CLAUDE GIROUX said this feeling, the one the Flyers have heading into tonight's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Buffalo, reminds him of that epic series against Boston last season.
No, the Flyers are not down by three games.
No, the Flyers aren't thinking they are going to need to duplicate one of the greatest comebacks in the history of professional sports.
And, no, the Sabres are not nearly as talented as last year's Bruins.
But the overwhelming reaction, the one inside the Flyers' locker room, is that they wholeheartedly believe that they outplayed Buffalo on Thursday night, despite coming out on the wrong side of an underwhelming 1-0 shutout loss.

Tennis Tech: Smart Rackets and Digital Courts
New Coaching Tools and Software Aim to Better Serve Amateur Players
Amateur golfers no longer get to have all the fun. Tennis is finally experiencing its own tech boom.
A recent surge in coaching tools and software means it is easier than ever for weekend hackers to see how awful their strokes really are and to do something about it.
A new racket made by Babolat—which sells for $399 in the U.S.—captures data about your shots and displays it on electronic devices. (Two women at the French Open in Paris are using it in tournaments.) There are more apps for instruction, including Tennis Coach Plus, that allow a coach to record, analyze and annotate a student's strokes.
At ProTennisCoach.com, a startup run by several coaches to the stars, amateurs can watch instructional videos, engage in live chats and receive online analysis of their technique.
One of the highest-tech offerings is from PlaySight Interactive Ltd. Its SmartCourt uses high-definition-camera and digital-imaging technology to record and tag nearly everything players do on the court. Winning shots. Errors. Your fastest serve and longest rallies. How far you run. The system also traces your footwork and lets you review your technique. You can study it all courtside with your coach at a kiosk that resembles an ATM. You can log in online to view it at home, too.
"If I can see what I'm not doing well, it's much easier for me to correct," said Ananda Cutter, a 44-year-old from New York City who picked up tennis in her 20s.
Ms. Cutter takes lessons at the Tenafly Racquet Club in Tenafly, N.J., using PlaySight during the lesson and sometimes reviewing her progress at home.
"You don't remember everything at every lesson, so you can look back," she said. "It also tells you how many calories you burn. It gives you all those little details."
Every year, amateur tennis players have seen new gear—rackets, strings, shoes. But there haven't been breakthroughs to help them learn the frustrating sport. Golfers have long benefited from video technology and swing-analysis innovations. Now tennis players, too, are getting some overdue assistance.
Fukuko Bandle, a 66-year-old who runs a Japanese-language tennis blog, started playing tennis at age 50 and takes lessons at the Bogota Racquet Club in Bogota, N.J. She says the PlaySight technology has given her footwork a lift she didn't think was possible.
"I spent 15 years on coaches, tons of money," she said. "My level is so much higher now."
PlaySight courts currently aren't widely available. There are only 21 courts in the U.S. that are equipped with the technology, 17 of which are in New Jersey and New York. The company recently announced it raised $3.5 million from investors who included Novak Djokovic, the second-ranked tennis player in the world, and retired great Billie Jean King. It is aiming for 200 courts in another year.
Even with a PlaySight court, you still need a coach. Nick Bollettieri, who has coached dozens of top players, said he was impressed by the technology but would use it carefully. "If you overfeed a player with information, I think it's more detrimental than positive," Mr. Bollettieri said. "What has made me the teacher I am is simple information and simple tips."
Some of the new high-tech aids could use refining.
Babolat's racket, for instance, measures the power of a shot as a percentage of the racket's optimum power, rather than in miles an hour, a more useful gauge. And PlaySight's imaging technology doesn't always tag accurately. It can't recognize a let, when a serve hits the net and the point is replayed. It is a minor glitch, but not easy to fix, said Gordon Uehling, a tennis-club owner and a PlaySight investor.
Another option for amateurs is ProTennisCoach.com, which is run by coaches who have worked with pros including Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Andy Roddick.
Members pay $99.50 annually for access to the site's instructional videos and pro-game analysis. For an additional fee, which starts at $150, you can also send a video recording of your strokes to the site's partner coaches and one of them will analyze and discuss it in a live chat.
"I can break down his match, I can break down any part of his game," said Darren Cahill, one of the site's partner coaches and an ESPN commentator, about the amateur videotapes he receives.
ProTennisCoach.com declined to disclose how many members it has. The site has advertised mostly through social media and by selling membership cards at specialty stores.
A more expensive option at ProTennisCoach.com involves one-on-one coaching.
David Shoop, a 42-year-old Los Angeles attorney, hired Mr. Cahill last year for a three-hour private lesson. The night before, they ate dinner at Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, where Mr. Cahill lives, and talked tennis.
During Mr. Shoop's lesson, Mr. Cahill brought along a surprise guest for 20 minutes of hitting: Grigor Dimitrov, a top young pro who works with coach Roger Rasheed, another ProTennisCoach.com partner. Mr. Shoop said he spent about $1,000 for the lesson. He also insisted on picking up the dinner tab.
Mr. Shoop also has used the site's online video analysis. "For me, it's usually about getting more body into it, because I tend to use my arm," he said. He says the video analysis is helpful, but can't compare with private lessons. "When you are with [Cahill] in person it's obviously much better."

