It's estimated that babies spend as much as eighteen hours a day in their crib during their first year, which means that you and the crib are pretty much going to be your baby's whole world. You'll want a bed that fits your style, but you'll also want something comfortable and safe.
Whether your baby goes straight to a crib or spends a few months in a bassinet, cradle, or co-sleeper is up to you. Most children end up in a crib eventually, though, so if you only want to buy one piece of furniture, that's the one. There are also great multistage options that take you from a bassinet to a crib to a toddler bed with just one purchase.
Cribs come in a lot of different styles, with all sorts of materials and finishes to choose from, so whatever look you're going for, it's easier than ever to find something you love.
Whatever style of bed you choose, avoid using hand-me-downs. Newer models are safer because safety standards have evolved, and older cribs might have rails that are farther apart than is considered safe.
your basic choices
Here are your choices for sleepy-time success.
The crib is the staple of the nursery, the one piece of furniture that everything else is designed around. Prices can range anywhere from $100 up to thousands for a custom crib. A crib that converts to a toddler bed can be well worth the investment because it adds another two to four years of use to your purchase.
bassinets and cradles
A smaller bed for your baby's first months—either a bassinet or a cradle that rocks—can add a nice, romantic touch to the nursery, though is not a necessity by any means. One big upside is that they're small enough to move around the house, which means your baby can nap in any room (including your bedroom, making nighttime feedings more convenient).
If you want to keep your child in the same bed as you, a co-sleeper is a small bed that either lies on top of your bed or attaches to the side of it, with sturdy sides to keep you from rolling over onto your infant while you sleep. The on-topof- the-bed style can also double as a portable crib for parents on the go.
portable cribs
Portable cribs can be a lifesaver for frequent travelers, and they're also a good option for the grandparents' houses. Some fold and unfold and can also be used as everyday playpens. Newer options work more like pop-up tents, and while they don't double as playpens, they're smaller and more portable and double as a UV-protected tent for outdoors.
general guidance
Cradles, bassinets and co-sleepers. The important thing to know about these three types of beds is that they're all entirely optional. They do have a certain romantic appeal and take up less space, but in just three to six months, your child will need something bigger. (As a particular note for cradles, make sure that the rocking motion is easy to trigger, and stays quiet!) None of these comes in a standard size, so if it doesn't include a mattress, make sure you can find one that fits.
Portable cribs. When shopping for a portable crib, make sure it's lightweight enough to suit your needs, easy to set up and take down, easy to clean and care for, and durable enough to stand up to use. An included travel case, bag, or at least a handle is a simple, must-have feature to ensure portability.
Mattresses. Just like with your own bed, you're going to want a good mattress to put in the crib. Almost all cribs use standard-sized U.S. crib mattresses, and the general rule is that firmer is better. In fact, some studies have linked softer mattresses to SIDS.
There are two basic types of mattress: foam and innerspring. A good foam mattress is heavier and, when pushed on, bounces back quickly. An innerspring mattress should have a coil count of at least 150 and should be firm in the center as well as the edges.
Crib mattresses are typically covered with a quilted or laminated vinyl to enhance durability and water resistance. The exceptions are organic mattresses, which include wool mattresses with an innerspring construction and latex mattresses that are more like foam. If you choose an organic mattress, keep in mind that they don't have the vinyl covering, so be sure to pick up a waterproof mattress pad to protect your investment.
features to look for
- Convertibility. Today, most cribs convert into at least a toddler bed, and some also cover the bassinet stage, as well.
- Adjustable mattress height. All cribs have three or four mattress-height settings. The idea is to keep the mattress higher at first so it's easier to reach into the crib, then lower the mattress as your baby becomes more mobile to keep him from jumping or climbing out. Make sure it doesn't require a degree in crib design to change the mattress settings—you'll do it up to three times for each child!
- Under-crib drawers. Some manufacturers offer these as an option, and they can be a great storage solution for a crowded nursery. If your crib doesn't come with built-in drawers, you can always buy storage boxes or baskets to put below.
- Breathability. Make sure your crib, bassinet, or co-sleeper has a breathable construction and enough room for your child. This not only minimizes sweaty heads and improves sleep but is also a SIDS consideration.
stage considerations
- Cradles, bassinets, and co-sleepers are really only options for newborns and infants. Depending on the size of both your baby and the bed, these options will only be useful for three to six months.
- Cribs can be used from day one, and most children stay in a crib until sometime after their second birthday. A telltale sign your baby is about to outgrow his crib is when he starts trying to climb out.
- Cribs that convert into toddler beds can be used for five years or more, depending on the size of the child. These beds use the same mattress as the crib and include a protective bar to keep the sleeping child from falling out of bed.
- Portable cribs may be used for sleeping on the road for as long as you keep your child in a crib. Once your child has outgrown her crib—and is still learning to sleep without falling out of bed—you'll have to find a new solution when traveling, like an attachable guardrail or the old pillows-on-the-floor trick.
lifestyle considerations
Portability. If you travel a lot, you'll want a portable crib; how often you travel will determine what kind. A portable that doubles as a playpen counts as another bag to check, while the pop-up-tent style is smaller and lighter and can be carried in your suitcase.
Multistage. Be sure to take your family plans into consideration when choosing a crib. If you only have one child, you might get the most value out of a crib that converts to a toddler bed. If you're planning for more kids, though, you'll get plenty of use out of your nonconvertible crib.
usage tips
- Remove all pillows, stuffed animals, duvets, quilts, big blankets, and even teethers when baby is asleep or unattended.
- If you have a drop-rail crib, always remember to keep the side pulled up and locked in place when your baby is in the crib.
- Crib mattresses should fit snugly. The rule of thumb is no more than two adult fingers should be able to fit between the crib and mattress.
- On a regular basis, check your crib for any loose screws, bolts, brackets, chipped or peeling paint, splinters, or broken edges.
- Keep your crib safely out of reach of dangling cords, lamp shades, heaters, and anything else that might pose a risk.
- Make sure there's enough breathing room in your cradle, bassinet, or co-sleeper that your baby won't get overheated.
- Portable cribs should not be used on a permanent basis; they don't have the durability for safe long-term use.
- Canopy or bonnet. Purely decorative, but these add a sweet touch to cradles and bassinets.
- Crib mobiles. Developmentally speaking, bold black-and-white graphics are a great choice for newborns. Just be sure the mobile is not hanging low enough for your child to grab once he starts standing.
- Sound machines. Some people opt for sound machines that attach to the outside of the crib and include soothing music or nature sounds.
additional information
The risks and rewards of co-sleeping
Sharing a bed with your infant—or co-sleeping—is controversial in the United States. Supporters believe that a parent's bed is just where an infant belongs; opponents believe it's unsafe.
The benefits of co-sleeping? It encourages breast-feeding, makes it easier to get the baby to sleep, provides better sleep for both mom and baby, and encourages bonding, especially for working parents who don't get to see their child during the day.
The arguments against co-sleeping are mostly safety related. The big one is the danger of suffocation if a parent inadvertently rolls over onto the baby. But there are also concerns about the baby falling asleep facedown on a softer bed or getting stuck between the mattress and the headboard, wall, or nightstand. Some of these concerns can be mitigated with the use of a co-sleeper, which goes on top of your bed and has rigid walls, creating a smaller space that's safer for your child.
Talk to your pediatrician if you want a professional opinion, but where your child sleeps—whether it's in your bed or a crib—is a personal decision.
Sleeping safety and SIDS
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the diagnosis given for the sudden and unexplained death of an infant under one year of age. SIDS is the leading cause of death in children under the age of one, and most cases occur between two and four months of age.
SIDS is sometimes called "crib death" because most cases of SIDS occur when a baby is in a crib, sleeping. Cribs don't cause SIDS, but other aspects of an infant's sleeping environment have been associated with an increased risk. For example, bedding that bunches up around a baby's nose or mouth can cause dangerous re-breathing of oxygen-depleted air.
It's important to make sure that your baby's crib is breathable and that you don't leave unnecessary items in the crib with your child. Other than a fitted sheet and properly installed bumper, the only thing that should be in the crib with your baby is a lightweight and breathable blanket.
In fact, many SIDS activists prefer a wearable blanket or sleep sack to keep a baby warm at night, replacing loose blankets in the crib and lessening the likelihood of bedding ending up over or around the baby's face.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says that the safest position for babies to sleep in, to reduce the likelihood of SIDS, is on their backs. If your child likes to roll over in her sleep, consider a sleep positioner that goes next to the hips to keep her properly in place. Some styles also include an inclined back support that keeps the baby's head slightly elevated and can help with digestion or breathing when a baby has a cold. Sleep positioners should not be used once your child can roll over independently.
There is mounting evidence that suggests some babies are more vulnerable to SIDS because of abnormalities found in the part of the brain that controls breathing and waking during sleep. So, while no one knows for sure whether the measures listed above can prevent SIDS, they definitely protect against suffocation and are important precautions to take.

