What makes our Student Finance Office different?
What makes our Student Finance Office different is the individual attention we are able to give every student. This past year, some sort of financial aid was received by 91% of our graduate students and 87% of the undergrads.
Unlike larger institutions, we don't just give you forms to fill out. Because of our deep roots in the community we help our students access a wide variety of outside resources, from public and private agencies as well as generous individuals, clubs and organizations.
Within OSF Saint Francis Medical Center there is a unique program we call MEEP, short for Modified Education Employment Program. If you're willing to make a commitment to staying and working as a bedside nurse at the Medical Center (as so many students want to do) you may be eligible for $4000 of financial aid each semester. After you've fulfilled your commitment, that debt is totally forgiven. It's an incredible opportunity.
At this current time of economic crisis, we know more and more students are experiencing financial troubles…but that means we just need to be very creative and use every possible resource. We are deeply committed to helping students get into school, stay in school, and achieve their dreams.
Student Finance Testimonials
Read what some of our students are saying...
"I wanted to become a nurse because I enjoy interacting with patients and caring for their every need; I wanted to help others! I chose SFMC-CON because I had heard great things about the program and I wanted to be a part of the OSF team. The professors are devoted to helping me as a student exceed academically and clinically. I also really enjoy getting to know and work with my peers in the classroom and on the units.
Attending SFMCCON full time and working part time is not an easy task. Being awarded the MEEP scholarship was a true blessing to me, financially and by helping me take further steps towards my career as a nurse. As a MEEP recipient I will work for a great institution once I graduate. MEEP not only helps me pay for my tuition, but also gave me experience in the applying and interviewing process, similar to what I will go through when applying for a job. For any prospective student who wants to attend SFMCCON, I encourage you to study hard and work hard towards your goal of being a nurse. SFMCCON is an amazing college with awesome faculty who have a deep compassion for teaching and helping students become professional Registered Nurses."
"What I love about Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing is how devoted the instructors, administration and support staff are to the students' success. Everyone is always lending a helping hand to make the transition from student to nurse as smooth as possible! The teachers have an open door policy and are always making themselves available to us. The student finance office sends reminders about scholarships; and administration and staff always keep us up to date on what's happening around the school. It's nice to feel like a part of a big family here at the College of Nursing!
I am passionate about helping others. There's nothing better than going home after a clinical day knowing that you were able to provide a patient with the "greatest care and love!" I've always wanted to work at a "big" hospital and from my very first clinical experience I knew that OSF Saint Francis was where I wanted to work. So when MEEP was offered to me, I couldn't say no! It feels great to know that I have a plan, a great nursing education, lowered tuition cost, and a job opportunity after graduation!"
"I love Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing because we carry out our mission statement "to serve with the greatest care and love" everyday. Long before I finished my pre-requisites or enrolled, the College reached out to me with encouragement and responses to my questions in a way no other school had ever done before. I absolutely love the Student Finance Office because when I have a problem I can talk to someone and receive help in resolving the issue. Being awarded scholarships and MEEP has been a blessing! On clinical, patients are truly treated equally and with care regardless of their financial status. The faculty give good feedback on assignments and when the students feel something should be changed, the administrators listen. More recently I was amazed at how many people in the college that I have never been introduced to know my name. That shows a commitment to the students by the administrators to get to know us and how welcome we are at the college. Everyone is treated like how we all would want to be treated."
"What I love most about Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing is that the school is helping me achieve a dream I have wanted since grade school. I've grown up with family members who work for OSF Saint Francis and they have always told me "You'd be a natural as a nurse!" Now I am a step closer to achieving those two letters (RN) behind my name and I'll be happy that I have received that title from the College of Nursing.
On the first day of classes, the professors welcome you with open arms. They encourage you to work with others, ask them for help with their "open door" policy, and to never feel as if you are the only one with a specific trouble or problem.
The smiling faces and positive attitudes of the Student Finance Office staff immediately make you feel "welcomed" and "at home." Here's a group of people specifically dedicated to work with your financial situation and help you achieve your educational goals. I had a major setback before entering my second semester of my junior year, which caused me to have to re-consider ways to support myself through college. The finance office worked with me to find resources that would help me continue to go to school full-time and work my two jobs! I am really honored to be selected as a recipient of the Modified Education Employment Program (MEEP). Without this support I would have had to give up my dream of being a Registered Nurse so I owe the College of Nursing the ultimate thanks and gratitude."
