I am connecting to a device where I send it a command and it spits back bytes. The bytes make up an array of 784 16-bit values that are sent one byte at a time.
I am able to connect to the device and send the command and receive the bytes. But I'm having trouble parsing the data. Here's the code I'm using to display the numbers.
- Code: Select all
#Read some bytes
idx = 0
totalRead = 0
while( node.isOpen() ):
if (idx == 0):
b0 = node.read(1)
idx = 1
b1 = node.read(1)
if( (len(b0) != 0) or (len(b1) != 0) ):
reading = ((ord(b1) << 8) + ord(b0))
print reading
#reading = ( (b1 << 8) + b0)
totalRead = totalRead + 1
idx = 0
print ("Total Read")
print (totalRead)
The code never reaches the print ("Total Read"). I'm also open to suggestions (I welcome them with open arms) for a better way to collect data. I have the ability to create a start/stop byte if that will help. Thanks in advance.

Today we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of Julia Child's birth. Honor the queen of French cuisine by reciting Julia quotes all day long (in your best high-pitched Julia voice, of course), watching classic videos (like this one: Julia and the Chicken Sisters), browsing bloggers' best Julia dishes, making a fancy French feast and by memorizing some Julia Child trivia to recite to anyone who will listen.
Better get started. Did you know . . .
- Julia had several nicknames as a child, including "Juke," "Juju" and "Jukies."
- Julia's first job after college (she graduated from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts) was in the advertising department of the New York home furnishings company W&J Sloane. Julia transferred to the store's Los Angeles branch but was soon fired for "gross insubordination."
- When she found out that she was too tall to join the military (she was 6'2″), Julia volunteered her services to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), where she helped develop shark repellent used on underwater explosives during WWII.
- Julia's husband Paul, whom she met while working with the OSS, took her to La Couronne restaurant that started her love affair with French food when they moved to Paris for his work.
- "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" was rejected by publishers several times before being published in 1961 by Alfred Knopf, 10 years after Julia and her French collaborators Simca Beck and Louisette Bertholle began working on the book.
- When Julia and Paul moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, from Paris, they designed their home kitchen around Julia's requirements as a cook, installing taller-than-average counter-tops to suit her stature.
- Julia's first television appearance was on a show called "I've Been Reading," on a public television station in Boston. Twenty-seven viewers wrote to the station wanting to see more, and the station obliged. By the end of 1965, her show The French Chef was carried by 96 PBS stations.
- In 1993, Julia became the first woman inducted into the Culinary Institute Hall of Fame.
- Dan Aykroyd portrayed Julia in a parody of The French Chef in a famous Saturday Night Live skit.
- Julia has a rose named after her that she chose herself. The color? Warm butter gold.
How are you celebrating Julia?

In our experience with furnishing K-12 schools, we've found there are significant benefits to creating learning environments about which students and their parents feel ownership. For this reason, many schools are specifying educational furniture that helps set the school apart - and attract students. Our educational furniture can help you do just that.
American School & University designated these schools as OUTSTANDING DESIGNS. Featuring KI's Intellect Wave, Strive, and Inquire furniture, these classroom designs deliver flexibility that integrates STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) into K-12 learning.
View More
What constitutes a learning environment is changing - the "spaces" where students learn are becoming more community-driven. The right educational furniture can support the versatility needed to create these "spaces."
Many of the products in our educational furniture portfolio offer options that support the different ways of teaching and learning such as classroom tables, chairs and desks with elements of mobility to support reconfiguration. Teachers can start a class with a lecture, break them into small groups to collaborate, then have students form a large circle for a large group discussion. However, schools are more than just classrooms. They are contained communities where students socialize as well as learn. Teachers train. Administration plans. Parents volunteer. Often, the local school is the place where the community gathers for pep rallies, science fairs and PTO meetings. KI designs and manufactures educational furniture that is appealing, comfortable and supports the various uses for the school. The right furniture can make all feel welcome and support the school in its mission to demand excellence.
KI also focuses on incorporating sustainability into its furniture for education -- most KI products are GreenGuard-certified or GreenGuard-certified for Children & Schools. And this focus on sustainability does not impact the durability or comfort of KI educational furniture solutions. Our education furniture holds up to decades of rigorous use by the student body. Proper ergonomics improve comfort, which is instrumental in ensuring students stay focused and attentive. That's why KI incorporates features such as articulating chair backs, rolled-edge seat fronts and larger tablet arms into our educational furniture.
Classrooms and media centers today now incorporate new technologies such as iPod and iPad labs, WiFi connections and more. Students often have their own laptops. At KI, we anticipate technological advances and incorporate them into the design of our educational furniture. Examples include power and data ports in classroom tables, SmartLift computer tables, and integrating emerging technologies such as eCoupled wireless power. KI understands that schools need to know the educational furniture they invest in today will support the technological advancements of tomorrow.
This paper explores the many factors surrounding the prevailing quest to find the best visions for creating optimized learning spaces.
The New Media Consortium recently released its annual Horizon Reports, identifying 10 technologies that will redefine teaching and learning.

What does it mean to have an agreement?For purposes of this website, having an agreement means that you and your spouse agree on all issues in your case. For example, in a divorce case where there are children and property, having an agreement means you and your spouse agree on who will have custody, when the other parent will have parenting time, who will pay child support and how much he or she will pay, who will keep what property, and who will be responsible for paying which debts.
What does "emancipation of minor child(ren)" mean?For child support purposes, Indiana law considers a child emancipated if a court finds that the child has joined the United States armed services, has married, or is not under the care of either parent or an individual or agency approved by the court. See IC 31-16-6-6
You should use this form packet if:
For purposes of child support, Indiana law (IC 31-16-6-6) considers a child emancipated if the child:
If all of the children you have with the same parent are emancipated, you must use the Verified Petition to Terminate Child Support due to Emancipation of Minor Child(ren).
Forms are available in two formats: (1) electronic fillable, and (2) printable. If you prefer to type your answers on the computer in an easy-to-use questionnaire and then print completed forms, choose the electronic fillable packet. When you answer the questions, the forms will be filled in automatically. If you prefer to complete the forms by hand following printed instructions, choose the printable packet.
Once the packet is completed, you must print the forms, sign the forms, make copies, and take them to the Clerk of the Court. Review your local court rules to find out how many copies you will need, and any additional forms or procedures required in your county.
By law, court records are available to the public, and upon request anyone can look in almost any court file. Courts that have the ability to post court information on the Internet may post non-confidential court information on the Internet. The law also provides that certain information must remain confidential even if it is part of a court record. Such confidential information must be filed on light green paper so that everyone can easily identify it and not release it to the public. It is important that you know what information is confidential and that you submit it to the court on light green paper.
Confidential information that should be filed on green paper includes:
You must file one version of the document on white paper WITHOUT the confidential information included, and you must file another copy of the same document, but this time you have to print it on light green paper WITH the confidential information included. Before you file your court papers, review the list of information and documents that are confidential as outlined in Administrative Rule 9.
To file a copy of this packet that excludes the confidential information, you may:
Be sure you complete a Child Support Obligation Worksheet. If you do not file a completed Child Support Obligation Worksheet, the Court may not approve your Agreed Entry, and your case will be delayed. Go to http://www.in.gov/judiciary/rules/child_support/docs/csow.pdf to use the online calculator or to print blank forms.

