Assume that I am defining a button or text view width as 100 dip and height as 30 dip in XML file. As for As I know, Android itself take care of that button or text view appearance proportionate or same among ldpi, mdpi or hdpi devices as I defined dimension in dip. This is one of the recommendations, if you want to provide multi screen support. My Question is does dip is only useful in handling ldpi,mdpi or hdpi devices with same width and height means all 320X480 or all 400X840 like that or is it also support across multi screen dimensions means If I define a button with 100X30 dip for 320X480 device, after adding all screen support true in manifest file, android system it self will recalculate the widget size to some 200X60 dip to 700X1024 device.
If dip does n't work across multiple screen sizes(if device physical sizes are different) then I need to write sepearte layout file for each devices where I can't define my complex layouts with Linear Layouts with some weights, correct me if I wrong. Are there any alternatives, suggest me. Thanks In Advance.

Latest Headlines
Teva wins Copaxone SCOTUS appeal, but its patent battle won't stop there
Teva finally has the Supreme Court Copaxone patent battle victory it's been waiting for--but that doesn't mean its legal journey is over.
Teva continues to whittle down manufacturing network
Teva Pharmaceuticals has cut $650 million in costs this year but needs to more than double that over the next two as it faces generic competition to its workhorse multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone. A big part of that will be to continue revamping its production network, CEO Erez Vigodman says.
Teva sets 2015 sales forecast up to $1B lower than analysts expected
Don't be surprised if Teva's revenue numbers don't meet analysts' expectations in 2015. According to the company's forecasts, generic competition to top-seller Copaxone and foreign currency hits will take their toll on Teva's top line next year.
Long-acting Copaxone to launch early next year in Europe, Teva says
Teva has already surprised analysts with the success it's had converting patients from multiple sclerosis star Copaxone to a new, long-acting version. And now, the company is preparing to take the med to Europe.
Copaxone, still growing, helps Teva pass Q3 estimates
Sales of Teva's multiple sclerosis drug, Copaxone, are still growing--at least for now. The Israeli company's top-seller, whose patent is currently the subject of a Supreme Court appeal, ticked up 5% to reach $1.1 billion in Q3 sales.
If Teva wanted a clear sign from Supreme Court on Copaxone, no such luck
Teva's been waiting a long time to get its Copaxone patent appeal before the Supreme Court. And now that the court has heard oral arguments, it seems to be divided on the issue.
Mylan, Momenta, Sandoz join assault on Teva's new-and-improved Copaxone
After trying nearly everything in its power to protect lead product Copaxone from early generic competition, Teva just received some news it least wants to hear: Copycats are going after its new, long-acting version of the drug, too.
Teva eyes 'hard switch' to hit Copaxone goals if the soft sell isn't enough
Teva's long-acting version of multiple sclerosis treatment Copaxone has surpassed most analysts' expectations. But as competition to the original looms, will Teva consider discontinuing off-patent Copaxone to push patients toward the protected version in a quest to maintain market share? The short answer: Yes, but not just yet.
Teva trots out genetics in new petition against Copaxone copies
Teva just won't give up on delaying generic Copaxone. Its latest tactic: filing a citizen petition with the FDA to once again push for full-scale, placebo-controlled clinical trials for all copies of its multiple sclerosis med.
UPDATED: In management reorg, Teva taps Actavis alum to helm new global generics unit
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries CEO Erez Vigodman has been a busy man. So busy, in fact, it seems the company's press releases barely keep up with him. Today's announcement: Vigodman has overhauled Teva's management structure, winnowing out 6 executive jobs and creating two worldwide divisions. And he recruited a pharma-industry vet to take the helm of one of them.

Prep Blog: None Of The Local "Big 3" Chooses Gophers
It's a unique time for boys high school basketball in Minnesota as the in-state talent seems to get more elite every year.

