"Oct. 1" (aka, "Just make something up")
It seems that news of the demo I did the other day (a repeat of what we'd shown publicly three weeks earlier) is bouncing all around the online tech press. People are excited that the Photoshop team is exploring ways to make the app feel faster and smoother, and that's all good. What's irritating, though, is just how much bogus info is getting invented, passed around, and swallowed without question.
Gizmodo is repeating info found on a site called TG Daily, stating that "Photoshop CS4" (a term that I've never heard anyone from Adobe use publicly) "is expected to be released on October 1." Uhh… expected by whom? And based on what?
I didn't say anything about schedule. In fact, I never said that any of this stuff is promised to go into any particular version of Photoshop. Rather, as with previous installments, it's a technology demonstration of some things we've got cooking–nothing more.
Doesn't matter, though: Someone pulled a date apparently out of thin air, and now everyone who can copy & paste is dutifully repeating it. The fish story grows with the telling, too. In addition to repeating the date, Electronista is inventing new details (e.g. "CS3 has already had limited support for graphics processing units (GPUs) for certain filters"; sorry, no; "An upcoming wave of video cards with special physics processing will also help, Adobe explains"; nope, didn't say that; and more). Where do people get this stuff? It's particularly annoying to see made-up info presented as a response from Adobe–to questions that were never asked. (Contacting Adobe PR, or me directly, to confirm some detail isn't exactly tough.)
I'm not feeling a lot of confidence in the tech press these days. People just make up whatever they want, creating a bunch of expectations & misperceptions that people like me have to try to unravel. There's no disincentive to doing so: the sites still get their ad impressions, and clearly bloggers and readers are all too happy to take what they read at face value.
I don't know what to tell you, as the quest for ad bucks is eroding journalistic standards across the board. "Caveat lector," and I'll keep trying to share actually legitimate information here.
PS–I found this warez link kind of hilarious. Not only are people inventing product info in order to entice you to download a bunch of unknown executable code onto your machine (something from the Eliot Spitzer Memorial Hall Of Unprotected Terrible Ideas); now they're actually using Photoshop to design fake Photoshop packaging! (Screenshot here in case the shady server disappears.)
Well CS4 sounds like the logical suffix to use in a next version of Photoshop, seeing as how it progressed from CS, CS2 and now CS3.
[You're missing the point, which is that I repeatedly and clearly stated that this stuff was a technology preview, and that it had no shipping date whatsoever attached to it. Unfortunately people getting paid a couple of bucks per post couldn't care less about nuance, and they feel free to fabricate whatever info they'd like. It's weak sauce, though it wouldn't bother me if it didn't generate bogus expectations among customers–something I then have to try to sort out. –J.]
I visit several forums and blogs and its always interesting how things that someone saw on another forum start to take on a life of their own. One of the problems of electronic media and mass information. I take most things with a grain of salt but I feel for the people and businesses that have to deal with the BS on a daily basis. Terry
John, in this PDF http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/pdfs/ps_cs3_64-bitsupport_FAQ.pdf, Adobe is talking about "performance gains in the next release of Photoshop" and "foundational improvements—for example, greater use of graphics processors".
So please tell us the PDF is true and bring the GPU power to CS 4 ;)
Got to agree with you mate.
It gets to the point that you really dont want to blog anything for fear of being miss-quoted.
As for the 'warez' site thing. It'd be laughable if it wasn't sop tragic!
Don't let it get you down mate.

Oh typical, the Tech World has never had the bread and butter of strong journalists.
It's a damned shame to go from misinterpretation to downright laziness. This isn't journalism anymore, it's merely popular blogs of utmost speculation.
it must be very frustrating for you guys, but honestly – who believes these rumour sites anyway?
everybody with the slightest understanding of technology development or project management would understand, that a new version of ANY software doesn't "just happen over night". i even get the point and i am just a designer and photographer.
not to mention any marketing sense: IF a major change or version would be released soon it would be the developers marketing strategy to share the information.
1+1 still makes 2, even in our networked digital world, and whoever believes everything these rumours blogs and sites publish should engage the top few inches first.
having said all of that, i'd like to order cs4 please, shipment next week will be just fine. thanks… oh, could you please build in a bit more intelligence, because it would be nicel if photoshop would do all the retouching for me while i take my kid to the beach. perfect, thanks!
Thanks for the info…I do have ask one thing…please tell me we will have the rotating canvas feature mentioned in the article in the next version of PS.
The fake Photoshop CS4 Box seems to be a German Video Training DVD.
I recognized it by the smoothed area in the label.
[Good scheisse! –J.]
Who do you expect us to believe, the press or some guy that simply has a nack for words and happens to blog with an Adobe url? :)
[Those guys are notorious charlatans–"immature," unprofessional, and all that (as demonstrated through customer engagement over a holiday weekend). Creeps! –J.]
I'm surprised they're not speculating on CS5-7 and 9 (because everyone knows CS8 will be a marketing release, and thus not worth the purchase price, though the direct eyeball connection will cause some buzz).
[Whatever good things we do, I'm sure our continued inattention to the Note Paper filter will be considered grounds for crucifixion. (I'm kidding; no one should hyperventilate.) –J.]
On the Warez posting: on close examination the graphic looks very much like a *book* mockup. I'm guessing a confused someone pulled it out of a book proposal and mistook it for/misrepresented it as Photoshop CS4. Pretty badly, too.
Ah-ha! I was wondering about all this. Especially when the internet bubbling rumours have turned into foaming in the mouth.
It, of course, will be interesting to see what finally makes it into CS Next (am I allowed to call it that?). I'm wondering what the effect of giving details before release has on the previous(currently being sold) version of the software.
Like knowing that Lightroom 2 has 64-bit functionality and enhanced features puts people off buying Lightroom 1 knowing that they'll soon have to hand over an upgrade fee?
"And based on what?" – Statistics?
They suck–this is not breaking news. However, I think 1 October is a perfectly good guess as the product cycles have historically and officially (well, stated publicly) been on an 18 month cycle. Sure, saying you said something you didn't sounds frustrating… but to say "is expected" seems totally reasonable to me.
I really think what you ought to do is invest in having your public comments transcribed. It'd save a lot of such arguments and also provide people a chance to read (way faster than watching) what was said. Have you considered what it would take to do this?
Well, Jack, you should be at least proud to say they are using Adobe's software at its finest! LOL!
I can only hope that the horrible interface shown in their screenshot won't appear in the next version of Photoshop, either.
Even Microsoft has finally understood that MDI was a very bad idea.
Ha! You Adobe guys actually have a sense of humor. Nice! :-)
Although Adobe hasn't used the name Photoshop CS4 publicly, that's exactly what it's called on the system that is used in the demo.
"I don't know what to tell you, as the quest for ad bucks is eroding journalistic standards across the board."
Uh, you think that's something new. It always happened whenever advertising pays the bills. It's just easier to find it now, with the aid of search engines.
I fear for the chilling effect this may have on Adobe and other developers. No tech demos or any sneak previews until the product launches. I guess this is why Apple is so secretive.
I am running a site "called TG Daily" and just came across your post. It is unfortunate you chose this route of communication and did not contact me directly about what you are unhappy about. Let me comment on just one claim you made here – that CS4 is "a term that I've never heard anyone from Adobe use publicly". As far as I can remember, this term has been around for a while, but perhaps Cnet, CRN and Macworld are more credible than TG Daily to you?
Contact me, if you want to discuss this any further. I have contacted your PR department and you can find my contact on our site.

