Video streaming via services like Netflix and Vudu may be easy, cheap and ubiquitous, but disc-based movie servers have the clear edge in terms of video and audio quality. Plus, you get to watch your movies, not just the poor selection the streaming service offers.
However, movie servers can be expensive—very expensive compared to a Roku or Apple TV. Fusion Research just announced a new movie server the company says "breaks price barriers." It does that, and while $2,995 may still seem steep, it's a big drop from the $20K that some other products cost.
The new product, called the Premiere, has enough storage space (1.5 TB) for about 225 DVDs or 45 Blu-ray discs. Users can add a NAS drives (which tend to be cheaper than a proprietary expansion drive) to expand storage. A $495 licensing fee is required for the software that allows the server to communicate with the external NAS.
Fusion's EPIC platform allows for easy organization and navigation of movie collections.
A system called EasyLoad copies any movie inserted into the server then locates the cover art and metadata.
If you want to expand your Fusion Premiere experience to one additional room you can add a Fusion Zone Player for $1,495.
Fusion servers are Control4 certified so they can be easily integrated in to a Control4control home system.

Pale yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, the initial notes of fresh almond and grapefruit gradually lead into cashew nut and spices complemented by lightly toasted brioche. On the palate, texture unfurls on the palate, embracing and caressing it. Momentary weightlessness with a vibrating finish arouses the taste buds with controlled ardor. The persistence is remarkable, with the slightest undertone of tartness (citrus zest and buds.)
The Dom Pérignon Vintage 1998 has a special way of holding its final note on and on. It's as if it doesn't want to let go. It's surprising, unique and magnicent.
"This is a wine that thrives on tension between its structure, opulence, elegance and poise. It is certainly ripe and opulent, but it is so well balanced and layered with acidity, and flavors of almonds, orange peel and kiwi fruits. It will certainly age." 95 Points Wine Enthusiast
"This young wine has a potent mousse and equally brisk acidity. Its flavors are bright white, from chalk to fresh cream; they take some time to meld with the vibrant structure, coming together with air, lithe and refined. Richness develops in scents of brioche, mouthwatering with a fat Belon oyster, built to age." 94 Points Wine & Spirits
"Pale yellow. An enticing blend of red berries, butter and toast on the nose; this settled down to an earthy, smoky character that reminded me of Batard-Montrachet. Full and rich, with flavors of musky yellow plum and ripe pear accented by crisp mineral notes. Really long and vibrant on the building finish, if not as precise or elegant as the 1996. Still, of the two vintages, this is the one I would prefer to drink over the next five or years or so." 93 Points International Wine Cellar
"The 1998 Dom Perignon comes across as somewhat two–dimensional and lacking the sheer cut of the 2000. There is plenty of ripeness in the fruit, but not quite the definition and verve of the finest vintages. This looks to be a relatively early-drinking Dom Perignon. Geoffroy adds that the estate may have waited a bit too long to pick certain parcels in 1998." 92 Points The Wine Advocate
Dom Perignon, a seventeeth-century cellarmaster of the Abbey of Hautvillers, is revered as the spiritual father of winemaking in the Champagne region. Keen observation, respect for nature, pragmatic creativity, technical innovation, the courage of his convictions, and patience were the instruments serving his vision. He constantly mastered and incorporated all its components and...Read More About Dom Perignon
Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne...Read More About Champagne
Vintage Champagne and Sparkling Wines Vintage Champagne is made in particularly good years with optimum weather and the best grape selection. Some houses, like Dom Perignon, only make vintage Champagne, so they do not produce a wine every year and have no non-vintage bottlings. What makes vintage Champagne better? Well, status for one - many vintage Champagnes are...Read More About Vintage

