Microsoft says its Service Pack 2 update adds an additional layer of security to Windows XP-based PCs. However, recent PCW tests seem to show that at least two major security suites are crippling SP2's ability to offer users accurate security information.
SP2, which Microsoft rolled out in August, includes the new Windows Security Center. This feature alerts users when their PC's antivirus or firewall software is missing or out of date. It also signals when the real-time virus scanner is disabled, and when the firewall is not enabled. At least, that's how it's supposed to work.
However, when we installed Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2005 and McAfee's Internet Security Suite 2005 on a system running SP2, both apps caused the Windows Security Center to erroneously report that the products were up-to-date. Any antivirus software, whether downloaded via the Internet or purchased at retail, will need its signatures updated when it is first installed. This is because they need to reflect any new viruses that were discovered between the time the product was created and when it was installed.
In the case of McAfee, even the vendor's own product incorrectly reported that it was up-to-date out of the box. (Symantec's product correctly noted that it required an update).
We also installed Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 to a system running SP2. In this case, the Windows Security Center properly reflected that the product needed updating. Once the Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 product had been updated, the Windows Security Center status changed accordingly. We had similarly successful results when installing F-Secure Internet Security 2005, ZoneAlarm Internet Security, and Panda Software's Platinum Internet Security 2005. Each of these suites worked seamlessly with the Windows Security Center, and the update status was properly reflected after their installation.
Tricking Windows Security
Representatives from Symantec and McAfee acknowledge that their latest programs manipulate the Windows Security Center.
During installation, Symantec's Norton suite deliberately disables the Windows Security Center feature that alerts users to missing or incomplete protection, says Kraig Lane, product manager for Norton Internet Security. Norton keeps the feature disabled until it has completed its initial update, and then it turns it on, he says. This is done because Symantec's usability studies showed that the Windows Security Center alerts that users received during the installation of a new product weren't conducive to a good user experience, Kraig says.
McAfee offers a similar explanation. The antivirus signature files are deliberately dated to the time of install, specifically to "avoid Windows Security Center out-of-date messaging," on Windows XP SP2 systems, says Brent Lymer, senior director of product and partner management at McAfee Consumer.
Neither Symantec nor McAfee indicated to us that they are planning to change these policies.
Microsoft Weighs In
Microsoft says the onus for accurately updating the status of antivirus definitions falls on the antivirus vendors themselves. The Windows Security Center merely attempts to mitigate threats by providing a single location for reporting the status of security problems and alerting users when programs are in need of attention.
The Windows Security Center also can alert users when worms or viruses disable their antivirus software. Viruses and worms often exploit the window of vulnerability that exists after a new virus is first discovered and before specific detection signatures are available. Upon infecting the vulnerable system, the worm disables the antivirus software protection, preventing the updates that would have guarded against it and leaving the system exposed to further compromise.
In order to offer these alerts, the Windows Security Center uses the Windows Management Interface (WMI), reading the data placed there by the security vendors and reporting accordingly.
The Windows Security Center was deliberately designed to be flexible, says Ryan Burkhardt, lead program manager for the Microsoft security business and technology unit. "Our hope was to get as many antivirus and firewall companies as possible to utilize this infrastructure, but it is really up to the vendor how they do the implementation," he says.
Unfortunately, the same flexibility that allows the antivirus vendors to manipulate the Windows Security Center leaves open the possibility that a malware writer could do the same. We spoke with several security experts about this possibility, but none who were well-versed in SP2 technology were willing to speak on the record regarding the possibility of exploit. When we posed the question to Microsoft, the company stated that the WMI has no known security vulnerability related to it.
Antivirus update schedules vary widely among vendors, and Microsoft wanted "to avoid judging who was in a good state or a bad state," says Yoav Schwartz, program manager for the Windows Security Center. Microsoft has "provided the necessary support, documentation, and infrastructure [and] it is really up to [the vendors] to provide the best experience they can for the user."
So how can you protect yourself? Your best bet is to check for antivirus updates immediately after installing the product, regardless of the status reported by either the Windows Security Center or the product itself, and to configure the product to search for updates automatically, at least weekly. If you suspect your protection may not be working properly, you can test it using the EICAR test file found at Eicar.org, or contact your antivirus vendor support for assistance.

It's really amazing how quickly this summer is going by. The Seahawks are starting up training camp out in Cheney, and we are now just a little over a month away from PDC where we'll be introducing a lot more of the new functionality for Office 12. A simple look at the "Office & SharePoint" track on the PDC website shows that we'll actually be talking about a lot of stuff that week.
I'm really looking forward to getting into more of the details on the new XML formats at PDC. By that time I'll be able to show examples in all three applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). I'm also really pushing to get an initial draft of the schemas sometime between PDC and Beta 1 (hopefully closer to PDC than Beta 1). Here's the description on the file format session I'll be doing:
Assembling, Repurposing and Manipulating Document Content Using the New Office File Format
The new Microsoft Office Open XML Formats are the default XML file formats for "Office 12". The power and accessibility of these XML file formats are designed for programmability and open up numerous scenarios for manipulating files, creating files from scratch, repurposing content and merging files with business data. This session explains the architecture of the new Open XML Formats, details of the application schemas and walks through how to create a couple of detailed solutions using the WinFX API to control file content.
Let me know if there are specific demos you guys would like to see and I'll work on getting them included. Personally I'm also really excited to be able to talk more about the work we've been doing with customer XML support in Word. Tristan Davis will be presenting this session. Tristan was an intern working on the XML functionality in Office 2003, and now he's come on full-time for Office 12. I've already talked a bit about the functionality in Word 2003, but I can't wait until PDC when we can talk about what's new in this are for 12. Here's a description of Tristan's session that will touch on this specific topic:
XML-Based Programmability for Flexible "Word 12" Document Solutions
Word 2003 introduced the concept of structured documents. This session shows how "Word 12" takes XML document programmability to a new level, offering new flexibility and intuitive user interaction. A few of the new concepts and capabilities are introduced that enable a greater use of custom-defined schema, and then the power behind those is shown through a more complex scenario.
It really should be an awesome session. We haven't built the demos yet, but one thing I'll make sure we include are some examples of how you would build a solution with XML in Word 2003, and then what we've done to make that a lot easier in Word 12. There really are some great advances here.
Another area that you guys might find interesting is covered in these two sessions:
"Office 12": Introduction to the Programmable Customization Model for the Office 12 User Experience (Part 1)
"Office 12" is introducing a new, declarative model for customizing the Office user interface using XML. Learn about what is possible and how your Office solutions can benefit from the new technologies.
"Office 12": Developing with the Programmable Customization Model for the Office 12 User Experience (Part 2)
"Office 12" is introducing a new, declarative model for customizing the Office user interface using XML. This session dives into the details of the markup and the resulting behavior, describes how the markup interacts with DLL-based code, and provides guidance for migrating existing solutions and developing new ones.
As I'm sure you've noticed by now, we are continuing our progression on the use of XML both in the file formats as well as in other technologies in Office. This session shows yet another example of that, and it really is an exciting topic.
Have a great weekend everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting everyday, but it's been really busy. We have a group of customers and partners coming out next week for some presentations and we've been working on getting all the demos and decks together. Any chance I get to talk with customers and partners and get feedback on Office 12 I take pretty seriously and try to make sure I have all the material together I want to cover. As a side effect, it's also pretty nice getting some of the talks and demos done at this point since we can then use a lot of that content for the PDC sessions.

