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

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: half-empty vs cup half-full
By all counts AMD is getting their clock cleaned.
Data from mid august can't actually come from Sept can it?...LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist. You're make this too easy.
Assuming I get your point and take it...Got any data to show AMD is winning the war? The 157mil loss for AMD? Is that good? The 203mil profit for NV? Is that bad? 64% chance by financial models say AMD will be out of business by in the next 2years. NV's chances = 1%. Which would you bet on?
Mobile grudge match, shows NV wins 13 games, and AMD wins 3 (and 2 of those 3 suck in the ratings, hence NV ignored optimizing for them). NV 116% faster in Diablo3. Yeah that's bad news. But only for AMD.
Dec 2012. 4x more apps optimized for it. Bad for AMD.
Project Denver/Boulder moving into AMD/Intel's space finally. Umm, bad for AMD cpu's. Many others also moving here. Bad for both Intel & AMD all around.
NVDA kicked AMD's A$$. Oct 15th too old for you too? Relevant data correct?
65% share of the market in gpu cards for NV. Last time I checked that means anyone else is sucking. I don't care who's side you "LIKE", if I'm buying a stock and have half a brain in my head I run FROM AMD and run TO NVDA.
The only really relevant data I need is roadmaps and balance sheets. CEO statements in the financial call's say a lot too. AMD's sucked. NV was cheering. I love AMD but wouldn't touch their stock with YOUR 10' pole, let alone my own :)
Please, by all means. If you have something in DATA that says otherwise point to it, because I can't see it anywhere I look. All I see is absolute and unequivocal failure for AMD. 30% layoffs in ~2yrs also.
2 more execs jumped ship:
The list of people who've left of been laid off is IMMENSE. It took ages for them to find anyone who'd take the ceo job. Rory Read isn't a top choice. One wonders what they had to offer to get him even...They should have picked another Dirk Meyer, or Jerry Sanders. Those two created great chip tech and some actual profits. They need an engineer running things. A guy from IS should be UNDER the Engineer running the company.
Andy grove, Craig Barret, Dirk Meyer, Jerry Sanders, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore! All Chemistry, Engineer, Science, Physics. These people create products. Others just sell them. You can't win without the former. The latter don't create squat. Laying off tons of engineers doesn't help the cause either. Rory should have let go of management, and kept engineers at all costs. Good luck hiring new engineers when most feel you're on your way to bankruptcy. That's not really called a stable job in a scary economy. With obama and co driving us into the ground faster each year, you need to take a job at a company that has a GREAT FREAKING balance sheet or worry about your job getting cut every week.

My husband and I love classic meatball subs, but I wanted to create a version that's fast to fix after a long day. This recipe comes together in a snap, and the meatballs are freezer-friendly as well.
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

- Dash salt
- 1-1/4 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 2 cups garden-style pasta sauce
- 4 hoagie buns, split
- 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
- In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 40 meatballs. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, brown meatballs in batches; drain.
- Place meatballs in a large saucepan. Add pasta sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Spoon meatballs and sauce onto bun halves; sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Celgene and MorphoSys have agreed to jointly develop MOR202, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting CD38 for the treatment of multiple myeloma and certain leukemias, in a deal worth up to $818 million, the firms said.
Under the terms of the agreement, Celgene has secured worldwide rights to MOR202, a MorphoSys-developed drug currently being evaluated in a Phase I/IIa trial involving patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma. The firms said they will be collaborating on the development of MOR202 in multiple myeloma and other indications, sharing costs on a one-third to two-thirds basis.
More specifically, Celgene—which initiated a $3 billion share buyback program June 12—will pay MorphoSys $92 million as an upfront license fee, and invest $60 million toward new shares of MorphoSys, which will be issued at a yet-to-be-determined price, pending clearance by US antitrust authorities. That price, the firms noted, is slated to include at least a premium of 15% of the closing price of the MorphoSys share prior to agreement signing.
Further, MorphoSys may be entitled to receive additional development, regulatory, and sales milestones, plus tiered double-digit royalties on net sales outside the co-promotion territory. Per the agreement, MorphoSys will retain a 50:50 profit sharing within the co-promotion territory.
"Targeting CD38 has matured to be a highly innovative and very promising approach in multiple myeloma and we are committed to retain a larger share of the potential upside," MorphoSys CEO Simon Moroney, Ph.D., said in a statement. "Celgene, one of the leading innovators in multiple myeloma, is the ideal partner to develop the compound efficiently and deliver to patients with multiple myeloma worldwide."
Added Cellgene's Mark Alles, evp and global head, hematology and oncology: "This collaboration with MorphoSys enables us to rapidly advance a promising therapeutic antibody in a disease where significant progress is being made, but where patients continue to need new treatment options."
The MOR202 deal is the latest in a string of recent Cellgene collaborations. In May, the company entered a $300 million-plus collaboration with Concert Pharmaceuticals in an effort to develop new deuterium-modified small molecule compounds targeting cancer and inflammation. And in December, Cellgene tapped Sutro Biopharma expertise as part of an up-to-$500 million initiative aimed at developing antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies for undisclosed targets.
MorphoSys, too, has been on a deal-making roll. Earlier this month, the firm entered an up-to-$548 million deal with GlaxoSmithKline to develop and commercialize its MOR103, a HuCAL-derived antibody against GM-CSF, which has concluded Phase I/II development for mild to moderate rheumatoid arthritis.
And the German company stands much to gain from this most recent agreement with Celgene. During a conference call today, Dr. Moroney said that in addition to a financial boost, this deal also paves the way for MorphoSys' transition from a technology service provider to a commercial-stage biopharma.
"Over the last 12 months we have received strong inbound interest in MOR202," Dr. Moroney elaborated. He said that, considering speed to market and opportunities to move into other indications, the firm ultimately chose to partner with Celgene, "convinced that this alliance gives us the best possible chance of maximizing the value of the MOR202 program."
"This deal brings to the program disease and development expertise that is second to none," he added.
Further, Dr. Mornoey said the agreement "marks an inflection point in MorphoSys' development as a biopharmaceutical company … to a developer of therapeutics."
He added that, subject to antitrust clearance, the deal is expected to close within the next two months.

