Two things jumped out at me when I received this press release. Firstly the name, which comes out as a mouthful – it isn't something you could casually mention in conversation, even if you worked closely with the motherboard. The second is the amount of DRAM slots, which is ultimately what the EP2C612D24 and EP2C612D24-4L are catering for. The Haswell-EP/Xeon E5 v3 DDR4 memory controllers are designed for up to three DIMMs per channel, similarly to Ivy Bridge-EP (E5 v2) and Sandy Bridge-EP (E5), although in all cases it is usually reserved for more niche systems. With 16GB UDIMMs, this allows for a maximum of 384GB, although moving up to RDIMM, LRDIMMs or 64GB NVDIMMs pushes the max to 1.5TB in a dual socket motherboard...

I am attempting to make a Facebook game and trying to replicate a common function that I usually find in many other Facebook game (a call to my website and illusionary image that is a loading bar).
I am not familiar with Ajax or Javascript so please bare with me.
The function should do the following:
User clicks on Button
Animated Gif Appears (Loading Bar)
Button Update User's Status
Animated Gif Disappears
Facebook Canvas page is updated
The code I currently have can be found at Pastebin.
I am having trouble thinking of Step 2 and 4.
I need to optimize Step 5.
To clarify what happens on Step 5. I have Box 1 which has my stats. And Box 2 which has my points. I click on Box 1. This should update Box 1 with 1 points, and update Box 2; minus a point. (Clicking on Box 1, concurrently update both boxes)
I have successfully done this, but it is quite slow. I was wondering if there are alternative way that may be faster than what I am currently doing.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
I've found a quick way to optimize the call. Rather than querying for data that I already have query, I will be using the first query to grab most of my data rather than querying it when I update.

Family Loss of a loved one = Depression
I'm asking if anybody can give me tips on how to get her to open up, if not to us, then a counselor. I really haven't seen her cry but just tear up. TIA for your help.
At times being a parent is overwhelming...but loving every minute.
I don't think you can. She is seeing a therapist. It might take quite a while.
What girl doesn't want to play a crack whore? - Gina Torres
My twins were 10 when my son was with my father in a fatal car accident (my son walked away...my dad was killed instantly). Thankfully my mom set the example for us in how to deal with this. She always talked about my dad when the kids wanted to...and sometimes when didn't want to. (She had to adjust too...he died 3 days before their 40th anniversary.)
Five months later, a neighbor calls me at work and tells me that Anya is screaming hysterically for someone to come because her mommom won't wake up. She had already gone to the house and my mom was on the way to the hospital with a suspected stroke. Ten days later, my twins and I put her ashes with my dad's.
Both twins underwent intensive therapy. Ruslan went almost ten months without speaking and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Anya now has a form of selective mutism where when she is stressed, her speech shuts down. She also deals with depression.
My nephew was April 2011. May 2011, his mother was struck by a drunk driver after taking the older kids to school. She is in a vegetative state, an I am now the adoptive mom of the younger 3, and have permanent custody of the older boys.
Our policy (and yes it had to become a policy) in the house, is that when the kids (or myself) want to talk about someone who has died, we are allowed to. Noone can get physically angry (hit, curse, etc.), but they are welcome to leave. We have learned to "clue in" when what we are talking about is upsetting someone else and ask them if they would rather we talk at a better time.
Ironically, lately all of the older ones come to my room right before bed to talk. We have separate pictures of my mom, my dad, and my sister-in-law in different areas of the room. (The kids helped decorate this memory area.) They will sometimes just sit and read. Or they will want to talk about what heaven is like for them. (Although my SIL is in a vegetative state, the kids feel it is easier to say that she is dead. They know she will never recover and feel that her body is there but her soul is already in heaven.) We also have memory spaces for different dogs that have passed in the children's lives and they keep their "Dogs Go to Heaven Too" book there.
I'm sorry this was long and I started rambling. What I am trying to say, is ALWAYS allow D to talk about J when she is around you. You may have to bring up funny stories or just admit that you are thinking about him too. Spend as much extra time with her as you can, and especially on a day that would special for D and J.
This coming month, your D may need your husband to spend some time thinking about what she would have gotten her dad for Christmas.
Every holiday, we release balloons from everyone in the family to everyone up in heaven. Sometimes one of the kids will even release a balloon for a friend's family member. Their names and messages to the person are included on each one. It helps.
Sorry...got to go. Putting up christmas decorations and crying don't mix. Didn't realize the tears would start up. sorry. be bakc later.
permanent custody 7/10/13-dn (12/97), dn (01/99)
Kazakh twins (b. 12/99, a. 12/02)
I don't think there's much you can do....everyone grieves, at their own pace. Just having someone she can open up too...when she is strong enough to talk about it.
If they were really close? Then that will forever be a hole in her heart & VERY hard to get over.
I would try to remind her, that just because he is not in physical form? Doesn't mean he is completely gone from her life. He will now, always be with her, watching over her & help guiding her way.
That's so sad, I will keep your family in prayer.
DD16 & 3 angel babies (July 2012 baby RIP 12/11, Jan.2013 baby. RIP 06/12, & June 2013 baby RIP 11/12)
@Scatter, I was afraid of that. As they same time heals. :'(
@Sammie'smum, we remind D of his spirit and we hope one day those words will fulfill her. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
At times being a parent is overwhelming...but loving every minute.
Also, you were not rambling at all and I thank you for allowing me into your world for a few moments. God Bless.
At times being a parent is overwhelming...but loving every minute.
She may not want to talk, but just keep bringing up good memories, tell her how proud he would be of her accomplishments, keep his memory alive.
My mom died when I was 28, my brother was 10. He refused to talk about her for years. He is 15 now, and we have kept her memory alive, kept talking about her, and just now he is starting to talk about her.
Now were in a similar situation with my niece and nephew, who's father was never in the picture and this mom recently passed away. It's just time and therapy. These things, particularly with parents, don't heal over time. I wouldn't push them talking if they're not ready. As long as she's receiving mental health care, that's all you can do.
My ex died 3 years ago. My two youngest (13 and 10 at the time) wouldn't talk about their dad at all. I'm the story teller in the family so I just started tellling them stories about their dad, eventually they started sharing their memories too. Eventually they were able to cry and let it out. I think that by hearing me talk about him (and even cry sometimes) made it safe for them to let their emotions show.
If you decide to use this approach, I would start with just childhood memories. Funny stories are always good too.
Mother to Ryan (30yo), Lance (16yo), Laney (13yo) and two angel babies. Grandma to Reagan 8(yo) and Riley (6yo)
My husband recently pasted away and all of my kids are in counciling. My oldest doesnt talk much to me about it. My son Tristan is opening up to a counceler and my twin girls are confussed on what happend so all kids handle it differently i would just let her come to you
sorry to here about your loss, Jess

