Impact of remittances on female headed households: Case of Kosovo
2013 - The objective of this study is to contribute to efforts aimed at maximizing the potential of remittances in Kosovo, through the integration of a gender perspective in the study of the flows, usage and socio-economic impact of remittances within recipient households and communities. The main aim is analyzing the gender dimensions of the sending, usage and impact of remittances. Specifically, this research seeks to increase knowledge and understanding through a gender analysis on: – The contribution of migrants to the development of Kosovo and the relevance of that contribution to female empowerment; – How the migration is affecting gender roles and decision making processes in households and community.

Feared by the Blues, Loved by the Reds, Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs…
Manchester United played Stoke City off the park on Saturday yet for 62 minutes they lacked the cutting edge to turn their superiority into goals.
Enter Ryan Giggs.
The veteran Welshman was introduced as a substitute for the often infuriating Nani after 57 minutes and took just five more to provide the pass from which Dimitar Berbatov broke the
He then teed up John O'Shea for United's second with a pinpoint free kick.
When Cristiano Ronaldo departed for Real Madrid, the spotlight turned on Nani and new recruit Antonio Valencia to fill his boots.
But Giggs, the club's record appearance maker, is proving that there is no substitute for class and know-how.
Gone are the days when his twinkle toes would leave defenders swinging at thin air, but the 35-year-old's value to Alex Ferguson's squad is still immeasurable.
Giggs appears to have an uncanny ability to read a football match, to unlock a defence with a simple pass. He made three of United's four goals against Manchester City last week and his two assists against Wigan Athletic helped his side go back to the top of the Premier League.
He could again be United's trump card this season as they try to win a fourth consecutive title and reclaim the Champions League and its no wonder that Ferguson has always treated him like a favourite son.
Few players in the history of the club have endured as long as Giggs and, treated carefully, there appears no reason why he cannot continue at the top level for another couple of seasons.
In the meantime, Nani and Valencia should look and learn and remember the old adage that football is essentially a simple game too often made complicated.

I still think United will continue to really miss Ronaldo though and Chelsea will scoop the title, transfer ban or not
"The boys a genius"
GIGGS is the best british footballer of all time
BUT even he is only human someone will need to cover him when hes rested and how the heck do u cover such a legend? NO ONE realises just how extraordinary he is. one day when the smoke clears and we all look back it will slowly dawn on us he was simply the best.
Mark, I hope you have to eat those words come end of season, GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!!! Well said Hermanato, class is permanent.

The hardback book is as well-designed and aesthetically pleasing as Apple's own products, so it will look good sitting on your shelf. The content is just as interesting, charting the rise of one of the great 20th Century entrepreneurs, who just happened to be an odd, rude, very smart man, all of which makes him the perfect subject for an-indepth biography. Interesting to see the pictures too.
A fair, balanced, well written and well structured book. Rarely has the world seen a company founder and CEO of such a large and successful company spanning the whole range from complete asshole to incredible genius. Were it not for SJ's vision you might still be looking at a text based screen with the C:\> in green or white color.
Forgetting the distasteful worshiping of everything Apple these days and SJ himself, he gave the world the first useful and popular personal computer, which in 1976 was an impossible dream, in effect launching the whole PC industry, changed the music industry forever, innovated one of the most incredible products ever with his masterpiece: the Iphone - rarely has a new product seen such a huge number of great inventions and improvements at once -, gave us the wonderful Pixar movies and lastly the Ipad which might prove as important as the Ipod. He deserves this great book as a lasting memory of a man who made many revolutions happen.

