Looking back to the poster, I don't think Blood Orange, Teebs, Blu & Exile, or Q-Tip have been mentioned extensively or at all on the boards (as rumors). There are others as well.
Was this poster made after the Austin Psych Fest Lineup was announced? I can't remember...
Just because a poster has artists that haven't been mentioned before on the board, doesn't mean someone has "inside info"

On the discussion of tomahawk they do have an album coming out dec 7th I think and are going to start touring so I could see why they would be rumored and hopefully confirmed really need to see that
Culture Club was a name thrown around that's not on the poster. As were Iggy & The Stooges.
That fake poster had a weird lack of anything pre-1990 beyond some DCD tracks and if Marr does anything Smiths.

I made a speculation list and got down to ±40 names now: http://sereconnectingdots.tumblr.com...up-super-guess
Interesting list. Portishead, Alanis Morissette and the Libertines caught my eye. Why them? And would they even let Pete Doherty in the country at this point or is that not an issue anymore?
edit: I don't see the Strokes or Patti Smith happening, must add.

One thing that stuck out from Mike Grehan's Clickz article, Goodbye, SEO Push. Hello, SEO Pull, was when he talked about the "buzz factor".
"Marketing equals buzz, which equals awareness, which leads to consumer demand."
Creating buzz doesn't have to cost a lot of money, nor take much talent either.
For example, when I mentioned the garlic BBQ sauce sold by a client, his traffic and sales soared. He didn't have to pay me $50,000 for marketing or to play pin the tail on search engine algorithms. In fact, he hired me to help with conversions and he had the brilliance of mind to send me his product to sample. (Something I love when clients do, by the way! I'm crossing my fingers on the gazebo and massage chair next.)
Money shouldn't matter from the perspective of WANTING to help the client succeed. I, personally, put in as much passion and effort for a "mom and pop job" as I do for the top sites on the web.
Anyway, like I said, the money you are paid "shouldn't" matter to the results, but as evidenced by his article, blog and the various blog discussons elsewhere on it, money and skills matter a lot.
Mike noted in his blog piece, Not the sandbox, again!
"How could anyone in this business take on a client, tell them not to expect any results for a possible nine months AND expect to be paid?"
I laughed out loud. All I can think of is Yahoo!.
I clearly recall the dinner meeting with a book author client who wanted a brand new site built and registered with Yahoo!. She was clueless about everything Internet. I explained to her that I would be submitting her site to Yahoo!'s Directory (this was a few years back), and though I knew what I was doing, there was still no guarantee her site would be accepted and if it did not, Yahoo!'s policy was such that she wouldn't be getting her money back!
If looks could kill, I'd be dead right now.
But this is what Mike's remark reminded me of. We expect immediate gratification and we'll pay handsomely for it.
A company like the kind Mike is Director for can do a lot. They have more resources, more staff, more expertise. They can wield the Golden Sword because they know how to ride a horse and fling that thing without killing anybody.
However, I came away from Mike's Clickz article with a concern for those who work for small businesses on much smaller budgets. I'd hate to say to someone, "Sorry, you can't afford me. You have no choice but to suck in search engines."
The skillsets needed to do the job have changed. Mike has been saying, all along, quit whining and learn them.
And all I'm saying is, "Apply these skills in good faith to anybody who hires you."

Boone County —
Though the county park tax was zeroed out from the county's budget at Monday's Boone County Council meeting, the parks will see no decrease in funding from the county next year.
While the levy was removed from the budget, the council voted to replace that money with a $100,000 budget line from the food and beverage fund.
The issue was a point of heavy contention at Monday's council meeting. Laurie Gross, president of the Lebanon Department of Parks board, requested that the council put the county park tax back into its budget for 2013. But Councilman David Rodgers said he didn't even know whether the tax had been eliminated from the budget.
The council had decided to eliminate the tax during budget hearings last month, but some council members did not agree with the decision.
"I didn't ever think the park levy tax should be taken out," said Councilwoman Debby Shubert. "I'd like it to be put back in."