At the Spike VGA, Bethesda's Todd Howard took the stage to announce The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. While this isn't strictly related to Fallout, it also means that Fallout 4 from Bethesda Game Studios won't be out anytime soon. However, perhaps after the success of Fallout: New Vegas Obsidian will be contracted to make another Fallout, this time maybe using Skyrim's enhanced version of the engine?
Skyrim's official release date is 11/11/11 - less than a year.
While obviously we won't be covering any future news about the game, Wikia also has a newly created Skyrim Wiki, founded by one of the users of the excellent OblivioWiki. So if you want to help make a database of all things Skyrim or read the latest news about the game, go here! You can also visit Wikia's Elder Scrolls Wiki for the whole series.

Cooperative inquiry, also known as collaborative inquiry was first proposed by John Heron in 1971 and later expanded with Peter Reason. The major idea of cooperative inquiry is to "research 'with' rather than 'on' people." It emphasizes that all active participants are fully involved in research decisions as co-researchers. Cooperative inquiry creates a research cycle among four different types of knowledge: propositional knowing (as in contemporary science), practical knowing (the knowledge that comes with actually doing what you propose), experiential knowing (the feedback we get in real time about our interaction with the larger world) and presentational knowing (the artistic rehearsal process through which we craft new practices). The research process iterates these four stages at each cycle with deepening experience and knowledge of the initial proposition, or of new propositions, at every cycle.
- Stage 1: The first reflection phase that determines topics and methods of inquiry. This phase involves primarily propositional knowing.
- Stage 2: The first action phase, usually within the group, that tests the agreed actions, records outcomes from the testing, and observes if the actions conform to the original ideas from Stage 1. This stage involves primarily practical knowing.
- Stage 3: A second action phase, usually by individuals in their everyday life outside the group, where the experiences and the consequences of one's new inquiries in action can generate profound new feelings and awarenesses. In this stage, the experiences may lead to new fields, actions and insights that depart from the original ideas. This stage involves primarily experiential knowing.
- Stage 4: The second reflection phase when, in the group, co-researchers reflect on their experiences and the data collected in Stages 2 and 3. Now they may re-frame the original ideas and amend inquiry procedures. In this stage, co-researchers also decide whether to proceed to further cycles in the inquiry processes. This stage involves primarily presentational knowing, developing new images and ways of acting. This leads back to propositional knowing, if the inquiry group decides to start a next cycle.
The following figure illustrates the four cognitive modes and stages in Cooperative Inquiry process cycle (Figure is taken from John Heron's Co-operative Inquiry, pp.56, 1996)

A firefighter took up the job because his mum thought it would be safer than his previous occupation.
Joe Martin, who lives in Thames Ditton, has served at Surbiton for 20 years, having been stationed in Kingston and Richmond before that.
He said: "I was dispatch riding and she was looking for something safer for me to do."
But even after the career change, he was not exactly out of harm's way.
Mr Martin, 50, said: "The kit was fantastically different. My uniform was a donkey jacket, plastic leggings – which did melt – and rubber gloves – which did melt – and a cork helmet.
"It was exactly the same kit as the Victorians were using."
So what made him want to keep going?
He said: "It's just habit forming.
"Every time you go out on a shout, everybody is happy to see you.
"It's a great job to do if you like helping people.
"You are basically a carer [though] some of the caring you do is at a fairly sharp end of things.
"We do much more education now than we did – I like the sound of my own voice so I quite enjoy it."
There are other perks to the job, too. Mr Martin said he has been let off by stand-up comedians after showing up late to gigs after they learned what he did for a living.
Mr Martin served his last day as a firefighter on Monday, doling out his old kit to colleagues.
He said he plans to move into property developing in his retirement.
He was handed a plaque mounted with a fireman's axe to commemorate his 30 years in the brigade.
Colleague Dan Cooper, who has known Mr Martin since he joined Surbiton 12 years ago, said: "He's a very good fireman. You get told all sorts of things at training school about how things are and what's done to recruits.
"He basically took me under his wing, he was my mentor.
"He always explained how things were done and why things were done."

- The title of this article should be cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
In cell biology, Protein kinase A (PKA) is a family of enzymes whose activity is dependent on cellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP). PKA is also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 184.108.40.206). Protein kinase A has several functions in the cell, including regulation of glycogen, sugar, and lipid metabolism.
It should be confused neither with AMP-activated protein kinase - which, although being of similar nature, may have opposite effects -[1] nor with cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), nor with the acid dissociation constant pKa.
Each PKA is a holoenzyme that consists of a regulatory subunit dimer, with each regulatory subunit being bound to a catalytic subunit. Under low levels of cAMP, the holoenzyme remains intact and is catalytically inactive. When the concentration of cAMP rises (e.g., activation of adenylate cyclases by G protein-coupled receptors coupled to Gs, inhibition of phosphodiesterases that degrade cAMP), cAMP binds to the two binding sites on the regulatory subunits, which leads to the release of the catalytic subunits. For maximal function, each catalytic subunit must also be phosphorylated, which occurs on Thr 197 and helps orientate catalytic residues in the active site.[2]
1. Cytosolic cAMP increases 2. Two cAMP molecules bind to each PKA regulatory subunit 3. The regulatory subunits move out of the active sites of the catalytic subunits and the R2C2 complex dissociates 4. The free catalytic subunits interact with proteins to phosphorylate Ser or Thr residues.
The free catalytic subunits can then catalyse the transfer of ATP terminal phosphates to protein substrates at serine, or threonine residues. This phosphorylation usually results in a change in activity of the substrate. Since PKAs are present in a variety of cells and act on different substrates, PKA regulation and cAMP regulation are involved in many different pathways.
The mechanisms of further effects may be divided into direct protein phosphorylation and protein synthesis:
- In direct protein phosphorylation, PKA directly either increases or decreases the activity of a protein.
- In protein synthesis, PKA first directly activates CREB, which binds the cAMP response element, altering the transcription and therefore the synthesis of the protein. In general, this mechanism takes more time (hours to days).
Inactivation Edit
Downregulation of protein kinase A occurs by a feedback mechanism: One of the substrates that are activated by the kinase is a phosphodiesterase, which quickly converts cAMP to AMP, thus reducing the amount of cAMP that can activate protein kinase A.
Thus, PKA is controlled by cAMP. Also, the catalytic subunit itself can be down-regulated by phosphorylation.
Anchorage Edit
The regulatory subunit dimer of PKA is important for localizing the kinase inside the cell. The dimerization and docking (D/D) domain of the dimer binds to the A-kinase binding (AKB) domain of A-kinase anchor protein (AKAP). The AKAPs localize PKA to various locations (e.g., plasma membrane, mitochondria, etc.) within the cell.
AKAPs bind many other signaling proteins, creating a very efficient signaling hub at a certain location within the cell. For example, an AKAP located near the nucleus of a heart muscle cell would bind both PKA and phosphodiesterase (hydrolyzes cAMP), which allows the cell to limit the productivity of PKA, since the catalytic subunit is activated once cAMP binds to the regulatory subunits.
PKA phosphorylates proteins that have the motif Arginine-Arginine-X-Serine exposed, in turn (de)activating the proteins. As protein expression varies from cell type to cell type, the proteins that are available for phosphorylation will depend upon the cell in which PKA is present. Thus, the effects of PKA activation vary with cell type:
Overview tableEdit
In adipocytes and hepatocytes Edit
Adrenaline and glucagon affect the activity of protein kinase A by changing the levels of cAMP in a cell via the G-protein mechanism, using adenylate cyclase. Protein Kinase A acts to phosphorylate many enzymes important in metabolism. For example, protein kinase A phosphorylates acetyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase. Such covalent modification has an inhibitory effect on these enzymes, thus inhibiting lipogenesis and promoting net gluconeogenesis. Insulin, on the other hand, decreases the level of phosphorylation of these enzymes, which instead promotes lipogenesis. Recall that gluconeogenesis does not occur in myocytes.
In nucleus accumbens neuronsEdit
PKA helps transfer/translate the dopamine signal into cells. It has been found (postmortem) to be elevated in the brains of smokers, in the nucleus accumbens, which mediates reward and motivation: a part of the brain acted on by "virtually all" recreational drugs, as well as "in the area of the midbrain that responds to dopamine, which acts as a 'reward chemical' in smokers and former-smokers."[9]

