The Nance
June 19 – July 5, 2015
Starring B.J. Cleveland
Kalita Humphreys Theater
Uptown Players will kick off its main stage season with the regional premiere of The Nance, the 2013 Tony Award and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning play written by Douglas Carter Beane. The Nance recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque's heyday and tells the backstage story of Chauncey Miles and his fellow performers. At a time when it is easy to play gay and dangerous to be gay, Chauncey's uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life. The production will star B.J. Cleveland as Chauncey, the role that won Nathan Lane a 2013 Tony Award and a 2013 Outer Critics Circle Award.
or call 214-219-2718
Uptown Players is thrilled to announce its 2015 season at the Kalita Humphreys Theater complex, which will feature the regional premiere of the 2013 Tony Award nominated play, The Nance, the professional area premiere of the 2011 Tony nominated musical Catch Me If You Can, the 2014 Tony award winning musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, plus a new play entitled Harbor, which just completed a successful off-broadway run.
Uptown Players will also present its annual fundraising performance, this year entitled Christmas Our Way, which will be held in December 2014. Uptown Players will present Gilligan's Fire Island, another world premiere parody from the creator of Re-Designing Women and The Facts of Life this spring in the Rose Room Theater at S4.

Govt needs to quickly tackle dengue situation in 'large' Serangoon, Hougang clusters: Grace Fu
Published on Jun 22, 2014 9:04 PM
SINGAPORE - The authorities need to quickly "get a handle on the situation" in Serangoon, Kovan and Hougang, where dengue has spread widely creating some of the largest clusters across Singapore, said Second Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Grace Fu on Sunday.
That is why they are paying particular attention to the area, she said, to better understand mosquito breeding patterns there so as to reduce the number of infections.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) has, since two weeks ago, stepped up its efforts by deploying 200 officers there daily - including at night and on weekends - to uncover and destroy breeding sites.
The 17 dengue clusters in the area, which has historically been a dengue hotspot, have led to more than 650 people being infected this year(2014).

Help coming for uninsured in Tunica Co.
Uninsured and underinsured Tunica County residents will soon be able to save money on prescription drugs and customary dental services, thanks to the county's membership in a national government association.
As part of its membership in the National Association of County Officials (NACO), Tunica County is able to enroll in the discount programs which, thanks to the size of NACO's membership, will mean savings for eligible residents.
"It's two programs we're enrolling in – one is a discount prescription drug program and the other one is a discount dental program," said Tunica County Supervisor Phillis Williams. "It's for all the residents who don't have insurance. It's not something for those who already have insurance coverage."
According to Williams, there is no cost for the county to participate in either program, which is made available to all counties holding an active membership in NACO.

I have no intention of following this diet. I won't be testing either. My goal it to just eat healthy and in moderation, but I won't be counting carbs and I am damn well going to enjoy my fruit. Depriving myself of fruit has been the worst and probably the dumbest thing I have had to do to control this stupid diagnosis.

I'll say I want to, but I won't follow it religiously. I'd like to give myself a cheat day or meal or something. It's weird because I'm having a hard time eating the daily carb minimum, which was never a problem before but I know it's because I'm not eating as much rice or pasta... or cake... as I used to.
I don't think it'll be so bad if I don't have to worry about fasting numbers, though.
I will probably add in more fruit, but I'm definitely cutting out white carbs... ie, potatoes, cereal (was never a cereal person anyway), white bread, white pasta, etc. And going for more whole grain. And upping my protein. I think that's where I fail. I would eat 2 peices of fruit for brekafast and an english muffin with 8oz of OJ. Talk about high carb and I didn't even realize it was loaded with sugar/carbs. :)

"Finally Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but no means no." ~ Rep. Lisa Brown
Aside from continuing to eat whole wheat (since I'm used to it now), I don't think I'll be following this diet.
I miss pizza, (white) pasta, french fries and ice cream! (In moderation, of course.)
Also, I will be so glad when I don't have to look at a clock every time I eat or stab myself in the finger an hour after each meal!!!!!!
Welcomed our bundle of joy on April 2! :-)
I don't think I will follow it but the things Ive learned (namely that whole grains, fat and protein are your friends) will probably make me adjust my diet anyways. And I never used to eat breakfast, I can't imagine not doing it now!

Demand "complete" implementation of Verma Committee's recommendations
Terming the Union Government's ordinance on sexual violence against women an "eyewash" and "mockery" of the Justice Verma Committee recommendations, several women's groups here in the Capital have protested and demanded complete implementation of the committee's recommendations. To keep up the pressure on the Government, they now plan to hold a "people's watch over Parliament" and a signature campaign from February 21, the beginning of the Budget session.
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance 2013 was promulgated by President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday.
"This ordinance is an eyewash because it is nothing but the Government's old discredited Criminal Law Amendment Bill 2012 with some extra window dressing. They have diluted and left out all the strong recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee that actually reflected the idea of protecting women's autonomy," said Kavita Krishnan, secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA), adding, "We want a Bill based on not the ordinance but on the Verma Committee's recommendations. The ordinance continues to make excuses for certain powerful perpetrators of rape: it continues to ensure that certain institutions of power [marriage/police/army/judges/magistrates/public servants/politicians] remain protected from prosecution for rape."
She said the ordinance rejected the recommendation for "command responsibility" in case of custodial rape by police or army, by which a superior officer should be held responsible if a junior officer committed rape or sexual assault. The ordinance also did not accommodate the recommendation that no sanction be required to prosecute public servants accused of sexual violence. The panel had wanted AFSPA amended to do away with the requirement for sanction to prosecute an army officer accused of sexual violence. By rejecting such recommendations, the ordinance perpetuated impunity in rape and violence against women, she said.
"The ordinance refuses to include marital rape in the rape law — and it continues to give a lesser punishment for rape of a separated wife by a husband. It makes no move to implement the electoral reforms called for by Justice Verma specifically against candidates and elected representatives accused of serious sexual offences," she said.
The All India Democratic Women's Association also protested against the ordinance.

