Core i5 3570K processor review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
And there you have it the full Core i5 3570K review way beyond the initial release, a standalone review this time and if one thing has become clear, these are great processors for the gaming community.
Tweaking and performance
The tweaking potential as history has learned us is good but not great all due the the Intel Heat Spreader. Ivy bridge processors as such overheat quite fast once you pass 1.30 Volts on the processor. We took the 3570K towards 4700 MHz but don't be surprised if you get stuck at 4500 MHz as we already needed 1.375 Volts to make this happen. And the only way to keep that processor stable at these frequencies was to use some sort of extravagant cooling. In our case a liquid cooling kit from NZXT.
Ivy Bridge was the next logical step for Intel to make in terms of their Tick-Tock model. The Tick here is to further improve on the existing architecture, yet on a smaller fabrication process -- the 22nm transition has been completed. Now we have to wait for Haswell later this year.
Despite the heat issues that Ivy bridge has when you increase Voltages, we do have to say that the ease with K model 3570 and 3770 processors is impressive. You'll reach +4.5 GHz real fast. Be advised though, get good cooling to achieve and maintain acceptable temperatures. We noticed that once you pass 1.30 Volts on the processor, heat becomes an issue real fast. The overclocks themselves are definitely real fun though.
Combined with a 77 Watt power draw and lower voltage requirement when overclocking might push you over to the other side. But clock for clock performance, really things are not at all different. If you are coming from much slower processors and are in need of an upgrade then I can recommend Ivy Bridge very much.
My personal favorite will remain that 8-threaded Core i7 3770K for obvious reasons, the Core i5 3570K however I like very much. The processor has all the variables right, despite the fact we had been hoping for a notch more baseline performance.
What about the IGP
Quite honestly, for gaming, you are still looking at little performance for any serious stuff. Flick down and forfeit on image quality and resolution, and things will get better fast. As huge as the overall performance improvement over the last generation IGPs really is, it remains entry-level for gaming. But for mobile platforms the embedded GPU will be quite good.
We also need to separate gaming from the graphics core, realize that it is a multipurpose graphics processor. You'll have no issues with Blu-ray playback, heck it can even deal with 3D TV, post-process your media files and help out with video en/trans and decoding. The GPU is compatible with HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.2 next to the regular DSUB and DVI connectors of course. But overall, we really like the embedded GPU for what it is and does, we like to call it a video or media processor though.
The enhanced AVX extension; I did not expect it to perform this well. You have two requirements before you can use the AVX extension on the processor. Make sure your Windows 7 is up-to snuff with the SP1 (required).
Let's talk money
A 3570K will cost you 200 EUR say 220 USD, and that is why this processor has become amongst the most popular processors currently. The L3 cache is only a hint smaller at 6MB and the default clocks are only 200 MHz lower than the 3770K. You do forfeit on hyper-threading though and that showed quite a bit in the synthetics tests. But it's 100 bucks cheaper opposed to that 3770K and gaming wise we doubt you'd ever notice a difference.
Power consumption
The Intel reference board with a Sandy Bridge processor WITHOUT a graphics card idles at roughly 50 Watts. Once we stress the processor 100% on that platform we leveled out at 110~120 Watts. So Ivy Bridge and its chipset are energy friendly, realistically though they are not at all far off from Sandy Bridge. Once you add a dedicated graphics card the dynamic changes of course. Remember, after a BIOS update Ivy Bridge can work fine in your series 6 chipset motherboard as well. Heck, it even works vice versa, a Z77 motherboard will support a Core i7 2700K just as well.
Final Words
We stated it in the past already, looking at Ivy Bridge in its baseline processor performance we had hoped for a little more over the previous generation. However, the TDP, overclockability, increased IGP performance and then the platform features increase with USB 3.0 and PCIe Gen 3.0 makes the overall infrastructure much more interesting than the previous generation. Since the Core i7 3770K remains pricey the Core i5 3570K is the next best thing to be honest, for any performance enthusiast gamer in the desktop PC platform we can wholeheartedly recommend these processors in combo with a nice Z77 motherboard.

Today we test and review Sandy Bridge, the Intel Core i7-2600K and Intel Core i5-2500K processors. We will pair the 2600K processor with the Intel Desktop Motherboard DP67BG and also run a test with the Intel Core i5-2500K processor on a Intel DH67BL motherboard
Core i5 655K and Core i7 875K processor review
Intel today releases two new processors targeted at a somewhat more enthusiast audience. Yes, processors for tweakers and overclockers. On socket LGA 1156 Intel now releases two K series processors. The 32nm Intel Core i5-655K processor has the very same specifications as the Core i5 650; it will operate at 3.2 GHz, will feature two cores with Hyper-Threading technology, sport 4MB of L3 cache and will be made using 32nm process technology. The difference between the 650 and 655K is the unlocked multiplier only. Then we have the enthusiast class Intel Core i7-875K processor, it has the very same specifications as the Core i7 870; it will operate at 2.93GHz, will feature four cores with Hyper-Threading technology, sport 8MB of L3 cache and will be made using 45nm process technology. The only difference between the two central processing units (CPUs) will be the unlocked multiplier on the 875K chip, which will allow overclockers and enthusiasts to easily boost clock-speed of the product without the necessity of overclocking other parts of their systems.

