Holiday Egg Traditionsby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Holidays, April 21, 2011
While the egg is certainly a high-protein breakfast staple, this versatile ingredient is also a fixture in many traditional spring holiday meals. I polled the Healthy Eats team to find out all about their favorites.
For the Easter holiday, eggs symbolize resurrection and the coming of Spring. My Italian family loves to make two totally different holiday egg dishes. It wouldn't be Easter brunch without savory deviled eggs and then for dessert, the smooth and creamy egg-yolk based zabaglione.
Liz and her sister have kept up the tradition of coloring eggs for Easter. She says "our favorite part: 'tie-dying' eggs at the end. When you're done with each color, drip in a few drops of a contrasting color, then let the color settle on the egg. A swirl pattern that's different each time will show up." This year, the plan is to tackle making their own natural colorings for the eggs.
Katie's family tradition comes from her great aunt. She bakes cookies shaped like dolls for the girls and rocking horses for the boys. While we don't have the secret family recipe, Toby's recipe sugar for cookies would be a great substitute.
Devilish Eggs & Emerald Eggs
Zabaglione With Berries
Homemade Food Dyes
Holiday Sugar Cookies
During the Passover seder, Toby's family eats hard boiled eggs in a salt water mixture. The egg (or "Bei-tza" in Hebrew) symbolizes life and the coming of Spring.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't really challenge myself when it comes to fashion. Sometimes I do…sometimes I don't. It's a problem, I know. To rectify (I don't think I've ever used that word before) the situation, I decided to work on that. Welcome to my Chambray Blazer Challenge.
Last week, I was strolling around the new Target by my house and I came across this Merona Oxford blazer. I couldn't help but pick it up and pray that it fit me. My brain was just buzzing around the different ways I could wear it. Unfortunately, it's not available in plus sizes, but the XXL did fit me and I'm a 16/18. And yes, it does button. I'd like to note that it is lighter in person and it's a pretty thin material. Perfect for spring and summer.
As I contemplated buying it, I realized (with the help of my boo Ivory) that I would definitely get my money's worth with a style challenge like this. Below you'll find my first outfit. OK…I know the picture sucks. I'm so sorry for that. I was at my conference in Dallas and after a long day I forgot to ask someone to take the photos for me. Soooooooo…you get an iPhone pic. I promise the next pics will be taken by someone else and not my phone…annnnd I won't be so wrinkled.
This was a really comfortable outfit, especially for a conference. By the way, I can't stand how cute my open toe flats are! They have a little bling by the toes, but you can't see that. Boooo! Anyways, I love the idea of being able to wear this so many different ways and for different occasions. Wonder where I'll wear it next? And I wonder how many looks I can get out this chambray blazer!
I'm already planning the next outfit! How would you wear it? Do you have any ideas?
The outfit: Merona Oxford Chambray blazer (Target), Light Orange Woven Scoop Tank (Forever 21+), Broadway Ankle Zip Stiletto Jeans (Torrid), Necklace (Forever 21), Tribal Print Report Flats (Ross).

SANFORD, Fla. - Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi won't be deposed by attorneys representing almost 60 defendants charged with running a veterans' charity that prosecutors say served as a front for a gambling operation.
A Seminole County judge's order earlier this month blocked defense attorneys' efforts to depose Bondi.
Judge Kenneth Lester's order is among a series of orders and motions filed this month in anticipation of the start of trial in mid-September for some of the defendants.
Former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll resigned earlier this year after she was interviewed as part of the probe into Allied Veterans. She denies wrongdoing and hasn't been charged with a crime.
Other Florida politicians are on defense witness lists, including Gov. Rick Scott and Agricultural Secretary Adam Putnam.
The defendants say they did nothing wrong.

D2 Oscar Reyna-Blanco has been selected as a recipient of a 2013 CDA Foundation Latinos for Dental Careers (LDC) Scholarship. The Latinos for Dental Careers scholarship award supports individuals of Latino descent who are enrolled full time in a dental program at one of the California dental schools.
"I am very honored to have been awarded a Latinos for Dental Careers scholarship from the CDA Foundation. It was a difficult decision to pursue my dental degree at UCSF rather than returning to my undergraduate institution. However, there has not been one day that I have regretted that choice. The support and guidance I have received from the faculty and mentors at UCSF is incomparable. It is because of them that I have been given a variety of amazing opportunities, including this scholarship."
About the CDA Foundation: The CDA Foundation offers financial support for oral health programs and dental education statewide. In this way, funding reaches local communities where it's needed most. Two ways they give are through community grants and educational scholarships. Over the years, these awards have enabled countless people to receive more than $10 million in care.

Thanks for the article! An interesting piece, especially the conclusion which is spot on,
but it does need a bit of a proof read, eg. "That is benefit afforded by an overclocking
platform platform...", was particularly painful. ;D

Ian Cutress - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkMixed up some of the ST and MT data. Should be fixed now. Reply
TheJian - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkSo how far do you get on the stock fan? It's good for 95w and this chip is 53w with gpu on, so disabling it using the stock HSF gets you how far? A stock fan built for i7's should get a reasonable overclock with no extra cost (not 4.7ghz obviously). Since this is truly aimed at the poor (who else? people wanting to far around with ocing?), they'll likely be trying it with stock.
Any data on that, or did I miss that point in the article? I'd like to know what is stable on stock. Nobody seems to cover this. Reply
techtonic717 - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkI have overclocked one on an Asus H81M motherboard with the stock heatsink. 4.2ghz runs nice. The motherboard ups the voltage to 1.224v and running OCCT it gets temps of up to 64 degrees Celsius at full load. If I go up to 4.4ghz the motherboard ups the voltage to 1.37v and then the temps are in the high 70's to low 80's. Manually lowering the voltage results in crashing. It is still stable but I think 4.2-4.3ghz on the stock cooler is the best option. Reply
Zap - Thursday, July 17, 2014 - linkThis information is much more useful than the typical "stock HSF sucks" comments. Thanks! Reply
EagleEye2014 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkHi, could you please provide me the exact motherboard name, i would like to try it at my place and buying a 87 & 97 chip set boards are little costlier to me now, also i have checked the compatible boards for this processor at Intel site and i wasn't able to locate any Asus boards with the 81 chipset, saw a few MSI 81 chipset boards which are not available at my place. Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWhy would you pair this with dual 770's? Of course it's not going to perform as well as an i3, but what about single GPU setups (I saw the results in the first page, but no minimum frame rates??) I can't imagine anyone spending $700+ on GPU's and then reaching this low for the processor, but for a $400 build with a 270 or a 750 Ti? It's a whole different ball game. Please base your review off of realistic use cases! Reply
Ian Cutress - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkSingle GPU data is on the first page when you scroll down. We have data for those four CPUs.
For direct comparison with other CPUs, our Bench pages use SLI data Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkAverage FPS are listed in this chart, but no minimum frame times like those shown for the dual set ups. Especially when the averages are within 1-2% for most games, I would rather see minimum frame times to highlight the CPU differences rather than the GPU bottleneck. Reply
jabber - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIndeed but as we are told so often on these comments -
"Huh I thought this was an enthusiasts site! No one here buys or is interested in this crap!"
So to keep the kids happy you have to throw stupid levels of kit into the mix to keep them happy. Whereas those of us that have grown older, got kids and more cost concious just think "so what would this do in a real world setup with a $150 GPU for a bit of gaming on the side?" Reply
HanzNFranzen - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWhile reading that part of the article I was under the impression that a 770 was used to ensure that the CPU would be the bottleneck to show the maximum you could get out of it, though I could be wrong. Sorry, but I think the realistic use case was summed up pretty well in the conclusion. There really is no point in buying this processor to pair with a 750ti and try to make a budget gaming system. I say this because you are for sure going to have to buy an after market cooler to run at that high of an over clock, and the fact that I see the Haswell i3 on sale for around $110 on a pretty regular basis, you are talking about a $15 or so difference in price. So realistically, for that little bit of money, why buy a processor that you are running on at the edge of it's life at all times (high heat and voltage) instead of an i3 that can run at stock and be as good and sometimes way better in games? Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkDue to the low starting TDP of haswell, almost any aftermarket cooler will suffice. Combine that with the CPU+MB combos offered lately for the G3258, and a complete system can be built for much less than an i3 build.
For example, I just built a system with a G3258 + Gigabyte B85 (yes it does support overclocking) aftermarket cooler, PSU, AMD 7850, 8 GB memory, for ~$240. Reply
HanzNFranzen - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkokay, soo... minus out $75 for the processor, minus out $25 for the cpu cooler (you aren't going to run 4.7ghz everyday on something less than like a Hyper 212) =$100... now add in $110 for the i3 that's on Newegg as we speak and buy your same exact parts... $10 difference (ok plus what, like $15 for you combo discount?) so for $25 you have you same build with an i3 instead and its a much better overall performer, not overclocked to it's teeth, not running high voltage all day long. Man, you seem to really want this Pentium to be amazing and a great value... but... it's not. Reply
HanzNFranzen - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkok sorry, $112.00 for the i3...not $110.00. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - link1.) Realize $112.50 for the 3MB cache Core i3-4130 on Newegg is due to the coupon code (which expires today, 7/14). Regular Newegg price for i3-4130 is $125
2.) Realize Ian tested G3258 against a $140 4MB cache Core i3-4330.
For some results of G3258 against a 3MB cache Haswell Core i3, see this Anandtech forum post--> http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=3652889... Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkBased on those results I linked of 4.7 GHz Pentium G3258 vs. Core i3-4150, I think a good future comparison would be 4.5 Ghz Pentium G3258 vs. Core i3-4130.
(4.5 GHz Pentium G3258 should be easily achievable as a budget package using a H81 non-Z overclock board and the stock HSF) Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkIt would be nice to see a review with Pentium G3258 and a smaller GPU (say the R7 260X which is currently starting at $85 AR at Newegg). This tested at lower detail setting and resolution.
Basically a budget build geared towards the budget gamer.
Then maybe compare to i3-4130 and R7 260X, Athlon x4 750K/760K and R7 260X,etc Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkHere are some reasons I posted in the Anandtech forum on why I would like to see some additional testing of Pentium G3258 with a smaller GPU:

MrSpadge - Sunday, July 27, 2014 - linkThey're not saying you would or should pair this CPU with dual GTX770's. But: if the CPU performance doesn't matter (or can't beat the i3) even for such strong GPUs, it won't matter with slower ones either. Reply
yhselp - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIt would be interesting to see how a hypothetical i3-K would perform. Perhaps it's possible to test with an i7-K at around 4.5 GHz and two cores disabled?
Also, it'd be interesting to see benchmarks with the type of games mentioned in the beginning of the review (and a low-mid range GPU) - DOTA 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, popular MMORPGs, Minecraft, etc. Reply
HanzNFranzen - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkYes, I agree totally. I think that the i3-K would the modern day version of the old Celerons because of the fact it is 4 threads. Ian did a great job in this article to show that we are past the point of '2 threads is enough' and a maxed out dual core isn't giving you the same extra free performance like over clocking did in the old days (because of todays low end of 4 thread processors). But as far as gaming is concerned, we have been to that point of '4 threads is enough' as seen by the i5 being the sweet spot for gaming for a couple years now. So a highly overclocked i3-K does fit into that scenario nicely. Perhaps Intel already knows this, and perhaps it fits a little TOO nicely that it would cut too far into i5 sales, and this is the reason they have not made one? So instead they chose to put out the Pentium-AE fully knowing it wouldn't cut into their i3 sales because the performance isn't there.
Also, I second the request for a hypothetical i3-K test that yhselp proposed! Reply
yhselp - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIndeed, but remember that we're talking about a specific set of games that aren't very demanding to begin with; in my mind, this Pentium-K or even a hypothetical i3-K would never be enough for proper high image quality gaming with the latest games, however, it might be very well-suited for DOTA/LoL/CS, etc. The source engine, especially with Valve games, is terribly single-threaded so I wouldn't be surprised if an OC'd G3258 actually pulls ahead of stock i3 under certain circumstances with these games. Unfortunately, that's one set of benchmarks we didn't get. Reply
eanazag - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThe problem with using the i-7's and down clocking to simulate lower tier processors is that the L3 cache is still there at 8MB, where those lower tier processors are severely castrated in that department. You can get the memory simulated and thread counts can kind of be controlled. Reply
Samus - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkJust makes no sense. Overclocking is generally targeted at gamers and data crunchers. The Pentium AE does neither because it has no hyper threading and no AES. Even at 5GHz this thing couldn't touch a stock i3 in gaming or data crunching. The salt on the wound is the i3 can be had for $40 more, and you can SAVE $40 opting for a non-overclocking motherboard chipset.
So basically for the same price, you can get an i3 platform with superior performance. This thing is literally just for "fun" but once reality sets in and you consider the facts, fun turns to regret.
I feel as if this chip is simply a delivery platform for high-end Intel chipsets to people who would otherwise get an H-series.
If you want a real overclocking platform, just spend the extra $100 and get an i5-4690k. If you want a quality gaming CPU or need modern multithreaded performance (and practically all apps/games are multithreaded now, BF4 practically requires quadcore) get an i3 for $40 more and save $40 on the fancy motherboard, breaking even compared to a Pentium AE. Reply
formulav8 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkTypical Intel gimmicks and some its seems think they are doing us a favor or whatever.
I was actually quite interested with and tinkering with a Pentium K until it was clear Intel makes you by a stinking Z board. Yeah Intel, a real Pentium celebration, for you. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkYou don't need a Z board to overclock Pentium G3258.
Also Intel supplies a beefy 95 watt cooler with Pentium G3258.....so no need buy aftermarket HSF unless a person is trying to squeeze out the last 200 Mhz of the overclock. Reply
Samus - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkSince only Z boards are firmware-ready for the G3258, unless you have a first-gen Haswell lying around along with a 80-series "new stepping" H81 or better, your stuck with a Z97 or "compatible" H97 (again, read firmware update required.)
All the launch boards/combo's for G3258 aren't Z97-chipsets by mistake. It is essentially required at this point. It will change as time goes on, but that doesn't change the fact you are better off with an i3+H81 for the SAME PRICE as a G3258+Z97. The G3258 is such a weak multithreaded performer (having two physical cores with no hyper-threading) that if you are looking to spend that little on some fun, you're actually just better off with an AMD platform.
And the cooler is still shit. Nobody has had their G3258 run for 24 hours at STOCK speed without throttling. STOCK. How do you think 1" of tiny fins and a 1200RPM fan is going to dissipate 50w of heat? Notebook heatpipes are more effective and they only need to dissipate 15-35w of heat.
Anybody who actually buys this platform is misinformed. The writing is on the wall. No reviewers can morally recommend this chip unless you just like the "fun" of overclocking. Beyond that, its a bad investment. An i3 platform with a more basic chipset will be faster for the same price, or less. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWhy don't you like the stock 3258 cooler? It is the same cooler that cools a Haswell i7 quad core, yet the 3258 even when OC consumes only a modest amount of extra power (see system power consumption chart on page 1 of this review). Reply
Zap - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - link"And the cooler is still shit. Nobody has had their G3258 run for 24 hours at STOCK speed without throttling. STOCK."
I see plenty of reports in the forums of people using the STOCK cooler that came with the G3258 to hit 4.5GHz running 100% load in the 60-70°C temperature range, without being super noisy either. These are first-hand reports from those who have actually tried it.
Here is one such thread:
Also, cheap non-Z motherboards can overclock this CPU:
(Thanks Computer Bottleneck for the links)
But you go believe what you want, and if you have proof please post links. Potentially there is a huge conspiracy with a bunch of people posting that the stock cooler works fine when it really doesn't. I do not discount that possibility, however unlikely. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkFWIW, On my stock cooler 4.6 Ghz open-air Prime 95 stability test (in-place large FFTs, maximum power consumption) and Battlefield 3 64 player I used Speed fan 4.49 to monitor temps. However, I did notice MSI Afterburner v3.0.1 and HWiNFO64 v4.40 were recording temps 10 to 15 C higher than Speedfan 4.49.
With that mentioned, I did not notice any throttling during my 4.6 Ghz stock cooler (open air environment) Prime 95 stability test. Nor did I see this during BF3 64 player gameplay. Reply

