AMD Radeon R7-260X R9-270X and R9-280X review -
A new Island and Technology
Them Islands Again
So over the past two years you have been hearing about several codenames and that can be a little confusing. It's simple really, in the market we have entry level, mainstream and high-end products. When you notice "Cape Verde" that's entry level, such as the current 7700 series. Pitcairn would be the codename the mainstream products like the 7800 hide under, and Tahiti is the codename for the GPUs used on AMD's most high-end graphics cards.
- Entry level = Cape Verde = Radeon HD 7700 series / R5 series
- Mainstream level = Pitcairn = Radeon HD 7800 series / R7 series
- High-end level = Tahiti = Radeon HD 7900 series / R9 series
- Enthusiast level Hawaii = R9-290 and 290X
The entire segment from top to bottom was released in Q1 2012, but most of the 2013 models are respins, the exception being the R7-260X and the R9-290/290X graphics cards.
- Stream Processors 320
- Clock Frequency up-to 780 GHz
- 499 GFLOPS compute performance
- 1 or 2 GB memory at 4.6 Gbps / 128-bit
- API - DirectX 11.2 / OpenGL 4.3 / Mantle
- Stream Processors 384
- Clock Frequency up-to 1.05 GHz
- 806 GFLOPS compute performance
- 1 or 2 GB memory at 4.6 Gbps
- API - DirectX 11.2 / OpenGL 4.3 / Mantle
- Stream Processors 896
- Clock Frequency up-to 1.1 GHz
- 1.97 TFLOPS compute performance
- 2 GB memory at 6.5 Gbps / 128-bit
- API - DirectX 11.2 / OpenGl 4.3 / Mantle
R9 270X (previously the R7870 GHz / Pitcairn)
- Stream Processors 1280
- Clock Frequency up-to 1.05 GHz
- 2.69 TFLOPS compute performance
- 2 or 4 GB memory at 5.6 Gbps
- API - DirectX 11.2 / OpenGL 4.3 / Mantle
R9 280X (previously the R7970 GHz / Tahiti)
- Stream Processors 2048
- Clock Frequency up-to 1 GHz
- 4.1 TFLOPS compute performance
- 3 GB memory at 5.6 Gbps / 384-bit
- API - DirectX 11.2 / OpenGL 4.3 / Mantle
Respin much ?
Yes, much like NVIDIA has done with the 700 series AMD is doing something very similar. The R7 260X is a new GPU, but the R9 270X and R9-280X both are derivatives of the Pitcairn and Tahiti GPUs respectively. Anyone remembers Oland, that mobile GPU? Well peek at the R7 250 specs, looks familiar right? There are a number of changes though to be found in clock and memory frequencies so overall there will be slight performance increments. AMD has now also fully implemented a 'Turbo' feature much like NVIDIA's boost technology on all of their products.
This means that there is no longer a fixed clock on these cards. The GPU clock will get a baseline and maximum frequency, in-between these two values the card will clock up/down based on power draw/limiters, performance and heat. In return the card will adaptively manage fan control, clock frequency and voltages (dynamic). AMS always has been much more reserved with the difference in between baseline and maximum frequency, so the difference in values won't be extremely big.
28nm Technology
The GPU architecture has remained the same. Comparable to the last-generation products, AMD still uses the 28nm process technology, the cards are PCIe gen 3 compatible and there have been significant changes on power consumption. We'll address all the features separately of course. With the launch of the R7 and R9 series you will also see Eyefinity updated towards version 2.0 DDM; audio is now fully supported (you hear audio on the actual monitor it's played off), the 5x1 landscape mode is introduced, and you may now create custom multi-monitor resolutions.
Interesting is that AMD now implemented next generation digital multipoint audio with smart channel splitting. So if you setup Eyefinity with three screens the six speakers in your monitors will now be configured as front left/mid/right channels. Very clever.
Eyefinity has also received a small update. You can now mix and match any monitor (similar monitors) output and create an Eyefinity setup. So if you have three of the same monitors you could hook up one to HDMI, one to DVI and one to DP. That is the kind of flexibility we like a lot alright.

Steak 'n Shake buying the Ober Building in downtown Indianapolis
Indianapolis-based restaurant chain Steak 'n Shake is moving its downtown headquarters across the street, next to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
It's buying the Ober Building on 107 S. Pennsylvania from the city's Capital Improvement Board. The CIB, which owns Lucas Oil Stadium and the Fieldhouse, has owned the historic Ober since 1999.
The CIB and Steak and Shake agreed to a sale price of $3.1 million for the six-story building. The CIB originally wanted $3.8 million, but CIB president Ann Lathrop said since the building needs a new roof and HVAC system, they agreed to renegotiate the final cost.
The Ober building, at one time a furniture store, has since housed a handful of offices. The deal still needs the approval of the Metropolitan Development Commission.
Closing is set for February 28.

Method option to Solve
Hi all,
The usage string for the option name Method says "Method is an option
to Solve, related functions, and various numerical functions, which
specifies what algorithm to use in evaluating the result.". The list of
options for Solve does indeed include Method, with a default value of
{InverseFunctions -> Automatic, MakeRules -> False,
Method -> 3, Mode -> Generic, Sort -> True,
VerifySolutions -> Automatic, WorkingPrecision -> Infinity}
However, I have been unable to find any other reference to the Method
option to Solve in the documentation. Can anyone explain what this
option does, and/or refer me to a part of the documentation that
explains it?

