A Global Central Bank?

Justice Is Not Served by Government Economic Planning
By Dr. Shawn Ritenour
Do we need a supranational authority to enforce social justice? The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (PJCP) seems to think so. Its new document, "Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority," calls for global economic regulation by a supranational body and a central world bank to rule world financial institutions in an effort to enforce social justice. It also calls for numerous specific state interventions in the market such as taxing specific financial transactions.
As Jeff Tucker of the Ludwig von Mises Institute notes, this call for increased economic statism is particularly unfortunate because the document diagnoses the cause of the economic crisis relatively well. The problem was created by government manipulation of the monetary system and the inflation it fostered. Monetary inflation in the form of credit expansion fueled a housing bubble that spawned a derivative bubble and a general credit bubble. Such severe malinvestment necessarily resulted in a cluster of entrepreneurial losses as the inflationary boom reversed itself into the Great Recession. Because artificial central bank-created monetary inflation caused the problem, it seems unlikely that central bank-created monetary inflation can also solve the problem.
Additionally, the Vatican document promotes a severe error of mistaken jurisdictions. While it rightly warns against turning the market into an idol, it also claims that "the crisis has revealed behaviors like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale."
While it is true that the crisis revealed many unholy practices, the Vatican's PCJP is making a big mistake in thinking that behaviors such as selfishness and collective greed can be solved through global economic planning, or any state action for that matter. The institution that exists to make disciples of Christ in all nations is the church, not the state.
If Christians fear that a free economy will result in an unbridled capitalism that produces a society characterized by harsh, greedy, unrestrained industrialists who stop at nothing as they increase their fortunes, they misconstrue the nature of the free market. In a free society, entrepreneurs must convince people to voluntarily buy from them. The action of a profit-seeking entrepreneur, therefore, is far from unregulated. He will be constrained by his conscience and also regulated by consumer preferences. If people do not want to buy from an entrepreneur with a reputation for wrong-doing, no one can force them to. The accounting firm Arthur Andersen, for example, went into bankruptcy at the mere allegation of improper accounting.
The Christian ethic of private property does not allow Christians to use the coercive state to achieve their ends for a better society. Instead Christians are called to evangelize and disciple converts in the paths of righteousness. This is how the Church can properly act to regulate the economy. As the church is faithful in its mission, those who believe will begin to be more loving and kind to their neighbors. If Christians want different market outcomes, they should be obedient in their calling and have faith that God can transform the hearts and minds of men and women.
Not only is state intervention in the economy an ineffective way to thwart spirits of greed and selfishness, it also runs contrary to the Christian ethic of private property. In so doing, government intervention in the marketplace is socially destructive, because it hampers voluntary exchange, artificially constrains the natural division of labor, and makes it harder for entrepreneurs to use prices in calculating profit and loss, thereby making it harder to direct scarce economic goods to their most valued ends. All of these consequences culminate in relative general impoverishment. Calls for a supranational central bank and global economic regulation in the wake of the economic crisis are the sort of destructive policy prescriptions we get when people do not understand basic economics or the nature and role of the Federal Reserve and state intervention in the economy.
Dr. Shawn Ritenour is a professor of economics at Grove City College, contributor to The Center for Vision & Values, and author of "Foundations of Economics: A Christian View."

