Hey guys I've added you guys to my RSS feed on the recommendation of a friend. I love what I see and even recently saw that you have game reviews. The problem is that they are woefully out of date and severely lacking in quantity. In light of the PS Vita coming out and it having backwards compatibility with PSP Games from the PSN, as well as the fact that thanks to the new firmware update it can now play PS One Classics wouldn't it be a good idea to highlight some of the amazing games that the PSP has on tap via the PSN? |
We used to be hot and heavy into PSP and DS game reviews several years ago. We've done a few for the Vita, but the problem is time and staffing. Perhaps in the future, but no promises, sadly. |

Windows: Are you planning to upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP? Microsoft has developed a special tool to make this process much easier. It's called Windows 7 Easy Transfer for Windows XP and lets you copy all your documents, music, photos, user settings, bookmarks and more to a new computer with Windows 7. Oh, and there's also a version for Vista!
Mac: If you think Macs don't need a virus checker then think again. Although the risk of virus attack is very small compared to Windows, Mac viruses are on the increase and this will continue as Macs become more popular. Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac offers quick and thorough scanning options as well as real-time scanning of files download from the internet, via email, etc.
Phones: Hangman Classic Free is an iPhone version of the classic game, in which you need to figure out what a word is by guessing letters. Simply tap a letter on the screen and if it's in the word it will be displayed, if it's not then another body part will be drawn onto the hanging stickman. Guess the word before the drawing is complete and you win, or else you die. It's that simple.

The "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" says that switch_root is exiting for some reason. It could be anything from missing files/devices on the /mnt/root file system to a bug in busy_box. By booting into the shell you can run the command by hand (maybe with strace if you have it) to help identify where the problem is.

Statement From Aereo CEO and Founder Chet Kanojia
January 10, 2014 --
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 01/10/14 -- The United States Supreme Court today issued an order granting the petition for a writ of certiorari in the matter of American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., et al., v. Aereo, Inc. Below is a statement from Aereo CEO and Founder Chet Kanojia:
"We said from the beginning that it was our hope that this case would be decided on the merits and not through a wasteful war of attrition. We look forward to presenting our case to the Supreme Court and we have every confidence that the Court will validate and preserve a consumer's right to access local over-the-air television with an individual antenna, make a personal recording with a DVR, and watch that recording on a device of their choice.
"This case is critically important not only to Aereo, but to the entire cloud computing and cloud storage industry. The landmark Second Circuit decision in Cablevision provided much needed clarity for the cloud industry and as a result, helped foster massive investment, growth and innovation in the sector. The challenges outlined in the broadcasters' filing make clear that they are using Aereo as a proxy to attack Cablevision itself and thus, undermine a critical foundation of the cloud computing and storage industry.
"We believe that consumers have a right to use an antenna to access over-the-air television and to make personal recordings of those broadcasts. The broadcasters are asking the Court to deny consumers the ability to use the cloud to access a more modern-day television antenna and DVR. If the broadcasters succeed, the consequences to consumers and the cloud industry are chilling.
"We remain unwavering in our confidence that Aereo's technology falls squarely within the law and our team will continue to work hard to provide our consumers with best-in-class technology that delights and adds meaningful value to their lives."
Background on Aereo
Aereo is currently available to residents in the following markets: New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Salt Lake City, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Detroit and Baltimore. Aereo's innovative remote (cloud-based) antenna/DVR technology makes watching television simple and user-friendly. Using Aereo's technology, consumers can pause and rewind any program that they are watching live, or save a program for future viewing.
Aereo membership begins at $8 per month, for access to Aereo's cloud-based antenna/DVR technology and 20 hours of DVR storage. For an additional $4, consumers can upgrade their membership and receive 60 hours of DVR storage for a total of $12 per month. Consumers who join Aereo will get their first of month of access for free. Aereo's technology works on 'smart' devices from tablets to phones to laptop computers. Aereo is currently supported on iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch. The Aereo app for Android (currently in beta) is available for download for devices running Android operating system version 4.1 or higher. Aereo is also supported on Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Opera, AppleTV (via airplay) and Roku platforms.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jay Leno's plugging away in prime time, but he still says he would have rather stayed put at "The Tonight Show" -- and if NBC offered him that late-night job again, he says he'd take it.
In an interview with Broadcasting & Cable magazine, Leno hastily adds that such a decision isn't his to make. Conan O'Brien, his successor as "Tonight" host after 17 years, is "doing fine," says Leno.
"The Jay Leno Show" began on NBC in September, airing Monday through Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern, where it has displaced prime-time scripted dramas. For that, and for his less-than-stellar ratings thus far, Leno has taken heat within the TV industry as well as from critics.
But getting beat up is just part of the game, says Leno, who insists he enjoys his role "being the underdog."

