As a developer, it is sometimes necessary to have multiple JDKs installed on the same development machine in order to test the latest JDK 8, or to use a proprietary JDK like the IBM one.
But even if there are several installed, when you type
java, the first one "java" on the PATH will be used.
With Linux, a tool exists : Alternative. This one creates a symbolic link that points to the JAVA_HOME you specified. When you want to change of JDK, Alternative will change this link. If Alternative is very usefull for managing JDK on a server, it does not answer the need for a development station.
To fit these needs, one way is to manage manually the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables. To simplify the switching, there is some scripts that may help, like this one Alternative.
However, these scripts help the switch but does not automate it. You always have to type "setjdk" when you change of project.
When you look at the ruby worl, there is a very handy tool : rbenv.
This allows facilities to manage different versions of ruby and choose per project which is the version that you want to use.
And once you setup it, you only have to type
ruby, and rbenv will use the selected version automatically and transparently.
After some research, I have found no equivalent tool for Java and I took the initiative to create it : jenv
Get started
For now, the installation is manual. You simple clone the Github project into $HOME/.jenv directory.
Next, you have to activate it by inserting this commands into the shell init script ( .bash_profile, .zshrc)
1 2
One installed, you have to setup one or more JDK by using
jenv add command.
This one take one parameter : the path to a valid JAVA_HOME directory
1 2
jenv versions command, you can list the recognized JDKs.
1 2 3 4
The asterisk * denotes the JDK currently used. With no specific configuration it's the "system" JDK to be used, that means the first found on the PATH.
It is possible to change the default version with
jenv global <alias name>.
You can hit "TAB" after
jenv global to have autocompletion for the alias name.
jenv versions now show that the oracle64-188.8.131.52 will be used.
To configure a JDK per directory/project, you can use
jenv local <alias name>
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
To work, jenv store the java version to be used into the .java-version file in the directory.
If no .java-version file found, jenv will look into the parent directory, and so on.
If none is found, then jenv will switch to the default JDK ( setup by
jenv global )
Jenv also has plugins to use the correct version of java with other tools: * Maven * Ant * Gradle * Groovy * Scala * SBT * Play
In addition to JDK management, jenv can also configure JVM paremeters per project :
1 2
And they are also exported via the right environment variables to be used by Maven (MAVEN_OPTS) Gradle (GRADLE_OPTS) or Ant (ANT_OPTS).
Jenv is young, and will be improved
Jenv is very recent, and provides only simple functionalities that I needed for the moment. It is not yet complete, and has to be improved.
The project is on GitHub, so feel free to fork and contribute ideas (by pull requests or issues).

Elvira Makes Final Appearance at Comikaze Expo
Official Press Release
Comikaze Expo Presents Horror Icon Elvira's Farewell Convention Appearance
The Los Angeles Comic-Con and Premiere Horror, Pop Culture, Gaming and Anime Event
in Los Angeles To Host The Mistress of the Dark's Final Convention Appearance
Los Angeles, Calif., (October 2011) – Comikaze Expo, the largest multimedia pop culture, comic book, horror, anime and gaming convention in California, aka the Los Angeles Comic-Con, has announced it will host horror icon Elvira's last convention appearance in its premiere event taking place on November 5-6, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Comikaze Expo's official "Spooksperson," Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, will sign autographs, pose for photos with fans and take part in various events throughout the Expo.
Elvira became a household name with Elvira's Movie Macabre, the first nationally syndicated horror movie show. The weekly series featured the sexy, outrageous movie hostess' sharp wit and clever banter throughout her tongue-in-cheek commentary of B-movie classics. Her reign as 'Queen of Halloween' spans three decades and includes two feature films, her long-running series and two motion control rides. Her appearance at Comikaze Expo honors the event's commitment to horror fans and promises a memorable experience for all.
"It's about time all of my boob-tube fans who've never been lucky enough to say hi in person come out to meet me," said Elvira. "This will be everybody's last chance to see this busty, beehived broad in the flesh (and not much else!), so jump on that Red Line and head to the L.A. Convention Center, darling. As the hostess with the mostest, I'm gonna bring a little class to this event if it's the last thing I do. Oh yeah, it IS the last thing I'll do. Whatever."
"We are beyond thrilled and overwhelmed that Elvira is our official 'Spooksperson' and is making her final convention appearance right here in L.A., where it all started for her," says Comikaze Expo CEO Regina Carpinelli. "Since she burst onto the horror scene, she's been a pop culture pioneer, and is a gorgeous, brilliantly funny woman who never disappoints her fans. It's an incredible honor to have her be a part of Comikaze." Carpinelli is encouraging fans to dress like Elvira at Comikaze in honor of the star's final convention appearance.
Comikaze will kick off with an appearance by the father of modern comics, Stan Lee, at the event's ribbon-cutting ceremony. The first and only multimedia, cross-genre expo to hit Los Angeles, Comikaze Expo has created a pop culture extravaganza that brings together the best in comics, gaming, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, anime and all other cult programming. Its wide-ranging appeal has attracted celebrity appearances from icons and budding artists of this exciting world, including animators, comic book and anime artists, special effects teams, writers, actors, and filmmakers, among other creators, from both the mainstream and geek worlds.
This unparalleled event's wide range of innovative programming and activities provide fans access to their favorite artists and creators. From independent film screenings, live shows and star-studded panels to fan contests, games, portfolio reviews and a masquerade ball, there is something for everyone and more at Comikaze. Family-oriented events are scheduled for Sunday, November 6.
In an effort to make Comikaze accessible to everyone, tickets are only $12 each, and children under 12 are FREE, making this family event the largest convention of its kind in Los Angeles—at the best price. Each ticket holder will receive their choice of a celebrity lithograph photo valued at $79-$189.

Sparrows are interactive birds, attached to the first floor windowpanes of residential houses. They light up in a random mix of colours when someone whistles in the vicinity, adding a ludic dimension to the neighborhood, improving the neighborhood atmosphere through an interactive poetic layer. A Sparrow houses a range of sensors, including sound, light, movement and CO2, as well as a 3G enabled SIM card.
Sparrows are part of a city game ZWERM, which aims to improve neighborhood cohesion and ultimately neighborhood participation, through a network of urban, ludic interventions. Within the game, each Sparrow whistle adds points to the neighborhoods' score in which the object was located. Players are able to consult a map with the locations and the status of the Sparrows on the ZWERM website.
ZWERM partners: iMinds, Alcatel-Lucent, City of Ghent. With collaboration of MAD-faculty and Fab Lab Genk.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreements n°270971: SmartIP.

All graduate and professional students are considered independent for financial aid purposes. The FAFSA is used to gather information about the financial resources of a student. From this information a student contribution is calculated. This figure is referred to as the expected family contribution.
Financial need is the difference between what it costs to attend Marquette and what you can afford to contribute toward college expenses (based upon the FAFSA information).
In other words:
Cost (-) minus EFC = financial need
The FAFSA is used to gather information about your financial resources and the resources of your spouse. From this information a student contribution are calculated.
You are expected to contribute a portion of your after-tax income toward your annual education expenses. A portion of your savings and other assets are also considered.
Certain types of financial aid can be applied only toward demonstrated financial need. Other types of aid, such as the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan or alternative loans, can be awarded regardless of need. Financial aid from all sources cannot exceed your total cost of education for the year.
If you feel you have special circumstances that affect your ability to contribute to your education, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid in writing. We will review your situation and make appropriate adjustments.

