Lerianis - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - link3 different processor port designs? Intel, what the hell were you thinking here? You come out with ONE port design or at the most two that are mutually exclusive, one for servers and one for regular desktops/laptops.
I am seeing a lot of people with blown processors in the future due to this. Reply
GL1zdA - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAnd how do you expect one socket for processors with different features? The EX uses 4 QPI links, the EP 2 QPI links, the Haswell-EP will use DDR4 - how many contacts should your "one socket to rull them all" have? Ten thousand? Reply
fokka - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkyou are right, but simply naming all lga 2011 still is a stupid idea. Reply
dylan522p - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkWhy? Anyone who cares knows. Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAnd if the we're talking about a 2011-land Land Grid Array package, then LGA2011 is how we'd refer to it. There are plenty of semiconductor manufacturers that produce similar packages that are not pin compatible or even related, e.g. QFN64 or TSOP28.
Intel refers to the sockets as "Socket R", "Socket R1" and "Socket R3". Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAnd the packages and corresponding sockets (or ILMs in Intel parlance) are keyed differently, so you'd likely break something before you could cause electrical damage to the processor by inserting it into an inappropriate system. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkSomeone who cares won't know. It's inevitable. There'll be that one guy complaining on a forum somewhere about how he was completely surprised by this.
Inevitably, his name will be Larry. Or Bob. Reply
LordOfTheBoired - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkWhy name them at all, then? If the name is useless, and they've created a situation where IT IS, just don't give the socket a name.
I'd rather see them say nothing at all about the socket than than give a slew of different and largely unrelated connections a shared name. This is actually a WORSE situation than if the motherboard and processor specs said nothing about compatibility, because now someone who is unsure can check a bullet list, see that he has an LGA2011 processor and an LGA2011 motherboard, and expect them to work. With NO ready compatibility information, he will be FORCED to either do the necessary research or buy AMD out of sheer frustration. And this is dumb enough that "AMD has an agent inside Intel sabotaging the company" is the MOST rational explanation, which says a LOT about how insane this mess is. Reply
Kevin G - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThere can be multi-purpose pins that are configured upon boot. For example, pins for 8 lanes of PCI-e could be configured to be an extra QPI link (note that Ivy Bridge-EX only has 32 PCI-e lanes instead of the 40 on EP version). Ditto for the memory bus pins: reuse them for DDR3, DDR4 and the serial memory buffers. The pin count would increase but not drastically so.
This is especially more pronounced with socket 1156/1155/1150. The main difference between them was display out and clock generation. Intel could have easily a few extra pins for display IO growth, ignored the external clock input on later CPU's and kept the consumer line on the same socket for the past 5 years. Reply
ZeDestructor - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkUtterly pointless though, since you still have to change motherboards because you need a new chipset.
On the other hand, within LGA1155, you can use both Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge with no issues (bessides possible UEFI updates, and being limited to PCIe 2.0 on x6x compared to PCIe 3.0 on x7x boards)
I for one do not lament moving away from the LGA775 years of choosing which chipset and which motherboard implementation of said chipset supports the CPU I have.
So far Intel has kept the sockets inline with chipset and power requirements since LGA1366. It is true that I can't replace my motherboard with a newer board if my current one dies, but tbh, it's made my life easier: Gen X with chipset series Y will work across the entire generation, and by the time a motherboard dies, I want a new CPU as well..... Reply
Kevin G - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkOh? I could see why a Lynnfield chip wouldn't work with a Z87 chipset: no integrated graphics and it requires a clock input that the Z87 doesn't provide. However, what prevents the opposite? Say a Haswell board on a P55 chipset? Things like the external clock generator could be simply ignored on Haswell. PCI-e speeds would be likely be limited to 2.0 speeds. Otherwise, I'm not seeing much of a real limitation that couldn't have been addressed with a bit of foresight for a one-socket-to-rule-them-all scenario.
Things are even more similar between socket 2011 variants. The main differences here don't deal with the chipset but rather socket level features (memory type, PCI-e lanes and QPI links). Reply
TheinsanegamerN - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThe only thing that comes to mind is that haswell moved some voltage-control circuits onto the CPU itself. that would probably play havoc with the external voltage control on older boards. Reply
piroroadkill - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkIntel is obsessed with different sockets, but AMD tries to keep them the same.
Intel needs to stop screwing things up. Fuck, add a pin that does nothing and call it 2012 if you want, but they should never have several "2011" which aren't even the same... Reply
willis936 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThey did that with 1155. Reply
nekoken - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAMD used to be pretty great for socket compatibility but the aborted FM1 socket kind of ruined that. Reply
Flunk - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThere was no way around that, You can't get the integrated GPU functionality into an AM3 form-factor. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkHuh? FM1 APUs already had iGPUs (Llano), but AMD decided not to support that anymore with the launch of Trinity. Has nothing to do with the AMx-line and iGPU functionality not being available. Reply
TiGr1982 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkNot only FM1 - FM2+ CPU do not fit/work at all in FM2 M/B.
That was NOT the case for AM2+/AM2 in the past - these frequently worked together.
So AMD isn't better in this regard these days. Reply
ZeDestructor - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkYou think this is bad.... Look at the laptop CPUs... Socket 479 from the 110nm Pentium M/Pentium 4 (backwards compatible with S478 chips as I recall too) all the way to the quad-core 45nm mobile Penryn cores, with nothbridges spanning from AGP8x/PCI/IDE/DDR all the way to PCIe/SATA/DDR3...
