My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
-Psalm 22
There was a day, an entire season really, when Susan Choichon Ford considered herself a strong young professional woman ready to climb the corporate ladder.
She lived in Chicago and made great money in medical sales working with obstetrics home care. It was a job that left her fulfilled in many ways — professionally, personally and financially.
"I felt like I really made a difference in women's lives," she recalls.
So when she and her husband had their first child, she continued to work and hired a nanny. But there were the moments when she would come home to find their nanny cuddling with her baby boy or singing to him or playing games.
"I always thought that should be me," she recalls. "I remember myself coming home from school and seeing my mom. I wanted my kids to have that."
When she became pregnant with their second child, and her husband's job brought them to Charleston in 1996, she quit work. After all, she was good at her job. Jobs were plentiful.
She would return to corporate life later, when her children were older and the seasons changed.
This was a season for raising children.
Then her children grew — and her marriage crumbled. The season of jobs aplenty withered with the nation's economic chill.
Today, the newly divorced mother of three faces a season of life she never imagined. This season demands that she support herself after 15 years out of the workforce.
Any stay-at-home mom knows each day can require the patience of Job and heroic multitasking. But it does little to fill a 15-year void on a resume.
Single at 48 with three children — ages 19, 16 and 13 — Ford needed income and employment benefits beyond her ex-husband's child support and the beloved jewelry making business she had kept up for years on the side.
Naturally, she would look for a medical sales job. She crafted a resume. She scoured online and made phone calls. She sent out three resumes a day at times.
But nothing.
She thought about going back to school, perhaps to get a master's in health administration. But she lacked the money.
Instead, she's working as a sales associate at a downtown clothing store making $12 an hour. She needs a paycheck.
"What are my choices?" she asks.
Ford is a poised, educated, well-dressed woman who looks the part she feels society wants her to play.
Raised in a faithful family, she attended Catholic schools and sent her own kids to Catholic school. She felt close to her faith. But at her parish in Mount Pleasant, she too often wore a fake smile with her nice clothes to look the part.
"I didn't want people to see me unhappy," she concedes. "I was a strong woman. I didn't want them to see me fall apart."
But fall apart she did.
She felt she had let down God, her parents, her kids and herself. She stepped away from church.
From time to time she goes back, but mostly she prays alone.
While working on King Street, she discovered a tiny chapel inside the nearby Pauline Books and Media where she could share her anger and sorrows and hopes with God without people watching or judging. She asks God for help looking for a job and writes her needs in the Daughters of St. Paul prayer request book.
"Miracles happen in there," Ford says. "I still pray every day. But now, I pray for God's will, not my own."
Where she felt more stable in her faith before her divorce, she now feels more spiritually alive, more in transition, in a more personal relationship with God: "It's like I am on a spiritual quest."
With her divorce finalized, she has changed her name from Susan Hauser to Susan Choichon Ford, adopting each of her deceased grandmother's surnames. Both were strong women of faith, and their presence in her name represents her commitment to continue their example.
"I'm going back to the basics," she says. "I'm learning to be on my own again and to be strong. It's like I'm figuring out who I am again."
Last week she had a phone interview with a recruiter. It was something small, but it was hope — and maybe a clue to what the next season of her life will hold.

Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The Hague, 14 May 1954.
State parties (133)
State signatories (2)
Following the signature of the Roerich Pact by the American States in 1935 attempts were undertaken to draft a more comprehensive convention for the protection of monuments and works of art in time of war. In 1939, a draft convention, elaborated under the auspices of the International Museums Office, was presented to governments by the Netherlands. On account of the outbreak of World War II no further steps could be taken. After the war, a new proposal was submitted to UNESCO by the Netherlands in 1948. The General Conference of UNESCO in 1951 decided to convene a committee of government experts to draft a convention. This committee met in 1952 and thereafter submitted its drafts to the General Conference. The revised drafts were then transmitted to governments for advice. The intergovernmental Conference which drew up and adopted the Convention and the further Acts took place at The Hague from 21 April to 14 May 1954. 56 States were represented.

What's the Best Computer Monitor Size?
With a lot of people using their laptops as a desktop computer replacement, you'd think that smaller monitors might be better, but in all honesty, if you're looking for a new monitor, your best bet is to read on to find out what we think about computer monitor sizes.
Your best bet is to get the biggest computer monitor that you can. There are a bunch of reasons why you should do this. If you have a MacBook, then the new 27-inch LED Apple Cinema Display is one of the most convenient monitors to have, thanks to its host of features that are geared towards MacBooks.
You'd think because laptops don't have extremely powerful graphic cards that you could stick with smaller screens, but there is so much that you can do with a big computer monitor, that your best bet is to get a big one. Currently, the ones that make the most sense are 27″ or 30″. There are a few companies that make 27-inch LED LCD computer monitors, and those should be the ones to get. The ones from Dell, Gateway, and Viewsonic also are quite affordable.
If you haven't thought of this before, a big computer monitor is a good HDTV replacement, especially if you are a student or someone working with limited space. You can easily stream or watch your favorite shows in HDTV format on your computer. This also lets you cancel you cable TV, something that I haven't paid for in years.
If you're a gamer, then plugging your video game console into your big computer monitor is also quite an experience. This is because a computer monitor has a much higher resolution than HDTVs. You'll end up seeing quite a few more details this way.

Bathrooms covered in outdated tile with coloured sinks and bathtubs can be an eyesore for many homeowners, but instead of spending money gutting and renovating, the space can be updated by combining modern design and personal tastes.
When clients approach Victoria interior designer Nicole Scott about updating their washrooms, she said they are often tired of having a room that represents a previous owner's or tenant's style.
"It is usually that people have said to me that there is this oppressive feeling of it being someone else's tastes and they want to change the feeling of it," she said.
Unlike larger rooms in a home, bathroom redesigns - as long as major fixtures aren't being moved - can be tackled by the homeowner.
Homeowners may have to develop their design around larger items in the bathroom that because of budget can't be removed, Scott noted.
"I think that the first thing people need to figure out is what is the overall feeling or style they want to achieve, and then you can pick all of your colours and finishes based on that," she said. "If you live in an older home and like more traditional style, you can pick fixtures and go in that direction.
"For tenants in an apartment who aren't able to change very much, you may want to go with the retro feel of the tiles you can't change, and run with that."
A quick and economical way bathrooms can be updated to reflect personal style is by incorporating art and artifacts. Scott said even though wall space is limited, it's a great option to use unusual and interesting visuals.
"One of the things I'm obsessed with right now is vintage soap labels," said Scott. "On eBay I just ordered some for myself and a client. We have these great vintage soap labels that you can frame inexpensively and put two or three on a wall.
"I also love industrial, and so if you find a cool sign even with just an arrow on it it's interesting to have an item like that because it's unexpected in a bathroom."
A vintage decor item Scott doesn't recommend using is wallpaper. She also said she avoids using medium-density fibreboard cabinets or other wood items.
"It can trap moisture and start to swell and warp over time," said Scott. "I would stick to hardwoods, natural stones and metals - the tried-and-true materials that have a lot of longevity."
There are several ways to save money in your bathroom update, but there are areas where Scott said it's worth spending the money.
Although there are products that are marketed as suitable to cover laminate countertops, Scott said she would never paint a counter top.
"There are also other inexpensive materials like remnant pieces of actual stone," she said. "If you're willing to shop around a bit, you could find pieces of granite or quartz.
"Another thing you can do, if you hire a designer, you can get a better price. But another thing I always tell people is to go to the home shows because all the stone guys are there and are always giving out promos.
"If you attend, you can go back a week later and get a discount because you went to the home show and shook his hand."