SafeWork NSW congratulates our 2015 SafeWork NSW Awards winners.
A total of nine awards were presented across seven categories from a pool of 25 finalists. This year's winners were from a range of industries including construction, local government, aged care, banking and retail.
A common theme across entries was a focus on new product development and the smart use of technology to reduce risks and resolve safety issues. The Awards also highlighted the impact a workplace injury has on an individual and colleagues and the importance of innovative return to work initiatives.
Crown Equipment Pty Ltd
Boasting a diverse workforce devoted to sales, engineering, clerical, technical, field service and spare parts, Crown Equipment made consultation with staff from all areas a priority when developing their new safety management system.
Key to the new system was guiding the behaviour of workers at all levels to create a values-based learning organisation. This involved early hazard identification, inclusion of management in all WHS matters, communicating safety information to all workers and continuous improvement and benchmarking.
Crown is no longer simply compliant, with significant reductions in the number of claims over the last five years. As well as developing extensive safety courses for their own staff, Crown is a certified training organisation, providing driver training for over 5000 operators each year.
"The safety management system touches every corner of the organisation"
Port Stephens Council
The best work health and safety systems are constantly evolving to meet the needs of a diverse organisation. As part of Port Stephens Council's continuous safety improvement a team was formed to overhaul the way they handled risk, with dramatic results.
A combination of WHS and corporate risk management systems, the new integrated system was introduced after extensive consultation with workers. Incorporating the key elements of policy, planning, implementation, measurement, evaluation and review, the system provides a simplified, holistic approach to safety.
The results are impressive. Since the introduction of the integrated system, Port Stephens has seen a drop in workers compensation premiums by more than $1 million and a 70 per cent reduction in lost time injuries.
"The Council is committed to constantly improving risk management systems"
Andrew Ryan - Patrick
For decades, stevedores around the world have been putting their lives at risk due to jammed twistlocks on shipping containers. This became all too real for crane operator Andrew Ryan when he saw the terror on a co-workers face after having to enter a restricted work zone to hold a jammed twistlock open so a container could be lifted.
That night Andrew came up with the Ryan Key, a fork-like clip that keeps faulty twistlocks open, eliminating the need for workers to enter the restricted zone while containers are being lifted – a simple yet radical idea that has since been implemented at all Patrick terminals.
Andrew's commitment to his colleagues' safety has led to a solution that could have a huge impact on one of the world's major industries.
"Andrew's commitment to ensure his colleagues are safe at work has been inspiring"
Roads and Maritime Services/University of Technology Sydney - Robotic Bridge Inspector
One of Australia's best-known icons, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built at a time when safety in design was not deemed as important as it is today. In order to access much of the internal structure, bridge inspectors were exposed to risks including asphyxiation, heat exhaustion, slips, trips and delayed rescue.
To avoid putting the squeeze on its workers, Roads and Maritime Services, along with University of Technology, have created the Robotic Bridge Inspector. Like something out of science fiction, the autonomous robot uses magnetic 'feet' and lasers to explore the tight spaces of the bridge, recording video footage that can be reviewed from the safety of the office.
The success of the robot has inspired RMS and the University to further invest in technology for safety outcomes, including assistance for the immense job of painting the bridge.
"This has a significant and immediate impact on how steel bridges are inspected"
Mavid Construction Pty Ltd
As a young company in an industry dominated by big business, Mavid Construction is using a high-tech approach to tackling the safety challenges of multiple work sites and a growing number of workers.
As well as employing external safety officers to complete regular risk assessments and safety checks on each site, Mavid developed an online system that is instantly accessible by all employees and viewable in both the office and on site.
Using an already-available online service, Mavid create cloud-based safety folders for each job, containing job-specific information such as safety policies, traffic management, induction plans, hazard reports, electrical registers and emergency response plans.
Owner-Director Matt Sharpe believes that Mavid's agility and willingness to adapt to current technology will provide the best possible environment for his workers, and that can only be good for business.
"It gives us an advantage over other construction companies who may be more traditional and not embracing this change."
Jennifer Saben - UnitingCare Ageing NSW ACT
For Jennifer Saben, not being in control of day-to-day tasks after her injury was almost worse than the pain. After some tough days and dark nights, it was a strong support network and her determination to get back to the job and residents that she loves that led to a fast recovery.
While working as a recreational activities officer for UnitingCare Ageing, Jennifer fell and sustained bilateral fractures to both of her wrists and elbows. As a single mother of two, she faced a challenging period of recovery, including eight weeks without the use of her arms.
With the support her workplace, friends and family Jennifer returned to work on suitable duties as soon as she could. Now after almost six months of intense treatment and rehabilitation, not to mention plenty of restless nights due to frustration and a feeling of helplessness, she has returned to her pre-injury role.
"Being surrounded by colleagues is the best support you can have"
Annette Celle - Bankstown City Council
With 800 employees as diverse as tradies, town planners, librarians, waste collectors, IT professionals and mechanics, Bankstown City Council is faced with the challenging task of managing safety systems that ensure all workers go home safely each day.
In spite of the challenges, Coordinator Risk Management Annette Celle has helped Bankstown achieve their best work health and safety results in 16 years. Through communication and constant engagement, she has created a culture that encourages workers in all fields to think about safety.
In just two years, Annette has created safety imagery and branding, reviewed the organisation's consultation structure, identified high-risk areas, improved incident management and set new work health and safety objectives for the organisation.
Annette's commitment to safety is already paying dividends, with a 34 per cent increase in incident reporting and a 64 per cent drop in lost time injuries.
"Annette has provided structure to the safety team, knowledge to the leadership team and inspiration to the organisation."
The Westpac Group
Westpac's return to work program starts well before an injury even occurs. By educating their people, early reporting, proactive use of medical services and active engagement by management, Westpac staff receive quick and effective support, should the worst happen.
Australia's first bank takes a 'whole of life' approach to worker safety and return to work, understanding that every worker's situation is unique and a workplace injury can have a much greater impact on a worker's life than how they do their job.
As well as minimising risks and creating a sustainable safety culture, Westpac undertakes regular reporting on hazards and near misses, early pain and discomfort detection, implementation of the InjuryNET doctor service, injury management guides for leaders and an extensive suitable duties library.
"Wellbeing depends on managing the balance between work and personal factors"
Craig Murray - Sydney Fish Market
Sydney Fish Market's Craig Murray believes that exposing the safety weaknesses of a business and bringing them into the open is the first step to addressing them. Through this willingness to work with other businesses to improve their safety flaws, Craig personifies safety leadership.
As the Sydney Fish Market's WHS Environmental Systems Manager, Craig has made a number of changes to his workplace, including a review of hazard and incident reporting and facilitating learnings for a number of businesses within the Markets. It is his work with other businesses, however, that truly sets him apart.
Since participating as a mentee is SafeWork NSW's mentor program, Craig has shared his knowledge with a number of organisations, encouraging nine other businesses from the Market to become mentees. His journey from mentee to mentor is now complete, having partnered with a small landscaping business to share his knowledge and expertise.
"The management of WHS issues across industries only varies in application, not in theory"

