OVINGTON will be bidding to become the first team to retain the HPH York Vale Cricket League title for ten years.
No club has won the crown in successive years since the now defunct Norwich Union completed a hat-trick of first division triumphs in 2004.
Since then nine different teams have been crowned champions with only Hemingbrough managing the feat twice in that period, in 2007 and 2010.
With the all-round talents of Barry Steel to the fore, Ovington are expected to put up a strong defence of their title.
Hemingbrough's squad has been boosted by the signing of Jonathan Smith from Wetherby League side Garforth Parish Church.
Last year's runners-up, Bishopthorpe, will be hoping to go one step further with pace bowlers Ian Holmes and Scott Reeves, supported by spinner Andrew Seager, always a threat.
Stockton & Hopgrove, who have always been in the mix in recent seasons, will be led once again by Rich Kerrison. But they will need someone to step up and fill the boots of youngster Matt Durkin, the league's leading run maker last season, who has moved to the York & District Senior League with Woodhouse Grange.
North Cave, third last year and champions in 2012, are bound to pose a threat and open the campaign today with a home game against Stockton & Hopgrove.
Burn, another side usually tussling for honours, will be skippered by Leigh Adamson and start at Kelfield. Veteran run-maker Ray Adamson has stepped down from the firsts to lead Burn's second team in division four.
Because first day opponents York RI folded shortly before the start of the season, Thixendale, the division two champions, start their campaign the next week against Ovington.
Fellow promoted side North Duffield, having moved up two divisions in successive seasons face a baptism of fire at champions Ovington.
Newcomers Tadcaster Magnet start life in division four with a trip to Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

METAIRIE — It is a team record that has stood for 30 NFL seasons, since the old Baltimore Colts finished 2-14 under Mike McCormack in 1981.
But this record no one wants to have.
Unfortunately, the 2012 New Orleans Saints are on the verge of establishing a league benchmark for most yards allowed in one season. And there is absolutely no reason to think it won't happen Sunday when the Saints (7-8) close out the regular season against the Carolina Panthers (6-9) at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
All the Panthers need is 282 net yards — they average 349.4 per game — and the NFL record will belong to New Orleans.
Fair and square.
The '81 Colts, whose coaching staff included Saints interim coach Joe Vitt as a strength/quality control assistant, yielded 6,793 yards, or an average of 424.6 yards per game. The Saints' number stands at 6,512, or 434.1 yards per game, bettering the club-record of 6,218 set by the 1980 1-15 "Baghead'' team.
The 15-game total by the 2012 Saints reflects the good, bad and ugly under first-year defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, from the 0-4 start in September to the 5-1 spurt in Games 5 through 10, to the 2-3 stretch run until now.
"It (stinks),'' Saints strong safety Roman Harper. "But it is what it is. It's bad to have your name on that (record). But I'm in the record books, I guess.''
Truth be told, the Saints defense has played much better the past month, highlighted by a 41-0 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, the team's first shutout in 17 years. Two weeks earlier, the NFC South-champion Atlanta Falcons mustered only 283 yards in a 23-13 win at the Georgia Dome.
But those outings by the Saints defense have been the exceptions to the rule.
The Saints had been yielding points and yards at an alarming clip for much of the season, beginning with that 0-4 start that saw the opposition average 32.5 points and 463.3 yards per game. The Panthers contributed mightily to the Saints' woes in Week 2, winning 35-27 and amassing 463 yards under the direction of versatile quarterback Cam Newton.
"Is it an embarrassment? Yeah,'' Saints defensive end Will Smith said. "You never want to be last at anything; you always strive to be the best.
"But you don't worry about it. That's more of a media thing. We know what kind of guys we have here. We know what kind of (defensive) system we have here. We know that when it becomes the way it needs to be, we're going to be a defense that can actually win games and not just hold on to games.''
Case in point: Sunday, the Saints bested the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in overtime in Arlington, Texas, after squandering a 31-17 lead to hot-handed quarterback Tony Romo in the final three minutes, 35 seconds of regulation. All told, the Cowboys amassed 446 yards, 406 through the air.
"The latter half of the season shows that we have a better understanding of the defense,'' Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis said. "But the thing about life and the thing about football is, once something is done, it's done. You can't go back and change it.
"At this point all we can do is keep pushing and try to do our best Sunday. What's done is done. We can't do anything about it now.''
In other words, the toothpaste is out of the tube.
Entering Sunday's game against Carolina, the Saints rank 28th in scoring defense (27.3 points per game), last among 32 teams in total defense (434.1 yards), 29th against the run (139.1 yards) and 31st against the pass (294.9 yards).
On a positive note, the NFL record for most points allowed in a season is safe ('81 Colts, 533). The Saints have allowed 410; the club record is 487 (1980).
"If we were setting the record for giving up the most points, I think that would be more devastating,'' Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "But you never want to have your name on being the worst at something.
"Our approach to Sunday's game is go out and play hard and not give up points and see where the cards fall when the clock hits zero.''
The Saints and quarterback Drew Brees already own the NFL single-season for most offensive yards with 7,474 set in 2011. If Carolina gains at least 282 yards, that would give the Saints the distinction of holding both offensive and defensive NFL single-season yardage records.

NATHAN Greaves will be venturing into the unknown this evening when he makes his home debut for Swindon Robins.
Having never raced at the Abbey Stadium before, Greaves was due to make his first appearance in front of his own fans on Thursday against Leicester but saw that chance ruined by the rain.
However, another opportunity has quickly come along and he will turn out at Blunsdon for the first time in front of the Sky Sports cameras when Belle Vue visit tonight.
While Greaves is looking forward to his Wiltshire debut, he admitted the Abbey Stadium track will be far from home soil, for a little while at least.
"The first time I have ever seen the Swindon track will be on Sky so it should be a good one," he said.
"I was on Sky last week against King's Lynn and that was good but I'm really looking forward to riding at home, although it doesn't really feel like it's at home because I've never been there before.
"After the first few times I'm sure it will feel okay and maybe after I've ridden there once, got used to the fans and how things work down there, it will be okay.
"Swindon beat Belle Vue earlier in the season but they didn't have me that time so hopefully I won't let the boys down."
The 16-year-old's tough baptism to Elite League speedway continued at Eastbourne on Saturday night where he hit the deck three teams in a meeting where he failed to score, but the youngster insisted he was still able to take plenty from the clash.
"I think I fell off more times than I did races to be honest but I learnt a lot from it even though I scored no points," he said.
"I'm enjoying it as well which is good because I am always learning, although it would be nice to score a few points while I'm doing it too."

