Sony: Strong Play for Growth, Value and Income
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Kicking off the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Kaz Hira, Chief Executive Officer of Sony
(SNE), focused on his company's plans for a cloud-based TV service, 4K TVs and other products. It is all part of the "One Sony" vision that Hira has emphasized since taking over in April 2012.
There are three reasons investors should be bullish about the future of Sony.
1. "We all know content is king. We've made advances there as well," stated Sony President Mike Fasulo. I think that can certainly be seen in the tepid stock price performance for Apple (AAPL) and Samsung reporting a decline in profits, companies seen as royalty in the world of hardware.
Sony has tons of content and it is bringing in more for the consumer. Sony announced two new content products at the CES: PlayStation Now, which is a network for cloud-based games; and a video service for live and on-demand offerings.
2. Financials are compelling for growth, value, and income investors.
The sales growth rate for Sony over the past five years was a negative 5.20%. It is now 10.60% on a quarterly basis. For the past half decade, the earnings-per-share growth rate was off by 35%. This year, the earnings-per-share growth rate is 108.90%. Over the next five years it is projected to be 55.80%. The strong sales of PlayStation 4 add credibility to that bullish outlook. That should please even the most demanding of growth investors.
Those seeking value should be enamored of a price-to-sales ratio of 0.27. That means that every dollar of sales is valued at almost a 75% discount in the stock price of Sony. The price-to-book ratio is 0.86, providing a discount of almost 15% for those buying shares based on the asset value. With both sales and earnings growing, Sony is obviously not a value trap, but a value play.

Apprenticed Investor: Stop-Loss Breakdown
On the other hand, buying a stock right above support, with a stop just below, offers good risk/reward potential. Downside is limited to a few points, while upside may be substantial.
When a stock is rising, its moving average will rise, albeit at a lag. Once the stock begins to falter, its price will fall much faster than the moving average. When the share price crosses the average to the downside, that's a very powerful sell signal.
Since the market peaked in March 2000, every major disaster -- from Lucent (LU) to Global Crossing to WorldCom -- has given clear 200-day moving average sell signals.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Editors' Picks: Coziest Winter Getaways

Reykjavik, Iceland
"It may seem counterintuitive to consider Iceland in winter, but hear us out. It's the off season and therefore surprisingly affordable. The mere 6 hours of daylight only up your chances of witnessing the majestic Northern Lights. And the 40-degree temps shouldn't stop you from taking a dip outside -- it's famous geothermal spa, the Blue Lagoon, offers mineral-rich waters averaging 100 degrees." -- Sara Gilliam, Senior Interactive Producer

On Cedar Avenue, plan on 15 minutes from 35E to the Crosstown due to a crash at the Minnesota River bridge.
Eastbound Hwy. 36 remains closed at Hwy. 5 due to police activity. That is in Stillwater.

Best of the Test: Top Dishwashing Detergents to Get Your Plates Spotless
Of the powders, tabs, and liquid formulas we tested, these did the best job of completely cleaning stuck-on and baked-on messes. We looked at performance on the normal- and heavy-duty cycles, as well as spotting, filming, and hard water residue on glasses.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Cascade Dishwasher Detergent with the Grease Fighting Power of Dawn Powder
Another winning product from Cascade, this powder detergent with Dawn left behind virtually no spotting on glassware and minimal residue on cleaned dishes and flatware. It also performed admirably on the normal and heavy-duty cycles in our tests. However, like most powder detergents, it was tricky to pour it out of the package without making a mess.

Is this for VMWare? ESX? ESXi?
I'm currently looking for a solution for ESXi as I plan to deploy it this year.
I've seen Esxpress mentioned a couple of times as a free backup solution, but currently only supports ESX and not ESXi.
This PDF is probably worth glancing at. I have seen mention of a VI agent for Backup Exec. However, as I understand it you should be able to use standard BE remote windows agents, but I guess this could prove costly dependent upon the number of virtual machines you intend to provision.
I think my current options are to use standard windows remote agents, or to use something like this.

