(NECN) - Jennifer Lyons nearly died in a crash when she and some friends were hit by a drunk driver, and her doctor says one of the secrets to her survival was pilates.
In the crash, Lyons ended up being dragged by the truck the drunk driver was operating and was impaled between it and the foundation of a building the crash had taken out.
"Dr. Velmahos actually said pilates is something that because my abdominal core was so strong, and the way that I was dragged by the truck, he was like, 'Someone else could have been ripped in half.' He was like, 'You are so lucky you had been so strong,'" she says.
Massachusetts General Hospital surgeon Dr. George Velmahos says Lyons was in dreadful condition when she came to the hospital.
"She was very critically injured. She had a tube in her throat because she couldn't breathe and as graphic as it may sound, her guts were hanging out free from her body," he recalls.
Dr. Velmahos says it was Lyons' strength and personality that helped her succeed on the operating table.
"Jennifer clearly is a winner and I as her surgeon participated only in a very tiny bit of her recovery," he says.

Mia always had a fine booty and this time she had two friends along with her that were visiting from California. Olivia and Ariel were two sexy, black beauties were gorgeous and who were looking for some fun. Mia loves anal play and was sticking her fingers in her asshole and diving into the others' pussies in a flash. JMac and Jordan came over to introduce some cock into the game and these babes jumped on the train wanting their plump rumps to be stuffed with stiff rods. The blowjobs and ass-to-mouth play was incredible!

These days, Lisa Loeb is having her cake and eating it, too. Literally. Besides a new album in the spring and a nationwide tour with beau Dweezil Zappa, Loeb is also co-host of a funky television show on the Food Network, Dweezil and Lisa. When I interviewed the pair over a meal at their Boston hotel, however, Loeb's attitude was a bit, er, anti-dessert: Skipping the Boston cream pie she had sampled the night before, Loeb instead nibbled on a sky-high triple-decker lobster sandwich, a mountain of french fries and a spinach salad. She likes a full plate--at Sunday brunch and in her career, whose scope now extends well beyond the acoustic honesty and cat-eye specs that first brought her fame in the early 1990s. The petite poetess has played a television reporter in the 1999 horror film House on Haunted Hill, supplied the voice of Mary Jane for MTV's animated Spider-Man series and recently recorded a children's album, Catch the Moon, with her college friend and songwriting partner Elizabeth Mitchell, singer/guitarist for the New York City band Ida. And now Loeb has Dweezil and Lisa, part culinary school and part vacation slide show. Zappa and Loeb travel around the world visiting restaurants and hobnobbing with friends while professionals teach them (and the viewers) how to cook dishes from fried pickled jalapenos to chicken tikka masala.
"I had a record called Cake and Pie, and to promote the record we invited a chef to do a pie-making demo, like a serious food demo onstage," Loeb explains, casually dressed in a gray-and-white striped shirt and jeans, with a pink-and-white scarf around her neck.
"We did it sort of as a joke," says the bright-orange-clad Zappa. But, he adds, "People ended up enjoying it and asking questions more than we thought they would."
Lisa Loeb and Dweezil Zappa perform at the Gypsy Ballroom on March 4.
They approached the Food Network--home to cult chef babe Rachael Ray and "Bam!" populist Emeril Lagasse--about continuing the chords 'n' cooking trend on an existing show. The network bettered their proposal, asking them to create their own program.
"A lot of people who watch Food Network are like us," Loeb says. "We travel a lot, we eat at a lot of restaurants, we cook a lot at home." The program, in the end, became something "that emphasized how we were similar to everybody else--as well as how we're different, the fact that we are musicians and we get to travel and tour around and hang out with interesting friends."
The series' sense of normalcy permeates the "Comfort Food" episode, airing March 19. It draws heavily on Dallas for its inspiration, covering Neiman Marcus popovers and El Fenix Tex-Mex, along with the cookie recipes of Loeb's mom and the chess pie at Loeb's alma mater, Hockaday.
"It's weird and cool at the same time to be able to go into these kitchens at restaurants you've eaten at, or the school cafeteria where I ate for 11 years, and actually make the food with the people who have been making the food there," Loeb says. Sometimes, she adds, "like at the school cafeteria, you don't get to be friends with the people who work there, but you see them every day. It's weird how there's boundaries set up between people.
"But we learned with the show you can just ask anybody a question. You can usually go into anyone's kitchen--even places that we hadn't planned on going into. We were able to just ask, and for the most part they would just invite us back and we could learn things."
The duo similarly pushes their own musical boundaries with their current tour. Loeb's intricate compositions get additional oomph with backing by Zappa and a three-piece band. At their recent Boston show, extra squiggles of riffage fleshed out "Do You Sleep?" And an encore version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" built outward, one musician at a time, from Loeb on acoustic guitar into a full-band freak-out.
In between Loeb's selections, Zappa shows off some impressive technical fireworks of his own, courtesy of a blazing instrumental medley of his dad's songs, random snippets of covers--"My Sharona" and "Beat It" appeared this night--and his own work.
"I worked out things on guitar that were never meant to be played on guitar," he says. "Steve Vai, who was in my dad's band, played some of these same parts on records, and Frank credited him as playing stunt guitar, or impossible guitar parts, as they were written for horns and keyboards that have different interval leaps that are easier to accomplish--still not much easier, but on guitar it's definitely a challenge."
"Your father's music doesn't get played out, because it's so complicated, it's hard to play," Loeb says, turning to Zappa. "So for a band to be able to play it is really cool, and then for the son of Frank Zappa to be playing it, that's really cool. It's not an easy thing to do.
"This show is different than any of the shows that we've played together before, because we put a band together," Zappa says. "[But] we've done a lot of things as a duo, so it's not strange for us to mix our two styles of rock. She adds a lot of rock music in anyway, but people never think of her as that for some reason."
Perhaps that's because of the first impression many MTV viewers had of Loeb--her impassioned walk in an empty apartment for the video to the glittering acoustic gem "Stay (I Missed You)," which hit No. 1 in 1994 and helped land her a major-label record deal. Still, subsequent radio airplay for plugged-in songs "Taffy," "I Do" and "Sleep?" cemented an audience that remains fiercely fanatical today; her freshman-year yearbook from Hockaday recently fetched $66 on eBay.

