Cuba Travel Information
The Basics
Most older hotels use 110 volt power, 60Hz, while newer hotels use 220 volts, 60Hz. A variety of outlets are in use, but the flat and round two-pin plugs are most common.
The official language is Spanish, but English is spoken in the main tourist spots.
Travel Health
Health insurance, with provision for emergency repatriation, is compulsory for visitors to Cuba. Those travellers without adequate health insurance will be obliged to purchase Cuban health insurance on arrival. No vaccinations are officially required, however visitors are advised to take precautions against typhoid, particularly if travelling to rural areas. Vaccinations are also recommended for hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Most of the more serious tropical diseases are rare in Cuba, but viral meningitis and dengue fever do occasionally break out, even in urban areas like Havana. Dengue fever is on the increase in most of the Caribbean and the best prevention against it is mosquito repellent and suitable clothing to avoid being bitten. Rabies should only be a risk for those at risk of animal bites, but if you are planning to spend a lot of time outdoors a vaccination should be considered. Food in Cuba is generally considered safe. Bottled water is available and advised for the first few weeks, although mains water is chlorinated. Cuban medical facilities are mediocre and many medicines are unavailable, so those requiring regular prescription drugs should bring them with, along with a copy of the prescription and a doctor's letter to facilitate entry through customs.
Tipping in convertible pesos is very welcomed as salaries in the service industry are small. A 10 percent tip is appreciated in restaurants and by taxi drivers. Although giving out items like toothbrushes and pens is popularly recommended by travellers, this practice is sometimes frowned upon and certainly not necessary - service staff would almost always prefer a tip to these sorts of gifts.
Safety Information
Cuba is considered comparatively free from the threat of global terrorism, but has an increasing crime rate. Visitors are warned that theft from baggage during handling in airports is common, and valuables should not be packed in suitcases. Be wary of pickpockets and bag snatchers in Old Havana, at major tourist sites and on buses and trains. Visitors are advised to take taxis after dark rather than walk but you should always make sure taxis are registered and not just private cars. If there are political demonstrations of any kind during your holiday you should avoid them; Cuban authorities are known to clamp down on street protests quickly and sometimes violently. Tropical storms and hurricanes usually occur between June and November; although good warning is given, electricity, water and communications can be disrupted for weeks.
Local Customs
Visitors should address Cuban men as 'señor' and women as 'señora'. While many Cubans will engage in political discussion and debate, it is not advised to criticise the government too vocally, and one should be respectful of revolutionary figures such as Fidel Castro and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. Homosexuality is legal in Cuba but public displays of affection between same-sex couples are not always well-received by locals. The penalties for possession of illegal drugs are very strict, as are the penalties for any breach of Cuban immigration rules.
Cubans tend to be warm and hospitable, and business is conducted more informally than in many other countries. Establishing a good relationship is vital to successful business and some time may be given over to small talk. Due to relative isolation from the global economy, business in Cuba tends to take some time and effort, and one is often hemmed in by the country's communist practices. Punctuality is always important, but don't expect meetings to begin on time or deals to be struck quickly. The dress code tends to be more casual than elsewhere but businesspeople still usually wear collared shirts and the dress code for women is sophisticated. Business hours are usually about 8.30am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Some businesses are open every second Saturday.
The international access code for Cuba is +53. Public telephones are widely available for domestic as well as international calls, but international calls are expensive. Prepaid phone cards are available. Wifi availability in Cuba is expanding rapidly but there is still limited connectivity and internet access is often expensive. A prepaid NAUTA internet card is needed; which you can purchase from a ETECSA station located throughout major cities or at upscale hotels. Once you have a NAUTA card you will need to find a wifi hotspot, in a modern hotel or in a wifi park.
Duty Free
Travellers to Cuba over 18 years do not need to pay customs duty on 400 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 500g of tabacco; 2.5 litres of alcohol; medicines and perfume for personal use; and gifts to the value of CUC 60. The import and export of local currency is prohibited.

Up until now, Geohot has been known as a very talented hacker who unlocked the iDevices from Apple and hacked the PlayStation 3. However, Sony filed a lawsuit against Geohot at the beginning of this year for jailbreaking the PS3 and also requested for a restraining order (TRO) on the distribution of the jailbreak.
Now, George Hotz a.k.a Geohot has posted an explicit rap on his YouTube account explaining the lawsuit and challenging Sony as well. Readers can watch the video (NSFW lyrics) of the Geohot rap below :
Below are the full lyrics of the rap, for people who were unable to figure out what Geohot said in the above video :
Yo it's geohot
And for those who don't know
I'm getting sued by Sony
Let's take this out of the courtroom and into the streets
I'm a beast, at the least, you'll face me in the northeast
Get my ire up, light my fire
I'll go harder then Eminem went at Mariah
Call me a liar
Pound me in the ass with no lube, chafing
You're f*cking with the dude who got the keys to your safe and
Those that can't do bring suits
Cry to your Uncle Sam to settle disputes
Thought you'd tackle this with a little more tact
But then again fudgepackers, I don't know Jack
I shed a tear everytime I think of Lik Sang
But shit man, they're a corporation
And I'm a personification of freedom for all
You fill dockets, like thats a concept foreign to y'all
While lawyers muddy water and TROs stall
Out of business is jail for me
And you're suing me civilly
Exhibit this in the courtroom
Go on, do it, I dare you
First the jailbreak for iDevices, then the PS3 jailbreak and now this rap. Geohot sure is a talented guy!

