Nvidia revs up game notebooks

Nvidia sees double in Dell boxAugust 8, 2005
The company's SLI (scalable link interface) technology now allows PC users to put up to four graphics processors in their desktop PCs to handle the most demanding high-definition video and games, Nvidia announced at the CeBit technology fair in Hannover, Germany. PC makers such as Dell, which previewed a Quad SLI system at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, and others like Alienware, Voodoo and Falcon Northwest can now offer the technology to their customers.
However, like most PC users, gamers are increasingly using notebooks as their primary systems. They'll also now be able to take advantage of multiple graphics processors with support for two GeForce Go 7800 GTX processors in Nvidia's nForce4 SLI chipset. Sager, Alienware, Velocity Micro and Voodoo announced notebooks with the technology at CeBit.
Nvidia also pressed onward with new standalone graphics processors for add-in graphics cards. The GeForce 7900 GTX, 7900 GT and 7600 GT represent the new high end of Nvidia's graphics technology, and cards featuring the chips will be available soon. (Click here for a CNET review of the GeForce 7900 GTX.)
Meanwhile, consumers who aren't looking to play a lot of games can get by with basic graphics technology integrated into a PC's chipset. That basic performance got a boost this week with Nvidia's new integrated graphics chipset for Advanced Micro Devices' Turion notebook processors that can play high-definition video.

Treasuries Snap Gain Before Reports on U.S. Services, Emp
March 5 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries snapped a gain before a private report that analysts said will show the U.S. services industry, which makes up almost 90 percent of the economy, grew at almost the fastest pace in a year.
Treasuries have "considerable risk," a report by Charles Schwab Corp. said. Analysts raised their year-end forecast for 10-year rates by four basis points last week to 2.52 percent, according to responses from banks and securities companies surveyed by Bloomberg, with the most recent forecasts given the heaviest weightings. It was the largest increase since Bloomberg began compiling the predictions in July 2011
"The U.S. economy is expanding," said Hiroki Shimazu, an economist in Tokyo at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., a unit of Japan's third-largest publicly traded bank by assets. "I don't recommend longer-term U.S. Treasuries. I recommend riskier assets like equities and commodities."
U.S. 10-year yields held at 1.98 percent at 8:19 a.m. London time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 2 percent security due February 2022 changed hands at 100 6/32. The yield fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage points, on March 2.
The Institute for Supply Management's U.S. non-manufacturing index was probably 56.2 in February, versus 56.8 the month before, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts before the report today. The January figure was the most since February 2011.
Employment Report
Employers probably added more than 200,000 workers for a third month in February, a separate survey showed before the Labor Department reports payroll data March 9. China pared its economic growth target to 7.5 percent from an 8 percent goal in place since 2005, Premier Wen Jiabao said in a speech today.
U.S. government securities have handed investors a 0.5 percent loss in the past month as of March 2, based on Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
The MSCI All Country World Index of stocks returned 3.4 in the period. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities gained 7.1 percent.
"There's considerable risk in long-term bonds, particularly Treasuries if and when rates rise," Schwab, which is based in San Francisco and manages $199 billion, said in a report on its website March 2. "We don't like them right now," according to the note by Rob Williams, the director of income planning, and Kathy A. Jones, a fixed-income strategist.
Euro Debt Crisis
Nomura Securities International Inc., one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the Federal Reserve, has a "medium-term target" of 2.40 percent for 10-year U.S. yields.
"Investors are likely to refocus on the resilient economic fundamentals of the U.S.," according to a report last week by George Goncalves and Marcus Phua in New York.
Treasuries gained on March 2 on concern measures to increase lending in the euro region won't be enough to boost economic growth, spurring demand for the safest assets.
The European Central Bank last week lent banks 529.5 billion euros ($698 billion) for three years. The European Union faces a test in its attempt to stem the euro region's two-year debt crisis when Greece's private creditors decide this week whether to sign off on the biggest sovereign-debt restructuring in history.
Demand for the relative safety of Treasuries is keeping the 10-year yield within about 32 basis points of the record low. It is about 1.90 percentage points less than the average over the past decade.
International Demand
Investors from outside the U.S. increased holdings of the nation's government debt by $1.84 trillion to $5 trillion since the Fed began its first round of Treasury purchases in May 2009. Foreigners hold 60.5 percent of the securities not held by the central bank, government data show.
"There are buyers that lurk everywhere," said William O'Donnell, head U.S. government bond strategist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, another primary dealer, said in a telephone interview Feb. 29. "There's plenty of cash out there that would love to get its hands on quality assets at a reasonable rate. The problem is, there's not enough high-quality liquid bonds."
German 10-year bunds are also benefiting from the flight to safety. The yield is about 18 basis points less than same-maturity Treasuries, the biggest difference since November.
The Fed is in the process of replacing $400 billion of shorter-maturity Treasuries in its holdings with longer-term debt to cap long-term borrowing costs under a program scheduled to end in June. The central bank plans to sell as much as $1.5 billion of debt due from July to January 2015 today, according to the Fed Bank of New York website.
Investors stuck to their bearish stance on Treasuries in a weekly survey by Ried Thunberg ICAP, a unit of the world's largest interdealer broker. Ried's index on the outlook through June rose to 44 for the seven days ended March 2 from 43 the week before. A figure below 50 shows investors expect U.S. government debt prices to decline.