Protecting Parents from Workplace Discrimination

Protecting Parents from Workplace Discrimination
In Today's Dispatch:
Protecting Parents from Workplace Discrimination
We may say as a country that we value families and mothers, but a rise in job discrimination complaints by moms highlights how far most workplaces are from that ideal. Yesterday, to help clarify the responsibilities of employers, the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued new guidelines on what kinds of discrimination against parents is illegal.
Under federal law, the guidelines explain, an employer cannot encourage career advancement for men with children, while denying promotions to women with children or otherwise stereotyping working women with children as less able to cope than their male counterparts.
But here's the sad and somewhat shocking part. Nothing in federal law stops an employer from discriminating against parents generally:
While many states prohibit discrimination based on marital status, only Alaska and the District of Columbia explicitly protect parents as a class from discrimination in the workplace. Pennsylvania is considering a bill to ban discrimination based on "familial status" as well as "marital status." A key way to stop discrimination against parents, especially moms, is to bar employers from even asking in interviews whether an applicant is married or has kids, an important provision of the proposed Pennsylvania law patterned on other states which bar such questions. MomsRising is focusing national attention on the campaign with a petition in support of the Pennsylvania bill, a step to bringing greater consciousness of the problem to states around the country.
Union Construction Jobs offer a Way out of Gang Life
With nearly 650,000 people released from state and federal prison every year, programs need to be available to support reentry into society. Faced with a shortage of members, the building-trades unions of California have begun recruiting for apprenticeship programs in communities of color where many young men have criminal pasts.
With its new program, the building trades unions in California are redefining the word "gang". Over the last decade, the construction boom has resulted in a large number of good-paying jobs and those jobs are being filled by a large and growing number of Southern California's former gang members. Whereas union jobs were once reserved for those with family connections, now former gang members are recruiting other gang members out of a life of crime. As one apprentice said, "this is our gang now, in a positive way, though." For individuals with a prison record, the building trades were one of the only places that accepted them.
Prison Training Programs: Such union-based programs can be especially effective in conjunction with prison rehabilitation programs like the Illinois Building Homes: Rebuilding Lives program, where that state's Department of Corrections has created classes to train prisoners in the construction trades, giving them an opportunity to build homes for low-income families in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Michigan and Minnesota have similar programs working with Habitat for Humanity. Minnesota in particular has a well-developed relationship between the State Department of Corrections and the local building trades unions, who provide journeyman foreman crew leaders to supervise and train offenders on these building projects. Such programs provide prisoners training that will help them in seeking jobs in the private sector upon reentry after their sentences are finished.
Funding Pre-Apprenticeship Training: States and local governments can fund programs to help provide ex-prisoners with any missing skills needed to qualify for union apprenticeship programs. For example, Washington D.C. enacted legislation that requires employers receiving contract awards from the District to establish apprenticeship programs for community members. To ensure that District residents gained the educational foundation and workplace skills needed to qualify for the apprenticeships, the District negotiated special pre-apprenticeship programs with five local unions, a program that benefits a range of ex-prisoners and at-risk youth in those communities.
Integrating prisoner training into union apprenticeship and recruitment strategies is a documented strategy for reducing recidivism and decreasing gang activity by giving ex-offenders the opportunity of decent paying jobs with benefits.
Extending Civil Rights to Gay Citizens
This session, the Iowa legislature broke a long standing stalemate and added sexual orientation to its civil rights laws. SF 427 makes it illegal to discriminate in employment, public accomodation, credit, housing and education based on a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. In passing the bill, the Iowa legislature simply extended the protections they offer to everyone else to gay and transgender citizens. As House Democratic Leader Kevin McCarthy said, "This was not some sort of liberal social agenda. This is just saying that under housing and employment, people shouldn't be discriminated against because of their real or perceived sexual orientation."
Oregon and Colorado also enacted bills barring anti-gay discrimination this session. Oregon Governor Kulongoski signed Oregon's law, having first introduced a equal rights bill as a legislator himself back in 1975 and waiting over thirty years to finally see the bill enacted into law.
With the addition of Iowa, Oregon and Colorado, 18 states now ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Iowa's new law also protects against discrimination based on gender identity, an important protection for transgender individuals, and a protection currently offered by only 11 states. Vermont just approved changes to its anti-discrimination law, which has banned anti-gay discrimination since 1991, to also ban gender identity discrimination.
Research Roundup
Research Roundup
In a new report, Restoring Prosperity, the Brookings Institution highlights how states can contribute to revitalizing older industrial cities by capitalizing on existing assets like transit systems and universities. By encouraging reinvestment in those assets to modernize them and encouraging retraining of residents, states can restore these cities as engines of regional economic growth.
How much does the US value children compared to other countries? Not much according to Compensating for Birth and Adoption by the Urban Institute, which finds that whereas governments in most developed nations spend an average of 1.6 to 1.9 percent of GDP on family programs like family leave and health care for mothers and children, government spending on family expenditures in the United States is only 0.7% of GDP.
In The SCHIP Shortfall Crisis: Ramifications for Minority Children, the Center for American Progress warns that the lack of federal funding is leaving many states with shortfalls in paying for children's health care-- and that large portions of those left uninsured will be children of color if funding is not found.
In a new report, the Urban Institute highlights a number of programs designed to increase employment opportunities for low-income workers. One key approach in many successful programs is to link programs targetting former and current TANF recipients with the broader population through partnerships with public and private sector organizations.
As universities work to patent and license their on-campus research, both to increase revenue and build job-creation strategies in surrounding communities, Stanford Professor Mark Lemley has written a paper highlighting the costs of aggressive university patenting in undermining technological innovation when they engage in exclusive licensing. His paper argues that university policies should encourage the broadest social impact, not merely the maximum licensing revenue as their goal. His paper follows on a similar study by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

