Joschi necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 210 diseños de 53 diseñadores freelance.
Actually we are running two youth hostels at Berlin (please look at http://www.aletto.de) and another hotel in cologne (http://www.hostel.ag) - always located in the city center. The youth hostels are focused on groups of young people and some individuals as well. In cologne we are offering the service of a budget hotel (like motel one) and in the same time we are offering the group services for teenager and for adults as well.
Our rooms are containing 2, 4 or 6 beds; each room with a bath on a high standard. (4 and 6 bed rooms have separated toilet and showerrooms) Our staff is open minded and we are speaking different languages. We are a authentic service team - little family - and there is always a leasure atmosphere in our hostels. We are mixing standard furnitures wiht high end design classics. In addition to this we are offering Internetareas, a lounge and bar area, seminar rooms and for our young groups a cinema, dart, kicker and billiard areas etc. !
"There is no greater pleasure, than to surprise a person by giving him more than he expected" (Charles Baudelaire)
Our guests are mainly young people between 16 and 25 years old on school and sportclub trips from all over Europe and other parts of the word. In addition to them we have groups of people between 25 and 65 years old ( friends or clubs and societies)
As we are offering a high value for money we get a lot of individual guests as well (f.e. out of the internetplatforms like booking.com). These individuals are tourists, culture interested or business people.
Now we are looking for a brand adressing both groups - youth groups and indiviuals from tourits to business people.
The name acampus should explain we are bringing people together. Young and old ones in the same time. In our areas we find universities and other technological institutes - so we are focussing on them as well.
For your orientation I add the actual logo of aletto (with a coloured figure)
One idea is to keep the name in small and written letters. May be you contain "Hotel & Hostel" or "City Hotel & Youth Hostel" ! But please bring us your best ideas !
Attached you find a photo of our last building in Berlin - we are refurnishing it at the moment. (the architecture is from 1958)

Allende granddaughter accepts political defeat in Chile but says to run for office again
SANTIAGO, Chile – The granddaughter of the Chilean president ousted by the military coup that led to the Pinochet dictatorship has conceded defeated in a mayoral election but says she'll stay in politics.
Maya Fernandez Allende lost the mayor's race in the Nunoa district of Santiago by 30 votes in a recount announced Tuesday. Initial results had put Allende ahead last month.
She says she will now step down as a Nunoa local council member but plans to run for Congress.
The 41-year-old Allende spent her childhood in Cuba, where her mother lived in exile after Marxist President Salvador Allende killed himself during Gen. Augusto Pinochet's 1973 coup.

NEW YORK (AP) — Strong earnings from tech giants are nudging the stock market higher early Wednesday, ahead of a planned vote in Congress to raise the country's borrowing limit.
Tech giants Google and IBM reported surprisingly solid earnings late Tuesday, a hopeful sign for investors. Analysts had projected technology companies would post weak results in the fourth quarter.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 57 points to 13,769 as of 10:10 a.m. EST. IBM led the Dow's 30 stocks, surging 6 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was flat at 1,492. The Nasdaq composite rose 12 points to 3,155.
House Republicans are expected to vote in the afternoon on a measure to lift the federal government's debt ceiling, giving it enough room to pay its bills for another three months.
Google jumped 6 percent in early trading. Its earnings climbed at the end of last year as online advertisers spent more money in pursuit of holiday shoppers. The stock rose $40.61 to $743.88.
IBM's results beat expectations, thanks to its lucrative Internet-based "cloud" computing business and other software services. IBM also raised its earnings outlook for the current year. Its stock rose $11.36 to $207.48. Apple is scheduled to report its results after the close of trading.
Advanced Micro Devices also reported results that were better than analysts had expected. The world's second-largest maker of microchips, behind Intel, posted a smaller loss and higher revenue than analysts had forecast. AMD jumped 8 percent, making it the top stock in the S&P 500. It rose 22 cents to $2.65.
Coach plunged 14 percent, or $8.64, to $52.04 after the luxury handbag maker said a challenging economy and heavy price-cutting by competitors weighed on its results. Rivals like Michael Kors are attracting loyal followers.
In the bond market, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dipped to 1.82 percent, down from 1.84 percent late Tuesday.

Kobe Bryant Buys New $329,000 Ferrari Amid Impending Divorce
Kobe Bryant spent an exorbitant amount of cash on a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia on Saturday, amid rumors that his pending divorce from Vanessa Bryant has become increasingly stressful.
The 33-year-old paid $329,000 via check for the luxury sports car, which is only a fraction of the NBA star's $25 million salary this season alone, according to TMZ.
The mid-engined car was produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari in 2009 and boasts a a 4.5 L V8 engine which features direct fuel injection.
The car's suspension features double wishbones at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear, and Ferrari's official 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration is under 3.4 seconds.
Bryant, who has two daughters with Vanessa, was allegedly blindsided when he was served with divorce papers after 10 years of marriage and has been desperately trying to save his marriage ever since.
Some critics suspect that the new Ferrari is a delightful distraction from Bryant's divorce drama, which is allegedly taking a toll on the Los Angeles Lakers star.
Vanessa, 29, cited "irreconcilable differences" during her December 16 divorce filing, but it is believed that the mother of two simply grew tired of Bryant's ongoing infidelities, which includes a 2003 incident with hotel employee, Katelyn Faber.
"She's been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she's finally had enough," a source told TMZ.
Bryant's estate is estimated to be worth approximately $150 million, and along with joint custody of their daughters, Vanessa has already been awarded with $75 million and three of the estranged couple's properties in Newport Beach, Calif, according to the New York Post.