DALLAS - WFAA wraps up our profiles of the candidates for Dallas mayor by looking at Edward Okpa.
The 51-year-old is a naturalized U.S. citizen having emigrated from Nigeria in 1985. He's a married father of two teenagers and makes a living in real estate.
Okpa doesn't support a tax rate increase. He says economic development depends on improving neighborhoods, and he would support southern sector development with city financial incentives.
Okpa tries to improve his name identification as a candidate on two wheels. Wearing a campaign T-shirt, he cycles several times a week.
It's the way he says he's rolling up support in the mayor's race.
People feel that I know the issues, he said. People feel that I am capable of making a difference.
With the city dealing with another budget gap of tens of millions of dollars, Okpa turns to an area with which he's familiar, real estate, and says the city should sell excess property to raise money and consolidate operations.
If the City of Dallas can relieve itself of selling real estate that they have, we'll have about $120 million to use for streets, he said.
Running for mayor is a road he's gone down before. In 2003, he got two percent of the vote. And, in 2007, Okpa received less than one percent, just 429 votes.
Undaunted, he said he wants to serve.
I don't think America is about 'do it one time, if you don't make it don't do it again,' he said.
Okpa's hoping voters don't put the brakes on him the third time around.

7 'Secrets' to Jumpstart Your Job Interview
If you're serious about getting the job you want, you must play an active part in jumpstarting the interview. The following seven secret strategies will help you do that.
The interviewer asks: Why has it taken you so long to find a job?
Its difficult to believe that employers are still asking this type of question. Dont they read the newspapers or listen to the news? If they were informed, they would know the answer; i.e. jobs are very scarce and difficult to find these days, and unemployment is still high, despite improvements in the economic picture.

Mélat x Jansport J - Golden
Artist: Mélat
Featuring: Jansport J
Producer: Jansport J
Album: Move Me EP
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 7 votes )
While a WoodysProduce-helmed remix of Canon Ourania inclusion Daphne hit our front page at the top of January, reader-approved alt-R&B buzzmaker Mélat's last original feature came back in December. Today, she somewhat belatedly rings in the new year with Golden, a brand new promo cut created in collaboration with producer Jansport J. While this record's smooth, relaxed vibe and romantic themes will be familiar to fans of the singer, it lacks the spacey, ethereal feel of many of her previous singles. Instead, it has a more down-to-earth, comfortable feel, thanks to Jansport's beat, which is built around scatted vocals and a leisurely rhythm section. Like what you're hearing? Then stay tuned. Neither Mélat nor Jansport have unveiled details on any forthcoming projects, but we'll keep you posted on both collaborators' plans as further details emerge.

