Play$tation 4: Sony announces the PS4 won't be sold at loss

When Sony built the PS3, it pulled out all the stops. The console had a custom-built processor based on a new architecture that IBM, Sony, and Toshiba jointly invested $400 million in developing. It packed a new-then (for 2005) Blu-ray drive, full backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 2, 256MB of high-speed custom XDR RAM, and a formidable I/O controller for keeping all the various components conversing with each other. Even the PSU — an integrated, low-profile 400W unit — was a slick piece of engineering.
By 2005 standards, the PS3 was incredible — and it lost money like a sieve leaks water. iSuppli estimated that Sony lost $306.85 on every single low-end ($499) PS3 it sold, with the high-end, $599 SKU costing the company $241.35. It took Sony nearly four years to start making money on the PS3's hardware, a fact the company has been anxious to avoid this time around.
The expectation to date was that Sony and Microsoft would both try to shrink their per-unit losses to something more manageable, but would still carry a balance in the red, at least on early versions. Now, it seems that's not going to happen. During Sony's earnings call, CFO Masaru Kato stated:
Unlike PS3, we are not planning a major loss to be incurred with the launch of PS4. At the time we developed PS3, we made a lot of in-house investments to develop the chip, the Cell chip… This time, yes we have a team working on chip development, but we already have existing technology to incorporate and also product investment and all the facilities will now be invested by our partners, other foundries, so we don't have to make all the investment in-house.
This turns conventional wisdom on its head. Historically, only Nintendo has focused on shipping console hardware as profitable from day one, and the company broke that rule when it built the Wii U. Granted, Sony hasn't said it'll make money on the PlayStation 4, and the sheer size of the PS3's losses early on means that the company could cut the figure way down and still claim victory. Still, it's worth asking what makes the PS4 and PS3 so very different.
The cost contenders
Let's compare the PS3's most expensive component prices in 2006 and again in 2009…
Total cost of the listed parts in 2006 comes out to $477 before accounting for the power supply, hard drive, enclosure, additional cooling, wireless, wired networking, controllers, or the "Other" category (defined as $148 in 2006). By 2009, Sony had sharply reduced a number of these costs. The total number of components in the system had fallen to 2,568 from 4048 at launch and the PSU was down to 220W, from 400W.
For a visual representation of the difference, consider the PS3's original motherboard against the 2011 PS3 Slim edition (latter pictures courtesy of iFixit).
And the PS3 slim:

Why PlayStation become Play$tation?
I'm sorry but I really didn't expect to see something so unprofessional here like fan boys.
https://plus.google.com/105944874245727402538 Buzz Dengue
I agree… textural font sarcasm, non-grata… ; (
Joel Hruska
That was actually a compliment, not a fanboy insult.
Look, Sony took a bath on the PS3. I think it's clear that while I recognize the technical accomplishment of the hardware, it wasn't a great investment.
And I think — I *hope* — they don't make that mistake again.
The run-up to the PS3 launch was filled with executives arrogantly dismissing Microsoft & Nintendo. They deliberately made the device hard to program, and when asked about price, Ken Kutaragi said the PS3 was cheap at $600 and that Sony wanted people to think 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."
The use of the "$" was meant to reflect a difference in finances. And to be honest, yes, I think Sony is doing a lot of things right this time around. Things they didn't do before. And recognizing that isn't the same as saying ZOMG MS SUCKS.
Basil Nolan
Without proper explanation, everyone reading that title will relate it to greedy M$.
Neon Frank
Sorry for the going off subject but I never understood this "M$" as Microsoft being "greedy" when Apple unquestionably is the supreme master of profit.
Apple maintains its tree hugger hipster image while at the same time its the poster child of corporate greed which is amazing as usually it takes religion to explain such contractions…wait
Basil Nolan
Actually, even I know Microsoft is below the Apple standards when greed comes into play. Just using an expression everyone knows to make my point.
Neon Frank
Oh ok, cheers

Title of the story is wrong, "no major loss" != "no loss".
Andrew torres
Tho the original CECH01 model and the ones after were sold at a loss, I think Sony is jumping into Next-gen way to fast. The PS3 was a damn well built machine(minus YLOD models) that offered to be an entertainment system at the heart of a home. Its done exactly that from the beginning I got mine in 2006. It's morphed into a provider of netflix, amazon, and steadily providing old school games to its PSN network.. I think the PS3 and Xbox 360 have another 5yrs in em before we jump to Next Gen. What I found astounding when first announced was that Cell Processor, tho hard to develop for according to many top companies. I thought Sony would have developed something in house and made it cost effective to seperate itself from the rest just like the PS3…but hey Next Gen is here and we have no choice to go along with the flow.
Well you don't have to buy the Xbox Infinity or PS4 if you don't want to. Wait 5 years – or longer if you want.
http://www.facebook.com/andy.milenovic Andy Milenovic
With console sales on the decline they decided to push ahead and release the new consoles. Most people said it would be a 10 year life cycle, but the industry, customers and mobile gaming cut that short. In my opinion both current gen consoles are amazing, I never understood the reason behind the fanboy battles. It comes down to a preference in the end. I've owned both at one point and chances are I might end up owning both of the next gen in the years to come.
It says "NO MAJOR LOSS", which is NOT the same as NO LOSS, that means they will still lose money, just not as much as before…
Glad I could help you with your problem of lacking the minimum of processing power required to run the app "Common Sense"
Unrelated to this post but I'm hoping the ps4 sells well so there will be competition for the Xbox. And, I'm hoping the wii u crashes and burns so that nintendo will start making 3rd party games for other consoles. =D
http://www.facebook.com/seth.jones.900 Seth Jones
So you hope a company goes under so they will bring games to the console of your choice rather then you going out and buying a WII U. That will not happen, even if the WII U does not sell gangbusters, Nintendo can weather the storm until next generation. You Sony fanboys and Xbots crack me up how you talk mess about Nintendo's consoles but then hope they will crumble so you can play their incredible games on your twin consoles.
http://www.facebook.com/eric.degrechie.3 Eric Degrechie
Not gonna happen. Give up this pipe dream.
So basically we're getting less for our money this time round.
The only benefit to consumers is that these new consoles should at least be a bit more reliable.
Joel Hruska
"So basically we're getting less for our money this time round."
I disagree. And I dug into this topic quite a bit back in 2010 when I wrote a story on PS3 supercomputing for a different website.
Here's what you need to understand — Cell was *very* difficult to program.Sony's initial resources for PS3 development were terrible. So developers walking into the project had the unified PPE and six fragile SPE's that have to be used in extremely specific ways.
What that meant in the real world is that while the chip had huge amounts of performance on paper, it took years for programmers to figure out how to tap that performance in the real world. SPE's aren't like x86 multiprocessors; you can't just hand Cell thread assignments and expect the OS to handle the heavy lifting of executing them optimally.
If you bought a PS3 in 2006, you bought a piece of equipment that wasn't being used optimally until 2008 – 2009. And that was Sony's *plan.*
From Kaz Hirai himself: "We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" explained Hirai.
I prefer to buy a console in 2013 that developers can quickly and easily tap. I prefer a console that invites developers to innovate on gameplay rather than forcing them to jump through development hoops to find out if what they want to do is even possible on the underlying hardware.
Maybe you feel differently. But I don't think you're getting less. I think you'll be getting more of what you paid for, right up front.
Where is choijin with his none sense comments about AMD'S cheap APU? Hurray he is not here!!!
Lol and how everything is a scam.
LOL I was going to suggest starting a club of people trolling chojin, but it's just too easy, like taking candy from a baby. It's so tempting to just make fun of every comment he makes, but it would take too long and then I'd feel kinda bad for picking on the mentally handicapped…
One can't help it with his comments on AMD'S cheap APU'S and how everything is a scam, I mean what the hell does this guy wants? Does he need or thinks everyone need a Watson computer and for what? to play call of duty and check FB?
I forgot that one! LOL
LMAO!! I was just thinking the same thing! I was just making fun of him in the comments for yesterdays article on Western Digitals new hybrid drives, he's probably too busy getting worked up about that… Funny stuff….
That was you the guess? I feel sry for poor chojin. I agree reading chojins comments kills neurons. Dajsufhjkjh cheap apu's Damn you chojin!!

