zicozz - Friday, December 11, 2009 - linkI'm looking for a smaller laptop and I'm currently aiming at either the Asus UV30 or the Asus F83. Can't seem to find any reviews of the F83, but the UV30 seems to be the king in this hill in it's class. Reply
zicozz - Friday, December 11, 2009 - linkSorry UL30 not UV30 Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, December 11, 2009 - linkThe major difference between the UL80Vt and the UL30Vt is the screen size (13.3" for the UL30Vt) and the lack of an optical drive. It also weighs about 1 pound less. If you want something a bit smaller, go for it, but make sure you get the UL30Vt; there's an older UL30 that doesn't support Turbo33 and comes with a smaller battery I believe. Reply
jtsarnak - Tuesday, December 08, 2009 - linkI cannot recommend any Sony laptops, even the SR mentioned in this article for its good screen. I am the owner of a Z series and this laptop would have been near perfect except for one problem that is plauging most of Sony's line: Battery Drain.
See here:
And here:
These are just two examples, there are a ton of threads out there discussing the problem. Sony's line has the unfortunate "feature" of draining the battery while the laptop is completely shut down. I say "feature" because numerous consumer attempts to get Sony to rectify the issue have been met with a canned response that this is typical for their laptops.
I have also emailed various websites and publications in an effort to get someone with a little more visibility and press to address the issue with Sony but to no avail. Sony continues to get good reviews on their machines but I'm doubting the reviewers ever bother to look for the drain during the review process.
Maybe Anandtech will take up the call. Sony is delivering a defective product (a mobile device that loses battery when it is shut off is, imho, defective) and claiming it as a "feature". Anandtech did a great job getting to the bottom of the SSD debacle with the JMicron drives, perhaps they can help us Sony owners as well. In the meantime, avoid these laptops if you don't plan on having it forever plugged in when you're not using it. Reply
aznchum - Tuesday, December 08, 2009 - linkI'm an avid fan of IPS panels, and the only notebooks that I know carried them were the Flexview Panels on the IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads. If LCD quality is of a huge concern to you, you probably are better off picking up a Thinkpad x200 (non s) and retrofitting a BOE-Hydis HV121WX4-100 panel (12.1" 1280x800) in it. However, most of these panels floating around the market have a digitizer attached, since they're sourced from tablet PCs. So the mod is kind of a pain in the ass. I personally have modded a T60p with a QXGA screen and found it to be a relatively easy mod with the hardware maintenance manual. The 4:3 15" chassis of the T60/61 and R60/61 are probably the fastest notebooks you can buy that come with Flexview panels. If you're not snobby about LCDs, then go with the recommendations in this guide. Reply
CheesePoofs - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkThanks for the article, I've been looking forward to something like this!
The UL30VT seems pretty interesting to me - same specs as the UL80VT but smaller package making the low-res screen a bit more bearable (I hope).
Also is there any word on when Arrandale laptops will come out? I've heard Jan 7th for Arrandale chips, but I have no sense of what the delay is between chip release and laptop availability. Reply
btmedic04 - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkI recently purchased a Sony Vaio VPPCW17FX at Best Buy for $799 (before tax) and I am absolutely thrilled with it (especially since i was coming from an ancient HP ZV6000 series with a desktop Athlon 64 3200 that weighed 7 lbs and looks like hell. served its purpose though, but i sure was surprised to see it survive a deployment to Iraq lol)
Specs are as follows:
Intel Core2Duo T6600 2.2ghz 2MB L2 800mhz FSB
4GB DDR3 1066 (for some reason at DDR3 800mhz with no option to set 1066 in bios >.< )
500GB Hard Drive
Nvidia G210M with 256mb GDDR3 ram
Blue-Ray player
14" Monitor @ 1366x768
5.5 lbs
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Not bad at all for the price I paid for it. It gets almost 3 hours of battery life with the Balance power plan in Windows 7. I also love the chic let style keyboard and theres no discernible flex in the chassis (as you can understand, im not about to try to fold my notebook in half long-ways LOL) It has 3 USB ports, a firewire 400 port, VGA port and HDMI. I havent tried any gaming on it yet, however I suspect with the lower resolution monitor, I should be able to play modern games with lower settings and older games with higher settings (much better than the integrated ATI Xpress 200m in my old laptop) I have hooked this laptop up to my 32" LCD TV and watched blue-ray movies at 720p with out any issues. Also, Sony released updated drivers for the G210M the day Nvidia did (I dont want to risk the nvidia release drivers as my friend totally destroyed all gaming capabilities on his laptop equiped with a Go7900GS. needless to say Toshiba sucks when it comes to driver updates) All in all, the VPCCW17FX is a great notebook at a great price Reply
Roland00 - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkNo intel Celeron t3000 dual core love?
It is the same chip as the intel pentium dual core t4200 except it runs at 1.8 ghz instead of 2.0 ghz and intel speedstep has been disabled (thus it won't get good battery life). Yet I seen this chip routinely in the 320 to 450 price range for laptops and it should blow away the competition in that price range.