Going to grief camp really helped my niece. They usually have them in the summer. It helps the kids to be around other kids who have lost parents.

I was attempting to mess with the style of a
Button, and noticed that my changes were making the button look strange. To make sure I was doing the right thing, I tried doing what I thought would be semantically a no-op:
However, the button style changes dramatically after this line. I'm on Windows 7. Without this line, it looks like a regular windows 7 button - rounded, nice gradient, light-blue on highlight, etc. After the line, it looks like an ugly old Windows XP button - blocky, no gradient, and lightly colored on highlight. What gives?

After 27 professional fights in mixed martial arts, welterweight Josh Koscheck is ready to start anew with Bellator and share his wisdom with all of his fighting peers.
UFC president Dana White said Tuesday that No. 1 contender Chad Mendes will replace injured featherweight champion Jose Aldo and fight Conor McGregor at UFC 189 on July 11.
With a knee injury behind him, Yoel Romero continued to make his move up the rankings with a TKO of Lyoto Machida.
UFC middleweight Yoel Romero says he did not refer to same-sex marriage during a controversial postfight victory speech on Saturday, following a knockout win over Lyoto Machida.
After three losses in four fights, Lyoto Machida's career appears to be in limbo. The MMA Live team breaks down where "The Dragon" goes from here.
The Albuquerque, New Mexico, District Attorney's Office anticipates bringing a felony hit-and-run charge against Jon Jones before a grand jury, according to office spokeswoman Kayla Anderson.
If UFC featherweight Chad Mendes does get an opportunity to fight Conor McGregor for an interim title July 11, he is considered the favorite to win the fight.
Longtime UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck has signed with Bellator MMA and could be looking at a debut fight against former nemesis Paul Daley.
Heavyweight Cheick Kongo controlled Alexander Volkov on the ground and cruised to victory by unanimous decision at Bellator 139 on Friday night.
A bill to legalize professional mixed martial arts in the state of New York failed to make it to the state Assembly floor for a vote Thursday, the final day of an extended legislative session.
Is Lyoto Machida still a title contender? Should Jose Aldo defend his title if he's not 100 percent? UFC welterweight contender Carlos Condit joins our expert panel.
A welterweight matchup between Erick Silva and Rick Story, originally scheduled for June 27, will now co-headline a UFC Fight Night on Aug. 23 in Saskatoon, Canada.
Brett Okamoto answers your questions about the failed bid to bring MMA to New York, Machida versus Romero and more.
The UFC has identified John Dodson as its No. 1 flyweight contender, and he will face six-time defending champ Demetrious Johnson for the 125-pound title later this year.
The California State Athletic Commission has suspended former Bellator middleweight titlist Alexander Shlemenko for three years due to a failed drug test in February.
A female strawweight fight between Paige VanZant and Alex Chambers has been booked for UFC 191 on Sept. 5 in Las Vegas.
UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo intends to defend his title against Conor McGregor at UFC 189 on July 11 despite suffering a bone bruise to his rib cage and cartilage earlier this week.
Bellator MMA president Scott Coker discusses his promotion's Sept. 19 "MMA Dynamite" show, which features a four-man tournament, kickboxing and a title fight between Liam McGeary and Tito Ortiz.

