and wrinkles. My forearms got quite a bit of sun this summer, and I was less than diligent about applying sunscreen. As a result, I had quite a bit of freckling, dryness and hyperpigmentation. This treatment felt like I was taking an eraser to my arms. My knees look plumper and my chest is smoother.
I have only one gripe - the fragrance. It smells like a scented candle. And not like when you walk past one of those candle stores - it's like you have your nose in the jar. It lasts for a while too. It helped to add the argan oil. Although that doesn't have a fragrance, it lessened the pumpkin lotion's aroma.
I am familiar with the Arcona product line and have used its products for a few years now. The brand doesn't seem to cut corners and uses only what is necessary in each product. I recommend the pumpkin lotion 10% with two thumbs up. Just remember that a little goes a long way.

I love the smell of pumpkin candles, so the scent did not bother me at all, but I can understand why it would if you really didn't! They should formulate a non-scented version...they would sell double the volume. The lotion is fast absorbing and gentle. I originally bought it to see how it would work on my KP on my arms and legs, and as it did do some smoothing out, I didn't get the results I expected. I think I need a stronger percentage for the KP, but the 10% worked great at smoothing the other parts of my body. This is a great daily lotion to use..no irritation.
There's much to like here: this lotion is great for smoothing out parts of your body that, like me, may get some bumps/acne (I get these around my upper arms and legs). A little goes a long way. Plus, there are minimal nasties in the formulation. With that said, I find the smell overpowering and not that pleasant (like Ann, it reminds me of a full on artificial scented candle smell). The smell lingers for HOURS too (I can still smell it the next morning)! Sadly, as effective as this is, I don't think I will repurchase until the lotion is reformulated with either a gentler scent or a better scent.
I started using this on my hands to get rid of age spots, and it worked beautifully. Until, of course, I forget to use sunscreen, and then the age spots return. But that's my own fault. I really wish this came in a bigger bottle because I need this for my arms, legs, chest, and shoulders too, and 4 ounces won't last long if you're using it on your whole body. I don't mind the scent at all, and I am definitely not a pumpkin lover. This product is a keeper!
At first, I wasn't sure about buying a lotion that had a pumpkin smell but since it is fall right now I thought I would try it. It does smell like pumpkin but I don't think it is that over powering. I do think that my arms and legs seem brighter and my skin more even and not as bumpy. If you are looking for something for dry skin, I would say this is not the product for you. This lotion is not very moisturing.
This lotion has entered my arsenal as one of the "things that work for a specific area"; I am not using it as an all-over body treatment as a general rule. Call me crazy, but I use this on my elbows and knees, which places its price point into a very reasonable range. I apply this at night (sometimes in the morning as well) and then apply sunscreen or moisturizer on top of it. I have no problems with absorption -- I think it absorbs beautifully, and a little seems to go a long way. And while the fragrance is very strong, I do not find it off-putting enough not to consider that I will be using this on more areas of my body during the colder months to see how larger areas fare. I'm a fan of what glycolic acid does for my skin, and I'm happy to have found a product that's meant for areas other than the face.
This lotion is absolutely brilliant. I have some rough patches on my forearms that I've been trying for ages to get rid of, but nothing has worked. Until I got this lotion. I've been using it nightly for a month and I'm astounded at the difference in my skin. I honestly feel like a magic eraser has removed all of the tough patches and replaced it with smooth, soft, amazingly even-toned skin. I'm a real skeptic sometimes when it comes to skincare products, but this is the best purchase I've made in years. Really would recommend for anyone with some targeted areas that could benefit from gentle exfoliation that leads to some radical change.
Hi Cheryl, it is best to use any glycolic product at night since it increases sun sensitivity. Experiment with what works for you, especially regarding how often you use it - a couple of times a week, rather than daily may be enough. If you feel the need to add a moisturizer it should be after the Arcona Pumpkin 10%.
I just purchased Arcona Pumpkin 10%. Question: Do I use it only at night? Do I put a moisturizer on after or before? Not sure how best to accomplish skin improvement with this. I have dry skin and am in the sun quite a lot.
I've been using Arcona Pumpkin Lotion for the past two months or so on my lower legs and upper arms, but not every single day. The scent is very strong - yankee candle pumpkin pie strength - which some may not like, but I'm personally quite fond of.
My lower legs are noticeably less dry but it's my upper arms where I've really seen the difference - the little white bumps and ingrowing hairs are massively improved and I think if I used it more religiously and for longer, they might be altogether gone, so I'll definitely be purchasing a second bottle. .
I absolutely love this product.
What a find this is! I've become a bit obsessed about finding a body lotion with glycolic (I've even been improvising with Lather's glycolic mask) and now I have found it. This tingles on application, but only lasts a few moments and my skin is not irritated by it at all. It is great for clarifying dry skin, smoothing wrinkles and I'll be interested to see if it can help with sun damage over time. I do agree with Ann about the fragrance but it isn't enough to put me off. This body lotion gives results and is my new go-to.
I made the mistake of using this daily for a little over a week. I used it on my sagging neck and dry lined décolleté, and oh my did I suffer for it! I tried everything I could find to soothe the redness and irritation. It was itching and burning and nothing seemed to give any relief. I should add that I thought it was going along fairly well to start out for those several days as it didn't seem to have any adverse reaction, until I woke up one morning to what felt and looked worse than a sunburn.
So I obviously had overdone it, and would highly suggest not using this product more than for times a week. I should also add I do not have sensitive skin in the least and had never had this type of reaction from any products including professional deep peels. Just a word of caution, start out slow and don't get over zealous like I did. I think I'll save it for elbows and knees.
Hi Barbara
This is a fairly strong formulation. It tingles notably when first applied to the skin - and that's the body, not my sensitive face. I know that I couldn't put this anywhere near my face, but if you are used to strong glycolics you could give it a try. The other thing worth mentioning is that the texture is dense and takes a bit of rubbing in - again a good thing for the decollete or arms, but might be unpleasant on the face.
Why can't this be used on the face?

