vanbako1 - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI don't see the Asus Transformer Book (TX300) in the list.
Does anybody know a release date? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkNote that these were the Ultrabooks at Intel's booth. It is by no means a comprehensive list. Reply
brewnas - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkwas there any word next version of Taichi that will be touchscreen on both sides? that sounds like a pretty nice offering to me, good for sales presentations. add 4G LTE and nice data package...i'd be willing to pay Apple prices for that...
a lot of people sound bias against ultrabooks....but don't think you can compare something like Taichi to any Apple offering....just apples and oranges....sounds more like too many istuff users own too much sinking AAPL stock :( Reply
AncientWisdom - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkIndeed.
Can we kindly request you guys to look into this?
Since it has been "launched" over half a year ago Asus has been very quiet about this model. I think there are allot of people interested in knowing when is it going to be available as well as extremely interested in an AnandTech review of one of the most promising convertible unveiled this last year.
Thanks! Reply
madhavk8 - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkMicrosoft Surface Pro will end up being the Best Ultrabook ever !!! MArk my words. Even though it is not a full blown laptop, it is still one of the best available !!!!! Reply
yankeeDDL - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkLOL.
Microsoft should pay a bit more for people to scout forums and advertise ... Reply
guidryp - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI can only assume this must be epic sarcasm.
With one of the worse keyboards and one of the worse touchpads, it is pretty much guaranteed to be one of the worse ultrabooks. Reply
Thorburn - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI agree with pretty much everything in this piece, as for me screen quality is a major sticking point.
Spare a thought for the UK though. You bemoan a $1,200 price point for some of these premium products, in the UK the Dell XPS 12 (my current favourite choice) with 8GB RAM is priced at the equivalent of almost $1,900!
The ASUS UX13A has been a contender as well, but ASUS only import the i7 with 256GB SSD and charge $2,400 for it. The ASUS Taichi looks great too, but again only i7 with 256GB SSD and coming in at a whopping $2,700+!
Even in mainland Europe prices for the ASUS models is SIGNIFICANTLY lower, along with i5 SKUs being made available. Not quite sure what they're playing at over here!
Have come close to importing a US model for almost half the price, but can't get on with the US keyboard layout. Reply
r3loaded - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkWhat are you talking about? The US keyboard layout us far superior to the UK layout! Proper left shift key, an enter key you can reach without moving from the home row, etc.
But I agree with you on pricing. These ultrabooks cost far more than an MBA, even before the student discount Apple offer. If the 2013 MBA comes with an IPS (or even retina) screen, it'll kill all these competitors. Reply
xi1152 - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkWhat about the Vizio ultrabooks? Did you guys have a change to check those? Reply
jramskov - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkIt's amazing (in a very bad way) that no one has been able to actually make a laptop that can compete with Apple. I'm not thinking about the software, only the hardware and price. Is it really that difficult? Reply
ananduser - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkThat's an exaggeration. Apple does not make the best laptops. Some items in their lineup are among the best though. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkIf you mean "best period no one is ever better", I'd agree. If on the other hand he means "one of the best", I have to support that. I don't like Apple products, per se -- I'm a Windows and Android type of user -- but if we take the MacBook Pro it has:
Best-in-class build quality
Best-in-class wireless
Best-in-class touchpad
Best-in-class battery life
Good LCD contrast
Good LCD colors
Good LCD resolution
Good keyboard (not my *favorite* layout, but it's consistent for Apple users at least)
Good speakers
Good SSDs for storage (though I might downgrade that a bit for Toshiba SSDs on some models)
Good CPU
Good GPU, depending on model (the iGPU only models fall well short here, though)
Now if we move to the MacBook Pro 13 Retina, you can modify the LCD stuff so that it's:
Best-in-class LCD
Best-in-class color (pre-calibrated)
Best-in-class resolution
Basically, the only areas where I would say Apple's MacBook lineup isn't consistently near the top is in their displays on non-Retina models, their speakers, and their SSDs. And even in those areas, they're certainly good. It's a shame I just don't particularly care for OS X, and I'm not willing to pay for the privilege of using OS X. If someone were to give me an MBP Retina, though, I would happily spend a lot of time with OS X until I was comfortable using it in place of Windows. Reply
ananduser - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkWorst-in-class Windows drivers
Worst-in-class Intel speedstep support under bootcamp(as in none at all)
Worst-in-class lag on retina models(non-retina setting)
On the OSX side though they are the best. No doubts there. But they're flawed under Windows. Reply
jramskov - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI would love to be wrong, but please prove me wrong by providing a series of laptops or just a single laptop that can compete with the Macbook Pro's and not have at least 1 big flaw like a lousy screen or trackpad? I haven't read a single review of an ultrabook where that's the case. Reply
ananduser - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkPlenty of laptops that have IPS screens and excellent touchpads (Zenbook,Series9 are two examples). Again you're exaggerating. Reply
jramskov - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI can only state what I have seen but I of course haven't read every single laptop review on the internet.
It does seem like this could be worthy:
The Samsung Series 9 are very nice as well, but they cost quite a bit more than a comparable Macbook. Reply
Roland00Address - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkDo not hurt it...pretty things should be treated with respect, not casually allowed to fall and hit the hard pavement. Reply
pixelstuff - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI'm glad someone finally put into words my impression of all these non-apple ultrabooks. I keep looking at them hoping to buy one, but they always seem to have a flaw that I can't get over. They never seem to create the ideal full package. I'm also sick of these 16:9 ratio screens on everything, especially lower res screens. Reply
AncientWisdom - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkCompletely agreed, I'm DYING to buy an ultrabook but can't find one to justify the price\meet all my requirements. Reply
Zink - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkYou want lower prices and better screens. That is not how it works. Reply
r3loaded - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkThe difference between a crap 1366x768 TN panel and a quality 1920x1080 IPS panel isn't that much - probably $100 tops, but usually something like $50 extra in volume shipments.
High-density displays are a bit more (my rough guess is around $200-$250 for the 2880x1800 panel in the retina MBP) but it's not that much considering it's going into a $2000 machine. With greater manufacturing volume those prices too should come down. Reply