Dan Uggla off DL, in lineup for Braves
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla has been sidelined since before undergoing LASIK eye surgery on Aug. 13, but now he's off the DL and penciled into the Atlanta lineup for Wednesday night's game against the Indians.
In order to make room for Uggla on the active roster, the Braves have optioned outfielder Todd Cunningham to Triple-A Gwinnett.
This season, the 33-year-old Uggla is batting a disappointing .186/.307/.389 with 21 homers in 112 games. The Braves' hope, obviously, is that the corrective procedure improves Uggla's vision at the plate and, by extension, his numbers.
For his career, Uggla has a 111 OPS+ and 231 homers across parts of eight major-league seasons.

I'm beginning to lose interest.
I've been reading the manga and am up to date on it. The anime is currently telling the story in manga chapter 360, give or take. The manga is now at chapter 443.
The anime is now into the Tartaros arc -- and that one's a real bummer. It gets bad and then it gets worse, and worse, and ultimately Fairy Tail wins but it's not a happy ending.
So I'm not actually very eager to watch new episodes of the anime because I know what's happening and it's a downer.
As to the manga, well, spoilers below the fold.more...

Ah, how the mighty have fallen. J.C. Staff, once producers of fine shows like Sugar, Azumanga Daioh, Railgun, Zero no Tsukaima, Ikki Tousen (cough), and Eiken (cough cough hack choke) has descended to this level. Ah, it is a sad day indeed.
Seriously, this is a really stupid conceit on which to base a show, and the only saving grace is that they're treating it as a farce. But my disbelief won't suspend this far, even for a farce.
It does have one interesting observation: in a really draconian police state the opportunities for blackmail are abundant. Blue Snow, the "Hentai Terrorist", uses that as a weapon.
"Stay back. I wear nothing beneath this towel! If you make me struggle I shall become buck-naked! Then anyone who holds me down will be blackballed for exposing a woman in public!"
And that's about as much fan service as the show has.
She also blackmails Our Hero into joining her cause by threatening to denounce him to the Morals Police.
I'm sorry, this is not for me.

Fireworks that explode aren't legal here, but there's always a lot of it around anyway. It's easy to get; all you have to do is drive over to the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and you can get anything you're willing to pay for. US 26 goes straight from Portland to the reservation and it's a pretty easy drive. (Considering you have to drive through Government Camp on the slope of Mount Hood.) It's about 80 miles each way, which is a breeze.
Usually the combat starts a couple of days before the 4th but that didn't happen this year; it's been surprisingly peaceful, probably because of this damned heat wave; it's been in the 90's every day this week and it's still above 90 today at 8 PM. Anyway I imagine it's going to get a lot louder before this evening is over, probably starting in a couple of hours after the sun goes down and it starts cooling off.
I'm always most afraid of sky rockets because I'm afraid some loonytoon is going to start a fire and burn the whole neighborhood down. It hasn't ever happened, but they only need to get lucky once. I have to be lucky every year.
UPDATE: Well, sounds like they've run their arsenal. Loud noises began a bit before 10, and now at 11:30 there's nothing. Pretty unimpressive; in years past it's gone on for several hours.
The good news is that the neighborhood didn't burn down, again this year. So all's well that ends well.

