If you do your breast exams regularly and get your mammograms every year or two, you probably think you're being proactive about breast cancer. The problem is, looking for lumps isn't as easy as it sounds. Studies show that breast lumps often aren't detectable by feel (they're not "palpable," in doctor-speak) until they're at least 10 to 15 millimeters -- the size of a dime -- and then only 48 percent of the time. It's really not until a lump is 20 mm or more that you're certain to feel it. Meanwhile, mammograms also miss approximately one in ten tumors, and they're less reliable in younger women and women with dense breast tissue.
So what works to catch breast cancer early? Science is hard at work on the problem: In spring 2012, researchers in Canada announced the invention of a sophisticated new computer software system capable of analyzing mammograms for "architectural distortion" -- subtle but specific patterns in breast tissue that can appear more than a year before the development of a lump. But that technology is years away from general use. In the meantime, top breast cancer experts say women should become as familiar with their own bodies as possible and be alert for any changes. Here are some of the earliest and most surprising signs of breast cancer, as described by the women who know: breast cancer survivors themselves.
Breast cancer warning sign #1: Pain in the breast or chest
Whether it's an ache, throb, twinge, or sharp stab, pain or discomfort in the breast or chest area isn't a good sign.
How it feels: One breast cancer survivor describes the pain she brought to her doctor's attention as a "sharp pain that comes and goes." Another describes it as "a mild electric sensation that went from my left breast to my right nipple."
What causes it: Breast tumors can take many different forms; there can be a single lump, but there can also be an area of scattered seed-like tumors or an amorphous shape with multiple tentacles extending into the tissue. The tumor might also be directly behind the nipple or in one of the milk ducts. All of these growths cause different types of pain and discomfort.
Scary stat: As many as 30 percent of all breast cancer tumors aren't lumps, which makes them harder to detect.
What to do: Keep track of when, where, and how often the pain occurs. Tell your doctor, being as specific as possible. Make sure to be clear that this is a new symptom, different from any other sensation (such as the sore breasts of PMS) you've experienced before. If your doctor diagnoses mastitis and prescribes antibiotics (a typical response to breast pain), take the full cycle. But if the pain hasn't gone away, inform your doctor and ask for additional tests. Many women are told repeatedly that they have mastitis before they're able to make clear to the doctor that this isn't the case.

The Midwest Respiratory Virus Program (MRVP) developed diagnostic tests for respiratory illnesses such as influenza. These diagnostic tests are available to help local and national providers and hospitals diagnose their patient's illness. MRVP played an important role in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic; through our close collaboration with the NIH, MRVP helped describe the epidemiology and evolution of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus.
The clinical arm of the MRVP generates weekly snapshots of viral activity in southeastern Wisconsin, which helps establish trends of viral infection in the area.

Today's starter Pat Misch and new call-up Josh Thole barely had a chance to get to know each other before being thrown into the fire together in today's game. They had a bullpen session a couple of days ago to try to get on the same page.
Other than a passed ball early in today's game, they both seemed to settle in pretty nicely. Misch got his first Major League win as he pitched seven strong innings, only allowing back-to-back solo shots.
Thole, in his first Major League at-bat, hit a single and then stole second base. His mother could be heard whooping over the radio broadcast. He would get another hit, going 2-for-5 at the plate. Not bad for his first game in the bigs.
Thole's hits were two of the 16 the Mets had today. Angel Pagan and David Wright were on fire with three hits each. Wright drove in three runs. Daniel Murphy drove in two more off a two-run homer in the ninth inning that ruined a save opportunity for Francisco Rodriguez.
Once again, the Mets showed how difficult it is to sweep a series. Even though they haven't been winning many games lately, they have avoided sweeps to the Cubs, the Rockies, the Marlins, the Braves and Phillies. That means they've won just one game in every one of those series.
The last time they won more than a game in a series was against the Giants in the middle of August when they took two games out of four. Before that they won only one game per series dating back to the end of July when they couldn't quite sweep the Rockies in a four-gamer. So, series against the Rockies have bookended a pretty bad stretch of baseball for the Mets. They earned just their 60th win of the season with today's game.
Bobby Parnell faces Carlos Zambrano when the Mets play the Cubs at Citi Field on Friday night.

THE Rowley Village war memorial, which commemorates the lives of local men killed in the Great War, is to be restored to its former glory.
Rowley Regis residents can hear about the proposed restoration of a memorial to the men from Rowley Village who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914-18.
The memorial in St Giles Churchyard is badly eroded with names no longer readable and the base and surrounding area is damaged.
The state of the war memorial was raised at the Rowley Regis Forum where it was taken up by lead member Councillor Barbara Price and gained funding for restoration.
A working group, comprising of local church wardens, Sandwell Council and the church's vicar Rev Ian Shelton, has committed to restore the memorial to its former glory and preserving the names of the fallen on more durable granite slabs.
Councillor Price said: "We are delighted that Sandwell Council and St Giles Church have been able to work together on this project.
"It is so important to honour the names of these young men, some who were barely out of their teens, who lost their lives nearly 100 years ago." Rev Shelton said he was delighted at the restoration.
He said: "It will honour not only those locally who bravely served their country in the past, but those who today, and in the future give their lives so we might live in liberty and freedom."
A public information session that will give details of the restoration will take place at Rowley Regis Church Hall, Hawes Lane on Tuesday February 5 from 10am to 7pm.