Many Orofino homeowners know about mold remediation in Orofino ID 83544. Floods have long been a fact of life in and around low-lying coastal cities like New Orleans and Houston. Now, though, rising water levels are an increasingly widespread reality in more coastal cities than before. What's more, recent climatic events across the country have also inundated inland states like Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Today, water – too much, or too little – has become an issue in much of the country.
Wherever there is air, there is mold. Invisible legions of its spores-reproductive "seeds"-travel everywhere airborne, but only where they encounter moisture can they germinate. Mold and moisture have a symbiotic relationship: the former is absolutely dependent on the latter to grow. Humidity is water vapor carried in the air. Thus, wherever the air is humid, surfaces tend to be moist and, particularly where floods have saturated the warm, dark inner walls of homes, homeowners are far more likely to need mold remediation.
This symbiotic relationship is the reason that removal isn't enough to abate an infestation in Orofino ID 83544. Unless the moisture is removed, these pesky fungi will most likely simply grow back, since it is categorically impossible to keep billions of spores at bay outdoors. Mold remediation, on the other hand, can successfully abate and/or nearly eliminate growth inside homes and other buildings. Successful remediation strategies all work on the same scientific principle: to control indoor mold, one must not only remove it from surfaces visible and hidden but also control the indoor humidity vital to its propagation.
The optimal level for moisture in indoor home air is between 30% and 50%; humidity levels higher than 50% are far more favorable to growth. An inexpensive, hand-held humidity meter, or moisture meter, reads and rates the percentage of water vapor suspended in the air. Another common sign that indicates high household humidity is persistent "sweat" on indoor walls, windows, or pipes. Indoor condensation can result from bath or utility use (e.g., showers, dishwashers, dryers), which discharges humidity. Therefore, these rooms should always be ventilated to the outdoors. Immediately drying up household condensation, indoor spills, and other surface moisture is a habit well worth forming. Typically, indoor areas thoroughly dried within 24-48 hours of getting wet will not foster mold.
Properly and safely cleaning away an infestation is the first step in its remediation. Stopping the moisture at the source and reducing indoor humidity are equally important steps in abating and controlling it. Repairing roof leaks, for example, helps keep water out of attics and the insides of walls which when wet form the perfect hidden incubators. Making sure that plumbing, air conditioning, and heating fixtures are tightly sealed is also essential. A dehumidifier may be key to maintaining drier indoor air in very humid climates. Walls that have been saturated for several hours (as when a basement floods, for example), may need gutting in order to eradicate a host of potential hidden hazards to health and/or property from these unsightly, unsanitary and often malodorous fungi.
Wherever there is air, there is mold, but only where there is moisture can it thrive in Orofino ID 83544. Breaking the symbiotic bond between the spores and water, and keeping indoor surfaces clean and dry, significantly impedes its (re)growth indoors.

Galaxies, the building blocks of the universe, range from simple to very complex in structure. In 1926, American astronomer Edwin Hubble developed a classification scheme of galaxies, more commonly known as the Hubble tuning fork. The basic ideas still hold today in helping astronomers understand the theory of galaxy evolution. The diagram pictured is split into two parts: elliptical galaxies, or ellipticals, and spiral galaxies, or spirals. Hubble assigned ellipticals numbers from zero to seven, while spirals were given letters. It is now believed that galaxy evolution is much more complicated than Hubble's classification scheme.

Yeniasya , 8 Eylül 2009
Japanese computer programmer Takeho Hisamatsu (32) has been visiting Karabuk, Safranbolu, Turkey every Ramadan for 5 years. Hisamatsu is fasting with the owner and personnel of the historic mansion at which he is staying in Safranbolu. Japanese computer programmer expresses that he is very happy to fast and he likes to join in fast-starting meal before dawn as well as the fast-breaking meal at sunset at the mansion. Although he is not a Muslim, he believes that he acquires a spritual strength because of fasting.

A vegetarian at the table, an elephant in the room
Part of my personal feminist framework led me to vegetarianism back in college. Seven years later, I am still a vegetarian, and still navigating those ever-fun family dinner gatherings. Anyone else out there who lives in the world of dietary restrictions may relate with what I'm talking about here. You really have to wonder if your mom actually used veggie broth to make her famous stuffing…or if she just wants you to eat it already. Your in-laws may go way overboard, preparing something totally out of the norm so you have something to eat, and send you home with a whole family-size tray of veg-friendly foodstuff that no one else touched. You might have the distinct challenge of dining with loved ones who really don't love vegetables at all—hello plain mashed potatoes for dinner. You most likely answer questions like, "So, do you think this is a phase?" or "Don't you miss turkey?" or "I don't get it, is this about that animal rights junk or something?"
Being a vegetarian can be a bit awkward, but for me, it doesn't even compare to some of the other awkward or uncomfortable situations that hanging with "the fam" for extended periods of time can bring. Having a very deliberate social justice framework for your life could mean that you have to explain, over and over and over again, why telling rape jokes makes you really uncomfortable. It could mean having weird-seeming discussions with great Aunt Tillie about why your youngest cousin shouldn't have to hug her. In some cases, it means figuring out how in the world you're going to navigate the political conversations about the President of the United States of America that stem from internalized racism.
For all of you out there who are going to navigate some difficult conversations this holiday season, I thank you. Having those conversations with the people we love is hard, sad, frustrating, invigorating, and so very, very important. I wish you well in your travels, your trials, and your many, many T-day talks!