Jenny McCarthy's New Boyfriend Is a Vodka-Swilling Musclebound Pirate
Jenny McCarthy has a new boyfriend! David Beckham gets sued. Britney Spears gets neck tattoos. Dog the Bounty hunter goes to the ER. And a mysterious woman tries to make out with Josh Duhamel. Sunday Gossip Roundup: Experience it it.
- Jenny McCarthy has moved on from Jim Carrey, everyone! She dating some 35-year-old guy named Jason Toohey. She told Larry King that "he owns an eye-mask company called Eyedews." Wha… what? Eyedews? That sounds like a very specific type of Japanese porn. Also, this guy looks like The Situation and Vinnie combined, posts pictures of himself in a Las Vegas pirate show on Facebook and has a weird gothic "P" tattooed on his left arm. Jenny found the guy who is the exact opposite of Jim Carrey.[Daily Mail]
- Did Britney Spears get some neck tattoos? We're hoping they are temporary. All tattoos say something powerful about their owner, and if these were real they would say: "I have completely given up." [Just Jared]
- Tommy Hilfiger's son, Richard Hilfiger was busted for pot possession with intent to sell a couple months ago. Now we learn he won't be charged because he only had two ounces and he has a medical marijuana prescription. Also, he has many neck tattoos! Britney: This could be your future. [TMZ]
- Dog the Bounty Hunter was rushed to the ER yesterday with a possible blood clot, which he developed after being injured during a hunt last year. [Radar]
- Whoa, a "mysterious woman" tried to make out with Josh Duhamel, at the premier of the his movie, Life as We Know It. She walked up to him and grabbed his neck and started smooching on him. Duhamel is married to Fergie, who happened to be on tour at the time, which is good, otherwise we'd be reading about the "mysterious woman" who was stabbed in the eye by Fergie. It's like Duhamel's whole life is a romantic comedy, only in real life romantic comedy things are sometimes creepy. [P6]
- Tiger Woods' brother, Earl Woods Jr., says their dad would have been disappointed by Tiger's behavior. No shit—there was a whole Nike commercial about that. [People]
- R&B singer Bruno Mars was arrested last month for cocaine possession; now he's facing felony possession charges. He could face four years in prison and a fine of $5,000. [Popeater]
- Last month, soccer star David Beckham sued Irma Nici, the prostitute who claimed to In Touch she slept with him. Now she's counter-suing, claiming that she received "emotional and physical injuries" at the hands of the person who served her the lawsuit. Now Beckham should counter-counter-sue, and then Nici should sue herself and we could have a never-ending mobius strip of lawsuits. [Radar]
- Tony Danza: technophobe. When a fan asked him for a picture, he declined, saying "it's like everyone has a phone with a camera on it, it's just too much." [P6]

This week in celebrity real estate, Ryan Seacrest has sold his home after two years on the market and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has listed his former Seattle-area home.
Ryan Seacrest's home sells for $11 million
Westside Estate Agency
Only one photo of Ryan Seacrest's home was released to the public.
After two years on the market and a price cut, Ryan Seacrest's home has sold. The "American Idol" host (as well as producer, radio and TV personality) first listed the home in 2010 for $14.95 million and then decided to take it off the market for a year.
When he did relist the home, he listed it pretty privately — releasing just one photo of the home publicly. All other interior shots were password protected on the Westside Estate Agency website. That's one way to weed out the paparazzi.
Seacrest's home has established its Hollywood pedigree. It was previously owned by Kevin Costner, from whom Seacrest purchased the home for $11.5 million in April 2006. According to the Los Angeles Times, Costner bought the home from Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss in 1995 for $2.7 million. The Mediterranean mansion has also been featured in Architectural Digest and was decorated by famed designer Jeff Andrews.
The 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 8,172-square-foot Hollywood Hills home is certainly up to celebrity standards with a swimming pool, guest house, detached garage, tennis courts, Los Angeles views and extensive landscaping.
Despite the home's storied past, Seacrest was ready to move on to a pretty spectacular custom home owned by none other than Ellen DeGeneres and listed for a whopping $49 million.
Matt Hasselbeck's Bellevue home listed for $3.495 million
Matt Hasselbeck's former home is on a gated lot.
After serving as the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback for eight years (2003-2011), Matt Hasselbeck was traded to the Tennessee Titans. He signed a three-year contract with the team and packed up his family — his wife, Sarah, and their three children — to head to the opposite side of the country, leaving his gorgeous Bellevue, Wash., estate behind.
Curbed Seattle reports that Hasselbeck's home — located at 9027 NE 1st St, Bellevue, WA 98004 — was listed for sale more than 100 days ago for $3.495 million.
Built in 2005 and boasting the kind of amenities you would expect from a Pro Bowl player, the property is located near the high-end neighborhood of Medina (home to Bill Gates) and is situated on a nearly half-acre lot with views of Meydenbauer Bay. The 6,340-square-fooot home has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths as well as a theater room and large living spaces. Obviously, the home includes a gym, but it also has a heated four-car garage, decks, patios and a children's playset.
Ideal for any celebrity — athlete or not — the home also includes full video surveillance.
Built-ins, high ceilings and large windows characterize much of the home.
Hasselbeck's large backyard includes a children's swingset.
See more photos of Matt Hasselbeck's home on Zillow.

The best way to gauge the climate for business leadership in this era of change is to start with a newcomer to the top of the "C-suite"—and not simply in terms of the position of the office but in the size and heft of the organization that person represents. Steve Collis, CEO of AmerisourceBergen, fills both slots, having assumed his post on July 1 at the top of a company that delivers a fifth of all the pharmaceuticals consumed in the US, with revenues of more than $78 billion—bigger than the biggest of Big Pharma. Editor-in-Chief William Looney sat down with Collis at company headquarters last month to review his philosophy on leadership and where he plans to bring the company in the year ahead.
William Looney: As a newcomer to the top of the C-suite, how has your background helped you prepare for the CEO role? Did you plan it as the ultimate destination in your career path, or has luck and circumstance played more of a role in your transition?Steve Collis: I believe that personal background does shape your professional prospects. The connection is inescapable. I am South African by birth and an American citizen by choice. In South Africa, where I spent my formative years, I had the advantage of a good education, training as a chartered accountant, and the opportunity to apply these skills early as a military service conscript, where I filled a gap and specialized in ethics and governance work designed to root out fraudulent use of public funds. Among other tasks, I investigated Air Force military personnel engaged in Ponzi schemes or loan sharking activities against other recruits. I did not plan for that. The experience taught me the importance of transparency in managing complex information flows along with the impact of integrity, honesty, and fairness in projecting your "personal brand" to others; once you lose those good character attributes you never get them back. This is a critical lesson I have carried forward to guide my career here in the US.
WL: Was your designation as CEO the most transformative passage in your career?