Of course, Garrido's ploy wouldn't have worked at all if not for the right arm of Adrian Alaniz, who didn't allow a run after the third inning. Alaniz ran his record to 10-2 by giving up 7 hits and 7 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out 10 in a 126-pitch performance.
Garrido no doubt managed to muster at least a "good game" compliment to Alaniz after Randy Boone's save.
"I didn't talk to them," said Garrido, whose team is now 32-12 and 13-4 in Big 12 play. "I wanted to see what they would do on their own, how they would respond. I didn't want to have any influence or effect on them.
"They did great."
The Longhorns scored first in the top of the inning when Kyle Russell followed a Chance Wheeless single with a two-run opposite-field home run to left field. The Cornhuskers responded in the bottom of the inning by loading the bases with no outs, but managed only one run after a double play and a strikeout.
After the game, Alaniz admitted that escaping the first inning with minimal damage was critical.
"By far the double play was the biggest play of the game," Alaniz said. "I needed some help right there, and we were able to get the ground ball. Our defense played great."
Nebraska took a 4-2 lead in the third inning on Andrew Brown's two-run double, and he then scored on a wild pitch. Texas, however, answered quickly in the top of the fourth inning. Russell Moldenhauer and Nick People drew walks and Preston Clark loaded the bases with a bloop single.
Travis Tucker's groundout scored Moldenhauer and Michael Demperio produced his biggest hit of the year, a two-run single to centerfield. Prior to the game, Demperio had one run batted in for the season.
Moldenhauer played a crucial role again in the fifth when he smacked a double to score Russell and later scored himself on another Travis Tucker groundout, giving Texas a 7-4 lead. A Peoples' sacrifice fly gave Texas an insurance run in the ninth inning.
Boone retired all four batters he faced to get his 10th save of the season. Nebraska fell to 23-16 and 8-9 in the Big 12.
"The first three innings or so, I thought this was going to be a game where the team that had the last at-bat was going to win," Alaniz said. "But I just told myself, 'I really want this game.' We just didn't need to let this one get away from us."
Garrido might return with his gift of gab to the team, but as well as his mute button worked Saturday, he might just stay quiet again. Whatever the case, he likes his team's chances Sunday.
"Alaniz was brilliant from the fourth inning on," Garrido said. "We fought hard to get the momentum back on our side, and we'll be able to bring Randy back again Sunday. This was a big one for us."

Omark is doing well in Switzerland thou.
Yes because one player is what takes a team to the finals. Where do you come up with this stuff? You do know that Omark as a 21 year old was 3rd in SEL scoring losing the race by 4 points, right? Omark was very impressive in the SEL, so good he got an invite to the Swedish Olympic roster and is revered back in Sweden. Performance in the SEL is pretty even. In fact Omark's best season compared to Silfverberg is a one point difference in favor of Omark (they were also the same age), although Omark did have a worse ppg (in saying that Omark was also on a worse team). Silfverberg is probably the better player rather easily (he's much bigger) but you are very much ignoring how terrific Omark was in Sweden. Omark has had quality to elite production at times in every top league in the world from the SEL to KHL to AHL and even for half a season in the NHL. Heck he even kept pace with NHL stars in Switzerland this year (which in fairness you alluded to). Omark's production in adult leagues is just fine, you should have an easy argument here lets not get carried away by claiming there is some huge disparity in their play as pro's at this point.

