UCSD senior makes his point in javelin throw
Howe going for his third straight national title
Howe credits Salerno, who has coached at UCSD for all but four of the last 24 years, with much of his success. Salerno coaches him in weight training along with technique.
"I'm so fortunate to come into this program," said Howe, who also considered UCLA. "I totally believe in his system. I hear what other coaches tell their athletes inside and outside of competition, and I know that, wow, that is wrong."
If Howe had been competing at the NCAA Division I level, his top marks at nationals would have made him an All-American, but not a national champion. The very elite in the sport are in the 250-feet range, so Howe has some distance to travel, and it's not an easy jump.
But he is going to work toward that goal. He's been accepted into USD's School of Law, but will attend part-time while he trains full time to make a run at Olympic qualifying in 2016.
"I want to be the best in the country," Howe said, "and I'm willing to put the next four years on the line to do it.
"The opportunity to get to the next level is really appealing, to always have that next throw in front of you that could be the next big moment."

Eight communist rebels were killed on Thursday in a clash with government troops in the eastern Philippines, the military and police said.
The fire fight erupted when troops stumbled upon a group of 20 guerrillas setting up a temporary encampment in a village in Juban town in Sorsogon province, 380 kilometres south-east of Manila, said regional police spokesman Superintendent Renato Bataller.
Troops recovered five high-powered firearms, including two M203 grenade launchers, and an improvised explosive device from the encampment, said Lieutenant Ramon Zagala, a military spokesman.
Zagala said two of the eight slain rebels were female.
Hostilities between government troops and communist rebels have been escalating amid an impasse in peace talks aimed at ending one of the longest-running leftist insurgencies in Asia.
Rebel leaders based in the Netherlands have expressed doubts that the negotiations, which have been stalled since 2004, would resume under the administration of President Benigno Aquino.

i use this saw on small projects in my spare time while out on the road. the only fault so far is after many uses, the corners on the square nuts on this product start to round over.so i went and replaced them with two washers and a wingnut,because i could not find another square nut in stores to fit.now works even better.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow!
looks great looking forward
ALRighttt!!! It's OMEGA BOOSTS meets COLONY WARS that tries the look visually like EVE ONLINE. Think I'll give this one a look.
Reminds me or Robotech.....or that show's origin...Macross.
Transforming planes that turn into giant robots piloted by humans.....
I'll never understand what purpose turning into a giant robot would serve in space...
I'll have to keep an eye on it
Looks interesting if a little rigid. Probably the closest we're going to get to an Omega Boost remake for some.... well, forever.
@Atheosis Superior stable and reactive firing platform! Also, rule of cool.
Really hoping the game turns out well. I get a lot of Project Slypheed vibes and I liked that game.

Design a new flag to be planted at the North Pole!
Este texto no ha sido traducido todavía
4 Diciembre 2012
WAGGGS and Greenpeace have launched a new global competition offering young people the chance to design a flag that will be planted at the North Pole.
The Flag for the Future competition was launched with a webinar on Monday 3 December.
Webinar participants watched an exclusive early broadcast of a new short film, "Northbound", and asked questions to Miryam Justo, a star of the film.
Flag for the Future is open to people in any country aged between 6 and 26 years.
Much more information, guidelines and flag templates are available at www.flagforthefuture.org .
The winning flag design will be chosen by a judging panel that includes world famous fashion designer and environmental advocate Vivienne Westwood.
That flag will be planted at the North Pole along with the names of millions of people who have signed the Save the Arctic petition to create a global sanctuary in the uninhabited Arctic sea.
Visit the Flag for the Future website
Webinar launch event
Peruvian Girl Scout Miryam Justo was one of two WAGGGS representatives who joined a voyage on the Arctic Sunrise icebreaker ship this July.
She was joined on board by Ghanaian Girl Guide Sena Blankson. Their amazing journey is the subject of the short film "Northbound", which can be viewed below.
Miryam hosted a Q&A session with participants from around the world, to launch Flag for the Future. Here are the interesting questions she was asked – and her sometimes surprising answers!
How was the Arctic? I have always wanted to visit!
The Arctic is fantastic. It is so bad to think that in perhaps 100 years polar bears will be gone if we ignore and keep polluting, destroying, etc.
I wish you all could have the same opportunity I had!
What was the best part of your trip?
IMPOSIBLE to pick one, it was an amazing experience. The Arctic is a majestic ecosystem. I had the opportunity to see wildlife like polar bears and Arctic birds. I met inspiring people.
Also, the people aboard the vessel are good people! I want to say a public hello, and thanks for having guests aboard while you are busy and working.
How did you feel after you got back and it was all over?
I was only thinking about on getting back to the Arctic Sunrise, and joining Greenpeace for another expedition.
