[Galloway] said: "You have to be aware if you do [ | offend people's beliefs] you will get blowback. You should do it very carefully, especially if you are a public service broadcaster."
"Is that a threat?" asked Rushdie during the debate at the Media Guardian Edinburgh international television festival.

Trademarks - Trademark Lawyers
A trademark includes any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination used, or intended to be used, in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. In short, a trademark is a brand name.
Use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by local, state, or foreign laws and the laws of a pertinent jurisdiction to identify the marks that a party claims rights to. The federal registration symbol, the R enclosed within a circle, may be used once the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol may not be used before the mark has actually become registered.
The federal registration symbol should only be used on goods or services that are the subject of the federal | trademark registration.
A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories.
The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark. However, registration | [

So naturally, everyone wants to know what Robert Shiller thinks of today's stock prices, now perched at a four-year high. Or about the direction of home prices.
Keep your hopes in check. Shiller is disinclined these days to offer specific predictions about the direction of stocks, home prices or any other asset whose prices can surge or plunge before we can fully grasp what's going on.
In his 2000 book "Irrational Exuberance," Shiller warned of a stock-market bubble. Five years later, Shiller detected a bubble in home prices and argued that it posed a grave threat.
Shiller, a Yale economist, is co-creator of the widely followed Standard & Poor's | /Case-Shiller home price index. He has been widely ranked among the most influential economists in the world.
Despite his accurate past warnings, Shiller, 65, is generally skeptical of his profession's ability to foresee shifts in the economy. Much of his recent work focuses on behavioral economics -- how psychology drives financial decision-making.
Shiller thinks home prices nationally could fall further. But he isn't | [

Political ads tend to be about one thing: pushing people’s buttons. Get a voter in the gut, and you’ve got him at the polls.
In tough economic times, a popular way to grab the white working class is by stirring up the us vs. them antagonism that simmers in the shadowy recesses of our lizard brains.
Resentment toward African-Americans has long been a focus of such appeals. Think Sen. Jesse Helms’s famous “white hands” ad from 1990, in which a Caucasian man’s hands are shown crumpling up a job-rejection notice as the narrator decries the quotas ostensibly championed by Helms’s (black) foe. More recently, Latinos have become the hot bogeyman.
One ethnic group largely exempt from such race baiting in recent years has been Asians. Widely regarded in the U.S. as a “model minority”—itself a bit of stereotyping—Asian caricatures have not generally been used to fan popular outrage. Until now. On Super Bowl Sunday, Michigan Senate candidate | Pete Hoekstra unveiled a TV spot featuring a young Asian woman riding a bicycle through rice paddies. In pidgin English, the woman thanks Sen.

Book Description: On its first appearance, The Screwtape Letters was immediately recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology and has since sold more than a quarter of a million editions. Now stunningly repackaged and rebranded as part of the Signature Classics range.

Posted on 07/28/2012 7:15:05 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot
It's astonishing. He doubled down. All he had to say is, 'We got it wrong the first time.' The British ambassador, today, said that the bust that's in his residence, the one that was returned when Obama came into office exactly as I had written -- 100% as I had written.
So not being able to deny it, he pretends that it never happened and he says the idea that the bust was returned is false. And then he talks about the reason that the bust was returned was because of antipathy. I never talked about antipathy. He should have honorably have said, 'We made a mistake...... that would have been the end of [the] story.
That would have been honorable, but you don't expect that out of this communications office in | this White House.

But of course, they are the smartest bunch of people ever assembled into the WH, starting from their big guy. And it is impossible that they could have ever'made a mistake' as Charles Krauthammer suggested them say.

The Patriots, after a 59-0 victory over the Titans, are top of the table in the A.F.C. East, as they say in Britain, and appear as able to decimate a weak team in London as they were in Foxborough last Sunday.
But the Bucs’ owner, Malcolm Glazer, knows something about winning football games in England. He owns Manchester United of the Premier League, the most dominant team in England over the past decade. The Patriots of England, you might say.
Glazer bought a controlling interest in Man United at the end of the 2005 European soccer season and, since then, the Red Devils have won three league titles and one European Champions League crown. And while the Glazer family maintains that the two teams are | separate entities, they both put money in their owner’s pocket. On the field, United’s consistent, dominant success stands in stark contrast to the Bucs’ mediocre record.

