Colonial Williamsburg Found. v. Rogers, Civ. A. No. 4:00CV45 (E.D. Va. Apr. 20, 2000) (order granting temporary restraining order); Civ. A. No. 4:00CV45 (E.D. Va. May 16, 2000) (order granting preliminary injunction).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, filed suit for trademark infringement and cybersquatting under the ACPA against Gilinda Rogers to enjoin her from transferring the domain names "colonial-williamsburg.com" and "colonialwilliamsburg.com" to Hotel & Restaurant Employees Local 25, a union entangled in a labor dispute with plaintiff. Defendant, an alleged professional cybersquatter who owns over 1,200 domain names, allowed the union to use the "colonial-williamsburg.com" site to post content about the labor dispute and agreed to transfer both domain names to the union for $1 plus transfer costs.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
In granting the temporary restraining order and the preliminary injunction, the court held that: (1) allowing the union to use the domain name "colonial-williamsburg.com," the potential use by others of the domain name "colonialwillaimsburg.com," and defendant's efforts to transfer both domain names to the union would likely cause irreparable harm to plaintiff; (2) plaintiff had a strong likelihood of succeeding on the merits; (3) issuance of the injunctive relief would not cause defendant or the union to suffer any serious harm or consequences; and (4) injunctive relief would protect the public interest by preventing the likelihood of consumer confusion.
The preliminary injunction enjoined defendant from cancelling, transferring, or making changes to the domain names "colonial-williamsburg.com" and "colonialwilliamsburg.com," and enjoined defendant from using, allowing others to use, registering, misappropriating, or trafficking in these two domain names or any other domain names or marks "colorably similar" to plaintiff's federally registered "Colonial Williamsburg" trademark.

Australian News of 2006
Console launch years are always big-news years. Things are winding down on the last generation of hardware - PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube - and the hype train finally rolls into the station as a new wave of gaming technology graces store shelves around the world. But what else happened? And, more specifically, how much did Aussies help shape the industry this year? Join us as we take a stroll down memory lane to examine some of the bigger Aussie headlines this year.
Xbox 360 (Finally) Gets Released
After a significant delay from the American and Japanese launch in November 2005, the March 2006 launch of the Xbox 360 in Australia went off with a bang. There were parties and campouts nation-wide, with the official launch residing in Pitt Street, Sydney. The 360 shifted roughly 30,000 units within days of launch, and it was not until the launch of the Wii in December that this record-setting figure would be broken.
Interestingly, the Xbox 360's game-attach rate (that is, the number of games purchased alongside each console) is extremely high, with buyers averaging more than 4.8 games for each system. Will the PS3 garner similar or greater success when it lands in March 2007? We're as curious as you are.
After an astoundingly rough-riding year for Sony Computer Entertainment - with hardware criticism, high prices, shortages and mixed reactions from gamers and the media, it only came as a half-hearted surprised that Sony decided to cut their losses and hold off the release of the PS3 in Europe and Australia, amongst other nations.
The implications are interesting, leaving the lucrative Christmas season at the mercy of the Xbox 360 and Wii while Sony is competing though the large range of games and availability of the PS2 hardware. It should be interesting to see if the delay actually improves the performance of any of the PS3's launch titles in time for the local release.Wii Lands Down Under... on Time
The underdog with the DS Trojan horse, Nintendo's Wii launched within weeks of the American and Japanese launches. This made it the only company of the three to pull off a worldwide hardware launch - albeit with some shortages and teething problems experienced. And the teething problems were as unique to the system as the controller itself - gamers injuring themselves and destroying television sets after losing grip of their Wii remotes or through a faulty wrist-strap breaking under the strain.
However, this hasn't dampened sales and continued demand. The unit went on to break the console sales-record in Australia (set by the Xbox 360) by more than 2000 units. The system is still scarce on shelves in Australia, as well as overseas. This has left the door open to more established hardware to fill in the gaps under Christmas trees for some families.
It's been a year of continued OFLC controversy, too, with several games being denied release in Australia. Two of the three, Reservoir Dogs and Marc Ecko's Getting up, were legitimately held back by the OFLC, whereas Rule of Rose was voluntarily kept from local release by the developer, to avoid undue controversy and further negative press.
It's debatable whether or not gamers should really care, specifically, about these games. Their quality is as questionable as their content, so perhaps this kind of imposition on our freedom of choice is a blessing in disguise. Then again, as the national average age for gamers sits comfortably in the low-to-mid 20s, the lack of an 'R' rating is still a blotch on our games-rating environment. We'd love to see 2007 bring such a ratings shift, but we're not holding our breath.
For several years now, the mod-chipping scene has been under intense scrutiny. The freedom to circumvent PAL or NTSC region restrictions is viewed as a major force for mod-chip installation, as is most chips' inherent ability to play burnt discs, ROMs or otherwise pirated software. Most recently, the High Court of Australia ruled that mod-chipping for the purpose of gaining access to overseas (NTSC) content was a legal practice, flying in the face of past notions. The court felt that by the time a mod chip is used on a copied game, the copyright violation has already taken place; the mod chip is not responsible for the copyright violation.
We can appreciate why game developers care as strongly as they do about the issue - the cost to their bottom line is big enough to make mod-chipping an issue worth fighting against. But the continual release of slower, sometime technically inferior PAL versions of games has seen chippers doing brisk business to circumvent region encoding. Until PAL and NTSC region division is scrapped, we can't see an end to mod-chipping.
Team Bondi and L.A. Noire Surface
Founded by SCE's Team Soho veteran Brendan McNamara, of The Getaway notoriety, Team Bondi recently made headlines around the world for their partnering with Rockstar for its' next-gen crime game, L.A. Noire. This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and high-profile titles being worked on in Australia at the moment, and having a Rockstar 'R' logo on your game case is a license to print money.
Although the game's content is currently top-secret, we know that the game touts some advanced facial animation systems to convey whether a character is telling the truth or is full of malarkey. The game is set in the 1940's, seemingly pulled from the pages of a Raymond Chandler story. We're definitely excited that such a title is not only being developed on our shores, but that Rockstar has seen fit to give them backing. Stay tuned.
Pandemic Expands and the Rise of Oz Game Development
Pandemic, makers of the enjoyable sci-fi romp, Destroy All Humans! and its sequel, expanded its offices to make way for next-gen development teams. This isn't huge news in and of itself, but the implications are interesting. Other studios have since announced expansions and incorporations, showing signs that not only is game development alive and well in Australia, but major projects are being undertaken.
If that was exciting news, the acquisition of Melbourne House by Krome Studios was a bombshell. This move has made Krome the largest independent studio in Australia, and from what we can gather it will have some large announcements in store for 2007.
This is good news for an industry that was once scraping by on handheld game titles and low-key PC games. Finally, Australian companies such as IR Gurus, Blue Tongue, Auran, Pandemic, Team Bondi, Irrational and many others are releasing titles that look and play every bit as well as their internationally developed brethren.
After 16 years in the Australian gaming marketplace as an Aussie-owned and operated alternative to EB, Gameswizards was purchased for $3.8 Million by The Game Group in the UK. As the story goes, the bargain price with which control was relinquished from the owners is due to spiralling debts, and the buy-out figure seems more like a bail-out.
Selling under the GAME brand in the UK, the new parent company hasn't seen fit to rebrand the company to the UK name. However, since the buyout, Gameswizards plans to continue to expand, with dozens of new stores opening by the end of 2007. Alongside the loss of Vegemite, it's sad to see another Aussie brand landing in foreign hands.
You didn't think you'd get away without paying ourselves a little bit of acclaim did you? Mid-November saw the launch of IGN's Australian office - following on from the launch of the UK office. With just two diligent employees, we have been plotting a course through the rough seas of gaming journalism in Australia, and we're loving every minute of it.

