There is an evolution happening within the modern data center. Huge data center operators like Google and Amazon are quietly redefining the future of the data center. This includes the integration of robotics to create a lights-out, fully automated data center environment.
Let's draw some parallels. There's a lot of similarity between the modern warehouse center and a state-of-the-art data center. There is an organized structure, a lot of automation, and the entire floor plan is built to be as efficient as possible. Large organizations like Amazon are already using highly advanced control technologies – which include robotics – to automate and control their warehouses.
So, doesn't it make sense to logically carry over this technology to the data center?
Robotics in the Data Center
As the reliance on the data center continues to grow, full software and hardware robotics automation is no longer a question of if, but a matter of when, technologists predict. Robotics organizations, like Chicago-based DevLinks LTD are already having conversations and creating initial designs for data center robotics automation.
Scott Jackson, Senior Robotics Programmer at DevLinks, says it's becoming quite feasible to have a robot fetch a drive, blade or even a chassis and deliver it to a central bay for replacement.
"Simple RFID tags, laser and barcode identifiers can create true data center automation," Jackson explains. "For example, you can tag drives with RFIDs and assign them to be wiped, destroyed and reused as needed." Conveyor systems are able to run in parallel to robotics within the data center environment.
There are already working examples of robotics in the data center. Tape archives seen at Google and high-performance computing data centers use robotic arms to locate and retrieve backup storage tapes. (For an example, see this video of a system in action at the NCAR data center).
What Will Be Different?
What might a robot-driven "lights-out" data center look like? There would be rail-based robotics capable of scaling the entire data center. Here's an interesting wrinkle: the modern data center would no longer be limited by horizontal expansion space. When using robotics, data centers can literally scale upwards. Utilizing space in the best possible manner is always a challenge for data center providers, so having the ability to scale both horizontally and vertically becomes a huge advantage.
"These robotics can scale the entire rack, which can now be much taller because of these intelligent robots can reach higher," said Jackson. "Once a part is removed, a conveyer at the bottom can move the part to the appropriate floor space. Furthermore, detailed vision technology has progressed a long way as well. Solutions like Cognex are able to allow machines to take pictures of a device, barcode and many other variables to help identify the part's destination or origin."
Large organizations that invest heavily in their data center infrastructure are actively exploring robotics solutions to help them better control their data centers. IT shops such as Amazon and Google are looking at ways to create a fully automated, lights out data center. AOL has taken a first in that direction with an unmanned data center facility.
The Cost Equation
As with any technology, costs for custom data center robotics will start high and come down as time progresses and platforms become smarter. Smaller robotics are already becoming less expensive. Manufacturers like FANUC develop large machines; but they also create smaller, more agile robotics. Models like the LR and the Mate M-1iA are paving the way for super-agile, fast, robotics capable of granular part identification and distribution.
Both data center, automation, and robotics technologies have come a very long way over the past decade. From the warehousing perspective, robotics already know where everything is located, how to put things in order and are able to directly interact with the human-created automation scenarios. Because of robotics, something very interesting has happened: Instead of the human going to the warehouse, the warehouse comes to the human.
Soon it will be possible to do this at the data center level.
This would enable entirely new approaches to operations. Your data center will be able to run at a different temperature level, you won't need any lights, and you can directly integrate your new robotics platform into a modern-day automation and orchestration platform. From a central command center, the human operator can maintain visibility into their data center environment, the robotics infrastructure and the workloads that are being managed. This can all be done without the need of a single person on the data center floor.

15 New Hi-Res Images of Emma Watson and Cast In The Perks Of Being A Wallflower08/16/2012
Is Emma Watson a star? Yes, she is famous and all of that, but is she a true, leading lady, Hollywood starlet? Can she put asses in the seats without the words Harry and Potter attached to her name?
That is what I want to know. That is what the whole god damn film industry wants to know. Lets face it, cinema needs an NEW Aubrey Hepburn — a darling, cinema's it girl, the one no man or woman can say no to. If anyone can do it, it's Emma or… Her co-star Nina Dobrev? Let me be the first to say, on this blog at least, 'Nina Dobrev is the finest natural beauty in show-biz.'
Well, today MTV and Summit Entertainment have gone out of their way in not letting us forget about there purchased film, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower.' The good looking film based on the book by Stephen Chbosky hits theaters in the UK 3rd October and in the US 21st September.
Oh, and it features all the teeny boppers MTV could sign: Ezra Miller, Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Nina Dobrev, Mae Whitman. There all here, but which one will shine? Who will everyone be talking about when they walk out of the theaters stuffed with popcorn? This is, after all, a coming of age story.
The film is being pushed as 'A funny and touching coming-of-age story based on the beloved best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up. Starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope–and the unforgettable friends that help us through life.'
I'm more interested in the Box Office success. Again, I want to know if Emma Watson's feverish fans will follow her into the theaters without Daniel Radcliffe by her side. I'll say this, 'I hope so.'