Rumors: Is The Dodgers' Rotation Completed After Dan Haren Signing?
|Jonathan Garza
|Story last updated: November 29, 2013 at 12:13 pm
The wait until mid-December could be on for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they await the opportunity to sign Masahiro Tanaka from Japan, and it could mean that the team's rotation is completed, according to ESPN LA's Mark Saxon.
They just signed Dan Haren to a 1-year/$10 million deal, giving them a fourth starter alongside the trio of Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-jin Ryu, with two potential candidates in Chad Billingsley and Josh Beckett as choices for a fifth starter.
– BLACK FRIDAY sale Dodger fans! Show off your Blue Crew pride with our #ITFDB t-shirts! Only $10 today! Order now! –
Colletti spoke with reporters following the signing of the Haren deal, stating:
"If something else comes our way, we'll take a look at it. I'm not going to close the door on any more starters."
Saxon points out that Beckett will be ready for Spring Training and is set to make $15.75 million in 2014. A similar surgery (thoracic outlet syndrome) forced the St. Louis Cardinals' Chris Carpenter to retire.
Meanwhile, Billingsley is expected back in May, June at the latest. He compares the Stephen Strasburg recovery to that of Billingsley, whose Tommy John surgery is expected to have a recovery time of 12 to 18 months. He underwent it April 25. Strasburg returned after 13 months.
From there Saxon points out that the Dodgers could check in with Stephen Fife, Matt Magill, Ross Stripling or Zach Lee as a potential fifth starter.
At this point though it seems as if it's Tanaka or bust.

Apple at highest-ever iPhone marketshare in US
All models of the iPhone accounted for 53.3 percent of all smartphone purchases in the US in the 12 weeks ending November 25, according to research from Kantar Worldpanel Comtech.
That's good news for Apple, as the figure is the highest it's ever been in the US, rising more than 5 percentage points from the 12-week figure from October. Android, at 41.9 percent, and RIM were the the losers in the US. The Windows Phone platform is now in third place, grabbing a little over 7 percent of all purchases in the study time period.
While the marketshare news is positive in the US, things aren't as nice for Apple in Europe. Android phones account for over 61 percent of all smartphones sold in Europe's top five markets, with Apple trailing drastically at just 25 percent. Developing markets are also iPhone-unfriendly. Android phones sucked up sales in both Brazil, with a 60.7 percent share of the smartphone market, and China at a whopping 72.2 percent.

A school in our cluster has sent out an email asking for some help finding a tech to replace one they are about to loose. My head has asked me to send the feelers out.
They have said half a day per week but that may only be if they were leasing from another school.
PM me if you would like to know more info as i dont want to post specifics here without their permission.

David Luiz celebrates playing against Paulinho with great Instagram pics [Spurs 1 - Chelsea 1]
There was so much needle before, during and after Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.
Before the match almost all the chatter was about Andre Villas-Boas' relationship with Jose Mourinho.
During the Premier League clash, Jan Vertonghen's running battle with Fernando Torres dominated proceedings with El Nino eventually sent off.
And finally, after Chelsea had bagged a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane, John Terry had a little dig at the Spurs supporters.
So, kudos to David Luiz for reminding us what football can be about – friendship – even if your Brazilian national team mate plays for the opposition in a fiercely contested London derby.
After the game, David Luiz took to Instagram and posted a couple of post game pictures with his arm round Paulinho and the following message:
"This is football! Was so nice to play against you bro @paulinhop8 ! Isto é futebol! Foi mto legal jogar contra vc irmão! #geezer #cfc"

