flurazepam - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkWould be nice to see a windowed panel option (i.e. post purchase) for the existing Corsair 600T cases. Reply
Corsair Tech Marketing - Friday, January 14, 2011 - linkThose will be available soon... Reply
Meaker10 - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkI think that SSDs should have a new style of interface based of pci express lanes.
They should be able to plug straight into the motherboard with a single powered connector (possibly like mini-PCIe where it lies flat I suppose but have cable support for larger drives).
Maybe have 8-16 lanes fed to a controller chip with configurable lanes between each port say up to a maxmimum of 4 (for now). Reply
Hrel - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkSo... Why isn't anyone using fiber optics in computers yet? Intel has talked about it, ISP's are using it. Everyone knows its faster than anything out now and in a computer the length of cables doesn't need to be very long.
Get on it industry. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkOptical networking is still too expensive for the consumer market. Eg the cheapest gigabit PCIe fiber card on newegg is $200. Intel's described research that should lead to making optical connections on silicon significantly cheaper. Hopefully that will play out in the next few years; but it's not here yet. Reply
Penti - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkWhy do you need it though? We have 100GbE now over copper that is in the making. And 10GbE over copper is standard. Converting that to fiber in the switch or media converter is no problem. You can of course terminate directly into a computer if you like, but if your not running it as a router it's pointless. You use fiber optics for high-speed links or uplink/trunks in your networks and for long distances. Besides it's already used in data centers with fibre channel. Do the end user need to terminate to anything more then 1Gb ethernet over copper or multiple 1GbE? Or 10GbE over copper (or multiple bonded/trunked). Nope not even the servers need that. Well maybe if you need more then 4x10GbE in one server. But for access to the SAN there's a separate fibre channel card connected to a fibre channel switch with fiber optics. No reason to replace the Ethernet copper connection in the computer/server. Unless you need a length kilometers of cable and then fiber optics have always been the choice. Since long distances is rarely needed it don't make any sense to have fiber optics everywhere. OP actually nails it, the cables don't need to be long. If you can do 100GbE over 10 m of cable that's enough. 10 GbE handles the same distance as 1 GbE, 100 meters. Do you really need fiber optics the last meters? No. And for home use I think you prefer that you can use a cheap ethernet switch or router even if you have FTTH. It's not like it would go any faster. Reply
softdrinkviking - Saturday, January 08, 2011 - linkintel is surely making progress on lightpeak, and it will eventually be cheap enough to make it into PCs.
this is way, way future, and by the time they figure it out, or at least at some point in the future, it may be necessary for something, hey.
also, i think it's really interesting to see what comes out of running fiber in PCs beacuse it's something new and you never know what advantages may come of it.
like how toslink cables have the pleasant side-effect of relieving horrible ground hiss in audio signals out of some PCs.
not saying that we NEED fiber in our computers, but most gadget or tech hobbyists are not really concerned with what we need. It's more of a "wow look at that, that's cool" kind of thing. Reply
Penti - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkWell this kind of things are driven by the professional side, and audio has gone back to copper with HDMI and DisplayPort any way. And S/PDIF over RCA isn't bad. You still have timing errors over toslink too.
We don't really use fiber because it's faster we use it because it's more practical. For connecting cities and countries that is. Intel has demonstrated you could even use it inside computers, but they also no they don't need it.
Lightpeak might be practical, but that's just one use of fiber optics. That don't mean we will rip out are CAT6 cables and use it for ethernet. Just means it will be used for some high-performance and consumer devices. How it advances in the data centers is something fully other thing though. It will be other standards there. Reply
semo - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkAny word on current memory fabrication? I remember Samsung was talking about 2xnm node RAM that was supposed to work at 1.35V. Reply
BathroomFeeling - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkAny word as to what that super secret Coolermaster thing "worth waiting for" is? Reply
adonn78 - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkI cannot wait for the price drop in SSD's. I also love newegg and they are far more reliable than Amazon. Amazon is a great place for buying text books, toiletries, and clothes and prepaid phone. newegg is wher eI go for computers and other hardware. I bought a microwave off newegg that less expensive than the same product on amazon. It depends ont he item largely. I am also looking forward to Sandy bridge copmputer on newegg. I plan on buying soon. Reply
MeanBruce - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkNews Flash! Corsair finally understands airflow! Only takes them three years! Finally an obsidian that's not a hotbox. The new 650D is sporting fully removable drive cages, 200mm in and out even vented card slots. Looks like they took many features right off the HAF 912 Advanced, but that's fine add some Corsair style and elegance and I am in baby! Wonder if it will feature the new "Corsair Link". Man I love those huge rubber grommets! How many days till April? Reply
Mr Perfect - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkHas Corsair released any specs on the mechanical keyboard? Does it use some flavor of Cherry MX switch? Alps maybe? Also, does it support NKey rollover with PS/2 or 6Key rollover withUSB? Reply
GNva - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkWhat´s the point to go to a show and not disclose your products?
My computer was recently stolen and they took away my Stacker 832 case. I was looking for a replacement but I was not convinced with the current models. If I see the Cosmos S, their front interior looks similar to the stacker. I am hoping that the next high end case will be like the HAF X internally, but full aluminium. It´s said that a new case design is very expensive to put on production, so I expect a lot of reuse.
Now I lost the opportunity to know if I must wait or not. Reply
MeanBruce - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkI have a Stacker 830 Special Edition Black Full Aluminum, in perfect condition that I am going to sell. The 830 SE has the mesh panel on the floor and the SSD module with blue LEDs in the top mesh panel, very cool. Let me know if you want it. Yeah I think a new case design is very costly to implement. Bruce Reply
DanNeely - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkYou can get more people to see a demo behind closed doors at a big show than if you wait several months and then do something where they have to spend extra money just to fly out and get a hotel room. Some vendors do this every year. There're even vendors who don't join the show, but instead rent space in neighboring hotels and invite journalists in to see what they can't afford to demo at the big show. Reply
GNva - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkInteresting. Now, why invite journalists if they won't allow them to say anything?
For all we know, they are talking about sliced bread. Reply
DanNeely - Saturday, January 08, 2011 - linkBecause they will say something *when the nda expires*, and doing it this way is cheaper, provided that there aren't any major changes between now and release. Reply
ClagMaster - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkSATA 6G does not have enough bandwidth?
How much is really enough for non-industrial, consumer applications ?
Loading Vista or Windows 7 at SATA 6G speeds is lightening fast. Reply
Nentor - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkThanks for that (I had to look it up). Reply

