Forza 5 team merges real-world with game footage via FilmSpeed
The Forza 5 team has taken a unique approach to marketing their upcoming realistic racing game that is exclusive to the Xbox One. The team partnered up with famous supercar maker McLaren and stunt car driver Tanner Foust to produce what they are calling "FilmSpeed.
FilmSpeed is a short film shot in the zoetrope format and features more than 680 aluminum panels that feature frame by frame scenes from the highly anticipated Forza Motorsport 5 video game that will launch with the Xbox One this November.
The aluminum panels were spaced several inches apart and filmed via a rooftop-mounted camera on a McLaren 12C supercar driven by Tanner Foust at speeds up to 120 mph. The result is nothing short of amazing and is one of the most original and creative marketing plans I have ever seen. I have watched the video several times now and after writing this article I think I'm going to watch it again.

GTA V sets new record in sales - $1 billion in just three days
Earlier this week, I reported that Grand Theft Auto V had become the fastest selling game of all time, and was well on its way to reaching $1 billion faster than any other game by weeks. Today, Take-Two Interactive announced that in just three days' time, GTA V has surpassed the $1 billion in sales milestone.
"We believe this marks the fastest that any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached this significant milestone," the company said in a statement.
"Grand Theft Auto is a cultural phenomenon and Rockstar Games continues to redefine what can be achieved in interactive entertainment," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. "We are incredibly proud of the extraordinary critical and commercial response to Grand Theft Auto V."
The only other video game to ever come close to this new record was Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which netted $1 billion over the course of 15 days. Unfortunately, Take-Two Interactive did not disclose just how many copies have already sold, but they did say that the $1 billion mark has been passed.
Valve is planning three big announcements next week
Next week is going to be big for Valve as the company plans to make "three big announcements" that are said to be centered on bringing Steam into the living room and onto your TV. Of course, these announcements will most likely pertain to Valve's long rumored Steam Box gaming console.
While there no promises that we will see an actual Steam Box on display, the chance of hardware making an appearance is very likely. We all know that Valve CEO Gabe Newell is a genius in his own right, and the idea of Valve launching its Steam Box console just ahead of the release of next-gen consoles could prove to be very lucrative.
When you think about it, would you rather purchase a next-gen console for several hundred dollars and still have to buy games, or would you rather purchase a Steam Box for which you already have dozens of games to play? If the Steam Box is released next week, you can expect the console gaming world to be turned upside down.

Star Citizen continues to pull in millions, new stretch goal revealed
Star Citizen feels like that 'little game that could' continuing to rake in more and more money as time goes on. Roberts Space Industries' space title has added a new stretch goal if it reaches $21 million.
If Star Citizen reaches $21 million, something I think it will easily do, the developer will add a new mechanic, a salvage mechanic. Roberts Space Industries says that this new mechanic is pretty much a career for a gamer to take on. A salvage career will feature its own story elements and "universe-shaping endgames."
Salvage mechanics will float through the galaxy using the flight and first-person shooter features in search of the darkest and most valuable secrets in the great, dark beyond.
GTA V cashes in on $800 million in 24 hours, breaks world record
Just 24 hours after its launch, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V has officially became the fastest selling game in history. Today, Take-Two Interactive, the owners of Rockstar Games, announced that the game had earned more than $800 million in its first day of sales, making it the fastest selling game in the franchise's history, not to mention the world.
GTA V is set to break the $1 billion mark within the first 48 hours if sales continue at current levels. Reaching $1 billion is something that took 15 days for the previous record holder, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which only managed $500 million in its first 24 hours of sale. To put this accomplishment into perspective, the most expensive movie ever made, James Cameron's Avatar, took 16 days to earn $1 billion. Considering that GTA V is the most expensive game ever made, it's only right that it also becomes the fastest selling game of all time.
AMD: PC gaming will benefit from next-gen consoles
AMD is the company that has hardware in both next-gen consoles, with x86-based APUs in the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. We know to expect benefits as PC gamers from next-gen consoles thanks to the x86 architecture, which means better, and much more polished 'ports', if you can even call them that with this generation of consoles.
AMD's Matt Skynner has had some interesting things to say during an interview with Forbes, where he said that not only is PC gaming alive and well, but that it's actually growing. Skynner said that the architectures in the next-gen consoles are similar to that of the PC, which makes it much cheaper and most of all, easier for developers to create games for both the consoles, and PC.
Skynner actually said that next-gen games will actually run better on AMD hardware because the games have been built from the ground up on AMD-powered consoles. This is going to be quite interesting considering NVIDIA is still by far in the game, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of benefit AMD will have with these next-gen titles. You can be sure we'll be covering this when the next-gen consoles, and games launch in November.
DICE playing with Kinect-based head tracking in Battlefield 4
If Battlefield 4 wasn't already looking exciting enough, then the ever-so-slight promise of head tracking being worked on by DICE should make you quiver with excitement.
The news is coming from an interview with Xbox Wire and Battlefield 4's executive producer Patrick Bach, who said that there are multiple applications for Kinect on the Xbox One being worked on. He said: "With Kinect, we're looking into features that enhance the controls including peeking and leaning and tracking head movement, as well as incorporating voice commands."
DICE has already said that we should expect some form of Kinect use in Battlefield 4, but it wasn't to be motion controls. It will most likely arrive as voice commands, or something to that effect. This news is some what of a tease for Oculus Rift, with DICE working on head tracking, should we expect virtual reality support? DICE would see mountains of happy fans if they were to do that, it would also sell Rift headsets like hotcakes.
Ryse, an Xbox One exclusive, will only run at 900p, not 1080p
This is something I expected, but Microsoft has announced that it's Xbox One exclusive title Ryse, will not be running at the native 1920x1080 resolution on the Xbox One, but 900p instead.
Crytek is the developer behind the Xbox One exclusive, with Aaron Greenberg, who is the chief of staff for the Devices and Studios group, confirming that Ryse will run at just 900p. Greenberg did post an update to Twitter, saying "Forza 5 is native @1080p, Ryse is native @900p, but Xbox One upscales all titles to 1080p & they look amazing."
Is this more damage control? I think so. Resolution definitely isn't everything, but after 8 years on the market, you would think that the 'next-gen' consoles would be able to handle a resolution of 1080p. Especially so, when PCs have been doing it without a problem for a decade or more now. Even with the beefed-up GPU and CPU specs in the weeks leading up to the Xbox One's mass production.
Big publishers offering $10 upgrade on current- to next-gen games
Next-gen consoles are arriving in mid-November, but what happens to those current-generation games you buy for your Xbox 360 and PS3? Well, the big publishers like EA, Activision, Ubisoft and 2K Games are offering you a great deal on upgrading your games.
Upgrading your games? What ever do I mean? Well, if you purchase a game on the Xbox 360 or PS3, when their successor platform is released, either the Xbox One or PS4, you can download the next-gen game for just US$10. Some of the biggest games of 2013 are included, with this list below:
- Battlefield 4 (XB1, PS4)
- Assassin's Creed IV (XB1, PS4)
- Watch Dogs (XB1, PS4)