25 Things About Saoirse Ronan
How much do you know about 'The Host' star Saoirse Ronan? Here's a crash course in everything you need to know about her!
-Lucia Peters
You're probably already familiar with Saoirse Ronan; after all, her arrival on the scene as 13-year-old Briony Tallis in 2007's Atonement made quite a splash, indeed. Next, she stars in The Host, a film adaptation of Stephenie Meyers' non-Twilight sci fi novel costarring Max Irons and directed by Andrew Niccol. But how much do you really know about the young Irish actress? We dug up all the juicy facts about her that we're pretty sure you don't know—like which fantasy film series she auditioned for, but didn't get (can you guess what the role she missed out on was?).

Reviews for this host's other properties
Es war eine schnuckelige kleine und saubere Wohnung, sehr zentral gelegen. Ich komme gerne wieder.
We stayed at this apto from 18th to 21st of March. I wish we could stay more. The flat is simply superb, very spacious, clean and excelente located. Our dog loved it because the floor was cold só she did'nt feel all the heat. There is no parking space on the building but we could found one nearby when the concierge phoned Edna. I would recommend this flat for everyone who hás a dog and I would stay there again on my next trip.
We really enjoyed our stay in Richards apartment. It is relly close to the city center and the main attractions.
The flat was very clean and nice. We can only recommend it.
thanks richard, for your help.
your flat was perfect and very confortable.
we spent lovely days.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Conveniently located between Copacabana and Ipanema, but very noisy (bus pass), nice decor ... but APARTMENT utensils (cutlery pots stove ....) are all changing, refrigerator require to be defrosted time to time!!
APPARTEMENT bien situé entre Copacabana et Ipanema, mais sur rue très bruyante (passage de bus), déco sympa ...mais les ustensiles de cuisine (couverts casseroles poêle....) sont tous à changer, le réfrigérateur demanderait à être dégivrer de temps en temps !!!!
perfect located between copacabana & ipanema beach, but the flat has definitely seen better times. it helps to speak portuguese, because the cleaning woman & the concierge couldn't help us with any english or spanish.
We spent 4 nights in the apartment of Richard very quiet. To be honest, has good and bad points. Among the good, the price, the apartment is very cozy and has everything you need, from the bad, specifically general cleaning bathroom (missing until the toilet paper) and the bedding left a little to be desired, also has poor access and you go crazy until you find it (recommend taking the map from home to the location of the apartment).
Hemos estado 4 noches en el apartamento de Richard muy tranquilos. Siendo honestos, tiene cosas buenas y cosas malas. Entre las buenas, el precio, el apartamento es muy acogedor y tiene todo lo necesario;entre las malas, limpieza general y concretamente baño (faltaba hasta el papel higiénico) y la ropa de cama dejaba un poco que desear, ademas tiene mal acceso y te vuelves loco hasta que lo encuentras (recomendamos llevar el mapa desde casa con la ubicación del apartamento).
Very nice and welldisposed apartment decorated with beautiful paintings. Central location with easy access to both Ipanema and Copacabana as well as Metro.
Apartment very well located, with everything you need and nice decorated. Richard very friendly. We recommend it.

Aight... I'm jumping in. We do steak on the weekend a lot anyway so here is last nights meal. We were planning fillets and the CFO came home with 2 beautiful bone-in ribeyes-- who was I to complain!
I think the best steak preparation is simple. So I season well with Kosher salt and let sit on the counter while the egg is firing up. I do not add pepper in advance as pepper can burn, but I add plenty when it hits my plate. Once it has reached 500+ and the cast iron grate is smoking hot the steaks go on. I worked with a 2 minute timer for these and they were cooked 4 minutes per side with a quarter turn in the middle. A side salad and some grilled asparagus-- that's as good as it gets to me.
They were a little on the small side, but I made it work.
edit-- almost forgot... we had an unexpected guest show up for dinner!

Editorial: UF's present
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
Compared to the last few years of relentless budget cuts, it suddenly seems like Christmas at the University of Florida.
Gov. Rick Scott's budget proposal would give $15 million to help UF become a top-10 public university, part of the deal he made to keep UF President Bernie Machen from retiring.
But the real goodies come in the rest of Scott's higher education budget. He would restore the $300 million cut last year from state universities and add another $93.3 million to the mix. Additional money would go to information technology programs and science-related facilities.
Of course, there are strings attached. About $167 million would be allocated based on the performance of universities. Scott is also opposed to any tuition increases and wants universities to establish a fixed tuition rate that would stay the same over four years.
The latter idea is something that Machen proposed last year when he was trying to convince the Legislature to give him more power over tuition. He won over lawmakers, only to have Scott veto the measure.
So it's definitely good news that Scott now seems to be in UF's corner. But there's something that keeps us worried that there's coal hidden in the stocking.
One concern is whether the Legislature will go along with the plan. With Scott also making promises such as a $2,500-a-year raise for K-12 teachers, it's hard to believe that lawmakers will go along with everything that the governor is proposing.
Even if they supported everything, they might not even have the money, depending on what happens with the economy and how it's affected by federal budget shenanigans.
Another concern is the performance measures that will be used in allocating that particular pot of money. UF has to feel better than other state universities on this count, given that it performs better than thei do in measures such as graduation rates.
Scott is focused on measures relating to the employment and wages of graduates. It's heresy to some UF professors, but the governor is right to bring more attention to measuring the value of degrees in landing jobs. But there's also a risk of turning UF into a vocational school.
Beyond Scott's plan, the Legislature could take actions that could help or hurt UF. House Speaker Will Weatherford has thankfully backed off a little in his idea for a new, online-only university. We hope that he instead supports corralling the university system's existing online options together, an effort that UF would be well suited to lead.
Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz support incentives to increase enrollment in fields that offer the best job opportunities. Incentives like scholarships are good ways to do so, giving a positive reason for students to pick those fields. But an idea to charge different tuition levels for different majors poses the risk of defunding the liberal arts and humanities.
It seems like higher education will be a major focus of the upcoming legislative session. We hope that's a good thing, showing a new appreciation for the importance of the state university system. After several years of UF spending Christmas without any presents under the tree, it's overdue.

