Road tests
If there is a medium-sized luxury sedan that has flown under the radar in New Zealand, then it has to be the Lexus GS series.
|POWER PLANT: 2.5-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 petrol engine, 154 kW at 6400 rpm, 253 Nm at 4800 rpm.
|RUNNING GEAR: Rear-wheel drive. Six-speed automatic transmission with manual operation via gear shift and steering wheel paddles. Doubles wishbone front suspension, multi-link setup at the rear. Full range of electric ride and handling aids.
|HOW BIG: Length 4850mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2850mm.
|WHAT'S GOOD: Refined drive, excellent luxury, good pricing for the level of specification.
|WHAT'S NOT: Engine can get noisy when pushed.
|OUR VERDICT: This latest GS has lost the Lexus blandness, making it a much more appealing proposition when compared against the German opposition. Price is appealing, too.
There's good reason for this - the GS competes against some high profile and very good European product including the BMW 5-Series, Jaguar XF, Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
But, quite frankly, a 3 per cent segment share hasn't been good enough for the GS. The Lexus New Zealand people know that, and that's why they are now going all-out to increase that to a much better 17 per cent.
It should be achievable too, for two good reasons - first, it only represents an average of two sales a week; and secondly, the Lexus sales people are now armed with a new fourth-generation model that was launched in New Zealand mid-year.
The new model range represents quite a bit of change. Whereas previously the third-generation GS featured 3.0-litre V6, 4.6-litre V8 and the 450h hybrid models, for the fourth-generation lineup the V8 has been dropped and replaced with a 3.5-litre V6, and the entry model has had its engine downsized to 2.5 litres. The hybrid remains to complete the new GS trio.
And a further major change is that pricing has been lowered.
Now, a customer can buy the entry GS250 for $102,900 which is a lot less than the $114,000 that was previously needed to purchase a GS300. And if a customer wants something just a little special, there is now the opportunity to go the F Sport way, adding various sporting bits and pieces for a little more - in the case of the GS250, it takes the price up to $108,900.
Some weeks ago, I drove the top model in the GS line, the $142,900 GS450h F Sport, and raved on about how good this very powerful luxury hybrid is to drive.
But, as good as the car is, that price will always mean that sales will be limited. And this means that Lexus' GS sales aspirations must be focusing firmly on that entry model, the GS250.
Well, I've just been driving that car too, and I think it may well be the pick of the range anyway. Refined, well-specified and not lacking in power despite the V6 having "only" the 2.5 litres, it is offered at a price that is well below equivalent product from the German rivals BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
Powered by the same 4GR-FSE 2.5-litre V6 as that aboard the smaller IS250, it has 154 kilowatts of power and 253 Newton metres of torque on hand to provide sound performance.
The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that can be operated manually either via the gearshift or by using paddles on the steering wheel. As usual, I couldn't be bothered using either, and during a fairly lengthy journey through the lower North Island I preferred to leave the auto to its own devices.
It proved quite willing to drop down a gear or two to keep revolutions high enough to allow the GS to scoot along when required, and when that happened the engine did become quite noisy.
But, at the normal cruise, things were luxuriously quiet, and over the length of the journey I was also able to achieve an average fuel consumption considerably better than the published 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres.
It offers a very nice ride too. As well as being rear-wheel drive, this latest model has a new body shell which is 14 per cent more rigid than before, and the suspension has undergone a re-work. End result is a sedan that tracks brilliantly, and even without the F Sport treatment which does all sorts of special things to the suspension, this car handles nicely through the corners and bends.
This Lexus has what is known as a Drive Mode Select which, at the touch of a button, allows the driver to choose Normal, Sport and Eco drive modes depending on what is required of the car.
The system defaults to Normal, which is obviously the mode used most of the time. Sport changes the gearshift protocols for more hurried motoring - and increases the revs by several hundred rpm under cruise - while the Eco mode saves fuel but makes overall performance a bit dead.
Interior is more spacious than before. Those in the front seats have more leg room and up to 30mm extra headroom; in the rear the knee room has gone up 20mm and headroom by 25mm. Luggage room in the boot has also increased, by 23 per cent, to 532 litres.
Several new technologies make their debut in this car. It includes a comprehensive multimedia system with 8-inch display screen, advanced Bluetooth capabilities, and satellite navigation. A computer mouse-like Remote Touch gadget is on the centre console and is linked to the information display screen.
Other interior features include leather trim, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, ventilated and heated front seats, 10-way electric adjustment of the front seats with memory, and self-dimming, heated exterior mirrors.
Safety features include blind spot monitoring, tyre pressure monitors for the car's 18-inch tyres, parking assistance with eight sensors, a reversing camera, and adaptive front lighting.
It all adds up to a very nice luxury motoring package that is quite capable of competing against the German opposition.
If there has been one criticism of the GS series in the past, then it is that it has been a bit low-key. That's changed thanks to a new exterior that is more aggressive in design and which gives something of a design edge to complement a highly appointed interior.
As such, the GS - particularly this very good GS250 - deserves better recognition than before.