- 2.46 ml vanilla
- 946.36 ml Golden Grahams cereal

- Add chocolate chips and vanilla and stir until chocolate is melted.
- Stir in Golden Grahams cereal.
- Stir in marshmallows.
- Press into a buttered 9x9 pan.
- Let stand 1 hour and cut into bars.
Most Helpful
This is the oringal recipe from Golden Grahams cereal, but we double everything for a 13x9-inch pan. Except for the marshmallow, instead of doubling to 3 cups, we increase it to 6 cups (we like our marshmallows!). With the extra marshmallows, the mixture fills a 13x9-in cake pan to the top, press into the pan with waxed paper. I like my smores best kept in the fridge, the chocolate-covered Golden Grahams have a nice crispness.
Good! Easy to make. I had to let the bars sit longer than an hour.
Yummy and quick to make! I've made the bar version of these Golden Grahams Smores snacks several times and really enjoyed these tasty little nuggets. Dangerous, though, since it's tempting to keep popping them in your mouth. I chilled a bit to get them to set up faster. These snacks don't store very well..so eat up! Thanks, Faith, for sharing the recipe!

Left Behind: Eternal Forces - The Video Game
Posted: December 19, 2006
The popular "Left Behind" books and movies – which promotes an exclusionary Christian theology that believes Jews and others must convert or be killed at the End of Days – has a new addition to its growing franchise: "Left Behind: Eternal Forces," the video game.
The game, released in November 2006 on CD-ROM, is based on the same intolerant theology embedded in the adult and children "Left Behind" book series, which features gory depictions of the annihilation of Jews and other non-Christians who refuse to convert at Armageddon.
The "Eternal Forces" game was released to coincide with the Christmas 2006 shopping season. It represents the latest tool in the arsenal of millionaire pastor Tim LaHaye, co-author of the "Left Behind" books, and is based on his Christian-only salvation theology and his horror-filled interpretation of Biblical prophecies about Jews, Israel and their fate during the Apocalypse.
While the Left Behind books portrays a world beset with violence, and the final installment of the series is full of gruesome scenes of destruction and the killing of Jews and others, the video game avoids such stark portrayals. If the game had stayed true to the level of violence in the books, it would probably not have been able to keep the "Teen" rating it garnered.
However, the inclusion of a "Left Behind" book in the package for "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" creates a direct link between the two. Together they promote the overall message of an exclusivist religious system that considers the proselytization of Jews to be an imperative. This theology portrays itself as the only path to salvation. And Jews, people of any other faith, or those of no faith who do not convert before it's too late, are destined to suffer horrible deaths.
Good vs. Evil
The "Eternal Forces" game pits the "good guys" a Christian religious militia, battling the "bad guys," called the Global Community Peacekeepers - a United Nations-like world army led by the anti-Christ. LaHaye argues that the video game is "designed to be a classic battle between good and evil," adding that since there is no "gratuitous" blood and gore, its tale of the hellish demise of non-believers, will actually "perpetuate positive values."
The game, like the rest of the Left Behind franchise, mirrors another troubling aspect of the Christian Supremacist movement in the United States by portraying Christians who believe in their specific brand of theology as a put-upon minority who are being persecuted by larger and better equipped evil forces.
The game is designed to make force an option only used by players if necessary when their forces are attacked by those hunting them, and any characters that kill others in the game are penalized. Conversion to Christianity in the game is not depicted as forcible in nature, and violence is not rewarded in the game.
The game revolves around "spirit" - a low spirit leads a character to the side of the Antichrist, and players must continually watch their spirit levels to ensure they do not slide towards evil. Killing others in the game deeply affects the spirit levels, and players must have those characters pray to build themselves back up or risk turning evil.
Ultimately, the game comes down to a choice of fighting - both materially and spiritually - against the forces of evil, or joining evil and losing. Evil is typified by "rock stars" and "cult leaders" who pull souls into darkness.
"Life Stories" and Moral Lessons
"Left Behind: Eternal Forces" includes "life stories" that can be read describing all of the characters populating the game, including the Christians (making up the Tribulation Force) and the minions of the Antichrist, as well as the neutral characters both sides are seeking to influence and win over as recruits. The back stories of the characters include moral lessons in each person's history. For example, one character's family was religious and he was not, and after they were "Raptured" he still is not entirely convinced in the religious nature of their disappearance, so he is a neutral character. Another was a criminal who ended up joining the forces of the Antichrist. Others on the Tribulation Force were nominally Christian and only converted after they recognized the true nature of the Rapture.
The neutral characters populating the game are often members of religions other than Christian or lapsed/not faithful Christians from various denominations. However, the particular religious and social backgrounds of characters in the game does not make them any more or less susceptible to conversion, nor is there any special benefit attributed to converting someone of a particular background (i.e. no "extra points" or "increased difficulties" when trying to convert a person from a specific group/belief).
Promoting An Evangelical Worldview
Another insidious aspect of the game being used as a way to promote a particular fundamentalist view of Christianity occurs at the end of each level, where there are optional "clues" that serve as informational pieces designed to promote the evangelical beliefs of the makers of the game. These pages have Christian music playing the in background, and include a link out to purchase the particular tune playing.
Topics of these pages include themes such as questioning evolution or giving descriptions of historic Christian sites in Israel (and links out to further materials online about the topics). Players are not required to read them to continue with the game.
In its press materials, Left Behind Games points to the success of Christian products such as Mel Gibson's high-grossing 2004 film, "The Passion of the Christ." They claim there are a built-in market and a built-in distribution system. The networks of churches that ascribe to the beliefs of LaHaye and others are important parts of the company's marketing plans, which include sending a million promotional CDs to churches across the country.

Yeah it would be awesome to have a trainer update for this game
Ivielios posted on May 31, 2013 5:31:37 PM - Report post
Would love to see am update for this, but seriously doubt it's going to happen. This game is crazy over protected by the developers. Which is insane, considering the majority of the game is single-player only. I know there's a multiplayer, but I never thought it was popular enough to warrant such stern programming.
In short, the trainer is not crashing the game, it's the game itself. As soon as it detects the trainer running, it forces itself to crash.
Kill a thousand men and they will hate you. Kill a million men and they will queue to face you. But kill a single man and they will see monsters and devils in every shadow.

