According to an October 2012 report from the Pew Research Center, "50% of the public now cites the internet as a main source for national and international news". Concurrently, the preference for mobile devices is growing, with "50% of U.S. adults owning either a tablet or a smartphone" and news readers using an app on a tablet (23% ) or a smartphone (28%).
The purpose of this blog is to present two library subscription databases of current information for newspapers, news journals and fact-gathering sources with mobile access.
Most of us are well familiar with the downloadable apps for BBC news, CNN, the Drudge report, the Huffington Post, NPR , the New York Times, the Washington Post or the British American news website the Mashable. These popular sites provide engaging and up-to-date news reports in a socially and visually attractive style. They are increasingly adding digital ads that run the gamut from "banner ads" to "sponsorship" and "search ads". While these sites may satisfy most readers, researchers in an academic setting wish to go beyond reading or reacting to articles on these web sites, and, in general, do not expect ads. They are looking for fuller content as well as functionality that come only with subscription services. These are fee-based, thus included in the Library budgets, available only to users of the home institution and free of commercial ads. Here at the Brown Library, we have two subscriptions that offer such functionality: Lexis Nexis Academic and Proquest Services.
To access these databases remotely and gain the same functionality you are accustomed to from desktop or laptop computers, you will need to either be on campus or authenticate into the product remotely.
Lexis Nexis Academic
Lexis Nexis Academic service on which Brown researchers rely to find news articles by state, nationally or internationally offers a mobile news search support app. This version of the Lexis-Nexis database, specifically tailored for universities and colleges is designed specifically for iOS devices: iPhone, iPad and iPhone Touch. It includes many news sources (local, state, national and international), magazines and wire services and the following features:
• broaden queries to multiple sources
• search newspaper archives
• narrow down to a specific range of date, a byline or section
• sort search results
• translate search results
• download or email full-text content
• export citations to a bibliographic citation management tool.
Screenshot of the Lexis Nexis Mobile Search and Article Display
The Proquest Company which is the Brown Library content provider for major U.S. and Latin American newspapers has launched a "beta" version of its interface for iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry and tablet devices which is optimized for basic searches. No app download or installation is necessary to access the three major newspaper packages:
• National Newspapers Expanded
• Latin American Newspapers
• Historical Newspapers
For tablet devices, enter the URL search.proquest.com. For smartphones, enter the URL: http://m.search.proquest.com.revproxy.brown.edu.
You will be able to:
• select one or more databases
• launch keyword or advanced searches
• login to your own account
• view PDFs
• email full-text content (downloading documents is currently not supported)
The interface of the current ProQuest mobile is only available in English, but non-English content is available.
This Proquest video is a great way to familiarize yourself with the mobile device browser.

Life doesn't always have to be go, go, go. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and unwind on a Pacific cruise.
You might like to let off steam by trying lots of exciting things, or just kicking back and going with the flow. Hey, no need to choose, we've got both angles covered.
First up, take a stroll through the colonial architecture in Noumea. Then grab your snorkel and goggles and hang with the weird and wonderful marine life on Vanuatu's Mystery Island. Then cruise to Fiji to feast yourself silly at a beachside BBQ in Port Denarau before watching a Fijian Fire Walking and Cultural show (any volunteers?). Next it's time to give the credit card a workout with all the duty free bargains in the Fijian capital, Suva.
Or if you're feeling super cultural you can visit Sawani Village and meet a real life Fijian warrior. Don't be scared, they're big softies.
Then cruise back to New Caledonia to get lost among the famous pines on the aptly named Isle of Pines. Like the sound of that?
Well lucky for you, somewhere in the picture-postcard South Pacific, there's a Carnival cruise holiday with your name on it. Make your booking today!
Get your pirate persona out and hunt for some treasures me hearties.
It won't take long to find your French side in this city. See for yourself mon ami.
Also known as "The Jewel of The Pacific". Ooh, sounds pretty. Sounds sparkly. Sounds pretty spot on.
Beautiful, breathtaking, adventure packed, stunning, picturesque, pristine... and that's just for starters
Can you smell that? Smells like fun. Smells like adventure. Smells like... your cup of tea.
Look at that white powdery sand. Kinda makes you want to make a sand angel, doesn't it?
A flawless destination for relaxation, exporation and culture.
No electricity, no mobile phones, no roads. Sounds like no worries to me.
Mare is the Pacific Islands at their best. The water's so crystal clear blue it looks fake!
So what does this Capital city have to offer? A little bit of everything
Gee, it's hard to feel blue when you're surrounded by so much, well... blue.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Wintergreen Resort is getting recognition for a project that more than doubled the Nelson County ski resort's snowmaking capability.
The Daily Progress (http://bit.ly/1c6ttS9 ) reports that Wintergreen received the Honor Award for Engineering Excellence from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Virginia.
The council described the resort's recently completed installation of a new 5 million gallon water storage tank and upgrades to its computerized snowmaking equipment as "a decade of improvements in 120 days."
The $6 million project was headed by architectural and engineering firm Wiley Wilson. The resort says the improvements allow it to make twice as much snow twice as fast.

