Scarlett Johansson celebrity hacker pleads guilty
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A 35-year-old Florida man pleaded guilty on Monday to hacking into the email accounts of movie stars Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera, and sending nude photos and other information to celebrity websites.
Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida pleaded guilty in Los Angeles federal court to unauthorized computer access, wiretapping and other felony charges contained in a criminal indictment.
He was ordered held in custody and faces up to 60 years in prison, plus fines and restitution of about $2.5 million when sentenced in July.
Chaney, who admitted hacking the emails of more than 50 celebrities, was arrested in October 2011 after an 11-month investigation named "Operation Hackerazzi" by the FBI.
Other victims included former Disney Channel star Vanessa Hudgens and Renee Olstead, one of the stars of ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". Other victims were identified only by their initials, including J.A., B.P., and L.B.
Chaney, a clerical worker, told a Florida TV station shortly after his arrest that he had become addicted to prying into the affairs of movie stars and did not know how to stop.
His snooping resulted in nude photos of "Iron Man 2" star Johansson and a bubblebath picture of "Black Swan" actress Kunis reaching gossip websites.
Johansson said later that the photos of herself topless and wrapped in a towel with an exposed backside were taken for her then husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.
Chaney admitted that he had emailed many of the photographs and other personal information that he stole from celebrities to another hacker and to two entertainment websites. Continued...

Holi Hai!
... Easier said than done. There were loads of people wandering around with varying degrees of colour adorning their clothes and faces, but where could we get involved? Where was the party at? Where could I begin to resemble something a second rate artist on an acid trip would produce? Turns out the bottom of town was the place to be. Literally the bottom of town. This whole place is built on a hill. Not a small incline. ...
Trekking to see Everest and tea plantations
... to be on the train for 23hrs I wanted to be comfortable. Once this was sorted and a few other bits we decided to take a pony from pony point to the tea plantations. This was a bad idea. For some reason I thought the journey would be mostly off-road to a tea plantation but it wasn't and while we rode there the horses kept slipping and needed new shoes as you could hear the double clink of loose shoes.

So i've got 940km on my gixxer and im heading in soon for the service. A couple of questions....
1) Is it ok to go over the 1000km mark by say 100km?
2) My front wheel now squeals when i move it or when I brake. I saw that a patch of the brake disc wasn't oiled? and it seemed like it was rubbing causing the noise. Anyone had that before?
3) Just recently, when I accelerate normally from a stop I hear a couple little ticks and it sounds like its coming from the chassis or front forks area. Also when I hit some bumps I hear the same tick. Anyone know what that is? It doesn't seem normal.
I'm really particular about the bike and want to make sure its running top notch!

ROTTERDAM: The European vegetable oils market mostly eased on Friday on the back of a stronger dollar and weaker CBOT soyoil values, with most players waiting for fresh global data due next week.
* "Next week we will see (Malaysian) palm oil export data for the first 10 days of January with the new export tax regime in place, and we will see if already record high palm oil stocks grew even larger in December. This all caused both sides of the market to sit back and wait," one broker said.
The Malaysian export data will be released on Jan. 10, and US Department of Agriculture supply and demand figures are due on Jan. 11.
* At 1700 GMT CBOT soyoil was between 0.48 and 0.67 cents per lb down on technical selling following prospects for a bumper soybean crop in South America and talk of Chinese cancellations of US soybean orders.
* EU soyoil was offered a tad firmer at 905 euros ($1,200) per tonne for Feb/April and May/July on the back of a strong dollar, which supports euro-priced products, but asking prices were hardly tested.
* EU rapemeal was offered 2 to 3 euros per tonne down following the trend in Chicago and due to easier rapeseed futures.
* Earlier in the day, Feb/April EU rapeoil traded 2 euros up from Thursday at 897 euros per tonne fob exmill, and May/July changed hands at 900 euros, up 4 euros.
* Palm oil was offered between $2.50 a tonne up and $12.50 down from Thursday after Malaysian palm oil futures closed between 6 ringgit per tonne up and 12 down, mainly supported by hopes for higher export numbers from the new tax structure for crude palm oil, which currently is set at zero percent.
* Many European dealers were skeptical whether the tax level of zero percent would have much of an impact on exports.
* "Large Malaysian refiners had something like a 4.3 million tonne export tax-free quota and had trouble filling it last year, and it is doubtful if smaller companies can take much advantage of the new regulations and export a lot more," one dealer said.
* April/June RBD palm olein changed hands between $867.50 and $860 a tonne fob Malaysia, down $10 from Thursday. July/Sept traded unchanged at $885.
* Lauric oils were offered between $5 and $10 a tonne down, mostly following rivals palm and soyoil and because of the strength of the dollar, which weighs on dollar-priced products.

