Ashraf Eassa is saying in his Seeking Alpha article that he expects Intel's Haswell graphic (GT3e) to capture the integrated graphics crown from AMD at the highest end, while delivering significant competition to the AMD's and Nvidia's discrete graphics. Also good writeup on the subject in Anandtech.
The best graphics circuit is meaningless without corresponding drivers to operate it
Why do you infer that there will not be driver support for this graphics engine?
Intel Haswell GT3
This past fall [see IFTLE 123: Intel's Bohr on3DIC] IFTLE reported rumors that Intel would be using TSV stacked DDR4 memory in their Haswell-EX platform for enterprise computing.
Haswell is the codename for the successor to Ivy Bridge architecture. Intel is expected to release 22nm CPUs based on Haswell around June 2013 according to leaked roadmaps. Current rumors have it that the Haswell GT3 will be the introduction point for 2.5D stacking and interposers. Semiaccurate [link] reports that Intel codename "Crystalwell" is not L4 cache on package but rather is GPU memory on an interposer. They indicate that the GT3 variants of Haswell will have 64MB of on-package memory connected through an ultra-wide bus.
Reports were that Haswell needed lower memory power consumption, higher memory bandwidth, and memory capacity that DDR3 could not provide but wide IO TSV based memory stacks could. Based on recent reports from the Semi 3D summit where ST Ericsson's Kimmich concluded that "although 3D TSV technology appears ready for mass production, wide IO technology is not yet a fit for mainstream smartphones. LPDDR3 and LPDDR4 will be used in this application due to better thermal performance and lower cost." [see IFTLE 134 "SEMI 3D European Summit – Isthe Wide IO Driver Dead ?"]
IFTLE must ask whether these Haswell "requirements" can be met with the newly described LPDDR3 and LPDDR4 solutions, which do not use TSV technology.
According to the Anandtech article Haswell GT3e should be equipped with 128MB of eDRAM connected to the main SoC via a 512-bit bus. It is made on Intel's 22nm process.
Discrete graphics card-like performance can be made at lower cost while increasing Intel's BOM in the end product.

Published: November 30, 2001
A selective listing by critics of The Times of noteworthy pop and jazz concerts in the New York metropolitan region this weekend. * denotes a highly recommended concert.
ANTIBALAS, Makor, 35 West 67th Street, Manhattan, (212) 601-1000. Antibalas gives a New York makeover to Fela Kuti's Afro-Beat, a Nigerian funk propelled by burly saxophones, fierce percussion and righteous anger, by updating both the funk and the political messages. Regular local appearances keep tightening up the band. Tomorrow night at 8:30, with Racine Okan, a Haitian band, opening; admission is $12 (Jon Pareles).
BARENAKED LADIES, LEONA NAESS, Roseland Ballroom, 239 West 52nd Street, Manhattan, (212) 777-6800. Barenaked Ladies is a group of wry, quick-tongued, close-harmonizing folkie types from Canada who have been clever and tuneful enough to reach No. 1 with the amiable ''One Week.'' Leona Naess sorts out a complicated love life in songs moving between gentle strumming and chunky rock that would please Sinead O'Connor fans. She asks herself a lot of questions, among them ''Why do I always chase the ones that run?'' Tonight at 7:30; tickets are $40 (Pareles).
* BATIDOS, Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, East Village, (212) 260-2400. House music and jazz both have Afro-Latin roots, and the disc jockey Ron Trent and the saxophonist Jay Rodriguez (from Groove Collective) put together Batidos (named for tropical-fruit milkshakes) to try out some connections. They made an album, Olájopé, and have now put together a live band -- including the spoken-word writer Dana Bryant and the vibraphonist Bill Ware -- to push the fusion further. It makes its debut tomorrow night at 7:30; admission is $15 (Pareles).
VINICIUS CANTUARIA, Tonic, 107 Norfolk Street, near Delancey Street, Lower East Side, (212) 358-7503. Vinicius Cantuaria is steeped in the bossa nova: its gently brushed guitar chords, its quietly elaborate melodies, its shades of sensuality and melancholy. He knows it well enough to stretch the form without losing its essence. He leads his band tonight at 8:30 and is joined by guest musicians at 10:30; admission is $15 (Pareles).
COMMANDER CODY, TriBeCa Blues, 16 Warren Street, TriBeCa, (212) 766-1070. While other late-1960's San Francisco bands were turning blues and country inside out, a pianist named Commander Cody decided that straightforward honky-tonk country music was psychedelic enough -- especially when he revived winking old songs like ''Hot Rod Lincoln,'' which allowed him to growl while tickling the 88's. Tomorrow night at 10, with the Eleven opening. Admission is $15, or $10 with a ticket stub from the Phil Lesh concert at the Beacon Theater, to benefit the New York City Police and Fire Departments' Widows and Children's Funds. (Pareles).
* JACK AND JIMMY COEN, Irish Arts Center, 553 West 51st Street, Manhattan, (212) 757-3318. The long-running traditional Irish music series from the Blarney Star in Lower Manhattan has moved uptown since Sept. 11 while repairs are made. This week's concert features Jack Coen, a redoubtable Irish traditional flutist who has won the National Heritage Award, accompanied by his son Jimmy on guitar. Tonight at 10; admission is $15 (Pareles).
COLD, DOPE, Irving Plaza, 17 Irving Place, at 15th Street, Manhattan, (212) 777-6800. Cold may be glum, but its radio must be working; the band sets its mournful, bitter musings to half a dozen current alternative-rock shticks. Dope is more focused, turning adolescent frustrations into hard-rock hostility jingles so generic they're suitable for all sorts of occasions: telling off parents, breakups, mass murders. Tonight at 9; tickets are $17 (Pareles).
D12, KOTTONMOUTH KINGS, BIONIC JIVE, Roseland Ballroom, 239 West 52nd Street, Manhattan, (212) 777-6800. D12 is the posse of rappers around Eminem. Although it wants to shock its way to fame as he did, few of its raps come close to matching his twisted intelligence. The rap-rock band Kottonmouth Kings is down a few evolutionary rungs from the likes of the Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine and make Limp Bizkit sound funky. The belligerent, fast-talking Bionic Jive opens the concert. Sunday night at 7:30; tickets are $19 in advance, $22.50 Sunday (Pareles).
DICTATORS, Bowery Ballroom, 6 Delancey Street, near the Bowery, Lower East Side, (212) 533-2111. It's amazing how many punk bands from the 1970's started to take themselves seriously. The Dictators, however, were never one of them; how could they be, with a leader named Handsome Dick Manitoba? Tonight at midnight, with Satanicide at 11 and Star Spangles at 10; admission is $15 (Pareles).
DIXIE DREGS, Inter-Media Art Center, 370 New York Avenue, Huntington, N.Y., (631) 549-2787; B. B. King Blues Club and Grill, 243 West 42nd Street, Manhattan, (212) 997-4144. High-powered fusion-jazz adds a hint of country to this speed-fingered band. At the Inter-Media Art Center tomorrow night at 8 and 10:30; admission is $30. At B. B. King on Sunday night at 8; tickets are $30 in advance, $35 on Sunday (Pareles).