City Report Blasts D.C. Fire/EMS Personnel for Resident's Death
Barrington M. Salmon | 2/22/2014, 12:29 p.m.
The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety released a blistering report Friday detailing the multiple failings of D.C. firefighters at a Rhode Island Avenue station and dispatchers that resulted in the death of an elderly resident.
A fire crew at Engine House 26 and individuals attached to the dispatch unit — nine employees in all — faces a disciplinary panel and sanctions because of their actions on Jan. 25, according to the findings of the 13-page report.
On that afternoon, 77-year-old Medric Cecil Mills Jr., collapsed after suffering a heart attack at Brentwood Shopping Center, directly across the street from Engine 26 in Northeast. Despite repeated attempts by family members and bystanders to get someone from the fire station to assist, none of the five fire personnel responded.
Mills subsequently died at the Washington Hospital Center.
According to Deputy Mayor Paul Quander Jr. in the report, there were "substantial lapses in judgment and the failure to adhere to established policy and procedures."
The report offered a timeline of poor, judgment, missteps and errors that resulted in Mills' death.
Quander recommends several remedies to ensure that this type of incident doesn't recur.
The report says that Lt. Kellene L. Davis, the officer in charge, failed to respond to two requests to come to the watch desk because of an urgent matter. A firefighter on probation was told to get an address, which he did. But ultimately none of the five individuals at the station house went across the street to provide medical care to Mills.
The report says Davis didn't enter into a log that bystanders sought help and she also failed to notify the battalion fire chief of the incident.
Davis, a 30-year veteran and the ranking officer at the station, has been placed on administrative leave with pay.
Additionally, neither the 911 call taker, the lead fire dispatcher, nor two EMS radio operators noticed that the address was incorrect, sending the responding ambulance to the wrong quadrant.
One person has already been charged and is scheduled to appear before the trial board on March 4. The D.C. Office of the Attorney General will represent the agency in this matter. Charges against the other members are pending.
Four employees of the Office of Unified Communications have been recommended for disciplinary action. The employees in question will have the opportunity to respond to the charges against them. D.C. Personnel Rules and applicable laws mandate that discipline must be progressive in nature. The employees' prior work and disciplinary history must be taken into account when recommending disciplinary sanctions. The recommendation, along with the employee's response, is then provided to an impartial decision maker within the agency. Therefore, the supervisor and subordinates are facing the same disciplinary process under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.
The probationary employee is subject to normal disciplinary rules for DC probationary employees.
The fire department's trial board, consisting of two battalion fire chiefs and two captains, will hear the evidence, issue findings of fact, determine guilt or innocence of the employee, and make a penalty recommendation to the fire chief, ranging from reprimand to termination.

Love and Rockets
That day has come after a long, stop-and-go history. Brothers Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto Maserati founded Maserati in Bologna in 1914. Looking for ways to improve the reliability of engines, Alfieri invented a new spark plug that used mica as insulation. Many innovations followed, from the way the brothers constructed the rear ends of their racecars to adapt to different tracks, to their 16-cylinder racing engine, to the famous "Birdcage" design—200 steel tubes welded together, which made for a chassis that was extremely rigid yet light.
Sales from the spark plug provided revenue as the brothers modified and repaired racecars before eventually building one of their own in 1926. Called the Tipo 26, it won the first race it entered. From there, Maserati forged a racing legacy that still resonates today, with its first world record in 1929 and dominance in the golden age of auto racing in Europe. Driving a Maserati, Wilbur Shaw won the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940, and Maserati grabbed the F/1 championship in 1954 and 1957, with Juan Manuel Fangio, one of the all-time great drivers, behind the wheel.
The company started selling road cars in 1947, and it focused on that end of the business completely after it pulled out of racing in 1957. But while Maserati took its cars out of the race, it did not take the race out of its cars. Enthusiasts say the company's devotion to racing can be seen—and felt and heard—in every corner taken faster than drivers think they should. Magnon's 1975 Khamsin, for example, remains a joy to drive nearly 40 years after it was made because Maserati learned from its racecars to put the engine tight against the firewall to achieve the proper balance between raw power and delicate control.
Geoff Sanderson, a Maserati collector in Tennessee, sees a direct line from the ingenuity that propelled Maseratis to victory to the engineering that makes it possible for his 17-foot-long Quattroporte to perform like a sports car with the comfort of a sedan on Tail of the Dragon, an 11-mile stretch of highway at the Tennessee and North Carolina border with 318 curves. "Muscle cars have always been stoplight-to-stoplight, drag strip–type things," he says. "But life is not a straight line."
The Maserati brothers sold the company in 1937 to Adolfo and Omar Orsi, and it has changed hands several times since then. The company endured a down period from the mid-1970s until the early 1990s, and Maserati abandoned the American market from 1989 to 2001. But Maserati, now owned by Fiat, has emerged to face its next 100 years as healthy as it has ever been.
The company rolled out the Quattroporte VI to favorable reviews last year and plans to start selling its first SUV next year. Drew Alcazar, CEO of Russo and Steele Collector Automobile Auctions, says strong new releases bring attention to vintage models, "illuminating things they've done in the past." Maserati expects to sell 35,000 cars this year and is aiming for 75,000 by 2018—figures unthinkable just a few years ago. Still, that is a small number relative to most marques, and Maserati will never be a mass-production machine.