The Usuba is a traditional Japanese knife used to cut or make thin sheets of vegetables. Originated in Kanto (Tokyo) region of Japan.
The Deba is often used in the Japanese fish markets and restaurants that work with whole fish, because it is designed to behead and fillet fish without damaging the fish. Although many use the deba on other meats, the deba is not intended for chopping of large diameter bones nor should it be used by slamming down the knife like a cleaver. For the best results, please put pressure on the spine of the knife to put clean and precise cuts. Originated in Kansai (Osaka) region of Japan.
CAUTION: Moisture Causes Rusting and Discoloration

CHARLES TOWN - Every year the Old Opera House hosts a call to playwrights looking for four fresh, never-before-produced plays to be performed on its stage.
Out of the 85 plays submitted for this year's festival, "Polterguest" written by Chuck Smith of Woodbridge, Va.; "Reports of a Home Invasion" written by Andrew Ade of New Wilmington, Pa.; "The Understudy" written by J. C. Svec of Clark, N.J.; and "Follow the Mondy: A Modern Day Fairy Tale" written by Dwayne Yancey of Fincastle, Va., were all selected to be produced.
All plays submitted for consideration are reviewed by a panel of judges, then discussed in length.

"Follow the Money: A Modern Day Fairy Tale" by Dwayne Yancey, Fincastle, Va., directed by Beth Brackett features Karen Paone, left, as the Tooth Fairy and Amy Hebb as the Fairy Godmother.
Cari Hupke, left, as Zandra and James Wright as Doug in "Polterguest."
Michael Stiles, left, as Del; Sandra DeRocha as Bobbie; Jeanne Moore as Kenny and David Zucker in "Reports of a Home Invasion."
Christine Brewer, left, as Miss Lemon and Steven Brewer as Mr. Evans in "The Understudy."
Looking for a balance between different genres of plays, the panel of judges takes into consideration what the over-all theatrical experience will be for its patrons, said Steven Brewer, manager/artistic director for the Old Opera House.
"All of these plays elicited a different response from different judges," Brewer said. "These were all plays that bubbled up to the top and all the judges agreed on collectively. We look at the entire scope of things and a mix that will make for an evening's worth of good theater."
First is "Polterguest," a romantic comedy directed by Shannon Potter. Polterguest is about a man (James Wright) who seeks the aide of a psychic (Cari Hupke) to help him get through the grieving process of his girlfriend's (Heather Mae Wilson) passing.

"There are some warm, fuzzy moments where Doug (Wright) and Zandra (Hupke) are able to build a relationship," Potter said. "There are some sad moments with some warm moments tucked in."
Second is "Reports of a Home Invasion," a nail-biting thriller directed by Meaghan Barry, that will will leave the audience both wanting more and afraid of what will happen next.
Set in a rural farmhouse, the first scene opens to a man (Michael Stiles) and his wife (Sandra DeRocha) giving a report to the local police (Jeanne Moore and David Tobias) about an intruder that broke in to their house that evening. There's only one problem: the husband and wife both have completely different accounts of what actually happened.
"This is a snapshot moment in these people's lives," Barry said. "Just as the audience thinks they have it all figured out, it will change, and they'll realize it wasn't what they thought was going on."
There's his side, there's her side - and then, there's the truth.
"This play really stays with you, and I guarantee the audience is going to say, 'I didn't see that coming,'" Barry said.
Third is another romantic comedy, "The Understudy," directed by Ed Conn. But it's not quite the romance you think of when you hear the term, "romantic comedy."
"The Understudy" is a small, two-person play about a man (Brewer) who made a promise to his daughter that if she ever got sick, he would go to school for her and be her proxy so she wouldn't fall behind in her studies. Unfortunately, his daughter does get very ill, so as any good dad would, he keeps his promise and goes to school for her- toting lunch bag and all. The teacher (Christine Brewer) thinks the entire idea is odd, but because she's a kind and understanding soul, she allows him to fulfill his promise and stay in her class.
"It's a very heartwarming story," Conn said. "She (the teacher) is trying to be understanding and you can tell she has a lot of love in her heart, but she thinks the whole thing is a little strange. Eventually she warms up to him and even though its a short play, there's so much dynamic happening."
The fourth and final play is a comedy, "Follow the Money: A Modern Day Fairy Tale," directed by Beth Brackett.
Have you ever wondered how the Tooth Fairy enters a house to retrieve lost teeth or what she does with them after she's plucked them out from under the pillow? In this story, a little boy (Tyler Panzarella) is curious about these sort of things and hatches a plan to find out the answers.
First, he tricks the Sandman (Will Heyser) into not making him fall asleep, then when the Fairy Godmother (Amy Hebb) enters to search for the abducted Sandman and Tooth Fairy with her two mobster-like henchmen (John-Michael Rolnick and Craig Sours), all heck breaks loose.
"They are the best and funniest cast ever. I have enjoyed with them all and can't wait for the audience to see it," Brackett said. "The Fairy Godmother has plans for the kid."
Most of these one-act plays average a run time of approximately 15 to 20 minutes with the longest being about 30 minutes.
For more information about the plays or to purchase tickets, visit www.oldoperahouse.org or call the box office at 304-725-4420.

Jorts are a short word for Jean Shorts
Dude, why are you wearing jorts? You look like a douche.
Quincy Morrisによって 2008年03月14日(金)
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
Top Definition
Jean shorts. Worn mostly by children and douchebags. Jorts are perhaps the easiest way to recognize people you will not like. If you wear jorts, you probably don't talk to girls. The term "jorts" does not apply to jean shorts worn by black people, as those are entirely acceptable.
The kid next to me was definitely a total dick; he was wearing jorts.
theSuperJesusによって 2005年08月31日(水)
a combination of the words "jean" and "shorts" used to describe the hideous attire, usually sported by NASCAR afficianados and men over 40. Sometimes Jorts are accessorized with a lovely cellphone belt clip and a braided leather belt, but not always. Sometimes the Jorts wearer lets the Jorts speak for themselves.
While at a baseball game, I noticed a plethora of adult males with no shirts on, drinking copious amounts of beer while proudly wearing Jorts.