Hardball - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWhat type of cooling was used/is recommended in order to get a G3258 to 4.5GHz+? If you need high end air or AIO water ($80-120), it kind of runs counter to the idea of building the cheap, high performing system. Reply
Ian Cutress - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIf you cheap on everything, then it won't ever be high performing. I used a Corsair H80i for these numbers during a nice warm British summer. The best place to start for overclocking would be a cooler with at least four copper heatpipes and a decent fan, then go from there. Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkCan you run power draw numbers for this system? Starting TDP for the Pentium is 53 W, I don't think it would run much above 100-150 W overclocked. Stock Intel cooler is rated for 95W, and even your cheapest aftermarket cooler should be good for much more than that. Reply
Ian Cutress - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkSystem power draw numbers are in the overclocking chart, first page. You probably scrolled past them in order to comment :D
With my inefficient setup, it registered 93W at peak load at stock, moving up to 131W overclocked to 4.7 GHz. Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkMy bad...should have re-read. Performing some terrible math here, but if we assume 53W at stock speeds, then that's 40 W system overhead. At 131W at 4.7 GHz, approx. 93W for the CPU. On the edge for Intel's cooler, but definitely doesn't require anything that fancy to cool. An AMD A10 is around 100W TDP. And if you're willing to drop a point or two to 4.5 or 4.6 GHz, the power draw is even less. Reply
Samus - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThe stock cooler is rated at 95w for how long? Because my experience, even going back to the i7-920, is the stock cooler can't keep a chip running at default frequency/voltage for more than a few hours at full load without throttling. Those coolers were supposedly rated at 130w, just like the CPU. But as the surface area heats up across every mm of fins and the ambient case temp jumps just a few degrees, the performance dips.
Top-down coolers are a 20th century thing. Reply
smunter6 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkthe i7-920 is a 130W TDP part. The Pentium is 53W, and even when at max overclock, the total system power draw is only 131W. Totally different ball game. Reply
extide - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkAre you kidding me? ALL stock intel CPU fans will allow the cpu they come with to run at 100% load 24/7 without throttling. If you are having problems making that happen, you are doing something wrong. Reply

kaelynthedove78 - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWarning: rant ahead.
It is 2014Q3 and still, no reason to upgrade from Sandy Bidge 2600K @ 4.8Ghz, $30 air tower cooler setup to anything Intel has to offer. Load temperature is <80C after 24 hours of non-stop Linpack.
I feel so sad, Ivy Bridge was a downgrade for me, Haswell was an even hotter downgrade and now Devil's Canyon can't reach 4.8GHz even with water cooling. $500 for same performance but hotter than ever? How do these products get raving reviews?!
I need single-thread performance so more slow cores won't help me. Three and half years waiting and still nothing. AMD, VIA, anybody, please come and kick Intel in the behind so I could finally get >10% performance increase after four generations! Reply
DanNeely - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkUnless we find a successor material for Silicon, at this point I don't think it's going to happen. We appear to've hit an effective clock speed wall; and making the cores/caches themselves bigger is deep into diminishing returns. Reply
Casecutter - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThanks for this. I came away with the same deduction after reading other various articles, but those weren't as clear-cut or upfront with the findings. While nice price to start for a CPU, I think after investing in an acceptable OC'n mobo and good cooler, why? An i3 with any regular mobo and stock cooler offers better gaming, and if that's what it about Pentium AE isn't the best route. For the average entry level builds, it best to not give a kid or novice the impression that hitting 4.7Ghz isn't for the faint of heart.
I would've like to have seen and FX-6300 as that has been my go-to chip for budget Gaming builds, at $100 along with ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 bundled for around $160 from MicroCenter you can't bet against it. With most any $20-30 aftermarket cooler, I'll get a 4.5-4.7Ghz and call it good. For Gaming most every title plays better verses the i3 (say perhaps Arkham City or Shogun 2), while heading into i5 territory. Reply
Ian Cutress - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkI'm retesting some AM3 CPUs right now and have an FX-6350 being tested at this very moment. Check anandtech.com/bench in the next few days and I'll upload my results. Reply

hojnikb - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIs pentium line using the same die as i3 ?
Also, is intel planning on making more of these unlocked pentiums in the future (broadwell) or was this a one time dela ? Reply
extide - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkYes, they are the same exact dies, pretty much. If Intel did it anything like they did with ivy Bridge, then basically there are 4-6* dies for the consumer Haswell chips. These dies are used in all lines from Celeron, to Pentium and i3/5/7, desktop AND mobile chips.
*The R-series CPU's use 1 or 2 additional different dies. I know there is a 4c version, which has 6 or 8MB of L3, and GT3, and there may also be a 2c version as well, but I am not sure. Reply
extide - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkEDIT: For chips like the Celerons with 2MB of L3, they disable some of the L3 cache. Sometimes a SKU will use a 'higher'/bigger die than you would expect, with some parts disabled. It just depends on what Intel feels like doing/has more of at the time/etc. Reply
KAlmquist - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkFor an allegedly "unlocked version," the G3258 certainly has a lot of stuff locked.

I'm sure that there is more stuff that I've missed. I'd guess that Intel has made somewhere around one third of the circuitry on the chip unusable. Reply
MikeMurphy - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkNobody would be buying the more expensive i5 and i7 k-series CPUs if these weren't sufficiently impaired.
It's a good CPU for someone who was going to buy a Pentium anyways. It shouldn't be changing much in terms of purchasing decisions otherwise. Reply
OrphanageExplosion - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkMy guess is that we won't see an overclocked i3 because with 4.5GHz, hyper threading and a bit more cache, suddenly there's little need to buy a non-K i5 any more in a majority of use-case scenarios. Reply
SolarAxix - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkVery good article.
I actually bough a Pentium G3258 along with an MSI Z97 PC Mate for $99 plus tax at Microcenter.
I didn't expect anything magical from this purchase. It was easy to justify since I was getting the processor and the motherboard for less than the sale price of the motherboard which sells for $109.99.
I can see this being a great machine to surf the web and to do some Steam In-Home Streaming. Even OC to 4.5/4.6, it doesn't use much in electricity when it idles plus I got to upgrade my current low-end system with this new system. It has USB 3 and SATA 3 ports and a newer audio codec. Overall for me, it was a no-brainer. If it was more than $100, then I am not sure if I would made the jump or not.
If you are lucky enough to be close to a Microcenter, then this is a great deal for a low-end spare PC to play with.

SolarAxix - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkOn a side note, I will probably be buying another one (or I should say my parents will be getting another one since it's one per household) to upgrade my parents' PC. They've had an i3 530 for about 4 years. It's starting to a bit "slow" for them when they browse some of the newer websites. For $100 plus tax at Microcenter, this would be a nice upgrade for them. It should burn a bit less power, it has a better iGPU, and comes with USB 3. Since they have an external USB 3 HD and flash drives, it will certainly be a benefit to them since they do copy GBs of data back and forth and always ask me if there's a way to make it faster.
Since I'm the one that's taking care of their PC remotely, I don't have an issue with OC a bit and keeping an eye on it.
The bottom line is that for their use-case, I think it's a great step up for a low price. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkSince the Nehalem architecture still allows for bckl overclocking, I would try that first. When I had my i3-530 HTPC I ran it at 4.6GHz stable with a cheap tower heatsink (15€). Reply
mapesdhs - Friday, July 25, 2014 - link
Indeed, though that old i3 is Clarkdale btw, not Nehalem. But yes, I have an i3 550 @ 4.7;
on a better board it'd probably do 5+.

