Post-Game Quotes:
– John Tortorella on Ryan Callahan… "You talk about Ryan Callahan; you call him a grinder or a banger. He gets overlooked as far as his offensive abilities and his talents because the other stuff sticks out, but that's always in his game. That's why he's our captain and leads us in how we need to play."
– Rick Nash on tonight's game… "We have to get streaky. I think if we just build momentum off of tonight and carry it into the next one, we were doing a lot of good things so I think we'll be fine."
– Carl Hagelin on Rick Nash's return… "When you get a guy like that back everyone wants to bring their level up to where he is which is tough – he is one of the best players in the league. You can see how he brings size, and how the other team really respects him, and starts playing tentative around him."
Team Schedule:
– Please note the Blueshirts do not have practice scheduled for tomorrow, Mar. 1. The Rangers' next practice is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Mar. 2, at MSG Training Center.
– The Rangers will return to action when they face-off against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, Mar. 3, at Madison Square Garden (7:30 p.m. – TV: MSG Network; Radio: ESPN 98.7), as they continue their four-game homestand.

You need Tomcat 5.0 or later.
To install Hudson on Tomcat, simply copy hudson.war to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, then access http://yourhost/hudson.
If you are running Tomcat just to host Hudson, then remove everything from $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, and place hudson.war as ROOT.war. Tomcat should expand this and create the ROOT directory, and you should see Hudson in http://yourhost (if you accepted the Tomcat defaults - http://yourhost:8080) without any additional path. This also works nicely when you set up a virtual host, as it allows a single Tomcat instance to run multiple applications, yet users can still access your hudson with URLs like http://hudson.acme.org/ without any additional path. See the Tomcat documentation for more about how to set up a virtual host.
Simply overwrite your hudson.war with the new version and delete the hudson folder in webapps (exploded war). Tomcat should automatically redeploy the application.
Setting HUDSON_HOME
Before starting Tomcat, set CATALINA_OPTS like this. This can be also used to specify JVM options to increase the heap size:
$ export CATALINA_OPTS="-DHUDSON_HOME=/path/to/hudson_home/ -Xmx512m" $ catalina.sh start
Or on Tomcat 1.6+ CATALINA_OPTS has been replaced by JAVA_OPTS (Thanks to Ronoaldo Pereira):
$ export JAVA_OPTS="-DHUDSON_HOME=/path/to/hudson_home/ -Xmx512m" $ catalina.sh start
Or if that fails for some reason, you should still be able to use the environment variable:
$ export HUDSON_HOME=/path/to/hudson_home/ $ catalina.sh start
Increasing Tomcat PermGen space
If you see permgen errors when running Tomcat, edit the catalina.sh file on *NIX systems to assign the following options
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
Or on windows use the Configure Tomcat GUI Java panel to set the same additional options and restart Tomcat.
Securing Hudson on Tomcat
Tomcat by default stores the user database in an XML file called $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml. You can add the following lines to this file to create an admin user.
<role rolename="admin"/> <user username="hudson-admin" password="secret" roles="admin"/>
Some versions of Tomcat (such as 5.0.28) uses iso-8859-1 to decode URLs, which is in a clear violation of the relevant RFCs. To fix this problem, add the following URIEncoding attribute to the connector definition in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml.
<Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
Other people reported that a presence of RequestDumperValve would also cause a problem.

Relevant Issues
See the list of issues filed that are specifically marked relevant to Tomcat.
There is also a known issue in Tomcat 6.0.21 to 6.0.26 that may cause some requests to hang.
Tomcat from XAMPP
If you are using XAMPP's tomcat installation, and you have Java > 1.5, then you need to remove the following jars from the common\lib directory, otherwise you will get FileNotFound exceptions from the changelog.xml generator:
xalan.jar xercesImpl.jar xercesSamples.jar
Tomcat from Ubuntu
If you get Tomcat from Ubuntu via apt-get, Hudson will report an error citing the security permission issue. This is because Tomcat in Ubuntu comes with the security manager on by default. This can be disabled by modifying /etc/default/tomcat5 (version number will be different depending on which version of Tomcat you install.) See issue #719 for more details.
Tomcat from Debian
Fix security issues adding the next lines at /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/04webapps.policy:
grant codeBase "file:/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/hudson/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; };
Tomcat from Windows
GUI Testing in Windows
Most Windows services -- including those run with the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" in Windows XP and Vista -- do not have access to many of the computer's resources, including the console display. This may cause Automated GUI Tests to fail if you are running Apache Tomcat as a Windows Service and are doing any GUI testing. This is true at least for AWT and Abbot frameworks. A typical error might look similar to this:
[junit] \# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine: [junit] \# [junit] \# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d07baf4, pid=3260, tid=288 [junit] \# [junit] \# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_09-b03 mixed mode, sharing) [junit] \# Problematic frame: [junit] \# C [awt.dll+0xbaf4|awt.dll+0xbaf4] [junit] \#
This limitation can be resolved by not running Tomcat as a Windows Service, but instead through a "Scheduled Task" as an Application that runs at logon. There are several options for doing this, an example would be to run "$TOMCAT_HOME\bin\tomcat5.exe". When setting up the scheduled task in Windows Vista consider choosing the check-box for "Run with highest privileges" from the general tab, as this removes the need to always provide administrator privileges and may resolve other issues as well.

Is there a way to restart the hudson process without restarting Tomcat?

I think the Upgrade paragraph is incorrect. Tomcat documentation states:
"If you redeploy an updated WAR file, be sure to delete the expanded directory when restarting Tomcat, so that the updated WAR file will be re-expanded (note that the auto deployer, if enabled, will automatically expand the updated WAR file once the previously expanded directory is removed)."
So you must delete the hudson folder for the new war to be expanded.

One note: windows users might not be aware that ROOT.war is case sensitive, so make sure you rename hudson.war to ROOT.war (and not root.war or Root.war) or it will not work. Just adding this because it took me 20 minutes to figure out what's wrong and might be saving the hassle to the next person with the same problem.

This is really not a good idea, since this directory is where the Hudson WAR is deployed - so when upgrading, it (and all your configuration) will be deleted!
Use some other directory, not under the webapps directory.