JarredWalton - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkIs it really that much cheaper than the Pentium T4200/T4300 laptops? I see prices of $430 (Toshiba Satellite L455-S5980) to $500+ (Lenovo ThinkPad SL410/SL510), and that's not even with a well-equipped laptop (i.e. 2GB of RAM, 160GB HDD). The Lenovo G550 is 3GB, 250GB HDD, and T4300 for http://www.provantage.com/lenovo-2958acu~7LENO1EE....">$495 or so. It's obviously not a huge jump from 1.8GHz 1MB to 2.1GHz 1MB, but SpeeStep is a pretty big omission IMO. Reply
Roland00 - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkThe pentium t4200/t4300 will be about 50 dollars more on average. For example without any sale go to the Toshiba website and you can get a T3000, 2gb memory, 160 gb hd and wifi n For $400, it costs 44 more for the pentium dual core.
Now the whole point of the t3000 though is not to buy the laptop at the normal price, the same or similar laptop will go on sale. For example fry's has had a similar laptop to the toshiba but an msi 14 inch on sale a couple times for $319 (once) and $349 (twice). The msi also didn't use intel integrated graphics but instead the 8200m (half the speed of the ion but still 30 to 40% faster than the 4500m hd)
$319 is only 20 dollars more than those mythical $299 acers/hps that walmart was selling that was using the amd single core at 1.6 ghz (tf-20) Reply
Hrel - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkI've said it before on here I'd be glad to buy the ASUS UL80Vt if it only had a screen with a resolution of at least 1600x900 (decent quality screen required. like 1000:1 contrast ratio) The Intel SU9600 CPU instead with the same percentage overclock and the Nvidia GT240 GPU. Finally I'd like that laptop to cost less than 1000 dollars and get at least 7 hours internet battery life. If removing the integrated GPU and having only the dedicated GPU is required to keep the price down I'd be totally fine with that.
Or better yet, sell it with the integrated GPU, leave the slot and heatsink for the dedicated GPU and offer the dedicated GPU as an add on or after-market purchase on newegg. Reply
geok1ng - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI really don't get the idea behind the suggestion of the ASUS UL80Vt on the sub $850 range, when you can get the Dell Studio 14z: you get a better CPU, a better IGP ( and having Nvidia 210M as add on VGA isn't really a great improvement over the 9400M G)and a better battery for the same price range.
The problem is that outside Mac Books you simply dont get state of art notebook hardware: a C2D 45nm CPU, a 9400M G IGP and a small form factor. And a Non-TN LCDs is a dream. Reply
LongTimePCUser - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkFor many people the ul80vt is a much better solution than the Dell 14z.
The Dell 14z has a 5 hour battery life. The ul80vt has a 12 hour battery life.
The Dell 14z doesn't have a DVD player. The ul80vt has one. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkG210M is roughly twice the performance of 9400M G, and where 9400M still has games where it struggles, G210M can run everything, albeit at low details in some instances (i.e. Crysis @ LQ 1366x768 and 42.05FPS -- compare to 14z with 25FPS for the same setting, with a CPU that's running 38% faster). If you can get both the benefits of G210M performance with better battery life than 9400M, isn't that desirable?
As for non-TN panels, I believe you're mistaken. Everything out right now is TN on laptops. MacBooks used some IPS in the past, but that was several years ago. They have matte LCDs on the 15" and 17" MBP, but that's about it. Reply
Paulman - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI was very surprised to see no mention of the AMD Athlon Neo based netbooks, such as the MSI Wind U210 or the HP dv2 series. My brother got an MSI Wind U210 with the Athlon Neo processor several months ago, and it ran Windows Vista on 1GB of RAM decently and I think the prices was just under $400 CDN online at Future Shop here in Canada. This was a 12.1" netbook (1366x768 with a bright LED backlight) at ~1.5 kg in weight with a 6-cell battery. I recently upgraded it to Windows 7 and it's running nicely.
I quite like it, so I was disappointed to see that Athlon Neo-class products weren't even mentioned in this roundup. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkMy experience with Neo is limited, but battery life didn't appear to be in the same ballpark as Atom and CULV products. Neo is faster than Atom, but CULV is clearly faster (dual-core CULV at 1.2GHz easily beats single-core MV-40).
I guess it depends on what you're after. The MSI Wind U210 should get 3-5 hours of battery life at 100 nits. The HP dv2 with 4-cell battery looks like you'll get about two hours of Internet surfing, or 3 hours with the 6-cell upgrade. So if you're after battery life, Neo isn't an answer to Atom or CULV. However....
When Neo is paired with a decent GPU, you can get much better than Atom performance, but the price of the HP dv2 is too high (nearly as much as the ASUS UL80Vt and UL30Vt). The Wind U210 uses X1270 IGP, which is only slightly better than GMA 4500MHD in terms of performance. Still, the Wind U210 would be a better choice for Neo than the HP dv2... pairing a (relatively) low power CPU like Neo with a discrete GPU doesn't make much sense, unless you can turn the dGPU off and run on an IGP when you want (a la UL80Vt). Reply
rwrentf - Friday, December 11, 2009 - linkI posted a comment about the HP DM3 asking you how that would compare, and for some reason my comment is gone. The DM3 has a dual core neo (L335), 4GB ram, 7200 rpm hard drive and ATI HD3200 graphics. You say in your comment that the CULV is clearly faster, but I haven't seen any tests that back that up online. And Why would you compare the dual core CULV directly to a single core MV-40 when you can compare it to a dual core L335? Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, December 11, 2009 - linkI'd expect a 1.3GHz CULV (i.e. Pentium SU4100) to be roughly on par with the performance of the L335 (1.6GHz), and I would expect the L335 to use more power (18W TDP, but in my experience AMD chips run much closer to TDP than Intel chips). However, HD 3200 is still 2~3 times faster than GMA 4500MHD (though still too slow for gaming IMO).
I suppose the question is what sort of battery life you can get out of such a laptop compared to CULV options of a similar price. I found a comment from an HP representative (off Wal-mart) stating around 3 hours from the DM3, which is about half of what a typical $600 CULV will get, but elsewhere you see "up to 6 hours". If it can truly get 6 hours, it's definitely worth a look.
Incidentally, if I were to go with a DM3, I'd grab the Turion X2 L625 -- better power characteristics than the Athlon X2 L335. Reply
zefyr - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI commend you you on a thorough article. You've covered many of the laptops I've been looking at, and indeed have raised the same question "Any Good LCDs?" But, whats the answer? Especially if you plan on buying online. Can one find a high contrast LCD w good blacks like the Sony VAIO you mentioned and also get a gaming level NVIDIA GPU? Can it be done online w/o actually seeing it in person? I've almost bought both an ASUS g51vx and g71 for $800 or $900 respectively, until I realized the only thing they lack is a good LCD. Anyone, please post any suggestions. Reply
kawatwo - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI have the G71x from Best Buy and the viewing angle is not great but for just you sitting directly in front of the laptop it is not an issue. The bang for the buck is still amazing. Don't know how long it will take for someone to come out with a 280m for ~ 1500, maybe never. I'm happy with the 260m though. Reply
fyleow - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkThe Studio XPS 13 is a better comparison to the MBP than the Studio 14z IMO. The XPS 13 and MBP both have the same screen size, optical drive, and better build quality. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkIt's a different comparison which is more favorable towards the MacBook pricing, but the XPS laptops have always been a premium part. Given the price, I'd actually take the 14z, but some will prefer the XPS 13 with the slot-load DVD.
It looks like you get about the same features for the same price, but Dell will get you 4GB plus the ability to upgrade quite a few other parts. I'd imagine the XPS 13 will need the 9-cell battery to match the MacBook battery life.
LCD quality I can't say, since I haven't had a chance to look at either laptop in person. I'm guessing the XPS 13 is better than the 13" MacBook and possibly the 13" MacBook Pro. I know the other XPS laptops have generally had decent LCDs at least. Reply
Drag0nFire - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkThanks for the article. Clearly a lot of thought went into the recommendations at each price point.
For future reviews, I was wondering if it might be practical to do a review of tablet technology? I evaluated the options a few years ago and decided it wasn't worth it. But Win7 brings some exciting new opportunities...
Thanks! Reply
jabber - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkGot mine delivered a few weeks ago. 1.3Ghz CULV works a treat, really slick and teamed with 4GB of ram, a 320GB 7200rpm HDD and a Geforce 105M grahics it zings. Joy of joys it has a decent sized screen and a DVD burner. Ran it yesterday at work for 7 hours and it still had 2 hours+ left to run when I got home.
Playing Eve online I get around 40FPS at high quality settings and 60+ at mid settings.
CULV is the way to go. Reply
Mk4ever - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkSince their release, I haven't heard a word about them at Anand's.
Do you hate them? Are they stealth to your radar?
The HP Smart Touch tx2 has a lot of features that are not available on anything else. And afaik, it still has the best IGP/GPU on a Tablet PC.
Popular, cheapest tablet, small size, good balance of performance/options...
Are you willing to look into it? Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkThanks for the comment. Tablets are certainly something to mention, and I'll see about updating post-conclusion tomorrow.
Personally, I've never been sold on the tablet concept. I've used a couple and came away unimpressed... it's not a feature I feel I need. So yeah, I pretty much overlooked the category.
Getting the price down is certainly a bonus, and the tx2z is about the cheapest I've seen for a tablet. I'm not sure if having a better GPU really makes a difference, but the HD 3200 is certainly 2-3 times faster in graphics tests than the GMA 4500MHD. For under $1000 for a reasonable configuration, it looks good for those that want a tablet PC.
At least one review (CNet) for the tx2z says that the tablet input is sluggish, and battery life is mediocre with the default 6-cell battery (around 3 hours). The 8-cell battery can get about 5 hours of battery life, but it juts out the bottom of the chassis and that's not a good feature for a tablet IMO.
At present, I don't know that there's much more to be said. If HP offered to send one, I'd look at it, but they haven't sent much of anything to us (the HP Mini 311 came direct from NVIDIA). Reply
Mk4ever - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkAll the points you mentioned are absolutely valid. I'll add some points from my experience.
I decided to get a small notebook with good IGP a bit more than a year ago. My best option was a ATI 3200 IGP, and I wanted a 12' notebook max. My only option at the time was HP tx2510us. It was a tablet. I didn't like that fact, but it was my only option. It was offered for around $950 back then.
The tablet part turned out to be a great bonus indeed, that I can not overlook in a future purchase. I still rarely use the touch, but it is really useful when using Adobe Illustrator, and for commenting on word documents or solving math problems without a calc (to train my lazy brain) or taking notes. Also flipping the screen alone adds to the portability of the PC, as you can handle it easier when you are standing up or walking, or even wanna read a pdf or a file like how you would hold a book while reading.
The thing is, for the price, the flipping screen and the touch part can be considered as a free bonus. It can be really useful. If you don't like it, simply don't use it, and it is still a great notebook.
I agree with the abysmal battery life, but to tell the truth, and from my experience, it is in line with what most low/midrange laptop batteries offer. And my battery life saw an improvement with Win7.
The HP tx series is popular. When my friend got me my tablet (I live in Middle east where the model wasn't available, he bought it for me from Circuit City or Wall Mart I guess), he told me he saw 2 other people buying the same tablet at that moment. Reviews of how convenient it is for guys in colleges fill the internet. They like the portability of it with the screen flipped to take notes during lectures.
Also, HP tx2 series is especially interesting to review for 2 reasons: One of the few that support multi-touch ( Windows 7 finally supports that feature, and I guess it's worth reviewing this feature on a Technology website, whether it's bad or good, so we know what to expect), and because it has an AMD Turion Ultra, which I haven't seen reveiwed on Anadtech ( it should at least be compared to regular Turions, to test energy savings and battery performance claims to say the least, don't you think?)
I hope you will consider reviewing an HP tx2, if you get the chance. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkThanks for the feedback. Multi-touch on tablet might make it more useful, though I honestly don't like the idea of touching my screen... fingerprints, bad! :) I've actually tried (several times) to get a laptop with a Turion Ultra. Now I'm looking for Turion II Ultra. I'm hoping AMD can help out, but HP I think is one of the few currently making laptops with Turion II Ultra CPUs, and the big OEM thing can be a problem. We'll keep at it, though.... Reply

