1 pound

margarine or butter
3 tablespoons
sesame seed
1 tablespoon
lemon juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
I am so glad to be the first to review this great recipe. I loved the light nutty flavor the sesame seeds gave the asparagus and the fresh burst from the lemon. The flavors and textures went so well together. Thanks Shannon.....I am sure I will make this again.
Would not make this again.

I made a lighter version of this recipe:
1. Toast sesame seeds over medium low heat in a skillet until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. No need to add butter or oil. Just stir frequently and don't leave them unattended or they will burn. Pour them onto a plate to cool and set aside.
2. In a medium skillet, simmer 1/2 cup of low sodium, fat free, chicken broth 3-4 minutes over medium high heat, it will reduce slightly. While broth simmers, measure out 3 tbsp. of butter.
3. Reduce heat to medium low and add the butter, 1 tbsp. at a time. The sauce will thicken as the butter is added. Continue to simmer an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Add lemon juice and parsley,
4. Pour sauce over asparagus and sprinkle with sesame seeds. I only used a tbsp.
The author's posted recipe is delicious as written but I can't eat a single serving of asparagus so I needed something a little bit lighter!
Fast, easy, simple, fresh tasting, and darn good. Just that simple. Love the lemon/sesame seed combo. I make it even easier and quicker by using already toasted sesame seeds!
Lemon, butter, & asparagus are a match made in heaven but add sesame seeds and you have a stellar dish. I used butter as opposed to margarine but I used a little less than called for. Personal preference. This plates up beautifully, tastes very bright and fresh, and I will definitely be making it again. Thanks so much for sharing:o)
This is a very good recipe. I peeled the bottom part of the asparagus. Then I mixed all the ingredients and poured it ontop of the asparagus and roasted it in a 400 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. I omitted the margerine and used about 2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil. I also used chopped basil instead of the parsley. It was so good, even my young children enjoyed it!
I wasn't too impressed. I thought the seasoning was off and the asparagus was mushy after boiling. A friend has since recommended that I should not boil and instead I should sear for a nice fresh flavor. I will do that the next time, but I will skip this recipe.
Nice recipe! I bought some very thin asparagus, cooked it for maybe 3 to 4 minutes til just tender, drained, then quickly sauteed with toasted seeds (I agree, no need for butter if you prefer to omit it), a dash of sesame oil and garnished with a squeeze of lemon and the parsley. Quick, easy and delicious!

Ineffective Assignment StrategiesPoorly designed assignments can have a negative impact on students' confidence in using the library in the future and can have a lasting impact on their learning.
- Prohibiting students from using any electronic information – More and more information is being converted to electronic formats. Often, the best information we can find on a topic is in electronic form. We have many great print resources, but students also need to learn to navigate through electronic information.
- Requiring students to use resources the library doesn't own – We have information resources on a wide variety of subjects. When students have a difficult time simply accessing resources, it distracts them from gaining skills in evaluating the information and providing their own analysis. Additionally, assignments that require a number of students to use Interlibrary Loan are not recommended.
- Assigning the whole class the same topic without putting items on reserve – The library has a finite number of print resources on each subject. The first couple students to visit the library will check out all the available materials and the other students will have a difficult time finding sufficient information on the topic. Fill out the Ask a Reference Question form if you would like assistance in selecting materials. We'll be glad to help.
- Requiring topics that are too broad or too narrow – A topic should be of the appropriate specificity for the length of the assignment and the time given to complete it. Additionally, resources for topics that are too narrowly focused may not be readily available in the Library.
- Scavenger hunts - The least effective assignment possible asks students to locate random facts. It doesn't teach information literacy skills. A library scavenger hunt assignment is like giving students a quiz without having taught them the material. Additionally, it lacks a clear purpose, teaches little, and is very frustrating. Frequently librarians, not students, end up locating the information.