Who's who in Guyana's Under-15 team
With the Guyana under-15 team set to depart these shores shortly for neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago where they will compete in the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)/Clico-sponsored Regional under-15 tournament, Stabroek Sport brings you a Who's who of the team.
Shaquille Williams (captain)
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 20th March, 1994
Club: Malteenoes Sports Club
Position: All-rounder
Batting: Right hand batsman
Bowling: Right hand off spin
Williams first led Georgetown to the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB)/Nalico/Nafico-sponsored under-15 inter-association title, before he was made the man-in-charge of things on the field for Demerara in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/Castrol-sponsored under-15 inter-county tournament.
As he did for Georgetown, he led Demerara to the title defeating their nemesis Berbice in the second of two matches.
This useful Malteenoes all rounder was a certainty for the captain's position since his posture and mannerism on the field demands respect from his teammates without him even saying a word at times.
Ricardo Richard Adams
Age: 14-years-old
Date of birth: 23rd October, 1994
Club: Zeelandria Village Cricket team (Wakenaam)
Position: Batsman
Batting: Left hand batsman
Bowling: Left arm orthodox
Adams was the man-in-charge of the Cinderella County team when they defeated Berbice in the first of two games of the GCB/ Castrol under-15 tournament.
As a captain, he displayed leadership qualities that were only surpassed by Williams in the tournament, handling his charges with the greatest of ease, so it was no surprise he was made deputy to Williams.
His useful left arm orthodox bowling will serve the team in a tremendous way while his bating in the lower order can also be an asset to the team.
Gudakesh Khanai Motie
Age: 14-years-old
Date of birth: 29th March, 1995
Position: Spinner
Club: Albion Sports Club
Batting: Right hand batsman
Bowling: Left arm orthodox
Having made his debut at this level in 2007 under the captaincy of his club mate Hemnarine Chattergoon and returning last year under the captaincy of Kwame Crosse, Motie is now in his third consecutive year and wears the tag of the "most experienced player" in the squad at his age.
His bowling which has come on leaps and bounds over the years will definitely be a contributing factor towards Guyana winning the championship or not. He is also a useful lower order batsman.
Hemraj Rudy Chanderpaul
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 3rd September,1993
Club: Everest Cricket Club
Position: Batsman
Batting style: Left Hand batsman
Bowling style: Left arm orthodox
Unlike his West Indies middle order batsman and namesake Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Hemraj will be able to serve Guyana as a useful all rounder in the squad. Chanderpaul was a standby from last year, whose ability to stabilize any middle order collapse just like Shiv, helped him find favour with the selectors. Therefore he will be a great asset to the team, in addition to his left arm orthodox bowling.
Kareem Delon Naughton
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 26th February, 1994
Club: Malteenoes Sports Club
Position: All rounder
Batting style: Right hand batsman
Bowling style: Right arm medium fast
Naughton is making his debut on this team and judging from his bowling in the GCB/Castrol inter-county tournament, he can be a tough customer to handle with the new ball.
Vijay Surujpaul
Age: 14-years-old
Date of birth: 17th May, 1994
Club: Golden Fleece (Essequibo)
Position: Batsman
Batting style: Right hand batsman
Bowling style: Right hand offspin
Vijay is a steady batsman who can become explosive on his day. Making his debut at this level should not be a hard task for the Essequibian who showed during the inter-county tournament that he can concentrate for long periods in the middle. His bowling will complement his style of cricket.
Mark Malcolm Tyrell
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 21st October,1993
Club: Gunners Cricket Club (Essequibo)
Position: Bowler
Batting style: Right hand batsman
Bowling style: Right hand medium fast
Tyrell was impressive in the GCB/Castrol under-15 tournament, where he got the ball to swing both ways from the batsmen and in partnership with Naughton at the top of the bowling list for Guyana, they will be expected to rip apart the opposing team's top order, leaving little for the spinners who will follow.
Dinesh Kenrick Mangal
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 23 February, 1994
Club: Everest Cricket Club
Position: Wicketkeeper
Batting style: Right hand batsman
Nicknamed the "Turtle" by his teammates, his movement behind the stumps makes that a misnomer, especially when he effects his lighting fast stumping. Apart from Motie, he can be identified as one of the shortest players in the team.
Kevin Ramdeen
Age: 14-years-old
Date of birth: 11th August, 1994
Club: Rose Hall Canje
Position: Middle order batsman
Batting style: Right hand batsman
Bowling style: Right hand offspin
The younger brother of former Guyana and West Indies under-19 batsman Richard Ramdeen, Kevin has shown his love for the drive, especially off the front foot and is not afraid to play that to any bowler, whether fast or slow. He also has an appetite for batting and can come away as one of the team's leading run scorers in the tournament.
Christopher Surat
Age: 15-years-old
Date of birth: 11th October, 1993
Club: Everest Cricket Club
Position: Opening batsman
Batting style: Left hand batsman
Bowling style: Right hand offspin
Surat is an explosive opener who is not afraid to go over the top early in his innings. He loves the ball coming onto his bat and in tandem with his opening partner, can lay a foundation on which his team can build their innings.The remaining profiles will be carried tomorrow.