With so many new players on her squad, Liberty girls tennis coach Stephanie Ollivier wasn't sure what to expect for the Patriots' first match of the season Thursday against Bakersfield Christian.
As it turned out the newcomers showed well in their debut, combining with Liberty's few remaining stalwarts to blow out the perennially tough Eagles 11-1 in a non-league match at BCHS.
"Some of these girls, I've never seen them play a match so I'm seeing what I got out here today," Ollivier said. "...I learned that we've got a lot of potential. We've got a lot of good athletes out there. A lot to work with. So I'm excited."
Patriots' returning No. 1 player Isabella Busacca combined with her sister Sophia Busacca plus Paige Basconcillo and Kelsey Owens to give Liberty six wins as each won in singles and doubles.
BCHS, winner of eight straight Central Section championships (the past two coming in Division IV after six in D-V), got its only victory in doubles as Brittany Aguilar and Krysten Kaing beat defeat Jayne Morris and Brianna Bush 6-4, 7-6, (9-7).
Isabella Busacca said she started feeling ill halfway through her match against Tara Miller but still managed to win 6-0, 6-1.
The Liberty junior, feeling the effects of the August heat, drank a bunch of liquids prior to joining forces with her sister to beat Miller and Liza Onead 6-2, 6-0 and seal the team win.
Last year the Patriots beat BCHS 8-4 when the two teams met early in the season.
BCHS, which lost 6-3 to Tehachapi on Tuesday, has just three players back from its 20-7 team of last year.
"Looking at this match today we just have a long way to go," longtime BCHS coach Frank Thiessen said. "There are some bright spots and we will be there when league comes along and when the valley playoffs begin."
Despite her lopsided singles win, Isabella Busacca wasn't happy with the way she played against Miller.
"I felt as though I was dehydrated and just overheated from the court," Busacca said.
"And so I wasn't playing too well and it really showed up in my game as I had really lazy feet. Then I wasn't hitting the ball very hard and then with my natural stroke. I was just kind of not thinking about my game as much as I should have."

Roaccutance Breakout After 6 Weeks of Use?

Roaccutane flare after 6 weeks
A typical course of Roaccutane is 5 months. It can take 3 to 4 months to have full control so do not be discouraged. Make sure you visit your dermatologist monthly for assessment and blood tests.

Capitol Hill Blue has published a story revealing that "Key White House Records in Plame Probe Disappear."
It appears that incompetencies within government systems as well as errors in implementing procedures keep working together for the convenience of members of a secret cabal within this administration. This time, e-mails for a certain time in 2003 -- a time crucial to the investigation of the Plame leak -- were not archived.
This reminds me of a certain 18 minute gap on the tapes of the Nixon Whitehouse.
The solution, I think, is obvious. The National Security Agency must have records of all the e-mail and other communications that came and went from the White House at that time. The President admits to authorizing the agency to indiscriminately monitor and archive every domestic source of communications that contacted people overseas.
Outing a covert CIA operative is a crime that is tantamount to treason. It certainly is a matter of National Security which is the primary mission of the NSA. Perhaps the prosecutor investigating the outing of Valerie Plame and the lawyers for Scooter Libby's defense should send their subpoena's to the NSA.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly named their daughter Kaidence Donda.
There goes our hope for calling her Nat, then.
According to a nurse from the hospital where Kim gave birth, the couple called the baby Kaidence, sticking with the Kardashian tradition of naming female members of the family with a 'K'.
Middle name Donda is thought to be in tribute to Kanye's late mother.
According to the unnamed medial professional, Kim mentioned the name Kaidence 'several times' in the delivery room, shunning speculation that the couple were to call the child Kai Georgia Donda.
It has also been revealed that the couple allowed for the birth to be filmed.
However, the footage is strictly for family members only and will not feature in the hit reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
A source told RadarOnline: "Kim was extremely upset because she wasn't due for another month.
"She was in pain and didn't know what was happening. The camera crew from 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' had been with her all week.
"Kim was taken to Cedars [the hospital], and cameras followed her there. The camera crew did attempt to accompany Kim into the hospital.
"When Kanye arrived, he told them to get lost, which they did. Kanye didn't want this precious moment to be documented for TV.
"Kim's momager, Kris Jenner, who was in the delivery room, filmed portions of it for family viewing only. Kanye told Kris when she could film."
Kim's sister Kourtney previously allowed for footage of both of her children, Mason, three, and Penelope, 11 months, being born, that was captured on home video cameras, to be used for reality TV specials.

