THE possible sale or lease of public land to the Marketplace developer has hit another snag.
It's not bothering opponents, who are upping the ante against plans to close part of Verner St for the $28 million project.
A report to last Wednesday's meeting revealed unresolved property conveyancing issues with land at Arcade Lane, surrounding private lanes and at the Huntly Arcade's rear.
General manager Chris Berry said a question mark remained over whether the parcels were in Council's name or the original subdivider's from more than 150 years ago.
He told the meeting that while the land "looked and smelt like a car park," the issue had to be finalised. This was regardless of whether Council decided to sell, lease or exchange the land, or not.
In June councillors controversially called for expressions of interest in 1806 square metres of public land.
It included part of Verner St, Arcade Lane and the Huntly Arcade's carpark.
They did so after Marketplace developer A&A Lederer asked Council to sell the land for a large scale commercial expansion, including a Big W store.
But councillors can't consider any of the expressions until the property matters are finalised.
Land and property services manager Ken Wheeldon told the Post a 1975 gazettal notice on one parcel of land came with the proviso Council must continue to provide free parking at the site.
Some sections of the community vehemently oppose any move to sell off part of the street for the project.
Goulburn Heritage Group, in particular, says this should not be considered without community input.
Furthermore, members argue the development application for Lederer's project is intrinsically linked with the expressions of interest and should not be considered separately.
At an October 16 meeting, 22 people stood in unison, opposing Council's move to discuss expressions of interest in closed committee.
Legal advice has revealed Council was within its rights to close discussion, despite public objections. But it had not cited the correct reason for doing so under the NSW Local Government Act "In light of the legal advice received, the decision to defer considerations of submissions (EofI) was prudent," the report stated.
"It is now clear the property matters need to be investigated further and reported to Council before the matter can proceed."
Also on Wednesday, Goulburn Heritage Group member John Proctor renewed his call for community consultation.
He said after six months Lederer's development application remained deficient and too many questions remained over engineering, traffic, heritage and alternatives to closing Verner St Mr Proctor questioned who would manage and pay for traffic changes and facilities, forced by the closure. He argued the project could be contained on one block, without closing the street.
"The developer has chosen to proceed with the DA without community consultation," he said.
"Why has Council chosen to accept this position and is not intending to undertake any early community consultation?" Retired accountant Mac Davidson told the meeting councillors should have been made aware of the "deficient" DA before considering whether to call expressions of interest in the land.
"Developers love to fatten their profits by obtaining road closures, as was attempted by the Argyle Mall proposal for the part closure of Goldsmith St (in 1999), which fortunately was not allowed," he said.
"…I am not against development in Goulburn but it should not come at the cost of great inconvenience to local motorists and particularly as we are about to celebrate our 150 years as a city."

Kevin Martin and Ray Allen cancel each other out. I think Rose is at least slowed by Lowry/Farmar, and the Thunder have no answer for Howard. Stoudmire is a terrible defender, and Dalembert is tough, but will be ineffective in that matchup. The Thunder will want to play at a much faster pace than the Pacers, and can probably hurt them in transition, but that won't be enough. The Indiana Pacers have a lot of defensive depth, as well as Allen willing and able to hang around behind the 3-point line when things get messy. The Howard/Boozer combo
should be too much for OKC. Rose's game is mostly as a penetrator, which will be negated by Howard lurking around in the paint and Lowry's pesky defense. Pacers take this one.

Security devices can't get it up?
Of course not - many security devices require you to get it up before you can even install them.
Porn, Government, and Security Devices...They promise so much, and deliver so little.
You mean after the all the claims they made? After all they said they'd keep us safe from? After how sure they made us feel in their ability? After all the charm, and the cajoling, and the expenses, and the hassle? After all they promised, now that they can't live up to even our most basic expectations, you're telling me that we're the ones at fault?
They can't perform, but now we're the ones who have to change? We're the ones who have to clean all the laundry, and be careful around strangers, and lock up fo
Remove the word "security" from the above sentence and replace with "software", and you'll have a good view of the industry.
New devices and software may have bugs which affect performance. Patches may be required for correct performance when exposed to unexpected conditions.
Companies (in general) would rather polish turds than expend the energy to make a good product.
Woo. Insightful this ain't.
Mods, please don't mod that uninsightful coment "insightful". Having a defect in a device I've bought has been extremely rare, buying anything from toasters to TV sets to video cards that just don't work is unheard of. Don't talk to me about the "complexity" of writing software, you think you car is simple?
If your software is buggy your company is incompetent. Period. We as customers shoud stop putting up with defective products and beta sofware that's been rolled out as a "finished product." If I find your software doesn't perform, I should get my money back.
People, can we please stop putting up with incompetents' excuses? After a quarter of a century of putting my up with your crap software I'm getting a little tired of it.
you think you car is simple?
Car analogy to the rescue!
Let's imagine you're a car builder capable of building cars with the current expected quality.
Let's now imagine your competition builds and sells defective cars for half your costs. For whatever reason, the buyer will buy the half cost faulty car and then repair it until it finally works, rather than buying your "perfect on release" car.
What do you do?
Let's now imagine your competition builds and sells defective cars for half your costs
So if that would work, why hasn't anyone done it? The answer is simple -- car buyers are smarter than people who buy software. Also, it's a lot easier to patch a program than to recall a defective car.
And cars have warrantees. I'd like to see warrantees on software.
Also, see the AC who responded to your comment, he said a few things I was going to.
Your answer leads to the answer to the post I was answering (which was my intention).
Changing the software quality paradigm isn't a responsibity of the producers, it's the buyers who must start asking for quality and paying for it, as they are who create the market in the first place.
Your car may be complex, but it has relatively few ways for the user to interact with, and is likely always used in the same environment, and fundamentally the same to most every other car on the road. It's been done. Lots.
This goes doubly for your TV and even more for your toaster.
Are you saying software bugs needn't exist because mechanical and electrical engineering can be done so well? That's asinine.
And last I checked, most cars can still crash.
And last I checked, most cars can still crash.
Like software, blame the device driver... only with cars it usually is the driver.

This is the tip of the iceburg. At least software engineers don't burn people's houses down and kill people with a bug then deny it's their fault.
I got news for you: nobody's perfect.
If your starter goes out a week after buying a new car, there's no safety issue but you're not likely to buy that brand of car again. Any auto manufacturer with shoddy manufacturing and design won't be in business long, unlike software.
You should become an engineer. You sound like you would be a perfect candidate for the job with your quality conscious attitude.
I have to applaud your comparison to the car or even the airline sector. If any of those sectors had the same failure rate as the software sector, we would be walking with about 50% less population and an accepted death rate much higher then we do now.