It is not necessarily at TR. The first 10' of climbing is easy. 15' off of the deck is the "5.10c" crux, which felt like 5.10a, or maybe easier. It is a big move off of big jugs, but for a 5.10 climber seemed like low risk. Above that you can count on more 5.8 with the occasional large cam in a pocket. It can be lead trad without death-risking consequences.
It does seem silly that someone "unbolted" this route.
By Una Bonger
Dec 19, 2003
This route was bolted in 1989 by Steve Zich, Jandy Cox, John Sage. They were old chums of mine from DC that were visiting Boulder when I lived there. This is a fairly insignificant wall in general and all the bolts should be removed as far as I'm concerned. It's fine for top roping.
As I remember the crux was actually an existing boulder problem.
I climbed up to the left of it once with a drill in tow, sat on a hook, the flake broke, and cratered about 15 feet into some rocks and branches. Six weeks in a cast. A small price for the poor judgement of an exuberent youth.

Not a good lead for someone just getting into .10s. The crux is before the 1st bolt which is high off the deck, and there's a runout to the anchors, although on easy terrain. Neither is an issue if you're comfortable leading .10s.
Must have been bolted by a tall person. I'm 5'7" and had to make a move or two past the obvious clipping stances to reach a couple of the bolts.

6 Ways To Burn More Calories When You're Having Sex
Last week, we learned the sad news that we may not be burning as many calories as we thought we were during an average sex session. And hey, burning about as many calories as a game of doubles tennis is nothing to sneeze at. But if you really want to turn your sexcapades into a bona fide (boner fide?) workout, you're gonna have to make like Britney Jean and work, bitch. Getting the maximum burn from your sexercise session takes dedication, excellent hand-eye coordination, and a little creativity, but it can be done. Here are some moves we dreamed up for people who want to hit the bedroom instead the gym, who want to pump their hips instead of pumping iron, who want to ditch the exercise balls for actual balls, who — well, you get the idea.

A 65-year-old Raiford woman died on Saturday, June 15, while swimming with family at Bob's River Place off of Northeast Highway 340 in Old Town.
According to witnesses, the victim was swimming at the recreational area when she walked out onto the floating dock and jumped into the river. When she didn't resurface after several minutes, a family member jumped into the river and located the victim at which point he pulled her to the bank.
A Morriston man is dead and a Williston woman is hospitalized with serious injuries after a crash on Wednesday shortly before 11 p.m. on State Road 121 south of County Road 464, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release.
Brian Rodgers, 47, was pronounced dead at the scene by Levy County Emergency Medical Service personnel.
Devonte Tremaine Ocasio, who turned 20 on Tuesday, was formally re-arrested on Tuesday on a six-count indictment delivered by a Levy County Grand Jury on Friday afternoon.
Ocasio is charged in the death of Barry Barney, 36, who died after being shot at the Williston Crabfest. Four other people were injured in the shooting on April 27.
When Levy County K-9 Deputy Kevin Kinik went to the Bronson Motel at about 10 a.m. on Monday to arrest Johnny Lee Patterson on an outstanding warrant for violating probation, he not only got his man, but had new charges for Patterson.

German former world No.1 and 2010 US PGA Championship winner Martin Kaymer has re-entered the top echelon of golf by taking out the lucrative Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in dramatic fashion.
Kaymer ultimately carded a one-under 71 final round to finish 13-under for the championship and win by one over American Jim Furyk, but not before he faced a nervous finish.
The 29-year-old was cruising at the top with a three-shot lead and just five holes to left when dangerous weather halted play for 93 minutes, taking away his momentum.
Upon resumption he made a double bogey on the 15th hole to drop his lead to one.
Facing another bogey when leaving his chip 28 feet short of the hole he stepped up and made the huge curling putt for a clutch par, preserving his cushion.
A par on the last was enough to earn a $US1.8 million ($A1.95 million) winner's cheque and a five-year exemption on the US tour.
He also claims a three-year exemption into the Masters, US Open and British Open and is projected to jump from No.62 to No.27 in the world.
"This is a very special win for me," Kaymer said.
Furyk's final round 66 left him at 12-under in second place.
Spain's Sergio Garcia (70) took third at 11-under while 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, who started the final round tied with Kaymer in the lead, struggled to a two-over 74 to join England's Justin Rose (69) in fourth at 10-under.
Australian Adam Scott's quest for world No.1 failed for at least another week after his one-over 73 left him tied 38th, well short of the top-16 finish he needed to replace the injured Tiger Woods.
"Overall this week I just didn't play good enough," Scott said.
"The course was demanding even though the greens were receptive it still had a lot of long rough and I found plenty of it. "I was lucky to even make the weekend. Today I played from the rough and it's impossible to play this course out of position so I battled all day."
Matt Jones, who started tied fifth and just four off the lead, claimed top Australian honours but struggled to be two-over on Sunday to drop to six-under and a tie for 17th.
"I just didn't hit it good enough today. I knew going into the round I didn't warm up very well and I knew it would be a battle," Jones said.
"Days like that eventually catch up with you and it did on (holes) 10, 11 and 12.
"I played very good for three days, I just played bad today and I know with a good round today it could have been a whole different story so I'll go away with some positives."
John Senden, who was third and just three off the lead, struggled to a five-over 77 and dropped to a tie for 26th.
Marc Leishman (67) joined Senden at five-under, while Steven Bowditch finished his debut at the event at one-under and tied for 48th.
Geoff Ogilvy struggled to a final round 78 to drop to 69th place.

