Drugmaker Akorn (AKRX) is shaping a cup-type base with a possible 26.26 entry. Its best-possible 99 Composite Rating puts it among the leaders in the highly ranked Medical-Ethical Drugs industry group, which includes IBD Leaderboard stock Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX).
Akorn has risen for two straight weeks as it nears the buy point, though volume has been weak.
Bankrate (RATE), which provides online information about financial products such as mortgage loans and credit cards, is also working on the right side of a cup-type base. The potential buy point is at 23.24, though it may still form a handle.
The stock's 96 Composite Rating and 88 Earnings Per Share Rating put it in the upper tier of the Internet-Content group, which on Thursday ranked fifth out of the 197 industries tracked by IBD. Leaderboard stock Facebook (FB) tops the group.
Bankrate's stock soared 20% Feb. 14 after Q4 profit climbed a better-than-expected 183% to 17 cents a share on a 31% bump in revenue.
WuXi PharmaTech (WX), a provider of biotech and pharmaceutical research, is just 2% shy of a flat-base buy point of 38.79.
The company is due to report Q4 earnings March 5. Profit is expected to rise 21% to 46 cents a share, down from gains of 39% and 31% in the prior two quarters. Revenue is seen rising 24% to $155.76 million
Power Solutions International (PSIX), which makes low-emission, alternative fuel power systems for forklifts and other industrial equipment, has cleared its 10-week line as it tries for its fourth-straight weekly gain.
Power Solutions is shaping the right side of a cup-type base. FBR Capital initiated coverage of the stock Wednesday with an outperform rating. The company will report Q4 results Feb. 27 after the market close. Profit is expected to rise 24% to 21 cents a share.

Local Swimming Star Makes Waves
Which Breezy Point resident has won eight gold and one silver medal in swimming, is a track and field star, met Mayor Giuliani and still finds time to deliver The Wave? Well, if you haven't guessed yet, his name is Kurt Cedo. Kurt, a 14 year old who lives with parents Peggy and John, brothers Jonathan and Drew, and dog Angel, just participated in the New York State Special Olympics Summer Games the weekend of June 17-19 and is headed to North Carolina to represent the United States in aquatics at the 1999 Special Olympics World Games.
Originally swimming "just for fun," Kurt says that he started competitive swimming at age 12. He started swimming with the Cross Island YMCA in Bellerose when he was five, under the direction of Jean Dattner and Jacquie Soulier. Now practicing everyday, Kurt has been coached by Pete Scala for the past three years.
This eighth grader, who plans to attend Xaverian High School in the fall, earned the rank of Tenderfoot in Boy Scout Troop 81, receiving badges for life saving, water safety, and mile swim. Kurt has won first place in the Ralph Hartman Disabled Ski Competition, one silver and one bronze medal in track and field, has taken scuba diving lessons, and likes to play basketball and soccer (his coach is Jim Adams, local school board member). Weight lifting is also on Kurt's activities list, saying that he will "keep on doing it because it helps me swim better."
Kurt will be heading to Chapel Hill, North Carolina from June 26 to July 4 to participate in the Special Olympics World Games. The National Guard will be flying Kurt and the other members to the competition. Kurt expressed his excitement about the competition when he said he "thinks its fun" and focuses on "beating my own time" instead of being the best or winning medals.
There is much more ahead for Kurt Cedo. He is heading to the U.S. Youth Games in Alabama at the end of the summer to represent New York City, under the direction of coach Bob Green, a Belle Harbor resident. He also will be joining the Xaverian freshman swim team. Kurt is excited about his future and plans to keep swimming because he wants "to be a champion and set a good example for other kids."

Make the IT People Smile: A Hypervisor StoryNovember 01, 2010
Virtualization Review
by Bruce Hoard
It could be said that Unidesk President and CEO Don Bulens is in a rut: starting up a new company, cashing out, starting up another company, cashing out… and so it goes. He's done it five times so far, if you count launching the Notes business out of Lotus.
Of course, as ruts go, this one has been pleasantly profitable, and the entrepreneurial Bulens looks just fine for a guy who's been putting in beau coup hours on and off for more years than he probably cares to remember.
For the record, he was a major player in the start-ups of Radnet, a collaborative Web applications company; Trellix, a Web-publishing tools firm founded by Dan Bricklin; EqualLogic, a high-end enterprise storage company; and, most recently, Unidesk, which is in the business of desktop virtualization management. (By the way, Dell acquired EqualLogic for a cool $1.4 billion in 2008, so you do the math.)
Bulens talks of three challenges he's faced each time he shifts into start-up mode. The first is engineering a product that's "good enough" to satisfy at least a subset of what might be a long-term audience. The second is establishing a go-to-market strategy that calibrates pricing-to-value, distribution, customer relationships and the proper balance between professional services and ease of use. Addressing the third challenge, Bulens says: "This is probably what becomes the most essential of all—a lifelong journey around making sure the team is comprised of the kinds of people who can help the company be successful, and who are passionate, purposeful and aligned with the vision of what the company is all about."
When asked to recall mistakes he's made along the way, he takes a moment to contemplate before declaring: "In all the companies I've been involved with, there have been painful decisions that we delayed or didn't act upon where there were people who weren't the right fit—even if they were experts in their craft."
The good news, he says, is after you "act on those misalignments," there's a tremendous boost of productivity and spirit among the ranks that has a measurable impact on how the company operates.
Bulens is turned on by the notion of simplifying a task that's typically complex. Notes made it simple to develop collaborative applications, Trellix simplified Web publishing, EqualLogic reduced the complex job of managing datacenter storage, and Unidesk is all about simplifying the "tedious and thorny" challenges of managing PCs in the new world of desktop virtualization—or, as Bulens puts it: "We're capitalizing on the new platform capabilities of hypervisor-based desktops to try to make an industry."
He also subscribes to a second notion, which is ensuring that the product experience and entire culture of the company are based on creating the best possible customer experience: "customer delight," in Bulens's words. He also wants to "make the IT people smile" at customer companies, because that creates "tremendous customer advocacy and passion." That positive sentiment is evident in Unidesk's 14 customers and in the dozens of customers who are in the middle of pilots.
Given the scale of the success of EqualLogic, it's not surprising that Bulens cites it as his most-outstanding start-up experience—but he reveres those memories for more than just the money. He remembers that people thought the new team was "crazy" when they initially described their plans. "It takes special people to envision these things," he says. "With EqualLogic, in a week we decided we wanted to work together because we liked each other."

