I know I'm a little late and the trade is almost a week old, but I wanted to reexamine the Tigers' main Trade Deadline move. Last Saturday the Tigers acquired RHPs Doug Fister and David Pauley from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Casper Wells, Charlie Furbush, Francisco Martinez, and most likely Chance Ruffin. While none of the players that the Tigers gave up have had prolonged success in the big leagues, Fister before the move had a career line of 12-30, 3.81 ERA, and averaged over 6 IP per start. Even with only 6 wins last year, Fangraphs still has him with a 2.9 WAR. Though Pauley has not had tremendous career success, he is in the midst of a fine season. Out of the bullpen this year, he posted a 2.15 ERA with a WHIP under 1.000. Clearly the Tigers were very high on Fister, and Pauley makes a good complimentary piece. But what about the prospects Seattle received? Did the Tigers give away too much?
Casper Wells OF- Casper The Friendly Tiger was always a favorite of mine, particularly after an interaction I had with him at an Arizona Fall league Game in 2009 and I am definitely upset to see him go. Coming into this season, he was listed as the organization's 19th best prospect according to Baseball America, as well as the player in the deal who had the most big league experience. Last year in Detroit (albeit a small sample size of 99 PA) he hit .324/364/.538, and seemed poised to take over right field duties once Magglio Ordonez's tenure was complete. This season he was hitting .257/.323/.451 with 4 HR in 125. Though I am high on Casper, truly what he is what he just was- a trade chip to be packaged elsewhere.
Charlie Furbush LHP- Furbush was the other major league ready prospect in the deal, number 26 on Baseball America's list. He struck 183 minor league batters in 158 innings, and continued his K numbers in AAA Toledo this year, 61 in 54 IP. Strikeouts are obviously his forte, as his career minor league ERA of 3.74 and WHIP of 1.184 were mediocre at best. His minor league BABIP of around .300 show that if he doesn't strike them out, they don't get out. Baseball America believes his future may be out of the bullpen, so including Furbush in this trade was wise.
Francisco Martinez 3B- This is where I had to scratch my head a little bit. Martinez was placed as the number 4 prospect by BA, and at only 20 years old, he may have a very bright future in the Bigs. He appears blocked by Nick Castellanos as Detroit's future three bagger, so had he stayed, he may have become an outfielder which would have hurt his value. And trading an outfielder really isn't detrimental to a team's farm system.
Chance Ruffin RHP- It's not often that a 1st round pick gets traded just over a year after being drafted, but the Mariners may have struck gold. Number 7 by BA, they also have his slider as the best among Detroit's minor leaguers. He is major league ready as a reliever- evidenced by his cup of coffee earlier this year. He was sent down, but ready he is. Ruffin has starters stuff- a fastball that can touch 95 MPH (though more consistent at about 90 in his starting assignments) to go along with a "78-82 MPH wipeout slider" (Baseball America's Prospect Handbook). The Tigers made him a reliever to get him to Detroit quicker, but if Seattle is patient with his starting, they could have a future frontline starter.
All that being said, why did the Tigers give up so much for a 28 year old reliever and a right handed starter (which they have a surplus of)? Team control and dependability. Doug Fister cannot become a free agent until after the 2015 season. In fact he doesn't even gain his arbitration rights until after next season. He is cheap, and under control.
The unfair knock on Fister is his win-loss numbers throughout his career. Even this year before the trade he was "boasting" a 3-12 record, a .200 winning percentage. To put that in perspective, if a team had a .200 win% over the 162 game season, they would finish with around 128 losses, which would be a major league record. For Fister though, he has received 3.18 run support per game. No pitcher can be expected to win if his team doesn't score him runs. That total is the lowest in the majors; in fact the next lowest belongs to John Danks of the Chicago White Sox, and he gets 3.74 runs.
So let's look beyond the wins numbers. Fister has a career WHIP of 1.24, thanks to his low walk totals. The scouting report on Fister is that he doesn't strike anybody out (career 5.1. K/9) but he doesn't walk anybody either (career 1.85 BB/9). His first start in Detroit certainly lived up to that – 7IP, 0 BB, 0K. The Tigers were looking for a strike thrower, and with Fister they found a man who won't allow free base runners.
What I see as the selling point on Fister (besides his team control), his is dependability. As I mentioned he won't walk anyone, but he'll also give you innings. This is a man in his 2nd full big league season. In his rookie year of 2009, he posted 61.0 IP in 10 starts, and last year logged 174.0 IP in 28 starts (6.2 IP/start). This year before the trade he had 146.0 IP in 22 starts (6.6 IP/start), and after lasting 7.0 IP in his first Detroit start, he is currently on pace to surpass 200 IP, 223.0 to be precise. He is a workhorse at a very early start to his big league career. Granted he isn't some young rookie phenom- he is 27 years old, but let's say he reaches his projected stats for the 2011 and duplicates it for 2012. That would lead to a rotation of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello, and a 223.0 IP, 3.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP Doug Fister. And with those numbers, to go along with Detroit's offense, 15 wins isn't out of the question. Fister isn't expected to be an ace. But he is going to do what he does best- pitch a lot of innings and not walk anybody.
Obviously I focused mostly on Fister, but let's give David Pauley some respect too. This year in Seattle he has been a superb bullpen piece, and even garnered some All-Star consideration from me in an earlier post. Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, and Al Alburquerque are still the back end of this rotation; Pauley's acquisition didn't change that. Pauley will be expected to be a short reliever who will come in and get people out when he needs to. He also flat out does not allow the long ball. 0.3 HR/9 in Seattle- imagine what that will be in cavernous Comerica Park. 2 HR in 55.0 will certainly grab the attention of GM's. Pauley is also under team control through the middle of the decade, and if he can keep up his Seattle numbers, 2.15 ERA, 0.994 WHIP, 0.3 HR/9, then he will fit in nicely in the Big D.
Which brings us back to the original question- did the Tigers give up too much? Between Wells, Furbush, Martinez, and Ruffin, they give up 24 years of team control. But none of these players were proven to be even dependable in the major leagues. Fister and Pauley return with 10 years of control, both of whom have proven themselves at baseball's highest level. I'm not a big believer in trading away prospects, particularly ones of the caliber of Martinez and Ruffin (Wells and Furbush were merely trade chips anyway), but this time, I may have to agree. If Martinez's future truly is in the outfield, then losing him isn't quite that big of a blow. And Ruffin is a power pitcher- something the Tigers have always had a lot of. They get in return is a young, cheap workhorse entering his prime, and a solid middle reliever. Did the Tigers give up a lot? Yes. But was it too much? No. Fister is good- and will be wearing that beautiful Old English D for years to come.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team once again earned regional recognition on Tuesday as they were regionally ranked eighth in the south region according to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The first ranking came just one week ago.
The Lions, who gained eight freshman runners at the beginning of the season, have competed in three races so far this year. At the University of Tampa Early Bird Invitational, the Lions finished with a season-best 7th place finish. Their next race, which took place at the University of South Florida, featured a 9th place finish, while their most recent meet, the University of Florida Mountain Dew Invitational, saw a 14th place finish.
After two weeks of training without a formal race, the Lions will host their only home meet of the season this coming Saturday, when they race at the Saint Leo Abbey Golf Course. The race is the first home match for the Lions in five years.
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
The NCAA Division II Regional Championships will be held on Saturday, November 3 and Sunday, November 4.