In a recent article, I predicted the South Carolina Gamecocks to go 12-0 in 2013. As expected, shouts of delusion and "homerism" came in to play.
That's OK. I'm OK with the fact that you use history as an indicator for the present and can't see the forest through the trees.
For those who have followed my writing over the years, they know that I'm pretty even keeled when it comes to predicting the Gamecocks. This year, however, there are many reasons to honestly believe that 12-0 isn't some wildly fantastical dream.
Yes, it will be difficult. Yes, the percentages are not in the Gamecocks' favor. Injuries and insane situations can occur at any moment changing the course of the season. A dream season can turn into a nightmare quickly. Just ask Southern Cal last year.
But with all that said... it can still happen.
Here's why.

The Australian sharemarket reversed from the top of its trading range as bullish global equity market sentiment faded ahead of the US earnings season and concerns mounted over the sharp slowdown in Europe.
Following the 0.7 per cent drop on the US S&P 500 index last night the S&P/ASX 200 index fell 58.4 points, or 1.06 per cent, to 5452.5 as investors booked profits on stocks trading on stretched valuations.
European markets have been on the back-foot since last week, but three doses of weak German data, news US authorities planned to two sue two German banks and mounting pressure ahead of European Central Bank stress tests sparked average losses of 1.5 per cent last night.
The Australian dollar was little changed at US94¢ but government 10-year bonds fell 3.8 points to 3.535 per cent following the 6 point slump in US 10-years to 2.53 per cent.
"There were no shock news items, economic events or central bank speak that caused the moves," Westpac strategist Graeme Jarvis said.
The move was consistently lower was traders focused on "more concrete" fundamentals that suggested "something more substantial" may be developing in bond, equity and credit markets he said.
The Shanghai composite index was off 0.6 per cent at the ASX after a slip in consumer inflation to 2.2 per cent and a slight improvement in producer inflation to minus 1.2 that suggested the country remained in the grip of deflationary forces.
In Tokyo the Nikkei index slipped 0.2 per cent.
After fining French bank BNP Paribas $US9 billion for breaching US sanctions on Iran and other rogue states US prosecutors signalled they have turned their sights on Germany's Commerzbank, the country's second biggest bank, and the fear is Deutsche Bank could face a hefty settlement fine too.
The region's banks also face ECB financial stress tests around October, forcing many to clean up their balance sheets and take write-downs on badly performing loan portfolios.
Dalian iron ore futures dropped 0.6 per cent, offsetting a similar increase in the spot price to $US96.50¢ a tonne yesterday. Copper rose 0.2 per cent to $US7120 a tonne and gold rose $US7 to $US1323 an ounce.
All sectors fell other than gold with some of the biggest drops in defensive and high yielding stocks.
IG market strategist Evan Lucas said he thought that reflected concerns expressed in the US overnight that prices earnings ratios had ballooned out with markets at record highs and a pullback was likely.
"It is an interesting thing where the hammering is coming from with the big end: banks and defensive stocks taking a battering," he told AAP.
"Are our share prices therefore overvalued ... that was the theme last night and what we are seeing considering what stocks are under pressure."
The major banks finished lower, with ANZ down 41 cents to $33.18, while National Australia Bank dropped 32 cents to $33.27, Westpac lost 37 cents to $33.85 and Commonwealth Bank fell 53 cents to $80.79.
Telstra was down three cents to $5.29 and the supermarket owners fell, with Wesfarmers 39 cents lower to $42.63 and Woolworths giving up 42 cents to $35.89.
Making news, education provider Navitas was the loser of the day, down $2.18, or 31 per cent, to $4.86 after losing a major Macquarie University contract.
Shares in Westfield shopping centre empire spin-off Scentre Group gained after it raised more than $3 billion in what is thought to be one of the biggest non-bank bond raisings by an Australian company in Europe.
Shares in Scentre Group were one cent higher at $3.21.
The broader All Ordinaries index was down 56.3 points, or 1.02 per cent, at 5442.2.
The September share price index futures contract was 58 points lower at 5414 with 30,692 contracts traded.

'Black Swan' Review: 'Two Jews On Film' Have A Happy Halloween With 'Masterpiece' 'Black Swan' (Video)
'Black Swan' directed by Darren Aronofsky, simply put, is a masterpiece. Natalie Portman, in the performance of her career. Portman portrays Nina, a beautiful, fragile ballerina with The New York City Ballet. Like all great artists, Nina is obsessed with perfection. When she gets the chance to to dance the lead in a new ballet created by the artistic director, the wonderful Vincent Cassel, this obsession takes her and the audience on a journey into a dark, nightmarish world. Aronofsky has cast this film perfectly. Barbara Hershey portrays Nina's controlling, suffocating mother, Mila Kunis is the young ballerina waiting for Nina to fail and Winona Ryder, in a great comeback role, is aging prima ballerina, Beth who Nina has replaced. You don't have to love ballet, to love this film. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. 'Black Swan' will certainly be on the top of the list when Oscar season heats up. Opens in theaters, December 3, 2010.