A Duncansville man tried to reach beneath a bathroom stall to touch a woman, Allegheny Township police allege.
Tavonte T. Tate, 20, a Philadelphia native who listed his address as Adelphoi Village on Municipal Drive in Duncansville, remains in Blair County Prison after his arrest Friday at Target, 153 Sierra Drive.
A woman at the store said she was using the toilet in the women's restroom at about 4:45 p.m. Friday when she looked to her left and saw a man's face looking under the divider separating her stall from the adjacent stall, police said.
The man's shoulder and arm were also visible as the man reached to touch her bottom, the woman told police.
Police said the woman yelled, "Hey," then walked out of the stall and began washing her hands.
She told officers as she washed her hands, the man, later identified as Tate, walked out of the stall and exited the restroom.
After police arrived, Tate, who was being tracked in the store by employees, was taken into custody, records show.
Tate initially told police he used the women's bathroom because the men's room was full, and he had fallen off the toilet.
After Tate was taken to the Allegheny Township police station, he told officers he intentionally entered the women's bathroom, looked under the stall and tried to touch the woman, police said. Tate said he has a problem and wants to seek help, police added.
Officers charged Tate with felony attempted indecent assault because Tate has two prior charges for the crime, although details of those incidents were not given. Tate is also charged with harassment and disorderly conduct.

When I said elite I meant more than just the 5 or 6 absolute best players in hockey. And I doubt Howard will be exposed. Lidstrom was great but he was one side of the ice for only half the game. We will have the rest of our team here and everything will be decided by effort level. It seems like we're judging Howard off of everything but actually looking at how he plays. He doesn't let in stupid whiffers, he can make great saves, and he wasn't the reason whatsoever we lost in the playoffs. Any goalie short of maybe Hasek wouldn't have done anything with how lazy we got the last two years.

Life After Newtown Shooting: Families Share Their Stories
They still reach for little hands that are no longer there. They dream of their warm hugs, hoping not to wake up.
For parents of the 20 first-graders from Sandy Hook Elementary School whose lives were cruelly cut short on Dec. 14 their grief knows no bounds.
"We've been given an impossible life to live," says Jessica Rekos's mother Krista. "I don't know how to live my life without my little girl."
At home, many of their siblings keep their memories alive. Daniel Barden's sister, Natalie, is keeping a journal of stories for her brother. Josephine Gay's two older sisters look through old videos to listen to her laugh.
And when Noah Pozner's sister, Sophia, recently put together a Lego spaceship, she announced: "Noah helped me put it together."
"Maybe the barrier adults see is more fluid for children," says her mother Veronique Pozner. "I hope that lasts."
While their grief is unending, the families seen here on exclusive PEOPLE videos try to focus on positive change and share their hope that, as Brian Engel, father of Olivia Engel, says, "Something good can come from this tragedy."
Says Catherine Hubbard's mother, Jenny, "We've received this outpouring of love and compassion. We can't forget that humanity is good."
To that end, many have now starting charities in their children's name. "We have to make her dream come true," says Hubbard, who is building an animal sanctuary for their daughter, "because she can't do it herself."
They have a profound lesson to share. "I have seen the worst the world has to offer and I've also seen the best," says Dylan Hockley's mother Nicole. "And from what I've seen, the good outweighs the bad."

