Director : Ang Lee
Screenplay : John Turman and Michael Frances and James Schamus (story by James Schamus)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2003
Stars : Eric Bana (Bruce Banner), Jennifer Connelly (Betty Ross), Sam Elliott (General Ross), Josh Lucas (Talbot), Nick Nolte (David Banner), Paul Kersey (Young David Banner), Cara Buono (Edith Banner), Kevin Rankin (Harper), Celia Weston (Mrs. Krensler), Mike Erwin (Teenage Bruce Banner)
Ang Lee's ambitious big-screen version of Hulk is much like the titular green behemoth himself: Grand in scale and purpose, it is a weighty, muscular adaptation of the popular comic book series, but its own bulk often gets in the way. At times elegant and other times clumsy, Hulk is frequently entertaining, but too often dour and humorless, the clear result of the filmmakers' passionate attempt to infuse the pulp material with a deeper meaning.
The Hulk as a comic book character has been around since 1962, and he has always been one of Marvel Comics' most complex and disturbing heroes. It is surely the creature's psychological complexities (particularly his repressive tendencies) that drew director Ang Lee and screenwriter James Schamus, who worked together on The Ice Storm (1997) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), to the project, and it shows. The movie certainly has its share of action, and those looking for chaotic scenes of the Hulk smashing things up will not be disappointed (there is also a fantastic battle to the death between the Hulk and three hulkified mutant dogs, one of which is, I kid you not, a French poodle). Yet, the majority of the narrative focuses on such heady issues as repression, childhood trauma, and Oedipal father issues, which comes close to weighing the movie down into a moody bore.
The relatively unknown Eric Bana (Chopper, Black Hawk Down) was tapped to play scientist Bruce Banner, who, once exposed to gamma radiation, finds that he morphs into an enormous, green-skinned monstrosity when his anger is aroused. The background for this metamorphosis is given new life by coscreenwriter Schamus, who introduces the character of Bruce's father, David Banner (a frighteningly unshorn Nick Nolte), a mad scientist whose fevered desire to "improve" the human race leads him to conduct dangerous experiments on himself, the results of which are then passed down genetically to his son (a key literalization of the father's sins being passed to his offspring). The movie's opening segments take place on a military base in the early 1960s, where four-year-old Bruce witnesses a terrible event involving his father and beloved mother (Cara Buono), the details of which are not revealed until much later in the story (although what "the big event" is seems pretty obvious, which makes its later revelation something of a letdown).
As an adult, Bruce is reserved and closed, so much so that he can't even maintain a relationship with a beautiful fellow scientist, Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly), whose Army general father (Sam Elliott) just happens to be the man who cracked down on Bruce's father's illegal experiments back in the 1960s. Bruce's repressed emotions and memories become the stuff that fuels the Hulk and all the violence he inflicts. When he transforms, Bruce doesn't remember what he does as the Hulk except as vague, dream-like images, although he does confess in one of the movie's most moving scenes that, when the change starts to occur, he likes it. And who wouldn't? Part Jekyll and Hyde, part King Kong, and part Frankenstein, the Hulk is pure fury unleashed, and his unstoppablility is a paean to our barely disguised desire to throw off the shackles of society and let our id run free.
Unlike most comic-book adaptations, there is no clear-cut hero and villain in Hulk. Considering that he is the physical incarnation of repressed anger, the Hulk himself is not a bad guy—just misunderstood. He is even capable of genuine tenderness whenever he is in the presence of Betty, but this points up one of the movie's central weaknesses, namely that Bruce and Betty's emotional connection never generates any real heat. There is an emotional connection between them in that they are both the children of neglectful egomaniacs, but that never fully registers in their interactions. It feels like a plot necessity, rather than a genuine relationship, and the movie's Beauty-and-the-Beast ethos often suffers as a result. If there is a villain in the movie, it's David Banner and his ludicrous ambitions and lack of care for anyone but himself, although there is also a yuppie businessman (Josh Lucas) who happens to be one of Betty's ex-flames and wants to exploit the Hulk's unique DNA in the name of capitalism.
Of course, the thing people are talking about the most are the digital effects in Hulk and whether the green giant looks real. To be honest, the effects are a mixed bag, as has been the case with all fully computer-generated characters, from Yoda to Gollum. When he doesn't move much, the Hulk is quite convincing, and some of his close-ups have the kind of emotional detail that really registers. On the other hand, some of the action sequences that involve the Hulk running or bouncing (he can leaps thousands of feet at a time) look too cartoonish. It's never horribly distracting, though, although it makes one wish that the filmmakers had kept the Hulk lurking the shadows more than they did.
If the digital Hulk is sometimes lacking, the rest of the movie's visual approach is a knock-out. Lee and editor Tim Squyres (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) have devised a consistently enthralling use of split-screens, picture-in-picture, vertical and horizontal wipes, and rapid zooms to replicate the visual appeal of a comic book layout, so at various times it appears as though you're glancing across comic panels that have come to life. It's a dizzying, often exhilarating visual feat that does wonders in intensifying the narrative and keeping it moving along, even when it bottlenecks in a somewhat ludicrous climax that may have people returning to theaters just to figure out what exactly happened.

