Xbox 720 to Pack 16-Core Processor - Report

By Sarmistha Acharya | April 8, 2012 8:36 PM EST
The development kits for Microsoft's next game console - being popularly called Xbox 720 - were shipped to developers in March, according to a report by Sillegamer, after the company's Developer's Conference in London, on 28 February. One of the primary reasons for calling for a conference, it is now believed, was to brief European representatives on the next-gen console, something which was later confirmed by a senior technical artist at game developers Crytek. Further meetings were then held, for American developers, at the Game Developers' Conference in San Francisco, after which the development kits were shipped.
The Xbox 720, according to the report, will pack a "monster" 16-core IBM PowerPC CPU along with a GPU equivalent to AMD's Randeon HD 7000-series graphic cards and a Blu-ray drive.
Meanwhile another report, by VG247, has emerged revealing details Microsoft has made available to certain partners. Apparently, the console will have two GPUs. The structures of the GPUs will not be as they normally are in PCs, where the two chips take turns to draw lines of the same objects. Instead, the Xbox 720 chips will, it is belived, be able to work independently, drawing different items simultaneously.
Furthermore, according to a report by Xbox 360, Level artist Mark Ziemak from developer CD ProjektRED, has been quoted stating the Xbox 720 will not be much different from Xbox 360, when asked if the arrival of a new Xbox would drastically alter CD Projekt's multiplatform plans.
"I guess once you get the experience with consoles, with Xbox 360, then we are hoping that this experience in the future will help us in the developing games for a next gen. If next gen is around the corner pretty soon, then we are hoping the experience that we got at this moment will actually help us in creating the games for other consoles. I don't think they'll be so much different. I hope they won't be so much different that we have to totally change our control and stuff like that," said Mark Ziemak, a Level artist from developers CD ProjektRed, in a report by Xbox 360.
The next Xbox, according to a Techradar report which quoted Microsoft blogger "M S Nerd", is expected to be code named "Loop". The source also said the console would be "far smaller, cheaper and Kinect-focused". There are other reports, such as this from Develop-Online, which claimed the console would be named "Durango", after tweets from Sean Tracy, a technical designer for Crytek, which read: "Enjoying the Durango developers summit in London. So far, great swag and interesting talks." He has since deleted the tweet.

I found it much more difficult to grab tickets today to any St. Louis concerts than any of the Chicago shows. I finally was able to get pretty good seats to Thursday's show, but struck out on Friday...
The Best Buy picture almost looks like painting.
Totally agree. Much better shot than the cover they went with.
That is a great photo.
The new photo on the Best Buy site should have been the album cover shot. Great stuff.