Microsoft Signs Licensing Agreements for exFAT With Sharp, Sigma, NextoDi, Black Magic and Atomos Global
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Microsoft Corp. announced today that it signed patent licensing agreements for the use of the latest Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT) with five companies, spanning industries including high-end camcorders, digital cameras and Android tablets.
) The agreements cover Sharp Android tablets, Sigma and NextoDi high-end cameras and accessories, and Black Magic and Atomos Global broadcast-quality video-recording devices.
exFAT is a modern file system that facilitates large files for audiovisual media and enables seamless data portability for an easy interchange of files between electronic devices. exFAT vastly improves on its predecessor, the FAT file system, and expands the size of files that flash memory devices can handle by more than five times. It also greatly increases the speed with which those files can be accessed.
"Today's agreements demonstrate the continued success of our licensing program and highlight the adoption of exFAT across multiple industries and many product offerings," said David Kaefer, general manager of Intellectual Property (IP) Licensing at Microsoft. "The unique capabilities of exFAT allow licensees to tailor their products to evolving markets while also meeting the changing needs of their customers." Microsoft's Commitment to Intellectual Property CollaborationMicrosoft offers flexible IP licensing programs that give companies access to many of the foundational technologies in its own products, allowing those companies to build devices, applications and services that work seamlessly with one another.
Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing program in December 2003, the company has entered into more than 1,100 licensing agreements and continues to develop programs that make it possible for customers, partners and competitors to access its IP portfolio. The program was developed to open access to Microsoft's significant R&D investments and its growing, broad patent and IP portfolio.
Microsoft has entered into similar exFAT patent licensing agreements with several leading consumer electronics manufacturers, including Panasonic Corp., Sony Corp. and Canon Inc., through its IP licensing program More information on Microsoft's IP licensing program is available at
and information specifically related to Microsoft's exFAT licensing program is available at
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

Rory, Tiger lose matches in Turkey
BELEK, Turkey (AP)
The anticipated matchup between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods on Wednesday may not count for much after both lost their opening matches at the eight-player World Golf Finals.
McIlroy lost to Matt Kuchar by six shots and Woods fell to Charl Schwartzel by one shot on Tuesday in the $5.2 million event at the Sultan course in Antalya.
In the other group of the medal match-play format, Lee Westwood beat Webb Simpson by one shot and Justin Rose defeated Hunter Mahan by four strokes.
McIlroy and Woods - ranked No. 1 and No. 2 - face each other Wednesday in the last of their three group matches, but both could already be eliminated by then. The top two in each group will advance to the semifinals.
In Wednesday's morning matches, McIlroy will face Schwartzel and Woods will play Kuchar.
Woods and Schwartzel were all-square going to the 18th when the American went into a greenside bunker and finished with a bogey.
''It came right down to the wire, but I can't believe how far that second shot flew into the back bunker and that was the match,'' Woods said. ''`It means now that I have to play `Kooch' and try and win that match before facing Rory in the afternoon.''
McIlroy unraveled against Kuchar with a triple bogey at the 15th hole and double bogeys at 16 and 17.
''I hit a drive into the trees on 15 and lost a bit of confidence,'' McIlroy said. ''I need to win both of my matches tomorrow if I am to advance. I just struggled for a bit of motivation out there, so I need to go out and concentrate on both of my matches tomorrow.''
Kuchar, after taking a bogey at the first, birdied the next two holes and was never behind.
''I just thought I had to play mistake-free, and hopefully Rory wouldn't get too hot,'' the American said. ''There we are all-square with four to go, he hits it right and makes triple bogey, and I go three up with three to go and I think both of us lost a little interest at that point.''
The event allows players to wear shorts, and Westwood, Schwartzel, Mahan and Kuchar chose to do so. All but Mahan won their matches. Westwood wore a red shirt and white shorts in tribute to his favorite soccer club, Nottingham Forest.
''Them are footballers legs,'' Westwood said. ''I could still play for Forest with these legs.''
Kuchar said he was happy to wear shorts again. He spent the week after the Ryder Cup loss to the European with his family in Greece.
''Being able to come to an event like this that is a little more relaxed is just great to be able to throw shorts on,'' he said.
The winner of the event, sponsored by Turkish Airways, will receive $1.5 million.