Under California law the estranged couple's divorce is finalized 6 months after the divorce filing, which in this case means mid-June, but Bryant is reportedly unwilling to let his wife go and has been "aggressively" pursuing her by showering her with lavish gifts, including expensive jewelry.
While the divorce is still pending, the pair recently sparked talks of a reconciliation after they were spotted kissing during the Lakers' Valentine's Day victory over the Atlanta Hawks, although it is believed that Vanessa is still pushing for a divorce.

Designing the Actuator for the Next-Generation Astronomical Deformable Mirrors: a Multidisciplinary and Multiphysics ApproachC. Del Vecchio[1], R. Biasi[2] , D. Gallieni[3], and A. Riccardi[1]
[1]INAF-OAA, Fierenze, Italy
[2]Microgate Srl, Bolzano, Italy
[3]ADS International Srl, Valmadrera, Italy
The actuation system of the deformable mirror is one of the crucial components of an Adaptive Optics unit. One possible implementation comprehends a linear force motor and a capacitive sensor providing the feedback measure signal. Choosing a magnetic circuit that makes optimum use of the magnetic force delivered by a current and properly arranging the electrostatic geometry allows to obtain very good results.
This paper, after a description of the magnetic design, discusses the mutual relationships in the physics of the device: as the magneto-static and thermal responses as well as the fluid dynamics in the physical implementation interact, such computations are carried out in order to define the thermal impact of the actuator on the local environment as a function of the delivered force.

To read the full detailed article see: KRK Rokit Powered 10-3 Review
KRK —the brand with the yellow cones— took everyone by surprise at Musimesse 2011 when they announced the coming of a new three-way monitor with a 10″ woofer for about $500. The weight-to-price ratio is unbeatable for a monitor speaker, but what about the specs?
A December afternoon in the AudioFanzine office:
– Knock, knock, knock.
– Who's there?
– I'm the delivery boy.
– Good, we were waiting for you. Please put the package in the kitchen, next to the stove.
– Isn't that a bit awkward?
– Why, if I may ask? A fridge is usually placed in the kitchen!
– I think you're mistaken, this is not a fridge, but the KRK Rokit 10-3 speakers!
– Oh! When I saw the size of the package, I thought you were delivering the fridge. Do you want a drink?
– I'd love one. I sweat a lot and it's very hot in your office, I feel so dizzy…
Sorry, we have to interrupt the story here and go back to the new KRK speakers. The Rokit 10-3 are huge! Considering their 46.3 lbs, we had to double-check if our monitor stands could withstand the load. It measures 21.2″ 12.7″ x 14.3″, and you can setup the speakers horizontally or vertically depending on your room. The speakers have the typical KRK look with two yellow-cone speakers — 4″ aramid-glass composite midrange and 10″ aramid-glass composite woofer. The monitor also features a soft-dome tweeter and a back-lit logo that indicates the speaker is on. The monitor has the exact same design as the other Rokit speakers, which constitute the budget series in KRK's product range. In fact, in spite of the three-way design, the 10-3 are very affordable: $500! Few manufacturers offer three-way systems in this price category and we hail KRK's initiative.
The rear panel offers no surprises: you get a pair of shelf filters to adjust both high and low-frequency ranges (+/-2dB @ 300Hz and -2/+1dB @ 5kHz). The speakers also feature a sub-filter (30Hz) and a volume control (-30/+6dB). The bass port is placed on the rear panel, which is a good thing, even if the manufacturer recommends to place the speakers at least 3 ft away from the nearest wall. The connections are comprehensive enough: balanced XLR and 1/4″ jacks plus an unbalanced RCA input. Unfortunately, the power switch is placed on the rear panel, as is generally the case with most budget monitor speakers.
The 10-3 are real three-way active monitors with three class AB amps: 80 watts for the woofer, 2×30 watts for both the midrange and the tweeter. The crossover frequencies are set to 350Hz and 3.5kHz.
Now let's take a closer look…
Three-way studio speakers with a 10″ woofer for $500 — very rare! This KRKs are designed for people who want a speaker reaching low frequencies down to 30Hz and have enough space in their home studio to set them up properly. Faultless look and sturdiness: the manufacturer has proven its skills in the past. We like the comprehensive connectivity and the rotatable tweeter/midrange baffle that allows you to set up the speakers either horizontally or vertically. As for sound, we were surprised by the low-frequency response, which we expected to be more emphasized due to the 10″ woofer. In fact, the response stays flat and authentic. The only disadvantage is the uneven high-frequency range including an attenuation at 3.5kHz and a boost at 6kHz. However, you can partly solve the problem with the high-shelf filter on the rear panel. For $500, the KRK Rokit 10-3 are definitely an appealing product. Just make sure your monitor stands can withstand such a load and watch out for backaches when you set them up!
- Price considering it's a three-way speaker…
- … Actually reaching down to 30 Hz
- Manufacturing quality and sturdiness
- XLR, 1/4″ jack and RCA input connectors
- Can be used as near-fields
- Horizontal and vertical setup
- 3.5kHz attenuation and 6kHz boost
- Very heavy and bulky
- On/off switch on the rear side

I generally like simpler fonts but am open to others. I want to create a strong, clean, professional look so no fonts like Mistral please.
The logo itself can be more fun or abstract, figurative or not. My personality and bedside manner is very fun (see: thepindoctorshow.com). Our new office is in a funky converted garage turned loft. So, something unusual is fine.