Eye on the Right
This past week, the long and sordid story of the ironically named American Center for Voting Rights came to an end. For years, the ostensibly non-partisan ACVR served as the primary propagator of right-wing misinformation that developed the myth of widespread voter fraud. The group's founders, heavily tied to the Bush Administration and working from an undisclosed location, used anecdotal evidence and innuendo to forward spurious claims of organized large-scale voter fraud by Democrats.
As the U.S. Attorney scandal has unfolded, a central feature has been the administration's baseless call for more voter fraud prosecutions, despite the DoJ having turned up "virtually no evidence of any organized effort."? One would expect an organization that had been so embarrassingly undermined to regroup, even scale back, but ACVR disintegrated outright. So great was the direct contradiction between the facts and their message that the organization has literally disappeared. Former staff have had their photos removed from other organizations websites, and have even removed ACVR from their own resumes - a sure sign of pride in one's work. Most appropriate of all, ACVR's domain names recently lapsed and were snapped up and redirected to sites exposing the late organizations misdeeds.

There she is, Mrs. Ohio America
Cynthia Rumball of Port Clinton sent me a note this week to announce that her niece, Shaylyn (Tewers) Ford of Columbus was recently crowned "Mrs. Ohio America 2014". She is the daughter of former Port Clinton resident Mark Tewers and granddaughter of Carolyn and the late Ron Tewers. Doesn't she look a lot like Cynthia? She will be competing in the Mrs. America 2014 Pageant in Tucson, Arizona on August 29.
We have received several very nice commendations, along with our friends at Suburban and Metro Press on the west end of Ottawa County, for Free Community Newspaper Month. In addition to resolutions from Port Clinton City Council and the Ottawa County Commissioners, we received notification of resolutions from Ohio Legislature, compliments of State Senator Randy Gardner, and also from Ohio Governor John Kasich and Lt. Governor Mary Taylor. For over 31 years (and a lot longer for Suburban Press) The Beacon has served an important function providing timely local information to our readers, with the emphasis on positive local news.

