I am starting this group because I love playing video games. From the days when controllers were called joysticks, and had only 1 button. When no one would think you were crazy for sticking a spoon, fork, or whatever you could find laying around, into your console to make said console work. And, $.25 was all you needed to try out any game at the arcade. For me games have always been social, even the 1 player games, and RPGs. Todays games allow us to play with and against far more people than we …

-- -- -- that some of my favorite traders about a lot of -- how the justice.
To prove its case but the big ratings house Standard and Poor's issued fraudulent stock ratings in the run up to the 2008 financial crisis Charlie Gasparino.
Has the very latest.
I wanna before -- didn't citizens of fascinating story having him do it you notice of subtle difference in the Dell deal.
When it comes to Microsoft they were supposed to put equity financing in the deal they only would get financing.
They're out there there until loans that they doing meant.
-- the money to do the deal this is this I you know I don't know what is now.
More reporting I was I will tell -- this foxbusiness.com.
Has a pretty interest in take on this right now.
About potentially micro -- risk averse to DL blowing up at some point to future that you can't take it at a private equity and make money.
Clearly is an issue they were gonna put equity financing every single person -- reported this story.
Thought it was equity financing -- the initial reports particularly was equity financing.
And its debt so.
-- it's weird you would think they'd want.
Upside if this thing comes out and you can sell it out and you know five years at Microsoft's up half a percent of adults see it as a negative that don't -- -- -- -- -- -- I'm -- -- -- That they did not put money -- output skin in this gain.
This is a long.
And that's key this was supposed to be stock anyway.
Interest in the mafia does his alone.
And what I need zero these tactics to those loans -- like stocks because you know you can you basic control the company anyway -- -- -- If you if they -- -- -- anyway without getting into mafia with in my mind about my last name but.
That -- -- in Queens will be very only so you know what -- -- was talking Charlie sitting there saying who is this guy.
-- and that's -- but anyway.
Here's what the DOJ is -- argue it's going to be kind of an interest in case.
Because in the past Standard and Poor's and all the other rating agencies have been able to get away from sort of claims against them with a civil.
Like there's been regulatory actions against the big beast or your entire.
The entire defense.
And by the way this is not the first time they've screwed up the sub prime credit defense of AAA rating these horrible toxic and -- and they've done that at this Orange County member -- that blew up AAA and Orange County.
Our New York City back in the before the for the fiscal during the fiscal crisis right before the fiscal crisis in the seventies high ratings and in the often in the place goes up and I can do is millions of -- but has many many others.
What was their defense First Amendment that this is merely an opinion.
-- here's how the Justice Department panel is gonna go what that what they're gonna shows that listen.
They issued these conflicted ratings that violated their own corporate policies that we need the procedures.
Of issuing these ratings.
Was -- tomb of the of their internal policies and we rely on court precedent to show that once you don't follow your own criteria.
Guess what deep -- First Amendment defense fades away there's been court -- -- -- Supreme Court was their current year.
Here's the thing we had to clarkin on before the clarkin son Jason's decreased to work act stay -- -- -- you know two decades knows a lot about the internal workings.
It there's something about being inside the box an outside the box.
You're not supposed to be an integral part of the deal you're not supposed to be saying here's how you do the deal if you want X and I think.
And a lot of people think.
That -- S and p.'s own rules which say you supposed to be kind of an outsider and observer.
Allows you to issue an opinion as an observer.
They were such a part of the deal -- without a triple -- rating.
You can't issue a structural on the structured finance vehicles right the CBO's at all the stuff they are paying S&P to and they were gay all he learned.
Conflict of and they were telling them how to do it to get that triple -- and they were looking into -- reported a deal being an insider of the deal.
Is what Dick -- -- talked about that is of that's about to of their own internal criteria at least as addiction it's an interest in story.
I think.
That if this thing but man whose stock is getting crushed to get across -- the parent company we should point out that that has been the -- defense of all these rating agencies.
If that falls away.
They can't really reliant -- defense because of these guys -- constantly and they have this conflict of -- right they're paid by the people that -- rating.
The next thing you know you wouldn't be talking a lot more to -- -- Egan of Egan Jones.
Because that business model that has -- he has may go by the wayside and tools Kroll Kroll -- good time to come up with a different file form of rating where -- out of states can't happening we had a -- bring them back -- come back and have Meredith Whitney was trying to do ratings but I think of a kind of Muni bond -- got got.
