When it instructed courts to recognize that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation, Congress intended to end the practice of sending defendants to prison so that they might get treatment. The commands of 3582 are clear on this point: Do no imprison and do not lengthen prison sentences for the purposes of rehabilitation. ... Under the statute, judges have the power to sentence defendants to prison but not to prison programs...[W]ith regard to revocation, to the extent that that's at issue, we concur with the Solicitor General that doesn't govern a revocation of supervised release because it's not the imposition of a term of imprisonment but, rather, requiring the individual to serve a portion of the supervised release term in prison. So, by its plain terms, it simply isn't applicable.
In Microsoft v. i4i Limited Partnership [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court will determine whether the Patent Act [35 USC §§ 1-376 text] requires the invalidity defense to be proven by clear and convincing evidence. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit followed its precedent and held [opinion, PDF] that a challenger to a patent claim must prove invalidity by clear and convincing evidence. Additionally, the appeals court held that the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence as to damages or in granting enhanced damages. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the default standard of review is preponderance of the evidence, which governs all patent cases because 35 USC § 282 "does not specify a heightened standard of proof ... therefore, preponderance, the default standard applies." Counsel further explained that:
[I]t makes no sense to have a heightened standard of proof when the relevant prior art evidence was never even considered by [the Patent and Trademark Office]. Under any view, it was error to require clear and convincing proof of invalidity in this case. ... And, moreover, while the statute does not specify a heightened standard, it does actually speak to and preclude the argument that i4i makes. ... The statute requires a degree of deference by shifting the burden of proof and the burden of going forward, but for i4i to say that we need to go beyond what the presumption is, the normal default standard of preponderance, you need some heightened reason for that. There's absolutely none, particularly when the Patent Office didn't consider the evidence, didn't make a decision, there was no decision and no evidence considered going to the relevant question.
[T]he Government of Sri Lanka, in compliance with its international obligations and with a view of initiating an effective domestic accountability process, should immediately commence genuine investigations into these and other alleged violations of international humanitarians and human rights law committed by both sides involved in the armed conflict.
In December, the Sri Lankan Ministry of External Affairs [official website] announced that the UN panel would be allowed to visit [JURIST report] the island to look into alleged war crimes in the final stages of the conflict with the LTTE. The decision signaled a reversal after months of strong opposition [JURIST report] from the Sri Lankan government under President Mahinda Rajapaksa [official profile], who described the UN panel as an infringement of Sri Lanka's sovereignty. Rajapaksa appointed his own Lessons Learned and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) to investigate the final years of the conflict from the ceasefire in 2002 to its conclusion in 2009. Despite having its credibility contested by several human rights organizations, the LLRC began public hearings [JURIST report] in August with an appearance by Sri Lanka Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa [official profile], who defended the actions of the government [JURIST report] during the conflict. The government has repeatedly denied accusations that its forces violated international law during the conflict.
In the past decade, the US has made significant strides in prosecuting those involved in the El Salvadoran civil war. In 2006, US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website] upheld a $55 million verdict [JURIST report] against Vides and his co-defendant Jose Guillermo Garcia for allowing torture and other human rights violations during the war. In 2005, a US federal court reached a verdict against Nicolas Carranza, top commander of El Salvador's security forces during the civil war, for $2 million in compensatory damages [JURIST report]. The case was brought by five Salvadoran citizens who alleged torture or had family killed by Carranza's soldier during the war. In 2000, however, the US lost the battle to seek justice for the murders of four American churchwomen [NYT report] during the civil war when both Vides and Garcia were acquitted. The ruling was grounded in the doctrine that the generals, although responsible for their soldiers, may not have had complete effective power to reign in the abuses of their troops.
Other laws passed by the FIDESZ-led parliament have garnered controversy as well. In February, the government agreed to change its controversial media law following negotiations between Hungarian and EU representatives [JURIST reports]. The law created the National Media Communications Authority (NMHH) [official website, in Hungarian], which controls private television and radio broadcasters, newspapers and online news sites. Under the law, the government could fine broadcasters more than 700,000 euros and newspapers and news websites roughly 90,000 euros if their coverage is deemed unbalanced or immoral by the NMHH, made up of members loyal to FIDESZ. The law was approved in December 2010 and went into effect in January amid protests from members of the media, other European governments as well as AI, which urged Hungary to amend the law [JURIST report] because it curtails freedom of expression.