McCarthy Nets Hat Trick, but Lions Fall in Regional Action
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Despite rattling off five goals in the first quarter to hold onto a 5-2 lead, the No. 15 Saint Leo men's lacrosse team was unable to hold back Wheeling Jesuit as they gained the upper hand in the second half to topple the Lions by a final score of 9-6 on Wednesday evening at University Turf Stadium.
The Lions drop to 3-2 on the season, while Wheeling Jesuit, who earned votes in the latest USILA DII Coaches Poll, advances its mark to 2-0 on its young season.
Saint Leo was led by freshman Ryan McCarthy, who tallied a hat trick on the night for a game high. Matt Obermeyer, Dylan Yonts, and Chad Marino each scored one goal, while Jake Kavanagh and Ryan Burke earned an assist apiece.
The Cardinals were led by Bryce Brochu, who matched McCarthy's three goals, and added two assists for a game best five points on the night. Brian Frank and Landon Del Prince scored two goals each, while Sean Wright and Tyler Johnson each netted one to close out WJU's goal count for the evening.
Dave Moore made 11 saves on the evening, while is counterpart for WJU, Joe Amsler, earned seven. Will Cothron won 6-of-10 faceoff attempts, and led the Lions in ground balls with four.
The Lions opened the game jogging out to a three goal lead with 8:05 to go in the first period. Brochu tallied the Cardinals' first goal of the night at the 5:15 mark, but McCarthy answered back at the 2:52 mark to pull the Lions ahead, 4-1.
Frank responded 42 seconds later to pull Wheeling Jesuit to within two, 4-2, but a late goal from McCarthy with 40 seconds left in the opening quarter closed out the period with the Lions holding onto a 5-2 lead.
The second stanza was slow moving, with Wheeling Jesuit scoring the only goal of the quarter as Wright found the back of the net off of an assist from Aaron Gutentag to give the Lions a two goal lead at the break, 5-3.
The Cardinals entered into the third period and scored at the 11:54 mark on an unassisted goal by Brochu. Neither team could place the ball between the pipes until Brochu placed another unassisted shot past Moore with 51 seconds remaining in the third quarter, knotting the score at 5-5. Forty-one seconds later, Johnson gave Wheeling Jesuit its first lead of the game on an unassisted goal with 10 seconds to go in the third.
The Cardinals continued to hold onto the upper hand in the final quarter, outscoring the Lions 3-1 to secure the 9-6 south region win.

About 4 weeks ago I grilled up some ribeyes and pork steaks. The ribeyes were supposed to be for my wife's birthday but life got in the way and we wound up eating them for lunch on the Sunday after.
I didn't buy them special, just took them out of the freezer.
I know I seasoned them with salt and pepper and might've added a little olive oil prior to grilling. I can't be expected to remember things from that far back.
But I do remember that they came out nice and tasty!
I also grilled one of our favorites: broccoli and mushrooms.
And a little garlic bread as well.
There are 4 pieces of bread but I actually started out with 6. I prepped them ahead of time but when I was ready to cook them I couldn't find the plate. OK, no problem, I must've taken it either out to the garage or down to the basement. Nope, not in either of those places. Ahhhh, I know...the kid must've helped herself to them, since by this time I'd found the plate in the kitchen sink. "Erin! Did you eat the garlic bread?" "What garlic bread?" "The garlic bread that was sitting on the plate on the counter!" "No. But I put the plate in the sink because the dog was licking it." And the light bulb went on... I hadn't pushed the plate far enough back from the edge of the counter and she decided to help herself to her own lunch, but instead of knocking the plate to the floor she actually managed to take all 6 pieces of bread off of it while it was on the counter. After that she basically spent the rest of the day laying on the floor without moving much. The dog, not my daughter...although she's about that motivated sometimes.
My wife had to work that night so I grilled a couple of pork steaks for myself. The recipe is from my Good Housekeeping book and is supposed to be for tenderloin but the ingredients were simple and sounded good, so I exercised a little artistic license. The primary ingredient was fresh oregano.
I like leaner cuts of pork to have some pink but pork steaks are usually fatty enough to survive being thoroughly cooked. Ugh...looks like I had some focusing issues or a little camera shake with that last shot!
They had some nice flavor and I'm thinking about trying this recipe with an actual pork tenderloin sometime.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/11/2012 (1728 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Mayor Sam Katz said he expects the province will pay for the bulk of the costs associated with the creation of the new Winnipeg police board.
This morning, council's executive policy committee voted in favour of the police board bylaws, which govern how it will operate. The board will have the authority to hire police chiefs and act as a liaison between the community and the police service. While it will give civilians more input into policing, the board does not have input on operational decisions of the service, investigations or day-to-day operation of the police department.
It's unclear how much it will cost to operate the new board or who will pay for it.
A city report recommends Winnipeg approach the province to recover all costs associated with the board's operation.
Katz said he does not know how much it will cost to operate the new police board but the city will pay for nominal costs - such as covering the per diem of board members. He said the province has committed to pay the balance of the costs.
"Very clearly council expects them to live up to their promise and that's the only reason we moved forward on it," Katz said following this morning's EPC meeting.
The province has been contacted for comment.
The province required all municipalities to establish police boards under the new Police Services Act, passed in 2009. The legislation came on the heels of recommendations from the Taman Inquiry which examined police conduct in the motor vehicle crash which killed Crystal Taman.
City council will hold a special meeting to vote on the police board this afternoon.
The bylaw creating the board has to be passed by Dec. 1 or the city will be in violation of provincial legislation.

