Oak Glen defeated Fairmont Senior, 25-3, 25-11, 25-3, and Oak Glen defeated Weir, 25-18, 25-11, 25-14. The Golden Bears are now 5-0 on the season against the Red Riders. Oak Glen has won all 12 games the two rivals have played so far this season.
All told, Oak Glen spent less than an hour-and-a-half on the court en route to winning six-straight games and two-straight matches.
With the two wins, the Golden Bears are now 35-6 on the season. Oak Glen will now play in the Region 1 Tournament at 10 a.m. Saturday down at East Fairmont High School. The Red Riders also qualified for the regional tournament.
"It was a good night," veteran Oak Glen head coach Ethel Riser said. "I would have liked to have had it a little tougher against Weir, but I guess we didn't have to be."
Oak Glen was the top seed in the tournament. Weir was the No. 2 seed. East Fairmont was seeded third. Fairmont Senior was the No. 4 seed. North Marion was seeded fifth.
The Golden Bears are 9-0 in matches against teams from their section.
The Golden Bears dispatched the Polar Bears in less than 40 minutes of time on the court. Fairmont Senior was never able to really get anything going against Oak Glen.
For the Golden Bears, Sydney Kell collected 30 points, five aces, 45 sets, 17 assists and one spike, Lacee Porter recorded 14 points, four aces, four spikes nine kills and one block and Morgan Poling produced one point, three spikes, nine kills and one block.
Also, Kaityln Smith tallied nine points, one ace and two digs, Madison Juszczak delivered four spikes, one kill and one block and Carissa Williams contributed seven sets and two assists.
Next, Vanessa Hissam had three spikes, five kills and on dig, Abby Tice chipped in with two points and one spike and Jessica Stivason ended up with one spike and two kills.
Finally, Jessica Hutton finished with five points, two aces, three spikes and one kill.
The Bees advanced to the semifinals by defeating the Huskies in four games in the quarterfinals Wednesday night at Fairmont Senior.
The Golden Bears entered the sectional tournament on a two-game losing streak. Oak Glen lost its final two matches Oct. 23 down at Parkersburg. Oak Glen defeated Woodrow Wilson before falling to Cabell Midland and Parkersburg.
The losing streak was the Golden Bears' first of the season. Now, it is just a distant memory.
"It was good," Riser said about the time off between matches. "We have been practicing hard. We have been working on numerous things. We still have some things we needed to work on. We made some serious mistakes tonight that could end up hurting us later on.
"We are going to practice tomorrow. We will have those mistakes corrected tomorrow. It will only take a day to fix."
Weir advanced to the title tilt by defeating the Bees in three games.
The Red Riders put forth a much-stronger fight than the Polar Bears. Weir led a couple different times during the match. The Red Riders led 8-1 at one point in the third game before the Golden Bears stormed back en route to recording the sweep.
For Oak Glen, Kell tallied 12 points, 59 sets, 13 assists and one spike, Hissam scored 10 points to go along with one ace, eight spikes, eight kills, two blocks and three digs and Poling picked up 10 points, one ace, five spikes, four kills, two blocks and eight digs.
Also, Porter produced six points, one ace, seven spikes, 11 kills and five digs, Stivason netted seven spikes, nine kills and three blocks and Juszczak contributed six points, two spikes and one kill.
Next, Williams delivered 22 sets and three assists, Smith chipped in with four points and three digs and Hutton ended up with three spikes and one kill.
Finally, Tice tallied 10 digs.
"It means we have a real-god shot at making it to the state tournament," Riser about what winning the sectional title means for her team. "We will be the No. 1 seed. We will be playing the No. 2 team out of Section 2. It will give us the upperhand."
Like the sectional tournament, two teams will advance from the regional tournament to the state tournament. The state tournament is scheduled to be held Nov. 9-10 down at the Charleston Civic Center.
Oak Glen won the state title last year.
"Everyone wants to knock you off when you are on top," Riser said. "Everyone plays their best against you. We have faced that all year."

A Tulsa woman says vandals damaged her nativity scene.
Cyndie Gardner says it broke her heart because her father-in-law bought the display before he died. The baby Jesus was stolen and replaced with an egg, Gardner says.
"For someone to take baby Jesus out of the manger that is like a desecration, that's like an unholy act. That's just a horrible thing," said Gardner.
She is offering a cash reward for the return of the baby Jesus. Gardner says she is offering the reward no questions asked.

Biosimilars Analytical Characterization and Comparability Studies
Dr. Nanda Subbarao, Senior Consultant, Biologics Consulting Group
Coming soon.. Please contact customer care for new schedule
Course Description:
Analytical Strategy is a critical element of Biosimilar product development plan. A comprehensive Analytical package which meets current regulatory expectations will minimize the amount of clinical studies and therefore control costs of the Biosimilar development program.
This is a rapidly evolving topic and the industry needs to keep up with the current expectations. The draft Revision1 of the EU Biosimilar Quality guidance was issued in May 2012 and is currently open for comments. The FDA guidance on Quality Considerations in Demonstrating Biosimilarity To a Reference Protein Product is expected this year. Other regions of the world continue to publish Biosimilar Guidance and their revisions and several scientific publications which present the industry point of view have been published recently.

