TEDMEDLive FAQs
What is TEDMEDLive?
Viewers program their part of this once-a-year global event by selecting the most relevant sessions that are of particular importance to their audience. Live simulcast and time-delayed (on demand) viewing capabilities of all sessions give viewers maximum flexibility on scheduling during the 3 days and the following 2 days. Our mobile app can also be used by TEDMED Live Viewers to bring the audiences together online.
May I have my own independent speakers?
When hosting a TEDMED Live simulcast we expect and encourage each viewer to foster conversations and discussions about the TEDMED talks among its audience. This may even include involving your own subject matter experts to facilitate further discussion about the content delivered from the TEDMED stage.
However, in order to use the TEDMED Live logo and content, your gathering should be centered around the TEDMED simulcast content as the focal point. Independent speakers delivering content or talks unapproved by TEDMED is prohibited.
So TEDMEDLive is not a TEDx event?
Affiliates can choose to participate by watching a live video stream or by watching our on-demand stream. This way, Affiliates can watch as TEDMED happens, or afterwards, through the weekend following the TEDMED event.

Great Challenges
What are the Great Challenges of Health and Medicine?
For the purposes of TEDMED's program, the Great Challenges of Health and Medicine are defined as complex problems with medical and non-medical causes, effects and dimensions. As such, these Challenges cannot be solved through any one-shot solution, magic bullet, laboratory breakthrough or test-tube cure.
For this reason, Great Challenges such as childhood obesity, the caregiver crisis, and the others on our list must be addressed by examining many factors simultaneously – not just medical and scientific, but also social, economic, environmental, political, legal, ethical and more.
What is the Great Challenges Program?
TEDMED's Great Challenges Program provides an online platform for our multi-disciplinary community to engage in year-round dialog on 20 difficult and persistent Challenges in health and medicine. The Challenges were selected by the TEDMED community.
What is the goal of the Great Challenges Program?
The goal of TEDMED's Great Challenges Program is not find solutions to the complex problems that our community has selected to focus on, but rather to generate a deeper and broader understanding that can set the stage for truly effective action.
What are the 20 Great Challenges and how are they selected?
The list of this year's 20 great Challenges can be found here.
In April of 2012, TEDMED community members across the U.S. learned about a list of 50 proposed Great Challenges, then voted to determine 20 that would be TEDMED's focus for the coming year. The Challenges that received the most votes are included in this year's roster.
How can I get involved with the Great Challenges Program?
You can get involved by joining the community at GreatChallenges. Create an account and contribute to the dialog on one or more Challenges that interests you. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions, share opinions and comments, post useful links, and engage in online conversation with our Challenge Teams and with other community members. TEDMED also encourages community members to spread the word and bring their own networks and contacts to the program.
Is there a way I can get updates about the Great Challenges Program?
There are a number of ways you can stay up to date, including:
- Joining our mailing list
- Following us on Twitter
- Finding us on Facebook
- Reading our Blog
- Subscribing to our RSS feed
- Continually checking the Great Challenges Website for the most recently posted content
- Participate in one or both of the live online "town halls" that each Challenge Team will generate, by asking questions or posting comments.
Who are the Great Challenge Team members and what do they do?
For each Challenge, TEDMED has recruited a team of six or seven experts in various relevant fields, such that each Team combines multi-disciplinary perspectives about its specific Challenge. Team members interact with each other and the community by leading discussion and participating in our G+ Hangouts that happen every two weeks. Find out more about these live discussions, here.
Since one Challenge in the program deals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, why aren't cancer or other diseases represented?
Two of the original 50 proposed Challenges did deal with large classes of diseases, one of which was cancer in youth populations. Both of these Challenges were carefully framed within a larger context of social, political, economic, legal, ethical and environmental factors.
The final 20 Challenges that are included in this year's Program were determined by vote of the TEDMED community.

