House, Series Finale, Sky 1 | TV reviews, news & interviews
House, Series Finale, Sky 1
The melancholic medical drama wraps up on an almost upbeat note
It seems fitting that the final ever episode of a show that has revelled so gleefully in its main character's willful refusal to change should pivot on the question of whether, finally, he can. This introspective swansong found our misanthropic medic in by far his direst straits yet – no small feat, when you consider that previous finales have seen him get shot, go clinically insane and, most recently, end up in prison.
As we pick up, House's (Hugh Laurie) best friend and lifeline Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) had been given five months to live, and just as he'd begun to grapple with this devastating reality, a (tremendously clunky) plot twist saw him ordered back to jail for six, effectively ensuring he wouldn't even get to say goodbye to the one person he has always unequivocally needed. And so House did what any self-destructive anti-hero worth his salt would – he dropped off the map, shot up heroin with an ex-patient, and ended up in the basement of a burning building debating whether to be, or not to be.
The sudden introduction of suicidal thoughts could easily play as soapy, a cheap means of dragging some melodrama back into a show widely accepted to be past its prime. But House has always been a character with one foot in the self-inflicted grave – from his Vicodin abuse and intermittent drug overdoses to that one time he jabbed a knife into an electrical socket to find out if there was an afterlife. When he told underling Taub (Peter Jacobson) last week that he'd thought frequently of ending it all, it didn't play as a shock reveal, but a gentle reminder of what we already knew.
The procession of – to make the obvious but inevitable reference – ghosts of past, present and future that appeared offering guidance was as good a way as any for House to wrestle with his inner demons, and allowed for the pleasing return of a few familiar faces including House's ex-fellow Cameron (Jennifer Morrison, pictured above), ex-girlfriend Stacy (Sela Ward), and deceased colleagues Kutner (Kal Penn) and Amber (Anne Dudek).
These actors were in the curious position of playing mouthpieces rather than their characters, each representing a different argument for or against suicide. The most compelling was Kutner, House's one-time protégé who seemed happy-go-lucky until, in one of the show's most startlingly bleak episodes, he shot himself in the head. His argument was that "death isn't interesting", and thus makes no sense as an option for the puzzle-obsessed House.
But in the end House opted to have it both ways, and did so in a fashion that recalled the show's Holmesian roots. It's been easy to forget of late that this character is in every way inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and so a finale in which he fakes his own death and reveals the truth only to his Watson could not, in one sense, be any more fitting.
The show's creator David Shore and his team have been wise to place House and Wilson's relationship at the centre of this final arc – even as the show's quality wavered in recent seasons, this dynamic has remained a compelling anchor with Laurie and Leonard (pictured left) consistently bringing out the nuanced best in each other. The past three episodes, which have centred on the pair grappling with Wilson's increasingly grim cancer diagnosis, have been so wrenching and rich in emotional payoff that this more detached, cerebral offering felt somewhat anticlimactic by comparison.
On the other hand, it's a relief to be offered respite from what was shaping up to be an irredeemably bleak resolution for fans. It's hard to conceive of a crueller end than Wilson's death, and thanks to Shore's shameless have-your-cake-and-eat-it approach, we're spared this as a reality. What we get instead is not House making a sudden transformation into a reformed character, but House making an entirely plausible and wholly selfless decision that just may be his first. He gives up his career and his life to spend five last months with Wilson, because he has finally found the person he loves more than the puzzle.
And if that's still too downbeat an ending for you, consider this: in how many episodes have we seen one of House's patients of the week diagnosed firmly with cancer, only to have it turn out to be something much weirder and cooler and more treatable? Given the show's track record, there's every reason for fans to live in denial and believe House will pull a miracle diagnosis out of thin air now that he and Wilson have ridden off into the sunset together. "Everybody dies," the finale's title grimly informed us, but just maybe this time nobody does.

49ers' David Akers coping with struggles - 0 Comments
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — In both the first and most recent game of the 49ers' season, David Akers kicked a field goal that hit the goal post.
The first attempt, at Green Bay, hit the crossbar and bounced over from 63 yards to tie an NFL record. The latest, a 38-yarder in Atlanta, clanged unsuccessfully off the left upright.