I upgraded the latest Hudson version 1.336 (from 1.332 but I'm not sure).
Upgrade is working, all jobs are found, but my plugins disappeared in graphical Hudson tool.In <HUDSON_HOME> directory, all my plugins are still present.
I tried following things without success (with and without stop/start hudson):
- with plugin manager: I selected again my plugins
- with advanced plugin manager: I uploaded my plugins
- I deleted <HUDSON_HOME>/update-center.json
So, how to see and use my plugins in graphical Hudson tool?

I installed the latest Hudson version 1.348 (from the war package) on CEntOS 5.4 and Tomcat6, I added
To the /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf file.
But when I'm trying get to Hudson main page, it shows this:
Unable to create the home directoryUnknown macro: {0}
. This is most likely a permission problem.
What is wrong ? This is a bug ?

Ronoaldo Pereira says:Here is a small tutorial to get Hudson 1.352 working under Tomcat 6/Ubuntu 9.10:...
Here is a small tutorial to get Hudson 1.352 working under Tomcat 6/Ubuntu 9.10:
- Install your Ubuntu Server (This may work with Debian too, not tested yet).
- Install the Tomcat Conteiner and the Manager App:
# apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin
- Download Hudson 1.352 war and upload it via your Tomcat Manager Webapp at http://yourserver:8080/manager/html (You may need to add a user under Tomcat to have it running properly. See /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml):
- If you need to enable authentication under Hudson, you need to have the file groovy-1.6.3.jar in Hudson's WEB-INF/lib directory or some erros will apear. I've added it by installing the groovy package, and coping the file to the Hudson webapp directory.
# apt-get install groovy # cp /usr/share/groovy/lib/groovy-1.6.3.jar /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hudson/WEB-INF/lib/
- If you need to enable authentication under Hudson, you need to have the file groovy-1.6.3.jar in Hudson's WEB-INF/lib directory or some erros will apear. I've added it by installing the groovy package, and coping the file to the Hudson webapp directory.
- Now, you must configure Tomcat permissions to your Hudson app. Is a good Idea to change the HUDSON_HOME directory too, so when upgrading your install will not delete your settings (CHANGE /home/hudson/ int the following lines to a directory you choose to store Hudson settings and installed plugins. Remember to chown the directory to tomcat6 user, or you may have some probmems!)
- First, change the Hudson home directory by adding this settings to your /etc/default/tomcat6 file:
JAVA_OPTS="-DHUDSON_HOME=/home/hudson/" # If you already have other settings in this variable, just add this one separed by whitespaces.
- Then, create a file at /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/, named 04hudson.policy, with this contents:
grant codeBase "file:/home/hudson/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/hudson/-", "read,write,delete"; permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hudson/-", "read,write,delete"; }; grant codeBase "file:/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hudson/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/hudson/-", "read,write,delete"; };
- The permissions above will let you install your Hudson plugins (like Jabber IM, and others), and have them working properly. I'm not shure if setting all permissions is a security risk, any one have some tips on that?
- First, change the Hudson home directory by adding this settings to your /etc/default/tomcat6 file:
- Now, restart your Tomcat, and access your running Hudson setup!
# service tomcat6 restart
Notes about this Wiki information:
- In the above Wiki, the option CATALINA_OPTS don't work for Tomcat 6, use JAVA_OPTS insted.
- The permissions are needed if you change your Hudson home, or the plugins will install, but the may not work properly.
- Restarting Hudson via the "Restart when no jobs are running" button (usualy, when installing plugins) causes Tomcat to shutdown! I use the Tomcat Manager web app to restart hudson context, by stopping and starting it again. Is this a bug on Hudson or Tomcat? Is this because of the permissions set to all?
- Ubuntu already ships a Hudson daemon setup, if you don't need to run it under a Tomcat Conteiner, simply install it by running:
# apt-get install hudson

On Windows, if you are running Tomcat as a Windows Service, to set the options for the JVM (like setting CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS) use the Tomcat Service Manager. This is either a tray application, or you can run the manager directly via $CATALINA_HOME\bin\tomcat6w.exe, set the options under the "Java" tab and hit "Apply" to apply them. Each options goes on it's own line.

I have just installed hudson on . OS is .
Setting HUDSON_HOME="/root/hudson", I was getting an error saying "Unable to create the home directory". I got success after I set HUDSON_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6/.hudson".
It might be worthwhile to mention that in both cases I set folder permission correctly, also the user tomcat was given ownership.
So, my guess is there is an issue with setting HUDSON_HOME in /root.

Well, hi. This is going to be a (hopefully) continuing series on me, as a noob, figuring out LoL. I'll stick my stats for the day up on here after every day, as well as the builds I use, and the strategies/playstyles I went with. I'll usually only be able to fit in one or two games a day, so dont expect too much. Hopefully you'll be able to criticize me enough to where I can improve. If anyone wants me to stick up recordings, I will if you tell me how.
You're probably wondering exactly how much experience I have with LoL. So this is for reference. At this moment I:
- Am level 11, about three quarters of the way to twelve.
- have three champions unlocked.
- Heimerdinger
- Teemo
- Cho'gath
- Heimerdinger is my main, but I'm trying to shift to cho, he has a much more exciting playstyle.
- I am saving up for Rammus.
- Am fully runed for all three of them, (as much as I can be at level 11) with heimerdinger and teemo having the same page. Mostly magic penetration and attack speed for heimerdinger and teemo, and attack speed and health regen for cho.
- I do not plan on buying rp.
- I have about 145 ip, left over after buying cho and his runes.
I'll stick these up tomorrow. I have more wins than losses, and most of my wins are as heimerdinger. Here's what I used yesterday, playing as cho'gath. I used ignite and teleport.
- stock recommended build off mobafire.com, the highest rated one. I used the offensive build.
- kit: leveled vorpal spikes, rupture, scream. Then leveled vorpal at every opportunity, leveling scream whenever I hit the limit, and feast whenever possible.
- played two games.
First game, I focused mainly on farming minions until I hit level sixteen, through vorpal spikes. I went solo middle, but an idiot xin zhao decided that he didn't like top lane, so he would follow me around getting turret bombed. I was against soraka, in an intermediate vs bot game. finished 8/2/7
Second game I used the same strategy, but focused much more heavily on the enemy champions while laning. I was top lane with a Caitlyn, against galio and lux. Caitlyn was a total boss. Teamfights began much earlier this game, bottom lane fed a Cassiopeia until she was pretty much unstoppable. Finished 12/2/14.
Well, that's the first blog post out of the way. This one was pretty bare bones, my next ones will have screenshots, as well as more specific builds, strategy, and stats. Please comment, even if it's just wether or not you liked/disliked the post, or think this is an interesting idea.
I'm just going to stick this here rather than make an entirely new blog post. I will make a second one, but I'll do it tomorrow when I have more to say. I moved on to PVP, and played two rounds. I won the first, and I lost the second. First round (win) was 4/6/10 and the second (loss) was 5/5/7. Both were as cho. I moved up to level twelve after the first round, so I had flash for the second one. I derped pretty hard on one of the second round deaths, and should've flashed away. Meh. Hoping to play more than two rounds today so I have something to stick in a new blog tomorrow. Is there some way to record rounds/take screenshots in game? I know fraps, but I was wondering if there was a built in method.