Senators from the Republican Party have asked a federal appeals court to permit them to participate in oral argument in a lawsuit against the indefinite detention provision of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Through their lawyers, according to Josh Gerstein of POLITICO, they filed a motion requesting ten minutes to give a presentation on the intent of the provision and how the court's resolution of this matter could affect or impact Congress.
The provision at issue in the lawsuit, Hedges v. Obama, is Section 1021, which affirmed the "authority" of the US military to "detain covered persons pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)." It defined "covered persons" as anyone who "planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks." It also went a step further and also included:
A person who was a part of or substantially supported al Qaeda, the Taliban or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
Activists, journalists and whistleblowers signed on to this lawsuit because of the vagueness of the provision. "Substantially supported," "directly supported" and "associated forces" are not defined. As such, the plaintiffs have contended the law violates the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments of the US Constitution.
The plaintiffs won a victory in September when Judge Katherine Forrest issued a permanent injunction against the indefinite detention provision in the 2012 NDAA. The Obama administration immediately filed an appeal at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and pushed for a stay of Forrest's decision to restore indefinite detention powers that had been enjoined. The stay was granted.
Now, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Sen. John McCain want to present an argument to the court if the case is heard next year. Lawyers for the senators write in their motion:
…Section 1021 was intended as an affirmation of a portion of the President's detention authority under the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force ('AUMF'). This provision was strongly opposed by the Administration, which viewed it (correctly) as a rebuke to the President's choices regarding detention in several high-profile incidents…
This indicates the senators intend to play a key role by attempting to weigh in on whether the indefinite detention provision is an affirmation of powers in the AUMF or an unconstitutional expansion of powers. If they were permitted to present argument, it could serve lawyers for the Obama administration well (even though they were opponents of one another when the law was proposed, passed and eventually signed into law nearly one year ago).
The government argues the indefinite detention provision contains no new "concepts" for why the government should have the power to indefinitely detain someone that were not in the AUMF. The government has cited a legal interpretation, a March 2009 memo, that has been used in numerous cases—in "habeas litigation brought by the Guantanamo detainees" and claimed it has been accepted in the courts:
The President has the authority to detain persons that the President determines planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorists attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, and persons who harbored those responsible for those attacks. The President also has the authority to detain persons who were part of, or substantially supported, Taliban or al-Qaida forces or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act, or has directly supported hostilities, in aid of such enemy armed forces.
Apparently, Congress adopted this interpretation in 2011, when it passed the 2012 NDAA. This interpretation from the Justice Department was different from the AUMF. The AUMF never used the terms "substantially supported," "directly supported," "directly supported" or "associated forces." In fact, none of these terms appear in any laws involving detention powers before the passage of the 2012 NDAA.
Forrest acknowledged this in her ruling, where she concluded the indefinite detention provision did not merely affirm what was in the AUMF:
…The AUMF and § 1021 have significant differences, discussed below. Those differences can be traced to the legislative history and case law surrounding the AUMF. Section 1021 appears to be a legislative attempt at an ex post facto "fix": to provide the President (in 2012) with broader detention authority than was provided in the AUMF in 2001 and to try to ratify past detentions which may have occurred under an overly-broad interpretation of the AUMF. That attempt at a "fix" is obscured by language in the new statute (e.g., "reaffirmation") that makes it appear as if this broader detention authority had always been part of the original grant. It had not…
She also found there had been no "law of war" language in the AUMF. "Section 1021 explicitly incorporates disposition under the law of war," she wrote:
(c) DISPOSITION UNDER THE LAW OF WAR. The disposition of a
person under the law of war as described in subsection (a)
may include the following:
(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until
the end of hostilities authorized by the [AUMF].
. . .
(d) CONSTRUCTION. Nothing in this section is intended to
limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope
of the [AUMF].
And she concluded, "Such clear embodiment of vague "law of war" principles…has never heretofore been included in a statute relating to military detention authority after September 11, 2001. It is clear that the AUMF does not mention the law of war." She added the government proffered this "law of war" language to support "an expansive interpretation of detention authority under the AUMF, which was rejected by multiple courts."
In a recent interview, Bruce Afran, one of the lawyers helping plaintiffs advance the NDAA lawsuit, said the government has likely been detaining people "far too broadly under the AUMF." They probably wanted to expand the power so it would be harder to accuse the government of violating the law. That would explain why there was all this blustering when Forrest issued her injunction that would affect the ability of the Obama administration to detain individuals in the Afghanistan war (even though Forrest's ruling did not extend to limiting any of the executive's power to detain combatants in conflict).
Afran provided some important context explaining how the government has only ever had the power to detain combatants, which the Supreme Court has made clear in decisions.
[The Bush Administration] never took the position of detaining people who are not combatants. The Obama administration has made that change and, in fact, three federal courts stated the Obama administration has shifted the government's position from combatant detention to mere supporter detention. So, it's the Obama administration that seems to be broadening detention standards beyond the Bush Administration limit on combatancy as a basis for detention. But they've never had the power to detain anyone except a combatant whether under US law or international law.
The Republican senators' argument is likely to be very similar to what the government argued before Forrest earlier this year. The question becomes whether the judges care about the "intent" of Congress or if they simply conclude what Congress intended does not matter. What matters is what the law says and it does not seem to be a word-for-word affirmation of any section of the AUMF passed in 2001 when George W. Bush was president.
And with President Barack Obama about to sign an intelligence bill—the 2013 NDAA—that does nothing to reverse the expansion of executive power, which his administration has been defending in the courts, this will continue to be a key case to follow next year.

Duluth nurses represented by the Minnesota Nurses Association have voted to ratify a three-year contract with St. Luke's Hospital.
The association says it would raise wages 4.5 percent.
The contract covers 460 nurses, and is effective July 1, of this year, and runs through June 30, 2016. St. Luke's and the nurses reached a tentative labor agreement last week after bargaining over wages only.
In a news release from the association, a registered nurse and member of the bargaining team, said "I'm very pleased that the bargaining unit turned out and ratified the tentative agreement. We still have many day-to-day activities to work on, such as staffing and scheduling, practicing issues to keep our patients safe."

|Former Anaheim Council Member Bill Ehrle Passes Away After Long Illness
ANAHEIM, CA - (July 22, 2011) - Former Anaheim City Council member William D. "Bill" Ehrle has passed away after a long illness. He is survived by his children.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ehrle family during this difficult time," said Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait. "He served our community with distinction and in doing so had a great vision for the future growth of Anaheim."
Ehrle, a second generation Anaheim resident, was an ardent supporter for the construction of the now-named Honda Center. The arena was constructed after he left public office, but he had the foresight to know an arena of this caliber would be a world-class sports and entertainment venue, and would complement Anaheim's existing venues such as Anaheim Stadium (now Angel Stadium of Anaheim), the Anaheim Convention Center, and Disneyland.
Ehrle was elected to the Anaheim City Council in a special election on June 2, 1987, re-elected to a four-year term on November 8, 1988, and served until November 1992. He served as Mayor Pro Tem from 1990-91 and 1991-92.
Ehrle received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from California State University, Fullerton and a Master of Arts degree in Administration from Chapman University. He taught American Government and Economics at Loara High School and Fullerton College and was Project Manager and Director of the Exploratory Learning Center, a site for experiments in education in Orange County. In addition to being president of his own educational consulting firm, he was also an active member of the Jail Action Committee, Kiwanis Club, Child Safety Foundation, Y.M.C.A., Anaheim Friends of the Library, Anaheim Hills Little League, Anaheim Hills Community Council and Anaheim Museum.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – On Wednesday, state education leaders and lawmakers met to discuss the safety of Alabama schools. As they met, one local school superintendent met with local leaders to explain new procedures implemented to keep students in Madison county safe.
It comes a few weeks after a perceived threat at Sparkman High School.
It also comes less than a month after watching images of a unimaginable situation play out at an elementary school in Connecticut. Now, the frightening possibility of it is prompting deep discussions of how likely it is that it could happen in an Alabama school.
Madison County School Superintendent David Copeland started his day by addressing the topic at a special breakfast for Madison County Commissioners.
"We do have some plans this summer to put some of our administrators through some safety training which i think will be real vital," said Copeland.
The meeting was at Sparkman High School, the place where a student's angry tweet about an argument touched off a panic among students and parents who feared something violent may be brewing.
Part of Copeland's message to the commissioners was the district learned from that situation and improved.
"Safety is our number one priority and we are doing everything we can to not only continue our very good plans but to improve those," said Copeland.
He added district leaders are now meeting more often with law enforcement to keep an even closer grip on what's happening among students on school grounds and off.
Parents of students at Sparkman High School criticized Copeland for not sending out an all-call message about the situation two weeks ago, which resulted in no violence.
Copeland said he acted on the advice of Madison County Sheriff's investigators, but said if he had to do it all again, he would have sent out a short message to reassure parents and students.