On the other hand, we do have rPGA-988 and rPGA-988B for SB/IVB, so they could have done a lot better naming-wise... Reply
mapesdhs - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - link
The trouble with AMD though is that even when a chip physically fits
a socket ok, often the mbd vendor does not release a BIOS update to
support the chip in question. This happened a lot with the Phenom II;
there are numerous AM2 boards which don't support them due to lack
of BIOS updates.
Ian. Reply
FieryUP - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAFAIK Haswell-E/EP socket is designated (by Intel) as LGA2011-3, and SNB-E/EP/IVB-E/EP socket is LGA2011-0. If IVB-EX would have LGA2011-2, then it would just be quite logical, although I'm not sure what happened to LGA2011-1 then :) Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkYep, you got it. The original SNB-E/IVB-E socket was referred to by Intel as "LGA2011-0" or "Socket R" and the HSW-E variant as "LGA2011-3" or "Socket R3". More details here: http://vr-zone.com/articles/intel-core-i7-ivy-brid...
Somewhat oddly, the Intel parlance for the Xeon E7 v2 socket seems to be "LGA 2011" or "Socket R1". Reply
Berzemus - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkJust check the supported CPU list at your motherboard's vendor's website. The required BIOS version is a bonus.
As for AMD: FX-9000 series 220W TDP made them incompatible with (virtually ?) all previous AM3+ motherboards. Reply
TiGr1982 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkIn case of FX-9000 it's not an electrical/logical compatibility issue, but a TDP issue (for M/B - specific high requirements for CPU socket power delivery).
There is nothing totally new here with FX-9000 - this kind of issue existed several years ago for Phenom I X4 / II X4 140W models - these particular models were also not supported by a bunch of cheaper/simpler M/Bs. Reply
TiGr1982 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkSeems to be a non-issue at all, because:
1) professional IT staff is dealing with Xeons, so by default, being professionals, this staff knows what is for what.
2) enthusiasts are dealing with desktop LGA2011 CPU's. These guys, being enthusiasts/prosumers, also happen to read the web and to know what is for what in advance - before actually buying the stuff.
So, it's just an interesting engineering curiosity, but not a problem at all. Reply
maecenas - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkNot a problem until someone messes up and ruins chip and/or board. You have to admit this is a ridiculous system. At the very least they could call them 20011a, 2011b, etc. Reply
TiGr1982 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkYes, I admit :)
For the consumer/end users desktop segment, there still should be some designation differing current LGA2011 (Sandy Bridge-E/Ivy Bridge-E) vs future LGA2011 (Haswell-E).
There probably will be one (like 2011-3 or something for the new desktop LGA2011),
when Haswell-E for desktop will be released (rumours telling in Q3 this year). Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThey do have names (see the above comment by FieryUp). Granted, they're not necessarily good names, but it is Intel we're talking about here. They are also notched differently so the chips cannot be inserted into an inappropriate socket/system without the use of considerable force. Reply
TiGr1982 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkOf, course they do have internal names inside Intel (say, 1156 is H1, 1155 is H2, and 1150 is H3). The question is how the new desktop LGA 2011 (Socket R3) will be named consumerwise - what will be written on the CPU box at retail :)
LGA2011-3, probablly? Reply
Assimilator87 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkWell hopefully, someone spending $6500 on a processor will check board compatibility beforehand. Reply
ZeDestructor - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkIf he/she isn't doing so (or buying prebuilt boxes), he/she deserves a good reprimand. Reply
JlHADJOE - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThis. The vast majority of Ivy-EX systems will come in pre-built servers, and anyone who finds himself inserting an Ivy-EX chip manually will probably know what he's doing. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThe amount of money available in the US has increase by 300% over the last two decades, and by about 600% in the UK. You bet there are plenty of investment bankers out there buying >1000$ CPUs for themselves or their kids without much understanding of what they're doing. Reply
psyq321 - Monday, March 10, 2014 - linkOne cannot mess the chip and/or board because the sockets are keyed differently.
Unless he/she is an idiot, in which case even the different pin count and/or socket name would probably not help, either. Reply

Aslan7 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkSockets should have different name 2011a, 2011b, 2011c, or they should be compatiable with configurable pins. Why?
I bought a Laptop just as dual core mobile chips were coming out. This put price pressure on single core laptops. The Dell Inspiron 9200 was a 17 inch laptop in a business suit, that was actually the same exact laptop as the Dell XPS for gaming. It had a GeForce go6800 with 256mb dedicated graphics ram in it that came within 95% of the performance of a stock Geforce 6800 desktop card. At the time The Pentium-M had a good long run, and Intel's process technology had greatly improved (Newer processors needed less voltage for the same work and had more cache). After a quick check to make sure it worked I pulled the 1.6GHZ with 512KB cache processor out and swapped in a $90 from eBay 1.7GHZ Pentium-M 400MHZ bus 2MB cache processor. I dropped some thin copper wire between some holes in the socket for the processor to tell the system that this was a processor with a 533MHZ system bus, thus the processor ran at 2.26GHZ. It needed a little extra voltage so I dropped another little copper wire across some pins that permanently increased the voltage. I then put the heatsink back on with AS-5 (Artic Silver 5) amazing stuff I though it was BS, but yes you could see temps 10C cooler with AS-5 over stock. (AS-5 breakin was a bitch though. I didn't see the lowest temps until 120 hours in and about a dozen power off cooling cycles) I did the same with the graphics card. Better dissipation = less power, and lower fan speed, meaning less power again.
I started the laptop back up. It worked the first time. I installed Inspiron fan control I think it was. I created a temperature dependent fan map quieting the computer. Inspiron fan control or whatever program it was also controlled clockspeeds and voltages. I set it to run with realtime priority, and tested each speed stepping until I found the lowest voltage it would operate at, then set the clockspeed to load dependent so if a program could use more clockspeed it got it. I created a gaming profile and an office profile, and settings changed based on if it was on mains electricity or battery.