At the trial of Veselin 'Batko' Vlahovic for war crimes committed in the Sarajevo neighbourhood of Grbavica, the defence started presentation of its evidence.
Sasa Baricanin, who is serving 18 years prison sentence for war crimes in Grbavica, said that in September 1992 he was not with Vlahovic in Grbavica, because at the time he was in Belgrade having a medical treatment.
Vlahovic's defence presented medical documentation for Baricanin's treatment in the Belgrade hospital after he was wounded.
"I do not know the witnesses Esma and Malik Pasic, but I would like to have met them, because I am going to sue them for perjury," said Baricanin.
In March, a married couple Malik and Esma Pasic testified that Vlahovic first took their neighbours away from their building and then forced them to leave their apartment at Kovacici.
Malik Pasic said that in mid-September 1992 Vlahovic and another three Bosnian Serb soldiers came to their apartment and told them to leave by following day because they needed the apartment "for Batko's mother".
The prosecution charges Vlahovic with murders, rapes, abuses, robbery, disappearances and other inhuman acts committed in 1992 against Bosniak and Croat civilians in the Sarajevo neigbourhoods of Grbavica, Vraca and Kovacici.
Another defence witness, Djordje Nedeljkov, Vlahovic's former lawyer from Serbia, said that he was regularly seeing the defendant in Novi Sad in late 1992 and in 1993.
Asked by the prosecutor, Sanja Jukic, whether he saw the accused in Novi Sad between June and September 1992, the witness replied that he did not.
The trial will resume on October 3, 2012.

Someone that does something purely to get credit, most commonly used with roller coaster riding. Man, you're a real Credit Whore, I'm not even sure that's a real coaster!

3. | Credit Whore | ||
A person who thinks that just because they did something nice one time that they are entitled to bitch at everyone and be the worlds biggest asshole and when you get mad about it they say, "BUT WAIT, there was that one time I..." and then you just want to punch them in the balls and call them a douchebag. The only reason David was nice for a week is so that he can remind me of it when he's a little bitch all the time. He is such a credit whore.

DENVER (AP) -- March is a make-or-break month for relieving drought conditions in Colorado.
State climatologist Nolan Doesken says a series of snow storms or one monster blizzard, like the one in 2003, would go a long way to improve conditions along the Front Range and Eastern Plains.
The month is traditionally a wet one. But last year the state dried out during an extremely dry and warm March, which also marked the start of a deadly wildfire season.
April and May often bring rain and snow too. Doesken says March precipitation is key because the normally cooler weather helps moisture penetrate the ground and slows evaporation.
Doesken said this week's series of storms benefited any areas that got at least 7 inches of snow, the equivalent of about a 1/2 inch of water.

Notes: Sneakin' Sally did not contain a vocal jam. The encore featured Derek Trucks on slide guitar.
This show was part of the "1999 Summer U.S. Tour."
I saw plenty of bad shows in '99 and '00 but this one actually ranks among my favorites. It's so swampy and thick. Perfect summer night show. Only other outdoor show from these years i enjoyed as much was the Polaris thunderstorm experience. About 10 minutes of ambient noise before the drop to 2010. My Left Toe ties almost the entire set together. Deep YEM. Make no mistake, the second set was WAY out there, and pretty much an uninterrupted run of intensely psychedelic stuff.
Bad shows aside, this show is exactly why '99 has grown on me over the years. It's great atmosphere music. Their sound was so mindbending back then, and spread across a much larger canvass than they're using now.
Charlotte 7/7/99 - This is the PERFECT ambient jam filled show from the era. Many, many other shows from 1999 have jaw dropping ambient jams and entire sets filled with incredible ambient improvisational jamming, but very few have the complexity and continuity of this two-set apparition from the steamy underbelly of America.

On the other hand, this was the first time I heard Derek Trucks. He made Trey look like a little school boy, shredding through the encore like there was no tomorrow. (Was Trey holding back for the kid?) That goes to show that even at the worst shows I have seen, there were still nuggets of magic.

