Almost 5,000 miles separated Russell Henley from those closest to him Sunday evening when he won the PGA Tours Sony Open in Hawaii.
Age: 23Hometown: Macon, Ga. (resides Sea Island, Ga.)College: University of GeorgiaLocal Connection: Joined the Country Club of Charleston last OctoberNotable: In first start as a PGA Tour member, won 2013 Sony Open in Hawaii and $1,008,000 Sunday with third-best 72-hole score in PGA Tour history, shooting 256, 24-under-par.
He acknowledged their absence during the awards presentation. And thanks to cell phones and FaceTime, Henley was able to share some of the special moment with his parents in Macon, Ga., and his girlfriend Molly Rumph, who lives in Charleston. He also received plenty of texts and emails from the membership of the Country Club of Charleston, which has embraced the 23-year-old since he joined last fall.
A bunch of us have sent messages all week and he responded back, said Gettys Glaze, who is the club champion at the Country Club of Charleston. It was a good day for all of us.
Henley became the first PGA Tour rookie in 10 years to win in his debut, and his 24-under-par performance was the third- lowest 72-hole score in PGA Tour history. Henleys win earned him a two-year exemption to continue playing the PGA Tour and also qualified him to play in the Masters, the PGA Championship and The Players Championship. Oh, and he received a check for $1,008,000.
Attempts to reach Henley, who was traveling from Hawaii to California for this weeks PGA Tour event, were unsuccessful Monday.
Dream come true
Its like a dream. Were all on top of the world, said Rumph, an interior designer and sales representative who moved to Charleston last May. Rumph recently changed jobs and had to be in Atlanta this week. Otherwise, she would have been in Hawaii.
Its the one week of the year I cannot miss with my new job, she said. I had to work really late Sunday. As soon as I got off, my co-workers and I ran across the street to a bar and got to watch the last nine holes. I was in shock. I was so very excited for him. I definitely shed a few tears.
He FaceTimed me on our iPhones, so I got to see him with all his leis. He was all smiles. It was very exciting.
Rumph, 22, said she and Henley have known each other since they were youngsters and began dating seven years ago. He grew up in Macon, Ga., and she grew up in Montezuma, Ga., a small town in the same county.
I always knew it was going to happen, but I didnt think it would be this soon, she said. I wish I could have been there.
Charleston connection
Rumph said Charleston seemed like the perfect fit for her after graduation from Georgia. She wanted to live by the beach and liked the lifestyle Charleston afforded. Henley needed a place to practice while visiting his girlfriend, so he made a call to the Country Club of Charleston, where PGA Tour golfers William McGirt and D.J. Trahan are honorary members.
Its a golf club that has produced many great golfers, including some who have made their mark as professionals. Henry Picard, the 1938 Masters and 1939 PGA champion, began his career there. Former Citadel golfer Walker Inman, who played in nine U.S. Opens and six PGA championships, was a Picard protege. Jack Grout, who played the PGA Tour and is credited with much of Jack Nicklaus success, worked at the Country Club of Charleston under Picard. In the early 1980s, former head pro Bob Boyd left his job at the Country Club to play on the PGA Tour.
He (Henley) asked if he could come out and hit balls. I didnt know who he was, said Hart Brown, the director of golf at the Country Club of Charleston. Henley liked what he saw, paid his initiation fee and became a dues-paying member.
We didnt go out and recruit him, but obviously were delighted he joined, Humphreys said. He came out to the club and fell in love with it. And the members fell in love with him. Hes just a down-to-earth, quiet, nice kid that has one heck of a golf game.
Work ethic
Brown recalled the week before the Sony Open, Henley said the Country Club of Charlestons greens were the best he had ever putted on and would prepare him for the PGA Tour.
Assistant pro Joey DAmico said he told some of the members that Henley might win his first week out because he was putting so well. And the Seth Raynor connection certainly didnt hurt. Raynor designed the golf courses at both the Country Club of Charleston and Waialae Country Club where Henley won the Sony Open.
Hes pretty excited about being out there, DAmico said. He has that exemption, so you might see him win again. He will be more relaxed.
The victory also allows Henley a chance to check something off his bucket list. He will be making a trip to Augusta National in April to play in the Masters.
Im pretty speechless, Henley said in the post-tournament news conference Sunday. I was trying not to think about Augusta. I kept telling myself that this is a long year, youre going to play this game for a long time. Be patient. It doesnt have to happen now.
A lot of people in Charleston are glad it did.

A Buffalo native who fled Austin, Texas, about a month ago after learning he was facing child sexual assault charges was taken into custody Tuesday night at the University at Buffalo South Campus transit station by members of the U.S. Marshal's Violent Fugitive Task Force.
Robert McLarney, 25, who is accused of having sexual contact with a 13-year-old former Buffalo girl, was taken into custody about 7 p.m. at the University Rapid Transit Station.
Dan Larish, superintendent of the task force, and criminal investigator Chris Snack told The Buffalo News that local marshals were tipped off by a U.S. Marshal's Office in Texas that McLarney may have returned to Western New York. McLarney was taken without resistance, was being held in the Erie County Holding Center overnight and is expected to be arraigned this morning.
McLarney first got to know the teen he is accused of sexually assaulting in Buffalo. He became friends with the girl and her mother, and followed them to Austin, the local marshals said. He was sexually active with the girl, now 14, in Texas for some time before he fled Austin about a month ago, Larish and Snack said.