Jessica Shade has taken over leadership of science programs at The Organic Center, housed in the Washington, D.C., office of the Organic Trade Association.
The directorship was newly created for the purpose of managing upcoming science programs and related communicated activities for the center, according to a news release. She began work on Feb. 19.
The center's mission is to find evidence-based science on the health and environmental benefits of organic food and farming, and to communicate those findings to the public, according to the release.
Effective communication with consumers is one area Shade hopes to focus on in this position.
"Unfortunately, there is a disconnect between science and the public, because science is reported in journals that are not always accessible to the public without costly subscriptions, and the articles are written in language that is difficult to understand," Shade said in an e-mail.
She says this barrier can distance consumers.
"I hope to act as an instrument to connect the public and industry with scientific research studies that impact them," Shade said.
Shade also hopes to encourage consumers to choose organic options as a way to increase environmental benefits.
"Eating organic is one of the simplest ways people can help the environment, and one of my goals is to remind environmentally minded individuals that their consumption choices really do matter," she said in an e-mail.
Category predictions
Some of Shade's predictions for the organic industry over the next few years include an increase in the number of organic-specific crop varieties.
"These varieties are selected for their ability to thrive in organically managed conditions without the aid of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers," she said.
In addition to these growing benefits, Shade says the organic varieties have nutritional benefits, too.
"One of the unintended benefits of selecting for the ability to maintain health and vigor in low-input farming systems is that the crops tend to make more nutrients that are beneficial to humans," she said.
Shade recently met with Jim Myers, a professor at Oregon State University, who is working with the Northern Organic Vegetable Improvement Collaborative.
"Recently, one of professor Myers' graduate students compared their organic broccoli varieties with conventional varieties and found higher carotenoids in the organic variety," she said.
Other future collaborative projects include weed-resistant carrots and disease-resistant snap peas, as well as seed corn varieties designed for cold soil emergence and winter squash with long-term storability.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- French media and telecommunications group Vivendi could face new breakup pressure after it emerged Friday, that Japan's Softbank had about three months ago offered $8.5 billion for Vivendi's Universal Music Group but had been rejected.News of the proposal first appeared in the Financial Times and was later reported by outlets including The New York Times. Vivendi spokesman Jean-Louis Erneux declined to comment. One source said the company "would not entertain such an offer as their whole strategy is based on media and content." But the offer could pile pressure on Vivendi chairman Jean-Rene Fortou to extend its telecoms-focused disposals program to media interests. It comes as Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC hedge fund wages a campaign to get Sony ( SNE) to split off its entertainment division. The reported $8.5 billion offer, while as much as $2 billion more than some analysts' valuation for Universal Music, compares with an $8.1 billion price tag that Liberum Capital Ltd. analyst Ian Whittaker puts on the business. "There are two ways to look at this from an investors' standpoint," he said. "The negative way is to say that if they were presented with an $8.5 billion cash offer and didn't take it, are they really going to do radical restructuring?" he said. "The other way suggests that their assets have greater value than people had expected." He doesn't expect Vivendi to sell the business. "If you are focusing on content, music -- you would think -- would be a core part of that," he said. "The music industry is starting to grow again very slightly. There are many more music subscription services so there are a lot more deals out there than there have been in the past. Margins tend to be quite high on these revenue streams." The proposal would have been made before Softbank in June sweetened its agreed bid for Sprint Nextel ( S) to $21.6 billion, forcing Charles Ergen's Dish Network ( DISH) to retreat. It would also have come about a year after Fortou declared a review of all of the conglomerate's operations with "no taboos." Vivendi as a result decided to strengthen its media and content operations, while maximizing returns from telecoms, but little corporate action has taken place to date. Vivendi failed to offload Brazilian telecom unit GVT, though is still trying to sell its stake in Maroc Telecom. In April it disclosed talks with two bidders, Qatar Telecom QSC and Emirates Telecommunications, for the stake, which is worth about $6 billion.

Ivy League Championships information
Heat and Lane Assignments (PDF)
Penn Boatings (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania women's rowing team has been preparing all spring-- all year, really-- for this Sunday. The second annual Ivy League Championships take place Sunday at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, N.J.
Heats will be contested starting at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, and continue through 9:40. Finals will begin at 3:05 p.m., and conclude with the varsity 8 grand final at 5 p.m.
The Ivy League champion will be determined by the fastest boat in the varsity eight grand final, which is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. The winning varsity eight boat will give that school the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, which means that team's varsity 8, second varsity 8, and varsity 4 A gain automatic entry. The NCAA Championships will be contested May 31-June 2 in Indianapolis.
"I can't believe the end of our season is here already," said Penn head coach Mike Lane. "We have a great group of kids this year, and it has been my pleasure to coach them this spring. Although we did not reach some of the goals we set, the Ivy League Championships is an opportunity to make those mistakes go away.
"We have worked really hard and now we have the opportunity to do something special. These kids deserve it; however, they have to lay it all out on the Cooper on Sunday. That's what's so exciting about competition, it all comes down to one performance on race day! I know our kids are ready to put together an amazing performance on Sunday."
Penn faces a daunting task on Sunday, as six of the eight programs involved in the Championships are ranked in the latest USRowing/CRCA National Coaches Poll. Princeton is fifth, while Harvard is eighth; Yale is ninth; Brown is 12th; Columbia is 15th; and Cornell is 16th. Penn and Dartmouth are among teams receiving votes (Penn 14, Dartmouth 5).
"The Ivy League is the strongest league in the country for rowing," said Lane. "We are proud to be a part of that tradition and speed."