FITZPATRICK, District Judge
Plaintiffs Thomas and Myra Waller in the above captioned action allege that the defendants proximately caused the wrongful death of their son Michael Jeffery Waller by inciting him to commit suicide through the music, lyrics, and subliminal messages contained in the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz." Defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing on their part and now have pending before the court a joint motion for summary judgment.
Plaintiffs filed their original complaint in this case on April 28, 1988, following the death of their son Michael Jeffery Waller on May 3, 1986, as the result of a self-inflicted pistol wound to his head.
Defendants Ozzy Osbourne, CBS Inc., and CBS RECORDS Inc., responded to the plaintiffs' complaint by moving the court to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) because it failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Before the court acted on the motion to dismiss, however, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend their complaint which the court authorized.
The modified complaint, (Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint), discarded the claim that the lyrics which allegedly incited their son to commit suicide were audible and perceptible and instead charged that those same lyrics represent a subliminal message that is consciously intelligible only when the music is electronically adjusted. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, ¶ 27. The amended complaint further alleges that as a result of the dissemination of the music, lyrics, and subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz," defendants are liable to the plaintiffs for causing the pain and suffering of their deceased son; inciting his wrongful death; encouraging persons to physically harm themselves or commit suicide; and engaging in fraud, invasion of privacy, and nuisance. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, ¶¶ 40-54.
Defendants responded to plaintiffs' amended complaint by filing a joint motion to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint as amended. In addressing defendants' motion to dismiss in an order dated July 20, 1989, the court distilled plaintiffs' complaint down to the dispositive issue of whether or not the alleged subliminal message actually existed and, if so, were the defendants nevertheless protected from liability by the first amendment to the United States Constitution. The court granted plaintiffs the opportunity to pursue that issue through discovery and therefore denied defendants' motion to dismiss with the proviso that upon the completion of discovery the motion could be renewed in the form of a summary judgment motion.
As the discovery phase of the case began, plaintiffs were confident that a subliminal message existed within a twenty-eight second interlude on the song "Suicide Solution."
The expert plaintiffs employed to examine the master tapes, Martin Hall, is a Santa Barbara High School graduate who has completed upper level history courses at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Hall Dep., p. 13. Mr. Hall is not an expert in mastering and mixing rock music, however, he had previously tested the commercial release of "Suicide Solution" for the plaintiffs in the case of McCollum v. CBS, Inc., 202 Cal.App.3d 989, 249 Cal.Rptr. 187 (1988). Hall Dep., p. 65. That examination of "Suicide Solution" by Mr. Hall led him to conclude that the song did not contain subliminal messages but rather something he identified as "preconscious suggestions." Hall Dep. exh. 21, p. 2. That is a term he uses to describe something which is not the same as a subliminal message since, according to Hall, a subliminal message is not audible while a preconscious suggestion can be heard though not necessarily understood. Hall Dep. exh. 18, p. 2.
The preconscious suggestions Mr. Hall found were a series of lyrics which are "clearly audible but mostly unintelligible."
In his role as an expert witness for the plaintiffs in this case, Mr. Hall was given the opportunity to confirm his guess work by inspecting master tapes of the album "Blizzard of Oz" which contains the song "Suicide Solution." After conducting tests on the master tapes, Mr. Hall did not find any subliminal messages in the song "Suicide Solution." In his report prepared for plaintiffs' attorney, Mr. Hall stated that the alleged subliminal lyrics are actually lyrics that are "preconscious, in that the vocal performance [of the lyrics in question] is audible (and is, therefore, not subliminal per se) but not immediately intelligible." Hall Dep. exh. 18, p. 2. The method of testing that plaintiffs in this case had assured the court on numerous occasions was the only means of confirming the existence of a subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution" determined with certainty that no subliminal messages existed anywhere on the entire tape.
Plaintiffs' other expert, Victoria Evans, a computer science lecturer who has no experience in music recording or sound engineering, attempted to identify subliminal messages in the song "Suicide Solution" through the use of a MacIntosh computer and a software package called DigiDesign AudioMedia. Evans Dep., pp. 20, 47-49. While Ms. Evans credits the computer system with enabling her to discover what she has labelled a subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution," the MacIntosh computer and the AudioMedia program did not, and could not, identify any of the words in the song; nor could it indicate any distinction between the lyrics and music contained on the record album. Evans Dep., pp. 51-52. The computer system assisted Ms. Evans by allowing her to copy the music onto a "sound file" and then slow it down so she could carefully listen to the lyrics. The only manner, however, in which Ms. Evans actually identified what she has labeled a subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution" was by literally hearing the words with her own ears. Evans Dep., p. 52. Those words Ms. Evans heard on "Suicide Solution," which she labelled as a subliminal message, are an almost identical listing of the words that plaintiffs initially identified as, and Mr. Hall currently claims are, audible lyrics.
Other than the expert witnesses Hall and Evans, plaintiffs produced two other affidavits in support of their case. The affidavits, however, fail to add any additional information not already provided by plaintiffs' other experts and merely indicate that they found lyrics in the song "Suicide Solution" unintelligible. Soon after those affidavits were taken, discovery in the case was closed and defendants filed the instant joint motion for summary judgment now before the court.
Rule 56(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows for the granting of summary judgment when "the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). Upon motion and after adequate time for discovery, Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment "against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552-53, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). A movant may discharge his burden by showing "that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party's case." Id. at 326, 106 S.Ct. at 2554.
In evaluating a summary judgment motion, the evidence and all factual inferences must be viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Thrasher v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., 734 F.2d 637, 638 (11th Cir.1984). "If a reasonable fact finder evaluating the evidence could draw more than one inference from the facts, and if that inference introduces a genuine issue of material fact, then the court should not grant the summary judgment motion." Samples on Behalf of Samples v. City of Atlanta, 846 F.2d 1328, 1330 (11th Cir.1988).
In determining whether or not the court should grant the joint summary judgment motion of the defendants in this case, the court must initially resolve the issue of whether, as a matter of law, the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz" contains subliminal messages as alleged by plaintiffs. The court finds this step necessary because it is convinced that the presence of a subliminal message, whose surreptitious nature makes it more akin to false and misleading commercial speech and other forms of speech extremely limited in their social value, would relegate the music containing such to a class worthy of little, if any, first amendment constitutional protection.
Plaintiffs attempt to establish the presence of subliminal messages in the song "Suicide Solution" contained on the "Blizzard of Oz" album primarily through the deposition testimony of two expert witnesses. Plaintiffs' expert, Mr Hall, however,
Plaintiffs' other expert, Ms. Evans, is equally unsuccessful in creating a genuine issue of fact since she contends that the lyrics in question are a subliminal message precisely because they are barely heard but not decipherable. Evans Dep., 59. While the court was unable to find a precise legal definition of a subliminal message, it is clear from the definition of subliminal that lyrics which are audible enough to make one consciously aware of their presence, though they may not necessarily be intelligible, do not qualify as a subliminal message.
According to Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, (1985 Edition), subliminal is actually defined as "inadequate to produce a sensation or perception" and "existing or functioning below the threshold of conscious awareness." Random House Dictionary (1987 Edition) defines subliminal as "existing or operating below the threshold of consciousness; being or employing stimuli insufficiently intense to produce a discrete sensation but often being or designed to be intense enough to influence the mental processes or the behavior of the individual." If, as defined, a subliminal message must exist below the threshold of conscious awareness then it must follow that lyrics distinct enough to be heard and reacted to — even though garbled or unclear, are not a subliminal message. The most important character of a subliminal message is that it sneaks into the brain while the listener is completely unaware that he has heard anything at all.
Possibly a visual subliminal message such as the words "eat popcorn" on a reel of movie film can be proved more easily than an audio one such as the one alleged here. If the film is stopped and one holds each frame up to the light somewhere there must be at least one frame that says "eat popcorn." Here, there is nothing that says what the plaintiffs contend unless one uses his imagination. Therefore, despite her desire to label the lyrics contained in the twenty eight second interlude on the song "Suicide Solution" a subliminal message, the fact that Ms. Evans found that those lyrics are audible means that she has proved just the opposite — that the lyrics are not a subliminal message.
Furthermore, honoring Ms. Evans definition of subliminal message would mean that all rock music, or any music for that matter, which contains unintelligible lyrics could be found to contain a subliminal message, thereby, subjecting an endless number of performers and producers to possible law suits. It would be an understatement to say such a ruling would open the flood gates of litigation.
Ms. Evans' expert opinion that the song "Suicide Solution" contains a subliminal message directly contradicts the opinion rendered by plaintiffs' other expert, Mr. Hall. Moreover, in light of the definition of subliminal and the manner in which she defines subliminal message, it is clear that her opinion lacks any credible support and as such fails to create a genuine issue of fact concerning whether the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz" contains subliminal messages. See American Key Corp. v. Cole National Corp., 762 F.2d 1569, 1580 (11th Cir.1985) ("An expert's
Plaintiffs have steadfastly predicted that given the opportunity to thoroughly examine the song "Suicide Solution" they would be able to prove the existence of a subliminal message in the song. After their experts were given an unrestricted opportunity to find a subliminal message in the music in question, however, plaintiffs have been unable to produce any evidence which creates a genuine issue of fact concerning whether the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz" contains a subliminal message. Plaintiffs have simply failed to produce any evidence from which one could even infer that there is a subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz."
The court noted in its order denying defendants' motion to dismiss that the plaintiffs would be hard-pressed to avoid summary judgment in this action absent the presence of a subliminal message in the music of the defendants. Such is the case because music
The first amendment protection that shields those who produce, perform, and distribute music is not however absolute. See Konigsberg v. State Bar of California, 366 U.S. 36, 49, 81 S.Ct. 997, 1005, 6 L.Ed.2d 105, reh. denied, 368 U.S. 869, 82 S.Ct. 21, 7 L.Ed.2d 69 (1961). Music legally classified as obscene
Plaintiffs contend that the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz" is properly categorized as speech which incites imminent lawless activity thereby depriving defendants of any legitimate claim to first amendment protection. The removal of first amendment protection from defendants' music on such a basis is contingent on a finding that it was "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." Brandenburg, 395 U.S. at 447, 89 S.Ct. at 1829. Subsequent Supreme Court decisions have further indicated that in making such a finding the primary focus of the court should be on the imminence of the threat. Hess v. Indiana, 414 U.S. 105, 94 S.Ct. 326, 38 L.Ed.2d 303 (1973).
In Hess, the Court was forced to decide whether an antiwar demonstrator's first amendment rights were violated when the state of Indiana arrested him for shouting, "We'll take the fucking street later [or again]," to a crowd the police were attempting to disperse. In upholding the demonstrator's first amendment right to
Id. at 108-09, 94 S.Ct. at 328 (citations omitted; emphasis in original).
A careful examination of the defendants' music in accordance with the test developed in Brandenburg and refined in Hess leads this court to conclude that the defendants did not engage in culpable incitement. There is no indication whatsoever that defendants' music was directed toward any particular person or group of persons. Moreover, there is no evidence that defendants' music was intended to produce acts of suicide, and likely to cause imminent acts of suicide;
Viewing the facts in a light most favorable to the plaintiffs, the song "Suicide Solution" can be perceived as asserting in a philosophical sense that suicide may be a viable option one should consider in certain circumstances. And a strong argument can certainly be made that in light of the almost epidemic proportion of teenage suicides now occurring in this country it is irresponsible and callous for a musician with a large teenage following such as Ozzy Osbourne to portray suicide in any manner other than a tragic occurrence. Nevertheless, an abstract discussion of the moral propriety or even moral necessity for a resort to suicide, is not the same as indicating to someone that he should commit suicide and encouraging him to take such action. See Noto v. United States, 367 U.S. 290, 297-98, 81 S.Ct. 1517, 1521, 6 L.Ed.2d 836 (1961). That, however, is what the law requires the plaintiffs to demonstrate in order to hold the defendants liable for inciting their son to commit suicide through the dissemination of their music. See Brandenburg, 395 U.S. at 448, 89 S.Ct. at 1830. Plaintiffs have made no such showing and have failed to demonstrate any manner in which defendants' music can be categorized as speech which incites imminent lawless activity. Accordingly, the court finds as a matter of law that defendants are protected by the first amendment from liability for culpable incitement.
Absent the allegation that defendants' music represents speech that incites imminent lawless activities, plaintiffs have no other plausible basis in this case upon which they can overcome the broad first amendment protection generally afforded speech in the form of music. Plaintiffs put forth other theories of liability such as negligence, nuisance, fraud, and invasion of privacy. However, all of those tort based theories, as asserted by plaintiffs, fail to overcome the defendants' imposition of a valid first amendment defense.
Numerous courts have pointed out that any attempt to impose tort liability on persons engaged in the dissemination of protected speech involves too great a risk of seriously chilling all free speech. In Walt Disney Productions, Inc. v. Shannon, 247 Ga. 402, 276 S.E.2d 580 (1981), the court found that the imposition of tort liability on defendants who were charged with broadcasting statements which invited children to engage in conduct that posed a foreseeable risk of injury would open a Pandora's box and chill the flow of protected speech. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals indicated in Herceg v. Hustler Magazine, Inc., 814 F.2d 1017, 1024 (5th Cir.1987), cert. denied, 485 U.S. 959, 108 S.Ct. 1219, 99 L.Ed.2d 420 (1988), that placing tort liability on some forms of protected speech would require the hopelessly complicated endeavor of differentiating between different categories of protected speech raising the possibility that "the worthiness of
In the case of Zamora v. Columbia Broadcasting System, 480 F.Supp. 199 (S.D.Fla.1979), plaintiffs urged the court to impose tort liability on the defendants for their negligent broadcast of violent shows which allegedly caused a susceptible minor to engage in unlawful conduct. In noting that the broadcasts represented speech which did not incite nor in any other way qualify for less than full constitutional protection, the court determined that plaintiffs were in essence asking the court to fashion a new cause of action for the dissemination of protected speech which caused "an untoward reaction on the part of any `susceptible' person." Id. at 206. The court in Zamora declined to take such a step asserting that it would be an unconstitutional imposition of a generally undefined and undefinable duty. Id.
Plaintiffs do cite the case of Weirum v. RKO General, Inc., 15 Cal.3d 40, 123 Cal.Rptr. 468, 539 P.2d 36 (1975), in which a wrongful death action was brought against a radio station for broadcasting promotional announcements encouraging listeners to race to a certain site, as supporting its argument that tort liability can and should be imposed in this action. The Weirum decision is distinguishable from the instant case, however, because the California Supreme Court never made a finding in the case that it was dealing with protected speech entitled to full first amendment protection.
In the final analysis, the court simply has no basis upon which to impose tort liability on the defendants when, as in this case, the alleged wrongful acts are based on the defendants' dissemination of protected speech. The court, therefore, finds as a matter of law that the defendants' first amendment rights protect them from being held liable under plaintiffs' claims of negligence, nuisance, fraud, and invasion of privacy.
In all candor the court must also observe that the lyrics of a great many songs that come under the heading of rock music seem to foster an outlook on life that emphasizes alienation, cynicism, rebellion, and futility.
Plaintiffs' case is predicated almost entirely upon the allegation that defendants incited their son to commit suicide by the use of a subliminal message in the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz." They asserted with confidence that a subliminal message did exist and if given the opportunity to test the master tapes of the song they could identify it. However, after being given every opportunity to find the subliminal message, using tests they stated were the only ways to confirm its existence, plaintiffs failed to present any evidence from which a reasonable fact finder could even infer that a subliminal message existed within the song "Suicide Solution" on the album "Blizzard of Oz."
Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate the existence of a subliminal message or that defendants' music incites imminent lawless activity, and were thereby left with the difficult task of attempting to impose liability on the defendants based on their dissemination
Having ruled on the matter before the court, this order cannot be signed without an expression of sympathy for the parents of Michael Jeffery Waller who have shown their devotion to his memory by the filing and prosecution of this lawsuit. The court has no doubt as to the sincerity of their motives in following through with what must be an extremely painful course of action. The death of anyone before he has had a full measure of life is tragic and especially so if the person is a much loved teenaged son. If the death is by suicide the pain and grief to those left behind is almost unbearable. Although the court must render all its decisions without regard to sympathy, that does not mean it loses its capacity to experience that emotion.
Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, defendants' Joint Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED as the court finds that there are no genuine issues of material fact concerning the claims put forth by plaintiffs in this action and defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
Plaintiffs' Complaint, ¶ 22.