I like bold contrasting colors. Eye catching, like soccer and cycling clothes. Red and Blue seems to be in my mind. But I also like orange shades with red. We have a theme of a checker pattern that we have used on our wall (deep red and copper--based on a Japanese screen)
Interested in branding the whole package so I'd be open to working with winning designer for more than logo.
- Item 1...
- Logo should feature the words: Athlete Repair Service; perhaps a version with Athlete Repair Service.com. Would be great if the logo could stand alone as well (without text) but that is secondary.
- As mentioned above, bold colors, I especially like the visual contrast of royal blue and red. Sporty like soccer/cycling clothes, yet simple. Nothing too intricate.
- I mentioned a checkered pattern but please don't feel stuck on that idea. Dots, stripes, chevrons, or none of these...
Wacky, hard to read fonts like Mistral, etc.
We're an edgy business of alternative medicine working with half-crazy athletes, so nothing that says safe suburban healthcare. I think many designs with athletic figures in silouette have this feel. We do not want that.

NetFlow network monitoring tools go with the 'flow'
Network monitoring tool makers are again hyping the use of NetFlow data, promising better network and applications visibility.
Network monitoring tool makers have recently touted the addition of NetFlow technology to their wares, despite the fact that the technology has been around for several years.
Within the past month, folks like Netreo and Network General have made key product announcements surrounding their forays into NetFlow, a data collection feature built into routers and switches by Cisco and others. Apparent Networks, Coradiant, NetQoS, NetScout, Network Physics and others have been preaching the benefits of flow data for months -- in some cases, years.
Network monitoring, in general, determines whether network devices are working properly and whether packets are traversing the network at an acceptable speed. Adding NetFlow data to the mix allows networking admins to determine packet round-trip time, and loss and delay, while also showing how well applications and services are being delivered. The new tools monitor flow data, which is tied to specific applications for flow-based network monitoring.
According to Yankee Group senior vice president Zeus Kerravala, the addition of flow-based monitoring, despite its wide availability for some time now, illustrates a shift in the way networking pros want to monitor their networks and what information they want from the tools they use.
"What you're seeing is a drive for network management vendors to not just tell you that there's a problem but actually tell you what the problem is and then help you solve it," Kerravala said.
He estimated that roughly 90% of troubleshooting time is spent isolating a problem, and the use of flow metrics can chop that time to fractions.
"More intelligent management systems can cut the mean time to identification way down," he said. "So use of NetFlow can provide more intelligence."
Last month, Netreo released the latest version of its OmniCenter monitoring tools with the addition of NetFlow analysis, dubbed OmniCenter Flow. Netreo CEO Kevin Kinsey said the addition of NetFlow traffic monitoring lets IT gain visibility into network traffic patterns, tweak infrastructure, allocate resource and costs, and monitor traffic volumes.
OmniCenter Flow is made in appliance and Software-as-a-Service form.
According to Jon Friese, senior network specialist at Mitsubishi Motors, the ability to see flow traffic has given better insight into how his network is running, but it can often be complicated.
"NetFlow monitoring offers a lot of value for our IT organization, but it can be a tremendous hassle to deploy and manage," Friese said.
For the past few months, he said, Mitsubishi has used OmniCenter Flow.
"NetFlow is so verbose it's often difficult to readily identify the data we need," he said. "We were looking for something that would give us a clear view into our network traffic yet be easy to install and virtually maintenance and admin free."
Kinsey said the goal of OmniCenter Flow is to add a level of simplicity that was lacking from other NetFlow network monitoring tools. He said that in many instances, networking pros are confronted with interface and data overload.
OmniCenter Flow is controlled through an AJAX-enabled Web interface, and metrics are offered in graphical reports. Users can define criteria to visualize certain applications, sites, subnets, interfaces, conversations and user-traffic volumes. Using site-based reporting gives visibility to remote location traffic and applications, while long-term trending graphs can show the mix of applications over time, with a three-year history.
Mitsubishi's Friese said he uses NetFlow monitoring daily to find bottlenecks and investigate bandwidth issues. In a short time, he was surprised to see in detail the traffic on his network.
"There's a lot more Microsoft network traffic than I thought," he said. "Why are some machines broadcasting that shouldn't be."
Friese said that being able to see spikes on an interface and the traffic on certain VLANs and subnets helps him find problems. He can also pinpoint traffic by user or application, or by using other metrics.
"It brings things to light," he said, adding that he can use historical comparisons to determine whether or not a traffic spike should be occurring. For example, at the end of the month, servers and interfaces are "really getting pumped," but if that level of activity happens at the beginning of the month, he said, he knows there's some kind of trouble. "Is this a normal spike or an abnormal spike?"
Network General last month also integrated NetFlow data into its network architecture, networkDNA, to aggregate network info from various vendor data sources. The vendor also released new APIs for its NetVigil and Visualizer lines for access to application and network performance data by pulling information from its networkDNA performance management database (PMDB).
NetFlow data added to the PMDB can be compared with business-level IT service availability and performance using baselines and trends, allowing a single workflow for monitoring and managing data but also giving IT a solid understanding of application and network performance relationships across the infrastructure.
James Messer, Network General's director of technology marketing, said the ability to interpret NetFlow gives insight into application performance. It provides a context for isolating and solving capacity-related issues without the complexity of managing varied sources of flow data. Users can review historical performance, find patterns, analyze anomalous trends, and better predict future network and application behavior, he said.
Kevin Watts, manager of voice and data services for the University of Alberta, said, "NetFlow delivers the granular information needed, allowing me to see how various applications impact my network performance as a whole."