Junior transfer Andre Davis scored three first-quarter touchdowns and junior Brian Nguyen also had three scores as the Sedona Red Rock Scorpions football team hammered the Piñon Eagles 49-0 in Sedona's home opener Friday, Sept. 6.
Despite a constant rain throughout the first half of the game, the Sedona offense used its superior speed around the edge to simply run past the Eagles for several long touchdowns.
But Scorpions coach Rick Walsworth was not necessarily pleased with the way his offense executed its game plan.
"Right now on offense we're existing on skill," Walsworth said. "We've got some guys with some speed, and you get them on the perimeter and they're hard to catch.
"But we've got to get better at executing our base plays and making sure we're blocking the guys we're supposed to be blocking — we want to move the line of scrimmage, making sure we're making our reads correctly."
For the full story, please see the Wednesday, Sept. 11, issue of the Sedona Red Rock News.

CLEVELAND, June 19, 2013 – Ford Motor Company Fund is Honor Flight Cleveland's first corporate sponsor after six years and nearly 50 flights to transport World War II veterans to visit the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Ford Fund is covering the cost of the trip to Washington, D.C. for 25 Ohio veterans to experience the national memorials dedicated in their honor, more than 60 years after the end of World War II.
"It is an honor and privilege to travel to Washington, D.C., alongside these brave Americans who served our country nearly 70 years ago," said Bob Gillingham, dealer principal of Bob Gillingham Ford and an Army veteran. "Ford Fund's generous contribution is providing a fitting remembrance of the lasting impact of and appreciation for their historic sacrifice."
The World War II Honor Flight veterans, who are in their late eighties and nineties, along with their guardians, are being greeted in Washington, D.C. by members of Congress and Ford employees at the memorial. They also are visiting the Air Force Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. The trip was organized by Honor Flight Cleveland (honorflightcleveland.com), the northeast Ohio hub of the Honor Flight Network
Ford Fund also is sponsoring a flight in September through the Honor Flight Network of Kansas City and recently sponsored an Honor Flight for Kentucky veterans. Ford is providing more than $50,000 toward Honor Flights this year, similar to the level of support it contributed in 2012.
Ford Motor Company's support for veterans dates back more than 90 years when Henry Ford led his first cross-country caravan of 50 Ford Model Ts to transport disabled veterans to their convention. Since 1974 Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund have provided more than $8 million to veterans organizations, including support for the National World War II Memorial.
The Ford Veterans Network Group, one of Ford's corporately supported Employee Resource Groups, sponsors activities in support of its veterans, military personnel and their families. Ford employs more than 7,000 U.S. veterans and hundreds of U.S. Reservists and Guardsmen and active military personnel.

There's no question Beyoncé's rendition of the national anthem was a roaring success. The mystery: was it live or lip synced?
On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marine Band told news outlets that Beyoncé had lip synced at President Obama's inauguration.
But by late afternoon, the Marine Corps backed off that statement.
Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf said that because there was no opportunity for Beyoncé to rehearse with the Marine Band, it was determined that a live performance by the band was ill advised. Instead they used a pre-recorded track for the band's portion.
Regarding Ms. Knowles-Carter's vocal performance, Wolf's statement continued, no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded.
Boy bands to tour
New Kids On the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men are teaming up for a summer tour.
The groups announced The Package Tour on Tuesday on The View.
The tour starts May 31 in Uncasville, Conn.
Mama leads
The top five movies from the four-day holiday weekend box office:
1. Mama, $32.1 million
2. Zero Dark Thirty, $18.6 million
3. Silver Linings Playbook, $12.7 million
4. Gangster Squad, $10.1 million
5. Broken City, $9.5 million
Happy birthday
Actress Chita Rivera is 80. Actor Gil Gerard is 70. Singer Anita Pointer is 65. Actor Richard Dean Anderson is 63. Actress Mariska Hargitay is 49. Actress Tiffani Thiessen is 39.

