The Sun Fire T2000 and T1000 use the UltraSparc T1 processor, code-named Niagara, a radical processor design that Sun hopes will turn around the Sparc family's market share losses. The Niagara systems are the second half of a server overhaul that began three months ago when Sun introduced its "Galaxy" line of x86 servers.
The 3.5-inch-thick T2000 is available now with a minimum price of $7,795 and a maximum of $25,995. The T1000, half as thick but lacking the T2000's redundant components, will arrive in the first quarter of 2006 with prices ranging from $2,995 to $10,995.
What's new:
Sun Microsystems released Sun Fire T2000 and T1000 servers, which use the UltraSparc T1 processor, code-named Niagara.
Bottom line:
The releases are the second part of the company's effort to restore its ailing server fortunes by catering to its core customers.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company initially expected the systems to be used for lower-end Web-oriented tasks such as delivering Web pages. But the company gradually grew more ambitious, concluding that the T1-based machines also are good for running Java server software, mid-range databases, e-mail server software such as IBM's Lotus Notes and SAP's accounting and inventory software.
"We believe this is the finishing up of the reinvention of the product line," said Chief Marketing Officer Anil Gadre. "I believe Niagara will instill vast amount of new confidence in the direction of Sparc long-term."
Sun needs that confidence. Tarnished by delays and lackluster performance at the same time the dot-com implosion wiped out Sun's cachet, the Sparc line suffered at the hands of Power processors from IBM and x86 processors from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
In the third quarter of 2005, Sun's server revenue slipped 7.6 percent to $1.05 billion, while IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Dell all saw gains that outpaced the overall market growth of 5.6 percent. And though Sun prefers to emphasize unit shipments--a number that corresponds more directly with another part of Sun's recovery play, potential software sales--there, too, it lagged its top three rivals and the overall market.
Sun talked long and hard about Niagara years before its introduction. In the words of Karl Freund, vice president marketing for IBM's successful pSeries Unix server line, "When don't have great product, you'd better sell futures."
But now Sun also is revealing some performance scores as well as grand plans. The results are creditable, said Gabriel Consulting analyst Dan Olds.
Taking the 'Niagara' plunge
At a press event in New York, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy and Sun Executive Vice President David Yen unveil the Sun Fire T2000 and T1000 servers.
"These are pretty good benchmark numbers and certainly seem to put Sun back on the performance short list," Olds said.
And Sun has future Sparc plans. First will come Niagara blade servers, models that will share the same chassis as models using Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron x86 processor, said David Yen, executive vice president of the Sparc server group. The Niagara blade servers are due in the summer of 2006, he said.
Then, likely in 2007, will come Niagara II, built using a more advanced manufacturing process that permits smaller circuitry and therefore more features. One major feature will be multiprocessor support, so that unlike with the first generation more than one Niagara chip will fit into a server.
Then, in 2008, Sun expects to release servers with a chip code-named Rock, which is designed to have both the many cores and threads of Niagara but also fast single-thread performance.
With Niagara and Galaxy, Sun has bet that the high-volume, low-cost sales approach will pay off. "Obviously, they have to sell lots of systems of this size to pay back what has to be a considerably larger R&D investment than they have even with Galaxy," said Illuminata analyst Gordon Haff.
And selling low-cost products geared for high-volume markets can be hard on profit margins, said Merrill Lynch analyst Richard Farmer in a Monday report. "The continued trend towards the low end could pressure margins, though Sun has held or expanded margins during a similar mix shift in recent quarters," he said.
Now the race is on to see which of Sun's two new server lines fares better as Sun tries to regain its footing. "He (Yen) has got a new-age processor going into a hungry, installed base. I've got a great x86 system that can run any operating system," said John Fowler, head of Sun's x86 server group.
There's no competition between the two executives, though. "We don't have any friendly wagers," Fowler said, adding that it's "not a bad idea, though."
Three factors figure prominently in Sun's attempt to tout Niagara: relatively low power consumption, an ability to perform many tasks in parallel, and a price tag designed to compete with cheap x86 servers as well as lower-end Unix machines from IBM and HP.
"We are pricing our systems very, very competitively, even compared with the x86 standard," Yen said.
Each UltraSparc T1 has eight processing engines, called cores, and can run 32 simultaneous instruction sequences, called threads. The entire chip consumes a maximum of 72 watts, considerably less than .

10 million Samsung Galaxy S4 units sold; new colors coming
0. phoneArena 22 May 2013, 22:50 posted on
After launching globally on April 27th, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has now surpassed 10 million units sold in less than one full month, according to Samsung; this sets a record for a Samsung handset, for the quickest time to 10 million units sold. The Galaxy S4's predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S III, took 50 days to accomplish the same thing...

yes because we have never seen iphones being shipped with light leaks around the displays and yellow tinge when it should be white because of glue being improperly cured before being shipped to customers! note my extreme sarcasm here, everybody has issues with every launch, nobody is perfect even samsung and apple.

A lot or people choose brown tan wallets, bags and other accessories... it makes sense to bring out a leather-coloured variant. However, I'll pass judgement on its looks when it comes out .

