STILLWATER — When Oklahoma State's quarterback depth chart was revealed at the end of last spring — with Clint Chelf listed as third string — he had a sit-down conversation with his father, Randy.
Oklahoma State football: Clint Chelf goes with the flow on and off the football field
"He said there's a lot more to life than football, and one of those things is education," Chelf said. "He just kind of said, 'Keep furthering yourself and making yourself better through academics and through education,' so that's what I focused on."
That effort has paid off for Chelf, as he graduated in December with a degree in business and is currently working on his MBA. And Monday night, he was named OSU's Male Student-Athlete of the Year.
"Obviously, whenever you can be recognized for something off the field, I think that really shows a lot about you," Chelf said. "Especially academic work. I'm really proud to receive the award."
Just count it as another high mark in what has been a wild calendar year for Chelf, who stepped into emergency duty on the football field when injuries spun the Cowboy quarterback carousel in early November and then finished the season as the starter.
To qualify for the award, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average and have completed more than 100 credit hours. Athletic achievement and community involvement are also taken into consideration.
Track and field/cross country standout Natalja Piliusina, who is a three-time first-team All-American and holds multiple school records, was the recipient on the women's side.

Steve Jobs defends Apple's changes to iPhone developer agreementApple co-founder Steve Jobs allegedly responded via e-mail to a developer who expressed his unhappiness with changes to the developer program license agreement for the iPhone 4.0 software development kit.
Greg Slepak, CEO of TaoEffect, said he sent an e-mail to Jobs after learning the iPhone 4 SDK banned the porting of Flash, Java and Mono applications. Specifically, the new agreement prohibits the development of apps using "an intermediary translation or compatibility layer tool."
Slepak told Jobs he believed the reaction to the change across the entire internet was negative, including from Daring Fireball's John Gruber, who Slepak called Jobs' "biggest fan." Jobs reportedly responded by sending a link to Gruber's commentary on why Apple changed section 3.1.1 of its developer agreement. "We think John Gruber's post is very insightful and not negative," the Apple CEO allegedly said.
Slepak wrote back and said he believes Apple's changes are "limiting creativity itself," and said he believes there are a number of applications written with cross-platform frameworks that are "amazing," such as Mozilla Firefox. Jobs, Slepak said, responded to his second note in about three minutes.
"We've been there before, and intermediate layers between the platform and the developer ultimately produces sub-standard apps and hinders the progress of the platform," he wrote.
Last October, Adobe announced that developers would be able to create native iPhone applications ported from existing software written in Flash. The feature is set to become a part of the forthcoming Creative Suite 5 from Adobe.
Apple's changes have sparked spirited debate, with one Adobe evangelist this week lashing out at the iPhone maker for what he felt was a "hostile and despicable move." Lee Brimelow, a platform evangelist with Adobe, who advocates Flash and related Flex and Air developments, gained attention when he said he believes Apple timed the change to "hurt sales of CS5."

The proposals need the consent of the Master of the Rolls who would have to be convinced they were in the public interest. The consumerist orthodoxy, of course, is that cheapest is always best. But the fallacy of this position is obvious. No one employs an electrician or a dentist on price alone. People look for a quality service at a reasonable charge. They also do this when they employ a solicitor, but with one exception. A conveyancing solicitor is regarded as supplying a package. And provided that the package is delivered (ie, a set of keys or a cheque on completion day), that is all that is required.
But what if the solicitor charges so little that he is unable to devote proper time to the transaction or to employ competent staff. What if, say, he fails to make proper searches so that the purchaser finds his property is in the path of a motorway? In that event, the client will sue the solicitor and the solicitor will resort to the Solicitors Indemnity Fund, a mutual fund sustained by the contributions of all practising solicitors.
The profession as a whole, then, finds itself in the position of subsidising inferior work carried out by cut-price practitioners. Figures establishing a correlation between cut-price work and claims on the Indemnity Fund have now emerged.
As the Lloyd's debacle demonstrated, an excess of insurance claims can break even the strongest institution. And the full seriousness of the situation cannot yet be known as most mistakes made in the course of conveyancing transactions do not emerge until years later.
Alas, the public perception of solicitors as fat cats remains. The opposite is the truth. Recent Law Society figures show that 25 per cent of sole practitioners earn less than pounds 10,000 per annum and 25 per cent of solicitors in small firms (partners numbering four or under) earn less than a senior school teacher. A recent Coopers and Lybrand report estimates that, within the next five years, 20 to 25 per cent of firms will disappear.
It is not as though conveyancing fees were high. In 1993, the Woolwich Building Society survey found that our conveyancing fees were the cheapest in western Europe.
The British public is used to a high standard of service from all its professions. But the public cannot have professions that are skilled, efficient and incorruptible, and also have them cheap. Still less can it reasonably demand that an ill-paid profession should pick up the bill for all its aberrant members.
The writer is president of the Law Society.