Corn futures continued their recent decline Wednesday. The latest weather news was largely unchanged, but the weekly report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) confirmed recent suspicions of poor demand from the ethanol industry. Technical and pragmatic factors probably weighed on prices. The nearby March contracts fell below support associated with its 20-day moving average (MA) one day after dipping under its 10-day MA. The looming release of the weekly Export Sales reports Thursday and the monthly Crop Production and Supply/Demand reports Friday may have prompted long liquidation as well. March corn fell 8.0 cents to $7.225/bushel at the end of the day, while December dove 10.0 cents to $5.7875.
Soybean futures declined as South American rainfall forecasts improved Wednesday. The weather models apparently changed little at midday, but the recent shift toward more favorable crop conditions in Argentina and Southern Brazil rather clearly weighed upon CBOT prices. Bulls may also have been exiting positions ahead of the forthcoming Export Sales, Crop Production and Supply/Demand reports. March soybeans closed 8.0 cents lower, at 14.875 Wednesday, while March soyoil tumbled 0.53 cents to 52.45 cents/pound and March meal slipped $1.4 cents to $437.1/ton.
Wheat futures bounced from early losses and posted firm closes today. The cause of the reversal was not readily apparent, but wire service reports suggested the recent rise in Gulf Coast premiums persuaded traders that export business has improved. Bearish traders may also have been taking profits ahead of the late week export and situational reports. The fact that March Kansas City futures bounced from the $8.00/bushel level probably prompted considerable buying as well. March CBOT wheat futures settled 4.0 cents higher, at $7.615/bushel, Wednesday afternoon, while March KCBT wheat rose 3.50 cents to $8.0975 and March MGE futures climbed 4.0 cents to $8.4475.
Live cattle futures posted substantial losses Wednesday. News that Russia might expand its previously announced restrictions upon American products seemingly undercut the market. Although the underlying Russian objections to meat with the growth promotant ractopamine involved are probably more political than phytosanitary in nature, that does not change the damage a ban on U.S. beef might do to the domestic market. April cattle closed 0.85 cents lower, at 131.45 cents/pound, while August dropped 0.75 cents to 128.12. March feeder cattle sank 0.97 cents to 147.55 cents/pound, while August dove 1.10 cents to 159.42.
Hog futures also dropped Wednesday. The latest cash news actually seemed supportive of the short-term outlook, but traders seemed to discount late-morning news of pork loin firmness in the wake of the major losses posted Tuesday afternoon. Talk of the potential damage that might be done by additional Russian restrictions on imports of American meat products may also have played a role in the CME breakdown. April hogs sank 1.45 cents to 86.25 cents/pound at the afternoon close, while June plunged 1.30 cents to 95.15.

PITTSBURGH In light of a new survey that shows families may not be properly addressing their oral healthcare needs, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare is launching a first-of-its-kind online resource for people seeking oral health education and personalized oral care plans for each family member.
By visiting WealthOfOralHealth.com and completing a brief survey, consumers can immediately receive a customized plan for each family member, addressing important conditions ranging from bad breath, cavities, acid erosion and sensitive teeth.
To further its mission, GSK is donating $1 to Oral Health America for every person who completes a customized oral healthcare plan on the site. The donation will consist of both financial and product contribution of up to $100,000 to help the OHA in their efforts to provide oral health resources and products, such as toothbrushes and toothpastes, to under-served communities in the United States.
In March, an online national survey of 1,023 U.S. mothers (ages 25 years and older) was conducted on behalf of GSK by Richard Day Research. The survey found that 69% of moms surveyed believe meeting the specific oral healthcare needs of each family member is very important; however, nearly half of moms (48%) report using a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to oral health products in their home.
"The new study confirms that families look to mom to know which oral healthcare products are best for them. Knowing how much moms have on their plate, we wanted to create an easy-to-use tool, which will arm them with information needed to make informed decisions for their family's oral healthcare regimens," stated Colin Mackenzie, VP oral care marketing for GSK Consumer Healthcare. "This new tool is a comprehensive resource for information about products that are specifically designed to best address the oral healthcare needs of each member of the family."

Did you know?
Local runners regard the Two Oceans Marathon as training for the Comrades Marathon.
Welcome to the most beautiful race in the world.
Now that's a bold statement for anyone to make, but when you run the Two Oceans Marathon, between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans down on the Cape Peninsula of South Africa, chances are you'll endorse those sentiments.
Just take Chapman's Peak Drive, for instance. It's hard to keep your eyes on the road because of all the distractions out there: a few dolphins leaping out to sea, the delicious curve of the coast, fynbos in bloom and, on a clear day, the bobbing fishing boats and the surfers and the tucked-in little hamlets along the way.
Nearly 7 000 runners take on the long version (56 kilometres) of this Cape Town marathon, while about 12 000 sign up for the half-marathon, the favourite of its kind in South Africa.
The Two Oceans Marathon, which takes place over the Easter Weekend, winds along the peninsula seaboard, arguably the most scenic drive – or run – one can find.
For the serious runners, it's tough going, and a classic field of winners has come from various African countries and the Russian states. The first black runner to win a Comrades Marathon medal, Vincent Rakabele, won the Two Oceans in 1976, beating another Comrades legend, Alan Robb.
Dirkie Steyn of Stellenbosch University was the first winner of this ultra-marathon, then known as the Celtic 35 Mile Road Race. He was one of only 15 finishers at that inaugural 1970 event – and he ran the whole race barefoot.
The race – officially known as the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon – is the main Easter event, but around this there are various expos, a family day, fun runs and all manner of entertainment for young and old.

Email firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
The Two Oceans Marathon begins and ends in Cape Town, served by an international airport.
Best time to visit
The race is held annually over the Easter weekend.
Length of stay
The race takes a day, but you'll definitely want to stay around to explore all the sights you ran past.
Where to stay
Cape Town has many hotels, guest houses and B&Bs. Just book well in advance, because the Easter weekend usually coincides with local school holidays.
What's happening
Most people know the Two Oceans as a marathon. But those not too serious about marathon running could also do the 5 or 2.5 km fun-runs.