This is a pretty complex area. I'm more familiar with the way XSLT describes the rules than XQuery (because I had to write them!) but I think it's basically the same semantics. It's your responsibility to create the necessary namespaces in the target document. This is illustrated in the example at the end of section 3.7.4: <quote> Note that the following constructed element, if nested within a validate expression, cannot be validated:
3
 The constructed element will have namespace bindings for the prefixes xsi (because it is used in a name) and xml (because it is defined for every constructed element node). During validation of the constructed element, the validator will be unable to interpret the namespace prefix xs because it is has no namespace binding. Validation of this constructed element could be made possible by providing a namespace declaration attribute, as in the following example:
3
 </quote> It's tricky in XQuery to create the namespace binding if you don't know at compile time what the required prefix and URI are. There's no equivalent of XSLT's xsl:namespace instruction. That's why I provided saxon:namespace() as an extension function to fill the gap. Reading the XQuery text now (late at night), it's not entirely clear to me how > element { node-name($t) } { > $e/@*, $e/* > } is supposed to work if one of the attributes is a QName and construction mode is preserve. This is what XSLT says: <quote> [ERR XTTE0950] It is a type error to use the xsl:copy or xsl:copy-of instruction to copy a node that has namespace-sensitive content if the copy-namespaces attribute has the value no and its explicit or implicit validation attribute has the value preserve. It is also a type error if either of these instructions (with validation="preserve") is used to copy an attribute having namespace-sensitive content, unless the parent element is also copied. A node has namespace-sensitive content if its typed value contains an item of type xs:QName or xs:NOTATION or a type derived therefrom. The reason this is an error is because the validity of the content depends on the namespace context being preserved. Note: When attribute nodes are copied, whether with xsl:copy or with xsl:copy-of, the processor does not automatically copy any associated namespace information. The namespace used in the attribute name itself will be declared by virtue of the namespace fixup process (see 5.7.3 Namespace Fixup) when the attribute is added to an element in the result tree, but if namespace prefixes are used in the content of the attribute (for example, if the value of the attribute is an XPath expression) then it is the responsibility of the stylesheet author to ensure that suitable namespace nodes are added to the result tree. This can be achieved by copying the namespace nodes using xsl:copy, or by generating them using xsl:namespace. </quote> and I think that's almost certainly what Saxon does in the XQuery case too, but I can't find equivalent text in the specification at the moment.

Chase Budinger suffers knee injury in Wolves' loss to Bulls
Nov 11, 2012, 1:19 PM EDT
The dunk above by Chase Budinger came early on in the Timberwolves' loss in Chicago on Saturday, and it might be the last highlight we see from him for at least a few games.
Budinger went down with a knee injury midway through the fourth quarter. The X-rays were negative, and he'll be reevaluated Sunday. But it didn't look good.
Kent Youngblood of the Star Tribune has the details:
The injury occurred midway through a brutally physical fourth quarter. The Bulls, protecting the basket like madmen (they had five fourth-quarter blocks) held a 78-70 lead when Dante Cunningham's 16-foot shot was blocked by Taj Gibson. In the ensuing scrum, Budinger — who had started in place of Roy — was hurt. Adelman thought his player had been pushed. Budinger, who initially didn't speak with reporters, spoke briefly with NBA.com as he was leaving for the team bus.
"It was one of those crazy plays where my foot got stuck," he said. "It got tangled up. I felt my leg twist. … The injuries are tough. It's frustrating because I've never had a knee problem [like this]."
Minnesota was already without J.J. Barea and Brandon Roy due to injuries, and that's on top of the already long-term problems being dealt with by Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio.
Minnesota has a talented group that should be competing for a playoff spot. But the team has been absolutely ravaged by injuries, so the hope is that the latest one isn't too serious, and that the losses don't pile up to the point where it makes coming back in the standings too tall of a task.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The Associated Press has found a secret letter from Al Qaeda's commander-in-chief in Africa to Islamic fighters in Mali. The letter details the group's long-term strategy for carving out an Islamic state in northern Africa, as well as pointing out mistakes and how to improve.

TIMBUKTU, MALI (Catholic Online) - The secret document was discovered by an AP reporter combing through papers left behind at the groups former headquarters in Timbuktu. The letter is incomplete and part of a larger document, but the nine recovered pages provide a treasure trove of information about the group.
The letter is signed by Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, which is the pen name of Abdelmalek Droukdel, the commander appointed by Osama bin Laden to supervise Al Qaeda operations in Africa.
Perhaps the most shocking admission found in the letter is that the organization needs to compromise on their strict Sharia standards to gain acceptance and victory.