MORE than 1600 people are dead as Russia and Georgia edge towards all-out war in the disputed province of South Ossetia.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili declared a "state of war" yesterday after Russian tanks, armoured personnel carriers and trucks rumbled into the breakaway province.
Earlier yesterday, a Russian aerial bombardment devastated Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti in attacks which Georgia's UN ambassador likened to "a full-scale military invasion". The Russian army said it had "liberated" the South Ossetian capital.
Pro-Russian South Ossetia broke from pro-Western Georgia in the early 1990s and has been a constant source of friction since.
"I have signed a decree on a state of war. Georgia is under a state of total military aggression by the Russian navy, air force, large-scale ground operations," Mr Saakashvili told his national security council.
"The future world order is to be decided today in Georgia."
The US and European Union were last night scrambling to arrange a ceasefire, but Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said his country had launched the military operation "to force the Georgian side into peace".


text: Record Number of Participants at CCC Graduation Ceremonies Posted: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 3:20 PM More than 420 students participated in two graduation ceremonies at Clackamas Community College last week – a record number for the college. Ninety-three students took part in Thursday's GED and Adult High School Diploma ceremony, while 318 students participated in Friday's degree and certificate ceremony. In 2013, 415 total students earned the GED (General Education Development). The oldest person earning a GED was 64, and the youngest was 16. Twelve students earned an Adult High School Diploma. During the 2012-13 academic year, CCC conferred 1,520 degrees and certificates. The oldest student earning a degree or certificate is 69, and the youngest student is 17. One hundred graduates earned a 4.0 cumulative grade point average, and 542 earned a cumulative GPA between 3.5 and 3.989. Each year a number of students, nominated by their instructors, are recognized for their achievements during graduation. Some of these students are academic achievers while others have overcome great personal obstacles to receive their degree, certificate or diploma. This year's honored students are: Nelva Ramirez Sierra, who came to this country as a teenager and began working in the fields picking fruit. She earned her GED. Anthony Morales, a former homeless man, who earned a GED at 33 and went on to earn his degree in Water and Environmental Technology at CCC. Jeremy Hutson, completed his nursing degree after returning to school at 40. He has been a leader involving nursing students in service projects. Suzanne Richards escaped a violent relationship five years ago. Through her classes and instructors at CCC she rebuilt her life and graduated with a degree in human services. Pam Kedev started taking CCC classes at CCC as a sophomore at Clackamas Middle College. She is one of two students at CCC recognized by Gov. John Kitzhaber as part of the All Oregon Academic Team. Jeffrey Kesterson entered CCC's manufacturing program after losing his job in the retail industry. He has earned several scholarships, earned a 4.0 GPA and was part of the All Oregon Academic Team. Another highlight of the graduation ceremony Friday was the final concert of vocal instructor Lonnie Cline. He has worked with CCC for 32 years.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
First let's get the semantics out of the way: They haven't called them head shops since the Seventies. The preferred moniker these days is smoke shop, though if all you're after is a good stogie, turn around and head for a cigar store. However, if your smoking urges -- nudge, nudge, wink, wink -- require some preparation, Sativa is the place. Sure you could pick up an oversize bong at any of several garish spots along Washington Avenue on South Beach. And if you're just looking to stay abreast of the latest market trends, the current issue of High Times is available at plenty of newsstands. But at Sativa the friendly staff also has your postsmoking needs in mind: A wide variety of self-detoxification kits is on display here, perfect for those occasions when your employer takes a sudden interest in your urine.
Folks in South Miami-Dade take their baseball seriously, and so does Hitter's House. The store features four batting cages where a practicing slugger can get twenty pitches for just $1.25. Special hourly team rates are another indication that Hitter's House understands that the nation's favorite pastime is not just another sport. Autographed photos and baseball cards are available for collectors. Hard-core playing enthusiasts can find just about every piece of baseball gear available, from mitts to mouthpieces.
This bike shop has been around since 1944; the oldest bike it carries -- a rare Packard found nowhere else in Florida, so they say -- dates to 1902. Yes, Broken Spoke specializes in antique bikes. For instance there's the toddler bike, circa 1920, that belonged to one of the Rickenbacker children. Chris Marshall, Broken Spoke's owner, says he purchased it from a former caretaker of the Rickenbacker home. Iggy Pop rented two Schwinn Sting Rays from Marshall for a music video. At the end of production, the aging punk rocker fell in love with the bikes, bought them, and had them transported to Europe. Marshall's bikes have even starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as There's Something About Mary. His peddled prizes have been featured in national magazines. Double Trouble, an ice-blue six-wheeler, wins the local low-rider shows every time, Marshall says. But Broken Spoke's most impressive bike hangs from the shop's ceiling. It's called Silver Bullet, and at first glance it almost looks like a Harley. How's that for a bike shop?
These people will sharpen everything from chain saws to steak knives. And when they are done, owner Dennis Hollinger promises you will be able to shave a hair on either edge. At $1.50 per knife, this kind of kitchen convenience is a bargain. Open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the Tool Shed also features an excellent selection of knives for sale, both of the culinary and pocket variety.
Mitchell Kaplan has lotsa books. Books and books. He has books on photography, architecture, film, and music. Books of poetry and works of literature. Books by great authors. Books by obscure writers. Books on Cuba. Books on boxing. Books carried by no other bookstore in town. Kaplan has so many books, he moved to a new Coral Gables location this year, across the street from his old one. Much bigger. More room for his books. If you can't make it to Coral Gables, drop by the Lincoln Road store. It, too, is filled with books. Books and books and books.
Tucked in a tree-lined corner of Allapattah, this stucco garage painted with frescoes of San Lazaro and Santa Barbara is the real deal. Pigeons, doves, and roosters coo in cages in the back, ready to give it up for the orishas. Antlers hang overhead, and the shelves are stuffed with boxes of twigs, roots, and herbs. Everything you'd ever need to please your santo is here, as well as a plethora of potions, charms, and trinkets. If you don't know what you're doing, the friendly staff is happy to advise you. While you can find many an oddity, the hours are not one of them: Open 9:00 to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Farpoint Group –
Why does it seem as though there are so many organizations that are Wi-this and Wi-that? Because there are - and they now play an important if not critical role in the development and marketing of many new wireless technologies. And while they all begin with "Wi", each has a distinct focus and set of objectives, which may eventually involve conflict with one another. This week, we look at the most important of these associations, and explore what they're trying to do.
By now we've all heard of Wi-Fi. At one point Wi-Fi was a trademark, but it has fallen into common use as a general term describing wireless LANs (WLANs). Wi-Fi, as you might guess, is short for "Wireless fidelity", a rather clever marketing slogan originated by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA), formed by a number of leading WLAN vendors in 1999. The original mission of WECA was simple - provide interoperability testing for 802.11b-based products of different manufacturers.
The IEEE 802.11 standard didn't, still doesn't, and likely never will include either compliance to the standard, or compatibility testing and verification (among given implementations of products based on the standard). The founders of WECA reasoned that customers would be more inclined to take a chance on what was then a new and unproven technology if an independent authority would certify interoperability - a very good assumption. This was all of five years ago, mind you - quite remarkable considering that everyone seems to have a wireless LAN now.
WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance, has been a major factor in the adoption of WLANs, especially in the residence (i.e., using products available through retail channels sold to relatively network-unsophisticated customers). A big challenge in recent years has been the rapid evolution of 802.11 standards to include new physical layers (.11a, .11g, and in 2005, .11n), as well as new multimedia (.11e) and security (.11i) features.
Given the broad range of potential incompatibilities, based on the breadth of the standard, optional features in the standard itself, "standards plus" (extended) implementations from vendors, and differing implementations of exactly what the standard says, resulting in unintentionally-incompatible implementations, the Wi-Fi Alliance still has its work cut out for it.
They've also been busy providing an interim (and maybe permanent) solution to the well-publicized security problems inherent in 802.11's Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security implementation - the equally well-publicized Wireless Protected Access (WPA) specification now widely available in many WLAN products. They're also working on interoperability and promotional activities regarding public access wireless LANs (known as the "Wi-Fi Zone"), and in providing a bridge to the multimedia capabilities in 802.11e. Again, this is an example of what a highly-focused and disciplined group of industry players can do when they focus on the customer and at least temporarily ignore the fact that they are otherwise very serious competitors.
The Wi-Fi Alliance is sometimes confused with the Wireless LAN Alliance (WLANA), which was a competing trade association in the WLAN space. WLANA still exists, but seems to be in a dormant state. You can still find interesting educational materials on their site, but much of it hasn't been updated in some time.
Perhaps taking a page from the Wi-Fi book, the WiMAX Forum was formed to popularize products based on the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN (Metropolitan area standard) standard. WMANs have much longer range than WLANs, as much as several kilometers and more, as opposed to the nominal 100 meters of WLANs. As is the case with Wi-Fi, the WiMAX folks are looking to popularize the use of WMANs for Internet access, network bridges, and other applications. Most of the Forum's current interest is in promoting the use of .16-based products in the 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, and 5 GHz. bands

