I've heard about this news in China, and it's really sad to see such things. However, another point I have to highlight here is that, the photo published within this report was not related to the black prison at all. It was shot near the east gate of Peking University, the most famous university in China. This is the reason why the weak choose to gather here to claim for protection of their rights. Maybe it will be better to find some photos of the real black prison, rather to use this one to make the audience confused. Thanks.
Christ, really?
This article shows how far is China from the rule of laws which are to be made to protect basic rights of the people. The rule of law in China is made for the corrupt officials. The officials exploit the people. You know how rich they are. From the top to the bottom of the government networks are run by rich officials who live for corruption not by their meagre salary. There is a Chinese saying that
when a house master is hired by a government
even his dogs and chickens climb to the heaven
to be a govenment official is so attractive throughout their 3000 years of history, i.e. corruption paradise.
people has no laws to prtect them so they try to go to see the top in Peking,
this is not communism but traditional feudalism. If they succeed to meet an understanding guy, they are happy. But as the TE story tells, mostly end up in a labour camp..
What a GREAT country China is as the 50 cents posters praise here.
I suspect the disparity in the numbers comes from the inherent difficulty of fully accounting for every person in China that is "jailed", as their definition is quite different than the rest of the civilized world's.
In the US, every person in jail had a trial, and was found guilty by a impartial jury, presided over by a popularly elected judge, was defended by a lawyer, all of which happen under the guise of rigorously enforced constitutional freedoms that favor the defendant.
In China, atleast according to this article (although the body of evidence is indeed large and historical), citizens are regularly detained against their will, sent to labor camps, etc etc all without these protections I outlined above, and I seriously doubt the government is being honest about everyone they have detained, especially without trial, while it's a matter of public record in the US.
I agree that the US is overly zealous about locking people up for victimless crimes especially, but comparing the US to China in this regard to let China off the hook for these abuses is horrifying.
I agree the U.S. has a serious issue with over-incarceration - predominately due to the flawed Drug War.
But how does that excuse this reprehensible political-repression jail system in China?
As for locking up people for fraud - yes, I am very aware that Chinese citizens guilty of fraud don't get prison sentences. Heck, the government even goes so far as to protect them from any form of investigation - just talk to the tens of thousands of foreign investors who lost billions of dollars investing in mainland Chinese stock frauds. Not one of the Chinese fraudsters has been indicted by the Chinese "Justice" sytem.
Apparently, they are too busy locking up protesters....
From this article, China's black jails look somewhat like for-profit private jails in the U.S. The Chinese government should do the right thing by assigning case managers to handle these cases. The central government can even send investigation teams to the local government. I suspect that the money spent on these will be far less than the money wasted by local governments on setting up black jails in Beijing and provincial capitals. These will also reduce the petitioners aggravations instead of stoking it more.
"Treating the symptoms".
You betcha.
The fundamental cause is the underneath antiquated Chinese mentality that their grievances are caused by the goons of the emperor while the emperor still is a symbol of justice.
When will the Chinese people finally free themselves from their deep rooted wishful thinking and start to treat themselves as equal human beings as anyone else?
Yes, equal human beings.
Because we are a nation of laws, which are enforced. The police and the courts cannot let someone go simply because they believe the law to be unjust.
I believe its overly zealous because I believe the law should be changed. Believing Laws should be changed, and also being supportive of a Lawful society are two different concepts.
The US definitely does confine in jails people that have committed victimless crimes if you include drug trafficking, organized prostitution, and other crimes of that nature. Those at home confinements are usually reserved for things like fraud or being caught with small amounts of drugs, or after being released on parole after serving several years of the total sentence in an actual jail.
I agree. I used to live in that neighborhood (as an exchange student) and that building on the left is most definitely on the Peking University campus.
"Tens of thousands of people arrive in Beijing every year to petition the central government, seeking redress for local injustices ranging from land seizures to police brutality. In the capital they are often detained by police and beaten. "
¿Is it me or when you read the arcticle one thinks that tens of thousand of people are sistematically beaten" in Beijing and that the capital is a land of horror and cruelty? I know the articles says "often" so they don´t really say "all of them are beaten"...
.Anyway, without knowing the facts of the story I have the feeling this is just another piece of american cold war+TE manipulating crap journalism. Again.
I just can't fully believe TE anymore. Pitty.
You know what the problem is? It's because there is no Peoples Court or Judge Judy in China. People have to settle all their disputes and grievances, major or frivolous, all the way to the top. It's a proud tradition of Chinese people and a not-so-proud practice of those officials who want to keep everything under the rug.
It doesn't look like the "Han man" does either.
The words"Majialou"without any tone makes me guess many times,where and how to pronounce? there are 4096(fourth power of 2 x fourth power of 2 x fourth power of 2) kinds of combinations at least.马家楼,or 马甲楼 or 马佳楼,or others?
It's about time! Godwins law strikes again!
The goverment never try to solve the social problems ,they just wish petitioners as well as the social problems would vanish as time goes by,eventually they have to pay the price for what they have done ,and they will pay!!
Since there is no rule of laws in China in the sense of the western standard, black jail is not illegal. If it is ellegal, it would be closed immediately even in China. But then is it legal? This is a question since there is no rule of laws in China. The Chinese in general do not have the sense of observing laws. If they have it, they should have less problems with food poisoning, organ trafficking, water pollution, air pollution and first and the foremost the corruption.
You must be Chinese if you know that there are lots of petitioners in China. Then you must know that there are millions of people in the labour camps all over China. They are detained without charges. They are detained without trials.
China is still a prison country.
No laws rule the corrupt officials and the CCP.
And to clearify it, the man in uniform is not a police, but a guard belonging to a company or a university.
Yes, "somewhat like." I'll accept that appropriately hedged modifier. But there is no analogue in America for this human rights catastrophe. The problem with private jails in America is solely the higher incidence of escapes.
94 patriotic comments on "Chinese law enforcement Live television and dead men walking", and 5 on "Urban Stability Treating the symptoms" , as at 12.30 London time.
Stark contrast. And clear, although circumstantial, evidence pointing to the censorship busy at work. No one seems willing to come forward and deny the black jail as fabrication by the Economist or say US is as bad or worse (except one instance citing Guantanamo,
typical apple-orange comparison probably coming from an Umao), while any comments building on the black jail or its background as a fact are erased or self- censored.