Blahman - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkIf you thought the UL80Vt was good, check out its newer slimmer brother: the UL30Vt. It shares all the same specs, but better build quality and all packed into a thinner, lighter chassis.
It's available from Amazon for $800. The reviews so far are very positive.

trickdaddy111m - Tuesday, December 08, 2009 - linkThe UL30Vt does look very nice, but it lacks discrete graphics and the Turbo function of the UL80Vt. So, "same specs" is not accurate. Reply
KikassAssassin - Wednesday, December 09, 2009 - linkThe UL30Vt has turbo and the discrete graphics. The specs are exactly the same as the UL80Vt except it has a 1" smaller screen, no optical drive, and a slightly smaller battery.
You're probably looking at the UL30A. Reply
KikassAssassin - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkThe UL30Vt looks like a really nice alternative if you want something lighter than the UL80Vt and you don't need an optical drive. Unfortunately, the UL30Vt on Amazon is the X1 model that only has a 4400 mAh battery, compared to the UL80Vt-A1's 5600 mAh battery, so it'll only have about 80% of the battery life. The battery life should still be excellent, just not quite as amazing as the UL80Vt's Reply

bsoft16384 - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI just want to give another shout out for the Acer 1410. This is an absolutely fantastic notebook for $400.
I have the single-core version (Core 2 Solo SU3500, 1.4GHz, 3M cache) so it's somewhat faster on single-threaded code but slower on multi-threaded code than the Celeron SU2300 (1.2GHz, 1M cache). That said, I have no performance complaints about the laptop.
GPU performance is, as you would expect, pretty bad. But it's still dramatically ahead of a GMA950-based netbook (around 5X by my estimations), which makes it fine for playing older titles like Warcraft III, CS 1.6, UT classic or 2004, Quake 3 / OpenArena, Half-Life.
Even WoW runs "OK" on the Acer 1410, as long as you're willing to deal with ~20-30 FPS and a slideshow in Dalaran. But you *can* run it, and it's fine for doing dailies or checking the AH. I have my desktop if I want to play for real.
The keyboard is excellent, except for the page up/down buttons (which are annoyingly above the arrow keys) and home/end (combined with page up / down). Other than those annoyances, the keyboard is full-sized and has the layout that you would expect.
The screen is decently bright; contrast is "OK" but not great, and the viewing angle is lame (but so are most laptops). It's easily better than my ThinkPad T61.
There are some surprises port-wise: the 1410 has HDMI (with 8-channel LPCM audio) and the audio-out port does SPDIF/TOSLINK (with a 3.5mm to TOSLINK adapter), neither of which are common on a $400 laptop.
The WiFi is Intel 5100 802.11n, which is also nice. Ethernet is Atheros, audio is Realtek.
As you would expect with an ULV notebook, the 1410 doesn't really ever get hot, even at 100% CPU / GPU. It's not particularly noisy either, unless you have a defective fan (as my first one from Amazon did).
The 1410 takes forever to charge from empty (2.5 hours if off, 3-4 if on). That's because it uses the same 30W power supply as the Aspire One. On the other hand, the power adapter is very small and decently cheap, both of which are pluses.
Battery life is 5-6 hours, depending on how hard you push the machine. At idle, at minimum brightness, Windows reports over 12 hours, but you can't achieve this in practice. With light web browsing and Flashblock, expect 6+ hours.
The touchpad is Synaptics, and does multi-touch.
This system is the smallest, lightest system that I would consider a 'notebook' rather than a 'netbook'. I considered the HP Mini 311, but it maxes out at 3GB and doesn't support x86-64 or virtualization, plus the Core 2 Solo beats the pants off of the Atom. NVIDIA ION isn't really a whole lot better than the GMA X4500MHD, because the Atom CPU prevents you from playing any modern games anyway and the GMA X4500 does fine for Windows Aero and HD video acceleration.
Two years ago the Aspire 1410 would have cost $2000 and would be called an 'ultralight'. Today it's $400. Reply

notanakin - Monday, December 07, 2009 - linkUnfortunately this guide came out just a few days too late, but fortunately I'd settled on the Acer 1410 (SU2300) and it's a nice little machine. Certainly fast enough for simple tasks and for my old eyes the screen size is better than the 10.1 inchers.
Here's a very useful link to a table of laptops/CPUs/Screen size prepared for the recent PC Show in Singapore where I bought the laptop. Great for doing some quick comparisons.
(Prices are in Singapore $ - about US$1=S$1.4, so the prices are a bit more expensive than in the USA, but they give some discounts off the published price and throw in stuff - I got an external DVD-writer plus a few smaller things with the Acer.)
But how I HATE the glossy screen. Are they cheaper than matte screens or what? I'd gladly pay US$50 more for a matte screen. Reply

Roland00 - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI seconded this, I just bought the dual core su2300 model, and have no complaints so far about it besides the horrible viewing vertical angles due to the tn panel and glossy.
I am very surprised on how fast the processor is for normal every day tasks. It isn't my overclocked I7 but for most everyday tasks you wouldn't care about the difference. This is what my opinon the netbook experience was supposed to be, save the atoms for things such as cell phones, gps, blu ray players etc. Reply
ImSpartacus - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI tried my best to goad my parents into getting my little sister a 1410 for her first laptop back when the SU2300 model was $399 (free shipping) on Newegg. They didn't want to buy it early.
Then it ballooned to $409 (no free shipping) and they felt cheated.
They ended up getting a bare-bones SL410 for it's ruggedness. Reply
AgeOfPanic - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkIt ballooned by 10 dollars? 10 Dollars is not ballooning, it's 10 dollars. Reply
bennyg - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkShipping.
Just to compound your useless comment with another. Reply
GoodRevrnd - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI have much interest in the 1410 and am thinking it might be a good replacement laptop for my g/f. It is ridiculous what you get in this thing considering what I paid for my Vaio Z a year ago (granted the screen on it is to die for). Reply
KikassAssassin - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkI'm curious about your statement that "(it takes about three seconds to turn off the discrete GPU and 15 seconds to turn it back on)" on the UL80Vt, because that hasn't been my experience at all. My UL80Vt takes the same amount of time to switch from the Intel to the nVidia GPU as it does to switch from the nVidia to the Intel GPU: About three to four seconds, both ways.
The only time I've had it take longer is if I have a 3D game running when I try to switch graphics modes, in which case it forces me to close the game before it'll switch. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkWell, I can't even verify the time right now, since after updating the Intel and NVIDIA drivers I can't get the Hybrid GPU feature to work. Need to fix that and then I'll confirm, but I know that it took significantly longer to enable G210M at least the few times where I paid attention. I'll confirm when I get the driver situation sorted out. :) Reply
feelingshorter - Sunday, December 06, 2009 - linkTry doing the test with all programs closed since i suspect that your running the flash 10.1 with GPU support, or even programs like the Zune software uses GPU acceleration. These little things might affect it. Maybe even having Win7 Aero on/off might make a difference. Looking forward to the full review of UL80Vt.
Now back to studying exams at 4:10 AM... Reply

