Buying and selling domain names is big business. The nature of the birth of the internet is one of the great reasons why domain names have become so important, and have garnered so much monetary attention.
This year, 15 names used in Internet addresses have resold for at least six figures to companies and individuals hoping to tap into big audiences. On.com got $635,000. Macau.com fetched $550,000.
Sex.com went for a record $12 million in cash and stock to adult-entertainment company Escom in January, according to industry-trade reports and sources with knowledge of the deal, who declined to be named because of the private nature of the sale.

Standards are publications that establish accepted practices, technical requirements and terminologies for diverse fields of human endeavour. Standards serve three main purposes:
- To protect consumers by enhancing product transparency
- To benefit the safety and health of the public
- To facilitate domestic and international trade
In regards to furniture, most standards concern safety and health issues. Furniture – by its very nature - is not associated with great risks. Nevertheless, certain products have been deemed sufficiently dangerous by regulators to require the imposition of appropriate safety standards. This applies predominantly to (i) baby and children furniture, (ii) mattresses and upholstered furniture in regards to flammability, and (iii) furniture used in “high risk occupancies”, such as detention and correctional facilities, hospitals, mental institutions, school dormitories etc.

On April 19, 2007, the Michigan Court of Appeals issued an unpublished opinion in the case of Hernandez v Studio Plus Properties, Inc. and D and R Property Maintenance, LLC (No. 272658). Just another in the continuing series of terse, “Open and Obvious” decisions coming out of Michigan courts of review over the past dozen years. A little less than two and one-half pages in length, a little less than anything in the way of legal analysis. Recite a few facts, add some boilerplate, slap on the Open and Obvious tag and affirm the Circuit Court’s Summary Disposition Order. Ho-Hum.

Posted on January 31, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
There are two types of legally recognized way of committing sexual harassment: (1) Quid pro quo sexual harassment; and (2) Hostile environment harassment.
I. Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment
Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an employee is offered to be retained in his/her job or be promoted in exchange for sexual favors. In case of a student, the offer is to help receive a good grade or a favorable recommendation in exchange for sexual favors. The person who commits quid pro quo sexual harassment is a person with power to influence the victim’s employment or educational situation like a supervisor, manager or a teacher in case of a student. An example would be if a manager suggests that an employee goes out with him on a date or asks for a neck or back rub every so often in exchange for retaining her post or be promoted.

Gadolinium side effects have recently been linked to patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gadolinium for MRI is used to improve the visibility of internal organs and tissue so the radiologist can more easily detect abnormalities. A population-based study led by Dr. Aneet Deo revealed that patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) were at an increased risk for gadolinium side effects. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) was found in ESRD patients after gadolinium exposure.

Posted on January 30, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
There are relatively few types of assets that are statutorily protected from claims of creditors. Membership interests in limited liability companies (“LLCs”) and partnership interests are afforded a significant level of protection through the charging order mechanism.
The Importance of History
Before the advent of the charging order, a creditor pursuing a partner in a partnership was able to obtain from the court a writ of execution directly against the partnership’s assets, which led to the seizure of such assets by the sheriff. This result was possible because the partnership itself was not treated as a juridical person, but simply as an aggregate of its partners.

In your day-to-day life, whether it involves your job, studies or recreational activities or not, you should accept the reality that society has set up a system in which we must all comply with. Otherwise, breaking those rules will probably result to charges and lawsuits filed by other individuals and institutions including the government itself.

This is to be familiar with the steps on how to deal with certain issues involving legal matters or know more about the steps of preventing legal charges.

Posted on January 30, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
One of the most frequent types of cases seen in medical malpractice is the failure to diagnose cancer. Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases and occurs when cells become abnormal and keep dividing and forming more cells without control. If cells continue to divide when new cells are not needed, a mass of excess tissue is formed; this is a tumor. Tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Cancer cells can also invade nearby tissues or travel through the bloodstream to form additional tumors elsewhere. The spreading of cancer is referred to as metastasis.