Droukdel compares the movement to a baby, saying that they must be more gentle with the people they conquer, much like a parent with an infant.
"The current baby is in its first days, crawling on its knees, and has not yet stood on its two legs. If we really want it to stand on its own two feet in this world full of enemies waiting to pounce, we must ease its burden, take it by the hand, help it and support it until its stands," he wrote.
He chided the fighters by adding, "Every mistake in this important stage of the life of the baby will be a heavy burden on his shoulders. The larger the mistake, the heavier the burden on his back, and we could end up suffocating him suddenly and causing his death."
What Droukdel was criticizing was the swift imposition of Sharia law on the populace. Following the Islamic occupation of northern Mali and Timbuktu in particular, stories quickly emerged about stoning and beatings for those who infracted Sharia rules.
The letter suggests fighters should take a softer approach, at least at first. The letter also indicates that Al Qaeda is willing to accept some temporary setbacks and losses in order to preserve forces for future success.
Perhaps that is the most alarming bit of information extracted from the letter. Al Qaeda clearly plans to fight a very long-term conflict, grounded in ideology. Such conflicts can last for decades, or even generations.
The war on terror and the effort to dismantle Al Qaeda will not be easily won anytime soon. Any commitment to fighting Al Qaeda is likely going to be a lifelong commitment filled with difficult struggles and sacrifice.
Still, the letter also acknowledges that Al Qaeda is vulnerable to organized military intervention. In the face of sophisticated and disciplined military force, the organization is at a distinct disadvantage. However, the fact they recognize this is part of the reason Al Qaeda will be around for a very long time to come.

Hi mamas,
I've been stalking for the last little while so thought I should actually say hi. I'm 38 weeks tomorrow with my second little boy, DS1 turns three in a few weeks.
I had bp issues last time which led to an induction then c/s, hoping very much for a vbac this time. Bp has just started creeping up. Lots of pressure and sharp pelvic pains today so hopefully bubs is getting ready a little early.
Emnut... I have been following your posts about little Henry, I can't imagine what you're going through and have you both in my thoughts.
Hope everyone is getting as much rest as possible. Here is a lovely little article about the last days of pregnancy.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 05:06 PM
Hi all!
It's been a while between posts.. time is getting the better of me! 38w+1d today, cannot believe it at the completely over it stage and hoping she comes sooner rather than later
My placenta has moved completely out of the way so all systems go for a natural birth.. just freaking out about the actual labour as DS2 was posterior position and then turned but it was all very traumatic for me. Wondering if I should just ask for an epidural this time although I went drug free with the other 2 and they were both fairly quick (5 1/2hrs & 2 1/2hrs) so wishful thinking is that it's just going to get easier? lol
We bought our double pram last week and I'm keeping it in it's box until we need it.. I think I'm in denial hehe.. My bag is half packed.. will shove stuff in it when the time comes.. The bassinet is in our room awaiting bubs arrival and that's about it
I hope you're all doing as well as can be.. These last few weeks really drag on!
Emnut - My thoughts and prayers are with you and little Henry x
Posted 25 October 2012 - 10:28 PM
Was just popping in to see how things were going with emnut and Henry. Sorry to hear he isn't progressing. It must be so hard
Hopefully he gets better soon. Poor little bub.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 11:29 PM
Emnut - my thoughts are with you as well and im so sorry things arent progressing although i really do hope he gets better very soon
Stormgirl77 - im sorry you have all this extra stress of everything put on you now although i do hope everything goes to plan and very smoothly for you. Please keep in touch let us know how you go. hopefully being induced wont be too scary.
MalibuZoo - thats a big baby although they say scans can always differ by almost a kg out so bub may not be as big as they think although only time will tell.
suzy-c - yay not long to go now. yes i am tired and exhausted as well as very uncomfortable at the moment.
AbeautifulLife - i couldn't imagine moving into a new house at the moment with how exhausted i am so i wish you all the best for your move and you will deserve a much needed rest and good day of sleep after it although i know it can be exciting getting everything ready to move into a fresh and new renovated place. you're lucky there new addition to the family in a fresh environment
T.J - sorry to hear about the change in care your getting with different midwifes and your OB at each of your appointments. It must be very frustrating.i would hate to have to re count my whole pregnancy for each midwife each time i hope it gets better from here and you start seeing the same person at least.
lozzylots - 18 days thats very exciting. its good to hear that you're all set and organised for the arrival of the baby.
ms julz - welcome to the forum - you will get lots of support here so dont be scared to post
tanglez - i hope your anyday now goes quickly so you can have your baby in your arms.
justonemore - best of luck for your labour, you seem like you have everything sorted out, hopefully this 3rd goes as quick as your first 2.
i think i am now up to date with everyone..