Alina here with some not-very-gneiss news that may make some of you a bit dis-jointed. Geopetal has been put through a rock tumbler, and will not be able to complete the release tonight. Rolith and Tomix are also out sick, and cannot finish it for her.
Geopetal is broken like this crystal. :(
Never fear, DragonFablers! Your rockster is hale and mostly-whole. She's got some bruises and busted-up facets, but with one of my trusty Fissure-B-Fine draughts, once she's had a bit of sleep, she'll be right as new! (Or as new as an eons-old rock can get.)
She's got a short but meaningful update almost ready to roll, and she says to expect that tomorrow. The pebble of power should be back to full strength then!
I told the codemonkey: "No working while sick!"
Remember, Heroes: never take your balance for granite. Concrete stairs can nerf your health, and there's not always a Healer around to get you back to full HP!

If Jack Nicklaus's predictions are as good as his golf swing, then expect to see Tiger Woods back on the course at next month's Masters.
"It would surprise me if he didn't [play]" Nicklaus told ESPN Wednesday during the Honda Classic Pro-Am at PGA National. "I can't imagine in a hundred years he is going to miss Augusta."
Woods, a four-time Masters champion, has not played in a tournament since the Nov. 27 SUV accident that brought his various extramartial affairs to light. The embattled golf champ gave no indication on his expected return to golf during his first public comments on Feb 19.
"I've been very noncommittal about anything as it's not my business," the legendary golfer said. "But as it relates to him playing golf, my guess is as a golfer he's going to want to try and play Augusta if he's got his other things in order."
Earlier this year, Nicklaus said 2010 would be a pivotal year if Woods wanted to close in on the veteran's 18 major championship wins. Three of the major touraments slated for this year will be on courses Woods is known for dominating: St. Andrews, Augusta National and Pebble Beach.
Woods reportedly returned to his Orlando-area home last weekend and resumed practice after spending a week in family counseling. To many insiders, this is a sign that he's preparing for a return to the course in the near future. The Masters begins April 8.
"I suspect he'll play something before Augusta," Nicklaus added.
When ESPN golf writer Bob Harig asked where Woods will make his much-anticipated return, Nicklaus just shook his head.
"Your guess is as good as mine," he said. "He's a great athlete. He'll figure out his own problems. But as a golfer, he'll come back and get his game in shape and play."

Read about the Center For Sports Parenting's main objectives and how you can get involved.
Help SportsParenting.org by browsing & casting your vote in our hot topic polls.
Check out our archive of articles & press releases related to the world of sports parenting.
Launched in March of 2001, the Center for Sports Parenting (CSP) is a Web-based initiative that offers immediate and practical guidance to parents, coaches, educators, administrators, officials, and all other individuals involved in youth sports, equipping them with the information needed to handle the psychological and physical challenges faced by young people participating in athletics.
Chaired by Rick Wolff, nationally-recognized sports parenting and performance enhancement expert, the CSP Web site offers personalized advice from a panel of more than 25 respected experts in the fields of sports psychology, coaching, health, nutrition, and sports medicine; gives users access to CSP research based on the latest psychological trends in the area of sports parenting, with special emphasis on communication, motivation, and athletic development; and serves as a forum for people to speak out on sports parenting-related issues.
Over the last few years, many people have begun complaining about the high cost of health insurance and the health care system as a whole, especially for their children. Patients have not been the only ones with complaints, as doctors have also stated that it has become more difficult to provide quality care. To help resolve all these issues while still offering viable, affordable health insurance to Americans, the Obama administration signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010. Since then, several parts of the bill have been implemented into the system, among them comes help in fighting disparity.
To help identify and reduce disparities, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will be collecting critical data. The new law requires that any new and ongoing federal health programs collect and report language, ethnic, and racial data. This data will help physicians and the government understand and reduce persistent health disparities. Benefits of this new data collecting will help patients who have, in the past, felt as though they were not getting the medical care they truly deserved.
The goal for the government is to provide fair and equal health care to everyone in the country. While some information is available that can help in fighting disparity, there is still a lot that needs to be collected. From this data, the government will be able to create an even better health care system in the future to reduce costs and increase medical care to all. You will soon be able to afford health insurance for your kids, especially with all the possible injuries that come with playing sports.
Childhood obesity is an epidemic. Fortunately, home exercise equipment designed specifically for children helps kids get the exercise they need to live long, healthy lives and to establish good habits at a young age.
Today, one in three children is overweight or obese. These conditions can be prevented with a healthy diet and exercise. Experts recommend children participate in vigorous exercise for 60 minutes every day. Home exercise equipment for kids doesn't only foster physical fitness. It improves mental development according to a recent study published in the Brain Research journal.
The biggest hurdle facing parents is getting their children to exercise. Making Home Fitness Equipment fun for children is one challenge that can be conquered by implementing a rewards system. Equipment that uses body-generated power to control computers is one method that combats two problems at once.
Jump ropes, trampolines and simple items are great for getting children to exercise because they're so much fun. In addition to CV-equipment, strength-training tools are an important part of any fitness regimen. Chin-up bars, inclined rock walls and systems that force a child to use their own weight are ideal. Parallel bars, balance beams, balance boards and resistance bands are excellent for young children.
Kids can easily be injured on equipment designed for adults, so it's smart to invest in child-sized alternatives. Before getting home exercise equipment for kids, parents should set a good example and engage in a fitness routine as well.
At Center for Sports Parenting, our mission is simple: To provide practical and immediate guidance to anyone involved in youth sports. That means that parents, officials, administrators, educators, coaches, and more can find the information they need to handle the physical and psychological challenges that young people face when participating in athletics. We are a Web-based service that equips these individuals with the knowledge they need to lead young athletes toward a positive path and help them through the good times and the bad times as well.
Since not all sports are held in metal buildings that can protect young athletes from environmental hazards, it is up to parents, coaches, and others to step in. To do this, we provide the latest psychological trends research that focuses on athletic development, motivation, and communication in the area of sports parenting. Whether the young athlete plays within metal buildings or out on the field, we at CSF have a forum that can help parents speak out about issues related to youth sports. To accomplish this task and to provide the most up-to-date information on youth sports parenting, we have a panel of over 25 experts, respected in their fields of sports medicine, nutrition, health, coaching, and sports psychology to provide personal advice.
By learning more about the different issues related to sports parenting, a better environment for young athletes can be built. Stronger relationships can also come about through knowledge.
No less vital than good sports parenting is good scholastics parenting. The two should go hand-in-hand. A parent's involvement in obtaining and maintaining a proper education for their child can be said to be of a most critical nature.
While continually embroiled in the debate as to their real value, SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) results are still an important factor in college admissions criteria. Those wishing to do well are advised to enroll in some type of SAT course or to diligently follow a reliable SAT test prep program, many of which are available online, including free SAT practice tutorials.
The popular B Line test prep series offers free sat practice programs with the quality normally associated with paid courses. This service will score your exam for you, track your progress and even explain why you are getting questions wrong. Whatever SAT prep course you decide to pursue, study hard and aim to succeed.
Fellow parents will understand how difficult it can be to find stylish home design options that will hold up to the daily presence of children.

