FIRE HAZARD: Chlordane is noncombustible [102],[421]. However, the technical grade material has a flash point of 56 C (133 F) [051]. Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher.
The autoignition temperature of technical grade material is 210 C (410 F) [051],[371].
REACTIVITY: Chlordane is incompatible with strong oxidizers [051],[102],[346]. It decomposes in weak alkalis [033],[062],[421],[430]. It is also decomposed by sodium in isopropyl alcohol [186]. It is corrosive to iron, zinc and various protective coatings [169] and it attacks some forms of plastics and rubber [102].
STABILITY: Chlordane is stable under normal laboratory conditions. Solutions of it in water, DMSO, 95% ethanol or acetone should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions [700].
USES: Chlordane is used as a non-systemic contact and stomach insecticide with some fumigant action. It is also used as an acaricide, a pesticide and a wood preservative. Chlordane is used in termite control and as a protective treatment for underground cables.
COMMENTS: The EPA has cancelled registrations of pesticides containing Chlordane with the exception of its use through subsurface ground insertion for termite control and the dipping of roots or tops of non-food plants [033].
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Chlordane may be toxic by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption [033],[062]. It is an irritant and may be absorbed through the skin [051],[102],[346],[371]. Effects at higher dosage levels may be cumulative [421]. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride gas, chlorine and phosgene [043],[051],[102],[371].
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure may include skin irritation, irritability, convulsions, deep depression and degenerative changes in the liver [033]. Tremors, excitement, ataxia, gastritis, central nervous system stimulation, respiratory failure, fatty degeneration and death may also occur [043]. Other symptoms may include nervousness, loss of coordination, blood dyscrasias and acute leukemia [395]. Exposure to this compound may lead to diplopia, blurring of vision, twitching of the extremities, nausea and vomiting [099]. Additional symptoms may include headache, dizziness and mild clonic jerking [406]. Symptoms may also include severe cough, dyserythropoiesis, eosinophilia, megaloblastosis, aplastic anemia, neuroblastoma, hyperexcitability of the central nervous system, hyperactive reflexes, muscle twitching, coma, anorexia, weight loss and severe gastroenteritis [151]. Exposure to this compound may also cause confusion, oliguria, proteinuria, hematuria, mild hypertension, albuminuria, paresthesia, unconsciousness, weakness, enteritis, diffuse pneumonia, lower nephron syndrome and lateral nystagmus [173]. Delirium, abdominal pain, diarrhea and anuria may also occur [102],[346]. Other symptoms may include scattered petechial hemorrhages in the lungs, kidneys and brain, damage to tubular cells of the kidneys, degenerative changes in hepatic cells and renal tubules, hyperexcitability, central nervous system depression, cognitive and emotional deterioration, impairment of memory and impairment of visual motor coordination [301]. Symptoms may also include giddiness, fatigue, pulmonary edema, liver, kidney and myocardial toxicity, hypothermia, accelerated respiration followed by depressed respiration, loss of appetite, muscular weakness and apprehensive mental state [295]. Symptoms may also include light headedness, tightness of the chest, arthralgias, sore throat, eye irritation, neurological symptoms and dry and red skin [051]. Shaking, staggering and mania may also occur [102]. Symptoms may also include gastrointestinal tract irritation [371].

EPA's IRIS is the world's most comprehensive toxicology database. Chemical entries often range from 20 to 50 pages of information. The information below represents a small selection of the data involving carcinogenicity in Section II of IRIS. Many of the technical terms are hyperlinked with explanations in Instant EPA's IRIS from which the following exerpts were taken but space limitations preclude that convenience here.
Classification -- B2; probable human carcinogen Basis -- Sufficient evidence in studies in which benign and malignant liver tumors were induced in four strains of mice of both sexes and in F344 male rats; structurally related to other liver carcinogens
Inadequate. There were 11 case reports involving central nervous system effects, blood dyscrasias and neuroblastomas in children with pre-/postnatal exposure to chlordane and heptachlor (Infante et al., 1978). As no other information was available, no conclusions can be drawn.
There were three epidemiologic studies of workers exposed to chlordane and/or heptachlor. One study of pesticide applicators was considered inadequate in sample size and duration of follow-up. This study showed marginal statistically significant increased mortality from bladder cancer (3 observed) (Wang and McMahon, 1979a). The other two studies were of pesticide manufacturing workers. Neither of them showed any statistically significantly increased cancer mortality (Wang and McMahon, 1979b; Ditraglia et al., 1981). Both these populations also had confounding exposures from other chemicals.
Sufficient. Chlordane has been studied in four mouse and four rat longterm carcinogenesis bioassays. Dose-related incidences of liver carcinoma constitute the major finding in mice. Becker and Sell (1979) tested chlordane (90:10 mixture of chlordane to heptachlor) in C57B1/6N mice, a strain historically known not to develop spontaneous liver tumors. An unspecified number of mice were fed chlordane at 0, 25 and 50 ppm (0, 3.57, 7.14 mg/kg bw) for 18 months. None of the controls developed tumors or nodular lesions of the liver. Twenty-seven percent (16 mice) of the surviving treated mice developed primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Velsicol (1973) fed groups of 100 male and 100 female CD-1 mice diets with 0, 5, 25 or 50 ppm analytical grade chlordane for 18 months. A significant (p<0.01) dose-related increase in nodular hyperplasias in the liver of male and female mice was reported at the the two highest dose levels. A histological review by Reuber (U.S. EPA, 1985) reported a high incidence (p<0.01) of hepatic carcinomas instead of hyperplastic nodules at 25 and 50 ppm. {NOTE: This discussion is continued but there is not enough room here for it.}
Liver carcinomas were induced in mice of both sexes in two studies. An adequate number of animals was observed, and dose-response effects were reported in all studies. The geometric mean of slope factors (0.25 to 4.74 per (mg/kg)/day for the most sensitive species is consistent with that derived from rat data (1.11/mg/kg/day).
Appropriate data for calculating a One-day HA are not available. It is recommended that the Ten-day HA of 0.06 mg/L be used as the One-day HA.
Ten-day HA -- 6E-2 mg/L
LOAEL -- 6.25 mg/kg/day
UF -- 1000 (allows for interspecies and intrahuman variability with the use of a LOAEL from an animal study)
Assumptions -- 1 L/day water consumption for a 10-kg child
Principal Study -- Ambrose et al., 1953
The toxic effects in rats resulting from daily gastric intubation of chlordane at doses of 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, 100.0, or 200 mg/kg for 15 days were histologic changes in the liver of the treated animals at all dose levels and central nervous system effects at higher dose levels. Only minimal histopathologic changes characterized by the presence of abnormal intracytoplasmic bodies of various diameters were evident at the lowest dose level (6.25 mg/kg). That dose level was identified as the LOAEL in this study.
Appropriate data for calculating a Longer-term HA are not available. It is recommended that the modified DWEL (adjusted for a 10-kg child) of 0.5 ug/L be used as the Longer-term HA.
Appropriate data for calculating a Longer-term HA are not available. It is recommended that the DWEL of 2 ug/L be used as the Longer-term HA for the 70-kg adult.
DWEL -- 2E-3 mg/L
Assumptions -- 2 L/day water consumption for a 70-kg adult
RfD Verification Date = 03/22/89 (see Section I.A. of this file)
Lifetime HA -- None
Chlordane is considered to be a probable human carcinogen. Refer to Section II of this file for information on the carcinogenicity of this substance.