Herbert Grable was diagnosed in 2000 with congestive heart failure. When he was diagnosed, it came as a shock and he was scared. He didn't know what caused his heart to fail and he didn't know what heart failure treatments were available for him. He was very grateful to have the Emory Heart & Vascular Center near his home, as it offered a unique treatment for patients who are not candidates or can't get a heart transplant right away – called Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD).
As we have discussed in previous blogs, a VAD is a mechanical device that is implanted in the heart. This pump takes over the function for the ventricle and circulates blood to the rest of the body. The goal of a VAD is to improve a patient's survival and quality of life while they wait for a transplant (if they are a candidate for a transplant). The number of heart failure patients is tremendous, and with the number of transplants regulated per year at around 2,500 the VAD is another option for non-transplantable candidates as well.
After receiving the VAD, Herbert smiled and joked that he felt like himself again. His wife commented that the she got the "old Herbert back." After eight months with the VAD, Herbert was again upgraded to the transplant list. One week later, he received the call from Emory Transplant Center that a heart was available for him. Before transplant, Herbert was scared but he had faith in Emory and was determined that everything would work out. His wife was hopeful and optimistic that Herbert would be with her for many more years and would possibly see some grand kids one day.
Transplants are complex procedures. Emory transplant physicians are experts in their field and aware of all possible nuances that occur with each individual transplant patient. Should an unusual complication arise during a transplant experience, Emory has the skill to reach the most optimal outcome for a patient.
After Herbert received the heart transplant, he was able to live a normal lifestyle and do everything he always did before he was diagnosed with heart failure. He sums up his care "Emory is not just hospital, they care about the patient as well. I am so glad to have a place like Emory to treat me for this condition."
For more information about heart transplant after the VAD procedure, watch this video:
About Dr. Vega
Dr. David Vega is a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Emory Heart & Vascular Center and the Director of Emory's Heart Transplant program at Emory University Hospital. He implanted Georgia's first dual pump ventricular assist device (VAD) in 1999 to serve as a bridge to heart transplantation, a procedure that initiated Emory's ongoing national position at the forefront of the use of mechanical circulatory assist devices. In 2006, he implanted the state's first VAD as a form of destination therapy for individuals who are ineligible for or are unwilling to undergo a heart transplant, and in 2007 he implanted an even smaller VAD for the same purpose that featured an automatic speed control mode designed to regulate pumping activity based on different levels of patient or cardiac activity.

Park series continues as RISD looks at Rocky Point future
The second in a series of lectures focused on public parks with a view on what might be applicable to development at Rocky Point will be held next Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Matthew Urbanski, principal of Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, will talk about the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Open to the public, the lecture will be held at RISD's Bayard Ewing Building at 230 South Main St. in Providence.
In the first lecture, April 3, Deborah Marton, executive director of the New York Restoration Project (NYRP), talked about a number of parks, both tiny and comprising scores of acres in New York City. While Marton did not address Rocky Point, she talked of the importance of community involvement to the planning, development and use of parks.
"Parks happen because the communities make them," she said during a 90-minute talk. She also talked of the role of non-profits in pulling together the funding for park development. But there's much more to it than money.
She didn't see much chance of a development "if people are not inspired by a vision for the site." She also spoke about the importance of balancing the history of a site, which certainly applies to Rocky Point and its future use.
Since state acquisition with funding from a bond issue approved by voters in 2010, the 80 acres that form the core to the former amusement park have basically remained untouched. That will change this summer with the demolition of what remains of the Shore Dinner Hall, the Palladium and remaining cottages of Rocky Beach. Debris piles from the demolition of midway buildings and concrete pads for the rides as well as a lot of asphalt parking will be removed.
It is the hope of Department of Environmental Management Director Janet Coit that parklands will be accessible to the public by this fall. But cleanup of the park and how it is eventually used are two different things.
George Shuster, a founder of the Rocky Point Foundation that lobbied to have the state buy the park, worked with RISD professor Scheri Fultineer to establish the lecture series. It will culminate with a seminar conducted by RISD graduate students at the Save the Bay offices at Fields Point in Providence, set for 6:30 p.m. on June 2. Using material gathered from the lectures, students will focus on Rocky Point.
Shuster found Marton's description of development of Sherman Creek Park in New York especially applicable to Rocky Point.
"That park, like Rocky Point, is a waterfront park with a layered history and complex social, regulatory and environmental development issues. It was very helpful to hear how Ms. Marton has tackled those challenges and to think about what lessons can be learned for the development of Rhode Island's next great waterfront park at Rocky Point," he said in response to an email inquiry.
There may be more lessons to learn from Brooklyn Bridge Park. That park is an 85-acre post-industrial waterfront site stretching 1.3 miles along Brooklyn's East River edge. The site spans from the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges in the north to Pier 6 and Atlantic Avenue in the south. In addition, two historic properties, the Civil War-era Empire Stores and the tobacco warehouse, will be integrated into the park through an adaptive reuse that includes a theater and commercial space. The park provides green space for active and passive uses, including playing fields, sport courts, playgrounds, lawns and running and bicycle paths.
Urbanski has planned and designed landscapes in the United States, Canada and France, including waterfronts, parks, college campuses, sculpture gardens and private gardens.
Collaborating with him is Michael Van Valkenburgh, who was a lead designer of Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, Segment 5 of Hudson River Park in New York City, Alumnae Valley at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass., Allegheny Riverfront Park in Pittsburgh, Pa. and Teardrop Park in New York City. Urbanski is an adjunct associate professor in landscape architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design and is co-owner of Red Hill Nursery, a plants nursery in New Jersey that specializes in diverse species, varieties and forms that are not commonly available in large commercial nurseries.
The series will continue at the same time and location on May 1 with "Deeper Than the Beach: Resilience and the New Jersey Shore," featuring Gina Ford, Jason Hellendrung and Brie Hensold of Sasaki Urban Studio.
Sasaki led a "Resilience + the Beach" project with an interdisciplinary team of designers, planners, ecologists, social scientists and engineers to design opportunities and strategies for long-term coastal resilience in New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy.
Sasaki's research focused on the value of "the beach," a place of special significance to human memory and economy and a vital component of coastal ecosystems. Informed by a close reading of the ecological, economic and cultural conditions of the Jersey Shore, the Sasaki team's three design opportunities rethink iconic elements of the human experience of the shore – the pier, the boardwalk and the marina – to integrate greater ecological function and help coastal communities adapt and strengthen in the face of ongoing sea level rise and storm threats.