Eagles - Desperado - lp -
If Don Henley was the sole member of the Eagles underrepresented on their debut album, Eagles, with only two lead vocals and one co-songwriting credit, he made up for it on their follow-up, the "concept" album Desperado. The concept had to do with Old West outlaws, but it had no specific narrative. On Eagles, the group had already begun to marry itself to a Southwest sound and lyrical references, from the Indian-style introduction of "Witchy Woman" to the Winslow, AZ, address in "Take It Easy." All of this became more overt on Desperado, and it may be that Henley, who hailed from Northeast Texas, had the greatest affinity for the subject matter. In any case, he had co-writing credits on eight of the 11 selections and sang such key tracks as "Doolin-Dalton" and the title song. What would become recognizable as Henley's lyrical touch was apparent on those songs, which bore a serious, world-weary tone. Henley had begun co-writing with Glenn Frey, and they contributed the album's strongest material, which included the first single, "Tequila Sunrise," and "Desperado" (strangely never released as a single). But where Eagles seemed deliberately to balance the band's many musical styles and the talents of the band's members, Desperado, despite its overarching theme, often seemed a collection of disparate tracks -- "Out of Control" was a raucous rocker, while "Desperado" was a painfully slow ballad backed by strings -- with other bandmembers' contributions tacked on rather than integrated. Randy Meisner was down to two co-writing credits and one lead vocal ("Certain Kind of Fool"), while Bernie Leadon's two songs, "Twenty-One" and "Bitter Creek," seemed to come from a different record entirely. The result was an album that was simultaneously more ambitious and serious-minded than its predecessor and also slighter and less consistent.

SAVAGE, Md. (AP) — Howard County Executive Ken Ulman plans to break ground on backup generators and solar panels that will be installed at the Little Patuxent Water Reclamation Plant.
Last year, Hurricane Sandy knocked out electrical lines to the plant, causing a large overflow of untreated sewage. Ulman said at the time that such an overflow should never happen again.
Now the plant is adding large backup generators and new solar panels to make the plant more green and less dependent on a single source of electricity. Ulman will break ground for the project Monday morning.
Officials say the added solar capabilities and the reduced potential for accidental overflows are significant steps in the environmental protection of the Little Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay.

Tongan woman admits guilt in widespread immigration scam
21 February 2013
Tongan woman admits guilt in widespread immigration scam
A woman has appeared in court to admit her part in a widespread immigration scam in the Tongan community.
Tongan national Khadijah Lolohea (also known as Khadijah PIU), of Mt Roskill, Auckland, pleaded guilty to providing immigration advice without a licence at Auckland District court yesterday (20 February 2013).
The nine charges were brought by the Immigration Advisers Authority following a multi-agency investigation.
Authority Registrar Barry Smedts said: "This is a significant result for the Immigration Advisers Authority. Victims had to trust us. They had to trust that reporting Lolohea to the Immigration Advisers Authority would not affect their visa applications. And they had to trust that, if they were in New Zealand illegally, the Authority had no power to deport them."
Lolohea, 38, is to appear for sentencing on 23 May 2013.
The Immigration Advisers Authority licenses immigration advisers and takes complaints against immigration advisers. Find out more at www.iaa.govt.nz.
The Immigration Advisers Authority was set up in May 2008 to regulate immigration advice internationally.
It is responsible
• licensing immigration advisers.
• receiving complaints about licensed and unlicensed immigration advisers.
• investigating people giving immigration advice without a licence.
• maintaining a register of licensed immigration advisers.
Under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 only those people who are licensed or exempt are able to give immigration advice about New Zealand. A person who provides immigration advice without being licensed or exempt commits an offence.

