By Judith Le Blanc – Field Director, Peace Action – A sermon delivered on January 13, 2013 to the Transcontinental Baptist Church and Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale.
I greatly appreciate the opportunity to share some thoughts on the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King. Every year, I enjoy the celebration of Dr King's birthday because it reminds me of being young and militant and inspired.
Back in the day, we were mindful of having been too young to be involved in the Civil Rights movement. We were anxious for a way to continue the struggle. So we joined the struggle to make his birthday a national holiday: marching, petitioning, and pressing Congress and the Reagan administration.
The rhythm and blues artist, Stevie Wonder led the charge along with civil rights leaders He wrote a song about the struggle for a national holiday to honor Dr King.
We knew when we danced to Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday song in the clubs that we were dancing for justice and honoring the legacy of a movement that fundamentally changed the course of US history.
Nothing like it, to be out dancing in a club and reminded of what Dr King called the "beautiful struggle!" For me and many other young people of color, the fight for his birthday national holiday was really a search for way to carry on the struggle for racial justice. Then as now, we are so painfully aware of how far we must go to realize the dream of racial equity, economic justice and a world without wars.
In 1966, Dr King delivered the Ware Lecture at the Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly, not too far from here, in Hollywood, FL.
Every year someone is chosen to deliver this address at the general assembly as a call to witness, a signaling of the most pressing issues of the day.
In Dr King's Ware lecture, he said, "One of the great misfortunes of history is that all too many individuals and institutions find themselves in a great period of change and yet fail to achieve the new attitudes and outlooks that the new situation demands. There is nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution. "
There is nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution!
And today we are in such a moment when the militarization of the federal budget is the greatest obstacle to justice at home and global peace. Fifty eight percent of yearly discretionary spending goes to the Pentagon.
We are in a moment when Dr King's prophetic voice can fortify our resolve to break the cycle of weapons and wars being prioritized over jobs, education and diplomacy.
We, in the peace and justice movement, have come to a moment as Dr King and the Civil Rights movement did. We must break the silence on the impact of US militarism and how it holds back a more just and peaceful world.
In his Beyond Vietnam speech delivered at Riverside Church in 1967, Dr King outlined a rationale for why our country must end the war in Vietnam in order to change the US relationship to the rest of the world and address the urgent needs of our communities.
He spoke about those who had asked, "Why are you speaking about the war, Dr. King? Why are you joining the voices of dissent? Peace and civil rights don't mix, aren't you hurting the cause of your people?"
He believed those questions revealed a "tragic misunderstanding". He had led a movement dedicated to ending legalized segregation and won, yet he and the movement were confronted with continuing obstacles to realizing "The Dream".
He began to confront the main obstacle to true equality: the economic system. President Johnson began to turn back the war on poverty and build up of the war in Vietnam.
Dr King knew that as long as resources were being sucked into the conflict in Vietnam that there would be no investment in our communities. He said, "I am compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such."
He began to speak out in the face of, what he called "such cruel manipulation of the poor, the cruel irony of watching Black and white young people on TV as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools."
He said, " I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government."
In his Beyond Vietnam speech, he spoke at length about the need to see human kind, other countries, not as enemies but as people with needs that mirror our own. He argued that demonizing the Communists could not rationalize our country's war and occupation of Vietnam.
He began to develop a deeper analysis of the role of militarism in shaping US foreign policy. He called upon all those who believed in justice to question the fairness of our past and present foreign policies.
He said, " Vietnam is but a symptom of a far deeper malady. If we don't understand that reality, we will be attending rallies and marching without end."
Why did his organizing and speaking out against the connection between poverty and war stir such controversy? Because he was pinpointing the root causes of injustice at home and abroad, he connected foreign policy and its impact at home.
He said," When the bombs are dropped in Vietnam, they explode in our communities." Dr King said the triple evils of militarism, poverty and inequality; cause our people and the peoples around the world to suffer needlessly. His prophetic teachings resonate today because it continues to be even truer now, than ever.
The bombs dropped in Afghanistan and Pakistan do explode in our communities.
US history has been consistently marked by wars and occupations. Constant wars or threats of wars.
Across the political spectrum a new awareness is growing that wars cannot solve the world's most complicated problems. In fact wars and occupations worsen the crisis problems: climate change, hunger or democracy as examples.
Our country spends more on the military than any other country on the world, yet honestly and objectively: the US can no longer control the global economy nor politics with war. And can no longer afford to do so. It is the beginning of the end of US world domination.
Many of the realists on the Right are beginning to take note and are searching for ways to promote US interests through other means.
Realists among former generals and even neoconservatives and libertarians are calling for closing US bases, negotiating reductions in nuclear arsenals and ending the war in Afghanistan sooner than 2014. They are realists, not believers in Dr King's vision, realists.
The Rand Corporation released a report in 2006 on the study of 648 terrorist groups and armed conflicts between the years 1968-2006. They found a majority ended the armed struggles by entering into the political process, and only 7% of those conflicts ended through military action. A majority of armed conflicts were ended through negotiations and a political process not military action.
Military action, as the leading edge of US foreign must, should and could come to an end. Democracy, economic development and protection of civilians cannot be achieved at the end of the barrel of a gun or with drones.
2013 is the moment for a national debate that starts club by club, church, synagogue and mosque, classroom by classroom, editorial page by editorial pages and talk radio shows. A national debate on the need for a fundamental change in US foreign policy.
The bombs are exploding in our neighborhoods, because the crisis problems faced globally cannot be solved through militarism, only worsened. War as Dr King said is the enemy of the poor of all countries.
In the next 2 months we have a call to action to carry forward the legacy of Dr King. We cannot afford to sleep through a moment where great changes, revolutionary changes are necessary and possible.
The stage has been set in Washington for a tough battle over the federal budget. Every dollar given to the Pentagon will be taken from food stamps, student loans and healthcare.
Some say that we should make the cuts 50% from domestic spending and 50% from the Pentagon. But what they do not say is that over 1 trillion has been cut in the last 4 years from domestic programs while the Pentagon has grown.
The truth is that military corporations are making mega profits. They are in the mass media and on Capitol Hill driving the budget debate with fear mongering.
While they push for weapons systems such as the F35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, which even the Pentagon, doesn't want. There is waste, fraud, and abuse, which is where the cutting can and should start.
A consensus is building on sensible cuts to the waste in the Pentagon budget. It is a start. We must move the money from wars and weapons to fund jobs, human services and diplomacy.
When economic and racial inequality is growing dramatically isn't that a very serious national security problem? When we hear from some the call for militarizing our communities, our public schools. Armed guards in our public schools?
More guns will not address the crisis needs of the poor, communities of color, immigrants and the middle class or the despair and mental illness that grows when opportunities or public services are denied.
Just as war will not solve the world's most pressing problems neither will more guns in our communities.
The 21st century struggle for racial justice is for more equity, inclusion and dignity, a more loving society and world. Don't we all need a little more love?
It is time to change national spending priorities and move the money from wars and weapons to fund jobs, education and diplomacy.
We can deal with the debt by expanding the economy, helping the people in our communities to get on their feet and fund the diplomacy that can change the US relationship with countries around the world.
It will be no easy path in the next two months. Military corporations have nearly two lobbyists for every Congressional representative.
Some in Congress have pledged to cut essential human needs programs, put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block and protect the Pentagon from cuts.
We should do now as Dr King did and raise up the necessity that our government must, "Go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism as the path to a better world."
Given the situation in our world: real danger of acts of terror or nuclear war, climate crisis, scarce resources. The truth is national security is no longer possible. Only collective global security is. Collective global security is achievable through international cooperation, respect for international laws and national sovereignty.
Our world needs more diplomacy, negotiations, and engagement, not threats of war.
As Dr. King said "Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to humankind as a whole, in order to preserve the best in their individual societies."
Let's mark Dr King's birthday this year with some promises.
First, I hope you will do as I do. And every time you hear Stevie Wonder's Birthday Song on the radio, you will get up and shake your tail feathers. And celebrate what Dr King called the long and beautiful struggle.
And I hope you will remember Dr King's keen insight into social change when he said: "Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change. There is nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution."
In the next two months, we must meet the challenge of engaging in the fierce struggle to change national spending priorities and move the money from wars and weapons to fund jobs, education and diplomacy.
Because there is nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution!