YORK, PA – The York College men's soccer team closed out their 2012 regular season with a 3-0 win over Manhattanville College on a beautiful late-October Wednesday afternoon in York. The Spartans improve to 11-5-2 overall while the Valiants fall to 7-6-4.
The opening 15 minutes of the game lacked much energy as both teams spent a majority of the time in the middle of the pitch. The Spartans started to apply more pressure on the Valiant goal as the half progressed. That pressure paid off in the 21st minute as freshman Ryan Donahue (York, Pa./Central York) slid a brilliant pass forward from the midfield. Senior Antonio Bua (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) collected the ball just inside the box and slotted a shot past a diving Willie Silber for his seventh goal of the year.
The Green and White continued to pepper Silber in remaining 20 minutes of the half. York pushed the lead to 2-0 with less than a minute remaining prior to the half. Freshman Eli Bjerk (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater) collected the ball along the end line and kept it in play. Bjerk then placed a great pass to an on-rushing Taylor Brummitt (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis). Brummitt tapped the pass into the net as the Spartans built on their lead just before the break.
The second half was a clinical display by the Spartan offense as they maintained a large majority of the possession and kept the play in the Manhattanville defensive third. The Spartans got their third goal in the 56th minute of play as senior Cody Pearson (Crofton, Md./DeMatha Catholic) gathered in a loose ball in the box and unleashed a great strike into the far right netting for his second goal of the year.
The Spartans ended the game with a 21-2 edge in total shots including a 9-1 margin in shots on goal. The Green and White held the Valiants without a second half shot as the Spartan offense gave their defense a break. York notched eight corner kicks while Manhattanville did not attempt any in the contest.
Senior Jesse Derksen (York, Pa./Susquehannock) earned the win in goal for York as he registered one stop in his 65:17 of work. Silber made six saves for the Valiants.
Prior to the game, the Spartans honored their six seniors who closed out their regular season careers. Bua, Pearson, Derksen, Justin Facer (Prospect Heights, Ill./North Allegheny), Matt DeLong (Millville, Pa./Millville), and Nathan Birth (Millville, Pa./Millville) picked up their 58th career win as a class. They head into the CAC Tournament with an on-field four-year mark of 58-14-13.
The Spartans begin their Capital Athletic Conference Tournament journey on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm when they host St. Mary's College in a first round game. The Spartans are the three-time defending conference champions and enter the tournament as the three seed.

There are the names you are getting to know well for carving remarkable feats on the Northeast gridiron landscape. They launch missiles, run to daylight and make unbelievable catches. And they do it each week, not only grabbing attention for this week's exploits, but threatening or setting career records.
There was Mass. Maritime quarterback Mike Stanton throwing for three touchdowns and running for another in a 56-32 victory over Fitchburg State. And while he was doing this he chiseled his name into the Bucs' record book, breaking the passing yardage for a season with his 1,823 yards. He erased a school mark that has stood since 1982. It all netted him New England Football Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Coast Guard's Jon Resch puts up big numbers every week. This time his 24-yard touchdown pass to Casey Paris gave the Bears a victory.
Mike McCarthy is another guy that seems to fashion eye-popping stats on a weekly basis. This time the quarterback took Bridgewater State to its sixth win in seven games in the big showdown with Worcester State. He accounted for about everything in the 19-17 victory by rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for the other. He had 130 yards running the football.
It was another day at the office for Mount Ida's Scott Drosendahl as he threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-3 pasting of Husson.
Remember Wesleyan's Kyle Gibson who threatened Shea Dwyer's school record a couple of weeks ago by rushing for 244 yards. He was at it again this week, amassing 141 yards in a 24-22 win over Bates as the Cardinals went to 4-0.
Trinity's Evan Bunker just keeps collecting 100-yard rushing games. This time he dashed to 171 of them in a 40-16 rom over Tufts.
Curry's Robert Bambini had his usual electrifying performance, piling up 192 receiving yards with two TD catches.
"In all the years I have been doing this, he is in the top three receivers (I've coached against)," Salve Regina coach Bob Chesney said.
And what about this mad bombers Shane Brozowski and McCallum Foote, who will never meet but play in home stadiums less than 35 miles apart? Castleton State's Brozowski threw for 417 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-13 win over Becker. Doesn't he always? He has already become the all-time career leader in passing yardage in New England in Division III. Foote did his weekly thing by throwing four touchdowns passes in a win over Williams to help Middlebury to go to 4-0 for the first time since gas was $1.05 a gallon (1992).
But not all the game-changers are on offense.
There is likely nobody on the defensive side of the ball who has more right to be called a game-changer than Salve Regina's Phil Terio. And did he ever change Saturday's 37-30 victory over Curry that allowed the Seahawks to prolong the nation's longest winning streak to 13 games. Terio intercepted a pass on his own 7-yard line to seal the win late in the game. Earlier, he returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown.
The sophomore defensive back has returned four interceptions for touchdowns this season. The NCAA Division III record previously was three in an entire season.
"He had scholarship offers. He just felt comfortable coming here," Chesney said. One reason he felt comfortable was that Salve's heralded running back Richie Edwards came from the same high school.
"He has great anticipation, great hands and is extremely athletic," Chesney said of Terio. "A lot of what he does is about instinct.
"And he studies film just about more than anybody."
"There are a handful of kids in our league (Eastern Collegiate Football Conference) that are game-changers on defense," Mount Ida coach Mike Landers said.
He quickly named SUNY-Maritime linebacker Keith Barnes, Gallaudet corner Tony Tatum and his own AJ Knibbs.
Kinibbs started out at Ida as a safety but was moved to defensive end to take advantage of the athletic attributes in his 6-3, 240-pound frame.
"He is extremely fast and a tenacious pass rusher," Landers said.
Landers refers to him as a hybrid who can be equally tough against the run or pass.
Middlebury coach Bob Ritter has his own game-changer on defense, the answer to Foote and receivers Billy Chapman and Zach Driscoll on the offensive side. Tim Patricia is only a freshman but leads the Panthers in tackles with 44 from his linebacker spot.
"He is really mature in his football knowledge. He has really good football instincts," Ritter said. "You never know how freshmen are going to be but we knew he would be pretty good."
Todd Carr thought he would be a college baseball player and headed to NCAA Division II power Franklin Pierce. Now, he is blowing up plays for Castleton, leads the Spartans in tackles and is a big part of the first three-game winning streak during their four-year program.
"I was really serious about baseball. I wanted that to be my goal in college," Carr said.
But a shoulder injury changed that. He could no longer throw unless he had surgery.
"I discussed it with my parents. I was 18 and didn't want surgery," Carr said.
He recalled Castleton coach Marc Klatt recruiting him for football. He called Klatt and asked if he still had an interest. "I came to Castleton for a visit and liked the atmosphere and the coaches," Carr said.
He came to that first camp in 2011 as an inside linebacker and now plays middle linebacker. "I like middle linebacker in that I now have control over the defense," said Carr, who just paid for his education by earning an ROTC scholarship.
Game-changer? Carr most felt like it in the Spartans' big ECFC win over SUNY-Maritime.
"My job was to beat the offensive line on the fullback dive and cause chaos. I started downhill and forced a fumble. We got the ball and then scored. It was a huge momentum swing," Carr said.
Carr had 10 tackles in Saturday's win over Becker and teammate Cody TanCreti had a program-recoord three interceptions in the game.
Cadets stay alive
Norwich went down to Washington, D.C. with their chances of repeating as ECFC champions looking dim. But the Cadets stunned Gallaudet 34-24.
Cadet quarterback Kris Sabourin who became the school's all-time leading rusher the previous week, turned to passing. He riddled the Bison defense by completing 19 of 35 passes for 284 yards.
There was late-game lightning for Hamilton. Jeff Hopsicker threw a touchdown pass to Joe Jensen with 5:16 left to give the Continentals a 14-13 win.
Road warriors
Wesleyan weathered the NESCAC's tough double: trips to Maine in back-to-back weeks. Jesse Warren threw three TD passes in a 24-22 win over Bates in Lewiston as Wesleyan went to 4-0.
Wesleyan coach Mike Whalen and his team made five wins (a winning season) a goal for this year and the Cardinals are a win away from that.
"We're not going to stop playing if we reach that," Whalen said.
Nichols did not win a game last year and finally broke through this year, beating Mass-Dartmouth 26-16 on the arm of Pat Viencek. He threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns as the long losing streak was put to rest. Sophomore Wesley Williams pitched in on defense, picking off three Corsair passes.
But the streak went on in Hartford, Conn., where the Trinity Bantams extended a nation-best 45-game home win skein.

