Refrigerant gas leak detection, location, & repair: this article describes refrigerant gas leak detector tools and the methods used to find refrigerant gas leaks such as Freon leaks and other halogen gas leaks. We also discuss where refrigerant leaks most often occur. We explain the effects of refrigerant leaks on air conditioners and heat pumps, refrigerators, freezers, etc. including both the effects of lost refrigerant and the effects of refrigerant piping leaks that admit moisture and dirt contamination into the system. We also explain how a refrigeration gauge set should be connected to HVAC equipment to avoid contamination damage. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Refrigerant Leak Detection & Types & Tips for Using the TIF 5000 automatic halogen gas leak detectorAs we explain in our articles on lost cooling capacity or air conditioning systems or heat pumps that are not working, a refrigerant leak in your air conditioner or heat pump means that eventually it will just not produce cool air (during air conditioning) nor warm air (during heating if it's also a heat pump). Carson Dunlop Associates' sketch (left) illustrates some of the common areas where vibration or other stresses or damage are often the cause of leaks in refrigerant piping at a home air conditioner or heat pump. Before assuming that you need to add refrigerant, see the diagnostic steps at LOST COOLING CAPACITY. Refrigerant leak detection methodsUsing a sensitive instrument such as the TIF 5000 is a useful way to quickly find refrigerant gas leaks on air conditioning and heat pump systems. Alternative leak locating methods are also useful, such as a thorough visual inspection for stains or discoloration at HVAC refrigerant piping, evaporator or cooling coils, condensing coils, and fittings. In addition, some HVAC technicians include a leak-detecting oil in the refrigerant charge in order to (possibly) provide visual evidence of where leaks are occurring in the system. Some common causes of air conditioner or heat pump refrigerant leaks include:
Refrigerant leaks occur at a number of locations on cooling equipment, including
Practical tips for checking for refrigerant gas leaksWhat most refrigerant gas leak testing instrument instructions fail to point out is a practical procedure for actually examining air conditioning or refrigeration systems for refrigerant gas leaks.
How to Diagnose Types of Leaks of Refrigerant Leaks in HVAC SystemsEffects of refrigerant leaks or loss of charge show up in different ways depending on where the refrigerant leak is occurring. Leaks on the high side of a refrigeration system show up as loss of refrigerant and will be discovered. Leaks on the low side of a refrigeration system are harder to discover until enough air leaks into the refrigerant piping system. At that point the compressor head pressure goes way up until a safety device shuts down the compressor motor or a service tech discovers a problem. A leak on the low side is ugly because now the whole system has become contaminated with air, moisture, and dirt. Effects of Refrigerant Leaks: Dirt & Moisture on Thermostatic Expansion Valves or Capillary Tube Refrigerant Metering DevicesMoisture freezes in the refrigerant metering device, further interfering with proper cooling system operation, and dirt can also jam up a TEV or clog a capillary tube. When moisture is freezing up a thermostatic expansion valve the system will stop working (and thus begin to warm up) until the ice melts. The system may run normally for some time - until water droplets pass through the system and again reach the TEV and cause it to freeze again. Unlike moisture, dirt in the refrigeration system is more likely to cause the Thermostatic Expansion Valve to clog and just stop working permanently, as it can also do a capillary tube metering system. You might diagnose a moisture-in-expansion valve or cap tube problem by adding heat to the device to see if it will thaw and begin operating. See THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVES for details about these devices. Moisture in the refrigerant piping system also mixes with the refrigerant to form an acid which can short out compressor motor windings by dissolving the lacquer on the wire windings. Refrigerant combined with moisture becomes a black stinky liquid. Effects of Air in the refrigeration system; how we diagnose the presence of air inside the air conditioner or heat pumpThe pressure of air is additive to the pressure of the refrigerant in any refrigeration system. And of course the amount of air pressure that is added to the system depends on the temperatures of the refrigerant gas, compressor, coils, etc. Put simply, air inside the refrigerant handling system (piping, controls, compressor, coils) raises the pressure on both the HIGH and LOW sides of the system even if the air is not also adding moisture. The result is that the air conditioner or heat pump operates at a lower efficiency. For example, at 70 degF and using R12 refrigerant, we would expect the static or idle (compressor not running) pressure of the refrigerant in the system to be at 70 psi. How We Know Air has Contaminated the Refrigerant SystemIf you know that your refrigerant is R12 and that the pressure should be 70 psi when the A/C or heat pump has not run in some time, and ambient