Pursuing a dream
Groundbreaking moves religious retreat center closer to reality
By LARRY DEVINE
, News Editor
Sister Marie Hesed gets a hug from other sisters from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity celebrate groundbreaking for Domus Trinitatis Sanctum of Spirituality northwest of Willey. Sister Hesed has spearheaded plans for the religious retreat center.
Members of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity break ground for construction of Domus Trinitatis retreat center northwest of Willey.
August 8, 2013
Sister Marie Hesed says it was fitting that the groundbreaking for Domus Trinitatis Sanctum of Spirituality, a religious retreat center northwest of Willey, was taking place at its future entrance.
To the delight and cheers of a couple of hundred people in attendance, Sister Hesed and four fellow members of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity donned hard hats and enthusiastically turned the first shovels of dirt for Domus Trinitatis, which will be developed on 31 acres on the east side of Noble Avenue, about one-fourth mile north of 250th Street.
Sister Hesed, who has spearheaded the project, said, "It's very significant that the groundbreaking we're doing is at the entrance to Domus Trinitatis. This is the very gate here. It is very fitting because when you pass this threshold you will be walking, with God's willingness, into the heart of the Most Holy Trinity."
For Sister Hesed, the groundbreaking marked a major step toward opening the doors to Domus Trinitatis. She said the project has taken a roller-coaster route at times but nonetheless has progressed rapidly.
"I can't believe we're already at this point," she said, "because it hasn't quite been two years yet. A year ago the land was given."
Domus Trinitatis found a home when in March 2012, Leon and Donna Kennebeck donated 31 acres in the rolling hills about two miles northwest of Willey to Sister Hesed and the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity.
Domus Trinitatis will be a place where priests and nuns, as well as the general public can renew their faith. The retreat will be open to all those from Jewish and Christian faiths.
A brochure available at the groundbreaking highlights plans for Domus Trinitatis. The project will include:
A center of spirituality - Guests can renew their relationship with God through prayer, education and counsel. There will be a chapel and library of resources "for better understanding the church and better living out the faith in our current society." There will be Stations of the Cross and rosary prayer trails, meditation gardens and a water feature.
A center of retreat - At least 12 small cottages will be available for individuals and couples for stays of a weekend or longer. Guests will have the option of a directed retreat.
A center of new evangelization - The brochure says, "Come and receive the armor and tools needed to become a modern-day missionary. Be enriched with the treasures God gives to accomplish His work and help transform the culture of death into one of life, virtue, religious freedom, respect of the human person, understanding of marriage and family, etc."
A center of agriculture - There will be orchards, greenhouses and high tunnels to teach hydroponics and aquaponics food production. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about proper nutrition and health along with skills on how to preserve food for storage.
Plans call for a small barn for implements and animals.
On hand for the groundbreaking were representatives of FEH Associates Inc. Architects and Engineers of Des Moines: president Denny Sharp, project manager Don Seymour and intern Cory Sharp.
Seymour said he's worked with Sister Hesed to "turn her vision into reality." "And mostly we've come pretty close," he added.
"She wants to have a place for nuns and also priests to come," he said. "There will be a priests' residence on one side of the road (through the retreat) and a convent (for nuns) over here. ... Everything is sort of built into Mother Nature. It's built into the hillside. We tried to disturb as little as possible. We tried to make it very sustainable, very high-energy-saving, basically as sustainable and self-sufficient as it can be."
A pedestrian bridge from the area of priests' and nuns' residences will lead east to the 12 cottages, which Seymour calls "hermitages."
The hermitages will be about 400-square-feet, Seymour said, "where we have a bedroom up above because to be able to be reflective in prayer, you need to be above the ground."
He added, "The hermitages are self-sufficient in the sense that one person can go and be by himself and very reflective and contemplative. So it really will be a mini-retreat in and of itself."
With residences for priests and nuns along with the hermitages, there could be as many as 20 or 30 guests at the same time, Seymour said.
Cory Sharp said, "People can come and be a part of nature, be secluded but also be part of a larger community of people who are spiritual in their own way, trying to figure out, 'How can I rejuvenate my faith and get back to helping people?'"
FEH is not new to projects in this area. The firm worked with John and Rose Guinan, who built Santa Maria Winery in Carroll, in building the restaurant and convention center. The Guinans also have vineyards and a visitors' center in Willey and are supporting the Domus Trinitatis project. A religious retreat also is not new to FEH, which worked with the Jewish Federation on developing a central-Iowa retreat.
Seymour noted, "That was supposed to be a five-year plan, but once they had the groundbreaking and got the first section up, it exploded and they had everything completely paid for before they finished it. That was phenomenal. That just shows the faith people have."
He said the construction timeline and final appearance of the retreat are still "fluid," depending on financial support and future considerations.
Seymour called Sister Hesed "very inspirational."
Sister Hesed was one of the first sisters to join the contemplative branch of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and spent 27 years establishing new convents for the contemplative nuns. She has served in Calcutta; Tijuana, Mexico; Nairobi, Africa; Cuba; and New York.
Sister Hesed said the Lord put the idea for such a retreat in her heart nearly 50 years ago.
She recalled words of Mother Teresa that "God chooses nothingness to show his greatness."
Sister Hesed said of her Domus Trinitatis goal, "Each one of us here this evening holds in our heart a dream. We hold dreams. There's nothing wrong with dreaming. But I believe the most important thing is to commit others to share that dream. If you hold it to yourself, it becomes fruitless."
Scanning the panorama, she added, "As I look over that way I see the steeple of St. Mary's (Church) in Willey. It tells me that Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament. And it tells me that Our Lady is a mentor over each one of us in this work of God. What will it be? We don't quite know yet, because when God is in charge, we are not in charge. We have a drawing, but the end product may not be looking like that, so don't be discouraged. It will be better, because God's work is always better than man's work."
Sister Hesed said she will probably need a few pats on the back to help her during challenging times ahead.
"I count on your prayers. I count on your support. I count on your love," she said.
But it all will be worthwhile, she added.
"So when you have had a hard day, when it seems like nothing is going to work out for you guys," she said, "just drive by and look at Domus Trinitatis and be inspired. Hey, great things happen."
Deacon Ed Miller opened Tuesday's program by blessing the ground for Domus Trinitatis, which is Latin for home and the union of three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit in one Godhead. Sanctum is a sacred or holy place, a private place where one is free from intrusion.
The program's emcee, Jay Masching, said, "Through Divine Providence, Sister Marie Hesed was brought here to fulfill her dream of building this retreat center to be used by all to come together into the beauty of God's creation for a time of spiritual renewal and rejuvenation."
Masching, who grew up a couple miles northwest of the future home of Domus Trinitatis, said, "And I always thought we had a great neighborhood, but it's about to get a lot better.
"As we embark on this historical moment, it makes me think we're on this earth only a short period of time, and we must do what God asks us to do. This is the beginning of something great for our community, the beginning of something great for the Midwest and for our country. Please, continue to give your time, talent and monetary donations as we build this center of renewal for God's greater glory."