Blizzard to close Diablo III Auction Houses in Spring 2014
Blizzard just announced that it would be shutting down Diablo III's most hated feature. That's right, boys and girls, the much loathed auction houses from Diablo III will be going away effective March 18, 2014. Blizzard said that both real money and in-game gold auction houses will be shut down as they feel it detracts from what the game is all about: "killing monsters and scoring cool loot."
When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as we've mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot. With that in mind, we want to let everyone know that we've decided to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from Diablo III.
We feel that this move along with the Loot 2.0 system being developed concurrently with Reaper of Souls will result in a much more rewarding game experience for our players.
We're working out the details of how the auction house system will be shut down, but we wanted to share the news as soon as we made the decision in order to give everyone as much advance notice as possible. Please note that the shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014. We will keep everyone informed as we work through this process.

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results Of Operations
The average home equity line portfolio rose $6.5 million or 18.9 percent to $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009. The Corporation focused on the origination of these adjustable-rate loans. Loan originations outpaced principal paydowns over the year.
Average total deposits (interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing) grew $46.9 million or 3.7 percent from $1.28 billion in the second quarter of 2009 to $1.33 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Average noninterest-bearing checking grew $16.6 million or 8.4 percent to $214.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 from the second quarter of 2009. Average interest-bearing checking balances totaled $254.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, rising $60.8 million or 31.4 percent from the same quarter in 2009. Checking growth is attributable to the Corporation's focus on core deposit growth, particularly checking, coupled with growth in our Ultimate Checking product, which provides customers with a low-cost checking product and a higher yield for larger balances.
Average money market accounts also rose, from $414.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $510.6 million for the same quarter of 2010, an increase of $96.5 million or 23.3 percent. The Corporation's focus on core deposit growth, as well as certain customers tending to "park" funds in money market accounts in lower interest rate environments accounted for this growth.Average certificates of deposit declined from $406.5 million in the June 2009 quarter to $274.2 million in the June 2010 quarter, a decline of $132.3 million or 32.5 percent. The Corporation allowed higher costing certificates of deposit to run-off and replaced those funds with lower costing, more stable core deposits. Mr. Kissel commented, "Our reduced reliance on certificates of deposit and our core deposit growth continues to strengthen customer relationships, reduce the overall cost of funds, contribute to profitability and enhance franchise value."

