PARENTS in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire are being advised to look out for symptoms of scarlet fever among their children, after a rapid increase in cases nationally.
Public Health England (PHE) has received increased reports of the disease and Dr Theresa Lamagni, Head of Streptococcal Infection Surveillance, says parents should be aware of the signs.
Dr Lamagni, said: "We are continuing to see increases in scarlet fever notifications across England.
"PHE urges people with symptoms of scarlet fever to consult their GP. Scarlet fever should be treated with antibiotics to reduce risk of complications."
In the past month, 868 notifications have been received in England, compared to 591 for the equivalent period last year.
Bristol has been named a hot spot and the Gloucestershire area has one of the highest rates of infection.
Councillor Dorcas Binns, Gloucestershire cabinet member for Public Health and Communities, said: "We are encouraging anyone concerned about scarlet fever to follow Public Health England's advice and see their family doctor in the first instance, who may prescribe antibiotics.
"It's important that you or your child takes the full course of antibiotics and stays at home for at least 24 hours after starting treatment to avoid spreading infection."
Around 90 per cent of scarlet fever cases occur in children under 10, and it is most common among children aged two to eight, particularly among four-year-olds. Adults can also catch the disease, but such cases are rarer.
Symptoms include:
• Sore throat, headache, fever, nausea and vomiting
• A characteristic fine red rash after 12-48 hours, on the chest and stomach, rapidly spreading to other areas. It feels like sandpaper to touch
• Fever over 38.3C or higher is common
• White coating on the tongue, which peels a few days later leaving the tongue looking red and swollen
• Swollen glands in the neck
• Feeling tired and unwell
• Flushed red face but pale around the mouth
• Peeling skin on fingertips, toes and groin, as the rash fades.
To protect yourself from getting the illness you should:
• Wash your hands often
• Not share eating utensils with an infected person
• Wash, or dispose of, handkerchiefs and tissues contaminated by an infected person
• Be aware that you can catch scarlet fever by inhaling airborne droplets.
Dr Mark Pietroni, Director of Public Health for South Gloucestershire, said: "It usually takes two to five days from infection before the first signs of symptoms appear. However, the incubation period may be as short as one day and as long as seven days.
"The average number of cases in South Gloucestershire is generally very low, however they have risen from an average of 4 cases per annum to 11 cases in 2014, which is considered as a significant increase."
If you suspect that you or your child has scarlet fever:
• See your GP as soon as possible
• Take the full course of any antibiotics prescribed by your GP
• Stay at home, away from school or work for at least 24 hours after starting treatment, to avoid spreading the infection

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Just two days after an exciting Sunshine State Conference win over Eckerd, the Saint Leo volleyball team returned to the court Friday night and defeated the visiting Barry Bucs by a 3-0 score (25-14, 25-14, 25-14). The win improved the Lions' record to 13-5 on the season and 3-2 in the SSC.
The first and second sets featured a composed Lions team, as Saint Leo took control and cruised to easy victories.
In the third set, however, the visiting Bucs forced an early lead, causing the Lions to regroup, refocus, and come from behind. Soon after, the Lions were back in control, ending the match in three quick sets.
Freshman Hope Lemon led the offensive attack in the contest, collecting 10 kills in just two sets played. Senior Jordan Sisson and junior Alexa Griffith-Hardy had a large impact in the match as well, tallying nine and eight kills, respectively.
Senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto notched 30 assists in the effort, giving her an astounding 716 assists for the season. In addition, she collected 12 digs, while junior libero Yaidimar Santiago notched ten.
As a team, the Lions attacked for an average of .330 in the win, while holding Barry to just a .021 attack percentage. Saint Leo also collected 41 kills and 52 digs..
The Lions will return to the court tomorrow afternoon when they take on the visiting Florida Tech Panthers in their sixth conference match of the season. The match is slated for 4:00 p.m.

U.S. now the world's leading oil producer
Published: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 10:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 10:57 a.m.
The United States surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's biggest oil producer this year and is projected to remain the top producer because domestic output is forecast to increase and production growth outside the U.S. has been lower than anticipated, according to a report from the Bank of America Corp.
Regular Unleaded Gasoline
Current: $3.655
Week Ago: $3.676
Month Ago: $3.656
Year Ago: $3.474
Current: $3.592
Week Ago: $3.620
Month Ago: $3.582
Year Ago: $3.425
Current: $3.558
Week Ago: $3.593
Month Ago: $3.562
Year Ago: $3.335
"The shale boom in Texas and North Dakota continues to spur domestic production growth," Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group, said on Monday.
"Increasing domestic production puts a cap on oil prices, which keeps gas prices affordable,'' he said. "Fortunately, the price of oil is trending down as fears of a supply disruption in Iraq are dissipating and news that Libya will soon resume shipping oil at full capacity."
The price for a barrel of oil slipped $1.68 last week, closing at $104.06 on the NYMEX on Friday. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is 2 cents cheaper than last week, with the average price in Florida down 3 cents and 4 cents cheaper in Georgia compared to last week.
"Lower oil prices means gasoline should continue drifting down this week," Jenkins said. "However, prices typically become volatile in the mid to late summer months as we move into hurricane season.''
In Gainesville, the average price of a gallon of regular on Monday was $3.67, down $3.69 from last week, according to the website GasBuddy.com. In Ocala, the price was $3.60, down 3 cents from last week.

Print The history of Parris Manufacturing Company is a very interesting one. At the start of World War II, when draftees by the thousands were being sent to the Army and Navy training camps, there were no rifles available for training purposes. Parris Manufacturing Company, already expert in woodworking, was asked by the Department of Defense to make dummy training rifles for new recruits to use until real rifles could be made available. More than 2 million of these training rifles were made for the Army and Navy and the Company earned the coveted Army-Navy "E" Award for its contribution to the war effort. After the war was over, the company switched its production lines over to manufacturing toy rifles and pistols. These toy guns were made with the same skill and care that the company had used in making the Army and Navy training rifles. Parris Manufacturing Company officials did not want to manufacture only military toy guns, so they quickly added frontier and cowboy style rifles, pistols and pistol holster sets. Every replica in the company's line is based on a rifle, musket or pistol that played an important part in our country's history.