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP — Dozens of environmental advocates and area residents strongly condemned a draft plan that would allow a 22-mile natural gas pipeline through the Pinelands in exchange for $8 million from the pipeline's owner, South Jersey Gas. More than 200 people packed into a public hearing held in the courtroom at the Galloway Township Municipal Building on Monday. Several dozen were not allowed to enter the room at the peak of the hearing because of fire code restrictions.
By 8 p.m., nearly 75 people had spoken, with dozens more still waiting.
Advocates warned that building a pipeline would cause significant damage to the environment, the plan lacks an independent environmental impact study, and the draft memorandum of agreement itself had the appearance of a conflict of interest and potentially violated the Pinelands Commission's own rules.
"There's a lot of political money and political muscle being brought to bear," said Eric Sauder. "(The agreement) is really a waiver because it waives the terms of the management agreement and it should be treated as such."
The agreement, which would be between South Jersey Gas, the Board of Public Utilities and the Pinelands Commission, calls for a payment of $8 million, with $7.25 million going toward land preservation and $750,000 going to pay for education programs and a new visitor's center at the commission's headquarters in New Lisbon, Burlington County.
The proposed pipeline would travel 22 miles from a pipeline junction in Maurice River Township near Millville to the B.L. England power plant in Beesleys Point, Upper Township. Most of the route traverses existing road right of ways, and workers would use a specialized drilling technique to build the line under wetlands and waterways.
South Jersey Gas spokesman Dan Lockwood said the rumors that, in the future, the pipeline could be used to export liquefied natural gas are not true and that construction would not create a wide disturbance along both sides of the road.
Lockwood also said that the reason for redundancy measures — the project will back up existing natural gas supplies to the county — was the concern that if one part of a loop was damaged, 142,000 customers could be vulnerable to having no gas service until the line was fixed. The pipeline would help create a pipeline loop where gas could be piped in around any break in the line, he said.
Bob Marshall, executive director of the New Jersey Energy Coalition, said the pipeline is an important investment into the state's energy infrastructure. "The time for improving New Jersey's infrastructure and generation options is now," he said. "The proposed pipeline is a step in the right direction and we support the MOA."
Doug O'Malley, director of Environment NJ, said that by releasing the draft agreement the day before Thanksgiving and holding the public hearing 10 days later, the commission did not give the public enough time to learn about the issue.
Previous MOAs made it clear that the agreements would not set precedents, O'Malley said. However, he said, this agreement does not have that safeguard.
"This MOA calls into question … the Pinelands Commission and its integrity," O'Malley said. "The more you dig into the MOA, the more squishy it gets."
Will Pauls, president of the South Jersey Building Trades Council, said his organization supports the pipeline, not just because of the jobs it would create, but also because converting the coal-fired B.L. England plant to gas would be better for air quality. "We've talked for years to get gas in there," he said. "We have the opportunity to do that right now."
Pauls and other construction workers also said a pipeline was recently finished on Route 50 in Cape May County. "I ask anyone in this room to go up to that road and see where that gas line was," Pauls said.
A cornerstone of the MOA's environmental protection measures is setting aside $7.25 million of the $8 million payment for land acquisition for preservation near the pipeline's route, said Chris Jage, an assistant director with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
However, Jage said, land preservation acquisitions require a two to one funding match, meaning the $7.25 million would need $14.5 million from other sources. "Right now there's no state money," he said. Major foundations, he said, rarely supply large amounts of funding to southern New Jersey and funding does not cover costs for surveys and other needs.
Jage said the conservation foundation examined the parcels along the route and found 95 percent of them were less than one acre in size. Smaller lots, he said, would require higher transaction costs.
"I would argue there's a leap of faith that because this money is set aside that some land will be protected," Jage said.
Margate resident Joel Fogel, who was representing multiple environmental groups, warned that groups already are preparing legal injunctions if the commission passes the MOA.

Economics is one of the most popular majors at Hampden-Sydney College. In the junior and senior classes, 3% are Mathematical Economics majors, 14% are Economics and Business majors, and 17% are Economics majors.
Through this program, Hampden-Sydney College provides superb undergraduate preparation for a career in business, banking, and finance grounded in the breadth and depth of a liberal arts education. However, it goes a step further by allowing you to leverage the College's connections - formal and informal - with renowned graduate programs.
The Darden School of Business shares a formal Memorandum of Understanding with Hampden-Sydney College for admission to their elite MBA program. Interested applicants must contact the Dean of the Faculty by the beginning of November to be considered. The agreement allows the following privileges to five graduates selected by the Provost and President of the College:
Hampden-Sydney also benefits from a strong (but informal) relationship with the McIntire School's one-year graduate degrees in business which offers an M.S. in Commerce.
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business shares a formal Memorandum of Understanding with Hampden-Sydney College for their one year Master's of Management Studies program, which provides an excellent education in the foundations of business. This agreement allows Hampden-Sydney students to apply and be accepted to the MMS program at Fuqua during their junior year. Up to four students, nominated by the Provost and the President for the program, will receive the following privileges:
Wake Forest's Babcock School of Business and Hampden-Sydney College have an established formal relationship. The Wake Forest--Hampden-Sydney Honors Program focuses on preferred admission for Hampden-Sydney students to the Wake Forest MA in Management Program that consists of:
The University of North Carolina has one of the best Master's of Accounting (MAC) programs in the southeast. Hampden-Sydney regularly places graduates in the 12-month program designed specifically for students with liberal arts undergraduate backgrounds.
William & Mary actively recruits on campus for its one-year Master's in Accounting degree program and Hampden-Sydney often sends multiple students per year to their highly-ranked program. William and Mary's Mason School of Business also recruits Hampden-Sydney students to pursue a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) directly out of undergraduate school, and several of Hampden-Sydney's most successful alumni have earned their MBAs from the school.
While at Hampden-Sydney your preparation for a career in business, banking, or finance is enhanced beyond your coursework. The Center for Entrepreneurship and Political Economy (CEPE) motivates students to actively seek opportunities in entrepreneurship and scholarship while developing a network of alumni and friends. Internships provide real-world experience and jump-start your resume, making you more likely to receive a job offer.
Whether your immediate goal is graduate study or a paycheck, Hampden-Sydney's Department of Economics and Business will help you create a path that will lead to your goal by using our career Tiger Tracks in either Banking and Finance or Entrpreneurship, providing you with a roadmap of classes, extracurricular activities, resources, and alumni connections toward a career in business, banking, and finance.