In honor of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we chose five women who have been extraordinary at bringing awareness to myeloma patients and oral chemotherapy parity legislation through the Postcards for Parity Program. All five women have returned to the IMF over 75% of the postcards they received, completely filled out. We all know how difficult it can be to explain legislation to friend and, family, let alone complete strangers on an airplane, but these women have developed great skills to initiate, educate, and advocate for both state and federal legislation with the use of the postcard.
Here are their stories:
Shirley Belknap from Princeton, Minnesota, diagnosed in 2005 with last stage IGD Multiple Myeloma, did not hesitate at all to join the postcard team when it was first advertised in the Advocacy Update. "It didn't take a second thought for me to join the Postcard for Parity team… The IMF postcard, which gives a simple explanation of the issue, has made it an easy project in which to participate."
She was able to breakout of asking only the myeloma community to get involved because "this isn't just a multiple myeloma issue, but a concern for ALL cancer patients." The heart of the matter is that "chemotherapy coverage must not be determined based on how it is administered; orally, injection or IV, it must be covered equally." This distinction for her made her feel very "comfortable asking EVERYONE for their signature. Though we pride ourselves here in my home state of being 'Minnesota nice', I believe it was much more than that which allowed me to participate without ever being turned down. The Cancer Drug Parity Act (HR2746) must be passed and when people become aware of the problem, they want to be part of the solution. It was quick and easy; they sign the card and hand it back to me. I return the cards to the IMF and the IMF does the rest." Thank you Shirley for carrying your postcards everywhere you go!
Each program participant has their own way of collecting postcards and sending them back to the IMF. Sue Bouzounis of Columbus, Ohio, diagnosed in 2010, was one of the first people to fill out a postcard in support of Ohio's SB194 when Meghan Buzby visited her support group in February of this year. On that first iteration of the cards she checked a box that read, "I want to help myeloma patients by: engaging my friends and family." As a member of the Columbus Myeloma Networking Group, Sue volunteered to be the Postcards for Parity Coordinator for the group and engaged other members to help her by taking the cards back to their communities and bringing them back to the next month's meeting completed for her to mail back to the IMF. By each person taking 2-5 cards, they were able to get every card filled out as a team. Sometimes it makes a difference in a support group if a member is asking folks to take action rather than the support group leader. Thank you Sue for taking that on for your group!
Our next rockstar, Karen Vorhies from Prescott, Arizona uses her personal story of cost discrepancy with her oral chemotherapy to explain to folks about why it is important for this bill to be passed. "I just told the recipients of my postcards my co-pay situation and most people were ready to sign right away." While we encourage the program participants to collect the completed cards to mail in bulk back to the IMF, Karen shared her tip on encouraging advocates to each mail their own postcards individually. "I think it helped that I put the stamps on the cards before giving them out. Most people don't have postcard stamps available, and I thought that the cards would get mailed more readily if they were stamped." Thank you Karen for making it so EASY for folks!
Advocate Kim Marrelli from Cleveland, Ohio became an IMF advocate after a visit to her support group from Robin Tuohy, IMF's Director of Support Groups , who presented the group with details of the Advocacy Action Center. "After my diagnosis, I wanted to find a way to help all of us with Multiple Myeloma. I tried fundraising but it wasn't for me. The IMF has made advocacy easy through their Action Center and with the help of Aimee Martin.Therefore, helping out with the Postcards for Parity Program was a no brainer."
Kim has not yet had the pleasure to retire, so with her limited free time she developed a system to speed the process up. "I have a standard email I send out to all prospective signers explaining the issue. I then stop by personally to meet with them to answer any questions and collect their signature. This two step process works well for me…The email lets the prospective signers learn about the issue on their own time and when I stop by we get right down to business since they already know why I'm there." For her this structure worked and allowed her to return double the amount of cards I originally mailed!
Our final Postcard Rockette, Teresa O'Connor from Niskayuna, New York utilized every community she participates in to achieve her goal. "With postcards and pens in hand I approached staff at my oncology office, acquaintances at the gym, friends, and family to ask for their help. I offered to take the card, to save folks the need to add postage and mail, and, in turn, mailed them back to the IMF in bulk. To my delight, a few people took extra cards, got additional signatures, and returned them to me." Her daughter also participated in the program by taking the cards to her work and asking her colleagues to sign them. They both found it a "rewarding experience to find so many people in support of parity."
Teresa has received support from the IMF over the years since her MM diagnosis in 2001 and participated in the program because "getting signatures to petition legislators in support of HR2746 offered me an opportunity to support IMF's efforts, as they have supported me; as well as to help other myeloma patients and all cancer patients get the treatment they need."
Teresa enjoys getting folks in her community to take postcards to their circles as well to have an even bigger impact on legislators from her area. By having many people out collecting postcards in a single district the IMF can deliver more cards to each legislator. "My hope is that, through individuals advocating for drug parity on behalf of IMF's nationwide postcard effort, our legislators will be convinced that oral chemotherapy medications are an effective alternative for cancer patients and should be covered in the same manner as intravenously or injected drugs." Currently, we have collected over 1700 postcards nationwide! In some districts we have up to 150 postcards to hand that legislator and in others we have just one or two. Every postcard makes a difference, but delivering more than 30 makes a significant impact.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has been out in their community asking people to take a moment to support all cancer patients' rights to have access to the best treatment possible for them. Our postcard program has been an amazing catalyst for building a wonderful network of new myeloma patient supporters and none of it would be possible without each and every one of you raising awareness about myeloma and the issues faced by patients.
The Postcards for Parity Program is an ongoing project and if you would like to be a part of spreading the word please contact Aimee Martin at email@example.com.
If you are not yet an IMF advocate, please sign up here.

What program are you following? Perhaps take a look at a program with a slower increase?
Hello everyone,
My goal is to become as healthy as I can possibly be. Im 42, somewhere around 70kg and carrying a little extra fat around the middle.
I've been lifting heavy for a couple of months and seem to have reached my max weights. Roughly the same as when I was lifting a couple of years back:
- Press: 30kg (3x5)
- Chest Press: 40kg (3x5)
- Deadlift: 70kg x 5
- I dont currently do heavy squats as I dont have a rack (got one on order though!)
I seem to have stopped making gains. This is not necessarily a bad thing (or is it?) but I dont know what to do now?
Do I keep doing this stuff at the weights I can lift and increase reps until i can add a little more weight? Do I start eating a ton? (remember, my goal is not size, it's health) or do i stop lifting and do bodyweight stuff for a while? Or work on other big exercises like chin-ups, one arm rows, lunges etc for a while?
Some expert advise would be really appreciated.
Many thanks,
What program are you following? Perhaps take a look at a program with a slower increase?
If your goal is health just lifting at an intensity that is "hard" for you is enough to keep you metabolically fit and to stress your various systems in a manner that will generally promote health.
You need a different program. It's clear you've gone as far as you can go with this one, since it seems you've maxed it out twice at this level. Are you male?
Hi Katherine, thanks for answering. Yes I'm male.
Thanks Neckhammer, Teach, Im not really doing a program as such. Just deads, cpress, press and light squats and chin-ups

You're ready for a program. I bench more than you do.
Well done.I bench more than you do.
Yeah, that's not a very high bench weight (I'm a 30yo female). Check out Starting Strength or a similar program to help you push the limit. You don't have to eat like he suggests. But following a program should help you to build more strength. You should at least be able to get your bench over 100lbs I would think.
Thanks Teach. Yes, my build is quite small. I have some potential health issues going on that I can't really diagnose so I wonder if I am still "healing" after being paleo since last august. It certainly seems I should be able to bench more. I eat really well at the moment (eggs, bacon, steak, veggies) but am only lifting 1 day on, 2 days off so I have plenty of recovery time. Maybe it's time to try less recovery time...?