"Wow! Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing …there is so much I could say! I will never forget the feeling of overflowing joy I felt the day I received my acceptance letter. From applying to SFMCCON to almost graduating, I have nothing negative to say, and that is the truth! Ten years ago my sister graduated from the program and only had a positive report when I expressed my interest in the college to her. The college itself is an amazing experience, as is the hospital. This is why receiving MEEP (Modified Education-Employment Program) has been such an incredible opportunity. Not only does it provide the financial support necessary to take the burden of school loans off of my shoulders, but along with it comes the chance to work at one of the most established and respectable hospitals around! Nursing school has been such a rewarding education experience, and I would not trade it for any other career path. I am not trying to be cliché when I say that all of the staff at Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing is there to help and be there for you no matter what the situation may be. I consider myself extremely blessed to call myself a student at Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing where the knowledge and experience I have gained has exceed my expectations. The relationships being built are ones I will carry with me throughout my life."
"I chose Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing because I work with amazing nurses that have graduated from Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing! They are compassionate, caring, and advocate for their patients every time. I wanted to be able to care for my patients just like they care for their patients everyday.
I really appreciate the smaller class sizes and the College staff. Every single teacher truly cares about each and every student! They do not want to see anyone fail and are willing to help. Your teachers are like your cheerleaders! All the student support service departments are wonderful as well! I do not think I could say more positive things about them! Every person is willing to assist you, answer your questions and want to help you to reach your dreams.
I had completed two other degrees prior to attending Saint Francis College of Nursing and had exhausted several of my resources for financial help. I am very thankful to be a recipient of the MEEP program, otherwise I do not know if I would have been able to complete the program. It is such a relief to not have to be concerned about how I am going to pay for college. It is great to be able to tell people that not only do I go to a great school but they have helped me to reach my dreams by supporting me financially."
"The faculty and staff have been wonderful. They teach you, guide you, support you, shape you, pray for you and so much more. I could have started another college nursing program six months sooner, but knew that there was no comparison to the education that I would receive here. I know without a doubt that was a smart decision!
As a single mom of a four year old son, it's extremely challenging to have the income to support a household and go to school. Being granted MEEP and Scholarships has been such an amazing blessing. I never imagined that I would be able to obtain all the help that I've received. As a result, I am not only succeeding for myself and my son, but for everyone that believes in my strengths, caring attitude and passion to become an excellent nurse.
The Student Finance Office is absolutely stellar. Every time I go visit, I am taken care of by caring people. I wouldn't have been as successful in obtaining financial assistance had it not been for the dedicated personnel in this office. I used the on-line resources they have available on how to apply for scholarships and what to focus on when writing essays. They are all passionate about what they do and it truly shows. I will always remember that, "Free money is a fine thing". Indeed it is!"
"I am a third generation nurse who will graduate from Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing. My grandmother and my mother taught me what it truly meant to be a nurse and how one interaction, one helping hand, one extra touch, one extra second of listening can change a patient's life forever. I chose Saint Francis to become that kind of nurse!
My own experience with outstanding nursing care began when I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed from the nipple line down. I was given a prognosis that I had a one in a million chance that I would ever walk again. Through the work of God, He lined me up to be here at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center where there is a world-class neurosurgery team and nursing staff. Over the course of nearly a month and a half I regained some feeling and movement in my lower limbs. I was on multiple floors at the hospital and on each floor I received excellent care. But I could soon recognize the difference between the nurses that had graduated from Saint Francis and those who had graduated elsewhere. Saint Francis College of Nursing nurses sincerely lived the hospital mission of serving with the greatest love and care. Each one would ask "what can I do for you today" and "can I get you anything else" before leaving. This may seem like a small thing to you but as a patient it was always appreciated to know I wasn't being rushed through so my nurse could get to another room.
As you can see, I beat the odds. But it was a long stay in the hospital and an even longer run of physical and occupational therapy outside the hospital. This left my family in financial hardship because of the resources my recovery required.
I am especially appreciative and honored to have being selected for the MEEP, Alumni scholarship and the Matthew and Alexandra Shunick scholarship. These generous scholarships have ensured that I will be able to graduate and reach my nursing goals."

