Think twice before selling that old Android phone

It seems that the factory reset for Android 4.3 and below is flawed, in that researchers were able to recover data from wiped phones. Two University of Cambridge scientists tested 21 phones from Samsung, HTC, Nexus and 2 other unspecifed vendors all running versions of Android ranging from 2.3 to 4.3 and were able to recover data from a supposedly wiped phone. They did not test newer versions and so are unsure if the problem has been rectified nor did Google respond to The Register when they inquired. The researchers had a success rate of 80% for recovering tokens for Google and Facebook and could even recover encryption keys, although the keys were still password protected they could be brute forced. Make sure to encrypt your phone with a long password before you wipe it and sell it, give it away or toss it out!
"Half a billion Android phones could have data recovered and Google accounts compromised thanks to flaws in the default wiping feature, University of Cambridge scientists Laurent Simon and Ross Anderson have claimed."

UPDATE: Did you miss our live stream yesterday? Sorry to hear that! But the good news is that you can still watch the showcase and hear the questions (and answers) on the LogitechG product line. Enjoy!
If you haven't looked up what LogitechG has done lately, you are missing out on some of the most interesting and innovative gaming accessories in the market. My reconnection with the Logitech brand started in July of last year when they sent over the G402 Hyperion Fury gaming mouse, a device with a pair of sensors capable of tracking speeds as high as 28.4 mph - seriously!
Since then the team has been releasing new products and updated software that shows a dedication and drive to the enthusiast and gaming markets. The company's Intelligent Illumination system, that allows game developers to change the colors and brightness of the G910 Orion Spark based on what is happening in the game. Is your health critical? Then maybe you want the keyboard lights to pulse bright red? Or maybe when you jump into a flying vehicle you would like to illuminate the appropriate control keys? All of this is possible.
Besides the cool technology they have to show off, the truth is that Chris, the LogitechG peripheral guru that will be joining me, knows almost everything about keyboards and mice and headsets (oh my!). If you have a question about a specific LogitechG product, or about mice and keyboard technologies in general, this is the guy to ask and the outlet to do it.
LogitechG Showcase, Q&A and Giveaway!!

Rumor: Intel Core i7-6700K (Skylake-S) Benchmarks Leaked
Subject: Processors | May 28, 2015 - 03:44 PM | Scott Michaud

For a while, it was unclear whether we would see Broadwell on the desktop. With the recently leaked benchmarks of the Intel Core i7-6700K, it seems all-but-certain that Intel will skip it and go straight to Skylake. Compared to Devil's Canyon, the Haswell-based Core i7-4790K, the Skylake-S Core i7-6700K has the same base clock (4.0 GHz) and same full-processor Turbo clock (4.2 GHz). Pretty much every improvement that you see is pure performance per clock (IPC).
Image Credit: CPU Monkey
In multi-threaded applications, the Core i7-6700K tends to get about a 9% increase while, when a single core is being loaded, it tends to get about a 4% increase. Part of this might be the slightly lower single-core Turbo clock, which is said to be 4.2 GHz instead of 4.4 GHz. There might also be some increased efficiency with HyperThreading or cache access -- I don't know -- but it would be interesting to see.
I should note that we know nothing about the GPU. In fact, CPU Monkey fails to list a GPU at all. Intel has expressed interest in bringing Iris Pro-class graphics to the high-end mainstream desktop processors. For someone who is interested in GPU compute, especially with Explicit Unlinked MultiAdapter in DirectX 12 upcoming, it would be nice to see GPUs be ubiquitous and always enabled. It is expected to have the new GT4e graphics with 72 compute units and either 64 or 128MB of eDRAM. If clocks are equivalent, this could translate well over a teraflop (~1.2 TFLOPs) of compute performance in addition to discrete graphics. In discrete graphics, that would be nearly equivalent to an NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti.
We are expecting to see the Core i7-6700K launch in Q3 of this year. We'll see.
Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Specifications Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 26, 2015 - 05:03 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumors, nvidia, leaks, GTX 980 Ti, gpu, gm200
Who doesn't love rumor and speculation about unreleased products? (Other than the manufacturers of such products, of course.) Today VideoCardz is reporting via HardwareBattle a GPUZ screenshot reportedly showing specs for an NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
Image credit: HardwareBattle via VideoCardz.com
First off, the HardwareBattle logo conveniently obscures the hardware ID (as well as ROP/TMU counts). What is visible is the 2816 shader count, which places it between the GTX 980 (2048) and TITAN X (3072). The 6 GB of GDDR5 memory has a 384-bit interface and 7 Gbps speed, so bandwidth should be the same 336 GB/s as the TITAN X. As far as core clocks on this GPU (which seems likely to be a cut-down GM200), they are identical to those of the TITAN X as well with 1000 MHz Base and 1076 MHz Boost clocks shown in the screenshot.