That like yes.
Charlotte thank you very much -- done on a -- closing bell ringing in.

>Customer demand for storage solutions is continuing to grow. Cloud data centers can help meet the need, says Collins, vice president of product marketing at HGST, a Western Digital company. Collins offers suggestions on how solution providers can help rebuild their clients' systems to support the types of information they want to store.—Jennifer Bosavage, editor
Opportunities abound for channel partners to differentiate and create new revenue streams as storage takes center stage enabling the cloud data center. Demand for storage is exploding as IT managers strive to handle the avalanche of new data being generated by cloud data centers, big data analytics, social networking, HD video and millions of mobile devices. Solution providers can help customers correctly and efficiently re-architect storage to meet that demand. They can support the type of content they want to store, dramatically lowering total cost of ownership (TCO), while ensuring they become preferred channel partners.
[Related: How to Get Your Arms Around Big Data ]
There are five steps to effectively selling cloud storage:
Step 1: Evangelize the New Storage Equation: Beyond Price to Value
Hyperscale datacenters are designed for tens of thousands of servers handling petabytes even exabytes of data. Cloud architects are developing new best practices that demonstrate the bottom line value of taking a systems-wide approach to storage. These cloud data centers are highly customized. Often based on open-source hardware and software, they deploy drives optimized for specific applications that require efficient power usage, density and reliability. The bottom line: Cloud data center decisions are now based on value rather than pricing and TCO is how value is being measured. Best cost-per-TB, watt-per-TB, TB-per-system weight and TB-per-square foot are the new metrics for managing better costs, performance, scalability and storage efficiency.
Step 2: Focus on the Right Mix of HDDs and SSDs
Contrary to popular belief, HDDs are not giving way to all-SSD cloud environments for the foreseeable future. Datacenters are driving resurgence in demand for HDDs with IDC research projecting 46 percent compounded annual growth in this segment. (CAGR: 2011-2016). Although SSDs have many benefits (including ruggedness, better small block random performance, and lower power), the truth is that SSDs are still 3 to 30 times more expensive than hard drives. As a result, the most efficient cloud data centers use SSDs sparingly for only the hottest applications requiring the highest read/write performance.
HDDs continue to store the vast majority of data because of their cost/GB advantage. The smart focus is on selling both HDDs and SSDs in a tiered infrastructure. HDDs are most efficient for the vast majority of cloud applications in Tier 1 (10K/15K RPM SAS hard drives for mission critical data) and Tier 2 (7200 RPM SAS/SATA hard drives to store objects, social network content and Big Data), while SSDs are reserved for Tier 0 high performance transactional applications.
Step 3: Start with the Most Reliable Drives for Immediate Savings in CapEx and OpEx
Obviously the more reliable the drive, the less time and cost your customer spends maintaining it and the fewer returns you receive. Drives rated at the industry's leading benchmark of 2 million hours Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) will experience 40 percent fewer failures during the five year life of the drive over those rated at 1.2 million hours.
As an example of this MTBF impact, let's consider a large deployment of 400K drives whose number increase 10 percent annually to reach a total deployment of 2.4 million drives in five years. During that five-year period, you would expect to see 20,000 more drives fail if there were rated at the lower 1.2 million hour MTBF than if they had the higher 2.0 million MTBF rating. If those failing drives were in a RAID configuration or a replicated environment there would be additional costs associated with performance degradation, while the RAID is being rebuilt, or by moving the data elsewhere in order to maintain system integrity.
Those costs are in addition to the costs of physically identifying where the drives failed and initiating replacements. At an estimated $100 cost per drive per incident, you'd be looking at spending an additional $2M by year five. If you'd selected drives with a three-year warranty, you'd have to pay for new replacement drives as well.
Step 4: Get the Most Out of What You Already Have: Move to 4-TB Drives
The TCO savings of moving from 1, 2 or 3TB drives to high capacity 4TB drives is substantial. Here's why. Let's say you want to build a video server with a 4U server case. Two SAS host bus adapters can connect 16 drives each for a total of 32 hard drives and the server can support a pair of SSDs for performance and a 10GB/s network card. Using 4TB drives in the 32 slots results in 128TB storage per server, while using 3TB drives results in only 96TB storage per server.
