How long will I have before I go into labor after my stomach drops?
I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I noticed last week that my stomach has dropped. My husband and a few other people have noticed it as well and I was wondering how long do I have left before I deliver. My doctors are worried because I have to much fluid around the baby. I think 15-20 is normal. My doctors tell me I have 32 and there's a risk of preterm labor. Should I be worried? Or should I just take it easy and just be prepared to go to the hospital?

How does it take to go into labor when your belly drops ?posted 11/26/2014 by Jakell2014
They told me it was severe and there is a risk for the baby to be still born. I didn't know that anything could be done I've just been going to have an ultrasound every couple of weeks to check on her. The last ultrasound I went to she was perfect. Everything is right on track. No birth defects, I tested negative for gestational diabetes and pre-existing. I've read about the cord prolapse. They did tell me at my last appointment that I'll be doing fetal stress test from now on. It's not so much as decreased in size it's just closer to my pelvic area now. The only thing i've noticed is a can breath easier but I have to use the bathroom alot more. I've been having menstrual like cramping but I was told that was probably BH. And for the last couple of weeks i've been getting nausea randomly but their not worried so i'm not.posted 12/30/2011 by tessasweat
32 is severe polyhydramnios. Have you been offered an amnio? Have you had an advanced level ultrasound to carefully assess the baby to rule out a birth defect? Do you have poorly controlled gestational diabetes or pre-existing diabetes? I don't mean to alarm you but severe polyhydramnios (definition 30 and over) is worrisome. Sometimes an explanation is never found or not found until birth. From a labor point of view, if your water breaks at home you need to get to the hospital ASAP as you would be at higher risk of a cord prolapse. Hopefully your belly size decreasing means the amniotic fluid level has lessened. I'm sure your doctors will follow up with another ultrasound to follow it as you may end up getting induced. I hope all goes well.posted 12/30/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Im at 37weeks and my baby has been dropped for 3weeks. Take it easy and try not to stress yourself. You don't want to go preterm. Once you hit 37weeks your baby is considered full term. Good luck.posted 12/30/2011 by kimd1985

North Carolina has awarded a $1.8 million contract to a Pennsylvania company to repair a bridge that provides Hatteras Island with its only land link to the mainland.
The D.O.T. says crews with American Bridge Co. in Corapolis, Pa., will begin work later this month.
The 2.7-mile-long Bonner Bridge was built in 1962 and has exceeded its expected lifespan. The state has spent $26.5 million in the last decade to fix deterioration caused by constant exposure to salt, strong currents and wind.
Last year, the North Carolina Department of Transportation awarded a $216 million contract to build a new bridge. That construction is expected to be finished in 2015.

Diisocyanates are a family of chemical building blocks mainly used to make polyurethane products, such as rigid and flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers. Many of the products we rely upon every day are safer and more comfortable through the use of polyurethanes made possible by diisocyanates.
Polyurethane chemistry is complex, but the basics are relatively easy to understand. Polyurethanes are produced by combining diisocyanates with polyols and other chemical additives. Because a variety of diisocyanates and a wide range of polyols can be used to produce polyurethane and the speed of the reaction can be adjusted, a broad spectrum of materials can be produced to meet specific application needs. Diisocyanates are important in the production of countless products, particularly in the transportation and construction industries.
Diisocyanates used in polyurethane production are divided into two types: aromatic diisocyanates and aliphatic diisocyanates.

Late June and early July are a season of anxiety in urban
India. Large numbers of students, who have completed their Class XII
examinations, and their parents, are on tenterhooks. The only exceptions are the
few who have already obtained admission into professional courses in engineering,
medicine or law through entrance exams that are an almost Darwinian selection process.
An overwhelming proportion of school leavers, however, seek admission to undergraduate
courses in social sciences, humanities, sciences and commerce. But undergraduate
colleges are mostly poor in provincial cities and simply do not have enough places
in metropolitan cities. Declining academic standards, everywhere, accentuate the
problem, as talented students migrate intensifying competition for places in good
At the University of Delhi, for example, those with 90% marks, or even 95%, cannot
be sure about getting admission to a college and subject of their choice, while
those with 70% marks can be sure that it is almost impossible for them to get admission.
Surprise turns into shock and anguish turns into despair. For those excluded, no
consolation can suffice. Yet, it is important to understand why this is happening.
It would seem that marks awarded to students in Class XII seem to increase year
after year. This is simply grade inflation. For a long time, the school examination
system was perceived to be subjective and error prone. In order to address this
problem, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) tried to make the examination
system as objective as possible to neutralise error or bias recognising the reality
that the quality, or conscientiousness, of teachers who graded scripts is so uneven.
In this endeavour, CBSE did succeed. But the objective nature of questions and answers
led to grade inflation.
With the passage of time, students helped by their schools and private tutors mastered
the art of writing CBSE examinations. Grade inflation gathered further momentum.
Excellence in performance went from 75% to 80% through 85% to 90% and beyond to
95% plus. It is not that students got so much better or brighter. Their grades rose
steadily, not only at the top but also across the board, even though the quality
of the top 1% or 5% of the students has not changed.
It is no surprise that cut-off points for admission to undergraduate courses rose
at the same pace as grade inflation. This was a consequence rather than a cause.
As marks obtained in Class XII exams, whether CBSE or state boards, have climbed
over time, so have cut-offs. And it is wrong to blame universities or their undergraduate
colleges, in Delhi or elsewhere in India, for this situation. If anything, universities
and colleges that adopt cut-offs in school leaving examinations as the criterion
for admission are transparent and fair, accountable to both students and parents,
in a system that is increasingly susceptible to intervention or manipulation.
The fundamental problem is different. It has two dimensions.
First, the number of school leavers seeking admission to undergraduate courses has
increased at an exponential rate. The underlying demographic factor of our increasing
young population is the driver. But the growing aspirations of the young also see
higher education as the only access to employment possibilities and social opportunities.
Second, the number of places in undergraduate education, apart from seats in substandard
private institutions, has registered little if any increase. The bottom line is
that we simply do not have enough capacity in terms of seats for undergraduate education
of an acceptable quality. It is obvious that we need to create far more opportunities
in higher education for young people. Until that happens, the situation can only
The problem of admissions is far more acute in the top 10, or 15, established undergraduate
colleges, particularly at the University of Delhi, where places are limited but
demand is enormous because these few institutions provide an imprimatur. Their brand
equity opens up a vista of opportunities for their graduates. They draw aspiring
students almost like magnets. Their attraction has become even stronger over time
because of the sorry state of institutions that were in the premier league not so
long ago. There has been a steady decline in these institutions outside Delhi, in
Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Allahabad, or even Patna. Thus, students from elsewhere
in India also flock to Delhi in search of educational opportunities. It is not that
the University of Delhi, or its colleges, have got better. It is just that others
have got worse.
What is to be done the challenge in undergraduate education is to increase opportunities
without diluting standards. This means increasing the number of places for students
in our megacities. But it is neither feasible nor desirable to expand capacities
by increasing the intake in existing colleges or the number of affiliated colleges
in existing universities. Both are already stretched beyond limits. And governments
center and states alike simply do not have the resources to finance such expansion.
It is imperative that we establish a central board, as also state boards, of undergraduate
education, which would set standards, curriculum and examinations. These boards
would be empowered to grant affiliations to undergraduate colleges, much like CBSE
does for schools. Such colleges could be established by the government, the private
sector, or public-private partnerships. The time has come to think big and think

If you're anything like me, you probably watched the series finale of Lost in real-time on Sunday evening. It was an event not unlike the Superbowl for me. I ate food prepared on an outdoor grill, I drank more beer than should be consumed by a regular human, and there was much yelling and screaming at the television. And like the Superbowl, there were a few special commercials.
It must be noted that all of the companies that advertised sunscreen during the Lost finale really missed a big marketing opportunity. "Stuck on an island? Use our new SPF 100…" This couldn't have been obvious to me and me alone. However, much credit goes to the marketers at Target, who unleashed a delightful trio of commercials that matched the various iconic elements of Lost — like the Smoke Monster, wild boars and the computer where believers enter in the numbers every 108 minutes. It was a lot of fun, and an experience you can relive below.
For more on the finale of Lost, be sure to read Genevieve's Definitive Guide to WTF Just Happened on Lost and/or head over to our Lost Series Finale Discussion to give us your own thoughts on the end of one of television's most memorable shows.

