Infidel2 5pts Poor GM.No matter how hard they try, they still can't get the Corvette right.The overall styling looks Transformer childlike, like something a pre-pubescent boy might doodle on his notebook in Biology class. And then you get to the rear end. It's gruesome. How something that awful ever made it into production tells us a lot about the decisions that lead to the production of the Chevy volt (possibly the biggest money pit in GM's long and shameful history of financial disasters.)One would think that colossal failure of the last generation Pontiac GTO would have taught GM an important and expensive lesson: Performance, while a necessity in certain models, is a commodity. In the end, it's the styling that drives desirability and long-term sales.Sure, this Corvette is, in terms of performance, the best ever--and by a country mile. But so what? The yardstick is the current competition, not the Corvette from the 1990s. Today, performance is everywhere. My four-door sedan will hit 60MPH in four seconds, give or take. No only is performance a commodity, but we've reached the point of diminishing returns. What difference do those measly tenths of a second make, other than on paper? In real world driving, they are meaningless. Zero to 60 in 3.8 or 4.2? Only the stopwatch knows the difference.Styling, on the other hand, is everything. See Tesla, for reference. To compete on the world stage against the likes of Porsche and Ferrari, the Corvette needed to be something far more than it is. People don't buy 911s and 458s because they are great performance values. They pay those ridiculous prices because those cars represent the very best of everything the buyer is looking for, money be damned.Had GM built a more desirable Corvette, they could have charged another $10,000 on the base model and not a soul would complain.
Joe Lyon 5pts Do you think the mysterious architecture could be extending the Volt architecture through to others? He made it very clear it was something no one else is doing and that would fit. They do need a way to help spread the engineering cost of that technology over a wider platform.
Johnny.5sp 5pts Although I enjoyed the interview, I think Mr. Reuss should run for elected office. I haven't heard anybody so skillfully evade giving a direct answer to a question since the late Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois.
Zeamays 5pts Great interview and its encouraging to have confirmed that Cadillac will have the full line of luxury vehicles in its future. However long that takes.Annoying music. Why? Adds nothing, only subtracts.
hairballhead 5pts they ask about a ats will a v8 fit in the alpha platform..... the next gen Camaro is using this platform dosent mean a v8 for the ats but I hope it does I wish they throw away the ttv6 and put the lt1 in it no reason to use the ttv6 when they have the lt1 except everyone else is turbo charging and gm are just followers of the trends
LetsRace 5pts I agree with the comment that Motortrend needs to bring Lincoln people to the table. I would watch an hour of you guys asking them what the crap happened to Lincoln and what are they thinking(if anything) of doing.
Mchicha 5pts I am curious, Exactly where did Fryburger (Freiberger) find a business shirt to wear? Did he take one from Angus McKenzie and that is why McKenzie could not make it?
Mchicha 5pts I wish they would have brought up the upcoming Escalade. BUT, its good to hear that Cadillac is going full steam ahead and taking on the market it belongs in.Now Buick and GMC totally ignored in favor of Camaro.
Abisai Romero 5pts Do one with lincoln people... We will love to hear from them as an answer to caddy n the 3 Germans...so many questions and so little information to dig into.you guys are awesome
BTRDAYZ 5pts Great interview! Questions?GM still owns the Pontiac branding. Will we ever see another Pontiac? Perhaps a limited edition "Heritage Pontiac" like a Trans Am?Will GM do another affordable roadster to replace the Solstice? What about a Cadillac roadster, ala SLK?GMC Granite. What happened?Will we ever see another GMC Syclone?How does GM address the blistering straightline performance of the Nissan GTR, as demonstrated in the MT World's Greatest Drag Race 3?
LetsRace 5pts I still want a DCT at least in a new Z06 and ZR1.I really liked the interview I had to watch it this morning because it was to long for another time in the day. And yes Mark Reuss is a true car guy!
Shiddy 5pts @Zeamays The music is their so you don't hear the PR guys saying "evade that, don't answer that" in every pause between the question and the response.
Fingerlling 5pts @Yoma I agree with you. I do think that Ford could do much better with Lincoln then they are. The thing about GM is the platforms have been starting off as the higher end Cadillac's and then being modified for the other brands. Like the XTS - Impala. Where it seems Ford develops it first on the "cheaper brand" Ford then trying to upgrade it to the luxury brand. Like the Taurus to the MKZ. If they do it the other way around then it will help Lincoln which will trickle down to helping Fords cars. They know what they are doing with the Trucks but the cars are a bit behind.
dhan219 5pts @LetsRace That's a good question. Lincoln doesn't have anything in the pipe line right now. The next MKS is going to be a Ford Taurus clone in 2016. They are focus on the Fusion to over take the Camry.
jbernard 5pts @Fingerlling No rear wheel drive offering, or at least no offering that mimics the proportions of a rear wheel drive auto. There's something to be said about the proportions of a rear wheel drive car, not to sound haughty and this is completely my opinion but I do believe that rear wheel drive proportions elicit an impression of higher...quality? Not sure how to phrase it, but well, look at cars like the mazda 6 that mimic rear wheel drive proportions and are hailed for looking more upscale than their segment, or audi, who walks the line on vehicle proportion and has managed to become a front runner in the luxury segment when they aped front engine rear wheel drive proportions with the b5 a4 and subsequent models. The MKZ, with its Fusion-like proportions just doesn't have the same presence as say...the new CTS. Personally even the XTS suffers from the egg-like proportions of a front wheel drive platform.

