"There are so many Divas who have come and gone who have left their mark in WWE: Ivory, Jazz, Lita, etc. … Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man," so if I had to choose one, it'd be the Diva who most people would consider the greatest Diva of all time, Trish Stratus. The only reason I'd choose her is because I know in my heart that I can put her down."
Since being released by TNA, Wes Brisco has worked a couple of shows on the independent wrestling circuit, and it appears that he is hoping to expand his horizon by working overseas. He already has a connection to New Japan through Luke Gallows, his former Aces and Eights teammate.
In a move that has been speculated for quite some time now, it appears that TNA has indeed released second generate star and former Aces and Eights member Wes Brisco. His profile has been removed from the official roster page on the company website.

Intel tears up CPU branding scheme
Intel is to ditch its Core 2 and Core 4 brands, along with their Solo, Duo and Quad sub-brands in favour of, simply, Core. Well, sort of. Intel's plans aren't quite that clear cut. Rather than nuke and pave, Intel is rolling out the new brand pland as it rolls out new products, while clearing out the old brands through natural …
A problem...
I see a problem with the star rating idea. With CPU technology moving on so fast, will the star ratings not be out of date a few months after they have been stuck next to a CPU. There is going to be a lot of confusion around when there are still 5 star rated CPU's in stock at a shop over half a year old along side more expensive new machines also with 5 star rated CPU's.
Crazy idea.
Expiry date of stars
Though the "simplicity" of the stars is nice, it is useless given how quickly processors advance. A 5 star processor of today won't match up to a 3 star processor in a year or so.
Why not, heaven forbid, just have a number that increases with every iteration? It worked well enough going from 186 through 686*, pentium I through to pentium IV. Etc This could split into a distinct ranges to cater for the different target market:
Netchip 100; Lapchip 100; Homechip 100; Businesschip 100; Gamerchip 100; AVeditorchip 100; Serverchip 100
Have the 100 increase, in combination with a GHz value, and jobs a good 'un.
*I know, this is probably wrong, I don't really care, it was just an illustration point
Star rating systems - my two cents
I saw a load of posters for the star rating schemes at work the other day. I think it's a silly idea. Have we not been conditioned to think that if a product has 1 star out of 5 it's bad? I understand what Intel is going for, but I only get it because of my existing knowledge about the chips. Someone with no prior knowledge is going to look at the 1/2 star processors and refuse to buy them, even if they're more than is necessary for their particular use.
Changing number of stars over time then?
So an i7 will have 5 stars now, but will the number of stars in the i7 product logo change over time? Maybe they could produce packaging with inks that biodegrade at different rates, or embed an LCD screen into each box...
Paris because she won't do less than 5 stars.
"Intel will still offer Pentium - which stands for the values "dependable and proven" - and Celeron processors - "value and reliability""
Yeah. Everybody knows that Celeron means "cheap piece of sh*t that doesn't fly". I still feel sorry for some of my friends who bough that utter cr*p, even after being warned.
Intel branding? Confusing?
I still don't quite get it. They try to tell us it will be simpler each time they launch a new brand, but then forget that the new branding still adds to the confusion.
Anybody remember VIIV marketing disaster?
Star rating?
As long as I get to view the core stepping as well, this system will certainly help Jo Sixpack pick his next upgrade.
Wait a minute... Why would Jo Sixpack want a CPU upgrade? WHY DO WE NEED THIS?! RUBBISH!
I'm so confused right now...
I think I see a flaw....
Surely the star system will be a problem as new products are released. How do you show that a new CPU is better than an an existing CPU that's already got 5 stars? Will they go through their entire lineup and re-jig the star ratings each time they change their lineup? It would seem more logical to me to give each CPU a performance rating number which could be used to compare CPUs within the same generation, and new vs old CPUs. I'm just not sure Intel have quite thought that one through...
What About...???
What about when they bring out stuff thats better than Core i7? Does that get 6 stars?
