RIM Becomes BlackBerry: Tech Weekly Recap
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- This was a massive week for Research In Motion (RIMM) , which announced its long-anticipated BlackBerry 10 OS , two new smartphones and a major corporate rebranding.
Keen to draw a line under a frustrating period marred by delayed product launches and share losses, RIM changed its company name to BlackBerry on Wednesday. The Waterloo, Ontario-based company will trade under the ticker symbol "BBRY" from Feb. 4.
The Canadian handset maker unveiled its new BlackBerry 10 operating system and two new smartphones: the Z10 and Q10. The Z10 is a touchscreen device with a 4.2-inch display, while the Q10 comes with a physical QWERTY keyboard.
The Z10 will be available to U.S. consumers in March, with the Q10 expected to arrive in April.
Clearly intent on injecting some youthful vitality into the company's image, BlackBerry also appointed Alicia Keys as the company's new global creative director.
Investors, however, were unmoved by the flurry of announcements, and the company's shares fell sharply in the hours following Wednesday's news.
BlackBerry also offered a brief glimpse of the company's Super Bowl ad on Friday.
The company's shares ended the week down nearly 26% at $13.02.
Facebook (FB) reported its fourth-quarter results after market close on Wednesday, beating Wall Street's estimates, although the company's shares fell on concerns about its spending.
Facebook's costs and expenses rose sharply during the fourth quarter, jumping 82% year over year to $1.06 billion. However, CFO David Ebersman told TheStreet that he isn't concerned.
"Our key issues are investments in our people
Excluding items, Facebook reported earnings of 17 cents a share on a 40% jump in revenue to $1.585 billion. Revenue from advertising was up 41% to $1.33 billion, accounting for 84% of total revenue. Mobile revenue represented 23% of advertising revenue in the fourth quarter, up from 14% in the third quarter.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected Facebook to earn 15 cents a share on sales of $1.53 billion in the fourth quarter.
On Thursday Facebook also ramped up its e-commerce efforts, introducing its own gift cards.
Facebook shares slipped 5.7% during the week's trading to close at $29.73 on Friday.
Apple (AAPL) grabbed its share of headlines this week, unveiling a 128-Gbyte iPad on Tuesday.
"With more than 120 million iPads sold, it's clear that customers around the world love their iPads, and every day they are finding more great reasons to work, learn and play on their iPads rather than their old PCs," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, in a statement.

Top stone is an unglazed Mexican paver tile - eventually these crack because they were not fired at high temp. May actually have been sun dried.Bottom stone is an unglazed porcelin tile Have ordered a 2stone, so I will be switching to outdoor baking soon Top is 12 x12, bottom is 18x18 cut to 18x15 Actually works well, however want to bake at higher temps outside with a faster warmup
Fibrament; definitely not the cheapest, but possibly the best. Also, available in custom sizes. Check here:http://www.bakingstone.com/
Mine cracked from the heat of the little black egg. Burned through the cheap little aluminum pan they send with the stone. I called AWMCO INC. Phone: 708-478-6032 the company that makes the Fibrament Pizza Stone. - their answer was "yours is the first we have heard of cracking" (yea I'll bet). The fellow I was talking with on the phone asked me to keep track of the crack and report back to him (sure just sent you $60 the product cracked and now you want me to R&D it for you for free) - He told me the stone will never be seperated by the crack as there is some sort of mesh in every stone and SORRY.Never the offer of a replacement stoneI would not purchase another FIBRAMENT stone ever again - lots of money to buy and absolutely no help when your stone cracks

Georgia's legislative activities primarily deal with renewable energy deployment and permitting, such as solar easements that allow negotiation for assurance to continued access to sunlight as established in the Solar Easements Act of 1978. The Legislature also enacted legislation in 2001 for net metering of photovoltaics, wind, and fuel cells and related interconnection standards. [1, 2, 3]
Georgia's Public Service Commission began looking at Real Time Pricing seriously in 1996, and by 2000 Georgia Power, had moved to real-time pricing for industrials. They established a pilot critical peak pricing for residential consumers, Time-of-Use and Demand-based rates in 2008. Starting in 2008 Georgia also provided power for electric transportation along existing lines with adequate capacity. [4, 5]
"Georgia Power has operated the nation's largest real-time pricing program directed at large commercial and industrial customers since the mid-1990s. Its current subscribers include approximately 1,200 medium to large industrial and commercial customers (greater than 250 kW), amounting to more than 4,000 MW of summer peak demand. Most of the customers participate in the day-ahead program, in which they receive information on the next day's hourly prices on the afternoon of the previous day. About 100 of the largest industrial customers participate in an hour-ahead program, in which customers receive a day-ahead forecast of hourly prices, but only an hour's notice of the firm price in the next hour. Customers are offered a variety of price protection products to shield them from price volatility. They can chose the combination of risk exposure that best matches their attitudes toward risk and their ability to adjust their operations in response to variations in the price of power. The maximum load reductions on the moderate price day are approximately 4 percent for day-ahead customers and 10 percent for hour-ahead customers. On the high price day, estimated load reductions rise to 7 percent for day-ahead customers and 30 percent for hour-ahead customers." [7]
"Via an August 2006 Order, the Georgia Public Service Commission said it would consider PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005 vis-à-vis Georgia Power's 2007 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) in a proceeding established for the IRP. Therefore, it directed Georgia Power to address EPACT 1252 in its 2007 IRP. In January 2007, Georgia Power filed its 2007 IRP in which it outlined plans to introduce three new demand response tariff s—critical-peak pricing for large industrial customers, critical-peak pricing for residential customers, and TOU pricing for residential customers. In July 2007, the Commission Staff filed its recommendations regarding EPACT 1252:
"The Staff recommends that the Commission find that the Company has had certain demand response programs such as RTP for large commercial and industrial customers and a Pilot A/C cycling program for residential customers in place for many years. The Company has also informed the Commission that it has begun the deployment of smart meters in conjunction with their plans to introduce three new load-control programs in its 2007 base rate filing which will be addressed by many parties. The Staff recommends that the Commission direct the Company to make a filing that details the plans for these three new programs (or show where this information is located in their 2007 rate case filing) and provide an update on the status of the deployment of the smart meters." In August 2007, the Commission adopted wholesale its Staff's recommendations about EPACT 1252." [6]
The demand-based rates measure the on-peak kW and all other times and bill customers based on the highest kW used in a given 30 minute time.
Time-of-Use rates, depending on the rate are a combination of seasonal, on-peak rate, an off-peak rate, and/or customer specific.
Critical peak pricing requires Automated Metering Infrastructure where the company will notify the customer one day in advance of a critical peak pricing period and the customer must reduce their usage in order to get a credit.
The real-time pricing is based on the quoted hourly price available to the Consumer either 60 minutes in advance of the time the power flows or eight hours in advance of the day the power flows.