But more important, these tunes preserved her underrated ability to match harder rock and stripped-back folk with literate lyrics, a talent perpetuated by her upcoming full-length, which Loeb reveals is "half acoustic, and half very produced with a band."
"I wanted to try to keep some of it as simple as possible, because that's how I play a lot of shows, just with an acoustic guitar," she explains. "I wanted the record to represent those two sides."
Indeed, Loeb is perfectly at peace with the woman who penned "Stay" ("It still feels current; it still fits in," she says) and with her modern self, with an appetite for both musical creativity and culinary expertise.
"The point isn't for us to show off how much we know about cooking," says Loeb, going back to Dweezil and Lisa. "It's to help ask questions so the viewer can learn things--sometimes, in some cases, that we already knew, but we're still asking questions. We want to make sure people might learn something from the show."

I, Lori Joffs, had the opportunity to FINALLY see Breaking Dawn Part 2 last night. This is my site and even though we already posted an "official" review, I feel I can take the opportunity to voice my own opinon. Since I don't want to spoil anyone too badly, I will keep this as spoil free as possible!
First, did I like it? No… I LOVED IT! The film has a very different feel from other films in the saga, but then so did the book! Bella is a vampire from start to finish of this film. Her relationship with Edward is different. Her relationship to pretty much everyone is different! She herself is different. Kristen Stewart has never looked more beautiful or had such a strong presence than she does in this film. She has truly transformed. Seeing the world through her vampire eyes transforms the film. So if you have grown worried from reading reviews that say this film lacks the ansgty romantic tension of the other films… well yeah! Bella and Edward are both vampires and they are married. The tension in the film comes from a different place, just as it did in the book.
The best compliment that I can pay the film is that I feel it's the best adaptation from page to screen. When the film finished I literally had to stop and think through the book to figure out which pieces were missing. There were things that were left out, but not much. What actually happens is that less time and attention are given to certain things in the film than in the book. For example…
The J. Jenks sequence is cut down to one short scene rather than a long drawn out process with a couple of visits and phone calls as it is in the book. Did I mind? No. Will you mind, probably not.
What we get in place of those somewhat missing moments are a whole bunch of extras! Most of these extras involve the Volturi, which I adored being the Aro fan girl that I am. But there is also one extra with Jacob that Taylor fans will go nuts over! Trust me. It's one of the best scenes in the film.
So much has been made over the "twist". Yes, there's a twist! And it was AMAZING! And that's all I have to say about that. Ahem!
The last thing that I took away from the film was the attention to detail. I understand that the film has to be made so that people who haven't read the books will understand it. But as someone who has been tossed deep into the Twilight universe, I always want more. The subtle nuanses and line deliveries from characters like Alistair, Garrett, Amun, and the Romanians (Oh… how I LOVED the Romanians!) were indiaction to me that the actors and films makers had done their homework. In fact, one of my favorite moments and lines come from Marcus – yes, MARCUS of all people, for the sheer fact that someone who isn't familiar with his backstory won't fully understand the line! Even the non-verbal communication between the wolves showed the film makers had a "dialogue" going on behind the scenes. Its those details that make the film really shine.
Lastly, I just want to say thank you to Bill Condon for the ending. It's always obvious to me which films are make by directors who are fans of films rather than those who just MAKE films. Given the way this one ends, it was proof that Mr. Condon was not only aware of the fandom viewing his film, but that this film was part of a whole saga. He pays tribute to the saga as a whole. As someone who has been engulfed in this saga for nearly seven years, it was touching and poinent and meaningful… and yes, it made me cry.
But don't just take my word for it! Here is what one reviewer from the San Jose Mercury News said of the film:
Fans of the "Twilight Saga" can breathe a sigh of relief.
I just got back from a Wednesday night screening of "Breaking Dawn — Part 2" and can unequivocally say you're in for a real treat. While my full review of the film won't post until Thursday morning, here's a little something to tide you over — answers to a few questions about the eagerly anticipated finale.
Is it the best 'Twilight' yet? Without a doubt. Director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg strike the perfect "Twilight" tone, playing up the campy humor while turning up the erotic heat on the romance.
Are there surprises? A couple, and even if you're a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer's books you'll be astonished by how well they This film image released by Summit Entertainment shows, from left, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Peter Facinelli, MyAnna Buring, Casey LaBow and Christian Camargo in a scene from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2." (AP Photo/Summit Entertainment, Andrew Cooper) ( Andrew Cooper )work. But be wary of spoilers since the tweaks are certain to turn into a hot social networking topic.
Who gives the best performance of the trio? Robert Pattinson. He's swoon-worthy, and has consistently been the strongest. But don't dismiss Kristen Stewart. She's impressive here as a tougher, more confident Bella. Even Taylor Lautner shows improvement. It helps that he's given some funny material.
Speaking of Lautner, does he keep his shirt on? Most of the time…However.
Will the movie appeal to non-fans? I expect so. This is a highly entertaining, suspenseful finale that satisfies on many levels.