The Hamburg S?d Group said revenues increased to around 3.19 billion euros ($4.35 billion) in 2006, a gain of 5.2 percent from the previous year, as container volumes jumped 21 percent to 1.84 million TEUs.
The German company said container revenues of $3.67 billion, which accounted for 85 percent of total revenues, increased by only 8 percent as freight rates came under pressure in most of its services.
It said the decline in freight rates experienced since mid-2005 has come to a halt in most of its trades. "Since mid-2006 earnings gains have been made, though without reaching the level of previous years," it said in the earnings statement.
Profits from its liner division fell below 2005, but were "in line with expectations" because of the increase in costs and decline in rates. It did not release profit figures.
"Since cash flow reached the planned level, 2006 can be described as still satisfactory from the viewpoint of our shipping group," the statement said.
Its core trade lanes from Europe, North America and Asia to South America's East Coast recorded "very pleasing market growth." Exports from Brazil, however, were damped by the hefty revaluation of the Brazilian real, which made exports barely competitive in many markets.
Growth in its traditionally strong reefer trade from Brazil and Argentina fell below expectations, and was worsened by outbreaks of bird flu and hoof-and-mouth disease.
Hamburg S?d said all trade lanes to South America's East Coast suffered from substantial overcapacity, which led in part to sharp declines in freight rates, particularly in the off-peak season. As a result, many carriers, including Hamburg S?d, streamlined their services in the latter months of the last calendar year, adjusting capacity to cargo volume.
It said trade routes between South America's West Coast, Europe and North America also displayed "quite pleasing development." Market volume from Asia grew yet again, by around 20 percent, although freight rates came under considerable pressure at times due to even sharper increases in capacity.
Hamburg S?d in 2006 launched its Trident Service linking Europe, North America's East Coast and Australia/New Zealand. It switched the service from a fortnightly to a weekly frequency at the beginning of 2007 and boosted the number of vessels deployed from the original six, to twelve 2,500-TEU ships with high reefer capacity.
The group said its experienced significant increases in volume in the service between the U.S. West Coast and Australia/New Zealand as a result of the takeover of cross trades operated by Fesco of Russia. The same held true for the services between Asia and Australia/New Zealand. The Australia/New Zealand region more than doubled its throughput.
Slot capacity of container vessels deployed in liner services grew by just 1 per cent, to 201,000 TEUs, a result of service rationalization. Due to the reduction in the share of smaller units, the number of container ships fell by two, to 88.
Hamburg S?d Group's fleet, including 51 bulk carriers and product tankers, comprised 139 vessels at the end of 2006, down from 146 in 2005. The number of group-owned vessels was unchanged at 27. Container inventory grew to 258,000 units, up 20 percent.
The group said it aims to increase its share of ships and containers, so its capital investment remained at high levels in 2006.
Half of its investment covered payments on six Bahia-class, 3,750-TEU vessels ordered in 2005 and on 10 reorders for Monte-class ships of 5,500 to 5,900 TEUs, to be delivered by the end of 2008. Forty-five percent of spending was allocated to the expansion of the container pool, especially reefer containers.