Ricky Hatton on Board: I'll Be Watching Haye-Chisora
By Phil D. Jay
Ricky Hatton says he will be just like every other boxing fan on July 14th and will pull up his seat to enjoy what should be an enthralling contest between David Haye and Dereck Chisora at Upton Park in London.
The 33 year-old former fighter is as keen as most fight fans to take in the action following the pair's public brawl last February, but admits that the British Boxing Board of Control are powerless to stop the fight from happening, despite promising sanctions.
"I'll watch it. It will be a good fight," Hatton told BBC Radio Manchester.
"They're not breaking any rules but if you were sat on the BBBofC committee, steam would be coming out your ears. If you were on the board of control, you'd be seething a little bit.
"But nobody's breaking any rules and, even though I'm a boxing member for the BBBofC, when it comes on the box, I'm sure I'll watch it."
Haye, 31, and 28 year-old Chisora will now fight for fringe versions on the WBO and WBA heavyweight belts after the World Boxing Association confirmed their involvement today, which will be another kick in the teeth for the BBBofC and their condemnation of the clash.

Sony to enter personal transportation market?
January 3, 2007 New Scientist's patent-watcher Barry Fox unearthed a ripper this week when he came across a patent application from Sony dated November 23, 2006 that details a new motorized, balance-steered skateboard from the consumer electronics giant. The patent covers "a vehicle steerable by movement of center of gravity" but unlike the many conveyances which are steered by center of gravity movement, the Sony patent looks to have many applications and is pictured in the patent application as a two-, three- and four-wheeler and also as two two-wheeled devices akin to motorised rollerskates, with each wheel powered by its own electric motor. Though the article suggests that Sony hopes to compete with the Segway Human Transporter, we're more inclined to see the Sony patent as being applicable to a more sporting variety of personal transportation with a definite emphasis on the youth market – unless Sony has found a way of overcoming basic Newtonian physics, riders of the new vehicles, however many wheels they might turn out to have, are likely to have to take a few tumbles in the process of learning to master the devices. There's every likelihood that the research behind the patent emanates from Sony's work in the area of partner robotics and personal transportation devices we reported here. Fascinating possibilities!