State retirement system to reduce pension checks
For the first time in its 26-year history, the state retirement system will reduce pension checks for its state and local government retirees.
Preliminary figures said the state's Core Fund lost 26 percent of its value last year, ending with about $58 billion. That means pensions entirely funded by the core account will be reduced 2.5 percent.
Those who had up to half their investments in the state's Variable Fund could get double-digit reductions. The more aggressive Variable Fund lost 39 percent of its value in 2008.
The exact amount of the benefit cuts will be determined next month. They'll affect about 145,000 retirees from state and local governments and school districts throughout the state.
The city and county of Milwaukee are not part of the system since they have their own program.
State Investment Board director Keith Bozarth said last year was one of the most challenging ever and the state's money managers probably handled it as well as most others.
He also said the state will not abandon its investment strategies in order to be in a solid position once a recovery begins.

Veteran reporter David Novarro is heading back home to WABC. The Chicago Tribune says Novarro is making a return engagement at Channel 7 where he spent 19 years.
In 2000, Novarro left New York for the Fox-owned Chicago station WFLD. Much of his time there was as morning co-anchor until being replaced this summer. (One of the new co-anchors is his former WABC colleague Corey McPherrin.)
Since leaving WFLD, Novarro was close to joining Fox 5/WNYW on their Good Day Wake Up newscast. However, sources say a deal couldn't be worked out.
A WABC spokesman did not return messages to FishbowlNY.
In his last stint at WABC, Novarro was a weekend morning anchor and weekday general assignment reporter.
Novarro, a graduate of New York University, is a multiple Emmy winner.

(Reuters) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (TEVA.TA) said on Wednesday it would sell Allergan Plc's (AGN.N) generics business in the UK and Ireland to India's Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd INTA.NS for 603 million pounds ($769.37 million).
The sale was part of Teva's deal with the European Commission to get approval for the acquisition of Allergan's generics business, called Actavis Generics.
The company said it expected the sale to close in the next three months.
Teva (TEVA.N) completed the $40.5-billion acquisition of Allergan's generics business in August.
Actavis, which closed its $70.5 billion acquisition of Allergan in May 2015, had retained the Allergan name.
Greenhill & Co is Teva's financial adviser, while Rothschild & Co is advising Intas.

According to Kurt Salmon's Restaurant Spending Trajectory, consumer sentiment ticked up last month, suggesting restaurant sales could follow suit this fall after declining in May and June.
"Consumer sentiment is volatile, so we are looking for a month or two of additional increases to have confidence this bump will translate into sustained spending growth," said restaurant strategist Todd Hooper. "Food prices are likely to increase as a result of this summer's drought, which could dampen sentiment this fall. Still, we see a chance for spending to flatten out for the rest of the summer and begin to grow again in early autumn. Overall, industry sales remain strong—and considerably above pre-recession levels. Consumers are clearly finding reasons to eat out."

Most dependable Cars, Model year 2003Posted by Dwayne under Automotive News
1 Comment
Here is an interesting study from J.D Power on the most dependable cars. The survey questioned 47, 620 original owners of cars and trucks of the 2003 model year. The survey gives all problems equal weight so all problems minor or major show up the same, however it does give a pretty good idea of the reliability of the car or truck.

A farmworkers group that persuaded several fast food chains and grocery stores to pay an extra penny per pound for tomatoes is taking on supermarket giant Publix.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers kicks off a three-day march Friday morning to try to persuade the Florida-based supermarket chain to pay more for its tomatoes and to take a stand against abusive work conditions in the fields.
The 22-mile march begins in downtown Tampa. It ends Sunday at Publix headquarters in Lakeland, Fla.
Supporters of proposal say the extra pay would make a huge difference to tomato pickers, but Publix says it doesn't set the price for pickers. The chain says that's done by growers and packers.

