LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 2, 1968 No. 1 Committee sets open hearing Feb. 8 By STEVE VAKAS Student rights The President's Committee on Stu- A dent Rights and Freedoms will hold its first regular meeting Thurs, Feb. 8, in room 2C of Danna Center at 1 p.m. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss one portion of the amended statement originally approved by the National Student Association ♦ and the Council of American University Professors. The meeting will be open to the student body. 11 Three copies of the statement are If on reserve in Loyola's library for inspection by any interested student. The President's Committee, composed of three university groups, has recently expanded its membership from nine to 12. Dr. E. Letitia Beard was added to the faculty group, Dean Robert Sabolyk to the administration group, and an unannounced student will be added to the student group. The three groups comprising the committee will discuss the statement from its preamble down to and including section A of Article IV. The preamble is a general statement on student rights and freedoms, and points out that both the student and the University have certain obligations to each other. It states further that "students should exercise their freedom with responsibility as should all members of the academic community."Section I is mainly concerned with civil rights. It is made clear that race should never be a basis for refusing admission to any student. It also says that university facilities and services should be made available to all enrolled students. The section to be discussed brings out the fact that a university can and does have the right to be selective if it is a sectarian school such as Loyola, but only in qualifications and preferences that should be "publicly stated." Section II deals with the freedom of the student in the classroom. It states that "student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards." It also touches on freedom of expression and freedom from improper disclosure of confidential student information. This last idea is covered in more depth in Article 111. Student affairs is the topic of Article IV. Section A deals mainly with the right of students to organize and join associations that promote their interests. It states further that "membership, policies and actions of a student organization will be determined by vote of only those per- sons who hold bonafide membership in the college or university community." Again, it is brought out that all campus organizations, except possibly those with sectarian interests, should be open to students "without respect to race, creed, or national origin." WILLIAM WOESTENDIEK Decries press deficiencies Fraternity heads disavow prejudice in rush incident By FERREL GUILLORY The president and the moderator of Alpha Delta Gamma social fraternity deny they acted out of racial prejudice when, during last Saturday's rush formal, they informed a Negro couple that they mistakenly received an invitation to the party. The Rev. James Pillar, 0.M.1, fraternity moderator, said someone played a "dirty trick" and created an embarrassing situation when they sent Alton Etienne, a Loyola freshman, an official invitation to the ADG rush formal. "A real injustice has been done to the boy, his date and the members of ADG," Father Pillar saidd "I think something should be done to find out who the individual or individuals are." Father Pillar called for a public apology from the person or persons who sent the invitation. Etienne received an official ADG invitation early last week in his mail box in Biever Hall. He said he was at first skeptical about whether it was meant for him or not, but, he said, after asking a few of his friends for advice, he decided to go. When he arrived at the Sheraton- Charles Hotel, where the formal was being held, Etienne said he was questioned by some ADG members as to whether he belonged at the party. He said he had been talking to friends for about 10 minutes, when someone asked him to talk to Father Pillar. Father Pillar, Mike Crow, ADG president, and Etienne all agree that no one asked the couple specifically EXPLAINING HOLOCAUST: Dr. Joseph L. Lichten, Director of Intercultural Affairs of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, makes the keynote speech at the Christian-Jewish I*» Institute held at Loyola last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Dr. p 1 Lichten spoke on the historical meaning of the Holocaust— 4 the Nazi extermination of the Jews. The institute was sponsored by B'nai B'rith and the Consortium. People 'underinformed' By GARY ATKINS Editor says The managing editor of IBM's Think magazine, attacking American newspapers as "out-of-date," recently said that "many Americans are as underinformed as people living under totalitarian governments." William J. Woestendiek, who spoke to Loyola students Jan. 25, said that many Americans "know as little or less about the events that are shaping their future" than people controlled by dictators. Placing the blame on newspapers, he said that "Americans often let their newspapers think for them. In this case, though, they had better have one of the rare good papers because most aren't going to do that much thinking." Woestendiek, who recently traveled to the Soviet Union to write a series of articles for Newsday, said that he had discussed the role of a newspaper with many of the Russian editors. "The Russians constantly said that they knew what was good for the people, and what the people should read," Woestendiek said. "Similiar ideas are sometimes found among publishers and editors in the United States." Woestendiek explained: "The newspapers' job is to disseminate, background, interpret, and comment on the news and do it independently, honestly and truthfully. However, many publishers don't go for this last part. These are not the elements of every newspaper in the country." Woestendiek also said that many newspapers fail when it comes to exploring the news in detail. "It costs money for newsprint to print the news, and it's often easier to use the space for ad revenue," he said. "Many of the publishers and editors today are not competent," Woestendiek stated. "Some have gotten fat and lazy and they're not keeping pace with time. Newspapers are being run by businessmen, not newspapermen," he continued. The former Houston Post assistant executive editor also said that advertisingadvertising pressure sometimes causes publishers and editors to distort the news. He cited one example in which a Houston truth-in-packaging series had changed its attack "in midstream" because of advertisers' reactions. Another fault in newspapers Woestendiek noted was that of the reporter. Newspapers do not pay well enough to keep the best men, he said, and, in addition to being hard to keep, the good journalist is often a "lonely man." "He's not just fighting the outside world," Woestendiek explained. "He he may find that he is the only person doing the job the public merits. And he sometimes does this at the peril of his job." Newspapers also run into problems "not in the suppression but the selection of news," he said. The vast amount of news in the world is "too staggering" for many of the people handling it to comprehend, Woestendiek stated. "And it's often just as dishonest to leave something out of the paper or a story as it is to write a dishonest story," Woestendiek said. He also laid the blame for out-ofdate newspapers on the readers, saying that the public often "lets the paper get away with murder." "Papers won't bother to print the real news," he said, "if they can get away with blood, gore and sex stories." In two journalism seminars which he conducted the following day, Woestendiek again criticized the press, saying that there "is far too much canned stuff in papers today—many of them look alike and sound alike." Though television news is often presented as a major competitor for the papers, it does not have to be, Woestendiek said. "Papers can do indepth stories, exposes, and series in any situation, but most newspapers don't want to spend the money for the news," he said. "In many areas, you can't really know what's going on in the world if you just read the local paper." Dean of A&S stands firm on graduation By KATHY ROSE Though student concern over the rising cost of education at Loyola is growing, the tTruversity officials continue to stick to a policy of spreading a student's education over a period of eight semesters. The Rev. Bernard A. Tonnar, S.J., the Dean of the the College of Arts and Sciences, has decided to enforce the policy stated in the Loyola catalogue that a student spread his education over a period of eight semesters and that the student be allowed to take only 20 credit hours except in special cases. Father Tonnar explained that the average student cannot carry over 20 credit hours and do the quality of work that the student should. In the past students have been allowed to take "excessive credits" said Father Tonnar. He continued that he is not trying to "wage war" against a student taking over 20 credits and that he will be reasonable. "I am just returning to the policy stated in the catalogue," he said. The catalogue says, "To receive a baccalaureate degree, a student is required to complete at least 128 semester hours, distributed normally throughout eight semesters . . . . " Father Tonnar has reasons for allowing a student to take 20 credit hours.. The faculty is urged to give stimulating lectures and to assign work that requires a student to use library facilities. The Loyola student is faced with more outside reading and research work. Students in the fall semester began to realize that the faculty is requiring more, according to Father Tonnar. Many students dropped courses because they realized that they could not keep up with the amount of work requiredd There are exceptions to this policy of allowing only 20 credit hours a semester. Exceptional students, that is, those who have a 3.5 average or over, will be given special permission to take more than the allowed credits* But this does not exclude them from attending eight semesters of college. Students are increasingly upset about this rule because of the cost of education. Most universities do not follow the policy of making a student attend eight semester of college in order to obtain their degree. Administration officials agree with Father Tonnar's policy. Dr. Ralph G. Smith, the Dean of the College of Business Administration, said, "Whatever acceleration is decided upon, it must be university policy not the college's. Even with the higher cost of education, a person can destroy his academic well-being by over-loading his schedule. It's expensive, there is no doubt about it, but there's only so many hours in a week." Dr. Michael Carubba, the Dean of the College of Music, said that there has never been a student to graduate in a period of less than four years for a regular degree in music. This is because a student of music must be proficient in both theory and practice. The music student must give a senior concert and he must pass a comprehensive exam. Despite the arguments against early graduation, many students are worried. With the rising cost of education at Loyola, some feel they might be in a position where they must complete their education as soon as possible. Or, others believe, that they might not be able to continue their education in a Catholic institution. Residence on St Charles Ave. slated for use as regular dorm Plans are now definite for the utilization of Ignatius Hall as a Loyola student residence next year, said Col. Robert Sabolyk, Dean of Men. Dorm facilities are scheduled to be opened to interested students in the fall of 1968. Sabolyk emphasized that the new residence will be more particularly for graduate students since there is already ample room in Biever Hall for undergraduates. However, he said both in-town and present dorm students will be allowed residence in the hall. The fee per semester will be $150 for room and $250 for board. Sabolyk said this is considerably cheaper than expenses in Biever Hall which, for each student, is $225 for room and $250 for board. The reason for this reduction says Joseph Truss, director of housing, is that there will he no air conditioning facilities in Ignatius as there are in Biever Hall. "Carpeting will have to be laid and the hall will have to be fixed up." Truss said. Presently Sigma Alpha Kappa social fraternity is residing in Ignatius Hall though they have already been asked by the university to move. Ignatius Hall is located at 6226 St. Charles. Negro at Loyola Special report (Editor's note: This story came as the result of a project for a journalism class in the first semester. The writer spent over a month compiling the information and conducting interviews. Her final report follows.) By TEDDY WELGOSS The American Negro is acquiring a new status. The proof is everywhere. Today Negroes may be found holding elected offices in all branches of the government. Even in southern states, former "hot-beds" of civil rights movements, Negroes are serving as state legislators, county supervisors and constables. Formerly all-white schools now have their share of Negroes. Integration has reached the point that the white student is no longer resentful when finding a Negro in the desk beside him. Three years ago such proximity would have created an uncomfortable situation. However, social acceptance of the Negro has not kept pace with educational acceptance, particularly in the South. There are some who would like to think that discrimination died with the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. But it would seem that this practice is still being felt. Again the proof is everywhere. Discrimination can be seen in our towns and cities and in the Bns built in them, ere is this discrimination more than in the very places that accept the Negro academically, the schools. Loyola is no exception. R focal points of most of Loyola's activities are its social organizaits sororities and fraternities, campus organizations now have ways have had all-white memberships."We can't be non-discriminatory," one fraternity president explains. "The entire fraternity system is built on ■. 11y with brotherhood as its aim. integration here in the South asn't reached the brotherhood He is less blunt than the majority of his fraternity brothers. Here is how one explains their feelings: "We don't go drinking with Negroes and we don't invite them to come home with us. By the same token we don't invite them to join our social organizations." Or, as another frat member states: "I don't mind sitting next to a Negro in class, that I can accept. But, the idea of him kissing my girl, that's something 1 could never accept." Another fraternity president will (continued on page 6) (continued on page 4)

