Edward William Barton-Wright C.E., M.J.S. (member of the Japan Society) (1860–1951) was a British entrepreneur specialising in both self defence training and physical therapy. He is remembered today as having been one of the first Europeans to both learn and teach Japanese martial arts and as a pioneer of the concept of hybrid martial arts.
Early life[edit]
He was born Edward William Wright on 8 November 1860 in Bangalore, India, the third of six children of railway engineer William Barton Wright and his wife Janet. He had a twin brother, who died shortly after birth.[1]
After returning to England with his family during the 1880s, Barton-Wright was educated in France and Germany. Following matriculation, he worked as a railway clerk before embarking on a career as a civil engineer and surveyor. He worked for railway and mining companies in locations including Egypt, Portugal and the Straits Settlements (modern day Malaysia and Singapore). In April 1892 he legally assumed the name Edward William Barton-Wright.[1][2]
Establishing Bartitsu[edit]
In a 1950 interview Barton-Wright professed to having had a "lifelong interest in the arts of self defence" and earlier interviews indicated that he had studied various fighting systems during his travels as a young man. While working as an antimony smelting specialist for the E.H. Hunter Company in Kobe, Japan (c. 1895-1898), Barton-Wright studied jujutsu in at least two styles, including the Shinden Fudo Ryū in Kobe and Kodokan judo in Tokyo.[1]
Upon returning to England in early 1898, Barton-Wright combined these martial arts to form his own method of self-defence training, which he called Bartitsu. Over the next two years, he also added elements of British boxing, French savate and the la canne (stick fighting) style of Swiss master Pierre Vigny.[3]
In 1899, Barton-Wright wrote an article titled "How to Pose as a Strong Man", detailing the mechanical and leverage principles employed in performing various feats of strength.[4] He also produced a two-part essay entitled "the New Art of Self Defence" which was published in both the English and American editions of Pearson's Magazine.[5][6] Excerpts of Barton-Wright's articles were re-printed in numerous British, American, New Zealand and Australian newspapers.
In 1900, Barton-Wright established the Bartitsu School of Arms and Physical Culture at 67b Shaftesbury Avenue in London's Soho district. The school offered classes in a range of self-defence disciplines and combat sports as well as various physical therapies involving the electrical application of heat, light, vibration, and radiation. Club members included soldiers, athletes, actors, politicians and some aristocrats. During the next few years, Barton-Wright organised numerous exhibitions of self-defence techniques and also promoted tournament competitions at music halls throughout London, in which his Bartitsu Club champions were challenged by wrestlers in various European styles.[7]
In 1901, Barton-Wright published additional articles that detailed the Bartitsu method of fighting with a walking stick or umbrella.[8]
In The Adventure of the Empty House, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, referred to Bartitsu (misspelled as "baritsu") in explaining how Holmes had defeated Professor Moriarty in hand to hand combat at the brink of the Reichenbach Falls.
Later life[edit]
By 1903, the Bartitsu Club had closed down. Subsequently, Barton-Wright mostly abandoned self-defence instruction in favour of his interests in physical therapy, although he was rumoured to have continued to develop and teach Bartitsu privately into the 1920s.[1] Barton-Wright established a series of clinics at various locations throughout London, and continued to work as a physical therapist for the remainder of his career.
His therapeutic business, specialising in the use of various electrical appliances to treat the pain of gout and rheumatism, was viewed with suspicion by the London medical establishment and was subject to bankruptcy proceedings on several occasions during the first three decades of the 20th century. These included a damaging and acrimonious suit brought about by Wilson Rae, a former employee who had become a business rival. Barton-Wright's financial problems were compounded by a series of investments in unsuccessful inventions and other ventures, including an electrical display planned for an Amsterdam music hall.
E.W. Barton-Wright was not included in his father's last will and testament, although he did execute a portion of the will on behalf of one of his brothers, who was named as a beneficiary, in 1915.
Comparatively little is known about Barton-Wright's life during the period 1930-1950. From 1938 onwards, his medical clinic was in his own home, at #50 Surbiton Road, Surbiton.
In 1950, Barton-Wright was interviewed by Gunji Koizumi, the founder of the London Budokwai judo club later that year he was presented to an audience at a Budokwai gathering, as the pioneer of Japanese martial arts in Europe.[9] Barton-Wright died in 1951, aged ninety, unmarried and under circumstances of some poverty, and he was buried in an unmarked grave at Kingston Cemetery in Surrey, England.
It was not until the late 1990s that E.W. Barton-Wright's historical significance was recognised, largely via research carried out by British martial arts historians Richard Bowen and Graham Noble.
In 2004, members of the Bartitsu Society initiated a fund-raising project towards commemorating Barton-Wright, in honour of his pioneering work in the martial arts.[2][10]
Barton-Wright was the subject of dedications in both the 2005 and 2008 volumes of the Bartitsu Compendium and the annual Bartitsu School of Arms and Physical Culture conference (2011–present) is also dedicated to his memory. His life and career are detailed in the 2011 documentary Bartitsu: The Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes.
In June 2012, Barton-Wright was commemorated via a wall display in the Sherlock Holmes Collection at Marylebone Library and via an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. In February 2013 he was featured in the BBC Four Timeshift documentary Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting: the Rise of the Martial Arts in Britain.

