The ARM Mac Pro: Small, Light, Cheap, Plausible?
What is a computer? The dual-core 1.2GHz A6 processor in a $649 iPhone 5 is more powerful than the 1.67GHz G4 in the 2005 PowerBook, which sold for $2,500. So, why not build an ARM Mac Pro? At least one Apple fan is asking just that.
Peter Zigich is a name familiar to Fairer Platform readers — he's the design mind behind the modular, stackable ultimate Mac Pro featured here in October 2012. He's now back with a fresh take on the concept and it's all about Apple's powerful A series mobile processors
"Some of you have seen my Modular Mac Pro design Concept post," writes Zigich. "Now, let's take a look how power-efficient CPU's will change design of a MacPro."
Whereas Apple's ARM-based "A" series processor are small, cheap, highly efficient and powerful, especially if Apple packed a bunch of them (image below) into, for example, a modular Mac Pro chassis. It's an intriguing concept and one that is, at least in the abstract, a plausible option for Apple.
The ARM Mac: This Is a Computer
Nevertheless, moving to an ARM-based desktop architecture would require Apple to rewrite huge swathes OS X and third-party devs would have to go through similar conniptions — so, it's probably not going to happen any time soon. Yes, Apple has done it before (i.e. 68K > PPC, Mac OS > OS X, PPC > Intel x86), but I don't think we have reached the point of necessity and perhaps never will.
Still, who wouldn't like a radically smaller, more efficient and greener workstation? Perhaps we'll all be working on ARM Macs someday…
What's your take?

The Stars family includes the upcoming Agena FX, Agena, Kuma, Rana and Spica cores. AMD
will be introducing plenty of architectural changes with the upcoming Stars
family. Stars family processors will switch over to AMD's previously announced
HyperTransport 3.0 architecture. Previously, Star processors have been referred to as Revision H or K8L -- if that's not confusing enough, AMD calls the architecture of the Stars family Greyhound. While Stars family processors use the
HyperTransport 3.0 protocol, it will be backwards compatible with
HyperTransport 1.0 systems.
HyperTransport 3.0 is expected to provide twice the amount of bandwidth between
the processor and chipset. It will also allow the processor and internal north
bridge to operate at different frequencies as well. With HyperTransport 3.0,
the north bridge can operate at 75% of the maximum clock frequency of the
processor. AMD roadmaps claim the greater bandwidth of HyperTransport 3.0 is
important for PCIe 2.0 and upcoming multi-GPU, integrated graphics and
multiprocessor performance.
In addition to HyperTransport 3.0, Stars family processors feature a
128-bit floating point unit for each CPU core, DDR2-1066 support, SSE4A instructions
and a split power
plane. Split power planes allow the processor and internal north bridge to
operate at different voltages and speeds. The advantages of split power planes
are it allows the north bridge speed and voltage to never change during
Cool'n'Quiet power saving measures. With split power planes the Stars
processors require separate PLLs for the processor and internal north bridge.
Stars family processors will use socket AM2+, with the exception of the Agena
FX. Nevertheless, Stars family processors will be backwards
compatible on socket AM2 motherboards, though performance is sacrificed by
falling back to HyperTransport 1.0. AMD's documentation no longer refers to AM3; it appears AM2+ is the expected socket AM3.
Beginning in Q3'2007 AMD is expected to release its first Stars
quad-core processors. The new quad-core processors are based on AMD's Agena
and Agena FX cores. Targeting AMD's 4x4 platform is the Agena FX
core. Agena FX will only be available on Socket 1207+ and offer dual
processor functionality. The vanilla Agena core will be available on
single processor socket AM2+ platforms.
Agena FX and Agena based processors offer identical features. New
to the Agena FX and Agena cores is a shared L3 cache. 2MB of L3
cache will be shared between all four processor cores. The L2 cache will be 2MB
as well. Clock frequencies of 2.7 GHz to 2.9 GHz are initially expected. The
HyperTransport 3.0 frequency for Agena FX and Agena cores is
expected to be clocked at 4000 MHz. Agena FX and Agena core
processors will be manufacturing using a 65nm process and carry 125W TDPs. The
first Agena FX and Agena based processors are expected to arrive
in Q3'2007.
AMD will be releasing new Kuma core dual-core processors in Q3'07 as
well. The new Kuma core processors feature HyperTransport 3.0 clocked at
4000 MHz, 1MB of L2 cache and 2MB of shared L3 cache. Kuma processors
are expected to arrive in 2.0 GHz to 2.9 GHz frequencies for socket AM2+. TDP
for Kuma core processors is expected at 89W and 65W.
Single-core products won't be left out of the Stars family either. AMD
will release single-core Rana and Spica cores towards the end of
2007. Rana core processors will be replacing Orleans and Lima
Athlon 64 single-core processors while Spica will be replacing
single-core Venice Athlon 64 and Manilla Sempron processors.
AMD's roadmap doesn't reveal too much on Rana and Spica.
Nevertheless, Rana and Spica will feature HyperTransport 3.0 and
socket AM2+ compatibility.
quote: They were hoping to be on 65nm by Mid 2006 as late as Mid 2005
quote: Intel is releasing 45nm Yorkfield Q3 2007. By Q4 it should be decent amount of 45nm processors.
quote: Intel has kept all its schedules last year or so except for itanium. They infact pulled forward release of MCW and Clovertown/Kentsfield
quote: Ummm...Prescott was quite delayed, and Cloverton (no "w") and Kentsfield are EXTREMELY low volume parts...
quote: And Prescott has nothing to do with this as Prescott DOES NOT fall into the last year
quote: I don't know what to say on Clovertown's low volumeness, as it is being intorduced in SKU's that range in 455 to 1172 US. So I doubt the limitedness of Clovertown
quote: I guess I didn't see (or understand the reason for) the limitation of 1 year...oops.
In the future, I agree...but not this year.
C'mon CP, you know as well as I do that there are still several months of qualifying needed before Cloverton is ready for mass sales...
The whole point I was making is that it's very easy to push a part forward if you don't need large volumes! Heck, I would bet that AMD could release K8L in January at very low volumes...but that would merely be a PR stunt as the platforms started to be qualified in August and they will need to ship in high volume from day 1 as replacement parts for existing systems (I also expect Cloverton to be shipping in high volume by then as well, but that's Q2 07).

