My Chemical Romance vocalist Gerard Way participated in a Dark Horse panel discussion today at San Diego Comic-Con.
Sporting a new hairstyle that sent fans into a shocked frenzy, the singer revealed during panel that "there would be no new comics from him this year, but his band just finished its new album and he would return to comics immediately after," according to a live report from ComicBookResources.Com. Way added that the finished product was a "second attempt" at the album, which is not surprising; as, the band announced in March that they had created enough material for two-and-a-half albums.
Last year, Way said that his newest comic project "The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys" would be out in 2010.
It seems the album has made plans change since then.
Just two weeks ago, fans were given a hint in the form of a picture that the album had been completed from MCR lead guitarist Ray Toro.
If I find more information, it will be posted here! I'll keep everyone as updated as I can through twitter. Gerard will participate in another discussion at Comic-Con tomorrow.

Mixing waters may hasten arrival of ice-free Arctic Ocean summers
Staff Report
In yet another sign that the balance of Earth's climate system is being perturbed by global warming, scientists are documenting how a steady intrusion of water from the Atlantic is undermining sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
The research, led by Igor Polyakov, a professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center, shows that the relatively warm Atlantic Ocean water is a surprisingly powerful contributor to Arctic sea ice decline.

Jahnil and I headed to SATC 2
Last night my friend Jahnil and I went to see SATC 2. We had planned to go last week, but I had to cancel because I ended up picking up my sister from the airport. So we headed off to the 8:30pm showing and we were so excited! I heard some mixed reviews about it, but regardless I knew I would want to see it.
What attracts me so much to SATC is definitely the amazing fashion and the excitement of living in New York. In high school I dreamed about going off to college in the Big Apple and experiencing the life of living in such an amazing place - as you can see, that never happened. So in a way SATC allows me to experience the thrilling life of NY.
My thoughts on the movie are that it was okay. I laughed on several occasions, but maybe some of my disappointment is that not enough of the movie was actually in the city. There were some cheesy and unrealistic parts that I found a little irritating. I loved several of Carrie's outfits and it gave me an instant desire to go shopping, which I did today! haha Without question, I liked the first SATC movie better.
Although I wasn't 100% satisfied with the movie, it still renewed my dream to go to NY and spend time in the breathtaking city. Perhaps it is time to start planning a trip ;)

Negative binomial wouldn't work. I don't know of a 'nice' way to do this. There are a few options though but all require some sort of enumeration of what could possibly happen.
My initial thoughts were: 1) just to enumerate all the possibilities 2) calculate the probability of each possibility and then 3) sum the probabilities of each possibility that meets the criteria. This is easy enough to do using a programming language.
I then thought that one could use the fact that "first to six" is the same as "best of 11". So if we can just figure out the probabilities of A winning 0, 1, 2,... 11 in a set of 11 games then sum the probabilities for >= 6 we will get our answer. We can use excel and some relatively simple formula manipulation to do this relatively quickly by recognizing that in round X the probability that A has won Y games is: P(A won Y-1 games in round X-1)*P(A wins this round) + P(A win Y games in round X-1)*P(A loses this round).
I made a spreadsheet in excel to do just that. You can control the probabilities that "A" wins each round so you could even play around with having an entirely different probability for each round instead of just flip-flopping probabilities between rounds. For your example the answer that A wins comes out to be 0.630551086 but I suspect you don't care about that particular example and are more interested in how to get the answer so you could play around with what happens for different probabilities.

.- Jim Caviezel, the actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", spoke with the Catholic News Agency last week when he was here to receive the Imago Dei Award, on behalf of the filmmakers and crew of "The Passion", from the Archdiocese of Denver. The interview follows.
Q. Jim, regarding your faith, how has the movie changed your experience of suffering and what suffering means for you now?
A. I understand sacrifice so much more now than I ever have. During much of the filming I didn't know if I could make it, if I could do it because of the hypothermia. Dealing with hypothermia for one day is okay, even though it's very hard. But try dealing with it for five straight weeks on a cross with an overhang of more than 1,000 feet, and at the same time your shoulder is separated and you're sick, you have pneumonia and you're throwing up. At the same time, you're getting struck by lightening. All of these things factor into when you scream out: "God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" I have said that many, many times. You don't even know if you care if you make this movie anymore. This is the human side of me, but I know He [Jesus] did care. And if I hadn't gone through the suffering I would not have delivered the performance that you saw on the screen. It forced me into the arms of God. …
Q. Your faith is something that takes a central place in your life. Have you ever found a contradiction or a conflict between living your faith and your profession as an actor?
A. When you work for a bank, you work with money. Does that you mean you can't be Catholic and work for a bank? Can you not be Catholic and be president of the United States? Can you not be Catholic and be involved in any form of the communication world, whether it be a network reporter or whatnot? We need them [Catholics] in every mission, in every area. We need missionaries and good people.
Q. What role does your faith play in choosing films to work on?
A. [My faith] does not mean that I don't play sinful characters. That doesn't mean I will not do R-rated movies. This movie is certainly rated R. In fact, if you were to read the Bible you would give it a worse rating – NC17 to rated X. This is a very serious book full of lots of sinners and lots of holy people. I've played sinful people and characters as well as holy people. I try to find something that is redeemable in a story. I don't blaspheme Our Lord. There are things [films] that I won't do. And I just wait… God allows me to wait. If I see a script that I really like [but which has parts that are unacceptable to me] I ask them to change a part of it and – if they really want me – they will change it.
Q. How important is your faith in your married life and your marriage in your faith?
A. It's fundamental. It's like eating food. You have to eat every day; you have to receive the Eucharist. God gave my wife to me. She's a gift. I take care of her. She takes care of me. We love the way God would want us to love. We're an example to other people. We fail sometimes but we try often and then we get back up if we fail. We stay together and love each other as much as we can. My faith feeds into everything, my acting and whatnot. It's the soul.
Q. What is your reaction to the coverage of you in the press?
A. Much of the time in the press they look for angles to taint you. For example, they continually, they say: "devout Catholic Jim Caviezel, devout Catholic Jim Caviezel, devout Catholic Jim Caviezel." [They do this] every time they present you in the press and you think: "What's wrong with that?"
But let me ask you, do they say: "devout scientologist Tom Cruise, devout scientologist Tom Cruise, devout scientologist Tom Cruise; devout Jew Adam Sandler, devout Jew Adam Sandler, devout Jew Adam Sandler"? They understand what they're doing – trying to taint you, make you a religious zealot. There's lots of persecution like this all the time. They [the press] are not open to how you live your life. I don't go and force my faith on others. I talk about it when asked and sometimes I don't even talk about it. But I live it. It's not what you say; it's what you do. … I can't worry about what people think. … I'll have to answer to God. I am more afraid of not doing the right thing, because I'll have to answer to Him some day.
Q. How do you explain the success of "The Passion"? Have you learned about any spiritual fruit that people have received from watching the movie since its release?
A. You can go on Internet sites and you can read about all the spiritual fruits, they're everywhere – all over the place. … But you'll hear [in the press] about one woman in Kansas dying of a heart attack while watching "The Passion". They [the media] are going to find one negative thing, but there are millions and millions of good things. This film is going to help promote true peace, true peace in the world....
Q. Do you think this film will have some impact in people's faith?
A. In many countries around the world, we water down our faiths to accommodate each other to bring churches together, this is wrong. I'm not asking Baptists to accept a form of Marianism and to understand what that is. That's the Holy Spirit's job…. At the end of the day, I ask you pray for my conversion and I'll pray for yours, but to water down our faith, to accommodate each other, is only accommodating one thing and that is sin.
Q. What is your favorite scene in the film?
A. In my favorite scene in the movie, Pontius Pilate speaks to Jesus. Jesus says: "Those that know me know the truth." And then Pilate says: "What is the truth?" Jesus does not answer him. After that, Pilate speaks to his wife, Claudia, and he says: "What is this truth?" And she says: "If you don't know, I can't tell you."
Much of the time, people have this idea that Jesus is a Bible thumper; he isn't. He speaks in truth. He speaks with full truth and full grace….
Q. What is your wish for Latin America and Spain after "The Passion of the Christ" is released?
A. I want the same thing for them as has happened here. That people would be open, that people would be open to the truth.