"34 Years Old, 2 C-sections, Raisin..."
My motivation surges came every time I worked out and I had to tuck my skin back into my pants.

Advocates for the poor would protest. The disability program "isn't in crisis," says the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a well-known liberal think tank. Presidents Carter and Reagan tried to tighten eligibility. They failed. Indeed, the backlash against Reagan's effort led Congress to relax the rules in the ways that now expand awards. High unemployment worsens the timing.
Lawyers would also resist big changes. The Social Security Administration initially rejects about two-thirds of applications, but about half of these are appealed by lawyers and other professional advocates before administrative law judges, where the approval rate is between 60 percent and 75 percent.
The larger budget quagmire now comes into focus. What the federal government does is so vast that it suffocates informed debate and political control. The built-in bias for the status quo reflects the reality that the various parts of government are understood, defended and changed mainly by those who benefit from their existence. However strong the case for revision (and it is powerful here), it is tempered by political inertia. What's sacrificed is the broader public good. The quagmire is of our own making.

This invention relates generally to an acoustical web. It is more particularly useful in the transportation industry, e.g. for use in vehicles, farm equipment, airplanes and trains. It can also be used in appliances and in architectural applications. The invention also relates to the process of making such acoustical webs.
In recent years, noise problems have become very prevalent and difficult to overcome within office buildings, vehicles, appliances and ventilation duct work. Acoustical insulation is a requirement in many areas, e.g. vehicle doors, office paneling, appliances, etc.
The acoustical insulation normally absorbs the incoming sound waves and, to a certain extent, it reflects the sound waves striking the pad away from the insulated article. The choice of sound insulating materials includes felts, foams, compressed fibers, rock wool and recycled textile fibers mat.
In addition to having good sound absorption efficiencies, automotive acoustical insulators should be as light as possible so as not to contribute to the overall weight of the vehicle. Modern vehicle doors, which are made to be aerodynamically efficient, require thin, light, low cost and effective acoustical insulators. Consumers are demanding more and more quiet cars for the 1990's.
The new trend is towards hydrophobic, microfiber web for such applications. The choice of a particular sound insulating material for a given application is determined by not only acoustical characteristics, but the cost, weight, thickness, compression recovery and fire retardancy. There are several patents, e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 4,469,732 (Isaksen) which disclose a water deflector in a door panel construction. U.S. Pat. No. 5,298,694 (Thompson) describes a microfiber mat using melt-blown, solution-blown and cross-lapped needle punched fine denier fiber mat for such applications. The drawback to such processes is that the cost of the materials is very high due to the high energy costs and initial capital investment required for carrying out these processes.
For the foregoing reasons, there is a need for an improved, low cost and low density acoustical material.
The present invention relates to the manufacture and use of nonwoven acoustical insulation webs for use in vehicles, airplanes, trains, appliances, sound reproduction systems and architectural applications.
There are three basic areas to examine when confronting noise problems: noise source, noise path and noise receiver. Since noise radiates from a source, it is easier to choose machinery that is quiet to begin with. But often the machinery or process can't be quieted. Adding acoustical materials to noise generating surfaces may help reduce the noise. The materials used may be sound absorbing, sound blocking or damping.
Noise is transmitted via sound waves through the space that separates the source from the receiver. Changing the path of this transmission to reduce the acoustical energy that reaches the receiver is effective noise control. This means impeding the sound transmission by interfering with reflected and direct paths.
Reflected noise paths can be reduced by adding sound absorbing panels to walls or car doors, dishwasher doors, etc. There are three types of noise control materials available to help solve noise problems:
1. Noise barriers are used to block the noise. These do not absorb, dissipate or deaden noise. The essential physical characteristic is mass.
2. Noise absorbers dissipate noise since they do not block or reflect noise. The essential physical characteristic of a noise absorber is an open fibrous or cellular structure. Lower density and finer fibers will provide excellent sound absorbing capabilities. The resulting mechanical movement of the strands dissipates the energy which is released as heat.
3. Damping materials are used to reduce radiated noise. A viscous elastic material is applied directly to the surface of the vibrating structure and converts the vibrational energy to heat. The flexing of the damping material provides the energy dissipation to reduce noise.
