PayPal, Inc. v. Tip Powers / Moniker Privacy Services
Complainant is PayPal, Inc. of San Jose, California, United States of America, represented by Hogan Lovells (Paris) LLP, France.
Respondent is Tip Powers of Ashburn, Virginia, United States of America. / Moniker Privacy Services of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States of America.
The disputed domain name <paypall.com> is registered with Moniker Online Services, LLC (the "Registrar").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on February 24, 2015. On February 25, 2015, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On March 3, 2015, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain name which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to Complainant on March 4, 2015 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. Complainant filed an amended Complaint on March 9, 2015.
The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amended Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on March 12, 2015. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was April 1, 2015. Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified Respondent's default on April 2, 2015.
The Center appointed M. Scott Donahey as the sole panelist in this matter on April 21, 2015. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
Complainant is a worldwide provider of online payment and money transfer services. Complaint, Annexes 3, 4, 5, and 9. Founded in 1998 and subsequently acquired by eBay, Inc., Complainant is the registrant of numerous domain names in which the Second Level Domain name is its registered service mark PAYPAL. Complaint, Annex 6. Complainant holds numerous service mark registrations with the United States Patent Office and the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market of the European Union for the PAYPAL mark. Complaint, Annex 12. The mark was registered in the United States as early as November 5, 2002, and in the European Union as early as January 8, 2000. Id.
Respondent registered the disputed domain name on June 14, 2006. Complaint, Annex 1. Respondent uses the disputed domain name to resolve to a pay-per-click web site with prominent links to web sites operated by Complainant or its parent, but also containing links to web sites operated by other business entities. Complaint, Annexes 10 and 11.
5. Parties' Contentions
Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's PAYPAL mark in that it is identical but for the additional "l" added immediately preceding the generic Top-Level Domain ("gTLD") suffix. Complainant alleges that Respondent is not an authorized distributor, licensee, or authorized dealer, nor does Respondent have any other rights or legitimate interests with respect to the disputed domain name. Finally, Complainant argues that Respondent had to know of Complainant's PAYPAL mark at the time it registered the disputed domain name, since it had not only been registered long before, but also that Complainant was at the time Respondent first registered the disputed domain name famous around the world. Complainant contends that the domain name is being used to attract Internet users to the site assuming that they are dealing with Complainant, that the site is designed to mislead the user that it is affiliated with Complainant, and that Respondent is generating revenue resulting from the confused user clicking on the links to other businesses. Complainant argues that this constitutes bad faith registration and use.
The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions.
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules instructs the Panel as to the principles the Panel is to use in determining the dispute: "A Panel shall decide a complaint on the basis of the statements and documents submitted in accordance with the Policy, these Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable."
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy directs that the complainant must prove each of the following:
1) that the domain name registered by the respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and,
2) that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and,
3) that the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
The disputed domain name is identical to Complainant's famous mark but for the addition of a final, additional "l". The addition or subtraction of one letter of a particular mark in the formation of a domain name has long been held to create a domain name that is confusingly similar to that mark. Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin v.Net-Promotion, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0347 (The use of the spelling "cliquot" in two of the disputed domain names was found to be confusingly similar to the CLICQUOT portion of the mark). Accordingly, the Panel finds that the disputed domain name <paypall.com> is confusingly similar to Complainant's PAYPAL mark.
The consensus view of WIPO panelists concerning the burden of establishing no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name is as follows:
"While the overall burden of proof rests with the complainant, panels have recognized that this could result in the often impossible task of proving a negative, requiring information that is often primarily within the knowledge of the respondent. Therefore a complainant is required to make out an initial prima facie case that the respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests. Once such prima facie case is made, respondent carries the burden of demonstrating rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. If the respondent fails to come forward with such appropriate allegations or evidence, a complainant is generally deemed to have satisfied paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the UDRP." WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Second Edition ("WIPO Overview, 2.0"), Section 2.1.
In the present case Complainant alleges that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name and Respondent has failed to assert any such rights. Accordingly, the Panel finds that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name.
Respondent registered the disputed domain name long after Complainant had begun its worldwide registration of PAYPAL marks, and also well after Complainant's PAYPAL mark had become famous as a certifier of origin of the payment services Complainant offered. Respondent has used the disputed domain name to resolve to a web site that is designed to mislead the Internet user into believing that it is somehow connected to Complainant. The site to which the disputed domain name resolves contains links to some of Complainant's web sites and to web sites of Complainant's parent, all of which are intended to convince the user that he or she has arrived at a site which is operated by or affiliated in some way with Complainant. Moreover, the web site to which the disputed domain name resolves also contains links to sites of other business from which Respondent sure receives pay-per-click revenues. The Panel finds that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <paypall.com> be transferred to Complainant.

For me, volunteering for Pilgrims Hospice Society as a massage therapist is all about the people. Offering a bit of comfort and a listening ear to those who are going through incredibly tough challenges.
Massage can play an important part in end-of-life care, providing comfort and help with pain management, circulation and swelling. I see massage as a way to show compassionate, quality of life care, through the emotional and physical healing power of touch.
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, especially in their final years, and Pilgrims offers just that. I'm so thankful to be at an age and stage in life where I'm able to volunteer and serve people in this way.
It's a joy to help and I look forward to each day I come. What I love most is getting to truly know the clients and hearing stories of their life. I am always blessed by their courage and beauty.