State of the Arts
Singer Linda Radtke [1] was sifting through the Vermont Historical Society [2]'s collection of Vermont songs in Barre — about 1800 pieces, dating back to 1798 — when one caught her eye. "Forward Together" was written by a Richford-born woman named Arwin F.B.G. Sexauer for the state celebration of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976.
It was the only song by Sexauer the Society had. But at the back of the manuscript, Radtke — an alto soloist from Middlesex and a founding member of the choral group Counterpoint [3] — discovered a startling collection of newspaper clippings about Sexauer's achievements dating from the Cold War. They described the warm responses of kings, queens and heads of state all over the world to songs about peace Sexauer had mailed them from her home in Montpelier. Primarily a poet, she had written the lyrics; her second husband, John Garellick, a composer and disabled World War II veteran, set them to music.
In one clipping, says Radtke, "The King of Thailand — the same king they have now — called Washington and had the ambassador fly a private plane into Montpelier airport" to present Sexauer and Garellick with a thank-you gift. Anwar Sadat of Egypt sent an Arabic lute; Israel's Golda Meir sent a shofar (an instrument made from the horn of a ram); and letters came in from six American presidents and the rulers of Korea, Afghanistan and the Philippines, among others.
Intrigued, Radtke tracked down Sexauer's sister in Enosburg and daughter in Rhode Island. The two women shared boxes filled with more than 100 songs their relative had written over her lifetime (1921-1992). Sexauer and Garellick, it turned out, had sent abroad more than 60 original peace songs over 22 years.
To honor this nearly forgotten Vermont peace crusader, Radtke created a narrative concert interweaving Sexauer's songs and life story, which she first performed as part of a concert in Montpelier last August on what would have been Sexauer's 87th birthday. This Sunday she'll reprise that performance, accompanied by pianist John Lincoln and joined by singer-songwriter Elisabeth von Trapp [4], who will sing her own songs about peace. The concert is co-sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council [5] and the Vermont Women's History Project [6], an initiative of the Vermont Commission on Women [7]. According to VWHP Director Judith Irving, the performance is part of the Project's effort to sponsor events beyond Women's History Month in March — and, she says, "It's a wonderful opportunity to bring some fantastic performers together."
Von Trapp of Waitsfield, granddaughter of the couple fictionalized in The Sound of Music and another musician with a lifelong interest in promoting peace, has what she describes as a "serendipitous" connection to Sexauer. In the mid-1980s, she visited the Soviet Union to perform with Project Harmony, a musical and cultural youth exchange program initiated during the Cold War by teachers at Harwood Union High School. During one concert in Siberia — "the furthest from home I had ever been," von Trapp recalls — she performed a haiku she had set to music. When she received Radtke's copies of Sexauer's music a few months ago, von Trapp discovered that very same haiku at the top of one of the songs. Sexauer had jotted it down there as an introduction to her song about peace.
The concert will take place, appropriately, in a little-known but longstanding and prestigious private women's club in Burlington, the Klifa Club. Von Trapp arranged for the venue through her friend, club member Rae Worthen. Radtke relates that Eleanor Roosevelt was once an invited speaker. Rarely open to the public, the club will host a wine-and-cheese reception after the concert.
Radtke says there is much to learn from Sexauer — a farm girl who never finished school but became an "idealist and a self-made woman," who reared two children and outlived three husbands. "What I love about her is that she worked from her little corner of Vermont to bring about peace," says the singer. "And she really felt that if people all put their minds to peace, it would really happen. It's a great lesson: to not just say, 'I'm not important enough, I can't change things.'"
And singing, Radtke adds, "is a way for people to come together. It's not a small thing; it gives people idealism."

A remarkable Régence ormolu mounted inlaid kingwood régulateur de parquet
Second quarter 18th century, after a design by Juste-Aurèle Meissonier, the later associated movement by Jean-Baptiste Baillon, Paris with dial by the enameller Georges Merlet
In the form of a lyre on plinth mounted with a grotesque mask and raised on gilt scroll feet, the trunk rising from ormolu foliate scrolls flanking gilt rod "strings," the hood surmounted by ormolu putti and trailing foliage, (some mounts probably associated), the hinged gilt bezel enclosing a restored white enamel dial signed on the reverse, "G. Merlet," Arabic minute numerals enclosing Roman chapters with gilt fleur de lis half hour marks, pierced and engraved hands (minute hand repaired), the associated movement signed "J. B. Baillon A Paris," with arched plates secured by four pillars, dead beat escapement with center seconds (hand lacking), spring pendulum suspension secured to the back plate (lacking pendulum), endless cord to going and striking trains wound by arbor though dial, striking on a bell mounted above the back plate by means of a crossed out numbered countwheel and vertical arbor (hammer lacking).
height 90in (228cm)
Fuhring, Peter.
Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier: Un Génie du Rococo, 1695-1750, Turin (1999)
A clock case of identical form has been identified by Fuhring as one designed by Meissonier and sold by the artist Charles-Antoine Coypel in a 1753 auction to the eminent French horologist Julien LeRoy. That clock, which has been widely published, has a unique complicated astronomical movement by Claude Martinot dated 1727.
Fuhring also illustrates what is almost certainly the present clock as it appeared when sold at Christie's London, 9 July 1931. Lot 92. Although some mounts seen in the 1931 image are now missing from the present clock, the remaining are identical. At that time, the clock had a more appropriate Regènce style chased gilt dial with enamel cartouche chapters. For some reason, that movement was removed and the upper portion of the trunk altered to accommodate the late 18th century Baillon movement.
The clock with its current surviving mounts and a white dial appears as the property of French & Co., illustrated in J. Aronson,
Encyclopedia of Furniture
, 3rd Edition, 1965, p. 220. The clock was subsequently sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, 9 October 1971, lot 147.