Hope it helps
Good morning, since insomnia has deemed it fit to grace my life tonight i'm doing some research on asset management tools - something like nAble or MSP that can run cross platform (Linux, MS, OSX), track physical hosts, virtual hosts (running a lot on XenServer), databases (content servers are Linux VMs with MySQL), web services, resource usage, alerting, etc.
There seem to be a lot, and i figure since most people here are in the IT industry there should be some good feedback on some of these. Whats everyone using, whats good, whats bad about it? I'm open to any options really - i've a 2 site network that i intend to mirror for failover so i'm leaning toward an open source solution for licensing reasons since i'd be running two of these, one at each site, or using something external. Since this is for the company, i'm obviously not opposed to having to pay for it so long as it can track my servers and apps, alert me, and give me a good overview of my network's health.

Cacti & OpenAudIT
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
"Sure is for people with nothing on the line.....you and me? We just get on with it."
hi, as some members have already mentioned very specialized tools, there are tons of open source projects to establish these kind of request.
From my NOC/SOC experience there are some key aspects you have to keep in mind:
1. Do you've enough *unix skills to maintain this open source tools - never forget, all of them are great, but usually needs a lot of customization and therefore several skill sets are required, database know-how, basic scripting, like general *unix, of course security basics to harden the environment (many,many times overlooked in any NOC/SOC environment!!)
-> THIS applies to commercial software as well, even the typical (appliance) vendor tells you something else!!
If you answer straight away with YES, start looking around here:
1: Network Monitoring Tools
Personal recommendations:
Torrus (Torrus Project)
Cacti (Cacti: The Complete RRDTool-based Graphing Solution)
Nagios (Nagios - The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring)
Ntop (Welcome to ntop.org)
Argus (ARGUS- Auditing Network Activity)
OSSIEM (AlienVault - Creators of OSSIM - The OSS Correlation and Security Suite - Products)
iVIEW (Cyberoam iView : The Intelligent Logging & Reporting Solution)
In combinations, you will beat ANY available commercial tool (most of the commercial tools are coming from open source projects any way)!!

I've been developing a website on my localhost machine using Wamp server. Now I want to move the site to a non-local hosted machine.
I have a html test page on the non-local host. I can't access the page. I've tried to exit Wamp and still can't access the site test page.
On my local machine in the etc/host file I have my site.
How can I keep developing my site on my localhost machine and at the same time access the non-localhosted site?
It sounds like you have a dns mapping issue? Make sure you remove any overwrite in your hosts file that has to do with your site address. http//localhost should take you right to your local dev site, and yourname.com should be taking you to the remote, production website.
I guess I am a little confused on where, your confusion is.
I guess you configured your site on wamp as yourdomain.com
Change this to yourdomain.local so you know which is remote and which is local.
Okay, let me explain better.
I can go to my site on my localhost machine like this: http://www.mysite.com
It's set up on my machine like that, not http://localhost (I read to set it up that way to make sure all the links created for the site would be transferable when going live.) If I go to http://localhost I'll go to my Wamp administration panel.
I thought I might have to remove the code out of my local "host" file i.e. C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host.conf
Here's what I have in the host.conf file:
::1 localhost127.0.0.1 localhost mysite.local127.0.0.1 mysite127.0.0.1 mysite.com127.0.0.1 www.mysite.com127.0.0.1 postmaster.mysite.com 127.0.0.1 admin.mysite.com127.0.0.1 mail.mysite.com127.0.0.1 care.mysite.com127.0.0.1 webmaster.mysite.com
In my Wamp Server set up I have this:
<VirtualHost *:80>ServerAdmin email@example.com www.mymysite.comServerAlias www.mymysite.comDocumentRoot C:/Windows/HOST/wamp/www/www.mymysite.comErrorLog "logs/error.log"CustomLog "logs/access.log" common<Directory "C:/Windows/HOST/wamp/www/www.mymysite.com/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all Order Allow,Deny Allow from all</Directory></VirtualHost>
As you can see I'm set up to host the site on my localhost machine. I changed my mind about that!
But it helps making sure the links are correct in the site thou.
Now I want to upload the site to another non-localhost.
But I want to keep my set up here because it works so well and I know the links created will work. If I put mysite name into my browser it will take me to my localhost machine (I think because of my host file).
My problem seems to be how to go to my site on this "localhost" machine (when I want to) when I want to work on my site here and go to my non-localhost to set up everything else. I would like to switch between both. That would be ideal.
It looks to me like I'm going to have to remove to code out of my host.conf file, refresh windows memory, and maybe even do something about the Wamp VirtualHost conf file too.
I thought I could least access mysite with the ip number, but that's not working either. But even if I could access mysite through the ip address when ever I click a link it would automatically bring me back to my localhost machine.
Know what I mean?
hosts file should only contain:
::1 localhost127.0.0.1 localhost mysite.local
You are literally pointing mysite.com to your own machine with the rest of the lines.
I believe after you fix that, the virtual host should be fine? If not change that to localhost as well
Will that mess up my links?
So I would go to http://www.mysite.local on my localhost?
I can try it but I don't see how it would work.
After removing your custom lines from your hosts file, you'd go to http://locahost for your local dev server. Your links should be formatted as "/home" and not "mysite.com/home" though, unless you have a variable set on them all that can be changed depending wether your in production or dev ex. $siteUrl & "/home";
Please turn off automatic parsing of URLs (via the "Go Advanced" button) or wrap [noparse] tags round them when you're giving examples. (Especially if you're going to use mysite.com as your example, because that's a real site.) It will save me tearing out my fur in frustration. Thank you.
I have to remove all the code out of the host file then reboot the router then I can go online to my site.
It works but not as convenient as I would like.
Yes, I didn't realize about the links, sorry.
You need to reboot your machine, not your router. All that is needed to take your site live is a mysqldump of the database (if you have one), and mirror to the remote site, and a simple copy and paste of your site directory to the remote site. There's other little tricks you'll think of as you dig in deeper.
I'm not sure what you mean. I don't think I can because I have a dynamic IP. I have MySql installed and even Bind DNS. But my machine would probably be to slow. I have a Magento cart I've been working on for a few months (hard cart) but I like it. It's loaded and I need at least three databases.
What I would like to find is a free hosting company with everything I need to run my cart and that I can upgrade later for speed. I would like my profits to pay for everything. Something is the matter with every hosting company so far. I think I need a dedicated IP with free hosting and more than one database. You don't know everything about the hosting companies untill you sign up. Then you find out the something is wrong. I found a place to get a free SSL for accepting CC but I think I need a dedicated IP.
What do you mean "mirror the remote site?"
Most of the problems I had when developing locally and then uploading was paths and passwords, etc. To prevent having separate files with the same name for localhost and online I came across this neat solution:
defined('LOCALHOST') ?: define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
if( LOCALHOST )
// Necessary to remove DRIVE letter
define('PATH_INDEX', substr(getcwd(),2)) .'/';
define('PATH_ASSETS', '.assets/');
define('PATH_IMAGES', '/xamp-lite/xampp/htdocs/afiles/images/');
define('PATH_THUMBS', "/subdomain/thumb/");
define('PATH_ASSETS', '/home/content/77/123456/html/assets/');
define('PATH_IMAGES', '/home/content/77/123456/html/xy_john/afiles/images/');
define('PATH_THUMBS', '/home/content/77/123456/html/subdomain/thumb/');
<!-- common links can be used on same file for both localhost and online -->
<a href='/file-with-image-123.jpg'>
src = '<?php echo PATH_THUMBS;?>thumb-123.jpg'
style = 'width:88%; max-width:123px'
As I suspected you have your remote site name set up locally.
Your options are use a local site name and use relative links (what we and the majority of developers do).
Or have two host files. One with your sites and one without. When you want remote access switch the files over (call one hosts_local and one hosts_remote. When you want to use it rename it to hosts.) then when you have the right host file in place run the following command in the run box
Ipconfig /flushdns
Personally the first option is much easier and what the rest of the planet does.

