Thomas Hobbes' Green Bay Packers Offseason Blueprint
Posted in 2010 - 2011 Season,2011 - 2012 Season,2012 NFL Draft,Aaron Rodgers,AJ Hawk,B. J. Raji,Bryan Bulaga,Chad Clifton,Charlie Peprah,D.J. Smith,Daryn Colledge,Defense,Derek Sherrod,Desmond Bishop,Donald Driver,Erik Walden,Greg Jennings,Howard Green,James Jones,Jermichael Finley,Jordy Nelson,Marshall Newhouse,Matt Flynn,Offense,Packers Roster,Randall Cobb,Ryan Grant,Ryan Pickett,Sam Shields,Scott Wells,Ted Thompson,Thomas Hobbes,Tori Gurley by Thomas Hobbes
- Release LT Chad Clifton: The writing is on the wall. Even Chad Clifton knew that it was unlikely that he would ever finish his 3 year and had most of the money guaranteed up front (which was helped by the cap-less season before the lockout). Clifton has had issues staying healthy in the twilight of his career and this year was no different with Clifton being out for the majority of the season. Added to that a $5.5 million salary in 2012, ascending player in Bryan Bulaga, 1st round draft choice Derek Sherrod and up and at least a serviceable backup in Marshall Newhouse and the Packers have set themselves well for life after Clifton.
- Renegotiate Charles Woodson and Donald Driver contracts:
- Charles Woodson: Woodson has undeniably lost a step and his high-risk high-reward style of play backfired a couple times last season. Woodson currently leads the Packers roster with a salary of $11.5 million, some of which was a bonus for a NFL defensive player of the year award in 2009. But what Woodson is still capable of is shutting down the new breed of tight end, like Jermichael Finley. For instance, Woodson is still quick enough and physical enough to handle a Jimmy Graham, and I'm not sure who else on the defense could. Unfortunately Woodson will turn 36 next season and at some point he's going to have to realize that aging veterans start getting marginalized. Hopefully Woodson doesn't let his fiery attitude get in the way of business.

Compuquip Technologies cant stop for storms. The Doral company handles outsourced information technology tasks for other businesses and receives about 3,000 telephone calls a day for customer support. Thats why cautious Compuquip keeps copies of customer records, software applications and other computer files on remote hardware in a windowless, multi-tenant data center designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane.
"Our team could run our company out of a Starbucks or out of a hotel or anywhere there is Internet access," said Eric Dosal, president and chief executive officer. "In the event our office goes down, we have multiple options."
Low-tech precautions are critical to business continuity, too. Even the simplest errors in hurricane preparation can undo sophisticated efforts to minimize physical, digital and financial damage to a business . If a Category 1 storm or worse approaches, for example, Compuquips managers will remind employees to buy as much gasoline as possible so they can use mobile-phone battery chargers adapted for cars.
"We went through this with Wilma," Dosal said, referring to the 2005 hurricane that caused a multi-day electricity outage throughout South Florida, leaving many gasoline stations powerless and out of service. "When we get a hurricane advisory, we tell employees to fill up their tanks."
Good planning in the event of a bad storm is imperative for all enterprises and their employees, Richard Knabb, director of the National Hurricane Center, advised recently during the Miami Chamber of Commerces annual hurricane-preparation seminar.
"The worst possible thing you can do is not have a plan . . . I can assure that at my house and at the hurricane center, we have a written plan, and I implore you to do that," Knabb said. "If you dont know what you would tell your employees, if you dont know if you have enough of the proper insurance, if you dont know if your business or home is ready to take the winds of a hurricane, if you dont know if your home or business is in a storm-surge evacuation zone, find out all those things, and write down what your plan is going to be."
Contingency planning is especially crucial for companies like Compuquip that cant afford to go down for long. But almost any enterprise can become better prepared for a major storm without spending a small fortune.
Businesses should avoid the temptation to "over-engineer a solution thats way too expensive and ends up on a shelf," said Stefan Pittinger, vice president and general manager of the South Florida operations of Peak10, which helps businesses protect themselves from natural disasters and recover afterward.
Insisting on zero downtime and instant post-hurricane access to information technology may be overkill, depending on the business. "You need to identify, within your IT infrastructure, what you can do without for an hour," Pittinger said. "What can you do without for two hours? What you can do without for a week or two?"
Pittinger said companies typically want instant access to their most critical information technology in a disaster, so "the point-blank question is: Whats critical? The answer every single time is: Everything!" But companies usually lower their standards when they learn "its going to cost this much to get your operation up and running in 15 minutes, or this much in two hours, or this much in two days," he said. "Suddenly, everything isnt critical when you have a price point next to that."