DePauw Moves to 2-0 with 21-16 Win at Centre in SCAC Opener
September 18, 2010
September 18, 2010, Danville, Ky. — Visiting DePauw put together long scoring drives to end the first half and start the second on the way to a 21-16 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference win at Centre. The Tigers improved to 2-0 with the win, while the Colonels dropped to 1-2 overall.

All writers face this. Some call it writer's block. Some call it having the lack of discipline. Some call it immaturity. Maybe others...the cruel ones...call it a writer who is only a dreamer, but never really writes. Someone who isn't meant to be a writer. The person who should give up. To stop fooling themselves. It's the cynical one, quick to criticize others, instead of understand. Photo Copyright by David Castillo Dominici
But to me, I think it's something all of us must deal with. I have been dealing with it lately.
I started out this year like a bullet out of a gun. I had the motiviation to finish my novel, and got through more chapters than I have in years. I'm now on Chapter 14 and I have three chapters to go. I'm almost done with my book. Right now, I am five lines into the chapter and it's been like that all week.
I try to talk myself into it. I really do. But it's tough. I got laid off from my job a few weeks ago and really, I have all sorts of time to write now. But the motiviation just isn't there.
So what do you do? What do you do when you don't have motiviation? Do we write anyways? Fight it?
I guess so. I know I'm supposed to. But it's tough.
This time I didn't ask the writing community what to do...I didn't ask the experts. Instead, I'm just putting it out there.
Our jobs as writers is to write. No matter how many blog posts we write, no matter how often we tweet, and no matter how much self promotion we do, at the end of the day, we define ourselves as a writer by writing.
With or without motiviation, we must write. Even if we are spent. Even if we are drained. Even if the emotional energy is just. Not. There. I wanted to write this blog post for myself. To tell myelf this -
That no matter how much you get down, you are a writer. You are a writer. You don't need to be published to call yourself that. That even when the stress gets to you, the critics get to you, the stories just won't flow anymore - you are a writer. You have been that your whole life. Never forget that. You have wanted to be a writer way before you knew what it meant to be published. You just wanted to tell stories.
Today, tell a story. Write a story. Write for the purpose of getting that character out of your head, because he or she or it needs a voice. Write a story because there is a place, a location that haunts you, disturbs you, makes you think, inspires you, because it needs a voice too. Write because it feels good. Write because you want you to. Write for the audience, the reader that you haven't met yet. Write for the little child in you that dreamed about one day finding their name on the list of authors at the public library. Write for foolish, lofty reasons. Write terribly. Write good. Write what you want to write.
But know this - you are not alone. Others feel this way too even if they refuse to admit it. Even if they think they are above the lack of motiviation. Even if no one talks about it.
Be motivated today, because, damn it, you are worth it. The writer in you is worth it.
Remember, I wrote this post for me.
But I hope you find some use for it today too.