529th - Sunday, January 25, 2009 - linkThanks for the article/research. I've found this interesting. I also have a 3838A687 920 that I got on sale (229$) that I'm almost willing to lend for some overclocking results...???... but from what I make of this is that the motherboard tolerances are a bit more key to its overclockability; am i correct? Looking forward to your follow up article between the motherboards.
P.S. i7 build is not up-n-running yet, ETA 6 months, lol Reply
Rajinder Gill - Sunday, January 25, 2009 - linkHi,
Just been testing a couple of ES 965's, 3830A and yet another 3838A. The 3838 is on a par with my weaker 920 using air/water cooling. The 3830A 965, is still not as good as the 3835A 920 retail. Out of 4 CPU's, I only have on that can run tight CAS at higher BCLK. WIth the 965's it's a little moot as you can use the higher multipliers, although I still find that the 3830A (the better 965), needs waaay more Uncore voltage and even then it's nowhere near Prime stable like the 3835A 920.
Sub-zero cooling, the 965 3838 cold bugs very early, making it a poor clocker both sides of the spectrum. The 3830A 965 is a little better but I have not managed to get it stable for 3D past 4.6GHz.
eva2000 - Monday, February 09, 2009 - linkDefinitely can confirm that cpus will differ in terms of CPU VTT, tested 2x i7 920 3836A756 and CPU VTT handling differences are huge http://i4memory.com/105269-post4.html">http://i4memory.com/105269-post4.html !
i7 920 3836A756 #1
* max memtest86+ bootable bclk = 224 requiring 1.58-1.60v CPU VTT
* max super pi 32m bclk = 222bclk (without IOH/ICH voltage tweaks) & 228bclk (with IOH/ICH voltage tweaks) requiring 1.60-1.61v CPU VTT
* max CPUZ Validation = 230bclk requiring 1.60-1.63v CPU VTT
i7 920 3836A756 #2
* max memtest86+ bootable bclk = 229bclk requiring 1.40-1.48v CPU VTT
* max super pi 32m bclk = 225bclk (without IOH/ICH voltage tweaks) & ???bclk (with IOH/ICH voltage tweaks TBD) requiring 1.48-1.50v CPU VTT
* max CPUZ Validation = 231bclk requiring 1.50v CPU VTT
2nd cpu also likes vcore closer to cpu vtt for stability whereas 1st cpu didn't have such a strict requirement. Reply
DrMrLordX - Sunday, January 25, 2009 - linkThat's very interesting. Did anyone get the coldbug with Penryn-class quads? This certainly puts Phenom II in a different light since it has been demoed at 6 ghz under LN2 and 6.3 ghz under LHe2 (suicide runs only, of course). Reply
CSGLEON - Saturday, January 24, 2009 - linki know this might be a little off topic but....
would i be able to tell much of a differnce between a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz and a Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz? i play games and need to upgrad my cpu. but would have to upgrade everything for a i7 and spend a lot more money.
Iketh - Saturday, January 24, 2009 - linkfor the most part no Reply
aigomorla - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linki absolutley love i7 bashing.
Its funny how only a handful of people actually got it for something useful.
I used to hold the largest 4ghz yorkfield collection on this forum.
I also hold one of the most expensive h2o systems on this forum/site.
If you got an i7 because it was a FAD thing, and u had to jump the wagon, then shame on you.
If you got the i7 knowing what your getting, because u actually use the 8 threads it offers, then its a win.
Theres 2 different sides in people when it comes to computers.
1. think there just an upgraded form of a calculator.
2. think of it as art, and to tune and unlock that art, is a whole another world. Reply
Cuhulainn - Sunday, January 25, 2009 - linkI absolutley(sic) love bragging.
So impressed. Reply
marc1000 - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linksomebody already asked of them? AMD has greater expertise with the IMC, even if the cores are not as powerfull as the cores of the i7. how weel do theyr new cpu overclocks? Reply
Rosaline - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkAs I recall, the i7 940 CPUs come by default with faster uncore settings. Could this imply uncore/imc binning, and so give better overclocking performance? Reply
7Enigma - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkCould you define this (you used it on the first page to describe the mobo's). I assume it means fine/good, but other than The Simpsons, I've never heard it used before! :)
Duff man.....can't.....breath.... Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkOver here in the UK 'duff' is a slang term for 'faulty' or something that is not quite right.
It's amazing the impact a cartoon can have on regional slang..lol
strikeback03 - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkdoes "ace" mean something good? I forget if it was here or elsewhere I saw that one recently. Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkyeah 'ace' is good - to me anyway...lol Reply
7Enigma - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkWhoops should have figured out that myself. I hastily read the sentence and misunderstood. Should have been able to easily see you meant the mobo's were the cuplrit and not the CPU's. Thanks for the clarification though. :) Reply
Nimbo - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkIt is fresh in my mind the memorable article by Kris Boughton "Overclocking Intel's New 45nm QX9650: The Rules Have Changed"
Published a year ago here at Anandtech. Impressive piece of information about overclocking. I was hopping something like that when I read the title, not anecdotal information about some chips overclocking better than others. Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkKris is working on something as we speak, although current work commitments mean he is away from base for a while. It'll be worth the wait ;)
kevinmarchibald - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkAlso, the article mentions buying 940 CPUs as well. Was there less variance in overclockability, voltage needs, etc? Reply
kevinmarchibald - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkThe article mentions "DDR3-1600 at CAS6 with the upcoming kits". I just got the Foxconn Bloodrage board and I had planned to buy the Mushkin DDR-1600 CAS7 3x1GB kit. How soon before these CAS6 kits come out and who will offer them? Is the drop from 4.375 latency to 3.75 (roughly a 15 percent reduction) worth it for overclocking and real world performance? Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkI think Gary meant running the Cas 7 ddr3 2000 kits at Cas 6 1600 as a compromise to overall VTT and VDimm voltages. Personally I have not seen any real gains from running cas below 8 over 1600Mhz memory speeds when in triple channel mode on this platform. Other than Everest reporting a boost, the real world apps seem more than happy, even at cas 9 -1600 actually. Does not mean to say that it'll stop people buying the performance stuff though, just that the variability in the IMC kinda points to compromised overclocking on the lower multiplier CPU's. Reply
Doormat - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkDo I really need 2000MHz DDR3 RAM or will 1600 do if I only overclock to 3.6Ghz?
Those are the types of questions I'd like to see answered. If I've got a $750 where should I put my money? A $200 or $250 board? 1333 or 1600 RAM? Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - link1600 rated kits are probably the best bet or middle ground for decent overall performance vs cost. Triple channel 1600 speeds are more than enough to keep the i7 saturated with data. Reply
Joe Schmoe - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkI'm not really sure I got the point of the article. I just glanced at it before bed. If you are saying some chips from the same batch overclock better than others.. that has always been true. The IMC is the culprit this time instead of the cache.
I think its interesting that the X58 boards all seemed to be about equal.
Apparently, at around 350 dollars all the vendors start using the 20 cent capacitors instead of the 15 cent ones.
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkIf you look around the forums, you'll soon realize there are many people that don't or did not know, that's who the article is for really. Its actually on of the reasons I think the overclocking section should now be segregated on site from the mainstream stuff; different needs and different overall goals. Just that you have to appreciate that some are learning while others are already experienced. Reply
corporategoon - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkEvery article I've read on AnandTech lately that hasn't been written by Anand himself has been absolutely riddled with sentence fragments.
Did you guys stop proof-reading your articles, or something? It's starting to make my brain hurt. Reply
vacant78 - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkOn top of that, abbreviations jump from almost every sentence with almost none being explained (VTT, IMC,???). What happened to understendable communication? That article almost asks for a warning: "For computer journalists and tech gurus only". Shame. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkNot all articles go through the full editing process (re: me), so there are grammatical and spelling errors on occasion. Some times it's a question of timing: wait for additional editing, or just post something we feel our readers would like to hear. Reply
DigitalFreak - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkI think they let the guys at DailyTech do article proofreading. :0/ Reply
The0ne - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkAfter reading the article I would had to assume that most enthusiast at these technical levels would already have realize that manufacturing of the different parts would vary from batch to batch and sometimes within the batch itself. Having said this I'm not entirely sure if an article needs to be done about this subject if this is a known issue. I certainly expect the variances and would never expect to achieve the same result as another user.
This applies to both the technical side of each of the parts and the manufacturing of them. Reply
Rajinder Gill - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkIts range of swing we're seeing rather than the fact that- 'we've always known that batches vary'. Previous architectures have always been subject to variance, that's obvious to most. What surprised us with Core i7 thus far is that the level of voltage variance and voltage capability even on air and water cooling is far greater than anything we've seen before. Up to 0.2V applied VTT variance on the CPU's alone under 4GHz speeds is something that many have not taken into account. It's not just the variance in voltage though - it's also the maximum applied VTT the processors will boot at, some throw C1 boot code errors if you feed them too much.
Again, as with all things pertaining to information, you either already know something or don't. This article is for those that may not have known, based upon some of the letters we get there are plenty of users that did not know hence why we stuck up this piece.
Also, VTT trace loss - it's not really expected for $300+ overclocking dedicated boards to be skimping on copper to a vital signal power rail really. granted it's phase one and many companies possibly did not realize that the IMC was this power hungry when being pushed, it's worth pointing out so that perhaps we see an improvement in the future.
subflava - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkYes, overclocking is definately a case by case basis, but in general there are definately trends in batches/steppings/etc. I think the differences in the case of the i7 are worth pointing out because the magnitude of the variability seems to be much greater than with the Athlon/Core2...at least to this point in the early life of the i7. Reply
SlyNine - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkGot a Core I7 above 4ghz easly, Cannot get this Q6600 above 3.0ghz for the life of me, 3.1 is absolute tops another above crashes on boot. Reply
Aberforth - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkThe i7, DDR3 are all fictitious architectures designed to stay in the competitive market, there is no significant improvement with these in the real world scenarios, I must say all these multi-cores have very poor thread handling which is never efficient where as power saving is also a big bandwagon people like to jump on, we know Intel's been doing that power saving stuff for a long time, they are full of it. Anyway...have fun tweaking it. Reply
SlyNine - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkOn a Core I7 @3.5ghz I ripped and transcoded Transformers HD-DVD to a MP4 High Quality file 10Kbps with 5.1 AAC audio, in about 3.5hours.
Lets see your dual core do that! Reply
strikeback03 - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkI'm not really sure what you are trying to say, but if you are looking for low-power stuff I'm sure there will be more articles on nvidia's Ion platform once they get them out the door to review. Reply
Exar3342 - Thursday, January 22, 2009 - linkThat is about the most uninformed comment I have read in a long time. Have you not seen the i7 results for 3D rendering and encoding? In addition to these significant improvements, gaming and general performance has also been upped. How is a new i7 CPU at 2.66 at or above in pretty much all benchmarks over a 3.2 C2Q. Go back to your Athlon and stop complaining about things you nothing about... Reply