What do you think was the most important thing you learned from actually going to the Arctic, that you didn't know about before and that you think is important to share?
I didn't know about Pyramiden, the settlement that is abandoned now.
It is important to know about it to make sure the world won't repeat that kind of things, pollution, etc. We need to take responsibility for our actions.
What surprised you most about your trip to the Arctic? Did you discover something you really hadn't expected?
There was not as much ice and snow as I was expecting.
Did you see any evidence of the melting ice?
My perception is that the area that is covered by snow is smaller now. You know, you read magazines, watch pictures... It was different.
What was the coldest temperature while you were there?
I guess minus 2 Celsius. Not something like minus 20 Celsius or that kind of thing you imagine. It was summer.
Did you go swimming!?
Nope! Hehehehehe kind of cold…
Did you get to try skiing while on the ice?
Yep! I tried, and, well... winter sports are not my strong points! It was fun though! And it was the first time for Sena to experience the snow! How cool is that?
Are there igloos there?
There are no igloos but there are icebergs – they are beautiful colours and different patterns and shades of blue, white, etc.
How did you sleep when you were there?
I shared a small cabin with Sena, a Girl Guide from Ghana. At first it was weird with the 24 hours of daylight.
What did you eat while you were there?
A nice mix of Indian and Danish food, fresh apples, tea, regular good food. And lots of potatoes – just like home!
How has this experience impacted on how you live your life today?
It impacted me in different ways. First, I learned that your childhood dreams can become real!
And also it has made me think of my own country and the changes in the climate patterns, and negative impacts such as loss of species – not only in Peru, but everywhere.
There are human settlements in the Arctic, north of Canada, Russia – I think of them too.
What do you think that we can do to save the Arctic while we are living in India (or any country)?
Raise awareness and educate young people, sign the Save the Arctic petition, avoid polluting...
Each person in each part of the globe can help; it is a combination of different actions on different scales that makes an overall difference.
Miryam, thank you very much for joining us and sharing your Arctic experience with everybody.
Thanks to everyone, especially to WAGGGS and Greenpeace. Join the competition! And remember that the Arctic is much more than just ice.
Watch "Northbound" here
This short documentary shows the incredible experience of Sena and Miryam, the Girl Guide and Girl Scout who joined an Arctic voyage with Greenpeace.

Everything looks strong. 2100+ next month!!!!
hell yeah!
grandfather mountain games b class
weather was almost perfect and i must admit it was pretty freakin sweet throwing on top of a mountain. had myself, hondo, butch, kyle, nate and trinity competing. i was hoping to at least make the top 10. the grass on the field was dead, dusty and matted down which caused a lot of problems for me footing wise. i felt like i was skating on ice all day
20lb open stone (clachnheart? sp?)
31'ish 2 inches behind 1st place - falling all over myself
56 dist 1 spin
23'10ish 1st place - around a 20 inch pr. watched videos of vierra and craig and had one short practice session trying to imitate a low starting position the day before and it worked great as i could actually use my hips! can't wait to actually use it without sliding around.
28 dist 1 spin
41'ish - absolutely **** my pants on this event. i was sliding even worse on this and couldn't recover. any amount of speed i could gain would throw me everywhere. the shortest i've ever thrown on this in competition, super disappointed and a bit embarassed
22lb hammer
58'ish - both feet sliding and coming up the whole time. bummed again
50deg 3rd - just still suck at this, no one got a turn on this caber. 100lbs and 18 or 19ft (i think)
56 over bar
11' no misses 1st place - started waiting on the weight to start down before i pulled and it felt so much better. thanks to the 100 people who have told me that already *doh*
only had the WOB towers so we started at 16 ft and went up in 6inch increments with no passes. went all the way up to 20'6 with only 1 miss out of 9 separate heights and was 2nd. was then suggested we stand 25ft away and go more for accuracy and i got dropped to a tie for 3rd.
overall finish was 2nd to nate and he was certainly the better thrower today, but i can't help but feel like i beat myself. cleats and blades soon! no more of this falling all over myself crap.
ME squat
raw to 325x3
briefs to 605x1
suit straps down
add wraps
805x2.87 started losing balance about 3in before lockout and dumped. really needed more people spotting on this one
few accessory sets and done
Nice 805 double!!
ME bench
raw to 275x2
shirt on
365x2 didn't move much
405x2 lil better
475x1 hovered at 2b height
2 board
500x2 sloppy but easy
3 board
550x2 easy
585x2 heavy but moved easy
joints were killed, took it easy on accessory. seems to be the case a lot
got some good advice from my last video so tried to work on them today. also threw with cleats for the first time today on the weights.
