TechReport: AMD Plans Frame Pacing Driver for CrossFire, Eyefinity, and 4K... This Autumn
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 26, 2013 - 03:35 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: frame rating, frame pacing, amd
Scott Wasson of The Tech Report just received an interview with Raja Koduri, head of Graphics Hardware and Software Development at AMD, a few hours ago. Part of the interview discussed frame the frame pacing issues we, as well as The Tech Report, published over the last year. In short, the news seems good for owners of Radeon graphics cards, future and even current.
The "Hawaii" powered Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X graphics cards are expected to handle CrossFire pacing acceptably at launch. Clearly, if there is ever a time to fix the problem, it would be in new hardware. Still, this is good news for interested customers; if all goes to plan, you are likely going to have a good experience out of the box.
Current owners of GCN-based video cards, along with potential buyers of the R9 280X and lower upcoming cards, will apparently need to wait for AMD to release a driver to fix these issues. However, this driver is not far off: Koduri, unclear whether on or off the record, intends for an autumn release. This driver is expected to cover frame pacing issues for CrossFire, Eyefinity, and 4K.
Koduri does believe the CrossFire issues were unfortunate and expresses a desire to fix the issue for his customers.
Keep checking PC Perspective for more information as it comes out!
Editor's Note: I just spoke with Raja Koduri as well and he basically reiterated everything that Scott noted in his story on The Tech Report as well. The upcoming 290X will have frame pacing at Eyefinity and 4K resolution at launch while the cards below that in the R9 series, and users of Radeon HD 7000 cards (and likely beyond) will need some more time before the driver is ready. I'll be able to talk quite a bit more about the changes to BOTH architectures very shortly so stay tuned for that.
Earth Shattering?
AMD is up to some interesting things. Today at AMD's tech day, we discovered a veritable cornucopia of information. Some of it was pretty interesting (audio), some was discussed ad-naseum (audio, audio, and more audio), and one thing in particular was quite shocking. Mantle was the final, big subject that AMD was willing to discuss. Many assumed that the R9 290X would be the primary focus of this talk, but in fact it very much was an aside that was not discussed at any length. AMD basically said, "Yes, the card exists, and it has some new features that we are not going to really go over at this time." Mantle, as a technology, is at the same time a logical step as well as an unforeseen one. So what all does Mantle mean for users?
Looking back through the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the individual 3D chip makers all implemented low level APIs that allowed programmers to get closer to the silicon than what other APIs such as Direct3D and OpenGL would allow. This was a very efficient way of doing things in terms of graphics performance. It was an inefficient way to do things for a developer writing code for multiple APIs. Microsoft and the Kronos Group had solutions with Direct3D and OpenGL that allowed these programmers to develop for these high level APIs very simply (comparatively so). The developers could write code that would run D3D/OpenGL, and the graphics chip manufacturers would write drivers that would interface with Direct3D/OpenGL, which then go through a hardware abstraction layer to communicate with the hardware. The onus was then on the graphics people to create solid, high performance drivers that would work well with DirectX or OpenGL, so the game developer would not have to code directly for a multitude of current and older graphics cards.
AMD GPU Lineup Announced: R9 and R7 Series
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | September 25, 2013 - 05:23 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: radeon, R9 290X, R9, R7, GPU14, amd
The next generation of AMD graphics processors are being announced this afternoon. They carefully mentioned this event is not a launch. We do not yet know, although I hope we will learn today, when you can give them your money.
When you can, you will have five products to choose from:
AMD only provides 3D Mark Fire Strike scores for performance. I assume they are using the final score, and not the "graphics score" although they were unclear.
The R7 250 is the low end card of the group with 1GB of GDDR5. Performance, according to 3DMark scores (>2000 on Fire Strike), is expected to be about two-thirds of what an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti can deliver. Then again, that card retails for about ~$130 USD. The R7 250 has an expected retail value of less than < $89 USD. This is a pretty decent offering which can probably play Battlefield 3 at 1080p if you play with the graphics quality settings somewhere around "medium". This is just my estimate, of course.
The R7 260X is the next level up. The RAM has been double over the R7 250 to 2GB of GDDR5 and its 3DMark score almost doubled, too (> 3700 on Fire Strike). This puts it almost smack dab atop the Radeon HD 6970. The R7 260X is about $20-30 USD cheaper than the HD 6970. The R7 is expected to retail for $139. Good price cut while keeping up to date on architecture.
The R9 270X is the low end of the high end parts. With 2GB of GDDR5 and a 3DMark Fire Strike score of >5500, this is aimed at the GeForce 670. The R7 270X will retail for around ~$199 which is about $120 USD cheaper than NVIDIA's offering.
The R9 280X should be pretty close to the 7970 GHz Edition. It will be about ~$90 cheaper with an expected retail value of $299. It also has a bump in frame buffer over the lower-tier R9 270X, containing 3GB of GDDR5.
Not a lot is known about the top end, R9 290X, except that it will be the first gaming GPU to cross 5 TeraFLOPs of compute performance. To put that into comparison, the GeForce Titan has a theoretical maximum of 4.5 TeraFLOPs.
If you are interested in the R9 290X and Battlefield 4, you will be able to pre-order a limited edition package containing both products. Pre-orders open "from select partners" October 3rd. For how much? Who knows.
We will keep you informed as we are informed. Also, the announcement is still going on, so tune in!

Back on September 23, 2003 a site called AMDMB did a review of the Athlon 64 FX-51 processor, which turned out to be the fastest desktop processor on the planet at the time and could handily beat Intel's offerings even with their higher clock. As Slashdot has pointed out that this is indeed the 10th year anniversary of the release of that processor they thought it would be nice to look back on a better time in AMD's history. Head to Slashdot to read through the comments and click through to ExtremeTech who have put together a retrospective.
"It's been a decade since AMD's Athlon 64 FX-51 debuted — and launched the 64-bit x86 extensions that power the desktop and laptop world today. After a year of being bludgeoned by the P4, AMD roared back with a vengeance, kicking off a brief golden age for its own products, and seizing significant market share in desktops and servers."