Apple's new MacBook Pro with Retina display takes a new look at the high-end, pro-user notebook. Launched at the Worldwide Developer's Conference 2012 (WWDC 2012), it breaks with numerous traditions and leaves behind several legacy technologies.
Although the Apple laptop shares a lot of features with the entry-level MacBook Air range, it gives a high-end performance and reinvents the pro-level notebook for graphic artists, photographers and video editors.
The new Apple MacBook Pro's most exciting new feature is, of course, the Retina display. With a 2880 x 1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch, it crams over 5.1 million pixels into its 15.4-inch screen. That's over three million more than an HD TV.
The pixel density is so high that at normal viewing distance, your eyes can't distinguish between individual pixels, so text and images look really sharp and clear. According to Apple, it's the world's highest resolution notebook display.
OS X Mountain Lion: what you need to know
OS X Mountain Lion compatibility: will your Mac take it?
Looking at a perfectly good monitor or notebook after using the Retina MacBook Pro can be a painful experience. Screens you were happy with before look second rate when you've seen the Retina display. Take a trip to your local Apple store or stockist and have a play on a MacBook Pro with a Retina display, then take a look at an iMac or non-Retina notebook. The difference is astonishing.
Of course, you only get the full benefit from a Retina display while using applications that have been optimised for it. Unoptimised apps are upscaled to prevent their tools and text appearing really small. They look fine until you compare them to optimised applications.
Open a web page in both Safari (optimised) and Chrome (not optimised) on the Retina MacBook Pro, and Google's browser looks really tatty next to Apple's. That's not to say it's actually tatty. Compare it to your regular screen and you see an upscaled app is no worse. But Retina-optimised applications are so clear and crisp they make everything else look shoddy.
Best Ultrabook: 16 top thin and lights for 2012
Naturally, more and more software will be Retina-optimised over time. OS X 10.7 Lion and its bundled applications are optimised already, as are iPhoto, iMovie and, of course, Aperture. New versions ofPhotoshop and AutoCAD are in the pipeline, and no doubt games developers will want to get the most out of the new display too. Diablo 3 has already been optimised - we hope more will follow.
As well as the Retina resolution, the display also benefits from a revised design. The LCD glass is now directly integrated into the unibody casing, with the cover glass dropped. This gives 75% less reflection, and 29% better contrast.
It's also thin. Very thin. The new MacBook Pro with Retina display is 25% thinner and 1.1lbs lighter than the 15-inch late 2011 MacBook Pro. It's even slightly lighter than the 13-inch last generation MacBook Pro, and almost as thin as the MacBook Air.
A few changes had to be made to accommodate this ultra-thin form factor. The MagSafe power connector has been slimmed and renamed MagSafe 2; adaptors are available if you want to use your old power supply units or the Thunderbolt display.
See the new Retina-ready MacBook Pro side by side with the 2011 version, to compare:
The Ethernet and FireWire 800 ports proved too big to include, but Apple has released adaptors that fit the notebook's two Thunderbolt ports. The SDXC card reader is retained and an HDMI port has been added, and the two USB ports are now USB 3.0.
Like the similarly-thin MacBook Air, the new MacBook Pro with Retina display dispenses with the optical drive, and uses solid state storage instead of a hard drive.
Being a high-end luxury laptop, with prices starting at £1,799 in the UK and $2,199 in the US, the MacBook Pro with Retina display also boasts some impressive specifications.

