Blood-boosting Procrit is Johnson & Johnson's biotech superstar. Behind its various brand names, it ranks as Medicare's most reimbursed drug. But Procrit performs frighteningly well, and can stimulate so many blood cells that thousands of patients die in unexplained and painful ways. And that's not all: Cancer patients, who often receive injections, are never warned that the drug stimulates tumor growth, too, prompting one leading hematologist to dub it "Miracle-Gro for cancer".
While patients have no clue about the risks behind this poorly tested drug, Johnson & Johnson sales rep Mark Duxbury knows precisely what is happening - the pharma behemoth is blatantly marketing overdoses of the drug. Duxbury tries to warn his superiors and is forced to testify in a secret court about illegal schemes. But his honesty costs him his career. Humiliated and ignored for years, Duxbury is ultimately betrayed in a shockingly cruel way. The psychological trauma drives him to attempt suicide, yet he fights on for several more years until the heartbreaking end. A Civil Action's Jan Schlichtmann has taken on the case, and is back in federal district court in Massachusetts. And all the while, Johnson & Johnson has continued to push sales of Procrit.
Blood Feud is award-winning journalist Kathleen Sharp's nail-biting expose of the Procrit case. Packed with corporate espionage, plot twists, and larger-than-life characters, it's as gripping as it is terrifyingly true.
"Sharp tells the story of sales rep Mark Duxbury, who challenged the wisdom of selling Procrit and, after testifying in a closed court, was hounded from his job." (Library Journal)

Did Procrit kill my late husband?
There was a lot going on in this story! Some of the details just didn't make sense until later and my mind was very busy wrapping around the whole story. The second time I listened to the whole story in two days time and it fit together better then. I wouldn't change a thing about the book though!
I just could not believe they kept getting away with it and it just kept getting worse. It seemed the truth just took soooo long to come out.
I wanted to but after staying up all night the first night I backed it up and took it slow because there really is a lot going on at once.
I was fascinated by this story. It was just very emotional for me because I have to wonder if Procrit overdose may have killed my late husband and with that on my mind the whole book through it made it rather weighty. I wish I had known about this back then so I could have gotten some answers and perhaps sued them too!
- Anna "When I have a little money I buy books and if there is any left over, I buy food."
Slow and Frustrating
This is a long saga about a person with terminal bad judgment having the bad luck to become a salesman and fall into a pharmaceutical scandal. At the end of the book, you realize the huge impact of luck on human events.
In this case the flawed salesman, Mark Duxbury, a person who smoked, drank, had emotional problems, and used general poor judgment, was ultimately responsible for his own failed quixotic quest. We the people are the unlucky ones, because it seems pretty clear if a better person had stumbled on the Johnson & Johnson Procrit scandal, many people's lives would have been saved.
The book suffers from another flaw. The author, in an apparent attempt to add color and interest, litters the book with similes (it spread like kelp on an artificial reef) and internal dialogues (he looked out the window and thought the weather reflected his prospects). I have a hard time believing the author was able to accurately discover minutia, such as whether Duxbury decided to pass up a cup of coffee when leaving an airport ten years earlier, so I found these bits of "color" distracting.
As the end of the day, you'll come away believing that Procrit is bad, Johnson & Johnson is bad, many doctors and lawyers are bad, and the author has an excuse for her incredible litany of Duxbury failures. I found the whole thing boring and disappointing.

