"Jersey Shore" may be the hot(tub)est show on television in eons. But one writer is considering legal action against MTV for ripping off his idea. Christopher Gambale submitted a treatment to MTV for a show called "Guidos: A Reality Series." He wrote it and registered it with the Writer's Guild of America back in 2006. The concept was to get together a bunch of guidettes and guidos, who Gambale described in the treatment as "a sad, pathetic excuse for a male; not necessarily of Italian descent, but most likely; usually native to the New York/New Jersey tristate area."

Product Information
- UBBI Diaper Pail from Pearhead Inc.
- We recommend this product for ages 0 and up
What It Is
Any new parent will tell you that there is nothing sweet about a smelly and stinky diaper, and there is nothing especially sweet about a smelly and stinky diaper that's been sitting around forgotten for a couple days. This is where the UBBI Diaper Pail comes in. It's a new spin on a nursery must-have. Diaper pails are essential to any baby's nursery. With the frequency of dirty diapers, this is a must-have item. What makes the UBBI stand out from other diaper pails on the market is that it's a can made of steel. Other pails are made of plastic. Steel does not absorb any bacteria or odor, which is the selling point of this can. Steel is also very easy to clean. UBBI has lots of other features, too. While UBBI does sell bags that fit this container, the eco-friendly design of this diaper pail allows parents to recycle their plastic shopping bags or use any tall kitchen bag for loading up diapers. The lid is sealed with rubber to trap those funky odors. A top sliding door makes diaper deposits a cinch. A safety lock on the sliding panel prevents kids from getting into the pail. The UBBI is available in a variety of colors to fit your nursery's décor.
Is It Fun?
While the practicality of this diaper pail is great, we also appreciate the nod to design. The UBBI is sleek and can blend into a nursery without being an eyesore. Overall, this is a very practical, functional, and must-have product for your baby's nursery.
Who It's For
The UBBI Diaper Pail is not age-graded because it is not a toy.
What To Be Aware Of
The UBBI Diaper Pail is available to purchase at ubbiworld.com and in specialty retailers.

T Moe
Women's Basketball
Junior T Moe made history during Friday night's season-opening win over UC Santa Barbara by collecting the program's first triple-double. The 5-8 guard kicked off her season by posting 19 points and career-highs with 12 rebounds and 11 assists to capture the feat, the 10th to be done in the Mountain West. Moe made a strong push for her triple-double in the second half of action, tallying 13 of her 19 points in that half. Nine of her 11 assists were passes inside that led to Nevada's dominance in the paint where the Wolf Pack outscored the Gauchos by 24 points.

Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY), Britain's largest mortgage lender, agreed to sell 500 million pounds ($790 million) of leveraged loans to Bain Capital LLC's debt fund manager Sankaty Advisors LLC, as the bank moves to reduce assets.
The assets are mostly performing U.K. leveraged buyout loans, said a spokesperson for Sankaty, who declined to be named in line with the firm's policy. Lloyds spokesman Emile Abu- Shakra declined to comment.
Lloyds has shrunk its non-core assets by 53 billion pounds since 2008 to about 141 billion pounds as of the end of 2011, according to filings. Sankaty manages $16 billion globally, including 3 billion euros in Europe, according to the spokesperson.

If you want to save money on anti wrinkle creams you can buy your products online How do you know from when an anti-wrinkle cream is needed?
If expression wrinkles begin to show your face, especially around the eyes and lips, you can begin to consider using an anti-wrinkle cream. However, the main criterion for deciding whether or not you should find a anti-wrinkle cream is your well-being. The appearance of wrinkles is still, to this day, absolutely inevitable. Time, but also the emotions of life – laughter and tears – leave their mark on your face. Some live very well, and others are completed. An anti-wrinkle cream is essential if you are unable to see anything more in the reflection that returns your mirror as wrinkles crisscrossing your face.
Sometimes it is useful to seek advice from a dermatologist before choosing an anti wrinkle cream to avoid any risk of allergy Based on this principle, we can begin to use anti-wrinkle cream for all ages. But beware: some of them are indicated for postmenopausal women or for men, this is not just a marketing ploy. Anti-wrinkle creams are designed to meet specific needs that have been extensively studied, and they are not interchangeable!
Thus, an anti-wrinkle cream for women over forty years is likely to contain phytoestrogens, to overcome their decline in the body during or after menopause. An anti-wrinkle cream will certainly not hurt a young woman of 30 years who wants to fight against wrinkles of expression, but there are other anti-wrinkle creams that are best suited to him. Of course, the logic is the same for anti-wrinkle creams for men, or for dry, oily, mixed, etc..
Take advantage of the wide variety of anti-wrinkle creams to choose the one that best suits your skin. In case of doubt, make an appointment in a beauty salon, where an esthetician will examine your skin and be able to effectively advise you in choosing your anti-wrinkle cream.