Taking the Fight to ISIL
The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which just rebranded itself the Islamic State and now controls significant parts of Iraq and Syria, presents the U.S. with both a security threat and a policy dilemma. In Iraq, fighting ISIL means helping the government put down a Sunni rebellion. In Syria, fighting ISIL means helping a Sunni rebellion fight the government.
The only constant here is fighting ISIL. It's this context that best explains President Barack Obama's request to Congress for $500 million to arm and train Syria's opposition. The aid may or may not be a breakthrough in the quest to end Syria's brutal civil war, but it certainly offers the U.S. a way to fight ISIL outside the political complications of Iraq.
Obama's request backs up his pledge last month to "work with Congress to ramp up support" for opposition fighters. It puts the U.S. military, rather than the Central Intelligence Agency, in charge -- thus raising the profile of American involvement and inviting greater congressional oversight. And, critically, it could push back against ISIL.
After two years of lower-level support for the opposition -- including some clandestine training and arming efforts -- the U.S. should be able to identify teams to trust with anti-aircraft missiles to take out the Syrian helicopters and aircraft that have been killing fighters and civilians. U.S. officials worry that such weapons might fall into the hands of terrorists. That risk exists, but no one is talking about passing out Stingers as if they were party favors, as the CIA did with more than 2,000 missiles in Afghanistan.
The fighting between moderate and extremist opposition groups in Syria has until now made it harder for them to take on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. At this point, however, ISIL has grown into a problem at least as large as Assad, the moderate Sunni fighters need U.S. assistance more than ever, and they are in a position to help undermine ISIL's regional ambitions.
Time, regrettably, is on the side of the extremists. In the past two years, since Obama first rejected a full arm-and-train program for moderate rebels, jihadist forces in Syria have multiplied. Already, recent events in Iraq are spilling back into Syria, as rival Sunni Islamist radicals who had been fighting ISIL there switch sides to join the winners.
Iraq's Shiite prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, frustrated by delays in delivering either U.S. aircraft or airstrikes against ISIL, has turned to Iran and Russia for help, creating the same lineup of forces as for Assad across the border.
No one should be under any illusions, of course, about how challenging the situation remains in Syria. Just as the administration made its announcement, for instance, Syria's opposition disbanded the military command of the Free Syrian Army over corruption allegations.
That means U.S. aid will have to be delivered carefully, and in timely fashion. Congress should act quickly so funding is available on Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year. This is the chance for congressional critics who have sniped at the administration for not doing enough to put their votes where their mouths are.
To bring Congress along, the administration will have to explain its plans in greater detail. Perhaps officials are reluctant to discuss what kind of lethal equipment the administration intends to provide. Now, with Congress more involved and the higher stakes that have come with Iraq's near-collapse, that sort of reticence just won't do.

Bullhorn: Tea Party Leader Says Post-Primary, Questions for Winning GOP Candidates
With just over 40 days until November 2nd, the battle between upstarts in the Tea Party and the established GOP is over. In New York, Democrats had mostly uncontested seats, and the few with a contest saw wins for incumbents hovering at 30 percent margins or better. There's no denying this state is blue.
Here's the question now: can the chosen candidates win the general? The Paladino win over Lazio for the Albany throne was shocking to some but not completely unforeseeable. For years, the New York GOP has been a failed establishment at the county and state levels. Instead of growing and grooming credible candidates from lower seats they have stuck to the good old boy network.
Paladino captured the anger and frustration of many New Yorkers looking for change—any change—from what they saw as the status quo. Rick Lazio ran a lackluster campaign, once again proving that he is not ready for primetime.
There is little doubt that Paladino is an unguided missile. As he puts it, he is not politically correct and he has clearly given the GOP a needed gut punch. Now he faces the uphill battle against Andrew Cuomo and legacy politics. There is a possible benefit from the Paladino energy. He could energize voters in the lower races to vote Republican.
All this drama aside, candidates have been describing the problems facing New Yorkers and Americans, but they have not done a very good job of communicating how they will do something about these problems. Just like in a job interview New Yorkers now want candidates to demonstrate ability.
Much was made of the Ground Zero Mosque issue in the past several weeks and that taken the air out of the discussion on the state's economic woes. The lukewarm private sector job growth and needed solutions has not been addressed. Pension fund liability for public sector unions weigh heavily on New Yorkers who may be forced to bailout these funds.
It's time for us to focus, and here's how I think we should start.
For Carl Paladino, the Republican nominee for Governor:
1. You cannot reduce the cost of government without reducing the numbers of people employed by state government. What will you do to reduce the size of government at the state level?
2. What will you do about the growing illegal immigrant population and associated costs in New York State and sanctuary cities like New York City?
3. What will you do to grow business development and therefore jobs in New York?
For Joseph DioGuardi and Jay Townsend, GOP candidates for U.S. Senate:
1. Will you vote to repeal Obamacare and if repealed what is needed to create real healthcare reform?
2. Where do you stand on reforming social security, Medicare and Medicaid and how do we reduce billions in waste and fraud?
3. How do we improve care for America's military veterans and their families?
For all federal candidates:
1. Will you only bring clean bills to the floor and not add earmarks?
2. Where do you stand on trade agreements with China?
3. How can we streamline defense spending and maintain an effective military?
For New York legislative candidates:
1. What will you do to reduce state level spending?
2. What will you do to simplify the state tax codes and reduce taxes for businesses and individuals?
There are many more questions needed from New Yorkers but answers to these would be a good start.