15lb stone
punches (braemar style)
most in 33'-34' range
add in the shuffle
most at 35' - still need to finish more forward over the trig
56 dist
1 spin - 3 around 23'
2 spin - 1 at 24 but i fell down a lot because i blocked myself off a lot.
will need to start at the back of the box for this. was starting about a foot and a half up from the back line and i was landing on the trig mock up.
30 dist
all 2 spins - 2 were between 49-50 feet others i blocked off or fell down. promising though!
just need more throws to get used to hitting positions in the right way and finishing turns.
ME squat
a good bit dehydrated and had a pretty nice tweak in my adductor longus from throwing 24 hours before. back was feeling the throws a lot too.
raw all the way up to ............ 145!
briefs to 555x1
suit on straps down
straps up
wraps on
855x2 moved well but wasn't super stable, probably a hair high too. back and adductor were culprits here
955x1 only about halfway straps were too tight and just didn't want to put my spotters in a bad spot.
real light accessory
feeling really beat up but i think it's more from outside training stress. gotta build a bridge and get the hell over it.
ME bench
i ate 2 egg sandwhiches today
raw to 315
455x1 touched and pressed real perty like
500 x2 2b then switched to 1b
5252b x1 missed 1b at lockout. egg sandwhich ran out on me
light tri accessory and upper back
stone put practice
Huge squats, really good to hit big numbers while feeling beat up.
pull day
did a few semi suited pulls with just the canvas suit
up to 605x1 off the floor easy and fast
weight on 3in blocks
705 stuck right at knee but pulled the immortal hell out of it trying to get above my knee but just didn't happen. do feel like i'll get this at the pro am
light ass.
ME squat
real humid in the gym today
raw to 235
briefs to 555x1
suit straps down
straps up
wraps on
865x1 deepth and popped up well
955x1 partial 3-4" high. wanted a double but mono person swung hooks in by mistake and hit the bar which about sent me backwards pretty fast.
did figure out something after this mediocre workout at least, a less strenuous and time consuming way to get out of my canvas suit.
close leg press
cramps 1x a couple minutes
Very solid squat numbers!!
How much difference would you say you squat straps down vs up?
ME bench
pretty beat up currently especially in the forearm region. both of them are hurting a good bit when gripping things with any real effort. laura told me tonight that it could actually be the same thing as shin splints but in the sheath of the radius and ulna instead. never heard of that before.
raw dog up to 315x2
405x2 nt
475x2 1b then touch both pressed well
cut off there to try and heal up, throwing some ice on them.
real easy recovery work
She may be right about the forearm pain. If the periosteum around the bone gets inflamed it can be painful. Plus everything in the forearm is surrounded by layers of tough connective tissue and fascia. Thus even a little inflammation and swelling compresses everything in that particular tissue layer since their isn't much room for expansion. I think it's just one of the things you have to deal with when lifting with equipment since it forces you to hold, support, and grip loads that you wouldn't have to handle as a raw lifter. Ice, rest, and occasional meds are about all you can do.

955x2 stopped at 2 inches high and had to hold it 5 seconds between reps because of a guy swinging the hooks in too early. felt great
light accessory

throwing on saturday
very happy with today
open stone, had some very good braemar style throws in the mid 30's. throw in the glide and i'm doing about the same with less consistency. still not finishing over the trig on the glide.
56 dist
got a few doubles on this but never had one finish opened up. wasn't falling over myself though.
28 dist
the work with the long 14 obviously did something. threw 3 or 4 in the mid 50's which is about 5-8 feet longer than normal. yay!
56 height
took a few spins and had one good one graze the bottom of a 13 ft line. encouraging
sheaf 20lb
had some great throws with this, around 25 feet. longer swing style and actually using my legs helps.
heavy hammer
using cleats was amazing with this, all throws were in the 60-70 range. crazy how keeping your feet on the ground helps throw.
pre-meet deloadedness
SSB squat up to 335 2x5 in the uno ply
bench up to 185x3 in the nude with random other light pumpage. bi's are now large and in charge so turkey's beware.
powerstation pro-am 2010 meet results
ended up bombing in the bench which is a pr for me, first bomb out in 3 years so i guess i was due. the previous 2 nights i had a tough time sleeping for various reasons, never felt like i was able to recover from the drive up here and i handled a friend all day friday when i should have been resting up.
lesson learned: sometimes you have to put yourself first, especially on a pro meet weekend.
all warm up s felt fine until my last one at 800 straps down, got a lil shaky.
1st 865 miss - set up too narrow and was generally weak out of the bottom
2nd 865 good - went a lil slower than it should but didn't kill me
3rd 900 miss - piss weak
all warm ups were solid
1st 485 miss - went back over face too fast
2nd 485 miss - pressed but got called for butt coming up
3rd 485 miss - just out of gas
nobody to blame but myself, had extremely high caliber lifters brian, adam, clint and mark helping me and they did all they could for me but it just didn't happen for me today. now for off season training and to have fun throwing!