Born Under a Bad Sign
In a live chat, Prudie advises a woman whose husband wants to tell his family their baby died.
Q. Sick of Guests: My husband comes from a culture where hospitality is a deeply ingrained value. As a result we've frequently hosted relatives, friends, friends of friends, and even strangers from his home country. Some of them have even stayed for months at a time, and it is unthinkable to ask for money. The issue is that I am getting tired of endlessly hosting. I want privacy and quiet in my own home, and we've had some bad experiences with house guests in the past. My husband insists he will get a permanently bad reputation if we turn away guests, and since we've been saying yes, it will be even more insulting to start saying no. I want to be culturally sensitive since this is something that is very important to him, but this is driving me insane.
A: Oh, bring on the bad reputation. It's going to be the only way to save your sanity. Whatever the culture of his country, you're not in it, and you've got your own culture ("get out of my house!") to preserve. I sometimes think that one of the great engines of migration is people fleeing from societies with too much hospitality. Being on permanent hostess duty sounds like hell. Particularly since you married someone who has many family members, friends, and acquaintances apparently without jobs or homes who feel free to crash at your place for months (!) at a time. Tell him that this is a new year with new rules. Visits have to be approved in advance and lengths of stays will be severely curtailed. Explain that most of the time, your house will be free of guests. Tell him if it's not, it will be free of you.
Q. Re: About not reading your novel-in-progress: I'm a published novelist. My spouse reads my books once they are in print, never before. Not sure our marriage would have survived otherwise. If the budding writer needs a reader, she should find a critique group.
A: Thank you, J.K. Rowling, for weighing in! For some writers their spouse is their most important editor. For others, having the spouse stay away from the manuscript is essential to preserving the marriage. But no one benefits from a reluctant reader.
Q. Wanting a Simple Wedding: Ten years ago, I was engaged and planned a wedding, but we called it off at the last minute. At the time, my fiancé and I wanted to have a simple engagement and ceremony with very little traditional pomp. Under pressure from family and friends, we eventually caved and accepted engagement parties, registries, showers, etc. While some of it was fun, I regret not standing up to my family more. I'm now engaged again, and I personally would like to take this opportunity to have the simple engagement and wedding I always wanted. My fiancé, however, has never been engaged before. While obviously we've discussed some of our expectations, I'm worried that my position comes off as insensitive: I want to avoid all of the things I've already done. How do I make my stance clear to my fiancé and our families without seeming like a hypocrite?
A: If this were a coronation it would be hard to say, "I hate all this pomp and ceremony. Please just FedEx the crown to me." How you do your wedding is up to the two of you. This is probably the biggest joint enterprise you and your fiancé have undertaken to date, so that makes it a good way for you two to negotiate your preferences and learn to compromise. You don't even say that your fiancé has explained he wants to max out the celebration. If you're old enough to have broken off an engagement 10 years ago, then you certainly should have sufficient life skills to be able to make your desires known to your nearest and dearest with both sensitivity and certainty.
Q. Gifts and Holidays: I have been with my SO for three years. He is an amazing partner and I couldn't ask for a better match. The only time we run into some tensions is around the holiday/birthday time of year (our birthdays are just three days apart). I love presents and holidays and everything that goes along with them. I spend months planning and brainstorming the perfect gift. My SO on the other hand is a last-minute shopper. This would be fine, except for the fact that for a week or so leading up to said holiday, all I hear is "What do you want for X holiday?" I drop hints constantly. But I don't feel like I should have to pick out my own presents. He has wonderful taste and always gets me something great, but the bickering was almost intolerable this Christmas. Should I just throw in the towel and tell him what to get me? I enjoy the surprise and the excitement of a present and I feel like my SO is copping out.
A: For some people gifts are an essential part of expressing love. (This is laid out in the best-seller The Five Love Languages, which I acknowledge I haven't read.) But some people are not gift people and your SO is one. That doesn't mean he gets a pass and gets to stiff you. But you have to accept he will simply never share the pleasure you get in months of stalking the perfect gift. I think there's a compromise position for you to take. Guide him to what you want, but let him make the final decision. As your birthday or Christmas approaches, show him four or five things you would really like, and ask him to choose. I know this lacks the thrill of your knowing he's deeply thought about this, but your gift to him will be accepting that you are willing to compromise when it comes to exchanging presents.
Q. Re: Old girlfriend pictures: I ceremoniously ripped up photos of my one and only ex once we broke up because I couldn't stand looking at his face and had no good memories of our time together. When my husband and I moved in together, I found photos of his exes and asked why he was keeping them. He didn't have any bad times with his girlfriends, so he'd never had a reason to dispose of the photos. For him, they were just reminders of his past. I still thought he should get rid of the pictures, but he asked me one simple question that shut me up for good on the subject: "Who won?" I had won. These women were just pictures. I was the real thing.
A: Good for him and good for you!

