Hedge Fund Business Continuity Planning Prompted by Tornado Outbreak
It's a simple question: is your hedge fund business continuity plan in place to help you prepare for a disaster?
It has been a historic season for tornadoes. The recent twister that ripped through Joplin, Missouri killed more than 130 people, making it the deadliest storm in nearly 60 years.1 And just last night, seven tornadoes touched down in western Massachusetts, creating panic and wreaking havoc in a state that rarely sees that type of weather.
This year's tornado season proves that even when the circumstances seem unreal and impossible, the worst can still happen, therefore your hedge fund or investment management firm needs to be prepared.
Here are a few reminders about how to prepare your hedge fund for a disaster situation:
- Establish a BCP. First step's first. You have to have a business continuity plan in place before you can execute it. Work with internal executives or a third-party service provider to craft a BCP plan that best suits your firm.
- Identify Key Decision Makers. You'll need to know which individuals will be responsible for activating the business continuity plan and communicating with employees.
- Establish Communication Procedures. How will you notify employees? Examples include a call tree or an automated notification system.
- Determine Remote Capabilities. Will there be a central meeting location? Can employees work from home? Do you have enough Citrix licenses to support an increase in remote users?
- Consider Providing Employee Assistance. Depending on the scope of the disaster, you may want to consider offering employees some type of assistance to cope with the aftermath.
The most important factor in hedge fund business continuity planning is communication. If you are upfront about assigning communication responsibilities, it will ensure that employees are properly notified of business continuity procedures and will make for a smoother transition back to normalcy.
Does your hedge fund have a business continuity plan in place?

Children graduate from Sunshine Daisy Nursery
11:12am Wednesday 19th September 2012 in News By Emily Roberts, Chief Reporter
IT was a big day in the lives of these four-year-old children as they graduated from their nursery school.
The nine youngsters, from Sunshine Daisy Nursery, in Andwell, said goodbye to staff at the nursery where they have spent the last few years, ready to move on to primary or infant schools. Parents were invited to watch their children perform in The Three Little Pigs before enjoying a cream tea made by the nursery pupils.
Each of the graduating children was then invited to stand up in a gown, holding a scroll, and present their parents with a daisy before being given a book as a gift from the nursery in the parting ceremony.
Claudia Padfield, manager at the nursery, said: "It went really well. They were really excited and it was nice because all the parents had afternoon tea with their children on the lawn, and the children saw it as a party."

You should refuse to pay back your student loan Buster - after 13+ years at school and 3 years at Unversity you still don't know the meanings of 'graduate'.

There are very few words in the English language which have just one meaning - that is one of the things which help make it rich and beautiful.
What word would use in place of 'graduate', Buster and Quimbo?
Shame's contribution cannot be used because 'baccalaureate' is a noun and we need a verb here.

Garden City Maroon won its seventh consecutive Nassau girls golf championship, finishing with a score of 851 Tuesday at Bethpage Green. Syosset was second and Manhasset third.
Syosset freshman Elizabeth Choi won the individual championship with a score of 154. Choi shot a four-over 75 in the first round Monday and her 79 Tuesday was good enough for the title.
The Maroon team was led by sophomore Samantha Sessa, who finished in second place individually with a 36-hole score of 159, and senior Marisa Cameron, who finished third with a score of 163.
"I'm very happy for the girls," coach Reid Sclafani said. "They've been working hard for a long time. We had high expectations this year, and so far they've lived up to them."
Along with Sessa and Cameron, Maroon's Alex Michielini (173), a senior, and sophomore Brittany Burke (176) finished in the top nine to qualify for states along with teammates Mackenzie Horl, a junior, and Laura Ketigian, a senior, as the top two alternates for the tournament. All six golfers were given All-County honors.
Garden City Maroon will face the winner of the Suffolk championship in the Long Island Championship on May 29 at Sunken Meadow Park.

Customer Reviews for Brown Horizontal Blinds 2 1/2" Slats
"Great product"
By Self installer from San Jose, CA
These blinds were very well fitted for our custom size windows. They came perfectly built for the dimensions that we entered into our online order. These blinds were also very easy to install, despite the fact that our windows are very large in size.
View this product"Great blind at a great price"
By customer from San Diego
I was looking for something unique and with a more organic feel than standard wood blinds. I really liked this option from Levelor. They are the quality you expect from Levelor but at the price you love from Blindsgalore.

This book simply blew. It was not good. Slow moving, and very, very little Necroscope powers demonstrated until the bitter end of the book. This venturing off into extraterrestrial territory for subject matter did not work AT ALL. I loved every other Necroscope book in the series, but these weak "golden darts" giving a smattering of Necroscope powers here and there, is also less than satisfying. I sure do hope that Lumley re-thinks this direction, and returns us to the REAL nitty gritty of Necroscope characters and powers.
I hope nobody is offended by this, but i really think Mr. Lumley should know that this was less than his best effort, by far.