What Do You Do When You Have No Motivation?
17 comments:
This was such a helpful post. Right now I'm under tons of stress at work on top of packing to move and renovating one house for selling. By the time I get to sit down at night I feel so drained that I stare blankly at the screen for most of my writing time. Now I feel like I should go back and re-read your blog before I try again tonight and see if that helps me find my own inner determination!
ReplyDeleteI find that I need more time to write. I have the motivation to do it. Nicole, we should merge resources! Your time and my motivation.
If I should find that I'm not motivated to write anything, I get my camera out and hunt for my next picture. Or I do something creative in the kitchen, take photos and post them on Facebook.
What usually happens after that, my creative self gives me a little pat on the back and reminds me that I've got some more creating to do...with words. :)
Good luck, Nicole!You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. I did write one chapter, but I have more in me. I want to keep going, but there's the laundry that needs to be done, dogs need walking, and I need to fit some kind of exercise in at some point. Some days are just a challenge, but I'm with you. We. Are. Writers! It's our core; it's our passion. All we have to do is live it! Cheers to much more motivation tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteThis just hit the spot for me. I'm under a lot of stress as well with trying to manage my time to even be able to write and when I finally sit down, its like my head is just swimming with all of the things that need to be done. It's a neverending circle sometimes. But we all get through it right? Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone :)
ReplyDeleteI am not a writer, no, really, I mean that literally. I have been orally telling stories all of my life. With my blog I simply write those stories down.
Occasionally I run out of stories and have to make something up. Now that I when I TRY to become a writer and I can identify with this post. You did an excellent job.....I hope you listened to yourself because I think you are right.....ktThank you for your honesty! I'm dealing with this right now, and I've been stuck on the 9th chapter of my story for...6 Weeks. Yeah. Six Weeks. I hate these periods, but I do think they serve a greater purpose. I'm going to be honest, though: you in the writer's block state is still better than me there. I literally go literarily catatonic and can't even describe what I'm feeling. You can. That's the mark of a true writer. Best of luck to you! I know you'll push through.
ReplyDeleteI read a fascinating article about this very thing. It really inspired me, it's direct without sensitivities ... I need that to get motivated! You might find it interesting:
http://unpublishedworksofme.blogspot.com/Guess what I'm doing now... ;) I force myself to write every day, even if it's warm-up, even if it's ending up being deleted the next hour, or day... Just to keep the brain muscles flexing.
Sorry about being laid off the job :( I hope you can find the silver lining having more time to write :)@Kelly - That is a good idea actually. Trying out a new way to approach a scene or even tackling a different part of the story is a good way to keep fresh.
@Ashley - Oh I'm so glad this helped you! I hope you can tackle your story later on tonight! I'm struggling with mine a bit, but it's sitting on my lap right now and I'm going after the scene a bit at a time. I've gotten a page done today and that feels really good!
@mooderino - It can! I find that the music to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter help me a lot (I'm writing a fantasy!) :)
@Diane - We should!!!!! Wow, if I can have that motiviation with the time that I have do it...I would work wonders!! :) And that is a really good idea to use another creative outlet too! I used to do collages, and whenever I would do that I felt like that was flexing my creative muscle. Like when I would go to writing that I would be that much stronger. I know I need to find another outlet that has less pressure involved in it (like I know I put pressure on writing!)
@Eschelle - That's a good idea too! Funny thing is I got inspired to write while being in the unemployment department and I think it was becauese I was tackling something that I had needed to get done. Now, I'm much more at ease. :)
@Vanessa- Thank you Vanessa! I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in this. The idea of responsibility around us can be so draining and exhausting. And that can just temper any creative urges. I hope you rediscover your creative energy as well!!
@L.J. - Oh definitely...we are definitely not alone. Although too often I feel like not enough people talk about it! :) I have so much trouble just letting go of the world around me and allowing myself to escape into the world I'm trying to create in front of me.
@Ninja - Thank you so much for reading! :) I'm so glad that you found this inspiring!
@Kt - I do try to listen to myself! :) Although it can be soooooooooo tough! I don't know, though, I'd definitely say you are a writer. When you get used to making stuff up, it gets easier and easier. Hehehe...
@Deena Safari - You are making me feel so much better. I'm part of the most interesting, but toughest chapters to write in my book right now. A lot of scenes switching around...and it's tough to write that without it looking like a mess. I try to tell myself that editing will come later, but its not easy. I'm pushing through though and it's getting easier to overcome the idea of writer's block! I know those catatonic stages though...I call that the dark ages. And boy have I been there!
@Unpublished Life - I READ THAT!! I LOVED IT! :) Isn't that an amazing article! I would recommend that every writer read that. That's the swift kick in the butt we all need.
@DL Hammons - I just read it after you posted that comment - very very good post! Right now, I am definitely being my writer self. I'm dying to ask someone to create the cover of my book, but I want to wait to be done with it first! I love the cover of your novel by the way!!
@Rena - And doesn't it just suck when you have to force it?? But it's so necessary!
@Maria - I'm forcing myself too. I have my next page on my lap right now as I type this. I do hope that I make good use of this time!Excellent post! Thanks for motivating yourself and us. Yes, it happens to us all! We should keep pushing forward, no matter what. I think if we find something inspirational, just by taking a short break, it could help us to continue writing. A short walk, reading a thoughtful quote, changing writing locations could help. But we should not procrastinate even when we want to. Good luck, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that before. Doing something unrelated helps. If anything, getting a little distance is good if you're beyond the point of "writing howevermany words every day" being helpful.
This is usually when I either start a completely new project or am juggling a couple at a time and when inspiration comes from one place rather than another, I jump to where the signal's the strongest, that sort of thing
I love comments! The good, the bad, and the ugly, so tell me what you have to say! And if you like what you read (or at least find yourself entertained), follow my blog to read more. Although I'm not always able to respond to comments immediately, I appreciate every one of them.
Note: I also have received a lot of spam comments lately and I am temporarily requiring word verification. Sorry for the hassle!