Computer Bottleneck - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThanks for the review.
I am just disappointed you didn't test with a 3MB Core i3 (like the $125 i3-4130 or the $130 i3-4150). These are also the processors commonly found in Pre-built PCs which the Pentium G3258 will likely be compared against.

JackTheBear - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkPeople keep mentioning the Celeron 300A. This is nothing like a Celeron 300A. Overclocked, the 300A was nearly indistinguishable from the top of the line processor, the PII-450. You overclock this chip and it's still a low end piece of (equipment). When you can overclock a Celeron and have it match an i7, then you can compare it to the Celeron 300A. Reply

Computer Bottleneck - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkAlso the price difference in the United States (going by Newegg, Amazon, and Tiger direct prices) is a good deal more than the $45 you mentioned in your article:

$75 at Newegg
$69 at Amazon
$75 at Tiger Direct
Core i3-4330:
$140 at Newegg
$137 at Amazon

Using the two Amazon prices for comparison, the price spread between Core i3-4330 and Pentium G3258 is $70. (Comparing Newegg and Tiger Direct prices, the gap only narrows to $65) Reply

HangFire - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThe E2160 was Core 2 architecture, but it wasn't a "Core 2 Duo E2160". It was Pentium-branded with no Level 3 cache and a very small Level 2 cache.
I had the E2180 and overclocked the snot out of it for over a year until I ponied up the bucks for a quad core. It could play any game of the time on "High" competently except for some micro-stutters. I attribute that to the lack of a big CPU L2/L3 cache, not to mention the old-style FSB memory interface.

Concillian - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkstock speed i3 beats a massively OC'ed dual core. The multi core scaling era really is here. i3 is cheaper if you consider the whole system (non-OC mobo easily offsets the CPU cost, no need for a massive cooler on a stock clock, etc..) and performs better in almost every scenario...
This leads me to one conclusion. Intel is banking on people making a dumb decision and buying this just because it's OCable.
As the article says, an i3-K CPU would be ideal. However, Intel is too smart to release one. They know it will eat into the margins that it's enjoyed by positioning it's offerings so people feel compelled to buy an i5-K or i7-K . Reply

OR IF Intel did release one, it would be (over)priced to be so close to an i5 that you wouldn't bother with the "risk" of clocking one.

jamescox - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkI don't think I would recommend one of these to anyone for a low-end gaming machine. With DX12 being able to take better advantage of multiple threads, the low-end for gaming probably should be 4 threads. With xbox one and ps4 both using a low single thread performance, 8 thread cpu, I would expect to see a lot more optimization aimed at 4 to 8 threads. I doubt these low-end chips have sufficient caches and other resources to effectively support multi-threading. I wonder if turning on vector extensions would use too much cache also. The vector extensions should be getting less use anyway, since almost anything that could make good use of the vector extensions would run faster on a gpu. Reply

deV14nt - Saturday, October 25, 2014 - linkI'm late to the party but I don't care. I got this as a combo with an ECS Z97 PK for $100. Makes sense to me, because I was upgrading a Core 2 Duo E6600 build and I didn't want to spend double on DDR2 when I could just get a new board with just a small investment that could later get anything up to a current i7 later on. $100 + $70 for a single 8GB stick of RAM so I can add another one of those later, with 32GB total possible. That's a good investment in a modern platform. Paired it with a 750 Ti for another hundred. Probably could have gone higher on that, but the deals just weren't there. Reply
gruffi - Friday, November 28, 2014 - linkThe comparison table is completely flawed. If you compare A vs B and get +X% it doesn't mean you get -X% if you compare B vs A. You actually get 100/(1+X/100)-100 percent for B vs A.
For example, with 3DPM-ST (-25%) and 3DPM-MT (+33%) you get an average of +4% in favor of the i3. Which is not correct. -25% for the i3 means +33% for the Pentium in 3DPM-ST. Which basically nullifies the advantage of the i3 in 3DPM-MT. So, an average of 0% would be correct in these two tests, not 4%.
I don't know why the author can make such simple mistakes. This is not professional. Reply

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Dell ( DELL) shares climbed more than 5% before market open Friday following a media report that the tech giant's nearing a buyout deal. The No. 3 PC maker is nearing an agreement to sell itself to a buyout consortium led by CEO Michael Dell and private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners, according to Reuters. The Dell chief is expected to take a majority ownership in the company, with Silver Lake and Microsoft becoming minority investors, according to Reuters, citing a person familiar with the deal. Dell and Microsoft declined to provide comment on this story when contacted by TheStreet. Shares of Dell climbed 5.74% to $14 before market open on Friday. The Round Rock, Texas-based firm was also the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 1,268,470. Microsoft ( MSFT) gained 0.51% to reach $27.59. Research In Motion ( RIMM), which unveiled its BlackBerry 10 technology earlier this week, was another gainer, climbing 2.31% to $13.28 on share volume of 462,699. Shares of the Canadian handset maker, which also changed its name to BlackBerry this week, ended Thursday's trading session flat at $12.98. Facebook ( FB), which reported fourth-quarter results this week, crept up 0.32% to $31.08 on share volume of 502,082.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/5/2014 (1206 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Do our elected officials have an obligation to make sense?
That may seem like a nonsensical question itself. But after watching events unfold at Winnipeg City Hall this past week, it seems fair to ask whether making sense is a core competency for our municipal politicians.
Last week, a committee of councillors tasked with finding a new chief administrative officer (CAO) announced it was postponing its final decision until after the October municipal elections. As a result, Winnipeg will have gone more than a year without a top civil servant overseeing city operations.
The explanation for this delay was, in a word, nonsensical. A news release said "the time constraints of delivering a suitable candidate prior to the election" required a postponement.
This was rather remarkable, given that Mayor Sam Katz had just a day earlier said the city had received 80 applications for the job. Further, Katz said the hiring committee expected to have a short list in place in a matter of weeks. And then, a postponement.
Nobody associated with the hiring committee -- and that includes most of council -- would elaborate on its decision. So, all we're left with is a bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense.
First, consider we're already six months into the search for a new CAO. Although no one wants the committee to rush the decision and make a mistake, that is really more than long enough to find a suitable replacement.
If more than 80 applicants had come forward to this point, no one could argue the search has not been robust, or it had not returned a plethora of possibilities.
It is true the city was caught a bit off guard by the resignation of former CAO Phil Sheegl last October. Sheegl left his post suddenly, just before a damning audit of the fire and paramedic station controversy.
That audit found Sheegl was chiefly responsible for a decision to award no-bid contracts for the construction of new stations and to swap land with a private developer at a huge loss for the city. Rather than face the wrath of council, Sheegl got out while the getting was good.
It also deserves to be said municipal governments rarely practise formal succession planning for a job like this. If a top bureaucrat is nearing retirement, steps will be taken to groom a replacement in seamless fashion. If someone leaves suddenly, as was the case here, the process of finding a suitable replacement will take longer.
But a year or more? In the private sector, it's not unusual to see a search for a senior executive position stretch from four to six months. And it's certainly not unheard of for those searches to take longer if the right person simply isn't available.
It deserves to be noted the city has traditionally been very pokey about replacing its top bureaucrat.
It took eight months for the city to hire Sheegl after his predecessor, Glen Laubenstein, resigned suddenly in September 2010 to take a job in Fort McMurray, Alta. In fact, this time around, the formal hiring search did not begin until January 2011, four months after the job became vacant. However, once a search committee was struck, it took only four months to make a decision.
Prior to that, it took just five months to hire Laubenstein after his predecessor, Annita Stenning, left the CAO post.
By a process of elimination, you can see this decision is not based on a lack of qualified candidates or a flawed search process. This is, at some level, about politics. And pretty small-minded politics at that.
Some at city hall believe the committee wanted to prevent Katz from manipulating the hiring process, as it appears he did with the Sheegl hiring. Katz denied taking any active role in helping Sheegl, his lifelong friend and business associate, secure the job.
In fact, it was later learned he lobbied members of executive policy committee to approve Sheegl. The hard feelings from that process, exacerbated by the mess Sheegl left behind when he abruptly resigned, seem to have infected this current process.
Katz has not confirmed whether he will run in October. A working theory among some who are close to the process is the committee wants to punish Katz for the Sheegl hiring by delaying it until this fall's civic elections are complete. Possibly as a rebuke, or to ensure if he doesn't run, or runs and loses, he doesn't get an opportunity to manipulate the process again.
If that's true, then the hiring-committee members have decided to put petty internal politics ahead of the best interests of the citizens of Winnipeg.
This is not a job that can be left unfilled for a year. The CAO not only oversees all areas of city operations, he or she is the chief executive for all city employees. A smart, talented CAO is absolutely necessary for this city to function efficiently and effectively.
When you consider all that, it makes perfect sense to hire a new CAO as soon as possible.
And delaying the hire is nothing more than nonsense.