As America joined together as one to celebrate its 237th birthday, the sports world celebrated our Independence Day by providing us with ample entertainment. Although Homer Bailey's no-hitter didn't happen today, today's sports happenings were more than enough to follow up that phenomenal performance. From Hot Dogs to Free-agency, this has certainly been an action packed day. Here are some of the major stories from today.
After rumors were floating around that the Sixth Man of the Year was leaving the Knicks, it is a huge load off the shoulders of the Knicks management to know that they will keep J.R. on
the team. For a team that believes they are on the cusp of a championship, surrounding Carmelo Anthony with weapons is extremely important. Signing the New Jersey native to a four year, 24.7 million dollar deal has to be a huge accomplishment, and the Knicks hope that he can maintain or possibly improve on his 18.1 points per game. Although Smith has been criticized for his inconsistency and an absolute debacle in the postseason, the Knicks believe that Smith can turn his game around and is obviously worth the investment.
In a season where victories have been a little difficult to come by, the Mets were anticipating a win at home before heading out for a series in Milwaukee. It seemed that the Mets were meant to win after extra innings home runs by Anthony Recker and Kirk Nieuwenhuis, although they fell just short, unable to answer the Diamondbacks for a third time in a row and losing 5-4. However, if relief pitcher David Aardsma could have pitched any better than what he did, the Mets may have walked away with a victory. Aardsma came in to pitch in the 13th inning with high expectations, although his performance did not depict his hopes. After throwing 14 pitches, Aardsma managed to throw just 3 strikes (2 of which resulted in hits) and ended up walking in a run. Although Anthony Recker homered in the bottom of the inning to prolongue the game, the Mets failed to outlast the D-Backs (perhaps John Buck's 12th inning ejection for arguing balls and strikes had something to do with that).
One of the highly sought out restricted free agents will no longer be questioning where he will play next year. Sources who have insight on the trade have reported that the Kings will ship off Evans as a part of a three team trade with the Pelicans and Trail Blazers. Here is what each team will be getting as a result of the trade, which cannot become official until July 10th.

In possibly the greatest 10 minutes of every year, Joey Chestnut looked to defend his Mustard Belt as he attempted to yet again win Nathan's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest. The #1 ranked eater in the world had a field of competitors to go up against today, including fan favorite "Eater X" Tim Janus and Matt "Megatoad" Stonie, a rising star in Major League Eating (MLE).However, after George Shea's traditional introductions, which included Joey Chestnut being carried in on a chariot, the reigning champion got right to business. After just 5 minutes since the commencement of the contest, Joey Chestnut had already consumed 41 hot dogs and buns (HDB) Chestnut went on to eat 18 more HDB, and finished with a world record 69 HDB, defeating his old record of 68. However, the "Houdini of Cuisine" doesn't plan to stop just yet. His career goal is to eat 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes, a feat that has yet to occur in the history of MLE. Chestnut will have to wait until next year to pursue that goal, although he did make history today in another way. Only 3 minutes into the contest, Chestnut became the first eater ever to eclipse 400 career HDB eaten at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition. Could the now 7-time reigning champion be seeking his 500th career HDB next year? He's just 58 away…

Bureau's eGuardian system will enable the sharing of unclassified information among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered the Defense Department to use the FBI's eGuardian suspicious activity reporting system to record and track law-enforcement information about potential threats against the military or military installations.
Adoption of the eGuardian system, which is now deployed on a pilot basis, was one of the key recommendations of a review panel that looked at security on military installations in the wake of the Nov. 5, 2009, mass shootings at Fort Hood, Texas. The system is FBI-owned and will enable the sharing of unclassified information among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies.
At the time of the Fort Hood shootings, DOD was still searching for a replacement for the defunct Threat and Location Observation Notice reporting system, which was terminated in August 2007. One of the issues raised during the follow-up to the shootings is whether the military had done a sufficient job of evaluating any pre-shooting warning signs from the alleged shooter, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
Data will be entered into eGuardian only by authorized personnel trained in the federal guidelines and FBI procedures protecting civil liberties, Gates said, and data will be reviewed to ensure that information based solely on ethnicity, race or religion is not entered into the system.
Gates directed the department to establish a plan and issue policy and procedures for the implementation of the system no later than June 30.

I know a positive way in which this can be accomplished. Why not set up a training system for CLEARED new hirees to be employed specifically to track and investigate, then REPORT analysis(suspects) to authorities, somewhat like the FBI's "Report a Crime" /and "IC3 units" of the FBI; the system can be set up to be in line with existing "O.S." methods, but cleared appointees could be hired to conduct criminal (et alii)searches. CREATE JOBS! Training could be implemented through FBI channels/training; there are already problems that pre-exist in FBI hiring practices (too many "outsiders"), so I suggest a Joint-Task Force Board (civ/mil); you might also consider some of the EXISTING resumes for some of those who are already well-qualified for the position, especially adpet investigators/researchers who can "take classes/training" and increase certification to upgrade their current knowledge. To avoid "racial" complications, you can stipulate that applicants MUST HAVE BEN A US CITIZEN for the PAST 20 years, if over a certain age. For those under 30, requirements should be strictly set accordingly. I've turned in WAY too many cheaters in college, so please remember to address that. I would be willing to pay for training, as I am sure other qualified candidates would be. I am also willing to take a polygraph and background check, but I am still suspicious of the ignorance in the FBI these days, so this is why the dual agency/"JTF" was suggested.
Does the LNI's system allow for the near real time collaboration of threat information across approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies, bridge to the FBI's network of over 100 JTTFs of which most comprise multiple DoD staffers? Not sure you know what eG is really about. It's a great fit for force protection requirements within DoD. The LNI system and eG is like comparing apples and oranges...
One must wonder why this adoption by the military of a decidedly Law Enforcement approach to improve awareness of its surroundings made no mention of--and apparently has no plans for integration with--DoD's already highly successful "Library of National Intelligence" developed and implemented across the Defense Intelligence Agency. The LNI uses XML content created by DIA facilities worldwide, managing them in a central repository with full and highly nuanced search capability with sophisticated classification schemes. Moreover, because the LNI uses the highly flexible ICML XML structures for content, it is much better able to handle the often hazy and ambiguous nature of "suspicious activity." While SARS may have value in law enforcement circles, I believe DoD is making a mistake in its attempt to force-fit it to a very different environment when it already has a workable and proven answer in place with the LNI.