Review: '3D Sanctum' 'Two Jews On Film' Think This Underwater Thriller Should Be Seen Not Heard (Video)
'Sanctum' directed by Alister Grierson is loosely based on true events. The film tells the story of Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) a tough, take no prisoners, master diver intent on being the first person to explore the Esa-Ala cave system in the South Pacific.
Shortly after Frank descends into the caves, along with a team that includes his 17 year old neglected son Josh, (Rhys Wakefield) who spends most of the film complaining to his dad that he was a lousy father, the expedition's obnoxious bankroller Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd) his annoying girlfriend, Victoria (Alice Parkinson) and several others, a flash flood seals off the cave exit trapping everyone. The explorers must now find an alternate way out.
Frank tells them that their only hope of survival is to plunge deeper into the cave system...venturing where no one has ever gone before. Okay, so that's basically the premise. And it's an exciting one. The problem lies with the script. It's filled with wooden, expository dialogue. What were the writers (John Garvin and Andrew Wight) thinking? And why didn't any one stop them. Unfortunately the acting performances aren't much better.
This is definitely a film that should be seen...not heard. 'Sanctum' is a very thrilling, terrifying edge of your seat experience. And for that reason...'The Two Jews On Film' recommend it. Thanks to Jules O'Laughlin's 3D camera (the same one used to shoot Avatar) the great production design, and underwater photography, you can't help but feel as if you are one of those divers fighting for your life inside those deep vast underwater caverns. Just put your hands over your ears when the characters start to speak. 'Sanctum' opens in theaters, Friday, February 4, 2011.

When Laurel Lautensack was planning her new Clintonville store Fernbird, her mind kept going back to something her parents always told her.
"My parents really taught me to be the change you want to see," Lautensack said. "You cannot complain unless you're doing something actively."
Lautensack will donate around 10 percent of every sale made at the shop to organizations that work to stop human sex trafficking in Central Ohio.
"It just seems like the right thing to do," said Lautensack, a 26-year-old New York native.
Fernbird carries women's clothing, accessories, art and decor. Lautensack selects many of the items at the store because of their thoughtful backstories — jewelry made in America, all-natural cleaning products, art made by recovering addicts.
The most expensive item in the store is a $595 custom Drexel hutch cabinet. The most expensive clothing item is a $45 jacket.
Speaking of clothing, "Fernbird loves dresses," Lautensack said. The store carries several of the same designers as ModCloth.com; average price, $30 to $34 each.
Shoes, such as mint and coral flats by Wanted, are on their way to the store this month.
Fernbird is in part of the space that used to be Central City Recording, next door to Virtue Vegan Salon. Lautensack and her staff make most of the three-room shop's quirky decor. Part of that design includes a chalkboard behind the checkout counter where Lautensack writes a question each month to be answered by her customers.
February's query: "What would your super power be?"
"To live forever," Lautensack said, laughing.
She's more realistic about the power she hopes her business can hold.
"I hope we do a good enough of a job," Lautensack said, "that we can help women."

Project ID: 2003KS32B
Title: High Plains Aquifer Information Network (HIPLAIN)
Project Type: Education
Focus Categories: Education, Water Quality
Keywords: World Wide Web, database access, High Plains Aquifer, water resources
Start Date: 03/01/2003
End Date: 02/28/2004
Federal Funds: $20000.00
Matching Funds: $40672.00
Congressional District: 2nd District
Principal Investigators: Townsend, Margaret A. (Kansas Geological Survey); Clark, Gary; Young, David P. (Kansas Geological Survey, University of Kansas)
Abstract: Current issues
and developments surrounding the High Plains aquifer necessitate that data
and information be made readily available to state agencies, GMDs, researchers,
modelers, water users, and the general public. This includes information related
to hydrogeologic conditions, water rights, water use, agriculture, socio-economics,
energy, environmental issues, and interested agencies. Support for this web-based
information dissemination is explicitly expressed in both the FY04 Kansas
Water Plan (July 2002) (http://www.kwo.org/KWP/2004_kwp.htm; p. 28, Water
Management section) and the Ogallala Aquifer Technical and Management Advisory
Committee report (http://www.kwo.org/Reports/ogallala_mgt__rpt_.htm; p. 14,
Appendix A).To provide this service, a broad, collaborative water information
network is necessary. The HIPLAIN project is dedicated to providing this service:
working with other agencies, organizations, and individuals to provide a complete
set of information, references, links, maps, data, and data-analysis tools
related to the High Plains aquifer.
In Year 1, HIPLAIN developers created a web-site framework with information related to the High Plains aquifer in Kansas. Year 1 focused primarily on site design and locating and providing links to existing sources of information. See developmental site at http://www.hiplain.org/.
In Year 2, HIPLAIN will expand and improve the site, incorporating reviews and input from users. Anticipated additions and embellishments include:
· improved internal search engine;
· hydrogeologic glossary;
· additional literature search capabilities;
· an Ogallala Aquifer Institute (OAI) web site;
· additional links to the High Plains Aquifer Coalition (HPAC) and the other seven states that use the High Plains aquifer (in close coordination with the Ogallala Aquifer Institute);
· access to the most up-to-date and newly developed database front ends and data-analysis tools;
· index of URLs cited;
· continued search and posting of relevant links;
· procedures for future data and information dissemination through coordination with the OAI, Groundwater Management Districts (GMDs) and other educational and governmental groups;
· legal issues concerning water rights, enforcement, and water-management programs.
After Year 2 funding, the Kansas Geological Survey will oversee the continued maintenance of the site (see attached Letter of Commitment).