The Mermaid Hotel: Owner of Yeovil's oldest pub speaks after temporary closure
It is the second time in 12 months that the pub has shut
Stephen D'AlbiacContent Editor
The Mermaid Hotel in Yeovil has closed for the second time in less than 12 months
The brewery which owns Yeovil's oldest pub has spoken after it temporarily closed.
Palmers Brewery, which runs the Mermaid Hotel on High Street, says it hopes that the pub will re-open "in due course" after it shut its doors for the second time in less than 12 months .
The pub, which has been closed for several weeks, only reopened under new management in December after being empty for five months.
Tom Hutchings, trade manager at Palmers Brewery, said: "This is a temporary closure and we fully intend for the pub to reopen.
"It is a pub that we value and it is a landmark in Yeovil.
"We plan to do some maintenance work to the building. We are in discussions to find a suitable licensee to run it for us and we will be open in due course."
A notice has been put up on the door of the Mermaid Hotel in Yeovil
A notice on the door says that the pub is temporarily closed.
The words 'Kitchen closed' are chalked on a large blackboard on the outside of the building.
The Mermaid Hotel has been mentioned in records as early as 1517 and was recorded as the Miremaide in 1629, when it was one of just nine premises that were allowed to serve alcohol in Yeovil.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) did not celebrate the anniversary of his first and second inaugurations yesterday.
It is safe to say the honeymoon period from last year's re-election is well and truly over. This is Ma's second term in office and he has little to show for it. Few people are feeling like celebrating his administration's record, and the Presidential Office has announced there will be no official celebrations to mark the anniversary, sensing that not many people would turn up. It got that right.
The Ma administration is most proud of its record on cross-strait relations. An appraisal of the short-term outlook does suggest a falling off of saber rattling, and an increase in trade and traffic across the Taiwan Strait. However, with the nation's progressively pro-China stance the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty has, for the international community, been pushed onto the back burner and it is difficult to say what the long-term repercussions of this development in relations will be.
Taiwan's increased economic reliance on China is making it the periphery to China's center. This will likely impact our political future: Taiwanese saw how much influence China had on last year's presidential election.
If this trend continues, Taiwan will have unification forced upon it and will lose the ability to make its own political decisions.
Ma's China policy may seem like a step forward, but it is really just a milestone on the nation's road to decline.
To assess Ma's performance, one must first review his campaign promises.
He has talked of his "6-3-3" economic goals of 6 percent economic growth, US$30,000 average annual salary and under 3 percent unemployment within his first term, promising that if he failed to meet this target, he would forfeit half of his salary.
From July 2008 to June last year, the average economic growth rate was a meager 1.73 percent, far below the 4.7 percent average during the eight years former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) was in office. Currently, the average annual salary is not even US$20,000, let alone US$30,000. The government has blamed global economic factors and Ma has reneged on his promise to give away half his salary.
During the 2008 presidential campaign Ma swore he would resolve the problem of illicit assets held by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), but has yet to take any action. He has backtracked so far on tax reform over the contentious capital gains tax on securities transactions that the original proposals are hardly recognizable. Attempts to reintroduce the tax angered investors who would be eligible to pay it, leading to another U-turn by the government. Pension reform has gone much the same way, with the government afraid to offend civil servants for fear of losing their votes. The government has been forced to compromise on inter-professional and intergenerational justice, and half-baked reforms are not benefiting social justice or pension fund finances.
The Ma administration has often talked about corruption in the previous Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government, milking the corruption cases against Chen to divert attention from its own political travails.
However, Ma has not been able to keep his own house in order: His government has been plagued with more corruption scandals than the DPP government. Not only did former Executive Yuan secretary-general Lin Yi-shih (林益世) get caught with his hand in the cookie jar, one of Ma's trusted aides, KMT Taipei City Councilor Lai Su-ju (賴素如), has found herself the subject of a corruption investigation.

Q: Compute the worst case time complexity of the following algorithm, for i = 1 to n do for j = 1 to n do for k = 1 to i + j do print (i, j, k).  for i = 1 to n do

    for j = 1 to n do

        for k = 1 to i + j do

            print (i, j, k).

So here is what I've got
$\sum_{i=1}^n \ \sum_{j=1}^n \ \sum_{k=1}^{i+j} C\ $
$C\sum_{i=1}^n \ \sum_{j=1}^n \ \sum_{k=1}^{i+j} 1\ $
$C\sum_{i=1}^n \ \sum_{j=1}^n \ (i+j) $
$C\sum_{i=1}^n \ i\sum_{j=1}^n \ j $
$C\sum_{i=1}^n \ i\frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ \ $
$ \frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ C\sum_{i=1}^n \ i\frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ \ $
$ \frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ C \frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ \ $
$ \frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ C\sum_{i=1}^n \ i\frac{n (n+1)}{2} \ \ $
$ C \ (n^{2} +n) \\$
And since the term with the highest exponent dominates
$O( n^2)$
Now I'm a complete beginner, and I came up with this solution by going over my notes.
For all I know this is completely wrong from step 1.
Was this the correct solution? If not how would I solve this problem?

A: You setup correctly but made a mistake. The complexity is
$$
\begin{split}
N &= C \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{k=1}^{i+j} 1 \\
  &= C \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n (i+j) \\
  &= C \sum_{i=1}^n \left[in + \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right] \\
  &= C \left[ n \frac{n(n+1)}{2} + n \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right] \\
  &= \frac{2Cn^2(n+1)}{2} \\
  &= Cn^2(n+1) \\
  &= \Theta\left(n^3\right).
\end{split}
$$

US Securities Regulator Rejects BitConnect Records Request
"As investors in cryptocurrency have begun to understand, where you invest and store your money is critical in this space. "Here today, gone tomorrow" is a scary mantra, whether it be at exchanges like BitConnect, BitGrail, Kraken, or CoinCheck. Customers need to feel secure in their exchange of choice."
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has denied a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) regarding the BitConnect cryptocurrency investment scheme, citing an exemption usually applied to records tied to law enforcement.
The FOIA was sent by Florida lawyer David Silver, who though the law firm Silver Miller is representing clients in one of a number of lawsuits filed against BitConnect in recent weeks. Silver had previously sought a FOIA in relation to the controversial blockchain project Tezos, only to receive an identical rejection letter on Feb. 6.
As is the case with such letters, the SEC did not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, and the letter itself is not proof that an investigation. That said, Silver - who provided a copy of the newest letter to CoinDesk - said that he had been contacted by investigators from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding BitConnect, interpreting that as evidence that an inquiry is underway at the U.S. commodities trade regulator.
A representative for the CFTC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"The SEC and CFTC's decision to investigate BitConnect is far from surprising. The thousands of people who have contacted me over the last month have lost collectively over one billion dollars," Silver told CoinDesk in an email, adding:

A giant, 300 tonne capacity crane was drafted in to lift the beams into place.
The 11 metre long beams were lifted into place by a massive, 300 tonne capacity, mobile crane. The smallest of the beams weighed in at 6 tonnes with the largest weighing 32 tonnes.
Councillor Michael McCormick, Convener of Inverclyde Council's Environment & Regeneration Committee said, "This project will significantly improve the local road network, particularly in terms of creating a viable alternative route if there are problems on the A8. We appreciate that this has caused a lot of disruption and we thank local people for their patience. That patience will be visibly rewarded over the next 24 hours as all the essential components of the road deck and the parapets will be in place."
The £650,000 project is being funded by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). Martin Bartos, Chair of SPT was on site to watch the lifting operation. He said, "This is an important project that will improve road safety and cut congestion. The bridge is a key public transport artery and widening it will improve access for buses, making services more reliable and more attractive to the public.
"The new pavements will also be more than twice as wide as the existing ones, making them much more user friendly for pedestrians and cyclists – an important consideration as Chapelton Bridge is the one of the key routes to St John's Primary School."
The pre-stressed, concrete beams were manufactured in Northern Ireland. They are highly engineered components and only three firms in the UK had the engineering skills to make them.
In November 2018 Inverclyde Council started widening the single-lane Chapelton Bridge. The first phase of the project involved diverting the water, gas and electricity utilities that ran under the bridge. This was finished in December 2018. The second phase of the project involves widening the bridge deck itself. It started on Monday 11 February.
Port Glasgow Town Buildings
Designed and built by David Hamilton in 1815, the Doric portico" building has a steeple of 150ft topped with a fully rigged ship on the vane which is made of copper and is nearly six feet in length. The steeple, by some accounts, was once hit by lightning and lost nearly 20 foot of bricks and stonework. The building was home to the council chambers (Port Glasgow was made a burgh in 1775 and a council of 13 men appointed) up until this the council business was done in King Street. The building is still in use today having undergone a renovation it now holds the towns library.

FTSE 100 adds 47 points
US CPI set to hit 30 year high
ITV jumps after update
1.22pm: FTSE 100 hits peak for the day so far
Utilities are in demand, giving further support to the leading index as it hits a high for the day.
National Grid PLC (LSE:NG.) is up 2.75%, SSE PLC (LSE:SSE) has climbed 2.6% and Severn Trent (LSE:SVT) is 2.31% better.
With the rise in these defensive stocks, the FTSE 100 is up 47.55 points or 0.65% at 7321.53, a peak for the day so far.
12.08pm: US markets cautious ahead of inflation news
US stocks are expected to open lower as investors await the latest inflation data and stocks take a breather from their recent strong run.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.24% in Wednesday pre-market trading, while the broader S&P 500 index shed 0.34% and those for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.57%.
US stocks closed lower on Tuesday, ending an eight-day winning streak, with a 12% slide in Tesla's share price weighing on the Nasdaq after company founder Elon Musk discussed in a Twitter post the possible sale of 10% of his shares in the electric vehicle maker.
At the close, the Dow was 0.31% lower at 36,320, while the S&P 500 shed 0.35% to 4,685 and the Nasdaq sank 0.6% to 15,887.
October's US consumer price index data is expected to show a 0.6% jump from the previous month and a year-on-year acceleration to 5.9%. The producer price index for the same month, released on Tuesday, also increased 0.6% month over month, in line with the consensus estimate but was still up 8.6% from October 2020.
Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at markets.com, said: "Wall Street closed lower, ending one of its best win streaks in years.
"The decline in Tesla was a factor, but ultimately such a straight charge up will just run out of gas sooner or later."
Back in the UK, the FTSE 100 is off its best levels but remains in positive territory.
The leading index is up 25.72 points or 0.36% at 7299.33, having earlier reached 7315.
11.21am: Markets higher ahead of US inflation figures
The positive mood remains in place, with the FTSE 100 up 39.5 points or 0.54% at 7312.66 despite worries about China's inflationary pressures being exported to the rest of the world.
AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould said: "Some strong corporate updates helped outweigh continued concerns about inflation as the FTSE 100 made a positive start on Wednesday.
"China continued to offer evidence of mounting inflationary pressures as factory gate prices saw their biggest increase since 1995.
"Given Chinese goods are widely exported around the globe, there is a risk that inflation gets exported too. There will be significant focus on US inflation figures when they are released later today.
"Both the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve surprised the markets by adopting a softer stance on tightening monetary policy but if prices continue to rise then the pressure to act more quickly on scaling back financial stimulus and raising rates will build too."
ITV PLC (LSE:ITV) continues to lead the FTSE 100 risers, and is now up 12.08%.
10.18am: Burberry out of style
Worries about the Chinese economy after its inflation rate hit a 26 year high have sent shares in Burberry Group PLC (LSE:BRBY) lower.
The luxury goods retailer, which counts China as one of its main markets, is down 1.54% at 1956.5p, making it the biggest faller in the leading index.
Overall though investors appear to be ignoring rising pricing pressures around the globe despite the Chinese increase and the prospect of a high figure when the US reports later.
The FTSE 100 is currently up 39.51 points or 0.54% at 7313.14, close to the day's high.
The FTSE 250 is 0.43% better, helped by a near 15% surge in Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS) after it raised its profit forecast.