Tony Parker says on French radio station he will play in Game 1
Jun 3, 2014, 1:01 PM EDT
Technology has shrunk the globe. The days of being able to say things in one market and not have the rest of the world know about it are gone (although some politicians seems slow on the uptake).
As example 1A I bring you Tony Parker — the basketball world wants to know if the Spurs point guard is ready to go for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday in San Antonio. He sat out the second half of Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals with a sprained ankle.
Parker did a radio interview in his native France and answered that very question. It didn't take long before Dan McCarney had Parkers' words up the San Antonio Express News — and yes he is playing.
"I twisted my ankle in Game 4 of the first round against Dallas. I continued to play with the pain and I again twisted the ankle in Game 4 of the conference finals against Oklahoma City. I gritted my teeth; I did not mean to abandon my teammates. But the pain was too strong in the sixth game. I could not really play anymore.
"Today, I spend my days in treatment. But the good news is that I will play the first game of the Finals on Thursday against the Heat. I may not be 100% but I'll be there. In 13 years, I played seven conference finals and I have the chance to play my fifth Finals with Spurs. This is really great. I continue my dream, this is really something great."
Just how effective Parker ends up being will matter — he is the key to their offensive engine. Patty Mills and Corey Joseph can step in for a stretch, Manu Ginobili can run the offense for a while, but the Spurs really need Parker to run the offense. San Antonio needs him to abuse Chris Bosh as he comes off a pick and get into the paint, the Spurs need to work inside out.
We'll see how explosive Parker looks Thursday night.
- brookwell2013 - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:36 PM
Anybody out there really think Parker was not going to play in Game????? "Course he's gonna go.
- aboogy123456 - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:46 PM
it's not about whether or not he plays, it's about how effective he is. For the first couple games in last year's finals, he was unstoppable, but then he pulled his hamstring and still played, but was ineffective. Parker's health is a huge factor in this series, and it seems like he's getting injured so often these days.
- antistratfordian - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:35 PM
Parker wasn't "unstoppable" in the first couple of games last year. He played well in Games 1 and 5, but averaged 12 pts on 33% in all the other games. In Game 2 he was -27 in +/- (13 pts on 14 shots, 35% FG).
- finsfan71 - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:48 PM
Not only is he going to play but he's probably gonna be 99.9% ready to go. What athlete in their right mind advertises a potential weakness in their game?
- cantonb0und13 - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:47 PM
Why is there so many reports on Tony Parker about his ankle? Parker is going to be fine, he got 5 days off to rest.
- jollyjoker2 - Jun 3, 2014 at 10:11 PM
well, at least he didn't surrender.

PokerStars seeks court order to buy AC casino
Monday - 5/6/2013, 4:41pm EDT
Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- The behind-the-scenes battle between an Internet poker giant and the struggling Atlantic City casino it wants to buy burst into the open Monday, with a court order, accusations of bad faith, and the revelation of an eye-poppingly low sale price.
The Rational Group, which owns PokerStars, went to court in New Jersey on Monday and got a temporary restraining order barring The Atlantic Club from selling itself to anyone else. Last week, The Atlantic Club declared that the deal for PokerStars to buy the casino was dead, but has declined to comment further.
In its court papers, PokerStars also revealed for the first time just how cheaply it plans to acquire the casino: $15 million. That is $5 million less than the previous low price that a California company had offered for Trump Plaza before that deal fell apart last month, and would be -- by far -- the lowest price ever paid for a casino in Atlantic City.
In applying for the restraining order, PokerStars argued that it has given The Atlantic Club $11 million of the $15 million purchase price. But in return, PokerStars claims, The Atlantic Club wants to kill the deal and receive an additional $4 million as a termination fee.
"Should Rational comply with this demand, Rational would have paid the entire purchase price and received exactly nothing in return," the company wrote in its court papers.
They also said The Atlantic Club demanded an additional $6 million to extend the sale contract for another 10 days -- during which they would still be free to seek a better offer from someone else. Rational said it offered to pay the remaining $4 million in return for extending the sale contract until approval could be obtained from New Jersey casino regulators, but that The Atlantic Club's owners, Los Angeles-based Colony Capital LLC, declined.
Rational also says it paid more than $224,000 to start work on a poker club inside the casino, and on upgrades elsewhere within it.
In February, New Jersey legalized Internet gambling.
"It is likely that the defendants believe that in light of this development they can now sell The Atlantic Club to another buyer while keeping the $11 million paid to them by Rational, which made it possible for The Atlantic Club to continue operating throughout the tough winter season, The Rational Group wrote in its court papers.
