Seems to have suppressed my appetite and I'm convinced this product has helped with my weight loss. I didn't have far to go, my diet was bang on and I exercised a lot. These have helped to get rid of the last bit, 2 of them taken twice daily with a high carb meal (porridge and rice).
Excellent really gives me a boost of energy over time
Love this product! This is the first time I have introduced this product into my training regime after doing a great deal of reading and research about it beforehand. I have been taking this is combination with my other supplements and have certainly began to notice a difference since taking them! I alternate my dose between training days so not over use it but to maintain taking it and so my body can process it. I will certainly be adding this product to my regular order as its great value for money not to mention the benefits that I'm seeing and feeling from it! Goes Well With:I take this in combination with CLA
Huge tablets - but can just be broken into smaller bits if needed. I've definitely noticed a difference in my muscle definition since taking these and going to the gym. Can act as an appetite suppressant too - which can help curb those cravings to snack!Goes Well With:CLA
Seem to do the job but my life are they hard to swallow!
I am aware that you have to be taking L Carnitine for up to 3 months to reap the benefits and start noticing any results but despite this I've noticed some more instant results having on these for just over a week... As a ballet dancer in training I find that I'm usually drained and low on energy during the long hour days spent dancing and in the gym however after taking these (usually after a carby meal or 30 mins before ballet class/gym session) I've found that I'm not so fatigued before starting my evening rehearsals and can actually make it to the end of the day without feeling like my limbs are going to fall off! I can't say whether this is due to this or the CLAs I've been taking along with them but either way I suspect these may have something to do with it! Taste is subjective so I don't want to go too much into it but I find that these pills have quite a sour/bitter taste so I have to swallow them quickly whilst trying to avoid them touching my tongue but other than that I don't have a problem taking them Goes Well With:CLA Loads of water
I am satisfied of this product, I take it before I start my workout 30 min and he helps me also in the days I don't have any energy! Goes Well With:I take it with water, I can't drink sweet stuff before and during the workout!
It's good, does it's work. For those who want to know it; The taste of the pill is good, you can swallow it.Goes Well With:Cardio
it's (L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate) and NOT Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) as they say in the profile. They don't want to fix this mistake. :( Search for the powder version if you need Acetil-L-Carnitine.Goes Well With:2 tablets on empty stomach between meals
Really gives you that edge when training, and improves focusGoes Well With:Carbohydrate
Awesome little thing! I take 2 caplets before starting my workout. I don't have too much excess, so I can tell you that I could see results from the very first use. Being a woman I am the master of turning carbs into bellyfat and it stands in the way of my sixpack. I know, I know, that's 90% up to the diet, but L carnitine really helps burning the fat quicker by helping the body use fat to produce energy. During my workout I feel hungry ages later and I can push my limits, sometimes I even do intervals before my cooldown at the end. And what many of us don't know: it only works if you are active, one could take 3 whole boxes of it, if they sit around in the office all day there would be zero effects.Goes Well With:Bcaa, slimming belt and weights. And any kind of activity, especially HIIT.
In view of the good reviews decided to buy and really wish I hadn't. Taken for just 3 days and have very sensitive feet /legs, awful light headedness and feeling of nausea with fever. Do not tske this product. I do not have health issues that might have brought on this reaction.
Good product Im first time using from myprotien And i thing its beat from others
Although it says unflavoured, it has a mild lemony taste. It is definitely not unpleasant. In fact, it makes it better! If you are afraid of taking tablets, you need not worry about this. Goes Well With:Anything
So far I had by results of it
Had some seriously bad side effects from taking this! Upset stomach, intense burning stomach ache and nausea. Didn't see any other reviews on here stating they'd had this effect but there were lots online, always read up carefully!
works really well once in your system.
in terms of effectiveness, I do feel like I gain something from taking these, but there is absolutely no need for the tablets to be as big as they are. It's an absolute mission to swallow these each day, and on more than one occasion I have ended up choking myself and coughing up the pill and water. And that's trying to swallow these individually. Come on MP - sort it out.Goes Well With:N/A
I am very happy with these pills, gives so much plus energie for workout and with a balanced diet and regular trainings it reay helps to losse weight.
Really good and high quality product for fat mass regulationGoes Well With:CLA
L Carnitine the main medical use is to oxegeante the blood after dialysis. For that reason its taken by Pro football teams and sports people to oxygenate the blood thus giving a better performance. Limited clinical trials have been undertaken, because its a generic product no money to be made so no investment in studying the effects in sports. But in medical terms it's a wonder suppliment and is great for cyclists.
Had some sub standard L Carnitine before and it worked well, so I thought I'd give myprotein's a go, and so far so good in terms of fat burning. The pills are a bit hard to swallow so if you struggle with taking pills try breaking them into 2, and has a weird taste even as unflavoured pills so try to just knock them back ASAPGoes Well With:2 pills just before/after breakfast and dinner
While they are big pills, they seem to do the job. I take them alongside BCAA Plus and thermopure before a workout and I've noticed a decrease in recovery time and an increase in energy and size since I started taking them all compared to exercise without. Will definitely continue buying all of them.Goes Well With:Thermopure and BCAA Plus
This product I have found really good, I found it difficult to shift those final few pounds but this gives me the boost I need. Tablets are a little big but washes down ok.
Seriously feel and see the effects are only 2 weeks using these. Great products and for a great price also. Don't know whether the tablet or powder version may have any difference in effectiveness but for me first time out taking for 2 weeks have seriously noticed a reduction in body fat which is the aim for my training(roughly from 13.5 to 11.5/12% . Recommend highly as possible. Goes Well With:I generally take them as follows 1 in the morning with CLA and Omega 369 tablets also. Generally just take with water or after my workout 2 tablet with 1 CLA with a carb/protein meal for the full proper use benefits
These tabs are seriously effective. Only taking now about 2 weeks and have already noticed a leanness that I have never seen before on myself. Taking 3 daily, 1 before I eat breakfast in the morning and 2 right after my workout with my post workout meal. Would genuinely recommend these tablets to anyone hoping to shed some fat right before the summer months now still easily done with good diet and these tablets on your side. Not hard to swallow and no bad flavour comes from them also. Definitely will be purchasing again Goes Well With:Post workout meal. And just take a gulp of water with these.
The L-carnitine capsules are very easy to swallow and do the job as described. Very good quality of the product make your goals easier to reach.Goes Well With:BCAA
I decided to give this a go.. recently. I've a very good diet and do a days weights and likewise Cardio. I'd lost a bit of weight and wanted this to accelerate it.. hard.to know of.it worked as I coupled it with CLA and thermopure .. All in all lean gains were good fat is down slightly. It does the it's job but needs a bit if help too. Best then first thing in the before you train with thermopure and a pre trainer. Then again in the afternoon.Goes Well With:Thermopure and CLA
I workout 6-7days per week for 3-4hrs in the gym for 4 days and at least 1 hr cardio daily. Diet pretty lean high protein but i was never into taking supplements apart from occasionally whey to save on meat. I was recommended by a friend cause wanted to get leaner. I found it started to work pretty much within a couple of weeks. Taken twice daily.
I don't usually have problems swallowing tablets but these are obscenely large and not easy to shift if they stuck on the way down! For that reason only, i wont buy these again. Goes Well With:A large gullet!
Have only been taking it for approximately two weeks, and I'm not sure whether this particular form of L-carnitine works. I've tried other forms and brands before, and saw great results though. The price for this is pretty nice!
Very good tablets doing me good would recommend.
Does the job, good value for money, pill size a bit too big but it's not an issue in the long runGoes Well With:Water
Been using this for two weeks to aid fat loss and muscle gain and have been seeing results already after having previously plateaued. I've noticed that since I've started taking these supplements twice a day at 1g (1 pill) the veins in my arms and legs are much clearer and I feel genuinely stronger. Goes Well With:Caffiene powders
The pills are devolving way too fast even in your mouth but they are effective and you can feel the difference after a few intakes. Very happy with the product.Goes Well With:Cla, green tea, fat burners, diets
Solid product made a difference and noticed it within a few weeks definitely ordering more when I run out .
Too big for me , it's hard to swallow, but you can snap it on a half. Well it's works! L carnitine gives me more energy for my workout.Goes Well With:Water
Great product. Quick delivery. Better to take it with your post-workout meal.
Effective for fat loss. I take it every morning and night. Goes Well With:Water
There is not many easy and affordable ways to add L-Carnitine into your diet but this is the closest. If only the L-Tartrate version came in powder form to make the price per serving less expensive. 2 grams (4 tabs) post workout with fast digesting carbs like dextrose will help with recovery and possibly aid some lean muscle gains too but mainly a recovery aid. Expensive to have 4-6 grams a day so you might want to use the Acetyl L-Carnitine variety as well. Jim Stoppani has a good article on usage and dosing etc. Large tabs but I personally chew them with a swig of dextrose and taste is nothing to be worried about. If you want to swallow them just use the chin tuck technique.Goes Well With:Fast digesting carbs are a necessity otherwise it will not be absorbed well
Good product, I feel I can go through a more intense workout and the next day I don't feel half as saw, clearly this stuff works, I'm very happy with this product and will continue to buy. Goes Well With:Water
I've never had an issue swallowing tablets but these are just too big and have sharp edges! They're about 2cm long and 1cm wide at the widest part. I've had tablets this big but they normally come in a smooth dissolvable casing. They obviously work because they get good reviews, so they just need to be a different shape and size.Goes Well With:A hammer. (Crush first)
They are easy to consume, the pills are not too big. I haven't used these long enough yet to notice any real difference.Goes Well With:A drink.
The tablets are very unfortunately far too large to swallow - they get stuck in the throat, causing a choking hazard. This is extremely disappointing. I have to dissolve them in water - and even then little bits get stuck. Goes Well With:Nothing really, because you can't swallow them!
I use this product for my clients in their fitness programmes to help them train harder. Feedback mostly is that their nails are whiter and stronger and spots clear up. Also they say they sweat more but don't get fatigued as much on resistance training. However I only recommend they take 1 before their work out 3-4 x per week and I do the same on my workout as I don't like to rely too much on supplements Downside is that the pills are huge and sharp on the edges so I snap them in half and smooth them down Goes Well With:Snapping them in half is usually easier to swallow
Goo product effective to push through hard workouts
Used this product for a while now and swear by it as an essential part of a lean gain stackGoes Well With:CLA, Green Tea extract, impact whey
I have been taking this product for a while and I love the energy boost it gives me however the pills are a bit on the large side and I struggle to swallow them which puts me off. Please make them smaller! Great price though.Goes Well With:A good gag reflex and a lot of water!
Only used the product for two weeks now, but have lost 5 lbs in that period. Could be down to the product, could not be. But will continue with it, certainly worth the experiment for the price.
it is a nice product especially combined with cla. I wrote the same thing as a review for cla. it doesn't have any taste really. the only bad thing with this tablet is the fact that it's big so it's a little bit difficult to swallow. Goes Well With:Cla

