Great review Btarnur.
And again, golf-ball surface fans. Doesn't seem to bring much of an improvement, although they do perform very good.
I can't help but notice that it looks very much like a big sized version of my SD963 LOKI.
The mounting kit is just like mine. I wonder is these coolers are made by the same OEM and distributed by different brands, in my case, Xigamtek.
Very interesting. I was going to go with this but got a titan fenrir instead for the mounting bracket. Sounds like great value tho`
looks like a xiggy that someone peppered with a shotgun

The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to consider whether to grant review of the Defense of Marriage Act. This follows the recent appellate court decision declaring the 16-year-old law unconstitutional. Judges in New York and Boston have now said DOMA violates the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause and interferes with a state's right to set marriage eligibility requirements.
But the final word will come from the Supreme Court.

Cyclists travel 20 kilometres without going forward during SIAST fundraiser
The second annual Tour de Palliser was held at SIAST Palliser Campus on Thursday.
SIAST staff, students and community teams participated in the event to raise money for student scholarships.
Community teams included representatives from the City of Moose Jaw, the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce and lifeguards from the Kinsmen Sportsplex.
The participants competed on stationary bikes for 40 minutes trying to log the most miles.
"Where else can you have this much fun at work?" said Jim Large, the master of ceremonies of the event.
Two heats were set up for the teams. Each team was asked to dress up in costumes for the event to add to the fun.
"This has been a very successful event for us and we managed to increase the teams from eight to 11 this year," said Tawnia Stephanson, the donor and alumni relations co-ordinator at SIAST Palliser Campus.
Last year about $2,600 was raised at the event and this year the organizers hope to beat that number.
"We want to raise more money this year. All the money raised stays at Palliser campus," said Stephanson.
For more on this story, read Friday's Times-Herald.

South Wales Echo
It has two editions: the "News Extra" is sold in the morning, while the "City Final" is the evening edition.
It was founded in 1884. In 1930 it absorbed a slightly younger title, the Evening Express founded in 1887, which had become the Evening Express and Evening Mail in 1902, the South Wales Evening Express and Evening Mail in 1917 and finally the South Wales Evening Express and Evening Mail and Evening News in 1928. The merged title continued as the South Wales Echo and Evening Express until 1956, when it reverted to simply the South Wales Echo.
It's published by Media Wales Ltd (formerly Western Mail & Echo Ltd), which in turn is part of the Trinity Mirror group. It's a sister paper to both the Western Mail and Wales on Sunday. All of Media Wales's titles share a common website.
It moved in 2008 from Thomson House in Havelock Street to new offices in Park Street.

Ok we all know that Adrian Peterson is the number 1 overall pick and now with Farve opening up the running game I would expect Adrian to have a huge season. However, there are a number of running backs that are right on his tail and in point per reception leagues some can argue that Peterson might not even be the best player to take. Here is who I believe should be 2-5.
The Number 2 RB In Fantasy Football
By Frank ,
The fact is this guy is going to get all the touches this year - probably over 350 touches. That means a huge season. In points per reception leagues I personally think he will be the most valuable. Besides the 1400 yards he will run for..hes going to get you 70 receptions and probably 600 yards receiving and he gets all the goaline carries. Except for the Titans there really isnt a great run defense in his division. Expect huge numbers from MJD.
This one was tough but the fact is that Forte had a huge year last year without a passing game or a great offensive line. The Bears have improved their offensive line and Cutler will open up the running game bigtime for Forte. Plus the Bears will be in scoring position more often this year leading to more touchdowns.
This guy is what you call a football player. He will be even faster and bigger this year after adding some weight and muscle in the offseason. He is a blurr in the open field and the titans only break away threat which means he will have a ton of touches. The only knock is that White gets alot of the goaline carries but Chris Johnson is in line for a huge year.
Another great player! The rumor is that he added strength and weight in the offseason and hasnt lost any speed...now thats scary. Besides his rushing yards he proved to be a bigtime receiver out of the backfield. I would expect 60 or more receptions from him. Andrew Johnson opens up the running lanes for this guy and the Texans offensive line is probably the best its ever been in the franchises history. You can make a case for this guy to be number 2.

Completed in December 2012, the Olympic Ice Rink of Liege, Belgium is a glittering new leisure venue which branches off from the Mediacite, a banded shopping mall designed by Ron Arad Architects. Described by its architects L'Escaut Architectures as 'a whale covered in 200,000 aluminium scales', the solid silver mass is located on a former industrial site and clearly takes inspiration from this with its raw metallic finish. The project has been delivered by l'Escaut Weinand Momentary Association.
A rounded bulb at the rear of the complex indicates an entrance to the customer car park below ground, referred to as 'the whale's head'. The majority of the exterior is void of glass to ensure optimum insulation for the ice rink within however a square pane and smattering of tiny portholes punctuate the façade to shed some light on activities within. This external casing also protects the neighbouring buildings from any excess noise.
Much careful consideration has gone into the design of this rink to ensure that it is fit for both for public and professional use. L'Escaut details: "The interior space of the rink focuses on the heart of the matter: functionality, economy and pleasure. The inhabitants of Liege will recognise the seats of the former ice rink from Coronmeuse, hosted in the 'Grand Palais des fetes', built for the Universal Exhibition of 1939."
Capable of hosting international competitions, the facility has 1,200 seats and a surface area of 6,700 sq m. Keeping the ice sheet at optimum skating quality are a series of systems including: an outer shell with an insulation factor of K22; 2 refrigeration units developing 1,000 kW coupled with 4 sets of air coolers; and a ventilation system with a flow rate of 60,000 cb m/hr for dehumidifying the air of the rink. There is also the option to connect to the adjacent mall heating system to recycle excess energy at a later date.