Why We Love Jennifer Aniston
Five years after the Friends finale, we still want Jen to be our BFF.
-Julie Ryan Evans
There may be a few haters out there (aren't there always?) but for the most part, America adores Jennifer Aniston. We love her, heart her, want to be her best friend … or maybe even feel a little like we already are.
Since she first appeared on our television sets in that dripping wet, white gown after running out on her own wedding, women across the country fell in love with Rachel on Friends. We ran to our hairstylists gripping pictures of her layered locks begging them to give us the "The Rachel", and we were glued to our televisions each Thursday night.
For 10 years we empathized with her as she endured heartache and love and breakups and despair. We rooted for her to get the guy and mourned with her when lost him.
And now five years after the show's finale, we're still rooting for her to get the guy and mourning with her as we watch her romantic disasters play out in real life. We still love her and want her to be our friend more than ever.
But why? What is it about Jennifer Aniston that evokes this emotional outpouring from so many?

text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- With its overall financial results bogged down by an unprofitable joint venture, alternative fuel and renewable energy company Syntroleum Corp. ( SYNM) has enlisted Piper Jaffray & Co. ( PJC) to explore its options, including a sale. While both the company and its adviser at Piper Jaffray, J. Thomas Halverson Jr., declined comment, Tulsa, Okla.-based Syntroleum said in a statement Wednesday that the Minneapolis investment bank would assist in reviewing options for its assets related to renewable energy and its natural gas-to-liquid refining businesses. The review comes amid some troubling times for Syntroleum, which focuses on the production of synthetic fossil fuels as well as traditional crude oil refining. The company has posted a net loss in three of the last four years, including a $1.1 million loss in 2012. Syntroleum, which trades on the Nasdaq as SYNM, struggled last year to stay above the minimum bid requirement of $1 per share. After Nasdaq threatened to delist the company several times, Syntroleum in April enacted a 1-for-10 reverse stock split to raise the price above $1 and avoid that fate. Since the reverse stock split became effective on April 15, Syntroleum's share price has actually rebounded to more than $7 from $3.52 per share on April 15, the day the reverse stock split went into effect. Despite the uptick in stock price, Syntroleum's 50-50 joint venture with Tyson Foods Inc., called Dynamic Fuels LLC, has hurt the former's profits, or lack thereof. The joint venture, which runs a Geismar, La., biofuel plant, specializes in turning food and animal waste and other byproducts of the food production process into biodiesel fuel. The enterprise, however, hasn't turned a profit in more than a year. In fact, for the quarter ended March 31, the JV posted revenue of $6.7 million, or more than half of Syntroleum's $11.6 million in total revenue for the quarter. But the JV had a net loss of $830,000 for the period on top of the $11.8 million loss it sustained last year. Both Tyson and Syntroleum each invested $5.7 million in cash and working capital loans into Dynamic Fuels in the first three months of this year to fund operations at the Geismar plant.