"Even as a little girl I knew that I had a passion for people and realized that my calling in life is nursing! I hope to someday become a nurse practitioner, and Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing is helping me live out my dream What I love most about the College of Nursing is that it has blessed me with relationships and friendships with other students and faculty. Instructors know me by more than just my grades or my face in the classroom and at Saint Francis you are surrounded by amazing people who care about you and want you to succeed.
The College of Nursing pushes its students to work and study harder than they ever have so that they can graduate as knowledgeable and compassionate nurses. This is why being awarded MEEP has been truly a gift for me! I feel very fortunate to be recognized with this financial award. It has eased my financial burden so that I can concentrate more on my studies and less on my bank account! I thank God every day for my experiences at Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing"
"What I love most about Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing is that every instructor is there for you from day one to the end. Each instructor cares about your success in the program. They want you to succeed. Students all work together toward the same goal, which is becoming a professional nurse. I chose Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing because the NCLEX pass rate was the highest in the area and I wanted to become part of a program that achieves the highest success.
But financially, I wouldn't have been able to go to College without scholarships. I didn't get financial aid grants…all I could do was apply for scholarships and boy did I apply! And I got about $8000 in scholarship money!
What I would tell a student who needed help with their education finances is to apply for as many scholarships as they can. Start looking early for scholarships. Go to your local high school resources for local, state, and national scholarships. Go on the web and start looking for scholarship pertaining to nursing, any community service performed, if you are left handed, if you have parents in the military, if you're a minority, if you're a single parent, etc. Check with your parent's employers for scholarships, or maybe even the union at your parent's job. Get references, write your essay and as they become due make sure you get them sent out on time! The bottom line is..... start early and get organized! Good Luck!"