Well said John. As always, your honesty is deeply appreciated.
Journalistic standards have fallen so far in the past 20 years… although thats partly due to the rise of the internet. In press rooms, they've always been on tight time constraints, and with the instantaneous nature of the internet, those constraints are even more frantic (frentic?).
That said, there simply is no excuse for bad fact checking.
Correction: I was called CS4 at Photoshop world. And, if i remember correctly there was even a graphic at Photoshop world that said CS4 on it . . . just saying.
[Hmm–I wasn't aware of that, and if that's what anyone from Adobe said, it was a mistake. At the analysts briefing in which I participated (with this same demo) a couple of weeks back, we showed a slide saying "CS.next," and that's the same slide that the NVIDIA presenter used to introduce my demo on Thursday. So, it's true that I haven't heard anyone from Adobe talk publicly about "CS4" (or 5, or 33.3), but I can't guarantee it hasn't (mistakenly) happened. –J.]
Well journos screwed up ad now they are trying to cover themselves by blaiming some other site who made the same mistake some time ago… what ever happened to good journalism?
That aside that as a cool demo, I hope you guys will be able to get this to the market as soon as possible… Care to elaborate if integrated graphics will also be the part of this deal or it's only for the high end boys?
I already download CS4 from the site you mention and is awsome… I am running it with my Mac G3 Beige, and run very fast, very responsive… and use only 16MB of RAM under Mac OS 8.
[I'm running it on a Speak-n-Spell, but I can't wait to integrate it with a Colecovision. Also, it makes delicious waffles. –J.]
So one of the myriad of suppositions has some basis?
There's nothing wrong with someone posting up "I reckon CS4 will be released in October because {insert reasoning}" or "I reckon this recently displayed technology will/will not be available in the next release because {insert reasoning}".
It's highly objectionable when opinion is presented as fact.
[Bingo. –J.]
To be fair, it's by no means just IT journalists who fall into this trap – it's almost de rigueur these days :(
Being a journalist myself, I have to hang my head just a little bit. It's an unfortunate part of the First Amendment that anyone can legitimately call himself or herself a journalist. They are free to do so simply because there's no way for the government to regulate such a thing Constitutionally.
So it comes down to the public having to voice their outrage at poor journalistic standards, at least with those bloggers who claim to be journalists. Hold their feet to the fire. Make them sweat. Don't let them get away with it. Unfortunately, sites like Gizmodo simply ban people from commenting at all if those commenters dare to criticize them. I'm amongst those proudly banned from that site for calling them to task for their antics at CES.
As readers of the tech press, we all have to keep in mind what Walter Lippmann said. "The theory of a free press is that truth will emerge from free discussion, not that it will be presented perfectly and instantly in any one account."
I think we can all put all debate about whether "CS4" is the suffix to use for the next version to rest, cos Adobe is offering Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Soundbooth CS4 betas for download: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_dreamweavercs4
[I wasn't saying that the next version of Photoshop would or would not be called "CS4"; I was saying that I hadn't demoed anything under that heading, and I mistakenly thought that no one else at Adobe had, either. –J.]
Hi John
As well as a director and animator, I also write a monthly column for UK magazine Computer Arts. This month I'll be tackling the growing trend for GPU acceleration in design related apps. I'd love to ask you a couple of questions in the next day or so (deadlines, don't you love 'em!) so that I ensure I get my facts straight! If you have a chance, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I think the statement "The package is expected to be released on October 1." Is not only reasonable, but not inaccurate. I mean, it doesn't even imply that this is the official launch date or that Adobe quoted this date.
I think if Adobe were to avoid all press (sort of like Apple) then there would be different results (mainly MORE speculation but few people inferring the information comes from Adobe). But, the tact Adobe uses is to pre-release information… seems to be expected and, so far, I haven't seen anything totally whacked.
well three cs4 betas went up today so they must have been on to something.
[My beef was with speculation being presented as fact, and with people simply repeating what others had written. –J.]
granted, hey wheres our PS CS4 beta?
"well three cs4 betas went up today so they must have been on to something".
I think the relevant thing about these CS4 betas is that they're outstanding (especially Soundbooth) rather than how they relate to that article's speculations.
If you visit Adobe's Soundbooth forum, you'll see a ton of user requests. And you'll also see that the SB CS4 beta addresses many or most of them in an impressive way.
Yum-o! Dreamweaver, my favorite! (It's what I use every week to write the EKB News Monitor, a site about Dish Network satellite news.)
I will have to play with Dreamweaver 10 (after all, CS3 = 9.0) to see what works well. As for me, I love to hand-write my code. (Helps reduce computer error problems in the end, too.)
"[I'm running it on a Speak-n-Spell, but I can't wait to integrate it with a Colecovision. Also, it makes delicious waffles. –J.]"
Sign me up! Finally, Adobe has it right! Photoshop: Colecovision Edition (aka PS: CE)! Where else can I play Space Fury, edit photos, and make waffles?
"I was saying that I hadn't demoed anything under that heading, and I mistakenly thought that no one else at Adobe had, either."
woah, these words deserve a sticky on this blog!
Any chance for a public Photoshop CS4 beta?
haha – I did not mention release vehicles or version numbers, did not indicate that features x, y and z would be in any release vehicle, simply gave a technology demonstration. Sounds like somebody is trying to keep the finance weenies from coming unhinged. :)
Interesting blog. Tom's Guide (TG) has a blog of their own up about this. Two things that are pretty interesting:
-they apparently have notes from the presentation which is where they got these facts from
-the fact that you've chosen to blog about your disappointment with them instead of contacting them directly and send out a Press Release stating that they misquoted you.
The Tom's sites in general have shown a tremendous amount of integrity with their reporting over the last 3 years (since I started visiting their site) and it's only getting better. So I find it a bit odd that they would make all of this up. In either case, without official documents or links to Adobe's site, most of their visitors know that this information can change at any moment since everything is in the alpha stages.
If you want to see REAL weak journalism, then I'd say take a look at the reviews on Extreme Tech.
John –
Sounds like you DID mention release dates, and this "technology" may not be CS4.. but it WILL be in there sooner or later…
[I have no recollection at all of mentioning any dates, and I have no idea why I would have done so. –J.]
You (& Adobe) are coming off as real lame, unfriendly & arrogant… hostile toward tech community…
[I just asked that people do a little more fact checking before posting. Members of the press contact us constantly with questions, and we always try to provide useful responses within timeframes that meet their deadlines. –J.]
Here is how I see it:
1. NVIDIA rushed to promote itself (demoting Intel/AMD at the same time) using someone else's demo.
2. TGDaily rushed to provide exclusive coverage of the event without checking with Adobe.
Result was that public now has certain expectations about next CS product from Adobe. Those expectations will affect product sales if they are not met.
So, TGDaily and NVIDIA did PR damage to Adobe with their questionable work ethics.
I side with John and Adobe.
John, you should have clarified that GPU support exists in some 3rd party plugins, just not in Adobe's own plugins.
It's a good way to stir up controversy over the CS4 release. Get some FREE publicity over nothing.
If you're that upset over this, you should wait for NVDIA to release the videotape of your talk and post it on YouTube. Until then, just rant in your shower about nothing.
I have not read anything on TG Daily that is false or has not been proven under whats currently available, check youtube.com or even adobe.com. you jumped the gun with your rant, you gotta commuicate better with your comrades…
[Sorry, but where is it you see Adobe people talking about a shipping date for the next version of the Creative Suite? –J.]
Phillip Kerman said:
"I think the statement "The package is expected to be released on October 1." Is not only reasonable, but not inaccurate. I mean, it doesn't even imply that this is the official launch date or that Adobe quoted this date."
I disagree. This is where I think the bar has been lowered.
Who expects that to be the shipping or release date? It evens gives a specific date within October. On the back of quoting (correctly) other things that Adobe did say, it gives the impression that the date is official. If it had said, "Based on previous release cycles, we expect to Adobe to release this in October" that would have been acceptable. It would plainly state that it is speculation and give the basis for that speculation.
Sorry, but it's lazy to throw in opinion mixed with fact and not clearly distinguish between the two. With web based reporting there's also the problem of mirroring and straight copying which removes the publisher even further from the source, meaning if there is a correct or clarification later such an amendment may not propagate down the line.
Finally, what this ends up doing is setting false expectations which end up helping no one.
We all like to hear the latest gossip, but I'd rather it was clearly presented as such than piggy-backed on real information in what appears to be an attempt to add legitimacy through association.
maybe they are basing it off of the expiration date built into the betas. Thats how it was figured out with CS3.
There is a nice little item on CS4 for the photo downloader…
It says CS4 in the image but cs3 in the text…
John,can you comment on http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/pdfs/ps_cs3_64-bitsupport_FAQ.pdf
It clearly states that the next Photoshop version will have "greater use of graphics processor"
Okay, I'll modify my opinion slightly… that is, I agree it's sloppy. But, I'll stick with my opinion that it's not very far off fact and I personally accept that most journalism is only some percentage accurate… say 80%. Whether that's acceptable or not is not terribly important–that's just the way it is.
"I don't know what to tell you, as the quest for ad bucks is eroding journalistic standards across the board."
Most of what people are saying (and perhaps repeating incorrectly) is due to excitement. There are a few major sites which gain revenue from advertising (they'll gain it regardless anyways) but the majority of the repeats found throughout the web are simply people getting excited about 'potential' features.
The community as a whole is looking for a speed bump. Adobe was on the right-track with CS2 and x64 support but got way off track in CS3. Opening a 50mb file is just simply a bear now as many people can attest to.
If Adobe was to do something 'right' the next go around, they will support x64 AND GPUs for handling large datasets.
If anything, this 'reporting' is just simply what image professionals wish to see in a future release and Adobe would be smart in sticking to that.
I think these articles have most of this correct, and the counter you have presented is misinformed as to the video releases.
Seems a bit of an over-reaction for what seems to be obvious slips of the tongue. The counterpoint is you say it's not Oct (Ok, but how is anyone to know other than Adobe folks, who could now make it Sept or Nov just to save face), and not necessarily CS4 despite all the preview stuff that says CS4, ends up like Vista/Longhorn where some apps still call it the codename even though it can be changed to whatever shortly before going RTM.
Seems like semantics to me. I'd prefer to just have people focusing on finally leveraging the power of GPGPU computing. It's obvious being on top has let people lose focus on what's important. I don't care what they report, I care about what you guys deliver.
I couldn't fit my thoughts here so I just posted to my blog: http://www.campphotoshop.com/Photoshop-CS4-is-everywhere
Make the windows on the mac version native again, I don't have any desire to resize them the tedious way you do on windows.
I hope this version will be fully multi-lingual like all the Mac OS X native applications !
It means multi-lingual in the interface and multi-lingual in the use with support for RTL languages …

