Kinetic Sculpture
This course explores contemporary time-based art through basic techniques of movement and kinetics. Various methods of motion are explored, including mechanical devices and motors, natural sources such as wind, and manual or man-driven operations. Demonstrations provide the technical and material expertise necessary to complete related projects such as automaton, flying machines, and self-destructing devices. Discussions and slide lectures will focus on examples of kinetic art through recent art history, with emphasis on conceptual and visual concerns of moving objects; not just how they function physically, but how they are interpreted in the context of our fast-paced, post-industrial culture. Course may be taken or repeated at the 300 level with advanced expectations and consent of instructor. Not offered pass/fail. No previous experience necessary.

Pocket white-LED torch is power efficient
|Click here to download a PDF
This Design Idea describes a single white-LED torch, which can be housed in an empty glue-stick tube and has a long rechargeable-battery life. The circuit is constructed with just a few commonly available parts. This torch has proven to be highly durable; the prototype model constructed by the author has been in service for nearly five years and is still in good working condition.
A single 1.2V/2500-mAhr nickel-cadmium cell powers the torch (Figure 1). A simple transistorized boost switcher based on a tapped inductor is used to increase the voltage efficiently (up to approximately 80%) to the voltage needed for a typical white LED1—in this case, about 3V. Q1 and Q2 form an astable multivibrator producing rectangular waveforms at their collectors that are 180° out of phase.
Figure 1 An inductive voltage booster powers the white LED.
Assume that at power-up, Q2 is off and Q1 is on. Under these conditions and with Q2's collector high, Q3 is turned on via Q2's collector resistor. With Q3 on, current flows through the first half of the inductor (from terminals 1 to 2).
At the end of this first half-cycle of operation, the multivibrator flips to the other state: Q2 turns on and Q1 turns off, and its collector goes high. Q3 is switched off; Q4 and Q5 are switched on via Q1's collector resistor. The decaying inductor current now flows through terminals 1 and 3. Since L1-2 is equal to L2-3, and since they are on a common core, the inductance of L1-3 is four times that of L1-2 and L2-3. This increased inductance (and the corresponding additional turns on the core) leads to a reduction in the magnitude of the current but an increase in voltage across the LED. During this phase, current flows through the LED and, simultaneously, the 10-μF capacitor is charged. This phase lasts for a time period determined by the RC values in the astable circuit.
Once the RC time constant passes, the process repeats: Q1 turns on, Q2 turns off, and the other transistors switch as previously described. The current through terminals 1 and 2 of the coil again increases, storing energy from the battery in the inductor. During this phase, the 10-μF capacitor powers the LED.
Figure 3 The white-LED torch can be assembled inside an empty glue-stick tube.

Football, Volleyball, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball and Women's Hockey Tickets
UND students receive free tickets to regular season home games for football, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball and women's hockey. Tickets are first come, first serve and are limited to the size of the student section for each sport. Students must present a valid UND student U Card to the box office to receive a ticket and admission to the game. Once the allotment of free student tickets is gone, students can purchase a reserved general public ticket at a discounted rate. Students are only allowed one student ticket.
Starting two weeks prior to the game, tickets will be available at the Student Ticket Office at the Memorial Union & the UND/REA Box Office during regular business hours. If any student tickets remain on game day, they will be available at the respective facility box offices.
Men's Hockey Tickets
UND students have the option to purchase a season ticket package or single game tickets for Men's Hockey. For season ticket packages and single game tickets when the students are on campus, the tickets need to be purchased online using your Green & White Account and will be pre-loaded onto your UND student U Card at the time of purchase. Your UND student U Card will serve as your admission to the game. For single game tickets when students are not on campus (holiday/semester breaks) and exhibition games a hard ticket will be issued (students will still need their UND student U Card to get into the game). Students are only allowed one ticket per event.
Season Tickets
Season ticket lottery dates: September 27-28
Student season men's hockey tickets only include games during the time when students are on campus with the exception of exhibition games. The tickets must be purchased online through the Green & White Account. Each class will have a designated day & time to purchase their allotment of student season tickets. If any packages remain at the end of the session, they will roll over to the next session and be available to the next class of students.
Class status is determined by total credit hours, not years enrolled at UND. Be sure to check your UND academic records to ensure that your class status is correct. It is necessary that you are a registered student by September 1 in order to get into the system for the ticket on-sale.
Student season ticket package options are as follows
- Friday & Saturday package - $140 (16 total games)
- Friday only package - $80
- Saturday only package - $80
* We encourage you to buy single game tickets if you do not expect to go to every game (or sell/forward your tickets through your Green & White Account).