Former congressman Steve LaTourette takes swings at the D.C. crowdComments Email Print
The Republican hasn't been on the firing line during the recent shutdown of the federal government, but the City Club gave him a chance to reflect on the recent actions of his former colleagues, especially those he used to caucus with, along with his friend Speaker John Boehner.
Mr. LaTourette, who before he retired from Congress dubbed Tea Party members as "chuckleheads," started the panel discussion with David Cohen of University of Akron and National Public Radio correspondent Tamara Keith by answering a question from moderator Henry Gomez about the likelihood of a second government shutdown when the current spending authority expires next Jan. 15.
"There is no education in the second kick of the mule," he said, believing that a second shutdowns is unlikely.
Then he vented his frustrations with the Tea Party caucus, calling many of its members, "accidental members of Congress," because they came to Washington without prior legislative experience, riding a wave of discontent among conservatives with President Obama.
"They don't know how to be legislators," he said.

NEA Foundation Report: One step toward blowing up back-end accountability
Jal Mehta drew a deeply insightful conclusion about the teaching profession in his book, "The Allure of Order," when he observed that policy makers are doing with accountability at the back end what they should have done with capacity building at the front end. Because policy makers have boxed themselves into a back-end accountability corner they choose counterproductive solutions such as complex, time-consuming performance rubrics. Andy Hargreaves and I identified these problems and the solution in our "Professional Capital of Teachers," and I recently documented how this narrowness of solution is ruining "The Principal."
Given deterioration of performance of schools in the US, at least in comparative terms, and given the boredom of students, and the alienation of teachers, especially among younger members, the pressures are mounting. Something has to give. Unions, as this NEA Foundation report argues, need to take action with respect to what would improve the conditions and performance of their members. Members of the profession more and more want training, feedback and support in order to become more effective in meeting the learning needs of students—provided that this professional learning is constructive. Thus, "Unions Leading Innovation in the Use of Time," represents a new and critical foray for unions into 'forcing' a new and more effective set of conditions.
The solution of course is not just 'more time'. The qualifier 'innovation' (in the use of time) is at the heart of the matter. Nothing is more vexing to the teaching profession than the matter of autonomy. The history of individual autonomy, behind the classroom door, has served as a major detriment to the development of the profession. The imposition of narrow, complex appraisal schemes has made matters worse with wrong headed and ineffective new practices that reduce autonomy without providing a viable alternative. PISA 2012 gives us a more accurate picture of what works. It is not autonomy per se that is beneficial, but rather degrees of freedom that enables teachers and administrators to work collaboratively under conditions of shared metrics, transparency and a commitment to improving instruction linked to better learning for all students.
In other words time is a proxy for better learning conditions. And if you want to believe that all kids can learn, you better also believe that all teachers can learn---otherwise it is mathematically and strategically impossible to help all children learn.
This has to be carefully, focused work. The advice is do not make more time an end in itself. As the report concludes 'innovation' in the use of time comes with some strings attached—crucial strings. Not a long list, but a short, essential non-negotiable list. Time for focused work that:
- Places student learning and achievement for all students at the center.
- Seeks continuous improvements in current practice that promise to be more effective.
- Draws on and fosters the development of teachers' human, social and decisional capital—their professional capital.
- Brings teachers into deeper, substantive and continuous contact with their colleagues within and across schools to maximize the quality and impact of their work.
- Draws on the organizational and instructional expertise of union members to partner with like-minded administrators and policy makers at all levels of the system—school, district, region, state.
- Sustains the above 5 elements through contract agreements, memoranda of understanding and the endorsement of this new normative work that is embraced, modeled and monitored in everyday cultures, not only in schools but across the profession.
Let us treat this report as one step toward blowing up 'back-end accountability', and signaling the start of a fundamental change in the profession where unions partner with all levels of the sector to lead change that positively, measurably affects the lives of students. To the extent that this happens the good news is that it will also positively and measurably affect the lives of teachers.

John Reed (novelist)
John Reed (born February 7, 1969) is an American author and novelist. His novel Snowball's Chance, a parody of George Orwell's Animal Farm, received international press attention.
- You get energy from [being hated]. The idea that one side of the political spectrum is more right than the other is ridiculous. Pretty much every issue in this country could be settled with a reasonable compromise. Then we could move on to the next thing. We could move on to the real question which is world domination. … We do have to take over or at least adopt a few more states or something.
- Interview with Suicidegirls.com
- Orwell's defenders always look to contextualize Orwell's shortcomings in a historic moment. Whatever his infraction, he was a victim of circumstance—times were different then, and, for example, Hitler was looking really good for a minute there. Orwell never meant that his books should be employed to stultify schoolchildren. And yet that's what "Animal Farm" is—an educational missile aimed at any healthy impulse towards reform. The argument that "Animal Farm" is a generalized indictment of totalitarianism is simply unsupportable by the text or any existing presentation of the text. Rather, the intelligence of the pigs as opposed to the stupidity of the other animals, and the ultimate hopelessness of revolution, renders "Animal Farm" a de facto endorsement of the status quo.
- Saint George and the Damn Truth
Snowball's Chance (2002)[edit]
- The old pigs were dying.
- Hard life goes on.
- Benjamin
- Manor Farm forever, I pledge my meat and leather.
- Single commandment: "Most animals are equalish."
- And without pause, the great pig Snowball called the extremist attack, "The Massacre of the Twin Mills." And for it he vowed - "Revenge, justice, retaliation! The blood of beavers will flow in the river of the Woodlands!"
- And the rest of the park animals, who were usually silenced by such outbursts from the sheep, this time responded, belting out a battle cry of their own - one that quickly overpowered the baa-ing of the sheep altogether. "Kill the beavers!" "Kill the beavers!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
The Whole (2005)[edit]
- You're as hot As a Malibu snot!
Sweet for the pickin' And salty, for lickin'.
- Tommy Lee sings
- We get sweaty riding rides.
We cuddle in our tighty whites.
It's natural that boys get stinky.
We scratch our pits and sniff our pinkies.
[later verse]
We giggle when we drink our juice.
We like it sweet and 90 proof.
Bear cubs wrestle, bear cubs grunt.
You think it's wrong, you're ignorant.
- Michael Jackson sings in his own defense
- Thing: "Capital punishment - cruel and fruitable, or, the ultimate in criminal detergent?"
- Love is splendourous, orgies are sick. But an orgy ain't too bad once in a bit.
- Thing (on Roy, or Ceasar): "He just has that certain je ne suis pas, that certain indefinable something of animal maggotism."
- Thing: "On the wings of love, we'll soar to the depths."

