Cyber Squatting with a Honeypot: Works by David Wischer & Jonathan McFadden
Freeport Art Museum, 121 N. Harlem Avenue, Freeport. Tuesday thru Friday: 10 am to 5 pm; Saturday: Noon to 5 pm. This exhibition is an installation, print and multi-media exhibition of work by Jonathan McFadden and David Wischer that presents a reaction to news and social media cycles by drawing attention to the fractured and often-sensationalized events and culture. Works are appropriated from multiple media outlets and social media sites, emphasizing the fractured narrative that news cycles create by pushing aside recent events for the most current story, creating a culture that blurs events and leaves the viewer entertained but unable to recall details. McFadden incorporates recognizable forms so that the viewer feels a sense of remembrance toward, but may not link to the original meaning. Thus the work created in reaction to these events begins to take on its own narrative about global society and how we digest information. Opening Reception: August 19, 5 pm to 7 pm. Free, but donations appreciated. (815-235-9755)

In my free time I regularly read Yahoo finance or the CNN Money articles related to personal finance and retirement. People are told that they need to save as much as possible for retirement, because they will be spending somewhat close to 75% of their pre-retirement incomes per year. In addition to that most so called financial guru's claim that Social Security and Medicare will be either bankrupt or providing only enough coverage for the elderly that would allow them to enjoy cat food and insufficient health care in retirement. In order for people to be able to retire comfortably in those gloomy future years, they have to save as much as possible and invest it all in the stock market, in order to generate one or two million at the time of their retirement, which would then allow them to withdraw fund during their non-working years.
I generally disagree with these articles, since they are way too general. They are written with the intend to target as many people as possible. But they are far away from the truth.
In my opinion, it is important to have paid in full your primary residence at the time of your retirement. Once this is done, the income requirements are much lower than during your working years. Most financial experts recommend that the annual mortgage payment for a primary residence should not exceed 35%-40% of the family's income. If you are currently spending 30% on your income in order to be able to pay off your house by the time you retire, then you will be able to live on 30% less income during retirement.
In addition to that, if dividend and capital gains income continues to get a preferential tax treatment, you will need less investment income for each dollar of job income that the investment income is replacing. The best thing of investment income is that you don't have to pay Social Security and Medicare on it.
Finally, in order to determine your income needs in retirement, you should subtract the amount of money which you normally contribute to your salary every pay period. I wouldn't expect that you will need to save for retirement, in retirement. If you contribute 10% of your salary to a 401K plan for example, then you need to subtract that percentage from your income needs.
A potential wild card that could possibly derail one's retirement is the rising costs of healthcare. We are constantly reminded how healthcare costs are rising exponentially and how they would become even more expensive in the future. I do think however that in the future health costs increases will not rise more than the rate of inflation, after stricter insurance reimbursement policies require health management organizations to be more selective in their billing to patients and the procedures that are recommended.
After one's retirement needs have been estimated, it is a good idea to create an investment plan, which would help you in your quest to reach your goals. A solid mix of dividend stocks and some bonds would be a good place to start. Don't have time to play a stock picker- then select a mix of index funds. Then set it up on autopilot by investing a fixed amount from your paycheck every pay period.

[BIG TEN] Last year, Ohio State was one of the hottest teams in the country over the last month and a half and finished 11-7-3 but didn't get at-large bid to the NCAA Men's Tournament.
This year, the Buckeyes made sure there would be no question about whether they moved into the postseason.
They won the Big Ten Championship for only the second time, beating regular-season champion Indiana, 5-4, on penalty kicks after their game ended 0-0.
"The whole weekend was fantastic. These guys were unbelievable - they deserve all the credit," Ohio State coach John Bluem said. "Last year, we thought we were in the NCAA tournament but didn't get in so it is nice to have that automatic bid. So now, on Nov. 19 when we watch the selection show we will just be waiting to see where we are seeded."
Senior forward Xavier Balc was named the tournament's Most Valuable Offensive Player, while senior goalkeeperCasey Latchem, who notched his school-record 24th-career shutout, earned Most Valuable Defensive Player honors.