I agree with you, except for this:
The day we all say no to gas price hikes by banding together and stop buying gas for a full week, like the email sells you to do....then we will see gas prices drop like a hot potato.
Gasoline prices are artificially influenced by the prices of gasoline futures. A little earlier this year gas prices started dropping slightly because of oversupply and decreased demand, then promptly jumped $.25 per gallon in less than a week because it looked like the recession may be ending
Do not confuse the gas prices being the way they are because of what have done compared to what the gas prices are because of what the economy is and what the gas companies think we can afford.

> Don't talk to me about the "complexity" of writing software, you think you car is simple?
Security hardware/software has to constantly deal with new attacks. Your car doesn't have to deal with anything that hasn't existed for ah hundred years already, and yet a street thug can still be walking away with your radio in under two minutes. (Or driving away the whole car, given slightly more time).

Yes, there are recalls, but I've never had a car I've owned recalled and I doubt many people have had more than one recall in their life. I wasn't just talking about security software and security vulns, but software and bugs in general.
Computer programming has been around since 1843 [wikipedia.org], the gasoline powered automobile [wikipedia.org] wasn't invented until 1806, less than fifty years earlier.
Having a defect in a device I've bought has been extremely rare, buying anything from toasters to TV sets to video cards that just don't work is unheard of. Don't talk to me about the "complexity" of writing software, you think you car is simple?
I guess you've never heard of factory recalls?

Yes, there are product recalls, but they are relatively rare. I've never had a product I owned recalled, but except for games I don't think I've ever bought a piece of software that didn't get at least one bug patch.
Yes, airplanes crash, but that's rare too.
Why sell a product if you're not ready to make it work? I'm looking at you, Symantec! When Endpoint Protection first rolled out it was so buggy it couldn't do anything right. It's as though nobody bothered to do any testing at all. And those guys had the nerve to collect money for it.
No, but there is a certain level of irony (or at least amusing superposition) when a security product has security vulnerabilities...after all, getting your company hacked because you put in security controls isn't the way one anticipates these things happening. To use a car analogy, it's as if belting your seatbelt led to *more* people dying.
New devices and software may have bugs which affect performance. Patches may be required for correct performance when exposed to unexpected conditions.
I read the article.
Nowhere does it mention that these are new products. Only that they're newly used within any given company.
It also mentions that patching to fix problems is a problem in itself, with 20% of products failing to accept patches properly.
I think we're all missing something in the article summary:
when ***FIRST TESTED***
Read the rest of that sentence, too. "Two or more cycles of testing before achieving certification". That means that it hasn't been released yet.
When was the last time you coded something and it not only compiled the first time out, but worked perfectly? Was it entitled "Hello World"?
Sorry, but this article is not news.
Verizon is just trying to proof the relevancy of their so-called 'security' tests. They do not really perform any security test at all. Please, stop posting these marketing messages. And puleaszze, stop this semi-bullshit measures such as 44%, 78%
This all sounds like security certification speak.
Among the recommendations from the article: "Use certified products. While certification can never eliminate risk, it substantially reduces risk by ensuring that products meet objective, publicly vetted criteria."
This shouldn't be on Slashdot. We all know that the best software tools are FOSS, subject to the most rigourous testing and peer review. "Certified Products" are a black box with a "Trust us" next to a logo for a "Limited Liability Coproration."
The article should be lumped in with the Gartner reports and marketing materials.
Yes and NT4 got EAL rating with a bunch of qualifications.
A whole industry of 'certifiers' has sprung up to make money off clients who can then paint gold stars on their products - just like wine or cigars.
Everyone is missing the point: The vendor is proactive and up to it - or they drag the chain about timely patches. If they are 'one monthers' On this score, BSD beats MS.
I've been involved in certifying a firewall to meet ICSA requirements. Let me say that it can only be a good thing to take into account what certifications the product has before using it. This includes FOSS and commercial.
While it's nice that you can review the source of FOSS tools, that gives you no guarantee that the tools are configured appropriately and securely. If you are in an organisation that requires a verifiable degree of security (or as management sees it: level of risk) then using certified
FOSS tools are disadvantaged when it comes to certification because certification is expensive, time consuming and resists changes in the project. On the other hand, for-profit vendors are disadvantaged when it comes to security because scrutiny is limited and the motive changes from quality to profitability.
This highlights a point you may very well know already, but allow me to restate it:
People (at least people who program computers) haven't really figured out how to write secure code.
Well, what do I mean by secure code? Code that is 100% secure against a particular well-specified threat, or several of these. I.e. "only users logged in as root on the local console can [...]; users accessing the database through the web interface can't [...].", or "no TCP flow will cause the $OS network stack to crash", or [etc.].
This article is merely the observation that even when people write code that has a security function, they can't magically do better than everybody else.
Also, I'd like to advocate the viewpoint that security is a system property. You can't apt-get install security. Putting a firewall in front of a flaky app (especially a flaky proprietary app) is not going to work well: if you need code to detect whether a packet is evil or not, why don't you put that code in the application, so you don't have three competing vendors waste time trying to be the best flaky-packet-handler for $APP?
Oh well, I guess you can ship sooner. Also, if the original developers of $APP can't get the don't-be-flaky right, we might need something to stand in front.
(I hope this is more coherent than my feeling of well-being would suggest I'm able to make it)
It isn't just the knowing, there is also the bothering. For instance, buffer overflows and SQL injection are some of the most commonly exploited flaws in programs, and the prevention of both is well understood.
The most common source of security problems is poor user interfaces. These can't easily be fixed by third-party products. A ludicrous password policy, for example, which makes people write their passwords on post-it notes because they can't remember them, is a good example. ActiveX allowing untrusted code to run with full privileges with a single button press was another example. UAC and SELinux also suffer from this; the UI is so bad that people often just disable them.
The other cause of security pro
A ludicrous password policy, for example, which makes people write their passwords on post-it notes because they can't remember them, is a good example
If your office door has a physical lock on it, a postit note isn't insecure. My office has no door so I keep passwords written down, in my wallet, disguised as something else. At home it's a list of sites and passwords written down and laying on the computer desk.
I'd like to know why there's the "change your password monthy" rule? It seems to me that a rule l
If your office door has a physical lock on it, a postit note isn't insecure
And the cleaner, being paid minimum wage, won't be tempted to make a couple of years' salary selling the password to an unscrupulous competitor? Depends on your market and how well you vet your staff...
I'd like to know why there's the "change your password monthy" rule?
Cargo cultism. This one actually used to make sense, but was copied by people who didn't understand it. Passwords are stored encrypted. To reduce CPU load, they used to use very simple hashing / encryption algorithms. A month was about as long as you could guarantee that a copied password file would rema
Close but no cigar. You change passwords periodically in order to limit damage. If your password is discovered by someone, then they can only exploit it until the next password change. Guess what...if you keep the same password forever, it can be exploited forever.
Yes, there are many circumstances in which the damage from a compromised password happens immediately after the compromise. But there are times when the damage is ongoing; consider a rival company monitoring the progress of a new product via email
Change "most security" to "most products" fail to perform.
Software is generally poorly written, is not held to any product standards, comes with "NO WARRANTY", "NO FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE" and contains "KNOWN DEFECTS".
It's like a new car coming with two flat tires, and you happily paying for it.
It's time we hold software to some decent standards.
You cannot buy security and you cannot buy love.
Yeah, I am a bitter vet, and I am so damn happy I got out of that shit world called 'security'.
People were just too dumb, they always wanted to buy products to "make them safe", while they almost never wanted to invest into training, procedures, policies, etc.
Guess they're happy now.
So, a certification vendor says certification is necessary, based on statistics produced in-house. Subtext: security product vendors need to buy the services of the certification vendor. It might be true, or it might be bias. Hardly news.
The customer for 'Security Products' is some buyer typically disconnected from the nuts-and-bolts of security!
A bunch of mid-to-upper level people sit in a room and talk about 'security.' They don't understand it, but the like/need the idea of it so they can come off as believable to their customer. Better still the clicky-pointy-GUI and report generation features *really* feed the TPS beast. They talk past each other and pass reports around. Perception! Perception! Perception!
The finance industry is th
If the testing process didn't find any problems and passed a product on the firsat attempt, I'd be more suspicious of the tests than of the product - not that I'd buy the product, either.
Every security product "fails." It is impossible to prevent all threats. The point of security is to reduce the risk of compromise. There will always be some risk.
If an antivirus product stops now viruses at all, then it's a failure. If it lets some through but stops others, then it is actually a success because it reduces risk.
... we should point the finger at the criminals that write viruses and otherwise break computers.
They write viruses to "get around" current virus protection. Now if you have a tool that works, and a criminal circumvents it, how does that make the tool faulty? It wasn't faulty when it was written, what makes it faulty now?
Are the software engineers supposed to be able to predict the future? What constitutes a tool that works?
Why don't we hold police responsible for not predicting murders and fireman fires?
As some folks know, a lot of physical security products don't really work, either; they give us a false feeling of safety when in fact there is little or no actual benefit. We've got half of America's cities lit up like Christmas trees at night now, burning who knows how many tons of coal every year to do it, but have all those street lights and backyard security lights really made us safer? Some people got a whole lot richer in that process, though.
Another even more striking example close to home: my city
Mod me down, but seriously, SSL, DNSSEC, and so many things for "security" are just junkware, introducing their own bugs and problems while making things excessively bloaty. Noticed how many vulnerabilities there have been in SSL alone lately? It's scary and this really needs to be rethought.
Security is a practice, not a product.
"Wish not to seem, but to be, the best." -- Aeschylus