For all those complaining about the galaxy phones made of plastic and not being premium, well the galaxy s4 actually has gorilla glass 3 while htc one has gorilla glass 2... another thing is on my galaxy s4 i bought a high quality aluminium battery cover for only $15 on ebay, now the front is gorilla glass 3 and the back is allumimum what else do i want? also i can easily change the back if it scratches unlike htc... samsungs the best and fk the rest
only octa core phone in the world!!! they listen to customers!!! fastest software updates!!!! top not batteries!!!! best displays!!! smoothest interface compared to laggy sony htc and lg etc... speacial and oh sooo helpful touchwiz features!!! load speakers even compared to htc one which isnt load just clear... endless features!!!

First of all, touchwiz does lag because of the useless bloatware that is infested within it . . . secondly, gorilla glass shatter easily(no matter what the gen is) unlike sony's shatterproof glass or asashi's dragon trail glass. . . thirdly, the octacore doesn't work simultaneously, it works more like a dual quadcore . . . fourthly, htc one's speaker is far more better than samsung's( there's also nokia's 925 if you want to compare more) . . . lastly s4 will only fell premuim if you buy a cover for it. . .
19. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
very true... octo-core is really just the same as normal quadcores...
but idk why those samsung fanboys doesnt get how those octo-cores work... they think all the 8 CPUs work together...

What are you talking about? The Exynos has 5 range of Cpus, which are:E5410 entry level, E5420 standard, E5430 above standard, E5440 performance, and finally E5450 which runs at 3.0Ghz. So it's either on par with Baytrail, or faster!

Well I haven't of much phones using sapphire screens, only those ridiculous Vertu phones, but thats because they cost too much, so maybe dragon trail glass costs more than gorilla glass 2/3, which is why not much phones have it yet.
100. Kurai (unregistered)
Xperia active used dragon trail . . . they run over wrangler jeep on it and even dropped a sledge hammer on it . . not even a scratch on the glass . . .

Sony use a scratch-magnet plastic film to prevent the glass from shattering. Remove the film and see what happens.
There's also a guy, andrianisen, who smashed the XZ's screen using a plastic toilet brush. lol

Adding an aluminium back cover and retaining the awful patterned front face doesn't improve the design, it just makes it more inconsistent and clownish. Learn something about design. The interface looks also still quite cheap. The GS4 may be the best in most aspects but still very hard to like and spend my hard earned money on...
55. SonyFindOneDroidple (Posts: 793; Member since: 11 May 2013)
I am an artist and always leaning towards simplicity.. Stunning is what gs4 is. Large screen with less bezels without unnecessary add-ons. Htc One is beautiful screen-off but screen-on, the fat bezels dwarfing the small screen stood awfully. Xperia ZL, Optimis G Pro, AND gs4 are the most beautiful devices for me..
74. samsung4ever (Posts: 36; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
hi there, i always loved design and done many art coarses, and yes thats exaclty what i love abour the s4!! less bezel!!! and i love the slight pattern on the front on the bezels, not over the top just balanced and its a symetrical looking phone which really attracts the eye unlike the htc one!!! thanks sonyfindonedroidple :)

Your art does indeed sound "coarse." An aluminum battery cover on an S4 sounds like putting an evening gown on a hooker.

You have to buy external accessories to make your phone look/feel good? I doubt the One will scratch very easily, a few reviewers that have used the phone daily for a while said it's held up very well; in the same time frame that they used the One, the iPhone 5 was practically ruined.
Octa core is a HUGE misunderstanding intentionally made by Samsung to sell more units. Everyone has gone over this countless times; ONLY FOUR CORES ARE ACTIVE AT A TIME. All eight cores are NEVER ON AT ONCE. But of course, you didn't listen to those explanations (ignorance is bliss I guess) or just were coincidentally not around when anyone ever explained it, in which case, you shouldn't be flaunting and talking about what you have no clue about.
They listen to customers? For the past year or so countless people have been asking them to make a high quality device made with something other than glossy, flimsy, and cheap polycarbonate; it's probably the biggest problem Samsung faces right now. Where is it?
Fastest updates?
That article says otherwise.
Top notch* batteries? My old GS2 had its battery worn out to the point where it lasted only half as long as it used to, within only a year of me having it. Meanwhile, my old MyTouch 4G and Sensation have held up with their battery life so far; I used the MyTouch when my S2's screen shattered and it served me well, and I gave my Sensation to my younger cousin and she hasn't complained about battery life at all.
Display quality is based on opinion really, I prefer S-LCD over S-AMOLED personally since I use my phone outside a lot, and LCD typically produces more light.
Smoothest interface? That's laughable. There are so many complaints about the GS4 being laggy and stuttering all over the interface, while the HTC One, Xperia Z, and Optimus G Pro all run without any stutter, even though the GS4's CPU and GPU are overclocked by a decent margin, and it uses DDR3 memory. Samsung just got over zealous with their half baked features and didn't bother to optimize anything, so that frequency bump and faster memory don't do anything for it.
The HTC One has THE loudest speakers I have ever heard on a smartphone. Not only is it loud, but it is also very clear, and the distance between the speakers are perfect to get true stereo sound. You can't even really compare it to anything else on a phone, because it's just unfair to the other.
You mean the Touchwiz features that you barely use half of? And the majority of that other half only works in perfect conditions, otherwise they're useless? Yup, those are just "oh sooo helpful!"
I spent WAY too much time typing this whole thing out. I'm going to bed.
63. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
How long did it take you to write this?! I love how you take soooo much time just to hate a multinational company who has sold the fastest ever selling phone.....carry on trying to change people's minds....hey you may change one or two but there is 10million who would disagree....would you like me to write an essay on why the S4 is epic?!
71. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It wasn't too much time, probably 30 minutes tops, closer to 20, but still way too much time for me to argue. It didn't seem like much time while I was typing because I practically write essays for a living.
You're pulling out the sales argument, like so many others. Go ahead and say that, because with that logic you're saying the iPhone is the best phone because it's the best selling phone, which is not true at all. It's all about marketing; without marketing, Samsung and Apple would be nothing.
I've already shot down pretty much every reason why the GS4 might be considered epic, so coming up with a rebuttal is pretty much useless. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a blind hater. I respect Samsung and their products, but there's nothing about them worth praising like a lot of people on this site do; the GS3 was worth the praise it got, but the GS4? Not even close.

