The keynote speech given by Dr. Jack Dongarra at HPC Asia 2009 examines the history of high performance computing (HPC) from its beginnings in the 1950s, through the present, and into the very near future. The talk also takes an in-depth look at the TOP500 supercomputing list which was begun by Dr. Dongarra and several of his colleagues in 1993.
This extremely educational and enlightening talk also takes a look at current trends in HPC such as "many-core" chips and GPUs as well as examines future obstacles in the ongoing development of HPC.

Part 3:TOP500: Processors, Interconnects, and Efficiency
If we take a look at what kinds of processors the machines on the TOP500 list are using, we can see that Intel is used in 71% of those machines, AMD is used in 13%, IBM has about 7%, and there's a few leftover. So Intel clearly dominates in terms of what's inside of these high performance machines. Next, let's take a look at the interconnects that are being used in these machines. The latest slice of data from November 2008 says that about 270 machines are using GigE as the interconnect. GigE is a rather inexpensive, rather pour interconnect to be using in a supercomputer, but it is used in so many of them because of its relatively low cost. What's happening here is that vendors are low-balling the price of their machines, putting together lots of processors, and then connecting them with a rather poor interconnect. Anyway, moving up, InfiniBand is used in about 140 machines and then we have Myricom and Quadrex which are used in just a few of them. The most striking thing here though is that GigE is used in so many of these systems today.
Now let's take a look at the efficiency of the 500 machines on the list. Think of the efficiency as the ratio of achieved to peak performance of your computer. To do this, all you need to do is figure out how many operations you can do per cycle and look how many processors and cores you have in your machine. That's your theoretical performance. And then look at the actual performance that you obtain running the benchmark and the ratio of that is your efficiency. We see that some of these machines are as high as 90% efficient running the benchmark. We see a big range as well--from 90% all the way down to 30%. We also see this line here between 50% and 60% efficiency. That's the line where the machines that use GigE are. GigE, a rather poor interconnect, that shows up quite clearly in terms of the performance that we see from these machines. This machine at 30% efficiency, I can guarantee you, they've made a mistake in putting together the benchmark. They've done something wrong. It should be much greater than 30% even with a poor interconnect. That's clear.
Today the majority of sockets on the Top500 list have four cores. There a few machines that have single core sockets. There's a grouping of machines, about 30%, which have dual core sockets, and then the remaining 2/3 have quad core sockets. Then there are seven systems which have a chip that uses nine cores--the IBM Cell.

"Beam Me Up, Scotty"
Outside the Box
photograph by Stocksnapper | Dreamstime.com
So said Star Trek's Captain Kirk when he wanted to make a quick trip between the starship Enterprise and a nearby planet. When you think about this logically, it sounds a little ridiculous, doesn't it? But maybe it's not … .
What if I could design a product in Memphis and have it appear on the desk of a user in Shanghai without the use of traditional transportation methods?
Recently, the concept of 3D printing has been getting an increasing amount of discussion in various trade journals. Frankly, when I first heard of it, I just assumed it was the ability to print a 3D picture which could be viewed without the goofy glasses. But it is much more than that. As many of our readers will already know, this technique, also called additive manufacturing, allows the use of computer-aided design (CAD) in developing renderings which can be transmitted to a 3D "printer" which will "print" or construct the solid object.
Currently, 3D printers are relatively slow and don't lend themselves to mass production. When manufacturing large quantities of polymer products for example, techniques such as injection molding can be faster and cheaper. But when only a few are needed, you can print them right at your desk or somewhere else halfway around the world. And, as research and experiments continue, this very well could change.
While this is a proven process, it is still a long way from everyday use. Right now, other than researchers and experimental users, most proponents seem to be hobbyists and enthusiasts who use the machines almost as toys to make clever little odds and ends. Usage has increased however, as the cost of printers has decreased dramatically. A printer that used to cost $20,000 can now be purchased for $1,000 to $2,000. Even so, it will no doubt be a while before this technology sees widespread acceptance.
3D printing is an example of what one writer has called "creative destruction." In many instances we have seen innovative new products become an acceptable or more desirable substitute for widely accepted current or legacy products. Have you tried to buy a typewriter lately? Or, consider Amazon.com. Look at what its Kindle and other manufacturers' tablet readers have done to revolutionize reading. Owning a bookstore today probably is not every entrepreneur's dream. The USPS probably would not be in the financial spiral it is in today were it not for computers and email. Who would have thought?
It is not at all unrealistic to think that someday in the not too distant future, 3D printing might be a significant part of our lives. And, if so, what impact will this "creative destruction" have on the supply chain? In the United States, we spend about $806 billion annually on transportation. What if some products no longer required "transportation" in the context we understand it today? Think about the impact on service and cost of goods from offshore if they did not spend weeks in transit over the high seas or incur high air freight costs.
What if there was no need to carry expensive inventories since products could be "printed" on demand? There are many products that will always have to undergo the conventional manufacturing process and require basic forms of transportation, but think about what the ability to print small quantities of small items could have on the parcel shipment business. If you let your imagination run loose just a little bit, however, you can envision any number of supply chain impacts. The technology is here. All we have to do is find a way to harness it efficiently.
In 1913, a U.S. District Attorney began prosecution of radio pioneer Lee DeForest for mail fraud. He said, "Lee DeForest has said in many newspapers and over his signature that it would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years. Based on these absurd and deliberately misleading statements, the misguided public has been persuaded to purchase stock in his company."
Maybe Star Trek wasn't as farfetched as we thought.