Timothy Wanamaker got off lightly.
Buffalo's former economic development chief stole public money and he basically got a slap on the wrist.
At least, that's the way most would view the situation, as he was sentenced to three years' probation for using a City Hall credit card to charge more than $27,000 in personal expenses.
He also has to repay the money he stole to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Hired in 2003 by then-Mayor Anthony Masiello, Wanamaker looked like a young man who had it all together. Smart. Innovative. A breath of fresh air for Buffalo's economic development hopes.
His titles included executive director of Buffalo's Office of Strategic Planning. He also headed the Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corp., or BERC, a now-dormant City Hall development agency.
Wanamaker seemed to have the city by the tail until his sense of entitlement got the best of him and he began charging his personal hotel and travel expenses to his city credit card.
U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara was clearly incensed at Wanamaker for his crime, saying: "I just can't imagine – even for a minute – of violating that public trust. I just can't understand why anyone would do that."
The judge had it right. Wanamaker violated public trust and, unfortunately, he is not alone in doing so.
Wanamaker's crimes came to light during the investigation into the unrelated case of the failed One Sunset restaurant, which closed a year after it opened and left $160,000 in unpaid government grants and loans.
That investigation remains open, but in the meantime it has resulted in two unrelated and high-profile prosecutions. Besides Wanamaker, former Common Council Member Brian C. Davis pleaded guilty in May to stealing $48,000 in public funds while representing the Ellicott District on the Council. Davis was sentenced to a year in prison.
Wanamaker cooperated with the FBI and HUD, which led to an offer of leniency from prosecutors and a comment from Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Guerra III that "to a certain extent, he did try to make things right."
Small solace to a community that has every right to ask whether the officials it elects, or the bureaucrats those elected officials hire, will look out for the community's interests or just try to skim as much off the top, bottom or middle as they can.
Apparently, Wanamaker's cooperation has led to substantial changes in how Buffalo and other cities across the country handle federal funding. If there's a silver lining in all of this, perhaps that's a place to look.
Meantime, defense attorney James P. Harrington wants the rest of us to know how remorseful his client is. Most criminals, of course, express remorse after they're caught. If Wanamaker had been truly remorseful, he would have confessed a long time ago and not waited to get caught.
Wanamaker has fallen from grace and his high-paid city job. He's now stocking shelves at Kmart and selling cars.
Once the city's top economic development official charged with helping a distressed community, Wanamaker says he still wants to help communities rebuild. Hard to imagine putting him in another role in which he is entrusted with public money.
It really is a shame.

The Marlins are a joke. Con taxpayers into funding a new stadium, spend money for once and then completely tear it down not even a year later. Even before today, they had unloaded Ramirez and Bell and now they just got rid of anyone left on the team making big money. The Tigers seem to like being trade partners with the Marlins, so maybe the selling spirit can continue on with Giancarlo Stanton for someone not named Nick Castellanos.
I'm hoping once this Torii Hunter deal happens (because I refuse to believe it won't) that the Tigers add to the bullpen for certain and possibly some depth for the back of the rotation since keeping Sanchez seems done. I don't trust Porcello and while I like Smyly, he's still developing and hasn't pitched an entire season of professional baseball. I will have to glance at the available names, but it's not like the Tigers have an abundance of quality starting pitching waiting in the minor leagues should injuries occur again. I would take Laird back as well or might even be fine with Holaday backing up Avila.

WASHINGTON – House Republicans, once bent on again tying an increase in the federal debt ceiling to cuts in spending, punted on both issues Wednesday, passing a bill that lifts the debt limit for four months but at the same time threatening to withhold congressional pay unless lawmakers pass a budget.
The bill, which passed in a 285-144 vote, defuses what just weeks ago seemed to be a time bomb aimed at the American economy. Economists worried that if Congress did not raise the debt ceiling and instead allowed America to default on its debts next month, higher interest rates and an economic downturn would result.
Now none of that is likely to happen, at least in the short term. The Obama administration and Democrats who control the Senate have signaled that they will not oppose the temporary suspension of the debt ceiling, meaning that it is likely to become law shortly.
Still, the bill produced its share of intrigue in the House, with the majority of Republicans – including Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence – turning tail on a debt-ceiling confrontation they had promised, and Democrats such as Rep. Brian Higgins of Buffalo splitting with the party leadership that had urged the measure's defeat.
With the United States set to surpass its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit next month, Republicans at first had insisted that any increase in the limit be accompanied by corresponding cuts in spending.
"About the only leverage the Republicans have is the debt limit," Collins said three weeks ago.
Stung, though, by a loss in the presidential election and historically abysmal poll numbers, the House GOP changed its approach.
Explaining the switch, Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, said "the American people may not agree" with the previous Republican approach of using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip.
Meanwhile, Collins said: "Republicans felt … that this was not the day to draw the line in the sand and battle on what we know is needed in terms of spending cuts and in doing so put the country in jeopardy of going into default."
He noted that a series of coming deadlines will provide a better opportunity for Republicans to spell out their argument that deep spending cuts are needed to avoid driving the nation perilously into debt.
First, some $1.2 trillion in draconian cuts that Democrats and Republicans alike want to redraw are set to take effect March 1 as part of the recent "fiscal cliff" deal.
Second, funding for many current-year programs will expire March 27, meaning that legislation must be passed by then to fund them for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
Next, Congress is supposed to pass a budget for the next fiscal year by April 15 – and under the legislation that the House passed Wednesday, lawmakers will have guns to their heads to force them to do so. The bill would withhold the pay of House members and senators unless a fiscal 2014 budget plan is passed by that deadline.
"All families and businesses have a budget, yet it has been nearly four years since the Senate passed one," Reed said. "It's a gross failure of one of the most basic functions of governing, and now it is time for the Senate to step up and join the House to pass a budget. We need the Senate to do their job, pass a budget, and live by it."
The House is planning to prepare a budget that would come into balance in a decade – down from 30 years under the spending plans produced the last two years by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis.
And that's good news to Collins, who proposed during his campaign for Congress that the budget be balanced in 10 years.
"Leadership listened to the conservative side of the party, and there are enough of us that they came forth" with the 10-year budget-balancing commitment, "and I don't think it took any arm-twistiing," Collins said.
Big changes in Social Security and Medicare are sure to be part of that 10-year plan, Collins said – and that's just what worries Higgins.
"They're going to destroy Medicare, and they're going to destroy Social Security, because they have to" in order to balance the budget that fast, Higgins said.
While disagreeing vehemently with the Republicans' long-term budget plans, Higgins voted for the Republican bill to suspend the debt ceiling through May 18.
"It's a distraction. It's not worth fighting," Higgins said of the bill. "It's not perfect, but it's better than the uncertainty that otherwise would occur between now and May."
The temporary suspension of the debt ceiling split the House Democratic Caucus, with 86 members favoring it and 111 voting against it.
Democratic leaders had recommended that lawmakers oppose the measure.
"It is a gimmick unworthy of the fiscal and economic challenges that we face," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
"This bill kicks the can down the road for 90 days. One more time," said House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md.
"This bill simply puts a leverage point, another 90 days away, so that we can continue to roil this Congress, roil this country, and roil our people and our economy."
But it's a gimmick, Higgins said, that gets the GOP out of a bind that it put itself into with its unprecedented 2011 decision to start using the debt ceiling – which long had been raised routinely – as leverage in budget negotiations.
"I think they're beginning to realize that the damage [in doing so] is not being inflicted on the opposite party," Higgins said. "It's being inflicted on the American people and the American economy."

People like to think they're sooooo advanced and beyond animals because they have art, music, and technology when all the while not one of these things (or anything else they've created for that matter) will mean a thing after people die just like every other organism on the planet. The only thing that truly seperates people from any other animal is that they are aware of their own mortality, and if you ask me that's not really something to be proud of.

Eating out a girl while she is raggin it
Scott was munchin on Shawna's snatch, therefore earning his redwings
von baddkittyx 14. April 2005
in the indigenious process of "eating a girl out" you may be stained by blood from her menstrual cycle in the shape of "wings," therefore you have blood on the sides of your mouth. Thus the "red wings" are born.