SeaWolves' Startup, McCann help West win Eastern League All-Star Game
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. -- Will Startup threw one scoreless relief inning and James McCann went 0-for-2 as the West beat the East 5-0 in the Eastern League All-Star Game in front of 8,633 fans at New Britain Stadium.
Startup, a relief pitcher for the Erie SeaWolves, pitched a quick fifth inning to maintain the West's 5-0 lead.
He entered the game at the same time as catcher and teammate James McCann, who caught the final five innings.
McCann grounded out to short in his first at-bat in the sixth inning before striking out in the eighth inning.
Second baseman Hernan Perez and starting pitcher Warwick Saupold were also selected to represent Erie in the All-Star Game.
Perez was promoted to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday and Saupold is on the disabled list with a shoulder injury.
Richmond's Javier Herrera launched a three-run home run in the top of the first inning to give the West a quick 3-0 lead.
Carlos Moncrief (Akron) added an RBI single in the fourth inning before Altoona's Jarek Cunningham had a run-scoring single three batters later.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android tablet
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 review: A superbly designed 7.7in Android tablet let down by the Android Honeycomb OS
- Slim and lightweight design
- Great display
- Good battery life
- Outdated version of Android
- No 3G in AU models
Bottom Line
Samsung deserves plenty of credit for the design of the Galaxy Tab 7.7, one of the thinnest and lightest tablets on the market. However, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is ultimately hindered by Google's Android 3.2 "Honeycomb" operating system, which makes the user experience less than stellar. If you are hellbent on owning a 7in tablet, we'd give the Galaxy Tab 7.7 another look once it gets upgraded to the latest Ice Cream Sandwich verion of Android.
Price$ 543.00 (AUD)
Another day, another Android tablet. This time it's the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, a compact and lightweight tablet with a 7.7in screen. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a fantastic design that is both superbly constructed and super thin, but it is unfortunately let down by outdated Android software that dampens the overall user experience.
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review
• Best 7in tablets
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7: Design and display
It seems Samsung is intent on releasing a tablet with every screen size imaginable. It has already produced 10.1in, 8.9in and 7in sized tablets, along with the 5.3in, part smartphone, part tablet Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 adds a fifth screen size to the mix, attempting to strike a balance between portability and functionality.
Although 7.7in may initially seem like an odd screen size, the ultra slim and light form factor of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 makes it feel logical. The tablet is just 7.9mm thick and weighs only 335g, making it one of the thinnest and lightest devices in its class. As a comparison to other smaller tablets on the market, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is both thinner and lighter than the BlackBerry PlayBook, the Acer Iconia A100, and the Toshiba Tablet AT1S0.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is instantly recognisable thanks to an attractive brushed metal finish on the back and a thin, silver bezel around the edges. Every aspect of the Galaxy Tab 7.7's design screams quality — from the well positioned power and volume keys that provide great tactility, to the gloss silver edging surrounding the headphone jack.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7's svelte frame has made it tough for Samsung to include extra ports, but the tablet covers most of the basics. On the top edge you'll find a headphone jack, on the right side volume buttons and a power/screen lock key and on the left a microSD card slot, covered by a plastic flap. The bottom of the device houses dual speakers and Samsung's proprietary dock connection. This connector looks remarkably similar to Apple's 30-pin connector port used on both the iPhone and iPad.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7's design is complemented by an outstanding screen, an AMOLED Plus panel with an impressive resolution of 1280x800. The display is responsive, has excellent brightness and impressive colour reproduction. The 1280x800 resolution may not sound all that special on paper, but when you consider this is the same number of pixels used in most 10in Android tablets, the result is a sharper and crisper image. This is especially evident when reading long blocks of text on a Web site.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Fangio: Young linemen must earn play time
Fangio on 2nd year players: 'I'm more interested to see where they're at'
Vic Fangio says LB Cam Johnson is a "very viable candidate to make this team right now." (AP)
SANTA CLARA -- Although the 49ers might have more depth on the defensive line, it does not automatically mean the team will incorporate a rotation to give regular breaks to workhorses Ray McDonald and Justin Smith, as well as outside pass rushers Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks.
Those rotational roles must be earned, 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Wednesday.
Also Fangio said he does not believe rookies Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial will be available when training camp opens. Both players appear to be headed for the non-football injury list in late-July when the 49ers report. Carradine is rehabbing a torn ACL, while Dial underwent toe surgery in January.
Fangio also said he still considers veteran cornerback Carlos Rogers as the team's top player at covering the slot receiver.
Here is what Fangio had to say during his meeting Wednesday with reporters:
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman had said he'd been through two offensive installs and it was more for him about execution. What is it about for you during this minicamp with the defense?
Fangio: "Well, the minicamp is just a continuation of the OTAs where we're installing our defense. Teaching the assignments, the fundamentals, the techniques and the concepts, the different concepts that we will use during the season, and we're installing them now. We're not in the game-planning, or playing any particular type of offense. It's just installing and inserting all of our concepts."
You've got a lot of reinforcements through the draft, free agency somewhat along the defensive line. Is the intent to have more platooning this year to give those starters more of a rest during the regular season?
Fangio: "Well, that's a possibility. But those guys have to earn the right to be allowed to be put in the game. You just don't platoon guys just for the sake of platooning them. You don't want to go down in the quality of your play just for the sake of playing guys. But those guys, the guys you're alluding to, haven't practiced yet, and I don't know when they'll be able to practice. So whatever contributions they can make is really up in the air, yet."
When do you think Carradine and Dial will be able to join practices?
Fangio: "Not anytime soon. But I don't know the exact date."
Will you expect them to be ready for training camp?
Fangio: "I don't think so in the beginning."
Nnamdi Asomugha says he's a good fit in this defense. What have you seen that kind of makes him a good fit? Or do you feel the same way?
Fangio: "Well, that remains to be seen in Nnamdi's case, too. I do think he's a good fit as a guy and a person. He's been a tremendous guy here. He's learning. He's been a real pro. Remains to be seen how well he can cover. Guys got to be able to cover at the corner position. But I do think our style of play does potentially fit his style where he's at in his career right now. So hopefully he can make a strong contribution to us. But that's yet to be determined."
How's Eric Reid coming along?
Fangio: "He's coming along fine, like most rookies are. He's in the struggles of learning what to do. The first step in a rookie's got to learn what to do to where he can actually tell you what he's supposed to do. And then he's got to be able to show you he knows how to do it. And then he's got to be able to make the adjustments on the run that come within those different assignments and techniques. And right now, I think he knows what to do. He doesn't always know how to do it. And he doesn't always know the proper adjustments. And I think you make a mistake to evaluate any rookie at this point. They're all learning right now. This is the learning stage of how to play. And the true evaluation won't come until the middle of training camp and into the preseason games."
When you have a guy like Craig Dahl back there, can you do more defensively because of his abilities to make calls and to make last-minute adjustments?
Fangio: "Possibly. But I think one of Eric's strong points will be his mental capabilities, and I think he'll get it. And what happens with a lot of guys like that, the light just kind of comes on one day and it all starts. Right now it's just the screen is blurry a lot of times. And then one day that TV screen will be fixed and it'll be like a new HD. So it will just happen at some point."
How are Darcel McBath and C.J. Spillman in that competition as well?
Fangio: "They're doing fine. What we've done up to this point all through OTAs and through this minicamp, is Spillman and Dahl have been alternating who works with the first group. And then (Thursday's) practice, Reid will get to work with the first group. So there's nobody set right now."
When you lose two key linemen in the offseason, and then Justin Smith's not back and Tank's not here, does it change what you can do this minicamp? Are you able to do what you want to do?
Fangio: "No, because what it does do actually for the young players is it gets them more reps. Justin hadn't been taking any reps. Ray McDonald's been taking very few reps. Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks haven't taken any because of their injuries. So it does give the younger guys a lot more opportunity to improve. And it doesn't set us back. At this stage we just keep calling as if they're in there."
Did Ahmad have surgery on his shoulder?
Fangio: "He had an issue with his shoulder that he had to get corrected. And I'm not sure if it was surgical or not."
And how curious are you just to follow obviously Justin means so much to your defense, have you just been following him to see how he's come along in his rehab of that tricep?
Fangio: "He's doing fine. Justin's one of those guys you don't have to follow."
Will you talk with senior offensive consultant Eric Mangini at all? I know he's more on the offensive side. But, will you talk to him about some ideas on defense at all?
Fangio: "We haven't to this point. And right now he's knee-deep into the offensive side trying to learn our offense and etc. So, it's nothing that's been planned that that would happen. But just sitting around the table eating lunch or something one day you might have a conversation. But that's not the intent."
What's your early assessment of Lawrence Okoye?
Fangio: "Well, he's like all these rookies here expect he's never played football before. So, magnify it to that degree. So, he's got a lot to learn. Not just learn, guys play peewee football, high school football, college football for a reason. And he hasn't. So, he'll have a lot to learn. But, I don't think we'll get a true picture of him for a while."
[RELATED: Olympian Okoye works from behind at 49ers minicamp]
Do you enjoy that kind of project?
Fangio: "Yeah, just as long as if he's not still a project when if we're forced to play him."
When you look at him, do you see the vast potential?
Fangio: "You see some potential, yes. But, still, it's a game that you have to know how to play. And it's going to be a matter of how quickly he learns how to play. He hasn't had anybody hit him yet. He hasn't had a double team yet. He hasn't figured out if it's a run or pass whether he should rush, or play the run. So it'll probably be a very slow process with him much more than a normal rookie."
He's tall and he's got such long legs, do you think that's going to be his major obstacle, is learning leverage and trying to make sure that offensive linemen aren't getting lower than him?
Fangio: "That will be an issue for him. Like you like to say with the tall guys, use the height as an advantage not a disadvantage. So they have to learn to bend their knees when they need to. But, it's a good point because if you did some research over the years, and I'm talking years, there aren't very many successful defensive front players that are over 6-6 or 6-5. Just it's a little harder."
How much did you change the defense during the offseason before coming into these OTAs and mini-camps?
Fangio: "Not much at all. Every year you tweak here and there and add a little something here and there. And we've done that. But nothing major."
Is it nice to get Parys Haralson back? It seems like he's eager to be out there after missing the whole last season?
Fangio: "Yeah, Parys missed playing last year and we missed him. And it's nice to have him back out there. He's a guy that everybody likes playing with and competing with because he's a competitor. And we're hoping he can come back to the form that he was showing when he played in 2011."
Why hasn't Carlos Rogers been practicing?
Fangio: "He's got a physical issue that he's dealing with, and just being precautionary with him right now."
Does that help in the sense of pushing the young guys to the forefront?
Fangio: "It does. It forces you to play other guys at corner, play other guys at nickel. Those guys would have been anyway. But, that's just they're getting his reps that he would have got. They're getting more reps to learn. So, it's actually helpful to the younger guys and the backups."
Do you envision Rogers as your nickel guy?
Fangio: "Yeah, right now I do. Yes."
Do you expect him to be healthy by training camp?
Fangio: "Yes."
And Brooks as well?
Fangio: "Yes."
Any of the new faces or rookies make a particularly strong impression on you in particular?
Fangio: "No, not really. Again, because some of them aren't even participating, and some of them are going through that process of learning. I try hard not to even make an evaluation. Or, obviously I notice something really good or notice something really bad. But, just try to hold myself back from evaluating anybody. And really what I'm more interested in in this camp is last year's rookies more so than this year's rookies. Because those guys, and we had the fifth, sixth and seventh round pick in 2012, which were defensive guys in (Darius) Fleming, (Cam) Johnson and (Trenton) Robinson. And I'm more interested really to see where they're at because they should be really a lot farther along having been here now for a full year. And all three of them are. I'm pleased to see that. And I'm sure our offensive coaches are eager to see what the first four picks from that draft are looking like because we didn't get a lot from any of them. So now's the second year where you can really start to evaluate a draft class. So I'm really more interested right now in seeing where those guys are."
[VIDEO: Fangio -- "Every year you tweak here and there."]
Of those three guys, any particular thing they're doing to stand out?
Fangio: "They're all a whole lot better than they were last year. Cam Johnson is a very viable candidate to make this team right now. Trenton is, too. And Darius Fleming was doing very good work at inside linebacker, which we switched him to at the start of OTAs. And he was doing very good work there until he got a little injured there. So, been pleased with those three guys. Feel a lot stronger about them now than I did last year at this time."