The Mess in Europe
April 26, 2011
The disconnect in Europe just gets worse and worse, as I sadly predicted at least a few years ago, and have made a big deal out of over the last year, with the very pointed note that a European banking crisis is the #1 monster in my worry closet. Today, within 15 minutes of each other, I ran across the following three notes, from Zero Hedge, the London Telegraph, and the Financial Times, with a quote from Bloomberg as well. Read them all. And then try and figure out how they can all get what they want. There are going to be tears and lots of them somewhere. Greek three-year rates are now at 21%. And so I decided to link these three short pieces into your Outside the Box this week. To kick things off, a few teaser quotes and observations:
"On Saturday Jurgen Stark, an executive board member of the ECB, warned that a restructuring of debt in any of the troubled eurozone countries could trigger a banking crisis even worse than that of 2008.
"'A restructuring would be short-sighted and bring considerable drawbacks,' he told ZDF, the German broadcaster. 'In the worst case, the restructuring of a member state could overshadow the effects of the Lehman bankruptcy.'" (From the Telegraph, with more below.)
"There is 'no painless way' for countries that sought aid to reduce debt, while a restructuring may cut off the respective country from the financial markets for an unforeseeable time, Stark was quoted as saying. The only viable path for such countries is to 'strictly push through reform programs and repay debt in full,' the central banker was quoted as saying. Stark did not refer to a specific country." (Bloomberg)
Let me repeat a phrase here: "The only viable path for such countries is to 'strictly push through reform programs and repay debt in full.'"
But in a well-done column from Zero Hedge, which discusses a controversial Citibank report, we learn that, "In addition, no country with Debt/GDP ratio of more than 150% has ever avoided a default anyways. Why would Greece be different?" Athens has said it will also implement fiscal measures worth €26bn in an attempt to reduce the budget deficit to 1pc of GDP by 2015. The plans have sparked a fresh wave of anger in Greece and more threats of strikes and marches from trade unions.
But the Greeks are not the only ones who are unhappy. I wrote about the Finns last week. Now we jump to a marvelous Wolfgang Münchau piece from the Financial Times (www.ft.com), which gives us additional insight and points out that the Germans are getting rancorous. A quote from this must-read piece: "A premature Greek default would change everything. As would the failure by the EU and Portugal to agree a rescue package in time; or an escalation in the EU's dispute with Ireland over corporate taxes; or a ratification failure of the ESM in the German, Finnish or Dutch parliaments; or a German veto for a top-up loan for Greece in 2012; or the refusal by the Greek parliament to accept the new austerity measures; or a realisation that the Spanish cajas are in much worse shape than recognised, and that Spain cannot raise sufficient capital."
All this bodes for a great deal of volatility and uncertainty, which markets hate. This makes for a very interesting Outside the Box, and one you should ponder and that we will be visiting in the regular letter in the future. Gentle reader, this is important. Let's jump right in.
Your keeping one eye on Europe 24/7 analyst,

Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and underlying tissues that can affect any area of the body. It often begins in an area of broken skin, like a cut or scratch. Then bacteria invade and spread, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, warmth, and redness.
Conditions that create breaks in the skin and allow bacteria to enter, such as eczema and severe acne, will put a child at risk for cellulitis. Chickenpox, scratched insect bites, animal bites, and puncture wounds are other causes.
Cellulitis also can form in areas of intact skin, especially in people who have diabetes or who are taking medicines that suppress the immune system.
Orbital cellulitis, which infects the eyelid and tissues surrounding the eye, requires particularly close monitoring. It can be caused by minor trauma to the area around the eye (such as an insect bite or a scratch) or be an extension of another infection, such as sinusitis. This kind of cellulitis is treated with antibiotics and close follow-up. If untreated, it can progress to a more serious infection that affects vision.
Cellulitis, which is not contagious, usually begins as a small, inflamed area of pain, swelling, warmth, and redness on the skin. As this red area begins to spread, the child may begin to feel sick and develop a fever, sometimes with chills and sweats. Swollen lymph nodes (commonly called swollen glands) are sometimes found near the area of infected skin.
You can prevent cellulitis by protecting your child's skin from cuts, bruises, and scrapes. This may not be easy, especially with active kids who love to explore or play sports. Protective equipment worn to prevent other injuries also can protect skin, such as elbow and knee pads for skating, a helmet for bike riding, shin guards for soccer, long pants and long-sleeved shirts for hiking in the woods, sandals (not bare feet) on the beach, and seatbelts while riding in a motor vehicle.
If your child does get a scrape, wash the wound well with soap and water. Apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the wound with an adhesive bandage or gauze. Contact your doctor if your child has a large cut, deep puncture wound, or bite (animal or human).
The incubation period for cellulitis varies, depending on the type of bacteria causing it. Your doctor can diagnose cellulitis by asking a few questions and examining the area of affected skin.
Sometimes, especially in younger kids, a blood culture may be done to check for bacteria growth. A positive blood culture means that bacteria from the skin infection have spread into the bloodstream, a condition known as bacteremia. This can potentially lead to septicemia, an infection affecting many systems of the body.
A child with severe cellulitis may be treated in the hospital using intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Kids with milder cellulitis can be treated at home with antibiotics. The doctor also may recommend keeping the affected part of the body immobilized and elevated to reduce swelling and pain. Pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce discomfort.
After 1 or 2 days on antibiotics at home, a child will return to see the doctor, who'll check to see that the area of cellulitis has improved and that the antibiotics are working to heal the infection.
Call the doctor whenever any area of your child's skin becomes red, warm, and painful — with or without fever and chills. This is especially important if the affected skin is on the face or if your child has a chronic illness (like diabetes) or a condition that suppresses the immune system.
Because cellulitis can happen very quickly after an animal bite, call the doctor if your child is bitten by an animal, especially if the puncture wound is deep. Human bites also can cause skin infections and should be seen by a doctor. If red streaks develop from the infected area or symptoms worsen despite antibiotic treatment, your child should be re-examined.