AFM - it has been a busy busy week for me. so much running around. we now have everything all ready for the baby to arrive so im currently 35 +5 and today found out baby is engaged yay. my midwife said hes engaged and he wont be moving from the position he is in, but im not sure how far engaged he is as we didnt discuss that i was too happy and excited that i forgot to ask. finally something is happening it is all becoming so much more real now. but i am now struggling to drive, sit and sleep comfortably with the position he is in. but im excited. i have been getting constant braxton hicks and niggling pains. some stop me in my track which is scary as i think is this the start of it then 2 seconds later the pain disappears.
quick question to those who know or how have had previous babies.... do when the head engage more or less give a time frame for labour or not really. im just wondering as hes engaged now which i had suspected since last saturday seeing as i was getting alot of pains im wondering if this means he will come early?
fingers crossed for all the everything goes well xx. so exciting more and more babies from this DIG will make their debut very soon.
Posted 26 October 2012 - 06:25 AM
Hey ladies,
Just a quick one from me today.. as I have an obs appointment today..
Had an ultrasound yesterday.. bub is measuring a week over. So he is bigger than he should be..
Maybe know of a date today of when I might be induced.. I wonder if i can ask for a c section if I do get induced.. Question I may ask..
Will be back later .. hugs
Posted 26 October 2012 - 09:46 AM
Stormgirl - good luck at your appointment. No harm in asking about a c-section if that is your preference.
T.J. - the lack of continuity of care would be doing my head in too especially as you get near the end
MissJulz - feeding isn't an issue with Henry - in his few months of life he has had a whole 20 ml of feeds (f that) and atm is not having any feeds due severe NEC/short bowel syndrome. It is more the absolute drain of time of having him over an hour from home & also having DS1 to deal with. The days I'm not there (like at the moment) the guilt etc means that it isn't a restful day, even if DH has gone in instead of me.
Henry did end up having another blood transfusion that has helped to stabilise him. None of us can go in at the moment as we all have a flu bug yet again so feeling horrible for him that he is there all alone. Talking to his nurse this morning they are going to be adjusting his vent settings again through the day to hopefully try again to get him off.

Broodyhen thank you for sharing that wonderful article! It was just what I needed to read right now with three days until my due date Brought lots of tears to my eyes and made me tuck up frther under the doona!
Best wishes to all!
Posted 26 October 2012 - 07:14 PM
Good luck TJ! Hope all has gone smoothly for you!
Posted 26 October 2012 - 08:00 PM
Hi ladies, its all getting to the business end! How are you going with attaching emotionally to your babies? I've been so focused on work and things at home I'm kind of only just now thinking about how I'll feel meeting this baby. I'm not seeing a baby when I like look at my belly.
Posted 27 October 2012 - 05:55 AM
Hey ladies,
Well was on a ctg machine yesterday... was ok.. have to go back tomorrow for another monitor..
I will have bub within 10 days they said..
Yeah looks like I will have a big bub, dont really want vaginal if he is.. Just the thought scares me.. lol..
bbl, need to go shopping and finish my bag, i swear i dont need half the things ive put in, but you never know..
Posted 27 October 2012 - 07:13 AM
T.J. - hope something happens all on its own so there is no need for induction. I have asked about him being possibly lactose intollerant but have been told that he literally only has 25cm of small intestine left that is not working properly & doesn't absorb any feeds etc & apparently all the symptoms he is showing is typical of short bowel syndrome. So it really is just a matter or wait & see - it could be that we are looking at long term TPN, though this is something we don't want.
Stormgirl -did you end up asking about a c-section? Both my boys were born by c-section & the thought of a VB was always something I was a bit scared of too so in way I was glad not to have to make the choice.
Will be another day of not seeing Henry today. My face no longer feels like it is about to explode from my head so hopefully I'm on the home straight of getting better. DH & DS are in the lounge room arguing over who has the worse cough - talk about a house full of man flu. The good news is that Henry is coping with lower vent settings overnight & will be having them lowered further today & his NICU nurse told me he has had a really good 24 hours by his standards. Gives me some hope that if we are patient (not a virtue that I have) he may get through this.