The University of Michigan-Dearborn
While I am certainly not an expert in this field, the invitation to attend this conference inspired me to do a bit of reading on the topic and to reflect on it in terms of some of the work that has been done and a few of the social ramifications. I hope this essay, although not a scientific paper, will provide food for thought and reflections. I, in turn, expect to learn a great deal from the proceedings here.
The vision.
The rise of modern science has inspired in theorists the vision of machines which can finally free mankind from the drudgery of labor. Such machines to do mankind's work were dubbed robots, and science fiction books and movies, and even more serious works, are replete with imaginary examples of robots which are either almost human or, indeed, sometimes super-human, in their behavior.
The rise of modern computer technology, in its turn, has made such visions seem more realistic and even attainable in our lifetime. Such expectations have encouraged some of the best minds of our era to work at producing thinking machines, first to be applied to industrial output (complex automation) and then to even replicate human intelligence itself.
Philosophers and then scientists have long debated the question of "how intelligent can machines be?" from even before the computer age, which now makes the question of more direct import. What we currently see, interestingly enough, is that some of the issues that have shaped the philosophical debate are the very ones which today confront those now dealing with the various aspects of artificial intelligence--the meanings of knowledge, logic, reason, understanding, insight, perception, instincts, and simple common sense and how to replicate them.
A fundamental question is: Can man hope (or fear) that he can create machines which will become more intelligent than he? The traditional answer of philosophy is that machines, indeed, cannot be more intelligent than people simply because man is the creator and the machine the created. They supported this view with the proposition that only humans have "original intent" while machines can only have "derived intent." Only time will settle this question; but, hopefully, man still must be the judge. One thing is now clear, that in performing specific and limited tasks, present machines are--even now--more dependable than most people; yet while in dealing with complex matters, these machines can seem rather stupid and inept.
What can machines do?
Modern machines, in effect computers, certainly have done remarkable work in the design and manipulation of inanimate objects (what we call engineering and manufacturing), while they have been less helpful in the definition, coalescing and application of goals (what we generally call management or governance).
A desire to rationalize manufacturing should be analyzed in three ways: First, to what extent is it reasonable, considering the current level of science and computer technology, to use robots in production? In other words, what level and type of automation is it reasonable to attempt presently when we consider a cost/benefit ratio of inputs to outputs? We have only to recall the momentous failure of General Motors when it tried to introduce robots on the assembly line, at astounding expense, only having to replace them shortly thereafter with more conventional automated machinery. Second, considering the current level of science and computer technology, what are the theoretical limits of the use of machines in production? In essence, what should be our goals and aspirations? Where should we currently invest our limited resources of time, materials, and money? Third, what are the prospects for an advance in technology, a totally new break-through, which can make possible things now impossible? Should engineers wait on certain applications until scientists have made qualitative progress or should they attempt to do all things using current technology?
Machine intelligence can certainly be used currently for the rapid accomplishment of certain rather complex customized tasks, including physical and electronic designs, which would be nigh impossible even a few years ago for any human individual. These functions would include a plethora of activities from the more general use of supercomputers to handle vast amounts of data to predict the weather to the design of computer chips of the commodity or even the "designer" types.
It is much less certain that scientists and specialists can make machines which can replicate the function of the human mind, an ambition which seems only to recede as the current technology is applied to that elusive goal.
Finally, there is, as always, the concern for the social implications of all these endeavors. Will these efforts finally release mankind from the endless toil and drudgery of the centuries, or will they in some way limit man's options and make machines the masters and man the slave? Will machines make society richer and impoverish individuals, or will every individual gain as society gains? This is an important question which must be answered.
Robots and machine intelligence.
The initial optimism of the past thirty years, when computers and electronics were sophisticated enough to make earlier predictions of working robots plausible, was dashed by the failure of scientists and engineers to replicate the vast complexities of the human mind and body. On the other hand, the attempts have at least defined the problems, organized them into areas of research, and have produced direct, limited, but important results.
The problem has become divided. Now, the machines are expected to do only more specifically defined and highly specialized work. The work may be complex, but it is limited in scope. New jobs require substantial modification and reprogramming of equipment, if it can be modified at all. The question of "intelligence" has been separated from the physical equipment and has for the present time become computer based.
Furthermore, there is a difference between a machine doing the work of an intelligent person and true intelligence. Computers can now defeat all but grandmasters at chess, they can do your income tax from questions you answer, and they can deliver your mail within a building. These specialized programs and machines, however, cannot at the same time deal with life processes. The mail delivery "robot" would continue on its rounds even if an accidental release of poison gas would empty a building of all its occupants. This circumscribed "intelligence" of the robot, consequently, has been dubbed "artificial intelligence," or "specialized intelligence," to distinguish it from true human or "life intelligence," much less "creative intelligence."
Those who have been on the forefront of creating machine intelligence have observed "how easy the 'hard' things were to do, and how hard the 'easy' things." The application of a machine to certain complex tasks, which often may exceed human ability to equal, can be contrasted with the inability of a machine to comprehend a nursery rhyme or to leave a building in case of fire.
AI: Schools of thought.
One of the first groups which dealt with machine intelligence in replicating the activities of the brain took its inspiration from psychology. Herbert Simon and Allen Newell of Carnegie Mellon University, produced in the 1950s a "General Problem Solver" which was based on their perception of how humans think. These ideas were gained through a study of psychology and human intuition. The results of their endeavors, the program which they produced, was quite undependable: it as readily produced quite stupid conclusions as often as brilliant ones. Much work needs to be done if these systems are to be allowed to apply their conclusions without having to be constantly checked, of necessity, by the human mind.
Another approach is represented by the "logicists," those who do not try to deal with psychology but rather limit themselves to the use of traditional, classical logic. Conventional logic falls apart in the superstructure, the line of reasoning, if any of the assumptions on which it is based turn out to be false. This problem, which hindered many efforts at seeking proper conclusions, inspired a new form of "non-monotonic" logic to be developed. It seeks to discover if there is a consistent way for logic to be adjusted, perhaps backward, to reestablish a cogent line of reasoning.
Presently, there are those who may be called the "structuralists," who eschew conventional silicone chips and try to replicate the information-processing style of the brain synapses with specially designed chips. The "connectionists," a sub-family of the "structuralists," are attempting to build interconnected networks of artificial "neurons," on silicon or even with organic materials. While this process has not developed very far, it has intriguing implications. The use of multiple and parallel processors, recently come of age, has furthered these investigations.
AI: Expert Systems.
While earlier enthusiasts hoped to find a general theory of intelligence, today most artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are producing "toolboxes" of problem solving techniques to deal with more discrete problems.
Computers programmed to capture human expertise, to replicate logic and experience, also have significant but limited use. A program to prescribe medicine for bacterial infection may do so better than most physicians, but they cannot distinguish between an infected woman and one in the pains of childbirth. The answer at present, of course, is to have humans work closely with machines to take advantage of the best elements of both, the machine's logic and memory, and the person's "common sense." Rather than replacing people, these expert systems make people of modest intelligence equal, in certain tasks, to those who are brilliant and have vast experience. Thus we see here the seeds of profound changes in the way people work and the potential benefit for society.
Such successes, however, may conceal the fact that machine intelligence is not transferable. If a program is devised to maximize investments in the stock market by the manipulation of futures, it cannot ipso facto be "intelligent" enough to solve problems of another sort. Unlike human intelligence and learning, machine intelligence cannot be easily transferred to new and unexpected tasks.
There has been, however, some unexpected and beneficial fall-outs from some of the major general projects, funded by government and industry, which have failed. Technological breakthroughs, which were intended to be a part of a larger system, have been applied to more mundane, but still useful purposes. A program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which used a supercomputer to work on computer-vision research, has provided the technology which Matsushita uses to stabilize miniature video cameras to minimize the shake when the cameras are held by hand. A simplified form of the MIT developed technology as been compacted into a miniature chip and put to commercial use.
Another program, produced by Ascent Technology to help Delta Airlines allocate landing gates at busy airports, was used by the United States government to help plan the deployment of men and materials in the recent Gulf war.
Other projects which did not work, for example computer-vision, have been transferred to different technologies. While the first research on computer vision was done in terms of robot application, it is now being separated from abstract computer reasoning and is being dealt with more in the realm of electronic signal processing.
Social implications.
The modern production line, which reached its apogee after the turn of the century, was a result of so-called "scientific management" in which the parts of the work were broken down into simple, repetitive steps that could be learned in a few minutes by almost any worker.
Next came "functional management," devised by Alfred Sloan, the creator of General Motors, who separated white-collar workers into various classes according to function, an organization similar to that of the production workers.
These "innovations" made possible the industrial giants of the 20th century (the so-called monopolies and combines), the products of the "iron age" of mass production and mass bureaucracy. At the present time, however, with new technology driven by computer production, downsizing, and product variety, these old mass industries are obsolete. Their rigid and inert bureaucracies and their division between management and workers are no longer suitable to keep up with the rapid changes in products, design and production brought on by the hi-tech era, but rather serve as a braking mechanism to change.
One of the new problems which arises as the responsibility of the individual worker or functionary broadens, is that not all employees have the knowledge or skills to do their work properly or the overview to do their work in harmony with others. It is in this regard that artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play. Even today in many American industries the office worker has by his side a computer with AI into which he feeds certain parameters and is given, in return, advice on how to proceed with his project.
It is an anomaly that the purpose of AI is to break down the human bureaucracy and yet the expert system is in itself inflexible, being made up of thousands or tens of thousands discrete, logical propositions to serve the literal-mindedness of the computer. The amount of detail which is required to satisfy the needs of the computer has in turn produced a plethora and profusion of rules. One wonders if, after all this investment, companies can afford to change--in the long run--as much as they might like to do as times and products change.
One attempt to overcome this problem has been to attempt to link intuitive related ideas together into "frames," so that the operator can find answers without being too literal and precise. Other attempts are based on allowing expert systems to retract inferences made on its rules, and build new inferences by another route.
To improve expert systems an attempt is being made to use "fuzzy logic," to express rules in terms of weighted, logical probabilities. Another is to use statistical probability. And still another, to solve problems by precedent. Finally, there is an attempt to seek solutions by analogy.
Yet, in the final analysis, the expert system is no more than a rule book, with exceptionally good cross references based on ideas or key words, which can be quickly manipulated through electronics. These systems have the ability to search through billions of possible sequences of moves in order to find the best one.
Any breakthrough in productivity for expert systems would require that machines be able to learn, that is to teach themselves from available internal or shared information, either through concepts, experience, or reason. Little progress, because of conflicting designs, has been made in computers digesting shared information.
The expert system is thus only a partial aid to a skilled individual who, hopefully, is freed from the drudgery of research to apply real human intelligence, common sense and creativity to his job.
A word of warning. Since parsing sentences by machine is an imperfect business, instead of teaching machines the full and varied meaning of words, people are driven to using only words the machine can understand. What this might do to the human creative thought process is anybody's guess.
We are entering a new and unknown world. The introduction of movable-type printing prepared the way for cheap books, newspapers, and mass education. The industrial revolution provided relative plenty, although of little variety, for the masses. The electronic revolution brought the telephone, radio, television and private entertainment into the home. Modern digital technology has provided the basis for variety and new products in such plenty as totally unimagined in the past. What will the age of artificial intelligence bring? Decision-making will be both constrained and expanded by machine technology, with many broad implications.
The immediate challenge for those who want to support commercial applications of machine intelligence on a broader scale is to get computers to understand commands typed in plain, natural languages (English in my case), to read printed or written material and to comprehend it, to under- stand and to obey the spoken word, and to communicate verbally. The more intelligent the machine, the more free it will leave the human spirit; the more constricted, the more it will bend human intelligence to its own limitations. This is the type of revolution which should not be stopped in midstream. Either we go all the way or we suffer the possibility of a new Middle Ages.
Unfulfilled promises.
In the 1960s it was said that the mainframe computer would help productivity by centralizing decision making. It did not. It only gave upper-level management access to more and more information which had to be processed in order to be understood. It also gave power and control over information to those who managed the mainframes.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, it was said that the mini- and micro-computers would help productivity by decentralizing decision-making. It did not. The fragmentation of information had to be, in the later 1980s, brought together through "networks." It remains to be seen what the effect of networks will be. It will certainly give a vast army of individuals access to information heretofore limited in its availability. Unfortunately, it also gives network administrators the ability to monitor the work and activities of individuals as never before. Will all that information really improve decision-making and/or improve the design, production, and distribution cycle or will it, in turn, applies new fetters to the human imagination?
Problems and prospects
The problems we confront are huge and need our attention as we move into the brave new world. The new technology offers mankind a new material wealth heretofore unimagined. How will that wealth be shared between the masters of politics, capital, and technology and the working masses? Will the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, or can we devise new systems of sharing without injuring the human impulses of self-development, personal responsibility, and initiative by providing appropriate incentives?
The masters of the new technology will undoubtedly have a higher intelligence and education than that of the masses. Will the gap between the educated and uneducated grow, or can we encourage every man to reach his own personal potential?
Will the inflexibility of present computers limit human responses? Will our own minds narrow to match the literal-mindedness of the computer, or can we overcome that possibility? Will we be able to master the databases or will they constrict our freedom? Anyone who has tried to have his credit rating corrected in the databases of credit-rating companies, such as TRW, understands this potential for abuse. How will privacy be protected, when our whole lives will be databased from the cradle to the grave?
Will we be able to devise new and flexible arrangements for the organization of labor, or will new computerized bureaucracies replace the old. Once databases become too extensive, they may become a superconservative brake on society: the cost of change may be too high to bear. Will we be able to devise new and flexible organization of management, or will old ways of managing limit our progress into the future. The worst of all possible worlds, in my opinion, would be for mankind to stop in the middle of this most profound revolution. Either we ride it to the end, or its worst features will harness us in a way no previous society, no previous system, and no previous government has ever managed to do. Either there is competition, a built-in mechanism for change, or there may be established a great hinderance to a free, changing, and open society.
But the real problem we confront is several magnitudes of scale even more challenging and difficult. Digital technology and downsizing have produced totally new products and have also vastly improved many older ones. We now have come to depend on xerography, cellular telephones, optical cable, computers, modems, telefaxes, transmission of sounds and visuals by satellites, and digital recording on tape and on diskette. The computer manipulation of sounds and visuals is a rapidly developing current technology. Electronic photography is upon us, and it will not be long before we have interactive (responsive) television and customized books printed directly from an assortment of written materials stored in digital form. Compact disks now place on your desk the amount of written material--encyclopedias, books, journals and articles--that once covered whole walls of libraries.
Even now, in a more profound sense, television defines reality. It has become, in many societies, more real than life. That which is not seen on television is relegated, especially by younger people, to a less-than-full reality. As the electronic storage of text slowly replaces the printed book, all power will go to the databases. If television defines reality, certainly electronic storage of words (books, newspapers, and written records) will define its outer limits. Books and other printed material not in the databases will not exist for most people in the future.
The digital manipulation of sounds, pictures and the written (electronic) word will soon make it impossible for most people to know what is original and unaltered and what is artificial and contrived, or even forged. Photographs can be altered in totally convincing and undetectable ways. The words of television can be altered and replaced by dubbing, a system even now widely used. Taped conversations can be digitally altered or whole new conversations artificially created. Pictures can be created and destroyed, sounds manipulated, and certainly the written (electronic) word can be totally and fundamentally altered. Fundamental reality will fade away in a miasma of electronic impulses, all under the control of the computer masters. George Orwell's 1984 will be upon us in a decade or two.
Furthermore, networks and satellites can tie people together in all parts of the globe, but that only produces a false sense of community. We may be tied together with electronic strings, but we may remain far apart in terms of social cohesion and fundamental human ideology. Will human values be lost? What will become of such traditional abstractions as love, honor, morality, decency, pride, humility, sympathy, responsibility, community spirit, and so forth? These are values which arose in families, extended families, tribes, nations, and through religion and philosophy. How will they survive electronic miasmic reality? Master or slave? What will the new technology be for mankind?

