Laptops come in all shapes and sizes, and I'll just get to the point, the machine in this review is one of the biggest I've ever seen. This monster of a laptop comes loaded for bear, and it's most unique selling point is the use of a desktop CPU along with dual 100W TDP cards in CrossfireX (AMD) or SLI (nVidia). In this case a pair of 680m GPU's fill those slots. Pretty much everything else uses mobile components including RAM and 2.5" hard drives or SSD's. All this fits under the 17" screen form factor, so most of this added heft is in the thickness of the laptop. This is intended to be a portable desktop more or less.
Many thanks to Larry from LPC-Digital for providing the sample used for this review. Before I get into the details first I'll share the specs of this behemoth:

Users familiar with Sager and Clevo machines will instantly recognize a lot of the common features like the backlit keyboard, plain but elegant styling, dark brushed metal lid and palmrest typically featured on their larger notebooks, and touchpad with fingerprint reader. A few unique features standout however. These include a blue lit Sager logo on the lid, lit blue feature line between the touchpad and buttons, and glossy LED indicator bezel at the top of the unit above the keyboard.
Size and comparison with NP9150
Ports and Connections
Ports are located on the left, right, and front of the machine with nothing on the rear except the power jack. The reason for that is all the heat being pumped out the back from the four system fans (two for CPU, one for each GPU), leaves no room for anything else. A bulk of the connections reside on the left side of the chassis which is nice, in my opinion, keeping most of the cable clutter away from the mouse area. The left side ports include DVI, gigabit ethernet, HDMI, DisplayPort, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.0/eSATA combo port, and Firewire jack. Nestled below all these connectors is the optical drive, a Blu-Ray reader / DVDRW in this machine. The right side of the NP9570 includes a lock slot, subwoofer, two USB 2.0 ports, and four 1/8" audio jacks: headphone, microphone, optical, input. Along the front on the left is an ExpressCard 54 slot nicely disguised within the grille-like features, with a card reader below it. On the front right are just two indicator lights for power on and battery.
Images around the laptop:
Keyboard and Touchpad
On to the keyboard area. Above they keyboard is the LED indicator bar which houses most of the indicator lights you'd expect: BlueTooth, Wi-fi, camera, disk activity, num lock, caps lock, scroll lock. On the left is a volume indicator as well that gets longer the louder the audio. It almost looks like it should be a touch volume control, but it is not. Five speakers are housed behind this bezel, one on each side and three in the center up on the hinge area.
For the keyboard itself, it is a bit disappointing to see that it is their standard backlit one designed for 15 inch notebooks, so it doesn't make use of the extra width of the 17 inch form factor. The 15 inch keyboard isn't bad, just that it would have been nice to see a keyboard make use of the extra width of the laptop. To the left or right of it is just bezel with some dot pattern for styling. There are a few noted differences however on the keyboard. For one, the NP9150/NP9170 keyboard has the Fn key on the left side with the Windows key on the right. The placement of these keys is exact opposite on this machine. Like other Sager notebooks, the backlighting colors and brightness are configurable. For more detail see my earlier review of the NP9150 keyboard here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sage....html#keyboard
The blue LED lit Sager logo on the LCD lid and line on the touchpad cannot be switched on and off with they keyboard or otherwise. Just something to note since the light on the back of the lid can be quite bright in the dark.
The touchpad is centered below the qwerty portion of the keyboard, not the laptop width. Each of the buttons are independent with a firm click to engage, with a fingerprint reader embedded between the two buttons. A chrome ring surrounds the touchpad and buttons, with a lit blue feature line separating the touchpad from the buttons and fingerprint reader. While the size of the touchpad isn't smaller than many laptops, it looks a bit out of place considering its size compared to the rest of the laptop. But my thought is that the touchpad likely won't get used so much as a mouse, and a larger touchpad could be susceptible to accidental palm presses.