Charlotte Gentry Burks (born October 3, 1942) is a farmer and Democratic party politician in Tennessee who represented the 15th District as State Senator from 1998 until 2015.
Burks was born in 1942 in Gainesboro, Tennessee, and lives in Monterey, Tennessee.[1][2] She was married to Tommy Burks, a Tennessee State Senator. They had three children together one of whom is former Putnam County Executive Kim Blaylock. She also has 11 grandchildren[2] In 1998, after her husband was assassinated during an election campaign by his Republican challenger Byron "Low-Tax" Looper, she became a write-in candidate for his seat. Although she did not campaign, she defeated Looper by a landslide margin,[3] receiving 95% of the vote[4] and becoming the first write-in candidate to win a seat in the Tennessee State Senate. She began her Senate service with the 101st General Assembly.
She was reelected in 2002 and 2006 with no substantive opposition.[citation needed] In 2010, when Republicans picked up many seats in the General Assembly, Burks won re-election to a fourth four-year term by a margin of just 183 votes over her Republican opponent, Gary Steakley.[3] Burks carried five of the six counties in the largely rural district, losing only in Cumberland County. An independent candidate placed third in the vote.[3] Steakley challenged the results, claiming irregularities on election day, but a State Senate committee found that there was insufficient evidence to question the outcome.[5][6]
In the Senate, Burks served as the secretary of the education committee; as a member of the joint study economic development; government operations; select on children and youth; and the environment, conservation, and tourism committees. On September 8, 2013 she announced her retirement and that she would not run for reelection to the State Senate in 2014.[7] On Election Day, the Republican candidate won the seat.[8]

Updated: Gas prices rise
Liquigas this evening announced an increase in gas prices, blaming high international prices.
The company said the 12kg cylinder, which is the mostly widely used, now costs €20.60 up by €1 euro since the last increase, also of €1, in September.
The 15kg cylinder costs €25.80, up by €1.30
The increase was announced just as Finance Minister Tonio Fenech started his Budget speech. Later in the speech the minister announced a €10 increase in the gas component of the energy benefit given by the government to 24,000 needy families.

The Green Bay Packers will host the New Orleans Saints when the NFL convenes its 2011 season on Sept. 8 ... hopefully.
The league revealed its regular-season schedule on Tuesday, despite the ominous ongoing lockout that threatens to shutter the games.
Even as negotiators from the league and NFL Players Association met in Minneapolis trying to solve their labor impasse, the league passed out the schedules that they hope will be completed in full.
WEEK BY WEEK : See the full lineup
"While labor uncertainty is a reality for us right now, it is impossible to plan for every eventuality in terms of the playing schedule," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
"We have prepared and are planning to play a full 16-game regular-season schedule. If and when it becomes clear that we cannot play the schedule as it was announced today, we will make the appropriate adjustments with an eye toward minimizing changes."
LINGERING QUESTIONS: NFL creates uncertainty for fans
The NFLPA did not yet respond to a question about its view of the league releasing the schedule after locking out the players.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told the NFL Network he wanted fans to be happy about the schedules.
"We know that it is an important point where fans start looking forward to the season," Goodell said.
"And I think there's every reason for them to do that. We have every intention of playing the full season."
The Packers' opening night game continues the tradition of the Super Bowl champion opening the season three days before the rest of the league. Matched against the Saints, the game will feature the past two Super Bowl champions with their marquee quarterbacks -- Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.
"I am excited, No. 1, just to be the team to open the season," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "That is always a fun game to watch, and to play the Saints here at home, I think it's a game everybody is going to be excited about."
The full Week 1 schedule will kick off on Sunday, Sept. 11, with games in New York and Washington helping to mark the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The Washington Redskins will host the New York Giants in an afternoon game, while the New York Jets will host the Dallas Cowboys in the nationally-televised night game. The Week 1 schedule will conclude on Monday, when the New England Patriots travel to play the Miami Dolphins and the Oakland Raiders visit the Denver Broncos in the nightcap.
Other highlights from the schedule:

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Doug O'Neill says he'll delay from today until Wednesday in moving Triple Crown hopeful I'll Have Another to the newly mandated security barn at Belmont Park. And I'll Have Another's buddy horse won't be joining him in his new digs.
Under rules announced last week by New York racing officials, all entrants in Saturday's Belmont Stakes must be in the same security barn (barn No. 2) by noon Wednesday. I'll Have Another has been in barn No. 9.
O'Neill said he was planning to attend a Belmont Stakes media luncheon today in Manhattan and that he wants to be at the track when the move is made. So he put if off a day.
"It looks like now tomorrow after he trains,'' said O'Neill.
Lava Man, a retired horse once trained by O'Neil l, is a calming influence on I'll Have Another. He led I'll Have Another in the post parade for his victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He leads him back and forth to the track for daily workouts at Belmont Park and is stabled with him.
But Lava Man won't be going to the new barn.
"We went over there yesterday, and I just think it would be too nerve-wracking for him (Lava Man), so we'll leave him here," O'Neill said outside barn No. 9.
"He'll still chaperone him every morning, but I'm worried that I'll Have Another is such a relaxed, cool horse in the stall. I worry that Lava Man might get a little anxious (in the new barn), and I'll Have Another will wonder what big brother is all anxious about. So we'll leave Lava here.

MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota Twins center fielder Torii Hunter left Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers with a bruised left hand after a pitch from Jeff Suppan hit him in the first inning.
He did not need X-rays and was listed as day-to-day, but wore a heavy wrap on his hand after the 10-9 victory over the Brewers and said that he planned to play on Monday against the New York Mets.
With a runner on third and two outs, Suppan's breaking ball got away from him and came in high and tight on Hunter, who tried to back away. But Hunter moved too late, and the pitch hit him on the hand.
Hunter grimaced in pain and doubled over a few feet down the first-base line, and a team trainer came out to examine him along with Hunter's son, who was serving as a bat boy on Father's Day. The trainer appeared to be examining the knuckle on the forefinger of his left hand.
"It was scary," Hunter said about when he looked at his swelling hand. "It seemed like it was growing as I was looking at it. It was like a 'Tom and Jerry' cartoon."
Hunter initially tried to stay in the game, but then quickly jogged off first base and was replaced by pinch runner Lew Ford, who also took over in center field for the six-time Gold Glove winner.
Losing Hunter for any significant stretch of time would be a huge blow to the offensively challenged Twins. In the final year of his contract, Hunter is hitting .307 with 14 homers and 54 RBIs.
The heart and soul of the clubhouse, Hunter is one of only two Twins - along with MVP Justin Morneau - to have double-digit homers and he also had a 23-game hitting streak earlier this year.

College Opportunity Fund
Local college students still have time to sign up for the
College Opportunity Fund
While Colorado has long subsidized the cost of college for its residents, the funding has historically been directed to colleges in the form of enrollment funding. According to Jim Rizzuto, president of Otero Junior College, the new funding formula, passed into law last spring, serves a dual purpose. "The new funding formula shows all Colorado residents that college is possible with the help of the state subsidies and it also releases some state colleges and universities from the revenue limitations of TABOR - the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights," said Rizzuto. "If a college meets Tabor's criteria of receiving 10 percent or less of their revenues from the state's general fund they could potentially be relieved of the Tabor limitation that restrict the percentage of tuition increases.
The stipends will be considered cash funds rather than state funds for Tabor purposes. To accomplish this, state funding will first go to the student, and then be transferred to their in-state college of choice. There are some limiting factors for students attending private in-state colleges," Rizzuto explained.
Once the College Opportunity Fund is activated in fall 2005, students will be able to go online and see the total dollars the state contributes to their college education and then direct those dollars to the college they are attending.
Students will be able to monitor the number of credit hours for which their stipend has paid.
To be eligible to receive the stipend, students must first sign up online with the College Opportunity Fund. Those who do not sign up will be liable for higher tuition rates, similar to the rates paid by out-of-state students. A student only has to sign up once; however, the student will have to authorize payment of the funds each semester to the college they are attending. Those funds will not pass directly into the hands of the student; instead, payment will be sent to the student's college in their name. The value of the stipend is a per-credit-hour amount that will be determined annually by the legislature.
Rizzuto emphasized that the establishment of the College Opportunity Fund does not provide any additional funding for higher education. "The funding is the same state support students have always received. Historically the support has been part of a student's tuition amount, but it has never been reflected on students' tuition bills. Instead, institutions have shown only the student's portion of tuition on the bill. Now colleges are required to show total tuition cost on a student's tuition bill and then reduce the total tuition by the stipend amount," he said.
Students will not automatically get their stipend when they enroll in a Colorado college unless they sign up for the College Opportunity Fund. To sign up, students may access the site through the OJC website at: www.ojc.edu or by accessing www.CollegeInColorado.org and click on the College Opportunity Fund logo located on the homepage. The process is simple: Type in the student's name, Social Security number and date of birth in the appropriate boxes and click on the "submit" button. Students only have to sign up once, even if they transfer to a different in-state college.
For more information about signing up for the College Opportunity Fund, contact Otero Junior College at 719-384-6831. The Student Services Center at OJC has dedicated a bank of computers in the Student Services lobby for use by students signing up for COF. Specific questions concerning the College Opportunity Fund can be emailed to: email@example.com.