This is actually reminding me of an adorned Indian elephant – and come to think of it there seems to be that influence in much of your work. Very nice Karin.
Thank you so much Mui-Ling, yes, I do seem somewhat influenced by India and the bright colours, etc. At one point I almost joined up with the Hare Krishna mob when I was much younger and bit dippier, as was always searching for something deeper spiritually, I guess I love symbolism and spirituality mixed together and I have a special reverence for the elephant and somehow India influences me.. When younger, I think most of my clothes were bought from markets, and were batik as well as any bags I had, had an islander or indian influence, so it is the islands and india do influence me in the aspect of design as well as heart. Very observant of you Mui-Ling :)

Herbal Safety Guidelines Before using an herb you are unfamiliar with, find out its medicinal properties. Research it thoroughly and/or consult with an appropriately qualified practitioner or expert. If you are taking prescription drugs, or have a medical condition check with an appropriately qualified practitioner before using herbs medicinally. Herbs have shown overwhelming evidence that they work. Just because a small amount works well does NOT mean that more is better. As individuals we all have different constitutions, sensitivities, allergic reactions and possible health conditions. The following are merely guidelines. They include herbs offered on our websites. This list does not help with administering information on possible interactions and contraindications with prescription medicine. This needs to be discussed with your physician.
Should I check with my doctor or healthcare provider before using a supplement? Should I check with my doctor or healthcare provider before using a supplement? This is a good idea, especially for certain population groups. Dietary supplements may not be risk-free under certain circumstances. If you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or have a chronic medical condition, such as, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease, be sure to consult your doctor or pharmacist before purchasing or taking any supplement. While vitamin and mineral supplements are widely used and generally considered safe, you may wish to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking these or any other dietary supplements. If you plan to use a dietary supplement in place of drugs or in combination with any drug, tell your health care provider first. Many supplements contain active ingredients that have strong biological effects and their safety is not always assured in all users. If you have certain health conditions and take these products, you may be placing yourself at risk.
Some supplements may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Taking a combination of supplements or using these products together with medications (whether prescription or OTC drugs) could under certain circumstances produce adverse effects. Be alert to advisories about these products, whether taken alone or in combination. For example: Coumadin (a prescription medicine), ginkgo biloba (an herbal supplement), aspirin (an OTC drug) and vitamin E (a vitamin supplement) can each thin the blood, and taking any of these products together can increase the potential for internal bleeding.
Some supplements can have unwanted effects during surgery. It is important to fully inform your doctor about the vitamins, minerals, herbals or any other supplements you are taking, especially before elective surgery. You may be asked to stop taking these products at least 2-3 weeks ahead of the procedure to avoid potentially dangerous supplement/drug interactions -- such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure and increased bleeding - that could adversely affect the outcome of your surgery.
Notification of Changes If we decide to change our Policy, we will post these changes on our Homepage or provide other notification of our revised Policy so our users and members are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and when we disclose it.

Mayor Mike Dever and other city leaders are scheduled to meet with Kansas University leaders today to discuss the feasibility of operating a merged public transit system.
Dever and other commissioners have said that figuring out a way to merge the city's public transit system with KU's student transit system may be the key to maintaining public transit service in the community.
Commissioners are trying to figure out how to deal with a projected $1 million shortfall in funding for the T system. Dever said at the commission's Tuesday evening meeting that he wants to explore whether combining the two systems would create enough efficiencies to reduce the projected financial shortfall.

No. 13 Minnesota 75, Lafayette 50
After feasting on lesser competition this month, No. 13 Minnesota feels it is ready for the Big Ten season.
Joe Coleman scored 12 points, and No. 13 Minnesota got 42 points from its reserves in a 75-50 rout of Lafayette on Saturday night.
Otto Osenieks added 10 points for the Gophers (12-1), who have won eight straight.
''We're definitely ready,'' said Rodney Williams, Minnesota's second-leading scorer. ''We've been waiting since summer workouts to get the Big Ten season started.''
Dan Trist scored 14 points for the Leopards (5-9), who are 0-7 on the road.
Minnesota led by 15 at halftime before stretching its lead soon after the break. Rodney Williams scored six points, and Coleman added four, including a steal and dunk, as the Gophers went ahead by 20 and cruised the rest of the way.
''Just to see everybody play the way they did is encouraging,'' Williams said.
Osenieks scored while being knocked to the floor and made the ensuing free throw to cap a 16-4 run that put Minnesota up 67-37 with 7:31 to play. Wally Ellenson scored on a reverse dunk two minutes later.
It was the final nonconference game for the Gophers, whose only loss was to top-ranked Duke on Nov. 22. Minnesota will begin Big Ten play at home on Dec. 31 against No. 20 Michigan State.
Based on rankings, Michigan - like Minnesota - is supposed to be a middle-of-the-pack team in the Big Ten. Michigan, Indiana, Ohio State and Illinois are all ranked in the top 10.
However, with arguably the best team in Tubby Smith's six seasons as coach, the deep and athletic Gophers are showing they could be better than pollsters believe.
In addition to Lafayette, the Gophers have beaten North Florida, South Dakota State, Southern Cal - losers in seven of eight - and North Dakota State in December by at least 13 points, while averaging a 20.8-point differential in the five contests.
''In past years there were times we'd play with teams we should be putting away and instead we'd win by nine, 10 points,'' Williams said. ''This is definitely good to see.''
The Gophers forced 19 turnovers, including 12 in the first half, mostly by keeping Lafayette to the outside and jumping into passing lanes.
Minnesota has four players averaging double figures in points. Mbakwe, who got his first start of the season, is averaging 9.2 points. The sixth-year senior had been coming off the bench as he works his way back from surgery for a torn knee ligament that ended his 2011-12 campaign in the seventh game.
''The Big Ten is a grind it out type of league. As long as we control the boards we'll put ourselves in a good position,'' Mbakwe said.
Playing its first game in 11 days because of final exams, Minnesota showed early rust, but Maverick Ahanmisi and Osenieks made 3-pointers to key a 14-3 run and put the Gophers up 18-9 midway through the first half.
The starters then went on a 10-2 run, and finished the half on a 9-2 spurt, including two dunks by Coleman for a 37-22 halftime lead.
When the long-range shots didn't fall, the Gophers rebounded and scored. Minnesota finished with a 46-25 rebounding edge, and outscored the Leopards 25-2 in second-chance points, and 40-16 in the paint.
With Temple upsetting third-ranked Syracuse earlier in the day, Lafayette felt there was a chance for lighting to strike again.
''I was hoping,'' said O'Hanlon, who's close friends with Temple coach Fran Dunphy. ''We're not as good as Temple right now; I think Minnesota is every bit as good as Syracuse.''

