Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp.,
Katsuhiko Ota,
Jo Isenberg
One year after a Japanese-style megamerger created the worlds second-largest steelmaker, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. (NSSMC) is on track to squeeze every ounce of competitive advantage out of the efficiencies that come with supersizing.
A heavyweight by world standards, NSSMC knows exactly where it wants to go (a minimum targeted return on sales of about 5 percent with an eye on eventually achieving 10 percent), how its going to get there (by banking on technological superiority to build an organization with world-leading competitive strengths) and when it will arrive (2015 at the latest).
A year into that trek, all systems are go. In early May, Katsuhiko Ota, representative director and executive vice president, told investors that by the end of its fiscal year ended March 31 the newly merged company had overachieved its cost-reduction target by threefold, reeling in savings of 32 billion yen ($331.4 million). The company also had drafted and put into motion a carefully calculated action plan--one that identifies which production facilities across Japan will stay and which will go.
NSSMC is chasing an ambitious goal on the cost-reduction front, targeting synergies of 200 billion yen ($2.07 billion) or more annually in about three years. Some 120 billion yen will come through consolidating technology (using low-grade raw materials, increasing labor productivity and promoting high efficiency in processes, for starters) and establishing an optimal production network by fielding an all-star lineup of equipment, base loading and coordinating top-performing units across NSSMCs expanded family of facilities, as well as select shutdowns and avoiding redundant investments.
Japans largest steelmaker said it expects to make strategic investments for growth of about 100 billion yen ($1.04 billion) annually and divest assets amounting to about 300 billion yen ($3.11 billion) by the second half of fiscal 2015.
In the meantime, NSSMC is slicing and dicing operations in step with a belt-tightening schedule that began in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and stretches through the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Undertaken to optimize fixed costs and realize high productivity/low-cost operations, the rationalization drive calls for the shutdown of the No. 3 blast furnace at Kimitsu, Japan, at the end of fiscal 2015, as well as discontinuing a continuous caster and basic oxygen furnace there. As a result, Kimitsu will shift to a two-blast-furnace operation, as will Wakayama, where blow-in of the new No. 2 blast furnace is being postponed.
Downstream, post-merger plans call for NSSMC to reduce the number of cold strip mills it operates to 15 from 17 prior to the merger, cut its corps of continuous galvanizing lines to 13 from 18 and slice the number of electrogalvanizing lines to four from seven by the first quarter of 2015. NSSMC also plans to shutter a butt-welded pipe line at Kimitsu by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Although the success NSSMC has notched to date is self-made, there is little question the newly merged steelmaking giant--and the domestic markets its serves--have been energized by Abenomics, the aggressive, pro-growth policies introduced by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. In January, three months after Japans first- and third-largest steel producers (Nippon Steel Corp. and Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd., respectively) merged to form NSSMC, the Japanese government unveiled a $104-billion economic stimulus package, with much of the planned outlay targeted at infrastructure projects.
While Japans mills welcomed the move, they cautioned that it would take time before the countrys steel sector would benefit in real terms from the measure. In retrospect, they might have been overly cautious.
The latest quarterly Tankan report, a survey of Japanese business sentiment by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) suggests that Abenomics is sparking the Japanese economy. The index for large manufacturers climbed to 12 in September from a reading of 4 in June. A reading above zero indicates positive sentiment.
With regard to the outlook, Japans economy is expected to continue a moderate recovery, the BoJ said in its Monthly Report of Recent Economic and Financial Developments issued Oct. 7. The Bank pointed out that exports and business fixed investment have been picking up, corporate profits have improved, public investment has continued to climb and private consumption has remained resilient. Reflecting these developments in demand both at home and abroad, industrial production is increasing moderately, the Bank said. Business sentiment has continued to improve.
In another measure of the rub-off effect of the currency depreciation component of Abes resuscitation plan, Peter Marcus, managing partner of Englewood Cliffs, N.J.-based World Steel Dynamics Inc. (WSD), said in a presentation at the Steel Success Strategies XXVIII conference in June that a softer yen would help enhance the Japanese steel industrys position on WSDs cost curve for steel sheet producers.
In contrast to mills in Brazil, India and Russia, the Japanese mills are in the midst of a significant improvement in cost position, given lower raw material prices and a weaker Japanese yen, Marcus said. If steelmakers raw material prices fall to the levels WSD forecasts, the Japanese mills will be competitive with the Russians in many markets because their plants are located on deepwater ports.