This year 2012 hasn't been mystically wrapped for no reason. No matter what the skeptics are saying, 2012 holds a very powerful transformative energy. The next 350 days are offered to us so that we can truly experience our Truth and be supported unconditionally by the universal vibes.
5 Top Secret Insights To Make 2012 Awesome
Our journey and therefore, our work is to be conscious about our emotions, choices, dreams and desires. There is a path less frequented. There is a road less taken. There is a way more powerful, creative and enjoyable than what we have collectively experienced and here are 5 insights to lead you on it.
We have been programmed to care for others and bring charity when our eyes see needs so that it makes us feel good. While this is a truth, it cannot be complete unless we are being fulfilled ourselves. One cannot give to another what one doesn't give to oneself. The best way to give appropriately to someone is to have found a way to give to ourselves too. Sacrifice isn't demanded nor even required. Learning is. Learn to give to yourself so that when it is time to give to another, you know what giving truly means.
What we see and identify in the world is nothing more or less than we are holding within our own self. Wherever you recognize disharmony in the world is vibrating a disharmonious inner-chord. Your best contribution to world peace is to work at discovering and maintaining harmony within yourself.
Many people in need for power and most of them will try to reach for leadership positions. Power implies responsibility and the first responsibility each individual has is his/her own choice. A leader is one who has understood the principles of humility, gratitude and Kindness. These aren't taught as school and these won't be given by chance. They are learned through the walk that one take in the journey of self-responsibility and greatness.
We all wish for financial freedom. A space where our abundance and prosperity are found through experiencing without holding back all that we wish to experience. Financial freedom is a concept of the mind that is seeded within the soul. It is self-worth that determines most of it. Financial prosperity can simply not be actualized unless self-worthiness is realized.
The sense of value about yourself is the determinant factor to your ability to create abundance. Start with you from where you believe you are and build a stronger You by investing in You.
A life worth living is a life consciously lived. Anyone given the gift of a Life has also been given the gift of a destiny. Something that inspires the mind and awakens the soul. This something gives us a sense of purpose and this sense of purpose gives us clarity on the path to walk and the choices to make. Take some time to clarify your purpose, determine your strength, identify your vulnerability and reveal your sense of destiny.

Exceded ExpectationsPros: Thin with great color. I am impressed with it every day. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice monitorPros: Just arrived on my doorstep, and took about 2 minutes to hook up (including installing the stand). Very nice, light-weight, and stylish. Cons: As mentioned in lots of other reviews (so no eggs dinked), the stand just feels really flimsy and very wobbly. Ideally, I think I may order a second one and put these on a dual-monitor, VESA mount, stand and that should solve that issue. Other Thoughts: The brightness was set for 100% out of the box. After cranking that down to 50% the image is much easier on the eyes. I just turned this on, so not much more to say yet...so far so good! :-) Did you find this review helpful? |
No issues, good pricePros: No dead pixels, but those are mostly chance anyway on any monitor. Worked out of box, drivers were easy, solid performance, size. No issues with gaming on higher resolutions, keeps pace. Take 5 minutes and look up how to compare monitors if you don't know. Cons: None, I got exactly what I thought I was buying. Other Thoughts: Do your research. Contrast ratios are asinine and not worth reading on monitors. Read the cons in reviews and note that stuff like dead pixels are random and fairly uncontrollable. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Deal (When it's on sale)Pros: You get what you pay for, it is not a powerhouse and it will not blow your mind but when you can get a good size led backlit monitor for well under $200 it is worth it. I am please with it and it will get the job done until I decide to jump up to 27" Cons: The stand is a little to shaky for my liking, a step up in quality on that part would make a big difference. Also it is kind of dull for an led backlit monitor (yes I adjusted all of my settings) and compared to the performance I got from my previous 21" LCD it wasn't really worth the upgrade, but like I said when you can it at a good price there isn't a whole lot to complain about. Did you find this review helpful? |
perfectPros: Brilliant display easy setup and great menu options Cons: none Other Thoughts: I got this on sale for black Friday, freaking awesome! Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice monitorPros: -Good price I got it black friday for 179.99 Cons: -No DVI cable. (I was surprised, they are generally standard on monitors, especially in this price range.) Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Monitor for the pricePros: Very nice picture on it - everything comes out clear. Cons: Wish I would have read the description better - this monitor does not have speakers on it. Other Thoughts: I was going to use it as a make-shift TV for my bedroom until I get my desktop fixed, but I plugged it in only to find out it doesn't have internal speakers. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Picture, But Stand unstablePros: Nice size and picture for price and plenty of inputs for optional hookup to PC. Still good deal for size and price! Cons: Stand is really cheap plastic and not very stable. If you touch it, its like a bobble head monitor :-). Other Thoughts: LG needs to solve this problem in new design and maybe offer a way to stabalize it. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
SO DOPEPros: Really good clarity compared to most on the market. hdmi is convenient for all sorts of accessories. very bright display. Cons: none what so ever Other Thoughts: Totally worth the money id recommend this monitor to any gamer. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great!!Pros: Bright, thin profile, great layout, easy menu options. Cons: The base, very flimsy, and the power button is in a weird area I hit my finger on it now and again easily turning the monitor off. Did you find this review helpful? |