I haven't tried Ann's tip yet of using it with Private Reserve - sounds like a brilliant idea that I will definitely follow up.

Greylock Arts curated webcomics exhibit
A curated collection of web comics over at Greylock Arts, with creator interviews and lots of links to strips like Underwire, Persimmon Cup, Truth Serum, Wondermark, The Process, Amazing Facts...and Beyond!, Phil McAndrew and more, including a few previously featured on the blue. [via Bookslut]
"You're obviously stuck in some drunk logic fugue state"
Next-Door Neighbor, from SMITH Magazine, takes a bunch of renowned artists and writers from the world of Indie Comics and asks them to tell stories about, well, memorable Next-Door Neighbor experiences. "The Next-Door Neighbor I Don't Know," by Harvey Pekar and Rick Veitch is worth a look, of course, but personal favorites for me include "Halloweens Ago," and "Hank & Barbara." And after reading, "Dream Train," be sure to check out the video link of the subject playing an old cowboy song.

The Hole in the Wall on Top Shelf!
The Hole in the Wall [via mefi projects] is our own interrobang's surrealistic cat story now being serialized at Top Shelf Comics as part of their new Webcomics section, and it's definitely something special - pen & ink & watercolor adventures of two cats exploring a mysterious and dangerous underground landscape. More comics like this will be posted there depending on the popularity of this one, so if you love art, great comics, or cats, you will want to check it out. This was a part of interrobang's Year in Comics project, so if you fall in love with the Hole in the Wall kittehs (you will!), go have look at his other stuff, as well.

It's always funny until you're the one being made fun of
"We need to make a comic so I can eat lunch." You're in your office sitting at your desk. There's a hot mic in the room. It's 45 minutes 'till lunch, your tummy's grumbling and you still have to write a comic. Fortunately your best friend -- who is also the co-founder of your decade-old business empire -- is sitting at his desk a few feet away. You are "Gabe" or "Tycho" of Penny Arcade, and the next 45 minutes will be captured on tape and published for all the world to hear as a podcast. But only if it's good. "Downloadable Content, The Penny Arcade Podcast" is practically a documentary on collaboratively authoring webcomics. The most recent episode is a particularly good example of that. [more inside]

