The already impressive Ford Focus range is now a whole lot smoother with the new Ford Focus XR5 Turbo.
"It was all about finding the fine line between sporty presence and discreet presentation. The Focus XR5 Turbo emanates performance as well as practicality. The new Focus has excellent proportions; so giving it more sporting appeal was a sure winner. The distinguishing design characteristics of the Focus XR5 Turbo don't just look great, they also serve a function. As the turbo intake needed a lot of fresh air, the air intakes on the front spoiler had to be enlarged. Not enough air came through an initial version, and it took a lighter radiator grille design with less air resistance to get thermal issues under control." said Ford TeamRS Chief Designer Chris Clements
On the outside, the front bumper has been emphasised to give the Focus XR5 Turbo a lowered look incorporating an aggressive inverted-trapezoid lower grille. Flanking the top of the lower grille, fog lamp openings are trimmed in brushed aluminium.Sporty and performance oriented from every angle, the Focus XR5 Turbo's design reflects the elegance and calmness of a superior athlete. 18" alloy wheels sit proudly beneath pronounced wheel arches. Aquatic fins on the rear wheel arches project a look of purposeful intent. Plus a lower, athletic stance, twin chrome exhausts and high level rear light clusters reflect the Focus XR5 Turbo's passion for smooth, superior performance.
"The fastback stretches the rear of the new Focus, and the larger XR5 rear spoiler provides a nice contrast. The car looks like it's taking off," said Clements.
The designers also wanted to achieve a greater presence in the lower body sections. They wanted a rear end with imposing exhaust pipes, while engine technicians wanted a large tailpipe so their impressive work would be signed off with a striking acoustic signature. Engineers soon came up with an answer in the form of a voluminous silencer, mounted laterally with two exhaust pipes coming out of its sides. This booming addition to the car couldn't be mounted on the volume production Focus bodyshell because of the spare tyre housing, so the lower section of the luggage space on the XR5 is removed and the remaining hole covered.
While the exterior of the new Ford Focus XR5 Turbo clearly signals its performance credentials; the interior also communicates this Focus is something special. Focus XR5 Turbo gains a unique additional instrument pod, incorporated on the upper instrument panel, creating an immediate visual impact that differentiates XR5 from the standard Focus.Key information for the performance driver – turbocharger boost pressure, oil temperature and oil pressure – is clearly displayed by a new instrument cluster.
The new gauges, as well as the speedometer, tachometer, temperature and fuel gauges in the primary instrument cluster, are given a new graphic design ringed in aluminium opal to match other brushed aluminium interior accents. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has an increased rim section with prominent thumb grips and a classic three spoke design finished in brushed aluminium, while the XR5's leather trimmed, brushed aluminium gear knob features a red six-speed gate graphic.
On opening the door of, the driver is greeted by a warm and inviting ambience, with bold and sporty cues throughout. Focus XR5 Turbo Colour and Material Designer Serife Uenal was instrumental in the process of developing the interior. "Customers will immediately get a sporty feeling when they see the XR5 interior. Our inspiration was the latest styles for sports shoes and clothing.The use of colour, textures and materials, and distinctive stitch lines give a very different, personal feel to the interior. The treatment is very subtle, and the detailing is very attractive."
Unique, stylish Recaro front seats are standard on the Focus XR5 Turbo, providing optimal lateral support during spirited driving. The seats assist in anchoring driver and passengers in place, providing occupants with a cosseted feeling – as if the car has been built around them.
Matching leather inserts differentiate the interior door panels and complement special brushed aluminium XR5 door pulls. Other details inside include purpose-designed performance pedals with rubber pads set in cast aluminium and unique XR5 scuff plates. Focus XR5 Turbo features a black headliner and black A-pillars, further enhancing the sporty 'cockpit feel' of the interior.
Six different exterior colours will be available on the Focus XR5 Turbo – Panther Black, Sea Grey, Moondust Silver, Colorado Red, Performance Blue and Electric Orange. Panther Black and Colorado Red are teamed with a dark flint cloth bolster with red inserts, while customers choosing Sea Grey, Moondust Silver or Performance Blue will have a dark flint cloth bolster with grey inserts. The eye-catching premium Electric Orange exterior is mated with a dark flint cloth bolster and orange inserts.
The interior insert colours wrap around and beneath the head restraints, on the side bolster cushions of the seat backs, and along the edges of the base seat cushion. An ebony leather option is available with all exterior colours, which transforms the XR5 into a four seater with unique leather Recaro bucket seats formed in the rear seat cushion and squab.