Are you an HSP?
I've always known I was sensitive in the common sense of the word, but I recently found out (among other things) that I was a Highly Sensitive Person, according to psychologist Elaine N. Aron. This trait is particular, fairly common but widely ignored. It's definitely not a disease, and although it makes one vulnerable, it has pretty good aspects too. If you score high on this test, her book is an absolute must-read. It could change your life! And if you don't seem to be an HSP, I guess it's interesting to learn about it anyway as you're bound to live around some. It would be so helpful if more people knew about this.Posted: January 20th, 2014 | Author: anneemall | Filed under: Misc. | 2 Comments »

Coffee enema pros and cons
Common Questions and Answers about Coffee enema pros and cons
okay, can you tell me why almost everyone is opining on the
of headshop's proposed trip
that virtually noone is saying anything about the fact that yesterday he reduced his daily ribavirin from 1000 mg to 600 mg (according to his own journal)? Is there a blackout in town? Is ribavirin irrelevant for him? Is the prospect of love blinding all of us to what is normally a sizzling hot topic in this forum - dosage reduction - or is there something I am missing?

Randi, I have not had any surgery for my REFLUX/Barrett's Esophagus...but there are quite a few in this forum that have had. Further down in the forum is one called "Surgery to correct REFLUX". Check it out. My observation is - it's important to get the best gastroenterologist you can and if HE thinks you should have the "wrap" then research all the pros and cons. Then find a surgeon that specializes in doing the "wraps".

Thank you for your timely response. My tremors are pretty much localized in my upper body; say, between my waist and my neck. By the way, something I did not mention on my original description is that these tremors are not external. As I pointed out, after they wake me up they last for about an extra 10-15 seconds and they disappeared completely. During these 10-15 second period, I have asked my wife to place her hand on my stomach/chest so she can feel what I am experiencing.

Growing revenue from a growing sport.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bowfishing is a rapidly growing sport in Texas that combines elements of fishing and archery. It is a family friendly sport exciting enough to keep younger children engaged and can also provide parents an opportunity to connect with their children or simply relax and enjoy time with friends. Bowfishers, by regulation, fish for nongame fish such as gar, carp, and tilapia. Some of these fish are excellent table fare. Bowfishing provides additional revenue for the Texas Parks and Wildlife service. Bowfishing can take pressure off of common game species. Bowfishing also makes species often considered