New Program Defiance College Hires Allen as First Coach
from press release
DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College athletics department has announced that it has hired Jason Allen as the head coach of the new women's lacrosse program. The team will begin in 2012-2013, with a full varsity schedule planned for 2013-2014.
"We are happy with the addition of Coach Allen and the women's lacrosse program to our athletics department," said Defiance College Athletics Director Jenni Morrison. "Jason has a lot of local ties and we are excited to see where he can take this program."
The DC women's lacrosse program will compete as a club program throughout the 2012-2013 year, before becoming the 22nd NCAA Division III sponsored sport offered at Defiance College for the 2013-2014 campaign.
The addition of women's lacrosse is the latest for a rapidly growing athletics program at Defiance College and comes on the heels of the Yellow Jackets adding a men's lacrosse program, which is set to compete as a varsity program in the spring of 2013. DC is also in the midst of its first men's and women's swimming and diving season.
"Defiance College has added four new teams in the last 18 months and will open the brand new George M. Smart Athletic Center in January," stated Morrison. "We are continuing to provide our current and future student-athletes with outstanding new opportunities to excel."
Allen comes to Defiance College after one year as an assistant with the women's lacrosse team at NCAA Division II Tiffin University and five seasons as the head coach at Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, Ohio.
"I am excited to start my career as the head coach here at Defiance College," stated Allen. "To build a program from scratch has always been something that I have wanted to do and there is no better place than right here in Defiance, centrally located between Toledo, Cleveland and Columbus, which are three of Ohio's four biggest lacrosse cities."
Allen has coached women's lacrosse for seven years and also has over a decade of experience coaching soccer at the high school level. Allen will look to use those ties throughout the deep regional recruiting base during his time at DC, after more than doubling his squad size in his stint at Notre Dame Academy.
Allen is United States Lacrosse Level 1 certified and earned a bachelor's degree in education from Tennessee Technological University in 2003.
"The staff and faculty here at Defiance College have accepted me with open arms and have helped me transition smoothly into my new position," Allen added. "I could not ask for more."
Defiance College is currently set to compete as a member of the 14-team Midwest Lacrosse Conference, starting in the spring of 2014.

Olivier Messiaen's "Vingt regards sur l'enfant-Jésus"
To say that Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur L'Enfant-Jesus (Twenty Contemplations on the Infant Jesus) is a masterpiece is a gross understatement. Over sixty years after its composition, it has rightfully earned the recognition of being one of the most important piano works of the 20th century. ... [It] is one of the most personal and intimate pieces Messiaen ever wrote, and it gives the listener a close look at Messiaen the person. Messiaen was a deeply religious person, and although his faith influenced every single piece he wrote, the Vingt Regards is almost like his own personal spiritual diary. - Keith Kerchoff [more inside]

Peter Jackson's "Braindead"
Between Peter Jackson's penchant for cartoonish unserious gore and Bob McCarron's off-screen makeup effects manipulations, Braindead achieves something that approaches inspired genius in the heretofore unknown artform of human carnage. The film is filled with moments of joyous slapstick tableaux... And then there is that moment where Braindead finally breaks through to achieve a transcendentally surreal glory of excess where Tim Balme wades into battle against the zombies armed with a lawnmower, drenching an entire room in showers of blood. (Braindead holds the record for the greatest amount of artificial blood ever used in a film). The film is a work of perverse genius. - Richard Scheib

With their brutal, simple riffs and aggressive, fast tempos, Accept were one of the top metal bands of the early '80s, and a major influence on the development of thrash.

Thomas Ligotti
... [Thomas] Ligotti's stories tend to have a profound emotional impact. His vision is exceedingly dark, and it is possible for his stories to infect the reader with a mild-to-severe case of depression. It is even possible for them to effect a change in the reader's self-perception and view of the universe. This warning is not meant to be sensationalistic, nor is it meant to turn new readers away. It is simply a statement of fact based upon the experiences of actual readers. Ligotti writes about the darkest of themes with an amazing power, and he means what he says. Often his stories seem to communicate a message below their surface, a sort of subliminal statement that should not rightly be able to traverse the barrier of verbal language. - Matt Cardin (previously) [more inside]

The 225th anniversary of Mozart's "Don Giovanni"
225 years ago today, in the Teatro di Praga, there premiered a new opera - conducted by the 31 year old composer, who was in demand after his success in Vienna the year before. Although he had completed the overture less than 24 hours earlier, the opera was an instant smash - with the composer being "welcomed joyously and jubilantly by the numerous gathering". In the years to come, Kierkegaard would agree with the French composer Charles Gounod that the opera was "a work without blemish, of uninterrupted perfection". Flaubert would call it one of "the three finest things God made". Today, it is the 10th most performed opera in the world. It is Mozart's Don Giovanni (spoiler). [more inside]