LCD Screen
The screen itself is a 17" glossy 90% gamut 1920x1080 resolution. The bezel is typical of Sager notebooks, not thin, but not thick. Of course Sager offers several different screen options to satisfy your needs. The lid folds open about 45 degrees past vertical. Viewing angles are pretty good as are contrast and brightness. There is a bit of backlight bleed noticed with complete black backgrounds, otherwise it's not noticeable. An odd item on the bezel is a flat area in the center of the bottom of the bezel that with a bright light indicates a small cube with "3D" inside of it. Perhaps this is a common bezel between 17" models with 3D screens. Although it seems Sager should change that so users aren't wondering what it is or what it means.
LCD Viewing Angles
Spoiler :
The LCD screen has been replaced by Sager with a 120Hz Matte LG LGD02C5 screen. The other screen had some undesirable backlight bleed, and Sager gracefully replaced it with this screen instead. While this system does not support 3D (yet) the screen is absolutely crisp, clear, no backlight bleed, and no dead pixels. Viewing angles are pretty good too. Here's some images of the screen and viewing angles:
Power Supply
Considering the NP9570 can be configured with a 130W (actually 150W in this case) CPU and dual 100W GPU's, Sager offers the option of dual 300W power supplies. They are nicely connected together by way of a small dual connector box that attaches to the four pin power connector on the back of the laptop. Power measurements from the wall are shown later to see if dual power supplies are necessary or should be considered, but I can say in a few instances, power consumption does well exceed 300W. You can of course use a single 300W power supply if desired, only it may limit performance, but from my testing it did not. Surprisingly the 300W power supply isn't a whole lot physically larger than the typical 180W used by other Sager notebooks. Under load the dual power supply configuration barely got warm to the touch.
Power supply 300W comparison with 180W
CPU and GPU
In most Sager notebooks the cooling system and components are easily accessible. This is somewhat the case with the NP9570. Removal of the main bottom panel exposes the four system fans and heatsinks to cool the high TDP CPU and GPU's. Two fans for the CPU and one for each of the GPU's. Accessing and replacing the thermal paste and the CPU and GPU's themselves is pretty straightforward. Removal of a few screws for the fan, 4-6 each of the heatsink, and you can get at these components. For the CPU only one of its two fans needs to be removed.
Storage Drives
Hard drives are also easily accessible. Underneath a center panel near the front edge of laptop houses a dual drive cage, with the third in a drive cage below the battery. Both cages have isolation rubber grommets to prevent against vibration, of course not as much of an issue with SSD's, but still a prevalant issue with fast hard drives. For the dual drive cage, a proprietary ribbon cable is utilized to connect to the mainboard, but a stanard SATA connector is used for the single drive under the battery.
Where things get sticky are with access and replacement of the system RAM. Access to any RAM requires removal of the LED indicator bar above the keyboard, removal of the keyboard, and keyboard backplate. When all is said and done, you will remove about a dozen or so screws and a few ribbon cables. This offers access to 3 of the four RAM slots. The fourth RAM slot requires removal of BOTH of the CPU fans and the CPU heatsink. So be prepared with some thermal paste if you ever go to upgrade your RAM. This machine came stock with two RAM modules in the spot underneath the CPU, so if all you want to do is add more of same type of RAM, then it's just as simple as adding two more sticks in the other two slots.
I performed a clean install of Windows 7 Professional x64 using the supplied drivers on DVD. Windows 8 drivers were also supplied should a user decide to utilize that OS. There were no issues installing all the drivers from the DVD. I only updated the video drivers to the latest 314.07 from nVidia's website for all the benchmarks listed.
Most low level system configuration happens in the BIOS. In typical Sager fashion, however, the BIOS is quite sparse and doesn't offer much more than the basic options like setting system time, enable or disable things like Bluetooth, boot logo, setting boot device priority, etc. Although it does offer UEFI and secure boot. Other than that, any other BIOS options that may be enabled just not present in the BIOS menu, will have to be adjusted with software like Intel's XTU utility.