Spectrum Signal Processing Inc. has announced that its flexComm SDR-3000 software platform has been selected by a leading European defense contractor for the development of a compact wideband jamming system.
It will incorporate Spectrum's SDR-3000 platform in a compact, 2U configuration. The customer purchased two systems valued at approximately $100,000 each for development purposes, and expects to purchase an additional nine units for delivery in late 2005 or early 2006. The jamming system is expected to be marketed internationally as a catalog product to NATO-friendly customers.
"Electronic warfare applications have become an increasingly attractive market opportunity for our software reconfigurable products, including the SDR-3000," said Dan Simard, managing director of Spectrum's European operations. "Much of our know-how in signals intelligence and military communications is readily applicable to the electronic warfare market. This expertise, combined with our ability to package the functionality of our SDR-3000 into customized, deployment-scaled platforms, was the key to our success in this design-in," he added.
Spectrum's flexComm SDR-3000 comprises a heterogeneous processing platform incorporating field-programmable gate arrays from Xilinx and PowerPC processors from Freescale and IBM. RapidIO provides the high-bandwidth, interconnect fabric between the processors. Software development tools include Spectrum's quicComm hardware abstraction layer that facilitates algorithm partitioning and programming and a real-time operating system.

|LASER INDUCED FLUORESCENCE OF BaO.
|Sakurai, K.; Johnson, S. E.; Broida, H. P.
|Issue Date:
|Ohio State University
|Fluorescence spectra of the $A {^{1}}\Sigma - X {^{1}}\Sigma$ system of BaO excited by seven visible Ar-ion laser lines have been observed from the excitation lines to beyond 1000 nm. The experimental arrangement was similar to that previously $described.^{1}$ An ion laser with a prism reflector at one end of the optical resonator was used to obtain single line oscillation. BaO molecules were produced by gas phase chemical reactions between $O_{2}$ and Ba vapor in an inert gas at room temperature. Barium was vaporized in an alumina crucible in cylindrical electric heater. Ba vapor was cooled and carried to the reaction and fluorescence cell by He, $Ar, N_{2}$ gas in excess as compared to the amount of Ba atoms. Rotational lines in the vibrational bands in fluorescence series were well resolved (to $0.08\AA$). Rotational and vibrational assignments of the excitation transitions have been made as shown in Table I. Improved rotational and vibrational constants in the lower electronic state were obtained. $\omega_{e} y_{e}$ and $\delta_{e}$ were found to be 0.0045 and $4\times 10^{-5} cm^{-1}$, respectively while other constants are identical to previously measured values.$^{2}$ In addition to fluorescence, a weak chemiluminescence of the $A {^{1}}\Sigma - X {^{1}}\Sigma$ system of BaO was observed in this reaction. Studies have been made, from 0.4 to 40 torr, of the collision energy transfer to other rotational and vibration levels of the $A {^{1}}\Sigma$ state after optical pumping by laser lines. The transitions from $v^{\prime} = 0-12$ in $A {^{1}}\Sigma$ state to $v"" = 0-17$ in ground state were observed. Strong non-thermal distributions of rotational and vibrational populations were observed.[FIGURE]

He didn't believe me.
I told him there had been a legal case relating to this, and he still didn't believe me. I think I have still got the letter somewhere where he denied it.
Now Lord Owen, formerly Dr David Owen of the Labour and SDP parties. has spoken out of the same subject. Perhaps Andrew Smith will finally believe it when he hears it from a former member of his own party, who is now a member of the fanatically pro-EU LibDem party, and who is also a medical doctor and a former UK Minister for Health.

Brexit is necessary to protect NHS from TTIP, says David Owen
Former health secretary claims proposed trade deal between the US and the European Union could make any privatisation irreversible
The NHS will be at risk of further privatisation if Britain stays in the EU because of the major trade deal being negotiated with the US, David Owen will say on Wednesday.
Lord Owen, who was health secretary for Labour in the mid-1970s before co-founding the SDP, said it would be impossible to take the NHS back to its original purpose unless the UK votes to leave in the June referendum.
Speaking to the Guardian, Owen said the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the US could put the NHS in "serious danger" unless there are more special protections to exclude the health service from the terms of the deal.
Under the clause of TTIP that most worries campaigners, US companies will be able to sue governments for pursuing policies that harm their business. A legal opinion commissioned by Unite argues the deal would mean privatisation of elements of the NHS could become irreversible for future governments that want to restore services to public ownership.
"The legal opinion is very clear that there are a myriad of dangers if health comes under the current TTIP system," Owen said.
"The government could apply for an exclusion but even if we do that we are still left with the problem that the EU has gone more and more into the health service, because as more marketisation comes in there it becomes a greater justification for not treating it as an exception ... such as the insistence on putting more and more out to contract."
His alarm at the idea of privatisation in the NHS is unlikely to be shared by some of his Vote Leave colleagues on the right. The remain campaign has claimed many leading Brexiteers "spent their political lives championing policies which would destroy the NHS as we know it".
But in his speech, Owen is due to say: "We are agreed in Vote Leave that, whatever our political views on the present marketisation of the NHS, decisions on the NHS should for the future be for the UK parliament and devolved administrations to take. It should not be for the European commission nor the European parliament."
He said leaving the EU was the only way to regain control over the NHS and the referendum was now wide open.
"We went through a market, insurance-based health system in the 1920s and 30s. I spent my childhood being told by my father what that was like and why he voted for the NHS in 1948," Owen said. "All I am saying is I want to be able to vote for the essence of the NHS to come back if we have a government that is not a Conservative one and I would say even that could possibly happen in 2020 although it is obviously more likely to be a longer period.
"We have got no chance whatever of going back unless we get out. Barbara Castle and I disagreed in 1975. I thought the common market would leave the NHS alone but she turned out to be more perceptive than me."
The Remain campaign replied that "independent experts" had shown Lord Owen to be wrong, but they did not name these "independent experts" or provide any links to their evidence.