Content may be king in social media, but based on some of the posts that pop up in my news feed, a lot of brands are dressing their king in some weird-looking clothes. All too often, brands are failing to match the tone of their messages to the social network in which they're participating.
You know how it feels when you're not dressed properly for an occasion? It's awkward, you're out of place, and everyone looks at you like you don't belong. Whether you're the guy wearing loafers at a rock concert or a grungy T-shirt at a golf club, your clothes say something about you and how comfortable you are in this situation.
It's the same way when brands march into the social media world expecting to engage with fans. Most people use social media to stay in touch with friends — and maybe read something funny — not to hear about your latest corporate announcement. As a brand, your status update is sitting right in between my crazy aunt's cat photo and my college roommate's witty political rant, and to be effective (and stay on my feed) it needs to fit in as much as possible.
Like our friend at the concert (who might pick up some Chucks before the next show), your brand's page needs to develop a voice and a tone that feels natural to the social media environment you're using. That means if you've got messaging running across all platforms, your Facebook status needs to be different from your LinkedIn discussion, which in turn needs to be different from your tweet. To all of you who automatically feed your tweets onto your Facebook page: stop it. They're not the same, and what makes something good on Twitter does not make it good on Facebook.
If you're on Facebook, keep it casual and show me something pretty, like a photo or an infographic. If you're on Twitter, make it as short as humanly possible and use appropriate handles and hashtags so I notice you. LinkedIn discussions should be professional and stimulating. Every social network has its own flavor and its own lingo, and if you decide to enter that space, your corporate voice needs to match.
This is one of the reasons why PR agencies are a great choice for handling multiple social media networks. Every day, we're writing in the voices of numerous clients and adapting each one to the media outlet we're pitching. Taking a message and making it work for social media is natural — and one of my favorite parts of the job.
When handled well, social media gives brands a unique opportunity to connect with their audience and develop deeper affinity and loyalty. It's like when you see a business acquaintance outside of work. If he or she comes across as a normal, cool person, you're more likely to connect at the office as well. Brands that wear the right clothes and use the right tone of voice on social media will see the benefits in their bottom line.

Perfect comparison from Chris. Never try to pull off clothes that don't fit the situation, it just makes you stick out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way.

Investigators have concluded the death of a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student who fell in a limestone quarry this summer was accidental.
The body of 21-year-old Benjamin Fuder was found July 29 in the Whitewater Limestone Quarry in the Town of Whitewater. Fuder had been reported missing the night before after being last seen in downtown Whitewater.
The Walworth County Coroner's Office ruled that Fuder fell from the rim to the floor of the quarry and that his death was an accident. He died of a head injury.
"The cause of death was due to traumatic head trauma along with significant other conditions, which were the presence of ethanol, cannabinoids and psilocin," according to a Walworth County Sheriff's Office news release.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that it found no evidence of any criminal behavior and that it agrees with the coroner's office that the manner of death was accidental.
Fuder's body isn't the only one found at Whitewater Limestone Quarry. Another dead UW-Whitewater student was discovered in May 2011 at that Franklin Street facility, which is just outside the Whitewater city limits.

Reiki (pronounced raykey) is a form of "energy healing," essentially the Asian version of faith healing or laying on of hands. Practitioners believe they are transferring life energy to the patient, increasing their well-being. The practice is popular among nurses, and in fact is practiced by nurses at my own institution (Yale).
From reiki.org, we get this description:
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki is therefore a form of vitalism – the pre-scientific belief that some spiritual energy animates the living, and is what separates living things from non-living things. The notion of vitalism was always an intellectual place-holder, responsible for whatever aspects of biology were not currently understood. But as science progressed, eventually we figured out all of the basic functions of life and there was simply nothing left for the vital force to do. It therefore faded from scientific thinking. We can add to that the fact that no one has been able to provide positive evidence for the existence of a vital force – it remains entirely unknown to science.

Visual.ly Sees Search Referral Share
Image from: Venture Beat
Infographics are all the rage right now and as we continue to do more things online we are surrounded by data. Visual.ly is a site that lets you create your own infographics and tell a story about that data.
Compete.com shows that Visual.ly has seen an incline of visitors since the site was created, but with more than 200K visitors in November, the site hasn't seen that much traffic since.
Looking further at Compete.com we can see that when searching the keyword "infographics" Visual.ly shows up with more than 50% of the search referral share.
As far as infographics go, I have really liked using the site and having a resource to create and find infographics. Have you ever used Visual.ly before? What did you think of the site?