by Frankie Valli, Jerry Butler (The Iceman) and Lloyd Price, the
program also boasts a surprise appearance by Little Richard, who
burns up the stage with an exhilarating performance of "Keep-A-Knockin'."
Multimedia and Rhino Entertainment, the world's leading
pop culture label, team up to present a musical event that is as
to time-travel
as television allows! Rock,
Rhythm and Doo Wop taped in May 2001
here in Pittsburgh -- the Oldies Capital of the World -- reuniting
original legends of Rock & Roll for a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
about the performers or click on a photo below to enlarge.
BUTLER: One of the most distinguished voices in the music industry,
Jerry Butler's career spans four impressive decades, claiming over
fifty albums!
first big hit, "For Your Precious Love," came in 1958,
when he performed with the Impressions. Butler had written the lyrics
for the song when he was only 16.
left the Impressions later that year to embark on his solo career,
and shortly after that his single "He Will Break Your Heart"
rocketed to the top of the charts and stayed there for seven consecutive
weeks. Subsequent hits included "Hey, Western Union Man,"
"Only the Strong Survive," "Never Give You Up,"
and "Are You Happy?"
the early 1970s, he teamed with singer Brenda Lee Eager for the
soul-ballad duet "Ain't Understanding Mellow" (which made
it to number 3 on the Billboard R&B chart), a cover of The Carpenters'
"They Long to be Close to You," and a remake of The O'Jays'
"One Night Affair." The latter marked his last song to
crack the Top Ten.
he has continued to croon over the decades, Butler has also made
the interesting move to local and regional politics, campaigning
on behalf of Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington, and
later taking positions as the Cook County (Ill.) Commissioner and
as a Chicago City Alderman. In addition to singing "He Don't
Love You Like I Love You" for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop,
Butler -- with his trademark "Iceman" style -- serves
as one of the program's hosts.
Lou Christie (a.k.a. Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco) is a Pittsburgh
boy, known throughout the 1960s for his bubblegum pop style of music.
his distinctive falsetto voice, Christie also made his mark as one
of the first performers of the rock era to compose his own songs.
in the '60's, while playing with various local bands, he changed
his name to Lou Christie, and eventually teamed with a classically
trained musician named Twila Herbert. The two co-wrote "The
Gypsy Cried," which Christie recorded in his garage. The song
was licensed and released nationally by the Roulette label, making
it to number 24 on the pop charts by 1963.
follow-up, "Two Faces Have I," made it into the Top Ten,
but shortly after, Christie's career was interrupted by a stint
in the Army.
1966, he made his move back to music with the smash "Lightnin'
Strikes" (which he sings for Rock, Rhythm, and Doo Wop),
and then "Rhapsody in the Rain."
scoring one last Top Ten hit in 1969 ("I'm Gonna Make You Mine")
left music until the late 1980s, when he began making occasional
appearances on oldies package tours.
REFLECTIONS: This five-man doo wop group formed in 1962 in the
Detroit area. Although their first recording was a remake of The
Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night," their first
hit came two years later when they recorded "Romeo and Juliet"
for Ed Wingate's Golden World label.
they recorded seven more tunes for Golden World (including "Like
Columbus Did," "Talking About My Girl" and "Poor
Man's Son") none of them performed as well as their first hit.
later switched labels and even their name (to High and the Mighty),
but none of their new recordings achieved the success of their earliest
work, "Romeo and Juliet" --which is what the group performs
for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop.
ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS: Formed in 1958 in Brooklyn, N.Y., Little
Anthony & The Imperials began their career as The Chesters, but
changed their name to The Imperials at the suggestion of disc jockey
Alan Freed.
enjoyed a much longer chart run than many of the doo wop groups
of the same era. Between 1958 and 1974, they saw ten of their songs
hit the Hot 100, including "Tears on My Pillow," "Shimmy
Shimmy Ko Ko Bop," "Going Out of My Head," and "Hurt
So Bad."
group revamped in 1964, whittling down to four members and changing
their sounds from classic doo wop to a harder-edged R&B. Little
Anthony continued to work as a solo artist after 1975, but the group
s reunited once more to sing "Tears on My Pillow" at the
Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop concert.
PRICE: When a teenaged Lloyd Price and his brother Leo put together
a small local band in 1952, Specialty Records exec Art Rupe caught
the act and released Price's classic "Lawdy Miss Clawdy"
to rave reviews. The song topped the R&B charts and paved the way
for more hits on the Specialty Label, including "Ain't It a
Shame" and "Tell Me Pretty Baby".
after, Price was drafted, but after serving in Korea, he left the
military to start his own label, KRC Records, with partners Harold
Logan and Bill Boskent. In 1958, Price's adaptation of Stagger Lee
topped both the R&B and pop charts. A string of hits followed in
the late 1950s and throughout the '60s, including "Where Were
You On Our Wedding Day," "Personality" and "Come
Into My Heart," but Price left the music business when his
partner Logan was murdered in 1969.
more than a decade abroad, Price returned to the US. It wasn't until
the early 1990s, though, that he returned to music to take part
in an oldies revival. Yet another era of his career blossomed and
he's performed regularly ever since. For the Rock, Rhythm and
Doo Wop concert, Price performs his early hit "Stagger
PARRIS & THE FIVE SATINS: Fred Parris started the doo wop group
The Scarlets back in 1953, while he was still in high school in
New Haven, Conn. The following year, Parris re-organized the group
as The Five Satins, and shortly after that, they recorded one of
Parris's compositions in the basement of a local church.
song was "In the Still of the Night." It was released
as a single on Standard Records in the spring of 1956 before being
leased to the Ember label, when it shot up the charts. While "In
the Still of the Night" made its mark on the charts, Parris
was drafted; with him stationed in Japan, the group recorded its
follow-up single "To the Aisle" with Bill Baker handling
lead vocals.
Parris returned from the military in 1958, he reorganized the group
yet again, seeing minor hits before "In the Still of the Night"
re-entered the pop charts, thanks to exposure on an Oldies but Goodies
compilation album.
the '60's and early 70's, Parris led versions of The Satins in oldies
concerts around the US and in Europe, until the group saw its last
doo wop hit in the Top 100 in 1982, a medley titled "Memories
of Days Gone By." Parris left music entirely in the mid-1990's
after the tragic death of his wife.
much urging, Fred Parris came out of retirement to once again join
The Five Satins for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop, where the group
performs, of course, "In the Still of the Night."
CONTOURS: Formed in 1958 in Detroit, Mi., The Contours have
the distinction of being one of Berry Gordy's earliest discoveries
for Motown Records.
quintet scored an R&B chart-topper in 1962 with the hard-rocking
hit "Do You Love Me," which was repopularized by the "Dirty
Dancing" soundtrack. Later hits include the soul classics "Just
a Little Misunderstanding" and "First I Look at the Purse."
You Love Me" sees yet another reincarnation and a chance to
capture a new audience as The Contours perform it during Rock,
Rhythm and Doo Wop.
RICHARD: Born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon, Georgia, Little
Richard merged gospel with New Orleans R&B to create a fiery sound
that earned him status as one of the true rock-and-roll greats.
by Specialty Records in 1955, Little Richard turned a provocative
ditty into his first smash hit, "Tutti Frutti." For Rock,
Rhythm and Doo Wop, Little Richard treats fans to a sizzling
rendition of "Good Golly Miss Molly."
CHANCE & THE EARLS: One of the more revered of the white
doo wop groups, The Earls began their career as The High Hatters
in 1957 at the Tecumseh Social Club in the Bronx.
vocalist Larry Figueiredo changed his name to Larry Chance
(after the record label) and he and his partners started recording
in Rome in 1961. That year, they recorded their first New
York hit, a version of the Harp-Tones' "Life Is But a
Rhythm and Doo Wop marks Larry's laudable return to music
after a battle with throat cancer late last year.
LIMELITES: After singing with several other groups in
the late 1950s, James Sheppard connected with old friends
Clarence Bassett and Charles Baskerville (formerly of The
Videos) to form Shep & The Limelites.
a lackluster start on the APR Records label, they were signed
by Hull Records and released "Daddy's Home," a sentimental
ballad about returning from war. The single shot to number
2 on the pop chart in 1961.
During the next four years, Hull released 12 more of the group's
singles; "Our Anniversary," which reached number
7 on the R&B charts, was their only other chart success.
disbanded in 1966, and then reunited in 1970 for the oldies
revue circuit. Shortly after, James Sheppard died in an accident.
But The Limelites regroup for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop
to perform "Daddy's Home."
COCCO & THE CHIMES: This quintet formed in Brooklyn in
the mid-1950s, and scored an immediate hit with a remake of
Tommy Dorsey's "Once in a While," which reached
number 11 on the charts. Their follow-up success was a remake
of the 1930s classic "I'm in the Mood for Love."
in the 1970s to play oldies revival shows, the group has been
at it ever since. For Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop, Lenny
& The Chimes perform their first hit, "Once in a While."
HUGHES & THE CASINOS: Although this Cincinnati-based band
formed in 1958, they didn't reach the top of the charts until
1967, with their ballad "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye."
They were a throwback to the earlier days of doo wop, with
smooth harmonies and a neat, conservative appearance.
the Casinos recorded a number of other singles for the Fraternity
label throughout the 1960s, none of their songs ever matched
the success of "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye." It's
the song the group performs for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop.
BLACK & THE AMERICANS: Formed in New York City in 1961,
The Americans' original "Jay" was Jay Traynor, lead
singer when the band had their first hit, "She Cried."
By the time the band scored another chart hit in 1963 ("Only
in America"), the new lead singer was Jay Black -- who
was actually named David, but changed his name to "Jay"
to fit the band's name!
big hits included "Let's Lock the Door" and "Cara
Mia" (which they perform at Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop).
After their mid-1960s success, Jay & The Americans fell out
of the limelight until a brief reappearance in 1969 and 1970
with updated covers of The Drifters' "This Magic Moment"
and the Ronette's "Walkin' in the Rain." Shortly
after, they joined the oldies revue circuit.
TOWNSEND: Although Ed Townsend had his own R&B hit in
1958, "For Your Love," this venerable singer/songwriter
is just as famous (if not more so) for the hits he wrote that
were recorded by such renowned artists as Nat "King"
Cole and Etta James. (In the mid-1970s, Townsend co-wrote
the classic "Let's Get it On" with Marvin Gaye.)
Townsend recorded other Capitol singles, including "Be
My Love" and "Hold On," "For Your Love"
remains his most popular tune. He performs it at Rock,
Rhythm and Doo Wop.
DUPREES: Formed in 1962 in Jersey City, N.J., The Duprees'
hallmark was to treat pop-rock standards to classy, big band
treatment. They achieved great success in 1962-63 when "You
Belong to Me" made the Top Ten; three other hits, "My
Own True Love," "Have You Heard" and "Why
Don't You Believe Me" also scored as Top 40 hits. For
the Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop reunion, The Duprees perform
their classic "You Belong to Me."
LEWIS: Although Lewis worked for years as a recording
artist, he is somewhat unfairly dubbed a "one-hit wonder"
because none of his other tunes achieved the monster success
of the 1961 smash "Tossin' and Turnin'."
single sold over three million copies on the Beltone label,
which issued an accompanying album by Lewis thanks to the
single's success. Of course, for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop,
Lewis performs "Tossin' and Turnin'."
YOUNG with THE INNOCENTS: Formed in Sun Valley, Ca., in
1958, this group performed songs by Al Candelaria, Darron
Stankey, Jeanne Vikki and James West, and counted "Gee
Whiz," "Honest I Do" and "A Thousand Stars"
among their hits before disbanding in 1964. Together again
for the Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop reunion, Kathy Young
joins The Innocents to perform "A Thousand Stars."
FLEETWOODS: The smooth sound of The Fleetwoods allowed
them to enjoy success with both doo wop and R&B. Singers Gretchen
Christopher and Barbara Ellis initially invited Gary Troxell
to accompany them as a trumpet player, but not long after
The Fleetwoods formed, Troxell abandoned the trumpet and joined
the crooning.
1959 debut was "Come Softly to Me," and their third
single, "Mr. Blue," made it to the number 1 spot
on the pop charts and into the Top Five R&B.
the next three years, they continued to score with a number
of popular songs hits, most of them ballads, before disbanding
in 1963.
Fleetwoods have reunited occasionally in the past for oldies
revues, and even recorded an album in 1973. For Rock, Rhythm
and Doo Wop, the trio performs "Mr. Blue."
WELCH: Lenny Welch worked doggedly throughout the 1960s
to sign and sing for various record labels. Often compared
to the velvet-voiced Johnny Mathis, Welch seemed destined
for huge things. But bad luck and bad business conspired against
first release, "You Don't Know Me," was marginally
popular, but it was his second single on the Cadence label,
"Since I Fell For You," that made its mark on the
charts. It hit number 5, paving the way for a follow-up success
with "Ebb Tide." When Cadence unexpectedly folded
in 1964, Welch continued to record for other labels, and even
performed gigs on weekends while serving in the military.
recorded some popular songs, including "Darling Take
Me Back," "Please Help Me I'm Falling" and
"The Right to Cry," but a voluntary leave-of-absence
from the music world cooled his career and an attempted comeback
in the 1970s never offered the same spark. Nonetheless, he's
back and in great form for Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop,
performing "Since I Fell for You."
MILLER & THE RAYS: The Rays, formed in New York City and
popular during the 1950s, performed songs by Bob Crewe and
Frank Slay, among others.
music appears on various compilation albums, including Alan
Freed's "Memory Lane," "Oldies but Goodies,
Vol. 4," and in 1976, "Fonzie Favorites" (in
reference to the popular TV series "Happy Days").
Miller --who has also worked with a number of other artists
throughout his career including Carlos Santana and Mary K.
Miller -- reunites with The Rays at Rock, Rhythm and Doo
Wop to perform "Silhouettes."