Everything I said was correct and effectively shot down any point you had. So, I don't think you could classify it as "junk."
It didn't take too long for me to type, I write essays for hours almost every day, it's natural for me at this point.
There are only a handful of times where I've lost an argument. This is not one of those times.

I actually enjoy writing essays, because I know it's making me better at my work and shows my knowledge, something you seem to be lacking.

Jealous? No. A lot of people on the internet claim to be rich and successful, and flaunt it around when really they're some 12 year old kid on their mom's computer; and from how you're typing I have no reason to believe you're not one of those kids. You would think someone in their early 30's would at least know how to set up sentences correctly.
If what you say is true, good for you, you've earned it. There's no need to flaunt it around like you're better than everyone else though, learn something about humility.

Or just a 15 year-old kid who got to his older brother's computer. Show some respect toward the others because nobody insulted you. Ad hominem, that's what I've got to say about your attitude and the way you carry on a discussion.

I call BS on the battery life on the MyTouch and Sensation. The Sensation had the worst battery life I've ever used and the MyTouch barely gots 3 hours.
141. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I never said the battery was good, I said it held up. I get the same amount of battery life on them now as I did when I first got them, whereas my GS2 was degraded by nearly 50% within a year and needed a replacement. I was talking about battery consistency, not the initial longevity.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Rialto Venezia Venice
Fantastic location, and with the bedrooms, you get what you pay for. We had room 409 which was lovely, it was a Junior Suite overlooking the grand canal and practically on top of the rialto bridge (just close the shutters at night and you won't hear a thing). The breakfast was nice and the staff were very helpful. I'd definitely stay here again.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We only stayed here one night, great location, right beside the famous Rialto bridge. Their Panoramic Terrance was a great plus, Sunsets to your left, the Rialto to your right. Our room was small but had everything we needed. They were kind enough to hold our luggage for us while we toured the city the second day, check out is at 12, but our train did not leave until 8, it was exactly where we left it when we returned. I would definitely recommend.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Rialto Venezia Venice
Absolute worst hotel I have ever stayed at!
Please don't waste your money or ruin your trip to Venice by staying at this hotel. My room at The Rialto was filthy at best... the cloth covered headboard on the bed was stained with grease and dirt, the walls (also cloth covered) were very dirty, and the room had a general odor of sewage. The room's furnishings were so disgusting I was afraid to let even the outside of my luggage touch anything. Overall the room was dismal, I was actually scared to sleep there. If all you are interested in is the excellent view this hotel provides you may want to consider sleeping on the sidewalk out front.... it's cleaner and probably has more to offer !
Best location in Venice
March 2004 I can not imagine staying anywhere except the Hotel Rialto in Venice. The staff was very friendly and our room was large with a sette and a Venitian chandlier. (Our room was the one in front with the balcony and the flags.) The view was spectacular even at night. We got a great price through the internet and we would highly recomend it for anyone going to Venice.
Very central location
This was an ideal location for first-time visitors like ourselves - more or less in the centre of Venice. If however, you are arriving by water bus from the airport, this may be a bit of a trek from St Marks' with your luggage. Would advise getting a bus from the airport to the Piazalle Roma, and then the water bus down the Grand Canal to the Rialto Bridge. The room was larger than I had anticipated, and I had been lead to believe that the bathroom would be without a bath, but I was pleasantly surpised. One downside was the ludicrous amount of stairs we had to climb on the way to our room (up in the rafters). By the end of our stay my buns and calves were very finely tuned.
Nevertheless it didn't ruin our stay and I would happily recommend it to all.
Highly recommend Hotel Rialto!
This was our first trip to Italy, and Hotel Rialto did not disappoint! First, the location and ease of arrival were hard to beat in Venice. As another reviewer stated, train to Santa Lucia (do not get off on the first Venice (Mestre) stop like most tourists on our train did, us included..) Vaporetto to Rialto bridge, and walk about the width of a sidewalk in the front doors of the hotel! Above average, very classy hotel, nice decor, immaculately clean. Hotel staff were professional, friendly, English speaking, and were very helpful to me when I had problems with my bank back home. Internet service in lobby for small fee, and they were able to fax something to my bank for me.
We had a wonderfully large quad room for my husband and I and our 2 boys, 12 and 17. Had king bed and 2 twins, with sm. couch, chairs, desk, vanity, tv, walk in closet. Bathroom was normal sized, nice tile. Decor in room was very 'Venetian" , but that was part of the fun!
We had two windows that opened onto the Grand Canal/Rialto Bridge view.
Was a bit of noise from the vaporetto stop out front (when we were
enjoying the view and ambience with the windows open) but okay when
windows and shutters closed.
Good central location, able to walk easily to St. Marks, Academy, etc. The included breakfast buffet was not the best of all the hotels we stayed in, but was adequate, had bakery goods, cereal, hard boiled eggs, coffee, juices, etc.