NoDak Nation Perfect Attendance
As a NoDak Nation member, if you have perfect attendance and check-in at all home student* men's hockey games, you will have the opportunity to pre-purchase your student season tickets for the following season. Members must check-in prior to the start of the second period at the NoDak Nation table located between sections 108 and 109. Students check in using their student ID's. For more information on NoDak Nation please visit the Student Ticket Office in Memorial Union or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
*does not include attendance for games played during school holidays and exhibitions
- Log onto your GREEN & WHITE ACCOUNT
- If you don't know your password, you will have to click on the "Forgot my password" link and have it emailed to you.
- Once on the account, you will then be able to begin your purchasing. It is important to remember you may only have 1 TICKET PER EVENT! There will be no refunds issued for double purchases, but you will lose the ticket. This includes season ticket holders as well - if you have a season ticket for Friday, you MAY NOT purchase single game tickets for any Friday games!
- Make sure that you have a Visa or Mastercard ready for purchasing.
- Save or print out your confirmation/receipt.
- If you have received a new student U Card since purchasing tickets and you are planning on going to a Men's Hockey game, you will need to visit the box office located at the Ralph Engelstad Arena to update your card. We suggest doing this prior to a game day as it will slow your admittance to the game
- If you have received either a forwarded ticket or you have purchased a ticket from another student, you may have printed out what looks like a ticket, THIS IS NOT YOUR TICKET, but just a confirmation. The printed out confirmation WILL NOT ALLOW YOU ACCESS to the game this weekend. The only way to enter the game is by using your U Card that contains the ticket.
If you are receiving an error message when accepting your forwarded tickets, please make sure that you have entered an address and a phone number in your Green & White Account. Just do this by going under "Account Settings" and entering the required information. Also, the only email that will allow you to successfully use your ticket is your @UND.edu email address. Use of other emails will appear as though you received forwarded tickets, but are not tied to your U Card & you will not be able to enter the game. U Card is the ONLY acceptable way to gain entrance to the games.Fees
Small fees apply when selling and purchasing tickets through the Green & White Account. All fees are paid directly to Ticketmaster, the service provider for the Green & White Account. There are NO fees for forwarding a ticket you can't use to another UND student.
Sell tickets - get cash!
When you sell your ticket through your Green & White Account, you may pick-up your payment beginning the following business day at the Ralph Engelstad Arena Box Office. Cash from the 2016-17 season must be picked up by April 30, 2017.
U Card Information
Your U card is your ticket to UND Men's Hockey. It is very important that you have a current readable UND student U Card. If you are in need of or are unsure if you have a current readable UND student U Card please contact the U Card office at 701.777.2071 or stop by their office in the lower level of Memorial Union.
Student Tickets are available for use to current UND students only. Failure to show a valid UND student ID upon entry to a game will result in the forfeit of the ticket. If you attempt to sell your student tickets to a non-UND student, your tickets and ticket privileges will be removed without refund.

WEST Mercia Police has been praised by a leading officer for being alert to the growing threat of cyber crime.
Superintendent Pete O'Doherty, the head of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, has welcomed the force's major cyber crime conference and workshop to increase public awareness and to develop partnership working to tackle internet fraudsters.
The conference is being hosted by Coventry University on Friday (May 23) and is sponsored by Warwickshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Ron Ball.
Supt O'Doherty said: "This is the kind of initiative which in the long run will help us win the battle against cyber criminals. From what I see day in day out, cyber crime is rapidly increasing, both in volume and in complexity. It is evolving at a rapid pace."
Supt O'Doherty said up to 70 per cent of frauds can be cyber-enabled compared to around 40 per cent five or so years ago.
He added: "Cyber fraud has been described as the modern-day burglary because you don't have to be in someone's home to steal from them. Fraudsters can strike from anywhere in the world. It's a global threat."
Cyber crime is now estimated to cost Britain £27 billion a year with online shopping and auction scams, advanced fee frauds, online bank account cons and investment scams among the top "volume frauds".
Extra funding is being given to police forces for specialist investigators and police forces like Warwickshire and West Mercia are working with interested partners to tackle the problem.

466 — By Capt. Bill Pike
March 2001
Best Of The Midwest
|The essence of Carver's 466 Motor Yacht? Luxury, craftsmenship, and heartland attention to detail.
My first years of commercial seafaring were spent sailing the Great Lakes
on ore carriers. After hitting all sorts of ports for a couple of years,
from the taconite docks of Duluth to the grain wharves of Sept Iles, I
was constrained to conclude that Midwestern cities and towns were alike
in at least one respect: They were invariably jam-packed with highly skilled
people, most possessing a work ethic that would put Puritans to shame.
Whether one of the ships I was working on needed new stanchions welded
in Saginaw or radar repairs in Superior, it seemed there were always plenty
of shoreside folks around who could do the work, do it fast, and do it

The two main features of amnesia are:
Most people with amnesia have problems with short-term memory — they can't retain new information. Recent memories are most likely to be lost, while more remote or deeply ingrained memories may be spared. Someone may recall experiences from childhood or know the names of past presidents, but not be able to name the current president or remember what month it is or what was for breakfast.
Isolated memory loss doesn't affect a person's intelligence, general knowledge, awareness, attention span, judgment, personality or identity. People with amnesia usually can understand written and spoken words and can learn skills such as bike riding or piano playing. They may understand they have a memory disorder.
Amnesia isn't the same as dementia. Dementia often includes memory loss, but it also involves other significant cognitive problems that lead to a decline in the ability to carry out daily activities.
A pattern of forgetfulness is also a common symptom of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), but the memory and other cognitive problems in MCI aren't as severe as those experienced in dementia.
Depending on the cause of the amnesia, other signs and symptoms may include:
Anyone who experiences unexplained memory loss, head injury, confusion or disorientation requires immediate medical attention.
A person with amnesia may not be able to identify his or her location or have the presence of mind to seek medical care. If someone you know has symptoms of amnesia, help the person get medical attention.

DETROIT - Gov. Rick Snyder says he's at least a week away from deciding if Detroit needs an emergency manager to confront its $327 million budget deficit and $14 billion long-term debt.
He held a news conference Thursday to discuss the Detroit Financial Review Team report which was released Tuesday.
The team's report stated the city is under a financial emergency.
During the press conference, Snyder said he wouldn't announce any decisions on an emergency manager. He only discussed the report.
Snyder said he didn't want to spend time blaming others for the cause of the problem. He said financial issues have been on-going in the city since 1950, when Detroit started to see a population decline.
Detroit had 1.8 million people in the 1950 U.S. Census and about 700,000 in 2010. Snyder says new growth holds the key to Detroit's recovery.
Since 2004, Detroit has had a negative balance in the general fund, he said.
Watch: How would Detroit EFM affect mayoral race ?
Snyder disagreed with how accounting is handled in the city. Detroit has been listing money borrowed as revenue, a bad practice according to Snyder.
While showing a chart, he said 30 percent of city revenue is needed to pay down legacy liabilities on the current path.