MEMBERS of a national charity donned wigs and hats to take a trip through the rabbit hole last week.
Representatives from the Alzheimer's Society in the South West dressed in Alice In Wonderland costumes for a tea party at the Haskins Garden Centre restaurant in Longham.
Services manager Jo Malyon, community fundraising manager Adrian Williams and volunteer Anne Scaife were joined by around 40 members of the public for the event, which aimed to raise further awareness of the support offered by the charity.
Mr Williams said: "The tea party was a great success.
"Not only did it raise valuable income to further the work of the society, but we were able to offer tangible support to individuals and families living with dementia."
Haskins' general manager Simon Morris said he was pleased to offer the centre's private Cedar room to the charity.
His staff voted the organisation to benefit as their 'charity of the year' for 2014.

Megacity could be mega-headache
Wednesday, Jan 15, 2014 06:00 am
If James Cummings, head of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, thinks that amalgamating Edmonton with smaller capital region communities like St. Albert is a good idea, he should take a look at what happened in Toronto when then-Ontario Premier Mike Harris amalgamated Toronto with many of its smaller neighbours. Ten years later, in 2008, the Frontier Centre For Public Policy weighed in on the results.
You�d think a western Canadian, conservative think tank like the Frontier Centre would support something done by the Conservative Mike Harris, right? Wrong. The centre concluded that turning Toronto into a giant megacity was a failure. The new city council became bloated and dysfunctional, and they were saying this in 2008, long before Rob Ford ever became mayor.
Debt and costs both increased, including the salaries of public servants, all of whose salaries were increased to the highest rates paid by the communities that were amalgamated. The bureaucracy itself increased too according to the University of British Columbia�s Deming K. Smith; amalgamation led to over 1,600 new people working for the new megacity. Toronto politicians, pundits and civil servants admitted that the people of the new megacity felt a major loss of confidence and disconnect from their government.
But don�t take my word in all this. You can find the Frontier Centre�s assessment online at https://www.fcpp.org/posts/its-unanimous-torontos-megacity-is-a-flop. To find Professor Smith�s evidence of all the new civil servant positions, look on page 9 of the paper at http://www.chs.ubc.ca/consortia/outputs3/Inter-municipal_Collab-Toronto_Montreal-Smith-Oct2007-ENG.pdf.
Somehow I doubt this is what Mr. Cummings wants to see if the Capital Region communities are fused together. Besides, it should be noted that the people of St. Albert and other surrounding capital region communities already make a huge contribution to the Edmonton economy by spending money at the businesses Mr. Cummings speaks for, strengthening their profits and Edmonton�s tax base. Our provincial taxes also pay for Edmonton�s infrastructure and services through the grants it gets from the province, just as Edmontonians� taxes pay for ours. The surrounding communities also pay for their own infrastructure that people rely on to get to Edmonton, such as the St. Albert Trail that�s so popular with truckers and shoppers bringing goods and money into the capital city.
We�re already all in this together, and it�s unlikely that amalgamation will help much. It�s more likely to saddle us with many of the same headaches as Toronto.

saneproductions - Sunday, August 27, 2006 - linkI just picked up a 2.66 MP 2GB and got some SATA-eSATA PCI plates to route the 2 hidden SATA ports to my eSATA drive and it was a no go. I tried both having the drive powered up then booting (system hung at the gray screen) and powering on the drive after the MP was up and running (nothing happened). any ideas?

blwest - Monday, August 14, 2006 - linkI received my Mac Pro last Friday afternoon. It's absolutely wonderful. It's also absolutely silent.
The 7300 card also isn't that bad either. I could play World of Warcraft at 1600x1200 at reasonably high settings. Expose worked very smoothly, overall the system's performance screams in comparision to Windows XP. Running stock setup like on Anand's review. Reply
mycatsnameis - Monday, August 14, 2006 - linkI see that Crucial is shipping 4 gig FB PC5400 DIMMs. I wonder if these can be used in a Mac Pro? In the past the max memory capacity that Apple has quoted (for pro or consumer machines) has generally been conservative and related more to the size of DIMMs that are generally available than any actual h/w limit. Reply
nitromullet - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkWith boot camp and a Windows XP install, is the Mac Pro Crossfire capable? I don't imagine that OS X has drivers for that, but that wouldn't be the point anyway - use the Windows install for gaming and the OS X install for everything else... Reply
dcalfine - Saturday, August 12, 2006 - linkI imagine that getting crossfire to work is a matter of simple firmware flashing. With SLI, the motherboard supports it, but the Mac OS doesn't. But because crossfire depends mostly on the crossfire card, flashing the card with Mac firmware, which often works with other cards, (see Strange Dog Forums, http://strangedogs.proboards40.com/index.cgi?board...">http://strangedogs.proboards40.com/index.cgi?board... should allow it to work. I'd be interested in trying this, if I had the funding.
Apple should be doing something to get dual- or even quad-gpu solutions on macs, since now each mac pro is a quad-processor. Reply
tshen83 - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkHey anandtech, the more interesting option for GPU is actually the QUAD 7300GT powering over 8 screens. I was wondering if Apple's OSX is able to push 3D or overlay stuff on all 8 screens like Linux could. Reply
michael2k - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkAs far as I know, Apple's been able to do this for far longer than Linux could :) Reply