I've done this as well, in college, using the Total Classics mod for MVP Baseball 2005 (that mod had the 79 Padres and 84 Padres...? I think I used MVP Edit to rework those teams to their 1970 rosters). I didn't throw a no-hitter. I only threw one no-hitter in years of playing that game (the last baseball sim for the PC, and it was a great one), and that was using the 1994 mod - it was Ken Hill of the Expos against the Astros* in Game 5 of the NLCS.2. Golfing Great Mitch Cumstein Posted: July 28, 2011 at 10:43 PM (#3887963)
*BTW, Jeff Bagwell's 1994 is one of the most underrated great seasons in modern baseball history, undoubtedly due to the strike. That year, he was better than Frank Thomas ever was, better than Pujols' best year - in fact, it may be the best ever offensive season by a 1B not named Gehrig.
Why is this #### getting posted almost three weeks after it was on Deadspin? Shouldn't that be a sign nobody cares.3. Enrico Pallazzo Posted: July 28, 2011 at 11:07 PM (#3887971)
I care. I thought it was hilarious, especially the article. I've never dropped acid but I've had a few mushroom trips and thought that his descriptions were hilarious because I could relate. The baseball portion wasn't terribly interesting, however, and I guess this is Baseball Think Factory. The video would have been funnier (and he would have enjoyed the experience more) if he weren't frustrating himself deliberately.4. Dan Posted: July 28, 2011 at 11:30 PM (#3887977)

#1, While I was in college I played that game all the time for the ps2. It's the only video baseball game where I played a full 162 games + postseason without a single simulation (now married and with child, a personal feat I'll likely never accomplish again). I actually made it till around the all-star break of year 2 before I stopped.7. PreservedFish Posted: July 29, 2011 at 12:03 AM (#3887995)
I played as the Marlins, which had a staff of Beckett, Willis, Burnett, Lieter. I could always pitch on the MVP games a hundred times better than I could hit. I threw one perfect game with D-Train, and I think at least a no-hitter with AJ.
Do you still play it, and if so is the PC version of that game *available* for download. I'd like to try it out, esp if there is still a mod community to recreate past teams.
I threw a 10 inning perfect game with Randy Tomlin in Front Page Sports Baseball 94. I was 13, and not under the influence of any drugs, although given my habits at the time I may have had 5-10 Pepsis that day.8. zachtoma Posted: July 29, 2011 at 12:38 AM (#3888007)
Some of you might remember that the game's physics were screwed up, so that the harder you threw the ball, the harder it went off the bat. Pitchers with good velocity were, thus, horrible. One could easily draft a 120 win team because the best pitchers in the game (Randy Tomlin, Bob Welch, Bill Wegman etc) were available in the last rounds.
I stopped playing it when I got a new PC, but I've been tempted to reinstall it because I still have all the great mods that kept that game so fresh and fun for years (and they are still on mvpedit.com). I mean, seriously great mods - updates for every season through 2008, a full Carribean makeover, like a dozen seasons from baseball history - 1927, 1981, 1994, 1999, 1956, etc., many all-time great teams packages - the mod community has turned the game from a solid if unremarkable EA Sports sim into a flat-out classic. I keep holding off because I don't need something else to distract me, but I know I'll just find another way to waste time anyways. I'm lucky enough to still have the original game discs, which apparently fetch a lot now on eBay. The game is, however, *available* - one word: torrents. Since it's a 6 year-old game that is only available on the secondary market, I don't think you have to feel too bad about dl'ing it.9. Tin Angel Posted: July 29, 2011 at 12:45 AM (#3888010)
I really hope children reading this web site aren't encouraged to try acid because of this link.10. There's a bustle in Misirlou's hedgerow Posted: July 29, 2011 at 12:54 AM (#3888016)
Kids- stay away from the acid. Stick to alcohol, mushrooms, and weed...and maybe just a little coke on the weekends. It's always cool to be healthy!
*BTW, Jeff Bagwell's 1994 is one of the most underrated great seasons in modern baseball history, undoubtedly due to the strike. That year, he was better than Frank Thomas ever was, better than Pujols' best year - in fact, it may be the best ever offensive season by a 1B not named Gehrig.
Only because of the strike. Remember, Bagwell broke his arm a few days before the strike, and would have been out for the rest of the season. Since the season ended a few days later it was irrelevant, but if there were no strike, a terrific 110 games would be little more than a footnote instead of an MVP performance, like Ted Williams in 1955.
Tim Wakefield was my MVP Baseball 2005 Cy Young winner and league MVP.12. Dock Ellis on Acid Posted: July 29, 2011 at 01:56 AM (#3888039)

