ASUS Shows Off ROG ARES II GPU With Sealed Loop Water Cooler
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 18, 2013 - 10:26 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: water cooler, sealed loop, ROG ARES II, gpu cooler, asus, amd, 7970 ghz edition
ASUS has taken the wraps off of a new dual GPU graphics card that comes equipped with a sealed loop liquid cooler to keep the two overclocked 7970 GHz Edition GPUs frosty. The new ROG ARES II is a limited edition card that pairs the ARES II GPU with an Asetek-based cooler and rounds out the top-end of the company's Republic of Gamers lineup.
The card itself features two AMD Radeon 7970 GHz Edition GPUs clocked at 1050 MHz base and 1100 MHz boost, 6GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1650 MHz, and ASUS' DIGI+ 20-phase VRM with "Super Alloy Power" hardware. The ROG ARES II has a 500W TDP and uses three 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. The card measures 11.8" x 5.5" x1.8," not including the radiator.
The ROG ARES II includes one DVI-I, one DVI-D, and four DisplayPort video outputs. ASUS is also packing a DVI to HDMI adapter in the box.
The sealed loop water cooler is where the card sets itself apart, however. Based on an Asetek design, the ARES II water cooler features a 120mm radiator, and two CPU-style water blocks over each 7970 GHz Edition GPU. The loop runs from the radiator and through both water blocks before returning to the radiator which is paired with two 120mm fans. Curiously, the water cooler did not result in a single-slot design. Rather, the ARES II card has a somewhat-bulky two slot profile. According to ASUS, the water cooled card will run up to 31 degrees Celsius cooler than the reference NVIDIA GTX 690 graphics card while being as much as 13% faster (though ASUS does not specifically name the games/benchmarks).
ASUS has not released any pricing or availability information, but you can expect it to rival the price of PowerColor's Devil 13 thanks to the sealed loop water cooler and ARES II hardware. Currently, ASUS is planning on producing a mere 1,000 liquid cooled ARES II cards, so be prepared to be fast on the mouse click upon release.
I would have liked to see a water cooler that was a bit more customized to the card. In particular, I think ASUS should have used a single water block that covered both GPUS and the VRM area, which would have allowed ASUS to get rid of the fan on the card itself entirely. Nevertheless, the ARES II will be extremely fast, and hopefully run nice and cool even when overclocked. I'm interested in seeing a head-to-head between the ARES II and PowerColor Devil 13.

NVIDIA Employees Stole 100,000 Confidential Documents Claims AMD
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | January 16, 2013 - 10:10 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: stolen, nvidia, legal, Lawsuit, console, amd
Things might get interesting for a little while between AMD and NVIDIA again as a complaint has been filed by AMD accusing recently converted NVIDIA employee's of downloading and stealing 100,000 documents on the way out AMD's door.
The company alleges that Robert Feldstein, Manoo Desai, and Nicolas Kociuk collectively downloaded over 100,000 files onto external hard drives in the six months before leaving the company. All three and another manager, Richard Hagen, were accused of recruiting AMD employees after leaving for Nvidia.
The most senior of these employees is Robert Feldstein who was acting as the VP of Strategic Development at AMD before leaving for NVIDIA and was responsible for getting AMD inside the Nintendo Wii U as well as the upcoming Xbox and Playstation consoles due out this year. To say that "stealing" Feldstein was a big win for NVIDIA would seem like a bad pun now with the accusations on the table, but there, we said it.
After looking at the former employees computers AMD found that "Desai and Kociuk conspired with each other to misappropriate AMD's confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information; and/or to intentionally access AMD's protected computers, without authorization and/or in a way that exceeded their authorized access." And since Feldstein and Hagan were responsible for the recruitment of those former AMD employees, they were breaking the "no-solicitation of employees" agreement made before departure.
Obviously AMD hasn't come out with exactly what is in those 100,000 documents they accuse of being stolen, but the company is hoping that the US District Court in Massachusetts will help them recover the incriminating documents with a restraining order for all four current employees of NVIDIA forcing them to retain all current AMD-related documents.
The unfortunate part of this for AMD is that if the document leak is true, the damage has likely already been done and they will have to sue for damages down the road. NVIDA could be in for a world of hurt if the court finds that they were actively requesting those documents from the the four named in the complaint.
If you want to read all the legal source for this complaint, you can find it right here.
CES 2013: Intel Haswell HD Graphics Compared to GeForce GT 650M
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 12, 2013 - 09:02 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, Intel, hd graphics, haswell, geforce, dirt 3, ces 2013, CES, 650m
While wandering around the Intel booth we were offered a demo of the graphics performance of the upcoming Haswell processor, due out in the middle of 2013. One of the big changes on this architecture will be another jump up in graphics performance, even more than we saw going from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge.
On the left is the Intel Haswell system and on the right is a mobile system powered by the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. For reference, that discrete GPU has 384 cores and a 128-bit memory bus so we aren't talking about flagship performance here. Haswell GT3 graphics is rumored to have double the performance of the GT2 found in Ivy Bridge based on talks at IDF this past September.
While I am not able to report the benchmark results, I can tell you what I "saw" in my viewing. First, the Haswell graphics loaded the game up more slowly than the NVIDIA card. That isn't a big deal really and could change with driver updates closer to launch, but it is was a lingering problem we have seen with Intel HD graphics over the years.
During the actual benchmark run, both looked great while running at 1080p and High quality presets. I did notice during part of the loading of the level, the Haswell system seemed to "stutter" a bit and was a little less fluid in the animation. I did NOT notice that during the actually benchmark gameplay though.
I also inquired with Intel's graphics team about how dedicated they were to providing updated graphics drivers for HD graphics users. They were defensive about their current output saying they have released quarterly drivers since the Sandy Bridge release but that perhaps they should be more vocal about it (I agree). While I tried to get some kind of formal commitment from them going forward to monthly releases with game support added within X number of days, they weren't willing to do that quite yet.
If AMD and NVIDIA discrete notebook (and low cost desktop) graphics divisions are to push an edge, game support and frequent updates are going to be the best place to start. Still, seeing Intel continue to push forward on the path of improved processor graphics is great if they can follow through for gamers!

