In February 2010, a government official from Cambodia wrote a letter to Google, complaining about one of the company's maps. The letter claimed that Google's depiction of a stretch of border between Cambodia and Thailand was "devoid of truth and reality, and professionally irresponsible." In an interview from July of 2010, writer and editor John Gravois points out that 21st-century mapmaking can be politically thorny.

So if Google runs afoul of privacy on the micro-mapping level, it runs afoul of politics in the realm of macro-mapping. In February of 2010, a top Cambodian official wrote Google a letter complaining about one of its maps.
He charged that Google's depiction of a stretch of border between Cambodia and Thailand was, quote, "devoid of truth and reality, and professionally irresponsible." Cambodia requested that Google, quote, "withdraw the already disseminated, very wrong and not [LAUGHS] internationally recognized map, and replace it."
As Washington Monthly editor John Gravois noted last year in a piece called The Agnostic Cartographer, 21st century mapmaking can be politically and culturally fraught. John, welcome to the show.
Thanks very much.
Tell me about the state of Arunachal Pradesh in the far northeast of India and what Google did to it one day last August.
Well, Arunachal Pradesh has been a source of a pretty nasty dispute between China and India since 1914, when the British rulers of India negotiated a treaty with Tibet which was, at the time, de facto independent. So China now, which runs Tibet, doesn't acknowledge that agreement that established Arunachal Pradesh as an Indian state.
So what did Google do to it?
So last August, a weekday, everything's quiet on the Internet.
And then suddenly Google Maps changes all of the place names in Arunachal Pradesh into Chinese.
Now, how did this happen?
It's a mystery. A lot of angry Indian bloggers suspected immediately that Google and China were conspiring together. Others suspected that Chinese hackers broke in and changed the names in the database.
But a blogger by the name of Stefan Geens, who runs a wonderful site that keeps track of border disputes in the age of Google Earth, came up with another theory. He pointed out that Google maintains a separate map site for China and a separate map site for India. According to Chinese law, all maps have to represent what the Indians call Arunachal Pradesh as South Tibet.
Stefan Geens, this blogger, posited that the names on the Chinese map must have somehow switched over into the names on the global map that we all look at.
Let's go back to the golden era of mapmaking during the European colonial era of the 1800s. What was the philosophy then, so to speak, behind cartography?
The whole mapmaking enterprise supported the expansion of European powers out into unfamiliar territory. Mapmaking was also something that came under this sort of industrial era progressive-minded idea that everything can be measured, the world can be indexed, we can narrow down to a clear account of pretty much everything. The colonial era came crashing to an end, and with that, mapmaking changed. State-run data collection efforts went by the wayside gradually. Satellites started to take their place.
But, as you note, there's a lot that we can't get from satellites. That's where Google comes in with its Map Maker tool, which any person can use. How does it work?
Google has set up a pretty straightforward, user-friendly platform called Google Map Maker that allows people in hitherto unmapped parts of the world to just enter in information about the place where they live. There's also a thing called the Community Layer of Google Earth, which is just like a bulletin board that's tagged to a map.
And in Israel, a Palestinian user of Google Earth was going around and tagging different towns as what he said were the sites of former Palestinian villages destroyed in the 1948 creation of Israel. And he tagged a town called Kiryat Yam as one of those villages. The people in Kiryat Yam were very upset by this. They said, in fact, our town was founded on barren sand dunes, and you've basically slandered us.
Another Google-fueled cartographic controversy is over what to call that body of water between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
For years and years and years and years, that body of water's been known as the Persian Gulf. But in the 1960s there was a movement in Arab countries to call it the Arabian Gulf. This arose with Arab nationalism and was promoted by Saddam Hussein, among many, many other people.
And obviously, Persia is a reference to Iran, which is not an Arabic nation, and Iran took this very personally.
That's putting it lightly.
It's been a big dispute for decades now. In 2004, National Geographic issued a new edition of its main atlas and included the name Arabian Gulf as an alternate name in parentheses and small print. The Iranians staged huge email campaigns, letter-writing campaigns, street protests. In Iran itself, all National Geographic products were banned, boycotted.
And at the time, one of the largest Google bombs to date was created in response to it as well, where if you searched for the term "Arabian Gulf" on Google, the top result was a website that looked like an error message that said, "I'm sorry, the gulf you're looking for doesn't exist.
Please try Persian Gulf."
[LAUGHS] Now, Google took the National Geographic route essentially, didn't it, by listing both names?
Yes. On Google Earth, if you go to the Gulf, you'll see in equal-sized text Persian Gulf near Iran, and Arabian Gulf near Qatar and Bahrain and the UAE and Saudi Arabia. So Google isn't taking the National Geographic route, in one respect, which is that it's not backing down.
And one of the largest online petitions on the Internet today is a petition that demands the "immediate and unconditional deletion" of Arabian Gulf from Google Earth.
And what's interesting about the petition is that it attacks Google for not adhering to the standards of cartography that might have been espoused by 19th century mapmakers. The Iranian petition accuses Google of not obeying international standards.
Google's response was really interesting. A couple of months after the petition went live, they posted a kind of statement about how they decide what to name things, and the statement made no mention of history, made no mention of international standards. They just said, we name bodies of water according to the names that countries adjoining that body of water use. There's no science, except for the science of just finding out what people say.
So what do you think about Google's repudiation of history and tradition?
Well, it follows a pretty standard kind of philosophy of the Internet era, which is, you know, the more information, the better; the more democratic the production of information, the better. But Google gets itself into trouble. Google is now producing the world's most important map. That used to be something nation-states did.
And what's happening in all these geographic disputes is that Google's getting confused with a nation-state, and not just any one, a really important one –
- a powerful one. In all of these conflicts, you see parties to these disputes accuse Google of being geopolitical conspirators. The whole time, Google is kind of shrugging and saying, we're showing as many claims as possible trying to be neutral.
This is what people are calling neogeography, where we can layer our maps with all kinds of information. Doesn't that raise the question what is it we want our maps to be now, if no longer a single authoritative view or the world?
It's almost like we shouldn't use the word "map" any more. It's a completely different thing. It's a completely re-scalable document that can hold authoritative information but it can also have other layers of information that are just sort of repositories of a bunch of different opinions, or even conversations. That's neat, and it may play a really huge, valuable social role in the future. But the process of adjusting to that new norm is going to be really, really hairy.
John, thank you very much.
Thank you.
John Gravois is an editor at The Washington Monthly.