9.34am: Halfords takes the brakes off
Halfords Group PLC (LSE:HFD) joins the list of companies getting a positive response to their updates.
Its shares have accelerated 10.91% after first half revenues rose to GBP694.8m, 19.2% ahead of the pre-pandemic figure.
Underlying profits before tax nearly doubled to GBP57.9m, and it has raised its full year profit guidance from GBP75mln to GBP80mln-GBP90mln.
Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "A very strong set of results in Halford's retail business has seen full year profit guidance upgraded – no mean feat given the disruption the group has faced. Retail sales have climbed despite the closure of some 40 stores over the last two years, reflecting significant overtrading by remaining stores and resulting in substantially lower costs. The shift of gears to online has paid off here and as a result retail profits have more than doubled.
"Autocentres are less promising. Despite recent acquisitions boosting revenues substantially, profits have gone nowhere. The group expects an increase in lucrative MOTs in the second half to improve profitability, but 2.4% operating margins in a business where revenues can be volatile is as much of a risk as an asset.
"Overall though these are good numbers, and support our long term belief that Halfords' mixed online and bricks & mortar offer makes sense in an increasingly digital world. With management increasing focussed on upskilling its workforce to deliver great service as well as good products that fundamental strength should grow. Together with diminished supply chain disruption that bodes well for the second half of the year."
Meanwhile markets overall remain positive.
The FTSE 100 is 23.19 points or 0.33% better at 7296.54, while the FTSE 250 is up 0.34% at 23,447.98.
8.37am: Market holds on to early gains
ITV PLC (LSE:ITV) is leading the way in the FTSE 100.
Its shares have jumped 6.22% to 116p after a positive nine month update, which saw revenues rise 28% to GBP2.38bn. It said advertising revenues were set to hit a record high.
Keith Bowman, investment analyst at interactive investor said: "ITV continues to deliver a strong recovery from the depths of the pandemic…
"Its shares remain at a big discount to the big streamers like Netflix, and the dividend payment restarts soon. While ITV is a small player compared to the global giants, its strengths and pedigree are unlikely to be completely overlooked. As such and with analysts' currently estimating a fair value price per share of around 139p, consensus opinion currently points towards a buy."
After the well received results from Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS), Next PLC (LSE:NXT) is also benefitting, with its shares up 1.82%.
Primark owner Associated British Foods PLC (LSE:ABF) continues to gain ground, adding another 1.35% in the wake of Tuesday's trading statement.
And with the oil price remaining firm, BP PLC (LSE:BP.) is 1.9% better.
But Aveva Group (LSE:AVV), after an early jump, is now down 0.46%.
In contrast, the FTSE 100 is holding on to its gains, up 23.04 points or 0.33% at 7298.03.
8.23am: Leading shares defy expectations
Investors appear to have shrugged off renewed fears about inflation, with UK markets defying expectations and opening in positive territory.
The FTSE 100 is up 22.16 points or 0.29% at 7295 while the FTSE 250 has added 0.35% or 79.54 points to 23,449.36.
Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS) – now a mid-cap company of course – is certainly helping things along with a 15.76% surge in its share price to 225.48p.
The retailer said full year profits would be ahead of expectations and in the region of GBP500mln, up from a previous forecast of GBP300mln to GBP350mln.
The upgrade follows a strong first half performance from its food business and signs of revival in its struggling clothes business, which pushed it back into a profit of GBP187.3mln compared to a GBP87.6mln loss.
In the leading index, software group Aveva Group (LSE:AVV) has added 1.99% after a 33.9% rise in half-year adjusted profits.
But with Chinese and German inflation rising – the latter up from 4.1% in September to 4.5% in October – and a strong US figure expected later, the focus is set to remain on pricing pressures.
And when central bank's will decide to hike interest rates to deal with the situation.
Jim Reid at Deutsche Bank said: "A lot is resting on this inflation being transitory. This will be the multi-trillion dollar question for 2022, that's for sure…
"One factor that may help on the inflation front over the coming months was a major decline in natural gas prices yesterday, with both European (-8.16%) and US (-8.26%) futures witnessing substantial declines. This wasn't reflected elsewhere in the energy complex though, with WTI (+2.71%) and Brent crude (+1.62%) oil prices seeing a further rise following reports that the US would not need to release strategic reserves due to the demand outlook."
6.50am: UK market set for downbeat start
Borrowing from Sesame Street, today's early market report is brought to you by the letter 'I'.
Any need to spell it out? Inflation is on the agenda (again) with China's producer price index advancing by at a faster-than-expected (and eye-watering) rate of 13.5%, which represented a 26-year high.
Predictably, this sent Asia's main markets into a bit of a flap.
In the US, the consumer price index is set to hit a 30-year zenith, according to analysts paid to track and record these things. The last big high-water mark was 2008 when inflation hit 5.6%. You have to go back to 1990 to find a reading similar to the 5.9% expected later.
"With a number of Fed policymakers making louder noises about the need for rate hikes next year, a strong number here could well prompt a rebound in US yields which have declined quite sharply in the last week or so, with the 10-year down over 15 basis points from last week's highs," said Michael Hewson of CMC Markets.
"On a more positive note, we also have the latest weekly jobless claims numbers due to Veteran's Day on Thursday, and which are expected to fall to 260,000, from 269,000, while continuing claims are expected to fall further from 2.1mln to just over 2mln, and closer to the pre-pandemic levels of 1.7mln, which was the average in the first three months of 2020."
Around the markets