Your one stop for Fundraising Ideas, Projects and How-To Start a Fundraiser PLUS
The Truth About Telemarketing & How to Avoid Telemarketing Scams
We apologize for the long delay in getting the site back up and going, but as promised to all those who commented on our other blogs and emailed, we have finally got caught up and are ready to roll.
For those who may not have visited our sites let me explain just what truthINfundraising is all about!! First of all we are devoted to bringing you all the information you need to begin and successfully complete your own fundraiser for any group, sports team, club, church group or whatever you may need to raise funds for! From A to Z we will help you identify the idea you decide fits your cause best and then implement it in a way to maximize the success of the fundraising effort without having to spend tons of hours!!! BUT DON"T FORGET
We also bring you all the inside information about the telemarketing industry and how to avoid all the scams out there!!! We try to answer all your questions about those phone calls you get wanting you to donate money to all sorts of charities and causes... From how a company based in sherwood, AR, The Heritage Company, can state to you that 25%, 35%, 50% or more actually "goes to the charity" when in some cases 0%, YES IT SAYS 0%- NOT A PENNY- even makes it to the charity!!!! This is just one of many companies that call YOU at home and try to get your hard earned money just to line the pockets of the TOP-LEVEL managment of the telemarketing company.!!
BUT what can you expect from a company where the president of the company states during a meeting of upper managment that the only reason people decide to work there or come to work is SEX!! YES THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT, MR. JOHN BRAUNE, OF THE HERITAGE COMPANY!! I guess instead of Sex Drugs and Rock 'n Roll, they should call it DRUGS, SEX and TELERIPPOFF---- P.S. The heritage company also uses different company names when they call you depending on what they call for. These include names such as "youth services" when they call for charities such as MSAA, or Multiple Sclerosis Assoc. of AMerica (nope not the REAL ms charity, but this is a knockoff- remember lining the pockets of those execs, plus a lot of times they line pockets of those higher ups of the charity as well). They also use Medallion Productions, Deaf Services (so it sounds like they are with the charity- AADB, Association of Deaf and Blind- another charity that is a joke).... ANyways, we have a lot of NEW and UNBELIEVABLE information to pass on.......... Including how they have broken the law time and time again without giving it a second thought..... BUT as long as they get their $$ why should they care if those who need the help really get it.... WOW! sorry for the soapbox, but it's hard when a company like that preys on others by taking their money and then prey on the less fortunate by keeping most if not all of it....