My birthday is this Sunday. I will be turning 25 years old.
I know 25 isn't old, but that is not my concern. When my dad was 25 he was in medical school that he claims was easy to get in to. When my brother was 25 he was living comfortably and not scraping by like me. When my grandparents were 25 they had a house full of babies and still maintained their impeccable style. When my great grandpa was 25 I'm pretty sure he was already a grandpa. I know one day I'll get to all of these things, but isn't 25 the age where I should at least be on my way?
A week ago I was on my way to JFK to attend my little sister's college graduation ceremony. I sat there, alone with my thoughts; ruminating about how hard New York City is, how whenever people say, "New York is hard" they're really just talking about the transportation system, and about the last three years living here since I had my own graduation ceremony. The train whirred by and in an instant I felt it, that feeling you get when life does not seem comfortable; I am turning Twenty Five. 25. And what have I even done?
What do I mean when I say done? I don't know this answer. If I did, I would be right on my way to doing it. I do know that the minute I turn 25, whatever I do end up doing, will not be as impressive as if I'd already done it at age 24 or below. No one is going to say "Look what she did! And she's only 25!" I will pass this threshold on Sunday.
My sister's graduation was lovely, but seeing her and her friends so full of hope for their futures made me squeamish. They felt that they'd really done an important thing by graduating (I'm sorry, Sister, but college was your time for working at cool places that don't pay you and naps), and rather than bitterly state that they might be as unfulfilled as me one day, I was just jealous that they might actually have their paths figured out and three years down the line they'll be someone I Facebook-friend out of jealousy and voyeurism. I could barely take it.
Luckily, there were tons of 24-year-old siblings attending graduation too. We gathered on the lawn that day while our little brothers and sisters took photographs of each other. They did not know what we knew: that they would quickly stop being friends after a few years. It occurred to us that we must stop complaining and embrace the truth, maybe even comfort ourselves, because being 25 is different now.
If you are 25 or turning 25: It's OK that you have not gone to grad school. It's also OK if you're thinking of going to grad school. And many may not agree with me, but I think it's OK to apply to grad school because you still haven't found a job in this economy.
If you are 25 or turning 25: It is OK to be married and have a baby. Your single friends would have judged you (and did judge you) for doing these things when you were 22 because you were so young or whatever, but you are now in the safe zone at 25. Please, do these things. The majority of 25-year-olds enjoy a good baby now and then.
Also: You don't need to be married or have a baby.
If you are 25 or turning 25: It will be hard to find people to do drugs with you, so find other stuff to do. Happy hour is great because you can get tanked at what is essentially the late afternoon and be in bed by 9 p.m. It is OK to be in bed at 9 p.m. 25 is young, but you should never apologize for sleep because, like I said, your time to nap was three years ago.
If you are 25 or turning 25: TV can be really important to you.
If you are 25 or turning 25: No one wants to hear about your six-month trip backpacking on some other continent where you found yourself. Interesting people talk about hilarious emails they received at work that day.
If you are 25 or turning 25: It's OK to just have a job and not a career. Saving for a house may not be plausible given that you still lack experience, but paying your own bills is something you can do now. Find a job at a company that doesn't underpay you the way yours did at 22.
And on that note: It's OK if you're not doing what you love. But find someone who will let you do it for free on a weekend.
If you are 25 or turning 25: You don't have to own a brownstone in Brooklyn or a condo in Chelsea. But -- and this is just an idea for those of you looking for a career change -- you probably still have the looks and the young-person charm to get your real estate license and see a lot of those condos from the inside and take photos of the view, please.
If you are 25 or turning 25: I hope you're not still dating your college boyfriend or girlfriend. And if you are, congrats! Have a baby, please. No one will judge you for that anymore.
If you are 25 or turning 25: Don't compare yourself to your parents. Things were different for them when they were our age. This is so much easier said that done, but once accepted, life feels a little more comfortable.
And lastly: I have no right to give advice, I only know how it feels to lose your way. I'm not saying things get better, because I have no idea if they will. I just know that when I stood on that lawn and watched the young graduates, I missed my home in New York. I missed my friends and my partner and the Meatball Shop. We can't control the economy or our entry into grad school, but we can laugh with one another and slowly pay off our credit cards.
It was beautifully silly of me to pack my bags and my diploma and come to New York City saying, "Get ready for my greatness, NYC!" At the time, I felt something inside of me that just belonged here. I wish that all of us -- the millions of us -- who moved here saying those exact same words could feel that energy again, and considering I am young, maybe I will feel it in the future. Maybe one day I'll know what it was that I came here for and be happy to know that I found it long ago -- when I made best friends, fell in love, and changed to a job that allowed me to support myself without any help from my parents.
If I had to say that I did anything in the last three years, it was that. I did it. I am lost, but I made it here.

Organising and paying bills
TSR Wiki > University > Student Life > Finance and Money Management > Organising and Paying Bills
Once you have signed for your house, you need to decide what bills are going to have to be paid? There are several you should keep an eye out for
- Electricity
- Gas
- Water
- TV Licence
- TV Cable and Sky
- Telephone
- Broadband
- Council Tax
- Food Essentials
Some such as the TV Licence and the Council Tax come as bills usually come as one lump sum and are easily paid off quickly as most people come to university with a decent amount of money from the summer. In most cases you do not have to pay council tax as you are students. See the Council Tax page for further details.
When it comes renting a house, the payment of bills needs to be well-considered. If not, groups of friends can be left in difficult payment situations. To prevent this happening you should set up a house bank account, which everyone pays a reasonable amount of money into at the beginning of each term when the loan comes through.
If you have any meters in your house for measuring electricity, water or gas, note down the numbers on them on the day you get the keys from the landlord. This means that you are not charged for domestic supplies you have not used.
Contents |
Previous tenants debts
If a previous tenant has run up debts for anything you should refer the company requesting money to your landlord or agency who should have their contact details on file.
First thing you must do when you receive your keys is read the meter, take a note of it and keep it in a safe place (just because you phone it in does not mean the supplier won't lose it somehow). You need to then find out who supplied the property. You can do this by looking for any welcome letters, asking the landlord/agency, or phoning MPAS. Make contact with them as soon as possible and register all the students in the house for the date your tenancy started (you are liable if your tenancy started in July even if you don't move in until September). It is important you have everyones name on the account as if there are any unpaid bills you don't want to be getting chased for them.
Have a look around and see where you can get the best deal, websites such as Energy Helpline will be able to do a comparison for you. Also note some landlords will not let you change supplier, so check your tenancy agreement. While you are switching or before you switch make sure you are not on a standard tariff, there is nearly always a cheaper tariff available, however you may need to register online for certain tariffs. It is also always cheaper to pay by a monthly direct debit, if you do go this way keep an eye on your monthly payments as they may dramatically increase.
The two most common meters found in a property are a general one rate meter where all usage is charged the same and does not depend on time of day, or there maybe an Economy 7 meter. An Economy 7 meter is a two rate meter which counts your usage in the day and night periods separately, these are most commonly found in all electric properties where there are storage heaters and hot water immersion boilers, these take advantage of a cheaper night rate but do have a slightly more expensive day rate. If possible, when on an Economy 7 meter, try and use heavy usage items during the 'cheap' hours, such as washing machines, tumble dryers etc.
Avoid estimate bills by providing meter readings regularly, at least every 3 months, and most importantly take a meter reading on your last day of tenancy and provide this to your supplier; you don't want to be paying for the next tenants.
First of all you need to find out if you are supplied with gas. This should have been made clear to you when you looked around the house
To find who your gas supplier is, contact the National Grid's 'Meter Number Helpline' on 0870 608 1524.
Commonly known as the rates, Water bills are sometimes paid by your landlord as part of your rent. You should check this before you move in. It should be stated in your contract.
In Scotland, water rates are free provided you have registered your student status with the local council. This is usually sorted out in University Halls of residences and only applies when privately renting.
TV Licence
TV Cable and Sky
Cable and Sky are optional, but some people like to have the comforts of sports and movie channels and the main suppliers of broadband (Virgin Media and Sky) offer some very good packages for TV if you get their broadband packages too.
Many student houses do not need a telephone connection unless their internet connection demands it.
Almost essential in a student house. Ensure you check the contract and do not sign up for a longer than 12 month contract.
==Council Tax==compare gas
Food Essentials
The dynamics of food purchase will vary from house to house. You should discuss this matter with housemates, but will most likely purchase most or all of your groceries alone. If housemates choose to share their food and to cook together, all should contribute fairly to the overall food bills.