For the Graphics card the dell provided drivers were 18 months out of date this was a "business laptop after all and Nvidia's drivers wouldn't work on laptops. There were sites that existed to mod the inf file for the driver telling it that it worked with your card, and to enable all the hidden features including overclocking. I found stable overclocks and gained almost 10% in fps. Again I set up an office and a gaming profile.
That laptop roared. I bought it for $1200, did $800 in upgrades and ended up with a computer that was worth $3500 retail. That's why I want my sockets compatible. Reply
Aslan7 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkDell Inspiron 9200 17" stock vs modded
Totally stable end result.
cost $1200 stock + $800 in upgrades = $2000 total
1.6GHZ Pentium-m 533FSB 512KB cache to 2.26GHZ 2MB cache 533FSB (1.7GHZ 400FSB stock)
512MB memory, upgraded to 2048MB
Stock mpci wifi upgraded to atheros Wireless G (better signal processing and sensitivity, higher transmit power)
Stock wifi antenna replaced with high gain internal antenna
40GB 5200RPM slow HD upgraded to fast 160GB PMR HD that matched the best 7200rpm drives in the benchmarks
38 watt hour batter swapped for 80 watt hour
80 watt power supply swapped for 150
Dual layer DVD burner
17" 1440x900 screen for native resolution gaming
I could go all out gaming for 2 hours on battery with the screen at 50% brightness.
That's why I like socket compatibility and standard parts. Reply
Aslan7 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkAnother reason I like socket compatibility, though even that isn't a prerequisite for a mod,
I was given a Gigabyte P35-DQ6 motherboard with a 2.4GHZ Core 2 Quad, and because I wanted something faster I got a a Xeon LGA 771 processor to LGA775 shim http://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/ and swapped it for a $85 3.33GHZ Harpertown Xeon. The LGA 771 Xeons have the save internal CPU ID's as the LGA 775 Core 2 Quad series and thus will work with the mod in the Gigabyte motherboard.

bigdog1984 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkOk I read everything in the above posts and while I find you story of copper wire and thermal paste a fun read on the risk/reward of modding a laptop...I can't help but wonder what in the world this has to do with what we're talking about here. One generation of CPU is understandable but we're talking about vastly different processors with multi-thousand dollar price tags...the people buying these chips are putting them in server rooms and I workstations and more than likely don't care about socket compatibility since they are probably buying whole systems. I like compatibly for something like a generation or two of i7s but when it's 8 socket xenons I just want my server to work when I buy it. Let the vendors worry about compatibility Reply
chizow - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThis is part of the reason I moved off Intel's "Enthusiast" Platform. Far too many delays, incompatibilities, old/lagging tech, and a full year or more off their mainstream performance platform's microarchitecture.
Bought two Haswell Z87 builds with 4770Ks and couldn't be happier. The added benefit is that if/when I decide to upgrade either of these builds, they will still make fine HTPCs or thin clients. Unlike the two X58 builds I upgraded from which are completely undesirable in that respect due to their much higher thermals. Reply
JlHADJOE - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkIvy Bridge-EX is not part of the "Enthusiast" platform. Right now there's only one socket 2011 anyone not on a big corp's IT team is likely to have to deal with, and that's Sandy/Ivy-E. Reply
chizow - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkRight, this one isn't the Enthusiast platform, but the original 2011 platform is old/aging and was already feature-deficient even at launch (no native USB 3.0, only 2 SATA 6G, no official PCIe 3.0 GPU support). LGA 2011-3 which will support Haswell-E is only slated for later this year, but again, Intel has pushed these dates back numerous times that I simply got tired of waiting for the E platform to catch up to the mainstream performance platform.

chizow - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThey have started to do this on the mainstream performance platforms (non-K) with soldered-on BGA chips. Reply
g00ey - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - linkBecause firstly, there is a value to be able to configure a system with different CPUs and motherboard types. Even within one generation there are different types of CPU where one CPU is focused on low-budget or low power consumption, another is focused on high per-thread performance and another is focused on high throughput/workload.
Secondly, motherboards do break, even within warranty, so it is a considerable value to be able to replace the motherboard without having to replace the CPU. Sometimes the motherboard may come from a bad batch or model revision which would prompt replacing the motherboard with a different model, a model that may not be available with the same type of built-in CPU as the current faulty motherboard.
Thirdly, having a CPU attached to the motherboard would mean that each unit would bind more capital due to the extra cost of the CPU, both for the reseller, the distributor and also for the motherboard manufacturer. That is capital that could be more efficiently allocated to stock other products that better cater for end-users' needs than an utterly expensive built-in CPU on a motherboard. Reply
C.Henrique - Tuesday, September 02, 2014 - linkNow intel announce the X99 chipset for LGA2011-3, I think someone from intel read this post. And specify that LGA2011-3 is not compatible with LGA2011-1 and 2 (names R1, R2 and R3, if not change RX in future) PC´s market is decreasing year after year, is cheap to keep the same socket, change the version and the user needs change the motherboard.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1662 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's utility regulator has approved an application by Centra Gas to maintain the primary natural gas rate at 9.67 cents per cubic metre as of Feb. 1.
The rate has been unchanged since Aug. 1 last year.
The unchanged rate is a reflection of the abundant supplies of natural gas on the market, due in part to new extraction methods in North America.
However, the PUB says in a news release this week that natural gas prices have historically been volatile.
It says Manitobans should consider installing a high-efficiency furnace and improving home insulation.