More on Michelle Obama in Seattle
Michelle Obama and Chris Gregoire, and about 1,600 of their supporters, raised an estimated $320,000 at the WaMu Theater at Safeco Field, the Associated Press reports.
As would be expected, Michelle Obama complimented Gregoire, who complimented Barack Obama, so everyone was pretty much in sync.
Shortly afterwards, the Gregoire campaign issued a statement denouncing the Republicans for their latest video (as seen here in an earlier Spin Control 2.0 post).

Meanwhile I helped Andreas merge other contributors' (old and new) pull requests to PAUSE. We also wanted to merge some of my old requests on the indexer, but decided not this time, until I add some tests to demonstrate issues more clearly for our exhausted eyes. (Actually, I had written their tests only for Parse::PMFile, a derivation of the PAUSE indexer. Mea culpa.)
I also addressed an issue on Test::PAUSE::Permissions raised previously by Karen Etheridge to prevent a maintainer in a large team from adding a new package to an established distribution accidentally, so that everyone in the team can upload the distribution without permission problems. This issue was also discussed briefly later at the hackathon, and Colin Newell has sent a pull request to PAUSE to fix it from another aspect.
Aside from PAUSE, I asked several people to update their distributions (makamaka for JSON::PP, Ricardo Signes for Email::Sender and Software::License, Sawyer for Dancer::Session::JSON, Chris Williams for Archive::Tar), and shipped two CPANTS-related modules (Parse::LocalDistribution and Module::CPANTS::Analyse). I also asked Karen to review the core CPANTS metrics, and added one on the META.json existence as an extra. I skipped most of the group discussions, except for Software::License and PAUSE.
As for CPANTS, I started refactoring the website and the analyzer before the hackathon. None of them have finished yet, but I'm hoping I can show you something within a week or so (after this national holiday week).