As a former event planner for Martha Stewart in New York City, Gastonia resident August Post is known for a level of style thats off the charts but without spending a lot of money.
At his home last week, that signature style was on display as Post hosted a bridge party for friends.
The game is getting attention again, thanks to billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Theyve put up $1 million to pay for education programs that teach bridge to students, to build life skills.
On Tuesday, Post will demonstrate some of his tips for entertaining on WCNC-TVs Charlotte Today at 11 a.m.
Heres how he prepares for a bridge party or other events:
Pick your color scheme
Once he picked a party theme, his next step was to plan a color scheme. Indoors, stick with the tones you have and play them up. If the room youre entertaining in is red, that should be part of your color scheme, he said.
He generally uses three colors for a look thats layered. For this event he went with aqua, the wall color, plus two neutrals: khaki and cream. The strongest color is for accent.
Make time for setting up
At least a day before the party, he thinks about the flow of the room. He made sure there was enough space around the tables so the chairs wouldnt touch each other or the buffet.
Planning the menu
Post keeps the food light for a luncheon. He chose a chicken salad recipe (from Observer Food Editor Kathleen Purvis Pecans cookbook).
The buffet also had onion and goat cheese tartlets, along with chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds from Sams Club, for guests to nibble on throughout the afternoon.
Stemless wine glasses held one of his go-to favorites from a Neiman Marcus cookbook: parfaits with berries, Greek yogurt and granola.
His friend Katherine Sanders made sugar cookies in the shape of card suits (diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts), with aqua icing to match his color scheme.
Instead of punch, he served lavender and citrus iced tea in a silver punch bowl, with frozen sliced oranges floating in it.
Post is big on party skirts for the bar and buffet tables. His arent too thematic or seasonal, so he gets lots of use out of them.
He sewed his own and had them monogrammed with his initials at Cotswold Marketplace.
For table centerpieces, he spent $12 on white roses at Harris Teeter and put the arrangements in amber crystal flower pots. He filled urns with branches cut from his yard.
Typically theres a prize at bridge parties for the highest and lowest scorers. He gave the winner a trophy bought for $1 at a thrift store, along with a tea set wrapped in a heart-shaped box. The person with the low score got a tea cup filled with tea bags.
People remember how the host made them feel, so Post recruited two friends who are accomplished players to be bridge angels. They coached less-experienced players.
It made the whole day so much more fun because we could all play at the same pace, Post said.

Hincapie Sportswear Arenberg Knee Warmer

I am in Women's size 8-10, what size should I choose for this knee warmer? It seems to be made for Men's size.
Best Knee Warmer/Leg Warmer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This knee warmer is longer than other knee warmer in the market. That's what makes it unique. Most knee warmers is too short to cover full thigh and calf, and they usually cover only upper calf which result creeping up during riding. This doesn't happen with this knee warmer. This knee warmer combine with longer merino sock gets you full coverage of the leg. No need to buy leg warmer.
Bill Brown
Excellent knee warmers
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are what you would expect from George-utilitarian without any unnecessary frills. They are held up nicely by silicone band and further have another silicone band on the outside to prevent your shorts from riding up on your thigh. They are a little longer than others I have used by about 2"-but that's OK-if it's cold enough for warmers it's OK that they go down below mid calf. Materials are excellent and construction is good-every thing you need in a knee warmer is here. What else could you possibly get from those that cost more than twice as much? I highly recommend.
John Heineken
Awesome & kinda unique
Hincapie gear is designed by George Hincapie - a pro rider and legend who rode in the TdF 17 times. It shows.
What I like most about these Hincapie knee warmers (other than the quality) is that they definitely extend a little further down the leg than most knee warmers. These also cover the upper calf muscles as well. Thus, these are a great way to start a cold 45-55* morning (with a light jacket or vest), then when it warms up, shed the knee warmers and stash them in your jersey pocket.
These warmers are made from high-quality "Super Roubaix" fabric (which is made in Italy). These will cover the 40-60* range perfectly. The band toward the bottom is for safety (reflective).
"Arenberg" refers to one of the most famous sections of the Paris-Roubaix bike race (George rode to 7 top-ten finishes there).
Quality of manufacture: The sewing and seams on these knee warmers are perfect. I have found uniformly excellent quality and QC in all the Hincapie gear that I own. Bravo to George Hincapie and his brother Richard (also a rider) who run this company.
Rick Steiger
Best warmers I've used to date
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Very comfortable on the inside. Fit is perfect, and with the grippers on the inside and outside they will not slide down an inch.