Centra is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manitoba Hydro and is Manitoba's largest natural gas distributor.

One of my sites is in the data niche and I wanted to secure a good brand .com. However as the niche is pretty saturated, the best I could come up with was usabledatabases dot com (hand reg). I have since secured all the plural versions of .net and .org, and the singular version .com as well. But now I suddenly feel this may be too long? Or is it?
I have seen longer .com sites that are pretty popular but still the shorter the more preferable. I once heard there's a 14-character rule of thumb for .com naming - it's always better to have a .com name no more than 14 characters, according to a psychological research or something. However, mine is 15 characters. As the site is still working its way up and I intend to work hard to make it great, I better switch the domain now if I need to.
Do you think this name would stand good or do I need a shorter one? I'm not a native English speaker so I'd appreciate some ideas from native English speakers. Do you think it's too long to be memorable at first glance?
Any idea would be appreciated!
Hello Friend,
I think 15 characters would not be so long domain name, and being memorable it totally depends on your domain name, as there are certain websites which I have gone through are more than 20 characters domain name, and still their Website search engine and direct traffic are too good.
I'd say in your case it's not too long because it rolls out the tongue and is easy to remember. It's a good domain name.
It's long at first glance but it's only two words. It's hard to have a domain name too long with only 2 words. It's very easy to remember also.
Furthermore, if you represent the domain name in all your marketing in CamelCase (since http is case-insensitive), it will be very easy to remember.UsableDatabases is a lot easier than usabledatabases because the mind can quickly differentiate the two words.
Depends. With web design for instance 99% of the time they will just be clicking the link. So doesnt matter
Even if they're clicking a link, they will want to see where it goes. If you are giving the URL as the link text then there may be a case for writing it in CamelCase to make it easier to read.
If your goal is visitors then you want your domain to make sense in the field your in. Cmytz.com most likely will mean nothing to google unless you spend 20 mill like yelp
not long enough and it's easy to remember. A good domain name at that since it's very transparent.
No, its not long even very suitable.
As mine is rapidsofttechnologies.com having 21 character compare to yours.
Really great point here.
And, I would have to go with what everybody is saying. It is long at first glance. But, I can remember it easily. So, I definitely think it is already a good domain name.
It's not so much that you need to be wary of the length of your URL, but the number of words you use. The one's that people remember (mainly myself) are things such as acronyms of words such as BBC (british broadcasting centre) and ASOS (as seen on the shelves or site I think) one word URL's which are a blend of two words or two words altogether which form something in the mind which can further relate to it.
Many of my sites are two words or a blend of two into one word.
You are absolutely correct. The only caveat to that is the danger that your domain name can be easily misspelled. In that case someone else could get your traffic {accidentally or nefariously}
The danger with acronyms is:
Keep in mind the EMD Update mate. You should have good content to present to the users. When it comes to the length of the Domain. I feel short domain names can be easily remembered by visitors than long domains.
I think it's too long. But i know that dot com domains are hard to find nowadays. It's because .coms are the only TLD that gets any real respect. I think for your case, having "database" in your domain is helpful for SEO. But you could have been more creative with the rest. Start with "database" instead of "usable"? Or if you had to have usable in there, go with usabledb.com cause DB is now understood as database. My 2 cents. Cheers!

NEW YORK (AP) – Mike Pelfrey allowed six hits in eight dominant innings and the Mets took advantage of the wildness of former teammate Nelson Figueroa to end the Houston Astros' five-game winning streak, 2-1 on Friday night.
Pelfrey (13-7) pitched at least seven innings for the fourth straight start, shutting down an Astros squad that was coming off a four-game sweep of the Phillies in Philadelphia. He threw a career-high 124 pitches.
The 26-year-old right-hander matched his career high for wins, striking out four and walking two. He was 13-11 in 2008, his first full season in the rotation.
Right fielder Jeff Francoeur threw out a runner trying to score on a single in the fourth inning and Hisanori Takahashi relieved Bobby Parnell with runners on first and third and one out and earned his second save.
After giving up a run-scoring single to pinch-hitter Jason Michaels, Takahashi got Angel Sanchez to pop out to shortstop and st ruck out pinch-hitter Tommy Manzella to end it.
Facing the club that drafted him, rescued him in 2008 from a four-year international exile and ultimately cut him in April, Figueroa (3-2) was hurt by a lack of control. He only gave up three hits in seven innings, but made several poor throws that led to the Mets' two runs.
Luis Castillo, back in a starting role because Jose Reyes aggravated a right oblique injury Thursday night, singled. Figueroa's pickoff attempt to first base was off its mark and Castillo moved up a base. He then raced to third on a wild pitch.
David Wright followed with a sacrifice fly, a popup to shallow center field that second baseman Anderson Hernandez lunged at for an over-the-shoulder catch before making a weak throw up the third base line.
In the fourth, Figueroa walked two and gave up a single to Francoeur to load the bases. With Ruben Tejada up – coming in, he was 1 for 36 since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 7 – Figueroa threw ball four on a full-count pitch to make it 2-0.
Figueroa walked five and hit a batter in his third start for the Astros.
Francoeur's single in the fourth came after he saved a run with a strong throw in the top half. With Chris Johnson in second base with a double, Sanchez looped a two-out single to right and Francoeur, coming in, scooped the ball up and unleashed a relay home that was caught by Henry Blanco just up the third base line. Sanchez was caught in a rundown. It was Francoeur's NL-leading 10th assist.