"I think it's about time we start talking about the next-gen games that will raise the standard and set the bar so high it becomes a topic of discussion all across the internet like the way Killzone 2 pre-rendered video did way back in 2005. As a lover of everything 3D graphics and computer animation I was never so excited about anything that had to do with video games as much as I did when I saw that video on the web. Some of the things that I really liked in that video was the facial animation of the characters, their body movement, the way the enemy AIs reacted when they are shot and when there was an explosion and the Physics of debris scattering all over the place when there was an explosion. All that and a whole lot of other things happening on the screen at the same time blew me away."
Who the check is Gorilla Games? Lol.
Fixed it. Thanks :-)
Am I the only one that thinks the actual Killzone2 looks WAY better than that rendered-shit?
KZ4 running in 4K isn't going to blow KZ fans away at all. Great graphics is expected when it come to KILLZONE. So I don't get why you made this article. What will really blow people away is a multiplayer that goes back to the roots of KILLZONE 2. This is what Guerrilla Games should really strive for in my opinion.
They better show off actual gameplay this time round though otherwise it's just a complete p*ss take like last time.
To be honest, Killzone doesn't need 4k to blow people away. As far as visuals are concerned, Killzone has always been visually stunning and we can only imagine what the developers can achieve in the graphics department (amongst others) with a next gen Killzone title.
One question intrigues me however; how will the next Killzone title compare to the CGI trailer shown for Killzone 2? I'm not talking about how the game looks like generally because, Killzone 2 did a decent job matching the general look and feel of the CGI trailer. I'm talking more specifically, the visual fidelity and detail.
[Edit] Some people on here are claiming that Killzone 2 actually looked better than the CGI trailer released. If that's the case then forget 4k resolution because I doubt the latter feature's inclusion will make any difference to those who are clearly visually impaired. Get real
i'm one of those who think KZ2 look the same as the CG trailer and KZ3 top both
last time i remember KZ2 won alot of gfx awards and 10/10 in gfx from all sites
uncharted 2 was the reason why it didn't won all the best gfx awards in 2009
Ok I'm gonna end this debate
Killzone 2 technically DOES and I mean Does look better than the trailer which as of right now looks kinda murkey with pretty blunt lighting ,
HOWEVER the game doesn't play as fluid or as cinematic as what was presented all those years ago if you know what I mean ? The fluid movement of the action gives the impression that it looks better, as it would on any trailer but in all honest KZ2 DOES look better , the game may not move as fluid or as cibematic as the trailer but then again find me one game that does , but it does in.deed look better from a technical stand point it DOES look better
Sony should really get away from using their game console to sell other hardware. Especially if that added cost is transferred to the consumer. The original Playstation and Playstation 2 had CD and then DVD playback. It really helped Sony sell those formats. Difference is those consoles both cost $299 U.S. at launch. That's where the PS3 stumbled. They wanted to sell bluray but those costs were added to the consumer. That is one of the reasons why Sony lost a portion of their fanbase.
4K TV's are not even in stores yet, let alone being anywhere near affordable by next year (if that is when the PS4 comes out). Sony showcased the PS3 as being truly next gen even though the games mostly played at 30fps and in 720p. If 4K support can be added for cheap then by all means do it. But if it just adds extra cost then what's the point? I would be happy if all PS4 games ran at 60fps and were in true 1080p.
***, the game may not move as fluid or as cibematic as the trailer but then again find me one game that does , ****
maybe the last of us ...might be wrong though
Im not sure what everyone is smoking... I am pretty certain that unless Sony (or Microsoft for that matter) are able to create a 'current' gen PC and sell it for 300-400 dollars - there is no way the 'next gen' consoles will even handle 1080p and 60fps let alone 4k. And it will still be MANY years before the 4K TV is even affordable.
The cheapest right now is what? 10grand? not even LCD/Plasmas (at respectable sizes) were that much during their infancy.
I'll be honest, I am growing tired of N4G - they just link to these stupid articles that are designed to start flame wars.
I agree with you, well put. I think that this next KZ will be the best looking, that's a no brainer, but I am hoping for that real smooth animation, those little effects like debris and environment effects that go with the big more obvious things. Animation like Ico or the upcoming Last of us would be ideal. Plus art direction is vital, choice of design style and color palette will be really important.
Fix the part with the unrealistic expectations, too. You know...the entire article.
@ Septic, you are getting downvoted for telling the truth, isn't that great!? To everyone, if you knew what was running behind the KZ2 CGI video, you would know it greatly surpasses KZ2 and every console game this gen. The particle effects and texture quality are far better then the actual KZ2, just watch this(2:44)- http://www.youtube.com/watc...
That doesn't mean KZ2 isn't impressive, if anything it's the opposite. The KZ2 CGI trailer's art style makes it look worse then the real KZ2 at times, partially because KZ2 had a great art style.
Excuse me for crashing the party, but who actually believes a console could run anything but a movie at 4k resolution when they struggle to run sub-HD games? Even mid-high grade PC's struggle to run 4k resolution.
Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround are examples of 4k resolution (sometimes higher) and you need a pretty good PC with lots of video memory to run it. I doubt next-gen consoles will have more than 1GB of memory. If that's the case, 4k resolution will not be possible on consoles without it being a slideshow.
That's probably why it will be limited to streaming 4K and maybe be something linked to their acquisition of Gaikai.
Get real. The PS4 is already 2 generations behind a current gen PC and even a GTX 690 can't run anything at 4k. Console = piss poor rendering quality and textures regardless of what resolution it runs at.
i have a top notch gaming pc....but guess what?
im getting the ps4 on day one, u mad bro?
why would i volontary avoid sony exclusives only because there's two msi 580 lightning in sli on my pc?
a real gamer will play games no matter on what platform it is..... and last thing, Okami and Journey showed us that high res textures doesnt necessarily make a game look better.
I don't think we can include pc's as an example because their was a point where ps3 exclusive were being compared,I doubt we'll see 4k games like killzone but if 4k tvs come down in price significantly maybe psn titles will be in 4k.
Take a look at some exclusives, you won't regret it..
Where did u see the PS4? Got any pictures?
"even a GTX 690 can't run anything at 4k"
U sure?
Nah u ain't, not at all
I think there is also a decent chance you'll see some racing games at 4K. In general racing games can produce better graphics than most other types of games because what needs to be shown on screen is more limited, more predictable and there is usually not as much going on at once on the screen.
If you're comment was directed towards me, then I saw it a couple a years ago on PC.
If you're comment was directed towards me, then I was simply here to educated the ignorant (in this case a vast majority of the people on n4g) about PC hardware, which "your" PS4 will be using.
You can talk about PC all you want, but the fact of the matter is consoles, are becoming more and more like PC's, except limited in functionality and locked to whatever the console maker wants.
There is a chance PS4 games will be in 4K as Sony have already demoed one.
"PC and even a GTX 690 can't run anything at 4k."
cuz you need a gtx 680 for that?
I have a great pc but still get a ps4 dude. I like both platforms. And why not appreciate great games more than textures? PS4 won't have 4k games but who actually cares??
This is about gaming no?
I can't wait for amnesia on pc and there is no way I will miss the last of us on ps3!
ps4 is a day pre order!!
Ps4 will be powerful enough for a console or they will have to change the name(which I don't think they will do).
"We named it PlayStation, the power of a workstation for play. That is our mantra seventeen years later." - Jack Tretton
I see the 72 plus (and counting) people who dissagree do not have much tech knowledge.
@kurianofborg - exactly right - of course we may all get the PS4 for games, but this comment is about the article, and making up stories that the PS4 will be more powerful then it is is crazy.
@MmaFan-qc - try quad 680 SLI - what console can take that on? The next PS4/xbox will have a video card somewhat like the Wii U - cheap, slow, 2 generations old - that is the model they use so they can at least break even on a console with a low price point.
Consoles = casual gaming
PC = hardcore gamers
Well....the part where you said "Even a GTX 690 can't run anything at 4K" was true....
And yet, it only took 3 daisychained PS3's to do a Gran Turismo demo in 4k. That means the PS4 need only be more than 3X as powerful as the PS3 to get at least some stuff into 4k.
You're the one who needs to get real.
What if we are blown away? What hell difference would it make? I mean, it's a 4k tv for cryin out loud. Sony is trying to push yet another niche to try and sell their tv's. How soon we forget the 3d fiasco that they tried to get the brainwashed legions to buy in to. This is just another marketing ploy to try and generate sales for a dying console.
We dnt have long to wait by GDP 2013 Sony will talk about ps4.
Most pundits still saying Xbox will bein 2014 like around February-march. But I personally don't see ms giving any a head start, wiiu is gonne be a forgotten device because ps4 and next Xbox will over shadow it. And it's not fair since wiiu does bring some new things to gaming
Anyway can't wait to find out more.
i will be excited for Killzne 4 anyway, but if GG can make it full 1080P while gaming running full 60FPS.
I suspect if Sony and Microsoft truely aim for 4K and future proof their console then 1080 60 FPS on any title shouldn't be much of a problem as 4K would only run at 30fps max. Even the top cards out there run games in 4K at 20-30 fps, but a multi low power GPU solution could allow for consoles to do the same if not greater.
After getting into 3d gaming all I can ask for is 1080p HD in 3d at 60fps along with full screen co-op 3d running at atleast 30fps.
Another garbage "wouldn't this be cool? give me hits!" article.
I'm pretty sure this is a given. Another pre rendered video running off of the expected hardware for the PS4 to get the gaming community all giddy with excitement.
I would rather just see something actually running in realtime on similar hardware rather than something pre rendered on a 10k workstation :-/
To be honest so would I. But a lot of E3 is more about generating excitement then anything else, the KZ2 video in 2005 blew the roof off the place. I suspect that Sony and MS are aiming for that type of reaction when unveiling the launch titles for the next gen consoles.
What can be more exciting about showing something that can blow the roof off, only for the guy to pick up a pad and at least move the camera around to show it is being rendered in realtime! Yes peeps, this is exactly how the game could look or even better with the time left to finish the game, cos thats just how awesome our new hardware is?
That would be exciting. Pre rendered video should be banished, because it can only bring scepticism and criticism about the actual realtime game when the dust finally settles and the analysts move in.
KZ2's video only ended up biting Sony early on because the game was delayed and the gap between the video and the game was nearly 4 years. This just added to the stack of bad PR for PS3 at the start of its life. Where is this mythical KZ2, the KZ2 visual games etc etc....
Better just show something you have got, in realtime and be honest.
I'm not fussed. I mean the Killzone 2 video was pre-rendered and everybody said "There's no way the game will look that good" and then when it actually launched it looked significantly better than the original fake video which was incredibly impressive. I even remember the screenshots comparisons showing the huge increase in texture detail, lighting effects and geometry in the finished product compared to the original trailer.
Really impressive stuff!
The problem with the ps3's reveal is that it was so far off from the actual systems launch, so they had nothing to show initially. If they show off ps4 at E3 and it launches in the fall, then I'd assume the launch games will be near enough finished by time of its reveal and there will be no need or excuse for those deceptive target render videos.
They couldn't pull that trick twice even if they wanted to. Both Killzone 2 and Motostorms target renders are still above anything we've seen on current systems. No one will place faith in such videos again.
I don't understand anyone who thinks KZ2 looks better than the pre-rendered target. Honestly, I don't understand the people who say it was even close. If they had pre-rendered low res textures and massive jagged aliasing, then maybe it woulda been close.
My opinion, that was one of the biggest marketing fails of the generation, and it setup one of the biggest disappointments of Sony's lineup.
They need to fake the footage just to blow us away again. That killed all of the side-chatter and was a deal-maker for a lot of people. lol
Enjoy your $600 PS4. I will as well one day, but I'm not paying that much again at launch.
I seriously doubt we'll see pre-rendered video for most of the PS4 games, simply because the development teams have been working on the games for too long.
Who should be there Year 1
Polyphony last game was GT5 Nov. 2010 (2+ year ago by E3, 3 year by launch)
Guerrilla Games last game was Killzone 3 Feb. 2011 (2+ years ago by E3)
Evolution last game was Motorstorm Apoc. Mar. 2011 (2+ years ago by E3)
Sucker Punch last game was inFamous 2 June 2011 (2+ years ago by E3)
Sony San Diego are likely working on MLB for PS4
So as you can see, these developers have probably been working on their next gen titles for over 2 years, so they should be at a point where they're playable, even if they don't make it in the launch window.
My guess for launch titles are (MLB 14: PS4, Wipeout / Motorstorm / New racing IP PS4 (Evolution), GT6 Prologue, and a New Action-Adventure IP from Sucker Punch, and a New FPS from Guerrilla Games)
After that we should see something from Naughty Dog Team 1 (Uncharted 4 / New IP more likely), Sony London (PS4 Move something), and possibly some insight into FF13 versus, Agent, and Last Guardian at E3 2014 (If we don't see them then consider them cancelled, since 2014 should be Sony's off year since 2013 will be packed with devs. cranking out games on PS3, PSVita, and PS4).
Working on games now for 2013 - Q1 2014
Naughty Dog Team 2, is working on The Last of Us (PS3)
Sony Santa Monica is working on God of War ascension (PS3)
Sony Japan is working on Last Guardian (PS3 / PS4)
Media Molecule is working on Tearaway for the Vita (PSV)
Big Big Studios is a handheld (Vita) developer (PSV something)
Sony Bend is "rumored to be working on a Vita game" (Uncharted / Splinter Cell)
Sony Cambridge is working on Killzone Mercenaries (PSV)
Sony Japan is "rumored to be working on Gravity Rush 2" (PSV)
Idk, I'd say they did an awesome job with the actual game, I even prefer it the actual game to that CG.
Irrelevant until 4K TV's are cheap enough for the common consumer. Guess what? They won't be for a while.
4K tvs are irrelevant anyway (not just talking about price). To noticeably see a difference between 1080p and 4K the TV needs to be around 80inch or above. Now Big TVs are good but this is where it gets excessive and no sane family (or enough of them) is going to put that in there living room. 4K is perfect for the cinemas and outdoor arenas. It isn't for the general consumer.
@Iamnsuperman You should probably look into pixel density per square inch.
Hell, watch The Dark Knight rises on Blu-ray using a high end calibrated monitor in ideal viewing conditions. It was filmed mostly in about 4k digital resolution and about an hour is 65mm iMax film telecined to digital which is equal to about 8k video, yes 8k. That's why iMax looks so amazing and costs so much more. It makes a very noticeable difference on any sized screen even if it's native 1080p and that's using film with all its imperfections in-between. Video games are rendered real time free of any imperfections from the chemicals used in film and then displayed pixel for pixel. 4k will make a dramatic difference from 1080p, no questions there. My point is that 1080p to 4k will be even more noticeable in games than in movies even at home on a 30-50" TV.
While it's true that the source material plays a major role in picture quality, the fact remains that the difference is negligible in a standard viewing environment. 4K TV's are going to have a much harder time gaining market acceptance. Just looking at the shift to HDTV a lot of people still couldn't see the difference, and early on there wasn't a whole lot of HDTV sources to be had.
A 30" screen is about a quarter of the surface area of a 60" screen, and 4K would be completely wasted on it. There may be slight differences in the 45-60" realm, but not enough for most people to upgrade, especially since there are very few media sources that will support it. There is a difference when going above 60", but as superman said, most families wouldn't have such a large TV in their living rooms.
As far as games are concerned, there are so many filters and sharers put into modern games that having more pixels to push could actually cause the image quality to decrease, as you are not simply pushing out a flat image pixel, but one that has various effects related to dithering and occlusion. Faults in those sharers would stand out much more, and be jarring to the viewer.
I totally agree 4k won't take off for a very good while, but everything about screen size, resolution and the noticeable difference is not true at all. A 50" at 1920x1080 has 47.89 pixels per inch. A 50" at 3840x2860 has 104.9 pixels per inch. More than twice the amount of pixels in the same area. I'd bet anyone who isn't blind as a bat could tell that difference—-especially with real time games.
It's all relative though. So of course an 80" at 4k is going to look far superior than an 80" at 1080p over a 30" because with smaller screens and higher resolution, it's pixel density that makes the difference. Imagine smart phones with 1080p. a 4" iPhone at 1080p would be 550.73 pixels per inch. There's a difference you'd be hard pressed to find since 300PPI is supposedly as high as the human eye can distinguish.
If PS4 has 4k, it will be there for displaying 3D in 1080P more than anything else besides video and pictures. This is likely to happen with the 3D games the PS4 will see, but Uncharted 4 in 4k is unlikely but that would be drool inducing. Uncharted 4 in 3D 1080p could happen and would be a real showpiece in demonstrating that new standard.
Irrelevant because it's impossible. Even a PC can't run that resolution and a modern PC is atleast 20x a powerful as a PS4.
I am just going to call out the obvious here but how can a modern gaming PC be 20 times more powerful than a PS4 (a console yet to release). A more sensible (you should try it sometime) suggestion would to say the PS4 could possibly and is most likely to release as a mid high- to high end modern gaming PC
If your right I don't think Sony would sell any ps4 but iam guessing your wrong
Modern high end GPUs can certainly handle 4k gaming at playable frame rates. Though for 60fps+ with demanding games, you'll need multiple high end GPUs and to lower some graphical settings.
Not to mention the fact that There are several GPU's capable of running games in 4k.
All 4k capable with the last of each being able to run most at 60 fps still
The brown ring on your arm much be around your armpit seeing how far you had to reach to pull that "fact" out.
I seem to remember the PS3 having bluray at a time when the cheapest bluray player was a $1000 and those went down in price reasonably in a few years like HDTV did.
4K is wasted on the human eye.
I have 4k eyes.
65mm iMax film is equivalent to 8k digital and it's certainly noticeable on any sized screen.