The Artists' Guide to the Linux Desktop—Part IV
The two previous articles in this series were focused on particular window managers: Enlightenment and Window Maker. I looked very closely at those two window managers because they epitomize the personalization that is possible in the Linux desktop. Unlike in the Mac or PC world, the look and feel of the Linux desktop can vary to the extreme. One Linux user's windowing interface need not look—or act—anything like anyone else's. The windowing interface you choose is like a big empty apartment. Not until you add the furniture and hang some pictures does it become a livable space. The kitchen is still a kitchen, but in Linux, it's your kitchen.
In this, the fourth and final part of the series, I'm going to take a quick look at some of the other, less well-known window managers available for Linux. Most of them have unique benefits over any other window manager—smaller memory footprints, more efficient code, better extensibility and so forth. They all look and behave slightly differently, although aside from AfterStep, none are designed with the graphical variety intended in both Enlightenment and Window Maker. That doesn't mean you don't want to consider them. On the contrary, there are definite situations in which you'll want to consider these alternatives, particularly if you do much work on a laptop.
URL: www.afterstep.org
Requirements: XPM, JPEG and PNG libraries are recommended, but these should already be on any recent Linux distribution.
Compliance: GNOME (partial), KDE (unknown)
Extras: if it runs on Window Maker, chances are good it runs with AfterStep, but it's not guaranteed.
When I originally started this series, I had planned on looking at AfterStep in the same thorough manner I looked at E and Window Maker. After doing some research, I discovered Window Maker and AfterStep are pretty much the same beast. Internally and politically they may differ, but from an end-user perspective they're very similar, so much that if you read the previous article, you're up to date with AfterStep.
Still, there are a few things I need to mention about this window manager. AfterStep adds a bar across the top of the display, similar to the task bar of GNOME and KDE. The bar actually shows up only when the first application has been started; after that, each application gets added to the bar. It allows you to jump to applications very quickly, although personally I don't particularly like these types of features.
AfterStep features can be enabled or disabled prior to compiling the software. The configure script has far more options than most of the other window managers. This allows you to turn off some features, hopefully slimming down the window manager for use on resource-limited systems. However, if you use the -prefix option, be aware that the "make install" process doesn't create the /bin and /man directories under the directory you specified—you'll have to do that manually.
Unlike Window Maker, AfterStep has a pager similar to FVWM's pager, which I like quite a bit. It appears to look and work much like the one I'm used to and is available in the default configuration. Although I probably won't switch to AfterStep (the icon features I disliked in Window Maker are also present in AfterStep), I am more curious about it now that I've found a reasonable pager.
URL: blackbox.alug.org
Requirements: none
Compliance: GNOME (no), KDE (partial)
Extras: BBPager, BBTime, various others; all available from the main Blackbox site. Supports Window Maker dock applications through the use of a built-in tool called the Slit.
Of all the window managers I tried, Blackbox is certainly the easiest to build and install. It needs no special libraries, has no special requirements and took only a minute or two to compile. Obviously, this will depend on your hardware configuration, but the point is, this is the slimmest, most streamlined window manager available. That also means it's the one with the fewest bells and whistles.
While most of the other window managers provide some form of pizzazz through icons or image handling, Blackbox provides nothing more than simple gradients. It does include a tool for placing background images on the root window, but that's about all the pizzazz you'll find here. Still, the implementation does include support for dockable applications from Window Maker, through a built-in function called the Slit. I didn't try this feature, since the point of Blackbox is to not add snazzy appearance. It's truly a window manager designed to provide a decent look with as small a memory footprint as possible. This makes Blackbox a likely candidate for use on laptops.
Like with most window managers, you have to edit text files to make changes to the root menu. This isn't a serious problem, however. A fairly complete description of the menu file format is available on-line, linked from the Blackbox web site.
Blackbox has a panel across the bottom of the screen which includes a clock, two sets of arrows for cycling through windows and desktops, and an area displaying the title from the window which currently has the keyboard focus. An additional tool, BBPager, is available which provides many of the same pager features that FVWM's and AfterStep's pagers do. Although the pager accepts standard -geometry settings to set its position on the screen, the panel appears to be forced to the bottom of the display. I'd like a way of changing that, to move it to the top or side of the display, but didn't see whether that was possible.
One thing Blackbox doesn't do is enforce edge resistance by default. Edge resistance lets you slide a window up against an edge of the display, but not past it without a little applied force. I like window managers that do this; I seldom use windows that span workspaces, but do like to butt windows up against the edge of the display.
In general, I like Blackbox; I just need to learn how to configure it properly.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Former Houston Astros star Craig Biggio led the pack with 68 percent of the vote, still seven percent shy of induction.
NEW YORK (AP) - Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa have been denied entry to baseball's Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades and eighth time ever.
Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote, Clemens 37.6 and Sosa 12.5 in totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the Baseball Writers' Association of America. They were appearing on the ballot for the first time and have up to 14 more years to make it to Cooperstown.