Posted 27 October 2012 - 06:20 PM
There must be a cold going around because I have been sick for 3 days now The last thing you want right before your due date lol! Thankfully am able to just rest lots and keep the fluids up - fingers crossed I get my strength back before labour!
Belly rubs all round
Posted 28 October 2012 - 05:35 AM
Tanglez - I have had the sniffles too..
I am off to the hospital this morning for another monitor on the CTG machine.. Getting lots of tightenings..
Hope you ladies have a great day.
Posted 28 October 2012 - 02:21 PM
hope your bloods have showed not too astray T.J. & that the cold stays away
Tanglez - hope your cold disappears well before you also have birth to contend with.
DS is feeling much better today & actually wanting to play for the first time since last Sunday so thinking (hoping) that this will be a week long thing - though that will mean no seeing Henry until about Thursday. Henry has had another good 24 hours - didn't cope with a further lowering of the vent settings just yet but didn't have to go back to square 1 either.
Posted 29 October 2012 - 08:20 AM
Hey TJ,
Monitoring went ok.. Was on the machine for 2 hours. Got to have it done again tomorrow before my obs app..
So are we all ready ?? Everything is in the car ready.. Car seat, bags..
Posted 29 October 2012 - 08:43 AM
Hi ladies. Sounds like it's all starting to happen!! How exciting. Hope everyone is recovering from colds, and that things are either settling back down or progressing to some healthy, safely arrived babies
Had GP appt end of last week, BP also a little high but it's the first time that's happened. Going back tomorrow to get it checked out again. Bubs still going fine, HB good and measurements on track. I'm feeling very uncomfortable with really itchy, tight and sore skin on my belly, it's driving me nuts. But otherwise all really good here.
Stormgirl, I think we're ready!! Physically anyway - bags packed, nursery ready and waiting and car seat installed. Bubs told she's welcome any day now
Good luck this week - can't wait for the announcements to come rolling in!!
Posted 29 October 2012 - 01:58 PM
Hi everyone,
Well it's been a lifetime since I've been in to read on the DIG thread ... I've been using the FB page and have enjoyed keeping up with everyone's progress but I'm just not finding enough hours in the day to pop back here and check with everyone else - sorry
So I'll hit the 38wk mark on Wednesday which is very exciting but as for most of us, I'm getting a little impatient and just want this baby to be born already. I'm sore, tired, achey, waddly, running out of clothes and just generally uncomfortable. My DS1 and DS2 were both induced at 7days and 6days overdue so I'm not holding my breath for an early arrival for this little one ... I'm clinging to hope that the date from my LMP is the correct date and I'm actually a week further ahead than the early scan showed ... but not likely LOL.
I had a growth scan last week which showed our bub is sitting roughly on the 91st percentile so we're expecting a BIG boy. Each visit, the midwife/doc asks "did you have the GTT" to which I reply "yes" and they say "did it come back ok?" and they check again and confirm that the results were fine ... we're just one of the 'lucky' ones that grows big babies ! Current weight estimate last week was 8lb3oz already so given another few weeks to fatten up we could be looking at a very decent size baby. Hoping my inner girly bits survive delivery of another big baby
Nursery is complete.
Baby bag is packed.
Hospital bag is 1/2 packed.
Labour bag - not yet started - maybe today?
Capsule being fitted on Sunday.
Still deciding on a name for our little guy ... maybe tonight?
And I think that just about covers it.
Hope everyone else is doing OK - thinking of you all and wishing you smooth and safe deliveries ... I'll try to keep up a little more over November to watch for baby news
Posted 29 October 2012 - 02:04 PM
Today is my official due date and I am shedding a few tears of joy and gratitude for a wonderful, healthy pregnancy. It really is happening for us all Can't wait to hear the announcements come in and sending best wishes to everone in this final waiting game. May you be well cared for and loved xox
Posted 29 October 2012 - 02:28 PM
StormGirl 77- haha yes the thought of a big baby naturally scares me as well. although yay you have a time frame of when you will have you baby. things are beginning to get exciting.
Emnut - I really hope you get better soon so you can go back in to see Henry. You're so strong and so is he. its great to hear hes been having good days.
Tanglez - i have had the sniffles as well so not terribly sick but i caught something although you must be very excited. Happy due date day. i can't wait to hear all the announcements and exciting news that everyone has to share as well.
