Resolution FAQ - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 05/14/2013 - I'm still focused on meeting my goal of doing a pull-up. And I'm almost there! But I'm always getting this question:
It's a new twist on the all-too-common convenience store robbery.
Colorado Springs police responded to yet another of those robberies late Sunday night, at the 7-Eleven at Briargate and Union--but this time, they think the robbery may have been faked.
According to responding officers, the clerk told police a man entered just before midnight and approached the counter, demanding cash. After handing money over, the employee told police, the crook shoved him to the ground and knocked him unconscious.
But when the alleged victim was taken to the hospital, medical staff were unable to find any injuries. The investigation began raising questions; police say the clerk's story was not matching any of the evidence that officers were uncovering.
After interrogating the employee, police determined that he was the one who committed the theft, and not a random suspect. Officers tell 11 News the employee took $4,700 in gift cards and cash, then crafted the fake report to draw attention away from himself.
The employee, identified as 19-year-old Tyler Klein, has been charged with theft and false reporting to authorities.

What are the names of Michael Jackson's children?
After a DNA test in the course of establishing that her ex was the father of her children, it was found that the DNA showed him to be the father - but not that she was the mother. The birth of her next child soon after was carefully observed, and DNA tests performed. The results were the same - the DNA test said she wasn't the mother! Who was this, and how could this be?

First Family of Canadian Flight
Read more on Vintage News at: http://www.vintagewings.ca/page?a=1677&lang=en-CA
This past Canada Day, as many Canadians do, some members of one particular Canadian family gathered in Ottawa to have some fun and get their photograph taken as a memento of the day. The Hadfields of Milton, Ontario are in most respects like any other Canadian family out for a flag waving afternoon of fun. But that's where the similarities end.
The Hadfields have one common thread that binds them together – they love to fly. Patriarch Roger Hadfield began flying, amongst other aircraft, B-17s for Kenting Aviation and ended his professional career with 25,000 hours as a Captain with Air Canada. Roger and his wife Eleanor passed on to their children many traits: height, dark brown hair, a love for music, work ethic, a sense of adventure and a passion for flight.
His sons Phil and Dave followed in their father's footsteps and are Air Canada Captains today – Phil on the Boeing 767 and Dave on the Airbus A330. Both have thousands of hours in the air. A third son Chris went the military route to follow his dream of being an astronaut. He flew CF-18s, became a test pilot and continues his career today as Canada's senior astronaut. Dave's son Austin is also a professional pilot flying Beech 1900s out of Thunder Bay, Ontario and his wife Robin is a private pilot as well.

Stylize The Look. The Life.
Calling All Curly Haired Girls! by Roffi Salon
The New Year is here and time to tame those out of control locks. Ouidad is here to help you create luxurious, shiny and manageable curls. Susanne Palmacci is a Certified Quidad Hair Cutter at Roffi Salon and Day Spa in Boston and was trained at the Quidad flagship salon in New York City. She had participated in Ouidad workshops in Orlando, New York City and Boston.
The Ouidad method of cutting curly hair is unique and is specialized for curly hair only. Their method of "carving and slicing the hair" specifically creates a shape for your individual needs. During your consultation, the hair is first analyzed to determine which Ouidad product line would best suit your needs. The use of these products goes hand in hand with the haircut and the final results of your hair's overall condition.
As the consultation continues, an overall length is determined; then with the help of your certified Quidad hair cutter the areas of the hair that need to be "debulked" to reduce the volume are determined and also where the slicing of the outer layers will be done to eliminate the "triangular" look and create a shape. After that, a Water Works Clarifying Shampoo is given and then the specific shampoo and conditioner recommended for your hair is used.
Once the cut is finished, the famous "Rake and Shake" method of distributing the Ouidad gel finishing product is applied. All of the Quidad product lines are water soluble and leave the hair shiny, defined, manageable and "frizz free" without any heaviness. The Climate Control line is great for coarse, thick curls; the Playcurl line is fantastic for fine hair and some new products such as Define and Shine combines gel and cream to deliver all the control with a slightly softer end result.
Feel free to call for a consultation to help you decide which product line will work for you and how we can get you started on having healthy and happy curly hair.

ASU has won 68 games in the last three seasons, and a big part of its success has to be credited to senior guard Ty Abbott, who averaged 14.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in Pac-10 play last year, and was named to the All-Pac-10 first team. Abbott has had some knee problems in the past, but he has been a force for the Sun Devils when healthy. ASU fans have high expectations for the senior this year, and that doesn't seem to bother him one bit.
See what the senior guard had to say about the upcoming season at ASU basketball media day.

Whenever people are getting engaged, they like to throw a little celebration for their family and closer friends, in order to properly announce the future wedding events. These parties require that you bring a nice engagement present for the lovely couple about to embark on the journey of forming a new family. It may be somewhat difficult or tricky for many people to get an engagement present, due to the fact that this is no ordinary gift. It is actually something that should have a much greater importance and should be good for two people.
The perfect engagement present should follow a few guidelines. First of all, shop for something that is suitable for both people, for a man and a woman, who have different tastes. This may sound hard to find, but in fact is very easy. Just look for a general, neutral item as the engagement present. In addition to this, consider that this moment symbolizes the beginning of a new family. The couple will probably move in together, if they have not done this already, which means that they will surely need house supplies. You can help and encourage them to start their new life by purchasing household items, like kitchen supplies, dishes, electrical appliances or a beautiful decorative object. The engagement present will be much more appreciated if it is not only amazing, but also useful. Another thing to consider when buying an engagement present is looking for items that are somehow connected to the idea of love and family. A great symbolical engagement present will be forever appreciated and liked if it shows that they are a lovely couple, about to begin a new life.
In conclusion, shopping for the best engagement present for the lovely couple is not actually as difficult as you may think. If you consider all the necessary factors, as recommended above, you will buy the perfect item in honor of the new love union, helping and encouraging them to start this special journey in life.