Market Maker Surveillance Report. ELN, HCBK, JPM, BMY, NWSA, VMED, Bearishly Biased Price Friction For Wednesday, February 6th 2013
Feb 07, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Wednesday there were 3926 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2721 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2503 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bearish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices dropped. Elan Corporation PLC (NYSE:ELN), Hudson City Bancorp Inc (NASDAQ:HCBK), JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM), Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (NYSE:BMY), News Corp (NASDAQ:NWSA), Virgin Media Inc (NASDAQ:VMED). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit
Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction ELN $-1.040 -0.10% 25,417,676 36.73% 18,845,366 27.24% 6,572,310 Abnormal HCBK $-0.030 -0.00% 6,638,702 81.22% 1,533,773 18.77% 5,104,929 Abnormal JPM $-0.240 -0.01% 12,532,085 44.30% 6,835,297 24.16% 5,696,788 Abnormal BMY $-0.120 -0.00% 8,952,304 58.77% 3,112,645 20.43% 5,839,659 Abnormal NWSA $-1.550 -0.06% 19,118,224 53.86% 16,356,552 46.08% 2,761,672 Abnormal VMED $-0.860 -0.02% 55,122,134 54.74% 42,974,584 42.68% 12,147,550 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Wednesday and their stock prices dropped. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.
For example, the chart above shows ELN with 6,572,310 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-1.04000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.

Threat of Eastern red cedars is growing in Oklahoma, experts say
It's estimated about 462 million Eastern red cedar trees are spread across Oklahoma, which costs the state nearly that much in dollars a year in catastrophic wildfires and the loss of range and hunting lands.
"We'll never get rid of it," said Craig McKinley, state extension forestry specialist at Oklahoma State University. "It's too adaptive to our environment. I don't think we'll stop it unless we change our culture literally."
About 45 people spent four hours Wednesday at a public hearing, talking about the predicament of trying to find a use for a renewable resource and how the trees can be harvested at a reasonable rate.
Rep. Richard Morrissette, who tried unsuccessfully this year to get a tax credit for farmers and ranchers who remove the trees from their land, called the hearing.
"Our goal is not to eradicate all cedars as we have worked hard to establish … to define Eastern red cedar as a renewable resource," said Morrissette, R-Oklahoma City, who has worked to find a use for the tree over the past five years. "Cedar can be harvested and used for biofuel, pesticides, furniture, building material, pharmaceuticals and on and on. We need to continue to develop markets and to reduce wildfire risks and water loss and the infestation and destruction of our grazing land, but this will never happen without increasing the speed at which we harvest cedar."
Costly proposals
Various proposals for using the tree have been suggested the past several years, but none have come to pass because of the cost of building a processing or manufacturing facility or establishing an infrastructure for a steady supply.
In the meantime, Oklahoma is losing an estimated 700 acres per day to the trees, McKinley said. That amounts to 50 Eastern red cedars at least 5 feet tall per acre. It's estimated the trees consume from 4 to 40 gallons of water a day.
About 1.5 million acres of the state's approximately 45 million acres have at least 50 percent Eastern red cedar ground cover, McKinley said.
Range land is especially susceptible to being taken over by the trees, he said.
And it's expensive to have the trees removed. It costs about $700 per day to cut the trees and another $575 a day to stack them.
It's obvious the state isn't taking advantage of what it has, he said.
"It's a renewable resource," McKinley said. "People like red cedar quality — they like cedar chests and things like that — cedar paneling. The oils are valuable. It's been an issue of the logistics, the nonuniformity of the resource and the lack of production facilities."
OSU estimates losses
Mike Thralls, executive director of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, said OSU has estimated the annual economic loss caused by the Eastern red cedar to the state is about $447 million a year.
That doesn't include millions of dollars that will be spent by Oklahomans who are allergic to tree pollen, he said.
Studies have shown that the pollen grain concentrations produced by cedar trees tripled in the state from 1988 to 1996. Cedar pollen continues to increase as the population of the Eastern red cedar spreads into new areas.
Laura McIver, president of the Oklahoma City chapter of Quail Forever, said the spread of the trees is a main factor in the state's declining quail population as they take over the game bird's habitat.
A study estimated that Oklahoma is losing 5,680 coveys of quail a year, she said. A covey has about a dozen quail. Using those figures, the state has lost about 68,600 quail in the past 10 years.
Hunters are noticing the drop-off, she said. Five years ago, there were 34,395 Oklahomans who hunted quail; in 2011 half that number, or 17,341, hunted quail.
She said it's estimated each quail hunter spent $485 for supplies and other expenses, which meant a loss of about $8.3 million in sales.
"It's just going to get worse if we don't do something about it," McIver said.
Alternative fuel source
Participants at the hearing suggested the Eastern red cedars could be used as a power source to replace or supplement coal-powered electrical generating plants in the state. But the availability of natural gas and coal as well as their reliability make that prospect unlikely, others said.
Some said the state could follow through on a measure legislators passed in 2010 that recommends that 15 percent of the state's power supply comes from renewable resources, such as solar, wind or biomass, and build a power plant at a prison or other state building that uses cedar chips as fuel.
Paul Todd, president of the Aromatic Cedar Association who has been working 17 years trying to find a use for the Eastern red cedar, said a proposal to build a multimillion-dollar plant in Enid to process oil and fuel shows promise.
An Oklahoma City group is proposing to use a process to heat shredded cedars to recover cedar oil. When refined, the oil can sell for $45 per gallon; it has a wide range of applications, including pharmaceuticals for cancer treatment, pesticides and fungicides. The plant would extract the cedar oil, which makes up about 3 percent of the weight of the tree, and then have a second stage that would convert the biomass material to make hydrocarbon fuels such as jet fuel and diesel. It's possible to get about 200 gallons of jet fuel from each ton of wood.
Erupting into flames
Wildfires that spread across at least four counties this past summer increased in intensity when they came across the red cedars, which because of drought conditions seemed to explode as flames engulfed the trees.
The wildfires, which destroyed 680 homes and businesses and burned more than 114,000 acres, were a reminder of how much danger the trees pose and how fast they are overtaking the land. Fire at one time was the main deterrent for the Eastern red cedar trees' spread.
Fires — from lightning or set by American Indians before the state was settled — had kept the trees under control.
But now that fires are fought, and landowners are leery of controlled burns because they may be liable for damages if the fire gets out of control, the Eastern red cedar's growth in recent years has gone mostly unchecked.
"The removal of fire from the environment has enhanced the ability of cedar to proliferate, but on the other hand if we were to use that we would at least slow this progression down."
Thralls said controlled burns are the most effective defense against the Eastern red cedar. It's best to burn the trees when they are young and shorter than 5 feet; trees taller than that can burn easily and can quickly make a fire spread out of control. Because of that, some groups have had trouble getting insurance to cover possible damages.
Morrissette said it's bothersome to set fire to a resource that has potential value.
"It's like we're burning money," he said.