Brilliant comics, unknown artists
Online nerds have known for years that webcomics are often much more daring and interesting than newspaper tripe like Beetle Bailey and Hagar the Horrible. An unknown kid from Fresno by the name S. Sakurai has brightened many of our days with his frequently brilliant work. His ongoing strip Muertitos is a Beetlejuice-esque afterlife gem, and Gorgeous Princess Creamy-Beamy is mostly about skewering anime cliches, aliens, lesbians, and junk food. I was hooked as soon as one of his alien characters described our land vehicles as being "powered by exploding dinosaurs." Highly recommended for any Bloom County/Calvin and Hobbes fans, particularly those who grew up playing 8-bit Nintendo and watching Sailor Moon.
I'm the gosh-darn Batman!
Little Batman. Like Batman, but little. He fights crime. He likes bats. Sometimes he misses mom and dad.
You should read Gunnerkrigg Court
Gunnerkrigg Court is a lovely and strange webcomic by Tom Siddell. While its scenario bears a passing resemblance to Harry Potter (magic school, main character with a strange destiny, etc.), there's something quite different going on here. Chapter One, for instance, deals with how to get an anthropomorphic shadow back to its forest home, using only a box of discarded robot parts and a young girl's initiative. And that's just the beginning. Need a more trustworthy endorsement than mine? Neil Gaiman likes it.
After The Deluge
A.D. (After The Deluge) is a serialized webcomic about what it was like in the days leading up to, during & immediately after the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. The story is true, all dialogue taken from direct quotes. An ongoing project with updates monthly (scheduled to run from Dec 06 - Dec 07), the most recent chapter takes place right at the end of the storm, prior to the collapse of the levees, but to get the full effect, read from the very beginning. For those who want to know more about the project, there's an FAQ.
Zombie Joseph Beuys Recommends: The Tax Code
For each occupation, an illustration. For some months, Dorothy of Cat and Girl has been riffing on the Schedule C Principal Business or Professional Activity Codes Table. The list is full of odd associations. Why, for instance is "Offices of Podiatrists" illustrated with a Starfleet officer? There's gotta be a story there.

The Belfry WebComics Index is a site that lists just about every webcomic in existence, and a few that no longer are. You can add any that it's missing. Even better, if you tell it which ones you like, it'll compare that to other users' picks and make suggestions. The top ten are Better Days, Sabrina Online, Faux Pas, Jack (NSFW), Freefall, VG Cats, Kevin & Kell, Peter is the Wolf (NSFW), Ozy & Millie, and Dan & Mab's Furry Adventures. If you dislike talking animals, you can set the furry-bit to off, to highlight such webcomics as Penny Arcade, Girl Genius, Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Sluggy Freelance, PvP, MegaTokyo, Misfile, Schlock Mercenary, Something Positive, The Wotch and many more.

The darkside is so cute!
The Dark Side Is The Best Sauce I'm not sure if the cartoonist has their own personal LiveJournal, but the one for the comic is rather adorable and funny. It's just a handful of strips thus far, and they're terribly spoilery for Star Wars: Episode III. But still worth a quick look.

text: The battery of my jailbreaked 1.1.2 16gb was completely empty when I plugged it to my PC. I had iTunes opened and I started listening to some music and browsing the Installer.app at the same time. Then everything went nuts. The sound coming through my headphones got all distorted and the screen of my iPod flickered all sorts of colours. I, of course, unplugged the damn thing and , holding down the sleep and home buttons, turned it off. Now, here is the state of it: I can`t turn it on with the physical buttons on the iPod itself (battery must be dead) When I connect it, iTunes recognizes it, but asks me to do a restore. I do it. It starts preparing the iPod(this takes a few minutes) iPod screen finally turns on, I can see the Apple logo clearly. The screen starts flickering like hell (check the video) and iTunes tells me it can`t restore, error 1604. I disconnect the iPod, the flickering doesnt stop unless I home-and-sleep-button turn it off. What are my options?