In his defense, AMD's Jaguar chips are meant to compete with Intel's Atom processors and we all know how "good" those chips are in terms of raw performance.
http://www.facebook.com/garrison.shields Garrison Shields
Compete with does not necessarily mean performs like.
We will see soon enough, even if it doesn't perform like but come close to and its cheaper I'll call it a win.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1223563048 Angel Ham
Considering that AMD has been laggin on the CPU performance behind Intel for two years in a row.. Colour me skeptical until the units start shipping.
http://www.facebook.com/tariq.mahmood.14224 Tariq Mahmood
Intel is way behind than AMD …lets talk about all the crap Intel failed at, and AMD released first. Intel Itanium was pretty much made obsolete by AMD coming out with a much superior X86 workstation and server processor using integrated memory controller which Intel now copies. Intel Larabee never made it to the market of course. AMD introduced first 64-bit processors, which Intel now uses AMD's 64-bit patents, because Intel's sucked. AMD launches first dual core and native quad core CPU. AMD pushed the APU market, which Intel copied.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1223563048 Angel Ham
I'm a Nintendo fan but damn, you're riding hard on nostalgia.
AMD's biggest foe is not Intel but AMD itself. It's been plagued by an awful mismanagement for years and only until recently has begun to actually perform decently.
Joel Hruska
Jaguar will decisively outperform current Atom. It will compete with Intel's upcoming Bay Trail.
How fast are eight Jaguar cores? Not as fast as eight Haswell cores — but quite possibly "fast enough." Well-threaded software will be a necessity.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1223563048 Angel Ham
Are you hinting something you can't explain yet because of an NDA?
http://www.facebook.com/garrison.shields Garrison Shields
It's no secret that Intel's single thread performance stomps anything that AMD has done for a number of years now. However, AMD has put their eggs in the basket that a greater number of functional cores will allow for properly coded applications to run better. It's a difference of design philosophy, if you will, from Intel. Since AMD is going to be in all of the next-gen consoles, this gives AMD some very big leverage in a ubiquitous market to put software developers on the same page as them. It's a win-win for AMD, because the need for low-power and low-heat in a console plays well to their multicore philosophy whereas big clocks and freaky fast threads are the sole territory for a desktop processor to thrive in. That also means heat.
This upcoming console generation will be fascinating to watch unfold in this respect. Could AMD desktop processors gain an advantage from software developers being intimately aware of their architectures? Remember, these consoles will be running apps as well as games. The repurcussions of this are pretty large.
Joel Hruska
I would swing that around a bit and focus specifically on the low power market. If you limit your comparison to Atom and Brazos, AMD has actually led the single-threaded performance market (Atom's single-threaded performance, without HT enabled, is really, really, *really* bad).
Bobcat and Jaguar are small-scale CPUs with short pipelines and dual-issue decoders. Bulldozer is a deeply-pipelined design that targets higher clock speed and shares a lot of front-end logic.
Coding for Jaguar should be a lot like coding for Brazos, but it's not much at all like coding for Bulldozer. With Bulldozer getting a pretty major makeover in the next 9 months, we'll have to see what the next round of parts looks like.

That's fascinating stuff, and it makes me glad I have stayed on the fence about upgrading my gaming PC. It's becoming a dinosaur, but I've wanted to see the 700 series cards from NVidia first. I might hold out (but only a couple months) to see if I can get proper GDDR4 support before taking the plunge on a new system.

That's a reasonable interpretation.Consider it more of a hint about Jaguar's general performance than the PS4 in particular.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1223563048 Angel Ham
I hope so. It is disheartening to feel like Sony went from something that could compete with a first-gen i7 to two tablet processors glued together.
On the positive side we'll finally see games that use more than one or two cores.

Intel atom chip dosent have any power to run even flash games Atoms are only design for playing super mario . you people getting feed from Intel if your system dosent play any latest game then its your problem …