Chemistry Program
Why Study Chemistry at Fisher?
Not ready to be just another student in a large, impersonal lecture hall? Then Fisher's Chemistry Department is right for you.
Class sizes are small, typically 20-35 students for introductory courses and less than 10 once you get to the upper-level classes. This means you'll receive plenty of personalized attention. In fact, you'll find faculty and students spend a lot of time talking and working together informally, both inside and outside the classroom.
In addition, Fisher offers 3 degree programs to suit your needs!
Outstanding Faculty
Fisher's Chemistry Department faculty believe that chemistry is more than just memorizing facts and periodic elements. They are committed to making you self-sufficient through independent investigation, computer and library literacy, and extensive hands-on laboratory experiences. Oral and written communication skills are stressed in both lecture and laboratory courses.
Learning Outside the Classroom
There are many ways to become involved in the Chemistry Department. Our Chemistry Club sponsors afternoon lectures by scientists visiting from other schools, field trips to tour the laboratories at nearby industrial companies, and picnics and other social events. You may also work for the Department, preparing chemicals and equipment for labs and/or by tutoring other students.
More About the Labs
Fisher's Chemistry Department uses state-of-the-art instrumentation including a 250 MHz Fourier-transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, a scanning ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, two gas chromatographs, and a combination gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
The Department also has its own computer lab equipped with molecular modeling software. All students in the Department learn to use all of the instrumentation, and many also choose to do independent research with a faculty member.

We've seen plenty of enthusiast-class motherboards and graphics cards from Asus' Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand. What we are reviewing today is neither of the two, but a mean-looking gaming PC called Tytan CG8565. It certainly looks powerful, but let us see what it packs under the hood. Doesn't it look mean? Features A liquid cooler keeps the CPU cool under heavy load Our expectations weren't too high for a gaming PC of this calibre, but we were quite disappointed to find the GTX 560 Ti DirectCu II, a mid-range graphics card. We believe it should have carried at least the GTX 670. Maybe Asus couldn't afford to fit in a more powerful card, but any hardcore gamer would expect a high-end card. This graphics card isn't factory overclocked, but it sports a custom cooler that's much superior than the one featured on Nvidia's reference design. The graphics card has two DVI outputs and a mini HDMI port. SATA 3Gb/s SSD and 1 TB hard disk Wouldn't you expect a SATA 6Gb/s SSD and high-end memory in an ROG PC? The SSD fitted here is a 64GB SATA 3Gb/s, just for the operating system, applications and a few games. Your movie library, music, photos and other stuff go onto the 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive that uses SATA 6Gb/s interface. Asus has opted for a pair of 4GB DDR3-1600 modules by ASint. The plain green sticks don't look high-end at all. Although they should suffice, you'll need high-end modules if you wish to heavily overclock this PC. You won't have to worry about the CPU getting overheated thanks to a closed-circuit liquid cooler by Asetek. A radiator with a 120mm fan mounted on it is fitted onto the rear of the cabinet. Card reader, Blu-ray Combo and hot-swap bay on the front bezel Other features include a BD-ROM/DVD-writer combo drive, a hot-swap bay for 3.5-inch hard drives, and a card reader that can read Memory Stick, SD and CompactFlash (CF) memory cards. What we liked most about this PC are the cabinet and input devices. As we have mentioned earlier, the cabinet looks awesome. It would have looked better had it had a transparent side panel, LED fans and some lighting within, but that would be asking for too much. The top panel of the front bezel slides down exposing the 5.25-inch bays behind it. The geared mechanism prevents it from coming down crashing. The ROG logo lights up in blue, so does the lower part of the bezel. The colour changes to red on pressing the Speed button on the top left corner, and the processor is overclocked on-the-fly. The stock speed of Core i7-2600k is 3.4GHz, and it's configured to run at a default speed of 4.2GHz on this PC. The Speed button further boosts the speed to 4.4GHz and to 4.6GHz with the second press. Mechanical mouse and 5-button laser mouse with weights The bundled keyboard is a mechanical one with Cherry MX-Black switches. So the keys are linear and don't make clicking sounds when pressed. The layout is standard, and the keyboard comes with a detachable palm rest. The mouse bundled is an Asus GX900. It sports a right-handed design and uses laser-tracking. The keyboard and the mouse have a matte rubberised finish. |

Miami Heat fans: How does 65 wins and 2-1/2 NBA titles sound?
Sunday, July 11th, 2010After a spectacular entrance that was missing only live tigers, LeBron James was asked if he came to win a title. "Not one," the King told his new loyal subjects. "Not two, not three…" By the time James reached seven, the crowd's roar overpowered his voice. High-tech sparklers and strobe lights went off. And it was good. So good James may still be counting.
Sky-high predictions are everywhere: Wade says he's hoping for six titles. Ricky on a car phone says eight, easily. James has probably reached triple digits. What really counts, though, is how many rings James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh win in the six years they're likely to be under contract with Miami.
On that note, one prominent website has put its money where its picks are. Details after the jump.