New Samsung LCD display adapts to sunlight
I know. It's just a lowly LCD display. But this is still an interesting technology that I would like to see rolled out with mobile devices.
Here's the scoop. "Samsung announced today the development of an intelligent mobile display driver IC (DDI), which enables the displays on handheld devices to deliver clearer images in broad daylight. Until now, mobile DDIs have been designed simply to drive the LCD panels mounted on mobile devices. Now, Samsung has developed an intelligent version that will reduce display power consumption and improve image quality on mobile displays. Samsung's new DDI device automatically measures the brightness of ambient light and determines the optimal image output. While enhancing the visibility of on-screen images outdoors, this DDI device can reduce the power consumption of the display module by nearly 30 percent by lowering the backlight brightness in an indoor environment."

Here is the chain of events that we observed:
- User browsed to: www.thenewsvault.com
- The site included content from: www.tvshark.com/read/?art=arc8755
- Which included content from: www.tvshark.com/abritebtm300.html
- Which linked in what appears to be an advertisement iframe: ads-svx.httpads.com/adserver/cached_iframe?guid=16ce4035-ded0-49c8-8515-8e234cbb2b8b
- That loaded the "advertisement" rotator from: c1.zxxds.net, which includes a number of pages, the main one being: /jsc/c1/ff2.html?n=1721;c=3;s=4;d=9;w=300;h=250. Some online references show c1.zxxds.net as having a poor reputation, including involvement with adware.
- The c1.zxxds.net site then loaded: chgdjk.info/nw87b6rh/counter.php?id=5 and a number of other pages on this domain which are allegedly exploit kit driven.
- From the response size in the logs, we can see that the exploit kit payload page was: chgdjk.info/nw87b6rh/?11ecfa793c76017554490058535a0301030355535d5555090a05035456510f0a00;1;10
At the time of the transactions, chgdjk.info resolved to 188.8.131.52. Doing some Google searching, we found that the site TheTVDB.com linked in content (probably in the same way) to an exploit kit hosted on behtyg.info (188.8.131.52) - the same IP, reported March 12, 2012.
Looking up other domains that resolved to this same IP shows an interesting history of this recent, on-going campaign. These are some of the domains that resolved to this IP - most/all registered within the last few days, all have the same registrant info, but the emails vary (presumably to get around bulk registration checks):

DomainTools shows that there have been about 1200 domains registered with this whois information (e.g., search by phone number). We're now seeing 188.8.131.52 used for resolution of the chgdjk.info domain (part of a Black Lotus Communications /24 netblock). Clearly a decent-sized and dynamic malware campaign currently leveraging malvertising to redirect to exploit kit sites.
Unfortunately our replay attempts have been unsuccessful at pulling down the malware content- to include using forged headers (such as user-agent and referrer) as well as beginning from the initial transaction chain. This is a common problem when analyzing malvertising incidents - since the malware is injected as part of an advertisement rotator site, it is difficult to replay as the advertisements and key variables used to drive the advertisement (in this case malware) may change. We will update if there are additional details.

Reward: The First Hero
The story of Alethrion and Amerath, the original creators of the map.
4.82 / 5.00 20,367 ViewsVersion 2 of the popular music Video One Love
A second version was released to resolve the following issues:
-The Sound: Coolboyman has spent the last few days realigning the entire movie so the gaps are gone, and all lipsync is perfect. This is why hes in the Authur list.
2- Lecca and Aurora really deserve to have there names on the Co list, because along with Cycon they put the most effort in.
3- Minor changes have been made and Grashaboras name has been spelt correctly.
So enjoy...again, hopefully this time itll be easier to watch.
Much, Much, Better
I loved version one enough to not be biased about the sound, but remastered version kicks teh boo-tay!
StrawberryClock is indeed teh king of teh Portal!
This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!
Great idea Gerkinman... A collab of all of NG's best artists to bring them together. The graphics were amazing for the most part, and there were random humourous parts thrown here and there. The song is truely amazing, and this is a very original idea. This is a real one of a kind submission!
One of the greats
I think that this is one of the best animations on NG. With the multitude of artists, and skill levels, this animation kindof shows the steps that artists make in levels of skill. With the sound fixed from the first one, it definately made it much easier to listen to without the gaps. Still gotta love Cycon's expressiveness. Maybe I will get to that level some day but just getting flash, I doubt that I will have anything comparable to any of these artists for a long time to come.
the good got better
excellent changes, good work coolboyman, but I suggest that you take the old one down, people are getting irritated about them being both up