Hmm ratings
Will have to buy the eventual 11 star one - because these like go to 11.
FAIL written all over it
Do they honestly believe this will make things less confusing?
0 starts from me!
How about ...
Distributors specify the manufacturer's part numbers of the chipset, CPU and the performance of the attached heat sink. Computer literate customers can check Intel/AMD/Via's web site for the chips' features, clock speeds, power dissipation and operating temperature. They can also check their favourate review site for benchmark comparisons.
No-one else will have a clue what they are buying and can be confident that the sales assistant is not conning them because he is equally clueless and is just following the deceptive script provided by his employer.
Are Intel's marketing team as clueless as a PCworld employee, or are they just trying to do what they can based on the ignorance and attention span of the average PCworld customer?
Star rating = as stupid as energy-efficiency rating.
This star system is just dead wrong; giving the stars a half-life would be trying to salvage a very stupid plan. Reminds me of fridges and washing machine ratings.
At least the fridge manufacturers thought "almost all stuff fits in the D--C band, there's space for improvements to B and A bands" when coming up with their stupid scheme. If they'd started from Z=worst, V=best-at-the-time then there'd be no problem --- now it's A+ and A++ and other nondefined cathegories.
Like our condenser-boiler, with an official efficiency rating of 114%. How can you type that in as a certifier, and not go for seppuku?
Or will sixth and seventh stars appear soon in Intel's scheme?
Why not rate your processors with 2 or 3 numbers, like energy consumption ["seconds to run on 1Watt-hour"] and performance [Log(maximal FLOPS*10 ^-6 )" or so... teach the kiddies logs]?
And they pay people....
And they pay people to think this stuff up. Simple numbering would make life simpler, and independent benchmark testing would establish degrees of goodness. Must be too much to ask.
Star System is pure genius
I really like the new 5 star system that Intel have introduced, 5 stars betta dan 1 star innit.
AMD started all this nonsense
Is much simpler to read the basic specs that make a difference than to sort out how a chip will perform based on these naming schemes
what's so hard about BrandName and some standardized "ModelName 2x2.66-8s-1033-HT" and some education to purchacers about what those numbers might mean ?
AMD started this obscurety of specs with their AMD ##00+ naming speed to obscure clock speeds .. instead it would have served the consumer better to add a few more characters to model description reflecting other CPU features that can greatly reflect performance ..
stars are a bad idea .. who the heck is going to buy a one star item, or be able to sell it, even if it's the best choice for the application ?! ..
1 or 2 stars = BAD
3 stars = average at best .. really want to be looked at this way ?
Stupid people are still stupid
Dear Intel;
Stop trying to market to stupid people. Stupid don't understand any of this BS and just ask the sales person for "a fast one that's cheap". Anyone smarter than that will just ignore crap like this and figure it out like they've always done.
I just can't see this going anywhere good. As many have pointed out, the stars are a crap idea. And you're still going to have to hunt for benchmarks around the Internet to see if a low-numbered i5 part is faster than a high-numbered i3 part.
What I can't help but ask is: do we even need this many Intel CPUs? They all overlap at least 3 or 4 other chips in terms of price and performance, you'd have to think that Intel could do a lot better with a reduced lineup, since it'd have ot save them a ton on inventory and shipping and things to deal with 30-40 parts.
Then again AMD is no better. They just make you look at their core code names instead of Intel's system of friendly nonsense titles.
I guess this is just more proof that the marketing dept still runs Intel. And look how well they did with that Netburst thing a couple years back...
Whither Pentium
Whatever idiot that it was a good idea to dump the Pentium brand should have been drug out into the streets naked, lathered with honey and set loose in a forest filled with hungry, wild bears. Since the Pentium got the axe, I struggle to keep Intel's branding straight. So much so that I accidentally bought a Dual Core once instead of a Core Duo. Thanks marketing people, for making things unnecessarily confusing. Just find a branding and stick to it.