(Updates with history at VMware in sixth paragraph.)
Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc., the world's biggest Internet-search company, named former VMware Inc. Chief Executive Officer Diane Greene to its board, adding a director with experience selling to corporate customers.
Greene, who co-founded data-center software maker VMware, will serve on the audit committee, Mountain View, California- based Google said today in a statement. Greene, who was ousted from VMware in 2008, also serves on the board of finance- software maker Intuit Inc.
"Diane is a special person who combines a sharp business acumen with a brilliant technical mind," Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said in the statement. "We know she will be a great contributor and we are grateful to have her insight."
Google is seeking to sell more business services, part of an effort to expand beyond search-engine advertising -- its main source of revenue. Evidence of making headway in that market came yesterday when Google landed its biggest corporate contract ever. The company will supply e-mail and document services to Spanish Bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA.
Greene, 56, co-founded VMware in 1998 and sold it to storage-computer maker EMC Corp. in 2004. VMware was spun off from EMC in 2007 in an initial public offering, though the parent company maintained a majority ownership.
VMware Departure
VMware pushed out Greene as CEO in July 2008 on the same day it announced that annual sales would fall short of its projections. She was replaced by Paul Maritz, an EMC executive who once worked at Microsoft Corp.
VMware's products help companies' servers run more efficiently by letting them use different operating systems. Greene founded VMware with husband Mendel Rosenblum, who served as chief scientist at the company.
Greene joins nine other board members, including John Doerr, general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; John Hennessy, president of Stanford University; and Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel Corp. Google's CEO, Larry Page, also sits on the board, along with co-founder Sergey Brin.
Google shares rose less than 1 percent to $629.64 in today's trading. The stock climbed 8.7 percent last year.