Well they are pretty common now a days but they also are the longest rifle to serve in our military. Also they can be configured so many diferent ways that one lower reciever can do triple duty for your HD/SHTF, hunting and competition gun by switching out the upper recievers.
February 13, 2008, 10:42 PM
I mean, is it one of those guns that is a must for a gun collection?
No gun is a must for any collection. We collect what we like simple as that. For me one AR did not do it but four of them in different configurations and calibers has me fairly well satisfied for now.
February 13, 2008, 10:42 PM
I mean, is it one of those guns that is a must for a gun collection?
February 13, 2008, 10:47 PM
Depends on what kind of collection you have.
If you like tinkering and making a gun your own, it is absolutely a must have. Right up there with a 1911 and 10/22 if not at the top of the tinkerer's list.
Military guns? Also a must, but you'll probably want to be more picky about the configuration.
Fun to shoot handy rifles? A 16 inch or 18 inch ar-15 is about as handy as they get. It's a great rifle to punch holes in paper, or introduce new shooters to.
From a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI scenario, you need a .223 like you need a 9mm. There will be lots of both around.. realtively speaking.
If you collect fine functioning scultures of rare woods and blued steel? Then no.
February 13, 2008, 11:14 PM
if you have to think about it or ask then you probally shouldn't get one or you don't "need" one. i have it because i want it, not because i need it, but hey that is the beauty of the whole thing!
February 13, 2008, 11:34 PM
Yep, before Hillary/Osama Obama/ McCain take over.
February 13, 2008, 11:38 PM
You don't need a Corvette or a Porsche 911 Turbo.......but compare to a minivan........
You don't need an AR or an M-1....but compare to a smoothbore musket...
You don't need anything. There are some collectors that don't even own a semi auto firearm, but why not?
February 13, 2008, 11:40 PM
Yes you need one.
Get on it.
February 13, 2008, 11:40 PM
Your collection should reflect your wants, but the AR-15 is without a doubt one of the most significant firearms to come along.

February 13, 2008, 11:41 PM
I'll just say I highly doubt you will be disappointed if you get one.;)
February 13, 2008, 11:44 PM
Yet another subjective question...the answer is YES YES YES. AR's are awesome IMO!
February 13, 2008, 11:46 PM
imo, an AR is a must if you can afford one. they're a dream to shoot, I have a bushmaster and I really appreciate the overall quality of the rifle.
plus they drive gun grabbers crazy!
February 13, 2008, 11:51 PM
I cant think of any good reason why anyone would NOT want one... Get one, by all means.
February 13, 2008, 11:59 PM
No you don't need an AR. Yes you do need an EBR of some sort.
February 14, 2008, 12:48 AM
Yes, it is a must... but I must warn you that you will be unlikely to stop after just one...
February 14, 2008, 12:59 AM
I don't think it's a must, but I don't know anyone who has one that doesn't like it, and that includes me. Fact is, they are just a good rifle, and there isn't a good reason not to have one.