tzhu07 - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkDo these industrial designers have any taste at all?
That thing looks like crap. So tacky looking and lacking any kind of grace.
If there was a Razzie award for industrial design, this thing would be nominated for sure. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkExactly! Why is it SO ridiculously hard to find cases in this category that actually look good? And not like they've just got a load of ugly random plastic parts and glued them all together?
I mean just look at the first pic on page 1, thats one seriously ugly case, but almost all cases like this look just as bad (or close anyway) and cheap/home-made looking.
For a long time i've been looking for a case with good cooling, loads of space and features and theres such extremely little choice as 99% of them look like cheap tacky shit even when they cost hundreds. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI feel like a lot of case manufacturers are trying to solve non-existent problems... While ignoring the real issues. CPU heat output hasn't increased all that much over the last ten years, the latest HSF tower designs have largely kept up with the demand and other components have become much more efficient (PSU, HDD, SSD, larger fans, etc.)... The one outlier is the GPU(s).
Silverstone's internal design does address that to an extent, but I think they're over-complicating matters. The tried and tested ATX design of old still works wonders, especially if manufacturers stop insisting on throwing in so many useless drive bays that the majority of people just aren't using (5.25" particularly).
People with multiple GPUs aren't usually running a server or a RAID 5 array inside the same rig... Cases don't need to be huge to cope with multiple video cards, just deep. Take any mid-range case that allows you flexible placement of 120mm fans across the front bays and line up those fans so that they each push air directly past the CPU and GPU independently and you don't even need discrete thermal zones, because the airflow creates it.
As far as external design... It's a crying shame Silver stone has forgotten their CM ATSC roots, the understated design of those old AL cases would still sell like hotcakes today imo. Corsair understands that to an extent, tho I think they could go even cleaner. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI disagree with the many drive bays thing - I think it's very useful to fit as many internal 3.5" bays as you can - I have an Antec P182 and I'm running 9 drives - an SSD that I cable tied in, and 8 3.5" hard drives (no optical drive).
However, we live in a world where CPU cooling issues can be fixed with something like a Noctua NH-D14, and will be almost silent under any condition, as long as you put a 120mm fan in line to exhaust the heat, that problem is solved, so I completely agree with the GPU cooling issue, since that's the thing that will cause the most heat and noise inside a case. Reply
The0ne - Monday, July 25, 2011 - linkYep, I like having as man internal drive bays as I can for my main computer. But recently, with USB3.0 and such I've started to lighten up as more devices comes out to make use of it. This is because for the most part most of the HDD are storing data, backups, movies, music and TV shows. Still, it is very convenient to have all the drives in one case and at full speed.
This case is not attractive. Reply
EnzoFX - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkAgreed. I too would like a compelling reason to upgrade. I think a layout re-design would be great, and easy for them to do, yet they waste all their time into ugly exteriors and features no one really cares about.
How about something with positive air pressure? (Yeah this and other cases do, but most are negative). Get rid of all those 5.25 bays! Fine if you need one, keep one, but make the ones you do put on there have a secondary function, and not just it be wasted space. I also dislike when they add features that other people may add through 3rd party manufacturers, like card-readers, etc. but they are no more better integrated than theirs. If it's coming direct from the case manufacturer, how about integrating it so that it isn't wasted space, or a mess of wires to handle, etc. Reply
SamVimes - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkRight,
at the moment most of the cases can be classified into the two main looks, the KITT (Knight Rider) look (with moving lights on the front) and the Transformers look.
When I see the RV03 I'm afraid of pushing the wrong button, not booting my machine but making it convert into a robot, ...
FT02 wft!
sam Reply
gramboh - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkChiming in to agree with you here. The FT02 is a nice, subtle, high quality looking enclosure. Excited for a new product from Silverstone, I took one look at the first picture of this thing and didn't even bother reading the review.
There is a big segment within the enthusiast sector that wants high quality materials, sleek, understated looking cases like the Antec P180/182/183, FT02, Corsair 650D etc. Personally I prefer an option for a window-less side panel as well.
I get there is still a bling contingent who like the hideous stuff that Thermaltake and others put out. Reply
Zoeff - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI don't understand the reason why this case exists when you can get the RV02-E if you pay 10 more euros. (This case is mostly identical to the FT-02 that the reviewer mentions)
This is what I did and many of the flaws of this case don't exist. The mechanical HDD's are properly cooled by a 180mm fan, the PSU length is of no concern and the design is much more simplistic which would appeal to a wider audience. How a case looks like isn't usually what makes or breaks a decision for me but that's just too flashy for me. Reply
V3ctorPT - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkSorry man... I have an FT02WRi and it's a beautiful case, it's not like this ugly case.
It's not even close to this RV03 Reply
Zoeff - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkThe FT02 was actually my first choice but that actually costs about 90 euros more than the RV03. So I went for the RV02-E which only costs 10 euros more than the RV03. Reply
HanSolo71 - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkDustin first off I have been loving your recent work keep up the great work.
Secondly as a reviewer myself I have to agree about the type of noise these cases give off. I have found that it isn't so much of a winny noise that other cases have but rather a low wooshing noise that sounds much like the noise that the ventilation system in a building would give off. Also I would have to agree that while the RV02 was far from subtle the RV03 went in the wrong direction. Personal I love the Apple-esque design of the TF02 and was hoping more of its design would rub off on the new RV03 design.
Still with all of its faults I love the RV02 as it is great to work with and keeps my 4.7Ghz i5 2500k nice and cool. Reply
7amood - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI wanted a trusted review for the RV03 and I finally got it from a trusted site.
I'm missing a review for the RV02-E.
You might wanna review the SG08 when it comes out, it's a nice one.
Thanks Reply
beginner99 - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - link..the fractal define R3 case. It has tons of 3.5 bays (and only 2 5.25), more than enough possibilities for mounting fans and a simple, straight forward design. ( I have the R2)
It is also small compared to monsters like the Ravens or FT. Only complaint i have is space behind mobo tray and the side panel mounting but maybe that was improved in the R3. Reply
AssBall - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkGreat review, Dustin.
The killer for me on this case is having the I/O come out of the top. It is a cool idea, but I put too much junk on the top of my cases; I need em to be flat for the extra shelf room. Their nontraditional approach to cooling makes me a little weary too. The thing looks pretty nice though. Reply
Footman36 - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI just got rid of this case. I gave it to my father in law. It now houses a very simple i920 at stock with stock cooler and 5670 with Artic Cooling HSF.
I previously owned the RV-02 which was an Epic Fail, burnt out an X58 motherboard around the IO area as there was not enough air flow to cool the VRM's positioned there.
Anyhow, decided to try the RV-03. (I also own the Thermaltake Level 10 GT and the CM HAF-X).
Not a good idea, first of all the design is terrible, from the lousy magnetic dust filters that either vibrate or fall off if you blow on them, to the abysmal design of the hard drive cages!!!
The icing on the cake is this type of design does not work with certain heat pipe coolers. For example my pair of GTX 560 Ti's would run full load at 68C in the HAF-X, but in the RV-03 they hit 94C before shutting down the computer (and this was after 10 minutes of BF2).... This is by far one of the loudest cases I have owned at full speed.....
Avoid like a plague....
While i like the idea of this design it is not as efficient as standard cases with the motherboard in the usual position.... Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkI'm not sure your complaints are entirely fair.
First, just looking at the airflow in the RV03 vs. the more traditional cases I have on hand, I don't really see how the inverted motherboard layout and airflow design starves the VRMs any more than a traditional layout would.
Second, SilverStone even says as much that these enclosures aren't going to be at their best with heatpipe based GPU coolers that don't exhaust out the back of the case; SilverStone's design is really geared towards the blower-style coolers that higher end graphics cards tend to ship with stock, and from our testing it does handle those with aplomb.
It's true the RV03 is pretty loud at full speed, but it also doesn't NEED to be run at full speed.
The rotated board kind of changes the game a bit. In some situations it's not going to seem quite as efficient as a traditional orientation, but once we went into the overclocked configuration I think it proved itself. Reply
Footman36 - Thursday, July 21, 2011 - linkReviewing a case is not the same as living with a case 24/7. I have many months of experience with the RV-02 and RV-03 Dustin. I agree with your review on many levels but feel that there are inherent issues with this case, notwithstanding the 90 degree turnaround of the motherboard.
First of all the two front mounted drive cages are the worst designed drive cages I have ever had the misfortune of working with. They need to be completely disassembled before a drive can be placed within. This takes a considerable amount of time and if you want to add an extra HHD or SSD after the fact you have to disassemble again.
The bottom dust filters do not stay in place and vibrate if they are even 1mm out of place, what a terrible idea compared to the dust filter design of the RV-02.
Finally airflow, while Silverstone may indicate in their manual that the RV03 may not be suitable for certain heat pipe coolers or GPU's I wonder how many purchasers will have access to this information BEFORE they buy the case? Hot air rises, as we all know and in an atx case the IO plate is not the top of the computer, there is usually space above for a power supply or top mounted fan, so hot air does not accumulate around this point. In the RV-02 and RV-03, the IO plate is the uppermost point in this case and as it is solid, the hot air remains around this area in a pocket, heating up the VRM's which again dump more heat in to this localized area. I guarantee you that after running for 3-6 hours you will find the IO plate extremely hot and this is ultimately what caused a VRM to burn out on my X58 motherboard according to the report from their support team.
I am a enthusiast and this year alone I have purchased approximately 15 or so cases for my builds including Silverstone, Coolermaster, Antec, Lian-Li and NZXT....
In any event, this case is performing well for my father in law who likes the top IO ports as he does not have to pull the PC out of position when he wants to connect a peripheral, also I used the solid i920 stock HSF and the 5670 has solid HSF, the hard drive was mounted on the backside of the case and the fans are running at low. I just believe that there are better cases available for less, the CM 690 springs to mind for one.....
Looking forward to your next review. Reply
MagicPants - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkOne thing I'd really like to see in case reviews is just how much you can jam into the thing. Most of the stats relayed in the article are things I can pick up from reading documentation, or opinions on the looks and build quality.
What I really want to know is how many video cards can I jam in into the thing, will the cooling still work well, and will there be enough room left over for a sound card.
I'd like to see an sli/crossfire system with a soundcard, and a pci-xpress interface ssd. Single video card only installations in case reviews are next to useless. Please review how well each case will work in (and limit) the type of system it is meant for.
Most case reviews (on this and every other mainstream site) are the equivalent of testing the newest video card with only WoW, or testing a race car by driving to the store. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkIn terms of physical space, we do at least tell you how much stuff you can theoretically cram into the enclosure. Beyond that I think you're being unreasonable.
Getting the hardware to do the kind of testing you're asking for isn't impossible, but it's not really practical either. Having done enough of these tests at this point, I already feel like our overclocked rig is pushing it in terms of just noise.
Also, understand that while multi-GPU subsystems aren't as uncommon as they used to be, they're still far from being the norm, and a good single GPU system is often still going to be preferable to a dual or multi-GPU configuration. The soundcard and PCIe SSD you're suggesting aren't actually going to really change test results either, they may increase the case's ambient temperature by a degree or two at most.
And then, let's say we move over to a dual-GPU configuration. Which cards? Do we use a board with ample spacing between the two PCIe x16 slots or sandwich the cards together to see if the case can handle that kind of load? Do we use cards with blower-style coolers or coolers that exhaust heat back into the case?
Honestly I think you're selling the testing short. Off the top of my head, just from looking at documentation, I'd've thought the Raven would've murdered the competition, but instead its lead is nowhere near as comfortable as I expected and hoped. Reply
Ananke - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - linkThis is one ugly piece of cheap looking plastic. $19 including all fans shall be the maximum paid, before discounts. Reply
Totally - Friday, July 22, 2011 - linkIsn't the Raven a scavenger and not a bird of prey? Reply
The0ne - Monday, July 25, 2011 - linkThey are both. I hate them so much. Reply
AEternal1 - Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - linkI've always made my own case contraptions for my computers, because i run insane configurations, and ive yet to find a case that can keep up to my expectations. this is the first case ive bought that i still use.
I run my I5 2500K @ 4.8 and my gtx 560 TI @ 1ghz. needless to say, heat is always very hard for me to dissipate in a case, especially since I prefer big air over big water.
I've got nearly every fan option running in this case, I spent about 120$ for extra fans to fit, since most of my extra fans were smaller.
I mounted all 4 of my mechanical hard drives in the back tray, and with this case's thermal design, they all run cooler than they ever did in my open air cases that ive built.
my cpu runs at 40* to 55* with a noctua nh d-14. with the thermal layout i was able to implement with all the fan layouts i had available to me, i can actually put my hands in the case, and one hand will feel cool air, and the other will feel the warm air. thats pretty awesome. i have my cpu air being pushed onto the backs of my graphics card to help cool the backside of them, as opposed to venting the cpu straight up and out. with this cases bottom fans, and then the added fans, it takes all the heat from this area and diverts it perfectly. my graphics cards finally run cooler than in an open air solution, and my cpu stays just as cool as always.
the end result is that this is the first case to actually out perform an open air solution. Reply