SMWC Featured by The Princeton Review for Being Green
May 1st, 2010 |
The free guide can be viewed on the Princeton Review's website at www.princetonreview.com/greenguide.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) is one of the country's most environmentally- responsible colleges according to The Princeton Review (www.PrincetonReview.com). The nationally-known education services company selected SMWC for inclusion in a unique resource it has created for college applicants - "The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges."
Developed by The Princeton Review in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC, www.usgbc.org), the "Guide to 286 Green Colleges" is the first, free comprehensive guidebook focused solely on institutions of higher education who have demonstrated an above average commitment to sustainability in terms of campus infrastructure, activities and initiatives.
Just in time for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day (April 22nd), the Guide - which is based on a survey of hundreds of colleges nationwide - profiles the nation's most environmentally-responsible campuses. From solar panel study rooms to the percentage of budget spent on local/organic food, "The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges" looks at an institution's commitment to building certification using USGBC's LEED green building certification program; environmental literacy programs; formal sustainability committees; use of renewable energy resources; recycling and conservation programs, and much more.
The free Guide can be downloaded at www.princetonreview.com/greenguide and www.usgbc.org/campus.
"Students and their parents are becoming more and more interested in learning about and attending colleges and universities that practice, teach and support environmental responsibility," said Robert Franek, senior vice president and publisher, The Princeton Review. "According to our recent College Hope & Worries Survey, 64 percent of college applicants and their parents said having information about a school's commitment to the environment would impact their decision to apply to or attend it. We created this Guide to help them evaluate how institutions like Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College focus on environmental responsibility so that they can make informed decisions as they move through the college assessment and application process."
SMWC joins the ranks of outstanding universities and colleges nationwide that are leading the "green" movement through their own special programs and initiatives.
"We are pleased with this special recognition," said David Behrs, Ph.D., president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. "Our commitment to sustainability and environmental issues in preparing tomorrow's leaders are central to our curriculum, operations and student life. Students not only recognize the complex relationship we have with our environment but they have opportunities to create change through an environmental sciences minor, "Greening the Woods" initiative and partnerships with the Sisters of Providence."
"Beyond the cost savings to an institution, even the simplest aspects of a green campus, such as increased use of natural light, have been found to improve student learning and quality of life," said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, USGBC. "Green facilities make colleges more attractive to students and can dramatically reduce energy costs. Higher education is a top priority market segment for USGBC because graduates of green colleges become incredible drivers of change when they call for similar surroundings in their jobs and communities."
The Princeton Review noted that another unique aspect of the Guide is that it provides important information on schools that have dedicated environmental studies curriculums. "By many accounts, there are going to be a lot of job opportunities related to the environment and sustainability," commented Franek. "For those who are interested in working in this growing sector, the Guide highlights the schools that are doing an especially good job in preparing and placing the next generation of green professionals."
How the Schools Were Chosen
The Princeton Review chose the 286 schools included in the Guide based on the "Green Rating" scores the schools received in summer 2009 when The Princeton Review published Green Rating scores for 697 schools in its online college profiles and/or annual college guidebooks. The Princeton Review's "Green Rating" is a numerical score from 60 - 99 that's based on several data points. In 2008, The Princeton Review began collaborating with USGBC to help make the Green Rating survey questions as comprehensive and inclusive as possible. Of 697 schools that The Princeton Review gave "Green Ratings" to in 2009, the 286 schools in the Guide received scores in the 80th or higher percentile. The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in this book hierarchically (1 to 286) or in any of its books based on their "Green Rating" scores.