Despite liking my GRR a lot, I'm considering moving to a Bacchetta Strada. I can't explain in any concrete terms why, but there it is.....
Comments? Advice?
Despite liking my GRR a lot, I'm considering moving to a Bacchetta Strada. I can't explain in any concrete terms why, but there it is.....
Comments? Advice?
Signature line for rent.
Remember: the answer to "how many bikes is too many?" is: N + 1 .
Jeff Wills
Comcast nuked my web page. It will return soon..
My only comment is it's your fault I want a TE (or GRR) in the first place~! I *could* offer a great home for an unloved GRR if it comes to that But I suspect the selling of the one is needed to get the other?
http://s1103.photobucket.com/albums/g475/Peter_CC/ <-- My Photos
Unloved GRR? Not really. The GRR has met all my needs and "desires" thus far but I just recently got an itch for something different. No idea what really started the itch, but it's there.
Test miles on a Strada - about 50. ~7 on a Large (wrong, wrong, wrong size and I could definitely tell by mile 2). The rest on a Medium (much better, more comfortable). Been "offered" a trade for/sale of a Giro ATT - problem is I'm a Clyde so the ATT won't work for me, which also eliminates consideration of a Corsa. Never ridden a Giro, or a Corsa.
N+1? Nope.. N = N... like I said, I'll sell the GRR if I decide to go with the Strada. No room to store more than 1 bike. No desire to have more than 1.
And yes, Peter_C, getting a new bike WILL require selling the one I have.. along with many of the accessories (GT-54s and the Strada don't seem to be made for each other, for example).
What kind of riding do you want to do on the Strada, and is it different riding from the GRR?
Signature line for rent.
What is GRR? Not Gerald R. Ford airport(GRR)I presume.
The bicycle is one of the great inventions of mankind. Delights children, challenges young men to feats of daring, and turns old men into boys again.--Me
1st.) I know you are planning on doing N=N and I can appreciate the multi-various reasons for wanting to do so.
2nd.) I am guilty of owning several bikes as I'm fortunate enough to have the storage capacity and other circumstances that allow me to do so. I am also currently looking to increase my riding experience to more of a SWB speedier bike so I also appreciate the desire to expand to or experience a different riding machine.
3rd.) My recommendation from my own experience is to go N + 1 temporarily until you are absolutely confident which machine fits your desires and needs the best. Be forewarned though, it may be a tough decision to make. Included in my modest fleet is a T.E. and a Volae Tour and I ride both of them a lot. Over the past three years I have only 300 more miles on one than I do the other!! I have several reasons why I enjoy them both and have no desire to part with either one of them.
Good hunting and please keep us posted on your decisions and results.
I'm kinda surprised there's so few comments... here or over on BROL.. about this. Stick bikes and LWBs being inherently different, I sure thought I'd get some interesting perspectives from people with more experience than myself.
Ah well.. now to find the right (price-wise) SWB/Strada as my brother has said he'll buy the GRR if it comes to that.

Coptic Unicode fonts, though still in their infancy, are beginning to come into their own.
They offer significant advantages over legacy fonts, such as those used on this site.
A number of special keyboard-mappings (called simply 'keyboards') have been and
are being developed to handle these fonts. One can even fairly easily create one's own
Coptic keyboard. This page is an effort to provide reliable and up-to-date information
about this developing field.
See also: Christian Askeland's Coptic Language Links
Coptic in the Unicode Standard
Within the Unicode Standard, Coptic letters are divided between the Greek Block and
the newer Coptic Block. Originally, the seven non-Greek letters (six Sahidic, one Bohairic)
were added to the Greek Block. Later, a Coptic Block was added to contain the Coptic form
of the Greek letters, plus other Coptic markings. The seven non-Greek letters, however,
remain in the Greek Block and are not duplicated in the Coptic Block.
Coptic in the Greek Block
The Coptic Block
Note on sorting problems: It is a natural assumption that the use of a Coptic Unicode font
will result in Coptic words sorting properly, but that is not always the case. Different
sorting (collation) algorithms are used by different software. Currently, Open Office sorts
the Coptic letters properly, but MS Office (at least since the 2003 version) places the seven
Coptic letters of the Greek block before, instead of after, the letters in the Coptic block.
Keyboards for Coptic Unicode
Unicode Coptic "keyboards" differ from each other in their key-mappings, and
particularly in how they handle the extra Coptic letters (there are 30 letters in Sahidic
Coptic, 31 in Bohairic, but only 26 alpha keys on an English keyboard). The Logos
keyboard uses a ctrl+alt+alpha combo for the extra letters. This causes problems with
some programs, but the device was carried over by Mastronarde, who used the Logos
keyboard as a basis for his own. Mastronarde's innovation was to use the shifted-alpha
keys for overlined letters, rather than for Coptic capitals, as in Logos. (The Coptic
capitals are larger, but don't differ in form from the unshifted letters. The Logos keyboard
has an overline key that is used for all letters.)
The Askeland keyboard, in addition to having a different Coptic-English mapping than
the Logos and Mastronarde keyboards, doesn't use the shifted-alpha keys for either
capital Coptic letters (Logos) or overlined letters (Mastronarde). Instead, it uses four
of the shifted-alpha keys for the extra Coptic letters, and the rest for other purposes.
This avoids the problems associated with ctrl+alt in the other keyboards. (Overlining
is accomplished with the shift-A key.)

Coptic Unicode Fonts (see also above note on sorting problems)
(This section under review; has not been updated since Dec 2010.)
Not all Unicode fonts contain the Coptic Block. Of those that do, some aren't
acceptable because they don't handle overlining properly. Even among those
that are acceptable, however, there are none where the English characters have
a professional look. (The fonts listed below are free unless otherwise noted.)

When Chicago Shakespeare Theater premieres "The
Adventures of Pinocchio" as part of its Family Series this summer,
you won't find a stage version of the Disney movie. According to
Creative Producer Rick Boynton, the company will turn its Courtyard
Theater stage into a larger-than-life Old World marionette theater
for this new musical adaptation. Considering that Carlo Collodi's
classic tale tells the story of a wooden puppet who longs to be a
boy, the use of puppetry makes perfect sense.
In development, Boynton and the rest of the creative team
found themselves asking, "What is it about puppets that Pinocchio
doesn't want to be?"
By staging the show among the inner workings of a puppet
theater, they could explore the relationship of puppet master to
puppet. Likewise, the audience experiences seamless shifts from
live actors portraying Geppetto and Pinocchio to different kinds of
puppets taking over the storytelling.
"Some of the play is better told through puppets. We hope
to draw audiences in and then transition to live actors," says
When deciding on shows for the Family Series, CST looks
for stories that are familiar to families, but also worth exploring
anew. In the case of "Pinocchio," Boynton says, "The original book
has a bit of a dark quality, but still with a bit of playfulness.
We've incorporated both sides." The production will keep Collodi's
series of vignettes, allegorical tales in which Pinocchio learns
lessons about obeying his father and doing the right
Boynton says the show will be enjoyable for both children
and adults.
"Theater that is appropriate and good for children must be
the same for adults. It needs to work on many levels," he
With the excellent team assembled and the history of
success for CST's Family Series, "The Adventures of Pinocchio" is
sure to be this summer's "don't miss" family show.

Voyage Century
Voyage Century is a unique game in the free-to-play arena. Players start their adventures in the city of Athens but are soon free to explore the rest of the world and settle in a home port of their choice. While each of the game's 40+ cities have hunting locations on the outskirts, most of the game's content involves sailing and battling at sea. Voyage Century has such a broad variety of content, players can pursue the life of a merchant and simply trade resources between ports, or they could explore the world in search of rare discoveries. No matter what path you choose, you'll have to be careful while sailing in the high seas – open PvP means pirates are always on the prowl! There are five classes for new players to choose from, and they can all pursue any desired career.
Royal Military Officer – Members of the Royal Officer Corps are trained in swordsmanship on land and gunnery on the high seas.
Emperor Guardian – Guardians are the masters of close-quarter combat. They are proficient with falchions, axes and swords. More importantly, their skill with the grappling hook allows them to force long-ranged opponents to face them on the Guardian's terms.
Caribbean Pirate – Pirates are known for their cunning use of the falchion and axe. They prefer to close in on their enemies and let loose their cannons from a short distance for maximum effect.
Treasure Hunter – Treasure Hunters prefer indirect combat, they are trained in long ranged gunnery and laying mines, but are capable of ramming their opponents when necessary. On land, Treasure Hunters prefer pistols and rifles over melee weapons.
Armed Businessman – The merchant marine of Voyage Century. Businessmen are renowned for their repairing, healing, and ship enhancement abilities. They prefer guns over melee weapons.