Updated at 1:25 a.m. ET: Rock legends ranging from Roger Waters to The Rolling Stones to Paul McCartney with Nirvana joined together Wednesday night for a massive six-hour concert to raise money for the Robin Hood Relief Fund benefiting victims of superstorm Sandy.
The musicians set a serious tone, wearing mostly black and gray onstage as they encouraged people to call and donate money to help those affected by the devastating storm that killed at least 140 people and destroyed or damaged homes and properties in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and other areas.
Alicia Keys, who grew up in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, closed the show with her New York anthem "Empire State of Mind," as doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers and others joined the piano-playing singer onstage. They ended the night chanting "U.S.A."
Keys was one of two women who performed at "The Concert for Sandy Relief." Diana Krall backed McCartney, who sang his solo songs, Beatles songs and played the role of Kurt Cobain with Nirvana members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band kicked off the concert with "Land of Hope and Dreams," and followed it up with "Wrecking Ball."
"Tonight, this is a prayer for all of our struggling brothers and sisters," Springsteen said. After performing a third song, the rocker brought out Jon Bon Jovi, and the pair sang "Born to Run" together.
"I can't believe that Bruce Springsteen is my opening act," Billy Crystal joked after the set. "You can feel the electricity in the building, which means Long Island Power isn't involved." He also reminded viewers about the devastation the storm left behind. "More than 100 people died ... entire neighborhoods wiped out. ... Tonight with your help, we are going to emerge stronger than before."
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, who recently toured with his show "Roger Waters The Wall Live," performed "In the Flesh" and "Another Brick in the Wall" from the band's classic album. He then launched into "Money" and "Us and Them" from "Dark Side of the Moon."
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder then joined the group for "Comfortably Numb," taking turns on the lyrics with Waters.

Roger Waters performed songs from "The Wall" and "Dark Side of the Moon."
Adam Sandler then took the stage with Paul Shaffer on piano for a little fun, with the comedian tweaking the lyrics to "Hallelujah" to suit the evening. "Hallelujah, Sandy screw ya! We'll get through you, 'cause we're New Yorkers!" the duo sang.
During the show, celebrities -- including Susan Sarandon, Ben Stiller and Jake Gyllenhaal -- manned the phone bank to handle call-in donations. There were so many stars there to help, "You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a celebrity," Brian Williams joked during the concert.
"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart also made an appearance to urge viewers to donate. She reminded the audience of the massive amount of damage that the storm left behind. "Now is your chance to be Jersey Strong with us," she said before introducing Bon Jovi's performance. The Jersey native kicked off his set with "It's My Life."
"When this storm hit, we all knew that the healing process would be beginning, but that it was going to take a long time," the rocker said. "(The performers) knew the people we were doing it for wouldn't be able to hear us, to see us. ... This recovery is not going to be quick. ... But we are strong. We are New York. We are New Jersey."

Jon Bon Jovi performed "Livin' on a Prayer" and other hits during his set.
Eric Clapton also delivered an energetic set of his own that included "Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out" and "Crossroad Blues."
He was followed by The Rolling Stones, who were introduced by Jimmy Fallon. Frontman Mick Jagger encouraged the crowd to dance and cheer as the band launched into "You Got Me Rocking" and the singer showed off his own slinky moves.
"This has got to be the largest collection of old English musicians ever assembled in Madison Square Garden," Jagger later joked of the night's lineup.

Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones perform.
Comedian Stephen Colbert also added to the humor. He said that when Sir Paul McCartney asked him for advice on being cool, he told the musician to lose the hair cut and the accent. Colbert then pointed out that helping is also cool. So cool, in fact, that it's like "doing a line of uncut goodwill" and that donating "is the new skinny jeans."
New Yorker Alicia Keys later delivered an emotion-packed performance, first with new tune "Brand New Me" then "No One." After the two-song set, she said, "My city, New York City, is the most resilient city."
After the slower set, The Who kicked things back into high gear with an energetic performance of "Who Are You?" during which singer Roger Daltrey seemingly dropped an F-bomb. While performing "Bell Boy," the band showed video of drummer Keith Moon, who died in 1978. Images and videos switched to those of the storm's destruction during "See Me, Feel Me." They ended their long set with "Tea and Theater" and a loud expletive for beer instead.
Like Colbert earlier, comedian Chris Rock used his humor to urge viewers to donate what they could. "We have raised so much money tonight, the shift's over! We fixed everything! Jersey's fixed, Staten Island, it's all like Beverly Hills right now!" he joked. "Now please go online and donate! One hundred percent of the money raised tonight will go to me! No, to the Robin Hood Relief Fund."
He then introduced the "always humble" Kanye West, who performed "Mercy," "Jesus Walks," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Gold Digger" (a seemingly odd song choice, considering the purpose of the concert) and more.
Kanye was followed by Billy Joel, who started his set with "Miami 2017." The Piano Man had also performed the tune at a benefit concert for the Sept. 11 attacks and an earlier Hurricane Sandy show. His performance also included "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "New York State of Mind," "River of Dreams," "You May Be Right" and closed with "Only the Good Die Young."
Chris Martin of Coldplay was then introduced by actress Blake Lively. The rocker appeared on stage alone with just a guitar in his hands to perform the hit song "When I Ruled the World."
"I'm so grateful to be here. ... I know you really wanted One Direction, but it's way past their bedtime, so you get one quarter of Coldplay," Martin joked. "I tried to get the guy from 'Gangnam Style,' he wasn't available." Instead, R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe appeared and the pair did a duet of the hit "Losing My Religion." According to Brian Williams, Stipe was a surprise performer, even to those who planned the show.
Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz introduced Sir Paul McCartney.
"I love New York!" the former Beatle declared before kicking off the band's rocking tune "Helter Skelter," followed by "Let Me Roll It," "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five," "My Valentine" and "Blackbird."
"So recently some guys asked me to go jam with them," McCartney said. "So I showed up, ready to jam, and in the middle of it, these guys said, 'Well, we haven't played together in years, you know?' ... I finally understood I was in the middle of the Nirvana reunion!"
The Beatle then jammed with Nirvana's Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear to a new rock tune. Afterward, he took on the Fab Four's "I've Got a Feeling" and followed up with a firework-infused performance of Wings' "Live and Let Die."
McCartney ended his set by asking "the heroes of Hurricane Sandy" on stage and shaking their hands. He then brought Keys back to wrap up the show with her anthem to the city, "Empire State of Mind."
"Dedicated to all the heroes in New York and beyond," the songstress said in closing.
The show, which started at 7:30 p.m. ET at New York's Madison Square Garden, was broadcast live on 37 television stations in the United States and more than 200 others worldwide. It was to be streamed on 30 websites.