text: we went to this restaurant for lunch. It was very busy but that was OK, we were happy to enjoy the buzz. Unfortunately, the food took a very long time to arrive, even the cold starter. The main courses were average (my chicken was quite tough) and not presented at all attractively. Overall... read more

text: Did the Webelo's woods camping event with my youngest this weekend at Camp Wanockset in Dublin, NH. Thanks to all those who gave us some ideas for foil pack recipes, there will be food photos later! The day started off cold and sunny, at around 32 and frosty. We had warm sleeping bags and the trusty LL Bean tent for shelter, with the coolers packed and ready to go with some simple foods and refillable water bottles. For the most part, everything fit in the two backpacks, with the exception of my not taking the time to attach the sleeping bags because we were running out of time to meet another family. Did my best to get everything into a backpack so Matt would start to get used to that idea instead of the "car camping" or trailer camping we do all the time. Lots of parents brought large coolers and tons of stuff for just one night. Here's our LL Bean tent on the platform: Once settled in we went to the lake area for opening ceremonies and to watch the older kids practice with the potato canon (don't try that at home kids!). Then on to Forestry class for the kids for 3 hours, check out the slice of the Sequoia tree in the dining hall. That outer white ring near the bark has 85 annual growth rings in it. We all lost count, but there are several hundred years of growth rings in that slab and it's considered a small redwood: Matt went to wait in line for the rock climbing wall activity later in the afternoon; but after spending 45 minutes in line and not getting much closer we decided to head back and start the fire for cooking in the early evening. Our neatly wrapped, triple layered foil packs with ham, onion and potatoes just sizzling away: Matt was pretty psyched to dig in, the aroma of cooking foil packs was getting us hungry: After getting our fill, and then spending some relaxing hours around the fire while the kids caused general mayhem and mischief, we drifted off to sleep to the sounds of nature (also known as a bunch of uncomfortable, middle aged men snoring like bears). Along around 3:00 am the temperature had dropped to about 45 degrees and the rain came down. Not just a shower, but a very steady downpour that did not stop all day. So what do you do if your a tired, cold ten year old who hears the sound of rain on the tent? You do like everyone else and pull the covers over your head and keep sleeping: So here's where things kind of fell apart. I had intended to get photos of the morning, but my new waterproof camera had a dead battery. I stuck with my trusty old cheap Nikon that I use for work which never dies, but would not survive the downpour. I had brought the 35 year old single burner stove and used it the night before, but did not take the time to light it in the morning due to the need to pack in the heavy rain. We were scheduled for second seating at breakfast (the place was packed). By the time 8:30 rolled around our camp area was all packed, cleaned and passed inspection and we headed to the dining hall like a pack of wet dogs. However, all the first seating folks had decided to enjoy their dry dining hall and there was no room for us. Having gone two hours past my normal time for coffee, we decided to head on out and get some coffee on the road. The kids did well on the packing, but were not going to take standing in the rain outside a packed dining hall for very long, and neither was I. It was great and I'm looking forward to many more. This camp allowed folks to bring small stoves for food prep, so there were quite a few others there with them, so I'll get a shot of that stove yet!

|ESPN.com: Men's College Basketball
|[Print without images]
Favorite: Gonna go out on a limb here and say North Carolina. The caveat? Going undefeated in this league, and consequently for the season, will be a herculean task, particularly if Duke continues to play at a high level.
Most surprising team: Picked to finish 11th in the conference, Boston College is 10-2 with decent wins over UAB and Providence. Always a good scorer, Tyrese Rice has become a better playmaker. He's averaging 6 assists per game.
|Tyrese Rice has led BC to a surprising 10-2 start.
Mystery team: Maryland. Welcome to the ACC cliffhanger. Will the Terps return to the NCAA tournament? Can Gary Williams keep his job? Yes. Maryland thumped Michigan State 80-62 in Orlando, Fla. No. The Terps needed overtime to beat Vermont. Maybe. That seems about right. Maryland is in hoops purgatory right now, a team that could play its way into the tournament or play its way back to irrelevance.
Best player: Tyler Hansbrough. OK, so he missed four games, but Hansbrough has made up for it, averaging 22.7 points and 7.1 rebounds since his return. With 10 ACC Player of the Week honors in his career, Hansbrough looks sure to add another record to his résumé before he graduates. Antawn Jamison owns the record with 12 ACC weekly honors.
Top performance: Hansbrough against Notre Dame. In his third game back from a stress reaction, Hansbrough went for 34 points, outmuscling Luke Harangody in a battle of top big men.
Strangest score: Northwestern 73, Florida State 59. How the Seminoles not only suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Wildcats but got trounced remains a mystery.
What you might not have realized: Duke is rated the No. 4 team in the country according to kenpom.com. The Blue Devils are the 13th most efficient team on offense (ranking points per 100 possessions) but -- here's the surprise -- eighth in defensive efficiency.