NEW YORK – The Bush administration must take firm action to return fiscal responsibility to the government and restore trust in the economy, centrist Democrats were told by party leaders Tuesday.
That same message was delivered by one of the party's veterans and one of its newest prominent voices.
"Unfortunately, this White House tends to heed the shouts and whispers of the extreme right, telling them to stall, to dodge, to stand in the way of real reform," said House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt. He said he proposed an economic summit nine months ago and the White House rejected the idea.
"Last week, former Treasury Secretary (Robert) Rubin renewed the call for a summit," Gephardt said. "This time, for the good of the country, I hope they take us up on it."
Earlier in the day, Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina told the Democratic Leadership Council that fiscal responsibility has vanished from the government since Republicans claimed the White House from the Clinton administration.
"Washington can't ask businesses to do more unless we live up to our responsibilities as well," the senator said. "We can't just complain about Enron's books. We have a duty to put our own books in order."
The federal government has returned to deficit spending and the parties are bickering about whether that was caused by Bush's tax cut or by a combination of the war on terror and an economic downturn.
Edwards said "the economy is fundamentally strong" and will recover well with the right policies. But the bigger question, he said, is whether people have faith "that their hard work means something, their hard-earned tax dollars go for something."
During this three-day meeting, Democratic presidential hopefuls are making their case to centrist Democrats on how they would frame the debate on the economy.
Top Democrats have contrasted the booming stock market, federal surpluses and job growth of the roaring 1990s with the tax cuts, volatile stocks and shrinking economy since Bill Clinton left office.
"In just eighteen months, this administration has unraveled the fiscal discipline it took us eight years to build," Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman told the Democratic Leadership Council's annual policy meeting.
Gephardt talked about his efforts to bridge the gap between the pro-business DLC and Democrats like himself who work closely with unions.
And he compared Bush to his father, the former president, who he said didn't talk about the nation's economic troubles and didn't act on them in losing the 1992 presidential election to Clinton.
"George W. Bush seems to know things aren't working. So he talks about it and talks about it and talks about it. But he doesn't do anything about it," Gephardt, D-Mo., said.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry also spoke to the group Monday.
"There is no economic leadership coming from the White House," Daschle said. "If they won't lead, Democrats will."
"In the span of a year, this administration has turned fiscal responsibility on its ear," said Kerry, "turning a budget surplus into a budget with endless deficits spurred on by an irresponsible and unfairly structured tax cut."
Republican national chairman Marc Racicot said the Democrats' criticism rang hollow coming from senators who had failed to pass a budget during a time of war and economic uncertainty. He described that failure as "an abdication of responsibility and failure of leadership."
DLC members call themselves New Democrats, who believe in blending a pro-business approach with traditional Democratic values. They say it's fair to criticize the Bush administration for being too closely allied with big business.
But some were still grumbling about an economic populist tone that crept into the presidential campaign of Gore, who did not attend the event and has not decided whether he will run.
Gore aide Jano Cabrera said Monday the former vice president's campaign had embraced the same values as the New Democrats.
"They have a theory in search of the facts," Cabrera said of Gore's critics in the group. "The fact is that Al Gore's message won more votes than any other Democratic candidate in the history of the country."


text: For the past week or so none of the pictures I took with my 2.1 Milestone were saved, when I opened the 3d gallery no new pictures were there. I thought maybe the folder was full or had a corrupted file, so I moved all those pictures to my laptop, opened the gallery and it indeed was empty. I took one test picture with my camera and when I opened the gallery it showed that same picture 43 times. I can take new pictures but the oldest picture is always cloned 43 times, if I delete those then it takes the next oldest picture and clones it 43 times. I did scandisk on the SD card just to be safe but it came up clean. Update: When I open the old Media gallery it says 43 pictures, but when I open that folder it shows the one picture I took and 42 empty white boxes.