DataCore, a leader in software-defined storage, will be showcasing its new 'any hypervisor, any storage' Virtual SAN capabilities and SANsymphony-V10, the latest version of its comprehensive storage services platform at VMworld 2014. During the show, DataCore will present solutions to resolve the growing 'data islands' problem and address the disruptive impacts that Flash technology, convergence, software-defined data centers and the move to commodity hardware are having on today's IT environments. DataCore will also feature its latest technology innovations and offer a show special Virtual SAN software license for virtualization and storage experts to test-drive the new capabilities for themselves. DataCore will be present in booth #1445, next to VMware's main booth at the show, which takes place on August 24 – 28 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
"DataCore enables businesses to get started with a high performance, stretchable and scalable virtual SAN at an appealing price without dealing with the cost and complexity hassles of traditional SANs or forcing limitations to using a single vendor hypervisor or specific flash and disk storage brands," said George Teixeira, CEO and president at DataCore. "Competing alternatives can't provide a pathway to incorporate external storage and physical SANs, and instead create non-integrated 'data islands' that require many more nodes and expensive add-on flash cards to achieve a fraction of what DataCore delivers."
The DataCore Virtual SAN: Any Hypervisor, Any Storage
DataCore Virtual SAN leverages its 10th generation technology to create an agile software solution that works cross-platform with all major hypervisors, including industry leading VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. Plagued by lack of storage resiliency, high storage costs and inadequate storage performance, companies today are looking for a reliable and effective solution to virtualize and simplify storage management within their data centers and server infrastructure. Converged storage has been seen as the solution, but current options create isolated 'data islands,' each with its own incompatible hardware and software. With DataCore's Virtual SAN, organizations can virtualize server Flash and disk-based storage, as well as integrate external storage arrays to supplement their converged storage. Specifically, DataCore's advanced technology allows for continuous data availability, with nearly zero percent downtime, reducing storage costs by up to 75 percent and improving the I/O performance of virtualized applications by up to 10x.
The DataCore virtual SAN software eliminates the need to deal with traditional SAN costs and complexities. The technology accelerates performance to more than 50 million IOPS and scales to 32 petabytes of capacity across a cluster of 32 servers, making it one of the most powerful and scalable systems available.
Unlike alternatives, which are locked into a single storage infrastructure that changes the existing storage operations and creates separate 'data islands' to manage, DataCore's "Data Anywhere" architecture allows organizations to manage, virtualize and leverage server Flash and disk-based storage along with external storage arrays spanning different departments, data centers and remote locations. Proven at over 10,000+ customer sites, DataCore's Virtual SAN capabilities provides the best of both worlds, making it easy for organizations to automatically tier and optimize their storage investments to achieve the best balance of price and performance, regardless of storage or server brands, hypervisor platforms or location of the data.
Putting It All Together with DataCore SANsymphony-V10, The Ultimate Storage Services Platform
DataCore significantly improves business productivity in the real world. DataCore customers report up to 4x increase in capacity utilization, nearly 100 percent reduction in storage-related downtime, as well as a 90 percent decrease in time spent on routine storage tasks.
DataCore's SANsymphony-V10 provides a comprehensive set of storage services and a growth path that encompasses virtual SANs (including both server Flash and disk technologies) while expanding the scope to integrate external SANs and any combination of Flash and disk-based storage wherever located as part of an overall architecture. DataCore SANsymphony-V10 provides a complete range of storage services to enhance, virtualize and manage existing and new storage assets enterprise-wide.
"As a result of DataCore's software-defined storage platform, we have seen significant savings in hardware and personnel costs, while increasing the performance of applications," said Gabriel Sandu, CTO at Maimonides Medical Center. At Maimonides, Gabriel oversees an IT environment running both VMware and Microsoft hypervisors and a mix of traditional and Virtual SANs covering a diversity of servers and storage devices which span metro-wide remote sites and clustered virtual environments and supports many critical databases and healthcare applications.
Free DataCore Virtual SAN for Virtualization Pros
DataCore is commemorating its 10th generation release by offering a free, non-production Virtual SAN software licenses. Intended primarily for technical specialists, virtualization consultants, certified storage experts, instructors and architects evaluating technologies to manage and optimize storage infrastructures, the software will help organizations evaluate and experience the value of a converged infrastructure.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Toronto judge in niqab case 'fair in his treatment of everybody'
The lawyer who must hear the niqab case is a 37-year veteran of the bench and no stranger to controversy.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Toronto judge to whom Canada's highest court has sent back the niqab case is a 37-year veteran of the family and criminal bench known for fairness and occasional outspokenness.
Supreme Court niqab ruling:Veil can be worn to testify in some cases
Norris Weisman, 74, presided at the preliminary hearing in a sex assault case in which the complainant, identified as N.S., asked to testify with her face fully covered in a niqab.
In 2008, he reached an "admittedly difficult decision" to force her to testify with her face bared after finding her "religious belief is not that strong."
His decision was appealed to two higher courts before landing in the Supreme Court, which sent the case back to him Thursday.
Weisman was appointed to the provincial bench in 1975, while only in his mid-30s. He initially presided in youth court, where he was no stranger to controversy.
Shortly after his appointment, Weisman sent a 1-month-old child, Vicky Star Ellis, home to her mother, heeding the advice of a social worker. The child was dead 21 days later.
The controversial case gripped the city and led to a coroner's inquest in 1977.
Veteran family lawyer Paul Pellman, who often appeared in front of Weisman on domestic matters, said he was quirky, somewhat "nerdy" in his manner and hard to read, but reasonable.
In later years, Weisman presided over criminal cases.
Prominent criminal lawyer Edward Royle called Weisman able and knowledgeable.
"He's fair in his treatment of everybody. He's right down the middle in his judgments," Royle said.
He has not shied from public comment.
In 1978, he challenged the view that youth court judges were "bleeding hearts."
In 1981, Weisman told the Star prospective parents would benefit from family studies courses, which might encourage them to wait longer before having children.
Born in 1938 in Toronto, he studied at the University of Toronto, earning a bachelor of commerce in 1960 and his law degree in 1963.
He returned to U of T to study arts decades later, writing in a senior's newsletter that despite his two previous degrees he felt not fully educated. He majored in English and graduated with "high distinction" in 2008.
A widower with four children, he is reported to enjoy golf and bridge.