What happens when you get sick and don't have a primary care physician? It usually means either ignoring the problem or visiting the emergency room for an illness that doesn't really require emergency care. Neither is the optimal choice for your health.
Daniel Eichenberger, MD, internist, pediatrician and primary care physician, and Thomas Harris, MD, emergency medicine specialist, provided insights into why it's so important to have a primary care physician.
Better Preventative Care
One of the main responsibilities of a primary care phyisican is to provide preventative care. "A primary care physician is something like a coach" said Dr. Eichenberger. "We can provide recommendations that will help you protect your health. We can get to know you, your history and your family history. We can provide the screenings you need, and identify and treat many minor problems before they become major ones."
Continuity of Care
As Dr. Harris explained, "Having a competent primary caare physician provides a continuity of care that health maintenance over a lifetime requires. He or she can treat the whole person, taking into account your history and existing conditions."
A Central Point of Contact
"A primary care physician coordinates information between healthcare providers," said Dr. Eichenberger. "When patients have questions, or are getting conflicting reports, they can call us. We can also make sure there is no duplication of care and testing, and that nothing is being left out."
A Key Resource
A primary care physician should be the first person in the healthcare system that you contact when you have a question or a problem. He or she can provide answers and care, or can recommend a specialist to meet your needs. Your doctor can also help you find other resources, such as support groups and classes.
Fewer Trips to the ER
"Your primary care physician can offer options that can help prevent you from making unnecessary trips to the emergency room," explained Dr. Harris. "For example, your doctor may be able to answer questions about a conditioin that concerns you, or may call in a perscription or suggest a course of action you can take at home. As ER physicians we are here to take care of true emergencies. For some people, coming to the ER is a safety net and they have little choice. But that should really be the exception rather than the rule. The emergency room cannot replace a good relationship with a primary care physician. However, for timely emergent problems the Emergency Center, not the office, is literally a lifesaver for the critically ill or injured."


text: Not necessarily, because maybe the national champion is a better skater and deservedly consistently has a larger advantage in PCS than the one who earned the minimum score has in TES. Of course with any system, sometimes the best skater in the country is not the one who has the best day at nationals. But what if the best skater does have a good day at nationals and easily earns the minimum there (even accounting for generous callers and inflated GOEs at nationals) but didn't have a good day technically at the international competitions? Euros/4Cs would be another chance to earn the scores for Worlds . . . unless the skater doesn't even already have the international score needed to gain entry there. I don't think quality of skating skills per se will decrease significantly because skaters still need to have the skill level to execute the elements successfully -- especially level 3+ step sequences. But the other components might get shoved to bottom priority by skaters who need to focus on executing the elements E.g., at senior B and even GP events we might see a big difference in approach between skaters who are there trying to earn minimum TES so they can qualify for a bigger event later in the season vs. skaters who have already done so and are there trying to win the competition they're competing in now.

Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
There's always going to be front runners, and people who jump on the bandwagon. I think this is more about "they have it, why don't we?". Then I think there's this desire for some people who honestly feel as if their game is some how inferior because they don't have certain features, and want to make it homogeneous. The rationale being "well if the games were exactly the same I wouldn't have to decide if I like it, I already know I will!".
You know, I played the demo of Forza 4 in Best Buy once a while back. The sales guys said "here ya go", handed me the remote wheel, and I proceded to lap the entire field. Granted I had no idea what settings I was using, but that's what you get when you hand over a steering wheel to the guy wearing a Ferrari jacket. It really did almost feel like driver's ed. For those who are too young to remember, in schools we used to have classes where they would teach you the basics of driving in order to get your license. I just kept saying to myself "this is what all the fuss is about?".
I don't think it's about "winning the race". Polyphony Digital does their thing. It's the "fans" who are concerned about "winning". They are playing to their strengths. The thing that many don't seem to understand is that you don't move forward by merely copying what someone else does. Once you start morphing one into the other, you lose your idenity.
Honsetly, even now I still don't get it. There's an AMC Pacer and Gremlin add-on for Forza, now all of a sudden "Oh those cars were so cool!!". Were they really cool? Or is it that you can't have them, and you want something that someone else has? And if Polyphony did give you those cars and those features, I have the distinct feeling that many would still find something to complain about.
There's a quote from Star Trek about having is not so pleasing as wanting. It's illogical, but it's true.
Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me[ Edited ]
To me, the differences between FORZA & GT are immaterial compared to what will happen when both sims meet real competition soon on their own home turf.
You see, consoles, in general, are an impediment to game development. They have been for quite a while. Their upfront costs and closed environments do nothing today to improve the gaming world. With Steam and now GameMaker: Studio on it, open platforms are where developers are focused. This is what makes pCARS so threatening to both GT and it's ilk. Here is a new startup using modern financing, and a different development model, and much more open communication, to come into this isolated genre and rock the boat. Next year will be really interesting.
Since GT is such an important part of SONY, PD is really going to have to step up its game, so to speak, if it wants to help retain console players, let alone GT's fans. One saving grace will be our console's ability to interface with a growing number of good wheels, but that will only get them so far and there are so many other challenges that need to be met full on that never existed before.
Consoles are under mounting pressure, so future models will be under cost pressures like never before because gamers will have more options to play elsewhere that have more open development and cost less to be entertained by them, and have more competing options even in the livingroom.
So PD doesn't need to worry about just what cars a FORZA has as much as what other things will affect them over the next ten years. PD has to make GT so appealing overall, and soon, that we can't look elsewhere.
Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
so true.
and that's where I keep going back to cost of PC's compared to the next gen consoles. When people had to pay $600-$700 just to get a machine that isn't as powerful as some PC's that were already coming out at the time, gamers have a difficult choice to make.
I know it's been mentioned before, and because PD is married to SONY (perhaps imperminently? IDK) but maybe decisions like this have another option.
Producing a PC game.
I know, that's a difficult pill to swallow, but may ultimately be necessary if the console market continues to be gobbled up by PC gaming.