The Caribbean and Latin American Studies (CLAS) minor was an important part of my academic development at St. Lawrence University. As a Spanish and Global Studies double-major, the CLAS program served as an important bridge between my two primary fields of study that allowed me to explore the interrelationships between the language and literature of the Americas on the one hand, and the deep-seated local and global adversities afflicting the region on the other. With the guidance and counsel of Dra. Martha Chew Sanchez, Dr. Steven White and Dra. Evelyn Powell Jennings, I was encouraged to not only pursue my interest in Latin American literature, culture and politics on campus through CLAS courses but also to go abroad so that I could actively participate in the lived experiences of the people and directly apply the skills I had developed.
I was fortunate enough to be able to study abroad with the St. Lawrence semester program in San Jose, Costa Rica the spring of my junior year. As a directly enrolled student at the University of Costa Rica, I took courses with native tico students on the issues immediately impacting their lives with the foremost resident scholars in their respective fields as professors. After completing the semester, I backpacked with my friend Jesus Ruiz across the length and breadth of Central America to further reinforce my connection to the peoples and cultures of the region. Not only were these incredible experiences educational and culturally enriching in their own right, through the CLAS minor I was able to build upon what I had learned during my travels in the classroom. By once again engaging with the material, everything came full circle; from introductory level course work my freshman and sophomore year to on-the-ground experience my junior year to analysis and reflection to bring it all together my senior year. Importantly, CLAS not only prepared me to be a scholar of the Americas, the incredible professors and engaging courses also helped me to develop the skills to think critically about global processes and apply big-picture theoretical frameworks to case-specific situations.
The profound connection that I feel with the language, culture, history and peoples of Latin America was largely inspired by the work that I did with the Caribbean and Latin American Studies department. Since graduating in May 2008, I have traveled and volunteered for a combined 6 months in Central and South America. Most notably, I lived for two and half months in a squatter settlement with a Harvard-based holistic community development project in the rural foothills of La Prusia, Nicaragua. Having recently returned from a 7-month trip through Southeast Asia, Oceania and Europe, I am now at home planning my next steps. Whatever that next step may be, I am confident that it will in some way involve Latin America or the skills that I developed through CLAS.

HOUSTON - A Houston Community College student is in jail after being accused of threatening to shoot his classmates, court records show.
Cory J. Brown, 32, is charged with making a terroristic threat. According to court records, HCC police claim that Brown walked to the front of his classroom on the school's central campus Wednesday and began verbally threatening his teacher and classmates.
"You have to take everything seriously," said student Justin Edwards. "A threat is no joke when you're threatening somebody's life. It's kind of disturbing with all the stuff that's going on right now."
Brown, who was unarmed, ran out of the classroom without injuring any other students. HCC police said that officers caught and arrested Brown minutes later off-campus.
"If it comes out of your lips and it is heard by someone," said HCC Chief Communication Officer Dan Arguijo. "We will act on that verbal outburst or those statements. Since the Virginia Tech incident, we have made sure that we've equipped ourselves with the latest safety measures. Faculty and staff have been trained in behavioral training."
No motive has been given for the alleged outburst.
"But any outburst is not going to be tolerated at HCC," said Arguijo. "Thank God we had this kind of response and this kind of outcome."
According to records, this incident isn't Brown's first run in with the law. He has a long criminal history with convictions that include selling drugs, assault, attempted theft and most recently in 2008, being a felon in possession of a firearm.
More than 75,000 students are enrolled throughout HCC's six colleges and 42 campuses.
Brown is next scheduled to appear in court July 19.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Digital Day Camp wins Project:Connect - Summer Youth Programming Competition grant!
Eyebeam Awarded $10,000 Grant to Enhance Learning Online
Eyebeam's Digital Day Camp Won Grant as Part of Larger Effort to Build a Learning Approach for Our Times
Washington, D.C., July 10, 2013 – Eyebeam recently was awarded a $10,000 grant to support its Digital Day Camp program for youth this summer after entering a national competition supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, administered by Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC), and carried out in collaboration with Facebook, the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI), and Mozilla.
The Project:Connect Summer Youth Programming Competition was part of the 5th annual Digital Media and Learning Competition that is encouraging the development of apps, badges, curricula, and other tools to maximize learning through making the online experience for young people more civil, safe, and empowering.
Competing for grants of up to $10,000 each to support single or multi-day summer programs, the 266 applicants from 41 states plus Washington, D.C., included libraries, community organizations, advocacy groups, museums, non-profits, cultural organizations, youth-serving institutions, and arts organizations.
"The competition this year is designed to engage young people in solving a real-world challenge – making the Internet a safer and more powerful place to advance learning," said Connie Yowell, Director of Education at the MacArthur Foundation. "The ability to meet that challenge will help determine whether education will be more relevant to both young people and the economy where they will be eventually looking for work."
Proposals were evaluated for their potential to:
- Actively contribute to the goal of a more equitable, social, safe, and participatory web for all, through the development or testing of new digital tools and learning programs;
- Bridge social and cultural differences by providing youth with opportunities to learn from and with one another in supportive ways;
- Provide participatory and hands-on making and learning experiences based on the principles of Connected Learning, an educational approach designed to help prepare young people for a world that is highly networked, technology-enabled, and producing new knowledge at a pace not known to previous generations; and
- Support online programs and applications that enable privacy and diverse and respectful lifestyles and opinions.
Hailing from metropolitan areas, a small town, and a rural location, the winning programs are those that most effectively encourage civic engagement and community-building; promote civility, equity and safety online; embody Connected Learning principles of interest-powered, peer supported and academically oriented learning; and have a strong plan to ensure participation and project success.
From July through September, these organizations will be hosting local hands-on events where young people collaborate and compete to build a better web through activities such as hackathons, digital learning labs, maker spaces, badge development workshops, digital journalism and mentoring workshops. All the events are part of the Summer of Making and Connecting, in which dozens of organizations are engaging young people, parents, teachers and others in creating learning opportunities designed for our times.
The Project:Connect Summer Youth Programming Competition and all Digital Media and Learning Competitions are administered by HASTAC through grants from the MacArthur Foundation to the University of California, Irvine.
Since 2004, MacArthur has invested more than $100 million in research, design, and practice to better understand how digital media are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life, and what that means for learning and the institutions that support it. More information is at www.macfound.org/education.

ONEONTA, NY – Saint Leo baseball players Chris Newcomb and Brendan Collins were selected to compete for the West squad in the 2011 New York Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game which was played on Monday, July 11 from Damaschke Field in Oneonta, NY. The duo helped power the West squad to an 8-6 win over the East.
Two of over 10 Saint Leo baseball players participating in various summer leagues across the nation, Newcomb is currently a member of the Allegheny County Nitros and Collins plays for the Niagara Power.
In 31 games so far this summer, Newcomb, the Lions' starting centerfielder, is hitting .291 with 16 RBI and 15 doubles. The doubles currently lead the team. Meanwhile Collins is having a breakout year with his team. Leading the entire league in hitting at one point, he went 2-for-2 in the All-Star game and is currently hitting .387 with 43 hits with 13 RBI in 32 games.
The New York Collegiate Baseball League, founded in 1978, is a summer wood bat development league for professional baseball and is partly funded by Major League Baseball. The league gives college players the opportunity to develop their skills at a higher level of play, gain experience with wood bats, and be evaluated by scouts. The NYCBL is located in scenic Upstate New York.
Teams play a 42 game regular season schedule with games beginning in June and ending in the last week in July. The All-Star game is played in early July, and the League Championship Series concludes in the first week of August.
Newcomb and Collins joined fellow teammate Adam Albers in earning All-Star nods with their respective leagues.

