Here are the best gaming CPUs for the money. These processors offer the best performance at their price and are suitable for overclocking.
Looking for a game to play in the next few months? Take a look at some of the titles that are coming out between now and early December.
Seagate brings a thin and stylish portable backup hard disk drive to market, but don't let it's size fool you. This model packs 2TB of data capacity to keep your data safe.
Called an ATX cube by Corsair, the Carbide Air 740 fits full-tower capacity into mid-tower height by adding 50% more width. We put its "high airflow" claims to our cooling and noise test to see how it stacks up against other oversized mid-towers.
Thermaltakes flagship PSU offering is the Toughpower DPS G RGB 1500 W model, which is based on an Enhanced Electronics platform and features 80 PLUS Titanium efficiency along with a fully modular cable design and a digital interface.
If you're gaming on a budget, 24-inch TN monitors offers a lot of performance for the money. The AOC G2460PF features FHD resolution with FreeSync and 144Hz operation. We're checking it out today.
If you can't beat them, undercut them on price. Intel plans to do just that with the first TLC-based NVMe M.2 SSD to hit the market. The new 600p Series ships in three low-cost capacities, and a 1TB drive will join them, but endurance is a sticking point.
From the NV1 in 1995 to Pascal in 2016, we look at the evolution of Nvidia's GPUs.
Can low-cost motherboards support the full performance of enthusiast CPUs and graphics cards? We tested MSI's fabulously inexpensive H110M Pro-D to find out.
Rosewill proves it's possible to fit big cooling and big motherboards into a mid-sized case, and even classes it up a little with tempered glass panels. We check out its details before comparing its performance to two strategically matched competitors.
The highest-end member of Thermaltake's Toughpower SFX Gold line is on our test bench today. It offers Gold efficiency, modular cabling, and a semi-passive fan mode. Thanks to its 600 W capacity, you can easily build a powerful system with it.

Slashdot users are extremely unhappy with the new Slashdot Beta design. The comment section of every single post is devoted to dissatisfaction with the new design.

I really wish I had some mod points for you folks! Made my night.
Can you direct us to a white paper enumerating best practices for optimal client-centered Buzzword Bingo methodologies?
We should not overestimate the transformational power of industry buzzwords, nor the new synergies they can help us achieve in emerging vertical markets. What we need is a new paradigm embracing the best practices that will lead us to ever growing profitability.
While you touched on many important paradigms, I think it's crucial to understand that the core of the problem with the buzzword complex is that it overemphasizes the transformative cultural forces present in highly interactive social network ecosystems.
What we truly need is a flexible and authentic approach to telling deep, engaging stories about a performative community culture that focuses not only on iteration but also on building meaningful relationships within our social graphs in order to create an innovative and multifaceted story-based brand, through which we can see past the unnecessary and false dichotomy between sustainable growth and scalable, engaging profit opportunities.