Officials from The Atlantic Club and Colony Capital declined comment Monday.
"The Rational Group has funded Atlantic Club shortfalls throughout the winter season since October 2012, preventing its bankruptcy and the loss of over 1,800 jobs," said Eric Hollreiser, a spokesman for PokerStars. "The Rational Group remains entirely committed to resolving this situation, and to its investment in New Jersey, while it continues to diligently work on completing the required licensing process."
The transaction had been seen as mutually beneficial because the casino has struggled for years near the bottom of Atlantic City's 12 casinos in terms of revenue and profitability. And the deal would give PokerStars a much-sought-after on-ramp to the lucrative online gambling market expected to develop in New Jersey, one of three states with legalized Internet gambling, along with Nevada and Delaware.
New Jersey casino regulators have been examining the Rational Group's application to buy a casino, but no decision was imminent.
The parties' deal to finalize a purchase of the casino by April 26 did not take into account how long it might take to assemble and submit the many documents and exhibits necessary to win approval from the Casino Control Commission, which was considered to still be months away from an examination of whether the Rational Group would qualify for a casino license in New Jersey.
An important part of what they would eventually have to consider is the company's history of taking bets in the U.S. before it was explicitly legal. It was one of three companies targeted by the U.S. Justice Department in 2011 in a crackdown on then-illegal Internet gambling that came to be known in the poker community as "Black Friday."
The Rational Group agreed last year to pay $547 million to the Justice Department and $184 million to poker players overseas to settle a case alleging money laundering, bank fraud and illegal gambling. It admitted no wrongdoing, and says it is in good standing with governments around the world.
That situation was expected to pose a difficult hurdle to the company's efforts to win licensing from New Jersey casino regulators, and the trade association representing the nation's brick and mortar casinos strongly opposes the deal. The American Gaming Association applied to intervene in PokerStars' licensing hearing, wanting to argue against the proposed purchase.

Coach Bruce Boudreau's shortened debut season with the Anaheim Ducks was good enough to keep him around for a whole lot longer. The Ducks signed Boudreau to a two-year contract extension Thursday, locking up their respected coach through the 2014-15 season. Anaheim rewarded Boudreau for reviving the struggling Ducks after he replaced Stanley Cup-winning coach Randy Carlyle, who was fired Nov. 30. The Ducks went 27-23-8 under Boudreau, compiling one of the NHL's best records after the All-Star break. ''This team, we've just started going where we want to go,'' Boudreau said. ''If we had started a little bit earlier, anything could have happened. These playoff teams, we competed with all these teams, going tooth and nail.'' After a lifetime spent mostly on the East Coast, the Toronto native is finally getting used to California's sunshine and warmth as well. ''It's certainly nice waking up every morning,'' Boudreau said with a chuckle. ''Being an East Coast guy my whole life, I d...

Telematics Update: 51% of Insurance Policies are Predicted to Use PHYD (Pay How Your Drive) by 2020
Telematics Update´s Insurance Telematics Report has revealed that 85% of insurance and telematics senior-level executives predict that by 2020 51% of all suitable policies will be using pay how you drive technologies (PHYD).
(PRWEB) January 09, 2013
Telematics Update: During research for the Insurance Telematics Report 2013 Edition, Telematics Update conducted an industry wide survey of 1300 senior-level insurance and telematics executives to get their expert insight into winning insurance telematics business models. Executives were asked to predict the success of models such as Pay How You Drive (PHYD), Manage How Your Drive (MHYD) and Pay As You Drive (PAYD) to enable insurers and telematics companies to make strategic investment decisions when forming their strategies to access this burgeoning market in 2013 and beyond.
Ruthana Foulkes, Insurance Telematics Project Director, Telematics Update stresses the importance of formulating an insurance telematics strategy now, whether insurer or telematics company, in order to become a key player in this space. "Telematics is about to drastically alter the insurance market. We need to establish which business models, whether that be PHYD or PAYD, will generate the biggest ROI for insurers and the rest of the ecosystem can align their strategies accordingly. With players like Zurich, Wunelli and Progressive leading the way, it´s only a matter of time before others jump on board and make the most of this new opportunity for partnerships and revenue streams".