The International Olympic Committee has accepted Brazil's request for a new medal for judoka Felipe Kitadai, after he broke the bronze he won in the under 60 kg category at the London Olympics.
"The new medal is already in the possession of the local organizing committee," Claudio Mota, a spokesman for the Brazilian Olympic Committee, told DPA on Monday.
Mota said Kitadai broke the medal while in the shower of his room at the Olympic Village. Kitadai, 25, was apparently so excited about making it to the podium at the Games on Saturday that he did not want to let go of his medal, even if just for a few minutes.
"He took it into the shower, and in order to prevent it from getting wet he kept it between his teeth. But the medal fell onto the floor and broke. It was his fault," Mota said.

Im an electrical engineer and have tried using the calculator but there doesn't seem to be a decimal point on the numeric keyboard. So adding a 0.1 isn't possible. Please could this be rectfied.
(43 stars)
I have a galaxy s4 and since the update there is no decimal point on the calculations key's so I can't use the app properly

Good app, had a few problems at first, but all sorted now.
(43 stars)
Thanks for this app, I'm an electrical inspector so having these details to hand is very helpful. The Manufacturers Specific Details seems to only include Merlin Gerin now, please add the details of other manufacturers like old version had. Thanks.
(43 stars)
Great app with a lot of useful information. The only thing it's missing is an SWA earth equivalent chart. Since the update, the back button always closes the app, which is a bit annoying, and some charts don't scroll correctly. Visually, much better though..
(43 stars)
When looking for Zs of a device one can not read the type of MCB, e.g. B, C, D - might help if the App rotated so one could see all the text on a line. Very disappointing, badly laid out and somewhat usless if you can not read to select the correct device. Works well enough on my iPad but not on the Samsung S4.
(43 stars)
Needs better guides to explain options and the author should invest in a spell checker. Far too many typos.

This app uses data to turn your phone into a hotspot.
This hotspot app allows you to turn your phone into a hotspot. You can't be on Wi-Fi. You must be on 3G or 4G data. You have to configure the app and then, if the phone has the capabilities, it can turn into a hotspot. Other devices that are capable of connecting to Wi-Fi, such as tablets and laptops, can now connect to your device.
The app is not the easiest thing to set up, but once you get the hang of it, it does get easier. It uses a lot of data, depending on how many other devices are connected and what they're doing.

Jason Oliver Nixon & John Loecke
"A set of two etched brass bowls from India. We think that these might have been owned once by a woman named Gitu who employed these vessels to carry water from the well to her native village perched high atop a hillside where she raised goats and harvested quinoa and was known to drink the occasional fifth of Scotch with her neighbors. You can store your keys in these."
John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon are the dynamic duo behind Madcap Cottage, their Brooklyn-based interior design firm. Known for their whimsical use of color and pattern, the Madcap gents scour the world for eclectic finds that capture their unique and gimlet-eyed view of the world. Imagine a British country house that pairs Granny's antiques and a spirited dash of chinoiserie chic with a side of Moroccan marvelous and Indian élan. "If you are looking for beige and boring," says Jason, "go bark up someone else's tree."

9. The Greens and local third-party politics: Not dead, not particularly well.
In 2001, the Green Party elected two candidates to the Minneapolis City Council, thus ending the DFL monopoly at City Hall and generating plenty of giddy speculation about the improved local prospects of third-party movements. The DFL undertook to quash the Green specter, and one measure of their success lies in the fact that both incumbent Greens on the City Council this year were running against other incumbents, thanks to redistricting. Both Greens lost their bids for reelection. Natalie Johnson Lee--who had shocked the city's political establishment by upsetting former City Council president Jackie Cherryhomes in 2001--was soundly trounced in the Fifth, and party stalwart Dean Zimmermann--running under the cloud of a federal corruption probe--lost by a 46-vote margin in the Sixth.
Still, Minneapolis voters did give the Greens two consolation prizes. In a hotly contested park board race, incumbent at-large member Annie Young narrowly retained her position. And in the biggest surprise of the night, Cam Gordon--a founding member of the Minnesota Greens--was elected to represent the Second Ward on the City Council. --Mike Mosedale

By Alan Scherstuhl
Which may be beside the point, because Téchiné is all about texture, and Changing Times is soil-rich with thoughtful messiness, from the autumnal angst darkening the exhausted visage of star Gérard Depardieu to the stormy evocation of postcolonial life. Set in Tangier almost entirely among bourgeois French émigrés, Téchiné's film obsessively detours, often just visually, toward the background of the still oppressed Arab poor, day workers, refugees, rampant Euro-development (Depardieu plays a mega-site construction manager), and pious Muslim women forced to work the counter at a Moroccan McDonald's. These contemplations almost form a second movie, upstaged by the dramatics caused by Depardieu's unhappy suit, who is actually in the country to woo Catherine Deneuve's aging radio host, for whom he's held a candle for 30 years.
His motivations are only gradually revealed, but meanwhile the mix is complicated by Deneuve's bi son (Malik Zidi), who returns from Paris with a tetchy Arab girlfriend (Lubna Azabal) and a young son of his own, and who is rather more interested in a Moroccan boyfriend (Nadem Rachati). Addiction, Islamic propriety versus blood ties, infidelity, marital turbulencethe screenplay (co-written with Laurent Guyot and Rivette-and-Ruiz vet Pascal Bonitzer) tries but fails to knit its multitude of ideas together. The implicit political statement encroaching on nearly every shot and every character never coalescesthe hero's mission of the heart is genuine, and his beleaguered role as a corporate bulldozer seems beside the primary romantic point. We, in any case, are as unconvinced by his lovelorn saga as Deneuve's skeptical pragmatistthat is, until a romance paperback deus ex machina shoots the film's lifelike credibility out of the water.