Alaska Airlines to start Bellingham-Honolulu flights
Travelers in Northwestern Washington and Vancouver B.C. will have a new way to reach Hawaii next year when Alaska Airlines starts nonstop service between Bellingham and Honolulu.
Seattle Times travel writer

Traveling? Send us a postcard
Travelers in Northwestern Washington and Vancouver B.C. will have a new way to reach Hawaii next year when Alaska Airlines starts nonstop service between Bellingham and Honolulu.
The news is a boost for the expanding Bellingham International Airport, ranked recently in a survey by Cheapflights.com as having the cheapest overall average fares among 101 U.S. airports for domestic flights.
Seattle-based Alaska said it will inaugurate nonstop service starting January 7 with a daily flight between Bellingham and Honolulu at 5:20 p.m. and a return flight at 10:25 p.m. The flights will be operated with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, accommodating 16 passengers in first class and 141 in the main cabin.
"It's really great news for folks in and around the Bellingham area," said Art Choat, Bellingham's director of aviation. "It makes life a whole lot easier for anyone going to Hawaii."
Bellingham is a popular starting point for Vancouver travelers. Estimates are that about 55 percent of Bellingham's business comes from Canadians.
Many, said Choat, are attracted by the ease of crossing the border by car, and catching a flight in the U.S., rather than dealing with the hassles of airport international arrivals and departures. They also can often get lower fares.
Discounter Allegiant Air offers 54 flights per week between Bellingham and Las Vegas, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, Palm Springs, Phoenix and San Diego. Alaska also flies nonstop to Las Vegas,
A $30 million airport terminal expansion is scheduled to start next month. When complete, the Bellingham airport will be able to handle 500,000 passengers per year, compared to 370,00 now.
Choat said he expects more announcements of increased service in the next three months.

MarketLive: Merchants continue to see revenue growth
For the sixth consecutive quarter merchants with MarketLive have seen double-digit revenue growth. On average revenue increased nearly 19% between Q1 2013 and Q1 2014 while traffic increased about 14% during the same time period.
Overall mobile revenue was also up - nearly 50% during the period. All was not perfect, however. Brick-and-mortar stores also saw revenue increases, more than 28% on average. According to the data bounce rates - those of shoppers who come to a store but do not make a purchase - and shopping cart abandonment rates also pushed up. The bounce rate increased about 7%.
"Cart abandonment continues to challenge ecommerce merchants across sectors and sites. For the most part, abandoned cart rates are flat or rising. Growing mobile usage and cross-device shopping are just two of the more significant factors behind this frustrating metric. As merchants catch up with changing consumer behaviors, expect to see better mobile experiences and stronger omni-channel relationship management," writes the company.
Extrapolations can be made between MarketLive's data and across the online space as more consumers log on to buy everything from high-fashion to groceries.
Other interesting findings from the MarketLive data include:
• Add to Cart rates increased 8%
• Average order size increased 4% to $114.55
• Conversion rates decreased 2%
• Cart abandon rates increased 3% to land at 72.5%
• 43% of check-outs were abandoned
As for how shoppers are converting the data shows Sunday is the best day for tablet traffic and conversion (1.94%) while traffic and conversions from smartphones were relatively steady throughout the week, peaking in the afternoons on most days.

After installing TCL/TK 8.3.1 (the binary was downloaded from Scriptics web site) and moved the directories tcl8.3/library and tk8.3/library to a different location so that they fall into the directory structure of our product, and then pointing the Registry entry /H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Scriptices/Tcl/8.3/Root to the new location, both tclsh83 and wish83 failed to start. The error message was "could not find a usabled init.tcl".
The same directory structure of our product worked fine with Tcl/Tk 8.0. One of the reasons we did not upgrade to Tcl8.1 or Tcl8.2 was that they lacked the registry support. From the README file of Tcl8.3, it seems the registry support is back, but it still does not work.
Could you please fix it ASAP? We need it for our costumers.