Telematics Update´s brand new 85 page report for 2013 gives insurers and telematics companies the chance to get a clear picture of exactly what´s happening in the insurance telematics industry. Detailed analysis includes the following topics:
- Market forecasts for the next 10 years: Find out when insurance telematics products and services will reach mass consumer uptake to adjust timelines to take the lead in the North America and European markets
- Prepare for gender legislation: Learn to adapt business models for telematics, as gender can no longer determine insurance premiums, to improve revenue in 2013 and beyond
- Business model case studies: Insight from Discovery Insure, Liberty Mutual and Wunelli determine whether PAYD, MHYD and PHYD will deliver the biggest ROI for insurers to make strategic investment decisions
- How to form partnerships: Understand data collection models and how this will determine which parts of the ecosystem from insurers, telematics providers, wireless carriers and OEMs need to collaborate for the biggest ROI
- Overcome data privacy concerns: Discover how customers can be incentivized to share their data to generate the biggest ROI from insurance telematics products and services
In addition to the survey results, the finding of the report has been supported by expert peer reviews. Tony Lovick, Senior Consultant, Towers Watson, said: "This report gives the broadest picture to date of everything that is going on in the insurance telematics world. I recommend this report to insurance telematics executives seeking to inform their future business strategies and investments."
The complimentary executive summary available to download via the website: http://www.telematicsupdate.com/insurance-report/index.php
Telematics Update has also advised that there is a $1,000 launch discount available on the report until Friday 25th January. The report can be purchase via the website:

Lockheed, ICCO to Invest $15 Million in Romania, Mediafax Says
June 7 (Bloomberg) -- Lockheed Martin Corp., the world's largest defense company, plans to invest about $15 million with a Romanian company in a renewable energy project in the eastern European country, Mediafax reported.
The two companies want to install photovoltaic panels in an industrial park in the city of Brasov and create the country's "first smart grid" private project, the Bucharest-based news service said, citing Calin Costan, the chairman of ICCO Group, the Romanian company involved in the project.

This morning, the market was bullish about Electronic Arts. A poll of analysts taken by Thomson Financial predicted the world's biggest third-party publisher would report over $896 million in earnings for the three months ending September 30, 2007. However, shortly after the closing bell rang on Wall Street, the Redwood City, California-based publisher reported just $640 million in revenue during its second fiscal quarter--a massive 18 percent year-on-year decline.
Though technically accurate, the shortfall stems from a change in EA's accounting practices which will see $296 million in revenue from "certain online-enabled games" not being reported until unspecified "future periods." If included, the figure would have boosted EA's quarterly earnings to over $936 million--significantly above analysts' estimates.
"Our strategic priorities on quality, innovation and managing cost are showing progress," said EA CEO John Riccitiello in a statement. "Highly accessible new properties like Skate and MySims have broken through with consumers and EA Sports continues to deliver great experiences on every platform."
As one might expect in the July-September quarter, EA Sports' biggest hitters were on the gridiron and soccer pitch. American football favorite Madden NFL 08 sold 4.5 million copies on all platforms, and FIFA 08 just missed the 3 million-unit mark. In nonsports sales, EA said MySims sold over 1 million units internationally, but did not provide figures for Skate. According to the latest NPD report, the 360 version of the game sold 175,000 copies in the US after its September 14 debut.
Overall, EA said it sold $399 million worth of games for what it is now officially referring to as "current-generation consoles"--the Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. In particular, it touted the fact it is the top third-party Wii publisher in North America and Europe, where it has a respective 12 percent and 13 percent market share. In a postreport conference call, EA announced it now considers the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 "legacy systems" and said revenue from the platforms had sunk 50 percent from the prior year. On the handheld front, Jenson said North American DS revenue had tripled from the same period in 2006.
Riccitiello also alluded to the "routine" layoffs EA confirmed last week. "We've also announced a restructuring as part of a plan to better align cost with revenues," he said. The 24-month plan will cost EA between $90 million and $110 million, but will result in around $25 million to $30 million in annual savings.
In a conference call with investors, EA CFO Warren Jenson said that roughly 350 employees would be let go in all. Hardest hit by the plan will be EA's Chertsey office in the UK, which will be closed down in the coming months.
For its full 2008 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2008, EA expects $3.35 billion and $3.65 billion in revenue, an increase of $150 million over its previous prediction. For the current quarter--which includes major EA titles such as Crysis and Mass Effect--the company expects to reap between $1.325 billion and $1.575 billion in sales.

This application claims the benefit of priority of Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/267,468, filed Feb. 9, 2001, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to communication terminals and the provision of software thereto, particularly, although not exclusively, operating system and application software.
Conventionally, communication terminals and in particular mobile terminals such as those telephony devices intended for connection to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) have been delivered to an end user with a fully functioning operating system and applications such as calendar, calculator and the like already installed. The installation of such software on a terminal requires the manufacturer to perform exhaustive, expensive and often time consuming checks into the licensing conditions and copyright and other digital rights applicable to the software. Without such licensing and clearance activity the manufacturer is open to severe liability risks. Such risks will also arise where such activity is not properly or incompletely executed.