As it turned out, I neednt have worried. I found myself racing through Mad About the Boy, smiling at the aptness of its observations and frequently laughing aloud. Fieldings comic giftsand, just as important, her almost anthropological ability to nose out all that is trendy and potentially crazy making about contemporary culture, from Twitter (OMG, Lady Gaga has 33 million followers! Complete meltdown. Why am I even bothering? Twitter is giant popularity contest which I am doomed to be the worst at) to online datingare once again on shimmering exhibit. And Bridget, although now a fiftyish single mother who has to deal with putting her two young children, Billy and Mabel, to bed, along with treating their hair for nits, cleaning up vomit, and attending Sports Day school picnics, is still recognizably her ditzy but ultimately unfazable self. Her bevy of friends remain crucial to her well-being, as does her reliance on the self-help canon, which has expanded to include advice on parenting (One, Two, Three Better, Easier Parenting and French Children Dont Throw Food). She continues to record her caloric intake and to fret about her weight: Just surveyed self aghast in mirror. Am starting to look like a heron. My legs and arms have stayed the same, but my whole upper body is like a large bird with a big roll of fat round the middle. Most of all, having won and then lost Mark Darcy (I am being intentionally coy here, to avoid setting off a spoiler alert), she continues her search for the right man, in bed and out.
Although Fieldings warmth encourages an easy intimacy, Im also conscious of the fact that this publicity-shy writerwho tells me that she became unnerved by press interest in the wake of Bridgethas agreed to meet with me only on the condition that I focus on her writing and dont push her for details about her personal life. And indeed, embarrassed as I am to admit it, through much of our dinner she interviews me about my response to her book, which she was still putting final touches on in Augustquite late by publishing standards. Was that character too much of a cliché? How early on did I guess who Bridgets true romantic interest would be? And the sex partswere they overwritten?
The exbook editor in me takes the bait, and Fielding assiduously types my comments into her phone; theres no sign of Bridget-like haphazardness in her approach to her work. Her good friend Carrie Fisher describes her as an incredibly hard worker. Shes a Type A that doesnt seem like a Type A. Her effect is just the opposite: Youd expect her to faint at the sight of blood, but shes in fact going to get the job done.
Later in the evening, when Fielding and I have settled in at the bar for nightcaps, she refers to herself as a magpie, absorbing other peoples ideas from magazines and theories. Although she insists she writes in a disorganized way, going over what shes written the day before, highlighting sentences and ditching the rest, Fielding admits to keeping files of information containing funny things about dating and grooming, among other subjects, with names such as Childrens Thoughts (I think children have an interesting take on things), Cheerful Bits, and Scheduling. She also keeps no fewer than two diaries, a personal one and a topical diary in which she records her reaction to stuff in the news or weather.
Fielding, it emerges, never intended to write a third Bridget book. Since 1999, when she became involved with Kevin Curran, a writer and executive producer for The Simpsons, she has been dividing her time between London and L.A.: I always thought if I were a writer Id have a swimming pool. I bought a place in L.A. and became a writer with a pool. She stopped writing altogether when she and Curran had children (Romy, seven, and Dash, nine); the couple never married (Ive never wanted to marry, she confides, that whole bride outfit) and have since broken up, but remain amicable. Fielding tried her hand at a novel set in her native Yorkshire that had, she says, a horrible portentous tone. I kept coming out with statements . I dumped it. At that point she started something elseand, lo and behold, I realized it was her voice again. It just came. It was a story I wanted to tell.
Which brings me, and anyone whos ever warmed to Bridgets endearing mixture of insecurity and bravado, her way of questioning the things we take for granted while feeling bound to go along with the status quo all the same, to ask the inevitable question: Where does Fielding, who refers to her celebrated creation as her alter ego, leave off and Bridget Jones begin? Are the two more alike than not? Or are they entirely different beings? Its a question thats all the more interesting because Bridget is so specific a character that its hard to believe that shes been invented from whole clothlike Madame Bovary, say. And yet on the other hand the novels have the sort of narrative propulsion that is rare in autobiographically conceived fiction, not to mention an unsolipsistic worldview (for all of Bridgets fussing over herself) that invites broad reader identification.