Amid a four-day storm that blanketed much of the state in fresh powder, WinterWondergrass in Avon didn't let a little snow stand in the way of throwing a party.
Rebirth, renewal and RockyGrass. Signs of the triumph over adversity were everywhere at the 42nd annual music festival, whether it was the green lawn in front of the stage, the people tubing and playing in the St.
"There's no place like RockyGrass, I'll tell you what," said bluegrass legend Del McCoury during his headlining set Friday at the 41st annual RockyGrass Festival, held at the Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons.
For the 40th time, the gates of Telluride's Town Park opened to a stream of tarps rushed in by a group of dedicated festivalgoers, or "festivarians" as they are called here.
After 40 years, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival has developed some long-standing traditions: late-night jam sessions, house bands and musicians who have returned for decades. And maybe it's partly because of this well-loved, established culture that something unexpected happened when tickets went on sale for the 2013 festival: Four-day passes sold out in three hours before a single act had even been announced.
By Jonathan Gang A sold out crowd at the Boulder Theater on Sunday witnessed an intimate showcase of a combined 90 years of bluegrass experience. Guitarist Del McCoury and mandolin player Sam Bush presented a stripped-down collection of songs and stories that resembled a laid-back porch jam session.

The end of a music festival is always bittersweet. On Sunday, the fourth and final day of the 2012 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, there was a certain feeling of resignation in the air.
Saturday, the third day of the 2012 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, felt like part of a comfortable routine. While the previous two days seemed like people were adjusting to the rhythms of festival life, Saturday felt like everything was as it should be.
Friday at the 2012 Telluride Bluegrass Festival was all about reevaluating how to be a "festivarian." On Thursday, a lot of people were so excited to be at the festival that they got too much sun, drank too much alcohol and consumed too little water.
Going the Telluride Bluegrass Festival always feels like more than just going to a music festival. Walking through the gates to Town park, it feels like you're coming home.
After two days under wilting heat, the 39th annual RockyGrass festival closed Saturday with a more relaxed vibe and an interesting blend of old and new favorite acts that balanced bluegrass with modern acoustic Americana, showing that a new generation is taking the bluegrass artform and bending it across genres.
TELLURIDE -- The 38th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival closed amid a fiery storm of music and a downpour of rain on Sunday. Festivarians could have done without the rain -- what's up, muddy tarps?
The vibe at the third day of Telluride Bluegrass was jazzed and excited. It was also one of the more musically polarized days here in the box canyon.
TELLURIDE -- The 38th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival launched on Thursday with a line-up that was as vibrant as the giant, painted Colorado columbines that lined the main stage's proscenium.
Is the Telluride Bluegrass Festival the state's most treasured musical tradition? When you consider the festival's legacy and past artist rosters, its location and unsinkable spirit, it's quite possibly Colorado's most sacred weekend of music.
Summer evenings are almost perfectly embodied by concerts at the Denver Botanic Gardens, which offer a chance to have a picnic dinner, bottle of wine and listen to some good music.