Based on a WSD assessment, NSSMC has a lot going for it with or without a pending dip in iron ore and metallurgical coal costs. The latest iteration of the consultancys steelmaker rankings, issued in June, lists 34 companies that it considers positioned to be winning performers in the years ahead.
NSSMC ranks No. 7, pulling in a weighted average score of 7.15, trailing South Koreas Posco Ltd. (7.73), Russias OAO Severstal (7.46), Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor Corp. (7.28), Russias Novolipetsk Steel (7.21), Japans JSW Steel Ltd. (7.2) and Brazils Gerdau SA (7.16).
The purpose of the steelmaker rankings is to better understand the companies attributes rather than to imply that one company is better or more worthy than another, WSD said in one of several footnotes accompanying the list, which is compiled on an as-needed basis. The rankings reward pro-active management, size and integration from raw materials to downstream businesses, noting that the system is subjective and duplicative.
NSSMC and fellow Japanese steelmaker JFE Steel Corp. both scored a perfect 10 in six different categories: location close to customers; value-added product mix; conversion costs/yields; skilled and productive workers; downstream businesses; and country risk factor.
Theres little question that NSSMC is banking on these attributes in combination with an over-arching commitment to pushing the productivity envelope through innovative production processes and developing high-performing, differentiated products in key growth areas to propel and keep it ahead of the global steelmaking pack. Target markets include automotive, resource and energy, and overseas infrastructure-related markets (rail transportation).
To translate that formula into fact, NSSMC will call on the talents of what it describes as the worlds largest team of 800 skilled researchers, the synergies that come with a megamerger, and the collective dedication and pride of a work force seasoned by two decades of lean economic times at home and intense competitive pressures from mills in neighboring South Korea and China.
People on the shop floor are highly motivated, Shinnosuke Arita, senior manager of personnel at NSSMCs Yawata Works, told AMM during a recent plant visit. Whats behind that motivation is difficult to explain. One factor is a strong tradition. We started producing steel at Yawata 112 years ago. ... Everybody takes huge pride in being part of the production. The pride is passed down.
Yawata, one of 16 individual plants NSSMC counts across Japan, specializes in producing a variety of high-performance, high-value-added products--from bar steel and steel pipe and tube to thin sheet--in small lots. The plant has been taking on an increasingly important role as a base for supplying medium-high-grade steel to automobile factories in Japans Kyushu district and as a center for exporting steel to the Asian market.
Each steel works has a role to play, Arita said. At Yawata, that role is to supply a range of products in small lots. The Oita Works, which--like Yawata--is located on Kyushu Island, plays a different role. It produces large quantities of hot-rolled sheet and heavy plate for a wide range of applications from automotive to shipbuilding, construction and industrial equipment.
Regardless of the distinct role of each NSSMC steel works, the collective agenda is set and has been embraced by employees throughout the newly merged company, from its Tokyo headquarters to the mill floor.
There are two challenges. The first is to improve our competitiveness in terms of cost. There are emerging competitors in China, South Korea and India. To beat them, we must be best in cost competitiveness, Arita said. Of course, the Japanese domestic market is important. But we have to look at major markets overseas and we have to win at cost competitiveness in those overseas markets.
The second challenge, Arita said, is to excel at developing new products. When we can develop a new product faster and earlier than our competitors--a product that our customers want--that also improves our competitiveness, he said.
Posco has very good competitiveness in terms of cost and production efficiency, Arita acknowledged. They are now able to produce higher-quality product as well. So I look at Posco as the toughest competitor.
Which of the two companies is the more competitive? Measuring is difficult, Arita said. I think our customers decide. Customers evaluate. For example, do customers trust us and keep buying our product or not? And who does a customer go to first for a consultation when they need a new product to be developed? In the end, the customers decide.

Line a large baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Whisk flour and 1 tsp. salt in a wide shallow bowl. Lightly whisk eggs and cream in another wide shallow bowl until the yolks and whites are just streaky. Mix breadcrumbs and 2 tsp. salt in a third wide shallow bowl. Pound veal slices between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8"–1/16" thickness, being careful not to tear. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Prop a dry-fry thermometer in a large deep skillet; pour in oil so that bulb is submerged. Heat oil over medium heat to 350°. Add butter to skillet and adjust heat to maintain 350°.