Cleveland sues to keep E. Cleveland's Huron Hospital open
Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove announced in early June the hospital serving East Cleveland and Cleveland residents would close. Over the last two weeks East Cleveland mayor Gary Norton has been hammering out a settlement with Clinic officials in which the Clinic will, among other things, pay East Cleveland 8 million dollars over the course of five years to compensate for the economic loss the city will suffer.
Norton says had an agreement not been reached, the fallback was to pursue legal action against the clinic to stave off the devastating consequence that can follow when a hospital closes.
NORTON: "The community is often left with a vacant building that grows high weeds, has windows broken out and a source of revenue that is just lost. But by working together we wanted to show that if we work in a new way, doing something different and talking instead of pointing fingers at each other, that we might be able to accomplish something that mitigates the loss."
In addition to the payment, Cleveland Clinic will either find another commercial use for the building, or foot the $10 million to $15 million cost of demolishing it and turn the vacant land over to East Cleveland. The land donation would be part of an additional $2 million in in-kind support to the city, including demolition of some vacant homes around the property.
While East Cleveland is satisfied with the settlement, the city of Cleveland is not, and it's suing the Clinic to block the closure of Huron. At issue is the hospital's trauma center, which Cleveland officials say is a critical piece of the emergency services infrastructure serving the city's east side. EMS Commissioner Edward Eckhart says its loss disrupts emergency response throughout the city.
ECKART: "The result of the loss of trauma service at Huron and the resulting closure of Huron has resulted in increased EMS response times to all 911 calls, to every neighborhood in the City of Cleveland; it's resulted in fire first responder units being tied up in excess of 30 to 45 minutes throughout the city while they are waiting for EMS ambulances to arrive to transport patients."
Law Director Robert Triozzi says the city wants the hospital to stay open until the Clinic can find another way to treat trauma patients on the east side.

A MAN was rescued from the sea after attempting to sail to America during a busy day for the coastguard.
The Mudeford RNLI Inshore Lifeboat was launched at 4.17pm on Saturday after a 12ft dinghy was spotted to the south of Hengistbury Head with one person on board, after a passing yacht noticed that the dinghy's skipper was seasick.
On arrival, the sailor was reluctant to accept help from the RNLI but was eventually persuaded to be brought back to Christchurch Harbour by the lifeboat, as he did not appear to be displaying 'proficient sailing', said Portland Coastguard.
Coastguard rescue officers and Dorset Police were there to meet him at the harbour as he was suffering from the cold, along with the ambulance service, which took him to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital for treatment.
It later transpired, said the Coastguard, that the man was a Bulgarian national who had set off with the intention of sailing to the USA.
Pete Dadds was one of the crewmen onboard the lifeboat which attended to the man. He said that if the lifeboat had not been contacted by a passing yacht, the man would certainly have died.
"He did not have any safety equipment, no mobile phone or VHF radio, no lights, he had a buoyancy aid instead of a lifejacket, which would have kept him afloat, and no way to raise the alarm. The dingy also wasn't built for the purpose that he intended it for.
"He had two bags with him, one filled with his belongings and one filled with food, and just the clothes he was wearing.
"He would not speak to us and was un-responsive, apart from saying, "Leave me, I am heading west", but there was a south-westerly wind and so I told him he would never make it.
"You could tell he was sick and was in the first stages of hyperthermia, as he was cold, he was being sick and he was being quite difficult, which we have learnt to recognise in connection to hypothermia."
Pete said that after the man was taken ashore, police officers went through his bags to find identification and found that he was a 30-year-old Bulgarian national, who had an American visa with him.
"If the man on the passing yacht had not contacted us, I don't think anyone would have known that this ever happened.
"Nobody would have been searching for a body because they would not have known he was there and the boat would have almost definitely sunk.
"If we weren't there, he would have definitely have died. In my 20 or so years of volunteering with the RNLI, I can honestly say that I may only have actually saved, not just assisted, maybe four or five people and this is one of them."
Earlier in the day, the Poole RNLI Inshore Lifeboat was tasked to assisted with a capsized catamaran in the water off Sandbanks Beach.
Two people were recovered and were taken ashore before the lifeboat crew following a call made to the emergency services at 2.45pm, before the lifeboat returned to recover the catamaran dinghy, which had suffered a split hull.
Less than two hours later, the Poole RNLI Inshore Lifeboat attended reports of a capsized sailing dinghy and one person in the water in Poole Harbour.
A call was made at 4.15pm, leading to the lifeboat visiting the Wills Cut area of the harbour, where they rescued the person and took them to Baiter Park, before later returning to recover the dinghy.
Four people were reported in the water off Salterns Marina in Poole Harbour leading to the Poole RNLI Inshore Lifeboat visiting the scene.
On arrival, following the call made at 4.27pm, two people were found from a capsized dinghy and two were from a capsized jetski, who were all taken to Baiter Park, where they were met by Poole Coastguards.
The lifeboat returned to recover the dinghy and jetski after attending another incident.
The Poole RNLI Inshore Lifeboat was also called to attend two people who were in the water in Poole Harbour following a capsized Hobie Cat.
A call was made at 5.37pm leading to the lifeboat crew rescuing the people and their vessel, which was brought ashore where they were met by Poole Coastguard.
Dorset Police were assisted by the coastguard in the search for a missing 67-year-old man last night who was visiting Sandbanks on a day trip.
A call was made to Poole Coastguard Rescue Team at 8.05pm to help with an extensive search for the man who had not returned to his coach after a trip out from a residential care home in London.
The man was soon found by police officers in Poole Park.
An emergency call was made to Southbourne Coastguard with a report of an unusual vessel secured to a buoy in Christchurch Bay.
The coastguard were alerted at 8.09pm and made a broadcast with a responding vessel able to confirm that the craft was an Atlantic rowing vessel with one person on board, who was remaining for the night to test his equipment.
Swanage Coastguard rescue officers were called to investigate reports of a canoe containing two people from a beach party who were out in dangerous conditions.
The call was made just after 9pm and the coastguard found that two men from the party, which was on Swanage Beach, had been fishing in the canoe. Both men had returned to the beach and did not intend to set off again that night.