WILLIAMSVILLE—Erie Community College officials unveiled a memorial plaque and details of a scholarship fund established in memory of former student and campus public safety officer Frederick Garrasi at a ceremony on Thursday, July 11th inside ECC's North Campus Law Enforcement Training Academy.
Garrasi—a beloved 2010 ECC grad who split time between City Campus security duty and work as a Town of Evans police officer—died in a traffic accident last May. The Frederick Garrasi III Memorial Scholarship Fund will honor the ECC alum's memory and dedicated service to the college; provide two $500 scholarships per year; and will be awarded to future Law Enforcement Training Academy pre-employment students who enroll in the college's certificate program.
"This established fund will pay proper tribute to Mr. Garrasi and his family," said ECC President Jack Quinn. "He was taken from us far too soon, but memory of his service will live on through this tribute. He truly represented the best of our college.
As an ECC student, Garrasi maintained a 3.25 GPA and was also a member of the college's track team. Before serving on his Town of Evans police force, he also served the town as a lifeguard and Eagle Scout. Memory of this involvement can now be recalled through a plaque and portrait of Garrasi, unveiled during the morning's ceremony and mounted in memoriam inside the college's Bretschger Hall-located academy. According to Jack McDonnell, ECC's associate vice president of College Safety and Security, the plaque will introduce incoming students and security employees of the standard set by Garrasi.
"It was an honor to have had Fred as a student and an employee at ECC," said McDonnell. "This memorial and scholarship fund will serve as a reminder to all future LETA pre-employee candidates of what kind of a model student and campus public safety officer Mr. Garrasi was."
For donor interest or further details about the Frederick Garrasi III Memorial Scholarship Fund, please visit the ECC Foundation at www.ecc.edu/alumnifoundation/foundation, or call (716) 851-1990.
Since 1946, Erie Community College has met the needs of a diverse student body while contributing to the economic vitality of Western New York. As a member of the state's SUNY system, the three-campus college provides flexible, affordable and accessible educational programs in an accommodating academic environment. Equipped with the knowledge of these programs, ECC's faculty, staff and students strive to enrich their host communities through skill, service and partnership

For months, you've been keeping a tight eye on Washington. The healthcare debate has your attention, and you've got definite opinions.
You've also got questions. How would reform affect you and your family? Would insurance be cheaper or more costly, better or worse? And how would it affect your wallet when your taxes are used to insure the uninsured?
Before you dwell on that last concern, read "Medicine in Translation" by Danielle Ofri. On this thorny issue, you may have already made up your mind. After reading her book, you may change it.
Every Monday after lunchtime, Dr. Ofri has an appointment with someone whose injuries are unimaginable. Registered with the Survivors of Torture program, these patients have seen devastating horrors, and their scars run far deeper than the physical.
There was Samuel, the victim of an acid attack. Mohammad, who felt imprisoned in the Land of the Free. A man threatened with death because he's gay. Another who witnessed the disemboweling of an Iraqi imam from Flushing whose brothers had been buried alive by Saddam Hussein. Victims of political or cultural wars, displaced from homeland and family. Ofri says her colleagues care for these patients, too, but each doctor sees just one or two a week; any more would be too hard.
As a physician at Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital, Ofri cares for more than just Survivors of Torture patients. Julia Barquero, a woman with devastating health issues, arrived in New York by walking through Guatemala. Elderly Dr. Chan left his frail, Alzheimer's-stricken wife in America when he returned to China, figuring she'd forget him soon anyhow. Juan Moreno, like many foreign-born patients, declined to participate in medical decision-making, preferring that someone in a position of authority make the call.
Most of Ofri's patients speak English, more or less, but some require translators. More frustrating is the unknown: does someone legitimately need medication or is he dealing it?
Stressed and not wanting her children to grow up with a single-language handicap, Ofri seized the opportunity of a one-year sabbatical in Costa Rica. But when she learned she was pregnant, she also learned that language barriers can be overcome and that health care is not the same around the world.
Timely, beautiful and heartbreaking, "Medicine in Translation" couldn't have been published at a better time.
The author is the child of immigrants, and writes with sensitivity, poignancy and a shot of humor. Her ability to tease stories gently from people who would really rather forget is remarkable, and her style, which weaves her own journey in with the journeys of her patients, is delightful. I shuddered while reading this book, I smiled and I can't wait for her next one.

The grizzly 350 has been a great atv. I've had mine about 4 mos. You can't compare this atv to a big bore machine. It has great handling and ride. While driving slow the cooling fan runs nonstop. Perhaps a radiator would be a good addition to new models.
had it for a year moves snow mows the lawn and any other task i ask of it, also is fun to tear around on.
just purchased a 350irs and really enjoy it! It has a alot of tourqe and will go through or over most everthing! On the fly 4 wheel is great and has come in handy already. A little dissatisfied with take off, a little slow off the throttle. I reverse, going up hill the Grizzle tends to bog down and slip the rear tires. Light weight makes for easy trail riding and maneuverability.