OddTSi - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - linkAre there any plans for non-ad hoc, fast serial RAM or is Rambus the only one even attempting something like that with their new XDR memory? Reply
kobymu - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkThere is QDR.... Reply
michael2k - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkfb dimms, found in Mac Pros, are fast serial ram using DDR chips. Reply
OddTSi - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkPerhaps you missed the part where I said "non-ad hoc."
I know what FB-DIMMs are, but they're more of a band-aid fix or a hack than a ground-up design. Reply
michael2k - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkMaybe you misused "ad hoc". Ad hoc means unplanned and temporary. Why do you think fb-dimm is a band-aid or a hack? Because the RAM chips themselves are not serial in nature?
I mean, are you asking "Is there any designs or plans for serial memory chips?"
To be cost effective you either have to use existing infrastructure, or create a logical evolution/adaptation of the existing infrastructure. Reply
AdvanS13 - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - linkdoes anyone know apples market segment share for dual processor workstations? Reply
peternelson - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - link
1) I think a gpu swap will need drivers or firmware updating.
2) To buy a commodity sata drive is good but it MIGHT require the apple carrier in order to fit into the chassis.
3) You compare apple memory with commodity FBDIMM.
In the table you quote Apple's UPGRADE (ie on top of base machine) price against the complete cost of the memory. This makes Apple's pricing appear better than it is. Even then it looks like a ripoff, but also consider they are charging you for the base memory in with the basic system price.
aliasfox - Friday, August 11, 2006 - linkAs far as I've read, the Mac Pros come with carriers in all four bays - carriers that don't need cables (ribbon or round). Didn't know the backs of SATA drives were similar enough that they could just be plugged in. Reply
JeffDM - Saturday, August 12, 2006 - linkIt's not stated in the Anand article, but all drive carriers are included. Apple's Tech Specs page says it, although it could have been more clearly stated. For what it's worth, I think it is worth downgrading the stock drive to 160GB and spending that difference toward additional drives. Going from 250GB to 160GB saves $75, that price difference would buy you a 250GB SATAII drive. Reply
JAS - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - linkIt appears that some people managed to receive their Mac Pro quickly.

IntelUser2000 - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkhttp://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2006/06/26/xeon_wood...">http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2006/06/2...odcrest_...
Check out the memory bandwidth benchmark. Quad channel is needed to match Core 2 systems' memory bandwidth using only dual channel. Dual channel on Xeon 5100 drops to approximately 68% of the quad channel bandwidth. That in numbers is 3.8GB/sec. Not to mention Xeon 5100 series has 25% higher memory FSB. It needs 25% higher FSB and 2x memory channels to achieve the same memory bandwidth numbers the desktop Core 2's can. According to memory latency benchmarks, the latency is also significantly higher on the Woodcrest than Conroe's platform.
The chipset on the Xeon 5100 is worse in performance than the chipset on the Core 2. It will NOT beat Core 2 because of the 25% higher FSB, it will rather be SLOWER. Not to mention FB-DIMM makes it even slower.
SpecFP benchmarks also support this:
Xeon 5160(3GHz/1333MHz FSB/4MB L2/8x1024MB FB-DIMM DDR2-667): 2775
Core 2 Extreme X6800(2.93GHz/1066MHz FSB/4MB L2/2x1024MB DDR2-800 5-5-5-15): 3046
Core 2 Extreme gets almost 10% higher in the memory substem portion of the SpecCPU 2K. benchmark, even though it has 2.2% less clock speed than the Xeon 5160.
Look here: http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2772&am...">http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2772&am...
"ScienceMark didn't agree completely and reported about 65-70 ns latency on the Opteron system and 70-76 ns (230 cycles) on the Woodcrest system. We have reason to believe that Woodcrest's latency is closer to what LMBench reports: the excellent prefetchers are hiding the true latency numbers from Sciencemark. It must also be said that the measurements for the Opteron on the Opteron are only for the local memory, not the remote memory."
Xeon 5160 got 70-76ns in ScienceMark, what did Core 2 get?? It got 36.75. Xeon 5160's ScienceMark latency is higher than Pentium Extreme Edition 965's latency, and twice the latency of Core 2.
Everest shows the same thing: http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2006/0801/graph...">http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2006/0801/graph...
Xeon 5160: 99.1
Opteron 285: 57.7(seems higher than FX-62 results but this system uses Registered DDR DIMM, you can see in AT's results that AM2 further lowers latency)

dcalfine - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkOverall, I think this is a very well-designed system, and in price comparisons with Dell, the Mac Pro came out over a thousand dollars cheaper for a similar system. I may be a fanboy, but I can admit that Apple still has some work to do here. As good as the Mac Pro is, I think Apple needs to start having better video options. For starters, the X500 chipset is used, which means that there's only one 16X PCIe lane. Also, Apple should get closer with Nvidia and start working in SLI, as well as FX4500X2 and FX5500. A Vanilla FX4500 just doesn't make the cut anymore. Also, the X500 chipset supports one 133X PCIX slot, which, I think, Apple should have incorporated, since not every expansion card has moved to the PCIe format.
I'd like to see some speed comparisons between the mac pro and some pcs. I imagine that in most (if not all) test the Mac Pro will come out slightly slower than the PC due to the bells and whistles of Mac OS X, but I'd like to see just how much slower it runs, and how it runs in Boot Camp running Windows/Linux.
But, yeah. Good goin', Apple!
And AnandTech, get your hans on one of these ASAP!
vladik007 - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkFlashing PC video cards to work on G5 was possible and in my own experience also rock solid. I have 2 G5;s at home ( one 2.0Ghz very 1st released ) and 2.7ghz. PNY 6800 GT with 2120 firmware has worked for over a year now and ZERO crashes in that time in both of them.
So if PC videocards will NOT work in Mac Pro by just simply sliding in , firmware flashing will. Reply
ViRGE - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkAnand, has Apple/Nvidia/ATI commented on what video card compatibility will be like with the Mac Pros over the PowerMacs? With the PowerMacs, PC video cards were incompatible due to OpenFirmware and more importantly endian issues. The Mac Pro however is EFI and not OpenFirmware, and there are no endian issues, which gives everyone a lot of hope that the system may be able to take on vanilla 7900's and the like.
Has anyone said anything on this matter going one way or another? Reply