This is what the Aztecs promised
SAN DIEGO -- At the start of the season, San Diego State men's basketball fans thought the Aztecs should be one of the nation's top 25 teams.
As with most Aztecs sports teams, expectation did not have a friendly handshake with reality.
The Aztecs started the season looking like the real deal, winning eight straight games. But that was dulled by a horrible game at home against nationally-ranked Arizona. Two losses to open the Mountain West Conference and three other conference setbacks along the way had many of us thinking the Aztecs were overrated.
But they were just fooling us.
Forget about the start of the year, they say, it is how you finish that really matters.
San Diego State is doing what all good teams do: It is getting better as the season progresses.
The men of Montezuma have won seven of their past eight games and have defeated their last two nationally-ranked opponents -- No. 21 Brigham Young on Saturday and then-No. 15 Air Force on Feb. 6. It's the first time the Aztecs won consecutive games against nationally-ranked opponents since 1988.
In its seven-win span, San Diego State defeated three team ranked among the top 25 in last week's Ratings Percentage Index.
The RPI is a formula the NCAA tournament selection committee weighs heavily in determining the 65-team field. It is based on a number of statistical elements, among them team winning percentage, opponents' winning percentage and results of a team's last 10 games.
A high RPI (above 60) usually prevents a team from gaining an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament.
Aztecs wins against Nevada-Las Vegas (RPI ranking 12 as of last week), Air Force (13) and, most recently, BYU (21) should make the rest of the nation sit up and take notice.
Those wins have also helped San Diego State consistently lower its RPI over the past month. The Aztecs began last week at No. 62 and have since defeated New Mexico and BYU, victories that should continue their ascent when the new RPI rankings are released today.
Their 86-74 victory over BYU before a screaming crowd of more than 12,000 makes me think the Aztecs are ready to live up to their preseason billing.
It was one of the best games any Aztec team has ever played. They dominated the first 20 minutes and were never really in trouble.
If the Cougars are a top 25 team, where does that put San Diego State, which has 20 wins to go with eight losses? I'll tell you where it puts them. Right where those loyal San Diego State fans expected at the start of the season, as one of the nation's elite teams.
It just took them awhile to get there.
In explaining why the Aztecs are playing so much better now than at the start of the season, senior forward Mohamed Abukar said, "We hadn't hit our flow as a team. We were not consistent on offense or defense. Some teams go through this. Some teams peak late, and I think that is what we are doing."
Still, San Diego State finds itself in a hole because it will not win the Mountain West Conference regular season championship.
The Aztecs can get an automatic bid to the NCAA party if they win the conference tournament.
Some speculate that San Diego State could get in even if it were to lose in the conference tournament semifinals. That's because the conference is very strong nationally in basketball, much stronger than its fading reputation in football.
BYU, Air Force, UNLV and San Diego State can compete with most basketball programs in the nation, but it is unlikely the conference will get four berths in the NCAA tournament.