Dredge 2 veal slices in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip in egg. Turn to coat; shake off excess. Dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere; shake off excess. Transfer slices to skillet. Using a large spoon, carefully baste the top of the veal with the hot oil. Cook until breading puffs and starts to brown, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until browned, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining veal slices.
Divide veal among plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley or lettuce.

I was watching In Touch this morning, and Charles Stanley was talking about how we tend to presuem that we know the scriptures associated with Christmas so well tha we tend to skim over them. He wnet on to say that whenever we read the Word of God we should do so with a heart ready to receive instruction in how to apply it to our own lives. So as he was reading from Luke 2, the part that hit me was actually the first verse - that "In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. "
Caesar was by no means a man after God's own heart. But "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will" (Prov.21:1) Was the tax unrighteous? Probably. But it necessitated that Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem - where Jesus had to be born in order for scripture to be fulfilled.
It got me thinking of the bureacracy and red tape and legal hoops Levi and I have to jump through before we can start the process of his coming here. Is it a royal pain in the behind? You bet! But God has His own time-table. Had the decree for taxation gone forth earlier, Joseph and Marywould have done what they had to and gone back to Nazareth. Had it gone forth later, again prophecy would not be fulfilled. While God is a loving, wonderful Father, He also has His divine agenda, and no amount of holding our breath and throwing a fit will change that.
So, we wait. And not just twiddling our thumbs. For myself, I go deeper into the Lord so when the time is right, I will be to Levi an even better wife.
In the face of the horrifying events in Newton, Connecticutt, one might wonder where is God in all this. But I know He is ever present and ever mindful. And while the date we celebrate Christ's birth may be mixed up with all kinds of pagan traditions, still, the Son of God DID come - God made flesh tabernacled among us in human form. Even though "the Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time," (Gen 6:5) after that first great Judgement, He had mercy on us and sent Jesus. He MADE the way for love and peace and good will among mankind. Yes, there are horrible things that happen all over the world, because the human heart continues to be wicked...but good things also happen, amazingly touchingly good things because He has redeemed some of those hearts, CONVERTED them, so that when such atrocities happen, there is still some goodness to reach out to those who suffer from the world's fallen state.
My first child was stillborn on Christmas Eve. The loss of a child at any age, in any manner, can be so devastating. BUT GOD...in His grace carried me through the tragedy so I do not have bitterness, so I can still enjoy this time of year, so I can still be full of HIS love, joy, and peace. And after all...He knows how it is to lose a beloved child - cruelly, unjustly.
If He got me through it, I know His grace is sufficient for those who are reeling from this recent tragedy, and keep them in prayer.
" For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God�s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."(2 Cor 4:6,7)
Wednesday night I was at my bilingual church's Bible study, and as we waited for things to start, I was showing a Guatemalan sister the portfolio of drawings I had done during worship. She was making all kinds of exclamations over them. But I really can't make any boast - I didn't do anything to strive for this talent bred in my genetic make-up. Granted, it was encouraged by my parents who always had all kinds of artsy stuff around for my sisters and me to experiment - and so it was developed. So it is only fitting that I put it to use to honor the One Who made me and gave it to me.
This body, too, belongs to Him. It's only fitting that I should do what I can to develop that which He has already given me so that He can be glorified through me.
And the cartilage at the joint is pretty far gone. I was given a prescription for a stronger NSAID, which I started today (will watch for adverse effects). And MondayI'll go in for a "guided injection" - make sure the stuff arrives at the joint! This should buy me some pain-decreased time until I can see about surgery when school ends in June, giving me the summer vacation to recuperate. Unless, of course, the Lord intervenes with a different form of miracle - creative as opposed to medical (because really, technological advances these days are amazing!)
I learned that the metal involved WILL set off the airport scanners. I'll just show em my scars and the doctor's note next time I travel.
So I'm thinking 2013, hip - maybe 2014 will be knees, unless that can be postponed. If I AM to have surgery, it'll have to be while I'm still working and have the coverage! If Levi makes it to the states next year, then perhaps an extra year without travel will be better for him to be established in a job before we take off together for Peru.