I for one WILL NOT welcome you to these boards. But that is just my opinion
November 26th, 2007, 09:55 PM #3
I thought "The Touch was a fine story. You have to look at it as a stand alone story with connections to the Necroscope books.

Does anyone have an opinion as to why zorroe11 would refrain from posting here to discuss the works of the master, if he /she HAS read the entire Necro series, only to post a 'negative', without as much as an introduction???
I do.
But I try to be civil on internet forums and I'm trying(very hard) to keep it that way.
Hope you feel better tomorrow zorroe.
P.S. You hope no-one is offended by this. . . . . . . . .

Thanks for your reply to my comment. I have a few other zealous replies as well shooting me down, and I accept that. My opinion was meant as honest criticism, and why you decide to resort to personal attack is beyond me, but nevertheless I do appreciate your takin the time to reply. I am a big Necroscope fan, and I assumed, wrongly, that a fan could post something less than a stellar comment without getting a verbal lynching. I see it isn't so, but have a great day anyway.

Thanks for your reply. It's hard to look at it as a stand-alone because of the long history of the Necroscope mythology. Viewed in that light, I was less than thrilled. Honest, when I bought the book, I could not wait to read it and, while doing so, I was waiting for the old fire, which I felt was simply not there. But, I do see your point, even though one would have to know the general story to appreciate the book due to the references therein.

Thanks for your comment on my posting. The reason I never posted before, although I loved every Necroscope book, whether it took place on Earth or Starside/Sunside, is that a friend, after hearing my comment, told me of this site. This is how I discovered it. (Maybe ex-friend might better describe him after my comments and their response. lol.) In any case, I meant to cause no offense or distress, and the comments were heartfelt, yet STILL from a big Lumley fan. And I would definitely have posted great reviews before this on the other books had I known of this site's existence. Take care.

Matman72, disappointed with that post of your's more than "zorroe11" 's
Opinions are alway's welcome, whether for good or BAD.
Necroscope: The Touch. Was not in the vein (GEDDIT), in which I expected.
But, then again I have read other of Brian's works, which DO include aliens.
Wamphyri from another dimension/universe, so are also ALIEN!!!
AND I FOR ONE WELCOME YOU "ZORROE11" as a reader of Brian's works.
Naughty MATMAN72...

Couple of thing here really.
If you do not like a book as much as another you are entitled to say so. We all have opinions about Brians work (You have to judge whether to air them on a site dedicated to him). It may not be the best way to introduce yourself and you probably should expect adverse comments from other fans.
I personally enjoyed this one but not as much as some of the earlier offerings. They are all different in there own way
I should remind you that SHOUTING is something we do not do as it tends to wake me up.
Now if everyone is finished, lets play on.......
Oh and welcome to you anyway Zorroe, if you are a fan, you will enjoy it here and I'm sure you will find your way about soon.

I am currently reading The Touch and i have to say it is a great Lumley book maybe zorroe feels this way because of the lack of Harry in these pages but otherwise i cant see how the book could let you down so much. But everyone is entitled to there own opinions, and i think it is a great book as all Lumleys books are, but im not just a necroscope fan ( although they are by far my favorite and most choice reading materials) but i have also read and enjoyed greatly the Titus Crow series and The House of cthullu and began my Lumley journey with The Pscychomach series!!! So maybe i have a different view point on this book, so far though I love The Touch and would suggest it to any reader!!!

zorroe, welcome man.
real great heartfelt post, we dont have enough of these. and with the world growing and evolving into something new in this era we need more people expressing themselves, so while i congratulate you on havin ze balls to truly say what you thought and completly annoy half of the active community :/ i will nah really say anything about the actual post content as i will get involved in yet another argument.
the touch.... well what can i say, i brought it last sunday, tis now saturday nyt, have been reading it in tutor time, after school, between homework and english coursework and..... its not what i really expected and having still not finished it, hopefully will by this time tomorrow, its turning out to be a mild book. i wouldnt rate it as great as the others and i wouldn't rate it as low as some of the crappy books i have read, i would possibly put the touch (if i have a scale of all my best and worst books) around about next to the drawing of the three by stephen king, the dark tower series, while the rest of that series and brians books are near the top, this one and the touch are somewhere around 6/10.
it isn't as action packed as i expected, not that gory and mind image creating as some of the others books, and i didnt just sit there in tutor and go, oh my god, like i did when reading vampire world back last march in tutor period. not a bad book, not a good book. im not really expecting a lot from the ending, i already know the ending partly as brian ruined it by setting it before most of the others so u know the world will survive. that sort of ruins it for me because there is no raging pulse not knowing whether they will survive or not.
possibly expecting st john to develop SOME powers of harry's beside crappy dream deadspeak and even worse telepathy, what myt be gud is if he eventually gets hold of the mobius continuum and ditches all of the aliens and their rubbish tech inside their, banashing them forever. probably not gonna happen but thats what one of my few theories is at this point. plz dont ruin it for me, only 150 pages to go
i also want to start a lil something up so have a hunt around my post if i manage to get it up tonight, if not i will work on it tomorrow, u will see it, sumt about necro fan fiction ;P
peace out , andrew

Well I finished reading The Touch last night and I have to say I thourghly enjoyed the book and was only let down in one aspect of it, and that being the ending. I was hoping that Scott St.John was going to continue being the necroscope and thus continue this saga. But him losing his powers kind of gave it a certain finality, but hey being a huge necro fan lets hope Mr. Lumley has something more in store for us, I for one atleast hope he dies!