DANDY DIARY x INSTAGRAM: Recommendations?
We are using the crazy App INSTAGRAM for a while now, to take pictures of our journeys, drunk bloggers and of course ourselves – to remind us on the next morning, what we have been up to the night before. Since we started we shot 318 pictures. A whole lot, if we think of how we still have no clue, how this platform is even working.
We believe, it is the plan to look at pictures of other people, like them and share own images.
But here is our problem: The amount of likeable pictures on INSTAGRAM is just not enough for us.
That's why we plead: recommend us some good, interesting, wild and un-boring INSTAGRAM-User, which we should follow.
What we like: well dressed Men, barely dressed women, nudity in general and alcoholic nightlife-images.
What we don't like: pictures of food, animals, children or nature.
You can find us on INSTAGRAM with the shortening @dandydiary – just send us your links there.
For all who are not interested in downloading another app on their smartphone, will find the most recent pictures in a gallery on the right side, here on www.DandyDiary.de. And if you want it even more comfortable, go here: http://followgram.me/dandydiary
Inflationary, bad: Wood-Sunglasses!
On a daily-bases, press-releases by labels are reaching us, which have specialised in the production of sunglasses out of wood.
They are boasting themselves with sustainability. Are praising their work with totally funny slogans like 'Woody since 2012′, 'In Wood We Trust' or 'Done by nature, designed for your eyes'.
All die Holzbrillen-Designs von Marken wie Kerbholz, Stadtholz, Wood Fellas, WOODONE, ROLF Spectacles, Eric Lauer, Enzo Forciniti, Scherler oder Zeitgeist Berlin tun das nicht.
The Berlin-based label with the original name 'Stadtholz' is assuring that one 'really has a piece of nature on their nose', when purchasing their glasses.
But does one want that?! Having a piece of nature on your nose, when it looks bad. Sustainability is great and all. But fashion is mainly about design. And that should look good.
Plus, there is nothing more annoying than labels, who are massively pining 'sustainability' on their flag. Most of the times it is exactly those labels, who have as much to do with sustainability as bumm-bumm-Boris with the smart usage of Twitter. Not a lot.
KRISVANASSCHE is not going to be continued!
Shortly after Scott Sternberg announced the end of Band of Outsiders, Kris Van Assche has also informed the public, that the label, which also carries his name, is not going to be continued.
Kris Van Assche will mainly concentrate on his work for DIOR HOMME. The Belgian designer announced the end of his label through a hand-written letter which he gave to his business partners and the press.
'Times are tough for independent labels.', Van Assche said to WWD. 'This wonderful adventure has reached a point where I feel the need to take a break and some distance to better think about how to develop my brand in the future.'
We will miss the sporty-but-buttoned-up aesthetics by KRISVANASSCHE!

New York Fashion Week: Hood by Air AW 2015
HOOD BY AIR presented their new collection 'Daddy' in a cellar-like setting at the Wall Street, the centrum of finance.
The mastermind behind HBA, Shayne Oliver, showed classics from the world of fashion, like button-down shirts, sweaters and polo t-shirts in the typical unisex Hood by Air Silhouette. Therefore it came to an hybrid between polo shirt and dress. Or camel coat and tank top.
The models wore locks in-front of their mouths and tights over their heads, like burglars. The soundtrack of the show, total freedom, was ended drastically, followed by jazz, underlined with the statement of the Empire:
"I wanna show you a faggot really can run this company".
It becomes obvious how appreciated HBA is also in the art-world, when looking at the guests who attended the show, for example Klaus Biesenbach and Grace Coddington.
It seems that HBA, even after the diss by their once supporter A$AP ROCKY, is still very hip.

February NPD - Better than January, but still Disappointing - NewsAdrian Andrews, posted on 15 March 2013 / 3,004 Views
The NPD group has released their sales figures for February in the US, and although it's an improvement over January (particularly good when you consider January included 5 weeks compared to February's 4), it's still somewhat disappointing. In particular, games sales were down 25% compared to this time last year. Still, the 360 was on top, selling 302,000 units in February and making it the best selling console in the US for the 26th consecutive month. Which is crazy.
There's finally some good news for the next generation, as the Wii U sees a 40% weekly growth compared to January, and the Vita 30% growth. The Wii U's growth is particularly impressive when you consider no retail games were released for the system at all in February, but sales were still only around 64,000 for the Wii U and 36,000 for the PSV, which is... well, it's not great.
Also noteworthy is the 3DS has crossed the 8 million barrier in the US, helped along by impressive sales of Fire Emblem: Awakening, which sold 180,000 units (117,000 retail and 63,000 digital) in the month, particularly impressive when you consider the previous game in the series, Shadow Dragon, has only sold 250,000 units in the past 5 years. However, this was not enough for it to break into the top 10 for the month, which reads as follows:
- Dead Space 3 (360, PS3, PC)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II (360, PS3, Wii U, PC)**
- Crysis 3 (360, PS3, PC)
- NBA 2K13 (360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, PSP, PC)**
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PS3, 360)**
- Aliens: Colonial Marines (360, PS3, PC)**
- Just Dance 4 (Wii, 360, PS3, Wii U)
- Far Cry 3 (360, PS3, PC)
- Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PS3, PSV)
- Madden NFL 13 (360, PS3, Wii, PSV, Wii U)

Punch Homicide is one of the most important films ever made. What other
film or films will save so many lives and reduce injuries as much worldwide as
One Punch Homicide?
In making and promoting One Punch
Homicide I've developed a new theory to reduce violence against women. I'm
reluctant to call it a new theory because it's so simple I can't help but think
someone or some people must have thought of the idea before me. However,
in doing internet searches I've been unable to find anyone espousing the
idea, which is that the best way to reduce violence against women is to reduce
violence against men. Why? Men commit more acts of violence against
people than women. Also, those who have been victims of violence are more
likely to commit acts of violence against others. Therefore, if men were
victims of violence less often, then they would commit acts of violence against
others less often, and women would be victims of violence less often.
I've started a book on the theory, and if anyone has anything they want to
share, please contact me and place VIOLENCE BOOK in the subject box of your
I hope your film gets
wide distribution.
Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard Professor and Author, Massachusetts
"I thought it was
valuable....those in jail for one punch homicide tended to say the old Karate
maxims. This is mainly seen in the idea of walking away from the fight, how
killing someone destroys many lives, and that violence is not the
solution....This documentary is important for all ages to watch....As a martial
artist, someone who works with children, and someone trained in the medical
profession, I believe that if you teach or work with children that might get in
a fight you have an obligation to watch this...and...once a child is 14 they
should watch it as well, especially if they have been in fights or are training
in martial arts."
Rafael Gutierrez, MD and martial arts instructor, California
"Racine Public Library,
Racine, Wisconsin, hosted a showing of "One Punch Homicide" and a
discussion with the director afterwards. The audience members were amazed at the number
of people jailed for murder, because of a single punch. There was a good discussion of how
this information should be shared, with schools in particular because many of the inmates
were very young. The director, Steve Kokette, focused on letting the young men talk about
their situations. I recommend this program."
Jessica MacPhail, Director, Racine Public Library
Hollywood has convinced us
it is ok to hit a person in the head....People need to watch your film....New
and very young recruits at basic training...need this information.
Major Van Harl, USAF Ret. and writer, Oklahoma
"This meaningful project
depicts how these incidents ruin the lives of not only the victim's family, but
in many cases those of the perpetrator. These senseless types of
incidents result in the destruction of many lives of those individuals and
families who were never even close to the scene of the incident.
If you could get this documentary before the eyes of our youth, it could certainly and hopefully make someone think about throwing that punch in the heat of the moment that can change so many lives."
Arthur S. Lawson, Jr.
Chief of Police Gretna, Louisiana

