Texas Instruments shareholders want the company to exit the mobile chip business

Shareholders of TI want the company to face facts and realize that Qualcomm's S4 processor and the upcoming NVIDIA Tegra 3+ are eating Texas Instrument's lunch and want the company to exit the mobile chips business...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

if TI is selling someone is going to buy and change up this hardware to make it more competitive and make a killing. i think these shareholders need to rethink this move. I say they go in and redesign a chip to keep up with the demands and make new partnerships. this is only the opinion of a droid user though.
45. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1163; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I agree completely, and I think I should add that what you are saying is most likely what the leaders over at TI are doing right now. The problem is the shareholders are mostly interested in making money, and they want to make money as quickly as possible. So, for them, it would be easier for the company to keep doing what it use to do instead of spending time and money in the mobile market. It's very possible for TI to spend the resources and create a great mobile chip brand, but the shareholders see the amount of resources and time you would have to spend as a somewhat big risk and they would much rather play it safe (or so it seems).
It'll be interesting to see what TI does, but I do hope they take that risk and go forward in the mobile chip market.

*TI is known for their open hardware
*till what I've heard OMAP 5 rocks.
*LTE is not necessary to sell in the international markets
hope the shareholders are reading this

I've always liked TI for being modder friendly. They may not be the power house like what Samsung makes but the less proprietary blobs needed to work around the better

Maybe Intel is facing the same problem too~
6. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
What Intel is facing is too much time being a psedo-monopoly and being used to sell their motherboards at the price they wanted. They are just not used to have real competition.
Their mobile SoCs are not that bad, but the price for them does not make sense for anyone to buy.
5. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
do they realize that mobile chip business will be the future? If they just continue developing faster and greater chips, they won't be left behind. I hope they could see the big future of mobile chip business before they could be totally forgotten if they leave.
7. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I was going to post pretty much the same: if you are out of the mobile chips you are just out of the fastest growing (and in the future the biggest) for chip makers.
35. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
I think they know what's at stake, the thing is its not just mobile chips that are the future but mobile in general. There other parts in the mobile devices that are apart of the future.and I think Texas instruments knows that and are finding there nitch in the industry.
8. Hammerfest (Posts: 383; Member since: 12 May 2012)
Have to agree with pretty much all of the previous posts...
Not to mention my extreme dislike for Qualcomm extending back to my HTC Titan days where they promised several times to implament a GFX driver and never did (and in the next 4 devices HTC put out with qualcrap chips as well)...
If It where up to me, id make it primarily TI, nVidia, and Samsung... screw qualcomm...
9. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
what short sited investors. Get out of the fastest growth vector pretty much in the world right now? What sort of lunacy is that. Especially when their last product was second only to exynos. If they need to retool for all in one solutions, then get to it. Get OMAP5 out and get moving.
Screw qualcomm, their chips suck and I'm tired of seeing them in "high end phones" when they are not high end chips. Its not about "samsung fanboy" like people like to proclaim, its about expectations and delivery. Ti has a history of delivering better than everyone but samsung. There is zero reason for them to exit the sector. There is every reason for them to double down though. If all in one is what the sector wants, then make it happen.
10. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
We all know you don't like Qualcomm but we all have to be honest here, right now the have the best dual core chips available in the the market. And if the Pro is compatable with LTE like they say they might be on top until we get performance specs on the Exynos 5
12. nyamo (Posts: 274; Member since: 19 Mar 2011)
LTE does not make a phone. many markets over seas do not require LTE to sell a great phone. I for one avoid it like the plauge with ATT's small footprint right now. Next gen technology is not nearly mature enough to force every consumer on to it.
15. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
But in the US it is a big deal, Thats why they care about making phones with LTE capability. If not then my EVO would've had a Tegra 3 instead of an S4. Besides you know they mostly use HSPA+ overseas right?
27. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
best how exactly? their only benefits are cheap cost and integrated lte. other than that the exynos whips it pretty handily in just about everying from battery to gpu. it manages to only be a hair better than the tegra 3 in some tests. the pro puts it barely above the a9 exynos quad in gpu.. it still cant keep up with the a15 exynos at all nor the proposed omap5. i dont put heavy consideration on LTE. battery and horsepower are way more important.
30. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
the exynos in the galaxy note cannot out perform the s4. the quad core in the international version destroys the s4 but gets destroyed by the s4 pro. the s4 pro basically beats any mobile processor on the market right now, that's why i said it'll be on top until the exynos 5 comes out. and i havent seen any specs on omap 5 so i'll concede to that point. also like i said before us carriers are putting heavy emphasis on lte. and the last exynos was capable of lte, samsung didnt use it because the s4 was more powerful.
32. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
It has one killer feature...It is on the market. The S4 Pro will be in phones months before the A15 quads are in phones (Samsung said that their Exynos quads will only be in tablets).
37. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
A15 quads havent been announced yet. Its A15 dual.
Samsung said that their exynos 5250 A15 will be in tablets FIRST and then into phones.. not exclusively to tablets. Its a production supply issue. Sell it through tablets while they ramp up production for phones which sell exponentially more.
That also doesnt mean that they could just be being funny and introduce it in everyone's favorite phablet, the Note2 which is to be unveiled this month some time... Not a big chance, but ya never know.
39. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
My point is that they haven't even been announced. The S4 Pro will be in things is the next few months, but the A15s are still in planning stages. Chances are that the A15 duals will be slightly behind it. The GPUs might be slightly better, because they will be newer, but the processors themselves will be behind.
40. MISTER.H (banned) (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
I believe that ARM themself have a A15+ 8 core which runs at 3.0ghz and its not avaialable to public. Just imagine that along with a 4Gb ram and T658 mali 8 core overclocked to 527hz gpu.Wishfull thinking!
42. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I can't imagine that being useful, but that would be awesome. If they put it in a device now, I would buy it tomorrow. For now, the S4 Pro is what we can hope for.
48. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Samsung has been demoing A15's in tablets for months. You guys need to catch up. They are production ready. The ONLY thing that might slow it up is LTE integration. Of course, being on a tablet that doesnt matter so much, which is another reason they are going tablet first.
And btw, its not just me that understands the tech, its the entire tech review industry that agrees with me.
"ther than that GPU which includes support for up to WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) resolutions -- perfect for the 11.8-inch P10 mentioned in court filings -- and much more, the white paper uncovered by Android Authority also mentions support for features like Wi-Fi Display, high bandwidth LPDDR3 RAM running at up to 800MHz with a bandwidth of 12.8GBps, USB 3.0 and SATA III."
"The Exynos 5 Dual is the chip you should look for in upcoming tablets and smartphones, as it should have the most powerful CPU and GPU of any new chips coming out by the end of the year, including the S4 Pro and OMAP 5. Next year, we can begin talking about the quad-core Tegra 4 and the Exynos 5 Quad, but, until then, Exynos 5 Dual should reign supreme in the mobile market in terms of performance and features."

52. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
They are not ready to be sold in devices yet. The S4 pro is already in devices that are coming out soon. It has moved past prototypes and Demos. Read the article. It says that the S4 Pro should be faster running apps designed for multiple cores.
54. MISTER.H (banned) (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
Qualcomm have 4 types of chip, apq. Msm. And another 2, I havnt looked up.
58. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
devices coming out around Xmas which is the same launch window of the A15 which is "Q4".
what about that is so hard? None of the Pro devices are coming out before Q4. Being rumored/announced doesnt mean anything on the timeline. How long was the Bionic announced before it came out ? 9 months? lol.
Samsung plays their chips close to the vest since they primarily use them for themselves. They didnt confirm that the S3 was going to be the Quad 4412 until just a week or 2 before it was officially unveiled.. Do you really expect them to tell you what phone the A15 is going to be in months before it happens?
Slightly faster in 1 category while being way slower in everything else. If an app opens in 0.3 seconds vs 0.4 seconds, do you really notice? Concentrate on all the features the Exynos 5 has that the Pro doesnt, and how much more powerful the vast majority of the shared features are on the E5.
Point is, you guys get your hopes up for impossible time lines. These chips will be dropping in commercial phones relatively at the same time.
41. MISTER.H (banned) (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
I cant wait to get hold of one and root it, and overclock it.
13. crankyd00d (Posts: 191; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Looks to me like they want to avoid the hassle of acquiring a baseband company as it would be very hard and expensive, and then they would need a couple of years to integrate that into their designs, the future is integrated or die and they know it, I hope they go for it, just as you said they make good chips, and losing competitors is never good
14. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
You normally post factual & true stuff. This time you clearly spoke with emotion instead of fact. It it clear that right now as it stands the Qualcomm Krait S4 is the KING of mobile processors, by a long shot.
They are insanely powerful & work with LTE out of the box. They work with ALL LTE's not just the ones in Korea like the quad-core Exynos 4.
The Qualcomm Krait S4 Pro dual-core clearly outclasses the Exynos 4 quad-core & is king right now in the benchmarks by such a HUGE margin. Who knows when the Exynos 5 will be in a phone or tablet. All I know is the Qualcomm dual-core S4 Krait Pro is right around the corner & by winter there will be quad-core S4 Krait's that will munch on Exynos 5 A15 dual-cores.
Who knows, you maybe having a bad day but you have never been more wrong like you are right now. Hopefully you will get your senses back & see the error of your way. To say Qualcomm chips suck is clearly opinion based & so far off the truth.
If you are going to release a "high end" phone right now the S4 Krait Pro is the ONLY way to go.
18. ph00ny (Posts: 1235; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Krait isn't the king until the quad core version in pro version gets released. By then they may get overrun by OMAP5 and Exynos5 again
20. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Sounds more like hate to me. lol
23. ph00ny (Posts: 1235; Member since: 26 May 2011)
if you say so.
People see a few quadrant scores and automatically assume it's twice as good because it's close to some of the quad core A9 scores but if you actually look at non-qualcomm benchmark scores, it's not that much better than cortex A9 variants in cpu scores core to core
25. MISTER.H (banned) (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
That's what I was saying.
28. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
sounds more like fanboy hope to me.
right now the king is exynos 4420.
when the proncomes out at chrismas it will be faster than tye 4420 by about 20-30% in gpu only... thats the only part that changes.
know what else is supposed to be out before christmas? the exynos 5250 A15 and supposedly the OMAP5 a15. both which paper specs anniliate the pro's paper specs. hell even the tegra3+ might be out by then which will place just below the pro most likely.
nothing i said was unfactual regardless of emotion my friend.
34. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
how can the 4420 be king? in actual performance it loses to the s4 pro in everything, not just gpu and not just the qualcomm benchmark tests by a large margin. and paper specs are just that, paper. on paper i thought the 4420 was gonna murder the s4 pro, but it didnt.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ok.. seriously..
take a step back and look at the field
tell me which phone the S4-Pro is in CURRENTLY?
oh.. NONE.. its not out yet.
Thus, the 4420 is still king. Its not that hard.
And no, the only thing different between the S4 and the S4 pro is the exchanging of the Adreno to 320 from 225 or whatever it currently is. The CPU and the rest of the architecture is still unchanged and thus.. sub par. The only tests out for it so far have been GRAPHICAL, aka, looking at the GPU.
If your going to proclaim that a chip that is not expected to be out for another 4-6 months is "king", then the S4 still loses to Exynos.. to the Exynos 5250 which will be out about the same time if not sooner. True A15 unlike the wannabe "A15 equivilant" lie of the S4, massive CPU jump and the Mali 605 absolutely dominates everything but the next PowerVR GPU that is slated to be on the Omap5... if that ever comes out.
38. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
2 months actually, lg is using the s4 pro in two new phones
46. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
late sept/early october.. in the US? That's a bet. Black friday to Xmas at the earliest is my bet.

53. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
The S4 Pro has the Adreno 320 GPU and double the cores of the S4. The current S4 dual will not be as good as the A15 duals, but the S4 Pro will be better. And when the A15s are coming out, the S4s are expected to get a frequency boost of 500-1000 MHz.
56. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
See that's the thing, we still don't know of any product with the Exynos 5. At least the S4 Pro has been confirmed in devices just waiting to be released. You can Google it.
There are people who are benchmarking the S4 Pro so that has to count for something. I STILL haven't seen any Exynos 5 benchmarking, thus meaning it may still be a ways off.
FACT is the dual-core S4 Pro, steps on the quad-core Exynos 4 like you did as a child when you saw an ant on the street.
When the dual-core A15 Exynos 5 comes out, Qualcomm will counter with a massive 2.5GHz S4 Krait Pro quad-core.
I still haven't heard of ANY A15 quad-cores at ALL. As much as you hate Qualcomm they have been in the game way longer than Samsung & all Samsung did is wake the sleeping giant. Qualcomm is flexing some serious muscle & you need to finally see that. It doesn't get more "high end" & more functional that Qualcomm at the moment.
Qualcomm always had great SoC's but it took some strong competition from Samsung to push & show what true power Qualcomm has up its sleeves. Face it, the performance is growing exponentially & it's getting more & more difficult to see the differences in power, but where Qualcomm kills Samsung is in completeness. Meaning Qualcomm can be used ANYWHERE, & that is something Samsung chips STILL can't match, thus giving the advantage to Qualcomm. I mean Samsung's own phones rock S4 Krait chipsets, because their Exynos 4 just don't work outside of Korea that is. That is why Qualcomm shines.
Samsung has an image to maintain, & if these S4 Krait chips are not "high end" then why did Samsung choose them for their "high end" Samsung Galaxy S III? Food for thought!
59. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
":FACT is the dual-core S4 Pro, steps on the quad-core Exynos 4 like you did as a child when you saw an ant on the street. "
so you think a 10-30% GPU performance improvement over the 4412 is "stepping on ants"?
Come on down from the fan soap box.
If you actually read ANY of the links I provided, they all talked about the fact that the exynos 5 QUAD is scheduled to drop around the same time as the Krait Quad or shortly after.
I dont see the whole sleeping giant thing. The S4 is one of the weakest high end chips, the S4 pro barely tops the A9 charts and will be left in the dust when real A15's drop. The S4 quad will have a similar fate vs the E5 quad.
If it wasnt for the lack of the exynos not having LTE integration while the S4 does, qualcom would be history.
Besides, the biggest chip manufacturer is Samsung, not Qualcomm. They handily do more business than qualcomm.
The iphone and Galaxy 1,2,3 count for WELL MORE than 50% of the industry by themselves. The rest is split up between S4, T3, and Omap4.
More facts, less fan. :)
55. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
The king may be Exynos, but the money is all in Snapdragon.
The Pro will have a faster GPU. If they decide to shove an extra 2 cores into the S4, it'll be almost like Tegra 3 vs S4 v1 all over again.
Qualcomm is apparently planning a revision to get the per clock performance at or above Cortex A15 with similar clock speeds too, and most likely a heavily OC'd Adreno 320 to go with it.
You can hate Qualcomm all you want, but they have the market by the balls because they know what the OEMs need out of an SoC. Even if they don't sell the SoCs, they still win. Their modems are in the iPhone 4s, and will undoubtedly end up in the iPhone 5. Sometimes, it doesn't matter whether the CPU and GPU are the fastest and the bandwidth is the greatest. If an SoC was just those two components, it would be an APU, not an SoC.
57. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
+1 for you my good man.
I mean that is CLEARLY the main reason why Qualcomm is #1 in the world. They know that there is more than power to make a great SoC.
Qualcomm has the PERFECT balance of POWER, USABILITY & PERFORMANCE. It also doesn't hurt that their SoC's just work in any part of the world including the biggest markets in the world.
60. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
fun fact.
qualcom makes less per chip than samsung does. it sells at a much lower price than exynos.
Samsung OWNS more than 50% of the smartphone chip market. Qualcomm has like 20-25% at best as it splits the rest with Nvidia and Texas Instruments. Samsung sells MORE THAN all other android manufacturers combined + they make all the chips for apple. Do the math.
The money is all Exynos/A5, which are samsung products.
61. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
You're still forgetting that Qualcomm holds all the patents for CDMA2000 AND a ton of key patents for UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+. Every phone sold with CDMA or UMTS in the US is money for Qualcomm.
Samsung didn't have a hand in making the A5. They helped out a TON with the A4, but Apple bought off a company that designed the A5 chip. Samsung does make the A5 chip though, but then that's like saying that TSMC "owns" 50% of the GPU market because they make ATI and Nvidia GPUs.
It's not about the CPU and GPU. It's about the modems, and that's what Samsung doesn't make. What's the modem powering an iPhone? Qualcomm MDM series chips. What GPS solution is in the iPhone? MDM series chips. What powers every DC-HSPA+/LTE phone? Qualcomm solutions.
You can call them Crapdragons all you want, Qualcomm doesn't give a crap because they're swimming in pools of profit.
62. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Thank you, almost every phone in the world has something from Qualcomm. Their modems are the standard & are used all over the world. lol
Thank you.
21. true1984 (Posts: 823; Member since: 23 May 2012)
The problem with that is we dont know when those will get released either or if OMAP5 can out perform the S4 Pro yet. We've seen the S4 Pro's capabilities so I just want to see what Exynos 5 has to offer.
24. MISTER.H (banned) (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
The snapdragon S4 Krait in the US, performance of Krait
is on par with upclocked 1.5 Tegra 3 QC proc shipping
in the international HTC OneX . The 4412 in the chart gives
a great comparison between the S4(OneX) and the 4412
International S3, although the OneX scores are on the low
side of the Quadrant scores I've seen. Typically S4 ranges
4800-5200 overall. The hi10p playback on the US version is
how dependent playback is on multithreading. S4 has
strong single threading . S4 has strong single threaded
performance and scales well in multithreading, but I don't
no that this makes up for the loss of 2 cores.