IPFW's season has really been like a rollercoaster, just without so many ups and with downs that would plummet a ride at Six Flags into the core of the earth.
They had a chance to change that Sunday night (November 19) when they hosted Indiana State, themselves just coming off a stiff loss at the hands of IU. But instead, they couldn't keep up the momentum of a monumental comeback and let their weaknesses leak out in a 67-61 loss.
IPFW had a hold of things early, going up 13-8 with a lot of momentum on a Tyler Best to Quintin Carothers back door play that led to a bigtime dunk. They pulled ahead again (and for the last time) on a DeWitt Scott three-pointer midway through the first half. And then they saw setback after setback kill most of their hopes before the halftime buzzer even sounded.

I'm playing hooky on Monday to ride the Acorn trail in Wrightwood. A while back, a few people expressed interest in riding this trail so here's your chance! I plan to leave home around 9:00 a.m. and start riding about 10. I could meet people at the Palmdale park and ride or in Wrightwood. The route is up hwy 2, up Blue Ridge trail and road over to Acorn. Lots of options available on a weekday too. PM me or post. I'll be in Phoenix until Sunday so I'll reply then.

Reality is far more complicated than most reporters or politicians care to contemplate. For example, several studies have shown that when immigration laws are enforced more strictly, black employment rises. The simple fact is that many Latino immigrants undercut black wages in lower skilled jobs. On the other hand, government quotas for minority-owned contracting have been shown to discriminate against Latino-owned businesses in favor of black-owned businesses. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recently filed a complaint in Milwaukee alleging that they were being punished for their industry and success. This doesn't even begin to explore the competition for college admissions spots made more complex by racial quotas.
As a pastor, I am proud to have blacks and Latinos worshipping side by side in the churches that are part of my new network of churches (International Communion of Evangelical Churches). I have learned on the job that you cannot lump Puerto Ricans in with Mexicans or Guatemalans any more than you can lump Nigerians in with Kenyans, or blacks from the Bronx in with blacks from South Carolina. Race relations are complicated, far more complicated than the "whites oppressing blacks and others" narrative allows us to appreciate. There is no cheap policy fix for racial ignorance and hatred, and I've learned that the only way trust can be built between people of different backgrounds is through meaningful dialogue and relationships.
Although race relations in the United States have a long way to go, Juan Williams rightly pointed out in the Wall Street Journal that young black murder victims are far more likely to be killed by other blacks than by members of other races. He correctly calls the entertainment industry to task for perpetuating the stereotype of young black males as violent gangsters. All of us can recognize that it is difficult for black crime victims to find justice, whoever their assailants, and still know that there is much work the black community needs to do on itself.
There are no easy answers in the Trayvon Martin case: this was not Emmett Till, Part II. The black community has a different set of challenges to face today than we did in the days of lynching, and we will only make progress if we can face them honestly.

The food is okay. It's not great, but it suffices. I must say, though, the pizza is pretty good.
Read MoreMeal costs are also outrageous. The food's good but not worth what it costs. You're required to have a meal plan with at least 10 meals per week. Honestly, it's probably a lot cheaper to stick with that plan and make the rest of your meals yourself.
Read MoreFood is pretty good and the cafeteria is always clean and it is really nice. It also have an awesome salad bar!
Read MoreCafeteria food is actually not bad. Like every cafeteria there are specific foods that people stay away from, but most of their meals are generally nutritious and yummy. They also have many options. No time to eat in the cafeteria? Not an issue at Cornerstone! You can stop at Grab-n-Go to get a bag lunch and a drink.
Read MoreThis is the only thing I find wrong with Cornerstone, they do not have enough tables in their dining hall to accommodate all of the students. There is also not enough room in that small of an area for 2,000 people. The food, however is very good with A full time pizza kitchen, deli, salad bar, desert bar, and two different main courses.
Read MoreGood food.
Read MoreI'd say about 15% of the food is great, 70% is good, and 15% is not very good.
Read MoreWe have some great food.
Read MoreHonestly, the food could be a little better. We have tons of choices though! For breakfast we have an omelet bar so you can make your own, cold breakfast (like yogurt, fruit, cereal), oatmeal and bagels, and also a hot breakfast bar (scrambled eggs, breakfast meat, pancakes, etc). For lunch and dinner we always have a great pizza bar with four or five different kinds, a cooks choice, then usually a choice of chicken. We also have a build your own sandwich bar with a speciality sandwich choice, and a salad bar. Overall, I think we just need a little less grilled chicken options and more steak!
Read MoreThe food at Cornerstone is very good in comparison to meals I have had at other colleges. After a while you might get a little tired of it, but that's going to happen at any college. Also, don't be fooled by the amazing food on visit days. Our food is good, but it's not usually that good.