The report, issued by IIDA, ASID, CIDA, IDEC, IDC and NCIDQ, highlights a growing body of evidence that supports the positive impact of interior design on public health, safety and welfare
CHICAGO—A seminal industry research report issued by IIDA and five leading interior design organizations, including ASID, CIDA, IDC, IDEC and NCIDQ, highlights a growing body of evidence that supports the positive impact of interior design on public health, safety and welfare.
"The Interior Design Profession's Body of Knowledge and Its Relationship to People's Health, Safety and Welfare" is based on research led by Denise A. Guerin, IIDA, PhD, and Caren S. Martin, PhD, professors at the University of Minnesota's College of Design. The report, which updates a 2005 study, represents the most current and comprehensive resource for helping design practitioners, educators, researchers, accreditors, students and the public understand the broad and diverse knowledge interior designers employ in their work.
The study asked a sample of 1,578 experienced interior designers to rate their potential contribution to health, safety and welfare across 65 knowledge areas, including daylighting, indoor air quality, ergonomics, and material, equipment and product specifying. Those knowledge areas were grouped, for purposes of comparison, into six categories: human environment needs; interior construction, codes and regulations; products and materials; design theory and process; communication; and professional practice.
Research highlights include:
"Continued research and applied knowledge and documentation are essential to advancing the profession, and increasing the health and safety of the built environment," says Jeffrey Beachum, executive director of the IDEC. "The unified body of knowledge outlined in this report is both a practical and encouraging step forward for the design industry and the public at large."
The report also includes a series of recommendations and a roadmap for advancing the interior design profession through the continued identification, documentation and measure of health, safety and welfare performance standards to provide meaningful benchmarks.
An executive summary of the report, along with a feedback survey and a full copy of the report are available online. For additional white papers, continuing education and research documents, connect to the IIDA Knowledge Center for complimentary content supporting interior design.

Indians Locke up eighth straight win
Pirates' No. 8 prospect allows one hit over seven innings
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | July 4, 2012 5:54 PM ET
The Pirates' No. 8 prospect allowed one run on one hit over seven innings Wednesday as the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians shut down the Louisville Bats, 6-1.
Locke (7-4) fanned six, walked three and threw 59 of 99 pitches for strikes. The only hit he allowed came in the sixth, when Kris Negron led off with a triple. Cody Puckett followed with a sacrifice fly, snapping Locke's string of 11 2/3 scoreless innings.
"I was working off my last start, where I was commanding my fastball more," he said. "I was working it to both sides of the plate. It's a lineup I've faced a bunch of times. With guys you've faced a lot, you have to stay sharp and make adjustments because they're doing the same. I had some great plays behind me and it was a great team effort."
Locke helped the Indians extend their winning streak to eight games. They have a 12-game lead over second-place Columbus in the International League's West Division.
"It's a lot of fun," Locke said. "Everyone's been on a team where things didn't click, and early in the year we had some struggles. Right now, we're hot, we're playing real well. It's more than a pleasure to come to the ballpark. It's not something we can take for granted; we know we have to play hard, and so far everyone has been tremendous about it."
Locke lowered his ERA to 2.92 ERA, which ranks seventh in the league. He's also sixth with 84 strikeouts and has been remarkably consistent, having not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since May 10.
"You see some of the guys on the pitching staff I'm around, Rudy Owens and Justin Wilson, they lead off the MiLB.com site every week," Locke said. "We work hard, we compete with each other, everyone wants to have a sharp outing and everyone wants to follow up each other. We have a lot of good guys on the staff and you feel good when you come to the park.
"I've had this fantastic defense behind me and fantastic catchers behind the plate. Personally, I just want to continue what I'm doing right now and stay consistent. You can't afford to have those days where nothing's there. You have to compete when you don't have your best stuff and get guys out when you don't have a good fastball and your changeup command isn't there. "
Bryan Morris allowed one hit and struck out two in the eighth and Evan Meek tossed a hitless ninth for the Indians.
Starling Marte, Pittsburgh's No. 3 prospect, tripled in the bottom of the first to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
"There is no one in the world that can run from the wall to second base and vice-versa better," Locke said, "He's a guy that puts forth good at-bats every time."
Jeff Clement homered twice and scored three runs, while Chase d'Arnaud slugged a two-run shot for Indianapolis.