This assures players that even if they make a mistake and hit the ball on the wrong spot of the bat within 100 days of the purchase, BamBooBat will pay for the mistake with a new bat!

BamBooBats are made with a beautiful high gloss lacquer finish on all models. BamBooBat: Go Green, Save the Earth. Free Shipping!

Former professional football player admits failing
to file five years of taxes on $9.2 million in nFL pay
May 23, 2012 |
CAMDEN, N.J. – A former professional football player admitted today that he intentionally failed to file federal income tax returns on his NFL salary for tax years 2005 through 2009, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
William James, 32, of Woodland Park, N.J., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle to an Information charging him with willful failure to file tax returns.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
James played professional football from 2001 to 2010, playing for the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers. He earned approximately $9.2 million from the teams in tax years 2005 through 2009.
Between 2005 and 2008, James' financial advisor and accountant repeatedly advised him by telephone, in person, and in writing that he was obligated to file income tax returns and asked him to send information required for preparing and filing them. James ignored the advice, even falsely telling his advisors he had sent the necessary information. James admitted today that he failed to send the items requested to prepare returns on his behalf.
IRS employees wrote certified letters to James and visited his Passaic County home several times between March 2008 and August 2009 to hand-deliver such notices and to advise him of his tax obligations. Between March 2007 and December 2009, the IRS also sent approximately 20 automated notices to James, at least one of which he passed to his accountant, who advised James in writing of his obligation to file tax returns and that the accountant needed additional information to prepare the returns. James ignored the notices and his accountant's instructions.
James admitted that by August 2010, he had not filed any of his tax returns for tax years 2005 through 2009.
The charge to which James pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine, or twice the gain resulting from the offense or twice the loss to any victim. Sentencing is currently scheduled for Sept. 21, 2012.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge JoAnn S. Zuniga, for their work in the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth Kosto of the U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crimes Unit in Newark and Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick C. Askin of the U.S. Attorney's office in Camden.