Too bright and optimistic
I read all previous Necroscope's parts. This one disappointed me a little. There comes some excelent ideas - nasty alien monsters, evagination etc. Beginning is dark but by the time all is going too bright and optimistic and looses horror aspect. Main character is weak and cannot use his powers till the very end. Final is too predictable, classic Necroscope crusade with excessive time-rewind.
However it's not bad book, I got "Necroscope refreshment" on my summer holidays, met old friend from E-branch.
All other Necroscope books got about 90% :-)

I love my alma mater. I learned a great deal and became a better citizen as a result of my education there. Just like any other inner city school, Cass Tech has its challenges to deal with a struggling
Completely horrible. Definitely doesn't live up to the name it has. In fact, I have absolutely no idea how it can be ranked as a top school in DPS. It is about as worse as most of the other schools. If I had the choice to go back to my freshman year and pick a different school, Cass would certainly not be my choice.
I graduated from Cass Tech in 1949. I was a Home Economics major. I also took pre-med classes such as chemistry & biology. It was an excellent school. I would recommend to any young person that has a goal in life for a particular career.
As an alumnus of Cass Tech, I am gravely disappointed in the fact that I recently went to the school's website (after bragging about the long-standing college prepatory focus of the school) to find an "ACADEMIC" model, or "ACADEMIC" offerings (courses), anything related to "ACADEMIC" tracks, etc. I wanted to show a colleague of mine (In the Educational arena) just what was SO SPECIAL about "MY" High School. The site for: Cass Tech (as of today January 24, 2013) is a JOKE! What about the academics, the curriculum tracks, concurrent enrollment (can you get college credit for courses taken at Cass), AP (Advanced Placement) offerings....criteria for getting in? I SUGGEST (DPS & CT Admin): Stop relying on HISTORY(THE PAST) to validate Cass. There's nothing special about Cass (anymore); at least you can't tell from the site. It's the same as Redford, Mumford (and THEY ARE GONE). ACADEMICS, ACADEMICS...Who cares about Sports - they're nice, they're needed, they serve a purpose, BUT - I would ONLY send my student to Cass, or recommend someone sending their child to Cass - IF I could SHOW & PROVE by way of their website-at least! FOCUS PEOPLE!!! CassTech, MBA, M.S., M.Ed. 1986
This schools administrative staff is very rude. I've called the school on a few occasions just to ask general questions. Each encounter has always been very rude, and I was rushed off of the phone as if my questions weren't of their concerns to receive an answer. Which ever administrative member I talked over me as I tried to ask questions and as I told her excuse me "there is no need to be rude as I am talking to u in a very calm and civilized way" she responded "ANYWAY have a nice holiday!" and hung up on me. Never did I raise my voice or say anything equally rude. I was just asking a general question. I was more than disappointed in the service that I received. I am a 25 year old sibling of a younger sister who attends this school. Is this how all of the staff conducts themselves I wonder? Very sad. My sister also does not have school books to take home for certain courses. And has told me that her counselor is very rude and unhelpful when she sees her for academic advice.
Cass is not all that I was lead to believe it was. 6 weeks into the new school year of 2012 no books for several classes. classes that did have books they were old and worn. Ms. Lisa Phillips is not accessible and does not follow through with contacting parents. All this hype about the children getting netbooks is a joke. Cass is not preparing these students for college. As a parent, my advice to you if you are sending your son/daughter to Cass, you better be on top of your game. Only thing DPS seems to be concerned about is count day. The attendance system they have marks students absent and tardy even if they are sitting the classroom every day. The guidance counselors are joke. They are never available to the students and the students rely on them to give them advice for completing their high school requirements. The only person you will see in their office is the secretary, who should be getting paid their salary, because they do their jobs. I took my son out of the school after being there 6 weeks and I saw no spark in him the teachers or staff. He is now attending school in the city Warren, where I know they care about educating the children and not the numbers.
Cass Tech continues to be the best school in Detroit. Top notch faculty and technology. There is always a great feeling when I walk into the building. I am a proud alumni of this school and I highly recommend this school to any parent who wants the BEST for their child.
Cass Tech has excellent students, faculty, staff, history, activities, alumni, and above all, placement rate in to college. It is indeed, an outstanding institution and will serve the advanced student well. It is a large school and, as such, it does prepare students for university life. It is well worth your consideration if your child wants to be successful in collegiate studies