In short: Still as tough as everIn full: I didnt enjoy this race last year - at all. BUt felt I had to give it another try, and Im glad I did. Its still one of the toughtest (almost) half marathons you can do in the south, but with better pacing I found I enjoyed the challenge. Liss Runners put on a great event, in beautiful surroundings. Try it, Date of review: August 7, 2011
In short: Really undulating/hilly run - but worth the painDate of review: August 23, 2010
In short: Consistently good year after yearIn full: A really good MT race with some killer hills not least the never-ending haul not far from the end. Very supportive marshals (expecially that lady at mile 8!). Well organised rural event in the national park. Much better weather this year with dust replacing the mud!Date of review: August 16, 2010
In short: lots of hills, and steep ones, but great scenery, excellent organisation and very friendlyDate of review: August 4, 2010
In short: a tough but enjoyable halfIn full: excellent organised race from the car parking to the marshalls to the sign posts and mile markers. this is a tough off road course with several climbs ( but what goes up must come down )the scenery is lovely but as it is loose underfoot you tend to miss most of it as you need to keep an eye on the floor at all times. this is a great off road course and something so different from the normal road half marathons. a great medal at the end but most of all the sense of achievement after finishing a tough half.Date of review: August 2, 2010
In short: Best half I've ever done - tough, but fun and beautifulIn full: Absolutely loved it:- only £9, but loads of marshalls- lots of hills, but nothing to make you cry- vicious downhills over rough terrain, really challenging can either sprint or walk, nothing inbetween. - windy tracks through beautiful woodland, with wonderful scenery.Date of review: August 2, 2010
In short: Brutal but brilliantIn full: This is a proper trail race that causes aches and pains in new areas! Great Scenery, great fun and very very well organised, Marshalls were friendly and cheerful and the course was great. Not an easy one at all but will definately be in my calandar for next year.Date of review: August 2, 2010
In short: Great well organised friendly trail raceIn full: No mud this year but those downhills were probably even more slippery in the dust! Hard but lovely course, friendly encouraging marshalls, good water stations - overall fantastic race. Credit to Liss Runners for superb organisationDate of review: August 2, 2010

The more brands come to the PSU market and the tougher the competition becomes, the wider various marketing inventions are employed besides just technical advances and innovations.
Unfortunately, besides experimenting with colorful box designs and accessories (well, it's hard to expand a PSU's accessories set beyond the customary set of a cable, a couple of braces, and a handful of stickers), the marketing department comes up with a technical lingo to bewilder the customer with mysterious terms and abbreviations. Every box and instruction shows a long list of employed technologies, the point of some of which may be distorted almost to the opposite.
That's why I'm going to walk you through some of the technologies (or what the PSU manufacturers regard as such) most frequently mentioned on boxes with modern power supplies. And then I'll put PSUs with such technologies to practical tests.
Hot PSU Technologies Explained
Dual +12V output circuits
In good old times PC power supplies used to have one power rail for each of the output voltages (+5V, +12V, +3.3V, and a couple of negative voltages), and the maximum output power on each of the rails was not higher than 150-200W. It's only in some high-wattage server-oriented power supplies that the load on the +5V rail could be as high as 50A, i.e. 250W. This situation was changing as computers required ever more power and the distribution of power consumption among the different power rails was shifting towards +12V.
The ATX12V 1.3 standard recommends a max current of 18A for the +12V rail and this is where a problem occurred. It was about safety regulations rather than about increasing the current load further. According to the EN-60950 standard, the maximum output power on user-accessible connectors must not exceed 240VA. It is thought that higher output power may with a higher probability lead to various disasters like inflammation in case of a short circuit or hardware failure. Obviously, this output power is achieved on the +12V rail at a current of 20A while the PSU connectors are surely user-accessible.
So, when it became necessary to push the allowable current bar higher on the +12V rail, Intel Corporation, the developer of the ATX12V standard, decided to divide that power rail into multiple ones, with a current of 18A on each, the 2A difference being left as a small reserve. Purely out of safety considerations, there was no other reason for that solution. It means that the power supply does not necessarily have to have more than one +12V power rail. It is only required that an attempt to put a load higher than 18A on any of its 12V connectors would trigger off the overcurrent protection. That's all. This simplest way to implement this is to install a few shunts into the PSU, each of which is responsible for a group of connectors. If there's a current of over 18A on a shunt, the protection wakes up. As a result, the output power of none of the 12V connectors can exceed 18A*12V=216VA, but the combined power on the different 12V connectors can be higher than that number.
That's why there are virtually no power supplies existing with two, three or four +12V power rails. Why should the engineer pack additional components into the already overcrowded PSU case when he can do with just a couple of shunts and a simple chip that will be controlling the voltage in them (the resistance of a shunt being a known value, the current passing through the shunt can be known if you know the voltage).
But the marketing folk just couldn't pass by such an opportunity and now you can read on any PSU box that dual +12V output circuits help increase power and stability, the more so if there are not two but three such lines!
You think they stopped at that? Not at all. The latest trend is power supplies that have and don't have the splitting of the +12V rail at the same time. How? It's simple. If the current on any of the +12V output lines exceeds the 18A threshold, the overcurrent protection becomes disabled. As a result, they can still embellish the box with the magical text, "Triple 12V Rails for Unprecedented Power and Stability", but can also add there some nonsense that the three rails are united into one when necessary. I call this nonsense because, as I have written above, there have never been separate +12V power rails. It's impossible to comprehend the depth of that "new technology" from a technical standpoint. In fact, they try to present the lack of one technology as another technology.
As far as I know, the "self-disabling protection" is currently being promoted by Topower and Seasonic and, accordingly, by the companies that are selling such PSUs under their own brands.