Character strengths including optimism, self-control and perseverance are just as vital for future success as academic attainment, author Paul Tough tells Lisa Salmon.
By Lisa Salmon
Many parents believe that the recipe for success in life lies in doing well at school and earning a horde of good exam results.
And while it is of course true that academic attainment gives children a better chance of a successful career and life, a new book argues that the cognitive skills developed as a child may not be as important as a very different set of qualities that add up to a child's character.
For his book How Children Succeed, author Paul Tough studied huge amounts of research on children's education, ability and success, and concluded: "The conventional wisdom that has guided our thinking about child development and education has been misguided.
"We've been emphasising a set of skills - IQ and the sort of cognitive skills that are measured on standardised tests - and a lot of people believe that they are the one determinant of how well a child does in life.
"But the scientists and educators I write about in the book have identified a very different set of skills, things like grit and perseverance, conscientiousness, curiosity and optimism, which they say are at least as important as those cognitive, IQ-type skills, and arguably much more so."
It's strengths such as these, he says, that often explain why some people manage to overcome harsh beginnings and achieve huge success in life.
"I think educational attainment matters a lot," he says, "but the skills we need to succeed both in school and beyond are not just standardised test-taking skills.
"We can become overly focused on academic attainment. When you look at people who succeed in life, they aren't necessarily the ones who excelled at school - they have these character strengths and go on to do amazing things.
"It's true on the flip-side as well - there are a lot of kids who seem like the perfect students, but when they get out into the world, they find it very difficult to do well, and in many cases that's because they lack the character strengths that help them succeed."
The good news, says Tough, is that such skills can be developed as a child grows, although it's not quite as simple as reading a book or learning times tables.
It's particularly important for a child not to grow up in a very stressful environment, he says, as this leads to children's stress-response systems not developing properly, which in turn affects not only their physical and mental health, but also the development of their character.
In the primary school years, a major part of the way the important character skills develop is through dealing with challenges and failure, and having the right attitude to failure.
But parents need to be careful not to approach their children's potential failures in the wrong way, says Tough, who points out that some mums and dads will talk to their kids about setbacks, adversity and failure as though they were real catastrophes.
"That makes it difficult for kids to develop the grit, perseverance and self-confidence that they need to move forward.
"Parents need to find ways to make it acceptable for their kids to fail in a way that's productive - failure itself doesn't lead to good character, it's learning how to manage it and deal with setbacks."
When something goes wrong, in many cases it's a good idea for parents to step back and let children solve their own problems and deal with the consequences, he says.
Another thing parents can do is talk to their children about qualities such as perseverance, optimism and conscientiousness as skills that every person needs to learn and can get better at, says Tough.
"There are a lot of young people who don't hear that message, but when they do, it really changes the way they feel about themselves and what they can do."
He points out that Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck found that there are two types of people: those who have a fixed mindset and believe intelligence and other skills are static and inborn, and those who have a growth mindset and believe intelligence can be improved.
Dweck discovered that students who think intelligence can be improved actually do improve their grades at school.
"They do better in all sorts of ways," says Tough.
"They work harder, and they take setbacks better because they believe that it's not a reflection of something inherent in themselves, it's just that they didn't work or try hard enough, and that pushes them to go further next time."
Tough advises that parents can help children develop important character skills in the following ways: :: Curiosity Talk about what curious people do (asking a lot of questions, experimenting), emphasise that they're positive traits, and let children work things out for themselves with low-tech toys. Allow their natural curiosity to flourish.
:: Perseverance: Encouraging children to overcome mild adversity and failure themselves. Tough illustrates how perseverance can be maximised with the example of the US chess teacher Elizabeth Spiegel, whose middle school students consistently win national chess championships despite being from low-income backgrounds.
Spiegel helps her students learn to manage failure by going through every chess game move by move afterwards and looking at their failures honestly. By doing so, they see where they made mistakes and learn how to persevere and do better in the next game.
:: Optimism: Tough refers to the book Learned Optimism by the University of Pennsylvania psychology professor Martin Seligman, who argues that optimism is a teachable skill, not an inborn trait.
Pessimistic adults and children can train themselves to be more hopeful, says Seligman, by not viewing negative events as 'personal, permanent and pervasive', but instead finding specific, short-term, limited explanations for setbacks. If they do this, they're likely to become happier, healthier and more successful, he says.
:: Self-control: Growing up in a stress-free environment helps children develop self-control, and it can be increased by encouraging them to see it as a strength that will help them in many aspects of their life.
Tough warns that a key part of helping children succeed is parents not wrapping them in cotton wool.
"Protecting children is an instinct and something that comes naturally to parents," he says, "but when we over-protect them, we're doing more harm than good.
"Moderate amounts of adversity seem to be really positive for kids. Dealing with serious adversity is not good for them, but there's increasing evidence that never having faced failure and adversity in childhood is damaging as well.
"It doesn't give kids the opportunity to develop the kind of character strengths that matter as they go forward."