PW: You've said that you wrote The Noonday Demon because it was the book that you wanted to read, but couldn't find, when you became depressed. Its scope is unusually broad, moving from autobiography to sociology to literary criticism. Did you envision this wide range of approaches when you began writing it?
AS: I started off with a fairly broad agenda but it quickly grew. I began by writing about my own experience, then interviewed other people, and then went onto the obvious biochemical issues and the psychology. From there I began to see that the book could really be a window on the human experience. Most books on depression focus on one idea—causes, self-help, science—but I wanted to grapple with the complexity of the illness and the question, what does it mean to be human?
PW: How much basic research did you have to do to gain an understanding of the science and chemistry of depression?
AS | : It's funny, I went to a serious scientific conference five years ago and the very topics of the papers seemed hilarious in their obscurity. But toward the end of writing the book, I went back to interview many of those same people and their material seemed straightforward. I essentially changed my whole educational focus and became conversant with scientific knowledge I would never have dreamed of knowing before. This is one of the ways that the book grew and made me understand the complexity of the issues as well as my own involvement with them | [

The quarterly report called the Measure of CEO Confidence, improved in the fourth quarter of 2012 after dipping in the third quarter. It rose to 46, up four points from a reading of 42 in the third quarter. Our note of caution here is that it takes a reading above 50 to reflect more positive than negative responses.
We also saw some improvement in the employment picture in December. The Conference Board Employment Trends Index rose to 109.02 in December versus 108.19 in November, and that is actually 3.1% higher than a year ago.
Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board, said about the CEO index, “CEO Confidence improved in the final quarter of 2012, despite the cloud of fiscal uncertainty. | However, CEO sentiment remains pessimistic by historical standards.

"Endemic" species are limited to a discrete geographical area, often within one country and are therefore more vulnerable to threats.

God is calling me to serve in member care to cross-cultural workers. The Apostle Paul is a great example of someone who received care from believers who supported him, ministered to him and visited in him jail. Cross-cultural workers today also experience needs, trials, and challenges. Through pastoral counseling, spiritual formation, crisis care, training, and meeting practical needs, I hope to serve the whole person throughout the various stages of the career of the cross-cultural worker.
After working as a telecommunications engineer for four and a half years, I moved into full-time cross-cultural work, taking a one-year program in Linguistics and Bible Translation. I have since lived cross-culturally in Papua New Guinea, Peru, India, Bangladesh, and Costa Rica for periods of two months to two years. As a Pastoral Counseling student I am currently doing my internship at a missions-minded church in Columbia and also work as an assistant to the director of the Pastoral Counseling program at CIU.

"The next real literary ‘rebels’ in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of anti-rebels, born oglers who dare somehow to back away from ironic watching, who have the childish gall actually to endorse and instantiate single-entendre principles. Who treat of plain old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and hip fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that’ll be the point.

/MyMusicCloud) - Every year, cell phone makers tempt consumers with the next wave of sleeker, shinier mobile devices. Oftentimes, the transition is simple --as long as you stay with the same brand. If you're considering switching to a different operating system, however, you're probably already asking yourself one crucial question. "How do I transfer my digital music collection when I make the switch?"
Most mobile operating systems aren't designed to play nicely with one another, making it more difficult than it should be to transfer music files from, let's say, a Droid phone to an iPhone -- or vice versa. In fact, music lovers still struggle to obtain access to all of their music all of the time. Some songs are on the computer, others on the tablet, and even more may be on the phone.

STAMFORD, Conn. — Rushton Skakel Sr., brother of Ethel Kennedy, father of convicted murderer Michael Skakel and patriarch of what was once one of the wealthiest families in the nation, died Thursday at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center after a long battle with brain illness, his attorney said. He was 79.
Family members, including Michael's older brother, Thomas, traveled to Hobe Sound, to make arrangements for a service in Florida scheduled for today. Preparations also are being made for a wake, funeral service and burial in Greenwich, Conn. later next week.
Rushton Skakel was one of seven children born to George and Ann Skakel. His sister, Ethel, married the late Robert F. | Kennedy Jr. in 1950, forging an alliance between one of the wealthiest families in the country and one of the most politically powerful.
Rushton Skakel took over the family business, Great Lakes Carbon, in the mid-1960s, after the deaths of his parents and brother, George Skakel Jr., in separate plane crashes. The company, once one of the largest private companies in the country, and was the source of the family's enormous wealth, according to published accounts.

Reading beat Sunderland’s record by one point when they reached the 106 mark this afternoon thanks to a late Graeme Murty penalty.