Vietnamese Caramelized Salty Pork ( Thit Kho)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
This dish is very fatty and a little salty, but is so delicious and easy to make. You just have to make sure that you have the ingredients ready to begin the cooking. Adding shrimp to this recipe makes an unbelievably tasty surprise. One of my all time favorites.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs pork belly
- 1 onion, roughly diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup fish sauce
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- Wash and cut pork belly into 3/4 inch (cubed)pieces.
- In a dry saucepan, melt sugar on high heat until it becomes golden brown but not candied.
- Immediately, add pork belly pieces, onions, pepper, and garlic. Stir to get a golden color on the meat.
- Add fish sauce and water, deglaze, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes (stirring occasionally) until sauce thickens a little. Add a little more fish sauce and black pepper to taste.
- Serve over white rice.
- Note: Some vietnamese add whole hard boiled eggs (better if you fry the hard boiled eggs in a little oil until golden brown skin) along with the liquids. Adding shrimp is also delicious.

I agree with Chef #1164483. You can use pork loin in place of pork belly to cut way down on the fat. ( I am also Viet). What I usually use is pork leg. It is not as lean as pork loin but much leaner than pork belly. With pork loin, you've got to watch the cooking time otherwise the lean meat will dry out. Hope that helps.
Thank you very much.
Loved this! (once i figured out what i was doing lol) I didnt let it carmelize enough at first so i removed the pork (loin not back... someday!) and let it carmelize, added the remaining ingredients and since the pork was already cooked thru just tossed to coat and simmer briefly. I will most definetly make this again! Served as part of a noodle bowl.

Beautiful views from this pier. Best time to go is at sunset for amazing pictures. The lifeguard tower is lite at night so makes for a nice walk.
You don't have to be a fisherman to enjoy the pier. It is very long and provides opportunities to fish in the deep water and in the surfline. The views from the pier are spectacular as you can see so far up and down the San Clemente coast. Right near the pier are beautiful old buildings that remind you of...
An amazing introduction to California for me. First time in Cali and San Clemente was my first stop. Pier offers amazing views, great restaurant as well at "The Fishermans Restaurant". Great beach for swimming or surfing. Top it off with a train running by feet from the beach and its a really cool spot. Parking is very reasonable. You can...
Having visited so many piers on the west coast we find the San Clemente pier to be one of the nicest ones. Having nice dining choices on the pier is great and being close to the train is a plus.
One of the more beautiful pier areas in So Cal. Great for water sports. Great people. Some cool restaurants in the area and nice for a walk on the pier or on the coast.
I've been enjoying pier for 60 years and it's still wonderful. Every visit brings new experiences. Whether 12 or 72, it was always special.
This is our favorite beach and pier! Love the restaurant and bar. Great views of the ocean! Will come back!
Coming from the UK, the pier reminds me of all the old British piers.
Great for a stroll and a great spot to fish too.
Also good view of the surfers if you like that sort of thing.
We really enjoyed our walk. Love the fishermans restaurant that is on the pier. Talked to some fisherman on the pier. Good times.
This is probably one of the longest Pier. A good place for nature lovers and photographers to carry beautiful memories with them. Ideal to watch surfers and sunset.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
As an economist who had studied administrative and regulatory law, he saw the waste and inefficiency in socialism, but he points out that Lenin and Hitler, as well as the British champions of socialization and "thus the most eminent advocates of socialism implicitly admit that their tenets and plans cannot stand the criticism of economic science and are doomed under a regime of freedom" (von Mises 119)
In Bureaucracy, von Mises concluded that every man cannot be an economist, that professionals have an advantage over laymen as they devote all their time to that one thing, becoming specialists in their area. Highly regulated fields include environmental protection, healthcare, and professional licensing. Understanding and applying principles of administrative law are critical to a smooth functioning of government. Administrative law is also important in interactions with government in its proprietary capacity, such as eminent domain, real estate development, contracts and construction. As the amateur cannot become a specialist, but needs to have a voice in the overall effect of the bureaucrats' rule, von Mises proposes there be a "middle way," capitalism regulated and regimented by government interference with business. "But this government intervention should not amount to full government control of all economic activities; it should be limited to the elimination of some especially objectionable excrescences of capitalism without suppressing the activities of the entrepreneur altogether" (von Mises 122).
It would be a mistake to leave all regulatory and economic decision-making to professionals, to completely abdicate to professionals in administrative, social, educational or other governmental issues, even though the ordinary citizen does not concern him or herself with such things as agriculture, flow-charts, zoning or road-building. Bureaucrats can ply their expertise in these areas, but the citizen, if he or she wants to be self-determining, must at least gain some kind of judgment in these areas to guide the bureaucrats into decisions that do not encroach on the rights and ability to act independently, of each citizen. Oversight of compliance audits, knowledge of governmental agency functions and assistance in training citizens in the legislative systems must be in place. As von Mises said at the end of his argument,
Democracy means self-determination. How can people determine their own affairs if they are too indifferent to gain through their own thinking an independent judgment on fundamental political and economic problems? Democracy is not a good that people can enjoy without trouble. It is, on the contrary, a treasure that must be daily defended and conquered anew by strenuous effort (von Mises 125).
In conclusion, bureaucracy has its place in the regulations and administration of a government, but when it begins to encroach on the rights of people, it must be limited. Expertise is needed in most areas of government and is invaluable in a democracy. However, experts must be controlled by the tenets of democracy, and must allow the common man (or woman) to determine how many and what kind of decisions may be made about their lives without seriously limiting their rights and freedom.