Post "New Earth", but only just.
Chapter 3 - The Truth Will Out
The Doctor was feeling good.
He had already saved earth and New Earth in the space of only a few days.
He was getting the hang of his newest regeneration, and finding he liked this one quite well. It seemed Rose did, too.
Cassandra as well, but he wasn't about to dwell on that. He was, in fact, trying very hard to figure out a way to remember Rose's kiss without thinking about who happened to have been possessing her at the time.
She'd been possessed the last time he'd kissed her, too. A very unfortunate habit she seemed to be developing -
When he heard Rose's scream, he was out of the TARDIS' console room and through her bedroom door before she'd finished the word, "Doctor!"
"Rose?" he asked, stepping into the darkened room.
"Cold," she murmured. To his relief, she appeared to only be dreaming, although it was obviously a nightmare. "It's cold," she repeated, still asleep.
The Doctor crept closer to feel her forehead. She wasn't cold, nor was she feverish. She was a bit warm, but her thrashing about was enough to explain the temperature. He brought his hands up to frame her face as he sat beside her on the bed. "It's me, Rose," he spoke softly. "It's just a dream, wake up."
"He's dead," she choked out, eyes screwed tightly shut as she shook her head away from his gentle grip. "My fault... whole world..."
"Rose," the Doctor spoke more insistently, gripping her shoulders.
Her eyes opened with a sob, and she looked around the room, disoriented for a moment. When she finally saw him, she gripped the sleeves of his suit jacket tightly. "D-Doctor?" she asked.
"I'm right here," he assured her.
She pulled herself up and latched tightly onto him in a crushing hug.
"Nightmare?" he asked, rubbing soothing circles on her back, not unlike the way she had done on the couple of occasions she had caught him sleeping... and dreaming.
She nodded wetly into the crook of his neck.
"Wanna talk about it?" he asked.
She shook her head, no.
"Sure?" he asked, and she sighed against him. She had never let him get away with not talking about his nightmares; a technique he suspected her mother had engrained in her.
He couldn't blame her. It worked.
After a few moments, Rose extricated herself from their embrace, just enough to pull an arm free and wipe at her eyes and cheeks. "Sorry," she said, sniffling.
The Doctor shook his head, his hands now on her arms. "Don't be. Just tell me what's wrong."
She closed her eyes, composing herself. After a couple of deep breaths, she spoke. "It's all weird," she began, shaking her head as she looked at him. "It's as weird as a nightmare, but it felt so real."
The Doctor nodded for her to go on, but he was on alert. It would be easy to say "it's only a dream," but there were any number of threats that could work within - or disguise themselves as - dreams.
"I think," Rose continued, "I was thinkin' 'bout my Dad, 'cause of some stuff Mum an' I were talkin' about before I came back."
"You mean," he asked," before you opened the Heart of the TARDIS and miraculously navigated your way back to the Gamestation to wipe out the Daleks and save my life?"
She sniffed again, and looked over at the box of tissues on her bedside table. The Doctor grabbed one, and handed it to her. "Thanks," she said, taking the tissue and wiping her nose. "Yeah, then," she said, sheepishly. "But, I was thinkin' 'bout bein' there when Dad was hit, and lookin' for the lady that stayed with him an' all, and how I realized it was me," another sniff. "Then it was like everythin' sorta shifted." She looked up at the Doctor. "I was still at the church, but we were all inside, and Dad was alive, and there were these -" she swallowed, "these Reapers, I thought they were called, these big, flying bat things." She looked hard at the Doctor, fresh tears in her eyes. "They killed you, and I knew, I just knew it was all my fault."
As her tears began to fall again, the Doctor pulled her tight to his chest. She wrapped her arms around him, and he felt her shaking, hiccoughing softly. Guilt rose inside him as he held her. He had thought he understood her tears when she began recounting the incident with her father. But then, to discover that it was his, the Doctor's fate that had so disturbed her...
He was used to rewritten memories like this. It came with being a Time Lord. He had to be aware of altered realities so as to avoid, well, exactly the sort of paradox he'd ended up causing. But Rose, she shouldn't know. She hadn't known, back when it first happened, he knew that. This had to be another effect of holding the Vortex. Just like her memories of the Gamestation had come back in a dream, albeit piecemeal...
She pulled back after a few minutes, wiping at her eyes again. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "I know it's just a dream, but..." she trailed off as she looked at him, and the Doctor knew she could read the truth in his eyes. "It's real," she whispered.
He nodded.
"I killed you," she said, looking at him in horror. "Again."
The Doctor shook his head urgently. "No, Rose," he said. "We already covered this, remember? What happened on the Gamestation was my choice. And the Reapers were my fault, not yours." He held her hands to keep her from moving away from him.
"But how?" Rose asked. "How is it real? And what are those things, the Reapers?"
The Doctor had known this would come back to haunt him. Somehow, against all rationality, he had known.
He couldn't bring himself to shatter her precious little reality the last time she had asked about her Dad, but now that it had shattered on its own, it was up to him to help her pick up the pieces.
"Come on," he said, sliding off of her bed and pulling her gently to her feet. "I'll make the tea."
The end.

Delhi gangrape: Juvenile justice panel to hear inquiry against minor accused
Meanwhile, the minor has claimed innocence and is contesting the charges in the brutal gangrape case of a 23-year-old paramedical student.
New Delhi: The Juvenile Justice Board will start an inquiry on Wednesday against the 17-year-old minor accused in Delhi gangrape case. In its last hearing on February 28, the board framed charges of murder, gangrape, kidnapping and robbery.
Meanwhile, the minor has claimed innocence and is contesting the charges in the brutal gangrape case of a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus in the outskirts of the capital on December 16, 2012.
Earlier, the police had in its PIR (police investigation report, which is equivalent to charge sheet) filed before the JJB slapped charges of gangrape, murder, unnatural sex, dacoity, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence among other offences under the Indian Penal Code against the minor.
Similar charges have been framed against the other five adult accused in the case, proceedings in which are being conducted in-camera at a special fast track court in New Delhi.
The gangrape victim had died on December 29, 2012 in a Singapore hospital as a result of the grievous injuries she had suffered when she was brutally raped and assaulted by the six accused, after she and her male friend boarded the bus on December 16 night.

GBP/USD: Ichimoku analysis (Mar. 14)
By Tatyana Norkina, FBS analyst
Daily. GBP/USD didn't manage to stay in the positive area. Last week the bears were active. They breached the short-term support line and brought the pair to Tenkan-Kijun channel. This may mean a continuation of the sideways trend in the near future. Note that the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B are directed horizontally, which also points at the flat market. The prices may decline to Kijun-sen (KS).
Chart. Daily GBP/USD
H4. Sideways trend is confirmed at H4 as well. Already at the beginning of the week the pair found itself inside the Cloud. Then it repeatedly tested the boundaries of the Cloud, but failed to go beyond it. By the end of the week the pair once again returned to the Cloud's bottom, indicating the superiority of the bears. Because of this the nature of clouds has changed. The probability of the prices falling below the Cloud is high.
Chart. H4 GBP/USD