A couple members of the Barbour team had the honor of witnessing a speaking engagement by the incomparable Dana Tanamachi at Create Upstate in Syracuse last week. The event itself was terrific, from the impressive venue (great food, btw), awesome vendors, and stellar lineup of speakers. One highlight was undoubtedly the inspirational work and philosophy of Tanamachi. Honestly, we're not saying anything new here, just bowing down, as most who are exposed to her transcendent work tend to do. Texas-bred, Brooklyn-based Tanamachi, whose lettering work is quite ubiquitous (you've probably seen it, or a rip-off of it, and may not have realized it was hers), seems quite gracious, humble, passionate and sincere when discussing her craft. She's not some Brooklyn hipster who is too cool for school. Her tremendous talents seemed to have emerged over time, and her rise in the design world happened organically, which we truly admire. Tanamachi is a rock star among our peers, and we are just happy to have spent an engaging hour in her presence. Here's a small sampling of her formidable body of work… prepare to drool.

Regarding the different MF camera systems, is there anyone using the RZ67 Pro II with a digital back? It seems this was the best MF system ever made to a lot of pros, even better than Hassy V. I'm not using MF digital, but if I was about to make the transition, it would be very hard for me to choose between the Contax 645 or RZ67, even though, the Contax is WAY better for the smaller-than-645 chips we have now. Another thing - I find it quite sad that Hasselblad hasn't given Michael any backs to be tested. The Hassy/Imacon backs and the Leaf backs appeal to me the most, however, the Hassy backs are just so flexible with the I-Adapters that you screw on for whatever camera you're using. Seems like a MUCH better system, and I hope Leaf and Phase start doing the same thing. The thing is, I don't hear that much about Hassy backs at all. Do they even compare to Phase and Leaf? Why is there so little talk on the Hassy backs? The only thing I hear about are the complete packages, like the H1D or the H2D. I never read or hear anything regarding their stand-alone backs. It seems in the case of stand-alone backs, Phase and Leaf get all the business.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=76078\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Evaluating the effects of preservation on isotopic signatures of Sr, O, and C is critical to the use of these tracers in reconstructing salinity and temperature gradients in ancient oceans. We have analyzed a series of samples from the Baculites compressus zone of the Pierre Shale (Campanian) of South Dakota. Samples included outer shell material and septa of cephalopods from inside and outside concretions. Preservation was evaluated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And SEM preservation index (PI) was established based on comparison of the microstructure of fossil material with that of modern analogs. For example, the nacreous microstructure of cephalopod shells was rated excellent (PI=5) if, by comparison with modern Nautilus, the nacreous plates were well defined with discrete, angular boundaries. In contrast, samples showing fused nacreous plates with indistinct boundaries were rated poor (PI=1). 87Sr/86Sr ratio vary with preservation and average 0.707311±0.000176 (n=13) for PI = 1 to 2, 0.7.7591±0.000055 (n=13) for PI = 3 to 4, and 0.707656±0.000067 (n=8) for PI = 4.5 to 5. In comparison, seawater 87Sr/86Sr for B. compressus time has been estimated to be 0.707674 (McArthur et al. 1994). That data suggests that, as preservation declines, the mean 87Sr/86Sr ratio decreases and the variation of the ratio increases. Oxygen and carbon isotopic analyses of the same samples show similar trends with preservation, and δ18O, δ13C and 87SR/86Sr are well correlated, suggesting that these tracers are all altered as preservation decreases. We concluded that SEM preservation criteria are effective in screening shell material that records original isotopic signatures and that variations in Sr, O, and C isotopic composition in well-preserved material can be used to assess paleoenvironmental parameters, such as salinity and temperature.