Let me show you a treadmill that could do all that and so much more yet maintain a very affordable price.
How do you know when you need to purchase your own treadmill? It's when you realize how important it is for you to work out but don't quite have enough time to go to the gym. But don't just go out to buy your own treadmill just yet. Treadmills cost a great deal of money so choosing one out of hundreds of models is not an easy task. You may ask yourself, "What features would benefit me the most in a treadmill?" Are you looking for one that has many programs or is easily stored? Let me show you a treadmill that could do all that and so much more yet maintain a very affordable price. Here's some information on Kettler Pacer Treadmill.
Key Features:

Thank you for visiting the website of the Institute on Disabilities. We hope that you find the site informative and that you learn about something that can help you, your family, or someone you know!
As we reflect on 2012, we acknowledge that though not without its challenges, the past year has been filled with exciting change and great accomplishments.
Shortly after assuming the executive directorship on January 1, 2012, we launched the innovative web-based "Visionary Voices," a collection of video interviews and paper archives from people who played a significant role in Pennsylvania's Intellectual Disabilities Rights Movement. More than 250 guests joined us at the Independence Visitor Center in historic Philadelphia to celebrate the launch and donate funds to help continue the project.
Just a few months later, we were awarded six new grants encompassing a wide range of activities. Each project helps us achieve our vision of a Pennsylvania where all people are valued and respected, and where all people have the knowledge, opportunity and power to improve their lives and the lives of others. Read about the grants in "Temple Today."
Just a few weeks into 2013, we were awarded two more grants—You will be hearing more about these and other projects in the coming months. "Like" us on Facebook to follow us and get the news first!
We encourage you to become part of our work. Each month, we offer a many ways for people with disabilities, family members, students, educators and other professionals to learn, share, lead and to improve their lives. In April, our Mini Course Lecture Series will welcome Allan I. Bergman, a nationally recognized leader in influencing the development of policy on "best practice" service for people with disabilities. He will be giving an important and timely talk on managed care and long-term services and supports for people with disabilities. Check back for more details on date and location.
To support our work, please consider contributing to one of our select projects or to the Institute in general. Your money will help us serve more people with disabilities and their families, and the people who support them. It will help us enlighten the next generation of teachers, doctors, therapists, and others, and will help ensure that ALL Pennsylvanians have what they need to be equal, successful members of the community. The Temple University on-line form makes giving easy - just go to the "donate" section of our website
Thank you for your support and have a great year!

In a world rife with concrete and pressing problems such as hunger, disease, and genocide, the issues surrounding web censorship may seem to be unimportant or even trivial. However, for a few reasons, education and action on this topic are vital in the increasingly connected world of today.
When the internet was created, it formed a mode of communication that allowed unprecedented freedom of expression. Through the web, individuals may connect to one another directly regardless of geographic distance. This new bond allows the exchange of ideas to be unhindered by bureaucratic rhetoric that has hampered communication and distorted perception in the past. The result of this interconnectedness is to bring citizens of varying backgrounds to a more comprehensive and educated understanding of other countries and cultures.
By denying its own citizens full access to the internet, a government not only obstructs the people from educating themselves about a variety of issues, but in fact isolates the country from the new global community. The web can be seen as a leveling of the information playing field, and by refusing to allow certain pockets of humanity to access this resource, it only ensures a greater disadvantage to those left in the dark. For instance, the world wide economy is becoming progressively more interdependent, and it is only logical that an informed citizen can make wiser economic decisions than his uninformed counterpart. In addition, freedom of information among individuals can forestall the escalation of issues that affect only a few powerful leaders of countries. Propaganda is much less likely to mobilize public opinion when contradictory information is available at the click of a button.
Because of these examples and many more, internet censorship can be seen as a root cause of many concrete issues that face our society. Breaking down these artificial barriers of censorship will allow the world to address more pressing problems in a more connected and educated manner. In creating this website, we hope to shed some light on the problem of web censorship. We wish to educate those who are free to access information about the process of, problems with, and progress in internet censorship.

Christmas is around the corner and Diplo's record label, Mad Decent, did not skip a beat in releasing a compilation with all your favorite tunes tweaked with the Holiday spirit. It almost sounds too good to be true as one might think, "Moombahton, dubstep, big room...holiday jingle?" But rest assured, once you listen to this compilation composed of 8 tracks, you'll be pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the mixtures of jingles and bass. Take a listen to this new seasonal release and if you decide to play it at a Holiday party, you can buy the release on iTunes here.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City has become one of the top photo ops of the year for style bloggers, not to mention an important badge of merit and success. In the past, a ticket to a designer's show represented acceptance and influence within the fashion industry for a blogger. Now, however, it appears that many of these personal-brand empires, big and small, are going to have to find a new way to participate in Fashion Week as IMG, the company ultimately responsible for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, has decided to discontinue inviting many of the bloggers that have become recent fixtures at Lincoln Center.