I wanted a tablet that would help me type. I am a journalist and hoped to have the ability of a tablet to handle it. To be able to fact check online, get emails, and use a word processor was what I hoped this tablet would be able to do. To decide if this tablet was enough I read a hardware review.
This is an overview of the Surface tablet: I created a recovery drive, tested the hardware, customized some setup options, and give my thoughts of it.
OEM OS backup and restore
Windows 10 is created to protect itself. For necessary situations it has the ability to refresh or be reset by the user. For instances with updates, they can be rolled-back within 10 days. The prior OS 10 tools are still there (system imaging, restore point) for the meta-detailer, however, I will trust the Windows 10 tools to be able to handle recovery. I also have a year warranty so that helps out too.
File backups are encouraged. For files there is File History in Settings > Backup that will backup personal files on a regular basis.
Recovery drive creation
My tablet has a recovery partition that has Windows RE (Recovery Environment) on it. Windows RE is for resetting or repairing Windows 10.
I wanted to have a failsafe and I created a Windows RE on a USB flash recovery drive. The USB creation utility can be opened in the Start menu by typing Create a recovery drive. I unchecked the option to copy the system files as the plain recovery drive has all the tools I need. (A microSD card can be used here too.)
If there is ever a need to recover Windows later this page has more details.
Recovery drive image
The USB flash drive I needed for other tasks. I imaged the drive so I can restore it later if needed¹. I used msys2 to do so:
# size get from Drive properties 357 MB for me (+1 MiB for partion table, etc) cat /proc/partitions dd if=/dev/sdX count=182784 bs=2048 | pv | xz > surface_$(date +%F)_winre-usb.img.xz # recovery drive image restore xzcat surface_DATE_winre-usb.img.xz | pv | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=2048 # tested working
For Windows to recognize the USB flash drive properly again after Recovery drive creation it has to be re-partitioned and re-formatted. Type
diskpart in the Start menu and then:
# Start menu `diskpart` list disk select disk X online disk clean convert gpt create partition primary select part 1 format fs=ntfs label=Backup quick assign letter X exit
Hardware tests
- Windows Memory Diagnostic
- disk scan
- disk S.M.A.R.T. extended test with smartctl
Windows touch-ups
Windows 10 on this tablet was pretty much ready to go out of the box. I did a few appearance touch-ups and added a few programs.
- Desktop scaling increase to make images and text larger for the higher than previously typical DPI. It needs to be a little larger than the default 150% and the next in the basic setup is too large (175%). Using a custom scaling number is alright though recommended otherwise. The only instance where there is trouble is apps that can't rescale an image down again to its 100% for something like a gamma correction test: Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display: make text and… > set custom scaling level, I use 162.
- display color calibrate—type this and use the guide to balace the colors levels
- sleep time extend for computer as is 10 minutes default—listening to audio and … I extended it to a hour, type Edit power plan in Start menu
- recycle bin move Quick Access as I organize in the File Explorer—drag RB to File Explorer Quick Access, and remove from Desktop: Show or hide common items on the Desktop
- drive lettering order that makes sense to me: C:\ Windows, P:\PNYFLASH S:\ SDXC; this is also he order they are hardware recognized
- hibernation in Start Menu add, because I put this in my backpack I want to be sure it stays at a cool temperature: Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable > add Hibernate
Programs I installed:
- 7-zip
- notepad++
- msys2
Surface and Windows 10 thoughts
Microsoft has been nice to me. This process started with Surface User Guide I got online. It was very helpful; I got to learn the hardware and the OS with it.
The 4GB RAM the Surface has, I wondered if it would be enough. I email, web browse, and word processor busily; these first two weeks the tablet has been running proficiently. The GPU plays videos smoothly. On other GPU intense tasks with some programs on lower settings it can do enough. Windows 10 appears to use memory efficiently and the 1408MiB page file has remained at that level.
Windows does updates in the background smoothly now and is patient to reboot. It also handles the firmware.
The Edge browser is nice. It is just the basics and has run efficiently. Microsoft. To save a page for offline I use the print to XPS option.

Skip to comments.VIDEO: South Carolina U.S. Senate, Republican Debate
Posted on 06/07/2014 5:43:42 PM PDT by Resettozero
Video at link
Lindsey, sweetie. You're not part of the solution. You're part of the problem.
We've gotten $17+ trillion more in debt since you've been there.
Go home, Lindsey!!!
I live in Alabama and haven't followed this race but I am listening to the debate.
This guy Lee Bright has impressed me so far. Lindsey is clueless.
Graham is presenting himself as such a conservative, I look for him to pull out a cup of Tea for Party.
Sounds like 2 of the challengers are running against Graham's tenure, as much as anything — he's been there too long.
Gramnesty plays the Reagan card — "I'm a Reagan republican."
Claims they have put more border patrol on the border and improved technology.
The quality of the opponents varies. Some appear very good. Some not so much so. The hope is that each appeals to enough different people to keep Senator Weasel below 50% in the primary.
There are so many candidates on the stage that Gramnesty is getting very little talk-time.
[Moderators are not interrupting nor editoralizing. They are letting the candidates speak. RNC should consider these types of mods for the GOP primary debates in 2016.]
Graham says to secure the border first. [Yawwwwwwn. I would not trust him to secure it. He has made little effort so far in his tenure.]
You are precisely correct. In the run-off three weeks after Tuesday June 10th Primary, vote for whomever isn't Lindsey Graham.
Richard Cash is the one to beat L.G.
He is concise, on target, calls a spade a spade, no qualms. He knows what he is talking about and has no outside agenda but to get Graham out of office to get SC back on track leading the nation in conservancy. God and Country, the people's Republic, protecting our state from all federal institutions.
A Reagan Republican would not have voted to confirm BOTH Kagan and Sotomayor.
I cringe a bit every time Nancy Mace speaks. Most of the rest of Graham's opponents seem to be smooth, comfortable, and able to make a relatively compelling case for their views.
I just watched the debate on fast-forward/double speed (with a special program I have). Here's what I noticed: out of all the candidates, only Graham swayed from side to side and was very nervous throughout the debate. I too had higher hopes for Nancy. There was just no passion there. I liked the military guy to the right of Graham (sutton?) and Cash...just from my brief view of their speaking and oratory skills, which we all know is not necessarily all that it's cracked up to be.
I've followed Bright for a couple of years now, and he is a true Conservative. He sponsored a bill here allowing open carry, but leftist Glenn Reese of Spartanburg and his cohorts played stupid and the bill failed.
I disagree, I thought Mace stuck it to L.G. a few times, which is what all of them should have been concentrating on. That said, I will vote for Bright and encourage all my friends to just vote for "anybody but Graham", and that should be our one liner.