On the bright side, a netbook powered by an Intel Atom chip doesn't double as a leg warmer like their AMD counterparts do.
Interesting… so you think that game graphics won't improve much with the next generation? As they're already easy to program for, I guess that doesn't leave much room for optimization?
I'm just a bit disappointed with the power of the PS4, I was hoping for a real leap in graphics, maybe some ray-tracing or more photorealism. Still, I'll hold off judgement until I actually play a game on a big 1080p screen.
Joel Hruska
". so you think that game graphics won't improve much with the next generation?"
Let me answer you this way. http://noble-press.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Featured6.jpg
Look at Colonel Shepherd's evolution from ME1 to ME3. I'm going to give you a few more comparison shots. Here's a good article showing ME1 vs. ME2 on the Xbox 360:
Here's what I think is going to happen, adjusted for whether you're a console or a PC gamer.
If you're a console gamer, the new consoles are going to blow your socks off. The Xbox 360 and PS3's GPUs are based on DX9-era technology. GCN is a *huge* upgrade.
I truly hate to rely on GFLOPs, but the Xbox 360 hit 77, the PS3 hit 277. The Xbox Infinity should break 1 TFLOP, with the PS4 at 1.8TFLOP. And this time around, the two consoles are actually far more comparable to each other.
Will games continue to get better over time? They will. The hope is that many of the same optimizations that work for GCN on the Xbox Infinity will work for GCN on the PS4. Even if implemented differently, console developers won't have to create two entirely different ways of doing things for the same game. (The PS3 and Xbox 360 both run BF3, but they run it in completely different ways).
What if you're a PC gamer?
Expect two things.
1) Games are going to get prettier again. It's no accident that PC visuals started leaping ahead in 2011-2012 — I've seen developers talking about taking on more DX11 work as a means of getting familiar with the next-gen of hardware. Nevertheless, the majority of work goes into getting titles console ready.
Now that consoles are back on design parity with PCs, the impetus is to push for detail levels that target the console sweet spot — which means the PC won't just be an afterthought.
2) I expect console games to be on parity with PC titles. If you go back and pull the old reviews of Xbox 360 / PS3 games, you'll find that the triple platform launches in 2005 – 2007 were at parity between the platforms. The PC might not have had an advantage, but it wasn't behind the curve.
There's no downside here. Maybe the PS4 and Xbox 720 Infinity will have shorter life cycles than their predecessors, but I have to be honest — most people I know who game on consoles are on their SECOND box — not their first. And if you're replacing the device once every 2-3 years as opposed to once every 5-7, the idea of a product with a shorter life cycle isn't a bad thing.
On their second box? Meaning the first one broke? I had 2 360s break, that's why I'm hoping that the next gen will be a bit more reliable. I know people who've still got PS1s kicking around that work perfectly. They did try to cram too much power in last time.
I didn't know that the PS3 had 277 GFLOPs and the 360 only 77. The way I understood it was that the 360 had slightly better graphics, the PS3 had more CPU. Although to be fair, it's hard to spot any difference in most titles.
http://www.facebook.com/garrison.shields Garrison Shields
The PS3 was more capable of running physics and other tasks that helped with what could be considered "graphics".. The volumetric ray-traced clouds in Warhawk immediately comes to mind if you're wondering what I'm talking about.
In essence, the Cell processor zigged while the rest of the gaming industry zagged. With the advent of CUDA and compute units running PhysX and AGEIA off of the graphics cards in the PC gaming realm, the idea of a CPU accelerating these tasks was a bit foreign to game designers and graphics programmers.
So, yes, technically the XBox 360s gpu was a little more powerful than the PS3s, but the architectural difference with the way Cell was implemented opened the way for more enterprising developers to get impressive visuals from the PS3. Naughty Dog's games tend to get the tip of the hat when it comes to most visually impressive games this gen for a reason.
Joel Hruska
"On their second box." Meaning that either one broke and was replaced (which seems common) or that they chose to buy into new hardware.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with buying a newer console, but if you recall, the classic argument was "Buy one system for 10 years" versus "Upgrade PC every 2-3 years."
If you compare the costs of buying an Xbox / PS3 at launch and then upgrading or replacing it 2-3 years later, it changes the cost comparison. I'm not saying that makes consoles a bad deal — it just makes for different figures.
ATI's Xenos is a programmable GPU, like the G80 or R600 from ATI. The GPU inside the PS3 is based on Nvidia's last fixed-function graphics card, the GTX 7800. So the Xbox 360's GPU is more flexible and can do some things the NV chip couldn't. Garrison offers more comment on this below.
http://www.facebook.com/garrison.shields Garrison Shields
It's really hard to figure out what gamers expectations are these days. When both NVidia and ATI are producing $1000 graphics cards that need extreme cooling solutions that are capable of powering three monitors that stand two to three feet from your face with Crysis 3 levels of graphics, how the hell is a console supposed to wow anyone? I think those days are over where consoles have "secret sauce" that makes your eyes pop out from the wonder and amazement. A console really should be about 'bang for the buck' and a convenient gaming system to play on your big TV on the comfort of your couch. Still, as long as the developers don't have a need for the compute units do to anything else, we'll probably see a game like Fl0w in 4K at some point this upcoming gen.
http://www.facebook.com/rsonic Rafael Vazquez
I still think the PS4 will amaze with with it's exclusives. :)
I think the whole issue is because the ps3 lack exclusive titles yes I know there were some, but compared to the ps2 set of exclusives it was rather anemic. How do you compete when your adversary gets the same game as yours? and look rather the same?
Now what about the price for their games? I don't think people will buy a 70$ game. So they can play call of duty13. Innovation needs to come not from the consoles hardware so much but from the developers to bring a good game at a reasonable price. That the game cost xxx amount to make, what's the point if its only going to last 3-4hrs? Not enough replay value and you pay a high price.
The PS4 should be pretty good
Jhaggy Lloren
They should make the PS4 as slim and small as possible instead of releasing a "slim" version down the road like they always do.
ee mail
I think a 500$ price would be ok for PS4 or 600$ at the most
However I think with x86 architecture , Sony now has the option to make the PS4 an open ended system . I mean at power on let the user decide whether he wants to play game or use it as a PC ,
if yes then PS4 would work in a normal mode of gaming for which it is degined for.
If No then the PS4 should have a facility to boot as a PC with a provision to boot from an external (or internal) Hdd & load an OS.
Its only $399 :P