Family Stories
February of 2011 is a month the Fick family will never forget. It was then that five-year-old Brendan was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor, a type of childhood kidney cancer. The family's world was turned upside down by the diagnosis, but knew they had to face the illness head on by starting treatment.
"His diagnosis rocked our world," explained Bridget, Brendan's mother; as any family would feel in the first moments of a child's medical crisis. It was extremely hard at first having to handle the situation, but as the days moved on, Bridget and the family found comfort with Brendan's progress. "He did beautifully and was so brave during the treatment," Bridget said.
Luckily for Brendan, throughout his treatments he had the love and additional support from his older twin sisters, Riley and Mackenzie. The twins took on a new role in their household and acted as a second set of moms for Brendan. It was really hard on the girls at first; but going through it together made it easier for them to help keep their brother positive during this trying time.
In the wake of his February diagnosis, their social worker at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center directed the family to The Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation and its programs. Before long, Brendan's Aunt Megan decided to form a team for Believe In Tomorrow's 15th Annual Port To Fort 6k race. The team name needed to personify the boy they were going to run for, but it took a little bit to figure it out. With a stroke of genius Aunt Megan came up with "Brendino's Pit Crew," a hybrid of Brendan's nickname from his buddies and his love of NASCAR racing. The name really stuck and all the t-shirts were created with a mock-up of the NASCAR colors and checkered flags! What a bright and fun way to bring awareness to helping Believe In Tomorrow and the Fick family.
Brendino's Pit Crew grew rapidly in only a few short months. On race day, April 10, 2011, the team had grown to over 80 people, raising more than $4,000! Brendan loved the turnout on race day, and of course the NASCAR theme. The icing on the cake of a great day was the checkered flags that everyone carried over the finish line. The amount of support and love given that day provided the Fick family hope for Brendan's future and determination to beat this illness.
Although Brendan and his family have not been able to go on a respite yet due to his treatments, his sights are set on The Believe In Tomorrow House on Wisp Mountain. "He and his sisters are really getting into the snow tubing and winter sports," explained Bridget, "but just spending time together as a family will be what I am looking forward to most."
Brendan is now six months post treatment and his mother boasts that he is doing well! Brendino's Pit Crew is signed up for another year of racing fun at the 16th Annual Port to Fort 6k race, and we cannot wait to see the turnout for this year. Looks like the team is getting revved up for another good time!

Guiding Principles for Achievement Partners
The following eight Guiding Principles, which fall into four thematic categories (The Foundation, Implementation, Continuity, and Implementation) help illustrate the characteristics of effective partnerships for schools and businesses/organizations that are interested in developing new partnerships or enhancing existing ones.
THE FOUNDATION: Developing the partnership's core values
Achievement Partnerships must be built on shared values and philosophies.
Partnerships should be defined by mutually beneficial goals and objectives.
IMPLEMENTATION: Translating values into action
Partnership activities should be integrated into the school and business cultures.
Partnerships should be driven by a clear management process and structure.
should define specific, measurable outcomes.
CONTINUITY: Sustaining the partnership
Partnerships should have support at the highest level within the business and school and concurrence at all levels.
Partnerships should include detailed internal and external communications plans, which clearly illustrate expectations of all parties.
EVALUATION: Determining strengths, weaknesses and future directions
Partnerships should be developed with clear definitions of success for all partners.
The Council for Corporate and School Partnerships developed the Guiding Principles using data from opinion research and outreach.

"I've been a DaVita dietitian for 3 months now and I love it!" exclaims Sarah. "The most rewarding aspect of my job is when patients see success after working so hard."
Sarah is no stranger to hard work herself. As a competitive gymnast for 18 years, she focused on achieving her optimal performance in mind, body, and spirit. Today, she focuses on helping her patients create their own optimal health. "It's so great when patients realize they are in control of most of their health and they have the power to feel their best."
As a native of Cleveland, Ohio, Sarah received her undergraduate education at Bowling Green State University and then went on to graduate school at Case Western Reserve University. It was there that she learned the skills to effectively work with patients who have trouble following the renal diet.
"I always try to be sincere and open-minded, realizing that we're all human beings who aren't perfect," says Sarah. "I like to get to know my patients' personally and their families and listen to their problems, nutrition-related or not, because everyone needs a shoulder."
And we all need a good apple-muffin recipe, too. So thanks to Sarah for sharing her "An Apple a Day" muffins.

Whenever you print something in Windows 7 you get a print icon that shows up in the system tray which you can right click on and then open up the print queue window for that printer. From that window you can open up the printer properties which will allow you to see and change (if you have manage printer rights) all the printer ports that are on the machine.
I need a way to block users from getting to the printer properties and seeing all the ports. I am looking for a way to either completely block out the printer properties dialog (maybe software restrictions on a group policy) or a way to completely disable the system tray icon from coming up when you print something (without completely disabling the system tray). This would eliminate the entry piont into the printer properties for users.
I tried unchecking the "Show informational noticfications" check boxes under print server properties, it didn't make a difference. I also tried setting those settings in the registry , but that didnt change anything. Anyone have any ideas?

