Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(WASHINGTON, DC) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today welcomed news from District Chief Financial Officer Dr. Natwar Gandhi that projected revenue for fiscal year 2012 has increased by $42.2 million over initial estimates. He will request the DC Council approve a supplemental 2012 budget that will eliminate a corresponding amount of spending pressures in several critical areas.
"Like recent figures indicating a significant drop in the District's unemployment rate, this $42.2 million projected revenue increase demonstrates that our city's economy continues to rebound," Mayor Gray said. "The emphasis we have placed on economic development and job creation is paying dividends for all of our residents."
The supplemental budget Mayor Gray will propose eliminates $42.2 million in spending pressures within three significant agencies:
Department of Health Care Finance -- $10.2 million • $6.0 million for an increase in inpatient hospital care • $4.2 million to cover a funding shortfall for the D.C. HealthCare Alliance
Department of General Services -- $10.6 million • $6.5 million for unexpected increases in fixed costs for fuel and water/sewer service for District vehicles and buildings • $4.1 million for adequate maintenance of District facilities – an amount that historically has been under-budgeted
DC Public Schools -- $21.4 million • $4.5 million to cover congressional reductions in federal payments to DCPS • $10.7 million for increases in food-service contracts • $2.8 million for mandated merit-based salary increases for teachers • $3.4 million for increased personnel costs for non-instructional staff
"My goal is to be able to go to Wall Street bond-ratings agencies in February and show them that the District of Columbia has a structurally balanced budget with no spending pressures," Mayor Gray said. "This will be yet more evidence that they should maintain or upgrade the District's credit ratings."
The Gray Administration has made controlling spending pressures a top priority – including the creation of a special task force that identifies spending pressures and immediately seeks ways to remediate them. Through these efforts, the administration has kept spending pressures to a lower amount at this point in the fiscal year than any other year in the post-Control Board era.
Nonetheless, spending pressures arise in any budget, and the Mayor believes strongly that they must be addressed quickly to protect the District's fiscal stability. Mayor Gray plans to transmit a supplemental budget proposal to the Council in January and request that it be moved at the Council's February 7th legislative meeting.
Dr. Gandhi's revenue estimates for future fiscal years also continued to decline based on the impact on the District's economy of future federal budget cuts that will result from the failure of the congressional budget "super committee" to reach an agreement. If the mandatory cuts – known as "sequestration" – end up taking effect, Dr. Gandhi estimated, they will contribute significantly to decreases of District revenues of $46.4 million in FY 2013, $92.1 million in FY 2014, and $129.8 million in FY 2015.
These decreases will come on top of the reductions to revenue that Dr. Gandhi projected in September 2011 of $52.6 million in FY 2013, $57.7 million in FY 2014, and $38.9 million in FY 2015.
The District's current services funding level budget for FY 2013 is also projected to grow by $53.7 million more than was projected when the FY 2012 budget was approved, driven by growth in Medicaid and fixed costs. This means the District faces a projected gap of $152.7 million in FY 2013 between baseline expenses and projected revenue.
Mayor Gray said the federal government's failure to come to a budget agreement will, therefore, force especially stark choices on the District government in proposing the FY 2013 budget.
"A $152.7 million gap would force the District to make incredibly painful cuts on top of the already-difficult choices we had to make in FY 2012 to close a $322.1 million gap," Mayor Gray said. "Regardless of what happens on the Hill, I will propose a structurally balanced FY 2013 budget for the District of Columbia, in which we spend no more than the revenue we are projected to bring in. However, I am very concerned that if the federal government does not work to satisfactorily resolve the federal budget impasse, then the economies of the District of Columbia and our neighboring jurisdictions in the Washington metropolitan area will needlessly experience a disproportionate adverse impact."
Dr. Gandhi will revise revenue estimates one more time, in late February, before the District's FY 2013 budget is proposed on March 23, 2012. If the federal government reaches an agreement prior to the February revenue certification, the revenue decrease from sequestration could be lessened or eliminated altogether.

When To Buy
The market below its 200 DMA signals a problem with demand. The short answer is it is time to buy when the market goes above its 200 DMA. Too bad it is not that simple.
I added some Walgreen in the middle of this decline at $42.24-ish. It is up now but traded with a $40 handle about ten minutes (hyperbole) after I bought it. I have mentioned my intention to add a high yielding food name as well.
Those are the types of things that will work well in this type of environment. Plus as other things were going up (energy and emerging markets) my staples weight declined due to those sectors lagging. I think it is a decent time to add a name or two from these areas.
In addition to caring about the 200 DMA I use a little bit of gut instinct too. Since we have had a couple of false positives with the 200 DMA in the last couple of years and also because I could be wrong about any of this I don't feel the need to move very fast. The history of bear markets is they start slowly and regardless of anyone's opinion we don't yet know if this is a bear market.
At some point this will end, whatever it is, and the market will go back above its 200 DMA and I will add slowly as that happens. Again it could go above for a week and then goes back below so there is no hurry.
I can say there is no hurry because I will never have zero equity exposure. Bounces off the bottom tend to be big and fast. I don't mind lagging but missing entirely is a bad mistake.

Thanks for your comments - and the link. Interesting stuff - I agree, a market above the 200d MA feels a happier and less neglected place, limiting the danger of catching the falling knife (but, I guess, the opportunity of finding an outrageous bargain - that's where the gut comes in too, no?). Your "no hurry" approach to responding to breaks of the average also sounds reasonable - for what it's worth, our FTSE 100 crept above its 200d MA yesterday... making this I think the fifth time it's done so in the last month! Slaves to that indicator would have been nicely whipsawed.

As you know, as I write on my blog I let my own portfolio tell me "when" to buy. The "what" to buy is my own peculiar screening strategy.
If we limit our losses with small losses of 8%, then it is incumbent on us to use some other indicator for a purchase than a sale on a loss or we will be on a slippery slope of compounding losses during a market decline.
With my portfolio at a maximum of 25 positions, I plan on letting it drop to 6 if needed. I only add new positions if I am under 25 positions (or at my minimum of 6 and one is sold) if I sell a stock on "good news" which for me is a partial sale at a gain. I use my own portfolio as a barometer for the entire market.
So far it appears to be working. - 8:29 PM

Not buying below the 200d MA means you miss buying opportunities during bull markets. Of course it will miss the bear markets, which is the goal of this plan.
Personally I do not like it. It is to prone to a lot of small losses and also a number of missed buying opportunities. Other than buy and hold, no I do not have a better fixed rule so I should not be to critical.
But personally I think people need to find a better way to identify bear markets and avoid fixed rules (they are too costly). I find this requires a lot of good judgment. You do not even need to be right all the time. You only need to identify a few sell signals a decade to do well. - 6:07 AM