The principal acoustical measure of sound absorbing materials is the sound absorption coefficient. It is measured using the ASTM E1050 Dual Microphone Impedance Tube Method and, when multiplied by 100, is a percentage measure of the material's ability to absorb sound. The value most frequently stated as noise reduction coefficient (NRC).
The present invention relates to acoustic webs comprising layers of cellulose fibers (pulp fiber with fiber dia range aspect ratio), particularly bleached wood pulp having longer fibers, bonded with a starch or latex binder.
The acoustical web may comprise layers of 100% bleached wood pulp blended with a low formaldehyde latex resin. It can be treated with fire retardant, mildew inhibitors and water repellents during the sandwich construction. The layers are suitably sprayed with waterproofing and fire retardant chemicals before drying. Drying is suitably accomplished by passing through an oven or a series of infrared heaters. In another embodiment, the cellulose fiber may comprise about 95% to about 80% by weight wood pulp fiber and about 5% to about 20% synthetic fiber. Any conventional synthetic fiber may be included.
Alternatively, the acoustical web may be made by bonding of either Rando air-laid pulp fibers or three to four layers of all cellulose bleached pulp roll goods. The bonding is accomplished by passing the layers through a saturator containing starch or a latex based binder. Waterproofing and fire retardant chemicals may be applied at the same time, if desired. After going through the saturator, the web goes through nip rolls, where the excess binder is squeezed out. The compressed web then goes through a dryer to remove the remaining moisture.
The web may contain a top layer of lightweight microfiber melt-blown web and a bottom layer of spunbond web to enhance water repellency and to improve product handleability and to improve acoustical properties. The web is preferably a lightweight, with the core of all cellulose fibers treated with fire retardants and mildew inhibitors. The laminate can suitably be applied to the inner panel of a vehicle door with a second layer of film or foil laminated thereto.
Off-spec or overrun cellulose roll goods are suitable for use in the present invention. They can be obtained from Merfin, Canada; Kimberly-Clark; or Scott Paper Co. The roll goods of these cellulose fibers can suitably be mounted on three to four unwind stands, depending upon the application and the final thickness and the desired acoustical properties. Each layer of material is treated with a binder, such as starch, latex or thermoplastic powder, and may also be treated with a water repellent, a mildew inhibitor and a fire retardant. A top layer of lightweight melt-blown or spunbond synthetic fibers can also be included. The layers are pressed to bond them together and squeeze out excess binder. They are then dried, suitably by a flowthrough dryer or a bank of infrared heaters.
Another aspect of the present invention is to laminate polyfilm, foil or paper onto the cellulose web to prevent sound and water from entering a vehicle interior.
A further aspect to this invention is to prepare the web by air-laying the ground-up pulp fibers via a Rando-type air lay machine, applying top and bottom layers of either cellu-tissue (paper), melt-blown or spunbond, passing the composite product through a binder saturator and then drying. Thermoplastic synthetic fibers can be blended with the cellulose pulp fibers to improve loft, reduce dusting and increase resiliency of the composite product.
The present invention relates to a method of making a layered acoustical nonwoven web to use in noise reduction applications. The layered acoustical nonwoven web can be composed of all cellulose core material with a facing of lightweight melt-blown polypropylene (2-4 oz/sq.yd), spunbond polypropylene (0.5-1.00 oz/sq.yd), carded polyester-rayon nonwoven fabric with water repellency treatment, foil or film such as thermoplastic film.
The cellulose web may be formed by typical paper making processes, such as the air-laid process. The fibers are bonded, suitably with a latex or starch binder. A Rando-type air-laid machine can also be used, after which the web is passed through a saturator, squeezed between nip rolls, and then dried. The roll goods are suitably bought as off-spec, overruns or virgin rolls for further treatment and bonding. Typical paper roll goods made out of bleached fibers have a fiber diameter of about 25 microns to about 35 microns.
A suitable starch binder formulation consists of Thin Boiling Starch 250B ADM with a binder solids of 4 to 11%. A non-ionic water repellent at 1-2%, suitably Amguard XP-122167-A, supplied by American Emulsions, Dalton, Ga.; a wax emulsion at 1-2%, such as WW-1971-D from H. B. Fuller, Vadnais Height, Minn.; an antibacterial at 0.05%, such as Dearcide CL-2150 from Chemtreat, Inc., Richmond, Va. or Novo Nordisk BAN 120L, Danbury, Conn.; a fire retardant inorganic salt like ammonium sulfate; boric acid; or a mixture of borate at 4-7% can be sprayed on each layer. The layers are lightly compressed to maintain the original thickness of the paper rolls. The pressed layered product is then passed through a dryer.
