DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A Daytona Beach hotel was evacuated Tuesday morning because of a bomb threat, the fourth threat in the city in the last four days.
The Extended Stay Hotel at 255 Bill France Boulevard was evacuated after the threat was made around 9 a.m., Daytona Beach police said.
Daytona Beach police said a note was left in a vacant room at the Extended Stay America Hotel in Daytona Beach, threatening that a bomb on the hotel property would go off at 9:30 a.m. according to police.
"You just have a bunch of knuckleheads out that have nothing better to do and they see this and they follow up making all these phone calls," said Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood.
Bill France Boulevard was closed in the area. The hotel was reopened just before noon and deemed safe.
Bomb threats were made to two grocery stores over the weekend, and a threat was made Monday to a Fifth-Third Bank.
"Quite frankly if they're going to blow your store up, they're going to blow your store up whether you wire the money or not," Chitwood said. "The best thing is to drop back, call the police, and let us do what we need to do."
Chitwood said 10 to 15 officers, the sheriff's office bomb squad, bomb dogs and city crews can add up to thousands of dollars each time a suspicious incident is called in.
"This takes away vital services for people who may need it," Chitwood said. "They are causing undue panic and somebody could get hurt or killed during these hoax calls. You have to remember in today's climate, you have to treat every case like it's the real thing."
No arrests have been made in any of the incidents.

2013 Spring Football Media Day
Abby Norman
March 05, 2013 03:56 PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - A transcript of WVU football coach Dana Holgorsen's spring football news conference:
Opening statement
Welcome everybody to the 2013 spring football luncheon. I am glad to have you all here. The guys have been back here for about eight weeks. I think we had about eight weeks of an offseason. This is kind of phase one in the 2013 season. When you look at it, there are about five phases that these guys have to go through. Phase one is an eight week offseason which is very vigorous and these guys have been doing a good job with Mike Joseph and his staff, Darl Bauer, Kevin McCadam and Irele Oderinde (Oderinde) is the new guy on the strength staff, and we are glad to have him come in from over there in Kentucky. Chad Snodgrass is our graduate assistant, and those guys are doing a great job in getting after them. I think our players are extremely motivated at this point. Obviously, ending the season the way we ended and losing a lot of star power, we have a bunch of hungry kids that want to prove themselves.
I also want to mention that they are doing a great job in academics. You can see a bunch of them through the window in there. Some of which are some graduating seniors, but Curtis Jones and his staff are doing a great job. We are going to stay on them as far as finishing the year strong, but making strides when it comes to the academic portion of our program.
Assistant-coach wise, we have been spending a lot of time with our guys. We didn't take much time off after signing day. We got right after it and started getting to know these guys a bunch - spending a lot of time with them on and off the field. Especially the new guys, but also individually just seeing what makes these guys tick. Not only teaching them the schemes and philosophies offensively and defensively, but also just trying to get to know a lot about these guys as people. When you get up there in the weight room in the offseason conditioning, whether it be early morning stuff or afternoon stuff, you find out a lot about guys. Guys change, too. We played so many young guys last year that those guys are going to be different people this year. We are excited about getting up there and spending a lot of time with these guys and seeing what is going on, but more importantly, we are looking forward to phase two in 2013 which is the actual spring portion of the football-aspect of things.
The next five weeks we spend with these guys is going to be all about football. We get to spend 20 hours a week with them opposed to eight hours a week. The majority of it will be football. The first eight weeks, it has been play development more than anything. We are looking forward to doing the football aspect of things.
Injury report
Dante Campbell
will be out for spring. He had successful shoulder surgery and will be back more June/July. He will be out for spring.
Terrell Chestnut
, in the bowl game in the second play of the game tore his knee up. He had successful knee surgery and will be out for spring and will be back more June/July.
One of the guys that will be non-contact but will be going through spring will be
Avery Williams
. He missed last year with neck surgery. He is improving and running and looks really good running. He will be non-contact all through spring but will be able to do a lot of drills and will be back into the swing of things.
Jewone Snow
really didn't play that much last year and had another shoulder surgery. He will be going through practice, but non-contact.
Pat Eger
is improving. He had a little ankle thing that after the season, he had a quick little surgery on. He is not full-go, but he is improving and will be out there at some point.
Wes Tonkery
has a foot thing as well. He is improving from it but won't be full speed. Those six guys we are kind of going to be without - two of them for spring, two of them on a limited basis and two on a day-to-day basis.
Defensively, coach (Keith) Patterson is continuing to get a scheme put in place. He got a head start on it heading into the bowl game. Obviously, we didn't get near what we wanted to get into it, but still got a lot out of this regardless of how the game ended up. We still got a lot out of that from a defensive standpoint as far as getting ahead for the spring. But got the coaches in place and got the scheme in place, and we are continuously meeting with these guys to put the scheme in place and put the philosophy in place. We are excited to see these guys improve.
I know a lot of you all were asking for depth charts and stuff and last year, and I reluctantly gave you one because it changed tremendously. It is the same thing with this. These depth charts really don't exist. We have open competition at every single position. Just looking at the guys right now from a defensive line standpoint, coach (Erik) Slaughter pretty much has every guy back.