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State coach Coquese Washington called it beginning-of-the-season rust.
Lady Lions guard Alex Bentley blamed it on a lapse of focus and discipline.
Either way, it added up to an unexpectedly shaky start to the new women's basketball season.
No. 8 Penn State trailed Howard of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference by six points late in the first half before a 14-0 run jump-started the Lady Lions and sent them to a 72-61 victory on Sunday at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Penn State (1-0), which fell behind 7-1 three minutes in, was down 31-25 with 4:42 left in the first half when it was bailed out by the combination of Maggie Lucas and Bentley. Lucas scored nine points and combined with Bentley for six steals during the decisive run that turned the six-point deficit into a 39-31 halftime advantage.
The Lady Lions led the rest of the way.
"They wanted to play better," Washington said. "They wanted to have a better performance. But it is what it is. It's November. It's our first game. We didn't play as well as maybe we wanted to play. It just gives us information, feedback, things we know we need to work on."
Lucas scored 25 points to lead Penn State, which won its seventh consecutive home opener, including all six under Washington. Mia Nickson had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Bentley added 14 points.
Saadia Doyle scored 36 points, including 17-of-23 from the free-throw line, to lead Howard (0-2).
"We're happy to get the win," Lucas said. "But we need to play a lot more disciplined and finish plays defensively. We sent them to the free-throw line too much. That's not what we do."
Before the start of Sunday's game, Penn State celebrated its 2012 Big Ten regular-season title with the unveiling of a banner. The Lady Lions posed with the banner and the conference championship trophy before the banner was raised to the rafters.
"I don't think that effected our focus," Lucas said. "We're proud of that, but it's this year now."
After trailing by six points at the start, the Lady Lions rebounded quickly. A 3-pointer from Lucas tied the game at 8-8. Another basket from Lucas followed by a put back from Nickson gave Penn State a five-point lead with 14 minutes left.
But Penn State managed just three baskets during a six-minute stretch and Howard rallied. A layup from Cheyenne Curly-Payne and a jumper from Doyle tied the game at 21-21. Consecutive 3-pointers from Cabria Johnson put the Bison ahead by four points and a layup from Doyle gave Howard a 31-25 lead.
Washington then called a 30-second timeout.
"We talked about defense [in the timeout]," she said. "We wanted to get up and pressure and create turnovers and get easy baskets in transition. That gave us a spark going into the half."
Doyle's basket was Howard's last of the half, as Penn State's defense clamped down. The Bison had more turnovers (nine) then shots (four) over the final 4:42.
"We want to provide that spark throughout the entire game," Bentley said. "That's something to work on. The defense you saw at the end of the first half is our defense. We have to stay tuned in and focus on playing that defense for 40 minutes."
In the meantime, Penn State cut into its deficit behind Lucas. Her 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the half made it a one-point game and she gave the Lady Lions the lead 32 seconds later with a pair of free throws. After a basket from Bentley, Lucas' jumper gave Penn State a 36-31 advantage.
Lucas capped off the half with a running jumper that put the Lady Lions up 39-31.
"Those last couple of minutes hurt us," Howard coach Niki Reid Geckeler said. "It gave them the momentum. Up until that point, we had played with poise."
Penn State increased it lead to as many as 19 points in the second half.
HOWARD (0-2): Curly-Payne 2-8 0-2 4, Gorham 2-10 1-2 5, Doyle 9-21 17-23 36, N. Deterville 1-2 1-2 3, Smith 3-6 0-0 7, Johnson 2-3 0-0 6, Bailey 0-2 0-0 0, P. Deterville 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 19-52 19-29 61.