The six defendants, called the "Ocampo Six," include several high-ranking members of Kenya's government, the head of operations at Kass FM [official website] in Nairobi and the son of Kenya's first president, Jomo Kenyatta [Africa Within backgrounder]. Three of the men are members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) [party website] and the other three are members of the opposing Party for National Unity (PNU). The ODM suspects are charged with fomenting violence against PNU members following the 2007 elections because they believed the election of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki [official profile] to be rigged. In response, the PNU suspects are charged with the conspiring with the Mungiki criminal organization [Safer Access backgrounder, PDF] to attack members of the ODM party. The ICC summoned the suspects [JURIST report] after determining they would not be charged in Kenya for the alleged crimes. Earlier this month, Kenya requested that the ICC dismiss the case [JURIST report], arguing that the government is capable of prosecuting the six men domestically. The Kenyan government also announced last month that it would challenge the admissibility of cases [JURIST report] relating to the post-election violence in the ICC, as well as the jurisdiction of the court.
In my view, these offers, the lack of any meaningful challenge as to their appropriateness, and the Government's uncontested commitment to continue to work to resettle petitioners transform petitioners' claim. Under present circumstances, I see no Government-imposed obstacle to petitioners' timely release and appropriate resettlement. Accordingly, I join in the Court's denial of certiorari.
In Judulang v. Holder [docket, cert. petition, PDF], the court granted certiorari to determine whether a lawful permanent resident who was convicted by guilty plea of an offense that renders him deportable may seek a waiver of the conviction and thereby avoid removal under former section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) [text]. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the petitioner's request for a waiver, holding [opinion, PDF] that his aggravated felony crime of violence was not a ground for exclusion under the statute. The court cited its decision in Abebe v. Gonzalez as controlling the issue. In that case, the court concluded that the lack of a substantially identical statutory counterpart in § 212(a) for aggravated felony sexual abuse of a minor among the grounds for exclusion rendered the alien ineligible for § 212(c) relief.
Last December, the founder and former chief executive of Parmalat, Calisto Tanzi [NNDB profile], was convicted [JURIST report] along with 14 other former executives for the company's fraudulent bankruptcy. The court also ordered them to reimburse the company two billion euros. Last July, BOA announced that it reached a settlement [JURIST report] with Parmalat in litigation stemming from its 2003 collapse. Under the terms of the settlement, BOA will pay Pamalat USD $100 million, which includes both cash and non-cash components. The settlement resolves a $10 million lawsuit filed by Parmalat against BOA in 2004 and a counterclaim [JURIST reports] filed by BOA, alleging the company engaged in fraud and is maliciously suing the bank to shift blame. In December 2008, a Milan court in a separate case concerning stock market manipulation sentenced [JURIST report] Tanzi to 10 years in prison for his role in the company's collapse. Tanzi was the first executive to be sentenced in connection with the 14 billion euro fraud scheme in 2003 that bankrupted the company.
Besigye is the leader of the Uganda's most prominent opposition party, the Forum for Democratic Change [official website]. He lost to incumbent President Yoweri Museveni [BBC profile] in elections held this past February. The elections were criticized by the opposition as fraudulent [Guardian report]. Besigye also ran for president [BBC report] in 2002 and 2006, and, prior to that, he was Museveni's personal doctor. In October 2010, Uganda's Constitutional Court unanimously dismissed treason charges [JURIST report] against Besigye and 10 co-defendants, ruling that there was insufficient evidence and that the state had violated the defendants' rights. Besigye had been charged [JURIST report] with plotting to forcefully overthrow the Ugandan government between 2001 and 2004 but had always maintained his innocence, calling the charges against him politically motivated.
The decision came just days after the court ordered Mubarak moved to a hospital to recover from an unspecified ailment, causing a delay in questioning [JURIST report] regarding his alleged roles in protester deaths and embezzlement of government money. The week before, the chief prosecutor summoned [Al Jazeera report] Mubarak for questioning, along with his two sons, Gamal and Alaa. Egyptian authorities continued to question Mubarak's sons [AFP report] after Mubarak was taken to the hospital. In a televised statement on Sunday, Mubarak denied corruption charges [BBC report], asserted his right to defend his reputation and expressed his willingness to cooperate [Al Arabiya report] with investigations, denying that he owns property abroad or holds foreign bank accounts.