Rotorua ready to host leading NZ business tourism expo
[Mon 28/03/2011 02:45:02]
Rotorua, has announced their excitment to host the country's premier business tourism expo, Meetings 2011, for the first time ever, in June 2012. "We're so excited,'' says Rotorua Convention Bureau manager, Denise Siviter. "It's a great opportunity for us to showcase this exciting part of New Zealand to the decision-makers in the business tourism industry and to prove we are the ideal destination for conferences and incentives.'' Meetings 2011 was originally due to be held in Christchurch but it has been shifted to Rotorua because of last month's damaging earthquake. The expo will now be held at the Rotorua Energy Events Centre on June 22 and 23. Conventions and Incentives New Zealand chief executive Alan Trotter says he is delighted Rotorua has agreed to host the expo and is confident they will do a fantastic job. "This is a great chance for Rotorua to show just how far it has evolved as a business tourism destination. It has superb facilities for conferencing, a fantastic array of accommodation, and many unique attractions and activities so it has loads to offer corporate groups and conference organisers. "Direct flights between Rotorua and Australia means it is also easily accessible to the Australian and international markets,'' Trotter says. Brett Jeffery, sales and marketing manager for Rotorua's Energy Events Centre, says he is looking forward to giving conference organisers a first-hand look at the facility, which at 8255sq m is one of the largest convention centres in New Zealand. "The convention centre is one of the reasons our destination was selected to host Meetings in place of Christchurch. It's a fantastic facility and at the heart of the amazing business tourism infrastructure we have here in Rotorua,'' Jeffery says. "We very much look forward to hosting this event." And Christchurch will certainly not be forgotten during Meetings, Alan Trotter says. "The gala dinner will have a Canterbury theme and a fundraiser will be held around the evening with the proceeds going to Christchurch's earthquake recovery. " MEETINGS 2010 is now in its 15th year and has been voted the best convention industry trade show in Australia and New Zealand. Applications for hosted buyer places at MEETINGS 2011 are now open on-line by clicking here.

Spell-checking in posts?
As I'm typing new posts, I notice that some of my words get underlined in red. I assume I'm being warned that that word might not be spelled correctly. Yet I don't see any way to spell-check what I'm writing. Help!

The forum its self does not have any built-in spell checker.
That would be your browsers built-in spell checker adding the red underlines. Try right clicking on the word with the underline and you should (At least with Firefox) see a selection of alternative words which it thinks you could mean. A bit more info, if you're using Firefox. |

Google Chrome has an additional spell checker built in also.
To correct the word, simply right click and click the chosen word. A bit like in Microsoft Word etc. Hope this helps, James |

Dollars, cents and the burden of the student-athlete
I've been around college football for nearly 20 years, as a player, broadcaster and now an analyst. I believe college football players at revenue-generating institutions are being exploited. They're a worker pool that generates billions of dollars in big-business revenues and get relatively little, by comparison, for their efforts.
Cornhusker football is a big business. (US Presswire) |
We do, however, need a frank understanding of the gross imbalance in what football players at major college institutions give in comparison to what they really get in return.
The common view is for a showdown every Saturday college players are given a scholarship, three squares, some glitzy digs in a fashionable setting and you have happy campers working for the cause. Don't get me wrong. The value of a college education is tens of thousands of dollars each year. College football teaches young men important lessons. For a lot of these kids, especially minorities, it's the only ticket they have to an education.
Even so, college football players at major football programs fall into a special category.
Student athletes are in effect holding down two jobs, while getting hammered on the practice field and gameday. Trust me, the chance of injury is 100 percent. You can be scarred for life.
Then there's the classroom. Athletes take a full load. Add in class attendance and studying, and you're talking about at least 40 hours per week. And, the idea that the majority are taking watered-down courses in order to maintain minimum eligibility standards is a myth. This isn't any cakewalk, folks.
Some of you work in factories and offices under tough physical and emotional conditions and still go to night school for a better education. So you know what I'm talking about.
Fan and media treatment of football players also is a double standard.
Don McPherson was an All American track and football star at Syracuse. Today he heads the Institute of Sports in Society at Adelphi University. For the past 18 years he has worked in communities to help young men and women overcome behavior that leads to broken homes and even prison. He spends much of his time working with student athletes and says the public tends to associate bad behavior with student athletes.
"Why people think college athletes are immune to the same temptations and other pressures I have no idea," McPherson said. "When a journalism student writes some scurrilous piece, the journalism department and professors aren't called on the carpet. If chemistry students cook up an exploding toilet, a la Animal House, or some other off-the-wall prank, does the department get a hit? You have got to be kidding.
"But if a student-athlete is involved in some incident, no matter how serious or trivial, the media is full of indictments of athletes, athletics and coaches. Suddenly the head coach is accused of 'not controlling' his program. The cure is to punish the entire squad as well as the individual players, as if we're talking about a platoon in the Marine Corps, Army boot camp or a herd of buffalo," McPherson said.
The issue here is what are the benefits created by major revenue-producing college programs? Think about the Nike Swoosh or even Gatorade being dumped on the heads of winning coaches. Think about the hundreds of millions of dollars (billions collectively) the media pays for television rights. Then there is a treasure trove of money for academics and communities.