And the stars? Stupid idea. What are you going to do when the 5 star CPU is bettered by a new one? Are you going to make it a 6 star CPU, or are you going to then rerate the old 5-star CPU to 4-star? If you do that, you're going to confuse people who go into a shop that stocks the old 4-star CPU and the new 4-star CPU.
Real genius. mocking Intel jingle: Dumb, dumb, dumb, duuuuuumbbbbb!!!
New products are fine
All these comments about what will happened when faster chips come out are missing the point.
All Core i7s will get 5 stars. So when a faster Core i7 comes out the rating system continues to work.
When Core i8, say, comes out, the Core i7 line will be retired and only computers with an i8 will have 5 stars, the i7 machines will no longer be on sale.
For people going into best buy, this is fine, its not aimed at nerds like us that read about clock speeds and cache sizes.
Xeon, Itanium etc...
So how are these product lines going to be represented in the i(N) series being proposed, I wonder?
Mine's the one with the quad-core pockets...
Phasing in, phasing out ...
... could be catered for easily?
These guys are the ones that trademarked the number 2010 in roman numerals (MMX).
All the nice people who put things like "Copyright MMX" next year might have to say: "MMX is a trademark of the intel corporation.
Marketing Genius!
If somebody buys a 3 star instead of a 1 star because they've been taught that 1 star is rubbish Intel Win
Re: Celeron
I'd like to add to that.
It doesn't seem all that long ago that "Pentium" meant "rarer than rocking horse shit and can't add up".
Oh look,
Another full moon.

Cyrus -- Downhill or as Good as Ever?
Hi all. I have a reservation for Cyrus later this month and just noticed that recent reviews on Yelp have been pretty negative. I don't know how much stock to put into those reviews, but I certainly trust this board and would greatly appreciate any local / current insights here. Many thanks in advance.
We went in October and had a great meal, as always (we've been a half dozen times). My only caveat would be that we opted for the supplemental truffles, which I didn't find as satisfying as other occasions (and paled in comparison to the ones we had at Oliveto's truffle dinner), but otherwise I still think Cyrus is the best fine dining experience in the Bay Area.
Oliveto Cafe
5655 College Ave., Oakland, CA 94618
re: The Dive
If your referring to winter truffles oct is early for both white and black. If summer , I dont ever get as I find them inferior wherever I get them.
re: celeryroot
Great to hear. Thanks The Dive and Celeryroot. Appreciate the feedback.
re: ethan111
Let us know how it was. I am one of the skeptics of Cyrus after my dinner there last year. but I am in the minority.
re: DebitNM
Other half and I had dinner at the French Laundry on Friday and at Cyrus on Saturday. This was our first visit to both restaurant. Comparing the two, I have to say that the food in the tasting menu at Cyrus was at same level as the FL for half the price (service was definetely better at FL). Both tasting menus featured a foie gras dish, and I enjoyed the dish at Cyrus more than at the FL.
re: DebitNM
Only been there once, late spring last year and it was outstanding. Definitely a great place for a special meal, I recommend it without hesitation.
Downhill. The service was horrible. Went in October for my b-day. When we got there, no one greeted us so we kept on walking in towards the dining room, before we got there, someone yelled out "EXCUSE ME", almost like we did something wrong. Ironically, he was the only one that wished me a happy b-day that night. I never got the "special b-day treat" that everyone has mentioned in reviews I've read. Besides that, service was sloppy, they spilled water all over our table a couple times when they refilled our water and the guy that changed our flatware after each course almost just "tossed" flatware in front of us. To be fair, the food was good. We both had the tasting menu and was happy with all the savory courses. However, the desserts were a let down.
re: ieatstuff
Are you sure you were at Cyrus? It iis not a large place and you would have been noticed. Your so called sloppy service would have been noticed. Pls describe what you had.
My husband and I went at the beginning of December and had everything from champagne to coffee. We had both 8 course menus with truffles and their wine pairings.