What is the Euroclear INTERBANK SCREEN? Anyone know?
You are clearly TAPED-IN!
What do you know about the Euroclear INTERBANK SCREEN?
Please see attached sanitized email from a person who got access to the Interbank Screen.
We would appreciate your historical information about it.
What inter-govt agencies run it?

2 comments:
Euroclear is a user owned and governed Belgium based financial services company that specializes in the settlement of securities transactions as well as the safekeeping and asset servicing of these securities. It was founded in 1968 as part of J.P. Morgan & Co. to settle trades on the then developing eurobond market.
Euroclear settles domestic and international securities transactions, covering bonds, equities, derivatives and investment funds. Euroclear provides securities services to financial institutions located in more than 90 countries.
In addition to its role as an International Central Securities Depository (ICSD), Euroclear also acts as the Central Securities Depository (CSD) for Belgian, Dutch, Finnish, French, Irish, Swedish and UK securities. Euroclear also owns EMXCo, the UK's leading provider of investment-fund order routing, and Xtrakter, owner of the TRAX trading matching and reporting system.
Euroclear is the largest international central securities depository in the world.
Certain Bank issued Instruments may be registered within Euroclear/DTCC, however these are normally registered within the Euroclear/DTCC Inter Bank Screen system - not the Euroclear or DTCC Securities system. The Screen based Inter Bank system is totally different to the Securities system.
These Instruments include Certificates of Deposit, Bank Guarantee etc. and even Cash Funds. They are normally issued "On Screen Only" – although there will also be various documents of title, held in safekeeping within the issuing institution.
Normal Instruments on the Euroclear Securities system are usually required to be committed by what is known as Free Delivery in accordance with the terms and conditions of the arrangements made for credit by the Investor and Trader. There are some alternatives to this.
Instruments within the Inter Bank Screen system are not usually dealt with on this basis but are normally required to be "blocked "on screen" in accordance with a set of special procedures that are not the same as those used inter bank for non screen based instruments.
In addition there are certain very specialized procedures required regarding some of these instruments and the assignment for credit that may cause problems before Traders are legally capable of accessing the screen, blocking the instruments for credit, creating credit, and trading.
Euroclear charges fees for its services, but these fees are not by themselves at all excessive. Bank Fees are normally higher.
Not all Traders like working with Euroclear Screen arrangements.
In particular there are significant difficulties with instruments within the Inter Bank Screen system primarily because of the technical issues that arise where in most cases the Beneficiary of the instrument very rarely created the instrument and usually rented or leased it from a master account holder and the procedures that are required to be carried out require the co-operation of all parties involved, including the master account holder, the beneficiary of the instrument and the bank and usually there are costs involved to be met and paid for, before the instrument is able to be used for credit purposes, assigned, committed and blocked for credit as well as administrative procedures. In addition there is the requirement for Traders to actually create third party credit on a different basis to other types of transactions.

A complete load of Gobledygook, if something can't be explained in a straight forward manner, then it needs to be treated with more than a degree of caution.
Anyone who needs to disguise what they mean in verbiage means they don't understand it themselves, or they are out to deceive, or both.
Regardless of the size of the Organisation, which doesn't mean a thing c.f. JP Morgan etc.
This is a Scam targeting the naive, who fancy their chances at investing. Once funds are paid in & transferred, they will disappear like "Peppers Ghost"
Limited knowledge in Finance, will leave you with Burnt Fingers. The Sharks will give you the Run Around,& you will end up wearing The Emperors Clothes. which you willingly bought from The Parasites Who call Themselves Banksters
Remember "BANK GUARANTEES AREN'T WORTH A WANK." They are not Securities, Are They?