As we were walking around the city and seeing people walking through the tiny streets, up and over the many canal bridges with their luggage, we especially appreciated the ease of stepping off the vaporetto and into the hotel lobby, and up the elevator to our room! Another plus is that when we got lost walking, or were unsure, there would frequently be signs for the Rialto bridge, or we could ask anyone 'which way to Rialto bridge'- everyone in Venice knows where that is, so we could always find our way back....
Again, would highly recommend this hotel for its physical qualities, location, and staff. Ciao!
Great Location!
We went to Italy for our honeymoon at the end of September 2003. Our first stop was Venice and we stayed at the Hotel Rialto. It is in a great location, nice, clean rooms, friendly staff. We had a fantastic view of the Rialto bridge and the canal. It was absolutely beautiful!
Nothing negative to report here...
Location at a very reasonable price
I chose this hotel for it's location....Venice in winter can be cold, wet and miserable, and arriving at night with luggage and trying to find your hotel can be a frustrating experience. The Hotel Rialto did not disappoint - off the train and onto vaparetto 82 which stops about 50 meters from the front door of the Hotel. The Hotel itself was also good value at 100 Euros/night during low season. Bathrooms are a bit small, but the rooms are clean and nicely furnished. I would stay there again.
It's a Good Choice
If you're looking for a Venice hotel that is centrally located and convenient with transportation, Hotel Rialto is among the better choices. It is by no means a lavish facility, yet its assets outweigh its liabilities.First the liabilities, one of which might be that the bathrooms are quite small and basic. But what one must keep in mind is that most hotels in Venice have been carved out of buildings that have been there for centuries; there is no place to add space without completely gutting the interior. But at least our room (minus the bathroom) was spacious and well decorated. Our sons stayed in their own room, which was almost as spacious and adorned in its own genre, thus indicating the variety of themes from room to room.One might also say that another mark against Hotel Rialto is that, although it is a waterfront hotel (a must for any tourist in Venice!), there are stations for taxis and waterbuses between the hotel and the water. But, of course, the optimist would see this as a convenience in transportation. And a convenience it is as, upon our arrival, we stepped off the boat right in front of the hotel! There also exists another very nice plus because of this boat-stop area: One of the water taxis will take you straight to the island of Murano, where the glass factories and shops are located. Hotel Rialto has a deal worked out with these taxis, thereby offering this free transportation. Note: this deal includes a ride to the island only, not from.Its assets are aplenty.First, location, location, location! Its front door is quite literally ten steps away from the Rialto Bridge, the subject of many a photographer and artist. If your room, like ours, is located on the front thus overlooking the canal, you can lean out the window and easily take a snapshot of your friends standing on the bridge (forever a great conversation piece complete with bragging rights!).As well, it is on the Grand Canal, which is very open and picturesque. Shops and restaurants are all around as well as street vendors and a small daytime flea market right around the corner.Also, don't forget to take out a few minutes each day to enjoy their private terrace that overlooks the Grand Canal. The terrace is accessible to HR guests only and, chances are, you may be the only one up there enjoying it for as much as thirty minutes at a time.A fifteen-minute stroll through the charming walkways of this historic city takes you straight to San Marcos Plaza, which most agree is the centerpiece of town.Finally, at the risk of sounding snobbishly American, English is spoken quite well by much of the staff, especially at the front desk. Please know that our family learned as much Italian as we could for this vacation, mostly for our own benefit, but also to avoid the appearance of cultural arrogance. But being able to communicate in our native tongue did make things easier.To summarize, if one asked me which hotel is economically the best for a tourist in Venice, I would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Rialto. It was my third visit there, not making me a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but no beginner either. And this was by far the best of all three hotels I have experienced in this ancient city.
Wet 4 days
We chose the Rialto for its central location and central it was! We had an excellent room overlooking the Grand Canal on the first floor, italianate in decor. It was a little noisy from the street in the early morning but then that added to the atmosphere! The breakfasts could have been much better. The worst of the April stay was the weather.......two and a half solid days of rain with a sunny first afternoon and sunny departure evening on day 4!

—The injection of a substance into the amniotic cavity to terminate pregnancy is, of course, not new. In 1935, Boero (1936 Year Book of Obstetrics and Gynecology, p 53) advocated the injection of 40% formalin for interrupting pregnancy before fetal viability. In 1954, Stamm and De Watteville (1954-55 Year Book of Obstetrics and Gynecology, p 36) reported on the use of the Aburel method of interrupting gestation by withdrawing 100 cc of amniotic fluid and replacing it with an equal quantity of hypertonic saline solution. In 1958, Brosset (1959-60 Year Book of Obstetrics and Gynecology, p 61) recommended 50% glucose for induction of abortion and emptying of the uterus in cases of missed abortion. In 1960, Svane (1961-62 Year Book of Obstetrics and Gynecology, p 55) claimed good results from instilling saline extra-ovularly into the uterus by way of the cervical canal for interrupting pregnancy.