Why do I feel so differently from the Reverend Dr Price, and those of his lay flock, who will choose to adopt the sentiments of his discourse?—For this plain reason—because it is natural I should; because we are so made as to be affected at such spectacles with melancholy sentiments upon the unstable condition of mortal prosperity, and the tremendous uncertainty of human greatness; because in those natural feelings we learn great lessons; because in events like these our passions instruct our reason; because when kings are hurl'd from their thrones by the Supreme Director of this great drama, and become the objects of insult to the base, and of pity to the good, we behold such disasters in the moral, as we should behold a miracle in the physical order of things. We are alarmed into reflexion; our minds (as it has long since been observed) are purified by terror and pity; our weak unthinking pride is humbled, under the dispensations of a mysterious wisdom.—Some tears might be drawn from me, if such a spectacle were exhibited on the stage. I should be truly ashamed of finding in myself that superficial, theatric sense of painted distress, whilst I could exult over it in real life. With such a perverted mind, I could never venture to shew my face at a tragedy. People would think the tears that Garrick formerly, or that Siddons not long since, have extorted from me, were the tears of hypocrisy; I should know them to be the tears of folly.
Indeed the theatre is a better school of moral sentiments than churches, where the feelings of humanity are thus outraged. Poets, who have to deal with an audience not yet graduated in the school of the rights of men, and who must apply themselves to the moral constitution of the heart, would not dare to produce such a triumph as a matter of exultation. There, where men follow their natural impulses, they would not bear the odious maxims of a Machiavelian policy, whether applied to the attainments of monarchical or democratic tyranny. They would reject them on the modern, as they once did on the antient stage, where they could not bear even the hypothetical proposition of such wickedness in the mouth of a personated tyrant, though suitable to the character he sustained. No theatric audience in Athens would bear what has been borne, in the midst of the real tragedy of this triumphal day; a principal actor weighing, as it were in scales hung in a shop of horrors,—so much actual crime against so much contingent advantage,—and after putting in and out weights, declaring that the balance was on the side of the advantages. They would not bear to see the crimes of new democracy posted as in a ledger against the crimes of old despotism, and the book-keepers of politics finding democracy still in debt, but by no means unable or unwilling to pay the balance. In the theatre, the first intuitive glance, without any elaborate process of reasoning, would shew, that this method of political computation, would justify every extent of crime. They would see, that on these principles, even where the very worst acts were not perpetrated, it was owing rather to the fortune of the conspirators, than to their parsimony in the expenditure of treachery and blood. They would soon see, that criminal means once tolerated are soon preferred. They present a shorter cut to the object than through the highway of the moral virtues. Justifying perfidy and murder for public benefit, public benefit would soon become the pretext, and perfidy and murder the end; until rapacity, malice, revenge, and fear more dreadful than revenge, could satiate their insatiable appetites. Such must be the consequences of losing in the splendour of these triumphs of the rights of men, all natural sense of wrong and right.
(Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France, ed. L. G. Mitchell [New York: Oxford University Press, 1993], 80-2 [italics in original] [first published in 1790])
Note from KBJ: Deontologists affirm, and consequentialists deny, that certain acts, such as killing the innocent, are intrinsically wrong. To a consequentialist, no act, even killing the innocent, is intrinsically wrong. An act is wrong, if it is wrong, only because its consequences are worse than those of some alternative act. This opens the door to calculation (Burke's "political computation"). If killing the king has better overall consequences than not killing the king, then it's right to kill the king and wrong not to. Burke is railing against this sort of consequentialist thinking, which holds that the end justifies the means. To a deontologist, it is false that the end justifies the means. Certain acts are intrinsically wrong. Either they are never to be performed, no matter how much evil will be prevented thereby, or they are to be performed only to prevent a great deal of evil. The former is absolutist deontology; the latter is moderate deontology. Do you see how both differ from consequentialism?

46 years of creation off the beaten path
Zeuhl Wortz Kosmik
It was in 1970 that the explosive compound of a cavernous bass and a hammering beat erupted from our record players, as an otherworldly voice chanted in a mysterious language, the sound swelling with incandescent guitar riffs and the full force of a brass section. Thus began a first, double album, quite simply entitled Magma.
Its strangeness and creative force meant that Magma would never appeal to everyone but the Parisian group's landmark debut immediately guaranteed them a place in music history. Hailing from such diverse musical backgrounds as jazz, classical, blues, rock and pop, the eight founding musicians had all the talent required to bring this unique and visionary music to life. The band has since gone through an almost constant stream of personnel changes, but the alumni list looks like a who's who of top caliber French musicians. So common was it for musicians to subsequently launch their careers as sidemen or soloists that people sometimes refer to the Magma school of music
In 1973, Magma gained international recognition with Mekanïk Destruktïẁ Kommandöh. Produced by eccentric impresario, Giorgio Gomelsky, this extended suite of devastating power dropped yet another musical bombshell. The brass was toned down to give the choir, driven by an implacable rhythm, pride of place; this was the first album to feature the voice of Stella Vander.
Between 1974 and 1979 the group experienced its most intense period of work, both in the studio and on stage: Ẁurdah Ïtah, a quartet which provided the score for the film Tristan et Iseult; Köhntarkösz, an album dominated by its somber and majestic title piece. Üdü Ẁüdü was the culmination of the perfect symbiosis between Christian Vander and Jannik Top, including the legendary De Futura. Attahk, with cover design by Swiss surrealist painter H.R. Giger brought this cycle to a close, along with the magnificent live recording of the 1975 concert, Magma Live. After taking time out to focus on various related projects (Christian Vander Trio, Offering, Les Voix de Magma) and to build the "live" archive (Konzert Zünd, a definitive box set of 12 CDs released in Christmas 2015), Magma returned in 1985 with Merci.
The music of MAGMA is eternal
Since 1996 MAGMA has returned to the stage with a group of talented young musicians, playing the mythic works of the 70s repertoire, as well as new material, to an audience mainly comprised of young people.
Between 2005 and 2015 were released 5 albums :
« K.A ». The hypnotic tension, the explosive climaxes, the fantastic pyrotechnic drumming, the massive and intricate vocal arrangements, the gut-wrenching bass lines and the classical pomposity fused with almost jungle-strength R n' B – all the hallmarks of Christian Vander's special genius are found here intact.
« Emëhntëhtt-Ré». Initiated in 1975, its composition beholds its whole fulfillment after more than three decades. It is the testimony of an unwaveringly timeless inspiration, of which the expectant present asserts itself beyond history.
« Félicité Thösz ». Already aired in concert and well-attended by legions of the band's fans, is a formidable mix of all the sonic colours which has made this cult band absolutely uncategorizable!
To celebrate Magma's 45th anniversary, the drummer has produced a radically new version of his composition "Rïah Sahïltaahk" which is being brought out independently of the original album's re-release. Also new, in January 2015, was the release of Shlag Tanz, a score that strides like a metal symphony!
Clearly Magma is one of the most influential of all French bands. They have left a legacy of music that defies any of the standard and convenient classifications of rock, operating instead in a realm of their own creation. It waits to be discovered by new converts, and continually by older fans alike.