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center has won an $11.5 million grant from the NCI to explore cervical cancer research, prevention, and treatment. The Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in cervical cancer also includes Johns Hopkins University and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The SPORE grant will focus on next-generation HPV vaccines for the prevention of cervical cancer. It will also test therapeutic agents that have shown promise in preventing, slowing, or effectively treating the disease. Three of the project's four experimental HPV vaccines will be tested at UAB, says Warner Huh, M.D., an associate scientist in the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center and cervical SPORE co-leader.
The projects include the L1 capsomere HPV vaccine, L2 prophylactic HPV vaccine, genetic HPV vaccine, and genetic HPV vaccine delivered by gene gun. The L1 capsomere HPV vaccine is based on HPV cell structures called L1 capsomeres. It is being designed as a low-cost vaccine that can be stored at room temperature. A Phase I trial is planned to compare it to HPV vaccines that must be refrigerated, such as Merck & Co.'s Gardasil.
Under the L2 prophylactic HPV vaccine program, testing is under way to find an agent that targets an HPV protein called L2. The aim is to design a vaccine that generates antibodies capable of preventing infection by a diverse number of HPV strains.
Investigations also continue for a vaccine that triggers an immune response against HPV through delivery of genetic information contained in the cell under the genetic HPV vaccine project. The genetic DNA-based vaccine targets some of the cell changes happening during HPV infection. The final program, genetic HPV vaccine delivered by gene gun, will leverage an experimental injector gun with the genetic HPV vaccine.
In addition to these research projects, the SPORE grant includes a career-development program to recruit and train the next generation of cervical cancer researchers.

The following people were on the panel:
Dean Kamen, President, DEKA Research and Development
Elon Musk, Chairman and CEO, Tesla Motors and CEO and CTO, SpaceX
J. Craig Venter, Chairman and President, J. Craig Venter Institute
Alan Murray, Deputy Managing Editor and Executive Editor, Online, The Wall Street Journal
I've included the full video which includes these IMPORTANT points below:
- Dean Kamen: You're looking at a 21st century problem with a 19th century mindset. You're assuming it's all going to be what fixes cars in this country. If all the passenger cars in North America stopped tomorrow, they would have a 2% impact on greenhouse gases globally. The amount of methane gas coming off of cows in India and China, since methane by itself (CH4) is 21 times as bad for the environment as the C02, that's the byproduct of burning gasoline. Once you multiply it by 21 times, there's more greenhouse gas coming out of methane, coming out of those cows. Fortunately, until the 21st century almost nobody used as much energy, but the assertion that there's this tiny rounding error of the global population are going to start driving Prius' to solve the problem is like swatting at flies when we're going to get trampled by the elephants. The right question is there are 7 billion people out there now, most of whom have essentially never used electricity and don't have cars and they live on a buck or two a day. If all those people have the outrageous goal over the next 30 years of doubling - they want to live on 2 to 3 dollars a day, most of what that money will buy is power, energy and clean water. If those people do it the way we did, it doesn't matter what we do. All the stuff you're talking about would be like swatting at the flies while we're going to get trampled by the elephants. We have to come up with a way to make sure that the 7 billion people find a way better way to make, store, distribute, and use energy.
- J. Craig Venter: There's no single answer. The problem is such a magnitude of scale we've never dealt with before we need hundreds of answers. 11 years from now we're going to have 8 billion people on the planet. We're adding a billion people every 12 years so we need some solutions fast because we've never had this scale of increases in the population. We have to change how we produce food. Getting rid of the cows would be just as good as getting rid of coal and oil and probably as important because all the amount of fertilizer and water to make a kilogram of beef is not sustainable as 8 billion people start to change their standard of living. Farming, agriculture, using animals as a source of food has to be done away with as soon as possible.
- Elon Musk: Normally I think the market functions well and subsidies are not good, however, when you have a tragedy of the commons problem. Another example would be International Fishing Stocks where there's no ownership of a particular fishing zone because its in international waters then everybody goes nuts and fishes the stock to extinction. That's a classic Tragedy of the Commons Problem. Now we've got this issue where there's some CO2 capacity of the oceans and atmosphere beyond which severe damage will be done to the world and its not entirely clear what that threshold is but we're rolling the dice. In this case the Tragedy of the Commons is the Whole Planet. This is why it seems like an unwise thing to do to play Russian Roulette with the Whole Planet. And we've got only one planet right now. The ideal thing to do would be to tax CO2. That would actually be the best thing, but taxes are difficult to implement. Rather than do the right thing which is to put a tax on CO2, we're doing an indirect thing which is to subsidize electric cars to some degree and other renewables.
- J. Craig Venter: I agree with what you just said...I think putting a price on carbon whether its for fuels or cows, it has to be across the board for everything we do. I think without that there's never going to be a serious set of inventions that have economic and global impact. If we're successful and produce fuels that start to replace oil, that drops the price of oil and that becomes a downward cycle where we can never compete.
- Elon Musk: In order to affect a change that's really going to make a difference in the world, you have to actually start now and grow that change quite rapidly. In order for that change to manifest itself.. to get to a 50% renewable situation in 10 years, we have to push very hard right now. People are really not good at taking action.
- J. Craig Venter: Fuel = Food = Water. If any of these changes that look like their coming, the prediction for California in 50 years is half the water because there's half the snowfall in the Sierras, what happens to California Agriculture with half the water when there's already a water problem? We have to solve every part of the equation. We have to change our source of food because if we have half the amount of water, we can't deal with agriculture, farming, the way we're raising cattle the way we're doing it... We have to change how we produce food and where those sources are. We have to do something across the board or we're going to really be facing some tough challenges as we keep adding 1 billion people every 12 years.