Clean Energy & Sustainability E-briefing: UK DECC launch consultation on sustainability and affordability of biomass generators under the Renewables Obligation "RO"
- Energy and Natural Resources
In line with DECC's response to the consultation on banding levels in July, DECC has launched on 7 September 2012 its consultation on sustainability and caps for biomass feedstock generators.
Key points of the consultation
Sustainability criteria
DECC propose that:
- Biomass and biogas facilities of 1MWe should be required to meet the sustainability criteria as a prerequisite to receiving support under the RO from October 2013.
- Sustainable forestry management criteria, being:
- for solid-wood fuel the UK Government's public procurement policy for wood
- for perennial energy crops the Energy Crop Scheme or equivalent and
- for solid biomass or biogas, the RED land criteria.
- The following GHG lifecycle criteria:
- new dedicated biomass (accredited after April 2013) at 240kg CO2eq per MWh between 2013 and 2020 (reducing to 200kg CO2eq per MWh between 2020 and 2025)
- existing dedicated biomass (accredited before April 2013) at 285.12kg CO2eq between 2013 and 2020 (reducing to 200kg CO2eq per MWh between 2020 and 2025)
- coal plant converting to or co-firing with biomass at 285.12kg CO2eq per MWh (reducing to 240kg per MWh between 2020 and 2025)
- The 2020 to 2025 figures are very much preliminary.
- Reporting and auditing requirements are improved and clarified for all facilities over 50kW (except for waste and bioliquids) covering form of biomass, volume, origin, format.
- There be limited grandfathering in respect of such sustainability criteria, namely, they will remain fixed until 2020, subject to any changes in EU or international requirements.
- In addition, a sustainability audit report from an independent verifier, will be required for all stations of 1MW above.
The intention is that the above (except for profiling criteria) do not apply to biomass wholly derived from waste, landfill or sewage gas, manure or animal slurry. Profiling criteria shall not apply to msw, landfill and sewage gas.
Caps and bands
DECC propose:
- A cap on the percentage of ROCs that each supplier can access for new dedicated biomass power (excluding bioliquids and CHP) accredited after 1 April 2013. DECC is proposing that the caps are set at the following levels:
Obligation Period |
Maximum % of suppliers obligation using new dedicated biomass ROCs |
2013/14 |
19% |
2014/15 |
17% |
2015/16 |
14% |
2016/17 |
12% |
- Reducing support for standard co-firing (i.e. combustion of less than 50% biomass) to 0.3 ROCs/MWh for 2013/14 and 2014/15.
- Co-firing of regular bioliquids will also see support fall in line with the proposed reduction for standard co-firing i.e. reducing to 0.3 ROCs/MWh for 2013/14 and 2014/15 and increasing to 0.5 ROCS/MWh from 2015/16.
- Reducing the support for co-firing with CHP to 0.8 ROCs/MWh for 2013/14 and 2014/15 or 0.3 ROCs/MWh plus the RHI. The standard co-firing with CHP band is intended to be closed to new entrants from 2015.
- Removing the energy crop uplift, of 0.5 ROCs, for standard co-firing to ensure affordability. DECC propose that the current up-lift should end on April 2013 except for generators who, before 7 September 2012, have contracts in place for the supply of energy crops for co-firing - these generators can continue to claim the 0.5 ROC uplift until 31 March 2019.
The closing date for responses for:
Sustainability is 30 November 2012.
Caps and bands is 19 October 2012.

^ It seems to be a very elegant dress. I like the shoes a lot, but not the jacket. The huge cross pendant should belong to a missionary bishop, IMO. :smile:
The whole look is quite nice but it looks quite old on Marie. The colors don't work for her.
Looks like Marie has been borrowing jewellery from Sophie Wessex...reminds me of that horrible thing Edward designed for his wife and then asked her to wear at their wedding...then again, Marie could have picked it up at a flea market ;)
Somehow she seems to like the greige colours :(
These Greige colours psudo taupe colours are very popular right now and I think they are a very sophisticated choice.For the Autumn they are very well suited .The cross may be too large but lets remember she is finding her way and mistakes happen.I shudder to think what I would do if I was in her place stylist or no stylist.

Marie has been improving of late and some of her outfits I have liked. Don't care for the jacket with the last outfit and that cross necklace has to go!:tongue:
This is only picture of Maries dress from last night I can find.
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/958/38609042.png Looks rather boring. |
We can't see the dress well, but the silk shawl makes it very glamorous. Marie looks very pretty. Looking forward to more photos! :flowers:
I love the above look. Modern, comfortable and so stylish. The printed top is my favourite piece this time!
It's a very stylish and pretty look. I love the combimation of white pants and the brownish printed top. The brown jacket matches great as well.

Re: iPad screen protector recommendation
I bought a 2pack of Belkins at Target last night for the iPad4 we got my MIL but I have not installed as my husband asked me to do that in front of her (uh, why?!). I was also debating ordering Power Support Crystal, which I like for my phone.

Yea that's what I use on my phone. I wish I had just ordered them and had them shipped to my MIL's house in advance. Because then I wouldn't have been stuck with only Zagg's as my backup.

iPad screen protector recommendation
I really like Power Support, however, they have been taking way too long to get their protectors out. Which is why I went with Zagg HD for my iPad Mini.