So what if the cold snap is on its way out, you still want hot chocolate. Thick, rich Italian hot chocolate, even, and there are 18 different flavors at the new Spazio Caffe, which just opened in Santa Monica. You can get a traditional dark, white or hazelnut hot chocolate, or something like pear or coconut. The owners, who also own Caffe Bello, promise Spazio is Italian to the core, from the design to the espresso (Manuel Caffe from San Vendemiano) to the barista trainer flown in from Italy. For food, there are fresh croissants and other pastries, hot and cold paninis, salads and soups made daily.
This is the first of two Spazio Caffes - the second location will open at 245 South Main Street in Venice soon - and although it's open now, the first 50 people to show up for Santa Monica's grand opening on January 26 will get a free cup of coffee.

Every time a Special Edition F2 Trans Am comes up for sale there are the inevitable musings about Smokey and the Bandit and coming of age during the 1970's. This time around we'll spare you the nostalgia trip and get to the facts: these cars are awesome to drive look at and be seen in. Their value and desirability rises every year and if you've ever dreamed of owning one today is a much better time to buy than tomorrow will be. This particular example is a well-optioned '79 model featuring a 403ci V8 automatic gearbox factory air conditioning and all the black and gold T/A swagger you could ever ask for. A 16223 actual mile survivor this numbers-matching SE is showroom fresh and offers an authentic driving experience to back up those good looks. If you're ready to cruise the boulevard in one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever assembled take a closer look at this Pontiac.
According to PHS documentation the car shipped with these factory-installed options:
C60: Air conditioning
K30: Cruise control
C49: Electric rear window defroster
A01: Soft Ray glass
TR9: Lamp group
U68: Delco AM/FM stereo radio
Y84: Special Edition Trans Am
WS6: Special Performance package
B18: Custom trim group – velour
After leaving GM's Norwood assembly line in spring of 1979 the car was trailered roughly 45 minutes north to Ray Fargo Pontiac in North Ridgeville Ohio. With over $2k in factory options and a total price of $9191.55 this was showroom material at its finest. Thanks to a lifetime of limited use and meticulous care the car remains that way in every sense. Appeal starts on the outside where a sleek coat of Starlight Black covers the familiar F-body curves. The paint is claimed to be approximately 60% original and looking over the car that seems like a fair estimate. Nothing shows as unnaturally glossy – just clean and original. That paintwork is accented by what must be a half-mile worth of gold striping that winds around nearly every predominant body line while a pair of pristine Fisher T-tops fill out the roofline.
Of course Trans Ams especially the Special Editions were about details and this one has plenty to admire. Up front a straight and glossy urethane front bumper houses the familiar quad headlight setup anchored by a centered Pontiac arrow. Down low the grille openings are accented by gold pinstripe. The hood features a shaker scoop surrounded by a classic ''screamin' chicken'' decal while ''6.6 Litre'' decals clue everyone in on just what lives beneath the hood. At either side functional fender vents pull air through the engine compartment while rear fender flares further the aggressive styling. The gold striping continues along the bottom of the car as well as around the painted sport mirrors while Firebird decals adorn the C-pillars. The back end continues that aggressive look with a Trans Am-branded decklid spoiler that rides over black out taillights that were redesigned to expand across the entire length of back end for 1979.
Under the hood 6.6 Litres of GM power back up the car's angry demeanor. While roughly 1100 1979 Trans Ams left the factory with a Poncho 400 the vast majority came equipped with the L80 403ci V8 as found in this example. The foundation is an Oldsmobile-sourced block with a 557265-4B casting number and a matching 29N127441 VIN derivative to prove its authenticity. Under the hood scoop the single-snorkel air cleaner assembly mounts over a single Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor while 4A heads with big 83cc combustion chambers frame a stock intake manifold. While horsepower numbers aren't exactly off the charts the 315lb-ft of torque does a great job of covering that fact. Up front the accessory drive turns all the usual suspects including a power steering pump alternator and air conditioning compressor as a Harrison radiator pairs with a single engine-driven fan to keep the big V8 cool. The car fires to life with ease and sends spent gases out through an elaborate exhaust system that utilizes a crossover tube to connect the driver side manifold to the passenger side. From there a single pipe leads to the catalytic converter followed by a Y-pipe with twin resonators and splitter tips.