I learned a long time ago this about America, Russia, Uzbekistan, And other spots. I've served in the US Army National Guard and spoke with Generals, Command Sergeant Majors, subordinates and my fellow troops. I've served with State Troopers and Local Law enforcement. I've been a radical anarchist. I've prayed with Muslims, Jews, Buddhist, Hindus and Baptists.
I've grown up with poor and rich whites and poor and rich blacks. I've met many people. 99% of those who are on this planet are outstanding! We all will be just fine regardless of the outcome of this election. This whole fear train is exactly what a depressed minority would love for us all to worship.
There is a certain rhythm and culture to each and every area of the world. There in those individual areas there are yes and no items and lines that should not be crossed. There is also tolerance, love and compassion. Apathy is the disease of the depressed minority. This is the disease that is spread among good people.
How to fight this? Behave yourself. That is all you can do. You can only behave yourself and try to be an example. Show respect to everyone you meet. You will make friends. If you practice this your friends will always outnumber those who give you guff.
As an anarchist and atheist back in 1987 I was fed up with what I thought was the programming of White Protestant America. I had no idea that as a 17 year old young man that I was responsible. I was. I just didn't know it yet. A glimmer of truth came to me from many directions. Ultimately it led me to the same truth. I am responsible for everything!
Lesson Number One: Punk Rock.
Punk was amazing because it was a do it yourself campaign. The whole D.I.Y was brilliant. It also led many folks to become skilled at the very things those folks protested. Go figure. Everyone had to learn how to balance the finances. Or not.
Lesson Number Two: You are the World.
J. Krishnamurti had a book that I will forever be grateful to have come across. It was a transcript of his lectures. You are the world. It is pretty simple. If you enjoy depression do not ever look for this book.
Lesson Number Three: The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success.
Brain Tracy is an amazing fellow to get pumped up about. He has given away and charged for so many business strategy and life skill items. The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success was lent to me to read by an amazing man who was very educated. He was also very successful. He also told me that he believed everything in this book and that it would change my life. It did.
So that is it. What will happen when the election passes? It is everyone's responsibility to make that determination, but it is my responsibility to make it happen. I will vote. I will be respectful to others. I will protect and be a steward to my family, home, city, state, country and planet to the best of my ability.

Forget down-at-heel student digs — the latest accommodation in London offers underfloor heating, designer kitchens, free broadband and stunning views.
Developer urbanest's 27-storey tower in King's Cross will house 669 students, including more than 300 from the LSE next academic year. But with prices from £189 to £399 a week, it is feared many will be priced out.
Colum McGuire of the National Union of Students said rents have soared while grants and loans have failed to keep pace: "It would be a mistake to continue to prioritise high-cost accommodation or assume that students will be able or willing to absorb inflation-busting rent increases."
Johnny Manns, Managing Director of developers urbanest, said: "We've worked closely with the major universities and listened carefully to feedback from students about the type of housing they want and the result is a comfortable, remarkably efficient building with a range of room types including many at the lower end of the price scale.
"At urbanest, we pride ourselves on developing leading-edge accommodation and this has resulted in a building that is already full including a major pre-letting to the London School of Economics."Reuse content