CES 2013: Caustic, now part of Imagination, Shows Series2 Ray Tracing Accelerators
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 12, 2013 - 08:38 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: series2, ray tracing, imagination, ces 2013, CES, caustic
We have talked with Caustic on several occassions over the past couple of years about their desire to build a ray tracing accelerator. Back in April of 2009 we first met with Caustic, learning who they were and what the goals of the company were; we saw early models of the CausticOne and CausticTwo and a demonstration of the capabilities of the hardware and software model.
While at CES this year we found the group at a new place - the Imagination Technologies booth - having been acquired since we last talked. Now named the Caustic Series2 OpenRL accelerator boards, we are looking at fully integrated ASICs rather than demonstration FPGAs.
This is the Caustic 2500 and it will retail for $1495 and includes a pair of the RT2 chips and 16GB of memory. One of the benefits of the Caustic technology is that while you need a lot of memory, you do not need expensive, fast memory like GDDR5 used in today's graphics cards. By utilizing DDR2 memory Imagination is able to put a whopping 16GB on the 2500 model.
A key benefit of the Caustic ray tracing accelerators comes with the simply software integration. You can see above that a AutoDesk Maya 2013 is utilizing the Caustic Visualizer as a simple viewport into the project just as you would use with any other RT or preview rendering technique. The viewport software is also available for 3ds max.
There is a lower cost version of the hardware, the Caustic 2100, that uses a single chip and has half the memory for a $795 price tag. They are shipping this month and we are interested to see how quickly, and how eager developers are, to utilize this technology.

ASUS doubles down the RAM on their latest GTX 670
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 11, 2013 - 10:20 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, asus, GTX 670 DirectCU II 4GB
In addition to the custom cooler on the ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II, there is also 4GB of RAM which is double the usual serving for a GTX 670 and should help its performance at high resolutions. The core and RAM remain at stock speeds, [H]ard|OCP tweaked the GPU up 185MHz and the RAM by 175MHz so there is some room for overclockers to play with this card. This time around [H] only tested single display performance and were disappointed with the performance when they compared it to the similarly priced HD 7970 but keep your eyes open as they will be testing SLI multi-monitor performance in the near future.
"Today we have an ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DC II 4GB video card up for review. Although there is no factory overclock, the video card supports 4GB of memory compared to the default 2GB. We will focus on single display performance in our revamped game lineup that includes Far Cry 3, Hitman: Absolution, and Sleeping Dogs."

One of our final stops at CES this year was to visit with our friends at Gigabyte to see what they had to show off. Right off the bat we found an impressive 4K display configuration with four 1080p monitors. Running off of Gigabyte's GA-Z77X-UP5TH dual-Thunderbolt motherboard, each of the ports was split using a Lenovo adapter, each connecting to a pair of the monitors on the quad-display stand. The result is a stunning 3840x2160 display configuration running completely off of the Intel HD 4000 graphics and the Core i7 processor.
Colin also showed us Gigabyte's push into the world of DIY and OEM All-in-One designs with a couple of motherboards based on the thin mini-ITX standard. These boards are the same X/Y dimensions with a lower Z-height and very specific layout rules so that enclosures, cooling and components can be standardized.

CES 2013 Video: NVIDIA GRID Cloud Gaming Technology
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2013 - 08:46 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, nvidia, grid, cloud gaming, ces 2013, CES
Despite all the excitement about the NVIDIA Shield handheld gaming device at CES, the company was also heavily promoting its GRID Cloud Gaming Technology, marking another company that is promosing "game everywhere on everything". NVIDIA's claims of lower latency thanks to rendering and encoding on the same GPU have really yet to be verified as the hands-on demos they had at the show were running on local servers (not exactly a real-world test...).
NVIDIA isn't planning on releasing a self-branded service to the public but instead wants to sell servers to ISPs and service providers to increase density (more games per server) and performance. There are no current cloud gaming companies using GRID technology so it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer to see it's true capabilities.

CES 2013: The Verge Interviews Gave Newell for Steam Box. Valve's Director Hints Post-Kepler GPUs Can Be Virtualized!
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Graphics Cards, Networking, Systems, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2013 - 08:11 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, gaben, Gabe Newell, ces 2013, CES
So the internet has been in a roar about The Steam Box and it probably will eclipse Project Shield as topic of CES 2013. The Verge scored an interview to converse about the hardware future of the company and got more than he asked for.
Now if only he would have discussed potential launch titles.
Wow! That *is* a beautiful knife collection.
The point which stuck with me most throughout the entire interview was directed at Valve's opinion of gaming on connected screens. Gabe Newell responded,
The Steam Box will also be a server. Any PC can serve multiple monitors, so over time, the next-generation (post-Kepler) you can have one GPU that's serving up eight simulateneous [sic] game calls. So you could have one PC and eight televisions and eight controllers and everybody getting great performance out of it. We're used to having one monitor, or two monitors -- now we're saying lets expand that a little bit.
This is pretty much confirmation, assuming no transcription errors on the part of The Verge, that Maxwell will support the virtualization features of GK110 and bring it mainstream. This also makes NVIDIA Grid make much more sense in the long term. Perhaps NVIDIA will provide some flavor of a Grid server for households directly?
The concept gets me particularly excited. One of the biggest wastes of money the tech industry has is purchasing redundant hardware. Consoles are a perfect example: not only is the system redundant to your other computational device which is usually at worst a $200 GPU away from a completely better experience, you pay for software to be reliant on that redundant platform which will eventually disappear along with said software. In fact, many have multiple redundant consoles because the list of software they desire is not localized to just one system so they need redundant redundancies. Oy!
A gaming server should help make the redundancy argument more obvious. If you need extra interfaces then you should only need to purchase the extra interfaces. Share the number crunching and only keep it up to date.
Also check out the rest of the interview over at The Verge. I decided just to cover a small point with potentially big ramifications.

Speeding up USB 3.0 with new hardware
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 7, 2013 - 12:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: usb 3.0, superspeed usb, 10 Gbps
USB 3.0 will be getting a speed boost in the near future, with theoretical speeds of up to 10Gbps which makes it a decent competitor against Thunderbolt. We won't see this new speed on existing devices though as this is a change to the hardware on both the connector and the cable, as opposed to a software upgrade. They will retain their backwards compatibility for those who are still stuck on USB 2.0, but with transfer speeds this quick it makes a very compelling argument for finally upgrading to a system with USB 3.0 ... just wait until the new devices arrive. More at Slashdot.
"The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has used CES 2013 to announce an enhancement to the USB 3.0 (aka SuperSpeed USB) standard that will see the throughput performance of USB 3.0 double from 5 Gbps to 10 Gbps. The speed boost will come courtesy of enhanced USB connectors and cables that are fully backward compatible with existing USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices. The 10 Gbps SuperSpeed USB update (pdf) is up for industry review during the first quarter of 2013, with completion of the standard expected by the middle of the year."