We at the Honor Network have been ranking non-MRA bloggers for many years in the hope that political bloggers would feel more confident to take on all the taboos and PC pressure, and thus avoid remaining at the fringes of critiquing feminism for safety. We feel this has work resoundingly, but now comes the response as the EU& Labour government as they are trying to take down a political blogger for non-gender PC correctness. So to avoid our supporters, in the polical centered field, from getting shut down first, and then the authorities of the PC blogger police coming for, us we must stand together for one of our more casual supporters. Or have no one to stand by us when they come for us later. Here is the story from the blogger England Expects:
The problem was at the beginning of the month I had posted a piece about some gender language absurdity (please note that the staff regulations talk about his. I had included the name of the author and she had requested that I remove the name. This I did, as she pointed out that she had been phoned by a couple of journalists and was, as an official unable to talk to them.
Notwithstanding me removing her name, somebody made an official complaint about this blog to the powers that be. The Secretary General of the Parliament, Harald Rømer then wrote to my group pointing out my clear breech of the staff rules. I had, it said posted article upon England expects, a website that is ""ironique et eurosceptique". (One wonders which was the worse transgression, the scepticism or the fact that I laugh at them?)...
Yesterday I was summoned by my Secretary General and informed that a formal complaint had been made about my posting on this blog. My activities were found to be in contravention of the Staff Code of Conduct
In particular I was in breech of Article 12 and 17. That is:
"Article 12
An official shall refrain from any action or behaviour which might reflect adversely upon his position.
1. Subject to Article 15, an official wishing to engage in an outside activity, whether paid or unpaid, or to carry out any assignment outside the Communities, shall first obtain the permission of the Appointing Authority. Permission shall be refused only if the activity or assignment in question is such as to interfere with the performanceof the official's duties or is incompatible with the interests of the institution.
Article 17
1. An official shall refrain from any unauthorised disclosure of information received in the line of duty, unless that information has already been made public or is accessible to the public.
2. An official shall continue to be bound by this obligation after leaving theservice.
Bring attention to this in any way you can for this is the first strike in the silencing of MRAs.

Article 12.1.

fuckers eh?
what was that room in "big brother" that dissidents were shunted too !!!
Yahoo Answers - yes the same yahoo that forwarded the names of Chinese dissidents on Yahoo to the chinese police- has a cool system of censorship
if any member disagrees with any other member in their feminit forum well!
just issue a "violation" !!
one member asked the question "have aliens visited the earth?"
I asked him what were they !
I don't understand. How did he violate policy? On Article 17, what did he disclose? He removed the author's name. The rest sounds like it was opinion.

There's no question that this is the summer of Chris Pratt. Between the record-breaking Guardians of the Galaxyit was the top August film debut of all timeand his new abs, 2014 has been kind to him. However, success hasn't always come easy to Chris. He was actually "homeless" at age 19, when, after one semester of college, he dropped out of school and went to do odd jobs in Maui, where he lived in a van, reports E! Online.
"It's a pretty awesome place to be homeless," he recently told The Independent. "It would be different if I lived on the streets of Chicago and ate garbage from a dumpster." On Friday, he posted a picture on his Facebook page of his Scooby-Doo-emblazoned van.
Chris isn't looking for pity, though. Of his time in Hawaii, he says, "We just drank and worked minimal hours, 15-20 hours per week, just enough to cover gas, food and fishing supplies. You know, it was charming time."

Harajuku Lovers' two-tone patent brogues are perfect transition wear, fusing nautical reds and blues with the autumnal loafer look. Team these with capri pants and flared skirts for now, then try them with tights later on.

WASHINGTON -- Montgomery County Council member Hans Riemer sent out an email to his constituents to let them know he's serious about a plan to get the county to do a better job of clearing sidewalks when the snow flies.
He detailed that plan in a recent blog post.
Riemer says the county would consider clearing sidewalks the same way they clear roads. He explains that would include sidewalks along state roads or those near schools -- areas that aren't subject to the county's existing regulations requiring homeowners and businesses to clear their sidewalks after the snow stops.
But Riemer also wants to do more to get residents to comply with the regulations, suggesting a targeted public education campaign.
WTOP asked residents what they thought. Dr. Hercules Pinckney, a former president of Montgomery College, says he thinks it is a good idea.
"Yes! Make it safer for everybody!"
As an academic who knows his way around a grade book, how would he grade businesses and residents on their sidewalk-clearing skills?
"D-minus," he said, laughing.
Matthew Katzman, from Bethesda, says the idea was a good one, but says prioritizing in important.
"I think the roads should be cleared first, but then I think the sidewalks should be cleared too."
Yousef Ghanem wasn't so sure county resources should be used to clear sidewalks.
"I think that would cost too much money, that would be counter-productive," Ghanem says.
Ryan Abjomaa joked that his father made him shovel their sidewalk and that the county ought to boost the fines for those who don't do it.
"There's a Montgomery County law that says we need to shovel anyway, so if we have to do it, why aren't the people being held responsible for not doing it?"
Instead of raising penalties on those who don't shovel, Montgomery County Council member Nancy Floreen created the Golden Shovel Award.
Ghanem was curious about the award.
"I don't want to brag," he says, "but I shovel my neighbors' snow because they're elderly people and we just want to help out in our community."
Have thoughts about shoveling sidewalks? Riemer wants you to tweet about it using the hashtag #MoCoSnow.