This type of worm is embedded in an e-mail attachment, and spreads using the infected computer's e-mailing networks.
Disinfection & Removal
Allow F-Secure Anti-Virus to disinfect the relevant files. For more general information on disinfection, please see Removal Instructions.
Technical Details
Email-Worm:W32/Zafi.D distributes copies of its worm code in an e-mail file attachment. Unlike the first Zafi.A variant, Zafi.D uses e-mail messages that are in English, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and several other languages. The e-mails contain Christmas wish messages. The attachments are files that use PIF, CMD, BAT, COM or ZIP extensions. If executed, the worm can display a decoy message in a message box saying:
- "Error in packed file!"
The worm code itself is in FSG! packed form 11745 bytes in size. The body unpacks to around 30 KiB of hand-written assembly code.
When Zafi.D is started it copies itself to the Windows System Directory with a random .DLL name and "Norton Update.exe". The .EXE file is added to the registry key
- [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Wxp4" = "%System%\Norton Update.exe"
Zafi.D also creates a mutex named "Wxp4" to make sure only one copy of the worm is run at any one time. Several additional files are created in the System Directory with random names and the .DLL extension. The worm keeps its internal data in those. Zafi.D enumerates all the directories in the system and copies itself to the ones that contain 'share', 'upload' or 'music' in their name, using the file names "winamp 5.7 new!.exe" or "ICQ 2005a new!.exe".
Zafi.D terminates any application that has the words 'firewall' or 'virus' in it. These files are overwritten with a copy of the worm. Several Windows tools, like Task Manager, Registry Editor are disabled when the worm is active. Zafi.D opens these files with exclusive locking to prevent anything else from opening them. Zafi.D has a backdoor that listens on port 8181. The worm can upload and execute file using the backdoor.
Zafi.D looks into the Windows Address Book and different files and tries to gather all e-mail addresses listed. Files with the following extensions are checked:
- htm
- wab
- txt
- dbx
- tbb
- asp
- php
- sht
- adb
- mbx
- eml
- pmr
- fpt
- inb
Using its own SMTP engine the worm sends messages to the harvested e-mail addresses, with its infectious code attached. The messages can be n many different languages. It can use different SMTP relays for sending its messages depending on the language. For email addresses in the following country domains, the worms sends messages in the respective country's language:
- .hu - Hungarian
- .sp
- .ru - Russian
- .dk - Danish
- .ro - Romanian
- .se - Swedish
- .no - Norwegian
- .fi - Finnish
- .lt - Lithuanian
- .pl - Polish
- .pt - Portuguese
- .de - German
- .nl - Dutch
- cz - Czech
- .fr - French
- .it - Italian
- .mx - Mexican
- .at - Austrian
- .es - Spanish
The message is a simple christmas wish. Following text is an example of english message:
- Sender: Pamela M. Subject: Merry Christmas! Happy HollyDays! :) [Sender]
The Sender name is used as a fallback if the email address doesn't have it. Other language versions are as follows
- Sender: T. Maria Subject: boldog karacsony... Kellemes Unnepeket! :) [Sender]
- Sender: N. Fernandez Subject: Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! :) [Sender]
- Sender: V. Tatyana Subject: ecard.ru :) [Sender]
- Sender: V. Jensen Subject: Christmas Kort! Glaedelig Jul! :) [Sender]
- Sender: J. Andersson Subject: Christmas Vykort! God Jul! :) [Sender]
- Sender: M. Emma Subject: Christmas Postkort! God Jul! :) [Sender]
- Sender: M. Virtanen Subject: Christmas postikorti! Iloista Joulua! :) [Sender]
- Sender: C. Lina Subject: Christmas Atviruka! Naulieji Metai! :) [Sender]

- Sender: J. Martin Subject: Joyeux Noel! Joyeux Noel! :) [Sender]
- Sender: T. Antonio Subject: Buon Natale! Buon Natale! :) [Sender]
The worm includes a small visible gif attachement in the messages. The actual worm attachment name is composed of several parts:
- The word "postcard" in the respective language
- Random numbers
- Some of the extensions .pif, .cmd, .bat, .com or .zip.
Sometimes the filename can start with "link", "christmas" or "index".
The worm does not send emails to addresses that contain any of these strings:
- yaho
- win
- use
- info
- help
- admi
- webm
- micro
- msn
- hotm
- suppor
- syman

Looks like I was wrong about the Davis Cup taking it this week. Hung in at third place, the tail end of the same top three we had last week. This is the weekend for international tennis action at the Erwin Center, and there's still time to get tickets for the big show. Davis Cup ends up the only sporting event on the countdown this week as we're in a bit of a dry spot before football season really gears up.
Climbing up to the fourth spot is Katy Perry, who is joined by Selena Gomez to round out the top five. Quite a bit of pop on the countdown. U2 provides a bit more rock flavor, and ACL returns to the list. ACL is still comfortably far away but prices will likely only rise as we get closer to the event.
Britney adds more pop to the list as she returns at number eight. The countdown does a couple hard turns at the end there, swinging way beyond pop with Mötley Crüe, who are celebrating 30 years of heavy metal and gratuitous umlauts in 2011. Finally, Adele's soulful voice is getting ready to return to touring after taking a break due to a case of laryngitis.