I surely hope no one believes this site will stay the same… have you ever been into a gamestop? There can be 2 people in front of you to check out and it will take 45 mins to get out of the store because they try to sell you every little piece of hardware or game relevant to what you're buying not to mention the constant reminder that you need to reserver this so called game because you won't be able to find it.
GameStop is greedy and they want more money. I promise you that there are corporate exec's at gamestop planning right now how they can charge you up the a$$ for everything you do on this site. It will be a slow takeover, but a takeover nonetheless
RIP Kongregate

The International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) originated with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, but is now coordinated by the Environment for the Americas (EFTA), a non-profit organization that works throughout the Western Hemisphere to share information about birds and their conservation. IBMD has the support of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and many other bird conservation and education partners. The first IMBD celebration was hosted at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. in 1993. Informa-tion on the IMBD is found at www.birdday.org.
What? International Migratory Bird Day is a celebration of the wonder of bird migration. It is an occa-sion to educate the public, especially the young, about bird migration. Each year has a different theme with its own artwork. Most IMBD events include bird walks. While on the walk, it is easy to share with participants the importance of gathering accurate information about birds and the value of observations. Here is where many members of the public could first learn about other bird counts such as eBird and the Christmas Bird Count. EFTA provides an easy-to-use format for a Spring bird count and migration bird education event.
When? Each year, IMBC in USA and Canada is held on the second Saturday of May when many birds are migrating north. Other days can be selected for an event if that day is not the best time. An organization or site may plan a bird festival on that day or another one that fits well for them. Events now are held year-round for IMBD.
Who? Organizations that want to encourage and promote bird conservation can participate in IMBC. Nature, wildlife, and conservation centers are natural places to stage an event celebrating bird migration. So are bird observatories, raptor centers, museums, zoos, bird stores, garden shops, state and national forests, and schools. Bird and nature clubs, garden clubs, and Audubon Chapters are likely par-ticipants. These organizations need volunteers to lead ac-tivities including bird walks. You do not need to be an ex-pert to lead a good bird walk and the IMBD website helps prepare anyone to be successful at this worthwhile activity.
Where? IMBD is celebrated throughout the Western Hemisphere including the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America. In the United States and Canada, many parks, nature centers, and wildlife refuges host bird migra-tion walks under the IMBD program.
How? In Pennsylvania, many birders celebrate IMBD by participating in the Pennsylvania Annual Migratory The IMBD website provides many ideas for activities, guidelines for leading bird walks, and many free materials for use at events and whenever anyone wants to educate others about bird migration.
Get Involved: The coordinators of IMBD are available to answer questions or to help you organize a pro-gram. They can be contacted by email at email@example.com or by phone at 1-866-334-3330 or 1-303-499-1950. It is easy to log your event on the IMBD Explorer's Map, an interactive map for educators, event planners, the press, and birders. The public can seek out events to attend.
Benefits: International Migratory Bird Day is a great occasion to educate the public about bird migration and conservation issues. It is a particularly effective way to reach out in urban areas where people may not have the regular occasion to experience birds and the migration event. IMBD also is a great way for nature and conservation centers to explain the importance of their institutions to the public in terms of birds and the habitat necessary to support the great event of bird migration. It also provides a wonderful forum for local bird clubs and Audubon Chapters to get more exposure to the general public with the common interest of bird education.

Mike Dean's role in the studio with Kanye West may be becoming more pronounced, but the mixer-producer has worked with West on each of his albums, as well as the Watch The Throne project with Jay-Z. In an interview with Huffpost Live, Dean explained how working with West has evolved from 2004's The College Dropout to Yeezus, which is slated to be released tomorrow (June 18).
"[West] is more the producer that oversees everybody now," Dean says during the interview. "He gets teams of producers to work under him. When I first started working with him, I mixed two, three songs on his first record at my house in Texas. I'd say, 'Ah, I could help you on this track.' He'd say, 'I make beats. That's what I do.' That was 10 years ago, I guess. Now he lets everybody put input in and he sorts through it. We'll have eight producers putting parts on one song and then we'll just pick through it, pick what's good."
With so many producers working on one song, Dean says the process becomes layered. "Usually one person will start something and eight other people will add parts," Dean says to interviewer Ricky Camilleri. "Sometimes it'll end up [that] the person that started doesn't have anything on the final song, but they're still producing."
Dean, who performed with West during his Governors Ball 2013 set in New York June 9, has an extensive Rap mixing and production resume. He started working with Scarface, The Geto Boys and other Rap-A-Lot Records artists in the early 1990s and helped develop the "gumbo funk" production style that included the use of live instruments.
Trained to be a bassoonist, Dean says that his work on Yeezus also signals his own development as a producer. "It's just an evolution, I guess, of learning how to make records," Dean says. "We're kind of pulling back to more minimal now. We're trying to. It's hard not to make an epic record if you can."

TSA workers and officials are dealing with a flood of complaints over new stricter airport security.
Very thorough body pat-downs and whole body imaging are used at most airports now.
Homeland Security Today Editor David Silverberg joined the DorobekINSIDER to discuss why Homeland Security officials are so reluctant to back off on the new measures.

Managed service providers that specialize in healthcare currently face some unique challenges.
Healthcare organizations are often encouraged to acquire and implement a vendor neutral archive (VNA) as an enterprise medical imaging data repository. The idea is simple — migrate DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) images archived in departmental picture archiving and communications system (PACS) applications into a centralized PACS VNA.
As electronic health records and other forms of healthcare data become more prominent, data security for healthcare organizations grows more and more important.
EZSolution is a managed IT provider with a clear mission…to help businesses succeed and grow through computer technology solutions. It is this focused mission that makes them so valuable to their clients.
Meaningful Use Stage 2 compliance is the number one issue facing healthcare IT professionals in 2014 and 2015. An important requirement for certification is tracking medication from order to administration using assistive technologies. The most common assistive technology is bar code scanning.
Automating medication administration processes continues to be a key factor in achieving Meaningful Use Stage 2. The core measure requires more than 10 percent of all medication orders be tracked using the eMAR, or electronic medication administration record, and an automated technology.
In any business, it's important to establish a recurring revenue stream. In the office equipment industry, a recurring revenue stream can come from not only selling the hardware (printers or copiers), but also selling the software solutions that are most appropriate for a customer's business needs. For example, selling multifunction devices bundled with a compatible and/or complementary software solution can boost not only the initial sale but will also help to establish a recurring revenue stream with these three key segments: installation, peripherals, and maintenance.
It is an important objective of hospitals to provide a caring and comfortable environment where patients and their families can focus on the healing and recovery process without having to worry about their physical safety. This often poses a dilemma as hospitals work to balance the need to be welcoming and open with the need for strong security.
Healthcare facilities are meant to be a source of comfort and healing; however, even hospitals and clinics are subject to crime, fraud, and other illegal acts. In fact, a 2012 study showed that incidents of crime at U.S. healthcare facilities were on the rise.
Today, even the smallest healthcare organization is a technology hub. Multiple IT systems connect providers to patients, medical specialists, online resources, and external providers and staff are increasingly equipped with mobile devices to support their work within and outside the facilities. The regulatory environment is stringent, and new state healthcare exchanges place additional security and privacy pressures on healthcare organizations.