I remember back before Creative Suite 1.0 came out how everyone was talking up Photoshop 8 and there were pre-release images floating around then. I know the verswion # was 8.x but still. The wonders of Photoshop.
"and clearly bloggers and readers are all too happy to take what they read at face value."
Personally – since I know where to find the source – I don't start making up rumors until after I've read your comments. Kidding.
I figure when it comes to PS News – whether I like what I hear or not – I'll go with what you say about it.
Thank you John for clarifying the mentioned post at TG Daily.
I'm a little bit surprised that the whole discussion here concentrated around names and dates. Much more interesting is the idea of using GPGPU in future versions of Photoshop. Could you give a more detailed information on this subject? Is it going to be NVIDIA CUDA? If so, then what makes Adobe confident about this technology? Is Adobe going to provide customer support for GPU owners? What are real benefits of using GPU?
Or maybe the whole news about the GPU usage is just a fantasy?
[It's not a fantasy, and we're laying groundwork for more extensive GPU usage in the future. I can't say much more right now. –J.]
lol this is funny. the comments are far funnier though.
& about the whole cs4. when i read that line, i just thought "oh well, he said it wasnt used publicly, maybe it was used privately"
Since it now looks like it will be "CS4", and "October 1" will be the date, perhaps you could be less of a pompous arse when you criticize media that either know more inside info than you do, or are less inclined to disinformation than you are. Thank you.
[Bite me, anonymous troll. I never said anything about when the product would ship. I took issue with irresponsible journalists who either fabricate information or who slavishly repeat what others have fabricated. Do try to keep up. –J.]
I hope this version will be fully multi-lingual like all the Mac OS X native applications !
It means multi-lingual in the interface and multi-lingual in the use with support for RTL languages …
Really. This is totally lame, you (John) did not do all YOUR research before running up half cocked against TG Daily. And you did it underhandedly in your blog instead of contacting the publication and author in an honest effort to correct the confusion. You say you are easy to get a hold of, and yet you don't bother to the same for others. Your unwarranted attack on TG Daily merely tarnishes your and Adobe's reputation.
[I'm not sure why you are commenting on this now. I already expressed regret 5 months back, and both the TG Daily guys and I moved on a long time ago. –J.]
Got to agree with you mate.
It gets to the point that you really dont want to blog anything for fear of being miss-quoted.