SSD RAID Performance
The Intel X79 chipset supports 2 SATA III and 4 SATA II ports, and the NP9570 makes use of almost all of them. Three 2.5" bays, one optical bay, one eSATA. The two SATA III ports are part of the dual drive bay, everything else is SATA II.
There is support for up to four 2.5" notebook hard drives or SSD's, with native RAID 0, 1, or 5 support from the BIOS. Three are native 2.5" drive bays, with the fourth located in the optical drive bay if a user decides to swap the optical drive bay with an add-in tray to support the extra hard drive or SSD. The configuration in this review unit contains two Intel 520 180GB SSD's in RAID 0 (striped array) connected to the two SATA III ports for maximum performance. Results can be seen in the CrystalDiskMark results below and in the file copy tests.
The NP9570 sports a 5.1 sound system supported by Realtek HD drivers and SoundBlaster Compatible software with THX TrueStudio Pro. The five tweeters are all located around the hinge of the laptop. Two beneath the upper LED indicator bezel, and three more on the hinge itself in the center. The subwoofer is tucked away to the side on the right, and to be honest offers less than stellar performance. Let's be honest, a 3x1x1 inch speaker can only handle so much low frequency. Playing U2's "Love and Peace or Else" which has a very powerful bass riff at the beginning is distorted and not very loud. On the other hand the five tweeters are crisp and loud and offer pleasant tones for most music and video I've played.
There are three audio packages that need to be manipulated to tune for preferred sound: Realtek HD Audio Console, SoundBlaster Control Panel, and THX Panel. The Realtek offers speaker configuration and volume control. SoundBlaster offers an equalizer, microphone adjustments with voice effects, and EAX effects, along with the THX panel. The THX panel offers fine tuning of the speaker configuration, including smart volume and for dialog in movies, etc. It's a little complicated, but once you fiddle with it, it works out pretty well.
The unit can drive 7.1 audio through the 1/8" side audio jacks, however, so if you want fuller sound you do have that option. My Sony earbuds sounded as good a with any other laptop I've used it on, plenty loud, no hiss or crackle, and very crisp defining sounds.
RAM Performance
Theoretically the X79 chipset should support up to DDR3 2400MHz RAM (or faster) and quad channel memory. While I was able to get quad channel memory to work, with no more effort than installing four matched RAM chips of DDR3-1600MHz, the system would not run DDR3 2133MHz RAM
GPU Performance
Of course when you have such a massive setup with two consumer level top end GPU's linked in SLI, gaming will likely be one of your priorities for owning such a laptop, and the machine does not disappoint. I pitted this machine next to a desktop with an i5-3570k and GTX 670 GPU, plus my trusty Sager NP9150 with i7-3610QM and GTX 680m slightly overclocked from stock 720MHz core/1800MHz vRAM to 900MHz core/2200MHz vRAM. All components in the NP9570 were at stock speeds including the two 680m GPU's at 720MHz core/1800MHz vRAM.
Specs for systems compared were:
(1) NP9570: i7-3970x, SLI GTX 680m (@ 720/1800), 16GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600, 2x180GB Intel 520 SSD
(2) NP9150: i7-3610QM, GTX 680m (@ 900/2200), 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600, 1x256GB Crucial M4 mSATA (@ sATA II), 1X512GB Crucial M4 SATA (@ SATA III)
(3) Desktop: i5-3570k, GTX 670 (@ 1084/6200), 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600, 1x256GB Crucial M4 SATA (@ SATA III)
Game Settings
All games were run at 1920x1080 resolution and 60Hz refresh unless the specific benchmark required a specific resolution like 3DMark11 P setting at 1280x720. Maximum detail was used in most cases, and utilized a system preset (i.e. Ultra) for ease of comparison and consistency.
System Settings for all tests were as follows:
- Power Options set to "High Performance" in Windows Power Options and Clevo Control Center (Fn+Esc)
- LCD at 100% brightness
- Keyboard backlight on and full brightness
- Wi-Fi ON
- Speakers at 50% volume
- nVidia beta drivers 314.07 (started with 310.90 but bumped up to 314.07 before benchmarking GPU performance)
- System utilized no additional cooling except during Adobe Premier Pro CS6 benchmarking to prevent or limit throttling of the CPU