This is delicious and comes together quickly. Loved the lemon butter and a little crispy prosciutto on top would be a nice addition.
I made this for Christmas Dinner 2012, and received rave reviews. The hint of lemon was perfect against the Prime Rib and Roast Potatoes. I would definitely make it again.
this is a great side to serve for a holiday meal, especially where many of the other dishes are rich. it provides a nice light and healthy counterpoint that is still delicious. my guests raved about it when I served it for christmas eve dinner.
Delightful recipe, my 4 year old grandson, who eats no green, gobbled these up on Thanksgiving.
The dish had nice flavor. I added toasted pine nuts, which I would do again in the future if making this recipe. I was distracted noodling around with the lemon and over cooked the beans- no one's fault but my own!
I loved everything about this dish-- great flavor, simple, easy to make. It was the perfect side for our Christmas dinner with rib roast and roast potatoes. I par- boiled the beans ahead of time, ran them under cold water and set them aside until the last minute and it worked well. This is my new favorite green bean dish and will be our staple side for Christmas Day.
I have never given 2 forks before but this recipe just didn't work for me or my guests. Made this for a very traditional English Christmas feast. Everything was great except these green beans. The lemon was overwhelming, the lemon flesh unattractive and the dish completely lacked any subtlety. If you are looking for a green bean recipe for a special occassion, this is not it.

3 1/2 cups

1 cup
shredded smoked Gouda cheese, or more to taste
1/4 cup

bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons
1 tablespoon

2 cups
heavy cream
1 dash
hot pepper sauce, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Yeah! I finally found a recipe that my entire family raved about. I made this as written for the most part, but used Velveeta shredded cheese in the grits. I thought this made the recipe even richer, so next time I will use cheddar or Gouda cheese. This is a very rich dish. This makes alot of sauce, so next time I will use 2lbs of shrimp and more spinach and mushrooms and get 2 meals out of one recipe. I don't think my family would frown over leftovers of this recipe.
This is amazing! absolutely delicious!- my husband went back for thirds. I will definitley make this again

I have never made or eaten grits before. I wasn't even sure what grits were or what they were made out of until I googled them. I used a yellow cornmeal to make them. I also didn't have cream, so I used homo milk instead. To thicken the sauce I added a bit of cornstarch mixed with cold water.
Tasted great, although I felt like I was eating cream of wheat cereal for supper. lol
I tried this grits recipe after having a similar dish on vacation in Florida a few weeks ago & it turned out just as good as the one we had then! I only fixed the grits but it was delicious & easy!
WONDERFUL! I made this over the weekend and it was devine. Next time I will make a few changes. I will cook the grits in water instead of the chic stock. Also at the end I will add only 1 cup heavy cream instead of 2. I found that two cups left too much sauce behind. 1 cup will leave you with a thicker gravy. I will definately be making this dish alot. Thanks Irene.
I would not change a thing on this recipe. It was the best ever. Thank-you.
Love, love, love this recipe. I had never had shrimp and grits before trying this recipe but, now after trying this recipe I'm hooked.

MALACCA: The hunt is on for the killers of a 14-year-old female Malayan Sun Bear and an Arabian stallion at the Malacca Zoo.
Visitors alerted the zoo keepers when they saw a male Sun Bear lying protectively over the still body of its partner at about 5pm on Sunday.
"The keepers rushed to the site and found the animal lifeless," said zoo veterinarian Dr Zubaidah Kamarudin.
A post-mortem revealed that the bear had eaten a banana laced with toxin.
An autopsy is yet to be performed on the 17-year-old horse "Basket" which was found dead by groomer P. Lohan around 7am yesterday.
"We have yet to identify the type of poison used but have lodged a police report," Dr Zubaidah added.
She also said poison-laced oranges, bananas and sugar canes were found in the enclosures of a chimpanzee and two orang utans, which are believed to have refused to eat them because of the pungent smell. The feed has been sent to the Chemistry Department.
The zoo is not taking any chances. "We are monitoring the condition of the animals round the clock," added Dr Zubaidah.
State CID deputy chief expressed confidence in catching the culprits soon.
He declined to elaborate but sources said police were looking for two former zoo workers seen at the elephants' enclosure on Sunday trying to feed the animals.
"They ran off carrying a package when ex-colleagues spotted them," a source said.
The sources believe the two were linked to private zoo operators.
It is learnt that the Sun Bear was presented to the Malacca Zoo in 2000 after it was caught in the wilds of Johor.
The owner of the stallion had kept the horse at the zoo and it was not one of the exhibits.
The Malacca Zoo and Night Safari, sited on a 21.22ha zoological park, is the second biggest zoo in the country after Zoo Negara.
It has over 1,200 species of animals made up of 215 different types of birds as well as mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
The major attractions at the zoo include the critically-endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros, Malayan Sun Bear, Malayan Gaur Oxen, Serow and the Malayan Tiger.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam has offered an RM10,000 reward to anyone providing information leading to the arrest of the culprits.
He also asked the zoo management to install CCTVs immediately.