It was a lot of fun in the beginning because it's such an experience!
However, about the beginning of the fourth hour when the bread basket was still the our favorite thing served, it wasn't so fun anymore.
Maybe we would have been more impressed if "fine dining experience" was as important to us as memorable food.
I do know that next time I would take my money and have eight times the dinners at Scopa on the square and enjoy it 8X more!
109 Plaza St, Healdsburg, CA 95448
Of the fine dining I had this year, I would say that the best overall food in terms of creativity was Meadowood. the best technically prepared food was French Laundry. The best combination of the two was Cyrus. The service at Cyrus was top notch when I was there - better than French Laundry and heads and tails above Meadowood. However, I am most interested in heading back to Meadowood because I crave that creativity.
Anyway, to answer the original post - go, it is wonderful.
The French Laundry
6640 Washington Street, Yountville, CA 94599
re: jsaimd
We went last night and I am so glad we did. The food was more creative than we expected, and the service was, as most have reported, top notch. Let's put it this way, I left the restaurant wondering if 20% was enough! Some of the highlights included foie gras with persimmon and pomegranate; milk poached chicken with cauliflower and brussels sprouts, uni froth. In each case, the pomegranate and the uni forth were dish-changers! Jewels like this were found in each and every dish. Our 8 course experience took over 4 hours, but felt like a blur. We left completely satiated and intoxicated by the experience.
re: ethan111
Glad you had a great time. The best dining leaves you happy about the possiblity of food!
Thought I would update with our recent dinner at Cyrus:
Pictures here: http://insert-food.blogspot.com/2011/...
Canapés - Five tastes
Starting at the top, the canapés presented were blood orange tart (sour), steamed manila clam with chorizo powder (salty), spherified prickly pear juice with vanilla salt (sweet), radish with leek ash and almond (bitter), and shiitake-yuzu broth (umami). A cute way to calibrate the senses before beginning the meal - I thought the sweet and umami bites were especially representative of their intended flavours.
Next, the bread basket made its way around. Cyrus bakes 4-5 breads in house for each service (not pictured), and they were decent, but I didn't find any of them particularly compelling except the brioche. At this point, we also settled on drink choices. One of the reasons Cyrus has been on our to-visit list is their strong cocktail program, originally developed by Scott Beattie. We ordered a number of cocktails throughout the night and enjoyed them all - very seasonal, with emphasis on using local spirits and products (where allowed - I'm glad to see that taste is not sacrificed for the sake of locavorism).
Amuse - Ike jime tai, pickled sea bean, cherry blossom
I've yet to directly compare two fish side-by-side to assess whether ike jime really improves quality (mainly because it would be logistically difficult to perform a truly controlled experiment). Regardless, the snapper was nice and firm, with a delicate flavour. Some pickled sea bean complemented the fish's subtle sweetness well, and I loved how the cherry blossom gelée imparted an ephemerally sweet floral touch.
Chilled cucumber-galangal water
Avocado, hearts of palm, Fresno chili
Really, really good. Presumably inspired by the chef's recent trip to Thailand, the soup had a nice citrusy note from the galangal. Lightly pickled hearts of palm and pickled chilis brought in the necessary acidity, while keeping the soup light and fresh. My only issue was with the rather large avocado sphere - it felt out of balance with the other ingredients.
Asparagus, ponzu, ito gaki
The single white asparagus spear sat atop a ponzu glaze, with green asparagus ties and soft shaved katsuo atop it. Delicious because of the quality of the ingredients, especially the ito gaki.
Chilled oxtail-umeshu consomme
Kindai tuna, myoga, battera kombu
A standout dish. Umeshu (梅酒) is plum liqueur - I didn't catch whether the one used here was purchased or made in-house, but the result was fantastic. The umami-rich oxtail stock blended perfectly with the sweet and sour notes from the umeshu to create a remarkably nuanced broth. The consomme accentuated the meatiness of the tuna, which was further highlighted by some slivers of myoga and a dab of freshly grated wasabi. I was surprised to find Cyrus using Kindai tuna, but I suppose everyone wants to emphasize sustainability these days - in any case, the fish was perfectly seared.