archcommus - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkGiven that this hardware is just like a PC and 100% x86, and given that the new OS X is designed to run on that hardware, what is REALLY the obstacle in getting OS X to run on our own Windows and Linux machines? Reply
Missing Ghost - Monday, August 14, 2006 - linkyep OSX does not use the bios. It needs efi Reply

mrgq912 - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkBack when Apple made they announcement that they were going to switch from power pc to intel cpus. I thought why intel and not amd? Now it seems that Intel must have shown them what their new hardware is capable of, and Apple didn't even need to think twice about the move. Good call by apple.
But I still won't buy closed system like Mac pro.
hmurchison - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - linkPlease don't take offense to this but that was really a silly statement. Back in the days when you had differing hardware between Macs and PCs you could say the Mac was more closed. Nowadays you have the ability to run OS X, Windows and Linux simultaneously and a lot of hardware will just plug and play with the appropriae minidrivers in the OS. Reply
mrgq912 - Saturday, August 12, 2006 - linknone taken. i didn't know that mac pros allowed you to switch video cards and memory. I always wanted to use the mac os for every day use, and have windows for games and such. But now the only thing stopping me is the price. Reply
mesyn191 - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkThey already said it was a supply and not a performance issue that made them go with Intel... Reply
hmurchison - Thursday, August 10, 2006 - linkIBM wanting more money to develop the PPC 970 didn't help either. Moving to Intel was good. Reply
michael2k - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - linkWhy not?
The only thing closed about the Mac Pro is the motherboard; every other component can be replaced (CPU via socket, memory via sticks, video cards via PCIe, HDD via SATA, ODD via IDE), and the thing boots Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Linux. Reply

Mayor Outlines How Businesses Across the City Can Take Advantage of the Grants at a Brooklyn Wholesale Food Manufacturer that is Expanding as a Result of the City's Workforce Assistance
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert K. Steel and Small Business Services Commissioner Robert W. Walsh today announced the latest round of NYC Business Solutions Training Funds to four businesses in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. The grants help businesses train new and existing employees to give them the up-to-date skills they need to grow their businesses. So far in 2011, the Department of Small Business Services has awarded nearly $700,000 in grants to 16 businesses, providing training to 300 New Yorkers and resulting in 45 new hires and an average wage increase for existing employees of 13 percent. Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Walsh made the announcement at Terrafina, a wholesale food manufacturer in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, which is expanding, adding 25 jobs and seeking to relocate to a larger facility in New York City. They were joined by New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Council Member Sara M. González and Terrafina owner James Locke.
"Creating jobs is the primary goal of our economic development strategy, and the most effective way we're doing it is creating conditions for growth and making it easier for businesses – large and small – to locate and expand in New York City," said Mayor Bloomberg. "These workforce training grants give hundreds of small businesses like Terrafina the capacity to hire and train New Yorkers and increase their wages. It's just one of the things we're doing to help businesses and New York City's economy grow, and it's working."
"Successful businesses invest in their people, and we want to make it as easy as possible for the small businesses that often cannot afford to create dedicated training programs to succeed and expand in New York City," said Deputy Mayor Steel. "These training grants allow entry-level workers to get the skills they need to be promoted, which means better wages for those workers and more openings for new entry-level workers. This combination of public and private investment is a win-win-win for employees, businesses and the City."
"As the business climate gets tougher and more competitive, employers will need their workers to develop new skills," said Commissioner Walsh. "NYC Business Solutions Training Funds enable businesses to invest in their workers, helping them acquire valuable skills that allow businesses to grow in New York City while creating new jobs and paying workers higher wages."
"Strong small businesses are critical to our City's long-term economic strength," said New York City Economic Development President Pinsky. "Whether it's infusing capital during early growth stages, increasing training for our City's already stellar entrepreneurs, or helping newly established and expanding businesses find affordable workspace, we are committed to providing resources to help these businesses succeed. I would like to thank Mayor Bloomberg, Commissioner Walsh, and all our partners in government for their efforts to ensure small businesses, as well as New York City's economy, continue to grow and thrive."
"Small businesses are the backbone of Brooklyn's economy, and these training funds will go a long way in teaching employees new skills, increasing wages and – perhaps equally as important in these tough economic times – creating jobs," said Borough President Markowitz. "Bravo to Mayor Bloomberg, the New York City Department of Small Business Services and the employers themselves for recognizing the importance of job training to make us more competitive, and congratulations to Brooklyn's own Terrafina LLC and Abtron Associates on receiving this important investment in their futures."
"Training Fund awards are one of the many innovative ways that our City is improving local businesses and strengthening our work force," said Council Member González. "I thank the Bloomberg Administration for their efforts on this endeavor and congratulate the selected companies in my District for their commitment to the betterment of their business and community."
The awards announced today – totaling more than $180,000 – will be matched by employer contributions of more than $104,000 and will be used to train 63 New Yorkers, resulting in 15 new hires and projected wage increases averaging 10 percent for currently employed trainees. Since the program's inception in 2005, New York City has awarded more than $8.1 million to 117 companies to train nearly 5,000 workers. The awards have been matched by more than $7.7 million in employer contributions. The Center for Economic Opportunity, established by Mayor Bloomberg in 2006 to implement innovative ways to reduce poverty in New York City, provides two-thirds of the program's funding, with the federal Workforce Investment Act providing the remainder.
"This unique partnership encourages businesses to invest in their employees' skills," said NYC Center for Economic Opportunity Executive Director Veronica M. White. "Together, CEO and SBS support businesses' growth and help to advance employees through improved wages and promotions."
"We have received considerable help from the City, particularly from the Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corporation, and also NYC Business Solutions with recruiting and general advice, and now these funds will allow us to better train our team, achieve greater efficiencies in systems and processes, and compete in a global marketplace," said James Locke, CEO of Terrafina, LLC. "Terrafina will be moving to a new and much larger facility in New York City later this year. We plan on hiring at least 25 more employees over the next 18 months, and we are excited about our future plans."
NYC Business Solutions Training Funds cover up to 70 percent of training costs, including external training providers, trainee and internal instructor wages, training facilities, and books and materials. The awards are administered by the Workforce Development Corporation, a non-profit organization under contract with the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
Training Funds primarily support businesses engaging in training for the following reasons: investment in new equipment or software; investment in new products or markets; teaching employees to perform new or different jobs; updating obsolete skills or teaching advanced occupational skills. Applicants are judged based upon their ability to impact economic activity in New York City, provide entry-level and current workers with career advancement opportunities, and increase trainee wages.
The most recent NYC Business Solutions Training Funds were awarded to:
An additional $500,000 in Training Funds are available. Applications for this round of funding are due Thursday, September 15 and pre-applications for the next round are due November 14. New York City businesses can apply at www.nyc.gov/training, or by calling 311 and asking for "NYC Business Solutions Training."