text: Hi all, Sorry for sending yet another OT post, but I have a situation that I thought folks from this list might be able to help with. Last night my husband was working out in the garage, and stumbled upon the old Perkins Brailler that my parents bought me when I was just starting school. I have to say, these things are truly amazing, and could almost convince one to become a Ludite. They're built like tanks! I've had mine for over thirty-five years, and it still works as well as it did the day I got it! Now i can't think of *anything you could buy today that would last that long. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't really want to trade in my PC or Pacmate and go back to the old days, but I think we really lost something when we traded in durability and longevity for a throw-away culture. Anyway, my little musings aside, I don't want this thing to just go into a land-fill somewhere, but I'm honestly not sure I'd ever use it again. Does anyone know someone or someplace that might actually have a use for it? Thanks, Donna

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D—the Nintendo 3DS port of Retro Studios' Wii platformer, which is being handled by Pilotwings Resort developer Monster Games—now has an official release date. Previously set for summer, Nintendo narrowed that window down to the specific launch date of May 24.
There's a 3D video available on the 3DS eShop if you want a taste of how Donkey Kong Country Returns looks in the third dimension. Otherwise, Nintendo's press release was startlingly brief. In fact, it pretty much just contained the release date… and this image.

Warner Bros is breathing a sigh of relief this morning as a St. Louis judge just ruled against Mike Tyson's tattoo artist's request for an injunction, allowing The Hangover 2 to be released as scheduled on Thursday. "We are very gratified by the Court's decision which will allow the highly anticipated film, The Hangover Part II to be released on schedule this week around the world," WB said in a statement. "Plaintiff's failed attempt to enjoin the film in order to try and extract a massive settlement payment from Warner Bros. was highly inappropriate and unwarranted." Warner Bros took the lawsuit very seriously, dispatching two of its top executives to St. Louis on Monday to testify in the case.
No Tattoo Holdup: Judge Rules 'Hangover 2' Can Be Released As Scheduled
38 Comments
Wait mike tysons tattoo artist was sueing??
How convenient for a publicity stunt. Too bad that's the only original idea the movie promoters had because the movie is an exact copy of the original, just with a monkey in Bangkok instead of a baby in Vegas. I saw it last night, it's not terrible, just not that great
Although the preliminary injunction was not granted, the judge also said that Warner Brother's defenses were "silly" and that tatoos are copyrightable. This was by no means a loss for Whitmill.
I saw it last night in NYC. Is it structurally similar to the first Hangover? Absolutely. Is it the funniest film to come out since the first Hangover? Absolutely. It goes places no studio comedy has ever gone before.
It's clear why they used the same structure. It worked the first time. It was part of the massive appeal. It's part of having a "massive hangover".
Honestly, the film is going to be gigantic because the comedy delivers on the hype.
I wonder how they would have ruled if the tattoo was of Mickey Mouse?
I wonder how they would explain the difference?
WORST movie of 2009? Really? I guess you didn't see Transformers 2 (which made me want to poke out my eyes and ears) or G.I. Joe or Land of the Lost. Clearly you didn't see very many movies that year.
Congratulations Hollywood.
This judge just weakened copyright law.
How so? Yes the case has some merit, but so does the studio in claiming parody. This is a long established grey area. There is nothing in this case of any significance that will change copyright law.
I agree with Cleary.
In the past this studio and others have gone to court to prevent characters in films from wearing tee shirts etc with Superman, Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse on them.
Now they have argued for the exact opposite treatment of intellectual property that just happened to not belong to them.
WB should have just made a deal for a hefty fee for the artist but they got their "bully" on instead.
So this is now legal precedent that can apply to their IP as well.
It's open season for characters to wear Superman and Batman logo tattoos in their bodies now in any film as long as it's parody?
Now that's gangsta.
There are big differences between copyright and trademark protection. Any copyright on the original Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, or Superman characters have expired, but trademark protection lasts while the public associates a mark with a specific source, whether disney, WB, or DC comics. This artist is not claiming a trademark in the tattoo, as far as I've heard, so the law applied to this case and to t-shirts is not the same. I believe the allowable parody standards for copyright and trademark law also differ, although I don't recall the specific differences.
Ugh… how stupid can you people be? First, just because a tatoo is copyrightable it doesn't mean this one was. Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters and copyrighted and registered trademarks that are unique and distinctive not a generic tribal that the guy probably ripped off of someone else's work to begin with.
Regardless, the only precedent here is that someone who thinks they have a claim against a studio can't hold up the release of a film over a flippin' tatoo. That was extortion, plain and simple.
This was simply a ruling denying the request for the injunction against the release of the film. This was not a summary judgment in favor of WB. The lawsuit can proceed normally and he'll have his day in court to prove that he is the intellectual property owner of the art in question.
Seriously, go to your local community colleges and take a couple of basic civil procedure classes.
"Plaintiff's failed attempt to enjoin the film in order to try and extract a massive settlement payment from Warner Bros. was highly inappropriate and unwarranted."
Bullshit! It is perfectly warranted. The tattoo artist created something entirely new & unique (aka an intellectual property) which WB is using without the artist's permission. This is typically called "stealing."