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It is probably better to just keeping homeschooling than to send your kids to this school. Kids get a quite a bit of homework and usually need a lot of help from parents in order to keep up with their grades.
This school is outstanding. Three of my kids attend / attended this school with great success in achieving the academic goals from the higher level of learner and focus. My oldest has graduated and had four plus colleges after her with full scholarships. Chaparral Star Academy has provided my kids the confidence, the ability to achieve more than what the public schools had to offer. This school and the quality teachers are directly responsible for making me feel my kids will be all they can be and more. Now in saying this and having been in the corporate world for over 20 years, no corporation, company or institution exists that has not had some issues/problems. There have been some teachers in the past that did not seem on board with Chaparral Star Academy, its core beliefs and structure. They are now gone and I see from other posts that it may not have been by their choice (but that's none of our business). I am proud of the school for making its stand on the behalf of the students. That is what it should be about, the future of the school and its students. I would recommend and refer anyone who is looking for a higher level of education for their kids.
I completely agree with the review below. This school did start out with solid purpose and good intentions, but over time bureaucracy has run amuck. You can survive at this place if your child is quick, compliant, and not affected by verbal abuse. "Star is not for everyone" means "we only want students that will help us maintain our exemplary rating." They hide behind having "compact, accelerated" schooldays to keep only the best and brightest, and then take away resource after resource from teachers knowing that due to the half-day schedule there's near 100% stay-at-home parent involvement, and those parents will pick up the slack wherever the school falls short. Toward the end, my husband and I did literally ask ourselves what we were sending the kids to school at all for anymore since I was practically homeschooling anyway. There were some fabulous teachers who had gotten very proficient at teaching without resources, and they didn't get their contracts renewed for "not fitting with the vision and direction of the school" which is a major compliment. Please save yourself the life lesson and look elsewhere for your child's education.
This school is just wonderful! I have 2 kids who have been at CSA, one is a Sr. this year & 1 a Sr in college. The 1st year my older son was at CSA there were 11 students in his class -- we received and continue to receive a private school caliber education for our public school dollars. The small class size and non-acceptance of disciplinary issues from transfer students are a huge part of being able to do more educating in less time. The parents who are leaving negative reviews are upset over some staff leaving -- no teacher has tenure at this school, you must be asked back every year. The school board & administrative staff are bound BY LAW to not discuss issues involving personnel. It is one thing to support your child's teacher and another thing entirely to show up at a board meeting with the pitchforks & torches (figuratively). The school does not present itself as being "one size fits all", & states quite clearly the type of student that will benefit most from attending. We now have activities like pep-squad and Jr/Sr trips, speaking to the fact that the faculty & staff support one another. The principal rocks, from parking lot duty to dressing up for book fair!!
We have been a part of the Chaparral Star Academy family for over 4 years. It is a great school. The classes are small and the teachers are able to get to know their students and their abilities and they work to get the best out of each and every student. The standards and expectations are high and the students work for their grades so that they actually mean something and aren't just handed out for showing up, but for the work the student does. It is only a 4 hour school day and a lot has to be covered, so homework is definitely a part of the package. It has to be. The school was designed for kids that are self motivated and can work independently which is clearly stated on the website. We are thrilled with the education our child is receiving and highly recommend this school to students that are motivated and willing to work.
I will be a senior this year at CSA. I love this school and feel I have gotten a great education and that I will be ready for college next year. The faculty is great at giving one on one time and making sure that we understand the material. It is challenging, but a good education should be. Most of the people that complain and leave, don't want to work hard. We have some great extracurricular opportunities and I will be thrilled to be a CSA graduate.
I appreciate that our principal is in charge and doesn't cower to parents demanding the outrageous. A school that caters to the parents instead of the students is certainly headed for disaster. CSA is definitely looking out for the best interest of its students. Rules are clearly communicated and I get frustrated when families won't follow them. The front office is cordial and accommodating. I appreciate that the CSA teachers take their jobs seriously and do their best to prepare their students for success in all areas, not just school. I wish all schools could operate with the professionalism CSA exhibits. I feel my child gets the best education possible and I have nothing to complain about.
This school is certainly not for all children. When they say to you, "this model does not fit everyone" they mean: special ed or even kids who work slowly or your child will be run out by threat of failing or being told you need full day program. But they will take your tax money, thanks. Also, this school is not for children who are "gifted and talented" though they would like for to believe that they attract the top echelon of learners. They refuse to provide appropriate materials for kids who can excel or train the teachers to teach them. Last year, this school refused to buy readers for my child's top level reading group, instead giving my child's teacher textbooks from the 1970's. This request was finally met in April, after most of my child's opportunity to learn for the year had elapsed. The school library, used to supplement my younger daughter's reading material last year when there were no textbooks available for her, was removed at the end of last year as though it was not a crucial resource. This was done without parent input. The school's motto is "to be the best school in the world" which about sums up the experience. Grandiosity without anything to merit the claim.
I recently graduated from Chaparral Star Academy after spending 8 years there and am getting ready to head off to college in a couple days now. Because of Star I couldn't feel more ready and prepared for college than I do right now. The teachers at Star are amazing and I'm so lucky to have had a good portion of them at some time. The school is definitely advanced paced and hard but as a student, and I'm not speaking for all students, just myself, it is something that I came to appreciate so much. Had the school not been harder I don't think I would be nearly as prepared and confident to start my college experience as I am. My last year at Star was incredible and CSA has become a second family to me. Even though I feel so ready to continue my adventure through life it's hard for me to think that I won't be going back to Star as a student. Star pushes its students to be their best and I have Star to thank for helping me get to that point myself. I noticed that there weren't many reviews from students and I wanted to make sure people see how grateful I am to Star for being the awesome school that it is. 2013 Chaparral Star Academy Graduate
There are a number of issues with this school. First, there is simply not enough time to adequately teach the subjects, and still meet the state's non-academic requirements (such as PE). As a result, much is demanded of parents in order to prepare the students. Frankly, it would be easier to home school. Second, membership on the board is determined by the sitting members of the board. This allows the board to completely ignore the voices of parents and teachers. Third, the administration is completely focused on performing well on standardized tests. Under-performing students are not encouraged to excel, but rather encouraged to find a new school. Finally, the administration seems much more interested in attempting to direct traffic on public roads than interested in improving the performance of students. This is not a joke. The principal regularly screams at parents in the drop-off line. If your only criterion for a school is that it be a half-day program, then you might wish to consider Chaparral Star Academy.
The school has been such a blessing for myself and so many families. I inquired about the new crop of elementary teachers coming in, and they seem amazing! One of them was nominated as teacher of the year in a previous school district! The environment has been wonderful with so many fantastic students, parents and staff. A strong community that has both an academic push and love for kids. It is a half day school so you are warned, up front, that they fit more into the day than a typical school and to be prepared for homework. In the end, the education they get is well worth it and surpasses what you see in most schools.
As a long-time parent of this school, I receive an email notice anytime a review is posted about CSA. I'm intelligent enough to form my own opinion about the practices of this school and I certainly suspect that any parent whom blatantly posts such negative comments (referring to the negative comment from 9-7-12) must have broken rules and just doesn't like being asked to follow reasonable processes. The most wonderful thing about CSA is that you are not stuck with it as your only alternative. If it is not a good fit for your family, you can choose something else. Simple as that. It's been my experience that, no matter what school you attend, the registrar is required to seek a reason for the tardy and no age is exempt from supplying the "why". How ridiculous for a parent to act as if that is wrong. If you don't like your children being asked why they are tardy......get your kids to school on time. Simple as that. As far as the other comments from this parent.....they have no value with me. The comments about tardies are proof enough this parent has a skewed idea about the way things SHOULD be. Thank you CSA! I love this school!
My daughter has attended Star for 2 years and loves it. The smaller class size and individual attention it affords are fabulous. It is definitely not the school for everyone however if your child is highly involved in a sport and is self motivated and disciplined- it may be a perfect fit. For my child, it has worked very well- she goes to school, comes home and eats a healthy lunch and then does homework for 3-4 hours. When she is done, she goes to her sport training classes. When she was in public school, she would go straight from school to training and had to eat and do homework in the car- definitely not ideal. Now, my child is learning and thriving at Star. I also think the condensed schedule is a nice preparation for college- you go to class lectures and learn for a small portion of your day, get your assignments and then have to budget your time to complete your work and succeed. No place is right for everyone but Star has certainly been a great fit for our family.
Perfect school for us! Chaparral Star Academy is not for everyone, we have met lots of people that it doesn't work for. What we love: No fluff- all those things I hated at public school, we don't have to worry about here. No cafeteria headaches (they do not eat lunch at school), no wasted time lining up in the hall to be shuttled to another class (and yelled at by the teachers while doing so), no "dead time" during class, no recess. Zero tolerance for discipline issues. It is such a relief to not have to worry about your child one bit when sending him to school each day. Instead of him coming home with stories of who got in trouble that day and what they did to whom, he has only stories about what they learned and discovered. Love having the same teachers for several years in a row, I feel that they really get to know my child's strengths and weaknesses and we don't have to spend half the year getting to know a new teachers' way of doing things. What's not to love about a 4 hour school day! He's happy, we're happy!
My daughter is doing so well at Star. I've watched Star grow for the past 10 years and have to say, it is better now than it has ever been. It seems the only people unhappy with Star are the ones who fail to realize that Star is simply not for everyone. It's a demanding school suited for serious students. Any struggling student is better off at a school that does not have such a rigorous model. For students and families looking for a college prep academy, look no further than Chaparral Star Academy. I'm so glad Star has an administration interested in consistent improvement and professionalism.
My daughter came from another Charter School. We LOVE Star. The teachers are amazing, loving and committed. Both Mrs. Hagin (the Principal) and Mr. Barnett (the Asst. Principal) are dedicated to the school the represent and the students. They are both outside during drop-off and pick-up supervising the students they care so much about. You can actually tell by the way they "protect" the children crossing the parking lot that the children are their priority. The teachers are just as wonderful as the administrative staff. I honestly can't say one bad thing about the school, the principals or the staff. Highly recommend. Students are encouraged to go above and beyond. WONDERFUL!!
There are some great advantages being at Star - small class sizes, K-12th grade curriculum, very involved parents, and a few amazing teachers. It's a great school for parents who can put forth the amount of time needed to help their student(s) with homework, etc because that is the only way for a child to be successful at this school. However, the atmosphere is less than desirable. The many involved parents are entitled and demanding and, among the teachers, there are very few who go above and beyond what they consider their "duties" to students (in other words not many "invested" teachers), especially among the much younger grade levels. It's a disconnected feeling you notice when you are there but a place great for that homeschooling family looking for a little more. Just don't expect to be "wow"ed - other than with the new school building.
My daughters have been attending Star Charter School for 4 years. We love Mr. Simon and Mrs. Richardson. They have been very instrumental in my girls learning. I hope to see my kids graduate from SCS in the future. I hope they NEVER open up the class sizes, because that is where things will change.
I am a new parent that just enrolled my child in star (he was previously homeschooled). I found that I really enjoyed the feel and friendliness of the campus when we visited. You don't feel the need to dress your child in expensive clothes in order to fit in. The school is exemplary, but my son has been far ahead academically so we do supplement at home. So far it has been an enjoyable experience and we love the afternoon session.