ASUS has just announced it's Limited Edition ROG ARES II Graphics card, and boy is it a doozy!
Dual AMD Radeon 7970 GPU's clocked at 1100 MHz are paired with 6 GB of DDR5 running at a speedy 1650 MHz memory clock. This monster needs 3 8 Pin power connectors from the minimum recommended 850 watt power supply that can push at least 42 Amps on the 12V rail.
The ARES II will come with a 'hybrid cooling setup' that includes a custom cooler using both liquid and air cooling. A closed-cycle liquid system with dual 120 mm fans and a radiator block cool the GPU while an 80mm 'dust-proof' fan gives additional cooling for the memory, power and other critical components. ASUS is claiming that the cooling setup will keep everything stable even under full load and can achieve 13% more performance while running 30C cooler temperatures when compared to a reference GTX 690.

CES 2013: Tegra 4, the Vision of Windows RT?
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 7, 2013 - 09:42 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: CES, ces 2013, nvidia, windows rt
It is the day after the NVIDIA keynote and the Tegra 4 floodgates are open. Sure, the rumors were fairly accurate, but I guess speculation waits for a solid basis to be believable.
The Tegra 4 marries 72 of the expected GPU cores with four… "plus one" as the bonus core is present although 4+1 branding does not seem to be… ARM Cortex-A15 cores. This push to an A15-based design provides a significant performance increase over Tegra 3. Another interesting feature is the ability to transmit 4K video should you have a suitable source or the rendered application can support 4K at a suitable framerate. You can then add in Icera's LTE modem which is interesting in its own right to see a compelling product.
Jen-Hsun spent about as much time justifying the need for speed as he did hyping its performance. Photographers, particularly those who wish to dabble with HDR, are able to use the Tegra 4 to vastly increase the speed of image processing at the time of taking the shot. Tonal mapping for an HDR image will take just 200ms of processing which allows HDR to be used along with burst mode and a flash.
Paul Thurrott over at the Supersite for Windows ponders whether this was Microsoft's vision for Windows RT. He wonders whether Microsoft will try to take a mulligan on the first generation similar to Windows Phone 7-based devices led us to Windows Phone 8. At the same point, the weight which the Surface was designed to bare is pretty immense if it was just designed to buckle to Tegra 4. I would not put it past Microsoft although the Surface does not strike me as a product designed to have a doughy half-baked middle -- despite what actually shipped.
PC World also notes how Qualcomm continues to improve their products and have just recently transitioned to a 28nm process for the Snapdragon S4. Qualcomm is a giant and even then there is also Samsung to contend with in the ARM space -- then you consider x86 brings at least Intel to the game with its massive advantage in legacy software that are usually not abstracted by a platform-independent runtime layer.

CES 2013: NVIDIA Grid to Fight Gaikai and OnLive?
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Graphics Cards, Systems, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2013 - 10:07 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: CES, ces 2013, nvidia
The second act of the NVIDIA keynote speech re-announced their Grid cloud-based gaming product first mentioned back in May during GTC. You have probably heard of its competitors, Gaikai and OnLive. The mission of these services is to have all of the gaming computation done in a server somewhere and allow the gamer to log in and just play.
The NVIDIA Grid is their product top-to-bottom. Even the interface was created by NVIDIA and, as they laud, rendered server-side using the Grid. It was demonstrated to stream to an LG smart TV directly or Android tablets. A rack will contain 20 servers with 240 GPUs with a total of 200 Teraflops of computational power. Each server will initially be able to support 24 players, which is interesting, given the last year of NVIDIA announcements.
Last year, during the GK110 announcement, Kepler was announced to support hundreds of clients to access a single server for professional applications. It seems only natural that Grid would benefit from that advancement: but it apparently does not. With a limit of 24 players per box, equating to a maximum of two players per GPU, it seems odd that a limit would be in place. The benefit of stacking multiple players per GPU is that you can achieve better-than-linear scaling in the long-tail of games.
Then again, all they need to do is solve the scaling problem before they have a problem with scaling their service.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 SE Information Comes Out
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 4, 2013 - 06:10 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, gk106, gtx 660 se
Are you ready for another entry to the confusing graphics market? NVIDIA has you covered with the upcoming GeForce GTX 660 SE that will target the $180-200 market and hit the AMD Radeon HD 7870 1GB square in the jaw. With the current lineup of GeForce cards that is the one area where NVIDIA is at an obvious disadvantage with the gap between the GTX 650 Ti and the GTX 660.
As is usually the case, when a new graphics card is ready to hit the market, leaks occur in all directions. Already we are seeing screenshots of specifications and benchmarks from PCEVA. If the rumors are right you'll see the GTX 660 SE released in Q1 of 2013 with 768 CUDA cores, 24 ROPs and a 192-bit memory bus. Interestingly, the GTX 660 SE will be based on GK106 and has the same core count as the GTX 650 Ti...the performance differences will be seen going from the 128-bit memory bus to 192-bit.
Current GPU-Z screenshots are showing a clock speed of 928 MHz with a Boost clock of 1006 MHz, running just about the same clock rates as the GTX 650 Ti (though the 650 series does not have GPU Boost technology enabled). It also looks like the GTX 660 SE will use GDDR5 memory running 5.6 GHz and a 2GB capacity.
With CES just around the corner (we are leaving in the morning!) we will ask around and see if anyone has more information about a solid price point and time frame for release!
AMD Has Lots to DisplayPort at CES 2013
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Displays | January 3, 2013 - 04:32 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ces 2013, CES, DisplayPort, amd
It has been several months since we first heard about AMD's multi-stream transport hub -- its friends call it MST hub -- announced with the FirePro W600 last June. Since then news has been pretty quiet about the 1-to-4 DisplayPort device.
It turns out that AMD wants to roll the dice in Vegas along with several other demonstrations.
Image from Rage3D Forums
The cute feature for the MST is its ability to split a 4K image into four 2K monitors. The reason why this is cute is because the hub enables the user to plug four-times as many monitors as they have DisplayPort 1.2 sockets on their GPU. The W600, for instance, contains 6 DisplayPort 1.2 plugs which enable it to drive 24 separate monitors from a single-slot card.
Image from Rage3D Forums
Unfortunately, another feature of DisplayPort 1.2 is the ability to route sound uniquely to each display. The hub, as announced in June, is incapable of providing audio from its one input to its four displays.
A last goodie is the capacity to mix landscape and portrait monitors together in an Eyefinity setup. Stay tuned for our impending CES 2013 coverage for more details on these demos.