Hello, I have Business Small SingleSite 7.0 and wordpress 4.7. My resources are homes. I rent a small home and a large home and both at the same time. I only want one guest at a time as well. So I need the public to be able to see and understand which of my resources are rented on the webpage calendar. In other words if someone has rented my small home for a week, and someone else wants to rent both homes for that same week the calendar for the both homes resource needs to reflect that the small home is rented so I don't get double booked. Can someone help with this?
Hello there,
I have the business medium version.
In the admin panel, in the calendar overview there is a problem: The check out date is marked as booked, but it should be marked as available.
How can i change that?
How can I update the date on the default calendar it is showing jan of 2016 ..it needs to show jan of 2017
I have protected the wp-admin on the server with a .htaccess
when a user clicks on the calendar, he is promted with a popup to enter the login data to this htaccess
is there a way to switch that off?
I would like to use the [balance_hint] tag in the email but the value doesn't display.
I use multi user version 7.0
Thank you for your help.
How can I insert a locked field?

Depictions of Real People
Depictions of real people are frequently a component of art, and the ability to reference, discuss, and critique others is a fundamental part of free expression. The First Amendment generally protects artists' use of depictions of real people in their art, though there are several circumstances in which the rights of the person being depicted may trump those of the artist.
Generally, a false statement about another person that reflects poorly on their character and is presented as true and factual information could be considered defamation. The key issue is whether the negative comment is conveyed as a fact about the person, or merely as the speaker's opinion. Artists cannot be successfully sued for expressing their opinions about another person, and negative depictions of real people in a parody or satire are also protected when it is clear that a reasonable person could not have interpreted the parody as stating actual facts. (For a discussion of another type of parody – involving the use of copyrighted material, please see the section on sampling and appropriation.)
The law also makes a distinction between commentary about private and public figures. A false but damaging statement about a private figure may be defamatory if the speaker was negligent in verifying the truth of the statement, but when the person depicted is a public figure, the speaker must be acting maliciously, with the intent to harm the person, in order to be liable for defamation.
When artists create art that involves the images of public figures, another issue they face is whether they may make a profit from the other person's image. Everyone, including celebrities and public personalities, has the general right to control the use of his or her image for commercial exploitation. Courts are often concerned, however, that putting limitations on the use of public figures' images might chill the free exchange of ideas and political debate. Courts draw the line when a public figure's image is used to convey his support or endorsement of a product. For example, an artist may, in general, sell a print that depicts the president, but if the print implies the president's endorsement of a product, it would violate the president's publicity rights.The Basics
In general, the law does not protect artists who knowingly make false assertions of fact about another person that damage that person's reputation or otherwise cause them harm. Further, people have rights over the use of their name, likeness, and personality. In the United States these rights are generally categorized as privacy rights and publicity rights. Another key point to remember is an individual has strong rights to protect their name, image, likeness, personality, or voice when they are used for advertising. However, artists may use another person's image as a commentary in their art, which occurs frequently in the context of parody and satire.
When an artist creates a work that is makes false assertions about another individual, the person depicted may be able to sue the artist for defamation of character. Defamation, which includes slander (spoken defamation) and libel (written defamation/defamation in a fixed medium), is any comment that reflects negatively on a person's character or harms his or her reputation. Under U.S. law, only comments that are presented as statements of fact can be considered defamatory; comments that are clearly expressions of the speaker's opinion are not defamation.
There are different standards under defamation law for commentary about public and private figures. Public figures include politicians, celebrities, and any other person who has put him- or herself in the public spotlight or has greater-than-usual access to the media. They can only succeed in a claim of defamation if they can prove that the speaker made his comment knowing that it was false, or with reckless disregard to the truth of the comment – this is known as the "actual malice" standard. Actual malice can be very difficult for a public figure to prove, and public figures are rarely successful in defamation cases. Private figures, however, only have to demonstrate that the speaker acted negligently in verifying the truth of the statement.
Typically, artists have less to worry about with regard to defamation lawsuits than, for example, news reporters do. This is because in order to be defamatory, a statement must be an assertion of fact, or something that a reasonable person would interpret as a fact, and not merely the opinion of the speaker. Works of art that express an artist's opinions and ideas about other people are less likely to be interpreted as statements of fact than news articles would be. Artists who work in parody and satire also receive protection from defamation suits, since parodic works cannot be reasonably understood as stating actual facts.
A parody is a work that imitates another work, or makes fun of an individual or entity, in order to criticize or comment on the target. Parody generally receives a high level of protection under the First Amendment, with courts recognizing that this kind of critical speech lies at the heart of free expression. In certain cases, however, courts must balance the parody artist's free speech rights against the reputation and copyright interests of the subjects of the parody.
When work parodyies someone, defamation cases hinge on whether the statement in the parody is judged to be an assertion of fact or an opinion. Because parody as a style depends on sarcasm and deadpan delivery, courts will look at the context of the parody as well as the statements it makes to determine whether a reasonable person would think that the parody was actually offering up a factual account.
Rights to Privacy and Publicity
Privacy and publicity rights protect the ability of a person to control the commercial use of their image, and to prevent unauthorized or intrusive uses of their image. These rights stem from state, not federal, law. Privacy torts protect photographs and voice recordings of an individual's private activities and communications in ways that may constrain how those materials can be used in art without the person's consent. Publicity rights, by contrast, generally apply to advertising and merchandising. Publicity rights do not end when a person dies and may be passed to their estate.
Publicity Rights
Most controversies in this area deal with improper interference with an individual's publicity rights. Generally, most controversies occur with respect to celebrities, since they commonly use their image and likeness for commercial benefit in films, advertisements, and endorsements. Politicians do not typically use their image to sell products, but because they are public figures, their likeness may in some cases be used on products sold by others. But artists and other people cannot use a public figure's image completely free of limitations. When the image is used for commercial gains, courts must balance the First-Amendment rights of the artist with the public figure's publicity rights.
To do this, courts ask whether the use of the image is for a commercial purpose. An individual's likeness and image cannot be used to promote a product without consent. For instance, selling a t-shirt that implies the president endorses the product violates his or her publicity rights; this includes selling a t-shirt bearing the president's image without consent. Yes, all those t-shirts sold on the street with the president's image are technically illegal. But it is so difficult to enforce this type of publicity right that most public figures don't bother, especially when the free publicity works in their favor. In contrast, selling a t-shirt with a caricature of the president does not violate that individual's publicity rights because caricature includes a significant degree of original expression, along with the public figure's likeness, and this original expression is protected by the First Amendment.
So how does a court determine whether the art is for commercial purpose? Many courts ask whether the art is transformative, or if the art is just representational. A still photo of a public figure is representational, but the caricature of the photo is transformed or substantially changed. If the court finds the art is transformative, it is probably protected. This area of case law is exceedingly gray and depends on the circumstances and context of the image. For instance, courts often take into account the medium on which the art appears: images in newspapers and magazines receive significant deference, but mugs, t-shirts and other "product" type objects are less likely to be protected.
Finally, do not confuse publicity rights with copyrights. Copyrights differ from publicity rights (and privacy rights) because they cover an artist's intellectual property rights in the art, while publicity rights refer to the subject of the art. Thus, in the context of using an image of a celebrity, an artist must consider both the publicity rights of the celebrity, but also possibly the copyrights of the original artist who made the image in the first place. Also, copyright law is based in federal law, not state law. For more information, see the US Copyright Office page and our discussion of sampling and appropriation.
Privacy Torts
Artists, particularly those who use photographs, video, or sound recording in their work, should be aware of how courts in their state respond to intrusions on privacy. Where a subject has not consented to a recording, courts may consider whether the person had a reasonable expectation of privacy. Photographs taken in public places or featuring people visible from public vantage points are generally not subject to privacy torts, but some jurisdictions allow limited rights against certain uses of "street photography" that zoom in on an identifiable person or misrepresent his or her activities. Finally, artists may be subject to tort or criminal liability for non-consensual intrusions, such as recordings made using deception, hidden surveillance equipment such as recorders or drones, or trespass into a home or private place.
Typically, a person who consents to have his or her image or likeness recorded by another is understood to have consented to later display and publication of that material for documentary or artistic purposes. However, artists should be aware of new laws against "non-consensually shared explicit images" that may test this longstanding rule for nude or sexually explicit images published without the subject's permission. Moreover, artists may be required to secure the subject's permission to use any consensually taken recordings for advertising or other commercial purposes, sometimes in writing, depending on the state.