Simply put, dihydroxyacetone is the active ingredient used to make self-tanners work. Discovered to have skin darkening properties in the 1920s by a German scientist, DHA is typically derived from plant sources, such as beets or sugar cane.
DHA works by interacting with the amino acids of your dead skin cells, resulting in a brownish-tan hue. The color sticks around for about three to ten days, depending on how long it takes for your skin cells to shed.
The first commercial self-tanning product was released in 1960 from Coppertone, called Quick Tan or QT. The biggest problem with early formulations? Orange, streaky results. Nowadays you can get your own dose of DHA in many sun-free ways: creams, sprays, wipes, and even mousses — streak and orange free.

HOUSTON - A man was found beaten to death on his 38th birthday, investigators said.
Houston police said a 38-year-old man had a small party at a home in the 3700 block of Sparks near the Eastex Freeway in northeast Houston on Sunday. Both he and his mother were celebrating their birthdays, which were just a day apart, officials said.
Neighbors became worried about the man, because he suffered from a medical condition, so they went to check on him on Monday morning. They ended up finding him dead, police said.
"I heard that they hit him in the back of the head with a baseball bat," friend Janet Hernandez said. "When they came banging on my door to get a phone number for his mom, I went into shock."
The man was last seen around 2:30 p.m. Sunday with two men believed to be friends, officials said. They are considered to be persons of interest, but police have not released their names.
The victim's name has not been released.
"This boy would take his shirt off for you if you needed a shirt," Hernandez said. "I don't know who would do this to him."

THEY'RE off in the world's oldest, and probably only, shares race where the racers include an astrologer and a dartboard.
All start with a notional $100,000, split equally between 10 stocks of their choice, which they must hold for four weeks, at which point the winner is declared. Any dividends paid are included, and adjustments are made for complications such as rights issues. Every winner from 2012 is in this round except the dartboard, which is indisposed.
An account manager at Australian National Couriers, Mark Rice, has darted to the front, although he didn't have the best stock and is clinging on by just $99.
The winning stock was picked by Doreen Daze, the astrologer, who won twice in 2012 along with, ahem, yours truly.
Namoi Cotton surged almost 12 per cent in a week after signing a joint-venture deal with Dutch-owned rival Louis Dreyfus Commodities. This injected $34 million into the debt-laden growers' co-operative. It will still buy the cotton but the joint venture will pack and sell it globally. Oh, it's also one of the few stocks to benefit from the Queensland floods.
The only potential setback for Doreen is that growers have to approve the deal by a 75 per cent majority in the last week of the race.
The week's worst stock was Healthlinx, which halved in value, even though it wasn't worth much to begin with, and almost had our equities dealer, Cameron Haynes, scratched. It's one of the cheapest stocks on the ASX, each share being worth only one-hundredth of a cent.
Be mindful, though, that a racer can be last in week one and win week four.
I know. I've done it.

So what has happened to Joe Dunne's Midas touch?
After all, it was only last month that Colchester United were a resurgent force in League One under their passionate and popular new manager and life was rosy at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
An impressive run of five wins in six league matches saw the U's rise from a position hovering above the relegation zone in League One to the sanctuary of mid-table, playing exhilarating and exciting football.
But since they conceded two goals in three minutes to squander a two-goal lead and draw 2-2 at Shrewsbury Town a fortnight ago, they have not looked the same force.
An FA Cup exit at neighbours Chelmsford City and two straight league defeats have followed.
The defensive solidity witnessed in Dunne's opening games as John Ward's successor has vanished, replaced by an alarming fragility that has seen Colchester ship ten goals in four games.
Dunne himself admitted that there appears to be a worrying lack of belief and mental frailty among his players, perhaps a knock-on effect from their disappointing start to the campaign.
Over recent games, the U's have looked extremely vulnerable at certain times and a lack of leadership has proved detrimental to their hopes of fighting back in matches, when the going gets tough.
In addition, Sanchez Watt's hamstring injury has been a big blow and the Arsenal loanee has been missed, in recent games.
But Dunne has made no secret of the fact that there will be ups and downs this season, as he impresses his philosophy on his players.
Of course, there is disappointment over recent results but a sense of perspective is needed.
While Dunne's honeymoon period may be over, the feel-good factor is still alive.
With no game tonight, the U's now have a week to take stock of what has happened in recent games and try to rediscover the confidence that helped them successfully match attacking prowess with defensive strength, just a few weeks ago.
And with back-to-back home games against sides below them in the table to follow, now is the time for Colchester to rediscover their spirit and the kind of form that earned them so many plaudits in the early part of Dunne's reign.

Over the last few days, I've watched and enjoyed what we now know is the greatest four-game explosion of offense in New York Mets history. My wife has taken notice as well, wandering in and out of games. She's a devoted fan, but wouldn't necessarily begin furiously computing the run torrent to determine its historical context. In other words, she's a well-adjusted person.
Instead, as she said to me on Tuesday, "The Mets are scoring a lot of runs lately, right?"
But it was her question last night that got me thinking. She returned home from a night out with a college friend to see the 16 on the scoreboard. I described the offense in greater detail, all of the multi-hit games, the two-out production, that they did it despite a slump from Jose Reyes (just two hits last night- and he thinks he's getting Carl Crawford money?)- and her reaction was this:
"Why aren't you more excited about this?"
I didn't have an immediate answer. Why wasn't I more excited about this? My wife had seen me fall off the bed in celebration back in 2005, when a Ramon Castro home run pulled the Mets to within a half-game of the Phillies for the wild card. She'd heard me bellow triumphantly from the office when I won a bulk pack of Ike Davis rookie cards on EBay. She'd watched me try and teach our baby daughter how to say Hisanori Takahashi for months, only to see the Mets fail to offer him a 2011 contract.
The point is, I'm not a man prone to understated reactions. So how was I feeling about the most extreme offensive output in team history? Pleased. Not ecstatic, but pleased.
And I think the reason why, upon closer examination, is similar to the reason I didn't freak out at the start of the season. And keep in mind, when the Mets started 5-13, it felt like everybody panicked. The beat writers. Fred Wilpon. East side. West side. Everybody was coming down on the Mets.
In my family, because of my profession, I am the go-to explainer for why the Mets do what they do, for good and for ill. Indeed, some within the family actually seem to hold me responsible for various moves- I don't know if they didn't read until the end of my book (spoiler alert: I am not the General Manager), or what. But I got a lot of questions early on about just how ridiculously bad the Mets would be this season. And my stock answer was this: "They're off to a terrible start. But the Mets are not terrible."
It became sort of a rallying cry around our household in the weeks that followed. As the Mets clawed to .500, each key hit or vital defensive gem would lead to either me or my wife saying: "See? Not terrible!" I guess the Mets couldn't have built a marketing campaign around this, but it was still rewarding to see the Mets prove me right, one not-terrible moment at a time.
I think the takeaway from this is that in a season where the Mets aren't really contenders- and look, I know they're five games out of the wild card, but they have three teams ahead of them, and I don't see them as contenders in that sense just yet- is that the value of a win or loss is far more muted. They started 5-13? Okay, I don't like all the losses. But is it all that upsetting? Not really- they aren't going anywhere this year anyway, in all likelihood.
It is a far cry from the 5-12 that ended their 2007 season- those losses mattered greatly-and not just because they came at the end of the season. That was a team that contended for a playoff spot, and one loss could be the difference between the playoffs and a free October. (And, it turns out, it was.) I could turn out to be wrong, but those don't seem to be the stakes in 2011.
And that's why these wins, particularly in the manner the Mets achieved them, have been pleasurable, but don't create the elation I've experienced in the past, and certainly hope and believe I will again in the future as a Mets fan. I hope I'm not coming across as unnecessarily negative here, but I don't expect the Mets to keep on averaging 15 runs per game. They're not an offensive juggernaut on the level of a 2,430-run team. They are probably not even a great offensive team, or a very good one- not with David Wright still out of the lineup, Ike Davis out of the lineup, Ruben Tejada at second base, etc.
They are, however, not terrible. I had them pegged for 84 wins, and with a win today, they'll be on pace for exactly that halfway through the year. And they've done it largely without Wright, who is expected to return shortly. Perhaps I underestimated them, and this explosion is a statement that the National League should take notice of the powerhouse in Queens. I suspect otherwise, but if these offensive outputs in June lead to games in late August in which the Mets climb to within a half-game of the wild card, I'll fall off the bed again, I'm sure.
And my wife won't ask me why I'm not more excited. She might ask herself some questions about why she married a crazy person. But my excitement won't be in any doubt.