Some creativity advice involves "getting in touch with your inner child." It's the idea is that children are more creative than adults. Is this true?
Ellen Winner reports in her book Invented Worlds that before preschool years, children are quite creative with similies. They might say something like "quiet as a magic marker." But after the preschool years, they start using conventional similies, such as "quiet as a mouse." Interestingly, this is when school starts, and when kids start getting interested in social rules, both ones they create (in games with other children) as well as as the rules of the adult world. Middle childhood is characterized by a fierce conventionalism—they might object to a female wearing male clothing even more than an adult would. It's only with age that they loosen up about rules and see nuance.
Early childhood is when we see the most creative "pretend play," in which children actively create their own imaginary worlds. These games, if you even want to call them that, can involve other people in a shared imagined experience, but are often non-competitive. After age five, though, they start getting interested in games with rules, and you'll see them argue about the rules and who is or is not following them.
If you're getting in touch with your inner child, make sure your inner child is young enough.

By Clarence Plank: PNT staff writer
An Eastern New Mexico University freshman class teamed up this month with students from several local schools to raise almost $1,800 for the Jump Rope for Heart Foundation.
The Freshman Seminar class and local schools competed in raising money for the Jump Rope for Heart Foundation with Jump for Change. Lindsey Elementary School, Brown Early Childhood Center and Steiner and Valencia elementary schools participated.
The competition began March 5 and ended last Thursday. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade took part.
As a reward, the students receive a pizza party.
Freshmen Seminar and English instructor Robin Casady said this was a community service project.
"It is a two-part project with the class getting the grade-schoolers involved by contributing change," Casady said. "The other part is giving the money to Jump Rope for Heart. Last year we gave food, so this is something different and getting the grade schools involved too."
Lindsey's sixth-graders raised $157, and Valencia had $727. Steiner brought in $50 in change, and the students from Brown raised $826.
Freshman Seminar student Zandi Queener said the grade-school students were excited about taking the challenge and helping with Jump for Change. Queener was the representative for Lindsey.
James Elementary School did not participate because the students had just finished another fundraiser and the faculty did not want to overwhelm them.
"We're giving two pizza parties at Brown because there was only 60 cents difference between the two classes," Casady said.
Freshman Allen Valdez, Valencia representative, said the students were really into raising the money and the idea of a pizza party.
"It was a fun thing to do, and I enjoyed working with the children," Valdez said.
Jump Rope for Heart Foundation was started to fight childhood obesity by raising awareness, improving nutrition and increasing physical activity, according to the National Heart Foundation Web site.

Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) on Tuesday became the first major computer manufacturer to ban the export of non-working electronics to developing countries as part of its global policy on responsible electronics disposal.
Dell's electronics disposition policy now exceeds the requirements of the Basel Convention, which bans the export of certain electronic waste based on its material or chemical composition.
By expanding its definition of electronic waste to include all non-working parts or devices, irrespective of material composition, Dell aims to help prevent the unauthorized dumping of electronic waste in developing countries by requiring that equipment be tested and certified as "working" prior to export.
Environmentalists and consumer groups applauded the new policy, calling it the "highest standard in the industry."
"Dell's export policy sets the standard for others in the industry and should serve as the model for long overdue federal policy on e-waste export," said Barbara Kyle, Electronics TakeBack Coalition National Coordinator. "Unless a company has a strict program to prevent it, there is a high probability that their recycling vendors are exporting the e-waste they handle. Dell's policy goes beyond its competitors, some of whom are still exporting non-working products to developing countries."
Dell's policy also states that every reasonable effort will be made to control all electronic wastes and prevent it from entering landfills or incinerators.
Dell said electronic waste processed by its disposition chain is tracked and documented throughout the entire chain of custody until final disposition, and that Dell will audit its recycling, refurbishment and processing vendors at least annually to ensure they conform with Dell's policy and environmental performance standards.
Tod Arbogast, director of sustainable business at Dell. said: "As one of the world's leading providers of technology, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that technology is disposed of properly at the end of its usable life. We strongly encourage the rest of the industry to do the same using globally consistent practices like these."