Will Clarke
Shaq Rowell
are two seniors that we are going to lean on from a leadership standpoint to do a lot of things for us. They are having great off-seasons and are working hard, and their attitudes are great. Then we have a bunch of young guys. A lot of those young guys had to play last year, which if you are playing five or six freshmen on the defensive line, that is not going to be advantageous to your football team. The good news is, those guys are all going to be back - guys like
Korey Harris
Christian Brown
Kyle Rose
Eric Kinsey
. Those guys are going to be guys we want to see improve throughout spring.
Inside linebacker, having a guy like
Isaiah Bruce
back, he was the second leading tackler as a freshman last year. He, right now, looks a lot different to me from a confidence standpoint and from a physical standpoint. He is almost 230 pounds now and has a great attitude and is a great person. We are going to lean on him a lot.
Nick Kwiatkoski
is a guy that has really come on strong in the offseason. He looks good and also weighs about 230 pounds. Those two guys are still young, and they are still sophomores. They have a lot of football ahead of them, and we are going to lean on those guys to continue to get better and better.
Both safeties –
Karl Joseph
Darwin Cook
- look great. Those guys have played a lot of football around here and are having good off-seasons. We are going to lean on them as far as bringing the rest of these secondary guys along.
The corner position was obviously one that we talked a lot about. Coach (Brian) Mitchell is in here to continue to teach these guys from a developmental process. We played four or five freshmen corners. Those guys have to grow up. Those guys have to play.
Ishmael Banks
is doing a good job.
Brodrick Jenkins
had been banged up. Brodrick has played a lot of football around here and has been banged up, but we will get him back out there today. The young guys (Ricky) Rumph,
Vernon Davis
and Nana (Kyeremeh) - those guys just have to keep improving. We have to get those guys to continue to just improve, which is obviously the point of spring practice.
Offensively, coach (Shannon) Dawson and myself have been studying the cutups of what we saw and what we need to improve on. We are pretty much critiquing every aspect of what we do offensively - what we feel like we need to get better at and what direction we need to go based on what our production is. We obviously lost a lot of production that we have to replace, which is just the nature of college football. You are going to lose good players, and it is going to be good for your program to see young guys like Geno (Smith), Tavon (Austin), Stedman (Bailey) and Joey (Madsen) move onto the NFL – that is going to be positive for our program. By no means will we panic whatsoever. We need to get guys in here and we need to coach those guys up.
Probably the strength of where we are at right now is the running back position. That is where all our production is returning. You have Dustin (Garrison) and (Andrew) Buie who have played a lot of football. You are adding
Dreamius Smith
Wendell Smallwood
that are looking fantastic in the offseason.
Cody Clay
is another guy that will line up back there that will do some good things. I feel good about that position as far as what those guys are doing, and we are going to lean on them for some leadership stuff.
Offensive line wise, we have about 13 guys for coach (Ron) Crook to toughen up and teach them a bunch of technique and get those guys to grow up as well, especially on the inside. We have our tackles. We feel good about
Quinton Spain
, and he looks like a totally different person in the offseason. After eight weeks, that guys is big, fast and strong, and he is doing a great job from a leadership standpoint. We are excited about the things that he is doing out there.
Nick Kindler
is one of the guys that is one of the better leaders on the team. He is doing a good job. We have
Curtis Feigt
who has played a lot of football here. So the tackle position, we feel good about. We have to get guys on the inside that can grow up. We are going to move
Pat Eger
inside. Pat has played a lot of ball here, but we are going to give him a shot to be a potential center. Potentially,
Tyler Orlosky
is going to be a guy that can potentially play center. We have about four bodies –
Tony Matteo
Russell Haughton-James
and guys in there that we can get one or two centers out of that group right there.
Mark Glowinski
redshirted last year and is a workout phenom. He is a guy that can bend and is strong and that has a great first step. We are excited about him. Young guys like
Adam Pankey
Marquis Lucas
- we will line those guys up and go.
Quarterbacks and receivers are probably a little different story, in that they just haven't played. That is exciting to me as a coach. Coach (Lonnie) Galloway has been in here with these receivers trying to motivate those guys to get better and better, which he will do. We have
KJ Myers
Devonte Mathis
, and they haven't played very much.
Connor Arlia
hasn't played very much.
Jordan Thompson
hasn't played very much. A couple of new guys in
Daikiel Shorts
Kevin White
are physically unbelievable. Now, if they can run routes and hold up to the actual grind of football – that is what we are here to find out.
I would assume everybody would like to know about the quarterback position. I am more anxious than you are. As this thing goes on, we will discuss it. We've got a lot of practices ahead of us. We won't name a starter for awhile. We have three or four guys there –
Paul Millard
Ford Childress
Chavas Rawlins
, who is doing a great job in the offseason. He has got some talent to him.
Logan Moore
from Fairmont is doing some good things in the offseason. We will give those guys a bunch of different reps and kind of see where we end up.
Special teams
Special teams wise, just a couple of notes on that. Coach (Joe) DeForest has done a good job of improving the stuff. We will do a lot of technique stuff in the offseason from a blocking and tackling standpoint. Special teams has so many different moving parts. We are going to add 20 more bodies this summer so we have to develop our depth charts. We will do our best this spring to develop that, but it is not just about the kicker, punter, snapper and returner. It is about 50 other guys that need to learn how to take care of some technique stuff when it comes to special teams, and the importance of being good in space. We will hit the ground running with that when it comes to the first practice in spring from a special teams standpoint. We will improve (John) DePalma. He looks like a whole different guy. He just needed to mature. He is doing a good job.