Artichokes 'a la barigoule'
Corona beans, arugula, green garlic
Foie gras torchon, brioche bread pudding)
Quail egg, rye, foie gras-black truffle jus
The torchon was very well prepared, and I really enjoyed it with the heavy amount of caraway in the rye cracker. The quail egg, although visually appealing and delicious on its own, felt out of place with the other components (what is with this compulsion to put eggs on everything - is it starting to pervade fine dining establishments as well?
Bay scallops, poke, turnip, passionfruit
Tasmanian ocean trout
Hickory-smoked soba, mitsuba, oolong broth
Probably my favourite protein dish of the night. The luscious fish was cooked sous-vide and wrapped in the soba, which added a perfect amount of smokiness. Some buckwheat kernels, nori strips and mitsuba kept each bite interesting by adding texture and different accompanying flavours to the mouthful of protein (it was quite a big piece of fish). A very perceptible amount of star anise in the mildly sweet oolong broth also contributed to enlivening the ocean trout.
Miso-poached chicken
Maitake, spring onion, radish
What I liked about this dish was that in some ways, the maitake was actually meatier than the chicken (even with the miso glaze, which was quite light-tasting) - a nice play in contrasts. The spring onion confit was salty and creamy, whereas the verdant puree of green onion tops was nicely pungent.
Before the final savory course, we were served a small guava sorbet "popsicle" (not pictured) as a palate cleanser. Very refreshing - it did it's job at resetting our tastebuds after the strong flavours from the trout and chicken dishes.
Wagyu strip loin, bone marrow flan
Lotus, shiitake, pear, ginger
The beef was excellent, if a bit overcomplicated. The real star of the show was the bone marrow custard - after mixing with the ginger that sat atop it, it yielded a few perfect bites of creamy, luscious goodness. The ginger was the ideal foil for the rich marrow, and the texture of the egg was like a cross between a soft scramble and chawan mushi.
Next, a cheese cart was rolled over to our table, from which we chose six varieties. I neglected to take a picture, but it was uniformly excellent - a cut above our most recent cheese cart at Providence. Everything was aged correctly and served at the right temperature. Our favourite was a (if memory serves me correctly) Portuguese Azeitão - soft, unctuous and nutty. The accompaniments matched up to the cheeses well (in particular, an earthy pear-tarragon butter).
"Milk and cookies"
Soft-baked chocolate chip cookies, Valrhona syrup and homemade seltzer
Vanilla bean fontainebleau
Strawberry, lime, yogurt
The airy fontainebleau sat in a light strawberry-papaya soup, which complemented the vanilla very nicely. I also liked how the acidity of the lime granita kept the dessert's sugar levels from becoming overwhelming. Lastly, a yogurt streusel further mitigated the sweetness of the fontainebleau while providing interesting textures.
Butterscotch sundae
Vanilla, rum, chocolate soil, popcorn tuile
Peanut butter gianduja bar
Honeycomb yogurt parfait
I was a bit let down by these desserts - I suppose I expected something more from the winner of last year's James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef award. They weren't poor by any stretch (in fact, everything was technically perfect), but they felt a little dated and didn't connect with me on any level. Overall, just rather mundane.
At the end of the official menu, a large mignardises cart appeared. We were as stuffed as Thanksgiving turkeys, but somehow managed to make room for two choices that turned out to be superb - (1) a decadent jarred chocolate panna cotta, and (2) some amazing sudachi macarons. Nicole Plue really redeemed herself with these macarons - they were the best I've had outside Paris. Our server packaged more macarons and a selection of other sweets for us to take home. Finally, the check was delivered... together with a serving of fresh house-made doughnuts, still dripping with molten glaze. They were light and airy, and only mildly sweet - a delightful, if messy, end to the evening.