*BTW, Jeff Bagwell's 1994 is one of the most underrated great seasons in modern baseball history, undoubtedly due to the strike. That year, he was better than Frank Thomas ever was, better than Pujols' best year - in fact, it may be the best ever offensive season by a 1B not named Gehrig.
Frank's numbers that season were close to Bagwell's and there's no telling who would've performed better down the stretch (discounting the borken hand for a second). At the strike, they had OPS+'s of 213 and 211, with Bagwell enjoying a slugging advantage (.750 to .729), Thomas enjoying an OBP and overall OPS advantage (.487 and 1.217 to .451 and 1.201), with Bagwell doing so in a much tougher environment (hence the better OPS+).
If you factor in fielding and baserunning, Bagwell was the obviously more valuable player. However, at the plate, it was neck and neck and both were headed to seasons that were better at the plate than anything Pujols has done thus far.
Both of them had a semi-realistic shot at the triple crown to go along with the 1.200+ OPS. I would guess Thomas had the better chance because there was no Gwynn in the AL.

AUSTIN (AP) – Texas state lawmakers are hearing from business leaders on the general state of the Texas economy and the impact of credit card data theft and private information on consumers and businesses.
Gov. Rick Perry has touted the strength of the state's economy as he has encouraged companies to move to Texas from other state. Greg Abbott, the Republican nominee for governor, also has lauded the state economy as one of the strongest in the nation.
Federal data showed that Texas created nearly half of the nation's new jobs in the two years following the June 2009 official end of the last recession.
Thursday's hearing is before the House Business and Industry Committee, which is meeting in Austin.