We await any official announcement, but from the frequency of the leaks it seems we won't have to wait too long.
Big Things, Small Packages
Sapphire isn't a brand we have covered in a while, so it is nice to see a new and interesting product drop on our door. Sapphire was a relative unknown until around the release of the Radeon 9700 Pro days. This was around the time when ATI decided that they did not want to be so vertically integrated, so allowed other companies to start buying their chips and making their own cards. This was done to provide a bit of stability for ATI pricing, as they didn't have to worry about a volatile component market that could cause their margins to plummet. By selling just the chips to partners, ATI could more adequately control margins on their own product while allowing their partners to make their own deals and component choices for the finished card.
ATI had very limited graphics card production of their own, so they often would farm out production to second sources. One of these sources ended up turning into Sapphire. When ATI finally allowed other partners to produce and brand their own ATI based products, Sapphire already had a leg up on the competition by being a large producer already of ATI products. They soon controlled a good portion of the marketplace by their contacts, pricing, and close relationship with ATI.
Since this time ATI has been bought up by AMD and they no longer produce any ATI branded cards. Going vertical when it come to producing their own chips and video cards was obviously a bad idea, we can look back at 3dfx and their attempt at vertical integration and how that ended for the company. AMD obviously produces an initial reference version of their cards and coolers, but allows their partners to sell the "sticker" version and then develop their own designs. This has worked very well for both NVIDIA and AMD, and it has allowed their partners to further differentiate their product from the competition.
Sapphire usually does a bang up job on packaging the graphics card. Oh look, a mousepad!
Sapphire is not as big of a player as they used to be, but they are still one of the primary partners of AMD. It would not surprise me in the least if they still produced the reference designs for AMD and then distributed those products to other partners. Sapphire is known for building a very good quality card and their cooling solutions have been well received as well. The company does have some stiff competition from the likes of Asus, MSI, and others for this particular market. Unlike those two particular companies, Sapphire obviously does not make any NVIDIA based boards. This has been a blessing and a curse, depending on what the cycle is looking like between AMD and NVIDIA and who has dominance in any particular marketplace.

Rumor: Entire Upcoming AMD Radeon 300-Series to Be Rebrands of Existing 200-Series?
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 26, 2015 - 05:29 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumors, leaks, Hawaii XT, Fiji, amd radeon
This sounds like disappointing news, but it might be a little misleading as well. First of all the report, another from the folks at VideoCardz, details information about these upcoming GPUs from a leaked driver.
Here's the list VideoCardz came up with (200-series name on the right):
- AMD6658.1 AMD Radeon(TM) R7 360 Graphics Bonaire XTX [Radeon R7 260X]
- AMD67B0.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Hawaii XT [Radeon R9 290X]
- AMD67B1.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Hawaii PRO [Radeon R9 290]
- AMD6810.1 AMD Radeon(TM) R7 370 Graphics Curacao XT [Radeon R9 270X]
- AMD6810.2 AMD Radeon (TM) R7 300 Series Curacao XT [Radeon R9 270X]
- AMD6811.1 AMD Radeon (TM) R7 300 Series Curacao PRO [Radeon R9 270/370]
- AMD6939.1 AMD Radeon R9 300 Series Tonga PRO [Radeon R9 285]
VideoCardz further comments on this list:
"FIJI was not included in this driver release. Radeon R9 Hawaii is neither shown as R9 380 nor as R9 390. Right now it's just R9 300, just like R9 285-rebrand. Both Hawaii cards will get a small bump in clock speeds and most importantly 8GB memory."
And this is where the news might be misleading, as the "300-series" naming may very well not include a new GPU due to AMD shifting to a new scheme for their upcoming flagship, just as NVIDIA has used the "TITAN" and "TITAN X" names for flagship cards. If the rumored AMD Fiji card (which was recently pictured) is the all-new GPU featuring HBM memory that we've all been waiting for, expect iterations of this new card to follow as the technology trickles down to the more affordable segment.
SHIELD Specifications
Announced just this past June at last year's Google I/O event, Android TV is a platform developed by Google, running Android 5.0 and higher, that aims to create an interactive experience for the TV. This platform can be built into a TV directly as well as into set-top style boxes, like the NVIDIA SHIELD we are looking at today. The idea is to bring the breadth of apps and content to the TV through the Android operating system in a way that is both convenient and intuitive.
NVIDIA announced SHIELD back in March at GDC as the first product to use the company's latest Tegra processor, the X1. This SoC combines an 8-core big.LITTLE ARM processor design with a 256-core implementation of the NVIDIA Maxwell GPU architecture, providing GPU performance previously unseen in an Android device. I have already spent some time with the NVIDIA SHIELD at various events and the promise was clearly there to make it a leading option for Android TV adoption, but obviously there were questions to be answered.
Today's article will focus on my early impressions with the NVIDIA SHIELD, having used it both in the office and at home for a handful of days. As you'll see during the discussion there are still some things to be ironed out, some functionality that needs to be added before SHIELD and Android TV can really be called a must-buy product. But I do think it will get there.
And though this review will focus on the NVIDIA SHIELD, it's impossible not to marry the success of SHIELD with the success of Google's Android TV. The dominant use case for SHIELD is as a media playback device, with the gaming functionality as a really cool side project for enthusiasts and gamers looking for another outlet. For SHIELD to succeed, Google needs to prove that Android TV can improve over other integrated smart TV platforms as well as other set-top box platforms like Boxee, Roku and even the upcoming Apple TV refresh.
But first, let's get an overview of the NVIDIA SHIELD device, pricing and specifications, before diving into my experiences with the platform as a whole.