Michael Molinari
is one of our workout sensations, so he is motivated to try and win the punter duty. We got bodies that are going to get a lot of individual attention from coach DeForest. We will see where we end up with that. We obviously need returners. Everyone that has returned for us over the last couple of years is gone, so we will try and develop a couple of those guys in the spring, and then we have some guys coming in that are obviously going to get a chance to do that as well.
On the three quarterbacks
I really don't know yet. Paul has more experience. He probably understands the offense a little bit better than the other guys but that doesn't mean that we are going to give him more reps because it is not where they are at right now, it is where they end up in six months. Ford is very motivated at this point right now. It is hard to be a redshirt-freshman quarterback, so he wasn't nearly as motivated a year ago as he is right now; he is doing good. Chavas is where both those kids were a year ago and two years ago just being new and trying to soak it all in, learning things and hearing things for the first time. I haven't seen him take a snap yet in college so we are going to have a lot of opportunities to evaluate these guys. Coach Dawson will drill them every day and get them out there for 20, 30 or 40 minutes and just drill them. They need a lot of drill work and a lot of team snaps - they need a lot of skill reps, they need a lot of inside reps and to just to get comfortable with the offense. Again, we will evaluate them, but they are going to show so much improvement and we will see whichever guy shows the most improvements and puts us in the best position to be successful. (Then), we will actually make that decision.
On having a quarterback depth chart by the end of spring
No. More than likely not unless someone completely separates himself. This is the first quarterback competition that I have had personally since my first year at Houston. Coming here, we obviously had our starter in Geno and at Oklahoma State, we had our starter in (Brandon) Weeden. Going to Houston, (Case) Keenum obviously wasn't our starter and we had a competition there where we went 15 practices in the spring and 15 practices in fall before we made that decision. Once spring is over, a lot can happen over the summer. You have lots of tape to sit there and watch. You have 15 more practices that you can look forward to, so I would hesitate to do that.
On position changes
You are always going to move those guys (the offensive line) around and try to get your best five on the field. Glowinski was a tackle, but we need help on the inside. We have our top three tackles back so moving him down to guard makes sense to us. We are moving Pat down to center because he is smart, experienced and he has played guard and he has got a lot experience. He has more experience than anyone on our offensive line. We are going to try and get him going there. We always know that we can move him back to guard or tackle if we need to. The center is pretty important to us at this point. We are going to do our best to find the best one that there is and once we do, we can move some of those other guys around. Other than that, there are not many. It is always kind of a constant of switching a guy back and forth. Whether it is inside linebacker, outside linebacker, defensive end, safety or corner, there is constant move based on maturity.
On the coaching changes
It hasn't affected us one bit. Defensively, we had our staff set right there around the (coaches') convention, so those guys have been meeting for seven weeks. We feel like we are in great shape there. Offensively, I don't know if you guys know this or not, but we have run the same offense for awhile. Coach Dawson and I are continuously looking at it to see what we have to do to be better, but from a coaching change standpoint, it's nothing to worry about.
On hiring a new coach to replace coach Gillespie
I would imagine we will probably find a coach.
On the familiarity of the Big 12 going into the second season
I think it helps a bunch. That has been one of the vocal points the past eight weeks. We have constantly emphasized that. Going through it, and I said it a year ago, it is going to take some time to go through this before we truly understand it. When we show them film on the specific schools, it makes sense to them now. It is probably going to take another year and a return trip. There are still five schools in the Big 12 that we haven't been to yet, so I think it takes time to play these guys to where you can look back on last year, but also look back on the two years prior to go into that specific stadiums and have guys on your team and a whole bunch of coaches that understand what they are getting themselves into. They will be more familiar with it. The flip side is that they will be more familiar with us, too, so I think that will probably work against us.
On putting more emphasis on the running game
We tried that last year. We were searching for guys to put back there, and then finally got smart and put Tavon back there. That has always been a key component to what we do offensively. My two years at Houston, we had a 1,000-yard rusher. I was at Oklahoma State and we almost had 2,000-yard rushers. We have been running the ball 40-50 percent for several years, so that is a key component to it. That is something that we are always trying to get better at. We are excited to have coach Crook on staff - he brings some knowledge when it comes to the running game. Again, we are trying to evaluate everything that we are doing, especially offensively to where we can try and do something a little bit better. It would be exciting to get through spring to see what we have to do to get better from a run-game standpoint to make it more productive more than anything. Those are our guys that have production coming back. Yes, we want to use them a whole bunch.
On the junior college players
You don't know until they are here. We have two on campus now in
Kevin White
Dreamius Smith
who are going to have their opportunity to play. We are not going to recruit a junior college kid if we don't have a need for that specific body or that specific position. With that said, we are not going to give them the spot either. Looking to them to fill the role of the senior is tricky as well. You get junior college kids in here that don't understand what anything is like around here. Look back at what Bruce (Irvin) did. Bruce, in his first year - how much did he play? He played approximately 25 percent of the time. It just takes guys time to get comfortable here. We are looking for more of the guys from last year to step up from a leadership role standpoint and to fill needs with recruiting, but that doesn't mean you are going to turn it over to them from a leadership standpoint.