It's no fun to be stranded in a strange town. But the United Way of Amarillo and Canyon tries to ease the pain with its traveler assistance program.
The service also helps local pastors, who once spent a lot of time trying to sort out the con artists from people with legitimate needs.
Most people who set out on vacation or to move across country take enough money for food, gas and lodging, said Twilla Woolsey, community services director for the United Way. But if the car breaks down, repairs can deplete the travel budget and leave a family with no way to move on.
Stranded travelers often search out a church for help, and churches near Interstate 40 get hit hardest. But these days many Amarillo pastors send people to the Tyler Street Resource Center, where a United Way caseworker can do a screening and assessment, Woolsey said.
"We use the Tyler Street Resource Center as our primary screener," said Gene Shelburne, minister of Anna Street Church of Christ. "I used to spend about 25 percent of my time trying to filter out who was telling the truth and who wasn't."
The typical church, Shelburne said, "is simply not equipped to do a really good job of dealing with the transient, and these people (United Way) are professional at it."
Last week, Shelburne said, a couple of travelers came to the church building and another half-dozen called.
"Before United Way and Tyler Street, every one that showed up would have cost me an hour," he said.
Churches still help financially, but they do so primarily by contributing to the United Way and other social service agencies that assist travelers, Woolsey said. Social workers, she said, are adept at screening out the people who don't have a real emergency but just want someone else to pay for their travels.
"We're not going to judge them for that," Woolsey said of people with a transient lifestyle. "That's the life they've chosen. But we're not going to assist them with traveler's aid either."
People who have no money left after paying for car repairs may be eligible for gasoline vouchers, Woolsey said, but they must come in person to the Tyler Street Resource Center. If the travelers are on their way to a new job, the caseworker asks for the name of the employer and then calls to verify the information. Whatever the situation, Woolsey said, United Way wants to verify that the stranded traveler is telling the truth and in genuine need of help.
United Way encourages people to call friends or relatives and ask them to wire money, Woolsey said. Stranded travelers are not charged for long-distance calls they make from the resource center.
Sometimes the broken-down car is not worth fixing, Woolsey said, in which case the United Way might provide bus tickets out of town. People who have no money for food can get travel packs, which include food, from Samaritans Outreach, another agency located at the Tyler Street Resource Center.
Travelers always get vouchers or supplies rather than cash, Woolsey said.
Traveler assistance is also available to local people, Woolsey said, such as people who need to get to another town for a family emergency but can't afford the trip.
United Way is networked with traveler aid programs in cities along the traveler's route that may be able to help out as well, Woolsey said.
Shelburne said his church periodically takes up special collections and sends the money to social service agencies that serve stranded travelers, homeless people and local people who are down on their luck.

The ocular hypertension indicator (tonometer) is a screening instrument and not a diagnostic instrument. We believe that this instrument, placed in the hands of general practitioners according to some acceptable plan, may prevent blindness through the earlier discovery of hypertension and earlier reference of the patient to an ophthalmologist. In our opinion the screening instrument need only indicate whether the intraocular pressure is below or above normal. This restriction eliminates the delicate parts of the diagnostic tonometer.
Description of Instrument.—
The hypertension indicator uses the footplate and plunger details of the well known Schiötz tonometer. The weights of these parts correspond to the Schiötz tonometer. At this point the similarity ends. In place of the lever, pointer and scale of the Schiötz, a two part, direct reading indicator is used. The reference part is screwed on the top of the footplate tube, and the indicator is screwed on the

I love to make things! Rarely will you find me without a crochet hook or knitting needles in hand working on a project. And I love to sew and scrapbook, too! My husband and daughter tease me about my crafty obsession. But they are pretty happy, too, when they score something handmade.
I learned my crafting skills at an early age. I come from a crafty family and learned a lot from my mother and grandmother who taught me to crochet and craft. My 4-H leaders filled in the gaps, teaching me how to knit and sew. Then I studied Fashion Design and Home Economics at Kansas State University. Now, I have the privilege of passing these skills down to my daughter.
I have to admit, it wasn't easy for me to learn. I struggled with reading patterns and following instructions, so I designed most of my own projects. But over time, I finally learned how to follow a pattern and began writing my own patterns. I always like to share this experience with others who are learning to show them that with practice and perseverance, they can learn, too.
Happy Stitching!
Looks like we have 6 more weeks of winter according to Punxsutawney Phil, the infamous ground hog. Don't worry! That just means more time to wear cute winter gear, like this fun Owl Pocket Scarf!
The Owl Pocket Scarf features a warm scarf with two pockets to keep hands warm. As I was designing this, the owls seemed to take on a life of their own, so I made them different like siblings... or maybe cousins. This pattern offers advice on how you can make your own unique owl pockets, too.
Instructions also include information on how to size the scarf for toddlers through adults just incase you need your own after making one for your favorite little person.
Hope you enjoy this pattern and stay warm!

SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants would prefer to be playing for more than pride this weekend. They expected so much more than that.
But at least they can rattle up to the pride recycling center and collect this: They will not join the 1998 Florida Marlins as the only defending World Series champions to finish in last place.
They were assured no worse than fourth after beating the San Diego Padres 7-3 Friday night, courtesy of the Colorado Rockies' loss to Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers.
In fact, at 75-85, the Giants matched the Padres for third place in the NL West. Believe it or not, under the old postseason payout system, there would be some share money at stake.
Oh, but there's money to be made. Hunter Pence, who is going to get a big payout as a free agent, snapped an 0-for-27 streak while setting a career best by hitting his 26th home run. It came in the third inning, two batters after Brandon Belt's career-best 17th homer, a two-run shot, snapped a tie.
And Juan Perez hit his first big league home run in the second inning, too.
That was enough support for Ryan Vogelsong, who didn't sneak many pitches past the Padres but rode contact outs to get through six innings and end a difficult season on a determined note.
Starting pitching report
Vogelsong did not blow away the Padres. He struck out three in his six innings and only got three swing-throughs on his fastball. He has just 10 strikeouts over his last six starts.
And 10 of his 18 outs were either fly balls or line drives to the outfield, many of them well struck.
But Vogelsong did what he does best. He battled while holding the Padres to a pair of runs. Tommy Medica hit an RBI single in the first inning, but Vogelsong struck out Jesus Guzman to strand two others. The Padres got another run in the third when Chris Denorfia walked and scored on Jedd Gyorko's double.
Hunter Pence and Brandon Crawford combined on a relay to throw out Gyorko trying to stretch for third, which might have saved Vogelsong a run and surely saved him some pitches.
Vogelsong battled again in the fifth, walking Denorfia after Will Venable's two-out double and then retiring Gyorko on a fly out to right field. He had one more stand to make in the sixth after Nick Hundley drew a two-out walk to put runners at first and second. Pitching coach Dave Righetti came to the mound for an extended chat, almost surely to tell Vogelsong that he was facing his last hitter of the season.
Alexi Amarista, who nearly spoiled Tim Lincecum's no-hitter in San Diego, worked the count full on Vogelsong and fouled back one pitch before hitting a sharp lineout to left field.
Vogelsong picked up his first win since Aug. 25 and finished 4-6 with a 5.79 ERA in a season that started off rocky and then got worse when his pinky finger was dislocated and crushed when hit by a pitch May 20.
He had another scary moment in the fourth inning, when a Burch Smith pitch brushed him back.
Vogelsong ended up throwing just seven quality starts out of 19. Now the Giants must decide whether to pick up his $6.5 million option or try to renegotiate something that includes a lower base with incentives.
Bullpen report
Jean Machi pitched the seventh inning but Heath (don't call him Keith, Starbucks baristas!) Hembree got in a wee bit of trouble in the eighth.
Just a few hours after GM Brian Sabean called Hembree the most intriguing rookie on the club, the right-hander's 0.00 ERA was under direct threat. In his seventh career appearance, he allowed a single and a ground-rule double to start the eighth. But Santiago Casilla kept the rookie's perfect ERA by pulling a great escape.
Casilla issued a walk before striking out Jesus Guzman, then he deftly fielded Nick Hundley's comebacker to start a 1-2-3 double play.
Javier Lopez began the ninth and pinch hitter Logan Forsythe led off with a home run that slipped over the center field fence. Amazingly, it was just the second home run Lopez has allowed in 3 ½ seasons as a Giant.
That's right. Two home runs. (The Pirates' Pedro Alvarez hit the other one last year.) Lopez has appeared in 236 regular-season games and faced 605 batters as a Giant, by the way. Plus 29 more in the postseason.
No wonder they want to re-sign the guy.
At the plate
The Giants hit three home runs in a game at AT&T Park for just the second time this season. Back on May 12, Belt joined Pablo Sandoval and Marco Scutaro in a game against the Atlanta Braves.
The Giants have hit 105 home runs this season – two more than they hit last year.
The Giants added a run in the sixth when Gregor Blanco drew a bases-loaded walk.
It wasn't a great game for Blanco on the bases, though. He was thrown out trying to stretch a single leading off the first inning. And he was picked off first base after hitting a single in the fourth.
Blanco was thrown out a third time on the bases in the eighth, but you couldn't blame him for the last one. He hit an RBI triple that split the gap in right-center, and nearly evaded the tag at the plate while trying for an inside-the-park home run – something that's long been on his bucket list.
In field
Perez contributed a grass-skidding catch of a fly ball in shallow center field, proving that it's possible to fill a highlight tape despite playing just 200 defensive innings in a season.
The Giants announced 41,103 paid on Fan Appreciation Night. If any big screens went unclaimed, hey, I can be back in 10 minutes with a minivan.
Up next
The Giants and Padres continue their three-game series at AT&T Park on Saturday. It'll be Yusmeiro Petit (4-0, 2.84) against left-hander Eric Stults (10-13, 3.94). First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PDT.