temperature is also 70F. So provided there are no blockages or clogs in the system refrigerant piping, coils, compressor, controls, Then IF you see a gauge pressurehigher than 70 psi that suggests you have air in the system. You may in fact see high head pressure and high back pressure if there is significant air contamination in the refrigerant. And if the air conditioner/heat pump or other refrigeration system is contaminated by any of the problem materials we've discussed: air, moisture, dirt and debris, you will need to evacuate and vacuum the system to remove these contaminants. Suggestions for Using the TIF5000 to detect refrigerant leaksThe TIF 5000 automatic halogen leak detector is used for air conditioning and cooling system refrigerant leak detection. The TIF 5000 replaces and combines functions previously provided by the TIF HLD440 halogen leak detector, with an added circuit which TIF refers to as "automatic ambient control". This feature "adjusts and corrects for the atmospheric ambient refrigerant in the vicinity of the tip." [TIF 5000 product literature]. As you'll notice in our photograph of our instrument, its external appearance is similar to the TIF 8800 except that the 8800 detects a wide range of combustible gases while the TIF 5000 is designed to focus on the halogen gases - air conditioning refrigerants such as the now discontinued R12 and R22. The instrument weighs about 28 ounces and is 8" x 3" x 1.8" in size, not counting the length of the flexible sensor tip. What gases does the TIF 5000 leak detector detect?The TIF 5000 halogen leak detector is used principally on air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, heat pumps, and possibly dehumidifiers. This leak detector also detects the following halogen gases or halogen gas mixtures:
Step by Step Guide to Using the TIF 5000 Leak Detector on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning EquipmentInstructions for use of the TIF5000 to check for refrigerant gas leaks couldn't be much simpler, and they are printed on a label affixed to the device:
But as with other gas leak detection devices of this type, if you're using the TIF 5000 refrigerant gas leak detector in an area which may already be contaminated with a high level of gas leakage, special (but simple) steps are needed to permit the leak detector to find the point of refrigerant gas leakage: This procedure is the opposite of what we do with the TIF8800 when testing for combustible gases (and the hazards are different since halogen gases do not present an explosion hazard). Critical Maintenance Tips for Refrigerant Gas Leak DetectorsThe sensing tip on the TIF 5000 and some of the electronics of the instrument therefore are of course different. Because debris contamination will interfere with proper operation of the TIF5000 halogen leak detector (refrigerant gas leak detector) the sensor is supplied with filter paper pre-cut into a cross shape which is inserted around the sensing tip under its protective spring cover. When the paper is soiled it is simply replaced. The glass vial shown in our photo contains a substance used to confirm that the sensing tip will respond to a halogen gas (refrigerant gas) leak as it should. Here are some tips from TIF for maintenance of the TIF 5000 Halogen Leak DetectorTo change the sensing tip: turn of the TIF 5000 leak detector before changing the sensing tip. Turn the tip counter-clockwise to remove it, and attach the new tip by turning it clockwise when screwing it in place. Screw the new tip finger tight. Do not contaminate the new tip with oil or grease such as hand cleaner or refrigerant oil, and do not get your sweat on the tip. To protect the tip from contamination by dust and grease during use, use the filter paper we show in the photo above. Use a new filter paper when installing a new sensor tip. Spare sensor tips: A spare leak detector sensing tip can be stored in the battery compartment. Batteries: Use two fresh "C" alkaline batteries to power the TIF 5000. Batteries are installed by removing a battery cover on the back of the instrument. If the batteries are fresh you should see the red LED turn on when the power switch is turned on. If the LeD does not light, change the batteries. If the LeD lights but the unit does not operate (won't respond to refrigerant or test gases) change the sensing tip. If that doesn't work you'll need to return the instrument to TIF for repairs. Operating temperature range: the TIF 5000 is rated to operate between 30 deg. F. and 100 deg. F. This warmer temperature function can be important when sniffing around a hot compressor motor. Other specialized gas detection methods include use of solid state circuitry, CMS chips, and special instruments which may be designed to give a quick alarm or a reading in PPM for specific gases. Other gas and air monitoring equipment use pumps which collect and insert a specific volume of air into a vacuum container for later analysis. We've found that for typical field use, the colorimetric gas detector tube method is extremely convenient and very accurate, and it presents minimal requirements for instrument calibration. In related documents we give references and explanation regarding toxicity of several of the most common indoor gases, based on literature search and obtained from the U.S. government and expert sources.