Introduction: Improving Portable Sound
The Calyx PaT is very small USB DAC and headphone amp that can be used with PCs and mobile devices, offering the possibility of better sound from just about any digital source. So how does it sound? Let's find out!
The PaT is a very interesting little device, to be sure. It rather resembles a large domino and weighs less than 1 ounce thanks to an ultra-light aluminum construction. It requires no battery or power source other than its micro USB connection, yet it provides sufficient power (0.8 V output) for in-ear monitors and efficient headphones through its 3.5mm headphone jack. Inside is a proprietary mix of DAC and amplifier circuitry, and like other products produced by Calyx, a Korean company with little presence in the United States, there is the promise of a dedication to great sound. Did Calyx pull it off with the diminutive PaT?
Improving Portable Sound
Outboard DACs and headphone amplifiers for computers and mobile devices are nothing new, with recent products like AudioQuest's Dragonfly a prime example in the portable USB DAC market (though it offers no mobile support). When I first heard about the PaT during CES it was still in the prototype stage, but I was interested because of the Calyx name if nothing else, as I already owned the Calyx M DAP and had been quite honestly blown away by the sound.
So what need might I have for the interestingly-named PaT (pronounced "paat", meaning "bean" in reference to the small size), which is itself a DAC that requires another device to play music files? It wasn't until I had the opportunity to speak with Calyx president Seungmok Yi during CES (via video chat as I couldn't attend the show) that I started realize that this could be a compelling product, not just for the $99 price tag - a bargain for an audiophile product - but because of how versatile the PaT can be. You don't have to identify as an "audiophile" to appreciate the clearer and more detailed sound of a good DAC, especially when so many of us simply haven't heard one (especially on mobile devices).

A leak of Logitech's new wheel for gamers has shown up, designed to be compatible with the PS4 but also of interest to PC gamers who have picked up one or more of the recently released driving games. It looks to be based on the Driving Force GT and in the leaked pictures is a box for a shifter which could be good news for those who already own Logitech pedals and shifters as the are likely compatible with the new wheel. If your steering wheel is getting a bit beat up hold off on picking up a new one as the G29 could be out very soon.
Speaking of Logitech, don't forget to tune in on May 27th at 3pm ET / 12pm PT for a chance to learn about their new products and win a whole bunch of hardware, and use the form on this post for a chance to win a LogitechG G402 Mouse + G440 Mouse Pad every day until the live stream!
"The pictures first surfaced on Maxconsole.com, along with a copy of a certificate of approval, written in what appears to be Russian. There's nothing to determine a launch date for the G29, but sometime during 2015 would be a reasonable expectation – people, including myself, have been vexing for a decent yet affordable setup for the Playstation 4 for some time now."

One last look at GTAV graphics settings

Tagged: gaming, GTAV, VLAN party
[H]ard|OCP is concluding their series on GTA V graphical settings with a look at various anti-aliasing technologies and shadowing options. Their testing shows that TXAA has a much greater effect on textures than FXAA but that change is not necessarily a good thing for your textures. MSAA is not only less than effective in the game but also comes with a performance hit that makes it a rather unattractive option except in certain situations. They also cover AMD CHS and NVIDIA PCSS soft shadow technologies and the visual effects that high resolution shadows provide. If you are still tweaking your GTA V settings then head over to check the review out.
Make sure to head over to the Gaming forum if you haven't already as this Saturday May 30, starting at 10:00 AM ET it is the Fragging Frogs Virtual LAN party #10. You need to confirm your attendance in this thread if you want a shot at some of the many prizes being given out by AMD, Fractal Designs and maybe even other secret prizes. The thread also covers how to log into the TeamSpeak server as well as the gamut of games likely to be played; make sure you install any patches or mods before we kick off to maximize your gaming time.
"In our final look at Grand Theft Auto V we will look at image quality comparisons in this game. We will focus on the main graphics options that affect performance the most and we will get to the bottom of which soft shadow option is best to use. We will also find out if FXAA and TXAA affect texture quality."

Rumor: AMD To Name Upcoming Flagship Fiji GPU "Radeon Fury"
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 29, 2015 - 11:05 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumors, radeon, hbm, graphics, gpu, Fury, Fiji, amd
Another rumor has emerged about an upcoming GPU from AMD, and this time it's a possible name for the HBM-powered Fiji card a lot of us have been speculating about.
The rumor from VideoCardz via Expreview (have to love the multiple layers of reporting here) states the the new card will be named Radeon Fury:
"Radeon Fury would be AMD's response to growing popularity of TITAN series. It is yet unclear how AMD is planning to adopt Fury naming schema. Are we going to see Fury XT or Fury PRO? Well, let's just wait and see. This rumor also means that Radeon R9 390X will be a direct rebrand of R9 290X with 8GB memory."
Of course this is completely unsubstantiated, and Fury is a branding scheme from the ATI days, but who knows? I can only hope that if true, AMD will adopt all caps: TITAN! FURY! Feel the excitement. What do you think of this possible name for the upcoming AMD flagship GPU?
Checking out the high end model of the Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi
Subject: Mobile | May 25, 2015 - 01:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asus, transformer book, T300 Chi
The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi comes in a number of models, with the base mode running just under $700. The Tech Report had a chance to review the higher end model which is more expensive and harder to find. This particular model sports a 2.9GHz Broadwell based Core M 5Y71, 8GB DDR3-1600 and an internal 128GB internal SanDisk iSSD. The 12.5" IPS 2560x1440 screen is common to all models, as is WiFi connectivity and Windows 8.1, 64-bit. The keyboard portion of this Transformer Book is more of a screen stand than a dock as it uses Bluetooth to connect to the tablet as opposed to a physical interface, magnets keep the tablet in place when you are docked. Check out how well it performs in The Tech Report's full review.
"Asus' Transformer Book T300 Chi combines Intel's Core M processor with a 12.5" high-PPI display. The tablet half of this detachable 2-in-1 is thinner than the iPad Air, and it's backed by a keyboard dock that attaches with neodymium magnets. Read on to see what the T300 Chi is like as a tablet and notebook."