The judge — who is gay and should have recused himself — justified his ruling in part by noting that no "demonstrated harm as a result" of same-sex marriage could be shown, which could have made blocking it justified. This is undoubtedly true but also astonishingly irrelevant. The law could conceivably require that everyone wear a wizard's hat every Saturday at 6 PM; the point is not that it is "good" or can be demonstrated to be "harmful," but whether it violates any existing protections.
The more serious argument, then, is that Proposition 8 violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment — which has been abused to justify everything from affirmative action to tax increases. The judge wrote that "gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage" and that it is not a component of it that can be taken into account when defining it under the law. I happen to agree with him, but that's something to tell to a legislature or the citizenry, not to a judge, who is there only to decide whether everything is being enacted according to an enumerated process. Californians are entitled to decide for themselves what's essential to marriage.
And that's what's at the bottom of this: justice, properly understood, is a process, not a result. The law is not there to bend and bash until you get what you want from it. In a free and ordered society, we simply have to resign ourselves to the fact that the legislature is sometimes wrong and that the culture is sometimes a bit off. If your interpretation of the Constitution just so happens to align with all of your political views, you're probably interpreting it wrongly. I want to see same-sex marriage enacted in the United States. But I want it to be done lawfully and orderly, not by judges who think it's their job to save the world rather than to follow the law.

It was business as usual yesterday for BTS leader waw_3card, who extended his Major League-leading streak to 31 games thanks to — who else? — Ichiro Suzuki, who singled in three at-bats to extend his streak to 27 games.
Also thanks to Ichiro, ace21dlr remains one game behind waw_3card with a 29-game streak.
All in all, 21 of the Top 25 users advanced by picking Ichiro, but they'll all have to find someone else to keep their dreams of attaining the $1 million-plus top prize alive, as the Mariners are off today — stay tuned!

5 Comments
so im looking at the leaders page and i see that if everyone gets the right pick today, 14 people could be at 30 or more tomorrow. Ive been playing this since 04 and have never seen that many people at or above 30 EVER.
The top two have taken the same player, Tejada,
Last time the top two did this, last weekend, the player did NOT get a hit..
170 people have streaks of 20 or more though i did notice while doing a quick look through to see where the 20 ended, a few people FORGOT to make picks today
jason Kubel continues to kill Carmona, two HRs today.
Youkilis 0-for-1 and replaced in the Boston game.
Ten people over 20 lose streaks
The top two have taken the same player, Tejada,
Last time the top two did this, last weekend, the player did NOT get a hit…..Thanks for the jinx…
I thought you did not lose your streak if the player you selected did not play. Orlando Hudson did not play but I lost my streak.
ROFL wasnt trying to jinx anyone, just thought it funny that the top two had the same player, just like last weekend.
Lambo, as for your streak if hudson did not record an official at bat, you do NOT lose your streak

HIGHLIGHTS:SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 5, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Forte Design Systems, a provider of SystemC-based high-level synthesis (HLS) and arithmetic IP.
Driven by increasing IP complexity and the need for rapid retargeting of IP to derivative architectures, the high-level synthesis market segment has grown beyond early adopters toward mainstream adoption, as design teams migrate from hand-coded RTL design to SystemC-based design and verification. The addition of Forte's synthesis and IP products to the Cadence C-to-Silicon Compiler offering will enable Cadence to further drive a SystemC standard flow for design and multi-language verification.
"Growth in the high-level synthesis market segment is accelerating," said Charlie Huang, senior vice president of the System & Verification Group and Worldwide Field Operations at Cadence. "HLS tools are now addressing a broader application space and producing equal or better quality of results than hand-coded RTL, fueling worldwide adoption and production deployment amongst leading companies. We look forward to welcoming Forte's technology and skilled team to Cadence to help address this opportunity."
Forte brings high quality of results (QoR) for datapath-centric designs, world-class arithmetic IP, valuable SystemC IP and IP development tools. Forte's Cynthesizer HLS product features strong support for memory scheduling, especially for highly parallel or pipelined designs. These strengths complement the high QoR for transaction-level modeling, under-the-hood RTL synthesis and incremental ECO support featured by Cadence C-to-Silicon Compiler.
"Cadence and Forte have compatible approaches to high-level synthesis, and a similar vision to enable migration of design to the system level," said Sean Dart, CEO of Forte. "The combination will benefit customers through a standardized system-level flow, improved product capabilities for both customer bases, and integration all the way to silicon."
The acquisition is expected to close within 30 days. Taking into account the effects of merger accounting, the transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to Cadence's 2014 results of operations and accretive in 2015 and beyond. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
About Cadence
Cadence enables global electronic design innovation and plays an essential role in the creation of today's integrated circuits and electronics. Customers use Cadence software, hardware, IP, and services to design and verify advanced semiconductors, consumer electronics, networking and telecommunications equipment, and computer systems.