So I guess that means it's OK for me to set up show at the WB gates selling bootlegged t-shirts of all the WB characters they own, right "your honor?"
Thank God we won't be deprived of a sequel to THE WORST MOVIE OF 2009!
The worst movie of 2009? Do you really believe that?? Land of the Lost? Confessions of a Shopaholic? Bruno? You're really going to maintain that it was the worst film of 2009?
The Hangover made half a billion around the world. Made people laugh their asses off during an "economic downturn", oh the horror. Imagine making something and having that kind of impact on tens of millions of people. Oh, I forgot, it's cool to be cynical.
I didn't like the original either, but, c'mon man, "the worst movie of 2009"? Get a grip.
whatever haters, I saw it last night and laughed my ass off , which is what matters when u go yo watch a comedy, It's definitely worth the money, I will go watch it again!
This does not prevent the artist for continuing a suit for infringement, he just cannot stop the film from being shown. Artists have been very successful in getting compensation for unauthorized use or copying of their original artwork. And Lytton S is right – if this had been Mickey Mouse it would have been serious business.
Being as this a comedy, and Ed Helms is certainly no Mike Tyson, might not the tattoo fall under the category of parody? Protected speech?
Parody is fair use….
Not always. Again, take a law course or two.
Actually, Kevin, the judge did no such thing. Before a trial on the merits, in the face of a motion for a preliminary injunction, the claimant must prove "irreparable harm" if the injunction is not ordered, as well as a likelihood of success on the merits. Here, if the the claimant wins as to copyright infringement, the trial would then move to the "damage phase", where the court would determine the amount of money owned to the plaintiff. Because Time Warner is financially capable of paying such damages, there would be no irreparable harm if the movie is now released. Hence, the court denied to motion for preliminary injunction.
The plaintiff will still get his day in court.
Thank you, B. for explaining that for the multitude of legal scholars posting on this thread who can't figure out the difference between a ruling denying a injunction and a summary judgment against a plaintiff's claim.
They have hyped the interest of this movie right out of me.
1. Mel gibsons gonna be in it.
2. No wait!!! the whole cast would boycott if he's in it.
3. Mel gibson was replaced by Liam Nieson
4. Liam Nieson demanded his part be cut out
5. Mike Tyson is angry he was the lowest paid
6. Mike tysons tattoo artist is suing
7. zac efron was orignially cast….no wait that was was all hype
8. no wait!! zac efron was originally part of the sequel
9. It was originally to take place in mexico…but they couldnt film becase of the drug cartels…no wait that was was all hype
10. Wait Bill Clinto was supossed to play a tatto parlor worker…wait that was all hype.
enough hype…release the film, make your cash and go away.
Looks like the wealthy and powerful Goliath just stomped on David. Original art is original art. I doubt the artist could afford strong enough representation to fight the WB Legal Firm. And so, got squashed.
Hope David at least got paid.
Did you even read the article? It was only a paragraph.
Can anyone sue for a bitten ear? Are teeth marks copyrightable?
"the tattoo artist created something entirely new and unique"?!? WTF. Have you seen just about every Maori tribal design. That tattoo is neither new or unique. Very, very different than "Mickey mouse".
I wasn't as crazy about the first one as everybody else. Hangover part 2, however, is hilarious. I was at a pre-screening and the whole audience was laughing and at times gasping at the antics of the Wolf Pack. Great movie not just great sequel.
It's a fuckin tribal tattoo… They didn't make a replica of the Mona Lisa or anything.
How can you claim a few pointy lines to be original/signature content? Seriously?
I can't imagine any of the folks mocking this case, feeling the same way if THEIR intellectual property was purloined for comedic and commercial purposes. The design is specific and copyrightable. Besides, what's up with WB legal dept. if they did not catch this in the first place??? Someone was asleep at the wheel and WB should pay up.
A Mona Lisa tattoo? The Louvre would sue.
"Parody is fair use…."
Yes, but Warner Bros have argued elsewhere that there is no such thing as "fair use". So now they're saying that they have a defense under the law while denying it to others whom they sue.
No. What it means is that one guy can't hold up the release of a film over an intellectual property complaint. He can still sue.
Isn't it better for the artist for the film to be released and make craploads of money – because then he can sue for more? The more money it makes, the more money he can argue his tattoo is worth.
That tattoo is not Maori, it is a take off the neo tribal art created originally by Leo Zulueta years ago.
Hardly original, that style has been done to death.
The tattoo artist is being a little putz.
And even if it were Maori, you would have the natives of New Zealand up in arms for trashing their beautiful style, they take their mokos very seriously.
As a tattooist I think that artist needs to get over himself. Giving the rest of us a bad name
He did nothing original
Did the artist get paid for Tyson's tattoo in the first film? Does he get paid now that Tyson has his own TV series? Is he a Maori tribesman? WTF. It's a tattoo… that frames Tyson's (and now Helm's) eye. Has the artist seen "Blade"? There are TONS of facial tattoos that are similar. This was a ridiculous suit. Obviously, the character is paying homage to Tyson's tattoo, but mimicking TYSON is the joke, not copying the "amazingly unique" design.
Now if they distributed temporary tattoos of the design as art of the promo campaign, I could see his point. Otherwise, get over yourself, dude.
If you retards read it right on copy right all the judge ruled is that it is to be released in time and that the tattoo artist has a strong copy right case
This Tattoo every one seems to be so concerned about you will find that its been ripped off from the Maroi people of New Zealand. But you Americans would sue anyone about anything