Gold US$1,827.20 (-0.20%)
Brent crude US$85.29 (+0.53%)
6.50am: Early Markets – Asia / Australia
Asia-Pacific stocks declined on Wednesday with shares of Chinese real estate developer Fantasia Holdings crashing 37.5% after returning to trade.
The Hong Kong-listed stock was suspended for more than a month after Fantasia failed to repay a $206 million bond that matured in early October.
China's Shanghai Composite slipped 0.66% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index declined 0.73%
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 fell 0.61% and South Korea's Kospi plunged 1.04%.
Australia's S&P/ASX200 declined for the third consecutive day, finishing 0.14% lower at 7,423.90 points, with some major miners closing at 18-month lows.

Jazz Chronicles
Jazz journalist James Hale's observations on the contemporary music scene, festivals, events and whatever he's been listening to.
Trane Time
Few artists who attract rabid fans have bifurcated careers that divide those followers like John Coltrane. Even his longtime employer, Miles Davis—who lost legions of fans when he adopted electric music in 1968—won people back late in his career.
A Love Supreme is usually the dividing line for Coltrane listeners. Most who swear allegiance to the saxophonist can't abide the music he made after he replaced pianist McCoy Tyner with Alice Coltrane and Elvin Jones ceded the drum chair to Rashied Ali. The addition of saxophonist Pharoah Sanders—who, at 24, introduced a fury of multiphonic overblowing to the ensemble—sealed the deal. Listeners who were willing to follow Coltrane's explorations on "My Favorite Things" and "Afro-Blue" were not prepared to open their ears for the full-blown sonic onslaught of Live In Seattle or Ascension.
But, for those whose love for Coltrane is unconditional—and I count myself among them, having devoured Live In Seattle with the same gusto as Giant Steps when I was about 18—it is time to rejoice. This year brings a much-discussed 1966 concert to commercial release. A joint project of Universal Music, which now controls the Impulse! imprint, and Resonance Records, Offering: Live At Temple University is 90-plus minutes of Coltrane at his most ecstatic, just eight months before he succumbed to liver cancer. Recorded on November 11, 1966, before about 700 people, the concert features the core of Coltrane's quintet (with Sonny Johnson subbing for Garrison) along with a quartet of Philadelphia percussionists and guest appearances by two local saxophonists.
I have the pleasure of delving into the release from a number of angles for a forthcoming DownBeat magazine feature, which is providing the opportunity to think deeply about Coltrane's musical journey and trade thoughts with some others who have committed significant time to this kind of exploration, including writer/historian Ashley Kahn (who wrote the liner notes for the set), baritone saxophonist and jazz educator David Mott, young saxophonist Jon Irabagon, and others. This week holds promise of the opportunity to discuss the performance with Sanders, the sole remaining principal.
This is intense exploration.
"Coltrane's saxophone sounds like it is about to explode; it's under so much pressure," said Mott, who is no slouch at pumping tremendous volume through his own horn.
"I hear tremendous urgency in his playing," said Kahn, whose books on the recording of A Love Supreme and on the history of Impulse! have provided him with unmatched access to the Coltrane oeuvre.
Seldom have musicians approached music making with as much energy and single-mindedness as Coltrane at this late point in his short life. Although there is a definite 'shape' to the concert (he bookends the performance with "Naima" and "My Favorite Things," two of his best-known vehicles) there is no doubt that it defines what we think about the musician who poured everything he had into every solo and didn't stop playing until he had exhausted the possibilities of expression.
Much is made of Coltrane's vocalizing at this performance, which includes some radical effects created by pounding on his own chest, but that is in keeping with the arc of expression introduced in the first movement of A Love Supreme and the Seattle concert with Sanders. The point to be made from this departure from the saxophone as a means of expression is that this is a man who was fully engaged in the act of communication.
For those whose love of Coltrane extends only as far as 1965, who sometimes find the later works 'unmusical': They may have a point. This is expression beyond music, beyond what anyone had previously done.
It's impossible, of course, to know if Coltrane was aware that death was close at hand, or to know where his muse would've taken him following these final concerts and the few studio sessions held in early '67 had he survived. It is possible, hearing the level of ecstatic release at this Temple University concert to believe that this is a level of ecstatic release and musical/spiritual connection that could never again be attained.

December 01, 2011 by abby in "4(for) green acres", "advocacy", "challenge"
Today I'm introducing a monthly challenge series on indigo 26. If you're familiar with my blog you've already heard about my 4(for) green acres project (make the jump here for information). These monthly challenges are your opportunity to cultivate your own acres. They are designed to challenge your creativity, test your will power, and pull your awareness to the footstep you are leaving behind.
This month creates a lot of unnecessary trash with all the gift wrap that gets thrown away. For this challenge, I encourage you to only use gift wrap that you have on hand or utilize wrapping that is reusable or repurposed.
While using what wrapping paper you have left from previous years fits within the rules, it is still trash. Encourage the recipient to recycle or reuse the paper by adding a special note with the package.
Think outside of the box. There are other ways to wrap gifts.
If you are like me, the thought of wrapping all those gifts with only what you have on hand is a little overwhelming. Don't worry! In the next few weeks I will be sharing with you tutorials from crafty ladies around the blogoshere. These ladies know how to repurpose! So if you're stumped for ideas be sure to check back here.
Excited about the challenge and want to spread the message? Grab a 4(for) green acres project badge for your blog by using this code to let others know you're growing your own greener acres. I've added the badge to the sidebar as well.
Don't forget to share your triumphs, challenges and other ideas in the comments below. Let us know how you are doing. Community starts by sharing with others. Can't wait to hear from you!

TUST
LET'S GRAB A BIG CHANCE TO CHANGE OUR GAME
By Nick Brodrick – Torquay United Supporters Trust (TUST) Supporter Liaison Officer
Why is the time right for a football revolution?
Last week's paper reported new National League chairman Jack Pearce acknowledging the board needs to show more transparency, addressing independence while Torquay United manager, Gary Johnson, was making a plea for a re-structuring of promotion between the league and League 2.
Currently the Tracey Crouch Fans-Led Review is in full flow with her team having regular meetings to hear views and case studies, including from individual non-league clubs' supporters: Dulwich Hamlet, Billericay Town, North Ferriby and Macclesfield Town amongst many.
TUST has also been involved in these meetings contributing to the discussions as this is, as FSA chair Malcolm Clarke says, " A big opportunity to do something." With Crouch's interim report scheduled for late July time is of the essence.
There are clearly key issues at stake here with club governance and ownership as well as supporter engagement high on the list of priorities. Surely this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-set the football pyramid. Time to re-assess how the vast Premiership coffers can distribute their huge wealth fairly throughout all levels.
The Government had, in their last manifesto, promised to hold a review into football but it took, ironically, the action of six 'greedy' top teams to set up a Super European League before the review was given the green light.
TUST, like every other club's supporters' trusts, want to see how football fans can feel really involved and included by their clubs which are, especially, in non-league, the focus of their local communities. A fan's local club is a lifeline and really important to their mental health and social well being.
We hope with anticipation that Tracey Crouch's conclusions will lead to the football pyramid being run in a fair, proportionate and sustainable way. But this cannot be the end of the debate. The opportunity is here now for the FA to look at the positioning of the National League.
By and large the majority of the National League teams are full-time professionals whilst those in National North & South are mostly part-time so has the time come to reflect this in how the leagues are set out?
After all the FA has made a start with the restructure of the National League System at Steps 4-6. For the coming season the National League will have 12 former Football League teams, collectively combining hundreds of years of Football League experience each trying to make a return. And with clubs like Salford City, Forest Green Rovers, Harrogate Town and Sutton United making the leap from non-league the National League has proved to be a breeding ground for ambitious sides who can hold their own in higher divisions, so there's no reason why clubs in North & South couldn't make the jump.
So, as Gary Johnson argues, let's push for two automatic places for promotion between the National League and League 2, with a third through the play-offs, as the influx of 'new' clubs into League 2 must be refreshing for all. Or why not go the whole way and see the National League become League 3?
With the FSA conducting a straw poll earlier in the week asking whether the top of the National League would be better served by being part of the EFL, it shows that the clamour for change is gaining momentum. The time to grasp the nettle is now, fans can influence football's future and we need forward thinking, don't squander this 'once in a lifetime' opportunity.
What do readers think?