Citi announced its quarter this morning and there are various ways to tell that it was good, of which "the stock was up" is probably the main one. A possibly less objective test is that, back in March, Mike Corbat told everyone how he would grade himself, if he was grading himself. As he put it today:
Last month, I presented three targets we aim to reach by the end of 2015. First is achieving an efficiency ratio in Citicorp in the mid 50% range. Second, we want to generate a return on Citigroup's tangible common equity of over 10%. And third is reaching a return on Citigroup's assets of between 90 and 110 basis points in a risk-balanced manner.
Today Citi announced $4.0 billion of net income (excluding CVA/DVA), or $1.29 per share, which I work out to around 82bps of ROA, 9.86% ROTCE, and a 55.6% Citicorp efficiency ratio.1 So … pretty good, all in all?
One oddity of Corbat's three-part plan is that two of the parts sort of collapse into each other. Read more »

Obama should teach Putin how to be a real Man
Well, who is the strongest nation in the world and who can do whatever she wants to do: clearly not the impoverished Russia but our great country America! So, how it is possible that they (the Russians) just went ahead and annexed Crimea and maybe the whole Ukraine (next week)? Are we here to stand and just watch? Who is the virtuoso political player in the world - Putin? Our president is also a Man and WE definitely CAN DO IT! Instead of standing and complaining or playing with some funny "sanctions" on few individual, our best strategy is to show to Putin the full power of our empire - yes, we can do it too! Our president should immediately proceed to implement an imminent annexation of Canada (clearly Mexico is out of question!). Show those Russians how to do it right! I guess, we will need to make some renaming too - Quebec should just be the State of North Louisiana and British Columbia ... well maybe call it Washington's Columbia. I also have mixed feelings about Regina - anybody has a good idea how we should call it? I am sure that this is the best (and the safest economically) solution to the present political crises that will reinstall our greatness and glory for the next 1000 years. :D
(Please do not take it seriously - or maybe you should)
The basic problem is that one believes that everything is real, and thus everything is treated as such.

Speed Dating: Did Taylor Swift Find a New Guy...Already? (EXCLUSIVE)
The pop star has reportedly hooked up with singer Ed Sheeran -- or has she?
Brace yourselves: rumor has it that Taylor Swift has moved on to a new man.
Since she split with Harry Styles earlier this month, reports have swirled that the country crooner has started a romance with another British singer, Ed Sheeran, whom she collaborated with on the single "Everything Has Changed." Fanning the flames of the rumors: Swift was clearly thinking about Sheeran on Wednesday when she gushed about him on Twitter.
"Quick photo shoot in London and now we're in Madrid," she wrote. "BFF status to @edsheeran for hooking up my friends with tickets to his nashville show!!"
But a good friend of Sheeran tells Celebuzz exclusively that everything isn't quite as it seems.
"It's all nonsense," said celebrity tattoo artist Kevin Paul, who has inked both Sheeran, 21, and Styles, 18.
"To be honest, they thought Ed and Taylor were together before she was with Harry, because I tattooed "RED" on Ed during his last tour in the U.K. for Taylor's album," he said. "It's part of his life. It's not for her. It's because he is on the album, but the press really saw it as [being] for her."
Regardless, Paul insists "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress, 23, and Sheeran are just "really close and really good friends" with a "brother/sister relationship."
"No," Paul said, despite the fact that Swift was spotted in London on Monday. He also insisted the two were doomed from the start.
"One's a British pop star; one's an American pop star," he said. "They've both got their own tours. They're both doing a lot of traveling. The reality is that having a relationship in that situation is just not going to happen really. It's merely impossible to have a relationship in that type of situation."
Launch the gallery above to see Swift's recent trip to London, and watch the video below to hear more about the rumors. Then tell us: Who do you think is Taylor's next man?

