DailyDirt: Asiana Flight 214
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed at SFO last weekend, and plenty of people were glued to the TV to find out what happened and why. While the NTSB (National Traffic Safety Board) investigation will likely take weeks or months to come to final conclusions, there were plenty of citizen journalists to augment the 24hr-news cycle. Here are just a few informative examples of traditional media and social media coverage of this tragic accident.
- Flight attendant Lee Yoon-hye described how passengers evacuated the cabin and how two of her colleagues were pinned by evacuation slides that inflated inwards. Lee was the last person off the plane, helped several people to safety, and suffered a broken tailbone herself. [url]
- Another first-hand account came from David Eun's tweet, reporting that most passengers were ok. He also pointed to @flySFO, SFO's official Twitter account which is still posting updates on the crash investigation. [url]
- A self-described "armchair air crash investigator" speculates about as well as the talking heads on the cable news networks. Who needs to watch the same video footage looped over and over...? [url]

Planning for Eid is a momentous operation, requiring anyone wishing to leave the city to book bus and train tickets two or three weeks in advance. My original plan to visit the beach resort of Cox's Bazar was scuppered by leaving only 12 days advance to book the bus (in normal times, a day or two is sufficient), so instead I managed to grab a last minute ticket to visit Khagachuri.
Sometime around 3.30 we finally had lunch, eating rice, chicken, pork and fish from huge deep green banana leaves spread out on the ground before we finally moved off the platform and staggered back to the main town, drinking some green coconut water on one stop, and waiting for Diman, a vivacious programme co-ordinator at Zabarang, to eat again at another house. With the rice wine, the falling light, constant food stops and the broken boat, it was a while before we got back to the flat. But, it was absolutely worth it. Though a Bangladeshi picnic is a troublesome affair, the trouble is worth it; the views and the food, the company and even the rice wine were elements of a very memorable, and special day.

Hewitt Offers Advice on Dealing With Mediaby Jim Amidon • March 3, 2011 Share:
For more than 25 years, Howard Hewitt has taught good reporting and journalism skills at newspapers as small as The Bachelor and as large as the Indianapolis Star. In Thursday's Chapel Talk, Hewitt taught the Wabash student body good media manners.
Hewitt, director of New Media and advisor to The Bachelor at Wabash since 2004, told the assembled students that he was embarrassed with the way they handled themselves when local and state media descended on campus last October.
In his speech, "Why Wabash Men Should Always Talk to the Media," Hewitt recalled how students evaded reporters, which he said led to a one-sided story that was not favorable to the College and "embarrassed" him.
"You may recall that was when news of a lawsuit against the College became public — and the evil media descended on campus — certain to make Wabash look foolish," he said with a little satire. Then, with a very serious tone, he said, "Gentlemen, you should take no pride in having helped them succeed — which is exactly what you did."
He told the story of television news reporters trying to get Wabash students to explain the culture and how all but one student (Thomas Schmidt) walked — or ran — away from the journalists.
"Thomas was saying the RIGHT things," Hewitt said. "I guarantee you the TV reporter would have used it… But you, gentlemen, didn't stand up for who you are and what you believe in. You failed the mission statement."
Hewitt gave advice to the students, but chose to gather the advice of three of Wabash's most esteemed journalist alumni — Tim Padgett '84, Ryan Smith '03, and Dean Reynolds '70.
"Feed the beast, Time magazine's Padgett advised. "If you no feed beast, beast eat you. But if you feed it, you disarm it."
Smith, who works as a producer for CBS News, gave simple advice: "The story is going to be told anyway, so you might as well have a voice."
"Tragedy is often difficult to deal with and there is a human impulse to go very private," advised ABC News correspondent Reynolds. "But if you are a quasi-public institution, or even one that styles itself as a major liberal arts college, privacy rights are waived."
Hewitt concluded with a positive piece of advice for the assembled students. "It's likely you will face a similar situation again in your lifetime — as a professional, or something related to your church, or an organization that you are a part of in life. Bad things happen, and we're often measured by our reactions under duress than we are for our success."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Tax Foundation pegs the tax increase figure at the bottom of the Jan. 1 fiscal cliff at $514 billion. The Washington-based nonprofit tax analysis group says the average U.S. family will see its taxes rise by 8%. While middle-income families will feel the hit, the Tax Foundation says that high-income and low-income taxpayers will really feel the pain from landing hard after falling off the fiscal cliff. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for U.S. families. Here's how the foundation explains it in a recent statement:
Dramatic changes to both tax and spending policy at the federal level are scheduled to take place at the end of the current year unless Congress acts. On the tax side, the most significant changes are the expiration of Bush-era income tax cuts and provisions relating to the Alternative Minimum Tax, which will increase liabilities nationwide. When ranked by city, the heaviest impacts will fall in Texas, Georgia, Oregon and Arizona, with metropolitan areas in Arizona, California and Virginia filling out the top 10. "We found that higher- and lower-income areas tended to be affected more than middle income areas -- higher-income areas from changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax and lower-income areas from the Bush tax cuts," said Tax Foundation analyst Nick Kasprak.One U.S. consumer demographic that is particularly vulnerable to the fiscal cliff is military families. According to First Command, a Fort Worth, Texas-based investment firm, budget cuts and higher taxes are a painful one-two punch for military families. In fact, about 50% of that demographic are already cutting back on spending to cope with the fallout from the economic cliff dive. The First Command Financial Behaviors Index, released last week, says that about 66% of middle-class military families (mostly senior NCOs and commissioned officers in pay grades E-6 and above with household incomes of at least $50,000) say the U.S. government won't cut a deal by the end of the year. "The fiscal cliff is a major concern for service members and their families," says Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command Financial Services. "Roughly seven in 10 believe that a failure to resolve the fiscal cliff stalemate will mean an increase in their taxes and a slowdown in job growth. Two-thirds of survey respondents fear the U.S. economy might slip back into recession." Then there's the "sequestration" issue, in which the U.S. defense budget is set to be cut automatically and significantly. "While the looming fiscal cliff deadline has been making the headlines, military families may be even more troubled by the spending reductions that are already in process," adds Spiker. "Defense downsizing will affect one-sixth of the military, impacting retirement pay and benefits. Promotion rates will decline. The result is an uncertain future for many military families."