Chair's Welcome and Department Overview
Welcome to the Department of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro! Our department is proud to now be a member of the new School of Health and Human Sciences, which combines departments and programs from our previous home in Human Environmental Sciences, from the School of Health and Human Performance, and from the Graduate School.
Our department has three primary missions: a) to educate students, North Carolinians, and others across the country about human development, how people change over times, and how important contexts, primarily families, influence development; b) to generate new knowledge about children, adolescents, adults, and older adults and how they develop over time in their primary relationships and families; and c) to apply knowledge generated from research to improve the lives of individuals and families across the state of North Carolina and beyond.
To accomplish these goals, we offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral level degrees in HDFS, as well as a joint master's program, the B-K:ISED (birth to kindergarten education) degree with UNCG's Department of Specialized Educational Services. At all 3 levels of training, we offer options that allow students to specialize in Birth through Kindergarten (BK) Teacher Licensure, care and education of young children, and Child, Youth, & Family Development.
We also offer an online, Two Plus version of the Early Care and BK concentrations for students with an Associates degree from North Carolina community colleges. In addition to offering a B-K degree, the Department offers courses for individuals who wish to do the coursework necessary for a license to be a birth through kindergarten educator but who do not want to get a degree. We are proud that our Ph.D. program is the only one of its kind in the state of North Carolina and is known nationally and internationally as one of the premier HDFS programs in the country.
HDFS at UNCG has a number of well-funded research projects; has recently housed the editorships of the two major family studies journals (Journal of Marriage and Family and Family Relations); manages the Child Care Education Program (CCEP), which provides child care and educational services for approximately 75 young children and that serves as a learning laboratory for UNCG students training to work with children; runs the Family Research Center; and is a key player in the Child and Family Research Network, which is an interdisciplinary network of scholars interested in children and families. Integrated within all of our scholarly and educational programs is a focus on diversity, with attention to understanding and meeting the needs of oppressed and vulnerable individuals and families.
With over 400 undergraduate majors, 50 graduate students, many courses being offered both face-to-face and online, and in excess of 4 million dollars per year in research funding, it is clear that HDFS is an integral player in the fabric of UNCG. We are passionate in our efforts to study, educate, and serve children, adolescents, and adults in relationships and families.
We hope you enjoy looking through our web pages, getting to know our faculty and graduate students, learning about our degree programs and course offerings, and getting a sense of the kinds of research projects we are engaged in. We are always looking for talented and enthusiastic students to take our courses, to pursue undergraduate and graduate study with us, to contribute to research projects, and to share our excitement with applying our scholarly work to helping diverse groups of people and their families function more effectively.
Mark Fine
Department Chair, UNCG HDFS Department

Tony Plush's act finally went national. It was a decidedly obscene event.
Nyjer Morgan, whose alter ego, Tony Plush, has become a burgeoning cult figure in Milwaukee, sent the Brewers to their first league championship series since 1982 with a one-out, walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning of Game 5 of their NL Division Series.
His hit eliminated the Arizona Diamondbacks and set off the largest celebration in Wisconsin since the Packers won the Super Bowl.
After the requisite on-field celebration, TBS sideline reporter Sam Ryan turned first to superstars Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. Inevitably, she'd eventually have to question Morgan -- whose antics have rankled opponents, but delighted Brewers fans.
Morgan did not wait for his turn in the spotlight.
As she finished with Braun, Morgan got close to the microphone, turned toward the crowd (but surely was aware of the camera), and yelled a two-word celebratory exclamation. They made a T-shirt out of said phrase in San Francisco after Tim Lincecum said the same thing last year.
Morgan made it through his actual interview unscathed, but the damage was done -- at least from TBS and the FCC's viewpoint.
Where will he and the Brewers go from here? They may look like a team of destiny now, and the "Plushdamentals" brand may never be stronger.
So what happens if Morgan should get another walk-off hit in the NLCS or, dare we say, the World Series? Maybe a seven-second delay is in order.
Just call it the Plush Shush.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

TOP STORY > >Hospital could be sold in days
Leader staff writer
Officials are hoping to seal a deal for the sale of the North Metro Regional Hospital facility possibly by the end of this week, certainly by the end of the year, to preserve it as an acute-care provider for Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
Financial losses in the millions in recent years are forcing the city to sell the facility. Negotiations are under way with Allegiance Health Management, a firm based in Shreveport, La.
Negotiations have been going on every day for weeks. Our goal is to have something final no later than December 31, said
Mayor Tommy Swaim, who also serves as chairman of the hospitals board of directors.
With the sale, the hospital would no longer be a private, not-for-profit entity with 501(c)3, tax-exempt status. It would become a private, corporate entity. Access to emergency services, however, would be unchanged, Swaim believes.
Hospitals with emergency care have to see people with emergencies that is true with all hospitals, Swaim said. I dont see any changes in how the emergency room operates, unless there is an after-hours clinic.
The opening of an after-hours clinic to provide urgent care for conditions such as colds, flu, and other non-emergency medical needs, is still on the table as part of the deal with Allegiance, he said.
The after-hours clinic would not be a free clinic, but a place to come to get medical services during hours when business offices are closed, diverting those patients from the hospitals busy emergency department.
Brig. General Rowayne Schatz, top commander at Little Rock Air Force Base, said in an interview Monday that the base relies on the hospital.
North Metro is the closest emergency-room facility, the general said. We dont have an ER in the base clinic. We rely on them for medical services in our local community, to provide an emergency room and in-patient services.
We do send several of our airmen and their families to North Metro and theyve been a good provider for us and weve been monitoring their situation as a customer, he said. But we have no sway.
If North Metro fails to get an operating agreement or sale, base personnel would have to use another facility, he said.
The last year that the hospital operated in the black was 2003-04, when it closed the fiscal year June 30, 2004 with a $652,000 positive income. The next year, net income slipped to the other side of the ledger with a $98,000 loss. In 2005-06, losses totaled $804,000, then jumped to $3 million in 2006-07. The 2007-08 fiscal year closed out with a net negative income of $2.38 million.
Much of North Metros losses are attributable to uncompensated and charity care, as well as the low reimbursement level for Medicaid and Medicare patients.
The federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act mandates that any hospital that gets Medicare and Medicaid funding and essentially all do must provide a medical screening and treatment if necessary for anyone who comes to the emergency room, regardless of their ability to pay.
Hospitals treat according to their capability and stabilize for transfer, Paul Cunningham, senior vice president for Arkansas Hospital Association, said.
Once a patients condition is stabilized, the hopitals legal obligation is fulfilled. For a patient who seeks emergency care at a hospital and then finds he needs further services for a serious medical condition, most hospitals through their social workers will try to find where a patient can get the services he needs, Cunningham said.
As part of the purchase, Allegiance Health Management has agreed to pay the appraised price of the North Metro facility or existing bond debt, whichever is more. After review of a preliminary appraisal, city and hospital officials asked Allegiance to go back to have a re-look at some issues, Swaim said. A revised appraisal is expected any day now.
Swaim was reluctant to disclose any more specifics about what is on the table with Allegiance because of a promise by city officials to not publicize any details until a deal is finalized.
Otherwise, they could back out of a deal if they wanted to, Swaim said. They dont want this information getting out to their competitors.
As for the fate of the current hospitals chief executive officer, Scott Landrum, and interim chief financial officer Cal Brummund, Swaim said that they may or may not stay on at North Metro once an agreement is reached.
Thats for them to work out with the new management company, Swaim said.
Landrum, Cal Brummund, and Allegiance Health Management were not available for comment.