See Changes file in the distribution for other fixes and improvements.
This year, things went differently for me. I spent three days on porting PAUSE Web UI using Plack toolkit, and was able to actually see the result there.
Why ported?
Accoring to the history, the current form of PAUSE was (re-)written in 1999. As were serious web applications at that time, PAUSE was built on mod_perl version 1 and thus, Apache 1.3. Though PAUSE has still been running pretty steadily since then, both of its requirements have been retired for years (mod_perl 1 was last released in 2009, and Apache 1.3.42 in 2010), and it's getting harder for new contributors to install them, especially with newer compilers and newer perls. This was the main reason why I proposed porting.
Web UI of PAUSE is made with about 9000 lines of code, including HTML and sparse comments (excluding blanks). It may not be trivial, but it's not so big either. If it were my personal project, I wouldn't probably have hesitated to rewrite it from the scratch with a modern web framework.
However, I got to consider it better to keep my changes as little as possible instead (at least for this time). Partly because I wanted to lower migration cost for those who have actually been maintaining PAUSE, and partly because I wanted to avoid conflicts and/or cherry-pickings as Ricardo Signes had also started his hacks on PAUSE. So I set my goal just to drop mod_perl dependency and replace necessary parts with Plack equivalents.
With a kind consent for porting from Andreas König, I started looking into the actual code in the early morning on Day 2 (actually, I got up at three, that was ten in JST, not uncommon for me).
The first step to port a mod_perl application with Plack is to find a main (Perl content) handler (or handlers) to be converted into a Plack application. Shortly I found it in config.pm, in which a main (manager) object was created to do the rest (which means, this manager object could be easily replaced with a modern router/dispatcher).
Now I found an entry point, I created a local branch for prototyping, then a minimal app.psgi to pass a Plack::Request object to the main handler, and started dropping everything under the Apache namespace. I kept fixing issues I saw in the console until Plack server stopped complaining. In a few hours, all the Apache/Apache::Request objects including the ones in Apache::HeavyCGI (a mod_perl framework used in PAUSE) were roughly replaced with equivalent Plack::Request/Response objects, and almost everything became visible from a browser. Plack really rocks.
With a few more tweaks in PrivatePAUSE.pm (which you need to create to configure local paths and dsns etc), I also succeeded to run paused and mldistwatch (the PAUSE indexer) to fetch and index a locally uploaded tarball. An important trick was to set
$PAUSE::Config->{INCOMING} to a
file:// URI, which saved me from setting up a local FTP server.
After a short test, I created another (public) branch and repeated what I did in the morning but more cleanly. I wondered if I should release the ported version of Apache::HeavyCGI to CPAN or just put it into the PAUSE repository for now, and asked Ricardo for his advice. I renamed and pushed it into my branch as a starter. I called it a day when I finished redoing.
Day 3 was rather short because I couldn't help but fall back asleep after I woke up at three, and we stopped hacking a bit earlier to visit the Computerspielemuseum.
I started the day with porting authentication and session management. I wrote a wrapper for Auth::Basic middleware and let it use PAUSE's auth handler. I first thought I also needed to port a custom session manager PAUSE uses because of its name (Apache::Session::Counted), but with a closer look, it turned out unnecessary. An unfortunate thing was I had to replace a logger middleware because of an obscure error. I also attended (actually, listened to) the discussion of the day because one of the proposed topics was PAUSE version 2 optimized for maintainability.
On the last day, I set up an nginx proxy to see if PAUSE on Plack still works behind a proxy correctly. I also reviewed all the usage of "param" method because I vaguely remembered it had small incompatibility. I reread Apache configuration to add a few more Plack middlewares, and ported a fixup handler for index.html.
I asked Andreas to deploy my port on a staging environment so that we could fine-tune it under more realistic environment. We needed to fix a few more issues on Perlbal configuration and URL handling with the help of Peter Rabbitson, Slaven Rezić and Tatsuhiko Miyagawa. Finally we could make it live. We actually uploaded modules with it.
If you'd like to try, PAUSE on Plack still lives at https://pause2.develooper.com/pause/query as of this writing. You'll encounter an SSL warning because it uses the same certification as pause.perl.org. So, CAVEAT EMPTOR.
The following is a rough procedure to set up your local PAUSE on Plack:
Clone "plackify" branch
Plackify branch has not been merged into Andreas's master yet. So clone from my fork.
git clone https://github.com/charsbar/pause -b plackify
Install dependencies
Run cpanm --installdeps . or something equivalent. You might also need to install unzip, MySQL, SQLite3, gpg, rsync etc. with your system package manager.
Create databases
Schemata are found in doc/*.schema.txt (for MySQL), or doc/schemas/*.sqlite (for SQLite). As of this writing, you still need to use MySQL for various reasons. Add an admin user to authen_pause (and mod). Read doc/README for details.
Create PrivatePAUSE.pm
You need to create a module named PrivatePAUSE.pm to modify PAUSE configuration. It's safer to create it out of the cloned directory not to push it accidentally. Make sure perl can find it.
See $PAUSE::Config definition in lib/PAUSE.pm to find what to modify. You usually need to set (AUTHEN|MOD)_DATA_SOURCE_(NAME|USER|PW), and it's better to override email addresses not to send test mails accidentally. Setting ML_MIN_INDEX_LINES/ML_MIN_FILES to 0 is also important if you'd like to test with a small number of distributions (instead of whole CPAN).
Create necessary paths
Unless you have overriden everything above, you probably need to create a few paths, and change owner/permission for some.
Set up a proxy
PAUSE on Plack works without a proxy (in most cases), but it's usually better to set up one if you'd like to access via a browser.
Run some tests
This is not mandatory, but it's nice to run tests to see if your PrivatePAUSE is working correctly.
Start a server
Run plackup. Perldoc plackup for useful options. Run also paused/mldistwatch when you upload a tarball.
There are still things we can (or need to) do for PAUSE on Plack, such as writing tests for further migration, adding more middlewares for security, better static file serving, to name a few. I hope I can work on some at home by the next time.
Aside from porting PAUSE, I asked Neil Bowers for a few improvements on PAUSE::Permissions, replied to a ticket for Parse::PMFile posted by Olaf Anders (on Day 5 while I was in town), fixed an issue on Module::New suggested by Olivier Mengué, and fixed issues on DBD::SQLite.