$170 for 16GB of very overclockable DDR4-2666
Subject: Memory | May 26, 2015 - 06:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ddr4-2666, G.Skill, Ripjaws 4
The price may still sting a bit but honestly, it is only about a small premium over many 16GB DDR3 kits so the pricing on DDR4 is getting much better. G.Skill's 16GB DDR4-2666 quad channel kit has timings of 15-15-15-35 and are fully XMP compliant so getting them out of the clamshell packaging may be the hardest step in installing them. Of course many readers here, just like at Bjorn3D, are not going to be satisfied with the default settings which brings us to the overclocking results. 3048MHz @ 16-16-16-37 was perfectly stable in their testing at 1.35V and for those who don't mind the long term effects of upping the voltage to 1.4V there is more headroom left.
"G.Skill has been churning out enthusiast memory that overclocks like nothing else we've ever seen. Pop a set of Ripjaws 4 into your dream machine and settle into the BIOS for an overclocking experience like you've never had!"

Rumor: Only Xeon-based Skylake CPUs Getting AVX-512
Subject: Processors | May 27, 2015 - 09:45 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: xeon, Skylake, Intel, Cannonlake, avx-512
AVX-512 is an instruction set that expands the CPU registers from 256-bit to 512-bit. It comes with a core specification, AVX-512 Foundation, and several extensions that can be added where it makes sense. For instance, AVX-512 Exponential and Reciprocal Instructions (ERI) help solve transcendental problems, which occur in geometry and are useful for GPU-style architectures. As such, it appears in Knights Landing but not anywhere else.
Image Credit: Bits and Chips
Today's rumor is that Skylake, the successor to Broadwell, will not include any AVX-512 support in its consumer parts. According to the lineup, Xeons based on Skylake will support AVX-512 Foundation, Conflict Detection Instructions, Vector Length Extensions, Byte and Word Instructions, and Double and Quadword Instructions. Fused Multiply and Add for 52-bit Integers and Vector Byte Manipulation Instructions will not arrive until Cannonlake shrinks everything down to 10nm.
The main advantage of larger registers is speed. When you can fit 512 bits of data in a memory bank and operate upon it at once, you are able to do several, linked calculations together. AVX-512 has the capability to operate on sixteen 32-bit values at the same time, which is obviously sixteen times the compute performance compared with doing just one at a time... if all sixteen undergo the same operation. This is especially useful for games, media, and other, vector-based workloads (like science).
This also makes me question whether the entire Cannonlake product stack will support AVX-512. While vectorization is a cheap way to get performance for suitable workloads, it does take up a large amount of transistors (wider memory, extra instructions, etc.). Hopefully Intel will be able to afford the cost with the next die shrink.
Hands-On with the Lenovo Magic View Dual-Screen Smartwatch Concept
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 28, 2015 - 02:04 AM | Ken Addison
Shortly after the keynote at Lenovo Tech World today,we got hands on with the Dual-Screen Smartwatch concept, the Magic View.
The Magic View is an Android Wear device, which integrates a unique "virtual interactive display" via a small prism on the watch band. Users must bring the device up to their face and look through the prism to see a secondary display for tasks such as video viewing.
Looking inside the Magic View reminded us a lot of Google Glass. As you put your eye up to the prism on the watch band, you could see what looked like a display off in the distance. It was difficult to determine the relative size, but Lenovo claims this display is 20x bigger than the display on the smartwatch itself. Resolution was also undetermined, but it seemed to be low and about on par with the original Google Glass units.
The device itself was a bit warm and the additional display unit added some bulk, but these weren't immediate deal breakers. The design was still ergonomic and seemed like something that you wouldn't have an issue wearing all-day long.
This is definitely an early concept, but the fact that Lenovo are showing off demo units here means that they are serious about the ideas presented in the Magic View. If additional development can solve some of the heat issues, it seems like this would be a feature that doesn't detract from the core use of the device and can provide a potentially value new interaction method.
New server chips from Intel on the way
Subject: General Tech | May 27, 2015 - 12:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Purley, Intel, Skylake, Cannonlake, Grantley, Romley, knights landing
The Register has obtained a slide describing the next families of Xeon processor to be released by Intel, the Purley platform which includes Skylake. There are some interesting new developments, including on die interface for either 10Gb/sec Ethernet or 100Gb/sec Omni-Path fabrics which interested the participants at the HPC conference the slides were shown at. They also mentioned a brand new memory architecture which is described as offering four times the capacity and 500 times the speed than current NAND, all at a lower price per chip which is likely to be somewhat of an exaggeration on their part. There were also new Phi chips, including the long awaited Knights Landing and workstation chips for use outside the server room.
"A presentation given at a conference on high-performance computing (HPC) in Poland earlier this month appears to have yielded new insight into Intel's Xeon server chip roadmap.
A set of slides spotted by our sister site The Platform indicates that Chipzilla is moving toward a new server platform called "Purley" that will debut in 2017 or later."