File photo. (iStock/Thinkstock)(LOS ANGELES) -- The manufacturer of the scopes that spread a drug-resistant "superbug" to seven California patients had tweaked the scopes' design and was selling them without federal permission to do so, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Seven people have become infected with the drug-resistant "superbug" known as CRE at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after undergoing endoscopy procedures, and CRE may have played a role in two of those patients' deaths, hospital officials said in February, adding that 179 people were exposed to the germ at UCLA.
The scopes -- called duodenoscopes, which are inserted by mouth to access patients' small intestine, the pancreas and the liver -- were new and had only been in use since June, health officials said last month. Officials added that the scopes were cleaned in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. The hospital said it traced the bacteria back to two endoscopes manufactured by Olympus Corporation of the Americas.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, Olympus had tweaked the design of its duodenoscopes and sold them without seeking clearance from the FDA to do so. Manufacturers are supposed to notify the FDA of design changes 90 days before marketing an altered device, according to the FDA website.
It was not immediately clear what Olympus changed about the scopes' design or whether that change could have made the scopes more likely to harbor bacteria or more difficult to clean and sanitize -- and the FDA was not immediately able to clarify.
In March 2014, the FDA notified Olympus that it needed the additional clearance before selling the altered devices, but the manufacturer did not submit the request for clearance until October, the FDA told ABC News. The submission is still "pending" because the FDA asked for more data.
The FDA noted two other companies make duodenoscopes, and FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley told ABC News, "It's important to understand that we have received reports of infections associated with the duodenoscopes manufactured by all three device companies."
The Food and Drug Administration told ABC News last month that it has been aware of cleaning issues and bacterial transmissions associated with duodenoscopes for more than a year.
"The CDC first alerted the FDA to a potential association of multi-drug resistant bacteria and duodenoscopes in fall 2013," an agency spokesperson told ABC News. "The FDA has been actively working with federal partners, manufacturers and other stakeholders to better understand the issues that contribute to the infections and what can be done to mitigate them."
The FDA issued a safety communication about the duodenoscopes following the UCLA CRE cases, explaining that duodenoscopes are used in about 500,000 procedures a year, but meticulous cleaning and disinfecting "may not entirely eliminate" the risk of transmitting infection. From January 2012 through December 2014, the FDA received reports of 135 patients suspected of contracting germs from reprocessed duodenoscopes, the agency said.
According to the CDC, almost every state has had a confirmed case of CRE, but state health departments are not required to notify the CDC about CRE infections. Duodenoscope-related CRE outbreaks similar to the one at UCLA have occurred recently in Chicago, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
Olympus did not respond to repeated requests for comments about the FDA's assertion that the scopes lacked FDA clearance, but the company said in a statement to ABC News last month that it was aware of reports involving its duodenoscopes, and was working with the FDA, medical organizations and customers to address concerns. It was also making supplemental educational materials available to customers.