Workflow Engine
Workflow engine is a software application meant to allocate tasks to participants according to the defined business process. Completing each task, Workflow engine will allocate the next task to another participant with passing the information as output from upstream tasks.
Outline of workflow engine
A workflow engine will interpret events such as definitions described using XPDL, BPEL or BPMN: set of procedural rules. According to a 'Process Definition', it will allocate the tasks to a person, a group of persons, an organization of staff or machines. At that time, the workflow engine will communicate the processing data to them.
Typically, it will also grasp all situations of the process instances. So when a particular task is completed another task will be immediately allocated. In other words, Workflow Engine facilitates the flow of information, tasks and events. But it depends on products what kind of Workflow Pattern (complex routing, splitting or joining) can be interpreted.
You can say that workflow engine is a heart component of a workflow application or a BPM suit. Sometimes, it is called 'BPM Engine'.
The allocated persons or machines are called 'Participant'. One may say that a workflow engine drives steps with communicating with participants. Each participant will require the information to complete the task, add or transform the information and provide the information as input to downstream steps.
The whole of the information handled by each participant is defined as 'Process Data'. And a allocated task to human is sometimes called 'Work Item'.
Competition of functions
- Ability to control Concealment of Process Data
- Ability to monitor load of each participant
- Ability to memorize history of each participant
- Ability to offer to organization of staff and allocate to appropriate participant
- Ability to interpret unstructured flow models
Role of workflow engine in BPM
The workflow engine will ensure the task log of operations: the time to start or complete. The log is not only detecting the operations but also improving the process models though the analysis.

Why would it be ununsual that I contact you?
I'm not talking about the start/stop times in the read tests. I'm talking about the writing tests.
Nevermind.. I see you have a few Nero screenshots showing the writing times. I didn't see those before.

Anonymous User - Saturday, September 13, 2003 - linkI think that a test should be done using Nero Infotool's test disc so that people can compare results with their own drives. Or is the "dummy file" test made with it?
Just a comment: These drives are slightly underrated. I have a Lite-On 52327S and it reads and writes at 53.55x at 82min. I'm sure this would rise slightly with a 99min CDR. Reply
Anonymous User - Saturday, September 13, 2003 - linkthe shorter form factor is a good thing in my opinion, as i have had a couple cases that couldn't have standard length cd-rws mounted in the bottom 5.25" bay as the back of the drive would hit a capacitator on the mobo Reply
Jeff7181 - Friday, September 12, 2003 - linkTwo articles a day? Sounds GREAT to me =)
I've even had a hard time finding 24X CDRW media... I guess I'm looking in the wrong places because I'm not willing to pay oodles of money for CDRW's when I have a few spindles of CDR media, totaling about 175 CDR's that I didn't pay over $10 for.
With CDR media being SO cheap... is CDRW media really even necessary? Packet writing isn't that great cause you need the packet writing software to read and write to them... and why bother erasing an old scratched CDRW disk when you can pull out a brand new CDR disk that only costs you pennies? Reply
Zepper - Thursday, September 11, 2003 - linkIt seems like eveyone is selling Lite Ons these days. And since when is MSI a big wheel in optical? As far as I can tell they have done nothing but sell rebadged LiteOns with slight apperance mods - just like Sony, TDK etc.etc. Does anybody else besides LiteOn and Sanyo/Plextor actually manufacture their own designs any more?
KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - linkOur good friends Mitsubishi Chemical make 32X. Pretty much the best you can buy but in all honesty, not worth an upgrade from an existing drive. If you were looking into buying a new system, then I would consider the CD52-M.
Aga I have a neat optical drive I will post in the next day or two. Our schedule for the next 3 weeks is full =) We might have to start posting 2 articles a day.

One question though, is there 32X CDRW media available readily? Last I checked, 12x and 16x is used most widely for CDRW use because the 24x and higher cost more to the end consumer. Reply

Channaku is from Ethiopia. He has 7 children. He needs a loan of $150 to buy food and medicine for cattle.
Channaku is from Ethiopia. He has 7 children. He needs a loan of $150 to buy food and medicine for cattle.
Channaku is a farmer who is also entering the cattle fattening industry, since he cannot earn enough from his crops to provide for his large family. A loan from World Vision will help Channaku start his cattle raising business by allowing him to purchase food and medicine for the cattle.
Channaku's cattle raising business will be a dependable source of income that will help him provide for his seven children. He plans to sell his cattle as meat at the local market, especially during the busy seasons before holidays like Christmas and Easter.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Channaku Fayisa to expand his farming, food, and livestock business where he fattens cattle. After receiving the loan from World Vision, he invested the $150 to buy food and medicine for his cattle.
Channaku has been repaying his loan on time with his new profits. He makes weekly payments of $6. In addition to repaying his loan, Channaku is using additional income to purchase food for the animals, purchase food for the family, and provide healthcare. Channaku's 7 children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Channaku and World Vision Micro!