Featured Golf News
Wisp Resort in Maryland to Unveil Course Enhancements
Wisp Resort in the Deep Creek Lake area in McHenry, Md., plans a June 2008 unveiling of its remodeled golf course. The enhancements were overseen by Todd Schoeder of Denver-based Design Workshop, with construction management services by Scottsdale-based OB Sports Golf Management.
Schoeder says the upgrades are a throwback to the Classic-design era when architects such as George C. Thomas and Allister Mackenzie designed some of storied layouts that still test the game's best players.
Wisp will unveil four new golf holes and a totally revamped routing. The new routing is a continuous 18-hole loop as part of the "core golf" experience (the residential component lies outside the playing corridors). As for the new holes, original hole Nos. 4-7 will be taken out of play in June when the four new holes will open. Since the new holes were routed on additional acreage, 18 holes of the golf have remained open to public and resort play throughout the reconstruction.
"We tried to bring the character of the existing course to the new holes," said Schoeder. "The original golf holes at Wisp had a 'classic feel' with abrupt shapes, shallow bunker designs and simpler features that hark to an older school of design. Even though the course was built in the '70s, it had design elements that created a feeling of a course that was built in the 1920's.
"Although the new holes were designed in a way to match the style and character of the original design, they were 'modernized' somewhat to provide even more interest and strategy from tee to green," he continued. "It's not about length, it is about strategy. It's about creating an interesting journey from tee to green . . . providing more strategic options off the tee and providing alternate approaches into green complexes. It's about using shot options to 'defend par' versus just simply using length."
Another element used commonly in the Classic era of golf design (and at Wisp Resort) was the use of green undulations to create challenge and intrigue. "Wisp has some very 'old school,' very interesting, undulating greens, that are certain to test the putting prowess of golfing guests," added Schoeder.
Schoeder was able to incorporate an old spring house on the new 10th hole. The structure was a shelter built decades ago that protected a naturally occurring headwater from a spring - one that still flows today. On the 10th golfers may face tough putts as the 10th green sits on a site that once housed a barn rumored to be haunted.
About Wisp Resort
Located just two hours from Pittsburgh and three hours from Baltimore and Washington D.C, Wisp Resort is Maryland's only four-season destination resort. Golfing guests enjoy the 6,700, par-71 Wisp Resort Course ranked as one of the "100 Must-Play Courses of the Mid-Atlantic" by GolfStyles Magazine. After golf, guests can retreat to the Wisp Resort Hotel & Conference Center, a smoke-free property with 102 suites and 67 guest rooms. Other outdoor activities include skiing, snowboarding, fly fishing, boating, tennis, a fitness center, spa, hiking, mountain coaster and kayaking.

Compromise NM bill on gun checks clears 1st hurdle
A compromise bill on background checks for gun purchasers is now advancing in the New Mexico Legislature after initially being stalled.
The bill approved by the House Judiciary Committee would require background checks for people buying guns at gun shows.
That deletes the bill's original requirement to also require background checks for people buying guns in private transactions apart from gun shows.
Currently, only people buying guns from licensed dealers must undergo background checks, regardless of the setting for those purchases.
The bill passed the initial committee with bipartisan support on a 13-3 vote Friday night.
The bill now must clear the House Appropriations and Finance Committee to reach the full House.

Watson backs 'helmet cam' for ODIs, Tests
Submitted by Keval Sharma on Wed, 12/12/2012 - 09:31
Sydney, Dec 12 : Shane Watson, who became the first batsman in the world to wear a camera in his helmet, is a brazen fan of the latest innovative technology and believes it could be used in one-day international or Test cricket in the future.
Watson said he was enthralled by the experience during the Brisbane Heat''s Big Bash game at the Gabba last Sunday.
The helmet camera gave viewers an eagle-eye view of what it feels like for batsmen to have 145km/h thunderbolts coming directly at them.
Watson said the innovation could be taken to the next level, claiming it was less disturbing than the floating aerial `Spidercam' used during Tests this summer.
"During a Test, Spidercam can move around a lot and you can feel it around you.
But the helmet cam, you are not feeling it at all. It is just absolutely normal," News. com. au quoted Watson, as saying to an Australian newspaper.
"I know Spidercam gives you amazing pictures, but with a camera on your helmet you are getting a pretty good bird''s eye view of what is coming at you," he added.
"With one-dayers and Test matches you would have to be a bit more careful with how you use it, but in the end I didn''t feel it was there at all when I wore it," he said.
Watson added: "The reason why we are here is to try to provide entertainment for people who are at the ground but also the people who are at home watching the coverage." (ANI)

More on Scrap Metal Buyers
What Can You Expect To Make? There are many places that follow their own line of pricing per ton, but there are some that will adjust with the going rate of scrap metal. Local scrap metal buyers can change the prices from a few dollars a ton to hundreds in as little as a month. You have to keep up on these trends with your local scrap metal buyer so that you are not surprised with what they give you when you go in to drop off a load. Many people that haul metal, will wait until the prices are high before they take in much of what they have. Scrap metal hauling is one of the easiest jobs to do to make a little money on the side. You just need to have those few simple things and not be afraid to get your hands dirty. Local scrap metal buyers are everywhere, so its very easy to get the money that you want by just picking up metal and taking it in to the local scrap metal buyers. Remember that the money does fluctuate so keep your day job if you can as well.