T.J - Hopefully all goes well at your next visit. It must be a pain having to constantly go back for check ups but its all for baby so we all know its worth it. fingers crossed for a natural start to your labour.
Suz01 - I'm beginning to be a bit of an emotional wreck because i want baby here although ill miss his little kicks and movements in my belly so I'm torn about how ill feel once i cant feel him dancing inside of me any more
lozzylots - great to hear you're going good. and hopefully it wont be much longer that you will have to deal with the uncomfortable itchy and tight skin on your belly. Baby will be here soon.
christmas is coming - there's a facebook page?? im missing out then haha. I hope this one does come different to your two previous bubs and not overdue im 36 wks and 2 days and beginning to get a little impatient as well because i am really beginning to struggle with getting comfortable in bed to sleep. Hopefully you have a very nice delivery of your big boy for your girlie bits as well.
i think i am now up to date. Its beginning to get so exciting because November is almost here
i have been getting tightenings and some painful braxton hicks that make my hips have sharp pains which run down my legs and i have for a week now been getting on and off period type pain feelings around my belly so it makes me wonder if this is the beginning of the "labour" i haven't had a baby before so i don't know what to really look out for but i have been told these are some of the early signs that labour may not be far away. so fingers crossed. Baby is still engaged if my gorgeous and very lady like waddle with legs apart is anything to go by im getting very excited to meet this little monster and i cannot wait, but at the same time i dont feel 100% ready just because i would like the house to be 100% perfect and cleaned and dusted even though it is i just feel like it isn't but i worry to much.
We have the baby seat in the car all good to go. babies bag for the hospital is ready my bag is 95% ready my husbands snack bah is good to go...the babys room is all set and we're all stocked up on nappies and all those little bits and pieces we need to clean his bottom and bathe him. We have his name and feel ready to meet him so now we play the waiting game.
come on baby come on.....

Posted 30 October 2012 - 07:53 PM
Had check up at GP today. He couldn't feel bubs' head in my pelvis so sent me for a scan. She's turned back sometime in the last week and is breech with her legs folded up. I'm being booked in for c-section, there's not enough fluid for ECV and they're pretty much certain she won't turn back around in such little fluid. I find out tomorrow when I'll be booked in, all I know is that they want to do it as close to 38+5 as possible (38+2 today).
Oh well. Bubs is happy and perfectly fine, that's the main thing. Just have to get my head back around having a caesarian. Keep you posted.

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 (Intel Z77 with Ivy Bridge) Motherboard Review - CPU BenchmarksWe check out the brand new ASRock Z77 Extreme6 with our Intel Core i7 3770k Ivy Bridge CPU in our first full Z77 motherboard review.
HyperPi 0.99
Version and / or Patch Used: 0.99
Developer Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
Product Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
HyperPi is a front end for SuperPi that allows for multiple concurrent instances of SuperPi to be run on each core recognized by the system. It is very dependent on CPU to memory to HDD speed. The faster these components, the faster it is able to figure out the number Pi to the selected length.
For our testing we use the 32M run. This means that each of the four physical and four logical cores for the i7 and the four physical cores of the i5 is trying to calculate the number Pi out to 32 million decimal places. Each "run" is a comparative to ensure accuracy and any stability or performance issues in the loop mentioned above will cause errors in calculation.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.00.1035BETA
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.AIDA64.com
Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
Starting off with HyperPI we can see that performance on the Z77 Extreme6 with the 3770k is strong compared to the 2600k with a good 30 seconds being shaved off our overall time.
As for AIDA64 performance numbers we're sitting closer to the 3960X than the lower end 2600k. Of course overclocking helps push performance even higher offering some really good numbers.

John Legend Performance at Northwestern Supported by Gand Concert Soundâs NEXO GEO T Rig and Yamaha PM5D-RH
BUENA PARK, Calif.â¯GRAMMY® Award-winning singer/songwriter John Legend recently performed for an audience of 5,500 at the Welsh-Ryan Arena on the campus of Northwestern University supported by Gand Concert Sound, providing the audio and SCS Productions, providing the lighting and staging. The event, produced by A&O Productions, was held to celebrate the inauguration of new Northwestern president, Morton Schapiro and also featured Northwestern-affiliated performers. It was the first time in four years that a concert had been held in the venue.