On coaching the quarterbacks
That was fun, too. We coach for a reason because we like to coach. There are a lot of aspects about this that probably I could say otherwise. We are excited about it. It is an opportunity, and Shannon and I have been talking about this for awhile from an offensive standpoint. Let us reevaluate everything, and let's start coaching these guys real hard. Coach DeForest and I have been talking about it from a program standpoint and from a special teams standpoint what we need to do to make it better. That is called coaching. Coach Patterson and I have been talking from a defensive standpoint as far as where we are at and what we have to do to get better. It is exciting, and we are pretty motivated to get out there and start coaching.
On bringing in junior college players like Texas Tech and Kansas
They are not the first two schools in the country that took that approach. Coach Snyder has been doing it forever. He has been doing that for some time. It is just something that we have talked about, and we thought it was important to get some guys in here that had a little bit more experience and maybe a different body type than what we would get out of a high school guy. Again, we are worried about the 85 guys we have on the roster right now as far as coaching those guys. There is so much change that happens to a team. This team will change with every phase. In the offseason they are going to change, in the spring practice they are going to change, and you are always going to have coaching changes, you are always going to have some scheme changes and then you are going to have some roster changes with guys not making it or from a recruiting standpoint, adding 20 more guys in May or June. Then you have the whole summer session that you have to improve where you can get to camp and really, truly figure out who you have on your team and what your mental makeup is and what your physical makeup is prior to getting into the daily grind of the actual season. There is a need to get the junior college kids in here to get them to play, but you better be relying on the guys that are on your campus right now. I think we have a good collection and nucleus of guys that have played a lot of football here and should continue to improve that we can lean on.
On the new defensive scheme
Obviously, we have a couple of weeks of practice. We had a couple of minutes of practice up in New York, and then we played the game. We made the decision to do it. Glad we did it. We will continue to try and implement what we are doing on all three sides of the ball as far as trying to show improvement.

Week 6 is over and done with, but here's what you can look forward to in Week 7:
Red River has finally arrived. Last year's game featured a pair of unbeaten teams, and this year, it's two one-loss squads, though both carry top-15 rankings into the game. Texas' defense was all up on Geno Smith last week, but let Andrew Buie run wild. Can Damien Williams do the same for Landry Jones? And how will Texas' offense match up against the best defense they'll face all season? David Ash had better come to play.
Meanwhile, The Geno Smith Experience moves westward once again to Lubbock. West Virginia is looking like a contender for all sorts of titles at this point, but Texas Tech will be hungry after getting walloped by the Sooners. Dana Holgorsen spent the better part of a decade in West Texas on Mike Leach's staff. Expect plenty of talk about that this week, for better or worse.
Farmageddon! Step off, Nebraska and Iowa. Kansas State and Iowa State are the rightful owners of that rivalry nickname, and have played a bunch of tight games. Iowa State's looking pretty salty after beating down an already beatdown TCU team, knocking the Casey Pachall-less Frogs out of the Top 25. ISU debuted in the coaches' poll this week, but is still looking for a spot in the AP poll. The Cyclones couldn't get it done in Ames against Texas Tech, but expect another low-scoring game here.
Speaking of Pachall, the TCU quarterback had a huge night in Waco last year. Can Trevone Boykin do the same against a questionable Baylor defense? He'll have to for the Frogs to have any shot. Nobody's stopping Baylor's offense with much consistency, and TCU gave up 30 points to Iowa State's offense. Baylor's in another league compared to the Cyclones. Last year's game between these two was a classic, but without Pachall and RG3, will that still be the case?
Oklahoma State-Kansas was an embarrassment last year. I still think KU is a little better than last year's team, and it's obvious that OSU isn't quite as good. Last year's game was 35-7 after the first quarter, and OSU hung 70. It won't be hard to show some progress in this game, but the conference schedule's gotten off to an uninspired start. KU can't make 40-point wins a norm.
The other thing to keep an eye on? Oklahoma State's quarterback spots. Wes Lunt and J.W. Walsh are listed as co-starters. I'm betting Lunt is healthy enough to play this week, but is it wise to put him out there? Walsh can win this game and do it easily, but do you give Lunt more time to heal and reach 100 percent? Or do you play him in a game where he can be rusty and still win? Tough call.
For the first time all year, nobody in the Big 12 is off.
Here's the full Big 12 schedule this week (all times ET):
No. 6 Kansas State at Iowa State, noon, FX
No. 15 Texas vs. No. 13 Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, noon, ABC
Oklahoma State at Kansas, 3:30 p.m., Fox Sports Net
No. 5 West Virginia at Texas Tech, 3:30 p.m., ABC
TCU at Baylor, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Net

To me, this is the ultimate in Shakespearean imagery. Rough wood, rough lettering, rambunctious Shakespearean partying is the essence of this design. A character is raiding the mead barrel; he wears Tudor-style clothing with lace at the neck, slashed and puffed sleeves, and most likely a codpiece as well. His feathered hat has fallen onto the floor; he doesn't seem to notice as he happily pours the mead into a large stoneware pitcher. It appears he will be enjoying a large quantity of this beverage. Rough, hand-lettered text is mounted across the top and up the sides of this design. Overall, Elizabethan has the look of a woodblock print, and of fun times long, long ago. Customize Elizabethan labels today!