I think about these things, but ultimately take each day as it comes, rejoicing and being glad in it. After all, "Many are the plans in a person�s heart, but it is the Lord�s purpose that prevails." (Prov. 19:21)
I had gotten down to my lowest since Sparking back in 2008. But early in 2009 I hurt my back a bit and then it traveled to my neck from poor posture - I went for physical therapy, which helped me considerably. But for a long while I couldn't do my usual exercise; then our stationary bike died. So of course the pounds crept back up. But as arthritis began to attack my knees and hip more, I wanted all the more to get rid of those pounds. I got another bike when I had the money, and it's been a friend to me. Lately I've also resumed some strength exercises, and changing things up a bit, and sparking more, tracking more. And today I was under 210 for the first time in a LONG time! I thank the Lord for Spark, and also for my DD who's in on this with me (RaptorMelon), who is seeking to prepare healthier meals (since she is the chief cook!) I also decided to measure myself starting today. Let's see how THAT goes.

After tweeting about his involvement in the Scream and Shout Remix, Waka Flocka Flame's verse, along with Lil Wayne and Diddy, has now leaked online. The original line up, including Will.i.Am and Britney Spears, still appear on the revamped release of the track, though this time the song features a much darker feel to it. The track was produced by Hit Boy, who is rumoured to be one of the main producers on Britney's upcoming album.
PerezHilton.com is reporting that the remix of Scream and Shout will soon be heard on TV screens across North America with plans to feature the track on a commercial for Beats By Dre Headphones to air during next month's Super Bowl. Britney and Destiny's Child in one Super Bowl? Fine. I'll watch the dang football game.

Oh dear, I do sympathise! I might be wrong - and Phil Neal, who regularly monitors this website will no doubt correct me if I am - but I don't think you will be able to get any of this data, except assessments, into SIMS yourself.
If you have an Access database of Assessment grades/marks/etc, you should export the tables as Excel CSV, or better still if you can, XML files. In SIMS Assessment, set up all the appropriate aspects you need to 'receive' these results, together with Result Sets if you want to make it easier to filter the results later (things like 'Y10 Autumn' for example). Then, using the route Routines | Data In | Assessment | Import from Spreadsheet, follow the wizard by right-clicking to 're-label' the columns with how you want each to import. Difficult to describe in a few words, but a surprisingly user-friendly wizard once you've made a couple of false starts! All the assessments from the spreadsheet will be imported into the pupils' records within a few seconds - magic!
As to the rest of the data, I'm pretty sure Capita would import it, but it won't come cheap!!!

Charlie Spear was born in 1948 in the Midwest. The era of Modern Art was in full swing with the Sixties generating an artistic smorgasbord of art styles and new media. Much of his early career was spent learning about art through teaching art. His imagery grew out of early television and graphic media. Spear paints both as a landscape painter and an abstractionist which characterizes his ecclectic tendencies. Philip Guston has had an influence on his art of recent. Exploring the art media's physical qualities is an important element in his style coupled with an atavistic love of an expressionistic drawing style. The result is a charged surface of automatic line energy and raw cartoon color expressionism. His work is a reflection of...

What the GOP doesn't knowSeptember 10,2013On Saturday, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming delivered the weekly Republican address. He ignored Syria, presumably because his party is deeply conflicted on the issue. (For the record, so am I.) Instead, he demanded repeal of the Affordable Care Act. "The health care law," he declared, "has proven to be unpopular, unworkable and unaffordable," and he predicted "sticker shock" in the months ahead.
So, another week, another denunciation of Obamacare. Who cares? But Barrasso's remarks were actually interesting, although not in the way he intended. You see, all the recent news on health costs has been good. So Barrasso is predicting sticker shock precisely when serious fears of such a shock are fading fast.
Why would he do that?
Well, one likely answer is that he hasn't heard any of the good news. Think about it: Who would tell him?
My guess, in other words, was that Barrasso was inadvertently illustrating the widening "wonk gap" — the GOP's near-complete lack of expertise on anything substantive. Health care is the most prominent example, but the dumbing down extends across the spectrum, from budget issues to national security to poll analysis. Remember, Mitt Romney and much of his party went into Election Day expecting victory.
About health reform: Barrasso was wrong about everything, even the "unpopular" bit, as I'll explain in a minute. Mainly, however, he was completely missing the story on affordability.
For the truth is that the good news on costs just keeps coming in. There has been a striking slowdown in overall health costs since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, with many experts giving the law at least partial credit. And we now have a good idea what insurance premiums will be once the law goes fully into effect; a comprehensive survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that on average premiums will be significantly lower than those predicted by the Congressional Budget Office when the law was passed.