5.0 stars 50 totalReview Kimberly Berry
Posted by anonymous
My work requires me to have no points on my driving record, so when I received a ticket for passing a school bus, my livelihood was on the line. Kimberly and her team expertly navigated the traffic court, and got the ticket substantially reduced to a lesser offense with no points. I kept my job, and couldn't be happier!
Posted by anonymous
It was a long journey but kinberly never stopped working for the results needed! It took over a year to finally get the court to reduce my Dui to reckless driving but it was well worth the wait!
Posted by anonymous
Kimberly was able to prove to the prosecutor that I was not drinking when charged with a DUI and got the charges reduced to reckless driving. I was arrested because I refused a blood test and the police report and video contradicted each other and without her help, the charges wouldn't have been dropped. She was available to talk anytime via text and phone and made me feel like she really cared about me. I highly recommend her and her firm.
Posted by Greg
Kimberly was my lawyer in a case where I was facing DUI, reckless driving, and traveling in the wrong direction. The DA was unwilling to reduce any of the charges. I was charged with Implied Consent for refusing to provide a blood test. If you only read the police report you would believe that I was guilty, but thankfully with the ongoing support of Kimberly and the video of the arrest, we were able to get the DUI & reckless driving dismissed in a jury trial of my peers.
Kimberley kept me informed of the status of my case over a 13 month period. She listened to the details of my case and used the facts to unravel the "fabricated" officers version. She performed excellent in the opening, evidence, and closing stages of the trial by pointing out inaccuracies in the officer's testimony and creating doubt in his story. Most importantly she truly cared about the outcome of the case - not just to win, but to ensure that I felt supported.
I can't thank her enough for what she did for me and my family. I would highly recommend Kimberly for anyone in a similar situation!

Kimberly Berry is an amazing attorney. Kimberly is smart and not afraid to take on the state prosecutors. From day one Kimberly worked hard on my case and kept me informed every step along the way. After 3 years of trying to get the case reduced, the prosecution would not budge. Kimberly recommended that we go to trial. I was willing to fight all the way to the end. Kimberly prepared a great defense for the trial, actually so great that the prosecutions witness did not show up. After suggesting to the judge that the case be dismissed, he agreed and we won. Don't be afraid to fight your case. I highly recommend that you hire Kimberly to work hard for you.

Kimberly Berry did an amazing job, I was so lucky to find her. Always available, great person,and great at what she does. Highly recommend her.
Posted by anonymous
Kim is extremely smart and a very quick thinker. She seems to always be available and will get back with you in minutes when trying to get in touch with her! She is very comforting, and is nothing less than aggressive towards your case! Highly recommend her for any of your troubles. There are no limits for Kim. For my personal case, I had multiple charges and got out of the situation with nothing but a slap on the wrist. *No Jail Time* is always a great thing! Thanks Kim!
Posted by anonymous
Attorney Berry did a great job representing me! I was charged with my first and last DUI in 2013 and she was able to get the charge reduced to reckless driving. I felt confident that she would be able to help me and provide the best legal advice. I would recommend Kimberly and this firm for DUI representation. (SB)

I was arrested for a DUI in August of 2014. I was referred to Kimberly by a friend of mine. From the very first time I met her, Kimberly was clearly knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. She put me at ease and made the whole situation so much easier because I felt I was in good hands and with someone who truly cared about the outcome of my situation. She attended many court hearings on my behalf without my even having to take off of work to attend and in the end took my case to trial even though she would not receive any additional payment for the extra time it took to invest into a trial case simply because she thought it would result in the best outcome for me. This was my second DUI charge so I was facing real jail time but Kimberly did a fantastic job fighting my case with the facts and at the end of the jury trial I was found not guilty and acquitted. Whatever the situation, anyone should be confident in her abilities and in her kindness as a person. I would tell anyone that if they need a lawyer Kimberly is absolutely the one you should hire. I am forever grateful to her.

Kimberly is not only extremely well educated, but took a personal interest in ensuring that I was kept up to date and constantly gave me peace of mind. I was so glad to have Kimberly by my side throughout this tough time. With a prior drug-related criminal record, I had concerns that my sentence would be more harsh than others who are charged with a first DUI. However, Kimberly was able to get me the very minimum. I truly believe that if I had chosen anyone else to represent me, that the outcome would have been very different. I also admire her passion for insisting that people who make mistakes are not bad people, as the justice system often portrays. Kimberly is the BEST choice for legal representation and she exceeded my expectations!!!!