They even go over them with you. You do have to have a modicum of cardiac AND electric knowledge or it's pointless of course. I have plenty of both so it wasn't an issue. EVER.
I suggest you put down most of your computing devices then. Intel is HUGE here, as is Motorola and Microchip. American Express and Goodyear Tire are also huge here (eg Goodyear, AZ is a real town named after.... Goodyear Tire). So no electronics for you, no plane rides (who do you think makes the tires for the planes and the emergency chutes you jump on to escape the plane?), lose those tires. Cut up that card.
Oh, and if the AC is calling my died in the wool liberal wife racist? Get a life. A state isn't racist, mentally handicapped conservatives in the state legislature are. They get voted in by snowbirds, the elderly who relocate here 6 months out of the year. Like your grandparents.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Florida Havana
A beautiful old building right in the heart of Old Havana. The rooms are large and have marble floors. The furniture although old does the job. Every night there is salsa dancing in the piano bar and the hotel has wifi which is rare in Havana.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Florida Havana
Already needs a refresh
Great location an easy stroll from the Plaza de Armas and Plaza de San Francisco, and neither too far from the Parque Central (also less than 10 mins stroll).
The public areas pleasant enough, The (over-priced) food at the restaurant is as unremarkable as in most of the rest of Cuba
Our suite (Room 22 on the second floor) was quite large, with 20ft high ceilings, but despite having been relatively recently renovated, was already showing signs of wear and tear, that you could either describe as characterful or unhygienic: large areas of peeling paint, brown and green mould, to match the overwhelming mint/lime colouring of the rest of the hotel. The main bed was comfortable, albeit furnished with the ubiquitous roll of foam that passes for a pillow throughout Cuban hotels.
The sofa bed was very poor quality and uncomfortable.
The air conditioning was effective and unusually quiet, but I can't understand why you'd go to all the trouble to refurbish a beautiful building only to cut out large chunks out of the most incredibly ornate coving for air conditioning vents - it certainly ruined the ambience of the room, which in fact is the main reason (other than location) that you'd choose one of the habaguanex hotels.
The marble floors were clear but really clean.
The bathroom was functional but with leaky plumbing, made worse by an ineffective shower curtain.
Front desk staff were as diffident about service as anywhere else, but the maintenance men fell over themselves to repair our son's push chair, and refused to accept any tokens of our appreciation.
The maids were efficient and largely invisible, except for the standard 'wishing your dreams come true' tip-reminder note - also ubiquitous in Cuban hotels. A relatively standard trick: the maid who did some of our laundry (not cheap) decided to iron (at extra cost), against our instruction.
The best.....
The best hotel that I stayed at on my three visits to Havana during my Cuban adventure.
Extremely friendly,polite and helpful staff.I was upgraded to a corner suite room on arrival, well three rooms actually all with balcony!.The hotel exudes colonial charm and sits on one of the main pedestrian throughfares,Obispo, in Old Havana. It really makes you feel part of your surroundings...you can smell the history!
Believe me if you can forego the use of a swimming pool then you will not do better than to book yourself into this hotel.
For your information the other hotels I stayed at were the Raquel and the Parque Central which were both good hotels in their own right but were always runners up to the Florida when it came to service and all round charm and appeal.
A little expensive but very nice
Lovely large rooms with beamed ceilings and big bathrooms, simple elegant furniture. Charming inner courtyard. The location is great, right on the busy Calle Obispo.
Breakfast was disappointing. Overall the hotel is a little expensive.
Our room was unavailable when we arrived which seems to be a recurring problem in Cuba.....
We checked out several other hotels while in Habana and would also reccommend Raquel, Santa Isabel, Ambos Mundos (slightly scruffier but fun), Telegrafo and Sevilla if you want a pool. Don't reccommend Nacional or Parque Central. Much better to stay in old or central Havana if you are on a short stay.
Great location but can be noisy
The hotel was great, and as people have mentioned, it has a fabulous location and the staff are friendly.
It has a piano bar with live music most nights in a very well sound proofed room. However, the hotel can be noisy when this bar closes at 2am - mainly due to drunk people finding their way back to their room - although having done this myself once, I can't really complain. It's the mojitos.
As another reviewer also commented, the car park gate at the side of the hotel is very squeaky and can wake you.
Only one criticism of the hotel itself, which is that the bedroom floors were always dusty and dirty so I don't recommend bare feet, especially if they are still slightly damp from the shower !!
No problems with dodgy plumbing.
Location, Location, Location
This hotel was excellent. We stayed for 2 nights in October 2004.
The hotel is full of character and the courtyard area is lovely.
The room was ideal - very high ceilings, with a lovely marble bathroom. Our room had a fridge. The breakfast at the hotel was fine too.
Its the location that makes it, right on the Obispo, but still quiet. Walking distance to anywhere in Havana Vieja.
Top tip: Ask for a tour of the Grand Theatre -- its spectacular and we got to see a ballet being rehearsed.
Gracious hotel
Good location to walk around Havana Vieja. Our room (Junior suite) was big enough with veranda, People are nice, the bar has nice atmosphere, the pianist there was very good.
Great hotel in old havana
We stayed in this charmingly renovated hotel in July - lovely accommodation - clean, friendly, very well located. Breakfast was a good buffet, covering all tastes. Only the creaking car park gate at the back of the hotel sometimes woke us up - but that can't be helped! no issues with power cuts or dodgy bathrooms, as in other hotels....
Hotel Florida - fabulous
The Hotel Florida is in a grear location, right in the heart of Havan Vieja. Beautifully restored, with huge rooms, lovely and helpful staff and great breakfasts. Highly recommended!
Hotel Florida-by far the best
If you want to be in the most historic part of Havana-in Habana Vieja-this is by far the best hotel. It is a confortably small hotel with aproximately 15-20 rooms. The building is a renovated stone colonial structure with beautiful rooms. The cielings in the rooms are 12 feet high with iron balconies that look over the narrow walking street in front of the hotel. The bathrooms are marble and tile. It is like being in a palace; the rooms open up to inner courtyard with corinthian collumns surrounding the lobby below. Suprisingly, the Florida was the same price as the other hotels (the Plaza, Inglaterra, Sevilla, Ambos Mundos, etc) but at least three times as beautiful. We unfortunately stayed at the Plaza for the first 6 days of our 8 day trip. Next time will be spent at the Florida.
A great place to stay in Havana
This is a wonderful hotel (for Cubans standards). Located in Havana Vieja in a renovated colonial building. Clean, not too big. A great band plays in the bar almost every night.

It's sure to be the wedding of the year – no offense, Kate Middleton – and Sunday night, Twilight fans got a glimpse of the grand occasion at the MTV Movie Awards.
Just days after a sneak peek of the wedding dress was released, the saga's stars, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner introduced the trailer of Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
In the preview, invitations to Bella Swan (Stewart) and Edward Cullen's (Pattinson) wedding begin to trickle out – to the dismay of werewolf Jacob, played by Lautner, who completes the Twilight love triangle.
"You are cordially invited to the event that will change everything," fans are teased in the trailer.
But what about that pillow-biting sex scene?
A quick shot of Pattinson and Stewart getting hot and heavy on their honeymoon in a moment of passion lives up to the actor's promise last year that "it does actually literally get more physical in Breaking Dawn."
At the end of the trailer, Stewart rubs her belly, implying she's pregnant – a plot twist that has already made headlines due to the book's gruesome account of the childbirth scene.