Posted Thu 2nd of April 2009
Love between two young boys
Part 3: My Little Angel
Jake was still on his knees in front of the bed while Kiyan took his pants off slowly, his body still paralyzed but not enough to stop the boy from pulling down his pants:
"You're ok with this?" asked Jake, as he helped the boy taking off his pants.
"Tell me if it's bothering you."
"I-it's not. Honest!"
Jake gently pushes Kiyan on his back and lays on top of him, with both his dicks, covered by their underwear, touching each other. The boys join lips again, as Jake kept playin' with his long hair:
"I... I like that." Said Kiyan with a whisper.
"You mean the kiss?"
"N-no... What you're doing with my hair. I like that."
"What about the kiss? Did you like it?"
"I can show you a lot more, if you want."
Jake got on his knees on top of Kiyan and pulled out his cock, now hard and started playing with it:
"Go ahead. Touch it." Said Jake with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, it's ok. You'll like it."
Kiyan slowly put his hand on Jake's cock.
"W-what now?"
"Play with it. Squeeze it. Anything you can think of." Answered Jake as he closed his eyes and waited for the boy's hand to start playing.
Kiyan slowly pushing the dick up and down, like he used to do when he saw the young star shirtless on his computer or on Tv. Jake let out a moan and kept his eyes closed. Kiyan keeps playing with his cock and enjoys the boy's reaction to his movements. Suddenly, Jake stops Kiyan's hand:
"'Kay, that's enough, I don't wanna cum yet."
"You're really clueless, aren't you? You never jerked off before?"
"Well... Y-yeah."
"All right, then. I'll show you how it's done." Said Jake with a big smile on his face.
Jake goes back on his knees in front of the bed and pulls down Kiyan's underwear, revealing his hard cock.
"Thought your cock was bigger. But that's ok. You're gonna love this!"
"L-love what? What are you gonna do?"
Jake started sqeezing Kiyan's cock and jerking him off. Kiyan was speechless. Having another boy rubbing his dick is a lot more exciting than rubbing it himself. The boy started moaning with Jake's movements.
"I knew you'd like it. But that's not all. Hope you're ready for this, buddy."
Before Kiyan could say anything, he saw Jake swallowing his cock. "Wow!" screamed Kiyan in his mind, it was a lot more exciting than just rubbing it. After a few minutes, Kiyan felt he was about to cum, and tried to warn Jake but he was breathing too hard and too fast to warn him and he exploded right into Jake's mouth! After Jake let go of his cock, there wasn't a single drop of cum there.
"Did you like that, buddy?"
"I like you, Kiyan. Really."
Kiyan didn't answer as he crawled into the bed after Jake had done the same.
"So... Wanna stay the night here?" asked Jake with a big smile.
"I, huh... I don't know, I have to ask my dad first."
"Wait here for a minute."
Jake left the room and Kiyan stayed in the bed, wondering what the young star was thinking. After a while, Jake came back:
"'Kay, you can stay the night if you want. Your dad said it's ok."
"You talked with my dad?"
"Yeah. He just left the hotel and went home. Unless you don't wanna stay."
"N-no! I wanna stay! Here with you."
Jake gave the boy a big kiss on his cheek and he saw that shy smile of his.
"What are you smiling at?" asked Jake with a teasing tone.
"Nothing. Just like the way you keep kissing me and treating like a prince."
"Well, I like you. And you're like, the only friend I have right now."
"I am??" asked Kiyan with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah. Most of the friends I have are superstars, and they're all older than me. You're my first REAL friend! I kinda like this place, there are no crazy girls shouting like, forever!"
"What about guys? Some boys must be fans too."
"Nah, most boys hate me, cuz I'm popular among girls. But girls don't interest me. You do."
"Me? Why me? I'm just a nerd."
"No, you're not. You're my friend. My best friend."
Kiyan layed his head on Jake's chest, while he layed on his back in the bed. Using Jake's chest as a pillow, Kiyan asked nervously:
"Is it ok if I... ya know... Hang out with you this summer?"
"I got a better question, buddy."
"Would you like to be my boyfriend?"
"W-what?? Me!?"
"Yeah... I know, we just met, but I think it would be ok. We can hang out all summer too. I'm counting on that, actually."
"Let's make a promise." Said Kiyan.
"A promise?"
"Yeah... Let's promise... To be best friends... Forever."
Jake remained silent for a moment.
"Didn't like that?" asked Kiyan.
"N-no, it's not that... I think it's great. I promise we'll always be the best of friends!"
"Wow... My best friend is a superstar..." said Kiyan to himself, out loud.
Jake smiled and after a few moments of silence, Kiyan rested his head confortably on Jake's chest and whispered:
"Good night..."
Jake layed his hand on the boy's hair and played with it very gently and whispered back:
"Good night... My little angel."
Jake and Kiyan became the best of friends, Jake teached his boyfriend more about the ways of love and sex, both boys enjoyed every day of summer together... Until that last day... When summer ends...