Don't forget about boating safety on Memorial Day weekend
Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and this is typically a time when thousands of folks across Texas take to the lakes, rivers and bays in boats, jet skis, kayaks and canoes. It's also a weekend when game wardens will be out in numbers checking to make sure that you've got enough life jackets on board and that the person running the boat is not drinking and driving.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, all available Texas game wardens will be patrolling the state's public waters over the Memorial Day weekend to make sure everyone who goes boating or fishing gets home safely.
Game wardens will be particularly on the lookout during the holiday for boat operators who have had too much to drink. Boating while intoxicated provides the same penalties as a DWI on the roadways, and for those on the water, it is just as dangerous.
During the first six months of last year, game wardens arrested 195 people statewide for BWI. In 2012, game wardens took 301 people to jail for operating a boat while drunk. During one holiday weekend last year, game wardens handled 6 BWI cases and investigated nine boating accidents that resulted in 13 injuries and one fatality.
Roughly, 17 percent of all boating fatalities are alcohol related.
In all 50 states, 0.08 is the legal blood alcohol limit, which is typically one drink – or one beer or two – per hour, depending on your weight.The 2014 North American Safe Boating Campaign is a yearlong campaign that promotes safe and responsible boating, and the value of voluntary life jacket wear by recreational boaters through the national theme Wear It!
"Every day, I hear about the grim consequences of not wearing a life jacket while boating," said Rachel Johnson, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council, the lead organization for the Wear It! campaign. "You can still have fun on the water while choosing to always wear a life jacket and boating responsibly."
U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in almost three-fourths of recreational boating fatalities in 2012, and that 85 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets. That's why boating safety advocates continue to push for increased and consistent life jacket wear on the water.
Today's life jackets are comfortable, stylish and easy to wear. In fact, they don't even have to be jackets anymore. Old-fashioned, bulky orange life jackets have been replaced with innovative options such as inflatable life jackets, allowing mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing, paddling or hunting, and are much cooler in the warmer weather.