"I ordered this invitation for two of my friends' engagement parties and it was so great. I customized the card with their names, and the proof came back exactly how I wanted it. The card was delivered on time, and the fitted rectangular envelopes didn't require any extra postage."
"These are so so beautiful! The design is absolutely gorgeous and was so so easy to personalise the invite! We ordered these for our engagement party and everyone loved them. I cant wait to order again! Thank you sooo much!"
"The invitations came the day they said they would. I absolutely love them. Many friends and family have told me how much they love them. The paper is really great quality."
"Once again our Wedding Paper Diva product was point on. This print is soft, light, and brings plenty of color to set your tone. With that said, don't forget to try different color filters on the flowers. We went with warm and rich orange petrels to match our fall wedding!"
"I ordered these beautiful engagement invitations on 04/09 and received them yesterday (04/17). Shipping was very quick, however they did not provide a tracking number. I just wish they had provided a tracking number as we live in an apartment complex. Overall, the quality of my invitations was great! Our address is extremely long and we had to wait a few days to have their design team alter the layout of the invitation. They gave us several options to choose from on the address layout. I really enjoyed this complimentary service, as I felt our invitations were more personalized. I am very happy with our invitations. ☺"

I'm guessing that, in the end, getting gatorade and glucosamine pills would probably end up costing the same as the WA powder would.
How does that stuff taste and do you know if any stores sell individual packs?
And have you tried their meal replacement shakes? I'm think something like that might be good mixed in with the Carnation instant breakfast.

And while you enjoy your holiday and your cookout, or whatever you're doing — not to mention Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals — take a few minutes to remember what we're celebrating today.
Take a moment to remember and appreciate those who sacrificed so much for all of us. I can't even imagine what so many of our veterans and active-duty soldiers have gone through.

I know, the finals are great but you guys need Rangers.
OK, here's some. MSG Network's series "MSG Countdown" which debuted last week, tomorrow night at 8 p.m. offers "Rangers Fights, Brawls and Melees."
I have seen the video and it's pretty good. I would have included a few others in place of, for example, P.J. Stock beating up Mariusz Czerkawski, or Joe Paterson (as a Ranger) fighting Nick Fotiu (as a Flyer). I would have included Joey Kocur vs. Bob Probert; the Rangers-Flyers preseason brawl of 1985; some "best of" Barry Beck or Eddie Johnstone; the tag-teamer against Washington in the playoffs, where Mark Hardy beat up Geoff Courtnall and Kris King outslugged Nick Kypreos at center ice, Clark Gillies-Eddie Hospodar; George McPhee-Dave Brown (they had a McPhee-Rick Tocchet punchout, but not the one from the '86 playoffs); Fotiu-Holmgren or Fotiu (as a Ranger)-anybody, etc.
But what they came up with was a pretty good sampling. Definitely worth a watch.