Kerravala concluded that this visibility and granularity is essentially what networking pros are looking for when they turn to flow-based data.
"You can see down to a flow level," he said. "So you can get the same level of info as agent-based systems without the agents."

German Court Recognizes That An Internet Connection Is Now Indispensable For Modern Life
from the and-that-it's-rather-wonderful dept
The German Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe has acknowledged that an Internet connection is indispensable for life in the modern world, and that being cut off for several months deserves monetary compensation per day for the knock-on losses that inevitably causes:
The plaintiff was erroneously disconnected and demanded that the unnamed telecommunications company pay for costs that incurred in switching to a new provider. The plaintiff also demanded compensation of [about $67] per day for the period his was unable to use his DSL, fax over IP and VoIP services, according to the court.
The court's reasoning for the award is worth reading for its wide-eyed enthusiasm that is reminiscent of the early days of the Web (original in German):
The Federal Court, however, awarded compensation only for loss of the internet connection. Compensation for the loss of a fax connection was denied because a fax only enables the user to send text and images faster than conventional mail and the technology is increasingly becoming irrelevant due to the rise of alternatives such as email, the court ruled.
Being able to use the Internet is an economic benefit whose continuous availability, even in the private sector, has for a long time been crucially important for a person's standard of living. The Internet makes available global information in the form of text, image, video and audio files. Thematically, almost all areas are covered and the most varied quality requirements satisfied. For example, light entertainment files are as readily available as information on everyday issues or highly academic subjects. Because of this easy availability, more and more the Internet is replacing other media, such as encyclopedias, magazines or television. It also allows global exchanges between its users, for example via e-mail, forums, blogs and social networks. In addition, it is increasingly used for the initiation and conclusion of contracts, for serving legal instruments and fulfilling public service obligations. The overwhelming majority of people living in Germany use the Internet on a daily basis. As a result, it has developed into a decisively important medium for the lifestyle of a large part of the population, and one whose failure has a significant impact on everyday life.
It's great to see courts in Germany and elsewhere recognizing the central importance of the Internet to modern life -- not least because this necessarily implies that "three strikes"-type punishments that involve disconnection from it are totally disproportionate, and akin to cutting off someone's electricity or water supply for months or more.

You can imagine my kindergarten excitement when I found packages of 9 colorful, bouncy balls at target for 80% off in the summertime fun section! 9 balls for 40 cents! In my head I am thinking, "That's 80 cents for a whole class worth of "kindergarten sounveneirs"!
I look forward to "bouncing" through the year with you!
Just in case Target still has some balls you might be interested in, I thought I'd share the labels with you, too. You can either print them on shipping labels or on paper that can be taped or glued to the bags. Click here for the Bouncing Balls labels.

Acura TL Seat Issues
Hi, I've posted on here before but I was hoping for someone's help; I drive a base 08 TL and while I really like the car overall my biggest gripe is the seat comfort both front and rear; I have a severe chronic back problem and have had back surgeries; to me while the seats are very supportive laterally, they are too firm for my back and the lumbar cushions are too stiff/sticking out pushing right in on my lumbar spine causing me a lot of pain and discomfort while I'm trying to drive or sit in the car for any period of time; I've taken two bed pillows to put under my butt and back which have helped but they are too big and move around while I drive; I was wandering if anyone else has had this problem and if so could you recommend some kind of soft cushion that I could use to be more comfortable??
bobby420 Posts: 1Hi. I have back problems in my L5-S1 and had laminectomy done two years back.
Recently got 2009 Acura TL and I love the car except the seats.
Since last two weeks I have been using Acura and I got back pain.
I think it's the shape of seat. I have started using Lumbar Support (not the one built in seat but extra one that's like little round( cylindrical) pillow. I keep in in the bottom of seat back where so it support my lower lumbar tail bone area. It is helping me.
I'll see over time if that helps.