Logged In: YES
The win/README file in Tcl 8.3.3 has been updated to
stop claiming that the registry is consulted in the
search for init.tcl. That feature was removed in
Tcl 8.1.
Tcl's DLLs and its script library are meant to be installed
so that init.tcl is found at path ..\lib\tcl8.3\init.tcl
relative to the file tcl83.dll (modify version numbers as
necessary). If you move files after installation such that
this is no longer true, you've broken your Tcl installation.
Don't do that.
If you are embedding the Tcl library in another application,
you can force the Tcl library to look for its init.tcl file
in a particular directory. After Tcl_CreateInterp() but
before Tcl_Init(), set the variable ::tcl_library in the
interp to the name of the directory where you want init.tcl
to be found when you call Tcl_Init().

We take a look at five budget tablets that you can consider purchasing if you have a budget up to Rs. 10,000.
If you are looking for a tablet in the sub-Rs. 10,000 budget, then this is undoubtedly your first tablet and you are testing the waters of what a tablet can do for you. The consumer is spoiled for choice here as every manufacturer has a tablet launched in this price range in India. To maintain the sub-Rs. 10,000 price point, manufacturers usually compromise on features, and include lower-end elements like the touchscreen, camera, case and more.
Keeping the basic essentials like the hardware, build and touchscreen in mind, here are our recommendations of five tablets you can consider if you have a budget of Rs. 10,000.
Lava E-Tab Xtron
The successor to the Lava E-Tab Xtron, the Xtron offers some minor updates to its successful predecessor. For Rs. 6,990, the E-Tab Xtron is an impressive tablet. The display is great for reading books and consuming multimedia content. Its battery life is an improvement from its predecessor. Since the hardware is the same, you can expect the same stunning performance from the tablet. The OS too has been updated from Android 4.1 to Android 4.2.
In terms of its specifications, the Lava E-Tab Xtron has a 7-inch IPS display with 1024x600 pixel resolution. A 1.5GHz dual-core processor along with 1GB of RAM powers it. The tablet has 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a micro SD card. It also houses a 2MP primary camera along with a 0.3MP secondary camera. It shows off Wi-Fi connectivity, but lacks the ability to house a SIM-card slot for making calls or access mobile data on the go. A 3700mAh battery powers the entire package.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 311
The Galaxy Tab 2 311 is Samsung's venture into the budget tablet category. Priced at Rs. 9,499, the Tab 2 gives users a complete Android 4.1 Jelly Bean experience. The interface is skinned with Samsung's TouchWiz UI and also gives you access to Samsung apps apart from those available on the Google Play store. If you have used any Samsung smartphone such as the S II or the Galaxy Grand, or the Galaxy S III, you will feel right at home with the UI. Put simply, it's a Samsung smartphone interface on a 7-inch display. The tablet can be connected to your Mac or PC via Samsung's Kies desktop application for data transfer.
The P311 is the Wi-Fi only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 310, while the latter boasts of Wi-Fi along with 3G and the ability to make calls. The rear-facing camera is one of the better cameras available on a tablet in its price range. Playing games, watching videos and browsing the Internet were all a treat on the tablet. Also, if you have used an Android-powered Samsung smartphone you will feel right at home with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P311.
Karbonn SmartTab 10
Priced at Rs. 9,499, the Karbonn Smart Tab 10 is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz Cortex A9 processor, dual Mali-400 GPU along with 1GB of RAM. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean straight out-of-the-box. The built-in storage is low at 1.5GB but it is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The 9.7-inch display has a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. The tablet has a massive 6000mAh battery and is quite slim measuring 10.8mm in thickness.
If you are looking for a 10-inch tablet with the ability to play most of the games from the Play store, then this is the tablet for you. But playing a resource-intensive game like Dead Trigger on the tablet did make it lag a bit. The audio from the tablet too is good, especially while running apps. The display of the tablet too is good.
Spice Stellar Pad
Available for Rs. 8,499, the Spice Stellar Pad Mi-1010 has good power under the hood, has an impressive display and touch response and the audio from the device is really good too. Sure, it is plagued with some lag but that is found on all budget tablets. The video playback capabilities of the tablet too are good and the battery lasted us for 6.5 hours in our continuous playback test.
The Spice Stellar pad shows off a 10.1-inch IPS display with 1280x800 pixel resolution. It is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor coupled with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage that is expandable up to 32GB via a micro SD card. The rear of the device has a 3MP camera, while the front has a VGA camera for video calling. The tablet runs on Android 4.1 and a 7600mAh battery powers the entire package.
Asus Memo Pad 7 and the Acer Iconia B1
The fifth place in this list is held by two tablets – the Asus Memo Pad 7 and the Acer Iconia B1. Asus MeMO Pad ME172V has a single-core processor where the peers have not only upgraded to dual-core but higher clock speeds as well. The tablet sports 1GB of RAM, which is at par with the competition and better than the Acer Iconia B1.
The MeMO Pad display has the same resolution as the Acer Iconia B1 but for displays with better resolution, you will have to cross the 10k price point. There may be some issues with the HD video playback on the two tablets but if you want a tablet to browse the internet, play some games and consumer multimedia, you can consider one of the two.
The Asus Memo Pad 7 has a single-core 1GHz processor along with 1GB of RAM. The 7-inch display has a1024x600 pixel resolution and it sports 8GB built-in storage expandable via a microSD card. A 4270mAh battery powers the entire package. The Memo Pad 7 is priced at Rs. 9,799.
On the other hand, the Acer Iconia B1 has a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU coupled with 512MB of RAM. It has a 7-inch display with a 1024x600 pixel resolution. The tablet has 8GB of built-in storage expandable via a microSD card. It has a 2710mAh battery and is priced at Rs. 8,999.