She also appeared in the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 editions.[1] In addition to working with world class photographers on her Sports Illustrated shoots, she was the object/subject of Joanne Gair's body painting work.[3]

Other ventures[edit]
In 2005, Němcová released her autobiography Love Always, Petra (ISBN 0446579130) published December 2005, which tells of her early life under Communist rule in Czechoslovakia, her entrance into the field of fashion and modeling, and her breakthrough into Sports Illustrated, which was her springboard to becoming a supermodel. She also tells of her life with Simon Atlee and how they fell in love and became engaged to marry.
In 2008, Němcová partnered with New York agency Aglow Properties to sell two apartments around the $25 million mark.[8]
Personal life[edit]
Němcová is multilingual and speaks Czech, Slovak, Polish, English, French and Italian. In December 2010, she became engaged to English actor Jamie Belman.[9] In April 2012, it was announced that Němcová and Belman had ended their engagement.[10] On 2 May 2013 in an interview with Ticket Magazine, Haiti's prime Minister Laurent Lamothe confirmed that he and Němcová are a couple.[11]
In February 2007, Němcová became a vegan and gave up meat and dairy.
2004 tsunami[edit]
During the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, Němcová was at the Khao Lak resort in Thailand with her main photographer and fiancé, Simon Atlee, when the tsunami struck where they were staying. Initially, Atlee was presumed missing, but his body was found and identified on 3 March 2005, on the shores of Sumatra (near the epicenter of the earthquake that caused the tsunami).[citation needed]
Atlee had drowned, and Němcová suffered a broken pelvis and serious internal injuries, but she managed to hold onto the top of a palm tree, reportedly for eight hours, until she was rescued by Thai civilians and airlifted to an inland hospital nearby.[12] Němcová spent three weeks in a Thai hospital, and then flew home to the Czech Republic, where she spent an additional three weeks in the hospital. Němcová's first interview after her near-death experience was with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Primetime Live, on 9 March 2005. She has also spoken of her experiences on the Larry King Live program on CNN.
In 2005, Němcová created the Happy Hearts Fund (HHF), a charitable organization and campaign formed after her survival and recovery from the Tsunami of 2004. When Němcová returned to Thailand a few months after the tsunami, she witnessed families without homes, children without parents and entire communities swept away. She was most affected by the children and sought to figure out a way to help them rebuild their lives and bring back hope and opportunity. Unsatisfied with the response of organizations that were unable to specify which children, or even which country, would benefit, Němcová set out to create her own entity and structured it so that all administrative costs would be underwritten, thereby ensuring that 100% of all donations received would be directed to children's programming.[13] She also helped in the recovery efforts of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with HHF.
On 12 November 2007 Němcová visited Haiti alongside Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean as part of a charity-sponsored event. The inauguration of a computer lab and an eatery in the slums of Port-au-Prince were funded and sponsored by Jean's Yéle Haïti Foundation and Němcová's Happy Hearts Fund.[14]
On 15 December 2009, Němcová and HHF Executive Director Phillip Caputo launched the "Bring Happiness Back!" campaign at the United Nations to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami. That same day, Němcová and Caputo also participated in the closing bell ceremonies at NASDAQ where the "Bring Happiness Back!" Campaign was also highlighted.[15]
In 2008 she went with Happy Hearts Fund to Peru to help children who were affected by the 2007 Peru earthquake.
In June 2012, she was designated in a private ceremony by president of Haiti, Michel Martelly and Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe as Ambassador-at-Large for Haiti for her work with Happy Hearts Fund.[16]
Glamour magazine awarded Němcová a "Survivor Award" in 2005 for her charity work following her tsunami ordeal.
In November 2011, Němcová was appointed as Honorary Consul from the Czech Republic to Haiti by the government of Haiti.
Němcová is a supporter of the NY- and DC-based nonprofit Only Make Believe. Only Make Believe is a 501(c)(3) organization that creates and performs interactive plays in children's hospitals and care facilities. In 2012, Němcová acted as the face of Only Make Believe in lighting the Empire State Building and received the James Hammerstein Award, for her outstanding dedication to children in need, at the 2012 "Make Believe on Broadway" Gala. She also acted as the Celebrity Ambassador for Only Make Believe at Bloomberg Tradebook's 2nd Annual Charity Day.[citation needed]