More information about the company, its products, and services is available at www.cadence.com.
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements above regarding Cadence's expected benefits of the pending acquisition of Forte, when Cadence expects to complete the transaction, and the impact of the transaction to Forte, Cadence's 2014 results of operations and the global high-level synthesis market that are based on current expectations or beliefs, as well as a number of preliminary assumptions about future events that are subject to factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside Cadence's control, including, among others: (i) failure or inability to consummate the acquisition, effects of the acquisition on Cadence's financial results, the effect of regulatory approval requirements, the potential inability to successfully operate or integrate Forte's business, including the potential inability to retain customers, key employees or vendors; (ii) the effect of the announcement of the acquisition on Cadence's and Forte's respective businesses, including the possibility that the announcement may result in delays in customers' purchases of products or services; (iii) Cadence's ability to compete successfully in the electronic design automation product and the commercial electronic design and methodology services industries; (iv) the success of Cadence's efforts to improve operational efficiency and growth; (v) the mix of products and services sold and the timing of significant orders for Cadence's products; (vi) change in customer demands, including those resulting from consolidation among Cadence's customers and the possibility that the restructurings and other efforts to improve operational efficiency of Cadence's customers could result in delays in purchases of Cadence's products and services; (vii) economic and industry conditions in regions in which Cadence does business; (viii) fluctuations in rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of other countries in which Cadence and Forte do business; (ix) capital expenditure requirements, legislative or regulatory requirements, interest rates and Cadence's ability to access capital and debt markets; (x) the acquisition of other companies or technologies or the failure to successfully integrate and operate these companies or technologies Cadence acquires, including the potential inability to retain customers, key employees or vendors; (xi) the effects of Cadence's efforts to improve operational efficiency on Cadence's business, including its strategic and customer relationships, and its ability to retain key employees; (xii) events that affect the reserves or settlement assumptions Cadence may take from time to time with respect to accounts receivable, taxes, litigation or other matters; and (xiii) the effects of any litigation or other proceedings to which Cadence is or may become a party.

LONDON — This cannot be how Andy Murray imagined it, or how anybody imagined it. He had failed to slay the dragon on this same court four weeks ago, losing to Roger Federer in the final at Wimbledon, his heart cracked open for all to see. "I'm getting closer," he said that day, choking with emotion, trying to hold it together. He nearly did.
Sunday, Andy Murray got another chance on the same court, but in a very different place. This time, he never wavered. This time, it did not rain. This time, the Scot refused to be cracked open at all. This time, he won.
"The biggest win of my life," said Murray immediately after winning gold with a shocking 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 win over Federer, the world's No. 1 player. Later, he said, "I have lost some tough matches; I've had a lot of questions asked about me, many times. So I'm glad that today I was able to put on the performance that I've been waiting for, I guess."
He was not the only one waiting. No British man has won Wimbledon since 1936, but no British man had won Olympic tennis gold since the Games here in 1908, and this one came as part of a gold rush that crested across the country like a wave. Six gold medals Saturday, each one building on the last, and Murray played in the afterglow Sunday. He admitted to nerves early, and faced two break points on his first service game.
But his coach, Ivan Lendl, had told him beforehand he would never face as much pressure as he had in the Wimbledon final, and Murray played without fear. It was strangely seamless, considering. With a raucous crowd behind him and a strangely flat Federer across the net, he simply played the match of his life.
"He was better than I was today," said Federer, who had won every major singles title but Olympic gold. "It's easy to come back [after losing Wimbledon], best-of-three, you know, go out third round maybe. You just feel more horrible. But he didn't do that. He came, he won gold. I think this is how champions react."
The last best chance to make it a match may have come during a 19-point game with Murray serving at 2-0 in the second set, but Murray did not allow Federer to convert any of his seven break points. Late in the game, he pinned Murray deep with a backhand down the line, perfectly placed; Murray chased it down, like he chased everything down, and sent an eye-popping two-handed backhand back up the line. From 2-2 in the first set, Murray would win nine straight games. He dropped one point on his service in the third set. As Federer put it, "he never looked back."
Federer had begun the tournament with a harrowing 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 win over Colombia's Alejandro Falla, and in the semifinals against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, he won the third set 19-17 and del Potro, back to being a massive terror after two years of injuries, laid his head on Federer's shoulder when it was over.
"Look, Olympics don't come around every year," said Federer. "God, I had tears in my eyes after my first-round match, believe it or not. Doing media I think, on court. I almost broke down. I can't believe this is happening. But this is how much this meant to me. I understood how close I was from losing.
"Every Olympics has been a life-changer for me, to be quite honest, in Sydney, in Athens, and Beijing ... you appreciate other sports, appreciate winning, losing. I love watching sports because of the reactions of the people at the very end. How do they take wins? How do they take losses? All these things ... Obviously, the del Potro match ... I'm happy I had a match like this, even though it may have cost me the finals. Who knows?"
This, for Murray, was a life-changer. At the very end Murray pounded a service winner and consecutive aces to finish it, nerveless, and then dropped his racquet, covered his face in his hands, half-crumpled to the ground, laying his palms flat on what was left of the grass. But he did not crack open, not quite, and he recovered to greet Federer at the net. Murray said he was surprised at how calm he felt, how peaceful. He was not sure why. He sang along with God Save The Queen on the podium, just enough, which angered a few people back home.
But he won this for Britain, not just for Scotland. He deserved to choose how to act, in victory. There is a theory that the 25-year-old Murray points to the sky after a victory in honour of the 16 children and a teacher massacred by a gunman at his school in Dunblane when he was eight years old — he and his brother Jamie hid in the gymnasium that day — but he would not confirm that. "Yeah, there is a meaning behind it," he said. "But it's for me, and the guys around me. They know why I do it." A wise Scottish reporter said he believed Murray would never besmirch the memory by making it public. That he has to keep it private, to keep it pure.
Murray played for gold in mixed doubles with Laura Robson just over an hour later, against Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus. He lost that match, 2-6, 6-3 and 10-8 in the tiebreak, and you could see how much he wanted that, too. He smacked the net when it was over. He said he was gutted.
But Andy Murray won the day, nonetheless. This tournament is stuffed with millionaires, but the Olympics are different. The huge golem of a man, del Potro, broke down after losing the semi, and after winning the bronze; Federer said, quite seriously, "I hope, you know, the Swiss are proud of me." And Murray found the greatest day of his life. He was asked if this meant more than winning Wimbledon would have.
"I got asked that question a lot before," he said, in his slow, dry, quiet brogue. "I got asked it a lot this week. I would love to win Wimbledon, for sure. But this felt good. And I wouldn't change this for anything right now, that's for sure."