Quotes about John Reed[edit]
- As the World Trade Center massacre was happening, all New Yorkers probably formed ideas about who was responsible. But I suspect John Reed was the only one who blamed George Orwell.
- John Strausbaugh, "Return to Animal Farm", New York Press, 8 October 2002

Great news! Microsoft Office has come to iOS. Well … sorta maybe. The new Office Mobile for iPhone is an intentionally neutered version that's optimized for a smartphone display. It also requires an Office 365 subscription, which costs $100 per year for the Home Premium plan. Sure, you can run Office Mobile on your iPad -- at 2x magnification -- but it's a subpar experience.
There's another option that's better for iPads: Office Web Apps, which has scaled-down versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and One Note. Documents are kept in the cloud on Microsoft's SkyDrive service. Using a browser, you sign into your Microsoft account, and then use Web Apps to create, edit and view documents. Web Apps have the same look and feel as traditional Office apps, although browser-based editing can be slow at times.

- Severe and sometimes fatal reactions along with a rash have rarely happened with fluoxetine delayed-release capsules. Lung, kidney, or liver problems have also happened. Call your doctor right away if you have a change in the amount of urine passed, dark urine, loss of appetite, upset stomach or stomach pain, pale stools, vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or shortness of breath.
- If your doctor tells you to stop taking fluoxetine delayed-release capsules, you will need to wait at least 5 weeks before beginning to take certain other medicines (eg, MAOIs, nefazodone, thioridazine). Ask your doctor when you should start to take your new medicines after you have stopped taking fluoxetine delayed-release capsules.
- Low blood sodium levels may occur from treatment with fluoxetine delayed-release capsules. In severe cases, this can be deadly. Call your doctor right away if you have confusion, decreased coordination, fainting, hallucinations, headache, memory problems, mental or mood changes, seizures, sluggishness, trouble concentrating, or weakness.
- Fluoxetine delayed-release capsules may rarely cause a prolonged, painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if this happens.
- Other brands of medicine that contain the same ingredient (fluoxetine) are available. These other brands may be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or to treat depression in patients with bipolar disorder. Do not take fluoxetine delayed-release capsules if you are taking any other medicine that contains fluoxetine. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Use fluoxetine delayed-release capsules with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially low blood sodium levels.
- Fluoxetine delayed-release capsules should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- Fluoxetine delayed-release capsules may cause weight changes. CHILDREN and teenagers may need regular weight and growth checks while they take fluoxetine delayed-release capsules.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Fluoxetine delayed-release capsules may cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using fluoxetine delayed-release capsules while you are pregnant. Fluoxetine delayed-release capsules are found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking fluoxetine delayed-release capsules.

The Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names ® (TGN), The Art & Architecture Thesaurus ® (AAT), and the Union List of Artist Names ® (ULAN) are structured vocabularies that can be used to improve access to information about art, architecture, and material culture. The Cultural Objects Name Authority ® (CONA) is currently in development. It compiles titles, attributions, depicted subjects, and other metadata about works of art, architecture, and cultural heritage, both extant and historical; metadata is gathered or linked from museum collections, special collections, archives, libraries, scholarly research, and other sources. CONA is linked to the Getty's structured vocabularies, the Art & Architecture Thesaurus ® (AAT), the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names ® (TGN), and the Union List of Artist Names ® (ULAN). Through rich metadata and links, it is hoped that CONA and the Getty vocabularies will provide a powerful conduit for research and discovery for digital art history and related disciplines.
The TGN is not currently linked to maps, although the coordinates should allow users to find the places on a map. TGN is not a GIS. While many records in TGN include coordinates, these coordinates are approximate and are intended for reference ("finding purposes") only. TGN is intended to aid cataloging, research, and discovery of art historical, archaeological, and other scholarly information. However, its unique thesaural structure and emphasis on historical places make it useful for other disciplines in the broader Linked Open Data cloud. For GIS information, TGN may be linked to existing major, general-purpose, geographic databases.
Target audience: The Getty vocabularies and CONA are intended
to provide terminology and other information about the objects,
artists, concepts, and places important to various disciplines that
specialize in art, architecture and material culture. The TGN includes
names and associated information about places. Places in TGN include
administrative political entities (e.g., cities, nations)
and physical features (e.g., mountains, rivers). Current
and historical places are included.
The primary users of the Getty vocabularies include museums, art libraries, archives, visual resource collection catalogers, bibliographic projects concerned with art, researchers in art and art history, and the information specialists who are dealing with the needs of these users. In addition, a significant number of users of the Getty vocabularies are students or members of the general public.
Accessing the vocabularies: Catalogers and indexers who use the vocabularies typically access them by using them as implemented in a collection management system (either purchased off-the-shelf through a vendor or custom-built for their local requirements) or by copying-and-pasting from the online databases on the Getty Web site. The databases made available on the Web site are intended to support limited research and cataloging efforts. Companies and institutions interested in regular or extensive use of the Getty vocabularies should explore licensing options by contacting the Getty Vocabulary Program at firstname.lastname@example.com. Implementers who wish to provide vocabularies to end-users or use them in search engines may license the vocabularies in XML or relational tables, which are released annually on July 1. The data is also available via Web services, where it is updated every two weeks. The licensed files include no user interface. The TGN is available as Linked Open Data (LOD).
Comprehensiveness and updates: The TGN is a compiled resource;
it is not comprehensive. A minimum TGN records contains a numeric
ID, a name, a place in the hierarchy, and a place type. The TGN
grows through contributions. Current areas of TGN development include 1) updating the modern hierarchy of administrative divisions, 2) adding archaeological sites, World Heritage Site names, and other historical sites, focusing on Asian, Pre-Columbian, Middle Eastern, and others, 3) building historical hierarchies for historical nations and empires.
History of the TGN
Work on the TGN began in 1987, when the Getty created a department
dedicated to compiling and distributing terminology, at that time
called the Vocabulary Coordination Group. The AAT was already being
managed by the Getty at that time, and the Getty attempted to respond
to requests from the creators of art information for additional
controlled vocabularies for artists' names (ULAN) and geographic
names (TGN). The development of TGN was informed by an international
study completed by the Thesaurus Artis Universalis (TAU), a working
group of the Comité International d'Histoire de l'Art (CIHA),
and by the consensus reached at a colloquium held in 1991, attended
by the spectrum of potential users of geographic vocabulary in cataloging
and scholarship of art and architectural history and archaeology.
The initial core of the TGN was compiled from thousands of geographic
names in use by various Getty cataloging and indexing projects,
enlarged by information from U. S. government databases, and further
enhanced by the manual entry of information from published hard-copy
sources. The TGN grows and changes via contributions from the user
community and editorial work of the Getty Vocabulary Program.
The basic principles under which the TGN is constructed and maintained
were established by the AAT and also employed for the ULAN: Its
scope includes terminology needed to catalog and retrieve information
about the visual arts and architecture; it is constructed using
national and international standards for thesaurus construction;
it comprises a hierarchy with tree structures corresponding to the
current and historical worlds; it is based on terminology that is
current, warranted for use by authoritative literary sources, and
validated by use in the scholarly art and architectural history
community; and it is compiled and edited in response to the needs
of the user community.
TGN was founded under the management of Eleanor Fink (head of what
was then called the Vocabulary Coordination Group, and subsequently
Director of the Art History Information Program, later called the
Getty Information Institute). TGN has been constructed over the
years by numerous members of the user community and an army of dedicated
editors, under the supervision of several managers. Technical support
for the TGN was provided by the Getty. TGN was first published in
1997 in machine-readable files. Given the growing size and frequency
of changes and additions to the TGN, hard-copy publication was deemed
to be impractical. It is currently published in both a searchable
online Web interface and in data files available for licensing.
The data for the TGN is compiled and edited in an editorial system
that was custom-built by Getty technical staff to meet the unique
requirements of compiling data from many contributors, building
complex and changing polyhierarchies, merging, moving, and publishing
in various formats. Final editorial control of the TGN is maintained
by the Getty Vocabulary Program, using well-established editorial
The current manager
of the Getty vocabularies is Patricia Harpring, Managing Editor. Administratively, the Vocabulary Program resides under the GRI Collection Management and Description Division (David
Farneth, Head). Other GRI departments in this division are General Collection Cataloging,
Special Collections Cataloging, Digital Services, the Registrar's Office, Institutional
Records and Archives, and Conservation and Preservation. The Vocabulary Program works with Art History Documentation (Murtha Baca, Head) to foster foreign language
translations of the vocabularies, maintain national and international
partnerships, and oversee licensing and marketing.
Scope and Structure
TGN is a structured vocabulary containing names and other information about places. Names for a place may
include names in the vernacular language, English, other languages,
historical names, names and in natural order and inverted order.
Among these names, one is flagged as the preferred name.
TGN is a thesaurus, compliant with ISO and NISO standards for thesaurus
construction; it contains hierarchical, equivalence, and associative
relationships. Note that TGN is not a GIS (Geographic Information
System). While many records in TGN include coordinates, these coordinates
are approximate and are intended for reference only.
The focus of each TGN record is a place. In the database, each place record (also called
a subject) is identified by a unique numeric ID. Linked to
the record for the place are names, the place's parent or
position in the hierarchy, other relationships, geographic coordinates,
notes, sources for the data, and place types, which are terms
describing the role of the place (e.g., inhabited place and
state capital). The temporal coverage of the TGN ranges from
prehistory to the present and the scope is global.
More about scope and structure: The TGN is a hierarchical
database; its trees branch from a root called Top of the TGN
hierarchies (Subject_ID: 1000000). Currently there are two TGN facets, World and Extraterrestrial Places. Under the facet World, places are arranged in hierarchies generally representing the
current political and physical world, although some historical nations
and empires are also included. There may be multiple broader contexts,
making the TGN polyhierarchical.
Information in the Record (Fields)
Administrative: Refers to places defined by administrative
boundaries and conditions, including inhabited places,
nations, and empires.
Physical: Refers to physical features, defined
by their physical characteristics on planet Earth, including
mountains, rivers, and oceans.
Both: Used for places that are both administrative
and physical.
Hierarchy Name, Guide Term, and Facet: Currently
these record types are hidden from end-users.
The primary sources of coordinates in TGN are either of the two large U.S. government databases, USGS (United States Geological Survey (USGS) and NGA (formerly NIMA; National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
So far as is possible given that TGN is compiled from various contributors, coordinates in TGN are compliant with following standards: ISO 6709 Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates, using the WGS 84 (revised 2004) coordinate reference system.
Preferred Name
The flag preferred following a name indicates that
the name is the so-called preferred name for the
record. (The flag non-preferred is hidden in the
Each record has one and only one default preferred name,
flagged in order to provide a default name for the hierarchical
and other displays (see also Language of the Names below).
The preferred name is the name most commonly used in the
vernacular (local) language (as in the example below,
transliterated from Arabic).
The preferred name for physical features is the inverted
form of the name, when applicable. This is the name that
would be preferred in alphabetical lists.
Display Name
There may be a name flagged Display, meaning that
this name should be used in horizontal displays (such
as a label or results list) where confusion may result
from using the preferred name. For example, when the name
of a city is the same as the name of a county, the name
of the county should include the word county for
clarity in a horizontal display. In the example below,
Los Angeles county is a display name, meaning that
this name should be used in a horizontal display when
it is a parent with the name of the city, as in the following:
Los Angeles (Los Angeles county, California,
United States). If the name is flagged Index,
this is the name that should be used in alphabetical lists.
The Preferred Name is the default Index Name and generally
not flagged Index.

Anyone who reads Sir Howard Davies's acerbic regular diary column in Management Today magazine will know that the former head of the CBI and London School of Economics is extremely well-qualified to lead an independent inquiry into UK airport capacity. He seems to spend much of his time travelling by air between international destinations – dropping in the occasional barb about the airports he passes through.
In July, he pointed out that "you need a sense of humour to fly from Venice airport. Congested? It makes Heathrow Terminal 1 look like a county cricket ground on a wet afternoon". Last December, he recounted a bad Paris-Munich TGV experience, but added he was "instinctively pro-train, except when it is owned by Richard Branson". Read more