President's Blog
As a new year begins, I am committing to a new weekly task—a personal blog! It is something that I have wanted to do for some time, but the new year motivates me to take the initiative and try it.
A great deal of my time is spent communicating with others about Lipscomb University—what is happening and what is planned for the work of this great institution. My hope, however, is that the blog will move beyond the university and allow me to comment on social, cultural, educational and religious issues of the day. While I do not pretend that my insight is all that special, I do have the perspective of one who is privileged to lead a growing higher education institution and be very engaged with many local and national organizations. Those of us in the academic environment are expected to do some thinking and writing, so I will humbly offer my thoughts in a format that gives us a unique communication opportunity.
Hopefully, this blog will cause readers to think and to share their thoughts as well. A significant aspect of any blog is that response, and I will be appreciative of your contribution to our conversation. After many years in the field of conflict management, I strongly believe that dialogue—even among those who may not see the world the same way—is the key to building great communities.
I appreciate your interest and engagement!
Remembering America's Tuning Fork

Recently, as I took an early morning look at my i-Phone, I read the news flash that Pete Seeger had died. Most of the almost six thousand students I work with at Lipscomb University will have never heard of Pete Seeger—even though the news of his passing at age 94 may have flashed on their phones as well. But, even not knowing him, many students would have appreciated the spirit of his music and perhaps...

One could have been impressed with many aspects of President Barack Obama's visit to Nashville last week. The security that is ever-present for a presidential visit, the students from McGavock High School who greeted him and hosted the event, the obvious pride of our community as he visited our city for the first time since his election six years ago and the energy that the president himself displayed during his brief appearance in Middle Tennessee....

Have you seen the billboards? In recent months those who live without God have been announcing their presence along interstates across the country. The messages are not confrontational or critical. They are well crafted and easy to connect with. They reflect the atheists among us and do so in a dignified way. Additionally, just before the Christmas holiday, a congregation of atheist announced their presence in Nashville. This worldwide group, founded in London, has established...

Historically, America has always been extremely good at "fixing" itself. I remember as a teenager watching televised news report of race riots in Washington, D.C., Vietnam protests and seeing smoke billow behind the Capitol dome from those street activities in the '60s. It was unsettling, but it triggered creative solutions that served the common good in race relations and other sensitive political issues. But I am unsettled again. Do we still have the stuff we...