I've been saying it is the Island that is evil, look at it's leaders, look at their radical embrace of "the ends justify the means"... but "Follow The Leader" changed that. Richard is not a sure shepard. Ben didn't ever actually see Jacob (well, we don't know but I love that it's raised)... in other words, these people doing things because "jacob" said so... were just being manipulative in Ben's case. That's how it always struck me. I'd never follow the man I never met, told to me by some religious master... and I would not believe the ends justifies the means... that someone that does what Ben does could be doing it for the greater good.
But now, it's just possible, the island fell under the control of evil people, since, finally, the narrative allows that interpretation within the story, as opposed to appearing to endorse all that evil, torture, and violent immorality.
I still think Richard seems good though, but who knows, that might be out the window too, I guess we'll have to see.

Breast Implant Size is the Most Common Reason For Revision Breast Augmentation
That being said, breast implant size change is the most common reason for revision and is a very easy procedure which may require a change to a higher profile implant for added volume with similar implant widths.

Semtech LoRa Picocell Gateway Platform Brings Smart IoT Applications to Homes and Small Businesses
New LoRa reference design extends LoRaWAN™ network coverage to hard-to-reach indoor areas enabling IoT deployment scalability
Camarillo, California - November 29, 2016
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the availability of its new LoRa multi-band picocell reference design for a variety of indoor applications. Leading consumer and enterprise equipment manufacturers are currently testing the LoRa picocell reference design, using Semtech's new SX1308 picocell gateway IC coupled with a SX1255 or SX1257 LoRa® RF transceiver, and are expected to help bring low cost LoRaWAN networks to market for consumers and private enterprises. The LoRa picocell gateway will be branded and sold by the equipment manufacturers and is expected to be available by mid-January 2017.
The LoRa picocell reference design provides equipment manufacturers the critical tools to test Internet of Things (IoT) applications for private use and is expected to help accelerate adoption of IoT technology into next-generation smart applications, such as smart appliances, smart thermostats, door/window monitors, and other equipment used in-home by consumers, and meters, security systems and inventory management systems for small businesses.
"This new LoRa picocell gateway complements the robust LoRaWAN infrastructure by providing a low cost, easily adoptable IoT platform for use in homes, small businesses and buildings," said Vivek Mohan, Director of Wireless Products for Semtech's Wireless and Sensing Products Group. "The influx of LoRaWAN network rollouts throughout the world is making IoT more prevalent in everyday consumer applications, and this picocell gateway platform supplements the existing public LoRaWAN network infrastructure by providing coverage in hard-to-reach indoor areas."
Semtech's LoRa picocell reference design offers a USB interface for low power gateway designs and connects thousands of sensors in a building or residential community within a range of one mile for outdoor sensor connectivity. It can simultaneously receive LoRa and FSK messages on multiple channels with an excellent -139dBm sensitivity. The SX1308 is designed to be footprint compatible with the SX1301 data concentrator to simplify the gateway design effort and to support an operating temperature range of 0-70 Celsius. The LoRaWAN picocell network will interoperate with any surrounding LoRaWAN infrastructure and complement existing WiFi networks for cloud connectivity. Selling pricing for the LoRa picocell gateway through equipment manufacturers is expected to be less than $100 for fully certified products.
Semtech is a member of the LoRa Alliance™, a group of more than 400 companies committed to driving and enhancing the LoRaWAN specification to ensure interoperability and scalability of LPWANs and IoT applications. Through its work with member companies and IoT industry groups, the LoRa Alliance is making LoRaWAN the standard for LPWANs focused on low-power, long-range IoT applications. To date, there are LoRaWAN public and private networks in more than 50 countries worldwide.