Asdf just is. Do not question the almighty power of asdf
One such example, "asdf" converted into morse code is .- ... -.. ..-. If you take the .'s and convert them to 0's and take the -'s and convert them to 1's, you get the binary number of 010001000010, which is 1090 in decimal. The year 1090 just happens to be 2 years after Christodoulos of Patmos, supported by Emperor Alexius I Komnenos, founded the monastery of Saint John the Theologian on Patmos. Only *4* years after the year 1090 AD... The First Crusade (1095-99) captured Jerusalem; and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem begins. Now because the Crusade on Jerusalem happened only a short time after the crucial year 1090, we can convert the letters ASDF into the ancient hebrew alphabet, and we get Aleph Vov Daled Samech (because of the differences in alphabets, these might not be accurate translations). We take the letters, and convert them into one word. Alephvovdaledsamech -- which converted phonetically sounds like "A lef volv da leads a mech". We can then read these sounds into words, and we get "A left Volvo does leads a mech." Going further, we get "A left Volvo does lead the mechanics", or "A left Volvo does lead the mechanical industry". We can then read into it, that a "left Volvo", obviously a car made in a country where you drive on the left side of the road, will one day lead the mechanical, or automobile industry. Ford Motors Inc. must have found out about this information before I could disclose it to you -- for they just bought Volvo. Ford is obviously trying to change this age-old Hebrew prophecy, and claim the winnings for themselves!

"We always watch it together," Urban told reporters Wednesday before Caleb Johnson was crowned the winner of season 13. "It's a delayed telecast out here [in Los Angeles], so we go home and watch it together. We get in our jammies and watch it. It's a good look."
And it looks like Urban and Kidman – who married in 2006 and have two daughters, Sunday, 5, and Faith, 3 – will be avidly watching the next season. Although Fox has yet to officially announce that Urban, along with fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr., will be back for season 14, a source confirmed the news to PEOPLE earlier this month.
On Wednesday, Urban dropped telling hints of what may be in store.
"I'm looking forward to it a lot. I hope all of us stay intact," Urban said coyly when asked if he was excited for next season. "I've had a really great time, and I feel like we've got a good groove going."
Connick Jr., on the other hand, was more up-front about how psyched he is for the next round of Idol auditions, which begin later this year.
"We were talking about it last night," he said. "The most exciting thing is to imagine the next American Idol winner is walking around somewhere. I can't wait. I'm so fired up!"

Fourteen home matches and away tournaments at Wyoming and Southeastern Louisiana highlight the 2013 Stetson Volleyball schedule, which was released on Tuesday.
"I really like our schedule this fall, with numerous challenging non-conference opponents that we don't typically face," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "It should prepare us well for A-Sun competition, and it is great that we get to start conference play at home this year."
The Hatters will open the season the weekend of Aug. 30-31 at the University of Wyoming UniWyo Invite in Laramie, Wyo. Stetson will face Drake, Montana State, Idaho, as well as the host school, Wyoming.
The Hats return home Sept. 6-7 to host the annual Stetson Westin Classic at the Edmunds Center. The two-day event will feature Bethune-Cookman, Providence, Savannah State, and Stetson.
The Hatters will then travel to Hammond, La. to compete at the Lion Classic Sept. 13-14. Stetson will oppose Southern University, Southeastern Louisiana, Nebraska-Omaha, and Louisiana Tech.
"We have two long trips to tournaments early in the season, at Wyoming and Southeastern Louisiana," Loesch said. "We will face diverse competition on the road which will prepare us well for the rigors of conference play.
"Between those two trips, it will be great to host a home tournament and get to play in front of our crowd at the Edmunds Center," Loesch added.
After playing Bethune-Cookman in the Westin Classic, Stetson will face its Volusia County rival twice more in a home-and-home series, first on Sept. 17 in DeLand and then a week later on Sept. 24 in Daytona Beach. The Hatters will also visit Florida Atlantic in a non-conference match on Oct. 1.
The Atlantic Sun Conference schedule will once again feature a double round-robin format as the Hatters will play all nine league opponents once at home and once on the road. The home matches include North Florida (Sept. 20), Jacksonville (Sept. 21), Mercer (Sept. 27), Kennesaw State (Sept. 28), Florida Gulf Coast (Oct. 4), Northern Kentucky (Oct. 18), Lipscomb (Oct. 19), USC Upstate (Nov. 1) and ETSU (Nov. 2).
"We have three consecutive home weekends to begin A-Sun play, which is a great opportunity to build some momentum in the conference," Loesch said.
Following the regular season, the top six teams in the league will compete for the Atlantic Sun Championship and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