WVU Wins in Walk-Off Fashion
OKLAHOMA CITY – Despite falling behind 5-0 and committing five errors, the West Virginia University baseball team won in walk-off fashion, 6-5, against Oklahoma State at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City.
"I have to be quick when I talk right now because these guys, they know me and they know how passionate I can get. I love these guys," coach Randy Mazey says. "What they have done this year, just the grit and grind-it-out mentality, they are relentless and they never give up. That's a perfect example: down 5-0, we had made five errors and a chance to catch TCU's record in the middle of the game, but what a turnout."
Following a leadoff single by Bobby Boyd in the bottom of the tenth, Billy Fleming advanced Boyd on a sacrifice bunt. The sacrifice set the stage for Oklahoma native Jacob Rice, who singled home the game-winning run to keep WVU's Big 12 title game hopes alive.
"With the tornado here and all the victims, we as a team decided that we are playing this week for a little bit bigger cause. Each individual player was going to try to play for the people here," Mazey says. "I know Brady (Wilson) wrote something on his wristband in honor of the victims. When you are playing for something bigger than yourself, well maybe that's what made Bobby (Boyd) a little faster from second to home. This team never surprises me. I knew right away that we had a special team here."
Left-hander John Means, who got the start for the Mountaineers, looked as though he was going to put the Cowboys down in order in the top of the first, but a throwing error by shortstop Michael Constantini allowed Tanner Krietemeier to reach base. The following batter, Randy McCurry, made the Mountaineers pay for their mistake, as he launched a 0-2 pitch into the left field stands for a two-run homer – his third of the season.
OSU tacked on its third run of the game in the fourth inning, when Aaron Cornell scored on a throwing error by third baseman Ryan Tuntland. Cornell reached base via a double that nearly missed being a home run, as it deflected off the outfield wall. Cornell then advanced to third on a wild pitch.
In the sixth inning, OSU struck again and stretched its lead to 5-0. Cornell jumpstarted the inning with a single to left field, which was followed by a catcher's interference call on Alan Filauro. After a single by Zach Fish that loaded the bases, Filauro committed a throwing error that allowed Cornell to score and Robbie Rea to advance to third. Then, Victor Romero drove Rea home on a sacrifice fly to left field.
The Cowboys' run support allowed starter Mark Robinette to settle into an early groove. After allowing a triple to the leadoff hitter, Boyd, on the second pitch of the game, the junior right-hander sat down 13 consecutive Mountaineers.
The Mountaineers finally broke through in their half of the sixth inning, as they ended Robinette's streak and tagged the Cowboys' starter for five runs.
A single by Tuntland scored Constantini and Rice to make it 5-2. After a mound visit to Robinette by OSU manager Josh Holliday, Ryan McBroom hammered the first pitch he saw for a two-run home run that sailed over the left field wall and out of the ballpark. With the deficit cut to 5-4, Brady Wilson stepped to the plate. After falling behind 0-2 in the count, Wilson turned on a fastball and hit his third home run of the season.
The Mountaineers avoided key threats from OSU in the fifth and eighth innings, as they twice escaped bases-loaded situations. In the fifth, Means induced a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat, while reliever Corey Walter escaped the eighth inning with a 4-6-3 double play.
WVU squandered a chance to end the contest in the ninth inning, as McBroom led off with a double, but a fly ball out sandwiched between strikeouts ended the threat.
Means pitched six innings and allowed five runs – all unearned – on six hits.
Walter, who pitched four innings of scoreless relief, got the victory for WVU and evened his record at 5-5.
Cowboys' reliever Brendan McCurry was tagged with the loss – his third of the season.
In order to advance to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship title game, the Mountaineers need a victory by TCU over Kansas this evening. A victory by the Horned Frogs would create a three-way tie between WVU, TCU and KU. By being the highest seed of the three teams with a 2-1 record, the Mountaineers would advance to the title game against Oklahoma on Sunday at 2 p.m. EDT at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Update: Kansas defeated TCU in the nightcap 4-0 to advance to Sunday's Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma.

A University of Kansas journalism professor was placed on indefinite administrative leave Friday for a tweet he wrote about the Navy Yard shootings which said, "blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters."
David W. Guth, an associate professor of journalism, made the comment on Twitter after Monday's shootings in Washington, D.C., in which 13 people died, including the gunman. The tweet didn't attract much attention until Campus Reform.org posted a story Thursday, sparking a social media backlash that's spilled over into some state lawmakers calling for his dismissal.
The university also responded, as Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a statement Friday saying that "in order to prevent disruptions to the learning environment," Guth was placed on indefinite administrative leave pending a review. His classes will be taught by other faculty members.

580 Split
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
580 Split is seeking submissions for its 17th issue. Submissions will be accepted beginning September 16, 2014. This year 580 Split wants a status update from the Bay Area. Our cities are going through significant changes, and we desire to create a collective document recording how individuals and communities are being shaped by and responding to these changes. We seek writing and art for limited-edition printed booklets that we will group by category, and we are excited this year to invite work from a variety of media to our online multimedia journal: visual and digital art, interactive art, music and sound art, and video, in addition to fiction, poetry, and non-fiction.
We are considering status updates primarily through the following categories:
1. Technology: How is the growing local tech industry culturally influencing the Bay Area? How does the tech industry and tech cultures more generally interface with race, class, gender, sexuality, and on an intimate level with our private and personal lives?
2. Labor: Whose labor is visible, and whose invisible? How is labor changing with new cultural, technological, and economic paradigms?
3.

Non-Luer Position Statement
Monday, 15 Apr, 2013
Smiths Medical is committed to offering a solution to the problem of tubing misconnections and wrong route medication delivery. We support the objectives of the NHS Commissioning Board (formerly NPSA) and other global organizations in the introduction of non-Luer connectors to reduce the risk of wrong route errors and maximize patient safety.
The efforts of the International Standards Organization (ISO) committee (ISO TC210 JWG4) to establish and implement a universal design specification for a non-Luer neuraxial connector presents an opportunity for industry to re-evaluate their offerings and develop even safer and more effective solutions for clinicians and their patients.
After considering the advantages of a harmonized non-Luer solution for our customers, Smiths Medical has decided to redirect our efforts and resources to support the International Standards Organization in refining and finalizing the standard, which will result in the release of non-Luer Portex® Epidural & Spinal products and associated CADD® Infusion products which meet the ISO non-luer neuraxial connector standard.
Consequently, Smiths Medical has chosen not to market the epidural version of our CorrectInject™ Safety System. The CorrectInject™ Safety System for spinal procedures will continue to be available for customers in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand until the new ISO non-luer neuraxial connector product is released.
Smiths Medical will continue to work with our customers to ensure patient safety is maximized during this transitional time.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Yale University by a South Korean university that claimed it lost tens of millions of dollars after Yale damaged its reputation.
Dongguk University claimed in the 2008 lawsuit that Yale wrongly confirmed that an art history professor it hired earned a doctorate at the New Haven school. Court papers say professor Shin Jeong-ah later had a scandalous love affair with an aide to South Korea's president.
Dongguk, a Buddhist-affiliated university in Seoul, sued Yale for more than $50 million, saying it lost that amount in government grants, alumni donations and costs of building a law school the government later refused to approve because of the scandal.
U.S. District Judge Tucker Melancon on Friday dismissed allegations of defamation and negligence, saying there was a lack of evidence of malice.