What is the Air Quality Index (AQI)?
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air.
The EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act (1990):
- ground-level ozone
- particle pollution (also known as particulate matter)
- carbon monoxide
- sulfur dioxide
- nitrogen dioxide
For each of these pollutants, EPA has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health. Ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the two pollutants that pose the greatest threat to human health in this country.

In my perfect world, I'd be able to eat whatever I want and control my weight with exercise alone, but the sad truth is that unless I'm prepared to run a marathon every week, I need to make smarter choices about the food that goes into my body. That's one of the things I need to work on this year, so this year I'm ditching the ice cream and eating more yogurt. And with yummy, healthier products like Breyers YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs and Fruit Parfaits, I can still indulge in an occasional sweet treat without getting sidetracked from my fitness goals. We've purchased quite a few YoCrunch Fruit Parfaits ever since we first reviewed them in September, so I was delighted to receive a second invitation to review the product -- along with their YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs yogurt products.
The Basics
Here's some information about Breyers YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs and Yogurt Parfaits:
· Breyers YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs: the first calorie-controlled yogurt product to be sweetened without artificial sweeteners. Instead, this yogurt is naturally sweetened with Truvia™ rebiana, a great-tasting, natural, zero calorie sweetener. Now available in five great flavors, you can purchase them at your favorite grocery, mass merchandisers, and specialty stores nationwide today. YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Packs are approx. $2.99-$3.19
· Breyers YoCrunch Fruit Parfait: the first layered fruit, yogurt and granola parfait to be in local grocery stores. YoCrunch® Fruit Parfait™ is available in three classic fruit flavors -- strawberry, blueberry and peach. Consumers will be able to find this yogurt at leading grocery stores nationwide at a suggested retail price of $2.89 for each four-pack container.
The Bongga
We're already big YoCrunch Fruit Parfait fans, so getting a free pack to try and rave about was like icing on the cake (or granola on the parfait). Having that bit of fruit and granola really elevates the yogurt into a real dessert! And oh my goodness, the YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs are a huge hit! We've never tried these before, and my kids thought their Vanilla Yogurt with Chocolate Chip Cookie Pieces was the best treat ever. They also have Vanilla Yogurt with Nestle Buncha Crunch candy pieces, Cheesecake Yogurt with Graham Cookie Pieces, and other yummy varieties. With flavors like these, who needs ice cream? And since each cup is just 100 calories, it's a great way to enjoy a luscious dessert without too many calories. In my previous review,
The Blah
The last time I reviewed the Fruit ParYfaits, I mentioned that we all wished the portions were bigger. I think I've changed my mind -- I think it's good for my kids to get used to smaller portion sizes. These little cups pack quite a lot of sweetness and creaminess for just 100 calories, so let's keep the sizes the way they are!
The Bottom Line
YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs and Fruit Parfaits make a perfect snack or dessert, and the perfect way to indulge your sweet tooth for a reasonable number of calories!
Win free YoCrunch® Fruit Parfait and YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Pack yogurt products
Breyer's is offering 10 lucky Bonggamom Finds readers a pair of YoCrunch coupons! Each winner will receive:
* 1 coupon for one free YoCrunch 100 Calorie four-pack
* 1 coupon for one free YoCrunch Fruit Parfait four-pack
If you'd like to try these yummy yogurt parfaits for yourself (US addresses only), leave a comment on this post with your email address and tell me which flavor you would most like to try.