The China Syndrome |
Written by Phil Zarrow | |||
Saturday, 31 May 2008 19:00 | |||
Mere mention of it can set people off, but there's reason to be wary.In my April column, I endeavored to discuss one of the causes of black pad on ENIG-finished PCB substrates. I must emphasize that I mentioned a substandard (and, hence, inadequate) layer of gold over the uneven and unsolderable nickel layer is one of the causes. As some of the chemistry gurus were quick to point out [Letters, page 4], there are many chemical-related aspects behind the problem – enough so one could write a book (as opposed to a mere column). While my experience with the problem relates to the metallurgical aspect, I leave it by noting both sides are correct, and we all agree a root cause is a lack of control of the plating processes.One reader took umbrage at my mention of substandard gold deposits – the so-called "finger on the scale" approach by fabricators. The line in question was, "Sadly, this is particularly true (though not exclusively) with PCBs coming from China." I followed that by urging "strong Certificates of Compliance coupled with batch testing of incoming PCBs to keep them honest. This is always a best practice." These best practices apply to any supplier, but, having specifically cited China, this reader took vehement offense. This raises a larger point. It's clear investment in bare-board facilities in Southeast Asia during the past decade has been both significant and unprecedented. Nevertheless, there is clear evidence of shenanigans. Did you know, for example, the vast majority of counterfeit components originates in China?1 Or that in one brazen case, there was a complete knockoff of NEC – including some 50 products.2 When, for instance, a customer orders bronze fittings and receives steel painted gold to make them appear bronze, that's a problem. Suffice it to say, one of the biggest problems facing those doing business with China is the supply chain. Add to that the – bad pun alert – wanton disrespect for the sanctity of intellectual property, and it adds up to severe challenges for those who do business in the emerging giant. These are key reasons why quite a few companies, including the largest EMS firms, are looking for alternative sites for manufacturing. Before you shower me with hate mail, understand I'm not taking the proverbial moral high ground here. There have been ongoing and consistent problems with PCBs fabricated elsewhere, including North America. But the sheer volume of material coming out of China makes it conspicuous. China has come a long way very rapidly, and with that comes growing pains. By comparison, those of us who grew up in the 50s and early 60s will recall the terrible quality of Japanese products. Today, Japan can look back on a long reputation for quality when it comes to consumer electronics, automobiles and optics. (Some of its electronics manufacturing equipment is really damn good, too.) Likewise, we were wary of quality from Southeast Asia – Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines – but that has pretty much passed, and there is no stigma with goods manufactured there. In fact, manufacturers are migrating from China to Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand, as well as Mexico. Returning for the moment to fabrication, Taiwan, once known for dubious quality, is believed by many to produce the highest quality PWBs in the world. Years ago, I stopped by an auto wreck yard in search of parts for one of my projects. One of the sights I beheld was a row of Hyundais. Not all of them were actually wrecked, just broken or rusted and thrown away. Now Hyundai has a better warranty than BMW, evidence of how far Korea has come. China has transformed from inward-looking Maoist communism to one of the major players in the world market. The nation has evolved from companies with names like "Peoples Radio Factory No. 22" to become home to all the top-tier EMS firms (at least for now). A few years ago, I was troubleshooting at a major Taiwanese ODM facility in Shenzhen, which built the company's own branded PC, along with those of a major Japanese and American OEM, respectively. Each line was comprised of a DEK Galaxy fully automatic printer, feeding into three Fuji CP-8s and a Universal GSM-2, followed by a Heller reflow oven, which fed into a manual component "stuffing" line, and finally, a Vitronics-Soltec wave solder machine. There were 100 of these lines. It was astounding. I lived through the heyday of the big OEMs – Motorola, IBM, H-P, AT&T – and never saw a facility this immense. And the capacity was scheduled to double within the next year. Cheap labor does not a permanent manufacturing paradise make. With its built-in mega-market, the byproduct of its mega-population, China will prevail as a manufacturing power. Supply chain, IP and the inherent language differences will be dealt with. This is not the forum to discuss China's political machinations. Taken together, however, China is in line to gain another, non-coveted title: the country everyone loves to hate. Remember, though, we're all in this together. References

Doctor Who makes triumphant regeneration as 10.5m tune in to new series
LONDON – The long-awaited return of 'Doctor Who' on BBC One pulled in 10.5m viewers, representing a 44.3% share on Saturday night, leaving ITV1's 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' with 8.5m viewers, or a 35% share.
The new 'Doctor Who', starring Christopher Eccleston as the Time Lord and Billie Piper as his assistant Rose, averaged 9.9m viewers while Ant and Dec, featuring England captain David Beckham as a special guest, attracted only an average of 7.2m in comparison.
It remains to be seen whether the series, scripted by Russell T Davies, will pull in similar audiences over its 13-week run because some commentators have been sceptical about the initial 10m overnight figure, saying that many might have just wanted to see what all the hype surrounding the series was about.
However, if the critics are anything to go by, it could remain a winner. The Scotsman described Eccleston as "the most engaging Doctor Who there has been to date" and Tim Davies, writing in The Guardian, said he was "hooked from the outset", despite never having been a fan.
Former 'Doctor Who' actor Sylvester McCoy was impressed with the corporation's latest incarnation and told BBC News website he was "captivated by the partnership" between Eccleston and Piper.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes had expected 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' to beat 'Doctor Who' in the ratings with odds of 1/2 and 6/4 respectively.
On Thursday, the corporation announced that the leak of episode one of the new 'Doctor Who' series on to the internet had been traced to a staff member of a third-party company in Canada and the person responsible had been sacked.
If you have an opinion on this or any other issue raised on Brand Republic join the debate in the Forum.