"While all endoscopes, including duodenoscopes, require thorough reprocessing after patient use in order to be safe, the Olympus TJF-Q180V requires careful attention to cleaning and reprocessing steps, including meticulous manual cleaning, to ensure effective reprocessing," the company said.

I am sure all shooters know what tinnitus is, but if you don't, here's the Wikipedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus
Anyway, I've had ringing in my ears for about 30 years now. I did a lot of shooting in my younger days without adequate hearing protection, so I have no one to blame but myself. Nowadays, I wear LOTS of hearing protection, lol.
I'm sure some others here have tinnitus and I'm curious if anyone has found any remedies that help?

I have used this helmet since 2005. I have used it for stick, MIG, and TIG. It lasted a long time for school (only seeing actual welding for 1-2hrs/wk)However, the internal batteries would eventually give out. I thought the solar cells recharged the batteries, but I guess they don't?The coverage of this helmet is better than the blue flame one because it has a longer bottom part that protects your neck. This is the reason I've stayed with this version and not the new blue flame oneI use this to TIG at work for over a year. I've replaced it 3 times (mostly for getting bumped off my workbench or falling off a rolling cart right onto the face piece). One time the batteries did give out in the middle of being out in the field, so had to deal with getting blinded for a few mins to finish the job (welding brackets)(Although the instructions say it's not for TIG, I've not had a problem with it not darkening [minus dying batteries], and has done just fine)The headpiece is a bit flimsy and have had the tighteners break (before I started working). The last 2 helmets have had lemon tighteners so they loosen up after a few flips up and down. These are the first 2 out of 6-7 that have done thatBecause there are only 2 sensors, if one is blocked, it won't darken. This sometimes is a problem for me doing out of position welding. I usually just reposition to get it to workOverall, it's a decent helmet. For light- medium home/ hobby work, I'd recommend it. For use at work, I'd suggest getting a better name brand helmet. I may do that once this one dies on me

Home › Academics & Activities › Homework › Tutoring
By GreatSchools Staff
If your child is struggling with her writing or simply hoping to pick up a foreign language, tutoring can provide the academic extras that might be missing from the classroom. By offering individualized instruction, tutors — whether they're classmates, high school and college students working on the side, or seasoned professionals — can take up the slack and help students succeed. GreatSchools parents were eager to share their thoughts on how to get the most of out of tutoring.
Since the quality of instruction depends on the person doing the job, it helps to do some research before choosing a service or private tutor. "If I were to hire a student in high school to tutor my sons, I would think back to my experiences and conduct a proper face-to-face interview," says a mother of two, remembering a former tutor who helped her achieve far above grade level. "My parents found a tutor for me at the local high school when I was in sixth grade and learning high school geometry. She was very patient and really helped me learn more than I would have without her."
She also suggests a few interview questions for parents screening potential tutors:
And for those looking to go the extra step, she offers this advice: "I'd want to meet the [tutor's] teachers and parents … to find out whether my child and the tutor are a good fit."
When looking for tutor recommendations, it pays to ask those in the know: teachers and other parents. "When my daughter had a retired teacher substituting in one of her classes for a month," says one mother, "I asked him if he knew any tutors. He told me that he tutored in his spare time. I found [another tutor] at the library. I asked the mother ahead of us in line whether she knew of any tutors to recommend. She explained that she's also a teacher who tutors for extra money."
Another mother had similar luck by consulting her daughter's school. "We met with my daughter's teacher and guidance counselor, who suggested using a teacher who tutors after school," she says. "We really see a difference in her studying and, most importantly, her confidence in herself!"
One New York mother stresses how important it is to stay on top of your child's tutoring. By knowing what to expect, you'll be able to keep an eye out for any snags. "I have had a tutor for my daughter since first grade [and] we find our tutor to be invaluable," she says. "My tip to parents: You pay the tutor, so tell her what areas you need your child to improve in."
While it's key to find a tutor who's organized and sets clear goals, it's equally important to speak up about adjusting lesson plans as needed. "You may want to collect your child's tests and pages from school workbooks before you meet with the tutor," says the mom from New York. "That way she'll have copies of the work your child is having trouble with. Also, if in one particular month you need the study lineup changed, do what's best for your child and let the tutor know!"