KC teen arrested with gun at Hogan Prep
14-year-old tells police he brought gun to school for his protection
A 14-year-old boy was arrested Thursday after a handgun and live rounds were found in his backpack at Hogan Prep, Kansas City police said.
According to a police incident report, a couple of students flagged an assistant principal, telling her that the teen had a gun in his backpack.
The teen was taken to a secure room, and when the assistant principal asked if she could look in the backpack, he told her no.
Police officers were called to the school. Officers searched the boy's backpack and reported finding a Glock semi-automatic gun inside, along with 13 rounds of ammunition.
According to the incident report, the teen told police the gun was his grandfather's, and he brought it to school because he was having problems with another student and felt he needed it for his protection. Police said they found no evidence that the boy was in any danger.
Police said the boy had told other students that he had planned to bring the gun, and those students alerted school leaders, who were waiting for the boy when he arrived.
Parents credited those other students for speaking up.
"I'm very proud of them and proud of the parents that hurried up and was prompt taking action like that because (if) you keep quiet, there's no telling what might have happened," said parent Loukisha Kimble.
She said she wanted to know more about what may have prompted the boy to bring the gun, such as whether he was being bullied.
Principal William McDowell said this type of communication was essential in making sure this situation ended without incident.
"You want people to speak up," he said.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Republican lawmakers proposed a package of bills on Tuesday intended to counter what they see as a growing threat to public safety from sending some inmates to county jails instead of state prisons.
The 13 bills seek to counter the effects of prison realignment in 2011 by improving supervision of parolees and increase penalties for sex offenders and those who illegally possess or sell firearms.
The measures also would send more convicts back to prison to ease the burden on local jails while protecting counties from lawsuits.
"Republicans recognize that we must close the worst realignment loopholes," said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare.
The bills' chances are uncertain in a Legislature controlled by Democrats.
The measures were proposed nearly 18 months after Gov. Jerry Brown's prison realignment took effect, sending inmates convicted of lower-level crimes to county jails instead of state prisons.
Brown's office declined to comment on the measures proposed Tuesday.
Jeffrey Callison, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said the bills would increase problems in state prisons that are now under federal court order to improve conditions.
A related bill was rejected last week on a party-line vote in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. The bill, AB2 by Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, would have sent paroled sex offenders back to state prisons, instead of county jails, if they fail to register as sex offenders.
The proposals have the backing of Diana Munoz, mother of Brandy Arreola, 21, of Stockton, who was permanently injured last year by her boyfriend, Raoul Leyva, a parole violator who had been released early from jail because of overcrowding.
Leyva, 34, was convicted last month of attempted voluntary manslaughter and injuring a spouse, with enhancements for causing brain injury and paralysis.
"If realignment didn't exist ... my daughter would be living her life normally," Munoz said as her daughter sat in a wheelchair by her side. "The state is responsible for what's happened to her. They should never have let him out."
Other bills in the Republican package would impose prison instead of jail time for criminals who remove their GPS-linked tracking devices; send all sex offenders who violate their parole back to prison' and have state parole agents, rather than county probation agencies, supervise all released sex offenders.
The proposals come amid rising concerns over the consequences of Brown's realignment law that took effect in October 2011.
The number of paroled sex offenders who are fugitives in California is 15 percent higher today than before realignment; counties are housing more than 1,100 inmates serving sentences of five years or more in jails designed for stays of a year or less; and inmate advocacy groups are beginning to sue counties over the same type of poor housing and treatment conditions that led to years of litigation and billions in additional costs for the state.

Our pitching continues to be a strength
I will continue to say it all season: winning cures all. But seriously, with all of these walk-offs we have been having, I just hope I don't have a heart attack. Our pitching continues to be awesome in a division in which every team has great pitching. We still haven't even faced the Braves yet, but that will happen tomorrow.
If you want to win a division, it is crucial to play well against the other teams in it. We had a good weekend series against the Mets when we took two out of three. There were lots of ups and downs, but we got the "W" and that's all that matters. We finish up our series with the Pirates today and then we hit the road. I always thought two-game series were weird and never really understood them, but we need to take care of business regardless.

The Reserve Bank of India's refusal to succumb to pressure to cut interest rates shouldn't be seen as a snub at the government; rather, the move implies that containing inflation remains at front and center, the central bank's deputy governor Subir Gokarn told CNBC on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the central bank left rates steady at 8 percent, choosing instead to cut the cash reserve ratio for banks by 25 basis points. The move triggered immediate criticism from Finance Minister P Chidambaram, who had hoped for more aggressive easing measures from the RBI to support the government's current campaign of boosting growth.
The finance minister on Monday unveiled a five-year plan to cut the country's hefty fiscal deficit, a day ahead of the central bank decision, in hopes that the RBI would reciprocate with sufficient stimulus.
The government has been urging the central bank to lower rates for months now, especially since unveiling drastic reforms in September aimed at increasing investment in the country. A call the central bank has so far resisted.
Gokarn says while he recognizes that the government is an important "stakeholder" in its monetary policy, the central bank will not lose sight of its prime objective to keep inflation under control.
"The government is obviously an important stakeholder in the policy, and the RBI is quite sensitive to it, but we cannot ignore the fact that inflation is still high, and is likely to go up over the next three months," Gokarn told CNBC on Wednesday.
Wholesale price inflation, India's main inflation gauge, spiked to 7.8 percent in September – the highest level in 10 months – driven by the government's recent diesel price hike. During its policy review, the RBI raised its inflation forecast based on the wholesale price index (WPI) to 7.7 percent from its earlier estimate of 7.3 percent.
Gokarn, who is one of the four deputy governors at the central bank, said aggravating the risk of further price pressures with premature easing is unjustified, adding that a rate cut is unlikely until the upward trend in inflation reverses.
"When we look at the trajectory of inflation beyond December – the baseline scenario suggests it will show a steady moderation, and that is the scenario that gives us a little more space to start thinking about easing," he said.
The Reserve Bank last cut interest rates in April, when it lowered the repo rate by 50 basis points. It has cut the cash reserve requirement ratio for banks by 175 basis points since the start of the year, in an effort to ease liquidity in the banking system.
Deficit Target
While the government's new target to nearly halve the budget deficit to 3 percent by 2017 is seen as ambitious by many economists, Gokarn said he believes it is achievable.
"Making this commitment places an enormous obligation on the government's shoulders. If growth isn't going to be that fast, it will be a challenge, but it's not unachievable," he said.
"It puts pressure on the government to take action consistent with this roadmap, like expenditure cuts, tax reforms, like a GST (goods and services tax)," he added.
Discussing movement in the rupee – which fell 2.5 percent against the US dollar in October, after rising 5 percent in September – Gokarn said this recent volatility is tied to the general risk-off sentiment by global investors.
"Even if we had continued to see domestic (reform) action, a strong global risk off will have taken it down," he said.