R0H1T - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkAgreed btw I'm willing to bet that even the most ardent of Intel fans would think thrice(if not more) to spend ~700$ on Iris Pro, even if it's unlocked, cause you're better off spending a grand on an 8 core monstrosity (-: Reply

ryrynz - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkI remember reading there will be more execution units and no doubt there will be a frequency increase as well. I expect a good 20% improvement, possibly more. Reply
Kevin G - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkDepends on your workloads. The L4 cache would boost IPC and typically you can get the quad core chips to clock higher than the >6 chips. So for a less parallel task (gaming etc.), a Haswell with Iris Pro would make more sense than the 8 core Haswell-e.
Of course I wouldn't object to Intel releasing Haswell-e with some L4 cache which would make my above point moot. :) Reply
willis936 - Friday, March 21, 2014 - linkThose chips usually have significantly more L3, which has a much higher bandwidth than L4. If I had to pick between more L3 and a large L4 I'd probably pick the larger L3. As for games: I doubt they'll need that much performance even five years down the line. Reply
jragonsoul - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkGood to know. Reply
Sirk77 - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkIDK. If memory serves, these Iris pros have a 128MB L4 cache. Further more, if you have a dedicated video card, that HUGE L4 cache is still available to the processor. I would rather have the large cache that extra procs that will more than likely go unused. Reply
purerice - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkSo by unlocked does this mean a non-"K" series? If they're just adding Iris Pro to the "K" series it would seem odd, as most "K" buyers probably have dedicated CPUs anyway. Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkIt'll still help even with a dedicated GPU: the eDRAM can still be used as a large L4 cache. That'll give a slight boost to IPC. Reply
Solandri - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkIf the gains from a large L4 cache were "worth it", Intel would be putting it on all their CPUs as a general way to improve performance. If you're going with a dedicated GPU, I can see this only being worthwhile if you've got some specialized task in mind which benefits disproportionately from using the eDRAM as a cache. Reply
qap - Saturday, March 22, 2014 - linkDecade ago you could've made the same argument about L3 cache (and years before that about L2$ and also about L1$). With 22nm process it doesn't make sense to add large L4 to all (highend) CPUs, but at 14nm I can easily imagine that it can make sense to reserve some 35mm2 to 128MB L4 on-die (or half of that for 64MB). Probably we won't see it in Broadwell, but in Skylake it is possible. Reply
willis936 - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkI don't think K is something to be desired since it means some fancy virtualization extensions are disabled. If it's unlocked, has those extensions, and L4 cache then it's a winner of a chip. Reply
ImSpartacus - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkIt might be nice for users that want a nice GPU, but might not be able to afford a GPU to match.
You could use the IGP for a few months and be moderately satisfied until you could afford a respectable GPU. Reply

tviceman - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkI still have absolutely no interest in iGPU graphics, especially when Nvidia is demonstrating better performance AND lower power consumption on 28nm with GM107 in mobile form. I'd personally just rather NOT pay the iGPU tax associated with buying a high end processor, and use that money towards any video card I want to get. Reply
8steve8 - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkit's a pretty safe bet that a broadwell with iris pro will have lower power consumption than a broadwell + any non integrated GPU... not to mention all the extra materials, resources, and physical space the non-integrated GPU takes. Reply
tviceman - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkIt's not a safe bet. 20nm GM107 Maxwell should be about 25-30% more efficient than it's current iteration, and the 840m + CPU is already way more efficient than when using a CPU with iris pro running full tilt.
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/7834/NVIDIA-GeFor... Reply
duriel - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkWhile the 840m is certainly more efficient, I wouldn't take those numbers at face value.
The 840m is paired with a 15w chip (i5-4200U, a dual core i5) while the Iris pro is running on a 47w chip (i7-4750HQ, a quad core i7). That does not explain the whole power gap, but I suspect the power draw of a theoretical Iris Pro + i54200 cpu would be sub-25w. Also, while Skyrim is a typically CPU intensive game, I suppose the low FPS numbers indicate Ultra settings, making it mostly GPU bottlenecked. Perhaps that is why Nvidia chose to pair the 840M with a low power cpu. Reply
rhx123 - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkThe 840m is not paired with a 4200u because the 4200u does not have 16x3.0 PCIE Lanes.
It has to be paired with a standard voltage CPU. Reply
duriel - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkI am just quoting from the fineprint on the Nvidia "unmatched efficiency" slide : http://images.anandtech.com/doci/7834/NVIDIA-GeFor...
Ok, it says i5 4210U, but I could not find that particular sku online. In any case it would be unrealistic to expect 17 W system power running Skyrim at max on a standard voltage cpu. Reply
8steve8 - Saturday, March 22, 2014 - linklook closely, that nvidia image you linked to is comparing a 47W CPU/iGPU w/iris pro to a 15W CPU/iGPU w/840M... which is irrelevant since of course a 47W cpu system will take more than a 15w ultrabook class CPU system... even when it has an non-integrated GPU.. the one that takes more power in that comparison will have an order of magnitude more CPU performance.
so let me revise my statement:
It's a pretty safe bet that a broadwell with iris pro will have lower power consumption than a broadwell with similar CPU performance with any non-integrated GPU. Reply
hrga - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkIt's nvidias slideware as usual. It actually doesnt measure nothing nor adequately compare. It just releases slides that will drool away users towards their camp. Once there they'll figure out for themselves they smoke something bad.
Only thing i would have dedicated gpu from preferably ATi, povervr, nvidia above anything intels are eye candy features that in past always overcome intels robus effective office gpu which lacks support for true graphics on any contemporary d3d/ogl applications. but always overpromising they'll improve that when it comes into fancy just around corner (since 2006) raytracing apps.