"This isn't just about balancing the books, it's about improving services for citizens in Detroit," said Snyder. "We need to grow the city of Detroit and it's going to be really hard."
Snyder has 30 days to make a decision and announce a plan moving forward. That plan could include the appointment of an emergency financial manager in Detroit.
He said will make his decision as soon as next week, however the process may take several weeks after that.
If an EFM is chosen, the name of the candidate may not be known until March. Sources say he has been interviewing top candidates for the past six weeks.

maximumGPU - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkGreat review.
It doesn't seem to perform a lot better than the AIR 540, not at the same noise levels at least.
So taking into account all the quirks and the high price wouldn't that make the 540 immediately the better choice? Reply
meacupla - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkAIR 540 is not without its own set of faults.
One gripe I would have, if I were to buy it, is that it has no mounting holes for caster wheels, which is kind of essential for a cube case that you can load a ton of hardware into.
And another is why are the 5.25 bays vertical?
I wonder why silverstone didn't go for an updated FT02 design? That case was extremely well thought out and only needed minor tweaks for E-ATX, 8x PCI slots and more HDD racks. Reply
1Angelreloaded - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkThe 540 Air isn't large enough for casters, this isn't a 2x2x2 foot cube like a UFO from MM, and you are right about the 5.25 bays but if you are wiling to do a little leg work and Mod the case you will find it is simply amazing. Start by turning it on it's side, window up, if you need casters attach them to the bottom or what used to be the side panel, well you have a start at least. Reply
meacupla - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkYou must be thinking of large casters...
I've fitted 2" plate casters on my fractal define define mini and it doesn't tip over, despite its small footprint. Reply
Samus - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkIt still seems like the FT01 is still their best "regular" case, which I believe was their first positive-pressure case which really made them stand out as a manufacturer. It was basic, and had some flaws (like no back-plate access on the motherboard tray, and no good implementation for SSD/2.5" drives) but it wasn't overengineered like the newer cases...I mean the story with this FT04's door is ridiculous.
But if you ask me, the FT03-mini is the best computer case ever made. You could pack the most powerful consumer-class CPU, a 550-watt SFX PSU, a GTX 770, optical drive, water cooling and an SSD + 2GB 2.5" + 4GB 3.5" hard drive inside a case less than 2 sq.ft. big. Reply
kwrzesien - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkIt's funny, I have a FT01 (Silver - and I love it) and have recently considered the FT03 and FT03-mini for a small aesthetic build to go in the home study / office sitting on a full-wall built-in cabinet and shelving system. It's not too deep but there is plenty of height which fails most cases. And you're right, you can put everything you need in that little case and it even hides the back (top) cable connections, problem solved! Reply
althaz - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkNo, the FT02 (with USB 3) is their best case. In fact, it's THE best case. Ever.
I may be biased because I'm somewhat in love with it (it's the case my current PC resides in), but it's silent, performs superbly, looks good and makes life incredibly easy (the back of the motherboard points to the top of the case, so it's super-convenient to plug/unplug things). Reply
GokieKS - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkIf the FT-02 didn't have the issue with non-blower GPU HSFs and optical drives in top 5.25" bay blocking PCI/e slots, I might agree with you. I also wish it was all aluminum and thus lighter, but that's a more minor quibble. Reply
althaz - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI haven't used a non-blower GPU for years. I'd forgotten there was an issue with the top 5 1/4" bay.
That said, I didn't say it was perfect (it's still my favourite), it needs:
More space behind the motherboard, more than one hot-swap bay (all the 3.5" bays should be hot-swapable), should be easier to assemble and...actually, that's about all I'd change. Reply
maximumGPU - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkit doesn't exactly have an issue with non-blower GPU, it's just that it performs best with blower style.
My current GPU in an FT02 has a non- blower heatsink, yet temps are great. Reply
GokieKS - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkAs someone whose primary desktop workstation is housed in an FT-03 Mini and whose gaming PC is in an FT-01, I sort of agree with you. I love both of them to death, but there are way too many quirks to building a system with the FT-03 Mini for it to be the best case ever made. All those components you listed? You *might* be able to stuff all of them into the case, but you will have to choose the components very carefully, and more likely than not make some slight modifications to the case to get it all to fit, and all the while probably cursing somebody (either SilverStone or yourself) because there is next to no chance you will get everything installed properly on the first try. Even my fairly simple (no dGPU, no ODD, H60i CLC, 1 SSD and 1 3.5" HDD) build required way more time, effort, and fiddling than any other computer I've ever built - and I've been doing it for 15 years.
But will all that said, I wouldn't trade it for anything else - unless they update the mATX FT-03 to remove the plastic air vent which mars the otherwise beautiful design. Reply
kkwst2 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkYeah, I looked at the FT-03 and the Mini, but decided there were too many compromises. I settled on the tj08-e and have been extremely pleased. Took a bit more time and planning than a large case, but was able to get an SSD and 2 3.5 HDD in easily. Certainly not as distinctive as the FT03, but that's not really my thing. But I do appreciate the compact tj08. Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkFirst of all, thanks for doing this review - it was incredibly frustrating to have nothing written in English on the FT04 even a month after its public release.
You mentioned the bottom of the front door snagging on carpets and your photo backdrop. Does this still take place if the case is on a smooth surface like a desk? Like many other users, I run my PC on a desk, so if it works OK there this isn't a deal-breaker.