My only concern with the Pros is their fragility when they get thin, but I guess I'd have a year or better before I had to worry about that. Of course, if Mark were to tell me he found 2 Pro cases sitting in the back, I'd get the 1 and 4 k glass stones.

NEW parents — who travelled to India to pick up their surrogate twins — have been left stranded because of the chaos at the UK Passport Office.
Kiran and Bina Salvi, from Bolton, arrived in the Anand district of Gurjarat in March to become surrogate parents of twins Jai and Leela.
The baby boy and girl were born on March 3.
Mr and Mrs Salvi have been desperately trying for children for the last 12 years.
As their last option they used a surrogacy clinic in India after it was featured in a TV documentary.
The babies were born prematurely and weighed just one kilogramme each — just more than 2lbs each.
Both Jai and Leela are now doing well and have been awarded UK citizenship — but processing problems at the UK passport office have left the family in limbo — with no idea about when they will make it home.
The Salvis have been living in a hotel room in India, unable to venture out with their newborns because of the sweltering 45 degree temperatures.
They are now running out of money to live on and are now looking for a property to rent before the start of India's extreme rainy season.
Dad Kiran Salvi, aged 44, who is an IT specialist, said after being told everything was fine with the children's passport applications in April, they have had no updates on their status and believe they could be stuck in India until August.
He added: "Our full applications, complete with birth certificates, marriage certificates, driving licenses and everything they could possibly need were sent in and we were told on April 30 by the High Commission in New Delhi that it was all correct and was being sent to be processed in Liverpool.
"We have not had any information since then and after being told initially that these applications would take a maximum of eight weeks to process, the website now says that figure has been extended to 16 weeks."
"If that is the case, we could be here until August and then we will miss our flights, which were booked under the initial guidelines and my wife's medical visa will expire, we are also running out of money because I am not being paid anymore and we could miss our mortgage payments. The surrogacy process has been expensive and used up all of our savings."
Earlier this week, Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that up to 30,000 passport applications have been hit by delays and hundreds of extra staff have been drafted in with new offices set-up in Liverpool to help tackle the backlog.
Mr Salvi said the backlog is why his family are stuck with no information about their fate.
He added: "That is why we are not getting any feedback, I think it is delaying tactics because they won't admit they need help — to not tell us anything is a disgrace, this is not how British people should be treated."
The Salvis are of Indian descent and chose to use a surrogate clinic in the country for that reason and because they speak the local dialect.
They researched the clinic they used extensively to ensure it was of high ethical standards and somewhere where surrogate mothers are well treated.
Mr Salvi said his wife Bina, an 38-year-old accountant, is struggling with the conditions she has been forced to live in with her new babies.
He added: "Of course she is emotional — she wants to be in her own home with her new children, beginning a life — but instead she is stuck in a hotel room feeling distressed, it has been extremely tough.
The Home Office has stated that emergency travel documents for children will be issued on June 16, but Mr Salvi said he is concerned as to whether they will be accepted at Indian airports, believing that emergency passports are the only option.
The Salvis predicament was raised by Bolton West MP Julie Hilling in the House of Commons.
She was told by the minister for security and immigration, James Brokenshire, that his staff would look into the case.
Ms Hilling said: "These wonderful people, who have waited for a very long time to be parents, should be fulfilling their dreams but have been left in a horrible situation and an unsuitable environment for their new born babies.
"This has been caused by the debacle in the passport office and I will do everything I can to help get them and their babies back to Bolton."

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Now accepting faculty applications for the 2016-2017 Experience China programs!
Program staff will consist of two to three full time faculty members from the participating campuses. Each faculty member will serve for one term, or a single module within a full term.
The Director of International Education/Programs will recruit faculty participants on each campus. Applicants must submit a curriculum proposal for five courses they could teach during a semester in China. With the approval of appropriate university committees and official, the Director of International Education/Programs on each campus will recommend candidates for nomination to the Experience China faculty.
The Experience China Program is still currently accepting applications for 2016-17. Please complete the Faculty Application.
Nominations will be brought to a meeting of the ExC Advisory Committee who will select the program staff for the upcoming year. This selection process will be based primarily upon concerns for the development of a well rounded study abroad curriculum. The selection committee will decide which faculty members from the campuses will receive the China teaching assignment, and it will also decide which courses that person will teach.
Recommendations for faculty selection will be made in early spring immediately following the deadline for applications. Contracts will be finalized as soon as possible by local campus procedures (i.e., a letter of appointment from the Vice Chancellor identifying expectations).
After the foundation curriculum has been selected, the ExC Advisory Committee may recommend that the on-site staff recruit additional adjunct Chinese faculty to supplement existing course offerings.
Change (emergency) will be done by consultation with the ExC Program Director and the responsible campus.
A list of U.S. faculty-taught courses offered as part of the ExC curriculum can be found here.

I've told you guys, and most of you know, that the Rangers may only win one Stanley Cup in our lifetimes, or none, in some cases. But that in terms of doing good deeds, they're perennial champs.
Yesterday before the prospects camp scrimmage, they brought out Liam Traynor of Blauvelt, a wheelchair-bound kid who pretty much joined the Rangers family via the Garden of Dreams Foundation.
And Liam, a sled-hockey player, dropped the puck for the ceremonial start of the scrimmage, as all the players and coaches gave him an ovation.
"Oh, that is … that's a nice family," Rangers coach John Tortorella said later. "It's a family I've grown close to. And then, how the boys reacted … the thing with that stuff, that's a minute or two out of the players' time. That's a lifetime experience for a kid like that and his family. So it was terrific. It was a lot of fun. A lot of fun."
Liam stayed and watched the scrimmages with Tortorella and Adam Graves and others.