Topic: Same Rails app accessing separate database for each user?
I am trying to figure out how I can write a Rails web enabled appication that accesses separate and distinct databases based on user. Obviously, the program would have to login to the common database to access the user-privileges. Along with this user information would be the name of the database to use in the MySQL volume (ex:application_User001). From then on, each controller request for the logged in user would be processed against their distinct database.
I see how we set the database addresses in our \config\database.yml and normally the database is application_production. My objective is to have many databases inside MySQL that are accessible based on user privileges.
Thank you for any ideas you might offer.

Saab's partnership with Chinese automaker Hawtai is already bringing about some changes in the Swedish brand's operations. Go Auto reports that the Saab 9-3, otherwise known as Concept Phoenix, will be produced in China. Having loaned 150 million Euros to Saab, Hawtai's investment in the company grants it 29.9 percent of the Swedish brand. While Hawtai's stake in Saab gives it substantial influence, Saab says production in China will only be for Chinese consumption and the vehicles will still wear Saab badges.
The Beijing-based automaker has wasted no time in negotiating the manufacture of the next-gen Saab 9-3 at its plant in China starting in 2013. Following this, Hawtai is expected to produce the "baby Saab" 9-2 range, which Saab hopes to build on a platform shared with another automaker. Just as with the 9-3, Saab says it will not be exporting the locally-built 9-2 from China to other markets. Since the 9-4X and 9-5 are underpinned by a GM platform, intellectual property laws will prevent either from being produced in China anytime soon. However, production of the next generation of 9-5 and 9-4X in China is possible, since those vehicles are expected to be based on Saab's own Phoenix platform.
Go Auto's source, Managing Director of Saab Australia Stephen Nicholls, says the loan from Hawtai along with another from finance company Gemini will allow Saab to resume production at its plant in Trollhattan as early as next week. The deal first must be approved by the Chinese government as well as the European Investment Bank (EIB), a weeks-long process, but Nicholls says that the loans will secure Saab's future in the long term.

MALOVICHKO, D; VAN ASWEGEN, G and CLARK, R. Mechanisms of large seismic events in platinum mines of the Bushveld Complex (South Africa). J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2012, vol.112, n.6, pp.419-429. ISSN 2411-9717.
Seismic events and pillar failures observed in two platinum mines in the Rustenburg area, South Africa, were investigated. We studied the sources of approximately 300 largest seismic events recorded in 2009. Moment tensors of these events were estimated from amplitudes and polarities of P- and S-waves. The inverted mechanisms contain isotropic implosive components in many instances. Analyses of uncertainty of the moment tensor solutions confirmed the significance of the implosive component in general. Several documented cases of pillar failure were considered in detail. For each of these a seismic moment tensor was calculated from an elastic stress model assuming an instant removal of a failed pillar. The geometries and magnitudes of the theoretical seismic moment tensors are in agreement with the observed (i.e. inverted from seismic data). The results indicate that either pillar failure or fracturing in the proximity of the reef (within a fraction of the dominant wavelength of seismic waves) are responsible for a significant portion of the large events recorded in these mines.
Keywords : seismic moment tensor; pillar failure; numerical modelling.

Rated 4.9 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CinnamonSpice A Bit On The Small Side The quality of this night gown is the same as other Eileen West nightgowns I have purchased in my local department stores, but the sizing is different. I ordered the XL and it is quite a bit smaller than the ones of the same size I have purchased at my local store which have all fit me perfectly. September 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by sayer de vérité My go-to most favorite nightgown I wear a M (10-12) in this nightgown (5'8", 160, 38B) and it fits incredibly well - just enough under arm room, not too much or too little. The fabric is wonderfully light yet stands up to repeated washings (on cold, delicate, tumble dry low), and I've got this in pink and aqua. Wish they'd make it in pale pastel yellow, blue, green, and lavender, too. I'd buy them all! No pockets but still nice. Love the delicate embroidery and pin tucking. When it's warm and I want to be comfortable, this is the gown I invariably reach for. August 7, 2016