Even if you have to do a few trial runs, it's worth the effort to find a tutor your child likes and respects — and to stick to a routine. "We found a wonderful math tutor for geometry and algebra I who was a retired schoolteacher. She was the fifth tutor we tried out," says another parent. "Make sure you keep looking until you find someone who understands different learning styles and will help your child build confidence. Also, we made sure to attend tutoring consistently, even when there was less homework. The tutor loved that because she could use that time to review with our child."
Not all tutors have to be people you pay: Classmates and friends can be just as valuable with all the learning being packed into those tiny cerebellums. "When my daughter was struggling in one of her classes," writes a GreatSchools mom, "I suggested that she ask someone who [understood] the material to tutor her. She spent seven hours covering a quarter's worth of class material and scored higher than her current average in the class for that quarter. Now she's determined to stick with her honors class!"
Sometimes parents struggling to find the perfect tutor need look no further than the mirror. That's right — moms and dads can be teachers too, though sometimes it takes a stressful situation to make that call. "When my daughter was in second grade, she wouldn't memorize her math tables, so I signed her up for help at the local tutoring center," says one mom. "After about six months, she grew tired of going to the center two times a week and doing the extra math pages every day. So we had a talk. We agreed to stop going to the tutoring center but that she would practice her math — one page a day. It worked! And it helped her understand that math is a skill that takes patience to learn."

Everyone may think this is troll- well it is, and it works as good troll not bad troll. Because good troll is good. Let's start off with runes + Masteries. Armor Flats MPen Marks AP/LVL Glyphs 1Mpen Mark 2 AP Flat Quints Masteries- 0/21/9, Taking into improved smite, and Buff duration with Spiked armor to deal early-game additional damage to monsters. Starting item- Cloth Armor + 5 Health pots(Later to be built into Ninja Tabi or sold) Level 1-4 First off, start at blue- not wolves- as singed lacks the ability to truly kill them fast enough. Get a leash(Hard is not required, he is very tanky, and has great survivability and early-game damage.) Smite it at the right time (about 475 HP, personally I smite at about 550- because you will auto+22 poison tick) Blue Buff -> Wolves -> Wraiths -> Red -> Golems -> Wolves(Or search for gank) -> Base. Your primary goal is to organize which items you get first. Jungling singed items of MUST has. Tier 2 boots -> Hextech Revolver -> Catalyst. This is your core (Do not build into WotA as it will give away position for ganks and ultimately not be cost worthy(Anymore- and should only be bought mid-late game.) IF you are fed- Yes, I said a Fed Singed- This is the 2nd Best tank to feed in the game(AP Amumu Rolls early/mid/LATE game(ALL GAME LONGGG YEEEEEEEEAHHHHH)). Build these items- Tier 2 boots(Sorcs probably), Hextech Revolver, Needless(Bought only after RoA is COMPLETED), Deathcap, Zhonyas, ROA, Abyssal Scepter. ------ The ganks- First off always invade a lane from behind- Top lane is nice to gank, but-honestly. Nothing beats a 3v1 OH **** FLASH FLASH FLASH out of a enemy at bottom lane. It fills our hearts with America F*ck yeahs all day long. For the ganks you will need to know how to skill- Let's not forget the utility of singed also. R -> Q -> W -> E, With 1 Point into E at level 2. Level 4 -> QQWE Level 6 -> QQQWER Level 9 -> QQQQQWWER Level 12 -> QQQQQWWWWERR Level 16 -> QQQQQWWWWWEEERRR Level 18 -> DUH. Qx5 Wx5 Ex5 Rx5. (DUH). Positioning for ganks and throwbacks is what makes a great singed- If you cannot Flip someone backwards. You don't need to play singed. I hope this guide was informative and gave people inspiration to Rock the Tanky dps, because I **** on thee. (Yeah you Irelia, Yeah you Volibear, Yeah you Olaf, Yeah you Nocturne, Yeah you Lee Sin, Yeah all of you other tanky dps- Come at me. Breathe my air.) -protip for singed. 1 Health pot can and will make you able to gank 3 people at once. It'll give them that little hope of getting to you. Then you turn around and flip them and run the other way.