Reason to brag: The ACC, not the Big East, has put up the nonconference numbers to stake a claim as strongest league in the country. ACC teams are 104-22, with winning records against every other conference except the Big East, against which they are 6-6.
Reason to worry: Eliminate North Carolina, Duke, Clemson and Wake Forest (combined 9-1), and the rest of the league is 6-14 against teams ranked in the top 50 according to the Sagarin ratings.
Who's going dancing: North Carolina, Duke, Clemson and Wake Forest are on the right side of the bubble; Miami, Maryland, NC State are either on it or popped off.Dana O'Neil covers college basketball for ESPN.com and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Greatest Game Show Hosts Quiz
The very first television show ever to air was a game show called "Spelling Bee." From those humble beginnings, the genre has spread around the world, bringing laughter, thrills and prizes to generations of eager contestants and home viewers. One thing all great game shows have in common: a charming host to help guide hopeful contestants to their pot of gold. As we celebrate the life of Star Search host Ed McMahon, who was born on March 6, 1923, we invite you to take our quiz and see how much you know about some of the greatest game show hosts of all time.
The Lucy-Desi Quiz
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz rewrote the book on television. As the married stars of their own TV sitcom, I Love Lucy, they broke taboos becoming one of television's first bicultural couples and by openly acknowledging Ball's pregnancy and incorporating it into the show's storyline. Together they pioneered a new paradigm for television production and distribution and built an empire in the process. And, of course, they were hilarious and adorable together on camera, too. Take our Lucy and Desi quiz and see how much you know about their amazing lives on screen and off.

Our review criteria consist of 10 different elements that we think all health care news stories about interventions should include. We think these criteria address the basic issues that consumers need to know in order to develop informed opinions about these interventions – and how/whether they matter in their lives. In some cases, it may be impossible or unreasonable for a story to address some of our criteria, in which case we'll say so in our comments. We may rate certain such criteria as not applicable in some cases.
Each of the criteria are at least partially influenced by, and appear in, the following seminal publications:
About 70% of the stories we review fail to satisfy this criterion.
We expect stories to give readers some sense – a quantitative estimate – of the scope of the potential benefit. Many stories:
Many stories emphasize or exaggerate potential benefits while minimizing or completely ignoring potential harms. They may:
We expect journalists to critically evaluate the evidence, not merely to take published or presented research as gospel. Many stories:
This criterion assesses whether a story exaggerates or over-sells a condition. There are different forms of "mongering" – turning risk factors into diseases (e.g., low bone mineral density becomes osteoporosis); misrepresentation of the natural history and/or severity of a disease (e.g., early-stage low-grade prostate cancer); medicalization of minor or transient variations in function (e.g. temporary erectile dysfunction or female 'sexual dysfunction'); medicalization of normal states (baldness, wrinkles, shyness, menopause); or exaggeration of the prevalence of a disorder (e.g., using rating scales to 'diagnose' erectile dysfunction).
In order to get a satisfactory score on this criterion, two things must occur: There must be an independent expert source quoted (someone not directly connected with the research) and there must be some attempt to let the public know about potential conflicts of interest.
We understand that news wants to cover what's new. But we think there's an obligation to put the new into the context of existing alternatives that have a longer, more proven track record. Unsatisfactory stories may:
Does the story make a drug sound like it's available at the corner drug store (or may be soon) when it's really only in an early-phase trial? Does it feature one doctor promoting a technology without providing a sense of how many trained doctors there are, or what the learning curve is? Did it allow promoters to make unfounded predictions of FDA approval or widespread availability? There needs to be some sense of history – of the thousands of previous flashes in the pan in medical research that were equally exciting but never panned out.
Many "new" treatments, tests, products or procedures are not really novel. The agent may be another member of a well-established therapeutic class of drug; even if it represents a new class, it may offer no more than the drugs that are widely available. In the press release for a new drug this essential information may be lost in the hype and the drug is portrayed as "novel" in order to increase initial sales. We believe that journalists should be able to make these distinctions by doing their research or by asking independent sources.
It is simply not sound journalistic practice to lift material directly from a news release without stating that this is the case. This criterion will rarely be employed. If, on the front end, we know that a news release was sent out and if we can get a copy of that release, we will review it along with the story.