James M. Sampson said he wants to be elected to the Buffalo Board of Education because he's a problem-solver. And in his opinion, more problems could be solved if the school district engaged parents more and micromanaged less.
"The School Board is spending more time being just another level of administration rather than leading and governing," he said.
Sampson, 65, is president and CEO of Gateway-Longview, an area provider of child services. He has also been a trustee and founding member of West Buffalo Charter School since 2009. Though Gateway-Longview does business with the school district, Sampson will retire from the company in August and said he doesn't anticipate any conflict of interest.
He graduated from the University at Buffalo and earned his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin. His grown children attended Wisconsin public schools. He is chairman of the bipartisan Buffalo control board and served on the transition teams of both former Republican County Executive Chris Collins and current Democratic County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
"I try to be the least-partisan person I can possibly be," Sampson said. "I'm able to work in complex, highly conflicted environments and come out with some solutions."
Sampson's campaign platform recommends a radical change in school district structure.
"We still are fundamentally doing the same thing we were doing 100 years ago in terms of our structure," he said.
He criticized the district for being "clearly run as a top-down hierarchy" and supports more decentralization of central office authority and responsibility. The central office should serve more as a management support organization, he said, giving more authority to principals over budgeting, hiring and curriculum.
He said the School Board micromanages but remains uninformed and unable to lead on critical issues that are key to turning around schools. He recalled a recent meeting in which the board spent an hour bringing in lawyers to determine whether the District Parent Coordinating Council had the right to endorse School Board candidates.
"What a waste of time," he said.
The board needs more training to ask the right questions and should use student performance data better, especially at the high school level, he said.
Sampson said the district should help parents be involved in all phases of district operation by making board meetings and parent-teacher conferences easier to attend, being more transparent regarding school performance and decision-making, and meeting regularly with the parent council.
He said he's capable of meeting the needs of a diverse West District population and used his involvement with the West Buffalo Charter School, which opened in August 2012, as an example of how he supported programs tailored to English language learners.
Given his role with that school, he's a strong advocate of charter schools "as part of a larger plan to improve overall district performance."
He also believes teachers should be required to live in Buffalo, supports the reinstatement of neighborhood schools and believes Superintendent Pamela Brown is moving the district in the right direction, though he added that it's still too early to say for sure.
Sampson is a strong contender for the West District seat because of his broad base of support and well-financed campaign. Though he told The Buffalo News early in his campaign that he expected to raise about $7,000, he is raising far more than that and admitted that his earlier figure was "naive."
He's been embraced by the business community and is also well regarded by leaders with the District Parent Coordinating Council, which cannot officially endorse anyone.
Sampson was a former board member with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, which serves as the city's Chamber of Commerce, and will receive their support. Sampson, a Democrat, also reached out to the chairman of the city's Republican Party and received help in the circulation of his petitions.

Helping to rebuild Penn State's image is not a burden or hindrance to the school's football players, but rather a responsibility that they understand, accept and even relish.
"This has been a real tough fall for Penn State, and I feel like it's our obligation to try to represent the university as best we can to try to show just how great of a university Penn State is," senior offensive lineman John Urschel said Thursday on a teleconference.
College football season starts in eight days, and at that point, the world once again will be looking at Penn State when it hosts Ohio at Beaver Stadium. But this time, it will be for what it's always been about on fall Saturdays - football - and not because of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The Nittany Lion players have been through this before - in November when the scandal first broke - and they fully grasp that doing something as simple as playing a football game can help people start to move forward in difficult times.
"In a lot of ways, people are going to turn to football," senior quarterback Matt McGloin said.
He went on to add that the players "have a chance to make history at Penn State" this season.
"We definitely have the opportunity to bring this great university back from the bottom," McGloin said. "And not only that, but we have a great opportunity to bring the community and Penn State Nation back together. So it's definitely going to be on our minds Sept. 1."
Senior running back Michael Zordich said he and his teammates know football has "a lot of power and influence." While he understands it can't heal everything, Zordich keenly pointed out one big example of a team helping its community cope with adversity.
"You look at New Orleans back right after [Hurricane] Katrina when they were just down and out, and a couple of years later the Saints win the Super Bowl and that city's been building ever since," Zordich said.
New head coach Bill O'Brien has been bringing in some motivational speakers to address the team during training camp. One of them was former Penn State player and Navy SEAL Rick Slater, whom the players said delivered some powerful messages.
"He just said, 'Everything's riding on this season. You've got the future of the program riding on it,'" Zordich recalled.
That would seem to be a large burden to place on the shoulders of 105 young men who had nothing to do with the scandal, yet have to deal with the fallout.
But where one person sees burden, another sees opportunity.
"It's not a burden at all," Urschel said. "It's a gift, to be honest."
"We also know the power football has to bring people together," Zordich said. "It lifts spirits."
That's what Penn State's players expect to occur in their opener Sept. 1.
"It's going to be an exciting and very emotional day," McGloin said.