You are either a huge Samsung fanboy or simply don't know what you're talking about.
Haven't it occurred to you that there's a reason why every mobile chip vendor can't simply assemble an integrated architecture like "crapdragon"?
Its not that simple, you ignorant.
There's a complex compromise in each and every of different chip solutions.
Besides and btw, adreno is a unified shader architecture.
Mali "destroys" it only in pixel shader tasks.
In high polygon rendering mali 400MP4 is hugely inferior to adreno 225.

Ti Omap4 is one of th best of A9 CPU (Goolge choose it for Galaxy Nexus). However it's too slow introducing new quad-core A9 and A15dual core. That's why at this moment Ti Omap4 cannot compete with T3 and ExynosQuad and S4 !
And I don't understand TI's

This is like i said before pretty dumb for investors to do. Yes there is huge growing market for mobile chips, alot of competition but you need the right salesman for the job. TI needs a guy to pitch these chips like blue chips at a casino and gain back lost companies.
And if they do sell off the division I pray that Google buys it quick. This will help them eliminate the middle man for Motorola Mobility. It will also give them some extra power behind chip patents and impelmentation in Android OS.

i think TI shouldn't exit... they still make good chips... i think if Microsoft will just allow manufacturers to use other chips besides Qualcomm's (i really dont know why they are supper strick to this segement, maybye to avoid the buggyness) they can still make good market!

no to mention cheap production... they need to offer it cheaply!

New Delhi: Lost on a tailor-made rank turner, humiliated on a flat deck â at home. What next? Indian cricket has hit a new low with a second consecutive loss to England looking large in their own backyard â a 10-wicket humiliation in Mumbai followed by a dressing down in Kolkata. Understandably, the fans are irate and chose the microblogging site Twitter to vent it out. "Sehwag: They [England] are not Bangladesh. | Cook: True. But you blokes are not even Bangladesh," tweeted @vsnipz referring to the spineless display by the team that has put England well on their way to take a 2-1 lead, with just the Nagpur Test left to play. "Import Panesar !" said @kweenbhargav, hinting at England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar, who has turned the series on its head with 16 wickets in two Tests. He didn't play the first Test in Ahmedabad, which India won. Fans also took a dig at coach Duncan Fletcher, who has failed to impress since replacing Gary Kirsten. "Is Duncan Fletcher resigning after Nagpur Test? Or we have to fire him? Anything is fine," tweeted @Dravidoholic. "Is Team India promoting #FDI in Cricket ?" jibed @kweenbhargav, while a tweet by @fakingnews read, "This team has lost confidence of even Poonam Pandey." Noted journalist Kunal Pradhan indicated that the BCCI needs to get more serious about Test cricket, "The question isn't if the Indian team is good enough for Test #cricket but if it cares enough about it," he tweeted. British journalist John Etheridge pointed at the lack of fight from India in the two defeats. "India collapsing with a total lack of heart and resolve here. Very poor. Embarrassing for Duncan Fletcher, not to mention the players," his tweet read.

WHO and UNDP Partner on GEF-funded Project on Health Adaptation to Climate Change
December 2009: The Global Environment Facility (GEF) approved US$4.5 million funding for a joint global project by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) on "piloting health adaptation to climate change."
The project aims to: enhance early warning; build capacity; pilot specific intervention measures; and share lessons learned on protecting health from a range of hazards associated with climate change. The project will involve health ministries and relevant national partners in Barbados, Bhutan, China, Fiji, Jordan, Kenya and Uzbekistan over the period 2010-2013. [WHO Press Release]

The terms "referee" and "badass" are almost antonyms.
The two are never in the same sentence, unless it's a conversation about how awesome something was until the fun police showed up in their striped shirts and quashed all the goodness.
Today is not about that kind of ref. Today is about the refs who ran out of F's to give in '82. They might make you laugh, or they might scream "Whoomp there it is" and chokeslam you into a world of semiconscious regret.
So mind your manners, respect the game and protect your neck—these are 10 badass ref moments.

1. Don't clean the wound. If there is any doubt over the type of snake a venom sample can be taken from the bite area.
2. Wrap the entire limb tightly in a compression bandage, or normal bandage if you don't have one. Restricts the blood flow and slows the lymphatic system.
3. Immobilise the patient and keep them calm. This slows down both the blood flow and the lymphatic system, thus slowing the venoms progress toward vital organs.
4. Elevate the bitten limb: Again this slows the venoms rate.
5. Get help, or get to help as quickly as possible. Phone ahead with the type of snake if known, so the correct anti venom can be ready.
Obviously with Green Mambas there is no supply of anti venom on hand. Which there should be at the location where the snakes were kept.

Glad you got some sleep. I went to bed at 8pm last night and still woke up after 8 hrs feeling tired.
How are the migraines etc.?
Glad you got some sleep. I went to bed at 8pm last night and still woke up after 8 hrs feeling tired.
How are the migraines etc.?
I left work at lunch. Going to eat something then go lay down for a few hours. I hate being likes this but there isn't much I can do. I was talking to members on the phone and they could barely hear me. Every other person I spoke with kept asking me to raise my voice and I barely could. If I was able to, I was practically yelling(at least in my head it was yelling). I'm chalking this up to the lack of sleep from the other night.
I keep wondering if something is wrong with me. My sleep is shit, been having a lot of migraines/headaches, feeling nauseous in the mornings, my appetite is either like, fuck yes, food! or dude, no way in hell am I eating that. I just ate half a large pizza and still feel hungry.
I have no solution for migraines, unfortunately. I get them from time to time. You can get pills to take that will eradicate one when you feel it coming on, but doesn't do anything once a migraine sets in. I forget what the drug is called (I got it as a prescription).
Some paleo folks have said that supplementing magnesium regularly helps.
Depression Lies
I already take magnesium. I think the drug is called imitrex. My sis is on it and I work for a health insurance company.
I have the one you're talking about, Tasha. I carry it in my purse. Unfortunately, all I've found as a migraine remedy is a cold, dark room.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I took a 3 hour nap yesterday after I got home and had lunch. Slept another 8 hours at 9pm and feel totally wide awake today. My neck hurts but I can deal with that.
Just got a text from Clint saying that he saw either a shooting star or an asteroid coming towards Earth this morning. He's telling me that it didn't seem too far away and I'm trying to explain astronomy and how the curvature of the Earth can affect sight. Doesn't seem like he wants to listen to me.