There are multiple ways to search our reviews. You may search by keyword, news source or review rating.

Burke scored 22 points while shooting 8 for 23 from the field. He also contributed six rebounds, four steals and four assists. For the year, he is averaging 12.9 points, 4.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds.
Burke was just 2-for-13 from beyond the arc, and his overall shooting numbers are down from his rookie campaign.
"I feel like I kind of let my teammates down," he said. "I got some great looks, but I feel like I shot too many 3s. ... It was a bad night for me, and I've got to do better. Period."
Jazz guard and defending champion Trey Burke will be joined by Wizards guard John Wall, Bulls guard Jimmy Butler, Hawks guard Jeff Teague, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams, Bucks guard Brandon Knight and Suns guard Isaiah Thomas in the skills competition.
Burke turned in his highest point total since Jan. 3 while playing 31 minutes off the bench, but the Jazz still took their fourth loss in the last five games. He also tallied four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. The Jazz will move ahead to face the Suns in Phoenix Friday.
"He told me he needs to see me improve more on defense," Burke said, via Deseret News.
Snyder said he's been impressed with Burke's willingness to take constructive criticism during some of his struggles this season. Burke was replaced by guard Dante Exum in the starting lineup.
"There's been a number of times this year where there's been something that's happened where I've pointed it out, and there's been consequences," Snyder said. "Every time that's happened, he's thanked me for holding him accountable."
The U.S. team will be represented by 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams and forward Nerlens Noel; Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine and forward Shabazz Muhammad; Magic guards Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo; Jazz guard Trey Burke; Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwelll-Pope; Nets center Mason Plumlee; and Hornets center Cody Zeller.
The world team will be represented by Jazz guard Dante Exum and center Rudy Gobert; Bucks guard Giannis Antetokounmpo; Nets guard Bojan Bogdanovic; Hawks guard Dennis Schroder; Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic; Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins and center Gorgui Dieng; Thunder center Steven Adams; and Celtics center Kelly Olynyk.
"I was locked in from the start and I was looking at ways to attack the defense before I even got out there," Burke said.
Coach Quin Snyder said he was able to anchor the defense well Saturday.
"He is one of the guys that's finding a good balance between scoring and playmaking," Snyder said. "The other thing I thought he did is he guarded. When your point guard is at the point of the attack, is tough-minded defensively and willing to talk, that anchors your whole defense."
In two straight games coming off the bench, Burke is averaging 14.5 points 2.5 assists and two rebounds.
The move is somewhat surprising, as starter Trey Burke is healthy. In 42 games this season, Exum has averaged 4.7 points and 2.0 assists. Coach Quin Snyder said he made the move in order to give the team a jolt, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
Burke missed Monday's loss to the Pacers while dealing with strep throat. It will be the third straight game Kanter has missed while dealing with an ankle sprain. Center Rudy Gobert has been starting in Kanter's place.
The Jazz are 10 1/2-point underdogs.
Utah is a 9 1/2-point underdog at Chicago.
Favors led the way with 27 points and 11 rebounds. He shot 10 of 16 from the floor, and 7 of 10 from the charity stripe. He also added one assist, two blocks and one steal while logging 43 minutes of game action. He has doubled up 10 times this season.
Hayward scored 24 points and grabbed seven boards while shooting 6 of 17 from the floor. He missed all five of his attempts from downtown, but knocked down 12 of 13 free throw attempts. He added three assists and one block while logging 42 minutes of game action in a 105-101 defeat.
Burke is averaging 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this year. Rookie Dante Exum will likely get the start for Utah.
The Jazz are currently 2 1/2-point favorites against the Pacers.
If Burke can't play, rookie Dante Exum likely would start.
Burke topped the 26-point effort he posted on Tuesday thanks to an excellent and efficient shooting performance. He also racked up six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes of action in the win. The Jazz will move on to face the Pacers Monday.
It's the second time this season a player has taken at least 19 shots from the field while making no more than two of them, with 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams going 2 for 20 last weekend. It's just the second time in the last 30 seasons that a player has taken at least 11 three-pointers without making one, per Basketball Reference.