Kevin G - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkYes! Finally a desktop chip with the 128 MB of eDRAM L4 cache. Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkThat's what I was thinking too. the iGPU for high end... no thanks. But that extra cache, it could be interesting to see what you could do with that.
That iGPU would be good for media pcs too, but that's already possible with the BGA chips. Reply
nevertell - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkIt's the iGPU that ensures that AVX instructions actually bring a perfromance boost. The same goes for OpenCL applications, that, whilst are nonexistant at the moment, will work faster on a igpu that shares the same memory address space as the CPU than on a discrete GPU in most consumer/prosumer use cases. Reply
Flunk - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkIntel would need to bring some seriously big changes to their iGPUs to make that even remotely possible. AMD is a much better bet in that regard because of HUMA and their more compute-friendly GCN architecture.
I'm always open to be proven wrong, in fact I encourage it. Please prove me wrong Intel! Reply
Mondozai - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - link"the iGPU for high end... no thanks"
You're thinking of this from a desktop-centric perspective. The high-end iGPU is primarily for mobile. It would be weird to just cut it out of the processor for desktop. Also, you could stream 4K stuff easier with it than with weaker iGPUs. Most people are still on SB/IB. Reply
larkhon - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - link"You're thinking of this from a desktop-centric perspective."
maybe because in the slide above it's written Iris Pro coming for 5th gen Desktop CPUs? Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkAgreed - that's going to replace my 3770K! The eDRAM will keep the cores happy during heavy BOINC number crunching and will help significantly for iGPU number crunching (Einstein@Home) to supply that increased number of shaders. DDR3-2400 is barely enough for HD4000 with just 16 shaders! Reply
8steve8 - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkexcited about this, haswell was the only generation I skipped in years in the desktop space.... because I don't game much, but enough to want the iris pro. Reply
willis936 - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkThe real story is if they maintain socket compatibility. They're not really known for that but since none of these announcements seem to be consumer chipset feature centric there's a chance they're not planning a new chipset for broadwell. Reply
Laststop311 - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkActually they usually do keep the same socket if it is just a die shrink of the current architecture. Like when 32nm sandy bridge shrunk to 22nm ivy bridge it kept the same socket then when IB changes to haswell it was a new architecture still on 22nm so the socket changed up broadwell is just a die shrink to 14nm it will not have ddr4 or pcie 4.0 or sata express so I don't see any reason why it would not use the same LGA 1150 socket.
When intel goes from 14nm broadwell to the new skylake architecture on 14nm which will bring ddr4 pcie 4.0 and sata express to mainstream desktop users we will have to see a new socket for the new features. Reply
Laststop311 - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkbroadwell will also still only have 16x pci-e lanes on the mainstream socket just like haswell does. Nowhere close to the 40 lanes haswell E has on the enthusiast socket, we will have to wait for skylake 14nm architecture changes and even then the mainstream lga 1151 socket will get 20x pci-e lanes still very short of the 40 lanes the enthusiast socket gives.
I hate how intel does that. They purposefully cut the lanes so you'll buy the higher enthusiast boards and chips to get the full 40 lanes Reply
Homeles - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkThe vast, vast majority of consumers don't need remotely close to 40 lanes. You're a niche user -- you have to pay niche pricing. Get over it. Reply
1Angelreloaded - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - link2011 isn't enthusiast centric, x58,x79,x99 are really hybrid boards that allow workstation regular PC hybrids similar to the Titan series GPUs, fact of the matter is for an enthusiast especially gamers you really don't need anything beyond the PCIe 3.0 x8 in a dual configuration(SLI/Crossfire), you will never bottleneck at the bus level, now for workstations well lets just say 3-5k GPU cards x4 in some cases isn't really ever enough.

1Angelreloaded - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkNO, just no, stop with the damn graphics already on the CPU die, I can understand this for OEM applications, but this does not belong in mid to higher end consumer products. A lot of are made to pay for this poor video solution that we never use, and most likely never will ever. The stupidity of the industry in the last 10 years has become a contest of who can price gouge, selling individual units at inflated costs to basically price fix the entire market with micro improvements, and holding on to outdated poor standards that have come to become a stifling agent. Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkGuess what? You'll pay the same for an Intel CPU regardless of it containing a GPU or not. Just look at the prices of those socket 1150 Xeons with and without GPUs. Reply
unixbrain - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkActually, the lowest price for the consumer involves leaving the integrated graphics in place. Despite what the AnandTech comment section might lead you to believe, the vast majority of Intel's customers do not want or need discrete graphics, and your preference is the minority. Maybe not the minority of enthusiasts, but the minority nonetheless.
Producing separate versions of each core without the GPU just for you would almost certainly involve charging MORE because of the additional research, engineering, and manufacturing lines that would be required for these separate, minority-oriented products.
Also I am very sorry that you are disappointed with the iterative development process. I happen to think we've (cumulatively) seen some pretty drastic improvement in the last decade. Reply
larkhon - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkseems pretty pointless to invest in iGPU in high end CPUs, but I think with new technologies like HSA we might be able to maximize the usage of the whole CPU/GPU. Now question is which standard is going to be the most popular and/or supported by Intel. Reply
stephenbrooks - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkActually it's not *that* daft. If you imagine an engineer who does mostly CPU-heavy work but still wants to see it rendered in 3D, they probably don't need enough GPU horsepower to run Skyrim on Ultra settings, but they need more than the emulation you get with no GPU at all. Hence these high-end CPUs with mid-end iGPUs are a cost-effective way of getting that (assuming the company is being sensible and avoiding the Xeon price gouge). Reply

BMNify - Sunday, March 23, 2014 - linkseveral points to consider here , the fact pentium even the quad core does Not have AVX or AVX2 is a severe problem as a mass cpu today, as is the fact that people don't seem to realize that Intel have at best 2 or 2 tick/tocks to get the the generic UHD-2 7680 pixels wide by 4320 pixels high (33.2 megapixels) and requires 16 times the number of pixels as the current 1080p HDTV. It is the generation after 4K, which is set at 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high.
its also apparent that many are unaware of the true long term UHD initiatives by NHK and the BBC R&D http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2013/06/defining-the-... also you should be aware that NHK is To Give 8K Broadcast Demo at NAB Show
the Japanese public broadcaster NHK is planning to give a demonstration of "8K" resolution content over at single 6MHz bandwidth UHF TV channel at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show coming up in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 5 to 10.
This will be the first demonstration of an 8K Super Hi-Vision over-the-air broadcast outside Japan, according to the NAB Show organizers.
Engineers from NHK are also set to present details of a long-distance, single-channel, over-the-air 8K test broadcast conducted recently in Japan.
In order to transmit the 8K signal, whose raw data requirement is 16 times greater than an HDTV signal, it was necessary to deploy additional technologies
These include ultra multi-level orthogonal frequency domain multiplex (OFDM) transmission and dual–polarized multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas.
This was in addition to image data compression. The broadcast uses 4096-point QAM modulation and MPEG-4 AVC H.264 video coding.
Flagship broadcasting events such as the Olympic games or the soccer world cup often do much to stimulate switchover. Tokyo's successful bid to host the summer Olympic games in 2020 is seen as the event which may mark the beginning of the 8K era... Reply
HardwareDufus - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkWhen all of this 8K stuff is ready..... well then I'll just use my system with an I7-7770k to run it.....