Mr. A debuted in 1967, in the third issue of Witzend, a collection of more artistically fulfilling side projects by mainstream comics professionals led by Wally Wood. In his very first panel, the Objectivist hero addresses his readers directly, stating his case that in moral life, there are no shades of gray, only evil or good, black or white. The hero stares at us, blank, emotionless. There's a montage around him showing that his calm face is actually a metal mask, and that evil is truly disgusting. At the story's end, Mr. A. beats up a nasty juvenile delinquent, ironically named Angel, and then allows the kid to fall to his death from a city rooftop. - Pat Barrett [more inside]

Michelangelo Antonioni's "The Passenger"
[all links may contain SPOILERS] Antonioni's unique style works beautifully in The Passenger. The dream-like long takes, especially the final seven minute one where the dusty town square is seen through the barred window of Locke's hotel room—evokes a world that he is barred from. There is nothing romantic or sentimental about the space that we see, but it conveys a sense of an ongoing life that Locke has chosen to retreat from. There is also Antonioni's eye for aesthetic detail-for whitewashed walls of buildings, and vividly colored backgrounds like yellow doors and red car seats. He is a director of great formal rigor and beauty, whose style effortlessly suits his vision. The slow rhythm of the film may put off some viewers, but it forces them to be more observant, and understand there is nothing accidental in the images that Antonioni constructs. - Leonard Quart [more inside]

Wendy Melvoin is fresh from high school. She is a wearing a V-necked sleeveless top, and patterned shorts.

Wendy is nineteen and she has the high cheekbones and diffident confidence of a Hollywood upbringing. She half-smiles at the faces that crowd close to the low club stage. This is Wendy's first gig with the new band, and the song she is playing is "Purple Rain," and nobody in the audience has ever heard "Purple Rain" before because this is the night that Prince and the Revolution record the song.

My So-Called Life
There are some TV shows that last for years and years, and when they finally go away, they're barely missed. And then there is the phenomenon of the TV show that dies quickly but leaves an indelible mark. Ten years ago, ABC fielded such a show: My So-Called Life, produced by the thirtysomething team of Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, premiered on Thursday, August 25, 1994 -- and was quickly reduced to ratings rubble by another new 8 p.m. series, NBC's Friends. But in 19 sublime episodes, Life left a lasting pop-culture legacy. Not only did it launch the careers of Claire Danes and Jared Leto, it defined the modern family drama -- and has influenced an entire generation of television writers. Says Greg Berlanti, the creator of The WB's Everwood and Jack & Bobby, ''It's the most painfully honest portrayal of adolescence ever on television.''

Once Upon A Time In America [auto-play audio] is the last of a string of films about the past and future of a country [Sergio Leone] knew first and best from the B-movies and yellowing paperbacks America sent abroad. For this 1984 swan song, Leone broke a directing hiatus that stretched back a decade, and turned away from Westerns toward another quintessentially American genre.

Whether they succeeded in that goal is a good question, and one I shan't address. Crisis is, however, incredibly important to understanding DC continuity, as well as being possibly the most significant crossover series of all time.

Anna Akhmatova
Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935–40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her style, characterised by its economy and emotional restraint, was strikingly original and distinctive to her contemporaries. The strong and clear leading female voice struck a new chord in Russian poetry. Her writing can be said to fall into two periods – the early work (1912–25) and her later work (from around 1936 until her death), divided by a decade of reduced literary output. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate, and remaining in Russia, acting as witness to the atrocities around her. [more inside]

Buckaroo Banzai is paradoxically decades ahead of its time and yet completely of its time; it's profoundly a movie by, for, and of geeks and nerds at a time before geek/nerd culture was mainstreamed, and a movie whose pre-CG special effects and pre-Computer Age production design were an essential part of its good-natured enthusiasm. What at the time was a hip, modern take on classic SF is now, almost thirty years later, almost indistinguishable from the SF cinema that inspired it in terms of the appeal to modern viewers: the charmingly old-fashioned special effects, and the comparatively innocent earnestness of its tone. - Danny Bowes [more inside]

Jo Ann Kelly
The rock era saw a few white female singers, like Janis Joplin, show they could sing the blues. But one who could outshine them all -- Jo Ann Kelly -- seemed to slip through the cracks, mostly because she favored the acoustic, Delta style rather than rocking out with a heavy band behind her. But with a huge voice, and a strong guitar style influenced by Memphis Minnie and Charley Patton, she was the queen. - AllMusic [more inside]
The Business of Bond
Like James Bond movies? And box office grosses? And visualized data? Then today is your lucky day.
James Salter's "A Sport and a Pastime"
James Salter's A Sport and a Pastime is one of those very rare novels that seems not so much to have been written as discovered. At its heart is a love story, an encounter, that transforms its relatively ordinary protagonists into beings around whom the entire cosmos shapes itself. The love story is delicate and ephemeral, put together out of bits and pieces, like a bird's nest. The vulnerable lovers tremble, in the most mundane circumstances, on the edge of catastrophe. Simply the way one of them moves across the room to meet the other seems miraculous and hazardous. Were they to become aware of themselves everything would be lost. But there is no danger of that. Oblivious, they tiptoe on a precipice. They do not and cannot know that their innocence cloaks them in a kind of divinity and infallibility. Actions and attitudes we expect to bring them down don't. They do things that seem so perfect, so poignant, without knowing they are doing anything at all. They arc beautifully across our path, and then vanish. - Michael Doliner (previously) [more inside]
The other film adaptation of J.G. Ballard's "Crash"
Long before the David Cronenberg film (NSFW: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), before even the publication of the novel, Harley Cokeliss directed Crash! (1, 2) - a short film adapted from the story in J.G. Ballard's The Atrocity Exhibition, starring Ballard himself and Gabrielle Drake (sister of Nick Drake). (previously) [more inside]

Hi, Im trying to find a parametric equation of a line through (2,3,0) and perpendicular to vectors u = i+2j+3k and v = 3i+4j+5k?
To do this I think i need a parallel vector, how do i get this? is it something to do with the cross product?

