Friday was an amazingly beautiful day! After a low at Philadelphia International Airport of 63(50s in the suburbs) we reached 82 shortly before 4pm with sunshine and some fair weather cumulus clouds in the afternoon. There was a light northerly breeze and although we were roughly five degrees below average for the high and low, who cares? It's a nice feeling of late August and early September.
Overnight lows will be in the lower 60s in Center City(50s once again in the suburbs) with a clear sky and then Saturday shall be sun-filled with some fair weather cumulus clouds in the afternoon with highs in the lower 80s. There will be a nice refreshing northerly wind, but along the shore there will be a sea breeze so it will be in the 70s across the beaches. After overnight lows on either side of 60 the same will go for Sunday, but just a touch warmer with highs approaching the middle 80s.
High pressure just continues to situate itself across the Northeast so on Monday it will be in the lower 80s with a more easterly wind as there will be a "changing of the guard" with a newer high pressure area pushing in from the north and we'll be on the easterly side of it. It's not until Tuesday when we'll get into a southerly flow ahead of a cold front. Highs will be in the middle 80s with increasing clouds in the afternoon, but showers and thunderstorms shall hold off until the late evening.
Overnight Tuesday lows will be in the upper 60s with continued showers and thunderstorms while Wednesday morning showers and thunderstorms shall come to an end as the frontal boundary pushes through with highs in the middle and upper 80s before falling by sunset.
Enjoy this weekend and remember that you can check out the 7-day forecast(as well as obtain radar and satellite maps) any time at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.

vampizona is brian cartwright's first collection of his photography and is also a charitable giving effort. 100% of the profits from this book are donated to the charity Tracie's Tooth Fairy.
Tracie's Tooth Fairy raises funds to help chemotherapy patients get the funds they need for dental reconstruction. Chemotherapy can cause massive tooth damage and is sadly not covered by virtually all dental insurance providers.
So vampizona is my effort to trade fangs for teeth. I hope you'll purchase a copy which will benefit their important and charitable work.
The book is narrative sequence of square format lo-fi images exploring the theme of vampire and vampire hunter set against the American southwest.