Most parents wouldn't dream of giving their kids a mug of coffee, but might routinely serve soft drinks containing caffeine. Foods and drinks with caffeine are everywhere, but it's wise to keep caffeine consumption to a minimum, especially in younger kids.
The United States hasn't developed guidelines for caffeine intake and kids, but Canadian guidelines recommend that preschoolers get no more than 45 milligrams of caffeine a day. That's equivalent to the average amount of caffeine found in a 12-ounce (355-milliliter) can of soda or four 1.5-ounce (43-gram) milk chocolate bars.
A stimulant that affects kids and adults similarly, caffeine is a drug that's naturally produced in the leaves and seeds of many plants. Caffeine is also made artificially and added to certain foods. Caffeine is defined as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system. At lower levels, it can make people feel more alert and energetic.
In both kids and adults, too much caffeine can cause:
Especially in young kids, it doesn't take a lot of caffeine to produce these effects.
Other reasons to limit kids' caffeine consumption include:
One thing that caffeine doesn't do is stunt growth. Although scientists once worried that caffeine could hinder growth, this isn't supported by research.
Although kids get most of their caffeine from sodas, it's also found in coffee, tea, chocolate, coffee ice cream or frozen yogurt, as well as pain relievers and other over-the-counter medicines. Some parents may give their kids iced tea in place of soda, thinking that it's a better alternative. But iced tea can contain as much sugar and caffeine as soda.
Here's how some sources of caffeine compare:
Caffeine sensitivity refers to the amount of caffeine that will produce an effect in someone, which varies from person to person. On average, the smaller the person, the less caffeine necessary to produce side effects. However, caffeine sensitivity is most affected by daily caffeine intake.
People who regularly drink beverages containing caffeine soon develop a reduced sensitivity to caffeine. This means they require higher doses of caffeine to achieve the same effects as someone who doesn't drink caffeinated drinks often. So, the more caffeine kids take in, the more caffeine they'll need to feel the same effects.
In addition to being more susceptible to the effects of caffeine based on size, younger kids are more sensitive because they haven't been exposed to it as much as older kids or adults.
Caffeine moves through the body within a few hours and is then passed through the urine. It's not stored in the body, but kids may feel its effects for up to 6 hours if they're sensitive to it.
Can you keep kids caffeine-free? Absolutely! The best way to cut caffeine ( and added sugar) is to eliminate soda. Instead, offer water, milk, flavored seltzer, and 100% fruit juice. For added convenience, serve water in squeeze bottles that kids can carry around. You can still serve the occasional soda or tea - just make it noncaffeinated. And watch for hidden caffeine by checking the ingredient list on foods and beverages.
If your teen has taken up coffee drinking, one cup a day can easily turn into several (as most adults know), especially if your teen drinks it to stay awake during late-night study sessions.
The best way to reduce coffee caffeine intake is to cut back slowly. Otherwise, kids (and adults) could get headaches and feel achy, depressed, or just downright lousy.
Try substituting noncaffeinated drinks for caffeinated sodas and coffee (water, caffeine-free sodas, and caffeine-free teas). Keep track of how many caffeinated drinks your child has each day, and substitute one drink per week with a caffeine-free alternative until he or she has gotten below the 100-milligram mark.
Someone cutting back on caffeine may feel tired. The best bet is to hit the sack, not the sodas: It's just a body's way of saying that more rest is necessary. Don't worry - energy levels will return to normal in a few days.
Feel free to let kids indulge in a sliver of chocolate cake at birthday parties or a cup of tasty hot cocoa on a cold day - these choices don't pack enough caffeine punch to be harmful. As with everything, moderation is the key to keeping your kids' caffeine consumption under control.

A small toolkit of classes that support lock-free thread-safe programming on single variables. In essence, the classes in this package extend the notion of volatile values, fields, and array elements to those that also provide an atomic conditional update operation of the form:
boolean compareAndSet(expectedValue, updateValue);
This method (which varies in argument types across different classes) atomically sets a variable to the updateValue if it currently holds the expectedValue, reporting true on success. The classes in this package also contain methods to get and unconditionally set values, as well as a weaker conditional atomic update operation weakCompareAndSet described below.
The specifications of these methods enable implementations to employ efficient machine-level atomic instructions that are available on contemporary processors. However on some platforms, support may entail some form of internal locking. Thus the methods are not strictly guaranteed to be non-blocking -- a thread may block transiently before performing the operation.
Instances of classes AtomicBoolean
, AtomicInteger
, AtomicLong
, and AtomicReference
each provide access and
updates to a single variable of the corresponding type. Each class
also provides appropriate utility methods for that type. For example,
classes AtomicLong and AtomicInteger provide atomic
increment methods. One application is to generate sequence numbers,
as in:
class Sequencer { private final AtomicLong sequenceNumber = new AtomicLong(0); public long next() { return sequenceNumber.getAndIncrement(); } }
The memory effects for accesses and updates of atomics generally follow the rules for volatiles, as stated in The Java Language Specification, Third Edition (17.4 Memory Model):
In addition to classes representing single values, this package
contains Updater classes that can be used to obtain
compareAndSet operations on any selected volatile
field of any selected class. AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater
, AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater
, and AtomicLongFieldUpdater
reflection-based utilities that provide access to the associated field
types. These are mainly of use in atomic data structures in which
several volatile fields of the same node (for example, the
links of a tree node) are independently subject to atomic
updates. These classes enable greater flexibility in how and when to
use atomic updates, at the expense of more awkward reflection-based
setup, less convenient usage, and weaker guarantees.
The The atomic classes also support method weakCompareAndSet,
which has limited applicability. On some platforms, the weak version
may be more efficient than compareAndSet in the normal case,
but differs in that any given invocation of the
weakCompareAndSet method may return false
spuriously (that is, for no apparent reason)AtomicIntegerArray
, AtomicLongArray
, and AtomicReferenceArray
classes further
extend atomic operation support to arrays of these types. These
classes are also notable in providing volatile access
semantics for their array elements, which is not supported for
ordinary arrays.
The AtomicMarkableReference
class associates a single boolean with a reference. For example, this
bit might be used inside a data structure to mean that the object
being referenced has logically been deleted. The AtomicStampedReference
class associates
an integer value with a reference. This may be used for example, to
represent version numbers corresponding to series of updates.
Atomic classes are designed primarily as building blocks for implementing non-blocking data structures and related infrastructure classes. The compareAndSet method is not a general replacement for locking. It applies only when critical updates for an object are confined to a single variable.
Atomic classes are not general purpose replacements for java.lang.Integer and related classes. They do not define methods such as hashCode and compareTo. (Because atomic variables are expected to be mutated, they are poor choices for hash table keys.) Additionally, classes are provided only for those types that are commonly useful in intended applications. For example, there is no atomic class for representing byte. In those infrequent cases where you would like to do so, you can use an AtomicInteger to hold byte values, and cast appropriately. You can also hold floats using Float.floatToIntBits and Float.intBitstoFloat conversions, and doubles using Double.doubleToLongBits and Double.longBitsToDouble conversions.