February 14, 2008, 01:19 AM
Shoot one. If you enjoy it, go for it.
I've got nothing against the AR platform, I just don't find them fun to shoot, so I don't have one, or plan on getting one. If you're one of the (many) people who do find them enjoyable, I'd say get one. They're good rifles and you can do tons of nifty stuff with it.
February 14, 2008, 01:40 AM
YES, you need one. Or more precisliy, we need you to have an AR15.
If every gun owner had at least one AR15 then they would be immune to any future attempt to ban them. At a minumum own one. Better yet to shoot it, enjoy it and learn about it. Best of all is to introduce other shooters and non-shooters to it.
Precisely because it is a common target of the antis is exactly why you should get one. When there are 10 million AR15 in circulation then they will never banned.
I have had no interest in AR15s until this year. I went out and bought two DPMS complete lowers and am now shopping for a good deal on uppers. My goal is to make sure each of my daughters and son-in-laws have one of their own, too.
February 14, 2008, 02:02 AM
Uhm, yes. No wait.... Yeah its a yes. Like stated above though, its hard to stop at just one.
February 14, 2008, 02:49 AM
bah its easy to stop at 1
I stopped at 1 and 2 and 3 and 4

I think that's a great point. Buying ARs puts more $$ in the companies that produce them too. The more we can all do to bolster the "EBR" market, the harder they will be to ban. Antis love going after gun owners one small niche group at a time. They alienate one group, ban their guns, and move on to the next group. "Assault" weapons are one of the biggest targets, because it's so easy to make out owners of ARs/AKs as crazy anarchist criminals. If we all own an AR or AK, none of us would simply let the ban happen because "my guns are safe".
February 14, 2008, 03:23 AM
February 14, 2008, 03:56 AM
You may not need one, but you should have one anyway:D
February 14, 2008, 06:15 AM
At first, I was anti-AR. Didnt see the point in dropping $800+ dollars on an AR, I was an AK guy and you can get a good AK for $400.
Then I started doing some reading about building an AR....found out this can be done for under $600....
Built one, a plain 16" A2 rifle.....liked it a bit so I built a 20" A2.
Now I have a pair, not likely to build another.....if I do its going to be a super-light 16" on a poly lower.
If you havent already go shoot a few rounds thru one...rent, borrow etc.
If you do like it get one now, grab a few mags and 2K of ammo....move along to something else knowing youve got it covered.
February 14, 2008, 01:54 PM
You betcha. I was in your boat, then I bought one--most expensive firearm I own, but man, is it a doozy! Fun, fun, fun stuff. Plus, it irritates anti-gunners, by default.
But, if you're flaky on it, don't get it. No gun is a "must", but it's one of those "Should"s
February 14, 2008, 02:23 PM
Yes I think an AR is a must for every collection... the points were already made as to why.
February 14, 2008, 04:25 PM
.... UMMMM ... this is a GUN forum? :eek: :scrutiny: :D
Of course you need one or six.
cracked butt
February 14, 2008, 04:33 PM

A gun owner doesn't know what he is missing until he/she obtains a 1911 pistol and an AR-15 :D
February 14, 2008, 04:35 PM
I was anti AR for quite a while, partly I didn't know the platform. Now I am gonna get one when I can afford to too.
February 14, 2008, 04:42 PM
get one and dont look back. you will not be dis-satisfied. they are the funn'est rifle out there, and they will serve you well for many, many years. great for teaching youngsters, and for family shooting. one gun everyone should shoot.
February 14, 2008, 04:46 PM
Get one, just be prepared to continue to spend money on ammo, mags, and accesories...