Underneath the car a road-ready chassis visually confirms the car's limited mileage while hosting a mile-long list of original parts. As a 403 bird there was only one option for shifting – the trusty TH350 3-speed automatic. This one wears a matching 29N127441 partial VIN to let you know it's original to the car. From the transmission power is sent down the driveshaft to the original 10-bolt rear end equipped with posi-traction and highway-friendly 2.73 gears. Around that rock solid powertrain a full WS6 suspension which includes power steering thick front and rear sway bars better shocks and stiffer springs combines with power disc brakes all around to provide quick stops and great handling. At the corners of the car original SE-exclusive gold Pontiac snowflake wheels are accented by 'gold bird' center caps and a set of 225/75R15 Uniroyal radials just like the factory installed.
Behind the Trans Am's massive black doors you'll find a well-preserved optional velour interior. The car's seats are firm crisp and look every bit as rich as their velour name implies. Below those seats like-new black carpet which is carefully protected by factory replacement floor mats displays no fading or unraveling. Between the seats a silver trimmed console makes rook for the shifter and little else. At the top of the car a stain-free headliner is stretched tight around the car's signature T-tops. At the sides pitch black door panels hang pristine pull straps and new chrome door handles below Special Edition exclusive gold badging. In front of the driver an excellent looking engine turned gold dash houses crystal clear Rally gauges controls for heat and air conditioning and the car's original Delco-GM AM/FM stereo behind a gold Formula steering wheel. Behind the cockpit the trunk space remains showroom fresh labeled with correct decals storage bags for the cars T-tops and a Space Saver spare tire.
Documentation for this SE includes historical documents from PHS as well as original items such as the owner's manual warranty pamphlet maintenance schedule and Uniroyal tire information.
With a numbers matching drivetrain an all original interior and largely original paintwork finding a more authentic T/A would be difficult – especially a Y84 car. Factor in the great options list the car's 16223-mile survivor status and the late-70s swagger that only a Trans Am can offer and you have a truly special cruiser up for grabs. If you're ready to put a premium Poncho in your collection don't miss the chance to make this 1979 Trans Am SE yours today!

Summertime is insect time. Unfortunately, stinging and biting species such as wasps and mosquitoes get most of our attention for all the wrong reasons. Many insects are beneficial, and most are benign.
My favorite summer insects are hummingbird moths. I know they have begun to emerge because digital images from readers arrive almost daily.
Hummingbird moths are fuzzy bee mimics. They have antenna and a long proboscis, and they hover at flowers while sipping nectar, just like hummingbirds. But their antennae make them insects.
Clearwing hummingbird moths are among the smallest and most common of these fascinating insects. Approach slowly and observe carefully to see the proboscis uncoil as the moth approaches a flower to nectar. The transparent wings will be obvious.
Another common hummingbird moth is known by the name of its caterpillar and is probably most familiar to gardeners. Tomato hornworms are fat, green, fleshy caterpillars that eat tomatoes and their leaves, and eventually transform into five-spotted hawk-moths.
Sometimes hornworms are covered with tiny white capsules. These are pupal cases of tiny wasps that parasitized the caterpillars. By the time the wasps pupate, the hornworm will be dead. The larval wasps consumed the hornworm from the inside before emerging to pupate.
Butterflies are best known for their grace and beauty. Tiger swallowtails and fritillaries are abundant this summer, but I have yet to see a single monarch. Heat, drought and herbicides destroy milkweed plants in the Plains and Midwest, and monarch need milkweeds. Milkweeds are their only host plant.
Fireflies or lightning bugs evoke fond memories in anyone raised in the country. At dusk they emerge and light the backyard with their Morse code flashes of bioluminescence. The darker the night, the more impressive the show.
Fireflies flash to attract mates. Each species has a unique flash pattern. At dusk, males take flight and begin flashing. When a female of the same species recognizes the appropriate pattern, she flashes back in recognition. Ultimately the male finds the female, and the pair mates.
This communication system is easy to test. Study the flash patterns of the fireflies in your backyard. Mimic the female's pattern (the one in the grass) with a flashlight and see if a male approaches in search of a receptive female.

In every human being there is some hidden talent. I'm 22 years old, I haven't realized my talent yet. How do I know what I am good at?
Sri Sri: Best is that you acquire all skills. Whatever you excel at becomes your main skill. Other skills are added on. It's okay to be Jack of all trades to begin with, then you get a taste of things, and whatever clicks, you go with that. Don't sit and wait for some skill to pop up one day – like a mushroom. In fact, you should excel in every field. That's what I aimed at. You should be good in cooking, cleaning, art, talking, writing – take interest in all fields, and then something will come out of it.