Forecasting S&P 500 Volatility
Fri, Feb 6, 2009 | Jared Woodard
The academic literature seems conflicted on whether backward-looking methods of forecasting volatility are superior to methods deriving forecasts from the volatility implied by options prices. This blog is intended for practitioners, not academics, so we'll save ourselves and you, dear reader, the pain of a thorough literature review. For the truly geeky, here's an anecdotal trawl of some relevant papers, in no particular order: Ogus 2005, Geske 2007, Yu 2008, Benavides 2004, Aguilar 1999, Brorsen 1998, Lehnert 2001.
We decided to see what some widely followed methods would forecast about S&P 500 volatility over the next several months.
In descending order, the lines above plot:
a) the at the money implied volatility of SPX options through September 2009;
b) the prices of VIX futures through the August 2009 contract;
c) a GARCH(1,1) forecast averaging the current and projected volatility n days out (which is intended to be more appropriate for pricing an option today that is n days out), using the past ten years of daily SPX closing prices;
d) a GARCH(1,1) forecast using the past ten years of daily SPX closing prices;
e) a GARCH(1,1) forecast using the past five years of daily SPX closing prices.
As with any analysis of this sort, the caveats are as important as the conclusions. None of these squiggly lines warrants a trading decision in and of itself, obviously. These are just projections – even the observed SPX option and VIX futures prices are just a snapshot. Think of these as moving averages for the future – even if one of these forecasts happened to be spot on, the real historical movement would be a lot noisier. For the forecast relying on five years of prices, the sample size is acceptable (n>1200), but intuitively, the fact that volatility is mean-reverting doesn't mean we should expect it to revert to the sub-20 levels that were prevalent during the last bull market. Things have changed.
What we can say is that traders who actually stand to gain or lose from their forecasts are pricing volatility higher than any of these backward-looking methods would seem to warrant. Even if we shorten the examination window to include only the recent troubles (in the hopes of matching the historical data with the prices that real traders are viscerally aware of), a GARCH forecast relying on intraday data for the past two years (not pictured) has volatility staying about flat over the next 180 days.
The implied and historically-based forecasts can't both be right. Index options are somewhat notorious for carrying an extra risk premium insofar as they've traditionally been used as hedging vehicles (the literature on this is quite good, for another time perhaps), and that may explain some of the disparity here. On the other hand, persistent elevated volatility is not to be trifled with, and keep in mind that a medium-term decline would be entirely consistent with periodic spikes and surprises.
Ultimately, for the near future we want to be net short options on indexes and long vega on individual equities.