Botnet of Linux Servers with Dynamic IP Discovered
A Russian Web developer has found a network of a couple of hundred Linux servers that could distribute malware to Windows systems.
Linux being the server system of choice hasn't exactly escaped malware hackers. According to a current blog entry> from Russian developer Denis Sinegubko, a network of (meanwhile just under a hundred) infected Apache servers manage Windows systems through the dynamic DNS providers dyndns.org and no-ip.com and can thereby provide the malicious code.
The compromised Linux servers include dedicated or virtualized Apache webservers. The malware apparently landed on the target clients not because of an Apache vulnerability but due to weak or intercepted passwords or a security hole in the management software used. The attackers therefore installed next to Apache the small Nginx webserver that distributed the malware to the Windows clients. Site admins wouldn't normally notice the break-in because the Apache service wouldn't be affected.
The exact purpose of and, above all, the gateway used for the attacks are still not fully known. Shortly after Sinegubko's blog, the dyndns.com site took more than 100 systems off the net, and no-ip.com blocked about 100 domains after he contacted them. Unfortunately a cat-and-mouse game can ensue because dynamic hostnames can easily be registered.
Linux botnetIt's a Linux botnet just like an Adobe exploit on Windows is a Windows botnet.
maybe not apache
I think Apache is also running on windows, so linux to be use?
Linux-BotnetYes, it's a Linux-Botnet, as the nginx-Version installed on it is the Linux-Version. So it has nothing to do with apache.
LinuxIs this really a Linux botnet or an Apache botnet running on Linux? Meaning Linux is really not the issue but Apache which could be int he same position if installed on Unix or Windows?

text: Orange eyes, Black pupils. The dark grey feathers of a pigeon are Specked with purple, green and blue. Weathered three-toed feet And a matching grey beak But no one notices the pigeon Unless it is in their way, Under a picnic table Scheming to take their food. No one notices a pigeon. When it rains, On paved streets where Cars prowl, Puddles are formed. Mixed with oil, They create muddled rainbows. Puddles reflect glowing headlights And streetlights, Like a mirror to a brightly lit world, Where even the road glows. But no one notices the puddles Bringing light Into the dark night. No one notices the puddle or the rain, Unless the water frizzes their hair Or stains the ends of their pants. No one notices the puddles. When city limits end, And the natural world overtakes, Nature makes itself known, Where wild plants and wild animals roam. Nature means a world without paved streets, Ridden with potholes that toss the cars that brave them. Frantic honking and shouting, The stink of cigarettes on city streets, Or dark smoke puffing out of factories. A pigeon cooing. A tree that sways with the wind, Graceful like a dancer. Rolling hills and steep mountains. The scent of ripe mangoes, Freshly freed of their skin. But no one notices nature. Not unless it stands in the way of a new strip mall Or a yet-to-be-built parking lot. No one notices the green weeds Or the blades of grass Peeking defiantly through the cracks in the pavement. It is nature, Wanting to reclaim the land. Everyday, there is so much to see, But we miss a lot of those things. People pass by, looking But never truly seeing. No one notices the little things in life.