I always get confused in everything. Please tell me what to do.
Sri Sri: Give a pat on your back. Whenever you get confused, it means an old pattern is breaking, and something new is happening. Listen, you can't be confused in everything. You know you have to have dinner – are you confused about that? You know when you have to come for satsang.Confusion is when you want more joy, and are not happy with what you have.A bird in hand is worth two in a bush – be happy with what you have.If confusion steps in a short while, it should be welcomed. But if it remains perpetually, take an attitude about it.
What makes a person truly secure?
Sri Sri: Faith in one's abilities, and faith in the righteousness of the laws of nature. Have faith that you are supported by nature. And you will succeed. If you fail ten times, you will get success the eleventh time. You must have this faith. This comes by conviction, not any practice. You should say, 'I will succeed, I refuse to accept failure.'
I have lost someone very close to me. This troubles me. I want to know where he is?
Sri Sri: He is in a good place, a safe place, a place where all of us will be going. He got advance booking, and so earlier. Know that it's a place which is everywhere. Our mind is alike electromagnetic waves. When you're watching a channel, and change the channel, where did the previous one go? It didn't go anywhere. It's still there, but you are able to concentrate on only one.Our body is like the television box, and the spirit is like the wave. When the body is gone, the waves will remain. Our access to a person who is close to you is when you meditate. The vibrations bring some coolness, and solace to the person on the other side also.
Is leadership in the Art of Living based on seniority or spiritual evolvement?
Sri Sri: There is chaos and bliss here! Everyone is welcome to contribute to the organization's growth, and grown himself. The Art of Living has one policy: we don't reject anybody. We carry everyone along with us. That is a very tough job. There are hundreds of challenges.The human mind is like the wild elephant – its makes all sorts of concepts, and ideals. People who don't work have great ideals. When they start work, they realize that many ideals don't work.On the other side, there are people who have no ideals, and go with the chaos. Both approaches are wrong. If you drop ideals completely, organizations become hopeless. However if you don't see practicality, and don't have a foot on the ground, you cannot perform a dance. If your feet are buried in the ground, can you dance? If your legs are not on the ground, can you dance? You have to have a foot on the ground. Life is about balance.Life is complex, and the world is full of complexities. Many complexities will arise. What you need to take care is not to get frustrated, and deal with them. We have to. Conflicts, and complexities are everywhere - in bureaucracies, political parties, social organizations, NGOs, schools, colleges, everywhere. Even in a house, there could be so many complex behavioral patterns. Yet, rejection is not the way, frustration won't lead you anywhere. That is the skill you need to acquire. Skill will help you move through sleeping elephants. A saint from India once said: You have to walk through sleeping elephants. When wild elephants are awake, you can't walk.How do you get the skill? Silence is the mother of all skills. When you lack some skill, sit quietly for a moment. Then that part of the brain becomes active, that can give you intuition and ideas.Silence is the mother of all skills, innovations, and inventions. A few moments of quietness. This is the first step. Take a step away from the situation. When you are in a situation, you cannot be a good judge – you have to step out of the situation for a minute and look at it. Through quietness: you will gain the skill right there!We need to get out of the blame game. If anything goes wrong, you either blame others or yourself. This tendency is so deep in our psyche. Silence gives the skill to see the distance. This principle and philosophy has been developed in this country. However, it has been kept only with a few select people. That is why spirituality should be kept alive in every part of the world, so that everyone can gain skill with ease, and grace. This is the main advantage of meditation practices: it enables you to handle situations with ease and grace. A few moments of silence will bring up tremendous talents from within us.However, if someone practices too much silence, then also they lose their skills.Ati sarvatra varjayet – drop anything that is too much. Avoid extremes.(A member from the audience says: If the bliss and happiness felt here (in the ashram) could spread all over the world, there would be no violence in the world.)Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Absolutely. That's why you should come here, and spread the word, like sahasra sesha. Each one should inspire at least 1,000 people. Have the intention of bringing knowledge, joy, love, and happiness to the lives of 1,000 people. This is real merit.Good luck does not come by lucky charms. It comes from good work. Good deed is to bring happiness into the lives of people. This is the best way. I have seen that. So bring this joy, solace, and happiness in people's lives. When the hearts and minds of people get healed, their spirit blesses you. That becomes your real merit, good luck.