Note: Waterproof labels are not guaranteed to withstand a trip through the dishwasher because some dishwasher detergents are caustic and may cause the inks to dissolve.

maximumGPU - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkdoesn't their AX series also have "zero rpm fan mode" when below a certain threshold? Reply
EnzoFX - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkYes, but this is supposed to be lower end. It's still has all the whistles, so it's more like midrange? I sale prices to be lower, seeing as comparing at retail doesn't seem to have a big price difference. I welcome the practical wattage rain. The high end will probably go all platinum efficiency. Reply
Impulses - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkThe naming scheme is getting confusing, although I admit I haven't shopped for a PSU in a few years (not since I got the AX750)... First they had VX and HX, then they added AX as a premium line, when did TX happen? (or was that always in between VX & HX?) Now it's RM... Reply
FragKrag - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkTX has existed for a while now... Reply
Impulses - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkOk, yeah, and there was also a CX series I think... But why break convention now when they've updated the existing lines multiple times in the past. Reply
numberoneoppa - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI purchased a TX650 when the Nahalem (i7 920) came out, so it's been a while. They're due for a nice change, and modular? Sounds good to me. It looks like these are based off of the Seasonic G series, though (I'm not complaining). Reply
Indifference - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkBase on realhardtechx the OEM of this PSUs are CWT and Chicony. 750w and 850w variants are Chicony and the rest are CWT. Reply
numberoneoppa - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkCool, thanks. Reply
Flunk - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI believe their branding is purposefully confusing, similar to their memory branding. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkThey figure if they confuse you enough, you'll either go with the cheapest one regardless or the highest end. Either way, they're going to profit because those are the places where they make the most margin since they cheap the cheap out of cheap PSU's on the low end. Reply
Chugworth - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkUnless you've got some ridiculous setup that needs over 500 watts of power, just go with a fanless power supply. NewEgg has several of them. Reply
Daniel Egger - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI'll let Anandtech know the second I find someone who can even consume all that power and needs a 500+W PSU. Completely ridiculous! Even a latest and greatest latest dual GPU gamer setup is totally on the safe side with a 450W PSU. On the contrary it's almost impossible to source decent 200W PSUs which should be perfectly okay for most systems on this planet. Reply
garadante - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkActually, 450 watts is nowhere near enough for all but the most power efficient systems. Power supplies are most efficient at half loading, and you can nearly saturate a 450 watt supply with a single high end 7000 series card and mid-range everything else. So unless your dual GPUs are pitifully small, what you've said is a severe understatement. And as for 200 watts being enough for most people, most desktops consume 50-80~ watts idle, if not more. Put even a middling load on a basic system and you'll surpass 200 watts which would cause serious issues on the PSU.
But for the simple fact alone that PSUs are most efficient at 50% loading, should merit the wisest course of action to be buying a PSU with enough capacity to hit 50% load on it's most common loading that isn't irrelevantly small, like idle. That would put the ideal PSU for most systems somewhere in the 550-750 watt range. It also increases PSU lifespan not to be having it near 100% loading. Reply
madmilk - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkNo, that would not be okay for most dual-GPU setups. A high-end graphics card alone uses 200-250W, before overclocking. CPUs use between 84W for a stock i7-4770 to over 250W with an overclocked i7-3930K or FX-8350. Add in a couple hard drives, SSDs, optical drives, fans and the motherboard and you're easily looking at over 800W of power at load. Reply
jasonelmore - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkLooking at my UPS's lcd screen, i measured my system power load at 480 watts full load.
4770K CPU OC'd to 4.2 Ghz
Asus GTX 780
Maximus VI Motherboard
Swiftech Apogee Drive II Watercooling
2 SSD's in Raid
2 HDD's in Raid
granted the ssd's and hdd's werent even close to full load, i'd say 500 watts is a safe number. Adding another GTX 780 for a SLI Setup would almost certainly raise that up to 650w...... Reply
chaos215bar2 - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkI doubt you were really pushing even the CPU or GPU as far as possible. Remember, the amount of power these components use doesn't just depend on the proportion of time each core is doing something. It depends very much on the workload itself.
Sure, a 500 watt PSU will probably be enough most of the time, albeit sometimes running near 100% capacity (not a great idea, in general). However, what happens when you hit that random workload with just the right combination of instructions to push everything beyond you're measured 480 watts. Do you really thing it's worth occasionally driving your PSU beyond 100% capacity just to save a few dollars? Just get a PSU with a little headroom. Reply
chaos215bar2 - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - links/you're/your/g Reply
numberoneoppa - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkWhat a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of people (myself included) who easily push 500W. Besides that, do you not understand the efficiency numbers? Buying a PSU with more overhead will allow you to actually use less electricity, which is important for many of us who leave our computers on 24/7. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkOh well it's his house fire. Reply
bobbozzo - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkBigger power supplies are LESS efficient at low loads. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkMy 3960X + 660Ti kill a 450W "dynamic" power PSU. They make a 450W standard power supply cringe. Another video card? Will you pay for my house fire and replacement parts? Reply
IanCutress - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linkFor any GPU compute on big GPUs, you're in for a shock. For my OC'ed beast (dual CPU + 4x7970) I hit 1550W easily. For my daily (3960X + two 7950s) I can hit 650W with the right workload, which means I use something near a thousand.