"The interviews were absolutely riveting. And it's clear how prevalent this problem is...far more than anyone would imagine. I would think One Punch Homicide would have a significant impact on young people when they first start drinking. High school and college age people should see one Punch Homicide, especially if it is followed by a well-facilitated discussion. The discussion would keep kids who most need to take its message to heart from blowing it off after watching it." Jack Mitchell, retired teacher, Texas

"I really do think you hit a raw nerve and families and society should watch it." Ross Thompson, Homicide Victims' Support Network, Queensland, Australia, about the 87 minute version
I am very impressed with it. I would like to use it in my presentations...I would like to congratulate you on a job well, VERY WELL done. Ross Thompson, Homicide Victims' Support Network, Queensland, Australia, about the 20 minute school version.
It was VERY informative.
Cecil Washington, martial arts instructor and software tester, Maryland
Half of One Punch Homicide interviews five inmates who killed someone with one punch and only one punch. A more remorseful group of people you'll probably never see. Who thinks they're going to kill someone with a single punch? But isn't that the problem? Ignorance? I can't help wonder if these inmates would have thrown their deadly punch if they had been raised being taught one punch can kill. Future generations should grow up being taught, unlike past generations, that one punch can kill. Not only would it reduce punching incidents, but it would reduce more deadly types of violence too because punching incidents often escalate in to using more deadly weapons, such as guns, knives, bats, etc.
The United Nations' World Health Organization says every year billions of dollars are spent worldwide on injuries related to punching incidents, and in doing research for One Punch Homicide I found over 300 instances where people were killed with one punch. We have no idea how many hundreds or thousands of people are killed worldwide every year by a single punch.
One Punch Homicide is a documentary that will reduce violence, crime, murders, and bullying, possibly more than anything in our time. It's about people who killed and were killed with one punch, and only one punch, and their loved ones. It will reduce violence against everyone - the elderly, disabled, lgbt, children, women, and men.
In 1998 the American Psychiatric Association stated that by the time Americans reached the age of 18 they had seen, on average, 200,000 acts of violence on screen. Aren't we cheating today's young by allowing them to watch so much violence without educating them that one punch can kill?
Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg of King County, which includes Seattle, Washington, says King County has four to six one punch homicides every year. If King County's one punch homicide rate is average for the U.S., which is impossible to tell because no one in the U.S., including the FBI, keeps statistics on the subject, then the U.S. has between 500 and 1,000 one punch homicides every year. Although this isn't a huge number, it has other implications. Most single punches don't result in a death, but for every death by one punch, how many other people experience serious injuries, including brain damage, because of one punch - 10, 20, 50, 100, or more?
I didn't make One Punch Homicide because I knew someone who had died from one punch. I was inspired to make it because I read of two one punch homicides within days of one another - one was the actual event, which happened in Madison, Wisconsin, in December of 2008, and the other was the sentencing hearing for an assailant. However, while working on the film, I learned of three friends or acquaintances whose lives were changed by one punch, and only one punch. One lost his peripheral vision in one eye. Another had six surgeries on an eye socket that was destroyed. He said if he didn't have the operations his eye ball might literally fall out. And the third spent a month in the hospital convalescing from his injuries. So in trying to prevent punches from being thrown, there's far more involved than trying to prevent one punch homicides.
I, the creator of One Punch Homicide, really enjoy showing the film publicly and answering audience questions afterwards. I wish I could afford to do this for free, but I have to be paid. If after you've seen the film you might be interested in having me do a "talkback" after a public showing of the film in your community, please contact me at email@example.com. (You can see from a review above the Racine Public Library Director not only liked the film, but my talkback afterwards.)
An NBC news report called Why Domestic Violence Prevention Programs Don't Work claims there aren't any successful programs for getting men to stop being batterers after they've started. The new focus is on trying to change the behavior of males at a young age before they become domestic abusers. One Punch Homicide was made for showing primarily to those in their teens and 20s so they won't throw punches against anyone.
Half of One Punch Homicide is interviews with five inmates in five U.S. states who killed someone with one punch. It also has interviews with loved ones of seven who died from one punch, and about 30 gravestones of those who died from a single punch in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, with brief comments on each incident. (It looks briefly at 37 one punch homicide incidents.) It also shows the Garden of Angels, a hillside near Fort Worth dedicated to murdered children.
Keep in mind that the online quality of video is inferior to any DVD you will buy from this site.
ONE PUNCH HOMICIDE Movie {$1.00 US}
Although One Punch Homicide was made primarily to convince teens, particularly boys, to never throw a first punch, it was made so adults would find it interesting too. While making the film I was surprised at how many adults have a fascination with death, especially people killing people. At any given time, there is always at least one top ten selling book about death, and at least one movie about death in the top ten selling movies. The first audience to see One Punch Homicide had eight adults. Five of them said it was riveting. (The other three left before the impromptu poll was taken.) One of those polled was an ex-U.S. marine in his 50s who admitted to starting some fights by throwing the first punch. He also said in the 1980s he'd worked awhile as a bouncer, where he once knocked someone out with one punch. He said One Punch Homicide made him feel incredibly grateful he'd never killed anyone, and he vowed to never throw another first punch. I hadn't foreseen anyone having this type of reaction to the film, and it made me wonder how many millions of people there might be like him who would have a similar reaction to seeing it.
With the five interviews One Punch Homicide has with inmates talking about the bleakness of prison life, it should also discourage teens and others from committing crimes in general.
So if you're thinking of watching One Punch Homicide and wondering who you might want to watch it with, here are three suggestions:
1) Any teen - female or male.
2) Anyone who has a history of throwing a first punch to start a fight.
3) Because it would be appropriate to show to students in college or high school assemblies or classes, anyone involved in their education - teachers, school board members, principals, headmasters, etc.
If you're a parent with a history of throwing first punches against anyone and don't want your kids to follow in your footsteps, and/or were physically abused as a child, please consider showing your own kids One Punch Homicide.
Putting an end to
human physical abuse - of the elderly, disabled, lgbt, children, women, and men
- has always involved ending it one abuser at a time. One of the problems
to putting an end to abuse by one abuser at a time is that new cases pop up and
often go undetected for years, and perhaps forever. And although this is
a very important way to end abuse, one abuser at a time, perhaps we should be
giving more thought to somehow discouraging those who might become abusers from
ever physically abusing anyone. With that said, One Punch Homicide was
made primarily with the hope that it will discourage some from ever becoming
physical abusers.
Which organizations should consider owning One Punch Homicide? Schools, Public Libraries, Boy's/Girl's Clubs, Law Enforcement Agencies, Juvenile Court Systems, Domestic Violence Shelters, Anti-Violence Groups, Places of Worship, Security Businesses, and Marshall Arts Centers.