Ned Ludd's Stuffed Ruby Trout, Fennel, Scallions, and Herbs
Get the Recipe
Salmon and trout make up a huge part of the Pacific Northwest's seafood economy, so it's no surprise that hyper-local restaurants like Ned Ludd in Portland feature fish prominently on their menu. Most of these dishes at Ned Ludd are prepared in their huge wood-fired oven, which means adaptation is the name of the game when cooking this fish at home.
To adapt this recipe for everyday kitchens in Laurie Wolf's Portland, Oregon Chef's Table, they move their wood-fired Stuffed Ruby Trout to a hot oven and then crisp the skin under the broiler. This quick-cook method makes for crackling, blistered skin with moist flesh beneath. (Just be sure to watch the fish closely!)
But this is not mere roast fish; Ned Ludd's trout is taken to a whole 'nother level with a punchy rub of mustard seeds (yellow and brown), fennel seeds, and fresh white pepper, as well as charred scallions and fennel cooked beneath the fish (soaking up all of the marvelous rendered fat and fish juices).
Why I picked this recipe: Roast trout and charred vegetables make for an easy, rustic dinner that I couldn't resist.
What worked: Fennel and mustard seeds work wonders on the tender, rich trout flesh, and the charred fennel and scallions added verdant fragrance to an otherwise earthy dish.
What didn't: I needed to cook the fennel and scallions a bit longer than the fish to turn them tender. Next time, I'd give them a 5 to 10 minute head-start with a drizzle of olive oil so that they'd be ready to eat at the same time as the fish.
Suggested tweaks: This recipe would be easy to tweak depending on available fresh vegetables. I'd stick with hearty roots and alliums for roasting under the fish (slivers of winter squash and onions would be great for fall) and herbs to stuff inside (thyme, for example).
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Portland, Oregon Chef's Table to give away.

The following comment on Letter Type G,
Letter Type G:
Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Dear Secretary Katz,
As an individual investor, I am submitting comments regarding the proposed rule on shareholder proxy access and the ability of investors to better nominate candidates for corporate boards. I urge the SEC to support greater democracy in the corporate elections process, and to vigorously support investors' rights to nominate legitimate candidates for company boards, and to do so through the company's proxy statement. For years, directors have failed to serve shareowners well in their role as investor representatives at public corporations, and it is time for this faulty governance system to be reformed. The three-year wave of corporate scandals and the continued excesses of executive pay only highlight the flaws in allowing incumbent boards to hand-pick director candidates.
I am concerned with what I've seen in the proposed rule. The rule should go much further in providing investors with strengthened rights regarding the nominations process. I oppose the "triggering events" described in the proposal. Put forward by opponents of shareholder access earlier this summer, triggers have no place in building more democratic board elections. The new rule must provide investors, large and small, with greater reins over the boards that represent them-if for nothing else but to pressure directors to clean up conflicts of interest.
The rule must provide fair and robust mechanisms for company owners to place highly qualified and truly independent people on the proxy ballot. Only then can shareholders effectively hold individual board members accountable for their actions. This proposal puts enough hurdles in front of shareholders that the new rule barely improves upon the current process-that of individual investors spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money to run a single candidate for the board, which is then undermined by executives spending endlessly from the corporate treasury (investors' monies) to counter that candidate.
What we currently have in no way resembles an open, democratic election of directors. The triggers proposed in the rule make it even less so. Having direct access to the proxy without barriers or triggers seems a modest request, given that few investors would use their rights to nominate unless they felt a board and corporate executives were grossly mismanaging a corporation. There's also the burden of winning more support for an investor candidate than candidates proposed by management. It's just too much effort to find qualified candidates (under increasingly stringent rules of independence) and win majority support unless a company has failed its investors.
Until corporate governance is strengthened to make directors more accountable to shareholders, we'll continue having trouble regaining investors' confidence in markets and corporate management. Allowing the owners of companies to have a realistic say in the membership of the board is one of the best ways to curb the excesses and reduce the conflicts of interest that lead to corporate corruption. Thank you for this opportunity to offer my strong support for this historic proposal. I encourage the Commission to adopt final rules that are responsive to my concerns.