Student Teaching
Goals of Student Teaching
Student teaching is the culminating experience in a student's preparation to become a teacher. However, we expect that our program graduates will never finish developing and growing as teachers, so it is also a beginning.
The purpose of student teaching is to provide a safe and supervised environment in which the student teacher slowly assumes more and more teaching duties until he/she is responsible for the entire day. We would like student teachers to teach full days for 4-5 weeks, if possible, so that they get a real feel for what teaching is like and experience the classroom after the effects of being new have worn off. We do want to ease students in gradually, but we also believe that student teachers will benefit from having as much experience as possible.
Student teaching is an important time in the development of a teacher. In the Department of Education at Grinnell College we, who supervise student teachers, want to provide them and their cooperating teacher with the necessary support during this exciting but sometimes exhausting time.
Placements and Expectations
Most students will do their student teaching in Grinnell or nearby communities. Schools where we make placements represent a good cross-section of types of experiences and some of our schools serve ethnically diverse populations. Placements are made in consultation with the student, and we try to consider the students' needs, strengths, and future plans when we make a placement.
We want students to view student teaching as an entry to the profession, not a college course. This new profession includes a number of responsibilities, and the extent to which students take them seriously will contribute to a positive student teaching experience. Student teachers should understand that all responsibilities and policies that apply to regularly employed teachers apply to them as well.
In that vein, student teaching is a full time job. The expectations are the same for student teachers as for teachers in terms of a forty-hour workweek with additional meetings after school and frequent lesson planning and paper checking in the evenings. Student teachers should expect that planning would take much more time during student teaching and the first year of a job than it will in subsequent years.
Student Teaching Application Process
Students will NOT be automatically placed in student teaching if they complete the required courses. Students must apply to student teach. Application forms will be sent to all program students who complete the necessary courses.
The application is due the second Friday in February prior to your student teaching.
The Teacher Education Committee will review your application and send you a letter confirming your acceptance in late April. The requirements for student teaching are listed below so you can see what personal qualities and skills you need to develop and demonstrate during your undergraduate Teacher Education Program.
Overview of Requirements for Student Teaching
- Ability to work constructively with students, demonstrated by successful completion of field experiences and cooperating teachers' evaluation.
- Sufficient mastery of the discipline(s) for which licensure is sought.
- Strong liberal arts education background.
- A basic knowledge of education theory, history, and practice including an understanding of the interdependence of education and society and the importance of individual identity in teaching and learning.
- Students must demonstrate a commitment to equity and knowledge of theories of development and learning.
- Skills in preparing and teaching lessons in accordance with principles learned in core and methods courses.
- Good communication skills and the ability to establish constructive relationships.
Performance Assessment and Feedback
In addition to your core course grades, you will have evaluations from the practicing teachers you work with during your field experiences and substantial feedback from the instructors of your methods courses. Each semester during pre-registration, you and your adviser will discuss your progress in the performance assessment system, your College BASE scores, field experience evaluations, GPA requirements, and any other concerns that you or your education faculty have. You will receive timely feedback and your adviser will help you make specific plans to address any areas of concern.
Education internships
Students interested in education can participate in school-based internships or internships that introduce one to the policy/administrative aspects of education. In recent years, students have conducted internships in curricular reform, after-school programs, drop-out prevention, museum education and place-based pedagogy. If you are interested in an education focused internship, you should contact either an education department faculty member or someone in the Career Development Office to discuss your ideas.
Research Assistants
The Education Department occasionally hires students to assist faculty with their work. For more information, please contact Ashley Schaefer.