B3an - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkNot really worthy of a "2" name. Disappointing it don't use PCIe Gen 3. So would it not be any more capable of driving external GPU's than current Thunderbolt? Reply
Alexvrb - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkPretty much, they should have called it Thunderbolt 1.1. It's just as proprietary and probably just as expensive, but not significantly better. I find myself hoping we just get an industry standard external PCIe connection rather than one controlled by Intel. Reply
MojaMonkey - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkI have a thunderbolt egpu using a magma box and gtx 680. Works like a charm. I would estimate that its about 20% down in fps when compared to a native desktop. Some of that is because laptop cpu and some because of thunderbolt. At the moment its not worth it because the external thunderbolt enclosures are expensive. From a performance and technical perspective this is a very feasible solition. A price drop on enclosures would make this attractive for those who need compact laptop portability with near gaming desktop performance. Reply
jcwc - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkquestion: how do you tell your laptop to use the egpu instead of the internal? i'm assuming it's not as simple as plug in, reboot, play Reply
MojaMonkey - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkThe limitation is that the egpu can only power an external display not the laptop monitor. But it is actually that simple. Plugin reboot play and the external monitor lights up powered by the GTX 680. There are no drivers the laptop and video card are connected via pcie it all works like a native card would. Reply
FalcomPSX - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkif they ever resolve the ability to output to the laptop display and have the graphics over thunderbolt... it could easily revolutionize "desktop replacment" laptops and blur the line between them and ultrabooks. Go on the road and leave your graphics card at home, or plug it in when you have external power. Unplug the thunderbolt graphics card and you have as much power savings, lower heat and longer battery life as any other ultrabook is capable of. Reply
krewn - Thursday, June 09, 2016 - linkIt would be cool to see an hdmi input on laptops. It would require a switch tho... Reply
kobusphoto - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkHi MojaMonkey,
I'm very interested in your egpu via magma box setup.... What machine are you using to do this? And the operating system?
I want to do this on my Macbook Pro 17" with thunderbolt 1. But as far as I understand Mac OSx will not see the eGPU. Unless there has been some advancements since I last did some reading up on the matter..... I eventually gave up hope of it happening in the near future. Reply
purerice - Thursday, October 03, 2013 - linkYou can find more details by searching for "thunderbolt egpu magma box". You will get a forum where probably the same MojaMonkey went into more detail. There some talked about another shady solution (search "TH05 thunderbolt") that I would not trust unless ready to throw away money and using a store-bought debit card.
When a legit product actually ships Anand will be all over it so I'm happy to wait here fwiw. Reply
BMNify - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkhttp://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=ext...
it just so happens its been around LONG before the came around, just go and ask your local shop to buy it for you and make it popular for home use to get the prices down.... Reply
BMNify - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkactually charlie gives a good outline here
http://semiaccurate.com/2012/08/02/ioi-technology-... Reply
Tesselator - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkHow do we know it's not PCIe v3 ??? He only says "it looks like...".
For TB2 to be able to saturate two 20Gb/s channels it needs to either be 8 lanes of PCIe v2 or 4 lanes of PCIe v3. The language used by both Apple and Intel and a few Intel bloggers as well, indeed implies that TB2 is capable of 20Gb/s per port, two ports per controller (dedicated I/O.).
Otherwise both Intel and Apple are lying! It would be like a single controller 4-port USB3 manufacturer saying their card supports four 500MB/s connections. If that's the game then someone will likely sue them (Apple or Intel) for false advertising.
I see no indication that Anand Lal Shimpi is doing anything more than guessing. Reply
emperius - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkThis is all awesome and cool. I am not of those "who need this much? or "just like firewire" people. But if this chipset will be held restrictively and more BS happens across Mobo manufactures on not implementing based on overpriced licenses or something, then it will never be taken seriously. At least Apple will be using it at it's full. And I'm no Apple fanboy. Reply
danjw - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkBut it is daisy chain, and cables $35 for an original thunderbolt cable, not sure if those cables will work with this new version. If a device wants to let you connect more other devices down stream, it needs 2 controllers. Also, it is Intel proprietary, so I doubt they will be licencing anyone else to make the controllers. Intel insists on high margins on their products so they won't be selling controllers cheap anytime soon. Reply
BrazenRain - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkThey should make the A-10 Warthog its mascot. Reply
danjw - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkNah, the A-10 is an awesome plane, why associate it with this joke of an interface. Reply
Zandros - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkThanks for the update on the mystery that is Thunderbolt, Anand.
Still, the question from the previous article remains: How does dual 2560x1440 24-bit 60 Hz displays work at the same time as other devices on Thunderbolt 1?
Also: MST hubs at the end on a Falcon Ridge chain, yes/no? Reply
repoman27 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkAs far as I can tell, the channels in the current versions of Thunderbolt can carry display and/or PCIe data, however this is achieved through switching between the various protocol adapters. It also seems that at any given moment, one channel per link is reserved for display, and total device bandwidth cannot exceed 10 Gbit/s.
Thunderbolt 2 would appear to have a unified connection between the protocol adapters and the Thunderbolt crossbar switch. Overall though, Thunderbolt 2 is just Thunderbolt with channel bonding and full DP 1.2 support. Intel's demo used Dell displays daisy chained via DisplayPort MST at the end, so yes to that one.