Where are Shiva and Krishna (Hindu Gods)?
Sri Sri: Shiva, Krishna is in everyone of us. Krishna is a tatva – celebration, joy, love, mischief. Everything that is inside you, inside me.In the Bhagvad Gita, Krishna says:Yo mām paśyati sarvatra sarvam ca mayi paśyatitasyāham na pranaśyami sa ca me na pranaśyatiKrishna says, "One who sees me in everything and one who sees everyone in me, I will never be out of sight for such a person."That what you all are going to do – dive into that inner space.Shiva and Krishna are different aspects of the One jyoti (flame), one aspect.
What is Art of Living doing in the Islamic world?
Sri Sri: Islamic world is an integral part of the Art of Living family – we have projects in Iraq, Pakistan, and Turkey too. The responsibility is much more on all of you who are coming from the Islamic world to educate people in inter-disciplinary, inter-faith knowledge.We must move from extremism, and fanaticism to the center – change the image of countries like Lebanon, and Afghanistan from being war zones to places of peace.

Video: Speak & Spell boombox mod
CNET Senior editor shows off his modified Speak & Spell portable speaker system.
This whole thing started weeks ago when fellow Craver Tim Moynihan posted a story on a vintage NES game controller and cartridge that had been modded into an MP3 player and portable speaker. Not to be outdone, I realized that my homebrew MP3 player, the Little Professor, needed an equally nostalgic portable speaker system. A quick look through my closet produced the most worthy candidate imaginable--a malfunctioning vintage Texas Instruments Speak & Spell, manufactured the same year as the Little Professor--the year of my birth, 1978. Excellent.
Transforming the Speak & Spell into a portable speaker system wasn't nearly as elegant as I had hoped, but by performing a quick and dirty transplant of the broken Speak & Spell guts with an eviscerated iMainGo iPod speaker system, I was able to get a kick-ass system in just a few hours.
Here's a slide show of the Speak & Spell surgery.

Bank of America's debit card fees draw petition
NEW YORK (AP) - Bank of America customers had problems accessing their accounts for six days. After the site appeared back to normal Wednesday, the bank attributed the troubles largely to a system upgrade.
The problems began a day after the company said it would start charging a $5 monthly debit card fee. That announcement Thursday was met with customer outrage; an online petition at Change.org asking the bank to reconsider the decision had more than 132,500 signatures by Wednesday afternoon.
Several major banks have introduced new or higher fees for checking account customers in the past year. The industry says the changes are needed because of a new regulation that limits the fees they can collect from merchants whenever customers swipe their debit cards.
David Owen, who heads online and mobile banking at Bank of America, said the slowness and time-outs customers experienced were the result of a "multi-year project" to upgrade its online banking platform.
He said that the testing of certain features and high traffic at the end of the month also contributed to the delays.
"That convergence created slowness across the platforms," Owen said.
When the problems first surfaced Friday morning, Owen said the bank cast a "wide net" and worked with law enforcement officials to quickly rule out the possibility of third-party interference. In the meantime, the bank said publicly Friday and afterward that it does not break out causes for website problems.
Bank of America Corp., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the largest U.S. bank by deposits and has 29 million online customers.
The website delays meant some customers who normally bank online have had to go to branches or ATMs to access their accounts in recent days.
Owen said the company was about 60 percent through the upgrade and didn't rule out the possibility of site problems in the future.
"As far as when we declare this over, we're taking it day by day," he said. "But right now it's business as usual."
The upgrade is intended to improve the look and navigation of the site, Owen said. He said all customers can see at least part of the improvements.
Bank of America customers also had difficulty accessing their accounts in January and March. The company said in both cases that the problems resulted from routine system upgrades.
The latest outage was significant for its duration.
Shawn White, vice president of Keynote Systems Inc., which monitors the performance of company websites, noted that banks have invested heavily in promoting the convenience and safety of their online services. He said the length of Bank of America's outage could seriously damage its customers' confidence in the company.
When outages occur, companies need at least to keep customers updated, said Jacob Jegher, an online banking analyst with research firm Celent. That's especially true for banks because of the sensitive nature of the information they handle, he said.
Even if the bank doesn't give an explicit reason for the outage, Jegher said that companies' participation in social media has led customers to expect a greater level of communication.
"We're in an environment now where electronic banking is a mainstream channel," he said. "Any extended outage is unacceptable - particularly for a bank with this many customers."