Have you ever wanted to write professionally? Perhaps you'd like to make some extra money writing articles for publication in your industry or taking on additional assignments to write for your company.
In this course, author Tom Geller explores the process of writing articles and publications for businesses large and small. The course begins with a look at the preparation you'll need to do, best ways to find assignments, and smart strategies for determining your article approach. Next, the course dives into techniques you can use to brainstorm angles, research, interview experts, finish a piece, and build your portfolio.
There are several ways to find assignments, but they boil down to two very different methods: personal connections and direct pitches. The first method is where you talk to people you already know and find out if you can write an article for them. That's how I got my first freelance article writing jobs way back in 1995. I had a job writing short product summaries for the online department of a publishing company. When that job ended I just walked across the hall to the magazine department and pitched my full-length articles to the editors I had already gotten to know there.
In my case I was already working at a publisher, so my path was pretty obvious, but again, a lot of the market for article writing is in companies and organizations. The best situation is when your colleagues already have a need for articles; you just need to let them know that you're ready to do the job. Now, if you know any editors or publishers, certainly you should tell them that you're available as well. Even if they don't have work for you right away, it's a small community and their good word could lead to work with one of their colleagues.
On that note, don't be shy about putting the word out to your entire network of contacts. If you're writing as a freelancer, I suggest you take a look at my course Freelancing Fundamentals for a little bit more on this topic. But let's say you've exhausted those venues or are trying to write in an area where you don't have any contacts yet. That means you're going to have to pitch the publications out of the blue, what sales people call cold calling. If there's a specific publication you want to write for, you first have to understand its needs.
For that there's no substitute for looking at the publication itself. I talk more about how to do that in the video "Taking on an assignment." If you don't have a specific publication in mind, check out Writer's Market. You'll have to pay to access it, but that could save you a lot of time. If you don't want to pay, there's a good chance your local library has the print version. Now, some publications will actually tell you how they want you to send them your proposals. Just search their websites for the phrase "writers' guidelines" or "submission guidelines." There are also some databases of writers guidelines online, for example the ones at writerswrite.com and freelancewriting.com.
Once you've identified the publication, you'll need to find the right person to pitch. If it's not in any of the sources I just mentioned, check the publication's masthead--that is its list of writers and editors. mastheads.org reposts that information for some of the biggest publications. Then you have to write a really great query letter. Now, that's a big subject in itself, but it breaks down to just three points: first write a meaningful subject line; second get to the point in the first sentence, because editors are busy people; third, say what the article is and why it fits their publication--the more specific you can be the better.
I've written a sample pitch for the example article we are using throughout this course. You'll find it in the exercise files. So, there are other two very different ways of getting assignments. When you talk to your colleagues you'll start out vague and then feel out where there's a match between your writing and their needs. But when you pitch a publication directly you should be very specific. As you get better known, these two worlds will ideally grow together. The hope is that colleagues will get to know your specific strengths and publications will start to pitch you with their ideas.
There are currently no FAQs about Writing Articles.

Elected in 1997
"For contributions to the understanding of
electromagnetic and acoustic propagation in random media,
leading to the development of new sensing techniques."
S TEVEN F. CLIFFORD, Research Scientist Emeritus,
University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in
Environmental Sciences (CIRES), died on September 18, 2007,
at the age of 64. He was the former director of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Environmental Technology Laboratory (ETL) and a distinguished
scientist in the field of electromagnetic and acoustic wave
propagation in random media. He was elected to the NAE in
Steve was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 4, 1943.
He graduated from Boston College High School, and in 1965
he received a B.S. in electrical engineering from Northeastern
University. He received his Ph.D. in engineering science
(theoretical physics) from Dartmouth College in 1969. His
dissertation, "Wave Propagation in a Turbulent Medium,"
written under the supervision of Professor John Strohbehm,
marked his entrance into the field in which he would earn his
scientific credentials and an international reputation.
Steve began his career in 1969 as a National Science
Foundation postdoctoral research associate with the Wave
Propagation Laboratory (WPL) of the Environmental Science
Services Administration, the precursor of NOAA. For more than
three decades he published widely on topics related to the
physics of wave propagation and scattering in random media
and the remote sensing of the atmosphere and oceans. Five of

his publications received NOAA's Outstanding Paper
His publications on theoretical subjects and their applications
to ground-based remote-sensing techniques and instrumentation
numbered more than 130 and appeared in optical, acoustic, and
radio journals. They include work on optical scintillation that
led to laser wind-measurement devices and laser weather
identifiers; the development of the theoretical limitations for
Radio Acoustic Sounding Systems (RASS) that led to the
implementation of RASS on radar wind profilers; studies of
acoustic propagation in the ocean and acoustic scintillation that
led to ocean current measurement instrumentation; and work
in atmospheric acoustics that contributed to the understanding
and interpretation of acoustic echo sounder records. His three
patents relate to applications of propagation in turbulent media
to acoustic and optical remote sensors.
From 1969 to 1982, he was a physicist with WPL, and from
1982 to 1986, he was chief of the Propagation Studies Program
Area in WPL. In 1986, he succeeded C. Gordon Little, founding
director of WPL; he was director of ETL (formerly WPL) until
his retirement from NOAA in 2001. He was appointed Research
Scientist Emeritus at CIRES in 2001.
The breadth and depth of Steve's scientific achievements
earned him many honors and awards. He was elected a fellow
of the Optical Society of America at age 31, a fellow of the
Acoustical Society of America at age 40, and an NAE member
at age 54. He was also a Senior Member of IEEE and a member
of the American Physical Society, American Meteorological
Society, and American Geophysical Union.
Steve was a 1986 graduate of the Program for Senior
Managers in Government at the Harvard University John F.
Kennedy School of Government. In 1998, he received the
Meritorious Presidential Rank Award for exceptional long-term
service as a senior executive. In January 2000, he was appointed
to the National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences
(NRC/NAS) Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate
(BASC), and he was chair of the NRC/NAS workshop on
Weather Forecasting Accuracy for Federal Aviation
Administration Traffic Flow Management, a member of the
Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 42 3/23/10 3:42:07 PM
OCR for page 40
NRC/NAS Panel on Tools for Tracking Chemical/Biological/
Nuclear Releases in the Atmosphere, and a member of the NRC/
NAS Committee on Future Directions in Weather Modification
In 1989, he led the first American delegation to visit the closed
city of Tomsk, Siberia, and he organized exchange agreements
with the Institute of Atmospheric Optics in Tomsk, the Main
Geophysical Observatory in Leningrad, and the Institute for
Atmospheric Physics in Moscow. He was particularly gratified
when, through his efforts, a team of scientists headed by
Academician Valeryan Tatarskii relocated to Boulder, Colorado,
to collaborate with ETL scientists on fundamental studies of
propagation and scattering phenomena.
Sports were always an integral part of Steve's life. As a
younger man, he excelled at baseball and enjoyed basketball
and skiing. As many colleagues can attest, he remained a
formidable opponent at the dart board. As years passed and he
no longer actively participated in team sports, he continued to
be an enthusiastic fan of his favorite teams. He was also an avid
world traveler and crossword puzzler.
Steve Clifford had a profound influence upon, and was
integral to the success of many family members, friends, and
colleagues. A brilliant mentor in all areas of life and a perfect
companion to his wife Terri, he will be missed immensely. His
brilliant mind, sense of humor, work ethic, gentle and
unassuming manner, and kindness will live on in the memories
of everyone who knew him. He will be remembered by all as
a significant and wonderful person in their lives.
Steven is survived by his wife, Theresa Kavanagh (Terri),
children, Cheryl Clifford Rapoza (Jim), of Weymouth,
Massachusetts; David Clifford (Elisabeth), of Los Angeles,
California; Michelle Clifford, (Bill Held), of Boulder, Colorado;
grandchildren, Zachary, 4, and Alyssa, 2; and stepchildren,
Alison Collins of Boulder and Kristopher Collins of Denver.
Steven will also be remembered by his brother, Robert Clifford
and his wife Betsy of Hingham, Massachusetts; his 92 year old
father, J. Nelson Clifford, who resides in San Diego, California;
and his former wife, Jane Parks, of Thornton, Colorado. He was
preceded in death by his mother, M. Dorothy Clifford,
in 1998.