Boyd Lee Dunlop's piano playing takes you back to a time before jazz musicians learned their craft at colleges and conservatories. A time when you learned jazz by listening – and living.
On a quiet weekday morning, he sits at the spinet in the Delaware Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, decades of songs are under his fingers.
"I love the old songs," Dunlop says, smiling. "They had meaning."
Dunlop plays every morning in the nursing home. This was his routine before he released his first CD, "Boyd's Blues," just over a year ago. And it is his routine now.
Even though the disc captured the imagination of journalists worldwide and reached No. 5 on the jazz charts, life continues as it always has. He laughs as he admits that.
"I'm still Boyd Lee Dunlop," he says.
Last year, the international success of "Boyd's Blues" was like something out of a dream. The CD, Dunlop's first, came about by accident, through the intervention of photographer Brendan Bannon. Bannon, 42, came into the nursing home one day to take pictures, and pianist and photographer made friends.
Now, the miracle that was "Boyd's Blues" continues.
About a year ago, a few weeks after the release of "Boyd's Blues," Dunlop almost died.
"He flatlined," says Kate Wannemacher, the director of nursing at the Delaware Avenue care center.
But Dunlop, who is made of strong stuff, bounced back. And now, at 86, he is releasing a new CD that he will celebrate in concert at 2 p.m. Sunday in Asbury Hall.
It is called "The Lake Reflections" because its improvisations were anchored by a series of horizontal, moody photographs Bannon took of Lake Erie. While "Boyd's Blues" was a trio album, "The Lake Reflections" is solo piano. It's more conducive to Dunlop's delicate, stream-of-consciousness playing. He admits he's happier on his own.
Wannemacher chimes in that she is also happier to hear Dunlop by himself.
"I hear the solo Boyd," she says. "I hear it every morning. I hear Boyd's heart every morning. That's what I hear."
'I feel good!'
Being a recording artist has changed Dunlop's life in some ways.
"The phone has been ringing," he admits. "I'm OK with it. But people who call me late at night, I don't like."
Bannon helped out, and so did Wannemacher. "We kept the public at bay," she says.
Her resident celebrity was new to fame. His younger brother, Frankie Dunlop, was a renowned drummer, famous for his records with Thelonious Monk. But Boyd Lee Dunlop is both dazzled and disbelieving as he and Wannemacher turn the pages of a scrapbook of the media attention that followed "Boyd's Blues."
"I was in Jet?" he marvels.
For a man who came back from the dead, he looks startlingly alive. His eyes dance when he greets you. His smile is wide and bright.
Every Sunday, a friend picks him up on a motorcycle and takes him to church. Dunlop claims happily – and believably – that the folks at church tell him, "Boyd, you light up the room."
If he helps God out, God helps him back. Dunlop gives generous credit to the Almighty.
"It comes from God," he loves to say, pointing heavenward.
"You talk a lot about God, man, don't you?" says Bannon.
"I do," Dunlop admits. He sometimes works hymns into his playing.
Dunlop's age has given him grace and distinctiveness. Until recently, music was always his avocation. Instead of playing for a living, he worked in steel mills and on railroads. A couple of decades ago, he was known around town as one of a number of seasoned musicians who could be found at the Colored Musicians Club, a grand old group that also included pianists Al Tinney and Joe "Groove" Madison.
Now, he is the soul survivor.
Frankie Dunlop, the drummer, is in New Jersey. He is not well, Wannemacher says, and is unaware of his big brother's sudden success. Boyd Lee Dunlop has a daughter, but like a lot of Buffalo expats, she lives in North Carolina. He was married, but it didn't last.
Bannon teases Dunlop, good-naturedly. "Now you're walking on the graves of people who said you wouldn't do it, right, Boyd?"
"That's right," Dunlop beams. "I feel good!"
Art Tatum's beer
Dunlop loves to play, usually turning out two sets daily in the dining room. The staffers slow down as they wipe tables. Now and then, a resident applauds.
He would play even if no one were there. Musicians who do not need to play, he believes, are not real musicians. "They're not playing out of their heart."
He has always played out of his heart.
It is fun to quiz Dunlop about his past. He has an amusing habit of referring to places by house numbers. There is not only 272 Jefferson, the family home, but 361 Sycamore St. (a beer joint); 15 Walnut St., etc.
He was little when he spotted a beat-up piano in a neighbor's backyard, and instinctively touched the keys.
"I heard these sounds in my head," he says. "I wanted to play what I heard."
As Dunlop loves to say, he had only five piano lessons. But a turning point came when he heard Art Tatum, in a Buffalo club, playing "Sweet Lorraine."
"Oh, my God, that's beautiful," he remembers saying. "That's how I learned to play the piano, to make beautiful sounds."
Memories of Tatum can be coaxed out of Dunlop. "He didn't drink whiskey. He drank beer," he says. "He had the case right by the side of the piano. It was sitting on the right-hand side. He'd do a run up the keyboard, pick up the beer. He did it so fast you didn't know he was drinking it."
Other names, too, stir memories.
He liked Nat "King" Cole: "He's funky." He begins singing "Straighten Up and Fly Right."
Then he shakes his head. "He didn't have much of a voice," he says of Cole. "It was raspy. He wasn't a singer's singer – I'll put it that way." He prefers Billy Eckstine and Mel Torme.
What about women singers? Dinah Washington gets his vote. "She could sing! But she cursed all the time. My God." Billie Holiday? "I'm traveling light," Dunlop sings, "because my man is gone...' She sang hard songs."
Mention the Pine Grill, the old gutbucket Buffalo club, and a smile slowly spreads across Dunlop's face. "Heck, yeah," he laughs.
He is free with his opinions.
"Earl Hines was old-fashioned even when I was a kid!"
"Rachmaninoff was really beautiful. Thick hands, but agile."
"Sarah Vaughan? She had a man's voice," he says. Hilariously, he imitates Vaughan's deep notes. Dunlop is a good mimic. His brother Frankie reportedly shared that talent.
Don't fence him in
Once, in Hollywood, Dunlop met George Gershwin. "Not easy to talk to at all," he says, adding Gershwin was cold.
No one could call Dunlop cold. But he has his tough side.
He doesn't like being fenced in. When he was a toddler on Buffalo's East Side ("We were poor!" Dunlop exclaims) his mother was talking to a friend and, restless, Boyd Lee decided to cross the street.
"A car just missed running over me," he says. "The car skidded and got this close to me." He holds his fingers apart a fraction of an inch. "My mother tore me up! She took her knuckle and tried to drive it through my head. She said, 'You damn near got killed!' "
Bannon says that Dunlop told him, "You're the first guy I ever trusted." It could be true. Dunlop tells of how he threatened violence when his father objected to him playing the piano. Asked about his time in the Army – he served in India during World War II – he veers into stories of racism and fights.
More frequently, though, Dunlop is in a sentimental mood.
Bannon grows emotional as he tells how Dunlop told him: "You gave me back myself."
He visits Dunlop frequently, and they can while away hours talking of this and that. When a woman is on the scene, the dynamic changes. "I'm sorry!" Dunlop will say devilishly, when a swear word slips out. But the conversation flows easily, if erratically.
There is a long exploration of the science of jumping on and off moving freight trains, something both of them can discuss with alarming competence. "I was a professional hobo!" brags Dunlop. He laughs about how once he wound up hitching a ride in a cattle car full of pigs.
When his food tray arrives, he broods. He likes meat, Dunlop admits. "But every once in a while I think it was an animal. And then I don't want to eat it."
Occasionally, the talk turns to piano.
"One guy called me a genius," Dunlop says. "It stuck in my head. I didn't know how to take it. It's no effort for me to play. I feel so relaxed when I play the piano," he explains. "I don't back off and play. I hit this note, I hold these notes down."
That's what he plans to do on Sunday. He did it before, and he can do it again.
"I reached up to the sky and brought the house down," Dunlop laughs. "God gave me the talent."