I don't think that's true at all. Casual gamers are just that, casual, and they will always be just that, IE. They will go wherever they can to grab quick thrills on the cheap with very little care for brand loyalty. It's the hardcore PC gamers that have kept PC gaming afloat and viable, despite years of critics decrying it as a waning medium. And fortunately, it will be those same enthusiasts, like me, that carry it forward proudly into the future.
But to get ba...
Microsoft has always been notorious for their lackadaisical, borderline apathetic approach toward anything PC game related over the last ten years. They've come out publicly to state several times their enthusiasm and support for PC gaming, and its importance as a viable medium, via Games For Windows press releases and press one-offs, but whenever push comes to shove, we get nothing but excuses and/or half-assed offerings.
My thought is that Microsoft has struggled a lot...
Probably going to get flamed for this comment, but I gave up on Gearbox a long time ago when I began to realize that all they produce are sub-par IPs and, in this case and Duke Nukem's case, terribly designed revives of franchises. And yet somehow, despite hyping their games to no end, when a product of theirs fails to meet expectations, Gearbox denies and/or fails to address its degree of involvement. The same situation happened with Duke Nukem'.
It's unfortunate...
While Kickstarter's reasoning for taking this game down is still not entirely clear, I for one do not feel that any sort of gambling "game," and I use that term loosely, is deserving of crowd funding.
Think about it. As a consumer, you're not getting a "finished" product that is then yours to keep and do with whatever you choose like you would with a videogame or a book or a movie. It is a product that requires you to continually throw your hard-e...
Fact #1: You just can't please everyone. Fact #2: Some people just enjoy hating.
The # at the end of the title and idea that there are "action sequences" only lend them the platform with which to moan about an excellent game.
After reading the statement, "Dead Space 3 is no doubt the finest chapter in the series.", I half expect to see a review score that reflects such a declaration--not the 3.5/5 which is listed.
Now this is a game developer that sounds like its worth its weight in gold! Not only did they set up their own crowdfunding source/option, they then pledged to back the project for at least 10+ years while providing a consistent flow of new content! Will certainly be interesting to see how PoE turns out over time!
Those screenshots say that they are for Xbox 360, and therefore do not represent the game's true graphical capability. But enough about looks, let's hope that Crytek finally releases a game worthy of playing, with customization and complexity to boot! Crysis 2 while fun (at times), felt "console-ized" and didn't hold a candle to the first game in any aspect.
Microsoft's "commitment to PC gaming" has so far turned out to be nothing but hot air, and this is yet another major example to back that up. Sure, their main concern is selling 360 hardware and gaining that sure-fire install base, but squandering the potential in other very viable markets, like the PC gaming market, is the equivalent of shooting themselves in the foot.
Apparently exclusivity and alienation run in the same circles @ M$.
One word, one number: Wasteland 2
Blah, blah, blah...still, the same canned rhetoric pours forth from the mouths of those at Blizzard as it did from day one of Diablo III's release, and yet not much has changed. My opinion? If Blizzard couldn't get their act together over the course of 10+ years to develop a worthwhile sequel, I'm guessing that it's absolutely never going to happen, especially after the fact. It's what us realists call, "wishful thinking."
My mistake, was thinking this was an official release from Beth. So disregard everything I said previously.
Why there was not this much detail put into the dragons to begin with, is beyond me.. still, it's nice to see Bethesda supporting their game over a year after release. Regardless, the updated dragons add a nice bit of added detail and dimension to the game.
What I'd REALLY like to see in a Legacy of Kain sequel is one that takes it back to its roots--stylized in a top-down view just like the very first Blood Omen game for the PS One and PC. That game still remains one of my most beloved games! I just don't feel that any other LoS games, with maybe the exception of Defiance, even came close to being as well rounded. Anyone else agree?
Hey, it's either games or music that become scapegoats. Funny how the violent BS that gets played over and over on basic TV channels like ABC, NBC, FOX, etc. NEVER EVER get called into question. But the fact is, ppl will always look outward to place blame somewhere after experiencing any sort of unspeakable tragedy, instead of looking within and asking themselves what THEY could have done to have prevented said catastrophe.
Don't understand all of the angst about this...the game will be on every other current gen system, including the PC platform.
Considering this is a "hardcore" game aimed at the "hardcore gamer" demographic, I would venture a guess that a vast majority, if not all of those gamers, already own either an Xbox, PS3, or PC, or a combination of those systems. So, do you really NEED it for the Wii U?
That, and see release on the PC platform. I will be a very happy soul if that comes to pass!
Yeah, really. C&C Generals 2? Sure, the first one was alright, but I wouldn't say it's "highly anticipated." The Elder Scrolls Online? Doubtful we'll see it in 2013. And what about Bioshock Infinite? No mention whatsoever.
360 and PS3 copies both seemed fuzzy and had a ton of screen tearing going on.. However, low quality videos like this one are never a good representation of what to expect.
Having said that, I have been playing the game on the PC with all graphics settings set to ultra, and I can attest to the stunning beauty of the game on that particular platform. Still, Ubisoft needs to address the low quality, blurry backgrounds coupled with vegetation pop-in that people have been experie...

Overturned semi blocks road on I-5, SR 46, causes delay for one hour
Accident occured at around 8:30 a.m.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - An overturned semi driving northbound on Interstate 5 just south of State Route 46 blocked the road for a couple of hours, creating a headache for drivers near the area.
The California Highway Patrol reported that about 8:20 a.m., the semi was driving northbound on I-5, when the crash happened just south of State Route 46, blocking both lanes of the road. Drivers near the area were using the right shoulder to get through.
Traffic was backed up approximately 6 miles with a one hour delay, with cars still using the right shoulder to get through traffic.
At 11:52 a.m., the CHP reported that all lanes were opened.

Announcing the invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003, Mr. Bush said, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
Two months into the war, on May 29, 2003, Mr. Bush said weapons of mass destruction had been found.
"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories," Mr. Bush told Polish television. "For those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."
On Sept. 9, 2004, in Pennsylvania, Mr. Bush said: "I recognize we didn't find the stockpiles [of weapons] we all thought were there."
As we speak Iran is going full steam ahead with their ambitious nuclear program. They have a co-conspirator in the WH! BHO has sold out America.