Inverter, power supply modules for servo drives
120 kW inverter module for Acoposmulti servo drives from B&R Industrial Automation, reduces start-up current values by 60%.
With the 120 kW module for Acoposmulti servo drives, B&R Industrial Automation provides inverters and power supply modules with maximum rated current values up to 165 A. The modules are offered for cold plate and feed-through mounting and also have two open slots that allow the use of various Acoposmulti plug-in cards.
Thanks to integrated power factor correction (PFC), start-up current values are reportedly reduced by up to 60%, which minimizes wire cross sections and the size of the fuses or circuit breakers required. The stabilized DC bus allows motors to be operated with identical characteristics all over the world and eliminates the need for upstream transformers. B and R states the ability to implement power regeneration results in energy savings of up to 50% because brake energy is actively fed back to the mains instead of being converted to heat.
With these advantages, the 120 kW devices fit seamlessly into the modular line of Acoposmulti series products and offer machine manufacturers many possibilities for optimizing their machine design.
- Wide input voltage range
- Capable of regeneration
- Integrated connection for temperature sensors
- 2 slots for ACOPOSmulti plug-in modules

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

I finally registered today after lurking around for about a while and I have a question regarding a good starting routine for an older (45 yrs old) first timer to gain a little size. Ive always been fairly thin at 5-8 and 164 lbs and Im looking to gain some upper body size.
I joined a gym at the first of the year after I quit smoking and for the last three months Ive been doing the Nautilus routine they suggested. It consists of a total body workout of 18 exercises on 16 machines, 2 sets of 15, every other day. So far Ive actually been pretty happy with the results. Im starting to tone up nicely. Im currently at 176 lbs and Im guessing half of the gain is stop smoking weight around my middle.
Now that Im actually enjoying lifting I might as well make my body look like I want it to. As I was reading the forums I kept seeing the same thing, if you want size, lift heavy. So for the last few weeks Ive been experimenting on the hammer strength machines with a couple of warm up sets, then 2 sets of 4-6 reps as heavy as I can with good form on a few on the major muscle groups.
Now that you have a little background here are the questions. Im think of splitting my routine to 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off because it seems it is taking me longer to recover on the muscle groups Im lifting heavy on. Does this make sense? Right now Im only doing it on bench, cable row, overhead press, triceps & biceps. And if I need to split what would be a good breakdown of which exercises on which days? Or am I completely way off track and need to rethink everything. Thanks
i think you would be much better off with a routine from the site...
these routines are simple and effective, i would start out with the WannaBeBig routine...
free weights are much better than machines, so try and stick with them instead...
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 140lbs June 2012
jmiller, read my blog. I'm the same age as you and I can assure you, what you want is within your grasp, but you are going to have to re-think the machine workouts. You started, and that's great - but it's time to get away from these contraptions and let your body move the way IT wants to, not the way the machines want you to.
Are you working legs at all?
I just glanced at your blog. I bookmarked it and will look again when I have a lot more time to spend. To answer your question, about a third of what they have me doing is legs. Thank you for the responses.
Built, thanks for the link. I've been reading a lot on there. I started the BGB routine tonight.
stick to free weight and the three compound lifts i myself am 45, started lifting at 44 and stuck to free weights our bodys dont respond quite as fast but still you will gain size. stick with it you will get there 5'9 193 bench 250 squat 265 deadlift 380
Thank you very much jmiller and hoot!
Well, okay - hyperbole. I'll be 45 in June.
And thanks!
In the medical field I seriously am always recommending weight training to older patients...now I have yet another reason to recommend your site.
So when are you gonna update the pics anyway?
I'm still in the figuring out stage of the routine. A lot of the exercises I've never done before so it is taking some time to get the proper amount of weight with correct form for the required number of sets. I'm almost ready, so the 14th will be the actual start date when I can just go and lift.
Thanks again Built. I've spent so much time reading your blog. I think I've finally got a handle on the diet now too.
i think you could also greatly benefit from a full body routine that has your squat frequency higher... 2-3x per week.
Wait...I just now noticed you were from the Ky...

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has been awarded about $7 million from the Department of Homeland Security to install buses with live video technology, according to CBS Boston.
The technology includes new 360-degree lenses embedded the ceilings and walls of the MBTA buses to capture everything while buses are en route to various destinations, with some buses to include flat screens for passengers to see what is happening, according to the report.
With a cost of $6.9 million, the new system is to be paid for by Homeland Security, and about 10 buses currently have the new technology with more than 225 expected to have it installed by the summer, according to the report.