I said this before on the RV04 review, but I think your mediocre performance on the single-GPU test was due to using an inappropriate graphics card. I understand you need a consistent test bed system, but the ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP is about the worst card design possible for a direct airflow case: it has fins running perpendicular to the flow direction. Many newer DirectCU cards have the fins parallel to the long side of the card, and I suspect this would give substantially lower temperatures. An even better choice might be the Arctic Accelero S1 Plus aftermarket cooler; it has widely spaced fins which run the right way for direct airflow, and can be run fanless. I strongly suspect a FT04 or RV04 could handle a card with up to 150W TDP, maybe even more, using just the Accelero S1 Plus and the intake fans, with no dedicated GPU fan. I'll post again if I get a chance to test this. It's important to remember you are building a system, not just throwing together a collection of miscellaneous parts. There should be some synergy in your build.
Regarding the difficulty of assembly - I have a hard time really caring too much. I suspect this looms larger for testers than for actual enthusiasts, because testers have to build and unbuild all the time! If I get excellent thermals and acoustics, and the fit/finish/appearance is satisfactory, then I don't really care if I scrape a few knuckles during the build. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkEase of assembly is probably a lot more of a spectrum than an either or. While it's not a major concern for a box that I'll probably only swap GPUs and possibly SSDs over its 4 year life; given the choice between two cases with similar performance, pricing, and acceptable aesthetics I'll probably go for the one I don't swear at.
For systems I build for friends/family not swearing at it while I'm working is a more important consideration. Boutique system builders probably put ease of assembly high on their list of criteria for picking a case.
And lastly, especially for higher end cases, there's an element of "if they screwed up one thing (ease of build), what other surprises am I going to run into later". For $200+ I expect the manufacturer to get everything right; when spending that much there really shouldn't be any compromises. Cheaper cases get more slack since on a budget system something has to give. Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkI agree that such things are less forgivable at a $230 price point than at $110, but it seems to me that *all* cases involve compromises. I'm not sure there is such a thing as a perfect case on the market at *any* price. A case that's excellent for air-cooling (the FT02, for instance) will be only mediocre on water, and sometimes vice-versa. A massive full tower won't appeal to someone trying to build a compact system. Reply
RdVi - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkMine does not scrub the door on a flat surface.
I agree that ease of assembly doesn't bother me a lot. Yes, it soured the process a little, but while I have a fair amount of experience, I have to concede that I'm just not good with fiddly things so most others interested in this case will probably find it easier than me. However, on the other end of the spectrum, I reworked the cabling once the build was complete due to buying a new PSU, turning the case on its side and then upright was somewhat of a challenge - it's heavy. Not that I struggled too much, but I did worry about not doing it right. And you had to hold the damn door shut every time you did.
As for the fit and finish, on my black model the only disappointment was the colour difference between the door and the top. I have to say that I don't really notice it so much now, and if you have the case on a desk, you won't see it when you're sitting anyway. It's not that bad, but I didn't expect there to be any difference between those two pieces. The plastic vents I expected to be different and luckily they actually look a bit better than I was bracing myself for, they don't stand out as being too different to the door or side panel to me. Reply
arthur449 - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkI feel like, in the past, SilverStone has gone from a adapting a larger case to smaller cases (FT02 -> FT03), but in this situation they started with a smaller case (TJ08 / PS07) and tried to stretch it to a larger one. Reply
Ubercake - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkEven though I like a lot of things Silverstone does with their case designs, this seems to be a step back. An exhaust fan at the bottom? If not, the only exhaust appears to be through the top-mounted PSU hovering just above GPU2.
I like the reverse design only when there are fans blowing up from the bottom like in other Silverstone cases. Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkThere is no bottom-mounted fan. I think the idea is that since the front fans have high static pressure, the hot air will be expelled out the vents in the back without needing an additional active cooler. But you could mount a 120mm fan on the back vent if you didn't trust that. Silverstone claims on their FAQ for this case that adding a 120mm fan increases CPU cooling performance, but actually makes the GPU run hotter. We don't know what they tested with, though. Reply
pdjblum - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkJust do not get why you refuse to list the materials in the specification table? It is nice to know if it is all aluminium, all steel, steel and aluminium, steel and plastic, and so on. It is not fun hunting around the prose trying to sort it out. I just don't get how the material is not a critical specification. Reply
koshling - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkGlad I gave up waiting about 6 weeks ago and bought an FT02 (which rocks) Reply
GokieKS - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkI've been a huge fan of SilverStone's cases for about as long as the company has existed, as I was a big fan of Cooler Master's ATCS cases prior too. But this really doesn't do much for me, in either aesthetics (which I believe SS to do better than just about anyone else in the industry) or features - it's the first case from the Fortress line that I haven't loved from the moment I laid eyes on it.
What I really wish SilverStone would make is an updated version of the FT-01. The single-piece extruded aluminum design of the TJ-07/FT-01 still looks great today, cooling performance is quite good, and I dearly love mine and continue to use it despite it missing some features that are commonplace nowadays (CPU cutout, proper cable routing holes, USB 3.0 front ports, etc.) If they just released a new version with the features that you expect all decent cases to have in 2013, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