Knicks Lose Ugly to Raptors… wtf
Final Score: Raptors 92, Knicks 88
Record: 32-18 (1st in Atlantic, 2nd in Eastern Conference)
Current Streak: Lost 2
This pretty much sums up how the game went: Melo shot 5-24.
What started out as somewhat promising with the defense, turned into one of the ugliest losses of the season.
The two losses to Houston were worse than this, but still… this one was pretty bad.
Ugh, just terrible. Alan Anderson was that guy that killed us, 26 points. Just add him to the list of no-name guys that have crazy games against the Knicks. I guess my key to a win before the game meant nothing.
Also, seriously Bernard King.. did you really say "mo-menamum" instead of momentum? hahaha, awesome.
Well, wtf… not the best way to head into the all-star break.
Not the best way at all.
Over/Under Game Result: No Winners.
- Melo 27 Points: Under (12)
- Gay 25 Points: Under (11)
- Lowry 8 Assists: Under (1)
- Felton 8 Assists: Under (5)
- Chandler 9 Rebounds: Push (9)
Damnit, so many chances to win this down the stretch .. but three missed layups in a row is not going to cut it.
KNOTEWORHTY KNICK OF THE GAME: JR Smith - 26 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist.

When Aphrodite punished Nemesis for stealing Eros' bow and arrow by shooting her with it, Pan interfered and the arrow ended up piercing them both. Now Pan and Nemesis are together and having a grand old time. But neither knows how the other truly feels and they dread the day the arrow's spell wears off.
The more familiar you are with mythology, the more you will understand and enjoy this story. The third in a series, it has a fine plot and good characterization. The sex is very explicit, and some readers may be put off by Pan, who is described as much like a human in size and looks, yet he still has hooves, horns and wooly legs. (dl $5.95)

Hey guys. I made friends with a fellow I recently met on public transportation. He's a nice person. He has been discussing a new build and wanted my input.Budget would be 800-1000 bucks.He does heavy audio recording work, he uses software studio stuff to record and mix music. The software he uses is mostly multithreaded, but I don't know the names.He wants a build with a 600-750 watt SMPS to support additional hardware growth. I told him that 500 is enough and he knows.He's interested in SSDs but it isn't on the top of his list.He is interested in overclocking but worries it could shorten lifespan of hardware.He will be running Win7 or 8, he hasn't decided which because Win8 is new and he has no exposure to it yet.He's build his own systems in the past, the most recent is a 1366 based system that he went all out on, he wants to pull back from spending so much this time.He knows he wants a discreet video controller, I don't think he is confident with the newer on CPU video solutions.He wants a mainboard with plenty of USB 3.0 and eSATA connectors.He wants to stick with ASUS as he knows and trusts them.Originally he wanted a laptop because the system will get moved around SOME. But upon thinking about not being able to build one and the hardware being weaker for the buck, he now wants to build a desktop.I told him that a 300 dollar processor is the max he should go with, all things considered. Am I correct?He wants at least an i5.I showed him the CM Store cases that are refurbished, he liked that quite a bit, but a case with a carry handle would delight him. I have such a case in my backup system, it was a refurb case FROM the CM Store. The CM Ammo case.I advised him to go with a WD Black or Red drive upon our discussions while riding transit. Upon consideration, he knows he doesn't want a 5400 RPM based drive or one with head parking issues.He wants at least 2 x 8 GB RAM.Could some of you suggest a build based on deals? CM Store cases are fine. Newegg, tiger, any good etailer...I was thinking an 1155 based system, but I'm not sure which chipset.--Join Teams Helix and Discovery.

What chipset should we start with, Z77?

Thanks for trying! Maybe that is the issue.