"We had to move the vehicle forward and in particular upwards with engine performance. The goal was to give the car more than 150 kW," says Ford TeamRS Director Jost Capito."When it comes to providing a solid basis for performance and torque, you can't beat extra displacement, so cubic capacity was at the top of our wish list," said Hoffmann. "And since various competitors in its class are already 'highly charged,' we also set about finding a turbocharger appropriate for the project's needs."
Bore is a relatively small 83 mm, while the stroke ends up being relatively long at 93 mm. Hoffmann discounted the traditional stories about long-stroke engines not coping with high revs as unfounded in the XR5, thanks to the combined efforts of cylinders and turbocharger.
"The long stroke action doesn't dampen the sporting dynamics of this engine in any way, and the whole package remains calm and collected. It keeps its cool when doing its job because the rev count stays well within civilised limits," says Hoffmann.
Peak power of 166 kW is realised at 6000 rpm and the maximum 320 Nm of torque is available from a user-friendly 1600 rpm through to 4000 rpm. Hoffmann explained the high performance levels of the XR5 were achieved without sacrificing reliability and durability. "At moderate engine speeds the mechanical loading of the crankshaft drive remains modest despite high operating pressures.The superb power development of the five-cylinder engine also ensures smooth running. Typically, high performance four cylinder engines can face noticeable second order inertial forces. The XR5 engine, with five pistons as well as five forged and finely weighted rods is not affected by them. The second-order inertial forces have been successfully cancelled out by two counterweights on each of the crankshaft's pins," said Hoffmann.
While initial testing of the new Focus XR5 Turbo powerplant was achieving all its goals, the engine note was not matching its dynamic capabilities. A clever sound design was needed, and a touch of intake noise really brought the sporty Focus to life.
A purposeful rumbling at idle was easy to organise with late ignition timing in the idle phase," says Hoffman. But the five-cylinder's sound became really convincing when the team ran a thin hose from the area between the charge air cooler and throttle valve right up behind the bulkhead, transmitting the powerplant's definite respiration 'live' into the cockpit thanks to a sophisticated device dubbed "the symposer". Working like a mechanical loudspeaker, this new element was calibrated to bring a gentle amount of engine intake sound a bit closer to the driver. "Now the interior acoustics almost give the impression of sitting in one of the Focus' famous motorsport cousins. From the outside, however, the Focus XR5 Turbo still sounds civilized and refined."
Stability was a top priority when planning the engine's light metal alloy cylinder block, which is screwed onto the ladder-shaped, cast aluminium bedplate, anchoring it like a rock. "This combination provides the six crankshaft bearings with solid support, which is of fundamental importance because of the high operating bearing loads of turbocharged engines," explained Hoffmann. "Well balanced thermal conditions around the five combustion chambers are assured by a tried and tested feature of racing engines: cross-flow cooling, which sends the cooling water broadside through the engine."
A drive belt powers two overhead camshafts actuating tappets controlling four valves per cylinder. The valves' generous proportions of 31 millimetres (intake) and 27 millimetres (outlet) ensure effective gas exchange. Hydraulic adjusters on the drive wheel side of both camshafts can be continuously fine-tuned through 80 degrees of authority – by 50 degrees on the intake side and by 30 degrees on the outlet side. "The motive for this complicated adjustability is obvious: more useable torque, especially at low engine speeds makes for a more tractable power delivery and also reduces fuel consumption and delivers cleaner raw exhaust emissions over the entire engine speed range," said Hoffmann.
Controlling valve operation, ignition timing and calibrating fuel injection to improve power development are left in the capable hands of a Bosch ME 9.0 engine control system. Installing the five-cylinder, turbocharged engine into the relatively small engine space was made easier by its compact turbocharging system. The intake manifold and turbine housing are in a small unit that fits easily between engine and bulkhead, with a KKK K04-2080 D turbocharger unit providing pressure on the intake side. A heat exchanger placed in front of the radiator cools hot air exiting from the other end of the turbocharger from well above 150°C down to 60°C.
For all of its power, the XR5's engine only needs a mild 0.65 bar of turbo pressure. "This rather gentle turbocharging, combined with a reduced 9:1 compression ratio, ensures a high degree of efficiency and, taking the engine's performance into account, good fuel economy," said Hoffmann.