Other notable changes since the last stable release follow:
See Changes file in the distribution for other fixes and improvements.
As one of the significant topics of the hackathon was PAUSE permissions, I started to add PAUSE permissions handling to the CPANTS analyzer (thanks to Ricardo Signes), and introduced a "no_unauthorized_packages" metric as an extra one. Because the PAUSE permissions index hasn't kept the date/time when one got or lost the permissions, this metric may return a different result from search.cpan.org in a rare case when a person who had necessary permissions and successfully released a distribution eventually lost the permissions. More fixes on permissions to come later.
I also started investigation required to implement a few more metrics/features including "has_abstract_in_pod" (which Neil Bowers explained me at the hackathon, and kindly gave me a code). I'm hoping I can bring some out by the next month (I haven't released a newer version of Module::CPANTS::Analyse yet, hoping to include these).
I fixed "package NAME BLOCK" handling in Parse::PMFile, which is derived from the PAUSE code and used in the CPANTS analyzer to extract package versions in a distribution (thanks to a report from Kent Frederic). The same fix has been merged into PAUSE.
One more tweak was done in Parse::PMFile (and PAUSE) to pay respect to the wit in Acme::Pi, which was released at the hackathon by Karen Etheridge, and Andreas König much appreciated her wit (so did I).
I finished migrating Twitter Bootstrap (which CPANTS is using now) from version 2 to 3, to make it easier to tweak the appearance of the site. This is mainly to address a color issue for some people. I started using colored glyphicons to show which metrics pass or not, but there may be a better way in this area. Heart characters in Unicode were referred at the hackathon, but unfortunately they are not always available to everyone. I'm looking forward to your ideas!
Discussion on gamification, and CPAN Dashboard by Neil Bowers gave me a lot of insights as well, though I haven't added anything extra for gamification nor new statistics yet. I also tried to explain what I did with Acme::CPANAuthors as an example. I hope it made some sense.
Aside from CPANTS, I failed to attend the discussion on DBI::Test at the hackathon. I only shipped yet another release candidate of DBD::SQLite there, and also new stable DBD::SQLite (1.42) after I came home. As of this writing, CPAN Testers haven't complained about it yet.
Lastly (but not least), I'd like to thank Philippe Bruhat and Laurent Boivin for organizing this great event (again!), Wendy van Dijk for food and liquors and more, the generous sponsors for allowing me attend from the Far East. Thank you.]]>
Here're notable changes since the last stable release:
Also, two significant changes have been made; one by us, and the other by the upstream.
The team decided to enforce "immediate transaction" for all the transactions unless otherwise configured. You'll likely see less database deadlocks when you use DBD::SQLite in a medium-to-larger web application. However, you might also see some performance penalty, especially if your software is almost read-only. If read concurrency really matters, set "sqlite_use_immediate_transaction" database handle attribute to false explicitly, and the "deferred" transaction will be used as was previously. You can set the handle attribute when you connect to a database like this:
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:SQLite::memory:', undef, undef, { AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0, sqlite_use_immediate_transaction => 0, # <- to defer transactions });
Another change that might possibly break something is query optimizer enhancement since SQLite 3.7.15 (i.e. since DBD::SQLite 1.38_02), which may sometimes make the result order of a SELECT statement without an ORDER BY clause different from the one of the previous versions. If your software (or, more probably, tests of your software) mistakenly depends on this arbitrary order, it will probably be broken with this change.
If you are not sure, issue "PRAGMA reverse_unordered_selects = ON" after you connect to a database. As the name suggests, this pragma reverse the result order of unordered selects to reveal wrong assumptions.
As for other fixes/changes/enhancements, see the "Changes" file in the distribution.
One last note. We have moved our repository to github.
Some of the new features follow:
Almost all the BackPAN distributions have also been analyzed.
You can subscribe your kwalitee report feed of your distributions (http://cpants.cpanauthors.org/author/PAUSEID/feed).
Finally Moose and friends are correctly considered as "use strict" equivalents, and new valid_signature metric is introduced (both have been implemented in Module::CPANTS::Analyse 0.86 months ago, but have not been introduced on the previous site for various reasons). On the other hand, some of the experimental metrics about debian packages are disabled because the data source has not been updated for a while.
If you find anything, tell me via github's issue tracker:
Happy holidays!
I also announce that I've unofficially set up a Module::CPANTS::* based site (http://cpants.charsbar.org/) to provide kwalitee data for acme.cpanauthors.org. As I found I would need significant changes at the first try (because the latest Module::CPANTS::Analyse doesn't correspond well with other Module::CPANTS modules, and they use old and deprecated ways of writing of Catalyst/DBIC), I tentatively set up a local repository and committed all the necessary changes there so as to hide all the dirty trial and errors. I'll move on to the public github repository when ready. So please be patient.
Compared to the transition from CPAN/CPANPLUS to App::cpanminus, PPM, which once used a remote API server but now downloads indices (summary) and store them in a local database, seems to be taking a different (or opposite) track. Its XML based spec is apparently old-fashioned (actually, the original Open Source Description spec, on which PPM spec was based, was deprecated years ago). And the one on the CPAN is way behind the one bundled in ActivePerl. Certainly it's not good for everyone.
However, ActiveState (and some other repositories) provides packages not only for perls for Windows, but also (threaded) perls for Linux and Mac OS X (and you can provide your own packages easily). If conditions are met, and you are a person who wishes to install modules with least hassles, or install the same modules into several or dozens of machines, PPM might be one of your options.
That said, there're several things we can/should improve now. I started writing a new PPM client (and an API server, which is not uploaded to anywhere but my dev server yet; I will create a public repository later, maybe after I refactor it a bit) so that you could use the latest PPM repositories even when you use other perls than ActivePerl. I also took over the maintenance of PPM::Make (to make a PPM repository), CPAN::Search::Lite (yet another CPAN search site with PPM support), and PAR::WebStart (to let CPAN::Search::Lite users to launch CPAN/PPM client from a page you visit via your web browser). If you have any issues, please let me know via RT or via email or via Github or whatever.
Thank you all in Taiwan. I really enjoyed OSDC this year. See you next year, or maybe in October in Japan :)

Verizon leaped into action today, adjusting the specs for the Droid X handset on their coming soon page. No longer listed as "720p screen", the phone now "captures 720p". It's nice to see the human touch here as people at Verizon are obviously paying attention to what the blogs and tech sites are saying.
Dara Parsavand
Bummer. I figured it was a mistake, but I was still hoping. Oh well, I stand by my claim that 1280×720 displays are useful at this size (if expanded a bit to 4.5", they are exactly the same DPI (326) as the new iPhone), but perhaps the power consumption numbers aren't quite there yet. But really, it shouldn't be that much harder than what Apple has achieved. Hopefully someone will offer one soon.
yup there will always human errors..
nice info..

While Information Security has existed for decades, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), as a formal and holistic practice, is much newer yet already has taken pre-eminence over its forebear. What is the CISO, who in many ways has toiled in invisibility, infamy, or ignominy to do when faced with the issue of being supplanted by the Chief Risk Officer, just as enterprise demand for and focus on security has reached all-time heights? Savvy CISOs will recognize this new, broader need for holistic visibility into, and management of, overall enterprise risk and will position themselves for success by looking beyond traditional information security boundaries and engaging business partners around all enterprise risk.