Topic: How do you deal with encepholapathy
I first came on this forum a few weeks ago. My husband was diagnosed in early Feb 2007 with metatastic cc. A liver resection was not an option, but an ERCP was done to place stents to drain the bilirubin. He has had two rounds of chemo (once a week for six weeks, followed by a two week rest). At the end of each round, we were tild there was no change. He had one treatment of a third round and then he started showing a lot of jaundice again and experiencing a lot of pain in his abdomen, his feet, legs and abdomen also started to show considerable swelling. The doctor stopped the chemo and ordered a ct scan and then another ERCP where they discovered that either the tumor had filled in the stent or had crushed it. Either way they told us there was nothing more that could be done, so my husband is now under hospice care. Throughout the past few months my husband, who has always been pretty mild, kind, loving, laidback has had quite a personality change. He says and does hurtful things and is very difficult to deal with. My children and I know it is the liver toxins which cause swelling in the brain, but it is still very hard to deal with on an ongoung basis because he is often very irrational and does some crazy things. I am at my wits end in hiw to handle all the. Everyone has bent over backwards to accommadate his every whim, but it is getting out of hand and if things aren't done just to his liking, he causes some pretty hurt feelings. We keep telling ourselves it is the sickness not him but it is very hard. Has anyone else experienced this?
He tells me he is at peace with dying. Having always been a man of great faith, I am sure that in a spirityal sense he is, but he is fighting it for all he is worth. He is like the energizer bunny with umpteen projects that he says he has to get done and it is like he is driven even though he is unable to do any of it himself. Besides our family, peo[le from our church and the boy scouts have helped tremondously. How do we get him to stop and smell the roses and enjoy some quality time with us. There is not much left and our six childtrn (who live all aver the country) were all here for the 4th of July week and while we had a little quality time on the 4th itself, for the mpst part, my husband acted as a drill sargeant which is titally out of character for him. I don't want our children and grandchildren left with bad memories. We have always been a bery close knit family and were all devasted when we learned of his cancer. We all love him deeply and to be honest with you the thought has crossed all of our minds that like the old story of the reason why teenagers are difficult is that if they always stayed as sweet and lovable as when they were very young, we would never want them to leave home so this is Gos's way to make it more acceptable. Is this what is happening with our family? Is God prparing us so that we can more readily let him go? My heart if very heavy. the hospice nurse tells us that if signs and symptoms alone were the ony indicator, he only has a few days left, but will piays an important role too. I thank you for letting me ramble.

Over the last week and a half, I've watched the launch and rapid growth of a very promising movement. It is called "80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs" and represents the coalescence of over a dozen leading youth organizations to advocate for a new American economy.
This is the kind of movement, the kind of coordinated effort that America needs to tackle our greatest and most glaring problems. 80 Million Strong promises not just the organization and conviction to accomplish their goals, but the understanding and foresight to accomplish the right goals without compromising our future. It is the goal of The Concord Coalition to educate the public about the importance of fiscal sustainability. It is the goal of 80 Million Strong to be the voice of the Millennials so they can hold government accountable to the next generation. At the intersection of the two, I hope to see the political strength of young Americans used judiciously to advocate for sound government and a secure fiscal future.
As Concord's Youth Outreach Coordinator, I am proud to be a part of the 80 Million Strong coalition, and look forward to witnessing their continued growth over the coming months.
Be sure to...
- Give them your ideas for creating jobs
- Apply for their summit to represent America's youth in Washington

Why is it when I don't look at GPUs for a while the prices go UP!
It's way past time I replaced my 5670 - it's a 512Mb model and my (soon to arrive I hope) 23" monitor will stretch it (it's soldiering along at 1440x900 but 1920x1080 is a step up it won't like, I suspect??)
Problem is, every time I look at likely replacements, the prices seem to be silly. I generally aim to double the power of my last GPU - but to do that I'd need a 650 TI/GTX 460 or a 6870 which are WAY out of my budget (which is under £100 - preferrably some way under it)
A 6770/5770 or 550TI wouldn't require a PSU upgrade - which would be nice - but fall short of the 'double power' thing by some way AND they aren't exactly cheap either. I can't remember when I lasy paid over £75 for a GPU - I think it was a Diamond 3DFX card (which I still have somewhere!!)
I've always managed this trick before but it seems PC hardware is doomed to not get cheaper/better atm!?
Am I missing some amazing deals somewhere? Even eBay seems short of pre-owned cards (I've had a few over the years, generally without issues but it is a risk if the last owner ran them hard or forgot to cool em of course)
The Radeon HD 7770 is going for £90 or so - and you get a MANSHOOTER thrown in free of charge!
It's better than the 550 Ti and significantly cheaper than the 650 Ti which is only a little better.
If you want something better than a 7770, I'd go for the 7850. Even more so now that you get a free manshooter as well.
There have always been the Moon logic pricing on the highest end cards. But because of demand tapering as even an older gpu can handle nearly all the latest games, partially because of console cycles.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

GPU prices are outrageous atm.
hd4850 prices in 2009 still have a hd 7850 beat in performance / dollar. The bang for buck market hasn't seen any real value increase in 3 years.
According to moore's law we should be getting 3x the performance, but since prices have ballooned the performance / dollar has stayed the same instead of going up 3x in the same market segment.
I just went with a hd6870 ( 60 percent upgrade from my 130 euro 4870) for 160 euros last year to tie me over until something comes along that 'll be an interesting buy again.
Beware of the 7770, it's an asthmatic memory bandwidth starved card and there is a huge performance gap between it and a hd 7850.
Try to find a 6870 or 560ti (650ti is quite a bit slower, again, beware) for around 130 euros if you can find it , anything slower isn't exactly hot shit at 1080p anymore for newer demanding games.
Otherwise you're going to have to shell out a lot more starting with the 7850 or gtx 660.
For reference, a hd6870 gives me 40-75 average fps in recent games at 1080p with no AA and everything at highest settings (AO on medium if the option is there, that one always guzzles frames on high), I'd say that is the minimum you'll want to go for to not feel like you need another upgrade immediately.

My 560ti which I bought a year ago has gone up by nearly €60. They're also near double the price of a 6870.

have you seen the screenshots thread? Pick out the nicest pics and ask what gpu was used. If it's more than a year old you are likely to find a good bargain on ebay.Steam profile
PC Specs: I have a big e-peen
As for the HD 4850, it was selling for $129 after the early 2009 price cuts. The HD 7850 is currently selling for as little as $160 with a free game to boot. Even if we ignore the free game, that means the 7850 is delivering FAR more performance per dollar.
A 5850 is at least 50% better than the 4850. The 7850 holds at least the same advantage over the 5850. So you're getting easily over twice as much performance, for less than a quarter more dollars (even if we ignore the free game and, lol, inflation).
You could perhaps have argued that there have been disappointing gains in performance per dollar. But arguing that there have been no gains? That's just not going to work.
As for the 7770, it's true that it is significantly weaker than the 7850. But it's only slightly weaker than the GTX 650 Ti which costs significantly more (closer to the 7850 than the 7770, even though its performance is closer to the latter). And to top if off, the 650 Ti is the memory bandwidth-starved card, not the 7770 (at least to a lesser degree). The 650 Ti has a significantly more powerful GPU, but only 86 GB/s memory bandwidth to the 7770's 72 GB/s.
For graphics cards, it only rarely makes sense to buy anything but the newest generation at retail (at least after the sometimes "optimistic" launch pricing goes away). Second-hand is often a different story, but it does have the usual drawbacks.
Yeah, while I was thinking of going for a second for SLI, I'm just going to wait until the pricing of the newer models comes down from the initial launch price.