MATRIX: This method is used to determine the concentration of various organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in extracts prepared from water, ground water, soils, and sediments.
METHOD SUMMARY: This method covers 26 pesticides and Aroclor (PCB) mixtures and it is suitable for monitoring-type analyses. After extraction, concentration and solvent exchange to hexane, a 2 to 5 uL sample aliquot is injected into a GC using the solvent flush technique, and the analytes are detected by an electron capture detector (ECD) or an electrolytic conductivity detector in the halogen mode (HECD). Both neat and diluted organic liquids may be analyzed by direct injection.
INTERFERENCES: Interferences coextracted from the samples will vary considerably from source to source. Interferences by phthalate esters can pose a major problem in pesticide determinations when using the ECD. Cross contamination of clean glassware routinely occurs when plastics are handled during extraction steps, especially when solvent-wetted surfaces are handled. The contamination from phthalate esters can be completely eliminated with a microcoulometric or electrolytic conductivity detector. Solvents, reagent, glassware, and other sample processing hardware may yield artifacts and/or interferences to sample analysis.
INSTRUMENTATION: A gas chromatograph capable of on-column injections is needed. It must be equipped with an ECD or a HECD and one of the following GC columns:
..... Column 1: Supelcoport (100/120 mesh) coated with 1.5% SP-2250/1.95% SP-2401 packed in a 1.8 m x 4 mm ID glass column.
..... Column #2: Supelcoport (100/120 mesh) coated with 3% OV-1 in a 1.8 m x 4 mm ID glass column.
PRECISION AND ACCURACY: The method was tested by 20 laboratories using organic-free reagent water, drinking water, surface water, and three industrial wastewaters spiked at six concentrations. Concentrations used in the study ranged from 0.5 to 30 ug/L for single-component pesticides and from 8.5 to 400 ug/L for multi-component parameters. Overall precision and method accuracy were found to be directly related to the concentration of the analyte and essentially independent of the sample matrix. The sensitivity of this method usually depends on the concentration of interferences rather than on instrumental limitations.
MDL in ug/L was 0.014.
Concentration Range in ug/L was 8.5-400.
Accuracy as Recovery (x*) in ug/L was 0.82C-0.04.
Overall precision (S*) in ug/L was 0.18x +0.18.
x* = Expected recovery for one or more measurements of a sample containing concentration C, in ug/L.
S* = Expected interlaboratory standard deviation of measurements at an average concentration found of the analyte in ug/L.
C = True value for the concentration, in ug/L.
x = Average recovery found for measurements of samples containing a concentration of C, in ug/L.
Liquid Samples: Use a 1 gallon or a 2 1/2 gallon amber glass bottle with a screw-top Teflon-lined cover. Pre-wash the bottle with detergent, rinse with distilled water and methanol (or isopropanol).
Soil, sediments and sludges: Use an 8 oz. widemouth glass with a screw-top Teflon-lined cover. Pre-wash the bottle with detergent, rinse with distilled water and methanol (or isopropanol).
Cool water, soil, sediment or sludge samples immediately to 4 deg. C.
Water samples: If residual chlorine is present, add 3 mL of 10% sodium thiosulfate per gallon and cool to 4 deg. C. All extracts and samples should be stored under refrigeration.
M.H.T.: Liquid samples must be extracted within 7 days and the extracts must be analyzed within 40 days. Soils, sediments and sludges may be stored for a maximum of 14 days prior to extraction.
Liquid Samples: Extract 1L samples in a continuous extractor at pH 5-9 with methylene chloride after adding 1.0 mL of surrogate spiking solution to each sample. Pass the extract through a column of anhydrous sodium sulfate to dry and concentrate it in a K-D apparatus to 1 mL volume.
Soils, Sediments and Sludges: Rapidly weigh approximately 30 g of sample into a 400 mL beaker to avoid loss of the more volatile extractables. Nonporous or wet samples (gummy or clay type) that do not have a free flowing sandy texture must be mixed with anhydrous sodium sulfate until the sample is free flowing. Add 1 mL of surrogate standards to all samples, spikes, standards, and blanks. Add 100 mL of 1:1 methylene chloride:acetone and extract ultrasonically. Decant and filter extracts, dry the extract by passing it through a drying column containing anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrate to 1 mL in a K-D apparatus.
Hexane Solvent Exchange: Add 50 mL of hexane, a new boiling chip, and concentrate until the apparent volume of liquid reaches 1 mL. Adjust the extract volume to 10.0 mL. Stopper the concentration tube and store refrigerated at 4 deg. C if further processing will not be performed immediately. If the extract will be stored longer than two days, transfer it to a vial with Teflon-lined screw-cap or crimp top.
QUALITY CONTROL: Demonstrate through the analysis of a reagent water blank, that all glassware and reagents are interference free. Each time a set of samples are processed, a method blank should be processed as a safeguard against chronic laboratory contamination. A reagent blank, a matrix spike and a duplicate or matrix spike duplicate must be performed for each analytical batch (up to a maximum of 20 samples) analyzed. Analytical system performance must be verified by analyzing QC check samples. The QC check sample concentration should contain Chlordane at 50 ug/mL in acetone.

EPA Method 8270 is used to determine the concentration of semivolatile organic compounds in extracts prepared from all types of solid waste matrices, soils, and ground water. It is also applicable to an extract from sorbent media in conjunction with Method 0010. Direct injection of a sample may be used in limited applications.
Method 8270 can be used to quantify most neutral, acidic, and basic organic compounds that are soluble in methylene chloride and capable of being eluted without derivatization as sharp peaks from a gas chromatographic fused-silica capillary column coated with a slightly polar silicone. Such compounds include polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and pesticides, phthalate esters, organophosphate esters, nitrosamines, haloethers, aldehydes, ethers, ketones, anilines, pyridines, quinolines, aromatic nitro compounds, and phenols, including nitrophenols.
Method 8270 describes conditions for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to allow for the separation of the semivolatile compounds on the method target list. Sample extraction, purification, and concentration techniques are addressed in other methods. EPA Methods 3510, 3520, 3540, 3550, 3580 may be applicable to the sample preparation.
Raw GC/MS data from all blanks, samples, and spikes must be evaluated for interferences. If an interference results from the preparation and/or cleanup of samples, corrective action can be taken to eliminate the problem. If the problem is a very high sample background of alkyl or aromatic hydrocarbons, very little can be done to resolve the problem other than dilution of the samples, which raises the detection limit. If chromatographic coelution occurs, deconvolution of the coeluting components by mass spectrometric techniques will be effective if the compounds are not chemically related and their mass spectra can be resolved. If isomers coelute and their mass spectra are similar, the coelution cannot be resolved.
Contamination by carryover can occur whenever high level and low level samples are analyzed sequentially. To reduce carryover, the sample syringe must be rinsed carefully with solvent between sample injections. The chromatographic column should be allowed to remain at a high temperature until all late-eluting components have eluted from the column in order to avoid chromatographic carryover problems. Whenever an unusually concentrated sample is encountered, it should be followed by the analysis of clean solvent to check for cross-contamination. If contamination is observed, the injections of solvent should be repeated until the contamination is no longer observed before another sample injection is performed.