Ogilvy-Bull: Wimbledon RFC want promotion, nothing else will do
1:00pm Friday 6th September 2013 in Rugby Union By Tim Ashton
Wimbledon RFC manager James Ogilvy-Bull has his sights set firmly on one thing – promotion to National League Three.
Dons start their London Division One South campaign at Havant on Saturday, with a mixture of old and new players that Ogilvy-Bull believes is the answer to success.
Among the arrivals at Beverley Meads are second row Jack Fishwick from Ealing Trailfinders, and centre Aaron Hopkins, formerly of Maidenhead.
Coming through the ranks are scrum halfs Rhys Morgan and Tommy Moore, while Ogilvy-Bull also welcomes back Rob Tait and skipper Chris Lewis to the back row after long-term injuries.
Tait will miss the trip to Havant, but is likely to be back for the visit of Chobham on September 14.
Ogilvy-Bull said: "Our main aim this season is promotion, either automatically or via the play-offs.
"We have added to the squad's strength in depth, and we have some excellent young players coming through and we're ready to have right go at it."
He added: "Having the likes of Rhys [Morgan] and Tommy [Moore] coming through the ranks is great for them and for the club, and I am sure they will excel."

Future Publishing has decided to pull the plug on the long running magazine which was dedicated to covering all things Nintendo. The final December 2012 issues cover features an homage to the first issues cover which featured Super Mario Bros. 2 on the front.
Ah yes, I saw a picture of that cover the other day and had a fit of nostalgia. Sad to see it go, but there isn't really a place for a magazine like that in this day and age...
Is still there a place, or rather a purpose, for any magazine on paper? I am afraid not.
Magazines today are like blogs curated for the enjoyment of rich people whose time is too valuable to squander looking for the next great life-improving thing.
The 3DS just isn't enough of a luxury item for this crowd to support it.
What I want to know is: did Howard & Nester make a closing appearance?

Good! It's important to celebrate the nostalgia that counts 8)

Gamasutra posted this excellent piece the other day. It's basically Howard Philips and Gail Tilden just talking about how the whole thing got started back in 1987, when there was virtually no games press in North America to speak of. Great nostalgic reading. :)
Future Publishing does NOTHING but kill magazines.
It's companies like that who transformed fun and interesting magazines in nothing more than advertisement space.
There are still a few mags run by people who actually care about video games (i.e. the journalists themselves), and those are a whole different deal, they're actually good, if you can imagine such a thing.
In the German-speaking area they will always be remembered for killing the venerable PC Player magazine (after turning it into a PC Gamer clone).
A shame, but i suppose times are changing. We didn't used to have the internet. Now we know everything at the same time as the journalists!
2012 was a BAD year for press. Not only NP is dead....
Poland - KS Gry and Play (13 years...) was buried. ;(
I quit buying gaming magazines in 2001.
Games are mostly light entertainment relying on what's new, because of this the best medium for reviews etc. is the Internet. The crowd wants information, fast. Only some picky (pseudo?:D)intellectuals would pay for printed independent in-depth reviews - is there enough of them to make it worthwhile? ($$$-wise) In 2008/9 I begun writing to console-oriented (eek!) mag Engarde... it died after just 4 issues due to incompetent owner/editor (but that's common in my country :/ ). I had to wait 5 months for my petty pay to arrive. I don't know which online magazine would pay me for my articles... Rola Wrote:

I'm sure if my roommate can get paid to write squealing fanboy drivel for a website that shall go unnamed, someone who actually has something insightful to say shouldn't have any trouble finding a place to publish their work, right? ...right? =|
I do agree that printed magazines can no longer, and don't have to, compete in the breaking news department. Most of them have scaled the news sections back to a short monthly summary, which is good. But apart from the obvious advantages of having something on paper rather than digitally, there are still many things a printed mag can do better than any website ever will. The magazines have (had) to adapt, but they still have their place.
One of the most important of them being selectivity and consistency. The web's biggest strength is its biggest weakness. Unlimited content, by anyone and everyone. And its effect that you're no longer surprised by content you didn't expect, because you only read what you are specifically looking for. Magazines need to capitalize on having a team you get to know, with a consistent writing style you get to know, having the most contacts and industry access, etc. and of course doing the less time-relevant things where they can outshine websites, like background features. And I have yet to find a website that is as fun, balanced and easy to "just read" as a well-made magazine. Professional layout and editorial processes go a long way. I still have my magazine subscription from 1998 because, while I'm sure you could find a lot of similar content on the web for free, I can't get it as good easily and in one place. Also, that my particular magazine includes one or two full version games each month helps justify the subscription :)
I'd start with the full games as selling point.
Past that, I'd say pretty much get rid of whatever can be easily found in hundreds if not thousands of places on-line way before the magazine hits the stands. So, yes, I'd go as far as eliminating reviews and previews of major titles, or maybe just leave one per issue for a cover image that people would relate to something they know, and replace them with reviews and previews of titles in danger of slipping under the radar, digging up older good games that have either been largely forgotten or undeservedly failed to make an impact even at launch, maybe games that failed due to bugs or flaws that have been since thoroughly patched, officially or (most likely in such cases) not. Get rid of news with an impact too, maybe if you have a news section at all focus on a few stories that slipped past largely unnoticed. Plus, of course, add some in-depth features, maybe something about making games (likely presenting tools/editors, not a programming course), maybe something about local gaming, be it developers (most preferably independent, not branches or contract workers of the major international companies), pro gamers, events... Think magazines could still make a living on that... But, again, start from the full games... Which tend to feed on themselves. Give good ones (if obviously not new - much better to have a great title that's 5-10 years old, as long as it's patched to work well on new systems, than an average one that's 1-3 years old), people buy the magazine for the game, you have large numbers to offer to distributors when requesting deals for more good games. Give bad ones, far fewer people will buy, distributors will see they're not getting too much for the discounts they make you and you'll only be able to get even worse games from then on...
These are all very good points, and in fact the magazine I'm subscribed to does a lot of it. I don't know about the others, but I would assume that those who survived these last years did to some degree as well.
News used to be maybe a dozen pages, it's about four now, more of a summary. Not the detailed chronology of events that you can get on websites, only the big stuff that you probably should know, even if you don't read gaming news websites (like me) or missed something. Things like, this franchise has been announced to continue, that big studio went out of business, this famous game designer said something incredibly stupid. I still think that this is an important part of a magazine. Not because you couldn't find it anywhere else, but because it gives a short overview and makes for nice flashback material later on. As for the rest, reviews make up a lot less of the magazine than back in the days. I think I did the numbers in another thread here; it's about 1/3 or 1/4 of the number of games they reviewed per month 10 years ago. The focus has shifted to previews a bit, I assume because that's where industry contacts can get you stuff not every community website author has. But probably the most interesting are their other editorial sections: a section on Indie developments, free games and mods that they think are worth reporting on; a section with gaming-related (sometimes academic) articles on politics and society; interviews, visits at local studios, making-ofs and post-mortems; a "hall of fame" section revisiting classic games and game series; and a satire page. Together, definitely the most interesting parts and I suppose the main reason for people to still buy them. And on the DVDs I hear they're still making those editorial videos, although I haven't watched them in years (don't know why). I remember the amazingly trashy but funny video reviews they used to do. Definitely a unique selling point! So yes to all the things you suggest adding, but I don't think it would do them any favours to drop reporting on the popular stuff. They're a big part of newsstand sales still. It's just something you expect, and I think for many people the really big and omnipresent titles are all the more reason to read about them in a print magazine rather than on a website. They're usually under less pressure to be the first ones to post a review, and because the people writing them are professionals, you'd assume they're less prone to fall prey to premature judgements because of the hype. I know this is not the case for all print mags, but it is one of their potential strengths. I would hope even the web 2.0 kids see the value in something where not everyone is allowed to contribute.
Was saying to drop them not because there's something wrong with seeing them there, but because you can't keep adding things without removing others. Or, sure, you can, but that leads you to one of the following scenarios:
- A decently sized and decently paid staff that ends up overworked. Sooner or later, depending on how much they really like what they're doing, they'll start cracking and messing up or leaving directly. - A large staff, but an underpaid one, to keep costs within sustainable levels. More or less gets you right back to the above scenario, they'll crack sooner or later, plus that the more people you need, the harder it is to find only those that are skilled and dedicated. - A large and decently paid staff. Unsustainable from magazine sales, so you'll need to do the off-line equivalent of all the shit that the current major sites do to stay afloat and lose all those advantages you named that magazines still have.
Yeah, that's true. I think scaling back the news section to a quick summary would be viable though. You don't need people whose full-time occupation is to scour all press release sections daily and call up contacts anymore. If you're only going to write a few sentences about the most important headlines (interested readers will look it up online anyway), that can probably be some lower percentage of a regular editor's job.
It's more difficult for reviews, since what takes time is actually testing the game. You probably don't save much time by just giving an overhyped game less coverage. But I also think if everyone seems to be talking about and waiting for, say, Mass Effect 4, it would be weird if a magazine didn't cover it. People probably wouldn't accept the response that you can read about it anywhere on the web anyway. The reason they subscribe is because they'd prefer hearing about it from their trusted source. If everybody else is writing about it anyway, then the unique selling point just has to be that their article is much better, in whatever way. (Edited by Indra is awakening...