The food while a little over priced is very nice. the serving sizes are respectable and the wine generally is good value for money. You can find a good wine at most price points.
The service however, is absolutely horrible. Rude, slow, off hand and trying to avoid doing anything that looks like work. Its such a shame that there are so many wait staff they can get it so wrong. And the two times I have eaten here its been so hot that you would think putting the A/C on for 5 mins would not be a hardship.
Go someplace else, and I say that with such regret as the food is good. Eat here but remember I told you so on the service being grim!!

At first we enjoyed this restaurant. As New Yorkers and foodies we thought the atmosphere
was quaint and everyone was pleasant.
Our family really enjoyed the french onion soup and the entrees
that we wanted to stay for more and ordered desert.
Then the manager of the restaurant, a nasty man,
served us our ice cream. During this time my mother's
ice cream had melted and she asked for a new scoop.
Well the nasty manager was VERY RUDE to my sweet mother
with his sarcastic attitude. We were less than pleased
with his behavior when he made snarky remarks about the melted ice cream that we were
paying a fortune for. On our way out of the restaurant
he asked me if I enjoyed my desert and if it was melty.
Well that just put me over the edge and
I told him that he has some nerve making fun of my mother.
Instead of telling him what a dipiscable person he was to his face and that I was a
New York influencer as well as London I decided to share
my HORRIBLE experience at this restaurant and tweet about it too.
Even when I said that he should be nicer he made a snarky comment.
I have never posted a review about any restaurant in my life but this arrogant
manager made me so upset that I thought it was the best revenge.
If this post keeps one person from eating at this restaurant than writing it was well worth my time.

I booked a table for 6 over 2 months in advance still had to wait 40 mins standing in a cramped tiny bar area.The service after that was for very poor eg no info/discussion on the menue or specials.Waiter dropped a fork on to my shirt leaving a big stain no appology,one of our party asked for chips as his main course arrived and was told that the kitchen was closed??this was before we ordered our deserts??The food which we did get was fine but as we were finishing up the senior waiter removed wine from our table which was the still 3 quarters full.They then were very pushy in getting us to finish up even though they had delayed us at the beginning.Overall a very dissappointing night with service that was all the staff not at all friendly or customer orintated

Myself and my husband ate here on Thurs 11th June and loved it. The staff were all very nice and professional and spoke French (which was nice to hear). The food was excellent and well presented and the restaurant is very quaint and comfortable with a cool buzzy atmosphere. The waiters knew the ingredients and how the food was cooked, and were more than happy to alter items on the menu to meet your specific needs. Even though it was busy the service was very attentive. We will definately be back again.