This Saturday brings the 2010 pro road cycling season to a close with the last Classic of the Season, the Giro di Lombardia. Known as the "Race of the Falling Leaves", the Lombardia winds it way north from Milan, through beautiful Italian countryside, and then up and down the wooded hills that surround the picturesque shores of the famous Lake Como.
The race has been run over a variety of courses throughout its 105 year history, but this year it checks in at a hefty 260km–quite the test for tired legs at the end of a long season. The Lombardia is known for its short but steep climbs such as the famous Madonna del Ghisallo ascent, which passes the church of the patroness of cycling. The Madonna del Ghisallo chapel is a must-see for any cyclist who gets the chance, as the interior is adorned with countless bikes, jerseys and other gear from champion cyclists from Fausto Coppi to Francesco Moser to Eddy Merckx (plus many, many more).
So who does this long and difficult race favor? A good place to start is with last year's champion, Phillipe Gilbert. Fresh off of a strong showing at the World Championships, Gilbert has maintained his strong form, as demonstrated with his decisive win at the Giro del Piemonte just this week (which he also won last year in the lead-up to the Lombardia). Thor Hushovd, the newly crowned World Champion, will also get a chance to show off his new stripes while racing in the final race for the Cervelo Test Team (which is shutting down after the season ends). Andy Schleck will be there racing for Saxo Bank for the last time, while Vincenzo Nibali and Michele Scarponi will be trying to win one for the Italians. With a strong field and a prestigious title on the line, the Giro di Lombardia should provide an entertaining conclusion to the end of the racing season (plus the scenery will be pretty nice, if nothing else, as seen in this shot from legendary photographer Graham Watson).
To check out the Giro di Lombardia here in the US, tune in to Universal Sports Saturday morning or log in for their online coverage if you don't get Universal Sports on your television. Then get outside and enjoy some beautiful fall riding of your own!

Gardens of Memories
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 13
- A view of the Horvitz house and garden from street level; small vegetable gardens flanking the entryway steps are dotted with artichokes, herbs, and bamboo wigwam supports for beans, squash, and tomatoes.
- Mary, Eric, and 8-year-old son Zach enjoy a game of chess beneath the pergola on the main terrace. The French doors in the background lead into the kitchen area-the indoor hub of family life.
- A fountain encircled with decorative tiles inspired by traditional Portuguese azulejos welcomes visitors to the Horvitz garden.
- The cordial elegance of Mary and Eric Horvitz's home on Lake Washington sets the style for their sun-filled garden, which is also stocked with good things to eat.
- The water feature in the sunken garden is made from an 18th-century French cistern hewn from a block of limestone. The bas-relief plaques on the back wall above the fountain portray the four seasons.
- Pear trees and grapevines clothe the arbor and pergola. Italian musk strawberries edge the gravel path. For beauty and flavor, designer David Pfieffer recommends 'Green Globe' artichokes, 'Victoria' rhubarb, 'Bull's Blood' beets, 'Italian Rose' bush beans, 'Crescent Moon' eggplant, scarlet runner beans, tomatoes and sweet peppers in all shapes and sizes, squash and pumpkins (trained along retaining walls), blueberry bushes and hybrid strawberries grown in containers, 'Golden Summit' raspberries, parsley (used to edge paths), and container-grown citrus underplanted with mesclun (a colorful mix of salad leaves), violas, nasturtiums, purple basil, and chives.
- Zach's cat, Brian, loves the garden- especially the catmint.
- Tucked behind the house, around the corner from the main terrace, is this shady nook where Eric and Mary most often enjoy a morning cup of coffee and the daily newspaper.
- Zach tends his own hortalica-a collection of his favorite edibles, including edamame, pumpkins, and sunflowers. Says Mary, "I started gardening when I was a child by growing my own strawberries."
- A tiny terrace, nestled into a bend in the path leading down to the sunken garden, catches the last rays of the setting sun.
- The sunken garden below the master bedroom is planted in shades of green and white. Plants here are also selected for their scent, which on a warm summer evening wafts through the open windows, filling the house with perfume.
Gardens for Grazing
From the moment you approach the Horvitz garden, you know something different is afoot. At street level, the garden entrance is flanked by small pocket-gardens, filled with sunflowers, tomato plants, beans, rosemary, cabbages, nasturtiums, and other edibles.
Joggers stop to pluck a strawberry, and passing cars slow to let passengers take note of this unusual "yard." But Mary is quick to correct, "This is my quintal, a Portuguese word that conjures up a different image in my mind than the word yard. A quintal speaks to me of home, family, laughter, and good things to eat."
Climbing the steps leads you further into the garden. The terraces branch off, heading in one direction to a small formal herb garden of raised beds, with fruit trees-in this case figs- espaliered against the retaining wall of the upper terrace. In the opposite direction, a path leads under an arbor of pear trees to a small sunken garden dominated by a fountain made from an antique stone cistern and perfumed by scented shrubs like sweet box (Sarccocca digyna ) and Daphne odora. "There are perfumes everywhere you go in this garden," Mary exclaims, "and they change throughout the year." Some of her favorites are lavender, mint, thyme, and scented geraniums, which are dotted throughout the garden so a leaf can be plucked as you walk by.
As the stairs reach the uppermost terrace, they take a turn around a small, welcoming fountain, its base fringed with tiny wild strawberry plants. "This fountain recalls my Portuguese heritage," says Mary. "Every patio has a fonte to welcome visitors." The one gracing the Horvitzes' entryway was designed with tiles modeled on the traditional tiles, or azulejos, that decorate Portuguese fountains.