Below is the first trailer for Ben Affleck's forthcoming directorial project Argo. Although it might be more accurate to say, the first three trailers for Affleck's Argo, because when you watch the video, you get a thriller, a comedy, and a heavy political drama. Here's a quick rundown:
Beginning of Trailer - 1:00 Mark: Espionage Thriller
This is likely the sort of movie you expected when you heard about Affleck's plans to direct Argo. Affleck and his team of government agents collaborate on a high-intensity heist of sorts; a plan to free fellow Americans from Iran before they are executed. Stakes, tension and adrenaline are all high. Affleck's past project The Town comes to mind.
1:00 Mark - 1:30 Mark: Industry Comedy
The first twist — and easily the most surprising and enjoyable segment of the trailer. This is where Mendez's (Affleck) plan is introduced: pass the trapped Americans off as a filmmaking team (as opposed to a group of government agents) in order to trick the Iranian government into freeing them. In order to do this, the agency needs to immerse itself in Hollywood. The industry in-jokes commence, as does the general feel of a Coen Brothers comedy. And one done pretty well!
1:30 Mark - End of Trailer: Political Drama
Another table-turner, and a less welcome (though understandably necessary) one. The trailer's gravity spikes. Suddenly, this isn't a fun, quirky rescue mission. It's a political statement. It's a do-or-die, greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts testament to the value of human life, and a lens pointed at the injustices in the world. The term "Oscar bait" comes to mind.
Check out the below trailer, and let us know which kind of movie you want Argo to be.