The end result of the work by Hoffmann and his team is an engine that stirs the emotions, with throttle reaction that is immediate and dynamic, pulling away eagerly even from the lower end of the rev band. "We were lucky to be able to access a superb 5-cylinder engine thanks to Ford Motor Company's shared technologies approach," said Hoffmann. "Tuning that engine to meet the specific performance targets of the Focus XR5 Turbo was nothing short of a pleasure!"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. states should turn over more records to a national list of people barred from buying guns or face rising penalties, Sen. Charles Schumer said in introducing new legislation to Congress on Wednesday.
The proposal is part of efforts to keep those who could not pass background checks from buying guns, spurred by the January 8 shootings in Tucson, Arizona which left six people dead and wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others.
The U.S. maintains a database of people with a criminal record, psychiatric problems or other disqualifying problems, and gun dealers are required to run a background check on anyone attempting to buy a handgun.
Many states, including Arizona, have been slow in furnishing records to the FBI's "Do Not Sell" list, said Schumer, a New York Democrat.
"If our law was on the books, Jared Loughner would not have gotten a gun," Schumer said at a news conference, referring to the suspect in the Arizona shootings who engaged in bizarre and disruptive behavior well before the shooting.
Loughner was rejected by the U.S. military due to drug use, Schumer said, a record that should have been passed on to the national database and which may have prevented the gun sale.
If the legislation passed, states would have until 2018 to share 90 percent of their records of people prohibited from buying guns, such as drug abusers and the mentally ill.
States that do not meet the requirement would face increasing penalties.
In addition, the legislation seeks to make gun show sellers check if potential buyers are listed on the national database. It also would compel the military to share all its records.
Under current law, a person buying a gun at a gun show is not required to undergo a background check, an anomaly that gun control advocates consider to be a loophole.
Despite the Arizona shooting, Schumer's proposal is unlikely to become U.S. law any time soon because of the strong influence of gun control opponents in Washington.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution preserves the right of citizens to bear arms, and gun rights advocates such as the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) jealously guard this right.
No significant gun control legislation has passed the U.S. Congress since Democratic President Barack Obama took office in 2009 and the resistance is expected to be even stiffer now that Republicans have taken majority control of the House of Representatives.

Merriam-Webster.com definition: 1: a peculiarity of physical or mental constitution or temperament; and 2: individual hypersensitiveness (as to a drug or food).
Yup, that's what I'm talking about, specifically number 2 – the individual hypersensitiveness in regards to food. I admittedly have a few of those and I'll spare you all of them but one – fish, which also happens to flumox most people.
I grew up at the beach, of course I eat fish…um, no, no I don't. In fact, I eat nothing that lives/lived in any type of water. There were no problems when I was very young. We used to chow down on abalone like there was no tomorrow. I remember combing the rocks for big ones in the morning, bringing them home, and frying them in the deep fryer that was a part of the stove for dinner. Anyway, it was all good and normal with the fish stuff until I hit the double digits, and from there it was war.
My mom made sure I ate fish once a week and we made an agreement to get it done with little hassle: I had to eat without comment or complaint for 5 minutes and could smother it in whatever I wanted to get it down. Done. Swordfish and shark are two I remember having to eat like that, but I'm sure there were others. Once I hit 18, the agreement was null and void, and I haven't had fish since…well, except for clam chowder, which doesn't really count…
Let me explain. I LOVE chowder! Corn chowder is my all time favorite, but when a restaurant does clam chowder, I'll order it and leave the clams behind. The other day I went to the kitchen to make lunch and nothing was getting my attention. I went onto Facebook and looked at the posted menu for our local sandwich shop, and it was clam chowder day. Done. I called up, ordered a bowl to go, and drove down in the rain and picked it up.
Yum, chowder, with the clams left for kitty or anyone else who may want them.
Abalone is rarely found on menus, but if I ever see one deep fried…I wonder if I'll try it?

Fried Abalone needs to be well pounded before it's breaded and fried. Otherwise it's about as tender as a chunk of volcanized rubber. Unfortunately, worldwide abalone populations are in decline. Several countries have banned or severely restricted harvesting wild abalone. Mariculture attempts have had mixed success with some spectacular complications. They were able to encourage spawning, but some diseases and parasite infections escaped from the cultured projects into the wild populations near CA, Australia, and New Zealand.
With the bans, the price of abalone is sky high. If you can find it on a menu, it's going to be prepared in a more high end manner than good old deep frying. They do have to recover those costs…
One of my cousins was a professional ab diver before the 1997 So. California ban.
Yup, that's all very true and has been for a long long time, but I still look for it…more when we're in Northern California than in the south as most the farms are up that way, like Monterey. My cutie found a tin of abalone in China once and asked if it would do…um, NO!