All is fiction without imagination, garbage words of the hypocrat and the pretenderReader comment on item: Does Turkey Still Belong in NATO? Submitted by yasemin (Turkey), Apr 27, 2009 at 09:04 All you write is getting more and more fictional each day. You write long pretending you are an expert. All is a show. All is fiction without imagination. One line from that another from this, one paragraph from whatever you fall on. Your resources of hate have finished I guess and you turned onto totally irrelevant sources and you're lost in fraud. Try to be involved in some job and start to live. The world is real and hope you find your place on it to feel functional. What you do now is the easiest way to feel existing; attack and get reactions from sympathisers or opposers. And you have chosen the easiest subject; attack to the distant and unknown. Besides you feel you serve your leaders in their plans of dividing and conquering the beautiful lands of ours. Well, they are dreaming and you are living in your virtual world. Hope you heal soon. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.

Remembering Richard Manuel today...
We sadly lost Richard Manuel (The Revols, The Hawkes & The Band) in '86 @ the age of 42. He had such a soulful voice & was a multi-talented instrumentalist (piano & drums). We would have love to have met him as he seemed to have much to say even though he was not the most interviewed band member. This photo is by famed Woodstock photopgrapher Elliott Landy.
Too soon gone.

High death rate brings prostate ca vaccine trial to a halt
High death rate brings prostate ca vaccine trial to a halt
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO—Cell Genesys terminated VITAL-2, the second of two phase III clinical trials of Gvax immunotherapy for prostate cancer.
Cell Genesys ended the trial after its independent data monitoring committee observed a high number of deaths among patient receiving the drug versus those on another treatment regimen.
The trial was designed to compare Gvax immunotherapy in combination with docetaxel (Taxotere) to docetaxel plus prednisone (Deltasone) in patients with advanced-stage prostate cancer. VITAL-2 had enrolled 408 patients. The committee suggesting halting the trial after 114 deaths, 67 of which occurred in the Gvax plus docetaxal combination treatment arm; 47 deaths occurred in the control arm.
"At this time, a specific cause for the imbalance in deaths has not been identified and the IDMC reported no new safety issues for Gvax when administered in combination with Taxotere," the company said in a written statement.
Cell Genesys also reported that it plans to fully analyze the clinical data from these patients to attempt to understand the potential cause for the higher rate of deaths observed in the combination arm.
Cell Genesys also has asked the monitoring committee to perform a futility analysis of VITAL-1, the other phase III clinical trial of Gvax immunotherapy for prostate cancer.
VITAL-1 compares Gvax cancer immunotherapy as a monotherapy to doectaxel chemotherapy plus prednisone in earlier stage hormone-refractory patients with metastatic disease who are asymptomatic with respect to cancer-related pain.
The primary endpoint of the trial is an improvement in survival. In 2007, the VITAL-1 trial completed enrollment with 626 patients.
Less than a year ago, Cell Genesys announced that the committee had completed a pre-planned interim analysis for VITAL-1 and recommended that the study continue. The futility analysis is slated to take about a month.

(Students who wish to apply for law courses must meet School of Law's minimum CGPA requirement of 3.0, AND English requirement of TOEFL 100 (internet-based test) or IELTS 7. The TOEFL and IELTS scores should be valid for 3 years from the test date.)
If you wish to apply for exchange study at CityU, you should:
Institutional level exchange programmes | Online Application Periods |
Summer Term, 2017 (June - August 2017) |
15 January - 15 February 2017 |
Semester A, 2017/18 (September - December 2017) | 1 April - 15 May 2017 |
Semester B, 2017/18 (January - May 2018) | 1 September - 15 October 2017 |
College/school/departmental level exchange programmes may have their own application procedures and deadlines.

Semester A, 2016/2017 (application closed, for reference only)
Semester B, 2016/2017 (application closed, for reference only)
You will need to obtain a student visa to study at CityU unless you have the right of abode or the right to land in Hong Kong. For details, please refer to the website of the Global Services Office (Click on 'Incoming Exchange Students' -> 'Visa').
It normally takes six weeks or longer to process a student visa application. You are advised to apply well in advance to ensure that your visa is issued before the start of your exchange study.
We will assist you in any way appropriate to facilitate your visa application. Please contact the Global Services Office (email: firstname.lastname@example.com) for assistance with your visa application.
Please note that a visa/entry permit to enter the HKSAR for study may not be granted to nationals of Afghanistan, Cuba, Laos, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Nepal and Vietnam, at the discretion of the Hong Kong Immigration Department.
Please note that exchange students are required to take a minimum of 12 credit units of CityU courses for Semester A or B, or a minimum of 6-7 credit units for the Summer Term, and enrol as a full-time student, to meet the requirement of the Hong Kong Immigration Department for visa issuance.
You must enrol as a 'not-for-degree' full-time student of the University before you can attend classes. Upon completion of the required enrolment procedures, you will be issued with a student identity card. You should carry this CityU identification document with you at all times, as it allows you access to various University premises and facilities. It is an important document and should not be used by anyone else. If the card is lost, you will need to pay a fee to obtain a replacement from the Service Centre of the Academic Regulations and Records Office (ARRO).
CityU provides a campus environment and a range of programmes designed to enhance students' physical and mental health. Visit the Student Development Services website to find out more.
As an exchange student, you may apply for on-campus student residence. Applications should be made online when you apply for your exchange studies. Please note that there is no guarantee of accommodation in the student residence because of limited capacity. Exchange students should be prepared to arrange their own off-campus accommodation, if necessary.
CityU waives the tuition fee for exchange students, but they are required to pay all of the tuition and study-related fees levied by their home institutions. Exchange students are also responsible for financing their travel, accommodation and other living expenses, visa, insurance, books and other study-related expenses.
For undergraduate halls, the residence fees vary according to the room type. The residence fees are subject to annual review. Please refer to the website of the Student Residence Office for details.
Living costs will vary depending on individual lifestyle expectations. A basic student budget is estimated to be HK$4,500 (per month) including meals, transport, laundry and education expenses for books and stationery.
There is a health centre on campus that provides primary medical care to staff and students. As an exchange student, you are eligible to use the Centre's services at a charge. However, as medical expenses can be quite high in Hong Kong, exchange students are required by CityU's policies to have medical and travel insurance coverage during their stay at the University. Please visit http://www.cityu.edu.hk/gso (Click on 'Incoming Exchange Students' -> 'Health & Insurance') for details.
The University provides a wide range of services and amenities to ensure that students enjoy a rich campus life in a supportive environment. To help you to settle into your new environment and to adapt to the new culture, the Global Services Office (GSO) organises an orientation programme specifically designed for exchange students. This programme usually takes place one week before the semester begins, and you are strongly encouraged to participate. The GSO will announce the exact schedule for the exchange student orientation programme on its website (http://www.cityu.edu.hk/gso) about three weeks before the start of the semester.
If you are coming to CityU by MTR from the direction of Central, get off at Kowloon Tong station and follow the signs to City University (Exit C).