As mobile devices continue to proliferate, security becomes a bigger and more serious issue. While initial security threats were contained to data loss through lost and stolen devices, the leveraging of targeted cyber security threats has created a dual problem for carriers. The first is the PR nightmare of increasing public perception that mobile security breaches of all types are a carrier and not end user issue. The second is the threat that hundreds of millions of powerful connected devices represent to backbone carrier networks themselves. In this environment mobile providers must make investments in security technologies that protect the network from directed threats (from both known and unknown connections) and extend that protection bubble out to subscribers.
The 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report was released recently and declares 2013 the "year of the retailer breach", unsurprising given the attacks on Target, Michaels, Neiman-Marcus and other retailers. For the second year in a row the report shows retailers to be one of the most heavily attacked industry verticals and the new structure of the report shows that the number one channel of attacks was, by far and away, threats against and compromises of the PoS system yet for all that the report offers nothing more than old school, pat security solutions such as "Use AV", "Limit Remote Access" and "Segment the Network". While these are all fine techniques to apply to increase base level security stance, the time has come for retailers to get out of the security dark ages and begin to take cutting edge approaches that respect the increased focus bad actors are giving their businesses.

The breadth and depth of security threats that are targeting the modern enterprise are bordering on overwhelming, but they're not alone as the breadth and depth of security solutions are also bordering on overwhelming. When security managers have to respond to alerts and warnings from dozens of security systems, and CISOs have to make strategic decisions based on fragmented data, it's hard to argue that security is improving. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms that aggregate the vast quantities of data, correlate diverse events, and filter the signal from the noise are allowing enterprises to get back ahead of the curve and make appropriate tactical and strategic decisions.

Though Mobile Device Management (MDM) has become the de facto mobile computing security platform offering the ability to control devices, and contain critical data, only 50% of organizations have deployed an MDM platform. Not all MDM platforms are equal, nor are the needs of individual adopters. How then should the enterprise make the best of us of the selected tool, ensuring the right level of protection while avoiding the infringement of individual rights? The key to efficient and effective deployment is balancing the protection you need, the capabilities of the tool selected, and the demands to be placed on mobile users.
Over the last few years, as cloud and mobile technologies have taken hold within the enterprise, the concept of the network perimeter has dissolved, and with it the concepts around traditional network security. The broad scale adoption of IoT technologies however will make this first phase of network disaggregation seem trivial in comparison as enterprises begin to connect to not just thousands but millions of disparate and divergent endpoints. To ensure appropriate security in such a dispersed networking world and entirely new paradigm to security will be required that encompasses not just wildly diverse types of devices in wildly diverse locations, but the threat of low-powered, low complexity endpoints that have no internal capacity for monitored and managed security capabilities.

Cloud delivered computing services, whether Software, Platform, or Infrastructure as a Service offer the potential of significant business advantages such as reduced cost and increased flexibility. These advantages however come with very real risks, chief among them security concerns and the risk of data and compliance breaches – how do you secure what you can't see, touch, and control? Combining security solutions that are tied more closely to the data that is to be protected with more comprehensive monitoring and management platforms is the key to ensuring protection in a world where the cloud simply cannot be ignored.
From a technology standpoint, as a "society" the world of business has gone through two distinct stages in the evolution of its information security focus. The first addressed network based protection and preventative controls such as firewalls and anti-malware. The second looked at data-centric and detective controls such as encryption and intrusion/extrusion monitoring. Since breaches continue to occur at a record pace, what is need new is clearly a new evolution, one that pushes towards individual focused security through granular user monitoring and management as provided by solutions such as Identity and Access Management. While IAM isn't a new technology field, it is one whose time has come and CISO need to begin investing in modern-day, light-weight, easy to implement IAM solutions now to stay ahead of the curve, and reduce enterprise threats.
• The breach onslaught demonstrates that existing security solutions are incapable of defending current threats
• Enterprises need to begin looking at security from an activity perspective rather than an artifact perspective
• IAM provides activity insight, and therefore threat awareness, no other platform can equal

Cloud delivered computing services, whether Software, Platform, or Infrastructure as a Service offer the potential of significant business advantages such as reduced cost and increased flexibility. These advantages however come with very real risks, chief among them security concerns and the risk of data and compliance breaches – how do you secure what you can't see, touch, and control? Join our panel as we explore both the security and compliance issues inherent in Cloud deployments, look at the hidden issues that first time Cloud adopters may simply not be aware of, and discuss through solutions that can be used to address these challenges and allow enterprises to fully and firmly embrace the Cloud.
Building security into your enterprise processes, and integrating it with your existing technology investments has never been more critical or complicated than it is in this era of decentralized computing, and ever-tightening compliance requirements. Furthering this complication is the impact that partnering deals can have since infrastructure, applications, and even data may no longer be under your direct control. To be able to ensure efficient and effective security capabilities you need to understand the nature of the threats that exist today, the impact a sourcing relationship can have on these threats, and the mitigation strategies and tools key industry leaders are using to address the challenge.

In today's environment there can be no arguing that a comprehensive IT Security program is a de facto requirement for every organization. Such a program needs to address the full range of security threats that can be leveraged against an organization, needs to be integrated into whatever regulatory and governance requirements exist, but beyond that it needs to be accessible, consumable, and actionable by everyone that is influenced by it, or interacts with it. Building a program that is shared through social channels and relies on the collaborative input of employees and constituents for not only creation but enforcement will drive higher levels of adoption, responsiveness and, ultimately, protection.
When it comes to implementing network security infrastructure there are two schools of thought: use best-of-breed point solutions, or go with all round consolidated platforms. Pros and cons abound for either approach revolving around varying levels of protection, integration, and administrative overhead but the increasing complexity of current security infrastructure is showing a winning approach. Even though consolidated solutions may offer greater benefits in the long run, no one exists in a green-field situation when it comes to network and infrastructure security so careful planning is required to ensure the necessary protection.

The discussion around the convergence of physical security and information security dates back over a decade, but though much was made of the concept in the early 2000's little was actually done and the buzz faded. Flash-forward to today however and the buzz is back because of the increased focus on holistic risk management, the increased pressure of greater compliance requirements, and the increased demand for every aspect of the business to be a value generator. CISOs and CIROs need to evaluate the opportunities for both technology convergence (streamlining platforms) and organizational convergence (streamlining roles) to meet new threat protections mandates.

Volume, variety, velocity, veracity; all four of the hallmarks of Big Data have a clear fit in the world of security as the number of threats grows, their natures diverge, the speed with they are encountered (and subsequently have to be dealt with) accelerates, and the need to be ever more accurate enhances. As enterprises have made significant investments in Big Data programs and analytics platforms, they are beginning to reap real benefits in terms of business efficiency and innovation. The time then has come to begin applying those same principles and platforms to the security challenges facing enterprises to allow for faster, more effective overall security.