Interesting about it being a diving job, we just walked out around the point at low tide and picked them up and yes, we spent forever on the back stairs pounding them, still look at mallets with that memory in mind, but the end result was so very tasty. In my mind, he lack of abalone was present long before the actual ban…I think they were late to implement that one.
And to be hoenst, Virginia, I have a feeling any restaurant that has abalone on the menu will be more than happy to serve it however the customer asks because they want to recover the money

Women explain things
At the end of the service, I saw a young woman leaving the sanctuary. "Hi," I said, and held my breath a second until I asked, "Are you a visitor?" I've only worshiped with the congregation for four Sundays, so I don't have a good handle on who's new and who's not.
"Yes, it's my first time here," she answered.
"Wonderful! How did you find out about us?"
"You're PC(USA). There aren't a lot of PC(USA) churches here."
"Yeah," I nodded. "It's important." I looked down at my robe, thankful—once again—for my denomination's insistence on women's leadership.
The religious landscape in Chattanooga is interesting. It may be a magnified version of what's happening in a lot of places. There are many culturally hip churches that are utterly regressive when it comes to women. In our city, the number of PC(USA)'s are in the minority. That means that many Presbyterians in our town don't allow women to be deacons, elders, or pastors. This is a University town with strong women in business ownership and non-profits leadership. I've met amazing women activists. It's important for women to be in religious leadership.
I know that it probably sounds ridiculous for many people to be even talking about women in the pulpit. Our denomination has been recognizing women in leadership since 1893. In 1956, it became official in our polity. But in most denominational churches, there is a shortage of positions available. Many Associate Pastor positions are being cut—which means that many positions that women held are disappearing. It's been 57 years, but hiring a man can still be a default in many church cultures. With this shortage, it's a good time to remember what a gift it is to have women as pastors. In the large spectrum of Christianity, it's a rare pocket in which we can exist.
Also, it's important that women explain things—especially when it comes to religion. If you spend time on the Internet, you probably know the term "mansplaining"--when men explain things to women without acknowledging their intelligence, knowledge, or familiarity with subject matter (thanks to Policymic for the definition). Religion has had a pretty devastating history of mansplaining. In fact, if I were writing a dictionary entry for mainsplaining, I would include this photo.
What are these religious men explaining to Congress? Birth control. Even though not one of them has taken one of those pretty pink pills, they are the experts on the subject.
"But wait!" One might protest, "The issue was not birth control. It was freedom of religion!"
And I wonder, why can't women talk about freedom of religion? Women can explain things.
The issue goes farther than health care. I have been working on this little book on peace, doing a lot of studying on domestic violence. One in every four women in our country has been a victim of domestic violence, and one in every six has been victim of sexual assault. There are a lot of factors in a woman getting out of difficult situations—one major factor is that she is believed. Often that trust comes from a supportive church. People who make it a habit to believe women.
It can be a rare thing for a woman to be believed, without question. As Rebecca Solnit's story reminds us:
Credibility is a basic survival tool. When I was very young and just beginning to get what feminism was about and why it was necessary, I had a boyfriend whose uncle was a nuclear physicist. One Christmas, he was telling–as though it were a light and amusing subject–how a neighbor's wife in his suburban bomb-making community had come running out of her house naked in the middle of the night screaming that her husband was trying to kill her. How, I asked, did you know that he wasn't trying to kill her? He explained, patiently, that they were respectable middle-class people. Therefore, her-husband-trying-to-kill-her was simply not a credible explanation for her fleeing the house yelling that her husband was trying to kill her. That she was crazy, on the other hand….
The robes, collars and pulpits--whatever you might think of them--they are symbols of trust and authority that have been passed down from generation to generation in our culture. When women step into them, we remind ourselves and others that women can explain things.

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, Oct. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Constant exposure to light
at night may be linked to an increased risk for weight gain,
according to a new animal study.
Ohio State University researchers found that mice exposed to dim
light at night for eight weeks gained about 50 percent more weight
than mice that were kept on a standard light-dark cycle.
"Although there were no differences in activity levels or daily consumption of food, the mice that lived with light at night were getting fatter than the others," lead author Laura Fonken, a doctoral student in neuroscience, said in a university news release.
The mice exposed to light at night didn't eat more than other
mice. However, compared to mice on a standard light-dark cycle,
they did eat substantially more food during daylight hours, when
they would not normally eat, according to Fonken and her colleagues
at OSU and the University of Haifa in Israel.