Carolina signs Patrick O'Sullivan | Tweet |
Written by Jeff Angus | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:26 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fantasy Impact: The Hurricanes have signed winger Patrick O'Sullivan to a one-year, two-way contract. He was a member of the organization for about five minutes during the 2008 trade deadline. Carolina moved Justin Williams to Los Angeles for him, but then he was quickly flipped to the Oilers for Erik Cole. The Hurricanes get: A skilled, but soft and inconsistent winger. O'Sullivan had a breakout offensive campaign with the Kings back in 2007-08, scoring 22 goals and adding 31 assists. Since that point, though, he has struggled to produce. He scored only 11 times with the Oilers last season, and was promptly bought out this past summer (after being traded to the Coyotes first). He was a star in the OHL, and it was easy to see why after watching him only once. He skates very well, he sees the ice like a star, and he possesses phenomenal hands. However, he seems unwilling or unable to compete at the level required to be a positive factor at the NHL level. He is a smart player but doesn't go to the tough areas on the ice, and he has been called out numerous times for bailing out of plays to avoid a hit (one of the biggest no-no's a player can commit in the game of hockey). Fantasy Players Impacted: A two-way deal promises him nothing, but the Hurricanes have a number of forward spots open this year. After Jokinen, there are no sure things for the top two lines. Veterans like Erik Cole and Sergei Samsonov have a leg up because of their one-way contracts, but the Hurricanes appear committed to a youth movement. O'Sullivan will be battling the likes of Jeff Skinner, Drayson Bowman, Jerome Samson, Pat Dwyer, Zach Boychuk, and Zac Dalpe for a roster spot. O'Sullivan could even slide to center behind Eric Staal and Brandon Sutter. Center is his natural position and he is a pretty decent defensive forward when he commits himself. This may hurt the short-term value of Riley Nash. This is a classic low-risk, high-reward signing. Worst case is O'Sullivan plays exactly like he did last season, and ends up riding the bus in the AHL all season. O'Sullivan grew up in North Carolina, and he had a troubled childhood with an abusive father (read Gare Joyce's book on the issue – O'Sullivan's dad was/is a legitimate psychopath). However, it sounds like his father has moved out of the area. Fantasy Players this helps, in order: 1. O'Sullivan Fantasy Players this hurts, in order: 1. Nash 2. Dalpe 3. Skinner 4. Bowman If O'Sullivan makes the team... the lines could be as follows (bear with me, Carolina's lineup is arguably the hardest to put together right now): Jokinen-Staal-Ruutu Boychuk-Sutter-Cole (Boychuk and Sutter have played together and clicked in the past) Samsonov-O'Sullivan-LaRose Write comment

Before Discussing Specific Library Research Tools ...
... Why Bother? Why Not Just Do A Quick Google Search?
For many students, good reasons exist, of course, for using the publicly available web as a means of locating resources for reports, research papers and other projects.
These reasons include the following:
- It's fast and easy; You can usually find something helpful; Many times, there are things easily available on the web that are not easily available elsewhere (for example, data sheets, product specifications, prices, and patents). There are excellent resources on the web, including some scholarly publications. The United States Government also publishes a great deal of material on the Web. There are also many trade journals and magazines available freely on the Web (advertising pays the bill for this). Information is delivered electronically so it can be reused and manipulated easily;
- It minimizes dependence on libraries (see John Lubans, Jr., Fall 2002, "Act or React? Leadership and the Internet," Library Administration & Management Vol. 16(4), pp. 208-210).
As a general rule of thumb -- most of your written work here at MSOE should be supported with creditable resources that are generally uncovered in library research, but that may also show up on the Web. Therefore, use a combination of library research and the Web. This combination of web and library research should help to make possible the creation of a professional, well-documented project report.
It is true that design projects do not necessarily entail publication in one of the professional journals, but keep in mind also that you may find yourself eventually publishing an article in the professional literature. As a matter of fact, the primary author in an article published in the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering below is an MSOE graduate!
Vol. 49, No. 9, September 2002 |
In continuing to think about why it's important not to limit your supporting research to a quick search on Google, consider the following points.
The Web clearly can be very useful in research, but it is necessary to understand how to use it; it's also necessary to understand what is on the Web and -- more importantly -- what isn't on the Web. In order to do this, you need to know a few basic things about the Web.

