| | This case, which bears passing similarity to a well-known School of Government, demonstrates how an ordinary line-item budget is pulled together from a long and somewhat confusing list of information about how the school operates. | | | Harvard University is a large non-profit institution that encompasses the operating budgets of each of its schools, the investment of its long-term endowment and managing a capital budget for hundreds of buildings and facilities, and now includes the development of Allston. | | | In government, the budget is also an ongoing political process that reveals how a society reconciles competing interests and demands. |

| | QCL - A Programming Language for Quantum Computers |
| | One reason for the slow adoption of QC by the computer science community is the confusing variety of formalisms (Dirac notation, matrices, gates, operators, etc.), none of which has any similarity with classical programming languages, as well as the rather ``physical'' terminology in most of the available literature. | | | Besides a general introduction to quantum programming and a description of the language, a complete QCL implementation of the Shor algorithm is presented. | | | QCL (Quantum Computation Language) tries to fill this gap: QCL is a high level, architecture independent programming language for quantum computers, with a syntax derived from classical procedural languages like C or Pascal. |

| | Spanish verbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The future tense of the subjunctive is found mostly in old literature or legalese and is even misused in conversation by confusing it with the past tense (often due to the similarity of its characteristic suffix, "-ere", as opposed to the suffixes of the past tense, -era and -ese). | | | The use of the imperfect subjunctive is determined by tense of the main verb of a sentence, not necessarily the tense of the subjunctive verb itself. | | | In both languages, the continuous form for action in progress is optional, but Spanish requires the verb in either case to be in the imperfect, because it is the background to the specific event expressed by "got run over", in the preterite. |

| | The domain name at issue consists of three elements, namely "dreamwerx," the descriptive noun "entertainment" and the top-level domain name ".com." It is well-established that top-level domains are non-distinctive and do not affect the question of confusing similarity. | | | The disputed domain name was registered on September 17, 2001, in the name of Sequence Media LLC, with Brandon Lee of the same address named as the administrative and technical contact. | | | Finally, the Complainant contends that the domain name was registered and used in bad faith, citing the Respondent’s offer to sell the domain name to the Complainant for $5,000, a figure which was likely to be in excess of the Respondent’s documented out-of-pocket expenses for registering the domain and maintaining a simple holding page. |

| | The Panel concludes that the domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s CELEBREX mark because the mere addition of a related competing product’s name in the domain name does not defeat a confusing similarity claim. | | | The disputed domain names are confusingly similar to Complainant’s CELEBREX mark because they contain the entire mark and either the addition of (1) a generic word, (2) number, or (3) mark of a competitor. | | | Respondent uses the CELEBREX mark in all of the disputed domain names as a means to solicit orders from potential purchasers of Complainant’s CELEBREX arthritis drug, without authorization from Complainant. |

| | C (Nordic Fish, Sweet's Fish, Original Red Fish, Mini Red Fish, Jelly Fish).) It is well-established that shared use of a generic term, such as "Fish," to describe a product is insufficient to establish confusing similarity. | | | Indeed, a portion of Malaco's Swedish Fish sales is derived from Swedish Fish that are rebagged by distributors and sold to consumers in the marketplace under a different name and in different packaging. | | | Acknowledging Malaco's incontestable status for its SWEDISH FISH Mark, this Court finds that the presumption of incontestability for that mark is overcome due to the absence of any likelihood of confusion between the parties' marks. |

| | The position of the leaf blades is somewhat confusing, in that they appear to be oppositely arranged (hence the similarity to clematis); however, the leaves themselves, which arise alternately from the stipe (stem) are composed of various pinnae (divisions), and these are arranged bilaterally, at least on this part of the stipe. | | | I hate to be contrary, but it most probably is the Japanese climbing fern, Lygodium japonicum, a weedy species in parts of the American south. | | | Note the venation visible on this superb image; it shows simple, non-reticulate veins typical of many ferns. |