Why would a legit guide get down-voted.
CC Skidder
Its ok.
YEa. I was just wondering why would you get WoTA except it is for teamplay purposes?
oddone does jungle singed all the time
The Tsak
Dyrus jungle singed is better And you can start at wolves, mid will toss a spell and you'll have plenty of time to get blue
Im going to try this.
What happened when you get counter jungle by a fast one? Do you fight them at your first red?

"My mixed-media encaustic paintings are an investigation into the emotional responses generated by the natural environment. Composition, atmosphere, and the unique settings I encounter all contribute to these works.
Initially, using a series of photographs I have taken, I manipulate a picture digitally, incorporating various textures and colors to re-invent the feeling that a particular environment or object evoked. The resulting image is printed using archival inks and paper, mounted onto a wood panel and becomes the base for an encaustic painting. The translucent quality of encaustic directly applied to the surface augments whatever atmospheric condition the image holds. In addition, it is a media that allows for a broad range of surface textures and, by its very nature, speaks of the fragility of life and memory."

Legolas and Gimli. I'm rather hard to please in this category, mostly because of my Legolas antipathy. That's right, I don't get the lusting, I don't even get (half the time) the fascination. I've gone from indifference to "I just don't much like the Elf at all."
So when I find a Legolas-Gimli fic that makes me squeal with joy, it's a rare and good thing, and so I thought I'd share my joy and also categorize it for easy retrieval.
So here follow my favorites. It's a short list right now, and will likely grow slowly.

Display DriversLinux 3.5 Can Massively Boost AMD Radeon GraphicsThe Linux 3.5 kernel is capable of delivering some massive performance gains for some of the more recent generations of ATI/AMD Radeon graphics processors. Here's some benchmarks showing the hefty performance gains found when using the latest kernel that is still being developed.
7 June 2012 - 82 Comments Linux 3.4 Kernel Strengthens Intel GraphicsUp as an extra article from Munich is a comparison of Intel DRM drivers on recent Linux kernel releases while using Core i7 Ivy Bridge hardware. With the Linux 3.4 kernel there are definite Intel Linux graphics performance gains.
29 May 2012 - 2 Comments AMD Radeon Catalyst: Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 12.04 LTSNow having compared the graphics driver performance between Microsoft Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 Linux for the NVIDIA driver with the GeForce GTX 680 and the multi-platform Intel performance for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, here's a look at the AMD Catalyst driver performance with the Radeon HD 7950 graphics card when running between Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux.
23 May 2012 - 26 Comments The May 2012 Open-Source Radeon Graphics ShowdownUp for publishing today is a multi-card multi-driver comparison spanning several generations of discrete ATI/AMD Radeon graphics cards looking at the Radeon OpenGL performance as found by default in Ubuntu 12.04, as found when updating to the latest "Git" development code, when tweaking the latest development code for maximum performance, and finally when using the proprietary AMD Catalyst Linux display driver.
21 May 2012 - 50 Comments Ubuntu 12.04 Git'ed With Intel Ivy BridgeAs the Intel Ivy Bridge benchmarks being delivered on Phoronix and coming up in the coming days are frequently using the latest Intel Linux graphics development stack, for those curious here is a comparison between the stock Ubuntu 12.04 packages and when running the latest Linux kernel / Mesa / libdrm / xf86-video-intel Git DDX.
18 May 2012 - 2 Comments Intel Glamor Acceleration Compared To SNA, UXAGoing back to last year there's been the "Glamor Acceleration" project out of Intel to accelerate the 2D operations within X using OpenGL on Mesa. This is similar to the Xorg state tracker approach and while it's not yet enabled by default, Intel OTC developers have been making much progress in recent months. In this article is a look at the recent Glamor update while comparing it to the stock Intel UXA acceleration as well as to the other experimental acceleration option: Intel SNA.