An open letter to my teenage sons
Wendy shares an open letter to her two sons, aged 15 and 13, offering advice to keep them safe, healthy and happy through the adventures of their teens. What would you tell your kids in your own letter?
This column was originally published on The Herald Sun. By Wendy Tuohy.
Dear Boys,
I'm hoping this helps guide and protect you in the next few years, when you'll be making some of your toughest choices, probably often instantly and on your own.
I have huge faith in your own senses of right and wrong, but given what we see around us, I think you can forgive me for offering every tool I have to keep you safe, healthy and happy through the adventures of your teens.
On Social Media
I think you've got the message that what goes online can stay with you for life, but as well as thinking hard about what goes on your own Facebook, Instagram or SnapChat, please, please hesitate before posting on someone else's.
As you learned recently when some boys at school put up a page to "rate" the girls, the consequences of revolting cyber behaviour are very real in the real world.
Thank you for knowing it was wrong and telling us. But please always recognise cyber bullying for what it is: harmful and potentially very dangerous. Report it even if it's "just a joke".
Be brave, trust your instincts and don't go along with anything just because everyone else is. Remember, we're told by experts it takes only one person challenging a bully to give others courage to join them.
Unfortunately, as I'm sure you know, girls have taken their lives over things written online. If you see something worrying, it's your responsibility to act.
If you are the victim, remember the golden rule: "consider the source" – think of the kind of person who makes cowardly, anonymous comments and consider if they deserve one second of your time.
On Alcohol
Remember that recent party one of you attended where you saw how alcohol affected 15 year-olds? The fighting, vomiting, stomach pumping, the sink ripped off the wall, the eight police cars?
Your instinct to call us was fantastic but the sight of drunk kids will likely get more common.
The latest Murdoch Children's Research Centre data found 60 per cent of students drink by Year Nine and I'm not kidding myself you're immune.
Alcohol is part of Australian life but it can mess with your decision-making, your emotions, your levels of aggression and ability to defend yourself (and may increase your chances of depression). As boys, there will be extra pressure on you to show that you can handle drinking heavily. You don't.
Please try to treat your bodies with some of the love, respect and care we've lavished on them so far.
On Girls
They may seem super confident and some dress like they're much older (I've seen it), but from personal experience, just know that behind the feisty facade of many teenage girls may be a more vulnerable person.
You've heard about the case in the US where a 14-year-old girl snuck out to be with some popular 17-year-old boys who gave her alcohol and raped her and her 13 year-old friend.
You need to know this: the people responsible for those sexual assaults were the boys. And this: drunk girls are not "asking" for sexual assault and are never to blame if it happens. Standing by is not an option. If you see a girl being exploited, be strong enough to act.
If you get your own heart broken, we're here!
On Depression
At your age I didn't know the word "suicide" existed, but life seems to move more quickly for your generation. Just know that you need to look out for symptoms that something's not right with your friends and yourselves. Feeling down is nothing to be ashamed of and it happens to boys, too.
It's very common and help from people like the fantastic Headspace youth mental health group is close at hand. Keep playing sport! And keep talking to us.
On Stuff Ups
You will stuff up, but we'll still love you unconditionally. But bad actions do have consequences.
On Schoolies
Guys, would it be such awful parenting if I offered you a massive bribe and begged you not to go? Yes, I thought so. In that case, can we come?
Your ever-loving Mum
I had 700 words in which to offer my best advice to keep my teen sons safe, well and happy physically and mentally. What would you tell your sons or daughters in an open letter?
Tell me below or chat with me in The Perch Facebook community here or on Twitter: @wtuohy.

D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray will shake up his administration this week by appointing a new chief of staff and deputy chief of staff. They are Christopher Murphy, a deputy chief of staff at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Andrea "Andi" Pringle, who was deputy campaign manager for Howard Dean's presidential run, according to The Washington Post.
It's been five months since Mr. Gray fired his first chief of staff, and the full-time deputy job also has been vacant. The mayor is expected to make the announcements today.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley will tour storm damage in central and Southern Maryland, two of the state's regions hit hardest by Hurricane Irene, The Washington Times reports.
The D.C. police officer accused of drunkenly shooting at transgendered people has been punished at least twice before for alcohol-related incidents, according to records and sources. Charging documents released Monday described how Officer Kenneth Furr, a 20-year veteran, crashed his Cadillac into another vehicle early Friday morning, stood on the hood of the victims' vehicle and shouted, "I'm gonna kill all of you." Officer Furr is due in court today, according to the Washington Examiner.
Officer Furr was arrested in 2004 for driving while intoxicated and operating while impaired, according to court records. He pleaded no contest, and the charges were dropped after he completed a diversion program. On Christmas Day 1996, Officer Furr and another officer were on duty when they got into a drunken argument with a mother and son. Police brass placed Officer Furr on administrative leave and tried to fire him, but he was reinstated in 1998 after a change in police chiefs.
Two former D.C. Cabinet officials are dismayed that their joint request for an investigation by the inspector general's office of the D.C. Lottery contract has gone nowhere.
Former Chief Procurement Officer David P. Gragan and former Attorney General Peter J. Nickles said their July 2010 letter to Inspector General Charles J. Willoughby, calling for a review of Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi's oversight of the lottery, was motivated by contract irregularities and questions about whether a 51 percent local partner to the $38 million contract was thoroughly vetted before being approved by the D.C. Council.
But more than two years after accusations of political meddling were first leveled at Mr. Gandhi and then-D.C. Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray, interviews with key witnesses and documents obtained by The Washington Times show that neither Mr. Gandhi nor Mr. Willoughby has fully probed a questionable deal that has drawn fresh scrutiny because of the lottery's plan to launch the nation's first online poker system.
The former treasurer of Goochland County, Va., who has pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $200,000 in public funds, funneled the money to a shadowy figure in Nigeria, according to a Virginia state audit released Monday and the prosecutor in the case.
Brenda Grubbs was arrested Feb. 2 for attempted embezzlement and effectively resigned her position on Feb. 11. She pleaded guilty to a 20-count indictment earlier this month. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 13, and she faces life in prison, according to The Washington Times.
Maryland legislators will meet today to resume discussions on offshore wind development in the state, four months after they shot down Gov. Martin O'Malley's signature green-energy proposal. The Senate Finance Committee will discuss the pros and cons of wind technology, which the governor has touted as a job-creating, environment-friendly alternative to fossil fuels while acknowledging that it likely will increase energy costs for consumers, The Washington Times reports.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, a Republican, said the 2012 election could play a pivotal role in setting the course of economic recovery in the U.S., or lack there of. "I just hope the economy can hold on long enough for that debate to take place," he said during a visit to Waynesboro on Monday. "The Obama administration has pursued a number of policies that have failed and others that, in effect, have been anti-business," the News Virginian reports.

Summer's end
Today was the first day of my editing class at Loyola University Maryland, and one of my students knew what an en-dash is. I'm almost giddy. Here, in case you missed the preview of coming attractions, is what they heard in that first class session.
Yesterday's word of the week, tergiversation, prompted Linda Seebach to quote a delightful double dactyl by Anthony Hecht that employs the word, and Picky to issue this invitation: "I did want to write one that starts 'Higgledy Piggledy, John Early McIntyre, Night Content Manager, Baltimore Sun.' But I got stuck. Can one rhyme Sun with Hon in Baltimore?"
Surely this is bait you cannot resist.
Picky also posted this comment: "Higgledy Piggledy / John Early McIntyre / wears a straw hat / and a seersucker suit:
"even a male and an / episcopalian, / blessed with a tailor, / can still look a beaut."
Sadly, summer's gone, seersucker and boater are put away, and the fedora makes its return engagement.