Alefacept is a genetically engineered immunosuppressive drug. It was sold under the brand name Amevive in Canada, the United States, Israel, Switzerland and Australia. In 2011, the manufacturers made a decision to cease promotion, manufacturing, distribution and sales of Amevive during a supply disruption. According to Astellas Pharma US, Inc. (https://www.psoriasis.org/media/press-releases/amevive-alefacept-voluntarily-discontinued-us), the decision to cease Amevive sales was neither the result of any specific safety concern nor the result of any FDA-mandated or voluntary product recall. On the other hand, usage of Amevive was associated with a certain risk of development systemic diseases such as malignancies. This drug was never approved for the European drug market.
Alefacept is used to control inflammation in moderate to severe psoriasis with plaque formation, where it interferes with lymphocyte activation.[1] It is also being studied in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Alefacept is a fusion protein: it combines part of an antibody with a protein that blocks the growth of some types of T cells.
Mechanism of action[edit]
The mechanism of action involves dual mechanisms. Alefacept inhibits the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by interfering with CD2 on the T cell membrane thereby blocking the costimulatory molecule LFA-3/CD2 interaction. Another mechanism is inducing apoptosis of memory-effector T lymphocytes. If the T cells were to become activated they would stimulate proliferation of keratinocytes resulting in the typical psoriatic symptoms. Therefore, alefacept leads to clinical improvement of moderate to severe psoriasis by blunting these reactions. Combinations of therapeutic modalities have been utilized to meet the challenge of difficult to treat psoriasis.[2]
Alefacept is indicated for the management of patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. The concomitant use of low-potency topical corticosteroids was permitted during the treatment phase with alefacept and does not seem to pose any additional risks.
The drug was approved based upon studies involving 1,869 patients altogether with plaques covering at least 10% of body surface. Either 7.5 mg IV or 15 mg IM once a week were applied. The long-term results (reduction of at least 75% in pretreatment PASI scores) were 14% and 21%, respectively. Additional improvements ensuing after completion of the 12-week treatment phase or after completion of a second alefacept treatment were also seen. Often the remissions were maintained for 7 to 12 months after end of treatment.
Contraindications and precautions[edit]
- Alefacept reduces CD4+ T cell counts and may worsen the clinical course of HIV infections. It is therefore contraindicated in patients with HIV infections.
- Pretreatment CD4+ and/or CD8+ cell counts below the accepted lower limit
- History of systemic malignancy
- Caution: Patients at high risk to develop a systemic malignancy
- Known hypersensitivity to alefacept or to any other ingredient of the preparation
- Caution: There is little experience in geriatric patients (65 years of age or older); so far no differences to the younger age group have been noted.
Pregnancy and lactation[edit]
- Alefacept has been assigned to Pregnancy Category B in the US and to C in Australia.
- Lactation : It is not known if the drug is excreted into human milk. Either the drug or breastfeeding should be terminated, taking into account the importance of treatment to the mother.
Pediatric patients[edit]
No clinical experience exists in patients under 18 years of age. The drug should therefore not be used in pediatric patients.
Side effects[edit]
- Lymphopenia : Most common in clinical trials was a significant and dose-related reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ counts in 10 to 59% of patients. However, only 0 to 2% of patients experienced reductions below the accepted lower limit. Consequences of lymphopenia may be infections and/or treatment related malignancies (see below).
- Malignancies : In clinical studies among 1,869 patients 63 treatment-emerged malignancies in 43 patients were observed. Most of these were nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancers, other solid tumors, and lymphomas.
- Infections : In clinical studies 0.9% of patients experienced significant infections compared to 0.2% in the placebo group. Among the infections were serious ones such as sepsis, pneumonia, abscesses, wound infections and toxic shock syndrome.
- Sensitivity reactions: Urticaria and angioedema were observed. If an anaphylactic reaction should occur symptomatic treatment should be initiated at once.
- Forming of antibodies to alefacept : About 3% of patients developed low-titer antibodies with unknown importance for the clinical efficiency of the drug. Long-term immune effects have not been well explored.
- Hepatic Toxicity : Postmarketing reports revealed asymtomatic increases in transaminases (ALT and/or AST), fatty liver degeneration, decompensation of preexisting liver cirrhosis, and acute treatment-related liver failure. It is not known if some or all of these manifestations are attributable to alefacept-therapy, but it is recommended to discontinue therapy as soon as any sign of liver toxicity develops.
- Different Common Side Effects : side effects such as pharyngitis, cough, dizziness, nausea, pruritus, myalgias, chills, and reactions at injection sites were observed quite frequently.
- Patients currently undergoing immunosuppressive therapy (phototherapy, or concomitant application of other immunosuppressant agents) should not receive alefacept to avoid the risks of excessive immunosuppression. Studies concerning the combination with cyclosporine or methotrexate are conducted, but no results have been published so far.
- Live vaccines: The efficiency of concomitant application of live vaccines has not been fully examined yet. However, the effect of tetanus toxoid was well preserved in clinical trials.
Necessary laboratory examinations[edit]
- CD4+ cell counts should be obtained before initiation of therapy and during the 12-week course of therapy in intervals of 2 weeks.
- It may be desirable to monitor liver function studies (AST and ALT) in patients at high risk to develop liver toxicity (e.g., preexisting hepatitis, or high daily consumption of alcohol).
Dosage regimens[edit]
The standard dosage regimen is the weekly application of either 7.5 mg IV or 15 mg IM for a course of 12 weeks. The benefits and risks of repeated courses have not been explored in sufficient detail. Therapy should be conducted under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of immunosuppressant agents.