As part of the audio rig, Gand provided 12 NEXO CD18s, 10 GEO T4805s and two GEOT2815s per side for out fill. Eight GEO T4805s and a T2815 were used per side for mains, left and right; four NEXO PS8s were used as front fills. Since the band was on in-ears, three NEXO PS15s were used for stage monitors. A Yamaha PM5D-RH digital audio console performed front of house duties.
âSince the arena was set up for stadium seating on the sides, the side hangs where bigger than the mains,â? states Gary Gand, President, Gand Concert Sound. âI used to go to concerts at NU when my wife was a student there and, acoustically, it was a typical nightmare athletics-type room. Bands like Mountain, Springsteen, Simple Minds, even the Dead, just got swallowed up in echo. Now that the NEXO Tangent Array has proven itself in thousands of shows, the venue has changed radically into a pretty nice-sounding, mid-sized room with great potential.â?

One of the most competent and compassionate doctors I have ever known.
Apr 30th, 2009
First of all, she doesn't return phone calls. Secondly, I had a mild thyroid problem and a feeling of unwellness. She would not listen to how I was feeling or ask questions. I requested my blood results and she wrote:" her thyroid tests are all very normal. she shouldn't be on any replacement med." I went to another doctor who reviewed tests and talked with me and prescribed thyroid medication. Who is she telling other doctors how to practice medicine and trying to keep me from getting the medicine that I am needing?

As the school year is about to begin, the Beterem-Israel Center for Child Safety and Health organization noted that 27 children died from unintentional injury during the two-month summer vacation compared to 18 during the same period last year and 23 in the summer of 2012. Of the total this season, eight were killed in road accidents and 11 drowned.Beterem director Orly Silberger said that even without the effects of Operation Protective Edge, the summer was deadly to children and that she hoped that with youngsters back in school, adults would be more careful to keep an eyes on them.As for other ways to promote children's health during the school year, Nili Arbel, head of physiotherapy at Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah Tikva, said that carrying the right schoolbag and wearing the right shoes were important. Schoolbags should have broad straps so as not to cut into the shoulders, have a padded back and contain a number of dividers to balance heavy objects.The heaviest part should be opposite the middle of the back and not the pelvis; if not, use the buckles to shorten or length the straps. The filled schoolbag should never weight more than 15 percent of the child's weight.If placed on wheels, there is less of a burden on the back, but it is less suited to go up and down stairs and requires the child to pull it with one arm behind him. Arbel recommends that the child alternate arms to balance out the effort.Shoes should be rounded and broad in the front rather than pointed, and be made of flexible material. They should be large enough for the socks to fit without pressure.Dr. Meir Neufeld, a pediatric ophthalmologist at Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Medical Center, suggested that every child entering first grade undergo an eye examination so he can properly see everything on the board. The most common problem at this age is the need for glasses for distance vision or astigmatism (an optical defect in which vision is blurred because the eyes are unable to focus an object into a sharp-focused image on the retina).All children should learn to do their homework and use computers at a proper distance and with enough light, he said. After about three-quarters of an hour of reading, the child should rest his eyes by looking at a distance for 10 minutes.Adina Ben Aharon, head of nutrition and diet at Soroka University Medical Center in Beersheba, recommended starting the school year by planning children's meals for a week in advance.They should not leave the house without having a nutritious breakfast, even if it is a bowl of cereal and milk with the least amount of sugar and the most amount of whole grains or a whole-grained piece of bread with a healthy spread.For a mid-morning snack, they should get a sandwich with low-fat cheese, tuna, an omelet or hard-boiled egg and vegetables and a piece of fruit.It is best to prepare these the night before and keep them in the refrigerator until they leave. Yogurt, dried fruit, granola and other healthy snacks are preferable to junk food. Give them a bottle of cold water rather than sweetened drinks.Prof. Asher Tal of Soroka's pediatrics department and sleep disorders clinic said that elementary school children should get 10 to 11 hours of sleep at night to function properly in school. In high school, pupils should get nine hours of sleep. It is best that they avoid sleeping longer than 45 minutes during the day and not later than 5 p.m. to get a good night's sleep.In the afternoon, it is best if they get some physical activity outdoors such as bike riding or playing ball games instead of just sitting in front of the TV or computer, he concluded.

Cleveland sets Snuggie world record
CLEVELAND -- Cleveland has its original world record covered.
Fans attending Friday's game between the Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons set a world record for the largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets.