Attorney General Henry McMaster "has withdrawn from a group studying the problem of Internet predators on social-networking sites after a report downplayed threats that children face online," CarolinaLive.com reports. It says McMaster withdrew, presumably from the group of attorneys general that formed the Internet Safety Technical Task Force, because the ISTTF report's findings "create a 'false sense of security on the issue of child Internet safety'." The report, "Enhancing Child Safety and Online Technologies," can be downloaded here at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society's site. One of the criticisms voiced by the attorneys general in this interview in the Wall Street Journal is that the research cited by the ISTTF report is dated. In fact, the Research Advisory Board pulled together all online-safety research published through this past year, when the ISTTF report was being written. If data is not in there, especially the information on criminal activity the attorneys general are calling for, it's data that the research community is waiting for law enforcement people to make available. Let's hope the attorneys general will help fill in whatever gaps in the research they're referring to.

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
"The UWL(unemployed wrestling league) has come to terms with the release of MVP. We wish him well in his future endeavors!"
- Carlito joking on Twitter about MVP signing with TNA
When UFC legend Anderson Silva brutally broke his leg during a match, former WWE star Carlito went to Twitter and posted a joke by comparing it to the disgusting scene when Sid Vicious broke his leg in WCW.
The wrestling industry is buzzing right now, as Matt Hardy and Carlito were able to draw in 2500 fans to an independent wrestling show, where the former WWE stars fought to determine the first ever WrestleCade Champion.
Former WWE stars Shane Helms and Carlito were down in South America together. An incident took place at the airport, which led to Helms mocking Carlito.
Former WWE stars Matt Hardy and Carlito are fighting in a tables, ladders and chairs match at an independent wrestling show at the end of November to determine the first ever Wrestlecade champion.
Edge won Royal Rumble 2010 by last eliminating John Cena. The other contestants in the match include Batista, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, JTG, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, MVP, R Truth, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Triple H, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.

Author Beverly Cleary's beloved sisters spring to life in the feature film Ramona and Beezus. The popular young-adult novel Beezus and Ramona, first published in 1955, focused on big sister Beezus' chronic frustration with her pest of a little sis. One of Cleary's follow-up books, Ramona Forever, inspired the film starring Selena Gomez as Beezus and Joey King as Ramona. In an exclusive iVillage interview, Gomez confessed she had a lot in common with mischievous Ramona Quimby as a child: "I was always talking to people, always trying to be the life of the party....and (I was) very loud!"

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Im having contractions and monitor not picking them up....
most of mine werent picked up on the monitor, although the monitor showed a lot of irritability. but im only 24wks with twins so none of the monitors work very well at this early in the game... good luck!!
Kailey + Zach= Luke (Aug '09), Ryan & Sean (27weekers, May '11)
That's a little strange that it didn't pick up on anything. During my first pregnancy I thought that exact thing happened to me, but they were less severe than what you're describing. Monitors were not picking up on anything and they tried to do an intrauterine monitor because I guess that is more accurate but when they put it in it hurt so bad and I cried relentlessly and told them to take it out. I don't know what was up with that, but it was brutal. Did they offer anything like that?
Are the contractions regular at all? If I were having that severely painful contractions and they were regular I would be very concerned, especially given your only 32 weeks. And I would be a bit cautious about the lortabs just because you don't want to mask the pain if it actually could be pre term labor. I would talk more with your doctor about the painful contractions. It seems odd to me.
Good luck with everything! My fingers are crossed for you that they're just really bad BH!
Wasn't too into the whole AP thing - my daughter thought differently...

After my surgery I was having contractions, but I was feeling them differently than the monitor was picking them up. It was really weird. The nurse confirmed that my belly was hard when the monitor was picking them up, but I was feeling it at different times. Good luck to you!

I think it all depends on where the monitors are placed. When I went in for my second steroid shot they hooked me up to the monitors and traced contractions when I was barely feeling them...but once when I went in and they were regular and strong, almost bringing me to tears, the nurse said the monitor wasn't picking up contractions.
Amy, wonderful dh.�I have one son, 6/26/06...two daughters, 5/16/08 & 7/01/11. I am a full time Elementary Ed student.� Family is important to me!
I monitor at home and got used to where it should be, so when the hospital doesnt pick them up, I wait til the nurse leaves the room and put it where and how I want (which is hard when they are monitoring the baby.) Im almost 32 weeks as well and its much easier to pick them up now. I was in the hospital twice in the last two weeks and both times when I first got there, they werent picking up..i just kept moving the TOCO thing to where I felt it the most until I saw them pick up. I used to make it really really tight since Im not paper thin lol. However i was in the hospital all last week and they all picked up with it really loose and wherever it was (as they were much stronger then)
The main thing is DR checking your cervix, if they arent changing your cervix then nothing to worry about. I have been on SBR since 25 weeks and in the hospital 5 times due to these patterned and strong contractions...my cervix is really changing too much though so they really dont matter for me so far
Good luck tho! Hope everything turns out to be okay with you as well!