Students must work in a managerially relevant position for a minimum of six weeks for a total of 120 hours; however, departments vary in this requirement. All internships for credit must be approved by the Internship Programs Office and/or other faculty designee.
What if my internship doesn't specifically relate to my major? Can I still earn credit?
Yes, students are eligible for general credit under GEB 4941 as long as the internship is business related.
Does the College of Business give credit to students minoring in business?
Yes, the GEB 4941 (General Business Internship) course applies to business minors and students not formally admitted to the college as long as they have secured a business-related internship.
Is credit offered for an internship completed in the past?
No, the internship course must be taken concurrently with the internship.
Is credit required for all internships?
No, internship credit can be taken as an elective if the student so chooses. The only business majors that require an internship are the professional sales major and the Master of Marketing (MSM) program.
Undergraduates can opt to take a 0-credit hour internship (GEB 4941) and have the internship appear on their permanent transcript (e.g. transcript notation/recognition). Students enrolled in other coursework during the semester may enroll in a 0-credit hour internship with no additional tuition or fees. Students enrolling in a 0-credit hour internship as their only course during the semester will be charged tuition and fees for one (1) credit hour. Students are encouraged to check with financial aid on any updates and/or changes that may occur in this regard.
Can I get credit for a second internship?
Yes, a student can complete a second internship. However, it will count only as general elective credit and must be completed as GEB 4941. Students cannot repeat an internship course.
Can I receive credit for an unpaid internship?
Yes, students may receive credit for paid or unpaid internship experiences.
Can I receive more than three (3) credit hours for my internship?
Yes, only if the internship is abroad. Students approved for an international internship can receive up to six (6) credit hours
Please make sure to review our Internship Programs Office Policies and Procedures for students (PDF).

looks like we got this thing solidly won! Now the next step is for when this lady logs in and plays for 6 weeks we give her the best possible experience, lots of grouping, lots of dungeons, so she can spread the word on how highly under rated and great this game really is. And it is great. I can play 45 different other MMO's, but I chose this one and I pay $15 every month. That's got to mean something. This game is special and I don't think it ever got the credit it deserved.
3 cheers for conan!

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a group of genetic disorders that affects movement and feeling in the limbs. The disease progresses slowly and causes damage to the peripheral nerves. These nerves control muscles and transmit sensation.
CMT can be classified in a number of ways:
CMT is caused by defects in specific genes.
The primary risk factor for developing CMT is having family members with this disease.
Usually, symptoms first appear in children and young adults. The first sign of CMT is often a high arched foot or difficulty walking. Other symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
You may have nerve and muscle functions tested. This can be done with:
Your doctor may need to test your DNA. This can be done with a blood test.
Although there is no cure for CMT, treatment may help to improve function, coordination, and mobility. Treatment is also vital to protect against injury due to muscle weakness and reduced sensation. Treatment may include:
There are no known ways to prevent CMT. If you have CMT or have risk factors, you may want to talk to a genetic counselor before deciding to have children.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Army has identified 285 more patients at Madigan Army Medical Center who had their diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder reversed by a forensic psychiatry team in the past five years — and they'll be given the option of having their cases reviewed once again to determine if they suffer from PTSD.
Soldiers who are diagnosed with PTSD can qualify for a medical retirement that offers a pension and other benefits. The Army is investigating whether Madigan doctors who reviewed PTSD diagnoses were influenced by concerns about the cost of providing such benefits.
The investigation was started in January, following complaints from soldiers whose PTSD diagnoses had been reversed. Seventeen soldiers contested their cases, and six had their diagnoses reinstated by doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Seattle Times reports (http://is.gd/04Dai5) that the Army has identified an additional 285 whose PTSD diagnoses were reversed.