I was initially intrigued by the historical significance of John Thomson's photographic and literary chronicle of pre-republic China during the waning years of dynasty rule. After viewing and reading The Inmost Shrine I have taken away so much more from this extraordinary work. First, the images are stunning and capture a time and culture that is beyond imagination. I am so impressed with the consideration and ability of Levenger Press to incorporate new scanning technology to create such high quality digital reproductions of Thomson's original images. In many instances pictures that originally were four on a page have been enlarged to occupy their own page. This allows one to study Thomson's work in greater detail. They also leave the back of each photograph page blank I believe to eliminate any ill-effects from ink or type that could alter an image. I would often read Thomson's narrative, flip to the photograph, then return to again read his description of the subject or scene. The presentation of this book, like so many of Levenger Press's offerings, is so well conceived and executed that I find myself delicately handling every page. Levenger Press demonstrates great respect for the importance of Thomson's work.I then found myself in admiration of the author. For a person to travel to such a far place, that was so culturally different, carrying such burdensome and dangerous equipment is itself a remarkable tale. Facing cultural and language barriers combined with fear and hatred of Westerners by many Chinese had to be extremely challenging in the best circumstances. Thomson then used his camera, a large and menacing looking device back then, that many had never seen and often mistook as a form of dark magic. I suspect this explains the facial expressions on some of his subjects. I was curious about what John Thomson looked like and externally found a self-portrait of him while in China. His build and look truly set him apart from the Chinese.I enjoyed this wonderful book for its amazing content and presentation. Though the original is a rare and archived work, you will find yourself delicately handling this quality piece as if it was from an archive. Bravo Levenger Press for bringing another great work back from obscurity for us to enjoy.

John Thomson self portrait while in China
Quite a find
By statistician by day, historian by night

There have been other editions of Thomson's groundbreaking work in China, but none (so far as I know) in the last several decades. This one is remarkable, especially if kept close alongside other voulmes chronicling the extraordinary changes in China since 1910 and especially since WWII.I think it's remarkable that Levenger chose to issue this volume. Congratulations to them. It's a bit of a departure--well, maybe a major diversion--from their central marketing line, but this edition (wish it were more widely marketed) is *invaluable* for those starting out in Asian or Chinese studies, or curious about a remarkable popular culture that's rapidly disappearing from the PRC's major cities. Great, great contribution. (I hope that you are marketing this to libraries, at least to University libraries.)BTW, please note how central the Eastman family was in this initiative. Kodak is nothing like it was in the good ol' days of film, but if not for people like George Eastman, we would have lost forever some irreplaceable gems. People think Matthew Brady was the ultimate photojournalist: Thomson, his contemporary, was awfully close.(Note: I am not am employee of Levenger, of Kodak, or any publisher, nor of any Chinese organization. I'm just an active avocationalist on pre-Republican China and its remarkable developments.)
Edinburgh Snapper Comes Good
By GoodBookGuy
from London
What a delightful discovery: a brilliant combination of informative text, wonderful photos and production values. There's nothing quite like the 'feel' of an original volume but this is something else. High quality photography, printing, prose and portraits galore. John Thomson is a genuine discovery, a name hardly known in the photographic world let alone the world of photojournalism and its origins. People like Matthew Brady (American Civil War), Frank Sutcliffe (Yorkshire rural life) and Roger Fenton (Crimea war) are well-known pioneers of reportage. Please now add John Thomson (and thank Levenger Press via George Eastman) for showing what he did.I was intrigued by the acute observations that Thomson made about China, his keen eye for everyday detail and his portraits of everyday people. Thomson writes with that directness and clarity that characterize Victorian writing about social events – and indeed natural history, in my experience. It's a salutory lesson for today, where over-elaboration and poor expression masks meaning. Thomson would be thrilled to see his small photos blown-up to full page.The simple backdrops used for the people photographs remind me of Avedon portraits - elegant, stark and revealing. Or maybe Avedon reminds us of Thomson? We should not under-estimate what Thomson has done in this book: shown how people lived, their dress and demeanour, where they lived and breathed and relaxed. Who else thought to photograph opium users and to reflect carefully on why they did this? There's a careful artistry in the posing of people in natural settings and a wonderful humour in the way groups are organised. This was a man who thought carefully about taking photographs and honestly statest that he paid people to take part, as well as enduring physical and verbal attacks for 'being British'.I craved more information about the photographic techniques used by Thomson and more about the man himself. Please publish more volumes of Thomson's work and make sure that the wider world knows about this artist and chronicler ot times past.Makes me proud(er) to have been born in the same town as John Thomson and hugely admiring of what he achieved in remarkable times and circumstances. Bravo.
very disappointing quality of plates
By Photobook paul
from Santa Paula, CA
First book on Thomson's life work also still contains far better platesthan those copied for the Levenger edition from the Eastman Museum copy of Thomson's 1873 work, because the plates in JohnThomson. A Window to the Orient (Thames and Hudson, 1985) were not only printed in duotone on coated paper but, more import-antly, were printed from either original negatives or vintage prints of Thomson's China images in the Wellcome Institute inEngland. The contrasts and clarity of plates in the White book put the plates in the expensive Levenger coffee table edition to shame. Fortunately, I own a copy of the White book and regret buying the Levenger edition now.

A most beautiful, impressive book
By Martha
from Olean, New York
The cover alone is worth the price—that gorgeous Chinese-red and gold! Frankly, I'm surprised it costs only what it does. It looks like it would be much more, especially when you see the actual book.I've never placed any books on our dining room table, as it's a formal dining room, but this book has a place of honor on the dining room table.
The Inmost Shrine

This book is incredible! Whether you have been to the places depicted in Thomson's images or not, it is a fascinating documentation of a culture that continues to be intertwined with ours.The large format makes it an especially wonderful gift.