If you're using another person's image or likeness in your art, you're safest if he or she is a public figure.
Politicians, performers, and other celebrities can generally be depicted in art, but if the person is not well known, be cautious: you may need to get their permission first. Even politicians and celebrities, however, may be able to make claims based on a right of publicity.
If your art is going to be used for a commercial purpose, you'll need permission from the individuals featured in it.
Be sure that if your art is going to be used to advertise or sell something, you have contracts or agreements with any individual featured in the art for every possible use of their likeness. Approval for the use of an individual's image in a video is not the same as a contract for the use of his image in a photo advertisement. An artist must get an individual's approval for each form of presentation.
Find out who owns the rights to the images you use.
While a person has the right to her own likeness, another artist might own the right to the specific image or photograph that you want to use. For more on this particular issue, see our discussion of sampling and appropriation. Before you selling any merchandise with the name, image, or likeness of any public figure, be sure you understand whether you need their consent. Every state has different laws and some might be very confusing, so if you have any questions, be sure to speak with a lawyer that specializes in privacy rights for that state.
New York Times v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964)
This case addressed the balance between a public figure's right to protect his reputation and the freedom of the press to report on matters of public concern. The New York Times published an advertisement that contained a number of factually inaccurate claims about the behavior of police in Montgomery, Alabama, during the Civil Rights movement. City Commissioner L.B. Sullivan sued for defamation in Alabama state court and won. The New York Times appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the state court decision and held that the Alabama law was "constitutionally deficient for failure to provide the safeguards for freedom of speech and of the press that are required by the First . . . Amendment in a libel action brought by a public official against critics of his official conduct." The Court considered the issue in light of the need for a robust public debate on important issues, and found that "[e]ven a false statement may be deemed to make a valuable contribution to public debate, since it brings about the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." Thus, the Court held that it is not enough for a defamatory statement merely to be false: a public official must also demonstrate that a defamatory statement was "made with actual malice – that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Hustler Magazine, Inc. et al. v. Jerry Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988)
In this case, the Reverend Jerry Falwell sued the Hustler Magazine over an fake ad it published that parodied an advertising campaign for the aperitif Campari. Campari ran a series of ads with the double entendre "Do you remember your first time?" accompanied by an interview with a celebrity discussing their first taste of Campari. Hustler's parody mimicked the Campari ad design and used a picture of Falwell alongside a fake interview that implied, among other things, that Falwell had committed incest with his mother. Hustler noted that its advertisement was a parody in small text below the ad itself, as well as in the table of contents to the magazine. Falwell sued for libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lower courts rejected Falwell's libel claim, finding that the parody could not reasonably be understood as reporting true facts. The Supreme Court then found that, when the subject of a published statement such as the Hustler parody is a public figure, the "actual malice" standard from libel cases applies in cases involving intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well. Falwell was not permitted to recover money damages from Hustler merely because the magazine published something "outrageous" about him – the Court held that the actual malice standard was necessary to provide "breathing space" for the First Amendment, and to prevent chilling speech about those in the public eye.
It's important to note that this case was a suit between Falwell, the public figure, and Hustler, the speaker/publisher of the parody, about the effects of the parody on Falwell's reputation. Campari did not sue to enforce any intellectual property rights over the form of its advertisements, even though Hustler copied the format, typeface, and tag line of the Campari ads quite precisely.
Privacy and Publicity
State Laws
Publicity rights are a matter of state law, and it is important to note how the law can vary among states, and what implications this may have for your art. Some states define publicity rights by statute and others rely on "common law" (the law developed by court decisions). Some states do not define publicity rights at all. For more information or to get an idea of what rules exist in your state, see rightofpublicity.com. Two states that deal with significant amounts of right-of-publicity litigation are California and New York. Both states have statutes that require an individual's consent before using her name, likeness, or image for commercial purposes, but they differ in how and why the state protects the right.
California's statute is based in property rights – the basic idea is that a person owns the right to use his own image, and can transfer or sell that right to other people, the way you would sell or transfer any other kind of personal property. The California statute prohibits people from using "another's name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products, merchandise, or goods, or for purposes of advertising or selling, or soliciting purchases of, products, merchandise, goods or services." As a property right, California extends publicity rights to the estate of the deceased. As a result, even after an individual dies, the estate can still protect the individual's image, likeness and personality. The statute, however, does not apply when the image or likeness is used for the "news, public affairs, or sports broadcast or account, or any political campaign."
New York
New York's statute is similar to California's, but is not quite as extensive. New York also requires an individual's consent to use her name, portrait or picture for trade (commercial) purposes. But since the statute is based in privacy rights, they are not transferrable to an estate, and once a person dies, their rights to privacy cease to exist. Thus, a deceased individual's image, likeness, and personality can be used for commercial purposes in New York.
Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard Broadcasting, 433 U.S. 562 (1977)
Zacchini was a performer whose act consisted of being shot from a cannon into a net 200 feet away. A reporter for Scripps-Howard recorded his entire act without Zacchini's consent and aired the performance on the nightly news. Zacchini sued, contending the airing of his act was "an unlawful appropriation of his act without his consent." The lower courts disagreed: the trial court found in favor of Scripps; the Ohio Court of Appeals reversed in favor of Zacchini; and the Ohio Supreme Court reversed the court of appeals in favor of Scripps, finding the news was of public interest. Finally, on review, the Supreme Court reversed the Ohio Supreme Court, holding that the broadcast of the entire act eroded Zacchini's commercial incentive and economic interests.
Zacchini is particularly relevant to postings on the Internet because it illustrates some limits on the reproduction of a person's likeness. Even news organizations can be subject to publicity rights claims.
Comedy III Productions, Inc. v. Gary Saderup, Inc., 25 Cal. 4th 387 (Cal. 2001)
Comedy III productions owned all the rights to the comedy act the Three Stooges. Comedy III sued artist Gary Saderup because he sold a charcoal sketch of the Three Stooges as lithographed copies and on "t-shirts bearing reproductions of the sketch." The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of California, which applied what is now known as the transformative effects test to determine whether the work in question deserves First-Amendment protection. The key, for the state supreme court, was to determine "whether a product containing a celebrity's likeness is so transformed that it has become primarily the defendant's own expression rather than the celebrity's likeness." Applying this test to Saderup's sketches, the lithographed copies, and the printed t-shirts, the Court stated that it found "no significant transformative or creative contribution."
Comedy III is an important case because it introduced the transformative effects test, a test that some courts outside of California have also applied (see ETW v. Jireh below). Comedy III also demonstrates how subjective a court's decision can be: the court simply stated the work was not transformative, but it did not provide any sort of clear test to define what degree of "creative contribution" will make a work transformative. As a result, artists need to be sure that, if they use any images of public figures in their art, their work contains substantial elements beyond the image.
ETW Corporation v. Jireh Publishing, Inc., 332 F.3d 915 (6th Cir. 2003)
An artist painted a picture celebrating Tiger Woods's victory at the 1997 Masters Tournament. The painting placed Woods in a collage with the likeness of other past victors of the tournament. The artist then sold copies of the painting. Woods's licensing company (ETW) sued contending the painting violated his publicity rights. The district court ruled in favor of the artist. The federal Court of Appeals affirmed the district court: holding the artist did not violate Woods's publicity rights because the artists added enough of a creative component to transform the likeness.
ETW further illustrates the varied circumstances that can define cases about publicity rights. Specifically, ETW highlights the importance of the various elements that comprise the work in question. In ETW, the court looked at the creative content of the piece, finding (1) the added content outweighed any adverse effects on Woods' market share for his image; (2) the additional elements in the piece (e.g. the clubhouse, leader board and caddy) added to Woods's image such that it had protection under the First Amendment; and, (3) the painting satisfied a transformative effects test because it was a "collage of images in addition to Woods's image which are combined to describe, in artistic form, a historic event in sports history and to convey a message about the significance of Woods's achievement in that event."
Garcia v. Google, No. 12-57302 (9th Cir. 2015) (en banc)
In the famous "Innocence of Muslim" lawsuit, an actress who was manipulated into appearing in a controversial film sued Google to have the video removed from YouTube, claiming authorship rights over her individual performance allowed her to enjoin the film. After initially approving the content-takedown request, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed its decision and released its injunction on Google, holding that "The appeal teaches a simple lesson – a weak copyright claim cannot justify censorship in the guise of authorship."