Chris Drury:
"I think (the young guys) got a ton of experience, guys that'd never done it before, guys who it was their first year in the league and guys who have played a little bit but not gotten in the playoffs. So I'm sure they all got a lot of good experience the last two weeks … even the last month, you know, battling the way we had to."
On his emotions after elimination at this stage of his career:
"You never know when you're going to be in the playoffs year to year, and when you're going to get back and how tight the races are every year. I was glad to get back in and make it back."
"It was kind of a different kind of year. I haven't missed that many games in any season in any sport in my life. So it was a different challenge. But again, I was just happy to get back and try and help us win the last game and get in the playoffs.
"I think just the way the guys battled and played all year, coming down to the last game of the season, it was good to get in. But certainly we'd like to still be playing."
On the nucleus of this team:
"I think it's in good hands. I think you look around the room and see some terrific young players, we've got great goaltending, and I think it's going in the right direction."
On Tortorella's new contract:
"I think it's great. Obviously his plan to come in and draft well, develop young guys, when you see the talent that we have … I think it's only going to get better as we go along here."
On Callahan's injury:
"That was huge. We all know how huge he is for our team, on and off the ice, and certainly in a playoff series he brings so much every night. We missed him."
On his off-season:
"Just the same routine, just training, getting healthy, and getting ready for camp."
On next season's role:
"I wouldn't even know."
"It was a long year. I just never as in a position where I had to watch so many games, being injured and having come right out of camp, I think it was the second day of scrimmages, being out, then a period and a half back and out another eight weeks. It was a strange thing, something I had nothing to do with, or to deal with before. I'm pretty fortunate that I haven't had to do that. Some guys, it happens to them all the time or their careers never get going because of that. I certainly learned a lot and made good use of all the time I had to sit and watch."
"Just not being able to be out there, that's tough for any athlete. It came with a fair amount of frustration."
Brandon Dubinsky:
"As a team, I think we got a lot better. We had a lot of young guys come in and play huge roles, which is going to be important for us as we grow as a team. It's a season to grow on."
"That's the way playoffs are sometimes. You get bounces, or they get bounces. Unfortunately for us, we didn't get them all."
"I think it's been an up and down year for us. We were in a position to be in the playoffs all year and we played well down the stretch again to find a way to get in. I think we would have liked to do better in the playoffs and that being said, overall for the organization it was a good year, especially with the young guys getting the opportunities and playing as well as they did."
On Tortorella's contract:
"He really helps guys. I know myself personally, he's really helped my development, to try to get better as a player. I know he'll do the same for the other guys. I think at the end of the day, the guys really respect him and really love the fact that his honesty; you always know where you stand with him. So he's a great person to play for."
On the momentum within playoff games:
"It's all about momentum, and I know Torts talks about it all the time. It's just the way it is in this game. When you have the momentum, you feel like you never get tired, you can never make a mistake, all these other things. When you don't have the momentum it's the opposite. You feel like you're working so hard, but not accomplishing anything. So many different things there."
"I think as a player I'm still growing and there's still room to improve. I've got to be more consistent. I think I really improved that this year from last year, but it's something that you just continue to get better. You've got to be a pro. So that's something I'm going to focus on this summer, getting my mind in a place where I can clear my head and approach every game the same. There's always room for improvement. Aim high, miss high."
"Throughout the year we showed we were capable of beating the best teams and we did it. Every time we played against the best teams, we seemed to elevate our game and play really well against them. We'd either win or be right there in that vicinity. It was the games we played against, I guess, teams below us that we didn't seem to play our best in. That's why I'm not really satisfied where we ended up because I feel like we were capable of doing more and playing better at the end."
On his contract:
"I'd like to get it done as quickly as possible. I think the Rangers want me, and I want the Rangers, so at the end of the day we might as well not waste each other's time and draw it out as long as it was (last time). The sooner it's done, the sooner that I can just focus on putting all my energy and efforts into this organization."
Brandon Prust:
"Obviously we wanted to do more with that opportunity in the playoffs, but you want to take the positives out of everything, and I think we did a lot of positive things this year. I think we're growing as a team. We have a young team and I think we have a bright future."
Did the end of Game 4 carry into Game 5.
"Yeah. With playoffs you don't want to dwell on anything and go a game at a time. I think even losing Game 1, that was a tough one as well. That was a game that we could have easily won. Those are things in playoffs, it's a learning curve as far as being able to bounce back. I thought we did all year, but those were tough ones."
"You get that taste (of the playoffs) and you want it more. Before the playoffs, Dru came to the guys that hadn't been there and said, 'You can't just think that you're going to make the playoffs all the time' and we have to learn from it and not take it for granted."
"You want to keep getting better. We want 110 points next year. That's what we want to do."
On how his body got through the season, and how much time it will take for everything to heal:
"I'll probably start training in a few weeks, three weeks maybe. Maybe go lay on a beach somewhere and relax. You always have bumps and bruises throughout the year."
Somebody said it was a little more than bumps and bruises.
"Yeah, I went through some tough weeks there with some injuries, but we have a good staff here that take care of you and try to make sure you're always ready to go. I was. I didn't miss any time luckily, and hopefully the summer's always time to heal up."
On the pride in being one of four guys (with Derek Stepan, Artem Anisimov, Brian Boyle) who played all 82 games:
"You never want to lose that opportunity. I've kind of been scratching and clawing to get into the lineup, so it's part of the thing that once you get in, you never want to leave. So I think that's something that I can hopefully carry with me the rest of my career. I never want to be out of the lineup."
On "It's Just Pain":
"(Laughs) Well you know, the injuries that I had were something that I really couldn't hurt anymore. So it was just basically, you're playing through that pain. It wasn't that I was going to do more damage. So when I said that, basically what I was saying is that you're just battling through the pain. I wasn't going to do more damage."