Imagine walking into your local Home Depot store and buying a solar panel, attaching it to your roof with 4 screws and plugging your extension cord right into it for instant 24-hour power.
Onyx Service & Solutions (ONYX.OB) is developing a 280 watt high efficiency Plug-N-Play solar panel that incorporates a micro-inverter, which bypasses complicated wiring and installation requirements.
"Our Plug-N-Play product potentially represents a new era for solar power. Being able to lay a panel in the sun and immediately plug in a computer, fan or even a medical device is a game changer. The battery is being designed with the goal of providing at least 5-hours of peak power and the panels are being engineered to fit together in series for virtually unlimited power configurations," says president Malcolm Burleson. "As an American company, we feel it is our duty to manufacture this technology in the U.S. and use it to create as many American solar jobs that economic prudence allows. We want our revolutionary product to carry the Made in USA label."

The Arizona State Sun Devils and Washington State Cougars will kickoff Week 10 of the college football season in Pullman Thursday night.
ASU is back in the Top 25 and looking to get their first win as a ranked team this year, while the Cougars are looking to stop the bleeding after losing three of their last four games.
The Sun Devils are coming off of a bye week but haven't fared well on the road so far in 2013. ASU has lost both of their games away from Tempe this year and lost a shocker in Pullman two years ago.
Washington State comes into Thursday's game having lost two straight but boast one of the nation's most prolific passing attacks.
There should be plenty of offensive fireworks to go around when these two teams face off.
Here is all the information you need to know about the matchup.
Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
Location: Martin Stadium, Pullman, Washington
Television: ESPN
Radio: Sun Devil IMG Sports Network, Washington State IMG Sports Network
Spread: ASU 11.5, according to Vegas.com.

Addressing participation issues
LAUSD's enrollments have been in a slow decline, about three percent a year, since 2007. Meanwhile, participation in senior high schools was under 20%, despite 80% free and reduced price eligibility. The low levels weren't for lack of trying—in 2007, up to 15 different entrée choices were offered daily across the system—but choice wasn't the core issue. "The community perceived our food as highly processed, of poor quality and not ...

I'm going to side with State on this issue. I thought the writer did more to take shots at State than address the issues of concern.
Karl Hess abused his power, football expansion in 2003 was the right thing to do and in hindsight it still is, even in that expansion still gave NCSU 2 games with Duke and Carolina every year. If it was not for State fans who knows what else UNC-Cheat would have gotten away with. Their anger is some what justifiable.
"And that's all I have to say about that"
The idea of quiting because you can't beat someone is the definition of being a loser. What winners do is get better and beat them straight up. Nobody is stopping NCSU from winning…the fact that they lost to Clemson today while on the bubble is inexcusable.
Yeah State fans are who got Carolina in trouble…right.
Siding with State on this one as well. I guess speaking your mind and standing up for yourself is wrong.
I am the enemy. The enemies won.
If you're happy with good enough, then good enough is what you'll be. Greatness requires the expectation of excellence.
Not surprised.
The ACC's new logo:
LOL thats a good one. So fitting.
Makes sense to me since Carolina and Duke are the ones whose coat tails you two get to ride…that rivalry is why ESPN paid as much as they did for television rights.
God knows your tv contract aint carried by Clemson or NCSU football…I hope that can change so we can all cash in because you are right it is football that is the big money, but the football schools need to step up.
SoPinesHeel - 25 February 2012 09:30 PMThe idea of quiting because you can't beat someone is the definition of being a loser.

Nature's water filtration system comes in a small, hard-shelled package. Bivalves, such as oysters, mussels, and clams, naturally remove suspended sediment and nutrients from waterways.As filter feeders, bivalves filter water to find food. In the process, bivalves remove nitrogen from the water and pull suspended sediment from the water column to deposit on the waterbody floor, said Stephanie Westby, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Oyster Coordinator and Environmental Engineer. Removing nutrients from water reduces the algal blooms that can reduce lowered levels of dissolved oxygen. Removing sediments reduces clouded water and enables sunlight that is needed for the health of aquatic ecosystem to penetrate the water.
Ask some long-time residents of Los Angeles, and they'll respond that not having a car is not an option for living in the most populated metropolis in the United States. But for visitors to downtown L.A. — the site of the 84th Annual Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) Technical Exhibition and Conference, WEFTEC® 2011 — immense changes have made this once desolate neighborhood one of the most walkable areas in the country. "The downtown has really improved tremendously," said Jim Clark, senior vice president and managing director of Black & Veatch (Overland Park, Kan.) and local resident of more than 35 years. Clark is on the WEFTEC Advisory Committee and serves as the California WEF member of the planning committee. Fifteen years ago, "nobody even wanted to walk in that part of town," but locals are now referring to it as a "mini Times Square," Clark said.
The Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) released a new Manual of Practice (MOP) last year that provides in-depth scientific information on nutrient removal topics. Nutrient Removal, MOP 34 includes information taken from a previous WEF special publication published in 1998 that has been improved and built on, according to Bruce Johnson, task force chair for the MOP and project manager at CH2M Hill (Englewood, Colo.). "This [book] is meant to be more of a scientific basis for nutrient removal," Johnson said. "The main use of this is understanding the theory behind nutrient removal so that people can be more effective at designing nutrient removal systems."