Cell Phone Repair - The Reasons to Bring it to a Reputable Repair Shop
Mobile phones are truly very important these days, which is not only for the ones that are in the business industry, but also for the ones that are at home and also at school. Mobile phones are not just for taking pictures and also checking online, but is also important in contacting someone in case of emergencies. This is why they are really recommended for people to have their very own mobile phone and to bring it with them. But there could be some cases to where your mobile phone gets damaged and once this is broken, it will be unusable.
There are different options that are available when this happens. You could either purchase a new unit or attempt in fixing the phone yourself or simply bring it to a reputable phone repair shop. For a lot of people, buying new phones is one that's most convenient. But, the budget may take a huge hit or the damage may not be worth the cost of buying a new unit. There is also the sentimental factor where the unit is either given to you by a particular loved one or you have saved money in order to buy it, which is why disposing it can be hard to do for you.
In case your mobile phone is not any more covered by a warranty, you could be tempted to consider phone repairs. Most people actually finds different online resources that serves as a guide for such task. However, before you attempt iPhone repairs, you need to know that there are several caveats. It is possible that you could void the warranty of the phone. Also, you need to have the right tools needed for the job. When you attempt to repair your iPhone with any tool, you may not end up with the result that you want. You will also need to look for the parts yourself to where many of it may not be available readily to any average consumer. Some of the parts could be secured from some online shops and you also need to consider if the cost involved will include shipping and whether this is worth it.
Before you try to repair your cell phone yourself, you should first ask yourself whether you are ready on the cost and the possible outcome of it. But when you wish to get assurance, you should opt taking your broken or damaged cell phone to a reputable cell phone repair shop.