Northwestern State is probably unfamiliar to most basketball fans in the north, just as most southerners are probably clueless about Niagara. But when the two meet at the Gallagher Center on Feb. 23 the entertainment value could rival that of any game in the ESPN BracketBuster series announced on Monday night.
The aptly nicknamed Demons of Northwestern State play a frenetic style in which 10 players see an average of at least 15 minutes a game. The result? Northwestern State is 14-6 overall, 8-2 in the Southland Conference and leads the nation in scoring at 83.9 points per game. Niagara (14-9, 10-2 in the MAAC) is 36th at 75.4 ppg. The game will be televised on ESPNU at 3 p.m. Feb. 23.
Canisius (15-8, 8-4) also drew a broadcast game and will play at Vermont at 1 p.m. on Feb. 23 (ESPN3). The Catamounts (14-7, 7-2) of America East dropped a 68-58 decision at Niagara back on Dec. 16.
UB (8-14, 3-5) will host a BracketBuster for the fourth time and is pitted against Manhattan (7-15, 5-7) of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference on Feb. 23. The defensively accomplished Jaspers fell to Canisius and Niagara by identical 64-60 scores in their mid-January trip to Western New York.
This is the final year of the BracketBuster event, which began in 2003. While it provided top mid-major teams with national television exposure, the name was misleading in that it had little if any impact on the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.
One benefit was that the home team would agree to a road rematch the following season. But that became less of a sure thing and ADs and coaches began to question the value of the concept. One coach a few years ago began calling the event the "BudgetBuster" because hastily made travel plans became a financial burden for the road team.
BN Big 4 Player of the Week: Billy Baron averaged 19.5 points, 6.5 assists, shot 50 percent from the floor and played 75 of a possible 80 minutes as Canisius shot back into the thick of the MAAC race with home-court victories over Loyola (Md.) and Iona.
The Griffs open the week Thursday at Manhattan (dangerous because of its defense) before heading to Monteagle Ridge for Sunday's rematch with Niagara. The Eagles take their two-game MAAC lead to Rider on Thursday. The Broncs have lost three of four but haven't lost to Niagara at home since Jan. 14, 2007.
Go try and figure Northern Illinois. The Huskies bounced back from national embarrassment last week by ending an 11-game series losing streak against Kent State (67-65) and beating the Golden Flashes in DeKalb, Ill., for the first time since 1998. The victory came one game after NIU set an NCAA Division I record for futility by scoring four first-half points in a 42-25 loss to Eastern Michigan.
"What a difference from Saturday to Wednesday," said NIU head coach Mark Montgomery. "I loved how our players came out and responded after a tough game at Eastern (Michigan). I thought the start really helped get us going and I thought that we outplayed them for 39 minutes and 30 seconds but somehow they found a way to tie it."
The Huskies persevered when Abdul Nader nailed the tie-breaking jumper with 2.2 seconds left. He's NIU's top scorer at 14.5 points per game, although he's shooting a sketchy 35 percent from the floor. NIU has a mid-week game against Bowling Green before visiting Alumni Arena at 1 p.m. Saturday for a Mid-American Conference crossover game with UB. The Bulls open the week with their second straight trip to Michigan. They play at EMU on Wednesday night.
There's been a lot of bold talk coming out of Akron this season and it grew all the stronger when the Zips throttled visiting Ohio, 86-72, Saturday in a showdown between the MAC's last two unbeatens. The Zips saw the outcome as evidence the balance of power has shifted. Ohio U. beat Akron by a point in last year's MAC title game and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen.
"We'll be back this year and reclaim it," Akron guard Alex Abreu said. "All I think about is a national championship. It might sound crazy, but I don't think we have anything to envy from anybody in the country. We're full at every position. We're big. We're strong. We have guard play. We have shooters. There is nothing we really lack, other than confidence."
This may be coach Keith Dambrot's deepest Akron team but the Zips have some issues to resolve. They fell behind UB by 20 at home before rallying to win and trailed Ohio in the first half by 13. But the Zips do have reason to crow some: Their 13-game winning streak is now the longest in the nation and they should have clear sailing until the Feb. 27 rematch against Ohio in Athens.
If Akron fails to win the MAC Tournament it could be this year's Iona – a surprise at-large draw – although the conference's No. 17 rating in the conference RPI won't help.
St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt rarely if ever lets a postgame news conference slip by without mentioning the rigors of life in the Atlantic 10 (which, as we know, is really the A-16). It's not an excuse. It's a fact.
The A-10 has 10 teams ranked in the top 78 of the RPIs. Trouble is, because they're doing such a good job beating up on each other and because the A-10 holds just a No. 7 ranking in the conference RPIs, its overall strength probably won't be reflected in the number of NCAA Tournament spots.
Right now ESPN bracket master Joe Lunardi has Butler, VCU and La Salle in the field with Temple relegated to a play-in game (or, what the NCAA calls a first-round game). The leaves out 17-4 Charlotte and 16-5 Saint Louis.
Lunardi's selection of Temple reflects his Philly roots.
Truth is, the Owls, at 14-7 overall and 3-4 conference, are a long shot. Their latest loss came Saturday, when Saint Joseph's scored a 70-69 victory in the last A-10 meeting between the rivals (Temple is leaving for the Big East).
Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli sounded like Schmidt after that Temple game. Nice win. Time to move on.
"They can have until Monday morning," Martelli said. "Then we are on the road, at Dayton. And 13,000 people are going to show up at Dayton. They are going to come in a wounded team, having lost two in a row. That's not a night off. There are no nights off in this league. You know what? The sky was falling because we beat Fordham by four the other night. It was on the road. No nights off, man. No nights off."
Bona has its first meeting with A-10 newcomer Butler on Wednesday night in storied Hinkle Fieldhouse (Time Warner Cable) and then moves on to face Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon.

Program Goals | Objectives | Program Requirements | Academic
Minor | Teaching Minor | Additional
Requirements for Spanish and French | Examinations | Course Descriptions
The Spanish Program offers a minor (academic or teaching) in Spanish. Our courses deepen a student's sensitivity to the everyday communication potential of a foreign language and cultivate an appreciation of cultural diversity.
The Language Faculty can advise entering students with prior foreign language study on proper course placement. Student placement at a 2 nd or 3 rd year level does not reduce the total number of hours required for a Spanish minor.
Generally, but subject to advisor and/or instructor recommendation, students who have studied Spanish for two years at the high school level are excluded from registering for the first semester Spanish 110 course (Spanish I).
A maximum of 12 external hours (transfer, CLEP, Prior Learning. Challenge Exam, or other external language exams) may be applied toward the minor (see below under "Additional Requirements and Procedures").
To fulfill the requirements for an academic minor in Spanish, students must complete a minimum of 20 credit hours in Spanish coursework. (SPAN 110 is not counted toward the minor.)