Gift - Chocolate brownie
The staff assembled a to-go bag that was chock full of gifts - looking into the bag the next morning, it felt like we had visited a candy shop. With too many treats to name, I'll highlight the delectable chocolate brownies (above). They were perfect - moist, rich chocolate flavour with a great crumb. There were also some great strawberry-champagne lollipops that we enjoyed for days after.
Since this was our first visit (in fact, this was our first time tasting Douglas Keane's food), I'm not in a position to comment on how Cyrus has evolved over the years. Based on this visit, I was more than pleased - while I didn't encounter anything that changed my perceptions (as the very best meals do), the restaurant operates at a very high level. Our dinner actually felt like a little time warp - haute dining before molecular gastronomy, or uber-regional cuisine, or cooking with primitive techniques, etc. For that, it was refreshing in its classicism.

November 27, 2014
WHITTIER, Calif. (AP) - Police say they've visited the homes of octuplet mom Nadya Suleman on multiple occasions in the last 14 months to respond to complaints about lost, trapped or poorly cared for children.
Suleman gave birth to octuplets Jan. 26, and also has six other children, ages 2 to 7
Whittier Officer Jason Zulke says in July 2008 police and the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services visited Suleman's home in response to a complaint that the children appeared poorly cared for.
Zuhlke says both agencies determined the complaint was unfounded.
Police also once visited the home to let a child out of a locked bedroom, and on another occasion Suleman called to report her 5-year-old daughter missing. The child had wandered off after her grandmother and was found safe.

Clean rooms, very nice people kind of like here in Montana. Two options for food in the building. Once parked there is a ton of stuff within walking distance.

It says UL® listed, so it must be okay, right? Don't be fooled. The $5.99 surge suppressor you picked up for your home PC may be nothing more than a... more/see it nowmultiple outlet extension cord.
UL® listed means that a product has been submitted to Underwriter's Laboratories® for safety testing in certain categories. The strip protector you just bought is probably listed in the extension cord category. It won't stop harmful surges from destroying equipment data.
The UL® listing for surge suppressors is UL® 1449. APC® SurgeArrest® products received the best UL® 1449 rating. Some vendors rate surge protection on the basis of joule energy. But let-through should be compared.
Basically, let-through is a measure of how much of a spike or surge each protector will let though to your electronic equipment. The lower the let-through rating, the better the suppression. And the SurgeArrest is guaranteed forever—even if it takes a catastrophic hit. It may be the last surge protector you buy. collapse
Simply put, remote power control is the ability to reset or reboot PC, LAN, telecom, and other computer equipment without being at the equipments location. Who needs remote power control?... more/see it nowAny organization with a network that reaches remote sites. This can include branch offices, unmanned information kiosks, remote monitoring stations, alarm and control systems, and even HVAC systems.When equipment locks up at remote sites, it is usually up to the system manager at headquarters to reset it. Often, there arent any technically trained personnel at the remote site who can perform maintenance and resets on equipment. So, in order to save traveling time and minimize downtime, remote power control enables the system manager to take care of things at the office without ever leaving home! Remote power control can be done with modems or existing or special phone lines. The ideal system uses out-of-band management, an alternate path over an ordinary dialup line that doesnt interfere with network equipment.An effective remote power control system incorporates the following: • An existing phone line, such as a line being used for a fax, modem, or phone.• Transparent operation. The system shouldnt interfere with or be affected by normal calls.• Security features. The system should prevent unauthorized access to network equipment.• Flexibility. System managers should be able to dial in from anywhere and control mulitple devices with one call. • Have power control devices that meet UL® and FCC requirements. collapse

2014's Gayest Cities in America
BY Matthew Breen
January 06 2014 4:00 AM ET
It's not all piano bars, gender-specific music festivals, and giant disco houses (although we all love some of those things) that make these cities the gayest in America. You say you're shocked Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City aren't at the top of the list, this year and every year? What kind of fun would that be? (Spoiler alert: San Francisco comes in at No. 11.) This year's criteria, designed to uncover the hidden factors that give a city its queer cred, include points for a city's LGBT elected officials (and fractional points for the state's elected officials), points for the percentage of the population comprised by lesbian-coupled households, a point for a gay rodeo association, points for bars listed in Out magazine's 200 Best Bars list, a point per women's college, and points for concert performances by Mariah Carey, Pink, Lady Gaga, or the Jonas Brothers. The raw score is divided by the population to provide a ranking based on a per capita LGBT quotient. (More details on scoring.)