Editor's Note: Before we get to Authorben's excellent essay on the Rangers' summer, voting for Sally's Third Sometimes-annual Paul Mara Playoff Beard Competition begins today at http://zetterburger.com.
So stop by and vote. Or else.
By Authorben
It was quite a season for the 2011 – 2012 New York Rangers.
It opened with an extended European vacation and a long road trip across North America and back. It brought us a wonderful Winter Classic win against the dreaded Orange Crud. It included 51 regular-season wins. It totaled up to 109 points.
It tantalized us with two game sevens and 20 play-on games in all.
And then…
It ended in devilish disappointment.
Not only for the players, coaches and management. But for us, the fans.
We wanted more. We wanted nirvana. We wanted the Cup. But alas, the memories of '94 will have to do — for now.
The Broadway Boys had a remarkable run. However, there's much to be done in order for them to hoist the Holy Grail once again.
So without further adieu, here are seven key questions to think about during the off-season. Perhaps the answers could help lead the Rangers to the top of the mountain.
Highway 61 revisited? — Not only is the title of a legendary Bob Dylan album — it also happens to be Rick Nash's uniform number. Will the Rangers turn to Columbus again, to try and pry the prototypical power forward to Broadway? And if so, who will go the other way? The differences between Nash and Blue Jackets management seem to be irreconcilable at this point. And now with Marian Gaborik on the shelf with a bum shoulder until at least November, the glaring need for more goals glares even brighter.
How many zeroes for Zach? At the stroke of midnight on July 1, Devils forward Zach Parise becomes the most sought-after player on the market. The Captain of his team. A player in his prime who may lift Lord Stanley's Cup in the next two weeks. And he wouldn't cost the Rangers a single, solitary asset from their roster. I know he's a tremendous talent and would seem to fit ideally into the Torts style of play. But is he really worth all the dough and all the years that Mr. Sather would have to throw his way?
Plus, think about this — what would it tell you about the Captain of a team playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, if he were to leave that team — the only team he's ever played for in the NHL, to sign with that team's arch rival? Would it be just for the money, or because he really wants to be a Ranger?
Not only that, does it matter that Captain Zach wouldn't even get a letter on his jersey? The Rangers room is already being run by Captain Callahan, as well as Brad Richards, Marc Staal and Dan Girardi. How would Parise ultimately react to that? And we don't have to look any further than Bruce Driver, Bobby Holik and Scott Gomez to see how New Jersey claim jumpers have done at MSG. Any of youse skeptical about J.P.'s son skating on Broadway?
Who are the Ultimately Fantastic Additions (UFAs)?
The Rangers core is young and strong. But reinforcements are needed to reach the promised land. And they may need to come from outside the organization. Aside from Captain Zach, here's a list of UFAs (their ages included) for you to ponder:
Paul Gaustad, 30 — The big center would be an ideal fit on the fourth line, a monster on faceoffs and would certainly help add to the growl and grit. Players like this don't come on the market too often.
Jiri Hudler, 28 — A 25 goal, 50-point left wing raised in the Detroit Red Wings system couldn't be bad.
Jason Garrison, 27 — Scored 16 goals on the Panther D-line last year – and has a blistering shot from the point.
Dennis Wideman, 29 — Close to 50 points on the Caps blue line this season – a wicked shot from the point. Joins the rush. Would be a lot cheaper than the next guy on the list.
Ryan Suter, 27 — This do-it-all D man who would be a tremendous addition to the team. But the cost would be great.
Other UFAs for your consideration:
Chris Kelly, 31 — Solid 3rd line center — a Cup champion with the Bruins — a jack of all trades. Perhaps the Rangers look this way, if Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov or Brian Boyle are part of a deal for Rick Nash.
Zenon Konopka, 31 — Yes, that Zenon Konopka. Holy Cooke, how good is he on faceoffs? Has the hate you want in the play-ons, too.
Johan Hedberg, 39 — Perhaps the Rangers give the veteran they call Moose a shot if Marty Biron, a UFA himself, bolts Broadway for bigger bucks. Hedberg would be a solid backup to The King.
Is signing Prust a must? — Whattaya think? Brandon Prust is unquestionably one of the "glue" guys, a great teammate and superb penalty killer. Plus, the coach loves him.
What'll be on tap at the draft? — The Rangers are slated to make the 28th selection in the first round of this season's NHL Entry Draft. Can Gordie Clarke and company pull a rabbit out of their hats with a pick that low? Or will the team trade the pick as part of a package deal for Nash or another goal-getter?
How will they solve the D-lemma? — The Rangers top 4 D-man are pretty much set and one of the best groups in the entire league. But what about the third pair? Who gets the 5 and 6 spots? Tim Erixon will be given a chance to make the team. Perhaps Dylan McIlrath makes it — if he's not part of a package deal. Did Anton Stralman show enough to get another look? Was Stu Bickel's willingness enough to get an encore?
Steve Eminger? The unfortunate uncertainty of the Michael Sauer concussion situation throws a bit of a wrench into this one.
Can the Rangers perform a balancing act? — The Devils rolled four lines. The Rangers did not. The Devils advanced to the Finals. The Rangers did not. They need scoring depth throughout the lineup to help take over close games. Think about it — Games 5 and 6 in the ECF were there for the taking. The Devils were on the ropes at 3-3 in Game 5 and 2-2 in Game 6 — "bent over," as the coach said. But the Rangers didn't have enough to put the hammer down. That must change. Derek Stepan must step it up. Brandon Dubinsky — if he's still around — must rebound. Same goes for Brian Boyle. Chris Kreider will certainly help in this area. By the way, the Amazing Kreider Man has already played 14 more career play-on games and has 4 more career play-on goals than Rick Nash. Just sayin'.
Been a long time since the Rangers went this far through the gauntlet.
Now, its not just a matter of making the postseason for this franchise. Its a matter of getting to the next level, with players who will add both the requisite talent and heightened sense of desperation that are necessary to win the Stanley Cup. Going from where they were a season ago to where they are now was surely a quantum leap. But to go from where they are now, to where they want to go, is certainly going to be much tougher.
Hope you all enjoy the journey.