I have yet to figure out if gamers know the difference between a review and an emotional evaluation...or simply a consumer review.

Some magazines here in Brazil started giving games back in the 90s and today the magazine is just a 4 pages quick guide for the game bundled.
Hey, better than vanishing completely.

I agree. I generally like print magazines much more than websites (MobyGames excluded). Even on the best websites I just skim the headlines in my RSS reader and read the things which sound really interesting. In print magazines I read almost everything and discover interesting things I'd never notice on websites. In fact, during the last years I even subscribed to additional (gaming) magazines. But I could not care less about full versions. I think they eat up a lot of licensing costs for nothing (Steam sales!) and hold magazines back.
Websites for information, magazines for reading. (Edited by Indra is awakening... (16450), Feb 19, 2013) Re: Nintendo Power releases its last issue. Indra is awakening... (16450), Feb 19, 2013 Daniel Saner Wrote:

Used to buy magazines based on this. Wizards of the Coast magazine, Times, and Asia Newsweek...and due to exposure from reading articles from Playboy Mansion, Playboy seems like a nice read. More or less capable of making you read stuff you're not primarily interested in. Business Week is still the dullest piece of magazine literature I've read. Including practically 100% of internet news, blogs, and practically anything on the net. Gawd, reading political blogs is painful. Come to think of it, what online source is really worth reading? Only place I know is Cracked...and for the most part for reading the user comments.
You're right, but as I said, this requires readers with better refinement = less customers. Now what, we have to increase the price to compensate this? That's what is done when a product moves to a higher shelf.
In the world where games are illegally copied on a daily basis, are there enough rich game collectors, enthusiasts, researchers, connoisseurs etc. who could afford such elitist gaming mag? Because you don't expect teens appreciating those fine points about quality you've described (I take you aim at twentysomethings with decent income?). What about countries where legal software was introduced only in mid-1990s? It's true that we're searching for things we know that exist, other stuff must be introduced to us. Usually by someone knowledgeable. Few years ago, before I could see hipsters on billboards, I had an idea about a magazine promoting vintage/retro culture. A bit of everything, almost like Playboy ;) After all, I saw at the newsagent's 2-3 magazines about wine (I don't live in France, who buys this here?), so I hoped there will be readers for my printed mag. Sadly, all the people I told about this said I should stick to an e-zine... Perhaps my cautious approach stems from the fact that I live in a country which society still doesn't have living standards on a par with Western Europe.
Has anyone checked out Nintendo Force Magazine yet? A bunch of fan site people banded together to try and create the spiritual successor to Nintendo Power. I haven't bought an issue yet but what I've seen looks good.

> I can amplify that point. A commercial CFD application ran significantly > slower using 4 threads vs 2 on a dual Prestonia system. Anything memory > limited will probably behave the same way. well, it's an interesting issue. afaikt, the benefit of HT depends on what degree your app leaves idle resources. for instance, if everything you run is thrashing your dram bandwidth (big arrays, perhaps), then forget HT - it doesn't add extra dimms! similarly, if the CPU has just one fsqrt unit, and that's your bottleneck, HT doesn't add more units. there are other resource nonlinearities, like cache hitrate - the same effect that gives rise to superlinear SMP speedup will slaughter some apps run on HT... but if there's other work to be done while one thread is spinning sqrt's, ie, there are idle resources, then a thread that uses them will show HT profit... in some sense, HT works precisely when the system's resources *don't* match the optimal set your app wants. I wonder if/when Intel will start pouring in hordes of extra functional units, since another 50M transistors will only improve the cache hit rate a little bit... of course, it's also true that HT makes bigger TLB's and more associative caches attractive...