Home School Heartbeat Radio Program

Do you ever feel like every homeschooling family you've met has at least five children? If you have an only child, don't be intimidated—you, too, can homeschool! This week on Home School Heartbeat, Mike Smith explores education at home—for one.
Mike Smith:
One homeschooling mom we know helped her elementary—age daughter learn to love writing by joining her in creating stories. The mother and daughter would each take a seed catalog and use the descriptions of flower or tree varieties to create personalities for their flower characters. They each would write a story about the flowers in the garden, and then they would swap and read each other's stories. Now that this mom has graduated her daughter from homeschool, she adopts young children in their family's church to trade stories with them!
Science projects might be twice as fun if Dad actually does them along with the child. And you just might discover that you like art projects as much as your student does! Homeschooling is the perfect way to make learning a whole-family venture, and homeschooling an only child is no different. In fact, it might be easier!
Of course, not all your homeschooling has to happen in your house. In our next program, we'll explore ways that cooperative learning can enrich your experience as a single-child homeschooling family.
And until then, I'm Mike Smith.

It doesn't look bulky but its amazing how much can comfortably fit into this bag, and with lots of convenient pockets you can still find what you need! The only part I don't care for is the pocket at the bottom but since this bag doesn't scream diaper bag it might be handy as a carry on or gym bag later (in which case I'll keep spare shoes in the bottom mesh pocket).

Haydn Shaughnessy, Contributor
I write about enterprise innovation.
Will Hewlett Packard survive in its current form? I doubt it. Problems manifested last week over its Autonomy purchase, but its real inadequacies go deep and Meg Whitman has done nothing to resolve them – in fact she just guaranteed HP another year of bad press and negative sentiment.
At the weekend, former Autonomy CEO and HP executive Mike Lynch fired back at Whitman after accusations that he and his people had cooked the books before selling to HP.
Lynch accuses HP of dumping bad businesses into the Autonomy division in order to clear HP of its many previous bad investments. But he also claims that working with HP was like watching pilots fighting on the flight deck. And that some HP sales staff were incentivized to sell against Autonomy.
The row is undignified but it also smacks of everyone trying to cover their backs, and fast.
Take a look at the graphs below before deciding where you stand on the HP-Autonomy row. The data comes from market-sentiment specialists Marketpsych data who plot around 2,000 different emotional responses to business activity, daily.
Marketpsychdata launch a new emotional signal service with Thomson Reuters today and Richard gave me a preview of the service and its capabilities. Data is drawn from over 100,000 finance-related, social media articles and comments per day.
The issue for HP is much bigger than in-fighting over Autonomy.
Graph 1 shows what informed opinion thinks of its innovation record. The grey line represents opinion about HP's innovation capabilities – apart from one spike it pretty much mirrors the share price decline. Both on a constant descent.
The two graphs following represent fear and anger over HP's performance.
From graph 1 you can see the steady decline of sentiment about innovation.
You can see from these two graphs that fear peaked mid-2012 at which point anger took over. Both fear and anger are inversely related to the share price, and as each rises the share price declines.
The problem for HP is that sentiment was already trending heavily negative for a year and more before the Autonomy debacle. There are no signs in there of HP running its business differently or learning how to deflect or deal with negative sentiment.
It reminds me of Nokia two years after the iPhone launch, not long before their adoption of Windows. Or of Apple since April this year.
The immediate future promises more bad news as the Autonomy row evolves. Given that, and the complicity of the board in its many bad decisions, how can it survive in its current form?
Related on Forbes:
The short answer: no.
Hey Heydn (can't afford a vowel between the d and n?), maybe you too
won't survive another year (with any luck).
Since HP has 360,000 employees and has announced the cut of only 24,000 jobs, I think we can safely assume they will be around in a year. If HP does announce the cutting of 360,000 jobs, the entire market will collapse, so don't worry about just HP.
Besides Autonomy is a recent purchase. It has nothing to do with any business segment as this point; and going forward only applies to cloud computing. Meg did say Autonomy was worth buying, but not at that price. So it will only take longer to earn back the purchase. After that they will profit.
I don't think printing, servers, PC's, software, and services that have nothing to do with Cloud computing are going to zero. Do you?
Does it really matter? The assets will survive if the current management team starts winning, in a breakup or with an acquirer. Perhaps the more pertinent question is which scenario is most likely, and the implications for shareholders.
All of it cause by YOU the business press…HP is not doing as good as everyone wants but it still doing good. Number one in ISS servers, number 3 in storage, number one in printers.
If everybody stops speculating and let the course go its way HP will come out of this storm with no problems.
HP made over 4B in cash flow this year. Congratulations on winning the "Poor Journalism Award" for doing absolutely no research and just showing some stock price charts as your data.
HP is a fundamentally sound company – with some legitimate concerns about senior management.
It's no secret that HP has made more lousy acquisitions than good ones. But where do we go from here now that Whitman has said no big acquisitions until their balance sheet is in better shape?