Buying power supplies is like buying a car and doing 70mph everywhere. If you buy the one that does 80mph, you'll be punishing the car driving near its top speed. Buy a car that does 150mph, and 70mph is a walk in the park.
I know what you mean though - I can run a 5970+5870 bitcoin miner on a 500W PSU without issue, and it'll work day in day out, and I get a warranty. Though as it's never going to see a workload spike, it's not an issue there Reply
Gadgety - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linkYep, you must be right. I guess there isn't a market for these PSUs and that's why the companies launch them - they want to squander their resources and have no clue of what the market wants or needs. I admit I'm not in the main stream, but there are people who would like to see even more powerful and efficient PSUs than these - those who run dual CPUs and multiple GPUs on the same motherboard. I'd like to find a fully modular, really quiet 1800W+ PSU that is 80 Plus Titanium so that I can add a fourth GPU for rendering. Reply
bobbozzo - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - link20A circuits are so rare in the US that is is extremely unlikely anyone is going to offer a consumer PSU over 1500W. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkIIRC 20A circuits are required in the latest code for in the kitchen; although they're still uncommon outside of it. I think the bigger issue is that a 20A outlet/device requires a different plug than the standard 15A model. As a result to be in code an 1800W PSU in the us would need to come with a cable that couldn't be plugged into normal outlets. The returns from can't be bothered to read the box idiots from it would be prohibitively high. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkIf you need more than 1500W now you'll need to go dual PSU. You can buy supplemental units that fit into a 5.25" bay; or use two standard PSUs with a control cable to have them both turn on at the same time (a 24pin pass through that connects the power on signals to the second PSU as well). The main caveat is that you'll need to either upgrade your breaker and wiring to support 20A+ or to plug the second PSU to a different circuit.

MelvisLives - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linknever mind, seen it in the article now, i was just blind, they are really long though, 160mm for the low end and 180mm for the high power ones Reply
JDG1980 - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linkSounds like these could potentially be a nice choice, but I'd like to know who the OEM is first. Reply
RdVi - Sunday, September 15, 2013 - linkNice, I'm glad to see some cheaper PSU's with such features. I'm very happy with my fully modular Seasonic XP660 plus. In hybrid mode it hasn't turned on the fan once for my moderately overclocked system. If these are similar at the prices stated, then they'll be great purchases. I'm particularly glad that they're offering the lower wattage models, however, at the same physical size and such a small difference in price, even those who only need 450w are probably better going for the 650w in the hope that the fan might remain off in hybrid mode. Reply
everex11 - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkmy Aunty Brianna got an almost new red Jeep Cherokee SUV from only working part time on a computer... go to this website......www.pick85.com/ Reply
Hrel - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkWow, guess Seasonic finally has a competitor in the PSU space. I look forward the full review. Would love to see a dual/vs review including Seasonic's new "SS" series that replaces the "X" series of PSU's. These are the only 2 PSU's I know of with a "full silent" mode. But I'd be interested in a competitive comparison between every PSU that has this feature. Given the reasonable pricing I see no reason to ever buy a PSU that isn't fully silent ever again. THANK MOORE! Reply
owan - Monday, September 16, 2013 - linkCorsair doesn't truly compete with Seasonic.. in fact, Corsair re-brands Seasonic PSU's for some of their product lines, though they also use designs from CWT and Flextronics Reply
just4U - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkYep
Trying to find out which company actually makes these.. Reply
just4U - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkQuick Question here.. are these power supplies being made by Seasonic??? Reply
Rocket321 - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkZero RPM (silent) fan mode is awesome, I hope this becomes a checkbox item for every PSU in the next year. Reply

PsychLink is published by the Illinois Institute of Technology's College of Psychology twice a year and follows the academic calendar.
From the College Director
Those of you who were unable to attend PsychNite at Second City, e.t.c. missed a really great show. The cast of e.t.c. blessed us with hysterical bits, picking on almost every known group--including psychologists. This enabled Allen Wolach and Margaret Huyck to start their 31st year at IIT with belly laughs. My thanks to all who helped to make the evening possible: George Langlois, Russ Day, Claudia Bellucci, Doug Panozzo, Maureen Lacy, Olivia Anderson, Helene Yurk, Carol McDonough, Chris Freiburger, Hollie Sobel, Hi Ricky Asia Noodle Shop, United Airlines, CDW Computer Centers, Inc., Urban Oasis, and the more than 130 attendees. Over thirty tickets were donated to sponsor attendance of students. What a fun time! Let us not forget Lemon' Jello...
The faculty in psychology have continued to be incredibly productive. Chow Lam visited China where he is setting the groundwork for an international collaboration in which we will provide training to Chinese medical professionals in the area of rehabilitation. Chow met with three prominent Chinese universities as well as IIT alumnus David Ho, a highly successful clinical psychologist in China. We are seeking funding for this project, which is slated to launch in December. Please contact us immediately if you or anyone you know would be interested in providing financial support for this exciting new endeavor.