Indie Films
By JOSH KATZ
I'm a huge surfing fan. But the actual sport? Not so much — requires too much coordination. Yet the films dedicated to it are pure magic.
There's a visceral tranquility to surfing, and its best cinematic representations — "Endless Summer" 1 and 2, "Riding Giants" and "Step Into Liquid" — capture that quality with a poet's eye.
The film "180˚ South" follows the 1968 journey of two surfers to Chilean Patagonia. It will have its Maine premiere on Saturday at the Surf Film Fest.
On Saturday, the good folks at the Saltwater Film Society will be paying homage to the spirits of the waves at the Strand Theater in Rockland. They're hosting Surf Film Fest 2010, a daylong, five-film celebration of surfing.
The festival promises to be as multifaceted an exploration of the sport as can be — it's not all Oahu and tropical climes. Each film covers a different perspective.
"Dear and Yonder" focuses exclusively on the history of women surfers, and how the confluences of nature, spirituality and their own femininity draw them to the sea.
"Ishmael," fittingly named, checks the protagonist of the great New England novel. This documentary honors the toughest breed of surfers; in many respects, those men and women who live to surf New England.
"Little Black Wheels" is far more personal, documenting one family's surfing road trip along the coasts of Australia.
"Powers of Three" takes viewers to the big-wave surfing community along the Irish coastline.
"180 South," the big Maine premiere of the festival, documents the 1968 journey of Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins as they surfed their way to Chilean Patagonia.
Taken together, the films of Surf Film Fest 2010 should make for a very memorable long and strange trip. Plus, you get five movies (and prizes and snacks) for only $14. Try scoring that deal at any chain theater.
Final note: This will be my last column for GO. Beginning next week, the column will be in the able hands of Dennis Perkins, so make sure to tune back in for his take on Portland's indie scene.
On a personal note, I hope you enjoyed reading my articles as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
If you didn't, please address all hate mail to "Rusty Shackleford."

We Resist: Day 434

One of the difficulties in resisting the Trump administration, the Republican Congressional majority, and Republican state legislatures (plus the occasional non-Republican who obliges us to resist their nonsense, too, like we don't have enough to worry about) is keeping on top of the sheer number of horrors, indignities, and normalization of the aggressively abnormal that they unleash every single day.
So here is a daily thread for all of us to share all the things that are going on, thus crowdsourcing a daily compendium of the onslaught of conservative erosion of our rights and our very democracy.
Stay engaged. Stay vigilant. Resist.
Earlier today by me: Floating Pardons for Flynn and Manafort May Constitute Obstruction and Trump Ousts Veterans Affairs Secretary; Replaces Him with Doctor Who Gave Him Glowing Medical Report and Secret Service Report on Mental Illness and Mass Shootings Is Spectacularly Unhelpful.
Here are some more things in the news today...
Judge says emoluments case against Trump can proceed https://t.co/6AaJfsqwrO

That, of course, is not itself something to resist — it's good news that the case is proceeding. But it does put additional pressure on Trump, who thrashes like a caged beast when he's cornered, so I just want to say once again that I hope we can simultaneously hold him accountable and get through the process safely as a nation.
[Content Note: Warmongering; violence] Jeffrey Lewis at the Daily Beast: John Bolton to Kim Jong Un: Give Up Your Nukes Like Gaddafi Did — Before We Killed Him.
The agreement with Libya, and how its relates to North Korea, is actually one of the least well-understood episodes in recent diplomacy. But it is important, because it demonstrates how Bolton plies his trade, and the danger he poses.
...As Libya collapsed into civil war, the very same John Bolton [who had used Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, with whom the Bush administration had struck a disarmament deal, to deflect criticism that the U.S. couldn't be trusted to respect disarmament since Saddam Hussein had abandoned his weapons programs and the U.S. invaded anyway], by then a television pundit, openly advocating killing Gaddafi. Asked how this squared with his support for the 2003 disarmament deal, Bolton was nonplussed.
"Nobody at the time thought it was a get-out-of-jail-free card in perpetuity," he explained.
None of this was lost on the North Koreans.
...States pursue nuclear weapons for a lot of reasons, but chief among them is that the bomb is, in fact, a get-out-of-jail-free card in perpetuity—or at last as close to one as there is. A lot has been made of the fact that Kim Jong Un reportedly told a visiting South Korean delegation that would consider denuclearization. It's worth looking at precisely what Kim allegedly said:
"There is no reason for [North Korea] to possess nuclear weapons as long as military threats to the North are eliminated and the regime's security is guaranteed."
Kim isn't offering to give up his nuclear weapons; he's explaining why he needs them. The notion that Kim would turn around and give up this capability for the deal that preceded Gaddafi's grisly death is absurd...
So why is Bolton talking about Libya at all? His audience isn't North Korea at all.
Bolton wants to give the impression that he gave diplomacy the old college try, before moving on to the urgent task of getting us all killed in a nuclear war.
Absolutely right. Bolton has a major boner for war. I don't know how else to put it — the man gets visibly excited, animated, when talking about the prospect of war. His role in the Bush administration was to facilitate a war of choice, a task which he eagerly pursued. He is dangerous because he wants war. It thrills him.
He is observably the adult, highly empowered version of the vicious child who pulls wings off of insects, just because it gives him the thrill of being a vengeful god. I don't know why anyone would ever pretend that John Bolton is anything but a war-hungry sadist.
Andy Towle at Towleroad: Trump Tweets Fresh Attack on Amazon. "Donald Trump attacked Amazon on Twitter Thursday morning [after a] report on Axios on Wednesday that he was obsessed with taking down the company sent the stock plunging more than 4 percent. Tweeted Trump: 'I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!'"
As I wrote yesterday: "That is just so fucked up. For many reasons. Not least of which is that the president shouldn't deliberately harm the competitor of his billionaire friends just because he can."
Almost too obvious to say, but Trump's Amazon-bashing has always been inseparable from his media-bashing. The president is going after the owner of a newspaper that aggressively investigates him. pic.twitter.com/5dsRIXHBMO