3. Science Findings
Summary Science Statement
- Chlordane is a chlorinated cyclodiene with moderate acute toxicity. the chemical has demonstrated adverse chronic effects in mice (causing liver tumors). Chlordane may pose a significant health risk of chronic liver effects to occupants of structures treated with chlordane for termite control. This risk may be determined to be of regulatory concern, pending further evaluation. Chlordane is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and birds. Chlordane is persistent and bioaccumulates. Chlordane may have a potential for contaminating surface water; thus, a special study is required to delineate this potential. Applicator exposure studies are required to determine whether exposure to applicators may be posing health risks. special product-specific subacute inhalation testing is required to evaluate the short-term respiratory hazards to humans in structures treated with chlordane. An inhalation study of one-year duration using rats is required to assess potential hazards to humans in treated residences from this route of exposure. The Agency has been apprised of reported cases of optic neuritis associated with termiticide treatment of homes. To determine whether this is a significant health effect, the registrant must have eye tissue from the latest two-year rat oncogenicity study analyzed by neuropathologists specializing in optic tissue pathology. Data available to the Agency show an occurrence of misuse and misapplication of chlordane. The Agency is requiring restricted use classification of all end-use products containing chlordane. Application must be made either in the actual physical presence of a Certified Applicator, or if the Certified Applicator is not physically present at the site, each uncertified applicator must have completed a State approved training course in termiticide application meeting minimal EPA training requirements and be registered in the State in which the uncertified applicator is working.