Rest week.. haven't gotten on the bike yet this week but it'll all be ok.
Legs were not firing last night. I couldn't deliver the watts on the last 2 intervals. Power kept dropping, heart rate wasn't going up. I think my body just didn't feel like working hard or the day before really wrecked me...
Oh and rain...ugh!
-Cat-3-o-meter: TBD :/
I've been at this for a few years now and my 1min power has never been north of 350w. I can train it as much as I like, but it never moves around much.
The thing that training does help me with is having the ability to repeat that effort numerous times in a race.
I'm also a small guy, 135lbs, so small numbers. Also, about to turn 47 so not sure how much that has to do with it.
It's actually quite frustrating that in an 8min test I can hold about 280w, but in a 2min interval I have trouble hitting numbers above 300w.
"if you ride it the way it's meant to be ridden there's no way any wife is less of a ***** than a bicycle." - gstein
I think a low 1' number like that can largely be a result of a faulty testing technique. You should push your MMP graph up on all durations between 1 second and 60 seconds for a 1' test. Realistically, I've never hit a max 5" power on a 1' test, but that is my goal -- legs still seem to overpower my mind on that one for some reason. Do you have a graph from a 1' test? I bumped my 1' power up 200W in a week, just by improving my technique.
Regarding repeatibility, I've discovered that I can repeat a 1' power that is on the same profiling row as my threshold power. The 'delta' between that row and my true 1' power is not so repeatable -- maybe once at 100% and once at 95%, then I'm done. If I bump ~150W down to the same row as threshold, I can get a few more in. Not sure if that makes sense. Say my 1' power is 800W, but the row that contains my FTP has a 1' power of 700W. I've found that I can do 800W and 720W, then I'm done. Or, I can do 700W like four times. So this effect might be reflected in your race experiences.
A few hours of Z2 in the cold and wind, on the single speed.
I hadn't planned to do a lot of climbing but the wind was blowing strongly up a big climb I was about to ride past so I figured what the heck. Then it started snowing. It turns out that climbing on a heavy single speed with a strong tailwind in the snow is kind of fun! I was surrounded by a cloud of snowflakes that were all going up the hill at the same speed as me. I got warm enough to fog my glasses.
Sadly what goes up must come down, and it was damn cold on the descent. Luckily descending is faster than climbing, and the temptation to give up and turn around is lower too
2hrs with 2x10min steady state and 3x2min Power Intervals...
Power Intervals went much better tonight. Wattage was still a tad low, but the body is starting to adapt to these efforts...

Went up to the mountains between the storms to see the snow. Figured Big Bear would be too cold, so I settled for Oak Glen; still an HC climb (first one in years). Got up the top and no snow! Did see a Bald Eagle though and had some awesome apple pie and cider at the top.

Good lil group ride with some higher speed intervals.
Didn't have a lot of time, so stationary Tabatas. They suck, but they're over quickly.

the car is usually traveling between 50-60, its wet out(raining or snowing) when it happens. May only happen once in the morning and maybe not for a week, then when its snowing and traveling 50 drop out 6-7 times. The car has over 230m, it started happening at 199m

BEST Headphones You Can Buy for the Money!
Apr 17, 2014
By Jeanne Gross "Reviews by Lance"
[[VIDEOID:moLOL2NIPBY2NG]]This is a video review from my YouTube Channel
First to give you some context, I have tested and listened to many, many different bluetooth headphones such as: Sony MDR-1RBT, Beats, Parrot Zik, SoundBot SB240/SB270, Avantree Jogger/Hive/Audition, Bluedio Model R, AF32, Jabra REVO, Creative WP-350/WP-450, Motorola S305, Rokit Boost by Swage, GoGroove Headbands, Photive BTH3, Mpow and so on. So I have a real good idea of what you generally get sound, comfort and feature wise at different price points.
For the money, these are the best sounding headphones in the $100 and under category.
In my video review you'll see me talk about:
1. Sound Quality
2. Comfort
3. Build Quality
4. Features
If you want to hear a live sound leak test then refer to my original YouTube video as I wasn't able to keep the full length here.
These are the perfect all-purpose bluetooth pair of headphones that specialize in producing a very engaging listening experience. They also have loads of cool features such as staying paired to two different devices at the same time, being able to have two people listen to the same bluetooth device and the ability to use them as wired headphones! You can even fold them flat (as shown in video).
Initially, I found these headphones to be a little too clampy for me. Meaning, I could wear them for 2-3 hours before needing to give my head a rest. However, if you stretch them out (ie. over a pillow, etc.) then they get to be quite comfortable.
Bottom line, if someone gave me $100 to spend and I could only pick one pair of headphones, these would be the ones!
ENJOY the video!

Easily the best dual wired/bluetooth Headphones under $100
May 02, 2014
By Dan
I've had several headphones both bluetooth and wired. You usually get what you pay for. My great sounding $7 Panasonic RPHJE120S ear buds have been the exception. I wanted a pair of headphones I could use wirelessly around the house and wired while on plane rides. Any headphone (even bluetooth) sound their best while wired especially when used with a music device that doesn't have the Apt-X codec built in.
For under $100 these Creative WP-380 offer phenomenal value. The sound quality wired or bluetooth rivals $150-$200 pairs of headphones. You won't quite get Audio-Technica ATH-M50 type sound BUT you do get something fairly close to that. Vocals will sound very clear and you'll hear a lot of detail in the voice. Bass is a little pronounced which I prefer but doesn't overpower and isn't muddy. Highs are pronounced as well but can sound a tiny bit metallic on violin or other high pitched instruments (very minor complaint).
I've read some complaints about sound leakage. These are On Ear not Over The Ear headphones. They won't seal up the sound as well as Over the Ear but they really leak far less than other On Ear brands I've tried. At 50-70% volume there is hardly any leak and even at 100% there is only minor sound leakage compared to other brands. I can listen to these at 70% volume on a plane and the person next to me won't hear a thing unless they put their ear 1 inch from my headphones.
It's hard to get more value for the money and for having the flexibility to go wired or wireless you can't go wrong with this set. Battery life is good for around 10-12 hours depending on how much idle time there is between turning them off. Range is good at 30-40 ft. (unless there are 5 walls between you). The flat 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone cable included with these is very premium and looks and sounds excellent. These fit snug at first but loosen up a bit over 5-6 days of use. If they're too tight for you just stretch them over 1-2 pillows overnight. Most importantly if you sweat while wearing these let them dry overnight before attempting to charge them so you don't burn them out. Hope this helps you decide.
Edit: May 8, 2014 - I just learned that if you double tap the multifunction button (phone symbol) a female voice will tell you how much battery life is left! Very sweet feature.

Voice recognition software
Sep 24, 2014
By Mickey Sarver
I have had my WP – 380 headphones for a while now and they work great. I use "Dragon naturally speak" voice recognition software extensively. As a matter of fact I'm using it now. I can listen to soft music as I study and dictate notes to Microsoft word while strolling around the house, or sitting on the back porch. They are very comfortable. I have worn them for quite a while and it gets to the point that I almost forget that I have them on. They replaced another set of Creative wired headphones that worked very well but limited my mobility.