Of all of the brands of shoes that my kids have worn over the years the ones that have held up the best to all that they put them through are their Umi Shoes. I love them. They are hands down my favorite brand of children's shoes. They are adorable, well made and last for years! With Summer on it's way here to Minnesota (yes we are just starting to get sandal weather around here!) I was on the hunt for some durable sandals to last all Summer. My kids are tough on their shoes (we live in the country and play in the dirt!) so I wanted something that would look great and last. Of course I went straight to Umi and browsed their site. I found some adorable selections!
I just love how soft these Zanne Umi sandals are! Little boys in Zane get Umi's anatomically contoured footbed and sturdy outsole to keep them upright and healthy. They are absolutely adorable and Aiden just loves to wear them. I love the pairing of the light blue and brown together. They look so cute!
I had a tough time deciding on a pair for Danika because they have SO many adorable girls shoes! I knew we had to go with something pink since it's Danika's favorite color and you will find her wearing pink more often than not. We settled on the Louise because they are sooo adorable and looked comfy and perfect to pair with all her Summer outfits.
Striking, feminine hues are sugar and spice while the resilient tractioned outsole is ready to take on running, jumping and climbing. Durable, supple leather with hook and loop closure and snappy floral accents. Danika has played away many days while wearing Louise and they have held up to all of her play time while still looking brand new! I love that they go well with casual or dressier sun dresses. They are really versatile and adorable!
For Carson we headed over to the UmiBaby section and found an adorable pair of shoes from their Crawl + Cruise line, Weelie. They have their UmiBaby shoes categorized into 3 different selections so you are sure to find the pair that are just right for your baby.
Toddler boys Weelie provides the building blocks for monumental first steps. A refreshing color palette adds a cool spin and durable, natural materials promote healthy foot development. Featuring Umi's patented, anti-bacterial herbal footbed. Rubber outsole and adjustable hook and loop closure.
Umi Shoes wants to put a little Spring In Your Step so they are offering up a $60 Gift Card to one lucky winner! Enter my Rafflecopter giveaway below for your chance to win!

Saybrook University and Bainbridge Graduate Institute to hold workshop on cross-sector collaborative systems
03/13/2013Saybrook University is teaming up with Bainbridge Graduate Institute to hold a presentation and discussion on March 13, from 7 to 8:30 pm on "Tackling Wicked Problems - How can we Build and Support Cross-Sector Collaborative Systems?"
Much of the work in building a sustainable world is cross-sector work requiring collective leadership and collaborative action. Tapping the wisdom in the room, the workshop will identify a few wicked problems related to sustainability, discuss who needs to be engaged in addressing them, and the challenges and opportunities for that engagement. Using examples of emerging inter-organizational networks, the workshop will explore the role of managers and consultants in supporting collaborative engagement and collective leadership for creative, systemic change.
See LIOS students in action - with The Gnosis Project
02/18/2013LIOS excels at designing curriculum that supports students in applying learning and leadership competencies toward solving real life problems. As part of the second year curriculum in the Leadership and Organization Development program, for example, students form a Benefit Corporation within which much of the curriculum is delivered. Students are challenged to model the type of leadership we want to bring to the world as future practitioners, while at the same time working within the context of the company to deliver products and services.
The Gnosis Project, the Benefit Corporation formed by the Fall 2013 student group, is conducting market research in order to identify meaningful trainings for the LIOS community, including alumni and current students. We are exploring how to expand perceptions of the skills and competencies that are required to be career ready when leaving LIOS.
Send $45,000 to LIOS – WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME!
12/03/2012The LIOS School of Saybrook University relies on alumni to help keep our doors open. No matter what your current contribution level is, you can easily increase your gift by almost $45,000 – at no cost to you. How?
Send a student to LIOS
Our statistics show that the vast majority of students who attend and complete one of our programs, don't stumble upon us in an online search or pick up our flyer at a college fair. They seek us out because they know someone who's been to LIOS, perhaps a friend, a family member, or a colleague. They see a skillful consultant at work, a therapist opens up their hidden potential, or they observe a transformation in a friend and they want to know where it comes from. Having experience with a LIOS graduate trumps every other recruitment tool we have. Even a single conversation with a LIOS graduate can plant a seed and, and sooner or later LIOS will reap the bounty.

07/25/2012By Dan Leahy
Associate Dean of LIOS Graduate College
With the proliferation of polarities rampant today, I'm rather fond of some of the "flash mob" videos that periodically show up on You Tube, particularly the ones in public spaces (the commons) that involve orchestras and choirs playing a human classic to the delights of the gathering citizens. To me this is an example of the human potential beyond our limitations: A moment that transcends our differences. Here's the link to the most recent example that came from my daughter, Chelsea: http://bit.ly/Onvuc4
While I've never, yet, participated in one of these celebrations of Life, I've often imagined what it would be like. Well, if truth be told, I've actually wondered what it would be like to take part in a LIOS-inspired flash mob.
Inspiration and the Sky
05/30/2012Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly, For the day I die, I'mma touch the Sky"
Kanye West, "Touch the Sky"
In life, we have no control over what inspires us. Inspiration can come from many different sources. I have been inspired by many unusual sources. When seeking inspiration, I often look to the Sky. I look to the Sky for many reasons.
In addition to being a metaphorical holding ground for the heavens, the Sky suggests dreaming, optimism, strength and a relationship with the atmosphere, a connection with the universe, an umbrella to all that is life. That is inspiration. That is the Sky.
Expanded Research May Help Business Women Identify Real Sabotage
05/23/2012Recently, I read an article in the American Express Open Forum by Melinda Emerson entitled 5-Ways Women Sabotage Themselves in Business.While the article itself was good, I felt like the scope was limited. I found myself wondering if men, those inferred to be in power, agreed with the points listed.
If the obstacles and challenges that women perceive themselves having are different from the ones their male co-workers, bosses, and employees see them as having, it seems like a significant disconnect in the office. This facet is also likely to come up increasingly, since the article states that women over 50 are starting businesses at a ratio of 2-to-1 over men.