It was sometime between mid-1987 and 1988 that people became overwrought on the subject of money, and then again in the dotcom boom of the late Nineties, though the talk was not nearly so widespread nor so intense. But today in London there is a atmosphere of gold rush, and the money made by the few who have seized the mining rights - that is to say hedge fund managers, private equity barons, the banking aristocracy, foreign billionaires - cascades to make lesser fortunes for estate agents, art dealers, wine dealers, restaurateurs, jewellers and anyone who offers a service or an item to sell that is in limited supply.
Last year 4,500 people took home a bonus of more than £1m. But there are those who make a great deal more than that - £10m, £20m and £50m packages are not uncommon. The total amount paid out in bonuses last year was £21bn, about one third of Britain's education budget
Whatever you call it - silly money or serious money - it is undeniably big money, and the world has never seen fortunes made so quickly by so many and so mysteriously. In New York - it could just have easily been London - there was recently a party for the top hedge fund earners held by a publication called the Institutional Investor's Alpha Magazine (which carries a league table each year of the 25 best earners). Coming top was James Simmons, a 69-year-old former mathematics professor who is shy of the press and peered out of the party pictures like a man being honoured for long service in a book store. Using complicated mathematics models, he made $1.7bn last year. The rest of the list consisted of people who had made more than $240m.
These figures used to be confined to America, but now London, by all accounts a less regulated, more tax-efficient and civilised place to do business in, has its own super-earners. They are compressed into a few square miles where the competition to display new wealth is intense, if mostly hidden from you and me. Houses are knocked through, reinforced, secured against all disaster and hollowed out to accommodate gyms, music studios, swimming pools, dens, movie theatres and technology-rich kitchens, the inside of which the owners do not see from beginning to end of day .The walls are covered in high-value art.
This week the big auction houses expect to sell a record £450m of modern masterpieces, including a portrait by Lucian Freud of his late friend Bruce Bernard, which is estimated at £5.5m. Bruce had slightly more money than his more famous brother Jeffrey, but the idea of this amount being paid for his gently despondent countenance would have made him hoot with laughter.
The property market is hectic because of the vast weight of money at the top. Demand outstrips supply so houses can earn more per annum than their owners and estate agents are buying Porsches again. At Savills a pool of £125m is to be shared in bonuses for 4,000 employees with some taking over £1m.
Things are supercharged compared with the Eighties, yet there's much that is familiar. For one thing, the blind optimism that the boom will go on even though the world is palpably less stable. (It could end with anything from a threat to oil supplies, a big sickness like Sars or bird flu to the collapse of the overheated Chinese stock market.) For another, there is the resentment of the people who used to regard themselves as well off: the envy of those who were once envied.
Addressing his readers, the editor of Tatler, Geordie Greig, writes this month: 'The superclass is overtaking you in the race for the best schools, overpaying for the house you presumed was yours... they are leaving the central core of middle Britain feeling very left out.' One suspects the Daily Mail has turned on the people who run private equity firms, not because of their asset-stripping ways or the highly leveraged deals (incidentally, both reminders of the dubious Eighties) but because they have made the middle classes feel small.
Right down at the bottom, the underclass struggles away with few to champion its cause or lighten its despair. The Rev Paul Nicolson who runs the Zacchaeus 2000 Trust - named after a tax collector in the New Testament - told me how HM Revenue and Customs suspended a woman's benefit payments because they didn't believe she had six children. His charity gave her money to feed the family for two weeks while she waited for an investigator to come to count heads. Place that alongside the concessionary capital gains tax - as little as 10 per cent - negotiated by the private equity industry on its income and you begin to wonder if we haven't got things a bit wrong.
It is the inevitable remoteness of the super- rich from the community and the concerns of a society that rankles. Many high earners give a great deal away and do much good, but, because of a failure of imagination or humanity, there are probably more who do not.
The super-rich have a responsibility to the morale of society and also - more acutely - to the environment. The spending of these newly acquired fortunes on private planes and helicopters for instance, or on the construction of golf courses, such as the one planned for the rich by Clint Eastwood on the Monterey peninsula, represents a great menace to the environment. Fish are being hunted to extinction for the delectation of jaded palates. Rare trees are felled for interior decoration. Landscape and coastlines are wrecked for resorts.
None of this is alleviated by the suspicion that these fortunes are generated by financial alchemy rather than by business - ie, making or supplying something which is useful. In an article for the New York Times last month, political journalist Michael Kinsley described how the car hire company founded by Warren E Avis had been sold or reorganised 17 times since 1946. 'Each time,' he wrote, 'there have been fees for bankers and fees for lawyers, bonuses for top executives and theories about why this was exactly what the company needed.'
It is argued that capitalism thrives on this ceaseless churn, yet there seems to be no reason why the House of Commons Treasury select committee should not, when it meets this week, demand frankness from the five big private equity bosses about their personal tax arrangements, the treatment of employees of firms taken over and the escalating debt. For there is something vaporous and untrustworthy about debt held in a kind of digital suspension It makes the boom no more solid than its predecessors, and maybe a lot more dangerous.
What to do with the super-rich? How can they be integrated into society? Obviously the private equity barons should be paying more tax. There should be a self-imposed ceiling on bonuses, with companies setting up, pound-for-pound, charitable schemes, inventing their own projects perhaps which involve the active participation of their rich employees. I don't believe in supertaxes for the very simple reason that these people can simply relocate to another financial centre, taking with them the much broader benefits in revenue that their activity generate.
But I do believe in educating the rich in one simple fact: no one person's work is worth £10m a year.