BC News
RCMP show tough love in February
Nearly one in three deaths on BC roads is linked to distracted driving and Mounties hope to cut the carnage by targeting violators throughout February.
BC RCMP Traffic Services has released preliminary figures for 2012 showing 30 per cent of motor vehicle deaths, and 37 per cent of serious injuries involved distracted driving.
Cpl. Robert McDonald says anyone using a handheld device behind the wheel could be handed a $167 ticket.
He says hands-free devices, those operated by a single touch, dare okay, except for drivers in the graduated licence program, who are banned from using any electronics while on the road.
McDonald says distracted drivers could also face an additional charge of driving without due care and attention if they are spotted speeding, making unsafe lane changes or ignoring traffic signals.
The infraction carries a stiff fine of $368 fine plus six penalty points, potentially adding another $300 charge when insurance is renewed.

One of many terms used to describe a gay man. Pufter can also be spelt puffter or poofter, and is used the same as gay or queer. It's also the longer alternative to puf, puff or poof
by sidepa March 03, 2007
Pufters are Irish lads who privately hold a gay romance while outwardly displaying homophobia. Generally pufters will move away from Ireland together so they can hold their relationship without the danger of being exposed in their home country.

Astrophoto: The Beacon and the Spiral
I do love me some spiral galaxy action, and generally when I post a picture of one it's a magnificent, high-resolution close-up, detailing the spiral arms, star-forming gas clouds, and dark ribbons of dust splashed across them.
But sometimes you need to take the longer view to get a sense of the beauty therein. Hence this lovely shot of the galaxy M 109 by astrophotographer Alan Dyer:
Oh, my. The bright star to the upper right is Gamma Ursae Majoris, also called Phecda, the bottom left star in the Big Dipper's bowl (if you picture it like a ladle). It shines like a beacon here because it's about 1500 times brighter, all told, than the galaxy in the middle. But, to be fair, it's also a million times closer!
M 109 is a barred spiral galaxy very roughly 80 million light years away. It's a fairly typical object in its class, with arms intermediate between tightly-wound and widely flung open. The bar in the middle— the rectangular collection of stars—is big and well-defined, the consequence of the complicated interaction of the gravity of billions of stars all orbiting in a disk. Not all spiral galaxies have bars, but many do—our own Milky Way does.
Poking around the web to find more info on M 109, I found a long and excellent description at Universe Today, but to my surprise—given how close and bright it is— there aren't nearly as many good, deep images of it as I expected. Some exist, to be sure (in fact I wrote a brief post about it a while back myself, and this one is particularly stunning), but I suspect this is an underrated galaxy for astrophotography. Sure, it's a bit smaller and fainter than its splashier spiral neighbor, M51, but it's not that much more diminutive. Any of my friends with access to some big 'scopes want to accept this challenge?
In the meantime, check out more of Dyer's amazing skills on his Flickr site, or on his Amazing Skies website.