Ever since Facebook first rolled out its own virtual currency, developers have wondered if, when, and how the company would start encouraging the use of Credits across its enormous platform.
The answer is becoming clear, and the time is now. Facebook wants developers to start using Credits in a big way as it works to build a system similar to Apple's iTunes, where users make lots of small purchases with a credit card kept on file.
Developers are taking the cue. CrowdStar, one of the most successful social gaming companies, just announced it will use Credits as its exclusive in-game currency for at least the next five years. Read more

Indiana delays discipline against ex-election chief
The Indiana Supreme Court has agreed to delay disciplinary action against former Secretary of State Charlie White.
The state disciplinary commission suspended White's law license in April following his February conviction on felony charges including vote fraud, perjury and theft. White was removed from office due to the convictions.
Last week, the Supreme Court granted White's request to stay further disciplinary action until all of his appeals have been completed.
The charges stemmed from using his ex-wife's address as his voting address when he was serving on the Fishers Town Council and running for secretary of state in 2010.
White's sentence of a year on home detention has been stayed while he appeals his convictions.
White didn't return phone calls and emails seeking comment Monday.

An abscessed tooth is a tooth that has a pocket of pus in the
tissues around or beneath it. A bacterial infection or gum disease (gingivitis
or periodontitis) may cause the bone surrounding the tooth to dissolve and an
abscess to form.
Symptoms of an abscessed tooth include pain, swelling, and redness
in the gums; a bad taste in the mouth; and fever.
An abscessed tooth is usually treated with:
If the pulp of the tooth is infected, root canal treatment will be
done to remove the infected pulp and try to save the tooth. If root canal
treatment is not successful, the tooth will be removed (extraction).