UPDATE: Win tickets for this thursday inside!!! Bloody Disgusting is proud to join forces with Cinefamily to present Zombies, Zombies, Zombies!, a featured part of the Silent Movie Theatre's month-long horror film showcase. Each Thursday throughout October, our own BC will be on hand to present the night's films, and possibly have some prizes to give away to B-D readers! In fact, we have three pairs of passes to give away for this Thursday's double feature of Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Creeps! Read after the break for the Zombies, Zombies, Zombies! lineup, and how to score passes. Check out the official site for the rest of the schedule!
The zombie–a real Romero zombie, not the voodoo kind–is the first new monster in decades that has captured the public imagination with the same kid of archetypal recurrence as werewolves and vampires, rising up again and again. It's a modern, urban terror; humans aren't necessarily supposed to be surrounded by millions of other humans. What if these faceless hordes of people of people we have to deal with, packed into one location, all mindlessly turned on each other? On us? But the zombie-take-all scenario isn't just a fear–it's a fantasy too, exposing our secret desire to guiltlessly blow away row after row of hungry, stupid humanoids, with no repercussions. When is it gonna be most okay to shoot someone in the head? In the zombie apocalypse, that's when.

The $819 billion "stimulus bill" passed by the House includes $1.1 billion that has nothing to do with economic growth and everything to do with letting government control your medical decisions: House Democrats propose to spend taxpayer dollars researching which medical services work best. The need for such "comparative-effectiveness research" is tremendous, and this work could benefit the economy-but not if it's done the way the Democrats propose.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Americans waste $700 billion each year - roughly 5 percent of GDP - on services that provide zero value. Reallocating that money to productive uses would essentially make us $700 billion richer every year. Pres. Barack Obama's budget director, Peter Orszag, testified before Congress last June that "there do not appear to be other examples that credible analysts can identify that offer a potential efficiency gain of that magnitude for the U.S. economy."
However, the economic argument for taxpayer-funded comparative-effectiveness research is shaky, and experience suggests that it will fail to achieve any savings. Under Orszag's direction, last year the CBO estimated that a measure similar to the House Democrats' would reduce federal health spending by a mere "one one-hundredth of one percent" over the next ten years. But due to their desire to see a bigger government role in health care, Democrats persist.
One argument in favor of using tax dollars to fund comparative-effectiveness research is that the information produced has characteristics of a "public good": Some people who didn't invest in the research might benefit from its results. When the investments don't reflect all the benefits, markets may fail to produce (some) research even when the benefits would exceed the costs.
The extent of this problem, however, is unclear. It is even less clear that government provision could improve on a policy of laissez-faire. Private health plans like Kaiser Permanente are powerful engines of comparative-effectiveness research, thanks to corporate structures and financial incentives that encourage such research. If the government were to provide this work at taxpayer expense, it could crowd out these private efforts.
Also, the government is not well-positioned to reduce wasteful medical spending. Every dollar of wasteful spending is a dollar of income to somebody-and that guy usually has lobbyists working to squelch unwelcome research. For the crime of producing research that questioned the value of their services, the health-care industry has already killed the National Center for Health Care Technology (d. 1981), the Council on Health Care Technology (d. 1989), and the Office of Technology Assessment (d. 1995). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has twice escaped the gallows, but only because Congress effectively neutered it in 1995. Indeed, the only agencies that Congress seems capable of eliminating are those that produce comparative-effectiveness research.
Every dollar of wasteful spending is a dollar of income to somebody…
Why do Democrats think this time will be different? Because Health and Human Services secretary-nominee Tom Daschle has a plan.
In his recent book, Daschle proposed a new federal board that would generate and use comparative-effectiveness research to make "specific coverage decisions" for all government health-care programs and "exert tremendous influence on every … provider and payer, even those in the private sector."
Daschle understands that refusing to cover specific services is "not so clean cut," that patient advocates often view those decisions as "matters of life and death," and that "doctors and patients might resent" the board's decisions. He therefore proposes to have the board operate under "a decision-making process that is one step removed from Congress and the White House."
That's a delicate way of saying that Daschle wants government bureaucrats to have more room to ignore you, even if you have good reason to think your child would respond better to a non-covered chemotherapy agent than the average patient would.
Lefty health-care blogger Matthew Holt predicts that Daschle's rationing board, "if it gets established, will get defanged by lobbyists immediately." House Democrats disagree: Their "stimulus" package would give Daschle $400 million to get his rationing board going.
History suggests that government money will do nothing to reduce health-care costs. And even if Democrats could create a rationing board that could deny health care to people without accountability, is that kind of savings we want?

The Seasons Turn
One thing that all the seasons have in common is that it is impossible, in the midst of any one of them, to imagine things any other way. When the trees are stripped, you cannot recall being unable to see through them because of the green curtain. When you are raking grass clippings, or piles of leaves, you forget wobbling in the footprints you yourself have punched in the snow on the way to the compost pile. Spring peepers banish silence.
But what time is it now? All the trees are thick with leaves (some are tired). Only the Virginia creepers have turned. The garden is going strong. It needs no maintenance; all you have to do is go out every afternoon and pick — what one neighbor called "shopping." Some plants are done — I pulled up the cranberry beans, and the tomatoes have had it — but the second rounds of lettuce and peas are just coming up. Maybe we can skip death and go right to rebirth. Christianity without the cross — what a sales pitch. In town a few fooled magnolias are showing buds.