Flip the Frog was one of the most original cartoon characters of the 1930s.
Ub Iwerks, the creator of Flip the Frog, started with Walt Disney and animated the first several Mickey Mouse cartoons; then he split off on his own and created Flip the Frog, one of the most memorable of all 1930s cartoon characters. When Flip failed to catch on with the public — he was simply too far ahead of his time — Iwerks eventually rejoined the Disney organization, doing special effects work on Disney animated features and cartoons, and also creating the special effects for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963).
In addition, Iwerks pioneered the use of the Xerox process to transfer line drawings on paper to clear plastic cels for animation, thus eliminating the "inking" process in classical animation; the results can be seen in such films as One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961). Iwerks won two Academy Awards for his work.
As Steve Hulett wrote, "Ub Iwerks was Walt's strong right arm in the 1920s. He was a designer and work-horse animator on the early Disney shorts, considered so valuable that he was a 20% owner of the studio. But the 20% ownership ended when Iwerks departed Walt Disney Productions after a falling out with the majority owner. Bankrolled by movie mogul Pat Powers, Iwerks developed the frog character above, but within a few years flamed out as an animation kingpin and returned to Disney's." It's too bad. Flip is, to my mind at least, much more interesting, and more varied, than Mickey Mouse.

Hair loss due to anesthesia

Wimmer, Richardson Lead Liberty to NCAA Regional Victory over Clemson
|Trey Wimmer crosses home plate after hitting his fifth home run of the year. The catcher had a career-high six RBIs in the contest.
Catcher Trey Wimmer knocked in a career-high six runs and right-hander Josh Richardson pitched his third complete game of the year, leading the Big South Champion Liberty Flames past the Clemson Tigers, 8-3, in Game 1 of the NCAA Columbia, S.C. Regional at Carolina Stadium.
Wimmer drove in a career-high six runs with two hits, a two-run double and three-run home run to go along with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Playing in his home state, the Greenwood, S.C., native connected for his fifth round tripper of the year in the sixth inning to give Liberty a five-run cushion at the time.
After the third inning, Liberty starter Josh Richardson proceeded to handcuff the Tiger batters, holding Clemson scoreless during the following five innings, allowing the Flames to build an advantage. Starting with the second out of the third inning, Richardson retired the next 17 Clemson hitters until right fielder Steven Duggar doubled to open the bottom of the ninth.
Richardson went the distance for the third time this season. The right-hander moves his record to 4-4. He gave up three runs on six hits over the full nine innings. He struck out one and did not walk a batter.
Third baseman Jake Kimble also collected three hits to tie his career-high and scored two runs for the Flames.
Playing in its first regional since 2000, Liberty runs it record to 35-27 on the year and advances to play the winner of this evening's contest between Saint Louis and regional host South Carolina at 8 p.m. tomorrow, which will be televised on ESPN 2.
Clemson drops to 39-21 and will play the loser of Saint Louis and South Carolina in an elimination game at 2 p.m.
With the win, Liberty records its first NCAA Regional victory since May, 27 2000, when the Flames defeated Seton Hall, 10-2, at the Columbia, S.C. Regional.
Big South Champion Liberty, the visiting team on the scoreboard due to its lower seed, jumped out to an early advantage by plating a run its first at bat. Right fielder Ashton Perritt led off the game by lining a ground rule double into the left-center field gap. After moving to third base on a ground out by center fielder Ryan Cordell, Perritt scored on a sacrifice fly by Wimmer for 1-0 edge.
Clemson answered with a run in the bottom of the inning. Center fielder Thomas Brittle reached on a fielding error by Flames second baseman Bryan Aanderud. The next batter, second baseman Steve Wilkerson, moved Brittle to third base with a hit-and-run single. Right fielder Steven Duggar followed with a run-scoring single to tie the game at 1-1.
After a scoreless second, Liberty struck for two more runs in the top of the third. Third baseman Jake Kimble opened the inning with a sharply-hit single to right field. Perritt then reached when his sacrifice bunt was mishandled by Tiger third baseman Shane Kennedy, moving Kimble to second. Wimmer followed by hammering a double into the right-center field gap, scoring both runners for a 3-1 advantage.
In the bottom of the frame, Clemson countered with a run. Brittle began the inning with a single. Two batters later, right fielder Steven Duggar lined a single into center field to plate Brittle, trimming the Liberty lead to 3-2.
First baseman Alex Close extended the Flames' advantage, leading off the fourth. Close opened the frame by ripping his third home run of the year into the bleachers in left field to give Liberty a 4-2 edge.
The Flames had a chance to extend its lead by loading the bases in the fifth, but came away empty. Wimmer reached on a throwing error by Tiger second baseman Wilkerson to begin the inning and advanced to second on a single by designated hitter Danny Grauer. Three batters later, Close walked to fill the sacks with Flames. However, Clemson relief pitcher Kyle Schnall retired the next Liberty batter to end the threat.
In the sixth, Wimmer belted his home run to up the Flames' lead. Kimble led off the inning with an infield single. Two batters later, Cordell walked. Wimmer followed with a blast over the left field, give Liberty a 7-2 lead.
The Flames added an insurance run in the eighth. With one out, Perritt singled to center field and stole second. Cordell followed with a double down the left field line to bring home Perritt for an 8-2 advantage.
Clemson plated a run in the ninth for the final score of 8-3.
Liberty had 13 hits in the game. Close, Perritt and Sizemore added two hits apiece for the Flames.

cranberry potato and kidney bean salad photo by vsimon
In our big backyard garden, we grew cranberry potatoes. They are red skinned with pinkish flesh. I thought, what could we do with potatoes? Potato salad! And since it's chilly outside, warm potato salad!
I had made Garlicky Green Bean and Potato Salad this summer and liked it so much, I thought what can I do to expand on that recipe? How can I showcase cranberry potatoes? What could I change in the recipe to make it unique and delicious?
Dried cranberries, red onions, rosemary, kidney beans!
The potatoes and kidney beans are smooth and creamy. The dried cranberries are chewy and sweet. The red onion is red and crisp. The vinegar is tangy. The rosemary is fragrant and flavorful. It is all good.
The cranberry potatoes we dug for this recipe are only slightly pink. Sometimes the flesh is very pink. Cranberry potatoes taste just like regular red skinned potatoes with white flesh. So buy whatever kind the store has, any red skinned potato will work here.
This recipe is simple, all you need to cook is the potatoes. They are 3 minutes quick in a pressure cooker. Or about 15 minutes on the stovetop.