Prep Blog: Holidays Mean Plethora Of Tournaments

" so in 20 years for the fatalities to be shocking again are they gonna add a pregnant Alma from the FEAR series as a fighter? being shocking just to be shocking is boring. and major yawn at the art direction and same looking animations as all the other MK games. It just looks like they gave the engine a facelift. I wish they would have done something cool likechanging the art design that happened in SFIV. "I think the shocking part of the new Mortal Kombat is they are trying to make it good again.
Warskull's comments
From the beta and free weekend, the game is interesting. It is a real pity it is being published by Ubisoft. The develop did a good job, the publisher is completely failing them. Their obnoxious DRM scheme combined with their poor promotion of the game has pretty much doomed it. Most people are going to be too busy going nuts over SC2 or Civ5 to even bother paying attention.
" I hate to say this, but it seems Jeff just "doesn't get it." This is the lovechild of Castlevania and Diablo. If that sounds like your sort of thing, then buy it right now! "To be fair, I would say most people don't get it. Especially with the complaints that "multiplayer ruined it." It isn't meant to be Symphony of the Night, it is more MMO raiding meets Castlevania gameplay.
They got some really heavy hitters in this line-up. Monday Night combat looks to be pretty good, a new Castlevania with co-op, and the Tomb Raider reinvention (go find some gameplay trailers, it looks surprisingly good.) That was a pretty amazing year, but this year just might top it.
" Now that I've seen and heard about Monday Night Combat, I'm pretty interested in that as well. I'm also more interested in Lara Croft now! Looks like another solid lineup. It's going to be tough to top Shadow Complex, Splosion Man, Trials HD, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. We'll just forget TMNT: Re-Shelled, folks.

" Ok so the Guys who made the G:I Joe Game and a Developer who has no experience in Shooters whatsoever are turning a successful TBS Series into an ''accessible'' Third Person Shooter? I can't see anything wrong with this Picture. "My thoughts exactly, Double Helix has a history of making mediocre and bad games. Square doesn't really make action games. I'm not adverse to the concept of an action oriented Front Mission, but the studio behind it makes me doubt it will be any good. I find studios with a history of bad games continue to make bad and mediocre games.
" I totally fucking knew this would get 3/5! I can't wait to see people bitchin' all over that score and not even reading the review. Which is great as ever. "I think all but the most insane fanboys recognize this game has some issues. The biggest thing has to be the corridors, which Brad is dead on about. It just doesn't feel much like a Final Fantasy game until you hit disc 3. Until then you are basically walking along a rather narrow predetermined path with zero room for exploration and cannot set your own party. It feels like disc 1-2 are an extremely long and dull tutorial to the game. I have a feeling that if this game was released under any other name it would have flopped.

Because other than the RUSE stuff, there's not much difference yet between this and Company of Heroes...other than Company of Heroes being thorough, pedigree badassness. "The beta on steam is only 2 gigs, download it and try it out. It actually does play differently than most RTS games. Most RTS games have a heavy focus on micro, RUSE on the other hand seems to have an extremely low micro requirement and is much more strategic in nature. Its got a pretty simple interface and a fairly basic premise, so it is easy to learn. Taking and holding strategic positions seems to be a big part of the game too.
" I hated the first STALKER. And this game looks exactly like the first STALKER. "If you hated the first STALKER, you probably won't like this one either. People who liked the first one will probably like this one.
STALKER has always been a unique experience. It is all about the atmosphere. What is difficult to see in the quick look is that the world can be downright creepy and tense at times. The game will really put you on edge at times.