Mentioned for the first time in 854, Ulm was one of Europe's most important cities in the Middle Ages and leader of the Swabian League of Cities. After the Thirty Years War and the War of Spanish Succession, Ulm's power declined. In 1802 it was stripped of its status as Imperial City. It has a long tradition of industry and trade. The university, which was founded in 1967, is a model for cooperation between science, research and the technologies of the future.

Well this reminds me when Schumacher was going to Ferrari, everybody said he was to young and hot headed for the team. Seven time world champion in the end wasn't it? I bet they feel a little stupid.
In my eyes McLaren have done the right thing and I guess only time will tell. I am just glad Lewis the sneak has left.
Be careful rosberg, he will be taking pictures of your technical data next and post it in twitter like he did to Jenson, I mean who does something that sneaky, it goes to show how Hamilton is not the whole package anymore, he is just a little brat really.

Set of folded stationery cards printed on bright white, smooth card stock to bring your personal artistic style to everyday correspondence. Each card is blank on the inside and includes a soft white, European fold envelope for mailing.
Many of you know that I love traveling to the US. I have been various times to various places but mostly in California. Despite all the things that could be better (like in every country), it's where I feel the most alive and the most fulfilled. I am currently in Berlin, Germany and started to plan a US visit for this year. Planing it already makes me happy and gets me all excited :D
So, I made this free hand version of the US Flag that represents "my USA" with all the joy, happiness and the colors that I feel whenever I am there.
Hope you like it :)
California is on top of my travel wish list :)
Thank you Robin, Catherine (California Love), Joy, Alice & Lisa!
I love my USA too and so happy that you feel great about it, because so many people outside America, seem to bash it anymore. California is fantastic....and I love the east coast too! xo
Thx for the stars Wayne :)

Some individual defensive standouts, fairly strong offensive output initially and a few plays later combined with overall sputtering. Winning 24-21, the game ended with Carolina running the clock out versus the Giants' attempts in vain to make something happen to win (even including Tom Coughlin eagerly burning timeouts while Carolina sat on the ball in Giants territory with a minute to go).
The highlights so far:
- Jake Delhomme looks comfortable, calm, and steps into his throws again.
- Third down isn't a stress. We converted a lot of them, and we simply use options.
- We use the TE. We don't have a lot of talent there (yet), but we'll still use it.
- This offense sustains drives instead of killing them. Build drives, march. No worry of whether a long bomb will work, but room to take the shot.
- The OL gets to the line quickly and works crisply, together. No coming to the line slowly, waiting for the play clock to drain away (and drain the energy).
- Our youth at LB looks active (with exception to Anderson, who started at WLB). They still have some room to learn, and must.
- Steve Smith can effortlessly become the playmaker without it all being on his shoulders.
- Chris Harris looks like an active defender (but with the coverage problems you'd expect).
- Ken Lucas and Julius Peppers are still killers.
At DE, Stanley McClover really helped himself in the year since he came to camp in 06, and looks like the starter when Mike Rucker isn't in. Looks like Charles Johnson can play the run and use his power on OTs, as well. He has quickness, though, and needs to use some of it. Dave Ball even looked active. Otis Grigsby made a lot of waves in the 2nd half, but there probably isn't enough room. DTs didn't really stand out, but there seemed to be good pressure on first look and not a lot of room to run inside. A second look at the game will be more enlightening on the starters and backups. Kindal Moorehead did stand out, on run defense, in that he was getting blocked out. Apparently Moorehead just isnt' that functionally strong, and probably shouldn't make the cut. Stephen Williams is a big guy, who got some push, but Lavalais didn't show anything.
The DBs were hard to judge. A couple good plays here and there, a couple bad plays here and there. Nothing remarkable out of Deke Cooper, or any of the backups.
The WRs were erratic, save for Taye Biddle, who caught a couple easy balls for TDs, and Smith, who hauls anything short of ten feet over his head. Robinson showed some RAC ability, but Carter only caught a single 7 yard pass and Colbert went catchless.