Most people love a salty snack, and Todd Conn is tempting the taste buds of area snackers by introducing Conn's Potato Chips products to the area.
Based in Zanesville, Conn's Potato Chips snacks are distributed primarily in central and southern Ohio and into West Virginia, and Conn said his focus is on growing that area to include locations throughout northwest Ohio.
Conn's was seeking to expand its market into the northwest Ohio area, Conn said, to "close a gap between Marion and Mansfield." Conn said he previously worked in the snack food market, and therefore had a strong background upon which to build the Conn's name when he began to build his route in 2012. While Conn and the company share a name, there is no family connection, but Conn said his involvement with the company was "meant to be," and was the result of many details falling into place at the right time.
Article Photos
Todd Conn, Conn's Potato Chip Co. distributor, poses with his truck and examples of Conn's products.
Conn said he was impressed with the company's "happy employees with good work ethics," and appreciated Conn's "good common sense and business practices." Marketing materials for the company state Conn's products "set the standard in taste and texture and freshness," and company success is "directly related to the loyalty, dedication and support of employees and customers."
Conn said he felt the price point of the products was a good fit for the area, and the company's variety of snacks could be a fresh change, and taste, for local consumers. Conn's not only offers potato chips in a variety of flavors, but a "full range of snacks with popcorn, pretzels and tortillas."
Conn said the local reaction to the introduction of Conn's products has been "overwhelming," and he now services a route that includes Tiffin, McCutchenville, Upper Sandusky, Carey, Fostoria, Findlay, New Riegel, Bascom, Fremont, Oak Harbor, Old Fort and Bettsville. Northwest Ohio, he said, has "a lot of potential" for growth for Conn's, mainly due to the significant number of small towns throughout the area, and he believes the company could someday achieve statewide coverage in product distribution.
Conn said in addition to giving him the opportunity to grow the northwest Ohio market, Conn's offered him another opportunity: to work as an independent distributor. Previously, he said, all Conn's employees have worked directly for the company, but exploring growth opportunities in a new area opened the door for Conn to work independently.
Unlike other Conn's distributors, Conn said he owns his own truck and purchases and markets the products he sells. His route, he says, has grown through his commitment to making cold calls and company visits, and placing a high priority on reliability and superior service. Ultimately, Conn said, he is committed to achieving his goal to "never have a customer go without service."
"When I walk into a business, I try to treat everyone's business like it's mine," Conn said. "I don't undersell, and I don't oversell." Conn said he tries to meet the needs of his customers, in the products he sells and the quality of service he provides.
Based on those business practices, Conn said he hopes to see his business grow in the years to come. As growth allows, he said, he would like to add distributors and step into the position of sales manager in the area. Conn said he already has explored plans for expanded shipping warehouses, and adding personnel would be a next step.
Currently, Conn is renting warehouse space from Steyer Seeds, who he says has been accommodating, and the location is a perfect staging area for distribution. Conn said his route is approximately 350 miles throughout the area, and runs Monday through Friday and Saturday mornings. Working to fulfill the scheduling needs of each customer is a priority for Conn, who strives to make unmatched customer service a vital part of his business.
Conn delivers to approximately 20 locations in Tiffin, and said he feels that giving back to the community is important. "I try not to turn away donations to folks to try to help," he said. Conn said being part of local events is a welcome aspect of his business.
With a focus on reliability, customer service, and excellent products, Conn hopes his business will continue to grow, and Conn's products will become a common name for snacking throughout northwest Ohio.

Erie man charged in weekend stabbing
An Erie man remains in jail today on charges of stabbing a woman during a domestic incident at an eastside residence on Saturday morning.
Stuart A. Weislogel, 27, of the 500 block of East 12th Street, is in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond following his arraignment Saturday by Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on charges of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering and disorderly conduct.
Police accuse Weislogel of stabbing a woman in the left biceps and shoulder, and cutting her on the forearms and midsection, during an incident at a residence in the 500 block of East 12th Street shortly after 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Police said the woman escaped the attack by jumping out a window.

The 5 Most Humiliating Ways the Wilderness Can Kill You
Like any relationship between parents and their grown offspring, Mother Nature and humanity get along best when they don't have to see each other very often. Weekend visits and the occasional longer holiday trip seem to be enough for people to appreciate the majesty of nature while still avoiding the inherent guilt of not doing enough for their Mother in her old age. On the other hand, the biggest difference between your real mother and Mother Nature is that if you overstay your welcome in the wilderness, it will murder you.
Probably. I won't pretend to know what your family dynamic is like.
Each year, due to ill-preparedness or accidents, scores of people get lost for days in the outdoors, and many of them end up dead, because nature is full of terrible things like sharp rocks, snow and indifference. Even the most knowledgeable outdoorsman can die while lost in the woods, because he is surrounded by circumstances beyond his control. That's why, instead of preparing you to survive on your own in the wild, I want to at least help you avoid dying in the most embarrassing ways possible. There are a handful of mortal threats in the outdoors that no one talks about and that are wildly humiliating. So if you ever find yourself lost in the middle of nowhere, you may not survive, but you can certainly avoid having your last sensation be utter shame. Here are five deaths to avoid if you can help it.
#5. Killed by Constipation
Every wilderness guide has to go through some rudimentary first-aid training for emergencies that arise out on the trail, and hands down the least glamorous way they're ever taught to save a life is by digging rock-hard feces out of someone's ass with a finger. The process is called "digital extraction of fecal impaction," and the impaction part of that equation is something that happens almost exclusively on hiking and camping trips.
The problem is a combination of dehydration and a refusal to poop in the woods. People who are accustomed to sitting on toilets don't like the idea of egesting any other way, and so they'll make a decision not to defecate during an entire trip. That, coupled with prolonged physical activity every day, limited amounts of water and the sudden change in diet to camping food can all conspire together into a hardened mass of shit too big to birth.
"It sounds crazy, but I'm really going to miss it when this is all over."
Worse, all of those elements are exacerbated when you're lost in the wilderness. Strange foods, no water, long days of walking and the addition of stress can cause fecal impaction in three or four days. At best, it's extraordinarily painful; at worst, the lower bowels will be completely blocked and lose circulation from the pressure, in which case you can die. So even if you manage to build a shelter, find a food source and carve out a life for yourself deep in the forest until rescuers come, you can still be killed by your own shit.
#4. Killed by a Snow Cave
There's a reason the Fortress of Solitude is really just a glorified snow cave; even an alien superhero who can deflect bullets and change the rotation of the Earth refuses to fuck around when it comes to hypothermia. Snow caves have saved several lost climbers and skiers, sometimes for up to 13 days. So if you're in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard and you have the tools to dig a snow cave, you have a significantly better chance of survival. Except after sinking two or three hours of work into carving it out, it's a special kind of humiliation if the cave ends up killing you instead of the cold.
If it wasn't below zero, I bet your faces would be so red right now.
Snow is a surprisingly good insulator of heat, but it's also a good insulator of gases. The last step in building a snow cave and the one that's easiest to forget is punching a baseball-sized hole in the ceiling so you continue to get fresh air. Without it, you can die of a carbon dioxide buildup just from breathing throughout a night or carbon monoxide poisoning if you're using a portable stove. Without ventilation, it's essentially like running a car in a tiny garage. Even if you remember the hole, it's not as simple as curling up and going to sleep until morning; fresh snowfall and even wind-blown snow can block the vent, so it needs constant upkeep. Without this step, which is arguably the easiest part of building a snow cave, you're essentially just burying your own body so that no one else has to.
#3. Killed by a Pine Cone
If you happen to be lost in the wild along the Pacific Coast of the United States, the good news is that you won't have to fend off wolves or grizzly bears each night, but the bad news is that you might have your head crushed by a pine cone. The Coulter pine is a tall conifer tree that grows along the mountains of California, and its pine cones are the equivalent of bricks with claws. The cones are usually around 16 inches long and can weigh over 10 pounds. Additionally, each cone has hundreds of sharpened hooks circling around it, which means there's no best way to have one fall on you. Loggers in the area nicknamed them widow-makers because they're so dangerous.
And since Australia hates being outdone when it comes to deadly anything, their bunya pines can produce 22-pound pumpkin-sized pine cones.
Or more accurately, the size of a human head.
Incidentally, these come close to killing or maiming people constantly. So if you are already doomed in the wilderness of Victoria, Australia, do your best to be bitten by a snake or something equally horrifying, because if anyone stumbles across your body after you were killed by a pine cone, it's hard to imagine they won't be at least a little disappointed in you.