But do Republican politicians know any of this? Not if they're listening to conservative "experts," who have been offering a steady stream of misinformation. All those claims about sticker , for example, come from obviously misleading comparisons. For example, supposed experts compare average insurance rates under the new system, which will cover everyone, with the rates currently paid by a handful of young, healthy people for bare-bones insurance. And they conveniently ignore the subsidies many Americans will receive.
At the same time, in an echo of the Romney camp's polling fantasies, other conservative "experts" are creating false impressions about public opinion. Just after Kaiser released a poll showing a strong majority — 57 percent — opposed to the idea of defunding health reform, the Heritage Foundation put out a poster claiming that 57 percent of Americans want reform defunded. Did the experts at Heritage simply read the numbers upside down? No, they claimed, they were referring to some other poll. Whatever really happened, the practical effect was to delude the right-wing faithful.
And the point is that episodes like this have become the rule, not the exception, on the right. How many Republicans know, for example, that government employment has declined, not risen, under President Barack Obama? Certainly Sen. Rand Paul was incredulous when I pointed this out to him on TV last fall. On the contrary, he insisted, "the size of growth of government is enormous under President Obama" — which was completely untrue but was presumably what his sources had told him, knowing that it was what he wanted to hear.
For that, surely, is what the wonk gap is all about. Political conservatism and serious policy analysis can coexist, and there was a time when they did. Back in the 1980s, after all, health experts at Heritage made a good-faith effort to devise a plan for universal health coverage — and what they came up with was the system now known as Obamacare.
But that was then. Modern conservatism has become a sort of cult, very much given to conspiracy theorizing when confronted with inconvenient facts. Liberal policies were supposed to cause hyperinflation, so low measured inflation must reflect statistical fraud; the threat of climate change implies the need for public action, so global warming must be a gigantic scientific hoax. Oh, and Mitt Romney would have won if only he had been a real conservative.
It's all kind of funny, in a way. Unfortunately, however, this runaway cult controls the House, which gives it immense destructive power — the power, for example, to wreak havoc on the economy by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. And it's disturbing to realize that this power rests in the hands of men who, thanks to the wonk gap, quite literally have no idea what they're doing.

The Internet is awash with whispers and hearsay about a new Sonic game called Sonic Unleashed.
Reports say it will be a mix of 2.5D platforming with the kind of running seen in Sonic and the Secret Rings. The target platforms are unknown, but are likely to include Wii.
There's also speculation about a storyline where Sonic becomes afflicted with a curse, turning him into a werewolf at certain points in the game. A new character may make an appearance too, a brown hedgehog. Some, or all of this could be false.
A video, which was supposedly leaked can be seen here:
CAUTION: Do not watch this video if you are offended by really annoying music.
*UPDATE* - Sega of America seem to be taking most of these videos down from YouTube, so it's likely this stuff is genuine.

Wii Freak said:
I can't get the music out of my head.
Rags said:
Wii is confirmed. As well as the 360.
Bibilo said:
So much cowbell.
wiiboy101 said:
The whole Wii-can't do those graphics talk is total nonsense as they're clearly sonic secret rings looking, just beefed up. It could very well be a secret rings 2 type game, but this time multi-platform.
Vive la Ouii said:
The best part of the game will certainly be the music if we can believe this movie.
nuked burrito said:
This does not look fun at all. Just a really fast side scroll.
Nova said:
Looks too good to be fake. But the music does kind of sound like it was made on garageband.
ToTaLgAmEr said:
This doesn't even look like it's possible to lose, it's all one way.
Rags said:
First off, the game has been confirmed. This is not fake. Secondly Nuked Burrito, that's what the past Sonic games were about. I hope that none of the 3D Sonic games were your first.
Keranu said:
Hey that music is lightyears better than the music in recent Sonic games.
YoshLee said:
That music got in my head pretty easily, MAKE IT STOP (even though the music doesn't sound half bad but still). It seems like a nice 2-D game, maybe all those jerks will lay off Sonic a bit thinking all his games are becoming bad.
Tennindo said:
It should be on Wii more then any other system because Sonic's like family to Nintendo because of his Smash Bros introduction. Let's just hope Wii fans don't get betrayed by SEGA. Oh and I was thinking of a 2D/3D Sonic game just a week ago. It's like they read my mind.
Diddy Kong Lover said:
Thank you wiiboy101, I hear that all the time from Sony fanboys. I always wished Sonic would make a comeback.
BrAwL said:
If that's the music then I won't get this game. Kirby is confuddled.