International Multiculturalism Symposium
Comparative Multiculturalism from Transnational and Global Perspectives
Organised by The Centre for Citizenship and Globalisation
Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia
in partnership with
The Audiovisual Media Lab for the study of Cultures and Societies
University of Ottawa, Canada
and supported by
Australian Multicultural Foundation
Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board
Immigration debates and the rise of human mobility in many European and North American countries, but as well in Australia and New Zealand reflect a number of transnational discursive productions, such as the perception of porous national borders, socio-economic insecurity, and rising political instability. As a response to this rise in immigration flows and human mobility, many émigré-societies have heavily relied on multiculturalism as a social policy response to deal with settlement's related issues of new immigrants. The symposium will also explore different issues such as the meaning of citizenship, social justice, intercultural tensions and related social problems.
However, more recently, multiculturalism has come under attack and gradually started to retreat as a socio-political concept for dealing with cultural and religious diversity in the wake of today's economic difficulties and security risks and the rise of human mobility. Indeed, multiculturalism is now being undermined by stronger discursive practices, which tend to encourage a commitment to particular mainstream values of national identity. Within this retreating version of multiculturalism, whose discursive trajectories seem to move from cosmopolitanism to assimilationism, migrant communities in Western émigré countries, as well as western nationals with visible and invisible non-western markers, are increasingly engaging and challenging notions of representations, national belonging, and cultural identity.
This symposium features a number of prominent international scholars who will discuss and present their latest research and reflections on multiculturalism. Among others themes, the participants will address the following key issues:
- Rethinking multiculturalism in/for the context of 21st century
- Transnational multiculturalism
- Multiculturalism and cultural representations
- Visibility/invisibility of racial, cultural, and religious minorities in émigré societies
- The state of multiculturalism and indigenous communities

Islamophobes and Islamists Unite: Multiculturalism and the question of the Silent Majority
Professor Shahram Akbarzadeh and *Joshua M. Roose
Whilst a burgeoning level of academic scrutiny is being focussed upon moderate Muslims, this paper also notes the absence of academic literature on a large part of the Muslim population whose public life is not necessarily guided by their religion. This group is unrepresented in the public debate on Islam and is often ignored. Yet they could constitute the majority of Western Muslims. This paper poses a number of questions about the role of Islam in multicultural societies, with special attention to the implications of ignoring the silent Muslim majority.
Joshua Roose is a PhD Student and Researcher at the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Joshua's work examines the key social influences upon identity construction and expression amongst young Australian Muslim men. Joshua's most recent work was the presentation of a paper titled The Future of Islam and Australian Multiculturalism at the 2010 Australian Political studies Association Conference.
Secularism, sexual exceptionalism and the new politics of belonging in a 'vulnerable' nation: Rethinking the 'multicultural dilemma' through contemporary Quebec
Associate Professor Sirma Bilge
Though following the broader dichotomous frame of contemporary western 'sexual exceptionalism', opposing a sexually liberated, feminist and gay-friendly "modernity", "Us", to inherently patriarchal and homophobic pre-modern Others, who are either to be excluded from our civilized space or to be reformed, Quebecois rhetorics of exclusion also display significant specificities that pinpoint to newer temporal contradictions within the national narrative and underscore ambivalences and internal inconsistencies in the location of gender and sexualities vis-à-vis nation and nationalism.