Cream-Filled Chocolate-Covered Eclairs Recipe
This classic French pastry is filled with a vanilla scented cream and covered in a smooth chocolate glaze.
Learn The Technique!
Right this way for a step-by-step slideshow of the techniques used in this recipe!
Read more: Sweet Technique: How to Make Éclairs
- Yield:makes approximately 2 dozen, 4-inch eclairs
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:5 hours
- Rated:
- One recipe Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream, chilled
- One recipe pâte à choux dough
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- Egg wash made from 1 egg beaten with 1 pinch of salt
- 4 ounces heavy cream, warmed
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 ounces light corn syrup
- Pinch of salt
Adjust two oven racks to the upper and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 425°F. Cut two sheets of parchment paper to fit two sheet pans. Fold each sheet of parchment paper into thirds the long way, or, draw two horizontal lines the length of the paper to divide it evenly into thirds. The lines on the parchment will be a useful guide as you are piping out the dough later on. Set aside.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized round tip (#8 is recommended, nothing larger) halfway with the pâte à choux. Pipe a tiny amount of the dough onto each of the four corners of two sheet pans, then adhere the prepared parchment (with drawn lines face down) to the pans using the dabs of dough as glue. Pipe the pâte à choux into cylinders approximately 3 - 3 1/2 inches in length leaving approximately 1 1/2 inches of space between each. You should aim to pie about twelve per standard 13x18 inch pan.
Brush each of the cylinders with egg wash, ensuring that the top and sides have been coated. Gently drag a fork along the top and sides of the cylinder the long way, making slight indentations with the tines. Bake the pâte à choux for 20 minutes, then rotate the pans and drop the oven to 350°F and bake until the shells are a uniform golden brown (even in the cracks and crevices), approximately 20 additional minutes. Allow the shells to cool completely on the parchment.
Beat the chilled pastry cream until it is smooth and creamy. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small, round tip (recommended #3) halfway with pastry cream and set aside. Using a paring knife, bore two small holes into the bottom of each of the shells, one at each end. Pipe the pastry cream into each of the holes, stopping when the cream surges back out of the incision. Wipe off any excess cream.
Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of water, taking care not to allow the water to touch the chocolate. Warm cream, butter, and salt (microwaves are great for this) until butter is melting and cream feels warm to the touch. Pour cream mixture over chocolate in the double boiler and stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in corn syrup until glaze is smooth and shiny, with no visible lumps.
Hold each eclair face down and dip the top directly into the glaze, submerging it only enough to coat the top. Pull the eclair up and away from the bowl, shaking off the excess. Place the eclairs in the fridge for a few minutes to help them set up, but do not leave them there too long, or they will start to become soggy and rubbery. They are best served soon after filling and glazing.

NEW YORK -- Standard & Poor's is downgrading Spain's credit rating two notches to agency's lowest investment-grade level.
S&P says it is lowering its rating on debt issued by Spain from BBB+ to BBB-. It also assigned a negative outlook to the rating, meaning it could be further downgraded.
S&P cited Spain's economic recession, high unemployment and social unrest. It said those factors are limiting the government's policy options.
Spain's economy is shrinking and its banks are struggling under the weight of a collapsed real-estate market. The European Central Bank has agreed to buy Spanish government bonds to help lower borrowing costs. But the government first needs to apply for bailout.

Our Father said:" Pray and you will live". The prayer is the breath of our spirit.
It is so amazing the power of a prayer, and I am so thankful to Father and Mother because they allow me to, once more, realize how powerful a prayer is.
Father says in Mattew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you want in a prayer" I remember the first time I saw this verse was in my New Song Book (Chapter 213)I was so shocked because it is true, we only have to believe. Father and Mother will give us all we ask.
Praise, glory, honor and thanks to Our Hevanly Father and Heavely Mother, because in the past days, because They allow me to pray earnestly, Father and Mother led me to one of his lost children. Exactly yesterday, Sabbath Day, the day that our Heavenly Parents apointted to receive Their blessings, holiness and resting, They gave me this amazing blessing. One brother was found, we did not have to say too much when we preach to him, only invite him to come to Zion and He came, he kept the last service and then he studied and then he reborn as a child of God, through the true bastism, the one in the name of the Father Jehova, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit Christ Ahn Sahng Hong he received a new life.
I will continue earnestly praying for him and for all the new brothers and sisters that were found in this month and the ones that are no found yet.
Praise to Heavenly Father and Havenly Mother.
Sunday, November 29, 2009
If we believe we will receive what ever we ask for in a prayer, from Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother
Our Father said:" Pray and you will live". The prayer is the breath of our spirit.