More shows: John Legend, Demi Lovato, Low vs. Diamond
• Thought I had 'em all for this week when I posted the other day, but there are more concerts to announce, starting with John Legend's biggest headlining local gig yet, Jan. 13 at Gibson Amphitheatre, as part of his tour behind this third proper album, Evolver. British newcomer Estelle (well, she's new to people stateside, anyway) will open. Tickets, $40.50-$80.50, go on sale at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22.
• Meanwhile, Camp Rock star Demi Lovato, promoting her debut album Don't Forget, will perform Dec. 8 at the Wiltern in L.A. A "special guest" will be added. Tickets, $19.50-$29.50, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 21, but the pre-sale starts the day before, also at 10 a.m.
• Closer to home -- and of an entirely (read: better) aesthetic -- the indie outfit Low vs. Diamond will play Dec. 9 at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa, with Barcelona and the Shys opening. Tickets, $10, are available at the club's official site. Also on the way: Little Joy, the new project from Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, with opening acts Dead Trees and Red Cortez, Dec. 6, $12 ... and Free Moral Agents, who reminded me of the Mars Volta at the Sound Downtown festival because (duh) they have MV keysman Ikey Owens in their lineup, will headline Dec. 4, with guests Blank Blue and Jebel, $6.
• And Donavon Frankenreiter, still out pushing his third proper album, Pass It Around, has added a Feb. 12 gig at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. Tickets, $20, go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. Also look for him Feb. 14 at Brixton in Redondo Beach, Feb. 15 at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, Feb. 19 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach and Feb. 20 at the Roxy in West Hollywood.

Diver Tom Daley's 2013 calendar becomes this year's third biggest seller - despite being released less than a MONTH ago
- Daley's effort sees off competition from Kelly Brook and Cliff Richard
- Boy band One Direction take the top spot with Justin Bieber in second
Diving sensation Tom Daley is making waves after producing one of this year's best-selling calendars.
Although his 2013 calendar was released barely a month ago, the bronze medal-winning star has already reached third place in a sales chart compiled by retailer HMV and official calendar maker Danilo Promotions.
Boy band One Direction top the list for a second year running, while Canadian teen star Justin Bieber is runner-up.
Third: Tom Daley's calendar is the third biggest seller of 2012 - despite being launched less than a month ago
Number one: One Direction are behind 2012's top selling calendar for the second year running
I don't belieb it! Justin Bieber's effort is the second biggest selling calendar of 2012
Daley, the high diving heartthrob who bolstered his army of fans through his appearances at London 2012, is the highest new entry in the list.
Comic character Keith Lemon - created by Leigh Francis - is at number four, after making his movie debut this year. He is four places higher than his glamorous love interest from the film, Kelly Brook, who makes her official calendar chart comeback.
Sir Cliff Richard, a regular best-seller, slipped from last year's number two to six.
Sales of 2013 calendars are reported to be up 10 per cent, mainly on the strength of One Direction's popularity, who are outselling the rest of the top 10 combined.
HMV merchandise buyer Craig Dodds said: 'One Direction topped the Calendar Chart for 2012, and it looks like they have no competition, athough HMV are experiencing a demand for Tom Daley's raunchy debut calendar this week, so we may well see a festive surge from him too.'

London 2012 bronze medallist Daley, 18, appears in a variety of poses - some of them shirtless and covered in water.
But Tom has admitted that his calendar is 'almost a bit of a mick take.'
He said: 'The one on the front cover where I'm covered in water was really funny to do.
Someone had to pound a bucket of water over me, it wasn't cold, it was sort of lukewarm. It took a few takes to get to get it right through because the water needed to be in the right place.'
He continued: 'I'm going to give it to all my friends at Christmas, it will be a funny present.
'My friends
all think the calendar is really funny. It's a mick take almost. It's
the first calendar I've done and it was good fun. I really enjoyed it
and I just hope people like it.
'Apparently the Calendar Club said there is a lot of interest in it.'
Although the 18-year-old might look as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, some of the shots featured in the calendar reveal that he has a saucy side.
Among the photos are several shirtless shots, including one that sees him wrestling with a turquoise fine knit jumper.
Unsurprisingly though, Tom, of Plymouth, Devon, says his favourite picture falls on his birthday month of May, which shows him receiving his bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics.
In total, nine of

action shots.
The remaining images show off Daley's conservative sense of style, including a scrubbed up shot of the diver sporting a lilac cotton shirt.
Although Daley has never modelled in an advertising campaign, he's no stranger to editorial photo shoots and has posed - in varying states of undress - for numerous British magazines and newspapers.