Resilient multiculturalism? Diversifying Australian policy thinking about community resilience in disasters and emergencies
Associate Professor Michele Grossman
However, a primary conclusion of the AEMI's joint four-year program with the Australian Multicultural Commission is that CALD communities are largely 'vulnerable' in the context of disasters and emergency management and need to be better integrated into majority-culture models of theorising and embedding community resilience. The focus on vulnerability and the need for stronger national integration echoes Derek McGhee's recent critique of Britain's Strength in Diversity framework, which he suggests beats a retreat from multiculturalism by using a 'variety of "civic integration" masquerading as a two-way ("host" and "migrant") integration strategy' (2008: 88). The sense of retreat is further reinforced by the silence in recent national frameworks on Australia's multicultural fabric when discussing 'community resilience' in relation to emergency and disaster service provision, education, and communication.
This suggests a superficial, even tokenistic tribute to cultural diversity that does not embed diversity comprehensively at the levels of either conceptualising or resourcing 'community' resilience. Such an approach fails to acknowledge the varieties of 'resilience capital' that many culturally diverse individuals and communities may bring with them when they resettle in new environments by ignoring the question of what 'resilience' actually means to those from culturally diverse communities. In so doing, it also avoids the critical task of incorporating intercultural definitional diversity around the concepts of both 'community' and 'resilience' used to promote social cohesion and the capacity to recover from disasters and crises. How might we do differently in thinking about the broader challenges for multiculturalism itself as a resilient transnational concept and practice?
The Flatness of Modern Diversity: From Assimilation to Ontological Cleansing
Professor Paul James
From multiculturalism to community cohesion: a local UK case study
Dr Hannah Lewis
This research looked at the situation in a northern city that reflects national trends. 'Equalities' and 'community cohesion' have taken over as the dominant concepts, coupled with an emphasis on individual civic participation. Promotion of good community relations conflicted with other, often national, policies and discourses that stigmatise British Muslims and that create barriers to integration. This has led to a de-emphasising rather than 'retreat' from multiculturalism. Such shifts may now be given fresh and increasing momentum from the change in central government to a centre-right coalition and could be a portent of trends to come in Australia.
Religious Diversity in New Zealand: Education, Employment and the Media
Professor Paul Morris
Abstract:In the last two decades New Zealand has been dramatically transformed from unique and largely Christian bicultural nation into a multi-religious country with a bare Christian majority and a third of the population declaring 'no religion'. Starting from the attempt to explain the rapidly changing religious demography, this paper explores the impact and implications of this new religious diversity for social cohesion, social stability, biculturalism and the changed role of religion in New Zealand. The focus in section two will be on three domains: education; employment; and, the media. The final section will explicate the relationships between multi-religious and multicultural diversity and the relationship of the two to biculturalism as the basis for a discussion of future trends and tensions in New Zealand.
Multiculturalism and Progressive Politics
Associate Professor Elizabeth Rata
Abstract:The taken-for-granted progressive nature of multiculturalism has been questioned in recent years. While cultural politics in all its forms: multiculturalism, biculturalism (in New Zealand), and indigenism, are aspects of the modern project, do such politics support the progressive goal of redistributive social and economic justice? Could in fact cultural politics contribute to that goal or does progressive politics require the assimilationist modern nation-state? I explore these questions by examining the nation-state as the site for the classed worker and the liberal-democratic citizen to argue that progressive politics has its source and its strength in the contradictions of that class-citizen dialectic. Culturalism, on the other hand, supports the weakening of the liberal-democratic nation-state by contributing to the politics of localisation; the flip side of globalisation's neo-conservative interests.

ASUS Upcoming Product - ROG Connect allows on-the-fly Overclocking
EXCLUSIVE - Last Friday we visited the ASUS headquarters here in Taipei and got a look at some of their upcoming products.
Our fourth and final preview from the ASUS visit was a look at the upcoming Maximus III Extreme motherboard based on the Intel P55 Express chipset.
The exciting part of this preview was not so much the motherboard itself, but one of the key selling point features that it includes. You may or may not have heard about it, but ROG (Republic of Gamers) Connect is an interesting inclusion to the Extreme model that allows overclocking and BIOS adjustments on-the-fly from another system.
ROG Connect uses a special provided USB cable that runs from a specific ROG Connect USB port on the I/O panel of the motherboard and hooks up to another computer running Windows. ASUS, of course, had an Eee PC netbook running the ROG Connect "RC Tweak It" application and it operated just fine.
In the video we uploaded below, one of the product managers at ASUS started running 3DMark Vantage and then proceeded to mildly overclock the CPU via the Eee PC netbook. As you'll see, you can also do other things such as monitor real-time current and voltages.
Very interesting indeed. This is probably going to bring up an issue for Futuremark as far as I can see, as since ROG Connect overclocks on the fly and separate from the system running the benchmark, cheating could possibly occur. ASUS also intends to showcase its ROG Connect Bluetooth (RCB) at CES next month, which allows the same type of operation except on certain mobile phones over a Bluetooth connection.

ASUS Upcoming Product - Radeon HD 5850 Voltage Tweak Overclocking
EXCLUSIVE - Last Friday we visited the ASUS headquarters here in Taipei and got a look at some of their upcoming products.
Our third item of viewing during our visit to ASUS was their upcoming ATI Radeon HD 5850 Voltage Tweak video card.
Using the ASUS Smart Doctor video card overclocking software, we saw just how far an ASUS Radeon HD 5850 Voltage Tweak can be overclocked by making adjustments to how much juice the GPU is getting.
Just how far though? Hit play on the video below and find out as we take a closer look.
It does seem as if this will be one video card to keep an eye out for.

MSI overclocking competition offers $7,500 in prizes
Asus is certainly a popular maker of computer hardware and netbooks. MSI has perhaps the coolest mainboard for enthusiasts that is available called the Big Bang Fusion. This is the board that allows you to mix and match video card models and brands and still get all the performance from your machine.
MSI has announced that it is holding an overclocking contest and each week one winner will be chosen and given a new Big Bang mainboard. The competition is the MSI Xtreem Speeder P55 global online overclocking competition. The contest is being run with the overclocking site HWBOT.
The contest will run for four weeks starting on November 15 and finish on December 13. The competition is restricted to users with the MSI P55 mainboard and a regular retail Lynnfield CPU. That means none of those Engineering samples you might have lying around can be used. Benchmarks include accumulated scores of the CPU-Z, SuperPI 32M and Wprime 32M test suits.