Forums >Racing>After a (first) marathon
How about after the marathon? Should I stay in Susanville that night or try to drive back to the Bay Area and play? How am I gonna feel?
If ye like the nut, crack it.
Going downstairs won't be much fun for a couple of days.
Now why do we run marathons again?
A Dance with Monkeys
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Too little, too late. Get in the car, go to San Fran and have a blast. Just stop often and get out of the car and stretch. Why spend the night in the hotel? Sheesh, it takes 24-48 hours before the pain really sets in.

The Right Honourable John Enoch Powell MBE (June 16, 1912 February 8, 1998) was a British politician. Controversial throughout his career, his tenure in senior office was brief; however, his skills as a polemicist and orator gained significant public support for his controversial views on issues such as immigration and the United Kingdom's entry into the European Union, sparking national debates which continue to this day.

An overall good product for the price offered on fragranceX. One thing I want to point out is that when you initially spray this on it does not smell too good and is very overpowering. About half an hour later the intensity goes down and has a nice spicy scent. This would not be my frangrance of preference if I had the choice but it is certainly worth trying.

Comments about Ungaro Iii Cologne:
At first I bought this along side another more sporty cologne which was my favorite. I tried this a few times and it was more strong than I like, at first, so I stopped using it. Once I was done with my cologne I started using it again to smell good. I realized Its strong at first but It changes in aromas. I tend to smell my wrists later on to get a smell of it. Great Cologne. Lasts all day.

An important federal appeals court has determined that a Connecticut court has jurisdiction over a Canadian citizen whose only act in Connecticut was accessing information on a computer server located in Connecticut. In MacDermid, Inc. v. Deiter, 702 F.3d 72 (Dec. 26. 2012), a Connecticut-based company, MacDermid, Inc., sued its former employee, Deiter, a Canadian citizen who worked from Canada, in federal court in Connecticut for misappropriation of MacDermid's trade secrets. MacDermid alleged that Deiter sent confidential company information from her company email account to her personal email account. The lower court dismissed the case, saying that Connecticut courts did not have jurisdiction over Deiter because she never set foot in Connecticut and only used a computer terminal in Canada. MacDermid appealed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York, reversed, holding that it was proper for a Connecticut court to exercise personal jurisdiction over a Canadian employee of a Connecticut company because, even though she was located in Canada and physically interacted only with a computer in Canada, she "used" a server in Connecticut.

The recent experience of the passengers the Carnival Triumph debacle once again raises the question of remedies sought and available for cruise passengers who suffer harms while at sea. As with the Costa Concordia shipwreck a year ago, and with most hospitality-related providers, there are limitations on how and what guests can recover. Forum selection clauses, of a similar type to what most of our clients use, frequently limit where suits can be brought. For cruise passengers, who frequently travel from another location to the port city, the limitation on permissible fora can be an insurmountable hurdle to bringing suit. For the passengers on the Triumph, any claims face the additional obstacle that recoveries are likely limited to only those individuals who suffered some physical harm as a result of the incident.
These limitations are once again causing outrage among some who believe that the recourse of cruise passengers is too limited. But before jumping on that bandwagon, it is important to consider the consequences of opening the floodgates to more claims. For example, invalidating the forum selection clauses on cruise ship agreements could also open up hospitality providers like ski resorts or amusement parks, to claims far outside their operating jurisdictions.
Extending the ability of a party to recover damages for emotional "injuries" without any physical harm could also dramatically change the legal landscape. Would that allow individuals who claim to receive a "bad" dinner or view an "offensive" show the ability to recover damages for their claimed emotional injuries even without a physical harm? Even with limitations for only egregious conduct, the implications could be far-reaching for those throughout the hospitality industry and beyond.
It seems as though Carnival is attempting to thwart the legal onslaught, and possibly the push for legal changes, by offering full refunds to passengers plus cash and a voucher for future travel. We will see if it is enough. In the meantime, I wonder if those vouchers are transferrable?