4870 was 130 euros in early 2009 with directCU cooler, 4850 was 110.
7850 start at 170 euros here (granted I thought it was still more than that it was a few weeks ago, the recent amd price 'drops' -I shudder to call it that, because it would suggest you get a good deal now, no you just get a slightly less insulting deal- have finally increased performance/dollar from 2009.)
The 7770 and 650ti are both pathetic cards with horrible memory bandwidth, comparing a turd to a rotten tomato doesn't mean one or the other is suddenly worth anything.
70GB/sec is just completely unsuited for 1080p with any AA.
Just to remind you, these things have 60 percent less memory bandwidth than the 4870 that you could get for the same price back in 2009!
But you are right , now that amd prices have (inevitably, they can only scam people so many people with a higher price for a higher product number) come down you can finally get some more performance for your dollar than you could in 2009.
It is still sad just how little more you get for your money than way back then though.
Maybe when the true kepler cards release the price/performance will trickle down do the midrange . The high end large die cards should be 30-50 percent faster than the current pseudo high end narrow bus width, low bandwidth , small die gtx 680, so the high end bang for buck should go up by 30-50 percent (unless they now plan for another pricehike to sell the gtx 780 for 1000 euros)

To the OP.
Perhaps it's worth waiting it out and seeing how your computer performs with the new monitor and if you can deal with whatever fps hit you take if any.
The 7850 is available in Denmark for 1109 DKK = €148 = £119, and that's including 25% VAT and generally high hardware prices.

I was in a CEX today (yes, one of the staff had silly hair - yes I've had a bath since) and they had a selection of GPUs, the prices of which demonstrated the craziness of the market as-is (a GTX460, preowned, £95!)
eBay has a notable lack of preowned cards too - I guess with nothing really tempting to upgrade into, people are sticking with what they've got...

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 5, 2013) — Legislation authored by State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) to improve child services in Indiana passed out of the Senate today by a unanimous vote. The proposal originated from the Department of Child Services (DCS) Interim Study Committee, which Holdman chaired.
Senate Bill 164 would allow prosecuting attorneys to file a child in need of services (CHINS) petition with a juvenile court, which sets in motion legal action for the state to intervene to protect a child. Prosecutors previously had the ability to do this, but as of July 2009, that authority belongs only to DCS.
"My legislation would restore that authority to prosecutors and allow them to intervene in situations that need immediate legal action," Holdman said. "The current structure we have for CHINS petitions could potentially lead to some cases falling through the cracks. Senate Bill 164 would cut out the middle man and let a qualified, experienced individual advocate on behalf of a child in need."
The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration. Rep. Kevin Mahan (R-Hartford City) is the sponsor in the House.

I want to select the releases with the IDs 8, 17, 20. They are the latest (by version and release_expires) for their release_type. Is there an easy way to select them in one query?
which dbms are you running? the ease of the answer depends on which one it is
It's MySQL, version 5.1.x.
could you explain "latest (by version and release_expires) for their release_type"
why does it take two column values to figure out the latest? wouldn't version alone suffice?
Well... that's rather an ambiguous choice of words. Before I created this thread there wasn't a version number for the Debian (ID 8) row, but only a "-". It occurred to me that in the future there might be other releases with the type "2", so I gave it a version number and made another screenshot but I didn't think to revise my post. As it is now, it looks safe to use only the version number to check for the latest of each type.
I'm in the process of redesigning our outdated download wizard for the Linux Mint releases and... of course there are many ways to skin a cat. My first thought was to put everything in an interface, which one can use to select option by option what kind of disk image he/she wants. Based on all previously selected options, the following ones get updated with JavaScript and after you finish choosing your particular needs you click the download button and get the ISO.
However, being stuck with this query allowed me to rethink/refine the whole wizard idea. With the regular users in mind, I thought it might be easier for them to present the differences between the Mint releases: regular, long-term and perpetual. I would have to design a 3-tabbed interface that presents in as few words possible what each release type means, which would allow me to present the release details a lot easier to choose. Now making it easier for the user would still require this query I came here to ask for, but then another idea popped up.
Considering I would have to execute that not-so-simple query each time I load the first page of the website, I figured that I might as well use my admin back-end to store the latest IDs in the CMS settings directly - like a cache. After all, they will always be just a few bytes: "123, 132, 138". Then I could simply SELECT * FROM minteditions WHERE release_id IN (123, 132, 138). Right?
The trade-off is I would "bloat" each web page instance with this extra setting but on the other side I could as well use those IDs in other sections of the website whenever I get some brilliant idea. What do you think?
I'm still interested in the query I came here for, as it would give me an extra option for the download wizard, so I'll keep an eye here. Thanks for taking time to answer me.
SELECT t.release_id
, t.release_codename
, t.release_version
, t.release_base
, t.release_type
, t.release_expires
FROM ( SELECT release_type
, MAX(release_version) AS latest
FROM minteditions
BY release_type ) AS m
JOIN minteditions AS t
ON t.release_type = m.release_type
AND t.release_version = m.latest
Thank you. It looks a bit complicated. It selects 8, 12, 13, so I'll look around and see if I can figure it out.
oh, it's because of the MAX on the VARCHAR values
replace MAX(release_version) with MAX(CAST(release_version AS DECIMAL))
Spot on, thank you! I hope I'll find the time to learn some more MySQL.

After a four-day stretch with no classes for the full-time MBA programme at Vlerick, I have spent my last two days off catching up on secondary research for a few projects with impending deadlines.
I realised this morning for what seems like the millionth time that secondary research is probably one of my least favourite things to do in school; especially when I think of all the other things I could be doing instead, like updating my CV, grocery shopping, uploading photos, checking Facebook or catching up on some of my favourite blogs.

O'Reilly ignored MMFA correction, repeated false claim about black students' dropout rate
A little more than a month after Media Matters for America corrected [1] FOX News Channel host and radio host Bill O'Reilly's false claim that "I see a worse black student dropout rate in 2000 than in '92," O'Reilly repeated the claim, this time on his nationally syndicated radio show, The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly.
From the July 7 broadcast of The Radio Factor:
O'REILLY: This is a competitive society. Yes, this society does give black Americans a little bit of help -- maybe not as much as we should, but you get a little bit of help that the white American wouldn't get on paper -- on paper. OK?
But if you don't do it yourself, the government's not going to do it for you. Naw. So you can vote Democratic all day long -- they're not going to help you. Clinton didn't help blacks. He didn't help them. The black high school dropout rate in 2000 was higher than it was in 1992. All right?
As Media Matters for America previously noted [1], the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported [2] in 2003 that the dropout rate for black students ages 16 to 24 actually declined during the Clinton presidency. NCES's 2003 annual report on education, "The Condition of Education 2003 [2]," shows that the dropout rate for black students was 13.7 percent in 1992 and 13.1 percent in 2000.