If not too many people mind, let's digress from comparing Y30k sushi courses and Ryugin visits for a sec...where's the curry good?
Here's what I know about:
- In Jinbocho, I've been to both Ethiopia and Sumatra, and was impressed by neither. Too 'Indian' style for me, since I like the fattier, sweeter Japanese style
- In east-side Kanda, I really like Budoya (written in kanji, 'grape room') because they had a sort of vegetable-based, Japanified take on the Indian style. And I like the atmosphere and owners.
- Around the corner from there in Kanda is Hongokutei (you may call it 'moto-ishi-tei' if that helps), which is a weird curry-and-whisky place with suited staff and spicy curry (in a better way)
- In west-side Kanda, and also in Nihonbashi (Kyobashi) and also in Tokyo Station, there's Dom Pierre (actually called Loup de Mer in Kanda), which makes, I think, the best purely Japanese-style curry I've had. I'm a little suspicious of it because they sell their curry mix at the register though...
What else is worth trying? The older and grubbier (call it retro if you want), the better! I haven't been to Manten, so go ahead and recommend it. Extra points for places I can walk to from the office (Otemachi).

I just got off the phone with Orioles reliever Jim Johnson, who had plenty to say about his right elbow, his motivation for the 2011 season and all the changes that have been made to the roster.
Johnson lives in Sarasota during the winter, so he basked in 70-degree weather today while many of us braced for more snow. His in-laws live in Annapolis, so he's fully aware that we're not working on our tans.
Johnson played catch again today at Ed Smith Stadium. He's been throwing for the last three weeks and should climb a mound for the first time in about two weeks. That's pretty much his normal routine, though he's done more "rehab-style" exercises because of his right elbow. Johnson also forced himself to rest for an extra week before getting back to the gym.
Johnson was limited to 26 games last season because of a slight ligament tear in the elbow, but he said it's been "a non-issue."
"I've stayed in touch with the trainers, and our minor league medical coordinator lives here in Sarasota, so he stays on top of things and makes sure I do what I need to do," Johnson said. "Everything's been progressing nicely. I can't complain.
"I've been working out really hard. Everything seems to be coming together."
Johnson has tracked all of the Orioles' moves during the winter, including the signing of reliever Kevin Gregg, who took his physical today.
"Yeah, we've added a couple guys," he said. "Obviously, Kevin is a good one to add. Anybody that has been in the American League East before and pitched like that, I think he brings a lot to the team. And I'm glad we re-signed Koji (Uehara). I know him and his sideburns are legendary in the city of Baltimore. I think they need to come up with a new promo for that."
Could Johnson's role change this season?
"It could be different. There could be a lot of different things, and I think those questions will be answered in spring training," he said. "I'd like to give you an answer right now, but Buck (Showalter) is going to come to his own conclusions on how he wants to do things, and he'll probably see how things work out in spring training.
"Unfortunately, injuries were a problem with Koji and Gonzo (Michael Gonzalez) and everybody else, it seemed like. We had a rash of injuries across the 'pen. I hope that's not a problem this year, but I think we're in better shape where we can pick each other up much easier."
I'll post more from Johnson tomorrow. I'll also pass along quotes from Gregg after the conference call.

FORMER England star Joe Cole is hoping Adam Lallana starts against Italy tonight.
Cole, who this week signed for Aston Villa, believes the Saints skipper can play an integral role for an England side capable of springing big surprises.
"He's very similar in style of play to me. I really like him," said Cole.
"I always had a keen eye on him watching him come up through the leagues. "He looks at home in international football and I hope he plays."
Cole believes England have a "great chance" of winning the World Cup in Brazil.
The 32-year-old, who featured in England's previous three World Cup finals squads, said: "It's going to be exciting and I think we have got a great chance of doing it.
"I agree with what Wayne Rooney has said - it's the best squad England have had in years.
"The reason for the lower expectation is that these young players in the squad are at the start of their careers.
"They're not pivotal players in the big squads in the country - but they will be.
"They've got a great chance and it's perhaps their best chance as well because in four years' time they'll all be established and there'll be a massive load of expectation on them.
"For me, looking from the outside, all the stars seem to be aligning. I think they'll do well."