A typical latex binder formulation includes vinyl acetate monomer, such as PD-0062 from H. B. Fuller, or carboxylated styrene-acrylic copolymer, such as PD-0410 or 0400 from H. B. Fuller. A proprietary synthetic resin, XR1960 M from H. B. Fuller with a latex solids range from 7-14%, can also be used. Fire retardant and water repellent chemicals can also be added.
The weight of each layer of paper (ply) can vary from about 45 to about 105 g/sq.yd. The final weight of the finish layered web will suitably be about 250-1050 grams/sq.yd depending upon desired end use. A preferred acoustical layered product will weigh about 300-400 grams/sq.yd without water deflector film. The thickness can suitably vary from 0.20 to 0.75 inches. The layers can also be laminated with sound barrier materials like Keldax-DuPont (EVA with 70% filled inert materials from DuPont) or regrind PVC filled with silica.
These and other aspects of the present invention may be more fully understood with reference to the figures wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a suitable apparatus for laying up consecutive layers of materials according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows a suitable process for air-laying fibers in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 shows a suitable finished product in accordance with the present invention;
FIGS. 4 and 5 show the sound absorption rates of the present inventions.
Referring first to FIG. 1, there are a series 10, 12, 14, 16 of rolls of material, preferably cellulose fiber. There can be anywhere from two to five rolls of material, but preferably three or four are used. Binder spray nozzles 18, 20, 22 apply spray between successive layers of the web. It will be appreciated that the number of binder spray nozzles will always be one less than the number of rolls of cellulose material. After the binder is applied, the bonded layers pass through a dryer 24. Thereafter, one or more additional layers of material may be applied. The additional layers may be adhesively bonded by means of adhesive applicators 23 and 25. Top layer 26 is suitably melt-blown or spunbond thermoplastic fiber such as polypropylene. Bottom layer 28 can suitably be film, foil, paper or spunbond thermoplastic fibers. The composite laminate passes through a pair of nip rolls 30, after which it is wound onto a wind-up roll 32.
It will be appreciated that various chemicals, such as fire retardants, mildew inhibitors, water repellents and the like, can be included in one or more of the binder solutions supplied by binder spray nozzles 18, 20 and 22.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a mat is air-laid in conventional manner in machine 34, suitably a Rando machine. One or more layers of cellulose mat are then applied from roll 36. The composite structure is passed through a saturator 38 by means of guide rolls 40. The structure contains a starch or latex based binder and may also contain additional chemicals such as fire retardants, water repellents and mildew inhibitors. The structured product passes through nip rolls 42, after which it goes through a dryer 44. The dryer can be an oven or a series of infrared heaters. As with FIG. 1, both top 46 and bottom 48 layers can be applied and, as with FIG. 1, adhesive applicators 50, 52 can be used for any added layers. Thereafter, as in FIG. 1, the laminate passes through nip rolls 54 and onto winder 56.
In FIG. 3 there is shown a product made in accordance with the present invention. It comprises a series of layers 58 of cellulose fiber with a top layer 60 and a bottom layer 62 adhered thereto.
The nonwoven acoustical insulation web discussed above can further comprise a top and bottom layer laminated thereto on the front end as shown in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a laminate in FIG. 3 with number of layers of cellulose fibers will vary from 2-5.
The layered product with or without film or barrier material can then be die-cut to shape. To allow the layered product to be attached to the door or any surface, the film further can be treated with a layer of adhesive to selected areas or Velcro-type attachment on the film side will help to install such material on different surfaces.
In Examples 1-4, webs were prepared using starch binder with 6 mil. (150 microns) polyethylene film on one side. The sound absorption tested according to ASTM E-1050 using a Bruel & Kjaer, Model #4206, Two-microphone Impedance Measurement Tube to measure normal incidence sound absorption coefficient (alpha). The method as per ASTM E1050 uses a tube, two microphones and a Digital Frequency Analysis System. Table 1 reports the data for a 100 mm tube while Table 2 reports the data for a 29 mm tube.
The normal incidence sound wave facing the film for Examples 1-3 and facing the melt-blown for Example 4. The polyfilm lamination takes place using hot melt adhesive laminator.
The test results show the higher absorption of sound with increase in the number of layers of cellulose fibers. The sound absorption values at each frequency are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 and represent an average of two data points. These values are also shown in graph form in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively, in which the data for each of Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 are represented by corresponding lines 1, 2, 3 and 4.