Centrosolar sells solar glass division; suffers devastating 2012 losses26. March 2013 | Top News, Industry & Suppliers, Investor news, Markets & Trends | By: Becky Beetz
Centrosolar Group AG will sell its solar glass division off, following a year of devastating financial losses. The Germany-based company has also postponed the publication of its annual report and announced the continuation of its restructuring measures.
The Munich-based photovoltaics company recorded provisional 2012 revenues of €€227 million, down 22% on the €293 million reaped in 2011, despite "slightly" increased module shipments. Of this, its solar glass operations achieved just €38.5 million on the back of increased competition, and lower market prices and volumes.
As such, Centrosolar has said it will sell the division off, meaning it will be reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. "In order to realise synergies in the latter area through the closer linking-up of the glass finishing lines to raw glass melting furnaces, it is intended to dispose of this division," said Centrosolar in a statement released.
After this adjustment, 2012 revenues totaled €188.9 million, again a loss of 19.5% on 2011's revenues, for the relevant operations, of €234.7 million. Falling prices were blamed for the decrease. 2012 EBITDA, meanwhile, tumbled from €-10.4 million in 2011 to €-16.4 million.
Net loss consequently slipped from €16.8 million to a very negative €73.6 million. After taxes, this hit €89.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents also fell from €25.9 million in 2011, to just €18.3 million in 2012; and group equity significantly from €79.2 million to €6.1 million.
Centrosolar has postponed the publication of its annual report. However, it said that the restructuring program announced on February 19, will continue. At the time, the company said it aimed to reduce debt burden of around €90 million by reducing staff numbers, closing sales offices, deferring upper management salaries and reorganizing finances.

A Blue Christmas
by Cyndi Hoelzle | December 18, 2013
Christmas got you down? Tired of all the fake snow and fa-la-la-la-la? Not everyone is full of holiday cheer this time of year, so we've compiled some of the most depressing yuletide songs to keep you company. Here are 35 tracks of December despair, from classic country weepers like "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)" to Tom Waits' poignant "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis." Warning: Language and spoilers. If anyone in your house still believes in Santa, you better put on headphones.

Other Texas Lottery Games
The Texas Lottery joined other states for Powerball in January 2010 after it was agreed that state lotteries could sell both Mega Millions and Powerball tickets. The draws for Powerball take place every Wednesday and Friday with players having to choose five main numbers from the range 1 to 59 and a Powerball from the numbers 1 to 39. There is also an option to participate in an additional multiplier game, Power Play.
The Texas Lottery has produced a number of MegaMillions winners since it started selling tickets for the game in 2003. Players are required to pick five main numbers between 1 and 56 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 46. There is an option to multiple lower prize tier winnings by pariticpating in the Megaplier that works in a similar way to the Powerballs' Power Play option. Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday.
Texas Two Step
Texas Two Step was introduced by the Texas Lottery in May 2011 and boasts a minimum jackpot amount of $200,000. Players are required to choose four main numbers from 1 to 35 and a bonus ball from 1 to 35. There are seven different prize tiers for the Texas Two Step and draws take place on Mondays and Thursdays.
Pick 3
Pick 3 was introduced by the Texas Lottery in October 1993 and there are twice daily draws for this game. To participate players have to choose three digits from 0-9 and then have numerous options of play available. Prizes for Pick 3 vary depending on the options chosen for play.
Daily 4
The Daily 4 game from the Texas Lottery is played twice a day from Monday to Saturday with players required to pick four single digit numbers from 0 to 9. Like Pick 3 there are a number of option to play with prizes varying dependent on the combination used for play.
Cash 5
Cash 5 plays every day from Monday through until Saturday with players required to choose 5 numbers from a field of 37. There are 5 prize tier levels in this game from the Texas Lottery.

Comparison of Voice F0 Responses to Pitch-Shifted Auditory
Feedback in Mandarin and English Speech
J Bauer, K Brooks, Y Xu, C Larson
Mandarin speakers rely on voice fundamental frequency (F0) within a syllable to linguistically distinguish words that are otherwise phonologically identical, whereas English speakers use voice F0 across syllables suprasegmentally. Given the strong linguistic importance placed on voice F0 in Mandarin, we hypothesized that Mandarin speakers would be more sensitive to altered pitch feedback compared to English speakers. To test this theory, voice F0 responses to pitch-shifted auditory feedback were elicited in six Mandarin and fourteen English subjects during speech, and voice F0 response parameters were measured as an index of voice auditory feedback sensitivity. Contrary to our hypothesis, response magnitudes were similar in English and Mandarin (60 - 80 cents). However, responses in both English and Mandarin speech were larger than responses during sustained vowel productions. Thus, both languages appear to be equally sensitive to altered pitch feedback regardless of the role F0 plays in speech (linguistic versus suprasegmental). The larger responses in speech compared to sustained vowels suggests this reflexive system may be modulated according to vocal task. The limitation of response magnitudes to ~80 cents may further suggest an upper limit of the ability of the system to respond to altered pitch feedback.

Did you watch that video we posted yesterday, the one of the fierce kid in a snuggie doing Beyonce? It undoubtedly deserves all sorts of awards for it's attention to detail and good humor, but it just earned something better yet: the high praise of Beyoncé herself, who thinks that he-so-fierce "did this video better than I did." She wrote just that on her blog, adding also a smiley face emoticon and a "Love, B" for good measure.
We aren't wont to disagree with the Queen B — we really do think, like she, that this kid's video is "brilliant"! — but here we were believing for all this time that she had done it perfectly. And we still do, all the more so now that we know that she's got a good sense of humor about it. We would love to see the two work together. Is it too late to nominate that kid and his snuggie for the next round of VH1 Divas?