Leslie Fitzwater, spokeswoman for the state mine safety office, said monetary penalties for the individual citations have not yet been proposed by her agency. The state's documents did not list the age, hometown or contact information for the five foremen.
Both of the coal-mining deaths in West Virginia so far in 2012 occurred at Alpha operations. Last week, Clyde Dolin, 57, was killed at Alpha subsidiary Independence Coal's Liberty Processing plant in Boone County.
Independence Coal was among the operations that Alpha inherited when it purchased Massey Energy in June 2011, while Kingston was already an Alpha subsidiary.
Alpha officials have promoted their company safety program, "Running Right," as the solution to improving health-and-safety performance, especially at the former Massey operations it purchased nearly a year ago.
Ted Pile, an Alpha spokesman, said that management at his company's Kingston subsidiary have not yet seen the state's report.
"So we haven't had any time to assess the report and its conclusions," Pile said. "In any event it's highly unlikely that we'd talk about any actions we might or might not take involving individual employees. We just don't discuss personnel matters in the public arena."

Contestant Blogs
This Week's Contestant
Matt R.
Theme: | Sandals(R) Resorts Golf Getaway Week |
Hometown: | Somersworth, NH |
Week of: | 08-20-2012 |
You know that one person in your life that you hate playing games with? The puzzle nerd with his head constantly in a crossword puzzle or a Sudoku? The uncle that always seems to know the answers before the question is asked? Or the best friend that can often times solve the puzzle with only three or four letters? Well, in my life, that person...is me.
My wife says watching Wheel of Fortune with me is annoying. My grandmother used to think I somehow "must have seen this before" when I would solve a puzzle while we watched Wheel. Despite the constant needling, I always heard from my family and friends "Matt, you'd be great on that show, if you could just get on Wheel of Fortune... ". That was all I needed to hear! I filled out the application on the WoF website a few years ago, and never thought much about it after that. I knew my chances of actually getting on the show were slim to none! That was until early September when I got an email stating that I had been invited to an invitation-only Wheel of Fortune tryout in Boston. At first I thought the email was a fake (as do most contestants, I bet), but I confirmed the validity of the email, and reserved my spot at the tryout. I knew I would need to miss a day of work, but it's only an hour from here to Boston, and besides... how many chances does someone get in life to try out for the world's most popular game show? At the very least, I knew it would be a once in a lifetime experience.
The tryout day finally came and I was terrified. I was so nervous, I managed to back into a basketball hoop with my wife's new car, as well as make two wrong turns on my way into Boston. I hoped these weren't bad omens for the rest of the day's events! I arrived at the Lenox Hotel, and proceeded to the ballroom which, to my surprise, was already filled with at least 40 people when I got there. After we all settled in, and our contestant coordinators took note of our first names and where we were sitting, we started to play some mock WoF games. I was called on twice, and despite not getting the opportunity to solve a puzzle, I was as enthusiastic as I could possibly be. Laughing, smiling, and clapping for the others... anything to show how excited I was to be there!
Halfway through the audition, they passed out a written test. There was 15 or 16 WoF/Hangman type puzzles listed on the paper. It was our job to fill in as many as we could in the allotted five minutes. Some of them were easy, and some were pretty tricky. I'm thankful my brain was working at full capacity that day, as I was able to complete every puzzle on the test. The contestant coordinators collected the tests, and left the room to grade them. After about 15 minutes, they returned to the room, and told us that now was the tough part... about half of us would get to stay and play more, and half of us would be sent home. I really felt like even if they didn't get to see much of my enthusiasm on display, I had proven that I was a good puzzle solver, and that HAS to count for something, right?? You never know what they're looking for in a contestant, or how you look through someone else's eyes, so I was still nervous about what would happen next. They started calling names of people who would be asked to stay. Each time a name was called, it was Amy P., Sharon S., Richard T., Dorothy B., but still no Matt R.! I was starting to feel a little defeated when the second to last name called was mine! Hot damn, I had made it to the second part of the audition!
The second part was more like a real game of WoF. We stood up, 6 contestants at a time, and played more of America's favorite game show. We clapped, we called out letters in our loudest, clearest voices, and we even simulated spinning the big wheel. After each group played their game, each person was asked to say something about themselves. This was my least favorite part, as I tend to be a nervous talker, but I had rehearsed what I was going to say, so I think it came out pretty smoothly. After the audition concluded, we were told that if we were selected to be on the show, we would get a letter in the mail in two weeks. I left Boston really really wanting to get that letter, but at the same time knowing that my chances of being on WoF were still pretty slim, and no matter what, I had had a ton of fun that day... and even got a souvenir "I auditioned for Wheel of Fortune" pencil!
The waiting process was a killer. I tried to put it out of my mind, but like I said, I really wanted that letter! I auditioned on a Thursday, and exactly one week later, I got a call from a contestant coordinator saying they WANTED ME TO BE ON THE SHOW!!!!! The poor woman, I must have said "Are you serious??" and "Shut up! For real??" to her at least a dozen times! I told my wife when she got home, and she was so excited and so loud my son said "Mommy, can you stop? you're kinda freaking me out." Imagine how much screaming she would do if I won on the show!! Tune in on Thursday, August 23rd, to see if the excitement continued in Los Angeles!

AEN creatine rt creapure, fruit punch was good...
AEN creatine rt creapure, fruit punch was good...
Creatine RT. AEN makes decent products although I haven't tried any I hear good things.
Guess I'm slow hvac!
lol...AEN does make quality products though their alittle expensive.
thanks guys. They are pricy I agree. I still could just mix greenmag with unflavored creapure.
i mix mine in my preworkout, on off days i mix in with my smoothies..
No need for the creapure if your running green mag. When you run out of the green mag just get some bulk creapure and put it in a protein drink.
i was under the impression he was needing creapure for off days and green mag for training days..like said above no need to mix both, heck you could even use mcc..
I always add my German Creatine to my proteindrink, works like a charm... For me, I see no need for a flavored version... But if money wasn't an issue, I would use Ultra Reps on non workout days too... getting a full dose of german creatine along with carnosine and a good taste!
In my experience, a cheaper creatine taste worst then a purer one like german creatine.. (even though they are "tasteless") , that sandy flavor of the cheap ones nearly makes me p***! , specially the last part that doesn't disolve!
AX | I Representative
besides most do not use creatine because its delicious but more so for the outcome....AX is very affordable creapure....
Just add some Crystal Light or MiO to your Creapure if you can't stand the nonexistent taste.
Mix it with juice.....
Creature is a blend of creatines and is flavored. Rather expensive but honestly is one of the best tasting things i have tried.. if you like lemon lime that is..
AX Ultra Reps tastes great and creapure is its base. It is also non-stim.
Creapure is pretty much tasteless to me and I can add it to almost anything. That is what I do with AX German Creatine. I just stir it in some water and don't even know it is there.