This is the last post of the Pew Pew Chronicles – a series of blog posts about a crazy journey that eventually led to Pew Pew becoming one of the first apps in Microsoft's App Store.
I would like to end this series with summarizing the underlying ideas of my work on Pew Pew.
Please wake up now
Last month I gave a talk about creating Metro applications using ActionScript. In order to spice up the Q&A segment at the end of my talk I thought it would be fun to add a final slide with some provocative statements. I called that slide The Pew Pew Manifesto, which I am going to share with you in a minute.
I suspect that not everybody will agree with what I put into the Pew Pew Manifesto. But before we enter a religious war about dynamically versus statically typed languages, or whether JavaScript can be used for large projects, let me stress that I didn't write the Pew Pew Manifesto in order to pick up a bar fight. I wrote it in order to wake up my colleagues that fell asleep during my talk! (Just kidding, nobody fell asleep.)
That said, let me present the Pew Pew Manifest:
- JavaScript is not suitable for large web apps.
- Choose a high-level language for developing web apps.
- Cross-compile from a high-level language to JavaScript.
- Use Google's Closure Compiler for optimizing JavaScript.
- Optimized JavaScript is obfuscated and protects your intellectual property.
- Let your app degrade gracefully when OS features are missing.
- Invade every Web Platform!
I'll walk you through the list…
JavaScript is not suitable for large web apps.
I am serious: Don't write large web apps in JavaScript. As mentioned in Planning A Death March I don't think JavaScript is suitable for implementing large projects. Last year I was asked to help out with an internal project that used JavaScript. Over time the code had grown out of control and there was only one person left, who really understood how it worked. The project had also become unscalable, because adding more developers would not have increased the overall productivity. It would have taken those developers too much time to come up to speed and work on this particular code base written in JavaScript. I looked at the code and suggested this crazy idea: Why not porting the existing JavaScript code to ActionScript and then continuing development in ActionScript while cross-compiling to JavaScript?
Porting JavaScript to ActionScript in order to cross-compile back to JavaScript? Was that crazy-talk? Perhaps, but it surprisingly worked and probably saved that project. Here is what happened when I ported the JavaScript code to ActionScript:
- The code naturally distributed itself from about 10 files to over 100 files when creating ActionScript classes.
- Porting JavaScript to ActionScript revealed inconsistencies and at times incoherent uses of types.
- My cross-compiler automatically added type annotations necessary for compiling with Closure's Advanced Mode.
You wouldn't believe how many inconsistencies I found when porting JavaScript to ActionScript. Often JavaScript code, which looked perfectly fine at the first glance, revealed itself as incoherent the moment I tried to compile it with an ActionScript compiler. Sloppy usage of types were to blame for most of the inconsistencies. A very popular anti-pattern seemed to emerge: functions, which return incompatible types:
// (bad) JavaScript
function createBunnyOrToaster(createBunny) { if( createBunny ) return new Bunny(); return new Toaster(); }
Of course if you start writing this kind of code your receiving end gets quickly contaminated with inconsistencies:
// (bad) JavaScript
function feedBunnyOrToaster(bunnyOrToaster) { if( bunnyOrToaster instanceof Toaster ) bunnyOrToaster.insert(new Toast()); else bunnyOrToaster.feed(new Carrot()); }
Nobody in his right mind would write this kind of code. But I have seen it more than once. In fact I have written that kind of code myself. My point is that it's not necessarily the developer's fault that we end up with bad code like the examples above. I would argue that dynamically typed languages like JavaScript are too tolerant and don't slap developers on the fingers when they start mixing up bunnies with toasters. It might cramp your artistic programming style if you cannot mix up bunnies with toasters but where I come from doing so results in bad projects.
Just to be clear: You can write bunny-and-toaster code in ActionScript, too. But I would argue that you get immediate feedback of something being fundamentally wrong as you are typing that code, just by being confronted with questions like "what should be the return type?". Of course you can choose to use "*" or "Object". But most people pause and rethink their design at that point.
Not everybody is as smart as Gilad Bracha or John Resig and those that aren't – like this author – are probably better off with writing their code in a statically typed language. Many will probably disagree with this statement. It might make more sense after reading the next Manifesto statement.
In the following week after I gave my talk about creating Metro apps using ActionScript I ran into a few colleagues and I was surprised that it was this statement that they found most intriguing. One colleague argued that the definition of assembly language implies a one to one correspondence with the underlying machine code. Another characteristic element of assembly languages are that they are also generally understood to be non-portable. Since JavaScript is neither, where does this idea of JavaScript being an assembly language come from and what is this about?
The first time I heard about JavaScript described as an assembly language was through Gilad Bracha's blog. In 2008 he wrote in java'scrypt:
To illustrate his point let me show you my cross-compiled and optimized JavaScript code of SpriteExample, which is included in Adobe's online documentation about the Sprite class. As you can see the JavaScript code is extremely dense and no longer readable. In that sense the code looks more like binary code to me. It turns out that this kind of "binary looking" JavaScript is the most efficient version in terms of size and performance.
If you are interested in the discussion about JavaScript as an assembly language I recommend listening to JavaScript is Assembly Language for the Web: Semantic Markup is Dead!
Choose a high-level language for developing web apps.
Implementing your project in JavaScript leaves you with some tough choices: If you ship the development version of your JavaScript code with your product, it is not obfuscated, and also bigger, and slower. If you want a faster, smaller app that also protects your intellectual property you have to optimize your JavaScript. But then you also have to annotate your code with type hints. If you don't annotate your code with type hints the Closure compiler won't be able to optimize as much and your code is less obfuscated, bigger, and slower. If you do find yourself writing JavaScript with type type annotations then why not using a high-level language instead and use a cross-compiler that automatically generates the type hints for you?
That's really the point of this Manifesto statement.
Cross-compile from a high-level language to JavaScript.
You have several choices:
- Dart is Google's new programming language for the web, which also cross-compiles to JavaScript.
- CoffeeScript supports classes and compiles to JavaScript.
- Haxe/JS does that too.
- Script# cross-compiles C# to JavaScript.
Some folks are even experimenting with cross-compiling Scala to JavaScript.
In the case of Pew Pew I used my own ActionScript to JavaScript cross-compiler. In Planning A Death March I made the argument that if you had to implement Photoshop in six weeks you wouldn't pick an assembly language. Being able to cross-compile from a high-level language to JavaScript was a crucial element of my plan.
Use Google's Closure Compiler for optimizing JavaScript.
In Optimizing cross-compiled JavaScript I wrote a whole article about the importance of optimizing your JavaScript code. As far as I know Google's Closure Compiler is still the best JavaScript optimizer out there.
Optimized JavaScript is obfuscated and protects your intellectual property.
A nice side effect of optimizing your JavaScript is that it becomes unreadable as I illustrated with my SpriteExample snippet. You would never write "binary JavaScript" code like that manually. But for professional software production it is important to be able to write code in a maintainable high-level language while deploying a product that does not reveal the ideas of your source code.
In my opinion the current version of Visual Studio 11 for Metro is missing this important point. There is no built-in JavaScript optimizer and no support to hook one in. Microsoft seems to assume that nobody wants to optimize JavaScript code. Their current IDE only outputs Debug JavaScript code. There is in my opinion essentially no Release option for JavaScript apps in Visual Studio 11 for Metro. I really hope Microsoft will change that.
Let your app degrade gracefully when OS features are missing.
This might be an obvious statement. But what I am saying is, if you write a Metro app in a high-level language like ActionScript make sure that your code "degrades gracefully" so your app would also run in most modern browsers on other platforms.
I'll give you an example from my Pew Pew code:
const domWindow : DOMWindow = adobe.globals; if( domWindow.hasOwnProperty("Windows") ) { var appLayout : ApplicationView = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView; appLayout = appLayout.getForCurrentView(); appLayout.addEventListener("viewstatechanged", onViewStateChanged, false); }
The code above only registers onViewStateChanged if the environment is known to support the Windows namespace. In other words, if this code runs in a browser without Metro support, it won't register for view state changes.
Why going through the trouble? The last statement of the Pew Pew Manifesto will answer that question.
Invade every Web Platform!
I think, being able to write code once and reuse the same code on different platforms without compromising neither functionality nor aesthetics of your app's user interface is a very desirable goal.
For example, if I wanted to get Pew Pew into the Apple AppStore and Android Marketplace I would simply cross-compile my ActionScript project to JavaScript and plug it into the PhoneGap architecture. As far as I know I can even write my own native plug-ins for PhoneGap. If that's really the case I can pretty much invade every web platform that PhoneGap supports.
Maybe that's what I should be working on next…

wjmbsd - Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - linkAre there any benchmarks out there yet for the HD 2900 XT from Diamond (the $499 version w/ 1GB of DDR4)??? Anyone know when to expect to see some? Diamond says this is "The World's Fastest Graphics Card" and I was told by Maingear that the 1GB version of this card is much faster than even the Nvidia 8800 Ultra, at a fraction of the cost. Reply
lopri - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - link
In our more strenuous graphics test utilizing 3DMark06 we find the P35 results once again leads the 975X chipset but the margin of difference is a negligible 1~2%. We decided to see why the results were so close in this particular test. We looked over the results and found in the SM2.0 tests the P35 solution was about 2% behind the 975X scores, the P35 CPU score was slightly better, and the HDR/SM3.0 tests showed a 4% advantage for the P35. Since the HDR/SM3.0 tests heavily stress both the CPU and graphics bus we figured the x4 PCI Express lane limitation would cause a bottleneck in this test.