Courage to Lead
08/05/2011The following is an excerpt from Dr. Shelley Drogin's remarks at the recent LIOS Graduate College graduation in June 2011:
In a recent planning meeting with the Dean of LIOS Judy Heinrich and Organizational Systems Chair Mark Jones, we were reminded of one of the great educators, Parker Palmer. Parker wrote a book and founded a program called" the Courage to Teach." As we thought about LIOS Graduate College, the phrase "the Courage to Lead" was uttered and it was one of those YES moments. I want to expand upon the concept of "the Power of Yes." But first, let me begin with the alternatives to Yes.
Our minds know all too well NO (all of us are familiar with the terrible twos that are filled with NO's); we are quite familiar with the MAYBE's, the NO-BUT'S, or YES-BUT's. However, in contrast, there are those YES moments in life that our consciousness can fall into, those YES's that exist beyond our doubts, the YES's that have no end. When I speak of "the Courage to Lead," I am reminded that we must have the courage to attend to, to pay attention to, those YES's.
Courage as a concept and as a word is rooted in the heart. The head of leadership is more about theories of practice and practice of theories. The heart of leadership, "the Courage to Lead," is about our values and dreams. It is difficult to talk about courage without exploring fear. It has been said that courage is fear that has said its prayers. Let me tell you a true story about the first tightrope walker (taken from Mark S. Lewis' commencement speech at University of Texas, 2000).
In 1859 the Great Blondin -- the man who invented the high wire act, announced to the world that he intended to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Five thousand people including the Prince of Wales gathered to watch. Halfway across, Blondin suddenly stopped, steadied himself, backflipped into the air, landed squarely on the rope, then continued safely to the other side. During that year, Blondin crossed the Falls again and again--once blindfolded, once carrying a stove, once in chains, and once on a bicycle. Just as he was about to begin yet another crossing, this time pushing a wheelbarrow, he turned to the crowd and shouted "who believes that I can cross pushing this wheelbarrow." Every hand in the crowd went up. Blondin pointed at one man.
"Do you believe that I can do it?" he asked.
"Yes, I believe you can," said the man.
"Are you certain?" said Blondin.
"Yes," said the man.
"Absolutely certain?"
"Yes, absolutely certain."
"Thank you," said Blondin, "then, sir, get into the wheelbarrow."
Like that man in the crowd, we often know a lot of things, some with apparent certainty. But also like that man, there will be times in your life when knowing things won't matter as much as how scary the situation is--and when that happens you'll have to decide whether or not to get into the wheelbarrow. There are times when, in order to succeed, you will have to trust --when you will have to take a big leap of faith--and when that time comes I hope you will face your fear, say your prayers, and take appropriate action.
What you have earned as graduates of this amazing institution is the ability to move on, to dare to do anything. What you retain as graduates of this amazing institution is the privilege to return any time--to return emotionally, spiritually, or just to visit. And it is what you've learned at LIOS that will in part determine what you do out there.
And my hope is that "your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known."-anonymous
The Overwhelming Life of a LIOS Graduate Student
07/15/2011by Marcus Berley
LIOS student
Life as a graduate student is often overwhelming. Take a busy schedule, limited finances, and a daunting reading list, and add in whatever major life transition you are experiencing at the moment, such as a divorce, a death in the family, or a newborn baby. Now, go write a sound, well-referenced, and creative academic paper.
What makes LIOS different from other graduate school programs is that, in addition to balancing a busy life, it challenges students to explore who we are and where we come from. What question have you always wanted—but been too afraid—to ask your mother? What are the rules of your family, and what role do you play? What cultural biases have crept into the crevices of your way of thinking? Well, your homework is to go ask those questions. To your parents. To your aunts and uncles. To your grandparents. Take all of that newly acquired systemic knowledge and apply it to yourself and your most intimate relationships.
Not terrifying enough for you? Well, you're only reading about it, possibly imagining it, but not actually experiencing it. LIOS is all about experiencing. The theories you read make so much sense on paper, but watch what happens to your insides as you study group theory in a group that is studying itself. Your mind jerks. You scramble to figure out what is going on. Your heart cracks open. A teacher asks you if you have a tendency to avoid conflict, then challenges you to try another method with a conflict that you currently have with another student. Throughout all of this you're being evaluated on a wide range of skills you're supposed to be developing. Oh yeah, and it's ok to cry.
Somehow, you're doing it. You read and you write papers, and you tell your mother that, even though things have gotten complicated, you love her. You move apartments and split up with your partner or find a new one, you find an internship or a project, and you don't have much time to look around. It's graduate school. It's overwhelming.
And going through it is wonderful preparation for life as a sound, creative professional.

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is a natural evolution in the development of echocardiography.

As new developments in probe technology brought a true "real-time" 3D fully-sampled matrix array transducer it has become the main imaging modality in valvular disease. more...