Meet Tahiti LE, the new 7870 MYST Edition
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 2, 2013 - 01:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: powercolor, 7870 LE, MYST edition, tahiti LE, amd
The 7870 Limited Edition is a bit of an odd duck when you compare it to a stock 7870GHz Edition; it has 1536 stream processors as opposed to 1280 on the stock card, the base clock of 925MHz (975MHz Boost Clock) is slower than the 1GHz but the RAM is clocked even higher than a 7950 at 6GHz. [H]ard|OCP wanted to see just how these tweaks effected the performance of the card, both at stock speeds and at their highest stable overclock of 1.2GHz GPU and 6.2GHz VRAM. Check out the performance results to see if this card can approach the HD7950's power.
"PowerColor has released a new graphics card based on the new AMD "Tahiti" 7870 LE core. We will investigate whether it is a worthy Limited Edition or simply a Lame Edition by comparing it to a Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition and a GTX 660 Ti with comparisons also to an HD 7950. Will this card be a deal, or a dud? You may be surprised."

The Chicago Bears appear to be starting life after Brian Urlacher.
The Bears reached a one-year deal with former Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams on Friday, two days after cutting off negotiations with Urlacher.
"We are happy to welcome D.J. to the Bears and are excited to start working with him," Bears General Manager Phil Emery said. "We see a player that has very good athletic upside who can contribute immediately at (middle) linebacker."
Williams, 30, was released by the Broncos after a tumultuous season which saw him miss nine games due to suspensions for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, and for his second arrest for drunk driving.
"This is a great opportunity for D.J. to restart his career after coming off suspension for part of the 2012 season," Emery said.
The 6-foot-1, 242-pound Williams was selected 17th overall by Denver in the 2004 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami (FL). He lead the AFC in tackles in 2007 with 141 combined tackles. He also started five of six postseason games for the Broncos, recording 32 tackles, three pass break ups and a half sack.
Emery says the addition of Williams gives the team options with the 20th pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
"He is also a versatile player who has played both outside linebacker positions, giving us flexibility in the draft," Emery said.
Williams started 115 of 127 games in nine seasons with Denver where he started at the weakside, inside, strongside and middle linebacker positions. He recorded 816 tackles, 20.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, 38 pass break ups and two interceptions. His 816 tackles are 10th in the NFL since 2004 and he is one of five players to record 800 tackles and 20 sacks since entering the NFL.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Williams will earn a base salary of $900,000, but can earn up to $1.75 million in a workout bonus and roster bonuses. None of his salary is guaranteed.

While The Who just kicked off the European leg of its 2013 Quadrophenia and More tour this past Saturday in Dublin, Ireland, frontman Roger Daltrey has plans to head back to the U.S. for a special show later this summer. The 69-year-old singer will headline an August 10 concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California, that's being held in conjunction with this year's OC (Orange County) Fair.
The event, part of the venue's Toyota Summer Concert Series, will raise money for the Teen Cancer America charity that Daltrey and Who band mate Pete Townshend co-founded. Roger's solo gig takes the place of a concert that was to have featured founding Doors Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger . That show was canceled after Manzarek died last month after a battle with bile-duct cancer.
"I was very sorry to hear of Ray's passing," says Daltrey in a statement. "I am sure he would have appreciated that the proceeds of this show will go to such a worthy cause as Teen Cancer America."
Tickets for Daltrey's performance can be purchased now via Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com and by calling 800-745-3000. Prices range from $39.95 to $69.95, not including fees and taxes.
The Who's current trek runs through a July 8 concert at London's Wembley Arena.

5 financial tips for single moms
Follow these steps to fashion a financial safety net when it's just you and the kids.
This post comes from Barbara Marquand at partner siteInsurance.com.
Many mothers are multitasking machines, tending to the dozens of jobs that must be done to keep the family happy and healthy. But between the homework help, the play dates, the cooking, the laundry and the bedtime stories, family finances are easy to overlook.
For single mothers, it can be especially difficult to find the time to devote to long-term financial planning, yet doing so is critical to ensuring the prosperity of your family. Here are five steps to get started.
1. Track income and spending
Don't let fear stop you from facing financial facts.
"Sometimes clients think, 'If I don't think about it, and I don't look at it, everything will be OK,'" says Court Creeden, a MassMutual financial professional and founder of Parent Financial, a financial planning firm in Charlotte, N.C., that specializes in working with families.
But assessing your situation is the first step to alleviating financial anxiety.
Write down every expenditure for a month to see where money is going, and compare the total with income. Look for ways to trim the budget if there's nothing left over for savings or essentials, such as insurance.
"Until you get a clear handle on how much you make and how much you're spending, you're not going to get anywhere," Creeden says.
2. Make sure you have adequate life insurance coverage
Of single moms, 39% say if they died, their families would be in financial trouble immediately, and an additional 33% say their families would be able to get by for only several months, according to 2011 research by LIMRA.
"If, God forbid, something should happen to them, then without life insurance their children would be in jeopardy," says Catherine Theroux, a spokeswoman for LIMRA, a global research and consulting group that tracks the life insurance industry. (Post continues below.)
Don't assume you are adequately protected just because you have life insurance through work. Typically, those policies are for small amounts. Evaluate how much your family would need if you died, and get life insurance quotes from highly rated insurers.
Affordable life insurance is easier to come by than you might think. A 20-year, $250,000 level-term life policy for a healthy 30-year-old costs about $150 a year -- less than three bucks a week, according to LIMRA.
In addition, make sure your ex is covered if you and the kids depend on child support or alimony, Creeden says.
3. Protect yourself in case of disability
Young women face a larger chance of disability because they face some risks men don't, such as pregnancy-related conditions and uterine cancer. They also face a higher risk for breast cancer and melanoma, says Barry Lundquist, president of the Council for Disability Awareness. Illness -- not injuries or accidents -- accounts for the majority of long-term disability claims.
Read the fine print if you have disability coverage through work, Creeden says, and talk to a financial adviser to get additional coverage if necessary. Typically, employer-sponsored disability benefits provide just 60% of your base income if you become disabled and can't work. Bonuses and commissions are not counted as part of the base, and if the employer pays the premium, the income from the insurance coverage is taxable. That's often not enough coverage for families.
4. Get health insurance if you're uninsured
One big medical emergency can lead to bankruptcy. If you and your ex lack employer-sponsored coverage, check to see if your kids qualify for free or low-cost health insurance coverage through the Chidren's Health Insurance Program, a combined effort of the federal and state governments. If the children don't qualify, shop for individual health insurance.
Under federal health care reform, health plans cannot charge higher premiums or deny coverage to children under 19 because of pre-existing conditions. That rule will apply to adults in 2014. In the meantime, if you can't qualify for insurance because of a health condition, check out the Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan in your state.
5. Build an emergency savings fund
Creeden says he recommends enough savings to sustain you for four to six months in case of job loss or other emergency, and up to a year if you're in an industry with heavy layoffs.
Don't wait until the end of the month to see how much is left over for saving. Decide on an amount, and transfer it to savings at the beginning of the month. No room in the budget for savings? Creeden says one client found money by cutting cable television. Painful? Sure, but which is better -- the Food Network or food on the table?
Creeden says another way to squeeze money from a tight budget is to make sure you're getting all the discounts you can from your current home and car insurance company, or to shop around for less-expensive coverage.