BOSSES at Colne Football Club have unveiled plans to take ownership of their ground in a bid to upgrade the facilities.
The club wants Pendle Council to transfer the freehold of the Holt House stadium to the club so that they are in a stronger position to bid for funding.
As well as plans for new changing rooms at the stadium, which holds 1,800 people, the club are also keen to create smaller pitches next to the ground that could be used by other teams from the local community.
Philip Mousdale, deputy chief executive of Pendle Council, said: "Colne FC is in the process of applying for funding from the Sport Foundation to upgrade its facilities.
"It considers that in connection with this it would be very beneficial to have the asset transferred to the club.
"The say it will help them with this bid and also improve their standing with the Football League who increasingly expect clubs to own their stadia outright.
"In addition, it is also asking that the council considers transferring a further area of land so that it can provide and maintain 'small side' sized pitches adjacent to where it intends to build the new changing rooms.
"These pitches could be available for use by other teams not just the club's own junior teams. This suggestion would require further discussion with the club in due course."
The Holt House land is also host to Colne and Nelson Rugby Club, and they are in the process of opening a new pavilion and building changing rooms that can be used by adults and children, and men and woman, thanks to a grant of £50,000 from Sport England.
The council recently agreed an extended 28 year lease with the club, but the club are also now considering whether to ask Pendle Council to transfer the freehold ownership to them.
Colne councillors will discuss both requests at a meeting next Thursday.

UF soccer blanked by Seminoles
Published: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 1:03 a.m.
Three first-half goals by No. 3 Florida State were more than enough as the visiting Seminoles downed No. 8 Florida, 3-0, Friday evening before 4,279 fans at Pressly Stadium — the fifth-largest home crowd in program history.
Who: Florida at FIU
When: 7 p.m.
Radio: AM-850
The win improved FSU to 3-0, while UF slipped to 2-1.
"You don't come here and win 3-0 without being a good team," UF coach Becky Burleigh said. "But I think in the second half, I was really proud of our team's fight and our desire to get back into it, regardless of the fact that we did not. Some of the things that came out of this game are going to really help us down the road."
The huge crowd saw the rivals battle to a scoreless tie through the first 26:30 of the match before FSU broke on top with a pair of goals from junior forward Dagny Brynjarsdottir a little more than two minutes apart.
Freshman forward Savannah Jordan, who had scored five goals in her first two matches, had a couple of chances in the last 10 minutes of the half to put UF on the board but was stymied, and when the 'Noles converted a Gator giveaway into a 3-0 lead with a less than a minute until intermission on a 25-yard blast by sophomore Michaela Hahn, they were in control.
Junior Taylor Burke took over in goal for UF freshman Nora Neset Gjoen in the second half and came up with a couple of solid saves, but the Gators could get nothing past Seminole senior goalie Kelsey Wys, who recorded four saves and her second shutout in three games.
"I think we came out in the second half and played like it was 0-0," junior midfielder Annie Speese said. "For the majority of the half we played in their half. We kept fighting and we didn't give up until the very last minute, and I think that says a lot about our team."
Four of the five all-time crowds at Pressly Stadium have now come in the UF-FSU series.
The Gators will try and get back in the win column Sunday when they travel to Miami to take on FIU at 7 p.m.

Mission Statement
The Student Affairs Committee on Inclusion is committed to educating the WOU Campus the many reasons inclusion and diversity is important in our every day functioning and actions. We also understand the challenges one may face when trying to find the most useful resources for the educational process. Therefore, we have compiled some of the most helpful and effective resources we use to promote and educate on the importance of inclusion. Resources vary from videos and movies, ways of incorporating our diversity competencies into your office/division employee search processes, and external sources of assistance. Please feel free to use anything we have here! If you are aware of a resource that may be suitable for the University, please contact us and we would be happy to raise awareness of it!
Upcoming Events
This may be where we want to regularly post upcoming events related to diversity?
Welcome from the Committee!
The members of the Student Affairs Committee on Inclusion (SACI) would like to thank you for visiting our website. We have provided a plethora of resources for you to take back to your office and other areas of involvement at Western Oregon University and in the division of Student Affairs. Our committee was charged to develop and promote inclusion across Student Affairs for our faculty, staff and students. SACI will also provide leadership to the University's ongoing efforts to shape an inclusive university environment.