West Virginia murder suspect arrested in Butler
One of two men wanted for the 2010 murder of a man in West Virginia has been captured by federal marshals in Butler.
Western Pennsylvania U.S. Marshal Steve Frank says Darnell Carlton Bouie, 35, was arrested Friday morning.
He has been ordered held without bond as a fugitive from justice in the Butler County Jail until he can be extradited to Clarksburg, W. Va., where he's charged with first-degree murder. Online court records don't list an attorney for Bouie.
He's charged along with Ennis Charles Payne in the Jan. 13, 2010, shooting of Jayar Poindexter at an apartment building in Clarksburg. Payne was arrested last month by Clarksburg police.
Bouie is originally from Pittsburgh and the marshals had been looking for him at the request of the Clarksburg police.

Let's say I have a many-to-many relationship like this...
And in my junction table, I have these fields...
ORDER_DETAILS table
- id
- order_no
- product_no
- quantity
- order_price
and so on...
1.) Does having both a Derived Key ("id") and Natural Keys ("order_no", "product_no") invalidate 3NF?
2.) If there was only a Natural Key, does having a Composite Primary Key invalidate 3NF?
3.) Is there anything that would prevent this table from being in 3NF?
3NF is best described as saying everything in the table depends on the primary key, the whole primary key and nothing but the key.
Another way to look at is to say there should be no redundant cells in your table.
Sent from my XT316 using Tapatalk 2
Yes - you wouldn't have the derived key in your 3NF logical design - you'd add it to the physical design if there are reasons for not using the natural key as the primary index.
Yes, to convert that to 3NF you'd delete the derived keys. Derived keys only exist in 3NF when there is no combination of fields that could form a natural key.
Your logical database design should be fully normalised but the actual physical design that you implement may undo normalisations for a variety of reasons (eg, the natural key being too long or involving too many fields, or the database accesses being 99% writing and almost no reading of data)
I don't think I agree. There is certainly a reason not to have wide tables but I have not found a good reason yet to have duplicated data in tables (which is basically what non-3NF causes or allows to happen).
Also having alternate or secondary keys in a table doesn't, in itself, break 3NF.
Not really, because 3NF is not about how you create the PK, it is about how the rest of the data depends on the PK.Or as Codd put it: "Every non-key attribute must provide a fact about the key, the whole key, and nothing but the key."
Your surrogate key would be generated to be unique in the table so this table itself makes the id dependant on the candidate key of order_no+product_no.
In fact, your id would be an orderline_no, which is something you want as way for your customers to reference in their order.
Composite keys are just keys, they change nothing about the first three NFs.
Not as long as you put your constraints in place properly.
In fact, without the id column joining requires fun queries like:
SELECT * FROM ORDER_DETAILS INNER JOIN othertable ON (ORDER_DETAILS.order_no, ORDER_DETAILS.product_no) = (othertable.product_no, othertable.product_no);
As a sidenote to make your life easier:Don't use the nondescriptive name "id" for the surrogate key. The reason is that many tables will get this 'id' column and when you join them, the result will get several 'id' columns that you cannot tell apart in your application. You can work around that by aliassing the columns in the queries (SELECT orderdetails.id AS orderdetail_id), but you can imagine how that's going to work; you'll forget aliases, you'll alias the wrong id's, you'll use different aliasses, poop will fly. But the simplest argument is that if you are going to provide a different name for the id colujmns in just about every query, why not just name the column so that you don't have to alias it in the first place?
you make a great case, but i'm gonna go ahead and disagree anyway
use "id" for the PK when it's an obvious surrogate key (like an auto_increment)
use "entity_id" for every FK that references the PK
that way, in your queries, you can immediately discern the one-to-many relationships involved
nothing worse than trying to understand a query and every key is named foo_id and bar_id and qux_id
trust me, a column alias is the least of your worries, clear and unambiguous relationships are worth it
In my experience nondescript names like 'id' and aliases provide 90% of the ambiguity.
But we agree that you should use names that make clear what you are referering to. How you do that is a matter of personal preference.
by this comment, i'm not sure you understood my point
"id" used only for PK, and "foo_id" used only for FK
that's clearly unambiguous
"id" used only for PK, and "foo_id" used only for FKthat's clearly unambiguous
Untill you do a join, when you'll have two "id" columns and where you cannot alias foo.id to foo_id anymore because that's already a real column in the other table.
Yes, I am pedantic
Ideally, and I admit I rarely do this, you'd prefix the PK and FK with pk_ and fk_ so you'd get pk_foo_id and fk_foo_id. Then when you join foo to bar you have pk_foo_id, pk_bar_id and fk_bar_id. The only occasion where you can get ambiguity then is if you join multiple tables that have an FK to the PK, and you're doing an OUTER JOIN. Yopu could solve that by mentioning the relation in the FK, but that's taking it very very far indeed: fk_bar_foo_id, which just looks silly.
But, this is above all a matter of taste and what you're used to. I put this in here mainly to show that there is no generally accepted "best practice" for this, each method has it's pro's and con's.
you wouldn't need to see both foo.id and bar.foo_id, because in a join they'd be equal!!
unless of course you're using the dreaded, evil "select star" to bring in more columns than you really need
We're getting a little distracted by this discussion
They wont be equal in a LEFT JOIN or in any other join that does not require that foo.id=bar.foo_id.In fact, they will only be equal if you do a straight INNER JOIN on foo.id=bar.foo_id. Which are the simplest queries where you typically don't get confused about where the fields are coming from.
You do have a colourful way of saying "it's usually not the best choice".
Yes, Vinny, you are being very distracting... (This thread isn't about how you like to label fields.)
you started it... "As a sidenote to make your life easier:"
Yes, Vinny, you are being very distracting... (This thread isn't about how you like to label fields.)
I'm so sorry i tried to help.
I just gave some extra advice, but apparently contradicting the local experts is "not done" here, as it appears to be on most forums.
Well nevermind, I'll leave you to handle it.
So having a Derived Key ("id") and a Natural Composite Key ("order_no" + "product_no") in the Physical Design breaks 3NF? :-/
I used to know this stuff cold, but when I went to refresh my memory last night, I found link after link of confusing and often very theoretical descriptions.
From what I was able to gather, if you have a Composite PK, you need to make sure that every non-Key field is dependent on the entire Composite PK.
Is that correct?
And if it is, and I had to defend the fields in my OP, then can you help me figure out how to do that?
I guess my response would be that "quantity" is a function of the Order and Product together. Likewise, "order_price" is a function of the Product at the time of the Order.
Is that true for the Physical Model as well?
Start another thread on what you think about Field Naming and I'll tell you my thoughts there.
My goal here is to make sure my rusty memory of 3NF is correct.
Ok, I see where I went wrong.
1NF is that table data should be atomic (MyBB forum software heartily breaks this rule.)
2NF is every table field depends on the key (but not that you can't have secondary keys or composite keys.) This was my error in my first post to this thread.
3NF is that no table field should depend on only part of a composite key because that would cause duplicates.
1NF, 2NF are the obvious cases. 3NF is about not duplicating table data in order to satisfy a bad table design.
There is nothing in 3NF to say you can't or shouldn't have secondary keys.
PS: I'm no resident sitepoint expert. I doubt anyone is censured for disagreeing with me. Maybe if we learn to leave our egos at the front entrance we might enjoy the conversation more. After all its only a forum and why do we want to let the odd spate of immaturity ruin our day. Time to get a bit of perspective folks.
where did this come from? i loved our interchange, and i hope to have more
there are no normal forms in physical design -- just tables
see? this stuff is easy
So is the table in my OP in 3rd NF (if the "id" field was removed)?
Here it is again...
ORDER_DETAILS table
- order_no (PK1)
- product_no (PK2)
- quantity
- order_price