Tuatara, the instrumental rock project led by Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin, will put out Underworld this year, a 20-song double album, their first record in six years. Peter Buck and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready both play throughout the album, and you can hear its first single now: "The Skeleton Getdown." It's a smooth, jazzy track that really gives you an idea what Martin means when he says the record was inspired by Miles Davis' On The Corner. Listen below.
(via Billboard)
Underworld is out this August via Sunyata Records.

WASHINGTON—The political pitch to raise the credit union member business lending cap are claims that doing so will spur job growth. According to credit union executives that attended this year's Governmental Affairs Conference, that claim is more than just wishful thinking.
WASHINGTON—No issue at this year's GAC was more polarizing than the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Speakers, particularly politicians, were either completely against it or completely for it, depending upon which party they represented.
WASHINGTON—"We have done many things well, some less so," said Mark Meyer, CEO of Filene Research, in what was the closing general session talk at CUNA's GAC conference.
Here are images from Wednesday's final day session at the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.
WASHINGTON — When Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) retires after this current Congressional session, credit unions will gain "the best friend they've ever had" in the House.
CUNA, NAFCU spread donations across parties, chambers.
Even if the Republicans keep control of the House next year, the House Financial Services Committee is likely to have a new chairman.
Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) will apear at the March 18-22 conference in Washington, D.C.
Democratic House members won't pick a successor to retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) in the top spot on the House Financial Services Committee for a year, and it's far from a sure thing that the member next in line, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), will get the nod.
Credit unions have a lot to feel good about, and this time of year makes it easier to recognize even when times are tough in general. Credit unions are beginning to distribute member dividends and new membership signups are rolling in at a pace credit unions have not experienced in...