My brows can get a little outta control with random hairs poking in different directions. I usually tame them with a gel - can't remember what it is, but it's a drugstore brand. It's also slightly tinted.
I was excited to try this product because it is not tinted. I color my hair darker than my natural color and have my brows tinted to match, so until that color starts to fade or grow out, I don't need a tinted brow gel. I thought this could be a great solution. It's a good one, but I can't say it's a must-have. I'll probably continue to try other products to see how they all compare before choosing a go-to.
I purchased this wax stick thinking it would be THE thing to hold some of the stray brow hairs in place because I have stubborn brows that do what they want and gels don't work because they don't dry in place fast enough. I thought the wax would be enough hold but still flexible to account for facial expressions. Well, maybe it's me, but when you pencil it on it may hold the hairs down for a second but they pop right back up. Doesn't work.
I love Anastasia eyebrow products but this one is definitely necessary if you don't want to ruin all your hard work! As a college student I occasionally take naps throughout the day and with the way I sleep, I usually wake up with my eyebrows all unruly which really messes up the eyebrow "makeup" I applied in the morning. With brow fix, the tiny hairs finally stay in place ALL day :)
I've been battling with my eyebrows for the past couple of months (thanks to some zealous over-plucking mishaps) and wanted a product that would hold everything in place without appearing shiny or waxy. I've been using L'Oreal Paris Brow Stylist duo pencils for my eyebrows, and the only trouble I've run into with the Anastasia Brow Fix is that it tends to take that makeup off of my skin. However, I suspect that it's because I'm 1) pressing too hard and 2) lacking a more effective brow pencil. I plan to purchase the IT Cosmetics brow filler and expect much better results afterward.
Anastasia in my opinion can't be topped in brow product. You apply this to your brows after you are completely done with eyeshadow, brow color etc. It holds your eyebrows exactly how you want them. You can style them up or just keep them in your natural arch. Will keep a stock pile.
A great product for keeping stray brows in place. Quick and easy to use. Love this product. Would highly recommend
I like it a lot. it works well and goes on smooth. it's probably the best highlighter I've had. I plan on buying it again for sure.
I had over plucked and over plucked over the years to the point that my brows where almost nonexistent. This product helps tame brows and guide them in the right direction during the regrowth process. My brows are almost back to normal and I'm pretty excited about that!
I had never tried one of these before but I love it. I'll use it more this weekend for a better feel.
I love this stuff! A professional makeup artist turned me on to it and it has been a must have ever since. It keeps my brows in place and the pencil lasts forever!

Nintendo's beloved, madcap "Mario Kart" racing franchise is known for its zany race cars, even zanier power-ups and for delivering nothing but high-speed, high-octane fun.
With the new "Mario Kart 7" game about to launch for the Nintendo 3DS, the game company has launched a new TV advertisement imagining what it might be like if we could really jump into the game's wacky cartoon karts and race them against our friends on colorful courses that seem almost real.
The ad itself is a pretty nifty blend of the real world and the animated one. Check out the below video for yourself.
But what's really cool, is catching a glimpse of how the ad was made ... and realizing that they used real, fully operational karts plucked from the game design when they shot the video. California-based stunt driving company Drivers Inc. posted the following behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot:
If only Mario's real-world kart also came with a real-world pop-out hang glider. I'd run right out and buy myself one. Alas, it looks like we'll have to stick to flying cars in "Mario Kart 7" which officially launches Dec. 4.
(Thanks to GameSetWatch for the heads up.)