Madison renewable contractor hired to build Utah wind farm
RMT Inc. of Madison started construction Monday on the Blue Mountain Wind Project in Utah.
The Madison renewable energy construction and engineering services firm is building the 80-megawatt project under a contract announced by Greenbriar Capital Corp., the developer.
RMT was also the contractor on two other Greenbriar-affiliated projects, a 120-megawatt Windstar Wind development in California and the Arizona project known as Kingman, the first renewable energy project in the country to combine wind and solar. That project has a capacity of 10.5 megawatts.
Owned until late last year by Madison-based Alliant Energy Corp., RMT is a subsidiary of IEA Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives of Chicago.

Lime Energy Receives Additional Time To Comply With Minimum Bid Price Requirement
Lime Energy Co. (NASDAQ: LIME) today announced that, On March 1, 2013, Lime Energy Co. (NASDAQ: LIME ) (the "Company") received a second compliance notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") Market indicating that it has not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). However, the NASDAQ staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 day grace period, or until August 26, 2013, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This additional 180 day period relates exclusively to the bid price deficiency. The Company may be delisted during the 180 days for failure to maintain compliance with any other listing requirements for which it is currently on notice or which occurs during this period. NASDAQ's determination to grant the additional 180 day period was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The Company can regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days; NASDAQ, however, in its discretion, may require that the Company maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.
If compliance cannot be demonstrated by August 26, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

RackForce Delivers Cloud-Based Communications Solution Powered By Mitel
KELOWNA, British Columbia and OTTAWA, Aug. 27, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Building on its highly reliable infrastructure and ICT services, RackForce Networks has partnered with Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW) to offer cloud-based communications and collaboration services to address the unique requirements of private business and public sector organizations in Canada.

5 Ways Journalists Can Use Pinterest
Does Pinterest, the year old digital pinboard site, have value as a tool for journalists?
The site's gained a lot of traction in the social media world recently. It cracked the top 10 most trafficked social network sites, with 11 million visitors during the second full week of December, according to Hitwise. The site's main users tend to be brides-to-be, people interested in home decor and lifestyle magazines, such as Better Homes and Gardens. I haven't, however, seen a lot of news organizations using it.
Don't get me wrong. They are there. Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and the Today Show have some boards up as does Mashable and the Daily Beast. Individual reporters may also be "pinners," as users are called, but it's a bit hard to search for them. There are also users who create boards called "news" and pin news stories to them. Generally speaking, it just doesn't seem like a lot of journalists and news organizations are in any hurry to use Pinterest for the news.
Part of the problem is that at first glance, Pinterest doesn't seem incredibly relevant for hard news. The news orgs that are on it cater to lifestyle and health, creating boards mainly focusing on those topics. (Take a look at the WSJ's boards.) With a bit of creativity and imagination, however, Pinterest could prove very useful for all areas of a news organization. If you are thinking about using Pinterest, just remember the site is still invite-only.
Without further delay, here are five ways reporters and news organizations can use Pinterest. Read more

This discussion was first published on Dec 2 2010 as part of the 2011 Red List update, but remains open for comment to enable reassessment in 2013. Link to BirdLife species factsheet for Oaxaca Sparrow Oaxaca Sparrow Aimophila notosticta is currently listed as Near Threatened under criterion B1a+b(i,ii,iii,v), on the basis that it has a moderately small range, which is probably in decline owing to habitat loss and degradation. This species's Extent of Occurrence was recently estimated at 39,300 km2 which does not approach the threshold for Vulnerable under the B1 criterion; however, the species's status has been maintained at Near Threatened as a precautionary approach. Partners in Flight estimated the population to number fewer than 50,000 birds (A. Panjabi in litt. 2008), so it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 individuals. Significant tracts of habitat remain, but are under pressure from cutting of vegetation for timber and firewood, and clearance for cattle-ranching, thus a decline in the species's range is suspected, although there is apparently no direct evidence of a population decline. Further details on this species's likely population size, current trend over 11 years (estimate of three generations) and the severity of threats are required to clarify its threat status, thus comments are invited on these matters. The following document was sent by Pronatura on 16 February 2012: Aimophila notosticta Pronatura Feb12

Kent Leiss, pictured above, will not return as Coeur d'Alene High's boys basketball coach this season.
Click the tab below to read my unedited story for Tuesday's newspaper.
By Greg Lee
firstname.lastname@example.com, (509) 844-8168
Keint Leiss said Monday he will not return as the
He resigned on Feb. 1, two days after a group of disgruntled parents met with administrators to complain about their sons being verbally abused by Leiss and a volunteer assistant.
After thinking about his decision, Leiss asked to rescind his resignation last Wednesday.
Leiss, 49, who was in his 10th season at CdA, met for 30 minutes with school district officials Monday. He was told an investigation would take place and be concluded by March 4, the next scheduled board meeting.
Leiss said he wants an opportunity to clear his name.
"My No. 1 goal wasn't to get the job back this season; it was to clear my name," Leiss said. "It's probably better for my team that I don't come back. They don't need me to come in and spoil the apple cart before the (regional) tournament starts Friday."
CdA was 10-7 overall when Leiss stepped down. The Viks (12-8), who are being coached on an interim basis by former
Leiss' record at CdA is 140-91. His overall record in 24 seasons is 328-216.