On the day after the first open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act came to an end, with more than 7.1 million enrolled, President Obama declared, "this law is doing what it's supposed to do. It's working. It's helping people from coast to coast, all of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people or undermine the law, or try to repeal the law without offering any plausible alternative so hard to understand."
the President spoke in the Rose Garden of the cold statistics and personal stories of people impacted by the ability to access affordable health insurance - without paying penalty or being excluded for pre-conditions.
Some 129 million Americans have pre-conditions that would have disqualified them from obtaining health insurance. Under the old regime, just being a woman qualified as a "precondition."
On the last day of open-enrollment, people queued up in lines around the block. The administration said that anyone who had at least started an application would be allowed to complete it.
"The truth is, even more folks want to sign up. So anybody who was stuck in line because of the huge surge in demand over the past few days can still go back and finish your enrollment," the President said.
There was such a surge to the finish line that at one point 125,000 people were signed on to the healthcare.gov site at the same time - and the system temporarily shut down.
"As the first open-enrollment period under this law came to an end, and despite several lost weeks out of the gate because of problems with the website, 7.1 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance plans through these marketplaces - 7.1 million."
That figure topped the 7 million that was projected by the Congressional Budget Office.
The 7.1 million enrollments are on top of the more than 3 million young adults who have gained insurance under this law by staying on their family's plan, the President said. "That's on top of the millions more who have gained access through Medicaid expansion and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Making affordable coverage available to all Americans, including those with preexisting conditions, is now an important goal of this law."
The President continued:
And in these first six months, we've taken a big step forward. And just as importantly, this law is bringing greater security to Americans who already have coverage. Because of the Affordable Care Act, 100 million Americans have gained free preventive care, like mammograms and contraceptive care, under their existing plans. (Applause.) Because of this law, nearly 8 million seniors have saved almost $10 billion on their medicine because we've closed a gaping hole in Medicare's prescription drug plan. We're closing the donut hole. (Applause.) And because of this law, a whole lot of families won't be driven into bankruptcy by a serious illness, because the Affordable Care Act prevents your insurer from placing dollar limits on the coverage they provide.
The law can be credited with the largest expansion of health coverage in 50 years - since Medicare. At least 9.5 million previously uninsured have received coverage - through the marketplace and the expanded Medicaid.
And in the most recent poll, for the first time, a larger proportion of Americans (49%) say they support ACA, versus 48% who oppose.
This is in context, too, of a trend that had taken hold for a decade of declining percentage of employers offering health care, more workers making minimum wage without any health benefits. In 2008, fewer than half of Americans obtained health coverage through their employers (49.2%), by 2010, the year the Affordable Care Act was signed, the percentage had dropped to 45.8% of Americans, and by 2012, the percentage had dropped further, to 44.5%. Meanwhile, the percentage of uninsured Americans remained about 11%.
The President said:
Now, that doesn't mean that all the problems in health care have been solved forever," the President said. "Premiums are still rising for families who have insurance, whether you get it through your employer or you buy it on your own -- that's been true every year for decades. But, so far, those premiums have risen more slowly since the Affordable Care Act passed than at any time in the past 50 years.
It's also true that, despite this law, millions of Americans remain uncovered in part because governors in some states for political reasons have deliberately refused to expand coverage under this law. But we're going to work on that. And we'll work to get more Americans covered with each passing year. (Applause.)
And while it remains true that you'll still have to change your coverage if you graduate from college or turn 26 years old or move or switch jobs, or have a child -- just like you did before the Affordable Care Act was passed -- you can now go to healthcare.gov and use it year-round to enroll when circumstances in your life change. So, no, the Affordable Care Act hasn't completely fixed our long-broken health care system, but this law has made our health care system a lot better -- a lot better. (Applause.)
All told, because of this law, millions of our fellow citizens know the economic security of health insurance who didn't just a few years ago -- and that's something to be proud of. Regardless of your politics or your feelings about me, or your feelings about this law, that's something that's good for our economy, and it's good for our country. And there's no good reason to go back.
The President offered some examples from among individuals who have corresponded with him about their experience:
Sean Casey, from Solana Beach, California, always made sure to cover his family on the private market. But preexisting medical conditions meant his annual tab was over $30,000. The Affordable Care Act changed that. See, if you have a preexisting condition, like being a cancer survivor, or if you suffer chronic pain from a tough job, or even if you've just been charged more for being a woman -– you can no longer be charged more than anybody else. So this year, the Casey family's premiums will fall from over $30,000 to under $9,000. (Applause.)
And I know this because Sean took the time to write me a letter. "These savings," he said, "will almost offset the cost of our daughter's first year in college. I'm a big believer in this legislation, and it has removed a lot of complexity and, frankly, fear from my life. Please keep fighting for the ACA." That's what Sean had to say.
Jeanne Goe is a bartender from Enola, Pennsylvania. Now, I think most folks are aware being a bartender, that's a job that usually doesn't offer health care. For years, Jeanne went uninsured or underinsured, often getting some health care through her local Planned Parenthood. In November, she bought a plan on the marketplace. In January, an illness sent her to the hospital. And because her new plan covered a CAT scan she wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford, her doctor discovered that she also had ovarian cancer -– and gave her a chance to beat it. So she wrote me a letter, too. She said it's going to be "a long tough road to kill this cancer, but I can walk that road knowing insurance isn't an issue. I won't be refused care. I hope to send a follow-up letter in a few months saying I am free and clear of this disease, but until then, I know I will be fighting just as you have been fighting for my life as a working American citizen."
And after her first wellness visit under her new insurance plan, Marla Morine, from Fort Collins, Colorado, shared with me what it meant to her. "After using my new insurance for the first time, you probably heard my sigh of relief from the White House." (Laughter.) "I felt like a human being again. I felt that I had value."
That's what the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is all about -– making sure that all of us, and all our fellow citizens, can count on the security of health care when we get sick; that the work and dignity of every person is acknowledged and affirmed. The newly insured like Marla deserve that dignity. Working Americans like Jeanne deserve that economic security. Women, the sick, survivors -- they deserve fair treatment in our health care system, all of which makes the constant politics around this law so troubling.
Like every major piece of legislation -- from Social Security to Medicare -- the law is not perfect. We've had to make adjustments along the way, and the implementation -- especially with the website -- has had its share of problems. We know something about that. And, yes, at times this reform has been contentious and confusing, and obviously it's had its share of critics. That's part of what change looks like in a democracy. Change is hard. Fixing what's broken is hard. Overcoming skepticism and fear of something new is hard. A lot of times folks would prefer the devil they know to the devil they don't.
But this law is doing what it's supposed to do. It's working. It's helping people from coast to coast, all of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people or undermine the law, or try to repeal the law without offering any plausible alternative so hard to understand. I've got to admit, I don't get it. Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance? Many of the tall tales that have been told about this law have been debunked. There are still no death panels. (Laughter.) Armageddon has not arrived. Instead, this law is helping millions of Americans, and in the coming years it will help millions more.
I've said before, I will always work with anyone who is willing to make this law work even better. But the debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay. (Applause.)
And those who have based their entire political agenda on repealing it have to explain to the country why Jeanne should go back to being uninsured. They should explain why Sean and his family should go back to paying thousands and thousands of dollars more. They've got to explain why Marla doesn't deserve to feel like she's got value. They have to explain why we should go back to the days when seniors paid more for their prescriptions or women had to pay more than men for coverage, back to the days when Americans with preexisting conditions were out of luck -- they could routinely be denied the economic security of health insurance -- because that's exactly what would happen if we repeal this law. Millions of people who now have health insurance would not have it. Seniors who have gotten discounts on their prescription drugs would have to pay more. Young people who were on their parents' plan would suddenly not have health insurance.
In the end, history is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. And that's what the Affordable Care Act represents. As messy as it's been sometimes, as contentious as it's been sometimes, it is progress. It is making sure that we are not the only advanced country on Earth that doesn't make sure everybody has basic health care. (Applause.) And that's thanks in part to leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin, and all the members of Congress who are here today. We could not have done it without them, and they should be proud of what they've done. They should be proud of what they've done. (Applause.)
And it's also thanks to the often-unheralded work of countless Americans who fought tirelessly to pass this law, and who organized like crazy these past few months to help their fellow citizens just get the information they needed to get covered. That's why we're here today. That's why 7.1 million folks have health insurance -- because people got the word out.
And we didn't make a hard sell. We didn't have billions of dollars of commercials like some critics did. But what we said was, look for yourself, see if it's good for your family. And a whole lot of people decided it was. So I want to thank everybody who worked so hard to make sure that we arrived at this point today.
I want to make sure everybody understands: In the months, years ahead, I guarantee you there will be additional challenges to implementing this law. There will be days when the website stumbles -- I guarantee it. So, press, just -- I want you to anticipate -- (laughter) -- there will be some moment when the website is down -- and I know it will be on all of your front pages. It's going to happen. It won't be news. There will be parts of the law that will still need to be improved. And if we can stop refighting old political battles that keep us gridlocked, then we could actually make the law work even better for everybody. And we're excited about the prospect of doing that. We are game to do it. (Applause.)
But today should remind us that the goal we set for ourselves -- that no American should go without the health care that they need; that no family should be bankrupt because somebody in that family gets sick, because no parent should have to be worried about whether they can afford treatment because they're worried that they don't want to have to burden their children; the idea that everybody in this country can get decent health care -- that goal is achievable.
We are on our way. And if all of us have the courage and the wisdom to keep working not against one another, not to scare each other, but for one another –- then we won't just make progress on health care. We'll make progress on all the other work that remains to create new opportunity for everybody who works for it, and to make sure that this country that we love lives up to its highest ideals. That's what today is about. That's what all the days that come as long as I'm President are going to be about. That's what we're going to be working towards.
What is the reaction of Republicans to the images of people getting into line at a center to sign up at 3:30 am, and calling and signing up by the hundreds of thousands?
"I don't think it means anything. I think they're cooking the books," Sen. John Barrasso (R-W).
Republicans - which have tried more than 50 times to repeal Obamacare - are still pushing to repeal of Obamacare.