Our Science – Pathak Website
Vinay K. Pathak, Ph.D.
Dr. Vinay K. Pathak received his B.A. in Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1979. He obtained his M.S. in Comparative Pathology in 1983 from the University of California, Davis, for characterization of mouse mammary tumor virus proviral integration sites near the int1 and int2 loci in mammary tumors and hyperplastic tissues in Dr. Robert Cardiff's laboratory. He received his Ph.D. for work on characterization of the eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factors eIF-2a and eIF-2b in Dr. John W.B. Hershey's laboratory at the University of California, Davis, in 1988. He was a postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Dr. Howard Temin from 1988 to 1991, where he determined the in vivo forward mutation rate of spleen necrosis virus and characterized the nature of mutations that arise during retroviral replication. These studies were the first to report G-to-A hypermutation in a retrovirus, now known to be the result of cytidine deamination by host restriction APOBEC3 proteins. In 1991, Dr. Pathak became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at West Virginia University. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 1998. He joined the National Cancer Institute in 1999 as Senior Investigator and Head of the Viral Mutation Section in the HIV Drug Resistance Program. Dr. Pathak was appointed as Guest Editor for the 'HIV Drug Resistance' special issue of Viruses, published in 2010. In 2012, he received the NIH Asian and Pacific Islander American Organization Award for outstanding accomplishments in biomedical research. He currently serves as a member of the organizing committee of the Annual Norman P. Salzman Symposium in Virology, NIH, and as a member of the Earl Stadtman Virology Search Committee.Research
HIV-1 Replication, Host Restriction Factors, Antiviral Drug Resistance, and Development of Novel Therapeutics
Project 1. Develop Novel Therapeutics by Targeting Vif-APOBEC3 Interactions. Inhibition of Deltavif HIV-1 by APOBEC3G (A3G) and APOBEC3F (A3F) requires their expression in the virus producer cells and incorporation into virions. A3G and A3F deaminate cytidines in minus-strand DNA, causing G-to-A hypermutation and inhibiting viral DNA synthesis. HIV-1 Vif (Vif1) overcomes these host defenses by targeting A3G and A3F for proteasomal degradation. The Vif1-A3G and Vif1-A3F interactions provide two potential targets for development of pharmacological agents that interfere with Vif1-mediated degradation of A3G and A3F (Xu et al., PNAS, 2004; Russell et al., J. Virol., 2007; Smith & Pathak, J. Virol. 2010). To identify such small-molecule inhibitors, we have developed cell-based high-throughput assays and we are collaborating with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) to identify molecules that specifically inhibit the Vif1-A3G and Vif1-A3F interactions. Vif1 binds to several host proteasomal proteins; we are collaborating with the NCATS to carry out a small-interfering-RNA (siRNA) screen to identify host factors that may be involved in Vif1-mediated degradation of A3G and A3F. Gene therapy for HIV-1 infected individuals has the potential to provide a one-time treatment that will reduce viral load, lessen the use of toxic antiviral drugs, and preserve or improve immune function. Our goal is to test the hypothesis that expression of Vif1-resistant A3G and A3F proteins in HIV-1 target cells will reduce viral loads and control HIV-1 replication. We are developing novel retroviral vectors that can efficiently deliver the Vif1-resistant A3G and A3F to hematopoietic stem cells, and will use a humanized mouse model system to determine the effect of the gene therapy on HIV-1 viral load and preservation of CD4+ T cells. These studies will provide the proof of concept that gene therapy with Vif1-resistant A3G and A3F can provide an effective treatment for HIV-1 infection.
Project 2. Elucidate the Structure and Function of APOBEC3 Proteins. We have shown that A3G and A3F both inhibit viral DNA integration, but through distinctly different mechanisms (Mbisa et al., J. Virol., 2007; Mbisa et al., J. Virol., 2010). We also developed a bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay to visualize A3G and A3F molecular interactions in living cells and observed that A3G and A3F multimerization, A3G-Gag interactions, and A3G virion incorporation require RNA binding (Friew et al., Retrovirology, 2009). We recently compared the antiviral activity of A3G and A3F in primary CD4+ T cells and macrophages, the natural target cells of infection, and found that while both can inhibit HIV-1 replication A3G is a more potent inhibitor of HIV-1 than A3F (Chaipan et al., J. Virol., 2013). We recently showed for the first time that A3G and A3F remain associated with HIV-1 preintegration complexes (PICs) in the nuclei of infected cells (Burdick et al., PNAS, 2013). Using A3F-labeling as a novel tool to visualize PICs, we determined that 1) reverse transcription is not required for nuclear import of PICs, indicating that a viral core uncoating event associated with reverse transcription, and the central DNA flap that forms during reverse transcription, are not required for nuclear import; 2) viral core stability mutations dramatically reduce association of PICs with the nuclear envelope as well as diminish their nuclear import; and 3) most nuclear PICs remain close to the nuclear envelope and are not distributed throughout the nuclei. We are also analyzing HIV-2 Vif (Vif2) interactions with A3G and A3F and find that these structural determinants are different from the Vif1-A3G and Vif1-A3F interaction determinants. Hypermutation by A3G and A3F can potentially contribute to viral genetic variation and evolution. We have observed that replication of a Vif1 mutant defective in blocking A3G exhibits strong purifying selection at multiple steps in viral replication (Russell et al., Retrovirology, 2009). We are analyzing replication of Vif1 mutants defective in blocking A3G or A3F by ultra-deep pyrosequencing to gain a comprehensive view of the impact of APOBEC3 proteins on HIV-1 genetic diversity, selection, and evolution.
Project 3. Explore Mechanisms of Antiviral Drug Resistance, Host Factors, and Retroviral Replication. Most studies of clinical drug resistance to nucleoside and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NRTIs and NNRTIs, respectively) analyze the first 300 amino acids of RT and do not include the C-terminal connection subdomain (CN) or the RNase H domain (RH). We observed that several mutations in the CN and RH reduce RNase H activity, thereby affecting the balance between RNA degradation and nucleotide excision and enhancing NRTI resistance ( Nikolenko et al., PNAS, 2005; Nikolenko et al., PNAS, 2007; Delviks-Frankenberry et al., PNAS, 2008). Our studies have demonstrated that mutations in the CN and the RH can also increase resistance to NNRTIs, and suggest a parallel mechanism by which resistance to both classes of RT inhibitors can be increased (Nikolenko et al., J. Virol., 2010). It has been observed that CN mutations are present in drug-naïve patients, and we are exploring the mechanisms by which CN mutations may be selected prior to initiation of antiviral therapy.
While investigating the functional relevance of A3G localization to P bodies, we found that P body-associated protein Mov10 potently inhibits HIV-1 replication by reducing virus production and inhibiting reverse transcription (Burdick et al., J. Virol., 2010). We are elucidating the mechanism by which Mov10 inhibits HIV-1 replication, and found that association of Mov10 and A3G with cytoplasmic mRNA processing bodies is not required for their virion incorporation and antiviral activity (Izumi et al., J. Virol., 2013).
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV), a gammaretrovirus, was reportedly found in prostate cancer (PC) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients at high frequencies. However, we found that XMRV replication is severely restricted by human APOBEC3 proteins (Paprotka et al., J. Virol., 2010) and XMRV and spread are severely restricted in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (Chaipan et al., J. Virol., 2011), raising doubts about robust XMRV replication in these cells as previously reported. To gain insights into the origin of XMRV, we analyzed PC xenografts that were passaged in nude mice and used to develop a cell line that produces XMRV that is nearly identical to the viruses isolated from patients. The results showed that XMRV is most likely a recombinant between two murine endogenous proviruses that we named PreXMRV-1 and PreXMRV-2 (Paprotka et al., Science, 2011). We concluded that the association between XMRV and human disease is due to contamination of human samples with virus originating from this unique recombination event.

A$AP Rocky Responds To Tyler, The Creator's Criticism Of "F**kin' Problems"
A$AP Rocky also discusses how he was upset "a lot" by his album leaking a month in advance.
When A$AP Rocky released his single "Fuckin' Problems," Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator took to Twitter to criticize the track. "So Funny When Someone Releases A new Song With The Same 4 People That We Expected To Be On It With The Same Shitty 'Trap' Beat Hahaha," he wrote.
During an interview with Life+Times, the Harlem, New York native responded to the message, stating that it didn't faze him. "He has his opinions and he's entitled to them, so it's whatever," he said. "Hell no, I'm not tripping over what Tyler, The Creator said. I'm Jiggy."
Rocky also addressed his debut album LongLiveA$AP leaking to the Internet a month before its release. While he was fearful that it would hurt album sales, he says that he's pleased with the results but was upset when it happened.
"At first, a lot. I can't lie. But then when I started seeing the great responses I was like… 'Fine!' We still got to number one. My mom thought that the leak would affect the sales and if I'm honest, it did affect sales but how do you still manage to be number one? It leaked over a month early too. That's fucking crazy! It just goes to show people really fuck with ya boy out here. My mom downloaded the album illegally by the way."
Last month, the A$AP Mob member released his debut, which bowed at No. 1 on the charts with 139,000 copies sold.

Two Arrest Warrants Out For Suge Knight
Suge Knight failed to appear in court last week for two cases, and it could result in his third extended stay in prison since 1995.
Just days after being photographed with employee-turned-nemesis Snoop Dogg, an arrest warrant has been issued for Suge Knight. According to TMZ.com, the former co-founder of Death Row Records and executive producer of classic albums from Snoop, Dr. Dre and Tupac reportedly missed a court hearing on Thursday (February 20), the same day he was photographed in a Los Angeles, California club.
The Compton native is currently sought for two cases: one in 2011 and another in 2012, both for reportedly driving without a license. In turn, two warrants in the amount of $5,000 and $30,000 have been issued for Knight, who is already reportedly on unsupervised probation.
This is the latest in a career marred by legal troubles for the onetime mogul. Knight has been charged with assault, drug possession, in addition to losing his longtime label in bankruptcy in 2008. If arrested, this will be Knight's second arrest since he was famously incarcerated for violating probation when filmed teamed with Tupac Shakur in a Las Vegas, Nevada altercation just moments before the rapper was fatally shot.
Earlier this year, Knight was filmed driving in Los Angeles with Katt Williams following a parking lot fight. The story and footage is also available at TMZ.