One-of-a-Kind Profit Tool
For the last four years, Chief Research Analyst Sid Riggs has been researching, back testing, and digging through more than a decade of small-cap stock activity. Today, what he's found could be the difference between a bare-bones retirement, or living the life and retirement of your dreams.
Sid has uncovered a rare niche of small-cap stocks – called "sleepers"- that generate phenomenal, inexplicable profits. Few investors know these stocks exist, but they can turn every $500 invested into as much as $20,000 or more in just a few months.
It's all because these "sleepers" do something that no other type of stock ever has.
They actually emit an obscure "signal," in real time, right from the stock itself, and right as the stock is on the verge of soaring.
Nobody else on the planet has any idea this signal even exists.
Nobody else sees this signal because no one else has committed their life to studying small-caps like Sid has.
His strategy, The Small-Cap Rocket Alert, is the only way to detect the profit trigger in real time.
Knowing how to take full advantage of this rare signal can not only park you at the front of the gain-grabbing line at the perfect time, but it can also change your life. And by getting in at the earliest possible moment, you set yourself up to capture maximum gains every time, like:
+776.6% on Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) in just five months
+850.8% in four months with Eleven Biotherapeutics (EBIO)
+1,042.28% on mCig, Inc. (MCIG) in four months, and;
+445.8% on Sophiris Bio Inc. (SPHS) in just 52 days
Instead of worrying about missing the boat and leaving profits on the table, The Small-Cap Rocket Alert puts you in the best position to make up to 100x more money than any other investor in the market. It's a strategy that gets you in before ordinary investors, institutional money, and even the Wall Street insiders.
Here's how it works, and why it's unlike any other service available today:
EASY PACE: Safely Build Wealth over Several Months, at an Easy Pace:
With The Small-Cap Rocket Alert, you build wealth fast, but not in a frenzy.
The average holding time for any stock is around seven months, so you never need to be glued to your email for fear of missing last minute updates that could cost you thousands. You never have to make split second buying or selling decisions.
You'll enjoy clear, easy, step-by-step guidance to a few recommended transactions at an enjoyable pace.
CONSISTENT WINNERS: No one else can find the "launch alarm" signal that practically ensures opportunities for winning results.
Only The Small-Cap Rocket Alert identifies stocks that tell you before they're about to pop. That means you'll always know how to position yourself for massive earnings potential … even when the markets and larger stocks take repeated hits.
MAXIMIZED PROFITS: By the time everyone else discovers these stocks, you could be selling to them for maximum profits.
The Small-Cap Rocket Alert guides you to potential winners long before others even know they exist.
You can just sit back and watch as the insiders, the institutional investors and the general public run the price … and your profits … through the roof.
MINIMIZED RISK: Only invest in stocks priced less than $10 per share.
By focusing only on "rocket stocks," typically priced at less than $10 a share, your exposure is significantly reduced. And even tiny price jumps on these gems can produce sky-high returns for you.
MANAGEABLE: Only hold a handful of stocks at a time. Only a tiny fraction of stocks meet Sid's proven The Small-Cap Rocket Alert strategy criteria. So following his recommendations, you'll only hear about a handful of trades each month.
The Small-Cap Rocket Alert is easy to watch, easy to manage, and makes it easy to outgain just about everybody else with profits like these.
What Sid is following now...
The "launch alert" has already appeared in four small-cap sleepers…
- A biotech stock that returned 456% after Sid recommended it, and still holds plenty of promise for investors as it continues to bring breakthrough treatments to market to alleviate side effect symptoms of treatments for common mental health disorders like schizophrenia.
- The company positioned to become China's biggest supplier of solar panels as the Red Dragon gets ready to spend an estimated $364 billion on solar power installation.
- A clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, focused on discovering and developing novel cellular immunotherapies that has not one but three treatment candidates pending FDA approval that could cause the stock to soar.
- A recognized leader in data security that could harness a $700 billion trend towards cybersecurity spending in the next two years.
The Small-Cap Rocket Alert is a rare and exceptional opportunity for investors to set themselves up for profits months, if not years, before anyone else catches on.

Carlita's Story
Carlita is one of the main health workers at Atabae, working with Palms volunteer Margaret Hall. She had just one month of English training before writing this short story of her life.
Letter from the field (12 months)
The RUCO students (with the usual exceptions) are quite inspiring in the way that they cope with the kind of problems not faced by students I have taught at universities in Australia, Dubai and Taiwan.
Letter from the field (9 months)
Where did that confidence come from? I don't really know. Will it last? Don't know the answer to that either. Whatever factors helped flower such a response, the point is, that it happened.
Letter from the field (6 months)
Nurses are certainly the primary caregivers in PNG and the backbone of the health care system. Doctors are mainly found in large provincial hospitals and about 75% of all nurses work in rural health care facilities.
Letter from the field (5 months)
Now that we are getting our bearings a bit more and the end of the building project is in sight, we would like to start looking at what activities we should be focusing on over the next eighteen months.
Letter from the field (4 months)
Death always seems very close here, but as Fred Smith says "Life seems much grander too". Many occasions lately have the stamp of history being made before our eyes.
Letter from the Field (1 month)
Marlene Rasmussen, from Toowoomba QLD, is volunteering for the Diocese of Tarawa and Nauru in Tarawa, Kiribati.
New Directions
Providing training in a refugee camp setting is a new direction for Palms, although one which fits entirely with Palms' vision and mission for sustainable development.
An Alignment of the Stars
Fresh approaches to previous processes, that improve our ability to open new Palms to new communities, make being busy considerably more joyful than painful.