Nenko System
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2007)
The seniority-wage system (年功序列 Nenkō joretsu?) is the Japanese system of promoting an employee in order of his or her proximity to retirement. The advantage of the system is that it allows older employees to achieve a higher salary level before retirement and that it usually brings more experience to the executive ranks. The disadvantage of the system is that it does not allow new talent to be merged with the experience and those with specialized skills cannot be promoted to the already crowded executive ranks. It also does not guarantee or even attempt to bring the "right person for the right job". The labor turnover rate in Japan is less than half the US level. The seniority-wage system can also be seen in Japanese government. Japanese parliament seats are usually filled with the older members from each party.
After the economic bubble burst in Japan in the late 80s and the venture capital (dot-com) shock of the 90s, the seniority-wage system has become less popular amongst business as they could not afford to keep older employees with high salaries on the payroll. Many mid-level executives that climbed the corporate ladder with the Nenko system fell victim to corporate restructuring. Without knowing how to compete for a high wage position unlike the younger talents, in the 21st century, the seniority-wage system is seen as a decadent system that has spoiled the older generations.[citation needed]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Lawyers obliged to report misconduct -- but they didn't
The Canadian Judicial Council inquiry into the actions of Manitoba Associate Chief Justice Lori Douglas is, as everyone knows, a sordid affair.
Douglas has been enveloped in controversy every since it was learned her husband, Jack King, not only posted nude photos of his wife online, but attempted to coerce a client, Alex Chapman, into having sex with Douglas. Chapman later received a $25,000 out-of-court settlement. In 2010, Chapman violated a non-disclosure agreement, went public with his sexual harassment allegations and filed a complaint with the Law Society of Manitoba. All of this convinced the CJC to investigate.
The council is concerned about whether Douglas participated in the harassment, whether she properly disclosed the fact King posted nude photos of her on a porn website, and whether the mere existence of the photos make her unfit to serve as a judge.
It should be noted Douglas is widely respected for her work as a judge, and there are more than a few people in this city who believe she is getting a raw deal by even having to go through an inquiry. They believe many within the legal profession knew about the photos, and thus Douglas could not be influenced by them at a later date. Those people argue the CJC inquiry is less about her suitability as a judge and more about a profession desperately trying to cover its posterior.
Perhaps. At the very least, it's pretty clear now that if you somehow get past the nude photos, the voyeurism, the sexual harassment and the cast of inglorious characters, you might conclude this is really about a self-regulated profession that has, in so many ways, demonstrated its inability to self-regulate.
For example, all lawyers in this province are obligated to report misconduct by another lawyer to the Law Society of Manitoba. It is, simply put, one of the pillars of self-regulation. Even so, lawyers at the century-old Thomson Dorfman Sweatman firm kept King's misdeeds under wraps. There was no complaint filed with the law society, which allowed King to disappear under the guise of a medical leave. There is no way to know if formal action against King would have allowed Douglas to seek a judicial appointment without encumbrance, but we do know the firm failed miserably in its duty to the profession.
The law society itself is also culpable. Officials at the law society have admitted knowing about the harassment claims as early as 2004, but failed to act until 2010, when Chapman came forward with his complaint. The law society can initiate an investigation on its own, without a complaint from a third party, because like all its members, it has a responsibility to act when it receives information about a professional transgression. As was the case with Thomson Dorfman Sweatman, the law society failed miserably.
And then there is the committee that vetted Douglas' judicial application. One member of that committee has already testified at the inquiry he not only knew about the photos, the harassment and the hush settlement, but he ensured then-Justice Minister Irwin Cotler knew before a final decision was made on Douglas' judicial application. On the one hand, it appears some, if not all, of the members of that committee demonstrated tremendous compassion by giving Douglas the benefit of the doubt and not denying her a place on the bench purely because of her husband's tawdry hobby. On the other hand, perhaps this wasn't compassion. Perhaps it was a few members of the legal profession cutting special deals for special friends.
Like King, Douglas had a stellar career at Thomson Dorfman Sweatman, one of a handful of iconic firms that dominate the inner workings of Manitoba's legal profession. These firms control most of the committees at the Manitoba Bar Association and the Law Society of Manitoba. They are more likely to sit on judicial vetting committees. Perhaps it's just the cattiness of the legal profession, but there are many lawyers in this town who believe that, just as everyone was willing to look the other way when King got in trouble, an applicant with Douglas's baggage who came from a smaller firm would not have seen as much "compassion."
In testimony at the inquiry, King and others have portrayed Douglas as the unwitting victim of a sexual fetish, aware of neither King's intention to post lewd photos on the web nor King's attempt to recruit Chapman as a sexual partner. It's a reasonable conclusion, but it does not satisfy.
Despite professional guidelines to the contrary, some lawyers in this city seem to have covered up the ethical misdeeds of one of their own. When the law society learned of those misdeeds on its own, it did nothing. And then, in a desperate bid to mitigate an inherent injustice, another group of lawyers decided to overlook Douglas's vulnerabilities and promote her to a position of judicial authority.
Douglas may indeed be the victim. But it was a team effort, with the perverse culture of the legal profession and her misguided husband working in concert, to inflict what may be fatal wounds to a once-promising legal career.