chucknelson - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkThanks for the update. The 500 GB 840 in my MacBook Pro has worked great, but of course that's with only light / "normal" use. It does have the production firmware (6B0Q), so hopefully I'll never see any major issues. Reply
stdin - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkLikewise the 840 Pro works like a charm on mine. Verified that I have production firmware so that's always good. Thanks Anandtech!
Also, don't forget to enable TRIM on it as OS X doesn't support it out of the box. Reply
ImSpartacus - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkDo you bootcamp by chance?
I've been considering the 840/840 Pro as an upgrade to my Macbook Pro 13 '09 because of their low weight and low power consumption. I almost always run in a bootcamped copy of Windows 7 64-bit.
Considering how I already have minor driver issues just from bootcamping, installing an SSD makes me nervous. Enabling AHCI mode doesn't sound fun.
So if you bootcamp, have you had any issues/adventures with your 840 Pro in Windows?
P.S. I'm sorry to be 'that guy' that's asking these sorts of questions in a comments thread, but it's not easy to find Macbook users utilizing a particular SSD and this article is kinda about 840 reliability anyway. Reply
dashelj - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI bootcamp windows 7 x64 on an old 2007 unsupported MacBook Pro with no problems with my SSD. It is an old intel x series. Reply
Vizsla1086 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI gave up Bootcamp as the virtualization options became better and better. While I have a slight preference for Fusion, Parallels 8 is terrific as well. My experience has been that virtualization is now so fast, it makes little sense to boot down to boot up and vice-versa. Just stay in OSX and call in the virtualization when you need it. Even better, pause functions in both Fusion and Parallels release the processor and memory holds, so you can literally keep your windows programs right at hand without any delay in calling them.
Virutlaization is *worlds* better using an SSD. If you make the move to an SSD, move as well to virtualization and forego Bootcamp. Even better, you can install either program, virtualize bootcamp, and then remove the boot camp partition without any loss of data (or keep it and reach it using either Fusion or Parallels without having to reboot. Reply
Alexvrb - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkHe said he almost always runs in Win7. So in his case why take any performance hit at all? Why waste RAM and reduce I/O performance? The real question is... if you mostly run Win7... why not just get an Ultrathin PC?
In your case though, Vizsla, it sounds like virtualization is the better choice. Reply
Vizsla1086 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI've done it both ways. Biggest issue is which platform dominates the network, and there are reasons to stay with OSX if one has other devices using IOS or OSX. iPhones, iPads and the like still work better on Macs than they do on PCs.
It's getting harder, though, to make these decisions. Apple's pricing is becoming absurd, and their current desktop offerings are not very good as value propositions.
Since my wife's business runs on Macs (McPractice), I've moved the home network to all Mac, but I'm reconsidering. Fusion Drive (as opposed to VMware Fusion) is not a good solution for Pros and/or power users, and the iMac presents no good alternative. Meanwhile, no Mac Pro, either.
I'm increasingly thinking of switching back to Windows just because of the cost element. I'd move to Linux in a heartbeat except there's still no alternative to Quicken, and a few other programs I use every day. If I'm going to virtualize, I'll stay with Macs.
imSpartacus seems to want to stay with OSX and Macs, which is perfectly reasonable. If he stays there, though, I think virtualization is better than bootcamp. If all I did was run the laptop in Bootcamp, I'd surely find a way to ditch Mac and move to PCs. Reply
mdrejhon - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkI purchased a pair of two Intel 240GB SSD's and did a RAID 0 on them them. Now a hibernated virtual machine wakes up and resumes running in just 2 seconds! Even if it has six or seven applications already open inside them! In fact, that's faster than relaunching the individual applications on the same said SSD, too! Reply
orionb - Sunday, December 02, 2012 - linkImpressive! Reply
orionb - Sunday, December 02, 2012 - linkThanks for sharing your experiences with Virtualization! I've been wondering if I want to bootcamp or virtualize, and it sounds like virtual will work for me. Reply
Bownce - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkAfter decades of using and supporting Windows (back to 2.0; dropping Apple when they orphaned us Apple ][ users), I got an iMac 27" Mid-2010 i5 (bumped to 8Gb or RAM). I virtuualize Win7x64 using Fusion for some pretty complex stuff and it works fine. I find I use Win less and less but those remaining processes still run well. Reply
iCrunch - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkHi! I'm interested in your preference for VMWare Fusion 5(is it?), as compared to Parallels 8. I seem to remember that Fusion has become significantly better since version 3, 4, and now 5, while Parallels has as well but not to the same extent. Presumably because VMWare started to actually *care* about its Mac virtualization solution.
As for the 840/840 Pro update, I'm glad to hear that Samsung is not having to recall any drives, which would have hurt them considerably. I love my 256GB 830 Series in my Retina MBP, which Apple calls "Flash" and in System Information renames it Apple SM256E. Fair enough to call it Flash seeing that it's not like there's a 1.8" or 2.5" SSD enclosure inside the rMBP. TRIM is on by default, of course, because the drive originated from Apple. I sincerely hope that Apple will at least still procure its Flash/SSD's from Samsung. Maybe we'll see the 840 Pro in the next refresh. The RAM in the rMBP is also from Samsung, although they're using Hynix in the new iMac's. (really cool looking black SODIMM's lol) Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkYah, thanks Anand!
Just bought a 128GB version of the 840; it's going in a friend's computer, so I sure hope it stays reliable! That's one reason I bought a Samsung drive, and if the reliability on the new drives isn't there - well, OCZ will look mighty good. Reply
phil13 - Wednesday, December 11, 2013 - linkI have one that failed, only show 0.9GB, SN: 000000000, Firmware: DXT06BO0, even samsung Magician software can see it, but say that there is no samsung SSD drive.
It does look the firmware problem, all feel ok.
Any solutions and help? appreciate, thanks. Reply
n0x1ous - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkAnand,
Any chance Samsung will make their Magician tool for OS X so we don't have to revert to TRIM hacks? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkIt's coming early next year from what I've been told. Reply
tyger11 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkThe 840 Pro is one of the few that supports encryption - any chance of a review of how that works, and what type of performance hit you take? I've not seen anyone take that on yet. Reply
Guspaz - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkAll Sandforce drives encrypt the data; are you sure the encryption process on the 840 Pro isn't transparent?
There's not necessarily any way to validate this on the SandForce drives short of desoldering a NAND package from the SSD and trying to read the NAND directly without the controller. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI don't think that's the type of encryption he was alluding to, might've been referring to some sort of hardware accelerated encryption for stuff like AES, for like Bitlocker and whatnot. Reply
tyger11 - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkYes, the 840 Pro supports AES at the hardware level. Very few SSDs do. I've not seen any review yet that has done any testing of how much of a performance hit this entails, how much more (if any) writes it subjects the drive to, or anything at all, really. Reply
Araemo - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkThe "encryption" on all these drives sucks. Much like sandforce, most of the drives are full-time encrypted, and you can use a ATA password (usually set via the bios) to 'lock' the drive so that it cannot load the encryption key unless you supply the ATA password.
However, That is a single password supplied during BIOS/EFI-level boot, so the integration with any kind of actual encryption software is completely nonexistant, and the drive looks like an unencrypted drive to the OS. Reply
Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linklolwut?
Why does that suck? Without the hard drive password, there's absolutely no chance of anyone accessing your data, even if they disassemble the drive and read each flash chip separately. That sounds like an ideal solution to me.
I agree that there are cases where someone wants some form of "plausible deniability", but I would imagine that many users will be content knowing that their data is inaccessible to anyone with physical access to their devices. Reply
Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI want to second this. I'm strongly considering an 840 Pro for my ThinkPad based on the ability to use hardware encryption and I'd really like to know how well it works, any possibly caveats, and whatnot. The ThinkPad does support hard drive passwords and I'd like to have a dual-boot Windows/Linux setup. Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkFYI - The Plextor M5P is also reported to support 128 encryption Reply
bse8128 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkMy 830 recently showed strange behaviour. It looked like all IOs had a latency of ~8-9 milliseconds. 4K random IO was down to < 200 iops according to AS-SSD while the "4K-64Thrd" value looked normal.
I found a few other reports of this strange behaviour. It's not fixable by secure-erasing.
Who knows how many of those drives are out there. I guess not everyone will even notice this. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkSo what'd you do, send it in for warranty replacement? Reply
bse8128 - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkYes, but only recently, I haven't got a replacement yet. Reply
Kogies - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI have an 830 (64gb) in an old Atom netbook. I am about to begin testing, it seems slower than the mechanical hard drive that was in there, which frankly doesn't seem right! Reply
Swede(n) - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkAnand,
It would be somewhat interesting if the behaviour of TRIM has changed with the Firmware 3B0Q/6B0Q compared to when You tested it the first time with the older firmware.
Sincerely Reply
cbf - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkSCSI\DiskSamsung_SSD_840_PRO_SeriDXM0
So which firmware do I have? Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkThe full version for the retail 840 Pro firmware is DXM03B0Q.
For mine, Device Manager displays the whole thing. I am not sure why the screenshot here only shows the 3B0Q, or why your Windows is truncating the part after DXM0.
You can also check the firmware version with a program like Crystal Disk Info. That should definitely display the whole version for you. Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkBy the way, I think I know why your firmware version is truncated. I think you are using Intel's IASTOR/RST driver rather than the MSAHCI driver. I can tell becuase of the "SCSI" part. MSAHCI starts with "IDE".
Anyway, MSAHCI seems to show the full version string, whereas IASTOR seems to truncate it.
But you can always check the full firmware version by reading the SMART information, using something like Crystal Disk Info, gsmartcontrol, or just smartctl. Reply
Beaver M. - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkGood to hear, now all we need is availability on the 512 GB one. Anyone know when they will be available? Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkAnother day another SSD rushed out the door without proper validation. Will the insanity ever stop with these SSD makers? It's completely unscrupulous to ship improperly validated hardware to reviewers or customers.
Often review hardware is hand-picked and sometimes even tweaked to give better than normal performance in benches. This can mean millions of dollars to an SSD, mobo, RAM, etc. maker, so you can understand why this consumer fraud is common and systemic. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkAehm... the thing that is being sold does not have that issue in all likelyhood. Are you expecting all pre-released hardware and software to function without bugs? Do you know why there are (pre) alpha and beta releases? But please, continue your ranting, it makes you seem smart and well balanced. Reply
Metaluna - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkIt should be a little alarming that they are catching and fixing major, showstopper, data destroying bugs only a few months before commercial release. The lack of firmware stability has been an endemic problem in the SSD industry. This kind of thing only reinforces the theory that there is a rather cavalier attitude towards quality control in the industry. One that you don't usually see on mechanical drives, for example (it happens, but it's more the exception than the rule). Granted, SSD tech is moving pretty fast these days, but the stuff they're doing to push magnetic recording into extreme high densities isn't exactly simple either.
You don't usually see major crashes or stability problems on Windows 7 or 8, OSX, etc in the same pre-release time frame, for example. If Intel was having Ivy Bridge chips crash and melt down in the socket a few months before their stated release date it would be a disaster. Reply
Mr Perfect - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkYou took until page three today, I was starting to get worried. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkIs slightly that Samsung gave reviewers a pre-production firmware , and did not inform them. Only after Anand revealed the the drives failure,did Samsung make a clean chit.
Of course, the retail SSD have the final firmware. SO thats OK. Reply
Rick83 - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkMaybe the review firmware is...faster :O Reply
damianrobertjones - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkDid they ever fix the Samsung series 9 Wi-Fi problems? No
Did they ever fix the Samsung 7 slate screen separation issues? No
Two VERY expensive items so HEAVEN knows how they deal with cheap items.
...and now this: (At least there's an update)
"All retail samples should ship with a newer firmware revision (3B0Q/6B0Q) that have this bug fixed" - The word SHOULD strikes me with FEAR as so many people won't bother updating the firmware and literally moments after moving their backups onto the drive it'll fail. I can see it happening. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkWhich will only be a pain in the ass for Samsung: those drives are clearly faulty and have to be replaced without cost to the buyer. It will generate negative press for Samsung that will likely translate to fewer units sold. Samsung has no incentive to see faulty SSDs. But if they had not included the word "should", it would have been disingenuous, because nobody is perfect and they can't guarantee that there won't be issues. This way, to me at least, I know they aren't just talking PR crap.
Also, who moves their backup to a drive and deletes the backup? I see no issue in the example you provide above, except some lost time.... ? Reply
Cryptohead - Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - linkHi
I want to by this SSD for Mac Book Pro 2012 mid year. From earlier posts here it seems to work good with new FW. Any other experience ?
Thanks. Reply
bugguts - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkFor those of you who are using Linux, you can get the controller firmware version by doing:
"dmesg|grep -i samsung" and looking for the line in the output that matches your drive. For example, mine reads:
# dmesg|grep -i samsung
[ 1.322495] ata1.00: ATA-9: Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series, DXM03B0Q, max UDMA/133
[ 1.323397] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA Samsung SSD 840 DXM0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
So I can see that I have version 3B0Q. Reply
Jedimind82 - Friday, December 07, 2012 - linkHey guys, first of all thanks for the great article.
Second, help :(
So I decided to try this 840 pro 256gb. I had two samsung 830 128gb in raid 0, and everything was great exepct for loss of TRIM.
I setup the bios with AHCI, installed windows and noticed it required me to install windows with a GPT partition. Installed fine. Updated drivers, windows update, you know the standard stuff after a fresh install.
Now i'm getting random BSOD, all with the same error, storport sys driver_irql_not_less_or_equal 0x000000D1.
Whats up with that. So I thought it was a fluke, reinstalled windows. Same thing. Hmmm... 20 reinstalls later and started using intel RSTe release and other drivers. No luck.
Thought got a bad draw on the drive, when to Frys, exchanged it, installed it. Same thing. Ugh!
1 week later, I'm here, seeing if anyone has had any issues.