BUDDING storytellers are being given the chance to have their writing published, win thousands of pounds and to meet famous author Jilly Cooper.
The Wills Writing Awards see authors in three age groups, from under 15s, under 19s and those under 26 pen factual or fictional stories with a horseracing theme.
The awards were launched in 1993 in memory of journalist and amateur jockey Martin Wills and are now in their 22nd year.
But this year the winner of the under 26 category has the unique opportunity to have a literary lunch with Jilly Cooper and Brough Scott, chairman of the awards judges and a leading sports journalist and author.
Brough Scott said: "The Wills Awards hold a unique place in the racing industry and I don't think you'll find any other sport that offers such a brilliant opportunity to launch a journalistic career and get on the industry's radar. After 22 years they are still going strong with some of today's top sporting journalists having graced our doors."
Those interested should submit a single article by Friday, February 28, via willswritingawards.co.uk.
The winners will be announced and presented at Newmarket's prestigious Craven Meeting on Wednesday, April 16, when all prize winners will be given an expenses paid day's racing.

That's right. Weed wine is an actual thing. Creating this hallmark of human achievement doesn't seem too complicated. Wine makers must first soak the illegal drug in Everclear to extract the THC. Then the drugged-out liquid is added to the early stages of fermentation. This makes for an extremely potent product, with an ABV (alcohol by volume) percentage raising as high as 12%. It doesn't, however, make you stoned.
This college dorm-endorsed brew is illegal, so you won't be seeing it on the shelves of your local liquor store anytime soon.

This past Saturday, December 3, the JSA-P hosted its 2nd Annual MBAP Holiday Party & Charity Giving Event.
The largest MBAP event to date, some 275 MBAP students, guests, and JGSB staff met at Minute Maid Park's FiveSeven Grill in downtown Houston, to celebrate the end of a successful semester, and to reflect on the needs of those less fortunate.
It was a spectacular evening filled with food, drinks, dancing, and camaraderie, overlooking one of the nation's most beautiful baseball fields.
The charity aspect of the event was a huge success, and the combined classes of 2012 and 2013 raised about $2,500 for the Small Steps Nurturing Center of Houston, in support of at-risk children in the Houston area.
Even more amazing is that, on top of the cash raised, the class will donate 115 winter coats for the children of Small Steps, just in time for the nasty cold snaps hitting our area.
If you would like to learn more about Small Steps, and the children to whom they provide assistance, please visit their website.
"Overall, it was a beautiful event, that was not only a blast, but one that we hope will make a real impact on a lot of deserving children in need. We had an amazing social committee that really stepped up to the plate to put this event together in a pinch. But, we couldn't have done it at all without the invaluable help from Brooke Sabo and her team at the OSS, and Sean Ferguson's generous support. By the end of the night, I just hope everyone had a great time – and, I think we all did," said Jay Vinekar (MBAP '12), MBAP-E Social Chair.
After some brief acknowledgements by JSA-P president, Tushar Chaudhry (MBAP '12), celebrity emcees Vicki Jackman (MBAP '12) and Louis-Philippe Fortin Burroughes (MBAP '12) kicked the party up a notch with their hilarious banter and an exciting prize drawing.
The prizes included generous donations from Kiran's Fine Indian Cuisine, DEFINE: body & mind Exercise Studios, the JSA-P, and the Houston Astros.
By the middle of the night, celebrity guest DJ Kool Emdee had most of the class tapping their feet to great tunes, while overlooking the gorgeously lit ballpark. Check out the photo gallery to see gorgeous pictures of the evening, taken by our very own Sam Mason (FTMBA '11).

Newly Discovered Dinosaur Illuminates Ancient Lineage
Pristine skeletons of carnivorous Tawa hallae shed light on early days of dinosaur evolution
View an audio slideshow and a video interview with Sterling Nesbitt of the University of Texas.
When Darwin's finches diverged from their common ancestor, the isolation of their island home allowed many species to arise from one.
When their dinosaur ancestors emerged in the Triassic, the island home was the unified landmass Pangea, and the evolution was far more complicated.
In the Dec. 11, 2009, issue of Science, a team of paleontologists introduces the Triassic dinosaur Tawa hallae, an animal that may answer longstanding questions about the earliest years of dinosaur evolution.
The Tawa fossils, collected along with other specimens during recent field excursions to Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, are some of the most complete and best preserved dinosaur skeletons from the Late-Triassic time period.
Tawa possesses features that appear in its contemporaries and features that do not, a finding that helps unite all Triassic carnivorous dinosaurs into one group, the theropods, the same group that included Tyrannosaurus rex, and now includes birds.
The recent finds also support the hypothesis that dinosaurs first originated in what is now South America and soon after diverged into theropods, sauropodomorphs (the line that includes the ground-shaking giants like Apatosaurus) and ornithischians (a line that includes a range of body types, including Stegosaurus and Triceratops).
Only after this divergence did dinosaurs disperse across the Triassic world more than 220 million years ago.
"Tawa gives us an unprecedented window into early dinosaur evolution, solidifying the relationships of early dinosaurs, revealing how they spread across the globe, and providing new insights into the evolution of their characteristics," says Sterling Nesbitt of the University of Texas at Austin, the lead author on the paper.
Nesbitt's co-authors included Nathan Smith of the University of Chicago and the Field Museum of Natural History; Randall Irmis of the Utah Museum of Natural History, University of Utah; Alan Turner of Stony Brook University; Alex Downs of the Ruth Hall Museum of Paleontology in Abiquiu, N.M.; and Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History, where Nesbitt was a researcher at the time of the discovery.
"If you have continents splitting apart, you get isolation," says Nesbitt. "So when barriers develop, you would expect that multiple carnivorous dinosaurs in a region should represent a closely related, endemic radiation," similar to what occurred with Darwin's finches. "But that is what we don't see in early dinosaur evolution," adds Nesbitt.
Instead, Nesbitt and his colleagues observed three distantly related carnivores in the fossil-rich, Late Triassic beds, implying that each carnivore descended from a separate lineage before arriving in North America, instead of all evolving from a local ancestor. In addition to Tawa, the researchers found fossils from a carnivorous dinosaur related to Coelophysis, common to that region, and fossils from a carnivore closely related to Herrerasaurus, which lived in South America.
The two- to four-meter-long skeletons of Tawa display characteristics that exist in both of its contemporaries, and features found in neither, implying a separate lineage. Unlike many theropods, Tawa's lineage does not lead directly to birds.
According to Nesbitt, the old view held that Herrerasaurus split off of the family tree after the ornithischians, but before the sauropods and theropods diverged. "Tawa now appears to show that the three groups split from each other as soon as dinosaurs evolved," he adds, though paleontologists have not yet found a concrete example of a dinosaur that existed before the divergence.
"Tawa is a very good example of a fossil that fills in what we call a morphological gap," says Nesbitt, referring to a gap in knowledge about how morphology, or body structures, changed over time, a result of the incomplete nature of the fossil record. While theropods were changing quickly in the Triassic, paleontologists have found few animals that preserve the "steps" that define the sequence of changes.
One of the most significant morphological gaps for early dinosaurs lies between Herrerasaurus and animals that are clearly more closely related to birds, such as Coelophysis. According to Nesbitt, Tawa fits perfectly in between. "It is not a missing link," he adds, "It evolved on its own lineage, but it retains characteristics that existed in Herrerasaurus that we thought were more primitive while also possessing features seen in unmistakable theropods, including birds, such as the presence of air sacs surrounding the braincase and neck."
"Usually, early dinosaur specimens are not as complete or well preserved, so they spur a lot more questions than answers," says Nesbitt. "Tawa is so well preserved that every bone we have, we can examine it in three dimensions. And we can analyze five of the skeletons this way, with examples of both mature and immature animals. This is just the tip of the iceberg. All dinosaurs share a common feature, an open hip socket, and you can dissect your Thanksgiving turkey and still see that original feature. But the earliest lineages that lie in between are far from understood."
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through grants to Mark Norell (0228607), Alan Turner (0608003), Nathan Smith (0808250) and NSF Graduate Research Fellowships to Sterling Nesbitt and Randall Irmis. The research was also featured in the NSF-funded IMAX® 3D movie "Dinosaurs Alive!" (itself supported by NSF grant 0337269).
The research was also sponsored by the National Geographic Society with other participating institutions including the University of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Utah Museum of Natural History, the University of Utah, Stony Brook University and the Ruth Hall Museum of Paleontology.