If you're inclined to waste your time on Sidney Blumenthal and Whitewater, this is an amusing battle in which Blumenthal accuses the New York Times of being part of a right-wing attack machine (re-read that carefully, I'm not kidding), mostly on grounds that the Times reported Whitewater at all (in March 1992) and then failed to report on various Whitewater developments later that purportedly cast the original article into doubt. Former editor and current interim editor Joseph Lelyveld responds by tearing Blumenthal's smoke-and-mirrors critique to pieces. (I noted Lelyveld's review of Blumenthal's book here).
Dick Morris, meanwhile, charges Lelyveld's Times with pro-Clinton bias on Whitewater, and as usual with Morris' charges, he himself is a prime conspirator. (Take anything Morris says with a grain of salt, although the evidence he cites of the puff piece he describes is certainly supportive.) Ironically, Morris and Blumenthal both cite the Times' non-reporting of Whitewater stories as indicative of bias.
The funny thing is how Clinton partisans try to attack the Times and investigative reporter Jeff Gerth for bringing Whitewater to light at all. Why is that so important? Well, because much of the Clintons' subsequent misbehavior in response to the investigation can only be justified if you start with the premise that there was nothing at all that should ever have been investigated.

New Purchase
The portfolio currently has a position in VZ and I want to add another high quality telecom.
The first thing I look at in the stock selection process is the company's financial strength. If a company doesn't pass this test, I go no further in my research.
I look for companies that rate a 1 or 2 for safety by Value Line, or a BBB+ rating or higher with Morningstar, or a B+ rating or higher with S&P Capital IQ.
Value Line shows a safety rating of 1, a Financial Strength rating of A++ and Morningstar shows a Credit Rating of A-. This is the type of company I prefer to own over the long term.
In looking at the company earnings, S&P Capital IQ shows operating earnings at 5.0%. I place telecom companies under the utility umbrella and a 5.0% earnings growth is a number I look for. So, T qualifies there as well.
Looking forward regarding total return results, S&P Capital IQ thinks that over the next 5 years T will show total annualized returns of 12.0%. Value Line thinks 12.0% is the low number and thinks T now has the potential to show a total annualized return of 14.0% on the high side.
When looking at valuations, T has a PE of 10.1 and the historical PE over the last 10 years has been 16.2. That would indicated that T is undervalued based on historical performance. However, Morningstar thinks T is fairly valued at $32.00 and Capital IQ thinks fair value is $29.10.
I am willing to buy "high quality" companies at fair value, and companies don't get higher grades for quality than what Value Line assigns to T.
According to Jefferson Research, a company who rates as one of the top companies for accuracy when assigning buy, sell or hold ratings for T, has a Buy rating at this time.
They list Earnings Quality as Strongest. ... Cash Flow Quality as Strong. ... Operating Efficiency as Strongest. ... Balance Sheet as Weak, but up from Weakest. ... Valuation as Least Risk.
In looking at their Balance Sheet rating, they say T shows the ability to pay its bills and fund future growth. Their cash position has increased from $1,480M to $3,445M and with more cash on hand, T is better able to meet its financial obligations including its dividend. T has increased the amount of current assets relative to current liabilities.
Fidelity has an analysts rating system called StarMine who shows an Equity Summary Score (ESS) for each company. The ESS system rates various investment firms for their accuracy in making buy, sell or hold calls for the following 6 to 12 months after they make their call.
The ESS system then takes the views from the various investment houses and comes up with a score from 1 to 10.
9.1 to 10 = Very Bullish
7.0 to 9.0 = Bullish
3.0 to 6.9 = Neutral
1.1 to 2.9 = Bearish
Below 1.1 = Very Bearish
I have been tracking T for a couple of months and back on 12/23 the rating was 5.5. The rating rose in January and on 1/30 the rating was 6.8. Following the most recent earnings report, the rating has risen to 8.5 ... Bullish.
Value Line has a Timeliness Rating from 1 to 5 with 1 being best. Anything rated 1 or 2 for Timeliness means they expect the company to outperform the other companies they cover over the next 6 to 12 months. They assign T a rating of 2.
So, ESS and VL say now is the time to purchase T. Since T meets most of the metrics required, the only thing left is the yield and dividend growth.
T has raised the dividend for 8 consecutive years. It has a current yield of 5.60% which is well above the minimum requirement. It's 5 year compounded annual growth rate of the dividend is 2.37%.
When I'm looking at utilities, and I place telecom under the utility umbrella, I look for a total dividend return (yield plus 5 year dividend growth) of 8.0%. ... T currently has a rating of 7.97%. It's close enough for me given the high quality of this company.
With this in mind, as soon as the funds hit the account, T is the next purchase!