AMD A10-5800K Performance Preview: Trinity for Desktop
Trinity's GPU Performance
Editor's Note: Right before the release of this story some discussion has been ongoing at other hardware sites about the methods AMD employed with this NDA and release of information. Essentially, AMD allowed us to write about only the gaming benchmarks and specifications for the Trinity APU, rather than allowing the full gamut of results including CPU tests, power consumption, etc. Why? Obviously AMD wants to see a good message be released about their product; by release info in stages they can at least allow a brief window for that.
Does it suck that they did this? Yes. Do I feel like we should have NOT published this because of those circumstances? Not at all. Information is information and we felt that getting it to you as soon as possible was beneficial. Also, because the parts are not on sale today we are not risking adversely affecting your purchasing decision with these limited benchmarks. When the parts DO go on sale, you will have our full review with all the positives and negatives laid out before you, in the open.
This kind of stuff happens often in our world - NVIDIA sent out GTX 660 cards but not GTX 650s because of lack luster performance for example - and we balance it and judge it on a case by case basis. I don't think anyone looking at this story sees a "full review" and would think to make a final decision about ANY product from it. That's not the goal. But just as we sometimes show you rumored specs and performance numbers on upcoming parts before the NDAs expire, we did this today with Trinity - it just so happens it was with AMD's blessing.
AMD has graciously allowed us the chance to give readers a small glimpse at the performance of the upcoming A series APUs based on the Trinity processor. Today we are covering the SKUs that will be released, general gaming performance, and what kind of power consumption we are seeing as compared to the previous Llano processor and any Intel processor we can lay hands upon.
Trinity is based on the updated Piledriver architecture, which is an update to Bulldozer. Piledriver improves upon IPC by a small amount over Bulldozer, but the biggest impact is that of power consumption and higher clockspeeds. It was pretty well known that Bulldozer did not hit the performance expectations of both AMD and consumers. Part of this was due to the design pulling more power at the target clockspeeds than was expected. To remedy this, AMD lowered clockspeeds. Piledriver fixes most of those power issues, as well as sprinkles some extra efficiency into the design, so that clockspeeds can scale to speeds that will make these products more competitive with current Intel offerings.
The Lineup
The top end model that AMD will be offering of the socket FM2 processors (for the time being) is the A10 5800K. This little number is a dual module/quad core processor running at 3.8 GHz with a turbo speed of 4.2 GHz. We see below the exact model range of products that AMD will be offering. This does not include the rumored Athlon II editions that will have a disabled GPU onboard. Each module features 2 MB of L2 cache, for a total of 4 MB on the processor. The A10 series does not feature a dedicated L3 cache as the FX processors do. This particular part is unlocked as well, so expect some decent overclocking right off the bat.
The A10 5800K features the VLIW 4 based graphics portion, which is significantly more efficient than the previous VLIW 5 based unit in Llano (A8 3870K and brethren). Even though it features the same number of stream processors as the 3870K, AMD is confident that this particular unit is upwards of 20% faster than the previous model. This GPU portion is running at a brisk 800 MHz. The GPU core is also unlocked, so expect some significant leaps in that piece of the puzzle as well.
That is about all I can give out at this time, since this is primarily based on what we see in the diagram and what we have learned from the previous Trinity release (for notebooks).
Click to read the entire post here.
The Results
We did not have access to an Intel processor with a 4000 series graphics unit at this time, but I will be including results from such a product in the full review. I used the previous A8 3870K and the Intel i3 2105 (which features the 3000 series graphics unit). I took these products for a spin in four of the newer, more popular games out there. I was not able to enable full resolution and quality selections, but the results still looked pretty good considering the performance.
The Intel part is not up to the task obviously. Not surprising, as it is a last gen part with inferior graphics as compared to the 4000 series with the latest Ivy Bridge processors. What is more interesting is the significant increase in performance from the 3870K to the 5800K. We are looking at nearly a 25% increase, and overall smoothness and playability was increased dramatically.
DiRT 3
I selected the High preset and put post processing to medium. 4X AA was enabled as well. The built in benchmark was used.
Yet again the Intel 3000 is chunking. Hard. We see a very solid 20% increase in performance for the 5800K over the 3870K. I am still amazed that you can get this kind of performance and quality out of an integrated part.
Battlefield 3
Settings were placed at Medium presets with a 1280x960 resolution. I did a manual runthrough of the first mission up until bad people start really shooting at me. I don't like it when people shoot at me. Much.
We again see a nice a bump in performance going from the 3870K to 5800K. Overall smoothness in the title itself is much improved. It isn't buttery smooth, but it is more than playable in single player mode. The Intel part continued to crash throughout testing and we were unable to get any data out of this run.
Borderlands 2
The new hotness got its moment in the sun for this review. I hand tuned the settings with AO on, DoF off, AF off, far view distance, and FXAA off. I ran around the first mission and killed some poor creatures, all the while capturing it with FRAPS.
We see a little less than 20% scaling, but with a brand new title on the market it is not surprising. We do see a lot more performance, and gameplay was much smoother. The 5800K does seem to deliver on promises about how much better the graphics are for this particular product. The Intel i3-2105 also continued to crash throughout testing, so we were unable to get any results.
Power Consumption
The A10 was very efficient at idle, consuming only 44 watts at the wall (this was the entire system). Llano did a little worse, but not bad. The older Intel model had much worse idle performance, but anything under 60 watts is really good. Once we get into Load then we see that the A10 is the hotter processor. The Llano is quite a bit more efficient, but it is also a lot slower. The Intel i3... that is very efficient, but when we look at performance we see that it is lacking.
The graphics performance of Trinity is second to none when we are looking at that particular piece. But that is not the whole of the product. How does Piledriver perform? Are the improvements at the full 3.8 GHz enough to get it over the hump and beat Intel at that price point? Do GPGPU type applications really see a speed up in this product? These are all good questions, and they go unanswered with this preview. You will need to read what will come next week to see the entire product. We showed you the good parts, but the warts are going to be exposed. Perfect product? Not really, but at least as far as we can see a step in the right direction. Stay tuned for next week as we show off the full monty.
Uhh, you got a credibility problem here.
I really don't see the problem here. companys do that all the time. someone is just cranky. hence why im not on that particular sight and here reading a preview of trinity.
I want to read it, too. I just think pcper could have done better to inform readers of the situation so that we can judge ourselves.
Btw, I am not saying you can't publish this preview. But it's better to make it absolutely clear that this preview is limited by what AMD allows you to do. At least, please let people know what's going on. Anand dedicated a full section to explain how their preview is limited by NDA.
Fair feedback, but knocking our credibility is kind of a crock. Limited releases of information happen all the time either by hardware hold backs, driver hold backs, etc. this just happen to be via email agreement.
Updating to point that out should be done though.
I apologize for my original offensive wording. I followed you for quite a long time now, and I was quite disappointed to see that you didn't mention AMD's NDA at all. It will make your article look like a deliberate choice to please AMD, instead of a limited preview due to legal reasons.
Btw, I am aware of the last paragraph, but I can't tell if you are willingfully postponing it, or being forced to do so. That makes a difference in my opinion, and thus my first comment is born. Thank you for the clarification.
Just added an editor's note at the top.
Thanks, that helps. I'd still say that NVIDIA sending 660's for review and not 650's isn't the same thing. The same thing would be saying you can only test the 660's using the following games, BL2, BF3 and you can release full benchmarks in a few weeks. Am I missing something?
Still good to see information I guess. Just looking at it with a HUGE asterix next to it :-)
Thank you. I agree data is data, and the updated note should solve any potential confusion of the situation.
Between your stance on the 7950 'now with boost' and your stance on this issue, I'm suddenly noticing that pcper is starting to go down in quality. And I don't blame your guys Ryan, I blame you because they all march to the beat of your drum. Maybe it's been too long since you we're just a regular guy with a blog, and you've forgotten what it's like not to be a fancy always-traveling super-journalist.
You run your own successful business and I have enormous respect for that. You've been producing very interesting, high quality and often very original content for quite a while now. Your podcast is just about the best one out there. But you're risking it in the long term if you don't remember who your customers are. We are your customers Ryan, your readers, listeners and fans.
For better or for worse, when I was approached to do this preview, I really did not hesitate to do it. It was not a money grab for me. I really didn't worry about page views either. My first thought was, "Hey, this is cool that we can show what the integrated graphics portion looks like in games, which is what people are really curious about!" The enthusiast in me jumped for it. We get to show off a major piece of the puzzle that is Trinity.
Throughout writing, I made sure that it was clearly labeled "preview". I even put in the somewhat sarcastic "graciously" part, though I probably should have been a bit more obvious with how presenting it. We figured that AMD was attempting steer reviews into showing the strength of the product rather than dwelling on the weaknesses. While some may look at this and say, "Oh, you clever AMD..." I think that what they did here is shortsighted. The ethics here are really not all that bent. I really don't have a problem with what AMD had, because we as journalists have a job to get to the bottom of any product. Once these puppies are out in the wild, and we have the opportunity to report fully on this part, it will be done with an eye on testing every aspect of the product. The bomb for AMD is that people see the preview, they get rather excited about what else this mysterious little bit of technology can offer, and they get their hopes up. Once the full review hits and people see all aspects of performance, I think the backlash is going to be much more severe because of the greater expectations that were lead on by those GPU results.
I think AMD will certainly live and learn from this example. But don't blame Ryan, or think that he tarnished his integrity. We wanted to get readers (and consumers) information about this product ASAP. If a user wants an APU and wants to be able to play these games on them, then they know what kind of performance they will get. If a user wants something that performs well all around, they have to wait a few days to see that, as this preview did nothing to satisfy them. All questions by these folks will then be answered, and they will have the ability to decide for themselves what is best for their usage models.
Look at it from our point of view. We have a super annoying Sleeping Dogs ad on this site that's way too easy to accidentally click on, and it's now 2 occasions in the last few months where AMD showed its customers the middle finger and the official pcper stance has been: hey, this kind of thing happens all the time, it's not that bad.
For what it's worth, I believe that you believe everything you said. And I honestly appreciate the sentiment.
Pcper should have stood in solidarity with techreport on this issue. If all the noteworthy tech sites did that, we could collectively slap AMD across the face like a naughty puppy.
As an aside, I want you to consider this. There is not enough money at AMD to be spent on serious R&D, or hell, even on their driver engineers, but they can pay a bunch of marketing assholes to act like intel in 2004.
This is an interesting situation. While pre-release's do happen, this does seem like an attempt by AMD to use "first day" news to get all the kudos they can. I'm not sure I agree with the "happens all the time" though Ryan. If a company has hardware holdbacks or the product really is a "preview", the company tells you that and you call it out.
What is AMD's reason for waiting until some time in October to release the rest of the information? Is there some missing hardware, new code, driver, did they forget a pin? Seems to be just a timing thing which is what makes it smell funny.
Without being on the inside, I can only form opinions based on what I have access to. I will say I don't think it changes your credibility but I would agree that a blog post or something about the situation and your take on it and why you are posting "preview" info would be helpful for your readers..
my two cents :-)
i really hope you talk about this on your next podcast!
i somewhat understand the pros and cons of this, but it seems like tech reports stance on this is a little backwards.
where was the data? instead i got something i didnt wanna read about and ended up going elsewhere.
i understand Amd and tech websites wanna generate buzz and views/hits and inform their readers but TR did it in the wrong way and made something out of nothing.
data is data and people wanna know
hence why im here
Ooooh, how exciting! Our first big controversy of the Fall season! Truth be told, I was not entirely pleased with the preview, because I had not gotten all the data I wanted. However, the first actual results are interesting and people want to know how it performs. We have a limited view of performance (to the GPU), but it is a start. Hopefully it will cause people to lick their lips and want to dig in more. That is what the full release will be about. Trinity is an interesting processor, but what great novel have you ever read without both agony and ecstasy involved?
AMD explained a few times why they haven't said much about Trinity. They have been trying to sell all of the Llanos they can before Trinity comes out. There have been trinity desktop chips being sold by certain OEM's for some time so there should already be plenty of information floating around about them. If readers are really concerned about what Trinity can do, you can look it up from a few months ago. This is just publicity. All of the relevant information was released during the summer.
two questions in the spirit of fairness and reproducibility:
1) what drivers did you use for the Intel parts?
2) why did you choose to compare against Intel HD 3000 vs the Intel HD 4000 which is available at a similar price point (Core i3-3225)?
3) AMD stipulated that the review had to be about gaming experience. How about a $60 Sandybridge Pentium or Celeron + a $60 discrete card?
I thought there was only two questions?
We used the latest Intel graphics drivers for the i3 2105. There was no skimping there.
Intel only provides a certain number of CPUs for any launch, and those are mainly reserved for the biggest/greatest. So, on such short notice, we did not have the best potential candidates for comparison. Budgets are limited, and we cannot purchase every piece of technology ourselves without going flat broke. As such, we did purchase a 4000 series based processor, but it did not arrive in time for testing. Plus, there is that issue of price point for that particular processor.
Results of a $60 CPU plus $60 graphics card will be forthcoming. You can even get a glimpse of performance if you look at GTX 630 based review around the web being run on high end processors...
Thank you for making it known that *everyone* does this. Nvidia and Intel.
I think this whole thing just needs to get blown way out of control so people can finally wake up and realize that all of these reviews come with guides that tell you how you're supposed to review the product to make it look the best.
AMD has always sucked at this and they're finally doing what Intel and Nvidia do, and everyone is throwing a pissy fit. If you don't like what AMD is doing, bitch at everyone instead of just picking on AMD. They guidelines of making this sort of behavior have been established long ago.
Thanks for the post Josh, Trinity is showing some real promise in what you have shown us so far, looking forward to your full review with positive anticipation. Do you know when we can expect to see some AMD FM2 socket motherboards??
While FM2 boards are not available at retail yet, most of the mobo guys have FM2 parts listed on their websites. We will probably see some models leak out this weekend in anticipation of the early October release.
Well I understand that you guys are just humoring them with this post. I don't think it undermines ANY of PcPers credibility.
Just a bunch of whiners on here today i guess.
I understand that you don't want to piss off someone who gives you guys parts to review. Its obviously the case with anybody else who posts a similar review.
I also believe that you are being truthful, and appreciate any information that you guys are allowed to give us.
I just read a supposed copy of AMDs e-mail.
Some if it kinda made me mad, how they try and manipulate you guys with the clever wording.
"We are allowing limited previews of the embargoed information to generate additional traffic for your site"
Somebody kick that guy in the nuts, that's just plain rude.
Are reviews referred to in this fashion often?
As a dedicated reader, I want to know about it.
"We believe there are an infinite number of interesting angles available for these preview articles within this framework."
I guess you guys wouldn't know what to write, apparently they dont think you guys do this for a living?
"In previewing x86 applications, without providing hard numbers until October, we are hoping that you will be able to convey what is most important to the end-user which is what the experience of using the system is like. As one of the foremost evaluators of technology, you are in a unique position to draw educated comparisons and conclusions based on real-world experience with the platform."
Last i checked, anybody that gives a crap about new processors are the same people that want hard numbers. No?
Any normal users I know dont even know there are 2 processor manufacturers, they definitely dont care about benchmarks.
Well after reading that e-mail, i would really appreciate it if you guys would bring up and openly talk about these kinds of things.
I don't like that you guys are referred to like that, and i don't like that readers are referred to like that either.
That email just lost AMD a customer.
I'm sure that Intel and NVIDIA aren't any better, but AMD isn't in any position to be cocky about anything.
""We believe there are an infinite number of interesting angles available for these preview articles within this framework."
I guess you guys wouldn't know what to write, apparently they dont think you guys do this for a living?"
lol, good point :p. I can't really comment on whether this is common or not as I don't handle that sort of back end stuff, but we tried to find a good mix of graphical benchmarks to compare against the Intel chip at least. The full review will have a lot more information, and hopefully an Intel chip with HD4000 graphics for sake of comparison.
Don't get mad, bro. All manufacturers do this. I guess his email sorta directing us didn't even really phase me. All PR people send out review guides, list out "best practices", and in situations like this tell us what we can and can't release. There has obviously been a lot of turnover at AMD, and we are dealing with newer people who may not have experienced the pitfals that Peter obviously walked into. I would not go as far as Scott in publishing the email, but the overall tone and topics covered is really nothing new. I think a lot of PR folks will probably take this to heart and really watch what they post out. It is something of a gentleman's agreement that most correspondence between reviewers and PR people are meant to be kept out of the public spotlight.
Also, we are all big boys here. I have been doing this for some 15+ years now, Ryan has been running this site for 11 or 12 years as well. We have our ways of testing things, and while we listen to the PR guys, at the end of the day we decide how to review a product, and what properties we find most important. We all understand that an uneasy truce that lies between PR and press. PR people have a job to promote their product and help to sell it... so that they continue to find meaningful employment. Press has a job to dig deep into these products and expose the positives and negatives in an even handed manner so that they continue to have an active readership, and continue to find meaningful employment.
Thanks for the replys guys.
I was just venting, sorry about that.
I dont take it back though, i hope the new guy is reading all of this hate from the hardcore, and learns a lesson.
I'm glad to hear that this doesn't phase you, and i know you are a big boy. However its really shady.
I still would like these kind of back room dealings to be made more public. Weither its before of after it happens. I understand that you sign NDAs. However this stuff needs to be discouraged and looked down upon, for fear of word getting out.
I'm sure NVIDIA encouraged everyone to not do non gaming benchmarks for the 600 series (they seem to be hard to find). Even that is not ok. No, i personally dont care about non gaming benchmarks for GPUs (I game on my cards), but im sure plenty of other people do.
I will be more than happy to buy a competitors part if somebody wants to be a jerk about shaping the press.
Will AM3+ version also be released along the FM2 version? Or do we have to wait longer?
Still, so far so good. Can't wait for full review next week :)
AM3+ gets Vishera next month. Apparently AMD will port Steamroller to AM3+ as well, but that is next year and things can change. The latest leak does show that AMD is wanting to consolidate the socket infrastructure for the desktop, so I would imagine that we will see more of a move to FM2 for most enthusiast level parts by next year at the earliest.
Very shady to play along under AMDs dictatorship of releasing information. We can all play dumb but we know full well that by allowing only the good benchmarks first and releasing all the poor ones later is no different than making an agreement with AMD to not publish the bad benchmarks at all. We're all smart enough to know that 'real' reviews posted several weeks later aren't payed attention to. By that point the damage has been done and everyone views the product as some great hardware that it really isn't.
Shame on AMD.
I will disagree with you there. I think in fact AMD's handling of this will backfire on them, but not for the reasons you state. By allowing a preview that contains only the good stuff, most users' curiosity will be piqued. They will want to learn more. They will be hopefull of this new architecture and what it brings. When they see the final product in a few days, I am wondering if that initial positivism will be dashed. And in the end, users will look at it in a much more negative light because their initial impression was so positive, and the swing towards disappointment will be much more severe? I guess we will find out next week!
One aspect I really don't like about this is that it puts the reviewer in a no-win situation where you either piss off the manufacturer or piss off your audience. As a viewer of this webpage (Or as a consumer in a consumer based society in general) I think that we, the masses, play an important role in shaping the boundary of 'what is right' and what is not. Please don't confuse our displeasure with disrespect for the work that you do. We understand that if you don't publish, many other sites will. While I respect TR for their choice I also understand that not every reviewer will feel the same way. That is why as a 'customer' of this website AS WELL AS AMD I can act as a positive force to push AMD to behave ethically (as I see it) by making my thoughts feel known in the comment sections of articles such as this.
The only way that we viewers can keep honest review sites running is by standing up for sites like PCPer. An honest PCPer cannot exist if it's viewer base is not honest itself.
I forgot to mention earlier (yes Josh, I'm still mad at AMD)
To whoever is bitching about the vs HD 4000 graphics.
Is just looking for things to whine about.
Seriously who needs a benchmark to show them that Intel's GPUs are still bad?
Ill give you a sneak preview right now of the outcome of that test. Intel graphics still suck. Shocking, i know.
Who would have thunk it?
When Intel actually cares about supporting their GPUs then benchmarks will actually matter.
LOL, what Intel drivers did you use.
I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say that there hasn't been a new driver since launch.
Anyway, i'm excited to read the full review!
And you would be wrong. Sandybridge launched Jan2011. There were at least 5 driver updates last year and several this year including drivers that support Sandybridge and Ivybridge on Win7 and Win8 in July; expect another update in the next couple weeks for win8 launch.
Hd4000 may not be as fast an iGpu as these top two desktop trinity skus, but at least it wouldn't be a lopsided/unfair comparison. Can you imagine the howling if someone did a review comparing intel hd4000 against an AMD 785 igp?
Would you say it's similar or identical to comparing intel CPUs at twice, or more, the price range of AMD APUs in a review, knowing that APUs aren't going to be great in x86 performance?
If you're interested in graphics performance, maybe reviews like legitreview did with an i7-3920XM, which introed for over 1000 dollars, vs an A10-4600M more to your liking?
Did you know that intel compiled benchmarks run better on intel systems?
Can you imagine the howling?
We have these in stock at Micro Center. No idea when compatible boards will arrive..