This Pipeline post continues the trend of confusing as much as enlightening when discussing Thunderbolt. I believe that in Intel parlance, a link (the maximum capacity of a port or cable) is comprised of 2 independent, full-duplex channels created from 4 simplex lanes. Intel tends to refer to their controllers by the number of channels they support, hence a 2-port controller is described as 4C. Thunderbolt 2 bonds the two 10 Gbit/s channels in a link to effectively create a single 20 Gbit/s channel per link. I'm not sure if this means that 2-port Falcon Ridge controllers will be referred to as 2C.
Intel's previous demo video from NAB showed a peak of 1259.87 MB/s reading from the SSDs while driving the two displays. Since this represents more than 10 Gbit/s of both PCIe and DisplayPort packets, we can infer that the new controllers are capable of duplexing the two types of traffic. We would expect write speeds to be a bit lower (around 860 MB/s), since there isn't more than 20 Gbit/s to play with. Which makes the statement, "Peak performance to the SSD array was just under 1100MB/s," a bit suspect. Peak performance FROM the array can get that high, but not TO the array.
And I calculate the theoretical max payload throughput for PCIe 2.0 x4 with a bare minimum of protocol overhead to be 1645 MB/s... Come on, Anand. Let's see it! Reply
wiz329 - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - linkCan the two bi-directional 20 Gb/s channels be multiplexed so that total bandwidth is 40 Gb/s for a single device? Reply
iwod - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkBasically there isn't any speed upgrade, total data / signal rate transfer over the cable are the same with less overhead or higher efficiency. I wonder if the 4K problem could be solved using a little bit more innovative solution instead of calling what essentially is the same thing as Thunderbolt 2.
I am still waiting for the promised 50Gbps from Intel. Even though the maths doesn't add up moving from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3. Thunderbolt Port, Cable, Hubs, Chipset needs to be both a lot cheaper and slightly faster. I am not expecting it to compete with USB3.0 or 3.5 since they really arent the same thing. Reply
tipoo - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkI wonder, did current external GPUs utilise the two up and two down channels well? Which is to ask, could there still be a benefit to them even though the aggregate bandwidth is entirely unchanged? Reply
Khenglish - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkNo, current eGPU products cannot use more than 1 channel. The bplus adapter that was commonly used until mysteriously recalled (it worked fine. most people refused to return it) only negotiated an x2 2.0 connection, although a TB channel had a little more room, which the sonnet adapter did actually use (at 5x the price) . TB 2 should allow double the bandwidth to a graphics card.
Hopefully someone will actually make a reasonably priced adapter. Reply
Kevin G - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkThis just seems like sidestep than a real upgrade. Overall bandwidth doesn't change: four 10 Gbit/s channel to two 20 Gbit/s channels. I was under the impression that Thunderbolt could multiplex two 10 Gbit/s, three 10 GBit/s or all four 10 Gbit/s channels dynamically based upon load. 4k display output should have been possible under current connectivity. In fact, with 40 Gbit/s of bandwidth, 8192 x 4320 at 24 bit color and 30 Hz refresh rate should be possible. So this only enables vanilla DP 1.2 pass through to non-Thunderbolt devices.
Ultimately Thunderbolt 2 should have doubled bandwidth per lane for 80 Gbit/s total bandwidth. Reply
repoman27 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkWell, the reality is that while Intel could currently bump the lane rate to 14 Gbit/s with existing technology, more than that would require some new magic. The first experimental chips that can support 20+ Gbit/s are just being taped out now.
Thunderbolt links only contain 4 simplex lanes, so the maximum achievable bandwidth at the 10 Gbit/s lane rate is 20 Gbit/s, full-duplex. When operating in DisplayPort signaling mode, the 4 lanes form a single simplex DisplayPort main link with a lane rate of 2.16 Gbit/s (after deducting 8b/10b encoding overhead), or, in the case of Redwood/Falcon Ridge, up to 4.32 Gbit/s. This works out to 8.64 or 17.28 Gbit/s per link. DP 1.2 at 17.28 Gbit/s is the highest bandwidth digital display source currently available, but it is still not enough for 8K over a single link.
4K output is possible with current generations of Thunderbolt, just not over a single cable. Since all but the newest 4K displays lack DP 1.2 support and instead rely on 2x DP 1.1a (or multiple DVI/HDMI) links, it's really not much of an issue. Reply
Jaybus - Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - linkIt isn't possible to just keep cranking up the lane rate over copper, certainly not without making the cables shorter. It will require an optical cable. The current optical cable has embedded converter and detector, but is expensive and still has to use a copper run from TB controller to the optical transmitter/receiver embedded in the cable.
The breakout in lane speed will not happen until the optical components are directly embedded so that the TB controller itself takes optical input/output, an idea they are calling "silicon photonics". Avalanche photodiode detectors as well as lenses, waveguides, and other optical components can already be made using CMOS. The missing component is the light source, or at least a cheap light source that can be implemented in CMOS. It requires an extra layer of a material with suitable optical properties be bonded or embedded to the wafer. A company called Skorpios Technologies has demonstrated a CMOS process for embedding the material. The tech is not there yet, but it is getting close.
Also, the ability to have embedded optical i/o is a significant paradigm shift. The optical signal is capable of higher bandwidth than the current on-chip buses. TB is just an extension of the PCIe bus. But in addition, it is also possible to replace the slow copper memory bus, or any other chip-to-chip i/o. For example, if a DRAM chips can be linked to the CPU/GPU optically, then there is no need for L3 cache and all of that die area used for cache can be re-tasked for more cores or removed to save power and allow smaller (and so higher yield) dies.