Chowder, doesn't it concern you a little bit that T has basically done nothing for years despite having a de facto duopoly in the wireless telecom space? I've been watching this stock for 3-4 years, and I just can't see a reason to own it when there are other companies actually growing their revenues and dividends at a much more meaningful pace. What happens if/when T-Mobile and Sprint join forces to create a 3rd powerful player in the space?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm looking at T for the amount of income it can produce. T has a reliable dividend. The company is financially sound and the dividend is not in jeopardy. I'm willing to compound that 5.7% yield, plus whatever dividend growth is tossed off. I'd be happy if share price only advanced 3% to 4% per year This is a defensive play that generates decent income. I'll take it.
DeleteSo I guess that's a roundabout way of saying that you're not concerned about increased competition in the space and what that might mean in terms of cash flow growth for them? Interesting, thanks
DeleteActually, I'm not concerned about increased competition. T and VZ will be hard to catch up on with cap spending to expand.
I think what I like most about T is the low expectations from most people. A lot of negative news is already priced in, and when you have a financially sound company with low expectations, it allows the dividends to be reinvested at very good value. This should work out well over the long term.
T doesn't pass the Chowder rule. Swimming in debt. Capital intensive industry. Slow growth and low, low, low dividend growth.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI put telecom under the utility umbrella, a different set of criteria.
I don't mind the slow growth, in fact I welcome it. I'm looking for steady returns, a safe dividend with a reasonably high yield, and a leader in their industry. T passed the utility test, thus it was added to the portfolio.
Every position isn't going to make the starting team. A team can't succeed without a steady and reliable bench. T is a great bench player.
I just noticed that T's Valueline Timeliness rank was downgraded to a 3 on 3/28 and VZ's Timeliness rank was raised to a 1 on 6/13--which I found slightly surprising. Do you think T's downgrade has to do with the DTV acquisition or simply the increase in share price? VZ also seems fully valued, so it's recent upgrade in Timeliness was also rather interesting. T's Starmine rating is at an 8.9 now and VZ is a neutral 3.5. How much weight do you put into these two metrics, and does it matter to you if they have conflicting ratings? Which of them would you add money to today?RepliesYes, I think the timeliness rating for T has dropped due to the Direct TV merger. It's going to take about a year for that to play out and until there is more certainty to knowing whether the deal goes through or not, price is probably going to be range bound for the next 6 to 12 months.
I think T and VZ are both worth owning, but I think if I could only buy one today, it would be VZ. If VL is accurate regarding their timeliness ratings, then VZ won't present as much of a value six months from now as opposed to T who still may.
This decision is only based on whether the timeliness of the purchase is important, which is what I think you were asking.
thanks chowder--yes, that's what I was asking re. timeliness. In addition, if the top Starmine/ESS ratings say "Sell" but Valueline gives a stock 1 or 2 for Timeliness, does this discrepancy bother you?

Characteristics of piezoceramic and 3-3 piezocomposite hydrophones evaluated by finite element modelling
Ramesh, R., Kara, H. and Bowen, C. R., 2004. Characteristics of piezoceramic and 3-3 piezocomposite hydrophones evaluated by finite element modelling. Computational Materials Science, 30 (3-4), pp. 397-403.