Club competitions
National team competitions
Nationality: MNEBorn : 28.01.1982Place of birth: NY (USA) Height: 1.88mPosition: PG
Omar Cook has been the number one playmaker for his adopted country and been very much at the heart of everything good about Montenegro since they embarked on a journey to their historic first EuroBasket tournament. The leader in assists and steals for the team has set the tone in the backcourt and you would expect nothing else from a guard who has played at the highest level on both sides of the Atlantic. A good ball handler who can also shoot from downtown and use his acceleration to get to the hoop, Cook is a real danger for opposing defences primarily because of his ability to create for others. He had more assists last summer than not only anybody on the roster but also more than any other player in the Qualifying Round. A smooth operator, the guard is likely to be one of the driving forces of the Montenegro challenge once again as he offers an extra dimension and is the man with the key to open all doors.

Pruning the forum database.
Rudge, while I agree about the lack of evidence, we must recognize that all scientific theories have parts without evidence to support it filling gaps with speculation when is needed. That's why there are people researching dark matter, in 1932 it was just a guess (not that is much different now but I'm not actualized); Piaget did a complete theory about human development describing the different stages, but when confronted with the driving force behind learning he hypothesized the "need to recover balance", a construct well behind the theories that describe the search for pleasure and the avoiding of displeasure, some of them well investigated by neurologist and behavioral psychologists. A field with a lot of speculation is hypnosis, in the last conference I attended I saw the usual psychologists but also lots of medics and dentists that are using it in daily work, still there is a lot of speculation on what it is or why it works.Science is a little group of facts and a lot of speculation, that conforms a way of thinking called paradigm, when a new explanation about a group of facts appears paradigm changes (not always, in social sciences they tend to coexist) but that new paradigm have a lot of speculation too. Speculation is what drives science growth.BTW a book that I love about that is The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn , I think I will read it again this Christmas
Not smart, in fact I had problems to understand it, that book seems simple until you talk about it in class classmates can make you feel really stupid at times.I reviewed that for a full year many moons ago, when I was in Mexico City; I think it was called Philosophy of Science, a name I consider strange now
Ah Ha, as one thinks, so it is...

Jessica Helfand's Book List 9 books and 0 comments
I mostly read non-fiction, only a fraction of which is design-related. I tend to get more out of reading non-design-related things (as this list will reveal), I think, because the references and the language tend to stretch both my mind and my vocabulary. (I often tell my students that I get more out of a New Yorker profile than any design book, and it's true.)
Beyond this, I would say that most of what I am drawn to relates—albeit loosely—to people's lives: biographies, books on psychology and the mind, profiles and diaries and personal narratives. Journals by and about artists are currently at the top of my list, as is anything about madness, from art brut and outsider art to stories about struggle, and because I am now working on a book that involves a mysterious suicide, I find myself drawn lately to the darker side of certain personal stories (Lauren Slater's Welcome to My Country comes to mind, as does William Styron's Darkness Visible).
Strange: this makes me sound so serious and misanthropic, which I'm not at all. Then again, I've been married for nearly 16 years to a man whose favorite writers are Samuel Beckett and Franz Kafka, so is it any wonder?

Pod hd 500 settings with Dt 25 amp
Like (0)
I know you should use pre- amp only models when tied into the DT amp but should you turn off cabinet models as well? I want to use the direct out from the amp to the house system . What sound is sent from amp direct out? Is it what you hear from the ampp or the amp / cabinet simulated sound from the POD?
I turn off cab simulation - for two reasons, it uses DSP, so not using one gives me more headroom for effects and such, and the other reason is there is no reason to "color" our amp with another amp. It sounds good on its own.
Thanks for the info. I am still confused as to exactly what tone is being sent from the direct out of the amp. Is it what I hear from the amp or some simulated sound that maybe not be what I am hearing direct from the amp ?? I would like to know that what I think I am sending to the house I am.
Thanks for your help.
it's what you hear + mic emulation... so its as if you mic'd the amp on stage, rather than a dry feed.
I believe default Cab simulation is used by the default built-in DT preamps. I only verified what others did before for the 'American Classic' and confirmed (as best as I could to convince myself) that the HD500 Blackface Double Vibrato preamp with default Cab gets you the best match between an HD preamp based sound and a DT preamp based sound.
After the last DT FW update you can select a Mic model for what's sent to the XLR out. Don't know what the DT did before the FW update.
In regard to whether Cab models should be turned on or off you can only guess at what's more 'right'. Certainly whether you like the result is the most important factor. I don't think there is an absolute 'right' for this selection ...and if you really want to speculate one chould consider that the HD500 knows that it is hooked up to DT50 or DT25, i.e., it could 'know' the DT's default Cab tonal characteristics and adjust the Cab model to produce what the modelled Cab does. I am not saying this is what's going on. It's more an example for why 'right' is simply not right ;-). You're better off just picking what you like to hear ...
Thanks everyone. Will give all above a try
On another note can update the firmware for the DT through your Pod or do you need
some other midi interface ?
you need a midi interface
Thanks any suggestion. Cheep is good
my recommendation is to get the m-audio uno for the most reliable and compatible interface...
but i have successfully used one of those 5$ ebay cables... but they don't always work great for everyone...
just a cheap alternative if money is tight, although like i said... results may vary.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