Leila Navidi / Las Vegas Sun
Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010 | 2:10 a.m.
It's been more than two decades since Andy Gabel won a silver medal in the winter Olympics, but the Summerlin resident still remembers the once-in-a-lifetime feeling of standing on the podium for the awards ceremony.
It's a moment that instantly brings a smile to his face.
"I don't think about the Olympics that often, but when it does pop into your head, it's an awesome feeling knowing you were one of the best in the world," Gabel said.
Gabel, 45, a speed skater who spent 19 years on the national team, reached the pinnacle of the sport at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, when he was part of the 5,000-meter, short-track relay team that took home the silver medal.
He'll surely have flashbacks to his years in the spotlight when he returns to the Olympics at the end of the week, working as a television commentator for Universal Sports. Even though he won't be lacing up his skates or racing for his beloved red, white and blue in Vancouver, Gabel knows where his mind will be — dreaming of winning another medal.
"You get that feeling of excitement," Gabel said. "Your juices will be flowing and you will want to compete again. With the Olympics in Vancouver, it will feel a lot like it did in (2002 at Salt Lake City). The country pride will be strong."
Gabel competed in four Olympics (1988, 1992, 1994, 1998), won more than 75 international medals and was inducted into the speedskating Hall of Fame in 2003.
Dan Jansen, who won speedskating gold at the 1994 Olympics, calls Gabel one of the sport's legendary performers. The two have been close friends since joining the national team together as teenagers in the late 1970s.
"Before Apolo Ohno, Andy was the face of short track in the United States," Jansen said. "The sport didn't get the recognition back then that it obviously gets now."
Gabel's journey to the Olympics started as a 10-year-old at a Chicago-area rink. His parents took him to an open house at the facility, and he instantly took a liking to the sport.
Within months, he was winning state and regional events. And, three years later, he was off to Colorado Springs, Colo., to continue his career at the Olympic Training Center.
"I was lucky enough to have some talent," Gabel said. "I had a knack for it and loved the competition."
However, Gabel's career also had a few disappointments.
This most notable came during the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, when Gabel was favored to win the gold medal in the 500-meter. Fresh off setting the American record at the Olympic Trials in 43.032 seconds, the then-33-year-old Gabel came up short in the semifinals when he clipped a lane marker and tumbled into the padded boards.
"My heart was literally in my throat and still is when I think about it," Jansen said. "It still hurts him and it still hurts me."
Gabel, who has lived in Summerlin the past four years, is still involved in the speedskating. In addition to his television work — this is his third Olympics in the broadcasting booth — Gabel has been an active member of the International Skating Union and serves as the chairman of the group's short-track technical committee.
He's a perfect fit to continue the legacy of the sport, Jansen said.
"It's hard for Andy to talk about himself, but he is a legend is our sport," Jansen said.

Ivy Bridge-E: Intel Core i7-4960X Processor Review
Power Consumption, Perf per Dollar, Closing Thoughts
Power Consumption Testing
Our power testing was done with the discrete graphics card installed but idle (obviously). Cinebench 11 was used to get our CPU load values but all measurements are for the full system.
Even if you didn't find the performance improvements of Ivy Bridge-E to be particularly interesting, you have to give Intel some props for the power consumption benefits found in the move to 22nm! At idle, the Core i7-4960X is using 10 watts less power while under a full CPU load the difference is 25 watts. Considering you are getting a performance increase this drop in power consumption, even for processors that were both rated at a 130 watt TDP, is impressive to see and will make enterprise buyers ecstatic.
Yes, the 4960X is still using quite a bit more power than the i7-4770K Haswell CPU but at a significant performance advantage in threaded workloads.
Performance per Dollar
One thing we wanted to take into consideration with this review is the idea of performance per dollar. To get some interesting data I selected three benchmarks (7zip, Cinebench 11 and x264 v5.0) and included current pricing from Newegg.com (or Amazon if out of stock on Newegg).
The projected MSRP of the Core i7-4960X is a staggering $990. Obviously a better option for performance per dollar would be the Core i7-4930K but without that part in our possession I was hesitant to attempt to "emulate" the performance levels of it without control over things like cache size.
Obviously the new Extreme Edition IVB-E isn't going to win any value awards, but Intel has never made that claim. It DOES improve over the current top SNB-E part though and for workstation and enthusiast users the choice is pretty obvious.
Closing Thoughts
Intel tells us that the Core i7-4960X should be available within the next two weeks with system builders and in the typical retail and e-tail channels.
Intel's new line of Ivy Bridge-E parts pretty much falls into line with what we expected when we first got word about the official specifications of the CPUs. Moving the microarchitecture from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge results in a very modest performance gain in terms of IPC and the clock speed increase are really only 100 MHz (or, if you count the later released Core i7-3970X part, 0 MHz) left us with performance gains of 3-13%. Considering that SNB-E was already considered the highest performance system you could buy (for multi-threaded content): if you can gain another 10% on that, in select workloads, then you have an easy win.
The other side of this story tells us that single threaded workloads are still better on Haswell, which also happens to be quite a bit cheaper. When SNB-E first launched it was another 6 months before Ivy Bridge was released on the mainstream to usurp it in terms of architecture. Ivy Bridge-E is not so lucky, arriving 3 months AFTER the release of the next generation microarchitecture from Intel. Thanks to the 6-cores on the i7-49xx processors they are able to maintain performance leads in multi-threaded workloads but in many other tasks are slower or just barely as fast as the sub-$350 Core i7-4700 series.
Obviously there are other reasons to pick IVB-E over Haswell, the most prominent of which is PCI Express support - with 40 lanes the platform supports 3-Way and 4-Way multi-GPU configurations that Haswell struggles with. Quad channel memory and support for up to 64GB of system memory as also great for high-end users and content creation On the other hand, the lack of USB 3.0 integration on the chipset and only having two SATA 6G channels native show the shortcomings of X79.
Ivy Bridge-E on the left, Haswell on the right
So should you buy an Ivy Bridge-E processor over a Haswell processor for your next system? In my view the ideal buyer for an IVB-E rig is one that wants to use at least two graphics cards, possibly three or four, needs expansion for PCIe storage and wants the ability to crank the memory capacity up near the peak. If you don't meet that criteria, chances are good you'll get much better value and features by selecting a Haswell system.
Only the select few need apply for the Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge-E processor - the fastest and most expensive desktop processor on the market. If you want the best of the best for your gaming PC or workstation then you won't do better than this.
"...a set of three of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX TITANs. At $999 MSRP, the TITAN is the fastest single GPU graphics card on the market and running three of them in SLI gives us a total of 18GB of graphics memory (!!)."
No it doesn't. VRAM is mirrored in SLI/CF. Therefore, three Titans still effectively have 6GB of VRAM.
IF your a average gamer ....don't bother.
Love one but just cannot get over the price.
Not to be fanboy ish but shouldn't gamers be moving to 8 core
AMD. I know intel is faster, but two years down the road into xBONE and PS4 life cycle it might just be an advantage.
8 Core is great, but from what I've heard, most games aren't well optimized for 8 cores.
Hence why most gamers used to recommend the 2 core CPU (Duo/Dual). Now, 4 cores is preferred. Eventually, most games will be optimized for 8 cores. I do recall seeing some new games that when it detect additional cores, it will utilize them.
However, note that more cores means lower clock-speed (Ghz) per core. So if you can't use those additional cores, performance is decreased.
As for other usages such as high computing task, 8 cores are recommended (e.i. Adobe software).
Cheers! :)
I'm sure none of the reviewers have wanted to do this, for obvious reasons, and we probably won't know till more are in the wild, but I'd love to know if these have soldered IHSs or if I need to continue my tradition of de-lidding these things. It will influence my decision to a reasonable degree. I haven't seen mention of this on any of the reviews so far.
I've seen it somewhere.. Ivy-E is soldered to the IHS.
Any plans to test PCI Express 2.0 vs 3.0 on the "E" platforms?
There just isn't the single threaded IPC gains that we need for anybody to justify an upgrade from Sandy Bridge onwards. There's also no gains in overclocking headroom either, which makes the processor a pretty lackluster offering over the last generation from Intel.
What's up with the slow memory latency of the 4960X? Does having 4 memory channels affect the latency?