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Lookers Plc, a U.K. car dealership and auto parts supplier, said third-quarter trading was "satisfactory" and full-year results will be "in line with management expectations."
"Trading during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and particularly during the critical month of September has been satisfactory," the Manchester, England-based company said today in a Regulatory News Service statement. Results "for the financial year to December 31, 2011, will be in line with management expectations."
Total new car sales in the first nine months of the year increased 2 percent from the previous year, Lookers said. New car retail sales fell by 10 percent.
"The motor division has made reasonable progress in the period, which is a good performance in a difficult market," the company said.
Lookers is in talks on new bank facilities which are expected to reduce the interest rate margin on group borrowings, according to the statement. Talks should conclude this quarter.

How hasĀtheĀEnglish language done withoutĀfuckwizard, manslurp,ĀandĀthundertube?ĀI am not sure, but Nicholson Baker's awe-inducingly smuttyĀHouse of Holes: A Book of RaunchĀcontains these pleasing new coinages, along with many, many others. Baker's singularly obsessive work has in previous books covered poets, escalators, baby bottles, World War II, and John Updike, who once said thatĀtheĀwriter "should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves" when describing sex. This is sound advice, though it is debatable whether phrases like "slippy sloppy fuckfountains" and "lasso of manstarch" are what Updike had in mind.
Baker's first dirty novel,ĀtheĀphone-sex colloquyĀVoxĀ(1992), was a best-seller and earned him an unusually fateful fan. Monica Lewinsky gave Bill Clinton a copy, which wound up playing a small evidentiary role in his impeachment.ĀTheĀFermataĀ(1994), Baker's second sexy novel, an unlikely masterpiece, stars a man who uses his ability to stop time to undress women and jizz on them. These books would nevertheless have to share a well-lubed double-dong dildo to equalĀtheĀsheer amount of sex inĀHouse of Holes.
TheĀtitle refers to a place to which men and women are transported after staring into an aperture, such as a straw, or a "dickhole." It is an Arcadia of enchantment—a bit like Oz or Narnia, but with a lot more cocks and tits. It is a place where one can obtain "an ass-squeezer's license," or exchange an arm for a bigger schlong, or tool around in a Masturboat.
For whom, exactly, is this raunch intended? Longtime Baker fans are bound to feel disappointed byĀHouse of Holes's apparently willful determination to fall several dick lengths short ofĀtheĀvery high lit-porn standard set byĀTheĀFermata.ĀDedicated perverts have their own house of holes, otherwise known asĀtheĀInternet.ĀTheaudience to whom I would most recommend this book is alsoĀtheĀaudience that is least likely to buy it: teenage boys. They are by farĀtheĀcultural constituents most likely to appreciate Baker's hilarious neologisms (neolojisms?). Had Dr. Seuss been a slightly insane pornographer, he might have written a book like this. Which is not to say it is devoid of a certain smuttily avuncular wisdom.
TheĀporn industry and monotheism have exactly one thing in common, which is a view of sex as something edgy and dark and risky. It does not have to be this way, Baker is saying. To proveĀtheĀpoint, he has written a joyful, almost Chaucerian book about having a busload of dicks driven through you. "I personally think all fetishes are just a waste of time," one of Baker's characters says. "All you need for good porn is a pretty smiley woman who's having fun, and a dude with a hard dick who isn't fat." There is, in fact, only one heterosexual fetish worth having, and it is available to both genders. I call itĀtheĀpenis-sliding-into-the-vagina fetish. Fuckwizards, unite!