No. 09/298,122, "Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitor for Copper Damascene Process and Method of Forming the Same," filed Apr. 23, 1999, and incorporated herein by reference.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates in general to integrated circuitry and, in particular, to capacitors and their fabrication.
2. Description of the Related Art
Precision capacitors for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) analog applications are generally metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors or polysilicon-insulator-polysilicon (P-P) capacitors. P-P capacitors are becoming less popular, however, because of the problems connected with their use in conjunction with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies. More specifically, P-P capacitors are generally fabricated before CMOS structures, and the heat and oxidation cycles of the CMOS fabrication process degrade P-P capacitors. In addition, as analog circuits become more sophisticated, the allowed variation in the capacitance decreases and is preferably maintained at approximately 50 ppM/V. Because P-P capacitors suffer from carrier depletion (which changes the capacitance) as surface voltage across the P-P capacitor changes, P-P capacitors do not maintain the linearity required in sophisticated analog circuits. Further, P-P capacitors often trap charge within the dielectric during their use.
As a result, MIM capacitors, which are usually formed after the CMOS fabrication process, are becoming more popular for analog circuits. However, MIM capacitors also present manufacturing challenges, especially when used with copper wiring, because copper generally cannot be used as an electrode with an SiO2 dielectric layer. In particular, the present invention recognizes that the etching step(s) utilized to define the simplest MIM capacitor that does not use the underlying damascene metallurgy as an electrode etches the top and bottom plates and the dielectric in one step, and in doing so, creates contamination on the edge of the dielectric that contacts both plates. This contamination is not easy to remove and causes undesirable leakage between the top and bottom plates.
In view of the foregoing, the present invention provides an improved capacitor structure and method of fabricating a capacitor structure that prevents a contamination layer formed during etching from connecting the top and bottom plates and thereby causing leakage.
A capacitor structure in accordance with the present invention includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and a dielectric layer between the bottom and top plates. In addition, at least one insulating sidewall spacer that protects the dielectric layer during processing is formed along the perimeter of the top plate and overlaying a portion of the dielectric layer. In a preferred embodiment, the sidewall spacer, which may be an oxide insulator, is formed following an etch of the top plate to expose the dielectric layer.
All objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
With reference now to the figures and in particular with reference to
Subsequently, a silicon nitride (Si3N4) layer 30 is formed over metal damascene layers 20, 21 and semiconductor substrate 10. Silicon nitride layer 30 is subsequently masked and etched to form an opening 25 in silicon nitride layer 30 to define the location at which a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor will be formed. The MIM capacitor may be formed without silicon nitride layer 30 if an etch process for the capacitor's bottom plate can be found that does not damage metal damascene conductor 21 when the capacitor layers are defined, as discussed further below.
Referring now to
A dielectric layer 70, which is preferably made of silicon dioxide (SiO2), may then be formed over second barrier layer 60, and a third barrier layer 80, which is preferably formed of titanium nitride (TiN), may then be formed over dielectric layer 70. Overlaying third barrier layer 80 is a top electrode 90 formed of aluminum or any other suitable metal.
The foregoing layers can be formed using any conventional process, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, evaporation, etc. If the conductivity of barrier layers 100 and 40 is sufficient (i.e., the resistivity is not too high), then layers 30, 60 and 80 may be omitted from the MIM capacitor structure.
Following the formation of the MIM capacitor structure illustrated in
Referring now to
Next, as depicted in
Subsequently, as shown in
Referring now to
Thereafter, as depicted at block 170, a photo mask 120 is utilized to pattern capacitor top plate (e.g., layers 80, 90 and 100) in an etch back of the capacitor stack stopping on dielectric layer 70. Next, as shown at block 172, one or more sidewall spacers 132 are formed around the perimeter of the top plate and over dielectric layer 70 through the deposition and etching of silicon dioxide, for example. Sidewall spacers 132 protect dielectric layer 70 from overetching and contamination during the subsequent etch of dielectric layer 70 and the bottom plate (e.g., layers 40, 50 and 60), which is depicted at block 174. The etch of the bottom plate stops on silicon nitride layer 30, if present.
After the essential structure of the MIM capacitor has been defined by the foregoing etching steps, capacitor fabrication continues at block 176, which depicts forming silicon nitride layer 134 on the top and sides of the capacitor stack and depositing and planarizing interlayer dielectric 136. Finally, as illustrated at block 178, contacts 150 to the top plate and metal damascene conductor 21 are formed, and wiring 140 is deposited in a conventional manner. Thereafter, the process ends at block 180.
As has been described, the present invention provides an improved capacitor and method of capacitor fabrication that reduce charge leakage between the capacitor plates by protecting the capacitor dielectric with insulating sidewall spacers during etching.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In particular, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the formation of protective sidewall spacers in accordance with the present invention, although particularly suitable for use in MIM capacitor fabrication, may also be employed in the fabrication of types of capacitor structures.

Insurance company Standard Life is to axe 139 jobs with most of the posts lost in Edinburgh.
On Wednesday the company said the redundancies come as a result of a new operational model which was announced in August.
Of the 139 posts, 16 will be compulsory redundancies, mainly senior posts. For the other jobs it is expected to be voluntary redundancy.
Most of the jobs will go in IT, customer services, marketing and investments. They say it will allow them to "deliver a greater customer experience".
A three-month consultation process has now started before any jobs will be lost.
Paul Matthews, CEO, UK and Europe, said: "A lot of great progress has been made getting Standard Life ready for the Retail Distribution Review and Pensions Reform. These initiatives significantly change the way customers engage with us.
"Our current model and structure has to change to meet the changing demands of this new world where customers will want to interact in different ways for different products.
"The changes being proposed today fundamentally change how we're organised so that our customers can have a greater experience with Standard Life."

Chief touts increased arrests, drop in crime
McManus credits collaborative effort between HOA's, officers
SAN ANTONIO - Crime is down and arrests are up, according to a letter sent from San Antonio police's top cop to leaders of the city's Home Owner Associations.
The so-called "E-Blast" credits the department's neighborhood policing units and a strong working relationship with the HOA's and their members.
San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus is proud of the cooperation he's seen between his officers on the streets and the residents they are sworn to protect.
The collaborative effort is paying off.
The chief said arrests are up 16 percent, narcotics charges are up 23 percent and they've seen a 160 percent increase in gang arrests.
Additionally, the department has reduced emergency response times by 15 percent which is an average response time of about 45 seconds.
The numbers add up to give San Antonio one of the lowest violent crime rates among major U.S. cities.
"Our arrests were up in all categories," McManus said. "We've taken a much more targeted approach recently and we're going to do that going forward."
KSAT Crime Specialist Eddie Gonzales was impressed with the stats touted in the chief's E-Blast. The retired SAPD detective said it shows the importance of citizens partnering with the police department.
"This is where most of the information comes from, the public with their eyes and ears. This is where we're looking to get information," Gonzales said. "We've always been a step behind the bad guys so when you involve the citizens it's a really positive thing when you get their eyes and ears out there and you really get them involved in it."
Gonzales said neighborhood crime watch programs are a good start. He also recommends citizens get involved with their HOAs so they know what's going on in their community.
But the most important thing citizens can do is report a crime when it happens.
"I know a lot of people are worried about their safety and getting their family involved. Sometimes they don't even have to do that," Gonzales said. "They can help police get pointed in the right direction of where to look for where the problem is."
While the police department is making progress on violent crimes they admit we still have a big problem with property crimes like theft which make up 70 percent of all property crimes.
To combat that officers recommend parking in well lit areas, locking your car at all times and keeping valuables out of sight or in your trunk. Finally, make sure you record serial numbers for valuable items so you can reclaim them if they are recovered.