Think your city should be on the list? We challenge you to make it so. Wouldn't every city be better if it were just a bit gayer? Illustrations By Jason Luz and Justin Miller

So, the star manager of your mutual fund leaves. Should you bail, too? It's a question on many investors' minds now after famed bond manager Bill Gross announced Friday he was leaving the company he founded, Pacific Investment Management Co., to start another fund at rival Janus. The Wall Street Journal reported today that investors so far have pulled $10 billion out of Pimco — and $90 billion more may follow. "You have to be careful not to have a knee-jerk …

If you're not contributing enough or haven't rebalanced your portfolio since George W. Bush was in office, you have the remainder of the year to make some adjustments. You probably already know that you can sock away as much as $23,000, which includes $5,500 in catch-up contributions for people 50-plus, in your 401(k) plan. However, if you're using …

Target-date funds are growing in popularity among investors in workplace retirement plans because they're so easy to manage. You pick a retirement date, and the mix of investments automatically adjusts to a more conservative allocation as you move closer to that date. No muss, no fuss. If you're not investing in a TDF, chances are you will be. A new study says that by 2018, nearly two-thirds of all 401(k) savings contributions will go into these funds. TDFs have become …

Even in this rock-bottom interest-rate climate, three of four Americans over the age of 65 rely on investments to help maintain their fixed income. So the appeal by hucksters who promise higher-than-average returns (think Bernie Madoff) may even be more enticing. Financial fraudsters know this. They also know that older adults have a lifetime of earnings to pluck from. That's why they're more likely to target adults 65 and older than younger people, using direct mail solicitations and the old-fashioned …

Abstract Submission date: CLOSED
Full paper submission date: 6th October 2014
This conference provides a platform on which to address the new economic order and its spatial manifestations. The world has seen a series of shifts in socio-economic relations over the past decade, which has picked up pace since the global financial crisis of 2008, particularly in relation to the complex inter-related processes of industrialisation, urbanisation, and regional and local development. Is the mediation between economic logic and political institutions leading to new patterns of economic activity at a local, regional, national and global level?
Is it possible to talk again—as the leading economic geographers and regional development theorists did in the late 1980s and early 1990s—about the periods (Fordism, Post-Fordism, After-Fordism), places (Silicon Valley, Route 128, Baden-Württemberg, the Rhone-Alpes etc) and pathways (flexible specialisation, flexible accumulation, agglomeration economies) of economic development? Replaying this argument—scholars at that time argued that the coupling between spatial Keynesianism and Atlantic Fordism was being undone and replaced by neoliberal social regulation. They saw that this resulted in the disintegration of economic activity into new industrial/political spaces. In turn, these processes were buttressed by changing modes of state intervention—welfare state restructuring, the shift from redistributive regional policy and planning to indigenous economic development, and the promotion of flexible labour market policy and the rebalancing of social relations. Where are we now on these trajectories? What have their impacts been on regional and local economies?
