A victory for Facebook in its case against typosquatters -- those who own domain names that are similar to those of a popular site, which they use to confuse people and potentially capitalize on that. The U.S. District Court for Northern California has ruled in favor of the social network in an action it took against several squatters, recommending the turnover of 105 domains and statutory damages of $2,795,000.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/T8Y4vGZzxVI/

Walmart Canada, Costco Canada, Metro, Loblaw, Safeway Canada, Federated Co-operatives, Sobeys and Co-op Atlantic ? all eight of Canada?s largest supermarket chains ? have pledged to eliminate the use of pork housed in gestation crates from their supply chains in the next nine years.
The agreement, which is supported by the Humane Society International/Canada and The Humane Society of the United States, comes at a time when Canada?s National Farm Animal Care Council is reviewing and revising its codes of practice and is considering a nationwide phase-out of gestation crates.
Gestation crates measure about 2 feet by 7 feet and are used to tightly confine breeding pigs ? to the point where they cannot turn around ? for most of their lives. Pigs are transferred to another cage to give birth, re-impregnated and put back into a gestation crate.
Numerous other food and beverage companies as well as restaurant chains in Canada and the US have made similar sustainable supply chain announcements over the past year.
Canada?s largest fast food chain Tim Hortons announced this month it would eliminate gestation crates in its pork supply chain by 2022. The fast food chain said it would work with governmental and industry entities to end the use of gestation crates across Canada.
Bob Evans, a restaurant chain with more than 700 locations and a food product manufacturer, Applebee?s, IHOP, Marriot International, General Mills, Au Bon Pain and Williams Sausage Co., all made announcements this year to eliminate gestation crates in their supply chains.
ConAgra Foods, producer of such products as Slim Jim beef jerky and Hebrew National hot dogs, announced last year that by 2017 it expects all of its suppliers to produce action plans aimed at eliminating gestation crates for sows. Dunkin Donuts made the same commitment. However, the company did not provide a date when they plan to achieve this.
Last February, McDonalds announced it was demanding all of its US pork suppliers supply it with plans to phase out the use of sow gestation stalls by May 2012.

The Department of the Treasury announced yesterday that it will begin paying down the debt for the first time in six years this quarter. But experts say the plan is less than meets the eye.
The Treasury expects to pay down $35 billion between April and June, up from an earlier projected borrowing amount of $103 billion.?This is the first quarter money has been allocated to pay down on the debt since the April to June quarter of 2007.
The Department points to policy changes that provided the Treasury with more revenue this quarter. The changes include?the expiration of the payroll tax holiday, sequestration of federal spending, and reported profits from the housing loan guarantors?Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
But according to some economists, this?announcement?will have little or no effect on the long term budget woes facing the country.
?It?s hard for me to get excited,? former director of the Congressional Budget Office and president of the American Action Forum Douglas Holtz-Eakin told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
?What you?d like to have is a budget that balances on average,? Holtz-Eakin lamented. ?What we have instead in a budget that bleeds red ink on average. There isn?t a month or two that changes that.?
Others still point to the announcement as a sign the economy is moving in the right direction.

Apr. 30, 2013 ? Childhood adversity can lead to chronic physical and mental disability in adult life and have an effect on the next generation, underscoring the importance of research, practice and policy in addressing this issue, according to a Viewpoint in the May 1 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on child health.
David A. Brent, M.D., of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Pittsburgh, presented the Viewpoint at a JAMA media briefing.
Dr. Brent and co-author Michael Silverstein, M.D., M.P.H., of the Boston University School of Medi-cine, write that early child adversity, defined as child maltreatment, exposure to domestic violence, or living with a household member with serious mental illness, has been linked to myriad chronic conditions associated with premature death: smoking, substance abuse, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, and attempted suicide. They add that causal pathways between early adversity and these multiple outcomes are thought to be mediated by changes in stress responsivity, and that animal models have demonstrated that these effects are transmitted from parent to child through epigenetic (the effect of environment on gene expression) mechanisms. "While the pathways by which adversity exerts its effects have not been as elegantly elaborated in humans, it is posited that these epigenetic changes can contribute to immune dysfunction, insulin resistance, and cognitive difficulties that in turn lead to risky behavior and predispose to emotional lability [instability] and depression."
"The good news is that, if detected early enough, the impact of family adversity on child health outcomes can be reversed, or at least attenuated. For example, if maternal depression is treated to remission, the patients' children show symptomatic and functional gains. Economic interventions that provide local employment and move parents out of poverty have been shown to be temporally related to a decreased risk for behavioral disorders in the children of the assisted families. Earlier foster placement can, to some extent, reverse the deleterious neurobiological and cognitive effects of extreme deprivation in infancy."
The authors write that these findings about early adversity and its sequelae have important implications for research, practice, and policy. With regard to research, a better understanding of the biological mechanisms by which early adversity exerts its effects, "definition of the critical periods when such effects are particularly deleterious, and identification of effective approaches to their remediation or prevention are warranted. In addition, the shared roots of leading causes of worldwide disability (such as cardiometabolic disease and depression) suggest opportunities for synergy, because interventions that would prevent the development of these conditions would have a substantial effect on public health worldwide."
"For clinicians, given the potent and long-reaching effects of family adversity on health outcomes, knowledge can be empowering. Physicians must be taught about the effects of adversity, how to detect it, and what steps to take once identified. Screening, referral, and monitoring of the presence of adversity and its effects early in the child's life may prevent or attenuate the destructive multigenerational effects of dysfunctional parenting that occur as a consequence of untreated psychiatric disorder," they write.
The authors add that physicians must also be advocates for social policies that can help families achieve what all parents want -- a secure environment for their children to develop into competent adults. "Home visitation programs for at-risk families of infants have been shown to have long-term positive effects on physical and mental health, education, employment, and family stability. Access to quality preschool education can help to buffer the deleterious effects of poverty."
"The economic cost -- in excess health care utilization, nonresponse to treatment, incarceration, loss of employment, decrease in productivity, and disability -- weighs heavily on families burdened with adversity but ultimately is borne by society as a whole. In the drive to improve quality of health care and contain costs, the huge price tag to society of early adversity cannot be neglected. Through research, clinical care, and advocacy, physicians can shine a light on the dark shadow of adversity and diminish its reach from generation to generation. Society can either invest in combating the effect of adversity on families now, or pay later."

Major League Baseball has always been very strict about its content appearing on YouTube and other video streaming sites. Peruse YouTube for highlights from your favorite players and teams, and you'll find it nearly impossible to find quality footage. As soon as a clip from a game goes up on YouTube, it's taken down. Up until now, it's just a collection of slideshows and footage uploaded from fans' shaky hand-held cameras at the ballpark. Finally, Major League Baseball is stepping up its effort to tear down those walls.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/CsmmzU4aPTQ/