Images and Benchmarks of AMD Radeon R9-290X Hawaii Leak Out
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 21, 2013 - 11:58 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, leak, hawaii, amd
What better way to spend your weekend than to comb over photos and graphs to try and figure out everything you can about the upcoming AMD Hawaii GPU just days before they announce it during a live stream? A collection of leaks including pictures and benchmarks made their way onto the web (they have a way of doing that) from our friends in China. I spotted a post from our buddy Hassan at WCCFTech that detailed much of the information available so far.
The first picture was actually posted by Johan Andersson, lead developer at DICE over Twitter with a not-too-vague comment about Hawaii and Volcanic Islands.
AMD was kind enough to give me an Hawaiian beauty from the Volcanic Islands http://t.co/CSU3Ssv8oi @AMDRadeon
— Johan Andersson (@repi) September 21, 2013
A website with the convenient name of udteam.tistory.com posted images with quite a bit more detail including some with the cooler removed.
The GPU here is apparently going to be called the AMD Radeon R9-290X as AMD shifts to a completely new naming scheme with this generation. We already discussed an interview with AMD's Matt Skynner in which he said the die of Hawaii was 30% smaller than NVIDIA's GTX TITAN and would be more efficient per die area than the GeForce option.
Other specifications that have been compiled (that are still rumors really at this point) include a 512-bit memory interface (quad 128-bit controllers more than likely based on the memory layout), 4GB of GDDR5, 5+1 phase power and 8+6 pin power connections (very reasonable for a flagship). The die size is being estimated at 424 mm2 (larger than Radeon HD 7970 but smaller than TITAN) and price estimates are sitting at $599.
We even found a couple of benchmarks claiming to have performance results of this new beast of a GPU. Though the name of the card on the result is blocked out we are supposed to believe these are results from the AMD R9-290X and they are impressive if true. In both of the graphs here the new Hawaii GPU is faster than the $999 GeForce GTX TITAN at a significantly lower price!
All signs are pointing to AMD's next 28nm GPU to be a high end gamer's dream graphics card. That is, IF all these rumors and leaks turns out to be accurate. We still don't know the key data points like stream processor count, but we'll know it all in due time. (Maybe next week?) We still have concerns about the status of AMD's multi-GPU fixes but if the company can get that worked out in time for this relesae, I expect AMD to make a big splash this fall with a revamped Radeon brand.

AMD and ARM want to bring about an evolution in the server room
Subject: General Tech | September 18, 2013 - 12:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, arm, Cortex-A57, servers, seattle
DigiTimes spoke with AMD's current server guru about their move from providing only x86/64 based processors in their server chips to the inclusion of ARM cores in the Seattle chip family. These will be the first processors from AMD using 64-bit Cortex-A57 cores and they hope to sell them to companies who depend on Hadoop or run web hosting services which will benefit from scalability. As these will be true APUs as well, any application which can be accelerated by a GPU will also greatly benefit from the new design from AMD. It is AMD's hope that they will be able to offer server customers a choice in the architecture they want to use in their server rooms and able to choose between more than just competing x86/64 chips.
"Commenting on AMD's decision to make ARM-based processors for servers, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD's server business, Suresh Gopalakrishnan, said that as more server applications will show up in the future, different architectures will provide different advantages to clients. Providing solutions based on market demand will be the major business strategy for AMD's server business, Gopalakrishnan noted."

AMD Confirms Hawaii GPU Will Use 28nm Process
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 17, 2013 - 10:28 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, radeon, hawaii
As we get closer and closer to the reveal of AMD's next generation graphics chip code named Hawaii, details will find their way out.
Tonight I came across an interview with AMD's Matt Skynner on Forbes.com that offered up one confirmation that we all suspected: AMD's Hawaii GPU will keep the same 28nm process technology utilized with the Radeon HD 7000 parts.
Another thing I can tell you is about the process node: this GPU is in 28nm. Some have speculated that it was 20nm and it's not for a specific reason: At 28nm for an enthusiast GPU, we can achieve higher clock speeds and higher absolute performance.
Straight from the horses mouth. Based on those comments we can also assume that clock speeds will be higher than 1.0 - 1.1 GHz we are seeing today with the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition so performance increases will not be the sole result of shader count changes and increases.
Skynner also assures gamers they are not targeting the $999 price range, at least not initially.
They're coming in Q4. I can't reveal a pricepoint but we're looking at more traditional enthusiast GPU pricepoints. We're not targeting a $999 single GPU solution like our competition because we believe not a lot of people have that $999. We normally address what we call the ultra-enthusiast segment with a dual-GPU offering like the 7990. So this next-generation line is targeting more of the enthusiast market versus the ultra-enthusiast one.
AMD is targeting a much smaller die size that NVIDIA has with GK110, the latest iteration of NVIDIA's massive GPU offerings.
It's also extremely efficient. [Nvidia's Kepler] GK110 is nearly 30% bigger from a die size point of view. We believe we have the best performance for the die size for the enthusiast GPU.
The rest of the interview is a little cookie-cutter though he does briefly reference some of the issues that have caught the Radeon HD 7990 by surprise.
Sorry, still no details on if/when Battlefield 4 will hit the Never Settle bundles!