Cass Tech is an amazing school. The environment is welcoming curriculum is rigorous and the administrators are awesome. I've been attending cass for three years now; I will be a senior this upcoming September. I love my school in spite of the minor issues that may occur which are typically due to mishaps of the School District not the school. Oppurtunies are endles and our alumni association is the best I've ever been exposed to. Everywhere I go I run into a former technician; I love it! I love the diversity, support, opportunity, connections, educations, required-effort etc. Cass tech is a lovely school, in June I will be one of the proud alumnies creating opportunities for my future technicians. One of the greatest thing about Cass (other than it's affiliation with different colleges) is the fact that many of its alumnies returns to work with or at Cass for the benefit of the students! :-)
I currently attend Cass tech and i honestly can say i am sad with the results so it has approx. 8weeks we have been in school, i am no satisfied. For Cass to be such a"AWESOME" school as many others say its not. You have these ragedy books, which you can barely read the lesson or whatever. Also, teachers that don;t do their job: some actually do teach and thats good but you have the ones who sit on their butt and do NOTHING!! Its not organized it took about 3 weeks just to get our schedules correct. Then this 5min transition time REALLY? if you have 2-4 sets of stair that leads nowhere and then 2-4 that do kids are bum rushing hallways ITS RIDICULOUS !!!! --And i really like Cass Tech but i need to something better my uncle, brother, mother and etc, graduated from there...but as the years go by its getting worse. I believe that is Cass didn't have so many studnets it would be easier, I mean Guidance dont Really speak to their students they have 460 student each.. All im saying is parents will have to stay on student's techer's head because teachers slack more than the students... Peace Lopve and Happiness <3 <3 :)
I love Cass Tech!! Majority of my family attended Cass and are a successful outcome because of it. I feel upon graduating in 2007 it has well prepared me for advanced education. I've graduated with a B.S in Biology and now continuing my tenure in a Bridge to Doctorate Program. I would bank on saying that Cass Tech has prepared me educationally as well as socially. With the various concentrations and programs at Cass I am able to adapt to the balance of academia, networking, and extra curricular activities. I would encourage anyone to send their child to Cass. And remember there's only two types of people in this world...those who graduated from Cass...and those who wanted to ;)
Cass Technical High is an excellent school that offers a wide range of curriculum s and has many resources. However the parent and teacher interaction is dreadful. At the parent & teachers conference be prepare for very very long lines and you might be able to speak two or three teachers at best, don t expect prompt response back to emails sent to teachers and there s no Web access to stay abreast of students performance. So don t send your teen to CT if they aren t totally FOCUS and DETERMINE. This isn t a school for high schoolers with a middle school mind set. This school is too big to not have better communication. This isn t directed at all the teachers or Principal Phillips but the nature of a school that has over 2000 thousands students
This is the best schools i have ever gone to. I was prepared for college and i also took college class during high school with their College Prep Program
Cass is a first rate school that cares about it's students. They have a high academic standard, insists on students enriching their lives through community volunteerism, ethics, physical activities in sports. Counselors actively seek out parents and and sets in place peer counseling to head off any potential problems. The are proactive, caring, and exacting.
I think this is the BEST school in Michigan. most detroit schools arent good but this is. I recommend this school to every1
The best high school in the dps system. I graduated from the chem-bio curriculum and am currently a practicing physician. Occasionally i attend a football game..Ahh memories. My daughter graduated from ct from science and arts. We love cass tech!
i have been going to cass tech for two years now and i rate it a five star school they provide us with an excelent education and they realy do care about us i love CT
i am a freshman at CT and so far i love the school. Cass Tech has a great environment and is very fun too :)
I am a freshman at cass tech and i love this school so much it is everything to me! The teachers are very supportive of students and the seniors are usually very helpful. At all schools you will encounter some problems but at cass, i have had nothing but a great experience. I look forward to my next three years!!!!!!
I am the parent of an upcoming 2010 senior and I have a complaint about this great school. However while attending a meeting for parents and senior on yesterday I can honestly say that Cass needs a staff with more time to devote to just senior considering how important this year is I would think that the couselors would be a little more helpful. I've been letting it go for the past three years but yesterday I had the worst experience. I pray when I go back in a month or so I have a better response.