We previously reported on the unique cyber dilemma faced by Richard Goren, a Massachusetts attorney. Back in 2012, a disgruntled former client of Goren's logged onto the consumer review site, Ripoff Report (http://www.Ripoff Report/), and posted an outlandish – and apparently false – review of Goren's business. The review referred to Goren as "Psycho-Richard" and accused him of, among other things, fraud, child abuse, domestic violence, drug addiction and "problems coping with his own sexuality." Goren sued the client for defamation in the Massachusetts Superior Court and won. He even had the copyright to the review assigned to him, so that he could use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to have it taken down.
So why is the review still online? Because Ripoff Report has refused to remove it. According to Goren, Ripoff Report's policy is that it "will not remove a report from its website even if the report is adjudged defamatory." Instead, Ripoff Report offered Goren the chance to join its "Corporate Advisory Program," which Ripoff Report advertises will help "repair your reputation" by making search engine results more positive. In addition, Ripoff Report also offers a "VIP Arbitration" service, through which the target of a bad review might be able to get some portions of it redacted.
But Goren wanted the review down, not redacted, and he didn't want to pay the fees associated with Ripoff Report's services. He brought suit against Xcentric Ventures LLC, which runs Ripoff Report, in the District of Massachusetts. The complaint included counts of copyright infringement, defamation and violation of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. Ripoff Report moved to dismiss.
The Court's Ruling
On March 24, 2014, Judge Denise Casper issued an opinion which allowed the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part, and included the following holdings:
Copyright. Ripoff Report claimed that Goren had no valid rights under the DMCA because Ripoff Report, not Goren, owned the copyright in the review. In order to log on to Ripoff Report, a user first must agree to its terms and conditions, which include a transfer of exclusive rights in the review. This would have preceded any assignment to Goren. Goren alleged that the purported transfer to Ripoff Report was invalid, in part because not all the terms and conditions were readily visible to each user. Judge Casper found that she was unable to resolve the ownership issue on the present record, and denied the motion to dismiss.
Defamation. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) provides that a computer service will not be treated as the "publisher or speaker" of statements provided by another information content provider. As a practical matter, this shields websites from most lawsuits based on allegedly defamatory statements posted by third parties. However, such immunity does not apply where the website partakes in or encourages the creation of the defamatory content. Goren argued that because Ripoff Report purported to own the copyright to the review, and because it instructs search engines to make copies of its reviews in order to maximize its search result rankings, it should be considered the publisher of the review. The Court disagreed, holding that the CDA must be interpreted broadly so as not to chill online speech, and dismissing Goren's defamation claim.
Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. Chapter 93A of the Massachusetts General Laws creates a private cause of action for any party who is harmed by "an unfair or deceptive act or practice" in commerce. This includes acts in commerce that are "immoral, unethical, oppressive or unscrupulous." Goren argued that it was a violation of the act for Ripoff Report to refuse to remove the defamatory review while simultaneously advertising services by which Goren could pay to fix the damage caused by the review. The Court agreed that such behavior may violate Chapter 93A and allowed this claim to proceed. This was perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Court's ruling, because it appears to signal that Ripoff Report's entire business model will be on trial as the case moves forward.
The parties are now proceeding to discovery. The Court has set a scheduling conference for the end of April.

5 Tips For Composing Your Wedding Invitations
How to Say Who, What, When and Where
Entire books have been written on the subject of how to compose a wedding invitation, but here are a few quick guidelines to get you started.
Depending on your style, you may want to follow traditional wedding invitation guidelines closely or draft a more personal invitation that reflects who you are as a couple. To help you get started, here are 5 traditional must-read tips for composing your wedding invitation.
Do Your Research
Before deciding whether to stick with tradition or get creative with your invitation, familiarize yourself with how invitations are usually worded and the types of information they contain. This will help you make sure you give your guests all the information they need without confusing any family members or guests!
List The Basics
No matter how formal or casual, a wedding invitation must state who is doing the inviting, what the event is, and when and where it will be held.
Decide Who's Issuing
Traditionally, the bride's parents issue the wedding invitations, but a bride and groom or the groom's parents can also issue them.
Request It Right
Weddings at a house of worship are traditionally worded to "Request the honour of your presence." If the ceremony is held at another location, the invitation reads, "Request the pleasure of your company."
Include The Parents
There are traditions for wording invitations from parents who have divorced. Each spouse is mentioned on a separate line, with no "and" between the lines. Generally, if one or both of the parents have remarried, only the original parents' names are mentioned. If there is a close relationship between the stepparent and the bride or groom, it would be appropriate to include the new spouse's name.

Broadening Our Horizons XXVII
T'is the season to be jolly... coz the summer seasonal brews are upon us. Here's the best of which I've sampled this year:
That would be a Somersault summer seasonal ale from my favorite brewery up in Fort Collins, CO about which the consensus opinion at Beer Advocate is a not-often-seen B+. Me? I give the brew an "A"... no ifs, ands, or buts. Yeah, it's THAT good! And ain't that label clever?
4 comments:
Drinking a somersault right now, and remembering that I don't like it a whole lot. It's ok, but there's some kind of herbal finish to it that hits me wrong. Alas - and send me some anthrax or a wasp grenade if you need to - I find I can cut it and make it much better by adding a little lime.
Hey, I was making salsa and had some lime on hand. Gave it a shot, and it worked.