Here are a few recently reviewed books and movies to choose from.
Click on the title to read the review and the image to link to the affiliate site.
Arrival is a remarkable film, with great performances from Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, but highest accolades go to the director and cinematographer.
The last of Ursula Le Guin's award winners (for now) is Powers, which is the third volume of her Annals of the Western Shore. I don't have the first two yet, but fortunately this was mostly a stand-alone tale, which I really liked. One of these days I'll read Gifts and Voices, and when I do I'll update this page.
Two New Pages: 1 Novella, 3 TV Shows
10/20/16; 8:30pm CDT - Galen
Everything Belongs to the Future is a new novella by Laurie Penny, and I believe this is her first fiction story. It's good but has flaws.
Another new page, long overdue, takes a look at the first three shows of Marvel on Netflix, Daredevil, Jessica Jones & Luke Cage. All are recommended, but the second two are the better ones, hard to choose between them.
Infomocracy Redux
10/14/16; 7:40pm CDT - Galen
Yes, I do have lots of other books to read, but I decided to re-read Infomocracy by Malka Older, in hardcover this time. I've edited a few things and added other comments, so even if you've read the review before I invite you to take another look. This is at once fast-paced, with interesting characters, but also with thought-provoking ideas on political possibilities at a point in our world where it seems rabid nationalism is once again on the rise, threatening to drive us all apart. I recommend this book very much. At this time it is at the top of my list for a Hugo nomination next year.
10/5/16; 11:20am CDT - Galen
Cumulus by Eliot Peper is a fast-paced, action-filled, near future techno-thriller. Points deducted for minimal plot background and character development, but not a waste of time.
2 Novellas, Both Alternate Lovecraft Stories
9/29/16; 3:50pm CDT - Galen
Two new reviews today, both Tor.com novellas, and both alternate takes on Lovecraft stories. Victor LaValle's The Ballad of Black Tom and The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson.
Every Heart a Doorway
9/25/16; 8:50pm CDT - Galen
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is one of the first novellas that Tor.com released in print form. It's part fairy tale, part gothic horror. Interesting characters and situations, although not that original, but maybe it's what's under the surface that's more important.
After Atlas
9/24/16; 6:30pm CDT - Galen
Emma Newman's After Atlas is a follow-up to last year's Planetfall, and while it is connected, it's not what I would call a direct sequel. It's not out until Nov. 8, but I got an advance copy from NetGalley. Maybe too soon to post a review, and I will take it down if requested, but I'm very enthusiastic about it and didn't want to wait.
9/22/16; 1:00pm CDT - Galen
Connie Willis' latest novel is Crosstalk. Enjoyable enough, but not as serious as I would have liked. A rom-com novel if you will.
9/18/16; 7:10pm CDT - Galen
Peter Beagle's Summerlong might be different in style and tone from the other fantasies I've read by him, but it's still very good.
9/7/16; 8:45pm CDT - Galen
Nisi Shawl's first novel, Everfair, is sort of a steampunk alternate history, but that's just the simple description. It's a complex and epic tale of a possible utopian society being created in the heart of early 20th Century Africa. But just as utopia means "no place," can any man-made government ever be fair for everyone involved?
All the Birds in the Sky
8/31/16; 9:30pm CDT - Galen
Charlie Jane Anders' first SF novel, All the Birds in the Sky, is both a whimsical fantasy and a profoundly philosophical look at man's trust in science.
Certain Dark Things
8/28/16; 2:45pm CDT - Galen
Silvia Moreno-Garcia's second novel, Certain Dark Things, is a dark and gritty tale of a teenage boy in Mexico City, caught between vampire drug lords, human gangsters, and cops. I haven't decided yet if I like it more or less than her first book, Signal to Noise. They are such different kinds of stories, but both are highly recommended.
My MidAmeriCon II Report
8/24/16; 7:00pm CDT - Galen
I finally got around to writing a bit about MidAmeriCon II. All in all, my experience was a positive one. Unfortunately, it didn't go smoothly for everyone.
2016 Hugo & 1941 Retro Hugo Awards
8/22/16; 11:30am CDT - Galen
I attended three of the five days of this year's Worldcon, MidAmeriCon2 in Kansas City, and had a great time. I intend to write about the experience, but that will have to wait for now. What I have done today is update the Hugo Award and the Retro Hugo pages to highlight the latest winners. All available titles are linked to amazon in case you're interested in purchasing any of them.
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang
8/15/16; 9:30pm CDT - Galen
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm was the Hugo winner in 1977. Beautifully written, strong character drama, but weak on the scientific end of things.
Downbelow Station
8/10/16; 9:00pm CDT - Galen
C. J. Cherryh won a Hugo for Downbelow Station in 1982. Not as good as I remembered, but I'm sure my tastes have changed somewhat. It was ambitious, but maybe longer and more complex than she could handle at that time in her career. I'd say at least three other books nominated that year were better.
Children of the Different
8/2/16; 4:40pm CDT - Galen
Stuart Charles Flynn's debut novel is Children of the Different. Recommended, with a few reservations.
NOT the Last Book of Earthsea
7/30/16; 9:30pm CDT - Galen
Eighteen years after the end of the original Earthsea Trilogy, Le Guin returned to that world for another adventure. Not sure if it was her decision or her publisher's, but Tehanu, later a Nebula winner, was at that time identified as the Last Book of Earthsea. It wasn't; she would later release another novel, a story collection, plus a non-fiction lecture series on her fictional universe. I don't have any of those yet, so at this time I can say that Tehanu is the best of the series that I have read.
Star Trek Beyond
7/26/16; 11:00am CDT - Galen
Eliza is a bigger Trekkie than me, so I asked her for this movie review: Star Trek Beyond.
Back to Earthsea
7/24/16; 8:15pm CDT - Galen
I return to Le Guin's Earthsea with a few comments on the third book of the original trilogy, The Farthest Shore.
7/17/16; 2:20pm CDT - Galen
C. A. Higgins' second novel is a continuation of the story begun in last year's Lightless. I made a few edits to that page and added comments on the new book below that.
The Fifth Season
6/29/16; 6:50pm CDT - Galen
Yet another book I wanted to like much more than I did. N. K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season is the beginning of a new trilogy. It was nominated for Nebula and Locus awards, but didn't win either, but also up for a Hugo. I had to read it before voting, but I'm not sure I'm interested in the rest of the series, unless they are also nominated or win some awards.
The Aeronaut's Windlass
6/10/16; 8:30pm CDT - Galen
Jim Butcher's latest novel, The Aeronaut's Windlass, is the beginning of a new series called The Cinder Spires. It has been nominated for a Hugo, and while it is entertaining enough, not what I would call award-worthy. YMMV.
Updates for Two Book Series
6/4/16; 7:30pm CDT - Galen
It's been a while since I finished Nemesis Games, the fifth novel in the Expanse book series by James S. A. Corey. I had wanted to take another look at that review, maybe eliminate some spoilers in previous sections. I may have deleted or changed a few comments, but mainly just put up more spoiler warnings. If you haven't read any of the books yourself, or any of my review, I suggest you scroll to the top of that page and stop after the first section. If you're not worried about spoilers and just want to get a sense of the story, feel free to continue through the review.
The other addition for today is The Tombs of Atuan, the second novel in Le Guin's original Earthsea trilogy.
5/26/16; 9:45pm CDT - Galen
Malka Older's first novel is also the first novel from the Tor.com imprint. Infomocracy is a taut thriller in a near future with a transformed political landscape, while at the same time it has some eerie parallels to current political and social situations. Recommended.
A Wizard of Earthsea
5/22/16; 6:00pm CDT - Galen
This fantasy series from Le Guin is very highly regarded by most critics and readers, but I have to rate A Wizard of Earthsea below the SF books that I have read by her. I'm hoping the rest of the series helps to change my mind, and I'll get back to it soon, but another book from another author will come before that.
Captain America: Civil War
5/15/16; 7:00pm CDT - Galen
My opinion is once again different from a lot of others. No, this is not the best of the MCU. Of course that opinion is based on absolutely no knowledge of the storyline from the comics. I just didn't care for how our "heroes" acted in this one.
5/15/16; 4:15pm CDT - Galen
The latest Nebula winning novel is Uprooted by Naomi Novik. On the surface it seems a typical enough fairy tale, but it's really compelling and unpredictable.
2015 Nebulas
5/15/16; 10:30am CDT - Galen
I've just updated the Awards Page with the winners of this year's Nebulas, as well as the nominees for the Hugos (to be presented mid-August), plus added links to all the appropriate Amazon pages. I finished reading the Nebula winner last night, and will follow up with a review as soon as possible.
The Grace of Kings
3/16/16; 9:30pm CDT - Galen
Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings has received generally positive reviews and has been nominated for a Nebula. I obviously didn't like it as much as others.
3/11/16; 8:15pm CST - Galen
In spite of a few minor faults, Neal Stephenson's Seveneves is one of the best books I've read in a while, a real mind-blower. Definitely on my Hugo nomination list.
Three Book Reviews
2/29/16; 1:15pm CST - Galen
I've read four novels since uploading the last review, and had previously thought I would continue reading as many Hugo eligible titles as possible before doing any more reviews. But I am taking advantage of Leap Day to post some comments about three of them. I'll get to the fourth one as soon as possible, but since it is a continuation of an on-going series I need to take a fresh look at that page to see if I should do some edits of previous comments first. At this time, at least one of the following is in my Top 5 picks for a Hugo nomination.
The Mechanical, Book 1 of The Alchemy War by Ian Tregillis
Not Dark Yet by Berit Ellingsen
The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi
2015 Nebulas
2/21/16; 1:15pm CST - Galen
The SFWA has announced the nominees for the 2015 Nebulas, and I've just finished revising the Awards Page, as well as the Amazon Books & Amazon Films pages to include links for available books and films. This is the first year I've included links for any of the novellas, but several of those are in print or on Kindle. As soon as I get the chance, I'll review previous years to see if any of the shorter works are in book form, but of course a lot of those would also have been included in 'Best Of' collections too. The Nebula winners will be announced on May 14.
The Wind's Twelve Quarters
2/18/16; 6:35pm CST - Galen
Le Guin's first short story collection, The Wind's Twelve Quarters, boasts four award winners along with nine other nominations, and the book itself won a Locus Award for Best Single Author Collection for 1975.
The Word For World Is Forest
2/13/16; 8:10pm CST - Galen
The Word For World Is Forest won a Hugo as best novella in 1973. It originally appeared in the 1972 anthology Again, Dangerous Visions, but has also been printed on its own in several editions over the years.
The Dispossessed
2/9/16; 5:45pm CST - Galen
Ursula Le Guin also won a Hugo and Nebula (among others) for 1974's The Dispossessed, both a personal and a political story. One of the best there has ever been.
The Expanse TV (Revised)
2/9/16; 5:45pm CST - Galen
Now that the first short season is complete, I edited my review a bit.
The Left Hand of Darkness
2/3/16; 9:45pm CST - Galen
Ursula K. Le Guin won her first Hugo, and Nebula, with 1969's The Left Hand of Darkness. It's just as good now as it was then, a testament to a true classic. If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?
Signal To Noise
1/31/16; 2:20pm CST - Galen
Silvia Moreno Garcia's first novel, Signal To Noise, is a vivid tale of teenage angst mixed with music and magic in Mexico City in the late 1980s, with later reflections in 2009. Recommended.
City of Blades
1/27/16; 5:10pm CST - Galen
The second novel of The Divine Cities by Robert Jackson Bennett is City of Blades. It's actually better than the first, and I expect it to show up on quite a few award ballots next year. If you haven't yet read my review of the first book of the series just scroll up to the top of that page.
The X-Files
1/23/16; 10:00pm CST - Galen
In anticipation of the new mini-series starting tomorrow on FOX, I recently completed a re-watch of all nine seasons of The X-Files, quite a bit of which I had not seen the first time around. My review page also includes comments on the two movies, and I'll update with comments on the new episodes soon, although I may wait until all six have been broadcast.
City of Stairs
1/18/16; 1:00pm CST - Galen
Robert Jackson Bennett's City of Stairs is the first of a trilogy called The Divine Cities. Great world-building, interesting characters, a compelling mystery. Recommended. The second book will be out a week from tomorrow, but I have an advance copy, so I'll be updating the review soon.
1/7/16; 3:15pm CST - Galen
Planetfall by Emma Newman is both a taut mystery about colonizing an alien planet, as well as an intense portrait of an interesting, but disturbed, woman. Recommended.
Harlan Ellison is CanTankerous
1/2/16; 7:00pm CST - Galen
Harlan's latest book contains previously uncollected stories, some very old, but rewritten for this publication. Unfortunately, Can & Can'Tankerous is only for the die-hard fans.
Hello 2016!
1/1/16; 8:30am CST - Galen
Happy New Year! All of last year's updates have been moved to the Archives page. Can't say yet when a new one for this year will be uploaded, but maybe this weekend. I reviewed a total of thirty-two books in 2015, while also re-reading a few previously reviewed ones. That's an increase of ten over 2014, but I will endeavor to do even more this year, with my goal being at least fifty. There were also ten movie reviews, three for TV shows, one author profile, plus other miscellaneous additions to existing pages. All in all, an improvement over 2014, but not as much as I would have liked.