HI, Bill-MIPS. Thanks for chiming in. It's easy for anyone outside MIPS to ...
Four reasons why MIPS new cores may make it relevant again
Junko Yoshida
NEW YORK – MIPS Technologies rolled out this week a new generation of microprocessor cores called Aptiv.
With the new cores' smaller die size and reduced energy consumption compared to ARM's midrange core like A15, MIPS is hoping that the new family of cores can put the company back on track. "We will gain leadership again" on the competitive microprocessor IP market, according to Gideon Intrater, vice president of marketing at MIPS. "We believe that Aptiv can beat A15 by a large margin."
MIPS is at a crossroads, however. Some analysts see Aptiv arriving in the market a little too late.
Indeed, until this week, MIPS had not introduced new cores for two years. Meanwhile, its rival ARM busily pumped out a series of new microprocessor cores.
Why did MIPS, once a technology leader, fall behind? One explanation is MIPS's acquisition of ChipIdea, an analog and mixed-signal IP supplier, in 2007. This deal apparently posed a huge distraction. MIPS' plan then was to offer its customers a 'virtual SoC' by creating a strong IP arsenal – going beyond microprocessor cores – to mount a challenge to ARM. The marriage ended, however, after 18 months. "Once we decided to sell ChipIdea in 2009, we were able to put an emphasis back on microprocessor core development," said Intrater.
MIPS is also facing an even bigger upheaval: the company's potential sale. Recent speculation that "MIPS is up for sale" has not died down, and MIPS has neither confirmed nor denied the reports. Gary Mobley, senior research analyst at The Benchmark Company, calls the sale "a distinct possibility," as MIPS has been shopped around at various times in the past 10 years. But he added: "It is important to note that if the company intends to sell, it better do so soon before potential licensees grow more concerned regarding MIPS' long-term processor roadmap."
Against this backdrop, MIPS is betting on Aptiv to turn things around. The Aptiv family, consisting of high-performance proAptiv, multi-threaded interAptiv and highly-efficient microAptiv, is the fruit of the company's substantial investment and development efforts over the last three years. While the Aptiv family addresses distinct performance levels for applications across mobile, home entertainment, networking and embedded, MIPS's focus is squarely on mobile.
"We see the mobile market the most important, because of sheer size," said Intrater. "Even if we get a small share, it makes a big difference."
But then, the $64,000 question is: If you are already an ARM licensee (most likely you are, if you are in the mobile market), why even consider licensing MIPS now?
MIPS' Intrater said, "Companies are upgrading their cores all the time. We think that our Aptiv can give them compelling reasons to switch to MIPS core."
EE Times asked a few industry analysts for their opinions.
1. Need to keep the competition healthy
J. Scott Gardner, a senior analyst at The Linley Group explained: "SoC developers need healthy competition among the suppliers of licensable CPU cores. MIPS is the most viable alternative to ARM for most of these applications.
"Even though ARM has grown much larger than MIPS, the ARM licensees will undoubtedly give some consideration to MIPS Aptiv as a way to differentiate products and perhaps gain negotiating leverage with ARM."
Jon Peddie, President of Jon Peddie Research, said, "You need to have a second source." But he added: "It depends on the platform. Mobile phones will be a tough sell, tablets are better, Game consoles, STBs, industrial controls, routers, automotive, etc. are opportunities for MIPS."
2. It's all about power efficiency and cost
Based on published EEMBC CoreMark performance estimates, the Aptiv family "should deliver better performance per MHz than any of the cores currently offered by ARM," according to Gardner. "The ProAptiv has 50% higher CoreMark/MHz than Cortext-A9, and Microprocessor Report expects that ProAptiv will have significantly-higher CoreMark/MHz scores than Cortex-A15. The higher IPC should allow operation at a lower frequency and power than competing ARM cores. For many of these applications, power efficiency and cost have become the primary differentiators."
In other words, "When compared to systems based on Cortex-A15, an SoC designer using MIPS Aptiv should be able to integrate almost twice as many CPU cores into the same silicon area and power budget," Gardner explained.
3. Heritage and range
In Peddie's mind, MIPS' "powerful instruction set with a heritage going back to the first 64-bit workstations and servers" should still be one of the big reasons to consider MIPS even today. Further, "MIPS is the only 128-bit processor – Sony's Emotion engine in the PS2," he said. MIPS also offers "a good range of products with flexibility from 8-bit to 64 bit," Peddie added.
4. China factor
Not to be missed in considering MIPS is perhaps MIPS cores' impact in China. Peddie noted that "Chinese home grown Loongson processor is based on MIPS, and if you think having instruction-set compatibility with it is important (and I do) then it's a slam dunk no brainer."
A couple of things I forgot to mention in this story, which should matter if you are looking into Aptiv.
1. MIPS did tell us that they already picked up three licensees for the Aptiv family.
2. MIPS is making a headway in the so-called "eco-system," accorindg to MIPS. Philips recently launched its first tablet in China, using MIPS core running Android 4. Philips' tablet is fully certified as it passed Compatible Test Suite (CTS).
While it might be easy for new chip companies to go in for MIPS, I think one of the main issues with existing ones doing the shift is the extensive re-work of the internal software infrastructure. Current day SoCs need a fast turn around time, and the time needed to rework the software / debug with a new processor IP is just not there.
Getting licensees is one thing, having them tape out production silicon with that IP is another. MIPS needs its customers to show some working 1074K silicon in products fast. More than 18 months have passed since the 1074K was released for licensing. I haven't seen any SoCs announced with that processor.