Landmark Agreements Will Give Competitors Access to Standard-Essential Patents; Advertisers Will Get More Flexibility to Use Rival Search Engines
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Google Inc. has agreed to change some of its business practices to resolve Federal Trade Commission concerns that those practices could stifle competition in the markets for popular devices such as smart phones, tablets and gaming consoles, as well as the market for online search advertising.
Under a settlement reached with the FTC, Google will meet its prior commitments to allow competitors access – on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms – to patents on critical standardized technologies needed to make popular devices such as smart phones, laptop and tablet computers, and gaming consoles. In a separate letter of commitment to the Commission, Google has agreed to give online advertisers more flexibility to simultaneously manage ad campaigns on Google's AdWords platform and on rival ad platforms; and to refrain from misappropriating online content from so-called "vertical" websites that focus on specific categories such as shopping or travel for use in its own vertical offerings.
"The changes Google has agreed to make will ensure that consumers continue to reap the benefits of competition in the online marketplace and in the market for innovative wireless devices they enjoy," said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz. "This was an incredibly thorough and careful investigation by the Commission, and the outcome is a strong and enforceable set of agreements."
"We are especially glad to see that Google will live up to its commitments to license its standard-essential patents, which will ensure that companies willing to license these patents can compete in the market for wireless devices," Leibowitz added. "This decision strengthens the standard-setting process that is at the heart of innovation in today's technology markets."
Google is a global technology company with more than 32,000 employees and annual revenues of nearly $38 billion. The FTC also conducted an extensive investigation into allegations that Google biased its search results to disadvantage certain vertical websites; and that Google entered into anticompetitive exclusive agreements for the distribution of Google Search on both desktop and in the mobile arena. The agency decided not to take action in connection with these allegations.
"The evidence the FTC uncovered through this intensive investigation prompted us to require significant changes in Google's business practices. However, regarding the specific allegations that the company biased its search results to hurt competition, the evidence collected to date did not justify legal action by the Commission," said Beth Wilkinson, outside counsel to the Commission. "Undoubtedly, Google took aggressive actions to gain advantage over rival search providers. However, the FTC's mission is to protect competition, and not individual competitors. The evidence did not demonstrate that Google's actions in this area stifled competition in violation of U.S. law."
In response to the agency's concerns about several of its business practices, Google has agreed to take the following steps:
Google will not seek injunctions to block rivals from using patents essential to key technologies
In 2012, Google paid about $12.5 billion to acquire Motorola Mobility (MMI), including MMI's patent portfolio of over 24,000 patents and patent applications. These patents have been a significant source of revenue for at least a decade, and hundreds of MMI's patents are essential to industry standards used to provide wireless connectivity and for internet-related technologies. These standards are essential for smartphones, tablets, gaming systems, operating systems, and the increasing number of devices offering wireless connectivity or high definition video.
Development and use of these types of standards is a cornerstone for many high-tech markets, and encourages innovation and investment in high-tech products, according to the FTC's complaint. By agreeing to standards, companies can ensure that the numerous components of a device or a technology network can work together seamlessly, often called "interoperability."
Setting a standard, however, can have the effect of giving market power to the owner of a patent that is deemed essential to the standard, according to the agency. That patent – even if it is only on a small component of a much larger and more complex device – can be used to "hold up" a licensee for an excessive royalty. To avoid this problem, technology companies involved in setting a standard commit to license standard-essential patents on "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory" terms – known as FRAND terms.
The Commission's complaint alleges that Google reneged on its FRAND commitments and pursued – or threatened to pursue – injunctions against companies that need to use MMI's standard-essential patents in their devices and were willing to license them on FRAND terms. Specifically the company pursued injunctions in federal district court and at the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to block competing technology companies from using MMI standard-essential patents.
The FTC alleged that this type of patent hold-up is what the standard setting organizations sought to prevent by instituting FRAND licensing requirements. According to the FTC, if left unchecked, this type of patent hold-up can lead to higher prices, as companies may pay higher royalties for the use of Google's patents because of the threat of an injunction, and then pass those higher prices on to consumers. This may cause companies in technology industries to abandon the standard-setting process and limit or forgo investment in new technologies, according to the agency.
To remedy this concern, Google has agreed to a Consent Order that prohibits it from seeking injunctions against a willing licensee, either in federal court or at the ITC, to block the use of any standard-essential patents that the company has previously committed to license on FRAND terms.
Google will remove restrictions hampering advertisers' management of their ad campaigns across competing ad platforms