HOUSTON - A man led deputies on a chase after he carjacked a vehicle from two people waiting in the drive-through at a north Harris County Wendy's, investigators said.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said a 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman were traveling in a Chevrolet Avalanche and were waiting in line at a Wendy's drive-through on West Road about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Officials said a man walked up to the driver's side of the vehicle, grabbed the man and pulled him out of the car. As the thief pulled the man out of the vehicle, he pushed him a few times, knocking him to the ground.
The man got into the car and started to take off. Officials said the victim tried to grab the thief and pull him back out of the car. As he tried to grab the suspect, authorities said the 21-year-old man was dragged along the ground. He suffered a shoulder injury, scrapes and bruises.
Officials said the thief was able to get away with the woman in the car. He took off onto feeder road, drove toward West Road and then went westbound on Veterans Boulevard, detectives said.
Deputies were headed toward the Wendy's when they spotted the stolen Avalanche. Deputies then began chasing the vehicle.
"At 45 South, he was trying to change lanes. He lost control, hit the barrier wall and crashed out - directly in front of West Road, which was nearly the same point he started this whole aggravated robbery at," Deputy Thomas Gilliland said.
Deputies shut down both the northbound and southbound sides of the freeway.
Police told the thief to get out of the car, but officials said he didn't move. The woman then opened up the door and was able to get away unharmed.
A deputy with a K-9 approached the car and let the dog loose. Officials said the K-9 was able to enter the vehicle and bite the suspect. Other deputies approached the car and took the man into custody.
Deputies said the suspect refused to talk to them. Officials said he is facing a list of multiple felonies, including evading arrest, aggravated assault and aggravated robbery.

ONE of the region's most treasured tourist attractions features in a book designed to set the record straight about the history of the country's railways.
Chris Austin, former West Somerset Railway company chairman and now chairman of the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust, has co-authored Holding The Line: How Britain's Railways Were Saved with Richard Faulkner.
Using government archives, papers from trades unions and interviews with retired managers, they have produced an explosive account of the fluctuating fortunes of the country's rail network.
It charts a period of decline and mass closure in the 1950s and 1960s to the current situation which sees the industry thriving again, not least the West Somerset Railway.
Chris, who has been a volunteer on the line for 25 years, said: "Quite a lot of books have been written about railway closures in the past, but they are mostly just people's opinions.
"I have always had a fascination with this and we decided to produce a proper history, after carrying out proper research. We wanted to set the record straight.
"We wanted to track how from a period of decline in the '60s, it has turned around completely and is now a growing industry rather than a declining one, especially with increasing congestion on the roads.
"Lots of railways were closed to save money when people didn't think they had a future, but they clearly do and the West Somerset Railway is the perfect example.
"It is a unique contribution to the local economy, boosting tourism, providing jobs and teaching vital skills. It ticks all the boxes.
"Most people judge success by passenger numbers and with around 200,000 on this line each year, I think it is safe to see it as such.
"The main message of the book is: Never forget the lessons of history." Holding The Line will be available to buy on Monday (December 31) – for more information, visit www.ianallanpublishing.com
Chris Austin will be signing copies of the book in the Buffer Stop Shop at Minehead station today and at Bishops Lydeard station shop tomorrow (December 30), as part of the Winter Steam Festival.

  PAPI3:PAPI attach.3
From PAPIDocs
C Interface
#include <papi.h> int PAPI_attach(int EventSet, unsigned long tid ); int PAPI_detach(int EventSet );
Fortran Interface
PAPI_attach() and PAPI_detach() are wrapper functions that access PAPI_set_opt() (3) to allow PAPI to monitor performance counts on a thread other than the one currently executing. This is sometimes referred to as third party monitoring. PAPI_attach() connects the specified EventSet to the specifed thread; PAPI_detach() breaks that connection and restores the EventSet to the original executing thread.
EventSet -- an integer handle for a PAPI Event Set as created by PAPI_create_eventset (3)
tid -- a thread id as obtained from, for example, PAPI_list_threads (3) or PAPI_thread_id (3).
PAPI_ESBSTR This feature is unsupported on this substrate.
PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.
PAPI_EISRUN The event set is currently counting events.
int EventSet = PAPI_NULL; unsigned long pid; pid = fork(); if (pid <= 0) exit(1); if (PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet) != PAPI_OK) exit(1); /* Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet */ if (PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS) != PAPI_OK) exit(1); /* Attach this EventSet to the forked process */ if (PAPI_attach(EventSet, pid) != PAPI_OK) exit(1);
There are no known bugs in these functions.

Surprise, surprise.
Cam Newton is the object of more criticism – this time for something he did nearly a year ago.
According to Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com, AFC Pro Bowl players targeted the Carolina Panthers quarterback during last year's game because of how he acted during that week.
Prisco reports that several players found Newton's behavior to be "standoffish" and like a "diva."
Among Newton's alleged transgressions were "dissing" Ray Lewis and turning down one player's request for a picture and autograph for a family member.
"He was a total —-hole," one AFC player told Prisco. "Who did he think he was? He acted like the big s—. Here he was at his first game and he acted like he was the star. Guys didn't like that."
"It didn't matter who it was, he didn't care about anybody but himself," another player told Prisco.
It certainly appeared like the AFC defenders had it out for Newton, who was the only quarterback sacked in the game.
The Pro Bowl isn't designed to be a competitive, hard-fought game, but rather a fun showcase of the NFL's premier talent.
I have no idea what Cam Newton did or said to rub these players the wrong way, but it's hard to think that these "unnamed" athletes are any better.
If a player has a problem with one of their peers, they should come out and say it. Don't wait a year and then hide behind the cloak of anonymity.
One thing is for sure – Cam Newton isn't the only one that needs to grow up.Tags: Cam Newton, Carolina, Carolina Panthers, Football, NFL

By Douglas Word, THELAW.TV
Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1406, the Working Families Flexibility Act by a vote of 223-204. Republicans argued that it would give families more flexibility in the workplace, while Democrats largely opposed it on the grounds that hourly workers would lose precious overtime pay.
If enacted, the bill would amend a 75-year-old law, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), in favor of giving private sector employees who earn hourly wages the option to take comp-time instead of time-and-a-half overtime pay. Public sector employees, the GOP argued, are already afforded this opportunity thanks to a 1985 amendment to the FLSA.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.), and she applauded its passage.
"I am proud to champion the Working Families Flexibility Act on behalf of working moms and dads across the country," said Roby. "Our message to the American people is this: We want to get Washington out of the way of how you use your time.
"Talk to just about any working mom and dad and they'll tell you they need more time. They need just one more hour in the day to be able to take care of responsibilities and make life work. We can't legislate another hour in the day, but we can help working Americans better balance their time by removing unnecessary federal restrictions on comp time in the private sector."
To become eligible for comp time, an employee must have worked 1,000 hours continuously for his or her employer in the one-year period before entering into the agreement between the two parties. Also, an employee cannot accrue more than 160 hours of comp time and loses the right to earn overtime pay for each hour of time taken off from work.
If the employee does not take the comp time afforded, the employer must provide monetary compensation for the additional hours worked and time accrued. In addition, the employee has the right under the act to withdraw from the agreement at any time. In this case, the employer must provide that compensation within 30 days.
Vicki Shabo is the Director of Work and Family Programs of the non-partisan National Partnership for Women and Families. Her organization is staunchly opposed to H.R. 1406 and sees it as a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing.
"We see this as a very dangerous proposal that pretends to be something that will help working families," said Shabo. "It will take money out of worker's pockets for overtime pay that they otherwise would have received in wages and instead replace it with possibly an empty promise or a mirage of time that's out in front of them that they may never be able to take."
The bill provides safeguards against employer intimidation, threats and coercion pertaining to the employee's desire to request compensatory time off or an employer requiring a worker to request the time off in lieu of monetary compensation.
Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the House Minority Whip, also opposed this legislation on the grounds that workers might never see the benefits of the compensatory time off.
"Yes, there will be those who will volunteer who can afford to do comp time," said Hoyer. "Others will not be. So they will not be able to earn overtime, because the employer will invariably – not because they are bad people, but will invariably – go to the person that will in fact do it for free. I understand its comp time, but they won't get paid.
"Most workers at this level need the pay. They need to pay their mortgage. They need to pay their car payment. They need to send their kids to school. It would of course be cheaper to run a business if we didn't pay people at all, but it wouldn't be America."
Shabo says the bill leaves, "a lot of discretion to the employer as to when and even if to approve the request of a worker to take the time that they've already earned by working extra hours."
"Essentially, I could ask for the time off to see my daughter through surgery, take my daughter to outpatient surgery on Thursday, and my employer could say, 'No, I'll let you have time off on Friday, but I really can't let you go on Thursday, because that will unduly disrupt the operation,'" she said. "Or the employer could say, 'No, I'm sorry, this is a really bad week. I can't let you go this week. Sorry about your daughter, but good luck to her.'"
The U.S. Senate is unlikely to take the bill up, and the White House has promised a veto were it ever to reach the president's desk. Shabo said there are several other measures that Congress should work toward to help working families.
"What workers really need are proposals like the Healthy Families Act, which would allow workers to earn paid sick days that they could use to take care of themselves or a family member who is ill," said Shabo. "They need paid family and medical leave expanding on the 1993 FMLA, which has been tremendously successful in helping men and women manage the dual demands of work and family.
"Workers need higher wages. Raise the minimum wage to bring it up to historic levels. Women need fair pay, so that as they are contributing to their family's income their wages aren't unnecessarily depressed because of gender discrimination."
Shabo said Congress could adopt a number of these commonsense proposals that have broad public support, some of which have enjoyed past support from both parties.
"The Senate could do any of those things," she said. "The Paycheck Fairness Act has passed the House before. It currently has the support of every single member of the Democratic caucus. All of these policies have overwhelming support among the public across party lines. These are unnecessarily partisan issues in Congress. Real people understand, whether you are Democrat or Republican, you get sick, you have family needs, and you need public policies in place to help you and your family have greater opportunities and greater security."