Other notable faculty accomplishments include the award to Margaret Huyck, Paul Barrett of humanities, and David Arditi of civil and architectural engineering for best visual aid in the undergraduate research IPRO conference; Joyce Hopkins is working on a foundation proposal to support her work on infant and maternal attachment; Charles Merbitz will be on sabbatical for the next academic year; Allen Wolach has sold more than 100,000 copies of his book Basics of Timex® Sinclair 1000, ZX81 Basic.
We are hosting and planning more activities to allow people to rebuild and retain a relationship with psychology at IIT. We will be launching a lecture series in the upcoming year. For those of you who have achieved prominence in specialty areas or unique subject areas, please contact me if you would be willing to devote time to speaking to others about your work.
Additionally, we have had a number of successful information breakfasts in which psychology alumni have had an opportunity to meet with IIT's president Lew Collens, a psychology board member, myself and others to hear about the changes occurring on campus. Our next breakfast is scheduled for July 14, 1999. Anyone interested in attending should call immediately.
Enjoy the summer and be in touch.
--M. Ellen Mitchell, Ph.D.
Progress at the Center for Research and Service
My first year as Director at the Center has been both exciting and challenging. We have increased Center revenue over 300% from the previous year, while building an infrastructure to drive future growth. With proposals pending and a solid base of clients, prospects for the coming year look very good. Owing to our business activity, we were able to fund two full-time graduate assistantships. In addition, many graduate students were able to grow, develop and contribute through their involvement in the Center's consulting assignments. Dr. Nambury Raju, Distinguished Professor and Senior Scientific Advisor to the Center, was pivotal in developing several significant clients for the Center this year. His work included a contract for large scale psychometric analyses of a popular 360-degree feedback instrument published by a major consulting firm. This work has contributed a large database that is currently being used in two masters theses and one doctoral dissertation.
Other substantial projects during this past fiscal year include:
- Development and implementation of a custom 360-degree feedback system for manufacturing supervisors
- Design and implementation of an assessment center for selection of team members and team leaders in a major financial services center
- Team building for partners in a nationally recognized law firm
- An organizational survey for a major oil company
- Several training needs analyses surveys with follow-up curriculum design and delivery of training programs
- Development and validation of an industrial math skills test
We owe our success to many people who have supported the Center in various ways. While these supporters are too numerous to list, I would especially like to thank our board members, our clients, and the members of the IIT community, including our administration, college faculty, and graduate students. Let's look forward to another great year together!

Thursday Fun Video: iDriver iPhone Remote Controlled Car
Unreal that's awesome
Super cool. Super cool. Super. Cool. I love it. But how close must you be to the car if it is given directions via a wifi connection?? And if the car would ever be able to go out on the open road, how much more of a delay would there be if something were to go wrong(ex-A semi runs a red light) could te operator tap the brake button and the van would stop in time? Lol just very curious about this... And "Artificial Intelligence Group"? Uh oh. I'm sensing there is going to be a monopoly and major economic crash with this company, that probably uses "AIG" for a logo. Hahaha
Artificial Intelligence group? Well they didn't have the intelligence to do what anyone with any sense and an iphone cotrolled car should do...MOTOSURF!!!!
America does it cheaper and does it quicker, 4 weeks...bam, eat that germany!!!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The social safety net that's supposed to protect kids in care didn't look strong Monday at the inquiry into the death of little Phoenix Sinclair. Social workers and a psychiatrist each testified they did what they were supposed to do, or the best they could with what they had to work with.
The psychiatrist who assessed Phoenix's mother for Winnipeg Child and Family Services testified he was asked to find out if Samantha Kematch was depressed, not whether she was able to parent or likely to murder her child, which she did five years later.
Dr. Gary Altman told the inquiry into the death of the little girl in care he consulted weekly for CFS and met once with Kematch for less than an hour.
Kerri-Lynn Greeley, the social worker in charge of Phoenix's case from the time she was a month old until she was reunited with her birth parents at five months, had asked Altman to see if depression was the reason for Kematch's "flat affect" (a severe reduction in emotional expressiveness) and "ambivalence toward the baby."
Greeley was the social worker who decided to return Phoenix at five months to Kematch and her biological father, Steve Sinclair, a week before Altman assessed the mother. Greeley testified last week at the inquiry Kematch and Sinclair were meeting all of the requirements set out in a court order for them to regain custody of the daughter taken from them at birth. Altman said he was given a brief oral rundown on Kematch by Greeley.
He was told Kematch had a troubled past as a foster child, had already lost a son to care and that Phoenix was apprehended at birth. Altman wasn't shown any of the files on Phoenix or Kematch.
He said he wasn't asked to assess whether Kematch was capable of parenting but to find out if she was depressed.
Altman said he interviewed her at the CFS office with Sinclair present. He said he can't recall details of the meeting but relied on the notes he took at the time.
The psychiatrist deduced Kematch wasn't depressed but was a "closed book" in her dealings with others.
He told the inquiry there could have been other reasons for her ambivalence toward her baby, and they might have affected her ability to parent the child, but that wasn't what CFS asked him to find out, Altman said.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority paid him to provide three hours a week of consultation to Child and Family Services.
He'd go to agency offices to help social workers and give them feedback and advice for dealing with their clients.
He wasn't there to treat patients, Altman told the inquiry.