Lesson Plan
Batteries Lesson Plan: How Does a Battery Work?
Grade Levels: 3-5, 6-8
In this lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 3-8, students use BrainPOP resources and a hands-on investigation to learn how batteries operate.
Students will:
- Label the parts of a battery.
- Order the steps to describe how a battery works.
- Demonstrate understanding of a battery's operation through a hands-on investigation and oral/written reflection.
- Internet access for BrainPOP
- Class set of copies for the Activity Page and Advanced Activity (or computer access for students to type into the forms online)
Lesson Procedure:
- Project the Batteries (Review) Quiz for the class to see and tell students you're going to see just how much they already know about batteries.
- As you display each question, have students use Poll Everywhere to share their responses. Alternatively, they could write their answers on a small dry erase board or show their answers on their fingers (1 finger means choice A, 2 fingers means choice B, etc.) Talk through student misconceptions.
- Pass out copies of the Advanced Activity or have students pull it up on their computers and prepare to type directly into the form. Invite students to read over the questions on the form, and listen for the correct answers in the BrainPOP movie.
- Play the Batteries Movie all the way through for the class. You may want to turn on closed captioning to aid students in comprehension.
- Provide a few minutes for students to work with a partner to fill in the activity form based on what they learned so far.
- Play the movie through a second time, pausing for students to fill out additional information on the activity form or correct any misinformation they've written.
- Allow students to explore batteries in a hands-on activity. If you do not have an investigation included in your curriculum, you may want to check out the ideas from Try Engineering, in which students explore the electrical circuits in a flashlight and how batteries operate. For younger students (grades 3-5). Other ideas include the construction of a Potato Battery experiment or have students make their own battery.
- Have students re-take the initial quiz to see what they've learned through the activities they've explored. Another assessment idea is to have students complete the Activity Page and respond to both true/false as well as open-ended questions.

New Va. boating requirements begin July 1
Boaters in Virginia will soon have to take a safety course before hitting the water.
Starting July 1st anyone 40 and younger will need to have a boating safety course. This class can be taken online or in person at several locations throughout Virginia.

After signing two high school state champions in the fall, Stetson volleyball head coach Tim Loesch has inked two more state champions to National Letters-of-Intent, while also adding a quality libero to the program.
Danika Yoder (Venice, Fla.) of Florida Class 7A Champion Venice High School and Tiffany Creamer (Newnan, Ga.) of Georgia Class A Champion Landmark Christian High School will join the Hatters for the 2013 season. Abby Boll (Jacksonville, Fla.) a product of Bishop Kenny High School, has also committed to Stetson.
"It is exciting to add these three talented young women to our roster," Loesch said. "They have accomplished much during their high school and club careers, and I have no doubt they will do the same for Stetson."
Yoder, a 5-7 setter, helped lead Venice to a 29-3 record and the 7A state title this past fall. She had 47 assists and 19 digs in the state semifinal victory over Buchholz and 36 assists and 10 digs in the championship match vs. St. Thomas Aquinas.
Yoder was named third-team All-State and an HTPreps all-area performer for the Indians, who finished the season with 14 consecutive wins. Venice also won four district championships and two regional titles during Yoder's four years.
"Danika is a very determined, intelligent competitor that makes those around her better," Loesch said. "She has fast feet and accurate hands, which are two vital attributes for setters. However, even more important is her will to win, which drives her to succeed and is contagious."
Creamer, a 6-2 outside hitter, was an All-American for Landmark Christian in 2012. She led the entire state of Georgia (all classifications) with 679 kills and 167 aces. She also recorded 491 digs and 82 blocks to help lead the Lady War Eagles to a 41-14 record and the Georgia Class A Championship.
Creamer was also named to the GHSA All-State team and was selected as the Area 3A Player of the Year. She was a two-time first-team all-area honoree and her team's MVP for three consecutive years.
"Tiffany's great work ethic has fueled constant improvement in all aspects of her game in recent years," Loesch said. "Helping her reach her potential as an aggressive outside attacker, consistent serve-receiver and solid defender will be a lot of fun. Tiffany is a selfless team-player that inspires others to do their best during practice and games."
Boll, a 5-3 libero, recorded 379 digs, 48 assists, and 20 aces for Bishop Kenny (23-8) in 2012. She helped lead the Crusaders to a district and regional championship and an appearance in the Florida Class 5A State Final Four. Boll has also competed in Track and Field since her sophomore year.
"Abby's experience and diverse skills allows her to contribute in many ways," Loesch said. "She is a consistent passer, a tricky server, an acrobatic digger, and she can help set if needed. She plays with a passion that teammates love to be around and is a joy to watch.
"They are dynamic athletes, smart students, team leaders and proven winners," Loesch added about all three student-athletes. "They will fit in well with the team culture we are building here."
Each of Yoder, Creamer and Boll's respective club teams recently qualified for USA Volleyball Junior National Championship tournament. They join earlier signees Madison Akins (Brooks, Ga. / Whitewater HS), who is a club volleyball teammate of Creamer, and McKenna Foster (Ocala, Fla. / Vanguard HS).

What do you think is the real problem?
I wish I knew what was being discussed in those meetings and which side was not being flexible. I don't even want to speculate at this point, having only heard the two initial proposals. One proposal from the owners was "Go f*** yourself" and the players proposal was "Lets rollback the salaries a little bit, but in two years, show me the money!" A deal CAN get done here, but both sides have to see the problem first. So far, neither side wants to even acknowledge the real problem.
Because the union's offer addressed what is the biggest problem with revenue sharing. Their offer seemed basically like "we'll cut you guys a break for a few years and help you sort out these struggling franchises, then we'll revert back to the all the concessions we made 8 years ago." It didn't go far enough as I don't think reverting to the current CBA is a long term solution, but it was definitely acknowledging the problem, and is a solid starting point for negotiating.

Oh, and seeing as how I am everywhere and everything today, I'm also here where guilt tastes just like a birthday cupcake.

I asked this in another thread but thought it better to have a separate thread.
Has anyone tried P-Spot massagers? They've always intrigued me but I wanted to wait until I knew which one I wanted and whether or not I'd enjoy one.
Specifically, I'm thinking something like the Rude Boy (or maybe the Big Boy). I have a little glass plug that's kinda fun, the Big Boy is essentially three of those in a row tilted towards the prostate. Seems like fun. Some complain about it falling out, but then again, there's usually somebody for every backdoor toy that complains about it not staying in; just how it goes.
If anyone else has the Rude Boy, Big Boy, or any of those type massagers, can you say whether or not it's comfortable to leave in for a while? The glass toy I have gets uncomfortable to sit on because of the base, I'm sure sitting on a bullet vibe wouldn't be much better but maybe it angles in a different way.
I've found that when I'm sitting I can't really squeeze my Kegel muscles without squeezing my sphincter muscles a bit too, which lends nicely to having something to 'squeeze' back there.
I've never really understood the Aneros ones, but I don't think I'd like something like that. I'm kinda lazy, I'd prefer to sit back and have the bullet do the work.
Opinions? Thoughts? Thanks!