I have an '08 TL with Taupe interior. The driver seatback now has obvious wear marks with color and finish break thru. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?0
I have an '08 TL Moroccan Red Pearl exterior with a Taupe interior purchased in Feb. '08 that has been driven almost daily. I used the leather conditioner the Acura dealership recommended and have not experienced any significant discoloration or leather wear. I can see just a small outline in the seat back but would not consider this anything and is not noticeable unless you are really looking closely. The leather has turned a very slightly darker color overall, not just in any one spot (could be caused by the leather conditioner or the sun). The Acura dealership recommended using the leather cleaner everytime we cleaned the interior of the car which I have done most of the time but not every time.0
mr_clean007 Posts: 1I got my Acura TL in May 09. Since then, I have had pain in my lower legs. The side bolster of the seat cushion pushes up against the back of my leg causing pain. I complained to my Acura dealership. They said that no one else has ever complained. I bought a gel seat cushion to raise my legs off the seat. The pain is gone. However, it has been 4 months now and I have developed a pinched nerve in my back and intermitent numbness in my left leg. Going to physiotherapy now and switched with my wife for her car for a couple months to see if the symptoms go away. Problem gets worse the longer that I sit in the seat.0
I have scheduled an appointment with the dealer on 9/23. The Taupe color has definitely worn thru to what is now a yellowish white color; all texture is also gone. It is specific to just one area on the driver seatback just above the waist. I too use Acura approved leather conditioners on the interior on a weekly basis. I will update this post after my dealer appointment. I find it odd that after 14 months of ownership the seats are already failing.0
Please post your update as I am very interested what Acura says. My wife drives the 08 TL almost all the time so the wear on the seat may not be as noticeable as if I were driving it and getting in and out of the car everyday. Nonetheless, this was supposed to be premium leather in th e08 TL and should not have this problem. I still have a 88 Acura legend that the seat leather wore out in 10 years and I had a local upholstery shop replace the seat leather and it has laster another 11 years and the leather is still in very good condition.0
I definitely will keep you updated. I have already had two other warranty issues so far; both last month. A defective battery replacement and the hands free blue tooth quite working. When I brought the car in for the HFL problem, the very next customer behind me had the same problem with his car, some year, same model. Just that I would let you know. My car was produced in 2/2008. Take care.0
Interesting you mentioned HFL problems. We have started experiencing delays and echos when connecting to a call. Tried several cell phones with same problem. Deleted and reconfigured the cell phones with same problem. Dealer said it was a cellular service provider issue. Tried in another Acura and had no problems. I expect the HFL to go out soon. The GPS went out 6 months ago. There was a known problem with the GPS not turning off when you turned the car off that would drain the battery although that is one of many problems that would cause the battery to prematurely fail. Also my TL was made in 02/08 as well.0
Hello. I would definitely push for a new HFL unit from your dealer, especially when it's a warranty issue. They had to order my replacement, took about 3 days to arrive. There was always a delay with mine from day one. If I didn't sync my phone within 5 minutes of starting the car the HFL & phone would not connect. I just thought it was normal. A few months later I'd have to pair the phone / HFL weekly. The new HFL works flawlessly now. An immediate connection regardless of engine start up or after several minutes of driving. Never had that experience before. No more echos or missed calls either. At one point my dealer tried to blame the carrier too. I didn't buy it, pushed back and got my unit. My only suggestion would be for you to verify your phone compatibility with the TL. I'm sure you've gone to the link, but if not here it is: http://www.acura.com/handsfreelink.aspx
Good luck on your car as well, let's just hope this doesn't become the norm with our model build. I think I'll have my GPS checked while my car is in on Wednesday. Thank you for the tip.0
Good news. The dealer took one look at the seat and said that they will order a new seatback skin. I would keep an eye on your seats just in case. My seats started out as dark coloring on the leather, then it progressed to breakthru / failure.0
ksellis Posts: 2We bought a '08 Acura. At about 4 monts old we started to have issues with the seats.
The front leather seats started to wear/tear abnormally. This has occurred on both front seats. On the side upper panel closest to the door.
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything like this??
I am experiencing the same problem as well. Mine started after 14 months of ownership. The dealer is replacing the drivers side upper seatback skin. In my opinion this should not be happening on Honda's Acura brand. I am currently on a 3 year lease with about 20 months left. I was planning on keeping the car, but now I'm having concerns. In August of this year the battery had to be replaced and the HFL unit failed as well, My model was built in 2/08.0

On June 2, 2011, Schrems e-mailed Facebook with his formal "personal data request." Six days after sending the message, a User Operations employee who only went by "Reggie" first responded by accusing Schrems of submitting a fake ID; later, Reggie attached a file with some of Schrems' personal data.
Schrems responded forcefully:
I am very sorry to trouble you further, but I am convinced that this is not ALL data that Facebook holds about me. To give you some examples: There must be tons of meta‐data that is used to e.g. target advertisement, rank the appearance of content on my "news feed". There must be a detailed list of all visits and interactions with other users. There must be the Information that Facebook calls the "social graph" and that is way more intense than the mere connections between users. Attached you find a rough list of data that Facebook is very likely to hold about me. Note: My access request is not limited to these kinds of data! The fact that this PDF was not all data the Facebook holds can even be seen when reading your privacy policy.
In a series of e-mails between Schrems and Reggie, which Schrems provided to Ars, Facebook eventually agreed to send more data. The company mailed Schrems a CD containing a PDF of more than 1,000 pages of raw private data concerning Schrems' activities on the site.
When Schrems expanded his personal quest into a broader public campaign last year, he encouraged people to follow his lead. So far, over 40,000 people have followed Europe vs. Facebook's guidelines and made similar requests—but few got the detailed data provided to Schrems. Instead, many have been pointed to Facebook's data download tool, which only produces some data.
"As soon as the big round [of people came, Facebook] stopped giving access to the raw data," Schrems said. "If you don't give out the raw data, it's not credible anymore."
So, following Schrems' instructions, many users complained to the Irish ODPC, saying that Facebook wasn't honoring the "right of access" to personal data. The ODPC was soon flooded with such requests.
An Irish audit
In late December 2011, the Irish authorities produced an initial Facebook privacy audit, which did not address all of the formal complaints that had been filed. By February 2012, Schrems and his cohorts had meetings in Vienna with Facebook that he felt were unsatisfactory. In the summer of 2012, Facebook put a new worldwide user policy to a user vote, but only half of one percent of its total global user base actually voted. Europe vs. Facebook called the exercise "a farce."
In September 2012, the Irish ODPC released a second report finding that the "great majority of the recommendations [it made earlier] have been fully implemented to the satisfaction of this Office." Schrems and his colleagues were not satisfied with this conclusion and hoped to press ODPC to go even further. They noted that a formal appeal through Irish legal channels would require "financial support for the court costs."
"I love social networking. I'm just not sure that Facebook should be the one running it."
Gary Davis, the ODPC's deputy data protection commissioner, told Ars that he has been satisfied with the actions that both his office and Facebook have taken thus far, and he says that he meets regularly with Facebook officials in Dublin and Brussels. He noted that once Facebook declared its global headquarters to be in Ireland back in 2010, "our engagement began to ratchet up."