What is the difference between hydrocodone, oxycodone, and codiene?
- Posted:
- 16 Feb 2010 by chronicpainhurts
- Topics:
- osteoarthritis, pain, fibromyalgia, muscle pain, sciatica, hydrocodone, oxycodone
Responses (3)
16 Feb 2010
The only thing I know is they are all in the same family of pain relief medication. Codeine in used for mild to moderate pain and the other 2 are for moderate to severe pain. That is the extent of what I know. Hope it is of some help
16 Feb 2010
Each of these pain medications are combined with a different compound or anti-inflammatory medication. For example Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin mixed with aspirin. I take Hydrocodone 10/660 top number is the mg of Vicodin and the bottom number is the amount of aspirin.
Oxycodone is Morphine compounded with something else and Oxycontin was the purest of the Morphine compounds.
thanks all, but I used to take vicodin and mine was 500mg tylenol with 5 mg hydrocodone.{which I thought was codiene}..I have never heard of vicodin with asprin in it? wow, I learned something new... I just thought alll hydrocodone, oxycodone, and codiene were somehow all the same thing... in some way..thanks again:)
there is no asprin in vicodin or lortabs or norco or anything hydrocodone... it is all tylenol..
Vicodin is NOT mixed with aspirin. It is compounded with tylenol and usually noted as APAP or acetaminophen - which is the generic for tylenol.
Sorry Marie, but your answer was wrong.
Marie24709, you really should not reply or comment on something you obviously
know nothing about, someone may take action on what you say and get themselves into big trouble.
Actually there is a medication called "Damason-P" that has hydrocodone and aspirin in it.
There is also another medication that is called "Reprexain" or "Vicoprofen" that has hydrocodone and ibprophin in it. Just so you know hydrocodone does NOT only come with acetaminophen. It depends on what you are being treated for which one the doctor may choose to give you. If you take a lot of hydrocodone for chronic pain it may be better for your liver to take the hydrocodone with ibprophin in it. Because the max daily dose of acetaminophen is 4,000. People really need to know what they are talking about before they post things. I hope this helps!
"Hydrocodone" can be and is compounded with many other medications. Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and Tylenol to name just a few. However, when "hydrocodone" is mixed with "Tylenol" it is then called by its new name which is... "Vicodin" and that is the "Brand Name" of these two drugs mixed together. The generic of Vicodin is "hydrocodone/apap".
When "hydrocodone" is mixed with any other drug... such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or whatever - then each new combination will have its own new name, as well as, its own specific dosages of each.
Vicodin will always be - ONLY "hydrocodone compounded with tylenol". Then it comes in specific "dosages" of each of the "hydrocodone/tylenol" as indicated as 5/325, 7.5/325, 10/660, plus others.
I hope this will help clarify some of the confusion about what Vicodin really is.
16 Feb 2010
I was always confused with medication differences especially with codeine /hydrocodone/oxycodone.
What I learned is this: Codeine being the lesser of the three as far as pain control is concerned. Codeine/Tylenol is the weakest of the three medications. Codeine is a natural opiate not man made (in a lab), they add the tylenol to increase the effectiveness of the drug, and reduce fever, and also can be added for anittussive reasons.
More often than not, people experience itching, and more frequent side effects from this drug. It can also be mixed with Aspirin, so it would be for example: APAP/Codeine #3, or it may be written as: Tylenol/Codeine #3, The number is the miligrams of codeine added, it starts with one and goes as high as four.
Hydrocodone can also be mixed with Tylenol or aspirin. Anywhere from 325mg of aspirin/to/500mg of aspirin. Hydrocodone is man made, and is much stronger than the codeine is. Oxycodone is also man made and will also have Aspirin/or/Tylenol added as a means to bump up the effectiveness of the narcotic Hydrocodone.
Oxycodone is even stronger, and can have Tylenol /or/Aspirin added.
The best way to say this is maybe, the "man made" drugs have a "ketone" added that binds to the receptors in your brain, thus making these two drugs much stronger than the natural occuring drug like codeine.
There are more "chemistry type" reasons these drugs are really not Technically in the "same" family. How they break down in our systems and what more is added to insure the strength. Albeit all three are controlled substances, and are called opiates.
I hope this helps a little bit to clarify the differences> I'm no expert, so I am sure the more seasoned people here will have an answer to help you also.
Keep reading all you can about your medications, knowledge is powerful, and may come in handy when you need pain control. You have a better understanding about what may help YOU best.
God Bless