A federal appeals court lifted its freeze on same-sex marriages in California on Friday, requiring the state to issue licenses to gay couples starting immediately.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a brief order saying it has dissolved a stay it imposed on gay marriages while a lawsuit challenging the state's voter-approved ban on such unions worked its way through the courts.
In Sacramento, more than a dozen couples arrived at the Sacramento County Clerk's Office soon after the appeals court's decision, to obtain a marriage license.
Administrators at the county clerk's office said they would stay open until 7 p.m. Friday to marry same-sex couples.
Diana Luiz and Nicola Simmersbach raced to the clerk's office after Luiz read about the court's decision on the Internet.
The couple was surrounded by friends, family and a dozen cameras as they exchanged vows in the chapel.
Luiz and Simmersbach said they had waited five years to be legally married in California.
Luiz shouted "history" as she threw her hands in the air with a small bouquet.
Robert Woodward and Adam Hennessy exchanged vows moments later.
"Being able to do this, it's like you can breathe again, you know. You don't have to wonder whether you are equal," Woodward said afterward.
Nineteen licenses were granted in the county, and 11 ceremonies have taken place so far.
Couples scrambled to get flowers, wedding cakes and rings and notify friends and family members after the unexpected move by the appellate court.
The office will not be open this weekend, but there are already plans for extended hours Monday.
About an hour after the appeals court cleared the way for same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses, the lead plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned Proposition 8 tied the knot at San Francisco City Hall.
State Attorney General Kamala Harris presided at the wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, of Berkeley. The couple sued to overturn the state's voter-approved gay marriage ban along with Jeff Katami and Paul Zarrillo, of Burbank, who planned to marry Friday evening at Los Angeles City Hall.
"They have waited and fought for this moment," Harris said. "Today their wait is finally over."
Harris declared Perry, 48, and Stier, 50, "spouses for life," but during their vows, they took each other as "lawfully wedded wife."
Sponsors of California's same-sex marriage ban said the appeals court's decision was "disgraceful."
Anthony Pugno, general counsel for a coalition of religious conservative groups, called the 9th Circuit's order an "outrageous act" by judges and politicians determined to overturn Proposition 8.
He called the court's decision an "abuse of power to manipulate the system and render the people voiceless."
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that the sponsors of California's voter-approved gay marriage ban lacked authority to defend the measure in court once Harris and Gov. Jerry Brown refused to do so.
The decision lets stand a trial judge's declaration that the ban, approved by voters in November 2008, violates the civil rights of gay Californians and cannot be enforced.
Under Supreme Court rules, the losing side in a legal dispute has 25 days to ask the high court to rehear the case. The court said earlier this week that it would not finalize its ruling in the Proposition 8 dispute until after that time had elapsed.
It was not immediately clear whether the appeals court's action would be halted by the high court.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - January is National Radon Action Month, and the Nevada Radon Education Program of University of Nevada Cooperative Extension will offer a free radon education presentation at the Incline Village Library, 845 Alder Ave., on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 6:30 p.m.
Attendees can learn about the radon health risk, how to test for it and how to fix radon problems. A certified radon mitigator will also present information on radon mitigation and free radon test kits will be offered.
Additional radon education presentations will also be offered Jan. 26 at the North Valleys Library in Reno at noon and Jan. 30 at the South Valleys Library in Reno at 6 p.m.
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas present in many homes, schools and buildings, yet few people know of the health risk nor have tested for it. Most people associate lung cancer with smoking, but radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers.
Every year, radon-induced lung cancer kills more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving, falls in the home, drowning or home fires. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates 21,000 Americans die each year from lung cancer caused by indoor radon exposure.
The EPA recommends remediation if the home's radon level is at or above 4 picoCuries per liter of air (pCi/l). According to experts, living in a home with an average radon level of 4 pCi/l poses a similar risk of developing lung cancer to smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day.
Radon-induced lung cancer is highly preventable. A simple three-day test can determine if a house has a radon problem and winter is an ideal time to test a home for radon. When a home is closed up during cooler weather months, radon concentrations typically increase.
In Incline Village, 34 percent of the homes tested found radon levels at or above the EPA Action Level of 4 pCi/l. More than 35 percent of homes in the 89451 zip code area had elevated radon levels, followed by zip code 89450 with 27 percent and 89452 at 25 percent.
One can't predict which homes will have high radon levels, as two neighboring homes can have very different radon levels. Therefore UNCE, EPA and the Nevada State Health Division urge all Nevadans to have their homes tested for radon.
Free radon test kits are available at the Incline Village Recreation Center, 980 Incline Way, now through the end of February, during normal center hours, Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
For more information, visit the Nevada Radon Education Program website, www.RadonNV.com, or call the Radon Hotline, 888-RADON10 (888-723-6610).

Heath Ledger's maniacal twist on the Joker in The Dark Knight in no way resembled his true character off set – that of a proud father to his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his costars say.
"Because he died people want a dark story [that] he was so obsessed with the character, he was so contaminated by the Joker and he couldn't sleep and all of that stuff," said costar Gary Oldman, who plays Lt. Jim Gordon in the film, adding that wasn't the case.
"In between takes he would sit on the curbside and smoke a cigarette and laugh and talk about his daughter Matilda," added Oldman Sunday at the press day for the film. "I thought he was just a beautiful kid. I thought he was just wonderful. I had a real affection for him.
Ledger, who died in January, gushed about his daughter with actress Michelle Williams to costars on set.
"Heath showed me pictures of [Matilda] ... [he] would come in and say she did this and she did that," recalled Aaron Eckhart, who plays District Attorney Harvey Dent in the sequel out July 18.
But Ledger's other love on set was for his character, the Joker. Eckhart added: "He really created his look. That character Heath loved so much. He really cared about the Joker."
Director Christopher Nolan said he needed an actor who would be "truly fearless" for the role and Ledger was up for the challenge.
"[For] those who knew him and those who had the privilege of working with him, it's pretty amazing the disparity between the person he was and the monster that he created for us," Nolan said. "To see that being created from this very gentle person is a real testament to his skill as an actor."