Sky-watchers have seen a harvest moon, the rare super blood moon total eclipse and now a new lunar event is on the horizon.
On Sept. 30, the "black moon" will rise in the sky, but catching a glimpse of it might prove impossible. It's invisible.
Though the term "black moon" isn't recognized by NASA, according to Joe Rao of Space.com, it's an astronomical phenomenon where, every couple of years, the moon is completely blanketed in darkness twice in one month.
U.S. & World
The last new moon was on Sept. 1 and the "black moon" will rise on Friday at 8:11 p.m. ET. All new moons can't be seen with the naked eye because the side of the moon that's lit by the sun is facing away from Earth. It will take a few days for slivers of silver to peek out again.
"It doesn't happen all the time, but it's not particularly rare," Ian O'Neill, an astrophysicist and the senior producer for space at Discovery News and Seeker.com told The Los Angeles Times.
It also doesn't spell the end of the world, experts say. It's just how the moon works.
Conspiracy theorists claim the episode will "bring with it worldwide destruction and the second coming of Jesus Christ," the Express paper in England reported.
The most recent "black moon" was in March 2014 and about 32 months before that.
According to National Geographic, the black moon does not predict our demise, but instead, a fresh start.
"If anything, this black moon is a harbinger of new beginnings and festivities: On the evening of October 2, the barely visible waxing crescent moon will shine on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year," the magazine explained. "And on October 3, the growing crescent will mark the beginning of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic lunar calendar."
O'Neill pegged all the hubbub to online frenzy.
"When you have anything that's the least bit foreboding in the night sky, the media jumps on it," he said. "Social media has a huge part to play. These things go viral."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Gate River Run Expo opened Thursday morning for runners to start picking up their race packets and browse related items.
As Saturday's 37th annual event approaches, organizers said it's possible this year's expo and 15K race will break a record, with about 20,000 runners.
Jane Alred organizes the expo, which has grown leaps and bounds since it started years ago. She said it wasn't last year but the year before that set a record number for the amount of people in the run, and this year is at pace to beat it.
"It could be a record," Alred said. "The weather is going to be perfect, it sounds like at this point. I don't want to jinx it though."
"The expo is an integral part of the race," Alred added. "We have all of the major shoe companies coming and [will be] having all of their latest and newest product here."
Companies like Nike and Adidas will be among the 100-plus vendors showcasing their latest products and technology, but a couple smaller, local companies are also setting up shop, iincluding a new one out of Fernandina Beach that makes sweat bands.
"Really innovative, new little product, a little accessory for running," Alred said. "It's nice to see a small company like that kind of get launched at the expo, too."
The Gate River Run, the country's largest 15K, will take off Saturday.
It's a growing event all around. The number of race participants and companies looking to showcase their products at the race expo, which started in a small hotel room, gets bigger every year.
"We've tried to create more spaces, but you know, it's just so hard within the confines of the booth," Alred said. "We've had to turn people away for about a month now, but we just don't really have anywhere to expand."
In addition to the vendors, runners also got a chance to meet running coach and best selling author Hal Higdon. His latest book 4:09:43 tells the story of 75 people running in the Boston Marathon during the bombings last year, in a single narrative. It's a story he believes every runner can connect with.
"I think I want them to meet Boston, because in some respects, the book is less about the terrorists and the victims and it's more about the runners in the race, how they experienced that day," Higdon said.
Of course Higdon is always asked how to best prepare for the Gate River Run. He has two words: Start slow. He tells runners not to get too excited.
"The bands are going, the people are there, everybody's cheering, high-fiving, and there's that tendency to get out too fast, particularly if you've seated yourself too far in the field," Higdon said. "So you really have to relax until you get over the Main Street Bridge."
The expo is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday for a few hours during the race as well.
The expo is located at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds, 510 Fairgrounds Place, across Duval Street from EverBank Field. Event organizers ask that visitors park in the stadium parking lots across from the Fairgrounds.
"It's very exciting to come and get your race shirt and your mug. It's just a great race," runner Brianne Toole said. "There's so much merchandise and all the gear and everybody's just all excited, and yes, it gets you all excited for the race."
In addition to products being sold, several medical vendors will be there to answer questions, too.