Aeth said:
Okay, WereSonic is confirmed as screenshots Sega confirmed to be legit shows good-old normal blue Sonic in the light with WereSonic behind him in the shadows (just think Sonic, taller and furrier, he still has blue fur though), possibly a hint about how the transformations work? Well anyway, other information I can get is how Sonic exactly gets the ability to transform to WereSonic. Doctor Eggman (yup, he's to blame) captured Sonic while he was Super Sonic and while trying to neutralize Super Sonic it caused a Lycanthropy reaction, turning Sonic into WereSonic. However other then that no information is given about how WereSonic will be used or anything about a brown hedgehog.
luwiigi said:
In my opinion, it needs MORE cowbell Bibilo. And the game actually looks like it could be entertaining, if it doesn't actually change the camera angles so much. That'll give my dad motion sickness.
Dox said:
I kind of liked the song.
BrothaZ said:
The graphics look somewhat impressive if they are for the Wii. Let's hope for it.
jskrdude said:
The Wii can definitely do those graphics. They're not that spectacular (but they are clean and pretty). This looks like a winner. I'll keep my eyes open.
Sonic Phantom said:
Uh Keranu, the recent Sonic music is better than this annoying music. I doubt that this music is in the game. But I could be wrong though.
wiimaster said:
Wow sega. Failed again. Plus the guy that made condemned wanted to do a Wii version. Why not do that sega?
Wii Rox said:
Oh my god, EPIC WIN. I've actually been waiting for a game like this, this could actually be sonics first step back to stardom (if they don't rush it) even though the story seems a little like an "homage" to LOZTP, it's fully welcomed in my eyes.
nuked burrito said:
I've played the ones on genesis, they were fun but this one looks like it's at a much faster pace plus they need to do something different. They probably took the original and just threw a fresh coat of paint on it.
Brawler200 said:
This game looks good and moves fast, let's just hope it goes good in reviews.
B Darius said:
It looks very much like 1st level from Sonic & the Secret Rings. But who knows, this might be an April Fools Day joke. Let's just hope to god it's not.
Nintendoof said:
I really don't like Sonic games because the places you go to are too controlled. This for example.
wii r brawling said:
Not another sonic side scroller where all you do is press the analog stick FORWARD. And sometimes jump. Ugh sonic games suck.
ganondorfrules said:
Isn't the whole werewolf thing kind of copying off twilight princess?
kool-aid man said:
I wish crash bandicoot would make a comeback like this, don't you?
Wii Rox said:
I noticed SEGA taking down vids not long ago, this seems to be a very good game but it says on wikipedia there's no tails or knuckles. Back to basics I guess, this could actually be a good thing.
Crimson Fang said:
Hmm, could there be Chao raising in this one? It was a fun part of SA 1&2. And in Twilight Princess, you play as an actual wolf. If they put Amy on his back with an extendable Piko Piko Hammer, then I'd be suspicious.
Jinchuuriki88 said:
Oh my god. TP rip off.
Wii Rox said:
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* The story is apparently that eggman shattered the world to pieces, and sonic needs to use the chaos emeralds power to bring the continents together again. Tails and knuckles are not in sadly but eggman seems to finally be the main villain again (and a badass one at that). Sonic's werewolf form kicks in at night, although how he gets it in the first place is as of yet unexplained. The game will use SEGA's new "Hedgehog Engine" which they have been working on for 3 years. The game will also make use of a day and night feature, which may well coincide with sonic's new form. *gasps for air*.
Wiipaw said:
Sonic had a leash before?
hbh said:
Sonic's getting back to his roots.

Why can't Eggman be called Dr Robotnik again? It sounds better than Dr Eggman.

Hmmm..instant problem - wouldnt want to use unfiltered - even if I had one, which I don't. Most schools I know use proxies, and they certainly wouldnt want unfiltered access, I am surprised that it is not a bigger issue
I have had mine for all of an hour, and I am majorly disappointed. It is failing connection when going through a proxy, but if i turn the proxy off, it goes through fine (but unfiltered). I have been on the phone to Apple already, and its a known issue that sometimes it wont work with proxies, but not high on the list to fix as most people have a direct connection out apparently...
Not a good start to the weeks trial!