Outer space, a place of enormous distances: for more than 30 years, unmanned spacecraft have journeyed to learn more about the depths of space, its planets and the nature of interplanetary space. Now, billions of kilometres from Earth, space probes are entering areas never before explored by humankind.
At present, four of these space probes, objects created by human endeavours, are the furthest items from Earth ever constructed by mankind. The American probes Pioneer 10 and 11 as well as Voyager 1 and 2 have now passed beyond the orbital path of the last planet in our Solar System and are still travelling ever further from it.
The US space probe Pioneer 10, destination Jupiter, took off from Cape Canaveral on 3 March 1973 on board an Atlas-Centaur launch vehicle. On its way to Jupiter, it also examined the asteroid belt and interplanetary space. As planned, it flew past Jupiter and continued sending data to Earth until January 2003. A service life of 21 months was originally planned – and almost 30 years were achieved.
Unmanned spacecraft journey on into interstellar space
Pioneer 11 is the sister probe of Pioneer 10 and was launched on 6 April 1973. The objective for this probe, weighing just 259 kilograms, was to conduct research as it flew past Jupiter and Saturn. Like Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 arrived at the planets so quickly that slowing it down would have required more fuel than either space probe could possibly have launched with in the first place. Their respective launch vehicles accelerated these two probes to such high speeds that, even today, with no additional propulsion, they continue to fly out beyond the Solar System.
The Voyager probes constituted a newer generation of space probe, and they were launched in 1977 on board Titan rockets - Voyager 2 on 20 August 1977, taking to the skies 16 days before Voyager 1. Having said that, Voyager 1 blasted off on a shorter flight path to Jupiter, enabling it to overtake Voyager 2 and to become the first of the pair to fly past Jupiter. After Jupiter, Voyager 1 flew on to Saturn, while the orbit chosen for Voyager 2 took it past Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This made it possible for the first ever close-up photographs of the two outermost planets in the Solar System to be taken.
At the present time, the distance between Voyager 1 and the Sun measures about 111 astronomical units. One astronomical unit (AU) equates to the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, which measures 149.6 million kilometres. Voyager 2 is now at a distance of 90 AU from Earth, Pioneer 10 is at a distance of 99 AUs and Pioneer 11 is at a distance of 79 AUs. (See also the Astronomy Question from week 37: How far is 'unimaginably far'?) The probes are moving away at speeds of between 11.4 and 17.1 kilometres per second. This means that, each year, they are covering between 2.5 and 3.5 times the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Good Riddance
The following is a cut-and-paste straight off the Giant's website:
"Kent topped 100 RBIs eight times and hit 20 or more homers in 12 seasons -- and went 6-for-6 in both categories as a Giant. Besides winning MVP, he finished among the top 10 in MVP voting in three other years with San Francisco, represented the club in three of his five All-Star Game appearances and collected three of his four Silver Sluggers as a Giant. His career-high 128 RBIs in 1998 broke Rogers Hornsby's 71-year-old franchise record for second basemen.
"Kent contributed heavily to one of the most successful stretches in team history. The Giants averaged 91 victories per season during his tenure with them. They reached the postseason three times, not counting a loss at Chicago in the 1998 Wild Card playoff. The Giants' only comparable period since they moved to San Francisco in 1958 was 1962-67, when they averaged 93 wins per year but captured just one pennant."