EL wire, or electroluminescent wire, is a flexible wire coated in phosphor. Apply the appropriate voltage and it lights up! Each EL wire looks a lot like a thin flexible neon tube and they come in many bright colors which can be driven pretty easily with an inverter. As this is a "chasing" EL wire you will see the glowing red light seem to move across the length of itself as if it were flowing out the end, this feature provides you to add some really fantastic lighting effects to your next project!
This particular wire is 3m (almost 10 feet) in length, 2.3mm in diameter and is terminated with a 4-pin JST SMP connector. Each EL wire is also designed to be driven at 3.3V with an inverter. The connector works perfectly with the inverter and pigtail that have come out with this EL wire line, which can both be found in the Recommended Products section below.

Did you know that you could make your own puff pastry? Did you know it's not that hard? Did you know that it only has five ingredients? Well, it's all true. I learned how to make puff pastry last winter when I took an awesome cooking class. I was amazed at how easy it was to make. If you make your own pie crust, you would find it extremely easy.
There are a couple of things you should know before you get started. First of all, make sure that all of your ingredients are REALLY cold. You need to put the flour and butter in the freezer for an hour and the water needs to be ice cold. The other thing is don't overwork the dough and don't use too much water.
Look for an upcoming post with a recipe for a savory tart using your homemade puff pastry.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup ice water

Here is a Pineapple Banana fruit smoothie recipe to try. A lot of the goodness in fruit smoothies comes from being able to add a great deal of fruit to your daily meal plans without a lot of fuss and bother. This recipe makes that happen in a very tasty and satisfying way. Easy to make in the morning or as a snack.
Its also easy to turn this delicious mixed fruit smoothie treat into a nutrition powerhouse just by adding a tablespoon of Chia seed. Chia is a natural seed that adds a large measure of nutrition including heart healthy, cholesterol fighting omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Even better, unlike Flax, Chia doesn't have a noticeable taste of its own so adding it here won't change the delicious results.
In your favorite blender mix:
– 1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced (tip: Peel and slice before freezing!)
– 1 cup of milk (soy, 2% or evaporated)
– 1/cup of pineapple chunks
– 1 Tbsp honey
– 1 Tbsp Chia seed
– 4-6 ice cubes
Blend the banana, milk, pineapple and honey along with 3 ice cubes to start. Mix until you have a smooth creamy drink adding more ice cubes or milk as needed. This is an easy recipe to double.