Many municipalities throughout West Virginia are experiencing problems with having too many deer living within or near their city limits.
Deer vehicle collisions, along with damage to ornamental shrubs and gardens, are on the rise due to increasing deer populations.
Any incorporated city, town, or village is eligible to participate in special urban deer archery hunts by following certain state legislative rules.
Wildlife biologists and Natural Resources Police Officers within the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources are available to help any municipality through the process of implementing such a hunt.
Most cities that have chosen to implement an archery hunt do so by special ordinances and rules. Some examples cities have chose to have are as follows:
n Removal of ordinances regarding illegal projectiles.
n Require special permission from landowners.
n Establish certain hunting zones.
n Require bowhunter education class attendance.
n Issue permits to participate in the hunt.
n Charge administrative fees.
Naturally, all DNR hunting regulations governing hunting will apply to those special hunts.
Last year, 12 cities (Barboursville, Bethlehem, Bridgeport, Charleston, Harper Ferry, Harrisville, Morgantown, North Hills, Parkersburg, Ronceverte, Weirton and Wheeling) had an urban deer archery season. The total harvest from these special hunts was 713 deer.
This past week, I had the opportunity to talk with the liaison for the Morgantown Urban Archery Deer Hunt. This hunt ran from Sept. 8 to Dec. 3.
Approximately 65 hunters participated on 14 tracks of land within the city limits. These were city parks, private parcels, and West Virginia University properties.
A total of 118 deer were harvested: 62 of these deer were donated to a local meat processor and paid for by the city. These 62 deer yielded over 1,600 pounds of fresh ground venison that was distributed to local food shelters, soup kitchens and other charitable agencies within the city.
I wonder if any of this venison went to a homeless shelter.
It was about 15 years ago when I tried to donate some venison to the homeless shelter in Elkins, and the manager refused to accept it because it was not government-inspected meat.
During the Morgantown Urban Deer Hunt last year, there were no hunting accidents or incidents that created any problems.
The 2013 Morgantown deer hunt is scheduled for Sept. 7 through Dec. 31.
Archery deer hunters need to keep in mind that up to seven deer may be taken during these special hunts, and these are all bonus deer. They do not count toward the regular archery deer season bag limit.
I know for the past two or three years, Buckhannon has considered having an urban deer hunt; but the city council has not approved it. The city of South Charleston is moving toward establishing an urban deer hunt that will be similar to the hunt that has been held for several years in Charleston.
Several people in this area have told me that Elkins needs to have an urban deer hunt.
It was about two years ago I talked with some of the city council members who were in favor of this idea.
If enough people, who are residents of the city, would like to have an urban deer hunt, they need to start talking to their city council representatives and attend the regularly scheduled council meetings.

Review: The Long Forgotten, Divinity School Drop Out
Shawn Macomber, fellow blogger and formerly a writer for the conservative magazine American Spectator, might seem like an odd choice for a hardcore screamer, but he does the job admirably on The Long Forgotten's first release, Divinity School Drop Out. With the music written by Bob Merrigan and the lyrics by Macomber, you can tell that these two listened to a lot of fringe metal bands growing up--you won't be likely to share this with your mother-in-law or your cube mates.
The nearest immediate equivalent that I could think of was SOD's Speak English or Die, although SOD was much more of a thrash band, and The Long Forgotten stays closer to early eighties heavy metal roots. At times, the music occasionally calls to mind Iron Maiden (without the camp and negative connotations) or Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss. If you like Atreyu or Lamb of God, you'll probably like this.
That isn't to say that The Long Forgotten are just playing in someone else's sandbox. While the influences and the style are familiar, the band has a unique sound. It helps to have songs like "Song for the People of Belgium (Circa 1914)," a defiant vision of Belgium in the face of the imperial powers before being dragged into World War I.
Macomber has the perfect, howling voice to sing a line like "Proud we stood our ground/ bitter that we could never win." This is good stuff--and a perfect marriage of talents. Merrigan writes great hardcore music and Macomber writes (and screams) just the right kind of provocative, rebellious lyrics that never sound preachy or overbearing. If there is a cohesive message, it's probably summed up best on "I Wasn't Born to Follow"--a kind of declaration of independence that makes no apologies for its hard turn away from dogma as soon as Macomber shouts, "It's not free thought if the price is fealty to ideology."
Put it this way: this makes the "punk" of bands like Green Day look weak and studied. Green Day's rage on American Idiot is sanitized anti-American pop music wearing a punk mask, but The Long Forgotten is the real thing. Hard, fast, a little rough around the edges, and with a hell of a lot less make-up.
Bad Religion would be proud.
Visit the band (the album is just $5 through their online store).

5 August
I spent 2 weeks in Europe and every day I had dessert (at least once). The last 4 days I finally caved and had bread. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I haven't had anything terribly bad since Sunday night, but it feels like I'm eating a whole lot more than before vacation. I didn't really binge while away, just allowed myself a few sweets and often cheese. I'm having cravings, but it could also be that I'm so tired. I haven't slept much since Saturday.
Breakfast: Green smoothie (apple, spinach, water= enough for almost 1.5-2 pints)
Hunger Pang: 2/3 chicken thigh, leftover green smoothie
Lunch: 1 1/3 chicken thigh, 1 cup banana/coconut shake, 1 piece cashew butter blondie (ground cashews, eggs, honey, coconut oil)
Hunger Pang: 2 handfuls cashews
Dinner: Soup with brocolli and lamb
Sweet craving:, 2 sunflower seed butter blondies,
lemon curd (lemons, eggs, honey, coconut oil)
Exercise: 20 min walk to work
Health: Felt like I was getting sick today. Pretty tired from lack of sleep. Achey but better than the last few days.