Thanks for trying! Maybe that is the issue.
I don't know.
Ok, I tried.Missing case, keyboard/mouse, Monitor, speakers, optional video card, and optional a better Heat Sink Fan for the cpu. Oh, forgot about the DVD combo driver, or a blu-ray.I'm not sure does he want to try looking in to:»www.cyberpowerpc.com/and»www.ibuypower.com/
He seems to enjoy building, but doesn't know as much as many of our regulars here know. He's a super nice person, I enjoy my chats with him, but they are often briefer than I'd like.
I'd actually start by asking what his current "all out" 1366 based system can't/doesn't do that a new build will. Does he just have the upgrade/new build itch, or is it something else? There is no wrong answer, just curious. :PTo Fizzy: "Sound Card? I guess we stick with on-board?? Realtek ALC898"If this guy does "heavy audio recording work" he should have something like a RME Hammerfall DSP 9632 card for audio processing or something similar for audio input/output.I built a i5-2600K/P67 based machine with a SeaSonic S12II 620, 8GB (4x2) G.Skill X Ripjaws and GTX 560 about a year ago for a buddy with a "serious" home studio (with the aforementioned RME card into a Yamaha MG32/14FX mixer console) about a year ago. So something similar with current parts should do just fine. It also handles video editing just fine too (for editing his bands shows/gigs).
RME HDSP 9632 - PCI Digital Audio CardPrice: $479.00»www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/3···PCI.html Also, you type i5-2600k.. Do you mean i5-2500k? or i7-2600k?Good news is.. the Ivy Bridge cost just as much as the Sandy Bridge. (Ivy Bridge is newer.)i5-2500k(Sandy Bridge)=$219.99i5-3570k(Ivy Bridge)=$219.99i7-2600k(Sandy Bridge)=$319.99i7-3770k(Ivy Bridge)=$319.99
Yeah, he paid 500+ for it when it was new, it was transplanted from his old machine though.Into his 4U rackmount chassis that was mounted in a Anvil rackmount road case.Oops, yeah meant 2500K, sorry typo demon struck again.If building a system today, go with Ivy Bridge. I built that system a little over a year ago, Sandy Bridge was the only choice then.To signmeuptoo: is he using software based "virtual studio" like Reason? »www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/
Tell me more, Crash. Sure, we don't have enough information yet, but I'd like to know more about your doings.I still need to find out what hardware he will install in it for studio work.What if we upped his budget to 1200? I should think they could open things up a bit...--Join Teams Helix and Discovery. Rest in Peace, Leonard David Smith, my best friend, you are missed badly! Rest in peace, Pop, glad our last years were good. Please pray for Colin, he has ependymoma, a brain cancer, donate to a children's Hospital.
That machine I built close to a year ago was about $850 in parts. The $500+ DSP card and 4U rackmount case were transplanted/reused. The rest was new (mobo,cpu,ram,gfx,psu, odd,hdd). His goal was to keep it under $1000 and with the "friend" discount for my time, effort researching and assembly/testing, we made made it just under budget. I knew what my guy had for a setup, both software and hardware wise. He was also very clear about what he wanted/needed. That made it easier for me, although we went through several prospective "parts lists", all through Newegg.
I'd just keep it half way basic to allow for other bits specific to the work preferred for the machine. I went away from an asus board just to have firewire on the motherboard, even though a card would be be best for allowing extra musical hardware plug in points.Grand Total:* $759.94Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit - OEM»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···32116992GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···13128545Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···19116504G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···202314892 - in 1 dealSeagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive»www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDeal···.1129330CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply»www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDeal···.1129330Then look at:A specific firewire card for the OP's uses/hardware needs.Whether internal sound hardware is required - not necessarily a standard type sound card, something more specific to work not playback.Whether a SSD can be added to the package.Is a case required.Is an optical Blu-ray player required over a DVD player.You can always look at swapping other parts but it to me it was either an i7 with no O/C, low budget, or go with an i5 with O/C. I doubt for $1K we need to look at i7 O/C or a high end motherboard - mid-range seems fine - but that comes back to what the OP's direction and funds are.