WILSON, District Judge.
In the beginning, harmony prevailed among Bond's assistants. Danjaq, S.A. ("Danjaq") produced Bond films and MGM/UA Communications Co. ("MGM") distributed them. Sixteen Bond films in all, from "Dr. No" to "License to Kill," were produced and distributed under this arrangement, going back 19 years to the 1962 Distribution Agreement between Danjaq and MGM (the "Distribution Agreement"). But perfect harmony cannot last forever, and Pathe Communications Co. ("Pathe") appeared on the scene to prove this saying true.
Pathe made a bid for and in November 1990 acquired MGM to form a new entertainment industry giant MGM-Pathe. In the eleventh hour before the merger, Danjaq, suspecting the derogation of its rights under the Distribution Agreement, appealed to this court, without success, to enter a restraining order against the merger. Danjaq's complaint depicted a Machiavellian scheme by Pathe to finance the merger by peddling Bond films throughout the world at "fire-sale" prices. The alleged wrongs were breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy to do the same, and copyright infringement.
In the end, it turns out that the copyright allegations do not state a claim and there is no diversity of citizenship between the parties so as to confer jurisdiction upon this court to hear the state-law claims.
Danjaq is incorporated in Switzerland with its principal office in Lausanne. Danjaq's sole director is a Swiss attorney, Mr. Schlaeppi, residing in Lausanne. Mr. Schlaeppi admittedly knows little about the entertainment industry and performs strictly ministerial functions on behalf of Danjaq, and on behalf of fifteen other corporations for whom he serves in a similar capacity of a sole director. Danjaq has one additional employee in Switzerland, Mr. Reynard, who performs the bookkeeping function of monitoring royalty and other payments made to Danjaq's accounts in Switzerland. Danjaq files its income tax returns in Switzerland.
Danjaq's principals, Albert Broccoli and his wife Dana, have been residents of Los Angeles for the past twenty years. Danjaq's general counsel in the United States is Mr. Tyre of Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown, a Los Angeles law firm. Danjaq's principal business relationship is with MGM, which finances and distributes Bond films under the Distribution Agreement with Danjaq. Los Angeles is the situs of several meetings each year between the policymaking personnel of Danjaq and MGM. Mr. Broccoli maintains an office in the MGM building in Culver City, California, although the office is formally the headquarters of Warfield Productions, Inc., a separate entity controlled by Mr. Broccoli.
The actual business of filmmaking historically has been carried on by Danjaq through its wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, Eon Productions, Ltd. ("Eon"), based in Pinewood studios outside of London. The scripts for Bond films are reviewed and plots conceived by Mr. Broccoli in Los Angeles in consultation with his London-based co-producer and stepson, Michael Wilson. Eon is charged with putting ideas on the screen. The production company goes on
The plaintiff is a citizen of the world, Swiss in origin, but with a presence in Lausanne, Los Angeles, London and New York. Defendants are all citizens of California. To maintain suit in this court, the plaintiff's principal place of business must be other than California. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c).
A. Whether an Alien Corporation is a Citizen of its Principal Place of Business for Purposes of Diversity Jurisdiction?
Prior to 1958, an alien corporation was considered, for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, a citizen solely of the foreign country of its incorporation. See Wright, Miller & Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure, 2d, § 3628, at 662 (1984). In that year, Congress opted to reduce the caseload of the federal courts by adding Section 1332(c) to the Judicial Code. Id. Section 1332(c) is now a familiar principle of law providing that for purposes of diversity jurisdiction a domestic corporation is deemed a citizen of its state of incorporation and of the state of its principal place of business. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c). Whether alien corporations, like their domestic counterparts, are subject to the same dual-citizenship rule has been debated in the more than thirty years since the enactment of Section 1332(c). At the outset, it must be noted that the Ninth Circuit has thus far taken no part in that debate.
The first case to consider the issue employed a close literal analysis of § 1332(c), concluding that the statute did not apply to alien corporations because the word "State" used in § 1332(c) is spelled with a capital "S," which Congress uses to designate a state of the United States. See Eisenberg v. Commercial Union Insurance Company, 189 F.Supp. 500, 502 (S.D.N.Y.1960). In the alternative, the Eisenberg court held that, even if § 1332(c) applied to alien corporations, the worldwide principal place of business of the defendant alien corporation lay outside of the United States. See id. In the years following that decision, the trend has been to adopt the alternative holding of Eisenberg, applying § 1332(c) to alien corporations, as arguably more consistent with the intent of Congress to limit diversity jurisdiction. See Continental Motion Pictures v. Allstate Film Co., 590 F.Supp. 67, 70-72 (C.D.Cal.1984) (alternative Eisenberg holding is the "emerging rule"); see also Clifford Corp., N.V. v. Ingber, 713 F.Supp. 575 (S.D.N.Y.1989).
The Fifth Circuit, which was the first court of appeals to address the issue, adopted the alternative holding in Eisenberg, citing congressional intent to limit diversity jurisdiction to out-of-state citizens who are potentially subject to local bias. See Jerguson v. Blue Dot Investment, Inc., 659 F.2d 31 (5th Cir.1981), cert. denied 456 U.S. 946, 102 S.Ct. 2013, 72 L.Ed.2d 469. Recently, the Eleventh Circuit reached the same result. See Cabalceta v. Standard Fruit Company, 883 F.2d 1553 (11th Cir.1989).
Indeed, the same kind of abuse of diversity jurisdiction practiced by domestic corporations prior to § 1332(c) could be practiced by alien corporations nominally incorporated abroad but maintaining a substantial, if not a dominant, presence in some state of the United States. In the present context, there would no reason to afford the protections of a federal forum to a Swiss corporation if all of its visible public activities were carried on in California. See Industrial Tectonics, Inc. v. Aero Alloy, 912 F.2d 1090, 1094 (9th Cir.1990) ("local contact alleviates problems with local prejudice against outsiders"). This is the evil that Congress intended to eradicate by the enactment of § 1332(c).
Accordingly, § 1332(c) is applicable to alien corporations, such as plaintiff Danjaq, and it remains for the court to locate Danjaq's worldwide principal place of business.
B. Whether Activities of a Subsidiary are Attributed to the Parent Corporation for Purposes of Determining the Parent Corporation's Principal Place of Business?
The question of whether to attribute Eon's activities to Danjaq is of critical importance here, because the most visible and substantial activities of a filmmaker are associated with the films' production. Production requires a large staff, space, and business contacts, all of which tend to forge stable ties between the filmmaker and the community. Historically, Danjaq's production activities have been carried on by its U.K. subsidiary, Eon. Danjaq now contends that its principal place of business, if not Switzerland, must be Great Britain in view of Eon's substantial and longstanding presence there.
It has long been a matter of settled law that a subsidiary corporation maintains its own principal place of business, for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, apart from its parent corporation. See Wright, Miller & Cooper, Federal Practice & Procedure, supra, § 3625. What appears to be less clear is the separate principal place of business of the parent corporation apart from the activities of its subsidiaries.
The only appellate decision directly to address this issue concluded that the separate corporate identities of the parent and subsidiary could not be ignored for the purpose of locating the parent's principal place of business. See de Walker v. Pueblo International, Inc., 569 F.2d 1169 (1st Cir.1978). In de Walker, the defendant corporation operated a chain of supermarkets in Puerto Rico but also owned a New Jersey subsidiary which accounted for 60% of the revenues of the parent corporation on a consolidated basis. Id. at 1171. In addition, the corporation's internal documents referred to the New Jersey subsidiary as a "division." Id. In spite of this uncontestably close relationship between the subsidiary and the parent, the First Circuit, relying on a line of Supreme Court cases relating to personal jurisdiction, concluded that the integrity of the corporate form must be respected in the absence of a formal piercing of the corporate veil. See id., citing Cannon Manufacturing Co. v. Cudahy Packing Co., 267 U.S. 333, 335, 45 S.Ct. 250, 251, 69 L.Ed. 634 (1925) (per Brandeis, J.).
To controvert First Circuit's analysis in de Walker, Danjaq cites two district court cases decided soon after the enactment of § 1332(c). See Textron Electronics, Inc. v. Unholtz-Dickie Corp., 193 F.Supp. 456 (D.Conn.1961); Lancer Industries, Inc. v. American Insurance Company, 197 F.Supp. 894 (W.D.La.1961). Both decisions consolidated activities of subsidiary corporations with those of the parent for the purpose of locating the parent's principal place of business. In Textron, the court observed that the phrase "principal place of business" is not new but already appears in the (now-repealed) Bankruptcy Act and that the legislative history of § 1332(c) encouraged the courts to be guided by bankruptcy decisions when construing the identical phrase in § 1332(c). See 193 F.Supp. at 458; see also S.Rep.No. 1830, 85th Cong., 2d Sess. 5 (1958), reprinted in U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 1958, at 3102. The Textron court then concluded that "[i]nclusion of a subsidiary's business as a part of the business of the parent corporation ... is no innovation as far as the Bankruptcy Act is concerned." 193 F.Supp. at 459. Each step in the Textron analysis is now worth re-examining.