Done properly, consoles should be able to take more of the PC market share.
Get a new powerful console, by todays standards, on the market and add a bunch of PC abilities, perhaps even properly emulate that dat gum windows, and the need for another machine with its own desk and various accesories, becomes less important. Why switch over to another machine when the console youre already using can do it all anyway.
An all-in-one multimedia/multi purpose computer/gaming console could be what we are all using in ten years.
Or not.
Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
I was saying this sort of thing when I heard about the current gen consoles coming out and how they were going to be more capable of playing media across local networks and had more features.
I thought, "hmm, consoles are becoming more like PCs". that will only continue. Although the original xbox and ps2 are great machines, even to this day providing fun for many around the world, when you do go back touse them for a little bit of reminiscing, you sorely miss the additional features of the new ones.
There's no reason why the next console could not be so close to being PC's themselves that PC gaming and Console gaming would merge into one platform.
Many people who build gaming PCs primarily use their PCs for JUST that, and not a whole lot more other than "adult" entertainment and communicating with the outside world.
It's going to happen eventually, but may not be this next generartion. We'll see.

Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
There is nothing saying it will happen, but the closed system console is under a lot of pressure from a changing market, even from a new open console, so nothing is certain about consoles in the long run.
Getting to the point where GT can't survive on a console is at least one more generation away, though, and maybe one more beyond the PS4. It may not be quick. The Gameboy Cube failed with, I am told, 20 million consoles, so new hardware is going to have to be pretty darned special to keep us buying them, and look where that got SONY with the PS3 - tied in second place.
This is what makes me excited about the next gen of hardware and GT.
Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
my point is that if the PS4 has much more in the way of features than the PS3, and it is bound to, then it essentially will be very close to being a PC, and thus the dinstinction between consoles and PCs will be very hard to nail down. then, people will be scratching their heads over those next few years trying to figure out why they are making a distinction at all.

Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
I have a feeling that after pCARS releases, nobody will even think about PS4. Finally looked into it, visuals of NFS, phsyics from Simbin? um, yes please. DL/ing it tonight on my beast to try out the alpha. There's one difference between GTR series and GT5 when using a wheel, brake chatter while under load. That tiny feature adds another realm of realism. It's not much but when you're breaking in those games, you can litterally feel it through the steering wheel. I wish GT would add that one feature.
Also, those pc racing games can run on crappy old computers, just scale down the graphics. Most laptops now will even play them. PC gaming is not that expensive if you go about it the right way. Start with a decent mobo and fill in the blanks, it's just lego.
Re: Gt5 vs. forza 4 the differents in companies when it comes to muscle cars to me
Considering the cross pollination of technologies already, everyone is going to look at the "bigger better faster more" side of things short term. Computer and Phone companies have realized they went too fast, and have been holding back advancements in order to create the next big thing so you have a reason, otherwise we'd have no incentive to buy.
Tablets were brought out to be a cheap laptop, but are part of the phone family, and are now branching out into the TV world too. Remember when there was a Blockbuster on every corner...? We're reaching the saturation point, where there are actually too many options. I can remember when we 4 TV channels. When the 5th started to broadcast, it was a big deal. Then cable came with 28 channels. 28..! Now there's literally thousands of them. Back then we had shows we watched week in and week out. It was like religion, you went every week whether you wanted to or not. Now we have 1,000 channels of watered down "I'll buy that for a dollar..."
TV's used to be bigger and bigger, then clearer and clearer, now they're heading back to smaller and smaller and 3D. There's not a whole lot farther they can take it. The only real open ended market is where home theater is headed and how 3D "IMAX" type home experiences can happen without glasses at an effective price point. Other than that, phones, computers, TV's and the like have become more a cut throat market vs a pioneering tech field.
We've created enough tech to do just about anything we want. It's not about the tech any more, it's about the profit margin. It's about keeping us captive, keeping us as Cows with Wallets. Commercial Cattle.
Consoles have always been behind the curve, even with latest greatest tech it's likely 6 mos or less before they're outclassed already. It's like that great new processor or video card that's outdated as soon as they box it up and ship it.
The Next Gen consoles will be about better performance for sure, and about becoming more a focal point for all entertainment much like TV's with internet and Netflix etc all ready to Wi-Fi in. They will be yet another entrant in the "please buy all your services through us" sweepstakes. Heck, they're half way there already. I half expect to see the PS3 offering car insurance any day now...
But the real drive for next gen consoles will be to create fewer moving parts to make them more profitable and made so games can use SSD or a similar tech to allow the license to be tracked and tied to a person and a console. This has been a gripe from game makers for ages, and console makers will make sure it happens to ensure those companies keep making games for their console.
The game companies are salivating over the chance to get a slice of 2nd hand game sales through secondary licenses and fees, but more importantly they see this as a way to take a big chunk out of the Piracy Market.
Next Gen consoles will make more money by having a much lower replace/repair rate, what they save companies like SONY in lost revenue from Piracy and what they can allow the companies to make from 2nd/3rd licenses than they will from selling the consoles. The losses to replacing broken units and piracy are staggeringly huge and are worth making a next gen anything just for those reasons alone, even if they didn't have any "advanced" anything.
I also agree with MastrGT that the real threat to games like GT5 or GT6 or GT28 won't be 4za, 5za or 5 1/2za. It'll be games that come from markets outside the realm of the console that offer greater flexibility, equal or better performance and can go with you anywhere, allowing easy access to the game from anywhere, where you can play it anywhere you can strap a wheel and pedals to a table or sit with a controller in hand.
Pop Cap changed the face of the gaming world not long ago with their marketing strategy. PC games have used modding to suit personal interests for decades to keep players engaged. When paired along with companies like Gamers Gate, Stardock and Steam and the ever growing and expanding tablet and TV market there's a whole new world of competition coming, aside from the already established franchises like 4za and I Racing.
The end of the good old days, the days of the closed, captive market are here. Look at how the cable and phone markets have been gutted and torn to shreds with all of the choices now. The same thing will happen to games, it's only a matter of time.
If PD continues to proceed like we're just going to stand around and wait for the GT Bus, they aren't going to have to worry about budgets or physics or anything else. They'll be looking for work as the world passes them by. That's the harsh reality of the business world today. It has nothing to do with PD's good intentions, it's simply the way the market is, and where it's heading.
And honestly, you can't say anyone on this forum with a brain and a keyboard didn't try to tell them or warn them it was coming.
Or try to beg them or plead with them to work with us and fix things so we could stay right here and keep GT alive and well.
The messages have been going out, many of them since prologue. The same ones, over and over. SONY and PD really need to stop and think a minute about what kind of future they want, and what having a loyal customer base really means in this ever changing business climate if they want to continue to do business as usual. They need to understand there are companies that would sell their corporate souls for the loyalty GT enjoys.
I for one will be truly saddened if they don't realize what's happening and let the future slip away.
I know I'd buy another console if I knew I could count on PD.
I know I'll buy GT6, but right now it won't be a pre order.
Due to what I've seen so far with both SONY and PD in the decision making department, I am not convinced I'm being taken seriously.
Because of that, I'll wait to buy GT6 until the last "this is it, never going to sell it again believe you me this has everything in it including all the DLC so buy it now" edition.
If I knew PD was going to respond, and I knew I could count on them to take me seriously as a core fan, I'd pre order and pay up front for DLC, as I have for GT5 just to show my support. I don't mind paying for the privilege of being heard, understood and having my concerns addressed. It doesn't mean I, or any of us for that matter will ever see everything we want in the game. But it does mean the small, simple annoyances and the really poor execution of game items is properly addressed.
And yes Mssr Kaz, in case you're wondering...
I did NOT buy your 24 hr N Ring DLC car on purpose. It's the only DLC I don't own.
It may seem petty or trivial, but I felt it was a small way of saying thank you for the countless hours we've all spent waiting for the simplest of fixes. I thought maybe in some small way it will let you know I'm thinking of you.
Now, should the fixes happen, I'll gladly buy the car. I will support a company that hears and supports me. But until then, please hold on to it for me...

Do cats mourn? When losing a close cat companion may the survivor become distressed to the point of not eating?
We have two feral barn cats that visit us and that we've been feeding morning and night for about a year. They are always together. Recently one appeared pregnant and seemed ready to give birth. She then disappeared ( she did this several months ago the last time she was pregnant) and reappeared a few weeks later. However this time she has not reappeared- but the male companion has reappeared after an absence of about a week or so. He has lost a lot of weight and looks very haggard.

Yes, animals do mourn for each other. I have witnessed this with feral cats. I manage a colony of seven feral cats. One of them was deaf and her sister would always watch over her. She would run to her when she heard her cry. The deaf cat passed away last year and for several months her sister would approach me crying. Now she greets me with a "meow", but still keeps her distance like feral cats do. Maybe you should try to get the companion cat in a humane trap and take him to a vet who can deal with ferals. He may be sick. He definitely needs to be neutered and vaccinated for rabies and distemper. That would be a good start, unless he is that ill. Maybe the girl kitty will return. If she does, get her fixed ASAP! Best of luck.

Animals do mourn for each other. I've seen it with domestic animals and there's no reason why ferals should be any different if they've developed a relationship with another cat. However, I would be concerned that the male is not well, beyond mourning for his mate. You may want to contact your local rescue/shelter or animal control officer (through your police department) and ask if you can borrow a trap. Seek out a vet that treats ferals, or ask the humane officer or shelter/rescue for help. It sounds like this guy need to visit a vet for treatment.