Chambers: Bring on Wladimir!
By Karl Freitag
Despite his win over former WBC heavyweight champion Sam Peter, "Fast" Eddie Chambers took a bit of heat from people who said he wasn't aggressive enough. In his win last Saturday over Alexander Dimitrenko, Chambers took that criticism to heart. Chambers met Dimitrenko in the center of the ring and took the fight right to the previously unbeaten WBO #1 ranked fighter, scoring a knockdown in the process. "There were times, like in the twelfth round, I was in there and I had him going and he was trying to hold and survive," Chambers told Fightnews. "That says a lot about him and his ability to survive and the heart he showed to begin the fight honestly. I was hitting him with some hellacious shots, you know, people don't think I can punch but I could tell you speed is power and I am a lot stronger than people think. There's not a heavyweight in this division out there that I can really believe is strong enough to deal with me — and my speed, as well."
He added, "I was hitting him with some sharp shots that he really couldn't see coming and they were really bugging him and he couldn't get away from them, so that says a lot about his heart, not about my inactivity I would say."
Chambers said he knew he had the upper hand in the fight from the early rounds, but there was some uncertainty as the scores were being announced.
"I actually didn't know what [the ring announcer] said, but I heard the crowd boo so I was hoping I didn't lose on that guy's card. I guess it was a draw and we didn't understand, but that I was like 'wow.' When I heard the crowd boo I knew something was up. I was just so worried and even until the last scorecard was read and until they said my name I wasn't completely satisfied or happy because I didn't know what was going on, but once they raised my hand I was fine."
The win made Chambers the mandatory WBO challenger for world champion Wladimir Klitschko, who will likely fedend against IBF mandatory Alexander Povetkin next. "Right now we're going to see what happens next with Wladimir and we'll probably parallel that," said promoter Dan Goossen about Chamber's immediate future. "We certainly don't want to keep Eddie out of action and just wait for Klitschko. So we'll go there and take it one step at a time from that end.
"You know, one thing that I do want to mention is that which you touched on and something that Rob Murray said to Eddie afterwards and Eddie said it also, is that he could really step it up even further. That gets back to only being 60% of what you saw is what he is capable of doing. Just think if he really would have stepped on the pedal a little bit more, how devastating it would be. We expect that in every fight Eddie will improve even more so in his performances because Eddie found out first hand that offensively he's a lot more dangerous when he is throwing punches rather than sitting back waiting."
Goossen is in the enviable position of promoting the two most promising American heavyweight in Chambers and Chris Arreola, but the savvy leader of Goossen Tutor Promotions wouldn't be pinned on which heavyweight was best. "To me, Eddie has certainly put himself right there at the top and Arreola certainly is right to say that he is the top American, but I like it when people are going to make choices of who is the best of the American heavyweights and it goes beyond that. I think they would both say forget being the best American heavyweight, they probably both feel they're the best heavyweight in the world and there is nothing wrong with that.
"I'm just happy to be a part of both of them and assisting in their opportunity to realize their dreams, eventually fight one another and truly find out who the best young heavyweight in the world is — after they beat the Klitschkos!"

Growing Herbs in Containers
May 28, 2013
When you stop to think about all the herbs that you use to cook with, how many of them have you ever grown and used fresh from the garden? Growing herbs can be a satisfying endeavor and a lovely addition to the garden or if you don't have an in ground garden or space for herbs you can always grow them in containers.
Growing herbs in containers can be beneficial as you can place them anywhere as long as they are getting 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. This may mean that you put your container of herbs that the container closer to your kitchen door which would provide easier access and encouragement to use in your cooking. Also, by growing herbs in containers it allows you to easier control growing conditions for herbs that may be pickier about their soil and watering requirements. Growing in herbs in containers allows for easier over wintering of herbs that are not able to survive the winter, such as Rosemary, by allowing portability to bringing the plant indoors. Finally, it may encourage you to try a new herb since you do not have to dedicate garden space and with potentially easier access you are more likely to remember it!
Almost all of our common herbs – basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary, tarragon, summer savory, winter savory, parsley and chives require 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. So be sure to choose a sunny location that you will remember - avoid putting them in an easily forgettable space. Nothing is sadder than finding a plant that was not watered and is too far gone to be saved. The one downside of container gardening is that in the heat of the summer you may be needing to water once or even twice a day depending on how hot the day is, the size of the container, and the type of container.
When choosing containers for growing herbs part of the decision is determined by what type of herbs you are growing. If you want to grow herbs like Rosemary or Lavender in containers, I would recommend terracotta unglazed pots. Both of these plants prefer drier conditions – and may prefer the soil to dry out between watering. Compare those with plants like basil or parsley which prefer to have evenly moist soil that doesn't fully dry out – plants that would be better in a plastic container that provide some assistance in minimizing the rate of moisture loss. Also, make sure to choose a pot that will be able to accommodate a fully grown herb plant. Whatever pot you decide to use, the pot must have drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Choose a good quality potting mix for use in your containers and use the following guidelines for container selection as well as recommendations for combining herbs in a single container.
Herbs that prefer drier conditions
- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Thyme
- Sage
- Marjoram
- Bay
- Savory
These herbs prefer more evenly moist soil:
- Basil
- Parsley
- Chives
- Dill
- Oregano
When it comes time to use your homegrown herbs in your cooking remember the following. For annual herbs you can remove up to 3/4 of the plant, but for perennial herbs only remove 1/3 of the plant in any one cutting. Make sure to give the plants time to regrow and rejuvenate before harvesting more. The easiest method is to only harvest what you need. When cooking with fresh herbs here are guidelines for use:
1 Tbsp of finely cut fresh = 1 tsp of dried crumbled herbs = 1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground

Paul Walsh today confirmed his move from booze for food, the outgoing Diageo boss becoming chairman of catering giant Compass.
Walsh, who will be replaced at Diageo by Ivan Menezes in July after more than 12 years at the helm of the maker of Guinness stout and Tanqueray gin, will join Compass as a non-executive director next January, and will become chairman on February 6.
Walsh will replace Sir Roy Gardner, who is retiring from the £15 billion business, which serves up four billion meals a year including strawberries and cream to tennis fans at the Wimbledon Championships, which start next week.
Sir Ian Robinson, senior independent director of Compass, said Walsh's "experience leading one of the UK's largest international companies through a period of significant global expansion makes him an excellent choice, and we look forward to his valuable contribution to the business".
Walsh is also on the board of Unilever and FedEx.

JEDDAH - The Civil Defense mobilized 14 fire-fighting brigades, rescuers, water tanks and various equipment to put out the fire that broke out on Saturday in a chemical factory in the Industrial City of Jeddah. The factory, which has an area of 500 sq. meters, produces paints. Acting spokesman of the Makkah Province's Civil Defense Lt. Col. Waleed Abu Shanab, said the fire was contained by using foams before it spread to other nearby areas. He said only two tanks with a capacity of 100 tons each were burned down. The spokesman said the fire might have been caused by an electric charge which was produced while the workers were loading a plastic tank, which has a capacity of 1,000 liters. He said a Civil Defense staff member sustained burns on the face and was treated in a hospital.