When you convert PDF files to PDF/A using LiveCycle ES2, and then validate the files with a PDF validator, you receive the following error:
The embedded font program 'PZSWZL+CustomSymbol' cannot be read.
The font PZSWZL+CustomSymbol must be embedded.
Validation in LiveCycle ES2 and Acrobat 8 or 9 validates the PDF/A without errors. Validation with current validators such as Acrobat X Preflight, or 3 Heights PDF Validator produce the error above.
This issue is a problem in LiveCycle ES2 (126.96.36.199, 188.8.131.52, and 184.108.40.206) as it should also return an error that the PDF/A is invalid. This issue is fixed in LiveCycle ES3 (LC10) and later. There is a patch available for ES2 SP1 and SP2, so contact enterprise support if you require one of these patches.
Additional information
PDF 1.4 recognizes only the following cmaps for TrueType fonts:
- cmap subtable with platform ID 3 and encoding ID 1 (Microsoft Unicode, also called [3,1])
- cmap subtable with platform ID 1 and encoding 0 (Macintosh Roman, also called [1,0])
In this case, the PDF file was using a custom font CustomSymbol that contained a (3, 0) cmap subtable, which PDF 1.4 doesn't recognize. Therefore, Acrobat X and other PDF/A validators correctly reported an error when checking for PDF/A-1b compliance (As PDF/A-1b is based upon PDF 1.4).

The Crap We Missed – Monday 1.21.13
Welcome to another robust Monday edition of The Crap We Missed which admittedly starts off on a sour note (above), continues downhill from there, until finally ending in the gutter. So, sorry in advance for that. Sprinkled throughout, however, are a few bright spots, like Rutger Hauer: Dark Thief of Immortal Souls, Olivia Munn finally finding a room where she's the least obnoxious person, Orlando Bloom wearing sweatpants tailor-made for Jon Hamm, and Kim Kardashian in her happy place.

ALISO VIEJO – Wood Canyon Elementary School had its first abilities awareness day on Tuesday. Students rotated from activity to activity throughout the day, learning what it would be like to blind, have speech issues or be autistic.
In one of the activities, kids put marshmallows in their mouths to know what it's like to have a speech impediment and learn the importance of listening, according to the PTA's Facebook.
Tesoro High School student Robert Ram gave a speech about having a prosthetic leg, and Guide Dogs of America showed a companion dog to the students. The day kicked off Blue Ribbon Week, which promotes friendship and anti-bullying.