"My call to every senator, as well as to every American, is this," he said. "We cannot be afraid of the future. And we must not be prisoners of the past. Don't believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth."
The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us.
... Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.
The collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans.
On Friday, the day of the vote, the Competitive Enterprise Institute said it was releasing "an internal study on climate science which was suppressed by the Environmental Protection Agency."
In the release, the institute's Richard Morrison said "internal EPA e-mail messages, released by CEI earlier in the week, indicate that the report was kept under wraps and its author silenced because of pressure to support the administration's agenda of regulating carbon dioxide."If there was any trace of doubt as to Obama's true intentions, this looming Carbongate scandal ought to erase that for good... and they'll be plenty of time to explore what went on there before the Senate debates this misguided legislation in the fall. It's clearly the tax revenue that interests Obama, in addition to his own political security- not saving the earth, creating green jobs, or whatever other jive he's frantically laying on us to get this passed. This "amounts to the largest tax increase in American history under the guise of climate change," declared Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind).
Is global climate-change truly a reason for concern... or a comprehensive scam promoted by the left? I sure have no way of knowing, and the theory of it is entirely possible... no doubt. But the promotion of man-made global warming as a Gore-esque forgone conclusion is certainly a complete hoax; it simply has not been proven in the sort of conclusive manner that would necessitate such sweeping changes and unparalleled tax increases in the midst of a major recession. But many conservatives are willing to talk about it... a lot more than can be said for the president. And of course, our industrial rivals the Chinese and Indians couldn't be less interested.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste" said the ever-calculating serial-opportunist Rahm Emanuel... and even a false one will do, apparently, if well orchestrated.
Obama and Pelosi have not made a convincing argument, to say the least- apparently didn't see it as necessary, and never even tried... exactly the same as with their profligate "stimulus" legislation that seems to have done nothing but spike the unemployment rate. Small wonder then that the Democrats have chosen to employ identical underhanded, bad-faith legislative tactics with this bill: present a large portion on it in the middle of the night, steamroll right-over GOP concerns, attack critics aggressively, suppress all conflicting evidence... and above all don't let anyone read it until it is already chiseled in stone.
If they somehow scrape-up the votes for this bill -or anything resembling it- in the Senate later this year, I look for brave GOP legislators -those who want to lead us into 2010 and beyond- to filibuster this pig right into the ground.

A9 TV; 11 January 2012
Good people must always protect and watch over one another. They must love one another and treat one another well and with affection. Because it is a great blessing to be with other people. A very great blessing. I get a lot of messages from ladies saying, "How nice it would be if we could be friends." "If only…" they say. Because such a life is very pleasant. Thanks be to Allah, masha'Allah. One hears no evil talk or lies. No lies or slanders. Everything is investigated first and people are careful to speak as well as possible. People strive to behave as rationally as possible. The unity and union of the nation and the homeland has become a cause. There is the ideal of Great Turkey, the ideal of Turkish-Islamic Union. Above all, there is the desire for Allah's approval, to attain the paradise of Allah. We pray for Allah to grant this, of course. Everyone strives for everyone else to be well and happy. They take pride in and rejoice at others' wealth, or beauty. Do you know how much suffering a woman's beauty gives under unbelief? Many people suffer when they see one's beauty. "You have to beat a tree that gives ripe fruit," as they say. That is why there has always been opposition to good people. To all the prophets and guides and those who strive on Allah's path. Because it is difficult to be good in this world, but easy to be evil. Evil can quickly gain strength. But it is really hard to be good and honest. You must not lie, you have to be altruistic and loyal.
(In response to a viewer's e-mail reading "Since the planets are not habitable, why were they created?")
In the same way one cannot live under the soil. Allah shows His might there. To show how He can create worlds if He so wishes; but He says "make a comparison." "I could have covered it [this world] with sulfur dioxide, or with nitric acid, or I could create at minus 150 degrees or minus 200 or 300 degrees, or else at plus 2000 degrees," He is saying. "See the difference. Give proper thanks for this, with fine moral values, in such a way as to deserve this blessing, this beauty," says Almighty Allah. Because the world is like a lovely, sweet child walking through a forest. That is how Allah has created it. He has created its surroundings with a lot of noise and hubbub, but He has created this world to be very calm and sweet. He has adorned it with lovely people, lovely birds, rabbits, ducks and lovely fruit trees, and sparkling waters. But then we look at Neptune and Pluto and the rest. The sky is filled with sulfur dioxide, or consists of a cloud of nitric acid. Like hell. With a heat of 400 or 800 degrees, or minus 200 degrees. With mountains made of frozen chemical substances. Or else covered in highly toxic gasses. But if you speak to a living thing there and say, "Look, there are clouds of nitric acid here, how do you survive?" it will answer, "But what if I had lived on Earth? May Allah forbid. I could not have survived in all that oxygen there." "Here I have this lovely nitric acid," it would say. Go and ask the djinns there. They are completely happy. Minus 300 degrees is like a vacation in Miami for them. These things are relative. An extraordinarily blessed home for one life form or spirit would be a total nightmare for us. They would see our seas and be repelled and horrified by them and say, "May Allah forbid. Just one drop of that would destroy me." Or carbon dioxide. "One tiny bit of carbon dioxide would destroy me," they would say. "Even the smell is unbearable," they would say. We are breathing and smelling this air here now, and are perfectly comfortable. But carbon dioxide could smell disgusting to another life. Oxygen might have been a really terrifying substance and cause the most awful suffering. It could have been a substance that tore the body apart when it entered it. But for us, Allah makes the air have a mild, pleasant smell and taste, so people talk about "this lovely fresh air." But it could have burned our lungs. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen might have smelled really horrible. There is a high proportion of nitrogen, and that might have harmed up. But it causes us no discomfort at all. We have carbon dioxide and nitrogen and oxygen. Chemical gasses normally smell really vile. But there are these three gasses and none has any smell at all. They have been specially created by Allah. When we see the horror there we compare it with the tranquility on Earth, and we can thus imagine what hell is like. If Allah were to take someone's soul and plant it on Pluto or Neptune, he would be devastated. But we come to this Earth with its buildings and children running around, rabbits jumping about, banana trees, orange trees, olive and plum trees, melons all over the place, water melons, tomatoes and peppers. With its beautiful women and lovely children. Beauty emerges in the presence of opposites. When you make a picture, for instance, you may set it against a black background so it stands out better. And Allah has placed this Earth against a frightening background so that we may regard it as a blessing. And we look at it and give thanks every day. For example, asteroids rain down on the Moon every day, just like rain. They also rain down on other stars. If you look, you will see they have all been rounded down by the constant bombardment. Asteroids rain down on them. Have you ever seen an asteroid. There are millions of them all around the Earth, but not one ever hits us. They melt away like butter up in the air. Allah makes everything lovely for us, and produces color and illuminates the world. People even talk about getting together to have fun and watching meteor showers. Allah has turned them into a source of entertainment and beauty. But go to the other stars and see if there is any fun going on there. It is terrifying there. For instance, an explosion takes place on the Sun and the flames leap up millions of kilometers. It is all hugely terrifying. But here there is a wondrous tranquility. Allah is reminding us of what He could have done. For those people who can understand, insha'Allah.
I look at some places of entertainment and they are not safe. People are uneasy in them. For one thing, some people look really suspicious. You get crazies and mafia types and criminal types. Dangerous kinds of people. You cannot be sure of anyone. There are perverts around. But, insha'Allah, there will be places where people can enjoy themselves and be safe in the future. There are some safe places, of course, in Turkey. It is not as if there are none at all. I am thinking of the other kind.
I have ensured there is now nowhere that Islam has not entered, thanks be to Allah. Looking, something has happened that has never happened before. Not even members can enter the greatest masonic lodge in America. Only 33rd degree masons can enter. But we spent hours there talking about Islam. We have entered the most secret masonic lodges and told them all about Islam and the Qur'an. And we are still doing so. We loudly discussed Islam on America's most important military bases, its most secret places. And we shall again continue to do so. We give many thanks for that, thanks be to Allah. Allah has created me to be courageous. Masha'Allah, alhamdulillah. Allah provides such opportunities, insha'Allah.2012-02-19 18:18:26