"It caught on quick. I guess it's a good one. I like it. That's something we were saying all year. 'It's just pain' kind of an ongoing slogan."
"I'm really happy for the opportunity that I got, and obviously coming here was the best thing that could happen for me and my career. I've always took pride in all the penalty killing, and logged a lot of minutes. As a player that's what you live for. You want to be out on the ice in every situation. So there's still a lot to improve on. I want to be better. I know I can be better. And, hopefully just keep growing from those minutes and hopefully have even more responsibility next year."

The commander of the Marine Corps' Officer Candidates School, where last month three Marines died in an apparent murder-suicide, was removed from his job this week by the service's top general.
Col. Kris J. Stillings, a decorated infantry officer who served previously as a military assistant to former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, was relieved of his command Monday by Gen. Jim Amos, the Marine Corps' commandant. Located in Quantico, Va., OCS is a boot camp of sorts, used to train and screen all prospective Marine officers before they are commissioned second lieutenants and put on the path to leadership.
The decision to relieve Stillings was "painful," Amos told Marine Corps Times during an interview Wednesday at his home in Washington. The commandant selected Stillings for the OCS post nearly two years ago and acknowledged feeling a sense of "personal loyalty" to him. But as he agonized over what to do in light of last month's tragedy, "it boiled down to accountability," Amos said.
"I just lost confidence in Colonel Stillings' ability to handle all the many, many requirements of Officer Candidates School, being commanding officer," he said. "… With the death of three Marines, goodness, a month ago and a half ago now, that was a cold shot to the heart. … I worked my way through that, and I came to a persistent theme that I've been talking about for some time, and that's the issue about accountability."
Reached Wednesday night, Stillings provided the following statement.
"My command and the Marines of OCS mean the world to me," he said. "My wife and I are greatly saddened and upset by my relief, but we wish only the best for the Marines and sailors that work so hard at OCS. My relief is internal Marine Corps business, and I will address my concerns through the appropriate military process."
During Stillings' tenure at OCS, Marines with ties to the school were the focus of at least three highly publicized incidents — the most recent occurring March 22 when an instructor, Sgt. Eusebio Lopez, shot and killed two fellow staffers, Cpl. Jacob Wooley and Lance Cpl. Sara Castro Mata, before committing suicide, officials say.
Stillings took command of OCS in August 2011, as court proceedings were playing out for 10 Marines connected to a sweeping investigation into alleged sexual malfeasance among enlisted staff members there. His predecessor, Col. Rick Jackson, was in charge when those investigations began.
Last June, Stillings dismissed the largest group of officer candidates in the program's history after 31 students were suspected of cheating on a nighttime navigation test. Ultimately, 21 were told to leave OCS while the other 10 were put on probation and allowed to continue. During an interview weeks later, Stillings told Marine Corps Times the decision "broke my heart."
"That day was one of the hardest days — out of 32 years — I've ever had," he said last summer, "because I'm sitting face-to-face with young Americans who want to serve their country. And to have them do this, to interrupt or ruin that chance, it broke my heart."
Stillings' removal comes less than a year after Amos toured the service to deliver his "Heritage Brief," in which the commandant aimed to address what he saw as a breakdown of accountability and discipline coupled with complacency among some entrusted to lead. Prompted by a handful of incidents that spotlighted the misbehavior of a few, the effort focused on rank-and-file officers and staff noncommissioned officers. This winter, Amos met with all of the service's generals to deliver a similar message.
"We're not out to set records for relieving commanding officers," Amos said. "… I want to go on record as thinking an awful lot of Kris Stillings. I've relieved commanders in the past that you just went 'good riddance.' That's not the case here. It was right for the institution."
But "I'm deadly serious about it: You are responsible for what goes on inside your unit. Period. … It's the atmosphere set by the commanding officer. He or she is solely responsible for that."
Col. Harold R. "Odie" Van Opdorp, currently the Marine Corps' liaison to the U.S. Senate, will replace Stillings at OCS effective Monday, Amos said.
It's not immediately clear what Stillings' next move may be. With 30-plus years in uniform, he is eligible for retirement.
A prior-enlisted Marine, Stillings has an impressive bio, graduating with honors from the University of Arizona as part of the Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Program. He deployed in support of both U.S. military campaigns in Iraq, earning a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with combat 'V' device for actions in Ramadi in 2006.
After earning a master's degree, Stillings went on to serve at the Pentagon, first as a counter terrorism planner on the Joint Staff and then as Gates' junior military assistant.

These associate degrees require 60-64 semester credits and share four basic "blocks" in addition to CAC degree requirements, specifically: Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), Common Courses, Special Requirements and Electives. Students completing these degrees typically matriculate to an Arizona public university with junior status and only need an additional 56-60 university credits to complete a bachelor's degree consisting of 120 credits.
Completion of an associate degree does not necessarily guarantee admission to a particular university's program of study. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with both a CAC academic advisor and the target university's admissions advisor.
CAC also offers students a variety of one- and two-year programs to meet their diverse interests and goals, including degrees and certificates in over 100 fields of study.
Associate of General Studies (A.G.S.)
The associate of general studies degree is an option for students wanting more flexibility in selecting courses and who do not plan to transfer. However, choosing the A.G.S. and fulfilling the AGEC requirements provides the opportunity for students to attend an Arizona public university at a later time. Please refer to the current catalog for a full description of the A.G.S. requirements and/or contact an Academic Advisor to create a Master Academic Plan (MAP). Students who plan to transfer with an A.G.S. should consult the catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer and follow a similar program at Central.
Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
The A.A.S. degree suits students who plan to directly enter the workforce of their chosen discipline. Some state universities permit students with an A.A.S. degree to transfer most or all of their credits to a university. Students may also choose to pursue a Bachelor's of Applied Science (B.A.S.). Consult with a CAC academic advisor and an advisor at the target university to determine the appropriate course plan.
Our certificate programs prepare students for entry-level employment opportunities: some certificates offer advanced training build foundations for future completion of an A.A.S. or A.G.S. degree.
Students selecting a certificate program must complete a minimum of one-third of the required certificate credits at CAC. In addition, certificate students are required to earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
Students undecided about their academic program should meet with an academic advisor for assistance in exploring career and life goals, selecting a program that fits their talents and interests, and planning a timeline to achieve their academic goals based on course offerings.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/5/2013 (1564 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GOLFING, fishing, picking out china patterns — who knows what most of the Winnipeg Jets are up to these days? But one of their future teammates is getting better with each passing game.
Mark Scheifele is pushing and dragging his Barrie Colts toward an Ontario Hockey League championship and a berth in Saskatoon's Memorial Cup. He's playing hockey deep into May and thriving in the most competitive atmosphere his level has to offer.
The Jets wanted Scheifele to go back to junior and dominate. To grow as a player, both physically and mentally. He's done it all. Scheifele has never, until now, been the very best player in his age group. Allowing him to return to junior and develop at his own pace has allowed for a transformation from solid to superior.
"He's becoming wise to the game," said Colts coach and Jets legend Dale Hawerchuk. "It's a long grind and it's an opportunity to test yourself and improve yourself, and he's taken advantage of it. I've always believed in Mark's ability and that he was going to grow. Now he's doing it in a pressurized environment. It's allowed him to grow all aspects of his game."
Argue about Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff's decision to select Scheifele with the seventh pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft all you like. But the decision to send him back to junior to further his development is looking beyond wise.
The 20-year-old centre is now dominating and adding the gleam of confidence and winning to his skill set. Scheifele is no longer a very good player. A this point in time, he's the best in his league and maybe in the country.
The Jets selected Scheifele for his upside, which he is now beginning to show. Four goals in the third period on Wednesday night to lead his Colts to a 6-4 comeback win gives Scheifele 15 goals in 19 playoff games and 39 points. Four more points and he'll tie Cameron Mann for third all-time in OHL playoff scoring.
The Colts now lead the London Knights 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, with the winner advancing to the Memorial Cup.
"Mark has made a very big step since the world juniors," said Steve Spott, head coach of the OHL's Kitchener Rangers an1d Team Canada at last winter's IIHF world junior tournament. "The emergence of Mark will bode very well for him next year when he gets to Winnipeg. The mental part of the game is so important, and right now he's in a real good place. He's dangerous every time he's out on the ice. He's developing at an entirely different level right now."
How all this translates to the pro game remains to be seen, but the Jets can be assured they've done everything to help him develop. They can look around the junior landscape and confidently say their prospect is among the very best at that level.
The Knights are viewed in the OHL as the more talented and balanced team, but Scheifele has taken over the series.
"I've watched and talked to lots of other OHL guys and they've all said the same thing," said Spott. "Mark has been the difference in the series. He definitely has been the best player in the series and given Barrie a chance to win a championship."
Maybe Scheifele would have thrived in the NHL if given more time to catch on, but nothing in his performance suggested that when Cheveldayoff sent him back to junior. Instead, he's been given the chance to play in critical moments and find out how he handles them. Brilliantly, it would seem.

Kanadana is a method of writing Japanese using Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics devised by Simon Ager, creator of Omniglot. It was inspired by seeing the signatures of Inuit artists written vertically in a Japanese style.
The name Kanadana combines the Japanese words 仮名 (かな kana), as in hiragana and katakana, the Japanese syllabaries, and カナダ (kanada), the Japanese for Canada.
Subete no ningen wa, umare nagara ni shite jiyū de ari, katsu, songen to kenri to ni tsuite byōdō de aru. Ningen wa, risei to ryōshin o sazukerareteari, tagai ni dōhō no seishin o motte kōdōshinakerebanaranai.

Optimal management of skin malignancies relies on early and accurate diagnosis. The reference standard in skin cancer is biopsy and histopathological assessment from a clinical suspicious skin lesion. The clinical diagnosis of skin cancer has sensitivity ranging from 50% to 90 % and specificity around 70% to 80% depending on the population studied and the experience of the clinician.
A rapid, non-invasive technique that could be used for characterization of skin lesions prior to biopsy would be valuable. In some patients with multiple, recurrent skin tumours the need for numerous biopsies in the same area is problematic, both cosmetically and diagnostically, as the cancer can be hidden under scar tissue.
The biopsy has several weaknesses: The biopsy must be done exactly in the tumour, and it does not delineate the tumour borders. Biopsy from skin is in general easy, but there are problematic places such as the T-zone in the face, the eyelids and the ears. Notably these places are areas where most types of skin cancer exhibit aggressive, invasive growth and have a high recurrence rate.
OCT is a novel, non-invasive optical imaging technology. It can provide cross-sectional tomographic images of tissue pathology in situ and in real time, without the need for excision and processing of specimens, as in conventional histopathology. OCT uses harmless, infrared light to create high-resolution images of tissue. OCT provides cross-sectional images of structures below the tissue surface in analogy to histopathology. Hence OCT can function as an "optical biopsy" providing images of tissue structure on the micron scale. For example, OCT could be used where standard excisional biopsy is hazardous or impossible, and OCT could reduce sampling errors associated with excisional biopsy.