Pacha New York has become a staple venue for renowned DJs to spin for the night. From DJs like Avicii to Laidback Luke, Paul Oakenfold to Mat Zo, nothing says you've made it as a world class DJ quite like getting to feel the enigmatic New York City club vibe from the dance floors of Pacha. Celebrating their 8 year mark in the New York City nightlife scene is nothing short of a momentous step for Pacha New York's co-owner and President, Eddie Dean.
We snagged an exclusive interview with the nightclub honcho, and he shared what it's like to be behind the successful Pacha name, and his grattitude for the fans who have kept Pacha NYC running for so long.
Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Warner Bros. Man of Steel sequel. The film, titled Batman vs. Superman, will also star Ben Affleck in his Batman debut and Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman.
Director Zack Snyder said in a statement, "Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."
EDDIE: Danny and I were in a band together some years back and we eventually all went our separate ways. A couple years later Danny had started writing a lot of songs from the piano and asked me if I'd help record some tracks. Luckily I brought my guitar that first day we got back together and it started the process of us writing and producing an entire album over the next year. That was the birth of Lost In Los Angeles, which was taken from the name of an unreleased EP from our prior project. We then found Clark Souter and we knew we had the perfect writing and performing crew.
You all are well-known for being incredible storytellers through your music. Where do you draw inspiration for your songs?
DANNY: Lyrically, it all comes from that swirling passion of life that makes you want to dream big, love large and live powerfully. And the three of us all share that energy, so the vocals, guitar, bass, piano, synth and other melodies are really a common language that we all share.
Do you have a set songwriting process?
D: When those passionate thoughts intertwine with our collective instrumentation, the writing process overflows like crazy. We can't wait for this next record because we have some much material. So many stories to tell.
We've read that some of your craziest touring experiences come from karaoke. What's your go-to jam?
C: All Right Now by Free. Because it's a classic sexy rock song and it makes crowds do a lot of sexy stuff.
What do you think makes you stand out from other bands?
E: We don't have to answer to anybody but us and our fans, so that means our songwriting is coming from a really pure place. It feels like we are able to translate our emotions directly into our music, which really tends to connect with fans.
You recently re-released your single, Because Of You. What's the story behind that song?
D: Eddie came into the studio one day with a guitar riff that was really cool. I had been inspired by an incredibly beautiful girl (see our album cover) the lyrics flowed out in mere moments, followed by Clark's bass lines. A few beats later we knew we had some magic going on. The song is a reminder that when you keep your heart open, beautiful things will happen.
What's been the biggest challenge that you've encountered as a band trying to make it in today's industry? C: There's so much music released today, and with such crazy frequency. Probably the biggest challenge is keeping up with the frantic pace of writing, producing and releasing music. But it's a challenge that we are blessed to have!
Calling all Clockwork fans- today marks the day when he releases his new remix of Kaskade & Project 46's melodic house tune, "Last Chance." When Henry Steinway aka Clockwork aka RL Grime, performs under the moniker Clockwork, one can expect progressive house tracks with funky and heavy bass drops. His latest remix delivers just that. Clockwork has been having a prolific year while performing for major festivals like Ultra Music Festival and EDC Las Vegas. His latest remix debuted back when he performed at EDC Vegas and now it's on Soundcloud for devoted music fans. You can buy the track on Beatport here.
Swedish Wunderkind, Adrian Lux, is a busy man. This month, he is headlining his own tour, the Wild Child Tour, all around North America but that still hasn't stopped him from giving his fans an exclusive earful of his deep, indie-house music.
This past weekend, Adrian Lux played his never-before-heard original mix at STORY Miami, and now he's premiering this set on Vice THUMP to show fans what they can expect on his latest tour.
This original mix shows the musical spectrum which Lux encompasses from his own original tracks to his remixes of Sasha, Hot Chip, Moby, Crystal Fighters, and many more. As he's currently on the road supporting his upcoming sophomore release on Ultra Music in 2014, Lux is making airwaves in all the major cities around the US.
Last night, only the elite were invited to party with none other than P Diddy himself. The rapper-turned-businessman hosted beats by Dre. This lavish nightclub featured numerous VIP areas and plenty of women!
When a world leader and advocate of peace passes away, the world obviously awaits with bated breath to see what Paris Hilton has to say on the matter. "RIP Nelson Mandela. Your 'I Have a Dream' speech was so inspiring. An amazing man," she "tweeted" after she learned of the passing of Nelson Mandela.
Clearly, Paris had confused the former South African president with the already dead, African-American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr. and the tweet dominated internet headlines. However, Paris turned the tables on her critics when it was revealed the tweet was fake.
Inside Llewyn Davis, the latest installment in the Coen Brother's canon, depicts a time and place that not even the most hardcore Dylan fans will recognize. Stripped of its nostaglia and mystique, Greenwich Village is an entirely different character, filled with cramped, cheap apartments, cluttered coffeehouses, and the litter of broken dreams. Most music biopics tell a fast and loose story a young man crooning tunes in the studio and then belting them out in front of screaming fans before succumbing to heroin. Llewyn Davis takes a different approach, using a minimalist style to convey the stark realities of the starving artist.

Since I don't have cable and use my TV for streaming shows and surfing the Internet, I was pretty stoked to receive the Logitech Couch Mouse M515 ($50) for review. Made to be used on your couch, bed, or carpet, the M515 has a sealed easy gliding base so you don't collect dust or fibers while you're mousing over fabrics. That's great news; since there are no openings on the bottom, you won't find a need for canned air on this mouse!
I spent a few days with the Couch Mouse, and as expected, loved it. Not only does it glide effortlessly over my futon cover, duvet, and low-pile carpet, but I was pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness. It was quick and consistent no matter where I used it. Coming with two AA batteries and a tiny USB receiver (and I mean tiny — don't lose this thing!), I plugged in, and was working away in seconds. The Couch Mouse really lives up to its name, but I had a feeling that you could take it beyond the sofa. Find out where else I got the Couch Mouse to work in this slideshow, and be sure to check out our Facebook page to see why I think all manufacturers should take a cue from the Logitech M515's packaging!
Watch Google TV on Your HDTV With the Logitech Revue System
As Google TV prepares for its official launch, Logitech unveiled its anticipated Logitech Revue with Google TV, a compact companion box with controller providing easy access and control over your Google TV experience.
The Logitech Revue connects to your TV and cable box through HDMI ports and walks you through a quick, onscreen setup process. The included keyboard controller allows you to navigate between web content and shows, as well as dual cable and web viewing. Included with the box is a keyboard and touch pad controller, which lets you adjust your TV's volume, change channels on your cable box, and access your DVR.In addition to the main box, Logitech also announced two great accessories, plus apps for your phone. Find out more after the break.
Pump Up the Style on Your Desk With a Logitech Mouse
Being the style-conscious geek that I am, I'd totally go for one of these new Logitech Fantasy Collection mice that add a bit of color and pizazz to my desktop space. Coming in a range of colors and styles, this rainbow number just happens to be my fave (and comes in at the lower price point at $30). $30 for a mouse, you ask? Well, sure — the Logitech M310 is contoured to fit leftys and rightys, discreetly plugs into your USB port for wireless mousing, and lasts up to 12 hours on a single battery. The M305 model ($40) even comes with a smart WiFi-ready battery so you never lose connection. Smart, indeed.
Trinalina's Favorite Gadget: Logitech Squeezebox Radio
This post comes to us from our My Favorite Gadgets group member, trinalina:
My favorite gadget, hands down, is my Logitech Squeezebox Radio. I got it originally because I'm a Rhapsody member, and loved the idea of listening to Rhapsody without leaving my laptop on, or killing my iPod Touch. I use it for so much more though! Facebook stream, Flickr stream, Pandora, and countless radio stations that I would have never found if I wouldn't have been messing around with the Squeezebox. There's also an app for my iPod so I can control it from other rooms. The music lover that I am could not live without this product!Have you waxed poetic about your favorite gadgets in our community group yet? If not, get to it — it may end up being featured on GeekSugar! Want to know how to get started? Then just keep reading.