Scott Arcuri
Hometown: New Milford, Conn.
Major: Computer Science
MINOR: Security
WCSU Degree: Bachelor of Arts, Computer Science
Internships: Web development Internship at Consumer Reports
Activities: Resident assistant, treasurer of Grasso Hall Council, University Judicial Board student representative
Honors and Awards: Dean's List, Housing Academic Achievement Award, Wohlever Award in Computer Science, Who's Who among Students in American Colleges and Universities, 3.67 GPA
Some students come to WCSU from across the country and others from around the corner. Scott Arcuri is one of those students who wanted to stay close to home. "I decided to come to Western because of the strong relationships I had here. I am one of four children in my household that currently attend WestConn, so I am never too far away from my family even while living on campus."
Arcuri says he chose to study computer science because "it's an interesting field, especially in today's society, with technology advancing at an astonishing rate. Understanding the logic behind it, and being able to contribute to the technological age in itself is a reward. Software engineering can produce an infinite amount of applications, and thus can be used as a solution to almost anything. It's a major where the more one learns about it, the more intrigued they become. I am fascinated and engulfed by the subject, as every day provides new breakthroughs and topics to be learned."
Professors of Computer Science Dr. William Joel and Dr. Gancho Ganchev have been vital to his success at WestConn, Arcuri says. "Dr. Ganchev was my adviser for a student-developed study, and has been incredibly helpful in providing information on how to do well in the department. Dr. Joel catered a faculty-developed study in the scope of an intersession research project to individuals' needs, which I then used as a reference of my work when I had job and internship interviews."
Asked what he will remember most about his WCSU experience, Arcuri says, "My most memorable experience was when a group of computer science majors and I attempted to resurrect the Computer Society, a club that had not been active in years. For a semester, every Friday we would get together and try to gather numbers, in order to make it official. We would discuss digital electronics, use logic boards, watch lectures from MIT, and plan events such as LAN parties. The disappointing factor was that it was a lot of work keeping the club running with too few members, and it turned into more of a social and educational extension of the major. While it lasted, it was a valuable experience, and I can only hope one day the club can return as more interest is generated within the department."
After graduation, Arcuri plans to attend graduate school to pursue a master's degree in computer science. "I have applied to both Marist and Sacred Heart," he says. "The deciding factor on which school I will go to will depend on if I can use my summer experience working to obtain a full-time position close to either of the college campuses and become a part-time student."
Arcuri's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "One of the most valuable skills a freshman can have is time management, as WCSU has the resources to allow every student to do well if you spend your time wisely. The great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in five words: 'I did not have time' - Franklin Field."