#FriFotos: Glass
Restauracja Stylowa is anything but a "stylish restaurant," but it's the only place to grab a bit in the suburban district of Nowa Huta, just outside Krakow, Poland. I think the owners had opened the place in the 1980s, closed it, and reopened it for our group in 2008 – the interior matched something that might be found on the set of Dallas. Intricately cut mirrored panels, lavender and mint green painted walls, plastic tablecloths, plastic ferns and gaudy gold lame curtains evoked within me a time when Communist big wigs sat around and tried to figure out how they could hold their precious government together in the midst of revolution.
We are the only ones in the place. Our waiter speaks no English. We speak no Polish, but Czech is very similar, and we get by. They don't have enough food for all of us, so only some people can get pirogis, only some people can get salad. Argentinian steak is listed on the menu, but I doubt it is even available, much less actually from Argentina.
Our waiter places a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the middle of our table. "If you rub his head, he will bring you good luck." Sort of like a skinnier, more volatile version of Buddha, I suppose. I rub his head furiously while downing my glass of beer. Why not? I need all the luck I can get. In two month's time, I return to the United States, to an unknown future.
Lenin, hear me out on this.
#FriFotos: Architecture
These are architectural favorites of mine from around the world. Enjoy!
St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh. This is a beautiful house of worship, inside and out. Even if you aren't religious, a trip to St. Giles is worth taking a peek inside to see this very different side of Scottish culture.
The Eiffel Tower, Paris. Call me cliche, but this is one of my most favorite parts of Paris. I don't care if the French hate it, I love the undulating curves of the tower, and how it rises above everything else in the city. Wherever I am I can always find my way back as long as I can see the Eiffel Tower.
Sgraffito in the Czech Republic. Sgraffito is an old form of graffiti, where a building was painted solid and the shapes would be etched or "scratched" off. You can find this sort of art, dating back to the Renaissance, all across the country. It's the coolest thing.
The Fisherman's Bastion, Budapest. This is such a romantic spot, especially when covered in snow. I was there in the dead of winter and barely anyone else was around me, so it felt like the entire place was my own.
Modern vs vintage architecture, Vienna. Vienna is a super interesting place – it's a mix of Habsburg architecture and modern design, as evidence by this photo. It's like you're stepping back in time, but with modern conveniences.
The Marival Residences and Spa, Puerto Vallarta. This all-inclusive resort will trump any all-inclusives I stay at ever again. Gorgeous layout, suite-style room, and amazing views. Whoever designed this property truly knew what he/she was doing.
Graffiti accents around Reykjavik. I love the architecture of Iceland – it's so unique and they add surprising elements, like these graffiti elements. Sequins, broken glass, and spray paint lighten up what can otherwise be a gray city.
#FriFotos: Stairs
I'd never been to Harlem until Dana had decided to bunk there during an improv festival in New York City. We were volunteering there, and my shift was at 7:00am. I decided to stay the night with her because waking up and taking the train at 6:30am is a lot easier than waking up at 5:00am to catch a train from Long Island at 6:00am that would probably get me there late anyway.
Harlem is a place where people say you'll get stabbed for looking at the sidewalk too long. This is white-person speak for "multi-ethnic." At first I was hesitant to head beyond Columbia University, but then I thought to myself "Honestly, this is New York City, not a slum. There are lights and people everywhere. If I keep my wits about me, I should be fine."
And it was true – everything was fine. I found Dana's guesthouse right near the subway, and I was pleasantly surprised – it was an old, turn-of-the-century Brownstone divided into several rooms. Her own lodging had a little kitchenette and a bathroom, and luxurious furnishings, including a settee and a chandelier. I wanted to stay for longer just so that I could take advantage of the spiral staircase, whose stained-class skylight was something to look up to.
#FriFotos: Horizon
In Puerto Vallarta, the horizon goes as far as the eye can see. From ziplining in the Sierra Madre mountains, to jet skiing on the beach, there is always something further to look out at. That's also the way it felt to vacation in Mexico – always something more to discover, always somewhere new to go, someone new to talk to.