Packers' Murphy predicts chaos if NFL lockout ends
The National Football League is at a crossroads.
It is at the intersection of chaos-and-confusion and delay-and-deliberation and only the court of law can determine its path.
In the next 72 hours or so, the NFL will find out whether its lockout of some 2,400 players will continue or whether it will be forced to swing open its doors and allow business to resume as it had before the end of the league year March 3.
Federal Judge Susan Nelson, who ruled in favor of the players Monday and slapped an injunction on the lockout, is now considering an appeal filed the same night as the decision. The owners want her to reinstate the lockout at least until an appellate court can determine if Nelson's ruling is just.
NFL owners are predicting a football version of the Wild West if Nelson sticks to her guns and refuses to reinstate the lockout.
"I think it would be a lot of chaos," Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy said of ordering an end to the lockout. "I think the test is whether it would cause irreparable harm to the owners and the game."
If the stay is not ordered, free agency would begin immediately and the league would have to devise a system that would pass muster with antitrust laws that are normally skirted when a collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association is in place.
The league thinks both the owners and players need time to evaluate Nelson's decision and determine how to proceed.
On Tuesday, however, player agents began calling teams to start the ball rolling on free-agent negotiations. Several dozen players reported to their respective teams ready to begin off-season conditioning programs and start collecting bonuses that are due.
Most of the agents were not getting through because the NFL is still operating as if the lockout is in place.
According to an agent for one Packers free-agent player, "no contracts are being done right now until the appeal is over."
NFL attorney Jeff Pash said there are too many unknowns for the league to start conducting business as usual. He said Nelson's decision did not set any guidelines for how to handle the transition and that the league's request for a stay reflects the dilemma it faces.
"Given the request that was made last night, there is a good deal of uncertainty as to what exactly the final order will be and how the rules will apply," Pash said. "We need to know where we stand on that and where we stand on the stay.
"Then we can go forward. But there is not going to be a significant degree of uncertainty in terms of how we respond once we know how the pending motions are addressed. We will make sure we are in compliance with whatever the orders are."
If Nelson refuses to stay the injunction, the NFL will rush to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis and request that it reinstate the lockout. The only problem is that the 8th Circuit Court could take a week to make a decision and the owners could be held in contempt of court if they don't start doing business with the players in the meantime.
That's where the chaos and confusion comes in.
Murphy said if the appeals court ultimately sided with the owners and reinstated the lockout, how would the NFL deal with all the business that was done in the interim? Would it void contracts or require players to repair bonuses?
"Someone said it would be like trying to unscramble an egg," Murphy said.
According to Murphy, not a single player showed up for work at 1265 Lombardi Ave., but if they had, he would have explained to them that the Packers want to see how the court rules on its appeal before allowing players to return to work.
"I think she'll grant the stay," Murphy said. "If she doesn't, we'll take it immediately to the 8th Circuit Court. We'll ask for an expedited ruling."
The players will go before Nelson on Wednesday to argue why they think the stay should not be granted. Nelson will consider the appeal the owners filed and the counterarguments of the players and decide whether to stay the injunction.
A decision could be rendered Thursday or Friday.
If a stay is issued, either by Nelson or the appellate court, the next order of business would be determining whether the lockout is permissible.
That's where the delay and deliberation comes in.
According to antitrust attorney Matthew Cantor of the New York law firm Constantine Cannon, it probably would take the appellate court two months to decide on the legality of the lockout. That means the two sides are looking at no activity until the end of June or beginning of July.

To the Editor:
—I have been surprised to observe that among so many inquiries about the new Harrison law there have been but few adverse criticisms, although it is justly liable to adverse criticism.1. The law is an usurpation by Congress of the police power of the states. The right of Congress to impose a revenue tax on any article is admitted, but in the case of narcotics the Congress assumes authority to regulate use, distribution and sale. If it is competent for the Congress to regulate the sale and distribution of one drug or one group of drugs, why not of another, and why not of all? If these premises be admitted, it is not apparent why the Congress may not assume the enactment of general medical practice laws and complete the federal usurpation of state authority.2.

Review: 'Louie' - 'Moving': A man's home is his castle
A quick review of tonight's "Louie" coming up just as soon as I ask about Obama...
Of the season 2 episodes I've seen so far, I think "Moving" was my favorite, because it manages to squeeze so many of the things I love about "Louie" into a single story.
The plot itself - in which Louie tries to find a new apartment because his daughters still think of the current one as the place where he and his ex lived - is fairly simple. But it's larded with both the usual amounts of Louis C.K.'s self-loathing (here he's represented as a man who somehow only has $7,000 in his bank account) and his view of New York City as simultaneously a surreal hellpit (exemplified by the elderly immigrant's weird apartment) and a fantasyland (the luxurious townhouse once occupied by Lenny Bruce). Very basic stuff - Louie wants to find a new place to live, can't find a place he both likes and can afford, and eventually resorts to just repainting the old place with the girls - but sharp and sweet and silly in that very "Louie" way.
And by keeping things simple, we were able to check in on some of the show's recurring characters, as Todd Barry made a case for why he should have been included in "The Aristocrats," while Pamela Adlon was her usual no-bullshit self with Louie. (Though if she had seen the homeless man get abducted and replaced, she might have been a bit more sympathetic to Louie's desire to flee.)
"Moving" also featured two marvelous stand-up bits. I'm especially curious about the first one, where his air travel routine seems to go awry when he gets hung up on having identified one of the characters as a Chasidic Jew. I know much of the stand-up material is taken from C.K.'s recent act, which I haven't seen, and I wonder if it's designed like that - that the story of the joke is actually a ruse so he can play with everyone's hang-ups about ethnicity, sexuality, etc. - or if C.K. just inadvertently went down a weird road as he was taping the bit for the show, and liked the way it played out enough to keep it in. Either way, very funny, and the bit about his hatred of a monarchy system was even better.
What did everybody else think?