Tiki Waterfront Sea Grill
The Tiki Waterfront Sea Grill has long been a favorite of the salty dogs coming and going from the Riviera Beach Marina. Located along the sea wall across the channel from Peanut Island, the Tiki Waterfront is an open-air bar and grill that serves up some tasty libations, even better fresh-catch snapper and one of the best smoked fish dips in town.
For those pulling up in a boat, opt for a boaters drink—a splash of citrus juice and a cacophony of rums. The Tiki Waterfront is a Sailor Jerry's hotspot, and you can't go wrong with a sip of the smooth and smoky rum. As for food, the menu is stacked with fresh catches, fried fish sandwiches and superbly done entrees. We highly recommend the coconut hog snapper, topped with jumbo lump crab meat and a mango salsa. If the paper menu doesn't have what you're craving, the chalk board specials certainly will. It's dotted with fresh-from-the-dock catches and the whims of the chef—usually Caribbean-inspired.
Located at the city-run Municipal Marina, there is no shortage of slips for the boat. Rates are $10 per day for dinghies; $1.75 per foot for daily rates of larger vessels (32-foot minimum for larger boats). Fuel, pump-outs, utilities, and showers and restrooms are available for longer stays.
200 E. 13th St., Riviera Beach, 561-845-5532

The Major Business Airplane Manufacturers at A Glance
Although the rate of growth of the business aircraft manufacturing industry has slowed, it continues to generate billions in economic output each year and supports tens of thousands of jobs. Here are the key facts about each of the major aircraft manufacturers.
Airbus entered the business aircraft market in 1997 with the Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ), which sold initially for $35 million. Early on, ACJ sales lagged those of the Boeing Business Jet, which had been introduced the year prior. More recently, ACJ sales have eclipsed the BBJ's. Airbus has added the longer-fuselage A320 and a shorter variant, the A318, to its executive lineup. For customers requiring the ultimate in space and long-distance capability, Airbus also offers executive versions of its A330, A340, A350 and A380 widebody jetliners.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 13 units, $1.025 billion; 2009: 11 units, $738 million
- Parent company– EADS
- Business aircraft models–A318, A319 Airbus Corporate Jet, A320
A partnership between Boeing and General Electric resulted in the BBJ, which in 1996 combined components of the 737-700 and the larger 737-800. As many as 10 auxiliary fuel tanks can be installed, giving the BBJ an unrefueled range of 6,196 nautical miles with eight passengers. A larger, stretched version, the BBJ2, boasts 25 percent more cabin capacity, but offers slightly reduced range. In 2005, Boeing announced the even larger BBJ3. All Boeing jets from the 737 to its largest and newest 747-8 and the 787 are available in VIP versions.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 10 units, $579 million; 2009: four units, $206.5 million
- Parent company–Boeing
- Business aircraft models–BBJ, BBJ2, BBJ3
Bombardier started out as a snowmobile manufacturer in 1942 and has grown into one of the world's largest producers of business jets and regional airliners. Over the years, the company has expanded mainly through acquisitions, buying brands such as Canadair and Learjet. In the last 15 years, the Montreal-based manufacturer has introduced several business jets, including the Learjet 40 and 45, Challenger 300 and 605 and Global 5000 and Express XRS. The forthcoming Learjet 85 will be the first all-composite business jet. The ultra-long-range Global 7000 and 8000 models will join the fleet in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 150 units, $4.909 billion; 2009: 173 units, $4.873 billion
- Parent company–Bombardier
- Business aircraft models–Learjet 40XR, 45XR, 60XR; Challenger 300, 605, 850, 870, 890; Global 5000, Express XRS
Cessna built its first airplane in 1927 and has since rolled out more than 190,000. Of the roughly 16,000 business jets in operation worldwide, Cessna has produced a third of them. The U.S. company's nine business jet models range from the Mustang very light jet to the world's fastest business jet, the Mach 0.92 Citation X, which will soon spawn the even faster Citation Ten.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 273 units, $1.538 billion; 2009: 289 units, $2.455 billion (financial totals include piston-aircraft sales)
- Parent company–Textron
- Business aircraft models–Caravan; Citation Mustang, CJ1+, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ4, Encore+, XLS+, Sovereign, X
Dassault was already renowned for its Mirage fighter jets when it introduced the Falcon 20 business twinjet in 1963. Today Dassault Industries, EADS and a group of private investors own Dassault Aviation. Dassault offers the Falcon 900 and 2000 family of business jets, as well as the Falcon 7X trijet, featuring the latest in fly-by-wire flight-control technology.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 95 units, $3,928 billion; 2009: 77 units, $3.063 billion
- Parent company–Dassault Aviation
- Business aircraft models–Falcon 2000LX, 900LX/EX, 7X
Embraer has been building airplanes for more than 30 years, but it wasn't until 1994 when the Brazilian government privatized the company that the business took off. Today, Embraer is the world's fourth-largest commercial aircraft manufacturer. Its ERJ 135/145 airframe served as the foundation for the company's first business jet, the Legacy 600, which was introduced in 1999. In the past decade, Embraer has developed the Phenom 100 and 300 small-cabin jets, the Legacy 450 and 500 midsize jets and the Lineage 1000 bizliner. The longer-range Legacy 650 was certified last year.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 145 units, $1.249 billion; 2009: 122 units, $1.108 billion
- Parent company–Embraer
- Business aircraft models–Phenom 100, 300; Legacy 600, 650; Lineage 1000
Large-cabin Gulfstreams are recognizable for their big oval windows and bullet noses. Today, Gulfstream's line of business jets also includes the midsize G150 and super-midsize G200. Gulfstream is developing the G280, which will be an updated and improved G200, and the G650. The flagship G650 will have a larger and wider cabin than the G550, the U.S. manufacturer's current top model, and be able to fly 7,000 nautical miles unrefueled. The G650 will have a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925, making it the world's fastest civil airplane.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 99 units, $3.984 billion; 2009: 94 units, $3.967 billion
- Parent company–General Dynamics
- Business aircraft models–G150, G200, G350, G450, G500, G550
Hawker Beechcraft combines two of aviation's most storied names. In 1937, Walter Beech introduced the Model 18, arguably the first cabin-class twin-engine business airplane. In 1964, Beech debuted the twin-turboprop King Air, which remains in production. Raytheon bought Beech in 1980 and added the UK's Hawker brand to the fold. It sold the company in 2007 to an investment group led by Goldman Sachs. Hawker Beechcraft pioneered the use of composites in business aircraft construction, including in the current Premier 1A and Hawker 4000 business jets.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 163 units, $1.584 billion; 2009: 217 units, $1.989 billion (financial totals include piston aircraft sales)
- Parent company–GS Capital Partners and Onex Partners
- Business aircraft models–King Air C90GTx, B200GT, 350i; Premier IA, Hawker 400XP, 750, 900XP, 4000
The sleek, pusher-turboprop Piaggio Avanti was developed in response to the energy crisis of the 1970s. Italian airframe maker Piaggio teamed with Learjet on a design that became the P.180 Avanti. Learjet dropped out of the program, but Piaggio soldiered on, delivering the first Avanti in 1990. In 2005, it updated the aircraft and branded it the Avanti II. Piaggio has confirmed plans to develop a business jet but has revealed few details.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 11 units, $79 million; 2009: 24 units, $173 million
- Parent company–Piaggio, jointly owned by Tata, Mubadala Development and the Ferrari and di Mase families
- Business aircraft models–Avanti II
Switzerland's Pilatus has been building airplanes since 1939. It is the world's largest manufacturer of single-engine turboprops. The company's top-selling model, the PC-12, was certified in 1994 and became an instant hit, thanks to its ruggedness, spacious cabin and unmatched performance. The newest version, the PC-12NG, features a more powerful engine and modern avionics. Pilatus engineers are now designing the Pilatus PC-24, which likely will be a twin-engine turboprop.
- Business aircraft sales–2010: 79 units, $346 million; 2009: 100 units, $403 million
- Parent company–Pilatus Aircraft, Switzerland
- Business aircraft models–PC-12NG