Repower —By Capt. Ken Kreisler
— January 2002
Engine Insight
|Is a repower job right for you? Here's how one boat owner tackled the question.
"For me, it was always wanting to be on the water," says Bob Dunn, captain and owner of Moonshadow, a 29-foot Ocean he charters out of Penna's Marina in Beach Haven, New Jersey. "And as long as I was making that decision, I decided I was going to do it right and within my means."
Dunn is a charter fisherman who along with his son Bob, Jr., operates his boat from spring to late fall. While most of his business comes from half-day family charters, he looks forward to canyon runs for white marlin and tuna during the summer months.
He says he first saw Moonshadow in 1998 and decided she was the perfect vessel for his needs. "She had a pair of 350-hp [gasoline] Crusaders with very low hours on them," he recalls. "The boat cost me $65,000, and I fished her all that season and was getting killed on fuel costs. When I put her up on the hard after my second year, I knew I needed a pair of diesels if I was going to make things work."
Dunn came to his decision with engine-swapping experience already in his wake. He'd replaced the 85-hp diesel in his previous boat, a 29-foot Prairie trawler–which he had for 20 years before buying Moonshadow–with a 200-hp Perkins diesel. He did his homework all winter, attending most of the boat shows and finally decided on a pair of 300-hp Yanmar 6LPSTEs. "Price, weight-to-horsepower ratio, engine size, range and fuel consumption, application, trade-in for my engines, resale value, and finally reputation were key factors for me," he says.
Dunn says the price tag for the Yanmars came to $38,751 (with Crusader trade in), including Hurth 630A1 2:1 ratio down-angle gears (unlike the Crusaders, these diesels would be installed flat), engine mounts, 80-amp alternators, couplers, wiring harnesses, L-type mixing elbows, and freight.
With that decision out of the way, Dunn sought out a yard to do the installation. "It's crucial to get the right team for the job," he warns. "Time is money, and when you're a working stiff like me, $75 per hour for a decent mechanic takes on more meaning. The last thing you want is someone without a plan." For him, the decision was easy. Steve Westberg, Penna's yard foreman and head mechanic, had done the Perkins exchange on the Prairie, and Dunn had been pleased with the way that job came out.
To keep costs down, Dunn did most of the grunt work, unhooking the old engines, readying the wiring harnesses, hoses, and Racors, draining the tanks, and doing some minor fiberglass and duct work. Once the Crusaders were removed, Westberg fashioned new beds, boxes, and engine vents.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The only suspect charged in connection with the birthday party block party shootings that killed an unborn child and wounded 11 others in the Brooklyn area of Jacksonville last year pleaded guilty Monday.
Toddrick Ashley pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Police said a witness who knows Ashley (pictured, right) saw him pull a gun from his waistband while at the 21st birthday party for three women at J.S. Johnson Community Center in the 300 block of Spruce Street. Police said the witness saw Ashley point the gun toward someone, begin walking toward that person and start shooting into a crowd of about 150 people.
Ashley, then 22, was released from prison in May 2011 after being convicted of grand theft auto and leaving the scene of an accident involving injury in March 2010. He has a lengthy arrest record dating back to 2007.
Investigators couldn't say who Ashley shot and if he shot the pregnant woman resulting in the unborn child's death.
They said the motive for the shooting may have come down to people from different parts of town not getting along.

Three billion Google search results for the phrase "going green" easily validate that sustainability is a vital area for marketers. But hidden in this volume is also the undoing of the phenomenon, for despite its apparent importance, it has reached a stage of being overwhelming and cliché. Furthermore, consumers are becoming savvy to disingenuous attempts to "greenwash" a brand or product.
Through a meta-analysis of claims across a plethora of categories, including beauty and personal care, marketing research consultancy SKIM found the majority of consumers find green concepts appealing—but not to the extent of driving purchases. Although many of us like to believe we care more about the earth than our own self-interests, marketing claims that focus solely on the green aspect of a product are significantly less effective at driving purchase than those that highlight product benefits.
A claim is a concise statement that promises value to the consumer and is designed to drive consumer choice. There is only a split second to convince shoppers to buy a product, and this green push means marketers now have the additional responsibility of convincing shoppers that a brand is environmentally friendly—as well as able to successfully deliver on the promise of what the product is designed to do.
Some brands have succeeded in creating a large following based on their promise of being natural. Burt's Bees and Aveda are known for their comforting, low sensitivity and low allergen formulas, which are purposefully natural, for example. However, do consumers seek out companies and products that are sustainable or is it merely a feel-good benefit?
Claims that emphasize being environmentally friendly are commonly used in relation to product development. Packaging and recycling related measures such as biodegradability or compostability are related to product usage and disposal, and are common in cosmetics and beauty products. Further, the blurred distinction between natural, organic and sustainably made products risks pushing consumers into information overload. Consumers are unsure of the difference between, say, a natural versus an organic lotion, let alone understanding the complex story of how the brand supports scarce ingredient harvesters and farmers in partnering nations. What happens when consumers simply want an effective moisturizing lotion but that benefit is effectively downplayed in comparison to green claims?
Additionally, green products, unlike their synthetically derived counterparts, tend to be perceived as less effective. Past experience, as well as general knowledge, has shown that "non-natural" products can deliver excellent results and resonate with consumers, for various reasons. Women may love the fact that a lipstick manufacturer has utilized natural pigments, for example, but the resulting limited shade palette may mean they are likely to switch to a product that offers synthetic but vibrant hues and more color options.
Shoppers also often find green benefits irrelevant at the point of purchase. Saying your foundation will donate to environmental protection is nice to hear, but consumers will ultimately prefer a foundation that works best. Consumers like to feel as though they are doing their part in contributing to the environment, but brands generally make it unclear how this is possible. A lack of clarity can lead to confusion, and combining this with marketing jargon can lead to distrust. In fact, less than half of consumers trust a company's green claims.
Despite all of this, consumers still expect brands to give back to the environment. A third of consumers look to product labeling for environmentally friendly evidence, and a growing number (expected to reach 98% by 2019) exhibit a strong interest in sustainable lifestyles. How are marketers to balance these seemingly competing interests?
Be specific. Distinguish what the green claim applies to—the product via its natural ingredients, the company's practices of sustainable processing, or the packaging made with effective recycling or decomposition? Something else? Relaying this message specifically is critical to engaging consumers. Saying something like "100% natural ingredients and 50% post-consumer recycled packaging that reduces global warming gases" may sound direct and specific, but it has shown to be a weaker driver of purchase than focusing on one strong message.
Ideally, a brand should not convolute the meaning by aiming for an all-encompassing message. Rather, leveraging natural ingredients works well (e.g., Kiehl's and Burt's Bees) as does building a strong, clear image of a brand identity (e.g., The Body Shop). It also is important to keep in mind that mentioning names of impactful rainforest or animal protection alliances may be nice for a media campaign or as a sticker on packaging, but consumers would rather be informed of specific product benefits in an on-pack claim.
Make it relevant. Ultimately, consumers want a product that works. Even for something as simple as an anti-dandruff shampoo, the consumer is more likely to be driven to purchase a product that claims to prevent flakes than one that emphasizes less split-ends, as it better addresses the consumer's core concern. This simple principle can also be applied to green claims. Clearly articulating the benefit is necessary as statements must be prominent and understandable, leaving no room for alternative interpretation.
Take the example of a body wash. Instead of saying, "Good for the planet and made with vegetable oils that are better for your skin," a message such as "Non-irritating for the skin because it is made with vegetable oils" will resonate better. The latter statement more clearly articulates how the natural element will functionally benefit the consumer, thus making it more relevant.