Let's say your video library requires 384TB in storage. You would only need three servers using the 4TB drives vs. four servers using the 3TB drives. One less server translates into a 25 percent savings in power, and with 25 percent fewer rack components you could expect additional savings of 25 percent in cooling, 25 percent less rack space and 25 percent less weight.
Additionally, new up-and-coming helium-filled platforms are capable of supporting seven platters per standard 3.5-inch HDD, two more platters or disks than the current air-filled five-platter drives. As a result of the helium filling, the seven disk drives will deliver massive capacity while consuming 23 percent less power per drive, delivering 45 percent better power density and running four degrees Celsius cooler — reducing power and cooling requirements in the system rack and the data center for greater TCO.
Step 5: For Lowest TCO Learn from the Cloud Masters: A PUE of 1
Even a savings of a single watt per drive in basic power consumption across a large deployment over a period of five years adds up. If you deployed 12 hard drives per server and 25 thousand servers, you'd end up using 13 million kilowatt hours of electricity over five years. At an average commercial rate of 10.25 cents per kilowatt hour that single watt would translate into a cost savings of $1.3 million. By moving to 4TB drives and eliminating servers, battery backups and networking gear, the savings are exponentially higher.
Drive power consumption is one thing, but data center efficiency is even more important. Power Usage Efficiency or PUE refers to the ratio of the total amount of power used by a datacenter to the power delivered or consumed by its equipment. PUE helps you measure such factors such cooling, power distribution and lighting. The ideal PUE ratio is 1.
Best-in-class data centers such as Google and eBay have reported ratios as low as 1.14 and 1.35, respectively, but a typical data center has a ratio of 2.5, according to the Uptime Institute. So, a typical data center uses two-and-a-half times more electricity than the amount needed to run the actual equipment. A drive's read/write and idle power usage figures indicate the power a drive requires to operate. Two terabyte drives have power costs between $36 to $48, depending on whether the drive is idling or actively reading and writing. For a 1TB drive the cost ranges from $48 to $100.
Using fewer, higher capacity drives will consume less power and make the data center more efficient. In an average data center with a PUE ratio of 1.5, every 4TB drive deployed instead of a 1TB drive will save an average of $111 per drive during the next five years. For a deployment of 10,000 drives that adds up to $1.1 million.
The bottom line is that there are multiple ways for you to profit by selling the value of storage as it impacts the overall TCO of the cloud data center. The factors your customers should consider include: using the highest quality drives; using the right mix of HDDs and SSDs by considering type of application and function across a systems-level, tiered architecture; and moving up to highest capacity drives to reduce basic power consumption and increase the efficiency of how that power is used.

It's 3 a.m. and Finca the Great Pyrenees is barking in earnest outside our bedroom window. When you have livestock guardian dogs you learn quickly when a bark really means something. In my sleepy stupor I am thinking it is deer but I got up to investigate to be certain it wasn't anything more menacing to our ewes and lambs. I neglected to grab my glasses off of the nightstand so ultimately the origin of the raucous noise remains a mystery.

Nanodiamond System Used to Deliver Chemotherapy Directly to Brain Tumors
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 24 Sep 2013
Scientists have devised a new drug delivery system using nanodiamonds (NDs) that allows direct application of chemotherapy to brain tumors with fewer harmful side effects and better cancer-killing efficiency than existing treatments.
The study was a collaboration between Dr. Dean Ho, professor, division of oral biology and medicine, division of advanced prosthodontics, and department of bioengineering and co-director of the Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology at the University of California, Los Angeles' (UCLA; USA) School of Dentistry and colleagues from the Lurie Children's Hospital (Chicago, IL, USA) and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Chicago, IL, USA).
Glioblastoma is the most common and lethal type of brain tumor. In spite of surgical treatment, radiation, and chemotherapy, median survival time of patients with glioblastoma is less than 1.5 years. This tumor is notoriously difficult to treat in part because chemotherapy drugs injected on their own often are unable to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is the system of protective blood vessels that surround the brain. Also, most drugs do not stay concentrated in the tumor tissue long enough to be effective.
The drug doxorubicin (DOX) is a common chemotherapy agent that is a promising treatment for a broad range of cancers, and served as a model drug for treatment of brain tumors when injected directly into the tumor. Dr. Ho's team originally developed a strategy for strongly attaching DOX molecules to ND surfaces, creating a combined substance called ND-DOX.