During a press conference at E3, Kazuo Hirai, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment, unveiled an updated version of the Playstation Portable. While the form factor is virtually unchanged it will be 33% lighter and 19% slimmer. The new version will also come with a video-out port. There has been no release date or price announced yet. Sony has sold more than 25 million PSPs worldwide lagging behind Nintendo which has shipped over 40 million DSs. Source: BBC News
yeah do they ever wonder why PSP sales are lagging??????? lack of DECENT games, lack of follow up of acceccories, for instance....asside from the usuall stuff like speakers & docking stations & that 4Gb Hdd which is ludicrously expensive....what else is there???? I remember back in the day when GAME GEAR use to rule the world....it had a tv tuner cartridge u could buy that would enable you to watch TV on your Game Gear...... what im trying to say is that Sony havent shown any sort of Progression with the PSP. & now that a skinnier PSP has come out whats the point of buying it if all the games are sh!t?????
haha i have never owned a portable game system but the PSP has always been attractive to me with sleek design and nice controls. this new video out port will be nice as well to play your movies on your tv or something. but yea no good games and lack of support has sort of scared me away. however in september when this is supposed to come out i may buy it just for the video out!
I dont care if they stop making PSPs completely but so long as they come out with SOMETHING that resembles Final Fantasy before the decide to bin production & execute their executives..... that alone will keep me happy for a long time also that rehash wildcard FF game doesnt count.... i want decent RPG's having a slimmer, lighter PSP with a Video Out port doesnt justify: - my frustration - my psps loneliness - the cost of the PSP (unless it was going dirt cheap then this is void) bit of a scam to be honest.... their just trying to make some more cash out of the PSP before their ready to admit it was a total failiure & shut shop its a make or break situation IMHO....& its going to fail if they dont full in all the support from game makers such as capcom & Square Enix etc to help them spearhead this stratagy forward.... PSP on its own will run out steam real quick..... hopefully this re-release will turn some heads
That's pretty much the reason why the psp is behind...it doesn't have a decent game library, and promised accessories such as gps and camera hasnt been released in the US nor sounds like its ever comming. I am not a fan of slimming some thing, just gonna make a smaller screen. I love my psp for its nice screen. Video out is a nice feature, but its a portable gaming device, does people really need to plug it to a tv? They should have intergrated blue tooth or a second analog stick.
If Sony took them steps that would make them look & sound liek what happend to the Neo Geo handheld sytem..... Pre PSP days. gameboy colour wasnt even out yet I dont think. Im not too sure.... the Neo Geo had the games & Support. but the only problem was its was a Buggy as a Gordon Ramseys carrot cake... they just couldnt get rid of the bugs. & because of that sales dropped.... they relaunched is as a palmtop. that will still buggy. then they relaunched it again as a SATNav system & that never took off....after that the company who made Neo Geo went bankrupt & as far as I kno havent been seen since...
dang i didnt know the ds kick the psp's ass that much. i thought the psp was ahead this whole time. but i can kinda see how it sucks. why would u pay for a psp movie when it costs more than the normal dvd. lol.
Simple answer to that its to buy the movie. rip it to your HDD then torrent a Vdeo Converter Program that will convert it into PSP screen size. this process with roughly take u around 2hrs (1hr or 45mins to rip the Dvd 1hr to convert the Video down) Or if u dont want to do that either then Torrent for PSP Videos... you can find loadsa videos but becareful of the ones that come in a Zip file... some assholes try to make u pay for the damn videos so they lock the Zip file down
Slim it? Are they NUTS. The PSP's size is perfect, sure it could be lighter, but damn.... I bought the PSP because of everything it could do at the time I got it (when we had firmware 1.5), but Sony then decided to stop me doing what I paid for because it's "as good as piracy"....how is running homebrew piracy? (I'm not talking about loaders to run "backed up" games, I'm talking about applications written by programmers specifically for the PSP) *sigh* if only there were enough games to make up for it. The only two games I've bought myself are both the GTA games.
Again, its not a bad number of units sold, considering the starting price. It just doesnt have alot of original games going for it and lets face it, UMD movies arent really a huge selling point. The one thing the GB, GBC, GBA and Nintendo DS has going for it, is games. When Sony realizes this and starts to produce solid gaming only titles for it, they will sell more.
As far as games, see Tekken-Dark Resurrection. It has to be my favorite hand-held game ever. And as far as why to get one, homebrew. The ability to emulate a 32-bit system, run .iso, run ps1 games, and emulate everything from MAME to Dreamcast. And it plays doom.
PSP owns for watching movies on and way better/cheaper at it than ipod. ipod has its place though, in the gym,car or jsut as its portable music player with video option it works but psp screens own for watching movies on.
PSP imo is the best handheld system out there. Homebrew on the PSP is awesome. Also games like Monster Hunter and Valkyrie Profile simply kick ass. Much better than anything DS has to offer. Oh and the fact that PSP works with Slingbox...The only down fall is that its too advanced for people. Sony always has a tendency to release things that are too difficult for most people to use, keeping in mind not everybody is as smart as most of us who are around technology all day. The PSP is far superior to any other hand held out there, its just that it falls into the wrong hands...
I love my PSP, however it was a freebie so that may colour my view of it. To be honest, I mostly use it for Video and some music, not really for gaming. A bit of GTA I guess. A 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo is only about £25 these day. Combine that with some ripped DVDs and Torrents, PSP Video 9 to make 'em MP4s, PSP Shuffle for Music and a pair of Headbanger headphones and its a great bit of kit. A DVB TV tuner would be a great idea too. The fact they are making it lighter and slimmer is good as it is a bit porky, but its not like Im going to buy another one so ...............
I got way too lazy to read all of this, but I've used a PSP before, aka playing a game and watching a movie, and it was a nice experience. If this slim-down gives a better battery life, that'd be great! And to people who are bashin' it saying Sony should shoot themselves... last time I checked 25 MILLION sold doesn't account for a "failure".
i also read the new version should also improve load times and give you better battery life here's the source
Want a PSP? Ebay my friends. I hate PSP, which is the exact reason that I sold the one that I found. $120 Australian which cant be more than $65US and it was in perfect condition. Still, you can probably buy a small dvd player with an LCD screen for a bit more.
Ok Lemmie Break this one up...... I doubt alot that bringing out a slimmer, lighter PSP out means that battry life will be extended. I maybe wrong but I highly doubt it even so. they might have found a way to cut more of the body off the PSP or Micro size the manufacture of the curcit bords but I doubt it will extend battry life. & if your moaning about battry life then maybe you need to default clock your PSPs CPU or your battry itself has had better days. get a new one if u look at it that way sure it hasnt been a "failure" but If u look at sales of other handhelds such as the DS you will see the difference in sales puts PSP as a "total Failure" Maybe it was Sonys marketing stratagy to let the Nintendo DS to rule the handheld market. maybe theyve got a plan ready to unleash & win back support & the global market.... From where I stand it doesnt look like it. theyve pretty much ignored the PSP from day one then the PS3 came out & Sony did say they were focusing ALL of their manpower on the PS3 so yet again the PSP becomes even more neglected...... like i said in an earlier post.... PSP has little & mostly CRAP games PSP has little to look forward to feature wise unless its pointless stuff such as a video out port so u can plug your psp into a tv & watch videos or play your games through.... I bet Sony has even outlawd the word 'PSP' in their work place as a sign of utter shame.
The psp has a good selection of both good and bad games just the same as any games machine DS games remind me of early spectrum/c64 ect games. Bit of an anticlimax when ya get ya ds game home and find the colorful box didnt quite reseble the game that looks like it was ported from a java mobile. fine for 5-10 year olds that dont know anybetter, but sat next to a psp with its games which resemble the type you play when ya get home to ya big console is no bad thing. I cant wait for god of war on psp myself. I dont expect the new psp to be downgradable (like latest current psp versions) but sony are hardly gonna embrace free iso loading are they. I realise its a stratagy that works for nintendo which make no attept at blocking flash carts. as for umd movies, I havent baught many but its not due to price since there sell for 3 for 10, or on newer ones 2 for 20 at gamestation which isnt to badly priced.
I'll second that, and you've got more in agreement on other forums. Say goodbye to homebrew for now. . . I don't really care about it and don't have one but here's a link to some more pictures of it and a video http://www.t3.co.uk/news/247/games/psp/psp-2-thin-and-lite. BTW the difference doesn't look impressive.