Two air- passenger advocacy groups are demanding the U.S. government limit flights on Boeing's Dreamliner until the safety of its lithium-ion batteries is proven. FlyersRights.org and the Aviation Consumer Action Project are petitioning the FAA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) for a two hour limit from the nearest airport for the safety of passengers and crew.
"Our proposed actions are both urgent and necessary," said attorney Paul Hudson, leader of both organizations and a self-proclaimed aviation-safety advocate for 25 years. "The 787 lithium ion batteries have a long history of overheating, catching fire, even exploding. This could easily bring down an airliner, especially if it was not within easy reach of an airport for an emergency landing," Hudson said. "Such batteries have been labeled as hazardous by the FAA and banned from being carried as cargo on most passenger jets. In one year of operations of 52,000 hours there have been several 787 battery failures versus one for every 10 million hours of predicted by Boeing. Adequate testing of the batteries haven't been done and the fire investigation is not finished," he added.
With over 25,000 members nationwide, FlyersRights.org is the nation's largest non-profit airline passenger organization, which pushed for and won a federal rule limiting tarmac flight delays to 3 hours. The Aviation Consumer Action Project has advocated for air safety, security and consumer rights for over 40 years.
The advocacy groups' formal petition is backed up by testimony from a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, a prominent battery-safety consultant and former DOT Inspector General Mary Schiavo. Limiting the 787 to flights within two hours of the nearest airport would ban 787 trans-Pacific flights, flights over the North Pole. Flights between the U.S. and Europe over the north Atlantic and flights over land would not be affected by a two-hour limit.
Although U.S. investigators still don't know what caused the batteries to overheat, the FAA has approved a proposed Boeing fix that the manufacturer claims would stop any fires that started. United Airlines, the only U.S. carrier with 787s in its fleet, is scheduled to resume 787 flights on May 20. Some foreign airlines have already resumed Dreamliner flights, and others will begin flying them again soon.
On January 18 th, DOT Secretary Ray LaHood emphatically stated, "Those planes won't fly until we're 1,000% sure they are safe to fly."
"Four months is a very short time to be '1,000 percent' sure about anything -- much less a highly complex lithium-ion battery that's known to be prone to fire on board an aircraft carrying over 200 passengers and crew. It would be a shame for Secretary LaHood to culminate his many years of service with a reckless and hasty decision like this," says Hudson.

51 hours. That's how much time I had between my two careers. My last day at the bank was February 21st. I walked out of there at the end of my final shift and into a world of uncertainty: how long would I wait for my baby to be born? Days? Weeks?
51 hours.
Charles David Stauffer was born on February 23rd, 2014 at 7:38 p.m, only 2 hours after we arrived at the hospital. We didn't even have enough time to think about wether or not I wanted an epidural. They say it was an "easy" labor. For the record: it didn't feel very easy. But, worth it? SO worth it.
My son only cries when he is hungry, tired and wet all at the same time. He has spent the majority of his life on the "outside" either sleeping or softly "squeaking" when I'm not paying him enough attention. He is anxious to teach us a thing or two about parenting, though: like the importance of speed while changing diapers (either that, or you get baptized), and that every burp and poop is a momentous occasion and should be met with a pat on the back and a "good job, buddy!"
I could stare at him forever. Waking, sleeping, crying or squeaking: I am captivated by his expressions, sounds and breathing. My dream of becoming a mom has finally come true… and I was MADE to do this job.

U.S. production of medical equipment and supplies will grow at an annual rate of 1% to 2% in 2010. Our forecast for 2011 calls for
growth of 3% to 4%, which is very close to the average rate for this industry over the past 10 years. It is interesting to note that while the medical equipment and supplies industry generates a large amount of buzz and media attention, its long-term rate of growth in output is about the same as for the U.S. economy as a whole, and the cyclical pattern for this industry has become less volatile in recent years.
The reason for this apparent disparity is that while the volume of medical supplies is expanding at about the same rate as the overall population and economy, the amount of U.S. spending on healthcare products and services is growing significantly faster. Much of the news from the medical industry tends to focus on cutting-edge technological breakthroughs in areas such as electronics and materials. These products tend to be used in low volumes, but they have high prices. The bulk of medical supplies consumed is more mundane products such as tubing, trays, bags, packaging, etc. And these products also fetch a high price. Thus, spending grows rapidly while the rate of growth in production stays close to the average.
This situation cannot persist forever. One day, either by choice or by necessity or because of increased efficiencies in the market, growth in U.S. spending on healthcare will revert to the mean, which is determined by population growth. That day is likely to be approaching faster than many expect, but there will still be opportunities for growth by exporting these products to developing countries.
That's a strategy that should be embraced by more manufacturing sectors than just the medical industry. The world's most rapidly growing economies and populations are in Asia and Latin America, and these emerging markets are prime destinations for high-quality plastics medical and other products designed and manufactured in America. The U.S. population is expanding relatively slowly, and we already consume a relatively high level of medical supplies and other manufactured products on average. But just the opposite is true in places like China, India, and Brazil.
It should by now be obvious to all concerned that if the U.S. economy in general and the plastics industry in particular are going to flourish and prosper over the long term, then this nation must cut way down on our borrowing and consuming, and we must increase our investing and exporting. The medical equipment and supplies industry is poised to be on the forefront of this trend.