Always get the ball
This might work only about 9 out of 10 times...first off you have to go to settings and turn penalties off then when your choosing a kickoff play chose "onside kick" then when your moving the arrow around point it towards your team and keep it low but not to low then when you kick it keep the energy on the meter as low as it can go.
CPU control
Snap the ball. Do not press anything else. The CPU will sense that you are not playing and will play for you. They will almost get a touchdown or a very good pass or run. If you press anything after the snap, you will have to play. This works best on pass plays, and only works on offense.

Easier College Classics
To ensure your success at the College Classics challenges, start a game, then go to the AI Settings in the Settings menu (from the pause screen). Set all of the CPU's offensive and defensive skills as low as they can go. You can also change any penalties you'd like. We suggest turning off defensive pass intereference if the Classic you're trying to beat involve any sort of pass defense.
Extra Campus Challenge Points
Play several games at the Heisman level, however alter the AI settings in the settings menu before playing. Set the CPU levels at their lowest, and the Human levels at their highest. This will force the CPU to make a lot more mistakes and you to allocate challenge points, which can be used to purchase pennants and unlock other secrets within the game. The play level is still very difficult, but with your added AI, you should be able to be successful.

Maiduguri, Enugu, Abuja — A group of soldiers in Maiduguri yesterday refused orders to deploy to fight Boko Haram militants in some areas of Borno State until they receive better equipment.
The incident happened after soldiers from the Maimalari Barracks were asked to move to a location in Damboa and to Gwoza town, which has been under Boko Haram control for two weeks now.
Daily Trust learnt that dozens of troops were mobilised at the barracks and asked to board vehicles to head to Gwoza and Dalwa village in Damboa where some troops were ambushed on Tuesday.
The two separate teams drove out of Maiduguri but stopped in the outskirts of the city and said they would not move an inch further until they were provided with adequate weapons to confront the insurgents.
Some of the soldiers, who spoke to Daily Trust on condition of anonymity, said Boko Haram insurgents have superior weapons.
"Whenever we voice our grievances within the precinct of the barracks, our superiors accuse us of disobedience... Sometimes they even say we would face mutiny charges and that is why we forced our drivers to stop at Bulabulin," one of the soldiers said.
"We were only given guns and some ammunitions, even the armoured tank that we are supposed to go with was withdrawn, and that is why we said we would not move an inch."
Another soldier said they were asked to go to Dalwa in Damboa where troops run into a deadly ambush laid by insurgents.
"After the Boko Haram insurgents were displaced from Damboa, they moved towards Gwoza and suddenly some of them appeared again in Dalwa. Sadly, they ambushed our colleagues on Tuesday which resulted in casualties on both sides," the soldier said.
"Our superiors directed that we must go back today (yesterday) and we feel this is not proper. We want superior weapons so that we can confront the insurgents head on."
Asked if their action did not amount to mutiny, the soldier said, "You can give it whatever name you like but we have to be alive before we can fight. We lost dozens of our colleagues these days simply because we don't have fighting equipment."
Another soldier, who spoke to the BBC Hausa, said at least 40 of his colleagues rejected orders to deploy to areas where insurgents hold sway.
"Soldiers are dying like fowl... The Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram," he said. "Boko Haram are inside the bush, everywhere... They (senior commanders) are sacrificing soldiers."
When contacted yesterday, Defence spokesman Major-General Chris Olukolade told Daily Trust the report of soldiers' revolt was false.
"That degree of cowardice is not in the character of a real soldier of the Nigerian army," he said in a text message to our reporter.
"The series of lies contained in the alleged responses of the faceless person referred to as a soldier confirms the whole arrangement as another step of the mischief makers working for terrorists.
"No soldier has been sent on any mission without being armed. Each soldier answers for his action in terms of discipline. Anyone who knows the military reward for mutiny will not join anyone to try it.
"The overwhelming majority of the Nigerian soldiers remains as brave and disciplined as ever. They will certainly not join any renegade, coward, deserter or those trying to incite mutiny in the military to betray the nation at a time like this, in the way that impostor told his interviewers. His claims are false."
Yesterday's revolt came just over a week after wives of soldiers at the Giwa Barracks held a protest to stop the deployment of their husbands to Gwoza to try to dislodge Boko Haram militants who seized the town on August 6.
Earlier in May, soldiers mutinied at the Giwa Barracks, where they fired at their commander in protest of the incessant killings of their colleagues in combat because of inadequate equipment.
Many of those involved in that incident are now being court-martialled.
Daily Trust also learnt that nearly 100 soldiers from the Maiduguri-based 7 Division of the Nigerian Army are facing court martial over various offences.
"Some of the soldiers are answering questions over the 'misguided' conduct of their wives who staged protests in front of the Giwa Barracks last week. Most of those facing the charges are noncommissioned officers," he said.
When contacted on Monday on reports of the court-martialling of 100 soldiers, Defence spokesman Olukolade said in a text message: "Court martials are normal features of the disciplinary and judicial system of the military, the procedure is ever at work to handle any conduct that falls short of expectation whether an operation is ongoing or not. Those arraigned are only pronounced guilty after due process."
Minimah warns mutineers, wives
Meanwhile, Chief of Army Staff Lt-General Kenneth Minimah yesterday warned wives of soldiers to desist from interfering with deployment of their husbands of risk being thrown out of the barracks. He also warned that soldiers who mutiny will face the firing squad if convicted.
"If they repeat it, all those wives will leave the barracks," Minimah said while addressing soldiers of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army in Enugu yesterday.
"This is not a civil service organisation. This is not a Boys Scout organisation. Any repeat of such act, I will tell soldiers to use koboko (whip) on the wives and bundle them out of the barracks."
Minimah also warned soldiers: "If you are tired of the army, you quietly pack your things and go away; don't come to ridicule the army."
He said in line with the military law, mutiny is punishable by death where the offender is found guilty.
"Mutiny is death sentence, if you are found guilty you face firing squad," he said.
The Army Chief advised soldiers and those who might want to mislead them into committing mutiny to always study the military law so that they would appreciate the enormity and implications of their actions.
Minimah also said the army must win the war against Boko Haram "very, very soon" with the arrival of the brand new weapons and equipment procured by the Federal Government.