You may not have yet heard of Lucky's Tale, but if you're going to be testing the waters of virtual reality anytime soon, there's a good chance you will. We sat down with the mastermind behind VR's answer to Super Mario Bros., to talk about the making of the Oculus Rift launch title, the challenges that went along with it and the potential parallels between early VR and early Walt Disney.Read More
Not all that long ago a bag of marbles or a deck of cards might have been the go-to tools for a bit of family fun, but today's households harbor all kinds of games, both virtual and real-world. Combining the two by bringing robotics into the mix promises an interesting blend of education and entertainment, something startup CutThroatRobotics is aiming to achieve with ZoZbot. A basic omnidirectional rover at a minimum and a customizable, multi-purpose gaming platform at most, ZoZbot can be put to work in everything from lounge room floor soccer matches to table-top games of pool.Read More
A few decades ago, the Nintendos and Segas of the world used to bundle a flagship title with their gaming consoles: be it Super Mario Bros. or Sonic the Hedgehog. That doesn't happen with today's systems, apart from special edition bundles – which often cost around US$50 more than buying the system by itself. With VR, though, Oculus is going one-up on those old-school game consoles, bundling not just one but two highly-anticipated games with the Oculus Rift. When we add this together with some other recent clues, we think this could mean roughly a $500-600 price tag for the Rift.Read More

Now that the Samsung Gear VR is a full-fledged consumer product, you might be wondering whether there's enough quality content to make it worth your while. Fortunately there's a damn good early selection that's growing at a steady pace. Let's break down the best Gear VR games (and other content) you can download today.Read More
The release of Google Cardboard last year gave a lot of us an early taste of the "nearly here" world of virtual reality. Early content offerings were pretty underwhelming, but to be fair, it was only ever meant for developers and was not released as a consumer product. That hasn't stopped developers from getting on board early and producing and distributing new content – some of which is genuinely worthy of downloading. Here's a look at our favorite VR experiences for Google Cardboard.Read More
Although "gaming" today usually means the mobile, PC or console variety, there's still much fun and/or chaos to be had at the tabletop.

Not your typical Orange County pop-punk band, Retriever drench their tunes in layers of distortion, while never losing their strong sense of melody. Frontman Kevin Castillo describes his music as "Fuzzy Pop, Big Muff Pop, or Space Pop," but there's also a bit of Southeastern pop ala R.E.M. in there as well. Check out "Rollercoaster" as a bridge between Automatic For The People R.E.M. and Spiritualized. Then there's the rousing guitar jam of "Collapsing" that verges on pysch territory. Greatest Moments Of Doubt is Retriever's debut album and shows promise for the band's future, particularly in their use of intriguing dynamics and guitars juxtaposed with just enough electronic elements to keep things interesting.

CoWare and Tensilica Deliver Software Development Solution for Multi-Core Tensilica-Based Platforms
New Software Releases From CoWare and Tensilica Support Advanced Software Development Capabilities of The CoWare Platform Architect and Virtual Platform Technology
SAN JOSE, Calif. & SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- December 16, 2009 -- CoWare®, Inc., the leading supplier of Electronic System Virtualization™ (ESV) software and services, and Tensilica®, Inc., the leading provider of configurable dataplane processor cores (DPUs), announced they have collaborated to further enhance the integration of Tensilica's processor models into the CoWare tools to support CoWare's advanced functionality to ease software development on multi-core Tensilica-based SOC (system-on-chip)designs. The enhanced solution is being used by joint CoWare-Tensilica customers in automotive, consumer and wireless markets.
CoWare virtual platforms are the virtualized representation of an electronic system used for the purpose of software development. It removes the dependency on the availability of expensive hardware prototypes and development test benches and provides cost-effective software development capabilities for debugging and analysis. The updated integration of Tensilica's DPUs enables:
- Enhanced debug visibility combining CoWare Virtual Platform Analyzer with Tensilica's software debugger;
- Reproducibility and predictability through a full scripting environment;
- High-speed simulation performance for the Tensilica subsystem thanks to the TurboXim mode of Tensilica's ISS models;
- Multi-core software development solution through debug synchronization and debug and analysis visibility across all cores in the system.
The joint CoWare-Tensilica Processor Support Package (PSP) solution has been actively used by customers worldwide to explore the best architecture for a given application combining the versatility of the Tensilica cores with the architecture design solution from CoWare. Based on customer demand, this joint solution has been significantly enhanced to address the increased software development challenges of today's multi-core designs. The unique combination of features, targeting the architect as well as the software developer, enables the joint solution to be used throughout the design process starting from the definition phase, then the development phase through to the deployment phase.
"CoWare's ESV tools have been widely adopted by some of our largest customers," said Steve Roddy, vice president of marketing, Tensilica. "Software development on multi-core designs is becoming increasingly critical to create differentiating products. Our partnership with CoWare is offering joint customers a unique solution to cope with the complexity and significantly pull in the design schedule with the ability to develop software before the hardware is available."
"Tensilica cores are being used in a wide variety of applications," said Marc Serughetti, vice president of marketing and business development at CoWare. "The power and flexibility of the configurable cores enables customers to combine multiple versions of the Tensilica cores in one design. The partnership between our two companies addresses multi-processor platform exploration and reuse, and early software development – by providing the best design and software development environment for our joint customers."
Tensilica Xtensa® and Diamond Standard PSPs are available immediately from CoWare as part of the CoWare Model Library.