The Kabini Deal: Can AMD Improve the Quality of Mainstream PCs with Its Latest APU?by Anand Lal Shimpi on May 24, 2013 1:45 PM EST
There are two non-negotiables in building a PC these days: the cost of Intel silicon and the cost of the Windows license. You can play with everything else but Intel and Microsoft are going to get their share. Those two relatively fixed costs in the PC bill of materials can do one of two things: encourage OEMs to skimp on component cost elsewhere, or drive the entire ecosystem to supply higher quality components at lower prices. If you've been following the PC industry for the past decade, I think we've seen more of the former and less of the latter.
Apple occupying the high-end of the notebook PC space has forced many OEMs to reconsider their approach, but that's a more recent change. What AMD seems to offer is an easier path. AMD will take less of the BoM, allowing OEMs to invest those savings elsewhere - a move Intel will never make. Given how much pressure the PC OEMs have been under for the past few years, AMD's bargain is more appealing now than it has ever been.
With Llano and Trinity, AMD's story was about giving up CPU performance for GPU performance. With Kabini, the deal is more palatable. You only give up CPU performance compared to higher priced parts (you gain performance compared to Atom), and you get much lower power silicon that can run in thinner/lighter notebooks. Typically at the price points Kabini is targeting (sub-$400 notebooks), you don't get pretty form factors with amazing battery life. AMD hopes to change that.
While AMD hasn't disclosed OEM pricing on Kabini (similarly, Intel doesn't list OEM pricing on its mobile Pentium SKUs), it's safe to assume that AMD will sell Kabini for less than Intel will sell its competing SKUs. If Kabini's die size is indeed around 107mm^2, that puts it in the same range as a dual-core Ivy Bridge. AMD can likely undercut Intel a bit and live off of lower margins, but there's one more component to think about: Ivy Bridge needs its PCH (Platform Controller Hub), Kabini does not. As a more fully integrated SoC, Kabini's IO duties are handled by an on-die Fusion Controller Hub. Intel typically charges low double digits for its entry level chipsets, which is money AMD either rolls into the cost of Kabini or uses as a way of delivering a lower total cost to OEMs.
Traditionally, OEMs would take these cost savings and pass them along to the end user. I get the impression that AMD's hope with Kabini is for OEMs to instead take the cost savings and redeploy them elsewhere in the system. Perhaps putting it towards a small amount of NAND on-board for a better user experience, or maybe towards a better LCD.
As we found in yesterday's article, Kabini does a great job against Atom and Brazos. However, even with double digit increases in performance, Kabini is still a little core and no match for the bigger Ivy Bridge parts. Much to our disappointment, we pretty much never get sent low end hardware for review - so to make yesterday's NDA we had to stick with 17W Ivy Bridge and extrapolate performance from there. In the past day I grabbed an ASUS X501A system, a 15-inch entry-level machine priced in the low $300s. More importantly, it features a 35W Ivy Bridge based Pentium CPU: the dual-core 2020M.
The Pentium 2020M's base clock speed is still relatively high at 2.4GHz, but there's no turbo. In the low level CPU performance analysis yesterday I used a Surface Pro with a 17W 1.7GHz Core i5, but max turbo on that part can hit 2.6GHz. I actually don't expect there to be huge CPU performance differences between the results from yesterday and what I have here but I wanted to be sure.
The bigger difference is actually on the GPU side. While a mobile Core i5 comes with Intel's HD 4000 graphics, the Pentium 2020M gets a vanilla Intel HD GPU. At 22nm, Intel's HD graphics is a 6 EU part with lower performance than the previous generation Intel HD 3000.
With that said, let's see how Kabini (AMD's A4-5000 in particular) compares to an Ivy Bridge based Pentium 2020M in CPU performance, GPU performance and finally in power.
CPU Performance & Power
On the CPU front, the difference between the Core i5-3317U and the Pentium 2020M is actually quite small. The former has a nice 2.6GHz max turbo while the latter has a higher TDP and thus a higher base clock as well. The result is that most single threaded performance results are very close between the two. If we look at Kraken, SunSpider, PCMark, Cinebench (1-thread) or 7-Zip (1-thread) - the two perform quite similarly. As a result, Kabini doesn't really gain any ground here. In my own use, I can feel a performance difference between the 2020M and the A4-5000 in tasks like installing/launching applications, as well as bigger CPU bound activities.
|CPU Performance
|PCMark 7
|Cinebench 11.5 (Single Threaded)
|Cinebench 11.5 (Multithreaded)
|7-Zip Benchmark (Single Threaded)
|7-Zip Benchmark (Multithreaded)
|AMD A4-5000 (1.5GHz Jaguar x 4)
|Intel Pentium 2020M (2.4GHz IVB x 2)
|Intel Core i5-3317U (1.7GHz IVB x 2)
A big issue here is Kabini, at least in its launched versions, lacks any turbo core support. The 15W A4-5000 runs even single threaded tasks as if all four cores were active and eating into that TDP budget. The fastest Jaguar implementation seems to be 2GHz, but even if the A4-5000 could turbo up to that level I feel like I'd still want a bit more. There's obviously room on the table for a Kabini refresh, even at 28nm.
For light web browsing and general use workloads Kabini, like many modern platforms, can really be good enough.
It is impossible to have a performance discussion without looking at power consumption when it comes to mobile devices. This is where Kabini makes up a lot of ground. The Pentium 2020M is a 35W part (Intel does offer slower 17W parts but I unfortunately don't have a system that uses one of those), compared to the A4-5000's 15W TDP. I measured total platform power of both notebooks without a battery and with the display disabled (and using the same SSD in its lowest power state). While isolating SoC power would be ideal, this does give us a general idea of platform power consumption:
|Platform Power Consumption
|Cinebench 11.5 (1-thread)
|Cinebench 11.5 (multithreaded)
|7-Zip (1-thread)
|7-Zip (multithreaded)
|AMD A4-5000 (1.5GHz Jaguar x 4)
|Intel Pentium 2020M (2.4GHz IVB x 2)
The difference is pretty big. Kabini will either last longer on the same size battery, or be able to fit into a smaller chassis altogether. I also suspect the 15W TDP is perhaps a bit conservative, total platform power consumption with all CPU cores firing never exceeded 12W (meaning SoC power consumption is far lower, likely sub-10W).
It's also worth pointing out that there's clearly a lot of thermal headroom when only a single CPU core is active. Design limitations would probably keep a single core from ramping up too high, but there's clearly room for improvement here.
The 17W Pentium/Celeron parts are architecturally very similar to the 2020M I'm featuring here, they just run at 75% of the clock speed. If we assume perfect scaling, Intel would appear to still hold substantial single-threaded CPU performance advantage even if the comparison was to a lower clocked Pentium. Interestingly enough, the multithreaded advantage would pretty much disappear though. These 35W Pentiums seem a lot more common in retail (likely because of the spec shopping that's presumed at these lower price points).
Compared to Atom (or Brazos), Kabini does extremely well though. Similar to Brazos, AMD is looking for Kabini to do battle slightly above its weight class. In its press materials AMD specifically calls out Pentium and Core i3 as potential targets for the A4/A6-class Kabini APUs. Part of this is AMD looking at the CPU and GPU as a whole though, so let's move on to the graphics comparison.
GPU Performance
Looking at 3DMark's Ice Storm test, the comparison between Intel's 22nm HD Graphics in the Pentium 2020M and the Radeon HD 8830 in the A4-5000 is extremely close. In fact, across almost all of the 3DMark benchmarks we see the two perform very similarly. The lone exception being 3DMark 11 where the A4-5000 maintains a significant lead and even approaches Trinity in terms of performance (making it feel more like a fluke than the norm).
Turning to GFXBenchmark (formerly GL/DXBenchmark), we see performance tilt in favor of Kabini once again. The T-Rex HD test is extremely shader intensive. There's about a 20% gap in raw shader performance between the 2-CU GCN implementation in Kabini and the 6 EU Gen7 graphics core in the Pentium 2020M, which maps almost perfectly to the performance delta we see in T-Rex HD. Now we see where the Pentium/Core i3 comparison comes from.
|GPU Performance
|3DMark Ice Storm
|3DMark Cloud Gate
|3DMark Fire Strike
|3DMark 11
|3DMark 06
|GFXBenchmark T-Rex HD
|AMD A4-5000 (Radeon HD 8330)
|37 fps
|Intel Pentium 2020M (HD Graphics)
|30 fps
All of this is fine if we're looking at theoretical GPU benchmarks but what about actual games? In our Kabini review Jarred found the A4-5000 to be incapable of playing modern titles at reasonable frame rates, but what about titles from a few years ago? To find out, I dusted off Oblivion (with the Shivering Isles expansion) and threw it on my Kabini, Brazos and IVB Pentium systems.
I configured all three systems the same way: 1366 x 768, with medium graphics quality presets. I even used our old Oblivion SI benchmark from 2007. The results seemed to mirror what we saw in 3DMark:
|GPU Performance
|Oblivion - 1366 x 768 Medium
|Diablo III - 1366 x 768 Low
|Oblivion - Power Consumption
|AMD E-350 (Radeon HD 6310)
|20.1 fps
|21.9 fps
|AMD A4-5000 (Radeon HD 8330)
|26.1 fps
|25.8 fps
|Intel Pentium 2020M (HD Graphics)
|27.7 fps
|20.3 fps
Kabini is about 30% faster than Brazos in GPU performance, and almost identical to the Pentium 2020M. Intel has a 6% performance advantage here, but I'm wondering if that's from the CPU and not the GPU (Oblivion tends to hit both pretty hard). At lower quality settings (and/or resolution) you can definitely get Kabini above 30 fps, but even here I'd say it's playable. More importantly, it's performance competitive with Intel's HD graphics.
I was also curious to see how Diablo III ran on Kabini so I fired up an early save and ran through the Cemetery of the Forsaken recording average frame rate. On a more modern title, both Kabini and Brazos actually hold a performance advantage over the Pentium 2020M.
As far as power goes, Kabini delivers relatively similar performance at roughly half the power of the Pentium 2020M.
With any of these integrated GPUs, the gaming experience even on previous generation high-end titles isn't going to be a walk in the park.
Final Words
AMD's family of cat-cores began their lives as higher performing alternatives to Intel's Atom. Ambition (and a desire for higher ASPs) drove them to compete with the lower end of Intel's Pentium lineup. The Jaguar based Kabini APU continues the trend and even aims higher up the product stack, with the highest spec Kabini APU aiming for Intel's Core i3.
When it comes to GPU performance, Kabini is absolutely there. Depending on the benchmark we either saw parity, a slight disadvantage or large advantage for Kabini's integrated Radeon HD 8830 compared to Intel's 22nm HD Graphics.
On the CPU front, we already established that Kabini runs laps around Brazos and Atom. The point of today's article however, was to find out if comparing to a $320 notebook based on a Pentium 2020M would change things. The answer ends up being, not really. Kabini is very efficient for what it is, but the Ivy Bridge cores simply have better single threaded performance. Even a lower clocked/lower TDP Pentium part would maintain a healthy single threaded CPU performance advantage.
Whether that CPU performance advantage matters really depends on your usage model. Anyone who'd be happy with a Cortex A15 based Chromebook for example would likely be just fine with Kabini under the hood of their next notebook.
Where Kabini excels however is in its power consumption. Better battery life than a Brazos based notebook is a given, but in our earlier comparison we even noted better battery life than a 17W Ultrabook. I suspect AMD is indeed being a little conservative with its 15W TDP rating for the A4-1500.
That brings us to the deal that AMD is offering OEMs. A lower cost, lower power APU that's better than Atom/Brazos, comparable to Pentium in GPU performance but behind it in single threaded CPU performance. Historically PC OEMs have taken the cost savings AMD offered them and delivered a lower priced system, my hope with Kabini is that we'll finally get something different.
Kabini alone offers a power advantage, which itself may be enough, but if an OEM were to take Kabini's cost savings and put the money towards a better LCD or better storage that could significantly alter the balance of things. I agree with what Jarred said in his conclusion yesterday: "Give me a reasonable Ultrabook-style chassis (or maybe a dockable tablet) with Kabini and a decent quality 1080p touchscreen and do it at the right price and there are plenty of people that will jump at the offer."
The traditional approach would be for an OEM to offer a Kabini system at a lower price than a Pentium based system. The Kabini system might offer better battery life, while the Pentium machine delivers better single-threaded CPU performance. Should that same OEM offer both systems at the same price, but give the Kabini an appreciably better display, I think many users would be willing to overlook the difference in CPU performance entirely.
As it stands, I like Kabini. It's a good part that could make for the foundation of a nice, affordable ultraportable system. The best selling notebook on Amazon remains the Cortex A15 based Samsung Chromebook. The second best selling? A Core i3 based ASUS X202E. Consumers are clearly willing to sacrifice CPU performance if the price is right and the rest of the machine/experience is well designed. I see no reason that a Kabini based platform couldn't be up there as well. It's just up to an enlightened OEM to do the right thing with what AMD has given them.