Apple iPad 2 Preview

- iPad 2
I remember the speculation that lead up to Apple's iPad launch. The list of things everyone expected the device to do was absurd, and the theories on the architecture behind Apple's first branded SoC was just as fantastic. The simplest answer is sometimes the right one and as Ars Technica's Jon Stokes pointed out, the A4 was nothing more than a hardened ARM Cortex A8 core running at 1GHz in the iPad (and 800MHz in the iPhone 4).
The Cortex A8 is something we've covered extensively here so I won't go into great detail right now. It's a dual-issue, in-order architecture with a 13 stage integer pipeline and a non-pipelined FPU.
When Apple announced the iPad 2, it also briefly announced the A5 SoC. The only detail given? The A5 is a dual-core processor with a GPU that's 9x faster than what's in the A4.
There are only two recent ARM architectures that have multicore support: the ARM11 and the ARM Cortex A9. The A8 doesn't come in a multicore variant. Given how many other SoC vendors are shipping dual-core Cortex A9 SoCs, the A5 was likely no different than NVIDIA's Tegra 2, TI's OMAP 4 or Samsung's Exynos in that regard: armed with a pair of Cortex A9s running at 1GHz. Update: Geekbench reports clock speed at 900MHz. Update 2: Apple confirms 1GHz clock speed on the iPad 2 specs page.
Architecture Comparison | |||||||
ARM11 | ARM Cortex A8 | ARM Cortex A9 | Qualcomm Scorpion | ||||
Issue Width | single-issue | dual-issue | dual-issue | dual-issue | |||
Pipeline Depth | 8 stages | 13 stages | 9 stages | 13 stages | |||
Out of Order Execution | N | N | Y | Partial | |||
FPU | Optional VFPv2 (not-pipelined) | VFPv3 (not-pipelined) | Optional VFPv3-D16 (pipelined) | VFPv3 (pipelined) | |||
NEON | N/A | Y (64-bit wide) | Optional MPE (64-bit wide) | Y (128-bit wide) | |||
Process Technology | 90nm | 65nm/45nm | 40nm | 40nm | |||
Typical Clock Speeds | 412MHz | 600MHz/1GHz | 1GHz | 1GHz |
The Cortex A9 is similar to the A8 but with an out-of-order execution engine and a shallower pipeline (9 stages). The result is better-than-A8 performance at the same clock speed. The A9 also adds a fully pipelined FPU.
Now it's unclear what the rest of the A5 SoC looks like, but from the CPU standpoint I think it's safe to say that there are a pair of ARM Cortex A9s in there. We can look at the increase in Geekbench Floating Point scores for some proof:
Geekbench 2 - Floating Point Performance | ||||
Apple iPad | Apple iPad 2 | |||
Overall FP Score | 456 | 915 | ||
Mandlebrot (single-threaded) | 79.5 Mflops | 279.1 Mflops | ||
Mandlebrot (multi-threaded) | 79.4 Mflops | 554.7 Mflops | ||
Dot Product (single-threaded) | 245.7 Mflops | 221.7 Mflops | ||
Dot Product (multi-threaded) | 247.2 Mflops | 436.8 Mflops | ||
LU Decomposition (single-threaded) | 54.5 Mflops | 205.4 Mflops | ||
LU Decomposition (multi-threaded) | 54.8 Mflops | 421.6 Mflops | ||
Primality Test (single-threaded) | 71.2 Mflops | 177.8 Mflops | ||
Primality Test (multi-threaded) | 69.3 Mflops | 318.1 Mflops | ||
Sharpen Image (single-threaded) | 1.51 Mpixels/s | 1.68 Mpixels/s | ||
Sharpen Image (multi-threaded) | 1.51 Mpixels/s | 3.34 Mpixels/s | ||
Blur Image (single-threaded) | 760.2 Kpixels/s | 665.5 Kpixels/s | ||
Blur Image (multi-threaded) | 753.2 Kpixels/s | 1.32 Mpixels/s |
Single threaded FPU performance is multiples of what we saw with the original iPad. This sort of an improvement in single-core performance is likely due to the pipelined Cortex A9 FPU. Looking at Linpack we see the same sort of huge improvement:
Whether this performance advantage matters is another matter entirely. Although there aren't many FP intensive iPad apps available today, moving to the A5 is all about enabling developers - not playing catch up to software.
Memory size, bandwidth and operating frequencies are all unknowns that I was hoping to find out more about once I put hands on the iPad 2. Geekbench reports the iPad 2 at 512MB of memory, double the original iPad's 256MB. Remember that Apple has to deal with lower profit margins than it'd like with the iPad, but it refuses to cut corners on screen quality so something else has to give.
L2 cache size has also apparently increased from 512KB to 1MB. The L2 cache is shared among both cores and 1MB seems to be the sweet spot this generation.
Geekbench 2 - Memory Performance | ||||
Apple iPad | Apple iPad 2 | |||
Overall Memory Score | 644 | 787 | ||
Read Sequential (single-threaded scalar) | 340.6 MB/s | 334.2 MB/s | ||
Write Sequential (single-threaded scalar) | 842.4 MB/s | 1.07 GB/s | ||
Stdlib Allocate (single-threaded scalar) | 1.74 Mallocs/s | 1.86 Mallocs/s | ||
Stdlib Write (single-threaded scalar) | 1.20 GB/s | 2.30 GB/s | ||
Stdlib Copy (single-threaded scalar) | 740.6 MB/s | 522.0 MB/s |
Geekbench's memory tests show an improvement in effective bandwidth as well. The biggest improvement is in the stdlib write test which shows a near doubling of bandwidth from 1.2GB/s to 2.3GB/s. Unfortunately this isn't enough data to draw conclusions about bus width or DRAM operating frequency. Given the increases in CPU and GPU performance, an increase in memory bandwidth to go along with the two isn't surprising.
Geekbench shows a healthy increase in integer performance, both in single and multithreaded scenarios. The multithreaded advantage makes sense (two are better than one), but the lead in single threaded tests shows the benefit the A9 can deliver thanks to its shorter pipeline and ability to reorder instructions around stalls.
Geekbench 2 - Integer Performance | ||||
Apple iPad | Apple iPad 2 | |||
Overall FP Score | 365 | 688 | ||
Blowfish (single-threaded) | 13.9 MB/s | 13.2 MB/s | ||
Blowfish (multi-threaded) | 14.3 MB/s | 26.1 MB/s | ||
Text Compression (single-threaded) | 1.23 MB/s | 1.50 MB/s | ||
Text Compression (multi-threaded) | 1.20 MB/s | 2.82 MB/s | ||
Text Decompression (single-threaded) | 1.11 MB/s | 2.09 MB/s | ||
Text Decompression (multi-threaded) | 1.08 MB/s | 3.28 MB/s | ||
Image Compress (single-threaded) | 3.36 Mpixels/s | 3.79 Mpixels/s | ||
Image Compress (multi-threaded) | 3.41 Mpixels/s | 7.51 Mpixels/s | ||
Image Decompress (single-threaded) | 6.02 Mpixels/s | 6.68 Mpixels/s | ||
Image Decompress (multi-threaded) | 5.98 Mpixels/s | 13.1 Mpixels/s | ||
Lua (single-threaded) | 172.1 Knodes/s | 273.4 Knodes/s | ||
Lua (multi-threaded) | 171.9 Knodes/s | 542.9 Knodes/s |
On average Geekbench shows a 31% increase in single threaded integer performance over the A4 in the original iPad. NVIDIA told me they saw a 20% increase in instructions executed per clock for the A9 vs. A8 and if we remove the one outlier (text decompression) that's about what we see here as well.
Geekbench 2 | |||||||
Overall | Integer | FP | Memory | Stream | |||
Apple iPad | 448 | 365 | 456 | 644 | 325 | ||
Apple iPad 2 | 750 | 688 | 915 | 787 | 324 |
The increases in integer performance and memory bandwidth are likely what will have the largest impact on your experience. The fact that we're seeing big gains in single as well as multi-threaded workloads means the performance improvement should be universal across all CPU-bound apps.
Apple improved the Safari JavaScript engine in iOS 4.3, which right off the bat helped the original iPad become more competitive in this test. Even with both pads running iOS 4.3, the iPad 2 is 80% faster than the original iPad here.
The Motorola Xoom we recently reviewed scored a few percent slower than the iPad 2 in SunSpider as well. Running different OSes and browsers, it's difficult to conclude much when comparing the A5 to Tegra 2.
The move from the A4 in the iPad 1 to the A5 in the iPad 2 boosts scores by 47%. More impressive however is just how much faster the Xoom is here. I suspect this has more to do with Google's software optimizations in the Honeycomb browser than hardware, but let's see how these tablets fare in our web page loading tests.
We debuted an early version of our 2011 web page loading tests in the Xoom review. Two things have changed since then: 1) iOS 4.3 came out, and 2) we changed our timing methods to produce more accurate results. It turns out that Honeycomb's browser was stopping our page load timer sooner than iOS', which resulted in some funny numbers when we got to the 4.3/Honeycomb comparison. To ensure accuracy we went back to timing by hand (each test was repeated at least 5 times and we present an average of the results). We also added two more pages to the test suite (Digg and Facebook).
The iPad 2 generally loads web pages faster than the Xoom. On average it's a ~20% increase in performance. I wouldn't say that the improvement is necessarily noticeable when surfing most sites, but it's definitely measurable.
The move to iOS 4.3 really narrowed the gap between the original iPad and the Xoom. In some cases the two actually render pages in the same amount of time, however that's typically for lighter pages that are easy to render. Up the complexity and the Xoom easily distances itself from the original iPad.
We'll touch on this more in the full review but it's not all about performance when talking about web browsing between the iPad 2 and the Xoom. Although the iPad 2 may have faster render times on average, the Xoom still supports tabbed browsing which definitely has its advantages.