GIGABYTE wind up the P55 OverclocKing and 10K challenges
GIGABYTE have fired up two new challenges lined for overclockers this month; the P55 Overclocking Challenge and 10K challenge.
With regard to the P55 Overclocking Challenge, as long as you have a P55 based setup with a Core i5 or i7 processor ready to be clocked through the roof, you can enter and compete for the overall "OverclocKing" title.
The top three overall 3DMark 06 scorers worldwide on a GIGABYTE P55 motherboard will be crowned OverclocKing, along with some pretty amazing hardware loot from GIGABYTE, Antec, Kingmax, GlacialTech and Enermax. There will also be a weekly lucky draw for contestants entered in the OverclocKing challenge, with winners receiving a GIGABYTE motherboard.
Further to that is the 10K Challenge in which anyone with an Intel chipset based motherboard can participate in. The aim is to be one of the first three people to get a 3DMark score of exactly 10,000 under any version of 3DMark. If you can pull that off successfully, you'll find yourself with a bunch of goodies from GIGABYTE, Antec, Kingmax, GlacialTech and Enermax.
If you manage to get exactly 10K but don't make the cut for the first three, it's still worth submitting your score to GIGABYTE as you'll then be placed into a lucky draw at the end of the comp to be in with a chance for one of GIGABYTE's latest motherboards.
For full details on both competitions, you can read up on the full announcement here.
If you'd like to head straight over to the official competition page to enter, click here.

Core i5 750 Clocked to 4.4GHz on air stable
Last night I was playing around with Intel's new Lynnfield and wanted to see what I might be able to get out of it. I was not looking to spend a ton of time but wanted to see what the fastest stable overclock on air I was able to get.
So I hooked up my trusty ASRock P55 Deluxe that we reviewed with the Lynnfield and dropped the Core i5 750 into it. I also had an 8GB kit of Corsair Memory that I was testing (expect a review of it shortly)so I dropped that in as well. To get things off the ground I went straight to the OC Tweaker page and hit the EZ OC settings. I selected 4200MHz and let the board set everything up. I rebooted and was off and running at 4.2GHz no problem.
Restarting the system I headed right back into the BIOS. From there I pushed the BClK up to 215 MHz and made sure Turbo was enabled for that 21x Multiplier. From there I was able to hit the login screen but after entering the password I got an immediate blue screen. It looked like 4.5GHz was out of the question. From there I started working backwards. I ended up with a very healthy 210 BLCK at a 21 Multiplier. The Corsair memory was humming along at 1686MHz with timings of 8-8-8-24 1T. At this speed some of my tests started crashing so I backed the memory off a slower 1264MHZ but I was able to drop the latency to 7.
From there I was able to put up a 32M SuperPi score that ranks w8th in the world for the Core i5 750 on the ASRock board. Not too terribly bad for spending around 20 minutes to see what this little chip could do.
In short the Core i5 750 is quite the impressive CPU, the removal of the extra memory channel and Hyper-Threading makes it very overclockable and a threat to AMD's low end CPUs. Up till now AMD has been able to hold price and overclockability over Intel's head. Well it looks like that is in danger of coming to an end.

Gulftown Overclocked to 6.386GHz
Yesterday we told you about AMD announcing their new hexa-core Thuban CPU on the day before IDF. Well, that news has been eclipsed with a single act. Overclocking master Shamino took an early engineering sample of Intel's six-core 32nm Gulftown and pushed it to an impressive 6.386GHz.
To reach this speed he needed some LN and 2.02 volts. The 6.386GHz OC is very nice but was not bench stable. To run 3DMark Vantage for a CPU score he had to drop back to 5.9GHz (still a nice overclock).
At this speed the new Gulftown was still able to completely smash the existing world record for CPU score with a staggering 51,177 not using any GPU based Physics. Now when you consider that the current record is only 32,328 you can see just how impressive this feat truly is.
AMD has a ton of work in front of them If this score and overclock are in any way representative of what we will see from Gulftown once the new 32nm CPU hit the stores in 2010.