TestimonialsWhat past attendees say about ComplianceOnline Seminars
The presenter, Nanda, was knowledgeable and brought up some interesting challenges faced when dealing with OOS, stability and method validation activities. I felt the entire seminar was relevant to my job, which is a rarity. I plan on using the material and ideas from the seminar to evaluate some of the approaches we are currently taking. I felt I could have used a little more time listening/ talking with the presenter. I was also impressed that Nanda responded quickly to a question I had after the seminar via e-mail.
Nanda's In-Person Seminar was one of the best seminar I attended. Many time we look at work place as the best place to work and we ignore the minor and major improvements that could be done in the facility. After attending the seminar I look at my work place as an Auditor and I definitely see the potential improvement area. In future I would like to attend more seminars with ComplianceOnline.
I found this seminar to be very informative and educational. Dr. Subbarao provided expert guidance on key industry topics and practical advice on ways to maintain compliance. She was engaging and a very effective speaker. I would recommend this class with Dr. Subbarao.
I've attended quite a few seminars by different training providers but ComplianceOnline was by and far the best - the courses are well designed and up to date with the latest developments and the support staff are always helpful, ready to answer your queries.
The instructor was not only active and helpful during the seminar and workshop, but was available to answer resulting queries after the event as well.
Local Attractions
San Diego Cabrillo National Monument
The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.
Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
La Jolla
In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.

A Bel Air Estate With Winery Lists for $29.5 Million
A Bel Air estate with winery and a home built by Hollywood director Victor Fleming lists for $29.5 million; Software entrepreneur Vinny Smith buys a Lake Tahoe home once owned by late casino mogul Bill Harrah for $8.5 million
The 13-acre Bel Air estate and winery of the Moraga Vineyards owners is for sale for $29.5 million.
The 7,500-square-foot main home has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, an octagonal dressing room and maid's quarters. A guesthouse across a large lawn has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Hollywood director Victor Fleming, known for "Gone With the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz," built the home in the 1930s. Most rooms open up to a large garden with a lap pool.
The property includes vineyards and a 2,300-square-foot winery that produces about 1,500 cases a year, says listing agent Jim Kline of Surterre Properties in Newport Beach, Calif. There are also staff quarters, a tasting room and wine cave and about $4 million of wine inventory included in the sale, Mr. Kline says.
Sellers Tom and Ruth Jones bought the property in 1959 and began planting vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in the late 1970s, after they determined that the soil content was similar to that of France's Bordeaux region. Mr. Kline says the couple is selling because they're getting older and are ready to pass on the vineyard to "someone who will carry on their story."

Historic Hacienda: New Mexico Ranch Goes on the Market for $15.1 Million
Outside of Santa Fe, N.M., the ranch of Helen LaKelly Hunt, daughter of Hunt Oil founder H.L. Hunt, and her husband, Harville Hendrix, is on the market for $15.1 million.
The main 263-acre property, called Rancho de Abiquiú, has a 12,273-square-foot hacienda with eight bedrooms, eight full baths and two half-baths, along with kiva fireplaces and a front door that dates back to the 1940s. The hacienda, which was built in the 1800s, has been renovated several times. A second 2,570-square-foot home, a Victorian house built in the late 1890s, has four bedrooms and 3½ baths. The property has more than a mile of frontage on the Chama River.
Included in the sales price, or available on its own for $5.65 million, is the Plaza Colorada, 5,800 acres of property that originally was a Spanish settlement and then divided into its current arrangement in the late 1730s. There's also an additional 90 acres of farmland, which on its own is available for $990,000.
Ms. Hunt and Mr. Hendrix bought the property in 1992, says listing agent Maureen Mestas. They're selling because their trips to the ranch have become less frequent, she says.
Ms. Mestas, of Sotheby's International Realty in Santa Fe, shares the listing with Jarred Conley, also of Sotheby's.
Once Asking $17.9 Million, a Lake Tahoe Home Sells for $8.5 Million
Software entrepreneur Vinny Smith has paid $8.5 million for a waterfront home at Lake Tahoe that once belonged to the late casino mogul Bill Harrah.
Mr. Smith is the former chairman and chief executive officer of Quest Software, which he sold to Dell for $2.4 billion in a deal that closed last September. Mr. Smith plans to rent the house out for parties and events and later renovate it to make the style more "mountain contemporary," says Jean Merkelbach of Sierra Sotheby's International Realty, who represented Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith was attracted to the home's location in Nevada as well as its proximity to the skiing at the Heavenly Mountain Resort at nearby south Lake Tahoe, adds Ms. Merkelbach. Ms. Merkelbach also represented the seller, Richard Costa. Mr. Costa sold the house for health reasons as he can no longer be in the high altitude, says Mr. Merkelbach. The house most recently had an asking price of $12 million, down from a previous asking price of $17.9 million.
The 20,000-square-foot home on the east shore of Lake Tahoe was built in 1963 and includes eight bedrooms, nine full baths, two half baths, a theater, a pier, a pool and a beach. According to Ms. Merkelbach, Mr. Harrah, founder of Harrah's Hotel and Casinos, called the home "Villa Harrah" and used it for entertaining celebrities including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.

Chaz Bono is a changed man.
The LGBT activist showed off a much different side at Tuesday night's Dancing with the Stars's 300th anniversary celebration, compared to when he competed on the show in 2011.
"I'm feeling really good," the once-timid son of Cher told PEOPLE at the Boulevard 3-held event in Hollywood. "I'd love to do Dancing all over again. I'd do it much better now than I did it then."
Bono, 44, owes much of his new positive outlook to his 65-lb. weight loss journey, which began in November.
"Physically, my body feels just so much better," he said. "I'm in a lot less discomfort when I exercise and am doing physical stuff. All of my numbers are all normal now, which is great – my blood pressure, my cholesterol. I just have a lot more confidence, and that feels really cool. I really like what I see in the mirror."
Although he says the weight loss is "slowing down now and getting harder," he also says, "To me, it was never really about a number. It was just about getting healthy and feeling and looking better. So I'm just kind of letting my body dictate. I've been eating the same way now for months and months and that hasn't changed. I'm going to have to eat this way for the rest of my life."
In February, Bono told PEOPLE that the plan is challenging because there are still things he misses eating. Now, he says those are feelings of the past.
"[I have no cravings] at all anymore," he says. "I really feel very satisfied and comfortable with the way I eat now, which is amazing and for me, kind of a miracle. I never thought I'd be that kind of a person."
Since splitting from fiancée, Jennifer Elia, at the end of 2011 and losing weight, Bono is looking for love.
"I'm dating, but I'm just dating around," he says. "I haven't met the right one yet, so I'm looking."