All fans in attendance had a Snuggie placed on their seats prior to the game. During a timeout in the first quarter, fans were asked to wear the wine-colored blankets with arms for five minutes as a clock on the scoreboard counted down. Most everyone complied -- except for one fan wearing a Celtics jersey and another who thought ahead and brought a Pistons Snuggie. The rest of the sellout crowd of more than 20,000 turned the Q into a sea of red blankets, counting down the final seconds and cheering as the world record clock expired.
An adjudicator from Guinness World Records attended the game to make the record official.
Danny Girton Jr., an adjudicator executive with Guinness World Records, said there was no existing record, so the records management team opened a new category for Friday's event.
Girton said he was looking for four parameters in order for the record to become official: At least 250 people have to participate, they must all wear their own Snuggie, they need to wear it for five minutes and they all must be the same color.
All of the Cavaliers players were given their own personalized Snuggie. Shaquille O'Neal's needed 9 feet of material -- 2 to 3 feet more than a typical Snuggie for the 7-foot-1 O'Neal. Rookie Danny Green wore his Snuggie on the court for pregame shootaround.

A seismic shift of stuff is underway in homes all over North America.
NEW YORK — Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn and a hotel maid settled her lawsuit Monday over sexual assault allegations that sank his political career and spurred scrutiny of his dealings with women on two continents.
State Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon announced that after lengthy negotiations in the suit brought by Nafissatou Diallo, the parties "came together and put terms of a settlement on the record." The amount of the settlement was kept confidential.
Strauss-Kahn did not attend the hearing on Monday at a Bronx courthouse. Diallo, her hair covered by a leopard-print scarf, looked composed and resolute as the deal was announced.
"I thank everybody all over the world and everybody at the court, and God bless you all," Diallo said afterward.
Her attorney, Kenneth Thompson, called her "a strong and courageous woman who never lost faith in the justice system. With this resolution, she can move on with her life."
In a statement, attorneys William Taylor III and Amit Mehta, thanked the judge.
"On behalf of Mr. Strauss-Kahn, we are pleased to have arrived at a resolution of this matter," they said. "We are grateful to Judge McKeon whose patience and forbearance allowed this agreement to be formulated."
The lawsuit stemmed from a May 2011 hotel suite encounter that also led to criminal charges, forced Strauss-Kahn's resignation from the IMF and cut off his potential candidacy for the French presidency.
Diallo, a 33-year-old housekeeper from Guinea, told police Strauss-Kahn forced her to perform oral sex and tried to rape her after she arrived to clean his suite. The 63-year-old Strauss-Kahn, who has since separated from his wife, has said what happened was "a moral failing," but was consensual.
The criminal case was dropped after prosecutors said Diallo had credibility problems.
She said she always told the truth about what happened between the two and would press her claims in the lawsuit. Strauss-Kahn called the suit defamatory and countersued for $1 million.
On Monday, the judge said he first met with Diallo earlier this year.
"At that time we discussed her willingness to allow settlement negotiations to take place in this case," he said.
"I've developed a great affection for all of you," the judge continued, referring to the parties, "and have gotten to know Ms. Diallo through the time that I spent with her. I want to say what a privilege it has been to work with all of you and to work on this case."
After Diallo came forward, other sexual allegations emerged against Strauss-Kahn, who had been known as a womanizer but largely viewed as debonair.
French judges are to decide by Dec. 19 whether to annul charges linking him to a suspected prostitution ring run out of a luxury hotel in Lille. He acknowledges attending "libertine" gatherings but says he didn't know about any women getting paid to participate.
Another inquiry, centred on allegations of rape in a hotel in Washington, D.C., was dropped after French prosecutors said the accuser, an escort, changed her account to say she wasn't forced to have sex.
And French prosecutors also have looked into writer Tristane Banon's allegations that Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her during an interview in 2003, a claim she made public after his New York arrest and he called imaginary and slanderous. Prosecutors said they believed the encounter qualified as a sexual assault, but the legal timeframe to pursue her complaint had elapsed.
The Associated Press does not name people who report being sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Diallo and Banon have done.
Several hours before the court date in New York, Strauss-Kahn was seen in Paris leaving his new residence in the Left Bank neighbourhood of Montparnasse. Dressed in jeans, a white shirt and open black jacket and clutching a stack of dossiers, he ducked into a black Audi waiting for him. Asked by AP Television News if he was relieved the New York end of his legal problems would soon be over, he refused to respond.