[CN: Nativism; misogyny; war on agency] Betsy Woodruff at the Daily Beast: ICE Now Detaining Pregnant Women, Thanks to Trump Order. "Immigration and Customs Enforcement is ending its practice of automatically releasing pregnant women from detention, according to internal communications reviewed by The Daily Beast. This is because of [Donald] Trump's executive order 'Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,' which requires stricter enforcement of immigration laws. Previously, the agency's general practice was to release women from detention who were pregnant. Now, pregnant women will only be able to get released if an ICE officer determines so on a case-by-case basis." This is clearly to stop pregnant detainees from accessing abortion, even though "pregnant women are more likely to miscarry if they're in detention than if they are free."
[CN: Nativism] Esther Yu Hsi Lee at ThinkProgress: Federal Agents Detain 28 Undocumented Immigrants at a Tent Rental Business in Southern Florida. "On Wednesday, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) division served a search warrant to TentLogix and asked people for legal paperwork, according to a company employee who spoke with a local Fox News affiliate. A source within HSI told ThinkProgress that agents served the business with a search warrant as part of 'a criminal case' and proceeded to identify everyone. During the course of identifying workers, federal agents 'encountered' 28 undocumented immigrants and detained them for administrative arrest. Despite the arrest of these immigrants, the source denied that this was an 'immigration raid' and would not confirm whether other people, including citizens, were taken because this was an 'ongoing criminal investigation.'" Such mendacious horseshit.

[CN: Animal endangerment] Oliver Milman at the Guardian: Alarmed Conservationists Call for Urgent Action to Fix 'America's Wildlife Crisis'.
An extinction crisis is rippling through America's wildlife, with scores of species at risk of being wiped out unless recovery plans start to receive sufficient funding, conservationists have warned.
One-third of species in the U.S. are vulnerable to extinction, a crisis that has ravaged swaths of creatures such as butterflies, amphibians, fish, and bats, according to a report compiled by a coalition of conservation groups. A further one in five species face an even greater threat, with a severe risk of being eliminated amid a "serious decline" in U.S. biodiversity, the report warns.
"America's wildlife are in crisis," said Collin O'Mara, chief executive of the National Wildlife Federation. "Fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates are all losing ground. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to prevent these species from vanishing from the earth."
We also owe it to the fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates. Cough. Unfortunately, we've got a president whose interest in nature extends only as far as he can plunder its resources for profit and whose sons brutally kill animals for fun, so help isn't coming anytime soon.
[CN: Misogyny and racism.]
Yesterday, I mentioned that the Atlantic had hired a despicable conservative bigot, because he deserves "a second chance" and because diversity of ideas blah blah (which isn't even defensible, based on the facts about conservative inclusion in major media outlets). Naturally, Mother Jones' Kevin Drum had to take up the bigot's cause, because there isn't a single thing primarily women and marginalized men are upset about that Drum can't condescendingly 'splain is stupid.
Oh goody, Kevin Drum decided to throw his white dudeness behind Kevin Williamson.
He was only a little racist, like one time 6 years ago.
And hanging women? It's just the logical conclusion of a "pro-life" position.

Dan Sabbagh at the Guardian: Cambridge Analytica Parent Company Had Access to Secret MoD Information. "SCL, Cambridge Analytica's parent company, had access to secret UK information and was singled out for praise by the UK Ministry of Defence for the training it provided to a psychological operations warfare group, according to documents released by MPs."
Luke Barnes at ThinkProgress: Cambridge Analytica Exploited Ethnic Tensions and Fragile Democracies Across the Globe. "The recent revelations that Cambridge Analytica used the Facebook data of 50 million Americans, taken without their permission, to help them micro-target voters during the 2016 presidential election, has set off a firestorm. But the roots of the problem extend far deeper than one country and one election. Cambridge Analytica honed its techniques in a host of countries with political institutions that are younger, more fragile, and far more vulnerable to interference."

Volkswagen Eos review
12/23/2020 Car Reviews
The Eos proves that VW is capable of building great cars. With a stiff body, handsome looks and good road manners, it has few weaknesses.
The Eos boasts superb attention to detail, and that extends to the structure. VW is proud of the fact that it has been able to fit a shorter, more upright windscreen, due to the car's excellent rigidity. In fact, the Eos feels as shake-free as many purpose-built roadsters. As a result, the ride is supple unless you hit a deep pothole, the handling is taut and composed, with good steering, and thanks to fine insulation, the VW is a great cruiser. Our only gripe is a touch of roar from the rear screen area – but even so, no rival feels so together or capable. A popular engine choice for us, from the wide range, will be the Golf GTI-sourced 2.0-litre turbo. It's one of our all-time favourites, with pace, effortless grunt and crisp responses. The gearshift action is good too.
The Eos looks really good in the flesh, appearing smooth and cohesive whether the roof is up or down. Volkswagen has been careful to distance the styling from the Golf, by designing unique headlights and borrowing the chrome grille from the Jetta. The result is a car that doesn't look out of place alongside Audi's desirable A4 Cabriolet – not bad, considering it shares a platform with the humble hatch, albeit lengthened, with a wider track, and redeveloped with components including Passat rear suspension. The first-ever VW folding hard-top, it has a five-piece folding roof and has been dubbed by VW a 'CSC' – coupe sunroof convertible. That's because the front glass section of the amazing roof can be slid back to open up the elements, though there is some cabin bluster. Offered with a choice of four petrol engines and one diesel, plus two trims – standard or Sport – the Eos competes with the Vauxhall Astra TwinTop, Ford Focus CC, Volvo C70, Renault Megane CC and the Peugeot 307 CC.
Owning:
The roof, operated by a chrome lever behind the handbrake, takes 25 seconds to fold away, and is truly unique street theatre to watch. Of course, you do have to sacrifice some luggage space -it drops from 380 litres to 205 litres – and, unlike as in the Astra TwinTop, there's no facility to raise the roof within the boot when folded, to aid luggage access. However, the roof, which contains 470 components, is amazingly well packaged, lets in lots of light and is fast to rise when rain clouds gather. Inside, it's surprisingly comfortable for four, with plentiful knee clearance for those in the back, and an appealing cabin design. It's broadly Golf based, but a few individual touches set it apart. Seats and driving position are great too. Even better, running costs will be low; all variants are economical, inexpensive to service (whether you choose fixed or variable intervals) and retain a high proportion of their list price. The VW is, however, notably more expensive than key competitors, and the overall package is spoilt slightly by a mean one-year breakdown recovery deal.