Frauds, Swingers and the Odd Early Days of Credit Cardsby
As credit cards came into greater use in the late 1950s and early '60s, the financial press closely followed their emergence, especially when the wrong sorts got access to them.
Consider, for example, Joseph Miraglia. In one month of orgiastic spending, Miraglia ran up a $10,000 bill entertaining himself across three countries, four girlfriends and one rhinestone-collared cocker spaniel. Miraglia was no scion: He was a clerk from the Lower East Side of Manhattan earning $73 a week. How did he get into the then-exclusive credit-card club?
In 1959, travel and entertainment charge cards, such as Diners Club, were just beginning to lose their ground to bank cards, such as BankAmericard. But the use of credit was still subject to very real technological and moral constraints. Miraglia nicely illustrated how both would soon change -- and foreshadowed some of the consequences.
His adventure began in September 1959, when he ducked into a fancy New York restaurant and saw a pile of Travel and Entertainment card applications for "men of responsibility." He filled out the Hilton Hotels' Carte Blanche paperwork, complete with his real pittance of a salary, and, to his surprise, received a card a few weeks later with a letter that said "this card is your key to every luxury Hilton has to offer."
'Nice Things'
And indeed it was. Beginning with the Waldorf in New York, Miraglia hit Montreal, Las Vegas and Havana before running out of steam. He bought fur coats, fine wines, dogs, meals, suits and even silk shirts from the same tailor as Cary Grant. With only the cash he won at the craps tables and some checks he wrote against the card, he lived, as he said, "like a millionaire's son."
When the police caught up with him, he said simply, "I always wanted to see the world, and I like nice things."
But while Miraglia could live the high life on his Carte Blanche card, he couldn't live a normal life. A traveling businessman with a Carte Blanche could eat in a few swank restaurants, buy his wife or mistress a fur coat in an affiliated shop, and maybe get a suit from a neighborhood tailor who had a relationship with the hotel, but he couldn't go to K-Mart. He couldn't buy groceries. Only places that catered to the expense account took American Express, and for everything else, there was cash.
Although Miraglia could spend $10,000 to live like a millionaire, it would have been almost impossible for him to spend $10,000 to live like a middle-class person -- much less a working-class guy from a Lower East Side tenement.
As bank credit cards spread across the country, this problem would start to confront not just frauds like Miraglia but increasingly the law-abiding middle class. And while more stores accepted credit cards in the 1960s and '70s, moral concerns about debt were slower to change -- it was as much attitudes as access that constrained the growth of credit cards.
A 1968 survey found that only 17 percent of Americans had credit cards, as opposed to the 62 percent who had gas cards. A 1971 study in the Journal of Marketing found that men who used credit cards were disproportionately affluent, urban and more likely to agree with statements like "I like to think I am a bit of a swinger."
Hippies, Liquor, Credit
Those who didn't use credit cards led more restrained lifestyles. Men without cards disproportionately believed that "hippies should be drafted," that "liquor is a curse on American life" and that "a woman's place is in the home."
They were not only disproportionately poorer, they also saw the world differently. Their economic outlook was less optimistic. They didn't believe in the benefits of investing in stock markets at nearly the same rate as those who had credit cards. They also were less likely to believe they would be executives in a few years or that their family incomes would go up.
The optimism that underpinned the credit expansion in the postwar period found its native expression in the credit card. Users embraced the good life, confident in a progressive future of prosperity -- and willingly borrowing from that better tomorrow today. The swingers embraced the new turbulent era and charged up the difference between what they had and what they thought they would be getting very soon. Those who lacked that optimism continued to find credit use "unwise."
They may have had a point. Perhaps we would have been wise to use means other than credit cards to adapt to the swinging economic fortunes of that postwar world. And perhaps we would have been better off if the practical and moral impediments to widespread credit-card use hadn't been quite so malleable. Because once you start using credit -- as a consumer or as a nation -- it's hard to stop.
Miraglia was let off in 1959. The judge evidently considered his actions youthful indiscretions. But like much else surrounding postwar credit, his case portended things to come. In 1984, Miraglia perpetrated what the New York Times called the "largest credit card counterfeiting ring ever encountered in the New York metropolitan era."
He did a year and a half in federal prison. It's unclear if his credit rating suffered.

Prepare for the Crush
Bali's Travel Systems to Be Under Heavy Strain During Coming Idul Fitri Holidays.
Via a joint decree from Indonesia's Minister or Region, Minister of Manpower, and Minister for Administrative Reforms October 12 - 19 have been declared "shared holidays" - an extended period when non-essential services government offices will close and many business will operate reduced schedules.