The transducer characteristics of hydrophones manufactured from porous 3-3 piezocomposites are compared with dense piezoceramic disc hydrophones using finite element modelling. Due to the complex porous structure of the 3-3 piezocomposites, a real-size 3-dimensional model was developed while a 2-dimensional axisymmetric model was constructed for the simple dense disc hydrophone. The electrical impedance and receiving sensitivity of the hydrophones in water were evaluated in the frequency range 10-100 kHz. The model results were compared with the experimental results. The sharp resonance peaks observed for the dense piezoceramic hydrophone were broadened to a large extent for porous piezocomposite hydrophones due to weaker coupling of the structure. The receiving sensitivity of piezocomposite hydrophones is found to be constant over the frequency range studied. The flat frequency response suggests that the 3-3 piezocomposites are useful for wide-band hydrophone applications. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As consumer demand for functional foods and supplements containing healthy lipids and oils continues to soar, global demand for fish oils and omega oils (omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, & omega-9) will continue to climb.
Yet the massive market for these mega-ingredients is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to healthy oils: from antioxidant-rich olive oils, to healthy vegetable and seed oils, and the growing interest for herbal oils and supplements – the market is booming.
While research on the benefits of supplements and health focused functional foods may take centre stage for many, tackling the challenges of sustainability, supply chain management, and formulation in finished products are all vital for future success.
In this NutraIngredients and FoodNavigator online event, we bring you the latest consumer and market insights, scientific developments and technical innovations in the nutritional lipids and oils space.

It's a generational thing! From infants to baby boomers, the market offers lots of products showing how preferences and needs differ from one age group to the next. The markets in individual categories are growing rapidly. For example the rising ageing population means products targeted at the elderly are increasing with focus on energy, cognitive health and bone and joint health.
Providing the right nutrition at progressing life stages can play a key role in reducing the risk of developing a number of conditions, from cancer to diabetes, osteoporosis to obesity. The right nutrition for the right age group also increases the feeling of day-to-day wellbeing.
Successfully developing food, beverage and supplement products for different age groups requires a deep understanding of tastes, health conditions, and spending power, but which groups show the most market potential? What do different groups look for in a food, beverage or supplement? Which are the health benefits they look for the most? And how can successful formulations be translated from one generation to the next?
LifeStages2012 will focus on the very latest opportunities in this sector, including the ever-expanding Kids health category, a detailed overview on the different age groups in the life stages markets, life stage product opportunities in emerging markets and of course marketing and advertising to the modern day world.

Bread, cake and biscuit brand owners along with cereal and snack makers are still facing a challenging market climate, particularly with higher raw material costs.
The industry has to remain focused on maintaining its margins, managing its cost base and continuing its efforts to stimulate growth through innovation.
A thirst for health, naturalness and novelty are the driving forces behind innovation in this sector. These trends lie behind the emergence of new finished products and ingredients from enzymes used to replace artificial emulsifiers or calcium-enriched breakfast cereals.
So at Bakery Formulation 2012 Virtual Conference, we ask what will constitute tomorrow's value added bakery and cereal lines and how should formulators make them?
Featuring insight from leading voices in the industry, the conference will help formulators, nutritionists, marketers and brand development managers answer these questions.

Probiotics may have taken some time to seep into consumer consciousness, especially in the US, but digestive health last year entered the top three fastest growing functional food categories. And with developments in science and technology also come greater opportunities to widen the category beyond the traditional dairy application.
The ever-prevalent interest in products that can help boost the body's defence and the direct manner in which gut health benefits are felt has fortified a €12bn+ category.
Regulatory uncertainly in Europe and a string of high-profile lawsuits in the US has made firms much more cautious about making health claims about probiotics.
The Pre- & Probiotics 2012 Virtual Conference will assess this ever-developing but highly critical scenario from both the scientific and regulatory point of view.

As obesity rates continue to rise, the opportunities for scientifically-substantiated weight management food products are impressive.
The emphasis is now moving from dietary programs like Atkins towards an approach that integrates weight loss with overall good health. From market leading satiety ingredients to the next generation of reformulated low-fat products, from sweeteners to meal replacements blessed by EFSA, the weight management market is driving innovation across the industry.
The Weight Management 2011 Virtual Conference & Expo will bring together leading voices in these key areas, as well the cutting edge science of probiotics and prebiotics, and pragmatic insights into getting a health claim.

As populations age, the threat of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis is looming large in the global consciousness. But bone and joint health go beyond the elderly, with implications for the young, athletes, and beyond.
Natural products with potential bone and joint health benefits - calcium, vitamins D and K, glucosamine, and chondroitin, to name but a few - are big business: The US bone and joint health market was estimated to be worth $178 million in 2008, and is predicted to be $246 million by 2015, according to Frost & Sullivan.
However, conflicting science and regulatory pressures are undermining the potential growth of this market.
The Bone & Joint Health 2011 Virtual Conference will look at what products are working and with whom, how to strengthen the science, and how to formulate a winning product.