Fair or not? Company pays for bid protest legal fees
Friday - 4/22/2011, 3:23pm EDT
Federal agencies and contractors are no strangers to bid protests. But if you're the bidder, protests can be an expensive proposition.
A company called Livanta is stuck with legal fees after related to its bid for a contract with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Livanta protested the loss and lost the protest. The company asked the Government Accountability Office to make CMS pay its legal fees. GAO said no.
William Welch chairs the government contracts group at the General Counsel law firm and he tells us why.

They also discuss his retirement from the game, Albert Pujols' up-and-down season with the Angels, the Diamondbacks future, Bobby Valentine's disastrous season with the Red Sox and his new book: "One Last Strike." Among his observations: -- On a new perspective since retiring: "You sit upstairs and see how easy the game looks. You can see why things are questioned because I have been second-guessing everything I see." -- On the Diamondbacks future: "I think they're set up to be a major factor in the west for a lot of years because of their talent and because of the way they are lead from the front office to the ownership to the manager and coaches." -- On favorites to win the World Series: "If you get into October, you can win a short series.

"Reading Thinking in Systems evokes the wisdom and even the voice of Dana Meadows. We are reminded of how she was not only one of the great systems thinkers, but also one of our greatest teachers. This is modestly called a primer, and indeed it is, but unlike most books with that title, this one quickly takes one from the elementary into deep systems thinking about issues as critical today as they were when Dana wrote these words. The discussion of oil use and the interaction of its extraction pattern with economic decision making should be required reading for all energy policy makers and energy company executives (as well as all informed citizens in a democracy). The fisheries case reminds us of how little any government or private actor has done to grasp the importance of takeout flows in determining stocks when the input flows are not within our control. The commentary on economics and, yes the need to consider limits, is a clear systems statement that clarifies a great deal of discussion that goes back to The Limits to Growth.
It is remarkable that Dana is able to explain with such clarity such systems concepts of stocks, flows, feedback, time delays, resilience, bounded rationality, and system boundaries and to illustrate each one with multiple informative examples. Her statement that goals that optimize subsystems will sub optimize the functioning of the total system, is truly profound. As the book moves from the 'mechanics' of systems dynamics to Dana's more philosophical perspective, we are treated to her inherent belief in human values that consider the good of all, and how much more effective considering the needs of others is likely to be in solving larger, complex problems. The universe and our society may be very complex and operate in counterintuitive, non-liner fashion, but following the insights of this book and applying them will provide for far more effective solutions to the challenges of a 7 billion person planet than current incremental, linear responses by governments, corporations and individuals."—Bill Moomaw, Professor of International Environmental Policy at the Fletcher School, Tufts University
—Bill Moomaw, Professor of International Environmental Policy at the Fletcher School, Tufts University
In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, Limits to Growth—the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet— Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001.
Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute's Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life.
Some of the biggest problems facing the world—war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation—are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.
While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.
In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.

HOUSTON Houston police were called to an HEB store parking lot on the city s west side after gunfire broke out Tuesday evening.
According to the Houston Police Department, the first 911 calls came in around 9:30 p.m.
Witnesses said someone in a passing vehicle opened fire on a white sedan in the store s parking lot, located at Westheimer and Kirkwood. Police said the sedan was struck by bullets, but no injuries were reported.
The suspect or suspects fled the scene before police arrived.
A witness at a neighboring Chik-fil-A restaurant said a group of curious children came outside with ice cream to see what the gunshots were all about.
All the children that were eating their ice cream came filing out, said one witness. About 25 or more, standing not a hundred feet away from the second car that was getting shot at. They were just eating their ice cream watching not two minutes after the smoke cleared. So it was kind of strange. Like the new America have your ice cream, and watch a gunfight.
A store security guard quickly made them all go back inside the Chik-fil-A as police arrived at the scene.
Two people in the white sedan were taken in for questioning. Police hope the grocery store s surveillance video will point them to the shooter.

The writer seems to be having an awful lot of fun here, but bearing in mind it is a short story, I loved it. there is a distinctively French feel to the story, some absurdist elements, and the whole thing is a hoot. Nothing and no one is who they seem to be. Lou's psychological observation is both precise and intense.

The 52-year-old man, who was killed after his two-wheeler by hit by a speeding car on Marine Drive, was young at heart and full of life, according to his relatives.
For several years, it was almost like a ritual for deceased Ali Asgar Kanchwala and his wife Farida, 48, to go out for a ride once or twice a week after dinner. They would take a round of Marine Drive and adjoining areas before returning home.
Married in 1986, the couple was living in Mazgaon with their son after the building in which they used to live went for redevelopment. The couple has a daughter, who is married.
Speaking to dna, Kanchwala's nephew Murtaza Kudrati said, "My uncle was full of life and enjoyed going out with my aunt. But the ride on Monday changed her life forever. My uncle was not wearing a helmet as he was wearing a cap, which we all have been doing after our spiritual leader passed away. I admit it was his fault but not big enough to claim his life."
The mishap occurred on Monday night near police gymkhana. Police said the driver of a speeding Maruti Swift lost control of the car and rammed into the divider before hitting Kanchwala's scooter.
Such was the attitude of the driver, identified as 19-year-old Mohamed Zifar Chuddiwala, that he did not bother to check the couple, the victim's family members said. Instead, he tried to flee from the spot. However, he was nabbed by a patrolling team.
Kudrati, 36, said two women, who were on a two-wheeler, had noted the number of Chuddiwala's speeding car minutes before the mishap as they suspected it could go out of control and get involved in an incident.
"My aunt is in a state of shock. I have not spoken to her about the incident yet. The person who is responsible for the loss of a precious life was out on bail the next morning. What lesson will he learn? I am not saying the person should be jailed for years but such people should be put behind bars for a few days to make them realise that human life is not something that can be taken away so lightly. The driving licence of such people should be cancelled so that they cannot risk lives of others," Kudrati added.