From the results of these benchmarks it's clear that the SLI 680m CPU is a notch above even an overclocked desktop GTX 670 GPU and overclocked single GTX 680m. With the exception of Just Cause 2, which seemed to not utilize both card of the SLI, it's a clear performance leader between the three systems. About 25-30% improvement over the desktop and as much at 60% improvement over the NP9150.
The one thing that makes this sytem most unique is the incorporation of a desktop CPU. The additional one inch thickness over other typical high end laptops is required to cool the max spec 130W desktop CPU (well in this case a 150W TDP CPU). This review unit came with the top end desktop hexacore, yes that's six cores, i7-3970X Extreme CPU rated with a 150W TDP. Six cores with hyper-threading results in 12 virtual CPU's at up to 3.7GHz for massive parallel computing. For compaison, the top end mobile CPU currently is i7-3940XM rated at 55W TDP, and maximum 4 cores with hyper-threading. Note that despite the nomenclature of this CPU, i7-3970x, it is still a Sandy Bridge CPU. Hexacore Ivy Bridge CPU's should be available later in 2013.
Intel Extreme CPU's are typically unlocked for overclocking as long as they system cooling is adequate to manage the additional heat. It appears that the 150W TDP may be a bit too extreme for this mobile platform rated for 130W, but that doesn't mean it doesn't perform well at rated clock speeds of 3.7GHz when fully taxed. Extended periods of peak computing power may require use of laptop cooler, as rendering or encoding video resulted in near peak temps of 90C before throttling. Users may want to consider removing the bottom panel when on a cooler to improve cooling performance if they plan on stressing the CPU at peak loads for extended periods.
Overclocking was attempted using Intel's XTU, however many of the features were locked and most required a reboot. Increasing TDP offered the best result for maintaining higher clocks for extended periods, however options like turbo boost power time window were not available. It is possible to increase the boost ratio of ALL cores to the same multiplier regardless of load applied, but this resulted in higher overall temperatures and also ramped up temperatures a lot more quickly under load. I am sure with a BIOS update or two that many of these restrictions will be resolved. But for this review, the system was run at stock settings at 3.7GHz with all cores loaded, since overclocking does not seem possible with this CPU in this machine at this time.
CPU (and some file/system) BENCHMARKS:
7-Zip Zip and Unzip
Adobe Premier Pro 6 PPBM5.5
Blender Cycles
Cinebench 11.5
DPC Latency
File Copy Test (disk test not CPU)
Fritz 12 Chess
PCMark 7
Spodemark (Single thread performance: Gimp, x264, Video, mulitask)
From these results we can see that the added cores help improve time to completion of compute intensive tasks like rendering or encoding. Regular desktop performance is pretty much on par with the other two machines compared.
I already touched on the accessibilty of the coolig system, but to restate, the fans and heatsink are easily accessible and simple to remove with a small philips head screwdriver. There are dual fans to cool the CPU and a single fan for each GPU for four total system fans. Remarkably the system is not that loud with fan noise at idle or mild use. With a stressed system the fan noise is a bit apparent but it's a low tone "whooshing" sound so it is not too annoying. There is no noticeable heat around the system, as everything is pushed out the back vents.
The fans do a remarkable job at cooling the 680m GPU's keeping them below 70C during most games and benchmarks. It is a bit different with the 150W i7-3970x CPU however. Despite haveing two fans, the CPU can reach the 90C throttle point with extended full system load within 10 minutes. Typically so far only one or two cores throttle and doesn't have a significant impact on resulting performance, but it does affect it.
Note the results below of the CPU and GPU temperatures. All tests were run with the system closed and no additional cooling except for Adobe Premier Pro benchmark where I opened the bottom panel and placed the notebook PC on a laptop cooler to help prevent CPU throttling.
This system came with two 300W power supplies, and they can be used simultanously. Both PSU's are linked using a small Y adapter allowing to pull up to 600W of power. In most cases the power was around or less than 300W. Note that this is power drawn from the wall, so whatever performance factor has to be taken into account with the power supplies, typically about 90%, so actual power use from the PSU was about 250-270W.
Below are the results of power draw based on each test run.
I re-ran a few of the tests that pushed the system over 300W, this time using just a single PSU to check if performance for that particular benchmark was hinderd or not and results were similar. So a single PSU would work, however it would run near peak power most of the time while gaming which would likely burn out the PSU in short order.
In system like this, battery life isn't much of a factor. The 80WHr battery really is more of a battery backup than a useful computing on the go battery. However I ran an idle battery life test nevertheless using the following settings:
- power saver profile
- 20% brightness, never dim or turn off
- Wi-fi On
- Backlit Keyboard off
- hard drive/SSD power off after 10 minutes
Result: 75 minutes
I think with some regular wi-fi use that total time would likely end up around 50-60 minutes. Still respectable considering the harware it's housing. Granted a similarly equipped NP9370 with mobile CPU ran over 2.5 hours.
In any case the battery is located in a good spot, near the forward edge (palm rest) of the laptop, away from the hot components. The odd thing is that it is secured with three flat head screws instead of a slide lach. The flat heads have wide grooves so it could easily be opened by using a coin or key, though, so no screwdriver required.
The Sager NP9570 is definitely a unique monster sure to support the needs of a specific niche market, but I guess that is nice to have that option. Users primarily wanting a higher end desktop CPU, and of most interest hexacore CPU's will likely find this machine desirable if they want something portable or compact compared with a a desktop. The Socket 2011 should be compatible with Ivy Bridge hexacore CPU's later this year so it should offer an upgrade path down the road. It's clear that a hexacore CPU will improve completion times of encoding, rendering, and likely compiling of code. The only issue I noticed was a peak load the CPU would approach throttle temperatures, however keep in mind this was with a 150W hexacore, the 130W i7-3930k may be a better option if you are looking for a cooler running CPU. In any case the CPU was able to manage 3.7GHz for extended periods in most of the benchmarks.
I don't think there's any doubt that the SLI GPU's will manage games for the next few years, and there should also be an upgrade path for users with the 700m series nVidia GPU's or even AMD's 8000 series. Gaming performance bested the desktop quad core Ivy Bridge i5 and GTX 670 overclocked by about 25-30% as well as the NP9150 with i7-3610QM and GTX 680m overclocked by as much as 60%.
Considering the added thickness of this laptop, Clevo made some odd design decisions in the design of this laptop like difficult to access RAM slots, primarily requiring removal of the CPU heatink and fans. Other things like utilizing a common keyboard with the 15 inch models, a small touchpad, and extra lighting that cannot be turned off on the lid or on the touchpad while the laptop is powered on. But overall those are nitpicking, just items that stood out while using the laptop.
Otherwise I hope I detailed enough information to help any users considering this machine to make their purchase decision. LPC-Digital was kind enough to offer this laptop to me for a short period to offer a review, be sure to thank them, Larry in particular.