What does Rocky Mariciano, one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, have to do with evidentiary privileges? Plenty, as it turns out, for it was a libel case arising from Mariciano's comments following his famous 1952 fight against Jersey Joe Walcott that solidified the then-evolving theory that the government-information privilege applies in civil actions.

With the start of the holiday shopping rush just a week away, retailers should be mindful of their responsibility to keep customers safe when large crowds gather to take advantage of well-advertised and highly-anticipated sales. Customers, drawn by the promise of "doorbuster savings" and warned of limited quantities, do not always act in the most courteous manner when rushing to enter the store and running toward the products they desire. Sadly, it has become all too common for injury, whether accidental or intentional, to occur as customers dash into and through stores during these special sales, and when a customer is injured during the clamor, a retailer can be held liable.

On Tuesday October 30th, the NCAA Board of Directors announced the adoption of a new enforcement structure that, among other things, creates additional levels of infractions, enhances accountability for head coaches, and seeks to punish violators with sanctions that more appropriately align with the actions that occurred. The most striking of these new initiatives, to be implemented beginning in August of 2013, is the creation of the new four-tiered structure for violation classification.
Under the current model, violations are classified as either major or secondary. The new system sets forth violations as follows: Level I, Severe breach of conduct; Level II, Significant breach of conduct; Level III, Breach of conduct; and Level IV, Incidental issues. A copy of the NCAA's press release may be found here. This new structure is the product of a year-long effort by the thirteen-member Board comprised of presidents, athletic directors, and conference commissioners. President Mark Emmert described the changes as part of a devotion to "protecting the collegiate model," in part by "remov[ing] the 'risk-reward' analysis that has tempted people." These changes come on the heels of increasing external pressure for a more consistent and transparent process, with a number of major infractions cases serving as the backdrop for this magnified criticism. Greater accountability and stricter sanctions is undoubtedly a step in the right direction when it comes to enforcement of what would be considered major infractions under the current framework. The NCAA should be applauded for taking measures to ensure consequences for coaches who plead ignorance while violations blatantly occur on their watches. But at the same time, the new violation structure is troublesome. Despite admirable efforts to construct a better system, this new four-tiered structure for violation classification fails to ameliorate many of the common concerns expressed with respect to NCAA Bylaws and enforcement of the same. Hopefully, this will be cleared-up with the upcoming changes to the substantive "rules" in the Bylaws. The NCAA Bylaws are often denounced as too lengthy and too complex, and deservedly so. Moving from a two-tiered violation structure to a four-tiered system, if not matched-up with more common sense in rule substance, is an obvious step backward, and is counterintuitive if the desired outcome is a more workable framework. Increased confusion is even more likely when one considers the near endless interpretations that could be attributed to the definitions describing each tier. For example, consider the difference between a violation that "threatens the integrity of the NCAA," versus a violation that merely "provides more than a minimal, but less than a substantial…advantage." One definition classifies a Level I violation, while the other corresponds with Level II, but is there really a difference? The definitions may mean something different to a coach versus someone in compliance at a school or enforcement at the NCAA, so how then is the goal of deterrence met for the problem that President Emmert describes as a calculation of risk vs. reward made by coaches who currently do not have sufficient risk to their livelihoods or respective programs.Under this system, inconsistencies may abound to an even greater degree than under the current model. This is likely to complicate the NCAA's investigative measures, which is problematic given the Association's already limited resources; resources so limited that some have even suggested that the NCAA get out of the enforcement business altogether (for a more in depth discussion of this proposal, see this well-done piece by Attorney Stephen A. Miller, recently published in The Atlantic). Finally, if the NCAA is really student-athlete first, then this measure does nothing to address the countless Bylaws that punish student-athletes for technical violations that provide no competitive advantage, and do little more than burden an already overwhelmed enforcement staff. Again, it is worth pondering, is an "incidental issue" even worth sanctioning? I hope that reforms not just in terms of a scholarship enhancement, but in terms of rules affecting student-athletes' behavior on a day-to-day basis are addressed in the coming months.Since the NCAA has chosen to divert its attention first to the method in which these intricate and often superfluous regulations are classified, my worry is that dealing with the substance later will lead to a continuance in seeing violations shoe-horned into a rigid framework that sometimes, but does not always fit. For those that desire more consistency in results, do you want the NCAA to have something akin to Federal Sentencing Guidelines, or more common sense in results? I am not yet convinced that the new enforcement structure will get us more common sense in results, which many (myself included) would like to see as opposed to more rigidity.Over time, perhaps this will prove to be a positive step toward a streamlined, consistent, and fair process. For now though, a more detailed systemization of the NCAA's enforcement structure only seems to complicate matters further if there is not significant overhaul to the substance of the rules themselves. While my experiences may leave me a bit biased, until we see a comprehensive reassessment of the actual Bylaw language (promised in the next few months), I foresee this self-proclaimed "overhaul" as little more than a re-branding exercise.Originally published on Sportslawblog *Hat tip to Brian Konkel for his work on this piece.