Several people had asked me if I meant a Hubbub adapter when I said that I'd seen a dropbar shifter for a Rohloff internally-geared hub. But what I saw was this item from Mittelmeyer, a German company. I've seen two examples in person, but I have to say that I didn't care for them myself. The shift effort was high and the knurled aluminium grip is really aggressive, but they were brand-new when I touched them. Maybe they'd break in somewhat. Also, I didn't install them, so I can't say if I might have been able to set them up in a manner more satisfactory. Anyone else tried these?
Note in the picture that they set the bike up with foam sleeve grips (similar to Grab-On), which masks the bulk of the shifter. The Mittelmeyer shifter is kinda klunky, but all the same it does shift.

Eagles get their man, hire Oregon's Chip Kelly
The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Chip Kelly after he originally chose to stay at Oregon.
Kelly becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season.
Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, interviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills after leading the Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.
But he opted to remain at Oregon before changing his mind.
The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candidates, including two meetings with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc was fined $1.5 million to settle charges it failed to supervise its traders and allowing one futures dealer to hide billions in dollars from sight and causing a $118 million loss.
Continue Reading Below
Ex-Goldman trader Matthew Marshall Taylor in 2007 camouflaged an $8.3 billion position, manually entering fake trades, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said on Friday.
"Goldman failed to have policies or procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent the manual entry of fabricated futures trades into its front office systems," the top U.S. derivatives regulator said.
"As a result, on seven trading days in November and December 2007, Taylor circumvented Goldman's risk management, compliance, and supervision systems," the CFTC said.
In a lawsuit in New York in November, the CFTC sought a $130,000 civil penalty against Taylor, who at the time was a vice president at the bank's Capital Structure Franchise Trading desk, and later went to work for Morgan Stanley.
Goldman Sachs took a $118 million loss in unwinding the position in e-mini S&P 500 futures contracts.
"Taylor's activity was flagged by our controls on December 14, with no impact to customer funds," Goldman Sachs said in an emailed statement. "Since these events, we have enhanced our controls. We're pleased to have settled this matter."
Taylor had established the position on Dec. 13, 2007.
Bart Chilton, a Democrat and one the CFTC's commissioners, thought the penalty was too low.
"I believe that the monetary penalty should be significantly higher in order to represent a sufficient punishment, as well as to denote a meaningful deterrent to future illegal activity," Chilton said in a statement.