I'm not really one for passive, relaxing vacations. Trips where I'm involved in a lot of things, up from morning until midnight, with itineraries and arrangements made in advance – that's how I like to travel. Squeeze in as much as I can because who knows when I'll be back? But vacationing in Puerto Vallarta was different. It felt nice to kick back and lie on the beach with as much alcohol as I wanted. I loved swimming in our private plunge pool and admiring the Mexican landscape. I felt like I was in another world…
Our resort included excursions as well. We took advantage of the sunset cruise out of the harbor. It was a nice, intimate group and the sailing was so much fun. We drank margaritas at sunset and posed for photos. The Bay of Banderas is absolutely stunning and we felt like we were the only boat in the ocean that day. I will never forget that sunset – thank god it didn't rain!
#FriFotos: Jewels
The icebergs that drift on the shores of Iceland's black beaches look like diamonds shimmering in the sun. They float downstream into the ocean from the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on Iceland's southeastern coast. You'll find large chunks and small pebble-sized bits that will melt at the touch of your hand.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro
By Laura Burstein
On Sale: Fall 2013
Expected Pricing: $25,000 to $55,000
Refreshed styling on the 2014 Camaro is the most significant since the fifth-generation car launched for the 2009 model year. Proportions have been tweaked to create a wider, lower appearance, with a narrower upper grille and a larger lower grille.
On the Camaro SS, a functional hood vent pulls more air into the engine and aids aerodynamics. In back, there's a redesigned rear diffuser, and the Camaro's previously squarish tail lights (which appeared in almost identical form on the all-new Corvette) are gone, squished and stretched into wide, short rectangles.
The Camaro SS is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 good for 426 horsepower. Details on options are scarce, but we surmise most will carry over from the 2013 model, like the 1LE handling package, which includes race-ready suspension, tires and other hardware upgrades.
Perhaps the biggest news is the return of the Z/28. Introduced in 1967, the first Z/28 was launched as an SCCA racecar. The upcoming 2014 Z/28 is a street-legal track star that's faster and 300 pounds lighter than the current Camaro ZL1. It uses the small block, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 that's found in the Corvette C6. Official specs haven't been confirmed, but Chevrolet boasts the Z/28 will crank out at least 500 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The 2014 Camaro Z/28 will be mated only to a 6-speed manual transmission.
The standard 19-inch wheels are lighter and offer better performance than the 20s found on the Camaro SS and ZL1 models. Tires are huge 305/30ZR19 Pirelli PZero Trofero Rs. Stopping is courtesy of big Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.
A bevy of aerodynamic bits help to make the Z/28 as slippery and hunkered down as possible. They include a giant front splitter, side fender flares, extended rocker panels, an underbody panel and a rear spoiler.
Inside, a flat-bottomed steering wheel comes standard, as does manually adjustable Recaro sport seats that use five-point racing harnesses in lieu of standard seat belts. Air conditioning is optional, allowing true enthusiasts to save as much weight as possible.
The Camaro Z/28 will go head-to-head with the Ford Mustang Boss 302, which in its current incarnation makes 444 hp and 380 lb.-ft. of torque via a 5.0-liter V8.
Other variants expected to join the Camaro lineup include a new base coupe that will be powered by a V6 engine, as well as a new convertible.
The ZL1 will remain the most powerful of the bunch, and if Chevy's recent updates are any indication, the next version will most likely be lighter and even more powerful than the current model's 580 hp.
Pricing hasn't been announced yet for the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro lineup, but we guess most models will see a slight increase over 2013 prices, starting at around $25,000 for the base. The new Z/28 will most likely stay on par with Ford Boss 302, at around $42,000. The line-topping ZL1 will continue to be the most expensive model, which currently starts at $54,350. All 2014 Chevrolet Camaro models are slated to hit dealerships later this year.