The Kent trade (i.e., the Matt Williams Trade) was brilliant, one of the highlights of The Sabean Era. We shoulda won the whole damn thing in aught-two as we all know. I would give a lot more of a shit about the careers and post-careers of guys like Kent, Snow, Aurilia, Schmidt, etc. etc. if we had come away with that fookin' ring. Alas.
Kent was a great player, but the 2000 MVP shoulda been Barry's. The G-POPE made everyone around him better--that, to me, is the definition of "valuable."

He had an OPS of .436 in 2008 against righties, with one homer in 136 at-bats. That was a lower OPS than that of hitting immortals Tim Lincecum, Aaron Cook and Matt Cain."

October is for showering love on pumpkins. I'm doing my share.
There's been pumpkin doughnut muffins, pumpkin cheesecake truffles, chocolate pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin rice pudding and now pumpkin peanut butter chocolate chip bread.
I don't know why pumpkin and peanut butter are such a rare pair. While they seem odd together the truth is they make a delicious match. So downright dreamy I swear they were meant for each other.
Every bite of this delectable bread comes packed with sweetened pumpkin and peanut butter punctuated by subtle hits of chocolate. Perfectly moist, dense and terribly addicting.
Once the news get out we'll be seeing pumpkin and peanut butter creations everywhere. A win-win for pumpkin lovers everywhere.
You're very welcome.
A perfectly moist and delicious bread with pumpkin, peanut butter and chocolate in every bite!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 standard sized loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Add the chocolate chips and toss to coat them with the flour.
- In a separate bowl whisk the pumpkin, eggs, oil, water, peanut butter and applesauce together. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Divide the batter evenly among the two pans. Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool on wire racks 10-15 minutes then turn out from pans and cool completely on the wire racks. Store tightly wrapped in a cool, dry place up to 5 days.

To steal Tannys line "it's a process".
Nothing wrong with interviewing XX number of guys and getting various info/viewpoints before making a decision.
This guy's dad was on Herm's staff.
I think he kind of sucked.
Anyone know anything about Raye?
Jimmy Raye? I'm not a fan but who knows.
After reading about Raye, I have to say that I like him. Of course I remember his father here with the Jets as a coach, but I didn't realize Raye had that much history.
He'd be the GM of the Chargers right now but they had the same dumbass opinion as a lot of fans here that you MUST NOT hire from within.
AJ Smith and Raye have made good personel decisions over the last many years. Smith's only retarded decision was the coach he chose to hire. Who knows what Raye thought of Norv.
I will say this about this search, it doesn't appear to be focused on a person who knows Rex or one person, i.e. Gamble, Cohen. Looks like the Kory folks are earning their money
The Chargers really haven't drafted all that well since Buddy Nix left.

After another stellar performance from Gareth Bale on Thursday night, it wasn't surprising to see the inevitable speculation surrounding the winger's future emerge in this mornings' papers.
The Welsh wing wizard has been the subject of intense transfer speculation for the last few windows, with Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid thought to be at the head of the queue should Bale decide he wants to leave White Hart Lane. Whilst these two clubs are steeped in history, tradition and above all success, would this be the best move for Bale?
There are definitely a number of reasons as to why Bale should stay in the Premier League with Spurs, but they do hinge on the north London club's quest for Champions League football?
Currently Spurs are 4th in the Premier League table, just a point behind Chelsea and four ahead of arch rivals Arsenal. Last season they were extremely unlucky to miss out on Champions League football thanks to Chelsea's victory in the competition, and this season it is clear that under new man Andre Villas-Boas, they are playing to one purpose.
Everyone involved with the club knows how important Champions League football is for Tottenham, not least because it could be the trump card in keeping Bale. A player of his magnitude deserves to be playing right at the top of world football. He will almost certainly never grace a World Cup so he needs to spend as many seasons as possible playing in the Champions League, producing performance after performance.
If Bale moves abroad he will competing with other world class players and it's highly unlikely that he would be played as much or be considered as important as he is at Spurs. At Tottenham, Bale is the centre of attention, at the moment he is Tottenham Hotspur, he his scoring goals galore in all manners possible whereas at Barcelona he will not be as important as Lionel Messi and at Real Madrid he will not be as important as Cristiano Ronaldo.
For many, Spurs are nearly there in terms of becoming a top, top team. The structure is good, the ground is decent with potential to expand, the finances are sound and above all the team is strong.
Losing Luka Modric was a huge blow but attracting players of high calibre is still possible if they keep stars like Bale and bring Champions League football back to the Lane. If Bale wants he could easily stay and spearhead Spurs' assault on the established elite. At White Hart Lane he is number one and this is happening in arguably the toughest league in the world.
On the other hand, surely playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona can be considered the pinnacle of a player's career? Especially with such an all-star cast currently playing for the two teams you can't begrudge any player to want to play for either of these sides.
Barcelona are arguably the greatest club side in the world at the moment whilst Real Madrid, even without Jose Mourinho, will always have an indescribable lure for every player. Bale has never fully dismissed a move abroad and perhaps making that transition to La Liga could help him fulfil his potential as a player.
It is hard to deny the elevation of players such as Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez or Angel Di Maria since moving to Spain and that's without mentioning the transformation of the man Bale is currently being compared to - Cristiano Ronaldo. Even his old mentor Sir Alex Ferguson has said recently he had no idea how good Ronaldo would become when he sold him to Madrid, and perhaps Bale could follow in the Portuguese footsteps? Regardless of Bale's next port of call, the club he chooses will undoubtedly play a high tempo and the training facilities that Barca and Real provide will enable him to hone his skills and advance his career.
Personally, I think Bale should stay in the Premier League although I'm uncertain as to whether he should stay with Tottenham. If he is to leave White Hart Lane the only club I think that would really benefit Bale would be Manchester United.
Under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, with the United boss keen on width, Bale could really flourish. I'm sure Ryan Giggs would have much to offer and perhaps that could be enough to lure the ex-Southampton man?
For now, I think he should stay at Spurs and continue his development there. If Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League Bale should seek a move as soon as possible but as long as the top four is secured the Welshman should be happy in north London - for the time being at least.

text: The War on Kids is a documentary on Public Education in America. While several documentaries on schools have come out since The War on Kids, these films tend to be either propaganda for charter schools or look at symptoms without any appreciation or understanding of underlying issues. To be a great documentary, it is essential to do the necessary work and dig deeper to uncover the heart of the problems observed. The numerous failures and pathologies associated with school are predominantly due to it autocratic structure. Because no one wants to voluntarily relinquish power, this fundamental problem is never addressed or even recognized.