I think I've done too much today and now I'm left overtired and stressed. There are days when I just attempt to do everything. I look after Harry and do all the housework all day and then I just seem to feel angry and restless, my mind is moving too fast, I've just done too much, I need to take it easy 🙁 I've gone from doing nothing (before I had Harry) to suddenly trying to do everything (ever since Harry arrived!) I prefer to be over tired and working too hard than go back to what I was right before I was pregnant…it'll all be ok, things are definitely much better now than they were. I was looking at my most recent poetry from 2014 and gosh I was in a bad place! I'm more than happy Harry has managed to change it!
I wrote the poem below in January 2014, aged 25 (above picture is me aged 25!) I'd actually overdosed on Lorazepam at the time, not to die but to escape.
My whole being has become an infected wound
My mind and body are in agony
My thoughts and sense of self are over-run,
Infection is leaking from my eyes
Feelings of worthlessness so swollen,
That I cannot see anything else
And no one can see inside,
My self-hate is giving me a raging fever
Is my brain bleeding
From all this chaos and confusion?
Being me equals an infected wound,
All I want is an antidote…relief!
My heart beats faster
Causing the infection to spread
Now every inch of me is infested,
I dare not speak
My words are nothing more
Than the vomiting the infection causes,
I feel like an infected wound
Every part of me;
How I think, how I feel, how I perceive things
How I look;
It's all leaking blood and puss,
Don't touch me, don't talk to me
Even the remedy has become
Part of the infection,
Pills to slow down my minds' venom
Just to tire it out,
I cannot see myself clearly in the mirror
I'm close to collapsing to the floor,
But that's my relief.
Thankgoodness Harry came along really! I can't believe most of my recent poems are honestly written after I'd overdosed, and at one point I was writing them every day. Harry really has saved me. I'm going to bed…I feel strange really. I've worked too hard today, that's all.
- I am helpful
- I am loyal

Strong competition in the 2010 Apprentice of the Year
A strong number of carpentry apprentices from across the country are set to take on the challenge of the Registered Master Builders 2010 Apprentice of the Year, in association with Carters.
A total of 155 apprentices have entered this year's competition.
Now in its seventh year, the competition has over $100,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, which includes 10 places on the Outward Bound Leadership Programme for the regional winners.
Held in 10 regions throughout the country, the competition aims to find and reward outstanding carpentry apprentices and bring attention to the wide variety of career opportunities in the building and construction industry.
BCITO chief executive Ruma Karaitiana says the BCITO is proud to continue its support of the Apprentice of the Year competition as part of its ongoing commitment to recognising and honouring excellence among apprentices.
"In the current economic climate, it is impressive to see so many young builders stepping up to the challenge as their skills will be needed more than ever in the near future.
"The high level of entries again this year for Apprentice of the Year signifies the importance of this competition to young carpentry apprentices looking to advance their careers.
"The competition recognises the skill and effort required to complete an apprenticeship and the winners display the best of what our industry has to offer for the future."
Over the coming weeks, entrants in the competition will be interviewed by a judging panel made up of representatives from Registered Master Builders, BCITO and Carters. Up to 10 finalists will then be selected from each region and the judging panel will visit each finalist's building site to determine each region's winning apprentice.
The 10 regional winners will be announced at awards evenings across the country in September and October before gathering in Wellington to compete for the national Apprentice of the Year title on 21 October. This year the national finalists will also undergo a practical test in addition to being interviewed by the judges.
The Apprentice of the Year competition is made possible by industry leaders Carters, the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO), the Registered Master Builders Federation (RMBF) and the Department of Building and Housing.

Josi Hasenauer, named as Newman Civic Fellow.
The Newman Civic Fellows program was established by Campus Compact in honor of co-founder Frank Newman, who dedicated his life to creating opportunities for student civic learning and engagement.
The award is designed to recognize college students who have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for the challenges faced by communities across the nation through service, research and advocacy. Each of Oklahoma's fellows will receive a $500 scholarship from Oklahoma Campus Compact. Students are nominated by their college or university president.
"Josi exhibits outstanding campus and community involvement," said Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president. "She is serving as an AmeriCorps Tutor at Alva Middle School and will become a social sciences teacher after she graduates."
"She served as an intern for U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (Nebraska) in Washington D.C., this past summer and is passionate about investing time in the lives of students."
Hasenauer is committed to positive change in her role as a student and beyond.
"When I was younger, I always told my friends and family I was going to be President of the United States," Hasenauer said. "I thought if I was President then I could change the world. I now know I don't need a title to change the world or a person's life. What I do every day on campus, in schools, and in the community is changing the world - one conversation, one problem, one smile at a time."
"Through tutoring students at the middle school, I am changing lives of students by encouraging them to believe in themselves, work hard, find value in the little things (even the negatives count), and show them how fun learning can be. I am changing people's lives by investing my time and energy to support their dreams, see them for who they are, and listen to them. "
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