Cellulitis in a post-kidney transplant patient—more than meets the eye
A 47-year-old woman was hospitalized due to fever, shortness of breath and anterior thoracic chest pain. She had undergone an uneventful cadaveric kidney transplantation 2 months prior to her referral to hospital.
The patient's past medical history was significant for several years of hemodialysis for an undiagnosed end-stage renal disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Her medications included tacrolimus, prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, valgancyclovir, sulfamethoxazole/trimethrprim, amlodipine, doxazocin, metoprolol, simvastatin, papaverine and lansoprazole.
On physical examination she had decreased airflow over her left lower lung. Chest radiography demonstrated a consolidation in the left lower lung field and the right upper lobe (Figure 1A). A computer tomography scan showed multiple lesions in both lungs, some of them with cavitary centers. The patient had no productive cough and did not produce sputum for analysis and cultures. Echocardiography was normal. The patient was treated with oral azithromycin and intravenous cefuroxime antibiotics. Within 2 days, the fever and shortness of breath abated and the patient was discharged. Given the severity of the imaging findings, a 3-week course of intravenous ceftriaxone antibiotics was recommended. However, the patient stopped this treatment and follow-up after 10 days.
Three weeks later, the patient returned because of pain, edema and erythema of her old arterio-venous shunt in the right arm that started shortly after stopping the antibiotics. Her left arm was swollen, painful and erythematous (Figure 1B). The radial pulse was palpated and there was no arthritis. Laboratory results showed mild leukocytosis. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 100 mm/h and the C-reactive protein was 7.87 mg/dl (normal range <1 mg/dl). A venous duplex study of her right arm did not demonstrate a deep vein thrombosis. The patient was admitted with the diagnosis of cellulitis and started on cefazolin antibiotic therapy.
On repeat physical examination several additional findings were noticed. There were two furuncles, one on her right cheek, near her upper lip and the other on the lateral aspect of her left wrist (Figure 1C and D). Additionally, a 7 cm subcutaneous mass was found on the medial aspect of her left breast. The chest radiograph was identical to the previous one performed several weeks previously. However, computer tomography of the thorax revealed a slight enlargement of the previous pulmonary nodules and new a subcutaneous mass in the left breast (Figure 1E). Mammography also demonstrated a hyper-dense mass suspected of being either a malignancy, an organized hematoma or an abscess.
Needle aspirations were performed from the furuncle on the left wrist and from the left breast mass. From both, Nocardia asteroides complex was cultured (Figure 1F).
The nocardiaceae were originally discovered by a veterinarian named Edmond Nocard in 1888, who isolated the organism from cattle suffering from lymphadenitis (farcy). In 1889, the bacteria was named Nocardia farcinica. The original strains from this discovery, kept and later shipped to the USA, were found to include two different organisms. Subsequent typing discovered that one was actually Mycobacteria, while the other was Nocardia. Indeed, culturing and identification have always posed a challenge to microbiological laboratories. Over the years, there have been taxonomic changes and controversies with regard to the species' nomenclature. For example, a wide range of antibiotic resistance profiles demonstrated great variability within the strain N. asteroides leading it to be considered a complex of several species, rather than a single one.
Most often, the nocardia cause syndromes which are dependant on the patient's immune status. Systemic disease is predominantly pulmonary, usually subacute in nature or indolent, progressing over weeks, with thick purulent cough being the predominant feature. Constitutional symptoms may also exist (fever, malaise and weight loss). Of note, 50% of pulmonary Nocardiosis will also have extra-pulmonary manifestations, by either local or hematogenous spread (skin, subcutaneous tissue and central nervous system). Immunocompetent patients present with a predominantly soft tissue skin infection, either a lymphocutaneous infection, a superficial cellulitis or an abscess. The infection can affect the face (most often in children) and lower extremities (adults). Most cases described in the literature are chronic, misdiagnosed/undiagnosed cases with development of drainage sinuses and lymphatic insufficiency.
The treatment of Nocardia infections have dramatically changed since the antibiotic era began. The disease was associated with 100% mortality before antibiotics were available. Sulfonamides decreased mortality rates to 50% among patients with central nervous system involvement.
Cure rates were very high among patients with soft tissue infections or solitary lung infections. Still this treatment is far from satisfactory. For example, a report of patients with acquired immune-deficiency syndrome diagnosed with nocardia infection found that of 20 patients treated with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, 18 died from the infection. Studies assessing sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim prophylaxis to prevent Pneumocystis jiroveci (carinii) pneumonia found no beneficial effect on the incidence of nocardia infection. The use of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is the result of it being the most common available sulfonamide compound. The trimethorpim has no additional effect. Therefore, additional antibiotic therapy is recommended and antibiotic susceptibility testing required for all laboratory Nocardia isolates. A prudent empirical approach will include sulfamethoxazole, amikacin and a β-lactam.
Our patient was immediately begun on sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim treatment with immediate improvement in her arm pain and a prominent decrease in the size of the left breast abscess. She was additionally given minocycline treatment. She was continued on both medications for 12 months. During that period she experienced no relapses. Chest imaging after cessation of medication demonstrated almost complete disappearance of the lung findings.

Nobody has to ride a motorcycle, so why do we do it?
Despite the icy rivulets of rain that sneak past a jacket collar or the sharp shrapnel splat of suicidal bugs, we spend our stationary hours planning, imagining, and anticipating time spent in motion. Few explain our collective excuses better, or paint a more vivid and varied picture of the paradoxical joys of riding than Lance Oliver, a man who has spent more time than most of us parsing the entertaining reality of life on two wheels.
By: Lance Oliver
Whether describing a laid-back, homeward-bound ramble along an Appalachian backroad, racing non-stop around Lake Erie on a tiny motorcycle barely capable of reaching the speed limit, or piloting a Kawasaki Ninja to 170 mph on the surrealistically smooth straightaway at Losail International Circuit in Qatar, Oliver's road stories and ruminations from the garage seek to uncover the essence of what makes motorcycling so much more than just a way to get from here to there. You will find yourself leaning your armchair into the turns, nodding in recognition, and saying to yourself, "Yes, that's it exactly!" as these unusual destinations inspire you to write your own adventures across the face of the earth.
About the Author
Lance Oliver took his first motorcycle rides on a humble Honda 50 step-through (see "The Most Important Motorcycle Ever Built") and has since ridden just about anything he has been able to get his hands on, whether fast ("Dream Riding in Boomtown") or slow ("Slow Way Around"), old ("Blind Date in Vermont") or new ("Dropping the Ducati"), from the familiar hills of his original West Virginia home ("Almost Heaven for Riding") to the mountains of his adopted second home of Puerto Rico ("Evolution Island").
Over the years, he has worked as a newspaper reporter and editor in New York, Florida and Puerto Rico; as a volunteer English teacher in rural Costa Rica; and as a magazine and website editor at the American Motorcyclist Association. He currently lives in the woodsy hills of Ohio with his wife, Ivonne, and a collection of formerly homeless animals, and works as a freelance writer and translator.