Place where hi-vis blokes eat healthy
Relevant offers
Eat and Drink
Di McCauley refuses to be a "wellness warrior".
Where many nutritionists have spurned caffeine, she has embraced it and made it a core part of her business.
At the Pure Cafe Co in Middleton, the coffee machine is humming and the cabinets are stocked with poached chicken, protein, and gluten-free treats - not a trans-fat in sight.
Surprisingly, it all looks delicious.
It's full of blokes dressed in hi-vis and workboots waiting for a lean vege wrap or chickpea salad.
When McCauley set up in Birmingham Drive, a nearby businessman said if she wasn't going to sell pies and sausage rolls, she may as well forget it.
Three months on, she has proven him wrong, and then some.
McCauley, a clinical nutritionist with 15 years experience under her belt, knows how hard it is for busy people to eat right.
She and husband Mike, a personal trainer, started Mint Health and Fitness in Victoria St in 2008. The gym has always offered nutritional advice.
When the earthquake wiped out the central city gym, they reopened in Peterborough St and fell into the cafe game almost accidentally.
"A lot of people we were seeing were super stressed and there was nowhere to buy healthy food," she says. "We had this idea to do a food truck and originally we planned on selling porridge."
The first Pure Cafe Co was born in shipping containers on Bealey Ave, and is not only surviving, but expanding.
The second cafe in Middleton is part of the new flagship Mint gym.
"It's putting healthy food and exercise together," McCauley says.
"What I think is happening, is clean food.
"People want less fussy food, less fine dining."
Pure provides exactly that - sugar-free, additive and preservative-free, free-range food.
Sceptics approach Pure warily, ready to jump on the "flavourless, joy-free food" bandwagon, but McCauley is ready.
She has three wholefoods chefs on staff who ensure the food they make is not only healthy, but tastes good too.
"People think if you're clean eating it's boring, but every day we have people coming in here who can't believe our food is healthy."
Nothing is supersized, not even the coffee.
"It's about getting back for your buck nutritionally," she says.
While Pure is all about health, McCauley actively avoids shoving the health factor down people's throats.
"There's been a kind of healthy uprising, which means we aren't seen as freaks and health warriors, and we don't want to be.
"How bad would life be without coffee?
"A cup or two a day, isn't going to be detrimental to your health."