OracleBFile::Null Field
Represents a null OracleBFile object that is not bound to a physical file.
Namespace: System.Data.OracleClient
Assembly: System.Data.OracleClient (in System.Data.OracleClient.dll)
Null can be useful when you want to perform a comparison operation on an OracleBFile to determine nullability.
Any attempt to perform a read operation on a Null object succeeds, but does not return any data. Any attempt to perform a write operation on a Null object generates an exception. Selecting a BFILE column that contains a null value returns Null.

A little later than I predicted, but yesterday the Senate passed S 3454, the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2013. There was a short speech by Sen. Feinstein about the bill, but that was the limit of the debate. Also as predicted, there was no vote. The final version of the bill did contain the cyber supply-chain security provision I previously discussed.

1 Answer
Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, December 30, 2009, 17:55Master
It is generally on the end of the upper radiator hose, where it attaches to the cylinder head. There will be a metal housing with a few bolts, remove the housing and the thermostat is under the housing.

Russian energy giant Gazprom will cut gas supplies to Ukraine if Kiev fails to make the prepayment for May, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday.
He said Ukraine may not be able to store enough gas this summer for transit to European countries for the winter.

- Ukraine Bailout: Despite What Christine Lagarde's Claims, the IMF Still Does Structural Reform
- What is the IMF Small Print for $17bn Ukraine Bailout?
- What Russia's Vladimir Putin Wants in Ukraine
- Can Russia Really go it Alone?
- Will Russia Actually Turn off the Gas?
"If that invoice will not be paid for June by the 31 May, Gazprom will actually have the possibility... to restrict the supplies of gas to Ukraine or to guarantee the supply of gas only in the volumes for which the invoice will be paid," he told reporters, following trilateral talks with Ukraine and the European Union.
The interim government in Kiev has been embroiled in a dispute with Gazprom after the Russian company nearly doubled the price it charges Kiev for gas and demanded immediate payment of $2.2bn in outstanding gas bills.
Previous disputes between the neighbours led to Moscow cutting gas supplies to Ukraine in the winters of 2006 and 2009.
The restriction led to a shortage in supplies in Ukraine and a number of European countries that receive gas from Russia via Ukrainian pipelines.
Since those crises, European countries have sought to diversify their energy sources but the EU still relies on Russia for around a third of its gas needs, 40% of which comes via Ukraine.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College softball team (5-24, 3-11) will host BIG EAST opponent Georgetown (22-20, 8-7), on Saturday, April 26 (double header) and Sunday, April 27 (single game) at Raymond Field.
Saturday's game will be the team's Alumni Day, and the 1994 BIG EAST Championship Team will be honored prior to the start of the game. The 1994 team recorded the most wins in school history, with 38, and gained Providence's only BIG EAST Championship and NCAA Tournament bid.
Former Friar player and coach, Jen Finley, will throw out the first pitch with the contest set to begin at noon. Finley was the head coach of the Friars for the 1994 and 1995 seasons and has the highest winning percentage at Providence. Finley graduated from Providence in 1992 and was a standout two-sport athlete who earned Northeast Region All-America honors as a member of both the softball and field hockey teams. Finley returned to Providence in 1994, as the nation's youngest head coach and guided Providence to a school-record 38 wins and it's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
Sunday will be the Friars' Senior Day and seniors Kasey Bulman (Farmingdale, N.J.), Kaitlyn Duval (Shrewsbury, Mass.) and Marie Flego (Little Silver, N.J.) will be honored in a pregame ceremony. The first pitch for Sunday will be at noon.
Sophomore Kiki Baldassari (Denville, N.J.) leads Providence with 31 hits on the year and 10 stolen bases. Junior Kristie Dederick (Camarillo, Calif.) adds 24 hits on the season. The junior hit two home runs last weekend in the series against Villanova. Freshman McKall Miller (Ashburn, Va.) leads the team with 13 RBI and six home runs. Sophomore Danielle Deraney (Shrewsbury, Mass.) leads the team in batting average at .353.
Freshman Taylor Huntly (Las Vegas, Nev.) has made 21 pitching appearances for 113.1 innings and has a 4.37 ERA. She has fanned 59 batters on the year. Sophomore Kiara Amos (Malden, Mass.) has recorded 47 strikeouts in 62.1 innings pitched.
The Hoyas are led by Megan Hyson, who has a .407 batting average to go along with a team-best 48 hits and 32 RBI. Hyson is currently first in the BIG EAST in on-base percentage (.514) and third in batting average and slugging percentage (.703). Elyse Graziano has speed on the base paths with 15 stolen bases (second in the BIG EAST) and boasts a .313 batting average.
Hyson also leads the Georgetown pitching staff with a 2.49 ERA in 149.0 innings pitched. She has struck out 167 batters on the season in 27 appearances. Lauren O'Leary has also seen significant time on the mound, appearing in 25 games (123.0 innings). O'Leary has a 3.81 ERA and 79 strikeouts.
After the weekend series the Friars host non-conference Boston College in their last home game of the season on Tuesday, April 29 at Raymond Field. The start time for the game is set for 4:00 p.m.