I know, while I was reading Breaking Dawn I was so dissapointed, but I didn't knew how ridiculous it actually was until I finish it reading, I was like, wait.. did I just read the ACTUAL 4TH BOOK or a FANFICTION? Because that's exactly what look likes.Amivera wrote: I used to as well. I have the same problem— halfway through a novel (the furthest I've ever gotten), I suddenly lost all inspiration. After three months of trying to write for it again, I just gave up.
I used to really respect authors who could pull off an entire novel, but you know what?
An author who sits down and types it all up in three months:
-main characters with no personality
-no plot
-useless fluff
-a thesaurus that has been thoroughly RAPED (can you say ADJECTIVE OVERLOAD?!)
-a completely copied, overdone storyline
-Mary Sue's and Gary Stu's
If that's what it comes down to, I don't want to finish my novel. I want a real story like The Kite Runner. I want a story with characters who ruin their lives, who have flaws— not this out-of-my-Why are we talking about a donkey? Happy Ending.
I know Breaking Dawn incorporated a lot of what was in Forever Dawn, but that was written BEFORE New Moon and Eclipse, which means that it just didn't fit.
And I rather get sued for not completing the 4th book than publish the poorest story ever. Terrible flaws as a writer there, changing POV'S, not stickin to the main plot. Holes in the plot.. No character development. It was a writer's worst nightmare, seriously.
I'm guessing the people that liked it are the ones that love happy endings, I don't have a problem with happy endings if they're well done, but after THREE books anticipating a fight with the Volturi, I expected at least some damage done after that.
And I adore the first three books, so it's way sad for me.

Think I was going to say, "dead"? Nah. I was a bit horrified to find I hadn't plugged in here for a very long time; not horrified enough to hit the keyboard, obviously. As I try to catch up with my "friends" here, I've got to cut to the chase and let my thoughts for the last year go ….
- Mantra for this year: I can do better. This has nothing to do with social status and everything to do with my personality flaws. To misquote John Wayne, "If you don't like something, don't bitch. Get off your butt and do something about it." It would be much cooler had I quoted something from Jay Z, but I'll leave that to my brilliant young friend, Megan Silianoff.
- Brilliant young friend mentioned above has written an amazing memoir, 99 Problems But A Baby Ain't One. Young and memoir don't usually add up to much, but this one has been over the river and through the woods of shit, remaining sassy and upbeat, emerging victorious on the other side. Her blog is greetingsfromtexas.com. We met at Cheeky Vintage, quite possibly the very best vintage store this side of the moon.
- Country Music: have been a hater all my life but have changed my mind this year. Not going so far as to say I can stand any of that twangy crap but as I've been listening I realized the songs, whether giddy or sad, are honest. Honest is good and I can understand what the singer is saying. Shit, that sounds like an old bag which I am most certainly not. Shit. Anywho, one song, "I Pray for You" by Jaron and The Long Road to Love, which must have been written after a breakup. It is so mean in a good way – things you've most certainly thought but never said out loud. No haters – I didn't write it.
- Professor Dreamy joined the fam last month and we are all happy. He could truly teach men how to love a woman. Joyful, joyful.
Dashing. Laugh as much as possible. The photo below features is my friend, Nga; she needs a razor intervention.

'Bionic Eyes' Glasses Helps People With Genetic Blindness
The device helps the blind "to detect light and dark in the environment."
Feb. 16, 2013 -- People who have lost their vision as a result of a rare genetic disease may soon be able to have some of their sight restored, thanks to the first FDA-approved eye implant.
The implant, named the Argus II, works to wirelessly transmit images to the brain through a video camera and transmitter on a pair of glasses.
The FDA approved the device from Second Sight Medical Products for patients 25 years and older Thursday, The Associated Press reported.
While the implant does not restore vision, the FDA said the device might help the blind to see by allowing them "to detect light and dark in the environment."
Dr. Mark Humayn, who has been working on the Argus II for the past 25 years, told "Good Morning America" he committed himself "to developing a new way and a new approach so that those that are blind can have a foreseeable solution."
"One of the things I can do now is laundry," Kathy Blake told "Good Morning America." "My husband had to put the colored clothing in, and with the glasses, I'm able to do that myself."
Blake, 61, who has been blind for 23 years, underwent a two-hour surgery and said she now uses the glasses to "help [her] be more outdoor with mobility, walking."
The device is only approved for retintis pigmentosa, a disorder that causes gradual blindness and affects 100,0000 people in the United States.
If successful, the device could eventually be used to treat millions with other vision disorders.
"I think that the future for this is going to be big," Blake said.

Definition: The Break-Even Point (BEP) is the point at which cost or expenses and revenue are equal: there is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even." A profit or loss has not been made. (Wikipedia.com).
Importance: The BEP tells an owner the amount of revenue needed to cover all expenses, including fixed costs. The BEP, if used correctly, may help the owner to control fixed costs and/or to know the point of time in the future to incur more fixed costs.
Fixed costs: Examples of fixed costs include insurance, interest expense, property taxes, utilities expenses, rent and depreciation of assets. Also, if a company pays annual salaries to its employees irrespective of the number of hours worked, such salaries must be counted as fixed costs. (Investopedia.com)
Another benefit: Another benefit of the BEP might be in the specific identification of certain products or services that might either significantly add to or take away from a company's BEP.
Required: Accurate and timely financial statements are a minimum requirement to calculate a company's break-even point. The balance sheet must be very accurate, even though the BEP is focused on the company's income statement.
Variable costs: Variable costs fluctuate directly with sales volume, such as purchasing inventory, shipping and manufacturing a product. (SBA.gov). A variable cost is a corporate expense that varies with production output. Variable costs are those costs that vary depending on a company's production volume; they rise as production increases and fall as production decreases. Variable costs differ from fixed costs such as rent, advertising, insurance and office supplies, which tend to remain the same regardless of production output. (Investopedia.com).
Total costs: Fixed costs and variable costs comprise total cost. (Investpedia.com).
Practical application #1: Imagine a business owner seriously pondering adding fixed costs to the company, such as the purchase of computer hardware, equipment, vehicles or adding salaries that would be considered fixed costs. That owner might consider the calculation of the BEP for these additional costs to see the additional revenue that would be needed to cover these costs. This process might take away some of the "guesswork" by the owner when making important decisions on fixed costs.
Practical application #2: Imagine a business owner sitting across the table from a key vendor. The key vendor gives the owner some "bad news" and explains that the cost of their product or service will increase by 5% beginning next month. The owner might consider the impact to the BEP before agreeing to the increased costs. This increased "variable cost" might require the sales of the company to increase to a certain amount in order to break-even. The owner has the right to know the amount of the increased sales needed and the costs, if any, of obtaining those increased sales.