Tesla Sues Top Gear for Libel
Written by Users Idea
Thursday, 07 April 2011
Apparently, Tesla is hauling Top Gear to court for an apparent libel suit. According to Tesla, the company found that Top Gear's 2008 episode which reviews the Tesla Roadster to be somewhat discriminatory, whereby Jeremy Clarkson was seen flogging around the track while testing the Tesla Roaster, and complaining the range of the Tesla which is equivalent to a measly 55 miles. And at the end of the review, he was seen pushing the car into the garage, supposedly showing that the car ran out of charge.
Tesla countered by saying that the limited range of the Tesla Roadster to be preposterous, and that the entire out-of-charge ordeal was staged by Top Gear, as clearly, the car that was provided was ready and willing. Surely, Tesla is suing Top Gear and BBC for libel and malicious falsehood, and it took them 2 years to pursue the lawsuit. Personally, I've seen many top gear episodes, and I do think that the three middle-aged men are sometimes full of crap when reviewing cars.

- Burning Light – A beam of Holy energy erupts from an ornate decoration on the wall, creating a 4 yard radius area of Burning Light on Anhuur's platform for 10 sec. The Burning Light inflicts 3022 to 3178 Holy damage every second to players standing within the area.
- Divine Reckoning – Temple Guardian Anhuur places a Divine Reckoning on a random player. After 8 seconds, the target and all other players within 7 yards of the target take 14250 to 15750 Holy damage and heal Temple Guardian Anhuur for five times the amount of damage dealt.
- Shield of Light – When Temple Guardian Anhuur reaches 66% and 33% of his remaining health, he channels energy from two nearby beacons and erects a Shield of Light that makes him immune to damage and spell school interrupts. The energy powering the shield can be disrupted by activating the two Beacons of Light in the pit below Anhuur's platform.
In Heroic Difficulty, activating a Beacon of Light requires 10 seconds to complete.
- Reverberating Hymn – After Anhuur casts Shield of Light, he then immediately channels a Reverberating Hymn. The song inflicts 90 Holy damage to all players every 4 seconds.This effect stacks every 4 seconds as Anhuur continues to channel the song.
- Pit Viper – These snakes inhabit the pit below Anhuur's platform.
- Poison-tipped Fangs – Poison from the viper's fangs inflicts 832 to 968 Nature damage every 3 seconds for 15 sec.

Accessories for UNI-EPDSB-AUD
Call 800-368-9700 for pricing Color: Black
The UNI-EPDSB-AUD combines the universal PDS-PLUS mount with a universal short-throw projector wall mount and powerful stereo audio system. The UNI-EPDSB extends up to 67 in. from the wall when used with the included arm extension. It does not require a stud located in the center of the whiteboard or screen and is easy to mount to dual studs at 16, 18 or 24 in. spacing. The included Compact Power Amplifier, CPA-50, powers the speakers and supports multiple stereo inputs for connecting to a projector, microphone and other sound sources.
Weight Capacity per Mount | 50 lb.| 22.7 kg |
Number of Mounts | 0 |
Depth | 34.00 - 67.00 in.| 864 - 1702 mm |
Mounting Reach | 16.43 in.| 417 mm |
Pitch | +16.50° / -16.50° |
Roll | +7.50° / -7.50° |
Yaw | +41.00° / -41.00° |
Bid Specification Document 0.01 MB pdf | |
High Resoluton Image 0.14 MB jpg |
How does the PDS-PLUS 12 points of contact help?
More contact points means more surface area, which equal more friction applied across the mount. This translates to a rigid mount that will not creep or sag after installation.
How is the sound quality?
We tested dozens of speakers to find just the right ones with great sound. We tuned the ports and power levels to optimize them for a standard 32 foot x 32 foot classroom without mic feedback or distortion up close.
What if I just want to purchase the audio portion, but not the short-throw mount?
To purchase just the audio portion, order the UNI-GB-AUD. There is also the option to purchase just the short-throw mount and then upgrade to audio at a later date.
The UNI-EPDSB-AUD has been tested with the following OEM products.