As advertised
We bought this rung to go under our kitchen table to replace and existing sisal rug that was at the end of its life. We are very happy with the quality and color. The rug has a rubber backing so it won't slip, not that ours would under our table anyway.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? As good as you can get with a picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good

Steve Chiotakis: In these troubled economic waters, the cruise industry is trying to stay afloat. They've started offering big discounts to get vacationers back onboard. From the America's Desk at WLRN in Miami, Dan Grech reports.
Dan Grech: The cruise industry has been hit by the recession. Advanced bookings are down. And shares have taken a beating. Carnival and Royal Caribbean have even suspended dividend payments to conserve cash.
Jennifer de la Cruz is spokeswoman for Miami-based Carnival. The cruise line has slashed the price on a seven-day Caribbean cruise to $299.
Jennifer de la Cruz: A lot of times, people don't necessarily sacrifice their vacation plans, but they may start trading down and looking for things more value-oriented.
Cruise lines are hoping that heavy discounts will generate money fast. And travel agents are urging bargain hunters to nail down these offers soon. The busiest booking period is typically after the New Year.
In Miami, I'm Dan Grech for Marketplace.

As a System Center Consultant I am often asked "will SCOM check to see if we are following the Microsoft best practices for a particular Microsoft product". Before SCOM 2012 R2 came out I would answer with a "it depends". Most Microsoft management packs are authored to provide information around the health of the application and sometimes the product group will throw in some rules or monitors around what they feel is a best practice. Most of the time these rules or monitors were at the result of customer feedback and Microsoft Support requests.
A really cool new feature in SCOM 2012 R2 is the integration with System Center Advisor. Per Microsoft, System Center Advisor is an online service that analyzes installations of Microsoft Server software and alerts the customer to potential issues. Issues can be as simple as missing a recommended patch or something more serious like a configuration issues.
Getting Started
First thing you need to do is register for a System Center Advisor account (don't worry its free). You can either click on the link provided in the SCOM Console under Administration \ System Center Advisor \ Advisor Connection. Look under Get Started and you will see "Register to Advisor Service".
Clicking this link will start the "Advisor Onboarding Wizard: Authentication"
I am going to click on the first option and use my Microsoft Live ID but you should review your options and select what makes sense for you.
Enter in your credentials and click "Sign in".
On this screen, I need to provide a name for my Advisor Account. I am going to name it something that makes sense to me like "Kuehfus Lab". Click Next.
Review your setting and click Create.
Once its finished click Close.
Add a Computer Group
A group can be used to control which servers Advisor checks. If you don't already have a computer group to use you will first need to go to Authoring and create one (if you already have one scroll down a bit).
Click on the highlighted Task above
Give your group a name and store it in a management pack. I created a new management pack to store my group.
Click "Add/Remove Objects…."
In "Search for" I changed this to Windows Computer and select a few of my servers.
Click Next through the rest of the wizard and click Create.
Now, navigate to Administration \ System Center Advisor \ Advisor Connection and look for "Add a Computer Group" under Actions. Click on it. The Computer Search page should open. Under Options I changed it to "All Instances Groups" and selected my new Advisor Computers group.
Click OK
Optional Configuration
There are two items of note here.
- Configure Proxy Server is a very simple but important page where one enters in the proxy info. If you are unsure if you have a proxy check with your system admin.
Check the box and enter your proxy info
- Manage Alert Rules is where you go to enable or disable certain checks and alerts.
Selecting this link opens Internet Explorer where you first need to select the type of account you are using.
I am using the first choice list here the Microsoft account because I am using a live ID.
Enter your creds and click Sign in. Note: The Advisor site requires Silverlight and you will be prompted to install it if you don't already have it.
Once the System Center Advisor site opens you will see a page with two tabs "Ignored Alert Rules" and "Available Alert Rules". Seeing as this is the first time we are using Advisor for this account the "Ignored Alert Rules" is blank.
Click on the tab for "Available Alert Rules" and you will be presented with the list of rules.
From here you can drill into one of the Classes and uncheck one of the rules to disable.
In this example I deselected the "PowerShell was not enabled" rule and will now click apply.
Now under "Ignored Alert Rules" you can see I have one rule I am currently Ignoring.
As you work through using Advisor in a live environment you will be spending time disabling the checks that do not interest you.
Advisor in action
Now that we have an account configured, a group selected to use and configured our proxy and alert rules we can navigate to the Monitoring space in SCOM to start reviewing the Advisor Information.
First lets click on the Active Alerts and see what's coming in.
Looks like Advisor is notifying me that I am missing a Windows update (2871777) on my management servers.
According to the details, I should take a look at an article but it looks like no article is listed in the alert. But what you will see if a task called "View Solution/KB Article" in the task pane. Running this task brought me to the correct KB.
I think that is really cool and works quite well, although a little difficult to initially discover.
Let me run windows update to see if I missing this patch and if this corrects the issue.
Yup. I'm missing the patch. I updated my management server and rebooted to see if the Advisor alert will resolve on its own but because these are generated by rules not monitors we will need to manual resolve the alert. This brings us to the question of how long until the rule runs again to see if it comes back. A quick look at the override configuration has the Frequency at 300 seconds (every 5 minutes).
Managing Advisor Alerts from SCOM
The SCOM \ Advisor integration has also include a few other handing tasks for managing the Advisor rules.
This task pack becomes available when you select any of the Advisor Alerts.
Say I would like to ignore one of my Advisor Alerts because is not required for my environment.
For Example, The SQL Alert around performance and indexes on my SCCM database (below).
I simple click on the "Ignore Alert…" task.
The Task takes me to the online Advisor portal where I needed to login and answer the following question:
In my scenario I only want to ignore this alert on this specific server because the SCCM database is managed by the SCCM software and I am not to mess with it. So I selected the second option "All alerts from this rule on the selected server" can clicked OK.
Advisor notifies me the Opt out rule is created. I click on Close and IE asks me to close the browser.
To look at my current settings in Advisor I can run the Task "Manage Alert Rules…" which brings up the Manage Alert Rule view in the Advisor portal.
Hope this helps.