Water Agency To Test For Wyle ChemicalsMay 21, 2003 | THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE A water agency will be testing for contaminants near Wyle Laboratories to protect its workers. But school district officials remain unable to decide whether to test for contaminants at campuses near the top-secret testing facility or to wait for the water board to test the sites.
Starting today, the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, which is installing a drinking water pipeline down Hillside Avenue between Wyle Labs and Norco High School, will test for contaminants where construction takes place. It's proper procedure for the safety of pipeline workers, Eldon Horst, executive manager of the authority, said by phone.
The authority will bore only as deep as the pipeline, testing soil and possibly water for hazardous chemicals such as trichloroethene, vinyl chloride, dichloroethene and perchlorate, all of which have been found in the groundwater at Wyle. The results are expected back in about five days, Horst said.
The Corona-Norco school board on Tuesday said it would like to see the water board expedite its plans to test groundwater in the area. Board member Carole Garlind recommended lobbying legislators and regulatory agencies, "to show that we need something done because of our possibly at-risk students."
The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has directed Wyle to begin testing in the neighborhood to determine if harmful chemicals are flowing off the property and into people's yards.

Demi Lovato's 'Shut Up & Love Me' Leaked (AUDIO)
Hardcore Demi fans were sent into a tizzy on Tuesday when a short clip of "Shut Up and Love Me" was released online. Demi's rep tells Celebuzz that the track is "an old song." The track will most likely not be appearing on Demi 's upcoming 2011 album.
Listen to the clip below.
The clip is short but the lyrics still packed a big punch. "Shut up and love me," Demi sings, "'Cause you already got me/ I don't need words, I need time in your arms."
Last year the song was the subject of multiple Rick Rolling pranks pulled by Demi fans. Pranksters would set up videos on YouTube promising the "full song" but the hopeful viewer would be met with a Rick Roll. Oops!
What do you think of the authentic clip? Would you want to see this new song on Demi's new album? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Some NSFW pictures of a young Betty White were released on the internet today and, I must say, she is looking pretty winsome. In the vein of the original Playboy aesthetic, these photos are natural and cute and smiley. Congrats, Betty White enthusiasts! You now have some new masturbatory fodder.

After years of fighting the hated "sick tax," Utah hospitals are working with legislative leaders to craft a new levy aimed at helping pay for treating Utah's poor.
The change would bring in as much as $75 million in new funding, more than two-thirds of it in federal dollars, to cover some of the costs for treating Medicaid patients.
"It's not something we really want to do, because it's not necessarily our responsibility to fund the Medicaid program. It's a federal and state program," said Joe Krella, president of the Utah Hospital Association. "But we recognize the financial and budgetary constraints the state has and the Legislature is grappling with and we're willing to come forward with an assessment on the hospitals."
To get the federal money, the Legislature would have to impose a new tax on hospitals of about $23 million, but Krella said insured patients wouldn't be stuck paying that amount.
That's because the hospitals hope to arrange it so the tax is paid after the providers have already received the Medicaid payments, meaning the $23 million paid to the state would come out of the reimbursement dollars from the feds. The remainder would help bolster the rate hospitals are paid to care for Medicaid patients.
Should it pass, the increase in the state hospital tax would come after years of effort by the hospital association to beat back proposals to raise the levy, which they denounced as a "sick tax," paid by the people who end up in the hospital.
But the change of heart came after the Legislature made deep cuts to the Medicaid payments. That rate was cut 15 percent in the current year, and hospitals are facing an additional 17 percent cut next year.
In his budget proposal last week, Gov. Gary Herbert did not include any funding to soften those cuts, nor did he recommend adoption of the hospital tax increase.
If the new hospital tax is adopted, it would restore a portion of those cuts, but the reimbursement would still be about 10 percent lower than it was two years ago, Krella said.
Steve Perlin, a Chicago-based executive with Health Management Associates, a consulting company that the hospital association has hired, estimates that half the states have done what Utah's hospitals are advocating, and several more are looking at making the change.
Perlin's group is working closely with federal regulators and state health officials to make sure the program is structured in a way that would be approved by the federal government.
State lawmakers have mixed feelings about the hospitals proposal, fearing that it might be little more than a state grab for federal dollars that will exacerbate the federal debt.
"There's a part of me that says it makes sense to bring back some of the federal tax dollars we pay back into the state to pay for some of our health and human services challenges," said House Speaker Dave Clark, R-Santa Clara. "At the same time, Washington spending is so out of control, are we helping or hindering that [problem]?"