Despite the plethora of attention Penryn received
over the last few weeks, Intel's newest roadmaps put the processor launch
for Q1'08. This indicates the launch has not necessarily accelerated even
though the initial
tape-out proved extremely successful.
On the other hand, Intel's 2008 roadmap shows every segment simultaneously
deploying 45nm products. Like AMD's recent 65nm Brisbane
launch, Intel guidance notes the processors will start shipping Q4'07
but the actual launch will come as a coordinated 2008 event.
The first Intel 45nm treatments will come from the quad-core Yorkfield and
dual-core Wolfdale desktop processors. Wolfdale has two
physical cores on a single die and up to 6MB of L2 cache. Yorkfield is then two Wolfdale dice on a single package. Also worth
noting: Wolfdale ships with a 1333MHz front-side bus and Yorkfield ships
with a 1066MHz front-side bus. Chipset support will largely come from Bearlake-family
that was previously
disclosed on DailyTech.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about these two processors is the return of
Hyper-Threading. This, however, does not mean that Yorkfield will
appear as eight logical cores, nor does it mean Wolfdale will appear as
four logical cores. Intel's internal guidance on the subject specifically
claims the processor will ship with Hyper-Threading, but will only utilize 4
threads. On every Intel roadmap in the past, Hyper-Threading doubles the
amount of listed threads in the guidance documentation. Clearly, there is
more of a mystery here still. (Update: Please read the retraction below.)
"The official company policy is that our engineers have left the door open
for Hyper-Threading, but we cannot confirm or deny any future plans for the
technology," adds Intel Public Relations Manager Dan Snyder.
All Penryn cores also include Intel TXT, previously known as Intel LaGrande Technology. TXT stands for Trusted Execution Technology and refers to the collection of devices. The Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, is one component. DMA page protection is another.
Alas, even if 2008 seems like a long time away for the 45nm platform, it's
important to note that all Intel platforms will have 45nm SKUs in Q1'08. Penryn,
the family name for Intel's first generation 45nm consumer CPUs, also refers
specifically to the 45nm dual-core mobile CPU. Intel's current roadmap
claims this processor will lead the Q1'08 mobile push with several low voltage
models coming one quarter later.
For servers, Wolfdale will make an appearance as a dual and single
socket Xeon. It's been long-standing Intel policy to separate desktop,
mobile and server chipsets into different products; Conroe was the Core
2 desktop CPU and Woodcrest, though physically nearly identical, was the
Xeon counterpart. Wolfdale as a server and a desktop CPU indicates
the chips are electrically identical -- though each will likely receive
different packaging for the different sockets.
Yorkfield will not receive the same codenaming treatment as Wolfdale on
the server. Instead, Harpertown will be the quad-core Xeon for two
socket servers. Yorkfield will still be the company's single-socket
quad-core Xeon offering.
quote: One of the nice things about HT is that it can help hide slow memory, provided you've got enough cache
quote: HT lets you fill in unused issue width with OPs from another thread. So if you stall waiting on a cache miss (or even a cache hit) you can continue to work on another thread rather then letting the CPU grind to a halt for 10-100 clock cycles
quote: True...and in a single core environment this would (and is) usually a very good thing. But the scheduler (and apps) sees the HT virtual core as just another core. So if you are running 2 simultaneous threads, there is no method by which you can direct them to the actual core instead of the virtual core.
quote: I'm sure that you'd agree that only using a single core efficiently instead of splitting the work between 2 cores kind of defeats the purpose of dual (or more significantly quad) core chips.
quote: Ht is useful. Anybody who is computer science in knows that processor parallelism has always been the best road to take when developing a computer

Split plate charge $2; $2 charge for extra lean brisket or pastrami, 50-cent up-charge for take-out. Meats and salads sold by weight. Bakery and creamery.
On the list is an authentic delicatessen.
My search began for schmears, seltzer, schmaltz and steamed corned beef and smoked pastrami.
What I found, however, was that, not just in the Lowcountry but around the borscht belts of the United States, delis and good rye bread were becoming as scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth.
Many are closing, unable to compete as deli departments flourish in supermarkets and the American appetite has been transformed by fast-food sandwich shops and processed meats.
Delis have come a long way from 19th-century pushcarts to temples of towering sandwiches and the collective taste memories of Eastern Europeans and the Jewish immigrants who brought their food roots for German frankfurters, Romanian pastrami and Russian blintzes to these shores.
So when the Charleston Bakery & Delicatessen in West Ashley announced it was moving to Summerville to expand its operations of challah bread, those braided loaves of "air, earth and water"; authentic rye bread; steamed corned beef made from brisket; house-cured and hand-cut lox; and matzo balls made with schmaltz (chicken fat) and two-cents plain (seltzer), I knew I needed to schlep to Summerville and do what any good fresser would do: Check them out.
The L-shaped dining room surrounds an open industrial kitchen and, in true deli fashion, display cases provide a window on the deli world as you look over salads of macaroni, coleslaw and cucumber.
Quiches ($8.95) and tomato pies ($8.95) are flush with ingredients and are served with a side of "wild salad" ($7.50). Freshly made salads of roasted chicken ($8.95) or shrimp ($9.95) bear witness to the homemade touch.
The bakery case tempts with individual Bundt-shaped cakes of rum and coconut rum; cheesecakes on steroids, Key lime meringue tarts, chocolate eclairs, cookies, chocolate-covered marshmallows, croissant, bagels and more.
Late this spring, a creamery was added. The deli is offering the "frrrozen hot chocolate" ($4-$5.50) along with the regular version ($4-$5.50) from Serendipity 3, a New York institution.
A menu of sundaes, banana splits, ice-cream cones and more will expand the sweet offerings in time for summer.
Old-timey sodas (Nehi, SunSpot, Cheerwine) are iced up on the side, and the quintessential deli favorite Dr. Brown's product line is available as well.
Halvah is not mounded on the counter to be cut to order, but those who have a sweet spot for this sesame and simple syrup 13th-century confection can purchase it by the bar. It is made by the Joyva Corp.
Charleston Bakery & Delicatessen is a scratch-cooking kind of place. The matzo ball soup ($4.25; $4.75 if you want chicken noodle and matzo ball) is filled with hand-stripped pieces of chicken, onions, carrots and celery, and a golden orb of matzo meal lightened with pure chicken fat and the effervescence of seltzer water. It is brightened with fresh dill and parsley.
Salads are also marked by fresh ingredients. The macaroni salad uses a fusilli pasta in place of the elbow macaroni, but the red and green peppers, celery, red onion and carrot shreds carry the flavors of this classic.
The coleslaw is equally balanced with red and green cabbage and shreds of carrots lending sweetness to the mix.
The rye bread for the sandwiches is the best I have had in the Lowcountry. It has a crisp crust with the slightly sour flavor of rye with caraway. The sandwiches are stacked 3 inches tall and can be ordered "Carnegie" style for $18.50: Just think "super-size me."
The corned beef brisket ($10.50-$18.50) and spice-rubbed and smoked pastrami $10.50-$18.50) earn high marks for their fat-to-lean ratio. They were out of beef brisket served with au jus and horseradish.
Sandwiches can be topped with coleslaw and Russian dressing and made into Reubens and Rachels ($10.95)
Not content with Hebrew National brand hot dogs, Charleston Bakery & Delicatessen "imports" Koegel hot dogs: all-beef, natural casing, no fillers, no preservatives. It is served on a split-top roll, and if "snap" defines your frankfurter experience, this pup will not disappoint. Have it through the garden: Chicago style ($4.75) or topped with the deli's house-made black bean chili ($4).
They cover Israeli street foods with a gyro ($7.95), celebrate the Lowcountry with tomato pie ($8.95) and a McClellanville shrimp roll ($7.95), and roast both turkey breast and beef for other dining options.
On this trip, the culinary GPS rang true. If you have the need to nosh, if your bubbe's tongue sandwich ($10.50) is speaking to you or you are craving the brisket cuts of deli classic meats, the Charleston Bakery & Delicatessen has your number.