As we said from the jump!
Sounds like Michael Savage was right. The downing of the seal team helo was one of the topics he just wouldn't let go.
I couldn't find the "artical", but I did find the article.
Can someone explain the thinking here? This happened last year. How is it Obama's fault?
0bama announced to the world that members of SEAL team 6 hit Osama.
Members of SEAL team 6 were lured into an ambush, possibly in retaliation.
Spell check is our friend.
When will out Generals and Commandants in charge of these young men and women say ENOUGH?
When will they stand together and recite their oath to each other and let the part "foreign and domestic" take hold of their inner soul?
Trust me, I have the utmost respect for our military, but this is where it starts. America has been comprimised from the executive branch.
What is it the muslims call killing one for another, some sort of blood revenge? I will never doubt in a million years obama didn't set them up to repay his muzzie brothers.
I am an American Soldier...defender of freedom against tyranny
and when I enter the valley of death
and the angel of Satan appears at my shoulder
I will be resolute and fear no evil
And my Lord in heaven will guide my sword.

angel = agent
But, but, but - when Obama made the announcement - when he pulled protection from the brave Seal teams, didn't he and Biden get a boast in the polls? And weren't Muslim extremists secretly thrilled Obama identified their targets? Doesn't that count for something? /s
What can I say? What can anyone say? Best to keep it simple - FUBO - FUBO - FUBO...
Not to mention that it is HIGHLY unusual to have that many Special Forces all together on one helicopter at the same time. The whole op was highly unusual from inception to conclusion.
National security "lapse" by Obama.
Even Senator Diane Feinstein (Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee) is concerned about classified information coming from the White House, and the implications of the leaks. The leaks have one thing in common: they affirm Obama's (supposed) role as a tough "Commander-in-Chief".
Post of the month.
Maybe of the year.
An awful lot of good men have fallen because of the vanity of a certain person who shall remain nameless, because his name would sully the memory of those who died serving their country.
You're right, null. Pretty amazing.
"Special Forces" is the Army Special Forces, most of those on the helicopter were Navy.
I meant it generically. If the Navy Seals are not 'Special Forces', no one is.
0bummer hates every second of this...
Well Special Forces are.
If you are going to call non-Special Forces people, Special Forces, then what do we change the Special Forces name to?
Army Special Forces are casually known as the Green Berets, they and SEALS, Rangers, etc are all "Special Operations" troops.
I still believe there was a FReeper on that helicopter.
Perhaps. How would we know?

In 2011, Caroline Pittard gave the commencement address at the Centura College campus in North Charleston, sharing with graduates the idea that life's challenges shouldn't get in the way of one's dreams. Having struggled all her life with stuttering, speaking to a group of people like that was a crowning achievement for Pittard.
Facts about stuttering
Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by a high frequency and/or duration of disruptions that impede the forward flow of speech.
The exact cause of stuttering is unknown, but it does have a neurological component as well as a genetic component. Environmental influences can trigger the onset of stuttering and easily exacerbate it.
About 1 percent of the world population (3 million Americans) stutters.
Stuttering affects about four times as many boys than girls.
Famous people who stutter or stuttered: Marilyn Monroe, James Earl Jones, Joe Biden, Tiger Woods, Julia Roberts, Winston Churchill, John Stossel and Bruce Willis.
Young children beginning to stutter who receive appropriate intervention early have an excellent prognosis for recovery.
Source: Caroline Pittard and National Stuttering Association
Stuttering resources
Caroline Pittard is the chapter leader of the National Stuttering Association's Family and Adult Chapters in Charleston, which offers support groups for adults and children. Group meets 6-7:30 p.m. the second Tuesday of March, June, September and December at Pittard Speech, 1177 Gregorie Ferry Road, Suite 108, in Mount Pleasant. For more information, contact Caroline Pittard at email@example.com or 270-7231.
Also learn more about stuttering via the National Stuttering Association at www.westutter.org.
"It was the best experience of my life," she says. "For me, it was a huge accomplishment and an amazing experience."
Drawing on her own personal experience with stuttering, Pittard became a speech language pathologist and runs her own practice in Mount Pleasant. She specializes in working with children, teens and adults who stutter.
Her own struggles with stuttering make her keenly aware of the challenges her patients face and give her the opportunity to be a role model.
As a child, Pittard's stuttering was more situational, worsening when she was nervous or had to read aloud in front of her classmates. In a one-on-one setting, she wasn't likely to stutter so therapists never diagnosed her with stuttering. As she grew older, the stuttering worsened and she finally met a speech therapist who diagnosed her with stuttering and helped her learn the techniques to manage it.
Don't just 'wait and see'
Pittard is a proponent of early intervention, encouraging parents to have their child evaluated if they suspect a problem rather than simply waiting to see if the child outgrows the stuttering.
Many children, especially when they are first learning to talk, may get tripped up on a word or stutter over a syllable. That can be a normal part of developing language and motor skills.
Pittard points to two key red flags for parents: having a relative who stutters and if the stuttering lasts six months or longer.
Parents also should notice if the child continually struggles to get a word out, particularly if it's a word they know such as their name, or if the child uses partial words.
Signs of stuttering tend to develop between ages 2 and 5. While many pediatricians may suggest a "wait and see" approach, Pittard recommends parents seek out a speech therapist with experience in stuttering.
"Early intervention is key," Pittard says. "The longer you wait, the harder it is to treat."
Pittard has a shelf of games from Candy Land to Blurt!, which are therapy tools that help patients practice basic sentences or filling in the blank during a quick, timed game. Another technique is helping people who stutter learn to control their speech so they aren't trying to push all the words out at once.
To illustrate this technique, Pittard has patients use a Slinky, stretching it as they speak to encourage a slower speech pace.
Mastering techniques
Eli Braddock was first identified as stuttering when he was 4 years old. He went through a series of speech therapists, but as he grew older, he no longer wanted to attend therapy. His parents let him take a break and, by middle school, Eli was asking to return to therapy.
At that point, says his mother, Jill Braddock, the family found Pittard and the National Stuttering Association, giving them a wealth of information about their son's condition.
Now Eli works with Pittard, learning techniques for managing his stuttering. They meet at Towne Centre in Mount Pleasant to practice everyday situations that could trigger Eli's stuttering and work to manage those situations. They go into Barnes & Noble to ask for a book or stop off at a store where Eli has to ask the clerk for a shirt in his size.
"It's useful meeting and practicing in a stressful, real-life situation," Jill Braddock says. "It's easy to use techniques in a controlled setting and be successful."
Eli attends Charleston Schools of the Arts, where he studies creative writing, plays guitar and sings in a band. His mom says that while Eli has to deal with stuttering all the time, it hasn't held him back. "He's working on it and working with someone who can help him, so I don't think it ever will."
That's exactly the outcome Pittard strives to achieve with her patients. As a child, she didn't talk much and didn't participate in activities that required public speaking.
"I let it hold me back until I finally got to the point where I was going to have a life and not let how I talked determine how I would live my life," Pittard said.