I spent a few summers waiting tables in Newport so I like to think that I've acquired a sort of half-local, half-tourist status. I still appreciate the town with all the enthusiasm of a visitor, but I've learned which places are total tourist-traps and which ones have food worth eating.
Cold Fusion has gelato worth eating. Actually, it has gelato that's a delight to eat. It's a relatively unassuming space—bright and clean with a handful of tables and two service cases full of gelato and sorbet. By now, I've had little square tasting spoons of just about every flavor and, OK, full scoops of most them.
I've been impressed by most of the flavors, but the hazelnut gelato ($4.31/small) always leaves me absolutely floored. It has all of the rich decadence you would expect of small-batch, handmade gelato (each flavor is made fresh every day). Couple that with the purest expression of hazelnuts you can possibly imagine, and you've got an idea of this flavor.
Hazelnut isn't necessarily one of my favorite foods, but this gelato makes me a hazelnut fanatic. It also makes me a little mad that hazelnuts are so often tied up with chocolate. Because, with my apologies to Nutella, this is what happens to hazelnuts when they die and go to heaven: they become Cold Fusion gelato. And there's good news for those of us don't have full-time local status in Newport—you can buy Cold Fusion by the pint in twenty stores around New England.

I f only the people of the cities had had faith and fear, We would have opened up to them blessings from heaven and Earth. But they denied the truth, so We seized them for what they earned. (Surat al-A'raf, 7:96)
As the Opener, Allah tests people with hardship. However, He does not impose an unbearable burden on anyone. When Allah sends difficulty to His sincere servants, He also opens a way out. Moreover, after each test He sends ease. Indeed, Allah cites the hardships that our Prophet (saas) encountered, as follows:
Did We not expand your breast and remove your load, which weighed down your back? Did We not raise your renown high? For truly with hardship comes ease; truly with hardship comes ease. (Surat al-Inshirah, 94:1-6)
Allah gives many examples of the help He offers to believers. For example, He supported Prophet Musa (as) during his troubles and eased his way. When he asked Allah to let his brother Harun (as) accompany him on his mission to Pharaoh, Allah granted his request.
This is only one example of Allah's continuous support and help for believers. He eventually removes their hardships, even those that seem impossible to overcome. Yet, He makes the unbelievers' hearts narrow and constricted and withholds His blessings from them. No power can restore these blessings, for only Allah can grant them.

... nor will they humble themselves until We open to them a gate to a harsh punishment in which they will at once be crushed by despair. (Surat al-Mu'minun, 23:76-77)

Barnacle Wars
In the battle against fouling, could this system be the nautical version of a Jedi lightsaber?
By Capt. Ken Kreisler — April 2004
Countless creatures large and small live in the complex soup that is the marine environment, most going about their existence virtually unnoticed by terrestrial, top-of-the-food-chainers. Others make their presence known in the most disturbing and annoying ways. Ever get whiplashed by a Portuguese man-of-war? Or attacked by a herd of sea lice?
There is one creature, however, that affects boaters to no end. It is that most bothersome of pests belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, of the class Crustecea, of the subclass Cirripedia, more commonly known around the docks as balanus glandula, the acorn barnacle.
Barnacles came to man's attention as early as 1678, when Sir Robert Moray, a founder of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, proposed that they were the eggs of barnacle geese. In his examinations he wrote that he "found little shells, having within them little birds perfectly shaped." In fact, one urban legend from the Middle Ages proposed that if they fell from pilings, barnacles would hatch into goslings.
But we know better. There are some 36 species of barnacles, and when it comes time for a haul-out, it can look like the entire lineup has adhered to our boat's hull bottom and running gear. Indeed, the little buggers are quite the holders-on. During one of their more insidious stages of development—their equivalent of the teen years—the barnacles float in the tidal zone and frequently use a sticky substance to grab on to a piece of your boat's bottom. This stuff has a holding power akin to that of 3M's famous 5200 adhesive, and once anchored, the barnacle quickly grows a shell and takes up permanent residence. How quickly? It forms the first of its six shells within just ten hours.
While you can protect your vessel with the latest antifouling products, some barnacles still manage to take hold, occasionally on the hull and running gear and more often in raw-water passages that cannot be painted, including your sea strainers. These portals provide an excellent breeding ground, and as barnacles are prolific procreators, before you know it, with a couple of randy bugs running rampant in your raw-water cooling loop, your heat exchangers have become starved for cool water and the temperature of key components has suddenly crept into the danger zone.
So how does one battle balanus glandula in these interior spaces? Cathelco has a solution. It's a U.K.-based company whose products include marine pipework antifouling and corrosion-suppression systems for ships and yachts. According to the company, its Nano System (for boats 20 to 70 feet in length) and Micro System (for yachts 70 feet and larger) protect against barnacle and mussel growth in raw-water systems.
Next page > Part 2: In its 30 years of operation, Cathelco claims to have installed more than 7,500 systems. > Page 1, 2, 3