17 May 2012 - 11 Comments Trying Out AMD's Radeon Gallium3D LLVM CompilerLast week the R600 LLVM compiler was hooked up for AMD's open-source Gallium3D driver. This LLVM shader compiler is important particularly for OpenCL enablement within the open-source Radeon Linux graphics driver, but still there is some ways to go before that code is ready for production use.
30 April 2012 - 3 Comments Running The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 On An Open-Source DriverThanks to clean-room reverse-engineering, it is already possible to run the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 "Kepler" graphics card on a fully open-source graphics driver complete with OpenGL acceleration. Here are the first benchmarks of this work-in-progress, community-created open-source GeForce 600 series graphics driver.
26 April 2012 - 13 Comments Testing Out The Major Nouveau libdrm RewriteCommitted to the Mesa and libdrm Git repositories last week for Nouveau, the open-source NVIDIA Linux driver, was the "major libdrm rewrite" designed to step-up this reverse-engineered driver. What impact did these invasive changes have on the Nouveau driver's performance? Here are benchmarks comparing before-and-after as well as how the Nouveau driver compares to the proprietary NVIDIA Linux graphics driver.
21 April 2012 - 7 Comments AMD To Drop Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 Catalyst SupportIn what will certainly be controversial and disappointing to some Radeon Linux desktop users, AMD will soon announce that they will effectively be discontinuing support for several Radeon product families from their proprietary Catalyst driver. After that point, for future Linux distribution updates, the open-source Radeon Linux driver will be your only option for accelerated graphics. This is likely happening with the Windows Catalyst driver too, but at least there they have a better-maintained legacy driver process.

New Haven (AP) — New Haven police say a man has been shot to death inside a city store during what was apparently a robbery.

College Football Week #5: MAC Champs Get Mad
by: Brian Gabrielle
Central Michigan, the 2006 MAC champions, isn't getting a lot of love from the wise guys, and perhaps with good reason. This team got torched 52-7 at Kansas to begin the year, lost by 23 at Purdue and, worst of all, were shocked at home last week by North Dakota St. by 30 points. That's not the way to defend one's title.
Still, I don't think they're getting enough respect Saturday against Northern Illinois. Garrett Wolfe is gone for UNI (he was college football's leading rusher in '06, and was last seen as a third-round draft pick this April by the Chicago Bears), and while Justin Anderson has done a good job replacing Wolfe so far, he's not the same kind of player. There are a few other factors at work in this game that send me the Chippewas way:
* For all the talent Central Michigan lost last year (including offensive linemen Joe Staley (an NFL first-rounder) and Drew Mormino, and defensive end Dan Bazuin, one of the best defensive players in MAC history), they returned last year's MAC Freshman of the Year in QB Dan LeFevour, a very good lead wideout in Bryan Anderson, a few solid running backs, and three of last year's starting O-line members.
* NIU is one of the youngest teams in the MAC, and if CMU's pass defense is shaky, so is the Huskies'. And I trust LeFevour to go to town on UNI more than I trust Dan Nicholson to go ballistic for the Huskies. Northern Illinois is also 1-3 (as is CMU), but they've played a far weaker schedule, including non-conference losses to Southern Illinois and Idaho.
* This is an emotional revenge game for the Chippewas. They lost only one MAC game last year, and it was in DeKalb, a blowout 31-10 loss. Plus, UNI has beaten CMU straight up in nine consecutive seasons. You have to go back to 1997 to find Central Michigan a winner in this game, which is a massive source of frustration for the Chippewas.
* This is Central Michigan's homecoming game, toward which they were most assuredly looking last week in the bad loss to NDSU. There's a reason the school made the team they can't beat into their homecoming game: to gain an emotional advantage.