How to Account for a Restructured Investment
Original post by Dennis Hartman of Demand Media
Investors make decisions about which products to buy and when to sell them based on a number of factors. Changes in the economy, or in an investor's own list of needs and tolerance for risk, can lead to restructuring an existing investment. This can involve selling some assets in a portfolio to focus on others. In other cases, restructuring is outside of an investor's control, as in the case of a stock split or dividend cut. In each case, individual investors are responsible for accounting for changes that result from restructured investments.
Investment Accounting
Step 1
Review your financial records and identify expenses associated with restructuring your investment. Do not include the cost of any new investment products you purchased. Add up broker fees, transaction fees and personal expenses you incurred while researching or performing the restructuring.
Step 2
Collect tax forms from each of your investments, such as 1900-DIV dividend statements and 1099-INT interest statements. These forms will list your investment income, as well as any taxes that were withheld. Add up your investment income, or loss, using the appropriate worksheet for the tax return you plan to file.
Step 3
Fill out a rough draft of your tax form. Include your investment expenses as a tax deduction and your investment income as taxable income. If you sold long-term investments, claim the profit from them as a capital gain per the tax return instructions. Include the taxes you already paid according to your tax forms on the payments section of the return.
Step 4
Compare the draft of your tax return to your tax return from the previous year. Check for investments that are part of your current return that weren't there last year. Add up the income from these sources and subtract any income from investments that you claimed last year, but no longer own. Subtract your investment expenses to determine your total gain for restructuring your portfolio.
Step 5
Calculate the total market value of each of your current investments. For stock, multiply the number of shares you own by the market price at the end of trading on a day you specify, such as the last trading day of the year. For bonds, use an online calculator, or present value formula to determine value. Using the same date as the previous year, calculate the value of your investments prior to restructuring. The difference between these results is your asset gain from restructuring.
Tips & Warnings
- Track common information, such as your investment expenses and investment income, as you perform each transaction. This will make producing accounting totals for the year easier.
Things Needed
- Financial records
- Tax forms
- Calculator
- Internal Revenue Service: Investment Expenses
- Principles of Accounting: Corporate Equity Accounting
- Investment Performance Analysis & Risk Management: Portfolio Accounting

Sapphic Erotica Site Facts
Sapphic Erotica Review
Freetour offers: Just a few minutes on the tour and you will see why I give Sapphic Erotica such praise. The tour is very nicely designed. It's simple and its pink colors are very easy on the eyes. The first sign of excellence is visible in the two sample videos available towards the top of the page. The resolution of those videos is pretty good 1280x720 pixels! Below, you'll find details such as the exact number of pictures available inside the member's area, details regarding the number of updates and also some sample photos, which are every bit as impressive as the sample videos. Be sure to click to see the larger pictures once you get to the sample page for that particular picture.
General impression: You've probably already guessed my first impression. It's been quite some time since I've been so impressed before even getting into a member's area. I had heard many good things about Sapphic Erotica before beginning this review, but I can tell you that even the tour alone exceeded my high expectations. But I soon found out that the tour was only the tiniest glimpse into the excellence that is Sapphic Erotica.
Bravo's opinion: Wow. That's really all I can say about this website. Wow! Did I already say that? If you thought I was impressed when I saw the tour, then you should have seen the way my jaw dropped once I'd arrived in the member's area. One thing that impresses me so much about this website is just how well organized it is. At the time of my last visit (October 2014), there were about 1,962 photos available. Yet the member's area is organized so well. It's not cluttered at all and finding your way around is as easy as it could possibly be.
The very first thing I did was head over to the Latest Updates link to see what had been happening recently in the website. The tour promised 5 updates per week, and looking back through the history of updates I can tell you first hand that it's true. You'll get a brand new update every weekday. It seems to follow a pattern. You'll get two picture updates in a row, followed by a movie update, followed by a picture update and then followed by another movie update and then the cycle begins. So, basically, each week you'll get 1 picture updates and 1 video updates. There's also an update schedule which gives you a little preview of what's coming soon to the website.
Content is separated by model. On each model's page, you'll find links to any picture set or video that she has participated in. There's also a video area, so if you're only interested in viewing the videos at a particular time, you will only be shown models that have done videos.
Sapphic Erotica has been around for quite some time. Obviously, the older content isn't going to be as large of a resolution as the newer stuff. But even the older stuff surpasses what you'll find most of today's so called premium adult websites. Also, I've noticed that Bailey (the photographer) does re-encode some of the older stuff to the new high standards. The newer stuff quite frankly blows the competition away, though. I won't bore you with the details again, because I've already mentioned it all above when talking about the free tour. But I will say this. Bailey's photography is outstanding. The pictures and videos really are amongst the best I've ever seen. The quality of the videos is breath taking. You would be forgiven for thinking you were watching a DVD. The quality really is that good.
What also makes this member's area such a pleasure is that it's so well presented. Members are given the choice between MPEG4 and Flash. The picture area also presents members with the little extras that make the difference. For one, you can download a zipped archive of each photoset. Or alternatively, you can click tick boxes next to the thumbnails of each image and download a zip of only the selected images. This way, you only download the pictures you want. In my case, it was all of them, so I just downloaded the zip containing the whole set. ;)
But more important than file quality and even the skill of the photographer is the passion in this website. It's real. It's not some bimbo being paid to lick out some other slut. These women are real and passionate lesbians and it shows in every video and in every photo. Of course, this is certainly helped along by the talent of Bailey behind the camera. But I think this is one aspect of Sapphic Erotica that very few other Lesbian websites can match. By far, the content I've seen within the member's area of Sapphic Erotica is the hottest lesbian porn I've ever been lucky enough to grace my unworthy eyes upon.
Simply the best lesbian porn website out there. If you're into lesbians, then look no further. This is as good as it get folks. Sapphic Erotica really does have it all. Content of the highest quality, archives that are bursting at the seams, an update schedule that's almost difficult to believe and an extremely affordable price. I don't think I've ever felt so compelled to recommend a lesbian website so highly as Sapphic Erotica. This website is simply outstanding. If you're still not convinced, then get your ass to the tour right now and watch those sample videos I mentioned and look at the sample pictures. Simply breathtaking. Enjoy!