[EDITING] Body Armour for players
It sucks when you get winged and have to sit out for ten minutes.
The default medical module is nice, but it's not ideal.
Norrin's revive is very hard to follow, adds hundreds of kilobytes to mission sizes and is very fiddly to set up without it making death a non-issue.
The solution? Give the players Body Armour (AKA Ansob's Shameful Setting). They'll be able to take a handful of 5.56 rounds to the chest, even at close range. Grenades, tank shells and anti-material rifles will still ruin their day, though.
What it does
Body Armour modifies the damage event handlers, scaling down certain types of damage.
Wiki info
Create bodyarmourfunc.sqf in your mission folder:
private ["_unit","_damage","_ammo","_gethit","_damMults"]; // Stolen from Celery, modifications by Nullkigan _unit=_this select 0; //Unit taking damage _damage=_this select 2; //Amount of damage dealt to unit _ammo=_this select 4; //Type of damage unit takes _damMults=[0.1,0.2,0.2,0.3,0.4]; //Structural, Head, Body, Hands, Legs //player sideChat format ["%1 isKindOf BulletCore = %2, dealt %3 damage",_ammo,(_ammo isKindOf "BulletCore"),_damage];//Debug; tells you what hit the player and how much base damage it did if (!(_ammo isKindOf "BulletCore")) then {_damMults=[1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0];}; // Only modify damage if from a bullet; grenades and stuff still hurt! NB: .50 at point blank just kills instead of doing damage. //Comment out the above IF statement for resistance to ALL damage types. NB: As well as instakills, some weapons do tens or more damage per hit, which even after scaling can still kill units outright. if (isNil {_unit getVariable "gethit"}) then {_unit setVariable ["gethit",[0,0,0,0]]}; // Fresh unit starts at full health _gethit=_unit getVariable "gethit"; // load health of each part of body switch (_this select 1) do { // Depending on which part of body is damaged case "":{ // Overall structure damage _damage=damage _unit+_damage*(_damMults select 0) // Total damage to unit + percentage of incoming damage }; case "head_hit":{ // Damage applied to head _damage=(_gethit select 0)+(_damage-(_gethit select 0))*(_damMults select 1);_gethit set [0,_damage] // Damage dealt to head so far + damage from current shot (minus existing damage) * factor; essentially, damage accumulates with the number of shots you take }; case "body":{ _damage=(_gethit select 1)+(_damage-(_gethit select 1))*(_damMults select 2);_gethit set [1,_damage] //As previously }; case "hands":{ // cannot kill a unit on own, only affect aim _damage=(_gethit select 2)+(_damage-(_gethit select 2))*(_damMults select 3);_gethit set [2,_damage] }; case "legs":{ // cannot kill a unit on own, only affect movement _damage=(_gethit select 3)+(_damage-(_gethit select 3))*(_damMults select 4);_gethit set [3,_damage] }; }; // Do not put a semicolon or comment after the next line otherwise the script will not output the correct result _damage
BodyArmourFunc = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "bodyarmourfunc.sqf"; // players are partially bullet resistant player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{call bodyarmourfunc;}];
If you wish to use Body Armour with Norrin's Revive, place the above chunk of code before the following entry in init.sqf:
server execVM "revive_init.sqf";
NORRNCustomExec1 ="_name setVariable ['gethit',[0,0,0,0]];"; // Exec1 occurs following being revived NORRNCustomExec2 =""; // Exec2 occurs when you team kill NORRNCustomExec3 ="_name setVariable ['gethit',[0,0,0,0]];"; // Exec3 occurs when you spawn at base NORRNCustomExec4 =""; // Exec4 occurs when you try and spawn at base but it is still occupied NORRNCustomExec5 =""; // Must use variables: MAP_r_rejoin (false - first time, // true - rejoining the server, and // MAP_r_no_lives - number of lives if you rejoin server)

Ford Uses Carbon Fiber Hood to Reduce Vehicle Weight, Increase Fuel Efficiency

Ford's carbon fiber hood prototype
(Source: Ford Motor Company)
The new carbon fiber hood prototype weighs more than 50 percent less than the standard steel versions, yet is five times as strong as steel
Ford is looking to make its vehicles even more fuel efficient with a new prototype
carbon fiber
hood that weighs less than traditional versions.
The Ford European Research Centre partnered with Dow Automotive Systems in the Hightech.NRW research project to develop the carbon fiber hood prototype. Ford also collaborated with the Institute of Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Toho Tenax, Composite Impulse, Henkel, IKV (Institute of Plastics Processing) and Evonik.
The new carbon fiber hood prototype weighs more than 50 percent less than the standard steel versions, yet is five times as strong as steel. The carbon fiber is also twice as stiff as steel and will reduce the weight of Ford vehicles by about 750 pounds by the end of the decade.
"It's no secret that
reducing a vehicle's weight
can deliver major benefits for fuel consumption, but a process for fast and affordable production of carbon fibre automotive parts in large numbers has never been available," said Inga Wehmeyer, advanced materials and processes research engineer for Ford European Research Centre. "By partnering with materials experts through the Hightech.NRW research project, Ford is working to develop a solution that supports cost efficient manufacturing of carbon fibre components."
The project started in 2010 and is expected to continue until September 2013. In that time frame, Ford and its partners set out to develop cost effective methods for carbon fiber manufacturing; reduce individual component production times; reduce the amount of finishing work required; meet requirements for painting, and reduce the component weight by at least 50 percent.
"There are two ways to reduce energy use in vehicles," said Paul Mascarenas, Ford chief technical officer and vice president of Research and Innovation. "Improving the conversion efficiency of fuels to motion and reducing the amount of work that powertrains need to do. Ford is tackling the conversion problem primarily through downsizing engines with EcoBoost and electrification while mass reduction and improved aerodynamics are keys to reducing the workload."
So far, the outcome has been a prototype carbon fiber hood that weighs more than 50 percent less than standard steel. The carbon fiber hood was placed in a
Ford Focus
at the Composites Europe event in Dusseldorf, Germany. Early testing suggests that it will meet Ford's standards for dent resistance, crash performance and stiffness.
Increasing fuel efficiency is crucial right now, considering the White House finalized the
54.5 MPG Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
for 2017-2025 model years back in August of this year. The new standards aim to cut oil consumption/dependency, greenhouse gas emissions and encourage green vehicle adoption.
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