It may seem self-evident, but email is still the predominant form of business communication whether in B2B or B2C channels with business sending over 100 billion emails each and every day. Not all of this traffic is legitimate, desired, or safe however with estimates that as much as 90% of all email traffic can be considered spam or worse. In this environment businesses need to ensure that the email they send is viewed as trustworthy, and that the mail they receive is safe of threats. To do this email authentication is imperative and DMARC, Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance is the gold standard. While DMARC policies are published to public DNS servers and already protect up to 60% of mailboxes for the most part these are public mailboxes from consumer email providers and many business are still on the outside looking in. Savvy IT Leaders know that they need to leverage commercial solutions that streamline DMARC management for their own email infrastructure to ensure they are protected from threats, and able to communicate with partners, clients, and prospects.
For years the security focus of the enterprise was to build a hardened perimeter at the edge of the network, an impenetrable shell that kept the good out and the bad in. Over the last few years this model has fallen by the wayside. Technologies such as Cloud and Mobility have pushed the enterprise beyond its traditional perimeter while increased levels of partnership have created inroads through that shell. As a result, infrastructure based security is no longer sufficient or appropriate and enterprises everywhere are having to make the shift to a new security paradigm, one that is centered on the data itself, not on the infrastructure that houses it.

While security breaches are certainly nothing new, their visibility is increasing and as it increases it places increased pressure on the enterprise to set themselves up for success. To do this, then, is it time to (re)consider the reporting structure of the information security group and the CISO directly? Though these roles have grown up under the umbrella of IT as a whole, in many ways the responsibilities run parallel to those of general IT and forcing them into a reporting structure where they are secondary potentially compromises the opportunity for the CISO, and the information security group, to achieve the success demanded by the enterprise. Has the time come for the CISO to rise in stature and become a peer to the CIO rather than a direct report?
There's no other way to say it than bluntly; Information Security is a white-hot field within Information Technology as a whole – over the last dozen years it has gone from after-thought, to scapegoat, to critical enterprise success factor. As a result, the need for capable and qualified Information Security specialists, whether front-line Analysts, mid-level Managers, or top level CISOs is at an all-time high, but personnel and skills availability is sinking to an all-time (at least in terms of supply and demand ratio) low. There simply isn't enough expertise in existence to go around, or enough education occurring to create it. In this environment, senior Information Security leaders are having to get creative in their pursuit of the people, performance, and passion necessary to address this capability shortfall.

Best practice in most enterprises, at least as far as the CIO and CISO goes, is to squash Shadow IT wherever it is encountered. Shadow IT, the argument goes, leads to a world of data and integration problems for the IT department, and significant amounts of unknown and unquantifiable risk for the information security group. A small but vocal minority however is beginning to advocate for Shadow IT as a catalyst of innovation, citing the increases in productivity and creativity by allowing enterprise staff to find their own out of the box solutions to organizational problems. CISOs can allow their organizations to have their cake (Shadow IT) and eat it too (still be secure) by following a few simple steps that allow them to build in security regardless of user activity.

For many years the CIO, has struggled with the concept of IT-Business alignment and finding ways to ensure that the IT department and the Lines of Business with which it integrates have a common understanding and ability to communicate. Now, as the CISO and the information security department grow out of the IT shadow, they increasingly find themselves in the same position. Their challenge however is greater in that the concepts of IT security are in many ways more abstract than those of generalist IT, and their activities often run counter to the goals of the rest of the organization. CISOs must learn for the trials and tribulations of the CIO and the IT department, and find common ground with the business, to ensure they can hear what their partners are saying, while communicating their own points in understandable terms.

More and more C-level executives are realizing that cyber security is not just an IT function given the far-reaching and direct impact that cyber security threats can have on current and future business operations. As is evidenced in recent reports from security providers such as Mendicant, McAfee, SentinelOne and others, cyber espionage attacks by APT actors are breaching organizations both large and small, public and private. Whether the objective is Intellectual Property (IP), M&A information, financial records, or other business-sensitive protected data losses can result in significant brand, reputation, and financial impacts. To counter these risks, CISOs need to realize that traditional security techniques are insufficient, and that a new tier of security solutions are required to defend against the APT attack.

In many ways ERM, or Enterprise Risk Management, has become just another buzz word that is bandied around without any clear understanding of its meaning, any clear understanding of its value, or any clear understanding of how it can be achieved. ERM is not a project or a task on a list to be checked off. Instead it is a fundamental change in how an enterprise approaches the way it conducts its business to ensure that all possible impacts to its capital and earnings are identified, quantified, and mitigated. Such a sweeping paradigmatic shift isn't something that can be taken on lightly and enterprises seeking to just place a check mark next to a to do list line item will be sorely disappointed in their results.
Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigation Report has recently been released, and the statistics, as they pertain to the public sector are nothing less than staggering as public entities reported over forty-seven thousand security incidents. A significant reason for this is US government agency reporting requirements that demand the reporting of even minor incidents, rules that other organizations do not have to comply with. More telling is that only Financial Services organizations suffered more incidents with confirmed data loss than various public entities. The messaging then is clear; the public sector is under sustained and concerted attack, and the need to take action has never been stronger. Join us as we discuss the nature of the challenges that afflict the public sector and explore strategies for dealing with the tidal wave of attacks.

As with all things in life, the focus on how to conduct enterprise security ebbs and flows between varying degrees of reactivity and proactivity. In the old school "Security 1.0" world, where the focus was almost completely on network security, efforts were in general proactive in nature with firewalls and anti-malware seeking to prevent threats before they even occurred. This didn't work so well and so "Security 2.0" focused on reactivity, wrapping things like encryption around the data so that even if a breach occurred, the loss would be mitigated. Yet breaches, and losses, continue to occur. So if primarily proactive security doesn't work, and if primarily reactive security also doesn't work, how then do we find the right balance between the two to find a security posture that does work?

Social media is the least hyped and potentially least adopted of the so-called disruptive technologies, at least by enterprises in general. This doesn't mean that employees are embracing these tools personally however, nor does it mean that enterprises should continue to avoid them. The fact of the matter is social platforms allow for incredible levels of interaction that when harnessed can lead to significant creativity and productivity gains allowing enterprises that adopt and encourage the use of social collaboration platforms to be more successful than their non-social peers. But every newly adopted technology brings with it unique problems and so it is the CISOs job to provide the secure landscape within which this social collaboration, both internal and external, sanctioned and not, can occur.
Of all the risk management issues that present themselves to the modern-day CISO, perhaps the most difficult to address is that of privacy. In and of itself, privacy is no different a challenge than protecting any other sensitive information, however the multi-jurisdictional impacts of the issue due to wildly differing laws between the US and European countries (as well as Canada, another country with strong privacy laws) make this an issue that is often times overwhelming to address. CISOs must work diligently to ensure that their privacy efforts conform with the standards of any jurisdiction with which they might work, where their data might be held and this is an almost overwhelming task.