The crazy partySeptember 21,2013Early this year, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, made headlines by telling his fellow Republicans that they needed to stop being the stupid party. Unfortunately, Jindal failed to offer any constructive suggestions about how they might do that. And, in the months that followed, he himself proceeded to say and do a number of things that were, shall we say, not especially smart.
Nonetheless, Republicans did follow his advice. In recent months, the GOP seems to have transitioned from being the stupid party to being the crazy party.
I know, Im being shrill. But as it grows increasingly hard to see how, in the face of Republican hysteria over health reform, we can avoid a government shutdown and maybe the even more frightening prospect of a debt default the time for euphemism is past.
It helps, I think, to understand just how unprecedented todays political climate really is.
Divided government in itself isnt unusual and is, in fact, more common than not. Since World War II, there have been 35 Congresses, and in only 13 of those cases did the presidents party fully control the legislature.
Nonetheless, the U.S. government continued to function. Most of the time divided government led to compromise; sometimes to stalemate. Nobody even considered the possibility that a party might try to achieve its agenda, not through the constitutional process, but through blackmail by threatening to bring the federal government, and maybe the whole economy, to its knees unless its demands were met.
True, there was the government shutdown of 1995. But this was widely recognized after the fact as both an outrage and a mistake. And that confrontation came just after a sweeping Republican victory in the midterm elections, allowing the GOP to make the case that it had a popular mandate to challenge what it imagined to be a crippled, lame-duck president.
Today, by contrast, Republicans are coming off an election in which they failed to retake the presidency despite a weak economy, failed to retake the Senate even though far more Democratic than Republican seats were at risk, and held the House only through a combination of gerrymandering and the vagaries of districting. Democrats actually won the popular ballot for the House by 1.4 million votes. This is not a party that, by any conceivable standard of legitimacy, has the right to make extreme demands on the president.
Yet, at the moment, it seems highly likely that the Republican Party will refuse to fund the government, forcing a shutdown at the beginning of next month, unless President Barack Obama dismantles the health reform that is the signature achievement of his presidency. Republican leaders realize that this is a bad idea, but, until recently, their notion of preaching moderation was to urge party radicals not to hold America hostage over the federal budget so they could wait a few weeks and hold it hostage over the debt ceiling instead.
Now theyve given up even on that delaying tactic. The latest news is that John Boehner, the speaker of the House, has abandoned his efforts to craft a face-saving climbdown on the budget, which means that were all set for shutdown, possibly followed by debt crisis.
How did we get here?
Some pundits insist, even now, that this is somehow Obamas fault. Why cant he sit down with Boehner the way Ronald Reagan used to sit down with Tip ONeill? But ONeill didnt lead a party whose base demanded that he shut down the government unless Reagan revoked his tax cuts, and ONeill didnt face a caucus prepared to depose him as speaker at the first hint of compromise.
No, this story is all about the GOP. First came the southern strategy, in which the Republican elite cynically exploited racial backlash to promote economic goals, mainly low taxes for rich people and deregulation. Over time, this gradually morphed into what we might call the crazy strategy, in which the elite turned to exploiting the paranoia that has always been a factor in American politics Hillary killed Vince Foster! Obama was born in Kenya! Death panels! to promote the same goals.
But now were in a third stage, where the elite has lost control of the Frankenstein-like monster it created.
So now we get to witness the hilarious spectacle of Karl Rove in The Wall Street Journal, pleading with Republicans to recognize the reality that Obamacare cant be defunded. Why hilarious? Because Rove and his colleagues have spent decades trying to ensure that the Republican base lives in an alternate reality defined by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. Can we say hoist with their own petard?
Of course, the coming confrontations are likely to damage America as a whole, not just the Republican brand. But, you know, this political moment of truth was going to happen sooner or later. We might as well have it now.

Below is the poem entitled Gospel of my Soul part II which was written by poet
Huether. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Amber Huether
Every time you leave the house,
i wonder where you go.
not because i think you'll wander,
just because i want to know.
If i know where you're going,
and when you're set to return,
then i know that you can't leave me,
and wont leave my heart to yearn.
I know you think my trust is lack
and maybe all-together gone.
but just understand the pain i have
for the past that has gone wrong.
when i was younger,
and my mother left me cold.
I never knew the pain it would cause,
until now, when the scars are old.
in my heart i whisper softly,
am I that easily left behind?
is there some greatness i am missing,
is this love of a different kind?
The questions wander slowly,
and linger until they are gone.
What was so bad about me?
What did i do wrong?
And then my heart comforts me,
and sings a song about lessons learned.
So that one day when i have kids,
i won't regret the corners i've turned.
But soon the blackness creeps again,
and it gets within my head
and it starts to beg the question,
where WAS, better off instead?
I shove away the feelings,
and bury them where they're dead.
and try to ignore the scars they left
where WAS, better to live instead?
and here's the riddle to the puzzle,
the flames behind the pain,
the question burning so deep within,
it leaves me falling short of sane.
If the doe could abandon her fawn,
and leave her vulnerable and weak,
whats to stop everyone from running,
but the standing still of feet?
If the one who loves unconditionally,
puts conditions upon her love,
it drops the bar that sets the standard,
and leaves a question to rise above?
what's to stop him leaving?
is his love gunna hold him here.
if it didn't work for the mamma,
well, you understand my fear.
as soon as i fear the fleeing,
and i fear being left in solitude,
my world begins crumbling,
and the destruction is of magnitude.
I leave him constantly reassuring me,
"no, i'm here to stay",
but even as a mother's proved,
anyone can walk away.
So whats keeping him loyal to loving me?
what keeps him from kicking up dust
I'll over love and over compensate
until its all i can do, i must.
but this love life thats got me fearing
is incredible and keeps me alive.
I'm just waiting for the letting go
when this rooted fear can finally subside.