L. Jay Lemons
L. Jay Lemons has been president of Susquehanna University, a national liberal arts college enrolling approximately 2,100 undergraduates, since February 2001. He has led the university in development of a new strategic plan emphasizing increased intellectual engagement and a stronger university community, a highly successful 2014 10-year accreditation review by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, a period of significant enrollment growth, a $100 million capital investment plan, completion of Susquehanna's largest fundraising campaign, and support of the faculty's innovative new Central Curriculum.
Lemons was raised in a home of two school teachers and views himself primarily as an educator. He is deeply committed to a broad-based, liberal arts education and believes there is no better preparation for civic leadership than through the liberal arts experience. He is an enthusiastic advocate of community service and a proponent of partnerships between the university and elementary and secondary schools, particularly those that will result in greater student diversity on campus. Other topics of particular interest are the continuing affordability of college and collaborative approaches to planning and decision-making. He regularly invites Susquehanna students to join him for lunch to share views and perspectives about their college experience.
A native of Scottsbluff, Neb., he earned a B.A. in philosophy and a B.S. in physical education and health education from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1983. He earned his M.Ed. in educational psychology and college student development from the University of Nebraska in 1985. He received his Ph.D. in higher education administration in 1991 from the University of Virginia. In 2001 he was recognized by the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education with its distinguished alumni award and in 2002 Nebraska Wesleyan University conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
Lemons began his career in student affairs at Nebraska Wesleyan, served in admissions at the University of Nebraska and worked in the Department of Student Affairs at Texas A&M University before he began doctoral studies at the University of Virginia. As assistant to presidents Robert M. O'Neil and John T. Casteen III at the University of Virginia from 1989 to 1992, Lemons oversaw major projects on assignment from the president and served as the liaison to three major units of the university. In 1992, President Casteen asked Lemons at age 32 to undertake a short-term assignment as chancellor of the university's liberal arts college, now known as the University of Virginia's College at Wise, a selective, public, liberal arts college in southwestern Virginia. That "short-term" assignment evolved into an 8 ½-year tenure before he answered the call to become Susquehanna's 14th president.
Lemons has been very active in the community and in professional organizations. Among the organizations he has served are the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Susquehanna United Way, Selinsgrove Area Youth Foundation, the Selinsgrove Rotary and Sunbury Community Hospital. He is immediate past chair of the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce. Lemons' leadership in higher education has been significant as he has served as board chair of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Campus Compact and the ELCA Council of Presidents. He is also a former board member of the Council of Independent Colleges, where he served in many capacities including chairing its nominating committee; an executive committee member of the Associated New American Colleges; as a committee member for the Commission on Leadership and Institutional Effectiveness of the American Council on Education; and as a member of the Committee on Student Aid of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.
He has been married to Marsha Schone Lemons since 1984, and they are the parents of four children: Olivia, age 21; Maggie, age 19; Thomas, age 16; and Meredith, age 14.

It is 1948, and at a young age village-girl Jess flees the prying eyes of society to join a travelling pearlfisher named Ali.
She embarks for a life on the road after bearing a child fathered by her jealous lover, Roderick, who she unintentionally kills. The action subsequently skips forward to 2007, picking up the trail of Jess' granddaughter Jessie and following her struggle to survive on a modern caravan site with her feckless partner Alec. Through the two female characters, The Pearlfisher reveals how a grandmother's actions affected the future of her descendents and examines what it means to be a traveller and an outcast.
Philip Howard's parting production as director of the Traverse theatre is a meditation on the concept of Scotland, past and present, but remains an attempt at a romanctic epic about the perseverance of mankind and the human – in particular, the Scottish – spirit.
While the story itself – presented through a haze of gauze as a half-remembered, fuzzy folk-tale – is touching, it never reaches the depth of insight or fullness of character that might be expected from such a partnership. Elspeth Brodie as both Jess and Jessie is instantly engaging, however some of the other characters appear to exist solely as demonstrative devices of various Scottish ways of life, or more general representatives of 'the outsider,' examples of which being the horse-trader and fellow traveller in the first act or the Iranian political refugee in the second. They distract from a narrative which could be allowed much more flux.
Iain F MacLeod's often clumsy script gives the play a disjointed feel, which is not helped by alienating staging decisions: while the turfed stage complete with river provides an emotive setting for the action, the placement of the offstage characters around the stage and the occasional spotlighting suggests a Talking Heads mode of performance which is entirely inapplicable. Although moving in places, The Pearlfisher suffers from a lack of depth that makes it feel more like an exploration of cliché rather than the intended exercise in storytelling.

White Devil
Editorial Staff • West End • 14 Sep 2000
Judging from his two extant plays, the notorious Jacobean dramatist John Webster held a misanthropic world view. Lust elbows love out of the way, greed and treachery replace generosity and fidelity, and familial bonds dissolve into sibling betrayal and murder.
Less compelling than The Duchess of Malfi (a play in which the eponymous heroine becomes a truly pitiable figure), The White Devil similarly examines a family in disintegration, and an upper echelon of Roman society blinded by lethal ambition.
Webster s gore fest is like a proto-Big Brother: who will survive at the end? Rather than settling his story upon a principal character (although the Duchess in Malfi comes closest to fulfilling that role), the writer revolves his attention from one player to another, often marking the transitions with someone s death.
The ever-thickening plot is too diffuse to distil here. Suffice it to say that Duke Brachiano s (David Rintoul) adulterous affair with Vittoria (Zoë Waites) scandalises the court, with particular interest shown by the Duke of Florence (Timothy Walker), as well as the prime candidate to be the next pope, Monticelso (Anthony Valentine), and cuckolded spouses Isabella (Jane Bertish) and the hapless Camillo (Keith Osborn). Henchmen to carry out dirty deeds are a requisite in Webster, and in this play we have two: Flamineo (Sebastian Harcombe) and Lodovico (Shaun Dooley), the latter gaining the unique distinction of stabbing the more sinned against than sinning Vittoria in a most tender part of her body.
Rae Smith s design suggests an abandoned warehouse location, with the action lit by Howard Harrison; there s a striking use of an upstage row of candles for a scene within 'a house for penitent whores . In addition, Matthew Scott s brooding music enhances the inherent menace, while director Philip Franks nicely utilises film to recount Camillo and Isabella s murders. Franks strikes some welcome comic notes, but in the main this is a grim, and long, evening.
Webster s language demands constant attention, since it acts as his primary characterisation tool. There s no why in his revenge tragedy, more a tableaux of what men (and women) do to hasten their destruction. The final blood bath is not only a touch wearying, it s faintly ridiculous. At curtain, I was relieved to escape this bloody universe.