Comment posted Opposition evaluations of three year council budget by Integrity? Not in the ConDemAll.
I noted Cllr Robb's reference to the council selling common good owned assets with the capital receipts being 'invested' outwith the Helensburgh area.
It would be interesting to know specifically which of the assets referred to are common good owned and what, if any, restrictions there are regarding the Council's use of them, or any income they generate.
Integrity? Not in the ConDemAll also commented
- Simon's scattergun approach to threads trying to catch a fish regarding the support of the administration budget is almost childlike in its disregard for the crux of the matter. I dare say if there was evidence that opposition councillors voted against an administration policy purely because they are in opposition, and despite being in agreement with it, then he would be one of the first to criticise.
As stated by others (in other threads) the role of opposition is not to blanket oppose but to challenge when appropriate. In an ideal situation key policy decisions would be debated maturely and fully by all councillors, with assistance provided by experienced, and impartial, council officers. Theoretically A&B is in the ideal position to provide this model of local government because, at least in name, the administration is run by a group of independents. However in A&B theory and practice are ships that pass in the night – the alliance of independents have shown themselves time and time again, to be a political party with an internal whip just as much as any other political party. The impartiality, and independence, of the higher ranking council officers is also very much open to challenge as evidenced by the manner in which the administration repeatedly voted through appallingly drafted school closure proposals rather than sending them back for rework and challenging the officers to 'do better'.
The bottom line is that it is essential to ensure there is appropriate democratic representation of communities in the council's decision making process. For this to happen it is vital that the Council adopt a governance model which ensures there is an effective role for ALL councillors, not just those in 'power'. It is due to this that there is a need to increases the effectiveness of the scrutiny role (and support for that scrutiny) played by those members in opposition. In terms of the support role I refer to the part played by Council officers and I would be interested in whether the current opposition councillors feel that this is appropriately provided by A&B. There should always be clarity within a Council about the rules and about council staff and the support they provide to the role of elected members. However rules are one thing (and easy to implement – I am 100% sure A&B will have all this in place) but attitude is another. It is the attitude which sets the culture and determines whether sufficient support is afforded to all councillors.
Getting back to the specific issue of agreeing the budget (leaving aside the obvious fact that the details of the budget are kept under lock and key to a ridiculously late hour) there also needed to be consideration of the role of an elected member. Yes they are elected as representatives of a ward but they also have to give consideration to the entire council area when it comes to decisions which have a council wide strategic impact. This can result in what might appear to be contradictory behaviour. It is the need to find a balance between advocating local policy an council wide policy that makes it even more important that budgets are prepared in an open and cooperative manner. We can only live in hope that one day A&B sees this happen.

- Has Councillor Iain Angus Macdonald's rush to transfer to the SNP fouled the Ward 5 by-election pitch for Iain S MacLean?
Part of the answer to the issue of resigning from party X and joining party Y is for the public to stop voting like blind sheep and start to question the person behind the job.
There are too many people who would vote for a chimp if it had the right rosette pinned to it.
- SNP lose another Argyll & Bute councillor
This whole PR exercise about the number of people joining the SNP is a nice sound bite but doesn't really add up to more than propaganda. So there are about 35,000-40,000 members now? At the 2011 elections about 900,000 people voted SNP. All this increase in member is showing is that more people who would vote SNP are signing up as members – it doesn't actually signal a ground swell of new support, just an affirmation of support by a small percentage of people who voted SNP anyway.
- Bitter alone, Salmond now a declared guerrilla leader in charge of government
Richard, Tim is correct regarding the timetable for the Scotland Act coming into affect. You might be confusing those powers with the fact the SG can already flex income tax by 3p but have never done so. The Scotland Act extends it to 10.
The SNP, and more specifically Alex Salmond, is right to keep the pressure on the main UK parties to deliver on their promises of additional powers. However I think some of his approach is damaging to efforts to heal a rift between yes and no campaigners. Making claims about the parties already going back on the deal after 24 hours is ridiculous as is the talk of independence without referendum both by him and a now utterly irrelevant Sillars.
The SG represents all the people of Scotland, not just the 45%. Time for them to return to that job
- Salmond departure only hope for healing in Scotland – successor cannot be Sturgeon
The scenes in Glasgow last night are shameful, hugely regrettable, and a reminder that there is an ugly vein of bigotry amongst a relatively small number of people predominantly in Glasgow.
However it is not the face of the No vote as has been said on many Facebook posts (or words to that effect). Over two million people voted no, a few hundred have behaved like idiotic morons. Christ more people in my small village voted No (and Yes) than that.
Painting it as the face of the no vote is an insult to half the population of the country and can only inflame resentment amongst people who simply exercised their democratic right.
As for Graham's remark that all no voters are selfish and don't care about the poor. Well all that does is highlight what a petty person you are Graham. What a relief that Jackie Baillie beat you back in 2007. She isn't perfect but she is head and zhoulders above you in terms of trying to represent people equally.
Hopefully last night was an isolated incident with those responsible properly dealt with by the authorities. Hopefully we see a rapid decrease in crowing over the result by the no voters and hopefully we see an equally rapid decrease in divisive sweeping insults by Yes voters. Time to grow up and move on.
- The Union, the young, reform and the pound are the gold in the embers of indy
Didn't expect that I must admit. Bad news for the SNP.