If Apple iPAD 2, NVIDIA's Tegra 2, TI's OMAP 4 and Samsung's Exynos all use the same Dual Core ARM Cortex A9... why are there performance differences shown in your testing and benchmarks of these products? Reply -
StevoLincolnite - Saturday, March 12, 2011 - link
iPad uses iOS the others use variations of Android with who knows whats loaded in the background.
But the simple reason is different OS's provide different performance characteristics as they handle processes and memory loads differently. Reply -

Yep. All that hardware specs means nothing if your software can't utilize it. That much is clear even way back in the days. Reply -
vol7ron - Saturday, March 12, 2011 - link
It's not just due to the OS, it is also due to the other hardware coupled with the A9. For instance, more RAM means application data can be loaded quicker, rather than from the HD. The GPU and screen size/resolution also effect benchmarks - the amount of effect depends on the type of test.
Also the different hardware vendors may have modified some of the firmware instruction sets to make it more efficient.
But that's a big reason why these benchmarks are used, to have some sort of common ground that more accurately compares the different hardware/software combinations. Reply -

actually , it's more a case that most current Linux ARM app writers have apparently not learn the basic lessons from the old Linux PPC days, where apple dev's clearly and logicically used to optimise all their app's C routines and wrote macros with SIMD code use etc.
as can be clearly seen here for instance SIMD makes a massive speed difference ,as can be seen in just one sample routine from the x86
"x264: All tests passed Yeah :)
nop: 196
optimize_chroma_dc_c: 415
optimize_chroma_dc_sse2: 203
optimize_chroma_dc_ssse3: 200
optimize_chroma_dc_sse4: 190
optimize_chroma_dc_avx: 177
its not uncommon to see up to *18 times faster* speeds in SIMD than C routines for instance.
until today's ARM NEON dev's stop relying on their crappy auto vectorising GCC to get a boost and start looking at the actual output of the compiler to see it generate brain dead SIMD code in many cases, then write better SIMD code by hand for their most used C routines , most apple dev's will continue to beat Linux ARM dev's on speed and data throughput it seems
ARM NEON SIMD was a 2009 GSOC project for x264
checkasm --bench
from the x264 git should give you interesting result's on the ARM NEON capable SOC too, even if its missing lots of SIMD code right now. good for seeing the generic C routines speed's and compared on different ARM SOC for instance, try it and report back you're speeds .
this real life Benchmark test came from the old x264-dev logs if anyone's interested in the real life Number's.
and StippenG's number's came from an older Quad A9/NEON developer board at his Uni apparently, so a current Marvell ARM v7 A9 quad /SIMD at 1.6 GHz for instance plus any/all the higher clocked 1GHz dual core ARM cortex A9 would produce a better result today OC.
640x360 at Ultrafast: 38.59 seems like a very good real life start for encoding on ARM cortex even without those extra SIMD patches being written yet
"2010-08-24 15:39:19 StippenG Some X264 Benchmarks (Rush Hour 640x360,preset=medium, crf=24): 4-core Cortex-A9 @ 400 MHz gives 5.55 fps,Beagleboard (A8 @ 720MHz) gives 1,65. Really nice speedup, considering the much higher frequency of the A8
2010-08-24 15:39:56 Dark_Shikari It'd go a lot faster if you used a faster preset.
2010-08-24 15:40:01 Dark_Shikari Or if you wrote some of the asm we're missing
2010-08-24 15:40:26 Dark_Shikari But yeah, that scales surprisingly well. about 3.5x faster
2010-08-24 15:40:27 StippenG Yes. Superfast gives 22.07. Ultrafast: 38.59
2010-08-24 15:41:23 StippenG Guess the out-of-order execution and shorter pipeline is really quite a bit better for performance
2010-08-24 15:41:35 < Dark_Shikari> Well, the A9 is known to be a lot faster
finally , making the effort to actually port "yasm" to ARM NEON would be a very good thing if you care to try and improve speed there Reply -