Photo: The team upon arrival at the airport in
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It is 1,591 miles from Cookeville to Santiago in the Dominican Republic. Or 2,561 kilometers. Or 1,383 nautical miles.
Any way you measure the distance, the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team was a long way from home last week during its tour to the Dominican Republic. Coach Mike Sutton's team returned to campus Thursday, just in time for the start of the Fall semester on Monday. He says the experience will benefit his squad this season.
"Everybody is back safe-and-sound and healthy," Sutton said. "It was a wonderful opportunity. We got a chance to see all our kids perform in game situations. The competition level differed from top-flight professional programs to lesser ones, but every game was a challenge. They are very enthusiastic about their basketball in the Dominican Republic."
The trip was sponsored by G.O. Ministries, a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to the ministry of short-term missions, with the goal of preparing participants to support the efforts of Christian leaders abroad.
"We are all so grateful to the entire G.O. Ministries staff for their support and work on the tour," Sutton said. "I think our team truly realizes how blessed they are and how much they appreciate what we have here in the United States and I am so proud of the way they represented the University, the Tech basketball program, Cookeville and themselves in the DR."
Tech arrived on Friday and faced four games during a 30-hour
span on Friday and Saturday.
"It presented a lot of challenges, but it was a great experience for our kids," Sutton said. "We got in a lot of basketball."
Overall, Tech went 5-2 on the trip and Sutton was able to see how well his newcomers will mesh with the returnees. The 2010-11 Golden Eagle roster will include six new faces.
"I was really pleased with how we responded," Sutton
Two players who were on the squad last season but sitting out as redshirts, Zac Swansey and Chase Dunn saw their first action.
"Those are two new players who really aren't new," Sutton said. "It was really good to see them in game situations. Chase was really good in the nightcap of the second day. He scored about 25 points in that game."
Sutton liked what he saw from his other newcomers. That included sophomore Matt Marseille, a transfer from Centenary, freshman Javon McKay from Dunwoody (Ga.) High School, 7-foot junior Liam McMorrow, a transfer from Marquette who has sat out the past two seasons, and freshman Dennis Ogbe from Germany.
"We got to see our two international students and I was pleased with both of them," Sutton said. "Not only is Liam a little rusty, but this was only his 25th game of organized basketball. Dennis has a lot of experience and he was really impressive as well."
Those six new ingredients mixed well with the returnees, according to the veteran coach.
"Jud Dillard and Terrell Barnes played well. I thought Jud may have been our best overall player on the trip. Zach Bailey picked us up and carried us in one game to help us win.
"Kevin (Murphy), Bassey (Inameti), Byron (Pickens), Alfred (Jones). Everybody got lots of opportunities to play. Mitchell (Hill), Riley (Hunley), Newt (Charles Newton). They all came in and played well," Sutton said.
"That was one of the advantages of playing so many games in a short period of time. We had to use lot of guys and it really gave us a great opportunity," Sutton said.
Back on familiar ground on Tech's campus, classes begin
Monday so the Golden Eagles will get back into the schedule
that's regulated by NCAA rules, according to Sutton.
"We're limited on the number of players we can have in the gym and in the weight room, so until we can begin practice on October 15, our guys will need to build on the experiences they had on the trip," Sutton said. "They'll get back with coach (Chip) Pugh and his staff and hit the weight room, and just work to build on the success they had on the tour."

O'Reilly Book Excerpts: Java Security, 2nd Edition
Java Application Security
Related Reading
This excerpt is Chapter 1 from Java Security, 2nd Edition, published in May 2000 by O'Reilly.
When Java was first released by Sun Microsystems, it attracted the attention of programmers throughout the world. These developers were attracted to Java for different reasons: some were drawn to Java because of its cross-platform capabilities, some because of its ease of programming (especially compared to object-oriented languages like C++), some because of its robustness and memory management, some because of Java's security, and some for still other reasons.
Just as different developers came to Java with different expectations, so too did they bring different expectations as to what was meant by the ubiquitous phrase "Java is secure." Security means different things to different people, and many developers who had certain expectations about the word "security" were surprised to find that their expectations were not necessarily shared by the designers of Java.
This book discusses the features of Java that make it secure. In this book, we'll discuss why Java is said to be secure, what that security means (and doesn't mean), and--most importantly--how to use the security features of the Java platform within your own programs. This last point is actually the focus of this book: while some of Java's security features are automatically a part of all Java programs, many of them are not. In this book, we'll learn about all those features and how to utilize them in our own Java applications.

By Tiernan Ray
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of enterprise server acceleration technology vendor Fusion-io (FIO) are down $4.17, or 23%, at $13.83, after the company this morning said chief executive officer David Flynn resigned "to pursue entrepreneurial investing activities," with former Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) chief strategy officer Shane Robison taking over for Flynn. FIO's lead independent director, Scott Sandell said that Robison was a "proven executive with the experience and expertise to lead Fusion-io as we enter our next phase of growth and development." Co-Founder Rick White is also leaving the company to join Flynn in investing activities.
Analyst Abhey Lamba with Mizuho Securities USA this morning reiterates a Buy rating and a $22 price target, writing that "near-term upside to estimates and the company's potential for being bought could offer support to the stock price."
However, the stock has already gotten one downgrade, with Craig-Hallum's Rajesh Ghai cutting his rating from Buy to Hold, writing " David Flynn and Rick White, have been such an integral part of the company's DNA and the face of the company to employees, customers and partners, we fear near-term disruption at FIO with potential impact on the company's solid fundamentals and impressive growth trajectory."
Shares of consulting and services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) are $2.55, or almost 4%, at $67.43, after the company this morning reported Q1 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' estimates, and projected this quarter's results and the year higher as well.
Cognizant reported $2.02 billion and $1.02 per share for the March quarter, better than the $2.01 billion and 93 cents expected.
Shares of AOL (AOL) are down $192, or 4.6%, at $39.50 in early trading after the company reported Q1 revenue of $538 million and 22 cents EPS, versus the consensus estimate for $537 million and 35 cents.
Victor Anthony of Topeka Capital Markets this morning writes that the revenue number missed his $541 million estimate, and notes the miss was the $160.9 million at the "AOL Networks" unit, which sells third-party Web site inventory through the Advertising.com operation.
"It appears that AOL sold more of its owned inventory and there was a shift in revenues from Networks to Brands," he writes "OIBDA loss of $2.5mm, missed our $1.8mm profit estimate and the consensus of $5mm due to investments in video and their SSP and DSP platforms."
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are up 17 cents, or 1%, at $14.99, after analysts with Macquarie Capital, who have a Neutral rating on the shares, nevertheless write that the stock is set up for a short squeeze, possibly to $17, based on overly negative sentiment about its Z10 handset, and based on possible upside for the Q10 handset.
Shares of T-Mobile USA (TMUS) are up 39 cents, or 2.2%, at $18.30, after the carrier, which combines the former T-Mobile USA and the former MetroPCS, today said that the T-Mobile side delivered Q1 revenue of $4.68 billion, and adjusted Ebitda of $1.2 billion in the three months ended in March. T-Mobile said it saw 3,000 net additions of its "branded" customer base, and that churn, at 1.9% in its postpaid business, was the lowest since Q2 of 2008.
T-Mobile said it sold 500,000 of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5 since offering the device on April 12th for the first time ever.
Apple shares started the session in the red but then spiked higher and are now up $5.24, or 1%, to $463.89.
In case you missed it, AllThingsD's Kara Swisher late yesterday reported that Yahoo! (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer has met with executives at video rental site Hulu about the possibility of Yahoo! making a bid for the company, although no offer has yet been made on a formal basis, citing multiple unnamed sources.
Yahoo! shares are up 22 cents, or 0.9%, at $26.29, although the chatter this morning is not about Hulu but rather about Marissa Mayer's desire to extricate the company from its search agreement with Microsoft (MSFT), as reported in a story last night by Amir Efrati of The Wall Street Journal.
The stock also got a thumbs up this morning from Bernstein Research's Carlos Kirjner, who reiterates a Market Perform rating but raised his price target to $30 from $23, writing that he raised his estimates for Yahoo!'s stake in Alibaba Group Holding to $13.17 per Yahoo! share, and raised his estimate for the Yahoo! Japan stake to $5.66 per Yahoo! share. That follows yesterday's 10-Q filing by Yahoo! in which it disclosed additional information about Alibaba's financial performance.