ALVA, Okla. – Northwestern and USAO split in the final regular season conference games, with USAO taking game one 4-3 and the Rangers taking game two 4-3. The split put the Rangers at 33-20 overall and at 16-14 in the conference.
Northwestern took a 3-0 lead after three and a half innings, with Vincent Valdez's third inning two-RBI single and Quinton Haynes drove in an unearned run on a fielder's choice in the fourth.
USAO added a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to pull within a run. The Drovers shut out the Rangers for the final three innings and scored a pair of runs with one hit in the bottom of the seventh inning to yield to the 4-3 win.
Garry Thomas (7-2) struck out two batters and allowed just four hits in six innings of work as he received the loss, just his second of the season.
Both teams had four hits, as Valdez led NWOSU with a 2-for-3 outing, including a double. Tom Huddleston and Haynes were the only other Rangers with hits.
Northwestern picked up 13 hits in game two and broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the seventh to lead to the 4-3 win.
Natal had an RBI single in the first inning to open the scoring. The Rangers pushed another solo run across in the fourth inning as Huddleston doubled in Haynes.
USAO knotted the game at 2-2 with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
In the Ranger seventh, Haynes doubled in Tom O'Gorman and Richard Burdick singled in Haynes to score the eventual game-winning run.
The Drovers led off the seventh inning with a solo home run to pull within a run. With two outs, the Rangers appealed a runner leaving early from second base and the appeal held up as the game ended with the Rangers taking the 4-3 victory.
Four Rangers pitched in the game, as Josh Swain started and pitched the first two innings. Jarad Moore relieved for two innings, as well as Kevin Hajny for two innings. Mike Pratali pitched the final inning getting his third save of the season, as Hajny (2-0) was credited with the win.
Haynes led the Rangers offensively with three hits, including two doubles. Huddleston, Burdick and Wade Schwerdtfeger all had two hits in the nightcap.
Northwestern (33-20, 16-14) will enter the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament which begins Monday, May 10 at Jim Wade Stadium on the campus of Oklahoma City University.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Dow up again – 51 points. But bond yields rising too… the ten-year now over 1.6%.
Perhaps we have seen the bottom of the great bear market in bond yields.
"You know, if you look at a chart of yield over the last 200 years," says Rob Marstrand, our Family Office chief analyst, "you see something remarkable. Yields have been going down almost the entire time. There was a major spike up in the '70s… and then down again. And now, they're at their lowest point in two centuries."
That trend may have now come to an end, just in the last few weeks…or not.
We don't know. We won't know for months…
What we do know is that our leaders' efforts to lift the economy out of its funk have failed. They claim to have 'whatever it takes' to make people better off.
Which is what we've been talking about for the last few days. "Maybe they don't", was our point of departure. Today, promise, we reach our destination.
First, the world's leading economies are all slowing down. Here's the latest from the New York Times:
The Italian economy shrank again in the second quarter, official data showed Tuesday, and orders for German machinery declined sharply, a reminder that flagging growth continued to complicate European leaders' quest to restore confidence in the euro zone.
Italy's gross domestic product declined 0.7 percent in the April-June period, compared with the first three months of the year, according to the country's official statistical agency, Istat. The economy shrank 2.5 percent in the second quarter a year earlier.
The Italian economy has now contracted for four consecutive quarters, leaving it deep in recession. And with the entire euro area economy on shaky ground, analysts are pessimistic about the prospects for a near-term revival.
In Berlin, the German Economy Ministry said industrial orders fell 1.7 percent in June from May, far more than the economists surveyed by Reuters and Bloomberg News had anticipated. Factories had 7.8 percent fewer orders than a year earlier.
The Economy Ministry noted in a statement that domestic orders were weaker, "with the momentum coming from abroad."
China, the US, Japan… are all slowing down too. The authorities think they know the way out of this mess. "Counter-cyclical stimulus" they call it. The idea is to give the market what it lacks – demand, by reducing the price and raising the availability of credit. In the simplest version, this means printing money…cash.
"That's what's nice about living in Argentina," said Rob, a colleague. "Everything is so obvious. They don't have these LTRO and the Twist programmes… They're much more blatant… and in-your-face about it. It's like a machine with the housing removed. You can see the gears turning. You can see how it really works.
"They literally print money. They need money to pay government workers. So they print pieces of paper. That's why the inflation rate in Argentina is already about 35%… and it's why the country is headed for another crisis. You can't have inflation rates that high without destabilising the economy. It should start breaking down soon."
Will this money printing by the Argentinians make their economy work better? Will the Argentinians be richer, happier, more prosperous as a result?
You don't think so? What's the matter with you? You must not have studied economics!
But today, as promised, we're not going to focus on the errors of economists… nor on the mistakes of policymakers…
… nor on all the frauds and scams that make up modern economic policies.
Instead, as a public service… as good, earnest and helpful members of the economy of which we are part… we offer some advice on "what it really takes" to get an economy out of a debt-induced slump.
First, as we've said many times, instead of fighting the depression, you have to give it a chance. You have to let bankrupts be bankrupts… you have to let defaulters default… you have to let bad debt go bad and bad managers go unemployed and bad banks go belly up.
But that should only take a few months. Don't sweat it. It's just nature's way of clearing out the dead wood and the hopeless situations.
After all, if you owe more than you can pay you should 'fess up to your mistake as soon as possible and stop the losses there. "Slam on the brakes", was F.A. Hayek's advice to Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. That was good advice.
When you are doing something that is bad for you – such as spending more than you can afford… or inflating the currency – you should stop doing it, ASAP. Adding more credit to a debt-soaked economy is a disastrous mistake. It should be stopped forthwith.
Then, nature can take over… and correct your errors.
But you can give nature a hand, too. Here again, we turn to Rob. Instead of increasing spending, governments should cut spending… and cut taxes:
"I reckon there would be a higher chance of success if a country did three or four things:
1. Slash government spending (eg reduce government payrolls by 20% over three to five years).
2. Cut personal and business taxes (and fund the short-term shortfall with debt).
3. Slash regulation that gets in the way of business and everyday life (employment law, licensing, reporting, tax reporting, health and safety etc etc). Give existing businesses more time to focus on making money. Make it easier for new entrepreneurs to get started. Improve the chances of private sector growth.
4. Keep interest rates low while the debt burden is worked off."
Unfortunately steps 2 and 3 are mostly or completely non-existent or even going the other way. And step 1 is non-existent in the US, which gives the illusion of a stronger economy in the short term, but the debt continues to grow at a scary rate.
The key to getting out of this global mess is private sector growth, not governments continuing to suck money out of the private domain.
Of course, governments could go further. If they wanted to eliminate unemployment they would simply abolish all the impediments between a person and a job. Namely, they would stop all forms of welfare and support for the unemployed, repeal all employment laws… including minimum wage, overtime, anti-discrimination and so forth. Employers and employees would soon come to terms that agreed with them both.
And if they wanted to spur even more private sector growth they would cut government spending even further. Government, like everything else you can mention in a family oriented publication, is subject to the law of declining marginal utility.
A little of it may be a good thing. A lot of it is a curse. The optimal level of government-directed spending – if there is such a thing – may be as low as 5% of GDP. It is more than six times that now.
The deeper insight is that an economy is merely the way in which people go about providing their wants and needs. Central planners never know what anyone wants or needs. So the more they interfere in an economy – by imposing price controls, interest rates, banking rules, pension programmes… or, whatever – the less of what people really get do they really want.
In other words, 'whatever it takes' to make people better off, central banks do not have it.