Great Headphones
Aug 28, 2014
By Veridicus
Great headphones. Sound is fantastic. I really like the buttons on the side of the right headphone which allows you to remotely pause, advance, etc your music playlist as well as control volume.
Batteries hold charge for a long time.
My only disappointment is that I enjoy listening to music through headphones when I'm trying to fall asleep at night. When connected to Bluetooth, there is an annoying blue light that flashes on the right side of the headphones. It is bright enough to annoy my wife because it flashes on her. So I had to tape a piece of black electrical tape over the light.
Other than that minor annoyance, these headphones are fantastic.

Not that great - very detailed explanation of the dealbreaker design flaws for me.
Jun 14, 2014
By Farmer
I got these to replace my Miikey 'Rhythm' BT phones, which were about the same price, maybe a little more but not much. The Miikey's were mostly great, except that they had a stupid charging jack (uncommon tiny barrel plug, ugh, fie on thee!) and perhaps a few other little imperfect details here and there. Then they broke electronically and mechanically, so I looked around a lot and then ordered these Creatives, and btw, received a set that is obviously a return item, which is always worrisome with electronic gear that uses rechargeable batteries. As for the phones themselves, I'm not impressed. They're not very comfortable, like having two disks clamped to your head. Yeah, I could try to stretch them out, but then they won't seal to my ear as well. That might be fine in a quiet workplace, but I want them to block out noise and immerse me in a comfort zone of music so I can go to my happy place when I'm riding the train, walking around, biking (when in an environment that I can do this safely or on a trainer indoors), flying kites on the beach, whatever. I want to get in the zone with my tunes, you know?
With these, there are several issues:
They creak! The plastic joints make noise whenever I move.
The discomfort mentioned above makes me want to take them off sooner rather than later. It's a distraction.
Sound: The mid-range sounds harsh and grating to me, not conducive to my 'zone'.
The controls are terrible! The track buttons are okay, but the volume buttons and multipurpose button are awful, and these are important to me. These buttons are connected on a single rounded sorta-triangular plate that rocks (tilts) as one piece. There are tiny raised icons for each function that are really difficult to find and discern because they are sooo tiny and are placed between two plastic edges. And the tilting motion is not clean and discrete (i.e. limited to just the motion in the three button directions), but rather it flexes anywhere you push it, such as on the rounded corners between buttons. It's awful, a terrible design! Forget about using this with even the thinnest of gloves. The button action (depth of movement when you press it) is very slight and the moving part you push on is set inside an unmoving ridge around the rocker part, so when you try to push the button, your tactile feedback (fingertip sensation) is dominated by this big corner/ridge that doesn't move while your fingertip digs around trying to find the part that's moving (barely) under your smushy finger pad. And because it's a big rounded triangle with a big semicircular hinge piece around it (the silver part), when you reach up to touch the buttons, your hand feels a big round hinge piece and then has to find a rounded triangle thing within that somewhere, and then feel around that roundish, triangulish thing to figure out where the buttons might be, and it's not like they're just on the top and bottom or front and rear, so you could quickly orient yourself, they're set back from the center (the volume buttons in this case) above and below each other somewhere on the rear edge of that trianguly thing inside the big round hinge thing, and tilted at opposite angles. So I find it hard to orient quickly and find the buttons when I need them. But wait it gets worse: there is a delayed response with every button press, much longer than with my previous BT headphones. So on top of being confused whether I have found the right button and successfully pressed it or not, there is a pause before anything happens. "Did I press it? I thought I pressed it. Oh wait, yeah, there it goes. Oh crap I pressed it twice and now it's off again."
Not to mention both sides of the headphone are shaped exactly the same, so if I happen to put them on with left/right sides reversed, my hand is up there trying to find the micro-sub-braille button icons, rubbing around on the damn thing like a genie in a bottle until I figure out they're not even there. Does the manufacturer not understand that a headphone button is something you cannot see while using it???
Normally I listen to music via my phone, but I have found that when I pull out my phone and wake the screen, the music skips.
I would characterize the overall build quality as cheap and the design as ugly. The big hinge piece on each side is a molded plastic part that is hollow and open on one side with the wires showing (they're just sort of stuffed in there). It has casting seams visible, and is painted a tacky silver color that chips off easily. So it looks exactly like a piece of a cheap plastic kids' toy. On the outside of each earpiece at the center is a glossy, soft plastic face that already has scratches on it right out of the box. Above the big silver hinge thing is more of this shiny plastic that scratches easily and looks tacky to boot.
The Speakers: I notice that my previous Miikey headphones were the same overall size but had 40mm drivers, while these only have 34's. Of course there is a lot more to speaker quality than diameter, but in a side-by-side comparison, the 40mm Miikeys sound a lot better to me. As in 'ahh, music, rich, nice, I feel good' (the Miikeys) vs 'music, it's on. oh, this song sounds pretty good, but aah! this song I normally like is grating on me, ugh where is the volume button, where is the firiggin volume button?!!?#%!!! Did I press it yet?' And of course there's that plastic creaking whenever I move my head, which kinda makes the whole speaker quality thing moot.
Another small interesting point I noticed about the design, regarding the L/R thing, they made these things so the cups turn 90 degrees to fold flat, right? fine. The natural, easy way to put on the headphones would be to hold them with the open cups facing you and then twist them slightly as they slide onto your head. But interestingly, they chose to make them in exactly the opposite of the natural direction for use, and they actually had to make them rotate a bit more than 90 degrees to compensate for this. With these, you have to grasp them with the cups facing away from you and then twist them so the cups face inward, and just a little past that til they won't go any farther, and hold them in that position under tension while you put them on, and all the while they want to flip back around and face away from you again. So you have to maintain the twist on them until they are seated on your ears. Think I'm crazy? Try it a few times. One way you have to grip, twist, and hold the earcups while trying to get them seated on your ears. The other way, with left and right reversed, you can put them on without even holding onto the ear cups at all. You can grip them by the head band and slide them right onto your ears. Switch back and try to do this the 'right' way, holding only the band. It's like an idiotic exercise. They hang up on your face and ears and flip away the wrong direction. It's like the designers just don't care.