Investigators with the Troup County Sheriffs Office are searching for a man accused of shooting another man off Lovic Davis Road four days ago.
According to the sheriff's office, deputies responded to a residence Friday evening where they spoke to Fred Fincher. Fincher told deputies he had been shot by Wilson Strickland two days before while they were riding four wheelers on Lovic Davis Road.
Deputies said Fincher had an obvious gun shot wound to his back. He was then transported to West Georgia Health for medical treatment. After speaking with investigators, Fincher was arrested after being released from the hospital for a probation violation.
Strickland has not yet been arrested.

Congress's long-awaited passage of tax extenders legislation provides a short-term extension through only the end of this year of dozens of familiar tax breaks for businesses and individuals, along with a new savings program for the disabled.
The Senate passed the Tax Increase Prevention Act on Tuesday evening and President Obama is expected to sign the bill into law (see Congress Passes Tax Extenders). The bill was combined with the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, also known as the ABLE Act, to help those with disabilities and their caregivers to save and provide for education, housing, and medical expenses in the future.
In September 2014, California passed the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014 (aka California's Paid Sick Leave law). There has been much debate since the law's passage about the law's effective date – with some suggesting that the law is effective on January 1, 2015, others suggesting it is not effective until July 1, 2015, and still others saying that some parts of the law go into effect on January 1 and other parts are effective on July 1, 2015. Given the debate, a number of employers have chosen to "wait and see" what the California Labor Commissioner would do with regard to issuing a poster and model written notice, as the issuance of those documents might help to see how the State interprets the law.
In addition to the Federal and state minimum wage increase that took place this year, a number of local governments have adopted or are considering adopting their own minimum wage (or "living wage") increases. Please see the following MINIMUM WAGE SUMMARY to determine if your local area has or is considering additional minimum wage.
Governor Brown issued an Executive Order that strengthens the state's ability to manage water, asking citizens to redouble our efforts to conserve water. In this proclamation Governor Brown actually promotes the use of professional car washes: "Limit vehicle washing at home by patronizing local carwashes that use recycled water." - 3.c of proclamation.
However, in an effort to show they are doing something to reduce water consumption, some water organizations have targeted washing cars as a way of doing that. Two of these misguided programs that we are aware of are Los Angeles: Go Dirty for the Drought and Ventura: A Little Dirt Won't Hurt, including an article about the Ventura program in the Wall Street Journal: Car Owners Talk Dirty to Save Water.
You Can Make a Difference
Due to WCA and ICA reaching out to Ventura, they have now added the language "Using A Professional Car Wash Is The Smart Environmental Choice," to their program! The more we educate, the more opportunity we have to make a difference in these careless programs.
WCA Gets Message to Media
NBC Nightly News decided to do a special report on these two "drive dirty" campaigns. Due to WCA's Alert – WCA was asked to give our prospective. Jeff Paul of Fashion Square Car Wash was featured, giving the professional car wash perspective. Although the entire piece is a "puff piece" meant to make people feel like they are doing something to help the drought by not washing their cars – but at least we were able to get our message in about how professional car washes are drought-conscious.
Because of the drought emergency in California WCA is doing the following:

great goggles
Weekend swimmer
from New York, NY
on 1/23/2014
I really like the way these goggles fit. I had a pair that lasted 1-2 years but the anti fog coating has worn off and it fogs very quickly. The lenses are swappable and the rx strength is etched in the side of the lens, so you will know by looking at the goggles, which eye has which prescription. So you can buy two pairs and switch out the lenses (if swimoutlet has them available) to match the prescription for each eye. I also have the speedo prescription goggles and I like these better. the speedo lenses are smaller and they don't fit my eye socket as well. I also find the padding around the eyes more comfortable on the TYR pair. Plus, speedo does not have the rx strength on the side of the goggle, so when I did swap out the lenses, it's hard to tell which side i should be wearing the goggles (I am probably wearing them on the opposite eyes often!). I think the anti fog coating is also better on the TYR pair. but now I have two pairs of the speedo goggles that I probably will not use anymore.

Nice, but too large for a woman's face
from Illinois
on 2/25/2014
I have recently started back to swimming with a master's group. These are my first pair of prescription goggles. It really is GREAT to be able to see. I like these TYR goggles, but the lenses are really big! I've adjusted and they do not leak, but overall they are huge for my face and hurt my nose a little after swimming. I wish they were offered in a women's version! I am going to order the Speedo ones in hopes that they will fit my face better.
Love these!!!