The Obama Administration recently Announced Financial Incentives as well as a Uniform Process for Short Sales. This is very good news for home owners across the country, and will help many home owners avoid home foreclosure across the country by working a short sale on their homes.
For borrowers who do not qualify to have their loans modified on a permanent basis under the Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program, the servicer may consider a short sale on the propertyor, if that is not successful, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
A deed in lieu of foreclosure however has a longer impact on the credit (similar to a foreclosure when compared to a short sale. When a home owner does a deed in lieu, it does NOT release them from being liable to their lender for any deficiency once the home is sold. This means that their lender could persue a judgement against the homeowner after a deed in lieu for any money owed. In a short sale, our agents try to work to get you fully forgiven 100%.
Incentives include: (1) $1,000 for servicers for successful completion of a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (2) $1,500 for borrowers/homeowners to help with relocation expenses if needed to find a new property; and (3) up to $1,000 toward the cost of paying junior lien holders to release their liens.
Homeowners qualify under the FAP if they meet minimum eligibility requirements for the Home Affordable Modification program but don't qualify for a modification or do not successfully make payments during the three month period. Before proceeding with a foreclosure, lenders must determine if a short sale is a good idea.

The program will also include standardized documents to use, including a Short Sale Agreement and an Offer Acceptance Letter. The goal of this is to minimize the complexity of short sales and help make the short sale a more attractive option. These forms are available on our website by going to http://www.short-sale-specialists.com/client_services.shtml
In the Short Sale Agreement, servicers must give borrowers/homeowners at least 90 days to market and sell the property, or up to one year, depending on market conditions at their choice. Property must be listed with a licensed real estate professional (Realtor) with experience in the neighborhood, or short sale specialist. No foreclosure will take place during the marketing period specified in the Short Sale Agreement.
Property Valued by Appraisal or Broker Price Opinion (BPO).
Servicers will establish both property value and minimum acceptable net return, in accordance with the investor requirements. The price of the property is based on either an appraisal or one or more broker price opinions, issued no more than 120 days before the date of the short sale agreement.
The Short Sale Agreement will specify the reasonable and customary real estate commissions and costs that may be deducted from the sales price. The servicer must agree not to negotiate a lower commission after an offer has been received.
Fees and costs to home owner
Servicers may not charge fees to borrowers/homeowners for participating in the program. All other traditional sellers closing costs are also paid for by their lender. The short sale process has no out of pocket expence for home owners.

A year ago, Tre'Lun Banks was considered to be the final piece to a puzzle that helped Scotlandville High claim its first Class 5A boys basketball title.
As the 2012-13 season continues, the Hornets are again one of the top 5A teams. But there's still a puzzle to consider.
Only this time, putting the puzzle together and keeping it together is the major role for the 6-foot-1 senior guard.
"We lost four starters, so this is basically a different team," Banks said. "There's a lot of different roles, even for the guys who played last year. My role has gotten bigger.
"I have more of a leadership role. Besides knowing what I'm supposed to, I have to know what everybody else's roles are and to make sure we're all in the right place."
Banks' role will continue to evolve this week as the Hornets (13-2) host the Coca-Cola/Bob Petit/East Baton Rouge Parish Tournament that begins Wednesday at Southern University's F.G. Clark Activity Center.
Scotlandville is the No. 1 seed and won't play until 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
The Hornets will face the Northeast-McKinley winner.
Banks insists there is no added pressure. But there is certainly plenty of scrutiny.
Banks is the son of Southern coach Roman Banks and the nephew of Scotlandville coach Carlos Sample.
"He (Tre'Lun) goes from coach uncle to coach dad," Sample said. "Obviously, we're going to be more critical of what he does than other people.
"Tre'Lun's role is a lot different. Last year, he fit in with the other players. He understands that now it's his job to make sure everyone gets involved."
Getting all the other key players involved is a unique task for a Scotlandville team that has 6-8 Vanderbilt signee Damien Jones, 6-8 Jared Sam and 6-5 Brian Bridgewater.
In Friday's win over McKinley, Bridgewater, considered a top football and basketball prospect, led the way with 16 points. But Vincent Sanders hit three key 3-pointers and was involved, along with Jones and Sam.
"The close games we've had have helped bring us together," Banks said. "And I think the main thing we've learned is we have to play as a team.
"We have to just play and make plays. We can't be afraid to mess up or make mistakes. When you're afraid to mess up, you're going to make mistakes. We just have to play hard."
Banks spent his first two high school seasons at Hammond's St. Thomas Aquinas while his father was an assistant at Southeastern Louisiana University.
To prepare for his senior season, Banks spent as much as eight hours a day in the gym.
He broke down his game and worked to improve all facets of his game, including his ball-handling, defensive skills and foot speed. Banks also played more than 100 summer games on the AAU and summer league circuits.
It should come as no surprise that Banks critiqued his own game much like a coach would. While some players consider being the son of a coach to be a negative factor, Banks believes it is a huge plus.
"I think having a dad who is a coach has made me a better player," Banks said. "Around our house, I'd say we talk basketball 70 percent of the time. I think that has given me an advantage other guys don't have. I do see the game like they (father and uncle) do."
Don't expect Banks to go into the family business. He has a grade point average of just under 3.0 and wants to major in biology/science in order to work in veterinary medicine.
South Alabama and most of Louisiana's state schools are recruiting Banks, who said he won't make any recruiting decisions until the season is over.
For now, Banks is content to take it one game and one tournament at a time.
That makes the EBR tourney a top priority.
"It (tournament) can be an important statement for us," Banks said.

SHRIMPTON: Slim Fit Womens' Jeans - Ben Sherman
* Colour: AR Selvage * Composition: 11.7oz Orange Selvedge * Fit: Skinny (Though I would say slightly more straight leg) * Washcare: Machine Washable wash inside out Fantastic jeans. If you're short like me you can just turn up the ends a little more rather than having to take them up. They also have a small stripe design over the seams on the foldups at the bottom so they don't look scruffy. Regarding the fit, if you're UK size 6 (I think that's US 2) you might have to put them on a hot wash (about 40oC) then in the dryer to shrink them a little. I did and now they fit perfectly.

Pension saving is too expensive. According to a report from the Royal Society of Arts, up to 40 per cent of pension savings disappear in fees and costs under the UK's current system of private pension provision.
Personal accounts, the national scheme to be rolled out in the UK from 2012, are designed to tackle this problem. People will be automatically enrolled into the scheme, removing the marketing and selling costs that have helped make personal pensions so expensive.
But the £3,600 annual limit on contributions to personal accounts is too low, says the RSA report.