CPU Benchmarks
7-zip 64-bit
Zip and Unzip Freeware flight simulator Flight Gear folder which consists of 11673 files in 1432 folders at about 1.2GB total size
Adobe Premier Pro 6 with PPBM5.5 benchmark
PPBM5.5 evaluates several aspects of Adobe Premier Pro 6: rendering h.264 timeline (CPU), export timeline to MPEG2 DVD (CPU), export timeline to H.264 file (CPU), and export to AVI file (CPU and Disk I/O)
. The file can be downloaded from here:
Blender Cycles Render (2.65)
This benchmark I found from the blenderartists.org website where it renders a model with cycles: http://blenderartists.org/forum/show...nder-benchmark
Cinebench 11.5
DPC Latency
Just thought I'd throw this in here since users typically request it. Latency was low. I let this run another time for a long time while I used the laptop just forgot to take a screenshot, but this is pretty much representative.
File Copy Test
I just did two file copy tests: (1) was the Flight Gear folder also used with 7-zip test. Freeware flight simulator Flight Gear folder which consists of 11673 files in 1432 folders at about 1.2GB total size. and (2) a single 3.5GB video file. These were copied from and to the same disk
Fritz 12 - Chess benchmark
I converted a 3.8GB DVD VOB file to an mp4 file using ipad default setting.
PCMark 7
These results show that the more powerful systems really don't affect general computing
This test is really to test the single thread performance as it runs through Gimp image manipulation, x264 video encoding, video playback, and general multitasking. Interesting to see how it stacks up with single threaded apps.