The cup is so sweet, with praline and maple, bittersweet balance, and lingering tea-like tannins. The mouthfeel is weighty, and similar to apple juice. When it cools there's a black tea with lemon note that comes out and compliments the sweet, caramel-corn flavor in the finish. This would make a great SO espresso as well as the great brewed coffee that it is. City+ to Full City+.

Halo Headlines: Hypothetical trade package for Greinke, Angels not interested in Fuentes, Vegas makes Weaver and Trout amongst favorites for Cy Young and MVP
The July 12th, 2012 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including a hypothetical trade offer for Zack Greinke, Halos not interested in Brian Fuents, Weaver and Trout favorites for end of season awards and much more...
The Story: A hypothetical trade to bring Zack Greinke to the Angels.
The Monkey Says: I think that proposal is close. You will note that it does not include Peter Bourjos which many fans have assumed would be involved. As I have said before, he is too much of a proven commodity to be forked over for a rental. Any Greinke deal would be strictly for prospects, although maybe Walden gets tossed in if the Brewers really like him. The only thing I find wrong with the package in the article is that it includes Ariel Pena whereas I think the Angels would try and convince a team to take Johnny Hellweg instead since he is of similar value but not as close to the majors as Pena.
The Story: The Angels have no interest in picking up recently released Brian Fuentes.
The Monkey Says: I think he would've been worth taking a no-cost gamble on since the pen could use another lefty in middle relief... oh well.
The Monkey Says: Weaver has the best odds for the Cy Young but Trout only has the second-best odds for MVP. None of this means anything because Vegas prop bets have no bearing on the awards, I just don't have a lot of interesting stories to post because we are still stuck in the All-Star break dead zone for news.
The Story: Will the second Wild Card help or hurt the Angels?
The Monkey Says: It can only help. If they make it as a Wild Card playing that stupid one-game series with the other Wild Card will make it harder for them to win in the ALDS, but if that is really an insurmountable obstacle, then they probably weren't going to win the World Series anyway. I also think it will be a good thing for the Halos to keep pushing for the AL West crown so that they don't have to play that Wild Card series as it will keep them playing hard all season even if they lock up a Wild Card with a few weeks left in the year. Or at least that is what I am going to tell myself to make it OK when the Angels don't win the division. Whatever the case, Mike Scioscia will still find a way to gripe about the way the post-season schedule is organized.
The Story: The Angels are poised for a strong second half.
The Monkey Says: Apparently having a brutal July schedule somehow sets them up for a strong second half? Yeah, I don't get it either. This is also probably a bad time to mention that all those injured Texas pitchers are due back real soon. The Halos are going to have their work cut out for them.
The Story: Looking at how pitchers react to long home runs, featuring Bobby Cassevah.
The Monkey Says: This is the biggest contribution Cassevah has made to the Angels all season long.

[JURIST] The UN General Assembly [official website] was divided Thursday over the the issue of decriminalizing homosexuality [press release] as 66 nations signed a statement calling for decriminalization, and nearly 60 nations signed an opposing statement. The representative from Argentina, speaking on behalf of primarily European and Latin American countries, including the UK, Germany, and Brazil, read a statement urging states to:
take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative or administrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention.
The ageless cliche that everyone is equal but some are more equal than others is not acceptable. No human being should be denied their human rights simply because of their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. No human being should be subject to discrimination, violence, criminal sanctions or abuse simply because of their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

Celebrity Dads Song Tributes For Their Babies Songbirds: 10 Dads Who've Written Songs For Their New Babies by Rebecca M Gruber 1/10/12 2 Reactions 13 Shares Print 0 4 8 1 0 Well that didn't take long! Just hours after the birth of baby Blue Ivy Carter, the hip-hop princess's daddy has released an incredibly sweet song about the lil one. Jay-Z hit the airwaves today with "Glory," a four-minute ode to his newborn daughter. In the song Jay-Z raps that, "Words can't describe what I'm feeling, for real!" Jay-Z isn't the first dad to sing about his love for his new baby. Some of the music world's biggest stars have written hit songs about their hours- and days-old tots. Check out our list and tell us: which new father's song is your favorite? Source: WireImage Jay-Z What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Just 24 hours after the birth of his daughter, Jay-Z is celebrating with the release of "Glory," a song that covers everything from past miscarriages Beyoncé Knowles experienced, to baby Blue Ivy Carter's conception in Paris, and the new dad's love of his hours-old tot. The recording even features some sounds of baby Blue Ivy Carter cooing in the background. The lyrics of the song include: The most amazing feeling I feel Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real Baby I paint the sky blue My greatest creation was you False alarms and false starts All made better by the sound of your heart All the pain of the last time I pray so hard it was the last time Your mama said that you danced for her Did you wiggle your hands for her? Source: WireImage 1 / 10 Stevie Wonder What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of the most famous songs ever written by a father to a daughter, Stevie Wonder wrote "Isn't She Lovely?" in 1976 in honor of his daughter Aisha. Much like Jay-Z's new song, Wonder's recording included his daughter's voice in the beginning and sounds of the father and tot playing in the end. The lyrics to the song include: Isn't she lovely Isn't she wonderful Isn't she precious Less than one minute old I never thought through love we'd be Making one as lovely as she But isn't she lovely made from love Source: WireImage 2 / 10 Chris Martin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Following the birth of Apple in 2004, Chris Martin got together with his Coldplay bandmates to create a fun music video about babies, fatherhood, and new mommy Gwyneth Paltrow. Introducing the fictitious band "The Nappies," Martin sang lyrics that included: Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you frown, With your hormones bouncing up and down Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, But it's a weird nine months that you have had, There's [bleep] going down that you can't disguise, When your boobs gone up ten times the size, The cups gone up from an A to D. It's bad for you but it's fun for me... I'll be there with you, baby, through the thin and the thick, I'm gonna clean up all the poo and the sick, I'll be there to make you happy, And keep everything clean, I'll change the nappy through the washing machine I ain't no baddy... I am your baby's daddy. Source: WireImage 3 / 10 Joel Madden What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Following the birth of lil Harlow Winter Kate Madden, daddy Joel penned a lullaby that he intended to keep inside the family. When his brother and bandmate Benji heard "Harlow's Song," he insisted that it be included on their next album. Joel later said, "I've never written a song like that. It was pretty interesting. It's like a straight love song for somebody. It's a lullaby, and it ended up being on the record. I've never really had the ability to write songs like that. So I guess my life has changed a lot." The lyrics for the song include: I can't dream without you.... When you close your eyes and go to sleep tonight, I'll be right outside your door, dreams will come and they'll take you away, let them bring you back to me And tomorrow when you wake I'll be next to you, the protection from the day, when the tears fall down your face like morning dew, I'll be there to put a smile on your face, and I'll say . . .