Eddie Jordan, the same man who broke the news that Michael Schumacher would race for Merc GP this season, says he has a "hunch" that the German won't be in F1 next year.
Schumacher's return to F1 after a three-year lay-off has been anything but successful as the seven-time World Champ has failed to even finish on the podium, never mind win a race. Added to that, he's been soundly trounced by his team-mate Nico Rosberg.
This has led to numerous reports - and denials - of Schumacher's pending (second) retirement. However, Jordan reckons it could be coming at the end of the year.
'There are too many indications that now give me the feeling he is reconsidering his commitment to his three-year contract'...
Eddie Jordan
"I've a hunch something fundamental has changed. I believe he is disillusioned and thinking of quitting," Jordan told the BBC.
"There are too many indications that now give me the feeling he is reconsidering his commitment to his three-year contract.
"There is far too much movement in the Mercedes motorhome involving managers from drivers from other teams.
"I have heard rumours that (team boss) Ross Brawn's continuity with the team is in doubt, which would be a huge blow.
"It's also rumoured that as a result of the lack of performance of the Mercedes car, expectations for next year within the team are not as high as they were at first.
"The (Rubens) Barrichello incident had an effect - he hadn't realised driver standards had changed so much, and that has surprised Michael.
"My guess is Michael has probably come to the conclusion that, despite his undoubted brilliance, just like this year he's not going to be able to drag that into being a winning car."
However, Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm insists he won't be quitting at the end of the season. But then again, this is the same woman who insisted he wouldn't be returning.
"Michael has no plans to quit at the end of the year," Kehm said.
"Michael is fully geared for next year. When he entered into the whole comeback scenario, he was fully informed about the situation with the car.
"That's why Michael chose it to be a three-year contract - you cannot expect to come back and win straight away in that situation.
"That's why he is not frustrated at all.
"Obviously he would have wished that the developments to the car improved its performance more than they did.
"But it is a three-year project to build a winning team and he is in the middle of the process."

Staff is nice, bartenders are cute, and they have Beer Towers! Its really hard to stand out in a city like NY, but this place gets some major points in my book. Oh, and the VIP lanes look awesome.

In their first public meeting since the Censorship Crisis first came to light last week, the embattled New Rochelle School Board will meet tonight from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM in the new wing at New Rochelle High School. New Rochelle's Talk of the Sound broke the news that authorities at the school district had ripped pages out of Susanna Kaysen's memoir Girl, Interrupted in a vulgar attempt to censor a frank discussion of sexuality contained in the book. The story is just the tip of a very large iceberg, part of the Culture of Censorship that the New Rochelle School District has actively embraced in dealing with students, parents and other New Rochelle residents.
A capacity crowd is expected to be on hand. So far, 127 New Rochelle High School alumni and students have signed up for a Facebook-generated protest, 43 as "confirmed guests" and and 84 as "may be attending" Many other New Rochelle residents have indicated they plan on being there as well. Several news organizations have indicated they may cover the meeting.
The New Rochelle School District has long embraced a Culture of Censorship - blocking access to many thousands of web sites, spiking stories in the Huguenot Herald, failing to inform parents and students of the due process rights under New York State law and the 5th and 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, expurgating pages from the district's Code of Conduct, restricting speech at public board meetings, suppressing criticism of school district officials and more. Meanwhile, excusing and tolerating the behavior of district personnel who assault or neglect children, put children at risk without parental permission, hang nooses in school buildings, makes false statements to Child Protective Services, ignoring the burgeoning problem of gangs and youth violence in our schools, refusing to cooperate with law enforcement in cracking down on crime in the schools and much worse.
In this environment, an environment where ignorance is praised as a virtue and silence in the face of outrage is rewarded, is it any wonder that school district officials thought nothing of censoring a book in the crudest possible way or that students did not think to protest the actions of these school officials?
NEW! - In a transparent attempt to discourage open and transparent government, the school board has added another item to the agenda tonight, this one on Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests. This follows in the wake of a recent letter from Superintendent Richard Organisciak to the Managing Editor of this site disclosing his intent to change the district policy and begin publishing information about who is filing FOIL requests. As we have noted previously, we have been filing FOIL requests for access to public records regularly since October.
As has been pointed out on this web site, the City School District of New Rochelle is not in compliance with the New York State Freedom of Information Law in many different ways. Rather than embrace the law and bring the District into compliance with the the law, the District continues to seek ways to get around the law or discourage residents from making use of the law to get access to public records.
A note on polling and surveys: We had hoped to offer a survey for registered users to express their opinions on the book censorship issue but due to technical reasons the survey was removed. For those who experienced problems with the survey software we regret any inconvenience.