First time poster here looking for some advice from the experts on supplements.
First let me introduce myself. I'm almost 46 years old and I've never been a heavy lifter. I generally lift weights 3 months a year (generally January through March). I play softball and golf in the spring and summer and I just don't have the time. I've never been able to build much muscle mass and I can't lift a lot of weight (although I'm a pretty decent ball player with homerun power). I don't want to get bulky but I'd like to add some muscle.
My workout consists of about 13 exercises with a mix of abs, legs and arms. I only do 2 sets of about 10 on each one (more reps on abs of course) then I run on the treadmill for about 15 minutes. I try to do this 3 times a week (every other day if i can). The whole routine takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. I should also note that I do the same exact exercises every routine. I see where people do different muscles on different days but I just don't have time for that and it's already hard enough to put together a routine (home gym) that allows me to move between exercises quickly without changing weights around too much.
So now that I'm getting older I was thinkg about adding some supplements to see if it helped. From reading this site I think I'll try the ON whey protein and maybe some fish oil pills. I eat a pretty well balanced diet so these supplements would be in addition to my normal diet.
I have some questions:
1. do you think these supplements will help me build muscle given my "light" workout?
2. Does it do me any good to take them during the months when I'm NOT lifting?
3. How much of the whey protein and fish oil should I take in addition to my normal diet and when should I be taking them. I generally do my routine after work but before I eat dinner.

ABSTRACT: Obstetric injuries due to medical errors are rare, but their consequences may be severe or fatal. Since 1995, the Danish Patient Insurance Association (DPIA) has recognized a fairly constant number of ∼30 obstetric claims per year. This retrospective study was undertaken to assess possible associations between the size of labor units and the frequency of approved obstetric claims.
The DPIA database was used to identify submitted obstetric claims where the suspected injury occurred between 1995 and 2009. In the 1440 cases reviewed, the main outcome measure was whether the claim had been approved by the DPIA. After exclusion of cases for various reasons, 1326 were included in the final analysis. The 29 labor units were categorized based on the average annual number of deliveries during the study period: 4 small labor units with less than 1000 deliveries per year, 19 intermediate size units with 1000 to 2999 deliveries per year, 4 large labor units with 3000 to 3999 deliveries per year, and 2 very large units with 4000 or more deliveries per year. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS version 18.0 for Windows. The χ2 tests (including test for trend) were used for comparisons.
The overall frequency of submitted claims per number of deliveries was 1.5 per thousand. No significant difference was found between size of unit and rate of claim submissions. Of the 1326 claims, 527 (39.7%) were approved; 145 (28%) of approved claims did not receive any financial compensation despite acknowledgement of obstetric error by the DPIA. The submitted claims regarding injuries occurring in small labor units had the highest approval rate (50.0%, n = 30), followed by intermediate units (41.7%, n = 306) and very large units (38.8%, n = 76). Large units with 3000 to 3999 deliveries annually had the lowest approval rate (34.2%, n = 115; P < 0.05). The overall rate of approved claims per number of deliveries was 0.6 per thousand. Among the 29 labor units, the number of approved claims per number of deliveries ranged from 0.3 to 1.8 per thousand (P < 0.01).
Large labor units seem to meet the best practices principles that were used to approve or deny obstetric claims more frequently than smaller or very large units. Most approved obstetric claims were based on what having an experienced clinician involved with the care would have offered, particularly in smaller labor units. This was assumed to be related to the reduced availability of in-house obstetricians and poorer representation of auxiliary services.

The past three games have been about as close as we can get to winning without actually earning a victory. An eight point loss to the top team in our league, followed by a two point loss on the road to the fourth place team, and then a five point overtime loss this past Saturday against the second place team in our league, Artego Bydgoszcz.

We are coming off a long but fun weekend that included a road trip to Kraków, where we faced one of the top teams in our league Wisla CP Kraków. The game could've gone better as we lost 83-59. However, keep in mind that this team is not only one of the best teams in Poland, they're also a top team in the Euroleague and have the WNBA's MVP Tina Charles on their team among other great players.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am going to do my best to watch it over here in Poland. Hopefully I will be able to stay up late enough and my WiFi will work well enough to see somewhat of a clear picture.

It seems like not too long ago that I was on an early morning flight from Portland to start a journey filled with high hopes as well as many unknowns. Today, I am on my way home, and while it doesn't seem like it, it was nearly 7 months ago that my professional career began in Poland.

I'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone back home! I hope everyone is enjoying time with family and friends and of course their turkey feasts as well. I certainly wish I could be home with my family to celebrate, however I'm more than thankful to be where I am today. Athletes sacrifice a lot to meet the demands of their seasons and for basketball players, this includes missing time with family and friends during winter holidays. I am definitely accustomed to being gone for Thanksgiving.

Poland may be behind America in many ways, however not when it comes to daylight savings time. Last night we "fell back" an hour- a whole week before it happens in the U.S. This is just further proof that Fall is officially here. The weather has most definitely been an indication of that as well. Temperatures are dropping and we even had a short period of a little snow. This week is expected to be in the low 40s, which doesn't seem too bad but for some reason it feels a lot cooler than that.

One week in, and the journey is in full swing. As expected, basketball has been occupying the majority of my time but I have had the opportunity to fully unpack, and briefly explore the immediate surrounding area. With the exception of a couple of days, we have had two practices a day. Weights and/or conditioning in the morning and basketball practice in the afternoon. I feel almost like I'm back in college at summer school- minus the schoolwork. The day-to-day schedule is very similar.