Bus is doing great -- -- I -- guy.
I want them to talk about it don't we got to cover.
Her analysts doubt now you don't have anything that well but still Great -- and have a good look -- I -- you -- -- of the amazing colossal man again it really looks like who we are under the oppression are a bunch of factual statements -- needed to correct from the -- -- -- -- really there isn't yeah yeah -- Halloween display shows President Obama in a web proved she said he thought it was cool the with a hammer and sickle on the money bag.
Was actually dollars on a real and yet it was part of it -- Well golly what color me all that all over the place I've never.
As best as I have in this moment and it when I don't get over the bus here and found that was filled with -- -- -- Hi I -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- PAB said.
This is stupid but of course they have the right to show the president spider web and will you also said that it's stupid and that it's not racist for coming out you put a black man in spot in a web it's clearly a spider -- Nobody thought about Clinton.
It's just what -- -- and he -- this kind of Brad Pitt read the racial accusations and that's why we -- rarely ever see a black Spiderman.
It's true what we did have to -- the black costume for -- -- yes yes it's.
And there I wasn't there with a campaign to get Donald Glover from community to be the new Spider-Man which I myself was part of it.
Hideaway the fact that you know that and the fact is you're involved in that there is a sad.
-- why he would have been a great item you were involved in it it was.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- He was trying to get an actor for community need to become black Spiderman and what else do you deal.
I do a lot of things you don't know about her.
Any say they'll start sank back and amputations want to get rid of the Electoral College.
But Stan Lee came out and said oh he didn't think a black man should play Spiderman because Spiderman is too well known I -- as a white person which I didn't like me man.
She valley preventing such a -- -- putting up Halloween decorations you said Greg did finally you know why it's named Simi Valley yes it was a joke.
-- -- He wanted to -- -- -- yes please can I come from the too much Indian word should be G.
Which means thread and it apparently referred to the presence of thread like clouds that some -- may be observed in the valley -- Well it's a beautiful place yes he has seen.
-- just.
Don't even bother.
Yeah not that -- -- hostilities at your 116 sex offenders in Simi Valley I believe that was the number in the article I checked online if I talked to 119.
Just when I my uncle thick and as -- buddies couldn't come -- they told me there are moving from Gilroy this weekend -- Here's something else.
So this is that there -- 69 registered sex offenders and Simi Valley -- -- publicly listed on the Megan's law website I think that means they committed -- There but there are this is total -- nineteen sex offenders living in the valley but this Halloween law treats all -- 119 the same and this is where I think the problem is.
If you're if you're drunk in public and you urinate yes you can be you can -- health status -- I know.
Bill pay attention.
You can be charged with indecent exposure which is a sex offense US -- -- treating those people the same as people who committed quote.
Lewd or lascivious acts with a child under fourteen years.
And people who had -- population with the victim unconscious of the nature of the attack -- sadder about the consumer.
Now you know I think the DOK -- candy this is actually had a different story that you're getting into which is actually pretty serious.
That there are people who like if you are busted for public urination -- -- sex offenders right that I mean that's actually serious story yet.
-- Friday where like you were in no where's bill -- you're bringing up a really heavy topic aren't that but it's true that it's horrible what I -- read -- the only.
The sixteen year old -- sex -- gap up -- I get your point I guess the biggest.
I still have no sympathy for people who want to give out candy on Halloween because there on this -- sex offenders ansari.
That's up right you can lose because you urinating in public not to say he's saying that's an exception but I agree but.
Put it physically of course about but it seems like about half of the people on the list or close to -- aren't felons.
And optimistic that same -- -- that -- stuff and and urination you know there was a lot of Spider-Man this would never happen I think you are.
-- -- -- He hit it violently that's what you call helping us out not a dead and absolutely but I actually pointing -- out which keeps us in the -- This.
Actually urination.
Okay -- PA gave I would thank you for defending the sex offenders thought that was excellent.
I'm not I that's for the out of context and it it you usually do -- -- be -- of that you raise the issue of continuing to punish sex offenders after they've been released which I think is a good issue.
But there are you know we see this in a lot of jurisdictions -- -- there are restricting where sex offenders can wind etc.
after they've served their time I don't.
Fully understand it is it is a little tricky but I also mainly sticking up for their relatives who are also caught up in the -- -- -- -- -- that -- Reference to previous.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That's that's -- Celtics -- been arriving here what -- I'm on the beaches for the odd Catalina.