Hatter pitchers had thrown four, including Brittani Houghton's no-hitter of Glenville State a month earlier (Feb. 5, 2005). But prior to the March 4 meeting with Maine, no Stetson pitcher had tossed a perfect game (relax, we can't jinx it after the fact).
Houghton, a senior and one of four pitchers on the squad, was 3-2 with a 1.75 ERA entering the game against the Black Bears. She got to off to good start, fielding a bunt to lead-off the game, then recording a strikeout and a ground out for a 1-2-3 first inning.
In the bottom of the first Houghton led off with a single and stole second, but would move no further.
Houghton again retired the side in order in the second, starting a run of what would be four straight strikeouts that carried all the way through the top the third inning.
She helped herself at the plate again in the bottom of the third, singling to lead off the inning and this time scoring on an RBI single by Melissa Wiggins. Two more Hatters would score in the frame as Stetson took a 3-0 lead.
Two ground outs and a fly out sent the Bears down in order again in the fourth, although Brittany Cheney's fly to left was the first ball Maine had hit out of the infield.
Houghton ignited a fourth-inning rally as well. With one out she singled up the middle and scored on Carrie Cruit's two-run homer which made it 5-0 Stetson after four.
Two more strikeouts for Houghton in the top of the fifth gave her seven on the day, and a fly out to right field kept her perfect through five. She headed to the dugout thinking there were still six more outs needed to nail down the win.
Jessica King led off the bottom of the fifth with a walk and moved to second on a throwing error off of a Jenny Diaz bunt. After Terri Lake walked to load the bases, head coach Frank Griffin decided to call for a pinch-hitter, junior J.J. Payette. Only 1-for-6 on the season, Payette wasted no time at the plate, smashing a game-winning grand slam on the very first pitch she saw. It was her second career home run and marked the first walk-off grand slam by any player in Patricia Wilson Field history.
"After the game, the late-great Stetson University President, Dr. H. Douglas Lee, came up to me and shook my hand," Payette recalls. "He called me by name, told me how proud he was and how much he enjoyed the game. I don't think there is a more uniquely Stetson experience in my memory."
The hit gave Stetson a 9-0 run-rule victory over Maine and gave Houghton her first career perfect game.
"I do remember the game against Maine, but what I remember most vividly was JJ's grand slam," Houghton recalls. "We jumped up and ran out of the dugout so quick that I didn't realize the game was over! So it didn't hit me that I'd thrown a perfect game until we were walking out to right field to meet, but I remember it was an incredible feeling and made me so thankful that I had a team on the field behind me who'd made it possible. It was one of the most fun games I've ever played and it ended in the perfect way!"
It would be five more years before a Hatter threw another perfect game at home (Amanda Lindsey, 2010, also vs. Maine), but Houghton's five-inning gem and coach JJ's walk-off granny rank as the #9 Top Game in Patricia Wilson Field history.

The Jeep brand and USA Basketball have teamed up in a partnership naming the Jeep Wrangler "the Official Vehicle of USA Basketball" to support the men's and women's national teams.
As part of the partnership, Jeep also rolled out a uniquely designed special edition model, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Altitude Edition, which will be featured in the campaign.
"Each member of the USA Basketball team embodies inner strength, passion, a drive to win and a true sense of dedication they use to not only represent their team, but also their country," said Mike Manley, president and CEO, Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "The Jeep brand is proud to be on the same team as these talented men and women. Both symbolize American pride, a strong history, a humble spirit, integrity, courage and leadership."
"We are proud to have the Jeep brand's support of USA Basketball as we prepare to represent our country both on and off the court this summer," said Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball chairman. "The defining characteristics of these two American brands make the affiliation feel natural, and the strategic buildup of USA Basketball-themed events, along with the comprehensive advertising and marketing campaign, will put the Jeep brand top of mind with sports fans around the world."
Chris Paul, the 2012 USA Basketball finalist and 2008 team member, has been named as the official spokesman for this partnership. He will be featured in the Jeep brand's advertising campaign and appear in a series of video vignettes that will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at various facets of the partnership with USA Basketball.
"Like all Jeep brand vehicles, Chris Paul defines the meaning of true athleticism and capability. We greatly admire his philanthropic efforts and dedication to giving back to the community. His altruistic nature, compassion and drive perfectly aligns with the Jeep brand values and makes him a great fit for this initiative," said Manley.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014
If the October county tax bills could fit more letters, the countys newest tax could have had a different name: Unfunded EPA federal mandate stormwater fee.
But instead, it will simply be called the stormwater utility fee.
Regardless of name, the tax will be a $48 fee beginning in 2016 for unincorporated home owners. Over the next two years it will be phased in, starting with $36 to be paid in October. The fee in 2015 will be $42.
Berkeley County Council voted 5-2 Monday to create a new utility.
Berkeley County was the only coastal S.C. county without a stormwater utility up until now.
During the July 28 meeting, some council members expressed disapproval of the utility, but the majority agreed it needed to be created. Councilman Tim Callanan, who voted for the creation of the utility, requested that the line item added to tax payers bills in October read, Unfunded EPA federal mandate stormwater fee.
It wont fit federal unfunded mandate. We might could abbreviate it but then it wont serve the purpose (of educating the public), county Information Technology Director Chip Boling said.
In 2012, the county spent $240,000; the next year, $380,000. But now costs are expected to nearly quadruple as the Environmental Protection Agencys Clean Water Act mandates the program expand.
Due to that increased cost of an estimated $1.4 million, the county has moved forward with forming a utility to charge taxpayers, according to Engineering Director Frank Carson.
In 2011, council defeated an effort to pay for the program. At the time, the annual fee was proposed at $36 but later lowered to $12. Following a vote to defeat the measure, council decided to continue to pay for stormwater fees from the general fund.