Security and surveillance at the Ngurah Rai International Airport and all seaports on Bali will be on high alert status.
A Conundrum of Double Standards
Editorial: Australia's Final Chance to Share the True Meaning of Mercy.
The Quality of Mercy
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation; we do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.
- Portia, William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," IV, I
Writing recently in the
Sydney Morning Herald
, Indonesian scholar-journalist Hamish McDonald performed a masterful job outlining the moral and political conundrum currently surrounding relations between Canberra and Jakarta. [
See: Double Standards in Bali
While Bali now sadly recalls the two terrorist attacks of October 2002 and October 2005, McDonald underlines the uncomfortable ethical chasm between the words and deeds of Australia on the issue of capital punishment. Understandably, there exists a strong desire among many Australians for the execution of the three Bali bombers who killed 202 people at a Bali nighspot in 2002, 88 of whom were Australians. The resulting thirst for a State-sanctioned revenge "killing" of the Bali Bombers, however, contrasts curiously with Australia's proud status as a signatory to the
Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
, declaring the death penalty as an unacceptable punishment for
Australia conducted its last execution in 1967.
Both Australia's Prime Minister John Howard and its Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, say Australia will not interfere in the execution process of the three Indonesian terrorists. Whether fueled by revenge, political expedience or simple respect for Indonesia's sovereignty - such easy acquiescence to capital penalties for the
Bali Bombers
will carry the hiden cost of eliminating the last remaining opportunity Australia has to make a compelling argument to spare the lives of 6 young Australians drug smugglers now sitting on death row.
Any debate regarding the pros and cons of executing the 3 Indonesian terrorists and the 6 Australian drug smugglers, and the comparative severity of their crimes, is potentially endless. The current situation does, however, present Australia with an unique opportunity to champion the equal application of justice both
at home and away
by opposing the imposition of the death penalty in every instance.
Such an act, no matter how bitter the taste, would compel the full and undivided attention of many Indonesians. For the Australian's, who endured unspeakable suffering at the hands of the Bali bombers, to now find it in their hearts to plea for mercy on the behalf of their tormentors would place an enormous pressure on the Indonesian leaders to show similar magnanimity towards the 6 Australians nervously waiting a fatal date with a firing squad on an empty Bali beach.
To those hell-bent on retribution against terrorists and drug smugglers alike, take heart: the deplorable conditions of the average Indonesian prison render the commutation of a death penalty to life behind bars a "small mercy" by any standard.
And, by way of final recompense, should the killing somehow suddenly stop here and now, it would bring the added special bonus of denying the Bali Bombers the martyrdom they so desperately seek; relegating them to grow old, forgotten, bitter and increasingly irrelevant in a prison cells on the isolated island of Nusa Kambangan.
The Deepening Villa Crisis
Gianyar Joins Badung in Steps to Tighten Control on Villa Operations. Villas a Drain on Much-Needed Foreign Exchange.
Bali's Badung Tourism Office has 276 unlicensed villas in its cross-hairs as it moves closer to the promised final crackdown on illegal commercial villa operations in the Island's south.
According to the
Bali Post
, the Head of the Badung Tourism Service, I Made Sumbawa, said his office is working together with sub-district offices in contacting the errant villas and warning them of the looming dire consequences of their continuing refusal to operate in accordance with local laws.
If, according to Sumbawa, the villas are still unregistered on December 31, 2007 his office will commence the process of presenting three written warnings as a prelude to the sealing and close-down of the unregistered villas.
Current data indicate 711 villas exist in the Badung regency of which 229 are licensed, 300 are unlicensed and 182 used as private residences.
Villa Crackdown Now Spreading to Other Regencies?
In a separate report in the
Bali Post
, authorities in the Gianyar regency also appear to be taking the problem of unlicensed villas into hand. A recent raid carried out on 4 villas near Sukawati saw tourists staying at the subject locations rousted from their accommodation to receive an unscheduled visit by officials from tourism, law enforcement, and the Gianyar Regency.
The team issued formal summons to all villas found to be unlicensed, with some of the illegal villing unable to produce basic building and water-use permits.
Gianyar officials estimate there are 420 villas in their regency, only 70 of which have operating permits.
Lost Foreign Exchange From Villa Operations
reports that data from
Bank Indonesia (BI)
shows the number of visitors staying outside hotel settings during a Bali holiday has risen from 5.9% in 2005 to 10%in 2007.
estimates that villa operations are costing Bali an estimated Rp. 3.2 billion (approximately US$348,000) each day in lost foreign exchange earnings.
The Chairman of the Bali Chapter of the
Indonesian Hotel & Restaurant Association (PHRI)
, Tjok Oka Artha, complained that Bali's rising tourism numbers are not necessarily translating into a corresponding increase in hotel occupancy. The
Chairman said that many guests are not staying in hotels and those who do are staying for much shorter periods of time than was the case in the past.