Logitech Hears Our Cries For a Comfy Lap Desk
My love affair with my Dave laptop table from Ikea is still going strong, but there are times when I want to use my laptop in bed, and a table isn't gonna cut it. Amen for Logitech, who have just come out with a new and improved LapDesk! This beauty, which I spotted on Coolest Gadgets, can be yours for $40 from Amazon. The Comfort LapDesk is lightweight, features four-layer heat-shielding, and you can use the twelve-degree angled riser to position your laptop however you want. All that, and it's not to shabby to look at!
Love It or Leave It? Metallic Blue Logitech Mouse
Whenever I go on a trip, I usually take the wireless mouse by Kensington. Although it's super cute and portable, I find it's not practical enough for everyday use. In a few weeks, Logitech will be releasing this V470 cordless laser mouse for laptops. Given its durable design, it's perfect for at home or when you're out and about. The device comes with Bluetooth technology (up to 30 feet) and can last up to four months on one set of batteries. Priced at $50 and includes a protective pouch. Let me know how you feel about it below!
Flying Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse
Am I the only person who is pretty darn excited to try out the MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse from Logitech? Releasing this August, the device will cost $150 and will work on your desk or in the air. That's right folks, you can use the MX Air to browse and play your favorite media because the sensor transforms hand motions into natural, responsive cursor controls. You adjust volume by waving to the right or left and skip tracks with a flip of the wrist. Sounds a lot like the wii-mote, the Nintendo Wii Console controller, to me!

Who Should Win the AL MVP Award: Miguel Cabrera or Mike Trout?
If history is any lesson, things don't always work out as they're supposed to.
Just ask Ted Williams, who won the Triple Crown in 1942 and 1947, but was not awarded the MVP trophy in either year.
Now, Miguel Cabrera stands at the doorstep of MLB's first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski accomplished the feat in 1967, but will he face a similar fate as the "Splendid Splinter?"
Some think he just might.
Mike Trout has assembled what can only be described as one of the greatest rookie seasons in baseball history, a season worthy of an MVP bid.
But, how do you shut out a player of Cabrera's caliber who has 44 home runs, a .329 batting average and 137 RBIs?
It just depends on how you assign value to the impact each guy has had on his team, and as history has proved, you can win a Triple Crown and not be the league MVP.
See how Bleacher Report national lead writer Dan Levy breaks down the choices and leave a comment below.

Retired department store executive joins race for Leonia Borough Council
LEONIA – A retired department store executive who is running for the Borough Council this fall said he wants to use his professional experience to help boost Leonia's downtown business district and lighten the tax burden on residents.
"I believe I can help develop a model to attract businesses to town," Mark Minichiello said in a press release issued Tuesday by the Democratic Municipal Committee.
Minichiello, a former Leonia school board member, will face off against an independent candidate, Maureen Davis Havlusch, a schoolteacher who has been an outspoken advocate for the borough's Fire Department, to fill the unexpired term of I.S. Pak.
Pak was elected to a three-year term in November but resigned in July.
The press release made no mention of the controversy surrounding the Fire Department, which started in June when a developmentally disabled teenager who wanted to join the department was arrested for allegedly molesting the 3-year-old son of a firefighter who was in the building at the time.
The borough shut down the 115-year-old department following the arrest but reinstated it two days later with new restrictions that barred firefighters from the building except for emergencies and equipment maintenance. They recently were permitted access to the building to do paperwork.
The borough's actions prompted the fire company to sue while pitting firefighters and their supporters against borough officials and their supporters at public meetings and in online forums. Council members are now considering replacing the ordinance that governs the Fire Department with a new one that gives the borough more oversight and requires physicals and background checks.
The seat is one of three that will be on the November ballot, with Democrats running unopposed for the other two seats. Darryl Whittier, an incumbent, is seeking a second term. Bernadette Flaim is running for the seat that will be vacated by council President Peter Knott, who is not seeking re-election.

One of the most interesting parts of the new NHL CBA – THANK GOD IT'S FINALLY DONE – is the introduction of "compliance buyouts." Contract buyouts have been around for a while, but this new variety, which are designed to help teams get under the cap in 2013-14 when it falls by six or so million dollars, are different insofar as there is no cap penalty.
Under the old system, when a contract was bought out, the team saved money, but still had a portion of the deal (1/3 if the player is over 26 years old) count against the cap for twice as long as the contract was originally slated to last. The compliance buyouts are not different in terms of raw dollars going out the door, but unlike the old buyouts they come off the cap immediately.
In short, the compliance buyouts are a get out of jail free card for GMs that handed out long-term idiotic contracts (see: DiPietro, Rick). Pay the player, wish him well and forget the whole thing ever happened.
The Penguins are lucky (smart) not to have any anchors like DiPietro or Wade Redden weighing them down, but with Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Brooks Orpik up for extensions, and raises, in the near future and the cap set to fall, they will need to scrounge up cash wherever they can. So who can they cut?

The Indestructable Wallet
This wallet is tear-resistant, water-resistant, expandable and, most importantly, recyclable. Made from Tyvek® (think express mail envelopes), this wallet resists tearing because of thousands of interlocking plastic fibers spun in random patterns giving the wallet incredible strength. The ingenious origami design reinforces that strength by using a single folded stitch less construction allowing the wallet to gradually expand and adapt to meet your own personal storage needs.