Elizabeth St. Garden
Now actor Gabriel Byrne offers his support in a new video by Simon J. Heath.
Byrne has a place on Elizabeth--he bought a $3 million condo at the newly constructed 211 Elizabeth in 2010.
The garden has been here since 1991. It's the place where the Elizabeth Street Gallery keeps its sculptures--antique angels, lions, gargoyles. Locked for many years, it opened to the public some time ago, after the gallery took over the space long occupied by La Rosa & Sons Bakery, back when "Nolita" was still considered Little Italy.
Watch the video here, in which Byrne quotes W.B. Yeats:
You can weigh in on the issue at the LMDC Hearing this Thursday, Sept. 17, 4:30 – 7 p.m., at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, Fiterman Hall, 245 Greenwich St., 13th Floor.

Good morning.
While your blog is amazing and casts a loving eye at the Vanishing uniqueness of New York, it is misleading and basically incorrect information about this space. The "garden" as it exists now was formed in June 2013; it was never a functioning "garden" until the current group shared the stewardship of the lot with the antique store. This was a private event space and parking lot up until 2 years ago.
The press around this site may be building a "story" to make it feel like it's a long-existing gem being lost. However, it does a huge disservice to community gardeners all over the city who really did the heavy lifting in our communities to make spaces out of nothing.