I want to know if my 650W power supply will hold up?
I've got the following:
I want to buy a GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD as it is on special, but want to know if my little 650W power supply will be able to handle all of this.
Hi Kevin,
Will your Cougar 650W power supply hold up if you were to add a Radeon HD 7870? Yes, most definitely. Most people think that because their system has a 650W power supply, that you would use close to that with a video card installed - but in the real world, most systems don't even get close.
What that type of system, in a stressful game such as Battlefield 3, I'd be surprised to see you pushing past 200-250W of actual power consumption. You could even stretch out to the HD 7950 or 7970 and still find you'll have enough juice left to spare. The new 28nm-based GPUs are incredibly power efficient, as are the new CPUs that have arrived over the last 6-18 months.
Your 650W PSU will hold up, for sure - now go out and get the HD 7870!
I would be buying a new monitor.
Which would you recommend better?
An 1920x1080 120hz 2ms or 2560x1440 60hz 6ms?
For gaming and photo editing.
Hi Michael,
A 1920x1080 @ 120Hz screen is great for gaming, but they're all based on TN panels which aren't really known for their great image quality when it comes to users who want to do anything involving photo or video editing. For gaming, they're some of the best screens out there because of their doubled refresh rate, especially when you're reaching 120 frames per second in games.
I personally run 120Hz screens at home, and I would never go back to 60Hz screens for games - they're that good. But, and this is a very big but, 2560x1440 @ 60Hz screens have their place in the market, too. For image- and video-related work, they're second to none. Especially with photos, as you're working with color and want to see the color on screen, as close to the color as you took, in person, so that you're working with the best possible quality.
Dell's new AH-IPS panels, the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM are probably the best to go for, if you haven't checked them out I suggest you do. They're not too badly priced, either.
Should I upgrade my GTX 460 SLI (1GB each) cards to a newer gen card?
I overclock both cards constantly to 100MHz higher than stock to gain a bit more performance in newer games. I'd obviously like better performance! But I haven't seen any benching of my cards versus newer ones. That's to be expected, and I can compare to 560s or something anyway. But I don't have a definite idea of what's best to choose.
I run a 1080p monitor, and have an i7 920 @ 2.67GHz.
Any help would be great!
Hi Woody,
The GeForce GTX 460 SLI setup that you currently run is definitely ample enough for today's games, but there are also benefits of upgrading, too. Let's say you were to grab yourself a new GEFORCE GTX 670, this would give you a reduced power consumption compared to your SLI setup.
Secondly, it would give better performance as the single GPU can go right up to 100% usage, compared to some games, where you might see maybe 75-80% usage per GPU, not maximizing your setup. Thirdly, you would drop any current issues you experience with SLI, as there are some issues, with some games with multi-GPU use.
For pure performance, you're looking at an improvement, that's for sure. Two GTX 460s are equal to around a single GeForce GTX 480, and a GEFORCE GTX 670 is around ~30-40% faster than the single GTX 480, all while using less power, and producing less heat and noise. I say go for it. It'll also give you the chance to upgrade to GTX 670 SLI in the near future, too.
Which RAM configuration will give better performance in a Intel Z77 Board. 2 x 8GB, or 4 x 4GB?
Hi Carlos,
Both options are fine, you'll notice no performance difference between either option. I will suggest going for 2 x 8GB sticks of RAM, which is the more expensive option. This will allow you to upgrade in the future to 32GB, if that's something you're after.
Performance-wise, you will not see any differences. If you were to end up moving to a quad-channel-based system in the future, all you'd need to go is get another 2 x 8GB sticks and you're ready for quad-channel.
I currently have a core 2 e8400 and 6770's in xfire. I want to update to be able to play battlefield 3 smoothly. with limited funds to upgrade should I hold off and upgrade to ivy bridge or swap my xfire setup for a GTX 670?
Hi Aaron,
Battlefield 3 is quite demanding, and is one of only a handful of games that truly uses your CPU and benefits from a faster CPU, or more threaded CPU. Your CPU is definitely your limitation, firstly, it's an ageing Core 2 Duo, secondly, it's only a dual-core chip.
Your GPU setup is more than good enough to run Battlefield 3 at medium-to-high settings at 1920x1080, so I would suggest waiting and upgrading to an Ivy Bridge setup. You could get a decent Core i5, 4-8GB RAM and CrossFire-capable motherboard for only a little more than what a GEFORCE GTX 670 would set you back.
I just have a little query here , supposing i had the option to buy either an Alienware M17x R4 (NVIDIA GT 680), or make my own desktop with similar GPU, which option will be more beneficial ( keeping the electricity consumption in mind ) ? and, assuming that i use the Laptop as a CPU only (using external FullHD projectors, audio systems etc ) .
Hi Parichya,
Gaming notebooks have their place in the market, and I would recommend the Alienware option if you were a gamer who moved around. If you were going to LAN parties, or friends' houses to LAN, then the Alienware notebook would be the way to go, but for you, I would recommend the desktop.
Power-wise, it will use a little bit more, but if you purchased power-efficient hardware, it shouldn't be too bad. You could get yourself a great Core i7 system, with a GEFORCE GTX 680, and have a much, much faster system, all while costing less!
Considering the system you're using is being used as a standalone box, with projectors and audio systems plugged into it, a notebook seems really out of place. A desktop on the other hand, would feel perfect, drop it down somewhere, plug it in and go!
Is it worth to upgrade from a gtx msi 560ti oc SLI system to a new gtx 670/680?
Hi Duarte,
Good question, with a simple answer: no. Your GeForce GTX 560 Ti setup is still quite good right now, and would be close to the performance of a GEFORCE GTX 670 or 680 on their own. If you're after more grunt, I'd wait for next-gen GPUs, or look at upgrading your monitor setup.
Say you're running a 1920x1080 resolution, your GTX 560 Ti SLI setup is fine for virtually all games out right now. Your SLI setup would only need to see an upgrade as your resolution goes up. Your VRAM would be used up, and then you'd have a reason to upgrade your GPUs. I would suggest investing the money from a GPU upgrade into two more screens, giving you a Surround Vision setup.
Your GTX 560 Ti SLI setup would still be more than powerful enough to run the three screens, and as time goes by, upgrade to a couple of 670 or 680's when they get cheaper.
Hello, I have a p67 pc, corei7 2600k, 8g of ram, asus p8p67 mb, gf 570gtx gpu, 850 psu, I just bought a Vertex 4 ssd as my windows drive, the problem that Im having is that the drive hangs when the system stars, I've read that it has do to with the Intel Rapid Storage technology that has my pc, so how do I disable this?
Hi Rolando,
Before you disable Intel's Rapid Storage Technology in your motherboard's BIOS options, I would suggest updating the drivers for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology from ASUS' website. This seems to fix most users' issues with the drive hangs and problems.
Would a CoolerMaster Silent Gold 800W run two GTX680's?
Hi Andy,
Yes, the CoolerMaster Silent Gold 800W is an excellent PSU, and would be most capable of driving your SLI'd GEFORCE GTX 680 setup.
NVIDIA have also done quite well on power consumption levels on the Kepler-based GTX 680 GPUs, meaning they use less power than the older generations of GPUs at the high end, and under stress. If you already have the GPUs, the CoolerMaster Silent Gold 800W is a fine PSU to acquire.
Would an i5 3570K bottle-neck a 2-way SLI GTX 680 and a 2-way SLI GTX 670?
Hi Megs,
Double-edged answer, so yes and no. For a single-screen gamer, no it wouldn't. If you were to be on a triple-screen, 120Hz setup, then depending on the game yes.
For the most part, the Core i5 3570K is absolutely more than enough. If it's not enough, then a bit of overclocking would definitely push you over the edge and give you that bit extra grunt that the SLI setup would require.
I'm going to guess that you have a single monitor (or TV) setup at 1080p, so if you do, then the CPU is fine.