The Point Is….
Filed Under (NL East Chatter) by dangeluzzi on 30-11-2009
Tagged Under : Adrian Beltre, Alex Gonzalez, Andruw Jones, Chicago White Sox, ESPN, Ken Griffey Junior, Roy Halladay, Sports Illustrated, Toronto Blue Jays
I have decided on the title of my running article which I hope will continue to run on this website. As there were no comments on my previous article, I will assume that a) No One Cares or b) I am the only person reading it.
I dont blame anyone. At this point in the baseball season, nothing is happening. Minor free agents are signing meaningless contracts, i.e., Andruw Jones & Alex Gonzalez, and teams are posturing. Many "sources" provide fodder for Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and the like. Will the Blue Jays trade Roy Halladay? Who knows, but it is better to speculate about it then write nothing at all. Hell, if all ESPN and SI can put out is conjecture what the hell am I going to say.
The point is, there isnt much to say. Until the first domino falls, no one knows how this offseason will shape up.
How about Andrew/Andruw/Andru Jones? Remember when he hit 2 HR's in a World Series game against the Yankees? What happened to him? Did he just lose confidence? Did he not try hard enough? Did he eat his way out of baseball? Or is he a casualty of the steroid era? I mean at this point, how could you at least not speculate that a guy who was productive and durable came crashing to the earth at around the same time steroids became a big deal. I am not saying that he took steroids. The point is that he could have taken steroids or some other performance enhancing substance. Or his career could have simply followed a bell curve, who knows. I certainly dont. However, that is what a blog is for, to voice an opinion and let the people decide one way or another.
For example, from 1997 until 2006, Jones averaged 33.7 HR's a season. In 2005 and 2006, he managed to hit 51 and 41 HR's respectively. In 2007, he dropped to 27 HR's. Now, he is signing a minor league deal worth $500,000. Jones never hit for average, but I do not recall a debilitating injury (Jones did not go on the disabled list in his career until 2008) or anything else that would have slowed his career.
Look, more likely than not, Jones is just a victim of a downward career spiral. He put on weight and might not have had the discipline to maintain his status as an elite player. He never got a huge payday, ala, Adrian Beltre. (I mention Adrian Beltre not because he took steroids but because he had a curiously productive career year which coincided
with his free agency year. Beltre has not come close to duplicating those numbers.) It is worth noting that Adrian Beltre had his huge season, .334 AVG and 48 HR's in 2004. Jones' best seasons came in 2005 and 2006. Despite being poised to receive a huge payday in free agency, Jones fizzled. One has to wonder why this occurred.
It is a shame because Jones could have been the Griffey Junior of his era. Now he is hoping for at-bats on the White Sox.
I know the steroid angle is played out and that no one cares anymore because most people assume all baseball players are guilty of something. However, any player whose career was productive and who has a rapid decline is under suspicion. Plus, it should be noted, Jones is only 32, which means his career derailed in his late 20′s. A little early for a guy who was pretty consistent over a 10 year span to suddenly lose the ability to hit a baseball, especially when he was never injured.

I am not sorry that the white people have been clannish enough and have had race pride enough to protect their own society.
They are national in form and colour, but clannish in opinion.
The Welsh, my dear lady, are as clannish in that way as the French; they'll do anything for 'my nephew.'
In the first place this interesting bird is a clannish fellow.
You remember what I told you about her clannish feeling—how she loves to quietly exalt her family name?
Norfolk men are clannish, and Horbury's evidence carried weight.
We have been wanting to have an old-time frolic, but didn't wish to seem selfish and clannish.

The staff kindly upgraded our room from a 4-bed to 3-bed with an en suite bathroom, which was quite lovely and very clean. When we arrived Lily gave us maps and even marked the optimal route for sightseeing (including an excellent gelateria nearby, La Romana!). We also got that complementary bottle of wine. All in all, great location, friendly and helpful staff, nice and clean rooms. Mind, no kitchen or common room, but this is still of of the best value for money places I've stayed in!

Although email has reached the point it is often considered a "legacy" technology, email marketing efforts still provide substantial ROI.
Holiday shopping often starts earlier than commonly thought and also frequently being online.
Consumers love their smartphones, but retailers shouldn't count out the "old tech" yet in terms of customer appeal.
Nearly one-third (31.1% ) of retailers report that their companies have opened or will open new stores this year, according to a survey by retail real estate management firm Levin Management. It is the highest mid-year percentage in the four years for which comparative Levin survey data is available.
As 2014 comes to a close, one thing is clear—traditional retailing is under fire.
In the early days of e-commerce, internet shopping was supposed to spell the demise of the physical store. Pure play online retailers would sweep all before them, rendering the retail store a historical curiosity.
The focus of c-suite and senior executive attention has shifted from economic uncertainty to data, technology and the supply chain, according to the Global Top of Mind Survey from KPMG International and the Consumer Goods Forum.
Thirty-one percent of survey respondents said they won't be shopping for any back-to-school products at all, up from 27.7% last year, according to research published by The Integer Group.

Americans are frustrated with the state of customer service, according to a new survey by Consumer Reports magazine.