Under a separate commitment, Google has agreed to remove restrictions on the use of its online search advertising platform, AdWords, that may make it more difficult for advertisers to coordinate online advertising campaigns across multiple platforms.
Advertisers who wish to use a search advertising platform spend considerable time, effort, and resources preparing extensive bids, including keywords, price information, and targeting information. Once an advertiser has entered the information necessary to create a search advertising campaign, the advertising platform sends critical data back to the advertisers that they need to evaluate the effectiveness of, and to further manage, their campaign. Advertising platforms use application programming interfaces, known as APIs, to give advertisers direct access to these advertising platforms so they can develop their own software programs to automatically manage and optimize their advertising campaigns.
Some FTC Commissioners were concerned that Google's contractual conditions governing the use of its API made it more difficult for an advertiser to simultaneously manage a campaign on AdWords and on competing ad platforms, and that these restrictions might impair competition in search advertising.
Google will give websites the ability to "opt out" of display on Google vertical properties
Under the same commitment, Google also has promised to provide all websites the option to keep their content out of Google's vertical search offerings, while still having them appear in Google's general, or "organic," web search results. The FTC investigated allegations that Google misappropriated content, such as user reviews and star ratings, from competing websites in order to improve its own vertical offerings, such as Google Local and Google Shopping. Some FTC Commissioners were concerned that this conduct might chill firms' incentives to innovate on the Internet.
FTC's investigation into allegations of search bias
The FTC conducted an extensive investigation into allegations that Google had manipulated its search algorithms to harm vertical websites and unfairly promote its own competing vertical properties, a practice commonly known as "search bias." In particular, the FTC evaluated Google's introduction of "Universal Search" – a product that prominently displays targeted Google properties in response to specific categories of searches, such as shopping and local – to determine whether Google used that product to reduce or eliminate a nascent competitive threat. Similarly, the investigation focused on the allegation that Google altered its search algorithms to demote certain vertical websites in an effort to reduce or eliminate a nascent competitive threat. According to the Commission statement, however, the FTC concluded that the introduction of Universal Search, as well as additional changes made to Google's search algorithms – even those that may have had the effect of harming individual competitors – could be plausibly justified as innovations that improved Google's product and the experience of its users. It therefore has chosen to close the investigation.
The Commission would like to acknowledge the close cooperation in this matter with the European Commission's Directorate-General for Competition, and with the state Attorneys General of Texas, New York, Ohio, California, and Oklahoma.
The Commission vote to accept the consent agreement package containing the proposed consent order relating to standard-essential patents (SEPs) for public comment was 4-1, with Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen voting no. The vote to issue the Commission statement in the SEP matter was 3-2. Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch issued a concurring statement regarding the SEP matter; Commissioner Ohlhausen issued a dissenting statement regarding the SEP matter. The Commission vote to close the investigation related to Google's search-related practices was 5-0. The vote to issue the Commission statement relating to the search investigation was 4-0-1, with Commissioner Rosch abstaining. Commissioner Rosch issued a statement concurring and dissenting with regard to the search investigation; and Commissioner Ohlhausen issued a concurring statement regarding the search investigation.
The FTC will publish a description of the consent agreement package in the Federal Register shortly. The agreement will be subject to public comment for 30 days, beginning today and continuing through February 4, 2013, after which the Commission will decide whether to make the proposed consent order final. Interested parties can submit written comments electronically or in paper form by following the instructions in the "Invitation To Comment" part of the "Supplementary Information" section. Comments in paper form should be mailed or delivered to: Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Room H-113 (Annex D), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20580. The FTC is requesting that any comment filed in paper form near the end of the public comment period be sent by courier or overnight service, if possible, because U.S. postal mail in the Washington area and at the Commission is subject to delay due to heightened security precautions.
NOTE: The Commission issues an administrative complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the respondent has actually violated the law. A consent order is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the respondent that the law has been violated. When the Commission issues a consent order on a final basis, it carries the force of law with respect to future actions. Each violation of such an order may result in a civil penalty of up to $16,000.
The FTC's Bureau of Competition works with the Bureau of Economics to investigate alleged anticompetitive business practices and, when appropriate, recommends that the Commission take law enforcement action. To inform the Bureau about particular business practices, call 202-326-3300, send an e-mail to antitrust{at}ftc{dot}gov, or write to the Office of Policy and Coordination, Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission, 601 New Jersey Ave., Room 7117, Washington, DC 20580.