Nanodiamonds can carry a wide range of drugs and prevent the ejection of drug molecules that are injected on their own by proteins found in cancer cells. Therefore, the ND-DOX remains in the tumor longer than DOX alone, exposing the tumor cells to the agent much longer without affecting the tissue surrounding the tumor.
Dr. Ho and colleagues hypothesized that glioblastoma might be effectively treated with a nanodiamond-modified drug using a technique called convection-enhanced delivery (CED), by which they injected ND-DOX directly into brain tumors in rodent models. The researchers found that the ND-DOX levels in the tumor were retained for a time period much longer than that of DOX alone. The DOX was taken into the tumor and remained in the tumor longer when attached to NDs. ND-DOX also increased programmed cell death and decreased cell viability in glioma (brain cancer) cell lines.
The study's findings also revealed for the first time that ND- DOX delivery limited the amount of DOX that was distributed outside the tumor and reduced toxic side effects while keeping the drug in the tumor longer and increasing tumor-killing effectiveness for brain cancer treatment. The therapy was more effective and survival time increased substantially in rats treated with ND-DOX compared to those given unmodified DOX. Additional studies will increase the number of brain cancer-chemotherapy drugs that can be attached to the ND surface to optimize treatment and reduce side effects.
"Nanomaterials are promising vehicles for treating different types of cancer," Dr. Ho said. "We're looking for the drugs and situations where nanotechnology actually helps chemotherapy function better, making it easier on the patient and harder on the cancer."
Dr. Ho also noted that the ND has many aspects, almost similar to surface of a soccer ball, and can bind to DOX very strongly and quickly. To have a nanoparticle that has translational significance it has to have as many advantages as possible modified into one system as simply as possible. CED of ND-DOX offers a powerful treatment delivery system against these extremely difficult and lethal brain tumors.
The study appears in the advance online August 2013 issue of the journal
Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine.

In a calm, neutral and elegant atmosphere, the sense of sophistication is shaped by the small details and the materials used, as well as a sophisticated combination of lights. The kitchen of 200 m2 has been designed by Joaquim Casademont. It is a black container, in which stainless steel furniture takes all leadership, an effect that has been reinforced by the lighting, a route marked by leds serves as a guide and allows the guests to cross it without interfering in the operations. Rooms for private events with a capacity of 20 to 60 diners respectively, complete its restoration facilities. The "Lounge Bar", which opens until 2.00 p.m. and where the music, light and color of the room subtly change.

See you at the races! some concernsome concernima little worried about my derby hoss hes had enough. last work 1-14-13, 5/8ths 1:01 and change
seems like he would have already worked back either 6 or 7 days out from that work going into the robert b lewis on feb 2nd
Re: some concernmy concerns have been answered. he's had enough will work in company with handsome mike just before the 1st race today at santa anita. i just hope it doesnt break handsome mikes heart
Re: some concernWorked today around 12:30 pm alongside Handsome Mike and couldn't pull away from him as Mario Gutierrez went to
the whip and Tyler Baze had a stranglehold on HM. Jeff Siegal and Zoe Cadman didn't like his work at all as he was under much pressure and didn't show much. Final time was fast in 58 an change but track was sealed last night.
Re: some concernJust got done watching the team work with Handsome Mike and He's Had Enough...Tyler Baze worked Handsome Mike he was on the inside, Mario Gutierrez worked He's Had Enough ont he outside. Handsome Mike was never allowed to run at any point, He's had Enough was all-out and under a drive to keep up and eventually put his head in front..On the gallop-out He's Had Enough was whipped numerous times, Handsome Mike was under a stranglehold...
They were 23 and change, 46 and change 58.2 and 1:11.0 over a sealed wet-fast track Totally unimpressive move for He's Had Enough, albeit, Handsome Mike is an older horse and he may not have cared for the hard track, but he certainly did not send out a ringing endorsement as a Derby horse
Re: some concern
Totally agree. Love Flashback and Power Broker to beat him in the Lewis.
Re: some concern
where did you watch it?
Re: some concern
It was shown throughout SA simulcast audience.
Re: some concernHandsome Mike was a quarter mile in front during gallop out without even being asked. Other horse being whipped repeatedly
Re: some concernI feel He's Had Enough is overrated in general and the BC Juvenile was not a good race at all.
Re: some concernSo Shanghai Bobby is a auto toss in the Holy Bull?