All of the above poster know that cat's do mourn. Be very aware especially in Siamese Cats. They will stop eating if they are the only cat, even if the owner goes on vacation. They will not eat and fade if they are not used to you leaving for a long period of time. If they have a companion cat that passes away they can (as any breed) become seriously depressed and not eat or drink and die. It is also higher risk for the surviving companion if it is sick itself.
Some pets need extra attention in their mourning to help them through. Give them plenty of love and affection and if you are worried they have become too thin take them to the vet to get them eating again. They may need fluids and a appetite stimulant. Grooming, treats and spa music helps around here during the loss of our loved furs.

New Production Company Announced to Take Over Inland Empire International Auto Show
Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau names Castle Communications to produce the popular Southern California event.
"We looked long and hard to find the right company with the right experience to take over this amazing event, and we are pleased to announce that Castle Communications, Inc. based in Gold River, California, will be handling all auto show production logistics," stated Krouse.
Castle Communications, Inc., under the leadership of owner Stacey Castle, is a special event, marketing and public relations company that currently produces the Sacramento International Auto Show. Continued Krouse, "We watched what they had done expanding the Sacramento International Auto Show from a 75,000-square-
"We are thrilled to be working with the Ontario Convention Center on this exciting event," said Castle. "With over 10 years of auto show production under my company's belt, we are looking forward to taking the Inland Empire International Auto Show to the next level."
Plans for the show include expansion into outside tented areas, the addition of more ride and drive tracks and a date change in 2014. "We will be moving the show in 2014 to the weekend after Mother's Day in order to take full advantage of displaying all the very newest automotive product to the Inland Empire market," Castle continued. "Many of the new-model releases don't occur until later in the auto show season; we want to capitalize on that fact."
According to Krouse, the City of Ontario and the area new car dealers are extremely supportive of the new show production team. "We are looking forward to building an event that everyone in the community can be proud of, a signature event for the Ontario Convention Center," Krouse added. "We feel this is the team that can make this happen."

Due the holiday, this Week in Review covers June 28th through June 5th.
Grenades Galore – In case you haven't heard, grenades and planes do not mix. Inert grenades were discovered at DSM, SEA, TPA, and BNA. Two live smoke grenades were discovered at DEN. Read here and here on why inert items cause problems at checkpoints. We don't know they're inert until we check them out and checking them out can often inconvenience your fellow passengers.
Stun Guns – 11 stun guns/devices were discovered in carry-on bags at checkpoints around the nation at: ORD, OGG, SMF, RIC, JAX, LGA, FLL & DEN. Among these items were a stun pen at Ketchikan (KTN) and a stun cane at McGhee - Tyson (TYS). Yes, a stun cane! That's a first for the Week in Review posts…
Items in the Strangest Places - It's one thing to forget you had a prohibited item in your bag, but when you intentionally try to sneak it past us, you could wind up being cited or even arrested by law enforcement. Here are a few examples from this week where passengers tried to sneak items past our Officers.
A razor knife was discovered in the seat of a wheelchair at Salt Lake City (SLC).
A 4" knife was discovered concealed inside a comb at Baltimore (BWI).
A 3 ½" knife was found concealed in the lining of a bag at LaGuardia (LGA).
Kids Pack the Darndest Things – Even though a 9-year-old's grandmother packed their bag, the child went in later and added 6 ground bloom fireworks. I can see why they wanted them. My 9-year-old self probably would have packed them too. These fireworks were discovered at Milwaukee (MKE).
Automotive Flares: Keyword "automotive." Not only are automotive flares prohibited on aircraft, the look a little creepy due to their resemblance to dynamite sticks. Two of them were discovered at Phoenix (PHX) in a passenger's carry-on bag.
Body Scanner Discoveries This Week – There were a total of 18 illegal items discovered this week with the body scanners at: ITO, ATW, JAX, PIE, 2 at ATL, ABQ, TPA, 2 at SMF, LAX, SFO, CLE, SEA, MSY, PDX, MDW, and LAS. Items were found in hands, pockets, and concealed in the groin area.
Miscellaneous Prohibited Items - In addition to all of the other prohibited items we find weekly, our Officers also found firearm components, realistic replica firearms, stun guns, brass knuckles, ammunition, batons, and a lot of bladed items.
Firearms - Here are the firearms our Officers found in carry-on baggage since I posted last Friday.
You can travel with your firearms in checked baggage, but they must first be declared to the airline. You can go here for more details on how to properly travel with your firearms. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. Travelers should familiarize themselves with state and local firearm laws for each point of travel prior to departure.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Possibly not suitable as you are concerned about the cost of the Kyam, but worth being aware of Oz tents Oztent RV Accessories Shop United Kingdom | RV Accessories Store United Kingdom | Oztent Accessories Store United Kingdom.
The disadvantage of the Oztent is that packed they are 2m long, but I would have thought this would be OK with a people carrier.
Single poled Tipi and bell tents are also readily set up by one person, but doorways tend to be relatively low for the height of the tent. Additionally, the steep sloping sides of the tipi mean a lot of the tent isn't really that usable.
For bell tents see Quality canvas bell tents and canvas yurts, including stoves for Bell Tents. SoulPad.co.uk - Canvas Bell Tents and Tipis, Camping Stoves and Accessories. Camping With Style. - Home Bell Tent UK - Welcome to Camping with Soul!
These are pure cotton so heavy and bulky, but make for a much more pleasant living space than nylon tents. The walls on bell tents make for more usable space than found in a tipi. They are still easily set up by one person
The tipi that most people think of is the Tentipi Tentipi (UK & Ireland), but expensive. Helsport and Bison are two other makes to look at.
I don't know of UK distributors for these but Helsport are sold here Tamarack Outdoors Tipi / Lavvu Style Tents
Mmmm, I can't immediately find anyone selling Bison tents in the UK any more.
I went through this same exercise recently as my wife has developed a recurring back problem and I realised that I needed to replace our existing tent which was difficult but not impossible for me to put up on my own with something easier. I went for the Tentipi Safir 9 CP, a very expensive option, but it should be a 30 year purchase (lifetime in my case) and as its polycotton, a lot lighter than the 100% cotton bell tents. We had also owned tipi style tents in the past, so we knew what we were buying. But bell tents/tipis aren't for everyone, and hopefully people will come along with easy to set up by one person alternatives.
My Nomad Masai hoop tent allows you to peg out the back, put all the hoops in, and then pull and drag it from the front to lift the tent into position, for you to peg the front out. The problem was that as you tried to put the front pegs in, the hoops would collapse, without someone holding them in position so it could several attempts to get the front pegs in, if pitching on your own. However, this was made more difficult because of the weight of the polycotton outer. I have pitched a similar size/style Eureka tent made of nylon and that was much easier to manipulate. But neither of us can stand camping in nylon tents so that wasn't an option. Hence the Tentipi solution.
Hope you get something sorted. there are several people here using Tentipis and maybe the other tents I mention. Also try The UK Camp Site for Tent and Caravan Campers in the UK as there seems to be lots of people using Bell tents across there (including several threads asking about how easy they are for one person to pitch) and a couple of people using Oztents.