With its mixed messages, dueling "big themes" and conflicted characters, Towelhead, Alan Ball's film of Alicia Erian's novel, can seem as bewildering as adolescence itself. Racing hormones and raging racism, bad parenting by adults and worse decision making by the kids, all set against the first Gulf War -- it's almost too much for one movie to absorb and give shape to.
But it is still the most deeply disturbing, downright discomfiting movie about teen sexuality since thirteen.
Summer Bashil plays Jasira, the center of the story, with a beguiling innocence that gives way to Lolita-empowered allure. Jasira is 13, a Lebanese-American as uncomfortable with her place in the world as she is her newly discovered sexuality.
Given her first bikini "shave" by mom's too-helpful boyfriend, she is packed off to live with her NASA engineer dad in Houston. But both Mom ( Maria Bello, terrific) and Dad (Peter Macdissi, even better) are utterly removed from their daughter's reality. They haven't grown up as quickly as she has. They dismiss her or ignore her. And with no one to confide in, with every adult in her life, from school to family to neighbors, either heartlessly selfish or simply tactless, Jasira is jail-bait for some seemingly sympathetic male to come along and boost her self-esteem with a little underage sex.
Aaron Eckhart, back in touch with his dark side, is Mr. Vuoso, the racist Army Reservist next door. He ogles Jasira, gets her to babysit his bigoted son, who calls her "Towelhead" and worse. And when Vuoso catches her poring over his girlie magazines, he sees his chance.
At school, James, who is black, is the only boy to apologize for his racist teasing of the Middle Easterner. That apology becomes his pick-up line.
Dad's a narcissistic bully and a snob who, like her absent mom, blames Jasira "for everything." He is utterly unprepared for the biological challenges of raising a teenage girl and is hardly the guy to run to when Jasira's bad choices accelerate her dash to "bad girl."
Toni Collette shows up as that magical port in a storm, a very pregnant neighbor who picks up Jasira's hormonal distress signals, identifies the neighborhood creep, the self-centered and tuned-out dad and the boyfriend who has no business putting the moves on a 13-year-old, and throws Jasira a lifeline. Will she grab it?
Ball, who won an Oscar for writing the similarly themed American Beauty, sets several indiscretions in motion and ably guides us toward that moment when everything collides -- Jasira's dad's racism, his violent efforts to control his daughter, the daughter's inappropriate sexual behavior, the creepy neighbor's secret. But I can't say Ball wholly succeeds in walking that fine line between explanation/exploration and titillation. Towelhead's graphic sexuality teeters between clinically gynecological and child porn. And he doesn't give Bashil moments to show Jasira's learning curve, a sense that she's no longer being swept along by events but is taking control of them.
We've turned the phrase into a joke, but if there's one thing Towelhead reinforces more than any other message, it's that "it takes a village" to raise a child. And when that child is a teenager, it takes nosy, concerned neighbors and that reassuring threat, "I'm watching you," to save a kid from a culture so overripe with sex and sexual images that it's no wonder so many go so wrong, and that so many infantile, self-absorbed adults help them make that trip.

