Jonathan Morgan, who admits to being a little bit clumsy, was taking a coastal walk at Scalby Mills in England when he stumbled during a chat with his sister. He plunged down the slope, knocking himself unconscious, and became wedged in stones. The 19-year-old did not come round for four hours and, when he did, found himself unable to move but with the phone still in his hand. He dialled 999 and was rescued. Morgan: Lucky escape Man held after morning bank raid A MAN has been arrested following a bank robbery in Phibsboro yesterday. The man in his 20s was detained by garda in the Cabra West area afterwards and recovered a sum of cash. Garda have appealed for any witnesses to come forward. Google wins challenge over use of trademarksGOOGLE yesterday won the latest round of a legal tussle over trademarks in which retailer Louis Vuitton is fighting to prevent search engines using protected brand names. Louis Vuitton has already won a French court action, successfully claiming that Google acted illegally by allowing other companies to use the Vuitton names as key search words for adverts on Google. But yesterday, in an interim legal opinion in the EUs highest court, Advocate-General Poiares Maduro said Google had not infringed trademark rights by allowing advertisers to buy keywords corresponding to registered trademarks. A French appeal court sent the case to the European Court of Justice, asking if Google was breaking EU law by making trademarked keywords available to advertisers, and whether Google could be held liable for the content featured in its AdWords service. Under Google policy, a user searching AdWords with trademarked keywords finds the name of advertisers appearing on the right side of the screen under the heading sponsored links. But in the case of many companies, searches with their trademarks have triggered the names of rivals in the sponsored links. As a result, Louis Vuitton went to court complaining that some links found using its name are for firms marketing counterfeit or replica goods. But Advocate-General Poiares Maduro said that Google has not committed a trademark infringement. all Talk: Rubiks-cube- solving robots, the most detailed photos of the Cosmos ever taken and pedal power electricity generators; these are just some of the exhibits at the EUs stand at this weeks National Ploughing Championships in Athy, Co Kildare.

Over 90 per cent of the EU budget was spent on the ground in the EUs 27 member states. Ireland remains a net beneficiary in 2008 we got 500million more out than we put in. Bank shy: A study commissioned by the EU out this week shows that Irish people dont use bank transfers as much as our EU neighbours. The average Irish person makes 84 such transactions in a year while the EU average is 149. Payments using credit transfers, direct debits and payment with Laser cards in Ireland came to 57 per household while our EU neighbours average 117. to read an e-mail from a woman who wanted to sterilise people because of their race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, there would be uproar. People with disabilities are already mar- ginalised and this programme served to further marginalise and dehumanise them, he said. Mr Kennedy allowed discussion amongst peo- ple advocating a violent and invasive procedure against an innocent and already marginalised group in our society. This is incitement to ha- tred. Although the BCC disagreed it was incitement to hatred, it ruled there was a breach of the Code of Programme Standards. The BCC rejected all 15 other complaints, in- cluding three against the Road Safety Authoritys He Drives, She Dies ad campaign; two against Newstalks Off The Ball sports programmes use of the words b*****ks and s**te in an audio montage; and one against the model Claire Tul- lys albeit blurred nipples on TV3s aptly named celebrity show Xpos. Complaint over radio Downs debate upheld BY ROSS McDONAGHA CONVERSATION about the sexual urges of people with Downs syndrome was the only com- plaint upheld this month by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission. Radio listener Bernard Cantillon made the complaint about FM104sAdrian Kennedy Phone Show, after the presenter allowed a woman to speak for several minutes about why she believed people with intellectual disabilities should be sterilised as babies. She claimed they could not love and that they should not be allowed to have relationships. Kennedy had earlier read out an e-mail from a woman claiming to be a health worker which stated that it was humane to sterilise mentally disabled people and dangerous to allow them feel sexual urges. FM104 argued that, due to the nature of the programme, it is totally unaware of what callers will say in advance, and argued that the callers views were constantly challenged by presenter Adrian Kennedy. Mr Cantillon described the discussion as ob- scene and deeply offensive.