One thing that always strikes me, when visiting the US, is the relative lack of interest in the value of monuments (mainly architectural) of the 'recent' past. I wholeheartedly agree with your 'historical viewpoint', in fact you reminded me of a 'before and after' series I would like to post to Panoramio, thanks.
I like this photo!
I just noticed that they took away the other nearby shots from over the map, Dianne. I have three other shots of this diner to the left and right with the little black arrows over the picture, and a barn shot that was pretty close by, too.
You are quite right, in Holland we would call this a 'stoep' (pronounced same as stoop) this picture proves to me that all mothers are created equal, and all are equally dear. What strikes me about this photo is she decided to stand in the most dangerous part of the stoep for this portrait and I'm wondering whether this tells us something about her personality.
Hi Hans! Rotterdammer van nature zou ik alles wat Amsterdam is af moeten wijzen (onzin natuurlijk) maar met zulke plaatjes is dat wel héél moeilijk!
Gr, Ed.
I did look at the other similar photograph, and I like this one more because of the gesture of the woman you have centered on. She seems to have such concern from the sad event.
Well I noticed your photo when looking at the map in Panoramio. We almost have the same shot in different seasons. You were standing left of me. Crazy! :]
Thanks for your comment on my theo van gogh photograph, and nice to see that you also like this particular spot. Brooklyn Bridge
2004, Dam Square in Amsterdam. The night of the day of Dutch cinematographer, Theo van Gogh's murder.
Another really powerful documenting image. :]

Hi, Just to let you know, you left a message on this James' site in 2013 about his serving in the Battle of Kings Mountain, but this James did not. I believe yours died in about 1838, or after 1833 and mine died in 1810-1811 and had different kids and died in different counties as well.

So the stock pops $4 because of a $.47 dividend? I doubt it.I think a drop off is more likely. It's September.I'd love an article about a possible takeover by a huge bank looking for a large deposit base or some more speculation on a Canadian bank. That kind of thing gets the price popping.
the stock pops because folks realize its not a victim of the deals that dropped the biggies, and hasn't to this point succumbed to the pressures affecting others, pays the divvies, and lives up to its word just like it did during the depression as NCs only surviving bank. When oil steadies, housing rebounds, and folks start hiring the stock will ride back. Those who predict 40s and 50s are opinions not fact based, and the time frames are unpredictable. Karen Finnerman cannot affect BBandT anymore than the totals held by all the posters on this board."Integrity Bank's skyrocket run as the fastest-growing bank in Georgia history, fueled by housing construction, has ended in failure.Friday, August 29, 2008Integrity Bank fails, bought by Regions FinancialAtlanta Business Chronicle - by Joe Rauch Staff WriterBirmingham, Ala.-based Regions Financial Corp.

Steve Smith has produced just like Ron Rivera and the Carolina Panthers have expected to this season. But the head coach knows the team needs to find downfield targets besides Smith for the vertical passing game to be successful. Smith is the only listed wide receiver to have more than one catch for the Panthers in each of the past two games. No. 2 wideout Brandon LaFell had only one grab against the Giants and Falcons combined, and quarterback Cam Newton has spread the ball around to different targets in the past two games.

If you want to learn how to navigate your exit in a way that leaves a positive impression and helps your reputation - don't miss this workshop!

Love Beta: Consciousness of Chaos and the Art of Perpetual Curiosity and Empathy
Presenter: Michael Jager, Chief Creative Officer, Solidarity of Unbridled Labour (formerly Jager Di Paola Kemp Design)
Designing the life you love demands fearless furious focus and a love of evolution because design never sleeps and culture is a river you can never step into twice. With nearly three decades of design, fears, flows, futures, and friendships, this session is designed to share a series of insights, stories, and possibilities to help fuel curiosity into what can be and what potential truly matters as we design our lives and what we do with them.

Maximizing Your Twenties: Time, Connection and Experience
Presenter: Stephanie Hainley MBA '12, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Project Manager, White + Burke Real Estate Investment Advisors
As you enter this critical decade, how will you use time to your advantage, make meaningful connections, and experience the world? What would you like to see when you look back at 30? And what do an animal shelter and the stock market have in common? In this session, we'll answer these questions, with participants leading the direction of the discussion--covering such topics as "recalculating," striking the right balance, beta-testing life theories, time/project management, avoiding being uni-faceted, and giving attention where it's due. Unafraid of being completely transparent, Stephanie will share her lessons-learned (so far) in her nine-year career in commercial development, her transformative process after tragedy, and her bite-sized rules for navigating the world as she knows it.