Accordingly, one aspect of the invention provides a software delivery apparatus, comprising a controller connectable to a terminal and responsive to a request therefrom for software, and a terminal emulator operable in accordance with a configuration of said terminal to validate said software prior to delivery to said terminal.
Thus, a terminal may be supplied to a user in a so-called thin implementation, that is with a set of software sufficient to permit the user to connect to the apparatus and carry out basic operations including the ability to request additional software. Advantageously, this permits a terminal manufacturer to restrict the implementation of software on its terminal to that which has been checked and determined to have no potential liability to the manufacturer. It is thus the responsibility of the terminal user to enter into appropriate agreements to obtain any additional software required for the user's terminal. Clearly, the enhancement of a terminal from a thin implementation to a so-called thick implementation by the addition of further elements to that terminal is applicable to many forms of terminal and network topographies. Thus, a mobile communication handset could be enhanced in this manner via a PLMN acting as the access network for an ASP capable of delivering the desired elements. Equally, a Set Top Box (STB) intended for viewing television could be supplied in a thin implementation to a user who could then elect to enhance its capabilities such as to allow interaction with particular content. In this case the access network could be provided by a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) providing the return channel between the STB and the content provider working in tandem with a digital video broadcast (DVB) network over which content is delivered to the STB.
To reduce the possibility of newly acquired software causing operational difficulties to the terminal, the apparatus is capable of emulating a particular software configuration of the terminal. Advantageously, the terminal provides configuration information in tandem with the request for software.
Such information may be utilized by the apparatus to generate an emulation specific to that particular terminal. The network connection to the apparatus also permits the derivation from a manufacturer of information relevant to a particular terminal which information could effect the operation of the terminal. Such information could relate to known problems or upgrades to the terminal not otherwise available from the terminal itself.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of delivering software to a terminal, comprising receiving a request for software from said terminal, sourcing said software, emulating said terminal and validating said software against said emulation prior to delivering said software to said terminal.
The method may be executed by an application service provider (ASP) independent of the terminal manufacturer or indeed the network operator of the terminal making the request. However, where terminal configuration information is available to a network operator, perhaps because the terminal is newly delivered to the user, a default ASP having details of initial terminal configurations may be set by the operator to which all such initial requests for software are directed. This would avoid the need for the terminal or more particularly the presence of software on the terminal necessary to provide configuration information to the ASP.
Subsequently, if permitted by the operator and assuming the relevant software was present on the terminal the user could contact any ASP for further software.It will also be apparent that the method could be employed by the network operator itself.
In addition, the method may include carrying out an initial assessment of the software request to determine whether the software is appropriate for delivery with regard to the present configuration of the terminal making the request.
Depending on the outcome, it may be possible to suggest to the user of the terminal what additional software, if any, should be requested to allow his original request to be met. Such a step would provide a useful initial filter to avoid unnecessary failures during the subsequent terminal emulation step. As such it adds to the confidence of a user of the terminal that the software that is requesting will function correctly and perhaps more importantly not damage or otherwise adversely effect the existing operation of his terminal.
Finally, in respect of a still further aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for delivering software to a terminal comprises a controller having a connection to an access network through which a terminal issues a request for delivery of software, at least one software provider from whom said software is sourced by said controller and terminal emulation means operable in accordance with a configuration of said terminal to validate said software prior to delivery to said terminal.
The software provider may be co-located with the controller in the sense that the software required by the user is sourced locally or from specified providers. This could be the case where the terminal forms part of a network in which its uses will be tightly constrained by the provider. For example, an operator of a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) network may wish to restrict the delivery of enhanced interactivity components for its STBs to its own products for compatibility and/or commercial reasons.
Alternatively, the user of a mobile terminal may wish to be free to install whatever software that the user chooses in which case the software provider could be selected on the basis of cost, for example, from a database of providers kept updated by the operator of the controller. Thus, the user is provided with a valuable opportunity to personalise his terminal.
In order to understand the present invention more fully, an embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
In addition to the elements making up the thin implementation of the terminal 1, sufficient additional memory and processing capacity exists to permit further elements to be added to the terminal 1 in a manner which will be described below, thereby enhancing the functionality of the terminal.
Such elements may include an additional operating system 11, middle layer software 13 such as a modem application programming interface (API), Java (trade-mark) native interface 15 and graphics 17, a Java (trade-mark) virtual machine 19 within a Java (trade mark) implementation 21. A further API 23 provides a foundation for further applications 25. A Java (trade-mark) browser 27 may also be included.
A terminal 1 is manufactured and supplied to a user in a thin implementation. Thus, the user is provided with the basic functionality necessary to allow establishment of a connection 29 to a network 31 with which the user has a service agreement. Once connected to the network 31, the native browser 9 permits the user to access an Application Service Provider (ASP) 33 capable of supplying additional elements of the terminal architecture to the connected terminal 1. The terminal manufacturer or network operator may predefine the selection of the ASP. Alternatively or perhaps additionally, the user may be free to select a desired ASP.