The old Bankruptcy Act authorized venue for a corporate debtor in the district in which such debtor had its "principal place of business." See 11 U.S.C. § 11, sub. a(1), repealed by Pub.L. 95-598. As a consequence, a whole body of law grew around the construction of the venue provision, with place of operations and location of executive offices emerging as the two principal tests for determining a corporation's bankruptcy venue. See 1 Moore, Moulder, Collier on Bankruptcy, 14th ed., § 2.19, at 214. However, nothing in the congressional record, in the Bankruptcy Act, or cases decided thereunder gives guidance on how to treat the activities of a wholly-owned subsidiary. On this issue, the bankruptcy jurisprudence is even more obscure than the jurisprudence under § 1332(c). Although
In fact, it is an undisputed axiom even in bankruptcy that "ownership of all of the outstanding stock of a corporation is not the equivalent of ownership of the subsidiary's property or assets." 5 King, Collier on Bankruptcy, 15th ed., § 1100.06; see, e.g., In re Beck Industries, Inc., 479 F.2d 410 (2d Cir.1973), cert. denied 414 U.S. 858, 94 S.Ct. 163, 38 L.Ed.2d 108. Except where it operates as a mere shell or a fraud, a corporation retains a separate legal identity apart from its shareholders, whether they number one or many. This is the rule as much in bankruptcy as in other areas of the law. See, e.g., Stone v. Eacho, 127 F.2d 284 (4th Cir.1942). In light of this well-settled principle, the Textron decision appears to be unfounded insofar as it relies on bankruptcy jurisprudence to attribute activities of a separately incorporated subsidiary to the parent. (The Lancer case, decided in the same year as Textron and relying primarily on it, does not need to be separately addressed.)
Accordingly, since no alter-ego showing has been made here by Danjaq, there is no reason to disregard the separate corporate identity of Eon.
Indeed, the divergence in result between de Walker and Textron is not so surprising, because the Textron court rejected without discussion the relevance of a line of Supreme Court cases which was found to be controlling in de Walker. See Textron Electronics, Inc. v. Unholtz-Dickie Corp., supra, 193 F.Supp. at 459; de Walker v. Pueblo International, Inc., supra, 569 F.2d at 1172-73. In Cudahy Packing, the Supreme Court held that the courts cannot look to the activities of a subsidiary for the purpose of determining whether its parent corporation was "doing business" in a state. See Cannon Manufacturing Co. v. Cudahy Packing Co., supra, 267 U.S. at 335-37, 45 S.Ct. at 250-52. From this the First Circuit concluded that if a parent corporation cannot "do business" in a state by reason of the activities of its subsidiary, a fortiori, it cannot have its "principal place of business" in that state. de Walker v. Pueblo International, supra, 569 F.2d at 1173.
It is a firmly established principle of our jurisprudence, reiterated in Cudahy Packing, that a corporation exists separately even from its sole shareholder, despite such shareholder's ability to direct the activities of the corporation. While the corporate separation between Danjaq and Eon may perhaps be merely formal, it is nonetheless real. See Cannon Manuf. v. Cudahy Packing Co., supra, 267 U.S. at 337, 45 S.Ct. at 251 ("The corporation separation, though perhaps merely formal ... was not pure fiction."). If any doubts existed about the continued vitality of this principle, they have been put to rest by a recent decision of the Supreme Court. See Carden v. Arcoma Associates, 494 U.S. 185, 110 S.Ct. 1015, 108 L.Ed.2d 157 (1990). In Carden, the Supreme Court noted that the corporation remains the one artificial entity in our law whose citizenship, for jurisdictional purposes, is determined without reference to the identity or character of its owners. Id. 110 S.Ct. at 1017-19.
There is a separate argument favoring the respect for Danjaq's separate identity apart from Eon. It appears beyond doubt that if Eon itself had brought this lawsuit against MGM, Eon would be entitled to a
If Eon is not a party to the present action and its rights are not hereby adjudicated, then Eon would not be prejudiced by the unavailability of a federal forum. The fact that Eon is based in London and is an "outsider" in California is of no moment here. A federal forum cannot be invoked in Eon's name if no right of Eon is on the line in this suit.
Accordingly, plaintiff Danjaq's principal place of business will be determined without regard to the activities of its subsidiary Eon. See de Walker v. Pueblo International, Inc., supra, 569 F.2d at 1171.
C. The "Nerve Center" Test.
The courts have developed several not necessarily inconsistent tests for locating a corporation's principal place of business. Where a majority of a corporation's visible public activities is conducted in a single state, that state is designated as the corporation's principal place of business. See Industrial Tectonics, Inc. v. Aero Alloy, supra, 912 F.2d at 1094. Plainly, a corporation cannot be an "outsider" in the state where it carries on a majority of its operations, employs the most people, and interacts most visibly with the public. However, where the activities of a corporation are dispersed among many states or countries, such that no state accounts for a majority of its business, the courts have applied the "nerve center" test to locate the principal place of business of a far-flung enterprise. See Scot Typewriter Corp. v. Underwood Corp., 170 F.Supp. 862 (S.D.N.Y.1959). Typically, the corporation's nerve center is coincident with the situs of its executive headquarters and of its administrative apparatus. See id.
The financier of Danjaq's films and the United States distributor is MGM, located in Los Angeles, but the worldwide distributor of Bond films is UIP, a U.K. company located in London. The owner (together with his wife) and the chief moving force of Danjaq, Mr. Broccoli, resides in Los Angeles, while Michael Wilson, his stepson and co-producer, spends most of his time in London as an officer of Eon. Danjaq's administrative records are in Lausanne; the full-time salesman, Mr. Beck, is in New York; the general counsel, Mr. Tyre, is in Los Angeles; U.S. tax counsel, the law firm of Arnold & Porter, are in Washington; the stage props are in London.
Among the tangible property owned by Danjaq, the chief is the "Albert R. Broccoli/007 stage," the largest film stage in the world, located at Pinewood studios outside of London; some camera equipment is also stored there. The various props from the Bond films, "Jaws'" titanium teeth, the "golden gun," the Aston-Martin cars, when they are not in London, are exhibited worldwide to cheering Bond fans.
What emerges from this account of Danjaq's operations is that no single place claims a majority of its corporate activities, and the application of the nerve center test is therefore appropriate.
The novelty, also the difficulty, of applying the nerve center test to the present case lies in Danjaq's separation of its administrative and executive apparatus. Usually, the two go hand in hand, but not here. See, e.g., Scot Typewriter Corp. v. Underwood, supra, 170 F.Supp. 862. There is no dispute that Danjaq's representatives in Switzerland, Messrs. Schlaeppi and Reynard, make no decisions on behalf of Danjaq, and in general know little about the film industry. Although Mr. Schlaeppi reviews all of Danjaq's contracts for compliance with Swiss law (to the extent that Swiss law bears on Danjaq's contracts), he does not initiate or conduct any negotiations on behalf of Danjaq. Mr.
If put in anatomical terms, Switzerland is Danjaq's stomach reflexively churning the enterprise's profits, but it is hardly a nerve center. The brains of the operation, committing the company to its next assignment or a critical contract, are in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is where Mr. Broccoli reviews the scripts for the next Bond challenge and envisions future plot lines. It is from Los Angeles that the nerve impulse emanates to Lausanne, London, New York and elsewhere, sending the people in motion on the next project. Los Angeles is Danjaq's nerve center, London is the muscle and Lausanne, the stomach. Accordingly, Los Angeles is Danjaq's principal place of business.
Mr. Broccoli has lived in Los Angeles during the last twenty years. He has testified at a hearing that he and his company are well known to the filmmaking community here. Danjaq's crucial discussions with MGM are carried on in Los Angeles several times during the year, and important decisions are made here. In short, Danjaq, whose chief decisionmaker lives and works within a few miles from Hollywood and this courthouse, is hardly an outsider to this forum. Danjaq has not convinced this court that it requires protection from local prejudice that diversity jurisdiction affords to true outsiders.
A. Copyright Allegations
Danjaq and MGM are co-owners of copyright to Bond films. Mindful of the well-established proposition that "[o]ne joint owner cannot be liable for copyright infringement to another joint owner, for reason that one cannot infringe his own copyright," Danjaq has asserted a copyright infringement claim only against Pathe and not MGM or other defendants. 1 M. Nimmer & D. Nimmer, Nimmer on Copyright, § 6.10; see also Oddo v. Ries, 743 F.2d 630, 632-633 (9th Cir.1984).
The substance of Danjaq's accusations is that, prior to the merger with MGM, Pathe toured the capitals of Europe offering to license the exhibition of Bond films to every television station along the way at cut-rate prices, thereby diminishing the value of Danjaq's copyright on the world market. Counsel alleges that negotiations were conducted between Pathe and French, Italian, and Spanish telecasters. Only the Spanish deal is alleged to have culminated in a final licensing agreement. In each case, Pathe made its licensing offer contingent upon a successful merger with MGM.
No primary infringement of the Bond copyright, such as a public display or distribution of the films, is alleged in the complaint. Danjaq seeks to impose copyright liability upon Pathe solely for its, as yet unconsummated, "authorization" of public performances of Bond films.
B. Contributory Infringement Before and After 1976
The Copyright Act reserves to the owner of copyright the exclusive rights "to do and to authorize any of the following": the reproduction of the copyrighted work, the preparation of derivative works, the distribution or sale of the copyrighted work, and its display and performance in public. See 17 U.S.C. § 106 (emphasis added). Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner is an infringer of copyright, liable to the owner for actual or statutory damages, and, in the discretion of the court, for costs and attorney's fees. See 17 U.S.C. §§ 501-505. Danjaq contends that Pathe infringed its exclusive right "to authorize" the performance of Bond films. Thus, the viability of Danjaq's copyright claim rests on the court's construction of a key word in the statute.