30. Bryan Holaday (C)
Holaday received a very brief six-game cameo with the Tigers in 2012, filling in when the Tigers primary catchers were hobbled, and he received a vote of confidence from GM Dave Dombrowski at the outset of the offseason. A strong defensive catcher and exceptional leader, Holaday has all the ingredients to be a top notch backup catcher at the Major League level. His offensive game lags significantly behind and he likely will never be able to support a full time job, but he should be able to give Alex Avila a rest once a week throughout the 2013 season.
29. Brandon Loy (SS)
In classic Tigers fashion, the glove-first Loy was a high pick in hopes that they could coax a little extra offense out of him. Loy played a bunch of second base in 2012 but he has more than enough chops to handle the left side of the infield. The time at another position should help him develop excellent versatility with the glove. Loy can handle the bat and play situational baseball but he lacks the true hitting ability or strength to make an impact in the batter's box. His profile sits squarely in the utility range, but he could move quickly to fill that role in Detroit.
28. Alex Burgos (LHP)
The Tigers delayed Burgos' 2011 debut to allow him to gain additional strength and add velocity. That worked, allowing his fastball to scrape the average level, but that increase in strength has at least temporarily compromised his ability to control his arsenal. Burgos still shows a promising three-pitch mix, including a curveball that earns solid reviews, but he has to throw more strikes to allow the depth of his arsenal to have an impact as he moves through the minor leagues. Burgos has the potential to develop into a number four starter if he begins to locate the ball again.
27. Dixon Machado (SS)
If you have the pleasure of watching Dixon Machado play defense, make sure you don't miss that opportunity. He has an outstanding glove, including exceptional range, elite hands and overall abilities that have earned plus-plus grades from scouts. His arm is even better, standing in the 70-80 range on the 20-80 scouting scale, and nearly earning giggles from scouts. For all of his defensive gifts, Machado lack offensive potential. While he understands the strike zone and works at bats, he lacks the strength to impact the ball and doesn't project to hit much, if at all. He has first division potential with even modest offensive production, but that projection comes with considerable risk.
26. Logan Ehlers (LHP)
Ehlers could have ranked higher on this list, but late season arm fatigue slowed his momentum and as he has yet to show his stuff in full-season ball, some skepticism remains. A lefty with premium stuff and excellent feel for his craft, he is a prospect that should have gone much higher in the 2012 draft. If everything comes back well after surgery, Ehlers could feature a plus fastball and two or three average secondary pitch, making him a dangerous pitcher with mid-rotation ceiling. Tiger fans may need to wait until 2014 to truly understand what they have in Ehlers, but he could be worth the wait.
25. Luke Putkonen (RHP)
Putkonen exploded onto the scene during spring training last year, pumping fastballs as high as 96-97 mph and a slider that was better than he had shown in nearly two years. His explosive arsenal came with a move to the bullpen where his efforted delivery worked a little better and he didn't have to worry about saving his stuff for the later innings. Putkonen has seventh or eighth inning potential and he should see additional time in Detroit next year.
24. Dean Green (1B)
Dubbing Green a first baseman is generous, but that's not why he's ranked this high. Green's entire profile as a prospect centers on his ability to hit, and hit for power. Green is a very natural hitter with the potential to reach the .300 range during his peak seasons. He has a good approach at the plate that leads to both walks and hitter's counts. When he gets pitches in the strike zone, he can drive them to all parts of the park with at least plus power. Green is a bat-only prospect and he will have to mash every step of the way, but his natural offensive abilities give him a chance as a prospect.
23. Brenny Paulino (RHP)
Paulino was one of the Tigers' fastest rising prospect entering the 2012 season, before pre-season arm soreness and eventual shoulder surgery sidelined him for the entire season, with uncertainty still remaining on the severity of the injury. Despite his skinny frame, Paulino has plus to plus-plus velocity and some scouts think there is more in the tank. Heading into the year he remained far more thrower than pitcher and his secondary pitches lagged behind his heater. Paulino still has tremendous potential, but his already high risk level has been elevated because of his injury. He should be watched closely in 2013 as he tries to re-establish himself as a big time prospect.
22. Joe Rogers (LHP)
The Tigers fifth round pick in June, on the surface, Rogers appears to be a classic polished college pitcher. After you keep digging and watch him pitch for a while, it becomes clear that he still has some development remaining and some potential to unlock. Rogers has experience as a reliever and could rocket through the Tigers' system in that role, but there is some merit to having him start and see how he develops in that role. Rogers will head to full-season ball in 2013 and both his performance and role could determine his timeline from there.
21. Curt Casali (C)
Casali is the best defensive catcher in the Tigers' system, offering excellent receiving ability, good leadership and at least above-average catch-and-throw skills. In addition to his top defensive billing, Casali has some offensive potential as well. He knows the strike zone and has a solid feel for the barrel, allowing his fringe-average power to play in games. Of the current Tigers' catching prospects, Casali offers the best all-around potential and at least a chance to be an everyday guy.