A message from the Vice President of Student Affairs
The goal of the Division of Student Affairs is to promote inclusion at our events, programs, and within our areas. The Student Affairs Committee on Inclusion was created to address issues of exclusion on the WOU campus. On of the main efforts of the committee was to create a list of Diversity Competencies that we can strive to achieve in our work. As you review the competencies, seek ways to incorporate these concepts into your professional interactions. I also encourage you to utilize these opportunities for personal growth and development. Throughout the year, the Student Affairs Committee on Inclusion will continue to offer programming, resources, and events to enhance your knowledge based on these competencies.

…humans and chimps are not quite the close cousins we thought. Crude past comparisons of our DNA showed that our sequences were between 98.5% and 99% identical. That is indeed the case when considering single-letter differences in the DNA code, of which there are 35 million, adding up to about 1.2% of the total sequence. But there are other differences, Eichler says. The two sequences are littered with duplicated segments that are scattered in different ways in the two species, he reports in a separate analysis. These regions add another 2.7% of difference to the tally. "So the 1.2% figure is woefully inaccurate," says Eichler. (3)
[Genetically] We're not that different. But we have language, cars, espresso machines and psychotherapy. How could all that result from just a comparatively small number of genetic changes in the overall blueprint? (6)
We cannot see in this why we are phenotypically so different from the chimps. Part of the secret is hidden in there, but we don't understand it yet. (7)
"The real question about what it takes to be human is more than a biological question, it's also a theological question," Collins said. DNA "may not tell us 'How do we know what's right and wrong?' and 'What's the human spirit, anyway?'" (8)
[A] genome is like the periodic table of the elements… By itself it doesn't tell you how things work--it's the first step along a long road. (9)
[W]hat we are seeing here is a scientific shell game… Researchers are manipulating the outcomes to try and show more similarities between chimps and humans than are actually there by focusing on a single type of genetic difference. When scientists take into account all the types of genetic differences and do a more global comparison, the similarities drop from 96% to about 85%. (10)

COUNCILLORS allowances are going to be frozen in Worcestershire for the sixth year in a row - as a £2.6 million 'black hole' was filled.
Your Worcester News can reveal how the payments, which start at £9,019 and rise to £40,094 for leader Councillor Adrian Hardman, will stay the same.
The move comes after the cash-strapped county council revealed a surprise cash boost - meaning a worrying 'black hole' has been closed.
Due to more houses being built across Worcestershire, the council now says it expects to collect £4.7 million more council tax than originally expected in 2014/15.
It means a black hole of £2.6 million has been closed, with no more cuts needed to be drawn up next year on top of the £24.9 million already identified.
Due to the steadily improving economy the construction industry is picking up again in Worcestershire, and many of the homes come under band D council tax rates.
The stance on councillors allowances and the cash boost from new homes have both been revealed in a report due to be voted on by full council this coming Thursday.
It comes after your Worcester News revealed yesterday how £1.1 million has been found to save some bus routes across Worcestershire.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader and the cabinet member for economy, skills and infrastructure said: "We've been able to moderate some of our proposals due to the growth in the economy.
"But the reform must continue otherwise this council will end up in serious trouble - you don't have to look too far to see other councils already in a very difficult situation."
Cllr Hardman said: "We're in an improving position and we want to ensure we can carry on investing in the priorities for Worcestershire."
Cllr Hardman's payments include his basic £9,019 rate, and a £31,074 top-up for being the leader.
Members of his ruling cabinet also get the basic rate, and a special responsibility add-on worth up to £16,499.
All 57 politicians at County Hall cost taxpayers around £860,000 a year when including expenses.
The last rise was 2008, when rates went up 2.5 per cent.
The extra money from the homes has given the authority some more flexibility around its budget, which is under severe pressure.
The report also says the savings requirement between now and 2018 has been reduced slightly, from £103 million to £99 million.
Just under £60 million of those cuts have already been identified, with at least 600 job losses on the cards.

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

Travelers in the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport soon will be able to buy alcoholic drinks on Sunday.
Legislation allowing the Sunday alcohol sales at GSP as well as other locations has been signed into law by Gov. Nikki Haley, putting GSP on the same footing as the state's other major commercial airports.
An amendment to House Bill 3295 allows the airport restaurant vendor to purchase a temporary permit to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption on Sundays for up to a year.
Chris Langston, general manager for MSE Branded Foods' GSP operations, said the legislation is effective July 1 and the process of obtaining the permit will begin immediately after that. He said he didn't know how long it would take.
"We have a constant barrage of people asking for a drink," he said. "They look at you funny when you say you can't serve them on Sunday."
GSP was the only internationally designated airport not permitted to sell alcohol on Sunday, said Dave Edwards, GSP president and chief executive. The other airports — Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach — are in areas that allowed Sunday alcohol sales.
Edwards said he's also heard that demand for the service was there among passengers.
"We have a large international base of travelers," who often expect to be able to buy adult drinks," he said. "It's been requested by our passenger base here at the airport."
He said he has not heard of any opposition to the permit.
When the airport initially began trying to gain the ability to serve alcohol on Sunday, it was planned as an amendment to Title 55, the legislation that created the airport commission and that governs the state's commercial airports. When it became apparent that Title 55 would not be considered by the Legislature this year, the amendment was added to legislation dealing with alcohol permits.
GSP could not have gotten this bill passed without the strong legislative support of Reps. Eddie Tallon and Bruce Bannister and Sen. Harvey Peeler, Edwards said.