By: Ray Levato
The campaign for the 25th congressional seat has gone from heated to a possible criminal investigation. Congresswoman Louise Slaughter is now asking the attorney general to investigate her opponent, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks.
This has to do with the county awarding a contract to a company with ties to the Brooks' administration. State comptroller Tom DiNapoli faulted the contract for what he called backdoor borrowing and Mrs. Slaughter says that's evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Congresswoman Slaughter cites the recent audit of Monroe County's awarding of a $212 million, 20-year contract to a company called Navitech. Navitech is a company headed by Stephen Gleason, a former county finance director. Democrats say it was a sweetheart deal because Navitech knew intimate details of what the bid was specifically going to ask for - eliminating other companies' bid.
Congresswoman Slaughter said, "Now the comptroller's report is clear as it was in audits before, this bid was rigged. This bid was rigged. The comptroller says as far as he can tell county employees are still doing the work. So where does this money go. $20 million is totally unaccounted for. But $39-million the taxpayers are on the hook for."
Ray Levato said, "Are you alleging criminal conduct on the part of Mrs. Brooks or any member of her administration.
Slaughter said, "I'm telling you that rigging a bid is illegal. And the comptroller has pointed out a lot of evidence here that that bid was rigged."
Brooks's campaign in response called Slaughter an entrenched Washington insider and her call for an investigation is unsubstantiated.
"The only scandal in this race is Louise Slaughter being found guilty of lying to voters by three independent fact checks, including the Fair Election Practices Committee.
News10NBC asked Nazareth College political science professor Dr. Tim Kneeland to comment on the Slaughter charges.
Dr.Kneeland, Nazareth College Political Science Professor, said, "This is not uncommon. So you make a campaign ad and you claim in this case some corruption or something, in Maggie Brooks' administration. Things for example, contracts to different companies that the Brooks's campaign says they were the most competent people to handle these services. And the comptroller says we overspent. That may be misjudgment. It doesn't necessarily mean corruption or scandal. "
The attorney general's has been investigating various aspects of the Brooks's administration for a year. But in this case, News10NBC checked this with the state comptroller's office and a spokesman confirmed that the comptroller's recent audit of Monroe County does not include any recommendation that the attorney general investigate anything.