firstname.lastname@example.com - Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - linkI have similar trouble. 2x Samsung 840 pro 256GB died in the interval of 2-48 hours with error Drive not ready. Only power off/on make accessible the drive back for the next 2-48 hours.
There are official answer from Samsung support.
As mentioned previously we do not support any RAID set up. All we can recommend is that you update the firmware on the Samsung SSD. Also make sure that your BIOS and controllers are all up to date.
I use the newest firmware 4B0Q. But some bug in hardware or firmware still resist. Reply

|For public safety reasons, Boylston and Park Street Stations will be closed today at approximately 12:00 PM
Elevator Replacements: Alewife, Forest Hills, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, and Ruggles Stations
On July 24, 2009, the MBTA authorized design services for the elevator replacements at Alewife, Forest Hills, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, and Ruggles Stations. The project is in response to an agreement with the Boston Council for Independent Living (BCIL) to improve accessibility throughout the MBTA system.
The elevator replacements were anticipated to be completed in 2014. However, design services were delayed because of impending Code changes and updates to the MBTA Design Standards and Specifications. Ongoing design services will incorporate the MBTA updates and the revised Code requirements.
Bid documents are scheduled to be completed in Spring 2015. The construction duration is anticipated to be sixteen months, beginning in Summer 2015 and completed by Fall 2016.
The Stations will remain open during the construction phase with replacement bus services for customers requiring elevators to the Orange and Red Line stations.

Side Event: Statement by Ambassador Thoms on "Economic and Social benefits from the Oceans"
(Statement as delivered:)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great privilege for me to welcome you all, also on behalf of the Permanent Missions of the Bahamas, Iceland, Mauritius, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
We are proud that the German House is providing the venue for today's side event dedicated to the economic and social benefits from the Oceans.
Oceans figure prominently on the agenda of this week's Session of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. And this is, of course, rightly so. This week we will be hearing a lot about the importance of oceans and seas for mankind and how they are existentially crucial for many states, especially Small Island Developing States.
Still, their economic and social benefits are often underestimated. We think that this needs to be corrected if we want to achieve our common aim, namely to prominently incorporate oceans into the Sustainable Development Goals and the post 2015 Development Agenda.
Oceans are a basis for the creation of wealth and jobs – in fisheries and aquaculture, in tourism, biotechnologies and pharmaceuticals, to name but a few.
But we need to acknowledge that increasing competition for marine space and the cumulative impact of human activities put more and more pressure on our marine ecosystems. In fact, overexploitation, pollution and mismanagement put the economic opportunities I just mentioned heavily at risk.
Unsustainable fishing practices for example exacerbate the risk of food crises and pose a threat especially to the poor, which, as a result, may lead to new security challenges.
What we need to achieve are healthy and resilient marine and coastal ecosystems able to safeguard job creation and new sources of growth and food security.
Let me mention that at the European Union level we have recently made an important step forward by reforming our Common Fisheries Policy. It aims to ensure that fishing and aquaculture are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. Its goal is to foster a dynamic fishing industry and ensure a fair standard of living for fishing communities.
At the same time we want to make sure that fishing practices do not harm the ability of fish populations to reproduce. The current policy stipulates that between 2015 and 2020 catch limits should be set that maintain fish stocks in the long term. It seeks to make fishing fleets more selective in what they catch. The practice of discarding unwanted fish will be fundamentally prohibited.
Our goal of sustainable fisheries will no longer be a mere promise but it will have a fixed date.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
To conclude I would like to reaffirm Germany's strong commitment to our partnership with Small Island Developing States. We are looking forward to the upcoming Third International Conference on SIDS in Samoa, and we will work actively towards a good outcome of this important conference."