Requiem for a Dream - Blu-ray Disc
Based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr., this gritty drama concerns four people trapped by their addictions. Harry (Jared Leto), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are impoverished heroin addicts living in Coney Island, NY, while Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is a fellow addict trying to distance herself from her wealthy father. Harry dreams of scoring a pound of smack, from which he could make enough money to open a clothing boutique with Marion, but so far he and his friends can barely scrape by supporting their own habits. Meanwhile, Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn), who spends her days watching television, is told she has the opportunity to appear on her favorite game show; wanting to lose enough weight to fit into her favorite red dress, she visits a sleazy doctor who gives her a prescription for amphetamines. Soon Sara has a drug habit of her own that is spiraling out of control. Requiem for a Dream was directed by Darren Aronofsky, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Selby; it was Aronofsky's second feature, following his acclaimed independent film Pi. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Wanted) bring to life an animated adventure, which expands director Shane Acker's short film and features voice talent by Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly and Jennifer Connelly.

Montgomery County sheriff's officials say they're searching for a 24-year-old man in connection with a fatal shooting.
Jason Curtis Ferguson is suspected of shooting 19-year-old James Thomas McCollum during a botched burglary Monday morning.
Officials say Ferguson ran from police Monday and ditched his car in the woods.
Ferguson became the subject of a search that involved officers chasing him on foot, dogs tracking his scent and a police helicopter.
State Troopers and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation are helping sheriff's officials with the investigation.
Pike Road is about 15 miles southeast of Montgomery.

Non-starchy Vegetables
Eat more! You don't often hear that when you have diabetes, but non-starchy vegetables are one food group where you can satisfy your appetite.
Vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals—and with so few calories and carbohydrate, everyone can enjoy more!
There are two main types of vegetables—starchy and non-starchy. For this section, we are going to focus only on the non-starchy vegetables.
Starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn and peas are included in the "Grains and Starchy Vegetables" section because they contain more carbohydrate.
What are the Best Choices?
The best choices are fresh, frozen and canned vegetables and vegetable juices without added sodium, fat or sugar.
- If using canned or frozen vegetables, look for ones that say low sodium or no salt added on the label.
- As a general rule, frozen or canned vegetables in sauces are higher in both fat and sodium.
- If using canned vegetables with sodium, drain the vegetables and rinse with water. Then cook the rinsed vegetables in fresh water. This will cut back on how much sodium is left on the vegetables.
For good health, try to eat at least 3-5 servings of vegetables a day. This is a minimum and more is better! A serving of vegetables is:
- ½ cup of cooked vegetables or vegetable juice
- 1 cup of raw vegetables
Tips for Carb Counters
Generally, non-starchy vegetables have about 5 grams of carbohydrate in ½ cup cooked or 1 cup raw. Most of the carbohydrate is fiber so unless you eat more than 1 cup of cooked or 2 cups of raw at a time, you may not need to count the carbohydrates from the non-starchy vegetables.
Tips for the Plate Method
Enjoy the colorful variety of vegetables to brighten your plate. With half of your plate filled with vegetables, your options are endless for delicious combinations. If you are still hungry after the food on your plate is gone, try having a salad with a low-calorie dressing to satisfy your appetite and get an extra serving or two of vegetables in at the same time.
Tips for using the Glycemic Index
You can enjoy the wide variety of vegetables using the glycemic index. Almost all vegetables contain very little carbohydrate and have very low GI value. Enjoy!
Common Non-starchy Vegetables
The following is a list of common non-starchy vegetables:
- Amaranth or Chinese spinach
- Artichoke
- Artichoke hearts
- Asparagus
- Baby corn
- Bamboo shoots
- Beans (green, wax, Italian)
- Bean sprouts
- Beets
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Cabbage (green, bok choy, Chinese)
- Carrots
- Cauliflower
- Celery
- Chayote
- Coleslaw (packaged, no dressing)
- Cucumber
- Daikon
- Eggplant
- Greens (collard, kale, mustard, turnip)
- Hearts of palm
- Jicama
- Kohlrabi
- Leeks
- Mushrooms
- Okra
- Onions
- Pea pods
- Peppers
- Radishes
- Rutabaga
- Salad greens (chicory, endive, escarole, lettuce, romaine, spinach, arugula, radicchio, watercress)
- Sprouts
- Squash (cushaw, summer, crookneck, spaghetti, zucchini)
- Sugar snap peas
- Swiss chard
- Tomato
- Turnips
- Water chestnuts
- Yard-long beans

Bloom Here, Bloom Now
So often we are busy waiting to bloom into our full potential. We can be limited by our own thinking that says we have to be in the "perfect" place and time in our careers or in our lives for things to unfold or for shifts to happen.
Or we can be so busy searching for opportunities on distant horizons that we miss seeing, exploring or seeking out an entire field of possibilities that is waiting for us right in our own backyard.
We can make it so much harder than it really needs to be.
The truth is that many opportunities and possibilities can unfold for us when we do our part and simply be open to blooming where we are planted.

Martin makes scoring return in Shield win
8:40am Friday 13th September 2013 in Sport
PERSHORE prepared for their Midlands Three West (South) opener by beating Veseyans 36-16 in the North Midlands Shield first round.
The Piddle Parkers, who visit Nuneaton-based Manor Park in the league on Saturday (3pm), started strongly with expansive rugby.
They took an early lead after good support and quick recycling allowed prop Alex Peel to crash over from a swift penalty by captain Lewis Dolphin who converted.
Pershore's indiscipline was their downfall but Veseyans only converted two of four first-half penalties.
The hosts still played entertaining rugby and clinched a second try through a driveover from number eight Martin Hope.
When Pershore's pack capitalised on set-piece dominance, quick off-loading from fly-half Tommy Hayes, Peel, AJ Hanson and Toby Grace released Jay Martin to score on his return after five years away.
The second period was hit by a severe downpour but Pershore adapted better and Hope scored again.
But Hayes scored the best try, collecting a high ball and showing a turn of pace to score under the posts. Dolphin converted.
Pershore suffered three sinbinnings for persistent infringement from Grace, replacement prop Karl Evans and Peel.
Veseyans converted one more penalty and crossed for a converted try.
But Pershore completed the scoring when brothers AJ and full-back Damian Hanson linked well to release the impressive Martin who bounded over the line.
- Evesham played their first under 19s colts match for four years, beating Kidderminster Carolians 26-7 in the North Midlands League.
But they did not settle until opening the scoring as flyhalf Mike Harris released Harry Perry for a try in the corner.
A second score soon followed as Joe Beirns caught a line-out and set a maul which was driven over for Alex Stoddart to touch down.
Harris converted.
Evesham extended their lead as Jordan Griffiths sprinted down the wing and off-loaded for Wilf Watson to swerve his way through under the posts.
James Bishop converted but KCs fought back with a converted try.
However, flanker Iain Stoddart led the defence to be man-of-the-match.
A Dom Berry break ended in a second try for Watson to secure the bonus point and Bishop converted.