A celebrity with a 4 million dollar apartment who just moved here is now added to the well-funded PR campaign by the uber-monied (whose coming has meant the removal of much of the low-income community that was here). We didn't 'get' that this was a garden. We thought it was an architectural artifacts depot, private parking lot and luxury party rental. Maybe because it didn't open until 2013 when the leasee caught wind that it was to be developed for affordable housing?
But yes, as Mr. Byrne says, "How we look after the vulnerable, how we look after our children… these are the marks of what it means to be a compassionate society." Yes to thinking about the "spiritual life" of a community. Well said!
So….how about the over 3000 children in shelter or doubled up who live in this school district? Or the 57,000 homeless people in NYC? Or the young people who don't have parents who can fund their time in NY? Or the one-in-five elders who live in poverty? Or the people who don't have $4 million dollars to 'buy back in' here? Or who don't have three homes to pick from? Or who don't get vacations or have country homes? Do they get our compassion too? Got spiritual guidance for this crowd?
For many this is "a" place, but for others this would be "the" place- their ONLY home.
The offered site on Hudson in a high-rise, Holland Tunnel-traffic, office and luxury housing area. No grocery stores (okay there's a dunkin donuts) - not even high-end ones. In this neighborhood older Italians, Chinese and others still live who will need an elevator building if they are to stay in the neighborhoods they built.
There are still those of us in this neighborhood who would welcome low-income neighbors to have homes here – even at the cost of losing this site – and that is hard I know. Then again, you could walk 2 and 1/2 blocks to find Liz Christie Garden and the M'Finda Kalunga Garden, but that would mean walking east. Into a low-income neighborhood. Like this used to be.
Vanishing New York isn't just about the buildings or stores. It's also about vanishing neighbors and cultures.
I love Yeats. Here's a poem from Langston Hughes in return:
"I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, why Democracy means, everybody but me."

I love how the two above commenters, who partake in community gardens themselves, are loathe to have anyone else enjoy such an amenity.
What difference does it make when the garden was opened! It exists and should remain existing. Moreover, although for many years it may not have been open to the public, the beautiful sculpture garden was a delight to passers-by and neighborhood residents alike.
Worse, the two haters of ESG do not even live in CB2. They are members of CB3, close to the disgraced Gigi Li, Queen of Election Frauds,https://www.google.com/search?q=gigi+li+fraud&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 . Gigi Li was being groomed by Margaret Chin to succeed her, until the fraud scandal broke.
K Wester owes her appointment on CB3 to Margaret Chin, who is pushing the destruction of this beautiful urban oasis to benefit real estate developers. One hand washes the other.
These two are Chin defenders and mouthpieces: Chin who sold out the Village to NYU, sold out SoHo to the Business Improvement District, sold out 135 Bowery (an 1807 landmarked bldg) to an overseas campaign contributor; sold out the South St. Seaport until Gale Brewer read her the Riot Act, took $400,000 from the Real Estate Board of NY, Etc, etc.
It is clear which position is righteous and which is not? Are you on Chin's and the developer's side, or are you on the people's side?

Wow, Toree Hill - it must be nice to see the world as such a black and white thing, particularly when you call black "white," and white "black."
You ask "Are you on Chin's and the developer's side, or are you on the people's side?" as though "the people" really means "the common man," when you really mean the rich denizens of downtown (like Gabriel Byrne) who are utterly LOATHE to see poor people living among them.
To claim that there is insufficient green space in the area totally ignores the enormous park that runs from Canal to Houston between Chrystie and Forsyth mere blocks away.
I love a community garden. This one, however, does smack of "not in my neighborhood" strategy, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if it went private again, after the plan to develop affordable housing got shot down.
Although I really don't care much what happens on Elizabeth Street, I lean toward the belief that "the people" will be better served with affordable (NOT luxury) housing in this instance.

With developers "clearing " traditional NYC neighborhoods to develop housing for the "rich & famous" , rents are skyrocketing, long term residents are being forced to move and unique neighborhoods are turned into brand name store fronts. As of August 2015, the AVERAGE monthly rent in Manhattan is $3,975 ($47,700 annually), with the least expensive at $1,750 a month ($21,000 annually). Bottom line, if you are monied, you can " live" in NYC, if you are middleclass or poor, you can live " hand-to-mouth" in NYC, if you're lucky !

Who deserves what? This is always a difficult question to answer. People need apartments, especially "affordable" housing. Then again, people need parks and open spaces and gardens and they were there first, it is there now, why destroy such a wonderful thing etc ,etc. After seeing the video my conclusion is that this is a lovely place, a symbol of some caring group of people. It is shared with the community. But do they deserve it? I don't don't know enough to know. Wish I did. It really pulls on your heart strings.

This garden was always a destination, even for us just walking by. Beautiful, space-creating and a piece of stone literature.
Really sad to see it go the way of glass, steel, and box uniformity.

Dear Toree. I live in CB2 right around the corner. I've disagreed with Margaret Chin on the LaGuardia Gardens and 135 Bowery -but I do appreciate her willingness to fight for affordable housing. I don't "partake" in a community garden, I work- in three of them. And therein lies the difference. When we couldn't get into this space we found and joined others who were building gardens. Rolled up our sleeves and worked. The folks who came upon this manicured showroom for the expensive artifact purveyor have every right to want this amenity in their backyard. But this is can be %100 affordable. And as much as I value plants and beauty if I have to choose between the people who need housing now, I'm going to choose those in need.
And if I am 'selling out' I sure wish I knew when the first check was coming.

This Mother of Daughters Wants You to Teach Your Son How to be a Good Man
As the mother of three children, two girls and a boy, I have tried my best to instill good values and manners into them. But when my teenage daughter started dating her boyfriend, I started to see things in an entirely new perspective when it comes to raising my son.
While many people think of fathers as the parent boyfriends have to watch out for, in our home, I am the one boys need to be aware of. I always told my daughter that if a boy hurt her in any way, shape or form, he would have to answer to me, and I would not be kind.
In fact, when my daughter and her boyfriend took off to the prom in the limousine, I warned him that if he did anything to hurt her, I would come after him.
My daughter was not pleased when he repeated my words to her, but honestly, she should not have been surprised.
Overall, he is a nice kid, but I figure there will be more boys in her future before she meets the man she will marry. It is my hope that the parents of these boys teach their sons a few lessons on how to be a good man.
Teach Your Son to Do Things for Himself
A friend of mine, who is a highly successful business executive, recently told me the story of how her eighteen year old son had breakfast and then left the table, expecting her to put his dishes in the dishwasher for him. She was really upset and wondered what she had done wrong.
At a young age, both boys and girls need to do things for themselves. As a preschool educator, the children in the school where I teach are expected to do chores around the classroom, like hold doors, clean up toys, and put their plates and cups in the trash when snack time is over. This should not stop at home simply because it is easier to do it yourself than to nag your child to do it.
Another friend of mine has a son who will not put his dirty clothes in the hamper that is right inside his room! Her solution was to stop washing his clothes until he had a fit about having nothing to wear. It taught him a lesson that she is not his personal cleaning service.
I do not want my daughters picking up after your sons. They should know to do their share of the chores and to clean up after themselves. I am not raising my girls to be your sons' maids.Credit: http://mrg.bz/9IRgzh