Hot on the heels of our post about the economics of insomnia medication, we just read this article from Dr. Kate Scannell about the health dangers of television.
Apart from the more obvious dangers (falling down the stairs whilst carrying a TV, the TV falling onto a child), she goes further and suggests that not only do the often sensational, panic-bating news shows cause us worry which may affect our sleep, TV ads from drug companies may also be to blame for our tossing and turning at night.
What's more, children could be even more susceptible to the unhealthy side effects of television. In 2007, a study published in Pediatrics found that television viewing for more than two hours a day could promote behaviour, attention and sleep problems.
Is it time to cut down on our television viewing habits in order to get a better night's sleep? Nobody can argue that sitting in front of a TV is better than being active - but can television really have such an impact on our health, and more crucially our sleep?Improve your sleep without sleeping pills with my free sleep training.

City sales tax exceeds projections
July receipts come in $74,000 above projections
Wednesday, July 10, 2013
For the first time since March, Jefferson City's general sales tax receipts have exceeded projections.
At the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting Tuesday, 2nd Ward Councilman Shawn Schulte said July receipts for the 1 percent general sales tax came in $74,000 above the city's projection of $797,780.
For the past three months, the general sales tax receipts came in below projections, which were lowered to what were seen as more realistic numbers in March. Schulte said the July receipts, which are from sales made in May, have helped lower the total shortfall for the year to date from $95,000 to around $20,000.
"A bit of good news from the revenue side," Schulte said.
Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director Bill Lockwood said the local parks sales tax is on track to meet budget projections for the year, even though the past few months had proved slightly worrisome. The parks sales tax fell short of projections in April and May receipts, but exceeded projections in June.
"I think we're going to be OK," Lockwood said.
In other business, Phil Stiles, recreation facilities and special services division director, said last month's Thursday Night Live events have grabbed the attention of those outside Mid-Missouri.
Stiles said someone tweeted a photo of the Madison Street "beach" at the June 27 event and now Thursday Night Live is being talked about as far away as Vancouver.
"This event has gotten some national and international attention," Stiles said.
The commission also installed a new president and vice president Tuesday. Denise Chapel, who was serving as vice president, was elected the new commission president and Marty Miller was elected vice president. Former President Gart Pollard will remain on the commission.

The Rangers' youth brigade
One of the theme's around the Rangers' practice facility today was the reaction of the Rangers' playoff newbies to their first postseason action.
The list is actually extensive: Defensemen Matt Gilroy, Mike Sauer, Ryan McDonagh and forwards Brandon Prust, Brian Boyle, Derek Stepan and Mats Zuccarello. Plus, goalie Chad Johnson has participated in the NHL playoffs but if he sees any game action against the Capitals, it's because something has gone awry. Center Artem Anisimov has played one NHL postseason game but acquitted himself very well in Game 7 of the Rangers' first-round loss to the Capitals in 2009.
As noted in the previous blog entry, coach John Tortorella is not worried about the lack of experience.
"The more guys with little playoff experience, the better, and there's not going to be a whole lot of explanation to them," Tortorella said. "Because it's innocence, they don't know. I think sometimes we all turn it into something bigger and add different pressures when we don't need to. I think innocence in approaching this is a good thing."
I spoke to both McDonagh and Stepan and the former Wisconsin teammates, who obviously have extensive NCAA tournament experience, aren't quite sure what to expect in Game 1.
"I don't know," Stepan said. "We'll see. I know it's going to be different. I'll have to wait and see what the difference is."
Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/AGrossRecord
Follow the Record Sports Staff at twitter.com/TheRecordSports
McDonagh added that one thing that might help is how intense the final month of the regular season was as the Rangers desperately tried to hold on to their playoff position.
"It feels like the last 15 games was the most intense hockey I've been a part of," McDonagh said. "I know if we stick to our system and our strategy and be a good, physical team, that's all we're really focusing on."
"I'm trying not to think about it," Stepan added. "That's one way to look at it, look at like any normal game."
Stepan said he didn't want to "overthink things" but knew there would be a "different atmosphere, a different intensity to the games."
Marc Staal, who's played in three playoff series, remembers that in 2008, "I think I was more nervous than for my first NHL game. Every shift means so much more than the regular season….Once the puck drops, you play in that moment. The game takes over."
Veteran left wing Ruslan Fedotenko has won two Stanley Cups, one with Tortorella and the Lightning in 2004 and also with the Penguins. He said the younger players haven't been picking his brain constantly yet over what the experience will be like.
"So far, so good, they'll see how we're ready, how we prepare," Fedotenko said. "What I'm trying to convey to them is it's another game…They've played that game before."