The pre-1976 law was stated by the Second Circuit as follows: a party "who, with knowledge of the infringing activity, induces, causes, or materially contributes to the infringing conduct of another, may be held liable as a `contributory infringer.'" Gershwin Publishing Corp. v. Columbia Artists Management, Inc., 443 F.2d 1159, 1162 (2d Cir.1971). Contributory infringement, under this standard, plainly does not lie without primary infringement. This, of course, does not mean that the primary infringer must be a co-defendant in the case; there may be many reasons why a party may not be held accountable for its conduct in court. What is important is that contributory infringement be hinged upon an act of primary infringement, even if the primary infringer for some reason escapes judicial scrutiny. Cf. Deepsouth Packing Co. v. Laitram Corp., 406 U.S. 518, 526, 92 S.Ct. 1700, 1706, 32 L.Ed.2d 273 (1972) (patent case) ("But it is established that there can be no contributory infringement without the fact or intention of a direct infringement.").
The novel question presented in this case is whether the law has changed since 1976 that is, whether copyright liability may now be imposed upon an authorization that does not in fact culminate in a primary infringement of copyright.
When Congress added the word "authorize" to the Copyright Act of 1976, it may have intended simply to codify the antecedent jurisprudence of contributory infringement, without creating a new and separate basis for copyright liability. The House Report lends some support to this position: "[u]se of the phrase `to authorize' is intended to avoid any questions as to the liability of contributory infringers." H.R.Rep. No. 1476, 94th Cong., 2d Sess., reprinted in 1976 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin. News, 5659, 5674.
In addition, Professor Nimmer in the latest edition of his treatise suggests that in "all but exceptional circumstances, the act of authorization simpliciter is unlikely to damage the copyright owner." See 3 Nimmer on Copyright, supra, at § 12.04(A). For this reason, Professor Nimmer suggests that instances of unconsummated authorization do not merit the invocation of federal court jurisdiction under the Copyright Act. See id.
Although instances are conceivable in which an act of authorization alone may injure the copyright owner, such instances in all likelihood are remediable under the applicable state law without the need to invoke jurisdiction under the Copyright Act. See id. Tort actions in the nature of interference with prospective economic advantage are particularly apt in providing relief to the copyright owner in those exceptional circumstances where he is injured by a naked authorization. See id. n. 85; Cf. Ernst & Ernst v. Carlson, 247 Cal.App.2d 125, 55 Cal.Rptr. 626 (1966) (defendant enjoined from interfering in plaintiff's relationship with its clients).
Indeed, Professor Nimmer's general proposition is amply borne out by the plaintiff's complaint in this action. Danjaq has not been at a loss to find state-law causes of action against Pathe or MGM. The complaint alleges that Pathe's acts of authorization, made with MGM's permission, amounted to a breach of contract and fiduciary duty by MGM, and a conspiracy by MGM and Pathe to interfere with Danjaq's
Thus, there exists substantial authority in the congressional record and in the commentaries for confining the scope of authorization liability under the Copyright Act of 1976 to the bounds of contributory infringement liability, as that concept had developed under the Copyright Act of 1909. If so confined, authorization liability would lie only where direct infringement had in fact occurred, and state law would be entrusted to render complete justice in those rare instances where an unconsummated act of authorization redounds to the copyright owner's loss.
C. Authorization of Extraterritorial or Otherwise Noninfringing Use
The court may reserve for another day the broad question of whether an unconsummated authorization is ever actionable under the Copyright Act. The present case is susceptible to summary resolution on a much narrower ground: Danjaq's copyright allegations fail to state a claim, because Pathe did not authorize an infringing use of Bond films. This is to say that direct infringement did not just fail to materialize in this case but rather was precluded by the very terms of Pathe's alleged authorization.
Section 106 of the Copyright Act does not prohibit every authorization in respect of a copyrighted work but only authorizations of an infringing use of a copyrighted work, such as public display or distribution. In a recent case, for example, copyright owners brought an infringement suit against a hotel for renting videodiscs and providing video equipment to the hotel guests for in-room viewing of copyrighted motion pictures. See Columbia Pictures Ind., Inc. v. Professional Real Estate Inv., 866 F.2d 278 (9th Cir.1989). The plaintiffs contended that hotel rooms were public places and that the hotel, therefore, authorized public performances of copyrighted works. See id. at 280. But the Ninth Circuit disagreed, holding that hotel rooms were not public places under the Copyright Act and affirming, without further discussion, a summary judgment for the defendant hotel. Id. at 282. To be sure, the Ninth Circuit did not hold that the hotel did not authorize the performances of copyrighted works, which the hotel certainly did, but rather that the performances so authorized did not infringe the exclusive rights of copyright owners because such performances were nonpublic. The decision in Columbia Pictures has confirmed the intuitive suspicion that no liability can arise under the Copyright Act from the authorization of a noninfringing use of a copyrighted work.
There are two separate grounds for likening the present case to Columbia Pictures, though the court will rely on only one of them. First, Pathe's conditional licensing offer must have been stated in roughly these terms: "I will allow you to show the film next month, for a fee, provided that in the meantime I acquire copyright to the film from the current owner." Plainly, if the terms of such authorization were faithfully carried out, and the film were actually shown, no primary infringement would occur because the authorizer would become the owner of copyright before the day of the showing. Thus, a conditional license may not, depending on its precise terms, authorize an infringing use of a copyrighted work. The determination of the relevant terms, however, must await a full hearing or even a trial.
The second ground, which easily lends itself to resolution on a motion to dismiss, rests on the undisputed axiom that the
Taking as given that the performance of Bond films on European television would not infringe Danjaq's U.S. copyright, the court must conclude that Pathe's alleged authorization of such performances is not actionable under the U.S. Copyright Act, not any more than was the defendant hotel's authorization of nonpublic performances in Columbia Pictures. The exclusive right of the copyright owner under Section 106 is not to authorize every performance of a motion picture, but only public performances and, because the section is enacted against a general background presumption of non-extraterritoriality, only in the United States. See E.E.O.C. v. Arabian American Oil Co., ___ U.S. ___, 111 S.Ct. 1227, 1230, 113 L.Ed.2d 274 (1991) (background presumption against extraterritoriality).
It is simply not possible to draw a principled distinction between a private performance of a motion picture in the United States and a public performance overseas. The copyright owner is not vested with the exclusive right either to do or to authorize private or overseas performances. Even as a matter of formal statutory construction, the exemptions from liability for both private and overseas performances arise as negative inferences from the text of Section 106. Private performances of motion pictures are not actionable because the Congress had failed to include such performances among the list of the copyright owner's exclusive rights. In the same manner, overseas performances are not actionable because the Congress has not chosen to enforce the U.S. copyright laws extraterritorially.
To be sure, the complaint alleges that certain negotiations for foreign television rights were conducted in the United States and that such negotiations constituted acts of authorization. These allegations, however, neglect the central lesson of Columbia Pictures that an authorization of a noninfringing activity, such as a private or an overseas performance, is not actionable under the Copyright Act even if the authorization is made in the United States.
Accordingly, the allegations of Danjaq's second amended complaint that Pathe authorized the public performance of Bond films overseas do not state a claim under the U.S. Copyright Act.
The strongest authority cited by Danjaq in contravention of this court's conclusion comes from another Ninth Circuit case decided three years before Columbia Pictures. See Peter Starr Prod. Co. v. Twin Continental Films, Inc., supra. In Peter Starr, the Ninth Circuit held that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over a claim that the defendant authorized in the United States an overseas exhibition of a copyrighted film. 783 F.2d at 1441-1443. It would be too facile, however, to conclude from this decision that the Ninth Circuit approved the imposition of liability in the circumstances described.
Peter Starr addressed itself entirely to the question of subject matter jurisdiction and not to the sufficiency of the claim. Indeed, the Ninth Circuit only recently held that a copyright claim "arises under" federal law on the basis of a well-pleaded complaint. See Effects Associates, Inc. v. Cohen, 817 F.2d 72, 73 (9th Cir.1987). Hence, the complaint in Peter Starr, alleging authorization within the United States, may have been sufficiently well pleaded so as to arise under the U.S. Copyright Act; the Ninth Circuit has certainly so held. However, in that case the Ninth Circuit was neither presented with nor addressed
Accordingly, Pathe's alleged authorization of noninfringing overseas performances is not actionable under the U.S. Copyright Act. The copyright claim is dismissed under F.R.C.P. 12(b)(6).