Advice for a hopeful nursing student
- 0May 12, '13 by unicorn86Hi everyone. I am new to the site. I know this question probably gets asked alot. I am currently finishing up basics and applying to nursing school. Do you all have any recommended books/flashcards , practice tests that I could start doing? I just want to get a head start. Any advoce you can give me I would really appreciate it so much. Thank you and sorry to ask a question im sure is posted on here alot.
- 0May 12, '13 by msnursecpI just got accepted into the nursing school! I was just like you, wanting to get a head start but I have been told to just relax and enjoy this time that I do have to sleep and hang out with family and friends because once you're in the program, all of that is over! LOL! So I would say do a little reading but don't stress your self out just yet!
- 0May 13, '13 by omw2helpWhen I was applying to school, I wanted to get a head start on the material too, just to stay motivated! What I ended up doing was asking current students what textbook they used for nursing fundamentals and ordered a used version online. Fundamentals of Nursing will be one of the first classes you take at any program. I recommend a used version because you never know if the school you are going to will soon be switching to a new edition, plus the "old" content will still be relevant. Good luck to you and stay positive!
- 0May 13, '13 by zoe92I start nursing school in the fall... I ordered a few books from Amazon to read this summer (Mosby's Tour Guide to Nursing School by Melodie Chenevert, Critical Thinking & Clinical Judgement by Rosalinda Alfaro, Dosage Calculations by Gloria Pickar & How to Survive (and Maybe Even Love) Nursing School by Kelli Dunham. I am also going to go over my A & P too. Good luck!Last edit by zoe92 on May 13, '13 : Reason: spelling
- 0May 13, '13 by hunnybunchesWell since my class start day was pushed from the 3rd to this Friday they sent us a "pre nursing packet" that consisted of a COUPLE HUNDRED "intro to medical terminolgy" words complete with definitions (of course) and math problems. So I would say become familiar with any and all medical terminology and know the metric system and fractions inside and out.
- 0May 13, '13 by SopranoKrisMy favorite A&P review site is: Anatomy and Physiology Learning Modules - CEHD - U of MThere's also a nifty "Search" function at the top of the AllNurses.com website. Search for flash cards, study tips, helpful links, etc. You'll find a wealth of information
Best of luck to you as you start your journey

Razer Tron gaming mouse now shipping
Geeks and Tron go together like peanut butter and jelly. PC gamers know that Razer makes some of the coolest and best gaming peripherals on the market and when Razer unveiled the cool Tron branded gaming gear a while back a lot of geeks sat up and took notice. Razer has now announced that the cool Tron gaming mouse is shipping.
If you don't recall this mouse, it has the same sort of graphics with blue lines all over it that the Tron work in the new flick has. It also has sound effects from the movie integrated with the mouse and uses a 3.5G laser sensor. That laser sensor has sensitivity up to 5600 dpi and the mouse uses an ambidextrous design.

Digital Storm launches Sub-Zero Liquid chilled gaming rig
The geeks around these parts slant to the more hardcore than geeks that might normally be looking at gaming PCs from Digital Storm. Most of us probably roll our own rigs, but there are times when machines offered out of a box ready to go have their appeal. This is one of those times. Digital Storm has unveiled a new gaming rig called the Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled system. The machine uses liquid cooling on the CPU and some of the other hardware inside.
The liquid cooling system isn't just a radiator and a couple water blocks crammed inside one of the gaming rigs the company already offered either. The machine uses a liquid cooling system that has liquid that is chilled to under 0C using peltier tech. Around these parts peltier tech is something many will be familiar with, but the general PC gaming geek might not be.

Poll Results - Are you going to buy Microsoft Kinect?
Over 1,000 people voted on our previous poll and we asked you about Microsoft's newest and widely popular addition to the Xbox 360, the Kinect sensor.
Microsoft has stated that it will ship a staggering five million Kinect units by the end of the year and is already on track by shipping more than one million so far.
Are TweakTown readers going to contribute? According to our poll, only 15% of you said you are going to buy a Kinect sensor. That won't help Microsoft's lofty goal now, will it people?
A huge 63% of TweakTown readers voted that they are not interested in buying Kinect and 18% haven't heard of Kinect.
For the actual numbers, go here. In our latest poll, we want to know, are you going to upgrade to the Intel Sandy Bridge platform? Let us know! Please go here to vote!

Valve delays the release of Portal 2, sprinkles some humor on it
I'm not really meant to post gaming news, but games like Deus Ex and Portal 2 are too big to not post... so I hope you enjoy reading it here at TweakTown! Valve have delayed the hotly anticipated physics nut busting Portal 2 by 4 months, but... they've spun it into something funny.
The news was from a press release titled "VALVE ANNOUNCES MAKING GAMES IS HARD". Now, obviously they've hit a brick wall and can't get it out any quicker, and because Portal guns don't exist in real life (yet) they can't just shoot their way out of this one.