This whole "screw the BcS" thing could be catching on.We previously mentioned that Utah coach Kyle Whittingham plans to vote for the Vandalay Sugar Bowl champion Utes as the top team in the USA Today poll. Now, Texas coach Mack Brown plans to pencil in the Longhorns as the best team in the land, after they won the Vandalay Fiesta Bowl."I wasn't sure before," Brown said after Texas beat Ohio State, "but Friday morning I'm going to vote Texas No. 1 because I think this is the best team in the country."There's a question as to whether the coaches who vote in the poll physically can cast a ballot for anyone other than the winner of Thursday night's BcS National Championship game. Someone from the AFCA recently suggested that the process begins by voting for the No. 2 team.Still, if there's way around it, count on Mack Brown to find it.Even if he's voting for the wrong team. He should be breaking ranks not to vote for Texas, but for the CFT National Champions from Utah.
Veteran secondary starter dismissed by Colorado State
With the start of summer camp just up the block and around the corner, Colorado State has seen its secondary take a rather significant hit.
A CSU official has confirmed to the Loveland Reporter Herald that Preston Hodges has been dismissed from Mike Bobo's football program. The Reporter Herald writes that Hodges "had become academically ineligible and was dismissed from the team."
The past three seasons, Hodges had started 28 games in the Rams' secondary. Eight of those starts came at cornerback last season.
Exiting the spring, the senior Hodges was listed No. 2 on the depth chart at one of the safety spots.
In addition to Hodges, offensive lineman Blake Nowland is no longer on the team's roster. There was no reason given for his departure.
After playing in three games as a redshirt freshman in 2014, Nowland missed the entire 2015 season because of a broken leg.
Heisman Trophy odds see change at the top
There is a new preseason favorite for the 2016 Heisman Trophy, at least as far as Bovada is concerned.
The betting service Tuesday listed LSU running back Leonard Fournette checks in with the best odds at 9/2. He moved ahead of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, whose odds went from 9/2 in January to 5/1 now.
Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey's odds moved to 11/2 while Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, Florida State running back Dalvin Cook and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield are all at 12/1.
Several players were added to the board since January, including UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen (16/1), Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough (20/1) and Baylor quarterback Jarrett Stidham (28/1).
The group of newcomers also includes both of the competitors to be Notre Dame's starting quarterback. DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire are both set at 28/1.
Oklahoma DB facing charges after early morning arrest
Oklahoma defensive back Jordan Thomas was arrested early Thursday morning and stands accused of three offenses.
Cleveland (Oklahoma) County sheriff arrest records show the 20-year-old Thomas was booked at 2:45 a.m. on charges of assault and battery, public intoxication and interference.
A school spokesperson told The Tulsa World the department is aware of and monitoring the situation.
Thomas, who reportedly has been released on bond, was second on the Sooners with nine pass defended last season and was credited with 46 tackles. He had five interceptions.
The World notes Thomas has been in trouble both with the law and the team previously.
Thomas was jailed in Grady County before last year's Orange Bowl after failing to appear in court following a traffic citation.
The junior also has faced issues on the team. He missed the first quarter of the 2015 opener against Akron and the entire Tulsa game for undisclosed disciplinary reasons.
The Sooners won the Big 12 last season and made the College Football Playoff.
They are expected to be contenders again this season and have a showdown with Ohio State looming in Norman on Sept. 17.
Joker Phillips among Urban Meyer's new hires at Ohio State
Ohio State has quietly added Joker Phillips and Brian Knorr — two experienced college coaches — to Urban Meyer's staff.
Although the athletics department has not made an announcement yet, Phillips is listed in Ohio State's employee directory as a sports program associate with the working title of "Football QC – kicking," which presumably means he is a quality control assistant for the Ohio State kicking game.
Knorr is listed simply as an athletics intern.
Of the two, Phillips is the more experienced. Now 53, he began his coaching career as a G.A. at Kentucky, his alma mater, and eventually spent six seasons as a full-time receivers coach for the Wildcats in the early 1990s.
He also coached at Minnesota, Notre Dame and South Carolina before returning to Lexington as an assistant and eventually rising to head coach in 2010.
The Wildcats went just 13-24 in his three seasons, and he spent last year as wide receivers coach of the Cleveland Browns. He also spent a season coaching receivers at Florida, where he was found guilty of a level two recruiting violation.
Knorr was most recently the defensive coordinator at Indiana. He spent two seasons in Bloomington after six at Wake Forest.
A Kansas native, he played quarterback at Air Force and previously worked in the Buckeye State as an assistant to Jim Grobe and then Frank Solich at Ohio University from 1995-2004.
The Hoosiers ranked last in the Big Ten in scoring defense and total defense last season, and he was replaced by Tom Allen in January.

Horizon Logistics, LLC, has launched an international ocean shipping service to offer supply chain solutions to U.S. importers and exporters. Horizon Logistics has been licensed by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to operate as a non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC). As an NVOCC, Horizon Logistics is able to issue its own bills of lading and public tariffs, utilizing the service of vessel operating partners. The first shipments moving under this new service were loaded during the week of Jan. 19
"Our entrance into the international ocean shipping arena is actually a re-entrance," said Brian Taylor, President of Horizon Logistics. "Many of our staff members started their careers at Sea-Land Service, Inc., the company that started our business and pioneered container shipping 52 years ago, and was a leading international ocean carrier for decades."
While the company will serve all international trades, Horizon Logistics initially will focus on serving the transpacific trade lanes between Asia and North America, offering competitive ocean rates, inland logistics services and arranging for Customs clearance for integrated import/export solutions.