There's a site for scheduling games which has really helped organizing some multiplayer rounds of the less common games. There have been good MotoGP3 Tag games, Raze's Hell, Top Spin and a bunch of others. Good stuff for games that don't get the gameplay that Halo2 does.
The idea is that you set up a profile with your current titles. When you schedule a game, other members with that title get a notification that the event exists. When others join the event you'll be notified that they have joined. Everything is scheduled in local time, so you don't have to deal with timezone conversions.
It's really intended for people who like to play the less common titles, or who simply don't have the time and patience to sit in an empty Mech2 arena waiting for somebody to show up.
- Schedule Game
- Other players join the event
- You get notified that they have joined
- At gametime... Play!
So read the FAQ, Sign Up and Join Up! And let me know what you think. Feedback and criticism (constructive and otherwise) is welcome.

how can I buy camera from iran?
This firmware update is more important than fixing some language problems. To work with Win7 the EOS utility wouldn't work without this firmware patch. It still does not allow remote shooting. I am pretty disappointed that Canon sold me this model through customer loyalty when my original Rebel EOS Digital quit working on Win
XP lately.

DIY Rustic Winter Wedding
My sister got married at the end of December last year. She had a pretty short engagement--only two months. And as the go-to crafty person in my family (and with my parents living in Boston) she kind of hired me as her wedding planner. And since she was so ambivalent about what she wanted, I took charge. We planned a beautiful rustic winter wedding after her and her fiance's laid-back semi-granola style. They both enjoy the outdoors and are … [Read more...]
Fun Winter Activities

Winter Fashion: 8 Ways to Wear Uggs
Have you had your first snow yet? December is on the horizon and that means winter fashion!

Gopher Hockey Battles Michigan For Top Spot In Big TenThere's a big series in Big Ten hockey this week. Minnesota hosts Michigan for control of the conference race. The Gophers and Wolverines play a rare Thursday-Friday series, with both games at Mariucci Arena.
Gophers Kloos, Fasching Earn Big Ten Honors After Weekend SweepThe University of Minnesota men's hockey team got a pair of one-goal victories Friday and Saturday to earn a sweep of Ohio State. Justin Kloos and Hudson Fasching earned two of the Big Ten's three Stars of the Week on Tuesday as a result of the weekend.

Brodzinski Nets Hat Trick, Gophers Sweep WisconsinMichael Brodzinski netted a hat trick Saturday night as the University of Minnesota hockey team completed a weekend sweep of Wisconsin with a 9-2 victory. The Gophers got the weekend started with a 4-0 win over the Badgers Friday night.
Gophers Aim To Win Big Ten, Get Fans Back To MariucciIt is a strange time for the University of Minnesota men's hockey team. They've played themselves into contention in the Big Ten, but are barely above .500 on the season. The wins are starting to come, but the fervor for the team has not.
Gophers Top Michigan 3-1 To Earn Weekend SweepThe University of Minnesota men's hockey team put together a third period rally to beat Michigan State 3-1 at Mariucci and earn a weekend sweep of the Spartans.