Apple Hires Veteran Hacker Who "Delayed Windows Vista"

Pickup should boost Apple's recently struggling security efforts
Malware authors, who are finally taking note of the company's operating system amid rising market share,
have of late victimized
Apple, Inc. (
). Amid struggles with malware -- mostly Trojans (programs that imitate real software or are carried by seemingly innocent webpages and trick users into installation) like
-- the company has been
scrutinized by security firms
who suggest it needs help, and a more proactive stance on plug-in patching.
highly profitable
computer and digital device maker made a key step in the right direction this week, though, hiring Kristin Paget (
formerly Chris Paget
), according to
a report
Ms. Paget seems a natural fit for Apple.
She has said in past interviews that she is a "total Unix head" (OS X is Unix-like) and dislikes Windows. And she's expressed an interest in hardware security. When she left Recursion Ventures, her security firm, in July she expressed a desire to move away from bug-finding.
Thus she may see her talents first applied to Apple's efforts to lock firmware hackers
like George "GeoHot" Hotz
out of Apple's iOS firmware. Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has been largely
unable to stop such hackers
from defeating its digital rights management scheme (via jailbreaking) and its network locking (via unlocking). Apple has hired hackers in the past (
most notably "Comex"
) to try to shore up its firmware, but the efforts
have oft fizzled
The new recruit, though, could fare better as she brings a long history of eye-opening security exploits. In 2010 at DefCon hacker conference she set up a cell-phone intercepting station, a low-cost homebrew hardware setup that tricked towers into routing calls -- even encrypted ones -- through it, allowing conversations to be snooped on.

But Ms. Paget's most prestigious honor was delaying Windows Vista and in the process greatly improving its security. In 2006 she was hired by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to assist with the final development of Vista. According to recent speeches, which she gave after her five-year non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft expired in 2011; Microsoft had expected a clean bill of health when they brought her onboard.
Instead, she and her team found a wealth of bugs. She recalls, "We prevented a lot of bugs from shipping on Vista. I'm proud of the number of bugs we found and helped get fixed."
The bug hunt was so successful that it forced Microsoft to delay Windows Vista. Ms. Paget and her team received honorary shirts from Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine that read: "I delayed Windows Vista."
Windows Vista is widely viewed as a turning point in Microsoft's security history, paving ground for later
"So, I think the same thing of the music industry. They can't say that they're losing money, you know what I'm saying. They just probably don't have the same surplus that they had." -- Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA

Shouldn't this stuff have been in Winnipeg last week?
Game 9. Second of a six-game homestand. Sixth straight against Canada.
Mike Rupp (knee) and of course Marc Staal (concussion symptoms) remain out. Probably the same lineup tonight, but with new lines. Yesterday, Erik Christensen and Wojtek Wolski went from doghouse to penthouse on a line with Marian Gaborik, while Brad Richards slipped down the the middle of Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan.
We'll see how long that lasts.

The program includes:
Nursery Rhymes & Songs
Infants in the womb are soothed by the ever-present beat of a mother's heart. Babies of all ages still respond to a steady beat no matter what form it takes - rhymes, music, windshield wipers, dishwashers, etc. Rhymes also provide interesting repetition of the sounds we use in everyday language. Using familiar rhymes on a regular basis encourages your child to make sounds and eventually form first words.
You will learn how to effectively share books with babies. We will also provide books for independent sharing, and the instructor may recommend books that are most popular with babies. For infants, a book represents the closeness of being held and the soft sounds that come from a familiar person. Eventually, they will understand how a book "works" and that the black squiggles somehow correspond to the sounds the reader makes. These are all pre-literacy skills that better prepare your child for a lifetime of learning.
Free Play
At the end of the session, we'll do what we think comes naturally to all caregivers. Playing is how babies learn, and your involvement can enhance their enjoyment and enlightenment. It's fun to see how other people play and how babies respond to each other. This is where some of your best discoveries will originate - either through observation or conversation (with babies and adults!)
For more information about the Babygarten program, please visit their website.
Please watch for announcements of scheduled sessions.

9 Sundresses We Can't Wait to Wear
Before Cindy Crawford became a supermodel, she was on a scholarly track. She was her high school's Valedictorian and studying chemical engineering at Northwestern University before she dropped out to pursue modeling. In 1982, she won Elite Model Management's "Look of the Year" contest and within months the U.S. had fallen in love with her all-American look. She become one of the original Big Six supermodels, and had the most commercial success of all the girls.
After spending her pre-teen years starring in films such as Pretty Baby (1978) and Blue Lagoon (1980), Brooke Shields made waves in the fashion industry covering the most popular fashion magazines and appearing in Calvin Klein's controversial jean ads. Her bold brows, impeccable bone structure, and long hair were iconic.

A CHURCH is appealing for help in their search for a new home.
Hope Church, which currently meets in Nunnery Wood High School, Worcester, have made a number of failed attempts to purchase a new centre for their church community.
The church's team believes the latest setback has come in their cash bid to buy the former Royal Mail delivery office in Westbury Street, Lowesmoor, Worcester, and are calling for help to find other suitable venues.
Church leader Richard Thomas said: "In these times of cut backs to city and county council budgets, churches in Worcester are full of members eager to serve their communities.
"From toddler groups, to parenting courses, money advice, emergency food, marriage courses and community events, there is a huge range of community activities. Together we are making a vital contribution towards making Worcester a better place to live."
Mr Thomas feels the church has become known over the last few years for being very involved serving those with needs in the city.
Pastor Jim Harper added a new building would make all the difference to their work.
Mr Harper said: "We have enquired about quite a number of properties and the search still continues. We are raring to go, but, to be more effective in serving the city, the right property would make a huge difference.
"For us church is seven days a week in the community not just an hour or so on a Sunday morning."
Hope Church works with a number of partner organisations helping those with mental health or addiction problems with skill training, confidence building and employment and housing issues.
The church meets on Sundays from 10.15am to 12.15pm and also caters for about 50 children as well as running midweek youth and community groups.
Anyone who may be able to help the church in their search for a suitable property can call their architect, Boughton and Butler of Sansome Street, Worcester, on 01905 723544.
For more information, go to hope-church.org.uk or call the church office on 01905 821877.