Given globalization, increased competition, and constant technological turnover, no organization can run in place: change is not optional. However, the sad fact is that the vast majority of change efforts fail. As... more...

Mill Creek man arrested for fleeing
A Mill Creek man was arrested Thursday for leading police on a high-speed chase Sunday.
Wesley Allen Adkinson, 28, was charged with fleeing in a vehicle, a felony, and is being held on a $10,000 cash-or-surety bond in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail, where he remained as of presstime.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's office, Randolph County Sheriff's deputies R.H. Foster and B.T. Sharp were traveling south on Channell Road near Mill Creek around 6 p.m. when they saw a green Chevrolet pick-up truck traveling north toward them at a high rate of speed.
Adkinson, the driver, was allegedly left of center, forcing Foster to pull his cruiser onto the shoulder of the road. Foster turned around and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but was unable to do so because of the high rate of speed at which Adkinson's truck was traveling, according to the complaint.
Officers eventually lost "visual contact" with Adkinson, whose vehicle was subsequently discovered "in the ditch into an embankment" on the left hand side of the road.
Witnesses on scene informed officers that Adkinson had fled into the woods on foot. Police searched the area but were unable to immediately apprehend Adkinson.

I had a few moments this evening and a desire to tweak, so I added a shortcut to the Petopia Pet Database that makes it easier to find pets with known skills. Now, when you are using the Pet Database, you can set Known Skills to "Any". This will show you creatures that know any skill at all when they are tamed.
This is particularly useful when combined with a zone — for instance, you can find any pets in Darkshore that know a skill already so you can see what your young night elf hunter can learn there. Alternatively, if you just hit level 32, you might see what skills are available on level 32 pets.