Awesome job there) I just wish there would be some GPU OC results not to check what 680M is capable of but what the cooling of the beast can manage..

Re: HTWingNut's Sager NP9570 (Clevo P570WM) Review!
GPU could not OC with current vBIOS installed. But from the results you can see there is a lot of headroom.
edit: I just realized I missed the GPU temps in there. Sorry. Just posted graph in temps section. I have to add Crysis 3 still.

text: They revitalized Broadway with ''The Producers,'' and now Nathan Lane and director-choreographer Susan Stroman have set out to save the world. In this 1974 Stephen Sondheim musical, Greek god of drama Dionysus attempts to give people hope in a chaotic time by reviving a dead poet. It's a conceit that allows for trenchant election-year satire, so too bad this is nothing more than a giant, sloppy egofest. As Dionysus, the ham-hugging Lane spends two largely self-scripted hours shtinking it up so badly that the heroic efforts of costars Roger Bart and Peter Bartlett go unnoticed. Worse, thanks to the veritable Cirque du Soleil Stroman's whipped up, most of Sondheim's belovedly complicated lyrics are lost as well. The Frogs is a Greek tragedy all right.

BRPD adds veteran officer to assist victims
POSTED: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - 7:36pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - 7:36pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — The Baton Rouge Police Department added a veteran police officer to work with the departments victim's assistance program. Sergeant Brenda Gann runs the domestic abuse unit for BRPD. She begins each work day by looking for people who may need her help.
"When I get to work the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to read all my synopsis that comes through the police department. If I see anything a serious battery that has occurred, domestic violence, I'm going to be calling that person immediately," She said.
She checks in with the victims to make sure they are ok, and they are safe.
"A lot of them feel hopeless and feel like there is no other place to turn," Sgt. Gann said. "...And not aware that we are here to assist. We have the resources, and we are willing to move forward and be there for them."
She helps victims of domestic violence situations, trying to keep them from escalating. She also works with the departments victim assistance coordinator.
Gann said timing is key when trying to help victims.
"Usually if you reach out to them quicker we tend to see a trend that they will follow it through the court proceeding," Gann said. "The sooner you get involved ,and the sooner they think they're going to get the help that they need, then that helps us out tremendously when it comes time for court. Because, they know somebody is going to be there for them. "
She's working on a new database to keep track of all the domestic violence cases that come in each day.
Gann is also working to better track offenders.
"Part of my case management that I'm developing right now is for targeting violent offenders that has done this numerous times that has fallen through the gaps and we don't realize that this person (has), because they'll change partners, and they'll commit violence on one lady and go to the next girlfriend and commit domestic violence . We can put this in a database where I can look up the accused and see how many times he has done this," Gann said.
The databases would also allow Gann to look for patterns of domestic violence.
"That's why I am trying to get a database for the smaller things like through city court violations of protective orders and everything," Gann said. "... And try to find out if there is a pattern with these guys. Has it escalated and try to prevent that before it escalates."
Her goal is to help cut down the number of domestic violence cases and protect victims.
"The main thing is the rights of the victim, and help them as soon as possible," Gann said.

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
The H55M-ED55's power draw from the wall is very low. Even when under full load the board did not pull over 83 Watts. This was lower than the next closest board by 7 Watts.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboard; this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
The H55M-ED55 did generate more heat than the other boards, but this has more to do with the minimal heatsink over the chipset than power running through the system.

Officers' Quarters: Leveling as a guild in Cataclysm {WoW}
Oct 4th 2010 2:17PM With all the guild achievements for Heroics, it almost seems like a good idea for that first scheduled day to be "Guild Run" Heroics. If only to get the guild's average gear up to a point where raiding is possible.
The Queue: Getting ready for heroics edition {WoW}
Sep 22nd 2010 2:29PM I have a question about Mastery, how much mastery is on gear at 85... roughly? And is there a cap? Getting 2-4% of a bonus per point seems like alot, especially since 600+ crit or haste is easy to get on live.
The Queue: Adam Holisky is a liar edition {WoW}
Sep 21st 2010 6:58PM Maybe I missed this, but it seems to me that the mastery bonuses are a bit high in value per point... What kind of Mastery is on gear, and is there a cap to the amount of mastery you can have?

Raiders running back might be able to play vs. Bengals on Nov.25. Terry McCormick
The Oakland Raiders will likely be without running back Darren McFadden, whose status for Sunday's game with the New Orleans Saints was described as "iffy" by Yahoo's Jason Cole.
McFadden, who suffered a high ankle sprain two weeks ago against Tampa Bay, has a better chance of playing Nov. 25 when the Raiders take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Had I listened to this without knowing the names on it, I wouldn't have guessed for the life of me who this was. Superstar Tiësto has teamed up with MOTi to bring to life their new collaboration, "Back To The Acid." The result is a super awesome banger and it's another sign that the acid sound is coming back strong. Dog Blood and Knife Party are some of the biggest names infusing the sound into their releases as well, so if you don't believe us, you're fooling yourself. This has a grind to it that the festival-sized big time cheese just doesn't have. It's the sort of straight-up dance music I think America might finally be ready for. There's nothing too complicated about this (well, production aspects aside); it's straight-forward party music and I think it'll fit well in summer sets in those late night warehouses. It'll be worth noting where this pops up over the summer sets so keep an eye out for it and let us know!
"Back to the Acid" will be released on Musical Freedom on June 11.