'I was so cocksure with Jimi': How rock photography pioneer Gered Mankowitz captured Hendrix and the cream of the 1960s
Gered Mankowitz wasn't yet 21 when his pictures captured London's groovers at their hippest. As the portraitist prepares to put his Hendrix archive on show, Nick Coleman meets the man who invented rock photography
Sunday 29 August 2010
You will be familiar with Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs' 1960 pop-R&B hit "Stay". Of course you know it. It's one of the great teen-lust anthems. It judders a lot. It protests, not without vigour, that your mama won't mind and your daddy won't mind either. No, really. They won't. Not for the duration of one more dance. And a kiss. And, well...
"Oh won't you sta-a-ay," it pleads, "... just a little bit longer." There. Getting it now?
Perhaps you're thinking of the Jackson Browne version or the Four Seasons one or maybe the rip-snorting Lancastrian filibuster perpetrated by our own Hollies. Whichever you know best, try to hold that shuddering, plaintive, horny sound in your mind as you contemplate the following episode from the life of the photographer Gered Mankowitz.
"Stay" was the 14-year-old Mankowitz's favourite record and he just happened to be rocking along as it played on his parents' stereogram in the sitting-room of their home in Kent one Sunday morning in 1960. They were expecting important lunch guests: the great actor Charles Laughton and his wife, Elsa (Bride of Frankenstein) Lanchester. Gered's father, the author and screenwriter Wolf Mankowitz, was getting ready to mount a new London production of Ionesco's Rhinoceros and was attempting to cast the ailing but still imperious Laughton.
But still, it was Sunday morning. The front door had been left open to the sunshine and the house was billowing with the sound of Maurice Williams' unchained hormones. "Oh won't you STA-A-AY..." At which point Laughton rolled into the sitting-room like a Roman senator and bellowed "TURN THAT BLOODY NOISE OFF AND TELL YOUR FATHER THAT LAUGHTON IS HERE!"
This was not actually the moment in which Gered Mankowitz resolved to devote his life to the art of photographing famous musicians, but it was almost certainly the moment which decided that Mankowitz would never again be frightened of famous people.
Fast-forward seven years. Jimi Hendrix is catting around Mankowitz's photographic studio in Mason's Yard, Mayfair. The studio is sandwiched in a corner between the Scotch of St James club, which Hendrix has only recently reduced to a smoking rubble, metaphorically speaking, and Indica Gallery, which has just hosted the party at which Yoko Ono says she first met John Lennon. In 1967, Mason's Yard is what we'd now call a hub. It is the middle of the wheel where all the spokes of ultra-hip London meet, a place you go to hang out off-handedly while comparing credentials and clobber with everyone else. You cannot consider yourself to be happening unless you have Mason's Yard somewhere on your personal narrative. Gered is not yet 21.
In February 1967, Hendrix is absolutely the most happening thing in Mason's Yard – has been for all of the year so far and for the latter part of the previous one. He has freaked out every guitarist in London and outdressed everyone else. His part-African-American, part-Cherokee, part-Euro-American blood has made English blood cook with excitement at the mere thought of his proximity.
Hendrix stares blankly into the camera. He giggles at it. He puffs on a cigarette. Twists his mouth to exhale, narrowing his eyes against the cloud. He hunches. He slumps. The frogged English cavalryman's jacket that hangs from his shoulders describes a new geometry. He squares his feet, empties his eyes, puts his hands on his hips and gives the lens the opportunity to get its act together. Hendrix does everything but strike pop-star poses. But then he wouldn't. The last thing anyone wants to be taken for in early 1967 is a pop star, not if you're aspiring to true hipnitude.
"I didn't really think about this until recently, while I was preparing the exhibition and the book." Mankowitz is sitting perkily at a table in the back-room of a Piccadilly tearoom. It is now the long hot summer of 2010 and he is about to exhibit his Hendrix archive, some of it for the first time, in a gallery around the corner in Piccadilly Arcade. "But this was an absolutely fantastic time for Hendrix. He was enjoying all the attention. He seemed to be relishing that he was out in front. The Man. And he was really affected by the way London embraced him. Like all black American musicians at the time he'd been segregated at home on to the chitlin circuit or the back line [of the band], fined by Little Richard if he stole too much attention. And here he was in London, encouraged to express himself in whatever way he wanted, and everybody loved him. He was having a great time. It felt as if we were at the beginning of something..."