After selecting such instruments and drugs as he required, he came back in the dogcart.
I even saw you pass with Sibyl in the dogcart, but you didn't see me.
To tell the truth, the dogcart and the horse were the objects of interest.
A dogcart was standing before the inn door in readiness for von Brning.
Not caring to send the horse to the stable, he left me outside in the dogcart when he entered the house.
Kate was already out of the dogcart, and now took Bell by the hand.
The coachman was sent down with the dogcart; but if Mr Ratman expected any further demonstration of welcome, he was disappointed.
"We have one man on the books who owns a dogcart," resumed Miss Buller.
When the dogcart was brought out, he shook his hand very heartily.
She drives me to their house in a dogcart, and will bring me back again.

PHILADELPHIA – On July 24, world-renowned fitness expert and creator of the P90X workout Tony Horton was in Philadelphia to receive the Chevalier Jackson Healthcare Innovator Award from Penn Medicine. During his visit to Philadelphia, he took time to tour Penn's athletic and recreation facilities and put members of the Penn Athletics staff through a workout.
Penn Medicine's Chevalier Jackson Award was presented by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology to "recognize his notable contributions in both developing and popularizing scientifically-based exercise regimes which have significantly impacted the obesity epidemic and overall public health and fitness."
Eric Laudano, Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Performance and Head Athletic Trainer at Penn, and Chris Bosch, Associate Director of Recreation for Campus Programs, attended a Q&A panel with Horton and Dr. Gregory Weinstein, Vice-Chair of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, and then took Tony and his assistant, Shawna, on a guided tour of Penn's recreation and athletic facilities, including Franklin Field, The Palestra, Penn Park, Tse Ping & Cheng Cheung Sports Center and the David Pottruck Health and Fitness Center.
On Friday morning, Horton led Laudano and Bosch in a 90-minute workout at Pottruck centered around Horton's "Boxes and Balls" workout which focuses on plyometric and instability training.
"This was a tremendous opportunity to lay the foundation of the future of holistic wellness for our students and student-athletes at Penn," Laudano said. "By involving both divisions of Recreation and Sports Performance, it allowed us to come together and learn from one of the greatest modern day leaders of health and wellness. We are grateful for the opportunity to spend two days with Tony Horton, and both Chris and myself are eager to increase our interaction as Division leaders to create a more innovative and interactive dynamic between Recreation and Sports Performance. This was an inspiring two days and will hopefully lead to exciting times ahead for health and wellness in DRIA."
Bosch concurred with Laudano's statements.
"Tony Horton came, saw and 'X'd' Penn Medicine, Recreation and Athletics like only the Fitness Guru knows how – by bringing it," Bosch said. "What an experience for Eric and myself! In the two days spent with Tony we were most impressed with his humble and genuine disposition. Tony has inspired millions of individuals worldwide to make positive changes with their health and well-being, and Eric and I were appreciative to share in this one of a kind experience to cultivate a new friendship between DRIA and one of the world's most motivational fitness leaders. We hope to grow the relationship and provide an engaging experience to the Penn Community with the exciting future ahead in Recreation and Athletics."

Target: United States House of Representatives
Goal: Hold farmers responsible for their impact on the environment
More than half of the "prairie pothole wetlands" in the Great Plains have been drained for the purpose of agricultural development, resulting in the destruction of the habitat of the Northern Pintail ducks. The prairie pothole wetlands are where the Northern Pintail ducks raise their young each year. It is too late to save the wetlands that have already been destroyed, but there is still hope for the Northern Pintails if farmers begin protecting the wetlands that remain on their lands.
Until now, the in-progress federal Farm Bill has included "conservation provisions" that would encourage farmers to protect wetlands on their land. Unfortunately, a recently-proposed version of the bill includes a damaging loophole that would essentially reward farmers for destroying wetland habitats at the expense of the Northern Pintail ducks and the various other wildlife that lives there.
It is essential that we help in protecting the Northern Pintail ducks. Send a message to your U.S. representatives indicating that you demand that protections for wetlands be included in the Farm Bill.
Dear United States House of Representatives,
As you work on finalizing the Farm Bill of 2013, I ask that you consider supporting the proposed provisions in the bill that promote the conservation of wetlands. All across the nation, environmentally-conscious farmers are protecting the valuable wetlands on their property by controlling soil erosion and reducing polluted runoff. Unfortunately, the Farm Bill may threaten the progress and gains that these farmers have made.
While I recognize that it is very important that the five-year farm bill passes before the year is up, it has come to my attention that the current House version is in need of several critical improvements, including the need for both requirements for farmers to abstain from draining wetlands and incentives for practicing conservation on the highly unstable land, such as "taxpayer-funded crop insurance subsidies."
Failure to make conservation compliance a prerequisite for receiving crop insurance subsidies would open a frightening loophole that could allow many farmers to receive generous federal subsidies without meeting even the most basic conservation requirements that have been in place since 1985. I implore you to support the Thompson-Fortenberry amendment on the Farm Bill to ensure that farmers cannot receive subsidies without complying with conservation standards.