VII. Denial of Citizenship
The Burmese government has for many years rejected Rohingya Muslims as a recognized "national race" and effectively denied them the ability to obtain citizenship. This has facilitated human rights abuses against them, and poses a serious obstacle to achieving long-term solutions to the violence and abuse in Arakan State.
Human Rights Watch, UN agencies, and others have long recognized the denial of citizenship to Rohingya as a root cause of the violence in Arakan State.[326] At the core of the problem is Burma's discriminatory 1982 Citizenship Law.
While countries have the authority to determine their own criteria for conferring citizenship, this criteria must be in conformity with a country's international human rights obligations. Burma's 1982 Citizenship Law and its application have effectively prevented ethnic Rohingya from obtaining Burmese citizenship, resulting in an arbitrary deprivation of citizenship in contravention of international human rights standards.[327]
OCHA and other international agencies have offered to support the government to review the 1982 Citizenship Law to bring it in line with international standards, yet the government has not availed itself of these offers.[328]
The central government's response to the question of citizenship has recently involved a process of "citizenship scrutiny" led by the Ministry of Immigration in Pauktaw Township, where several thousand Rohingya IDPs are located. In December, a displaced Rohingya told Human Rights Watch: "The immigration department is taking the registration of the people, and on the paper where there is a space for nationality, they do not put Rohingya, they put Bengali."[329] News reports confirmed government officers were determining the lineage of the IDPs but registering their ethnicity as "Bengali" or "Bengali/Islam." When asked about the potential effect of this, a Burmese officer said, "We're collecting data, not making decisions on nationality."[330]
The UN and humanitarian organizations in Arakan State have identified risks associated with the government's response to the citizenship issue. The UN's November 2012 Rakhine Response Plan states:
In early November 2012, community members living in Pauk Taw Township informed that Government officials had commenced a nationality verification exercise. Lack of clear communication to the community on the overall objective of the verification exercise, coupled with reports of intimidation faced by the communities, might increase tensions within the community, and trigger further inter-communal violence and displacement.[331]
Burma's 1982 Citizenship Law designates three categories of citizens: full citizens; associate citizens; and naturalized citizens. Color-coded Citizenship Scrutiny Cards are issued according to citizenship status – pink, blue, and green, respectively. Many Rohingya hold white cards, or "temporary registration cards," which come with no citizenship rights. These national identity cards contain ethnic and religious biographical details that facilitate discrimination by local officials against Muslims and other religious and ethnic minorities.[332]
By law, full citizens are persons who belong to recognized "national races" (the eight primary races are Arakanese, Burman, Chin, Kachin, Karen, Karenni, Mon, and Shan) or those whose ancestors settled in the country before 1823, when Britain became the colonial power in the country. Under the 1948 law, individuals who could not provide evidence that their ancestors settled in Burma before 1823 could still be eligible for citizenship. But under the 1982 law, associate citizenship was only available to those who met the qualifications and had already had applied for citizenship before the 1982 law went into effect, excluding most Rohingya.
Under the 1982 law, those considered to be foreign nationals can become naturalized citizens if they can provide "conclusive evidence" that they or their parents entered and resided in Burma prior to independence in 1948. Persons who have at least one parent who holds one of the three types of Burmese citizenship are also eligible to become naturalized citizens. Beyond these two qualifications, the 1982 act stipulates that a person seeking to become a naturalized citizen must be at least 18 years old, able to speak one of the national languages well (the Rohingya language is not recognized as such), and be of good character, and sound mind.[333] According to the terms of the law, only full and naturalized citizens are "entitled to enjoy the rights of a citizen under the law, with the exception from time to time of the rights stipulated by the State." All forms of citizenship, "except a citizen by birth," may be revoked by the state.[334]
Most Rohingya lack formal documents, and even those who come from families that have lived in Burma for generations do not have any way of providing "conclusive evidence" of their lineage in Burma prior to 1948, let alone prior to 1823, denying them Burmese citizenship.[335] And although international law ensures non-citizens virtually all the rights of citizens, except for political rights such as voting, the Burmese government has long used the Rohingya's absence of citizenship to deny them their fundamental human rights. As the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Burma has stated, the 1982 Citizenship Law "contravenes generally accepted international norms to ensure that there is no State sanctioned discrimination on the basis of religion and ethnicity."[336]
The difficulty for Rohingya of providing "conclusive evidence" of their lineage increased in June 2012, when during the violence many Rohingya lost their documents in arson attacks or had them forcibly taken. Several Rohingya told Human Rights Watch that during the violence in June and October, local authorities or groups of Arakanese confiscated their ID cards. A Rohingya woman who survived an attack by a group of Arakanese said, "They [the attackers] brought a lot of cars and they were loading our belongings into the cars. They even took our IDs."[337]
A Rohingya woman who was displaced from Sittwe on June 10, and beaten severely over the head by an Arakanese man with an iron rod, told Human Rights Watch: "We kept all of our documents, my family list and my ... graduation certificate, in a bag. One [Arakanese] man came in and pointed his sword at me and said, 'Do you want to give me this or do you want to die?' I had to give him the bag."[338]
A Rohingya man, 42, said he feared authorities were forcibly relocating Rohingya outside Sittwe in a way that would create a paper trail identifying the displaced as "guests" in Burma. He said:
A high-ranking immigration officer came today and said he wanted a list of people who are taking shelter. He said he wanted a list so we made a list. We were given a written form to fill out, and instead of referring to displaced people, the form referred to "guest people." We said, "We are not guests here." The immigration officer replied, "I cannot do anything, this is from the higher authority. I just have to follow orders."[339]
When it has suited the government's purposes, rights are granted to the Rohingya. For example, non-citizen Rohingya in Arakan State have at times in the past been given the right to vote. Rohingya were permitted to vote and form political parties in the 1990 elections, and those holding "temporary registration cards" could vote in the 2010 elections. The vast majority of Rohingya who are registered to vote are members of the ruling Union State and Development Party (USDP), giving the government a reason to permit their vote.
Under the 1982 law, the children born to non-citizens do not obtain citizenship, perpetuating the denial of citizenship to Rohingya over generations. In order for a child to attain Burmese citizenship, at least one parent must already hold one of the three types of Burmese citizenship. Rohingya, who rarely can provide the government "conclusive evidence" of their lineage or history of residence, have children who also are without citizenship. In March 2012, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Burma reported that "tens of thousands of children remain unregistered" as a result of the citizenship law.[340]
In 1983, following the mass repatriation of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh in 1978, the Burmese government completed a nationwide census in which the Rohingya were not counted, further rendering them stateless through exclusion, compounding the stringencies of the 1982 law.
As noted above, many Burmese – officials and the general public – describe the Rohingya as a "fabricated" or "invented" group.[341]
While some Rohingya trace their lineage in Burma back centuries, many Muslims families in Arakan State migrated to and settled in Arakan during the British colonial period, which under the 1982 Citizenship Law directly excludes them from full citizenship. Rohingya whose families settled in the region during the colonial period would be eligible for less-than-full citizenship but are in effect excluded because of their inability to provide conclusive evidence of their lineage. Even those Rohingya whose families settled in the region before 1823 face the onerous burden of proving this to the satisfaction of the skeptical authorities, making it nearly impossible to secure Burmese citizenship.
Ethnic Arakanese interviewed by Human Rights Watch rejected the suggestion that the Rohingya should obtain citizenship as a distinct ethnic group. Many said the international community and, in particular, the international media are biased in favor of the Rohingya. U Hla Soe, the general secretary of the Arakanese-dominated political party RNDP, told Human Rights Watch:
We think that pro-Rohingya Islamic radicals have penetrated the exiled media, so the voice of Rohingya becomes louder and louder. ... They are demanding to be an ethnic nationality, and this we don't accept. The citizenship issue is very delicate. We hope that exiled radical forces in the West will stop the instigation, because these Muslim people are ignorant people. It is very easy to stimulate and instigate them.[342]
An Arakanese journalist told Human Rights Watch:
Many [international] journalists want to defend the Rohingya because they are losing, because they are the poorest people, the persecuted people. I don't blame them but they need to understand the whole picture. When only one side of the story is told, the Arakanese people are automatically regarded as cruel, and that is a problem.[343]
The "whole picture" he referred to is the fear among Arakanese of losing their cultural and ethnic identity to the Muslim population in Arakan State – it is an existential fear involving race, religion, and economics.
An Arakanese man in Mrauk-U Township said:
It is very, very difficult to live with the Muslim people in Arakan State. ... They want to occupy the land. We were not living together before 1824. The British controlled the Arakanese land in 1824 and they brought the Bengali people to Arakan State to work the rice paddy fields. ... The Bengali people are always thinking to start a problem. Other countries and media will be interested about the Rohingya, and they know that.[344]
The National Census
The government of Burma and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has been working on a national census, scheduled for completion in 2014. While the census is not a response to the situation in Arakan State, it will factor heavily into development priorities and will ultimately shape the government's response to the political and economic situation in the state. Burma's last census in 1983 excluded the Rohingya.[345] There are concerns the Rohingya will again be excluded from the census: in July 2012, Burma's immigration minister, Khin Yi, announced the Rohingya would not be included in the new census.[346]
In August, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, the executive director of UNFPA, stressed the importance of following UN international standards for conducting the census and committed UNFPA to including all population groups in the count.[347] The UNFPA intends to establish an advisory committee comprising representatives from Burma's ethnic nationalities to address concerns with the process; teachers from ethnic groups will be recruited to conduct the census as "enumerators" in their communities.[348] It is unclear whether Rohingya educators in Arakan State will be hired to conduct an objective census and whether Rohingya representatives will be appointed to the advisory committee.