Funds give Italian real estate their blessing
Interest in Italy's real estate market is continuing to attract foreign fund managers as expectations of a market recovery rise. Private equity and hedge fund groups are exploring ways to build exposure as investors push for new yield opportunities in today's low-interest rate environment.
Last month, Quantum Strategic Partners, the private fund managed by Soros Fund Management, became the third largest investor in Italian shopping centre group Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione when it purchased a 5% stake for approximately €19.7 million.
Also, in recent days, Blackstone's Oceano Immobiliare has tendered a bid to buy out the Atlantic 1 real estate fund managed by IDeA Fimit – a listed closed-end fund with about €271 million in assets under management.
With such industry heavyweights turning their focus on Italy, the inference is that economic conditions are improving.
James Seppala, senior managing director at Blackstone, said: "There is improving macroeconomic confidence both domestically and from the international community. Owners of real estate are willing to transact at market levels rather than at their historic cost or peak pricing. As a result, transaction volumes last year were up 80%, a trend which is continuing this year."
Seppala said the reason for the bid for the Atlantic 1 fund was that its asset base is concentrated in and around Milan and Rome and "let to institutional tenants".
Two popular routes into Italian real estate are through investing in real estate investment trusts, which trade as companies on the Italian stock exchange, or through listed closed-end funds, the option taken by Blackstone and other managers.
Prelios SGR, an Italian real estate fund manager with about €4 billion in assets under management, runs two closed-end funds – the Olinda and Tecla funds.
The firm has recently received a number of buyout bids for its €400 million Olinda fund, which invests in Italian retail assets including shopping centres.
Hot property
Paolo Scordino, chief executive of Prelios SGR, said: "I think investors are looking more at listed closed-end funds because they feel there is a turnaround in the Italian real estate market. The retail market is hotting up."
Both the Tecla and Olinda funds come to the end of their investment cycle in December. Plans are afoot to extend both funds by two to three years, pending approval from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Last year, the Tecla and Olinda funds returned average dividend yields of 10% and 5%, respectively. Scordino said that a renewed focus on improving the underlying assets in both funds, achieved by prolonging rental contracts and reducing vacancy levels, should lead to improved dividend yields. He added: "The rents are more stable and this is helping produce more predictable cashflows in both funds."
The Olinda fund is currently trading at €177. This is still some way off its price peak of €383 in February 2011 but a clear improvement on its trading price of €86 at the end of November 2012.
It is this kind of recovery in performance that is pushing foreign fund managers into action. But not everyone is going down the closed-end path.
Cygnus Asset Management is a Madrid-based event-driven hedge fund manager. The firm's Europa Event Driven fund has recently built a position to exploit the discount opportunity in Beni Stabili, an Italian real estate investment trust that, according to Cygnus analyst Andrew Sentance, has the potential to return solid double-digit returns over the next couple of years. One attraction of Italy is that real estate assets are trading at discounts to their net asset value, he said.
Sentance said: "The discounts to net asset value are much larger than in the rest of Europe. Beni Stabili has a net asset value of around €0.95 and it's currently trading at around €0.65. IGD is trading at €1.30 and has a net asset value of around €2.1, offering a 40% discount to net asset value."
Beni Stabili is the only position that Cygnus is holding. While not ruling out the opportunity to find discount opportunities within closed-end funds, Sentance said that the underlying assets are such a mixed bag that "you almost have to go through every building in each fund" and assess accordingly.
If Cygnus were to invest in real estate funds, it would set up a separate fund vehicle. Asked whether this was an option on the table, José Luis Pérez Esteve, portfolio manager of the Europa Event Driven fund, said: "We are always looking at different opportunities, and if it matches the needs of our clients we will do it."
Sentance confirmed that he would be happy to close out the position in Beni Stabili when it gets to €0.80, which could take anywhere between 18 months and two years. This would amount to a 32% return.
He said: "As well as the discount to net asset value, the reason we like Beni Stabili is that its debt costs are unreasonably high. It is financing itself at 4.5% on average across the portfolio and our view is that they could get that down by 0.5%. Their debt is around €2.2 billion so that would save them €10 million to €20 million."
Blackstone's Seppala said that the buyout bid for the Atlantic 1 fund was not necessarily part of a wider strategy. He added: "We analyse real estate vehicles, including funds, across Europe on a regular basis so indirect purchases of real estate assets, as was the case for Atlantic 1, sometimes provide attractive entry points into the underlying assets."
The closed-end space appears to present more of an "opportunistic" way for managers to play the Italian real estate theme and, perhaps, explains why firms like Prelios have received buyout bids for their funds. There is no obvious glut of forced sellers in the secondary market. This is why firms like Blackstone are bidding to purchase entire funds.
Jared Herman, president of Hedgebay Securities, which connects buyers and sellers of hedge fund and other illiquid assets in the secondary market, said: "You can always find someone who is a forced seller but, generally speaking, people sell because they are liquidating, it's too expensive to maintain the position or it's a small percentage of their portfolio. It's become a bit lopsided in terms of demand versus supply right now, whereas post-2009 there was definitely an imbalance the other way."
Structured credit
Another option for gaining access to Italy's real estate market is by purchasing bonds backed by commercial assets or property loans as Italian banks look to scrub up their balance sheets.
A prominent asset manager that invests in structured credit markets said that Italy is certainly on its radar. It confirmed that pockets of capital had been put to work, both directly in real estate assets and in loans and securitised paper, but added that "whilst we see value in Italy, for us it's more of a long-term play over the next few years".
For every €100 million of non-performing loans coming out of Italy, there is €1 billion coming out of Spain, a partner at the firm added. He said: "The assets in Italy are not as distressed, they're not sitting on the same level of [non-performing loans] as Spain."
One hedge fund that is steering clear of Italy altogether is Ellington Management Group.
Daniel Turner, managing director at Ellington, said: "We're not looking at Italy because we're not as comfortable with its legal framework. For the time being, we're focusing on the UK, Ireland, Spain and Germany."
As well as buying UK and Spanish bonds backed by residential mortgages, Ellington has also bid on whole pools of residential and commercial loans in the UK as well as pools of real estate loans being sold by Spanish banks.
Turner added: "We wouldn't have the same level of comfort buying Italian non-performing loans. For us it would be too prohibitive on a risk-adjusted basis."
Scordino said there were reasons to be bullish on Italian real estate and not just listed closed-end funds. He confirmed that, in the past four months, Prelios has launched three non-listed closed-end funds to satisfy growing demand among institutional investors.
Scordino said: "If you are a good manager, you can find interesting opportunities in terms of value and dividend yield. We've raised €300 million in total for the three funds."
Fund managers are exploring various roads into real estate assets, many of which lead to Rome.