BlackBerry Gets Latest Call to Break Up or Liquidate
Break up the BlackBerry.
In the midst of a rout in Research in Motion shares, that's the message being sent by Macquarie analysts Kevin Smithen and Zach Horat as they downgrade the BlackBerry maker's stock to underperform.
Even as shares face their worst day in 12 years, down 25% to $10.86 in recent trading, the analysts are saying shares should fall another 17%. They put a $9 price target on the stock, though that would still be above the low of $6.22 RIM hit last September.
"Based on our internal survey as well as conversations with mobile procurement and security officers at large US corporates, we are skeptical that BlackBerry will gain traction in its BES 10 product," the analysts wrote. "As such, the future is bleak for BBRY as an operating business, in our view."
The analysts said a breakup or liquidation is the "likely end game" and ascribe $9 as the sum-of-the parts value. The parts: $6.12 a share for its services business, plus cash plus $1.58 billion in patents.
"We believe BBRY's biggest assets remain in its patents and its cash," the analysts add.
While a sale or breakup of RIM has been talked about for more than a year, that dour view comes largely thanks to the disappointing earnings that hit Friday.
The analysts over at Wedge Partners said the company "essentially fell short on all key metrics" and pointed out that they had been pretty pessimistic in the first place.
"Even given our consistently negative view of company fundamentals and views of weak Z10 sales and production cuts, we didn't anticipate a report this poor," those analysts wrote.
But even if the results bring back talk of a sale, selling BlackBerry as a whole has likely gotten much tougher than a few years ago. (Macquarie's break-up or liquidate suggestion makes that pretty clearly.)
Last year, the company announced a strategic review and CEO Thorsten Heins said he would consider selling the company. RIM hired J.P. Morgan and RBC bankers for its review. RIM, though, has been largely focused on selling assets, including shedding some very recent acquisitions.
Investors have been hanging on for word of something bigger. Several times comments about "partnerships" have spurred sharp rallies in the stock, and then drops when investors have realized a "partnership" doesn't necessarily mean a buyer.
Still, RIM generated enough enough excitement with the launch of its Z10 and Q10 to get shares climbing from their September lows.
If a buyer didn't swoop in a $6, though, it's hard to believe one will appear now, with market share tumbling and phone shipments well below expected base and forecasts looking down.
Microsoft had always been a potential bidder, and WSJ reported Nokia and Microsoft had in the past explored a joint bid but not gone further. Microsoft also discussed recently buying Nokia's handset unit, but decided against that, WSJ reported last week.
The recent discussions with Nokia couldn't get past concerns about price and worries about Nokia's slumping market position, among other issues, WSJ reported. It seem likely those concerns would be present in any BlackBerry talks as well, especially given the Nokia-Microsoft alliance has managed to surpass BlackBerry in smart-phone sales.
Another potential bidder that has been batted around is Lenovo Group. In January, shares spiked when the CFO of Lenovo said his company would look at RIM. The stock hit a high of over $18.
But that deal could face the other big issue that's often raised when talking about a RIM deal: Canadian pride. It's commonly discussed that the Canadian government would struggle to approve the sale of one of Canada's most well-known corporate success stories to a foreign corporation and a China-based corporation could heighten those fears.