Rylands 1
Knutsford 1
RYLANDS extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a late, but deserved, equaliser in an exciting encounter with champions Knutsford at Gorsey Lane.
After a poor start, manager Dave Parr was pleased with his side's response following the interval.
"There is a strong belief in the group now," he said.
"We played some excellent football in the second period and perhaps did enough to take all three points.
"It is often said that it is a squad game, but that was appropriate today as the lads who came off the bench affected the game and the result directly."
Parr was indebted to substitute Craig Smith for helping to maintain Rylands' run without a defeat; the striker popped up in the 85th minute to cancel out Kingsley Grandison's first half effort for Reds.
Rylands' two-week lay-off due to the poor weather seemed to have an adverse effect, at least initially, with Grandison posing a significant threat until he drove home through a packed penalty area to give his side an advantage.
But a revival after the break handed Rylands a chance of redemption, with James Daniels and Lee Dermody squandering chances to level.
Desperation increased as time ticked by, with the Warrington outfit throwing everything at their guests until substitutes Ben Slater and Smith combined to earn their side a point.
They occupy fifth place spot in the table as a reward.
Rylands: Moor, James Sinker (Priest), Duffy, Prescott, Tebb, Richard Sinker, Lowe, Rodger (Slater), Dermody (Smith), Bell, Daniels.

SPRING VALLEY - The Hall Red Devils were hoping to celebrate their first win of the season on Homecoming Night, but the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers crashed the party.
Led by their workhorse fullback Zach Inskeep with 201 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 28 carries, the Panthers scored early and often in their 56-26 victory over the Red Devils at Richard Nesti Field on Friday night.
The two teams matched scores at 14 apiece early in the second quarter but the Panthers scored 22 unaswered points to close out the half and never looked back.
Big scoring plays were a problem for the Hall defense as they allowed three touchdowns that were 47 yards or more in the final 5:37 of the first half.
"That is the story of our season," said Hall coach Randy Tieman. "We don't seem to be in the right spots, we don't read our assignments and we're not getting there."
Hall kept pace with the Panthers in the first quarter as the team's two quarterbacks - Miguel Villareal for Hall and Ethan Howard for EP - traded six-yard touchdown runs.
With the Red Devils ahead 7-6, Inskeep scored his first touchdown run from six yards out to cap a 13 play drive with 7:40 remaining in the half.
Hall would quickly answer on special teams as Landon Piccatto took the kickoff 70 yards for a score that tied the game at 14 apiece.
However, the Panthers lit up the scoreboard with three more touchdowns in the first half to put the game out of reach. Nick Williams had a 57-yard score on a toss to left side of the field and a 49-yard touchdown reception on a play action pass up the middle. Inskeep then capitalized on a Hall fumble with a 47-yard run with 24 seconds remaining in the half.
The Panthers amassed 460 yards total on the ground as they established the run early with Inskeep. The bruising fullback had 139 yards in the first half alone.
"That kid runs the ball hard," said Tieman. "He's a big kid and we had a lot of problems taking him down. He's probably the best fullback we've seen all year."
Piccatto added two rushing scores for Hall in the second half with an 11-yard scamper in the third quarter and a 55-yard run in the fourth quarter. He finished the night with 104 yards rushing.
"He had a nice night on his last homecoming, it's great for him," said Tieman. "We're still looking for a victory and I know Landon is too, he's not about himself."
For EP, they started they second half with an 87-yard touchdown run from Ian Franks. Williams and Inskeep later added scores. The Panthers scored on every offensive possession except for when they ran out of time to end the first and second half.
Coming off their upset win against Morrison last week, Panthers coach Chuck Milem said his team is playing with a lot of confidence right now.
"Our biggest thing right now is focusing every week," said Milem. "I thought we did that this week. We weren't looking by anybody and we stayed focused because Hall has a great tradition and program. We weren't looking by them at all."
• The Red Demons won the sophomore contest 28-6. They had touchdown runs from Jake Merkel, Tyler Taber, Andrew Kerr and Grant Hill.

The company that is now referred to as Chris-Craft, was started on Point du Chene, in Algonac, Michigan, a small town on the St. Clair River. It was here that Christopher Columbus Smith built his first boat in 1874 at age 13. These Smith-built boats were referred to as "punts" or "skiffs." With his reputation as a master boat builder on the grow, Chris joined with his brother Hank in 1881 to begin producing boats full time. As demand for their dependable hunting craft increased, the duo started building boats in rapid succession, perhaps laying the ground work for their future as builders of "standardized" runabouts. In 1910 The Smith Ryan boat company is formed - focused on building fast economically priced runabouts for mass market distribution. Chris Craft is recognized as the worlds largest builder of mahogany constructed power boats and recreational power boats. In 1941 Chris Craft began building patrol boats, utility launches, and rescue vessels for the United States Nave and Army. In 1955 Chris Craft manufactured its first fiberglass boat. In 1971 they completed the transition to fiberglass products and built the last mahogany boat which was a 57 foot Constellation. Today Chris Craft continue to design and build premium boats and yachts, remaining passionately true to the legend of Chris Craft.

A CLIVIGER church has announced plans to expand - because brides getting married there have to make their way through the toilets before they go up the aisle.
Mount Zion Methodist Church, based at Walk Mill, Burnley Road, wants to build a 245sq metre extension, which includes a reception area, and better access for disab-led visitors.
The proposals, lodged by Alan Scholes, of the church's leadership team, also include a new community room, and improved toilet facilities.
The church, established in 1878, said refurbishment would 'have a distinct social benefit, without having any detrimental effect on the visual appearance of the buil-ding'.
A planning statement on behalf of the applicant, from Burnley-based agents Kirkwells, said: "The church suffers from poor accessibility due to significant level chan-ges, and has no access for disabled members of the church congregation.
"Problems have arisen in the past during functions at the church, where elderly relatives have struggled to get into church for weddings, and funerals, due to existing access. The church would also like to provide a much-needed main entrance reception area and community space.
"Due to the location of the existing entrance in the centre of the church, brides and bridesmaids attending weddings have had to enter the building through the back yard area, and the ladies' toilets, in order to walk down the aisle in the centre of the church."
The church, which currently draws 75 worshippers to its Sunday services, said it also catered for a number of midweek meetings, which were attracting 'good attendance'.
It added: "The community space would be a space available for use by the residents of the village and not just the church congregation."