bobbozzo - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkHi, it is difficult to tell from the pictures if the front intakes are filtered; please state whether they are or not in all case reviews.
Thanks! Reply
bobbozzo - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkISTM that a case this expensive should either come with PWM fans, or have another model available with them. Spending another $25 - $50 to buy a couple PWM Nexus or Noctua fans makes this even more expensive. Reply
bobbozzo - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkI should point out that many of the Noctuas come as a kit with multiple connection options in case you don't have any available PWM motherboard connectors, so SS could actually sell a single model for PWM / non-PWM. Reply
Touche - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkUgh, this looks like such a mess. FT02 wasn't perfect but it had a lot positive points, but the new series is bad to mediocre in most of things.
Any plans on reviewing Fractal Define R4 and/or XL R2? Reply
Touche - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkSorry, R4 was reviewed. Reply
Touche - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkDoh, both are reviewed. Why isn't the R2 in the graphs? Reply
genghisquan - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkYES! I wish Silverstone would've improved the FT02/RV02 while keeping the essential layout and design...instead of making this 4th series. Reply
genghisquan - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkIn terms of air cooling, their RV02 & FT02 are the best. These new RV/FT04 don't beat their predecessors. Even if the 4th series cases had as good of a cooling ability as their 2nd series, the layout of the 4th series aren't as neat and organized. Although the FT02 can fit more HDD/SSD, the placement of the drive cages is messy and inelegant. Reply
dealova - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkAll above benchmarks, is lower BETTER ? Reply
cjs150 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkSS have made cases that are brilliant for water cooling: TJ07 was king for big cases and TJ08 is very good for M-ATX cases.
This also looks to hae real WC potential. Could the Front take a 2x180 radiator (yes they do exist), you might lose the bottom 5.25" bay but so what, that would cool a lot of hardware (2x180 is about 10-12% larger cooling surface than a 4x120 radiator) Reply
rpg1966 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkInstead of separate temp and noise charts, can you please show a simple scatter chart with (say) temps on X and noise levels on Y, so that we can easily see the trade-offs each case has made? Reply
Touche - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThis. Fan speeds would also be nice.
And your noise floor of 30 dB is way too high. It makes really quiet cases look worse than they are because they score the same as noisier ones that cool a bit better. Reply
7amood - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkGuys, remember that this case is much smaller than FT01, 02 and I also think it is smaller than FT03.
I think I will remove the hinges and make the front panel an easily removable panel. What's the name of this small plastic tool that makes easily removable panels attachable and detachable?? Reply
meacupla - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI think you might be confusing another case.
FT03 is an mATX case with extremely small footprint. It's about 1/3 the volumetric size of FT04 Reply
7amood - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkOMG >.< you are right
I ment to compare it with the RV not FT.