Thanks, expensive I would have to have a multi piece order to justify the cost. But one of those RPGs would look pretty cool hanging on my wall.

I think Blue and red guns are really your best bet if you aren't running a full scale full time production house. At about $30 - $50 each they are a bargain. I believe the production houses and some top end custom makers are using aluminum cast copies. These would obviously bone out better than plastic guns.
A shop press and pads of dense foam would work well to bone the holster without all the hand work. I've seen the setup in a few leather working articles.

Here is what I use for my holster making. I have purchased from each of these companies. Do not purchase from Botach Tactical ever!
Hope this helps.

Belive it or not, squirt guns. Keep an eye out in toy stores or just the big box places. I have a squirt gun (in orange) the correct dimentions for a glock, another (yellow) of a 1911A1 and a third that passes for a Colt Python (That one is red and yellow)but will work well for most .38/.357's.
As for tools I use to wet-mold a new holster, I wet the leather, work it with my hands around the mold while watching a movie. for more definiation, I use a wooden ice cream bar stick, and a piece of dowel rod I sharpened in a new pencil sharpener on both ends.

So the other night while we were putting Hayden to bed, Alfie (our dog) didn't want to go to bed with him.
This did not make Hayden happy (in general, Alfie isn't involved in this process and that's not a problem but this particular night, Hayden really wanted Alfie to help him go to bed).
So Hayden says, in all seriousness with this stern look on his face, "You better go get him momma." (note: Hayden has taken to calling me 'momma' lately as opposed to 'mommy'. Very interesting).
I just looked at him, as Randy attempted to hide his laughter by placing a book in front of his face.
I did not "go get him" and Hayden coped with that. It was all quite amusing though to say the least.

The South African judicial system is struggling to meet the country's need for increased access to justice due to problems in court administration and a lack of frequent and robust professional development training for justice sector personnel. Many South Africans do not believe that the judicial system will protect their civil liberties under the country's liberal constitution. Additionally South Africa suffers from high rates of gender-based violence which end up as a significant portion of cases brought before the non-specialized courts. In response, USAID programs help increase access to justice and integrated support services (medical, legal, and psychosocial counseling) for survivors of sexual assault through expansion of the Government of South Africa's (GoSA) Thuthuzela Care Center (TCC) network while also focusing on raising awareness amongst South Africa's citizenry about TCC services and prevention of gender based violence more broadly.
Under the Trilateral Assistance Program USAID is supporting GoSA efforts to assist African countries in addressing economic and social development needs. These small-scale initiatives are helping to consolidate peace in the targeted countries and solidify the GoSA's role as a leader on the continent. They also provide a means for the GoSA to enhance its capacity to deliver foreign assistance and improve inter- and intra-ministerial GoSA cooperation. The program provides a platform for the GoSA to enhance its capacity to promote and strengthen democratic norms, rule of law, good governance and human rights on the continent.

The First Marriage
is a large painting depicting a couple seen in profile. The man stands behind the woman who is seated, although there is no support beneath her. As in several of Hockney's painting made in the early 1960s, much of the canvas has been left in its natural state so that most of the background is empty. The figures drawn and painted onto it have a cartoon or child-like quality. The couple are in the centre of the image, both looking towards the left. Behind them, to the right, stands a primitive representation of a palm tree in the form of a tall white trunk tipped with violet and red fronds. It grows out of a narrow section of white ground on which strips and strokes of green represent grass. In the top right corner, concentric rings suggest the sun as well as making reference to contemporary abstract painting. The rings are echoed on the woman's earring, peeping out from behind her red and blue headdress or hair, as well as on her breasts. Hockney painted the male figure in modern dress in a simplified and semi-naturalistic, but also caricatured, way. While the upper half of his body, comprising his jacket and face, has a realistic appearance, his legs and feet are distorted in form and flat in colour. The female figure is also painted in a mixture of styles. Her face is a monotone red and her eye delineated as though viewed from the front in the manner of ancient Egyptian wall painting. Below the neck, her body disintegrates into raw canvas on which the contours of her seated frame and one arm have been sketched. Her breasts are pointing cup shapes bearing red concentric rings and stick-like nipples. A semi-transparent swathe of white descending from her head suggests a bridal veil. To the left of the couple, a grey pointed gothic arch shape is painted over an abstract area of colours. Hockney has said that he added this 'for its ecclesiastical connections with marriage' (quoted in David Hockney: Seven Paintings, [p.3]).
Hockney graduated from the Royal College of Art, London in the summer of 1962. The First Marriage was painted in September after a trip to Germany made with an American friend. On a visit to the Pergamon Museum in (East) Berlin, Hockney saw his friend standing in profile at the end of a corridor, next to an ancient Egyptian seated wooden figure. He explained: 'from the distance they looked like a couple, posing as it were for a wedding photograph' (letter to the Tate Gallery, 15th August 1963). He was interested in the idea of a 'marriage' between these two people, ancient and modern, real and unreal and the accompanying idea of a 'marriage of styles'. Hockney has acknowledged the influence of French artist Jean Dubuffet (1901-85) on his graffiti-like pictures of the early 1960s, saying 'it was his style of doing images, the kind of childish drawings he used that attracted me' (quoted in David Hockney: Seven Paintings, [p.2]). In 1960 he had begun a series of four numbered 'Love' paintings, in which he combined painted text with semi-abstract images. These parodied the prevailing fashion, adopted by such British painters as John Hoyland (born 1934), for titling abstract paintings with numbers only. In The Second Marriage 1963 (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne) Hockney developed the theme of The First Marriage, becoming more involved with perspective and pictorial space.