Hundreds of teenagers showed up to the State Capitol with one very important message on Friday.
As part of Tobacco Free Day, the West Virginia Youth Tobacco Prevention Program announced that there has been a decrease in tobacco use among middle and high school students between 2000-2011.
Bridgeport High School Senior Rachel Brown is president of the teen advisory council for RAZE.
RAZE is a teen-led organization that's been dedicated to fighting tobacco since 2001.
She lost her grandfather, Eddie Brown, a few years ago after he smoked and used chewing tobacco for decades.
"My freshman year, he died from lung, liver, and pancreatic cancer. He had surgery but he had a blood clot in his lung," she said.
Brown is not alone. Many of the other students at the event shared similar stories.
"I have a loved one who's actually affected right now, she has two types of cancer. One is type four non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the second is stage four bone cancer," said Kimberly Robinson, senior at Poca High School.
According to new statistics, tobacco use has decreased by 28 percent among the state's high school students and 43 percent among the state's middle school students between 2000-2011.
Breanna Rinko is a student at Philip Barbour High School. She she came to Charleston to learn how she could help her fellow students stop using tobacco products.
"We have a lot of students at Phillip-Barbour who use chewing tobacco and smoke cigarettes and we just want to find a way to help make them stop," she said.
RAZE is funded by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources and the American Lung Association.
Students hope their presence will send a strong message to the state legislature that it will need continued support to thrive.

There have been a bunch of celebrity shockers this week, but probably none bigger than the rumor that Two And A Half Men star Ashton Kutcher is cheating on his wife, Demi Moore!
At first, we all thought this may be a fake out like Will and Jada Smith, but the evidence is building and where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
We'll get you up to speed with all the latest on this possible celebrity split!
It's being reported that Ashton allegedly cheated on his wife of 6 years in San Diego on the weekend of their wedding anniversary…ouch!
Since the scandal broke, the mistress in question has completely gone off the radar, canceling all her social media accounts.
But for Ashton and Demi, there's been some shady things going down on Twitter!
It appears that Demi actually unfollowed her husband for an unknown amount of time and only recently decided to follow him again.
On the other hand, Ashton is trying to shoot down all these rumors by reaching out to his fans:
Carson also uncovered an email sent to TheDirty.com by one of the mistress' alleged friends. It outlined in very specific details what happened between Ashton and "the other woman."
Take a listen:
Meanwhile, Ashton was spotted in Hollywood yesterday wearing his wedding ring, so the jury is still out over whether this power couple is officially headed toward Splitsville.
- Do you think Ashton and Demi are really dunzo? Vote in our poll!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Community leaders are calling for action to address the growing number of abandoned houses in neighborhoods south of Interstate 630.
"It's just very frustrating to see this because it's an eyesore," said Stop The Violence Coordinator Reverend Benny Johnson. "It just burdens my heart when I see the mayor breaking ground on Robinson Center renovations which I don't have a problem with but our black neighborhoods need revitalization too." There are more than one hundred abandoned homes within a 20 block radius around Central High School in Little Rock. Johnson is reaching out to city board members in hopes that something will be done to address the growing number of empty homes.
"One thing I've recognized is that crime is strongest where sense of community is weakest," board member Ken Richardson told THV. "We say we want Little Rock to be the next great southern city, aesthetically you don't want anyone to see this."
Richardson says the city needs to step up enforcement of neglectful homeowners and offer more incentives for new homebuyers in the neighborhood. "It's not anything we want our young people to grow up and feel like this is part of their city," Richardson said. "We need to identify folks who are renters and maybe provide incentives to become homeowners."