LOS ANGELES — The proposed California high-speed rail project that would link Northern and Southern California was recently dubbed the "project of the century" because, experts said, it would cross two mountain ranges and a half-dozen earthquake faults, KCRA.com reported. The first phase of the project is expected to run more than 500 miles between San Francisco and Los Angeles. California hasn't considered a north-south rail link of this scope since the 1870s, when it bored through the Tehachapi Mountains to create the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Intel CEO Otellini promises $699 ultrabooks by fall
Despite relatively slow initial sales of the thin and light laptops that his company is making such a huge bet on, Intel headman Paul Otellini remains bullish on ultrabooks, and is confident that $699 versions of the svelte "reinvented PCs" will hit store shelves this fall. "Ultrabooks continue to build momentum, and achieved …
Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
Intel is flogging ultrabooks because they use their high end Ivy Bridge processors. I, like almost everyone else, do not need any more CPU power. CPU is no where near the bottleneck. It is a rarity to see it jump over 10% for any reason. Slow spinning disk is the bottleneck. If they made skinny laptops with SSD but without the high end, unnecessary CPUs, then we would be talking (although I guess they have and call them tablets).
I know there are some people who will say, "but I edit 10,000 videos a day and am running financial models for the Fed on my laptop. I store on the range of 3 - 4 TBs on my laptop full of saved posts about how I need to have 3 - 4 TBs of storage on my laptop. I need the high end specs!" My answer is: use a server on the internet/company network. Servers are used for heavy processing and storing data. Client devices are there to show you what the server processed.
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
While intel CPUs are more expensive than AMD, the real cost is in a decent screen and battery which you won't get at $400.
The problem has been that we weren't getting it at $900-1100 either unless you got a mac, and even then...
I don't know about editing video, but I found I frequently maxed out my CPU not by stuff that I wanted to do, but with scan-on-access AV operations. Corporate ultrabooks running windows and AV might actually have performance issues, especially if you have file preview options that read the data.
I'm surprised that we haven't seen some file multi-data-stream innovation where a scanned file on a server is tagged with a corporate cert to say that it was scanned recently and clients with the same AV don't need to check it again.
On a slightly related note, there might be some room for innovation from the floss chaps here, where editing the metadata doesn't alter the file. The same idea could be used to allow people to change mp3 tags without creating a "new" file. I'm really tired of needing databases to store podcast data, for example. Couldn't we generalise something like an mp4 container and have a file system which can see the different streams, but when you copy the main "data" part of the file it copies the meta data too? Perhaps the problem is that it becomes a db in itself with all the related complexity and lack of robustness.
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
It doesn't make sense market-wise to push SSD in low-end laptops. The cost premium is still too great and too many of the shoppers in that price range don't appreciate the difference.
But it's pretty simple to just image copy the hard drive to an SSD, install the SSD, and use the hard drive in an external enclosure. On a laptop with USB 3.0 you'll get pretty good performance and lots of storage from the combination.
The big change will be when mSATA becomes a standard element in inexpensive laptops to allow for the OS to live on a small SSD while everything else resides on a platter drive. It will give a big performance boost for a large portion of usage without giving up storage capacity and minimizing added cost. Alternatively, the mSATA volume might be used solely as a cache for acceleration, ala Intel's SRT.
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
You can buy a $300 laptop and put a $100 ssd in it. Is that close enough?
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
Amen to this. Utterly ludicrous to pair a $300 CPU with a shit 1366x768 TN panel they're getting for <$50...
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
<< ..the real cost is in a decent screen and battery which you won't get at $400>>
The new iPad has very a high resolution screen that retails for 399. That Intel don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it can't be done. The challenge for Intel is that they don't own a client operating system so they face an additional cost there while Microsoft and Apple are in a position to give theirs away.
I agree with the AC. The challenge is not CPU but disk and screen - neither technology which Intel owns and so costs them more to source. I'd like a thin laptop with a retina display. I'd buy an iPad but it does not offer mouse support. You know, that legacy crap that people in the real world have to deal with. The new Macbook is just way to expensive.
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
I will even correct myself about the SSD in a $400 laptop. Actually, I don't need the SSD either as most of the stuff I store goes to some server. I can wait 2 seconds for a Word file or whatever to come off of SATA. Save your money on client side PCs and buy a better internet connection. Internet connection is the only thing that makes a big performance difference. Applications running on the PC, as opposed to a server, are dead or soon will be.
Re: Can I just buy a $400 laptop with a SSD in it?
I can buy a 128GB SSD for $90 retail, versus $60 for the typical 320GB notebook hard drive.
128GB is big enough for my netbook/notebook/laptop needs, and a $30-$50 premium would be OK by me too. But I get to choose from dozens of me-too basic laptops in the $300-$400 range, and nobody is offering a basic model with 120GB SSD instead of a 320GB HD.
(I'm more interested in SSD for the robustness and improved power efficiency than the speed boost - that's just icing).
Now none of the ten people who want an ultra book will buy one until the fall
The real kicker for Ivy Bridge is not the horsepower...
... it's the power!