Washington County officials work toward battling drug epidemic
The head of Washington County's drug and alcohol commission told U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey fighting prescription drug addiction is like "being on a battlefield unarmed."
"We're frustrated and something more needs to be done in Pennsylvania," Cheryl D. Andrews said Wednesday during a roundtable discussion about the growing epidemic of prescription drug and heroin addictions and overdoses.
The discussion, held at Washington County's Courthouse Square, was hosted by Toomey and Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone.
Toomey described the escalating prescription drug problem as "stunning."
"It's happening to people of all age groups and ethnicities and backgrounds," Pennsylvania's Republican senator said. "We have to solve this problem."
Vittone said drug overdoses killed more than 60 people in Washington County in 2013.
"Drug abuse isn't new," Vittone said. "But the deadly impact we're seeing today certainly is."
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco said 58 drug overdoses occurred last year – more than double the number from 10 years ago.
"On Saturday I was in a house with a 14-year-old daughter whose mother was dead in bed with a fully-loaded syringe in her arm," Warco said. "The lives of families are affected forever. It doesn't go away after the funeral service."
U.S. Attorney David Hickton said that while law enforcement continues to focus on the supply side of illegal drug dealing, society needs to refocus on addiction as an illness.
"There is no more pressing problem we face as a community than prescription pill abuse and heroin use," he said. "It touches every single family in western Pennsylvania and across the country. Every single person has been touched by this problem."
Hickton and David Freed, president of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, and other speakers called for state lawmakers to pass a comprehensive drug monitoring program that is accessible to police as well as doctors and pharmacists.
"We're probably one of the worst states in monitoring the doctor-shopping, pill-shopping habit," Hickton said.
Freed, district attorney of Cumberland County, said members of the state House of Representatives last fall passed a version of a drug-monitoring program but an amended version giving law enforcement officials better access to the information soon could be introduced.
"Like a tornado, heroin is a drug that devastates everything in its path," said Freed. "Heroin destroys lives and for too many Pennsylvanians, heroin addiction starts with prescription drug abuse."
Freed and Vittone also noted the recently launched prescription drug "take back" program. Known as PA MedReturn, the program allows people to dispose of unused and expired prescription and over-the-counter medication safely and anonymously.
Washington County has installed 19 of the 250 boxes expected to be installed throughout the state.
Freed and Andrews also said there is a need for a statewide "Good Samaritan" law. The law would allow people to call for help when someone overdoses without fearing criminal charges.
Andrews said some drug addicts would "let someone die" so they would not face legal action. She said she'd also like to see better access of Naloxone, better known by the brand name Narcan, to people with addictions.
Narcan is used by medical personnel to counteract opioid or other narcotics in the body.
"Narcan reverses an overdose and buys about 30 minutes," said Gary Tennis, secretary of the state Department of Drug and Alcohol programs. "It's a powerful tool for saving lives."
Toomey said he would take the feedback and suggestions to help make better decisions in Washington, D.C.
"It helps me get a better sense of where to put resources," Toomey said, adding he will be hosting other roundtable discussions in the region.

Ranchi, Jan. 23: Jharkhand under President's Rule is beefing up its campaign against Naxalism through security and symbolism, with CRPF top brass hosting a closed-door meeting today on ways to contain rebels amid anticipation that Union minister Jairam Ramesh will hoist the Tricolour in Saranda on Republic Day.
A day after the bloody Latehar rebel encounter toll rose to 15, with jawan Mahesh Ram succumbing to his injuries at Apollo Hospitals, CRPF director-general Pranay Sahay held closed-door talks for two hours to fine-tune strategies and intensify security operations in rebel-hit areas of the state.
As many as 17 battalions of CRPF and two units of special strike force COBRA are fighting Naxalites in Jharkhand jointly with the state police.
The first month of the year saw rude reality checks in the form of a rebel-sponsored bloody ambush in Latehar and landmine blasts in Jhumra. In Latehar's Amuatikar forest, fierce gun battle on January 7-8 has so far claimed 11 jawans and four civilians.
In the course of the carnage, rebels also planted bombs in the abdomen of jawan corpses in a bid to cause more casualties during rescue or post-mortems, an act that sparked national outrage.
Today, after paying tribute to CRPF jawan Mahesh Ram at Dhurwa's CRPF unit, DG Sahay said: "The fight will continue and Maoists will get a befitting reply."
Anaconda I and II notwithstanding, CRPF has faced up to the fact that rebels hold sway in almost half of Jharkhand ' Latehar, Palamau, Garhwa, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Giridih and pockets of West Singhbhum, including Saranda.
At the closed-door meeting, Sahay spoke to CRPF officers, including deputy inspector generals and commandants, reviewing action taken in areas manned by them and brainstorming on strategies.
"The details cannot be shared due to security reasons," a DIG-ranked officer said, adding that Sahay closely discussed every area.
Sources said operations in Latehar were on, while police and para-military forces were now fanning out in the southern part of Amuatikar forests adjoining Palamau district. In Jharkhand now, rebel activity appears to be concentrated in forest corridors across districts that are close to borders.
CRPF and Bihar Police have also approached Border Security Force (BSF) air wing in Ranchi seeking details on the logistics of stationing a Dhruv chopper in Gaya (Bihar) near Palamau where Maoist activity has intensified of late.
At present, two Dhruv choppers managed and maintained by BSF at the Birsa Munda Airport hangars airlift injured jawans or flies senior security personnel to rebel-hit and inaccessible destinations of Jharkhand, Bihar and Bengal.
Jharkhand's anti-Naxalite campaign's poster child Saranda, in West Singhbhum, needs scrutiny to nip rebel nascent activity in the bud and allow the Centre's multi-crore development action plan to flourish.
Union minister Ramesh, who is behind the Saranda Action Plan, is expected to be in Ranchi tomorrow. He will hold meetings with the governor's advisers, Madhukar Gupta and K. Vijay Kumar ' a former CRPF director-general ' on Friday in which bureaucrats heading important state departments such as rural development, rural works, home, panchayati raj, drinking water and sanitation will be present.
On Republic Day, he is expected to be at Saranda.