After brushback pitch, Cespedes tees off
Slugger belts two-run, 433-foot home run to center in eighth inning
CINCINNATI -- There are some hitters who actually can be moved off the plate by a high-and-tight fastball. But the Red Sox learned on Tuesday night that their prized new power hitter doesn't fall under that category.
If you want to buzz Yoenis Cespedes, go right ahead. But he just might make you sorry one pitch later.
That's precisely what happened to Jonathan Broxton with two outs in the top of the eighth at Great American Ball Park. His 95-mph heater caught too much of the plate, and Cespedes nailed a 433-foot bullet to center for a two-run homer that led the Red Sox to a 3-2 victory.
"A lot of times pitchers think when you get a pitch thrown high and tight on you like that, you'll back off and get a little flustered, but that's not how I am," said Cespedes through an interpreter. "I was able to focus myself more after that pitch and was able to get a good pitch to hit."
Of course, Cespedes didn't just hit it. He crushed it on to the berm well beyond the wall.
"I haven't looked at it -- you all had a better look at it than I did," said Broxton. "But I think it was more middle, and that's not where you want to be against him."
And the preceding pitch that went just under the chin of Cespedes? Broxton said he actually brushed Cespedes back by accident.
"It just got away from me; I tried to overthrow it," said Broxton. "I've hit him already one time in my career, and it just got away from me. I wasn't trying to go in, I was trying to go away and I tried to overthrow it and it took off."
Next thing you know, the baseball took off, soaring high and deep and giving the Red Sox their first lead of the night.
It was the second homer for Cespedes in a Boston uniform, and second in the last two games.
"Two consecutive games now he's come up big in the eighth inning," said manager John Farrell. "Broxton seemed to try to stand him up with a fastball, then he gets a fastball up over the plate and shows how strong he is, but a timely hit against another late-inning reliever."
The Red Sox acquired the outfielder in a blockbuster trade with the Athletics for Jon Lester on July 31.
"It's a middle-of-the-order bat," said Farrell. "He gives us a certain presence in the middle of the order, and a much needed one. And he's shown on all sides of the baseball that he's a complete player. Having that ability to change the game with one swing of the bat is important for us."
Another new acquisition, right-hander Joe Kelly, also turned in a strong effort. Over six innings, Kelly allowed five hits and two runs. He walked three while striking out four.
Kelly got a no-decision after winning his Boston debut against his former team, the Cardinals, last week.
And for good measure, Kelly also stole his first career base, surprising the Reds by taking third in the third inning.
Kelly led off that third with a single to right against righty Matt Latos. After moving to second on a sacrifice bunt, Kelly stole third uncontested. It was the first stolen base by a Boston pitcher since Bill Landis on Sept. 8, 1969, against the Indians. And no Sox pitcher had swiped third since Tom Brewer on July 39, 1959, also against Cleveland.
"It was my first one," said Kelly. "Latos wasn't looking and I timed him up a little bit. I knew, it was 3-0, [Dustin Pedroia] wasn't going to swing. That's the kind of hitter he is. I just tried to time him up and get on third base with one out and try to get in scoring position."
However, Kelly's surprising steal didn't lead to a run. David Ortiz popped to short and Cespedes flew to left to end the threat.
Lefty Tommy Layne earned the win by recording three big outs and setting the table for Koji Uehara, who came on in the ninth for save No. 26.
"He's done a very good job in the short time he's been here," Farrell said of Layne. "A lot of strikes. He's got the ability to vary that arm slot, which makes him difficult against lefties. He varied that and used it tonight. He and Edwin [Mujica] combined for two innings of work and solid outings on their part."
Kelly labored through the first, opening his night by walking Billy Hamilton, who is recognized by most as the fastest man in the game. Hamilton then stole second. Jay Bruce also walked. Todd Frazier and Devon Mesorasco followed with RBI singles, and the Reds had a 2-0 lead.
"I thought he had very good stuff tonight, better stuff tonight than his first start in St. Louis," said Farrell. "He might've pitched a little bit fine early on, the two walks came back to haunt him, but I thought he settled in well and really got into a good rhythm. He has three-plus pitches for strikes tonight with very good fastball velocity."
While Kelly settled down nicely from the mound, the Red Sox couldn't produce anything of substance against Latos until the seventh.
Daniel Nava led off with a double to left-center and Xander Bogaerts lined an RBI single to left to make it a 2-1 game.
And the big swing from Cespedes swung the game in Boston's favor.

CRADLEY raced to arguably their most impressive victory of the season as they put one over old rivals Mildenhall 50-40 at West Row.
The Heathens have been in dominant form so far this season, but they entered the meeting without star duo Steve Worrall and Paul Starke plus young reserve Danny Phillips.
Despite being heavily depleted, Will Pottinger's side put in a gutsy display to claim a spectacular win against a strong Fen Tigers side.
It was a superb team effort which sees Cradley extend their winning run to a magnificent 12 matches – and Pottinger was full of praise for his patched up side.
He said: "It was a fantastic effort from everyone. Without our top two guys, and then missing Danny (Phillips) at reserve we thought we were going to be up against it, so to come away from Mildenhall with a ten point win is a brilliant achievement.
"All six lads deserve a great amount of credit for the effort they put in. We probably would have been happy leaving with a point beforehand, so to come away with all four is superb."
Talented youngster Nathan Greaves stepped up with a match-winning display at reserve, piling up a vital 13+2 points to top score for the visitors.
He was involved in four Heathens 5-1s as they established an early lead before Max Clegg reeled off three consecutive wins in his final three rides to see his side over the line.
Guesting at number one Oliver Greenwood and Matt Williamson also recorded two race wins apiece whilst solid showings from Tom Perry and reserve Luke Harris saw Cradley claim a memorable win.
Mildenhall 40: Joe Jacobs 11, Danny Halsey 10+1, Connor Coles 6+1, Connor Mountain 6+1, Brendan Johnson 5+1, Jack Kingston 2+1, Josh Bates r/r.
Cradley 50: Nathan Greaves 13+2, Max Clegg 12+1, Oliver Greenwood 9, Matt Williamson 7+1, Tom Perry 5+1, Luke Harris 4+2, Steve Worrall r/r.

JNo - Monday, July 11, 2005 - linkGuys, I think most of you are missing the point - this is not meant to be a *comprehensive* test of BF2 (with CPU, *all* midrange cards and picture detail analysis etc) but a general look at how a game that will become part of anandtech's new benchmark suite, performs in general across a range of cards. It does this very well and gave me an impression of how a variety of core cards scale with the game.
Again, the article is called "BF2 **GPU** Performance Analysis" so stop whinging about lack of CPU scaling tests and not knowing how the game performs on true midrange systems - that is not the point of the article!! Read a general BF2 performance article elsewhere for that... Reply

bobsmith1492 - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkWhat I get out of this is that ATI cards struggle at higher resolutions, but thrive with AA; Nvidia is the opposite.
It makes sense for ATI to go for the AA since most people have smaller monitors, although higher resolution is really better all around. Reply