OnLive Game System up for pre-order right now
I will admit that I was excited at the prospect of OnLive when I first heard about it. Once I learned more about the system and realized that you had to pay monthly to access the OnLive network and still buy the video games, I wasn't nearly as interested in the service. I have tried OnLive and in my instance, it had some lag and the graphics weren't as good as some stand-alone games I have on my gaming PC, but it was certainly playable.
If you are a fan of OnLive, you can now pre-order the OnLive Game system that lets you hook OnLive to your TV in the living room and play some of the coolest games you can get on PCs and consoles from the comfort of your couch. The downside for gamers used to a PC is that you have to play using a gamepad that looks like the standard PS3 arrangement.

RumorTT: PSP2 dev kit pics?
Well, well Sony - I clap in your general direction. There are pics out from an early Sony PSP2 development kit. Is it just me or do the pics (in their blurry quality) feel like an ultrasound when you have a baby on the way (having done this just months ago myself, with the arrows pointing to different parts of the babies growing body) but anyway! Pics!
Just like a growing baby - the PSP2 is in early stages yet obviously - but from these pictures obviously taken with a 45 year old camera, it looks to have a HD screen, two cameras (front and rear), microphone, two thumbsticks and a rear "trackpad".

- Imaging equipment, insulin pumps, defibrillators and refrigerators that store blood and drugs are examples of networked gear that have remote access control features.
- The devices' software is plagued by common security holes like weak passwords, lack of authentication to access, easy-to-determine default and hard-coded passwords and embedded web servers and administrative interfaces that make it easy to identify and manipulate devices once found on the network.
- Hospital are apparently just waking up to the potential risks.
- Last spring, the FDA and DHS issued a notice to the health care industry about problems with hard-coded passwords after researchers found issues in ~300 devices.

- The FDA proposes an "Expedited Access PMA" (EAP) process for medical devices that treat or diagnose patients with serious conditions whose medical needs are unmet by current technology. The program features earlier and more interactive participation by agency staff to collaboratively develop a plan for the collection of the scientific and clinical data to support approval. The EAP aims to reduce certain devices' development times in addition to the expected shortened premarket review.
- Eligible devices must fit the following profile: 1) be intended to treat or diagnose a life-threatening or irreversibly-debilitating disease or condition and 2) represent one of the following: no approved alternative treatment/diagnostic exists or it represents a breakthrough technology that provides a clinically meaningful advantage over existing technology or offers a significant clinically meaningful advantage over currently-available alternatives or the device's availability is in the patient's best interest.
- The proposed EAP builds on the Expedited Access Program for pharmaceuticals that the FDA launched in 2011.

- Scientists create patient-specific cell lines from the skin cells of two adult men in a procedure called somatic cell nuclear transfer demonstrating that the technique can work for people of all ages. The embryonic cells are genetically identical to the donor and have profound therapeutic potential.
- The cloning procedure is difficult, however. Only one in thirty-nine attempts was successful.
- In therapeutic cloning, a jolt of electricity fuses a grown cell (e.g. skin cell) with an ovum whose DNA has been removed. After ~5 days of dividing and multiplying it develops into a hollow sphere-shaped embryo. The interior cells are pluripotent stem cells which can develop into many different kinds of cells. The goal is to coax them to develop into specialized cells for therapeutic purposes.
- Complicating the ability to create patient-specific cell lines for millions of people are women's reticence over donating eggs, a sometimes painful process. Widespread donations may not be ultimately necessary since many people have genetically similar immune systems so 100 human embryonic stem cell lines would match over 50% of the U.S. population according to the co-author of the study, Dr. Robert Lanza.

- In a novel cancer study funded with $42M by Cancer Research UK, scientists will test up to 14 different cancer drugs at the same time within one clinical trial. The objective is to identify the most effective treatments for advanced lung cancer by targeting specific rare genetic mutations.
- The new approach will select a range of drugs for a specific patient instead of designing a study around a specific drug. In a profound change it eliminates randomization, the hallmark of clinical trial design.
- Some mutations occur on only 1% - 2% of patients so the traditional method of clinical trial design is too expensive, time-consuming and inefficient.
- AstraZeneca (AZN) will supply up to twelve experimental drugs that will be given to patients who do not show one of twenty-one sets of genetic abnormalities.
- Pfizer (PFE) will supply its lung cancer drug Xalkori plus the experimental breast cancer drug palbociclib.
- About 15-20 patients will be involved in the trial. Those drugs that show no benefit will be quickly dropped while those showing efficacy will be fast-tracked into larger-scale testing.