Gravity and magnetic surveys involve measuring the Earth's gravitational and magnetic fields using highly sensitive instruments. These Potential Field measurements can be made on the Earth surface, both on land and the sea bottom, from ships or from aircraft.
The data from the surveys are processed in a number of ways but usually produce some form of anomaly value, i.e. a variation from what would normally be expected at that point. These gravity and magnetic anomalies can be attributed to variations in the Earth's crust and are a major asset in mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, as well as furthering our understanding of the deeper Earth structure and processes.
The database comprises over 155 000 gravity observations covering the whole of Great Britain.
Most of the surveys were carried out by the BGS but the database includes data originally acquired by other organisations and subsequently given to the BGS to be managed as part of the national archive.
The Bouguer gravity anomaly records for the whole of Great Britain are available for free download.
More about the Land gravity survey data
A regional aeromagnetic survey of Great Britain was carried out as a series of surveys flown between 1955 and 1965.
Flying height mostly 1000 feet (305 m) with 2 km line separation.

As U.S. Senate candidates Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina square off this evening in their first, and perhaps only, debate, California voters will be interested in one issue more than any other – jobs.
That's to be expected considering that the Golden State has the nation's third-highest unemployment rate, with more than 2.2 million residents out of work.
Those idle workers really don't want to hear Democrat Boxer and Republican Fiorina spend much of their debate jawboning about same sex marriage, illegal immigration, off-shore drilling, health care and other such matters.
In fact, in a statewide survey by the Public Policy Institute of California, jobs was listed as "the most import issue facing people in California today" at least three times more than any of the aforementioned non-pocketbook issues.
So what Californians will pay closest attention to in this evening's debate is how the competing Senate candidates would go about rebooting the moribund economy and creating jobs.
While a lone U.S. Senator cannot accomplish such an undertaking on her own, she certainly can join with likeminded Senate colleagues to promote policy and pursue legislation that stimulates economic growth and foments job creation.
Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, would appear to have a decided advantage on the jobs issue over Boxer, who claims to be a job creator but whose bonafides have been challenged.
Indeed, two of California largest business organizations, the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association, recently endorsed Fiorina, the political neophyte, over Boxer, the three-term Senate incumbent.
The former HP CEO "has created private sector jobs," explained Allan Zaremberg, the Chamber's president and CEO. While Boxer "has made it increasingly difficult for manufacturers to do business," added CMTA President Jack Stewart.
Of course, Boxer has faced accusations of championing "job-killing policies" in previous elections, yet she always has managed to return to office. But this election year could prove different.
For if California's junior Senator fails to make a strong case, between this evening and November, that she will better represent the interests of the Golden State's 2.2 million jobless workers than her challenger, she might very well find herself out of work come the next Congress.

The show will give the funnyman's "unvarnished, unfiltered take on current events, politics and pop culture," the network said in a statement to Access Hollywood – with plenty of audience interaction too.
"I am so excited I'm on the point of climax, in fact I will put the 'O' into FX, which spells FOX, which is actually the channel's real name," the actor/comedian said in a statement. "That's the only thing that worries me about all this to be honest. At least I'll be able to have a Christmas drink with Bill O'Reilly."

"Flight of the Conchords" producer Troy Miller is teaming up with Russell for the series – something the network believes will push the envelope of TV comedy.
"We're very excited to add Russell Brand's bracingly funny, original, and honest voice to the FX comedy line-up," Nick Grad, Executive Vice President, Original Programming at FX said in a statement. "We look forward to supporting Russell and his partner Troy Miller's ambition to strip down the hosted comedy format to its most fundamental elements and to create something daring and unfiltered for the FX audience."
Russell's late-night show is slated to debut in spring 2012.

"We saw an interest forming in products and joint, integrated solutions by Fujitsu and NetApp during a visit to the Fujitsu IT Future conference. In light of the lack of internal expertise in building a "private cloud" we relied completely on the recommendation of the manufacturer Fujitsu and the integrator Inforada. In July 2013 a joint project was launched, the results of which exceeded our expectations"