We also don't know the clocks of the A5. Maybe it's not safe to assume it's running at 1.0ghz? Reply -
Anand Lal Shimpi - Saturday, March 12, 2011 - link
Er you're very right about that. Geekbench reports 900MHz :)
Take care,
Anand Reply -
tipoo - Saturday, March 12, 2011 - link
Its 1GHz. Geekbench reports the instantaneous speed, so you'll hear different numbers from that depending on what it ramps its speed down to to save power. Reply -
dagamer34 - Saturday, March 12, 2011 - link
It's all about the OS at that point, just like how iOS 4.3 gives 2.5x increase in Javascript performance compared to iOS 4.0 even using the same original iPad. Reply

The HR* (pronounced HR star) produces a beautiful warm sound with free-blowing ease. This Hard Rubber Saxophone Mouthpiece features a round, medium size chamber. The HR* is suited for Traditional Jazz, Big Band, Straight-Ahead and Bebop, but also has enough power for more modem styles. This is a favorite of band directors for its ability to blend in with a section.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I?m a professional sax player in Las Vegas and I?m writing to say how thrilled I am with my Jody Jazz HR7* tenor mouthpiece. I?ve been searching for years for a piece that would translate the sound I heard in my head to the real world. I?ve been through the whole list of tenor mouthpieces: Link, Lawton, Vandoren Jumbo Java, Berg, Meyer, and a gold plated Vandoren V16 (my wife almost fell over when she saw the $300 bill for that one). I was about to give up my search and put down the tenor for good until I tried the HR. I love the big, warm sound I get from the HR; round and full with just the right amount of edge and great projection. Depending on my ligature/reed set-up I can cover every gig with this one mouthpiece: straight-ahead jazz, R&B, rock, fusion. This piece makes playing tenor a joy again. What a great mouthpiece!
This mouthpiece is incredible! I tried out a couple of these pieces and was absolutely ready to buy the 7 until I played a used 9*. WOW! I play the 9* on a silver Rampone R1 Jazz with Brancher Jazz 3.5s, and it's got the smoothest most incredible response all the way up AND down! I had been having trouble with my low end on this horn, but I think the big open chamber was the ticket. I was very skeptical of a .125 tip, but it's really a great playing piece. Note: the altissimo is hard. Moving up in reeds will help.
I contacted Jody Espina directly thru his website to solicit his opinion on which of his pieces I should try in order to get a very controllable vintage jazz sound that retained body in the tone in order to play a better jazz ballad. I mentioned that I was using a friend's New York Meyer. He suggested I try on a trial basis the HR* 6 and the ESP 6. I thought the HR* 6 had a real nice tone. It was very warm with some bite at the edge of the sound. I thought it sounded a lot like the New York Meyer medium a friend was loaning me, but with very slightly more crispness. I would have no reservations whatsoever playing this piece on a jazz gig. My only reservation was that I needed to have a real stiff reed in there to get a subtone down to low C or so with my particular horn. The HR* 6 really sounded nice, and for the money, it's a steal, considering Jody plays every piece before it goes out. The only reason I didn't keep the HR* was because the ESP absolutely knocked me out, and I couldn't afford to keep both. For players looking for a New York Meyer-ish vintage sound without the price premium, this piece comes pretty darn close! I may go back and buy this one too for some versatility when finances improve a little. Its combination of edge and tone actually seemed to be *in between* the ESP 6's two sounds (with and without the ESP's spoiler inserted).
This is the mouthpiece that made me enjoy HR again. I bought one of these mouthpieces just on a whim. I normally play Otto Link stm 8* bought a jody jazz HR* 8*. I like this mouthpiece as a great tonal alternative to my metal, very well constructed, rails were even and thin with a nice sized window. I use a Vandoren trad #3-3 1\2 nice warm lush sound plenty volume, then Java or V16 reeds offer a nice bright, round tone with good edge. I can get a nice sub tone to a rippin Joe Henderson tone and many variations in between. This mouthpiece performs with a solid core all throughout the horn, Great low end, I had a problem with being a little thin above palm D and up -with a little time to get used to the mouthpiece I feel the tone is nice and even now, but the Altissimo is still not as easy as on my metal mouthpieces. Overall the mouthpiece offers a classic sound to my set up and (has) easily become one of my favorite mouthpieces. No wonder George Garzone is a endorses this mouthpiece.
I have been playing a lot of tenor the past year, and I have had a lot of difficulties in getting just an even tone from register to register. This mouthpiece solved all of those problems. I have used a Bari, Guardala, Links, and several others and this just gives me such a smooth even tone. Altissimo is great and in tune. I got the 8. I felt like it was the easiest to play and get a big dark sound. I use jazz select 3 med filed.