Frame Rating: AMD Improves CrossFire with Prototype Driver
Crysis 3
Crysis 3 (DirectX 11)
Master the power of the Nanosuit. Armor, Speed, Strength and the ability to cloak are the ingredients of the most effective tactical combat armor ever created. Suit up! It's all yours in Crysis 3.
First results with the new driver are identical to the first numbers from the 13.5 beta drivers.
Well look at that, another great result for the new prototype driver from AMD - the new results from the FRAPS and the observed frame rate are nearly identical. And compared to the orange line from our initial review there appear to be no runt frame issues!
The frame times are indicative of the changes with the prototype driver changes - the black line is much more consistent than the orange line though not quite up to the levels of the GTX 690.
Much like we saw with the Battlefield 3 results the revised driver on the HD 7990 is completely changing the performance aspects of the card. The average frame rate of 36 FPS is higher than the 34 FPS of the GTX 690 and the 25 FPS of the GTX Titan.
Our frame time variance data shows the changes in another light - while there are still some instances of 5 ms over the 90th percentile it is significantly improved over our 13.5 beta results.
And now for some video evidence of this new driver in action, I present a side-by-side comparison! For the best viewing, be sure to download the original 60 FPS MP4 file though you might still be able to see the differences in the Flash-based 30 FPS YouTube embeds.
Download the 250MB MP4 from Mega.co.nz
Reports from most users are telling us that you NEED to download these files for a solid comparison!
Crysis 3 - 13.5 beta vs Prototype 2 Comparison
What about 120 hz monitors.with a 120 hz output i suppose results should be better, since shorter frames would be visualized in a single refresh cycle instead of create tearing
Have you asked them about all the tearing?
Obviously the fluidity of the game play is significantly improved, however it seems like tearing is much worse.
BF3 was tearing the entire time it seemed.
What do you mean "tearing is much worse"?
"Tearing" is essential part of game playing experience. More tears - better experience.
I mean download the BF3 vid and watch for tearing at 50% and 20% speeds. Its bad, and i would definitely argue that tearing like in this example is degrading the game experience.
Well, the thing is that you either have vsync on preventing the tearing or you have max framerate.
The issue with vsync is that your performance will have to be in direct relation to your displays frequency, so with a standard 60hz display your fps would either be 60, 30, 20, 15, 12, 10... and with a 120hz display you would have 120, 60, 40, 30, 24, 20, 17.14, 15, 10.91, 10 ....
With vsync on WYSIWYG, meaning that the shown and perceived framerate is identical as each time a full frame will be shown, so no "runt" will ever exist.
After saying all this i now notice that you didn't understand properly the problem discussed with multigpu setups, look at the "monitor output by dual gpus" graphic and notice that the frame metered solution doesn't show a full frame because of it's nature, what it does is that the ammount of frame shown from each gpu is cut to be aproximately of the same size, and this more homogeneization of frame time is what gives fluidity to the experience.
would this be same for Hd 7970 crossfire? if so i'm going upgrade to them xD
Kudos due where its due. Great review.
Unlike Hardocp who didn't even mention the prototype driver and slammed the 7990 in its current driver state, atleast pcper mentioned the future fix, and they even went further showing results in a seperate review. Thats about as fair as you can be.
Even though this driver will be years late for non vsync xfire users (vsync + rp dfc fixed this issue long ago for me), but better late than never for those who game without that configuration and really one of nvidias biggest multi gpu advantages is about to dissapear , as results even this early are very encouraging.
i think that you didn't understand very well the issue...first of all indeed it's not only a crossfire issue, the new drivers will fix everything about the frame generation, after that the frame is put into the frame buffer from the pipeline...so it will be also a single config improvement. And also the v-sync function will work better and it will benefit, as it's always related to the frame buffer, from which vsync pulls the frames from.
What was the average load power consumption with the prototype driver?
I would expect it to be lower, since a metered gpu setup could be doing only 50-60% of the work of an unmetered setup, as shown in the first page of the article.
I didn't test exactly, but it should be the same. We are rendering the same number of frames, they are just spaced differently.
You are rendering less frames, because the metered GPU will try not render any frames that will be runt (in a best case scenario).
In your example image, in page 1, the unmetered GPU will render ~6 frames per draw time vs ~4 frames on the metered GPU per draw time.
Instead of having both GPUs at 100% on an unmetered setup, the metered setup works more in tandem, which should reflect less power consumption. :)
Since the prototype driver is not effecting Fraps FPS much at all, it is not effecting total frames rendered much at all, and in return, the power usage is going to hardly be effected.
Frame metering doesn't require a lot of adjustments to work, at least in their current state, so I doubt there is much of a difference in power usage.
The prototype driver is affecting "Observed FPS".
The difference between drivers in "Observed FPS" can be used as an estimate for the amount of discarded or runt frames. The only way to eliminate those is by having one GPU wait until the other is almost done rendering a frame, a "tandem" setup. If you are having one GPU waiting, it's not consuming power.
You guys are looking at frame averages (fps) without looking at the frame distribution underneath. The prototype driver achieves the same fps numbers doing *less* work than the normal driver, since its *efficiency* is higher.
Looking at the frame variance charts, we can estimate the time each GPU is waiting in the prototype driver -- e.g., for BF3, each will wait around 10ms. In the same chart, we can see that the normal driver keeps both GPU always at 100%, that's why frames vary ~[0,20]ms.
So, not only does the normal driver spends time rendering frames that won't be seen, it renders them inconsistently.
Bottom line, from the moment a driver introduces any kind of time delay into the pipeline, there *has* to be reduced power usage, since Watt equals to Joule/second.
You should be using total FPS from Fraps, when talking about the work the GPU does. It doesn't matter if it is a runt or not, the GPU still rendered the whole frame. It just gets overwritten by the 2nd GPU's image. In terms of power usage, Fraps has the more accurate picture.
In terms of what we find useful, that is where Observable FPS comes into play.
Yes, you are correct! :) The unmetered vs metered pic on the first page of the article is misleading and led me to believe there could be more delays introduced than there really are.
As you said, and is shown by total fps from fraps, both setups are rendering the same amount of frames (so, doing the same work), the metered setup just has a different "starting point" (see my comment below).
Still, I guess most of the time the power consumption between both (metered vs unmetered) will be equal, as when rendering a constant framerate both GPUs will be at 100% usage with one starting rendering when the other has its frame ~50% complete.
Only when there are more complex scenes where the framerate starts dipping (more time to render each frame) there is a need to pause one of the GPUs untill the other is at ~50% frame completion. The reverse case is also an interesting conundrum. :)
You guys have been doing such an impressive work. Hands down...
Are you guys able to get 120hz through your testing setup with reduced blanking?
From what I understand, saving the data from a 60hz run, requires a RAID 0 setup with SSD's, otherwise the storage can't keep up. I believe THG required 5 SSD's in RAID 0 just to be able to store the data fast enough so they can analyze it later.
I'm guessing there are technical roadblocks for 120hz to be analyzed like this. The FCAT card may also not be capable of taking in data that fast either.
Is there anyway to get a hold of the prototype driver?
I don't want to give you a big head or anything, but might you have helped AMD with a vital bit of debugging/testing that they never thought of? What does this do to 3x 7970s? I also want to know if they will backport the update to 6870/6970/6990s if this is possible. If you can do anything else like this to give them more data to help out AMD card users, we will be eternally grateful, though I'm not sure NVidia will be happy about it.
I've read another review about 7990's performance, FCAT, prototype driver, etc, basically the same thing, although there was something i noticed.
In their benchmarks the hardware (FRAPS) FPS was also quite bigger for the prototype d. compared to the basic catalyst 7990. While for the observable FPS this difference is easy understandable, i found no explanation for the extra FPS.
Prototype driver just "arranges" the frames in a smoother way, but why it appears to produce more frames?
The review is on Tom's hardware. You can notice that there are a lot of differences in frames rates (both observable and FRAPS) between the 7990's prot. driver and normal one.