Hayden Panettiere's Hair and Makeup at Golden Globes 2014
Vote: Was Hayden Panettiere's Slicked-Back Hair a Hit?
by Lauren Levinson 1 Reactions 116 Shares Print
The nominee for best supporting actress on TV for her role on Nashville did not go with the theme of her show when it came to her hair. Instead of wearing voluminous Southern curls, she went with a runway-ready style: slicked-back, superstraight strands. As for her makeup, she rimmed her eyes completely around with black liquid liner and kept her eye shadow, cheeks, and lips in a pink palette.

Sandra Bullock Adopts Baby
Is Walking Out of a Marriage With a Baby Better?
by Moms 3 Reactions 1 Shares Print

Sandra Bullock
skigurl 4 years
i agree with the anonymous post (that's a first) - i respect Sandra and her decision and i'm so happy for her and think it's amazing that she has baby Louis and will love and care for him solo, but i don't think this is a very reasonable poll being a single mother is hard, and the baby isn't a consolation prize
4 years
This is a terrible poll. I have a lot of respect for Sandra Bullock but this survey is bizarre.
kurniakasih 4 years
I think it depends on the situation. On one hand, she must be ecstatic to be finishing up the adoption process, but she and her soon to be ex hubby were supposed to be the parents. So although it's a good, positive distraction to raise the baby up on her own, it's gotta still sting at times. But if I could say something to her, is CONGRATULATIONS. And she just proves to me that things can be done discreetly in Hollywood when the celebs want to. I read that she's not unwelcome with her soon-to-be ex being a father to the baby (I think she even said she thought him to be a great father), and she's not going to be out of the ex's 3 children, so I think it's awesome that they're doing things amicably and working together despite everything ugly that has transpired.