We awoke Saturday to the tragic news of the murder-suicide of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, who shot himself at the team training facility after killing his girlfriend earlier that morning.
While the team, including coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli, who both witnessed the suicide, struggled to make sense of the incident, news reports began to dig deeper into possible related issues. Certainly, when two young people lose their lives in what seems like a senseless act of violence, society tends to want an answer as to why.
Bob Costas discussed the issue of gun control on NBC's Sunday night NFL broadcast. Cable news channels delved into previous NFL-player suicides, including that of Junior Seau earlier this year. Other reports discussed the possible impact of traumatic brain injury on NFL players, speculating that TBI may have contributed to Belcher's actions, as well as the possible use of drugs and alcohol.
From broadcast and print accounts from his teammates and friends, the violent acts were out of character for the 25-year old college graduate and former undrafted free agent, while lost in much of the media coverage was respect for the life of 22-year old Kasandra Perkins, mother of his 3-month old daughter, cut sadly short.
As side stories continue to multiply out of this unthinkable act, it should also serve to remind us that under the Under Armour, behind the million-dollar paychecks and the luxury cars, NFL players are human beings.
While many pro athletes enjoy tremendous fame and fortune, there is often a price to pay for competing at the highest levels. For every dollar an athlete makes, there is unaccounted for pressure: to perform, to excel and to act in a way becoming of our favorite teams. It's easy to see how physical and emotional stress could lead to the use of pain killers, alcohol and other substances.
This is in no way meant to excuse the actions of someone who took the life of another but simply to state that this terrible incident, while unfortunate, should not lead to an indictment of the NFL as whole, nor to football players in general.
Could Belcher have acted in this manner if he were a doctor, a teacher or a construction worker? Perhaps ... or maybe not. Will a statistically high percentage of professional football players commit acts of violence? Perhaps ... or maybe not.
The Belcher incident, as well as other NFL tragedies should lead to research about traumatic brain injury, and about the impact that the ferocious game of football and its culture may have on its participants. These factors may or may not have led to a young man in Kansas City taking his life and that of his girlfriend, leaving his baby girl with no parents. We may never know.
But this tragedy has also revealed the softer side of the NFL, as the Kansas City Chiefs describe dealing with their loss "as a family," while opening a conversation about what could have been done to prevent this terrible incident from happening in the first place.

I thought they have cash in on their patents for 2b not bad for patents that should not be issued in the first place.

Yes!!! Take no prisoners!!! Or better yet,make them work at Foxconn...lol

what a great punishment that would be "as punishment for wasting tax dollars on your patent trolling, all Apple execs are here by ordered to work 1 month at your Chenzen factory in china. You will have no access to the outside world, your accounts, or be treated any differently than the people you pay $1 an hour to make your ipads. And you will be paid starting wages."