it is possible to compare a video of a 690 vs. 7990
I installed my 7990 last night and went straight to BF3...Frame Rates sucked! I was expecting much more from this card. I am reading where it is a driver issue and that the driver to fix these issues should have been released already. Is it out? How do I fix this issue so I get the card to work better than the GTX 570 I used to have??

(Update with closing share price in third paragraph.)
Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- JetBlue Airways Corp. fell the most in two weeks after Chief Financial Officer Ed Barnes resigned ahead of the carrier's earnings report.
Barnes's departure, effective immediately, was announced after the stock market closed yesterday. The resignation was a "personal decision" that had been planned for some time, said Mateo Lleras, a spokesman for New York-based JetBlue.
The exit so close to JetBlue's Oct. 26 third-quarter results report raises questions about the circumstances, James M. Higgins, a Ticonderoga Securities LLC analyst, said in a report today. The shares dropped 6.7 percent to $4.32 at the close in New York.
JetBlue offered assurances "that there are no accounting or other irregularities," said Higgins, who recommends buying the stock. "Such a sudden and untimely departure of a senior officer may well lead to near-term weakness in JetBlue shares, but we have no reason to think there are problems that should concern shareholders."
Today's percentage drop in the shares was the biggest since Oct. 3. The stock has slid 35 percent this year, eighth-worst among the 10 carriers in the Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index.
The departure was amicable and Barnes, 46, "is going to pursue other professional interests," said Jenny Dervin, a JetBlue spokeswoman. Barnes declined requests for interviews through the company, she said.
Barnes was named interim CFO in 2007 during a series of management changes that included Dave Barger replacing company founder David Neeleman as chief executive officer. Barnes became the permanent finance chief the next year. He joined JetBlue in 2006 and also served as finance vice president and principal accounting officer.
Mark Powers, JetBlue treasurer and senior vice president, was named interim finance chief. Powers, 57, joined JetBlue in 2006 as treasurer and vice president for corporate finance.