You may feel overwhelmingly sleepy quite suddenly at these times, shortly before bedtime or feel sleepy upon awakening. The good news is that some research suggests that the accumulated sleep debt can be worked down or "paid off."
Though scientists are still learning about the concept of basal sleep need, one thing sleep research certainly has shown is that sleeping too little can not only inhibit your productivity and ability to remember and consolidate information, but lack of sleep can also lead to serious health consequences and jeopardize your safety and the safety of individuals around you.
For example, short sleep duration is linked with:
According to researchers Michael H. Bonnet and Donna L. Arand, "There is strong evidence that sufficient shortening or disturbance of the sleep process compromises mood, performance and alertness and can result in injury or death. In this light, the most common-sense 'do no injury' medical advice would be to avoid sleep deprivation."
On the other hand, some research has found that long sleep durations (nine hours or more) are also associated with increased morbidity (illness, accidents) and mortality (death). Researchers describe this relationship as a "U-shaped" curve (see illustration) where both sleeping too little and sleeping too much may put you at risk. This research found that variables such as low socioeconomic status and depression were significantly associated with long sleep. Some researchers argue that these other variables might be the cause of the longer sleep: the fact that individuals with low socioeconomic status are more likely to have undiagnosed illnesses because of poor medical care explains the relationship between low socioeconomic status, long sleep and morbidity/mortality. Researchers caution that there is not a definitive conclusion that getting more than nine hours of sleep per night is consistently linked with health problems and/or mortality in adults, while short sleep has been linked to both these consequences in numerous studies.
"Currently, there is no strong evidence that sleeping too much has detrimental health consequences, or even evidence that our bodies will allow us to sleep much beyond what is required," says Kristen L. Knutson, PhD, Department of Health Studies, University of Chicago. "There is laboratory evidence that short sleep durations of 4-5 hours have negative physiological and neurobehavioral consequences. We need similar laboratory and intervention studies to determine whether long sleep durations (if they can be obtained) result in physiological changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep extension."
But a key question is how much is too much or too little. Researchers Shawn Youngstedt and Daniel Kripke reviewed two surveys of more than 1 million adults conducted by the American Cancer Society and found that the

According to some users on this site I thought the VITA was the only handheld you ever needed to own
Yeah I have 3 of the bloody things 2 originals and an XL although I have been spending all of my gaming time with the WiiU I mainly use the 3DS for Resi Evil Mercs & Revelations online, Tekken online fights and Virtual Console/eShop titles. I was never into Pokemons and Denpamens because I always assumed those types of games were for babies.

Ordinarily I find this kind of post annoying because it smacks of trolling since making a decision on whether or not to buy something based upon opinions of strangers on Internet forums isn't a great idea and such posters are often disingenuous and are merely trying to stir people up.
In this case however it looks like a genuine outreach and was useful to me as well since my daughter is a big Pokemon fan and that's pretty much all that's driving me to consider getting a 3DS for her birthday so she can then get the new game at launch. I wasn't aware of the screen resolution issue; since she's got DSiWare to transfer I wouldn't be trading in her DSI towards the purchase which will give her a chance to see how DS games look before migrating them.
This does spur an additional question:
I understand that DSiWare can only run from internal storage on the 3DS and she only has a few titles, but how much storage is available for this?
I'll probably mainly be getting her retail downloads where possible so I figure a 32GB SDHC card is in order given the file sizes.
Long as we're talking Pokemon what eShop titles are available and does anyone have any favourites so I could potentially pre-load the system for her?

@Sean_aaron, for eShop games, Family Tennis 3D, Pushmo, Denpa Men, 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure, 3D Classics: Twinbee, Mario Land 2 (VC), Kirby's Dream Land (VC), Kirby's Block Ball (VC), Tetris (VC), and Super Mario Bros (VC) should be safe picks for your daughter.
Some (like Twinbee) might be a little difficult, but content wise they're all good. The bold titles are the ones I'd really recommend, though.