Compatibility and Installation Tips
Thermalright Archon is compatible with all contemporary platforms and it installs exactly the same way as Thermalright Venomous X. the installation procedure is described in detail in two manuals: for Intel and for AMD processors.
If you install the cooler onto an LGA1366 mainboard, the memory slot next to the processor socket will never be blocked. Moreover, there will be an additional 10-15 mm gap (depending on the mainboard) between the closest memory slot and the cooler fan:
This is another unique peculiarity of Thermalright Archon: it can be used in systems with tall memory heat-spreaders. I have to remind you that the distance between the contact surface of the cooler base and the lowest heatsink plate is 42.6 mm, which should also cause absolutely no interference issues with the heatsinks over the voltage regulator components. At the same time, however, there may be problems with the side panel of the system case, which may not be able to close (which is our case: the side panel of our Antec Twelve Hundred system case hit against the heatpipe ends of this tall CPU cooler). That is why we had to keep the side panel removed during our test session.
Technical Specifications and Recommended Pricing
Testbed and Methods
Since we couldn't close the side panel in our system case with Thermalright Archon cooler installed, we performed all tests inside a system case with a removed side panel. Here is our testbed configuration:
- Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-X58-UD9 (Intel X58 Express, LGA 1366, BIOS F5g);
- Processor: Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, 3.33 GHz, 1.225 V, 6 x 256 KB L2, 12 MB L3 (Gulftown, B1);
- Thermal interface: Arctic Cooling MX-2;
- Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit, 850/4800 MHz;
- Memory: DDR3 3 x 2 GB OCZ Platinum Low-Voltage Triple Channel (Spec: 1600MHz / 7-7-7-24 / 1.65 V);
- System drive: RAID-0 of 2 x Kingston V-series SNV425S2128GB SSD (SATA-II, 128 GB, MLC, Toshiba TC58NCF618G3T controller);
- Drive for programs and games: Western Digital VelociRaptor (300GB, SATA-II, 10000 RPM, 16MB cache, NCQ) inside Scythe Quiet Drive 3.5" HDD silencer and cooler;
- Backup drive: Samsung Ecogreen F4 HD204UI (SATA-II, 2 TB, 5400 RPM, 32 MB, NCQ);
- System case: Antec Twelve Hundred (front panel: three Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe S-Series MF12-S2 fans at 900 RPM; back panel: two Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPRO PL-1 fans at 900 RPM; top panel: standard 200 mm fan at 400 RPM; side panel removed);
- Control and monitoring panel: Zalman ZM-MFC2;
- Power supply: Xigmatek "No Rules Power" NRP-HC1501 1500 W (with a default 140 mm fan).
When we tested the coolers with fans installed, we overclocked our six-core processor (with its default protuberant heat-spreader) with the multiplier set at 25x and "Load-Line Calibration" enabled to 4.46 GHz. The nominal processor Vcore was increased to 1.45625 V in the mainboard BIOS:
Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technologies were disabled during our test session. The memory voltage was at 1.64 V and its frequency was 1.49 GHz (7-7-7-16_1T timings). All other parameters available in the mainboard BIOS and related to CPU or memory overclocking remained unchanged.
All tests were performed under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 operating system. We used the following software during our test session:
- Linpack 64-bit with LinX shell version 0.6.4 – to create maximum CPU load (5 Linpack runs in each cycle with 4750 MB RAM capacity involved);
- Real Temp GT 3.60 – to monitor the processor core temperature;
- CPU-Tweaker 1.5 – to visually monitor temperatures and frequencies using graphics.
So, the complete screenshot during the test session looks as follows:
The CPU was loaded with two consecutive Linpack x64 test runs with the settings as indicated above. The stabilization period for the CPU temperature between the two test cycles was about 8-10 minutes. We took the maximum temperature of the hottest CPU core for the results charts. Moreover, we will also provide a table with the temperature readings for all cores including their average values. The ambient temperature was checked next to the system case with an electronic thermometer with 0.1 °C precision that allows hourly monitoring of the temperature changes over the past 6 hours. The room temperature during our test session varied between the annoying 23.4-23.8 °C.
We are going to compare Thermalright Archon against ThermoLab Baram 2010, which is one of the best coolers with similar design:
This cooler was tested with two Thermalright TR-FDB 120 mm fans, which were installed for air intake and exhaust with the airflow directed towards the back of the system case. All tests were performed in two modes: at 1200 RPM and at maximum rotation speed of 2000 RPM.
As for our today's hero, Thermalright Archon, we tested it with its default Thermalright TY-140 fan at 600, 800, 1000 and ~1300 RPM. Besides that, we also ran the tests with two such fans in the same speed modes and with two powerful Scythe Slip Stream 140 (SM1425SL12H) fans at the maximum speed of 1690 RPM:
Of course, we couldn't help including the results of the ultimate winner – Thermalright Silver Arrow cooler tested with two TY-140 fans in two speed modes: in quiet mode at 810 RPM and in maximum speed mode at 1310 RPM. I would also like to add that all fan speeds were set by changing the voltage of our special controller with ±10 RPM precision.