This review is from: EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooling Video Card
Pros: 1) Incredibly low power consumption = incredibly low heat production. Idle temps are less than 30C, and load temps have never broken 50C. This card plays every game I have at max settings 1080p at 50FPS or more without ever ramping the fan up to audible noise levels (even with my second monitor playing full HD video at the same time).
2) Excessively large heat sink for this chipset, but excess is good when talking about heat dissipation. You could save a little money and go with a single fan version of the 750 TI with a smaller heatsink.
Cons: At this price and performance, I would love to SLI a pair of them for a cheap silent living room entertainment PC for 120Hz 3D video and gaming without the need for water cooling. (I doubt just one of these cards is beefy enough for 3d with reasonable frame-rates). Unfortunately, SLI is not supported on this card.
Other Thoughts: I have this in a Rosewill U3 case, which is a small m-ATX case with just one exhaust fan. I have a 3.5" HDD mounted in both locations, so the video card is nestled right next to two HDDs. This obviously created some concerns with heat, since its not really optimal to allow an HDD to run above 110F and video cards routinely create exhaust air in excess of 130F. This card absolutely put those concerns to rest.
My whole systems near-idle temperatures:
CPU: 44C (2500k)
SSD: 30C (attached to the top of the case in front of the PSU with velcro)
HDD: 32C (both HDDs right next to GPU run at the same idle temperature)
GPU: 28C (this 750 Ti)
As you can see, the GPU is the coolest component in the entire build.
This review is from: EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooling Video Card
Pros: Extremely low power consumption.
Extremely low heat production.
Really good price for the performance.
Can achieve very respectable frame rates on all games
Cons: This is a mid-range card and will not keep up with high end systems.
Will not achieve 60fps on ALL games at max settings, though can usually get there if AA is knocked down a bit.
Cannot SLI for performance gains.
Other Thoughts: I was doing a lot of work travel this summer and needed to be able to fit all of the belongings for two people in one mid-sized sedan. Naturally, my PC and two 24" monitors were non-negotiable travel items, so i had to make a more mobile "battle station".
I ditched my full tower case and full ATX motherboard in favor of a much smaller build (in a Rosewill Legacy U3-S case) , but the layout of that case crowds the HDDs around the video card and can make them uncomfortably toasty. I actually really like the Rosewill legacy U3, but am not reviewing it here.
I decided the solution was to get a video card that produced less heat, and these 750 Tis were completely up to the task. My previous card (Radeon 6870) pushed 70C routinely as many video cards do, and my HDDs would approach 51C, cpu around 62C at its worst with all that hot air being generated.
With the 750Ti, the hottest temperature I ever witness in this same case is 50C, usually on the CPU, which ingests some of the video cards exhaust. The video card occasionally also gets to 50C, but the hard drives never breach 37C now.
Overall, the air inside the case has lowered by around 20C, and the noise levels have dropped very noticeably. I saw an improvement in performance, noise levels, temperature, and power consumption all with one piece of hardware.
I would highly recommend this card to anyone who cares about power consumption, heat, or noise. This card is perfect for a home theater PC. This is also a really great card for anyone looking to cheaply upgrade an off-the-shelf PC with a low end power supply.
This review is from: Rosewill Legacy U3-S-Window - Silver, Aluminum Alloy Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Pros: Small
Lightweight but sturdy
takes standard size PSU (I Highly recommend modular)
I was able to squeeze a large air cooler, two HDD's and an SSD by mounting the SSD to the inside top of the case with velcro strips.
Because this case is pretty much just flat aluminum in many places, i could see some significant modding being done with this case.
Overall, I highly recommend this case to users with either one 3.5" drive, or two 2.5" drives. There is space to bottom mount two 2.5" drives, and this is really where the sweet spot is for this case. As soon as you add one 3.5" drive, it takes the whole bottom area of the case, moving any secondary drive up to the side mount slot . The side mount bracket disallows use of a 120mm radiator without structural modification, and places the secondary drive in the hottest area of the case. Add a second 3.5" drive, and now the height of a CPU cooler becomes fairly limited as it protrudes towards the motherboard from the side bracket. It gets pretty cramped pretty quickly.
Cons: 1: The mounting screw locations on the front edge are not used for mATX motherboards. The motherboard is instead allowed to flex very substantially under any significant pressure, so you will want to support the motherboard with your hand underneath when plugging anything in on the forward 2 inches.
2: This is a con that I really didn't foresee when purchasing this case. Because both of the intended hard drive mounts are nearly flush with a flat surface, there is very little clearance around the power connector on any sata device. Many power supplies have strings of 3 or 4 connectors on one cable, but the middle ones have wires protruding from both sides in a way which prohibits them from being used flush with a surface as in this case. So, in order for me to install 3 SATA devices, i had to use 3 completely separate modular SATA cables, since only the end connector could be utilized.
The work around for this is to buy some MOLEX to SATA adapters. This will allow use of just one single MOXLEX cable with at least 2 connectors, and two MOLEX to 2xSATA adapters to power up to 4 SATA devices. This will allow MUCH better cable management.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a corsair 500R so i could fit my build into a smaller space. All the same components (except a mATX motherboard instead of the standard ATX) were placed into this case.
GPU and side mounted SSD temperatures rose by about 7C
CPU temperatures rose by about 4C
The bottom mounted HDD and top mounted SSD rose by about 2C.
The side aluminum attachment for the second HDD mount places that HDD on the periphery of the video card exhaust area, which leads to HDD temperatures in that spot in the 35-37 Celsius range (100 Fahrenheit). Furthermore, this HDD bay is set pretty far back in the case such that the HDD limits the height of the CPU cooler you can use, but also prohibits usage of a radiator on the rear 120mm exhaust area. I actually removed about 1.5 square inches of the top 3 fins on my CPU cooler which interfered with the side mounted HDD. It was pretty easy to make the cut, and it looks pretty clean, but I'd rather have not had to do that.Its possible that i may be able to put a small radiator like the corsair H60 on the rear if i cut some extra holes to move that side mounted hard drive forward by an inch or two, then remove a small 1/2" by 1" chunk of the spanwise support. Its worth reiterating at this point that none of these difficulties will arise if you simply do not have any 3.5" drives.
A bottom mounted 3.5"HDD will definitely interfere with a video card mounted in the botom PCIE slot on any mATX motherboard. so keep that in mind while planning your build.