AEP Recognized As LGBT-Friendly Employer By Human Rights Campaign Foundation
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) has been recognized for its commitment to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workplace equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. AEP received a score of 80 out of 100 on the Foundation's 2014 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies, benefits and practices for members of the LGBT community.
"AEP is dedicated to supporting its LGBT community and is honored to have earned an 80 on the 2014 Corporate Equality Index," said Nicholas K. Akins, AEP president and chief executive officer. "We are committed to fostering a workplace in which we respect one another and embrace our differences so that all employees can find their work rewarding and bring their best to their respective jobs."
The 2014 CEI rated a total of 734 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community.
AEP supports its LGBT employees by offering benefits to same-sex couples and families. AEP also provides families with adoption assistance, reimbursing employees up to $3,000 per child for eligible adoption-related expenses and providing up to 40 hours of paid leave for new adoptive parents. In addition, AEP's Pride Partnership facilitates networking and mentoring for LGBT employees, contractors and their allies. The Pride Partnership also collaborates with the broader LGBT community and supports community initiatives and activities.The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is the educational arm of America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5.3 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, a 40,000-mile network that includes more 765 kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP's transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP's utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas).

TV critic chooses her top 5 fall TV shows
TV critic chooses her top 5 fall TV shows
Airing: 8 p.m. Thursdays, ABC.
Premieres: Sept. 27.
Every year, there's at least one show that based on a single episode doesn't make my top tier, only to turn out to be a favorite. (Last year, it was "Revenge.")
So although these shows haven't totally won me over, my mind's still open on these (and yes, even on "The Mob Doctor"):
ABC's "666 Park Avenue." Another possibility for "Lost" fans (and maybe for "American Horror Story" devotees), this one stars Terry O'Quinn of "Lost" and Vanessa Williams of "Desperate Housewives" as the owners of a Manhattan apartment house straight out of "Rosemary's Baby." Dave Annable ("Brothers & Sisters") and Rachael Taylor ("Transformers") play a young couple who are lured into a well-appointed hell by a rent-free apartment.
Airing: 10 p.m. Sundays, ABC.
Premieres: Sept. 30, ABC.
CBS' "Vegas." Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis ("The Shield") star in a drama from Nicholas Pileggi set in 1960s Las Vegas and loosely based on the experiences of Sheriff Ralph Lamb (Quaid). Chiklis plays a Chicago mobster who's out to take over the town.
Airing: 10 p.m. Tuesdays.
Premieres: Sept. 25, CBS.
Fox's "Ben and Kate." A close second to "The Mindy Project" for Fox's best new comedy, this odd-couple siblings show stars Dakota Johnson (the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) as Kate, an anxious single mom, and Nat Faxon (an actor who won a screenwriting Oscar for co-writing "The Descendants") as her far-too-laid-back brother, Ben. The pair have terrific chemistry, and I liked them a lot. I just haven't laughed much yet.
Airing: 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Fox.
Premieres: Sept. 25. (Already available on Hulu.com.)
NBC's "Revolution." Another possibility for "Lost" fans (most "Jericho" ones will already be there), "Revolution," from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions, is about a post-United States of America where the lights (and everything else electric) have been out for 15 years and the simpler life has proved not so simple. Probably worth seeing for Giancarlo Esposito ("Breaking Bad") as a very different kind of heavy.
Airing : 10 p.m. Mondays, NBC.
Premieres: Sept. 17.
CBS' "Made in Jersey." British actress Janet Montgomery ("Black Swan") plays a working-class Italian-American lawyer from New Jersey who goes to work for a fancy New York firm in this drama created by Moorestown, N.J., native Dana Calvo. Montgomery's Joisey accent could use some tamping down, but she has undeniable star power, and fans of "Unforgettable" and "Cold Case" might easily fall for another procedural with personality.
Airing: 9 p.m. Fridays, CBS.
Premieres: Sept. 28.

Credit Unions Would Lend More if the Politicians Would Allow It
Small-business lending is a hot-button issue given recent data showing that banks in the fourth quarter improved their rate of approval for loans under $1 million for the first time in 10 quarters by 0.4% to $586 billion, according to Call Report data by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
That includes increases by all loan size categories, including loans under $1 million, loans between $100,000 and $1 million and those under $100,000, boosted by lending from banks with at least $1 billion in assets, according to a report issued by the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy.
Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and other large-banking titans have been promoting their commitments to small-business lending.
And small banks are aggressively increasing their SBA lending, says Biz2Credit CEO Rohit Arora. Small-business loan approval rates by banks with less than $10 billion in assets reached a record high of 50.8% last month, according to Biz2Credit's monthly lending index.Small banks and credit unions typically compete for the same small business borrowers. On the other hand, March small-business loan approvals at credit unions are at a 10-month low. Loan approvals have fallen by one-fifth from a year earlier, Biz2Credit says. "As banks have returned to the small-business credit market, the better qualified loan seekers are applying to banks for funding, thereby leaving credit unions with riskier candidates," Arora said in a release on Wednesday. "For the credit unions to bounce back in small business lending, they must improve their technology and expedite the loan process." The biggest obstacle to getting Washington approval to raise the cap may come from the banking industry, specifically community banks which are worried about credit unions encroaching on their small-business turf. Not only are community banks concerned about market share, but they also argue that credit unions should play on the level field as they do, specifically referring to the entities' non-profit statuses, meaning they are exempt from federal income taxes, as well as exemption from certain financial regulation, such as the Community Reinvestment Act.

Our research is at the intersection of Chemistry, Physics and Biology. We ask questions that will help us to learn the basic design and functional principles behind the structure and function of biological molecules and chemical reactions. Ultimately we would like to know why nature has chosen to shape her structures the way she has. "Why" questions, however, are very difficult to address, so we will begin by investigating how proteins work, how they interact with their surroundings, and how they interact with other proteins. This understanding would put us in a very powerful position to design, alter and manipulate chemical structure and reactivity in a rational way.
We are developing transition metal carbonyl vibrational probes to act as dynamics sensors in complex environments including glasses, nanocavities, proteins, membranes and heterogeneous photocatalysts.
Welcome to the Kubarych Group
We use ultrafast spectroscopy to watch chemical reactions as they happen
See our recent paper on protein hydration. Using a novel vibrational labeling approach, we can detect site-specific hydration dynamics.