Agave Restaurant at Desert Diamond Casino
Online Reservations
The staff is pleasant and reservations are honored. The waiter was attentive but not pushy. The food was good, but I don't appreciate their "jumble" style of presentation. I don't understand "Piled up" look? I don't do that at home. Nor do I care for having mashed and sweet potatoes together....... Again the food was good and the price was right, but I think most people could do without the attempt at fancy.......we're just plain folks...
we tried to convey that we were talking for a bit and were in no hurry to order (it was early and not busy yet) but we were not given a slower service approach . . . that concept was not 'available' so to speak . . . we got over it . . . just thought I'd pass it along . . .
We always enjoy visiting the Agave. It's close to home & fun to meet with friends for a good dinner on a weekend----------happy to have it close by.The service is excellent too.
A group of 10 of us celebrated a 50th b-day. The staff was pleasant and efficient, the food and service were great. They treated the b-day girl to a special piece of b-day cake with a candle. We usually choose this restaurant for our girls' nights and/or special gatherings, and for family special dinners because of its quality, without the drive to Tucson.
Love the new chef it was obvious he was new as soon as the food arrived delicious and great presentation
2 hours from start to finish.....but we probably eat too fast most of the time, so this was good or us.......b
We did the $29 dinner for two. Our meal (the tendorloin) was excellent overall despite overcooked steaks & luke warm vegies & potatoes. Dessert was fabulous. I ordered ranch dressing for my salad as I do not like blue cheese. Neither your menu nor the waitress pointed out there would be blue cheese on the salad. It seemed like the waitress thought I should eat it anyway, but finally said she could replace it. Later she said it should mention there is blue cheese in the salad on the menu. My suggestion would be to briefly describe your salad on the menu and/or provide a substitue cheese, ie. feta.
Our party of four found that The Agave Restaurant provided a fine night of dining out. Our food was quite good, cooked as requested, presented in an artful and pleasing manner and served by an excellent, but not intrusive waitress. We all enjoyed the evening and will visit again.
This was our 2nd trip to this restaurant due to the summer special's at chef choice. We were so happy with the selections and just how they were paired with wine. We will definitely come back hope to see winter special's as well, love, Love the green chili inside of the chicken breast with the roasted corn risotto.
Manu selection was good, not overwhelming. Prices are fair, comparable to other fine dining restaurants. Beautiful food presentation. And the bananas foster dessert was good but not your traditional table side with flames, still yummy!
Who would have thought that a Casino restaurant would have the best seafood around? In the desert, no less! We have had the plank salmon and the macadamia nut encrusted cod there several times and its always "just right" for these two bears. Agave is our go-to place when we want to have a nice meal close to home.
It was our 44th year anniversary and we wanted a good meal. And for that reason alone, we went to The Agave. They have never failed us. For special occasions and when dining with our northern visitors, we always choose The Agave.
We arrived late based on going to a concert, but our server was efficient and got to the event on time.
We had a special occasion and this restaurant provided a uniquely delightful choice of well prepared and delicious seafood entrees that are hard to find in this area. The rest of the menu has enough variety to tantalize the taste of most diners. Every dish we saw served at other tables around us looked as good as the ones we choose off the seafood menu.The service was excellent considering that it was a "show" night at the Diamond Casino event center. Having our reservation through Open Table took all the stress out of last minute decision making on a Saturday evening.
This is a great high-end restaurant at the Desert Diamond Casino. Lots to do after dinner - casino, Karaoke, bar scene, and good shows. Recommend dinner before any of those activities. I had stuffed 6 crabmeat stuffed prawns wrapped in bacon that looked like they weighed a half a pound a piece! Drinks are reasonable and very good.
We had dinner at Agave before a concert at the casino, theater entrance just across the way.. So very east. The menus was very good, the house Cab was very nice for $5. We will have dinner again. Thank you
our service was excellent and the food was brought out quickly and tasted great.
Have to wait a minute for the food, but well worth it. The presentation is elegant and everything was delicious.
Our meal was very good. Service could stand some improvement. No offer of a refill on the rolls, (you are only given 3). No offer of fresh ground pepper for the salad. (we saw it was offered at other tables)
I went with a small group and all were satisfied with the food and service. We will go again.
It was my girl friends Birthday so the drive gave us time to talk and we were very pleased with the sets and the service the food was very good.
We were treated nicely from the time we walked in until we left. The food was excellent and the service was great
Great food overall and the salmon salad was wonderful. It had a nice selection of lettuce with fruit. All the Food was presently well. Enjoyed our lunch very much with a quiet atmosphere.
One of the few places that offer a variety of gluten free choices!
We had a wonderful time - food was superb, service by Marianne was superb, ambience was great, wine was good. Thanks. We'll be back!!
CLASSY RESTAURANT - REMINDED ME OF A RESTAURANT IN NYC - presentation of food "awesome"
I took my girlfriend for dinner and we loved it. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back.
The food at the Agave is excellent and well presented. The service could not be better. The Agave is quiet, well appointed and has appropriate ambiance. We have also enjoyed lunch there often. However, the management policies are hard to understand. Their website offers specials, but upon arrival those specials are not offered. The menu changes with events held at the nearby Diamond Center, but the website and reservation system does not reflect these changes. Making a reservation always leaves the diner with an uncertainty as to menu and as to pricing. In fact, one always wonders if he has actually made a reservation at all. This defect makes it hard to enjoy what otherwise is a very good restaurant in a place with few such venues.
Gather at the Agave Restaurant for a great lunch or dinner. Service from Brittany was so perfect. Food was outstanding.
the pork not so much. Butternut squash risotto not good. Had risotto with the chicken last month. THAT was very good. Recommend you go back to the sept. recipe. Always like to choose The Agave.
The Hostess makes you feel wanted and appreciated. The server was outstanding and is always. The food and its presentatation was excellent....
The Agave the Desert Diamond Casino is first class all the way. They had a limited concert menu that night, but it was still excellent. Had crab stuffed prawns which were delicious, as were the side dishes. A lovely Sabanyon with berries for dessert. Wait staff was very attentive. Can't wait to go back.
Betsy, our server, was on the ball...we never had to wait for follow-up service. Food was tops, as usual! Staff super friendly.
Four of us dined together at the Agave at the Desert Diamond Casino. We were pleased with the menu, the meals, and the service. We're lucky to have such a nice restaurant so close by.
I thought it was wrong charging for a baked potato, when ordering prime rib. Mashed potatoes or baked potato should be a choice. The creamed spinach was not creamy. The bar service was good and the wait staff was great. Mash potatoes is not a good choice for prime rib or a steak.
Nice dinner for special occasion. Cake and candles were a nice touch.
From the online easy reservation site to the to go bags it was service with a smile and every bite fulfilled our expectations. Beautiful hostess that made us feel welcomed and special! We felt everyone cared that we had a perfect dining experience. The prime rib and filet mignonette were the best we have had in ages! Thank you for a lovely evening.
We love the Agave. We go there often as it is convenient, good food and reasonable prices. We get god service and combine it with a little gambling
Excellent food and great experience. The service was also excellent. I will go back again.
The filet Mignon with bree was excellent--will have it again! The Manhattan was well made and hit the spot.
This was a return trip for us and again we weren't disappointed. We had the seared Ahi Tuna appetizer and although we enjoyed this same appetizer on our previous trip, they had changed both the sauce and the presentation. Suffice it to say we wanted to lick the plate clean it was so wonderful. We ordered the same entree's and they were just as great as last time. Although we ordered bananas foster for dessert, we were somewhat disappointed. Instead of being cut length wise the bananas were cut crosswise and the banana was somewhat over ripe. The dessert was served on a flat plate inside a woven sugar basket and unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy a combined bite of bananas, ice cream an sauce. Too small a portion and bowl would be better
We took our mom for her 84th birthday as it is her favorite "fancy" restaurant in the area. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. Our wait person was not as attentive as I would have liked but he was pleasant. It is probably better to go to the Agave with a smaller party and not take small children, but that is on us and not the fault of the restaurant. We will go back often because it is a lovely place with excellent food AND you are able to talk with your dinner partners w/o yelling to be heard.
We were on our way to a concert and wanted a nice lunch first. We had gotten a reservation for the Agave restaurant, but it was not necessary as the restaurant was less than 10% full at noon. The lunch menu has two sections; full dinner selections and lunch selections. We both opted for the burger with bacon, green chili and the usual adornments. It came with a side, I chose the salad which was more than the usual garden salad. The burger was done medium rare as requested and was more meat than would have been required (but I had no trouble eating it) The number of ingredients created a logistics problem with getting it into the mouth, but I handled it. My companion simply removed the top bun and ate it as an open face sandwich.
Great Thanksgiving dinner. Our party had 3 of the 4 choices and all were excellent. Service could not have been better. A special occasion for all.
The food was excellent except for the fact that I received two but ends for my turkey instead of two really succulent slices of turkey. The service was fantastic. I always enjoy the food at the Agave.
At first I was put out by not being able to call in the reservation and instead to do via computer but it worked out fine. Went for Thanksgiving and we all had different entrees salmon, prime rib and turkey, my sister was able to get all turkey instead of turkey and ham, all entrees were excellent and the service was also excellent. Enjoyed the dessert trios. Great overall experience. We are frequent diners at Agave and appreciated the extra efforts for holiday dining.
First time to Agave and definitely will go again food was delicious.
My favorite place to go. Great food, gambling and the sports bar is a good hangout.People always helpful and cheery. great experience.
The appetizer was horrible. We had stuffed mushrooms which were tough. The mushrooms were very over done. Our main dish was delish....stuff shrimp.
The online reservation is really great. I Iike the confirmation. We were happy with our lunch and the server was very organized.