- Calculator:Is your budget in balance?
Great advice! If only most single mothers had extra money for an emergency fund and disability insurance. Even life insurance may be out of reach for some.
Android? IPhone? Where I live most have the Obama phone for emergencies.
So I will offer some suggestions: Become resourceful. Learn how to make money from garbage. That's what I did raising 3 sons on my own. I would go trash picking for car seats, cribs, strollers, etc. and call the manufacturer's 800 number and order new parts (which they send for free). Then I would clean them up and advertise them in a free local newspaper - now we even have Craigslist and "free stuff.com" .
Cut out the "fluff" . Are you paying too much for Cable? Do you have expensive cell phone service? Try Metro PCS - $25/month unlimited talk/text and $40/month talk/text/internet.
Do you smoke? How much is that a week??? Don't put your kids through your cancer please. My mom died that way. My youngest barely remembers her.
Do you have boys? Invest in hair clippers. My kids were fine with it on #2 or #3, especially in the summer.
Don't be afraid to accept the kindness of others - from you neighbors, church, etc. They day WILL come for you to give back and please see that you do when you are able and called upon.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Oh, and most importantly....PRAY!!

This happened to a dear friend of mine. He's been gone for many years, so I think it's safe to tell the story.
He had, for almost as long as he could remember, suffered spells of intense depression. He wasn't an educated man. I'm not sure he even knew what to call his bad feelings. In the community where he lived, among the people he knew, there were two states of mental functioning: normal or crazy. For the latter you went to the state mental hospital. He analyzed his feelings in the only way he knew: it was a spiritual problem.
President Wilson's opening and closing addresses to the ten-day August 2014 "Bible and Science Conference" in St. George, Utah, were the most revelatory and surprising presentations in otherwise rather flat, predictable, repetitive and at times monotonous meetings on Creation. Our president always manages to exceed himself in theological superficiality and recklessness. The opening address was bold and full of strong, personal convictions and at times even theologically insolent and arrogant.
Just in case you missed it, ISIS (aka ISIL) is now IS. This is not the first name change for the political/militant organization that is even too radical and violent for Al Qaeda. Before becoming ISIS (ISIL) the group was known as ISI, but only after abandoning the acronym AQI, which was the name adopted after the organization's founder decided to drop the original non-acronymic name: al Tawhid wal Jihad.
The Mission
The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' manifesto – His statement about what is important to Him in the Kingdom of God. Of course it is important that the concept of the law would be central to what Jesus has to say. However Jesus says something that we would not expect – especially after telling everyone how much respect He has for the law that they have known.
I recently came across a disturbing story in the New York Times. It's about the discovery that conservative Hasidic Jews (the group written about by Chaim Potok) have a stubborn subculture of child sexual abuse, often involving highly-placed men in the community.
To give a homogeneous and definitive profile of Euro-Adventism is risky and may be even unnecessary. We never get to exhaustively know the people we live with, but notwithstanding we can eventually affirm we may know them truly. The same principle can be applied here to Euro-Adventism. I would like to characterize it with three theological traits that can be variously present in the different European countries.
I am a Hebrew born of Hebrews. Let me explain. Both of my parents passed genes to me that they had inherited from forebears who had descended from Abraham. My deoxyribonucleic acid has confirmed that my ancestral mosaic is comprised of members of the Akan, Igbo and Nguni people—African peoples whose Hebraic identities have attracted the interest of many a scholar. And for those skeptics who question the authenticity of African-Hebrews, my genetic make up also contains Ashkenazi traits on my third, eighth, twelfth and eighteenth chromosomes.
the·ol·o·gy (thē-ˈä-lə-jē) noun, the study of God and God's relation to the world
fish·y (fi-shē) adj. Informal, Inspiring doubt or suspicion
Last month, I asked anbut there is more to it than that. It is also important to talk about why a proper definition of the gospel is needed.d answered the question, "What is the Gospel?" As I have thought about this question I realized that it is not only important to talk about what the gospel is, but there is more to it than that. It is also important to talk about why a proper definition of the gospel is needed. Why should we care about how we define the gospel?
Years ago, at North Dakota camp meeting near the village of Harvey, a visiting speaker invited himself to my grandparents' cabin. My grandmother received this as a tremendous compliment: pastors were always held in high esteem in my family, and this was one of her favorite speakers. As I remember the story, after Grandma served him homemade date bars, he offered to be the broker to sell them a building lot in an isolated housing development somewhere in the mountains of the American southeast.
European Adventism with all its diversity and irreducible heterogeneity represents today a particular and unique kind of Adventism in the world church. According to some this is an atypical and weak type of Adventism, numerically and theologically. Numerically because, compared with non-western or even with other western SDA Divisions, European Adventist membership appears as a small and negligible reality that keeps decreasing.
The first two clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This seems like a simple statement and when read in its historical context the original intent seems quite clear. The European conquerors that were establishing their new outposts on the soil of the Apache and Navaho all came from "Christian" countries where certain brands of Christianity were fused with state identity.
Recently, in response to a statement about the commonality of the gospel amongst different denominations or groups of Christians someone said to me – "To be honest with you I could not disagree more. It is the Gospel that separates us (SDA) from other denomination's "gospel." Our (SDA) doctrines define the Gospel for us, they cannot be separated from the Gospel. Any deviation from sound doctrine is not the Gospel at all it's a false gospel."
This happened about 25 years ago, when I was still a young pastor. We'd just placed a new member, a Certified Public Accountant, on the congregation's finance committee. One of the items on the agenda was how we could build up the lagging local church budget. I remember the new committee member said, after his first quick glance at the financial statement, "I don't know what the problem is. This shows we received a lot of tithe." The rest of us quickly explained his misunderstanding. "Wait a minute," he said.
When she spoke, silence overpowered the atmosphere. When she spoke, her spellbound audiences voluntarily surrendered to her hypnotically cadenced and carefully crafted words. When she spoke, sympathizers and critics alike could not help but marvel at her ability to be heard. When she spoke, her probing and penetrating prose proposed powerful potions for improving pressing problems. When she spoke, her unique experience shaped her calm and collected countenance that had countered countless calamities. But she had not always spoken so effectively.
Sticks and Stones
"I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves…. But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For each one will bear his own load….For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh." Gal 5:12; 6:4, 5, 13
I didn't choose to be heterosexual. I was born this way. From the time I was old enough to notice (and taking into account that at the time I was far more interested in Lego blocks and model cars) I remember thinking little girls were incredibly charming creatures. My first real exposure to homosexuality came in college, when I had friends who I learned (probably as they were learning it themselves) had attachments to people of their own gender. This was a time when homosexuality was at last being spoken of aloud among ordinary people. It even got a friendlier, non-clinical name: gay.
With this column I conclude a threefold reflection on the SDA Church Cape Town summit on alternatives sexualities. The first presentation (Sexuality and Human Developmental Identity - Cape Town 1) approached the topic from an anthropological perspective, affirming that sexuality is a positive human problem for everybody, not just homosexuals.
Probably the most famous wolf stories originating from the West are Aesop's "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and Sergei Prokoviev's "Peter and the Wolf." The former features an unnamed shepherd boy who repeatedly alarmed the villagers by deceitfully claiming a wolf was about to attack his sheep. On the disastrous night when a wolf did actually sneak up on his flock, the people ignored his shrieks for help until the ferocious canine silenced them.