NVIDIA Mirrors Qualcomm's Hot Streak With Earnings Surprise of Its Own
Jason Mick

NVIDIA unleashes its metaphorical can of "whoop ass"
There was a time -- back in 2010 -- when NVIDIA Corp. (
) looked a bit lost. A resurgent Radeon brand, now owned by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (
), was
punishing it in the discrete graphics market
with the Radeon HD 5000 series devices, and analysts were scratching their heads in puzzlement at NVIDIA's focus on GPU computing.
And NVIDIA's
Tegra system-on-a-chip effort
was largely written off, as NVIDIA couldn't seem to figure out what it wanted to do with it -- netbooks? Mobile devices? No one could quite tell.
I. A Young Power in the Mobile Market
Fast-forward three years and NVIDIA is in a far different -- and far better -- position. GPU computing is an exploding field and NVIDIA has
large purchase orders
from the hottest new deployments. It's back to
scoring wins
in the gaming graphics market.
And most importantly Tegra has exploded, seizing a commanding stake in the mobile device system-on-a-chip (SoC) market.
In calendar/fiscal Q3 2012, NVIDIA
large earnings and revenue surprises, delivered thanks to its SoC and GPU market gains. Revenue fell in at $1.204B USD (GAAP), pleasantly above the consensus of $1.192B USD estimated by 33 analysts
surveyed by
The Financial Times
Tegra 3 drove NVIDIA to a big profit surprise.
much like system-on-a-chip archrival Qualcomm
, Inc. (
), the biggest surprise lay not on the revenue, but on the net income (profit) front. NVIDIA pocketed a whopping $209M USD, ($0.33 USD/share), above the most optimistic estimate of $203M USD ($0.32 USD/share) from the analyst crowd, and even higher above the average estimate of $187M USD.
NVIDIA's at times colorful and divisive chief executive officer and president, Jen Hsun Huang crowed, "Investments in our new growth strategies paid off this quarter in record revenues and margins. Kepler GPUs are winning across the special-purpose PC markets we serve, from gaming to design to supercomputing. And Tegra is powering some of the most innovative tablets, phones and cars in the market."
The chipmaker decided to share the wealth with its shareholders, offering up a 7.5 cent dividend.
Capital expenditures for NVIDIA have grown as the company sharpens its focus on bleeding edge system-on-a-chip research. NVIDIA estimates that it will spend $50M to $60M USD next quarter on R&D and other CAPEX.
II. Gloom for Q4, But It Could be Worse
Looking ahead, while NVIDIA's Q3 results mirror Qualcomm's, its Q4 estimates are
than its rivals. NVIDIA estimates that revenue will dip to between $1.025B and $1.175B USD on a slowing global economy, versus the traditional bump in the holiday season.
One possible reason why NVIDIA is more worried than Qualcomm is that much of its earnings are still driven by sales of high-end (
) hardware (GPUs) for traditional consumer and enterprise systems. When the economy slumps, these sales tend to suffer the most, as users consolidate their buying power towards cheaper mobile devices. In that regard, a mix mobile/traditional chipmaker like NVIDIA will likely be hurt more by a downturn than a solely mobile-centric chipmaker like Qualcomm.
A slowing economy is expected to dent NVIDIA's Q4 earnings.
However, NVIDIA's better-than-expected earnings do represent good news in a couple of ways. First, NVIDIA and Qualcomm represent a reasonably good barometer by which to gauge the health of the mobile market. And by the looks of it, mobile is flourishing at a time when other less fortunate markets find themselves facing tough financial questions.
Second, NVIDIA enjoys a key psychological advantage over Qualcomm in that it's pumping out quad-core units of its latest and greatest Tegra 3 processor, while Qualcomm's current Snapdragon 4 offerings are mostly constrained to dual-core CPUs. That's a big reason why NVIDIA is thus far
outpacing Qualcomm in design wins
in the emerging Windows RT ARM-based laptop/hybrid device market.
Traditional PCs demand more power, and NVIDIA has been the most aggressive about push higher core-counts in its mobile chips. That decision will likely pay off for the company, and help it ride out the storm ahead in the discrete graphics market.