Its kind of a major plot point. Lets just say that the LED Mirage is not made to fight normal battles, but battles on a much, much higher battleground.terminus wrote:intresting, but why is it that I aways see the LED Mirage so many times, (it dosen't realy seem that speacial, unique, or rare). And what exactly are they made to battle with the fantasy/fairy tale thing?
not exactly. The "normal" Mirage Machines (Horned, Terror, Cross, Rogue, MH Auge, Schpeltor, Speed etc) are simply very powerful Top-tier Mortar Headds. They in no way shape or form compare to a true Machine Messiah from the Super Empire era.p.s. so I'm guessing MM (like MM Auge) and Mirages (LED, KOG, Jagd, Mighty series, etc.) are on par with each other?
The Jagd Mirage is in a class all its own. No normal Mortar Headd has any chance against it...it would probably take an entire squadron of top-tier MH's piloted by very powerful Headdliners with top-grade Fatimas to destroy one. Nagano has mentioned that one of the Jagd's will be destroyed in a future battle (a very epic battle) but the circumstances of its destruction are unknown at this time.
However, regardless of how powerful the Jagd Mirage is compared to other Mortar Headds, it (probably) doesn't stand a chance against a true Machine Messiah like a Yen Xing or possibly the MM: AUGE. First of all, the Machine Messiah were meant to amplify the abilities of Super Empire Headdliners (Known as Chivalries) which are about 10 times stronger than Joker Era Headdliners. I doubt if a Joker era Headdliner could use a Machine Messiah to its full potential, which is why we will probably never see the MM: AUGE's full capabilities.
The Knight of Gold is kind of an enigma. We're not sure exactly how powerful it is. As far as Engine Output is concerned, it is slightly under the Jagd Mirage. However is it on the same scale as the LED Mirage or simply a very powerful MH like the other Mirage Machines? We're not sure, its very mysterious and like its pilot and its co-pilot, its power is not fully understood.
The LED Mirage is a freak. Its so powerful, its not even considered a Mortar Headd. It requires a new classification to measure it, so now it is known as a Mortar Messiah. It is so powerful that no MH, MM, creature, being or spirit can defeat it. Not even a Dragon and its possible for it to even challenge gods! Of course, using it is extraordinarily dangerous, which is why it is only used a few times in Joker history. The amount of destruction just one LED can wreak limits their usefulness in normal combat. They are also notoriously difficult to control and not simply any fatima/headdliner combination can control one fully.
The LED's that were used during the Colus/Hagooda war were test models for the purpose to combat-testing the LED's armor plating. They weren't full power models. The fact that Sir Sydmian (the 5th Black Knight) was able to go toe-to-toe with a LED Mirage is a testament to his skill as a pilot and Fatima EST's amazing capabilities as well as the power of Vatshu and EST's Synchronize Flutter.
Later tonight I plan to create a thread about classifyng Mortar Headds and where they fall in relation to one another. Hopefully those posters who are knowledgable about such thing will grace us with their presence soon.