Those attending the Goose Creek Police Department's citizens police academy on Sept. 17 learned of some of the most visible public work officers do – patrolling the streets.
"I could talk about the patrol division a full day and probably still not cover everything we do," GCPD Lt. Tom Hill said.
Hill oversees the patrol division. "One of my teams is on the road every single day of the year," he said.
GCPD has 46 patrol officers. They work in 10-hour shifts with three-hour overlaps during night shift, usually the busiest time. There are a minimum of five officers on the road at all times. They average 15 service calls a day.
"They have an hour or two to complete their reports," Hill said. "I have had a night when we had 22 reports in one night. I had to approve all of them.
"Our patrol cars are high-tech compared to some departments. We can send non-emergency dispatch calls on the computer."
According to Hill, officers can scan a driver's license and registration to a computer so a citation can be filled out quickly. "We can give you a citation in five minutes," he said. "Handwriting a citation takes 20 minutes."
There is an average of one and a half radars per patrol team. Each traffic patrol car has mounted front and rear radar.
"We have a digital camera inside the car," he said. "Most of the time we're going to be recording 30 seconds before the lights are on."
Hill said officers bring video to court with evidence such as offenders running stop signs. As soon as officers pull into the GCPD parking lot their dashboard videos download automatically. Nothing is touched.
"High crime areas are more heavily patrolled," Hill said. "If you put an officer where crimes are happening, the criminal is going to go to jail. You put enough police officers in an area, people are going to stop doing stupid stuff.
"The bike patrol has been fantastic for us. They will go out there and write traffic tickets on a bicycle."
Academy attendees also saw a video of what happens when a stop goes wrong.
Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Scott said officer safety videos are shown for the betterment of future officers.
GCPD Capt. David Aarons said officers have no idea what they are dealing with when they arrive on a call.
To demonstrate, GCPD SRO David Coffey had been quietly sitting in on the class. He was dressed in jeans and a black golf polo shirt.
He walked to the front of the room and seemed to pull out an endless stream of weapons hidden on him, placing them on a table. He was carrying 11 knives and four handguns in his pockets and strapped to hidden holsters.
"We don't know if someone is leaving North Charleston and just shot somebody there when we pull them over," Aarons said.
Officers who die in the line of duty have an average of 12 years of experience, Aarons said. The average age is 38. There were 72 officers killed in 2011 in the United States. Of those, 69 were males and three were females. There were 54,774 assaults on officers across the country in 2011.
Aarons said GCPD officers use the martial arts technique called Krav Maga for self-defense. "If you're proficient with the stuff, you're going to survive," he said.
There are four levels of resistance: psychological (intimidating, staring), verbal non-compliance (cursing), passive resistance (protestors) and active resistance (attacking).
"We want voluntary compliance," Aarons said. "When they charge at you with a deadly weapon, that's deadly force. If you start attacking me, it can warrant deadly force. I take all my weapons to the fight."

Last week, Dailytech reported
that California's State senate had blocked employers from requiring
their employees to get "chipped"--implanted with an RFID
chip that would allow for radio identification and tracking.Now
in addition to the privacy concerns, a
new report by the Associate Press has brought to light
serious doubts on RFID implants' medical safety.The report
details how numerous studies on RFID implants in animal test
subjects, starting in the mid-1990s, revealed that the implants led
to a significant increase in malignant tumor growth.Keith
Johnson, a retired toxological pathologist who led one of these
studies, in 1996 at Dow Chemical Co., when interviewed in the report
stated that he had no doubts about whether RFID was to blame for the
increased incidence of cancer. He is quoted as clearly stating,
"The transponders were the cause of the tumors."The
findings were reviewed by top cancer specialists, who found the
results disturbing. They cautioned people that these tests were
performed on animals, so that they were not necessarily applicable in
humans, however, most felt additional research was a necessity.
Some went as far to say that they would not allow family members to
receive implants.Currently about 2,000 people worldwide have
received RFID chips implants, according to VeriChip,
the leading manufacturer of FDA-approved RFID implants, including a
couple who were ordered
to do so by their employer.Verichip commented that they
were "not aware of any studies that have resulted in malignant
tumors in laboratory rats, mice and certainly not dogs or cats."The
company also, sells RFID chips for animals.A significant
detail to these studies is that many of them were not intended to
study the correlation between RFID chip implanting to cancer--rather,
during research on a separate topic the increased cancer rates were
high enough to catch the researchers' attention and allow them to
draw a clear conclusion that the chip was causing the increased
cancer rate.The AP report goes on to discuss the
suspect nature of the FDA's approval of VeriChip's human RFID
implant. The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and
Human Sciences, which at the time of the approval, was headed by
Thompson.Just two weeks after the Jan. 10, 2005 approval
of the device, Tommy Thompson resigned his post with the department
and within five months assumed a position at VeriChip. He
received stock options and cash compensation for his newly acquired
position.Thompson, until recently a candidate for the 2008
Republican presidential nomination, recently denied in an interview
having any familiarity with VeriChip before his resignation.The
FDA refused to comment on which studies it reviewed when approving
the device.A recent AMA report which lauded RFID implants,
claimed to be entirely unaware of the studies correlating the implant
to cancer. Dr. Steven Stack, an AMA board member, said he had
never heard the studies ever mentioned before.As Dr. Stack
had knowledge of the Department of Health and Human Sciences
committee's review of the implant, pending FDA approval, this
statement would indicate that the Committee did not take these
studies into account during its approval process.More
research needs to be done before final conclusions are drawn, but as
its dirty laundry comes to light, the controversial practice of RFID
implanting and its FDA approval has received another major setback.
quote: Microchips are not in universal use, but there are legal requirements in some jurisdictions, such as the state of New South Wales, Australia. Some countries, such as Japan, require ISO-compliant microchips on dogs and cats being brought into the country, or for the person bringing the pet into the country to also bring a microchip reader that can read the non-ISO-compliant microchip. [23]In New Zealand, all dogs first registered after 2006-07-01 are to be microchipped. Farmers protested that farm dogs should be exempt, drawing a parallel to the Dog Tax War of 1898. [24]. Farm dogs were exempted from microchipping in an amendment to the legislation passed in June 2006.
quote: What kind of crack are you smoking?NO, most pets DON'T have chips implanted, you are insane.
quote: I advocate prison for anyone involved in this senseless violation of human or animal rights. This means YOU TOO. I want you in prison for violating your pet. If you think I am kidding, pull your head out of your ass, this is just not right inserting things into a living organism for your mere convenience.