Former Peabody state Rep. John Slattery was gracious to both his main opponents in the Senate race Thursday night as he made his concession speech at the Peabody .
Slattery, who finished well behind Salem city councilor Joan Lovely in the Democratic primary, commended Lovely particularly for her hard work over the past several months.
across the Second Essex District, Lovely won with 7,450, Slattery came in second with 4,418, Mary-Ellen Manning picked up 2,610 and Edward Carroll received 309.
The district includes Danvers, plus Beverly, Peabody, Salem and Topsfield.
"I think Joan Lovely will probably be the next state senator. She worked hard and she ran a good campaign, so congratulations to Joan," Slattery told a roomful of supporters, as it became apparent he trailed Lovely by too big a margin even without the vote tallies in from her hometown of Salem.
Slattery's concession speech came shortly before 10 p.m. as official results from city and town clerks trickled in -- it quickly became apparent there was no direct reporting from individual poll sites.
"I do congratulate Joan, I congratulate Mary-Ellen for a race well run," Slattery said.
"I feel like we ran a very good campaign; we had lots of support, it just didn't work out the way we had hoped," he said, in between thanking numerous volunteers and his family for their efforts over the past several months.
"I still do believe that the working class is the place for a Democrat to be. I still think it's good to be a progressive Democrat in Massachusetts. You've got to run hard, you've got to remember where you came from, and if you're a Democrat, you've got to be fighting for working class values," he said.
For Slattery, 54, this represents a third unsuccessful attempt at public office since stepping down from his seat on Beacon Hill. He sought the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor in 2002 and ran against former Mayor Michael Bonfanti in 2005 before his bid now for retiring Sen. Fred Berry's seat.
Slattery, who continues to work as a trial attorney, told reporters Thursday night he's not ready to decide yet whether he'll be back again or if this will be his last foray into the political scene.
He said he believes he campaigned on issues important to the district and feels the geography of the candidates may have contributed somewhat to the results (i.e. two candidates coming from Peabody). "I think I spent the month of July in Beverly," he said, but it didn't seem to matter Thursday.
"I don't want to take anything away from Joan," he quickly added, again commending her for a hard fought campaign.
Among the supporters at the AOH Thursday night were former city councilor Lou Cersosimo, Peabody state Rep. Joyce Spiliotis and her husband Dick Jarvis, former Beverly state Rep. and city councilor Michael Cahill, several Peabody firefighters and police officers and Peabodyite Michael Schulze.
For those who remember, Schulze ran against Slattery in the 1994 Democratic primary for state representative. Schulze recalled that race also included former city councilor Bill Toomey and Wally Birmingham.
Slattery obviously won that one, but Schulze said the two have gotten along every since. He said he does believe had some influence on Thursday's results (at least with voters who were not already Slattery supporters), just as when the .
Peabody Fire Inspector Joe DiFranco, a former union president, said he was surprised at the criticism Berry heaped on Slattery for receiving a wealth of union support in the race. He noted that Berry accepted a good deal of that same union support over the years.
Schulze also noted that Lovely has not been out of the political scene for 10 years and was backed by both an effective and popular mayor in Kim Driscoll and an effective popular senator in Berry. "Plus she put in the work," he said.