After meeting a client and debriefing the social worker, he had no expectation of ever meeting that client again, he said.
Altman said he kept notes but didn't provide written reports for clients' files.
A year after Phoenix was born, Kematch delivered her third child in April 2001. A Health Sciences Centre social worker who could not be publicly identified told the inquiry Delores Chief-Abigosis, the CFS social worker now handling the case, was notified about the birth and had no idea that Kematch was even pregnant.
Chief-Abigosis took over the Phoenix file from Greeley in October 2000 and is expected to testify at the inquiry next week.
An internal review released by the commission of inquiry last week said from October 2000 until March 2001, there was no recorded CFS contact with Phoenix's family even though a six-month service agreement filed with the court said there was to be "regular contact" with a social worker.
The hospital social worker said they didn't check in on Kematch and her new baby after they were discharged from the hospital because that wasn't the job of the hospital social worker, the inquiry heard.
When Kathy Peterson Epps took over Phoenix's CFS case from Chief-Abigosis in August 2001, it wasn't high on the priority list, Peterson Epps told the inquiry Monday.
"Quite frankly, we had to prioritize more high- risk cases," said the social worker, who recalled dealing with 30 to 40 "challenging" cases at once. At that time, Phoenix Sinclair's case appeared "pretty much ready to be closed."

A STAFF member at a local gaming centre is to trek 100 kilometres across the world's hottest desert and is appealing for local support to help raise £50,000 for charity.
Phil Gibbs, marketing manager at Cashino in Fore Street, Bridgwater, will walk across The Sahara to raise money for The Responsible Gambling Trust, a national charity which encourages people to gamble responsibly through education and provides treatment services for people with gambling problems.
Phil is one of 24 people, representing different sectors of the gambling industry, taking part in the desert trek and has set himself the personal challenge of raising £3,000.
Phil said: "I must admit, the prospect of walking for days across the largest desert on the African continent was slightly daunting, especially when I found out how hot it's going to be; but it will be worth it if we hit our fundraising target."

The American Idol Audition That Has Everyone Talking, Lazaro Arbos [VIDEO]
Last night American Idol took their auditions to Chicago, the last contestant of the night brought a tear to I'm pretty sure everyone's eyes. Meet 21-year-old Lazaro Arbos. He's originally from Cuba, and has a severe stuttering problem, and on top of that he has a pretty thick accent. None of these things are his fault, but it's really hard to watch him struggling through his first few words, you can't help but feel so bad for him. But just wait and hear him sing, it will absolutely blow your mind.

Wow, not even one sentence, just a title and a picture? That's rare to see here
so.. is this not the correct address for apples store? Official Apple Online Store - Buy Mac Computers and Notebooks, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and More - Apple Store (U.S.) ??
uhh no your correct. that links right. But in the email its not because its hyperlink code like this:
You see store.apple.com as the link, but the link is to derpyderp.com or whatever, not what its named as.Code:store.apple.com
Also i wouldnt mind some ukrainian girls who want to laugh a little together . If only they were legitimate.
Here lately, I've seen similar emails (not from Apple) that are one solid picture tagged with a link. It looks as though phishers are screenshotting the main web page or an official email, modifying it with some sort of photoshoppin' program, and linking the whole picture to whatever site.

The son of an 89-year-old Melksham man has been left devastated after thieves stole his late father's ashes.
The last remains of George Tye, an 89-year-old widower who died in 2011, were stolen when his house in Sarum Avenue, Melksham was broken into over the New Year period.
His son Charles Tye, who now lives in Minneapolis in the United States, discovered the theft when he visited his father's home to clear his belongings yesterday. The ashes were left in two cardboard tubes in a hessian bag on the hearth next to the spot where his father liked to sit.
Burglars broke into the house after removing a rear window. Three bottles of whisky were also taken, which were intended as gifts for neighbour who had been looking after the house.
Mr Tye said: "I can't believe anybody would do that. They are welcome to the whisky, but I just want to lay my father to rest.
"We were at the final stages of getting rid of the furniture, so there was nothing else there worth stealing. We looked in all the usual places, in rubbish bins and the compost bin, but there was no sign of it."
The bag has two white handles at the top and a small red flower in the bottom corner. The cardboard tubes have metal stoppers.
Mr Tye had intended to scatter his father's ashes in Paisley in Scotland where the remains of his mother were laid to rest, and at sea, to honour his navy career.
"I was horrified when I discovered that the bag had been taken. I was extremely close to my father and it would mean a tremendous amount to me to get them back.
"My reaction was that I shouldn't have left the ashes where they were, but they were in my father's favourite spot where he sat in his chair.
"I would be enormously grateful if anyone who has seen the bag or the cardboard tubes could keep them safe and contact Wiltshire Police as soon as possible."
George Tye worked as a civil servant at the Ministry of Defence after serving in the Royal Navy in Hong Kong and Singapore. He moved to Melksham 35 years ago, and died last year of heart failure.
Detective Constable Nicky Caffrey, of the Priority Crime Team at Melksham, said: "It is possible that the burglars took the bag and the cardboard containers believing them to contain bottles of alcohol. Once they opened the containers they may have discarded them somewhere, not realising the significance of the contents.
"Anyone who has any information is asked to call the Priority Crime Team at Melksham on 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously."