Top 25 Non-Conference Games
Beginning in September and running up until November 11th, the first day of the season, College Basketball Talk will be unveiling the 2016-2017 NBCSports.com college hoops preview package.
Non-conference scheduling has rightfully been much maligned in recent years with many programs opting to keep their non-league slates as a tune-up rather than a challenge, but there are still plenty of gems out there in the season's first two months. Neutral-site event games again provide some of the strongest matchups, but there are plenty of on-campus contests that will be among the year's best as well.
1. Kansas vs. Duke – Champions Classic (New York) – Nov. 15 (9 p.m.): The Champions Classic has easily become the most anticipated non-conference event most years (until the PK80 next year), and this year's matchup between the Jayhawks and Blue Devils is the premier non-conference game of the season. Both teams return a ton from last year's successful seasons and also add stellar recruiting classes. It's not hard to envision this as a Final Four or national title preview, and there's a very real chance that it could end up being a matchup between No. 1 Duke vs. No. 2 Kansas.
2. Michigan State at Duke – ACC/Big Ten Challenge – Nov. 29 (9:30 p.m.): This game gets the nod over similarly interesting matchups because it's going to be played on campus in Durham at Cameron Indoor. It pits two Hall of Fame coaches operating near the height of their powers with teams expected to contend for a national championship. It's sure to be an electric evening.
MORE: 2016-17 Season Preview Coverage | Conference Previews | Preview Schedule
3. Kentucky at Louisville – Dec. 21 (7 p.m.): John Calipari has another powerhouse on his hands while Rick Pitino's squad is expected to continue its upward progression and be a potential top-10 team. This in-state rivalry game will have all the gravitas it normally has along with the national implications that come when two potential No. 1 seeds meet in the non-conference.
4. Kansas at Kentucky – Jan. 28 (6 p.m.): The SEC/Big 12 Challenge is largely irrelevant this season because the Big 12 is down and the SEC looks like a mid-major conference outside of Kentucky. But the Wildcats, who nearly beat Kansas in overtime in Phog Allen last season, and the Jayhawks are both preseason top five teams loaded with NBA talent and positioned to make a run towards another national title.
5. Michigan State vs. Kentucky – Champions Classic (New York) – Nov. 15 (7 p.m.): The other half of the Champions Classic, the Spartans and Wildcats will provide nearly just as much entertainment. The matchup between Michigan State's super-recruit Miles Bridges and Kentucky's squadron of them could be the highlight of the night.
6. Virginia at Villanova – Jan. 28 – (1 p.m.): Virginia deserves credit as one of the elite programs that's unafraid to challenge themselves with home-and-home series, but I can't imagine that, when Tony Bennett signed up for this, he knew he'd be taking his team on the road, in the middle of ACC play, to square off with the reigning national champs. It will be an intriguing matchup of styles, both in terms of basketball and the suits worn by the opposing head coaches.
7. UCLA at Kentucky – Dec. 3 (12:30 p.m.): Two of the most storied programs in the sport, the Bruins and Wildcats both figure to have interesting seasons as Steve Alford looks to satiate uneasy UCLA fans and Calipari looks to add another national championship to his resume. UCLA freshman Lonzo Ball facing off against Kentucky's backcourt in Rupp Arena will garner a lot of headlines. And we shouldn't forget that the Bruins picks off Kentucky in LA last December.
8. North Carolina vs. Kentucky – Las Vegas – Dec. 17 (5:45 p.m.): UNC is coming off a season where they finished as the national runners-up. Losing Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson will hurt, no doubt, but there is still some talent on the roster. Kentucky, as we've mentioned, is once again loaded. Both teams will likely be ranked in the top-10 when they meet in Sin City in yet another clash of the sport's heavyweights.
9. Michigan State vs. Arizona – Armed Forces Classic (Honolulu) – Nov. 11 (7 p.m.): Not a bad way to tip off the season with the Spartans and Wildcats squaring off in Hawaii on opening night. The game was originally to be played at Pearl Harbor, but was moved to the Stan Sheriff Center at the University of Hawaii. Arizona may have lost Terrence Ferguson to the pros, but it'll have plenty of firepower to match up against Michigan State with Allonzo Trier, Lauri Markkanen and Rawle Atkins.
10. Louisville vs. Indiana – Indianapolis – Dec. 31 (12:30 p.m.): This border battle game will be played off-campus at the home of the Pacers, but with Indy's close proximity to both schools and a pair of fervent fanbases, this one should have that big-time collegiate feel with two top-15 teams.
11. Kansas vs. Indiana – Armed Forces Classic (Honolulu) – Nov. 11 (9 p.m.): The nightcap of the Armed Forces Classic is another incredibly strong game that will pit the two midwestern powers against each other. Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby will provide quite the test for Kansas' revamped frontcourt while the Hoosiers will have to contend with one of the country's strongest backcourts in Kansas' Frank Mason III and Devonte Graham.
12. Wisconsin at Creighton – Gavitt Games – Nov. 15 (8:30 p.m.): The country knows how strong the Badgers will be this year after the transition to coach Greg Gard propelled them into the Sweet 16, but Creighton is flying a bit under the radar despite having some top-level talent in Mo Watson and Marcus Foster. The Blue Jays also have one of the more underrated home crowds in the game. This one will be a treat in the season's opening week.
13. Arizona vs. Gonzaga – Naismith Memorial HOF Game (Los Angeles) – Dec. 3 (6:30 p.m.): Two West Coast powers face off in L.A. a month into the season with perhaps a seed line at stake. Gonzaga will likely open the season in the top-15 on the strength of getting senior center Przmek Karnowski back and the Nigel Williams-Goss eligible after transferring from Washington.
t-14. North Carolina at Indiana – ACC/Big Ten Challenge – Nov. 30 (9 p.m.)
t-14. Syracuse at Wisconsin – ACC/Big Ten Challenge – Nov. 29 (9 p.m.): The ACC/Big Ten Challenge provides two more top games with the Tar Heels visiting Bloomington and the Badgers hosting the Orange. The Bryant-Kennedy Meeks matchup will be one to watch, while NBA scouts and draftniks will be tuning in to this one to see how Tyler Lydon and Nigel Hayes matchup. The game itself will provide college hoops fans plenty with the Badgers being a Big Ten favorite and Syracuse bolstering its ranks with Nebraska graduate transfer Andrew White.
15. Washington at Gonzaga – Dec. 7 (11 p.m.): The Huskies aren't a lock to make the NCAA tournament this year, but this game will still be a must-watch thanks to Gonzaga's strength, Markelle Fultz's talent and it being an in-state rivalry game played on campus. Don't underestimate how much these two fanbases dislike each other.
MORE: 2016-17 Season Preview Coverage | Conference Previews | Preview Schedule
16. UConn vs. Syracuse – New York City – Dec. 5 (7 p.m.): Madison Square Garden will play host to this former Big East rivalry game. This is the loudest you'll hear the Garden all season long, and that includes the games that the Knicks play.
17. Valparaiso at Oregon – Nov. 17 (9 p.m.): Valpo might be the best mid-major in the country and has a potential All-American in Alec Peters. The Ducks may not have Dillon Brooks for this one, but will still likely be ranked in the top-10.
18. Indiana vs Butler – Crossroads Classic – Dec. 17 (5 p.m.): A Hoosier State rivalry game that's sure to be closely contested.
19. Villanova vs. Notre Dame – Never Forget Games (Newark, N.J.) – 12 p.m.: The defending champs take on one of the ACC's best.
20. Purdue at Louisville – ACC/Big Ten Challenge – Nov. 30: Another strong game courtesy of the cross-conference challenge.
21. Villanova at Purdue – Nov. 14 (7 p.m.): This game got more difficult for the 'Cats without Omari Spellman to combat Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas.
22. Northern Iowa vs. Xavier – Nov. 16 (12 p.m.): A sneaky-strong game with Xavier being a team that figures to push Villanova in the Big East and the Panthers featuring potential MVC player of the year Jeremy Morgan.
23. Oregon at Baylor – Nov. 15 (3:30 p.m.): This will be the Ducks' only true road game in the non-conference. Baylor's Johnathan Motley figures to be a tough guard for the Pac-12 favorites.
24. Arizona vs. Texas A&M – Dec 17 (1 p.m.): The Aggies lost quite a bit from last year's team, but will still be a top-25 contender.
25. Florida State at Florida – Dec. 11 (4 p.m.): The Seminoles will bring quite a bit of talent with them to Gainesville in Dwayne Bacon and Jonathan Isaac for this intrastate rivalry game.
Vanderbilt lands commitment from top 100 big man
Bryce Drew reached up into Virginia to land a commitment from Ejike Obinna this weekend.
Obinna is a top 100 big man originally from Nigeria. At 6-foot-9, he's one of the better rebounders in the Class of 2017 and should have an immediate impact on the glass for the Commodores.
Drew beat out Florida, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Virginia Tech, among others, for Obinna's commitment.
Obinna joins wings Saben Lee and Maxwell Evans in Vandy's 2017 class.
Butler lands commitment from second top 100 prospect
Butler landed the commitment of top 100 small forward Christian David over the weekend.
"I am excited and proud to announce my commitment to Butler University," David posted on twitter on Saturday night.
David is a well-rounded perimeter player. At 6-foot-6, he has the size and athleticism to finish and the rim and overpower smaller defenders, but he can also knock down a three and make plays with the ball in his hands.
A four-star recruit, Butler beat out Pitt and Creighton for the services of the native Canadian.
Pac-12 Commissioner Scott has no issue with pregame protests
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott has no issue with players protesting during the national anthem long as it's done in a respectful way.
Athletes across the country have staged a variety of pregame protests after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the anthem in protest of police violence against African-Americans and minorities.
"Very much believe in the idea of freedom of speech and individuals' right to express themselves," Scott said. "I've also always seen sport as a great platform for positive social change. To the extent that they're individuals that want to use their celebrity or use the platform to try to send a positive message and make a positive impact on society. I think that's great.
"I've seen plenty of examples in my career of tennis players and others doing that. As long as it's done in a respectful way, in a way that's not demeaning to other people and not disruptive, I think it's absolutely fine."
The entire Indiana Fever team recently knelt during the anthem before a playoff game. Several other NFL players, U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe and scores of high school and college players also have participated in some form.
Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade gave an anti-violence speech at the ESPYS and expressed their support of the values behind the Black Lives Matter movement in July.
University of California-Berkeley professor emeritus Dr. Harry Edwards told the Associated Press in July that today's athletes have a level of power that Muhammed Ali and others didn't have in the 1960s, and they have begun using it to speak out against violence both by and against police. The newfound power of today's athlete comes from monetary wealth, celebrity status and having the vehicle of social media to communicate directly with the masses.