Soul of Shaolin was a theatrical event presented on Broadway by Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment to coincide with the celebration of the Lunar New Year in January 2009. The first production from the People's Republic of China ever to appear on Broadway, its story is told through a display of Chinese martial arts, particularly Shaolin Kung Fu, handed down through generations in the Shaolin Monastery, a Chán Buddhist temple at Song Shan near Dengfeng in China.

Plot
The primary focus is on Hui Guang, who as an infant was separated from his mother when she hid him, together with a broken piece of jade identifying his origin, during a period of civil conflict. Discovered by Na Luo, the baby is brought to the temple and raised by the monks who live there. His education includes instruction in the ways of Shaolin Kung Fu and the daily practice of Kung Fu skills. In later years, Hui Guang encounters his mother, now begging on the streets to support herself, being molested by a gang of men. In the ensuing struggle to rescue her, he drops the piece of jade, which she recognizes and pockets. Hoping to find her son, she sneaks into the forest on the temple grounds, where she is captured by Hui Guang. Following an interrogation, it becomes clear who she is. Her request to take her son with her is denied by the abbot, who declares if Hui Gang wants to leave the temple, he must fight his way out, according to the rules require. He does so, and mother and son finally are reunited.

Production
Soul of Shaolin originally was presented at the 2008 Summer Olympics as part of the Beijing arts festival. Following three previews, the Broadway production officially opened at the Marquis Theatre on January 15, 2009, and ran for 21 performances. Featuring the Shaolin Temple Wushu Martial Artists, it was directed and choreographed by Liu Tongbiao and starred Yu Fei as Hui Guang as a young man, Zhang Zhigang as Na Luo, Wang Yazhi as Hui Guang's mother, and Bai Guojun as the abbot.  The Broadway production has been nominated for the Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event and the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.

A North American tour of the production is scheduled to commence in Fall 2010.

Critical reception
Charles Isherwood of The New York Times observed, "The three performers who play the main character, Hui Guang, impress with their contortionist feats and physical prowess . . . The splashy all-monks-on-deck numbers combine the pop of a Broadway dance routine with the testosteroney thrill of Hong Kong action movies. But Soul of Shaolin ultimately seems a pretty cheap enterprise. The sets are mostly painted flats, and the music . . . is recorded. Much of it is schlocky; for long stretches it sounds as if someone loaded up the world's most bombastic movie soundtracks on an iPod and then pressed the shuffle button. The passages of more relaxed indigenous music come as a big relief. Unfortunately for the makers of Soul of Shaolin . . . the innumerable Cirque du Soleil shows have set a far higher standard in terms of stagecraft . . . I seriously doubt Soul of Shaolin represents the best of Chinese culture."

Sam Thielman of Variety called the production "a rushed, expertly trained assault that leaves you slightly confused afterward" and "a little weak on storytelling and variety." He added, "In the rare instances when the show communicates with utter clarity, it succeeds by speaking a universal language of one-upmanship and pratfalls . . . At the end of the day, however, you can get more precision from The Rockettes and you can get smarter Chinese action-comedy from a Stephen Chow movie. Soul of Shaolin isn't a failure, exactly, but it doesn't hit its target often enough to be a success, either."

Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News rated it two out of five stars and commented, "To borrow from A Chorus Line, Shaolin rates as follows - Martial arts: 10. Magic: 3 . . . Some kung-fu moves will make your head spin. When these performers launch into the air and whirl nearly horizontal to the ground, it's no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon special effect. Unfortunately, cheesy sets and choppy staging choices undermine the highs. Lights and piped-in music don't seamlessly fade and bridge scenes. They slam off, like someone hitting the brakes to avoid a car crash. If you love martial arts and think Kill Bill is high art, you might not mind."

Frank Scheck of the New York Post gave the production three out of four stars and commented, "The impressive performers . . . provide a dazzling display of their skills, many involving staffs and sabers, but mostly their masterful control of their own bodies. The athleticism on display is truly amazing . . . Director Liu Tongbiao has choreographed the proceedings with a precision that would put the Rockettes to shame. It all culminates in a final raucous battle, and the most athletic curtain calls probably ever seen on a Broadway stage."

Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press called it "a striking mixture of sentiment and strength" and commented, "It is the demanding physicality in the show that counts. That movement celebrates an intense kind of discipline that borders on the spiritual and proves to be surprisingly sturdy Broadway entertainment."

LXD, Incorporated is one of the first Liquid Crystal Display manufacturers in the world. The company, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, has factories in the United States and China.

History
LXD, Incorporated was founded as ILIXCO (International Liquid Xtal Company) by James Fergason in 1968 in Kent, Ohio and was the first manufacturer of the twisted nematic LCD.  ILIXCO became cash strapped while trying to break into the display market with watch and large instrument displays, and it was purchased by then customer DICKEY-john Corp in 1974.  John Lamphier III, owner of DICKEY-john Corp, renamed the company Liquid Xtal Displays Inc. and later sold the company to the Electronic Components Division of General Electric in September 1979.

In December 1983, the company was purchased by Dr. Hugh Mailer, who shortened the name to LXD, Incorporated.  In 1986, majority ownership of LXD was acquired by a Norwegian company, LCDVision.

In July 1994, the company became a subsidiary of the Brenlin Group.

In 1996, James Fergason's son Jeffrey Fergason formed a new company using the Ilixco name.  The new Ilixco is a holding company that owns controlling interests in IO Display Systems and Razor Digital Entertainment.

In January 2008, the company was acquired by current management. A joint venture between Jiya-LXD in China was established.

In September 2010, LXD announced the opening of a new  facility in Research Triangle, North Carolina.