AMD A10-5800K /Gigbayte GA-A85X-UP4 Platform
Introduction: Given the large number of Trinity reviews already on the web, rather than bombard everyone with CPU and game benchmarks, I decided to put some effort into exploring the capabilities of AMD's latest FM2 Platform. In particular extracting the most performance / Watt out of it, to take advantage of what I consider an advantage of the 'fusion' concept that's now well and truly a part of both the CPU Makers products. By Eliminating discrete components, one can save money, and thermal/power requirements So Thanks to AMD I have the opportunity to test the following Parts A10-5800K Sitting in.... Gigabyte GA-F2A-A85X-UP4 ATX, FM2 Motherboard ----- Platform first impressions. This review is mainly about the APU, but given the lets take a look at this motherboard in some detail.. Really I think t's worthy of its own review! It's been a little while since I've gotten my hands on a higher-end gigabyte board, and let me just say from the outset, if looks could kill, I wouldn't be here to write this by now. The above pic doesn't really do it justice, but its simplistic in design, yet fully populated, finished off in a nice Matte black solder mask.. The sight of it was enough to make want to start building a rig around it. Anyway, apart from looks it also packs a fairly decent 6+2 phase Driver-mosfet VRM, using International Rectifier IC's, as do all their P series boards AFAIK. Another standout feature of all the P series AFAIK are the on-board power, reset , RTC-reset buttons which are par the course for enthusiast boards these days, but nice to find at this price point. It's a lot a board for sub- $150 , and would have to be one of the cheapest of the "P" series. This board uses the latest A85X Chipset, which launched alongisde Trinity, and as the Table below show's gives one extra SATA 6GB/s Ports and supports a new RAID mode. With PCI-e functionality locked inside the APU, you're left with the standard 1 x 16 , or 2 x 8 Crossfire. Test Setup: CPU: AMD A10-5800K Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 RAM: Patriot IEM 2133 Power Supply: Vantec 440W (OC) 12V Regulated Supply + PICO PSU 120W (underclocking/ consumption tests) Stock (Out of box) Performance: I'm keeping the number of benchmarks to a minimum, as we don't need a huge set of data to look at the effects of Overclocking (or underclocking) on performance.. To get performance baseline we have a couple of the usual suspects. Cinebench 11.5, and the old faithful CPUmark99.. useful for comparing single threaded, and also reflects memory subsystem performance. CPU: Whilst AMD doesn't have the best rep at the moment regarding high end CPU performance, in this class there's enough performance on tap to compete no problem with the main price competitor - Intel's Core i3 GPU (IGP) Settings: APU : Stock Frequency Memory: DDR3 @ 1866 10-10-10-20 [SEE RESULTS FURTHER DOWN REVIEW] I've selected only a few Games (Along with 3DM11) . 2 of which have built in benchmarks to give consistent / reliable results. Battlefield 3 is the Game I'm focusing on for performance impressions, as it still a benchmark title IMO. and quite demanding. utilizing the majority of a 4 core processor. and is also quite mean to GPU's. as the results further down the page show, all but Battlefield 3 are playable in performance. Certainly not butter smooth with those FPS, but BF3, is what I'd consider borderline playable at 1080P. There are times when FPS remain in the playable 30FPS region,.but any complexity on screen and it will dip down to the dreaded 25FPS region, which most of us would agree becomes pretty 'unplayable' . The casual gamer, and / or someone with no idea what FPS even means would play all day long though. As enthusiasts though, it's not really enough. One thing is a standout though, and was also for Llano. There is absolutely no noticeable system lagging , or inconsistent FPS 'drop's associated with the shared RAM systems of the past. Game menu's, alt tabbing, all without lag, or sluggishness whatsoever. ---- Over Clocking 1. The "No brainer" OC What is a No brainer Overclock? Well I consider it something you can achieve out of the box, without touching voltages, and without too much fiddling. CPU: Lets start with the CPU. To be honest. Without increasing cooling capacity, and/or fiddling with voltage there isn't much to be gained from a CPU OC. Unfortunately I had to disable Turbo functionality to get it to play nice. and the end result was 4.3Ghz. Given the stock turbo mode often pushes to 3.9-4Ghz anyway even under full load.. this only yields less than 10% performance improvement. GPU: The GPU though is a different story. I ended up just setting the GPU at 1000Mhz, not really expecting stability,but found it was completely stable. With a bit of extra pushing and testing I found 1050Mhz to be completely stable and settled on that. I didn't run into any obvious stability issues until 1070Mhz. RAM: Trinity Officially supports DDR3 1866, like it's predecessor. I had hopped this would make a bump to the DDR3-2133 ratio painless on the IEM RAM, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, upon installing this RAM, I had XMP profile already on, and it booted straight up @ 2133 without any intervention. A full memtest run later it was considered good to go.. Final Settings: CPU: 4.3Ghz GPU: 1060Mhz RAM: 2133Mhz High end OC - AIR Time to Strap on a Noctua U12 and get into it. CPU: Raising the Voltage to 1.5V brings us to the pointy end of Frequency scaling. At this voltage 4.5Ghz was stable. 4.6 - a bit iffy especially when OCing the GPU as well.. this all adds heat, and there's not too much point of a stable CPU clock only when it's loaded on its own! So in effect, if I was testing the CPU portion on it's own, perhaps with a discrete GFX, 4.6 Would be quite doable. GPU & NB Increasing the CPU-NB voltage allowed further scaling of the GPU Clock. It also seemed to aid further RAM overclocking, after it too had its voltage raised from 1.5 to 1.62. Final Settings: CPU: 4600Mhz NB clock of 2.3Ghz RAM clock 2400 GPU: 1120Mhz As you can see, 2K 3DM was broken without too much fuss. This was a fun goal, and I'll probably load this OC profile up again soon and aim for 2100 The effect on Gaming FPS is also significant as the results below show. Performance Results CPU Benchmarks: Gaming Benchmarks All in all, Overclocking yielded a ~10% increase in CPU performance, and ~29% in Gaming. Obviously there's more thermal and frequency headroom on the GPU side. This will become clear