Honestly there's a lot of stuff like that. Most of it is OK when I try it, but not great. I've had blood sausage and it was OK. I've had the basic heart/liver/stomach type offal but I don't line up for them. The most prosaic, and uniformly the worst for me, is simply animal fat. Blubber or whatever you want to call it. Fatty tissue without any muscle. The mouth feel, etc. has caused me to gag and literally vomit on multiple occasions so now if if I bite into what I think will be meat and it gives like fat I quickly spit it out. I'm OK with marbled meat to a point, but warm fat just ain't happening.
Love scallops though.

HBO PPV To Carry Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather Event
By Jake Donovan
HBO continues its long standing relationship with Floyd Mayweather, as it was announced Thursday afternoon that the cable giant's pay-per-view arm will serve as the provider for the May 5 superfight between the unbeaten pound-for-pound king and 154 lb. titlist Miguel Cotto.
The event takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cotto's alphabet title will be at stake, with Mayweather – the reigning welterweight king – moving up to the 154 lb. division as opposed to demanding a catchweight.
Both fighters saw their most recent fights hosted by HBO PPV, each producing massive results. Mayweather (42-0, 26KO) continued his dominance in the ring and at the box office last September, when his 4th round knockout of Victor Ortiz produced his third consecutive pay-per-view event to sell more than 1 million units.
A titlist in five weight classes, including lineal reigns at super featherweight, lightweight and twice at welterweight, Mayweather was also the winner in the biggest pay-per-view event in boxing history, when his 154 lb. title winning effort against Oscar de la Hoya racked up a record 2.4 million buys. The event generated more than $136 million in pay-per-revenue and over $19 million at the live gate.
The showdown with Cotto will mark Mayweather's ninth HBO PPV headlining appearance, all coming within his last ten fights. Prior to his first PPV headliner – a six-round destruction of the late Arturo Gatti, Mayweather appeared on HBO's flagship station for 15 fights over a six-plus year stretch.
Cotto (37-2. 30KO) is no stranger to the Network of Champions himself. The Puerto Rican superstar has headlined 11 HBO broadcasts and five more on its pay-per-view arm.
Unlike Mayweather, Cotto has also walked across the street for televised action. Cotto appeared on a Showtime broadcast in December 2006, and in a rare Showtime pay-per-view event last March when he scored a 12th round stoppage of Ricardo Mayorga.
The latter bout served as a package deal of sorts, as then-promoter Bob Arum took that fight as well as the Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley pay-per-view event to Showtime.
This time around, HBO – now manned by former Showtime exec Ken Hershman – prevented history from repeating itself by presenting an enticing enough offer to convince all parties involved that the bout belongs on the network that made both fighters famous.
"We're thrilled that will be presenting the Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto pay-per-view event on May 5," Hershman stated in announcing the news Thursday afternoon. "We are looking forward to working with Floyd, Miguel, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions on this special event."