Transcripts Of John Steele's Phone Calls To Alan Cooper
from the what-lawyer-leaves-voicemails-like-this? dept
Anyway, in the court hearing on Monday, Cooper played a bunch of voicemails from Steele, which Steele had left recently, which do not look good for Steele. Here's what Ken White wrote about the calls in the post he did for us:
The most dramatic part of Cooper's testimony -- and perhaps the most dramatic moment in the hearing -- came when Cooper described what happened when his lawyer Paul Godfread notified Prenda Law that he was suing for the misappropriation of his identity. Within minutes, he said, John Steele began to call him. Steele called many times, and over the course of weeks sent texts and left several voice mail messages. Mr. Pietz played the messages for the court.And... yesterday the transcripts of those voicemails was added to the docket as an exhibit by Morgan Pietz, one of the lawyers fighting against Prenda. The transcripts really are about as incredible as White described -- and really suggest attempted intimidation (poorly done, mind you). You would think that a lawyer would know better than to so clearly threaten someone via a recorded message. A couple snippets:
In each message, Steele began by telling Cooper that Steele understands that Cooper's lawyer is only representing Cooper in Cooper's lawsuit, not in Steele's and Prenda's and Duffy's lawsuits against Cooper. It's evident that Steele was saying that in an attempt to justify why he would be directly calling a represented party, which lawyers are prohibited from doing by the disciplinary rules of every jurisdiction. In the calls, Steele talked with escalating intensity about how Cooper was now facing lawsuits, that Cooper needed to call Steele to talk about being deposed and responding to discovery, how things were going to "get ugly" now, and how things were now "complicated." On hearing the voice messages, I thought there was only one reasonable interpretation: John Steele was trying to menace and intimidate Alan Cooper to get him to back off from talking about John Steele's use of his name. By the end of the calls, there was a stunned silence in the courtroom, and I suspected that many spectators were sharing with me a deep sympathy for Mr. Cooper and an abiding sense of revulsion for John Steele.
From second voicemail:It's just classic bullying talk. Incredible.
It's like if you refuse to, you know, return my calls or -- or engage in mandatory conference, then I'm going to have to be forced to ask the judge to, you know, force you to do things and it just gets ugly from there.
So if you do decide to get an attorney in either of those matters or in the other cases which we're filing against you in the upcoming weeks, please let them -- have them give me a call. This number's fine. Otherwise, I expect to hear from you shortly.
From third voicemail
Alan, this is John Steele again.
You have not responded or contacted me regarding litigation you're involved in. I know you've been served with a third lawsuit. And there are more coming. Don't worry about that.
Well, obviously, if I don't hear from you, I'm going to start filing for certain default motions and start getting relief that way.
I can assure you that just ignoring legal matters, it's not going to go away. I can guarantee you, I'm not going away.
So I highly recommend you at least, you know, follow the rules.... otherwise your life is going to get really complicated.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 19, 2009) - Racing out to a 16-point halftime lead, the ETSU men's basketball team only poured it on the Belmont Bruins in the second half, building a lead of as many as 33 points and eventually dismissing its Atlantic Sun Conference rival in convincing fashion 87-57 Monday evening inside Memorial Center.
A raucous season high crowd of 4,196 looked on as the Buccaneers handed the Bruins their program's worst loss since joining the Atlantic Sun Conference. ETSU improved to 13-5 overall, 7-1 in A-Sun play and remains tied with Jacksonville for first place in the league standings. Meanwhile, Belmont drops to 10-7, 6-2.
"It's a crazy game," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "I would have taken a five point win, but tonight we just played really well on both ends of the floor. This was an important game for us but just because it was the next one - not because it was Belmont. I'm really proud of our guys."
The Bucs, who were looking to avenge a heartbreaking loss to Belmont in the semifinals of the A-Sun Tournament last March, simply dominated on both ends of the floor. ETSU hit on 57 percent of its shots from the floor, outrebounded the Bruins 45-35 and forced 17 turnovers on the evening. In addition, the Bucs defense stifled the A-Sun's best offensive squad, holding them to 28 percent shooting (18-of-64) from the floor and just 20 percent from beyond the 3-point arc (7-of-35).
Senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) led the offensive charge for the Bucs with a game-high 24 points, while fellow senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) joined Pigram in the 20-point realm with 22. In addition, sophomore guard Micah Williams (Manchester) pitched in 11 points, and senior forward Greg Hamlin (Flint, Mich.) provided a career high 10 points and 10 rebounds to post his first ever double-double.
The first half was all ETSU from the start. Powered by eight points from Tiggs, ETSU blitzed out to a 14-5 lead before the under 16:00 media timeout. After trading baskets over the next two minutes, another 16-2 run by the Bucs made it 30-13 with 8:06 left, and from there the two teams traded baskets to make it 44-28 at the break.
In the first 20 minutes, Tiggs led all scorers with 15 points, as the Bucs hit on 53 percent of their shots from the floor (18-of-34) and outscored the Bruins 24-8 in the paint. While the offense rolled, the defense was equally impressive by holding Belmont to just 30 percent shooting from the floor and 20 percent from beyond the arc.
The Bucs only kept the pressure on the second half, outscoring Belmont 22-14 in the first eight minutes to basically put the game away.
For Belmont, guard Alex Renfroe led the way with a team-high 16 points, while fellow guard Andy Wicke pitched in 12 and Keaton Belcher had 11.
The Bucs continue with their four-game home stand on Thursday night, taking on league foe Campbell at 7 p.m. inside Memorial Center. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's basketball link.

Samsung 830 Capacity Range Roundup - Samsung Takes a Serious Turn on Performance
Internals, Testing Methodology and System Setup
Before we crack 'er open, let's check out the thickness comparison to a 'normal' SSD. The 830 Series units are all the smaller 7mm form factor. I personally favor this and wish more manufacturers would adopt it. There's nothing wrong with an SSD being smaller and thinner, especially since the internal PCB of these SSD's rarely takes more than 7mm of thickness.
The 830 employs a screwless design and while the design is very clean, it is particularly hard to get into. It's almost impossible to get inside without breaking some of the small plastic tabs that hold everything together.
Note the thermal pad on the top (metal) lid. Now for the close-ups:
- Samsung controller (S4LJ204X01-Y040)
- Samsung RAM (K4T2G314QF-MCF7, 256MB DDR2-800 cache)
- Samsung flash (K9PFGY8U7A-HCK0, 2xnm Toggle Mode, 133Mbps, 32GB/package).
All chips are on the front, and thanks to Samsung's high multiples of dies within each package, internals look similar on larger drives, with those other four blank areas populated for a total of 8 flash packages on the 256 and 512GB variants. There was no need for blank pads at the rear of the PCB.
Here we have the full range of Samsung SSD generations. From left: 32GB SLC G.Skill FlashSSD, Samsung PM800 'PB22-J', Samsung 470 Series, and finally the Samsung 830 Series.
Testing Methodology
Our tests are a good mix of synthetic and real-world benchmarks. PCMark, IOMeter, HDTach, HDTune, Yapt and our custom File Copy test round out the selection to cover just about all bases. If you have any questions about our tests just drop into the Storage Forum and we'll help you out!
Test System Setup
We're breaking in a new Sandy Bridge test bed. Necessary for properly testing these new drives, even with the known issues. To get around this, we are using only the Intel SATA 6Gb/sec ports, which are known to not exhibit the inconsistent performance / connectivity issues.
PC Perspective would like to thank ASUS, Corsair, and Kingston for supplying some of the components of our test rig.