Before her doctor recommended daily doses of medical marijuana, Krista Robbins frequently blacked out. Later, she would awaken with multiple self-inflicted cuts on her body. One was so bad that it required 80 stitches.
Robbins, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, says her doctors put her on "more drugs than would kill the average person," including 1,400 miligrams of Seroquel, a powerful antipsychotic.
"Keeping my symptoms at bay made me a zombie on pharmaceuticals," the Farmington resident tells SFR.
It also made her unable to raise her five children. Robbins says her once-medicated existence has blocked out her memory of her oldest child's first year.
In April, her doctor recommended medical marijuana, which Robbins credits with saving her life. With her anxiety now in check, Robbins says she can be a mother again—but she worries that renewing her license, the latest wrinkle in a program plagued with growing pains, will be a frustrating obstacle.
"As somebody with an anxiety disorder, that's the last thing I need," Robbins says.
Robbins' switch from conventional medicine to medical marijuana has, at least in New Mexico, become increasingly unremarkable. The New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program has expanded significantly just in the past year, adding 2,100 patients so far in 2011.
The New Mexico Department of Health, which runs the program, has also begun hiring additional personnel just to keep pace.
At an Oct. 15 meeting, the DOH announced it would add five temporary positions to the program's three current employees. DOH Secretary Catherine Torres says the new positions will soon become permanent.
The new hires are charged not only with addressing the program's growth, but also with serving its approximately 5,500 patients, many of whom are due for license renewals.
New Mexico's program is uniquely state-run: The DOH is responsible for licensing patients and producers and for enforcing strict state regulations.
State law requires the DOH to renew patient licenses within 30 days, but some at the meeting said they've been waiting much longer. Richard Rubin, a physician's assistant at Zia Health and Wellness in Albuquerque, says he's heard the delay can be as long as three months.
"It's been a joke," Melissa Milam, the Cannabis Program's former coordinator, tells SFR. "The program isn't functioning well."
Milam says she's heard of DOH staff hanging up on patients who need renewals—a new iteration of the program's chronic customer-service problems. Earlier this year, producers often lacked adequate supplies to meet patient needs [Indicators, July 20: "Green Light"].
Torres attributes the backlog to a lack of staff and incomplete paperwork from patients.
"People do not realize that in [September 2008] we only had 183 patients," she tells SFR. "There's a lot more patients now, all due for renewal."
At the meeting, MCP Harm Reduction Manager Dominick Zurlo told attendees the new hires are addressing the lag in license renewals. They're also helping speed the approval of new patients: In October, 372 new patients enrolled in the program, compared with 135 in September and 89 in August.
Zurlo also said he hopes a newly imposed annual fee on the program's 25 licensed producers will cover the added personnel costs.
Beginning next month, producers must pay $20,000 if they've been operating for more than a year or $10,000 if they've been around for less than a year. But how far that money will go remains uncertain.
"People think all that money is going to help the program," Larry Love, host of Medical Marijuana Radio, tells SFR. "This money is going into the state's general fund. Who knows when it will go to the Department of Health."
Unless specified by law, all state fees imposed by departments automatically go to the general fund, preventing one department from receiving a disproportionate revenue increase. The DOH plans to ask the Legislature to, in January's session, mark the fees specifically for the Medical Cannabis Program.
Even if the Legislature approves such a measure, Love anticipates it could still take months for the DOH to see the funding.
In other states, crackdowns by federal government authorities have further complicated the administration of medical cannabis programs.
On Oct. 7, federal prosecutors mailed letters to dispensary owners in California, threatening intervention for selling marijuana, a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Across the country, banks have started closing accounts with medical marijuana dispensaries to avoid being targeted in federal investigations.
Albuquerque lawyer Patricia Monaghan says she's heard banks have pulled accounts from a few local producers, though she wouldn't name them out of confidentiality concerns.
Charlie Kokesh, who's been trying unsuccessfully to start his own producing operation, says producer GrassRoots Rx recently had to transition to a cash-only basis after its bank accounts were closed.
GrassRoots declined to comment.
But Monaghan says she's hopeful the feds won't intervene in New Mexico anytime soon.
"Because it's so tightly regulated and controlled, the feds like it," Monaghan tells SFR. "I think the DOH has done a great job trying to help sick patients."
At the same time, crackdowns in other states are hard to ignore. Robbins says she and other patients are worried about federal action. She's also planning to file for her license renewal months ahead of its April expiration date. She fears having to go back on heavy medication again, but says she won't revert to the street if her license renewal is delayed. "I'm a mother of five. I don't mess in illegal things," she says.

TROTWOOD, Ohio (AP) -- A western Ohio police department is mourning the loss of one of its officers who was killed in a traffic crash.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the Wednesday crash that killed 59-year-old David Yaney. He was a 33-year veteran of the Trotwood police department in suburban Dayton.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/VgySeW ) reports that Yaney's pickup truck drove off an Englewood road, hit a guardrail and went airborne into a creek just before dawn. Divers were called to recover the body.
Police are waiting on an autopsy that could help determine the cause of the accident.
Yaney, a Trotwood native and Vietnam veteran, joined the city's police force in 1979.