Customer Spotlight: Paul Bell, Singer-Songwriter
Singer/Songwriter Paul Bell was the winner of our Fender Jaguar HH competition last year, so we're pleased to hear back from him. He's releasing a free download single to mark Marriage Week UK.
"We are making a love to last a lifetime… I don't mind if it takes a little time".Singer-songwriter Paul Bell has made "What I call romance" available to download on his website for a limited time to coincide with Marriage Week UK.
A live favourite, it covers some of the aspects of relationships that don't often make it into a love song. There aren't many love songs that include the phrases "make you porridge", "peel the spuds" or "I'll use the appropriate board for chopping", but this is a song that deals with the little things which, in a marriage, can be just as important as the grand romantic gesture.
"What I call romance" is a song that never fails to raise a smile of recognition from married members of crowds at recent gigs. Paul was wondering what the secret is to a lasting marriage, so he asked his friends, Dave and Rosemary (now approaching 50 years together). Turns out he makes her porridge every morning.
He doesn't even like porridge that much. "Turns out she doesn't like porridge that much either, but she was too polite to say anything…" jokes Paul. That set the ball rolling, and the rest of the song followed on from there.
The final verse makes it clear that the song is about a marriage relationship, so Paul decided to make it available as a free download during Marriage Week UK 2009. It will remain available for a limited time only. "This song is just so true", says Dave Percival, coordinator for Marriage Week UK. "It's constant attention to the little things in a marriage that make it great - that's what the song, and the week celebrate! I guess they go together like - well, like a husband and wife!"
Paul explains that he used his new Fender Classic Player Jaguar HH with a Line 6 M13 into Cornell and Orange Amps, to create some guitar textures, using layered delays.
The single is taken from Paul's forthcoming live album "Name in Lights", which was recorded in November 2008. The album features songs about everything from global warming to biscuits, and is due for release in February 2009.
About Paul Bell:
With influences including James Taylor, Sting, John Mayer and Flight of the Conchords, Paul Bell is an intelligent songwriter and an engaging live performer. In 2006, he released his debut solo album, although he has written songs since he was 6. The follow-up, a live album "Name in lights" is released in February 2009.

The House of William and Merry restaurant has joined the James Beard Foundation's "Taste America Local Dish Challenge" to benefit local and national non-profit groups. Diners can help win $10,000 for Meals on Wheels Delaware.
The House of William and Merry restaurant has joined the James Beard Foundation's "Taste America Local Dish Challenge" to benefit local and national non-profit groups.
The restaurant's owners and chefs, Bill Hoffman and Merry Catanuto, said they are proud to represent northern Delaware's impressive local food scene in this nationwide culinary event.
Chefs around the country were challenged to create dishes that showcase the best of their local food scene, as part of the foundation's "Taste America: Local Flavor From Coast-to-Coast" event.
For the challenge, Bill Hoffman will present "scallops and oysters," a dish with pan-seared Jersey scallops, local corn, butternut squash and oyster mushrooms with a white-truffle vinaigrette.
One dollar from every dish sold through Oct. 31 at the Hockessin restaurant will be donated to the James Beard Foundation Taste America Education Drive, which supports educational programs including the JBF Food Conference, the JBF Leadership Awards and the Chefs Boot Camp for Policy & Change.
Diners can help win $10,000 for Meals on Wheels Delaware
Diners should bring along their phones when they come to the House of William and Merry. Snapping a picture of "Scallops and Oysters," and posting it to Instagram with hashtags #JBFTasteamerica and #Hockessin, puts Meals on Wheels Delaware, the local nonprofit chosen by the restaurant's owners, in the running to win a donation of $10,000 or more from the James Beard Foundation.
More than 50 top restaurants from around country have joined the challenge, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Perry St in New York City, Jenn Louis' Lincoln in Portland and Nate Whiting's Tristan in Charleston.
"This event is a perfect opportunity to show off the beauty of our local harvest, and to bring attention to the James Beard Foundation and Meals on Wheels Delaware," said Bill Hoffman. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence and passion."