RE: Nvidia GPU market
Against ref cards. Which only a fool buys as they're no cheaper than heavily OC's Nvidia's out of the box. Does anyone actually sell REF clocked nvidia cards? So I take those benchmarks with a pinch of salt at least. They could at least use a retail card. If you don't get an extra 10-15% free out of the box (no need to modify, they're SOLD OC'd out of the box) you're an idiot.
And not with R310 drivers - Gee didn't take long did it? Today...LOL:
Nvidia's answer to AMD's driver no doubt ;)
GeForce GTX 680:
Up to 26% in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Up to 16% in Battlefield 3
Up to 18% in Assassin's Creed III
Up to 9% in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Up to 6% in Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Up to 6% in StarCraft II
Up to 6% in Dragon Age II
Up to 6% in Batman: Arkham City
Up to 5% in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
GeForce GTX 660:
Up to 24% in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Up to 10% in Battlefield 3
Up to 7% in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Up to 5% in Dragon Age II
Up to 5% in Assassin's Creed III
Up to 4% in Batman: Arkham City
Up to 4% in Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Who buys a reference clocked card on purpose such as the ones used in your link? Does the driver fix the noise and heat that comes with these radeons vs. NV cards? Nope. Does the driver magically give you Cuda or Physx? Nope. Will any driver EVER fix heat noise or ever give you cuda or physx? NOPE. Will the driver magically fix their profits? Nope. NV's driver will be benchmarked in a few weeks after beta and it will be the same story again. Adding more free games just takes more away from profits. This is essentially yet ANOTHER price cut killing their bottom line. It's like taking $30 off their top cards (i figure they're paying around $10 each). STOP NOW AMD. YOU'RE GOING BANKRUPT. You simply can not win a price war with a company that has more money in cash than your entire company is worth. You will LOSE. Never mind the fact you have 2.05B in debt and they have ZERO. Quit GIVING away your cards and start charging MORE or say hello to your Q4 xmas loss. How dumb are you people at amd? And for those cheering the free crap/price cuts constantly it all comes with a price tag. NO COMPETITION IN 2YRS. Which means $500 cards that currently cost $100-200. We don't need AMD going bankrupt. But they seem driven to go there as fast as Obama wants to drive us off the fiscal cliff. Cheer for the free stuff all you want, but realize once it runs out and AMD is gone (like welfare we can't afford) you'll all be paying a far higher price for the next video card.
47million on food stamps and welfare for 20mil illegals=America bankrupt shortly.
3 AAA games free and a half dozen price cuts this year=AMD bankrupt shortly.
Oh and 20% off warfighter...So basically another $10 cut from AMD's top cards.
Retards. You'll all regret voting for a fool handing out welfare to 50% of the country (+20mil illegals free medical/food stamps about to come online), just as you'll all regret AMD giving away more of their NON-Existent profits. AMD is printing money they don't have, just like Obama.
You can't run a country like that, and you can't run a business like that either. IN both cases idiots were hired to run the show (a community organizer who broke Chicago has no idea how to create jobs, he's never run a business - Rory read doesn't design chips or any other product - same story). And in both cases, it won't be long before the SHOW is over.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - In the wake of Friday's tragic killing of 20 elementary school children and 8 adults in Connecticut, it's almost impossible to write about anything else. Everything - the fiscal cliff, the war in Afghanistan, Syria, North Korea, Gaza - pales in comparison.
At the same time, there is hardly anything worth saying. The 24-hour news cycle has shown the horror repeatedly as if somehow it is still news 24 and 48 hours later. There are the predictable calls for tighter gun controls and the equally predictable disgusting attempts by self-styled religious "authorities" to exploit the tragedy by asserting that it is God's punishment for not enough prayer in schools and a host of other agenda-based causes.
Mostly what happens in this situation is a carnival of opining which does nothing other than give the opiners some air time. Somehow we have become a society in which the important distinction between opinion and facts has been lost, and opinions are routinely stated as if they were facts. Let's look at some facts:
• Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass murders (killings involving 4 or more victims) carried out with firearms across the country, in 30 states from Massachusetts to Hawaii.
• Of the 142 guns possessed by the killers, more than three quarters were obtained legally. The arsenal included dozens of assault weapons and semiautomatic handguns.
• Half of the cases involved school or workplace shootings (12 and 19, respectively); the other 31 cases took place in locations including shopping malls, restaurants, government buildings and military bases.
Now you can make any interpretation of those facts you want to - everyone has the right to their opinion - but don't confuse your interpretation with fact. If you say that the fact that three-quarters of the weapons used were obtained legally means that we should ban all guns, it's your right to say that and to believe it. It's not your right to argue it as a self-evident fact; it's not a fact, it's your opinion. Similarly for the idea of arming teachers or having greater security in schools.
Here's an opinion that we keep hearing as if it were a fact: "the problem is that not enough people are armed; if there had been armed people in the theater in Colorado, they would have stopped the shooter before he could kill as many as he did." Here's a fact: In all the 62 mass murders cited above, not one armed person attempted to stop the shooter. It's possible that there were no armed people at any of those shootings, but that seems statistically improbable, particularly in places like Arizona and Colorado that have very loose concealed carry laws.
Here's a fact: A teacher, Victoria Soto, hid her students in a closet on Friday. When the killer confronted her, she told him they were in the gym; he killed her, and her students remained safe. My opinion about that is that it was heroism of the highest order.
We are also seeing a flood of statistics regarding gun ownership, crime rates, murder rates, etc., in the US versus the rest of the world. These statistics are facts - in and of themselves they don't mean anything until they are interpreted, and interpretations are not facts, so it isn't legitimate to argue whose interpretation is right or wrong, better or worse.
This failure to make the distinction between facts and opinions is (in my opinion) a large part of what has us in the situation we are in now as a nation. Whether it's economic strategy, environmental strategy, education, you name it, we are mired in divisiveness, and divisiveness is never fact-based - it's always about whose opinion, whose interpretation of the facts is "right."
Here's a news flash - no opinion is right, no opinion is wrong. The value of opinion and interpretation is that they create avenues for action - we rarely act based on the facts, we act based on how we interpret those facts. The most useful conversation is not who's right, but which interpretation gives us the most opportunity for effective action.
This tragedy will be politicized - both sides of the gun control issue will argue that it proves their point. It does not. In 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King said "We must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers." If we concern ourselves with that, we will be discussing opinions.
Here's a start - when you speak, notice when you speak your opinion as if it were a fact, and then correct yourself - say clearly that it's your opinion, and open your mind to listen to and learn from other points of view. In that way we can honor the memory of Victoria Soto and all those children who were robbed of their future.