Skip to comments.*** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD ***
Posted on 03/25/2005 8:16:07 AM PST by TheBigB
Woo Hooooo! TGIF and Happy Easter everyone!! Time for another FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD! As always, feel free to post jokes, silly pics, nonsensical statements, or even to IGNORE THIS THREAD!
"Happy Easter!"
"Arrrgh, silliness!"
"Ahhh, Friday!"
And it's my birthday!!!
Ping! C'mon over! :^)
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Hey, Happy Birthday!
Many Happy Returns.
THIS SIGN IS POSTED AT A GOLF CLUB in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Happy Birthday.
I am bored out of my mind. This schiavo mess and its coverage is saddening. I need a boost. Somebody make me laugh!!!
Here's the best news of all: Not only is it Easter, but my socialist managing editor is leaving!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Happy Birthday! Now, what would you prefer for a present, the Easter Bunny or a massage from a cat?
Nice bunny.
First picture is interesting.
Anna Nicole Smith. I'm still not sure if she even knew what she was wearing. Or where she was. Or even who she was. :^)
I can't tell you HOW RELIEVED I AM TO GET THIS FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD.
Am I the only one who is sick with the morbidity of the last week? I need relief.
I know how you feel. Yesterday I vowed to laugh, just to break the monotony. Well at the end of the day, I found some funny things to joke about.
I fear that the end is close for Terri. Judge Greer has won. So I again vow to laugh today. So I am going to be looking for the jokes with you.
Oh, a cat massage without question. I get my new little pixie bob/lynx next week.
Thanks for the thread!
UH??? Who cares?
Happy Birthday... I won't ask you age either....
Happy Birthday, mine was yesterday!
So this lovely young co-ed goes to the doctor for a checkup. After she gets undressed, the doc notices the outline of a large "M" across her torso.
Dr.: "What is that?"
Co-ed: *giggling* "Oh, my boyfriend goes to the University of Michigan. Whenever we make love he likes to keep his varsity jacket on."
Satisfied, the doc lets it go. The next day, another comely young co-ed comes in and gets undressed. He sees another "M" across her front.
Dr: *chuckling* "I'll bet your boyfriend goes to Michigan, right?"
Co-ed: "No, but my girlfriend goes to Wisconsin."
Anger Management!
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know.
I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answered, saying, "Hello"
I politely said, "This is Andrew. Could I please speak with Robin Carter?"
Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.
I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number.
After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.
When the same guy answered the phone,I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up.
I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer.
Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!"
It always cheered me up.
When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling would have to stop.So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the Caller ID program?"
He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down.
I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"
One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window ....so, I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole, (I had his number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW asshole, too.
I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?" "Yes, it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front."
"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Don Hansen," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home every evening after five."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
"Don, you're an asshole."
Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call.
But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1.
"You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Stop calling me," he screamed.
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Don Hansen."
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front."
He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole."
Then I called Asshole #2.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hello, asshole," I said.
He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are?"
"You'll what?" I said.
"I'll kick your ass," he exclaimed.
I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."
Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at
1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.
Then I called Channel 13 News about the gang war going down on West 34th Street.
I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street.
There I saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew.
NOW, I feel better
I got this in my e-mail this morning. I wasn't going to post it, since a google search on it yields a million hits and I figured everybody but me must have already seen it. But since you asked for silliness, here it is:
Mine was sunday the 13th. The big 2-6.
Hippy Barthday!
Hoppy Bathday!
Oh ... nevermind.
Many Happy Returns!
Happy Birthday!
Same here.. I think we all need to calm down and take a chill pill.
Did you ever celebrate your birthday on Easter? I did, when I was five. Now you can go figure out how old I am. LOL.
Thanks I needed that.
Three men die on the same day and find themselves outside the Pearly Gates. St. Peter meets them and explains that Heaven is getting a bit crowded so they've instituted a test to gain admittance to Paradise. He looks at the first guy and asks, "What is Easter?"
"Easter," the guy says, "That's the holiday when the family gets together and cooks a big turkey dinner. Everybody sits around eating and watching football. That's Easter."
"Sorry," says St. Pete, "You're wrong. You go to Hell." He turns the the next man and repeats the question.
"Easter," the man says. "That's when everybody gets together and decorate the tree, buys presents, sings carols, and enjoys the Easter holiday season. That's Easter."
"Sorry," says St. Pete, "You're wrong. You go to Hell." He turns the the last man and repeats the question.
"Easter," the man says. "On Good Friday, Jesus was crucified on the cross, died and was buried. Three days later he rose from the dead, left the tomb, saw his shadow, and there were six more weeks...
Actually I did too. But I can't remember if it has happened since mine. I'm guessing 50-something?

Hello, what is your take on the interchangeable needle sets? I'm finding myself contantly running to the store for different size circulars and dp's. I've been reading reviews on the sets and am just a little leary about investing in them if problems arise. I was reading about the Addi Click. Anyone have them? Can I purchase the Addi individually? I like making hats and find the 16" circ. needles my most used ones. Love love love dp's also. Thank you so much for any input before I take the plunge. I may have to take my birthday money and keep saving up as the sets are pretty pricey. I figure it's so worth saving for because knitting keeps me sane!!!
Here's a link to an earlier discussion of interchangeables that may help with various kinds of needles.
Salmonmac's link is a good thread to peruse when looking at buying interchangeables. We all have our druthers when it comes to needles.I've never used Addi's, but I hear they're great. I'm a firm believer in the old saying 'measure twice, cut once.' To that end, I loved Knit Picks Try-It set, 3 sets of common size tips, one wood, one metal, one plastic - all interchangeable, cable set included. An inexpensive way to begin to figure out what you want to spend your money on, at least where tips are concerned.
As with all things, your mileage may vary... enjoy the search.
I have Knitpicks Options in the nickel and love them.
Yes, you can purchase Addi circulars separately, but I don't know about the clicks. They are pretty expensive in the set, but it would be even more so in the singles overall.
My Knitpicks Harmony Wood interchangeables were the best investment I ever made. When you think about straights, double points, and fixed circulars in the various sizes, you can easily spend hundreds of dollars. The Knitpicks set was a bargain. And I love the sharp points. Bind offs, k2tog's, and cabling is so much easier.