HBT's Trade Deadline Wrapup
Jul 31, 2013, 4:58 PM EDT
The non-waiver trade deadline hit at 4PM EDT today. It was pretty uneventful compared to years past, with lots of chatter but very few deals. Here's what we had go down today before the non-waiver trade deadline:
- The Dodgers acquired Drew Butera from the Twins for a player to be named;
- The Orioles receive Bud Norris in exchange for outfielder L.J. Hoes and pitcher Josh Hader;
- The Royals acquired outfielder Justin Maxwell from the Astros in exchange for right-hander Kyle Smith;
- The Padres acquired starter Ian Kennedy from the Diamondbacks in exchange for reliever Joe Thatcher, right-hander Matt Stiles and the Padres' post-second round competitive balance pick in the 2014 draft.
Before today, we had the following in the two weeks leading up to the deadline:
- Jake Peavy going from the White Sox to the Red Sox, Jose Iglesias going from the Red Sox to the Tigers and Avisail Garcia going from the Tigers to the White Sox;
- The Cardinals trading Marc Rzepczynski to the Indians for minor league infielder Juan Herrera;
- The Angels traded infielder Alberto Callaspo from the Angels for second base prospect Grant Green;
- The Astros traded Jose Veras to Detroit for outfield prospect Danry Vasquez and a player to be named later;
- The Braves acquired reliever Scott Downs from the Angels for Cory Rasmus;
- The Rays acquired reliever Jesse Crain from the White Sox for future considerations;
- Alfonso Soriano traded from the Cubs to the Yankees for pitching prospect Corey Black;
- The Brewers sent reliever Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez to the Orioles for infielder Nick Delmonico;
- The Cubs sent Matt Garza to the Rangers for Triple-A third base prospect Mike Olt, Single-A pitching prospect C.J. Edwards, MLB right-hander Justin Grimm, and a player to be named later;
Not the most active deadline in recent memory. There are reasons for this. The second wild card and greater overall parity in baseball puts more teams in the mindset of contenders, leading to a profound lack of teams selling off parts wholesale. The Cubs did it. The Astros. That's pretty much it.
Also limiting trades: the lack of teams unloading players who are poised for free agency in cost-savings moves. Teams are locking up their talent earlier and earlier these days, meaning fewer cost-avoidance deals. Teams also have more money thanks to escalating TV contracts. All of this makes for a much less liquid trading market than we're used to seeing.
That doesn't mean the deals are done, of course. Between now and the end of August teams can still complete trades of players who have cleared waivers. Trades of any kind which are completed before August 31 will allow the player in question to appear on a team's postseason roster.
No matter how the trades come, however, keep a tab open with HBT at all times, as we'll give you everything you need to know of the comings and goings of players along with our usual wall-to-wall baseball coverage.