DC Comics has filed a trademark infringement suit against a Florida barbershop owner in federal court. The suit accuses the owners of "Supermen Fades to Fros LLC" of using signs, promotion materials and logos which bear DC Comics' trademarked "Superman" materials.
DC Comics requested that the shop owner cease the use of the marks on multiple occasions without result. DC's complaint notes that "DC has never at any time authorized defendants to utilize the infringing promotions in conjunction with any barbershop business and/or the sale or offer for sale of hair groom services. Defendants' use of the infringing promotions is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake and to deceive as to the affiliation, connection or association of defendants' infringing barbershops with DC."
The complaint also alleges that "Supermen Fades to Fros" shops use barber capes bearing the Superman logo and utilizes Superman imagery for advertisement purposes on the company's website. Aside from trademark infringement in violation of the Lanham Act, the suit also puts forth claims under the Federal Anicybersquatting Consumer Protection Action, and claims for dilution and unfair competition under Florida state and common law.

According to a group of women who filed a lawsuit last week, Maybelline should pay up for making false claims about its "Super Stay" lipstick products. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the complaint seeks declaratory relief and damages under several states' consumer protection laws. From the defense perspective, this is the latest attempt at a "no injury" class action where no actual injuries or damages exist.

On Friday, August 24, a nine member jury entered a verdict in favor of Apple and awarded almost $1.05 billion in damages. Apple filed suit against one of its largest competitors, Samsung Electronics, in April 2011, and alleged that Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets infringed seven of Apple's patents covering the iPhone and iPod products. In turn, Samsung countersued alleging that Apple infringed Samsung's patents covering various wireless software components of its products. After more than a year of highly contentious litigation and following a trial that began at the end of July and lasted the better part of August, the jury deliberated for less than three days before delivering the verdict in favor of Apple.

Apple recently asked a judge hearing a patent infringement case to sanction attorneys for Samsung after those attorneys issued a press release with a link to documents that had been ruled inadmissible. The actual quote from the press release was apparently, ""fundamental fairness requires that the jury decide the case based on all the evidence." Essentially, Samsung's attorneys decided to try the case in the media, as well as in the courtroom. Apple took the position that the press release was an attempt to influence the jury. The attorneys for Samsung argued it was simply a press release. The Judge has indicated additional investigation may take place after the trial, but that he would not allow "theatrics" or "sideshows" (his words, not mine) to interfere with the trial.