A Memo on the Falsification of Employment Applications: An Arbitral Perspective
Bernard Dobranski
Ave Maria School of Law
Chicago-Kent Law Review, Vol. 59, No. 2, 1983
Falsification of employment applications has become a major concern of both white and blue collar employers. Arbitrations resolving falsification discharges provide standards applicable to both employment sectors. This memo will examine the standards established by arbitrators in such cases and categorize several pertinent decisions made by arbitrators in recent years.
In making such decisions, arbitrators must carefully consider the employer's right to full, honest disclosure of all information related to making an employment determination. Given that falsification does occur,' arbitrators must also consider the employee's right to retain his employee status following a falsification unrelated to the employee's responsibilities or job performance.

Are you looking for a way to provide financial support for public works history programs and have it count as a tax deductible charitable contribution? Now there is an opportunity to do so.
The APWA Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Public Works Historical Society Endowment Fund. This is the first application of an endowment fund by APWA. Contributions will qualify as a charitable deduction for the donor, subject to IRS regulations because APWA is a 501(c)(3) organization.
The idea for an endowment came from Bob Esterbrooks, a past president of the PWHS. The endowment fund is a way to permanently fund some history programs, primarily awards that honor outstanding public works history makers, such as Abel Wolman and Michael Robinson. Only the interest earnings from the endowment will be spent. The funds may also be used for future awards programs and specific events and projects as approved by the PWHS Board of Trustees.
The Society has targeted an endowment of $30,000 but has set an interim goal of $15,000 to be raised by December of 2001. In support of the endowment concept, Esterbrooks has pledged $5,000 toward the goal. Another pledge of $2,500 has been made, taking the Fund one-fourth of the way toward the targeted amount.
Donations will be sought from APWA Chapters, Historical Society members and supporters, public works leaders, historians, industry, and the general membership. A brochure explaining the endowment fund and soliciting donations was mailed in early May.
"We're looking for support from all who have an interest in public works history and wish to see the Society's programs strengthened and assured," said Esterbrooks.

Jennie Wade House
Posted in Somewhere other than a cemetery, tagged battle of gettysburg, cenotaphs, civil war, gettysburg, history, pennsylvania on March 2, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
As a follow-up to the previous post, these are photos of the Jennie Wade House, which of course was never known by that name during her life. Jennie was born and lived elsewhere, but she died in this house during the Battle of Gettysburg, and so it is the place most associated with her.
Jenny Wade Birthplace
Posted in Somewhere other than a cemetery, tagged battle of gettysburg, cause of death, cenotophs, civil war, gettysburg, pennsylvania on March 1, 2013 | 1 Comment »
In the old section of Gettysburg, a house that doesn't have a historical plaque or marker on it is in the minority. Any house that stood at the time of the battle bears a plaque stating that fact, like the top plaque on this house.
However, this house is also the birthplace of Mary Virginia Wade, the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. Twenty-year-old Ginnie Wade was staying with her sister, the Georgia Wade McClellan who unveiled the plaque. McClellan had just given birth when the sleepy little crossroads of Gettysburg was overrun by soldiers, and the family found themselves in the middle of the battle lines as the armies skirmished. Ginnie was kneading bread for baking when a bullet traveled through the door of the house and struck her in the back, killing her. Ginnie Wade's sudden, tragic death brought her a fame she never could have expected in life, and Gettysburg now plays host to three tourist attractions associated with her: her grave in Evergreen Cemetery, the Jennie Wade House (her sister's house where she was killed), and the Jennie Wade birthplace (a tasting room for Reid's Winery).
Eternal Peace Light

The Eternal Peace Light Memorial overlooks the scene of the early fighting of the Battle of Gettysburg, atop Oak Hill. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicated the monument in 1938 as part of the final Blue and Gray reunion on the 75th anniversary of the battle. In attendance were approximately 1,800 remaining veterans of the Union and Confederate armies, the youngest of whom was 88 years old. Built on northern and southern donations, the memorial is topped with an eternal flame. You can hear Roosevelt's remarks and view photos from the event here.
It's also the subject of one of the earliest photos I ever took with my own camera that was worth keeping.

I found two particularly interesting names when I visited Big Spring Presbyterian Cemetery. The first one, Abbidora, I can't find anything about online. Now, not everything is on the internet (gasp!) but when I did a Google search for the name, the only Abbidora I found was…this one, on a cemetery transcription project website. I'm guessing that it's probably a compound name made from two more common names, but that's just an assumption.
Fleeta is also an unusual name where I live, but not nearly so obscure. All the baby names websites that track name popularity in history showed that "Fleeta" appeared on the top 1000 baby names in the United States in the 1890s. (Not high up in the top 1000, mind you – it was definitely towards the bottom.) With it being less popular, none of them I checked even attempted to provide a meaning.

I haven't posted photos of sarcophagi in a while. Sarcophagus tombs in most modern cemeteries just look like they hold a body. The actual person is usually interred below or next to the monument.

There aren't a lot of crosses in Gettysburg National Military Park. The 142nd Pennsylvania has this rough-hewn, rugged cross.

The Digital Continuity Framework is launched in partnership with Buying Solutions, the national procurement partner for UK public services. It has made available a list of suppliers to help manage digital information risks during systems migrations such as moving to the cloud or shared services.
All prices and terms have been negotiated with 24 suppliers to present the best possible value for money for public sector bodies, said Jessie Owen, head of digital continuity at The National Archives.
"The public sector has a duty to operate transparently, legally and accountably. It can't do that without usable information - and keeping information usable is much more of a challenge in this digital age," she said.
Guidance to help public sector bodies understand and manage information assets and technical environments has also been made available under the framework.
The framework will initially run for two years, with the possibility of a two year extension. The supplier procurement process began in March 2010.