"With patience and persistence I have established a relationship of trust with villagers and traditional birth attendants", says midwife Sri from Bandung, Indonesia. Back in 2003 she opened her private practice at home, alongside her work at the Regency Government Hospital at Ujung Berung in West Java to make maternity services in her region more accessible. For Sri it was not only infrastructure that posed a challenge but also the culture to deliver with a traditional birth attendant called "paraji". Paraji are often older women with no formal education in midwifery, who have attended many births and provide care based on their experience and ancient traditions. These practices are deeply rooted in the culture but often do not take necessary skills into account to prevent mortal complications.
Sri desperately wanted to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in her region, but she knew that she couldn't just impose her midwifery skills on the people. "I started walking from house to house in several villages to find out who is about to give birth this month", recalls midwife Sri her initial efforts. She wanted to make herself visible and accessible to the childbearing women as well as the parajis. Whenever the villagers sent for her, by night, in the early morning or during the heat of noon and in pouring rain, Sri would always show up. She was there, no matter the time or the weather. Often when Sri came to the village to assist in a delivery, she would find people asking her for more medical advice. She never hesitated to help; she provided medication or referred to the doctor. With her willingness to help beyond midwifery care she demonstrated her sincere intentions and was able to show the villagers that she was there for them. Midwife Sri was often the first contact in the health system for many of the people in the village and thanks to her services they were able to develop trust for other health workers. "Being the first point of contact, midwives are Ambassadors for other health workers", is Sri convinced.
She continued to work alongside the paraji in the villages and also incorporated some of their practices into her care such as massages or the use of certain herbs. Acknowledging and integrating the parajis practices when they are beneficial for the mother's and newborn's health, helped to further develop the relationship. Parajis now trust midwife Sri so much that they bring their patients to Sri's practice at home. This change of behavior was also supported by a new governmental rule that deliveries at a midwife's practice are free of charge and there is a monetary incentive for parajis that refer their patients to a midwife. Sri now also is consulted in difficult cases, for example the case of a breech position (the baby's feet are facing the uterus instead of the head). The mother was advised by a Gynecologist that she needed to have a cesarean, but she was much too scared of such a surgery. She then decided to give birth at home with a paraji, who immediately called midwife Sri. When Sri arrived, she was shocked to be dealing with a breech birth and also felt uncomfortable working against the regulation, as breech positions are not allowed to be delivered at home. Sri admits that she often feels confused about the government's regulation and the real situation demanding immediate action and care for the patient. Also in this situation, for the sake of the mother and the baby, midwife Sri left regulatory demands behind and fully concentrated on the birth. Baby and mother are healthy and happy and very grateful to Sri. It is for these situations that Sri worked so hard for almost a decade to establish trust with parajis. That they would call her in such delicate moments and she would be able to intervene, provide midwifery care and save lives.

Blogger Trish Burgess writes for the Free Press
No sooner has the Commonwealth Games finished than the Edinburgh Festival begins.
We're having a quite a Scotsfest at the moment and I couldn't be happier.
As you have probably gathered by now, I am married to a Scotsman, but my love of all things Scottish began many years earlier when I took up Highland dancing. I became rather good at it, reaching the dizzy heights of the North of England Beginners Champion in 1973 at the tender age of nine. In the few years that I competed, travelling from Newcastle over the border to Scotland on several occasions, I amassed quite haul of medals; 50 in total. I was quite lethal in the Sword Dance and I was told my Flora Macdonald's Fancy was a thing of beauty.
Since meeting Dougie, in 1987, I have visited Scotland many times, usually to see his relatives, but often just to have a holiday.
A driving adventure on the west coast, a drizzly stay on Loch Lomond and a surprisingly warm Easter break in Perthshire were all fantastic breaks.
I also recall a fortuitous day trip to the Glasgow Science Centre in 2005 where we happened upon the Commonwealth Games baton on its tour from Manchester to Melbourne.
Rory, aged 11 at the time, was asked if he would like to be photographed with some other children holding the baton and was given a T-shirt as a souvenir.
Of course, Dougie being from Edinburgh, we did tend to favour the capital more than most locations in the country.
Many a day was spent climbing Arthur's Seat or walking the Royal Mile. Yet, despite this link with the capital, I have never yet made it to the Edinburgh Festival.
The nearest I've got to it was an afternoon at the Edinburgh Playhouse to see a production of Starlight Express, made all the more interesting by the presence of a chap signing for the deaf at the side of the stage.
I found his movements mesmerising and since then have been unable to sing along to the chorus of the opening number without making a sweeping arc with my right arm followed by a couple of choochoo motions with both hands.
Easter this year was spent in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, excellent cities for short breaks as there is so much to do and many museums are free.
I can recommend the Burrell Collection in Glasgow and the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh for great days out.
Hampden Park has been transformed into an athletics stadium for the games but take a tour of its football facilities with one of the knowledgeable guys there and you'll have a brilliant time, whatever your nationality.