What a difference that makes in image quality. Can we not just have this original image linked to directly from the images in the article? Reply
RdVi - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI built a system using the FT04 around 3 weeks ago and have to agree. Now that it's done, it's marvellous. The building process was a pain though.
The door for me isn't a problem since the case is sitting on a timber floor. It muffles the noise well and feels solid. I hardly ever change the fan speed or use the ODD so the door makes sense more so now than any other case I've had in the past (for example, Antec 1200... you had to open the door to get to the power button(!) and I used ODD drives all the time back then). However, in building the thing on a side surface, the door was annoying. I couldn't open it standing up, but whenever I turned the case onto it's side the door would fling open.
The SSD drives were the worst for me - simply because of the connectors. You can't use a 90 degree sata header, which is all I had... so I had to plug the 90 degree end into the motherboard (blocking off another port) and use the flat side to go into the drive. Even then, it had to bend up to clear the sound deadening foam... the same with the power connector. I unded up stripping the foam back in that area, but both connectors are still being pushed upward slightly. This is because I used a 7mm drive (Sandisk Extreme II). Keep this in mind if you're using a slimmer SSD. The solution would be to make up a spacer and use longer screws. My drive came with a spacer, but it only had DS tape on one side of it and I didn't have longer screws so I couldn't use it. Also, reaching the SSD drive with a power connector was a bit of a stretch for me, I had to use the power connector with 5 sata connectors.... just to connect one drive at the very end of it and no wiggle room to maneuver another connector to connect to the adjacent (in the other bay) 3.5" drive (I ended up using the hot swap cable).
The holes above the expansions slots didn't annoy me at all. I found it far better than my old case that had a protruding support (not so much, though) and no holes, but used thumb screws as the solution. I still felt like I had to get those screws tight. The FT04 was great for installing expansion card.
I took out the larger 3.5" drive bay, as well as the plastic cable routing shroud in front of the top fan. The shroud was odd - I had to remove the fan and then unscrew the tiny screws, one of which was cross threaded and will not be able to be put back in. I just didn't like the idea of restricting and channelling the fan when I have more than enough options to get the cables out of the way already.
All in all I had a few things I had to do twice... I originally wanted to put the SSD at the front, closest to the fans so I could see it and have the bay below the CPU cooler in place so I could use the brace. The brace didn't seem necessary in the end and to have the SSD facing upright so the logo wasn't upside-down (ok, so I'm a bit OCD) meant the connectors would foul on the fan. So I had to swap that around with the 3.5" drive at the front.
Anyway, it's done and works great and is nicely silent. My only gripes?
- I didn't really want a window case... but that's ok, the acrylic seems thick enough to not sacrifice noise and I have put the case on the right side of underneath my desk - the window faces the solid desk side.
- I honestly find the 180mm fans too noisy at anything over 20% of max - so don't ever bother adjusting them. My CPU and exhaust fan are pwm controlled, and in testing, I have to move the speed up a lot before they will spin less. It's moot by that point since they're much louder than the 120mm pwn fans.
- My 3.5" HDD often rattles in the bottom hot swap bay.... There's padding in the big drive bay, but none in the bottom. I'll have to come up with something to stop the vibration which seems tricky since there's not much free space on the sides between the drive and the bay. It's only a 5400rpm 3TB WD green... also.
- With the case on the floor, the PSU fan is fairly exposed compared to the rest. If you have a loud PSU, you might hear it over everything else. I was trying to recycle my 5 year old corsair HX1000 only to find that the fan had a slight tick. I didn't even notice it in my noisy old build, but much of this was because the PSU was at the bottom of the case drawing air from underneath through a fine filter. The filters in the FT04 are very open, which is great for maintenance and cooling, but that along with the PSU fan facing the top, made any noise noticeable to me. I got a Seasonic XP-660 Plat with hybrid fan mode... it's never turned on the fan even with 1hr of Prime95 and furmark simultaneously. Excellent PSU.
I hope someone got something out of this, since I had to basically buy this case blind after waiting months for reviews in english. If anyone looking to buy has any questions, feel free to ask. It's a brilliant case once setup - provided the the door isn't on a soft surface and you have to open it a lot. Reply
maximumGPU - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThat was helpful, thanks!
i was debating whether i should get this as an upgrade from the FT02, and i was waiting for the ATech review. and i agree that silverstone's 180 mm fan have epic cooling but are have a disappointing sound profile. Wish some competitor would produce better similar sized fans.
i think i'll stick with the FT02 for a few more years now. Reply
JDG1980 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThanks for the information - I'm considering a FT04 and this was really helpful. Just to clarify, in your experience, the front door won't snag if the case is on a hard, level surface?
It's disappointing to hear that the SSD mounts give too little space for cable routing with 7mm-thick drives, considering that most newer SSDs are this thickness. Getting rubber spacers and longer screws shouldn't be too hard, but it really ought to have been included in a case this expensive.
The HDD rattling bothers me more than anything else I've heard so far... most other premium cases in the last 3 to 5 years have proper grommets/damping for HDDs, so this seems like a major step back.
Do you think the cross-threaded screw on the plastic cable shroud was a quality control issue, or intentional?
For my build, I had planned on using one SSD (for a boot drive) and one large HDD, the latter to eventually be removed when I can afford a decent NAS. I intended to remove all the drive cages except the one with the CPU cooler support (since I always get nervous with large tower coolers in a tower case). I wonder if removing the hot-swap backplane and mounting the HDD in a fixed location would remove the vibration. Reply
RdVi - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkYes, for me the door has never scrubbed on a flat surface. The outer edges of the middle concave face clear the ground by about 2-3mm at the bottom.
As for the SSD, I think the one they used in this review would have been 9.5mm, thus, no issues. However, opening up my case an having another look I can see that it was mainly the power cable that was the problem. With my HX1000 I found using the second from the end connector on a chain of 5 meant the cables could be bent straight out from the connector easily. With my Seasonic, all cables are are bit less forgiving, and the second last connector wouldn't reach anyway. The last one has a hard down 90 degree angle with no wriggle room. I just had to peel back the foam and wedge it in. It's tilted upward by about 2mm above the sata connector (which looks flat). Hey... it's working for now and let's just hope the power connector on the drive remains ok when I remove it down the road. Really, you definitely should space the drive, I just wanted it done for now.
The 3.5" drive is not fixed properly in the cage using either of the hot swap bays (only one has hot swap capability).... There are no holes to screw it into place, just metal tabs on the sides near the back, but the front is still a little bit free to move. On the hot swap one without the CPU support, there is also a protruding wide metal tab on the top. I put the hot swap belt (used to pull out the drive?) over the top of the drive so this would press down on it and in turn the drive. The front has a latch with a plastic header that comes down in front of the drive to stop it sliding out of the bay, but this doesn't do much. Initially the sound was worse than it is now. I secured that latch by screwing it tight and now the HDD just has that churn/grind sound when loading. On my past case where the drive was suspended by elastic chords, there was no noticeable sound. I'm thinking I might just wedge some thin foam or rubber into the front of the bay between the drives sides and the bay.
The cross threaded screw was an oddity. The hole was actually screwed out to a larger size which I assume is the same size as the fan neighbouring screws. But... within that hole there was a thin ring of remaining metal with the smaller hole drilled out from it. This small hole was the one that seemed to be cross threaded, unsurprisingly since it was within a larger hole. I have no idea how this could happen but I would assume that it's a QC issue and probably won't be on other cases.
There were no instructions in the manual on removing the cable routing plate in front of the top fan or on how to use the hot-swap HDD bays. As for the CPU support, I don't have a large CPU cooler and the wide space and shape of the fins meant that the support just didn't work on my cooler anyway. I am using the GPU support and it does work. My GPU is slightly bent the other way from being in my old case with no support. Now it has the chance to bend back the other way... but not too far thanks to the support.
My build needs were much the same as yours, I definitely did not need the large drive bay and really saw no need to have anything in front of the intake fans. I went with the FT04 because to me the format works a lot better than the FT02. I need maximum desk space and I have a desk which I have removed the side drawers from, so I have a lot of space underneath. Most cases are 550-600+ long, so protrude from under the desk quite a bit due to the centre divider. The FT02 was just too big... hell, before the FT04 came out I considered getting it and turning it on it's back with the top as the new front - since I'd rarely need to use the ODD. The only problem there was cabling not being long enough since it would come out at the bottom of the front. Reply
Sancus - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkYou know, it would be really great if you guys would do a re-test review of the FT02. It would be really interesting to see the full fat numbers for it, as that testbed didn't exist in 2011(the last time you guys reviewed it). It would also get the numbers into the Bench for direct comparison with other modern cases.
Given that it still seems to be a highly competitive case, I think it deserves to have its performance revisited in the context of current builds! Reply