Thanks Al, I was stuck between this and the 520. I'll pretty much get which ever one I can for the least amount when I start my build.
Got one of the 256Gb 830's when they first came out last fall. Compared to the OCZ and Kingston HyperX SSDs I had before, I have not had one issue at all with the Samsung. Fast and reliable.
How does a Crucial M4 hold up against one of these Samsung 830? The reason I ask is I have a M4 NIB, should I return it for one of these 830's?
I would trade it for the 830. The M4 is no slouch, but the 830 reviews seem to have been quite positive, all across the board.
Has anyone here upgraded from an older SATA3 Intel or other SSD to one of these at SATA6 and noticed any difference in system responsiveness, boot-up, application load times, etc. Trying to determine if its a worthy upgrade to an older SSD.
The M4 is a disaster. Massive, unpublished and unacknowledged issues with driver compatibility (especially the vital Intel RST set) that prevent correct sleeping behavior and will keep your event logs full of red warnings.
I RMA'ed mine (I had a 120GB M4 going into my latest PC) and replaced it with a similarly sized Intel 320. Despite the slower interface, the Intel SSD is noticeably more responsive (probably due to the high I/O performance at low QD, and the excellent random read performance) and certainly less buggy.
Sleep works now!
Interesting, I never heard a single complaint about the M4's, and I've sold plenty of them (less so since the 830s were released). To get nit-picky, there isn't a 120GB version of the M4. I think you mean 128GB.
Great review! I love the 830s, and I sell a ton of them. I'd like to see some head to head numbers vs the OCZ Agility and Vertex 3's. Most customers are interested in the OCZ drives because the price is better and the advertised read/write speeds are sexier. To throw in the M4's would be great, given that the prices of the Crucial drives are close to Samsung's prices.
i paid 130 for my m4 128gb. is the price difference worth it for an 830?
Allyn- can you maybe explain the IOMeter results a bit more? I'm a little confused how your results show the 830 outperforming the Intel 520 by such a large margin, when other review sites, for example let's say one that does 'storage review(s)', shows a different story- with the 830 actually lagging a bit in IOPS.

Are these normal speeds for samsung 128gb 830 as a system drive in win7? (seq write @200)
great test, can you give me the 64 version please :)
The 128Gb is now down to £80 at a number of outlets - the price of these is now making conventional disks a bit pointless unless less you have major amounts of data.

Catholic health care advocates and providers will be carefully reviewing Pope Benedict XVI's recent remarks about the use of condoms to prevent the transmission of H.I.V. to decide what the practical implications are of this apparent policy shift. The issue is of particular importance in Africa and other parts of the developing world where H.I.V./AIDS remains a devastating threat.
In the book Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times, which the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, excerpted on Nov. 20, Pope Benedict said focusing exclusively on condoms damages human sexuality, making it "banal" and turning it into a kind of "drug." But he went on to say that in particular cases—he mentioned male prostitutes—condom use may be justified as a first step toward taking moral responsibility for one's actions.
Responding to widespread confusion generated by the comment and its various translations in the media, the Vatican spokesman, Federico Lombardi, S.J., said, "I asked the pope personally if there was a serious or important problem in the choice of the masculine gender rather than the feminine [in the German original], and he said, 'no,' that is, the main point…is [condom use may be] the first step of responsibility in taking into account the risk to the life of another person with whom one has relations."
Father Lombardi added, "Whether a man or a woman or a transsexual does this, we're at the same point. The point is [taking] the first step toward [moral] responsibility, to avoid posing a grave risk to another person."
Lesley-Anne Knight, secretary general of Caritas Internationalis, said, "The pope's reported comments in this book illustrate the importance of compassion and sensitivity in dealing with the complexities of H.I.V./AIDS prevention. Caritas delivers its H.I.V./AIDS programs in line with church teaching and we will consider, in close consultation with the Holy See, whether there are implications for our work in these reported comments of Pope Benedict." Caritas Internationalis is the Vatican-based umbrella organization for 165 national Catholic charities.
Dr. Leonardo Palombi, who works with the Sant'Egidio Community's Dream program of AIDS prevention and treatment in Africa, said, "Condoms aren't the response to everything." He explained that Africa has been virtually flooded with condoms, yet the disease continues to spread because of a lack of responsibility on the part of men, a lack of respect for women and the lack of antiretroviral treatment for all who need it. "A thousand boxes of condoms won't help if a woman has no power to insist her partner use them," he said. Dr. Palombi said antiretrovirals are even more effective in preventing spread of the disease because "they reduce the viral load in the body and in all body fluids—reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission at birth or through breastfeeding and reducing the risk of transmission sexually as well."
Msgr. Robert Vitillo, special representative on H.I.V./AIDS for Caritas Internationalis, said the pope's remarks do not lessen the church's insistence that both the morally correct use of one's sexuality and the safest sexual practice from a health standpoint is "abstinence outside of marriage and faithfulness inside marriage." Father Vitillo said the bishops' conferences of Chad and of Southern Africa have issued pastoral letters saying church workers must support married couples where one or both spouses are H.I.V.-positive, helping them make a conscientious decision regarding the use of condoms to prevent disease while also understanding church teaching that every sexual act should be open to new life.