Either fasting plasma glucose (FPG) or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c or A1c) can identify people at elevated risk for developing diabetes within the next five years, but together the two tests better predict excess risk than does either one alone, Japanese researchers report.
While fasting glucose has been the long-standing diabetes screening and diagnostic test, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in 2010 endorsed A1c for the same purposes. Previously, A1c had been used to monitor control of diabetes. Now an A1c of more than 6.5%, like a fasting plasma glucose level of more than 126 mg/dl, is considered diagnostic for diabetes. An A1c between 5.7% and 6.4%, or FPG between 100 and 125 mg/dL, indicates increased risk of development of diabetes, sometimes called "prediabetes."
Writing in the July 9 issue of The Lancet, the researchers note some controversy surrounding use of A1c as a diagnostic tool. Part of this is because many diagnosed with prediabetes by FPG do not meet the ADA's A1c criteria for the condition, leading many to fear that A1c testing alone may miss many cases.
The researchers sought to determine if using both FPG and A1c together could identify the people most likely to progress to diabetes and allow early intervention. The researchers conducted a study that followed participants over several years and included nondiabetic Japanese men and women ages 24 to 82 who, between 1997 and 2003, had initial routine health exams with both FPG and A1c tests. With the initial (baseline) tests, 4103 participants had both levels within the normal range, 1167 had elevated fasting glucose only, 382 had elevated A1c only, and 256 had both elevated glucose and A1c. The researchers assessed these patients' rate of progression to diabetes over several years.
When evaluated on average 4.7 years after the first tests were done, 338 patients of 5903 (5.7%) had progressed to diabetes. Of these, 292 (86%) had been identified as prediabetic at baseline. About 8-9% of the patients with only one of the tests elevated at baseline were diagnosed with diabetes at 4.7 years. In contrast, 60% (154 of 256) of those with both tests elevated at baseline were diagnosed with diabetes after 4.7 years. Patients who were identified as prediabetic by both tests at baseline were 32 times more likely to progress to diabetes than those who had normal results and 6 times more likely to progress to diabetes than those who had only one test elevated.
"Our results suggest that introduction of the A1c criterion in addition to assessment of fasting plasma glucose could effectively target patients who are most likely to progress to diabetes and allow for early intervention," the researchers write.
This study adds fuel to the debate about the use of A1c to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes, write Anoop Misra of Fortis Hospital, New Delhi, and Satish Garg of the University of Colorado Denver, Aurora in a commentary in the same issue of The Lancet. The fact that using both tests identified more high-risk individuals suggests that each plays a different role in predicting diabetes. The tests measure different facets of glucose metabolism. Impaired fasting glucose shows insulin resistance, A1c reflects chronic high blood sugar, and oral glucose tolerance tests—which weren't included in the study—determine muscle insulin resistance, the authors point out.
Results of the Japanese study are similar to those from a U.S. study that found FPG and A1c measure different aspects of abnormal regulation of blood sugar and that together the two tests provide more sensitive and specific prediction of excess risk for diabetes than does either one alone. The identification of high risk populations using both tests may lead to more effective interventions to prevent the progression to diabetes.