Pink Lego Houses
Presenter: Kathy Seiler, Science Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Division of Information Technology and Sciences

Say What?!
Presenter: Cinse Bonino, Director, Center for Instructional Practice
Explore how often we assume people understand our words and actions when in fact they don't. Then consider the flip side - how we are so sure what someone meant by what they said or did but discover they actually meant something else entirely. Communication is slippery. It takes good observation skills, a willingness to be authentic, and the courage to keep going until everyone understands. Are you gentle and pushy enough to be an excellent communicator?

The Unspoken Rules of the Art World
Presenter: Chris Thompson, MFA '14 and Curator in Residence

Three Paths to Success in the Creative Industry: Entrepreneur for Social Impact, Video Game Designer, and Academic Researcher/Filmmaker
Presenters: Angelique Mannella, Founder, Decode Global; Tanya Short, Founder of an Independent Game Studio; and Gina Haraszti, Creative Director, Technoculture, Art and Games Research Center at Concordia University
Angelique will talk about what social entrepreneurship is, describe her experiences as a social entrepreneur, and give advice on launching a social venture. Tanya will talk about the benefits of working at a larger game studio vs. being more entrepreneurial/independent, and then give advice for each "path." Gina will tell stories about being a filmmaker, her experience at school, and her real world experience.
Understanding the Market Value of Volunteering
Presenter: Abraham Rash, UVM Campus Peace Corps Recruiter
One of the most frustrating problems for recent graduates is the "must have 2-5 years of experience" trap, in which supposedly entry-level positions demand the very experience that applicants are hoping to gain. Too often, students focus only on internships as the only solution to this problem, and discount volunteering. This workshop examines the skills developed via volunteering experience, and offers multiple examples of ways in which rising seniors can position themselves to enter the employment market on their terms.
What's Missing? to Make Your Own Business!
Presenter: Rosalynne (Roz) Whitaker-Heck, Associate Dean for Administration/Associate Professor, Center for Communication and Creative Media

The session will highlight how to recognize and analyze the potential for starting a business, how to team it, and how to use strategies to attract your clients for practically no money. Session participants are encouraged to bring their business ideas for discussion.
You Can't Afford Not to Go: Study Abroad
Presenter: Jim Cross, Associate Provost, International Education and Senior International Officer
Having an international experience adds value to your undergraduate education and enhances your opportunity for jobs and career advancement. Learn about Champlain College's signature guided immersion programs in Montreal, Quebec; Dublin, Ireland; Shanghai, China; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Auckland, New Zealand; and Ifrane, Morocco, that combine study abroad with opportunities for internships, service learning and volunteer work that will build your resume and provide personal and professional growth.

Former Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Will Muschamp will be announced Tuesday as the Florida Gators new head coach upon Urban Meyer's leaving.
The decision by Muschamp apparently was more sentimental than anything. He spent 10 years in Gainesville as a kid. He also graduated from Georgia and coached at Auburn and LSU, all SEC schools.
He made it clear that he admired Texas Coach Mack Brown. However, some believe Muschamp—who was supposed to be the head coach in waiting—simply got tired of waiting for Brown to retire.
Muschamp's decision makes a lot of sense from his standpoint.
But does it make sense in the overall scheme of things?
Here are 10 reasons Will Muschamp will fail miserably as Florida's head coach.

Fielder named NL player of week
Chicago - To the surprise of no one who saw him play last week, Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder has been named the National League player of the week for the period June 6-12.
In seven games last week, Fielder hit a National League-leading .500 (10-for-20) and led the majors with six home runs, a 1.500 slugging percentage, a .643 on-base percentage and 30 total bases while tying for the lead in RBI with 13. His seven walks ranked second in the NL while his seven runs scored were tied for second in the league.
Fielder had four multi-hit performances and homered in five of the Brewers' seven games this week. On June 8, Fielder went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI, his second four-RBI game of the week. His second homer of the day was a game-tying, two-run blast in the bottom of the eighth, which propelled the Brewers to an eventual 7-6 victory over the visiting New York Mets.
Fielder continued his power surge into the Brewers' weekend series with division rival St. Louis. Fielder homered and scored two runs in Milwaukee's 5-3 win over the visiting Redbirds on Saturday. In Sunday's series finale, Fielder went 2-for-3 and smashed a 440-foot, two-run blast in the sixth inning to give the Brewers a lead they would not relinquish. The 4-3 win capped a three-game sweep for the Brewers and moved them into first place in the NL Central.
Fielder's 58 RBI are tops among National Leaguers this season while his 19 home runs rank second. This is his second weekly award this season (having also won for the week of April 4-10) and the fourth of his career.
Other noteworthy performances last week included Fielder's Milwaukee teammates Ryan Braun (.333, HR, 6 RBI, 7 R) and Zack Greinke (2-0, 3.21 ERA, 15 SO, 14.0 IP); Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez (.452, 14 H, 5 2B, .710 SLG) and Troy Tulowitzki (.400, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 12 H, .667 SLG); Matt Kemp (.400, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 1.080 SLG) of the Los Angeles Dodgers; Cincinnati's Mike Leake (2-0, 1.13 ERA, 11 SO, 16.0 IP); Philadelphia's Cliff Lee (2-0, 0.60 ERA, 17 SO, 15.0 IP); San Diego's Tim Stauffer (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 13 SO, 15.0 IP); and Washington's Drew Storen (4 SV, 0.00 ERA, 4 SO, 5.0 IP) and Jordan Zimmerman (1-0, 0.64 ERA, 14.0 IP, 13 SO).

