A domain name is your address on the web, which can make it vitally important. So, what do you do when someone tries to move onto your yard?
If you work on the web at all, you know that domain names can be very similar. This raises the question of when one domain crosses the line and infringes on another. The issue is often brought up with larger commercial sites when others register similar domains.

There’s an old joke that asks “How do you get to Cargenie Hall?” The answer is “Practice.”
The same can be said for becoming a medical malpractice lawyer in New York.
My first boss, a well-known trial attorney in New York, told me one day after an exhausting and productive day, that trial lawyers are not born great trial lawyers. Rather, they must practice their trade day in and day out. Only through experience and practice can one become a truly good lawyer.

The rule is quite simple, equal employment opportunity is available to any person without regard to his racial orientation, or his genetic characteristic that may be associated with his race. Even marriage to or association with someone of a marginalized ethnicity cannot be a basis for unjustly discriminating an employee.
The prohibition from discriminating against an employee because of race or perceived color covers not merely the hiring of employees but extends to promotion, compensation, job training, termination, or terms, privileges, and conditions of employment. Employment decisions on the basis of assumptions on abilities, and the performance of an individual based on the fact that the employee belongs to a particular ethnic or racial group is also abhorred.

What the Law Says
In China, neither domestic companies nor Foreign Invested
Enterprises may own land outright; instead they own Land Use
Rights. There are two kinds of Land Use Rights – Allocated and
Granted. In comparison with Western common law concepts,
Allocated Land Use Rights are in some way similar to
leaseholds, and Granted Land Use Rights are in some ways
similar to life estates.
Allocated Land Use Rights are generally provided by the
government for an indefinite period (usually to state-owned
entities) and cannot be pledged, mortgaged, leased, or
transferred by the user. Furthermore, Allocated land can be
reclaimed by the government at any time.
Effectively Making Online Gaming Illegal
Posted on February 16, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
In a rather interesting move, online gaming effectively became illegal recently do to a new piece of legislation. This move by the federal government raises a host of issues.
In what some consider a sneaky move, online gaming was effectively banned recently by a piece of law passed within another piece of law. This often happens in Congress to the frustration of many. In this case, Congress was set to pass the Safe Harbor Act, which was a piece of legislation concerning our ports from potential terrorist attacks. Online gaming, poker specifically, would seem to have little to do with terrorist and ports. Nonetheless, the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Act of 2006” was attached to it. When the Safe Harbor Bill received a favorable vote, the attached gambling act also became law. There was no separate vote.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - http://www.fda.gov:
The FDA is probably most thought of when the word “recall” comes up. It is obvious that the FDA deals with food and drug issues, but they are also in charge of testing, monitoring and recalling medical devices (pacemakers, contact lenses…), animal feed, cosmetics, and products with the potential to cause health-related side effects, such as cell phones and lasers. Although the FDA is in charge of “food,” they also share that responsibility with the next federal agency…