Bermuda Popular Destinations
Hamilton Bermuda's harbour capital is a small lively affair crammed full of Victorian architecture and some interesting museums and galleries. A hilltop fort dominates the town with shops, restaurants and pubs offering the visitor a good time.
St George This lovely town was the former capital and is the perfect place for a sightseeing trip. Evidence of British rule is all around and most of the town has stayed the same. Charming Kings Square, The Old State House and the museums are a few of the highlights.
Royal Naval Dockyard The British used this site as a base in the American civil war and later in both world wars, but it was left soon after WW2, as it was too expensive to run. It has since been renovated and now houses the Maritime Museum, cinema, craft market, unusual pub and a snorkel park.
Moving Around Bermuda
Bus As car rental is non existent on the small island the bus system is good enough, but bring the exact fare.
Taxi Available at the airport, and will also give you a guided tour of the island provided you are prepared to part with a bit of dosh.
Moped and bike hire In most fair sized places they are hired out, but a bike could be hard work on the hilly island.
National festival and holidays
Peppercorn Day On April 23rd officials collect one peppercorn as rent of the old state house in St George.
Bermuda Festival The annual festival of the arts is held January- February and highlights the performing and visual arts of the country.
Bermuda Day Celebrated on May 24th every year on what was Queen Victoria's birthday in 1902, then was Empire Day and became Commonwealth day.

Seeing how Persona 3 and 4 was in the same universe and there was a possible sequel hook at the end of 4. If characters from those two games show up who do you want to appear? I would like Fuuka,Chie,Yosuke,Teddie,and Aigis.
Do you think Persona 3 and 4 characters will be in Persona 5?

I would say no, but it will most likely (and hopefully) be placed in the same Japan. I hope they try to tie in the schools or chars from P4 & P3 with a field trip or news or anything.

Grown up Nanako, stealing someone's idea and calling it my own.
Maybe it's one where Chie works with Dojima as a cop and you see her in a guest appearance. Or with Akihiko, in the Persona Anime he was a cop I do believe.
Kanji is running the textile shop (or his own custom doll shop) and making LOADS of cash and everyone loves him and he's happy (CAUSE I WISH IT SO)
and all the character's find their calling, or even run a shop you can go too and buy things from them.

It will be like the Persona 2 reference in P3 and the Persona 3 reference in P4: A name drop, maybe some cameos from some minor characters but nothing really major.

If a chacacter were to return, it would have to be someone who has now grown and moved on.
E.g. Aigis would be a strategic leader in the way that the School Principal lead Sees strategically in Persona 3 but was only a background character.
Another option to throw people and add an 'air of mystery' is to have one of the characters as igors assistant....again in the background but you'd be asking yourself '??? Why are they there?'.

The cameos would have to make sense in some ways. I think it's possible for Naoto and Rise to appear since they both travel around Japan due to there jobs and may run in to the P5 characters during their investigation of some strange events.
Definitely there will be cameos - that's how the series has always done it so far. Now if there were cameos from Trinity Soul, that would be weird/interesting (chronologically that show takes place after P4, so)... Really, I want Nyarlathotep and Philemon to show up again. Reunify the canon, Atlus!
Also on the Nanako for P5 boat.

I doubt that p5 will be a direct sequel to p4 (though I do like those characters), but i'm sure that some of the previous characters will show up to some capacity.
P3 characters showed up in P4, right?
" Well Persona 4 DID end with a sequel hook. The TVs still work. Why would they still be? Does Izanami still have something planned? Who knows her death could be the start of her master plan. "I highly doubt Persona 5 is actually going to be a Persona 4-2.
" @Fusionman said:Dude Persona 4 sold like GOLD in America! Atlus could easily follow on the sequel hook for a quick buck. Except it'll be a good buck." Well Persona 4 DID end with a sequel hook. The TVs still work. Why would they still be? Does Izanami still have something planned? Who knows her death could be the start of her master plan. "I highly doubt Persona 5 is actually going to be a Persona 4-2. "
" Dude Persona 4 sold like GOLD in America! Atlus could easily follow on the sequel hook for a quick buck. Except it'll be a good buck. "I'm certain people are more excited for an actual successor to that game and not a sequel, from the look of things. And I would personally not like that very much as I disliked the path of the True Ending in Persona 4 and a continuation of that would be highly unnecessary, even more-so than what The Answer did in P3 FES.