WELLINGBOROUGH, England—According to a recently released IMS Research report, 2014 will be the year that sales of network video surveillance equipment finally surpass analog. The report said that the growth of the network video surveillance market and the decline of the analog market will lead to this transition in 2014. However, the transition in terms of shipments of network cameras themselves will not occur until "far beyond" 2014.
Security Systems News, sister publication of Security Director News, conducted a Q&A with IMS Research analyst Gary Wong. Below, Wong answers SSN's questions about the report.

NWSB Insider and BC Lions' blogger Ben Lypka tells you why the BC Lions need to move from BC Place to the waterfront stadium where the Vancouver Whitecaps play. I know we're only three games into the 2013 season but the Lions are averaging a pretty mediocre 26,623 – good for fifth in the CFL. They're really only outdrawing Toronto because the only other teams below them (Hamilton and Montreal) don't even have enough seats to draw 26,000.
BC Lions should have Waterfront dreams

Gomi Review
To describe Gomi as a combination of Rolando and Katamari Damacy does a disservice to Gomi's unique qualities. Yes, Gomi is a blob that you roll by tilting your iDevice, and he does devour larger and larger objects as your progress through each stage. But we discovered, to our great shock, other notable influences: the gravity-defying physics of Super Mario Galaxy, the emotional resonance of Okami, and a stunning soundtrack that to our ears sounded similar to the work of synthesizer maestro Vangelis.
Your Gomi is a brightly-colored blob (you can alter its shape and hue by unlocking new looks throughout the game) who serves as a sort of organic recycling center. Trash goes in, including beach balls, toxic waste, and spacemen, and colorful flowers pop out. Your goals vary slightly in each stage, but generally they involve rolling at a slow, patient pace, leaping to stick to new areas, and collecting enough trash to move on to the next stage.
Balloons are pretty, but bad for the Earth.
While these basic tasks can feel a little dull at first, the game opens up wildly later on to include special abilities, like blowing up your Gomi like a puffer fish to move faster and pick up bigger objects. Plus, at the end of each of eight worlds, you'll face off against a unique boss, which can involve new objectives like saving baby seals or body slamming the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek.
Gomi is as eclectic as we'd hope a game could be. The visual style matches the recent cult favorite Enviro-Bear 2010, but Gomi plays much, much better. The background characters are drawn with a childlike messiness, like the Sheriff in the Adult Swim cartoon Squidbillies. Plus, the game even conveys a deeply touching environmental message towards the end, as cheerful tones become somber, and the black and yellow beach balls, it's revealed, are radioactive warning signs turned slightly to the side.
This game has lots of heart.
All this, in a game ostensibly about a rolling shape with two facial expressions: joy and surprise. Having spent over seven hours beating the game's 40+ levels, joy and surprise are on our faces too. Even after completing this epic campaign, we're only 25% done with the game'" the rest requires us to revisit each level for dozens of unique achievements, including time limits, combo strings and high scores. Plus, Gomi contains eight unlockable minigames that would be separate paid downloads in any other game.
It's rare to find a game that successfully brings together multiple influences and creates an amazing new experience. Although the various, recognizable aspects of Gomi (like rolling and platforming) will appeal to those who love other games, Gomi could easily form its own dedicated fanbase as well. Our hats are off to Bovinedragon for combining stellar sound, gameplay and graphics into an engaging and entertaining adventure.