Prize Recipient
Kendall Cole
University of Texas at Austin
My name is Kendall Cole from Lufkin, Texas and I attend the University of Texas at Austin. I originally became intrigued in math and science as a kid through my picture books of the stars and galaxies. I loved the fact whenever I looked into the night sky at the stars I was gazing years into the past, or even the fact that these stellar objects are trillions of miles away, yet observable to the naked eye. As I grew, these interests matured into more specific questions, like what process gave the stars their light or how something like the gravity of a black hole could even trap light itself. This interest in what scientists knew so much but yet so little about, is what led me to physics. Physics allows me to see the world not only for what it is but of the number and equations that determine it, and the challenges and discoveries yet to be made in it, drive me to push towards and exceed my limitations.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A judge on Thursday granted the attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez, who's suing Casey Anthony for defamation, permission to obtain the address of Anthony's secret location.
Anthony's attorneys have 10 days to turn over her location, which will not be made public.
Gonzalez's attorneys want to subpoena Anthony, 26, in the civil lawsuit, which is scheduled to begin in January.
Gonzalez's attorneys want Anthony to attend the trial and plan to question her, even if she intends to plead the Fifth Amendment.
"I don't know what she's going to do, but I hope she changes her mind and I get to ask her some questions," said Gonzalez's attorney Keith Mitnik. "But if she doesn't, she can come in there and we're going to have her take the 5th, providing the judge allows it, take the stand and take the 5th in front of those jurors."
"At the very least, she can take a few days out of her time and sit in that courtroom and see the fallout of what happened.
Anthony's attorney, Charles Greene, maintains that Gonzalez doesn't have grounds for the defamation trial.
"This plaintiff is not her, will the real ZFG please stand up, because I can't find her," Greene said. "We should really be more worried about her (the real ZFG) showing up in this case instead of some plaintiff pretending to be her."
Anthony, who was found not guilty of murder last summer in the death of her daughter, Caylee, told authorities that Caylee had been kidnapped by a baby sitter who had a similar name to Gonzalez. During Anthony's murder trial, however, her defense team said Caylee had drowned in the family swimming pool.
Anthony, who's on probation on unrelated check fraud charges, has been hiding in an undisclosed Florida location since being released from jail in July.
Anthony's defense team says Gonzalez is using the lawsuit as a publicity stunt.
"She's enjoying her 15 minutes of infamy-and she'll get more if Casey Anthony is there so she can get herself on TV," Greene said. "Because everybody knows it'll be a lot more interesting with Casey there."

Often, there are no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. Vision may seem unchanged until the disease becomes severe. Eventually, the vision of a person with diabetic retinopathy may become blurred or blocked entirely. But even in more advanced cases the disease may progress without symptoms for a long time. That is why regular eye exams are so important for people with diabetes.
Early treatment of serious diabetic retinopathy can improve the chance of saving your sight. For some people, diabetic retinopathy may be one of the first signs that they have diabetes. Adults and children who have diabetes should have a dilated eye exam at least once a year.
If you have diabetic retinopathy, you may need to visit an eye doctor more often than once a year. This helps the doctor monitor the disease and determine the best treatment options. The eye doctor can decide if you need an eye exam more often.
At a complete eye exam, called a dilated eye exam, the eye doctor widens the pupil of the eye with eye drops to allow a closer look at the inside of the eye. This exam may not be part of an eye exam for a new pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Dilated Eye Exam
Credit: National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health
The blood vessels in the eyes cannot be distinguished from the surrounding structure of the eye in conventional imaging techniques. Doctors can however document potential damage caused by diabetic retinopathy by injecting a substance that "lights up" the veins. This simple procedure provides a clear picture of the retinal blood vessels for diagnosis.

Now is the perfect time of year to make soup – we can almost see breath clouds while walking to school in the morning (it takes a lot of huffing), pumpkins are stacked on front stoops and the maples are showing off their fall colors.
Plus, Thanksgiving is right around the corner – I just placed my order for a pasture-raised turkey. Now I need to get busy planning our menu. Since we don't have a huge family gathering and the duty to provide everybody's habitual favorite side dishes, I try different recipes from year to year, just to keep things interesting. I'm craving chiles this year, for some reason, and might roast this Southwestern-inspired turkey.
This soup will be great on our holiday table. Made with my all-time favorite fall ingredient, butternut squash, it's so smooth and rich-tasting you might think it's loaded with butter and cream, but no worries! It's completely dairy-free. The secret to its plush, velvety texture is in the ratio of vegetables to broth, and the addition of a little bit of potato for body.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small non-starchy potato (such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss), peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 4 - 5 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh herbs and toasted nuts, to garnish (optional)
- Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and ginger; cook 5 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the squash, potato, honey, stock and orange juice and zest; season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then adjust heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and cook until the squash is soft when pierced with a fork.
- Puree the soup in batches in a blender or with an immersion hand blender until very smooth.
- Garnish with fresh chopped herb leaves (such as chives, basil or parsley) and chopped toasted nuts, if you like.

Chairman Corker, Ranking Member Cardin, and Members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today to discuss U.S. policy and international commitments with regard to Afghanistan. It is an honor to appear before you with the U.S. Department of State's Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Ambassador Richard Olson.
USAID has been working closely with partners across the U.S. government to implement our collective response to the Zika outbreak. This collaboration aims to minimize the number of pregnancies affected by Zika virus transmission. Together, U.S. government agencies plan to undertake surveillance efforts to identify the progression of the Zika virus, diagnose infections when they occur, provide care and support for pregnant women who have been identified as having contracted the Zika virus, and take efforts to prevent further infections. We are also working jointly to accelerate innovation and research across each of these categories of response.
This is a momentous time for global development: Over the last thirty years, the number of people living in extreme poverty has been cut in half, and now - for the first time in history - ending extreme poverty is within reach. It is also a time of complex humanitarian crises and great upheaval, so the stakes have never been higher for us to obtain maximum development results for each precious taxpayer dollar.
Corruption takes on many forms, from the bribery of public officials to collusion in public procurement to the wholesale theft of government assets. Although its different forms may cause varying degrees of harm, corruption as a whole tears at the fabric of society and hinders inclusive economic growth and democratic governance. Additionally, corruption poses major security risks to the United States, often enabling radicalization and violent extremism and fueling political instability and conflict. That is why President Obama views corruption as a fundamental obstacle to peace, prosperity, and human rights, and our Administration has sought to elevate anti-corruption efforts across our foreign policy and development agendas.
As the United States' lead development agency, USAID plays a critical role in the U.S. Government's strategy to stem the tide of corruption and hold to account all those who exploit the public trust for private gain. Our work takes us to every corner of the world, where we have seen firsthand the devastating impacts corruption can have on people, communities, and countries. But, encouragingly, we are also seeing new and promising trends on which to build.
Across all 12 Pacific island countries, USAID assistance focuses on climate change adaptation, greater disaster preparedness and providing relief when disasters do strike. In the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands, we also assist in reconstruction from disasters. In Papua New Guinea, USAID supports biodiversity conservation and improved natural resource management, helps combat HIV/AIDS and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and works to strengthen democracy, peace and security in the post-conflict Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Through our regional programming, we also support sustainable fisheries management and conservation.
The United States has put gender equality and the advancement of women and girls at the forefront of the three pillars of our foreign policy–diplomacy, development, and defense. This is embodied in President Obama's National Security Strategy, the Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development, and the 2010 and 2015 U.S. Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Reviews. But more must be done. Women's empowerment is critical to USAID's core mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies while addressing pressing health and education challenges.
The President's Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget request of $164.1 million for Department of State and USAID foreign assistance in Central Asia reflects an increased commitment to American engagement in this strategically important region. The request would enable USAID to build on recent momentum in the U.S.-Central Asia relationship developed through Secretary of State John Kerry's historic November 2015 trip, during which he emphasized the United States' strong commitment to the prosperity, sovereignty, stability and security of the five Central Asian countries, including through regional integration as promoted by the recently launched "C5+1" framework between the five Central Asian countries and the United States.
USAID has long played an important role in Europe and Eurasia, which has seen considerable advances in freedom, security, and prosperity over the past quarter century. Twelve countries have transitioned from receiving U.S. assistance, successfully integrating into the Euro-Atlantic community through institutions such as NATO and the European Union (EU). Many of these countries are now important U.S. partners and allies in the region and around the world. Yet the region's transformation remains incomplete; progress is uneven in key areas, important achievements are at risk and, in a few cases, we are seeing regression.
Before I begin, I want to thank both of you as well as the members of this Subcommittee for your continued support and leadership on nutrition and food security. In particular, I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for sponsoring the Global Food Security Act, which demonstrates the U.S. Government's commitment to reducing global poverty and hunger through increased food security and improved nutrition.
In the Europe and Eurasia region, states weakened by corruption are more susceptible to malign pressure and manipulation from the Russian Federation and other countries, as any semblance of a rules-based order often seems to take a back seat to power, influence, and greed including oligarchs, whose geopolitical goals do not respect international commitments to transparency, rule of law, and fair play. Finally, endemic corruption threatens states by depriving them of the most important resource of any democratic government -- the trust and confidence of its citizens. Where public trust is absent, there can be little expectation of the cooperation of citizens with government to build resilient democracies, let alone do what is needed to counter emerging threats like violent extremism.
For these reasons the Administration sees addressing the problem of corruption, and the need for open, effective, representative governance as a significant priority.