Experts sound off on how men most put their bodies in danger.
In honor of Men�s Health Month, we asked health experts what mistakes they see guys make time and again. The good news? They�re very fixable. Check out this list of the biggest complaints, and do a gut check�are you guilty? 1. Not going to the doctor regularly. �Yes, the idea that men avoid doctors like the plague is a stereotype, but like so many, it�s based in reality. �Generally, I do find that men come to the doctor at their female partner�s request,� says Dr. Damon Raskin, internist and supervising M.D. for Ageless Men�s Health Facility, with branches in several states across the U.S. Women may get into good habits in their teens, when they start annual screenings for cervical cancer and begin using contraceptives. But men should also make a yearly physical a priority. If nothing else, it helps establish and maintain a good relationship with your doctor, so that when medical problems arise, you�ll feel more comfortable discussing them. �The cornerstone of good health is that doctor-patient relationship,� Raskin says. RELATED:�Are Men Healthier than Women? 2. Ignoring snoring. �Many men laugh off snoring as something everyone does,� says Dr. Nitun Verma, medical director of the Washington Township Center for Sleep Disorders in Fremont, Calif. But in fact, it�s often a sign of sleep apnea, a condition in which sufferers actually stop breathing briefly during sleep, which can cut off oxygen flow to the brain. �Severe apnea increases the risks for stroke and heart attack by 300 percent,� Verma says. If your partner teases you or complains about your snoring, it�s time to bring it up with your doc. 3. Acting like an elite athlete at the gym. The old adage, �If it�s worth doing, it�s worth overdoing� doesn�t apply to exercise�but that doesn�t stop many men from rushing into a rigorous, complicated fitness routine when encouraged to get more active. (If your doctor has referred to you as a �weekend warrior,� we�re talking to you.) �CrossFit isn�t a bad form of exercise, but it�s very, very difficult for most people,� says Dr. Rob Pomahac, chiropractor and owner of the MaxHealth clinic in Los Angeles, Calif. �I see a lot of injuries from fitness routines that are way too complicated.� If your personal trainer seems more concerned with coming up with a �creative� workout, or the instructor of your group fitness class encourages competition in a way that seems dangerous, it�s time to find something new. �Start with the basics and do what you can handle,� Pomahac says. An injury that takes you out of the gym for months�or restricts your activity in some capacity forever�is just not worth whatever chest-thumping satisfaction you might get from an extreme fitness routine. 4. Avoiding talk about feelings. You may have already learned the hard way that this can mess up your relationships. But keeping your emotions inside is also a habit that can endanger your health. �I see a lot more women coming in and talking about mood disorders, depression and insomnia,� Raskin says. �Men don�t like to talk about emotional things, and they think they can get by on their own and let things go.� But untreated mood disorders can affect both your quality of life and your physical health. A short blue period is normal every now and then, but don�t try to just power through emotional issues that are affecting your day-to-day life. RELATED: Men's Most Embarrassing Health Problems 5. Self-diagnosing and treating sexual problems. You may have seen the commercials for �Low T� (low testosterone) and recognized some of the symptoms, like lower sex drive or erectile dysfunction. But don�t try to bypass an embarrassing conversation with your doctor and treat these concerns yourself with supplements, herbs or other products you can buy without a prescription�which are at best useless and at worst potentially dangerous. Hypogonadism (which causes testosterone to drop) is an increasingly common problem in men as they age, Raskin says, especially if they are obese or have diabetes. So don�t hesitate to seek treatment, just do it via your doctor. (Are you seeing a pattern here?) 6. Being vague when describing symptoms or downplaying them. So you do get an annual physical�great! But allow your doc one nitpick: �Men tend to be less descriptive and minimize their symptoms,� Raskin says. Be as matter-of-fact as possible when describing any complaints to your doctor, and don�t worry that he won�t think you�re tough. Explain how long you�ve had symptoms, whether they come and go or are steadily increasing and what triggers them. You can also rate your pain on a scale of one to 10, or compare it to other pain or symptoms you�ve experienced in your life. Brought to you by: Spry - Healthy Living and Wellness for Women

Stock Futures Point to Weaker Open
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a lower Wall Street open Friday as fiscal cliff and eurozone uncertainties continued to dominate market sentiment ahead of the latest U.S. consumer confidence data.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were falling 69 points, or 55.32 points below fair value, at 12,706. Futures for the S&P 500 were slumping by 6.10 points, or 4.55 points below fair value, at 1369. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 4.25 points, or 1.06 points below fair value, at 2567.
"The euro area has seized defeat from the salivating jaws of victory, and contributed to risk aversion anxieties by raising the possibility that Greece's ongoing problems will not be resolved before the end of the month. It is just 'unnamed official' comments, but markets are in a strange mood," noted Paul Donovan, a global economist at UBS.
"Fiscal cliff concerns do not seem to have abated in the U.S., in spite of conciliatory comments from both sides in recent days. We hear from House Speaker Boehner and President Obama on the topic today, and the lame duck session of Congress returns on Tuesday. Let the squabbling commence," Donovan continued.
The Congressional Budget Office repeated its projections Thursday that if significant tax increases and spending cuts are allowed to go into effect in January they will probably cause the economy to fall back into a recession next year.
Congress is expected to work on tackling on the fiscal cliff next week.
The major U.S. equity averages endured a sharp drop Thursday as fresh worries about the eurozone and fiscal cliff overshadowed upbeat domestic labor market and trade data.
Concerns about Greece's stability returned after reports that the European Union won't decide on whether to provide the next round of bailout funds for the country until sometime next week, even though the Greek parliament on early Thursday had managed to pass by a narrow margin a new, tough austerity package.
Greece's parliamentary vote on the country's budget is expected to take place on Sunday, on the eve of a eurozone finance ministers meeting.
The read on the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for November is scheduled to be released at 9:55 a.m. EST, and is predicted by economists to rise to 83 from 82.6.
At 10 a.m., the Census Bureau is expected to say that wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in September after gaining 0.5% the previous month.
Overseas markets were weak. The FTSE 100 in London was declining by 0.88%, while the DAX in Germany was shedding 1.56%. Japan's Nikkei average settled down 0.9% on Friday and Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed behind by 0.85% even after data showing better-than-expected increases in Chinese industrial production and retail sales.