When the tot claimed that she wanted straight blond hair like the dolls, he penned the song and skit called "I Love My Hair." In the song, he says, "Your hair is great. You can put it in ponytails. You can put it in cornrows. I wish I had hair like you." Source: WireImage 6 / 10 Lenny Kravitz What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When lil Zoe was born in 1988, rocker Lenny Kravitz sat down and wrote "Zoe's Lullaby," which eventually became "Flowers For Zoe." The song became a hit when it was rereleased in 1991. Among the lyrics are: Flowers for Zoe Love for Zoe Angels and rainbows All kinds of things you can call your own Garden for Zoe And oceans for Zoe Jungle gym playgrounds All kinds of things for you to explore Source: WireImage 6 / 10 Ben Folds What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ben Folds had written "Still Fighting For It" when his son Louie was born, so it was no surprise that he penned a song for lil Gracie when she arrived. When speaking about the song, he said, "Everyone has similar experiences, so I don't really write to the universal. 'Gracie' is a good example of that. It's just for Gracie. The first line is, 'I saw you when you came out.' That's a pretty graphic line for a kid, but I knew she'd think that is funny." "Gracie's" lyrics include: You can't fool me, I saw you when you came out You got your momma's taste but you got my mouth And you will always have a part of me Nobody else is ever going to see Gracie girl Source: WireImage 7 / 10 The Edge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Leave it to one of the most influential bands of the century to write a song about one of the bandmate's daughters and have it become an international sensation. Following the birth of his daughter, The Edge wrote "Original of the Species" and the band made it a hit. The Edge explained, "The last time I cried was listening to that song. It was a song Bono started on the last record about my daughter Holly. He's her godfather. The lyric became more universal. About being young and full of doubt about yourself. He probably won't agree, but I think it has connotations for Bono, looking back to when he was 20." The song begins: Baby slow down The end is not as fun as the start Please stay a child somewhere in your heart I'll give you everything you want Except the thing that you want You are the first one of your kind Source: WireImage 8 / 10 Usher What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Growing up without a father in his life, Usher was determined to be a different type of dad for his son.

ARM says its Mali-T604 packs a multicore (up to four cores), tri-pipe architecture that employs various patented technologies and reduced memory bandwidth consumption by up to 30%. Better visuals aside, the new chip consumes less power and has a smaller footprint than its predecessors. It also supports 4X FSAA with minimal performance drop, as well as OpenCL and DirectX.
The Mali-T604 will land in numerous consumer electronic devices, ranging from smartphones to high-end digital entertainment systems. It's currently available to license by partners, and Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use the new GPU -- though the company's plans are unclear. Some believe the Mali-T604 could appear in Samsung's upcoming Orion SoC, a successor to Hummingbird.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
You have to give props to these guys for going against the big boys. As always, competition = good things for the consumer.
This is something new for me. And how well does this fare against other similar products?
I also haven't heard much about ARM's GPU units. If it really provides 5x more performance then before thats a pretty amazing leap.
way to go ARM next up there new ARM 10000 gpu that's 10% faster than the gtx 580 lol jk but i do like that they are pushing forward in these hard times.
i know that some small handheld devices use ARM units like in the Nintendo DS. They mention low power consumption as one of the selling points does anyone know how much power they use?
I have never heard of this technology but it looks like it will bring GPU's performance higher on the scale.
Multicore gpu's. Nice work
cooperation always beats competition. it would be better if everyone teamd up on a unified goal
ARM hasn't made as large of an impact on discrete graphics as Nvidia or AMD and not even really graced the notebook/netbook market with their products. However, for handhelds and other mobile devices they have been very competitive. It's an area of the market that Nvidia is still trying to really take their share of. ARM definitely has some appealing products to offer in the mobile graphics segment. I'm looking forward to the handhelds and other mobile devices that implement this new GPU to see how well it actually performs.
All the major mobile 3D vendors are bringing significantly improved 3D cores to mobile. We might start to see more serious 3D games on phones and tablets. Though frankly I cringe every time I read "patented technologies". It's so easy to step on a patent these days without even knowing.
pheonixnexus, the ARM in the Nintendo products in the CPU, not the GPU. I don't know which products use ARM's GPU core.
But Can it play Crysis ???
Theres alwaysa Crysis Joke! i got bored of it, but then people kept doing it and now its got funny again! like an overused joke to the extreme.
but no, it can't play crysis, maybe a few of these in SLI though? that might be able to in a very low res.
Anyway I hope to see one of these in the next iPhone or something. NOVA on iPhone looks incredible as it is.
Anyone know who does the GPU for iPhone?
Best Regards,
Of course they havent had a large impact on discrete graphics... their products are focused to OTHER type of gadgets.
Nice, best image quality for mobile devices, hope to see this in sony ericson phones..
...offering up to five times more performance than previous Mali products...Read the whole story
That's kind of vague, do they mean up to 5x more than Mali-200 or 400, cause that's a big difference. Even if it was the 200, it might mean that the next iteration(s) of PowerVR's GPU's, will continue to be eaten alive.
The addition of discrete graphics to mobile devices is a welcome development. Hopefully, they can overcome all the different hardware and software hurdles so that one day, we can all play a hi-res version of Call of Duty or Battlefield : Bad Company 2 on our cell phones. Wouldn't that be something .
So I'm guessing this (combined with an ARM CPU) will be marketed as direct competition to the nVidia Tegra 2? Seems like the closest fit for the markets they are aiming at. Trying to imagine benchmarks and comparisons, but wondering just what you'd compare it to
Tegra 2 doesn't have much to boost in the mobile arena yet .... nVidia is still trying to find a foothold. Now to this thing, if it really can perform 5x better in graphics the days of the likes of hummingbird are numbered. No wonder samsung is one of the first to launch some products with this baby, there is a reason they are getting more stronger in the mobile arena, generally they have lot better offerings than the competition in several market segments. If Android continued be improved as fast as it has been (and further if MS can tangibly improve and convince users about quality experience of its OS), I think mobile market may yet shake up again; but this time around along with Nokia, Apple will be in the firing line, because it seems that iPhone is no longer in 'to be had' category anymore. Infact, new iPhone has fallen down the price ladder so badly here that it has burned a few suppliers who had it stocked.
I am glad to see that the market consists of more than just nVidia and ATi. I hope that ARM will also eventually get their name in those high GPU sales stats. I hope that they will make products that will rival the market share of nVidia and ATi so that there is more choice for us, the end consumer as well as lower prices. I hope that Gfx cards will become wy more affordable.