Goals: Western Bulldogs: L Jones 4 K Stevens 3 J Tutt 2 R Griffen 2 D Giansiracusa J Grant M Bontempelli M Wallis S Crameri. Collingwood: T Cloke 6 J Elliott 4 D Swan J Thomas L Ball S Pendlebury T Adams.
BEST: Collingwood: Pendlebury, Cloke, Adams, Dwyer, Swan, Elliott. Western Bulldogs: Griffen, Jones, Liberatore, Giansiracusa, Macrae, Minson.
Umpires: Ray Chamberlain, Shane McInerney, Andrew Mitchell.
Official Crowd: 28,339 at Etihad Stadium.
The Western Bulldogs claimed their first major scalp of the season on Sunday with a Ryan Griffen-inspired eight-point win over Collingwood at Etihad Stadium.
The Bulldogs defeated a top-eight opponent for the first time this year and displayed an intensity that coach Brendan McCartney has spoken of often but has rarely been seen on a consistent basis.
The Dogs led by as much as 20 points in the final term, but two goals to Travis Cloke - who finished with six - helped slash the margin to one point with three minutes left.
But just as the Pies looked set to break the Bulldogs' hearts, they forced a turnover in the centre with Jason Tutt able to find space to mark and goal with 1 minute 21 seconds left on the clock, in a play that secured the points.
Griffen was the architect of the stunning win with 27 possessions and eight centre clearances, but he received plenty of support from Tom Liberatore (34 disposals), Jack Macrae (28) and Luke Dahlhaus (29), while Liam Jones played arguably the best game of his career to finish with four goals.
Collingwood lost Dayne Beams to a calf injury before the bounce and his absence was felt in a midfield that struggled to assert the sort of dominance expected against their young Bulldog opponents.
The Dogs were on the back foot early as the Magpies opened them up through the middle time and again, with Dane Swan and Scott Pendlebury getting plenty of the ball. Cloke got off to the start he wanted when he outmuscled Dale Morris to mark and kick Collingwood's first goal, and Jamie Elliott slipped minder Liam Picken on two occasions to kick back-to-back goals that had the Bulldogs reeling.
But just as the match looked set to follow the script, the Bulldogs found their composure to steady and hit back hard.
Griffen was the catalyst at the stoppages and came up with his side's first goal as the Pies suddenly struggled to find the ball. Mitch Wallis, who was running with Pendlebury, followed up with a goal of his own, and when Koby Stevens kicked the last major of the term the Dogs held a well-deserved one-goal lead at the first break.
The Bulldogs suffered a blow when playmaker Adam Cooney limped to the bench in the first quarter with a hamstring injury that forced him to be replaced by substitute Daniel Giansiracusa. But they continued to attack the free-flowing contest with spirit and a sense of daring that was rarely in evidence in last week's disappointing loss to the Brisbane Lions at the same venue.
Several players came together after the quarter-time siren, with Collingwood's Marley Williams reported for striking Nathan Hrovat.
Jones continued his bright start with his second goal early in the second quarter and he followed it up with a determined chase and tackle on Clinton Young that was indicative of the Dogs' intensity.
Cloke had an enthralling duel with Jordan Roughead for most of the day, but the Pies spearhead had the upper hand in the second quarter when he added three goals as Collingwood wrested back the lead.
Griffen's inspired touch around the stoppages was important for the Dogs, while Stevens added another goal after an embarrassing lapse of concentration by Tom Langdon from a kick-in.
The blistering pace of the first half showed no sign of abating in the third quarter as the Dogs continued to take it right up to the Magpies. The Bulldogs extended their one-point half-time lead through Stewart Crameri and Jones, but a brilliant end-to-end run by Swan that ended in a goal kept the Pies in striking distance.
Griffen limped to the bench to get treatment on a lower leg issue that appeared to trouble him after quarter-time, but his side held a six-point advantage going into an epic final term that ended in the Dogs' fourth win of the season.