I just replace my 420 watt power supply with a Thermaltake Black Widow pc gaming 850 watt power supply.
I am running a quad core processor 2327 mhz with an nvidia 8600 gts graphics card. My system does seem to be running faster. Is it me or do you think more wattage can have that effect on a puter?
Umm, as far as I'm aware that's something limited to laptops capable of power management. I don't believe desktops are built with any form of power management considering they're always plugged in.
More than likely, it's all in your head.
If you're absolutely certain though, you could go back to the old PSU and do some benchmarking, then do the same benchmarking with the new PSU .
If a microprocessor dose not have the juice it needs it will not start… and the 420 w is okey for that videocard and processor so no problems there

Any organization's success depends upon the voluntary cooperation of its members. But what motivates people to cooperate? In Why People Cooperate, Tom Tyler challenges the decades-old notion that individuals within groups are primarily motivated by their self-interest. Instead, he demonstrates that human behaviors are influenced by shared attitudes, values, and identities that reflect social connections rather than material interests.
Tyler examines employee cooperation in work organizations, resident cooperation with legal authorities responsible for social order in neighborhoods, and citizen cooperation with governmental authorities in political communities. He demonstrates that the main factors for achieving cooperation are socially driven, rather than instrumentally based on incentives or sanctions. Because of this, social motivations are critical when authorities attempt to secure voluntary cooperation from group members. Tyler also explains that two related aspects of group practices--the use of fair procedures when exercising authority and the belief by group members that authorities are benevolent and sincere--are crucial to the development of the attitudes, values, and identities that underlie cooperation.
With widespread implications for the management of organizations, community regulation, and governance, Why People Cooperate illustrates the vital role that voluntary cooperation plays in the long-standing viability of groups.

Stalin's massive impact on Soviet history is often explained in terms of his inherent evil, personality defects, and power lust. This volume argues that Stalin's thoughts and actions are best contextualized in the inter-relationship between war and revolution in the first half of the twentieth century. Kevin McDermott incorporates recently declassified materials from the former Soviet Party archives and provides a critical review of western and Russian historiography.

Dr. Blackwell focuses his research toward understanding and exploiting animal sensory ecology and antipredator behavior relative to human-wildlife interactions. He works primarily in the area of aviation safety, but is also interested in applications of sensory ecology and animal behavior within the broader discipline of road ecology and animal detection of and response to various forms of human disturbance.

Two double-decker tour buses collided in New York City's fabled Times Square on Tuesday, injuring 14 people, authorities said.
The accident occurred a little after 3 pm (1900 GMT) at the famous intersection of West 47th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, an area of dizzying skyscrapers, theatres, flashy billboards, and teeming with tourists near the TKTS discount Broadway ticket booth.
Those hurt included at least three passengers and 11 pedestrians, a fire department spokesman said, adding that three people received serious but not life-threatening injuries. A stretch of Seventh Avenue was shut down for hours.
Witnesses said a Gray Line tour bus rolled into the area at a high speed. A fire department spokesman said the bus then collided with another bus.
A yellow traffic light also toppled, its metal pole lying on a pedestrian strip. The spokesman declined to give other details pending an investigation.