"Something about light at night was making the mice in our study want to eat at the wrong times to properly metabolize their food," study co-author Randy Nelson, an OSU professor of neuroscience and psychology, said in the news release.
The researchers also exposed a third set of mice to constant
light at night, and that group also gained more weight compared to
mice on a standard dark-light cycle. However, the dim light was
more comparable to lights that humans use at night, they noted.
Light at night could disrupt levels of the hormone melatonin
(which is involved in metabolism) and expression of clock genes
that help control when animals feed and when they are active, the
researchers said.
Many experiments in animals do not pan out in humans. However,
if the findings are confirmed in people, it would suggest that
late-night eating may be a specific risk factor for obesity, Nelson
The study suggests that people who tend to eat at night while
watching TV or working on a computer may be at risk of gaining
weight for reasons other than sedentary behavior, he added.
The study appears online Oct. 11 in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Senator Murkowski and 20/20 Energy: How Energy Policy Can Impact Stocks
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In The Washington Post there is an interview with Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) regarding her plan for energy policy in the future, "20/20: A Vision for America's Energy Future." (Warning:PDF) It's an interesting document and the senator appears to be on the offensive with it.
As Murkowski says, the plan is not designed to be a one-time, comprehensive energy policy but is instead designed to implement small steps (singles and doubles, as she calls them) to move the United States toward a more sensible energy policy. She supports the development of nuclear power, the Keystone XL pipeline, enhanced coal and liquid natural gas exports and the economic development of regions of Alaska currently off limits.
Some of these, perhaps all of them, will face significant political opposition from interests on both the left and the right. Honestly, that's the most encouraging sign there could be. If one can get extremists on both sides mad, then a plan is truly workable, in my former-political-reporter opinion. From a market perspective, and depending on which parts of the plan get introduced in what order, there will be some stock gains to be had. Let's take a look at some of them.
Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO)
Anything that moves approval of the entire Keystone XL pipeline forward is going to benefit Valero enormously. Not only does the company have an option to buy a good piece of the pipeline but a big chunk of the oil that moves through it will end up in the company's refineries. Best of both worlds should it come true. Heck, I'm already on record as thinking it will. This is an energy company that's been on the way up, climbing $24.81 to $46.13 in the last year and raising its dividend 20% in that time. Heck, it's gained more than 30% in the last month. T. Boone Pickens has it as one of his top holdings and you should think hard about it, too.
Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A)
Even though it has not had a good run in the news lately, I'm including Royal Dutch Shell on this list. Why? Because the company is already well-established with a mining presence in Alaska and off the Alaskan coast. It is well-positioned to take advantage of the opening up of further oil leasing rights in the far north, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The firm's stock has taken a beating lately as the bad news had piled up. It's been as high as $74.09 this year and as low as $60.62 and sits in the middle right now. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic on it. And that dividend is an enormous 5.10% yield. Keep this one in your back pocket and spend some money if you have some with nothing better to do.
The Southern Company (NYSE: SO)
Perhaps a sleeper in the energy debate, The Southern Company owns several deep south public utility companies. And the company is developing two new nuclear reactors. Nuclear power is on the way back in the United States, with new applications moving through the pipeline as I type. They face some resistance but the public is now split on nuclear power instead of being opposed so I think they'll go through. The company's stock has traded within a seven-dollar range all year and is on the low end of that now at $43.85. If nuclear does expand as I predict, SO will see a growth spurt. Combine that with the company's 4.47% dividend yield and this could be a play that works for you. You should have some.
Chevron (NYSE: CVX)
If the part of the plan devoted to increasing the export of liquid natural gas is put into play Chevron should see a nice little spike. Look, it takes no brains to notice Chevron, the company's a monster. But an increase in LNG activity means that it is in the path of increased sales and that's never a bad thing for a firm. It's trading at $115.64 right now and had been below $100 as recently as last May. In November it hit a recent low at $101.62 so it's grown 13.79% in about two and a half months. It's also showing a pretty hefty dividend above 3%. It's worth picking up, even at the $100+ price point. I'm not the only one who thinks so, either.
OK, so any professional, or even amateur, political observer knows that Murkowski's plan will face hurdles. There will be opposition from radical greens who oppose any energy plan and there will be opposition from conservative energy groups who want to shoot down anything with the words 'clean energy' or 'green energy' in it. The point is that Murkowski's plan can get some bipartisan support for trying to create a series of small, easier-to-support moves that don't require a huge amount of discussion to enact. Nothing's certain in Washington, DC these days, but this is one to watch and make portfolio adjustments about if you're into the energy sector.