NVIDIA Releases 368.69 WHQL Drivers for Dirt Rally VR
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 6, 2016 - 05:10 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: VR, Oculus, nvidia, graphics drivers, DiRT Rally
A Game Ready Driver has just launched for DiRT Rally VR. GeForce Drivers 368.69 WHQL increments upon the last release, obviously adding optimizations for DiRT Rally VR, but it also includes a few new SLI profiles (Armored Warfare, Dangerous Golf, iRacing: Motorsport Simulator, Lost Ark, and Tiger Knight) and probably other bug fixes.
The update doesn't yet have a release date, but it should be soon. According to NVIDIA's blog post, it sounds like it will come first to the Oculus Store, but arrive on Steam later this month. I haven't been following the game too heavily, but there doesn't seem to be any announcement about official HTC Vive support that I can find.
You can pick them up at NVIDIA's website or through GeForce Experience. Thankfully, the GeForce Experience 3 Beta seems to pick up on new drivers much quicker than the previous version.
Vive, DisplayPort, and GP104 Apparently Don't Mix For Now
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 6, 2016 - 07:15 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pascal, nvidia, htc vive, GTX 1080, gtx 1070, GP104
NVIDIA is working on a fix to allow the HTC Vive to be connected to the GeForce GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 over DisplayPort. The HTC Vive apparently has the choice between HDMI and Mini DisplayPort, but the headset will not be identified when connected over that connection. Currently, the two workarounds are to connect the HTC Vive over HDMI, or use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter if your card's HDMI output is already occupied.
It has apparently been an open issue for over a month now. That said, NVIDIA's Manuel Guzman has acknowledged the issue. Other threads claim that there are other displays that have a similar issue, and, within the last 24 hours, some users have experienced luck with modifying their motherboard's settings. I'd expect that it's something the can fix in an upcoming driver, though. For now, I guess plan your monitor outputs accordingly if you were planning on getting the HTC Vive.
NVIDIA Announces GeForce Experience 3.0 Beta
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 2, 2016 - 01:25 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, geforce, geforce experience
GeForce Experience will be getting an updated UI soon, and a beta release is available now. It has basically been fully redesigned, although the NVIDIA Control Panel is the same as it has been. That said, even though it is newer, GeForce Experience could benefit from a good overhaul, especially in terms of start-up delay. NVIDIA says it uses 2X less memory and loads 3X faster. It still has a slightly loading bar, but less than a second.
Interestingly, I noticed that, even though I skipped over Sharing Settings on first launch, Instant Replay was set to On by default. This could have been carried over from my previous instance of GeForce Experience, although I'm pretty sure I left it off. Privacy-conscious folks might want to verify that ShadowPlay isn't running, just in case.
One downside for some of our users is that you now require an NVIDIA account (or connect your Google Account to NVIDIA) to access it. Previously, you could use features, like ShadowPlay, while logged out, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. This will no-doubt upset some of our audience, but it's not entirely unexpected, given NVIDIA's previous statements about requiring an NVIDIA account for Beta drivers. The rest of GeForce Experience isn't too surprising considering that.
We'll now end where we began: installation. For testing (and hopefully providing feedback) during the beta, NVIDIA will be giving away GTX 1080s on a weekly basis. To enter, you apparently just need to install the Beta and log in with your NVIDIA (or Google) account.
AMD RX 480 (and NVIDIA GTX 1080) Launch Demand
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 30, 2016 - 07:54 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, nvidia, FinFET, Polaris, polaris 10, pascal
If you're trying to purchase a Pascal or Polaris-based GPU, then you are probably well aware that patience is a required virtue. The problem is that, as a hardware website, we don't really know whether the issue is high demand or low supply. Both are manufactured on a new process node, which could mean that yield is a problem. On the other hand, it's been about four years since the last fabrication node, which means that chips got much smaller for the same performance.
Over time, manufacturing processes will mature, and yield will increase. But what about right now? AMD made a very small chip that produces ~GTX 970-level performance. NVIDIA is sticking with their typical, 3XXmm2 chip, which ended up producing higher than Titan X levels of performance.
It turns out that, according to online retailer, Overclockers UK, via Fudzilla, both the RX480 and GTX 1080 have sold over a thousand units at that location alone. That's quite a bit, especially when you consider that it only considers one (large) online retailer from Europe. It's difficult to say how much stock other stores (and regions) received compared to them, but it's still a thousand units in a day.
It's sounding like, for both vendors, pent-up demand might be the dominant factor.
Report: Image of Reference Design NVIDIA GTX 1060 Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 28, 2016 - 10:26 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nvidia, GeForce GTX 1060, GTX1060, rumor, report, leak, pascal, graphics card, video card
A report from VideoCardz.com shows what appears to be an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with a cooler similar to the "Founders Edition" GTX 1080/1070 design.
Is this the GTX 1060 reference design? (Image via VideoCardz.com)
The image comes via Reddit (original source links in the VideoCardz post), and we cannot verify the validity of the image - though it certainly looks convincing to this writer.
So what does VideoCardz offer as to the specifications of this GTX 1060 card? Quoting from the post:
"NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 will most likely use GP106 GPU with at least 1280 CUDA cores. Earlier rumors suggested that GTX 1060 might get 6 GB GDDR5 memory and 192-bit memory bus."
We await official word on the GTX 1060 from NVIDIA, which VideoCardz surmises "is expected to hit the market shortly after Radeon RX 480".
Frame Time Monday; this time with the GTX 1080
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 27, 2016 - 04:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: pascal, nvidia, GTX 1080, gtx, GP104, geforce, founders edition
You have already seen our delve into the frame times provided by the GTX 1080 but perhaps you would like another opinion. The Tech Report also uses the FCAT process which we depend upon to bring you frame time data, however they present the data in a slightly different way which might help you to comprehend the data. They also included Crysis 3 to ensure that the card can indeed play it. Check out their full review here.
"Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080 is the company's first consumer graphics card to feature its new Pascal architecture, fabricated on a next-generation 16-nm process. We dig deep into the GTX 1080 to see what the confluence of these advances means for the high-end graphics market."