Planting the urban landscape: Selected trees and shrubs for birds
Whether you're interested in gardening to attract birds on your own property or are involved with community projects to create habitat for wildlife, choosing the right planting material is important. Native plants are always to be preferred over non-native but, unfortunately, it is still difficult to find a nursery that stocks more than a few indigenous species.
Compilations of trees and shrubs for attracting wildlife usually suggest cultivated and exotic species along with native ones. They often also include varieties that will not grow in this area. The following list presents local, native species that provide food, cover and nest sites for birds, and would be useful in an urban/suburban setting. Rural landowners would find their choices even greater.
Trees versus shrubs Shrubs are often described as having multiple stems while trees have one. However, the line blurs and many woody plants we think of as shrubs are in fact small trees. In some cases they may be better suited for city planting given their relatively small size.
Think native Although exotic ornamentals are widely planted and can attract wildlife, native species do a better job in the long run. By planting non-native species we always run the risk of these aliens escaping to surrounding habitats and out-competing native species. Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), Glossy Buckthorn (R. cathartica), and Tartarian Honeysuckle (Lonicera tartarica) have been widely planted in gardens, and are particularly invasive. They now frequently form the dominant shrub communities in many local natural areas. In some urban woodlots, native maples have been almost replaced by Norway Maple, which produces abundant and fast-growing seedlings. Other common invaders from our gardens include Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), Japanese Knotweed (Polygynum cuspidatum), Chinese or Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila) and Barberry (Berberis vulgaris).
Think thickets Groups of trees and shrubs provide better wildlife habitat; even a small thicket of 35 trees underplanted with 36 shrubs is better than single trees spaced far apart. Variety is good. Different species provide different roosting and nesting habitats and also supply a greater variety of food, either directly by their fruits or indirectly by attracting a richer cocktail of insects. Thickets of a single species are not as attractive as those of mixed species.
Think hedgerows Hedgerows, planted with the right mix of shrubs and trees can provide food, cover, nesting sites, and a corridor for safe passage from one habitat to another (Hanrahan 1999). [See also Creating a hedgerow for wildlife]
Many species of birds thrive in "edge" habitats, taking advantage of two types of plant communities. Hedgerows are, in effect, long strips of edge habitat.
Think snags Where it is safe to do so, leaving standing dead trees (snags or wildlife trees) is one sure way to attract a variety of birds that both feed and nest in them (Hanrahan 1994). [See also Wildlife trees]
Think dual purpose Trees and shrubs that offer both food and cover (for roosting and nesting) are the best value for you and the birds you want to attract.
Think site conditions You need to know the conditions in your garden. Is it well-drained? Is it very dry or very damp? Sunny or shady? Is there room for several big trees or will there be potential problems? Suburban gardeners can often get away with planting more and bigger trees than urban dwellers, but this is not a hard and fast rule. All these considerations influence the types of species you can successfully plant.
I have listed only those species of birds that are likely to be found in urban settings, either because they breed there or are found during migration. Thus birds such as Ruffed Grouse, which feed on the buds of many trees but rarely enter urban areas, are not included. I have not included mammals. In our urbanscape we can take it for granted that squirrels (Gray and Red) will be attracted to many of the same trees that birds are. Cottontail rabbits are becoming increasingly common in many residential areas of Ottawa and of course we have Skunks and Raccoons, and various other and sometimes surprising four-legged neighbours.
I've noted whether it is seeds, nuts, sap or fruit that primarily attracts birds. An asterisk (*) next to a bird species indicates that the tree/shrub is especially important as a food source. The list has been divided into species that grow best in sun and those that can tolerate shade to partial shade. Soil conditions and average height are also given. Some species can tolerate both dry and moist sites and this is also noted with the preferred conditions given first.
Soil conditions: W = wet, M = moist, D = dry

Paper Birch, Betula papyrifera
Common or Canadian Elder, Sambucus canadensis
American Elm, Ulmus americana

Red Maple, Acer rubrum
Downy Serviceberry, Amelanchier arborea

|AW: AW: Client authorization against LDAP using client certificates
|Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:43:01 GMT
Maybe let's concentrate on non-third-party modules. Basically there is mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest on the top level followed by their providers on the second level. In my opinion mod_auth_cert is another possibilty to authenticate users on the same level as basic and digest, because it has nothing to do with basic and digest authentication in principle. Therefore i would prefer a third AuthType named Cert or something to keep httpd's authentication model clean. To support more than one authentication method at a time we would have to do fallback like "AuthType Cert, Basic". I really share this opinion. And finally, to use the same provider independent of the configured AuthType, we would have to rename the AuthBasicProvider and AuthDigestProvider directives. In the end it would look like this: AuthType Cert, Basic AuthProvider ldap AuthLDAP... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Graham Leggett [mailto:email@example.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 4.

Tt would be cool if we could support auth fallback in an arbitrary fashion. For example, if a user has a cert, use that as their identity, otherwise use their session identity from mod_auth_form, or failing that use basic authentication. If all of them fail, then pick one of them to handle the "access denied" part (for example request a basic authentication username and password, or let mod_auth_form display a login form, whatever). You might do something like this: AuthType certificate, form, basic Regards, Graham --

Canadian Companies at Risk of Financial and Reputational Damage Resulting from Mismanaged Personal Information
TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Most firms are unable to adequately protect their customers against data breaches.
Recent studies indicate major discrepancies between the perception of privacy protection in Canada and the reality behind the ability of companies to protect personal information. A recent report from Advertising Standards Canada and MacLaren McCann indicates widespread willingness among Canadians to share personal information, with up to 79% exchanging their data to obtain a benefit. Trust in companies is increasing as up to 80% of Canadians believe their personal data is adequately protected.
Unfortunately, the privacy landscape in Canada may suffer as a result of a false sense of privacy, according to a privacy professional and author of "Managing Personal Information: Insights on Corporate Risk and Opportunity for Privacy-Savvy Leaders" (Carswell, 2012).
The President and principal Risk Advisor of Toronto-based Informatica Corporation, Claudiu Popa says "we have been watching these studies come in and individually, they offer significant insight into the state of privacy but a cross-sectional analysis reveals a barometric predictor of the impact of personal information breaches over the short to medium term. The picture that emerges is anything but rosy. That's why we felt it was important to write this book" he added. According to the Edelman Privacy Risk Index, 62% of companies say their organization does not possess the expertise or technology to effectively protect personal information. The severity of these implications is underlined by a reported 15% annual increase in the number of companies that suffer from external privacy and security breaches (according to Ernst & Young).
While 73% of Canadians appear to show a surprising lack of concern over the information they submit online, they also indicate that they are aware that their Internet activities are tracked for marketing purposes. The majority are willing to share location data, shopping data and other information used for promotional purposes. The critical factor for Canadian companies is that 72 percent of respondents said they worry about the erosion of personal privacy even as they continue to share information online. In fact, the majority of Canadians do not want companies to share personal information with third parties and would prefer to have control over the shared data. The current study's findings independently support the book's perspectives as it offers solutions to prevent privacy breaches and their costly outcomes.
According to Claudiu Popa "89 percent of Canadians believe that they're already sharing too much information online and they're not hypocrites, they realize that they need to share information to get things done.
Three quarters of consumers will abandon a company if information was accessed without permission. It's simply the way the economy, and the world as a whole, work. Unfortunately organizations that haven't yet read the book misinterpret the need of individuals to share information as a willingness to surrender personal details or even a weakness to be capitalized on. This is a dangerous conclusion to draw, and 57% of companies appear to support this view, because they said they do not consider privacy and the protection of personal information to be a corporate priority while 53 percent mistakenly believe that a data breach would not tarnish their reputation. 61% do not even enforce full compliance with laws and regulations." At an approximate cost of $200 per compromised record, the average per-incident cost to companies has often exceeded $7 million over the past few years and will continue to climb with changes in legislation surrounding mandatory breach notification and anti-spam provisions.
Between consumer concern, regulatory enforcement and litigation carving deeply into Canadian privacy operations, there should be no question that companies of all sizes need to place an absolute priority on compliance and enforcement, but it is often the damaging reputational impact and media scrutiny that convince firms to get serious about personal information protection. "Managing Personal Information" offers actionable guidance to enable the proper implementation of privacy programs within Canadian organizations.
"Managing Personal Information" is a uniquely Canadian collaborative effort to improve privacy and security practices at the higher levels of public and private leadership. The book's notable authors provide exclusive new content along with a foreword by the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner, Ann Cavoukian.