I suppose it's no surprise that hopeful entrepreneurs are good targets. Too often we're led to believe that getting investment money is the ultimate victory. Supposedly we're all going to be successful as soon as some investor says "yes" and we get a big check. And that eagerness to get the money makes us vulnerable to sharks. ...
This is my latest column in the Blue Chip magazine at the Eugene Register Guard...
It's hard sometimes not to be a skeptic. The Internet today is riddled with endless surveys and data along with headlining results. Who can we trust? What do we believe?
One of these days I'm going to start a new consulting company based on the sad truth that in today's world a good search turns up nice-looking data to prove just about anything
A while back I read the following on a post on Forbes.com:
"A UK study found that over 50 percent of social media users evaluated their participation in social networking as having an overall negative effect on their lives. Specifically, they singled out the blow to their self-esteem that comes from comparing themselves to peers on Facebook and Twitter as the biggest downfall."
In defense of the author of that post, she's obviously making fun, going on to say that there's bad behavior in social media that will make your blood pressure rise.
She was joking, but the study wasn't. And seriously: When something starts with "A study found that …" do you pay attention?
I used to, back before the Internet, when information was hard to find. These days I don't have the same respect for "a study found" because there are studies to find anything you want to say. No matter how preposterous.
Take the post I found on the blog Mashable.com by David Mielach of BusinessNewsDaily called "Can Facebook Make You Fat and Poor?"
The post says researchers found that social media users were more likely to binge eat and have a higher body-mass index. Frequent Facebook users also were more likely to have certain financial problems, including a lower credit score and higher levels of debt.
But wait. It says the research was based on the responses of 541 Facebook users in the United States. So what does it really mean?
First, who makes up the sample? Is it Facebook users or Facebook users who answer surveys? Those are different sets of people. Is it balanced for age, demographics, technology, geography?
Maybe the people who answer surveys on Facebook have less self control — that's why they took their time to answer the survey. And maybe people who answer surveys have less money because they waste their time answering surveys. Maybe they are just younger, on average, and that causes the money difference. And maybe they lie to surveys.
So maybe what it really shows isn't about Facebook users but rather about people who answer surveys.
Then there is that whole issue of causation and correlation: Could we just as easily say living in a large house makes you rich, or attending college makes you young? That's as logical as saying Facebook users have less self control and less money. Right?
Here's a direct quote from the research:
"These results are concerning given the increased time people spend using social networks, as well as the worldwide proliferation of access to social networks anywhere, anytime via smartphones and other gadgets. Given that self-control is important for maintaining social order and personal well-being, this subtle effect could have widespread impact."
So now it's "widespread impact." Wow.
I'm not saying that information is bad. Misinformation is. I'm not saying that research is bad. Believing it is. Letting "research" end the discussion and trump common sense is bad.
Question the research, question the assumptions, look through it, and then take what's valuable in it. Never just believe it.
Whether we want our news crowdsourced, or not, I don't think we have a choice. The steady onslaught of rapid information via the new technologies – digital, social media, et.