Lymphoma is one of the most common causes of death from cancer in the United States, and about 48,000 new cases of lymphoma are diagnosed every year. In lymphoma, cancer cells are found in the lymphatic system, which is comprised of the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, stomach, intestines and skin. Because lymph tissues are present in many parts of the body, lymphoma can start almost anywhere.Lymph Nodes
Cedars-Sinai ResourceCancer Institute |
Normal lymph nodes are tiny, bean-like structures that trap cells containing poisons and waste materials. They also serve as a reservoir of cells that supply microorganism-fighting antibodies. Tube-like vessels carrying milk-colored fluid called lymph connect lymph nodes to each other. Lymph allows white blood cells (lymphocytes) to circulate. When white blood cells multiply abnormally, they cause masses to form and lymph nodes become enlarged. Some lymphomas may affect the bone marrow and interfere with its making of blood cells. The result is anemia, or low red blood cell count.
Classification of Lymphomas
Lymphomas are graded as low, intermediate and high depending on the kind of lymphoma cells present and how they affect lymph nodes and chromosomes. Some lymphomas grow faster and require specific treatment. Classifying them is complex because many kinds of lymphocyte cells can be involved.
Low-Grade Lymphoma
These grow so slowly that patients can live for many years mostly without symptoms, although some may experience pain from an enlarged lymph gland. After five to 10 years, low-grade disorders begin to progress rapidly to become aggressive or high-grade and produce more severe symptoms.Intermediate-Grade Lymphoma
This type progresses fairly rapidly without treatment. With treatment, remission can be induced in between 50 to 75% of cases. Initial treatment has been so successful that people who stay in remission for three years after diagnosis are often considered cured. Stage I disorders are treated with radiotherapy.High-Grade Lymphoma
Without treatment, these can progress rapidly regardless of stage. They are treated aggressively. With treatment, between 50 to 75% of patients enter remission. Those who stay in remission one year can look forward to a life free from recurrence. Treatment consists of intensive combination chemotherapy, which is sometimes supplemented with radiation therapy. Drug regimens used are determined by a number of factors, the most important being tissue study.Types of Lymphomas
Based on the course of disease and the kind of lymphocytes affected, lymphomas are divided into two types: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Hodgkin's Disease
About 75% of those diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease recover fully. About 90% of all people diagnosed with early-stage illness and more than 50% of those with more advanced stage are now living longer than 10 years with no signs of the disease coming back. The stage of the disease at diagnosis is critical in planning treatments. Sometimes giving the patient aggressive chemotherapy and then introducing young cells from the bone marrow (bone marrow transplantation) may increase chances of the patient living longer. A bone marrow transplant should be considered for every patient whose disease comes back after undergoing chemotherapy.Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
In the last 10 years, this disease has become easier to treat as more procedures are found to be effective. Overall, 50 to 60% of patients with NHL now live five years or longer without a recurrence. While a number of factors determine the best treatment for these disorders, the most significant is tissue classification followed by determination of the disease's stage.Symptoms
In most cases, patients consult their doctors if they have painless swelling in the neck, armpits, groin or abdomen. Sometimes the swelling or the tumor occur in other organs, such as the skin or stomach (extranodal lymphoma) either as a first symptom or a sign appearing later in the disease. Like most cancers, lymphoma is best treated when found early. Symptoms are:
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of weight, nausea, vomiting, indigestion or pain in the abdomen
- A feeling of bloating
- Itching, bone pain, headaches, constant coughing and abnormal pressure and congestion in the face, neck and upper chest
- Fatigue and flu-like body aches
- Fatigue resulting from anemia
- Night sweats, recurring high-grade fever or constant low-grade fever
Causes and Risk Factors
The cause of lymphoma is still not known, but it is not considered hereditary. Most lymphomas occur between the ages of 40 and 70 years. Hodgkin's disease, considered the most curable form of lymphoma, often occurs in young adults or the elderly. Possible triggers for lymphoma include:
- Genetic factors
- Certain infections or environmental factors
- Exposure to herbicides and high doses of radiation (including aggressive radiation therapy)
- Certain viruses (human retroviruses like HTLV-1 and to some extent, the Epstein-Barr virus are also suspected)
- AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). These patients require specialized treatment.
- Abnormalities in the genetic materials called chromosomes and the body's immune response
- Although the disease has been reported in patients who live or work physically close to each other (clustering), no evidence exists that indicate the disease is infectious
In reaching a diagnosis of lymphoma, doctors may do the following:
- Take the patient's medical history
- Conduct a thorough physical examination to detect an enlarged lymph node, liver and/or spleen
- Order blood tests to check kidney and liver functioning
- Do a biopsy by removing a small amount of tissue from the suspected area and examining it to see the type of lymphoma present
Radiotherapy is the preferred treatment for patients with stage I or II lymphomas because it successfully induces long-term remissions and even cures in many cases. For treatment of stage III or IV low-grade disorders, one school of thought is to start intensive therapy right after diagnosis - whether a patient has symptoms or not - to achieve and maintain complete remission. Treatment usually consists of high-dose radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination of both. Intensive treatment involves risk, but recent studies suggest that such treatment may induce high rates of remission.
Bone marrow transplant is currently being studied as a treatment option for low-grade lymphoma.