Last Address
In the spring of 1981, the Center of Disease Control first reported than an unknown illness impacting, the human immune system has been detected in a handful of gay men in the United States. It was the first public acknowledgement of what would come to be known as AIDS, and by the end of the decade it would become one of the most devastating and feared diseases in the world. AIDS would have an especially terrible impact on the creative community in New York City, with a number of noted artists, musicians, authors, directors and actors losing their lives after being exposed to the HIV virus. Ira Sachs, born in Tennessee, moved to New York City in 1984, and witnessed the impact of AIDS as he began working in theater and film. Last Address is a short tribute to the creative voices who were silenced by AIDS; the film consists of a series of images of the buildings where such artists as Robert Mapplethorpe, Klaus Nomi, Keith Haring, Norman Rene and many others were living at the time they died. Last Address was an official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Delta
In this dreamy, gay-themed indie, the debut from writer/director Ira Sachs, two young Southerners from very different backgrounds come together, move apart and continue on their separate paths -- with surprising results. Inarticulate, handsome Lincoln Bloom (Shayne Gray), son of an affluent Jewish family in Memphis, TN, cruises the gut looking for gay sex but also leads a second existence hanging out with his rowdy high-school friends, including Monica (Rachel Zan Huss), his dainty blond girlfriend. One night, Lincoln enjoys wordless sex with Ming Nguyen (Thang Chan), aka John, the immigrant son of an American G.I. and a Vietnamese woman. Another night, after an encounter with a businessman whose unusual predilections bewilder him, Lincoln meets John a second time in an adult bookstore. The slightly older man matter-of-factly convinces Lincoln to hang out with him; the two grab some beers and set out on the Mississippi in Lincoln's dad's boat. Along the way, John shares his life story and sense of frustration at not belonging in either his homeland or America; Lincoln isn't quite sure how to respond. After an entire day of hanging out together at various port towns along the river, the pair get in trouble with the police, resulting in a violent falling out. Lincoln returns to Memphis in his boat, looks up Monica, and faces his father's wrath. Meanwhile, John makes his way home as best he can, settles back into his routine as a disgruntled, sometimes ostracized layabout, and finally seeks out another sexual encounter -- one with a decidedly unexpected conclusion. Memphis native Sachs cast the semi-autobiographical The Delta with non-actors after trawling the pool halls and watering holes of his hometown for several months. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

A woman who has drifted away from her boyfriend's affections finds love in the arms of his son in this independent drama. Laura (Dina Korzun) is an attractive woman in her early thirties who was living in her native Russia when she met Alan James (Rip Torn), a legendary music producer from Memphis. Alan brought Laura back to the United States and moved in with her, but now that the couple have a three-year-old son, Laura finds herself a stranger in the city she now calls home and is growing increasingly distant from the philandering Alan. After a testimonial tribute to Alan, Laura meets his grown son Michael (Darren E. Burrows) for the first time; Michael has a difficult and sometimes combative relationship with Alan and prefers to keep a distance from him and his life, but Michael and Laura find they quickly develop a strong rapport. Laura and Michael's friendship soon grows into an affair, but as Laura considers her unhappiness with Alan, she also feels guilty about betraying a man who has given her a life she would hardly have dared to dream of when she was younger. Forty Shades of Blue was helmed by Ira Sachs (who earned enthusiastic reviews for his 1997 debut feature The Delta), from a script he co-wrote with Michael Rohatyn. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After entering into a passionate affair with a much younger woman, an unhappily married man resorts to murder as a means of eliminating his wife in director Ira Sachs' period melodrama. Set in the 1940s, Marriage tells the tale of Harry (Chris Cooper) -- a man whose wife, Pat (Patricia Clarkson), only wants sex. Smitten by the beautiful Kay (Rachel McAdams) but ultra-sensitive to his wife's feelings -- so sensitive that he can't stand the thought of breaking her heart -- Harry opts to poison his wife as a means of allowing the marriage to end with her pride still intact. Harry's scheme soon goes horribly awry, however, when after revealing the plan to his best friend, Richard (Pierce Brosnan), Richard too falls in love with the ethereal young beauty and sets into motion a cunning plan all his own. A serpentine tale of murderous deception, Marriage was co-scripted by director Sachs and screenwriter Oren Moverman. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ducks Tagged as Candidates for More National Awards
Preseason football honors continue to roll in for a handful of Oregon seniors as offensive guard Carson York was named to the watch list for the Outland Trophy while John Boyett and Dion Jordan were tabbed as players to watch for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy.
The Nagurski Trophy is awarded annually to the nations best defensive player by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte (NC) Touchdown Club, while the Outland Trophy is given to the best interior lineman in college football.
It marks the second such preseason mention garnered by both Boyett and Jordan as they were previously named to the watch list for the Bednarik Award also given to the top defensive player in the country since 1995.
The Nagurski Trophy recipient is chosen from five finalists who are all part of the FWAA All-America Team.
York started all 14 games for Oregon a year ago

Score free chikin
My sister is such a Chick-fil-A freak that she and her co-workers once dressed up as cows to win a free lunch at one of the restaurant locations in South Carolina.
It's no surprise, then, that she was the one who sent me an e-mail announcing an upcoming chance for all of us to score free chicken strips on Labor Day at a Chick-fil-A near us.
According to the company's promotional site, all you've got to do is visit a participating Chick-fil-A between 10:30 a.m. and closing time on Labor Day wearing any clothing or accessory that has a collegiate logo, or the logo of your favorite recreational football team, middle or high school football team, or professional football team.
If you do that, you're eligible for three of the restaurant's new chicken strips, which they are advertising as "bigger, tastier and dippier." I guess this promotion serves as advertisement for their new strips as well as a celebration that football season is upon us. I can handle that!
In other news, please make sure to post a comment about why you want to win "Eat, Shrink & Be Merry" by Janet & Greta Podleski. The Cookbook Giveaway ends at 5 p.m. today and I'll announce the winner tomorrow.
Stay dry. Eat a bowl of soup. Warm up.