A body found in Mexico is believed to be the remains of an American traveler who went missing while traveling on his motorcycle through Central and South America. Harry Devert hasn't been heard from since January and his motorcycle was found in a remote area with human remains nearby wrapped in plastic bags.
According to ABC News on July 12, Devert, who was proud to be a New Yorker, was writing a book about his travels. For the last two years he had traveled all over the world alone, documenting his life for this book. He created a website, "A New Yorker Travels," where he chronicled his travels.
Last fall Devert embarked on a lengthy leg of his road trip that took him through South and Central America. He was planning to end this trip at the World Cup in Brazil, but he seemed to have dropped off the face of the Earth in January, when all his communications with family, friends and social network stopped.
According to the New York Daily News the body was found in a black plastic bag on a dirt road leading to Mexico's La Majahua Beach. The motorcycle found was confirmed to be Devert's, but the body found nearby would need identifying before they can officially confirm the remains as his. To speed up this process, Devert's mother is headed to Mexico to provide DNA for identification purposes.
This has to be a disturbing trip for any mother to take, but the family's lawyer said that Ann Devert is "remaining optimistic." The lawyer, Darren Del Sardo, also said that she is "doing the best she possibly could do in this very trying time."
A family friend has been busy updating the Facebook page "Help Find Harry" and has asked that people who knew Devert to post their memories of their friend on this page. On his website where he documented his journey he wrote his simple philosophy for his need to travel in life;
"I believe life is short and that we need to make the most of it, and while many people say this, I truly try and live my life accordingly."
If this body is indeed Devert's then it is fair to surmise that he met with foul play while in Mexico. While family and friends remain optimistic that this body is not his and he is still alive somewhere, the fact that he hasn't made contact with anyone still paints a grim picture of Devert's fate.

However the city issued a "Notice of Meeting Continuation" to reconvene the Dec. 11 meeting, something Mayor Tom Trulove did in calling the meeting to order.

College Hockey:Top defensemen are gone but Air Force may be more difficult to play against
It's no surprise that Air Force has again been picked to be Atlantic Hockey champions. The Falcons have accomplished that feat five of the six seasons they've been in the league.
While 10 of the 12 AHA teams have made it to Rochester for the semifinals in those six years, it has almost always been the Falcons that came away with the prize.
Last season was no different with Air Force dominating Mercyhurst and Rochester Institute of Technology in the semifinals and finals, outscoring them 10-2. In the NCAAs they threw a scare into eventual national champion Boston College. The game was 1-0 until BC got an insurance goal with 1:21 to play.
"You've got to be good, but you've got to be a little lucky, too," coach Frank Serratore said. "We don't put a huge emphasis on the regular season other than for playoff placement. We're not playing as desperate hockey during the regular season. Our goal is to be playing our best hockey in games 30 to 40."
Serratore said he is more focused on what he has coming back this season as opposed to what his team lost. Gone are all-league defensemen Tim Kirby and Scott Mathis, who played a combined 309 games for Air Force, putting up 178 points.
Serratore ran a system last season that featured the duo, who logged a huge number of minutes and could often be found rushing the puck or behind an opponent's net.
"We might make some changes, but we're going to play the way we've always played," Serratore said. "Right now we've got [goalie] Jason Torf back who has won two championships. Of our top 12 forwards, 11 are back.
"We might not be as glamorous but we might be more difficult to play against. On paper we're a more mature team. Our forward lines are going be more experienced, tougher and stronger."
Those forwards include John Kruse and Kyle De Laurell, who combined for 31 goals last season. Rookie Cole Gunner put up 28 points his first season. And junior blueliner Adam McKenzie will emerge from the shadow of Kirby and Mathis. He had 18 points last season despite not seeing a lot of time on the power play.
Torf was injured for most of the first part of the last season but posted a .929 save percentage and a 1.71 goals against average in 19 games.
"He won us the championship in 2011 when we didn't have the best team and won 1-0 [over RIT in the title game]," Serratore said. "Last year he had another shutout in the championship [4-0 over RIT]. He's a proven winner. With a league like this, where everything is so close, that's a difference maker."
About the Falcons
2011-12 overall record: 21-11-7
2011-12 AHA record: 15-6-6 (First)
2012-13 predicted finish (coaches poll): First
Key losses: D Tim Kirby, D Scott Mathis, F Paul Weisgarber
Players to watch: G Jason Torf, F Kyle De Laurell, D Adam McKenzie
Impact rookie: Max Hartner isn't a high-scoring defenseman like Kirby or Mathis but is steady on the blue line and captained Green Bay to the USHL title.
Why the Falcons will finish higher than the coaches poll: There's no place to go but down. They'll score enough to repeat if their defense and power play jell.