A von Mises, L. (1944). Bureaucracy. Auburn, Alabama: Mises.
Large corporations are entities that most people work for and are used to, that focus all power on the leaders, as "the deciders," who make decisions, good or bad, for everyone below them. The employees of a large corporation must go along with the decisions that the leaders make because they have no choice. A government run on these principles is not a democracy. It is a bureaucracy.
Today workers in unions fear that, though it is more efficient, the bureaucratization of the labor movement will incorporate independent small unions and combine them into an assemblage of 15 or 20 organizations, which would parcel out all jurisdictional rights of the smaller unions and reduce the labor union to one, huge bureaucratic entity. Workers, if they are dissatisfied with union leaders would be unable to replace them, and be locked into this system. Under a bureaucracy, central labor councils in cities and states would be subject to strict control by the officers of huge internationals, who would appoint all their delegates and officers and deprive them of autonomy. The bureaucracy, they fear,…[continue]

Democracy in the United States [...] what type of democracy is the U.S. What are the most democratic and least democratic features of American national government?

Role of Democracy in the Middle East There has recently been a wave of democratic uprisings sweeping across the Middle East. Starting in Tunisia, the call for democratic reforms spread through Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan, Syria, Iran and many other nations. Many have likened these uprisings to the social unrest of 1848, which gave rise to the Communist Revolution of 1917, but they do so wrongly. While the popular uprisings
Local Government Around the world, different nations, which are enclosed by their own geographical boundaries, adhere to various different styles of government. Those styles may either be democratic or dictatorial. Within democratic styles of government, there are other different sub-styles such as direct democracies, representative democracies, bi cameral houses, unicameral houses etc. These governments are setup on both federal and provincial or state level along with a local government for

With recent advances in cosmetic dental technology, what was once considered impossible can now be performed routinely. We now have the means and the know-how to treat such conditions as discolored, crooked, and missing teeth - often in one or two visits to a cosmetic dentist, and often without discomfort.
Porcelain veneers have now become a standard part of cosmetic dentistry. These veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front teeth. Using porcelain veneers, we can change the shape, color and length of your teeth in only two visits - instant orthodontics!
Dental bonding is a widely used phrase that describes how tooth-colored fillings are placed. Using dental bonding, we can eliminate discolored areas, fill in gaps, and also build back areas of gum recession.
Composite fillings (tooth-colored fillings) can now be placed in the back molar areas when tooth decay is detected. These fillings can be used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings and are virtually invisible. Dentists have fun placing composite fillings and patients like them, too.
Teeth whitening is a great treatment for generalized yellow or stained teeth. With custom-fabricated tooth bleaching trays, the bleaching procedure can be done at home at your own convenience. The process generally takes about four to six weeks and the results are very impressive.
With the treatment options available today, it's possible to have the smile you've always wanted. Let your dentist know if you're interested in learning more about these advances in cosmetic dentistry.
People of a certain age sometimes find themselves in need of dental care involving dental crowns instead of a filling, or dental bridges to replace missing teeth. Understandably, in light of the present economy, many patients think first of the expense. But the fact remains that postponed care costs more in the long run, both financially and physically.
In the case of broken teeth, extensive decay or an old filling, a crown is intended to hold the remaining tooth structure together. After a root canal, enamel becomes especially brittle - another candidate for a crown.
A badly damaged tooth, left untreated, causes changes in the mouth that disrupt how the teeth work, chewing patterns, and jaw function. Normal eating habits may be inhibited. Tenderness forces the bite away from one side of the mouth and exerts undue pressure elsewhere. Why not just extract this troublesome tooth?
A missing tooth eventually spells oral disaster, meaning permanent changes to your bite. Because the mouth is dynamic, teeth on either side of an empty space will shift. The teeth next to them move, too. With all this movement, periodontal disease could invade soft tissues. Jaw misalignment, and the pain that goes with it, is likely. So tooth restoration to bolster neighboring teeth and keep the "architecture" of the mouth in good shape is the best course of treatment.
After fillings, crown and bridge work is our first line of defense against oral deterioration. This kind of dentistry brings a lot of satisfaction to both patient and dentist. A transformation happens. With the mouth functioning again, people feel better about themselves.
So call your cosmetic dentist today to find out how you can restore your mouth to total dental health. You'll look and feel better.