It will be eight months before the first dirt flies on the construction of the redesigned Interstate 270-U.S. Route 33 interchange in Dublin, but municipal and transportation leaders are getting a head start on communicating with the thousands of residents and commuters whose lives will be impacted by two years of detours and roadwork.
Their message? You can get there from here.
"There will be a lot of differences in the way you get around," said Thom Slack, planning and engineering administrator for the Ohio Department of Transportation, District 6.
By taking advantage of the extensive communications campaigns of ODOT, the city of Dublin, and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, everyone should be able to find smooth transitions during the two-year construction period, planners said.
"You're going to be able to get there; it's going to be OK," Slack said. "Dublin will remain open for business."
Slack, Dublin and MORPC leaders spoke May 28 at a ceremony to unveil a new 270/33 interchange logo and to preview the project and the joint communications efforts.
Project updates and alternate route recommendations will be available through Dublin's website and at 27033interchange.org.
MORPC will also offer its Ride Solutions programs to employers who want to help their workers plan alternate methods of getting to work, whether it be through detours, carpooling, van pooling or taking public transportation.
To set up a meeting, contact MORPC Ride Solutions at 1-888-742-RIDE or at ridesolutions@ morpc.org.
Designs are to be completed this summer and will include new ramp configurations, elimination of four major weaving and merging patterns, and additional lanes on both I-270 and U.S. 33/state Route 161.
The purpose is to improve safety and movement along the heavily traveled highways in the vicinity of the interchange, which was built in 1965. Traffic has quadrupled since then, according to ODOT figures.
"The number of crashes will go down significantly," Slack said.
The $75 million project is also meant to improve economic development in the area, and is seen as a regional project by MORPC.
During the next 20 years, the Northwest Columbus region is projected to add 40,000-plus jobs and more than $2 billion in investment, said Marsha Grigsby, Dublin city manager.
Phase II of the project, which will begin in 10 to 12 years, will eliminate the northbound I-270 to westbound U.S. 33 loop ramp and replace it with a flyover ramp. That phase has not yet been funded.

USA Volleyball Represented on Universal Sports' Top Performances of 2008
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 29, 2008) - USA Volleyball was recognized by Universal Sports with two year-end top performance awards, according to the Universal Sports Web site.
Misty May-Treanor (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (Saratoga, Calif.) earned Universal Sports' Top Female Performance by a team. The duo won its second consecutive Olympic Games Beach Volleyball gold medal with its championship in Beijing.
"The 112-match winning streak compiled by Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh is remarkable," Universal Sports wrote in its Web release announcing the selection. "But for beach volleyball's dynamic duo, that string of dominance was the byproduct of their singular focus of becoming the first team to repeat as Olympic gold medalist, a feat they accomplished in Beijing to cement their status as the sport's greatest partnership ever."
For the entire Universal Sports article relating May-Treanor and Walsh earning the Top Female Performance (Team) in 2008, click here.
The U.S. Men's Team was recognized with Universal Sports' Most Inspirational Performance for the 2008 season. Team USA captured the 2008 Olympic Games gold medal without a single match loss, all while enduring a tragedy within the team.
"The U.S. men's volleyball team's victory over Brazil in Beijing marked its first Olympic gold medal since 1988, and the team's first medal since 1992," Universal Sports wrote in its online press release. "But what made it inspirational was the way in which the U.S. men proudly played for themselves, for their country, but most importantly, how they played to ease the pain of a senseless act of violence which claimed the life of head coach Hugh McCutcheon's father-in-law just one day into the Games."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (538 votes).
In short: Well supported with a great finishIn full: Always a great atmosphere and seemed well organised from my viewpoint. A difficult day due to the hot weather but we all expected that should have prepared accordingly. There did seem like more water stations /sponges etc than in previous years with energy drinks available at mile 10 as usual. Earlier start too helped. Loo capacity was a problem with many inside the stadium not flushing.Need to have a better t-shirt, maybe have a look at what was provided at Leeds a couple of weeks ago !Date of review: May 30, 2012
In short: Badly organised race with wonderful support from the city.In full: Good: It was in Sheffield so local for me. The support of Ecclesall Road was brilliant. It totally made the race and would do it again just for that. Finishing in the Stadium was great too.Bad: Toilet facilities at the start (too many people after raising entry limit?) Chaotic water stations (cups) and no energy drinks - wouldn't mind if I hadn't paid £28 . It was also absurdly hot (not blaming the organisers for that but it made the lack of energy drinks worse. I saw many people in a bad way on the side of the road and I think for an expensive entry fee, you should look after your runners better.Date of review: May 30, 2012
In short: My home town so enjoyed the experienceIn full: Water stations were decidedly chaotic and on a hot day needed to be better. Fantastic crowd on Eccleshall Road and great volunteersDate of review: May 30, 2012
In short: Great AtmosphereIn full: What a great race. Poor organisation at start with directions/ traffic/ getting people to start. But otherwise fantastic- lovely course, lots of drinks, closed roads, most of all- great crowds. Incredible support on Ecclesall Road- as good as anything in the London marathon.Date of review: May 29, 2012
In full: This was my second half and my first large city one, I live locally so it was ideal. I would agree with a lot of the comments about the water stations they were chaotic and I do think that the increase in numbers attributed to the general problems I think this needs addressing next year. My main gripe would be the finish, you just seem to go around the outskirts of the stadium for a extra couple of miles, the support on Ecclesall Road was fantastic surely we could go a bit further in that area then just go straight back to the stadium for the finish. Date of review: May 29, 2012
In short: Friendly; good for beginners.In full: Good point: the loos on the far side of the stadium were finally open after many years.Not so good point: the water stations were mostly chaos. Unsurprising, perhaps, on a hot day, but as many have pointed out, the stations themselves need to be longer - and the cups,(cups are fine for me), need to be handed out not left on the table.HOWEVER!! MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED TO RUN THE WATER STATIONS AND ALL THOSE WHO HELPED MAKE THE EVENT WORK.Date of review: May 29, 2012
In short: Local race so feel loyal to itIn full: If the organisers read this please do take note and DO NOT make this event bigger. Usual problem of toilets , especialy for girls or lack of them and real bottle necks on the course and at drink stations. Water cups are fine but water stations a challenge. Stadium chaotic at start .Thank you to all the supportive volunteers though who ofeten get overlooked but make the event possibleDate of review: May 28, 2012
In short: HotIn full: Hot all the way round. My home town so I love it but I did my worst time ever for this race -14 mins slower than last time but it was so hot. I will be back next year. Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Fast and surprisingly flat, but certainly was a hot one!In full: Done this race five times in a row, and this was certainly the hottest (although Hull for the last 2 years was even hotter). Yes the scenery leaves something to be desired but I would commend the organisers on finding a flat route within Sheffield - no easy task. I'll put up with grim industrial views if that's the trade off.Atmosphere in stadium and Eccleshall Road makes this event special.Cups of water are a joke. Marathon of the North a few weeks ago used Iconiq water pouches - these are brilliant I think.Bit depressing to be overtaken by the two guys in the camel outfit (seeing as I managed 1:40 they were going some!).I'll be back next year ...Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Brilliant atmosphereIn full: I agree with all the other comments re. Eccleshall road. They should bottle the support on that street it made such a difference, especially in the baking hot weather. The extra water stations were a godsend and I actually don't mind cups of water (sorry). However, I agree with all the comments re. the increased numbers. I ran the race in 2004 and it was far more enjoyable and relaxed at the beginning and end. I think the race organisers could have organised an outlet selling gels, energy drinks at the start. I forgot my jelly babies and really suffered towards the end. Having heard good reports about Leeds two weeks prior, I might give that one a go next year.Date of review: May 28, 2012