crown (kroun)
The top or highest part of bodily structure, especially the head.
The part of a tooth that is covered by enamel and projects beyond the gum line.
An artificial substitute for the natural crown of a tooth.
To put a crown on a tooth.
To reach a stage in labor when a large segment of the fetal scalp is visible at the vaginal orifice. Used of a fetus or the head of a fetus.
(1.) Denotes the plate of gold in the front of the high priest's mitre (Ex. 29:6; 39:30). The same Hebrew word so rendered (ne'zer) denotes the diadem worn by Saul in battle (2 Sam. 1:10), and also that which was used at the coronation of Joash (2 Kings 11:12). (2.) The more general name in Hebrew for a crown is _'atarah_, meaning a "circlet." This is used of crowns and head ornaments of divers kinds, including royal crowns. Such was the crown taken from the king of Ammon by David (2 Sam. 12:30). The crown worn by the Assyrian kings was a high mitre, sometimes adorned with flowers. There are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by the early Egyptian and Persian kings. Sometimes a diadem surrounded the royal head-dress of two or three fillets. This probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or three countries. In Rev. 12:3; 13:1, we read of "many crowns," a token of extended dominion. (3.) The ancient Persian crown (Esther 1:11; 2:17; 6:8) was called _kether_; i.e., "a chaplet," a high cap or tiara. Crowns were worn sometimes to represent honour and power (Ezek. 23:42). They were worn at marriages (Cant. 3:11; Isa. 61:10, "ornaments;" R.V., "a garland"), and at feasts and public festivals. The crown was among the Romans and Greeks a symbol of victory and reward. The crown or wreath worn by the victors in the Olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive; in the Pythian games, of laurel; in the Nemean games, of parsley; and in the Isthmian games, of the pine. The Romans bestowed the "civic crown" on him who saved the life of a citizen. It was made of the leaves of the oak. In opposition to all these fading crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown, the crown of life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10) "that fadeth not away" (1 Pet. 5:4, Gr. amarantinos; comp. 1:4). Probably the word "amaranth" was applied to flowers we call "everlasting," the "immortal amaranth."

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Disney Channel has green-lighted "Fish Hooks," its first animated series in three years.
The cable channel has ordered 21 episodes of the high school comedy, which mixes 2D digital animation and photo collage.
"Fish" revolves around party guy Milo (voiced by Kyle Massey); his neurotic brother, Oscar (Justin Roiland); and an overly dramatic goldfish, Bea (Chelsea Staub). They attend Freshwater High, a school submerged in a giant fish tank in the center of a local pet store. The series chronicles their daily lives as they deal with friendships, dating and sports as well as such atypical teen issues as giant lobster attacks and school field trips to the hamster cages.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Lockport High School wants the community to take part of its annual Homecoming festivities, which will be held all next week.
The school will hold a pep rally from 6:30 until 8 p.m. Thursday in the West Gym, in lieu of a typical assembly held in the middle of the school day.
And there's a few reasons for that, said Assistant Principal Todd Sukdolak.
"We'd lose a day (of instruction)," he said. "It allows the community to attend. We've also been sending flyers to our other buildings, to encourage younger students and their parents to come and see what it's about."
Aside from the rally, there will be a Homecoming parade on Oct. 12. Students will be putting together floats right up until the start of the parade at 1 p.m.
The parade will start at the school on Lincoln Avenue, then continue down Pine Street, along Walnut then Locust streets, before turning onto High Street and ending at Emmet Belknap Intermediate School.
City residents are encouraged to show off their Lockport Lions signs and apparel. Having community support is important, as is inviting younger students to be a part of Homecoming, said student Sarah Quirk.
"They're going to come here one day, it'll get them excited," she said.
The homecoming football game will take place at 2 p.m. at Emmet, featuring the Lions against Kenmore West Blue Devils. The Lions are currently 2-2 and play at Clarence this Saturday.
A homecoming dance will follow the Homecoming game, running from 7 until 10 p.m. Oct. 12.
Each day next week will have a different Homecoming theme for students. Monday is America Day, Tuesday is Decade Day and Wednesday is Class Color Day. That day, students wear colors corresponding to their respective classes, as freshman will wear black, sophomores wear orange, juniors will wear red and seniors green.
The week finishes with Jungle/Safari/Camo Day on Thursday and Blue and Gold Day on Friday. That's school spirit day, as blue and gold are Lockport High School's colors.
Classes will also be decorating doors and hallways.