Oil-Free Air And Energy Recovery: A Must For Food Manufacturers
July 15, 2013 8:02 am | by Bob Baker and Trey Ragsdale, Atlas Copco CompressorsIn food manufacturing, compressed air is used in processes such as ingredient mixing, pneumatic conveyance and packaging, among others. In the industry, this is referred to as 'active' air; because it touches the final product in many food manufacturing applications, the air must be clean and free of any potential contaminants.
Lean Energy Management In Manufacturing

Few manufacturing managers are not familiar with the idea of lean manufacturing having come of age in the 1980s. This movement has effectively created the low-cost, wide variety product universe in which we live now. Industrialized societies have become so efficient at making stuff in such variety that we're literally drowning in it.

Your suppliers are now an extension of your company. This is especially true in manufacturing. For instance, there are companies that will manage all your maintenance and repair parts within your own facility. These companies essentially fund and staff an MRO "parts cage" on the factory floor.

'Rightsourcing' — A Better Procurement Model For Manufacturers

There's vigorous — and at times emotional — argument surrounding strategies for insourcing, outsourcing, near sourcing or keeping it in-house. The argument really shouldn't focus on the fervent and at times politically-tinged abstractions of what flag flies over the factory, but rather what's best for your business.
ISM: Manufacturing Back On Track
July 8, 2013 8:02 am | by Jon Minnick, Associate Editor, Manufacturing Business TechnologyEconomic activity in the manufacturing sector returned to a slow, steady expansion in June, say the nation's supply executives in the latest ISM Report On Business. The PMI number indicated expansion in manufacturing for the fifth time in six months, reversing May's contracting PMI rate of 49 percentage points.

Video: Plumstead flats flood, in Villas Road, 'like Titanic' as residents face evacuation
10:48am Friday 12th October 2012 in News Exclusive By Sarah Trotter
RESIDENTS face being evacuated from their block of flats which was flooded in a scene like the "Titanic" after thieves stole copper piping.
The nightmare continues for people living in Villas Road after a ten-storey building was flooded with water followed by an electrical fire.
Copper piping ripped out of the water tanks in the roof caused the mass flooding which has damaged a number of the 40-flat block.
Two fire engines from Plumstead were called at 1.50pm on Thursday (October 11) to stop the flow of water and had to return at around 11pm after a fuse-box caught fire.
David Gregory, who lives on the bottom floor of the flats, heard the electrical explosion outside his door and had water coming in his apartment.
He said: "It was like the Titanic.
"People with families were crying."
Chan Man lives on the second floor and had to stay in his car to keep warm after being evacuated during the fire.
The 34-year-old said: 'I heard a noise. I thought it was some kids but when I opened the door I saw water running down the stairs.
"I had to leave last night – people came back around 12pm I sat in my car for two hours to keep warm."
Mr Man says the water was about a foot deep on the stairwell and was also gushing through his light fitting.
A Greenwich Council spokesman said: "Royal Borough of Greenwich staff were on site as soon as we were alerted to the flooding of a block of flats on Villas Road on Thursday afternoon.
"We worked with Thames Water and the London Fire Service to stop the flow of water.
"Our staff remained on site overnight to provide support to the residents, and two families needed to be rehoused. "We are continuing to work on site, with the priority being to reinstate electrical supply to this block. The block needs to be dried out before full electricity supply can be restored.
"Our current assessment is that the block will not be habitable until after the weekend and we are therefore making arrangements to find temporary accommodation for all affected households. A rest area has also been made available for residents to use.
"At this stage it would appear that the flood resulted from the theft of copper parts in the two main water tanks in the block, and we are examining CCTV footage to see what evidence this might contain.
Anyone with information about the crime is urged to call Sergeant Craig Johnson and the Glyndon Safe Neighbourhoods team on 020 8721 2638.

OCSO Investigators are trying to identify and make contact with the individual in a home surveillance video to see if he can provide any information that may help in the death investigation of Misty Medrano. The 30-year old Medrano was found deceased around 7 a.m. the morning of April 14th in the waters of Rocky Bayou Bay, near the area at the end of 11th Street in Niceville. Investigators want to find out if the man in the video driving the light-colored pick-up truck, who may have been fishing or kayacking in that area the evening before, saw or heard anything that could benefit the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office at (850) 609-2000 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 863-TIPS. Autopsy results on Medrano are still awaiting toxicology analysis.