any chance of selling the hanger by itself-i would be interested in that ?-thanks-scott
Vintage Gunslick display that hangs on the wall. Used to hang patches, bore brushes, cotton mops..etc. Has 8 wire hangers. Nice condition, but the bottom looks like it might have gotten bent or creased at one time. The back is in nice condition with no stains.
Also included are 2 Outers cleaning kits ( one 12ga shotgun and the other .30cal rifle). Both are complete, but the tube of Gunslick grease in the rifle kits looks like it was used a little and the outer box is missing. Sears cleaning tin is empty inside except for the metal insert that was used to hold the cleaning rods. The Tri-pack kit is unique and I'm not sure if it's complete. It has an outer cardboard sleeve which is unmarked and the label for the oil bottle is floating around inside the bottle. Not sure why they would put a label on the inside.
$45 shipped for all. Not real heavy, but have to put in a large box because of the Gunslick display. First "I'll take it" posted will get it. also please e-mail me direct at [email protected] The instant notifications have been unreliable lately.

U.K. Bank Investors Chided as Vickers Returns Firms to 1950s
The Independent Commission on Banking had a warning for investors as the government-appointed panel published its report on the future of the country's financial industry.
"If you live in a world in which the real rate of interest on safe government bonds, bonds that the world regards as safe, is about half a percent or less, you might wonder whether you can reasonably expect a reasonably safe return of 15 percent on equity in a bank," Martin Wolf, one of five members of the commission and a columnist for the Financial Times, told reporters in London yesterday. Shareholder expectations "are just a little bit unrealistic," he said.
U.K. banks are bracing for higher funding costs, increased competition and reduced profitability after the report recommended lenders should build firewalls between their consumer units and investment banks and raise up to what analysts estimate could be as much as 200 billion pounds ($316 billion) in additional loss-absorbing capital. The changes will require as much 7 billion pounds a year in implementation and funding costs, said the commission, which was headed by former Bank of England Chief Economist John Vickers, 53.
"We are seeing a return to a more simple 1950s style of retail banking, where it is perceived as more of a basic utility with low return on equity for shareholders," said Jon Pain, co- head of KPMG's Regulatory Centre of Excellence in Europe in London.
Government Approval Needed
Vickers' proposals must be approved by the government and lobbying from banks remains intense as lenders struggle with declining revenue and the threat of losses related to the European sovereign debt crisis, which is raising the cost of borrowing in the wholesale money markets. The plan is to be implemented by 2019 under the commission's proposed schedule.
"These reforms are likely to make it more difficult for the U.K. banks to return to their already modest target levels of return on equity," said Leigh Goodwin, a bank analyst at Citigroup Inc. in London. "The U.K. has the toughest liquidity requirements and among the toughest capital requirements. There has to be an impact on lending and on the competitiveness of U.K. banks."
Bank Shares Decline
Return on equity at Barclays Plc (BARC), the U.K.'s second-biggest bank by assets, was 5.2 percent at the end of the first half of the year. In February, the bank reduced that goal to 13 percent from an average of 18 percent over the past three decades. Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY), the U.K.'s largest mortgage lender, and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS), Britain's biggest government-controlled bank, are targeting return on equity of 14.5 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Lloyds and RBS both reported losses in the first half.
Barclays and RBS shares have both fallen 46 percent, while Lloyds lost 53 percent. The 46-member Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index declined 37 percent.
"Although the rules are designed to make the sector safer in the long run, which we welcome, complex, costly regulation imposed unilaterally risks the international competitiveness of the U.K. banking sector," said Jeremy Whitley, who helps manage 186 billion pounds as head of U.K. and European equities at Aberdeen Asset Management in London.
Funding Costs
The biggest threat to lenders is a jump in the cost of funding for their investment-banking divisions as the implicit government guarantee is removed, say analysts. Goodwin estimates the new rules will mean banks may have to pay an additional 1 to 2 percentage points interest when issuing debt, eating into profits. Investors are also likely to demand higher returns if rating companies downgrade banks once the subsidy deriving from implicit government support is removed, Goodwin said.
"Fifteen percent return on equity is not a realistic return," said Ismail Erturk, a senior lecturer of 24 years on banking at Manchester Business School in Manchester, England. "It has never been sustainable. It is market pressure on banks to deliver this return, which puts pressure on banks to take lots of risk."
If the recommendations are implemented, the so-called ring- fenced units will include all checking accounts, mortgages, credit cards and lending to small- and medium-sized companies, the report said. As much as a third of U.K. bank assets, or about 2.3 trillion pounds, will be walled off, while trading and investment-banking activities will be excluded. Ring-fenced banks should have an independent board, the report said.
New Capital Levels
The commission also recommended that the largest U.K. banks bolster equity capital ratios of 10 percent with an added layer of 7 percent to 10 percent of risk-weighted assets in unsecured bail-in bonds, which leave investors liable for losses if a lender gets into trouble, or contingent convertible bonds, which convert into equity if capital falls below a specific level.
"There is no clarity on how banks are supposed to reach this 17 percent to 20 percent loss-absorbency level by 2019," said Ian Gordon, head of banks research at Evolution Securities Ltd. in London. "They seem to be assuming there is some deep, liquid, well-priced market for bail-in bonds. There is no market for senior debt at the moment, let alone demand for a hybrid instrument with equity features when nobody wants them. The costs of implementation are clearly going to be material. The whole thing is bad news for the banks."
Costs at Record
European banks' costs as a proportion of market value are already at a record, according to Deutsche Bank AG analysts, who say lenders will have to undergo a process of "serious rationalization" and cost cutting before they will be considered attractive by investors again. Costs at the 47 European banks that Deutsche Bank covers have increased to 314 billion euros ($426 billion) from 302 billion euros in 2008, analysts led by Matt Spick said in an Aug. 25 note to investors.
"Any further reform measures adopted by the U.K. authorities need to be carefully analyzed and compared with those agreed internationally," the British Bankers' Association said in a statement yesterday. "It is vital that the full impact any further reforms will have on the economy, the recovery and banks' ability to support their customers in the U.K. is understood."
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, 40, said the government will pass a bill by the end of the current parliamentary session in 2015.
"We should not confuse the interest of bank shareholders with those of British taxpayers," Osborne told parliament.