Cameos probably, but as much as I love the Persona 4 cast, I think it might be a bit strange to see them get their selves into another mystery. I sure as hell wouldn't complain though!
It's possible, but Atlus may also just do something akin to how Persona and Persona 2 were referenced in P3, with oblique references here and there that you would only really get if you were familiar with the games being referenced. (Example: The reporter " Trish" that is sometimes seen on the TV in the dorm common room, the names of the online game characters in the male character's Hermit S. Link.)

Igor will be in Persona 5.
Why does everyone want Nanako to be the next main character? It seems redundant as you're just making her a silent protagonist. I thought the whole idea behind the main's was to create a blank slate that the player fills, influencing the game through that character.

If I was allowed to have my input in the development of the game, I would choose for high school age Nanako from P4 to be a member of your party in P5. However, I have a feeling all we're going to get is a couple of cameos from 3rd tier characters (non-playable social links & teachers).

Mark my words that you will for sure see Rise on T.V a poster or bump into her in the "big city".
As someone who played Persona 4 and just picked up P3P I think i'm liking the characters in 3 a little more then 4 (they both have there strengths). I never played through 3 before but I can see a lot of similarities between the two as far as story and characters.
Also I really hope that P5 comes out on the Ps3 and is not some exclusive PSP game.

Michael (8) has decided to move from Guitar Hero to the real thing. So, two weekends ago, I took him down to Gulou Dajie, a street downtown with a bunch of music shops. We went through all of them and quickly found a nice little, locally made acoustic for 400 RMB (about USD $60) at a place called Xanders. I must say that everyone at the shops was very friendly and attentive -- not at all like my instrument shopping experiences in the US where the cooler-than-thou musicians/clerks are too busy screwing around with their buddies to deal with newbies like me.
This weekend, Michael had his first guitar lesson and walked out playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. His instructor asked him for a song he likes and wants to learn so he can start working on it next week; Michael made the ambitious choice of The Ballroom Blitz. It's quite a step up in difficulty from Twinkle, but I think he's up for it.
Watch out world! If you thought Michael was a devastating and dangerous ladies man before, just wait until he's a rockstar.Posted by Tony at April 23, 2009 3:02 AM | TrackBack
What? no "Cherry Pie" by Warrant?
He panicked a little when he was asked to pick a song, so I think he forgot Cherry Pie and Sweet Home Alabama, songs that I think he actually likes better.
Congratulations Michael! I started playing guitar a few years later than you did (relatively speaking, of course) and I still love it. There is always more to learn and eventually you can pick up a sweet Stratocaster and a Marshall stack and totally rock the house.
Keep it up!

Nvidia's Tablet Of Its Own - And Others
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Chip maker Nvidia (NVDA) has formally announced the Tegra Note - an Android tablet with a price tag of $199. It's a device designed to compete directly with the Google (GOOG)/ Asus Nexus 7.
The new Tegra Tab runs on Nvidia's Tegra 4 processing unit with 72-core GeForce graphics processing and quad-core Cortex CPU, designed to get more graphics capabilities out of the tablet. There is a fifth core just to help save battery power. Nvidia says the tablet is good for as much as 10+ hours of HD video playback before you need to tether it to an A/C outlet.
Nvidia shares were down slightly in Thursday trading, recently changing hansd at $15.99.
According to the announcement the Tegra Note boasts "exceptional sound" from front-facing speakers, a "groundbreaking cameras" (5 MP on the back, VGA up front), "TegraZone-optimized" games as well as "accessories galore".The Tegra Tab differs from the competition by including a stylus. Nvidia says its DirectStylus technology "transforms a normal stylus into an incredibly responsive experience". Nvidia claims the system is capable of fine line/broad stoke control especially when using the new apps bundled with the tablet. The Tegra Note's screen resolution comes up short when compared to the competition. Nvidia's tablet offers a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, compared to a 1920 x 1200 pixel display for the Nexus 7, which costs $229. The company had demonstrated a early version of the tablet at the Computex industry show in Taipei back in June. At that time the device was simply known as the Tegra Tab. (HPQ) announced a Tegra Note tablet as part of its new line of Android and Windows devices. HP calls its version the Slate 7 but didn't announce what it plans to charge for it. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.