In plasma/water cutting, in order to reduce the space required, it is suggested to construct the thermal cutting jet device so that water, required particularly to constrict the plasma jet, is removed by means of an annular suction nozzle or a ring of annular suction bores arranged around the thermal cutting jet device. In order to reduce the resulting noise, a spraying device can be arranged around the annular suction nozzle whose water is fed back to a tank either by a suction device for the cutting jet device, or by an additional suction device.
1. A machine for processing flat workpieces comprising:
a support;
a cutting jet nozzle connected to said support for discharging a cutting jet downwardly to cut a workpiece at a cutting location spaced above a workpiece to be cut;
liquid nozzle means connected to said support for discharging a liquid stream concentrically of the cutting jet, said liquid nozzle means mounted concentrically of said cutting jet nozzle;
drive means connected to said support for moving a workpiece in the plane of the workpiece and past said jet nozzle; and
suction means connected to said support and concentrically mounted around said jet nozzle, and including suction nozzle means concentric of said jet nozzle for drawing up gas and liquid from the cutting area, said suction nozzle means being positioned closer to a workpiece to be cut than said jet nozzle during discharge of said cutting jet so as to place said suction nozzle means as close as possible to a workpiece to be cut.
2. A machine according to claim 1, wherein said suction nozzle means has an imaginary central plane in the shape of a truncated cone converging toward said jet nozzle.
3. A machine according to claim 1, wherein said suction nozzle means comprises an annular suction nozzle having opposite annular converging walls toward a workpiece to be cut, said annular suction nozzle converging radially inwardly toward said jet nozzle.
4. A machine according to claim 1, wherein said suction nozzle means comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced individual suction nozzles distributed around said jet nozzle, said suction nozzles converging toward said jet nozzle and each suction nozzle having sidewalls converging toward a workpiece to be cut.
5. A machine according to claim 1, wherein said suction means comprises a pipe having said suction nozzle means defined therein, a ring conduit defined in said pipe communicating with said suction nozzle means and concentric around said jet nozzle, a suction line connected to said ring and a suction pump connected to said suction line.
6. A machine according to claim 1, including a pipe movably mounted in said support carrying at least a portion of said suction means and carrying said suction nozzle means, said pipe concentrically mounted around said jet nozzle, said jet nozzle movable with said pipe, said pipe displaceable to vary the distance between said jet nozzle and said suction nozzle means with a workpiece to be cut.
7. A machine according to claim 6, wherein said pipe has a face adapted to bear against and support a workpiece to be cut, said face disposed at a free lower end of said pipe.
8. A machine according to claim 7, wherein a suction inlet end of said suction nozzle means extends up to said free end face of said pipe.
9. A machine according to claim 1, including spray means connected to said support and concentrically mounted around said suction nozzle means for discharging a curtain of water around said jet nozzle.
10. A machine according to claim 9, including additional suction means connected to said support and concentrically mounted around said spray means for drawing water of the water curtain away from the cutting area.
11. A machine according to claim 9, wherein said suction nozzle means are shaped to additionally draw water from the water curtain discharged by said spray means away from the cutting area.
12. A machine according to claim 1, including mechanical cutting means mounted to said support at a lateral spacing from said jet nozzle for mechanically processing a flat workpiece.
The present invention relates in general to plate cutting devices, and in particular to a new and useful processing machine for flat, particularly plate-shaped workpieces, which uses a thermal cutting jet device, particularly a plasma-cutting device, where the cutting jet device has an opening for the cutting jet and an opening concentric thereto, for the issuance of a liquid.
Such processing machines are already known, particularly as plasma cutting machines. Both a flame-cutting jet, hence a plasma jet, and a liquid jet, which surrounds the plasma jet concentrically issue from nozzles of these machines. The liquid jet has the function, on the one hand, of cooling the nozzle, and on the other hand, of constricting the plasma jet. This leads to an increase of the energy concentration in the jet, and has a number of advantages that are already known in the industry. The workpiece to be processed is carried on supports having a water-filled tank. The plasma water jet, which emerges on the underside of the workpiece when the workpiece is cut, is conducted directly into the water of the tank, where it cools off, while the water absorbs the gases, vapors and combustion residues carried along in the jet. It is readily understandable that the maximum size of the workpieces to be processed depends on the size of the tank since the nozzle moves over the workpieces to make the cuts. If this machine is designed for relatively large workpieces, it will require an enormous space. This is actually not justified for the processing of small workpieces, and any machine size will therefore represent principally a compromise solution. In one case it is unnecessarily larger, in another it will possibly be too small for processing a larger workpiece.
An object of the invention is to provide a processing machine of the above-described type which occupies as little a space as possible, while it imposes no limitations on the size of the workpiece, that is, it permits the processing of at least plate-shaped workpieces of the currently available maximum size.
For the solution of this size problem, the invention provides a processing machine which comprises means for moving a workpiece under a jet nozzle and suction means to the gases and liquid used.
In contrast to conventional "water-plasma cutting", the cutting jet device of the invention stands still in this processing machine, and the workpiece is displaced relative to the cutting nozzle and with the plane of the workpiece. The water, plasma and gases applied over the cutting jet device on the workpiece are not conducted into a tank, but are drained off again immediately, so that this processing machine requires very little space. The space requirement corresponds, for example, to that of a conventional stamping or nibbling machine on which plate shaped workpieces are processed mechanically.
The device for moving the workpiece within its plane can therefore be designed exactly as in conventional stamping and/or nibbling machines, so that no further explanation is set forth here. A cross support-type adjusting device is preferred, as is described and represented schematically in the shown embodiment. The maximum workpiece size is therefore determined exclusively by the maximum amount of longitudinal and transverse displacement which can be provided by a workpiece displacement device. The costs for draining the water are minimal, and insignificant compared to those incurred with a tank. Another advantage is that, due to the layout of a stamping or nibbling machine, such a machine can easily be extended or retrofit with a thermal cutting device to form a combined machine.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an imaginary central face or cross sectional plane of a suction nozzle or the center lines of suction bores have the form of a truncated cone or rest on an imaginary truncated cone whose smaller diameter is associated with the workpiece support. That is the opposite annular walls of the annular nozzle converge toward workpiece 3. In this way, an outwardly and upwardly directed suction effect is produced, which ensures good drainage. Whether an annular suction nozzle or a ring of suction bores should be used, depends on the specific case and also depends to a certain extent on the size and power of the respective cutting device.
In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one suction pipe connected to a suction device opens into the inner end of the suction nozzle or into a ring conduit connecting suction bores, which can have at least partly the form of a fixed channel. It is also possible to design at least a part of the channel as a flexible hose line, particularly when the suction nozzle or the suction bores are arranged according to another embodiment of the invention on a pipe, concentrically surrounding the thermal cutting jet device, which is displaceable in the direction of its longitudinal axis. In this case, at least the part of the suction bore is moved with the pipe which is provided therein or secured thereon. The displaceability of the suction nozzle or suction bores permits the adaptation of the suction device to the space conditions provided by the workpiece and the cutting jet device. In addition, the suction device can be brought close to the workpiece, so that the suction can be optimally adjusted.
When not in use, for example, when workpieces are exchanged, the suction device can be lifted so that it is neither in the way nor can it be damaged. A particular advantage is that the free end of the displaceable pipe forms a supporting surface for the workpiece without limiting the mobility of the workpiece. The suction effect is therefore displayed solely in the space defined by the workpiece, the adjustable pipe, and the cutting jet nozzle.
The inlet opening of the suction nozzle or of the suction bores extends according to another feature of the invention, up to the free end of the displaceable pipe, so that they can drain off the water along the part of the workpiece underneath the pipe.
According to another preferred form of the invention, the suction device is surrounded concentrically by an annular spraying device for the production of a tubular water curtain. The curtain absorbs the noise, which is unavoidable in flame cutting, particularly in plasma cutting, so that this design considerably reduces the impairment of working conditions near the machine. In this connection another embodiment of the invention provides a suction device for the spray liquid which is arranged concentrically to the spraying device. This suction device is actually more important than that of the cutting jet liquid, because normally more spray liquid is required than cutting jet liquid.
Since the amount of spray liquid obtained per unit of time is not negligible and a collecting tank is deliberately not provided, the spray liquid must also be drained off. This can be done by means of the second suction device, or according to another feature of the invention, in that the suction device for the cutting jet liquid forms at the same time the suction device for the spray liquid. It requires only an additional suction nozzle or additional suction bores whose inner ends can also be connected, for example, to the ring conduit of the suction bores for the cutting jet liquid. The use of a double suction device need not necessarily be equally expedient in each embodiment. It depends on the specific case, on the respective amounts of water, the power of the suction device, and on various other components.
If a separate suction device is used for the spray liquid, it is preferably arranged concentrically outside the spraying device for sound absorption purposes. An apron or a sealing ring can be provided at an even larger diameter if necessary which bears on the workpiece during the operation.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide such a machine for processing flat workpieces which comprises, a support, jet nozzle means connected to the support for discharging a cutting jet for cutting the workpiece in a cutting area, liquid nozzle means connected to the support for discharging a liquid stream concentric with the cutting jet, concentrically mounted around the jet nozzle means, drive means for moving the workpiece in the plane thereof passed the jet nozzle means, and suction means connected to the support and concentric with the jet nozzle means, suction means including suction nozzle means concentric with the jet nozzle means for drawing up liquid and gases formed at the cutting area.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a machine which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
In the Drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the processing machine in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational view partially in section of the nozzle parts of the device in FIG. 1.
Turning to the drawings in particular, the invention embodied therein, in FIG. 1 comprises, a machine for processing flat workpieces 3 which includes a machine support or body 1 which carries a cutting device 17 for cutting workpiece 3.
An X-Y coordinate guide device 2, for workpiece 3, is arranged on the C-shaped machine body 1, which comprises a longitudinal guide 4 and a transverse guide 5. Longitudinal guide 4 in turn consists of a guide rail 6 rigidly connected with machine body 1, and of a carriage 8 mounted for displacement in the direction of double arrow 7. The displacement is achieved preferably by means of a driving motor 9 which turns a pinion 10. The pinion 10 engages teeth of guide rail 6 which is designed as a rack.
Carriage 8 also carries a second driving motor 11 with pinion 12. Its teeth mesh with those of a bearing rail 13, which is likewise designed, at least partly, as a rack or holds such a rack. By means of the second driving motor 11, bearing rail 13 can be moved back and forth in the direction of double arrow 14. The directions of motion 7 and 14 are perpendicular to each other.
In bearing rail 13 are arranged preferably two pairs of claws 15 between which the plate-shaped workpiece 3, which may be sheet metal, is clamped, and of which one is shown in FIG. 1. It is readily understandable that the workpiece moves, by means of driving motor 11, in the direction of double arrow 14. If both motors 9, 11, run simultaneously, the result is a superposed longitudinal and transverse movement. Workpiece 3 bears in addition on bottom part 16 of a thermal cutting jet device 17, particularly a plasma-cutting device, whose top part is deisgnated 18. The jet device comprises a cutting jet nozzle 19, from which the cutting jet issues, and impinges on top side 20 of workpiece 3 and melts the workpiece at the respective point. Consequently the cutting jet issues again from underside 21 of the workpiece.
Cutting jet nozzle 19 (FIG. 2) comprises an electrode 22, which is surrounded at a distance by guide tube 23 which surmounts it toward workpiece 3 and forms a wind tunnel 24 for the gas required for jet cutting. A counter electrode may be the workpiece itself or any other known arrangement. The inner end of guide tube 23 is connected over a line (not shown) to a gas tank. A nozzle body 25 surrounds guide tube 23 concentrically and at a distance, so that a channel 26 is formed for the supply of water. At its outlet end 27, the central diameter of channel 26 narrows so that the water jet impinges obliquely on the plasma jet. This leads in a known manner, to a contriction of the plasma jet and thus to an increase of the energy density thereof.
As a result both the plasma jet and the tubular water jet surrounding the plasma jet, strike the top side 20 of workpiece 3. In order to prevent this water from flowing off uncontrollably, a suction device 28 is arranged in this processing machine concentrically to thermal cutting jet device 17. This is in addition to the device for moving the workpiece. An essential part of this suction device is an annular suction nozzle 29 or a corresponding ring of suction bores, where an imaginary face 30 has the form of a truncated cone, in analogy to outlet end 27 for the water. Accordingly, the central lines of the suction bores would bear on such an imaginary truncated cone whose smaller diameter is associated with the workpiece support.
The inner end of the annular suction nozzle forms or opens into a ring conduit 31 which is connected over a suction pipe 32 to a suction pump 33. A line 34 (FIG. 1) leads from the latter to liquid tank 35. In the case of an annular arrangement of suction bores, a ring conduit 31 is also required.
In order to be able to bring the suction bores as close as possible to top side 20 of workpiece 3, and to vary the distance between the workpiece and the end of the cutting jet nozzle, if necessary, the suction nozzle or the suction bores with ring conduit 31 and at least a part of suction pipe 32 are arranged on a pipe or piston 37 which can be moved up and down in the direction of double arrow 36, and which surrounds the thermal cutting jet device 17. Pipe 37 carries an outer collar 38, which permits the displacement in connection with a hydraulic or pneumatic working cylinder 39. The free end 40 of the adjustable pipe forms a preferably plane supporting surface which bears somewhat tightly on top side 20 of the workpiece. It is seen from FIG. 2 that the inlet opening 41 of the suction nozzle or of the suction bores extends substantially up to the free end of the displaceable pipe, that is, approximately up to the free end 40 of displaceable pipe 37.
Suction device 28 is surrounded concentrically according to another feature of the invention by an annular spraying device 42 for the production of a tubular water curtain at 43. The spraying device is designed in a similar manner as suction device 28, but with the difference that line 44 is a feed pipe for the water from which the water curtain is to be formed. But because the water of the latter should not flow off uncontrolled, the annular spraying device 42 is surrounded with a second suction device 45, which corresponds principally to suction device 28. But this second suction device and the spraying device can also be made adjustable, if necessary, in the direction of double arrow 36. If suction device 28 is powerful enough, the water of the annular spraying device 42 can also be removed over suction device 28, as indicated symbolically by dot-dashed lines 50 in FIG. 2, or it can at least support this way the second suction device 45. Lines 50 show an additional annular opening or ring of bores which communicate with ring 31 in this case.
Pump 46 (FIG. 1) supplies water over line 47 into channel 26. Supply line 44 of annular spraying device 42 is supplied with pressurized water over a schematically represented branch line 48. In a similar manner, suction pipe 49 can be connected with suction pipe 32 in a manner not shown here, so that the water of water curtain 43 can likewise be drained off by means of suction pump 33.
Thermal cutting jet device 17 can advantageously be arranged at a lateral distance from a stamping or nibbling device shown schematically at 51, of the processing machine. In this case, the workpiece can be treated with this processing machine not only mechanically, but also alternately or additionally, thermally.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.