For natural, unfussy waves, nothing beats a dip in the ocean. But short of moving to the Caribbean, theres no way to recreate that look at a moments notice—or so we thought. This two-in-one spray adds texture and shine to our hair, allowing us to create a piecey, tousled look minus the stiffening effects of salt water. Oribe's special Beach Wave Complex uses hydrolyzed wheat protein, vitamin B, copolymers, and amber extracts to pump up each hair shaft and add wavy texture. Meanwhile, a mix of moisturizers, including safflower seed oil and marigold extract, heals dry ends, and galanga root extracts contribute a natural dose of UV protection. It's suitable for all hair types, from superfine to ultrathick, and also safe for color-treated or processed strands.
Okay, so how I use it.... I curl/wave my hair with a curling wand, then when I finish and tousle my hair to make sure it doesn't look like curls, and more like actual waves, I spray this all over... You would not imagine the instant shine that it provides. There is also a slight hold, so that it keeps your hair in place (yet still flexible!). I don't know how well it would work on wet/damp hair, but the way I use it is fabulous and a truly fantastic product.5
I purchased this for when I was on vaction hoping to save some time on doing my hair, but sadly this did not work for my thick hair. Tended to just make it feel heavy and the texture it left on my hair felt weird. The smell was a little strange also. I am sure it is a great product just is not meant for my thicker hair.2
I'll start out saying you definitely have to know what you're doing when attempting to use a beach spray. This is what I did and what worked beautifully for my middle-of-my-back, fine, wavy hair. Out of the shower I applied a curl cream (I used MoroccanOil curl cream) and scrunched hair as usual. Then once 90% dry, I sprayed some of this beach spray all over in sections and then braided my hair in a regular braid. Slept on it. Woke up and undid the braid.. sprayed more beach spray all over and used my curling wand to fix flat pieces and curl the ends. My hair has never looked more beautifully wavy or "beachy". Wish I could add a photo.. got compliments all day. This is such a wonderful product with texture and shine! And smells wonderful like all Oribe products :)4
Amazing product, I've tried other brands (I'm a fan of Beach Wavy hair!) but Oribe Apres Beach is my favorite. It's a must have product for me- very easy to use and waves look very natural. Can be used on dry or wet hair, I usually apply it on wet hair and let it air dry.5