As a musician using two notebooks(Core 2 Duo), you'll want to stick with Windows 7 as it is rock solid and Avid sucks for Pro Tools certification of new OS releases--some audio interface companies usually have issues with new OSes too. If he uses Cubase & Ableton they're likely going to patch existing release to support Win8--Ableton v8.4+AmpliTube is working on my Thinkpad w/Win8. Personally I use a Mac+Logic for heavy recording duty as Avid hardware certification of desktop components is a pain on Windows and why I still use a old trusted "certified" Thinkpad T61 for Pro Tools.With that said a big SSD(256GB) for boot drive and apps is ideal(you could scale back to a low-end i5), two WD Black HDD for recording storage and one WD Black as a "scratch drive". Use a PCIe 1x slot for extra room to use more SATA/eSATA HDDs.--Motherboard: make sure it meets the requirements/certification for Avid Pro Tools or you'll learn what a bag of hurt PT can be --Most musicians prefer having at least one onboard firewire port and also a PCI card for extra FW400/FW800.--PCI/PCIe or Firewire Audio Interface: this is much better latency wise than USB 2.0 interfaces and onboard sound input/output is garbage even for headphone usage.--Video card... hmm, I'd lean towards nVidia consumer cards as their drivers are solid 99% of the time like their Quadro but if he wants/plans to use three monitors an AMD FirePro V4800/V4900 is the way to go as drivers are much better than consumer cards.--Processor: If Pro Tools is being used with midi virtual instruments more RAM is a better investment than raw CPU power.---Additional notes: Don't build an entertainment PC as it brings more woes into a working environment, you want something with long term driver support like business PC makers(Lenovo ThinkCenter/Thinkpad or Dell Optiplex/Latitude). Less bling/eye candy makes a solid recording studio setup.If video card demands aren't big on his list, Intel IGP is good enough for a two monitor setup... a Mac mini w/i5 would be a good "benchmark" spec to start from.There are two types of musicians in my opinion:1) A single instrument musician who DJs on the side for rent money and changes bands as many times as his/her underwear in a year. Specs of a computer isn't going to be as demanding unless they heavily use virtual instruments/loops+effects, I know many DJs who still use Core Duo notebooks with high resolution screens.2) A multi-instrument musician who attempts to record every individual instrument track him/herself with minimal virtual instrument(midi keyboard or loops). Often won't use software effects, a mid-range desktop/notebook can last 4-5+ years and sticks to using better gear to get the job done(ex: guitar/bass pedals, custom microphone mounting setup for drum recording, etc).

Thanks so much guys. I tried my best to fill him in and he explained more stuff to me. I'll exchange some emails with him and then get back you y'all some more. As for today, I'm a crispy critter I'm so tired (worked).
signmeuptoo, cost to specs he'd likely be spending as much as a refurb 21.5" iMac(May 2011) on a workstation grade PC(~$900-950 without a SSD). If you cut back to a cheaper nVidia GeForce/Quadro card, two WD Blue 1TB and some cheaper RAM(ex: Kingston HyperX) you could pull it off at ~750-800. Keep in mind since WD Blue drives 1TB+ have 32/64mb cache, you could/should skip the WD Black series. Personally I only use WD Black drives on notebooks, WD Blue desktop drives are very reliable at 24/7 usage(I average 4-5yrs before I do early retirement).
And hardware it seems. Looking at the specifics for Windows here there seems quite some restrictions to hardware, firmware etc.Also here for graphics cards.Although all Apples with i5 here suggests the cpu is fine, it maybe more as pointed out about the motherboard?

Well, he's on the border on that issue, he prefers full ATX boards but was looking at small ones for portability, and to fit in the smaller case. As far as the Antec, I have had 3 of them fail on me in the past. Yes, I know they've improved, but I refuse to give them business, if he wants to get it, fine, that's up to him.As far as the HS/F, I suggested the Hyper 212+ because I don't think he needs to spend big money on a cooler. IF he overclocks, it will be a mild overclock, he's very wary of doing so. Besides, something that heavy in a small system being lugged around, no, it's a no go.But thanks for all your input so far, it's all immensely appreciated.--Join Teams Helix and Discovery.

Japan logs record trade gap in 2012 as exports struggle
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan logged a record annual trade deficit in 2012 as exports continued to slide in December in a worrying signal that the effects of a weaker yen and the new government's moves to boost the economy with fiscal and monetary stimulus have been slow in coming.
Sentiment among Japanese manufacturers improved for a second straight month and is seen returning to a positive reading in the coming few months, providing some evidence that the world's third-biggest economy is crawling out of a mild recession.
But the record annual trade gap of 6.93 trillion yen in 2012 and the seventh consecutive monthly drop in exports show that improved sentiment has yet to translate into hard economic data.
Finance ministry data on Thursday showed that exports fell 5.8 percent in the year to December, more than economists' consensus forecast of a 4.2 percent drop.
The second consecutive annual trade deficit recorded by a nation that for decades had racked up hefty surpluses, helping to finance its ballooning debt, underlines the need for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government to strike a balance between economic growth and fiscal reform.
The 2011 shortfall was the first annual trade deficit since 1980, as exports struggled and Japan's shift away from nuclear power after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, with its subsequent nuclear crisis, boosted fossil fuel imports.
December data, however, are expected to be the low point and analysts expect the economy to gradually regain momentum this year.
"When calculating month-on-month figures, seasonally adjusted export volume actually increased a lot, suggesting that exports and the broader economy bottomed out last November or December," said Tatsushi Shikano, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
The batch of data comes as Abe has rolled out an economic stimulus package and the yen has weakened in expectations of bold monetary easing by the Bank of Japan.
The BOJ doubled its inflation target to 2 percent on Tuesday and made an open-ended commitment to buy assets from next year after weeks of relentless pressure from Abe for a greater push to lift the economy out of deflation.
Imports rose 1.9 percent, against a projected 1.5 percent increase, resulting in a trade deficit of 641.5 billion yen compared with a forecast deficit of 534.0 billion yen, and marking a sixth straight month of trade deficits.
A Reuters monthly poll, also out on Thursday, which closely correlates with the BOJ's tankan survey showed that the manufacturers' sentiment index rose by a point to minus 17 in January, up 2 points from a three-year low registered in November.
The index in the Reuters Tankan, derived by subtracting the percentage of pessimistic responses from optimistic ones, is expected to jump to plus 1 in April, meaning that optimists outnumber pessimists, according to the poll of 400 firms, of which 266 responded in a January 8-21 survey.
Analysts expect exports and the broader economy will pick up gradually along with the global recovery, helped by the yen's weakening due to the Bank of Japan's continued monetary easing and Abe's expansionary budget policy.
Earlier this month, the cabinet approved $117 billion in extra spending in the biggest stimulus since the global financial crisis, in a bid to pull the world's third biggest economy out of its fourth recession since 2000.
In an encouraging signal for the export-reliant economy, manufacturing in the United States and China - two major markets for Japanese shipments - grew in December, suggesting the global economy was on course for moderate growth this year.