So you — or your kid — are bored in school, not doing well? School is hard? Grades not very good? Nowadays you have an instant escape route. Forget college. Why study? Why work at school? Why pay for an education when you can go straight to entrepreneurship? Schools can't teach entrepreneurship anyhow. Steve Jobs dropped out. Bill Gates dropped out. Mark Zuckerberg dropped out.
"Why should I bother to go to college if I want to do my own business?"
I hate that question, but I get it a lot. It's wrong for so many reasons that it's hard to list them all. But here are the two biggest, and most dangerous, myths about education and entrepreneurship.
Myth 1: The value of education is earning power.
The biggest fallacy in this area is the idea that anybody can measure the value of education in dollars. Education elevates life with ideas, with understanding how to learn and what's important, with a sense of how to analyze and digest information, and by providing practice in learning and communicating. Education changes a person for the better.
If the liberal arts major earns no more than the skilled crafts person, does that make the degree in literature, psychology or history worthless? I don't think so. I leave that one up to you.
Myth 2: Entrepreneurs are born, not taught
Hogwash. People are all different, entrepreneurs are all different, and any one person's ability to jump into entrepreneurship and take risks is different from all others. Success is always a mix of talent, work, practice, luck, experience, and knowledge. There are some things that can be taught in school, and some that can't. The great artists are mostly a mix of talent and hard work. Some of the great entrepreneurs didn't finish college, but the vast majority of successful entrepreneurs did.
I know, from personal experience, that some elements of entrepreneurship can be taught in a classroom. For example, cash flow, financial analysis, principles of marketing and techniques for product development are skill sets you can acquire outside of a classroom; but learning in a class accelerates the process.
I also know that some success factors are hard to teach in class. Making decisions, leadership, understanding what somebody else is feeling, for example. There are some techniques that can be taught, and sometimes those techniques help. But you can learn these things in the world, in the school of hard knocks.
Yeah, sure, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg are successful college dropouts. But none of them ever made that his secret sauce; the college dropout thing just happened. Bill Gates regrets dropping out of college. Steve Jobs hung around Reed College for the education, even after he dropped out. And Zuckerberg? OK he had a tiger by the tail, who can blame him? But does he go around bragging about it?
In actual life you can't always walk downhill. Sometimes you have to go uphill. If you don't, you miss a lot.
Baby turtles will walk only downhill after they break out of their shells, and they either find water or die. Humans need to walk uphill sometimes. Life takes work. You have to be able to bear down during the crunch times. And knowing how to read, write, add and subtract is the actual daily stuff of the entrepreneur as much as it is anybody else.
Take a look at the Kaufman Foundation's Education and Tech Entrepreneurship report, and you'll see that in the cream of the entrepreneurship crop, successful founders are likely to be well-educated.
Conclusion: You decide.
For every self-made genius drop-out like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs there are a few million people stymied as adults because they didn't stick with their education, didn't do the uphill portions of it, when they were kids.
Education is something some people have to forgo because of hard circumstances — struggling families, poverty, true disability — and that is a damned shame. Let's solve that problem. And let's not confuse their misfortune with the general rule that entrepreneurs armed with education are more likely to succeed than those who aren't. And that educated humans are better off in their whole lives for having had the luxury of learning to read, write, calculate, evaluate, analyze and enjoy.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. So said Mark Twain, in an observation frequently applied to the stock market. That's why things arrive at the same spot by different paths, or why things that look like they should be the same aren't. It's also why the market can be full of hazards and opportunities at the same time.
Discerning the strengths and weaknesses of companies that make up the stock market is the job of a fund manager. Andrew Peck, 44, who runs the Baron Asset Fund (ticker: BARAX), is a particularly perceptive one. In 2013, his fund returned 38.88%, besting both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index. Peck believes the coming year again will play to his fund's strengths. Even if they rise, interest rates remain low, flows into equities (for now) are positive, market multiples have room to expand, and Washington is making progress on budget issues. In this environment, "a long-term fundamental investor like we are can find great growth companies and watch them compound," he says.
Peck is looking for high-quality mid-cap companies with sustainable competitive advantages that his fund can own for five-to-10 years. Peter Murphy for Barron's
Similar to all the managers at the firm run by investor Ron Baron, Peck looks for companies he can own for five to 10 years that have growing market opportunities, with sustainable competitive advantages–say, unique assets such as Vail Resorts MTN 2.9566948730711795% Vail Resorts Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD103.42 2.97 2.9566948730711795% /Date(1427835867337-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 423856 AFTER HOURS USD103.42 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4232 P/E Ratio 39.776923076923076 Market Cap 3651056051.33972 Dividend Yield 2.4076580932121447% Rev. per Employee 284475 More quote details and news » [MTN], which owns thousands of acres in the Rockies, or a benign regulatory framework. These companies must have recurring revenue streams visible well into the future, and an ability to raise prices and convert strong free cash flows into earnings. At some point, they should also return capital to shareholders. Since he owns a stock for so long—the fund's annual turnover is 16%–Peck regards himself as a partner to management. He has to like and trust them, and they must have personal financial stakes that make him confident they won't fritter his money away. Baron Asset Fund is one of the firm's mid-cap offerings, though holdings like Wynn Resorts wynn -1.2396045818295935% Wynn Resorts Ltd.

IDEXX is a leading provider of testing and diagnostic services to veterinarians. Today, it trades for $122.68. More gains lie ahead, according to Peck.
PECK HAS LIVED MOST OF HIS LIFE in New York City, where his father was a corporate lawyer and his mother a homemaker. He studied diplomatic history at Yale University, graduating magna cum laude. While working as an underling in Salomon Brothers' equity capital markets division, he realized that investment managers were the people who decided how capital should be allocated. Not long afterward, he decided to apply to Stanford, where he gained both a law degree and an M.B.A.
During Peck's time at Stanford, in 1997, a teacher at Horace Mann, a New York private school Ron Baron's children were attending, called the money manager. "A young man is going to apply for a job with you. He's the smartest and best student we've had," the teacher said. Baron offered Peck a summer internship. When Peck graduated, Baron hired him.
It's worked out well for Peck. He wanted "to learn at the knee of a well-regarded person," and Baron is a successful money manager who started out analyzing stocks for legendary investors including George Soros and Julian Robertson. Peck also "had the luxury of starting at an exciting time. I was very quickly able to look at a wide range of ideas," he says. He quickly learned to think about stocks as businesses, "not just pieces of paper to be bought and sold at a particular price." The firm grew and grew. In 2003, Peck became co-manager of Baron Asset Fund with his boss. By 2008, Baron stepped down and Peck became sole manager.
Not all has gone his way. From 2004 to 2008, the fund posted strong returns, then dropped to the bottom rung of performance in 2009 and 2010 as companies with balance sheet and liquidity problems–the kinds of stocks he avoided–did best. But from 2012 on, performance improved sharply. Even if rates rise, the sorts of high quality companies he buys–with strong earnings growth–should do well.