UAW Solidarity House | 8000 East Jefferson Avenue
Detroit, Michigan 48214 | p. (313) 926-5000
© Copyright 2013 UAW. All Rights Reserved.
Your elected bargaining team went into these contract talks knowing that decades of successful bargaining has led to a health and safety program that has long been recognized as a benchmark in the automotive industry. Despite the automotive crisis and cost cutting, your negotiators were determined to ensure that UAW members at GM facilities will continue to work in the safest environment possible.
Ergonomics, industrial hygiene, new technology, contractor safety, emergency response teams, joint health and safety research, and training, were among the many complex topics that your health and safety negotiators took up with the company. Your negotiators won significant improvements in current programs and won language in new areas to keep you safe and healthy.
(See contract language, page 467)
Negotiators were successful in maintaining the joint development of your health and safety programs and resisted any attempt to circumvent the joint process. Your health and safety programs remain our overriding priority.
New ergonomics program designed to prevent injuries
(See contract language, pages 466, 475, 476; Healh Care Attachment pages 272-275)
Negotiators discussed increases in ergonomic injury rates and worker medical visits regarding strains and sprains with the company. New contract provisions will require ergonomic injuries related to MedicalInitiated Quick Response Process be analyzed using the Risk Factor Checklist.
Recognizing that not all facilities were equipped with appropriate ergonomics measuring tools, negotiators won language requiring a streamlined list of ergonomic tools that every Joint Ergonomic Technician team should have available for use to perform job evaluations. Both parties also reaffirmed the need to continue research into the causes and elimination of ergonomic problems.
A first: Upfront union input now included during design of new equipment
(See contract language, pages 495, 226)
Language won by the committee would for the fi rst time allow union health and safety input in rewriting the Global Design for Health and Safety specifi cations (G-DHS) document before new equipment is designed and installed for use in a plant. At present, our input comes after the design stage. Negotiators recognized that our health and safety input is invaluable at the design stage relative to ergonomics, safety guards and other risk factors including rework. Issues can be settled before engineers finalize the design. The language will also make it easier for union health and safety professionals to ensure mistakes are not repeated when similar equipment is being considered for a different plant. Additional language on this process at the local level was won to ensure your safety is not compromised.
Industrial hygiene: Negotiators win clean air study, other enhancements
(See contract language pages 222-223)
Clean air is a right our brothers and sisters at all UAWGM facilities deserve. Your negotiators recognized a need to revisit the issue of recirculated air in factories and won a comprehensive study in selected plants. Within 90 days of ratification, the Industrial Hygiene Subcommittee will submit a proposal to the National Joint Health and Safety Committee.
With new materials involved in advanced manufacturing, protecting members takes on a new urgency. Your negotiators made strides in keeping up with the new threats these chemical hazards bring by gaining contract language to evaluate new methods for addressing metalworking fluid exposures. Language also was won to examine exposure to isocyanates used in polyurethane paints, glues and foams. These chemicals are a leading cause of occupational asthma, and the UAW believes that these gains will provide improved protection for our members.
(See contract language, pages 484,496,498)
The UAW health and safety team expressed deep concern about the age and accuracy of the industrial hygiene equipment needed to conduct noise surveys and air sampling in our plants. As a result, a basic Industrial Hygiene tool kit will be established. It is recognized that tool kit needs will vary. The national parties will review each facility on an individual basis to make a proper determination. Other specific tools will be made available as needed for various testing.
Negotiators expressed concern that the testing equipment used to measure hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in confined space operations is not sensitive enough. The committee won language to force the company to investigate the need for new atmospheric testing equipment so that H2S can be detected at the new lower limit set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
A first: Union wins input in third-party validations
(See contract language, page 500)
For the first time, the UAW will have a role in selecting third-party validators, which are outside vendors who check to make sure new equipment runs exactly as it was designed. Your negotiators also won the right to reject an unqualified validator. Health and safety negotiators also recognized the need for more information from validators, which has now become the process.
NANO technology issue addressed
(See contract language, page 471)
UAW negotiators at GM are aware of the numerous advances made in recent years in NANO technology, and sought to protect members by winning the right to play an active role in its application as its use becomes more common throughout our facilities.
Joint health and safety training improved
(See contract language, pages 218-218, 468)
The committee ensured the company remains committed to the joint health and safety process. Computers, software and hardware needs will be jointly assessed to identify replacement needs at each UAW-represented facility. Negotiators won language that continues the world-class, hands-on health and safety training we conduct at the UAW-GM Center for Human Resources (CHR). Both parties will assess the need for props, lifts and a flexible hands-on robotic training cell at the CHR.
Laser safety training
(See contract language, pages 218-219)
Due to the potential for catastrophic injuries from lasers, the UAW bargaining team pushed hard to expedite safety training in this growing field. Within 30 days of ratification, the UAW-GM Health and Safety Training Department will schedule a train-the-trainer (T3) Laser Safety Awareness Training course to be taught at the CHR.
Additional UAW seat on National Joint Committee
(See contract language, page 192)
Negotiators fought for and won an additional seat on the National Joint Committee to deal specifically with issues such as NANO technology, laser, MPS, lockout, hybrids, robotics, high-voltage batteries, research and others. The additional seat now raises the UAW participation to five on the committee.
Occupational Health Advisory Board(s) restored
(See contract language, page 207-209)
The UAW recognized the need for continuing research studies on potential health and safety related hazards that members may be exposed to on a daily basis. The union was successful in winning language that restores the joint research and Occupational Health Advisory Boards (OHAB) on an as-needed basis with the potential to utilize multiple boards. OHAB will consist of research technical evaluators and peer reviewers who will advise the National Joint Committee on a variety of possible research studies such as ergonomic assessment and interventions, air quality evaluations and tasks specific to skilled trades.
Emergency Response Teams to receive awareness boost
(See contract language, page 473)
Our team won language that requires local joint leadership to do more to encourage UAW participation on Emergency Response Teams (ERTs).
Hazard evaluation, safe operating procedures to be better coordinated
(See contract language, page 479)
Negotiators expressed concern that Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Pre-Task Safety Plans were being revised or developed without Local Joint Health and Safety Committee approval. These plans and procedures, while resolving safety issues at one facility, had the potential to cause safety issues at other plants. It was agreed that any new or revised SOP and/or Pre-Task Safety Plan will be developed with input from the Local Joint Health and Safety Committee and Joint Skilled Trades Committee Teams. Additionally, these plans and SOPs will be made available to the UAW International health and safety representatives.