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE Closes at the Bristol Riverside Theatre, 10/17
Lust, love and horror set the stage for the opening production of Bristol Riverside Theatre's 2010-11 mainstage season with Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, running September 28-October 17. Directed by BRT Artistic Director Keith Baker, the ensemble cast features Ezra Barnes, Sean Gormley, Eileen Ward, and Debra Whitfield.
Previews begin Tuesday, September 28 with opening night on Thursday, September 30.
Performances run Tuesday through Sunday until October 17. Tickets start at $31, with discounts for students and groups. Tickets are available visiting brtstage.org or calling the BRT Box Office at 215-785-0100. Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA.
A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde takes the audience to the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London where Henry Jekyll's experiments with exotic "powders & tinctures" have brought forth his other self - Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. The two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave.
Jeffrey Hatcher's sexy and steamy drama honors the original but gives a more complex interpretation of mankind's dual relationship with good and evil.
Jeffrey Hatcher (playwright) is the author of Murderers, A Picasso, Three Viewings, and Compleat Female Stage Beauty, all of which have been performed locally. His other plays/adaptations include Scotland Road, To Fool the Eye and The Turn of the Screw. His work has been developed and produced at Manhattan Theatre Club, Primary Stages, Yale Rep, Old Globe, Guthrie, South Coast Rep., Intiman, Milwaukee Rep., The Empty Space, Denver Center, and Actors Theatre of Louisville, among others. His adaptation of Kaufman and Hart's The Fabulous Invalid premiered recently at Boston's Majestic Theatre, and he co-authored the stage version of Tuesdays with Morrie. His screenplays include Compleat Female Stage Beauty and Casanova.
Ezra Barnes (Actor 4) returns to BRT where he last appeared in Around the World in 80 Days. He has been a frequent guest at Shakespeare on the Sound and Pioneer Theatre Company. He has also been featured at Paper Mill Playhouse, Cincinnati Playhouse, Hartford Stage and The Fulton Theatre.
Sean Gormley (Actor 3) has appeared in New York in several productions at Irish Rep in Aristocrats, Yeats Project and The Devil's Disciple and regionally at Capitol Hill Arts Center, Chamber Theatre and Wooden O. Theater. He has also performed on television in the HBO film Treme and on All My Children.
Robert Ian McKenzie (Actor 2) returns to BRT where he last appeared in Forget Herostratus. In addition to frequent performances at Stageworks and Ensemble for the Romantic Century, he has appeared at the Humana Festival with Actors Theatre of Louisville, Syracuse Stage, Hangar Theatre and Wally the Dog Theater. His film credits include The Thomas Crown Affair, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and A Fish Called Wanda.
Eileen Ward (Actor 5) has starred in A Streetcar Named Desire, Waiting for Lefty, Much Ado About Nothing, Crimes of the Heart, and Guys & Dolls, all at New Harmony Theater. She has received a SALT Award nomination for The King and I at Merry Go Round and 2 Helen Hayes nominations for Hello Dolly at Toby's Theater. Local audiences will recognize her from Philemon at The Wilma Theater, and 1776 and The Secret Garden, both at Olney Theatre.
Debra Whitfield (Actor 6) makes her Philadelphia debut with this production. Regionally she has appeared in several productions at Dorset Theatre Festival where she was awarded Best Actress in Relatively Speaking and Best Supporting Actress in The Mousetrap. She has also appeared in productions at Florida Studio Theatre, Florida Stage, Virginia Stage Company, Two River Theatre Company and Emelin Theatre.
Since 1986, BRT has brought consistently acclaimed professional theatre to Bucks County and maintained a long-term commitment to finding and developing new plays. The theatre is the recipient of over 50 Barrymore Award nominations for Excellence in Theatre, given annually by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. In addition to its mainstage productions, the theatre serves as a cultural hub for the community, with such programs as children's theatre, community concerts and exhibitions of local visual arts. Currently under the direction of Artistic Director Keith Baker, Founding Director Susan D. Atkinson, and Managing Director, Amy Kaissar, BRT enters its 24th season.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1732 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- America's newest and most controversial autobahn opened this week to screeching tires, battered bumpers, and the frantic cogitating of thousands of over-caffeinated pre-dawn drivers as they confronted the most diabolically brilliant tolling system ever devised by man.
Less than six hours after the new pay-per-mile sliver of the infamous Capital Beltway opened at two o'clock on Saturday morning, two cars already had crashed after swerving to avoid the toll lanes, several teenaged motorists were in hospital with minor injuries, and numerous other drivers had errantly entered the toll lanes and then stopped and backed up -- against three lanes of 65 mph traffic in the middle of the night -- rather than glide to the nearest exit at a cost (at that hour) of all of 65 cents.
I had to go try it, on behalf of the hordes of Florida-bound Canadians who will pass through here, hell-bent for sunshine, in the weeks to come.
It was just past six in the morning on Tuesday when my 14-year-old Honda and I rusted toward the much-despised Beltway, the 101-kilometre loop-de-loop that divides the power players of the capital from the hicks of the hinterland, whom Washington insiders define as anyone who is not obsessed about who will be the next minority whip of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives.
"The Beltway is a very complicated and troubled place," Robert Redford said last week, referring to the gridlock in Congress and possibly the road itself.
(The rubrics "Inside the Beltway" and "Outside the Beltway" count for little when you are actually on the Beltway, which, by any standard, is one of the most clotted and maddening highways in North America. But, until last week, Washington's hundred-kilometre concrete noose at least was free of charge.)
Unlike Toronto's Express Toll Route 407, which allows drivers to bypass, at a prohibitively high cost, the overloaded Highway 401 across the top of the city, the Capital Beltway's new HOT (high-occupancy toll) lanes parallel the existing road. It took only five years to build them, at a cost of only $2 billion. And they only stretch for 20 kilometres, with the usual atherosclerotic clog awaiting travellers at either end.
As I drew near to the entrance to the HOT lanes, an overhead sign informed me that my toll would be $1.10 -- and then, as I watched, it leapt to $1.20. Welcome to "dynamic pricing," whereby prices rise and fall depending on how many drivers are using the toll lanes, with the charge rising -- with no upper limit -- when the lanes are busy, to discourage others from entering. (It's free at all hours if you have three or more people in your car.)
The pricing system is deviously counter-intuitive, forcing drivers who are texting on their iPhones while listening to Carly Rae Jepsen and gulping five-hour energy drinks to perform a minutes-saved-per-dollar-spent cost/benefit analysis in a matter of milliseconds while changing lanes at freeway speed in hurricanes, hail, and sleet.
Lucky for me, then, that when I explored the HOT lanes on Tuesday morning, my antediluvian heap was the only car on the un-free section of the road!
A couple of minutes of bliss later, I was barely a dollar poorer and rolling into a Beltway equipment yard on the appropriately named Gallows Road, where I met an electrician named "John Who Wants To Stay Anonymous" who had been working on the new lanes since the late 2000s.
"There's nobody on your highway!" I gasped to the hard-hatted individual. "I felt like I could drive 120 miles an hour!"
"That's how they're going to make their money," the high-wattage worker replied. "Speeding tickets."
On the other side of Gallows, gassing up for his daily crawl, I met a man named Jeff DeMerchant, who turned out to be a senior engineer at the applied physics laboratory of Johns Hopkins University. He looked down at the Beltway and deduced that the cost-free lanes were moving speedily enough for him to eschew the toll, which went back down to $1.10 while we were talking.
"You're an engineer," I noted. "Do you understand how this dynamic pricing works? Why should a road be more expensive, the more crowded it becomes?"
"Well," DeMerchant answered, "I know that that is the algorithm, but I haven't figured out how the algorithm was developed."
"But," he went on, "it's the same question I ask myself all the time -- should I pay someone to cut my grass, or do it myself? What is my time worth?"
I called the company that is managing the HOT lanes and asked a road operations manager named Rob Kerns if he thought the new tolls might discriminate against less-affluent drivers, who would find themselves jammed and fuming in the free lanes while the BMW and Mercedes crowd zoomed past and blithely paid.
"If you go to the grocery store," Kerns said, "you pay the same price for the same loaf of bread no matter who you are. But this is based on keeping the lanes moving. The Beltway had to be improved. This way, those who can afford the improvement funded it, and the lower-income people, if you will, reap the benefits."
Indeed, when a similar dynamic-pricing system was implemented in Minnesota, only about 15 per cent of drivers surveyed said that it was a bad idea, and that percentage was almost equal across all socio-economic groups.
So it is unlikely that, even in rebel-held Virginia, we are going to see protestors barricading the HOT lanes with signs that say "Give me a free transponder or give me death!"
"Let's say that the toll lanes are completely jammed," I asked Kerns. "Are you going to raise the toll through the roof to clear the highway?"
I was starting to visualize having to pay $50 to drive 20 kilometres; a looming nightmare of the coming century, no matter where on this slam-jammed planet we live and drive.
"There is an upper limit." he replied, calming my fears. "But I'm not going to divulge it."

Topic: Vomiting and heartburn?
Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with heartburn and vomiting? My dad was hospitalized today because he has been throwing up for about two weeks now. He also has very bad heart burn. They are going to do some tests on him to see if he has any blockages. He has lost so much weight and is so weak. One of his doctors said it was from radiation which he had back in March/April 2009. Any advice or questions we should be asking would be appreicated.

Bristol City have Beppe Sannino's maximum respect ahead of tonight's FA Cup third round replay and the Hornets head coach believes the competition is very important for Watford.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first tie and the winner of the replay will face a trip to free scoring Manchester City or Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round.
Sannino has emphasised the traditions of the FA Cup make it a "fascinating tournament" and, while he may make changes to the side which was beaten by Reading, he will not take the Robins lightly.
Speaking yesterday, he said: "For me everything is important. Tomorrow's match is the most important match of the season. After that then the next match is the most important. But The FA Cup is very important for us."
He continued: "I have maximum respect for them (Bristol City) because the fact we are playing a replay shows they have good quality and they are a good team."