My favorite optical goggles
Brian O.
from San Jose, CA
on 7/19/2014
I agree 100% with the points made by Weekend Swimmer from New York. I also own multiple pairs of both the TYR and Speedo Vanquisher optical goggles, and swim 5-6 days a week. Both brands last about 2 years, for me. I also buy two pairs, and swap lenses to match prescriptions to each eye. I've used the TYR opticals for maybe 10 years, and haven't found anything better for the price. I enjoy the wide field of vision. TYR uses an adjustable nose bridge, Speedo instead supplies three bridges and you pick the one that fits best and toss the other two. I can easily find replacement bridges for the TYRs; I have not found replacements for the Speedos, which is frustrating. But the biggest advantage I find with the TYRs is the ability to remove the silicone eye cups for cleaning. The Speedo eye cups seem to be non-removeable, unless you want to destroy them. That's important, as i've had a couple skin eruptions and eye infections caused by bacteria lodged in the interface between the eye cup and lens. With the TYRs I just remove the cups and clean everything with a toothbrush. The first time I did that, was surprised to find black "stuff" in there.
Love the goggles after resolving lense swap issue
from Chicago
on 7/17/2014
I followed the suggestion of others and purchased two sets of corrective goggles so that I could swap lenses and have two pair of corrective goggles with the proper prescription for each eye. But with all the brute force I could muster, I couldn't remove a lens from the nose bridge because I couldn't get it past the 'fish hook' type plastic protrusion on the nose bridge. I swore that the lens would break or the nose bridge would snap before I got them apart. I'm handy with tools so I took my vice-grips and clamped down hard over the first 'fish hook' plastic piece and left it clamped down for twenty seconds so that the plastic would be temporarily flattened. I removed the vice-grip then quickly slid the lens past the flattened fish hook. I then did this again to get past the second fish-hook piece of plastic on the nose bridge so that the lens was now totally removed from the nose bridge. I did this all again on the second set of goggles. The plastic fish-hook pieces that I had crimped down expanded back to normal size in short order. I was then able to swap one lens each between my two sets of goggles. The direction of the fish-hook on the nose bridge allows you to easily push the lens back on to the nose bridge. I searched the Internet to find if anyone else had this issue and was surprised that I found nothing about this. So I hope my review here is helpful to someone.Now that I've used my goggles, I love them. My correction is -4.5 and -3.5. With my goggles, I can see across the pool like I was wearing my regular glasses. I definitely recommend these goggles to anyone who needs corrective lenses.

Best goggles

They feel more substantial than my current pair. The vision is excellent but more importantly they didn't fog up and or leak!! The least expensive too!! I didn't adjust them once during my lap swim. I loved them!
i can see
from Wisconsin

Being in the water with m,y prescription glasses was risky, without them I cannot see enough to be safe. These goggles give me enough correction to see. The are easy to fit. The anti-fog doesn't work very well. the only minimal downside.

Climate Change, Geoengineering and Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) By , December 09, 2014
Discussion of ENMOD is taboo. It is an unspoken truth. Scientists dare not address it as part of the debate on climate change. ENMOD technologies not only exist, they are fully operational. Confirmed by US military documents, a typhoon, a tsunami or an earthquake can be triggered by the use of ENMOD technologies.

A group of around 65 women from Alcoholics Anonymous in Australia shared stories of their struggles to come to term with addiction with students of social work and nursing.
The women, who are on a tour of India, were in the city on Monday.
Alcohol consumption, usually associated with men in India, has in its grip a small segment of women too. But members of the Indian chapter of AA are unable to provide any numbers of both male and female fellowships.
Activists working with de-addiction centres say though it is well-known that young women are more frequently seen in pubs there is no documented evidence about how serious the problem is. Doctors say that effect of alcohol in women is more severe and several studies have found that they are linked to cancer of breast if it already runs in the family. A resident counsellor at TTK Hospital, which organised the programme, said even in TTK hospital that was founded 32 years ago only 25 women have been treated so far, the counsellor said. In other countries AA is popular and there are treatment centres and women volunteer and get admitted.