I doubt that Apple and Google are talking about global dis-armament. Unless Google was awarded a patent for the Notification function. Then things change completely. Having to go back to a beep for notifications would really set iOS back and could result in market share dilution.
13. Ueliton (Posts: 34; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
That would be perfect because Apple ridiculously ripped the notifications bar from android... but I don´t think that´s the case, because Android is open source...
15. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I used to have a notifications bar in old pocket pc phone. Just saying, that predates google's OS quite a bit.
23. AstronautJones (Posts: 303; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
That has not stopped the patents from being granted to Apple. Part of the problem, just approve it and let the courts sort it out, that is their motto!
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yea, your pocket PC didnt have a slide down top bar with active notifications, widgets, ect.
Its a bit different.
37. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
And that is part-and-parcel of the Google patent application. If the patent issues, Apple is in a world of hurt.
18. ph00ny (Posts: 1234; Member since: 26 May 2011)
iirc, notification bar patent was filed already and google is waiting for it to be processed. It's only a matter of time
50. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Yes, you remember correctly. The application may be near issuance. It all depends on the examination process.
51. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
maybe google got some prelim information about it back and it sounds like its all going to go through soon.. and THATS why they called Apple.. to "congratulate" them on a huge OS patent infringement. lol
52. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If Google were to tell Apple about a notice of allowance to issue, but the patent hadn't actually issued, Apple could file a lawsuit to tie up the issue of the patent. No patent, no patent infringement.
Google will wait until they have the patent number. Then it is open season on iOS.

Apple is afraid ? :)
16. JessJess (unregistered)
I fail to see where it said Apple went to Google. It just said they talked... so where you get this from I have no clue. Wishful thinking?
27. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Apple will continue their war path regardless. Peace talk is just a tactic to give competitors a false sense of hope for peace as competitors prepare to strike with their own patents.
31. JessJess (unregistered)
Damned if they do and damned if they don't I guess. Epic.
48. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"It just said they talked..."
If Apple believes that they are right, then about what they want to talk, mmm??? Why then Apple goes in to talks???
Remember that Apple has started all this suing marathon not Google!
54. JessJess (unregistered)
Truly ridiculous.
Apple obviously never talked to Samsung either.
55. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Yes, it is ridiculous, I agree. :)
5. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Apple doesnt talk "Peace". They make unreasonable demands to watch you squirm and permanently injure your business. Or they sue your for a billion dollars over a rectangle and green phone icon if you dont bend.
If Apple is talking "peace", then El Goog must have sent an email to Apple with something a long the lines of "hey, we bet you think that your big shyt with your Samsung win. However, we'd like to show you some patents that we hold that you might be interested in knowing that your still infringing on. Oh.. and these are big patents too.. so you might want to pay attention. Now, if you are ready to come to the big boy's table and negotiate a permanent truce, we will talk.. otherwise prepare to be banned in the US for patent infringement".
After Apple peed itself reading down the list of patent violations knowing that its violating... consulting with its horde of vicious lawyers who said they would probably lose... then they called El Goog begging for a meeting begging and pleading not to sue them for patent infringements. "I'll stop bullying the Android mobile world if you just please please make these infringements go away... oh.. El Goog the great!"
That's my version of it anyways. lol
6. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
100% agree. :)
32. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
I wouldnt say that apple "called EL Goog begging for a meeting" they are too prideful for that
...although I certainly do think they peed themselves xD
8. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Yeah. Apple doesn't want to go against the Almighty Goog. Apple knows that EVERYONE uses Google, so even in corrupt courts with a misinformed jury, the odds would NOT be in their favor.
22. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
That was awesome.
I wish it to be true, but hey, I think Google would've done such thing long ago.
Also, Cook did said he hates legislation.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yea, he said that. words are worthless. Since he's been at the helm, lawsuits have gone up, not down. I believe he's also one that "offered" the $40 per phone patent for rectangles to keep out of the courts.
Goog has a rep of being a much more open company. I suspect they've reached out to Apple many a times and gotten their hand slapped each time.

Bhahaha! After the court fail of Samsung Giggle is seeking truce...how pathetic!
14. redsox420 (Posts: 90; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
Yeah Giggle is giggling. They know the only real hit Sammy took was on a look alike design which is 100% bs.. Might I direct you to every Fn tv in any store which sells tvs. I dare you to put 10, 42" tvs side by side and you'll maybe get 50% right just by guessing, because they all look alike. Apple came in with a BS Bestbuy survey which said that customers were returning various apple/sammy products because they thought they bought the other.. Its the CUSTOMER who is at fault along with worst buy who didn't listen to the customers..
. So what Apple did was won on stupid pidly OLD designs on software and a rectangle all of which are now outdated, except still in use by Apple. Apple is 100% afraid of Google. Why else would Apple only go after Sammy? If there is "infringement" as Apple claims, why not go after the true source, Android? Hmmm Apple can't stand on its own merits anymore. They only have a 4 inch screen coming out now and thats old and outdated already.. But yeah, Apple is on the foreskin front of the smartphone movement

Good to see that Google is stepping up and trying to resolve the patent lawsuits, considering it is mostly Android devices and Android features that are in the cross hairs of Apple.
19. xoutrageousx (Posts: 70; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
You guys do realize if they were to go into court and go into everything, the only ones that are hurt is us the consumers....so this is actually really good for every consumer out there.

Google better watch it's back when dealing with a SNAKE like APPLE..

why can android and apple just get along and come up with a super smart phone, im sure we all want that to happen dont we?

45. FoxconnUS (Posts: 5; Member since: 31 Aug 2012)
Why would Apple even contemplate talks with Google when Apple is the original innovator?
They have nothing to worry about right????
46. bomariam1 (Posts: 37; Member since: 08 May 2012)
Apple should be punched first.
They must understand that court is not the place for technology.
53. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Not only should the pending Notification Bar patent be considered here, but the current Motorola suit against Apple as well; I'm guessing Apple might be feeling some pressure and that's why they're willing to talk.
Plus, I'm sure Larry Page wanted to congratulate Apple on their "legal" victory... and maybe make a small mention of what might happen if Samsung is vindicated on appeal and some of Apple's IP is invalidated. You know, just to give Timmy something to think about.

The lawyers must be very worried.