Vulvodynia is chronic pain in the vulvar area. The cause may be
unknown or it may be related to an infection or disease.
Vulvodynia may be a burning or stinging pain in part or all of the
vulvar area. There may also be itching, swelling, or pain with sex.
Treatment includes gentle cleaning of the vulvar area, wearing
cotton underwear, avoiding feminine products that can irritate the skin, and
using ice for swelling and pain.
If vulvodynia continues after trying home treatment, an appointment
with a doctor is needed.

NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- The term "minimum wage" has come to carry with it the same kind of visceral reaction (or, standing ovation, depending on which side of the aisle you stand on) that the Affordable Care Act has in Washington right now. But those private equity managers whose firms invest in sectors where most employees are affected by a minimum wage can watch Congress' fight over the budget and debt ceiling if they want to handicap how soon they will have to factor wage increases into profit and loss statements to investors. Inside-the-Beltway sources said the entire public debate in all likelihood will prove to be much ado about nothing. Virtually no one is anticipating the House GOP will sign off on legislation paying a higher minimum wage. "I see little risk in Democrats pushing for it, especially in an election year," one source close to the Washington wage debate said. "It would fit in with the narrative that the GOP is a far-right intransigent party." However, that would come as welcome news to restaurant chains' private equity backers. Businesses are doing what they can to get out from Affordable Care Act obligations they perceive as being too onerous -- like cramming employees down into 30-hour work weeks to turn them into part-timers ineligible for health benefits. But the minimum wage hike, if enacted, isn't something they can take out on the staffers. They will have to charge customers more, instead. Potbelly ( PBPB) - the sandwich shop backed by leveraged buyout shop American Securities and Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks ( SBUX) -- filed IPO paperwork in August with risk language in it that could spook investors. While its assessment of cost fallout to shareholders resulting from the Affordable Care Act's implementation is less than sanguine, the company said customers of the growing sandwich chain may feel the brunt of a minimum wage price hike. "As significant numbers of our associates are paid at rates related to the applicable minimum wage, further increases in the minimum wage or other changes in these laws could increase our labor costs," Potbelly stated in its initial public offering filing, also noting that "
s ignificant numbers of our food service and preparation personnel are paid" at or around the minimum wage.

megabyte file into your Guide, the resulting end user experience is going to suffer.
Sometimes the goal is to include a corporate look, which may impose the necessity to embed fonts. Be aware of those font sizes, they add up fast when you need to include, bold, italic, and normal.
Custom Code
Sometimes losing something is a good thing. This one setting is essential to set when compiling your custom Guide code.
If you're using ant to perform your build you will need to set your library linkage to use "-external-library-path" for the dcruntime_library.swc.
If you're using Flash Builder, you'll be modifying the "Link Type" for dcruntime_library.swc. Open the project properties, select "Flex Library Build Path", then select the "Library Path" tab. Expand the dcruntime_library.swc entry where you will see the "Link Type" field.
By default this value is set to external. Double click the Link Type entry and it will open up a second window.
Change the value from merged into code to External. Apply the changes and recompile your custom code. Ah, doesn't that feel better, 1.4 megabytes gone!
Be smart of what you're including in your Guide. The experience needs to be a primary concern for all of us. Assets are scaled correctly; code is linked correctly, now it's time to publish that Guide!

Obviously he is a great young pitcher we have all heard the rants, raves, ooos, and aaa's about him as a pitcher. But as an overall baseball player he is even better. Tonight was the first night I have actually been able to see his start on tv and not listen to it on the radio. When he is at the plate, you wouldn't know it was a pitcher unless someone told you. He looks better than Owings at the plate. The rest of our guys on the team could learn something from his approach at the plate, it is great.
It is very rare this day in age you see a player so young have some expertise about the entire game of baseball...hopefully he rubs off on the rest of our guys, because I think we have plenty of guys who are lacking in the baseball IQ department.

Topic: Dad's mood seems to be getting a bit worse.
Hi Everyone,
I wonder if anyone here can relate to something that happened to my dad today. A little background first. When I was young, very young in fact, from the age of about 8 onwards, I was friends with someone who lived across the street from us. We were what you would class as best friends, did lots of stuff together, spend loads of time together and got up to lots of mischief together! We went to the same schools as each other and I guess we grew up with one another. I would go on trips with my friend and his parents and he would come on trips with me and my parents. My dad and his dad also got on really well and the 4 of us would all go to the football together pretty much every week as we all supported the same team, Dundee!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is that not only did I and my mate get on well, but both sets of parents did also.
Well, as we both got older, we moved on to other things as people do. They moved house and out of the area so we drifted apart, we didn't fall out or anything, but we just both moved on. I'm still in touch with my mate every so often by email, we have a similar interest. He is an economics lecturer and I have a great interest in the markets. We bump into each other here every few months and catch up with what we are both up to. My dad and his dad also bump into each other every so often, and when they do, they both spend ages talking to each other. The last time I saw my friend was about a month ago and I told him about my dad and his CC and how it is inoperable. We talked for ages and I know that he will have told his dad about my dads CC.
Anyway, my dad bumped into my friends dad today. This was the first time dad had seem him since he got sick. Instead of them spending time talking and catching up with each other as normal, my friends dad just sort of said hello and walked on. Now this is not what usually happens when they see each other. My friends dad is not rude, impolite or anything like that and we have all known each other for 30 years or so. Well dad came home and was feeling a bit upset about this. I guess he was felling a bit ignored from someone he has known for years. I think that perhaps some people don't know how to react to others when they know they have cancer and how to approach them? Has anyone else had this sort of experience where others don't know how to talk to them or indeed, maybe even avoid them?
Dad has not had the best of weeks and this sort of just ends a bad week, his first one in a while. He has had quite a few bouts of shaking this week, something he has not had for quite a long time. I dont know if this is down to the shaking coming back or not, but since it has not happened for a while, I sort of get the impression that he was thinking that he was getting better, then the shaking comes back and reminds him that he still has CC? He also says that he is not looking forward to his CT scan appt on the 23rd Dec and that he "feels like an old man." He doesn't seem to be as positive as he was a while ago, but hopefully this was just a bad week.
The best to us all.