Burke did manage to kick in five assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block in 39 minutes. He'll be looking for a rebound performance Saturday against the Timberwolves.
It was Burke's highest point total of the season. He has performed well against Minnesota in his two years in the league, averaging 18.4 points per game.
He also had six assists and four rebounds for Utah.
Burke was just 1 of 8 from the field in a two-point outing Friday but bounced back big on night later. He also managed to tally four assists and one block in 34 minutes Saturday. Burke will try and build on the excellent performance Monday against the Bulls.
Burke scored a team-high 23 points on 9 of 15 shooting, including 5 of 8 from 3-point land. He did all of his damage in 38 minutes of game action, also adding four assists and two rebounds. He is averaging 11.0 points, 4.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds over his last five games.
Burke dealt with back tightness over the weekend but managed to play his standard amount of minutes Tuesday, racking up eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in the win. He has averaged 12.6 points and 5.6 assists over 39 games played.
Burke complained about the back after hitting the game-sealing shot against Miami Saturday night. He's averaging 12.7 points and 5.5 assists per game on the year.
"Don't think it's serious, but it's something you keep your eye on," Burke said.
Burke, who has averaged 12.7 points and 5.5 assists over 38 games played, is questionable for Tuesday's game.
Burke was questionable to play Friday due to illness and ceded playing time to backup point guard Alex Burks, seeing 22 minutes or less of action for the first time since Dec. 11. Burke added six assists and three rebounds before fouling out. He has averaged 13.1 points and 5.7 assists over 34 games played.
Burke and Jefferson are both dealing with illness, Favors a hip, Lucas III a lower back and Williams a heel injury.
"I slid," Burke said after the game. "I think it was a little wet spot out there and it wasn't my ankle, it was kind of near my Achilles. It's fine. It's just a little sore. I don't know what I did. It doesn't seem serious at all so I'm going to get treatment on it, ice it and see how it feels tomorrow."
Burke has averaged 13.5 points and 5.4 assists over 27 games played.
Burke's 30 points were the most by a rookie in one game this season. He also added eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal while playing 40 minutes in the win. Burke has averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 16 games played.
It was Burke's second double-double of the year, including a 19-point, 10-rebound effort two games prior to Wednesday's win, in which he also had two rebounds and one steal. He's averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 12 games played.
"I understand the process," he told the Salt Lake Tribune. "Obviously you want to get into a rhythm and flow out there. For me, I don't want to get in there and be thinking, 'I'm about to come out.' So I try not to think about it as much as possible."
Burke played 20 minutes Sunday in his first start, totaling four points and four assists. He also admitted that he is still a bit concerned about the injury when he takes the court.
"Sometimes I try to baby it when I don't even need to really because it's taped," he said. "Sometimes when a hard pass comes at me, I kind of, like, catch it more with my left hand then my right. But I think thats mental."
Burke tallied one rebound, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in 12 minutes of play. He missed the first 12 games of the season due to a broken finger. The loss drops the Jazz to 1-12.
Burke has yet to play this season due to a broken finger but was able to practice in full Tuesday. The University of Michigan product was selected ninth overall in the 2013 NBA draft.
"He's actually feeling a lot better," Corbin said. "I'm encouraged by his progress thus far and how he said he's feeling."
Burke was cleared to increase activity last week, but that was supposed to be limited to dribbling and shooting, so his recovery appears to be moving faster than expected. He is expected to be re-evaluated Nov. 25.
All three have yet to play in the 2013-14 season.
Burke suffered the injury in the preseason, and the Jazz are still waiting for him to be cleared to practice. The team announced he will be reevaluated Nov. 25.
Rush and Williams did receive a bit of good news Monday, however, as they were able to practice without limitation for the first time all season Monday. They may be able to make their debuts at some point during the team's current four-game road trip, with runs through Saturday in Toronto.
Burke is now expected to be sidelined for 8-12 weeks due to the nature of the break. Utah begins the regular season on Oct. 30, and his current timetable has him returning to the team somewhere between Dec. 9 and Jan. 6. He could miss between 22 and 36 games.