Feeding time during unseasonable weather
January 13, 2013
From left, 9-year-old Ciera Clark, her cousin Vanessa Kastanek, also 9, and her uncle Rob Kastanek toss some bread to the ducks and geese at Waterworth Memorial Park while enjoying the warmer......
You want to "fill in Salem because of the attraction to low live" and yet you prefer to go to Alliance?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Your absolutely correct, not to mention that feeding ducks bread is inherently unhealthy for them. It wouldn't hurt the city to put up a sign to this effect and maybe even feed for a small fee like Alliance does. Also what is the reason to fence in the duck area besides the fact that it looks stupid. I prefer to go to Alliance and enjoy Silver Park where there is real natural beauty no confined behind a fence. Personally I wish Salem would fill their whole city in because of the attraction to low life that they seem to be getting. Might actually be healthier for the ducks. Lol

While the wildlife department tries to discourage feeding these birds because of the mess they make the paper promotes it with pictures. Watch where you step. East Palestine is going to fill a pond that has been there for years because of the attraction to the geese.

Do hybrids differ that much in starch type?
Do hybrids differ that much in starch type?
by Bill Mahanna and Ev Thomas
Mahanna is with Pioneer, a DuPont Business, and is an adjunct professor at Iowa State University; Thomas is retired from the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute and president of Oak Point Agronomics Ltd.
There has been an explosion of interest among seed corn buyers about the differences in the type of starch found in hybrids. What these discussions are referring to is the amount of floury (also called soft or dent) endosperm versus vitreous (also called hard or flinty) endosperm.
Floury endosperm contains the white-colored starch granules found in the center of the kernel as shown in Figure 1. They are more loosely bound in a starch:zein protein (prolamin) matrix. Dent corn derives its name because this softer starch "dents in" at the top of the kernel as it matures.
Vitreous starch is the higher-density, yellowish-colored starch granules found on the outer edges of a mature kernel which are more tightly bound in a starch:protein matrix. Vitreous starch becomes more prominent as the kernel approaches dry grain harvest maturity (postblack layer). Popcorn would be considered nearly 100 percent vitreous starch.
Hybrids with more floury starch generally have lower test weight due to kernel reduced density (more air space between starch granules). However, only about 40 percent of the variation in grain density can be attributed to test weight. The remainder is due to the influences of kernel size, shape, maturity, germ content, and pericarp slickness.
The relationship between kernel density and vitreous starch levels at dry grain maturity, when the kernel has the highest level of hard starch, is illustrated in Figure 2. Note the shaded area indicating the typical range of vitreous starch in commercial hybrids. Research comparing the starch digestibility of floury genetics against flinty hybrids has certainly furthered the understanding of the mechanisms of starch digestion. However, caution is needed when extrapolating these "bookend" comparisons to what dairymen will observe from high-yielding, commercially available hybrids.
vitreousness can aid in the understanding of digestion mechanisms
but have little appli-cability to high-yielding commercially available corn hybrids.
According to Ohio State researchers, the level of kernel vitreousness has little, if any, impact on the digestibility of starch in fermented forms of corn such as silage or high-moisture grain. Consequently, total tract starch digestibility typically exceeds 96 percent for adequately fermented silage or high-moisture corn.
Microbial activity during fermentation and the chemical action of various fermentation end-products (acids, yeast-generated alcohol) alter kernel storage proteins, removing most of the negative effects of zeins (prolamins) on starch digestibility. There is a strong positive relationship between the level of soluble protein (or ammonia nitrogen) in corn grain and the improved ruminal starch digestibility of corn grain over time in fermented storage.
If corn kernels are fed fully mature and not fermented, as in the case of dry corn grain, research from France indicates that fine-grinding can remove the negative impact of vitreous endosperm on starch digestibility. This is something nutritionists have learned simply by watching cows (and manure) and is the reason for feeding fine-ground dry corn (600 to 1,000 microns) rather than rolled or cracked corn to high-producing cows. Steers can successfully be fed coarser grain because they have less fiber in their diet and a much slower ruminal starch passage rate than lactating cows.
For corn fed as dry, ground, or rolled grain, starch from finely ground, more floury, endosperm hybrids will generally be more extensively degraded in the rumen compared to starch from more vitreous hybrids. However, with acidosis as a common nutritional malady, is boosting ruminal starch digestibility always the goal?
High ruminally available starch may or may not be of benefit depending upon other starchy ingredients like corn silage, the relative need for ruminal microbial protein production, and the possible desire to shift starch digestion to the intestines to reduce the potential for acidosis.
For corn fed as fermented corn silage or high-moisture corn, more vitreous hybrids with large kernels (reduced pericarp:endosperm ratio) appear preferable. This is because they typically have higher grain yields, and the process of fermentation (protein matrix solubilization and acid hydrolysis) will minimize most of the adverse effects of vitreousness.
Not a benefit
It appears counterproductive to recommend hybrid selection for low test weight or kernel vitreousness given these facts:
1. Seed companies do not have data on the level of vitreousness at silage or high-moisture grain harvest maturity.
2. Vitreousness of grain harvested at silage maturity is considerably lower than for dry grain.
3. Adverse effects of vitreousness for dry grain can be largely alleviated by fine grinding.
4. Fermentation significantly re-duces the impact of vitreousness.
5. Selecting hybrids for reduced vitreousness likely depresses grain yields and possibly causes more ear molds.
Rather, it seems prudent to select corn hybrids for traits for which there are significant genetic differences such as silage tonnage, grain yield, and trait packages necessary to protect yield against specific pest and weed challenges. Growers can then fine-tune the selection process with attention to resistance to drought, foliar disease, and ear molds.