Some Of The Most Popular Website Directories ?
Are you there wondering which is best website directory that you can use to boost your site(s)? If this and many more related questions have been pondering your mind, then worry no more as this article is there to solve your problem once and for all. Website directories are so many that bloggers, website providers, and the general internet users are confused to know the right and the most popular directories to use. As a blogger/website provider, after identifying the best directory, then what is remaining is for you to submit your site(s) to be hosted so that you can start getting traffic (internet users). In this regard, after a careful research and analysis of various directories, some were identified as the most popular as it offers the best services to its clients, and it includes the following:
· Family Friendly Sites Directory
· Kahuki Directory
· Incrawler Directory
· Rakcha Directory
· Greenstalk Directory
· Agent Directory
· Goguldes Directory
· Splash Directory
· Enquira Directory
· Clush Directory
· Al S Links Directory
· Octopedia Directory
· Skaffe Directory
· Info Listings Directory
· Links 2 Go Directory

· Zorg Directory
· World Site Index Directory
· Data spear Directory
· Most Popular Sites Directory
· The Librarians' Internet Index Directory
· All Buziness Directory
· Aviva Directory
· Lobo Links Directory
· Dir Journal Directory
It should be noted that the list above is only for the most popular website directories. Some directories have been left intentionally, implying that they are not as popular as the ones stated above. In addition, some directories have been left because they are either too expensive (like the Yahoo! Directory and BOTW Directory) or your site(s) can take too long before they are approved, yet you want a quick way to boost them (such directories include DMOZ Directory and Illumirate Directory) However, there are no specific details provided for each of the above directories; and therefore, the viewer is supposed to read between the lines so that he/she can extra the key points and look for link building resources to access the directory.
The above lists is not like a stone which is there for the rest of its life, but website directories change quite often. In this regard, some of the website directories not in the list as at now, might improve its services tomorrow, and there is no reason why it not should be included as the one of the popular directories. Nevertheless, at the moment, the above are the most popular and its service provision to clients is beyond reproach. Thanks.

Psychiatrists Pose Five Questions About Antipsychotic Medications
By Bob Carolla, NAMI Communications Director
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has released a list of five uses of antipsychotic medications that are "common, but potentially unnecessary and sometimes harmful," as part of a broader Choosing Wisely campaign by over 30 specialties in the medical profession.
The APA encourages people taking antipsychotic medications or their caregivers to discuss treatment options with their psychiatrists to confirm whether medications being prescribed are really necessary. The APA's list of Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question includes:
NAMI Medical Director, Ken Duckworth, M.D., warns that no one should change, adjust or discontinue a prescribed medication without consulting their doctor. At that same time, he goes further in outlining issues that should be discussed:
The APA recommendations are intended to "start important conversations about treatment options and make informed choices," said Jeffrey Lieberman, M.D. APA President. "This is not to preclude the use of antipsychotic medications for these indications and populations, but to suggest that other treatment options should be considered first and patients should be engaged in discussion of the rationale for use and the potential benefits and risks."
"Antipsychotic medications have tremendous benefits and improve the quality of life for many people with serious mental illness; however, they carry risks including potentially harmful side effects. Unnecessary use or overuse of antipsychotics can contribute to chronic health problems, such as metabolic, neuromuscular, or cardiovascular problems, in people with serious mental illness," said Joel Yager, M.D., Chair of the APA Council on Quality Care.
"Because of these risks, APA has recommended that antipsychotics should not be used routinely, and should never be used without considerable thought, good clinical reasoning, and discussion with patients as to why under particular circumstances such a course would be preferable to alternative options."
The Choosing Wisely campaign is sponsored by the ABIM Foundation and is dedicated to "helping physicians and patients engage in conversations to reduce overuse of tests and procedures and support physician efforts to help patients make smart and effective care choices."

The Libor process is murky, but it is not the charities who are to blame

Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...

Single-mindedness in fundraising is effective, says Reuben Turner, but it can cause small-mindedness which works against our charities and our profession.
If you're reading this, you're probably a fundraiser. If so, give yourself a mental pat on the back. People like you are amazing.
Fundraisers got Nelson Mandela out of prison, and Barack Obama into office. They've made a massive dent in the child mortality figures that shame us all. They cured polio in the developed world and are making headway in wiping out malaria in regions of need. The world would be poorer in every way without fundraisers.
So what does it take to be one? Being a successful fundraiser is a state of mind, and that state of mind is usually single-minded.
The gift is the goal. Every journey begins with the gift in mind. Every argument and proposition is about the gift. Every technique in the rhetorical arsenal is used to make it happen. Don't put it off. Don't think about other ways to change the world. Don't think at all. Just give. Now. It's an approach I've employed hundreds of times over the last decade. And it works.
So, if being a fundraiser is about concentrating on the gift to the exclusion of all else, what's the cost of that? Has that laser-like focus on the gift, to the exclusion of all else narrowed our view too much?
The single-minded fundraiser has morphed, Gollum-like, into the smallminded fundraiser. And that's a shame.
The small-minded fundraiser believes that asking for money is the sole purpose of nonprofit communication. Anything else – awareness, engagement, campaigning is a waste of time and money. The small-minded fundraiser believes that communications teams only obstruct or water down effective fundraising.
The small-minded fundraiser believes that 'brand' is a distraction, 'branding' a waste of money and 'brand awareness' a near-useless metric.
No wonder so few fundraisers ever end up leading the charities they've spent so long raising funds for – which is a real shame for the profession, and indeed, the sector.
The problem with everything I've just said is that single-minded fundraising works. Or rather, like astrology, it 'works'. That is, it works within the rigid set of parameters – response rates, lifetime value, return on investment – that it has set for itself. It raises money and we can't argue with that.
But it also creates fundraising programmes that have little or nothing to do with the story that the rest of the organisation is telling. That are working independently of, or even against, the rest of the charity. Compare the stated aims of many charities as expressed in their strategies or annual reviews against their fundraising appeals, and they often bear no relation at all.
Small-minded fundraising also locks us, as a profession, into self-imposed exile. We're not involved in conversations about organisational strategy, brand, communications. We're not interested, because they don't raise money.
But where does that leave the donor? Usually, locked into a single-minded conversation that only goes where we want it to. At worst, they become a living, breathing cash machine that exists only to fund the organisation. They are locked out of the mission the rest of the charity is involved in – a mission they might very much like to play a bigger part in.
Because after all, fundraising didn't get Obama into office on its own. Brilliant fundraisers worked alongside an incredible political communications team – and, frankly, a man who could live up to the message. (Whether he's lived up to it since is perhaps another matter).
Fundraising alone didn't get Mandela out. Public will did. Driven by campaigning, journalism and the odd Two-tone record.
Save the Children has reported an increase of 33 per cent in fundraising revenue in the last year. Fundraisers like me would like to take all the credit. But we can't. Because it's been driven by a concerted effort to raise profile and build a powerful brand story around child survival and achievable objectives. A team effort. A single-minded one, yes. But not a small-minded one, by any means.
So, fundraisers. I admire your singlemindedness. But not when it becomes small-mindedness. Because then you're focusing on the small target, not the big one.