It was the beginning of several exciting things, including "rock" music and its artistic ancilliary, rock photography. Mankowitz had already been busy for a couple of years documenting the self-reinvention of the English pop star as a rock artist. Over that period, the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks and the Who had discarded their showbiz-clone suits and haircuts and were now rock musicians, not pop stars, carefully dressing themselves to accentuate their individuality and to put as much distance between themselves and corporacy as possible. They did not differentiate between street clothes and stagewear; they had begun to be photographed less in studios and more on building sites and fire escapes, even hillsides. The casual, in-the-world "naturalistic" pose had displaced the organised studio group shot. Hair, fabric, splayed limbs, displaced attention, diffident eyes, all of it uncorralled, unkempt in spirit if not in detail – the syntax of the rock look.
All of that started quietly in 1964, perhaps most typically in Mankowitz's shoot with the thespy pop duo Chad & Jeremy, and reached an elegant apotheosis in early 1967 with the cover art of the Rolling Stones' Between the Buttons, shot on Primrose Hill one freezing morning through a filter of exhaustion and smeared Vaseline.
Mankowitz insists it was the Stones who crystallised his ideas. "I had always loved the Hollywood image – those great stills photographers of the 1930s and 1940s. And I loved the B-movie imagery of the 1950s. Pulp fiction. I used to do [covers for] Fontana paperback books in the later 1960s, the real pulp stuff – morbid corpses and glamorous girls with guns and Nazis... Like stills from really bad films. But I also loved the glossy stills of Elvis in the 1950s with the orange-peel complexion. Totally artificial. And I decided I wanted to be a bespoke image-maker for the music business in the style of the classic portraiture of before.
"Almost from the beginning of my music-photographic career I remember not liking the look of the Beatles. I'd heard them on the radio and was expecting to see something like Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. But the Beatles turned out to look like Tommy Steele or Freddie and the Dreamers. The problem wasn't that they weren't black but they did look, well, rather showbiz. The shiny suits and ties. All that well-turned-out sharpness...
"But the Stones were different. There was a naughtiness to them. They wore suits very briefly, once, early on, but quickly reverted to their own clothes. They looked like individuals; like art students really, like real people – they had a sense of reality that spoke volumes in the context of their time.
"I don't remember ever getting a brief from [their manager] Andrew Loog Oldham, not until much later on. It was all instinct. I was full of bravado and thought I was the bee's knees, as did everyone else – we just had this shared feeling. There was nothing conceptual about it, just the coming together of a band that wanted to see themselves as individuals – and me, a very young photographer who wanted to be a serious portraitist by appointment to the music business. I simply wanted to express in photographs what the band were trying to express with their music.
"The same thing applied when I was put in touch with Hendrix by [his manager] Chas Chandler. Because I was so cocksure, I felt confident enough to say what I wanted to do. I wanted to present him as he was. He needed no enhancement. He was so overwhelmingly charismatic I didn't want him to do anything. I said I wanted to shoot in black-and-white, to present him with gravitas, because he seemed so serious about his music. I simply felt that black-and-white was more artistic, more atmospheric, more expressive. True." (Mankowitz pioneered "colourising" his old shots – "to create something new" – for a series of Hendrix CDs in Germany in the mid-1990s, and reworked the shot on page 29 specifically for the cover of his new book.)
Mason's Yard is still pretty much the same today as it was then, structurally speaking, except for the displacement of the public toilet by the new White Cube Gallery. High-summer morning rain is hanging in the air like fog, misting Mankowitz's glasses. He is pointing up at his old studio window, recalling his sessions with the quietly padding, whispering Hendrix. "You could hardly hear him," he says, not particularly wistfully.
It is not clear whether this reflection is in favourable contrast with his recollections of Charles Laughton, but it seems impolite to ask, somehow.
'Experience: Jimi Hendrix at Mason's Yard' (Insight Editions) is out on 18 September. The exhibition at Snap Gallery, 8 Piccadilly Arcade, London SW1, opens on the same day - visit www.snapgalleries.com.