The thing about bodyboarding compared to surfing is that you can basically bodyboard ANY wave including shore break, rough choppy water, and not have the lifeguards get nearly as pissed at you. The important thing though is the shore break part because on my beach any wave smaller than like 5ft will shore break unless driven by a long period swell. This is why I bodyboard because of my environment, and because the boards are cheaper, breaking them doesn't really matter, its easier to just jump in, and i just feel more free on it with less dead weight to worry about when wiping out.

if you care what people think of you, then your doing it wrong.
Yawn, why do dogs dislike cats...
it's because if somebody paddles out and it's not one of your buddies you honestly wish that they were not there, some one else to share the waves with that might end up in you not getting a wave. we (surfers) often hold a belief that body boarding takes less skill then surfing so you are not worthy of the wave (not saying that it's right). I've seen surf snobs do it to other surfers all the time because of lack of skill.

2nd Helping
Between its answering-machine message, its local advertising and the way staff members drop the news every chance they get, Sacre Bleu wants to make it clear that the place is under new ownership and new management. And -- mon Dieu! -- that seems to have made all the difference.
When Sacre Bleu opened two years ago, it touted itself as something exciting, even unique for Denver diners ("Good God!," July 13, 2000). But it turned out that some diners were getting a little too excited, sometimes in the eatery's large bar, with its plushly upholstered booths and mirrored tables, to the point where locals started referring to it as "Sacre Blow." By the time owner Julie Payne threw the thing back at her ex-husband, Michael Payne, Sacre Bleu seemed to be on its way down the toilet like a Baggie in a drug bust.
But Payne has slowly, patiently, built the staff and clientele back up, first by hiring Hamilton Cowie to run the kitchen and assemble a more reasonably priced menu of upscale New American cuisine, then by bringing in Jeff Chow, a diplomat's diplomat, to run the front of the house.
Sacre Bleu
Closed location
Hours: 5-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday
5-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday
I watched that staff in action on a recent Friday evening, when the bar area nearly overflowed into the dining room, and the dining room, at 6:40 p.m., was completely empty. (By the time I left, the situation had reversed.) I chose my table, a two-top in the middle of the room, so I could do some people-watching of the bar crowd -- many of whom seemed to be taking advantage of Sacre Bleu's new, grazing-oriented bar menu -- but Chow quickly came over to ask if he could move me to a better table. He then spent the rest of the evening making sure every subsequent customer was happy, including an older gentleman who'd asked to be seated at a table instead of in the smoky bar to drink his martini.
I certainly was happy with everything, starting with a very generous portion of seared foie gras -- officially the largest in town, and believe me, I've had them all -- that arrived atop a pile of Port-poached pears, all floating in a satiny, sweet Poire William demi-glace made from the pear-enhanced liqueur. And it was a savvy move on the part of my server, Sara, to recommended a half glass of Sauternes with the duck liver. (Sara, by the way, had worked at Sacre Bleu during the old regime and has returned now that things have settled down.) I was just as delighted with a bowl of smooth, perfumey butternut-squash soup augmented by a purée of chestnuts and sage-flecked croutons: Chow told me the real secret was in the vanilla bean Cowie used in the stock. My entree, flawlessly grilled salmon sitting on a toasty cake of sushi rice, boasted a flavor combination worthy of superlatives. The liquid around the fish and rice was a lemon-tart nage (a court bouillon used to cook the fruit) whose tartness was made stronger and even sweeter by the addition of bursting-ripe cherry tomatoes.
But the finale was the topper, one of the best molten-centered chocolate cakes I've ever tested. Less cakey shell and more gooey center than most, it was like eating pudding crafted from fine chocolate.
My God, it was good.

Teen threatened by neighbor while retrieving basketball
Display comments as
(Linear | Threaded)
This type of thing goes on in my neighborhood all the times. Teens think they can just come on to my private property. I have every right to tell them to leave, even yell at them if I want. When they threaten me, I have every right to defense myself. The police need to back the law-abiding property owners in this county, not juvenile delinquents.
So the teen should be threatened for going to get a ball? We should not waste the cops time over something like this.
This property owner needs to focus on the real problem which has nothing to do with a basketball. The police need to be become involved when the teens are engaged in truly illegal activities. Keep in mind, however, that the property owner does not appear to be the one who even called the police.

However, none of them felt as real as I wanted them to. I have LIGHT-MARES on movies. I will be on a film and all of a sudden, I'll fly up in the middle of the night and say MEDUSA!!!!! This is what happened to me on The Greatest Game. Looking for the inspiration to create this new effect light came to me on one cold winter's night in Montreal. My DIY light is the Medusa light, and I feel it is one of the most realistic lights for creating this wonderful effect.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced that Bayer HealthCare's Japanese subsidiary, Bayer Yakuhin Ltd, has received approval for EYLEA (aflibercept) Injection by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan for the treatment of patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
This new indication includes macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in addition to the previously-approved indication of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
The approval is based on positive results from the double-masked, randomized, active-controlled phase 3 VIBRANT study in patients with visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to BRVO. The primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects who gained at least 15 letters in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline at week 24, as measured on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Scale (ETDRS) eye chart, a standard chart used in research to measure visual acuity. More than half of the patients who were treated with aflibercept solution for injection gained at least three lines of vision.
Bayer HealthCare and Regeneron are collaborating on the global development of EYLEA. Regeneron maintains exclusive rights to EYLEA in the United States. Bayer HealthCare licensed the exclusive marketing rights outside the United States, where the companies share equally the profits from sales of EYLEA, except for Japan where Regeneron receives a percentage of net sales.