Baltimore Insurance Website Update

10 Responses so far.
Hoping to see some sweet income reported next month. Your rank position is not bad at all. I'm still clawing at no. 25 for my insurance niche site.
One spot at a time… one spot. That's what I keep telling myself. We'll get to #1 soon enough!
My English isn't great but is there two typos in here "effected my Penguin"
100% agree on anchor text, IMO opinion the lower the better, with only a tiny amount of EM from the best properties.
Hey Tim, my typing definitely isn't as good as my SEO. We all have stuff to improve upon huh?
Hi Nick
The site looks great. I hope you kill it with that site. I love the minimalism of it, definitely keeping it simple. What theme or you using? Maybe in a future post you can let us know the progress of your link building i find a lot of people including myself would like to outsource that seeing how time consuming and tedious its but are scared about a penalties from google.
Hi Mike – sorry for the late response. I utilized a theme that is offered on WordPress for free. I then paid someone on oDesk about $20.00 to modify the header and make it customizable via the widgets. This allows me to add my conversion form.
Thanks for the future post suggestions. I always want to write about stuff you guys are interested in reading!!
You running a SEO company and buy links from other services, i don`t understand? And blackhat as well, I am comfused?
This is the first time I am visiting your site, did not ask that question to be rude or anything (just delete this message)
- Nicko
Hi Nicko! Glad you stopped by. This website and my personal websites utilize different techniques then my company. I tend to make many more 'risky' decisions and tactics since it only effects my bottom line. We are a little more conservative in using our more successful tactics for out clients.
No worry about being rude. It's all good and i'm glad I could clear that up.
Cool! Yeah, I understand it's an interest towards back hat again after backlink xxx and other newly released courses.
Anyway, I am fan og high PR guest post, I somethimes outsource it as well.I will keep on following you, thanks for answer.
- Nicko

From 1997 to 2007, Russia maintained an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth average of 7% but during the 2009 financial crisis, its economy contracted by a sharp 7.9 per cent. In 2010, GDP grew by 3.4%, boosted by gains in oil and energy prices.
For a long time, Russia has faced challenges dealing with its high unemployment and poverty rates. However, with an improvement in its foreign currency reserves and international finances, Russia has been able to achieve some economic stabilization.
According to the World Bank, Russia's GDP is expected to grow by 4.4% in 2011, despite higher than expected oil prices. In the same report, the World Bank identifies challenges in domestic demand and credit activities which leaves private consumption as the main engine of growth.
In April, Russian deputy Economic Development Minister Andrei Klepach announced the approved social and economic development forecast for 2012 – 2014. According to Klepach, Russia's 2012 GDP is expected at 3.5% and is projected to reach 4.2% – 4.6% in the following years.
In the long run, as Russia closes its output gap, the pace of economy is likely to slow. However, with the right structural policies aimed at higher productivity, innovation and competition, Russia can achieve an even higher long-term growth and standard of living for its people.
Indexed against year 2000 prices, the Russian inflation rate is currently the 15th highest rate in the world.

In an effort to bring awareness to the unmistakable awfully odorous bouquet of household natural gas, aka "mercaptan," aka, "rotten eggs," or more commonly referred to by the sophomoric among us as "fart," Xcel Energy and Vladimir Jones have given downtown a new landmark. Next time you are out for lunch, swing by 14th and Arapahoe for a look-see. Sizewise, this nose matches those that adorn the founding fathers on Mount Rushmore, and dwarfs the noses of the Statue of Liberty, and the Lincoln Memorial. As an aside: the best on-the-nose joke left in the comments wins some sweet Xcel Energy swag.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks may suffer collateral damage from the accord world powers reached with Iran if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persists in linking his two biggest diplomatic challenges.
Israel's opposition Labor Party elected parliament member Isaac Herzog as its new leader in an upset victory over incumbent Shelly Yachimovich, a change that could help peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who directed Israel's 2008 ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, is considering new measures to stop missile attacks from the Hamas- ruled territory.
When U.S. President Barack Obama dispatches his negotiators to Baghdad next week to join talks with Iran over the future of its nuclear program, he'll be most concerned about the reaction of one man: Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said peace in the Middle East can be achieved as leaders from Israel and the Palestinian Authority prepare to meet next week.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced that he is retiring from politics and won't run in elections scheduled for Jan. 22.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak conflicted with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's public testimony on a Gaza flotilla raid, telling an investigating panel that Cabinet ministers discussed possible scenarios for violence.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said government leaders considered the possibility that naval commandos would meet violent resistance aboard an aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip on which nine activists were killed.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak split from his Labor Party today, choosing to remain within Benjamin Netanyahu 's government following disagreements within his faction over the stalled peace process.
Iran's determination to build nuclear weapons will result in nations such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey seeking nuclear arms, starting a "countdown" to terrorists getting nuclear materials, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.