Each week, Robin Torres contributes Azeroth Interrupted, a column about balancing real life with WoW.
WoW players do have girlfriends (and boyfriends and spouses), contrary to the taunts heard in The Trade Channel and Barrens Chat. Many Players even play WoW with their Significant Others, but often, players have trouble getting their significant others to join them in their hobby/addiction. In general, the problem lies with the girlfriend or wife not being a gamer. Following are some tips for getting your lady to play WoW.
First of all, have you tried the sincere, straightforward approach? Just throwing out "Well, if you played WoW with me, you'd understand." here and there is not the same thing. Neither are hints or endless stories of how much fun you're having. Try saying something like "I would have more fun playing WoW if you joined me and I think it would be a great way for us to spend more time together. It would really mean a lot to me. Would you please give it a try?" If this doesn't work, it is time to analyze and tackle her objections.
"It's just a stupid game." Take a deep breath -- don't let it hurt you. She probably isn't a gamer and sees computers as tools, not sources of fun. Easing her into games is a very good approach to counteract a lack of interest. Be patient, this could take several weeks. Start her off with a simple and addictive solitaire game like Bejeweled. Once she catches the bug, and this is a double edged sword, move her onto something more complicated that has a wide female fanbase, like Sims 2. This will introduce her to the fun of character creation and a minimum amount of roleplaying. Once she grows tired of this, she may be ready to try WoW, but if she still resists, introduce her to your favorite single player roleplaying game. It can be an old one. The quality of the graphics is not as important as the gameplay (which is arguably always the case), and your passion for the game as well as your interest in how she is progressing will be flattering and encouraging.
Each week, Robin Torres contributes Azeroth Interrupted, a column about balancing real life with WoW.
"It's too expensive." Playing WoW together regularly is actually a pretty cheap date if you compare it to going out to dinner or to the movies, but this is not something you want to use to sell playing WoW. She is probably not going to want to give up those activities for a video game -- at least not right away. The best thing to do is to offer to shoulder the startup costs and the monthly fee. You could ask for another copy of WoW as a gift for you. Do not make WoW a gift for her, just as you wouldn't give her any other toy or gadget you want for yourself instead.
"I don't want to spend that much time at the computer." As reader GrumblyStuff suggested, a laptop is a great solution for this, if you have the resources. If you are living together, you can also setup a nice comfy area where you are able to be very together and watch tv.
"I want to spend time doing REAL things with you." (Again, deep breath.) Explain that the increased time you will be spending together will be real. Be careful here, though. Don't overbook yourself. If you have guild obligations, make sure that she is aware that not all of your WoW time will be spent with her.
"Why should I try WoW when you won't even <enter unpleasant activity here>?" Compromise. You don't have to like the theater or yard sales or scrapbooking, but just trying it once may be the best way to convince her to try your hobby.
Of course, there will be other objections that I have not listed here. Listen to them and respect her opinions, but try to address them all. Have her use a 10 day trial with no obligation to continue if she doesn't like it. Once you are successful in getting her to try it, however, don't relax. The hard part is just beginning. Good salespeople know that anyone can sell something once to a customer, but keeping a customer is the real challenge.
Be prepared. Set aside some time away from your other in-game obligations during the trial period so that you can devote all of your efforts to getting her hooked. Also, prepare yourself for any possible troublesome in-game personas.
Be patient. You may have noticed that, in other areas of your relationship, she is very much into the journey as well as the, uh, final outcome. This actually works to your advantage considering WoW has no ending. Yes, you've done the newbie quests a jillion times, but let her read them anyway. Let her explore the game at her own pace. Don't power level her. Instead, create a newbie to play along with her so that you have to complete the quests, too, and she is less likely to feel rushed.
Make her feel pretty. One of a guy's main roles in the relationship is to make his woman feel pretty and you should use WoW to help you do it. (I know I'm going to get flamed for this generalization, but I stand by it.) If you associate WoW with making her feel pretty, I think you will be happy with the results. But be careful, don't tell her that her Blood Elf rogue is hot or that you like how her Night Elf looks in her loincloth. You're trying to make her feel pretty, not be jealous of her character's pixel placement. Tell her the face she lingers on in the human character creation reminds you of her, or how you like it when she wears her hair like her troll. The more sincere you are, the more successful you will be. Also, you may want to keep her from playing a female Tauren during the trial period. As much fun as she may find in playing a Horde Druid, it will probably take her a while to relate to being a cow. Love may be blind, but she would still prefer to be pretty over just having a nice personality.
Let her be herself. She may have a very different play-style from yours. Encourage it. You may find that the two of you will be playing at the same time, but not actually together. Or she may turn out to be the hardcore healer your guild needs. Forcing her to conform to your play-style will only sour her experience and make her less likely to play.
If after the trial period, she still doesn't want to join you in your WoW habit, she will still probably be more understanding about your play time. And your efforts in sharing your hobby with her may mean the difference between quality togetherness or going solo.

European Commission - Press release
'Generation 1992': European Commission reaches out to young people with a creativity competition on the single market
Brussels, 11 April 2012 - Having grown up in a world where the free movement of people, goods, services and capital between the 27 countries of the European Union has always been a fact of life, young adults born in 1992 are in a unique position of being able to offer a fresh perspective on the European single market.
For this reason, the European Commission is targeting this 'Generation 1992' with a creativity competition aimed at tapping into the views, experiences, insights and expectations of what the single market means to young Europeans today. The competition, which is being launched today, is open to all European citizens born between 1 January and 31 December 1992. Entrants can submit an original essay, video, photograph, cartoon or smart phone application and can chose to focus on one of four categories: education and citizenship; jobs and entrepreneurship; culture and leisure and consumers and environment.
Michel Barnier, Commissioner for internal market and services, said: "In 1992, we had great hopes for the single market. Looking back, it has indeed helped citizens work anywhere they want, made trade easier and brought more jobs. However, 20 years on there is a feeling that progress towards a true single market has stalled. We need to relaunch the single market in order to give young adults born in 1992 renewed hope and greater opportunities. And we need this future generation to contribute to the development of our internal market policies for the next 20 years."
The competition is one of a number of events organised across the EU to mark the 20th anniversary of the European single market. The activities, which will culminate in the Single Market Week for New Growth from 15 to 20 October 2012, will focus in particular on recalling the achievements of the single market and highlighting the new initiatives aimed at stimulating growth. The Single Market Week will be organised in conjunction with the SME week and will conclude with a national forum in Cyprus (holding the Council presidency) on 20 October. During this week, a number of national events in several different Member States will bring together citizens, business, public organisations etc. to examine and discuss the state of the single market in a national context.
Entries for the competition are to be submitted online and the most outstanding ones will be posted on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Prizes – including tablets, smartphones, cameras, MP3 players and travel passes – will be awarded on an ongoing basis from April to September. In addition, 4-week internships in the European Institutions as well as in international companies will be offered to winners for each category of the competition. Twenty winners will be invited to take part in the Single Market Week in October, where they will present their winning entries at the award ceremony on 15 October.