To determine the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in children aged 1 to 3 years in an urban population.
Venous blood was measured for levels of hemoglobin, ferritin, free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, and lead in children seen for well-child visits. Children with histories of chronic illness, prematurity, blood dyscrasias, and acute illness were excluded.
The private practice offices of 4 pediatricians in the New York City area.
A consecutive sample of 504 children aged 1 to 3 years was included.
More than one third (35%) of the children demonstrated evidence of iron insufficiency; 7% were iron deficient without anemia, and 10% had iron deficiency anemia.
Because the association of iron deficiency anemia with mental and psychomotor impairment during the first 2 years of life no longer seems to be in doubt, the high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia found in the 1- to 2-year-old children in this study is disturbing. This suggests the need for greater efforts at the prevention of iron deficiency during the second year of life.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1997;151:986-988

INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck and the Colts ruined Peyton Manning's return to Indianapolis and handed the Denver Broncos their first loss of the season.
Luck, who replaced Manning as quarterback of the Colts, threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score and didn't even need a fourth-quarter comeback to end Denver's 17-game regular-season streak with a 39-33 victory Sunday night.
While Luck was terrific in prime time, completing 21 of 38 passes, his predecessor was not himself. Manning finished 29 of 49 for 386 yards with three touchdowns, one interception and was sacked four times, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs as the NFL's only unbeaten team.
Passes sailed high, passes fluttered and the man who usually escapes trouble with his quick thinking and quick release was sacked twice and lost a fumble near the goal line. Robert Mathis, one of the few holdovers from the Manning Era, got one of his trademark strip sacks in the second quarter — a mistake that led to nine points for Indianapolis (5-2).
"This is a game we need to learn from," Manning said. "We, I guess, had four turnovers and still somehow had a chance to win that game. I certainly would have liked to have seen it go to a 2-point game down at the end, but we never got there. We certainly have to improve because we weren't as sharp execution-wise as we would like to be."
The offense that was on a record scoring pace and seemed virtually unstoppable over the first six weeks managed only two first-half touchdowns and opened the third quarter with three straight three-and-outs.
Kick returner Trindon Holliday twice fumbled the ball, with one leading to an Indianapolis touchdown, and the defense of the Broncos (6-1) that spent nearly three-fourths of the season playing with the lead came unglued in the third quarter with penalty after penalty aiding Colts drives.
It was not the evening Manning had planned after making the long journey back to Lucas Oil Stadium, the retractable-roof house he helped build by turning the Colts from an afterthought into a perennial powerhouse.
But then this was no typical game.
The weekend's marquee matchup was the NFL's most anticipated homecoming since Brett Favre went back to Green Bay — with the dreaded Minnesota Vikings — in 2009.
Manning, long a fan favorite in Indianapolis, had hoped to join Favre as the only quarterbacks to beat all 32 NFL teams and he received a warm welcome.
When Manning first ran onto the field, some sections in the lower bowl looked like a checkerboard of Colts blue and Broncos orange. They roared for No. 18 throughout a 90-second video tribute featuring some of his most memorable moments with the Colts including the record-breaking pass to Marvin Harrison for most TDs by a quarterback-receiver duo, the AFC championship comeback against New England and, of course, the evening when he finally hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in rainy Miami.
It was a far cry from this week's big controversy spurred by the recent comments by Colts owner Jim Irsay saying he regretted the Colts won only one Super Bowl under Manning.
Manning responded to the standing ovation by stopping his warm-up throws, taking off his helmet, waving to the fans and mouthing the words "Thank you."
The large video screen then cut to a fan holding a sign that that read "Thanks Peyton But Tonight I'm A Colts Fan."
"I hope we get a chance to play these guys and maybe if there is a next time, it might be a little easier because it certainly was an emotionally draining week, there's no doubt about that," Manning said.
Indianapolis took advantage of Holliday's fumbled punt return, Mathis' sack that resulted in a safety and a 20-yard TD pass from Luck to Stanley Havili on the ensuing drive to take a 26-14 lead.
"That's my job, that's how I help my team," Mathis said. "It felt good."
Luck padded the lead with a 10-yard scramble for a score in the third quarter to make 33-14.
Then Manning tried to work his old magic in his old stomping grounds. After the teams traded field goals, he threw a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas early in the fourth to make it 36-23 and the Broncos got within 36-30 on Knowshon Moreno's 1-yard TD run after the Colts lost a fumble.
But Manning's lone interception with 6:59 to go set up Adam Vinatieri with the sealing field goal.
Indianapolis, which lost Monday night at San Diego, has not dropped two straight since Luck arrived.
The game could prove costly for both teams.
Denver cornerback Champ Bailey left in the second quarter with a left foot injury, the same foot that kept him out of the first five games this season.
Indy lost Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne in the fourth quarter with what team officials called a sprained right knee.

Scio resident confronts intruder
A Scio Township man investigating a power outage at his home told police he was surprised by an intruder early Wednesday.
The 65-year-old man awoke shortly after 4 a.m. to a beeping noise coming from inside his home in the 3900 block of Prospect Court and realized the power was out, said Washtenaw County Sheriff's Cmdr. Dave Egeler.
The man went downstairs with a flashlight and confronted a man wearing a heavy parka and boots. The intruder ran out a sliding glass door.
A police tracking dog searched the area but could not locate the intruder.