Liberty Posts Win in Front of 7,000-plus Fans
Playing in front of a Vines Center crowd of 7,043, the Liberty men's basketball team christened the 2013-14 season with a 21-point win, defeating Randolph College, 74-53.
The attendance mark is the highest at the Vines Center since the Flames squared off with Clemson in front of 8,143 spectators on Nov. 17, 2009.
Junior Tomasz Gielo paced Liberty with 14 points, followed by Andrew Smith, who had 10 tallies and set a career high with eight rebounds. In his first game back since missing the entire 2012-13 season, redshirt senior forward Antwan Burrus had eight points and five rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
Zach Desgain led Randolph with 14 points, while Jason Eddie chipped in 10.
With the win, Liberty (1-0) moves to 32-10 all-time in home openers and 19-5 win playing its first game of the season in the Vines Center.
The Flames finished the contest shooting 50.9 percent (27-of-53) from the field, while holding the WildCats to 37.5 percent (21-of-56). Liberty capitalized at the free throw line (16-of-20, 80.0 percent) and held the advantage in the paint (40-26), off turnovers (19-9) and on second chance points (14-6).
Randolph led 7-4 early in the contest thanks to a Desgain three-pointer at 17:17. The Flames answered with a 10-0 run over the next 2:08. Casey Roberts and Gielo kick-started the burst with back-to-back treys. Following a Joel Vander Pol layup, Gielo cemented the run with one of his own, giving the Flames a 14-7 advantage at the 15:08 mark.
With Liberty up by 10 points at 12:32, the WildCats began to chip away at the deficit, countering with seven straight points. A Mike Ehilegbu jumper made it a three-point game, 18-15, with 9:37 left in the half.
Randolph trailed by as few as two points in the closing minutes of the period, but the Flames managed to widen the gap before halftime. A thunderous putback dunk from Smith ignited a roar from the Vines Center crowd with under three minutes remaining in the half.
Desgain led all scorers in the opening stanza with 12 points. Gielo paced the Flames offense with 10 tallies, followed by Burrus, who had six.
Liberty shot 54.4 percent (12-of-22) from the field in the half, including 50.0 percent (3-of-6) from behind the arc. The WildCats concluded the period with 40.4 percent shooting (11-of-27), knocking down 4-of-9 three-pointers (44.4 percent).
In the second half, the WildCats remained within two possessions of the Flames for the majority of the opening six minutes, but Liberty enlarged the cushion once again. With Randolph College trailing, 42-38, with 14:46 remaining, the Flames proceeded to outscore the visitors, 19-3 over the ensuing 7:16. A tip-in by Gielo at the 7:41 gave Liberty a commanding 61-41 lead.
Randolph cut the contest to 15 with just under six minutes left off a Josh Martin basket. However, the WildCats could not climb any closer, as the Flames stretched their lead out to 21 to set up the 74-53 final.
Liberty heads to Williamsburg, Va., Tuesday, to take on William & Mary. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

Natural Selection
One of the first accounts of wearing red lipstick came from the Mesopotamian women (and often men) who used to adorn their lips with crushed semi-precious stones. Later, Cleopatra was known for crushing beetles and ants to get the right shade of scarlet for her lips.
The phrase 'Kiss Of Death' was coined because of the harmful mixture of fucus-algin, iodine, and bromine mannite that Egyptian women used to create lipstick. Highly toxic, the concoction often led to serious illness and sometimes death.
Frost lipstick even had its first incarnation—fish scales were ground up to loan lipstick its pearlescent sheen.
By the sixteenth century, the process of making lipstick was a little safer. Queen Elizabeth 1, who made cosmetics popular, donned a pale white face of makeup and bright crimson lips that she got from a mix of beeswax and plants. Medieval European's were said to believe that lipstick and cosmetics warded off death—a possible reason why the Queen's ladies-in-waiting applied makeup to her even post-mortem.

For the first time in St. Louis history, six local teachers in four different high schools will school 235 students in entrepreneurship.
The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) has teamed up with the St. Louis Science Center and the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to offer NFTE St. Louis in the area. The program provides educational opportunities in business to underserved high school students. Mastercard is a founding partner of NFTE St. Louis.
Late last year, NFTE held NFTE University in St. Louis, an intensive four day program where 11 St. Louis area teachers trained in NFTE's award-winning core curriculum. Six of those teachers will now go on to bring what they learned to their classrooms.
NFTE St. Louis kicks off at McCluer High School, Berkley South High School, McCluer North High School and Jennings Senior High School. The course features interactive activities designed to provide hands-on business lessons to support the development of an entrepreneurial mindset.
NFTE St. Louis program includes field trips, educational games and experiential learning activities designed to teach entrepreneurship and business concepts. Local entrepreneurs and business professionals are brought in to share a "real world" perspective.
During the course, students develop original business ideas that are presented during a competition on the final day. The top two finishers advance to NFTE's National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in San Francisco on October 9, 2014. They will compete against nearly 40 regional winners from across America for cash and prizes including startup capital, consulting and business coaching services, and scholarship money.
Though this is the first time the NFTE curriculum is taught in St. Louis schools, NFTE has had an active presence in the area since last year. We held a BizCamp there in the summer of 2013, and one of its attendees, Aliyah Wilson, went on to win the Elevator Pitch Challenge at the 2013 National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge.
All NFTE programs reinforce students' critical thinking skills and provide them with tools to help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset. NFTE is the only global non-profit organization solely focused on bringing entrepreneurship education to low-income youth and impacts the lives of nearly 50,000 young people annually.

A row over a hamburger thrown in a Worcester city centre street in the early hours has led to a 22-year-old man having to pay out £1,000 and do unpaid work.
William Worthington, of Woodward Parks, Fladbury, near Evesham, pleaded guilty at Worcester Crown Court to assaulting Joshua Thomas causing him actual bodily harm.
He was given a 12-month community order with supervision by the probation service and a requirement to undertake a specified activity programme.
He must also do 150 hours unpaid work and pay £500 court costs and £500 to his victim.
Lee Egan, prosecuting, said Mr Thomas and friends were in the city centre at 3 am on August 20 last year when a girl in the party was hit by a hamburger. Words were exchanged with another group and this resulted in Worthington twice punching Mr Thomas in the face. His lip was cut and his teeth damaged.
Mr Egan said Mr Thomas had lost three days work, was unable to sleep properly and was likely to lose three teeth during a course of treatment.
Mark Lister, for Worthington, submitted references from his employer and youth worker. He had one previous caution for common assault. He had been made redundant six weeks ago from his £300-a-week job.
Judge Michael Cullum warned Worthington about drinking and getting into trouble. The offence had been an attack in a public place in the early hours which made it very serious.

text: Acharis 5979 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 It just occured to me, all strategy games are about some map on which you move units and fight other units (I know, I would not get a nobel prize for this discovery :D). I could't find even ONE counterexample (if we exclude various tycoon games and city builders games), which was quite surprising to me. So, I wonder, how to make a game (or find an appropriate mechanic) which is about an internal issues of an empire (or other things that are not just war and moving units around). Generally, something where you feel like an emperor that is running an empire but it's not about a map and units moving on it. Is there a way to get rid of the overdone map+units mechanic yet still get the feel of an empire building game? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Pattinson will have minor abdominal surgery on Friday for a condition not related to cricket, which could cut short his preparation for the Ashes.
It's understood the condition, though serious enough to require an immediate operation, will not affect the 22-year-old's long-term health or cricket.
Cricket Australia has not disclosed the nature of the problem but chief medical officer Justin Paoloni said surgery was "absolutely necessary at this time".
The fast bowler complained of discomfort low in his abdomen late in the tour of India. "The recovery times will be determined once the surgery is completed but James is expected to return to training in approximately four weeks," Poaloni said.
Pattinson might not be ready for the Champions Trophy in June, meaning his next game could be the first of two warm-up games for the Ashes at the end of that month.
He is arguably the best fast bowler in the country, and his fitness is of immense importance to Australia's hopes of challenging England at home.
Pattinson has suffered a series of setbacks, most recently breaking down with a rib injury during the Adelaide Test, the point at which Australia's summer turned sour.

Topic: Sudden onset of chills & fevers
So the latest update on my dad....it's been 6 and half weeks since plastic stent was placed. He did 10 rounds of radiation for the tumor on his t-1. He had his first session of chemo Gemzar/Cisplatin - 2 weeks in a row for 4-5 hours each Wednesday. So far no nausea but VERY weak & tired. Zero appetite, has lost 35 lbs since mid January. His biggest problem seems to be the night sweats, some nights soaking through 6 t-shirts!! I believe this is making him very dehydrated adding to his weakness. His urine is VERY dark! He has passed out twice and his blood pressure dropped to 80 over 60 last Tuesday. This was his off week of chemo but dr had him go in for infusion of liquids etc. took him home but he still seemed weak tired very little food intake. Last night my mom called around 9:45 pm saying his fever had spiked again it was over 102.7 we called Dr & they said to take him to ER but he was do weak he couldn't stand without collapsing so we called 911. Long story short they took more blood labs, hooked him up to IV again for more fluids and also stronger antibiotics. He takes both cipro & flagyl by pill form but they gave him stronger dose in IV. By the time we got home it was 4 in the morning and he still is very weak, tired not much food intake. What we are trying to figure out is all this a result of the cancer? The chemo? The stent ? The medicines? Or all if the above?? I read these posts religiously and my dad seems so weak compared to many who are still able to work etc. Is his cancer just progressing that much faster? We know he has mets in his spine & lungs, his CA 19-9 tumor marker was 2346 but other than the fevers and weakness he has no jaundice itching or pain in his stomach area. he does still have pain from the tumor on the spine which he takes morphine for. is it even worth putting him through chemo? The saddest part is both he & my mom don't realize the severity of this cancer, my mom keeps referencing when the chemo cures it they will do this & that.....none of us kids have the heart to tell her differently. She wants only positive thoughts around them ugh this is just so very frustrating, I'm sorry for the long post.... Just needed to vent a bit

Intel's Return to DRAM: Haswell GT3e to Integrate 128MB eDRAM?by Anand Lal Shimpi on 4/23/2013 11:58 AM EST

Back to Article
Spunjji - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - link$50 on top of the already-inflated cost of an i7... no, I don't think I'm too interested in that just yet. Could be nice a generation or two from now. Reply
aruisdante - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkIt's only available in solder-on packages. Meaning OEM only. It's meant to replace the lower end DGPU's in mid-range ultrabooks. Not for consumers. So the end cost is about the same when you subtract the cost of the DGPU Reply
glugglug - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkThat aspect of it pisses me off. I've been looking forward to building a new desktop to upgrade from my current Bloomfield when Haswell comes out, and so wanted this to be the integrated DRAM version.
The L4 cache would be a huge win for servers as well if they didn't make the stupid thing soldered only. While you could argue that noone ever upgrades a server CPU, they just replace the server, we do have hundreds of dual socket HP servers here ordered with only one socket populated because of core count limits on software licensing.

HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkWell, if the rumors that Intel intends not to offer user-installed versions of Broadwell are correct, perhaps this is the reason. So they can offer more eDRAM versions of the CPU. Reply
Spunjji - Thursday, April 25, 2013 - linkI'm aware that it's not for consumers. What I was trying to express is that where graphics performance is important, given the choice between a machine using an i7 with its accompanying price premium plus this on top vs. something like an i3/i5 with discrete, I am still going to be looking at the latter. Reply
seamonkey79 - Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - linkYea, not quite sure what the purpose is. This type of addition would be fantastic on a higher end-ish i3 or i5 that would give me a decent system and decent graphics, but more portable. Sticking it in with an i7, most people will still want a dGPU to power their games because even with eDRAM, Haswell won't be powerful enough. Reply
jeffkibuule - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkDo you think Apple was relying on Ivy Bridge having eDRAM in its 2012 Retina MacBook Pros? Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkWell, the 15" model has a GT 650M, so even better performance than IVB would have with eDRAM. And I've read that it is more a software issue (and single thread CPU performance issue) than a GPU performance issue. Many people are fine running 1440p/1600p displays off their Ultrabooks in Windows without performance drawbacks in the general UI. :) Reply
fteoath64 - Thursday, April 25, 2013 - linkThe GT3e in the new Haswell chip has to perform 30% better overall compared to the GT650M in order for Apple to ditch the dGpu. There is still a competitor in the GT 750M newchip from Nvidia which might just double the GT650 and if so would still be useful for high-end Retinas if Apple so decides. The improvements to the 13inch Retinas will certainly be iGpu while the highest end would probably get the dGpu (maybe of AMD persuasion ?). Kepler would be king for a long while as Intel still struggles to be "good enough" in the gpu arena. Reply
Flunk - Sunday, May 05, 2013 - linkThe GT 750M is already available, it's a higher-clocked version of the same chip the 650M uses. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkIt seems very much as if they were made with each other in mind. Even with all the latest updates the Retina Macbook Pros drop too many frames during basic UI animations for my liking, Hasewell with GT3(possibly e) would have been great for it. Reply
jasonelmore - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkyeah but who's gonna buy a 15" Retina Macbook Pro with no Dedicated Graphics for $2700? They are still going to have to put DGPU's in it.

tuxRoller - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkAlthough I wouldn't buy an apple product until they change some of their policies regarding hardware/software separation, offering this gt3e along with a highend firegl/quadro would be nice. Now, I don't know if infrastructure is there, but imagine having three modes of operation: 1. running the quadro, 2. running the gt3e, 3. running the gt3 with the dram switched off.
That's not including the various hybrid modes.
I don't know if this is possible yet, but it would make for some interesting possibilities considering how powerful intel has made their gpus of late. Reply
FITCamaro - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkI'd love to see a Surface Pro with this chip in it. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkAs Anand said in the article, GT3e isn't expected to be available in low-power parts suitable for ultrabooks, which is too bad really since that market could benefit from increased IGP performance. Since GT3e is only available in higher power parts where discrete GPU alternatives with the same or better performance are available, its use case seems to be more for BOM/board space simplification rather than directly improving performance constrained situations. Reply
lolstebbo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkWell, Anand also mentioned that the embedded DRAM added heat, so I'd imagine that's a part of why it's not expected to be available in low-power parts suitable for ultrabooks. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkYeah, they are making things a bit easier for the OEMs and stealing money from nVidia (and AMD to a lesser part). Good move for them. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkI'd actually be surprised if there isn't a ULV part suitable for ultra books down the line. The catch is that CPU performance would likely have to be further reduced to account for the eDRAM. The other option Intel would have is to make the eDRAM strictly a GPU feature and scale the active amount based upon workloads. In other words, while using a word processing, the eDRAM gated down to 32 MB in size without any L4 cache functionality. While gaming it activates all 128 MB. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkWell, look at the Razer Edge. It includes a discrete GPU. I imagine a few companies will give it a whirl and slap this into something similar that should cost a lot less. In the meanwhile, I imagine AMD/nVidia will be forced to lower their prices to match the GT3e's new baseline for such systems.
Could be a decent price drop for better integrated/low-end GPU's. Reply
JPForums - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkI would also find a Surface Pro based on this chip appealing.

name99 - Saturday, April 27, 2013 - linkExactly. I think the emphasis on the GPU aspect of it is short-sighted --- interesting if it somehow affects your Haswell buying decision, but no more than that.
The larger story here is Intel finally adopting eDRAM as the next step in increasing performance. As always Intel is being cautious this time giving us one specialty part with something of an add-on. But the interesting question is where do we go with this when it's ready for the big-time? In particular: do we remove the current L3, give each core a beefed up L2 (maybe 1MB or so), and move to an eDRAM L3 of 128 (or 256?, or 384?) MB?
I guess it all hinges on how close Intel can get that eDRAM to the CPU. Can they manufacture it on the same chip? or are we finally ready for the sort of chip-to-chip (as opposed to package-to-package) contact solutions people have been talking about for years? Reply
holmberg - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkI'll be interested to see how embedded RAM works in a Xeon CPU.
First, as an L4 cache. At my job, we develop an in-memory database that is typically deployed on a machine with 1 or 2 TB of DRAM and multiple CPUs in a NUMA configuration connected by Intel's QPI. So near and far memory, where caching far memory in near memory could make a big difference.
But secondly, we have experimented with performing certain calculations (statistics, predictive analytics, etc) on the GPU. The trouble was moving the data from the CPU memory to the GPU memory, and then moving the results back. I'm wondering if on a Xeon with an embedded GPU (yeah, I know, doesn't exist today), if the embedded DRAM would be shared between the CPU and GPU so that the data wouldn't have to be moved.
Any thoughts on that? Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkTo address the first idea, IBM does use eDRAM in their high end POWER line and their System Z mainframes. The POWER7+ has 80 MB of eDRAM on-die. The mainframes are even beefier with 48 MB of eDRAM L3 cache on die and a massive 384 MB external L4. Those systems are not x86 based but they are fast. Intel going with eDRAM would likely perform similarly. However, it should be noted that Intel has focused on latencies with their caches, not capacities.
Having a common cache between the integrated CPU and GPU would be advantageous for the very reasons you cite. While it didn't get a lot of press, Intel does have a unified address space between their HD graphics in Sandybridge/Ivy Bridge. So essentially Haswell GT3e will have the functionality.
With regards to Xeon + discrete GPU though, there will always be overhead by merit of PCI-e connectivity even if the GPU is using the same x86 address space. It'll be higher bandwidth and lower latency than today but the results will be nothing like the on-die integration we're seeing on the consumer side. Just having everything on-die helps a lot. Then again, both AMD and Intel can remove PCI-e and ship discrete GPU's using their own proprietary processor interconnects (HyperTransport and QPI respectively). At this point the discrete GPU would be logically seen as another socket node. Reply
bernstein - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkthat last bit of connecting a gpu via QPI/HyperTransport is a very interesting proposition. However what would be the performance gains? it's not even twice the speed of x16 pcie3, so i guess it's mostly direct memory access & latency. right? Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkFor the most part, yes, lower latency and direct memory access as if they were another socket/core. This idea isn't new either. One of Intel's early slide decks regarding Larrabee had mention of a Larrabee chip that'd drop into a quad socket motherboard.
I'm actually quiet surprised that AMD hasn't gone this route or have many any mention of it on their road maps. They do have new sockets coming out next year and HSA GPU's so perhaps next year we'll hear something a bit more concrete.
The other thing about using a common socket between a CPU and a GPU would be that each aspect would have to support a common memory standard. AMD looks to be going with GDDR5 for mobile parts for bandwidth reasons. Considering that laptops (and especially ultra books) are not designed for upgradability or 24/7 rock hard stability. It also means that more desktop/server centric sockets would imply support for ECC protected DIMMs. This would also bring huge amounts of memory support to the GPU side. These two things would be huge on the GPU side.
One thing moving to QPI/Hypertransport for GPU's would result in is the eventual removal of nVidia from this space. PCI-e will still hang around but hardware using it would be at a disadvantage. Reply
Musafir_86 - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - link-Hmm, are SB & IB really have unified memory address space between CPU & GPU? CPU can access GPU memory pointers & vice-versa? Like AMD's upcoming Kaveri? Any documentation/white paper from Intel on this?
-What I know is their L2/L3 caches are definitely shared/unified, though. Intel's Instantaccess DX extension is only implemented in Haswell, so I doubt this is the case.
Regards. Reply
jasonelmore - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkIvy Bridge cant share L3 with CPU and GT and both use it at the same time, Haswell fix's this issue and unifies it. A lot of ppl are getting this wrong. Reply
Jaybus - Thursday, April 25, 2013 - linkThus the focus on silicon photonics Intel, IBM, and others have been working on. Interconnects such as QPI, HyperTransport, or Xilinx's RapidIO use too much power and/or require much more space for multiple parallel i/o traces. An optical interconnect eliminates many of the restraints imposed by QPI. The optical signal frequency can be orders of magnitude higher than what is possible for electronic signals without increasing power or thermal load. It is not possible, long term, to continue to integrate components onto a single larger and larger piece of silicon (ie. SoC).
Silicon photonics is a way to connect chip-to-chip at full chip speed, or in other words connect multiple chips together to make a single large virtual chip. Since the optical signal can also maintain this high speed for far further trace distances, it can also be used to make chip-to-chip interconnects even when the chips are on different motherboards in separate cluster nodes. Think a rack of servers that function as a single, very large SoC.
We will first see it used for optical Thunderbird, (ie. extending PCIe bus off-chip), but probably for special purpose chip-to-chip soon after. For example, a CPU and discrete GPU + eDRAM pair in a 2-chip module connected via silicon waveguide. Reply

Quizzical - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkThis doesn't make a bit of sense. If the primary purpose is to be L4 cache for the CPU and boost performance that way, then why not make it available in desktop and server chips, which would offer far more plausible benefits than laptops?
And if the primary purpose is to be GPU memory bandwidth, then why 128 MB? I could see big benefits to having the heavily-accessed depth buffer and frame buffer in cache, but at 1080p, those are a tad under 8 MB each. Maybe you want to put extra frame buffers there, for use in post-processing or to have both the front and back frame buffers cached. But that's not going to get you anywhere near 128 MB, and if it's for graphics, you're going to end up using most of that space for lightly accessed textures where it doesn't matter.
Surely they're not planning on moving the really heavily used stuff that doesn't take much space and currently goes in GPU cache to slower eDRAM. That would be as dumb as making an Intel i740 without dedicated video memory because they want to use slower system memory instead. Reply
glugglug - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkIt's not for frame buffers, as you said, those are much smaller, and are most assuredly already in the GPU.
The bandwidth is needed for accessing textures without pulling them from RAM each time. And yes, it does matter for the textures, in a huge way. Reply
Quizzical - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkDo tell how you propose to stick an 8 MB frame buffer in < 1 MB of L2 cache. For comparison, a Radeon HD 7970 has 768 KB of L2 cache, a Radeon HD 7870 has 512 KB, and a GeForce GTX 680 has 512 KB. Older or lower end cards tend to have less yet.
And the L1 and L2 caches are presumably needed for smaller but more frequently accessed data such as program binaries and uniforms that are needed at every single shader invocation throughout the graphics pipeline. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkClearly it does make a difference, as GPUs accessing the system DDR memory take a huge performance penalty. Otherwise why would GPU makers strap on so much memory? Reply
Quizzical - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkYes, accessing textures from video memory rather than having to pass it through a PCI Express bus does make a big difference. But if you want to do that, you have to have enough video memory to actually store all of your textures in video memory. That's why modern video cards nearly always come with at least 1 GB and often more. 128 MB would let you stick a small fraction of your textures and vertex data in it, but nowhere near all of it except at low texture resolutions or in older games where you don't need much video memory.
If textures are the goal, you'd likely see more benefit from adding a third channel of system memory, which lets you use a few GB if you need to. And while hardly cheap, that might well be cheaper than 128 MB of eDRAM. Reply
Haydon987 - Sunday, April 28, 2013 - linkFor modern graphical purposes, I have to agree, I don't see the point of adding 128MB of eDRAM. If it is for textures, any 3d game made in the last decade uses a few hundred MB, if not well over 1GB in some cases, at any reasonable resolution.
I really only see this being useful as a cache for the CPU or for 2D applications. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkAlso a unified fast memory between the GPU and CPU is exactly what is needed for good GPGPU performance, up until now the bottleneck was transferring things from the GPU memory to the CPU memory. Reply
Quizzical - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkWhile this could conceivably have some big benefits for certain GPGPU applications, I really doubt that's the primary intended purpose. If you want to do serious GPGPU, you get a desktop or workstation or server or some such so that you can dissipate serious amounts of heat. You definitely don't get a laptop with dinky little integrated graphics that sports a peak GFLOPS rating of not much, which is the only place that GT3e is going to be used. Reply
Zandros - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkIIIRC, compositing window managers provide a draw buffer for every open window, even if it's (partially) hidden. With a couple of windows open, that's easily tens of megabytes. Is there any reason to not keep those in the eDRAM? Reply

It's essentially a research chip in this iteration. This means
(a) if they can't deliver, no catastrophe
(b) if the power utilization is higher than the actual benefits for general use cases, again no catastrophe.
I see the fact that they have gone this route rather than giving all the CPUs eDRAM as telling us that eDRAM is actually harder to get right than it looks, and they are being cautious. One might confirm this by noting that AMD has not jumped on eDRAM as a way to goose their sales, even though it would have been an obvious point of differentiation from Intel. Reply

It seems only quad core 50+ watt TDP processors will get GT3e, and only ultrabooks will get GT3 without the eDRAM, so 13" laptops seem like they're stuck with GT2.

The currently existing difference between HD4000 and an 650M is almost completely covered by the increase in Execution Units alone. Add some improvements in IPC efficiency, some catching up by the driver development team, and the performance boost from the integrated memory, and it is actually quiet likely that GT3e will achieve 650M levels. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkOn the AMD method, GDDR5 is obviously great for GPUs, but the memory timings are much slower than DDR3, even accounting for the clock speed differences. I know differences in latency don't really affect modern CPUs a whole lot, but this difference would be bigger than the slowest to the fastest DDR3 latencies, it's many times higher. I wonder how that will turn out.
I'm also curious, IBM integrated eDRAM into its Power7 processors a long time ago, I wonder what the performance implications of the CPU being able to access the eDRAM in Haswell will be, and if they'll carry that over to the high end server/workstation markets like Power7. Reply

SetiroN - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkTo be honest I was hoping for (if not expecting) quite a bit more than 64GB/s... as beneficial as lower latency is, quad channel DDR3 already gives us 50.
Even for notebook graphics, that's far from ground-breaking. 650M performance seems like a stretch, especially considering how this will be relegated to larger laptops, at which point having a dGPU sounds much more feasible. Reply
shiznit - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkTrue, but you don't get quad channel ddr3 in a laptop and especially not with ram soldered to the mobo. This is was perf/watt decision with mobile as a priority.
You get a lot of temporal goodness for games (streaming texture buffer should fit in the 128MB nicely) and smaller datasets and you free up the pipes to main memory so they can keep the L4 full. It's a win-win.
Servers will come when it can scale to really benefit them. Reply
ShieTar - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkIt's only 128MB. With 64GB/s, you can already read or overwrite the complete memory in only 2ms, thus less than a quarter of even a 120Hz frame. Since most graphics software should not work iteratively, this seems fast enough. And why does 650M performance seem like a stretch to you based on this number, when the 650M itself does have exactly the same bandwidth, or even less with the DDR3-version? Even the 675M comes only with 96GB/s. Reply
iwodo - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkSo I guess this is what all those Fabs extra capacity are about. Not actually Fabing a lots of Custom Silicon for others, but doubling their usage with eDRAM.

ShieTar - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - link
In server environments, I can see embedded DRAM acting as a real boon to multi-core performance.
But 128MB is not that much more than the already available 20MB of L3 cache in a Xeon, while it is much less than the 32GB (or more) of available RAM. Sounds to me like only a very specific class of software would be able to profit from it. And if you have software that really speeds up with more low-latency memory, does that not mean you're better of running it on a Xeon Phi anyways? Reply
Crazy1 - Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - linkIf the previous rumor of a TDP of 55W for a chip carrying GT3e and a graphics performance roughly equivalent to a GT 650m, then I imagine large screen (15"+) "ultrabooks" carrying this chip. Laptops like the Macbook Pro and Razor. Without the need for a descrete GPU, other manufacturers would not need premium materials or smart engineering to stay within the thermal limit of their thin designs.
An additional $50 is not much when you look at the price of a mobile i7 chip. It's another 2-4% price bump for the overall price of the typical i7 carrying laptop. If the GT3e performs similar to a GT 640m (more realistic) it would easily be a worthwhile upgrade for the people who only need/want mid-range GPU performance. Reply

This year, we're sending nearly 40 children and teens who suffer from lupus and their immediate families to Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine—a fitting number given that we're marking our 40th year.
For many of these children and their families, it's the highlight of their year.
Deep thanks to the many generous donors, Foundations, and others who make Camp Sunshine a possibility are evident in these end-of-camp words from grateful families:
"When I first was diagnosed with lupus, I thought the world ended for me. But Camp Sunshine is a blessing for my family and I because in this place I can forget about my pains and my situation…it is the best part of the year!"
"Having a child with a chronic illness is a day to day struggle for our family that is masked from others behind our doorway, but at Camp Sunshine we can all let our guard down to express what we really feel and who we are with other families who essentially live the same lives."
"For the last six months, I have been feeling like I needed, as a mom, for someone to wrap me up in protective arms of love. That is what I received this week. Arms and arms of love. That felt like "home" to me." – Mother of three daughters, two with lupus.
"Our daughter doesn't connect well with others, or feel like she fits in; but at camp she is 'one of the crowd' and blends in physically, emotionally, and comes alive with happiness. For a mother, there is nothing more I could ask for—nor any place else where she is more at ease with her disease."
"Mere words could never express my gratitude for the week we have spent at Camp Sunshine or the joy, happiness, and love it has provided to every member of our family."
"When my daughter gets one of her infusions she will lay there with her eyes closed. As the tears run down her face from the pain, she will begin to smile and tell me every detail about camp…it's these memories that get us through the year!"
"This camp is more than sunshine. It is therapy. My hope is that along the way of all the pain, sadness, and uncertainties about having lupus, we all continue to strive toward helping the world know and work toward finding a cure."