Great Basin National Park
A Guidebook to the Park and Surrounding Area
Great Basin National Park, Snake Valley, and Spring Valley cover more than 3,000 square miles across portions of Nevada and Utah, but few people know much about this diverse area. In her Guidebook to Great Basin National Park, Gretchen Baker covers everything a potential visitor needs to know about one of the country's best-kept secrets.
The park sits in one of America's driest, least populated, and most isolated deserts. It is a place of significant geological and scenic value, offering unspoiled vistas, abundant wildlife, clean air, and natural attractions. That contrast is one facet of the diversity that characterizes this region. Within and outside the park are phenomenal landscape features, biotic wonders, unique environments, varied historic sites, and the local colors of isolated towns and ranches. Vast Snake and Spring Valleys, bracketing the national park, are also subjects of one of the West's most divisive environmental contests. At stake is what on the surface seems almost absent but underground is abundant enough for sprawling Las Vegas to covet—water.
This guidebook not only describes the peaks, glaciers, subalpine lakes, caves, hiking trails, campgrounds, and historical sites but also explores the cultural history of the park and surrounding area. Each chapter addresses the physical attributes and navigational issues of a specific area and includes an in-depth historical overview. The text is complemented by useful maps and historical photographs and makes Great Basin National Park: A Guidebook to the Park and Surrounding Area the most comprehensive book on the region available.
It will be essential to naturalists, historians, and tourists interested in exploring the attractions, natural history, and cultural history of the Great Basin.

Chukwu's 26 lead NCSSM past Bulldogs
Roxboro Community School tried to steal one from N.C. School of Science and Mathematics, but 26 points from the Unicorns' Joseph Chukwu were too much for the Bulldogs to overcome.
"I don't think we could stop Chukwu," RCS coach Kirk Redman said. "He was tough tonight."
NCSSM won 63-52, but Roxboro Community guard Christian Ingram gave the Unicorns just about all they could handle when he got warm from behind the arc.
Ingram hit four 3-pointers in the second half to keep the Bulldogs in the game. He made another 3-pointer in the first half to go toward his 20 points.
RCS guard Mickey Drumwright scored 20, as well.
"We fought back," Redman said. "It just seems like the air got taken out of them a couple of times. I think we fought back too much, got a little tired there at the end."
NCSSM coach Anthony Myles said the Unicorns must learn to deliver the knockout punch when they have a team on the ropes.
"We tend to relax when we get in a situation when we think we have won the game," Myles said. "We tend to relax, and you just can't do that against any team. We were fortunate tonight. We made a couple of defensive plays down the stretch to secure it.
"We're still working on closing out games. We've lost a lot of close games this year."
Chukwu, one of the best scorers in the Carolina 12, found Elliott Holliday and Russell Aryeetey for layups late in the game to give the Unicorns some breathing room.
ROXBORO COMMUNITY — Jarren Winstead 3, Terrence Hawley 6, Mickey Drumwright 20, Bryce Henderson 3, Christian Ingram 20.
NCSSM — Chase Hayhurst 2, Michael Kearney 11, Joseph Chukwu 26, Elliott Holliday 6, Cole Simons 2, Cedric Clark 4, Russell Aryeetey 2, David Cuppett 2, Zach Tanner 8.
Records—RCS 5-14, 2-10 Carolina 12; NCSSM 5-12, 5-10.
The Roxboro Community School girls played from behind most of the game but had enough moxie when it mattered most to take a 50-43 win over N.C. School of Science and Mathematics.
"I only had two ball handlers and both of those fouled out," NCSSM coach Derryl Britt said about Jenny Wei (eight points) and Samantha Michael (14 points). "We're a very inexperienced team, and once we lose those two, we're in a struggle and we know it. So going down the stretch, we had a few inexperienced players on the floor, and that bit us."
Wei fouled out with 3:21 to play in the fourth period and NCSSM leading 39-36.
RCS guard Danielle Holt took over after Wei went to the bench, coming up with three late buckets — two of them off steals — to finish off the Unicorns.
NCSSM played most of the contest without Angel Chukwu, the team's best on-ball defender. She had to be helped off the floor after a first-half leg injury and didn't return.
"With her going down, that really hurt us," Britt said.
ROXBORO COMMUNITY — Maranda Oliver 10, Danielle Holt 14, Alyssa Morris 10, Cassidy Solomon 9, Catlin Whitfield 6, Anderson Clayton 1.
NCSSM — Paige Wolfe 1, Samantha Michael 14, Laura Campbell 7, Elizabeth Hayes 3, Alexandria Anagnos 8, Princess Stone 2, Jenny Wei 8.

Hurricane Sandy has claimed the life of a woman with Oklahoma ties.
Claudene Christian, 42, was a crew member on board the HMS Bounty, the ship that went down about 90 miles east off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Christian's parents live in Vian, in far eastern Oklahoma.
Christian also lived there recently for about a year.
The HMS Bounty was built as a movie prop, a replica of the real one well-known for the mutiny aboard her in 1789.
But a real life storm proved too much for the tall ship as she went down amidst Hurricane Sandy.
Crews aboard two coast guard helicopters pulled 14 crew members alive from the raging waters.
Christian's aunt said she wasn't even aware her niece was at sea with the storm bearing down.
"They'd just had the bounty in dry dock and I didn't know it was back out to sea with this weather coming in," Patricia Saulsberry said.
Christian mainly grew up in Alaska and was a cheerleader at USC.
She was a singer and also founded the Cheerleader Doll Company, she was actually sued by Mattel for her dolls' resemblance to Barbie.
Saulsberry said Christian joined the HMS Bounty crew in May after living in Vian for about a year.
"She was just always staying busy and active at things," she said.
Coast Guard rescuers said the conditions were extremely dangerous.
"Being down in those waves is more like being in a washing machine" Coast Guard rescue swimmer Danial Todd said. "You have these waves kind of hitting at you from every single direction."
Crews continued to search for the ship's captain late Monday night.
All other crew members except Christian was rescued.