in the next section. ----- Analyzing BF3 performance Since this is the game with actual in game- testing, lets look at the performance in a bit more detail. Using FRAPS, I've recorded general Multiplayer conquest game play across several maps (at each clockspeed) and graphed FPS over time . Thankfully performance between maps is fairly consistent, and i think you'd be hard pressed to pick there's multiple maps joined in that data. The thing to take from this is as I mentioned, FPS never really dips to anything below around 25FPS, there's no hesitations or lags (which sould show up as massive dips in FPS). ---- Taming the CPU power consumption - Under Volting / clocking! With the K series Quad core APU's all coming with a 100W TDP, power consumption is a potential Issue. The large majority of this TDP is aimed at the CPU, in order push the frequency high enough So, when it comes to increasing the overall Performance/watt it make sense to me at least to focus on bringing CPU consumption down. Looking at the 65W Models tells a lot about what should be achievable. Looking at the A8-5700 one can see with a 3.4Ghz base clock vs 3.8 for the 5800K and only 40Mhz difference in the max GPU clock, the GPU is not the limiting factor. So the goal of this exercise ? Sacrifice a small amount of CPU performance, and hopefully gain more GPU performance, all while lowering power consumption at the same time. Target Settings: CPU Frequency: 3.4Ghz RAM Frequecny: 2133Mhz GPU: 1000Mhz Voltages: CPU: 1.15 set CPU-NB: 1.17 set DDR3: 1.5v (default) Power consumption: The Following are all Platform power consumption. I.E Motherboard, CPU RAM (not HDD) To measure this I'm using a 120W PicoPSU , and measuring DC Current and voltage on the input. This gives us Accurate readings for the all 12V consumption, as it is passed through directly. The 3.3 and 5V rails run through regulators, so there are some losses here, but these ar e minor rails, and the efficiency of these regulators is quite high.. In a nutshell, it's simply a far better method than measuring AC wall power. The only downside? I cannot measure Overvolted consumption, as it exceeds the Pico PSU's rating. Performance Results: Performance / Watt The results speak for themselves here.. A 53% increase in CPU performance / Watt.. and with the extra gaming performance over stock, a massive 73% higher during a game of BF3 A total system power draw of just 71W during BF3 - which uses most of the CPU resources is quite impressive at this level of performance. ------ Conclusions: Platform impressions: Firstly it has to be said, that this is a very competent platform. These days there's really no argument to be had between Intel vs AMD at a platform quality level. While Intel has traditionally set's the bar. AMD have refined their platform to an distinguishable level in stability. Whether SATA3 and USB performance is also now a match, I haven't been able to compare YET, but In the second part of this article I intend to do this. The indication is that the performance here has improved enough to compete, which is promising. It's also a lot of fun to play with. The unlocked K series gives you free reign with everything, and there's twice as much to play with now too. There are some issues with Overclocking and Turbo functionality. It would be nice to see these rectified, as I think having to sacrifice this functionality when moving from default settings isn't that great. After all It works on AM3 platforms (most of the time) The APU Itelf is a mixed bag. On the CPU front, whilst performance is adequate, and fully inline with its completion (if not faster - at least in Multi-threaded loads), it does really demand too much power at stock settings. Whilst i understand the reasoning behind the 100W TDP class, It's clear the main contributor to this is the CPU, and when it isn't offering significantly more performance than Intel it doesn't seem worth pushing to these frequencies. Sacrificing just a bit of performance, gives you a 65W TDP, in the form of the A8-5700. I haven't tested that APU, and its availabilty here is seemingly non existent. but obviously, it's CPU consumption would be a lot closer to competition, and it has the benefit of fitting into a 65W TDP out of the box. Nevertheless, the undervolting exercise showed the potential, and what you can achieve with just a little time in the BIOS if a lower TDP is what you're after. The GPU side of things more than makes up for any shortfalls in the CPU. It's common knowledge its performance is in a different class to both the equivalently priced, and highest offering from the competition. But regardless of this, for the most part, perhaps for the first time in the history of IGP's, is actually a plausible option for basic, low power gaming machine.. even at the popular 1080P resolution. It also achieves this with astonishingly low power consumption. Even out of the box, taking up a considerably smaller share of the APU's TDP. Finally. The motherboard has to get a special mention. If there's anything to complain about here. it has to be the fact I can't buy an 8 core (thread) FM2 CPU to put in it.. Overclocking was painless, everything functioned perfectly overclocked or not. I honestly can't think of anything worth a mention except perhaps the slightly confusing voltage There are 95W 8 core AM3 models launching at the moment that would go great guns in here even without an IGP. 'Part II' of this will be a follow up looking at platform performance (USB, SATA) and also should have a Core i3 onboard, to look at some comparative performance. including GPGPU |

Nice one mate, I've got some different gaming results coming up and a dry ice run

Good article. I liked the stock voltage overclock and undervolting/clocking sections.

Awesome review! Was holding off untill richland to upgrade my htpc but now I think I might go for a 5800k+mATX.
Does anyone know much about FM2 mATX boards? There are heaps of motherboards but not many reviews.

Dirty.. Wouldn't mind a dry ice run either. I just hate doing anything sub zero in weather like this (too humid and hot!)
I might push some more with some chilled water instead Bob: If the quality of this board filteres down to the cheaper / mATX GB boards, they might be worth a shot. At the least, find some model numbers and search for reviews on them specifically. |

I think I might be falling in love with AMD all over again...... (PS. mAJORD, what heatsink did you use, the standard AMD one or a custom job?) Last edited by kandrews; 23rd January 2013 at 11:19 PM. |