Gut health and immunity products have been the star performers in functional foods for many years, but the category faces serious challenges as regulators globally place stringent demands on the kind of science required to back claims.
Big Food players like Danone, Yakult and General Mills are heavily invested in the €12bn+ sector that analysts predict will double to €24bn by 2016, despite the EU and US regulatory clampdown that has forced shifts not only in marketing strategies - but the very relationship between marketing and science.
The sector's ongoing scientific efforts have been boosted recently by the US's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) - an organ of the National Institutes of Health - explicitly backing probiotic research and effects in a number of health areas in the gut, the immune system and beyond.
The Pre- & Probiotics 2011 Virtual Conference will feature leading voices offering cutting edge, pragmatic advice to advance understanding of where pre- and probiotic science is at, where it is going, and how it can inform claim-making and market building.

As the global problem of obesity becomes more pronounced, science is helping build credibility for a number of ingredients, and leading companies are forming high-profile food partnerships to get them to consumers.
Food-industry experts predict weight management will be the most significant trend in food in coming years. This is why, from an ingredient standpoint, so many major suppliers are beefing up their portfolio of weight-management offerings. It's one of the main reasons why functional foods are the fastest-growing sector of the food industry, and why the weight-management market is valued at more than $7 billion globally.
While some brands, such as SlimFast, Weight Watchers, and Jenny Craig have mushroomed on the back of consumer needs, weight management supplements have been blighted by dubious internet offers. How does the market respond to increasing consumer cynicism, how does it grow the science, and what are the next big developments for the segment?

Significance and Use
4.1 The method of attachment of roof tiles to the roof deck, or support structure, is one factor in the resistance of concrete and clay roof tiles to the action of wind. Several systems of attachment, and even combinations of systems, are used in the application of tile to a roof. The mechanical uplift resistance of the tile, when applied to the roof by any attachment system approved by, and in accordance with, the manufacturer's instructions, is a primary factor in the tile's resistance to the action of wind. This test method determines the mechanical uplift resistance that is related to resistance to the uplift forces acting as a result of wind. Natural wind conditions differ with respect to intensity, duration, and turbulence; these conditions are beyond the means of this test method to simulate.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a procedure to determine the mechanical uplift resistance of concrete and clay roof tiles, which relates to the wind resistance of an air-permeable roof tile system as applied to a roof.
1.2 The procedure covers mechanically-fastened attachment systems, adhesive-set attachment systems, and mortar-set attachment systems, or combinations of attachment systems, that are used to apply tile to a roof.
1.3 The values stated in inch pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are given for reference only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

The thermal conductivity was largely lowered by SiO2-doping because thermal conduction by phonon vibration is sensitive to microstructure. SiO2-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 was observed to have a layered structure resulting from the inhomogeneous distribution of SiO2 after annealing.
In order to clarify the influence of SiO2-doping on device performance, the team fabricated a test cell and performed electrical characterization on the PcRAM device.
Electro-thermal simulation revealed that the reduced thermal conductivity contributes to the improvement in cell efficiency as well as to a reduction in the reset current. In addition, the SiO2-doped GST has a large sensing margin comparable to that of GST, which is usually unexpected from other dopants, such as O, N and Si.

Initial Review, 35,000 Miles on Tires These tires were original at time of purchase. After 35,000 miles, tread life is very disappointing. Dry pavement is okay but wet and any trace of snow or ice, and traction is limited and unreliable. Comfort and noise levels are very good, but I would not purchase these tires again.

Thousands of people packed into a rain-swept Trafalgar Square in Central London yesterday to celebrate Chinese New Year.
To mark the year of the snake, performers from China and Britain had paraded through the streets of Chinatown before a traditional dragon eyes-dotting ceremony on the stage at Trafalgar Square, and a flying lion dance in front of the facade of the National Gallery.
Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese Ambassador to the UK, said: "I'm very pleased to see that Chinese New Year is not just Chinese. It shows closer cultural relations between China and Great

Spectral reflectance and transmittance prediction model for stacked transparency and paper both printed with halftone colors |
JOSA A, Vol. 29, Issue 8, pp. 1537-1548 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (434 KB)
When a transparency printed with a first halftone color is deposited on top of a paper printed with a second halftone color, we obtain a third color that we are able to predict in both reflectance and transmittance modes, thanks to a spectral prediction model. The model accounts for the multiple reflections of light between the printed paper and the printed transparency, which are themselves described by specific reflectance and transmittance models, each one being calibrated using a small number of printed colors. The model can account for light scattering by the inks. The measuring geometry and the orientations of light in the transparency are taken into account on the basis of radiometric rules and geometrical optical laws. Experimental testing carried out from several inkjet-printed CMY halftones shows fairly good agreement between predictions and measurements.