Integration of High Speed 2 will transform Britain's railway
- Published by Ozgur Tore
High Speed 2 (HS2), which is a planned high-speed railway between London Euston, the English Midlands, North West England, Yorkshire, and potentially North East England and the Central Belt of Scotland, will sit at the heart of Britain's transport network.
"The step-change in capacity that HS2 enables across the network as a whole will transform the service on existing lines, creating the space we need to meet growing demand and deliver new and better connections. The timetables that might operate are by no means fixed and we will soon announce a programme of engagement with passengers and stakeholders, both inside and outside the industry, to seek their views on what should be prioritised as we start to plan future services," said Paul Plummer, group strategy director, Network Rail.
"We can deliver the biggest benefit for passengers, communities and freight if we plan for the high speed and existing lines to operate seamlessly together. This will also ensure we build upon investments we are making today, such as the Northern Hub, to improve connectivity between major towns and cities" Plummer added.

Definition: CD stands for Compact Disc. Compact Disc refers to both the disc and the digital audio playback format developed by Philips and Sony in which audio is digitally encoded, similar to the way computer data is encoded (1's and 0's), into pits on a disc, using a process called PCM which is a mathematical representation of the music.

The first CD recordings were manufactured in Germany on August 17, 1982. The title of the first full CD test recording: Richard Strauss' - Alpine Symphony. It was later that year, on October 1st of 1982, that CD players became available in the U.S. and Japan. The first CD sold (first in Japan) was Billy Joel's 52nd Street which had been previously released on vinyl in 1978.