Awesome. You see, when something new comes out, you expect people to work on the artwork (Like so) right away, and it's either pathetic, rushed, or just not good. You, sir, took your time, and came out with a masterpiece. Love it.

If you want to make adjustments or to set the height and the width of the element that you are working on then it is the CSS dimension properties that you need to tweak a bit.
The CSS Dimension Properties
There are several things that you can adjust using the CSS dimension properties.
- height
- max-height
- max-width
- min-height
- min-width
- width
Now we would be looking more deeply within each property and how you can adjust them.
CSS Height Property
This property is used for setting the height of the element on a page. Keep in mind that the height property does not include the values for the padding, the margin and the border. Here is an example of a code for the height property:
p.ex { height:200px; width:200px; }
CSS Width Property
This property is used for setting the width of the element on a page. The width property does not include the values for the padding, the margin and the border. Here is an example of a code for the width property:
p.ex { height:200px; width:200px; }
The Max Height Property
This is the CSS property that sets the maximum height of an element. Here is a sample code for setting the mx height of an element:
p { max-height:60px; }
In this example, the max height that has been set is 60 pixels.
The Min Height Property
The min height property is the property used in defining the minimum height that would be used for an element on a page that you are working on. This is usually defined using pixels as a measurement for the height of the element. One thing that you need to remember is that in setting the min height of the element, it would not affect the height of the border, the padding and the margin that surrounds it. Here is an example code showing how the min height can be defined for a sheet:
p { min-height:200px; }
In this example, the minimum height set for the element is 200 pixels.
The Max and Min Width Properties
These properties are used for defining the maximum and the minimum width that can be used for the elements. As with the height properties, it only affects the actual elements. It would have no bearing at all on the border, the margin or the padding that surrounds the element. So when you are setting the min and max width, you just have to consider the element itself. Here is an example of a code setting the max-width property:
p { max-width:100px; }
In this example the max width has been set at 200 pixels. Now here is a sample code that sets the minimum width of an element:
p { min-height:50px; }
In this example the minimum height of the element has been defined to be at 50 pixels.
The dimension properties of the CSS are some of the most basic properties that you should learn to use. It can be very useful in making the sheet look like the way that you wanted it.

A little girl sits in the courtroom witness box, testifying to the horrific things her dad did to her.
Then, she looks to her father sitting at the defense table and waves: "Hi daddy!"
It's not uncommon for abused children to give mixed signals about their abusers when testifying, and that is one of the many challenges prosecutors face when trying to convict abusers.
Staci Gray / Staff
Carmen White speaks at a Child Abuse conference at the Civic Center Thursday afternoon.
Order a print
That's what Carmen White and Felicia Wasson, Dallas County assistant district attorneys, said Thursday during the fifth annual Multidisciplinary Approach to Child Abuse Conference held in Lubbock.
When children behave inconsistently on the stand, such as waving to their abuser, it can create doubt in the minds of jurors. Therefore, prosecutors must make jurors aware of the emotional toll abuse plays on children and how the emotional confusion can lead to children hiding the abuse, recanting their story or acting affectionately toward their abuser, White and Wasson said.
"You're not going to teach the jury something they didn't already know," Wasson said, but it helps them realize these issues are things they may see in the courtroom.
There are several reasons why children express affection for their abuser, such as the other parent still loves the abuser, the abuser is nice to the child most of the time or just that the accused is a close family member.
Jurors who are not aware of those issues may doubt the child's story.
It's also not uncommon for abused children to recant their stories, White and Wasson said.
Children may feel pressure or guilt from siblings and family about possibly putting their family member in prison. The case also could be disrupting the family environment or be the cause of the children being put in foster care. There also may be feelings of love or need for the defendant.
Delayed outcry about the abuse also could hinder the prosecution because jurors may wonder why the victim did not come forward right away, White and Wasson said.
The reason for that is simple: children are embarrassed and uncomfortable with the situation and don't always tell an adult immediately. They also can be confused about what is happening.
A jury that is aware of these issues is better able to assess the case, White and Wasson said.