I've been buying almost exclusively Nintendo handhelds with the exception of Sega Gamegear (because it had color!). I pre-ordered the 3DS due to the great experience I had on the DS. The strength of the DS was that it offered very original and creative games not to mention it started the casual gamer games that have carried over to the iOS and Android machines. The only problem with the DS and with Nintendo in geneeral was very little 3rd party support. With the 3DS, Nintendo vowed to change that and the 3DS has started to enjoy 3rd party support. The top game IMHO last year was Resident Evil Revelations. Capcom promised a console worthy title on a handheld and they delivered. It is close to 4 gig which is still the biggest to date I believe. While a port MGS III showed graphical improvement over the PS2 title. The eshop offerings have been amazing. If you like platform games there is Mighty Switch Force which uses the 3D effect in hilarious ways (you or your enemies get crushed onto your screen!) and is my personal favorite platformer at the moment. Pushmo and its successor, Crashmo is a popular puzzle game that uses the 3D effect to solve the puzzles. Marvel Pinball is amazing on the 3DS and I can't wait for more DLCs for it! Denpaman utilizes AR technology in which you grab these virtual creatures from the your real world surroundings, form a party, and go dungeon romping.
The eshop has even begun to offer exclusive only digital download of retail quality games such as Unchained Blades which was Japan only retail game. They also have begun offering digital versions of some retail games. It seems you are really into rpgs and the 3DS has gotten quite a few up to now. There is eshop offereings of Unchained Blades, Denpamen, and Crimson Shroud. For retail there is Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor, Harvest Moon, Tales of the Abyss,
To your question about DS games on 3DS- it is so bad that I won't play DS games on it. Luckly I have my original phat DS. The colors get all weird and if you decide to play in original resolution, the screen suddenly becomes so small to be unplayable (at least to me).
To your question about Pokemon: I believe you can trade and battle other Pokemon players around the globe.
Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend the 3DS if you like quarky and cute, innovative and original, and if you have enjoyed Nintendo games in the past. if you are worried about the smaller screen size (compared to your Vita) get the 3DS XL. The social aspect of the device is much better than the near useless Near (Sony's answer to Nintendo's Streetpass/Spotpass feature). I enjoy it s much that I take my 3DS everywhere hoping to collect another Mii which can be used for other games such as Mii Quest (a very silly dungeon romp).

Thanks for the feedback guys, though I was specifically interested in any pokemon eShop titles (I assume they exist). She's going to be ten in June, but I expect I'll get it at the end of the month since I have some holiday standby money coming. Nice to see the console is cheaper than I thought it was; she wants the red one.
Though she does have a few other games pretty much the only thing she plays on it now is Pokemon Black version 2.

Just remember that the Pokédex is $15 (the most expensive eShop item), and it's not even a game per sé.
It has loads of statitics, facts, 3D models, and sounds of all the Pokémon, as well as a couple of quizes, but that's it I believe (someone clarify if I'm wrong).

She knows what a pokedex is and despite having one in-game I'm willing to bet she'd still like the standalone version, but I'll read the review to be sure.

Unlike many others (I, II), Mark Cuban hopes Yahoo (YHOO) takes Facebook (FB) to the cleaners with its patent suit. His reason? Cuban believes a giant verdict in Yahoo's favor would make the public aware of "just how horrific our patent law is." While believing patent laws can protect innovators at times, he thinks they're far more likely to be "anti-competitive, corruptive, [and] impede creativity and innovation." (also)

I hope Yahoo takes FB to the cleaners too. I'm tired of hearing about FB. No one needs FB really, is that disclosed as risk in their S-1? It's not like they created something really beneficial. I find it so much more meaningful talking and keeping up with relatives overseas via Skype, Google Chat, etc.
Whatever you think about him, yahoo, or facebook, he has a point. It's time for patents to be eliminated. Yes, all of them. No more hiding behind monopolies. Compete on merits of your product, not based on how many lawyers you have. Yahoo will continue to go the way of SCO if this is their new business model.
did you create anything yet? can i clone that and sell at 50% discount and pay you nothing for your invention? patent does not stop you from using other's patent as long as you pay a small fee for using it. what is wrong with that? check out the samsung blackberry curve. that is how good samsung can be...before they steal apple patent and made samsung galaxy II. they dont need to spend billions in reasearch n delelopment. now they sell phone for much less to kill the others. is that fair?
I create stuff all the time (as part of the companies I work/have worked for). Sure, you can copy it, I don't really care.
- Do it first
- Keep margins high enough to profit but low enough that you don't encourage a raft of competitors (vary % based on barriers to entry).
- The most important: Do it better