African American Health
African Americans and Skin Cancer -melanoma
Do African Americans suffer from melanoma or other forms of skin cancer caused by sun damage? What percentage of African Americans have melanoma? And is that percentage increasing or decreasing over the years?
There are several types of skin cancer. UV radiation is the most important cause of skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma accounts for 75-80% of all reported cases of skin cancer in whites; squamous cell carcinoma represents 20-25% of all reported skin cancer cases. Persons with fair skin who sunburn easily are more susceptible to developing basal cell carcinoma on sun-exposed areas of their skin.
Basal cell carcinoma occurs less often in people of color. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer in people of color. The melanin pigment in the skin protects the skin from damage by the sun. Skin cancers are considered rare in dark-skinned persons, but African albinos have a high incidence of skin cancers on sun-exposed areas. [I was not able to find a specific figure for the incidence.]
Malignant melanoma of the skin (MMS) is usually considered separately from other skin cancers. The incidence of MMS is increasing dramatically in persons with light-colored skin in all parts of the world. [Elwood JB, Koh HK. Etiology, epidemiology, risk factors, and public health issues of melanoma. Curr Opin Oncol 1994; 6:179.] The death rate for melanoma has doubled in the last 35 years with increases approximately 5% per year in the older white population.
Worldwide, 40% of the cases occur in people of color but in the U.S. melanoma is largely a disease confined to the white population. Again, no specific figures could be found for African Americans. In Sweden, the incidence is approximately 12 cases per 100,000 people whereas in China the incidence is 0.8 cases per 100,000 people.

Did you know?
Every Korean meal is accompanied with a side dish of pickled, fermented vegetables known as kimchi, which is a bit of an acquired taste for the Western palate.
The @Seoul Korean Restaurant is located in Cape Town's busy Sea Point area where it adds another dimension to the multicultural mix on offer in the suburb.
Its drawcard is that diners can participate in cooking their own meal, either the Korean barbecue way on a hot griddle, or as a shabu shabu dish, where paper-thin slices of meat, noodles and vegetables are dipped into a bowl of broth, much like a fondue.
The small restaurant with its plastic tables and unfussy décor is as unpretentious as they come, but the delicious array of dishes (using soy, ginger and peanut oil liberally) are a feast for those who love a bit of variety when dining out.
Korean food is meant to be shared. Diners should select a range of dishes (chicken, beef, seafood and vegetarian) which get spooned up from a central dish and eaten with individual bowls of rice.
Soups and noodles also feature strongly on the menu. Spices used in the preparation of Korean food include red chillies, ginger, garlic, doenjang (fermented soy paste), soy sauce and gochujang (red chilli paste).
Korean food is generally cooked in sesame oil, but @Seoul Korean Restaurant is not averse to a dash of peanut oil, a hint of delicious chili and condiments to make your heart sing.
Specialities include stir-fries, marinated beef served with glass noodles; chicken in spicy chilli paste and pancakes and prawns. The portions are well-sized, and the dumplings, and seafood pancakes are fragrant and delicious.
The spicy tofu soup is a good choice for vegetarians and the spicy BBQ chicken and Korean sweet-and-sour chicken are other popular dishes on the menu. There are also a number of pork dishes, including the spicy potato soup with pork that serves two people.
Dessert is not a major event here, but you could sample the Korean fruit punch and vanilla ice-cream. However, the more authentic way to end the meal would be with a cup of green tea.

I am sure that some of you already know about the National Archives Labs website, but I didn't and think that many of my readers also may have missed out on hearing about the Labs.
The Labs are a test area where the National Archives try improvements and new ideas out and then ask for feedback from those who visit the site. Generally a very interesting site to see what may be coming next at TNA.
One of the sections on the Labs website is the Dixon-Scott Collection which comprises 14,000 photographs taken between 1920 – 1940. This resource can be searched by location and viewed free of charge.
John Dixon-Scott became concerned about the way rural and urban England was changing and not always for the better. He toured England taking photographs of the vanishing landscape so that at least it was preserved in a visual form. If the town or village that your ancestral families lived in are amongst those featured in this collection then you will be able to get a glimpse of a lost way of life.

HOUSTON - The $85 billion in forced spending cuts known as the sequester would nix vaccinations for more than 200,000 American children, including 10,000 in Texas.
The news is disconcerting to expecting parents Tatiana Sanchez and Aaron Mejia. The two are anticipating the birth of a daughter in April, but financial woes are making the couple anxious about the joyous occasion.
"It's stressful. It's too, too stressful," said Mejia.
The family brings in about $2,400 each month and said their Medicaid application was denied.
The parents had to pay out of pocket for two-year-old Aaron, Jr.'s vaccination, which they had put off time and time before.
"It was like almost $400 just for one shot," said Sanchez.
Dr. Richard Rupp, a University of Texas Medical Branch pediatrician with the Sealy Center for Vaccine Development, said he's worried about the toll the cuts could take on families already struggling to provide for their children.
"I don't think that a lot of families will be able to come up with the money to pay for the vaccines," said Rupp.
In Texas alone, 10,000 impoverished and uninsured children would lose access to vaccines, which protect them from diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, meningitis, whooping cough, tetanus and the flu.
"Not only does that put the child at risk for catching these diseases, but the vaccines are required for school attendance and being in daycare or daycare programs that the children benefit from," said Rupp.
The pediatrician said the sequester's effects have become a public health issue.
For families on a shoestring budget, the government belt-tightening creates a spending dilemma for families.
"I care about my son's health, but he still needs food. He still needs clothes which I need to get him. We need to still pay rent," said Sanchez.
The critical research dollars that fund the development of new vaccines are also at risk of being cut.
Medicaid and CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program, are exempt from the cuts.