EVGA Shows Off New High Bandwidth "Pro SLI Bridge HB" Bridges
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 22, 2016 - 02:40 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SLI HB, nvidia, EVGA SLI HB
Earlier this month we reported that EVGA would be producing its own version of Nvidia's SLI High Bandwidth bridges (aka SLI HB). Today, the company unveiled all the details on its new bridges that we did not know previously, particularly pricing and what the connectors look like.
EVGA is calling the new SLI HB bridges the EVGA Pro SLI HB Bridge and it will be available in several sizes to accommodate your particular card spacing. Note that the 0 slot, 1 slot, 2 slot, and 4 slot spacing bridges are all for two graphics card setups; you will not be able to use these bridges for Tri SLI or Quad SLI setups. While Nvidia did not show the underside of the HB bridges when it first announced them alongside the GTX 1080 graphics card, thanks to EVGA you can finally see what the connectors look like.
As many surmised, the new high bandwidth bridges use both fingers of the SLI connectors on each card to connect the two cards together. Previously (using the old-style SLI bridges), it was possible to connect card A to card B using one set of connectors and Card B to Card C using the second set of connectors for example. Now, you are limited to two card multi-GPU setups. That is the downside; however, the upside is that the HB bridges promise to deliver all of the necessary bandwidth to allow for high speed 4K and NVIDIA Surround display setups. While you will not necessarily see higher frame rates, the HB bridges should allow for improved frame times which will mean smoother gameplay on those very high resolution monitors!
The new SLI bridges are all black with an EVGA logo in the middle that is backlit by an LED. Users are able to use a switch along the bottom edge of the pcb to select from red, green, blue, and white LED colors. In my opinion these bridges look a lot better than the Nvidia SLI HB bridge renders from our computex story (hehe).
Now, as for pricing: EVGA is pricing its SLI HB bridges at $39.99 with the 2 slot spacing and 4 slot spacing bridges available now and the 0 slot and 1 slot spaced bridges set to be available soon (you can sign up to be notified when they are available for purchase). Hopefully reviews will be updated shortly around the net with the new bridges to see what impact they really have on multi-GPU gaming performance (or if they will just be better looking alternatives to the older LED bridges or ribbon bridges)!

Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal Comparison Benchmarks
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 21, 2016 - 05:22 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, fermi, kepler, maxwell, pascal, gf100, gf110, GK104, gk110, GM204, gm200, GP104
Techspot published an article that compared eight GPUs across six, high-end dies in NVIDIA's last four architectures: Fermi to Pascal. Average frame rates were listed across nine games, each measured at three resolutions:1366x768 (~720p HD), 1920x1080 (1080p FHD), and 2560x1600 (~1440p QHD).
The results are interesting. Comparing GP104 to GF100, mainstream Pascal is typically on the order of four times faster than big Fermi. Over that time, we've had three full generational leaps in fabrication technology, leading to over twice the number of transistors packed into a die that is almost half the size. It does, however, show that prices have remained relatively constant, except that the GTX 1080 is sort-of priced in the x80 Ti category despite the die size placing it in the non-Ti class. (They list the 1080 at $600, but you can't really find anything outside the $650-700 USD range).
It would be interesting to see this data set compared against AMD. It's informative for an NVIDIA-only article, though.
Windows 10 versus Ubuntu 16.04 versus NVIDIA versus AMD
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 20, 2016 - 04:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: windows 10, ubuntu, R9 Fury, nvidia, linux, GTX1070, amd
Phoronix wanted to test out how the new GTX 1070 and the R9 Fury compare on Ubuntu with new drivers and patches, as well as contrasting how they perform on Windows 10. There are two separate articles as the focus is not old silicon versus new but the performance comparison between the two operating systems. AMD was tested with the Crimson Edition 16.6.1 driver, AMDGPU-PRO Beta 2 (16.20.3) driver as well as Mesa 12.1-dev. There were interesting differences between the tested games as some would only support one of the two Linux drivers. The performance also varies based on the game engine, with some coming out in ties, others seeing Windows 10 pull ahead and even some cases where your performance on Linux was significantly better.
NVIDIA's GTX 1080 and 1070 were tested using the 368.39 driver release for Windows and the 367.27 driver for Ubuntu. Again we see mixed results, depending on the game Linux performance might actually beat out Windows, especially if OpenGL is an option.
Check out both reviews to see what performance you can expect from your GPU when gaming under Linux.
"Yesterday I published some Windows 10 vs. Ubuntu 16.04 Linux gaming benchmarks using the GeForce GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 graphics cards. Those numbers were interesting with the NVIDIA proprietary driver but for benchmarking this weekend are Windows 10 results with Radeon Software compared to Ubuntu 16.04 running the new AMDGPU-PRO hybrid driver as well as the latest Git code for a pure open-source driver stack."