"We identified that we were going to need to audit them as we audit organizations, we do about 30 [audits] a year," he said. "We were already along the road of engagement to them, using the very strong powers that we had. Nobody can stop me when I walk in the door from looking at whatever I want to look at so long as it pertains to personal data. People cannot stop us from anything we want to do."
Over the course of the past year, Davis said that fully one-third of his professional hours have been spent on the Facebook case. Despite pressure to reduce the size of the Irish public sector, Davis said that the government has recognized the useful work his team is doing and that his 21 employees will likely be increased to 35 by the end of next year.
While Schrems' work was a useful public prod on the issue of Facebook and user privacy, Davis emphasized that his office was already looking into Facebook's corporate practices by the time Schrems came along.
"It's a bit unfortunate to classify our engagement as solely focused on his complaints," Davis said. "His complaints were useful as public interest research."
What comes next largely depends on how Schrems decides to proceed.
"I'm waiting to hear from Max," Davis said. "He needs to tell me which complaints he wants decisions on. We get thousands of complaints a year. Most are resolved by [the target company or entity] taking certain action. It's only last year out of 1,200—only in 16 cases did a data subject complain and say, 'I want a decision.' That's a decision within the hands of the complainant. I have to wait for Max to say which of the ones he wants decisions on."
Still, Davis doesn't see his primary job as punishing Facebook. Rather, he wants to help the company comply with the law.
"The culture of Ireland of policing is that our police force don't carry guns," he said. "They enforce the law by consensus. They encourage people and they have the support of the people. Other countries use guns to encourage people to comply with the law. We just don't do that here in Ireland. We encourage people to comply with the law. We explain with awareness and information and if they don't comply then we take enforcement action."
Davis expressed confidence that his office had been upholding its mandate and was working with Facebook effectively to change its corporate practices.
"I think we're an effective enforcement authority," he added. "When we bring prosecution—and we bring hundreds a year, which is [mostly for] direct electronic marketing—we operate a two strikes policy. You break the law, we tell you how and how you can improve, and if you do it again we prosecute you."
Who owns your data?
Irish legal scholars have been fairly impressed with Schrems' tenacity so far, and they say that the Facebook case could solve a fundamental question that will have significant impact across the continent: who actually owns personal data?
"The philosophical difference, as I see it, is that Facebook believes that once they get the data, and if they are compliant, it is their data," Eoin O'Dell, an Irish law professor at Trinity College Dublin, told Ars. "The argument on the part of the advocates is a stronger claim that privacy rights require the data protection regime to accept that the data continues to be the data of the user, and not Facebook's data. There's the big philosophical, constitutional argument."
O'Dell acknowledges that it's a tall order for all of Schrems' appeals to make it to the European Court of Justice, however. Since the ODPC report has cleared Facebook, Schrems has his work cut out for him.
"[Schrems] is now going to have to sue not only Facebook, but also the ODPC to say that it has imposed too low a threshold. That's a very, very hard standard to meet," said O'Dell. "There's a degree of discretion built into bodies and so long as they are taking reasonable judgements, courts are very slow [to overrule a decision]. What I'm saying is that it's a very important social strategy [in terms of public awareness], but on the legal side I think it's going to be very hard to win now that there has been significant engagement [from Facebook] with the ODPC and vice versa."
As for Schrems, he sees parallels with another European case against an American tech behemoth: Microsoft.
"We do have privacy laws which, by the letter of the law, are rather strict. In the end we're not really enforcing it right now—that's the politically interesting thing about the Facebook case. Do we really enforce that stuff? We did it in antitrust with Microsoft. To me it's an experiment; you have a win-win outcome. On the one hand, Facebook gets off the hook and that would be great, because then we have to change the law. Or [on the other hand] it's a landmark case, saying actually there is enforcement."
The case may drag on for years. As it does, however, the ODPC's Davis insists that his office will keep the pressure on Facebook.
"This is an ongoing brief—as long as Facebook is established in Ireland, we will be spending a lot of time with them," Davis said. "That's not to say that they're doing things deliberately wrong... but it's a site with a billion users."
After 18 months of battling Facebook over data privacy issues, how does Schrems feel about the company's core product?
"I love social networking," he told me. "I'm just not sure that Facebook should be the one running it."

Global study suggests need for strategies to combat unhealthy lifestyles among the poor and the rich: Hamilton researchers
Healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, proteins and total fats are consumed more often by the wealthy while poorer people consume more carbohydrates, says a new study involving people from 17 countries.
The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study involving 154,000 individuals from 628 communities reported on the patterns of diet, physical activity and smoking, was presented at the European Society of Cardiology 2012 Congress on Sunday, Aug. 26, 2012.
The study found individuals who were poor, or from poorer countries were more active chiefly because of higher energy expenditure in jobs, at home, and during transportation.
The markedly lower level of obligatory physical activity was not compensated for by higher levels of recreational physical activity in richer countries or richer individuals. Those who were rich and those in richer countries quit smoking much more often so that rates of smoking was lower in the wealthier individuals and wealthier countries.
"Policies to prevent cardiovascular disease need to focus on different aspects of lifestyle among the rich versus the poor and between rich and poor countries," said professor Salim Yusuf of the Population Health Research Institute, McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences and principal investigator of the study.
The study was conducted in 17 countries and coordinated worldwide by the Population Health Research Institute and supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Indian Council of Medical Research, several other peer review organizations and pharmaceutical companies.