I want MIPS to succeed against ARM as much as I want AMD to put up a good fight against Intel in the x86 space. Having choices with equivalent or better effectiveness and efficiency will be good for the ecosystem (chip companies and end consumers) as a whole.
@Junko: Very lucid story and feel very nice to read. Need more of similar coverage.
It is never too late. With these achievements, MIPS has potential for big market capture. Along with performance boost, they will also offer better customer support, reference designs, design reviews for customer and lower cost.
Sorry, but this is simply laughable. ARM has won the battle decisively.
It's really a sad story. Sandeep Vij was brought in as the savior. I think he is just basically getting his face rubbed into the pavement.
That's why he wants to sell. Only a fool would design in a processor from a company being sold.
The four reasons are trumpted, however, by this intention to sell the operation. It might be nice for the industry as a whole to have this second source, but who's going to commit to MIPS if they don't know whether it will survive, or in what form it will re-emerge after the presumed sale?
My thought upon reading the article? "Swan song."
Junko, nice piece. As you mention, competition is good. It is certainly not appropriate for me to provide specific feedback on the competitive positioning MIPS has shared as part of this product announcement. Suffice to say, we at ARM should not, and will not, disregard any new announcement of rival technology. With the Aptiv family spelling "M", "I" and "P" as you go up(With the Cortex family, we spelt A, R, M going down) , I assume MIPS is leaving a placeholder for an "S" family. Name guesses anyone? I am somewhat surprised at the timing and nature of the release......I had assumed that MIPS would be releasing more details about their 64-bit "Prodigy" core, announced in early 2011. But, like ARM, MIPS clearly see a contined strong market for 32-bit processors
Good catch on the M-I-P family naming.
Makes the intention to go head-to-head against A-R-M even more obvious. But intention is not execution.
"ARM has won the battle decisively."
They've won the battle, but have they won the war? With smartphones, the instruction set doesn't matter because you don't run compiled code, so it is ALL about processor power and battery life.
If Samsung/Nokia/HTC/whoever could come out with a phone that was faster than anyone else's yet the battery lasted longer, then that phone would own the market.
Because of this, companies would spare no expense to solve the 'reworking of internal software infrastructure' issue.
But ARM is a moving target. It remains to be seen whether MIPS can truly have enough of a technical lead for long enough to get the design wins.
"you don't run compiled code" - sorry?
And if the main objective is high performance with low power consumption you are not going to optimise that whilst having multiple layers of interpreter and virtualization, because you will be running more code than necessary.
I was thinking of Android, not iPhone. Android apps are not compiled code--you can even run them on an Android simulator running on your PC (and the simulator isn't simulating Arm assembly code).
In fact, Motorola is coming out with an Android phone that uses an Intel Atom processor later this year.
Certainly Android itself has to be compiled to run on the processor. But from a customer point of view, any processor will run the apps, so they will tend to prefer the phone that runs the fastest with the longest battery life.
WW Thinker
Are you sure that no Android app uses compiled code? You should talk to Ingenic and its customers or to Philips China. I bet that if you try any of these 7" tablets in US or in Europe, you are going to see something broken. In the ideal world, there is no compiled code, in the real world, optimization will inevitably lead to the necessity of compiled codes.
ARM is stable and things work. Porting to a different processor has huge risk. Anyone that tells me that switching processors is a breeze I do not believe.
Anyway, I'm sure the moral there is completely in the toilet. What are the MIPS employees doing? Brushing up the resume to go to ARM, Intel, Freescale, Cavium, Broadcom, etc... If they are smart.
As a member of the MIPS engineering team, I can tell you that I am working on some of the most exciting and challenging work of my career. These are not minor updates to old products, but completely new architectures built upon MIPS' deep expertise in processor architecture. Some of the engineers I work with daily are from the original Silicon Graphics MIPS team, and others are from well-known processor companies. The work here is intense, exciting and continually intellectually challenging. Sitting next to me is a compiler team working on sophisticated projects, down the hall is a CAD team working on advanced nodes and on the other side of me are engineers working on OoOE pipelines. Our software team is doing amazing work, having recently completed the work necessary to get our NDK into the official Android source tree. In this highly competitive market, we have agility, expertise, and a fast and exciting work environment.
HI, Bill-MIPS. Thanks for chiming in. It's easy for anyone outside MIPS to second guess what MIPS engineers are doing. What we need is more voice from people like you!
We can also see the fact ARM vs. MIPS from the silicon process point of view. ARM is now moving forward to the 22nm process. MIPS is far behind ARM in terms of the silicon process but MIPS still has some advantage for cost and energy consumption if they start using a 32nm process.
WW Thinker
In this regard, the release of hardened A15 core on TSMC 28nm process is definitely an advantage at the moment.
Are MIPS new release processors code compatible to ARMs? Like those AMD and Intel?. In that case at least MIPS has a chance to be the second source to ARM
regarding the (mistaken) claim that ARM has already won: observe that pretty much all wifi routers are MIPS, not to mention a lot of NAS and other embedded networking. those are a lot less salient as the ARM in your phone, but at least as significant in ecosystem.