There have been some guys doing some sort of remodeling over on the next building this week, and I was curious what it was about.
This afternoon the apartment manager called me and asked if I wouldn't mind if they came to my apartment tomorrow. They're supposed to give 24 hours notice, and this was less, but I have no reason to cause a fuss so I told her it was OK.
What they are doing is to replace all the deck doors. I have no idea why. Mine is fine; it's never been a problem. But tomorrow I'll get a new one, and I'll ask what the idea is.
They're showing up at 8, and she said they'd finish it in one day. I sure hope so.
It's going to be miserable for them, and already has been, because of the heat. It hit 97 today, and it's predicted to be 95 tomorrow, and even hotter over the weekend. l don't want anyone keeling over from heat prostration, so it's a good thing my frig is loaded up with cans of soda.
But I'm in the habit of taking a lot of naps, and tomorrow I won't be able to. My bed is right next to the deck door, for reasons too complicated to go into. (The keyword in the explanation is "bedbugs".)
It should be amusing.

Man, talk about bait and switch.
And it's all the worse because he got really busy with work and it took five months for him to do about 8 strips before his reveal.
Start here. The girl with the black hair is Gilly, the "perky goth", who once upon a time was Matt's girl friend. Then she moved to London and for several years now she's only appeared once in a while. But as of this arc, she's apparently back again.

For a long time I was in the habit of leaving about 250 torrents running 24/7. That all ended when my WHS bought the farm and took most of my anime collection into the bit bucket, and I had to start over rebuilding my collection using my other NAS to hold the booty. Right now I have 58 torrents running but about 20 of those will go away in a couple of days. (For instance, 13 of them are individual episodes of Senran Kagura because I couldn't find a batch torrent for the series.)
When I first started doing torrents several years ago I didn't impose any limits on bandwidth usage, and I noticed that when I got really busy on uplink, suddenly it would cap at about 240Kbytes per second. Which if you do the calculation and allow for some overhead, is about 2 megabits. It was Comcast doing that, and just so that I didn't keep running up against their cap (and maybe get them mad at me), I set uTorrent to limit to 200K per second.
And a lot of the time I would saturate that, but a lot of the time I wouldn't. Last weekend I noticed something strange: every once in a while my uplink was suddenly plunge and spend a couple of hours pegged right at 50K. Then it would loosen up again. It made me worry that Comcast had decided to drastically lower the cap. But it also reminded me, back when I upgraded from uTorrent 2 to uTorrent 3, my uplink got a lot more finicky and was used a lot less efficiently.
So a couple of days ago I reinstalled uTorrent 2.2.1, the earliest install file I had retained, to be used instead of uTorrent 3.2.3. What I wanted to see was whether the older version would use my uplink more aggressively (i.e. more generously).
And it does. It's spent most of the last day pegged right at 200K, which is what I want. 3.2.3 almost never did that. The user interface is different, too, and I find I prefer the older one.
Which proves once again something that shouldn't really need to be proved: sometimes an upgrade is really a downgrade. (I'm looking at you, Microsoft Vista, and your younger sister Windows 8.) BakaBT doesn't permit any version of uTorrent beyond 3.3.1, and 2.2.1 is their recommended best version. And I think this is the reason why: the guys behind uTorrent made the newer versions try to game the tracker.
So I'm happy to retreat to 2.2.1 and I'll be sticking with it. For my purposes it's better than any other version, before or since.

The folks at Metanorn have each chosen 3-5 shows in the upcoming season that they're looking forward to.
No one mentioned Bikini Warriors and it got left out of the poll at the end of the article. Man, shows about boobs don't get any respect.
UPDATE: By the way, Bikini Warriors is running on AT-X!

My objective is to develop web applications with clean looking code and MVC patterns. Working with Drupal since 5.0rc version I've created several sites for clients from PSD/PDF initial specifications. I can provide full range of development for Drupal sites from installing/updating Drupal site to custom theme development, module writting. If you have something in mind - I can help you with writting exact specifications, choose design. Recently I've hired another junior developer so some easy tasks can be done cheaper to save money for your project. Also, I have several content writter, seo specialist in my team for providing appropriate service dor your project. Overall, now I can provide turnkey sollution for any project including project prototyping/development/design/writting/seo. Also, I am knowledgeable in the field of web data retrieval with regexpr. My latest project of desktop application included retrieving all song-texts from a website through web and saving them to local DB for future use as lyrics DB for DJs. Same task was accomplished with server side perl scripts (like betting stakes extracting). If you need to fix or write something nontrivial urgently - I will do it for you. I value time - mine as well as yours. So if you want the fastest and impeccable results - an expert in PHP and Perl is at your service! When you select a provider, keep in mind that hourly rate is only one variable in the total cost calculation. I provide quick turn arounds with stable products. While my hourly rate is high, my total cost to you is not. We can arrange both fixed and hourly payment terms (even within one big project!) This can help you to manage better project's costs.