Since regulatory (and industry) compliance became a notable "thing" in the early-mid 2000's it has been intimately linked with information security and often times has been the lever (or hammer) by which enterprises made necessary investments in security. But being "compliant" and being "secure" aren't the same thing, and in too many cases enterprises that were perfectly compliant have been perfectly breached. A new focus is needed; one that respects that while security and compliance are not the same thing, they are working towards the same goal (a reduction in overall enterprise risk exposure) and sees that compliance flows from security.
As enterprise IT is increasingly being delivered by mobile computing platforms, the nature of security threats, as well as the manner in which security is delivered is changing. Mobility pushes computing well beyond the traditional network perimeter meaning not only are new security paradigms are required to protect devices and data from direct threats, but the network itself from threats leveraged through those devices. While traditional security measures aren't dead, by themselves they are certainly no longer sufficient, and IT departments must invest in new technologies, new processes, and new approaches to ensure sufficient levels of enterprise protection.

The importance technology plays within an enterprise will only continue to gain momentum as more developers, engineers, and programmers enter the workforce. As these segments continue to grow, so does the diversity of the workforce within the technology field. For a field that is severely constrained by a talent and skills gap, this influx of bodies can only be a good thing. Beyond the basic ability to deliver of identified capabilities a diverse workforce, whether cultural or gender influenced offers a whole that is more than the sum of the parts. Finding ways to drive and increase diversity in IT then should be a key focus for every IT executive.

User Stats

User Bio
Morgan Park Academy is the South Side's small-scale independent school for real learning, with small classes, approachable teachers, and down-to-earth students who learn best when they see how their learning can go beyond the boundaries of classroom, campus, neighborhood, and even city to influence the wider world.
We focus on:
Small, discussion-based classes: With an average class size of fewer than 15 students, we encourage full-voiced participation and safe intellectual risk-taking, giving every student the opportunity to speak up and stand out.
Approachable, relatable teachers: Our teachers invite dialogue, infuse relevance into lessons, and forge meaningful connections with students because they know real learning takes real relationships.
A spacious, self-contained campus quad: Our inward-facing quad, ringed by ivied brick buildings, creates outdoor space for study and play, along with opportunities for regular interaction.
An experiential curriculum: All students learn best when they apply concepts to real life. So we've designed our curriculum to take students outside the classroom to explore and experiment.
A perspective-widening, global focus: We show our students the world. Scores of MPA students travel abroad each year, and on campus we interpret events and ideas in their larger, global context, challenging students to step outside their comfort zones and their zip codes.
Morgan Park Academy graduates emerge as confident young adults, original thinkers, and creative problem solvers who have seen their hard work pay dividends, possessing a keen interest in the interwoven cultures, challenges, and opportunities of our complex world. They progress into the next stages of their lives well-prepared for advanced college coursework and poised to meet and exceed the high expectations they refined at MPA.

Mental illness raised no flags | Sept. 18
Programs for mentally ill needed
There was an eye-opening article by Steve Forbes in Forbes magazine earlier in the year (and still available online) recalling that 50 or so years ago there were federal programs to care for the severely mentally ill. This included mental hospitals as well as outpatient treatment.
The same reality was referred to by a psychiatrist being interviewed on PBS last week, again pointing out that there is no logic behind rampage killing by schizophrenics and others severely out of touch with reality.
In the absence of these programs, disturbed individuals have no place to go but the streets, and society occasionally pays the price.
Mark E. Reinecke, M.D., St. Petersburg
Missing in action | Sept. 19, editorial
Picture tells the story
I have lived in St. Petersburg for over 18 years, and if there's one thing I can't understand it's all of the wasted newspaper and other media space spent on pointing fingers at who or what is responsible for the failure of our local baseball team to attract an audience large enough to be financially self-supporting. Tens of thousands of words have been written by the Times blaming St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster's ineptitude, the poor location of Tropicana Field, its inappropriate design, the economy, and the unfair contractual arrangement between the Rays and the taxpayers.
But none of these words speak quite as loudly and quite as clearly as the picture of 637 empty seats surrounding the 13 lonely Rays fans on page 10A of the Times: "We are the citizens and the taxpayers of St. Petersburg, and we are not interested in supporting a professional baseball team."
We do not need another statistical study, nor more articles lambasting Foster. And we certainly don't need more political posturing from the City Council. Take another look at those empty seats, people. They have all the information you'll ever need.
Philip A. Bellefleur, St. Petersburg
Slow down insurance rate hikes Sept. 18, editorial
Florida's silent senators
As Florida braces for "Hurricane" Biggert-Waters, Florida Sens. Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio are AWOL. Nelson is too busy grabbing pythons in the Everglades. Rubio is too busy raising campaign funds for a possible presidential run.
Louisiana's two senators, David Vitter and Mary Landrieu, took part in and asked questions at a Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs subcommittee hearing on the Biggert-Waters act.
Implementation of this act is going to devastate 80,000 Pinellas County policyholders. Many folks on fixed incomes who have flood policies will not be able to afford their premiums. This will cascade into falling home values, abandoned properties and closing businesses.
We need our Florida senators to gather a sense of urgency and get to work. Stop or postpone implementation of this terrible act.

Governor welcomes health care law's jobs Sept. 19
Political allegiance
Did I miss something? I was puzzled when Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn welcomed the GOP convention with open arms, but I chalked that up to being polite and hospitable.
I was dubious when I read that he was a headliner in Attorney General Pam Bondi's ill-fated, tone-deaf kickoff campaign fundraiser.
However, in light of Buckhorn's lavish praise of Gov. Rick Scott despite all the damage the governor has done to the state, I must have missed the announcement that the mayor has switched political parties.

Clearing Obamacare hurdles Sept. 15, Robyn Blumner column
Top-down disaster
While I join Robyn Blumner in supporting the goal of universal coverage, the issue is not the intentions of the Affordable Care Act but rather its utterly incompetent and inefficient means.
Instead of focusing on harder questions of increasing system capacity and reducing cost per unit of care, Obamacare makes massive promises but does not take into account human behavior or incentives. It is a cataclysm of top-down, unintelligent mangling of our admittedly broken health care system. It is the equivalent of lowering a Ford engine into a GM truck.

GOP leads House vote to cut back food stamps | Sept. 20
Cut foreign aid first
Someone help me make sense of this. The Republicans want to eliminate benefits for nearly 4 million Americans to reduce dependence on government programs. Aren't the billions of dollars in aid America sends to other countries a "government program"? Maybe the Republicans should start there first instead of constantly trying to bring American citizens to their knees.

Now the question:
For now I'm studying Python I would like some advice on which one (or more) little game could do (nothing pretentious) without the use of library
Thanks at all

Define "without the use of library". PyGame is well suited for producing 2d games, but I suppose if you wanted to stick with things provided in a typical Python distribution that you could write some text based console games.
Here are some ideas:
1. Guess the number. Generate a random number between 1-10 and have the player attempt to guess the number. If the guess was too high then tell the player that they guessed too high. If the guess was too low then tell the player that they guessed too low. If they guess the answer correctly then they win. If after three guesses they do not guess the correct answer, then they lose.
2. Nim
4. A text adventure game such as Zork.