It's you against the world,kid
Tonight is a good night.
I have developed a real positive feeling over the last couple of days. I see my obstacles, I acknowledge them, and I welcome them. I am aware of my path I'm really ready to walk it.
In the real world, and in dreams, our lives are the same: there is hope, there is conflict and there is resolution. No matter how tragic or spectacular, in the end, the outcome is always the best situation for the greater good. It all makes sense. I think that whatever my heartships, whatever my trouble and struggles may be, in the end, the outcome will be what needed to happen.
I am sitting tonight in good company, in good atmosphere, missing the road, missing my band and missing the fans, but this is a much needed break and deliberation period. I think I'm ready finally to take the load on without buckling under the stress and pressure.
I'm back to writing songs and being able to write without expectations, but just for the pure purpose for therapy and getting things off my chest and onto the paper, like heart web strings, making a home. I'm back!
I'm trying my hardest to put aside the paranoia and scare tactics that have been nailed into my head about the music business and taking chances. You know what I say? I am the exception. I don't are (respectfully) what the veterans and masterminds of the music industry think about the music industry. I am a songwriter and a musician and I like millions out there believe in what I'm doing and will continue on with what I'm doing at all cost, because it's my duty to, because it's the only thing I know how to do, and because there are millions of people who need me.
So,I love you fans, I love you music, I love you music industry experts, I love you famous music icons and I love you haters. I am one girl against the world and I am all packed up and ready to come and change your mind.