Greetings from our snowy neighborhood in Sopot! I guess they were just waiting until the New Year to give us some snow, as we are now in the midst of our third consecutive day with snow and the forecast is predicting this to continue for another three days. Also, since I have been back from break, I've noticed the amount of darkness during the day. I'm sure it was like this before I left but maybe I just wasn't aware until I went home and got to experience a more normal amount of sunlight during the day.

A combination of basketball, community service and sightseeing made this weekend very busy, yet a lot of fun. Saturday morning we drove about 20 minutes to Gdansk to visit the area of the city known as Old Town. It was absolutely beautiful, minus the rain, and I'd love to share more about it but after almost three weeks, I finally have some basketball news to share!

Hello from America! I made it home last night and it feel so good! The travel was long, as expected, but was problem free thanks to my light cardio session through Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. This was my first time having to run to catch my flight but after my 2-hour layover was consumed by the slowest moving customs process ever, I was left with no choice but to fasten up my backpack and hit the terminal running. Nonetheless, I made my flight and after the 23 hours of travel, I was home sweet home.

Deadly Diving In Columbia County
Published May 16th, 2009
A 54-year-old Columbia County resident is dead after diving off a bridge into shallow water.
Authorities say the victim, Allen J. Petho, was swimming with friends at the Itchetucknee River at the Columbia County, Suwannee County line.
Friends say around 2 p.m., the victim dove off the Highway 27 bridge into the river. The victim died when he hit the river bottom.
Authorities are reminding people to never dive into water with an unknown depth. Not only is the depth of water important, but there could be rocks or other things in water that may not be visible from the surface.

The app is designed to help make using OziCall easier, more convenient, and more fun.
The OziCall service can only be used from your mobile phone or from a landline.
There are more than 70 countries included in the OziCall plan.
OziCall is always looking to bring more countries into the plan, so please check occasionally on our Country List page.
Since the app dials through your iPhone or Android device, the Caller ID shows to those you call is your mobile phone number.
Since the app sends your mobile phone number as the Caller ID, people just return calls by dialing your mobile number.
This is just the OziCall system letting you know it's in the process of connecting your call.
Talk Up is new way to make free international calls using a free virtual calling card.
Use your landline to create an account and add free Talk Up credit, then use any phone (land or mobile) to make free international calls.
Getting started with Talk Up is easy. Just follow these steps:
To use your Talk Up credit, you just need to do the following:
Dial one of our access numbers from any phone:
Listen to the prompt, then enter your account number when we ask for it.
After you enter your account number, dial 0011 and your international destination starting with the country code.
Wait while we connect your call.
You can call from many different landlines, but we will create a new account number for each landline you call in from.
If you want to avoid having to write down a lot of account numbers, then you should call in from just one landline phone number.
To check your balance or account number, you need to dial 1300 721 478 from the landline that you created your Talk Up account on.
When you call in, we recognize your account and let you manage it from there. Select the option for information about my Talk Up account and we'll read you your balance and account number.
If you get this error when you call one of our 1300 Talk Up numbers, hang up and dial again using 1832 at the start of the number.
For instance dial 1832 1300 721 478. This will unblock your phone, send the caller ID to us, and allow Talk Up to work from your phone.
Yes. You can create new Talk Up accounts with 100 or 250 minutes of talk time by transferring a part of your existing Talk Up balance to the new account. To do this, dial 1300 721 478 and select option 8 or 9 in the menu.
Make sure that you have a pen and paper handy before calling in because we will read the new account number off to you only during that call.
If you want to add more Talk Up credit to an existing account and do not want to listen to any of our other menu options, then dial 1300 721 039. This number adds 7 minutes of Talk Up time to your account very quickly.
OziCall does not charge you anything for using talk up, HOWEVER to charge and manage your Talk Up account, you need to dial 1300 numbers from a landline phone.
Depending on your landline phone plan, you may be charged a per call fee to dial our 1300 numbers. Some landline plans have unlimited 1300 access in them, and others charge you for each 1300 call you make. You should be fully aware of any charges associated with calling 1300 numbers before dialing our Talk Up 1300 numbers.
To avoid bill shock, do not charge up hundreds of Talk Up minutes if you get charged per call to 1300 numbers.

Final Stats
ELIZABETH CITY, NC - The Fayetteville State women's basketball team was unable to find a second consecutive road victory.
Missed shots and turnovers cost the Lady Broncos in a 64-53 loss at Elizabeth City State. FSU's record now sits at 3-2.
Deja Middleton led the Lady Broncos with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Sequoia Morton also recorded a double-double, going for 12 and 11, respectively. Those two combined for 23 of FSU's 39 rebounds.
The Lady Broncos were forced to play from behind early after the Lady Vikings scored nine of the game's first 11 points in the first 7:12. FSU responded by cutting the gap to 12-8 with 10:51 to go in the first half. A Morton layup at the 7:28 mark drew FSU within 16-14.
After Bria Robinson made it 22-17 Elizabeth City with 5:23 left in the first half, the Lady Vikings scored nine points in a row to stretch the gap to 31-17. It was 36-22 at the half. FSU outscored Elizabeth City in the paint 14-10 in the period (and 34-24 in the game) and 4-2 in transition.
Despite FSU opening the second half with a Middleton layup, the Lady Vikings responded with a 13-6 run to go ahead 49-30. Elizabeth City took a 22-point lead at 54-32, but FSU immediately responded with a 9-0 run to get back within 13.
The Lady Broncos cut the gap to nine when JeLena Robertson made a pair of free throws with 2:54 to go. That made it 58-49, but the Lady Vikings went on a 6-2 run to escape with the victory.
Middleton scored 15 of her 17 points in the second half. She was 7 of 9 in the period with eight rebounds. Shaquanza Manning had nine points and recorded three steals.
The Lady Broncos are back in action on Saturday against Palm Beach Atlantic on Saturday in Raleigh.

About 50 cheerleaders at McKinley High School have been suspended from the sport pending an investigation into cyberbullying.
Click here to watch the report.
Our partners at Civil Beat say Athletic Director Bob Morikuni told them the school decided to suspend the whole team to ensure the safety of all students.
The Hawaii State Department of Education tells Civil Beat the investigation was prompted when school administrators noticed that some cheerleaders were allegedly engaging in internet activity that included name-calling and harrassment against their peers.
The Junior Varsity team is still being allowed to participate in a championship competition.

It was tough last year when Miami lost in six games to Dallas.
This season the fans should be given another shot at a championship.
With a few tweaks, Miami should be able to make it back to the finals considering the core of players who haven't changed.
They deserve another shot, and so do the fans. Make it happen, please.