1. Avian Veterinarian Birds are very different in anatomy and physiology to dogs and cats, and to specialize in their treatment, a veterinary student must seek out coursework and residencies that are beyond the scope of a standard veterinary school.
Avian veterinarians, like any other veterinarians, attend veterinary school at any of the certified Veterinary colleges. After they obtain their DVM, they go on to specialize in the care of birds. This specialization takes from one to three years.
Avian veterinarians may choose to become members of the Association of Avian Veterinarians for additional education opportunities including a journal and an annual conference. An avian veterinarian can pursue additional testing through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners and become an ABVP diplomat in avian medicine (ABPD).**For the full article, pick up the 2008 issue of Birds USA or click here to buy the issue.**

Google+ may have 400 million users by the end of 2012, Bloomberg reported on Dec. 28. Sign-ups for Google's new social networking platform accelerated in December 2011, perhaps as a result of the popularity of Google's Android mobile system, which makes it easy to join it, Bloomberg's Nick Turner writes.
You know what that means—somehow, some way, you're going to have to get serious about Google+ in 2012. You'll have to assume that every person you see with an Android device has a Google+ account.
But where is the time supposed to come from? As a communicator, you're already flitting between Facebook and Twitter, with occasional stops along the way on LinkedIn. And then there's everything else you need to be doing—remember that stuff?
To ease your acceptance of the permanence (at least through 2012) of Google+, I offer you these time-stealing tips:
1. Visit your Facebook three times a day, tops. Penalty for breaking this rule: You must avoid FB entirely the next day.
2. Impose a 30-word limit on all emails you write.
3. Pretend Twitter has a 75-character limit. That's 65 keystrokes saved that you can apply to Google+.
4. In those rare events that your phone actually rings (and you answer it), limit the conversation to 30 seconds. Your caller will be grateful, considering he or she was hoping you wouldn't answer anyway.
5. Instead of checking your email during meetings, post to your Google+ page.
6. Never, ever visit Web sites, except in emergencies. You're getting all the news you can handle from your Twitter account anyway.
7. Always skip the last item in a "Top" list. All those saved moments add up to more time you can spend on G+.

Former City Councilman Harry P. Jannotti, released in September from federal prison after serving a 4 1/2-month term for his Abscam bribery conviction, has been appointed to a $30,800-a-year City Council job.
Council President Joseph E. Coleman confirmed yesterday that he had named Jannotti executive director of the Veterans Advisory Commission, a little- known agency under Council control that coordinates city veterans' observances and refers veterans to other agencies for social and medical services. The appointment does not require Council approval.

'Muslim Patrols' prompt backlash in the UK
- 22/02/2013
The Muslim Patrols are only the latest instance of a phenomenon that is growing more widespread in Europe and is being mirrored by anti-Muslim groups, said Maajid Nawaz, head of the Quilliam Foundation, an anti-extremism think tank in London.
"This is more about the Muslim community than non-Muslims. These people think they are making what they do attractive to young people," said Salman Farsi, a spokesman for the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, which caters to one of the city's biggest Muslim communities.
It was outside this mosque in the London borough of Tower Hamlets that the Muslim Patrols operated for a few nights in January.
Footage shot with a mobile phone and posted on YouTube showed the youths aggressively approaching various people after dark, telling one man to get rid of a can of alcohol and chasing a couple away from the area for, as one member of the patrols is heard telling another, "exposing themselves in front of the mosque".
In one clip, they approached a man who appeared to be wearing make-up, telling him: "You are walking through a Muslim area dressed like a fag, mate.
You better get out of here

A blizzard is expected to blanket the state's coastline and northern region and endanger holiday travelers on Sunday with 8 to 16 inches of snow, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly said.
Temperatures will likely remain below freezing for the duration of this nor'easter, which will begin around 8 a.m. Sunday morning and last until early Monday morning, meteorologist Jim Hayes said. This is the first major snowfall of the season, following storms last year that set records for snowfall and intensity.
To receive blizzard classification, a storm must involve both winds gusting at 35 miles per hour and snowfall that decreases visibility to a quarter mile or less, Hayes said.
New Jersey's coastline may suffer flooding during the storm, but the state's western and inland southern regions won't be hit as hard. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for these areas.

Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster
Here's the perfect Valentine's Day date movie. First, it's scary enough to put your sweetie into cuddling, or at least cowering, mode. Second, it lets men show what Mr. Sensitives they are by pointing out that the film is as much about sexist psychological abuse of women as it is about serial killings. Women, meanwhile, can enjoy how well Foster handles all the men in the movie.
Foster plays an FBI trainee called into a case by bureau behavioral specialist Scott (The Hunt for Red October) Glenn. He thinks her lack of experience might disarm the defense mechanisms of an incarcerated murderer whose advice he needs about a series of abduction murders of young women.
The jailed criminal is Hopkins, playing Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, a psychiatrist who is the embodiment of every psychotherapy patient's worst fears: He's brilliant, intuitive and seductive, and if he decides you're not worthy, he'll kill and eat you, not necessarily in that order. (Lecter was also a character in 1986's less impressive Manhunter, taken, like this film, from a novel by Thomas Harris.)
The confrontations between Foster and Hopkins—facing her from an ultrasecure cell—are models of chilling intensity. Foster, struggling not to be intimidated, and Hopkins, quickly focusing on her biggest insecurities, extract all the steely terror from Ted (White Palace) Tally's trim script. And director Jonathan (Married to the Mob) Demme dwells on close-ups of the two actors' faces, catching every twitch—or, in Hopkins's case, the absence of twitches.
Among the ironies swirling under the film's surface is that Hopkins treats Foster with respect. Otherwise, she's hit on or patronized by almost every man she meets, from Hopkins's prison mates to guys she passes in the airport, to cops she works with, to Glenn. (The sense of sexist persecution is all the more pointed coming in a male-dominated movie.)
The overt plot revolves around butterfly collector-tailor-murderer Ted (Love at Large) Levine, who's mad because he has been rejected for a transsexual operation.
Levine, perhaps inevitably, pales by comparison with Hopkins, and his involvement in the plot is one of the film's aspects that doesn't bear much scrutiny. (He lives, for instance, in an average suburban house, but its basement is cavernous and conveniently includes a 20-foot deep, captive-storing well.) It seems unlikely, too, that the FBI would throw an inexperienced woman like Foster into a case like this, and Lecter doesn't wash either—chewing people to death hardly seems efficient, for example.
Most damaging, Anthony (Teachers) Heald, as the head shrink at the institution where Hopkins is kept, overacts wildly, awkwardly lampooning the behavior of a doctor who wants to use his special patient as a career springboard. His every appearance shatters the film's ominous mood.
Bad dreams needn't be plausible to be disturbing, though, and minute by minute this film ranks with the most upsetting of them. It will make men think maybe some of those feminist complaints are justified. As for the women—well, you knew we were like this all along, didn't you? (R)

Recipes provided by Family Features
Always keep cream cheese and sour cream on hand as they can quickly be combined with salsa, condiments, shredded cheese or seasonings to create delicious dips or spreads.
To create visual appeal, serve prepared spreads in hollowed out fresh peppers, artichokes or cabbage heads.
Grilling gives delicious flavor to steak as the high heat cooking seals in the juices. To determine the doneness of a steak, make a small slit near the bone and check the color or use a meat thermometer.
When turning steaks, use long-handled tongs. Do not use a fork as piercing the beef allows flavorful juices to escape.
Desserts and More
To personalize desserts or party favors, use cookie cutters, cookie pop pans, candy or lollipop molds and single-sized baking pans to prepare individual portions. These can be arranged as your centerpiece before being enjoyed.
For festive-themed food items, use shaped cake pans to make unique and spectacular desserts (cakes, gelatin or mousse), salads or sandwich breads.

Jimmy Goldstein for NBA.com: "In addition, I must point out that I follow all 30 NBA teams very closely and consider myself to be an "NBA fan", as opposed to being a fan of one particular team. So when I see a team in person that I only get to see once or twice a year, it is natural for me to get more excited by that team than one I watch 50 times a year. Finally, my antagonism toward the Lakers is derived from the fact that the ticket prices are always raised after a good season. My $15 ticket now costs $2,800 per game. Why pull for a team when I know that their success will cost me money?"
Tom Ziller of SB Nation on the next CBA: "Look at the Kings sale. $535 million — about $235 million over previous valuations — to crummy outgoing owners who lollygagged near the salary floor for years. And it happened about 18 months after owners, on the basis of massive annual losses, convinced the players to give them $280 million (and rising) a year in concessions. Players gave up 14 percent of their salary, and then saw the league's most hapless owners cash out at a 224 percent profit in 14 years … and not because of a single thing the Maloofs did right. I don't know what a player proposal on profit-sharing would look like, or whether the still-unselected new executive director and CP3 want to lob that shot. Potential expansion to Seattle and perhaps another city could figure into it, but it seems like the players' best opening at making gains in 2017, even if it's a longshot. One thing's clear: if the owners cry poor again, the players have one helluva retort in the Kings."
The NBA will be shown in 47 African territories next season.
This from Will Leitch of USA Today is kind of applicable to the Thunder: "There is absolutely zero downside to Phillips calling a beat reporter a "fat motherf—–." Sure, maybe the Reds will ask him to apologize (though I doubt it), and some opposing fans will dislike him a little more than they already did (while sending hate tweets to Rosecrans too), but nothing is going to happen to him. Whether or not he calls Rosecrans a "fat motherf—–" he is still an extremely wealthy man who hits baseballs extremely well for a living, wearing the jersey of a team that generations of fans have decades of goodwill toward. He's golden. He's in. As long as he is hitting, he can treat C. Trent Rosecrans however he wants. He doesn't have to be a jerk: It'd be nice if he were cordial and welcoming and accommodating. But there is no real compelling reason for him to do so other than honoring the social contract to be good and kind to others and ha ha ha who are we trying to kid here?"
Dave of Blazersedge on the NBA and PEDs: "PED's are not a new phenomenon. In truth, it's probable that some of our dearly-held Trail Blazer heroes were enhancing their performances. It would not surprise me a bit and it shouldn't surprise you either, let alone if modern super-athletes are doing it. All of that said, the NBA is a business. Because of the superstar-driven nature of its marketing and image plan, no league has less incentive to crack down on this issue, to risk dimming individual greatness in any way. Denial and diversion make far more sense. That's where the league is right now. Testing is inadequate and outdated. Priority? To all appearances, back-burner."

I think you multiply by 39 to get mg/dl.
Your trigs look good to me as well as your hdl. Hard to judge your LDL without you getting a VAP or NMR test, but usually low trigs and higher HDL signify the "pattern A" ldl that isn't considered to be a problem. Pattern B ldl is the one considered to be a problem.