It can be said that there were three layers of culture overlapping each other during the history of Vietnam: local culture, the culture that mixed with those of China and other countries in the region, and the culture that interacted with Western culture. The most prominent feature of the Vietnamese culture is that it was not assimilated by foreign cultures thanks to the strong local cultural foundations. On the contrary, it was able to utilize and localize those from abroad to enrich the national culture.

Get Your Skin Ready for Summer!
After being covered up ALL.WINTER.LONG. our skin sometimes needs a little "boost" to get whipped into shape for the summer months. Here's a few of people's biggest woes, along with some quick tips on how to get your summer glow on.
Dull, Scaly Skin – If you neglected to moisturize and exfoliate regularly over the course of the cold, dry winter, you may find yourself with parched, lackluster skin come spring. To tackle this problem, use a sugar scrub two to three times a week to gently exfoliate. Then, lightly towel dry and apply a moisturizing lotion or cream, which will penetrate your skin better after you've sloughed off that flaky, dead layer.
Wondering what to do about breakouts on your chest and back? Well, first know that it happens when your clothing traps sweat and oil — because you were working out or bundled up in layers — it can mix with dead skin and bacteria in your pores to form pimples. Use a body wash with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria and unclog pores and consider applying an alphahydroxy peel three nights a week, which helps get rid of any lingering redness once the pimples are gone.
To wrap things up for today, let's tackle rough feet and cracked heels. After a season of stomping around in boots and skimping on pedicures, your soles may be a little worse for wear, with dry, dead layers of skin that not only look bad but can be quite painful as well. To rid yourself of this woe, apply a lightweight foot lotion in the morning to soften the skin, and then soak feet in Epsom salts for 10 minutes in the evening. Then rub them with a grainy scrub, slather with a thick cream, and cover with socks.
Now that you know the tricks, you'll have summer ready skin and feet all year long!

The Kitchen Spa
While regular visits to the spa to receive a professional facial are recommended, there are also some remedies you can whip up at home to keep your skin moisturized and exfoliated on a daily basis. These remedies involve just a few foods that you are sure to have right at hand in your kitchen and they may just surprise you.
Avocadoes are loaded with vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as potassium and fat, making it the perfect moisturizer. In order to prevent your skin from becoming dry, cracked and irritated, just take a spent avocado peel and use gentle upward strokes to lightly massage your face. You may leave the moisture-locking oil on as a nighttime moisturizer or to wash your face with in the morning.
Peaches are rich sources of skin-renewing alpha-hydroxy fruit acids, which get rid of dead cells, and vitamins A and C to nourish new ones. For a simple solution to unblock pores, fight blemishes and tone your skin, just cut a slice of a peach and massage the flesh on your face. Leave the juice on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
In our Whiten Your Teeth Naturally blog, we explained to you how strawberries act as a teeth whitener. They also act as an exfoliator, with their heavy dose of Vitamin C and alpha-hydroxy acids. Mash 8-9 strawberries into a paste and add three tablespoons of honey. Apply mask directly to your skin, let sit for a few minutes and rinse off to improve texture, minimize greasiness and encourage a healthly, radiant complexion.
These at home remedies help to maintain beautiful skin through everyday life, but don't forget, professional services are still important to keep your skin healthy. Contact us at Utopia to see what we can do for your skin!

A whole lot of awareness about workplace injury and illness prevention, and $607,000* to date for Threads of Life's family support services!
*The reported total is the total as of September 9, 2016. Thank you for your tremendous support!

i guess i'm assuming there's a vet tech or two, or a vet or two on the forum, so if you guys could help, that'd be great.
i'm preparing myself for buddy to go through another back/spinal issue. i told dh that next time it happens (it'll be the 3rd time) i want to go ahead and have a myelogram done by a specialist. ya know, the thing where they inject a dye into the spinal cord to see the damage, if he needs surgery, or what have you. and i'm wondering if you might have an idea of how much something like that might cost.
i do know in order to have it done i'll need to go to the neurologist. think i would be looking at like, $500, $1000, more?