Every car may retire in Melbourne
It is possible every single car will fail to finish Sunday's season-opening Australian grand prix. That is the claim of Roberto Dalla, the head of F1 electronics supplier Magneti Marelli. He told Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport that the electronics of the cars have become so much more complicated in 2014, without a corresponding increase in the amount of pre-season testing. "Last year," said Dalla, "there was a single unit made by McLaren that was the brain of every aspect. "But now it only has control of a portion, and the underlying challenge is to be able to operate like an orchestra the engine, the turbo, the recovery systems. "To find the right solutions will...

5-Year-Old With Autism Paints Stunning Masterpieces
Autism is a poorly-understood neurological disorder that can impair an individual's ability to engage in various social interactions. But little 5-year-old Iris Grace in the UK is an excellent example of the unexpected gifts that autism can also grant – her exceptional focus and attention to detail have helped her create incredibly beautiful paintings that many of her fans (and buyers) have likened to Monet's works.
Little Iris is slowly learning to speak, whereas most children have already begun to speak at least a few words by age 2. Along with speech therapy, her parents gradually introduced her to painting, which is when they discovered her amazing talent.
"We have been encouraging Iris to paint to help with speech therapy, joint attention and turn taking," her mother, Arabella Carter-Johnson, explains on her website. "Then we realised that she is actually really talented and has an incredible concentration span of around 2 hours each time she paints. Her autism has created a style of painting which I have never seen in a child of her age, she has an understanding of colours and how they interact with each other."

Nationals sign Jeremy Accardo to minor league deal
Feb 5, 2013, 5:40 PM EDT
Obviously the Nationals' stars get most of the attention, but an overlooked part of their offseason is stockpiling a bunch of quality depth.
Earlier today the Nationals signed one-time starting catcher Chris Snyder to a minor-league deal in which he basically serves as their insurance for Wilson Ramos and now they're agreed to a minor-league deal with reliever Jeremy Accardo.
Accardo tossed 37 innings with a 4.82 ERA and 29/16 K/BB ratio for the Indians and A's last season, and the 30-year-old right-hander has a 4.30 career ERA. He's nothing special, but adds to what was already impressive bullpen depth.

In spite of a slowdown in the overall pace of global warming, a recent study has found that hot weather extremes have globally increased over the past 15 years. Extreme warm weather can raise death rates, especially among the elderly, damage food crops and strain everything from water to energy supplies, experts warn.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Observational data show a continued increase of hot extremes over land during the so-called global warming hiatus," scientists in Switzerland, Australia and Canada wrote in Nature Climate Change.
More than 55,000 people were killed in a Russian heat wave in 2010. A European heat wave in 2003 killed 66,000 people. One hot spot in Pakistan recorded a temperature of 128 degrees in 2010, the highest in Asia since 1942.
Saint Patrick's Day is coming -- go here!
The average pace of warming at the planet's surface has slowed from the 20th century in what researchers' link to factors such as absorption of more heat by the oceans, more sun-dimming pollution or volcanic eruptions.
The world's governments need to shift from fossil fuels towards renewable energies. Almost 200 nations have agreed to work out a deal by the end of 2015 to combat climate change.
It's not yet known why heat extremes had continued rising despite the hiatus. One possibility is that the oceans have soaked up heat from the atmosphere and slowed overall global warming, even as the land had been exposed to extremes.
"There is no reason to expect the (trend towards more hot extremes) to stop," lead author Sonia Seneviratne, of the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science at ETH Zurich, says.
Reports of more extreme weather have been reported as greenhouse gas emissions rise to new peaks.
A World Meteorological Organization review last year showed that 56 countries reported a hot temperature record from 2001-10, while just 14 reported a new cold record.
England had a record 101 degrees in 2003, while Northern Ireland had a record low of 11 degrees in 2010.
"We are not seeing what I would call a pause in global temperature increases," Michel Jarraud, head of the WMO, said in Geneva this week. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years on record had been since 2000.

Sony in talks to sell PC business to investment fund - Nikkei
Feb 5 (Reuters) - Sony Corp is in talks to sell its poorly performing personal computer business to investment fund Japan Industrial Partners for up to 50 billion yen ($490 million), the Nikkei daily reported.
Under the plan being discussed, Sony would sell its PC business to a new company to be established by the fund and have a small stake in the new firm, the Nikkei reported.
The sale of the PC business would result in disposal losses that would push Sony into a net loss for the first time in two years for the year ending March 31, the Nikkei said.
Japanese broadcaster NHK reported on Saturday that Chinese technology company Lenovo Group was in talks about a possible joint venture to take over Sony's loss-making Vaio PC business overseas.
Sony said the NHK report was inaccurate but acknowledged that it was looking at various possibilities for Vaio. Lenovo declined to comment.
Sony has said it plans to revise the product and manufacturing strategy for the Vaio unit as smartphones and tablets chip away at it PC business. ($1 = 101.2550 Japanese yen) (Reporting by Supantha Mukherjee in Bangalore; Editing by Ted Kerr)

text: This restaurant deserves to be at the top of Minehead eating establishments. The owners, Kim and Gary make customers so welcome and offer a friendly and efficient service. The menu is variable and offers super fresh home cooked food. Kim makes some of the desserts herself and they are gluten free. A great place to visit.