EXTRADITION proceedings have been launched in Australia against a former East Lancashire police sergeant accused of more than 20 allegations of sexual assault against children.
It is understood the 76-year-old, who has not been named, was arrested at his home in Peregian Springs, Queensland.
Peregian Springs is a purpose-built resort community on the state's Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane.
He is now being held by Australian officers on behalf of Blackburn police.
Detectives in the public protection unit are running the investigation and requested the pensioner's arrest.
They are now seeking his extradition to the UK where he will be questioned about the allegations, which date back five decades.
His alleged victims were abused over several years and they have been made aware he has been arrested, police said.
The allegations date from between 1960 and 1974 and relate primarily to when he lived in the Accrington area, although he also spent time in Oldham and Maghull near Liverpool.
Police said he moved to Australia in 2002 after being made aware allegations had been made against him.
Lancashire Constabulary has its own specialised extradition unit based at its headquarters in Hutton, but this will be the first extradition Eastern division's public protection unit has sanctioned in several years.
DI Claire Holbrook, head of the public protection unit, said: "Despite the distance the public protection unit is determined to investigate all offences of abuse against children.
"Once this man is back, highly trained officers will interview him about this large number of historic allegations.
"Distance should never be a block to justice.
"n the two years I have been in charge of this unit this is the first man to have extradition proceedings launched against him.
"He emigrated to Australia in 2002 after being made aware of the allegations.
"The allegations span a long period of his history and I can confirm that he held a position of authority and responsibility in East Lancashire prior to his retirement."
As part of the extradition proceedings the suspect will appear before a judge in Australia.
At that hearing he can either agree to be returned to the UK, or contest the extradition and wait for a further hearing before the judge.
If he agrees to the extradition he could be returned within two months.

Technical Abstract: To date, more than 55,000 mite species have been described and only a few of them have been studied. Some mites are adapted to live deep in soil, others in fresh or sea water, some are on plants, algae, fungi or animals, and others are able to survive in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Their feeding habits are also very diverse, including species which are parasitic, predatory, mycophagous, saprofagous, and phtytophagous. Many of them have very hard bodies, some have plates, and some have soft bodies. Many mites are associated with viruses and diseases of animals and plants. Plant-feeding mites are known to infest nearly all species of plants of economic importance, including food crops, timber, and ornamental plants, causing economic losses to national and/or international food and fiber markets. Many animals (including insects) have mites that are phoretic, parasitic or associated with their nesting. All species of domesticated animals that are associated with humans are hosts of parasitic mites.

Defense of Thesis Proposal: Bradley Ficko

Jackson Conference Room
"AC Susceptibility Imaging of Magnetic Nanoparticles for Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy"
Thesis Committee:
Solomon Diamond, Ph.D. (Chair)
Richard Greenwald, Ph.D.
Alexander Hartov, Ph.D.
P. Jack Hoopes, D.V.M., Ph.D.
Donglu Shi, Ph.D
Abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) have an increasing number of applications in cancer therapy. Hyperthermia is one such application where the mNPs are used to help treat cancer through targeted heating of tumors. In this therapy, mNPs are exposed to a high frequency alternating magnetic field that heats the mNPs depending on their type and in proportion to their concentration. Hyperthermia has shown efficacy as a stand-alone or adjuvant therapy in animal studies. To achieve heating, mNPs must be delivered to and retained inside tumors. However, due to the potential for mNP dispersion outside of the targeted tumor and risk of damage to healthy tissues, clinical trials need to be conducted with real time image guidance. The focus of this proposed doctoral thesis is to develop an imaging system for mNP hyperthermia therapy that can provide clinically useful real-time imaging of mNPs.
A bench top proof-of-concept prototype has been successfully built and tested to demonstrate the functionality of the proposed mNP imaging approach. The performance of the prototype was measured through a series of experiments designed to evaluate its performance characteristics and to identify the challenges that are likely to arise when increasing the density of the imaging array. Magnetic susceptibility magnitude images showed a contrast-to-noise ratio of 23 for 0.5 ml of 12.5 mg Fe/ml mNPs at 1 cm depth. AC susceptibility images showed the in-phase and out-of-phase susceptibility of three mNP samples of 10, 40 and 100 nm and using spectroscopic imaging it was possible to determine the concentration of each mNP sample in each imaging voxel (R2= 0.97). These results indicate that the proposed mNP imaging approach can potentially be extended to a larger, higher-resolution clinical imaging system.

Things just got very interesting for the Timberwolves only a few days into free agency. On Tuesday, Minnesota got things started by coming to terms with RFA SG/SF Chase Budinger on a three year, $16 million pact and made some noise later that day by agreeing to a four year, $28 million agreement with UFA SG Kevin Martin.
Budinger, 25, was originally acquired by the Timberwolves in a draft day trade last summer that sent Minnesota's 18th overall pick to the Houston Rockets. The Arizona product had trouble staying on the court during his first season for the Pups, as he missed all but 23 games after tearing his meniscus just 6 games into the 2012-13 season. When healthy, he brings strong perimeter shooting and a very high competence of Rick Adelman's corner offense, of whom he played for in Houston for two seasons before ultimately landing in the land of 10,000 lakes.