Once the terminal 1 has accessed the ASP 33, a request 35 from a user for an element of the terminal architecture is transmitted over the network 31. In addition to identifying the desired element or elements, the request contains information setting out the current configuration of the terminal architecture. The ASP receives the request and either creates or updates a user profile 37 for that terminal 1 which may be supplemented by information provided by a manufacturer and/or network operator of the terminal 1. Such additional information could, in the case of the manufacturer relate to software versions relevant to particular terminals which data may be too lengthy or sensitive to store in the terminal 1 itself. The additional information provided by the operator could identify the services the user subscribes to which might have a bearing on the desirability or otherwise of certain elements of the terminal architecture. Such services might, for example, require the presence of a particular browser or application to access interactive content over a broadband digital broadcast network. In order that the ASP 33 may correctly correlate such additional information with a request 35 from a particular terminal 1 to which it is relevant, some form of identifier common to both the terminal 1 and the additional information would be required. This might take the form of a serial number or IPv6 address range, for example.
The ASP 33 may also analyze the profile 37 and determine from that analysis whether the selected element is appropriate in view of the existing configuration of that terminal. For example, the ASP 33 could recognize that the delivery of a Java (trade-mark) browser 27 is inappropriate where the terminal I is in a thin condition due to the absence of the intermediate software layers. A database 45 holding details of software elements corresponding to the different requirements of various terminals provides the ASP 33 with the ability to identify what elements are required to achieve certain terminal configurations. The database also maintains a list of provider addresses where such elements may be sourced. Such a list will be updated regularly to reflect changes in availability and cost to the ASP 33. A response could then be made by the ASP 33 to the terminal 1 indicating that the request cannot be validated and suggesting the delivery of the appropriate additional elements of the layers necessary to support the desired element.
Once the request has 35 has been received, the user profile 37 determined and the request validated against the profile, the ASP 33 commences sourcing of the desired element or elements subject to any restriction in place from the user profile 37 and in accordance with provider address provided by the database 45.
Thus, the ASP 33 contacts via the Internet 39 one or more software providers 41 and 43. In the event that the desired element is open source or otherwise free of royalty constraints an appropriate provider 41 should deliver the element to the ASP 33. On the other hand, where a payment is required for supply of the desired element, this will be negotiated between the ASP 33 and the provider 43 with the ASP 33 eventually remitting the cost to the terminal user through a suitable mechanism, credit card payment, billing to the user's network operator are some examples.
The new element supplied to the ASP 33 by the provider 41 and 43 is not 20 immediately delivered to the terminal 1 but is placed 47 into a cache 49 forming part of a terminal emulation environment 51. The element is held within the cache 49 whilst an emulation controller 53 requests 55 the user profile 37 appropriate to the terminal 1 for which the element is destined. Details of the profile 37 are returned 57 to the controller 53. Whereupon, the controller 53 generates a request 59 which is received by a store 61 holding a plurality of software blocks at least some of which, in response to the request 59, may be built up into an emulation of the terminal 1 as defined by the profile 37. These blocks are delivered 63 from the store 61 to a emulation space 65 where the emulation is built following which the new element is copied 67 from the cache 49 to the emulation space 65 in a manner analogous to the delivery method by which the element should eventually reach the terminal 1. The controller 53 is then able to carry out diagnostic checks on the emulation within the space 65 with a view to validating the proposed terminal configuration. Assuming the tests are successful the new element may be delivered via the access network to the terminal where its is installed. Otherwise, the ASP 33 will, in response to a failure during validation, indicate to the terminal that the new element has not been validated with the present terminal configuration together with an indication of the reason for non-validation. Where appropriate, the ASP 33 may suggest possible options which could be carried out in relation to the present terminal configuration to allow validated delivery of the element.

Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on Friday took a dig at "anti-Modi" comments, saying "anti-Modism is no longer merely a political philosophy. It is also commerce."
In a post on Facebook, Mr. Jaitley said: "An important publication which was used in the past for more than a decade to carry on anti-Modi campaign appears to be collapsing under the weight of its own immorality.
"A large number of NGOs with invisible funding which had made a living out of keeping anti-Modi litigation alive in courts have not so far succeeded in bringing out any material evidence against him….. Some of these websites are making a mountain of what is not even a molehill. The dirty tricks department of the Congress continues to commercially flourish."
His reactions come close on the heels of a sting, 'Operation Blue Virus,' carried out by Cobrapost that claims I.T. companies are misusing social media to artificially boost politicians' popularity and are working for the BJP.