An Illinois Senate panel has approved Gov. Pat Quinn's choice to oversee the state Department of Corrections despite objections from Republicans.
Monday's 7-2 vote on Corrections Director S.A. "Tony" Godinez came during a hearing in Chicago.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports the approval came after Senate President John Cullerton appointed temporary members to the 12-person panel because at least four central and southern Illinois lawmakers didn't attend.
The Senate Executive Appointments Committee meeting was held a day before Tuesday's election.
State Sen. Tim Bivins from Dixon is the panel's ranking Republican. He says Monday's vote creates an unusual appearance.
Godinez has been criticized for hiring an alleged ex-gang member as an adviser before the man was fired.
The full state Senate must approve Godinez's appointment.

With the release of EA's two-player co-operative shoot fest Army of Two: The 40th Day right around the corner, we thought we'd indulge in a bit of co-op action ourselves (no, not like that). The result? The Top 10 Co-op Games of all Time. If you're after a video game to play with your mate, whether it's on the couch or online, then we've got you covered. Now, who's got our six?
10. Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Resi 5 might have divided long-term fans of the franchise, and indeed action gamers in general, but there's one thing upon which we can all agree: it worked brilliantly in co-op. When played alone, the delectable Sheva largely acts as an unusually attractive donkey. AI Sheva has no concept of ammo conservation, so most players just give her a cattle prod and force her to carry all their unloaded weapons. But when she's being controlled by a human being, ideally a good friend, the game suddenly takes on a new dimension. The level designs reveal a new layer of subtlety, and before you know it you'll be using proper two-man tactics. And as an added bonus, you're spared the tedium of Chris Redfield shouting "Sheva! Sheva! SHEVA!" over and over and over again.
9. Halo 3: ODST - Xbox 360
The Halo series has always been pretty good for co-op banter, but the recent ODST arguably represents the best effort so far in terms of sociable gaming. In addition to full co-op support for the campaign, there's also Firefight mode - a wave-based challenge that more or less squeezes Gears of War 2's Horde mode into the classic Master Chief mould - even if the man himself is nowhere to be found. We might have seen Firefight's basic structure before, but there's still something highly addictive about the way the difficulty slowly ramps up, making life increasingly painful for your hard-bitten shock troopers.

|Slow Dynamics of Orbital Domains in Manganite
|Wednesday, 25 June 2008 00:00
At the ALS, an international team of researchers has used low-energy coherent x rays to extract new knowledge about the correlated motion of groups of self-assembled, outer-lying electrons in the extremely complex electronic system found in manganites. The manganite family of materials has puzzled physicists for years by defying standard models for the motion of electrons in crystals. By controlling the properties of the incident x rays, the researchers were able to map the complexity of a "half-doped" manganite into a far-field speckle diffraction pattern to study the manganite's domain dynamics. Their results suggest the material undergoes a transition characterized by the competition between a pinned orbital domain topology that remains static and mobile domain boundaries that exhibit slow, temporal fluctuations.
One conundrum involving the manganites is colossal magnetoresistance, a hot topic in correlated electron physics with promising applications in electronics, energy conservation, and nanodevice switching. Scientifically, this family of materials is also exciting because of the enormous range of phenomena it exhibits. Charge, orbital, lattice, and magnetic order are all intertwined to create an array of patterns, all interrelated in a nontrivial way. Orbital ordering occurs when specific electron wave functions self-organize. Interactions between these electron shells determine the patterns formed by the orbitals and, among other things, will even affect the system's magnetism.
To perform this study, the researchers used the coherent magnetic scattering endstation at ALS Beamline 12.0.2, which is specifically designed to deliver "laser-like" x rays that propagate in unison, like musicians in a marching band. It includes an 11-flanged vacuum chamber (dubbed the "flangosaurus" after its resemblance to a prehistoric creature) that allows signal detection over a broad range of scattering angles.
These coherent x rays are also resonant. This means they are tuned precisely to a specific absorption edge of a particular atomic species in the crystal to enhance the sensitivity to the local environment. In other words, by changing the energy of the x rays to particular values, they can "see" things that are invisible at all other energies.
The researchers measured a diffraction peak that is due solely to the orbital ordering of the d-electron shells in a single crystal of half-doped manganite, Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3. Because of the coherent illumination, constructive and deconstructive interference occurs between waves scattered from different domains, and the peak exhibits a "speckle" pattern, a unique characteristic pattern that acts as a fingerprint of the microscopic domain structure. Just as it is not easy to directly connect the fingerprint of a person to the face, extracting the domain structure from the speckle pattern is not straightforward. However, to better understand the orbital domain physics, one can measure the dynamics of the domains by noting that any small changes in this unique speckle pattern indicate changes in the domain configuration, the same way that a different fingerprint uniquely correlates to a different person.
Overall, the speckle patterns did not change significantly over time. However, near a transition temperature of about 232 K, small-amplitude fluctuations "turned on" before the domains completely melted. The domain walls are pinned except for close to the transition, where they execute small-amplitude motion. This behavior contrasts with that of most systems, where things usually behave in one of two ways: fluid-like, where everything is dynamic, or solid-like, where everything is static. Here a mixture of the two was found. Another surprising finding was that the fraction of the sample that was dynamic moved quite slowly, slower than typical electron domain behavior in other types of systems. The cause is unclear, but something is impeding the motion of the domain walls, up to a time scale on the order of several minutes. These slow dynamics may even be the reason the manganites form these disordered states in the first place.

The pleasant sweetness of apples and cider complements fresh cabbage, and pecans add crunch. The cabbage is cooked only until it is barely tender, before it gets slick.
To turn this side dish into a warm, filling entree salad, add shredded roast chicken or browned slices of apple-chicken sausage, and crumble blue cheese over the top.
You can use a ripe, firm pear in place of the apple. You can also cook a thinly sliced fennel bulb along with the onion. Adapted from "The New Southern Garden Cookbook" by Sheri Castle (University of North Carolina Press, 2011).
Cider-Braised Cabbage With Apples and Pecans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, halved from top to bottom and thinly sliced
ø cup apple cider (sweet or hard cider)
1 medium red cabbage, quartered, cored and shredded (about 12 cups)
2 large crisp apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
ø cup pecan halves or pieces
Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cider, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the cabbage, apples, sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is barely tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid boils away. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with the pecans and serve warm.