Exhausted, maybe, from his mighty labors over the previous fifteen years or so--from Johnny Boy to Travis Bickle to young Vito Corleone to Michael hunting deer to Rupert Pupkin to Jake LaMotta--with Satan and Tuttle and Al Capone on the side--De Niro seems ready to settle down a little--a little. I was worried that Midnight Run was just going to be Planes, Trains and Automobiles with guns and cursing--and in some ways it is; but the closer comparison is the hate-love between the leads. Like Steve Martin and John Candy, De Niro and Charles Grodin would seem not just mismatched but out of kilter, non-meshing gears turning and turning. Both pairs know this, though, and use it in such a satisfying way that it was easy to forget how opposed the actors are--because that's the point, of course.

Remember herpes? According to Time magazine (Aug. 2, 1982 edition), it was the Bubonic plague of the time, sure to run rampant over the general population and spell the end of the one night-stand.

(13) UCLA (3-0) vs. Georgetown (2-0) (ET)
GAME NOTES: Two teams that are finally hitting the road for the first time this season meet up in the Empire State on Monday night, as the Georgetown Hoyas clash with the UCLA Bruins in the semifinals of the 2012 Progressive Legends Classic.
The Bruins have enjoyed the comforts of the refurbished Pauley Pavilion, after having been forced to play their home games last season at two nearby venues. Already this year the squad has victories over Indiana State, UC Irvine and James Madison, the last two as part of this tournament. For head coach Ben Howland, this is the sixth time in 10 seasons that his UCLA club has started off 3-0.
The better news for UCLA is that they've gotten off to a fast start without freshman Shabazz Muhammad who was initially ruled ineligible by the NCAA after it was determined the heralded prospect received nearly $1,600 in impermissible benefits during the recruiting process. Late last week Muhammad was reinstated after serving a three-game suspension.
As for | the Hoyas, members of the Big East Conference, they are 2-0 on the young season after taking out Duquesne and Liberty in a pair of home dates, but the squad won those games by a mere 15 points combined.
The Bruins won both previous meetings between these two squads, the most recent being a narrow 71-70 final in Washington back in 2003.

WASHINGTON — Three weeks after Gretna, La., became a lightening rod of controversy when city officials ordered armed law enforcement officers to blockade a main escape route from New Orleans, effectively trapping thousands of people trying to flee the post-Hurricane Katrina horrors festering in the Big Easy, Gretna’s mayor is defending the action.
“It was the right thing to do at the time,” Mayor Ronnie Harris said. And to underscore that fact and perhaps take a little political heat off Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson, the Gretna City Council just passed a resolution supporting the move to block the bridge.
Blockading the bridge “wasn’t a unilateral decision by the city of Gretna,” Harris said, “but by a joint decision between the Jefferson Parish sheriff’s office, the city of Gretna and the Crescent City Connection police, which is a division of the state department of transportation.”
On Sept. 1, three days after Katrina | left her mark on the region, the blockade went into effect and stayed there until Labor Day.

I first met David Fritzler back in January when fellow WLDC author Samer and I watched him pour up an impressive flaming Blue Blazer at Tryst. You might think such pyrotechnics indicate a showy brash personality, but that’s far from the case.

Currency Trader Facing Criminal, SEC Charges
February 15, 2012, 9:47 AM
SIOUX FALLS, SD -
A foreign money trader is facing federal criminal and securities charges.
Jeffery Lowrance already has a multimillion-dollar civil judgment against him in South Dakota. He was accused of defrauding hundreds of investors in a Ponzi scheme.
Lowrance was arrested in Peru last February. He's now in federal custody in Illinois.
He pleaded not guilty in federal court to mail and wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors say he intended to swindle 400 investors out of more than $25 million.
Lowrance's lawyer didn't respond to a call seeking comment.
About 200 plaintiffs in the 2009 South Dakota case were awarded nearly $180 million in damages after Lowrance failed to respond to the lawsuit.

‘Dude, I can’t believe this. I can’t believe this.”
Alice Hagopian of Montclair, Calif., is backstage at the Gilroy Garlic Festival Great Garlic Cook-off, amazed at the second place finish of her Garlic Appetizer De-Lites amongst the scores of submissions nationwide. Hagopian is celebrating her win by happily snacking on the other top 10 dishes that qualified for last Saturday’s final.
“I can’t believe I held up through this pressure,” she grins, sampling some Curry Seafood Gumbo with Saffron Sake Rice. “All 200 pounds of me. I gotta go on a diet when I get back.”
Her candor is endearing. It’s not altogether unlike her straightforward, practical approach in the kitchen, which for the busy gourmet gives her recipes increased appeal.