The next big spring Costume exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art – the one that has the difficult job of following in the footsteps of "Savage Beauty," this year's Alexander McQueen show that broke every record for a costume show – will focus on Elsa Schiaparelli, the surreal designer from the 1930s, and Miuccia Prada, the intellectual of the late 20th/21st century, and be underwritten by none other than Amazon. This makes it the first costume show not to be sponsored by a fashion brand. Unless…Amazon wants people to think of it as a fashion brand?

Moving implant, body nets advance at ISSCC
4 comments
SAN FRANCISCO Medical electronics researchers showed advances in self-propelled implants and body area networks at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
Stanford researchers described two methods for using magnetic fields to propel a millimeter-sized device through fluid at half a centimeter per second. They aim to open up a wide array of new medical applications for tiny remote-controlled implants.
A senior engineer from Toumaz Ltd. described a prototype transceiver that integrates 802.15.6 and Bluetooth Low Energy radios to enable body area networks (BANs). Separately, researchers described a BAN chip that could harvest up to 100 microwatts from the temperature of the human body.
Stanford PhD student Anatoly Yakovlev tapped into the vision of the 1966 movie Fantastic Voyage, describing two methods for moving a 0.6mm2 chip wirelessly through a fluid. The techniques assumed a patient would lie on a magnetized bed generating a 0.1 Tesla field while a care provider used a 2W transmitter to control forward motion of a 3x4 millimeter implant.
Yakovlev showed videos of both methods. Researchers showed Stanford medical center physicians who specialize in cardiovascular ablation surgeries a version of the device used to guide a wired catheter.
The current device can only generate forward motion and is too large for use in animal tests. Looking ahead hopefully sub-millimeter devices are possible, and there are some challenges to solve, but at this stage we just want to demo propulsion, said Yakovlev.
Medical electronics companies will want a new and smaller prototype suitable for animal testing before they engage with the technology, he said. In parallel, Yakovlev and colleagues hope to design a version with bi-directional links to better monitor and control motion of the device.
The paper and earlier ones on the technology were co-authored with Stanford professor Teresa Meng, a wireless pioneer who co-found Wi-Fi vendor Atheros. Researchers believe the techniques could be used for more precise drug delivery, diagnostics and microsurgery.

Thought I'd share a few links to some Leipzig coverage of Fallout 3 from the past week.
Spanish gaming site HardGame2.com seems to have enjoyed their screening of the demo at GC. The game walked away with their award for "Best RPG" on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game also captured their "Best Xbox" game award, as well as the "2nd Absolute Best Game in the Show" behind Mafia II. If you're fluent in Spanish, you can also read Roberto Hidalgo Burgos' preview that's on their site. We've got a bit of it translated below:
"Even if at E3 it was barely shown, at GC we enjoyed an in-game demo of more than an hour, where Bethesda left us completely stunned in the same way they do about a year ago with Oblivion. Fallout 3 unites again in a title a wide and diverse gaming experience, with top-notch graphics, all wrapped with a rich and highly immersive background, promising dozens of gaming hours."
In other international coverage, Scandinavian game site Game Reactor is hosting an interview up with Emil Pagliarulo in which Emil talks about his favorite elements of Fallout, some of the creatures that will appear in the game, and more.
Finally, back here in the states, GamePro writer Vicious Sid has put up his preview that covers some of the basics about the game:
"Just before the war, many sought refuge is massive underground bunkers called Vaults. Once sealed, the Vaults are sealed permanently — nobody enters, nobody leaves. This is the dark world of Fallout, a cult hit on the PC in the late 90's and now an upcoming action-RPG from Bethesda Softworks, creator of The Elder Scrolls series."
Update: Looks like there's another Spanish preview up on Meristation. Time to head over to Babelfish.

Topic: A great day at day care. Just thought I'd share this here.
Hi All,
As the post header says, I just thopught I'd share this here. It brings back tons of memories for me with me and my Dad. Here is a video from last year that was on the local news. It involves the Macmillan Day Care centre and hospice that my dad was at. He absolutely loved going to the day care centre and he had many great days there. Such a great atmosphrere there was there each day, with many, many laughs and so much good happened there. I like this video as it shows to you all the centre that my dad went to and where I also spent much time with everyone there. These days I will never forget. Of course, I have the so sad memories that we would all have. But I also have the such good memories of taking my dad there each day knowing full well that he got so much out of going there and liked it greatly. Memories like that can never be replaced.

As I said, I spent much time here and have so many memories from here so just thought i would share this with you all.
Hugs to you all,

A new poll shows an aggressive campaign of job and spending cuts has hurt Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, but his government would still easily win a state election.
More than a week ago, a Reachtel poll showed 38.2 per cent of respondents thought Mr Newman was doing a good or very good job and 51 per cent believed he was doing a poor or very poor job.
Both numbers were up on last month's Reachtel poll, which found 36.2 per cent of respondents thought Mr Newman was doing a good or very good job and 47.8 per cent believed he was doing a poor or very poor job.
The results are reflected in a new poll out today.
The poll, published in News Ltd newspapers on Thursday, found 48 per cent of voters were dissatisfied with Mr Newman's performance as premier in October and December, a 10-point spike from the last poll in July and September.
Satisfaction with Mr Newman's performance dropped nine percentage points to 38 per cent over the same period.
On a two-party preferred basis, support for the Liberal National Party fell four percentage points to 56 per cent, but is still 10 points higher than Labor, which jumped four points to 44 per cent.
Labor's primary vote nudged one percentage point higher since the last poll to 31 per cent, while the LNP's slumped six percentage points to 42 per cent.
The disappointing numbers for the LNP comes after a rocky first year in office for Mr Newman.
The year began on a high, when the LNP was elected in a landslide that reduced Labor to just a handful of seats.
Since then, three MPs have defected, two ministers have been forced to quit, and Mr Newman's transport chief and arts minister are facing nepotism allegations.
In addition, the LNP's first budget was driven by fierce cost cutting, with 14,000 public service jobs axed across the state.