As for the argument of giving kids new and different technologies to use, I wonder how many households with kids of junior school age actually have iPad's? Far better for them to learn on 'conventional' and common place equipment in their early years, and then move onto specialist OS and equipment later in their education. It doesn't take long to become proficient in a new OS - a few weeks at most. No need to shove new technology in the kids faces at a young age, IMHO.
Just my 2p...
My nearly 6 year old daughter exclaimed last night that she wanted an ipad jsut as the advert came on.
She said that she wanted to use it for her school writing so that she could just show the teacher it on there.
Aw bless.
Indeed there is nothing wrong with those I was suprised by her comments to be honest, she loves writing and drawing.
It's a bigscreen iphone so basically you have a web browser, ipod music and video player and whatever apps you get on the store.
The OS is well hardened so lockdown isn't an issue however it is also simplistic and there seem to be allot of problems with DHCP, DNS and proxy servers when used on any network more complicated than a ADSL / Cable modem + wireless router setup. So from a technical standpoint they are on shakey ground in schools.
From an educational standpoint all they have going for them is a web browser with no storage or printing facilities so of limited use for research. Unless some educational software is approved by apple and released on the istore I don't see them having any practical use in schools. If such software existed it would also need to be bought once for every ipad + the cost of a class set of ipads makes me find it hard to believe any such app wouldn't have a much cheaper alternative.
I think netbooks or a linux or windows based Slates are a much better investment. HP and acer have interesting Slate devices coming if you are looking for something with an alternative interface which is more tactile for youngsters.
Right well, the ipad is going back, until proxy and DNS issues are fixed, we wont be buying it. No need to carry on for the rest of the week trial as it would prove futile!
If we cannot get it to connect properly on our network, even after spending 3 hours on the phone to apple tech support, and THEY say that it is not possible to do so, why should we continue. I am not connecting it to itune as we do not have an account set up yet (we will do IF we trial it again and they have fixed the bugs) Until the issues are fixed, my boss, my techs and I are all of the same opinion that it will waste time.
No proxy is the biggest issue for us, as I am sure it would be for others!
I was sent some links with regards to an Apple guy who works in the education sector.
Have a read and see what you think:
Digital Roadtrip
Also this may be of some interest. Not sure how well it works though. Never tried it. But i might give it a bash
ActivePrint Lite for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store
I've had an iPad since Monday, and i can already see a few Educational uses, but whether it would be suitable for a large scale rollout is an entirely different matter. However, I shall put down a few thoughts/ideas:
1, At present, I wouldn't want to support anymore than 5 iPads within a school. Each would need to be setup individually, and locked down accordingly (not difficult, but time consuming). In addition to this, you would need to set each of them up with a static IP address to avoid the "not releasing IP address" issue.
2, As far as I can make out, Apps are linked to the account they were bought with, not the device itself. Therefore you would only need to buy one app, which could then be synced onto multiple devices. This would bring the cost of ownership right down when you consider the cost of iWorks being spread across 1-5+ iPads. Not 100% sure on this however.
3, To share documents would be relatively easy using something like Dropbox (free and with 2gb of space). The only issue would be students deleting other students work if the iPad is shared around. However, if its on a 1 per student basis, then there are a lot of ways to get work from an iPad to a teacher which are quick an easy.
4, I've had no issue connecting to the school internet for general browsing and email. However, I have been completely unsuccessful in getting anything to stream (YouTube, Google Earth etc) onto the iPad. Whilst extremely disappointing, this is not the end of the world.
5, You could, of course, Remote desktop from the iPad onto a computer. However this is largely redundant, but could be useful. the Remote Desktop software is free.
6, there are some amazing apps out there. For those that don't see the potential, especially for Primary school kids, I would advise you to check out the Toy Story interactive book at least. Combine this with the Dictionary App, the Wikipanion App, Planets App and Virtuoso (a basic piano) and I think the potential is there for this to become a great device to use in education. It is well worth checking out the Educational Apps on the Apple Store before dismissing the iPad.
7, Adobe Ideas is turning into one of my favourite Apps. The ability to just doodle is great, plus you can import pictures to draw on top of and all can be sent directly from the app via email as a PDF.
8, In fact, there are a lot of great drawing Apps, but I haven't tested them as I don't have any talent in that area... This is a similar case with the Music apps.
9, For a cheaper (and more basic) option of Office, try DocsToGo, effective for text and spreadsheets, but you can't import pictures (yet anyway).
10, You would definately need to buy a cloth with every iPad, the screen gets covered very quickly!