Verdant - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkThanks for including the RTS scores; they are really the only games I play.
This sentence doesn't seem to work grammatically:
quote:(pg 4)
There is a significant amount of smoke, explosions, and vehicle usage as this a very GPU intensive Battlefield 2 benchmark.
TA152H - Friday, May 18, 2007 - linkThe choice of words is fine, it's just not divided in a clear way.
Add a comma after "usage" and the meaning is a lot clearer. I agree with you that it could have been worded a little more clearly, just replacing "as" with "making" would have done it. Even without changing the words, by moving vehicle usage first, it would have added clarity since it is a phrase, and smoke and explosions both are words, making the seperation a little more distinct. But, that's kind of nit-picking, isn't it (not that I'm above nit-picking, I just try to act like I am)?
TA152H - Friday, May 18, 2007 - linkUgggh, "as" would have to be replaced with "making it", not "making". Reply

Paradox999 - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkWow, who would have thought ATI might have *immature* drivers for the x2900 at this point ? Duh. Moreover, why even try Crossfire when the cards in single configuration have been little more than a major league flop (don't bother spamming me, I'm an ATI fanboy). Given the poor performance (vs a much cheaper 8800GTS) and insane power requirements of a single card, you might be able to count on one hand the people eager to rush out to get a Crossfire setup. This kind of article is more in the category of 'curiosity' (like those guys that tried overclocking an x2900 with liquid nitro). Anand should be publishing more articles of a practical nature. If you want to try Crossfire and the x2900....at least wait for a few driver revisions AND then a head-to-head against the 8800gts. That *might* provide more useful information, albeit, for a very small segment of the enthusiast market.
I have to totally agree with some of the previous posters and say SLI and Crossfire is overkill and a waste of money. Buy the best card you can afford now. When it doesn't work for you any more replace it with the best NEW generation card you can buy.
I'm still annoyed that the better motherboards (like my P5B Dlx Wi-Fi)come with 2 PCIE-16 slots. I use 1 x1900XTX and I'll replace it one day with one (1) much better card. The way I see it,ASUS robbed me of a PCI slot for my many expansion cards. Reply

You must be joking, I assume? I think all PCI-E slots should be full length (x16) even though they are not electrically so. The only PCI card worth buying (for who needs one, that is) at this time would be X-Fi and that's just because of Creative's incompetency and monopoly in the market. I've ditched my X-Fi and refuse to buy Creative products until they get their act straight. Reply
TA152H - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkI ready stuff like this and I wonder what people are thinking. Why would Creative make such a mistake as you suggest?
Let's see, every motherboard comes with PCI slots, and there are tons of motherboards that people use that don't have PCI-E slots. They are selling upgrade parts, and PCI-E does NOTHING for these parts that they can't get from PCI. It's not like if they were using PCI-E they would get better performance or it would work better in some way. So, naturally, they are making PCI cards. Duh.
Maybe down the road when Intel stops supporting PCI, or when motherboards come out without PCI slots Creative will start making PCI-E, but until then, who needs them? They don't hurt in any way, not in performance, not in reliability. If they made them PCI-E so soon, they'd invest money in a product that currently makes no sense, and it would just jack up the costs. Reply
lopri - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkI somehow doubt that those 'tons of' folks with mobo without PCI-E wouldn't mind on-board sound. Heck. I have an SLI board and I rather make do with on-board sound than dealing with Creative garbage. X-F.. what? I also doubt X-Fi's target market is folks using 5 year old motherboards. Don't get me wrong. Their SB Live! is still decent and perfectly suited for older motherboards.
And.. Mistake? Umm.. I wouldn't argue about PCI-E vs PCI here, but It's not exactly the case that Creative's PCI products and supports (which is non-existent, btw) are spectacular. They didn't even have a full driver download link until very recently. (They had no choice but to upload the drivers thanks to Vista) Reply
TA152H - Friday, May 18, 2007 - linkI'm not sure we're on the same page here. I thought you were implying that Creative needed to get their act together and get on the PCI-E bandwagon since that was what you were talking about. Apparently, you just don't like Creative and that was just kind of thrown in without respect to PCI-E.
If so, I agree, they blow. Their software is horrible, and their hardware is overpriced. I don't know I'd go as far as to say that they are a monopoly; there are a lot of choices in the low end, but at the high end you can get a card from any maker you want - as long as it's Creative. I am really, really particular with respect to sound too, I have no tolerance for bad speakers or noisy computers because I listen to music on my computer, so it's extremely quiet. Unfortunately, I have to buy Creative and I have a love/hate feeling towards them. They do make the best stuff, but it's expensive, difficult and buggy. So, I know where you're coming from. Maybe NVIDIA should move into that market too. I think they'd eat up a half-rate company like Creative. How about AMD? Hell, if they're going to get into Fusion, why not do it right and put the sound processor there too? It's probably a matter of time. Sound is very important to gaming, and of course to watching TV and listening to music. Makes you wonder why more attention hasn't been placed on it, and substandard companies like Creative are given free reign. Reply
PrinceGaz - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkAlthough it was a nicely presented article on a product which is not exactly revolutionary, I must take issue with the game benchmarks which were included.
Out of the seven games tested, only two of them had any results where the average was below 60fps; one where the lowest was 54fps and the other (which was the only one with meaningful framerates) being Supreme Commander where the P35 Crossfire configuration had driver issues.
I know you might say that results of 80 vs 100 vs 120fps do still provide useful information regarding likely performance in future games, but the fact is that they don't as the demands made on the CPU, mobo, and graphics card of a much more demanding game running at 40fps tends to be quite different to that of a current game running at 120fps. I appreciate you must have spent an awful lot of time running them all (five times each for every setting, no less) but at the end of the day they didn't really provide any meaningful information other than that there are driver issues which need to be resolved (which is what we would expect).
By the way, since you already went to the trouble of running every test five times, and discarded the two highest and lowest results to prevent them from unduly affecting an average; wouldn't it be a good idea to run the tests a sixth time so that the score you used is based on the average of two results rather than just the one in the middle? I imagine the 2nd-3rd-4th places were pretty close anyway (hopefully almost identical, with 1st place being very similar, and only 5th place somewhat slower because it was the first run), but for the sake of an extra 20% testing time a sixth run would involve, the statistical accuracy of using the mean of two results would be significantly improved.
I will reiterate though that overall the review was informative and well written; it was only the benchmarks themselves which were a bit pointless. Reply
DigitalFreak - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkThis is yet another perfect example of why ATI needs to open up Crossfire support to NVidia chipset motherboards. In the Intel space, the only supported chipsets that actually give them the bandwidth they need are the 975X and X38. I would think they would want to sell as many cards as possible. Reply
OrSin - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkSLI and Crossfire as far asIi can see are not needed for almost anything. I have a 6800 and 7900 and when I was shopping around I could not find a single reason to get another 6800 and go SLI instead just of getting a 7900. Thats the same for crossfire. SLI and crossfire support in games are just not good enough. The 6800 would have been 30% less then the 7900, but the gains would have been 60% less on a good day and no gain at all for several games.
With all that rambling it just means that the P35 is a great board, so unless you need crossifre (and most should not) get it. And dont wait for the next over-hyped product (X38). Hows thats :) Reply
PrinceGaz - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkSLI/Crossfire is never needed a good upgrade path if the next-gen product is already out. You're almost always much better off selling your old card and buying a new one from the current generation as it works out no more expensive, but provides better performance, uses less power and makes less noise, and has none of the compatibility issues associated with twin graphics-card configurations.
However, that does not make SLI and Crossfire useless. They are needed for bragging rights by people whose weekly shopping list includes having a large tub of liquid-nitrogen delivered, and by those who are worried about the size of their ePenis. The rest of us have no need of going the twin graphics-card route unless the money is burning a hole in our pocket anyway and we've nothing better to do with it. Reply
TA152H - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkYou're as bad as the people you criticize, in that you see only things from your limited perspective.
There are some situations, albeit they are very limited, where the most expensive parts are worth it. I used to work in a jet engine designing company, and they did computations fluid dynamics. They would be the absolute best products availabe immediately, even though, let's say, you'd spend 100% more for 5% more performance. Because the cost of the parts is insignificant when you're paying people $60 an hour, and they save time over their lifetime.
Having said that, I agree that for most people these weird power hungry configurations are overkill and just generate a lot of heat and use a lot of power. A lot of idiots will buy these things for exactly the reasons you state, but it's still nice for those that have legitimate reasons to have around. And there are some. Reply
Tilmitt - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkSeems like the bit about hype at the start of the article was a poorly veiled attempt to spread FUD about people who don't have NDA's posting up early benchmark results before anandtech, and consequently reducing the usefulness of the site. You'll never be able to keep up with the little guys, and badmouthing them only makes you look pathetic. Reply
TA152H - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkActually, this site is often criticized for breaking NDAs, and I think your remark is off-base. They are probably sensitive to that criticism and want to make it clear why they are reviewing something they are under a NDA on.
It's like when someone tells you a secret, you can't repeat it, unless you found it out from someone else. Because, the agreement is essentially NOT to use the information given to you by them, they have no jurisdiction over what you are able to find out on your own.
So, I think their interpretation is correct. It's entirely unrealistic for Intel to expect sites that can buy these motherboards not to review them, since Intel is not providing the information they are using, they are getting on their own. Reply
Sunrise089 - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkWonderful writing in this Gary, made my (early) morning. I still have to wonder - why is this appearing at all? I don't ask that in sarcasm, but because I've missed what apparently must have been a lot of talk about supposed, what, huge gains with R600 under P35? Since the whole intro of this article is a reference to people over hyping things, would it be possible for you to come out and say exactly what was being overhyped, for those like me who feel out of the loop? Reply
xenon74 - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkSo you are basicly saying that limited bandwidth & speed of the DMI between MCH and ICH9R on P35 is O.K. and the great difference between P35 and 975X in CrossFire is bad driver issue which is AMD/ATI fault?
TA152H - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkI don't think he said that at all, I think he said that based on the P965, the difference will be mitigated somewhat as the BIOS matures.
But, the P35 is not in the same market, it's the mainstream product and the 975 is their high end unit, so the advantages it has in CrossFire are unlikely to completely go away. Tweaking only can help so far, it can't change the fundamental hardware limitations, after all. Reply
457R4LDR34DKN07 - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkI was planing on building a new rig using this exact setup and now your telling me to wait for x38. Well at least you saved me some heartache and by then there should be R650 and cheap fast Intel processors. Reply
KhoiFather - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkSo who's buying a Crossfire setup? Is it worth it? Reply
eva2000 - Thursday, May 17, 2007 - linkHey Gary been testing P5K Deluxe myself too... have you tried redoing P5K Deluxe tests with this bios setting enabled under 'JumperFree Configuration Settings' section of the bios ?