Enterprise Risk Management: Current Initiatives and Issues Journal of Applied Finance Roundtable
Simkins, Betty, Journal of Applied Finance
Financial Management Association International
October, 2007 Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Florida
Panelists: Bruce Branson, Pat Concessi, John R.S. Fraser, Michael Hofmann, Robert (Bob) KoIb, Todd Perkins, and Joe Rizzi
Moderator: Betty Simkins
I. Introduction
Betty Simkins: Good afternoon. I'm Betty Simkins, co-editor of the Journal of Applied Finance and moderator of this roundtable. In this session, we will talk about the current initiatives and issues in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). I view ERM as a natural evolution of risk management that looks at all risks across the organization, not just narrow "silos" of risk as viewed in the past. ERM is an important discipline that is gaining popularity and recognition with many companies and also in the educational process with universities.
Let's first begin with a definition of ERM to set the stage for our roundtable discussion. A good place to start is with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) definition, which defines ERM as: "a process, effected by an entity's board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of entity objectives."1
Surveys show the number of U.S. firms saying they have fully implemented enterprise risk management (ERM) tripled to 12% in 2007 from 4% in 2006.2 Some companies have had little or no success while others have had extensive success with ERM. Several universities through education, research, and executive programs are active in the enterprise risk management initiative.
In our roundtable discussion, we will start off with a general introduction to enterprise risk management including how and why it is important to companies and education; the benefits, value, and education initiatives; and key organization structures, designs, processes, and best practices. To summarize, we will discuss the following six questions in this session:
Question 1: How do you define ERM?
Question 2: Where is your company or university in the ERM process?
Question 3: Let's talk about the taxonomy of risk, particularly operational risk. It seems that too many diverse risks get classified into this category (i.e., human frailties to unethical board members and corporate officers, etc). How does your firm or university deal with these issues?
Question 4: What can universities do better in educating students on ERM? What would firms like to see their new employees know about ERM? What specific skills are most desirable?
Question 5: (For the corporate panelists) Do you think ERM contributes to shareholder value at your firm? If so, how?
Question 6: Are there organizational structures, designs, processes or best practices that you believe are key for effective ERM implementation?
Question 7: How do you make ERM actionable and keep your ERM program dynamic?
Question 8: Do you have research ideas for academics? What is your forecast of how ERM will evolve over the next 10 years?
To address these questions, we've assembled a very distinguished panel consisting of five ERM executives and two ERM faculty experts. Let's introduce each of them now, beginning with the ERM executives.
Pat Concessi is a Partner in Deloitte & Touche's Global Energy Markets practice. She has been responsible for projects involving control infrastructure assessment and development, enterprise risk management, implementation of energy transacting and risk management policies, selection of risk measurement methodologies, and the selection and implementation of energy risk management systems. Her knowledge of power system operations provides valuable insight into the application of risk management practices in electricity markets. …

Aim Dispersal is a critical component of animal ecology that is poorly understood for most species. In particular, savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) have been studied for decades in national parks across Africa, but little is known about their dispersal into new or unused habitats or their population dynamics in human-dominated landscapes. We capitalized on a natural dispersal event of savanna elephants recolonizing communal land in southern Kenya to document their demographic characteristics and genetic relationships.
Location Rift Valley province of Kenya.
Methods We collected faecal samples and used genetic methods to identify individuals, estimate the sex ratio and evaluate the patterns of relatedness within the female groups and male aggregations. We also measured dung bolus circumference to assign age classes to individuals and estimate the age structure.
Results We identified 112 individuals with a sex ratio not different from one (1.32:1.00). The age structure was skewed towards younger elephants (71%), suggesting the potential for rapid growth from reproduction. We detected significantly higher kinship levels within female groups (R = 0.124 ± 0.023), suggesting that family groups colonized the site, but found little support for higher-order genetic relationships among female groups. Males detected together were unrelated (R = 0.003 ± 0.030).
Main conclusions Our results suggest that highly social mammals, such as savanna elephants, disperse into unoccupied habitat as family groups and that a young demographic structure and a large number of males might be expected in establishing populations. These findings highlight the potential value of indirect, non-invasive methods for assessing elephant herd and demographic characteristics when direct observations are difficult.