Mapping and Planning Efforts Expanded for the Full Five Year Program
Tue, Sep 28th, 2010
Posted in State of Minnesota
Posted in State of Minnesota
St. Paul, MN - The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has awarded Connect Minnesota approximately $2.7 million, under the State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program (SBDD), to further implement broadband initiatives over the original five-year award period.
The additional Recovery Act funding will allow mapping efforts under the SBDD program to continue for three additional years, while the program also focuses on projects that relate to broadband planning activities, such as the identification of barriers to the adoption of broadband service and information technology services.
"This program will meet NTIA's intent for developing high-quality projects designed to gather granular data on broadband availability, technology, speed, and infrastructure across the state," according to Brian Mefford, CEO of Connected Nation, Connect Minnesota's parent organization. "Through this project Connect Minnesota will support the work of the 15 member Minnesota Broadband Advisory Task Force in carrying out its functions, including the production of its annual progress report benchmarking progress toward meeting Minnesota's 2015 broadband goals of a minimum of 10-20 MB to all residents and businesses."
Connect Minnesota will continue to engage in broadband data collection activities that will capture complete and up-to-date datasets from the state's broadband providers and will result in regularly-scheduled updates and further enhancements to the state's interactive broadband map.
Under the SBDD program, the Connect Minnesota initiative released its first iteration of the broadband map in May 2010, and this funding will allow the state to prioritize and track progress over a longer period of time. This data will populate the comprehensive, interactive, and searchable national broadband map that NTIA is required by the Recovery Act to create and make publicly available by February 17, 2011.
As the designated entity for broadband mapping in the North Star State, Connect Minnesota is a public-private partnership working to unite local governments, businesses, and citizens in the goal of increasing broadband service in the state's underserved areas.
To access a summary of the grant project please visit http://www2.ntia.doc.gov/grantee/connected-nation-minnesota.
About Connect Minnesota: As a public-private partnership, Connect Minnesota partners with technology-minded businesses, government entities and universities to accelerate technology in the state. The work of Connect Minnesota is made possible in part by support from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. For more information about what Connect Minnesota is doing to accelerate technology in Minnesota's communities, visit www.connectmn.org.
About Connected Nation: Connected Nation is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that expands access to and use of broadband Internet and the related technologies that are enabled when individuals and communities have the opportunity and desire to connect. Connected Nation effectively raises the awareness of the value of broadband and related technologies by developing coalitions of influencers and enablers for improving technology availability and use. Connected Nation works with consumers, community leaders, states, technology providers and foundations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to develop and implement technology expansion programs with core competencies centered around a mission to improve digital inclusion for people and places previously underserved or overlooked. www.connectednation.org.

"So, my kissed snowdrop, you took its white blossom
Tenderly into your hand,
Kissed it three times, wear it yet in your bosom—
I understand."
"For night is here, a dragon, to devour
The slow sweet hour
Filled with all smoke of incense, and the praise
More loud than day's
That swings its barren censer in the sky
And asks to die
Because the sea will hear no hollow moan
Beyond its own,
Because the sea that kissed dead Sappho sings
Of strange dark things —"
"Her eyes were keen and horrible and cold,
Her bronze loins girdled with the sacred gold;
Her lips were large, and from afar how sweet!
How fierce and purple for a kiss to hold!"
"IN middle music of Apollo's corn
She stood, the reaper, challenging a kiss;
The lips of her were fresher than the morn,
The perfume of her skin was ambergris;
The sun had kissed her body into brown;
Ripe breasts thrown forward to the summer breeze;
Warm tints of red lead fancy to the crown,
Her coils of chestnut, in abundant ease,
That bound the stately head. What joy of youth
Lifted her nostril to respire the wind?
What pride of being? What triumphal truth
Acclaimed her queen to her imperial mind?"
"So with meet words of gratitude the dame
That rules our lives withdrew, triumphant flame
Kindling in her bright eyes and sunwarmed hair,
Burning in dawny cheeks as the fresh air
Kissed, cleansing them from that infested den
Of obscene deities and apish men,
Rivalling their gods in petty filthiness."
"Over the desert ocean of distress
We reach pale eager hands that quiver and bleed
With life of these our hearts that surge and stress
In agony of the meditated deed.
For in the little coppice by the gate
Wherein I drew you shy and sly, and kissed
Your lips, your hushed 'I love you' smooth and straight
Sweeping to wrap us in the glittering mist
Of hell that holds us—even there I heard
The lacerating laugh of fate ring out,
The dog-faced god pronounce the mantic word,
And saw the avengers gather round about
Our love. The Moirae neither break nor bend;
The Erinyes hunt us to—no happy end."
"Few are thy sons, but as fierce as dawn,
Rapturous moments and weary days,
Nights when thine image a thousand ways
Is smitten and kissed on the fiery lawn
Where the wash of the waves of thy native bays
Laps weary limbs, that of thee have drawn
Laughter and fire for their souls in pawn."