If Microsoft handled its PR better, would you have had a more positive outlook?
horror_spooky 3 years ago#21
Microsoft's horrific PR was enough of a shock that they actually went and fixed many of the underlying issues. The result is a better console with a better business model.
Those aren't PR issues, unless you're meaning literally "how they are relating to the public" as opposed to the actual practice of PR, which most people are talking about

Yep. Just like the anti-government movement. They twist stuff and start throwing out hypothetical scenarios of something that hasn't even happened yet, creating this whole overblown backlash. A lot of MS gamers had no problem with the original policies. Even the problems that where legitimate, I could have easily seen being worked out from developer push-back and not staying in place for long. Just like with World of Tanks and indie game development.
Just look at the family share plan, now XBO gamers have to wait because the stupid backlash from people who where going to buy the system in the first place. They went and ruined the expereince for everyone who was going to be buying the system.
I think gamers who understand it, don't have a problem, but I will admit that MS's PR is horrendous at getting it's message out to the general gaming community. They're nothing but suits, most of them come across as not understanding what they are selling and it just perpetuates the gaming communities view that MS is a money grubbing company (all of them are regardless)
The reason why the Original Xbox and the Xbox 360 did so well was because MS had people like Bill Gates and Jay Allard who where great at explaining a lot of the technical stuff with these consoles to every day consumers, in a way that they understand. This year they have been terrible at it.

Gamers did not want required online check ins or asinine DRM policies. Many still do not want to pay for Kinect ( but thankfully there is an option to use the console without it now). It has nothing to do with allegiance and everything to do with bad business. The most vocal critics weren't haters, they were enraged 360 owners, people who fully expected MS to make a gaming console they would like instead of this TV watercooler Adbox that also can play games.
Troll logic: say something utterly moronic and when someone takes the time to point out your stupidity, you win!
kesah posted...
The only thing I disliked was that Kinect was required, I don't care about their DRM or any of the other stuff. Of course, I'm still waiting for a Kinect-free version before I purchase one, I don't see a point in paying a 100$ premium for something I would never take out of the box.

LETTER: City should concentrate on making neighborhoods safe
Amber Frazier, Evansville
"I am a victim." Those are the words that the people on the Albion Fellows Bacon center utter as we watch the commercial about sexual and domestic violence.
Where is the help for victims of neighborhood violence? Home is where you should feel safe, and above all else, the police should be someone you can turn to in a time of need. My home has been a victim of neighborhood violence in a way that should never happen. It was reported to the proper authorities and come to find out no report was fled. However after the incidents we became the target for people in this neighborhood to pin their problems on.
All I want to do is go to work/school and come home to my family. I don't feel I can do that without neighborhood confrontation, and scrutiny. I would like for the higher authorities to do something other than tell me, "We have more important things to do" when I call them out here.
Do not try to appease me, fix the junkie and thief problem in Evansville! That is your job! Make Evansville a place people want to live instead of Indiana's second Gary.
I think if the people in power would focus more on fixing the city's current problems instead of bringing in new business they will see that people will come back to a safe place to live!