R.J. DeLuke's Best Releases of 2011
The annual process of selecting any list of "best" for the year is a precarious endeavor, especially in music where one man's Miles is another man's Megadeath. But it's an entertaining exposure and it also is a good way to look back and remember what good disks were produced.
Another problem is that each year there is sooo much good music recorded. Some great music. But that is also in the ear of the behearer. Additionally, while as a writer I am exposed to more music than the average fan, there is a ton of music I don't receive (I am not a CD reviewer). For example, I would have loved to have heard Bill Frisell's John Lennon project and John Scofield's ballad album, among others. And hopefully I will, eventually. But what I don't hear, obviously, isn't up for inclusion.
I'm truly for the music I do receive, as it helps a person keep tabs on what's out there; keep a finger on the pulse of the scene. And this year there are more people who are definitely not household names on the list, the result of being exposed to it. Every year some superb albums come from the less well-lit corners of the jazz scene.
Joe Lovano and Us Five
(Blue Note)
Of course Lovano is a heavyweight no question. The quality of his albumsand his playingis always. US Five is a great group and their exploration of Charlie Parker is innovative and exciting. Lovano is so fucking good. This band is also kick ass live and shouldn't be missed.
Ambrose Akinmusire
When the Heart Emerges Glistening
(Blue Note)
Akinmusire is a unique musician and individual. This came close to breaking my Album of the Year edict, just by the way this trumpeter has achieved a personal approach to music and sound at a young age. And still developing. And eager to develop. My conversations with him have been enlightening and this is one cat to keep an ear on. Strong band, captivating music.
Stan Killian
Didn't know who this cat was when I first spun the disk. Rich tenor sound; fluid and full of ideas. He's got that something extra that will push him from the pack, perhaps. Solid tunes, good band, and appearances by Binney and Pelt and Roy Hargrove. This is a very sharp recording.
Tineke Postma
The Dawn of Light
(Challenge Records)
This young saxophonist from Holland has one of the sweet saxophone sounds I've heard come down the pike in a while. And her approach, full of warmth and wonder, is charming. She's been gigging in the U.S. over the years and playing with heavy cats, including Terri Lyne Carrington's Mosaic project. This is with her own band of guys from the Netherlands. They were excellent at the North Sea Jazz Fest in July.
Michael Pedicin
Ballads ... Searching for Peace
(Jazz Hut)
This album is just what it says it is. And wonderfully refreshing on a scene where everyone is trying to be "different" and "innovative" to varying degrees of success. These are ballads featuring the big, luscious tenor sound of Pedicin. Guitarist John Valentino provides a couple originals, but ballads. Barry Miles piano is equally sweet. This is first-class gorgeous music that we should never lose. It's not just old standards either. Wayne Shorter and McCoy Tyner's diving "Search for Peace" are there. I recommend it for getting laid. (Does it HAVE to always be the art?)
David Binney
Graylen Epicenter
Binney is a guy who has really emerged in the last couple of years. A dynamic player with an open musical mind and a spirited attack. He plays with the best cats on the Brooklyn scene and is highly respected. A sharp musical mind with an eagerness to explore.
James Farm
James Farm
James Farm is a relatively new band of extraordinary musicians that I hope steers this ship for a long time, even though they all are quite busy outside the group. Of course it's Joshua Redman, Matt Penman, Eric Harland and Aaron Parks. Sometimes "star" groups go astray, but this is truly a group of comrades with no ego center and a communal approach. It's only going to get better. Love this group!
John Daversa
Junk Wagon: The Big Band Album
This music has a lot of modern pop rhythmic things in places, including rap, and an electric bass. It's dynamic and energetic. Daversa doesn't take any ethereal flights of fancy like many of today's arrangers. He's charging out of the gate, but shows a lot of different colors and levels of intensity. Grows and stands strong with repeated listens.
Noah Haidu
This is kind of mainstream, though there are moments outside of that, but the group of younger cats wails throughout. Even with names like Jeremy Pelt and Jon Irabagon, there's no question pianist Haidu is in charge. He got the right feel and the album is swinging fun throughout. Great execution.
Armen Donelian
This veteran pianist puts out consistently good music, this time choosing to investigate the quintet setting again. His writing is attractive and the overall feel is very cool. Mike Moreno's guitar blends nicely with the melodies and harmonies and Tyshawn Sorey's drums are always what the music calls for, fast or slow.
Historical Album
Miles Davis Quintet, Live In Europe 1967, The Bootleg Sessions. What else? This could be the best music put out in 2011. Or since who knows when. One could argue that this groupWayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, Milesis the greatest ever, anywhere. And many do argue that. This is live music from the and the apex of their collective powers. Three disks and a DVD. A stone-cold motherfucker.
Vocal Albums
Not a lot pop to my head this year, but everything Kurt Elling does is worthy and The Gate (Concord) is no exception. Pop Tunes like "Norwegian Wood" exposed in new lights, and jazz stuff like "Blue and Green."
Gretchen Parlato's style and delivery is unique. The Lost and Found (Obliqsound) is filled with unusual tunes but her emotive quality and sense of seeking bring the art together. And she enlists first-rate cats like pianist Taylor Eigsti and drummer Kendrick Scott. This grows on you.
Karrin Allyson's voice and harmonious piano sounds shine brightly on Round Midnight (Concord), a collection of standards done is classy, sensual style. I haven't heard enough of this disk yet, but thought enough of the quality that it belongs here. She's a very consistent and quality artist who really puts herself into her music.
Honorable Mentions
Jonathan Kriesberg: Shadowless (New For Now Music). This is one slick guitarist with a fine band featuring Will Vinson's sax. Love the smoothness of the tunes, the execution, solos. Very crisp and quite appealing.
Chantale Gagne: Wisdom of the Water (CDBY). A fine pianist with a joyous expression to her touch, and a great band including Lewis Nash and Peter Washington. Joe Locke's vibes are blissful throughout, matching the pianists buoyant feel. Look forward to more from this lady.
John Escreet: The Age We Live In (Mythology Records). This young Brit transplanted to Brooklyn is making a strong name for himself. These tunes are searching and propulsive, aided by Binney, who seems to be on a lot of good albums over the last couple years. Serious music.
Jimmy Owens: The Monk Project (IPO). I like Owens's treatment of Monk material for seven musicians including Marcus Strickland, Kenny Barron, Wycliffe Gordon and Howard Johnson. It has interesting twists and stellar solos. Nice.
Silvano Monasterios: Unconditional (Savant) This is a pianist I didn't know from Adam, but it's a cooking disk of original music that has different moods, but always driving and engaging. Keep it up.
Bill Carrothers Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard (Pirouet). A fine piano trio outing from a very tasty and talented player. Group interplay and many bright moments throughout. Love the live feel. Carrothers flies under the radar, but he's one talented cat.
Sonny Rollins: Road Shows, Vol. 2: (Doxy Music). Another grouping of live Sonny from past shows. Anything liver from Sonny is worthy of high praise. This one includes the historic encounter with Ornette Coleman, which, frankly, doesn't do a lot for me, though I understand the significance. But Sonny rules, as always.