Has anyone else reacently noticed that the State of San Andreas is a SQUARE??? I mean, Rockstar is probably clever enough to not make an archipelago into a perfect square, even if that IS the shape of the actual map! Russelnorthrop 09:19, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
They did that because they wanted to make the most of the land. Other maps are more naturally shaped, but basically square. Also, ever noticed they tried to hide the ocean around the norther side of the map? They wanted it to not be there, without actually removing it. Ben Again (talk) 00:23, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Alessandra Ambrosio Shops and Smiles in Beverly Hills
Alessandra Ambrosio smiled as she catwalked down an LA street yesterday, wearing a hippie-inspired ensemble. She assembled a tie-dyed shirt with eclectic accessories and a pair of studded boots for the outing and alternated her hair between a stylish bun and a straight-down look. Alessandra seemed to be in the market for some new furniture, with a trip to Duxiana Luxury Bed, but she made an additional stop at a jewelry store in Beverly Hills. She was solo for yesterday's errands, but last Saturday, Alessandra hung out with her kids, Anja and Noah. Anja is already taking after her style-savvy mom as she tended to her 10-month-old baby brother wearing stripes and a hair bow during the weekend outing.

Children and Families
Social workers bring their unique skills to helping two increasingly vulnerable groups: children and families. In all, about 16% of the countrys half a million social workers work in child services while 12% work in family services.
A range of factorspoverty, homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction and child abuse and neglectmake todays families more susceptible than ever to splitting apart. In fact, less than half of Americas children live in a traditional nuclear family, according to statistics.
Fortunately, social workers have a wide array of tools to help children and families to better cope with the normal stresses of life and to deal with systemic problems such as child abuse and homelessness. Through assessment, support, counseling, resource coordination and advocacy, social workers:
- Counsel families to find better solutions to their problems;
- Place abused children in loving homes;
- Find employment and housing for homeless families;
- Help pregnant women, adoptive parents and adopted children navigate the adoption system; and,
- Help children and families make best use of the welfare system.
In all of these arenas, social workers use a systems and family-oriented approach to helping families cope. The adoption system is a good example. Social workers counsel pregnant women, conduct home studies of potential adoptive parents, find suitable matches of adoptive parents and children and help adoptive parents deal with the struggles unique to adopted children. Increasingly, they also provide post-adoption counseling to help older adoptees deal with issues of self-identity, loss and self esteem as well as medical problems that may have a genetic component.
Social workers provide a wide gamut of services in the foster-care system as well. These services are critical as the number of children in foster care continues to rise. In this arena, social workers assess at risk families to determine if a child needs placement. They evaluate potential foster homes, monitor the foster home during placement and help legal authorities and the family to determine an appropriate time to return the child to the family of origin.
A growing component of social work practice actually aims to make foster care services a thing of the past. Using a system known as family preservation services, social workers are key members of teams that work to keep families intact. Some of these interventions include helping stabilize immediate crises, maintaining and strengthening family relationships, increasing families coping skills and competencies and helping families to access useful services.
Social workers also help women and their children who are victims of domestic violence. In a typical case, a social worker at a shelter in Ann Arbor, Mich., helped a battered woman and her two sons get back on their feet. She counseled the woman one-on-one, arranged for transportation to get the boys to and from school, and helped the woman develop goals and life skills so she could afford housing and child care once she and the boys left the shelter. The social worker also helped the woman find affordable housing and helped her contact a lawyer who specialized in abuse cases. Indeed, the social worker was essential to helping the woman develop a new and healthier life for herself and her boys.

Riechers Named TPWD Coastal Fisheries Director
AUSTIN — Following an extensive nationwide search, Robin Riechers has been selected to lead the Coastal Fisheries Division at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Riechers began his career with TPWD in 1988 and has served in various roles within coastal fisheries, most recently as the Science and Policy Director.
Riechers assumes his new position Feb. 1.
"Robin brings a wealth of institutional knowledge about the key issues and challenges facing our state's coastal fisheries resources," said Carter Smith, TPWD Executive Director. "He has demonstrated strong leadership skills and the ability to bring consensus among diverse stakeholder groups."
Riechers has played key roles in coastal fisheries conservation and management during his tenure at TPWD, including development and implementation of commercial fishing limited entry programs for shrimp, crab and finfish credited with resource sustainability. On the recreational fishing side, Riechers helped develop innovative strategies for conservation and management of the state's spotted seatrout and flounder, and protection of seagrass.
"Our valuable coastal resources are under increasing pressure from a variety of environmental, developmental, and societal factors," said Ross Melinchuk, TPWD Deputy Executive Director for Natural Resources. "Robin Riechers possesses the resource knowledge, leadership skills, and strategic vision necessary to lead the Coastal Fisheries division through these challenging yet exciting times."
Riechers began his career at TPWD as an economist in the Coastal Fisheries Division where he implemented and managed the human dimension program that plays an integral part of the agency's coastal fisheries policy making today.
"When I stepped into the job here we were known as one of the best conservation resource divisions in the country and we still have that reputation today. Working with the Coastal Fisheries team I want to ensure we continue that legacy," Riechers said. "We have the finest conservation professionals in the nation and I am honored to have the opportunity to lead such a consummate group of individuals."
He has represented the department on the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council since 2000 and he served as the first ever two term chairman of the Council in 2006 and 2007.
Riechers noted the multitude of challenges facing Texas coastal resources on a regular basis, including natural impacts from storms, freezes, red tide, the ongoing issue of freshwater inflows to keep our bays healthy, and the increased demands and special interests or our users.
"As we see more pressure on the resource from a growing population, our goal is to work closely with the various user groups to ensure a healthy future for Texas coastal resources ," said Riechers. "Our challenge is to effectively manage a limited resource for the benefit of all stakeholders."
Riechers received his Masters degree from Texas A&M University.

Juice Beauty SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers
Juice Beauty SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers Reviews
Like itLike the way the two darker colors look on my lips. I like the idea of them more than the actual product though I think. They are a little to hard, but the plus side is I haven't had them melt in the sun like other chapsticks. — 9 years, 6 months agosmiley48 | 204 reviews

great lip spfthese are all natural SPF lip moisturizers. I use them primarily for the non-chemical SPF they offer, which is very effective and long lasting. works great under lip gloss. the tints are good too, but I like them better with gloss over it (and then you don't have to worry about the increase in lip cancer from glosses!) I wouldn't say they're particularly soothing like chapstick, but they do protect! Go for all natural SPF like these, it's way better for you than the chemical SPFs. — 8 years, 3 months agokeribean | 18 reviews

Just a Hint of ColorI love stains, tints etc. This one in Playful is a nice sheer wash of red and it protects lips from the sun and I found I did NOT have to apply it every house to keep lips from drying out. — 8 years, 5 months agocybelesays | 51 reviews