that spec is exactly the same as tesla part. detail about tesla k20 and k20x here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6446/nvidia-launches-tesla-k20-k20x-gk110-arrives-at-last we know that the compute version always clock lower than it's geforce counter part so this Geforce 'Titan' could clock higher for the final revision. but nvidia might want to keep the clock lower just like the tesla cards to keep the TDP at 235w.
So I want this for rendering with Octane render, or possibly V-ray RT, but I have a sneaky feeling Nvidia is going to put in some sort of artificial hindrance, how would they else get to sell their absurdly expensive Maximus range... If there are no snags, I'll get three or four of the GeForce Titans.
I am so enlightened now. Why am I folding when I can just drink my own pee and cure every aliment ? As for the graphics card, sell it at US $599(not 800) or lower and this is an instant winner(for hi resolution gamers and folders alike...). I am only worried about heat like usual....
Trust me it'll look smoother. Ah, yeah right. We've got "cures" for all these things, especially the godawful cancer. Sure we do. Man never went to the moon either and everything is a conspiracy.
So the actual product name will be Titan? Then I guess we won't get a real 700 series chip until the end of the year. This product seems to be going from the wonder chip game changer, polished for months and months, to totally random one off high end part that changes nothing for nobody? The profits nvidia is making from kepler must be insane. Imagine if the 7000 series had been good this thing would be only $500 and the 680(660 ti) would be $300 or less. Talk about pulling your punches.
You forgot to mention Hemp oil Ignore the close minded sheeple, take you about a decade to get through to them
Actually, acording to techpowerup charts, if GTX 780 is 85% of GTX 690, then GTX 780 would be to GTX 680: 45% faster at 2560x1600 29% faster at 1920x1080 21% faster at 1680x1050 6% faster at 1280x800 Avg. of 25% faster. AMD needs something 25% avg faster than 7970 Ghz Ed., to keep the marginal lead they have.
if these specs end up the case then it would be such a fail for nvidia, remember gk104 is clocked around 1100 mhz and noway a huge chip like gk110 can clock that high the max i expect the clock to be is around 800-900 if we are to be optimistic, 732 is the tesla version which is clocked lower because tesla have to be 24hour operation guaranteed which geforce cards dont require such warantee. but if 732 is the clock speed then nvidia is in for trouble, because if we were to do calculations gtx680 has 1536cores at around 1100mhz 1536 x 1100= 1689600 gk110 has 2688 at 732mhz 2688 x 732 = 1967616 1689600/1967616 = so around .85 or 85% which is 15% extra theoretical power over gtx680 but offcourse add another 10% for the added memory bandwidth benefit. so to make a chip twice the size of gtx 680 for 15-25% extra performance is very meh, which reallly makes me doubt its a 732mhz part otherwise nvidia is much better off making a part closer to 2000 cores with the higher clockspeed advantage, thats definitly the smarter way to get 30% performance and be able to sell it at good prices. and most likely this is what amd is doing next round, refining gcn for better efficiency to pack more cores in the same power envelope while maintaining the clock speed advantage
@sergionography Agreed, clock speed sounds way too low. I think this chip has around 7b transistors in it, so I can imagine that getting a ghz out of it will be challenging. No doubt it would be more comfortable on a smaller process technology.
I love you. I thought TPU is a friendly site. Guess it changed now when other people has different opinions than you. Well.
All I can say is read the initial post by Bytales. It is confrontational, conspiratorial and quite insulting to crunchers (who do what they do to help scientific research for a good cause). I love the blatant hypocrisy people exhibit online. If the guy has fans here, fair enough. You can all live in the conspiracy theory bunker and think the world is out to get you. But we don't all have to hold hands and hug. FTR, what the does the Titan Supercomputer do? Crunch numbers for science. Using the HPC variant of the very card we are talking about. EDIT: Oh yeah, why don't more people come help out? http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewGridComputingBasics.do http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=68 http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=67
well who knows maybe they will do something similar to the 200 series for the 700 series and use 2 process nodes next round, with gk110 being a lower clocked version then when 20nm comes out with the low capacity they will only shrink the top end part and market it as gtx785 with higher clockspeeds and lower tdp and sell it for an arm and a leg like the gtx285 did back in the day. that would be a decent strategy which will buy them time for maxwell and a shrink is always a better way to go than a shrink and new architecture from a technical engineering standpoint. especialy with nvidia they arent the best in moving to new nodes
This isn't the thread to discuss whether or not one should crunch or fold. Please take it to PM's. Carry on Edit: On topic - I will be enjoying watching some of our extreme over clockers have fun with these cards while I sit this one out. Too expensive for me.
I will wait for more information about the correct specifications, since it seems they based the clocks on the K20x clocks which is not correct as this card will not be a passive telsa card, nvidia usually sets the clocks back on their telsa cards by about 20%-25% recently, I would guess the core clock on the geforce version to be about 900 - 950mhz. but still at 900 dollars, . . . . . . not a chance I'm gonna buy it.
Only way I see this card having revelancy to such a name is... if it's 4K-proof to AT LEAST a handful of modern titles... since I hate multi-monitor gaming setups with a passsion and even the puny-ish 2560x1440/1600 are no way near as common as they should be... Nor is the hardware or programing skill of most game studios up to snuff.
More-or-less agree. Also, I usually work these things backwards. I personally think 7ghz/384-bit is a safe bet for 'a' gk110 card. Might not be a clock of one released, but it's a starting point of what to expect within 300w. Working backwards from the 680, a 14 smx unit card with 384-bit at the same clocks as 680 would require that exact amount of bandwidth. ( 2688/1536 = 1.75/1.5 = 1.166_ x 6000 = 7000). Now, the optimal (most efficient) amount of units (including sfu) in gaming for 48 ROPs is somewhere around >2800 and <2900. This would have 3136. AMD may have 2560, so that's kind of a wash. Then it's obviously about voltage and clock potential/efficiency within a tdp (probably 300w). AMD may clock their product stock closer to nvidias max clock within the tdp, choosing rather for their max clock at 300w to be closer to the potential of the 28nm process (1200-1300mhz). nvidia's clock choice may be more power efficient, say if they scale from ~975 to 1100+mhz. AMD's choice may be more die size/cost efficient. Point is, end of the day, if one has ~10% more usable units but more bloat, and one clocks ~10% higher, what is the better part? Does it really matter? They should be relatively close.
If you're making assumptions that the K20X cut-and-paste specs re memory are wrong, then might the SMX count be wrong also? It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that the GeForce version has a full 15SMX. Tesla and Quadro generally have more functionality fused off then GF- presumably to fuse off the out-of-spec logic blocks and to reduce power requirement. A GeForce card probably wont be under the same restraint. Also not unheard of that TSMC's process might have improved and/or a revision from the first tranche of wafers might have taken place. If the original ~20000 GPUs going to HPC deployment are 87-93% functional then I'd assume that there must be a percentage of fully functional chips
Bla bla bla who cares, what i have now will last the next 7yrs anyway, not tlike we cant all play console ports anyway right? lol

Al-Nakba Refugees Picture Gallery |
Al-Nakba,the catastrophe of the Palestinian people who were ethnically cleansed from their homes, lands, and villages by the Zionists before and after the creation of the State of Israel on May 15th 1948! More than 750,000 Palestinians were made homeless refugees, forced to live in inhumane conditions and squalid refugee camps that were set up by the UN. These refugee camps were only supposed to serve as a "temporary" solution until the refugees were permitted to go back home according to UN Resolution 194 (The Right of Return), The Geneva Conventions regarding refugees, and other Internationally Recognized Laws! Now after more than 57 years, the Refugees are still living in camps while Israel continues to ignore countless UN Resolutions. In fact, till this very day, Israel continues to create yet more homeless refugees in Palestine, some for the 3rd and 4th time in their lives! Below are some of the human faces of Al-Nakba...Click on an image to enlarge! |

text: E3 is launching in beta at the 2011 American Association for Cancer Research Meeting, which is fitting since epigenetics is a hot area for oncology research. Of the 27,000 publications from epigenetics experts featured on E3, more than 4,600 contain the keyword 'tumor' (cancer appears to be much less frequent as a keyword). We made a keyword cloud for these publications, shown below, with the largest words representing the most prevalent. We removed common keywords such as 'genetics' and 'drug effects' and kept those associated with oncology. It's not a rigorous method, but it gives an idea of the most frequent keywords for cancer research involving epigenetics, and clicking on the words will display the publications with the keyword 'tumor' and the keyword. You can then connect with researchers, add the publications to a group, or refine the search. You'll need to join to do the most interesting things. Enjoy, and if you're at AACR stop by the New England Biolabs exhibit #530 for a demo. (Extra credit: can you see the hidden message?)