Create Hunger in Your Sons
It's not food that I am talking about here
Many of the most successful people that I know in my real world personal life came from humble beginnings. Their parents worked jobs that either required no college education or the jobs the did have were in low paying fields like social work and education. My friends and their spouses worked all through high school and college because extra money from their parents was not available.
My friends strived to do better. Loans were taken out for college. They earned degrees in high paying fields and over the years, either opened their own businesses or worked their way up into high level positions.
They were "hungry" with an "eye of the tiger" for achieving more.
Now my successful friends give everything to their children. They do not work, and when they need money to take a girlfriend out on a date, it is handed to them. Going out for the night with friends, buying designer clothing, going to concerts at $80 or more a ticket, all of this is simply given to their sons.
These boys are not hungry. They have not learned to fend for themselves and are expecting handouts. Is this the kind of person I want my daughter to spend the rest of her life with?
One winter day last year, my daughter came home from school and told me the story of a boy in her homeroom class. He was bragging how he had made $300 shoveling snow the previous day, when school was cancelled due to the weather. Unlike the pampered princes who live in my neighborhood, who have Daddy use the snow blower to clean up the driveway and sidewalks, this young man had to shovel it himself. He saw an opportunity and seized it!
I told my daughter that is the kind of boy I want her to marry. How I wished that the boys in my neighborhood would be that motivated! I do not like to shovel snow and would gladly pay someone to do it for me.
I am not saying that if you can afford things for your sons not to give it to them, but make them work for some of the things they want to have. If you can afford to buy them a car, make them come up with half the money or at least pay for the gas they put into the tank. Unless you plan on supporting them one day, how else will they learn the satisfaction of earning a day's pay for a day's work?

Teach Your Son How to Treat a Woman
I will always remember how my father helped my mother on with her coat, how he pulled out a chair for her and held a door open for her to walk through. These were the signs of a true gentleman.
Does your son have any idea what chivalry is? Have you taught him to open the car door for his lady first, to hold the door open for her, or to offer to drop her off in front of the restaurant when it is pouring rain or at least offer her an umbrella?
Maybe these ideas seem a bit outdated to some of you, but in my eyes are the signs of a man with class.
And by the way, a man never raises his hand to a woman or belittles her and makes her feel less than. If I even get an inkling that a boy is behaving that way towards my daughters, he had better watch out.
If your son treats with my daughters with respect and kindness, if he can earn a living without needing financial support from Mommy and Daddy, and he can use a hammer as well as he can run a vacuum, then he can date my daughters. If not, don't come knocking on my front door.`

Hearty beef casserole with a delicious meaty gravy that goes great with mashed potatoes or crusty buttered bread. Perfect winter dish to feed the whole family.
Portion into several oven proof bowls and top with puff pastry to make awesome individual pot pies!
Add 2 tablespoons of cornflour mixed with a little water and stir through for the last 5 mins of cooking for a thicker gravy.
This recipe was called beef and beer casserole when I were young. You can use any beer instead of stout so long as you use a tall'y (Aussie) or a normal bottle of beer (NZ) just don't add the water. Also any veggie that you would chuck into a stew will be great. This is an easy but very tasty dish. Nice to see old recipe's being enjoyed today. - 19 Jun 2011

This morning I woke up feeling great, not the same story for everyone else after last night. The morning was nice and relaxed which we all needed. It was a good day to hang around the hostel as the wind was relentless. After a late gyros lunch our group walked down to the beach to go speed boating. Our first stop was at a small cave in the middle of no where. We had to swim from the boat which was about 40m away. I was ...

Thennnnnn my phone falls on the ground and the screen gets all smashed and now I'm like soooooo over the day that I went to bed at 8:30 or something ridiculous.

The only problem was the wind because the sand would just fly everywhere.

Instead we ...

Being a resilient and superior human being I had recovered by the next morning! I went down to the beach at the resort and chilled out, and then we bused it into the Mykonos town to have a look that afternoon. That night, feeling somewhat better, we got together and went out for a couple drinks with the Busabout group but again had a fairly early night.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I prefer fried, but the doctor says grilled. Also, I guess you can grill over hickory, so you get smoked. I'm happy about grilled again!
i'm allergic.
I can't eat the vast majority of breaded coatings. I go with grilled, which I suppose is healthier anyway.
I'm surprised at how close this poll is given the vast superiority of fried. That said, grilled can be good too.
Both have there places. When I eat at home, mostly grilled - I hate dealing with frying chicken. Eating out, I like fried more (probably because I get it a lot less).
Fried. Fried all the way.
My taste buds say fried, my scales say grilled.
I more towards baked myself
Chicken and Waffles.
With a side of collards.
And a giant iced tea/lemonade mix.
That is all.
Are you asking which is yummier or which we're supposed to be eating?

5. Dwayne Bravo has the best bowling figures among India-WI clashes in WT20. He took 4/38 in 2009 at Lord's
6. The venue for Thursday's semi-final, Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium was the ground where India won the 2011 World Cup, beating Sri Lanka in the final
7. India are playing in their 3rd WT20 semi-final. They won both their past last-four encounters. In 2007 they won the trophy but in the last edition in 2014, they were beaten by Sri Lanka in the title clash
8. West Indies are playing in their 4th WT20 semi-final. They lost 2 (2009, 2014) and won 1 (2012, went on to win the trophy).
9. If India win the semi-final in Mumbai, they will be the second team in WT20 history to reach 3 finals (Past 2 - 2007, 2014). Sri Lanka hold the current record with 3 finals (2009, 2012, 2014)
10. Dhoni will create history if he takes India to the final. No captain has played in 3 WT20 finals