Perception of the envelope-beat frequency of inharmonic complex temporal envelopes118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2126824View Description Hide Description
Listeners can hear slow sinusoidal variations in the depth of sinusoidally amplitude-modulated (SAM) stimuli. Here, the SAM stimulus of frequency acts as the carrier, and the slow variation in depth of frequency (referred to as "second-order" amplitude modulation) corresponds to a beat in the temporal envelope. Recent studies have suggested that second-order amplitude modulation perception is based on a modulation-distortion component or the "venelope" (the Hilbert envelope of the ac-coupled Hilbert envelope), both occurring at the envelope-beat frequency . This was tested by transposing to the modulation domain the matching paradigm used by Schouten et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am.34, 1418–1424 (1962)]. Listeners estimated the envelope-beat frequency evoked by a , second-order SAMwhite noise with either an integer multiple of or shifted in frequency to make the complex envelope inharmonic. The results indicate that the perception of the envelope-beat frequency was affected by these shifts when . This suggests that, at least at low modulation frequencies, the perceived envelope beat is not determined by a modulation-distortion or venelope component, but rather relies on the time intervals between the main peaks of the first-order envelope.
Spatial unmasking of birdsong in human listeners: Energetic and informational factorsa)118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2130949View Description Hide Description
Spatial unmasking describes the improvement in the detection or identification of a target sound afforded by separating it spatially from simultaneous masking sounds. This effect has been studied extensively for speech intelligibility in the presence of interfering sounds. In the current study, listeners identified zebra finch song, which shares many acoustic properties with speech but lacks semantic and linguistic content. Three maskers with the same long-term spectral content but different short-term statistics were used: (1) chorus (combinations of unfamiliar zebra finch songs), (2) song-shaped noise (broadband noise with the average spectrum of chorus), and (3) chorus-modulated noise (song-shaped noise multiplied by the broadband envelope from a chorus masker). The amount of masking and spatial unmasking depended on the masker and there was evidence of release from both energetic and informational masking. Spatial unmasking was greatest for the statistically similar chorus masker. For the two noise maskers, there was less spatial unmasking and it was wholly accounted for by the relative target and masker levels at the acoustically better ear. The results share many features with analogous results using speech targets, suggesting that spatial separation aids in the segregation of complex natural sounds through mechanisms that are not specific to speech.
Detection of spectrally complex signals in comodulated maskers: Effect of temporal fringe118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2108958View Description Hide Description
This study tested the hypothesis that masking release for a complex signal under conditions where signal energy is present in all frequency regions occupied by the masker is attributable to an across-frequency-channel comodulation masking release (CMR) process. The approach was to identify a signature CMR trait, and to then determine if that trait was associated with the detection advantage for complex signals. The selected trait was the decline of CMR in the presence of a random temporal fringe. In experiment 1, a masking release was observed for a four-component harmonic signal presented in a comodulated masker, and this masking release was diminished by the random temporal fringe. A similar effect was observed in experiment 2 for a four-component inharmonic signal. These results support the hypothesis that a CMR can be measured for a complex signal even when there is substantial spectral overlap between the signal and its comodulated masker. This finding has consequences for CMR models since it demonstrates that the presence of "signal-free" cue bands is not a prerequisite for CMR, and that the presence of comodulation during the signal window is not sufficient to result in CMR.
Reduced contribution of a nonsimultaneous mistuned harmonic to residue pitcha)118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2126823View Description Hide Description
Ciocca and Darwin [V. Ciocca and C. J. Darwin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am.105, 2421–2430 (1999)] reported that the shift in residue pitch caused by mistuning a single harmonic (the fourth out of the first 12) was the same when the mistuned harmonic was presented after the remainder of the complex as when it was simultaneous, even though subjects were asked to ignore the pure-tone percept. The present study tried to replicate this result, and investigated the role of the presence of the nominally mistuned harmonic in the matching sound. Subjects adjusted a "matching" sound so that its pitch equaled that of a subsequent complex tone (12 harmonics of a F0), whose mistuned third harmonic was presented either simultaneously with or after the remaining harmonics. In experiment 1, the matching sound was a harmonic complex whose third harmonic was either present or absent. In experiments 2A and 2B, the target and matching sound had nonoverlapping spectra. Pitch shifts were reduced both when the mistuned component was nonsimultaneous, and when the third harmonic was absent in the matching sound. The results indicate a shorter than originally estimated time window for obligatory integration of nonsimultaneous components into a virtual pitch.
A perceptual learning investigation of the pitch elicited by amplitude-modulated noisea)118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2074687View Description Hide Description
Noise that is amplitude modulated at rates ranging from 40 to 850 Hz can elicit a sensation of pitch. Here, the processing of this temporally based pitch was investigated using a perceptual-learning paradigm. Nine listeners were trained (1 hour per day for 6–8 days) to discriminate a standard rate of sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) from a faster rate in a single condition (150 Hz SAM rate, 5 kHz low-pass carrier). All trained listeners improved significantly on that condition. These trained listeners subsequently showed no more improvement than nine untrained controls on pure-tone and rippled-noise discrimination with the same pitch, and on SAM-rate discrimination with a 30 Hz rate, although they did show some improvement with a 300 Hz rate. In addition, most trained, but not control, listeners were worse at detecting SAM at 150 Hz after, compared to before training. These results indicate that listeners can learn to improve their ability to discriminate SAM rate with multiple-hour training and that the mechanism that is modified by learning encodes (1) the pitch of SAMnoise but not that of pure tones and rippled noise, (2) different SAM rates separately, and (3) differences in SAM rate more effectively than cues for SAM detection.
The advantage of knowing where to listena)118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2109187View Description Hide Description
This study examined the role of focused attention along the spatial (azimuthal) dimension in a highly uncertain multitalker listening situation. The task of the listener was to identify key words from a target talker in the presence of two other talkers simultaneously uttering similar sentences. When the listener had no a priori knowledge about target location, or which of the three sentences was the target sentence, performance was relatively poor—near the value expected simply from choosing to focus attention on only one of the three locations. When the target sentence was cued before the trial, but location was uncertain, performance improved significantly relative to the uncued case. When spatial location information was provided before the trial, performance improved significantly for both cued and uncued conditions. If the location of the target was certain, proportion correct identification performance was higher than 0.9 independent of whether the target was cued beforehand. In contrast to studies in which known versus unknown spatial locations were compared for relatively simple stimuli and tasks, the results of the current experiments suggest that the focus of attention along the spatial dimension can play a very significant role in solving the "cocktail party" problem.
Discrimination of speaker size from syllable phrasesa)118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2118427View Description Hide Description
The length of the vocal tract is correlated with speaker size and, so, speechsounds have information about the size of the speaker in a form that is interpretable by the listener. A wide range of different vocal tract lengths exist in the population and humans are able to distinguish speaker size from the speech. Smith et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am.117, 305–318 (2005)] presented vowelsounds to listeners and showed that the ability to discriminate speaker size extends beyond the normal range of speaker sizes which suggests that information about the size and shape of the vocal tract is segregated automatically at an early stage in the processing. This paper reports an extension of the size discrimination research using a much larger set of speechsounds, namely, 180 consonant-vowel and vowel-consonant syllables. Despite the pronounced increase in stimulus variability, there was actually an improvement in discrimination performance over that supported by vowelsounds alone. Performance with vowel-consonant syllables was slightly better than with consonant-vowel syllables. These results support the hypothesis that information about the length of the vocal tract is segregated at an early stage in auditory processing.
Psychophysical estimates of nonlinear cochlear processing in younger and older listeners118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2126933View Description Hide Description
The primary goal of this project was to compare the performance of younger and older listeners on a number of psychophysical measures thought to be influenced by nonlinear cochlear processing. Younger (mean of ) and older (mean of ) listeners with normal hearing were matched (within ) according to their quiet thresholds at the two test frequencies of 1200 and . They were similarly matched at the adjacent octave frequencies of 600 and (within at one and at the other). Performance was compared on measures of auditory filter shape, psychophysical suppression, and growth of forward masking. There was no difference between the two age groups on these psychophysical estimates reflecting nonlinear processing, suggesting that aging per se does not affect the cochlear nonlinearity, at least for the ages sampled here. The results did, however, consistently demonstrate an age-related increase in the susceptibility to forward masking.

This stock above $20 is in the circle of being "overpriced overvalued and over hyped"$20 is what investors will give it tops...just give it some time to get there. remember the ROVI drop from $50s to low $20s now. what did i say back then???
Hollywallst...I used agree with some of short picks in the past. But your mantra is the same for every stock that goes down AH.It doesn't matter what the stock,,you pick a price target $20-30 lower than the lowest AH price. Its obvious you only are interested in scaring people for a lower AH price to cover. too bad.
so what the problem is with that?? LOLI already covered in high $40s, shorted in mid $40s during the drop.usually i will hold for a day or two for the low of the day with such stocks, but i needed the money and i made good money shorting this AH already.trade is done, profit is locked. peace out
Agreed: Red Hat Inc. (RHT) uses a simple calculation of billings proxy that, in the view of J.P. Morgan, exaggerates its business momentum whereas an annualized billings analysis is better because it would show investors where the company actually stands. With the upcoming subscription renewals, the Sales & Marketing team will be paid high commissions, leading to a loss of leverage in that sector. Currently, the company is trading at $50.55 which is expected to go south of $32 by the end of 2012. Market capitalization is $9.75 billion and earnings per share of $0.83 may rise in the upcoming year but the valuation (P/E) will come off.http://seekingalpha.com/article/314776-b...