Britain's largest spider found in man's back garden
Britain's largest spider has been found in a man's back garden.
Matthew Field (42), an amateur photographer, discovered the relatively big arachnid in his garden at the weekend.
The five-inch spider was identified, Kent Online reports, as a Segestria Florentina - also known as the tube web spider.
It preys on other spiders, including the feared False Widow, and is the biggest species of spider found in the UK.
Mr Field, who is a local DJ, says he found it surrounded by numerous dead spiders when he unrolled a canvas.
"It startled me – it wasn't happy that I had disturbed it and it definitely eats spiders as prey.
"It definitely startled me – my first instinct was to back away and start taking photos of it.
"It went under my chair and I sat for the afternoon with it under my chair listening to the radio."
"It's got two distinctive lines of tiny little eyes and two fangs that look like two big sugar puffs in its mouth."
Tube spiders are not especially dangerous but they can bite.
Mr Field added: "I used to be terrified of spiders, I was a right arachnophobe.
"But now I've grown up I've realised it was stupid and have got over it - there are lots in my garden and they don't bother me at all.
"They come in during the winter but this one I didn't want to pick up. It's the biggest one I have ever seen in England."

On a sunny, wintry afternoon, a breeze blows through the prison yard of Joliet Correctional Center, once home to some of the country's most notorious criminals, including serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who briefly occupied a cell before his execution in 1994.
The castle-like prison, made by convict labor in 1858 and housing inmates until 2002, now has the title role in Prison Break, Fox's breakout fall hit that returns for a spring run Monday. Starring newcomer Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield, it's a ticking-clock drama about a structural engineer who gets himself thrown in jail, with prison blueprints tattooed on him. He plans to bust out his brother, who is about to be executed for a murder he didn't commit. (Related gallery: Prison Break inmates snitch)
"This place is sort of like where you didn't want to end up," says actress Robin Tunney, who plays a lawyer trying to stop the execution. "My big joke is they deem it uninhabitable — so let's get a bunch of actors in here."
In the first 13 episodes aired through November, Scofield was preparing the escape. Each week, viewers saw him crawling through the vent system or walking on secret catwalks as he created and tested his seemingly foolproof getaway. Then, in the last episode, he came across a crucial corroded pipe, only to discover that a janitor had replaced it with a new one, thwarting the whole plan and leading viewers to wait and wonder what's next.
On Sunday, FX airs a Prison Break marathon (noon to 7 ET/PT) to get viewers caught up. On Monday at 8 ET/PT, Fox airs the first of the remaining nine new episodes of Season 1. Prison Break drew an average of 8.6 million viewers for the initial run, with the finale pulling in 12.2 million. Its biggest competition on Monday will be from NBC's new game show, Deal or No Deal, which hit a series high of 15.4 million viewers last week.
The key to the overall story is its strong, enigmatic leading man: British-born Princeton grad Miller, 33, who snagged a Golden Globe nomination and has appeared on numerous magazine hottie lists. "It's like winning the lottery," he says, a sly grin on his face.
Sitting on a stone wall in the prison yard filming one of the new episodes, he's quiet at first, but opens up to be funny and friendly. After Princeton, Miller jokes, he didn't envision himself "behind bars."
He, like all the actors, is happy to be riding a newfound wave of fame and fortune. All get recognized when they're out in public — and they like it. All say the best episodes have yet to air. And they all say shooting at the prison has made a big difference in the feel of the show.
"We're sitting here on this stone and you think, maybe a convict or two sat here, maybe someone got shanked here, maybe someone cried here, maybe someone prayed for redemption and forgiveness here," Miller says. "It's a place rich in history. I think it's the most important character on the show."
As the sun drops lower in the sky, Miller is called for another shoot. This time, he and his gang are walking out of one of the buildings when a guard stops them because he has found some blood.
Steps away from the scene, Sarah Wayne Callies glances at Miller and the rest of the guys. Her days could be numbered if the show moves away from fictitious Fox River Penitentiary, because she plays the prison doc who has fallen for Scofield.
Prison Break has been "one of the best years of work I've ever had," she says. Even though she's one of the few women in a cast that sometimes is 100-guys deep in blue convict uniforms, she says it's not creepy. "They don't make you feel like you're in a frat basement."
For the guys in the cast, there are few roles more fun than a bad guy. "What actor in my age group doesn't want to play a tough guy in prison?" asks Dominic Purcell, 36, who plays Lincoln Burrows, the brother awaiting execution.
"To be in a hit TV show and having people come up to me and giving me special treatment, it's awesome," says Amaury Nolasco, who plays Scofield's cellmate, Sucre. "I can go and order the lobster now without looking at the price."
"I don't know what I did right," says Lane Garrison, who plays Tweener, a young convict. "We've all grown so close, even though our story lines are that we're at each other's throats. It's hard to get serious sometimes."
Standing in the shadows of the prison walls makes it easier to get back in character.
"My first day here, I walked through those gates and a change happened," Garrison says. "You see the walls and the razor wire, and you feel the history here. It's not a positive place."