3 charged in gun brought to Atlanta school campus
Atlanta police say charges have been filed against three students accused of handling a gun that led to a school lockdown
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Atlanta police say charges have been filed against three students accused of handling a gun that led to a school lockdown.
Police say no injuries were reported and no shots were fired at Frederick Douglass High School in northwest Atlanta Wednesday. Police say the weapon was recovered on school grounds.
Officer John Chafee says the teens are charged with possession of a firearm on school property, possession of a firearm by a minor and disrupting public schools. The teens have been taken to the Fulton County Youth Detention Center and their identities haven't been released.
Atlanta Public Schools spokesman James Malone has said students, faculty and staff were safe while the campus was locked down and searched. Malone said parents were notified of the situation by email and automated calls.

Rather than use sprays that kill helpful insects along with pests, we find it works better to attract and encourage the insects that eat pests. Most predator insects need nectar and pollen to complete their life cycle. Often, the adult insect lives on nectar, and the young eat other bugs. So, to have lots of predators, you want to have lots of nectar-bearing flowers. This collection has some of the most effective and easiest to grow. 6 pkts. NAME: Good Bug, Bad Bug SUBTITLE: Who's Who, What They Do, and How to Manage Them Organically Great pictures and easily understood information about each pest, including what their damage looks like, what plants they attack, how to prevent attacks, and how to control attacks organically. It has an equally awesome section for beneficial insects, with pictures, detailed information, and tips on how to attract them and keep them in your garden. Spiral bound to lie flat for easy reading.

Big Brother 11: Week 1 Saturday Live Feed Updates| July 11, 2009 at 11:44 PM EST
Big Brother 11 has fired out of the starting gate like few seasons of Big Brother before it. Saturday kept up the thunder with a lot of activity in the house and on the live feeds. Here's a quick summary, spoilers and all, for what you might have missed throughout the day.
Following Jessie's nominations of Lydia and Chima the Power of Veto competition resulted in Russell gaining the golden medallion on Friday night. Going into Saturday everything seemed a lock for the eviction of Lydia on Thursday's first live eviction episode. That all changed with the help of Natalie in Jessie's and Russell's ears. The Athletes have a whole new target today.
The backyard was a hot spot with fights breaking out all over Jeff's head. First Russell berates Jeff nearly out of the blue in a rather random fashion. Russell attacks Jeff for a spelling error during the PoV competition and continues on about his intelligence and physical abilities. The whole thing was pretty bizarre.
You can go back and watch it on the new live feeds Flashback feature around 11:15AM BBT (July 11th) or read JLynn's recap here in the Diary Room.
Just a little later Natalie came out and broke open Jeff's fresh wounds with a rant about who was to blame for which nominations. Again, not much point to this fight other than Natalie wanting to get her aggressive kicks on. She later voiced her enjoyment over the event saying she wanted another one because it was fun. And why not? Everyone loves a hot head in the house, right?
Ronnie isn't making a lot of friends just yet either. Turns out his social butterfly approach is drawing comparisons to being a "floater" which is not a good label to earn in Big Brother. You can read more about Ronnie's new nickname given to him by the other HGs. It's not too good.
In the end, despite all the attacks from his own team, Jeff will be safe this week because the clique rules of the season state someone on the winning HoH clique team can not be nominated. Otherwise, I imagine we might see a different result at the PoV Ceremony. Instead, Russell is now planning to remove Lydia from the chopping block while Jessie will replace her with Braden. Braden is the new target with a front row seat for the first backdoor eviction of the season.
The Power of Veto Ceremony is still yet to happen (I'm expecting it on Sunday) and anything could occur, but as Saturday wraps the blond surfer dude should soon be on his way back to the beaches in no time. Bummer, dude.
From fights in the backyard, to Jordan boldly showing off her bikini bottom tan line, and Russell putting his "love muscle" on display it was one wild day on the uncensored Big Brother live feeds.