Canadian Graphics Card Pricing:
ATI x800xl: $329 AGP (www.canadacomputers.com) $379 PCIE (NCIX)
6800gt: $379 at NCiX if you can catch a sale.
$400 PCIE (NCIX) Basically if you want a 6800gt you have to spend $400.
X850XT: $499 (Bestbuy Sale - It just started today and until now this card cost $650)
Asus 7800GTX: $669 (NCIX sale)
ss284 - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkBTW, x850xt's are hitting closer to the 375-400 price mark now. The 7800 is still 550-600. Reply
yacoub - Friday, July 08, 2005 - link"...it has been a constant struggle to ... properly render resolutions above 1600x1200 on analog monitors."
Everyone should be running LCDs for high resolutions these days anyway. Much easier on the eyes and weigh maybe a tenth as much as some giant friggin' CRT.
Thanks for adding the X800XL and 6800GT to the comparisons, they were much desired. Now if only the tests were done on more common systems so we could actually expect to get the same FPS results as your tests (FX-55). Reply
tgjp - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkJust like to say, I've bought a system with 7800GTX in SLi and I am very excited about using this machine, and perhaps playing battlefield2. Reply
Pastuch - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkNormally I really enjoy Anandtech articles but this one was sorely lacking. I agree with the other twelve posters. How could you leave the X800XL and 6800GT out of this comparison? Who is going to buy an x850xt when they can purchase a 7800gtx for almost the same money? No One. So why include it in the test? I'm assuming it was because that is the fastest ATI solution available but I still dont think it was a good idea. I thought the purpose of this article was to help people decide which card to purchase. Why did you choose cards that have almost zero interest to your typical Anand reader?
I also dont like the naming conventions used for each test. Why not say 2xAF instead of "med" for texture filtering settings. Its just confusing.
To your credit though I did enjoy seeing the two 7800gtxs in SLI do 2000+ resolution above 60fps. That was something I thought was impossible. If you own a Dell 2405FPW or a 2005FPW then SLI is what you need. Native res on the 2405 is 1900x1200 and apparently a couple 7800s is the key to gaming euphoria.
If you want to run BF2 in widescreen all you have to do is change the shortcut command line to:
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050
This will force the resolution you desire, however the POV can not be changed. This means that your verticle vision will be cropped. Also, you wont get the usual advantage of more peripheral vision due to the wide aspect. If you want to read more about widescreen gaming in BF2 read www.widescreengamingforum.com
legoman666 - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkDo you guys think that you could run a few benchmarks on Windows XP Pro x64 Edition? I downloaded and played the demo and on my comp: (2.4ghz A64, x800pro, 1gb ram, at 1024x768, with a 3mb dsl connection) the game lagged so badly and had the most horrible fps ever. Almost as bad as when i tried to play doom3 @ 1600x1200 at 4xaa 16xAF with a 9700pro.
or if anyone else has had experience playing the game on x64 windows and would like to share it, thatd be good too.

ElFenix - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkyou're surprised that you can still see jaggies at high resolutions? resolution doesn't keep the jaggies from happening, it only makes them smaller. i really don't know why you'd be surprised at that. and, of course, if you're running an 24" LCD that can do 1920x1440, your DPI is worse than a 19" CRT running 1600x1200(~95 for the LCD and ~110 for the CRT). so the jaggy is ever MORE noticeable than it was on the CRT, and AA is even MORE important than at the lower resolution, but higher DPI, CRT. and jaggies are plenty noticeable at 110 DPI.

formulav8 - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkI just bought a Regular 6800 Vanilla AGP and thought/hoping that should/would be included.
I am happy that mine unlocks the pipes and shader just fine! (Well, so far anyways)
I ran 3DMark03 and got 8086 with stock pipes and got 8778 with 16x6x pipes. Not to bad with a fairly slow cpu. Thats a 8% increase with no oc or anything, and with a fairly slow cpu that is bottlenecking most likely.
I will try ocing it next week when I get a cpu/mobo that will push it alittle more.
I am running a Athlon XP with 128KB L1 and 128KB L2 Cache at 2ghz. And yes, that IS the right L2 Cache numbers on this cpu :)
Are there any instructions that I can find to run my own benchmark numbers for BattleField2?? Anyone know???

pcfountain - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkAnd while I'm on the subject of price/performance, how about a graph of street price vs. FPS for each card, so we can see the "value" of each card visually? The more I think about what information this article *should have* presented, I come to realize that it is just fluff. The basic conclusion is that higher-priced cards get better FPS. No duh? Reply
pcfountain - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkI agree with many others, leaving the X800XL out of this roundup (and in fact EVERY X800-series card) is a HUGE oversight. The X800XL a very popular card and probably the best price/performance ratio for the high-end right now. IMO the article is useless without this comparison. Reply

from all the guides ive seen, there is a very small difference in graphics by moving to High settings from medium, but you see a big performance hit. You should tested the low/midrange cards using medium, because i doubt many people are going to crank it up to high and then play at 1024x768.

Where are the mainstream cards such as 9800 Pro? What percentage of Anandtech's audience uses 7800 GTX or an SLI setup? Why not focus on the "mainstream" cards such as the 9800s, the 6800GT and non spend tons of stats on $1000 video card setups.

"When you're looking at screenshots and movies from Battlefield 1942 you cant stop noticing that it is damn beautiful; could you tell us something more about the technique behind the game? We heard that you developed your own engine, could you please tell us a little bit more about it?
The engine is named Refractor2 and is completely home made, just as it's predecessor, Refractor. The reason why we made our own engine, and didn't use any of the well known engines as say the Quake3 engine or the Unreal Tournament engine, is because of the specific demands that Battlefield 1942 has.

Yelapaboy - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkOne thing I have noticed with my 3.2 @ 3.6 P4 with X800 XT PE main rig is that although I notice a pretty nice difference at very high res with older games and sims I don't notice that much with newer shooters that use shaders such as HL2, Doom 3, and Far Cry. For example I was almost as happy playing Far Cry at 1024x768 with 2X temporal FSAA on my old 9700Pro as 1600x1200 4X with my X800 XT PE, I can't tell much difference in HL2, Butcher Bay or Doom 3 when I go above 1280x960 on my 22" Viewsonic P225 and pretty much run them at that res. I figure my year and a half old main rig with it's year old video card easily has another year left of keeping me wildly happy although I am chomping at the bit for a dual core AMD CPU and the 7800 is certainly awesome. I feel that of the games I play only IL2 and FS2004 would give me a definitely better gaming experience with more GPU and CPU but as it is they run quite well. At any rate great article but I would have liked to see certain other cards tested. Reply

Oh wait, I wonder what the rest of the test system's specs are (I didn't see them on any of the pages). If it's like an FX-57 or something then that's not exactly promising for the majority of us running 3000+-3700+ A64 systems who will clearly experience a bit lower performance. =/ Reply
Avalon - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - link#18,
An X700 does not have twice the pipes of a 9800 pro, it has the same exact ammount. It also is not clocked much higher. The x700pro is clocked at 425/860 compared to a 9800pro at 380/680. As you can see, core speeds are fairly close, and memory speeds...well, the 9800pro is 256bit while the x700pro is 128bit, so despite the clockspeed advantage, the x700 should actually have less memory bandwidth in the end. This puts the cards roughly equal. Reply
OrSin - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkthe x700pro is clocked a little higher but has the same number of pipes and only 128 bus where the 9800pro has 256 bus. In truth the 9800pro is faster then the x700 and might be about the same as the 700pro or just little faster. Reply