Ask the expert Q: "My 10-year-old daughter is very tired and is often thirsty, but she doesn't seem ill so I've not taken her to the doctor. My friend says I should get her checked for diabetes, although I thought that was linked to obesity and she's not overweight. What are the symptoms of diabetes, and how serious is it?"
A: Libby Dowling, clinical adviser for Diabetes UK, says: "Both tiredness and extreme thirst are symptoms of Type 1 diabetes, so it's really important that you take your daughter straight to your GP and insist that she's tested for it.
"Other symptoms to look out for are if a child is urinating more than normal or has unexplained weight loss. Displaying just one of these symptoms is good reason to get an urgent test for it.
"I say urgent because while your daughter may not seem unwell, people with Type 1 diabetes can become very unwell, very quickly.
"In fact, a quarter of children who develop the condition are seriously ill by the time they're diagnosed. This is something we're trying to change by raising awareness of the four Ts of Type 1 diabetes symptoms: Toilet, Thirsty, Tired. Thinner.
"And don't think a child is only likely to have diabetes if they are overweight. Many people believe this, but actually the vast majority of children with diabetes have Type 1, which isn't linked to weight or lifestyle at all. It's Type 2, which generally affects older people, which is linked to excess body fat.
"So a child who's a healthy weight is just as likely to have Type 1 diabetes as one who's overweight."

What is Tariff Classification?
All goods that enter the United States must be categorized according to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The act of placing goods into the correct category is called classification. Classification determines how much duty will be collected. While it sounds simple, it involves more than looking up an item in an index. Accurate classification involves a complicated process of applying the HTS General Rules of Interpretation and the HTS section, chapter, and subheading notes as well as additional explanatory notes.
How important is accurate HS Classification?
You are responsible:
Customs & Border Protection (CBP) holds Importers of Record responsible for classifying imported merchandise properly under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of classification. This means that importers must assign the correct HTS number and tariff description to every product imported. Further, the CBP requires importers to demonstrate "reasonable care" in doing so.
The Canadian Customs Service requires importers to show the full 10-digit tariff number on every invoice at the time of release.
Your profit margin depends on it:
You need to know how much duty you will be paying on goods you import so that you can price your products correctly and make your profit margin. Even when your customers are paying the duty, you need to be able to tell them what the duty will be to avoid any surprise costs.
Don't miss opportunities:
Further, U.S. HTS numbers dictate the Rule of Origin for NAFTA eligibility and other duty preference programs, such as the General System of Preferences (GSP) and the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA).