Legendary Dragon suffered aneurysm?
By TIM BAINES - Ottawa Sun
The interview had been a couple of weeks in the making.
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat was going to be on the other end of the phone talking about the new DVD, Ricky Steamboat: The Life Story of the Dragon.
After one postponed interview, Emily Alonzo, publicist for E1 Entertainment, distributor of the WWE videos in Canada, sent along the news that the 57-year-old Dragon would only be able to do the interview via e-mail. I would have to submit questions.
No go, I said. That would take away any spontaneity.

Included are matches against | Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Austin and "Ravishing" Rick Rude. Steamboat’s Intercontinental championship match against Randy "Macho Man" Savage is a Wrestlemania classic.

Download link “Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2”
Our purpose in Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 is to point out both
the new and the improved in the latest version of SQL Server. Because this
version is Release 2 (R2) of SQL Server 2008, you might think the changes are
relatively minor—more than a service pack, but not enough to justify an entirely
new version. However, as you read this book, we think you will find that there are a
lot of exciting enhancements and new capabilities engineered into SQL Server 2008 R2
that will have a positive impact on your applications, ranging from improvements
in operation to those in management. It is definitely not a minor release!
Who Is This Book For?
This book is for anyone who has an interest in SQL Server 2008 R2 and wants to
understand | its capabilities. In a book of this size, we cannot cover every feature
that distinguishes SQL Server from other databases, and consequently we assume
that you have some familiarity with SQL Server already. You might be a database
administrator (DBA), an application developer, a power user, or a technical
decision maker. Regardless of your role, we hope that you can use this book to
discover the features in SQL Server 2008 R2 that are most beneficial to you.

STOCKHOLM – Defending gold medallist Sweden announced their 25-man roster for the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World U20 Championship in Ufa, Russia. Coach Roger Rönnberg brings six returnees from Calgary 2012, but the three biggest stars are missing.
After 31 years without a World Junior gold medal, Rönnberg finally led Sweden to a win last year in Canada. In an epic final, Mika Zibanejad scored the only goal of the game in overtime and ended the streak of more than three decades of failure.
In his last World Juniors as the coach of the Swedish team, Rönnberg has named six returnees from 2012, all forwards: Jeremy Boyce Rotevall, Sebastian Collberg, Filip Forsberg, William Karlsson, Victor Rask and Rickard Rakell.
The 25-man roster (will have to be trimmed down to 20 skaters and 3 goalies come Ufa) includes six players who represent North American clubs.

Federal officials responsible for the nation's volunteer service center reportedly yanked two participants working in a Planned Parenthood of New York City office after determining their activities violated program guidelines.
The two women had been working at the clinic for nine months before attracting attention from the Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs AmeriCorps, over activities they performed, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The roles of the women didn't raise red flags because of the abortion services Planned Parenthood provides, the newspaper reported, noting that AmeriCorps bans "providing abortion services or referrals for such services," but because the two may have violated rules on "attempting to influence legislation" and "organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes."
A spokeswoman for the Corporation for | National and Community Service, Ranit Schmelzer, said federal officials informed state officials on May 18 "to take prompt action to prevent two New York City Civic Corps members from engaging in prohibited activities," according to the paper.

Men with high risk for heart disease had lower blood pressure after drinking non-alcoholic red wine every day for four weeks, according to a new study in the American Heart Association journal Circulation Research.
Non-alcoholic red wine increased participants' levels of nitric oxide, which helped decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, researchers said. Nitric oxide is a molecule in the body that helps blood vessels relax and allows more blood to reach your heart and organs.
Researchers studied 67 men with diabetes or three or more cardiovascular risk factors who ate a common diet plus one of the following drinks: about 10 ounces of red wine, non-alcoholic red wine or about 3 ounces of gin. All of the men tried each diet/beverage combination for 4 weeks.
The red wine and nonalcoholic wine contained equal amounts of polyphenols, an antioxidant that decreases blood pressure.
During the red wine phase, the men had very little reduction in blood pressure and there was no change while drinking gin. However, after drinking non-alcoholic red wine, blood pressure decreased by about 6mmHg in systolic and 2mmHg in diastolic blood pressure — possibly reducing the risk of heart disease by | 14 percent and stroke by as much as 20 percent.
Researchers concluded that the alcohol in red wine weakens its ability to lower blood pressure. But polyphenols — still present after alcohol is removed from wine — are likely the beneficial element in wine.