George Elliott seeks support for wind energy project
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 5:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 5:48 p.m.
WILMINGTON | Local meteorologist George Elliott is looking for local support, in the form of online clicks, for an innovative wind energy project he's involved in.
He's a consultant for Clean Wind Energy Tower Inc., working on development of something called downdraft wind towers. They are tall, hollow cylinders that use sprayed water and evaporative cooling at the top to create downward air thrust that drives energy-generating turbines.
Elliott says the project is a semifinalist for the best new innovative clean energy company of the year competition during the Energy Invention Convention in Washington on Feb. 25. To advance, it needs online votes at the website www.cleanwindenergytower.com.

Afterword by Tuzyline Jita Allan
Esi decides to divorce after enduring yet another morning's marital rape. Though her friends and family remain baffled by her decision (after all, he doesn't beat her!), Esi holds fast. When she falls in love with a married man—wealthy, and able to arrange a polygamous marriage—the modern woman finds herself trapped in a new set of problems. Witty and compelling, Aidoo's novel, according to Manthia Diawara, "inaugurates a new realist style in African literature."
"Aidoo writes with intense power in a novel that, in examining the role of women in modern African society, also sheds light on women's problems around the globe."
"Changes reads at times like Mariama Ba's So Long A Letter, [and] . . . at other times [it] echoes Terry McMillan's Waiting to Exhale with its abundant vernacular style, female friendship, and freedom and mobility in the modern city."
"A powerful novel that explores the complex web of late 20th-century human relationships in ways that are both comic and deeply affecting."
"A wonderfully warm novel that truly shows that the more things remain the same (love) the more changes we (society) go through."

Pope Francis said in yesterday's Wednesday General Audience that if a believer is open to it, the gift of understanding that comes from the Holy Spirit can enlighten our minds and lead us to a place of deeper and greater intimacy with God, helping us to see the world as God sees it. "When the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts and enlightens our minds, he makes us grow day by day in the understanding of what the Lord has said and accomplished," the Holy Father said yesterday. "When the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts and enlightens our minds, he makes us grow day by day in the understanding of what the Lord has said and accomplished."
In his catechesis for his Wednesday Audience yesterday, Pope Francis said that the spiritual gift of Wisdom is one where God introduces us more deeply to himself. "What a beautiful gift the Lord has given us. It is the gift with which the Holy Spirit introduces us into intimacy with God and makes us sharers in the plan of love which he has for us," the Pope taught. This kind of spiritual wisdom "awakens in a Christian the ability to go beyond the outward appearance of reality and to probe the depths of the thoughts of God and his plan of salvation," he explained.
Pope Francis pointed out that the Gospel account of Jesus' encounter with the two disciples who initially did not recognize him on the Road to Emmaus shows the nature and power of the gift of understanding from the Holy Spirit. "When, however, the Lord explains the Scriptures to them so that they might understand that he had to suffer and die in order then to rise again, their minds are opened and hope is rekindled in their hearts," the Holy Father explained. The Holy Spirit "opens us to understand better the things of God, human things, situations, all things."

COLUMBIA, Mo. - With outstanding pitching from juniors Kaitlin Inglesby and Bryana Walker the No. 11 Huskies took game one of Super Regionals at No. 6 Missouri on Thursday night live on ESPN, 2-1.
With the win, the Huskies will need one win on Friday to advance to the Women's College World Series for the first time since 2010. Game two is Friday at 3 p.m. PT live on ESPNU. Game three (if necessary) will be live on ESPN at approximately 5 p.m. PT.
Inglesby (Portland, Ore.) started the game in what became a pitchers duel with Missouri ace Chelsea Thomas. Inglesby allowed just one run on four hits in 6.0 innings. Thomas took the loss, allowing two runs on five hits in the complete game.
Walker (La Quinta, Calif.) pitched the final 2.0 innings to earn her 18th win of the year. She entered in the seventh after Inglesby reached base for the second time in the game with a walk and pinch runner Dani Braun (Chehalis, Wash.) entered to score the tying run. Braun scored in the seventh on an infield single by Shawna Wright (Lancaster, Calif.).
Missouri got on the board first in the bottom of the sixth. Leadoff hitter Emily Crane became the first Tiger on base since the second inning and scored on a single to the left side of the infield with two outs.
Washington took the lead for good in the top of the eighth as junior Kelli Suguro (Kent, Wash.) singled and reached second on an error. The first pitch to the next batter, Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, Calif.), was drilled to center as Suguro scored.
Suguro made an outstanding play at second base defensively in the bottom of the second inning. Her play made No. 6 on the Sportscenter Top 10 Plays of the Night.

ST.

Here's another weekly summary of qooxdoo work:
Exactly a month ago we talked about our work on an improved qooxdoo part loading. This week we made the final steps to wrap it up: we added the proper error states to the callbacks and added a callback to the preloading mechanism of parts.
Class Data
A new section in the manual explains how class data (image information, translated strings, CLDR data) is generated into the various output packages produced by the generator. This might be helpful to optimize the download profile of your application.
Tutorial series – cont'd
Here comes a recommendation for another part of the qooxdoo app tutorial: in the fourth part of the series qooxdoo's form handling is leveraged to create a common form-based dialog. Go check it out!
qooxdoo has its own official github account, where you can find a git mirror of the original qooxdoo svn repository. We have set up a script that pushes the changes of the svn trunk to the git master. The script runs every night so the repo should be up to date on a daily basis. We are evaluating and gathering more practical experience with possibly using a qooxdoo git master repo in the future. Feel free to play around with git, github and the qooxdoo repository and let us know what you think and what your experiences are.