Peck found IDEXX at a conference, where he went to hear a presentation by Jonathan Ayers, its CEO who happened to be a fellow Yale graduate. Animals, after all, weren't affected by Obamacare. Moreover, IDEXX's market appeared to be growing, thanks to empty nesters and singles delaying marriage who wanted pets. The veterinary market is completely private and unregulated, he thought. And the company had substantial competitive advantages. IDEXX sold veterinary instruments and the consumables, or accessories, that go with them. Some 85% of revenues are recurring, producing a 70% margin. Today, revenues are poised to "accelerate meaningfully." Earnings probably clocked in at $3.58 a share for 2013, and could double, to $7, by 2017. All things being equal, that means the stock could double to $226 in a couple of years.
Another favorite that fits Peck's fondness for companies with proprietary data, is Gartner it -0.4156769596199525% Gartner Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD83.85 -0.35 -0.4156769596199525% /Date(1427835951376-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 378270 AFTER HOURS USD83.85 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26523 P/E Ratio 40.90243902439025 Market Cap 7369352400.14037 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 299118 More quote details and news » (IT), a leading provider of IT research and analytics, which helps clients formulate their IT purchasing strategy. It's likely to grow more popular as tech grows "more pervasive and complex," even if corporate resources for IT don't expand. Gartner sells subscriptions to its products for $28,000 a year, Peck says. It has a 98% client retention rate and is able to push through 3% to 6% price increases each year—even during recession. "Selling data makes the incremental margins very high," he says. Research accounts for 70% to 80% of the business. It's also buying back shares. Since 2004, the company has retired 26% of its stock. Peck sees earnings zooming to $4.65 a share in 2017 from $1.93 in the year just ended.
With all his experience, there are still plenty of lessons to learn. "The big challenge for me and our firm as long-term relative-growth investors is to determine when a company is cyclically, and not secularly, challenged. If you're lucky enough to find a unique, differentiated company, remember that no business grows in a straight line, and ride your winners."

"You already have a follow-up listed with the same subject. If you didn't see your message listed, you probably need to reload the page.

Which although it makes no sense to me I have always successfully addressed by changing its title and resubmitting. But last time I still got the same error message so was unable to post further to that thread. Is the title not the subject line
This is an older style forum which none of us has a way of altering its setup nor are there really any explanation pages. We just go with what is and don't get too carried away with they "why's" of the forum. It just is.

Fergie's new autobiography: A good read
Perfect Game Staff
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Ferguson Jenkins gave his entire $8,000 signing bonus to his parents in 1962 so they could pay off the mortgage on their home. He ran into discrimination and racial prejudice during his minor league career in Florida and Arkansas with the Phillies, a stark contrast to his enlightened upbringing in Canada. And he suffered extreme personal tragedies during his life, including the loss of his first wife and a 3-year-old child.
Those are some of the things you'll learn about Jenkins in his new autobiography: "Fergie, My Life From The Cubs to Copperstown." It's a good read and well worth the time and effort.
You'll learn about Fergie's Hall of Fame career, during which he compiled a record of 284-226 from 1965 to 1983 with a career ERA of 3.34. He won 20 or more games with the Cubs for six straight years from 1967 through 1972, then won 25 games for the Texas Rangers in 1974 after the Cubs traded him away following a 14-16 mark in 1973.
Jenkins offers an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the minor leagues, winter ball in foreign countries, and major-league baseball in Philadelphia, Chicago, Texas and Boston. You'll learn more about the 1969 Cubs and their disappointing loss to the Mets that year, and what it was like playing for Leo "The Lip" Durocher.
Jenkins, 66, is still active in baseball circles as a speaker and fundraiser. He makes numerous appearances for charitable events and estimates that he's signed more than one million autographs during his lifetime.
You don't have to be a Cubs fan to enjoy "Fergie." In fact, you don't even have to be a baseball fan. It's an interesting book about an interesting man.