Cerebral Sci-Fi Films That Wipe Our Minds

Terry Gilliam's riotous dark comedy about media, terrorism, bureaucracy, insurgency and too much more to smash into one sentence was an undisputed classic upon its 1985 arrival. Led by manic actor Jonathan Pryce, Brazil's mash of Kafka, Orwell and Monty Python proved both entertaining and maddening. For who among us does not know what it is like to be Tuttle-d?
As Gilliam's superb movie explained, the line between patriot and pariah is a fearsomely thin one. All it takes is a dead fly to turn the innocent Archibald Buttle into suspected terrorist Archibald "Harry" Tuttle, and all hell breaks loose. It's enough to make one go insane, which is what Pryce's Sam Lowry spends the film trying to ascertain. Has he lost his mind, or has the world gone mad? And what's the difference?
Gilliam explored similar themes a decade later in his almost-awesome 12 Monkeys, an upgrade of Chris Marker's sci-fi montage La Jetee. Loop them up for a triple-feature that will melt your lobes.

The University of Georgia announces an REU program which will run two summer student research groups of 7-9 students in each of the years 2008 and 2009. The program will admit students from across the country for a fast-paced and challenging research experience working closely with our mathematics faculty. Students will work closely with UGA faculty and graduate students on a problem of current interest in mathematics research. The REU program is linked to our well-regarded graduate program in mathematics, and students accepted into the REU program will be advised on their preparations for graduate study.
The two 2008 REU programs will run from May 19-July 11 and June 9-July 27 at the University of Georgia. Housing, meal plan, travel support and a stipend will be provided. Course credit is also available. "Following NSF rules, students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents to receive REU stipends."
The topics for this year are:
Ecological Modelling -- May 19 - July 11, 2008
Group Leader: Caner Kazanci
Temperature, blood pressure and specific enzyme levels are typical health indicators for human beings. For a healthy person, the values of these indicators lie in specific intervals. Defining similar health indicators for ecological systems is a major question in ecosystems ecology. Over the years there have been many efforts in this direction, resulting in many formulas that claim to represent the health of an ecosystem. However most of these formulations are relative measures, and are not universal to all ecosystems. One such example is the cycling index: The higher the cycling in an ecosystem, the higher the utilization of mass and energy within the system before it is lost due to respiration and other factors. Therefore cycling index is believed to represent ecosystem health. However, there is no specific interval for cycling index that identifies a healthy ecosystem. Our objective is to come up with a solid universal non-relative ecosystem health indicator, such as body temperature. We tackle this problem by combining mathematical, computational and statistical approaches. We developed an online software called EcoNet (http://eco.engr.uga.edu \url{}) for simulation and analysis of ecological models. EcoNet is capable of measuring most currently available ecosystem health indicators. In this project, students will use real ecological field data (gathered from over 40 ecosystems) and EcoNet to compare current ecological health indicators, and investigate new mathematical definitions of ecosystem health. Background: Students should have a course in linear algebra and in differential equations. The project will involve substantial use of computers, and students should be interested in learning to program.
Numerical Analysis -- June 9 - July 27, 2008
Group Leader: Dr. Ming-Jun Lai
Multivariate splines are smooth functions composed of piecewise polynomials defined on triangulations. These functions in the univariate setting are a major tool for describing curves and tensor product surfaces on computer which have been used in many area of research and industrial applcations for curve and surface visualization and simulations. As finite elements, these functions are a standard tool for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. In this REU program, we will study the general theory of multivariate splines and use them for scattered data interpolation and fitting, surface design, and to solve PDE numerically. We first spend three weeks on the basic theory of multivariate splines using the monograph "Spline Functions on Triangulations" written by Dr. Lai and his coauthor Larry Schumaker. Then we will spend two weeks learning how to use multivariate splines for data fitting problems including programming in MATLAB. Finally we will spend another two weeks learning how to use multivariate splines for numerical solution of partial differetial equations. Some examples of MATLAB programs will be given as a starting point. Students will use them to develop and solve more sophisticated problems. Background: Students should have multivariable calculus and one course in differential equations. Some experience with computer programming is preferable, but all students must be interested in and willing to learn MATLAB programming and numerical simulation.
Application materials will be due on February 29, 2008 including a transcript, a statement on why you are interested in each project, and two letters of recommendation from faculty. Recommendation letters may be e-mailed directly to Laura Ackerley, email@example.com. Decisions will be announced before March 15, 2008. Please download the application form <here> and send application materials to