A question for nVidia card owners with Chrome.
View Single Post
Registered User
Join Date: Feb 2004
Posts: 29
I posted this on a Chrome-oriented forum.
Considering that the first post there has only gotten three views since it was posted a week ago I think my efforts went to somewhat of a waste.
Here is my copy and paste from that post.
The Chrome installation includes a multitude of .png (Portable Network Graphics) files, which I could only assume is for High Quality Textures.
Well, I was wondering why I was unable to select 'High' in the options menu.
It did, after all say in the VideoSettings.scr (to open this you must change the extension to it and use Wordpad, as Windows recongizes '.scr' as a screensaver file and will not let you modify it otherwise. I remove the 'r' to make it a simple '.sc' file that I right click and open with Wordpad) that High was available.
So, being the curious guy that I am I modified one of the .png files to see if normal settings used these nice looking textures.
The one I chose was Carrie's hair.
I used Irfanview to modify it.
Step 1: Copy it, and rename the copy to carriehairorig.png. This is the file to work with, and when saved, I overwrote the real original.
Step 2: Modify the colors. In this case, I swapped them.
Step 3: Save the file as carriehair.png
(image does not show this..
So I start the game up hoping to see Carrie's full head of blue hair.
No such luck. Still blond.
As disappointing as this is, I attempt to go into the world of modifying files to get things the way I want.
So I typed 'High' in the tex quality portion of the .scr file.
I started the game and lo and behold Carrie had blue hair.
So what this tells me, is that Techland for some reason or other has disabled the ability to select 'High' for texture quality settings, making all those 190 megs worth of .png files go completely to waste unless a user takes it upon themself to change it in the VideoSettings.scr file.
Why they did this, we'll probably never know.
So far, however.. I've taken a few comparison screenshots with Normal and High settings and haven't found a difference between the two. I also did not experience a performance loss of any kind with high from normal.
That info is there for anyone that wants to use it.

Are these speakers capable of entertaining a small crowd for when I have BBQs? Can their bass be compared to Bose Companion 5 speakers?
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
I just got these and they are absolutely phenomenal. To answer your question here is a review from March: Best Computer Speakers Period!!
Written by JY from Los Angeles Mar 30, 2010
I had been using the Companion 5's for two years before the MM-1's. I never thought I would find a computer speaker that would make my $400 Bose speakers pale in comparison.
Initial Impressions:
- The soundstage produced is amazing. It was like the 2D sound created by the Bose suddenly became 3D on the MM-1's.
- Because it lacks a subwoofer, the bass is not as powerful as the Companion 5's. This is not to say that it lacks bass. I found the overall sound much more balanced and detailed. It made the Bose sound like the heavy bass was just covering up the inadequate mids and highs.
- The speakers really shine at higher volumes with more pronounced bass.
- Gorgeous design and impressive build quality. Much thought was put into the design like the cable management system on the bottom of the speakers.
I also want to compare these speakers to the Zeppelin Mini. I had been using the Mini as a computer speaker for five months and found it to be quite good. However, I felt that it lacked bass, even though it produced mids and highs much better than the Bose. It made me skeptical with the MM-1's bass, but I have found it much better than the Mini's.
At $500, I was not going to settle for a speaker that was just "amazing for its size." They had to be freaking good, period. These are also the best computer speakers I've ever heard and purchased. I recommend spending the extra $100 over the Companion 5's and do your music justice with the MM-1's.

Medical tests
are important tools, but they have limits. Informed consumers know medical
tests have costs and risks as well as benefits.
Use this medical test information form(What is a PDF document?) to help you.
If a test seems costly, risky, or not likely to change
the recommended treatment, ask your doctor if you can avoid it. Try to agree on
the best approach. No test can be done without your permission, and you have
the right to refuse a test.
If you agree to a test, ask what you can do to reduce
the chance of errors. Should you restrict food, alcohol, exercise, or medicines

Clean energy loan program director leaving Obama admin

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The head of the Energy Department's embattled clean energy loan program is leaving in what officials called a planned departure.
Jonathan Silver, who has headed the loan program since November 2009, is leaving to join a nonpartisan think tank.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement that Silver informed him in July he was leaving. A key section of the loan program expired on Friday. The program has come under fire from Republicans after a California solar energy company collapsed despite receiving a $528 million federal loan.
President Barack Obama defended the loan program Thursday, saying officials knew some companies that received government aid were likely to fail.
He said the process of awarding the loan to solar panel maker Solyndra was straightforward and based on merits.