Statement as issued Friday by Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control:
18 month old Sawyer, a sweet mixed-breed dog rescued from a January 2013 cruelty case, is ready to be adopted from Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. Sawyer suffered breaks to both of his front legs as a result of being thrown and has been cared for by the Northeast Indiana Veterinary Emergency Specialty Hospital until recently, when he was released to a private foster home where he currently resides.
The cruelty case remains an open investigation, which limits the adoption of Sawyer to those living within Allen County. Adoption profiles will be accepted on Monday, March 25. A lottery system will be used to select an adoption candidate who will be given an opportunity to meet Sawyer on Tuesday, March 26 between 12-5 p.m. (Due) to the number of people who have expressed an interest, only the family whose profile is drawn from the lottery will be given an opportunity to interact with Sawyer.
The shelter will select two alternates in the event that the first candidate declines the adoption. To apply for the adoption of Sawyer
• Print a Pet Adoption Profile from the Animal Care & Control website at www.fwacc.org and fax it to 260-427-5514 or
• Come to the shelter between the hours of 12-5 p.m., 3020 Hillegas Road on Monday, March 25 to complete and submit a profile.

Today, Chigwell & Hainault Synagogue has around 750 members, having more than tripled in size during the last 25 years. Our community is well known for its friendliness and has a younger membership than most in the United Synagogue.
Chigwell and Hainault was formed in 1968 when the thriving community, which had met in a house in Chigwell for five years, merged with the well-established Hainault community (founded 1950). In 2007 we celebrated the 30th anniversary at our Limes Avenue address.
The spacious community hall was built to expand the existing facilities and our synagogue has also undergone a comprehensive refurbished that was finished off with a beautiful new perochet.
The Community is led by an executive team consisting of Rabbi Baruch Davis and five members who serve as honorary officers. This team is supported by a dynamic Board of Management and a number of Committees with responsibilities for particular activities.
This website gives a flavour of the wide range of activities on offer to our members and their families. If you would like more information about membership or would like to arrange a visit please contact the synagogue office. We look forward to welcoming you in person.