Communication and Perception
Chimney swift calls are described as a twitter (Palmer and Fowler, 1975). The most common twitterings are accelerating and decelerating chipping (Chantler and Driessens, 2000).
Chimney swifts also are likely to use touch and vision in communication. They perceive their environment through vision, hearing, touch, and a weakly developed sense of smell. (Chantler and Driessens, 2000; Palmer and Fowler, 1975)

Rated 3 out of 5�by harwood22 Good stater club The Top Flite Junior series is a great learning club for the young golfers. Since they are just starting expect this club to get its fair share of abuse. So far it has held up to my 3 yr old son. Very happy that Top Flite makes these clubs, I have shared some great times with my son. A little on the high price side since these clubs are gonna get ruined and your children are gonna grow out of them fast. September 11, 2013

The doors of the Palm Beach County Convention Center opened January 24 for an evening preview of ArtPalmBeach, the contemporary art fair displaying hundreds of thought-provoking works from more than 70 international galleries. There's a lot to see here, with artful surprises around every corner (and remarks of, "How did they come up with that?"). We were among the guests milling through the exhibits—and taking note of what turned our heads.
|Untitled, Troy Abbott
What to see:
- Brendan Dawes' works from the UK's Richard Goodall Gallery shed a new light on movie posters. One second in a film consists of 25 frames. Dawes pieces together one movie frame from each second, presenting an entire film in a grid. Inspect the tiny stills of classics like Jaws, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Graduate and Annie Hall.
- Miami artist Troy Abbott's exhibit in the Robert Fontaine Gallery is a digital pet store. Peer into the bird cages, which hold life-sized video screens of canaries, finches and doves hopping around.
- Carlos Estevez's Noah II wooden model steamboat, displayed by the Evan Lurie Gallery from Indiana, holds paper cutouts of famous passengers such as Billy Joel, Beyonce and Daniel Radcliffe. It's like a celebrity version of Where's Waldo?.
- You'll likely notice camera flashes in Korean artist Yoo Young-Wun's gallery. That's because he made a paper sculpture of Korean singer Psy (and you'll probably want to pose with it, too).
- Nadine Kalachnikoff, wife of Palm Beach designer Lars Bolander, creates mixed media collages of butterflies. The colorful insects look realistic, but they're made of feathers.
- From New York, Sputnik Gallery's Irina Davis photographs modern Russian women as classic American pin-ups. Her photos aim to give Russian women of the '40s and '50s—who were expected to remain tough during wartimes—the flirty fun they never experienced.
- In London's Woolff Gallery exhibit, admire Zac Freeman's work from afar, then take a closer look. The portrait of a man's face is created out of garbage, while the tiny goblets stacked on an enclosed wall shelf are made of candy wrappers.
- Greg Haberny also works with garbage, and his installations, on display in the Michael Lyons Wier Gallery in New York, are some of the most controversial and confusing in this year's fair. Elephant vs. Machine depicts an elephant with a chainsaw trunk attacking a child's dresser (watch for wood shavings where you step). His interpretation of the United States, Beautiful Disaster, which was on display at the Democratic National Convention, is a wall of plastic materials and melted items that together form the shape of the country. His works aren't for everybody, but they draw a crowd—and opinions.
|Rectangle, Hans Kotter
Returning favorites:
- As always, the neon light installations from New York's De Buck Gallery are a contemporary art playground. Have fun staring into the light and mirror displays and Hans Kotter's latest infinity tubes.
- Also a bright exhibit, Stephen Knapp's lightpaintings are on display near the entrance of the fair. The artist arranges glass filters that act as prisms, then shines a light on them to create dazzling colors and lines.
- Be on the lookout for classic contemporaries: Several galleries throughout the fair hold works by Harry Benson, Annie Liebovitz and Andy Warhol.
ArtPalmBeach 2013 runs through January 28. For a schedule of events, click here.