Good luck!

Competence Sets Expansion Based on the Fuzzy Rough Neural Network
Traditional competence sets analysis focuses on the expansion of the discrete competence sets, and focus on the uncertainty analysis. By means of uncertainty reasoning techniques and principles (probability reasoning, evidential reasoning, fuzzy reasoning, information reasoning, including degree reasoning, etc.), how to study competence expansion under uncertain circumstances, that is one of the issues of competence expansion theory. About competence expansion question under the indefinite situation, papers formerly mainly studied that the enterprise's obtained competence or actual requisite competence is indefinite, did not solve that both are indefinite, precisely based on this goal, this article studies the enterprise competence expansion process under this kind of situation by using the fuzzy rough neural network method, solves fuzzy market demand and rough technology competence and so on uncertainty influence factors, helps decision-maker to expand enterprise technology competence to the needed technology competence of enterprise technology innovation question satisfaction solution.
Key words: Enterprise management decision; Fuzzy rough neural network; Competence sets expansion

Web, Apple, storage stocks lead tech
Companies that make the Internet faster, abet Apple in its global domination or allow data to be stored remotely are the current winners. Forget about everything else.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
Cloud and Internet, yes. Everything else in tech, no. That's pretty much what the charts said in my weekly perusal of the pictographs courtesy of the hand-delivered S&P chart book I have been getting for 25 years.
The charts never get old, and they always show the key trends in what is loved and what is hated. Anything that touches cloud computing, making data more accessible, more storable and more secure wins. Anything having to do with anything else, except perhaps Apple (AAPL) and its mobile applications or video, is getting no love -- and no multiple -- at all.
Take Sourcefire (FIRE), a company that most people have never heard of. This networking security company is the quintessential play of the moment, one that has vaulted from $18 to $29 in a month's time. The propulsion is due to both takeover -- does it look like Radware (RDWR), ArcSight (ARST), 3Par (PAR) or McAfee (MFE)? -- and earnings. The ramp here is reminiscent of the Salesforce.com (CRM) takeoff.
Or take Citrix (CTXS), a ho-hum "go to my PC" player that I always considered a desktop enhancement that now can brand itself as a desktop cloud play. It has the chops to prove it -- a breakout quarter that makes it likely to be acquired if its chart stumbles, even if its earnings don't. Given that this was the first great quarter, I doubt the business can stumble that quickly.
Tech security is a continuing theme, in part because the objection to the cloud at the enterprise level is that it can be hacked -- that was ArcSight's claim to fame. People don't even care at this point if the security that is offered helps make cloud storage stronger. They just care about whether a company can be in the category.
If it can, a la McAfee, it gets a heightened multiple. So VeriSign (VRSN) fares better, and so does Symantec (SYMC). It doesn't matter whether either company has any momentum, although each has a division that seems to be doing well. People want it. They see that it could augment the security quotient of another company -- an Oracle (ORCL), an SAP (SAP) or a Dell (DELL). Doesn't matter that it could be fanciful thinking -- the traders want to be in on the home run that is Radware/3Par/ARTS/McAfee, and they are willing to overlook any weakness.
Of course, storage for cloud is out of control. NetApp (NTAP) is not quitting. I think that company would have to say "our stock is too high" to stop that monster. Same with VMware (VMW), which is making such a strong move that people are beginning to recognize that the company is owned by EMC (EMC). I think both companies are strong into the fourth quarter.
What else? Look at Akamai (AKAM) and Netflix (NFLX), disruptive technologies that are allowing the disintermediation of cable and entertainment. They are making it so the next generation can watch its favorite programs on the iPad -- great in bed because the TV is either hard to see or is on a wall in the living room. I know tons of people who watch it without their contacts in! I kid you not.
Of course, there is the youth quotient that thinks the cable bill is a big rip-off. Hard to justify the move in DirecTV (DTV) over this trend but easy to see why the cable companies are totally stalled.
Netflix is a winner. The companies willing to buy anything related to storage should just go buy Akamai, but I have been saying that for $3 billion in market cap now. Cisco (CSCO) should buy it, but it is too smart for Cisco -- which I am now beginning to believe is simply not as smart a company as I once thought. It has done nothing for years.
Not many other winners in tech. You see some Apple-like winners, notably Skyworks (SWKS), odd because it represents all other handset companies; Qualcomm (QCOM) because it is in Apple's intellectual property for next versions of devices; and two that I think should be higher, ARM Holdings (ARMH) and Cirrus Logic (CRUS). I think Intel (INTC) would be much higher if it had bought either of those rather than the bonehead McAfee.