Spot on, Reuben. And timely too. It's not a new problem, but as the tough conditions drag down net income (and too many trustees and boards have growth ambitions wildly beyond their appetite for risk or change) fundraisers have become even more single/small minded.
But the problems - and the solutions - are to be found in cultural, structural, commercial and management philosophy arenas across the organisation. Johns comments about KPIs is right - but only the tip of the iceberg.
Lets hope CEOs, COOs, FDs and Trustees are reading this and are 'provoked'.

Response to [Tod Norman]
You're absolutely right Tod. One of the big problems with the sector is specialisation – people become highly specialised, too early on in their careers. You still meet fundraising directors who have been programme staff. But not often enough.

Thanks a million for your blog Ruben. I'm the first to celebrate and admire the drive and passion fundraisers need to bring in the money, but your article strikes just the right note - working in a silo and/or independently of their brand communications, their mission/values, and of course with the bigger picture and donor experience in mind is not best practice and can be incredibly detrimental to the charity in the long term. I absolutely agree that integrated working between communications, campaigning and fundraiser is the way forward and a must - and even more so in these competitive and tough economic times.

This is a great article but one of the key obstacles that needs to be overcome in order that fundraisers may flourish is those small-minded & blinkered directors that only set them income KPIs.

Terrific piece Reuben, thank you very much. I have regularly cursed small-minded communications departments for ignoring fundraising's impact on the brand, insisting on messages that have no 'need' which will never raise any money. But it's equally the fault of small-minded fundraisers. Your exemplar, Save the Children, has been magnificent because messages are planned ahead, carefully co-ordinated then consistently applied at every opportunity. I gather that comes from the top but in practical terms it must mean Fundraising and Communications work closely together, which is a MUST.
Well done, interesting view

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
The more time that passes, the more the Fort Lewis College women�s basketball team looks like the one that fans have grown to know and love over the last six years.
More importantly, they look less like the team that started 1-5 this season.
A hot-shooting first half and quality pressure defense helped stake the Skyhawks to a lead as big as 26 points before the Fort Lewis College women picked up a 78-58 victory Friday over New Mexico Highlands at Whalen Gymnasium.
Fort Lewis (6-6, 5-3 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) has found the balance it�s sought offensively over the last two games. The Skyhawks had all five starters score in double figures for the second consecutive game, led by Ashley Kuchar�s 15.
�When we all have balanced scoring, it kind of sets the tone for the rest of the girls coming in,� point guard Alex Easterbrook said. �So when we start out well like that and everyone�s balanced, we know we�re playing and getting shots off assists and not playing selfish.�
Christie Groh and Easterbrook had 14 apiece, while Katerina Garcia and Erika Richards, who had seven rebounds, chipped in 12 each.
Unselfishness had a lot to do with the Skyhawks� offensive successes.
Easterbrook just missed a double-double with nine assists, while Garcia had seven as Fort Lewis totaled 26 for the game on 31 made field goals.
�We still had 26 assists, and that�s a big number, and it�s still six more assists than turnovers. For us to be really good, that�s our team,� Fort Lewis head coach Jason Flores said. �We�ve got to share the ball. We�ve got to score a lot off assists.�
Easterbrook said Fort Lewis made some subtle switches to its press over the holiday break, and it paid off Friday, as the Skyhawks forced 27 turnovers and allowed just 14 assists. Highlands (3-10, 3-6 RMAC) hit only 35 percent from the field in the first half and 40 percent for the game.
�It�s a little more aggressive now. We�re more in to trap, and we�re kind of attacking more, and I think it�s hard to handle as an opposing team,� Easterbrook said.
The Skyhawks, meanwhile, made 58 percent of their shots in the first half before a little lull early in the second half let Highlands crawl back within 16 points.
A 13-2 run late in the frame helped push Fort Lewis to a 52-26 halftime advantage.
The key was dribble penetration. For most of the game, the Skyhawks were able to find room either along the baseline or in the paint for layups or drive-and-kick opportunities, and when they were aggressive, the Cowgirls didn�t seem to have an answer.
�Coming in, we thought we could get some good looks in our transition game. ... There were times, you�re right, that we did that, and I think we kind of took the lead because of that,� Flores said.
�I think it was good because it makes us a diverse team and makes us really hard to guard,� Easterbrook said. �So we had a lot of shooters, but when they come out and they guard the shot, and we drive past them, it opens up so much more.�
Kate Cryderman led Highlands with 16 points, while the Cowgirls� leading scorer, Alyssa Lopez, took just eight shots and scored 12.
The only real disappointing number for Fort Lewis was its 20 turnovers, something the Skyhawks will look to correct beginning at 5:30 p.m. today, when Western New Mexico visits Whalen Gymnasium.
Western New Mexico�s women won their first RMAC game of the year Friday night 63-50 over Adams State.