The Academy Takes Kubrick Fans on the Ultimate Trip
One of the most influential and groundbreaking directors of the modern era, Stanley Kubrick was honored by the Academy on November 7, 2012 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater with an evening of stories and cinematic highlights hosted by Malcolm McDowell, with a trio of guests who were also members of an exclusive club: actors fortunate enough to star in a Kubrick film.
The Kubrick Salute was part of the Academy's ongoing collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to jointly present the expansive exhibition "Stanley Kubrick" at LACMA through June 30, 2013. The major exhibition is accompanied by "2012: A Kubrick Odyssey," a two-month retrospective of all of his feature films. The Academy's Grand Lobby Gallery on the floor below the Goldwyn also offers "Stanley Kubrick: The Ultimate Trip," a companion exhibition of Kubrick materials.
The celebration began with a dazzling combat scene from Kubrick's breakthrough film, the 1957 war drama "Paths of Glory" starring Kirk Douglas, and an introduction by Academy President Hawk Koch, who praised Kubrick's genius and prepared the crowd for their host. An actor with over three decades of credits under his belt, Malcolm McDowell became a movie icon with his role as the hell-raising "droog" Alex in "A Clockwork Orange," Kubrick's 1971 adaptation of the dystopian Anthony Burgess novel. That film marked Kubrick's second foray into science fiction after his previous film, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), which also earned him an Academy Award for its special effects. McDowell began by sharing memories of working with Kubrick, frequently referencing his piercing and intelligent black eyes and recalling many games of ping pong (which led to him losing a week's pay for his voiceover work), the director's fondness for listening to air traffic reports, and a crew strike during the demanding production. An actor used to working with nurturing directors like Lindsay Anderson on films like "If…," McDowell received the following philosophy from Kubrick on getting a good performance: "Gee, Malc, I don't know what I want… but I do know what I don't want."
McDowell then introduced the first clips of the evening, a trio of selections from Kubrick's initial features in black and white. "Fear and Desire," a 1953 study of soldiers stranded behind enemy lines, was Kubrick's debut and one the director famously attempted to pull from circulation during his lifetime. However, the scene shown here was a dynamic early look at the director's visual sense, a sparse scene of violence with the soldiers bursting their way into a farmhouse. The stylish mannequin-filled showdown from the urban noir thriller "Killer's Kiss" (1955) came next, followed by the ironic airport finale from the innovative heist film "The Killing" (1956), starring Sterling Hayden.
As the lights came back up, McDowell welcomed Paul Mazursky to the stage. The Brooklyn-born actor made his film debut in "Fear and Desire" after Kubrick spotted the young thespian in a stage production of "He Who Gets Slapped," and while Mazursky continued acting for years to come, he is now perhaps better known as the director of such films as "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," "Harry and Tonto," "An Unmarried Woman," and "Down and Out in Beverly Hills." Mazursky's hilarious anecdotes about working as a youth for the first-time director included his recollections of trying to get four weeks off from college just before graduation, convincing the dean that he had been called away to work on a big Hollywood movie.
McDowell continued to appear in between clips for the next five Kubrick films, all of them in wildly different genres but each featuring the filmmaker's strong artistic imprint. The startling forced combat between gladiators Kirk Douglas and Woody Strode from the widescreen epic "Spartacus" (1960) represented Kubrick's last director-for-hire role in Hollywood; he then relocated to England permanently and courted controversy with his adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's scandalous "Lolita" (1962), represented here with James Mason's unforgettable first glimpse of the title nymphet (Sue Lyon) lounging in the backyard belonging to her gauche mother, Shelley Winters. Peter Sellers also appeared in that film but will always be remembered most for another Kubrick collaboration, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964), a trailblazing black comedy about the folly of nuclear arms and international diplomacy (or lack thereof). The clip of Sellers as U.S. President Merkin Muffley (one of his three roles in the film) making an awkward phone call to the Soviet Prime Minister had the audience in stitches, reinforcing the film's potent satire even now decades later.
McDowell's signature role as Alex came next, with his final scene in "A Clockwork Orange" accompanied by stories about how he decided to punctuate his performance with an inspired bit of physical comedy, mimicking a bird demanding to be fed, which had Kubrick cracking up behind the camera. The film was considered shocking and even dangerous upon its release, even being withdrawn for many years in the U.K. after its first year of release. From a dose of future shock the audience was then taken into the distant past for "Barry Lyndon" (1975), a sumptuous period epic starring Ryan O'Neal as an Irishman climbing up the social ladder of 18th-century Europe. The film's Oscar-winning cinematography remains striking today, using NASA-developed lenses to shoot only by candlelight and other natural light sources. This technique was demonstrated in the clip chosen here, a montage spanning from O'Neal's tart carriage ride with new wife Marisa Berenson to the birth of their son.
O'Neal himself took to the stage after the clip to join McDowell for a spirited discussion of the making of the film, including tales about finding a proper stunt double for O'Neal after his character is supposed to become an amputee (which also involved strapping the actor's leg all the way back behind his head). They also discussed Kubrick's initial dislike of the ending of O'Neal's acclaimed previous film, "Paper Moon" (which he didn't view as a comedy at first), the IRA disturbances that forced the production to relocate to England, and the banana-induced methods used to quiet hordes of noisy monkeys during shooting.
Though Kubrick passed on directing "The Exorcist," he later decided to mount another horror film based on a popular literary property. Based on Stephen King's novel, "The Shining" (1980) became famous for its striking Steadicam work and raw, terrifying lead performances from Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, shown here in a chilling scene in which she discovers the manuscript he's been working on for the past several months alone in the forbidding, snowbound Overlook Hotel. It took seven years for Kubrick to release his next film, the blistering Vietnam saga "Full Metal Jacket" (1987), shown here with the elaborate Battle of Huế sequence and its aftermath, complete with startling use of the rock standard "Surfin' Bird."
The final guest of the evening, Matthew Modine, joined McDowell to discuss his own experiences with Kubrick as he played Private (and later Sergeant) Joker in "Full Metal Jacket." The film's production was once again a colorful one, with England standing in for Vietnam (including the use of Beckton Gas Works to stand in for the bombed-out Huế) and costar R. Lee Ermey (a real-life drill sergeant recruited to act in the film) breaking his ribs in a car accident. Modine even published a photo-filled diary about his experiences on the set, and he closed out on a high note by recalling one of his biggest acting challenges: delivering his lines opposite Ermey's powerful bad breath!
McDowell once again guided the audience to Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999), a dreamlike study of marriage and jealousy which the director had wanted to make in various forms for many years. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's powerful performances in the film were highlighted here with the dramatic scene in which she awakens from a nightmare and tells her husband far more about it than he probably wanted to know. However, that wasn't quite the end of the evening, as McDowell closed things out with a bang by introducing one final clip: a glorious 70mm presentation of the legendary transition from caveman to space age in "2001: A Space Odyssey." His final words to the audience said it all: "Ape! Bone! Ship! Thank you. Good night!"

Letter of Pál Frenák
Dear Colleagues,
I do agree with the fact that Yvette Bozsik and Csaba Horvath should be awarded with an independent theatre – I have nothing against this and I suppose no one else has, but at this time, this fact should be set aside. Thus in this very special case, I really do not believe this discussion is about these choreographers' artistic talent or about querying it.
The most significant question is how much we are fully aware of Trafo's current profile and function.
Trafo has joined the inland and international theatre line in as a Contemporary Art House.
Yvette Bozsik and Csaba Horvath – just like me – has only been a part of it because beyond dance there are theatre shows, concerts and exhibitions altogether what shaped the current profile of Trafo. It has never been a playhouse of contemporary dance!
I cannot agree with the opinion which says that Trafó or especially Gyorgy Szabo would be a cultural dictator – if he were, we should tell the same thing about every theatre director.
The fact that a theatre has a charismatic profile and a system for filling quality should not be mistaken for the dictation. Not to mention that the artists must be fully aware of what kind of performances they are creating, where and what sort of audience for.
The profile of Trafo should not be confounded to the function of the Palace of Arts or the Hungarian National Dance Theatre – even less to the Opera.
Having known the international market, we must be very naïve to believe the opinion that there is anybody who buys a Hungarian performance just they are in favour of Gyorgy Szabo's taste!
I do not want to degrade his merits but other Hungarian and foreigner theatre directors are also charismatic, independent and open minded, and they grant upon the quality of the performances they promote, even if there are many cases where the invited performance diverges from their own favourites. The invited performance should not be mixed up with a co-production – the co-production is about working in partnership and to be together at the back of an artistic conception and taking risks together.
I had the pleasure to read the [George Szabo's] Trafo proposal. It is hard to form an opinion without the possibility of reading the other proposal [signed by Yvette Bozsik]. What stands out from the known proposal is that the Trafo strives to keep its position as a Contemporary Art House.
Their proposal in its plot and in its composition shows the wish of maintaining a place which presents the contemporary works and artists in a very comprehensive way.
If the other proposal had the same goal – that's what we don't know… but in my view it's difficult that two choreographers who take an active part in the Hungarian contemporary dance scene would be able to have the same goal and manage their own career with the necessary distance.
If Trafo loses its profile by taking the title of Hungarian Contemporary Dance Theatre, Trafó's present profile is going to be unseated! And we do not know what is about to happen yet.
But it would be such a naïve idea, my Dear Colleagues (and here I do not mean candidates) to imagine that all the Hungarian choreographers can move in to Trafo!
Pal Frenak, choreographer