"These results provide new insights into the need to customize prevention policies differently for the rich and the poor and for countries at different economic levels," said professor David Wood of the University of London, UK and an expert in cardiovascular disease prevention.

'Belle': Romance, Race And Slavery With Jane Austen Style
This is Tell Me More from NPR News, I'm Michel Martin. After the explosive violence of "Django Unchained" and the uncompromising intensity of last year's hit "Twelve Years a Slave", you might think you have seen all you care to for the moment, of films about slavery and the slave era. But now comes a very different type of film that might just change your mind. "Belle" is based on the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of a Captain in the Royal Navy and an enslaved African woman. As a child her father entrusts her to his uncle, the Lord Chief Justice and one of the most powerful men in the country.
MATTHEW GOODE: (As Captain Sir John Lindsay) I beg you uncle, love her as if I would if i were here and insure that she is in receipt in all that is due to her as a child of mine.
PENELOPE WILTON: (As Lady Mary Murray) Simply impossible.
GOODE: (As Captain Sir John Lindsay) What is right can never be impossible.
WILTON: (As Lady Mary Murray) She is black.
GOODE: (As Captain Sir John Lindsay) She is my blood.
WILTON: (As Lady Mary Murray) But she is black.
TOM WILKINSON: (As William Murray) A detail you chose not to share with us.
MARTIN: Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays the grown up Dido and she's been praised for capturing the contradictions of being both aristocratic and scorned, white and black, at a time when Britain was questioning the morality of the slave trade. And she is with us now to tell us more about the role. Thank you so much for joining us and congratulations on all.
GUGU MBATHA-RAW: Thank you, thanks for having me.
MARTIN: So is this one that you wanted to do or is this one that you had to be persuaded to do?
MBATHA-RAW: Oh, my gosh there was no persuasion necessary. This was definitely a role that I've known about for quite a long time and I was so happy to be able to bring Dido's story to the screen.
MARTIN: You know the whole genesis of the story is interesting in and of itself, it's inspired by a portrait of Dido and her cousin Elizabeth that was commissioned by her uncle, the Earl of Mansfield, who was a leading opponent of slavery. And for years people have looked at this portrait and debated what the relationships were and the quality between them and the obvious, you know, affection between them and kind of thought about what it meant. And so now to have it sort of come to life. What is it that attracted you to it?
MBATHA-RAW: So many things. For me, you know, I saw a postcard of the painting several years ago when I initially met the producer Damian Jones for a completely different project. And he told me about Dido, and I had never heard of her and I just thought this was crazy. And I was like wow, as a biracial woman, you know in the 21st century not to know that this girl really existed. And once I saw this dual portrait of Dido on the one hand and her cousin Elizabeth on the other and how much affection you see, you know, between the two of them and also Dido, you know, for the period having this very very for vivacious facial expression and bright eyed look directly out to the viewer, I thought it was so intriguing to know that she was a real girl that existed at that time. It really inspired my imagination and the filmmakers too.
MARTIN: Well, its set in a world that is familiar to people who are fans of Jane Austen and also people who are fans of period dramas. I wonder as a young actress, coming along did you ever think that you would have a role in a period drama set in this era? Was that even something that was part of your mind, you know, when you're thinking about your career.
MBATHA-RAW: Yeah, it's funny because I was absolutely brought up on the, you know, Jane Austen adaptations. You know the "Pride and Prejudice" with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ely was something I watched on a weekly basis with my mom at home at Oxfordshire growing up. And I think to me it's weird because like Dido I sort of thought, well why can't I be in something like this, not really understanding how the world works and how historically these period adaptations do not showcase a mixed race heroine in the lead and as I said it wasn't until I sort of went through my broader training and saw so many of my peers going off to do the Downton Abbeys of this world and the Dickens and the Austen adaptations and just realizing that I was never getting the call from my agent to audition for those.
MARTIN: Well, no, seriously, but talk about it. We're speaking about it in a very light hearted way, but let's talk about that. You are trained as well as anyone of your generation, in the same way as your peers and I want to know what that's like. To sort of reach a point where, that's a whole path for British actors and actresses and even Americans get on it from time to time right and to sort of have a talk with yourself. It seems like the kind of talk that Martin Luther King talked about, where having to have the talk with your children of the things they could not do. I mean I wonder what that was like. I mean did you even think about it?
MBATHA-RAW: I mean I never really conceived that it was something I could not do. I guess, I always felt people weren't ready for it yet, (laughing) but I never actually doubted that it wasn't something that ultimately, eventually was going to be a possibility for me. I actually genuinely never doubted it. I think I always felt like everyone had to catch up and I don't mean that in an arrogant way at all. I just mean that coming from a Shakespearean tradition and you know, having done all these roles like I Juliet and Ophelia on stage and feeling incredibly well prepared for it. I deftly just thought it was a matter of time and having the pieces to fit together.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, I'm speaking with Gugu Mbatha-Raw star of the film "Belle." Well, speaking - that whole question of what one can and can not do is very essential right, to the story in a way that is, subtle isn't right at all, but it does provide such a contrast to the other things that we have been seeing, I think that people are grateful to see about that era. But just the day to dayness of it is something that this brings vividly forward. And I just want to play a short clip, I mean, this is a clip of you speaking to your potential love interest played by Sam Reid. His name is John Davinier in the film and he's the son of a clergyman. And here it is.
SAM REID: (As John Davinier) Permit me to ask. Why do you not dine with your family ever?
MBATHA-RAW: (As Dido Elizabeth Belle) That is not correct.