Heard too many, "it's gotta go up" chants. Heard too many "how long can this thing stay down" chants. Heard too many (and believe me I've done this hearing first hand way too many times) "Dan was off his game today, Dan wasn't into it, Dan needed more coffee, Dan's a doctor, not a speaker" and on and on, ad-nauseum.
I've been here since the CBMI days, a really long time so I have a lot of history. There's a few of you that can recall handles like (on the good side) olhardhead, eurosurgeon, dutchtrader2003, lamberts_lunatics, dennis_clauder, hscberry, tarheelpwg (still here), arkwampus_cat, Gwen (here very occasionally), BugsyFF, auraerej, and many others. Then there were the not so good like, T1fear, latrdaze, ezdone, diamondjr, capoman, glen_gold, john_washington and the current crew. Been in and out a bunch on short sprees, but the one thing that is indisputable is that someone(s), something(s) is/are holding this stock back from being successful and it's been going on for a really, really, long time. The one thing that I can think of that's been consistent through it all is the management.
I think I just need to get away from it for a good long time. Can't think of a stock I've owned that's been more depressing and unfulfilled to me. Believe me, I'm not siding with our current long term board nemesis's because he/she/they are simply moronic, but I do believe some new and more business experienced management would be helpful. Was hoping for a buyout, but I don't see it coming.
Pat I know I am responsible for many of those rah, rah chants with this company and I have been in it since 2004 when they signed with Wyeth. While it has been frustrating with this stock, especially when you watch others with less potential explode on less, you can't give up now. We have an approved drug that just hit the market just 7 months ago. It came after only a phase 2 test and it will take time for royalties to start rolling in but with Roche marketing it and with our burn rate less than $25 million/yr, it won't take much in the way of sales for the royalties on this one indication to make us profitable.
The potential is still there, probably more so than at any time in its history. What I recommend you do instead of getting out of the stock is getting away from the message boards and the day to day price movements. That is what tends to drive us crazy is the short term drops and swings without any fundamental reason for it. Hang in there and good luck.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
i know you're discouraged, but your post may be a buy signal. good luck.