- General Info:
- When Steve Campau took over the Renton Coin Shop seven years ago there were four counters, now he has 14 for conducting business and he's seeing a greater mix of customers. With changes in the economy and the value of gold and silver has come a new influx of people. Well, [gold and silver] are really important right now because theyre helping keep peoples portfolios balanced and the people who are selling it need money, said Campau. The Renton Coin Shop is important to the community because it provides people with money and liquidity, he said. People are digging up coins that their grandparents gave them and Campau said, Its a treasure hunt everyday. The Renton Coin Shop has probably five to 10 million coins. On a typical day they will have as many as 100 or 125 customers. And so the traffic has changed a lot, said Campau. A lot of people buying and a lot of people selling more gold, more silver. Its an extreme, he said, from the poorest customers buying $2 to $3 items to people that buy items worth tens of thousands of dollars. Over the years Campau has watched as the value of gold and silver has gone up and down, but whats remained a constant is the community thats formed around the shop. We get an awful lot of referrals and word of mouth simply because this shop has been here treating people decently since 1964, said Doug, a long-time shop worker. And that makes a big difference.

Special AIDS quilt should remind us of dangers that still exist
The AIDS Memorial Quilt is on the campus of Marietta College this week, along with opportunities for free HIV tests and other events designed to increase awareness about HIV and AIDS.
It's a subject that doesn't make headlines like it once did, so we're happy to see that those at the college are reminding students-or perhaps introducing the subject-that the danger still exists.
For their generation, it may not be the source of fear or concern that it has been for others. But that doesn't mean people should let their guards down and stop using precautions.
Using protection during sexual activity is a smart idea, not only to prevent the passage of HIV from one person to another but other sexually transmitted diseases, as well. HPV, for example, can lead to cancer and possibly have fatal consequences, just like HIV.
Researchers have made great strides in treating HIV and AIDS so that it is no longer necessarily a death sentence but it's also not something to be taken lightly.
Some who have it may be able to live a fairly normal life, but it will likely be a life with lots of medication, a compromised immune system and other challenges.
In addition to students, we hope those in the community take part in the events of the week and go see the quilt on display. It's an important reminder of who we've lost, where we've been and how important it is to stay vigilant.
We commend those who brought the quilt here for keeping this issue in the forefront.

It's easy to find a name for a mainboard when you have only three or five models in a series. You name your basic model first, then add "Pro" for the midrange one, and "Elite" or "Extreme" for the flagship. But what if there are a dozen or more models in a single series?
Gigabyte has long found a solution to that problem. The company's mainboards have simple and understandable names, falling into several categories. If you see the number 2 at the end of a Gigabyte mainboard's name, for example "D2H", then you have a basic microATX product. A basic full-size mainboard would have the number 3 in its name, like "USB3" or "UD3". "UD4" or "UD5" would mean a midrange product whereas senior models would be called something like "UD7" or even "UD9".
Following this logic, you can easily learn a lot of things about the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) mainboard from its name. Obviously, it is based on the Intel X58 Express chipset and is thus meant for LGA1366 processors. It is a new model as denoted by revision 2.0, and it is a basic model since it has "UD3" in its name. While these assumptions are all correct, you may be surprised at the rich capabilities and functionality of this mainboard. In fact, its price is the only entry-level thing about it!
Gigabyte's same-series mainboards come in similar boxes, so this package design is already familiar to us from our Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) review. We are going to use the latter model as a point of reference for the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0).
Besides the actual mainboard you also get the following accessories:
It used to be easy to tell an entry-level mainboard from its top-end counterpart as it would have fewer graphics card and memory slots and would not support multi-GPU technologies, but now we'd never think the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) is a basic model after taking a look at it.
The most notable difference from the senior model is the changed cooling system. This model has the same number of heatsinks on each of the hot components, but the heatsinks are not combined into a single system with heat pipes. There is only one heat pipe connecting two heatsinks here. Thus, the cooling system is simpler, yet effective enough for coping with its job even if you overclock the mainboard.
The rest of the differences have to be looked for. There is no POST indicator and no Power and Reset buttons. The CPU voltage regulator has fewer phases. There is only one rather than two network ports at the back but the mainboard's back panel still looks exemplary, using all the space available for the different interfaces:
We have noted a few insignificant differences but the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) has almost the same set of basic features which impressed us so much in our review of the senior model. This mainboard supports all modern LGA1366 processors, including six-core ones, and offers the same number of memory and graphics card slots (the operation modes of those slots are the same, too). It has a lot of onboard controllers that provide IDE, SATA 3 Gbps, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 3.0 and FireWire interfaces.
The component layout chart also shows that the mainboard has a complex indication system which uses a number of multicolored LEDs to report the current voltages and temperatures of key components like the CPU, memory, and chipset. The rows of LEDs even indicate the number of active power phases while the bright-blue ones show how high the base clock rate is.
Thus, the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) is but formally positioned as an entry-level product. It only differs from the senior model in extra features which have almost no effect on its functionality whereas the main set of capabilities has remained the same and is richer than you can find with many other mainboards.
We have described BIOSes of Gigabyte's mainboards a number of times. The last time it was the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) model. Gigabyte's mainboards have one peculiarity. The company issues BIOS updates for an entire product series at once, so junior models do not differ from senior ones in terms of BIOS options. That's why we will just offer you this table which lists the key BIOS features of the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0):
We can also show you snapshots of all BIOS screens including those that contain rarely used settings.
We carried out our tests on a testbed that included the following components:
We used Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Microsoft Windows, Version 6.1, Build 7600) operating system, Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility version 18.104.22.1685, ATI Catalyst 10.9 graphics card driver.
Gigabyte's GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) and GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) mainboards are very much alike to each other. They have almost the same BIOS options and the same peculiarities. Particularly, each of them increases the base clock rate to 135 MHz in default mode.
This kind of overclocking doesn't affect the mainboard's stability, yet you can easily turn it off if you don't like it. Just set the Base Clock Control option in the Advanced Frequency Settings of the mainboard's BIOS to Enabled and the frequency will return to 133 MHz. We didn't change that setting in our tests, though, but we utilized all the power-saving technologies and Intel Turbo Boost by enabling the C3/C6/C7 State Support option in the CPU-related BIOS screen.
We easily overclocked our CPU with this mainboard even though we had to use somewhat different voltages than with the senior model. Increasing the base clock rate from 133 to 177 MHz, we made our CPU work at 3.9 GHz.
The power-saving technologies were all active even at overclocking, lowering the frequency multiplier and voltage of the CPU when the latter was idle.
Thus, the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) is just as good as its senior cousin at overclocking, too.
As usual, we are going to compare the mainboards speeds in two different modes: in nominal mode and during CPU and memory overclocking. The first mode is interesting because it shows how well the mainboards work with their default settings. It is a known fact that most users do not fine-tune their systems, they simply choose the optimal BIOS settings and do nothing else. That is why we run a round of tests almost without interfering in any way with the default mainboard settings. In this case, however, we did enable "Intel Turbo Boost". For comparison purposes we are going to use the results of Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) mainboard tested earlier.
We used Cinebench 11.5. All tests were run five times and the average result of the five runs was taken for the performance charts.
We have been using Fritz Chess Benchmark utility for a long time already and it proved very illustrative. It generated repeated results, the performance in it is scales perfectly depending on the number of involved computational threads.
A small video in x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 is encoded in two passes and then the entire process is repeated four times. The average results of the second pass are displayed on the following diagram:
In the archiving test a 1 GB file is compressed using LZMA2 algorithms, while other compression settings remain at defaults.
Like in the data compression test, the faster 16 million of Pi digits are calculated, the better. This is the only benchmark where the number of processor cores doesn't really matter, because it creates single-threaded load.
There are good and bad things about complex performance tests. However, 3D Mark Vantage has become extremely popular. The diagram below shows the results after three test runs:
Since we do not overclock graphics in our mainboard reviews, the next diagram shows only CPU test from the 3D Mark Vantage suite.
We use FC2 Benchmark Tool to go over Ranch Small map ten times in 1280x1024 resolution with medium and high image quality settings in DirectX 10.
Resident Evil 5 game also has a built-in performance test. Its peculiarity is that it can really take advantage of multi-core processor architecture. The tests were run in DirectX 10 in 1280x1024 resolution with medium image quality settings. The average of five test runs was taken for further analysis:
As expected, there is no big difference between the mainboards.
Let's see what we have if the systems are overclocked by increasing their base clock rates.
We see identical results again, expectedly enough. The mainboards are both close to each other in their capabilities and achieve the same overclocking results, so they deliver the same performance.
We performed our power consumption measurements using an Extech Power Analyzer 380803. This device is connected before the PSU and measures the power draw of the entire system (without the monitor), including the power loss that occurs in the PSU itself. In the idle mode we start the system up and wait until it stops accessing the hard disk. Then we use LinX to load the Intel Core i7-930 CPU. For a more illustrative picture there are graphs that show how the computer's power consumption grows up depending on the number of active execution threads in LinX (both at the default and overclocked system settings). We performed the test in four modes: idle mode, single-thread load, four-thread and eight-thread load.
It is no wonder that the mainboards are close in terms of power consumption in default mode but we might have expected them to differ when overclocked because we used slightly different voltages. However, the difference is small even then. The overclocked mainboards consume about the same amount of power at any load.
As we have found out in this review of the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0), it has some differences from the senior model GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0), yet those differences are mostly insignificant. The lack of Power and Reset buttons doesn't affect functionality at all because even enthusiasts who run mainboards on open testbeds do not always use them. Ordinary users won't need such buttons at all. There is a BIOS reset button at the back panel which is a far more useful feature (even though we didn't have to use it during our tests). Gigabyte's mainboards have long been able to identify too high settings and can automatically boot up in safe mode. By the way, Gigabyte has corrected an annoying drawback of its mainboards: they used to reset their BIOS settings to their defaults and proceed to booting the OS up without telling the user a word about it. Now they issue a message to inform the user about the incident.
The Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) lacks a POST indicator but it is only useful in those rare cases when the mainboard is out of order. Mainboards usually work normally after all, so this feature is but rarely called for.
A mainboard based on the rather hot Intel X58 Express chipset should have an efficient cooling system. While being simpler than on the senior model, the cooling system of the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) is still quite sufficient. There is the same number of heatsinks on the same components, but they are just not combined into a single system with heat pipes. There is one heat pipe left, connecting two heatsinks. The mainboard is cooled properly both in default and overclocked mode.
There are three more points where the two mainboard models differ. First, the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) has fewer phases in the CPU voltage regulator. However, this didn't prevent it from overclocking our CPU to its maximum, consuming the same amount of power as the senior model at that. Second, it has only one network controller as opposed to the senior model's two. Two network controllers may be necessary for some complex network configurations, which is not a common scenario for a home computer. Besides, you can always buy an add-on network card for that purpose. Otherwise, the two models have the same accessories, BIOS options, and functionality (which is enhanced by means of numerous onboard controllers and includes modern interfaces USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gbps). Each has a practical PCB design and an exemplary back panel with a lot of connectors.
The third important point of difference is that the junior model is much cheaper. Its price is just a little higher than $200, which is very inexpensive for an LGA1366 product. While you can easily find a cheaper mainboard based on the Intel X58 Express, it can hardly be that functional.
We liked the senior model Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) but we must confess the junior Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) wins our sympathies now. It is inexpensive and but formally positioned as an entry-level product because it is actually just as good as the senior model and surpasses products from other manufacturers. Despite the UD3R suffix in its name, it is not alike to ordinary entry-level mainboards which are limited in some respects. Thanks to its broad functionality, the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) will make a good foundation for a high-performance modern computer.
We are proud to award Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) mainboard our Recommended Buy title:

Candid Records
Tenor and soprano saxophonist Vassilakis leads a trio that includes bassist Essiet Essiet and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts in a set of venturesome groove-based originals. For the most part, Vassilakis loops Essiet's bass ostinatos, then overdubs Watts' drums and his own saxes. As a result, the music, while melodically interesting, has an inorganic, hermetic quality. There's little interaction. Indeed, it's not entirely evident that the three were ever in the same room together.
Watts plays light-fingered grooves around Essiet's repeated figures without ever engaging the bassist. Vassilakis overdubs two saxes, playing-down the heads and improvising counterpoint. He has nice chops, plenty of energy and a modestly original approach, yet the overdubbed saxophones add an unwelcome layer of artifice. I appreciate Vassilakis' need to indulge his counterpoint jones, but the Dueling Dimitris thing is too incestuous for my taste. That's a shame, because I've little doubt that if these three played live, it would burn. We get a hint of that on the final cut, "The Drum Think," whereupon Vassilakis and Watts go one-on-one to some inspired ends. More of that would have been welcome. The rest is appealing on a certain level, but its canned nature works against it.

Ritchie Calls for Common Core Meeting in North Country
State senator Patty Ritchie is joining the fight against the state's rollout of new educational standards, known as Common Core.
On Monday, Ritchie asked New York Education Commissioner John King, in a letter, to come to the North country to talk about common core. King has been holding forums across the state on the new school guidelines that include increased testing and higher standards. Ritchie says she has received hundreds of complaints about common core from constituents and wants the north country to be part of the conversation.
"Now, you can't test a child on information they've never been taught. The teachers can't teach the children if they don't have the information to do so.
Ritchie says in her recent school survey, three out of four responders said they were concerned with the new standards.

gallon batch. If it finishes out at 1.012 your alcohol will be about 5.2% ABV. (Don't use any

St. Lawrence News
Local children have the opportunity for some "armchair travel"
through a program at St. Lawrence University's Brewer Bookstore and
students from a variety of nations.
In April, the Bookstore's Sunday afternoon story hour has an international
theme, with international students sharing stories, history and culture
from their home countries. Carolina De la Rosa Bustamante '10 from Colombia,
Leila Mahmoud '11 from Kenya, Iva Senicnjak '11 from Croatia and Khadeejah
Hamid '11 from Maldives are the volunteer story-tellers for the events,
which are well attended by children in the Canton area.
Bookstore Principal Clerk Paul Haggett says that following great response to
a Chinese New Year-themed event in February, he wanted to do additional events
incorporating international themes. Deborah Harrison, coordinator of international
student services, helped to recruit international
student volunteers, all of whom have enjoyed sharing information about
their home communities with young listeners. The events include maps, with
information about where the story-teller is from in relation to Canton, and
craft activities, as well as stories and picture-sharing.