The ironic thing about acquisitions is that, if you look at Oracle, it knows how to do it. Sun was a dog. But Intel, Microsoft (MSFT), IBM (IBM), Cisco, Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) either don't have a clue or don't know how to exploit. They are all perceived as buyers because they need to acquire companies to show growth. It is just that they, unlike Oracle, don't know what to do with the growth they acquire. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.)
I mean, think of it. How long has F5 (FFIV) been out there, screaming to be bought by Cisco? Yet Cisco doesn't care, or doesn't know, or doesn't believe. Or Cisco thinks, like the old IBM, that it doesn't need to do anything bold because John Chambers is CEO for life. He is the king, isn't he? I don't mean to pick on Cisco. Couldn't IBM have seen this? Intel? HPQ? Nah. They never believed that it would come to this, that disruptive technologies would challenge their basic business.
Plus, all of these companies were always focused on the enterprise. They didn't care about the consumer. They didn't know how.
Isn't that why Apple is tearing up the joint and doesn't need to do acquisitions? Its technology, so dominant in retail, is so much better than the other guys' that it can now take on the enterprise. I am convinced that the shrinking market caps of all the other players except storage and Web are because Apple is about to take over the enterprise via the iPad. It sure has killed the growth area that was netbooks.
So the market is making sense in its own speculative way. You make the Web faster, you abet Apple in its global domination, you allow the data to be stored remotely so the desktop/iPad is empowered, and your stock goes higher.
Everything else?
Forget about it. Value traps. Period.

MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- A Muskegon woman is in mourning after she ran out for an errand Thursday and came home to a bloodbath.
There had been a history of domestic violence in the Laverty family years ago but nothing recently. Apparently a lot of those old emotions boiled up when 30-year-old Justin Laverty learned that his family was starting up a new business and he would not be included in it. They had been working together in a small cleaning business.
The younger Laverty apparently had an argument with his 57 year old father over the matter while Mrs. Laverty was out running that errand. Detective believe he pulled out a folding knife and stabbed him several times. David Laverty staggered into the kitchen, collapsed and died.
They believe that Justin then went upstairs to his bedroom, grabbed a shotgun and killed himself.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
Construction and repair work on major highways in Henry and Clayton counties will come to a halt this weekend, to accommodate an expected holiday-travel rush.
The Georgia Department of Transportation plans to suspend construction-related lane closures on all interstates and major state routes, beginning at 5 a.m,. Friday, July 2, and continuing until 5 a.m., Tuesday, July 6, according to Kimberly Larson, a spokeswoman for the DOT's District 3, which covers Henry County. "We suspend all projects for the Fourth of July weekend," she added.
Construction has been ongoing this week at the Jonesboro Road/Ga. Highway 54 overpass at I-75, in Clayton County, and maintenance work also was done on Georgia Navigator cameras along I-75, near Hudson Bridge Road, in Henry County. That work required one lane in both directions to be closed temporarily during the day.
Larson said that, eventhough, the DOT is suspending roadwork, motorists should still plan ahead for heavy traffic throughout the holiday weekend -- and be patient. She suggested that they call Georgia 511,( by dialing 5-1-1) and check for current road conditions, "because, as most people know, this is one of the busiest travel weekends for summer vacations."
AAA Auto Club South projects an estimated 31.4 million Americans will take to the roadways this weekend, traveling to holiday destinations. Georgia is projected to see more than 800,000 travelers on its roads. "We expect traffic on Thursday evening to start picking up," said Mark McKinnon, spokesman for Georgia DOT's District 7, which covers Clayton County.
McKinnon said the state department plans to clear as many lanes as possible to aid the flow of traffic along the interstates. "We do not allow any additional lane closures during the holiday weekend," he said. "Four lanes will be open in each direction along I-75 [in Clayton County]."
Officials expect high volume areas in metro Atlanta will include, but are not limited to: I-75/85 southbound (Downtown Connector); I-285 on the top end; State Route 400 in both directions; I-85 in Gwinnett County; I-75 in Cobb County; and I-75 southbound in Clayton and Henry counties.
"Traffic congestion on Thursday and Friday will be heavier than normal, with rush hour beginning as early as 1 p.m., in high-volume areas," said Georgia DOT Commissioner Vance Smith, Jr. "We anticipate that with Independence Day falling on Sunday, there will be numerous people extending the weekend. Monday could also be very busy, with people returning from the long holiday, combined with [the] regular rush hour."