Metallica Through the Never: An IMAX 3D Experience
Starring Metallica, a cast of thousands of their fans and breakout star Dane DeHaan, Metallica Through the Never is written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Nimrod Antal and produced by former IMAX film producer Charlotte Huggins. The film marries groundbreaking footage and editing techniques with a compelling narrative, in which a band crew member is sent out on a mission during Metallica's roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena. While on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life… Show more
Created by
The rage rockers reassert their relevance, loudly, in a movie whose marketing promises a fresh hybrid of concert film and narrative feature. But the band and director Nimród Antal ("Predators") are strictly about hypnagogic flashes and rocking their set, making this an old-school music video stretched to feature length. Dane DeHaan handles the offstage action as a sullen-yet-stoked roadie navigating a cityscape out of "The Warriors."(Full review)

Quick Take: The fear that smart meters will fry our brains continues to proliferate. A small but very vocal minority is consumed by theories that one commentator compared to "mass hysteria."
A new report from engineering consultancy Cascadia PM in behalf of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute has confirmed that the electromagnetic radiation from smart meters does not create a health hazard.
The study was conducted as part of the Maui smart grid pilot project. Cascadia tested the meters at close range, and at distances up to 50 feet. The tests revealed that "smart meter communications ambient field strengths are less than what we commonly accepted in public spaces and much less than we expose ourselves to using cell phones," said Maui County Energy Commissioner Doug McLeod.
Meanwhile, in Worcester, MA, the city council has rejected an effort to gain a one-year postponement of National Grid's smart meter pilot program. A council subcommittee had suggested the delay because of concerns over both health and privacy.
In explaining why the city was not going to block the pilot, Mayor Joseph Petty reminded that "if people don't want to participate in this program, they can opt-out." National Grid had previously indicated that it would not slow down the deployment. However, it must still go before the city's Zoning Board of Appeals to respond to petitions objecting to communications towers that relate to the pilot program.
Read Worcester City Council allows grid plan to begin in the New Telegram.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

From canoodling couples to a self-adoring politician to letters received in moments of loneliness, New Yorker covers celebrate love in its many shapes and sizes.

Grand Central Terminal turns a hundred today. In a January, 1929, Casual, E. B. White wrote, "The cold weather is setting in. Should anyone decide to dig in for the winter, I recommend the Grand Central as a good place. That terminal, with its catacombs and its connecting clubs, offices, and hotels now offers a complete existence—all of the necessities of life, plus clean fun." That's still true today, though it would be nice is there were still an official organist. Here are some of Grand Central Terminal's appearances on the cover of The New Yorker over the years: http://nyr.kr/TmVYR0

Since 1925, when we published our first magazine cover featuring swimmers wearing swimwear, The New Yorker has been renowned for its coverage of swimsuits and everything that goes into them. High-water marks include John Cheever's classic story "The Swimmer," William Finnegan's celebrated series onsurfing, and Alison Rose's hard-hitting poolside interview with Esther Williams. Today, with all due respect to Kate Upton, we continue that proud tradition with our first-ever online Swimsuit Issue. Dive into the table of contents: http://nyr.kr/Py9X4q
"All human shapes are here," Anthony Lane wrote recently, as he dashed from women's weightlifting to cycling to water polo events at this summer's Olympic games. For those of us experiencing withdrawal from the Olympics and its march of human forms, we have an antidote: a swimsuit pageant from The New Yorker's archive, as part of our Swimsuit Issue.