Arizona Diamondbacks' Pitching Woes Continue in Blow-Out Loss to New York Mets
D-backs reliever Brad Ziegler was less than stellar last night in Flushing.
Photo by Jim Louvau
The Arizona Diamondbacks' relief pitching blew once again in Tuesday night's 9-1 loss to the New York Mets.
If D-backs fans thought they would easily win in the series against the lowly Mets, they would be sadly mistaken after last night's game.
Arizona's pitching, as usual, fell apart in the seventh inning. On a rainy New York night, Patrick Corbin (9-1, 2.49 ERA), who pitched an almost perfect first six innings, was the first Diamondbacks' pitcher to collapse.
With the score tied at 1-1, Corbin quickly allowed a RBI double and then loaded the bases without recording an out. After the light drizzle became a downpour, the umpires finally stopped play, but unfortunately for the D-backs, play would resume an hour and 41 minutes later, and Corbin would end up taking his first loss of the year.

Brad Zeigler (4-1, 2.75) took the mound after the rain delay and would not fare much better than Corbin. Zeigler allowed a couple singles, which plated three runs and then a two-run double before Kirk Gibson took him out of his misery and put in Will Harris (1-0, 1.93). Harris made up lost time for not being apart of Monday night's debacle, and allowed the seventh and final run of the inning to score.
While Arizona's pitchers were floundering in the rain, the Mets' pitchers were dominant. Besides for Martin Prado's tomahawk chop that resulted in his seventh homerun of the year, the D-backs provided little offense for their hapless pitching staff.
Jeremy Hefner (3-6, 3.54) gave up just one run in seven innings of work, while striking out six batters. And unlike the Diamondbacks' bullpen, the Mets' bullpen knows how to close out a game, as they held the D-backs to just the one run.
After the loss, a Diamondbacks starting pitcher has not recorded a win since Wade Miley defeated the Cardinals on June 5, 24 games ago; this is the longest such streak for any MLB team since 2006. The loss also extended the D-backs losing streak to a season-high five games. Despite Arizona's woes, the D-backs have still managed to hold a 1 ½ game lead over the Colorado Rockies in the NL West.
The Diamondbacks will play the Mets again Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Arizona will send Randall Delgado (0-2, 4.05) to the mound against rookie sensation Matt Harvey (7-1, 2.00).

MILAN — Steady growth, aided by a leap in the fourth quarter, and gains across all geographic markets helped two leading Italian luxury brands post higher revenues in 2010.
This story first appeared in the January 27, 2011 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Propeled by an expansion of its footwear category, Tod's SpA hit the $1 billion mark, posting preliminary sales of 787.5 million euros, or $1.03 billion, in 2010, up 10.4 percent compared with the previous year. In particular, revenues grew 16.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
A strong rebound in the watch category and continuous growth of its jewelry and accessories divisions boosted Bulgari Group's revenues last year, which grew 15.4 percent to 1.06 billion euros, or $1.4 billion, compared with 926.6 million euros, or $1.28 billion, the previous year. In particular, Bulgari posted a 20.5 percent increase in the fourth quarter.
"These sales results are highly satisfactory overall, and represent a record fourth-quarter turnover in the history of the company, thus confirming the recovery we had already noted in the previous quarters," said Francesco Trapani, chief executive officer of Bulgari.
Likewise, Diego Della Valle, chairman and ceo of Tod's, said sales in 2010 "have experienced a continuous acceleration of their growth throughout the year, with an excellent Christmas season." Della Valle said he was "confident that full-year profitability will also be strong. Furthermore, on the back of the positive results of the spring-summer 2011 collection orders, I also believe that the current year will deliver outstanding results."
The Tod's brand registered sales of 407 million euros, or $537.2 million, last year, up 16.7 percent from 2009. During the fourth quarter, it grew 27.3 percent. Hogan sales gained 4.4 percent to 268.3 million euros, or $354.1 million. Apparel brand Fay saw a 2.2 percent decline in sales to 89.7 million euros, or $118.4 million, while the Roger Vivier brand grew 45.3 percent to 21.7 million euros, or $28.6 million.
Footwear was once again the leading category for the group, showing an 11.6 percent increase in 2010 and reaching sales of 564.6 million euros, or $745.2 million. Leather goods and accessories rose 10.6 percent in the full year and 35 percent in the fourth quarter. Apparel grew 4.3 percent in 2010.
Sales in Italy gained 5.1 percent to 425.7 million euros, or $561.9 million, and 8.6 percent in the rest of Europe, reaching 163.7 million euros, or $216 million.
Revenues in the U.S. rose 15 percent to 53.4 million euros, or $70.5 million. In particular, that market showed a 23 percent spike in the fourth quarter. Asia and the rest of the world grew 30.5 percent to 144.7 million euros, or $191 million in 2010, registering a 65 percent jump in the last quarter. Tod's cited China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea as the best-performing areas.
Dollar figures were converted from the euro at average exchange for the periods to which they refer.
Bulgari certified a "definitive recovery" in all product categories and geographic areas, underscoring the company's performance in Japan and Greater China.
In 2010, jewelry, the group's core business, rose 21.4 percent to 488.4 million euros, or $644.7 million. Watches gained 1.3 percent, reaching sales of 214.9 million, or $283.6 million, but the category showed 7 percent growth in the fourth quarter, after three weak periods. Accessories grew 34.7 percent during the year, while perfumes, Bulgari's second core category, rose 12 percent.
Sales in Europe rose 5.9 percent, accounting for 34.8 percent of revenues. Asia saw a 24.1 percent rise, accounting for 45.5 percent of total sales — the biggest market for Bulgari. The U.S. grew 23.5 percent, making up 13 percent of total revenues. In particular, Japan progressively improved each quarter, gaining 24.9 in the fourth quarter. Greater China and the rest of Asia grew 47.3 percent and 48 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter.

Sneak Peek: 2006 BMW 3 Series
Changes coming for one of America's favorite sedans
Page 1: Intro
Just when you thought it was safe to buy that 2004 3 Series, here comes another – a significant 2006 refresh to the German automaker's bread and butter car that reportedly includes evolutionary styling changes, more interior space and a power boost.The secret's out, thanks to a wayward brochure of the next 3 Series – and we now know what BMW has planned for one of America's favorite entry luxury sedans. Two of the photos, shown here, illustrate how BMW plans to evolve their current vehicle design – especially the controversial rear tail. Note the more subtle touch to the rear tail of the vehicle. The '06 3 Series also carries with it changes to the headlights and what looks like a larger kidney grille.