The CD started the digital revolution in audio, PC Gaming, PC storage applications, and also contributed to the development of the DVD. Sony and Philips jointly hold the patents on the development of the CD and CD player technology.

Although pre-recorded CDs have certainly lost their luster with the convenience of digital music streaming and downloads, it was the CD that started the digital music revolution. Many still love CDs and both buy and play them regularly.

For more info on the history of the CD, check out the report from CNN.com.

Also, check out a photo and a complete review (written in 1983 by Stereophile Magazine) of the first CD Player sold to the public.

HDCD

HDCD is a variation of the existing CD standard. By extending the information stored in the CD signal by 4-bits (CDs are based on 16bit audio technology) to 20bits, HDCD can extend the sonic capacity of current CD technology to new standards, but still enabling, HDCD encoded CDs to be played on non-HDCD CD players (non-HDCD players just ignore the extra "bits") without any increase in the price of CD software. Also, as a by-product of more precise filtering circuitry in HDCD chips, even "regular" CDs will sound fuller and more natural on an HDCD-equipped CD player. When buying music CDs, look for the HDCD initials on the back or internal packaging.

Also Known As: High Definition Compatible Digital, High Definition Compact Digital, High Definition Compact Disc

SACD

SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) is a high resolution audio disc format developed by Sony and Philips (who also developed the CD). Utilizing the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) file format, SACD provides for more accurate sound reproduction than the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) used in the current CD format.

While the current CD format is tied to 44.1 kHz sampling rate, SACD samples at 2.8224 MHz. Also, with a storage capacity of 4.7 gigabytes per disk (as much as a DVD), SACD can accommodate separate stereo and six-channel mixes of 100 minutes each. The SACD format also has the capability to display photo and text information, such as liner notes, but this feature is not incorporated into most discs.

CD players cannot play SACDS, but SACD players are backward compatible with conventional CDs, and some SACD disks are dual-layer discs with PCM content that can be played on standard CD players. In other words, the same disk can hold both a CD version and SACD version of recorded content. That means that you can invest in dual-format SACD's to play on your current CD player and then access the SACD content on the same disc later on an SACD-compatible player.

It must be noted that not all SACD discs have a standard CD layer - which means you have to check the disc label to see if a specific SACD disc can also play on a standard CD player.

In addition, there are some higher-end DVD and Blu-ray Disc players can also play SACDs.

SACD's can come in either 2-channel or multi-channel versions. In cases with an SACD also has a CD version on the disc, the CD will always be 2-channels, but the SACD layer may be either a 2 or multi-channel version.

Kyle: End of DayMature
I looked at them, stopping for an instant to consider the offer.
A night out with the boss. Call me sceptical, but that didn't appeal in the slightest. I thought that there was a chance that Keri was different out of work - not as cruel. Probably still a nutter.
A night out with the beautiful stranger. Well, we had talked a little bit and she did intrigue me. Saoirse had been relatively nice to me and maybe getting out would do me good.
"Well?" She asked, clearly watching me think.
I didn't know what to say - I hadn't thought it over enough yet.
"We don't have all night!" Keri yelled, hoping that I'd say no. I suppose it would annoy her at the very least.
Had I sunk to such a low? Was my life going so badly that it made me happy simply to punish my boss like that?
I could see Keri eager to leave, getting up and trying to take Saoirse with her but she was lingering slightly. It was just out of politeness right? She offered me a smile.
Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe spending my evening with two women wasn't a good plan just yet. I'm not ready. But before I had chance to say no, Saoirse was bounding over to me with a smile on her face.
"It'll be fun." she insisted, taking my hand. I wasn't so sure but then again, how could I refuse someone like her?
I offered her a smile, feeling a little weak. I so wasn't ready. This was going to go horribly.
"Take a deep breath," I muttered under my breath so she couldn't hear me. "Geronimo."

Excerpt: "It is going to be exceedingly difficult for the Giants to find a great deal of help for their offensive line in the upcoming NFL draft.
There is a general consensus that the three top offensive line prospects are Cam Robinson of Alabama, Ryan Ramczyk of Wisconsin and Garett Bolles of Utah. All three could go in the first round. The problem is, the Giants are not enamored with any of the three.
Sure, there are aspects of all three that are intriguing, but when assessing the entire package, the Giants look at the players, look at their pick No. 23 overall and it is difficult to find a match of need and value.
Last year, seven offensive linemen were taken in the first round. This year, two or three might be it. No wonder ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said Wednesday it is a lean year for offensive linemen." Read more...

Let me explain a bit why is this site called Tower Attack Games and what type of games can you find here. Tower defense games are well known game type. You build your defenses while waves of enemies attack, and your aim is to clear them out before they reach your base. That would be a short definition of those games.
BUT, recently, new and quite popular type of games emerged, and they also have some key elements pretty much similar to TD games: you operate towers or small bases, and you are indeed defending. What is interesting, though, is that in these games you cannot win unless you attack and manage your forces in an offensive way. So in order to win, you need to defend your towers but also conquer other towers.
Thus said, and with no real name at current time, I decided to group those games in one place and call them "Tower Attack Games". Pretty simple. I myself (admin) am far away from an expert in the field, but until different, maybe more accurate name for those games appears, I'll call them like that, and hope that it will be recognized.
Have fun while playing games, I'm most positive you will, and enjoy your stay! In case you're looking for more games of different kinds, visit Friv Games.