This multiauthored text edited by Dr Strauss is a comprehensive presentation on nontraumatic medical problems in sports and exercise. It is primarily intended for physicians but could also be useful to physical therapists, trainers, and exercise physiologists. Although containing much technical material, the text is written in a style that would not overwhelm nonphysicians with an adequate background in human anatomy and physiology.
The book is organized into five sections. The first two deal with general medical concerns of the athlete, with chapters organized according to organ systems. Emphasis is given to the cardiovascular system.
Chapters in the third section represent medical concerns of special sports participants—women, children, persons with chronic medical problems, the physically disabled, and the elderly.
The fourth section lists environmental concerns in sports—heat, cold, altitude, and depth. The last section deals with selected topics of nutrition, drugs, travel, and sports psychology.

rotation: heavy
Mndsgn makes dreamy beats that weave together woozy synths, dusty samples, and heavily processed ethereal crooning & harmonized vocals from the man himself. Jazzy grooves, head-nodding beats, vinyl crackles & thick, gooey atmospheres abound. RIYL shigeto.
Favorite Tracks: Homewards (2), Frugality (4), Arklite (7), Camelblues (8)
rotation: medium plus
Katie Kate sings, raps, and makes big, synth-heavy electronic beats informed by modern hip hop & pop… which, although it sounds terrible on paper, actually works very well in a surprisingly original way on many tracks of this album. Rushmore shows her knack for creative ways to lyrically express hip hop bravado, and her groovy, catchy hooks are best exemplified in Drift (trk4) and Sadie Hawkins (trk9).
Favorite Tracks: Rushmore (3), Drift (4), Persephone (6), Sadie Hawkins (9)
This EP is fire. It's four songs that are each different and awesome in their own way. The first sounds like Phoenix mixed with some ragtime piano. It's some real catchy and poppy stuff. Track 2 is a full on dance party with Daft Punk like guitar riffs, disco vocals, and loads of funk. 3 is upbeat and soaring. It's got precisely plucked guitars and punctual synths. 4 is a cross between Miami Horror and Justice with a little bit of rap three quarters through the track.
Lemaitre is discodude duo, Ulrik Denizou Lund and Ketil Jansen. The group is named after Belgian scientist, Georges Lemaitre. He is credited with proposing the concept of the Big Bang. Boom. Check it out.
On Patterns & Light, Kodomo creates sprawling, cinematic compositions over energetic, dancefloor-friendly electronic beats. Most of the tracks center around a melody line from an organic source, usually piano, marimba or female vocals, bolstered and surrounded by expertly crafted synths, sweeps, and effects. Lots of long buildups & breakdowns, gradual progressions, and general electronic epicness. RIYL Jon Hopkins
Favorite Tracks: Impromptu [2], Mind Like A Diamond [5], Blue Shifter [7]
The consistently innovative hyperdub is still pushing boundaries in electronic music 10 years after its creation, originally as a blog about dub music's influence in the UK underground electronic music scene. 10.2 shies away from the bangers and focuses on tunes that lean more in a soul and R&B direction – featuring a variety of guest vocalists, notably Fatima and Ghostface Killah, over beats that blend influences from far corners of dance music, from the dream-electro-R&B of Jessy Lanza to Terror Danjah's booming hip hop/grime/post-dubstep production with Meleka's nostalgic UKG-style vocals.
Favorite Tracks: Burial - Shell of Light [2], Jessy Lanza - You And Me [9] Morgan Zarate - Sticks & Stones ft. Eska & Ghostface Killah [10], DVA - Just Vybe, ft. Fatima [11], Terror Danjah - You Make Me Feel ft. Meleka [12]
Dutch producer Martyn brings stripped-down, rolling four-on-the-floor dance grooves, on mostly 5-6 minute tracks that are supported by repeated melodic phrases, whose timbre changes over the duration of the track. Each tune is strong sonically & melodically, and Martyn's ear for subtle transitions, layering & detailed sound design shines through. The only drawback is that a lot of these beats may seem drawn out & repetitive to some radio listeners.
Favorite Tracks: Drones (4), Two Leads And A Computer (6), Forgiveness Step 2 (7)
Xeno & Oaklander are a Brooklyn-based duo who combine pulsating retro/electro analog synth beats in the vein of Kraftwerk with floaty, reverby female vocals to create a very effective false sense of nostalgia. Their whole aesthetic seems to be a kind of throwback to German & French pop music of the 80s (read: 99 Luftballons), with added influence from more modern minimal techno & house music.
Favorite Tracks: Sheen (3), Jasmine Nights (5), Nuage D'Ivoire
from his bandcamp: "On Ultraviolet, Sadistik closes his eyes tight and reaches out towards the peripheries of perception through introspection and psychedelic escapism, transcribing the vivid images crawling on the dark purple walls of his Seattle studio."
The strong imagery and creativity of Sadistik's lyrics, peppered with horror & sci-fi references, come together with deep, melodic & lushly layered beats for a cinematic, often epic feel.
Favorite Tracks: Cult Leader (1), Cubic Zirconia (5), Death Warrant ft. Sticky Fingaz & Tech N9ne (11)