Fox News Covers SOPA Protests The Way You'd Expect
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
The temporary shuttering of several of the internet's most popular websites in protest of SOPA and PIPA has (finally) succeeded in getting cable and broadcast news networks to pay attention to the controversy surrounding the two anti-digital piracy bills. Even Fox News is covering the SOPA protests, albeit in their own uniquely horrible way.
This morning on America's Newsroom, Claudia Cowan filed this report on the SOPA blackouts:
First, let's note what they left out of the report. Fox News' parent company, News Corp., is one of the many media conglomerates supporting SOPA. A disclosure to that effect should have been included, but wasn't.
And that leads us to what they did include. At one point in the report, Cowan says of Google's participation in the anti-SOPA protests: "Some call this ironic, since Google's business is to link users to various sites, essentially, critics contend, stealing other people's content every day."
The "some say" construction is a favorite of Fox News', and in this case we actually know who the "some" are that are saying these things about Google: News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch is a strong proponent of SOPA and very much dislikes Google, which he argues is the internet's "piracy leader" because links to websites that offer pirated content show up in Google search results.
This argument, it should be noted, makes absolutely no sense and demonstrates the profound technical ignorance of a man with huge influence over tech policy.
But it makes enough sense for Fox News, which reported the absurd spin from its parent company on SOPA without noting their parent company's support for the bill.

A stunning fall for a one time sports hero. Jay Vincent may have played on some of basketball's biggest stages, but these days he is behind bars.
"Hi my name is Jay Vincent from Foreclosure Bank Inspecting Company we are a trademark company with the federal government," said Vincent in his video pitch he made to try and recruit employees for his business.
"A former NBA player and hometown hero used the notoriety and reputation that he had to illicit trust from individuals who applied for positions with his company," said Erin Leipold, a US Postal Inspector.
Vincent sent ads all over the country looking for people to work for his foreclosure inspection business.
"When they responded they were told they needed to obtain a background check. They could either obtain the check through his company for $89 or they could obtain it on their own, which was more difficult," said Leipold.
But the background checks were never done. No inspectors were ever hired and the business had no contracts. Leipold says Vincent was just taking the fee Money.
"We estimated 18-thousand victims in this investigation and we calculated the loss at 1.4 million dollars that we could document however we think that the loss was closer to two million dollars," she said.
Sheilita Griffin says she worked for Vincent answering phones. She heard many complaints from applicants, but didn't realize it was a scheme.
"I don't believe in scamming people, in our economy and the way that our economy is going right now - people are working very hard for the money they have - so to scam people out of $89 - I don't really think that is fair," said Griffin.
Postal inspectors warn that job seekers need to be weary of online ads.
"Jobs that promise high earnings with minimal effort are most likely NOT a legitimate offer," said Leipold.
Vincent was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay more than $100,000 to the IRS for his part in the fraud case.
You should always be extremely leery of any start up costs or up front fees that are required to apply for a job. Always check out companies with the Better Business Bureau and visit the company headquarters or office address they have listed.

The most important warning sign for melanoma is a change in a mole or other skin growth, such as a birthmark. Change is also known as evolution.
Evolution of a mole means that there is a change in the size, shape, or color of a mole. Or there may be a change in symptoms, such as how a mole feels (such as how itchy or tender it feels) or what happens on the surface of a mole (especially bleeding).
Be sure to watch for a change in moles or other skin growths.