A KEEN Claret has joined fellow National Lottery winners to build a new Dunkirk Memorial for Second World War veterans.
Burnley FC devotee Mark Fielden and his wife Jean first hit the headlines nearly 16 years ago when his lucky dip ticket scooped the couple £1.29million.
But the pair were only too happy to join a £50million work crew to erect a statue to the brave veterans of the Channel evacuation in 1940.
Imported sand from the beach of Dunkirk and newly-constructed sea groynes were included in the tribute at the National Memorial Abroretum in Staffordshire.
Mark, a textile engineer who came from a long line of farmers, said: "All the splinters and blisters have been worth it today and the end result is suitably fitting to mark the experiences and bravery that those soldiers faced on the beaches of Dunkirk."
The Fieldens and other lottery winners were thanked for their efforts by Dunkirk veteran, 94-year-old Norman Lewis. He said: "It's very emotional being here and seeing the project unfold. I think it's a wonderful design and really emulates the beaches at Dunkirk.
"They have done a fantastic job in creating a lasting memorial to an important moment in British wartime history."

Global Food Safety Forum plans to host the China Agribusiness and Food Safety Investment Summit in Beijing later this month.
It's set for June 20-21 at the Friendship Hotel. The nonprofit forum, which promotes food safety for Chinese companies, is managed by Alexandria, Va.-based GIC Group and Beijing-based Bric Agricultural Consultants Ltd.
Banks, venture capital and private equity firms attending are scheduled to include JP Morgan; Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; Olympus Capital Holdings; and CITIC Private Equity Funds Management. Chinese agribusiness and food companies, plus officials and regulators, will also participate.
"We're targeting the food safety technology space for investment opportunities inside and outside China," said Rick Gilmore, forum chairman. "The basic premise is that food safety, quality and compliance are prerequisites to growth."
Topics include new investment regulations for foreign entities, internationalization of the yuan, and the food safety investment needs of small and medium-sized companies.
The forum's recently established China Council will also meet for the first time.

Jake Gyllenhaal & 13 Other Actors Who've Lost Serious Weight For Film Roles
Looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is the latest in a long line of celebs to drop a pretty shocking amount of weight for a role. In recent days, Gyllenhaal has been spotted filming the movie "Nightcrawler" in Los Angeles, looking downright frail. I love the dude's bone structure, trust, but those cheekbones are positively skeletal. Lest you think he's playing a drug addict or, I dunno, cancer patient in the film, he's actually portraying a journalist who stumbles upon some underground crime ring. You know us writers — so malnourished!
So, what other celebs have gone to dieting extremes for the sake of their craft? Who lost the most? How did they do it? Click through to find out!

It's that day again...Friday!! So I'll start it off....whathca go cookin'?
I'm doing some burgers tonight. I ground up some chuck last night along with some bacon (I didn't like how lean the chuck looked and thought it needed some more fat, plus I just wanted to play around). I think mine is going to be a patty melt like Dyal's the other night.
Saturday, Mrs. G leaves for a week so I really haven't planned anything else out. Maybe Raichlen's Australian wings from the Bible. Not sure yet.
So what you got cookin?

While it took everyone by surprise — like a natural disaster — after my initial bewilderment, I decided to take stock of the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to President Barack Obama. I am a legal immigrant to America, 10 years, silent lips, turning always the other cheek, giving always the second coat, observing always the laws of both my country of adoption and origin.
This month, Jefferson County residents will receive mail ballots for the "odd year" election. Among other questions, we will be asked whether to extend term limits for certain county officers and the district attorney, not the county commissioners.
These will be presented as two separate ballot questions. In both cases, a "yes" vote would extend limits from two consecutive four-year terms to three consecutive four-year terms.
I plan to vote "yes" on both.
By Hannah Hayes
My fellow community members:
The year 2010 is shaping up to be one of the most active primary seasons in recent Colorado history. In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (who was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter when Ken Salazar became secretary of the interior) faces a spirited challenge from within his own party from Andrew Romanoff, former speaker of the state House.
Whenever Colorado's budget is in distress, it seems that the biggest target is always on the back of higher education. The four biggest pots of general-fund moneys in the state budget are Medicaid, prisons, K-12 education and higher education. For practical, political and legal reasons, the first three are generally pretty protected. Higher education is often left to bear the biggest brunt of the reductions.
Amy Goodman is a journalist to be admired. For more than 13 years, she's been on TV and radio with "Democracy Now!" assisted by Daily News columnist Juan Gonzales. Amy is a tireless worker for independent media, and her energy and ability to inspire a crowd are awesome to watch. You can't help but marvel at the incredible drive bundled in such a small package. She has fans and volunteers in tow wherever she goes.
One of my dad's favorite stories about me is when he took me to the Big Top to buy a kite when I was 5. We found everything we needed for 97 cents. I handed my dollar to the store clerk and waited for change. When I asked for it, he told me it was for the governor. I said I didn't want to buy a governor. After my dad and the clerk explained that the governor was going to use my 3 cents for the road to get to the store and the school I would soon attend, I acquiesced and let him keep the change I had anticipated.
As in physics, politics has a handful of immutable laws. One of these is the Law of Overreaching, which states that the party in power will inevitably overreach.
Majority parties tend to act as though the entire population shares their core agenda. The problem with this, of course, is that for the most part no majority is possible without the support of a sizable number of voters who aren't affiliated with either party.
We're all familiar with the endless solicitations for credit cards in the mailbox, but the most desperate one I ever received was an actual check for $100. All I had to do was endorse it and I'd get the cash — along with a new credit card. No strings attached, right?
After the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968, his brother Ted ended a moving eulogy by saying, "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world."
After hearing the phrase "health care reform," it's sorely disappointing to see how shallow the thinking goes. All that's being talked about is how to pay for exactly the same kind of health care that many Americans already have. The finances of medicine are in shambles, but true reform should go much further if the aim is to raise the quality of life.
There's a June 6 article in Forbes magazine called "The Best and Worst Cities for Recession Recovery." Colorado has one city on the "best" list, Boulder, because of its technology industry and the university creating stable jobs. At the top of the "worst" list is Flint, Mich., with "the longest road to recovery."
When I served in the legislature, there was a guy who e-mailed me often to remind me of what an idiot I was. He didn't like the way I voted on a bill, and he let me know about it — again and again and again (most people don't realize it, but Colorado state legislators don't have a full-time staff, so when you're e-mailing or calling your state representative or senator, the person taking the message is probably the legislator himself or herself).
Chalk up another victory for open government. The Board of Governors of Colorado State University has released the tapes of an obviously illegal executive session and paid the legal fees of newspapers in Fort Collins and Pueblo.
Although I don't agree with President Obama on many policy issues, his "beer summit" last week turned out to be a novel and very effective way of using the power of the presidency to defuse a potentially volatile situation.
And while it remains to be seen what the longer term effects will be, it may turn out to have a significant positive impact on race relations going forward.
The controversy erupted a few days earlier, when African-American Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates accused Boston police Sgt. James Crowley of racial profiling.
So much vitriol has been directed at Michael Jackson and probably too much adoration. His bizarre behavior has been subjected to intense scrutiny. Typically, a celebrity must fit a certain mold; not being a pedophile is certainly essential, and being too odd puts you dangerously outside the mainstream.
I'm one of those people who can't help but shift into lecture mode whenever people complain about jury duty. I automatically launch into how jury duty is a privilege and that it and voting make living in our democratic society so special. Despite my civic pride, I hadn't been called for jury duty since 1994 and hadn't been on a jury since 1992.
I recently spoke to a political pollster, who told me he is seeing strong evidence that Americans (and Coloradans in particular) are increasingly frustrated with their government's culture of reckless spending, both at the state and federal levels. This is not a partisan issue, he said, since significant numbers of Republicans, Democrats and independents all share this concern to one degree or another.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1892 — Vachnovka, Ukraine
Machla was one of six children born to the Sandlers, a Jewish family in the Ukrainian village of Vachnovka. In 1912 Machla married Isaac Weiner, and by the late 1920s they had four sons and two daughters. Their oldest son died of scarlet fever in 1927. Hoping to find employment, Machla's husband moved the family in 1929 to the nearby city of Vinnitsa, which by then was part of the Soviet Union.
1933-39: In the early 1930s a severe famine swept the area. Machla's family survived, but times were hard. Isaac was a cattle driver before 1917, but in Vinnitsa he worked collecting taxes levied on merchants displaying their wares in the city's market square. He was also employed as a night watchman.
1940-41: In June 1941 Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The people of Vinnitsa panicked: Many thought the city was doomed. Isaac and Machla were sure that the Germans would be stopped at the border. Still, to be safe, they tried to get their children onto a train to the east. However, train passes were only being issued to relatives of Red Army officers and communists. One of these people offered their oldest daughter, Frida, a pass. As her train departed, Isaac threw his son, Moishe, on board.
Isaac, Machla, and their daughter Yeva remained. Machla was killed on September 19, 1941, in a mass killing near Vinnitsa. Isaac and Yeva were killed on April 16, 1942.

Commerce Claws
Posted by: Natalie Fleury
Category: Constitutional Interpretation, Constitutional Law, Public

There are more than 50 polydactl (6 toed) cats at the Hemingway Museum in Key West Florida. The cats are descended from six-toed felines raised by Hemingway at his house in Key West, which is now a museum. The cats roam the grounds and the house at will. Several years ago, a visitor became concerned about the cats' welfare, and reported the issue to the US Department of Agriculture. Long story short, the USDA decided the cats fell under the Animal Welfare Act with its accompanying regulations and requirements. The museum filed suit stating that the USDA did not have authority over the cats, the judge disagreed, and the Museum appealed.
Last week a three-judge appeals court panel (11th Circuit) decided the case using a broad interpretation of the Animal Welfare Act. The court also evaluated whether the cats "substantially affect" interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause. One part of the analysis determined that the Hemingway Museum purposefully uses the cats for marketing campaigns to attract visitors from outside of Florida, and as such, their exhibition has a commercial purpose and affects interstate commerce. You can see more about the case here and here.