Troglitazone maleate (Rezulin) has been associated with severe hepatotoxicity, which led to its withdrawal from the U.S. market in March 2000. Rosiglitazone maleate (Avandia) is being marketed as a safe alternative in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We report a case of severe thiazolidinedione-induced cholestatic hepatitis in a 56-year-old female patient at a university hospital who was given rosiglitazone, 8 mg/day, after she developed milder hepatotoxicity while taking troglitazone. Rosiglitazone was discontinued, and the patient was treated with prednisone, azathioprine, and ursodiol. Clinical evaluation and liver biopsy were performed and liver function tests were monitored. After being switched from troglitazone to rosiglitazone the patient developed a severe cholestatic hepatitis with marked jaundice and moderate increases in serum alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase but only mild increases in serum aminotransferases. Discontinuation of rosiglitazone and treatment with prednisone, azathioprine, and ursodiol led to improvement, albeit with residual injury, dropout of intrahepatic bile ducts, and persisting elevations of serum alkaline phosphatase. Rosiglitazone is not always a safe alternative in patients who have had hepatotoxicity to troglitazone. It is important to monitor the serum alkaline phosphatase in addition to the serum aminotransferases in patients taking thiazolidinediones.

The State of the Oceans
Jane Lubchenco, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator, will discuss the fact that it is a critical time for our oceans and coasts. The oceans are changing; our uses of the oceans are changing; our expectations and demands of the oceans and coastal areas are changing. The decisions we make now will impact the global health of the oceans for generations. They will impact the vibrancy of our coastal ecosystems, and they will impact the communities and economies dependent on the ocean resources. Now is the time for engagement if we wish to redirect the global trajectory and transition to sustainable uses and to healthy oceans and coasts
Enric Sala is a marine ecologist who fell in love with the sea growing up on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Witnessing the harm people do to the oceans led him to dedicate his career to understand and find ways to mitigate human impacts on marine life. He will discuss the state of the oceans and what is needed to affect and manage policy.

Driver of the site works, but the resolution (in games) is limited. I need this driver: 13-1-legacy_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc_whql.exe
BTW: It may be a problem with the server? Two weeks ago it worked.
No matter how you need it, it doesn't exist. Not only on the server, it doesn't exist at all.

Nearby Anderson Marsh State Historic Park (707-279-2267; 994-0688) offers beautiful bird-filled waterways with spectacular vistas of hillside vineyards; heron rookeries in the treetops are visible from the water. Two put-ins: Anderson Marsh State Historic Park (north); footpath with access for kayaks at end of Lakeview Way, off Old Hwy 53, west from Hwy 53 in Clearlake. OR put in at Shaw's Shady Acres (parking $1.00) at south end of Cache Creek Way, also off Old Hwy 53, west off Hwy 53 in Clearlake. From Shaw�s Shady Acres, paddle east about 3 miles along Cache Creek to the dam, or head west, then south into the marsh itself and the McVicar Audubon Preserve, or north to loop around Garner Island. Picnic or fish from atop the old bridge footings opposite the footpath put-in.
Rodman Slough north of Lakeport also has smooth channels and great birding; take the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff from either Hwy 29 or Hwy 20 between upper Lakeport and Nice.

Whenever I bet against the Patriots they score 52 points and win by 30, but when I bet on them they look like this? Sheesh!
Make post sticky on:
Brady has been poor in the playoffs since Spygate
Bad game for Brady and Patriots. I was expecting high scoring game and Patriots scoring 40+ points and winning.
i feel you buddy it always happens to me