NVIDIA Announces PCIe Versions of Tesla P100
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 20, 2016 - 01:57 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tesla, pascal, nvidia, GP100
GP100, the "Big Pascal" chip that was announced at GTC, will be coming to PCIe for enterprise and supercomputer customers in Q4 2016. Previously, it was only announced using NVIDIA's proprietary connection. In fact, they also gave themselves some lead time with their first-party DGX-1 system, which retails for $129,000 USD, although we expect that was more for yield reasons. Josh calculated that each GPU in that system is worth more than the full wafer that its die was manufactured on.
This brings us to the PCIe versions. Interestingly, they have been down-binned from the NVLink version. The boost clock has been dropped to 1300 MHz, from 1480 MHz, although that is matched with a slightly lower TDP (250W versus the NVLink's 300W). This lowers the FP16 performance to 18.7 TFLOPs, down from 21.2, FP32 performance to 9.3 TFLOPs, down from 10.6, and FP64 performance to 4.7 TFLOPs, down from 5.3. This is where we get to the question: did NVIDIA reduce the clocks to hit a 250W TDP and be compatible with the passive cooling technology that previous Tesla cards utilize, or were the clocks dropped to increase yield?
They are also providing a 12GB version of the PCIe Tesla P100. I didn't realize that GPU vendors could selectively disable HBM2 stacks, but NVIDIA disabled 4GB of memory, which also dropped the bus width to 3072-bit. You would think that the simplicity of the circuit would want to divide work in a power-of-two fashion, but, knowing that they can, it makes me wonder why they did. Again, my first reaction is to question GP100 yield, but you wouldn't think that HBM, being such a small part of the die, is something that they can reclaim a lot of chips by disabling a chunk, right? That is, unless the HBM2 stacks themselves have yield issues -- which would be interesting.
There is also still no word on a 32GB version. Samsung claimed the memory technology, 8GB stacks of HBM2, would be ready for products in Q4 2016 or early 2017. We'll need to wait and see where, when, and why it will appear.

Boyband Westlife are refusing to attend tonight's (17FEB04) Brit Awards because they "can't believe" they haven't received a single nomination.
The MANDY group have slammed the London bash as irrelevant to their career, because they continue to top the charts and sell-out arenas despite repeated critical snubs.
Singer NICKY BYRNE says, "We've not been nominated that I'm aware of, but it doesn't bother us. That's the industry.
"A year or two ago, I desperately wanted to be nominated for a Brit Award and thought we needed that to continue to be successful. But we still sell albums and sell out tours.
"Now we couldn't give a s***. I don't care if we are not nominated for a Brit Award. We've won two previous Brits. This is the second or third year we haven't been nominated and we are learning to get on with it.
"The five of us can't believe we haven't even been nominated, though we probably don't deserve to win it because the likes of Busted have had a great year.
"F*** them. Who cares. We've no interest in going to the awards. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone there, but if we're nominated and we think we should be, as far as I'm concerned I won't bother going to the Brits."
Fellow singer BRYAN McFADDEN more realistically adds, "Let's face it, we're never going to get Best Single. There are a lot of bands who are more credible than Westlife and they don't want the Brits turned into a pop show."20/02/2004 17:12

More East Germans Sneak Into Embassy in Prague
By JOHN TAGLIABUE, Special to The New York Times
Published: October 2, 1989
PRAGUE, Oct. 1— Several hundred East Germans sneaked past the Czechoslovak police today to gain sanctuary at the West German Embassy here, a day after thousands of their countrymen were allowed to leave the compound for West Germany.
Throughout the day, police officers posted in the streets surrounding the embassy were stopping people heading toward the embassy grounds to check their identity papers, turning back all who produced East German documents. But as the day wore on, many East Germans managed to elude the officers, either on foot or in taxis or cars driven by West German tourists, who seemed to have improvised a sort of underground railroad.
By late afternoon close to 250 East Germans, including about 50 children, had made their way to the gate of the embassy grounds, where they milled about, at times glancing anxiously at police officers who kept their distance.
Then, just before dusk, the West German Ambassador, Hermann Huber, came to the embassy door and announced, ''For the time being, we will let you in here.'' With cheers and laughter, the East Germans streamed in. More continued to arrive at the embassy in the same way tonight. Embarrassment for East
The new arrivals pose a potential embarrassment for the East German Government, which apparently hoped to end the 11-week occupation of the embassy grounds by agreeing with West Germany on Saturday to allow more than 5,500 East Germans to leave and board special trains to Bavaria.
It was unclear today whether the new arrivals would be covered by the agreement, which also applied to hundreds of East Germans at Bonn's embassy in Warsaw.
In Bonn, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Jurgen Chrobog, said West Germany had formally protested to Czechoslovakia about the police patrols blocking access to the embassy.
Before they were admitted to the grounds, many of the newcomers exchanged stories of how they had arrived in Prague. Several said they had decided to come only after they heard the news Saturday night of the departure for West Germany of those camped at the embassy here.
A young woman who huddled in front of the embassy with her 9-year-old son said she left the Baltic island of Rugen late Saturday after learning the news. She traveled through the night by train to Prague. Others said they had driven the hour and a half from Dresden to join the earlier stream of emigrants to the West.
The movement of East Germans into West German embassies in Prague and Warsaw began in earnest after the Government in East Berlin, together with Czechoslovakia, acted to prevent East Germans from traveling to Hungary, which recently opened its border with Austria. More than 20,000 East Germans have crossed that border to get to West Germany in recent weeks.
Under travel arrangements between the Communist Governments, East Germans require only a valid identity card to pass into Czechoslovakia. Many of the East Germans at the embassy said the regulation appeared to be still in force. But some said the East German border police were turning back travelers carrying family mementos or Western money, apparently regarding such items as proof that the West was their destination.
All indications were that the decision Saturday was wrenching for East Germany, but that it was forced to let its citizens leave to avoid the awkwardness of having thousands of East Germans stranded in West German embassies in Eastern Europe as it prepares elaborate ceremonies this month to mark the 40th anniversary of the Communist state. It appeared now that East Germany might be forced to suspend its travel arrangements with Prague, though it would do so reluctantly, since Czechoslovakia is virtually the only foreign country to which East Germans can readily travel.
A heating engineer at the embassy who drove from Dresden with his girlfriend in the early morning said: ''The whole East bloc is uncoupling from us. We are sitting in a cage now.'' Earlier today, after about 100 or so East Germans had clustered at the embassy entrance, Ambassador Huber had emerged briefly to appeal to them to return to East Germany, where he said their applications for emigration to the West would be considered. No Request for the Police
When reporters asked who had ordered the police patrols, the Ambassador replied: ''I do not know. It certainly wasn't me, and as far as how long they will stay, I do not know.''
Police officers on duty, though reluctant to talk with reporters, said they believed that the patrols were ordered by the Czechoslovak Foreign Ministry.
But West German tourists ferried some East Germans through the police patrols in their cars, while Czechoslovak taxi drivers took others.
Tonight a Peugeot with West German plates drove up to the embassy entrance. The driver hopped out and opened the trunk, and a woman sprang out and scampered into the embassy. ---- Moscow Praises East Berlin
BONN, Oct. 1 (Reuters) - A senior adviser to the Soviet President, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, said today that East Germany had made the right decision in letting the East Germans in Prague and Warsaw go to the West.
''I believe the leadership in East Germany made the correct decision, in the interests of the people and of the state,'' said Valentin M. Falin, who advises Mr. Gorbachev on German affairs. Mr. Falin spoke in an interview with the newspaper Die Welt.