How can you when all you keep asking yourself is how someone could do that to a bunch of innocent children. I think that is what gets everyone inside their hearts and souls so deeply. They think about their own kids or their nieces or nephews and think about what they were like or are like in elementary school and imagined them killed in cold blood. They imagine them hiding in corners of classrooms and the teachers who would probably do anything to keep them safe. It is impossible not to be affected by it. I guess I am talking about it, but, this is emotional talking. I know that when I Tweeted and Facebooked it yesterday, that it was good for a lot of people to discuss. When something like this happens, it makes you realize how trivial gossip is, but at the same time, I know that I took a few minutes to escape yesterday reading some gossip and try and take a breather from the intensity of the situation and the coverage.

Updated estimates by a federal agency indicate that spending on health care will rise from 17.3 percent of GDP last year to 19.3 percent in 2019 -- 0.3 percent higher as a result of this year's health reform legislation and a few other changes.
According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), by 2019 about 32.5 million more individuals will have health insurance. That would be nearly 93 percent of the population, compared to 83 percent before the legislation.
Concord Coalition Policy Director Joshua Gordon notes in a new blog post, however, that the report doesn't offer hard numbers on the growth of health care costs over the long term. The recent Medicare trustees report, though, suggests that the cost-control efforts in new legislation could gradually produce modest savings.
But both CMS and the trustees note tremendous uncertainty in coming to any conclusions on overall health care costs -- especially over the long term -- from such a complex piece of legislation. What is also clear, Gordon says, is that the relatively benign projections on the cost of the reform legislation will depend on Congress sticking to the cost controls that were built into it.

New London man gets 15-year sentence for inappropriate touching
New London - A 41-year-old New London man was sentenced to 15 years in prison and ordered to register as a sexual offender Friday for inappropriately groping two young girls.
Harold L. "Monty" Waites was found guilty in March of two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor. The same jury delivered a not guilty verdict on the two more serious charges of first-degree sexual assault.
Prosecution had alleged that after a night of drinking at a friend's house in New London on March 26, 2011, Waites went into the bedroom where two girls, ages 9 and 10, were sleeping, and touched them inappropriately.
Assistant State's Attorney Lawrence J. Tytla prosecuted.
Judge Arthur C. Hadden sentenced Waites to 20 years suspended after 15 years in prison and 20 years probation with restrictions that bar him from any contact with minors.

I have recently tried running without tunes. Basically started when I thought the race was going to have better sound than it did, and another time my phone got wet and ruined, and multiple times where I just forgot to grab the Yurbuds (or where they were).
I got quite a charge out of running with music. Some music would really kick my butt into action. Its been about 3 weeks, and Im also enjoying focusing on nature, my breathing, the sound of my footfalls and a little less technology to worry about.
One race I had my comedy mix in with my running music. Started LAUGHING in the middle of a race. (I dont know how to FFW songs while running) so I could only turn down the volume and run in the quiet for about 8 minutes. (out of a 1/4 Marathon).

I actually don't have very many particular songs that stand out for me for running. I'm a bit of an EDM (electronic dance music) junkie and generally just listen to mixes from DJs I like. It's incredible how a mix can progress and how much it can affect me when running and will profoundly affect my run (I know I'm not alone in this). If I'm having difficulty in a run I'll try to picture myself at a rave and imagine that I'm dancing rather than running. It works well for me
A couple standalone tracks that I've known to really keep me going are:
Infected Mushroom - Frog Machine
Justice - We Are Your Friends (DJ Isaac Remix)
Mixes are what I listen to for the most part though:
Also, for those who don't know, EDM mixes are essentially what DJs do live. They mix multiple songs together on the fly seamlessly literally without missing a beat.
DJ Isaac (genre: hardstyle)
Chaos D (genre: UK Hardcore)
S3RL (genre: UK Hardcore)
The Prototypes (genre: DnB)
A few "new" faves of mine:
Hall of Fame - The Script (feat. will.i.am)
[Untitled] - REM Green Album ("This world is big/ And so are we")
I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly
Island in the Sun - Weezer
He Got Game - Public Enemy
Public Enemy
Public Enemy
Now not the only one I know of who'd have both on a playlist.
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
Now not the only one I know of who'd have both on a playlist.
If the beat and lyrics are right, I can run to it.
Edited to add: Sometimes I don't know if I'm running or dancing.

Good policy.

Gretchen Reynolds on Running Myths
Gretchen Reynolds is a sports writer and runner. She talks with Jim Fleming about the theories concerning running and the body which modern exercise physiology is exposing as purely myths.
Calories in, Calories Out
Please consider following up on Gretchen Reynold's comment that "good science" about weight loss still comes down to "calories in; calories out." The magazine she writes for has published several articles by Gary Taubes that argue that carbohydrates are what we should be watching as we tackle weight loss.
BTW, I really like the new website. I am going to enjoy using it to follow up on your show as I do every week. My books shelves are groaning with books I bought by authors you've had on the show.
Thanks much,
Cindy Zautcke
Carbs = Calories
Carbohydrates are high in calories. If you watch them, you will lose weight because you're restricting your calories in.
Carbs and calories
Carbs aren't high in calories. Carbs and proteins both have the same amount of calories: 4 kcal per gram (by weight) Fat actually has more calories, more than twice as much, at 9 kcal per gram. However, that doesn't mean you should eat more carbs and protein if you want to lose weight. It's more important to understand the right balance of carbs, proteins and fats that are right for your situation, as each is processed and used differently by the body.

I'm looking for a solution to evaluate a piece of python code and should make a decision whether or not it is safe to run using eval(...). This means it should check if there are imports, system calls, any other possible exploits or dangerous calls in order to make sure the code (which will be input by an user) is safe to run.
Are there any such libraries? (preferably open-source) Any advantages or disadvantages to any specific library?

Topic: Why carrot juice?
I am most likely being thick, but I cannot find any information on why everyone is taking carrot juice. Checked cancer websites and also googled but still I am in the dark. Can someone please tell me what is it for...general liver health or antioxidant or something else....