BRIDGEWATER, MASS. – William Paterson (1-1) scored 17 straight points to get within a field goal by halftime, but host Bridgewater State (1-1) distanced itself from the Pioneers during the second half for a 41-24 result Sept. 14.
WP wasted no time, finding the end zone 59 seconds into the contest when sophomore running back Darius Kersey (Dover, N.J./Dover) caught a short screen pass, made a man miss at the line of scrimmage, cut across the field and raced up the right sideline for a 58-yard score. Junior Robert Sinegra (Wharton, N.J./Morris Knolls) kicked the extra point and the Pioneers suddenly had a 7-0 lead.
The Bears punted to end their first possession but the ball bounced and touched a William Paterson defender. A.J. Pascuzzo recovered the ball in the end zone and the two teams were tied, 7-7, with 11:21 on the clock.
An interception gave Bridgewater State the ball at its own 44-yard line, and four plays later Blaise Branch carried it in from two yards out. The PAT kick was no good, but the Bears had their first lead at 13-7 with 7:19 remaining in the first quarter.
A miss wide left by Sinegra from 46 yards kept WP off the scoreboard, and BSU used a 30-yard completion when it looked like it was going to punt to keep the chains moving during its next drive. Quarterback Mike McCarthy finished the possession with a one-yard run into the end zone to open the second quarter (20-7, 14:56).
After forcing a Pioneer punt, the Bears' offense again found pay dirt, this time a 49-yard pass play from McCarthy to Matthew Green to make it a 27-7 margin with 7:59 to play in the first half.
A roughing the passer penalty on third-and-seven helped to keep William Paterson's next possession alive, and the Pioneers took advantage when senior quarterback Ryan Gresik (Newton, N.J./Newton) found senior tight end Brian Winfield (Newton, N.J./Newton) for a five-yard touchdown (27-14, 5:00). A Bear fumble of the ensuing kickoff was caused and recovered by freshman Jason Montalvo (Hoboken, N.J./Hoboken) at the BSU-26, and three plays later Gresik hit Kersey for a 12-yard score (27-21, 3:43).
With Bridgewater State threatening at the WP-36, McCarthy was sacked by sophomore Carlo Caponetta (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan) on first down, forcing a fumble that junior defensive lineman Al Kamara (North Brunswick, N.J./North Brunswick Twp.) recovered. The WP offense twice converted on third down and Sinegra capped a 12-play, 61-yard drive with his 18-yard field goal as time expired, sending the Pioneers into the locker room trailing by just three at 27-24.
The Bears received the ball to start the second half and promptly engineered a scoring drive that ended with a Branch six-yard run, handing Bridgewater a 34-24 edge at the 10:31 mark.
Following a missed 45-yard WP field-goal attempt, the two teams traded punts until a Pioneer goal-line defensive stand to start the fourth quarter. On fourth-and-one at the BSU-24, Gresik was intercepted, and the McCarthy one-yard TD run more than five minutes later all but ended the Pioneers' comeback hopes (41-24, 3:18).
Gresik was 25-for-42 for 293 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, becoming WP's career attempts leader (703) in the process. Sophomore Dwaine Dabney (Summit, N.J./Summit) led the ground game with nine carries for 35 yards. Kersey caught four passes for 94 yards and two scores, and junior Mike Vannucci (Bethpage, N.Y./Plainedge) hauled in five passes for 71 yards.
Junior linebacker Ben Allen (Ventnor, N.J./Atlantic City) led the Pioneer defense with 11 tackles (10 solo, 2.0 TFL). Freshman defensive back Mike Nyantakyi (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) made seven stops (five solo, 1.0 sack) and Kamara added a fumble recovery to his six tackles (five solo).
Freshman Jerome Alexander (Montclair, N.J./Glen Ridge) returned four kickoffs for 139 yards (34.8 average), including a long of 49.
McCarthy finished 10-for-14 for 188 yards and a touchdown, and carried 25 times for 96 yards and two scores for Bridgewater State. Green caught seven passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and Stephen Jacobs paced the defense with seven tackles (five solo, 2.0 TFL).
William Paterson will begin New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) play Saturday, Sept. 21, at Cortland at 12:00 p.m.

Oct. 27, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - With a 30-13, 30-12, 30-16 victory over Mount Holyoke College on Saturday, MIT finished the season unscathed in NEWMAC play and earned the top seed going into next week's Championship Tournament. The Lyons will return to Rockwell Cage on Tuesday, Oct. 30 for a quarterfinal match-up slated to begin at 7:00 p.m.
With Carrie Buchanan at the service line, the Engineers (32-1, 9-0 NEWMAC) opened the match with nine unanswered points. Mount Holyoke (5-20, 1-8 NEWMAC) posted several points in bunches, but they could not overcome the deficit as the Cardinal and Gray's margin eventually grew to 17 points (24-7).
The Lyons tallied the first four points of the second stanza, which were countered with seven straight behind strong serving from MIT's Lindsay Hunting. Mount Holyoke stayed within striking distance, eventually trailing by three (13-10). On the ensuing side out by the Engineers, Hunting's prowess at the service line helped extend the margin to 20-10. The Lyons capitalized on a pair of MIT service errors down the stretch, but Tech bounced back with a six-point serving run by Buchanan, which featured an ace to cap the game.
In the final frame, Mount Holyoke established a 3-1 edge. The Engineers picked up the next four points, which was answered by three from the Lyons to regain the lead (6-5). Back-to-back points and then a service error by MIT evened the contest at seven. A side-out and powerful serving from Katie Rowe helped the Engineers take an 18-7 advantage. Mount Holyoke narrowed its deficit to single digits twice, the last occurring at 19-10. The Cardinal and Gray captured the next two points to reestablish its double-digit advantage for the remainder of the match.
The Engineers turned in a trio of efficient hitting performances. Rowe led the pack with 18 kills on two errors and 24 attempts (.667), to go along with four blocks and three aces. Barden Cleeland posted 12 kills with three errors and 18 attempts (.500) as Rose Zhong notched seven kills on 15-errorless swings (.467) and nine digs. Buchanan tallied 11 digs and four aces while Hunting collected 10 digs and five aces. Katrina Ellison bolstered MIT's defense with four blocks. Amanda Morris and Cassy Piela split setting duties for the second consecutive match. Morris dished out 29 assists in two games of work while Piela registered 10 in the third game.
Rachel West and Amadna Trask each recorded four kills as West distributed 12 assists. Kathryne Schwartz paced Mount Holyoke with nine digs while Rosa Marruffo finished with seven of her own. Chelsea Tracy and Brenna Shepherd each earned four aces.

Citigroup's Vikram Pandit is no longer the company's CEO. According to sources, Citigroup's board showed him the door. And it was probably about time.
Earlier this year, Citigroup's shareholders got smart by rejecting a plan to pay Pandit $15 million. Privately, that didn't sit too well with him. Last year, he received a $1.67 million salary and a $5.3 million cash bonus - chump change, by global banking standards. In 2010 and 2011 he got a $1 annual salary, which is probably 0.75 cents more than he deserved.
Continue Reading Below
Lest I remind you, Pandit took Citigroup's shareholders to the cleaners.
Over his five-year tenure, Pandit collected around $261 million including $165 from the purchase of his hedge fund named "Old Lane Partners LP." Shortly after acquiring the fund, Citi's shareholders got smacked with a $202 million write-down.
Citigroup, like many banks, has a real talent for picking underperforming CEOs and then paying them too much. (See Citi's former CEO Charles Prince.)
Relative to its peer group, Citi's stock performance versus S&P financials (NYSEARCA:XLF) says it all.
Over the past five years, Citi lost -91.29% in value compared to a -50.71% loss for XLF. That's a whopping 40.58% difference! (See chart below) Furthermore, Citi has also underperformed other peer yardsticks like the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (NYSEARCA:KBE). (As a side note, more investors should do what we do at ETFguide.com - benchmark individual stocks versus their peer sector ETFs to get a more accurate grasp of actual performance. Stocks that consistently underperform their sectors are usually bad investments.)
Nobody knows what's next for Pandit the Bandit. But $261 million for 91% compounding losses was a good heist while it lasted.
And the painful memories of 91% losses over the past five years will be hard for Citigroup's shareholders to forget. But as last place teams like to say: "There's always next year."