ummm thats not all true. jeff attacked natalie first. watch it back. jeff was the cause of the second fight.
I see it Carl's way to, Natalie was just out there talking to other people if you go back and even at the beginning when Jeff attacked her she seemed confused like are you really doing this right now.
Natalie is one smart cookie. She knew exactly what she was doing.
Honestly i think Natalie's decision was a poor one. I think her deciding to tell jessie, was a big mistake. Now Jessie has dirt on her and if anyone finds out, she will look like a deviant, deceitful person. People always wanna get the snake out first.
Last night, Jessie was trying to tell Natalie something and he kept trying over and over. BB called BRaden to the DR and Jessie jumped up and ran out of there like his tail was on fire and jumped in the DR. I don't think he "like" likes her the way she does him. (Seriously, she is all starry eyed when she looks at him). I am very interested in seeing a real "showmance" develop between Jeff and Jordan, but i think that one is our only chance this season, at least so far,so I sure hope they get the time to see that through.
If I was Braden, I would be courting Michelle and Kevin like it was a Sunday social!! They are the KEY to winning this eviction! They are the only true floaters at this point, and have not committed.. I would make Michelle my BFF!! Besides, i think she is just awesome, anyway!
Yeah, what was that with Jesse trying to beat Braden to the DR? After he went in (Braden hadn't gotten there yet) BB anounces that the DR is closed till further notice. Not knowing that Jessie had jumped in ahead of Braden, the HGs outside wondered aloud what was going on. Any ideas?
Matt- Who cares about all-caps with Patti Ann. I just came on to see who else thought Russell was an idiot and then I read your comment. Who cares? Do you think Patti Ann is trying to start a fight. Last time I ever check other peoples opinions about TV when comment like that appear.

Steinbeck is a bassist/improviser/composer whose original music reflects his experience playing everything from free jazz to hip-hop. His third recording as leader, "Sun Set" (Engine e022, 2007), is an impressive artistic statement that blends adventurous collective improvisation and a range of musical styles, from R&B and gospel to expressive, coloristic percussion pieces.
Steinbeck performs in the United States and internationally with several groups—his new experimental ensemble, THUMP; the Low End Theory with former Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians President Mwata Bowden; and a French-American quintet with saxophonist Pierrick Menuau.
Barker began his professional career at the age of 16 playing for blues singer Mighty Joe Young. Classically trained at the American Conservatory of Music, his reputation as a drummer grew quickly. He has played backup for Billy Eckstein, Marvin Gaye, Bette Midler and Vicki Carr. He was the house drummer at the Schubert Theatre in Chicago for 10 years, where he played for national touring companies in "Hair," "The Wiz," "The Me Nobody Knows," "Promises, Promises," "1776," "Bubblin' Brown Sugar," "Raisin in the Sun," "Grease," "One Mo' Time" and "Ain't Misbehavin'."
Barker is a charter member of AACM and has performed and is known worldwide. He has recorded with Cecil Taylor, Muhal Richard Abrams, Amina Claudine Meyers, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Sam Rivers, Billy Bang, Joseph Jarman and Henry Threadgill. He has taught and developed the jazz program at Bard College since 1993, and is an associate professor of jazz studies there.
A native of Memphis, Bowden attended Chicago's DuSable High School, where he studied music with the legendary Captain Walter Dyett, and later at Chicago's American Conservatory of Music, and before touring with the rhythm and blues group the Chi-Lites.