Hand Crafted Wood Wallets by Slim Timber
Over the years slim wallets have become a much more favorable fashion accessory for men, and for the most part slimmer is always better when it comes to wallets. It's much more convenient and comfortable to be able to carry your wallet in the front pocket as oppose to the back.
There are times however when we would opt for a bit thicker wallet, and the time is now with the Slim Timber Wood Wallets. Although they are a bit heftier than we would normally prefer, the styling and craftsman ship is impeccable. The wallets are hand crafted in the Boise, Idaho from a single piece of either maple or walnut, and will hold everything you need from credit cards to cash.

It was around this time that people seemed to turn up the volume on how much they focused on Idina.
Maybe I just hadn't noticed it before, but especially after I returned from Arizona, it seemed like people were beginning to pay almost ridiculous amounts of attention to my sister. Or maybe I was still sensitive from the emotional fraying of Family Week. But it seemed like people were going just a little overboard.
For example, I was on Facebook when a friend who has always showed his preference to be Idina and not me messaged me. All he wanted to know was how Idina was doing! This had happened before, and I was really TICKED.
I was seriously so close to swearing at him and getting offline. But, of course, I didn't. I had to be the perfect sister. I had to be a perfect young woman.

In what was seen as an enthusiastic response to the Bonn government's plan for radical public spending cuts the discount rate - which provides a floor under market rates - was cut by half a point to 6.75 per cent. The move marked a new determination by the central bank to boost the economy.
The Lombard rate was also cut, by a quarter point to 8.25 per cent, and the short-term repurchase rate by around three-tenths of a point to 7.3 per cent.
The Bundesbank's announcement triggered a wave of interest rate cuts across Europe. Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland all reduced their borrowing costs. France left its rates unchanged as the franc fell to a one-month low of Fr3.3780 to the mark in afternoon trading.
The Treasury welcomed the German rate cut, but said the British base rate - currently 6 per cent - was consistent with recovery and the Government's target for inflation. But the Labour Party called for an immediate rate cut in the wake of the German move, citing falls in retail sales and rising business failures as evidence that the economy remained sluggish.
The mark dipped slightly on the cut, but then rose strongly as dealers concluded that another German rate reduction was now unlikely until the autumn. The mark was also helped by a weak dollar, depressed by further evidence of weakness in the US economy as the purchasing managers' index suggested that factory output was falling. The dollar shed almost half a pfennig to DM1.6970, while the pound rose nearly a cent to dollars 1.5070.
A confident Helmut Schlesinger, the Bundesbank president, said the German recession had reached the bottom and the economy was showing signs of improvement. He dismissed recent external pressure for interest rate cuts, notably from France and America.
Mr Schlesinger said the Bundesbank's decision was based on a number of improved domestic factors. International rumours about the demise of the mark had been proved unfounded. 'The very fact that we took such a clear step on rates points up that our confidence in our stability policies is extremely large,' he said.
Talking after the annual external meeting of the bank's central council, held in Leipzig on the third anniversary of monetary union between west and east Germany, Mr Schlesinger said he was confident the German economy had bottomed. 'From now on it can improve,' he said. Industrial orders were rising and the slide in industrial production had halted. In April and May it had risen slightly.
The reasons for the Bundesbank's upbeat mood, and the larger-than- expected discount rate cut, lay partly in improvements in inflation and the deceleration in money supply growth.
Although it was still over 4 per cent Mr Schlesinger said that 'the inflation figures show over the past three months that growth has been much weaker than year-to-year comparisons suggest'. He said M3 money supply growth was not as strong as it had been. Mr Schlesinger reserved special praise for Bonn. The DM20bn deficit reduction package for 1994 agreed earlier this week by the centre-right coalition was an important development, he said. He particularly welcomed the fact that this package focused on cuts in spending, as opposed to the earlier Solidarity pact, which had emphasised increasing revenues.
One of the main reasons, in the view of economists, why the Bundesbank called a halt in late April to its policy of regular, cautious rate cuts, was alarm at the exploding public deficit. The Bundesbank had warned repeatedly that the government's seeming inability to curb a public deficit that will reach 7.5 per cent of gross domestic product this year, was preventing further rate cuts.