Hillside girls pull out victory over Riverside
The Hillside girls came within an eyelash of losing a second PAC-6 game in a single season for the first time in over a decade Friday night, but they held off visiting Riverside 53-51.
The boys' game lacked the drama of opener, as Hillside crushed Riverside 71-45 in the nightcap.
Hillside girls' coach Ovester Grays wasn't around to see his team avert a landmark loss. The veteran coach was hit with back-to-back technical fouls for protesting a non-call that cost the Hornets a turnover with 5:46 to play and a 45-42 lead.
Center Daesha Marshall collected a defensive rebound and fired a court-length pass to Hillside guard Justine Lyons who couldn't keep the pass inbounds as she got tangled up with a Riverside defender.
Grays received a technical foul for his reaction to the play and kept talking while Riverside's Moné Jones hit the resulting free throws, drawing his second technical from a different official than the first.
Jones hit two more free throws to give Riverside (9-13, 3-7 PAC-6) a 46-45 lead and the ball.
Grays had to leave the was gym after the second technical foul, and Hillside coaching duties were split between assistant coaches Alex Miller and Rhonda Bullock.
Grays later said that there was some question whether his removal by the officiating crew was an "ejection" or a "disqualification."
The difference is that N.C. High School Athletic Association rules call for an automatic two-game suspension for a coach who is ejected from a game but does not mention such a penalty for a disqualification.
Grays said Hillside athletic director Bob Hill was attempting to get a clarification on the coach's status late Friday, but no update was available in time for today's editions.
The Hornets (18-3, 8-1) host Southern in the 6 p.m. opener of a boys-girls doubleheader today. Southern, a winner at East Chapel Hill on Friday night, also is 8-1 in the conference and today's winner will take sole possession of first place with two games left in the regular season.
Drama aside, Hillside overcame slopping ballhandling early and forced Riverside into 32 turnovers that proved the undoing of the visiting Pirates.
But with the lead changing frequently and Hillside players going down with apparent leg cramps and other injuries — stars Lyons, Jordyn Smith and Tykyrah Williams each were forced out of the game briefly in the fourth quarter — no one got control of the game until the final buzzer when Lyons corralled a miss by Riverside's top scorer, Zaria Rogers (16 points), and Hillside up by two.
"I'm very proud of the girls," Riverside coach Alicia Jones said. "They played with a lot of heart."
In the boys' game, Riverside played its second straight game without injured freshman point guard Justice Kithcart and it showed.
Hillside's quick guards trapped and pressed in the backcourt and forced turnovers on four early possessions that led to an 8-0 lead on 1:14 into the game. Riverside used its only two 3-pointers of the night to trim it to 16-14, but Hillside ended the quarter with six straight points and led 35-23 at the half.
The Hornets opened the third quarter with an 18-3 run to bury the Pirates.
"We're getting better," Hillside coach Crasten Davis said. "That's the scary thing about Hillside. We're a dangerous team down the stretch."
NOTES — A family member said Kithcart, who already has received major college recruiting attention, was advised this week to rest an injured muscle near his hip for three weeks, effectively ending his freshman season. He was first injured in a Christmas tournament and has played through the injury for the past five weeks but has experienced knee pain apparently caused by his favoring the hip.

Sorry Hollywood execs, but Frankie Muniz won't be starring in your next big blockbuster romantic action thriller. We're saddened to announce that the 20 year-old Malcom in the Middle star, who happens to be suspended in mid-puberty, is giving up acting for the next couple of years to persue race-car driving.
We know, he would have been perfect as the next James Bond or as a surly but dashing British baron in the next Jane Austen adaptation. Sorry ladies, this bad-boy has only one true love: fast cars (and his retainer –it's zebra-patterned!)

Wet and cold weather batters Somerset's fruit growers too...
Posted: June 19, 2012|
The West's fruit growers have taken a battering from the cold and wet, with pears and early cropping apples among the worst hit.
Cox's Orange Pippins and Discovery are among the apple varieties which have been hit.
Pears, which are early bloomers, have also been badly hit.
In the South East some growers have lost up to 65 per cent, or even 90 per cent of their crop.
Robin Small, a partner in Charlton Orchards, which grows apples, plums and pears at Creech St Michael, near Taunton, said on Sunday: "Most of the dessert varieties came into blossom in the worst of that stretch of bad weather when we did not get the pollination that we wanted because the bees were huddled in their hives.
"We are only talking about a matter of five to six days but that was enough to cause a problem.
"Some varieties also take longer for the pollen tube to grow after fertilisation and so in some cases where the bees had pollinated flowers the low temperatures at night were enough to kill off the pollen tube before it had grown to the right length. Cox's were hit worst.
"We have some Discoverys but it won't be a big crop.
"With other varieties that are naturally later flowering things seem to be all right, and we have got a crop of Bramleys because they flowered again.
"We have a light crop of plums overall, and a very light crop of pears."
As apples are grown around the world Mr Small does not believe the cut in crop will lead to higher prices for shoppers. But he said: "Let's say we won't be going to Bermuda this year."
Cider drinkers can breathe a sigh of relief. Cider apples bloom later. Cider expert and author Liz Copas, of Crewkerne, said: "I think most have flowered and set reasonably. Some may be affected but in the main they will be all right.
"It was a very good year last year and so it is not likely to be such a heavy crop this year. But it was a good autumn, and that is always good for making the buds."
Dorset cider apple grower Rupert Best, who has 50 acres of orchards, said: "We are two or three weeks behind the dessert people. I have a feeling our earliest are suffering a bit on the whole the set has been very good."
Last year, 20,000 tons of Braeburn were grown in Britain, but this year the projection is for 12,000 tons.

You are here: Home > Come and C Days
ScheduleThe check-in time is from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 16. The next day, on Friday, you'll join us for breakfast, a chapel service, a class or two, lunch, and a campus tour. You'll also hear from our admissions and financial aid teams about how you can become a student at Clearwater. If sports is your thing, you'll get a chance to meet with coaches and practice with teams. Your day - sadly - will end around 4 p.m. But we're sure you'll be back. View detailed schedule.
HousingHigh school juniors and seniors stay in the dorms. You'll just need to bring bedding, a towel and toiletries, your Bible and clothes appropriate for a college campus. Sponsors, parents or grandparents will need to find accommodations off-campus.
Auditions for Music ScholarshipsIf you're a senior and interested in a music scholarship, you can audition while you're here. You should prepare two selections of contrasting style. For example, choose one sacred piece and one classical piece. Bottom line, we want to hear your best singing or playing; so choose music that allows that. For instrumentalists, you don't have to memorize your piece, but we prefer it for pianists and vocalists. We'll provide an accompanist if you need one.
Cost and RegistrationJust register so we know you're coming. Everything else - student housing, programs, meals - is on us. If it's you and your family, register here. Or, call us and we'll get you set up over the phone. School or church groups must register by completing and faxing to us the Group Reservation Form.
It is not too late to register, but please register as soon as possible.
DirectionsHere's where we are. If you're flying in, let us know your flight itinerary, and we'll be at the airport (TPA or PIE) to pick you up.