Plant a Tree to Save the Planet
Indonesia to Plant 79 Million Trees in Week Prior to U.N. Climate Change Conference.
To underline its concern for the effects of global warning and mark the hosting of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
, the Government of Indonesia has announced plans to plant 79 million trees across the country between November 20-27, 2007.
With an estimated cost of Rp. 474 billion (approximately US$51.5 million), the trees will be planted in minimal lots of 1,000 trees in 78 pre-selected target areas nation-wide.
The program, devised by the Indonesian Forestry Department, also provides for the care and nurturing of the trees for the next 7 years.
Believed to possibly be the largest
tree planting blitz
in history, the trees are intended to have a real impact on the threat of global climate change. Organizers claim that 400 tree planted on a single hectare of land are capable of neutralizing between 100-150 tons of carbon.
The Indonesian contribution of 79 million new plantings is part of a global campaign targeting one billion new tree plantings worldwide in connection with the watershed
conference in Bali.
Improved Safety Performance by Indonesian Airlines
Latest Government Safety Audit Sees 6 National Air Carriers Earn 'Top' Category I Safety Ratings.
The Department of Transportation's most recent safety audit of Indonesian air carriers demonstrates tangible progress has been made in efforts to upgrade the safety of flying domestically.
Following an initial audit in March 2007 which failed to see even a single domestic air carrier receive a "clean pass" Category I rating, the latest review saw 6 airlines receive recognition for successfully meeting all civil aviation safety standards.
The Three Categories
Under the rigorous review of safety standards and safety management imposed by thee Government, all airlines in Indonesia fall into one of the following safety rating categories:
. Category I
- an airline meets all safety requirements of Indonesia's civil aviation authority.
. Category II -
an airline has been determined to meet minimal requirements of civil aviation safety rules, but with outstanding safety issues still to be addressed.
Category III
- Airlines found to meet minimal civil aviation safety regulations but with some safety issues which may affect passenger safety still unaddressed. Airlines found in this category are generally given three months to achieve at least
Category II
status or face suspension of operations.
Six Airlines Receive Category I Status
In an October 5, 2007 announcement from the Director General of Civil Aviation the six airlines earning the "safest" category rating were:
PT Garuda Indonesia
. PT Merpati Nusantara
. PT Indonesia Air Asia
. PT Mandala Airlines
. PT Lion Air
. PT Wings Abadi Air
14 other Indonesian airlines still reside in the Category II listing.
The second audit, conducted in June 2007, saw only
Garuda Indonesia
qualify in category II.

Bali will play host to its first international netball tournament on November 3, 2007, when home-town favorites from the
Stiff Chilli Bali Flames Netball Club

"We plan to make this tournament an annual event on Bali's sporting calendar," said

There are plenty of sporting teams in Bali, but none dedicated to developing women's sport and the Flames hopes to fill this gap and get the women of Bali on the ball!"
The inaugural
Bali Sevens International Netball Tournament
will be held at
Bali International School
in Sanur and will be followed by an awards presentation dinner at
Stiff Chilli Restaurant

The Bali tournament follows the Flames' recent tour to Bangkok, where they were runners-up in a regional tournament. Officially launched in June 2007 with a formal sponsorship deal with
Stiff Chilli Restaurants,
have operated at an informal level for the past five years. The team has a diverse, multinational membership hailing from Australia, New Zealand, England, the United States of America, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan. Many team members learned to play netball with the Club.
What is Netball?
Predominantly a Commonwealth Nations' sport, netball is the pre-eminent women's sport in Australia and New Zealand. It is also popular in other former British colonies, such as Canada, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. A non-contact sport roughly similar in characteristics to basketball; there are goal rings at each end and a 'centre' circle at which play begins after each goal, but netball does not allow bouncing, contacting, obstructing or running with the ball. It is a fast-paced, strategic game with high scoring.

Clouds Over the Bali Climate Change Conference?
Bali Tourism Board Official Questions Bali's Preparedness for December U.N. Conference on Climate Change.
The tourist industry in Bali is concerned that tourist facilities and infrastructure on Bali will be overstretched this December, during the Island's peak tourist season, as tourists and Climate Change delegates jostle for the island's limited facilities and infrastructure, reports the latest edition of the authoritative
Indonesian Digest
edited by Tuti Sunario.
Chairman of the
Bali Tourism Board,
Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, urges the government, Climate Change Conference organizers and the tourist industry to anticipate an overload of visitors to the island, since December is normally Bali's peak tourist season, reports
on October 4, 2007.
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),
which will be held between 3-14 December, with pre-conference meetings by NGO's and experts commencing in late November, is a prestigious conference that must be organized successfully, said Ngurah Widjaja. The
is expected to draw some 10,000 delegates. "If, say, only 7,000 delegates will attend, Bali will already be overstretched" said Wijaya. This will be the first time ever that Bali has hosted such a large number of Convention delegates. Up to now, Bali has organized a maximum of 5,000 Meeting and Conference delegates at one time. For that purpose a large number of hotels have been blocked in the resorts of Nusa Dua, Kuta and Sanur, in order to be able to accommodate all delegates.
Bali today has a total of 50,000 rooms. There are additional rooms in outlying resorts such as in Ubud, Seminyak and elsewhere - with some room located more than 100 km. away from the main conference venues.
As the
Bali International Convention Center (BICC)
has a single-venue maximum capacity for 1,500 delegates, it is anticipated that the opening event will take place at the
Garuda Wisnu Kencana Complex (GWK),
which can sccommodate thousands. However, because December is the rainy season in Bali, the government must anticipate that many outdoor facilities normally used for large functions and dinners, such as on the beach or
, may not be suitable due to lashing rains and high winds.
Seat availability on Bali-bound flights may also prove a problem. For the entire month of December last year, Bali received some 122,000 foreign visitors or an average of 4,000 tourists per day. Current arrivals are averaging between 5,000-6,000 visitors per day with many Bali-bound passengers complaining that seats on inbound flights to the island are increasingly difficult to obtain.
With some estimates running as high as 15,000-20,000 participants and accompanying persons attending the
in early December, Bali's carrying capacity is certain to undergo a critical test.