HOUSTON - A teacher at a Spring Branch Independent School District middle school was fired over an inappropriate relationship with one of her students, according to Duncan F. Klussmann, the Superintendent of Schools.
Kathryn "Camille" Murray, an eighth-grade teacher at Memorial Middle School, was fired Wednesday, according to a statement from Klussmann.
Klussmann said Murray was removed from the classroom after allegations were reported on February 13th.
Details of the allegations were not released.
Murray worked at Memorial Middle School for three years, according to Klussmann.
"The safety of every SBISD student is our very highest priority. We are deeply shocked and outraged by this alleged conduct. We will never tolerate any teacher or other employee who takes advantage of and harms a student. This allegation, if true, represents a complete breach of the trust that our children and our community place in our educators every day. We are saddened by these allegations, and we are very concerned about the well-being of the student and his family," read the statement.
One parent said everyone liked the teacher.
Children's Protective Services, Spring Branch ISD police, and the State Board for Educator Certification are also investigating.
Murray has not been charged.
Counselors will be on hand at the school for the next few days.
If you have more information about this case, call Spring Branch ISD police at 713-984-9805.

Sarah Seegert '08
Spring 2012 TRINITY Magazine, Real World Success
Sarah Seegert '08
Major: Elementary and Special Education
Title: Middle School Teacher at Elim Christian School
Sarah Seegert works with students in a special education classroom. Her students have disabilities in a variety of categories, including autism, cerebral palsy, emotional disorders, and cognitive delay.
Value of college: "Trinity helped prepare me in all ways for my future, from giving me the skills and knowledge that I needed to do my job, to deepening my faith and preparing me for independent adult life. The people I met and the relationships I formed were amazing and still impact my life today. I was given opportunities and experiences that I never would have had otherwise."
Partnering with profs to learn: "What still helps me in my teaching today are the relationships I formed with many Trinity professors. I worked with both Dr. Patti Powell, professor of special education, with Young Authors in Jamaica, and Dr. Joy Meyer, associate professor of education, through the VanderVelde Junior Scholar program. These women showed me how research can greatly impact an educational setting and situation. They provided examples of balancing projects and family and life, while giving God all the glory."
Field experience: "I had teacher aid hours starting in my sophomore year. Before I graduated, I was in a variety of classroom types, in a variety of communities, and all the experiences helped prepare me to become a teacher. I was especially grateful that I was able to student teach at Elim, an organization I had wanted to work for since 7th grade. That helped prepare me for my current job."

LOS ANGELES – After a sluggish start to the lockout-delayed season, the Kings appear to be rounding into playoff form.
Dustin Brown and Jeff Carter scored first-period goals, Trevor Lewis added his first career short-handed goal, and the defending Stanley Cup champions beat the Colorado Avalanche, 4-1, on Saturday for their third consecutive victory.
Anze Kopitar also scored and Jonathan Quick made 23 saves for the Kings, who won for the fifth time in six games after beginning the day 11th in the Western Conference and two points behind the postseason cutoff.
Last season, the Kings became the first team to win the Cup as a No. 8 seed and the first to knock off the conference's top three seeds to reach the Finals.
"We're not giving teams too much time and space to make plays, and not giving up too many shots," center Jarret Stoll said. "We still have to clean up some little defensive zone stuff, but we're not giving up too much, and our goaltending's been good."
Milan Hejduk scored a power-play goal for the Avalanche, which had won five in a row against the Kings, and Semyon Varlamov made 22 saves.
Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, who missed 11 games because of a concussion sustained Jan. 26, returned to action. .
"It was a tough game," said Landeskog, last season's rookie of the year. "L.A. came out hard, and they were strong on the puck, and they made us play in our zone."
The Kings, outscored 18-5 in the first period through their first 15 games, took a 1-0 lead 58 seconds after the opening faceoff. Brown converted a cross-ice pass from Justin Williams for his fifth goal, beating Varlamov to the stick side with a one-timer.
Carter scored his ninth goal and fifth in six games, beating Varlamov low to the stick side with a wrist shot from the slot for a 2-0 lead after Mike Richards found him from the left boards.
The Kings began a 16-game stretch in which they will play 13 times at home. They played eight of their previous nine on the road, going 5-4. … A moment of silence was observed for Jerry Buss, who died Monday at age 80. Buss purchased the Kings, Lakers and the Inglewood Forum from Jack Kent Cooke in 1979, and owned the Kings for nine seasons. … Kings defenseman Drew Doughty is still looking for his first goal after 16 games, his longest drought from the start of a season.

Federal Grant to Restore Galveston Bay Rookery Island
HOUSTON — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a federal grant to Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for a more than $1.2 million project to restore wetlands on North Deer Island, the largest bird rookery island in the Galveston Bay system
The Texas grant was part of more than $15 million in grants to 12 states to help acquire, restore and protect coastal wetlands for long-term conservation benefits to wildlife and habitat under the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program.
North Deer Island in West Galveston Bay is used each year by up to 30,000 breeding pairs of 19 species of coastal-dependent birds, including more than 1,000 nesting pairs of federally listed brown pelican.
The North Deer Island project will protect and restore over 135 acres of fish and wildlife habitats. In Phase II to be funded by the federal grant, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and project partners, will protect 82 acres of island habitat from erosion and restore eight acres of estuarine marsh.
The total cost of the project is $1.24 million, with $653,300 of that paid by the federal grant. The partners share of the project will be $587,000. Project partners include the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, Gulf of Mexico Program, USFWS Coastal Program, Texas Genco's EcoCenter, Shell Marine Habitat Program and Houston Audubon,.National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grants are awarded to states through a competitive process. The program is funded under provisions of the 1990 Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act, with money generated from excise taxes on fishing equipment, and motorboat and small engine fuels.
"These are win-win projects," said Dale Hall, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director. "I'm very excited when we're able to leverage the taxpayer dollar with our partners and get a lot more value for the money."
For more information on this project please contact Jamie Schubert at (281) 534-0135 with the Coastal Fisheries Habitat Program.