On Thursday, ETNZ offered a solution that would enable all teams to comply with the Safety Recommendations so not to put the US Coast Guard permit in jeopardy. Artemis Racing welcomed the ETNZ solution to support the event and Artemis Racing in its current challenge. Unfortunately, not all teams supported ETNZ's offer and the current state of the race for all teams remains in question.
Artemis Racing continues to progress towards racing. Today, we have completed the structural testing of our boat. Final assembly will take place next week with the goal of getting on the water by the end of next week. Our entire team has been working tirelessly for two months and we are all eager to race. We will keep supporting the America's Cup.

- - Installed a helix mooring anchor last weekend... (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/43174-installed-helix-mooring-anchor-last-weekend.html)
Installed a helix mooring anchor last weekend...
Just thought i'd share our installation experience with the helix mooring anchor. Originally i was going to install two of these anchors but i decided that one would be sufficiant and i could always add the second one later if i felt the need. Unfortunately we didn't take the camera out on the skiff with us so all i have are prep pictures... but you will get the idea.
There were three of us (My dad, my neighbor and myself) but it could have easily been done by two. As you can see in the pictures we used a 10' joint of 4" PVC schedule 40 pipe to extend the turning position above the water. It worked like a charm; we used an old bumper jack/lug wrench handle to turn the pipe and it was fairly easy to turn and was rigid with no flex in the pipe and relatively light weight. We marked the PVC pipe at one foot increments starting at the anchor eye so we would know how deep the anchor was. We even attached the 1/2" chain to the anchor eye and had it fed through the pipe while we turned it down into the mud. The only dive needed was to take the bolt out that had the eye pinned to the PVC pipe so we could slip it off... easier said than done but not that bad. Visibility in the murky water was about a foot or so. I managed to avoid the jellyfish and bluecrabs while on the bottom taking the bolt out of the anchor eye. :D We decided to sink the anchor 1-2' deeper than the creek bed for a total depth of 8' which meant digging down to take the bolt out of the eye. All installation work was done from our neighbors 12' Carolina Skiff which was anchored three ways to keep it in place. The water was seven ft deep when we placed this one.
These are the anchors...

Here are the prep pictures...
Dad, Bella dog and I...
Heavy with the 1/2" chain attached... but not too bad. You can see the holes drilled at 1' increments for putting the tire tool in place turn turn with.
Closer view...
Different angle...
Here is a better picture that shows the holes for turning... as the anchor sank deeper we would simply pull the tire tool out and move it up to the next hole and continue turning... much like a giant cork screw. The rod in the picture was what we originally planned to use but it ended up being too long to manage so that's when the tire tool came into play.
I wish i had the actual install pics but i think you get the idea. :)
Cool. You turned it from the deck of a single skiff? I thought about trying to install one of these but I didn't think it would be possible to get enough torque off the deck of a single boat.
I am guessing that the bottom where you installed your helix anchor is relatively soft mud.... if it was hard packed mud, clay or sand, you would have needed a bit more in the way of gear to sink a helix anchor.
Do you own the waterfront land where you placed the anchor?
That for me would be the ultimate.
Boat swinging at its mooring in front of my house.
Very Nice!
How does one go about sinking their own mooring, legality wise? I was looking at sinking one in New Bern, but am not sure who I need to check with. I don't own land along the water. Not trying to hijack, so PM me if thats OK. Thanks for any help!
In many localities you can apply to get a mooring permit, even if you're not a waterfront landowner.

Are you in?

See you on the docks.
Meant to tell ya I'd seen jellyfish the previous weekend. Glad things went smoothly. Will you guys be down this weekend? I'll probably stay in New Bern till Sat. morning and let the front pass.

Toronto Wedding In April
"Sole Power was the preferred DJ vendor for Atlantis Pavilions at the date of our wedding and they were excellent. Everyone we dealt with at Sole Power from Matt Roy, to Lesley Garscadden, to our DJ, James (James Jeziorski / DJ Shamz) was great to work with. James, our DJ, contacted us several weeks before our wedding date to discuss our wishes for music and introductions, MC items etc. and prepared the set list based on our playlists and DO NOT Play lists. Our guests commented to us on how great the music was at our wedding and that is a tribute to James and the team at Sole Power."