When 12-year-old Rebecca Ann Sedwick leapt off an abandoned cement plant in Lakeland, Fla., on Sept. 10, her death was ruled a suicide and instantly became a national tragedy. Tuesday, police announced the arrest of two classmates, ages 12 and 14, for felony aggravated stalking in the bullying case.
At least one of her alleged tormentors wasn't sorry, police said.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the arrests came after one of the girls posted the following message on Facebook on Saturday: "Yes ik [I know] I bullied REBECCA nd she killed her self but IDGAF ♥"
IDGAF stands for I don't give a [expletive].
According to probable cause statements from the sheriff's office, the 14-year-old girl appeared to be the ringleader, repeatedly confronting a passive Rebecca and telling her classmate she "should go kill herself" and she "should die." Her boyfriend used to be Rebecca's boyfriend; she called Rebecca ugly and told her to drink bleach to kill herself, officials said.
At a previous news conference, the sheriff said that things had gotten so bad for Rebecca that she had taken to searching Google with terms like, "how to get blades out of razors," "how many Advil do you need to take to die," "how many over the counter drugs do you take to die," and "what not to say to a cutter."
The 14-year-old didn't stop with just Rebecca, who officials said didn't fight back against the bullying. Her classmate also threatened to bully Rebecca's friends if they stayed close, and extended her harassment over social media. One classmate interviewed by investigators said she was afraid to be friends with Rebecca for fear of being attacked by the 14-year-old.
Sometime in late 2012 or early 2013, classmates told officials that the older girl also turned the 12-year-old against Rebecca, who had previously been Rebecca's best friend, at one point beating Rebecca up at the behest of the 14-year-old in February.
School officials then stepped in and suspended the 12-year-old, who later, accompanied by her mother, apologized to Rebecca's mom for bullying her former friend after she killed herself.
Nonetheless, officials decided that her bullying, too, had played a role in Rebecca's suicide. One of her last messages appeared to be a text to a North Carolina boy saying, "I'm jumping and I can't take it anymore."
"As I child I can remember my mother telling me 'sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you,' " Judd told reporters at a Tuesday news conference, the Orlando Sentinel reported. "Today, words stick, because they're printed, and words are hurtful. They are as hurtful - and sometimes more hurtful - than sticks and stones. Ask Rebecca's family."
The two girls were arrested and booked at a juvenile facility Monday before being released back into the custody of their parents, officials said. The Los Angeles Times is not releasing their names because of their age.
In Florida, aggravated stalking is a third-degree felony, defined as "a person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows, harasses, or cyberstalks another person and makes a credible threat to that person."

June 23, 2014
TheBodyPRO.com recently interviewed longtime activist Mark Harrington, the executive director of Treatment Action Group. Harrington talks about the ramifications of the PARTNER study results, as well as what to expect from HIV treatment and care in the next five years.
How is HIV prevention changing today?
One of the really interesting things about the renewed discussion and debate about prevention in the gay community is that a lot of people are explicitly beginning to say one of the goals of ending the epidemic is to be able to have condomless sex without being worried about HIV transmission. And there are some people who can do that today, right? If you're in a seroconcordant relationship and you both got tested yesterday, and you've been totally faithful since then, you probably could have sex without a condom today. And if you're in a serodiscordant relationship and one person's got an undetectable viral load, or their partner's on PrEP [pre-exposure prophylaxis], or both, you can probably have condomless sex without risk of transmission.
Even from the PARTNER study recently -- even just one partner being virally suppressed, and the other being negative, it seems like the rate of transmission was low, was very low, in the first two years of the study. It was so low that nobody got infected, which implies that a controlled viral load is pretty safe, safer than what we used to call unsafe sex. And so we need to rebrand; we need to rethink safer sex. We can't just keep on using the same old messages from the '80s and '90s, because they're obviously not working.
We need to add new tools to the arsenal of sexual health. That includes PEP [post-exposure prophylaxis], PrEP and fourth-generation testing, with more frequent testing if you're in a high-risk group. Most people don't know about these new tools and how to use them. It's been very exciting to see in ACT UP a real hunger and awareness, interest in the emerging new science around testing incidence, transmission and epidemiology. If there were more places where those conversations were going on, I think we could have a new generation of activism to really stop the epidemic.
In terms of the PARTNER study, what should medical providers be saying to their clients?
They should say it's really early days yet, and the sample size is small, and the error bars are large. So far, there have been no transmissions observed. But if we run it out longer and with enough people, eventually there's going to be some.
How much longer, and how many more people?
Well, you can see what Jens Lundgren said about the confidence interval. He was very clear that it's really early days in the study. And the study is not saying it's 100 percent fail-safe; they were very careful about that.
On the other hand, I think it's undoubtedly good news, for that number of people followed for that length of time, that nobody's been infected. That would appear to concord with the 052 study, where there was really zero infections after treatment started. The one infection that happened in the treatment arm was already underway at the enrollment period of the study, which, remember, nobody could believe it when it came out.
What it also shows you, which is unlike the PrEP studies, the adherence to treatment in 052 was incredibly high, or there would have been more infections. There were no infections in the treatment group, except for that one at baseline. In most of the PrEP studies, adherence was all over the map. That's one of the valid issues that people had about the PrEP studies, is that adherence is all over the map. But on the other hand, now that we know PrEP works, adherence might be better, at least, in some groups. Theoretically, you could do tests for adherence with blood levels.
Furthermore, in a few years, when tenofovir [Viread] comes off patent, you'll be able to get PrEP for about 200 bucks a year.
When's that going to happen?
In about 2017. And the long-acting injectables will come around. There will be no adherence for them, unless you just don't get your shot.
So the outlook for chemoprophylaxis is just going to get better. There are going to be more options available for more delivery mechanisms. Even on some of the lists that I've been on, you can see the discussion is shifting from a discussion about condom Nazis or people who are condemning barebacking to much more of a discussion about people saying, "Well, I've started it." "I'm starting it." "I'm thinking of starting it." "Why did my doctor send me to a specialist just to get a prescription?"
People are at least willing to say that they are considering doing it. I think that's a really good sign. People were absolutely desperate for stuff. They were even willing to do stuff that didn't work for a long time, because there was nothing that worked or because there was nothing that they knew worked. And then, as the years went on, some of us asked for higher standards of data. Because some stuff worked for a little bit, but it didn't work for very long. And we wanted it to work longer.
We need to have standards for data and high-quality data in prevention, just like we do in treatment. People shouldn't be still putting crap in our bodies, and people should be able to use any tool that can help them not become HIV infected, whether that means more frequent testing, chemoprophylaxis, barrier methods, legal clean needles or [circumcision].
Let's talk about care and treatment for the person with HIV. Anything exciting that you think is going to be coming down within the next five years?
Well, I think dolutegravir [Tivicay, DTG] is very exciting. It's probably more exciting from the global standpoint, because it will enable us to have a cheaper second-line and maybe even first-line therapy than what we have now because it's going to be cheap to manufacture. It seems to be very potent. It's really the first drug that's come along that's really clearly more potent than efavirenz [Sustiva, Stocrin] and either more potent or equipotent with the protease inhibitors, darunavir [Prezista] and atazanavir [Reyataz]. So we really have an integrase inhibitor that's as good, or more potent than any of our other drugs. And it's a small molecule, once daily, without a booster. It's a huge breakthrough. It also happens to treat raltegravir [Isentress]-resistant [virus].
Are we concerned about resistance?
Anytime you have an antimicrobial drug, there is going to be resistance. The only way to prevent it is to not ever give the drug out at all. So we're going to have resistance to anything.
What's interesting is that, since the advent of HAART [highly active antiretroviral therapy], the incidence of transmitted drug resistance has actually gone down, because most of the people in the '90s that were on partially suppressive therapy, they got resistant to everything they were on. After HAART, most people don't become resistant at all if they're adherent -- or they might become resistant to one thing, and then they switch. So incidence of transmitted drug resistance is under 10%. And we've had HAART for 18 years now. It was higher in '94 than it is now.
I'm not terribly worried about resistance. I'm worried about people not being able to get treatment that they need, because of price, costs or health system barriers.
There are other drugs. But we're at the point where, in HIV therapy, things are pretty good, and getting better. I think where a lot of action is going to be is in trying to figure out how to improve our game and other aspects, like in chemoprophylaxis and vaccines. We're very, very far from having a vaccine.