QB: Here's what we know:
- Kirk Cousins, at the very least, has proven that he is a competent backup. He may be more.
- Rex Grossman is a free agent.
Here's what we don't know:
- When will Robert Griffin III be ready to play?
There are a number of good QBs in the upcoming draft, which makes for an interesting scenario for the Skins. If RG3 hadn't torn his ACL, the Skins might be inclined to draft a 3rd young QB to groom along with the two kids already in place. Since you already know you have a couple of hits in RG3 and Cousins, if the Skins wanted to carry 3 QBs, why not spend a mid-late round pick on a project? But alas, RG3 did tear his ACL, so that could mean that Grossman could be back, or perhaps some other veteran scrub-a-dub. The way the Skins address the QB position during free agengy could be a clue into what the Redskins really think of RG3's timeline for return.
RB: I like what the Redskins have at running back, but Mike Shanahan's love of drafting that position can't be overlooked. In 17 years of coaching (which doesn't include his short stint in Oakland), the Broncos & Redskins drafted 18 running backs under Mike Shanahan. The list of picks:
I kind of get it. Running backs get battered more than any other position on the field so it makes sense to bring in fresh blood every year, particularly in the later rounds, although I don't see it as a position of need.
WR: I've seen some people consider WR a need for the Skins because they don't have that "#1 WR" kind of guy. Would it be nice to have that kind of player? Sure. But can you win with a deep group of "good not great" receivers? You sure can. Pierre Garcon is one of the best players in the league at getting yards after the catch, and Josh Morgan showed similar abilities once he had the ball in his hands. Meanwhile, Aldrick Robinson is a guy that has shown he can stretch the field and made huge plays with his speed. That trio has the potential of being very good.
The unwritten definition of a "#1 WR" is a guy that forces opposing defenses to game plan specifically for that player, a guy that attracts significantly more attention, and makes it easier for his teammates to be successful. Say, for example, like this:
The problem is that Calvin Johnsons don't grow on trees. Take a look at the teams that made the playoffs this year, and let's examine if a "#1 WR" resides on their roster:
- 49ers: No
- Ravens: No
- Atlanta: Yes
- Patriots: Yes
- Packers: No
- Seahawks: No
- Broncos: Yes
- Texans: Yes
- Redskins: No
- Vikings: No
- Bengals: Yes
- Colts: No
31% of the teams that made the playoffs had a quote-unquote "#1 WR."
The one guy that got a fair share of snaps last season that has not impressed me is Leonard Hankerson. Plus, Santana Moss is set to make $4.15 million this season – The Skins will have to make a decision there. Shanahan is wide receiver collector, so it wouldn't surprise me if they add in a few guys. However, I like what they have at the top, and I think that having a "#1 WR," while certainly a valuable luxury, is not imperative to a successful offense… and it's not like they're easy to find.
TE: If you read this site regularly, you know how much I like Fred Davis. But he's a free agent, and the franchise tag number for TEs this season is estimated at $5.962 million. If the Redskins choose to tag Davis, they'll have to do so at $6.54 million, which is 120% of what he made last season. That's a steep price for a guy coming back from a torn Achilles and some questionable off the field stuff.
Logan Paulsen is a nice role player, and Niles Paul remains a project at TE. Regardless of whether the Skins are able to bring back Davis, this is absolutely a position that could be addressed, as it's one that can be a significant weapon in the Skins' offense.
OL: The Skins' OL missed 1593 snaps in 2011:
That OL was a disaster.
In 2012, with basically the same personnel to begin the season, swapping out an ineffective Jammal Brown for an ineffective Tyler Polumbus, they only missed 239:
That 2012 version of the OL was monumentally better than the 2011 version, but still lacks depth. Josh LeRibeus was a 3rd round pick last year, but we don't quite know what he is yet, and the Skins have almost nothing in the way of depth at OT. They cannot count on the good health the OL was fortunate to have last season to continue. (On a side note, I'm contractually obligated to mention Josh LeRibeus' male modeling career whenever his name comes up.)
What the Skins do have at this point is nice continuity. Kory Lichtensteiger is a free agent, and a player that, based solely on talent, can be replaced rather easily. However, due to the continuity the Skins have developed, he's probably worth more to the Skins than any other team. It makes sense to bring him back, as long as some other dopey team out there doesn't make him a dumb offer.
Tyler Polumbus is also a free agent. The Skins need an upgrade there regardless of whether or not he re-signs with the team. I still believe the OL remains a significant need area.
DE: Stephen Bowen had 6 sacks in 2011. He had 1 last year. I'm not worried about Bowen. He's a good player and should have plenty left in the tank, at 29 years of age. I am, however, worried about DE depth. Jarvis Jenkins was OK in 2012, and should only get better better, but there's very little beyond that.
DT: I am an enormous Barry Cofield fan. He a good pass rusher, he's smart, he hustles his ass off, an he's a guy that his teammates respect. However, he's not the best run stopping NT you'll find. I originally questioned Cofield's fit as a NT in the 3-4 when the Skins plugged him in there, and still think it's a bad fit, in the sense that Cofield's talents aren't being maximized there. However, Cofield is such a good player that he has made it work to some degree. The Skins should think hard about getting a better run-stuffer to ease Cofield's workload on traditional running downs.
OLB: No worries here, in my opinion. Ryan Kerrigan is a 10-year NFL starter, Brian Orakpo will be returning, and Rob Jackson made a number of HUGE plays this season when he had to sub in for Orakpo. Good to go.
ILB: Is London Fletcher retiring? If not, the Skins have themselves another 1-year reprieve in which Keenan Robinson has a chance to develop. If he does retire, Fletcher will leave an obvious hole in the middle of the Skins' D. One positive from the 2012 was the play of Perry Riley, who looks like he's a legitimate starting ILB, although I might be worried how he'll play if Fletcher's assignment calling duties were to be passed on to Riley. Another potential short-term replacement at ILB could be Lorenzo Alexander, who is a free agent.
CB: DeAngelo Hall is set to make $7.5 million this season. Hall has the occasional big game (Dez Bryant last season), but there is no way in hell the Skins can justify paying that kind of money to a guy who is more often bad than he is good. Can they get him to restructure? If not, ga'bye. Josh Wilson remains a decent starter, and Richard Crawford showed some glimpses that he can play. But clearly, this is a position that needs to be addressed.
S: Brandon Meriweather played half of one game last season (against Philly), and he was awesome. Unfortunately, the following is on Meriweather's resume:
- He played a grand total of 44 snaps last season.
- Two teams gave up on him in less than a full calendar year.
- He was pulled over at 2:54 AM last April, and refused a breathalyzer test.
- During an on-field brawl when he was in college at Miami, he kicked a few opposing players.
- He has been involved in bizarre circumstances, like the time someone was charged with raping a woman in his home, and the time he was involved in a gun fight in which one of his teammates was shot. He was never charged with any crimes stemming from those two incidents.
Meriweather is by far the most talented of the Skins' safeties, and it's not even close. But would you want to hitch your wagon to him? Meriweather aside, unless DeJon Gomes makes a big leap in his 3rd year, the Skins do not have any other safeties worthy of starting in the NFL. Safety is clearly the Skins' biggest need this offseason.
K/P: Kai Forbath will be back. Sav Rocca is a free agent.