"It's unfortunate," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "It's part of the business getting hurt and seeing how he responds."
Burke will likely be evaluated on Monday before the team makes its next move. The Jazz will open the season on Oct. 30 against Oklahoma City.
Burke shot just 3 of 10 from the field, with one 3-pointer, on his way to seven points. He added five assists and just two turnovers, bringing his total to eight assists to three turnovers in two games. Burke is shooting just 8 for 24 from the field, though he is 3 for 7 on three-point tries.
Burke has started both games so far, and is expected to remain the team's starter come the regular season.
"I'll say D+, because I feel like I did good in all my other areas, but I just shot poorly," he said, in an interview with NBA.com Monday. "Why? I don't know. I've never shot that poorly before. I think I lost a little bit of confidence after the first game, not shooting well and then trying to adjust to the new system, new players and stuff like that. Besides the shooting part, I think I did pretty well. But I still don't think it was any higher than a C."
Burke shot just 13 for 54 from the field and 1 for 19 on 3-pointers, a far cry from his 46.3 percent shooting mark en route to a National Player of the Year award as a sophomore at Michigan.
Despite his poor early showing, expectations are still high for Burke, the No. 9 overall pick in this year's draft. The 20-year-old was selected as the best playmaker in the class, in the league's annual preseason rookie survey. Burke is expected to step in the starting lineup as a starter at point guard for the Jazz, who lost a number of veterans in the offseason.

American Life in Poetry: Woman Feeding Chickens
Your high school English teacher made an effort to teach you and your bored classmates about sonnets, which have specific patterns of rhyme, and he or she used as an example a great poem by Keats or Shelley, about some heroic subject. To counter the memory of those long and probably tedious hours, I offer you this perfectly made sonnet by Roy Scheele, a Nebraska poet, about a more humble, common subject.

Jan 29, 2014 Bob Buskirk Motherboards, Reviews 1
When ASUS launched their Republic of Gamers Z87 motherboards there was one that was missing, the Maximus VI Formula. They had already launched the Maximus VI Extreme, Hero, GeneZ and Impact boards. After a little while ASUS went ahead and finally launched the Maximus VI Formula motherboard. So why is this motherboard so special? Two things that really stand out about it is that it features the same Thermal Armor that ASUS has used on its TUF series of motherboards and it is the first ASUS motherboard to use the CrossChill hybrid air and water-cooling technology to keep the VRM's nice and cool. Beyond that this is a Republic of Gamers board so you have Extreme Engine Digi+ III, SupremeFX Formula audio, Sonic Radar and a mPCIe Combo II with 802.11ac/Bluetooth 4.0. Does this board have it all? Read on as we find out!

Here we are back with another graphics card review. Today we are taking a look at ASUS's R9 270X DirectCU II Top Graphics Card. AMD's R9 270X cards are of course based off the same 28nm Pitcairn GPU that we saw in the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition graphics card. As the name of this card indicates it will feature's ASUS's own DirectCU II cooling solution, which should offer better thermals than AMD's stock cooler while also producing less noise. This is also a TOP edition card so it is factory overclocked with the core clock being bumped up from 1050 MHz to 1120 MHz. The 2 GB of onboard GDDR5 remains at the same 5600 MHz (effective) as the reference design. Is this the R9 270X that you are looking for? Read on to find out…

While there were not a lot of big motherboard announcements at CES this year ASUS was showing off their recently announced Z87-Deluxe/SATA Express motherboard. This motherboard is a modified version of the original Z87-Deluxe where ASUS has swapped out the typical SATA connectors for SATA Express.

TweakTown has let out a teaser of an approaching ASUS motherboard which offers the new SATA Express interface. Intel was apparently wanting to do a switch to SATA Express interface on their motherboards which are based upon the 9-Series chipset which will back up the Haswell Refresh as well as the Broadwell-K arrangement processors.
Dec 19, 2013 Ahmed Humayun All News, Hardware News 0
ASUS has recently made an announcement for its Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II series of graphic cards, and this series will incorporate a model that is going to stick to the AMD-reference clocks (which can go up to a 1000 MHz core, 5.00 GHz memory). Another model will also form part of this series and it is the one that offers factory overclocked speeds of up to 1050 MHz core, and 5.40 GHz memory and this one is the DirectCU II OC.