He adds, "We do some stuff here in Gacy's cell, which is really scary."
Rockmond Dunbar may be the most creeped-out of anyone in the cast. The energy at the prison is "stagnant," says Dunbar, who plays inmate C-note.
"This is old-school Shawshank Redemption," he says, a reference to the Morgan Freeman prison movie set in the 1940s.
He doesn't even like to walk around in the cellblocks. "You're expecting something to come around the corner and grab you. I don't go into the cells. I just don't want to get locked in there."
And he believes that it's haunted. "There were stories of neighbors who called, saying 'stop the prisoners from singing over there' — and the prison was closed!"
Unlike many of the other convict characters whose futures are up in the air as the break is underway, C-note is here to stay, Dunbar says. "I'm really excited because I'm the only black one, so they can't kill me off. I can't be first. So at least I make it to next season."
He raises an interesting point: Wouldn't there be more black convicts in a real-life group? "There's been a lot of concern about not having enough extras of African-American descent compared to the idea of a prison population," he says. "You'd think there would be more black men on the grounds."
The casting department has hired as extras some men who actually were convicts at Joliet. In one scene, Dunbar says, "we're going this way through the gates, and one of the guys said, 'No, I did that too many times. I ain't doing it again.' And no one made him go through the gates."
Wade Williams, as cruel prison guard Capt. Brad Bellick, would be someone to make him go through. "It's a lot more fun to play the bad guy," Williams says. "The good guy is always pining and asking, 'How am I going to get out of this?' The bad guy gets to do everything."
He says he doesn't even need to act; he's in the real place. "It's imposing, intimidating architecture."
Williams, like Dunbar, isn't worried about his character's future, even though he's based at the prison. "As far as Bellick is concerned, they're not getting out. Over my dead body," Williams says, laughing. "They're not going to break out. If they did, they're still not free. Just because they got over the wall or dug a tunnel or walked through the front door, they ain't free."
And that's the setup for the future. As the show again moves closer toward seeing the men make a run for it, the prison will begin to matter less, and the attention will turn to developing the characters outside the walls. Not only will that character development — including an important series of flashbacks in Episode 3 — help hook viewers into caring what happens beyond the prison walls, but it also will set up the show for its second season.
"In Season 2, the prison really starts to drop out of the story," says Paul Scheuring, the show's creator.
"Some people get out," he says. "You might italicize some. You could also italicize some people won't be getting out — dead or otherwise. A lot of people ask about the show, saying once they get out, it's over. That's not true. Once they escape, that's the beginning of the drama. We're carefully constructing story lines for when they get out."
By necessity, Prison Break has to evolve and become a different show, Scheuring says.
"People make the joke that it will be called Prison Break: On the Lam, one of those colon things."
Scheuring says, "There will be emotional goodbyes. We're going to scatter these guys to the winds, like The Great Escape."
He wants to film all over the country to enhance the look of the show. And the cons who get out will come to stand for certain things — redemption, love, truth, exoneration. Remember the 1963-67 TV show The Fugitive?
"Once you've committed yourself to running, once you're across the Rubicon, you're on pins and needles," Scheuring says. "Basically, The Fugitive milked it for years, with a boring actor guy being chased by a one-armed man."

Genital Papules in an Adult Male
Am Fam Physician. 2016 Jul 15;94(2):140-142.
A 43-year-old man presented with a one-week history of multiple weeping papules on his penis and scrotum. The lesions were not painful, and he had no other symptoms. He had no relevant medical history, including human immunodeficiency virus infection, but he had had unprotected sexual encounters with multiple women over the previous three months.
Physical examination revealed more than 50 firm, moist, pink papules on the scrotum and penile shaft (Figure 1). The lesions were nontender, smooth, and flat-topped. The patient had bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. The remainder of the examination was normal. A rapid human immunodeficiency virus infection test was negative. A biopsy was performed for further evaluation.
Based on the patient's history and physical examination findings, which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Chancroid.
B. Condyloma acum

The X-Trail n-tec+ also features Nissan's Around View Monitor 360 degree parking system. The system uses color front, rear and passenger side cameras to ensure that drivers of the X-Trail n-tec+ have a clear view of his surroundings when maneuvering.
The 4x4 also features an electric tilt and slide panoramic sunroof and an Intelligent key for keyless entry and start. Additional equipment includes climate control, cruise control, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers and rear privacy glass.
The X-Trail n-tec+ is powered by a 2.0-litre dCi turbodiesel engine that provides up to 173PS of output and 360Nm of torque, enabling the vehicle to tow up to 2,200kg.
Ensuring the X-Trail n-tec+ nimbleness in all kinds of weather is Nissan's All-Mode 4x4-i system with Uphill Start Support and Downhill Drive Support. Nissan is now selling the X-at only £27,790.
Nissan is offering a limited-time offer of a complimentary upgrade to retail customers, bringing down the price by £2,000 to just £25,790. Nissan is also offering the X-Trail n-tec+ through three years zero percent financing and three years low cost servicing for £399.