The 21st Century has been an era of devolution, predicated on 'realising' place-based assets and assembling these as the building-blocks of agglomeration for a new brand of local and regional economic development. On the one hand, political devolution has happened through constitutional change (see Spain and current events in Scotland), and on the other hand, economic devolution has occurred through the explosion of state rescaling. City-regions are the outlet for some of this thinking. In the context of urban and regional austerity, post-crisis, politicians and policy-makers argue this is a more 'balanced' approach to growth than past interventions. Crisis in the Eurozone though is having highly differentiated impacts, with some places benefiting, while others have seen a worsening of problems. These outcomes appear complex, and relatively unpredictable, challenging prevailing narratives of places and their future. This begs the question as to whether recovery is sustainable and/or is spatially selective growth occurring at a cost?
This Regional Studies Association Winter Conference 2014 presents a timely opportunity to discuss these issues, to establish the need and nature of future research imperatives, and to address the concerns and challenges confronting policymakers and practitioners. The conference organisers are keen to attract papers and sessions which address a broad research and policy agenda, including contributions from any discipline which can offer relevant insights associated with the remaking of the world space economy and its shaping of our cities and regions. Papers which are collaborative, international or multi-disciplinary are especially welcome:
- Modelling and theorising the space economy: urban renewal and regional growth;
- New approaches to agglomeration and the clustering of economic life;
- The impacts of devolution and constitutional change on economic policy, and vice versa;
- Cities, Regions, or City-Regions: searching for scalar and institutional fixes;
- Post-suburbia and governance of metropolitan areas;
- New industrial spaces of the 21st Century and the future of old industrial regions;
- EU and OECD agendas for Smart, Inclusive, and Sustainable Economies;
- The future of work and work-welfare regimes: labour market policy, flexibility, resilience or flexploitations?;
- Creative city-regions and urban leadership;
- The politics and policies of urban and regional austerity;
- The lived experience of urban and rural change in times of austerity;
- Social enterprise, the third sector, and alternative economic geographies;
- Low Carbon Futures: Green deals and beyond;
- Methodological challenges for studying crisis, austerity, and the space economy.

In the context of austerity and the run up to the General Election in 2015, spatial economic policy is at a crossroads. An influential view has gained ground. Rather than targeting interventions on specific kinds of places, it asserts that any policy should instead be space-neutral and not favour particular places over others, focus upon poor people not poor places and work with the grain to reinforce the substance and direction of market processes, agglomeration economies and increasing returns. Yet this perspective has received relatively little critical scrutiny and discussion of its implications for any changes in approach in the course of the political cycle.
Working with the Regional Studies Association (RSA), Ben Gardiner, Ron Martin, Peter Tyler and Andy Pike have put together a policy intervention to engage with this current debate on spatial economic policy and identify some ways forward. The policy intervention will be launched at the RSA's Winter Conference, 27-28th November 2014.

POMONA, Calif. (AP) - All lanes are open again after an apparent suicide shut down portions of two San Gabriel Valley freeways.
The California Highway Patrol says a man jumped about 115 feet to his death early Sunday from an overpass on the 57 Freeway, landing on the westbound side of Interstate 10 in Pomona.
Witnesses tell the CHP they saw the man jump about 7 a.m. His 1996 Honda was found on the shoulder with the keys inside.
City News Service says the 32-year-old man died at the scene. His name was withheld pending notification of family.
The ensuing investigation by the CHP temporarily shut down the two right lanes of I-10, the Kellogg Drive offramp and transition roads from the 57 Freeway to the westbound 10.
The roads were cleared about three hours later.

Now that South Florida is perilously close to maximum density, places to pitch a tent are hard to come by. Developers who map out suburban hells like Weston simply don't pay much attention to camping. But we'll always have Markham Park. In this 666-acre county idyll, you'll find mountain bike trails, tennis courts, a personal-watercraft lake, boating, a swimming pool, an observatory, and 96 campsites. Most of the sites are of the drive-up variety; however, a handful of "primitive" spots are nestled in a patch of thick Australian pines. It ain't exactly the Alps, but it's pure South Florida. Markham is a popular place, especially on weekends, so call first to check availability.