Abseits vom Strip, Las Vegas Reiseführer
Off the Strip Zusammenfassung
- Accessibility to the Strip, a long walk or a short taxi ride from most hotels
- Several affordable all-suite properties with in-room kitchens
- Quiet distance from the 24-hour party scene on the Strip at many hotels
- Family-friendly hotels without casinos
- More attentive service at smaller hotels
- Great pool-party scene at the Palms and Hard Rock hotels
- Close proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center from some hotels
- Dry, warm-to-hot weather most of the year (but winters can get chilly)
- Fewer dining options than on the Strip
- Often dark, quiet, non-pedestrian-friendly streets
- Most time-share hotels lack entertainment or casinos
- Blistering summers; average highs in the 100s (Fahrenheit) during July and August
What It's Like
Just outside the bright lights, bawdy shows, and grandiose structures, there's a Vegas that stretches beyond that dense, 3.5-mile-long line of hotel-casinos on Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip. Slightly removed from the incessant hustle are a number of hotels -- located anywhere from a five-minute walk to a five- to 10-minute taxi or shuttle ride from the center of the action -- that offer closer proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center, a quieter night's sleep, or, at times, a bit more bang for the buck.
But the downside to any off-the-Strip property is -- you guessed it -- its distance from the Strip. Walking under the Nevada sun is no easy feat, and many of these hotels are surrounded by long, shadeless roads and empty lots. Some hotels offer a shuttle service to the Strip during the day, but you're likely to get stuck taking cab after cab if you want to drink and dine and play on the Strip all night -- and that can get expensive quick. But then again, a few select hotels, such as the Hard Rock or the Rio, are large enough and wild enough that many guests never bother to leave.
Where to Stay
Many off-the-Strip lodging options are time-share hotels or condo-hotels (some with fully-stocked kitchens) or just your average, bland business hotel. In general, these are places with a decreased emphasis on fine dining, posh pool scenes, swank design, fun entertainment, gambling, and many of the other things that draw people to Vegas in the first place. But what they do have, occasionally, is value -- especially for a family or a large group. Check out the Las Vegas Hilton (featuring Barry Manilow) or the Marriott Suites, both right by the Convention Center, or try the Gold Coast, which is typically dirt cheap, but plenty clean.
Some of the more traditional, outrageous Strip-style hotels can be found about a five- to 10-minute drive from the Strip. The Palms and Hard Rock hotel-casinos, for example, are two of the most infamous party hotels in Vegas -- just take a look at these photos of the Hard Rock pool -- and both have great spas, gyms, and restaurants (though, maybe not as great as some of the other leading hotels on the Strip). For an even more affordable party hotel, check out the Rio or the Hooters hotel-casinos.

No. 4 TCU must be on lookout for 'ugly' game
By Mac Engel
[email protected]
The game is coming, or it may have already happened. Every college football coach whose team has a realistic chance of going undefeated knows there will be some game that should be over before it begins -- but won't be decided until the final seconds.
Be it because of a team made up of a collection of 20-year-olds, bad weather, crazy bounces or simply a hot opponent, an upset that should not occur can suddenly be in play.
"I tell you what -- it's a helpless feeling sometimes," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "Fortunately for us, we haven't had those helpless feelings in the last five or six years as much as some others have. It's a helpless feeling when everything they're doing is right and nothing you're doing is going pretty well."
The elements of these games usually consist of the following: a highly ranked team against an ugly underdog, on the road, a week before or after a "big" game.
TCU's game this week fits some of the criteria.
The No. 4 Frogs will play host to a 2-4 team one week before playing host to No. 23 Air Force.
BYU is your atypical ugly 'dog. The Cougars haven't been this bad in years, and motivation to play a conference rival such as this usually isn't lacking.
But Patterson is acutely aware in guarding against such games, but sometimes it's out of his hands.
"No. 1, you can't feel sorry for yourself. All of us have a tendency [to say], 'This is not what I planned on.' That doesn't work very well," Patterson said. "You [have to] start looking at, 'What can I do? What can I say to get [the team] coming back?'"
The signs begin rather quickly. Maybe it's bad weather. Maybe it's an odd turnover or a bizarre touchdown. But the momentum that should have existed for the favorite starts to disappear, and the little engine that could suddenly is playing like the Indianapolis Colts.
It almost feels as if the Frogs might have already gotten this game out of the way.
Ranked No. 4 in the nation on Sept. 24, the Frogs trailed SMU 17-14 early in the third quarter. The evening was beginning to feel like an NCAA Tournament game, when a No. 15 seed starts throwing in stupid 3-pointers from the equator to beat one of the top-ranked teams in the country.
"We're so used to having things go your way, but when things don't go your way, how are you going to respond?" TCU center Jake Kirkpatrick said. "We were able to overcome our mistakes and come away with a good win [41-24 over SMU]."
Nearly every team en route to a special season has one of these games.
TCU had it last season in a 20-17 win at Air Force.
Eventual 2009 BCS national champion Alabama had its version of hell at home against Tennessee in a 12-10 win.
They always seem to happen, and it's just a question of whether the superior team can figure out a way to "ugly" its way to win a game it may deserve to lose.
"That's fair to say," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday via a conference call. "Thinking back, particular to us in the 2000 year, the Texas A&M game we came back and won in the fourth quarter, [it] was probably fair to say, 'Whew, we dodged a bullet.'"
And when that bullet is dodged, there is something far greater gained than just another win.
"Another way to look at it -- it's fate," Stoops said. "I made the comment after [OU beat A&M 35-31 in 2000], 'You know what boys -- we can't lose."