Mr Sundar Subramanian, senior vice president and global delivery head, Cognizant (Healthcare practice), Singapore
Singapore: As the healthcare sector around the world shifts towards a patient-centric paradigm, patients and healthcare organizations need better and smarter ways to access, interpret and store the large amounts of data surrounding each patient. Stakeholders now focus not only on the episode of care, but also on the entire patient interaction suite: patient history, preventive health and wellness, diagnostics, devices, therapies, post-treatment processes, chronic disease management, and even structures for patient interaction and education. Data management is crucial for the connected health strategy of any healthcare organization.
Big data offers healthcare organizations the opportunity to achieve multiple benefits, including improved quality of patient care and reduced costs. By generating actionable insights from information in clinical, non-clinical, and consumer-enabled wellness sources, these players can identify opportunities and predict behavior and outcomes in order to improve the overall healthcare system, making connected health a reality.
Big Data = Big Challenges
Big data means large volumes of different types of data in different formats arriving in an endless stream. This creates not only expected processing challenges, but also challenges around how to meaningfully interpret the variety of data-much of it not described using consistent standards or metadata-into information and recommendations, while eliminating noise and erroneous data. There are also challenges around using big data for healthcare:
• Accuracy: Patients tend to understate factors such as smoking and failure to comply with treatment, and some overstate factors such as exercise. These biases need to be identified and corrected or passive techniques applied to acquire data that does not have self-reported bias.
• Privacy: There is reluctance to divulge personal information because of concerns about privacy. Incentives, security and privacy guarantees must be enhanced to address these concerns.
• Consistency: Standards need to be developed and implemented to promote consistency, increase usefulness and facilitate data usage.
• Facility: Mechanisms need to be developed to make it easy for patients to self-report data accurately. This includes evolving passive mobile computing devices that require no effort. Ideas such as fostering community among patients to encourage self-reporting, accuracy and sharing are also needed. Techniques are needed to get data from healthy people to make the populations truly representative and not biased by the ill.
• Fragmentation: Healthcare data is notoriously fragmented. There is also unwillingness among healthcare participants to share data-this should improve as new models emerge and encourage players to cooperate, but other incentives need to evolve.
Regardless of the challenges, mobile computing and big data are central to improving healthcare outcomes and quality. Mobile computing provides data that is aggregated into big data warehouses with other data including medical, administrative, and demographic data. As health platforms support multiple medical devices, rather than just fitness trackers, analytics can be effectively used to mine this information, spot trends, draw inferences, and make predictions that can then be shared with healthcare constituents to improve quality outcomes and optimize the spend.

They also infer that Treyarch will be the developer. Advertisement TVGB says that Noah Heller is involved with this supposed CoD 7; he was the senior producer on World at War, which is taken to mean that Treyarch will be back in the saddle. Sounds about right, as Infinity Ward is developing Modern Warfare 2, with a release date about six months out.Of course, TVGB points out that, last year, Heller told Official Xbox Magazine that "we are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war," and "we're happy that we put the war to bed," meaning no more World War II-era shooters for them. But around the same time, he also said. "I can't say that there won't ever be a WWII Call of Duty game again." The rumored music genres are intriguing. I'm not intimate with the history here, but if we're talking about Cuban and African music, could that mean someone's envisioning, or at least considering, CIA-type secret war operations of the 1960s and 1970s? That might expand this to Call of Duty: The Cold War as opposed to just Vietnam or Southeast Asia. Advertisement Per our policy, we've asked Activision for comment. But it's useful to remember that they and many other big publishers have a standing policy of not commenting on rumor and speculation.Call of Duty 7 in Vietnam, Cuba?

Roger Shilling and Avery Velek hope to help pave the way for soccer players in Columbus.
The 11-year-olds recently were accepted to and competed in the Olympic Development Program Academy Camp at Belhaven College in Jackson.
Terry Eguaoje, the ODP Academy Camp director, said U.S. Soccer uses the ODP to attract the best talent it has in soccer from all age groups. He said the program, which is in its second year, is a feeder system into the regional and, eventually, the U.S. National Teams.
"The camp opens opportunities for each kid to be in the Mississippi State ODP team and to travel for regional tournaments, where we pick the national teams," Eguaoje said. "I thought it was a good experience for the kids. Many of them had not left home and now there were in a camp for four days training at the highest level. A lot of them loved it."
The camp ran from June 28-July 2 and featured individual and team work. Eguaoje said the emphasis was to train players at the highest level and to introduce them to some of the skills and strategies they will need to develop.
Eguaoje said younger players like Shilling and Velek can be invited to the ODP Camp, asked back, and then have opportunities to make the state teams that start with the Under-13 squad and go all of the way up to U-19.
In 2008-09, Shilling was a starting forward and led his Columbus United Soccer team in goals. Velek was a starting back and led the team in steals and tackles.
Tom Velek, the director of competitive soccer for Columbus United Soccer, said Shilling and his son, Avery, won''t be guaranteed spots on the U.S. National Team because of their recent experience. He believes, though, that their opportunity to participate in the ODP Academy Camp will help other players in Columbus.
"I wish I could tell you the last Columbus player in the ODP," Velek said. "Columbus does not have a pipeline to get its players in the Olympic Development Program. We have to work very hard to get to a point where our players can participate in it, be aware of it, want to take the time and expense to do it, and to be motivated to do it. It is something we have to work very hard on as a program."
Velek said programs in Jackson and in the Tupelo area that have more history and tradition have easier times getting their players seen and involved in the ODP program. He hopes having two players from Columbus is the program this year can lead to having eight or 10 in its next year.
"We''d like to get to a point where we are like Jackson or the North Mississippi programs and we have a regular stream of kids who are interested, who are qualified, and who are getting asked to be in the program," Velek said. "Hopefully this is the beginning of getting kids in on a regular basis."
Velek said he and other members of the Columbus United Soccer club will continue to raise awareness about the ODP Academy Camp and to encourage their players to invest the time and the energy to improve.
He said Shilling and Velek started work in May with a private coach to get ready for their experience at the ODP Academy Camp.