- Best Mobile Apps for Home Theater
Posted by : Amanda Stein Monday, July 1, 2013
Smart phones and tablets are the latest additions to home theaters. Most of the equipment in a home theater has the potential to interact with a mobile device.
Home Automation
If you have a home automation system, also known as a smart home, you can control everything from your window blinds to your AV receiver using your phone or tablet. You don't even have to be in your house to work some of these systems. You can turn on your sprinklers while on vacation. The app you use will depend on the home automation system you have installed in your house. These apps are generally brand specific.
Universal Remote
The good news: universal remotes are going obsolete. Home theater owners are starting to use their phones and tablets to turn on TVs, change channels, turn up the volume on their surround sound systems, stream movies to their TVs or projector, etc.
The bad news: your television and many other electronic devices respond to infrared signals, which your phone cannot produce. To use a universal remote app, you need to purchase a device that will convert your phone's signal into an infrared (IR) signal.
A few manufacturers make IR devices. High end, more expensive systems have small objects that you can place in your home theater and leave there. Less expensive IR devices plug directly into your phone RedEye stands out for working with a range of mobile gadgets; in addition to iOS and Android phones, it works with iTouch, PCs and Kindle Fire.
There are two basic types of media streaming apps: apps that let you stream from a website and apps that let you stream from your own media library. The most popular streaming sites for movies and tv are Netflix and Hulu. Newcomer, Crackle, is gaining popularity. Pandora and Spotify dominate the music streaming market. All of these sites have mobile apps that allow you to stream to your phone or tablet. You can plug your mobile device into your AV receiver and hear Spotify over your surround sound speakers or watch Netflix on your big screen.
iPads and other tablets have a limited amount of space; music and video can take up a lot of that space. Apps like Air Video let you stream any format of video from your computer to your mobile Apple device. You can keep all your files on your desktop computer and still view them on your mobile device.
TV Providers
Odds are that if you have a home theater you have a cable or satellite TV provider. Most major providers have convenient mobile apps that will enhance your home theater. DISH has a well-rated mobile app that allows subscribers to watch On Demand movies and TV on their mobile device in any place. It even connects to social media sites, in case you want to easily let all your friends know what you are watching. HBO Go is a similar app that gives subscribers access to HBO programming. You can start watching a show on your home theater and finish watching it on your tablet.
Tech Help
There are a variety of apps available to help with technical aspects of your home theater. Confused about your equipment? Look it up in Home Theater Glossary. Worried that you are keeping your neighbors up with your sound system? DB is an app that measures the decibel level in your room and gives you a handy comparison. For example, your speakers may be as loud as a screaming baby. HTCables has pictures of all the cables and ports you may find in a home theater, so you can figure out if you have the cables you need.
If your smart phone is your remote control, you may find yourself searching the couch cushions for your phone when you want to change channels. With the Find My Phone app, you can use your computer to tell your phone to make a chirping sound that helps you relocate the phone.
Post by Sydney Olson, writer and an audio/video enthusiast who works at a home theater store in Houston, TX.

Swindon UK-based femtocell vendor Ubiquisys is using JTAG Technologies' boundary-scan test solutions for volume production of its ZoneGate product. The provision of the test solutions is the result of extensive collaboration between the two companies and, by providing test development services and systems for factory testing, JTAG Technologies was able to relieve the burden of developing structural PCB tests.
Femtocell products address the urgent demand from consumers for cost-effective, high-quality 3G coverage in the home, and Ubiquisys' offering introduces a fast and efficient way of opening the Internet to mobile users and delivering new revenue streams to operators.
ZoneGate, which is in mass production today at Sony UK Tech, is a single PCB product which architecturally splits into RF circuitry, baseband processing, clock circuits and power supplies. The baseband processing is achieved using a custom femtocell chip and an FPGA, memory is provided by DDR2 SDRAM and there is also a flash chip. Pete Keevill, founder and VP Engineering of Ubiquisys, comments: "ZoneGate is a relatively compact, mixed-signal design with about 1,000 nets – the majority of which connect BGA-packaged digital components."
For testing purposes, traditional bed-of-nails style structural testing via an ICT was out of the question. Also, providing dedicated ICT test points would consume a significant percentage of the board real estate and would have introduced significant signal integrity issues (particularly impractical in the RF section of the PCB).
Keevill continues: "Our test strategy therefore is to marry functional testing of the board's RF, analogue and power components with boundary-scan testing of the digital components. However, only two of the components on the board are boundary-scan devices, so they need to be able to cluster test several non-boundary-scan devices."
Ubiquisys considered the products from a number of boundary-scan tool vendors and, based on solution suitability and experience residing within the company, selected JTAG Technologies. "Of particular merit was JTAG Technologies' 4 TAP controller," adds Keevill, "as the ZoneGate PCB has two boundary-scan chains, so we're able to test two boards at the same time."
James Stanbridge, JTAG Technologies' Sales Manager UK, notes: "We built our reputation in the 1990s, supplying boundary-scan test and programming systems to the big cellular providers such as Motorola and Nokia. Now, some ten years down the line, we are still providing to leading companies which, because of the nature of comms business, need to be able to ramp up production [and by extension test] to meet market demands."
About JTAG Technologies
JTAG Technologies is a market leader and technology innovator of boundary-scan software and hardware products and services. The company was the first to bring to the market such important advances as automated test generation, automated fault coverage analysis, automated flash and PLD programming via boundary-scan, and visualized boundary-scan analysis. Its customers include world leaders in electronics design and manufacturing such as Ericsson, Flextronics, Honeywell, Medtronic, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Raytheon, Rockwell-Collins, Samsung, and Sony. Its innovative boundary-scan products provide test preparation, test execution, test result analysis and in-system programming applications. With an installed base of over 5,500 systems worldwide, JTAG Technologies serves the communications, medical electronics, avionics, defence, automotive, and consumer industries with offices throughout North America, Europe and Asia. JTAG Technologies headquarters are located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
About Ubiquisys
Ubiquisys was formed in 2004 to bring its ground-breaking ZoneGate femtocell technology to market. ZoneGate femtocells are manufactured with Sony UK Tech and are available as standalone units or as part of a residential gateway device such as Netgear's DVG834GH. The system supports multiple interfaces to the operator's core network, and is remotely managed and updated using standard TR-069 management systems such as Motive's Home Device Manager. Ubiquisys' sole focus is femtocells, and in 2007 it created the Femto Forum to promote standards and partnerships in this fast-emerging industry. In May 2008 ABI Research named Ubiquisys as the world's leading femtocell vendor in their Femtocell Vendor Matrix. The company is funded by Accel Partners, Advent Venture Partners, Atlas Venture, Google and T-Mobile Venture Fund.