New research shows that both the lines of business and IT departments see value in "Bring Your Own Identity" (BYOID) initiatives, where social networking or digital IDs are used for application login. The groups also agree that more security is needed to increase BYOID adoption. The report, "The Identity Imperative for the Open Enterprise 2014," conducted by the Ponemon Institute and CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), examines business user and IT department attitudes toward BYOID.
"In today's application-driven economy, access to applications has to be simple and secure. BYOID is an increasingly popular option for simplifying access. It can reduce the need to create new accounts for every site, which leads to registration fatigue and abandoned shopping carts," said Mike Denning, senior vice president and general manager, Security, CA Technologies. "We are working to make sure we enhance BYOID security without adding friction or complexity."
The report provided several key insights into BYOID, including the current state of adoption, its perceived value and views toward the identity providers and how BYOID could be enhanced.
Current State
BYOID deployment using social IDs is still in its infancy, but interest is high, especially for mobile and web customer populations. There is a high level of interest in BYOID and using social identities such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Yahoo, with 50 percent of IT and 63 percent of business users expressing high or very high interest. Customers engaging with the business via the Web and mobile device were highest rated for targeted digital identity engagement, eclipsing other populations such as job recruits, employees, contractors and retirees.
Perceived Value
Identity is now viewed as a contributing growth asset as well as a security component. Both IT and business users agreed that an important reason for BYOID adoption in their organization was to achieve a stronger identity credential and get a higher level of confidence that a user is who he says he is (69 percent and 65 percent respectively). But business users cited capturing attributes about users as the biggest benefit (95 percent). This indicates an evolving view of identity. No longer viewed as simply a component for protecting data, identity is now seen as a value asset that can provide data which could drive incremental revenue and help maintain customers.
Enhancing BYOID
Additional security developments could drive increased BYOID adoption. The majority of IT and Business users said "identity validation processes" would help increase BYOID adoption (72 percent and 70 percent respectively). Implementing fraud risk engines also rated among the top three across both groups. Interestingly only 27 percent of business respondents believed formal accreditation of the identity provider was very important / essential, while 59 percent of IT users believe formal accreditation is very important / essential.
Perception of Identity Providers
Respondents' preferred identity provider varied based on the situation and region. When asked what social ID was of most interest to their organization, IT users ranked PayPal as the preferred identity provider across all regions. Business user responses varied with Amazon edging out PayPal and Microsoft. When asked what social ID respondents preferred as a consumer, Google was highest ranked among both IT users and business users.
"A holistic examination of the attitudes uncovered in the research show two clear views of identity," said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder, Ponemon Institute. "IT continues to take a traditional risk-based, security view of dealing with identities, while the business side takes a more value-based, customer-centric view of identity. In order to gain the most value from any BYOID initiative, these two groups must collaborate and become allies for secure business growth."

Things are being built upon cloud foundations to transform organizations. This CEO Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo, moderated by Roger Strukhoff, Cloud Expo and @ThingsExpo conference chair, will address the big issues involving these technologies and, more important, the results they will achieve. How important are public, private, and hybrid cloud to the enterprise? How does one define Big Data? And how is the IoT tying all this together?

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

Republican US Sen. Blunt Speaks to Mo. House
Associated Press April 22, 2014 3:58 PM
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt says there are no federal solutions to many problems confronting governments.
The Republican lawmaker spoke Tuesday to a session of the Missouri House in Jefferson City.
Blunt urged the legislators to resist when they're told the federal government is best suited to address a problem unless they have been persuaded the issue is too big for state government alone.
Likewise, Blunt says legislators often should push back when told state government is better suited than local officials to tackle an issue.

Things become clear when you look up. In front of the sky backdrop, shapes form and lines appear. I love it.
I think I would rather look up often and sometimes trip than constantly watch my feet so I don't fall.

London house prices: October sees biggest jump in house asking prices in eight months

Published: 15 October 2012
London saw the biggest monthly increase in asking prices new figures revealed today.
Overall house sellers hiked their asking prices by more than £8,000 in October in the biggest jump seen in eight months, Rightmove said today.
But with a 4.8% jump taking average prices to £478,071, the capital saw the largest increases partly aided by strong overseas buyer interest.
The typical property asking price rose by 3.5 per cent month-on-month to £243,168, as all regions across England and Wales saw prices increase.
The property search website said the autumn rebound showed "evidence of some life in the market", although it suggested the upturn is most likely to be due to a lack of properties for sale, meaning would-be buyers have less choice.
The jump means prices are 1.5 per cent higher than a year ago and goes some way to reversing an £11,000 drop in prices between June and September, when the market saw a lull amid distractions like the Olympics.
The South East and the West Midlands both saw 3.9 per cent increases, while prices rose by 3.8 per cent in the North West and by 3.4 per cent in Wales, while East Anglia saw the smallest increase, with a 0.4 per cent rise.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said last week that mortgage lending to home buyers hit a two-year high in August, although it cautioned that it is too early to say what long-term effect recently-launched Government schemes to kickstart lending are having.
Mortgage availability has been increasing since an £80 billion funding for lending scheme was launched at the start of August, although much of this has so far been concentrated around people with larger deposits of at least 20 per cent.
Lenders have also toughened their borrowing criteria in recent months and Rightmove said estate agents are still reporting that mortgages are no easier to obtain, with lenders "nit-picking" through every detail of applications.
Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, said increase in asking prices "is most likely attributable to the continued shortage of new property supply".
But he cautioned: "Sellers need to be mindful that the window of opportunity to sell before the traditional winter slowdown is a narrow one, and they risk being left out in the cold for months until the spring market thaw.
"In addition, estate agents are reporting that mortgages are still no easier to obtain, with risk-averse lenders nit-picking every detail of the mortgage application paperwork, even from buyers who seem squeaky clean."
Rightmove said that its own research has found that fewer than two in five would-be buyers say they will arrange to visit a property they believe is over-priced, even if it matches their criteria.