Indonesia Tours
- Bali
- Nusa Tenggara Islands
- Mt Bromo
- Gili Islands
- Ubud
- Lombok
Lying stretched along the equator, steamy, volcanic Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago, home to over 230 million people. Lately "Indo" has had a string of bad luck, from the tsunami to earthquakes, fires and political instability. Being a country of islands, though, it is by nature regional, and it would be a mistake to write off this massive area ... you'd miss a lot! Lush green rice terraces line mountainsides, jungle animals roam freely, and pristine surf beaches and lakes abound. Behind the headlines, this mosaic of cultures remains a land of stunning beauty, friendly people and one of the best values in Asia. Not to mention the language is easy to pick up, and the food is excellent. Selamat jalan! (bon voyage)
Indonesia in Depth—Sumatra, Java, Bali (AEID)
Get ready to hit the ground running in this 28-day whirlwind tour of Indonesia' top sights. We mean that literally, too – you'll stay active as you hike and explore Berastagi, Sipirok, Tangkahan, Bukit Lawang and more. Recharge with street food crawls and coffee plantation tours, and take the time to get up close and personal with orangutans and elephants. Experiencing it all with a group of like-minded travellers is the best way to get the most out of this dynamic country.
Highlights: Discover Javanese culture, explore thriving cities, encounter elephants and orangutans up close and personal, trek in the shadow of Mt Bromo, snap photos of beautiful rice terraces, sip coffee at plantations, relax on sandy beaches, chill out on Lake Samosir.
Highlights of Sumatra (AESH)
If the only thing you think of when you hear "Sumatra" is "coffee," then we need to have a chat. If you're looking to plunge right into a nature-filled adventure with elephants and orangutans aplenty, here's where you'll want to be for two weeks of city touring, hiking, and having a great time bonding with your fellow travellers. We're pretty sure you'll agree that everything is a highlight in Sumatra.
Highlights: Encounter elephants and orangutans up close and personal, hike down to a crater lake, trek in the jungle of national parks, chill out on Lake Samosir.
Yolo Java to Bali (AEKS)
Home to 136 million people, the Indonesian island of Java is the most densely populated region on Earth. But while the teeming rivers of humanity that flow through Jakarta's streets at rush hour can feel overpowering, there's still a surprising amount of room to stretch out and explore. Travelling with other young travellers eager to experience this unique place, you'll make your way from big cities to the calming beaches of Bali, soaking up culture and excitement along the way. And as your expert CEOs will be only too happy to show you, there's plenty more to taste here than just stellar coffee.
Highlights: Discover Javanese culture, explore thriving cities, trek in the shadow of Mt Bromo, snap photos of beautiful rice terraces, sip coffee at plantations, relax on sandy beaches.
Bangkok to Bali on a Shoestring (ATBS)
Slurp down rice noodles under the streetlights of Bangkok and wander the paddies and temples of Java—this epic adventure covers the best of Southeast Asia. Party in chaotic Bangkok, bliss out on stunning beaches and gaze out across the 'sea of sand' from Mt Bromo's summit at sunrise. While this tour includes a knowledgeable CEO, accommodation and a variety of local transport, it also leaves plenty of free time for you to do what you want.
Highlights: Explore bustling cities, take in the beautiful scenery, watch the sunrise from Mt Bromo, hike through rice terraces, sample java from its namesake island, chill out on stunning beaches, discover the cultural side of Indonesia
Southeast Asia in Depth (ATSE)
Get off the beaten path and head right into the wonders of Southeast Asia. On this best-of collection of Bangkok, Bali, Sumatra and more, we'll see some of the most famous tourist areas as well as little-known marvels. With days spent on boat trips and sunny beaches and evenings full of bonding with new friends as you enjoy the city nightlife, your schedule will be so full that the 41 days will fly by.
Highlights: Watch the sunrise from Mt Bromo, hike down to a beautiful crater lake, sample java from its namesake island, chill out on stunning beaches, encounter elephants and orangutans up close and personal in Sumatra.

text: From top model to professional athlete, Jenny Fletcher, who was discovered by a model agency at the age of 15, fell for the challenges of the triathlon after a number of detours through other sports. Consistent with her progressive improvement in performance, the first successes soon came along, allowing Jenny to commit to a career in sport alongside her modeling work. The Canadian is the best example of what an iron will and hard work can achieve in professional sport. With BMC at her side, the triathlete who relocated to California wants to turn her sporting ambitions into reality and will concentrate primarily on American and European competitions over various distances.