Bold. Innovative. Bipartisan.
The United
States is at a strategic inflection point in South and Central Asia. The death
of Osama bin Laden, along with the projected transition to a smaller U.S.
military presence in Afghanistan, presents a new opportunity for the United
States to think critically about how to protect its enduring interests in the
region. CNAS released today a new report, Beyond Afghanistan: A Regional Security Strategy for
South and Central Asia, that outlines the key components of a
regional strategy and makes policy recommendations that reflect the rapidly
changing events in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As the administration, Congress and the U.S. military reassess U.S. strategy in
South and Central Asia ahead of the security transition and U.S. troop drawdown
in Afghanistan, CNAS authors Lieutenant General David W. Barno, USA (Ret.),
Andrew Exum and Matthew Irvine examine the United States' relationship with
Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and offer immediate and long-term policy
recommendations for protecting U.S. interests in the region, including:

But what, exactly, will these companies do with this expensive asset?
The auction, scheduled to begin June 29, will sell off slivers of 90MHz radio spectrum in the 1.7GHz to 2.1GHz bands, which could be used to roll out more third-generation, or 3G, mobile networks or newer, 4G wireless technology that would shuttle voice, data, video and other services at even higher speeds.
"It's ideal spectrum," said Craig Mathias, an analyst with Farpoint Group. "I'd say it's as good as PCS (personal communications services) spectrum. It allows the owners of the spectrum to use any number of technologies, including next-generation cellular technology and Wimax."
On Wednesday, Verizon Wireless filed a Short Form Application with the FCC to participate in the auction, and other mobile operators, such as T-Mobile, are also expected to aggressively bid for spectrum. In addition to the traditional phone companies, other companies, such as Google and Time Warner, may also throw their hats--not to mention their checkbooks--into the ring.
On Wednesday Time Warner CEO Glenn Britt confirmed that Time Warner is considering bidding, along with Comcast, Cox Communications and Advance/Newhouse Communications. The four cable companies are already linked in a partnership with cellular provider Sprint Nextel that they announced last November.
It's difficult to know how aggressive Time Warner and the other cable companies plan to be. Britt said Time Warner may not even actually bid, but that it wanted to keep its options open.
Other rumored bidders, such as Google, have been mum about their plans. Google co-founder Larry Page said during the company's first-quarter earnings call that Google was looking into new ways to "expand" Internet access possibilities for users. Page didn't confirm the company's plans to bid on new spectrum, but he didn't deny the rumors either. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said at a press event Wednesday that the company would more than likely partner for spectrum. He indicated Google might consider teaming up with a partner to acquire new spectrum, or it might simply partner with a company that already owns spectrum.
"All these companies want to leave their options open right now," said Albert Lin, an analyst with American Technology Research. "Being a partner with a cellular provider is convenient, but it's also expensive. And even though spectrum is expensive, it's generally considered a rare commodity. The opportunity doesn't come along every day to buy it."
An alternative to standard networks?
What would these companies do with these licensed airwaves? Lin believes it's unlikely that they're looking solely to get into the already crowded cell phone business. Instead, it's much more likely they plan to use the spectrum to deliver wireless broadband services.
Time Warner and the other cable operators involved in the Sprint Nextel partnership have already indicated that adding wireless to their product suite means much more to them than simply adding cell phone service to their bundled packages.

If you're a DIYer, whether it's woodworking, 3D printing, electronics, or whatever else, it's really easy to get caught up in following a tutorial or guide. Artist Kate Harman reminds us to venture off that path sometimes.
If you want to build the best sandwiches, this simple rule of thumb will ensure that every sandwich you make turns out great.
Not matter what kind of work you do, you probably have a desire to do things differently and make your mark on the world. If you're not careful, however, you can get caught up in trying to innovate and never actually get anywhere.
You can't eat total crap and then bust your butt exercising to magically erase those calories: It's not that simple. If you want to make longer lasting, healthier changes, what and how much you eat is far more important than how much you exercise.
There's nothing wrong with spending money, but we often mindlessly spend money on crap we don't need. Our brains are easily manipulated into consuming, and as financial writer Cait Flanders reminds us: "What consumes your mind controls your life." And your finances.
We often stretch our finances thin to buy stuff we really, really want. A new, bigger TV. A fancier phone. Better clothes. Of course, this habit usually leads to financial trouble, and as money writer Natalie Bacon points out, "it's better to want than to owe."
Actor Chris Pratt shares some words of encouragement to anyone pursuing a dream: Don't give up.
You may have heard the saying, "you eat an elephant one bite at a time." Even if the metaphor makes you a little queasy, the point is a valid one: to tackle something big, you just have to start. Productivity guru David Allen makes a similar point about how powerful taking action is.
You can't buy anything with a penny these days, but, as the quote above drives home, every penny absolutely counts.
As we head into the new year, new responsibilities and new plans are on tap for a lot of people's careers. Before you tackle anything new, product manager Ankur Shukla reminds us that sometimes your stress level is the most important thing to consider.
Time is something we all wish we had more of, but it's unfortunately a finite resource. Whether you're trying to be less flaky, or you can't seem to ever be on time for anything, it can help to remember that time is valuable for everyone.
Passion is usually thought of as some intrinsic calling you either have or you don't. It's a frustrating way to think about passion if you don't know what yours is. But as author and financial expert Stefanie O'Connell points out, passion is something you can find.