Now, the games really count. As the Hockey East quarterfinal series get under way Thursday in Lowell, there are five squads with strong ties to the Boston area in the mix. But all eight teams are gunning for a spot at Boston's TD Garden, and the league semifinals, next Friday. Here's the breakdown:
No. 1 Boston College vs. No. 8 Massachusetts
No. 1 in the league, and the unanimous No. 1 in both national polls, Boston College (25-10-1; 19-7-1 Hockey East) heads into the postseason like a juggernaut. The Eagles have won their last 11 games, often decisively, after sputtering during the semester break.
"We had a 2-4-1 record after Christmas, and were in kind of a funk," said BC coach Jerry York this week. "Tommy Cross is our leader, and he just really set an example. We've been on a pretty good tear since then. We are led by our seniors, but, in particular, a junior goaltender in Parker Milner who has played outstanding for us."
Though hockey statistics can be tricky, these figures don't lie: Boston College has been dominant, leading the league in scoring (3.74 goals a game) and defense (2.22 goals against). They have the league's best penalty kill (87.1 percent), and third-best power play (22.7 efficiency). By comparison, Massachusetts (13-16-5; 9-14-4 HE) was fifth in scoring (3.07 GAG) and next-to-last in defense (3.41 GAA).
Still, Donald "Toot" Cahoon's Minutemen have already beaten the Eagles twice this season, adding an interesting twist to a quarterfinal that is a replay of the past two seasons.
"It's not your typical 1-8 match-up as far as we're concerned," said York. "UMass is one of the few teams that took a season series from us. Deservedly so -- they played extremely well in the three games. The Minutemen have our attention."
Likewise, Cahoon said he isn't putting much stock in those earlier victories against the Eagles at Amherst.
"It's a whole new time of year," he said. "BC is a great program this time of year. They refer to it as trophy season. And they know how to win these trophies.
"So I don't think those two games are going to be a real factor, other than motivating them not to look by us," he said. "Our job is to prepare these guys to play against Boston College, and to execute, and stay with the task, not for 40 minutes, but for 60 or 65 minutes (in the games go into overtime).
The question for Cahoon's Minutemen is whether they can put the puck in the net. "I think it's fair to say that over the past month our team has conjured up one good effort every weekend," he said. "Now we need to figure out how to conjure up two good efforts this weekend."
To make the task even more difficult, all three games are at BC's Conte Forum, where UMass hasn't won since Nov. 22, 2008. The Eagles have taken 10 straight since on home ice against the Minutemen.
"You cannot take anything away from BC in terms of how good they are. I am not going to compare our team to theirs, but we have some very good players as well," said Cahoon, praising veterans like T.J. Syner, Danny Hobbs, Conor Sheary and Michael Pereira. "We have some players when they are on their game and locked in, can play at this level and really make a good account of themselves.
"The X-factor is our goaltending, and I really think that both of these kids are going to be very good over time, but they are both freshmen," said Cahoon. "They are prone to freshmen type of play."
As of midweek, Cahoon hadn't tipped his hand whether he would start Steve Mastalerz (3.37 goals against average; .889 save percentage) or Kevin Boyle (3.05 GAA, .896 save percentage). Both goalies' numbers make snipers like the Eagles' Chris Kreider (20 goals, 17 assists), Barry Almeida (21 goals, 15 assists), Johnny Gaudreau (16 goals, 16 assists), and Bill Arnold (16 goals, 15 assists) salivate. Conversely, there's little doubt that BC's Milner (21-5-0, 1.87 GAA, and .926 save percentage) will get the nod in the Eagles net.
"We were really in a hard situation early in the season and through the middle of the season with stopping pucks," said York. "We sensed at the time we had a lot of 'B' goaltenders. It's hard to win championships without an 'A' goaltender. It just doesn't happen. We challenged our goaltenders, and Parker stepped up. His numbers are off the charts. He's given up one goal in the last four games."
Add an airtight defense led by Tommy Cross and Brian Dumoulin, and the Minutemen face an uphill battle, and the prospects of another 2-and-out quarterfinals.
No. 2 Lowell vs. No. 7 Providence
If familiarity breeds contempt, this series starting Thursday night at Lowell's Tsongas Center has all the markings of a brawl. Lowell (22-10-1; 17-9-1 HE) and Providence (12-18-4; 10-14-3 HE) played each other the last two nights of the regular season, with the River Hawks taking two from the Friars.
Those victories allowed Lowell and first-year coach Norm Bazin to tie the NCAA record for single-season turnaround, going from five to 22 wins. Ironically, last March, both schools were on the outside looking in as both failed to make the playoffs.
"It's going to be a really exciting for the kids because this is the best time of the year to play hockey," said Bazin, a lock for league Coach of the Year honors. "Both teams will be excited; both teams are on even ground. The regular season is obviously done with, so there's nothing to save it for."
Bazin also pointed out that Providence won't be the same team, as junior forward and leading goal scorer Tim Schaller (14 goals, six assists in 22 games) returns to the Friars lineup.
"We realize they're getting Schaller back, who is a tremendous hockey player – a possible all-league consideration type player – and he's 6-foot-2, so there's a whole lot of hockey player to deal with," said Bazin. "He's a power forward and we're going to have to contend with that down the middle. So that poses a whole new challenge."
The Friars have overcome numerous challenges this year, proving pundits, naysayers and fellow coaches (who predicted Providence would finish dead last in the league in preseason polls) wrong. The squad, said first-year coach Nate Leaman, has faced "a lot of adversity," including the loss of Schaller for 11 of the Friars 17 second-half games, and the loss of captain Danny New for a stretch.
"I thought, overall, we managed it pretty well. Now we go on to the playoffs," said Leaman. "We don't have a player on our roster that's ever played a playoff game. I think the guys are really chomping at the bit and looking forward to the opportunity."
Leaman quickly dispelled any talk that the Friars were content with simply playing in the postseason. "It was never been our goal to just make the playoffs," he said. "Our goals are higher than that."
To advance, the Friars will need to find a way to come out on top twice in a building where they haven't won in the past five years. And they'll be facing one of the league's stingiest defenses (2.52 GAA), led by sophomore goaltender Doug Carr (2.06 GAA, .928 save percentage). "I don't think any coach will dispute the fact that you don't go very far in Hockey East without good goaltending, and he's certainly provided that for us," said Bazin.
The Lowell coach also expects to lean heavily on captain Riley Wetmore (12 goals, 23 assists), superb freshman Scott Wilson (15 goals, 20 assists), and a number of dependable two-way players such as Matt Ferreira (11 goals, 18 assists). Leaman, meanwhile, said his team is well-prepared for a playoff atmosphere.
"Down the stretch in our league, there are playoff-type games, where teams are playing with playoff-type urgency, desperation and hunger," said Leaman. "Even though, we haven't played a game that's 'playoff,' I think we've been in those situations. We have to use our experiences from those situations, see what we did well in those games and see what we need to improve on in those games for us to be successful this weekend.
"For us to be a successful team, we have to have everyone's A-game, and we have to be on the same page as far as of how we're executing," he said. "Right now, our focus is do what we do when we play our best."