In conclusion, I think you could introduce an iPad or maybe a group of them, and they would be effective as long as the teacher wanted them, and made the most of the Apps that are available now, and was aware of new Apps in the future. I wouldn't dismiss the iPad as an educational tool just yet, but I wouldn't introduce it wholesale either.
thanks simpsonj, that is so helpful. So you havent had the proxy problems nephilim had?
Sorry to be dim, but am I right in saying you can't save docs etc - unless you have something like Dropbox? Which is what exactly?
I just can't get my head around how useful they would be - I get that some of the educational apps are great, and I will have a look when I get home (Can't unblock here!!!) but as we are looking at a top end of about 10 of these, a whole class couldnt have one each so I'm not sure what they could do.
You mention the setting up and locking down - would you mind giving me a few more details of what needs to be done?
I know I sound dim but I am working blind here.
so, if I read it right, you are saying that the iPad is good as an extra resource, but it wouldnt be any good 'instead' of a computer.
It all comes down to what my boss wants and what he can afford.
Anyone else?
*thanks for the links guys but again they are ALL BLOCKED - thanks SWGfL

Celebrities' Halloween Costumes: Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus + More [PHOTOS]
We rounded up our favorite celebrities' Halloween costumes from years past and they include everything from frightening to sweet to just plain spooky!
We rounded up our favorite celebrities' Halloween costumes from years past and they include everything from frightening to sweet to just plain spooky!
The burglarizing duo who broke into Miley Cyrus' L.A. home and made off with her $135K Maserati have been sentenced to time behind bars.
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to kickin' up controversy within international governments, and this time, her butt may have gotten her into some trouble in Mexico.
Hair today, gone tomorrow. A shocking number of starlets have chopped their long locks in favor of shorter, edgier styles. See photos of the transformations here!
See Miley Cyrus, Lea Michele, Jimmy Fallon, Demi Lovato + more celebs' audition tapes before they were famous.
Check out Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and more stars rocking their natural beauty.
They may have called off their engagement last year, but Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth definitely still care about each other.
Miley Cyrus got people talking when she sent her 2014 MTV VMAs date -- Jesse Helt, a young homeless man -- to accept her Video of the Year accolade. Only days after the awards ceremony, news broke that he is a wanted man.
Miley Cyrus in undoubtedly the reigning icon of the MTV VMAs, and when she showed up to the 2014 red carpet, she looked lovely in matching leather separates.
Say what you want about Miley Cyrus -- but what she did tonight at the 2014 MTV VMAs was pretty outstanding.
Celebrities can run, but it seems they can no longer hide from the scarily omniscient presence of the paparazzi.
What happens when 'Star Wars' meets Miley Cyrus?

Bangladesh slump to defeat
14 Sep 2005
Alex Crampton
Bangladesh slumped to their 8th innings defeat in their last 10 matches against Sri Lanka today, scoring just 50 runs for the loss of their last 7 wickets.
36-3 at stumps and with defeat inevitable, Bangladesh began poorly, with Chaminda Vaas finding the edge of Habibul Bashar's bat with just 3 added, with Sangakkara pouching the simple catch.
Muralitharan, who had figures of 2-0 overnight, claimed his first wicket of the day, Tushar Imran bowled for 3. Aftab Ahmed was the controversial off-spinners next victim, caught by Thilan Samaraweera, failing to pick a doosra.
With Bangladesh in freefall, the same combination accounted for Mohammad Rafique, while veteran keeper Khaled Mashud became the only the 3rd Bangladeshi of the innings to reach double figures.
Lasith Malinga got in on the fun too, taking the 8th and 9th wickets to fall, those of Syed Rasel and Khaled Mashud. Fittingly, it was Muralitharan who wrapped up the match; Enamul Haque stumped charging down the pitch to another doosra.
Murali's figures of 6-18 show why many consider him the best in the world, despite the controversy surrounding him. Another heavy defeat for Bangladesh will no doubt bring more calls for them to lose status, but without a horrendous first-day collapse, they could well have put some pressure on Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh 188
Bashar 84
Herath 4-38, Muralitharan 3-42
Sri Lanka 370/9 dec
Dilshan 86, Samaraweera 78, Jayawardene 63
Mohammad Rafique 5-114
Bangladesh 86
Bashar 15
Muralitharan 6-18, Malinga 3-32
Sri Lanka win by an innings and 96 runs.
Man of the match: Muttiah Muralitharan