* CMU is 8-0 against the spread in their last eight games as a home favorite and 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 home games overall. They're also 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 conference games. Meanwhile, despite having featured the country's leading rusher last year, UNI is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall, and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 MAC games.
Granted, Northern Illinois has simply owned Central Michigan for a decade, so we're buying into a losing streak here. But CMU has a quick-strike, big-play offense that should be able to take advantage of a young and shaky UNI secondary, which has been prone to allowing huge plays, including six scores of 26 yards or more in just four games. UNI has also collapsed with leads in games those against Southern Illinois and Idaho already this year. It'll take exorcising a lot of ghosts, but I think UNI is still living off the Wolfe name a little, to be less than a field-goal underdog visiting the defending MAC champs. Let's make history. Take Central Michigan (-2.5) hosting Northern Illinois.
Last Week: Get this. Not only did San Jose St. throw a 31-yard TD pass with 53 seconds left to take a 23-20 lead on Utah St. last week. They proceeded to celebrate and get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which led them to boot the ensuing kickoff from their own 15-yard line. The kick bounced high at the 50, and San Jose St. recovered it, and ran out the clock. Man, are we living right, or what? To our credit, SJSU QB Adam Tafralis did come back and play in this game as we said he would, and racked up 35-of-48 for 426 yards and three scores. We were dead in the water when it was 20-16 Utah St. (we had SJSU getting 3.5 points), but that late score, and the late shenanigans thereafter, sure did help. For the season, then, our free plays are a hearty 4-0 against the spread.

The explosion in tourism to this area of Spain has seen quiet fishing villages grow into modern holiday resorts offering Brits the ideal location to soak up the sun and take a dip in the warm waters of the Mediterranean whilst enjoying a myriad of activities and amenities. There is a good choice when it comes to picking a resort for your holiday to the Costa del Sol with perennial favourites Marbella, Fuengirola and Torremolinos popular amongst UK travellers.
Benalmadena Holidays
A short distance from Malaga airport Benalmadena has become a popular Costa Del Sol holiday choice. A great addition to the resort is Puerto Marina which moors hundreds of boats and has numerous shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs and is great for an evening out. The beach is a haven for sun worshippers during the day and with attractions such as Tivoli World not far away it is easy to see why Benalmadena is proving a Costa del Sol holiday hit. More about Benalmadena holidays
Fuengirola Holidays
The resort of Fuengirola is a short distance (just over 23km) from Malaga airport and home to the longest beach on the Costa del Sol. Fuengirola is the perfect choice for a fun beach holiday in the Costa del Sol with its 7 kilometre sandy beach ideal for sunbathing & swimming during the day whilst the town comes alive at night with a plethora of British pubs, clubs and bars to dance the night away. More about Fuengirola holidays
Marbella Holidays
A playground for the rich and famous, Marbella is more accessible than you may think and although there aren't many cheap deals to this Costa Del Sol holiday hotspot anymore it can be done on a budget, particularly out of the high season. The varied dining, world class shopping and luxurious beaches provide an exclusive feel. Throw in some multi million pound yachts and designer clad people and you have an essence of the cosmopolitan vibe that is Marbella. More about Marbella holidays
Torremolinos Holidays
The lively Costa del Sol holiday resort of Torremolinos is an entertaining destination where you can enjoy the sun on pristine beaches whilst partaking in a variety of water sports. Away from the beaches there is plenty to do including golf, the Aqualand water park or if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle there is the old part of town known as El Calvario. Ideal for a last minute holiday in the Costa Del Sol it is only a few miles from Malaga airport so you can hit the beaches within a few hours of departing from the UK. More about Torremolinos holidays
Estepona Holidays
The charming Costa del Sol holiday resort of Estepona provides a more authentic Spanish holiday experience than some of the more commercialised resorts along the coast but this provides the perfect venue for a family break or a relaxing holiday with your loved one. The beach and promenade are ideal for a leisurely stroll and bite to eat or drink in one of the restaurants or bars along the way. More about Estepona holidays