Rates at two city-owned parking garages in downtown Portland are set to rise 40% in an attempt to drum up an additional $160,000 in revenue for the city's fiscal-year 2013 budget. Passed last Monday by the city council, the rate increase has irked some downtown business interests, who say higher fees could prevent shoppers and tourists from visiting the area.
"The biggest [issue] for us is the size of the increase," says Jan Beitzer, executive director at Portland's Downtown District. "We are coming out of a recession, and I think it's a little difficult for people to understand why that was a reasonable proposition."
The Elm Street and Spring Street garages will up hourly rates from $1.25 to $1.75 an hour, with daily rates rising from $12 to $21. Monthly rates will remain unchanged at $110, but a previously refundable $10 deposit will become a non-refundable $10 activation fee when the rate hikes take effect on July 1.
Christian Steppe, manager of the Renys store at 540 Congress St., says he hears customers complaining about parking issues "every day," but does not think the rate increase will have a huge impact on the store's business.
"I do not think it will affect us on a large scale, but I think it hinders future economic growth in the arts district," he says. "In this economy, we should be making it more inviting for individuals who are trying to spur growth and development."
Steppe says that while Portland Downtown District's Park & Shop program helps to defray the cost of downtown parking -- customers can get stamps by visiting many local businesses that can be redeemed for up to two hours of free parking -- an event at the Cumberland County Civic Center, which has a capacity of 6,700, can throw the whole parking equation out of whack. "Parking in Portland is very challenging no matter where you are, but if there is an event at the civic center, some garages are full and only [take] monthly passes," he says.
Parking fees can put downtown businesses at a real disadvantage compared with the more shopper-centric parking layouts of southern Maine's other retail hotspots, says Steve Crane, general manager of the civic center. "You get free parking at the [Maine] Mall and free parking in Freeport."
Still, Crane sees the increased fees as more of an inconvenience than a death knell for consumer and tourist activity in the city. "Between the Old Port, the waterfront and Congress, there are a lot of desirable reasons to come downtown. I don't think parking is going to deter people," he says.
Parking officials say the new rates simply bring prices more in line with the city's private parking enterprises.
"The private sector has already set the market -- we are just trying to keep at the lower end of that," says Parking Manager John Peverada. "The city of Portland is giving parkers a good deal."
A recent survey done by the city shows average rates across 15 downtown parking garages hovering around $2.48 for the first hour, $2.13 for each additional hour and $24.50 for daily parking (for a rundown of fees at Portland's downtown parking garages, see red locations on map).
View Portland parking garages in a larger map
Rates will not change at two other city-owned garages on Commercial and Temple streets, which are overseen by MHR Management and already charge higher prices closer to the market average. "We're still less than anybody else, but we have a responsibility to the taxpayers" to keep revenue rolling in, says Peverada.
He also cites rising operational costs and an upcoming $300,000 capital repair project at the Elm Street garage as factors in the need to raise parking fees.
Beitzer of Portland's Downtown District says raising rates does a disservice to the downtown business community, which is ever wary of limiting access to the city's shops, venues and restaurants. "It's generally our view that city-owned garages should be used to promote economic development and not be seen as equivalent to what the private sector does," says Beitzer, noting that such garages do not pay taxes.
"For them to say they should be getting the same rate as the private sector does seem a little out of kilter," she says.
Peter Burke, general manager of Binga's Stadium Smokehouse and Sports Bar on Free Street, says parking is "always tight around here," but sees promise in the city's new solar-powered parking pay stations currently being installed throughout the downtown area.
The 18 new multi-space meters accept coins and debit and credit cards, dispensing a ticket that motorists must display inside their vehicle's dashboard. The tickets can be used at any metered spot in the city, allowing drivers to use one ticket for multiple instances of parking within a two-hour period.
"It's going to make it more convenient for the general public to pay for parking," says Burke. "In the past, if you put money in the meter, came out and had an hour left, you drove away and another car took the benefit of it."
The new meters will charge $1 per hour between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and are located in some of the city's busiest commercial districts, including Commercial, Fore and Federal streets as well as three in the vicinity of Maine Medical Center (see yellow locations on map).