Web Business Monthly
I began designing for the Web in the mid-90s, and I've seen wave after wave of design trends. Some stick around, some fizzle out, but there are some basic principles of information design that show up on every successful site. The frustrating part is that most newcomers and even some Web veterans insist on discovering these principles on their own. If you're building your site or getting serious about a redesign, don't reinvent the wheel. Look at what makes great sites work and follow their lead.
Start with site navigation. There's a reason successful sites display internal links along the top of their pages: It works. If you're not displaying your navigation up top or on the left-hand margin, you're probably forcing your customers to learn how to use your site instead of learning about you.
When was the last time you saw a text-heavy site with a background color? Even offline brands whose hallmark is a non-white background like the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times now use white backgrounds online. It makes it easier for Web users to read text. Your customers will follow instructions better if they can read them.
These are basic, but they're two mistakes that seasoned site designers still make. Remember that established sites spend big bucks learning what design principles work best. Don't ignore these invaluable lessons!

Jamie's Laid-Back Chic Small Space
Name: Jamie
Location: Dupont Circle, Washington, DC
I share my tiny (less than 600 sq ft) rented apartment with my husband. We have chic yet laid-back style that combines vintage, modern, and well-traveled objects including my great-grandmother's antique furniture, treasures from our worldly travels (which I write about on my blog, High Heeled Traveler), and original works of art hang on every wall. Our travels inspire our space.
We move to new cities often and have to fit our entire life into tiny city apartments. We live in an english basement now, and it was challenging to make the space look open and light when we have limited windows. Its always a challenge to blend my feminine with his masculine taste.
Thanks Jamie!

No other company spews BS out like this, if you are going to, you need to back it up legit!
The product is not the hated material, the product is great, it may not fill everyone's need but most. Quality is great.
But claiming BS crap that they do takes away credibility.
Momi is defiantly one of the best designers in the industry, no one can question that.
But as far as being a real player in the market Epic will never be with the over the top BS.
They have good people using there gear, but not many in the big picture.
And yes time will tell!
Epic could have been a real player. They will sell gear but never like a mainstream company.
But there should be no hate , and the goon squad needs to realize this is about claims made that are not true, nothing else. The guys calling out have a very legit claim.
This has been fun to read!
The promoter does the BS spewing.....too bad the kite can't speak

I would like to describe a very strange matter I experienced recently.
First my configuration:
- OS: Windows XP SP1; 2 instances on C: and I:
- Asus Mobo
- 1 Gb memory
- onboard Broadcom lan adapter; plugged to Internet modem
- 3com lan card; plugged to laptop
- the onboard and the 3com adapters are in bridge (XP)
Always functioned good.
Until I started XP one day (recently)
The Onboard lan port reported cable unplugged.
Whatever I tried, I could not get it back to work.
I tried all the obvious; driver renewal, removed driver, also from BIOS etc
Also tried other cables etc. No success.
Also the other XP instance doesnt work; even restore didnt repair it.
BUT: when I started the computer with the BartPE CDROM; thats a booting CDROM that makes XP running from it; no HD required.
Look at (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
When I choose to start network support; message installing network components; apllying settings and THERE it worked. I already could tell because of the light that went on on the port of the adapter. I could internet and all with it.
What could be wrong?
Anyone can help me with that??

Florida attorneys for the New England Compounding Pharmacy have asked that a lawsuit filed against them be moved from Marion County circuit court to federal court.
Florida attorneys for the New England Compounding Pharmacy — the Massachusetts pharmacy embroiled in the national outbreak of fungal meningitis — have asked that a lawsuit filed against them be moved from Marion County circuit court to federal court. The disease was linked to a contaminated steroid, primarily used for epidural back injections, manufactured and distributed by NECC. Three infected lots of the steroid were distributed in Marion County.
In all, there are 17 reported fungal meningitis cases in Marion alone and 24 statewide. The nationwide outbreak of the disease has garnered a reported 510 cases and 36 deaths as of Nov. 26, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
All three deaths linked with the outbreak in Florida have been in Marion County.
According to the motion filed on behalf of the NECC, the pharmacy claims that the lawsuit is "between citizens of different states" and the amount of damages sought exceeds $75,000, thus making the case eligible for federal jurisdiction.
The motion notes there are similar lawsuits in several other states; as a result, there can be conflicts in the interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations.
The attorneys also point out that the Federal Drug Administration's definitions and rules about who has jurisdiction over compounding pharmacies and new drugs may be in conflict with federal and state laws.
"Permitted practices in some states may be considered impermissible manufacturing by FDA and other states," the lawsuit stated. "Federal standards, if applicable, will preempt state duties where it is impossible for a private party to comply with both state and federal requirements."
John Piccin, the attorney who filed the complaint on behalf of Vilinda York in Marion County, said NECC's jurisdictional move won't work.
"I don't think they're going to be successful in removing it to federal court," he said.
Piccin said he and his co-counsel should have a response to NECC's motion by the end of this week.
Experts say the move by NECC to move the lawsuit to federal court is purely logistical.
Adam Levine, an adjunct professor of law at the Stetson University College of Law, said the NECC would benefit if the lawsuit were heard in federal court because all its resources and headquarters are in Massachusetts.
Levine said it's part of the NECC's possible strategy to have the case eventually moved to a federal Massachusetts jurisdiction.
"Their ultimate goal … is to make the case heard in Massachusetts," he said.
But right now, the compounding pharmacy is just looking to move the case to federal court in Florida. If the lawsuit is moved, it's likely that a Massachusetts federal court could ultimately hear the case.
Unlike Piccin, Levine said the NECC will have no problems getting the case moved, which could pose potential problems for the plaintiff based in Marion County.

First published in 1932, Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer's speculative novel When Worlds Collide was immediately purchased by Paramount as a possible project for director Cecil B. DeMille. But because none of Paramount's scriptwriters were able to come up with an adequate screen treatment, the property lay on the shelf until 1950, when producer George Pal was casting about for a follow-up to his successful sci-fier Destination Moon. Though the film was top-heavy with special effects, Pal was able to bring When Worlds Collide in for under a million dollars, thanks to an inexpensive cast and a heavy reliance upon stock footage. The story is set in motion when Dr. Cole Henderson (Larry Keating) announces that a extraterrestrial planet is on a collision course with the Earth. No one believes Henderson's story, save for crippled financier Stanton (John Hoyt), who finances the construction of a gigantic spaceship, built for the purpose of transporting selected survivors from the doomed Earth to another Earthlike planet. As it becomes obvious that Henderson's predictions will come true, a worldwide lottery is held to select those people who will be rescued from oblivion by Stanton's spaceship. In the climactic scenes, the worlds do indeed collide, with appropriately spectacular results. But will the spaceship, overloaded with humanity, be able to take off and seek out a Brave New World? Amidst the thrills, a romantic triangle emerges, involving Richard Derr, Barbara Rush and Peter Hanson. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