Over the course of its eighty-seven years, The New Yorker has had many Olympics-inspired covers. The images comment not so much on the Games themselves, but often on where they were held. Click-through for a slideshow featuring some of these covers: http://nyr.kr/MH5mN6

IDW Gives Readers Opportunity to Buy Judge Dredd Reprints Twice
- Written by Jude Terror on Thursday, August 09 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
In a brilliant strategy to increase sales, IDW will release Brian Bolland's Judge Dredd reprints twice - once in black and white, and once in color.
Source: Press Release
Comic book fans love Judge Dredd. IDW loves money. Finally, there is way to bring these two passions together. In November, IDW will release Judge Dredd: The Complete Brian Bolland, an oversized hardcover that presents Bolland's detailed linework in what IDW is calling "pristine black and white."
"We're happy to give [the fans] what they want," said Chris Ryal, who embodies this theme of duality by being both IDW's Chief Creative Officer and its Editor in Chief. In a second part of this quote which is marginally more made-up than the first part, Ryall continued, "Especially when giving the fans what they want means we can sell a fifty dollar hardcover without paying a premium for four color printing."
The best part is, IDW won't stop there. Come Spring, they will begin releasing the very same Brian Bolland comics collected in the hardcover in a monthly format, "applying the most modern coloring techniques to these beloved pages." Finally, grateful fans will have the opportunity to pay IDW twice for the same product!
"I was thinking to myself the other day," said Randall P. Stuftwallet, a typical comic book fan, "that the only thing better than paying IDW for thirty year old Judge Dredd comics once would be paying IDW for thirty year old Judge Dredd comics two times! It's like IDW read my mind! Thanks, IDW!"
Indeed, all of comics readership owes IDW a debt of gratitude for changing the paradigms of comic book publishing and allowing readers to give publishers more money without producing any new work. The Outhouse, for one, has considered starting up a Kickstarter project in order to raise money to send to publishers, since we feel downright guilty paying only $3.99 for an entire comic book! Luckily, IDW has beaten us to the punch, and provided a way to fill their coffers without engaging in the borderline communist act of fundraising.
Judge Dredd: The Complete Brian Bolland (248 pages) will be in stores in November and will retail for $49.99, but if you feel that's too good a deal, please feel free to write a blank check and mail it right to IDW's offices. Other Judge Dredd collections will follow, unless IDW gets so rich they don't want to be bothered anymore.

A Surprising Link Between Beer and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Posted By Candy Sagon On May 8, 2014 @ 2:20 pm In Health Talk | Comments Disabled
[1]Having a couple of beers a week may reduce a woman's risk of getting painful rheumatoid arthritis [2] (RA) by nearly a third, a new study finds.
Researchers with Harvard Medical School wanted to see if moderate alcohol consumption might be associated with a lower risk of this particular form of arthritis, which affects more than 1.5 million Americans, primarily women [3]. The disease typically strikes women between ages 30 and 60.
In the study [4], having a few alcoholic drinks during the week seemed to reduce the risk by a modest 21 percent, but having two to four beers per week had the best effect – cutting women's odds for getting the disease by 31 percent, said lead researcher Bing Lu, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Lu and his colleagues looked at the drinking habits of nearly 240,000 nurses enrolled in two large federal studies. Women filled out questionnaires about their health every two years and about their food and alcohol consumption every four years.
The research was published in the spring 2014 issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism.
The findings point up only a relationship and not a cause, the researchers noted. They can't yet explain how beer and other alcohol works to reduce a woman's risk for rheumatoid arthritis. They also don't know if the findings would apply to men, although "rheumatoid arthritis is primarily a woman's disease," Lu told HealthDay [6].

Lots of good things happened this season that we Duke fans, the team, and the coaches can be proud of.
I have a few in mind, but I'll start with just one:
Duke 85, UNC 84. The most exciting Duke victory in the 140+ games between Duke and UNC, and the signature basketball game of 2012 across all of college basketball.
Why? Well-played, fast-paced game. Two top-ten teams. Duke an underdog. At Chapel Hill. Making up ten-point deficit in 2:30. Winning it at (after?) the buzzer on a three point shot by a freshman over the ACC player of the year. Tying UNC for the lead in the ACC.
There is a lot more to remember positively about the season. who's next?