Oregon junior tight end Colt Lyerla has withdrawn from school, having informed UO coach Mark Helfrich late Sunday afternoon that he would be leaving the football program.
Lyerla, a former five-star recruit from Hillsboro, finished his UO career with 12 career starts and 34 receptions. He was suspended for the Ducks' win Saturday at Colorado, but said Sunday his departure wasn't related to that and was "completely my decision."
"I love everyone at Oregon; everyone's on good terms, I believe," Lyerla said. "Just for my own benefit, it was time to move on."
Lyerla said he does not plan to transfer to another school, but rather to pursue a professional career. He said he had "a really good talk" with Helfrich late Sunday, and that "we left on good terms."
"We wish Colt nothing but the best in the future, and will support him in any way we can," said Helfrich, who said he will decline further comment on the matter.
Lyerla, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound junior with a rare blend of size and speed, finished his UO career with 34 receptions for 565 yards and 11 touchdowns. He added 16 carries for 94 yards and two touchdowns, primarily during a stretch of the 2012 season in which the Ducks deployed him in a special rushing package.
This season, Lyerla started three of the first four games prior to Saturday's suspension. He caught two passes for 26 yards and ran three times for 17 yards and one touchdown.
"I wish nothing but the best for coach Helfrich and the team," Lyerla said. "I love the University of Oregon and am so thankful for every opportunity that I had. I'm going to use everything I learned from this program and do my best to be successful in whatever happens in the future."
Lyerla reported to the team Sunday morning for regularly scheduled treatment with athletic trainers before meeting with Helfrich.
Prior to earning honorable mention all-Pac-12 honors in 2012, Lyerla missed the start of preseason camp. But he joined the team in time to play in all 13 games, and was most valuable on two key catches during the Ducks' touchdown drive late in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl.
In Lyerla's absence, sophomore Pharaoh Brown and freshman Johnny Mundt started the Colorado game on Saturday. Mundt also started against Tennessee, catching five passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns that day. He has seven receptions for 162 yards and two scores through five games, while Brown made his first reception of the season Saturday, after missing several weeks with a foot injury.

Project HOPEFUL staff, volunteers and Board members are passionate about seeing waiting children come home to their forever families.
To that end, we have established a grant program (called "FIG Funds" – which stands for Family In the Gap Funds) for children who are waiting to be matched with a family or have been matched but the family is still raising funds for the adoption process.
Our FIG Funds seek to make the adoption decision easier by eliminating financial hurdles. Would you consider supporting one of these children by giving to the child's FIG fund? You can help make it possible for a child to have a family and a home.
If for any reason one of these children becomes unavailable for adoption, Project HOPEFUL will re-allocate the FIG Fund to another waiting child. In no circumstance will the funds be distributed to a family that has ceased its efforts to adopt a child. In most cases the funds are distributed once the family is in-country and has an official match (from the governing authority) for that child.
To see our waiting children and their associated FIG funds, click here.

A young, light brown dog shivered with fear and cried after an unknown person tied her to a tree outside of a Chinese restaurant last Thursday in Benica, Calif., with the words "free" written in black magic marker across her body, and "I need a home" written on her forehead reported ajc.com.
Animal lover, Shannon Bettencourt just happened to be walking by, when she spotted the beleaguered pooch on July 4th, and decided to keep the dog for the night instead of calling the police or taking her to a nearby animal shelter.
As Shannon further contemplated the dog's fate, she realized if she took the dog to the pound, it was likely the scared, although well behaved dog with the pleading, big brown eyes would be euthanized; after all shelters are so overcrowded. That night, the two bonded, and Shannon decided the pup with the magic marker message was to become part of her family:
"Somebody just kind of treated her like trash, but she ended up being my treasure," Shannon stated.
Now named Libby, which is short for Liberty; indicative of the day she was rescued, Shannon says her new canine friend is healthy and well-trained, which makes her wonder why someone ever abandoned her. It doesn't seem to matter to Libby or Shannon; both of them have now miraculously found each other.
Great rescue Shannon. We love happy endings.

Last year's performers included Jason Aldean, The Band Perry, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Faith Hill, Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, and Zac Brown Band. Rock superstar Lenny Kravitz wowed the crowd last year, dueting with Jason Aldean on "American Woman", then following it up with a three song solo set. In turn Aldean returned later that evening to perform with "American Idol's" inaugural winner, pop powerhouse Kelly Clarkson on their smash duet "Don't You Wanna Stay."
The festival's nightly concerts will again be taped for an ABC television special airing in late summer.
A four-day pass includes the nightly shows at LP Field, the daily shows at Riverfront Park, Fair Fair ® Hall admittance, stage front access to the Fan Photo Lines at the concert venues, outdoor exhibits and entertainment, and other events. For more information please see the official CMA Music Fest website at www.cmafest.com.

I just don't get it
Isn't this just a NFS Nas with bells on ? Where's the "Enterprise" factor ?
US startup Tintri aims to put every other storage array vendor on the back foot with the first dedicated VMware storage appliance using VMware storage abstractions instead of generalised files and LUNs. The idea is that virtualised server storage operations are faster and more efficient with a storage stack designed for VMware …
Isn't this just a NFS Nas with bells on ? Where's the "Enterprise" factor ?
By the looks of it it is NFS with in-line dedupe and compression plus tiering all in one box.
Could probably do similar with a ZFS box but the price point is not bad to be honest, from a quick calc I have just, with some major assumptions (40% Trinti to reseller discount, 15% reseller to client margin and 50% compression/dedupe) you are looking at $2.70/GB for high performance storage.
Not so shabby for the SME space on a VMware environment.

The two-day forum educated agents and advisors on how to talk to clients about non-qualified deferred compensation plans, the risks to retirement income and other planning techniques. In addition, they received guidance on how to make their own businesses more efficient and successful. Thank you to everybody who took the time away from their busy schedules to attend Learn to Earn. We hope to see even more producers next year!