'Blue Bloods' Season 4, episode 16: A woman's vengeance and a school trip add 'Insult to Injury'Add to Favorites | Blue Bloods
Dangerous byproducts of car-accident deaths, plus the police commissioner's visit to a museum, meant another active day for the Reagans.
"Insult to Injury," Friday's (March 7) episode of CBS' "Blue Bloods" -- written by co-executive producer Daniel Truly, from a story by him and series script coordinator Andrew Raab -- made Frank (Tom Selleck) a chaperone for grandson Sean's (Andrew Terraciano) school field trip. The trek's main guide, Joyce Carpenter (guest star Annie Wersching), quickly proved herself something of a control freak.
"This isn't my first rodeo," she briskly informed Frank. "You're just to follow my lead." Clearly, she did not know Frank Reagan.
What looked to be a day of paperwork for Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) became something else when he took a call meant for a detective who had passed away. The distressed caller, named Jill (guest star Bess Rous), angrily told Danny that the NYPD and the justice system had failed her. When he asked her how, she replied, "Once I kill myself, you'll know."
As Danny tried to talk her down from her plan while getting a trace set up, Jill explained her parents had been killed by a drunk driver who ran into their car on Christmas Eve 2008. She was in the back seat, and she remembered the perpetrator laughing. Though he was sentenced for the deaths, he'd been released ... and Jill vowed that before she killed herself, she was going to kill him.
At a food wagon, Jamie (Will Estes) and Eddie (Vanessa Ray) encountered attractive bike messenger Maya (guest star Shelley Hennig), who slipped Jamie her number -- to Eddie's bemusement. They later found she'd slipped something else at the wagon: a counterfeit $50 bill, setting the police partners on her trail.
Getting nowhere in trying to track Maya through her courier service, which it turned out she'd left a few months earlier, Jamie sought her via bike shops. He and Eddie located and arrested her, and she ultimately identified the counterfeiter, who was being pursued by the Secret Service. One of those agents took over, prompting Jamie to lament once again starting a case that others finished.
Back at the museum, Frank suggested to Joyce a different approach to shepherding the children, but she didn't want her plans disrupted. Apparently, that also went for her daughter Daisy (guest star Sadie Sink), who told Frank she wanted to be a park ranger though her mother was aiming for her to become a doctor.
Jill inadvertently gave up the name of her parents' killer, Decker (guest star Leif Riddell), as her phone conversation with Danny continued. The trace only could be narrowed down to a 50-block radius, and Danny brought in her brother Ryan (guest star Brandon Tyler Harris) to try to convince her not to harm Decker.
Also at Danny's behest, Erin (Bridget Moynahan) came into the situation involving Jill, who eventually decided to end the long call and set her mission in motion. Danny reconnected with her through a text message to her cell phone, but she tracked down Decker at a bar he frequented, Tasered him and put him in her car trunk ... then drove off shortly before police could arrive to stop her.
A clue from Ryan steered Danny to a park where the burial place of Jill's parents' ashes was marked by a tree. There, Jill ordered a frantically apologetic Decker to his knees as she aimed her gun at him, but Danny stepped out of the shadows and told her he knew she wouldn't be able to shoot. Spared, Decker said to Danny, "She's crazy, right?" Danny reacted by punching him, then embraced a sobbing Jill.
Frank upped the students' enthusiasm at the museum by letting them vote on their next stop -- with a knowing look toward Joyce -- and the dinosaur exhibit was an especially popular option. He then told them the story of Theodore Roosevelt, asking if any of the kids knew how "Teddy" showed his love of nature during his presidency.
Daisy brightly answered that Roosevelt started the U.S. Forest Service, among other initiatives. When Frank inquired how she knew, Daisy reiterated she wanted to be a ranger. Mentioning all the occupations Roosevelt had, Frank pointed out that a person "can be more than one thing" ... then looked back at an impressed Joyce, who mouthed her thanks to him.
The weekly Reagan-family dinner mainly was a discussion of the museum visit. When Frank expressed he hadn't been fair in his initial judgment of Joyce, Jamie thought of Maya in saying he also had misread someone. Afterward, Jamie told Frank he was concerned about not having made detective yet, to which Frank asked, "You think something's holding you back?"
Jamie gave him a silent but meaning-fraught glance, suggesting more would be developing along those lines. And, very possibly, quite soon.

Re: Simple electrical panel
I rewired my boat and built my own panels from Radio Shack project boxes. One thing was that the Blue Sea type panels were not only expensive but also just didn't fit my limited space I had on a smaller boat.
I'd get inexpensive boat fuse panels and then mounted them in the project box front. Sometimes I'd put a hinge on the major boxes so I could get inside easily. The box enabled me to have a wiring panel that was protected on the back side. This was a change to the ABYC standards that I though important. For the more complex circuits the fused circuit on the front of the panel would feed a internal panel with a number of fused circuits. e.g. the navigation fused circuit on the front would feed an panel mounted on the inside of the box. For example the nav fuse on the front fed an internal fuse panel with separately fused VHF, GPS, autohelm etc. The lighting fuse on the front would feed an internal circuit board with 2 separately fused circuits and a nighttime red circuit so that if one circuit blew I wouldn't lose all lighting. What was important was to make up a wiring diagram and use a label maker (got mine at office depot) to put label tags on each wire. I found that I often reduced the depth of the box by cutting it down so it would fit the tight space.
Besides the main panels I also had remote boxes for special purposes e.g. a battery monitoring box for amp meters, volt meter and amp hr. meter; a remote box with fused circuits for my demand water heater, CO sensor and shower water pump; a box fro engine power circuits and the generator regulator. etc.
Making up the boxes also allowed me to use the small Radio Shack colored lights to use for warnings e.g. bilge pump left off, battery banks left cross connected etc.
So maybe I overdid it. But using the project boxes worked for me and gave me a installation I wouldn't have been able to do with off the shelf Blue Sea products.

Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
Although it is a long drive from Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon, it is well worth it.
Our driver, James, was an attentive and good driver, and he was very knowledgeable about the various landmarks on the route. He was very attentive to ensure sufficient rest-stops and at the food stops.
The 8-seat van was comfortable, but it was a bit bouncy on the poor road surfaces around Las Vegas and the A/C ventilation was not that good, considering it was 110F outside.
Bryce Canyon is an amazing and beautiful National Park. Our driver James guided us to the three lookout points and helpfully took our photos using our cameras with the Canyon in the background. We also stopped on route at Red Rock Canyon Park to photograph the rock formations.
Overall, the trip is highly recommended, although an air-sprung and better ventilated van would make for a more comfortable journey.