Intel 2014 Enthusiast Processors: New Haswell K with Overclocking Enhancementsby Ian Cutress on 3/19/2014 8:00 PM EST
23 Comments
Back to Article
Ryan Smith - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkIt'll be interesting to see if Intel goes with the solder based TIM here, as the information implies. The paste has been fine for stock CPUs and I don't really expect to see solder TIM CPUs to overclock much better (see our IVB-E), but having lower temperatures would still be nice. Reply
Homeles - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkHaswell appeared to suffer from both the die's distance from the IHS, and the continued use of thermal paste instead of solder. Perhaps Intel worked on both issues. Reply
chizow - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkExactly right, I have two 4770K rigs and never bothered to de-lid either of them because the results I have seen around the web post-delid seem to indicate no change in max overclock, just a pronounced 15-20C drop in operating temps under load. The main problem though with Haswell's high operating temps with the standard TIM is that it prevents you from really stress testing an overclock because the chip will start throttling.
In any case, I am happy with both my 4770Ks, especially the 2nd one from Costa Rica. Hits 4.4GHz at 1.18V while the 1st one I bought at launch from Malay only does 4.2 at 1.24V. It can go up to 4.3 but requires 1.28V and temps jump up a ton, so not worth it. Didn't want to wait for this updated Haswell-K because of the new chipset requirement that isn't much of an upgrade and I needed a 2nd machine to replace my wife's aging X58 rig that was starting to have some EOL type issues. Reply
munim - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkKnowing Intel's R&D budget, and considering I have already spend around $400 CAD on a 4770K, I'm irked. However, I'm happy that we made enough noise about it so as to lead to this development. Reply
MikeMurphy - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkPoor TIM requires beefier (more expensive) cooling systems which is a cost burden to the OEMs. In some cases, like many ultrabooks, the CPU speeds are even throttled despite such cooling. It's unforgivable that Intel has been doing this since IVB. Reply
extide - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkIn laptops/ultrabooks there is no heatspreader, so this issue doesn't really apply to them. Reply
Homeles - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkLaptops don't have heatspreaders. Reply
willis936 - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkThe TIM quality myth was busted last year. There's a post floating around where someone did some science to show that IHS-die clearance is a much bigger factor than TIM choice. Delidding does increase OC headroom quite a bit. I got an extra 300MHz out of my 4770k. The heatsink is still cool to the touch even when the CPU is 70 degrees but you can't change the fact that dies are getting smaller and power consumption is staying roughly the same.
A soldered die would be good to see because people started complaining when they moved away from that. Though even with a delidded CPU I only get 4.5GHz out of my 4770k. 4.5 without delidding is lucky with 4.8 being a good standard deviation above. Your haswell estimates are a little optimistic but engineering samples are always good chips so if that's all you have to go by that's fine. Also the OC headroom variance seems a lot bigger than ever with haswell. Hopefully these chips are all good picks. Reply
V3ctorPT - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkMy 4770K can get up to 4.8Ghz until he starts to throttle down... I use it at 4.6Ghz, I never delidded it, with afraid of ruin it. And it's faster than my old 2600k@5Ghz.
What I'm little upset is that the "new" cpu that has good TIM is only supported by the 9 series chipset. Are they kidding? It's the same socket for the Z87 and Z97, why does that cpu only work in a Z9 series?? $$$$ grabers... Reply
willis936 - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkYeah that's a little sad. I might flip a 4770k to upgrade to one of these chips for a few bucks but I'm definitely not flipping a motherboard. But hey if they don't want my money I'm sure they're fine with that. Reply
V3ctorPT - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkJust like me... No way I'm spending more money, I already bought a Sabertooth board (5 year warranty), to see if I could dispense some generations of cpu's... and with Mantle, DX12 in the future I'm not seeing my 4770k starving my 2x7970's in new games anytime soon... Reply
caladbolg - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkAccording to them, changes in the microcode have been made that force it to be series-9 only. Kinda understandable if they managed to lower cycles required for heavily used actions Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkThe slide says the chip is supported by 9 series chipset. It does NOT say that the chip would NOT be supported by 8 series chipsets as well. Relax and see what it's really going to be, Reply
coolhund - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkNothing was busted. Temps werent even close as good with the best generic paste compared to liquid metal.
So it is mainly the TIM, not only the clearance. Reply
Vinny DePaul - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkSo users will have to pay a premium. I wish AMD will come up with some better CPU or software companies release softwares with better multi-core support. Reply
Homeles - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkIt's almost undoubtedly going to be the cost of a normal K-series processor. They often sell for less than their locked counterparts. So no, there likely won't be a premium for these. Reply
toyotabedzrock - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkThey should have never released the Cpu with that kind of thermal interface mistake. Intel usually tests things better to avoid this, but maybe since they limited over clocking the issue was not voiced by as many people. Reply
N2H4+C4H9NO=? - Thursday, March 20, 2014 - linkHopefully this becomes the new base trend for Intel, and all processors launched from here-on will go back to having solder, or at the very least, non crap-tastic TIM. Reply
HexiumVII - Friday, March 21, 2014 - linkWow all of intels "news" i just them reverting back to their old ways, cheap o/cers and solder from Sandy Bridge. Lets get something really new intel! Reply
willis936 - Friday, March 21, 2014 - linkI'm pretty okay with some of these "old" ways. Reply
brkbeatjunkie - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkI hope it's not just more thermal paste. I've seen too many computer manufactures glob it on hoping to achieve better results, only to find their products getting even hotter because if you increase the space between the heat sink and the chip too much ie too much good in between, it greatly diminishes the ability do the heat sink to cool properly.
In this case, it's quality over quantity. I hope they figure that out. Nudge nudge apple Reply
DMCalloway - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkThis is just great. Finally Intel decides to fix the TIM situation for loyal Intel enthusiasts. The fact that this new SKU is not targeted at 8 series chipset should not come as a surprise.... remember what happened to TRIM support for RAID 0 SSD's.... yeah, only from the 7 series chipset on. Some of us are having to spend more and more to ride the bleeding edge wave. Reply
BadThad - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI'm praying that AMD comes around and makes a processor that clock for clock beats Intel. There is just not nearly enough pressure on Intel to make/release anything significant. The entire i series has been nothing but minor bumps to create more profits.
AMD - PLEASE bring us another Intel killer like the Athlon! Reply

A small city in the southeastern region of Texas, commonly referred to as "the asshole of Texas." Beaumont and its surrounding area is a melting pot of sorts for negative stereotypes. it houses its fair share of bible-beating, racist rednecks, ghetto-ass black people, illegal mexican roofers and silk shirt-clad Pakistani convenience store owners. Beaumont is also well known for its unbearable, all encompassing odor. Many have compared it to the smell of a dead fish stuffed into a shit filled sweatsock. It is always important to remember that this city should be avoided at all costs.
Guy 1: Oh god, it smells like shit out here!

In line with expectations outlined here last week, RP Data and Rismark have reported that Australia's housing market continued to stabilise over the month of August. This contrasts strikingly with the monotonic losses incurred over the course of 2011.
Across Australia's eight capital cities, home values were unchanged in raw terms over August, although up 0.2 per cent once RP Data and Rismark account for traditional seasonal weakness. Over the past three months Australian dwelling values have risen by 1.6 per cent (marginally more in seasonally-adjusted terms). Seven of Australia's eight capital cities have registered capital gains over this period, which has helped offset a softening in prices documented prior to the recent RBA rate cuts.
Particular strength has been evident in the east coast states with dwelling values in Sydney (up 2.4 per cent), Melbourne (up 2.5 per cent), and Canberra (up 2.8 per cent) all bouncing back over the last quarter. Even the persistently weak Brisbane market has managed to grind out a 0.6 per cent gain.
Around the rest of the country the story has been similar with home values higher in Perth (0.2 per cent), Hobart (1.0 per cent), and Darwin (5.2 per cent) over the past three months. The one exception has been Adelaide (see chart).
The RBA's 75 basis points worth of rate cuts in May and June have boosted affordability and likely facilitated a turn-around in housing conditions.
At the end of May, Australian dwelling values were down 2.2 per cent over the first five months of the year with Melbourne prices off an especially sharp 5.1 per cent. Yet by 30 August the year-to-date performance had improved markedly: national values have hardly moved (down 0.6 per cent) while the Melbourne market has now corrected by a less worrying 2.6 per cent.
In a recent speech, the Governor of the RBA, Glenn Stevens, observed that mortgage repayments as a share of disposable household income on the median priced home are currently well below their decade average. Today banks are offering discounted home loan rates as low as 5.62 per cent. This compares with an average variable rate since 2000 of 7.3 per cent.