Dec 17, 2013 Ahmed Humayun All News, Hardware News 0
The approaching Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC graphics card by ASUS has been leaked way before its official launch in January 2014. These Asus Radeon R9 290x DirectCU II OC cards are going to be dispatched with factory overclocks and will contain a custom PCB design which will influence its performance over the reference boards and is also going to extend help in enhancing the cooling capacity of the graphics card.

New window has DRAFT - was it installed right???
So I had all the original single-paned windows in our house replaced with Simonton double pane energy efficient windows.
This morning, I noticed one of the vertical blinds was moving, I went to the window and on the bottom there's a small 1.5 inch long 1/16 inch gap. It looks like when the caulking dried, it shrunk a bit and hence the gap. I can caulk it back myself no problem, but was wondering if there was a problem with the installation. If they put the weather seal/foam inside while they're installing it, shouldn't it prevent any draft whatsoever, or is the caulking part of the "complete draft" removal process for anything that gets by the weather foam?
I would be a little concerned. Proper insulation should prevent any air leaks. I'm also concerned the caulk is already seperating. Call the company and ask them to come back out. I would also let them know you are concerned the insulation wasn't installed correctly.
You need to read your contract and make sure it specifies they will insulate. If you jumped at a lowball price, it's possible they did a very basic "caulk & walk" install. There is no building code standard on insulating that would allow you to demand they re-install the windows. They simply have to say they installed them to their normal standard.
Hopefully this is something easily remedied.
Good luck.
The foam should be a secondary seal, the caulk on the exterior should be the primary seal,preferrably with OSI quad 4 or something smilar in quality.The interior caulking should more of a cosmetic thing and air should not enter even if this seal fails. I would check the exterior caulking first,many here have used fiberglass before without problem. Did the Wrap the windows in aluminum coil?
I agree with toddinmn and the above posts.
Even if the window openings are of the type where there are weight pockets behind the jambs, proper installation should remove air flow from leaking through separated caulk. The air leak through the parted caulk bead is indicative of improper insulation.
I would hope that the window company will rectify this. What EcoStar said above is correct, there are no codes for this. However, for decades it has been considered customary to insulate around the window frame, and if the installers didn't do it, I can guarantee they were expected to by the company. Hopefully you went through an established company and not some guy on the side. If you don't get prompt results you should tell them your next call will be to the BBB and the attorney general. That usually gets some action.
oops, I refreshed the page this morning and it posted my yetserday's message again...sorry.
Thanks for all your input. Unfortunately, I can't check the outside caulk because it's on the master window on the 2nd floor, and I don't have a ladder going up that high and there's a trellis in the way too :( Regardless, as you all have said, there shoudln't be any leakage. I will contact them today.
I did use a reputable company that's an A+ on BBB, so hopefully i won't have any problems...
There are instances where the air leakage can be from inside the wall. This is more commonplace on dormer windows and other windows where there are multiple angles and framing junctions.
If this is the case, without removing the casing around the window, there may always be air leakage and it may feel more prevalent now as compared to your previous windows because of the change in pressures and infiltration rates.
Ex. Assume that your old window was very leaky and the new unit is very tight. What bit of air leakage you feel may be from inside the walls and feel more dramatic as a result of the reductions at the window.
This is just another option. In most cases, air leakage around the window is the result of an unsealed installation and should be fixed by the installation company.
I just wanted to point out that there are other options at the end of the day and air leakage can come from multiple sources.
Well they're supposed to come out next Tuesday and take a look at it.
My question is if they have to remove the window (it's a retrofit) and reinsulate it, is there potential to ruin the window frame and then they have to order a new one, or they might ruin some of the parts of the window opening that won't be covered up.
I'm wondering if it's worth it, or if I should just caulk the bottom and seal up the hole. If the hole is sealed, no wind or draft will get into the house right? Or are there any other adverse affects?
Removal of the capping or the interior trim is not a big deal and will not ruin the windows.