Roark roughed up as Nats' streak ends at five
Werth, Ramos drive in Washington's only runs against Chicago
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Matt Williams decided to tinker with his lineup and drop Anthony Rendon down in the order while placing Bryce Harper second behind leadoff hitter Denard Span. It didn't work out, as the Cubs defeated the Nationals, 7-2, on Friday afternoon at Nationals Park.
The Nats' winning streak was snapped at five and their record dropped to 46-39. They are now 1 1/2 games behind the Braves -- who beat the D-backs, 5-2 -- in the National League East.
Right-hander Tanner Roark started for Washington and lasted seven innings, but he allowed four runs on nine hits. The Cubs went to work on Roark in the first inning. With runners on first and third, Anthony Rizzo hit into a double play, but Chris Coghlan was able to score.
The Nationals were able to tie the score on Jayson Werth's home run in their half of the first inning, but right-hander Jason Hammel stymied Washington most of the way. He lasted six-plus innings, allowed two runs on five hits and struck out seven hitters.
Washington had its biggest chance to score off Hammel in the fifth inning, trailing 4-1. The team had runners on first and second and no outs when Roark came to the plate. Williams never thought about pinch-hitting for his starting pitcher.
Nevertheless, Roark was ahead in the count, 3-0. He was ordered to take the next pitch, which he did for a strike. But two pitches later, Roark struck out.
"It sets up perfectly for us," Williams said. "Getting the bunt down and moving the guys to second and third with the top of the lineup coming up, we have a lot of game left. So it's a little bit early [for a pinch-hitter]. We wanted to get one -- and hopefully two -- there."
That brought up Span, who hit into a force play. Harper then struck out to end the threat.
"[Hammel] is a guy that throws three or four pitches at any given time," Span said. "It seems like he was able to wiggle out of trouble whenever we did get guys in scoring position. That was the difference in the game right there."
Hammel was upset that he was taken out of the game in the seventh in favor of Neil Ramirez, who allowed an RBI single to Wilson Ramos. Hammel threw 92 pitches in the game, but wanted to throw more than that.
"I have no idea why I came out of the game," Hammel said. "I honestly believe you learn how to pitch when you get to 100 pitches. If you're not allowed to reach that, I think that's hurting you more than helping you. So I guess it is what it is right now. But for a guy that's established and continues to work hard and prepares himself to throw late in games, deep in the games, 100 pitches shouldn't even come into question."
Meanwhile, the Cubs gave Hammel enough run support to win his eighth game of the season. Hammel drove in the go-ahead run in the second inning, when he lined a ball off the back of Roark that ricocheted into left field for a single. It sent Nate Schierholtz home and gave Chicago a 2-1 lead. After the game, Roark said he was OK and is not expected to miss his next start.
Justin Ruggiano hit a home run over the right-field wall in the third inning to give Chicago a 3-1 lead. Two innings later, Rizzo grounded out, but Coghlan scored on the play.
"[An] extra days' rest and [Roark] was a little bit up, not quite as crisp," Williams said. "They got a lot of base hits on him. He kept it to four [runs], just kind of up and middle today. Breaking ball wasn't quite as good. Changeup wasn't quite as good."
In his last two starts, both against the Cubs, Roark has allowed eight runs over 13 innings. He believes he needs to get better when it comes to pitch selection.
"I have to execute the pitches that I want and shake off whenever I want," Roark said. "Not just throw whatever the catcher is putting down. That has been the biggest thing for me."
Chicago pulled away with three insurance runs in the ninth to seal the victory against three relievers -- Ross Detwiler, Aaron Barrett and Jerry Blevins.
"It's just one game. We want to try to win every single game. But we'll come back tomorrow ready to go," Span said. "They are a hot team. They have played us well this last week. They just swept the Red Sox. We have to find a way to cool them off tomorrow."

A Fisherman's TaleRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
When telling a story
About flounder or dory,
I often end up far apart.
But when bowing your head
Or mourning your dead,
I'm together and close to your heart.
You may lend me or hold me
Or show me or fold me,
And all this is merely a start.
What am I?
HintI am many other things beside,
May one of these help you decide:
A bunch of bananas,
A measure of height,
An assistant, or
The way you write!
The first stanza and the title refer to the typical "fisherman's tale" about the "one that got away".
In the second stanza, bowing your head refers to either praying or the Asian form of greeting. The mourning reference is to "wringing one's hands".
You can "lend a hand" and "hold someone's hand". In Poker, players show their hands to find who wins or fold their hand if it is no good. The last line refers to the many other uses of the word "hand"!
The hint refers to other usages - bananas grow in hands, a horse's height is measured in hands (4 inches), an assistant may be known as a hand (e.g. stagehand), and someone's particular style of writing can be referred to as their "hand" (e.g. "leftclick has a very scrappy hand").
What Next?

Love It or Hate It? Amy Adams' Purple Floral Dress at the Oscar Nominee Luncheon
Amy Adams donned a purple floral dress from J. Mendel at the Oscar nominee luncheon yesterday. What do you think? Love it or hate it?
-Lucia Peters
The 85th Academy Awards Nomination Luncheon (or the Oscar nominee luncheon, for the less hoity-toity of us) was held yesterday, and you know what that means: Oscar luncheon fashion! Though the red carpet looks are less formal than they'll be at the actual awards show, there's still plenty to gawk at.
Case in point: Amy Adams donned a purple silk dress in an abstract floral print for the event. The dress, which is from J. Mendel's Spring 2013 collection, featured contoured piping detail at the bodice and patch pockets at the front of her hips. She paired the dress with ivory Casadei pumps and finished off her look with Armapali earrings, a coral lip, and a romantic low ponytail. What do you think, Bettys? Love it or leave it?
Read 'Beautiful Creatures,' Beautiful Style: Three Alice Englert Lookalike Ensembles
I love Amy Adams, so it kind of pains me to say this, but I'm not wild about the look. I think it might be the long sleeves combined with the neckline; either might be fine on their own, but together (and with a floral print at that), they make the whole thing look a little granny-ish. That said, though, I love the color. It looks great on her, and I think if the dress were cut differently, it would have been a fun, fresh look instead of a heavy, drinking-tea-while-sitting-on-a-couch-adorned-with-lace-doilies one.
For the curious, here's what it looked like on the runway:
And for those of you who DO love the look, you can get something similar with this little ensemble:
Mimi Chica sleeveless floral print surplice dress ($44, shop.nordstrom.com), ALLYY-L pump ($129.95, on sale for $44.99, stevemadden.com), Origins liquid lip color in Cognac ($16, beauty.com).

Back in the Day .:Mar 19 09:.
Last weekend my Wife and I met a bunch of other friends in the Gaslamp for dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. One of the couples used to jock that place, and since it reopened downtown, thought it would be a good idea to eat there. Much to their dismay, the wait was an outrageous 2.5 hours!!! Man I don't think I even waited that long to ride Space Mountain in the early 80s!!!
Before the hostess could hand us a pager, we said hell naw and quickly became Q7. I was never really impressed by that spot anyway. My coworker said she actually got seated the same night we tried-- but she had to wait in a line wrapped around the block for an hour! Forget that...
Oh yeah, I almost had a road rage episode while moving my car from the Horton parking garage to an outside spot. I was the 4th car coming out of the G st. exit, under Nordstrom and we all had green for a minute. Well this jerk and his lady were trying to cross in front of the traffic and I happened to be the car that cut them off before they could get to the other side. Dude yelled sarcastically to me "Oh yeah, go right ahead, buddy!" Now I used to work downtown so I am a huge advocate of pedestrian right of way--when appropriate. And if i was car #1 I would have happily let his ass cross. But this fool met me right in the middle of the traffic flow, thinking he was all entitled. So I just pointed hard at the Green light (index, NOT middle finger) without saying a word. I heard him mouthing off some more, but these days I just got to let that crap go. Cuz for real you don't know what kind of crazy ish peeps will do. And I sure as hell don't want my child to be a b*stard!
The next day, my Wife still had a hankering for some Spaghetti with meat sauce, so we hit up Filippi's in Little Italy which had zero wait time and great food! Price wasn't too bad, but I wish they still had 1950s prices like in the menu above...
In case you were planning to hit up OSF, you should be aware that they don't take reservations.
B-Boy Destijl, Rockin' So Fresh in SD .:Mar 19 09:.

NEWJACK HUSTLESOU NDCHECK .:Mar 19 09:.
So I met Chikara Manga of Tres Records and was able to pickup some wax
for the Fresh Crate site. One piece I picked up was NEWJACK HUSTLE
(NEWman on the Beats Shawn JACKson on the raps) I've heard some buzz
on Shawn Jackson and heard some of his stuff. When I first heard the
album I had no idea it was Shawn Jackson. In any event its probably my
favorite Shawn Jackson work. Newman's beats are dope also. My
favorite tracks are Ronald, Last Newport, Suprise and Saturday Night.
Each track is pretty dope but those are my preliminary selections.
Werd up to Chikara at Tres. Check out www.tresrecords.com for more info on the LP, the LP will be available some time next month at www.freshcrate.com. Also look out for some sample tracks on the Fresh Crate Music Samplers on the www.homegrownblends.com podcasts. BTW yo thanks Gav for the Eurolite Case you can see the record lying on it. Yo Kdeezy, Chikara said wuts up also.