The things we know so far, is that the device is dual-core 1Ghz cortex-A9, armv7 architecture using OMAP4 platform. On top of it runs a QNX linux that uses Adobe air sdk for application.
Its possible to set the device into Development Mode in the security settings, and use the 'blackberry-connect' utility that comes with the Blackberry TabletOS SDK .
First thing you need to be connected with the pc and playbook on the same wifi.
You will need a private key, and a public key created with the ssh-gen utility or you can use the keys I attach in keys.zip.
Use the utility to connect the device on port 4455:
blackberrysdk\blackberry-connect -targetHost <ip> -devicePassword <pass> -sshPublicKey <yourkey4096.pub>
In order to connect it, I used 2 utilities: Peagent, and Putty.
By starting Peagent, load the private key (or .pkk in the zip). and use putty to connect the device.
The username is : devuser
There is also a way to execute native code on the device as first discovered by @b3ll.
The idea is to compile the code in the QNX ide for armv7, making them runnable by : chmod +x nativeapp
and zipping them.
Then connect the device using the Blackberry desktop, copy the zip to "Downloads" directory and use the ssh to unzip the files and run them(in /tmp directory).
The Download directory will be located somewhere under the /accounts directory. I added the native app that @b3ll originally published.
Also, the device has 3 connections in the bottom, the most right is the magnetic charger- which cannot transfer data.
The middle one is micro-USB, and the left one is mini-hdmi.
Leaving the micro-USB the only connection that can transfer data.
Key combinations
POWER - turning on the device
Turning on using POWER + Volume-UP - gives unknown special mode for few seconds.
Thats all i figured out so far

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Ideal for fishing
Would have been nice to have been told you need to take towels.
Only one bath mat provided. So we had to go out and buy towels and tea towels.
Lady on reception was not helpful at all!
Booked for a fishing weekend and no one around the lake for the whole weekend caught one fish? Is it even stocked?
Lovely place
We had a brilliant time and this was our second visit
Beautiful setting, well set out for both fishers and non fishers alike. The only problem is the access road when it is very wet. Having said that there have been improvements made already this year. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and it is a lovely peaceful break. Both times we have stayed in November and although it can get chilly it is still cosy enough not to spoil your break.
very enjoyable stay
nice place for wild life
We have been a few times and will return again.
I would like to say this is my top fishing holiday place to go. You are left to enjoy the pleasures of fishing at wood lakes, Without the pressures of a commercial fishery, the time of year I go you have to fish for your fish and use your knowledge. Fish of note this time round, three common 22lb 20lb 18lb Tench 6lb 8lb cabin lake.
Have been here many times, perfect tanquil escape, even in winter.
My absolute favourite place to be in the uk
Thank you woodlakes, see you again very soon
We have been coming to Woodlakes fro the last 8 years and are coming again next May. The fishing is usually good - I use the outer lakes and my husband usually stays on the main lake.
Loved it. Definitly go again...
Peaceful location & lovely setting. Plenty of information about surrounding area and places to visit. Very helpful & friendly staff. We chose this location to get away from it all but its very popular with fishermen.
This was our 8th time staying at Woodlakes in the last 4 years. We absolutely love the peace and tranquility of the lakeside lodges. This year has been the best year for fishing in the cabin lake and my husband was over the moon to have caught his personal best on this last trip...a 32lb common carp. We also caught at least 6 other's over 20lb so we were very pleased.
The cabins have all the basic items you would require but if not, there are local shops nearby in Downham Market where you will be able to get most things. There are 3 really good local pubs nearby also, definitely recommend trying them.