YORK'S Conservative leader has said he believes "poverty is an overused word" in the wake of controversial comments by a member of his party about food banks.
Chris Steward, a Conservative councillor, sparked an angry row after stating there is no absolute poverty in Britain and food banks were "an insult" to starving people around the world. He said donating to them allowed recipients to spend more money on alcohol and cigarettes.
In response to the comments, Tory leader Ian Gillies said he had not yet spoken to Coun Steward but questioned how many people were in poverty, stating that while food banks "can only be a good thing" for those in need, there are some people who claim to be in need if they do not have satellite television.
Coun Gillies said: "Poverty is an overused word. Some people say they are in poverty if they can't afford Sky television.
"But that does not detract from the people we need to help. There are obviously people in need and we should be doing everything we can to help those people.
"I would say the word poverty is used too quickly. There are people in need of help and some less fortunate than others.
"There are people who say they are in poverty but really don't know the meaning of the word poverty."
Coun Steward's comments were condemned by The Trussell Trust, which runs 275 food banks nationwide, which said he was "poorly informed".
A spokesperson for the York-based Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) said: "York may be a relatively well-off city, but that only masks the very real hardship experienced by many right on our doorstep.
"Food parcels were once the preserve of wartime Britain. But such is the struggle to meet the cost of essentials, the growth of food banks is tantamount to the reality facing families today.
"Food costs for families with children have increased by about 20 per cent since 2008 and the gap between the incomes and needs of worst-off households is widening.
"Six million people in working households are now in poverty – which is testament to the prevalence of hardship in the UK. The fact is millions of ordinary people are finding it ever harder to make end meets and put food on the table.
"We need policies that help ease the real struggles faced by families, not squabbles or denial as to whether that struggle exists."

Qualicum Beach mulls second roundabout
Though there is nothing currently in the works, the Town of Qualicum Beach is considering a traffic roundabout as one possible solution to traffic issues on Highway 19A along the Eaglecrest subdivision.
The subject came up at the recent Eaglecrest Residents' Association AGM, attended by mayor Teunis Westbroek, coun. Dave Willie and director of engineering Bob Weir.
"It wasn't the focus of the meeting," association president Tim Pritchard later told The News. "We invited council, at their offer, and we defined a number of areas to talk about," explaining that traffic became a hot topic for unrelated political reasons.
"Our issue is we need to look at traffic along 19A in the broader context of the entire Parksville-Qualicum Beach corridor," Pritchard said.
"It's all about left hand turns," he said explaining that residents often have issues with crossing traffic on the busy two-lane highway and that sight lines can be an issue.
"The regional district and highways (provincial government) never saw a need to develop an advanced plan," explained Weir who said the amount of development along the corridor, especially in the Wembley Mall area, are increasing the need for wider planning.
But he also pointed out that traffic studies don't support the perception that traffic has increased along the highway yet.
Pritchard admits, "we aren't holding our breath for quick action," but said they are thinking bigger and long term, considering things like twinning the highway, thinking of it as a "plan 2020."
Eaglecrest has three intersections on Highway 19A, a T-intersection at Yambury Rd., the shared Eaglecrest Drive intersection with Chartwell across the highway, and at Village way.
Weir reiterated what he explained at the AGM, that the key issue is limited financial resources.
He broke down the main options pointing out that traffic roundabouts are the provincial government's current preference. Municipalities have to prove a traffic circle wouldn't work if they want to install traffic lights.
But that doesn't mean that would be the town's first choice, Weir said, pointing out that a roundabout would cost more than a million dollars and are most effective in intersections with similar amounts of traffic from all directions — unlike those along the highway.
He suggested another option to look at is "protected T-intersections" like the one at Martindale Rd. in Parksville, which would cost half as much.
At the AGM, Westbroek highlighted the success of the Rupert Road roundabout — despite controversy and fears beforehand — and said that if or when the time comes, council will look at all the information and work together on the best solution for all Qualicum Beach residents.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Brevard County Fire Rescue is investigating a natural gas leak that caused what residents thought was an explosion Wednesday morning in West Melbourne.
The natural gas transmission line failed off of Simon Road, just south of US 192 near Interstate 95. Deputies said the cap or valve that failed caused the noise that residents heard.
Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls just before 5:30 a.m. reporting an "explosion" followed by a "loud roaring noise." According to deputies, the leak was located in the middle of pasture land located southwest of Simon Road.
Gas was escaping and some residents voluntarily evacuated, but evacuations weren't required, according to deputies. Deputies said natural gas is a flammable, colorless, odorless, lighter-than-air, non-toxic substance.
The hazardous materials crew responded and stopped the leak at around 7:30 a.m. Deputies said no residents were in danger.

Hello, I am in the process of learning Python and recently started experimenting with the Full Screen UI Wrapper for Python to be used on Android devices. I was able to make a simple GUI 'task killer' script (I know they are detrimental to battery life etc.) just to learn a little about the different events and XML.
My question is just like the title states. I have looked at many examples of how to 'get' the text (or numbers) from an edit text box but all were calling Java beforehand. I don't know Java yet and wondered how in the heck would I simply take the inputted characters from the XML edit text box and make them able to be assigned a variable? I have seen some of the printed results of the full screen wrapper and it looked like dictionaries within dictionaries......and I saw the numbers I inputted in the text box but it was part of a lot bigger collective that wasn't labeled. I have been looking for a few days now on how to do this with no success. I will usually research and find out stuff myself but this simple task has me puzzled.
I am not a student, I am just someone that finds programming fascinating lol........any help would greatly be appriciated