More improvements planned for paddlers
A surge in demand for piloting Lake Tahoe by paddle has gotten the attention of area agencies, and kayakers, canoers and stand-up paddleboarders can expect more improvements in the years to come.
"This use is exploding in popularity," said Sue Rae Irelan, a program analyst with the California Tahoe Conservancy and a regular Lake Tahoe kayaker.
"It's a closer contact with the lake, a more intimate contact with the lake, than any other use," Irelan said.
Public agencies have introduced kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals at Nevada Beach, Baldwin Beach, Sand Harbor and Sugar Pine Point State Park in the past two years. California State Parks also opened paddling rentals at Emerald Bay this summer.
The Conservancy is spearheading efforts to get the latest information out to paddlers at Patton Landing in Carnelian Bay at the North Shore, while Nevada State Parks has a designated a launch location for nonmotorized watercraft at Sand Harbor, making a popular launch spot easier to use, Irelan said.
The boat-in campground at Emerald Bay has seen a marked increase in interest from paddlers in the past few years, said Brian Barton, chief ranger for the Sierra District of California State Parks. He said he is working on getting funding for overnight storage racks for paddle campers. He hopes to have them in place next summer.
"I can just tell you kayaking on Lake Tahoe is one of those sensory experiences that is overwhelming," Barton said.
Americans with Disability Act improvements at area beaches, wayfinding signs directing paddlers to appropriate launch sites and improving parking areas to accommodate facilities like drop-off spots for kayaks and paddleboards are future improvements being discussed by a working group agencies focused on nonmotorized boating, Irelan said.
A 2008 survey of Lake Tahoe paddlers is being used as a framework for the improvements. Parking, access to campsites, adequate signs and conflicts with other watercraft were among the categories that Lake Tahoe paddlers rated poorly in the survey.
Designating some areas for dawn openings to accommodate early morning paddlers and possibly providing limited services during the winter are also ideas being discussed by the working group, Irelan said.
Programs moving forward include educating paddlers on appropriate safety measures, the differences between beach access laws in California and Nevada and preventing the introduction of invasive species, Irelan said.
As part of the Tahoe Keepers program, mobile inspectors are helping paddlers avoid moving invasive species around the region. Lake Tahoe agencies encourage all boaters to clean their vessels, drain them of water and make sure the craft are dry before launching them on the lake to prevent the spread of harmful species like quagga mussels.

Nothin' but Net: Collins' announcement drawing reaction
Philadelphia, PA – Jason Collins became the first active player in one of the four major U.S. sports leagues to come out as a gay man.
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay," Collins wrote in this week's "Sports Illustrated."
Collins wrote in more depth about why he made this decision, and this news apparently warrants an opinion from anyone.
The White House offers support. Former President Bill Clinton opined on Twitter and on his Foundation's website. NBA Commissioner David Stern released a press statement. The Washington Wizards, Collins' team last season, issued a statement.
The girl who played Blossom even put something on Twitter (it's true, by the way; she's cool with it).
That's a lot of important people concerned about Collins' love life.
Collins' peers were also active in social media praising him. Players like Kobe Bryant, who got caught and fined for using a horrible anti-gay word a few years back, was among a long list of fellow NBA players who offered both support and congratulations. Kevin Durant also said he was "fine with it."
Most are positive, at least from people we know.
From the faceless avatars in the comments section under Collins' article alone, there is hate and stupidity. Makes it very easy to see why this sort of proclamation took place in 2013, not a moment sooner.
There's a group who think this shouldn't even be considered a big deal. That's very true, but very naive. This is a huge deal. Professional sports date back to the 1800s. Sure, there have been gay athletes before, just none who was active in his or her sport.
Until today, that is.
And what will today bring?
To be honest, it's hard to envision anyone really bashing this decision. Political correctness is what you'll get, even if someone doesn't approve.
The only groups who could make waves about this are the misguided religious, who think the Bible they read condemns Collins' life, the fans and the athlete who still thinks the locker room is a sanctuary for those who border on the Neanderthal.
Fans will say anything in an attempt to rankle a player. Collins doesn't seem worried.
"I don't mind if they heckle me. I've been booed before," he wrote.
As for teammates, that is the great unknown.
"I have no idea. I'm a pragmatist. I hope for the best, but plan for the worst," Collins shared.
Collins exudes that kind of poignancy throughout the article. He wore No. 98 to honor Matthew Shepard, the gay young man who was beaten to death in 1998 for being different.
Have we evolved since then? Probably, at least to a degree that made Collins comfortable enough to come out. He said he was "glad" he was coming out now, not 10 years ago. Collins mentioned the case before the Supreme Court about same-sex marriages as another factor in his decision.
Whatever the reasons, they are his and shouldn't be open to scrutiny. Nothing should in this whole situation.
This is the most individual decision someone can make. We don't get to judge Collins' motivations. Unless you have lived his life, you don't know what it's been like. You don't get to tell another person how to live his or her life. You don't question someone's reasons for doing something like this.
Make no mistake, this is an risky time in Collins' life, at least professionally. He is a free agent this offseason and, at 34, there's no guarantee he will be an active NBA player for much longer. Collins played in 38 games this past season and averaged 1.1 ppg for both the Boston Celtics and a Wizards team which missed the playoffs.
Hopefully, we aren't at a level where people will say, if Collins isn't signed in the offseason, it had anything to do with this announcement.
As this column, one admittedly written without any knowledge of the subject, progressed, more players are tweeting support. More reporters say executives they talked to would sign Collins if he could play - sexuality be damned.
Let's hope the rest of the world is as tolerant.
It's hard to articulate why I think the world will be that. The world can be ugly sometimes.
Leave it to Collins to sum it up perfectly.
"Everyone is terrified of the unknown," he wrote, "but most of us don't want to return to a time when minorities were openly discriminated against."
Here's hoping he's right.