News Corp Axes Tablet Newspaper, What Can Investors Do?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Aside from being the dominant tablet to use for online browsing (see "Apple Products Make Up the 'Bulk' of Mobile Traffic") Apple's iPad currently has over 275,000 apps available in its App Store, ranging from business news to video games, but one of the most innovative was a publication introduced by News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS) in early 2011. Called "The Daily," (epic introductory video here) News Corp's tablet-only digital newspaper was centered on the idea that readers would be offered far lower prices than traditional publications charged due to the lack of print infrastructure, while enjoying a streamlined interface designed for touch-screen technology.
In a press release on its official website yesterday, though, News Corp is announcing that it "will cease standalone publication of The Daily iPad app on December 15, 2012," and that some pieces of its structure "will be folded into The [New York] Post." On the decision, CEO Rupert Murdoch had this to say:
"From its launch, The Daily was a bold experiment in digital publishing and an amazing vehicle for innovation. Unfortunately, our experience was that we could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term. Therefore we will take the very best of what we have learned at The Daily and apply it to all our properties. [...] I know The New York Post will continue to grow and become stronger on the web, on mobile, and not least, the paper itself."
While the publication was originally launched as a standalone app for Apple's iPad, versions for the iPhone, Google Android tablets, and the Amazon Kindle Fire had been added more recently, along with a pricing structure that was available on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Regarding Apple's iPad, readers could subscribe for 99 cents a week or $39.99 a year, while iPhone and Kindle versions were offered at close to half this price.
While we don't have specific up-to-date user statistics from News Corp, a letter from the Editor in July disclosed that The Daily had "100,000 paying subs who are renewing their subscriptions at a 98% rate," which still implies that at a yearly operating cost of approximately $26 million, the publication was operating at a loss, no matter how innovative an experience it was. Using an average user rate of $39.99 a year, we can estimate that The Daily needed roughly 650,000 subscribers to break even.
Though it's certainly sad to see a publication close its doors -- especially with the quality that The Daily maintained -- it makes sense from a profitability standpoint to fold its best aspects into The New York Post, which has traditionally had a much larger readership.
So what does this mean for investors?
The move comes as part of a larger restructuring effort for News Corp, which will effectively split its TV and movie business into a new entity named Fox Group, while it holds on to the newspaper and publishing side of things. As can probably be expected, the market's reaction to these events has been fairly positive; shares of News Corp are up over 2.5% over the past five days of trading activity.
Over the longer haul, though, there are obvious questions about News Corp shares post-split, when it no longer has the high-flying entertainment arm to drive growth. Last quarter, News Corp's publishing division experienced a whopping 48% decline in YOY earnings, but aggregate EPS still beat the Street's earnings estimates because of its cable TV networks in particular.
Now, it has been announced that existing NWSA shareholders will receive a piece of both parts of the spin-off, but no details have been released as of yet. In our opinion, it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider getting into the stock now, which still trades at an attractive 12 times year-ahead earnings. Post-split, you'd get a bit of the high-growth Fox Group while hanging onto News Corp to see how profitable it's publishing realm can be on its own.
In comparison to industry peers, NWSA is particularly cheap; its aforementioned forward P/E is below the likes of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) at 12.9X, Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) at 13.8X, New York Times (NYSE: NYT) at 15.9X, and CBS (NYSE: CBS) at 12.2X.
Even more importantly, though, sell-side analysts are expecting News Corp as a whole to generate EPS growth of 14.1% a year through 2017, which is lightyears ahead of its average (-15.3%) over the past half-decade. Accelerating growth is always a positive – especially when investors get the choice of owning Fox Group separately from News Corp next year – but it's also important to note that this forecast is above all of its peers mentioned above. Time Warner (11.9%), Time Warner Cable (13.4%), New York Times (3.1%), and CBS (14.0%) are all predicted to experience lesser growth.
From a cash flow standpoint – News Corp is sitting on a pile over $6 billion high – the company is also cheap, trading at a lowly 4.8 times the cash on its books. This multiple is far below Time Warner (13.9X), Time Warner Cable (7.4X), and CBS (23.9X). Only the New York Times, trading at 1.9 times its cash hoard, is cheaper.
To recap: we like News Corp at the moment, as it is undervalued by using nearly every metric under the sun, not to mention a rather bullish EPS outlook going forward. Post-split, it's highly likely that investors will retain a piece of both News Corp and Fox Group, with the latter providing an even better growth opportunity.

text: Jason Bonham hopes to take to the stage with his late father John during his Led Zeppelin Experience shows by creating a hologram of the legend. Bonham stood in for his father during Led Zeppelin's one-night reunion in 2007 and is currently touring the U.S. performing the rock supergroup's back catalogue. The Led Zeppelin Experience already features on-screen images of the pair before John's death in 1980, while another segment involves Jason drumming along to video recordings of a solo by John. Now Bonham wants to take his 'duets' a step further and fulfill his dream of playing onstage alongside his father with the help of new technology. He tells Legendary Rock Interviews however he is struggling to find appropriate footage, adding, "The biggest challenge... is finding original video material to work with. These guys were operating in the 1970s; it's not like it is today where everybody can record everything with a phone or digital camera. Back in those days, if you had a camera that could record video, you were well off. To edit, work with it, process it and release it was a whole other matter. I'm trying to work with the limited footage I have, to put it together in a way that works and is purposeful."