HOUSTON (Jan. 29, 2008) - "Medical Ethics and the Holocaust," a 16-part lecture series that addressed how the practices of the Third Reich continue to influence modern-day medical ethics, filled more than 8,000 seats with members of the medical community including physicians and medical students throughout the State of Texas. Additionally, more than 13,600 individuals visited the lecture series' Web site, 121 applied for continuing medical education (CME) credit and 100 asked for membership information for the Museum.
The lecture series, which was offered at the Museum and via Webcast courtesy of The University of Texas, began in September with an opening night featuring three Nobel Laureates: James Dewey Watson, Ph.D.; Eric Kandel, M.D. and Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D.
Over the next five months, many of the world's most influential scientists, physicians, lawyers, experts, educators and authors offered their views as part of the series on some of the most challenging questions of modern medical, ethical, scientific, legal and public policy.
"Despite the fact that the Holocaust took place more than 65 years ago, its legacy continues to carry over into many aspects of modern medical ethics," said Dr. Sheldon Rubenfeld, who created the series and served as a chair of its steering committee. "With the advent of medical discoveries such as the Human Genome Project, which was designed to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases, it is the responsibility of the medical community to question the ethical consequences of such innovations. Can the Human Genome Project lead to discrimination based on DNA, therefore creating the premise for a perfect race? These types of issues need to be critically analyzed to make sure that we do create another horrific event similar to the Holocaust."
Topics including physician-assisted suicide, use of performance enhancing drugs, the lasting legacy of the Nuremberg trials, the Nazi influence on Hollywood, pre-implementation genetic diagnosis and the doctor-patient relationship were addressed throughout the series. The culmination of the lecture series was a discussion on assessing risk in patient care presented by George Noon, M.D., professor of surgery and chief of the Division of Transplant Surgery and Assist Devices in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and Avraham Steinberg, M.D., director of the Center for Medical Ethics, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem and winner of the Israel Prize for his "Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics." Presented by the Torah Outreach Center of Houston (TORCH) and the Maimonides Society, the lecture emphasized the importance of treating the patient in his or her own interest (and not for scientific reasons) using Noon's surgery on Michael E. DeBakey, world-renown pioneer of cardiovascular surgery, as an example.
A companion exhibit, "How Healing Becomes Killing: Eugenics, Euthanasia and Extermination," also explored how the medical practices of the Third Reich continue to challenge modern-day medical ethics. The exhibition provided historical documentation of the role played by scientists, physicians and government officials and described activities at the six "euthanasia" centers where German and Austrian medical students murdered many of Germany's most vulnerable citizens.
The exhibit remains on view until Feb. 3 in the Mincberg Gallery at Holocaust Museum Houston's Morgan Family Center, 5401 Caroline St., in Houston's Museum District. Admission is free.

Simoneschi Crowned Melges 24 Atlantic Coast, Bacardi Miami Sailing Week Champion
10 March 2013
Miami, FL - The final day of the Melges 24 Atlantic Coast Championship in conjunction with the 2013 Bacardi Miami Sailing Week proved the strength of yesterday's leader board with all three teams remaining on the podium. Italy's Riccardo Simoneschi, owner of AUDI, impressed the fleet with two bullets today overtaking the lead with a five point spread to win the Melges 24 Bacardi Miami Sailing Week. Congratulations to Riccardo, Federico Buscaglia, Enrico Fonda, Lucia Giorgett, and Vittorio Rosso for three great days of racing in Miami.
Simoneschi took the bullet for race one with a huge win in open water. Betty, sailed by Jeremy Tudor had his best race of the day taking second, and Rob Britts on Hot Mess landed third. He too sailed his best in race one of the final day.
Don Wilson's Convexity took race two with a great jump off the line where he was able to reach the top mark first and continue for the win. Catharine Evans' Mojito continued to dominate as a corinthian team in a highly competitive fleet taking second in race two, first for the corinthian division, and fourth in the overall standings. Argyle Campbell sailing Rock 'N Roll took third for race two and finished in seventh place respectively.
Simoneschi, once again with the bullet in the final race of the day, proved why AUDI holds the trophy for the overall winner. Wilson was the runner up in the final race, but was able to move from yesterday's third place standing to finishing the series in second overall. Richard Thompson's Black Seal helmed by Derek Ratteray was able to find a great line and finish in third.
The Bacardi Corinthian Division was extremely competitive over the entire three days. A very proud and extremely giggly Catherine Evan's Mojito took top honors. "I started sailing about two years ago. Then one day on the way in after racing, I asked if I could drived and from there I was hooked. This was so much fun." commented Evans just after awards.
U.S. Melges 24 Vice President and Southeast District Governor Rob Britts on Hot Mess happily claimed second while Curtis Jazwiecki on Gnarly Ruca claimed third.
The Melges 24 fleet is overjoyed at the incredible event organization and management of the Melges 24 Atlantic Coast Championship | Bacardi Miami Sailing week organized by STUDIOMILANO. Thank you to Bacardi for sponsoring the event and providing rum at the Melges Rocks Party and to EFG bank for sponsoring the Melges Performance Sailing DeBrief. In particular, the Melges 24 fleet would like to recognize the amazing efforts of Ron Rostorfer and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club for accommodating to the fleet. Huge thanks as always to PRO Bruce Golison and race committee for all their hard work on and off the water. Also, a special thank you for the strong support of Melges USA.