Sharon Osbourne 911 Over Candle Fire As Ozzy YellsAlso: 911, Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne
Sharon Osbourne's 911 tape is being re-examined by the media, just one day after Ozzy announced he was abusing drugs and alcohol for the past 18 months.
The English television host placed the 911 call for help on January 17 at 4:45 AM after a table in her bedroom was set on fire by a candle.
"There was a fire in my room it was a candle," a distressed Sharon tells the 911 operator after 14 seconds of silence. "Do you think you could send a fireman? My husband put it out, but I just want to be sure."
Prior to Osbourne speaking to the dispatcher, Ozzy can be heard in the back ground muttering something, but that really doesn't give any insight as to his condition.
The call was recorded before the former rocker had begun his journey to sobriety and was potentially under the influence when the incident took place.
Nonetheless, Sharon later reported that she was the one responsible for the bedroom fire.

Dear teachers:
This letter is from your students to you.
We want you to know that you are important to us, just as we hope we are to you. You are a very important part of our lives and influence us sometimes even more than our own families do.
You are our role models and leaders. We look to you for guidance, leadership, support, and to show us how to learn, grow, and achieve our best.
School in Canada has become a place where we can develop our intellectual, emotional, social, and physical self.
While this can be done through a curriculum of subjects such as math, science, reading, history, geography and enriching subjects like music, art, and physical education, you have shown us that learning also happens when we are challenged to go beyond the notebooks and participate in enriching activities that teach us fair play on sports teams, how to win and lose with grace, the poise and confidence it takes to sing in choirs, the courage to put ourselves on a stage and perform in front of strangers, and the pleasure and responsibility to be an active member of our local and global communities.
These are the activities and times that we will always treasure.
We may not remember a scientific definition or a mathematical equation, but we will remember the time we lost against our rival school and came back to beat them in the playoffs; we will remember the excitement we had doing the plays, presentations, and fashion shows; we will remember the fun we had at our graduation dance and we will never forget the teachers that were there for us, leading the way.
We know you are teachers because you want to share your gifts and talents with us and enjoy all the same activities and learning opportunities that we do.
We know that you chose to be teachers not politicians. You want to be teaching and leading by example.
Do not teach us to walk out of the classroom; do not teach us that we should not give our time if we don't get paid; do not teach us to take our frustrations out on those who have no power to make change.
Teach us to be positive change-makers, teach us priorities and responsibilities, teach us how to solve problems with creativity, teach us by being a role model.
We will follow your lead.
Be our teachers. Leave the politics out of the schools. Do not take away our right to an education. Stand up for us not the unions.
Choose us. Choose to teach.

Starlight Marine Services, a full service marine transportation provider and subsidiary of Harley Marine Services, has collaborated with the United States Coast Guard to conduct on the water rescue training. The first training was conducted on January 15 and the more recent was on April 1. This training marked the first time the air station trained with members from the tug and barge industry.
During the April training, two Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin class helicopters were on scene from Air Station San Francisco to conduct hoist training with the crew from Starlight Marine's Millennium Falcon. The training included numerous rescue training attempts while the tug was underway. This requires the use of a trail line and pristine communication between the vessel and helicopter. A combination of both litters and rescue baskets were used during the training. A rescue swimmer was also lowered to the tug during the training.