It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.And that's when you met me."What... what happened?" You asked. "Where am I?""You died," I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words."There was a... a truck and it was skidding...""Yup," I said."I... I died?""Yup. But don't feel bad about it. Everyone dies," I said.
You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. "What is this place?" You asked. "Is this the afterlife?""More or less," I said."Are you god?" You asked."Yup," I replied.
"You just died and your main concern is for your family. That's good stuff right there."You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn't look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty."Don't worry," I said. "They'll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way.
They didn't have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it's any consolation, she'll feel very guilty for feeling relieved."
"When I get reborn, I'll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won't matter."
"You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don't remember them right now."
"Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It's like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it's hot or cold.
You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you've gained all the experiences it had.
"You've been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven't stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you'd start remembering everything. But there's no point to doing that between each life."
"Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives." I said. "This time around, you'll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD."
"Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.""Where you come from?" You said."Oh sure," I explained "I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you'll want to know what it's like there, but honestly you wouldn't understand.""Oh," you said, a little let down. "But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point."
"Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don't even know it's happening."
"Seriously?" I asked. "Seriously? You're asking me for the meaning of life? Isn't that a little stereotypical?"
"Well it's a reasonable question," you persisted.I looked you in the eye. "The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature."
"No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect."
"There is no one else," I said. "In this universe, there's just you and me."You stared blankly at me. "But all the people on earth...""All you. Different incarnations of you.""Wait. I'm everyone!?""Now you're getting it," I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back."I'm every human being who ever lived?""Or who will ever live, yes."
"And you're John Wilkes Booth, too," I added."I'm Hitler?" You said, appalled."And you're the millions he killed."
"I'm Jesus?""And you're everyone who followed him."You fell silent."Every time you victimized someone," I said, "you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."You thought for a long time."Why?" You asked me. "Why do all this?"
"Because someday, you will become like me. Because that's what you are. You're one of my kind. You're my child."
"No. Not yet. You're a fetus. You're still growing. Once you've lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born."
"An egg." I answered. "Now it's time for you to move on to your next life."And I sent you on your way.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Lyndon Haviland is senior strategy fellow at Aspen Global Health and Development. The opinions expressed are her own.
On Saturday April 7th, Joyce Banda became Africa's second sitting female president. As President of Malawi, Banda succeeds Bingu wa Mutharika who died of cardiac complications last week.
Once hailed as the "Economist in Chief" Mutharika leaves Malawi impoverished with some of the worst maternal health indicators on the continent – and with many donors, the United States and Britain included, having suspended aid.
President Banda offers women in Africa a second chance to experience women's leadership (Liberia President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's recent Nobel Peace Prize demonstrates what can happen when women lead) – and for the women of Malawi that cannot come soon enough.
- Read a blog Joyce Banda wrote for our sister site TrustLaw Women
A long time advocate for women's health, education and gender equality, Banda offers women in Malawi hope for a better future.
As a founding member of the Aspen Institute's Global Leaders Council for Reproductive Health, Banda has been working on the international stage to accelerate progress toward universal access to reproductive health.
The international community should rally to support her – and offer women and children of Malawi the chance for a healthier future through new funds to support family planning and comprehensive reproductive health.
President Banda knows that access to education and health will change a girl's future economic and social prospects – girls who stay in school marry later, have fewer children and go on to contribute more fully to the economic development of their communities and nations.
Her own life experience provides testimony to the importance of investing in girl's education, and providing access to health services including family planning.
Through her Foundation, President Banda has made training women entrepreneurs, and providing nutrition and education for orphans and vulnerable children (many orphaned by HIV/AIDS) a priority.
With support from donors, she has the opportunity to take her programs to scale – perhaps even making Malawi the first country in Africa to achieve universal access to reproductive health and have zero HIV positive births by 2015.
Donors can help Malawi achieve these goals by securing funding and technical support to meet the unmet need for family planning and and prevent mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.
Although Malawi has made rapid progress on scaling up family planning services, they cannot meet the needs of women and children due to lack of funding for basic family planning supplies.
On PMTCT, in 2011, Malawi adopted a radical public health approach to PMTCT that similarly has not been implemented for lack of funds.
Malawi's plans are women centred and make good public health sense. In PMTCT, Malawi takes the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendations one step further and offers a new plan called B+.
Malawi's B+ protocol for PMTCT is elegant and simple – it takes a public health approach and places the women at the centre of care.
B+ simplifies the guidance for caring for HIV positive pregnant women. In a bold move that makes treatment a form of prevention.
Malawi's B+ approach will provide lifelong anti-retroviral therapy to all pregnant women who are HIV positive. The plan puts the mother's overall health and well being at the centre – and links her survival and well being to that of her children.
President Banda's own foundation has long recognized that maternal health is essential to family health – and children who are orphaned due to HIV are vulnerable in many ways.
Working with the government of Malawi to build and deliver their PMTCT B+ plan could be a first step in imagining a healthy future for the women and children of Malawi.
Donors should get a failing grade if we do not seize on the opportunity to support President and the women of Malawi in this moment of transition.

MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition- A lot of power for few bucks
The GPU's in the middle range that have a price tag ranging from 80 up to 120 euros offer great price to power ratio, so the manufacturers try to offer as much as they can, for as little as possible. In this category are a lot of models that had at least 20 to 50% bigger price tag when they came out, but were there for a while, so the price tag went down.
MSI has introduced a version of the GTX 650Ti card, signed as Power Edition or PE. Continue reading

Google Nexus 10 – Is It The One We Were Hoping For?
This summer we were amazed by the tablet that Google introduced with cooperation with Asus, their little wonder the 7 inch Nexus. This tablet blew every one away with the amazing specifications incorporated in that small package and the starting price of about $200. Now, Google has introduced the bigger brother, which was made incorporation with Samsung which has a lot to say for itself, even though it is a bit slower than the smaller one.
So what is new here? Continue reading
The Clash Of The Middle Class – Part 7 – XFX Radeon HD 7770 Black Edition
The last of the cards in this test comes from the American manufacturer XFX. The tested model is a part of their Black Edition, which defers from the rest of their offer by the great cooling technology Duratec, which incorporates high quality coils with a ferrite core. Their card looks appealing with the impeccably designed cooler that has a shield made out of brushed aluminum. In the price range of the Radeon HD 7770 this is really a rare thing, because the choice of material usually goes to plastic. Continue reading
The Clash Of The Middle Class – Part 6 – HIS Radeon HD 7770 IceQ X Turbo
The next card comes from the manufacturer HIS, which is not so well known, but it has a lot to offer. The card has their IceQ X suffix, which was formerly well known among the cooling systems of GPU's as the DirectCU is now.
The first thing to notice on this card is the cooler that is very similar to the one used by Sapphire. Continue reading
The Clash Of The Middle Class – Part 5 – Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 Vapor-X
As we said this is the second part of the comparison, where the opposition will be shown. It is firstly represented by the leader in AMD GPU production- the Sapphire 7770 card, which has been equipped in the Vapor-X clotting, even though this was formerly reserved for the high end cards.
Because Cape Verde- the chip that is on the HD 7700 is a low consumer chip, Sapphire has designed a reduced version of their cooler Vapor-X, while keeping the main characteristics the same. Continue reading
The Clash Of The Middle Class – part 4 – Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB and 2GB Version
For the test we have chosen 2 GPU's by Palit that are identical to each other, with the only difference being the dedicated RAM memory provided. Palit's GPU's look a lot simpler than the Asus GPU. Firstly, the cooler has the same dimensions as the board, so its overall size is almost half than the DirectCU II. The plastic cover hides only one fan that belongs to the TurboFan Blade family, which has a bigger cooling capability than a regular fan and produces less noise. Underneath it has a simple aluminum body that has a lot of ribs. The lack of heatpipes, copper parts and any other advanced tech is more than obvious. Continue reading

Fifty Proof's Best Shot Wins Eclipse Stakes
Fifty Proof earned his first graded stakes win when he disposed of odds-on favorite Exhi on the final turn and held on for a half-length win in the $175,871 Eclipse Stakes (Can-III) at odds of 10-1 at Woodbine May 28 (VIDEO).
"He's still a big, fairly dumb horse, Black said. "Today he was fine. Before today, we were kind of looking at the King Edward (June 25, at one mile on the grass, for his next start). To be perfectly honest, he's always worked well out here (on Polytrack) but I wasn't 100 per cent that he was quite as good on the Poly. But he proved today that it doesn't matter. It was a wonderful performance. I'm very proud of him."
Fifty Proof, meanwhile opened a clear lead in the lane and finished well under steady urging. Don Cavalo was all out late to make it fairly close at the wire.
"He was really keen last time. I think he and I were both caught up in the moment. But today, he was a little more focused," said Stein. "Exhi was emptying out and 'Fifty' was just lengthening his stride. But I didn't want to take any run out of him. I kind of just cruised by (Exhi)."