jeffkibuule - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link64-bit didn't exist 6-months ago and now Chinese OEMs are almost requiring it? And then the strong hints that they also want 8-core chips too? I know vendor a want to satisfy their business partners but I wonder if it will ever reach a point of silliness. Only a matter of time until 16-core chips (I say that jokingly but there was a time when mentioning a 6" phone would get you laughed at, not nearly every major OEM makes one but Apple). Reply
dennis.forbes - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkARM has been trialing 64-bit designs for years now. I doubt Qualcomm's roadmap has been sped up at all. Reply
Frenetic Pony - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThings that are dumb: 8 cores. 64bit for Android today.
Conclusion: This is friggen dumb. Reply
helloworldv2 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link64 bits for Android makes way more sense than 64 bits for iOS though. I mean, at least Android devices are closing in on actually shipping with more than 4GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the transition to 64 bits introduced nothing but pain for iOS, with the poster boy iPad Air constantly crashing due to low memory. This is what you get for having just 1GB of RAM while introducing higher RAM requirements in the form of a 64 bit OS. That was friggen dumb. Reply
Penti - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou don't exactly need processes (single programs) that uses more then 4GB ram on Android, the A15 arch already does support LPAE. You probably need it for other markets today already, but software stack needs to churn a bit to get proper support here. Especially for the android specific parts, parts that needs porting. Kernel and Bionic supports 64-bit already. That said, it takes a long time to bring something to the market in the semiconductor-segment. Reply
sipos - Thursday, August 28, 2014 - linkWhat do you mean by bionic in "Kernel and Bionic supports 64-bit already"? Reply
Infinitesimus - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkWell, the 64-bit introduction for iOS wasn't about addressing more memory. It was about vastly improved performance (the A7 is still one of the best ARM mobile chips out there ). It was definitely silly for Apple to be stingy with RAM in the new iPad Air but I think it was intentional. My suspicion is that they will release a "Pro" (or some other name) iPad that suplies ~2GB of RAM to work with. It will instantly give it an edge over the iPad Air.
64-bit, when done right, focuses on performance advantages Reply
solipsism - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI don't get why people think 64-bit is only about addressing more RAM. Why no mention of the AArch64 ISA? Reply
ZeDestructor - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link8cores, yes. 64bit, no. I've been getting OOM app closure on all of my android devices since my Nexus S. My Xperia Z did around 3 months before the OOM closures resumed (and I got it on the day it reached my carrier's store), although it's a lot better than the NS I had before it since I don't run OOM for the active app.... Android apps are not good with memory management. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - link8-cores are definitely dumb, and just as I predicted, Qualcomm did it anyway.
But 64-bit is definitely not. The more we delay moving to 64-bit, the longer the transition to ARMv8 will take, and make no mistake it's going to take YEARS as it is. And with ARM being stupid enough to STILL make new ARMv7 chips, I don't think we're going to see an ARMv8-only world until 2020. Reply
r3loaded - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI don't know who these Chinese customers are (OEMs or consumers?) but in my professional opinion in system architecture they are retarded. An Apple A7 will still outperform such a chip in mobile apps while pulling less power. Reply
dennis.forbes - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou've already benchmarked the 610/615 against the A7? Clearly you must have to make such an absolute pronouncement. Reply
jerrylzy - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkI think it's Qualcomm themselves who said Octa-core is useless, and in their ads they said, "Faster cores, not more". Ironic. Reply
Mondozai - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link"I think it's Qualcomm themselves who said Octa-core is useless, and in their ads they said, "Faster cores, not more". Ironic."
In a way, yes, but they have to go where the market is. In the end, China is responsible for 50% of their revenues as a company. If all the Chinese vendors demand 8 core CPUs, even if it doesn't make sense, can they afford to ignore that market? Mediatek and Allwinner can both supply 8 core CPUs and they have the advantage of being largely Chinese companies(ethnically, not geographically, speaking).
As Anand said, Qualcomm may not have a choice. Ultimately, the market will calm down and pragmatism will rule.
Also, 2 core CPUs have long been better suited for smartphones, yet why has Qualcomm persisted in using Quad cores? So it's not like they are consistent with their supposed purity from an engeering standpoint. Nobody is, except Apple, which seems immune from market trends(case in point, screen size, microUSB, NFC etc). Reply
mfmx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkWhat a bunch of hypocrites, half a year ago they said 8-cores are dumb: http://www.itworld.com/hardware/367591/qualcomm-ca...
They also made a video presentation of why 8-cores were dumb... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdauwqhmsas Reply
dennis.forbes - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkEven if that were an official company value statement -- instead of something a later silenced VP said (he also said that 64-bit was silly at the same time, which Qualcomm quickly distanced themselves from. And note that he was specifically referring to putting many very weak cores together -- lawnmower to Ferrari engine -- which the A53 is most certainly not) -- that doesn't in any way make them hypocrites: You can not agree with the direction of something while still making money from those consumers who demand it. Reply
mfmx - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe "weak cores" is a strawman argument, as the processor he discusses has the most powerful individual cores yet on a MediaTek processor. Also the Snapdragon 615 will have "weak cores" compared to a Snapdragon 800... Reply
dennis.forbes - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe 615/10 architecturally have the simpler A53, but they also have the ARMv8 extensions that should yield benefits for appropriate workflows. Much of the performance gain of the Apple A7 (the ARM processor world has truly the worst naming going. So many collisions) -- substantial gains -- came from those extensions. Reply
BMNify - Sunday, March 16, 2014 - linkno actually , look at the 6* specs, they have an intentional crap 64bit "single" ram channel to cripple them against the 8* series running far faster ram, if the Chinese markets had stipulated new lowest power wideio and/or HMC controller blocks, all the worlds consumers would have been far better off in the medium term... Reply
Jeffrey Bosboom - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThis feels similar to the 'megahertz myth' way back when: it's easy to market 'faster' processors, so Intel taught consumers to compare clockspeeds, which then led them into the technical dead-end that was NetBurst, and then they had to both reset technically and convince consumers to not do what their marketing had just spent years telling them to do.
It's not quite the same here because it's OEMs making these demands, and Qualcomm has their own IP stack that (hopefully) won't be caught up in this. It's still frustrating as a technically knowledgeable user that these marketing concerns will be controlling what I can buy for the immediate future.
Also, is there an eight-blade razor yet? Reply
Aenean144 - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link"Also, is there an eight-blade razor yet?"
My electric shaver has like 100 razors! They are small, but they spin real fast! Reply
BillBear - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou are aware that the memory address space is far from the only thing that changed going to ARM's A64 ISA, aren't you?
I guess not. Reply
Mondozai - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link"It also highlights a serious weakness in ARM's roadmap: anyone looking to build a 64-bit performance mainstream SoC is forced into tons of low power cores rather than fewer, higher IPC cores. We need a 64-bit version of the Cortex A17."
Wouldn't call 4 cores "tons of cores", Anand. You can get a low-power 64-bit Quadcore SoC using ARM tech. But yes, there is a performance gap.
Nevertheless, A-57 will be out this year H2. What's the rush? ARM recognizes the competition to get to 64 bit has more than a shade of gimmicks over it, at least as long as there is no 4 gigabyte smartphone, which will likely coincide with the first A-57 designs. Reply
winterspan - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link8 x ARM Cortex A53 is just about the dumbest SoC architecture someone could conceive of... Why don't they just go back to an ARM11.. they could probably put 16 or 32 of them on a 20nm process. Reply
rango - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkhow does Adreno 405 stack up against Addre320? how much powerful it is from 320 Reply
Rama TT - Sunday, December 28, 2014 - linkI really don't think its a dumb thing to do. The thing is most Asian markets believe that bigger is better. So when it comes to screen resolution or core counts. BIGGER IS BETTER. Take for example G3's QHD display which was totally not required at least on a 5.5 inch smartphone. We know that a powerful dual core processor can carry out most of the tasks with relative ease and consume less power but its not that easy to make the average Joe of China understand the same. Plus 8 cores really add a bonus in marketing. Tell someone that you have a octa core processor running under the hood and they go all nuts over your smartphone. Reply

Multiple reports tonight have the Mets signing Jon Rauch, pending a physical.
Rauch is an extremely tall relief pitcher, and on an inexpensive one-year deal, the Mets got the kind of price-per-inch steal that will make people jealous throughout the garment district.
Rauch posted a 4.85 ERA in 2011, but that is likely the result of a home run rate that actually quadrupled from 2010. Since his fly ball rate remained pretty static, he's a solid rebound candidate.
Jim Duquette has the deal at $3.5 million over one year. Rauch is a good bet to get some late outs. A solid signing; they needed relief pitching.
Here's an artist's rendering of what it will look like when Rauch stands next to Daniel Herrera.
The Mets now have the league's tallest and shortest players under team control, having just missed out on Jonathan Broxton, baseball's heaviest. Hopefully, a trade for 145 pound Michael Martinez of the Phillies is next on the agenda.

After a few minutes at the highpoint, I decided I could run to Mina Sauk Falls and back before dark. Wet, slick rocks slowed progress at some points, but the effort paid off as the falls were the best part of the trip. I had just enough time to climb the observation tower before dark, but the weather again obscured any view. #3

|It was a cold and windy morning. I first visited the Lookout Tower. As I climbed the tower I noticed that the metal frame seemed to sway a little because of the wind and then I also found slush on the wet wooden steps (not a good combination, for a spiral staircase). No good views from the tower because of the dense morning fog.
I then trekked up to the State Highpoint for a photo-op. While returning to the car, I met a couple of highpointers from Rhode Island; they were shocked to see another person there so early. We exchanged information regarding our highpoint experiences. Very enjoyable.

They mess up the picture, so I have to set the timer and take it myself. I guess they weren't interested at all in the highpoint of MO. Makes me wonder if I should have been?!

|Taum Sauk succumbs to relentless pursuit & dogged determination. After a 5 hour drive the arrival at the park was a relief. The 100 or so yard walk up the asphalt side walk to the highpoint marker was pleasant. The temps. were in the low 80's in July (can you believe it). This highpoint was a little bit of a let down after Elbert and Guadalupe, nevertheless, it is another highpoint in the bag. Taum Sauk Mtn. is in a truly beautiful part of Missouri with a lot of history. A trip here should definitely include a side trip to Elephant Rocks State Park just a few miles away on Hwy 21.

Our own Matt Singer gave it an 8 out of 10, where others are calling it one of the best films of the year. The actors involved seemed to love making it, or at least that's the impression they give in this new featurette.