REID: (As John Davinier) Forgive me, but twice now I have seen you separated from the gathering. I am confounded.
MBATHA-RAW: (As Dido Elizabeth Belle) And, well, you might be when the son of clergy is permitted to the table before the lady of the house.
REID: (As John Davinier) Is that a reminder of my place Miss Lindsay?
MBATHA-RAW: (As Dido Elizabeth Belle) No. It is a statement of mine.
MARTIN: Amplify this a bit if you would. What - describe the situation.
MBATHA-RAW: In that scene Dido, you know, she's brought up and unlike many depictions of women of color that we have seen to date she is a woman of privilege a woman of status. But the ambiguity of her position is that there are certain rules, social conventions if you will, dictates that she is not allowed to completely be treated equally in the household. So when guests come for dinner she is too high to dine with the servants but too low to dine the family and its this ambiguous position, which when we enter the film is her coming of age that she's really questioning. Hang on a minute. Why am I not allowed these equalities? And we do really deal with the nuances of racism and equality in high society.
It's not a, quote-unquote, "slave movie." There are no slaves in the movie even though Dido's mother is a slave. We're dealing with a society that benefited from the slave trade and in a strange way that Genteel aristocratic world, you know, that brushes under the rug the ugliness of what they're really capitalizing on and Dido is somewhat caught in the middle and having to find her true self within it and really be centered in a strong sense of self as she's kind of pulled in different directions.
MARTIN: The other thing the film does, it forces people to think about things that are underneath the veneer of gentility and you know the beauty and the costumes and stuff and what really supports all that. But the other comment that it makes is about what it does mean to have power and who has it and who really doesn't have it. And any body who is a fan of stories from this era recognizes the importance of marriage to the future to young women. This is a central theme in so much literature. Dido's father left her an inheritance, so technically doesn't have to get married to survive economically. So here's a clip of Dido's cousin who's played by Sarah Gadon and she's pointing out their different fortunes even though technically Elizabeth is better off lets say. Here it is.
SARAH GADON: (As Lady Elizabeth Murray) Aren't you quietly relieved? That you shan't be at the caprice of some silly sir and his Fortune? The rest of us haven't the choice. Not a chance of inheritance if we have brothers and forbidden from any activities that allows us to support ourselves. We are but their property.
MARTIN: Well, what about that? How does that strike you? Interesting isn't it.
MBATHA-RAW: Yeah and it really is fascinating because, you know, obviously the marriage market was very aggressive at that period and you have the issue of gender and the woman's role in society. And the fact that Dido is in this unique position, in a way that she has his inheritance, she can actually marry for love (laughing) which you know never happened, these marriages were political alliances within families at the time and you had to secure your fortune and your bread and butter. And Dido doesn't need that but at the same time she's also a exoticzied by men in her society. People don't really know how to respond to her. And she still has to deal with being a human being at the end of it all and being comfortable with herself. And I think you know one of the most inspiring messages about the film is that, it does start within. And she goes on this massive journey to become a woman who has the courage to stand up for who she is and what she believes in.
MARTIN: What do you think this film does? Many people are making the comparison to "12 Years A Slave" and this film is so different in the way feels and moves and so forth, but there is that uncomfortableness of telling the truth. obviously one of the things that "12 Years A Slave" did was bring the brutality of it home. I mean you weren't raised in this country but I can tell you that a lot of people in this country like this idea of slavery, of being a sort of a sweaty form of employment you know. Just like people were, just like a member of the family. People love that story. So one of the things that "12 years a Slave" did was tell you what it is like to be owned. What you think this film does?
MBATHA-RAW: Well, as "12 Years A Slave" so powerfully depicted the experience of being a slave in America, what "Belle" can bring to the table is the fact that it's from the British perspective. And not only the British perspective but from a woman's perspective and not just a woman's perspective but a woman of mixed heritage, who's mother was a slave whose father was in the aristocracy. So the layers of complexity are very different and I think that it's a voice that really hasn't been heard before.
I think a lot of people assume that slavery is something that just went on in America, but actually to understand this whole system, that was masterminded in the laws that actually allowed slavery to take place. So you know it's the whole balance of the world in which slavery existed and the world in which people you know benefited from it, but pretended (Laughing) that it wasn't part of their society.
MARTIN: Do you mind that I point out that your father is South African and your mom is English.
MBATHA-RAW: Yes, that's right.
MARTIN: Was there any part of this story that kind of particularly touched you? And your own history. Knowing nothing of you and how you're raised and how you even talked about, the thought about race as a child. Is there a part of the story that resonated with you, that you wouldn't mind sharing?
MBATHA-RAW: Yeah, on many levels. I mean for me I have to say I think I very fortunate growing up in a rural town in West Oxfordshire. I was certainly in the minority, but I never felt discriminated against. A felt protected and in free to be myself and you know I certainly relate to the character on many levels as I say being biracial myself, you know, I am biracial every day even though not every character that I play specifically deals with the themes of being biracial and being of mixed heritage.
But for me I really related to where Dido ends up at the end of the film which is to me what I aspire to as not just an actress but as a human being. In that you know, you have to try and follow your instincts and you know not let society dictate who you should be. Do you have to accept these labels or can you challenge them and be your true self. And that's somethign on a personal level that I strive to achieve in my work and in my life.
MARTIN: Gugu Mbatha-Raw is the star of the film "Belle" which is in theaters across the country now. she was kind enough to join us from NPR West which is in Culver City, Calif. Thank you so much for speaking with us.
MBATHA-RAW: Thank you for having me.