(Originally appeared in the
Lunchtime News)
Leading personal computer manufacturers are concentrating on beefing up their
business product lines. Only days after GATEWAY 2000 (NYSE: GTW) decided
to get more serious about selling servers with the acquisition of ADVANCED
LOGIC RESEARCH (Nasdaq: AALR), COMPAQ COMPUTER (NYSE: CPQ) has
announced that it will get in the fault-tolerant computer business with the
purchase of a TANDEM COMPUTERS (NYSE: TDM). Houston-based Compaq will
purchase Tandem for approximately $2.6 billion in stock, exchanging 0.21
shares of Compaq common stock for each share of Tandem. Compaq slipped $1
3/4 to $105 this morning, while Tandem was up $6 1/4 to $21 1/4.
Compaq's ongoing transformation from a personal computer manufacturer to
a soup-to-nuts vendor for both personal and enterprise computer systems has
been occurred over a number of years. The addition of Tandem to the Compaq
fold gives Compaq a high-performance vendor of scaleable, fault-tolerant
systems that can run 24-hours a day. These systems are used for transaction
processing and other high volume, critical computer needs. Tandem's main
competitors include NCR CORP. (NYSE: NCR) and STRATUS (NYSE: SRA), with NCR probably the largest. Tandem seems well suited to Compaq because
the company is transitioning to an Intel/Windows NT architecture for its
computer systems, something that Compaq has a lot of experience with developing
and servicing.
Compaq's acquisition of Tandem gives it a product to sell to large companies
in search of processing intensive solutions. Compaq Chief Executive Eckhard
Pfeiffer believes that this acquisition has dramatically increased Compaq's
potential market, "Our total addressable market has been doubled to approximately
$650 billion." Compaq apparently does this at a relatively good price, as
it is buying Tandem for about 1.4 times sales. Pfeiffer stated that the merger
should be accretive to earnings immediately, meaning that Compaq will now
be able to earn more money with the addition of Tandem. Unfortunately for
Compaq shareholders, this may not change the published earnings estimates
because even as Tandem adds to earnings, the merger will be done as a
"pooling-of-interests," so Compaq will not be able to repurchase the stock
it announced it would a few weeks ago.

"We wanted to share our year with more than one experience. This is quicker than writing a letter and allowed us the ability to capture our mood and some of the things we love. It was easy to adapt even the greeting."
"Just received the cards and we are so happy with how wonderful they came out. I highly recommend these cards. However, this is one of the few cards on this site that don't allow you to change the colors or number of photos but it worked for what I was looking for - a total of 6 pictures on the card - so I couldn't be happier. Also, the paper quality was great. I wasn't sure what to expect since this was another thing that couldn't be changed/upgraded."
"It was nice, but definitely on the lower end of tiny prints products. I had a gift card otherwise I would've found something similar for half the price on another site."
"We send photo Christmas cards to close family and friends. I am a mom with two daughters and have done a variety of themes. This year is perfect! We vacationed in Costa Rica and have amazing photos to share. The Feliz Navidad card is perfect. It's not Halloween yet and I'm ready to send them out. Thank you for your wide selection and beautiful designs! It is worth the extra price to me over what Costco or CVS have to offer."