New York City Council Proclaims May Lupus Awareness Month
Today, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation was honored to receive a Proclamation from the New York City Council urging New Yorkers to observe the month of May as Lupus Awareness Month.
Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo presented the framed Proclamation in a special ceremony during the May 22 Council meeting at City Hall. "My daughter discovered she has lupus during her third pregnancy, so I know personally how difficult this disease can be," noted Councilwoman Arroyo. "Lupus is frequently misdiagnosed but affects thousands of New Yorkers, so the work of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is very important."
City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn also recognized the Foundation's success in raising awareness of lupus and personally thanked our Founder and co-Vice President Susan Golick for starting the organization.
"When I was diagnosed as a young woman in the 1970's, no one knew much about lupus and we could not even pronounce the formal name of the disease – systemic lupus erythematosus," explained Susan. "With few places to turn for help, my family formed the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation to provide resources and support to all those affected by lupus."
Susan went on to express special thanks to Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo, Councilman Joel Rivera and Councilwoman Annabel Palma as particularly committed champions for the lupus community.
Several people from the audience approached Susan to express appreciation for her work and her courage in coping with such a difficult disease. Each knows someone with lupus.
But public awareness of the disease is still low. In accordance with the City Council Proclamation issued today, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is pounding the pavement throughout May to educate New Yorkers about lupus.
"We will not stop until every person you might stop on the street can answer the question 'What is Lupus,' Susan pledged.

Q&A with Red McCombs
Updated 9:26 pm, Saturday, November 17, 2012
When the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix revs its engines at last today at the Circuit of the Americas complex in southeast Austin, arguably the most interested spectator will be San Antonio billionaire Red McCombs.
McCombs, 85, is the prominent investor in the $300 million project, which muscled through lawsuits and other hurdles to get constructed in time for today's event. He spoke with Express-New staff writer Richard Oliver about the undertaking:
On his relief at seeing the race taking place: "It was something I felt like it was worth doing. I said, 'Hey, if we lose, we lose.' But this is the kind of chance to have a meaningful role in something that could capture so much of the opportunity for that sport from people all over the world."
On whether he was prepared for weathering the challenges of getting the 3.4-mile circuit built: "Some of the things that I thought would be more difficult turned out to not be difficult at all. Some of the things I didn't expect to be any problem turned out to be problems. But you always know when you're diving into something like this, it's not going to be a smooth road. You know that going in.
"Through all of it, we've grown stronger with every single element. We end up with a real strong position. The other areas where these races in (Formula One) run this year, they've been watching what we've been doing the last year with just amazement."
Sports Channel
On why he thinks Formula One will succeed in an area that no one expected just a few years back: "Of course it's a huge challenge. But all of these sporting venues at their base have to have a strong league, as I would call it. In the years where this has not been a product that's done well in the U.S., internationally it's the biggest product out there.
"I look at it from a standpoint that we can do something here that doesn't replace anything else. It's not a need-to thing. I just didn't see why we couldn't make this work in the United States."
On whether he ever expected, after working as an owner with the NBA and NFL, to have a stake in auto racing in Texas: "It's more of a thrill than I could ever have imagined. Having the opportunity to do something like this is beyond anything I ever would have dreamed of earlier in my life.
"That's why, until I draw my last breath, I will never shy away. I'll be looking for the next big opportunity every minute that God allows me to stay alive on this earth. I don't say that with any kind of greed or any kind of entitlement or anything like that; I'm just saying from the day we were born, we each have 24 hours a day until the last day that we live. The big issue is, 'What have we done with it?'"

The preparation & cooking time have been calculated considering a slow cook like me (especially beginners). If you are quick, this biryani does not take as much time as mentioned below. I have given elaborate instructions which experts may not really need. Feel free to dabble with the method of preparing the rice depending on the luxury of time you have and also alter the ingredients as per taste.
Meat Biryani - Beary (Mangalorean Muslim) Style
- 1 kg beef or mutton on the bone
- juice of 1/2 lime (optional - use while cooking the meat)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi) (optional - use while cooking the meat)
- fistful of chopped coriander leaves (optional - use while cooking the meat)
- 5 big onions sliced
- 6 juicy tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup of coriander leaves chopped
- 1 inch cinnamon
- 3 cardamoms
- 3 cloves
- salt to taste
- ghee for frying
- 600gm / 3 cups basmati rice * see notes
- 2 inch cinnamon
- 3 cloves
- 2 cardamoms
- salt to taste
- 8-10 green chilies *see notes
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds (badashep/saunf) * see notes
- 2 tbsp coriander seeds
- 2 whole pods garlic peeled (Indian variety)
- 2 inch piece of ginger
- 1 tsp mace (javithri) flakes
- 3-4 star anise (chakri phool)
- 1/2 nutmeg (zaiphal)
- 1 packed cup of mint leaves
To be ground separately
- 2 tsp poppy seeds (khus khus) (substitute with 1 tsp grated coconut if khus khus is not available)
- 5 almonds (badam) soaked in hot water and skinned
- 3 onions finely sliced
- 1/2 cup of mint leaves roughly chopped
- 1-1/2 packed cups of coriander leaves roughly chopped
- 2 pinches saffron strands soaked in 3 tsp rose water or milk
- 2 tsp Garam masala (optional)
- 15-20 whole cashewnuts
- 20-25 raisins/kishmish
- 2 tsp ghee (to grease the pan)
5. Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely before removing the weight (whistle). Mix contents once and keep aside.
You can prepare the rice using the absorption technique (where rice is fully cooked and then layered along with meat)
1. Wash & soak the basmati rice in water for 15mins
2. For 600gms (3 cups) rice use a little less than double the quantity of water. ie 3x2 = 6 cups of water minus 1/2 cup = total of 5-1/2 cups of boiling water.
4. Make a few holes through the biryani and drizzle some ghee through them.
Rice: The original recipe asks for a 1:1 ration between the meat & the rice. However I have scaled it down to 600gm of rice to a kilogram of meat since I have a small family.
Chillies: The original recipe calls for 20 green chillies since there is no other source of basic spice (peppercorns or such), however, I used 10 medium sized green chillies as I was using just 600gm rice. This resulted in a moderately spicy biryani. Adjust the quantity of chillies according to your taste and as per the quantity of rice used.
Fennel seeds: Reduce the quantity by half only if you don't like the intense fragrance of fennel seeds, however, the aroma does get masked by other ingredients when the gravy is done.
Although this is a dum style biryani, you may choose to hasten the process by cooking the rice fully, layering it & then serving it immediately. However, the dum technique increases the flavour quotient of this biryani.

Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed coming at you slightly early because it's past noon and it's hard to type and hold a whiskey bottle at the same time we couldn't wait to bring you Charles Barkley in drag. No, not the bikini pic, you racist. Anyway, we've also got Slash's wife unleashing her banshee wail to call off the lumbering school of groupies as well as Michael Jordan playing "the back nine." (Butt sex jokes. Holy cow!!)

Poet Major Jackson to Give Reading at Ithaca College
ITHACA, NY — The Distinguished Visiting Writers Series at Ithaca College will present a free public reading by poet Major Jackson on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 7:30 p.m. in Clark Lounge, Egbert Hall.
"Publishers Weekly" wrote that the poems in "Holding Company," Jackson's latest collection, "range widely across various registers and subjects, from the timeless and mythic to pop culture… But at the core of all of them is an awareness of the dark beneath everyday goings-on."
Jackson's previous poetry collections include "Leaving Saturn," which won the Cave Canem Poetry Prize and was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award, and "Hoops," which was a finalist for an NAACP Image Award. He is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award and has been honored by the Pew Fellowship in the Arts and the Witter Bynner Foundation in conjunction with the Library of Congress.
Currently the poetry editor of the "Harvard Review," Jackson is the Richard Dennis Green and Gold Professor at the University of Vermont and a core faculty member of the Bennington Writing Seminars. He has previously served as a creative arts fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and as the Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence at University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
The Distinguished Visiting Writers Series is sponsored by the Department of Writing in the School of Humanities and Sciences. For more information contact Jack Wang, assistant professor of writing, at 607-274-3493 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