Our one species of Eucladium can easily be recognized. The strongly papillose leaves typical of the Pottiaceae are obvious even in the field by the opaque appearance of the leaves. The plane-margined leaves place Eucladium as unusual in a family dominated by recurved margined leaves. Even under a hand-lens the glaucous leaves and rather long stems suggest identification, and the observation of crenulate margins even of the upper leaves causes one to look for the rather large, often binate teeth on the leaf margin at the intersection of the rectangular and pellucid basal cells with the quadrate and pluripapillose cells of the limb. Eucladium, especially in the arid interior of the state, is common along seeps and springs with high calcareous or alkaline content. It is often found in areas of tufa precipitation. Another common plant in such spots is Didymodon tophaceus, which has margins recurved proximally.

Rural Domestic Violence
Domestic violence, also called intimate partner violence, is a critical problem throughout the United States, with negative impact on victims, families, employers, and communities. The nature of close-knit rural communities can make it more difficult for rural victims of intimate partner violence to seek and get help.
Rural areas face challenges such as higher poverty, lower rates of health insurance coverage, and less access to healthcare and human services providers. All of these factors make the problems facing domestic violence survivors more difficult to address.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How prevalent is domestic violence?
- What do we know about rural domestic violence?
- Is it more difficult for rural women to seek and get help?
- Are treatment services available to domestic violence offenders in rural areas?
- How does rural poverty relate to domestic violence?
- What role does healthcare access play for domestic violence victims and survivors?
- Is access to legal services a problem in rural areas?
- What can rural communities do to address domestic violence?
How prevalent is domestic violence?
According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (2011), sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence are major public health problems in the United States.
The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is an ongoing, nationally representative telephone survey that collects information about experiences of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence among non-institutionalized English and/or Spanish-speaking women and men aged 18 or older in the United States.
Key Findings from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey include:
- Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.
- More than half (51.1%) of female victims of rape reported being raped by an intimate partner and 40.8% by an acquaintance.
- One in 6 women (16.2%) and 1 in 19 men (5.2%) have experienced stalking victimization at some point during their lifetime in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.
What do we know about rural domestic violence?
An analysis of homicides across a 20-year period from 1980 through 1999 found that rates of intimate partner murder in rural areas were higher than in non-rural areas.
Several differences exist in urban and rural areas that can explain why the rate of family and intimate partner murder might be higher in rural areas. These factors include: the geography of rural areas facilitates the kind of isolation that supports rural family violence as well as in rural communities, people are more likely to know each other.
The literature on rural women and children point to the following factors that influence rates of domestic and family abuse:
- social and physical isolation
- lack of education
- less political and social autonomy for women than for men, along with a more traditionalist, conservative view of women and children
- poverty and economic distress
- population loss and particularly the outmigration of young people
- the inaccessibility of services to enhance the health and well-being of women and children
Source: Rural and Urban Trends in Family and Intimate Partner Homicide: 1980-1999
In a study from the Carsey Institute titled Civil Protective Orders Effective in Stopping or Reducing Partner Violence, they examine urban and rural differences in the community context of partner violence and the effectiveness of protective orders. Key findings include:
- Civil protective orders are effective in reducing partner violence for many women.
- The impact of civil protective orders on reducing violence and abuse did not differ for rural and urban women.
- Community-level barriers to enforce civil protective orders exist for women in rural areas.
Is it more difficult for rural women to seek and get help?
Rural relationships tend to be closely knit. Relationships or familiarity with healthcare providers and/or law enforcement officials may affect victims' willingness to discuss abuse or violence. Similarly, relationships with an abuser may limit the extent to which an abuse or violence claim is investigated. The culture of some rural communities can make it more difficult for women to seek help.
Communities where men and women tend to stay in traditional roles, where people avoid asking for help, and where there is less awareness of domestic violence and its impact on victims and children are communities where it is harder for domestic violence victims to seek out the resources they need.
Source: Rural and Urban Trends in Family and Intimate Partner Homicide: 1980-1999Are treatment services available to domestic violence offenders in rural areas?
In most rural communities, offender treatment options are limited. Communities and individuals who want to start an offender treatment program in their community can learn more from:
- Minnesota Program Development: The Duluth Model
- Emerge: Counseling and Education to Prevent Domestic Violence
Both provide training on domestic violence offender treatment.
How does rural poverty relate to domestic violence?
Rural poverty is a particular concern regarding domestic violence. Studies have shown that poverty and domestic violence are related. Poverty greatly contributes to family and relationship stress and limits victims' ability to leave abusive partners or family members. Nonmetropolitan poverty rates are higher than those in metropolitan regions for many demographic groups.
In some situations, poverty may exacerbate the likelihood of experiencing domestic violence. Poor women may feel trapped in unhealthy relationships if they have fewer options to support themselves and less social support to offer financial help. Survivors of domestic violence report that successful transition away from their abusers are often made with the assistance of social services such as shelters and counseling.
Source: Domestic Violence, Poverty, and Social Services: Does Location Matter?, 2010
What role does healthcare access play for domestic violence victims and survivors?
A shortage of healthcare providers is a constant challenge for rural Americans, particularly when addressing survivors of domestic violence who may need physical or mental health treatment to recover from the effects of abuse.
Is access to legal services a problem in rural areas?
Domestic violence survivors may be in need of legal assistance for protection orders, divorces, child custody proceedings and other legal matters that are a consequence of abuse or violence. In rural areas, it can be more difficult to find an affordable lawyer or legal aid. Law enforcement and the courts in rural communities may be less familiar with issues of domestic violence and appropriate responses.
For a list of legal aid services in your state, please see the Legal Services Corporation's list of LSC-funded programs.
What can rural communities do to address domestic violence?
A Coordinated Community Response (CCR), in which healthcare providers, community groups, criminal justice, and social service agencies work together, is considered one of the best approaches to addressing domestic violence. Some of the characteristics of CCR programs include a shared philosophical approach, understanding of the each group's role, and a plan to work together to improve the community's response to violence against women. The CCR approach provides a more unified response to victim needs while holding offenders accountable for their actions.
For more information about using CCR to address domestic violence, please see the Family Violence Prevention Fund's publication Preventing Family Violence: Community Engagement Makes the Difference.