7 markets to watch in 2010
Which smaller areas have great cottage deals
1. Thunder Bay's inland lakes
This region has more than 20 major lakes, including Lac des Mille Lacs and Trout, Shebandowan, Loon, Sandstone, and Lottit lakes. Ontario's third-busiest airport is in Thunder Bay, a regular destination from southern Ontario and Winnipeg.
What you'll pay: $70-$200K.
Typical cottage: A three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage on Trout Lake on a small lot with a sauna outbuilding sold for $124,000 last July.
Endorsement: "Thunder Bay is a thriving metropolis. It's got absolutely everything," says Jack Mallon, Royal LePage Lannon Realty (Thunder Bay). "Lakes are less than an hour from the airport, and the US border is sixty kilometres away."
Ideal for: Cottagers who want it all: A remote getaway with awe-inspiring natural beauty and easy access to amenities.
2. Ipperwash
In the southern portion of the popular Lake Huron area, Ipperwash gets overlooked because of the stigma resulting from the now-resolved land-claim disputes of the 1990s.
What you'll pay: $300-$500K.
Typical cottage: A four-season, three-bedroom, 1.5-garage Viceroy cottage with a sauna on a sandy beach sold last summer for $450K.
Endorsement: "Ipperwash is ninety-nine per cent beach. You can walk a hundred feet in and the water won't go past your knees," says Doug Pedlar, Re/Max Bluewater Realty. "Plus, we don't have the bugs, which is important in late June."
Ideal for: Beach lovers, deal hunters, and those looking for a family-oriented vibe. Pedlar says cottagers here tend to be young families and grandparents with small grandkids.
3. Kenogami
This northern Temiskaming hideout between Kenogami Lake and Lake Sesekinika is remote, with a half-dozen mostly clear and clean lakes and the Blanch River just off Hwy. 11. Stock ranges from rickety cabins to large log buildings.
What you'll pay: $75-$350K.
Typical cottage: A three-bedroom, 1,350-sq.-ft. year-rounder on Labyrinth Lake was listed last season for $189K.
Endorsement: "There's a lot of great fishing, and snowmobile trails that go to Timmins, Cochrane, Kirkland Lake, and even into Quebec. And it's certainly less expensive than southern Temagami," says Bill Byers of Coldwell Banker Temiskaming Realty.
Ideal for: Hunters, anglers, and ATVers. Your neighbours, in year-round homes, may be gold miners, who work in the area and are benefiting from a boom in gold right now.
4. Rice Lake
The cottaging here is almost urban; neighbours may only be 10 feet away. The upside: Small lots mean entry-level cottages.
What you'll pay: $150-$300K.
Typical cottage: A two-bedroom with fishing off the dock on the Otonabee River on a 61-foot by 100-foot lot went in 2009 for $165K.
Endorsement: "It's not a 'high-end' lake. You don't get your two-acre lots. But it's much more affordable than other areas, especially for being so close to urban centres," says Sandra Macklin, Re/Max Eastern Realty.
Ideal for: Anglers: Rice Lake is shallow and fertile, and described as having more fish per acre than any lake in the province. As of January, ice fishing is allowed.
5. Almaguin Highlands
Strewn with small lakes on the Pickerel River system, the area is 95 per cent Crown land, i.e., a lot of unspoiled beauty and no crowds—unless you count wildlife.
What you'll pay: $150-$250K.
Typical cottage: A 768-sq.-ft. cottage with two bedrooms on about an acre of Caribou Lake waterfront sold last year for $216K.
Endorsement: "Once you come, you don't leave. There is very little turnover," says Joe Whitmell, Pine Lakes Realty/Coldwell Banker, because many people buy cottages and eventually convert them into full-time residences.
Ideal for: Boaters who like to fish, thanks to the more than 60 km of navigable river system connecting the region's five major lakes (Duck, Wilson, Toad, Kawigamog, and Dollars).
6. Bancroft
Three hours from Toronto, this is a region of small lakes—some weedy, some motor-free, and some clear with limestone basins—on largely Crown land, ensuring the place will never get too packed. Cottage stock is often in the 30- to 40-year-old range.
What you'll pay: $200-$340K.
Typical cottage: A three-bedroom, four-season place on a third of an acre with 208 feet of southwest-facing waterfront and a dock on Steenburg Lake sold in 2009 for $256K.
Endorsement: "Bancroft is still a small town, and there are lots of basic, 'roughin' it' cottages and lots of young families," says Tim Fulford of BancroftRealEstate.com.
Ideal for: People who like canoeing, and people who are into hiking trails and geocaching in the middle of the bush.
7. Land O' Lakes
The name is apt: Part of the Frontenac water system, Land O' Lakes is as large as Prince Edward Island and contains 5,000 pristine glacier-formed lakes—some don't even have names.
What you'll pay: $150-$600K.
Typical cottage: A three-bedroom, four-season place with 202 feet of sandy beachfront and a detached two-car garage sold last summer on Sharbot Lake for $379,900.
Endorsement: "The lakes are clean and healthy. And each one has a personality and an environment that suits different needs," says Alison Robinson, Lake District Realty. "For example, White Lake doesn't allow powerboating or fishing, perfect for sailing and swimming."
Ideal for: Cottagers into outdoor recreation. Canoeists and kayakers can paddle for three days straight, and the huge trail system is great for activities such as biking, hiking, skiing, and sledding.