It may be correct to assert that many existing platforms don't use the full amount of CPU that they have, but the key issue with Ivy Bridge is that they can do fun things with the power consumption, which translates directly to longer run times for a given battery.
Re: The real kicker for Ivy Bridge is not the horsepower...
Ivy Bridge still sucks way more power than an ARM chip. Intel is trying to figure out a way to continue to sell higher and higher performance PC chips, which no one needs. They should focus on selling Xeon chips on the server side while the clients run ARM chips that have enough power to open a web browser and connect to the internet, because that is all the client side needs to do.
price differential
All ultrabooks have to have some sort of flash, either a full blown SSD or a flash cache. Manufacturers are milking the idea of a price differential.
750GB 7200rpm drive will cost me £75
128GB SSD will cost me £90
256GB SSD will cost me £150
With the 750GB drive the manufacturer has to also include a small amount of flash to act as a cache. This means that a 128GB drive costs about the same and the 256GB drive is only £60 more. SSDs aren't a high end option any more they are simply a choice between speed and storage space.
The Sony Vaio Z is a prime example of this, if you want 8GB of RAM you have to get the 256GB SSD (I'm guessing Sony's Windows install is so bloated that the extra page file used for 8GB RAM consumes all the remaining space on a 128GB drive). The 256GB drive is an extra £400 on top of the 128GB.
"achieved our volume goals for the first half"
They set their sights low then don't they.
"Intel CEO Otellini promises $699 ultrabooks by fall"
If true and they are decently specced (yes I am, amongst other things, looking at those screen resolutions - if we are still talking no genuine high res they can go screw) then Intel's hopes for a mass-market in this form factor may be fulfilled. I remain to be convinced, especially since I am still not sanguine as to whether or not Intel has finally got the memo about what they can rationally expect to be able to charge for their cpus.
that'll be the 2012 MacBook Air then....
"What we're seeing is that in a time of tight consumer budgets, people buy quality," he said, "and they tend to buy the high end of the line – or reasonably high end of our product lines. You want something to last a few years, and that tends to give them a bit more assurance."
(see AnandTech review for further details)
There is a way Intel could sell their expensive CPU's
The day my laptop arrived, i replaced the hard disk with a proper 72000rpm fluid dynamic bearing disk. Some kind person sat on my LCD, so i replaced the LCD. I have worn out the keyboard a couple of times, so I replaced that. When SSD's reached a reasonable price, I upgraded to that. The power cable wore out, and I replaced it. The track pad and the (rarely used) battery are still fine, but I can get replacements for those. The archaic CPU needs a big noisy fan, and I can replace... the entire laptop.
The only reason I would replace my entire laptop is if there is a standard for motherboards so I can upgrade the CPU/chipset just as easily as the disk, LCD, battery and so on. That is how Intel can sell more CPU's. The only interest I have in $699 ultrabooks in autumn is the possibility of $299 ultrabooks in winter.
convertibles – machines with flippable displays
Excellent, I always thought that form factor needed more love. Saw one of HP's early models back in 2005 and was quite fascinated. The software support to make them worthwhile just wasn't there at the time though - now one could rig it to use Windows 7 in lappy mode and use Bluestacks android emulator for lovely goodies when the screen is flipped.
Re: convertibles – machines with flippable displays
The problem with those reverse screens is they have never really sold in numbers even when compared to the anaemic Windows tablet sales, so you get a higher price due to the small production run. Then the twisting screen just adds more to the price and of course the base adds weight so it's not a good tablet. Really the worst of all worlds except for some niche markets.
At $699 retail it's hard to see where the money is. Well Intel and MS will make money, the component suppliers of course, but can anyone else? Id say not know, in a couple of years maybe but there will always be the problem that you can get a better tablet or conventional laptop. Hell just get a tablet and throw in a blue-tooth keyboard and/or a docking station.
The only really high end laptop I have ever had was nothing but trouble. (HP 8710w / fairly decent core2 duo / quadro 3600M / 8GB ram / 17" Matte 1920x1200)
Probably wasted twice as much on keyboards and a new blueray drive than I would have buying a year or two old top qualiity thinkpad from tieroneonline.
Won't apple just move the price down
just enough so the Intel offerings will no longer look attractive?
Copyright Applause
I actually think this good, and it's nice to see the hardware manufacturers pushing rather than msft.
What we have here is a copyrighted design from Intel. If they can push the Utrabook brand some more it will simply make normal winPCs look clunky and fat. At the same time Intel will no doubt licence the Ultrabook name to the makers meaning that both sides should benefit in moving away from that race to the bottom. Agreed the price has been too high, but even if it's 1-200 more than a std laptop that would be a huge increase in margin.
All they need now is a different OS to further differentiate from widose and closer to Mac
I can think of a couple of nice distros for that...
Copyrighted Design?
Try "set of minimum specs and a trademark"
What the hell is an ultrabook? Does anyone really know? The name has been out there for what, over a year now? Ask the average person on the street, and the best answer you might get would be 'some kind of skinny notebook computer.' The rest of the people will give you a blank look. Call these things something else now, because the name 'ultrabook' has failed.
Re: Ultrabook?
I'm not sure if it has failed, mind you I'm not sure any have been released yet. I think we will see if it has any legs come Q4. Assuming those 100+ models don't turn out to be vapour-ware.
Otellini promises... and no one cares!
For $700 you can buy a quality laptop instead of a POS over hyped Ultrabrick.
Microsoft Surface
Microsoft said that their Surface devices will be priced in line with comparable devices - will we see an Intel Powered Surface for $699?