And, like his counterpart on the Lowell bench, Leaman thinks Schaller can be a difference maker for the Friars. "Tim is a scoring threat, he's our best faceoff player and at one point he was leading the nation in power-play goals," he said. "He brings another element to our power play. Those are three pretty big things, as well as being our first-line center and a 6-2 player that's a horse to play against."
No. 3 Boston University vs. No. 6 New Hampshire
It's not often you see these two perennial powers meeting this early in the playoffs, but Dick Umile's Wildcats (14-17-3; 11-14-2 HE) haven't met their own lofty standards this season, settling for an uncharacteristic sixth-place league finish and a matchup with Boston University (21-12-1; 17-9-1 HE).
"We started off to a real slow start (losing their first four games, including a 5-0 shutout at BU) and we were playing under the gun right from the start and obviously we had difficulty scoring through most of the season," said Umile. "Second half we played much better defensively and goaltending has been very consistent. Casey DeSmith, a freshman, played in the second half of the season and has been giving us a better opportunity to win."
The Wildcats have struggled to score, ranking next-to-last in the league in offense (2.52 goals a game). Umile also acknowledged that his team -- the least-penalized team in the league this year -- might need to play with a little more snarl in the playoffs, while being mindful of BU's potent power play (a league-high 25.7 percent efficiency).
"I'd like to be more penalized if we were higher up in the league standings," he said. "We've played with an edge and I am overall pleased with our physical effort. The guys compete hard and but I think overall we have done a good job trying to stay out of the penalty box."
A major factor will be whether UNH's DeSmith, a New Hampshire native, can continue his fine form into the playoffs. "He doesn't panic at all during the game," said Umile. "Long-shots, tips, he handles those well and if he has to make a spectacular save he is completely capable of doing that.
"He has given us an opportunity every night to win and I think going into the playoffs he is going to be obviously a key for us. We just have to do a better job when we get opportunities to score and we are going to be challenged with (BU's Kieran) Millan obviously being one of the top goaltenders" in the league.
It hasn't been a normal season for Jack Parker's No. 6-ranked Terriers, either, with the BU program rocked by scandal (stars Corey Trivino and Max Nicastro were both dismissed for alleged sexual assaults on campus) and defection (Charlie Coyle leaving early for the pro ranks). As a result, the team UNH faces has a decidedly altered look.
"Our matchup with UNH is kind of weird because we haven't played them since December, and we're obviously a different team than we were in December, not only because everyone is different after playing and practicing as long as we have, but also because we've lost three key guys that were very instrumental to our first-half success," said Parker. "Those guys are no longer with us, so it's a different team that UNH will see this weekend."
Though the team's depth was crucial in BU's second half run, Parker praised captain Chris Connolly and his veterans for saving a season that could have quickly jumped the tracks. "We've been on the front page a couple times off the ice, and that's not good for us," he said. "On the ice, I think we've handled it extremely well.
"Credit to our captains and our senior leadership for working as hard as they can to keep this team focused and playing as well as they can," said Parker. "Because we've removed guys from the team, we've had to have people step up and play different positions and/or step up and get more ice time, and mostly everybody has responded well to that situation."
Meanwhile, home ice hasn't been a huge advantage for the Terriers, who suffered six of their nine league losses at Agganis Arena. Last year, Northeastern came into the Terriers' home rink and bounced BU from the playoffs in a wild three-game set. But Parker says his Terriers aren't taking the Wildcats lightly.
"(UNH) is a team that presents a lot of challenges and our guys know that. They respect UNH as an opponent and they respect UNH's talent and their preparedness, so they know they have to be ready for that," he said. "As far as the home-ice advantage is concerned, this has been a funny year because we've played some very, very good games at home and didn't win.
"Maybe we'll have our guys get on a bus and drive around town for a minute and come back to the arena."
No. 4 Maine vs. No. 5 Merrimack
For these two blue-collar programs, this series represents not only a chance to reach the league semifinals in Boston, but it could very well decide which team gets invited to the NCAAs the following weekend. No. 10 Maine (20-11-3; 15-10-2 HE) and No. 14 Merrimack (17-10-7; 13-9-5 HE) are classic bubble teams, slotted 9th and 14th respectively in the PairWise rankings.
Goaltenders may play a huge role in this series, a rematch of last year's quarterfinals. Merrimack senior Joe Cannata (2.19 GAA; .923 save percentage), a four-year starter for Mark Dennehy's squad, is having one of his best seasons.
"He's been good since he got here," said Dennehy. "When you're a freshman and your first game is a 44-save 1-0 win, that's a pretty good start. When you look at his whole body of work, I know this year I would argue that there is not a better goalie in the country."
Meanwhile, Maine's Dan Sullivan (2.56 GAA; .908 save percentage) has been a revelation, seizing the starting job in his sophomore year.
"Dan has been fabulous," said Maine coach Tim Whitehead. "He's really solidified that position for us and has just given us that steady rock back there that the players know they can count on. I am really proud of Dan. He's trained extremely hard to improve his game in a lot of areas technically. He's just a great kid and his work ethic is second to none."
However, the bread and butter of Maine's game is offense, led by the most potent line in the league: seniors Spencer Abbott (19 goals, 37 assists) and Brian Flynn (17 goals, 28 assists) and junior Joey Diamond (22 goals, 19 assists).
"They all skate well," said BC's York. "The difference in Flynn, Diamond and Abbott is that they really understand the game well. Their hockey IQ is outstanding."
Whitehead reserved special praise for Diamond. "Joey has really emerged as an elite player for us this season. He has been able to stay healthy this year after playing the entire season last year with a badly sprained ankle."
"The second thing is that he has stayed out of the penalty box," said Whitehead. "Over the last 22 games or so he has only had 12 minor penalties, so he has really done an excellent job at handling that side of the game and controlling his emotions. He is still playing hard and playing with a great edge."
Dennehy knows exactly what his team is up against. "They are an offensive juggernaut and you need to be aware of them on the ice," he said of the Abbott line. "You have to be very respectful and make sure you get on the right side of the puck."
"With that said we have had some success forcing them to defend," said Dennehy. "Offensive players don't like to play defense and they are used to being in the other team's zone and they have had a lot of success doing that. The further away from your net the puck is when they are on the ice, the better off you are. But that's a lot easier said than done."
Dennehy counters with a battle-tested squad. Five of the team's top-six scorers are seniors, led by Ryan Flanigan (10 goals, 18 assists) and Jesse Todd (12 goals, 14 assists), and Dennehy said that leadership is chiefly responsible for the Warriors' success on the road this year.
"A big part of it is having a good veteran core," he said. "We have plenty of seniors that have been through a lot of tough games and they understand that it is all about what is going on between the glass. Whether you have to drive up to Orono to play this game or if it was in Timbuktu, the only thing that really matters is what is happening between the glass. Our team has that ability to hone in on that."
Starting Friday, they'll have to.