The ability to execute more than one task at the same time, a task being a program. The terms multitasking and multiprocessing are often used interchangeably, although multiprocessing implies that more than one CPUis involved.
In multitasking, only one CPU is involved, but it switches from one program to another so quickly that it gives the appearance of executing all of the programs at the same time.
There are two basic types of multitasking: preemptive and cooperative. In preemptive multitasking, the operating system parcels out CPU time slices to each program. In cooperative multitasking, each program can control the CPU for as long as it needs it. If a program is not using the CPU, however, it can allow another program to use it temporarily. OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT, the Amiga operating system and UNIX use preemptive multitasking, whereas Microsoft Windows 3.x and the MultiFinder (for Macintosh computers) use cooperative multitasking.

"Haiti's Ministry of Tourism laid the foundation stone on a new tourism welcome office in the town of Milot this weekend.
The project, which is a joint effort by Haiti's National Institute for Historic Preservation, the International Finance Corporation and the Inter-American Development Bank.
It is the latest step by the ministry and Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin as Haiti seeks to build a new tourism infrastructure in the country.
The town of Milot is five miles from the historic citadel and Sans Souci Palace of King Henri I of Haiti, which was built in the early 19th century.
The fortress was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.
The town has been the site of a project by Haiti advocate Ron Daniels, who has been looking to help Milot position itself as one of Haiti's major destinations, with the goal of building a boutique hotel."

We have stayed here two times now. It is on a quiet part of the lake with wonderful views. There are three levels to this house and all levels have a bathroom/bedroom. We had three families stay here and it was wonderful for us to socialize, yet we could all have our private time also. The house has all that we needed and we just brought food. There is no central air (for summer visits), but there are two portable air conditioners for the main and upstairs levels. The basement stays very comfortable w/out air. We will continue to stay at this house and would recommend to others. The owner is very easy to work with.

That's always been my point. Computers are for the convenience of humans, not the other way around. And we, in humanity, use words, not stupid symbols and groups of nonsensical characters to get our message across. So why should it be any different when we're talking to computers? They are our slaves. They should speak our language. If you want to be a slave to the way a computer talks then just go ahead and write your damn program in machine language (no, not an assembler - actual machine 1s and 0s).
That's why that ridiculous C family of languages (and by that I mean any language that employs those stupid C symbolic conventions: C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, JavaScript - the list is endless because people are too stupid to realize that it's pathetic gobbledigook that should be abandoned now before more damage is done to young, impressionable minds) is an anathema to human existence.
Use a language that actually uses words like Pascal/Delphi or Basic. Otherwise, show us how computer savvy you really are (and how stupid) by churning out those endless 1s and 0s.

We took a week of our spring break to do multiple service projects all around Santa Cruz. Pictured here is our team at one of our job sites. We helped at a food bank, met with the elderly at a rest home in Capitola, and worked with the homeless at Elm Street Mission downtown Santa Cruz. We loved working with CustomInk on our t-shirts!

The Rhode Island Republican House Caucus has invited gun manufacturers to set up shop in Rhode Island after the passage of strict gun regulations in Connecticut.
The caucus has invited Colt which is based in West Hartford CT and Beretta located in Maryland to come to Rhode Island and manufacture their fire arms.
"This is not about firearms, but jobs," said Rep. Brian C. Newberry, House Minority Leader.
On Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. the governor and the Democratic General Assembly Leadership are expected to role out their own gun-control reform bills.
"Tomorrow, as the Governor and Democratic Assembly Leadership plan to introduce ideologically-driven gun control legislation that will ultimately serve no good purpose and do nothing to deter criminals, we wish to remind them that they are again neglecting one of the highest unemployment rate in America and failing to focus their energies on the number one priority facing Rhode Island's citizens – a lack of jobs," said Newberry.
"Our focus should be on rebuilding the economy and making Rhode Island a place that attracts high quality private sector jobs, not chases them away. Instead, tomorrow promises to be yet another high profile "social issue" sideshow that will merely perpetuate Rhode Island's reputation as a place where we always have our eye on the wrong ball.
"Gun manufacturing is a high-paying industry. We have vacant facilities here that match the industry's requirements. As well, we have a willing and available workforce with skills this industry can put to work. This is also an industry that is essential to our national security, so it is unlikely it will disappear," said Newberry.
Newberry said that the gun control plan to be proposed will drive business away instead of attracting new jobs to the state. He coined the legislative package as "feel good legislation."