There were sheafs tossed, kilts worn, bagpipes blown, a dancer on a drum and the small matter of a 120m footrace to mark yesterday's 152nd staging of Australia's longest running sporting event – the Maryborough Highland Gathering.
A big crowd was drawn to Princes Park for the annual New Year's Day event as the mercury mercifully only reached 30 degrees, much cooler than the scorching temperatures 12 months earlier.
The 2013 edition of the Highland Gathering was a day of contrasts.
There was the brute strength on show at the Highland Heavy Games, which were dominated by London Olympic discus thrower Scott Martin.
The Wodonga native took out the caber tossing with a near perfect toss, as well as the 22lb granite stone Braemer style, 26lb shot put and both 28lb and 56lb weight-for-distance throwing events.
Former Edinburghian-turned-Melburnian James Graeme struck a blow for the Scottish in their own games, though, drawing perhaps the biggest cheer of the day for his win in the Atlas Five Stones of Strength.
Nearby the heavy-lifters, the lithe athletes raced on foot, displaying power of a different kind.
Ballarat's Joel Bee was the star of the show, claiming his first win in the prestigious Maryborough Gift.
Over the hill, behind the stalls spruiking traditional Scottish ancestry tales, flags and maps, the Highland Dancers performed with finesse and style in front of crowds that huddled close under the little shade that could be found.
There was no escape from the blazing sun for the sheaf tossers, who spent hours in the middle of Princes Park using a pitchfork to hurl a bag of oats and hay over a pole vault-style bar.
World champion Sheridan Holland, from Murray Bridge in South Australia, proved too good for his opposition – as he had in all but one of his 17 previous visits to the Maryborough Gathering – winning with a 14.5m toss.
Brass bands from Maryborough, St Arnaud, Castlemaine, Daylesford and Bendigo kept the crowd entertained when the on-field action took a break.
The spectacle is more than enough to keep many punters coming back, but few – if any – would have seen more Highland Gatherings than life member Harold Hubble.
At 82, Maryborough's Hubble has attended all but one Gathering in his lifetime – with his first being in 1930 when he was just three weeks old, so his family tells him.
"1934 was the first I can remember... having a go on the merry-go-around," Hubble said.
"I've been to every one since about 25 years ago, when the family decided to go to the beach and we went to Torquay.
"The local radio station 3CV – as it was known back then – was broadcasting the gift, so I tuned in.
"I never missed one before and I haven't missed one since. I reckon as a family day it's hard to get a better day."
Maryborough Highland Society president Bruce Dellavedova said the event was a success, with spectators returning in big numbers after a low year in 2012.
"We're very happy with the crowd, it's twice as good as last year. It's warm again but nowhere near what it was last year," he said.
"Everyone gets behind it, it's great."

Writer Rick Edgerton talks #MHFBeanie Round, the harrowing statistics behind Brain Cancer - and what...
15 hours ago
Trevor Thurling has been named as part of a six man bench for the CFMEU Canberra for the Raiders Monday night match against the Newcastle Knights at Canberra Stadium, after only his first game back from a long term knee injury.
Thurling impressed coaching staff in last weekend's 26-18 win in the Premier League over the St George-Illawarra Dragons, and has been rewarded with a place in a 19 man Raiders squad.
Centre David Howell will miss Monday nights clash after pleading guilty to a grade one striking charge, and that sees Marshall Chalk move back into the Raiders starting line-up at centre.
Neville Costigan makes his return to the Raiders bench after serving his one match ban for a dangerous throw, while Terry Campese and Craig Frawley have been added to the bench as the Raiders medical staff monitors Ben Jones throughout the week after he injured his neck in Saturday night

Great initiative to start an ERP app using Yii Framework. It's will be easier for use to customize it if we want to use it. Because we already understand the concept of Yii.
- You should hire an UI designers if you want people use your web application. For example it's weird if you put a login menu in dropdown menu. There is a reason why Facebook & Twitter put login menu on the right top of page. Because people will try to looking on that place first for login menu before trying to see on other place. But why you hide it on dropdown menu. A bad UI will throw away your users before they actually use it.
- Don't use a "Faceebook bar" it's annoying actually. Most people hate it if your application doesn't have a realtime feature like chat. It's better using notification bar.
Anyway.. good job. Hope it will finish soon. So we have an ERP application based on Yii.

P.s.: there are buttons without any text at form dialogs
Posted 25 August 2011 - 01:44 AM
Posted 25 August 2011 - 08:58 AM
- I don't understand what the purpose of the textfield and 'Submit' button at the bar, when I click the button without fill anything in the textfield it redirect to absstatus view. But when I fill it with any text, it's going messy
- why don't beautify the url, it's still using index.php?r=...
- agree with tyohan n yiqing95, need UI designer to make it looks better
Great job

Florida businesses rally for holiday giving
Florida businesses and their employees continue to rally around local charities "even though their dollars are stretched more than ever before," said David Biemesderfer, president and chief executive officer of the Florida Philanthropic Network. The group expects donations in Florida to have risen slightly or remained flat after leveling off to about $1.26 billion in philanthropic giving in 2011. More at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

While no mention has been made of the Kinect-based driving we tried at E3 2010, the game will definitely include the Kinect-based car exploration mode, which allows the player to move around car models, read up on stats and statistics, and sit in the driver's seat. While Microsoft would likely tell you the experience let's you "step through the TV screen" it isn't quite that realistic. It is, however, quite enjoyable and does gain something through Kinect.
Top Gear will also lend content to the game, but it's looking like it will unfortunately be from History Channel's American version of the show featuring Tanner Foust, Rutledge Wood and Adam Ferrara. While content based on the superior UK show was featured as pack-in DLC for the Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Edition, it seems like Jeremy, James, Richard and The Stig might not be along on this drive.
Finally, Microsoft claims the game will be "the most expansive and vividly realistic automotive experience across any console, bringing you closer to the edge than you've ever been before," and "the engaging controller-based experience will let you take on the bone-jarring physics, unparalleled levels of customization, and rosters of dream cars and tracks."
Shacknews contacted Microsoft about the Kinect driving tech demo from E3 and to determine if the Top Gear content will be from exclusively from the US show, and was provided with the following two statements, which do not offer any real clarification.
We showcased a Kinect-enabled project from Turn 10 Studios at E3 2010, which let players explore and experience their dream cars like never before. That tech demo demonstrated some of the experiences possible with Kinect and Forza. "Forza Motorsport 4" brings together genre-defining, controller-based racing and the power and freedom of Kinect to create an automotive experience unlike anything before it.
Top Gear
Microsoft's acclaimed Turn 10 Studios and the BBC's world renowned "Top Gear" have entered a long term, multi-year collaboration which will integrate both companies' franchises at a product level and at a promotional level. Though we cannot share future details of the project just yet, suffice it to say we believe the collaboration is going to yield exciting content and experiences for auto enthusiasts and gamers alike.

So What's Wrong With That Thing Others Call 'The Cloud?'
"When you're computing is done on somebody else's server that takes away control, just like a non-free program would. But it happens in a different way. If you run a non-free program on your computer, you may have a copy of your own. You can't control what it does because you don't have the source code. But if you do that computing on somebody else's server, then that means that it's somebody else's copy and you also can't see it, or touch it, or change what it does, or investigate what it does. ... If you are a corporation, you deserve control over your computing, just the same as a real person does, or any government, or any other organization. But there's nothing to be gained by letting Corporation A's computing be controlled by Corporation B. Company A in this context is accepting a harmful practice, probably because they never thought of it this way."