By Gary Brown
In addition to discussing concepts that shape a 2013 Convention proposal related to sickle cell trait confirmation, the Division III Management Council at its meeting on Monday and Tuesday reviewed other legislation on track for a vote in January.
Among proposals from the governance structure headed for the Convention floor is one that wouldn't allow a Division III school that is reclassifying to Division II to be eligible for Division III championship competition or Division III grant funding.
Current legislation in Division III, which pertains only to schools reclassifying to Division II, allows those reclassifying schools to be eligible for Division III championships competition until they reach Candidacy Year No. 2 in the three-year Division II membership process (unless the school chooses to immediately begin awarding financial aid, at which point they become ineligible for Division III championships).
The new policy would make reclassifying schools ineligible for both Division III championships and grant funding upon their acceptance into and commencement of the reclassifying process. (However, the Management Council raised whether some grants, such as those for diversity and inclusion purposes, should continue to be provided.)
The proposal, which comes with preliminary endorsement from the Division III Membership Committee, essentially increases the length of time a reclassifying school is precluded from any NCAA championship competition from two to three years.
The Membership Committee took up the matter in June when a Division III conference asked whether allowing championships access to a school in Candidacy Year No. 1 put opponents at a competitive disadvantage (the thought being that the reclassifying school could attract athletes with the promise of financial aid in subsequent years). The committee felt it was an important enough matter for the division to decide on the Convention floor.
The Management Council agreed, but because of the strategic nature of the proposal, the Presidents Council will review it for potential sponsorship at its Aug. 9 meeting.
The Management Council will sponsor another proposal for the 2013 Convention specifying that if a Division III student-athlete participates in athletics in conjunction with a study abroad or foreign exchange program that is recognized by his or her institution, then the student-athlete shall not trigger the outside-competition legislation or trigger the use of a season of participation (as is the case under current legislation).
The proposal from the Division III Interpretations and Legislation Committee is intended to ease concern for the many student-athletes who participate in a foreign exchange or study abroad program as a part of their collegiate experience. The ILC believes that modifying the legislation is consistent with the practice of permitting incoming exchange students to participate in athletics on Division III campuses.
Among other proposals the Management Council agreed to sponsor include:
The Council also reviewed a draft of legislation it agreed to sponsor in April that would permit the use of hand shields during the spring football strength and conditioning period. However, members wanted several points clarified and will review these points at their October meeting.
Membership-sponsored proposals
The Management Council also took a preliminary look at four legislative proposals from Division III member conferences submitted for the 2013 Convention. The Council did not take a stance on any of them but referred them to the appropriate committee for further review.
So far, only one of the proposals submitted by the July 15 legislation deadline is sponsored by at least two voting conferences, as required for consideration at the Convention. The other three will require another conference to join as co-sponsors by Sept. 1 to be considered.
The fully sponsored proposal from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference concerns electronic communication in recruiting. It seeks to add "private communication through a social networking site" to the allowable electronic communication that can be sent to a prospective student-athlete. The correspondence must be sent directly to the prospect (or his or her parents or legal guardians) and must be private between only the sender and recipient (for example, no use of public chat rooms, message boards, or public communication through a social networking site).
Division III adopted legislation at the 2012 Convention that regulates text messaging according to the same standard as telephone, email and fax correspondence in the recruiting process. That proposal did not include social media, however. A proposal that would have allowed social media to be included in the deregulations was withdrawn on the Convention floor.
But the MIAC and SLIAC cite growing concerns that "current prohibitions on electronic transmissions are outdated and lagging behind prospective student-athletes' use of technology."
DIII Management Council reacts to revised sickle cell trait conformation proposal
One-time change in men's basketball championship format approved
The sponsors say in their rationale that institutions have been permitted to send an unlimited number of emails to student-athletes for several years without ramifications regarding frequency or intrusion. They say this proposal "seeks to deregulate the current restrictions on private electronic communication through social networking sites as well as define private electronic correspondence in a broad manner in order to account for future advancement in technology."
The Management Council referred the proposal to the Interpretations and Legislation Committee and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for further review. During its July 20-22 meeting, the SAAC supported the concept but wanted clarity on what constitutes private communication in the social network realm.
The St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference also is behind another proposal that still needs co-sponsorship. The SLIAC wants to permit conferences to provide a postgraduate scholarship to one male and one female student-athlete, who have exhausted eligibility, similar to the NCAA's Postgraduate Scholarship program. The award, which would be permissive legislation and not exceed the $7,500 awarded through the NCAA program, would recognize the student-athlete's academic and athletics achievement as well as his or her community involvement.
To start the review process, the Management Council referred it to the Interpretations and Legislation Committee for additional study.
The other two proposals still needing co-sponsorship:
In other items at the Division III Management Council's July 23-24 meeting in Indianapolis, members:

Revision as of 21:37, 18 November 2006
Streaming Audio
Since the first Zauruses came on the scene, it's been possible to listen to streaming audio.
How well this works depends on a few things, but primarily it's the quality of the link from the Zaurus to the internet, both bandwidth/throughput and low latency/jitter.
With the 860 and faster processors, I have been able to listen to radio streams of 128kbps mp3, using wireless networking or usb networking.
There are many streams listed on www.shoutcast.com, simply save the .pls file and then open it in Kino2, or, read the file at the command shell and then open the stream using "mplayer", e.g. "mplayer mms://music.example.com/radio?xxx"
With streams from commercial radio stations such as ClassicFM in the UK, one of the tricky things can be to get the name of the stream, as many websites wrap the stream links up in javascripted pages, so it can be necessary to use a PC to view the source and trace it through to the final mms:// or rtsp:// etc url.
Here are some useful playlists:
