text:
The purpose of the Comprehensive Clinical Examination (CCE) is to assess the student's competencies in general psychological practice, to identify areas of strength and weakness in performance that may inform and guide the student's internship program, and to provide feedback to the faculty on the performance level of students and success of the curriculum. The examination is focused on an assessment work sample and an intervention work sample, but the review panel may examine the student on a full range of general practice knowledge, skills, and attitudes that also include the competency areas of relationship, research, management, supervision, consultation, education, diversity, and advocacy.
It is important for candidates to address elements of their own personal characteristics and background, which influence all aspects of their clinical practice. Therefore, in addition to discussing the theory, research, and practices which guide their clinical work, students should also discuss how their own characteristics influence their work, with special attention paid to issues of diversity throughout the exam.
Policies & Procedures
Professional Statement
The student provides typed responses to the three (3) areas on the student's Professional Statement Form. Responses should not exceed three and a half typed pages.
Assessment Work Sample
Please see the Assessment Portfolio Policy and Procedures for complete details on the selection and criteria for the assessment work sample and the CCE.
- Students must have at least four (4) test batteries in their Assessment Portfolio in order to sit for the CCE. At least two of the reports prepared prior to the CCE must represent the sole work of the students and the Case Review Form must identify these two reports. These batteries must be on file with Cynthia King in the Office of Clinical Training (OCT) at least two weeks prior to sitting for the CCE (typically this is completed in the Spring of 3rd Year).
- The assessment work sample consists of an integrated report (as defined in the Assessment Portfolio) as well as copies of all test protocols and test data.
- An integrated report includes identifying information, reason for referral, history/background, mental status, diagnosis, recommendations, and findings from at least two tests from one or more of the following categories:
- Formal personality measure (objective and/or projective)
- Intellectual or cognitive measure.
- Information from these sources is synthesized into a comprehensive report (typical length of four-eight pages) that provides an overall picture of the client.
- An integrated report includes identifying information, reason for referral, history/background, mental status, diagnosis, recommendations, and findings from at least two tests from one or more of the following categories:
- Only those assessment instruments that include a formal scoring and interpretation scheme should be considered for inclusion in the test battery.
- Both the student's sole work report and the supervised version of the same report are required for the CCE. The trainee is responsible for providing copies of the supervised sole work sample to the OCT.
- Students must identify which sole work from their Assessment Portfolio they wish to use for the CCE. The OCT will copy the unsupervised student work for distribution to panel members.
- An Assessment Overview Statement of about 500 – 750 words should be prepared to help the examiners contextualize the assessment work sample. For example, the student can briefly discuss the role of psychological testing at the site from which the assessment case is drawn, how the case came to be assigned to the student, or any other information that might help to frame the case and that is not included in the actual test report.
- The report should represent the student's best work and must include written integration of test findings. The submitted assessment reports must be signed by the supervising psychologist and the student.
- Four (clear/clean/legible) photocopies of test protocols and test data, must be submitted to the OCT along with four copies of the assessment report. All personal client identifying information must be deleted from the report and test protocols.
- The client must sign and date the Release of Information form indicating he or she understands the evaluation (with identifiers deleted) will be shared with faculty for educational training.
Intervention Practice Sample
- The student should select a practice sample from among one's field practice clients, making sure to have obtained informed consent from the client. The work sample should be one unedited video recording or audio recording of an intervention "hour" between the trainee and the client. Four copies of this unedited video or audio recordings are required.
- Along with these four copies of the intervention "hour" work sample, the student must also submit four copies of an intervention write-up that includes:
- Client identifying information
Presenting problem, history of the presenting problem
Brief psychosocial history
Clinical Formulation based on one or more theories of behavior/personality
DSM-V axis diagnosis derived from the clinical data
Treatment Plan for the course of intervention
- Strengths and weaknesses of the overall course of intervention including determinations of progress, process, and outcome.
- Strengths and weaknesses in the process, content, and outcome of the recorded session. Note the number of sessions and place in this sequence of the recorded session, e.g. #5 of 7or 5/7 sessions. Diversity issues involved should also be clearly elaborated. The discussion should relate to the treatment plan from a) above.
- Linkage with relevant theoretical and empirical literature regarding the treatment, the presenting problems, and the biopsychosocial context. Include a Reference List for all citations used.
- Client identifying information
This entire section should be no more than 2500 words in length.
Case Selection
The CCE assessment and intervention samples should come from the student's practicum site, unless extenuating circumstances prohibit this. The work samples should have routine supervision on site, except the sole assessment work sample, and cannot be presented in Practice Tutorial. Use of a CCE case from any other facility requires a written rationale to the Associate Dean who will consider permission for use of an alternate site case after review of the rationale and consultation with the current practicum site supervisor and PT instructor.
The intervention work sample may be an individual couple, family or a group. If the case includes multiple persons, each person must sign an appropriate Release of Information. The assessment and intervention sample may not be on the same client.
Preparation of Documents
- Cover sheet with student name, date and name of panel members
- Professional statement
- Assessment overview
- Supervised sole work assessment report *
- Test protocols and test data
- Intervention write-up
- Reference list for any citations used.
*A copy of the unsupervised sole work must be submitted as a separate document to the Office of Training prior to submitting your CCE packet.
Deliver each of the 4 copies of materials to the Office of Clinical Training in a 4 standard large envelopes. Do not bind pages or place them in a folder. All pages must be single sided and numbered, including test protocols and data, consecutively. Include releases of information with only one set of materials and designate this set on the outside of the envelope. Be sure your name appears in the upper left hand corner of each envelope and on each page of submitted materials.
The Review Panel
The Panel consists of three members. These members will include SOPP fully-affiliated faculty members, SOPP staff psychologists, psychology field supervisors and/or clinical faculty members. Students' current supervisors are not eligible to sit on the Panel. A student's PT instructor or dissertation chair may serve on the Panel. A SOPP fully-affiliated faculty member will serve as chair of the review panel. The Associate Dean will make the final approval and assignments of all panel members considering the domain of practice of the proposed samples.
The trainee must arrange the time and place of the evaluation acceptable to all panel members. All practice sample materials will be sent to panel members by the OCT. To assure the delivery of evaluation materials to panel members, at least two weeks before the examination date, students must submit their materials to the OCT at least three (3) weeks, 15 business days prior to the examination date confirmed with panel members. Examination dates can be coordinated any time after panels are announced to allow for the evaluation to be held during the spring or summer semester. See Section K for time lines.
Evaluation Considerations
The evaluation format is not rigidly fixed. It is expected that the work samples will elicit a wide range of issues related to a number of professional competency areas. The panel can apportion time and develop questions in relation to the practice samples and the panel's judged need to further evaluate particular competencies. Generally, after a brief introductory "warm-up," the panel starts with a review of the assessment sample followed by a review of the intervention sample. About an hour, sometimes longer, is devoted to the assessment sample, with about an hour devoted to the intervention sample. Another hour of time is distributed among the early introduction warm-up and a focus upon professional/legal issues, diversity issues, scientific issues, career development and follow-up issues. Most of this third hour is distributed at the end of the evaluation. Immediately following the evaluation, the student leaves the panel but remains in a nearby waiting area. Following a discussion/rating by the panel, the student returns to the panel for a brief feedback session. The total time for the exam is rarely more, and is sometimes less, than three hours.
The CCE Outcome: Evaluation & Feedback
Panel members use a set of criteria and rating scales to evaluate the examinee's performance (copies of the criteria and rating scales are attached). When panel members have completed the rating scales, the examinee is asked to return for feedback and recommendations, if any. A copy of the evaluation summary form is provided to the student from the OCT.
Successful completion of the CCE is required for advancement in the program and eligibility to apply for internship. One of the goals of the CCE is to inform the student, the faculty, and practicum and internship sites of the student's professional strengths and weaknesses. Depending on when the CCE occurs, the OCT will share a summary of the results of the CCE, especially recommendations for further training, with the student's current or next practicum site and/or the internship.
A maximum of two re-examinations is allowed; the third failure results in dismissal from the program.
The examination panel will independently review and rate the student's materials. Following the oral examination and discussion, the panel will provide a consensus outcome ratings for the CCE. This outcome rating can be Failure, Conditional Pass, Pass, or Pass with Distinction and is recorded on the summary form and signed by each panel member.
A student passes the CCE when the committee finds that the student's assessment sample, intervention sample, psychological knowledge and values demonstrated in the oral review, and professional role development are acceptable. Pass with Distinction is reserved for exceptional performance in submitted work for assessment and intervention and in the oral review. Pass with Distinction can only be awarded on an initial examination. Pass with Distinction cannot be given on examination after a Conditional Pass or a Failure. The panel chair is responsible for getting the completed Comprehensive Clinical Examination Summary form (Original Examination) to the OCT within seven (7) working days of the examination. The OCT will provide a copy to the student. Individual panel member worksheets will accompany the summary form. Students do not receive a copy of these worksheets.
Conditional Pass
In the case of a Conditional Pass, the student is required to revise or provide additions to materials submitted or to redo an oral exam. In these cases the panel feels that the student's basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes are adequate but require a refined and more thorough presentation. The panel will make a recommendation to the Associate Dean, who will decide whether the entire panel or a subgroup will review in the case of a Conditional Pass. A Conditional Pass Form will specify the requirements for the revision or addition. A student is considered to have passed the CCE if the materials submitted for a Conditional Pass are found acceptable. Otherwise, the student fails, and the conditions regarding failure, outlined below, apply.
The panel chair is responsible for getting the completed Conditional Pass Form along with the completed Comprehensive Clinical Examination Summary form (Original Examination) to the OCT within seven (7) working days of the examination date. The OCT will provide copies to the student. Individual panel member worksheets will accompany the summary form. Students do not receive a copy of these worksheets.
Within the time frame established, the student is responsible for completing the requirements on the conditional pass form and submitting them to the OCT for distribution to indicated panel members for review. The panel chair is responsible for coordinating the review and getting a completed Comprehensive Clinical Examination Summary form (Conditional Pass) to the OCT within seven (7) working days of the review date indicated on the conditional pass form. The OCT will provide a copy of the form to the student.
Students who receive an outcome rating of Failure are required to submit a new assessment and/or a new intervention sample. A retake of either part of the CCE constitutes a reexamination which will include an oral. The oral examination for either part of the CCE, taken alone, will not exceed 1½ hours. Prior to re-examination, students are expected to remediate areas of weaknesses identified by the CCE panel. The Re-examination Form will specify the area(s) for the new work sample, recommended remediation, and any other requirements for the re-examination. The panel will also make a recommendation to the Associate Dean, who will decide on the use of the same committee or a new committee for the re-examination. The panel chair is responsible for getting the completed Re-examination Form along with the completed Comprehensive Clinical Examination Summary form (Original Examination) to the OCT within seven (7) days of the original examination date. The OCT will provide a copy to the student. Individual panel member worksheets will accompany the re-examination and summary forms. Students do not receive copies of these worksheets.
The student is responsible for arranging a date, time, and place for the re-examination. Procedures for the preparation and submission of materials to the OCT, discussed above, and in the CCE Time Lines table below, apply. The CCE must be passed by August 31 of the academic year in which the original CCE was taken in order for students to be eligible for internship review. A student is considered to have passed the CCE upon re-examination when the consensus rating of the panel members is passing. As with an original CCE examination, the panel chair is responsible for getting the completed Comprehensive Clinical Examination Summary form (Re-examination) to the OCT within seven (7) working days of the examination. The OCT will provide a copy to the student. Individual panel member worksheets will accompany the summary form. Students do not receive a copy of these worksheets.
In rare cases, the panel may decide on a failure prior to the oral examination, if the members' independent and consensus ratings agree that submitted materials are too weak to move forward. In these cases, the chair and the Associate Dean will notify the student. The oral examination time will be used to give feedback and remediation recommendations for the re-examination. Within 14 days of the examination, the Associate Dean, student, and panel representative will meet to review and confirm reexamination plans. Students are automatically dismissed from the program at the time of the third failure.
Case Materials
At the end of an oral examination or after review of conditional pass materials, all work samples, and related documents must be returned to the OCT for appropriate disposal.
Internship Eligibility
The Comprehensive Clinical Exam is a major evaluation of each student's level of integration and application of clinical and academic knowledge to the practice domain prior to the student's last year in the program and the start of clinical internship. The CCE also must be passed by August 31 of the academic year before the student intends to apply for internship. The CCE is a critical element which contributes to eligibility to apply for internship. Students who have not passed the CCE by August 31 of a given summer must wait until the following year to apply for internship. Students are, therefore, urged to work diligently on their CCE materials once they have been assigned a panel, and to schedule their oral exam as early in the year as they can, given the goal also of preparing strong materials and a strong oral defense. If there is a need to retake an exam, earlier scheduling will allow time for such re-examination to occur and to be passed before the August 31 deadline.
Submission of CCE Materials and Scheduling of the Oral Exam
As stated earlier, all students who are either entering the third year of a standard program, or who are entering the second year of an accelerated program will be assigned CCE panels by early spring semester of that academic year. CCE guidelines, policies, and procedures will be distributed to these students along with panel assignments.

text: Can private label retain its recessionary gains? Retailers must stay relevant with value-conscious consumers Lynn Celmer June 20, 2011 No Comments No matter who you ask or which study you read, consensus suggests that constraint and resourcefulness are the new norms in grocery shopping. Given the still less-than-robust economy, a tight consumer credit market and sluggish consumer confidence, Americans have changed the way they shop. Moreover, many agree that these new behaviors are here to stay. The so-called new consumer — one who is slower to spend and always looking for ways to make $2 buy what $4 once did — is still out there. Read More

Comments about Spinervals DVD-5 Pack:
I bought 3 of these DVD packs. I wanted something for indoors that would be challenging during the winter months and these definitely fulfill that need. I would not expect a novice to complete the videos at first but you can easily tone it down to your level or just cut the workout off early. I have my road bike on a Nashbar fluid trainer and still cannot complete most of the videos at the recommended gearing. I will eventually however! :)Now the bad...Some of the videos are extremely poor quality if that matters to you. Obviously most are dated back to the VHS days. For some reason, about half of my brand new DVDs will randomly 'skip' or get video artifacts on the scree as well. There are no scratches on the DVDs and they don't always happen at the same points in the video. No clue why they do it. The music can be annoying at times, but the newer DVDs have the option to not have the music which is great.The content does not disappoint. A great, fun workout. The execution and the expense however makes it a 3 star (Average).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

With so many new apps launching these days, it's a pain to sort through them all and discover new cool apps for your device, especially if you have an Android. This week's Must Have App, Rex (by Mapsaurus), helps to discover new apps through recommendations based on the apps you already use and love.
Rex is the easiest way to discover new apps and games.
More Apps Please!
Every week, Rex recommends new apps based on previous behavior. Instead of spamming you with dozens of mediocre recommendations, Rex generates precise, personalized suggestions.
Rex is different than other recommendation engines, because of its interactive web of related apps. This feature lets the user explore apps by following connections between related apps. This means that even if a recommendation isn't perfect, you can still explore the surrounding apps and discover something perfect or something totally unexpected.
The Rex Story
Rex is part of the TigerLabs University accelerator and the Rackspace Startup Program. Published in 2012 on Google Play, the app took off after it was posted on Reddit. Within a couple of weeks, Rex had almost 20,000 installs and was named "Beste Newcomer-App" by Android Magazine earlier this year.
How Does It Work?
From the moment you open Rex, you're presented with personalized recommendations. There's no need to fill out a survey, rate your favorite apps or login. You can then explore the apps surrounding recommendations, apps similar to your own current apps, browse collections of related apps and more.
A dozen servers constantly update the mega database of apps, making sure it's as up-to-date and complete as possible. Then, another server analyzes that data and processes it so it's useable by our recommendation algorithms.
The Android app also communicates with a few web servers via an internal API. These web servers generate almost everything you see in the app on the fly (unless it's pre-cached, of course).
Technically, the Rex stack consists of Linux servers on Rackspace, MongoDB, Redis, Celery, Flask and, of course, Android. The code is in Java and Python, and developers used Bash scripts and Cron jobs to keep everything patched together and running smoothly.
"Most of our data resides in MongoDB while some data about relationships between apps resides in Redis (sometimes we have to breadth-first-search). We chose these technologies for speed and ease of use," said Co-Founder Kenrick Rilee.
"On the front-end, we use lots of open-source libraries, and a few months ago, we launched our own open-source project, which makes it easy to build flexible phone/tablet apps," according to Rilee.
Try It Out
Rex is the easiest way to discover new Android apps relevant to you. It provides precise, personalized app recommendations and lets you explore a visual web of related apps.
"We want to help users discover new apps and developers reach the right users," said Rilee.
To start discovering great apps just for you head over to Google Play or the Mapsaurus website to explore Rex.
Check back each week as we highlight a new Must Have App. If you missed last week, take a look at our previous Must Have App: How About We
If you're a startup running on Rackspace and would like to be part of this series, let us know and we'll set up a time to talk and learn more about your awesome app.

COLUMBUS GROVE — A new principal has been hired for the Columbus Grove Elementary School.
Brad Calvelage was given a two-year contract, beginning August 1, by the Columbus Grove School Board Tuesday night during a special meeting. He has served as an elementary principal at Patrick Henry School District for the past three years. He will oversee the elementary, which consists of kindergarten through grade six.
Superintendent Nick Verhoff, who was currently serving as both superintendent and elementary principal, said school officials at Patrick Henry said Calvelage did a great job for them and they did not want to see him leave.
"We are really looking forward to him coming here," Verhoff said.
Calvelage, originally from Ottoville, is currently living in Fort Jennings with his wife Manda and their three children Owen, Autumn, both age seven, and Brynn, age three. Calvelage received his degree at Bowling Green State University and his Masters from the University of Findlay. He started his career teaching at the Otsego School District.
Calvelage said he really enjoyed his time at Patrick Henry, but was looking forward to getting closer to home. He said the Columbus Grove School District has a great reputation and he has found the staff to be very welcoming.
"I've heard great things about the leadership and the staff in place here," Calvelage said.
Verhoff told the board in February he had originally intended to continue in both roles for another year. Verhoff noted he wanted to experience the elementary position first-hand to be able to implement various initiatives. But he realized he was not meeting the needs of the elementary staff. He felt the staff was wonderful and patient with him and has done a tremendous job, but they deserve a full-time administrator.

Boric acid is a white, crystalline chemical substance that has
antifungal and antiviral properties. It is used in various prescription
pharmaceutical products and is also available without a prescription. Some experts
now recommend vaginal boric acid capsules as a treatment option for
vaginal yeast infections, particularly infections that
can't be cured by antifungal yeast infection medicines.1
If you are pregnant, do not use vaginal boric acid treatment.
You can make your own boric acid suppositories by filling size 00
gelatin capsules with boric acid (about
600 mg). Standard yeast infection treatment is
one capsule inserted in the vagina at bedtime for 7 days. For treatment of recurring yeast infections, standard yeast infection treatment is done for two weeks, and then boric acid can be used twice a week for 6
months to 1 year.1
More research is needed to find out how well boric acid works. Some studies have shown it cures up
to 98 out of 100 women. But symptoms may return in some women, so maintenance treatment over several months will be needed.2
When used in capsules as a vaginal suppository, boric acid is only
known to sometimes cause skin irritation. But when used by mouth
(internally), on open wounds, or by children, boric acid is toxic.
Keep boric acid out of the reach of children. Boric acid
is not safe to use if you are pregnant.

B.P. Allen, Jr.
November 23, 1928 –
April 4, 2012
Burton Prentice Allen, Jr. – better known as "Pete" – died at his home in Milaca, Minnesota, on Wednesday, April 4, 2012. He was 83. Cause of death was Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (hardening of the lung tissues with no specific cause) and lung cancer.
At the time of his diagnosis, he was given a maximum life expectancy of four years; he lived for eight years. During that time, Pete was appreciative of his mostly good health and to be given the opportunity to complete projects – personally, professionally and within his community. He considered the last few years to be "bonus time," which was lived with grace, joy and Pete's humble easygoing attitude. In his final days, Pete broke from his typically reserved Scandinavian nature and "I love you" was often heard around the Allen family home.
B.P. Allen, Jr. was born in Milaca, Minnesota, on November 23, 1928, to Burton and Stella Thompson Allen. His parents allowed him to pick his own first name and he was known as just "Pete" until he chose to take his father's name. He grew up in Wabash, Indiana, where his dad moved in 1933 to start a bank where all others had failed. After graduating from Wabash High School in 1946, he attended Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana, where for three summers, he rode on the jumping team as part of their Black Horse Troop. Since he came to age as a youngster with a slight build, Pete said he chose horsemanship as a passion and as a sport in which he could excel. He returned to Culver for the following three summers as a drill instructor and handicraft teacher.
Pete went on to graduate from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, with a B.A. major in economics and a fair amount of success on their track team. In 1952, he received his MBA in accounting from the Wharton Graduate Division of the University of Pennsylvania. During his second year in the MBA program, he was asked to teach accounting to undergraduates.
After a brief stint on the audit staff of Arthur Anderson & Co. in Chicago, Pete enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, spending three years as a 1st Lt. and Special Agent of Special Investigations with duty in the US, Germany and London.
In 1956, Pete returned to Milaca to join his father at The First National Bank of Milaca, an institution which has been in the Allen family since 1897. Pete's father, Burton Sr., was president for many years, as had his grandfather, J.A. Allen, since the early 1900s.
Pete became president and CEO in 1965. "I think I was cut out to be a community banker," Allen said in a 2011 genealogical interview. "I think that's what my natural bent was for, to be a part of a small community."
He credits the bank's success to "the wonderful and loyal support of the bank staff and board of directors," of which he remained active as a director until his death.
Pete always took civic responsibility very seriously, and was involved at various times with numerous organizations and countless community projects. Of community service, he said, "I think at some stage in life, people have got to do some thinking about what it means to be a good citizen. What does that entail, and what opportunities are there? That's something that I think is important."
He functioned as the chairman/president of the Milaca Chamber of Commerce (three times), Central Mille Lacs United Way, Milaca Lions Club, Milaca Golf Club, City of Milaca Planning Commission and the Milaca Development Corporation. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church, American Legion, VFW and an active leader of the Central Minnesota Council of Boy Scouts. In 2011, Pete and his wife, Thora, were elected to the Milaca High School Hall of Fame for their community service.
Like his father before him, Pete's career in finance extended far beyond his own community bank. As a banker, he was respected on both the statewide and national level, and served as the president of the Minnesota Bankers Association, director of the American Bankers Association, chairman of the American Institute of Banking and director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. He was also a founder of Falcon National Bank in Foley, Minnesota, and for 12 years, was a director of ECM Publishers in Anoka.
In a small town, personal and professional lives are closely intertwined. As a young banker, Pete dated and married Thora Olson, the beautiful Miss Milaca, whose family lived above the hardware store across the street from the bank. While Pete continued to work at the bank, the couple dated during Thora's college days at Hamline University in St. Paul, where she graduated with a degree in medical technology.
The couple married in 1959. "Probably that was the happiest day of my life when we got married," Pete said. "I guess first I was attracted to her because she's so beautiful. Was, and is. And she was very goal-oriented and focused."
In 1963, Pete and Thora celebrated the birth of their first son, Eric, on the exact day – and hour — of the grand celebration that marked the opening of First National Bank's present location. The couple went on to have three more sons, Andrew, Kirby and Matthew. "We have four fine sons, all different in every regard," he noted.
Pete and his family enjoyed life on the Rum River near Milaca, at their cabin on the beach at Mille Lacs Lake, as well as taking long motor home trips. He also enjoyed skiing, golfing, fishing and flying. He got his solo pilots license at age 62, and participated in a 2001 "round the world" airplane derby from Dubai to Bali.
A lifelong passion for Pete was woodworking and tinkering in his workshop. Special projects – and gifts thereof – were marked with "BPA," Pete's horse brand from his early days.
Pete loved his antique wooden boat collection. One boat that he refinished sunk immediately on its first excursion into the water, which became an often-repeated and embellished-upon family story. Another of Pete's classic wooden boats won 3 top awards at the 2000 Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance Wooden Boat Show. It was donated and now resides in the Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum in Alexandria, Minnesota. Another recently refinished boat – a 17-foot 1942 Chris-Craft barrelback, was returned to Pete last fall after more than three years in the shop for refinishing. Like many of his unfinished projects, Pete was sad to note that he'd never see it in the water.
Pete's advice for others: "That time wheel goes around faster than one might think. Set some focus of things that a person wants to do, whether they be work accomplishments or pleasure, for fun or travel, or whatever. I think Thora and I had a full, happy life."
He is survived by his "loved and loving wife" of 52 years, Thora; four sons, Eric (Los Angeles), Andrew (Brooklyn Park, MN), Kirby (Onamia, MN), Matthew (Denver); granddaughter Hailey; cousins, Bill Thompson (Wayzata, MN), John Allen (Coon Rapids, MN), Bob Allen (Discovery Bay, CA); and many other relatives, including special nieces, Sherrie Allen Sargent (Highland Park, IL), Kim Monson (Ramsey, MN) and Candy Binsfeld (Lafayette, CO).
He is preceded in death by his parents, Burton and Stella Allen; a brother, Jack Allen; a sister-in-law, Margaret Allen and a nephew, Mac Allen.
Memorial services will be a visitation with family at Trinity Lutheran Church in Milaca on Friday, April 20 from 5-8 p.m. A funeral service will be held at Trinity at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, with a reception following at the Phoenix Banquet Center in Milaca.
Memorials are preferred to the Milaca Scholarship Foundation (email@example.com), the Zion Lutheran Church or donors' choice.
For more information, please contact Stephanie Halstead at The First National Bank of Milaca, 320-983-3101 or email@example.com.
Funeral arrangements are made by Peterson-Johnson Funeral Home, Milaca.

(Reuters) - Oncolytics Biotech Inc said a mid-stage trial of its experimental lung cancer drug showed that 95 percent of the patients experienced a reduction in the size of their tumors, sending its stock up as much as 38 percent.
Shares of the company, with a market value of about C$279 million ($273 million) as of Thursday close, touched an 11-month high of C$4.94, making them among the top percentage gainers on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.
The drug, Reolysin, was used intravenously in combination with chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel. It was tested on patients suffering from metastatic, or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
Squamous cell carcinomas account for about a fourth of all lung cancers, the company said.
However, Oppenheimer & Co analyst Boris Peaker said in a note the single-arm study was inconclusive and the spike in the company's stock price associated with this news was not warranted.
"Since the chemotherapy itself is highly active, it is difficult to estimate the impact that Reolysin is making," said Peaker, who kept his "perform" rating on the stock.
The company said the results further suggest that Reolysin may have potential use in pre-surgical settings.
"Based on these findings we intend to continue to look at Reolysin as a treatment for cancers of the lung and cancers that metastasize to the lung," Chief Executive Brad Thompson said.
Calgary-based Oncolytics said in September the first part of a mid-stage trial of its lung cancer drug met the main goal of showing patient response.
The company's U.S.-listed shares rose 38 percent to $4.93.

POLICE have launched an appeal for help in locating a man dubbed 'Batman' after a bank in Stokenchurch was robbed in December.
Two men allegedly assaulted two female members of staff at Lloyds and stole a substantial sum of cash from the safe during a raid at about 9.10am on December 9.
The pair fled the branch in Church Path, Stokenchurch, in separate vehicles, police said.
Thames Valley Police yesterday released these CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the robbery.
He is black and was wearing a black coat, black gloves, with a red postal-style bag.
He was also wearing a black peaked cap with a Batman logo on it.
Det Con Matt Kent said: "Do you know who Batman is?
"I would ask anyone who recognises the man depicted in the CCTV image to speak to police.
"The incident was carried out in broad daylight in Stokenchurch and left members of staff in the bank severely shaken.
"If you witnessed the incident in December and haven't already spoken to the police, please call the non-emergency number on 101."
The appeal was featured on BBC One's Crimewatch last night.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit www.crimestoppers-uk.org – no personal details are recorded.

UPDATE: Melancholia still in competition even as Cannes board declares von Trier 'persona non grata'
The Cannes board of directors has released a statement declaring Melancholia director Lars von Trier as a "persona non grata" at the Cannes Film Festival, following his "Nazi" comments at a press conference yesterday.
But the Cannes press office confirms to Screen this afternoon that the film is still in Competition and eligible for the Palme d'Or.
Today's statement read:
"The Festival de Cannes provides artists from around the world with an exceptional forum to present their works and defend freedom of expression and creation. The Festival's Board of Directors, which held an extraordinary meeting this Thursday 19 May 2011, profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the Festival.
The Board of Directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars Von Trier a persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately."
At the Melancholia press conference in Cannes yesterday, von Trier called himself a Nazi and that he "sympathised with Hitler a little bit."
He later issued a statement apologising for his comments. (See that story here).
Readers' comments (6)
Oh, come on. You only have to watch the press conference to see this was a confused and poor joke, riffing off a directly leading question designed to get a controversial response, that got out of hand.
It's sad to see the Cannes board getting caught up in the ludicrous histrionics of internet 'journalists' and rhetoric.
It's obvious it was a joke. A poor and appalling joke maybe, but this is a very American response from the Cannes board and they should be ashamed of themselves for helping to continue to blow this all out of proportion.
Give me a break Cannes!
Wait so 'convicted of statutory rape' Roman Polanski is always a welcome figure in Cannes; and 'pleaded no contest to domestic battery (quite apart from his various - very much not joking - racist, sexist and anti-semitic comments)' Mel Gibson was welcomed for The Beaver this week in Cannes; but 'made an idiotic joke that got out of hand' Lars von Trier is now banned from Cannes for good!
Ludicrous. Hypocritical. Nonsense.
I actually don't have a problem with Cannes welcoming Polanski and Gibson - i am looking forward to seeing The Beaver - but this is such hypocrisy it needs addressing.
I agree with the honourable Mr Mitchell and our good friend Anonymous that the festival's reaction is over the top and hypocritical, but feel it is important to stress that von Trier's comments, albeit in jest, were totally inappropriate and hugely offensive, and he should have had the sense to stop himself mid sentence realising it wasn't very funny, and apologise on the spot, rather than ramble on. It was obvious that he actually believed some of what he was saying, despite trying to hide under the veil of humour.
Using offensive language in front of the cameras has merely lowered him to the level of an infamous professional footballer.
Absolutely agree his comments were inappropriate and offensive and showed extraordinary poor judgement and taste. My criticism of the festival's hypocrisy still stands.
it's rampant political correctness that has no relation either to the memory of Holocaust victims, nor to antifascism. for the stupid question of the journalist, why Trier was inspired by the Nazi art, this journalist should be thrown out of the Cannes for professionalnouyu unfitness. Similar solutions directorate of the festival devalue serious attitude to the problem of Nazism and to be killed during WWII
Lars Von Trier has always set himself up as the bad boy of Cannes. This is no different. I watched the press conference and I believe that he just got bored with the dumb questions - questions that should have been of a higher standard - and he decided to spice things up a bit with a few neatly tossed hand grenades. And it did the trick. If you were a journo and you were reviewing your transcripted notes from that press conference, what would you lead with? "Lars Von Trier says he's a Nazi." That's the only decent copy came out of that otherwise boring press conference. Give the guy a break Cannes Board, please.
Have your say

In ES4, Mobile Form had a limitation that it could only hide the template references from the form URL exposed to the user. In ES4 SP1, one can overcome it using the new ways of passing parameters to Mobile Form render service.
Based on your preference and requirement, you can choose to specify the render parameters like template reference, data reference, submit url etc either as node properties or as setAttribute API of server request object. In this post, I will go through both the options in detail and discuss pros and cons. Ideally, in production system, one should use any of these two methods of passing parameters over the request parameter method wherein all parameters are visible to the user accessing the url. Besides hiding the parameters, these two methods also make maintenance easy. For example, let's say you want to change the data reference, then you wont need to update the URL everywhere because it is anyway not part of the URL.
Let's say, you already have a servlet or JSP running on the same server and you want to forward the user request to the Mobile Form profile renderer using servlet forwarding. In this case, you can expose the URL of your servlet or jsp as Form URL. That user facing JSP may, in turn, set the template and data references in the request object before forwarding, using setAttribute API of servlet. Now this approach would mean you create one user facing JSP/servlet for each form or pass some parameter based on which it can select a form. The jsp would like the following:
//similarly for other parameters and then get the request dispatcher of the profile URL and forward it.
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/content/xfaforms/profiles/default.html");
rd.forward(request, response);
If you create the user facing URLs in sling subsystem then it better to go for the other approach. Because, you have to create a content node anyway, to create a new REST URL. But if you are creating node, then you can specify the parameters as node properties as mention in post. In the following screenshot, you would notice, how I have specified Mobile Form render parameters as node properties of "leave" node created under /content section. Also, I specified resourceSuperType for this node to default profile renderer of Mobile Form.
As is evident from the above, you need to create one node for each combination of render api parameter.
It is good practice to do mix and match of both approaches. It is good to specify the static or less dynamic properties like template reference as node properties and pass other dynamic or frequently changing parameters like data reference as setAttribute method.

Scott Shipp has seen a lot of storms, however, nothing prepared him for the damage he witnessed as he made his way to Grant County High School on Feb. 6.
The GCHS athletic director arrived at the high school at 5:30 a.m. and met with Deputy Superintendent Ken Gray, who told Shipp to check on the athletic fields.
It did not take Shipp long to see there was plenty of damage.

"Our invitations arrived recently (sooner than expected) and look absolutely beautiful! The design requests we submitted were perfect and really helped to make our invitations unique."
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"Beautiful design! We love everything about this invitation. It fits our theme of "Backwoods Boy and a Fairy Tale Princess" The best part of this process was the free designer who edited our customization and made it perfect and the great email communication. Two thumbs up!"
"My fiance and I fell in love with these invitations because of the beautiful trees. The invitation was simple, yet perfect to describe to our guests the feel of our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully. I gave the Design 4 stars only because there isn't room to add much else - so the wording you see is really all that will fit (which in reality, is probably a good thing so that the invitation doesn't get too cluttered.)"
"I absolutely love my invitations! I was able to add the "Detail" section to the back of the card to save money and it turned out great!"

- About Plattsburgh
Membership to the SUNY Plattsburgh Fitness Center includes access to the vertical world of rock climbing. Members can now enjoy the benefits, challenges, and excitement of our climbing venue located on the lower level of Memorial Hall.
Formerly the home of a racquetball court on the lower level of Memorial Hall, the climbing gym offers opportunities to boulder, top-rope and lead climb. Eighteen hundred square feet of varied climbing terrain will reward the first time climber to the most experienced.
The facility is supervised by experienced climbers who are available to provide instruction to fitness center members at convenient times. Climbing equipment including harnesses and shoes will be provided. Climbing is an all around fitness activity that helps to promote strength, flexibility, and balance.
If you are looking for a new dimension to your workouts, try rock climbing today!
Bouldering is climbing horizontally and vertically underneath a twelve foot line without being attached to a rope. Bouldering allows the individual to climb without a partner or the confinement of a rope so they are free to move easily in all directions. Bouldering problems (taped climbing paths) are set on a regular basis and holds are moved around to offer variations in the climbing terrain for individuals just learning to boulder as well as seasoned veterans. Bouldering can occur any time the wall is open for open climbing.
Rope Climbing involves at least two people. One person is the belayer and one the climber. The climber ties them self into the rope and climbs vertically up the wall. The belayer holds the rope and catches the climber in case of a fall as well as lowers them to the ground. Vertical taped routes are set on a regular basis.
The Fitness Center provides all the necessary equipment. Experienced climbers may bring their own shoes, harnesses and belay devices provided they pass inspection.
If you are a fitness center member, there are no additional costs to participate.
The Fitness Center provides complete management of the climbing program and receives technical assistance from the Expeditionary Studies Program. The climbing wall is always supervised when open by trained and experienced student climbers. They have the skills and knowledge necessary to instruct you on how to climb safely.
You have to check in first at the front desk of the fitness center where you will need to provide proof of fitness center membership and sign an acknowledgment of risk form. Next, you will be issued a climbing wall access card and climbing shoes if needed. If bouldering on the wall, you do not need to be belay certified. To become belay certified, you will need to attend a training session. Once you pass your belay test, you will be issued a belay card. You will need to present your belay card each time you check into the fitness center and you will be issued the appropriate access card in order to rope climb.
During the academic year, Monday through Friday: 4:00pm to 8:00pm.
Belay training and certification classes are offered Monday through Thursday from 4:00-5:00pm. You must pre-register for a class at the front desk of the fitness center. Space in belay classes will be limited.
Fitness Center members must follow these guidelines. Infractions of these policies, or other behavior deemed unsafe, inappropriate, or threatening to the well being of self or others, may lead to loss of climbing privileges.

davegraham - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkso NUMA is an interesting one. Intel's QPI bus is actually quite good and worth spending some time to get to know.
dave Reply
Ratman6161 - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkMany products license on a per CPU basis. For Microsoft anyway, what they actually count is the number of sockets. For example SQL Server Enterprise retails for $25K per CPU. So an old 4 socket system with single cores would be 4 x $25K = $100K. A quad socket system with quad core CPUs would be a total of 16 cores but the pricing would still be 4 sockets x $25K = 100K. It used to be that Oracle had a complex formula for figuring this but I think they have now also gone to the simpler method of just counting sockets (though their enterprise edition is $47.5K).
If you are using VMWare, they also charge per socket (last I knew) so two dual socket systems would cost the same as a single 4 socket system. Thing is though you need to have at least two boxes in order to enable the high availability (i.e. automatic failover) functionality. Reply
Stuka87 - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkFor VMWare they have a few pricing structures. You can be charged per physical socket, or you can get an unlimited socket license (which is what we have, running one seven R910's). You just need to figure out if you really need the top tier license. Reply

Is this ebay? Reply
Devo2007 - Tuesday, August 10, 2010 - linkI was going to comment on the same thing.
1) A dual core 2GHz CPU does not equal "4GHz of computing power" - unless somehow you were achieving an exact doubling of performance (which is extremely rare if it exists at all).
2) Even if there was a workload that did show a full doubling of performance, performance isn't measured in MHz & GHz. A dual-core 2GHz Intel processor does not perform the same as a 2GHz AMD CPU.

mino - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkYou seem to know very little about the (40yrs old!) virtualization market.
It flourishes from *comoditising* processing power.
Why clearly meant a joke, that statement of Johan, is much closer to the truth than most market "research" reports on x86. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkExactly. ESX resource management let you reserve CPU power in GHz. So for ESX, two 2.26 GHz cores are indeed a 4.5 GHz resource. Reply
duploxxx - Thursday, August 12, 2010 - linksure you can count resources together as much as you want... virtually. But in the end a single process is still only able to handle the max ghz a single cpu can offer but can finish the request faster. That is exactly the thing why those Nehalem and gulf still hold against the huge core count of Magny cours. Reply
maeveth - Tuesday, August 10, 2010 - linkSo I have nothing at all against AnandTech's recent articles on Virtualization however so far all of them have only looked at Virtualization from a compute density point of view.
I currently am the administrator of a VMware environment used for development work and I run into I/O bottle necks FAR before I ever run into a compute bottleneck. In fact computational power is pretty much the LAST bottleneck I run into. My environment currently holds just short of 300 VMs, OS varies. We peak at approximately 10-12K IOPS.
From my experience you always have to look at potential performance in a virtual environment at a much larger perspective. Every bottleneck effects others in subtle ways. For example if you have a memory bottleneck, either host or guest based you will further impact your I/O subsystem, though you should aim to not have to swap. In my opinion your storage backend is the single most important factor when determining large-scale-out performance in a virtualized environment.
My environment has never once run into a CPU bottleneck. I use IBM x3650/x3650M2 with Dual Quad Xeons. The M2s use X5570s specifically.
While I agree having impressive magnitudes of "GHz" in your environment is kinda fun it hardly says anything about how that environment will preform in a real world environment. Granted it is all highly subject to work load patterns.
I also want to make it clear that I understand that testing on a such a scale is extremely cost prohibitive. As such I am sure AnandTech, Johan speficially, is doing the best he can with what resources he is given. I just wanted to throw my knowledge out there.
Yes, software licensing is a huge factor when purchasing ESX servers. ESX is licensed per socket. It's a balancing act that depends on your work load however. A top end ESX license costs about $5500/year per socket. Reply
mino - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkHowever, IMO storage performance analysis is pretty much beyond AT's budget ballpark by an order of magnitude (or two).
There is a reason this space is so happily "virtualized" by storage vendors AND customers to a "simple" IOPS number.
It is a science on its own. Often closer to black (empiric) magic than deterministic rules ...
on the other hand, nothing prevents you form mentioning this sad fact:
Except edge cases, a good virtualization solution is build from the ground up with
1. SLA's
2. storage solution
3. licensing considerations
4. everything else (like processing architecture) dictated by the previous Reply
JohanAnandtech - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkI can only agree of course: in most cases the storage solution is the main bottleneck. However, this is aloso a result of the fact that most storage solutions out there are not exactly speed demons. Many storage solutions out there consist of overengineered (and overpriced) software running on outdated hardware. But things are changing quickly now. HP for example seems to recognize that a storage solution is very similar to a server running specialized software. There is more, with a bit of luck, Hitachi and Intel will bring some real competition to the table. (currently STEC has almost a monopoly on the enterprise SSD disks). So your number 2 is going to tumble down :-). Reply
haplo602 - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkThis is one of the bottlenecks of your virtualised environemnt. A storage solution is only the limit if you do not use it as it was designed to be used.
the more IO demanding application you have, the less virtualisation is going to offer any benefits. usualy CPU power is the last issue after netwrok, disk and memory.
I had a good laugh at the opening page. High end servers are High end not because of the increased performance but because of the better management and disaster tolerance/recovery they offer. After all, they use the same CPUs and memory as the low end servers, just everything else is different (OLRAD, hot swap/plug of almost anything except memory and CPU). Reply
webdev511 - Thursday, August 12, 2010 - linkWell, if you're willing to spend some more money on Solid State (if you go with two twelve core cpus you'll save on licences) you could stuff four of the new Fusion IO 1.28 TB Duo Drives into the box and map them as System Drives and then use attached storage for big files. Reply
SomeITguy - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkNo offense intended, and I know this will put you on the defensive, but it sounds to me like the "development environment" was ill conceived in the design phase. You obviously overbought on processor power. The first step in designing an environment, is knowing what your apps need. You can't just buy servers, then whine about how poorly the performance matches the overall system capability...
Last job I had Citrix Xen on HP blades with 53xx and 54xx CPU's, running about 150 production VM's. On the order of >300 total, with R&D and QA. The company had no money, and because of that we only ran local storage for the OS and most functions. The shared data we did have were on Netapps, and that alone constantly spiked up to +25k IOPS. I can't remember were each blade sat on IOPS, but it was high. I was able to balance resources utilized most of the day to about the ~60% level, with spikes hitting the high 80's. No resources being overly wasted. To do this effectively takes time and patience. You need to economize. 12 VM's on a blade with 16GB of memory was not unheard of...
Then there is the whole ESX thing, eh, won't get into that. Again, you need to know what is going to run on the servers before you spend (waste) money.
In my experience, It's typical that managers just override the lowly sysadmin advice, take a vendors word over the sysadmin who manages the app, or a business unit buys you the equipment without consulting, then says "here, make it work".
Overall, I thought the article good. It is just a guide, not a bible. Reply

Testing servers is not like testing videocards. I can not plug the R815 in a ready installed windows pc and push the button of "Servermark". It does not work that way as you indicate yourself. A complete storage system must be set up, and in many cases ESX fails to install the first time on a brand new server. We perform a whole battery of monitoring tests for example that confirm that the DQL is low enough.
The storage system we use for the 4 tile test is a 8 disk SSD system for the OLTP tests (described in this article). The VMs themselves sit on a separate RAID controller connect to a promise JBOD. The JBOD has 8 15000 rpm SAS disks. The only really disk intensive app is Swingbench in this test, and by making sure both data and logs get their separate SSD , we achieve DQLs under 0.1. There is lot more to the Oracle config, but if you are interested, we can share the parameter file.
Anyway, the low DQL and the fact that we scale well from 2 tot 4 tiles shows that we are not limited by the disks. Reply
davegraham - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkjohan,
I work with VMware for a living doing platform testing for the product i support. ;) consequently, I'm very well aware of the requirements for testing VMware and the various and sundry components within the server. Hence, my slightly critical view of what you're doing here.
appreciate the response on the storage....again, all well and good with that explanation.
I'll put my quad socket 6176SE system against your 7500 system anyday and i'll enjoy lower rack footprint, lower power consumption, and a positively brilliant VMware experience. ;)

Casper42 - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkDue to the way Dell implemented the memory on their latest Quad socket machines, if you run 2 CPUs with the FlexMem bridge, you get full memory bandwidth but half of the memory sockets are further away from the CPU due to the extra trace length of going to the empty CPU socket and through the FlexMem bridge.
When you put in 4 CPUs you only get half the memory bandwidth of an Intel reference design. This is because the traces that would normally go to the empty CPU socket and through the FlexMem now go essentially nowhere because the CPU in that socket needs the access instead.
I would say try IBM or HP. Just beware that IBM does some weird stuff when it comes to their Max5 memory expansion module that can also cause additional memory latency for some of the DIMM sockets and not the others. Reply

dilidolo - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkDepends on how many vCPU and memory you assign to each VM and how much physical memory your server has. CPU is rarely the bottleneck , memory and storage are.

davegraham - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkwas going to say that a small amount of memory oversubscription is "ok" depending on the workload but you'd want that buffered with something a little more powerful than spinning disk (SSD, for example). Reply
tech6 - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkThe parameters for determining the optimal configuration for VMWare go well beyond just which CPU is faster. I like the AT stories about server tech but there need to be broader considerations of server features.
1. Many applications are memory limited and not CPU bound so the memory flexibility may trump CPU power. That is why 256Gb with a dual 75xx or 6xxx series CPU in an 810 may well be the better choice than either a quad socket or dual socket 56xx configuration.
2. Software licensing is a big part of choosing the server as it is often licensed per socket. Sometime more cores and more memory is cheaper than more sockets.
3. Memory reliability is another major issue. Large amounts of plain ECC memory will most likely result in problems 2-3 years after deployment. The platforms available with the 6xxx and 75xx series CPUs support memory reliability features that often make it a better choice for VM data centers.
4. Power and density is another major issue which drive data center costs that must be given consideration when reviewing servers. Reply
don_k - Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - linkWould like to see some non-windows VM benchmarks as well as a different virtualisation application used and by extension an SQL server that does not come from microsoft. Also would like to see benchmarks on para-virtualised VMs along with full hardware virtualised VMs.
The review as is is quite meaningless to anyone that does not run windows VMs and/or does not use VMware.
You do have oracle on a windows VM so maybe oracle on a solaris/bsd VM as well as oracle on a linux para-virtualised guest.
There is also no mention of how, if at all, the VMs were optimised for the workloads they are running. In particular and most importantly how are the DBs using the disks? Where is the data and where are the logs? How are the disks passed on to the VM (local file, separate partition, virtual volume, full access to one/more drives etc etc).
Way too many variables to make any kind of an accurate conclusion in my opinion. Reply

2 sockets =~ 153GHz

Like the T1, the T2 supports the Hyper-Privileged execution mode. The SPARC Hypervisor runs in this mode and can partition a T2 system into 64 Logical Domains, and a two-way SMP T2 Plus system into 128 Logical Domains, each of which can run an independent operating system instance.
why SUN did not dominate the world in 2007 when it launched the T2? Besides the two 10G Ethernet builtin processor they had the most advanced architecture that I know, see in

don_k - Thursday, August 12, 2010 - link"why SUN did not dominate the world in 2007 when it launched the T2?"
Because it's not actually that good :) My company bought a few T2s and after about a week of benchmarking and testing it was obvious that they are very very slow. Sure you get lots and lots of threads but each of those threads is oh so very slow. You would not _want_ to run 128 instances of solaris, one on each thread, because each of those instances would be virtually unusable.
We used them as webservers.. good for that. Or file servers that you don't need to do any cpu intensive work.
The theory is fine and all but you obviously have never used a T2 or you would not be wondering why it failed. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, August 12, 2010 - link"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T2
2 sockets =~ 153GHz
4 sockets =~ 306GHz"
You are multiplying threads times clockspeed. IIRC, the T2 is a finegrained multithread CPU where 8 (!!) threads share two pipelines of *one* core.
Compare that with the Nehalem core where 2 threads share 4 "pipelines" (sustained decode/issue/execution/retire) per cycle. So basically, a dual socket T2 is nothing more than 16 relatively weak cores which can execute 2 instructions per clockcycle at the most, or 32 instructions per cycle. The only advantage of having 8 threads per core is that (with enough indepedent software threads) the T2 is able to come relatively close to that kind of throughput.
A dual six-core Xeon has a maximum throughput of 12 cores x 4 instructions or 48 instructions per cycle. As the Xeon has only 2 threads per core, it is less likely that the CPU will ever come close to that kind of output (in business apps). On the other hand, it performs excellent when you have some amount of dependent threads, or simply not enough threads in parallel. The T2 will only perform well if you have enough independent threads. Reply
duploxxx - Thursday, September 02, 2010 - linkLooking at the differences between olap/oltp and web it is very clear that this web based test:
The MCS eFMS portal, a real-world facility management web application, has been discussed in detail here. It is a complex IIS, PHP, and FastCGI site running on top of Windows 2003 R2 32-bit. Note that these two VMs run in a 32-bit guest OS, which impacts the VM monitor mode. We left this application running on Windows 2003, as virtualization allows you to minimize costs by avoiding unnecessary upgrades. We use three MCS VMs, as web servers are more numerous than database servers in most setups. Each VM gets two vCPUs and 2GB of RAM space.
is really in favor of intel cpu's this makes actually the final result a bit out of order....
database wise it would actually mean that you can order a L5640 or 6136 and you will have about the same virtualization performance, this means that it is only due to the web based vm behavior and results that you get such a difference. I think it is clear that although the vApus is a nice benchmark it should be enhanced more with different kinds of applications, the web based solution is providing in the end a wrong total conclusion.

Incorporating Stretching Into Your Everyday Routine: Q&A With Bobby Flay's Stretching Coachby Joseph Erdos in Uncategorized, January 23, 2013
Bobby Flay manages to stay fit and healthy even with a busy lifestyle as a chef, and he's eager to share his healthy eating and fitness plan with fans in a seven-part Web series, Bobby Flay Fit.
In Episode 2 of Bobby Flay Fit, Harold L. Raschke-Robinson, Bobby's stretching coach, helps Bobby stretch, which is an important part of any exercise routine.
Healthy Eats caught up with Harold to talk more about stretching and how it can help you re-energize and cope with stress, whether you're an athlete or not.
Why should we stretch?
Harold L. Raschke-Robinson: It's the best way to get the stress out of our muscles. It doesn't matter if you've worked out or not. Stretching is beneficial at all times of the day — it puts energy back into our soul.
How many times a day should we stretch? What's the goal of stretching?
HLRR: I'd recommend stretching in the morning, at night, and during the course of the day when you feel it's necessary, for about 15 minutes each time if you can. It's great to start the day with a 15-minute stretch. It energizes the body and mind. After a day of work the body has accumulated a lot of stress. Stretching at night will help you sleep better.
The goals of stretching are to relieve pain, prevent injury, promote faster recovery and increase blood circulation. Any stretching routine is key to delaying the onset of muscle soreness.
Is it better to stretch before or after exercising, or even both?
HLRR: That's based on what type of workout you will be doing. I recommend stretching before an intense workout to wake up the muscles for what is to come. Stretching after any type of workout is a must to reduce the buildup of lactic acid, which causes muscle soreness.
What's the easiest, simplest stretch for a beginner to do?
HLRR: The first stretch that I recommend is a standing quad stretch. Face a wall placing your right hand on the wall for support, then bend your left knee bringing your heel to your butt, then reach back with your left hand and grab the ankle. Keep your body upright with your shoulders squared. You will feel the stretch in your left front quad muscle. Breath and count slowly to 15 seconds, then switch legs. Do three repetitions per leg.
The second stretch that I would recommend is called a seated leg extension stretch. Sit up tall in a chair. While the left foot stays on the ground, lift and extend the right leg until it is parallel with the ground. Hold the leg up 15 to 30 seconds, then release and repeat three times for each leg.
What's the best stretch to relieve stress at work?
HLRR: While sitting in a chair you want to reach for the sky as far up as you can. This is going to stretch your chest, back and arm muscles, which hold most of the stress and tension from doing office work. I would say to do this exercise two to three times a day, especially when you have been sitting for a long time working at your desk.
Besides stretching, what's another way to recover after a workout?
HLRR: To recover your tired muscles, it helps to schedule a sports massage or to sit in a hot-water bath. This helps to increase blood circulation, which prevents the buildup of lactic acid.
The stretches that you did with Bobby seemed very specialized. What were they?
HLRR: Those were active isolation stretches. They are best when done with a trainer or through a group exercise class where someone can lead you through the stretches.