Good, one more for me. I am waiting for GTX 690 ballpark performance from single GPU. If I get that I am happy even at 900 USD. Basically having that kind of monster single GPU without SLi downsides is win win win. 8800 Ultra oh yes.
Couple things: Did anyone ever confirm that the Titan was the 780? I see it as a "special edition" type card with limited production, after all I remember reading "no changes can be made by the manufacturers" so they will all look the same, not even a sticker from asus or evga or etc But was that confirmed? Secondly, when was the last single card with 6gb ddr5 benchmarked in 11? Thirdly, if the score is true, I'll be buying one for sure, if its not true but close, I'll still be buying it. If its only 50% better then single 680, I'll pass.
One never knows! But it doesn't hurt to hope for it being the real thing does it?! And I think the price will be $549 at launch
I don't believe Titan will be the 780, but again a standalone design, manufactured in limited production same as a 690, but they may well permit stickers.
I can understand upgrading from maybe a 580, but not a 680. How many games do you 680 owners have problems with?
If it is faster than the GTX 690 and costs less... than that's a good thing right, we really need GPUs to push biger ressolutions don't we... We've been playing around (literally) with 1920x1080, for what, 8 years now. Booooring... Bring on 3840x2160@120Hz/3D gaming! Yeah! LOL
I'm still chugging along with good performance in games with my trusty EVGA 460 GTX 1GB ... But my resolution is small 1366x768 To me 1920x1080 is a crazy resolution xD
1920x1080 is the norm man! But Yeah that 460 is a great card. I used one for a night playing CODMW and the piss-x was Awesome compared to a 5870!!!! But Im waiting for the next breed to hit the market!
That wasn't PhysX. I remember that CODBO had additional effects enabled when playing with an nvidia card but I don't know if that is the case with MW as well.
You're lucky, you don't know what you're missing. Once you move to a higher resolution you can't go back and you have to spend a fortune on cards like the Titan to max out games. I love my 2560x1440 monitor, but it sure is disappointing to have to turn down settings with my $400 high-end card!
I posted in the earlier thread, that "85%" is misleading. If it's 85% of the theoretical performance, then the Titan may well be faster than the 690 in games because it won't have to deal with SLI scaling issues. Anyways if it does end up performing that good, I'm eating my hat ... ... and then getting one. Factor in inflation and that $500 isn't too far off from today's $800.
It's somewhat very unlikely that performance will be more than 2x of its predecessor. Usually 2x is the limit at which they hold onto. Though they rarely do it. For AMD i only remember it happening with HD4800 -> HD5800 transition where HD5800 was twice as fast.
I remember paying over $1000 for the X1900XTX on the first week of it's release.. Video cards are so cheap these days.. but then all pc hardware pretty much is now. Like memory.. Memory is crazy cheap now compared to say, what it was like in 2005.
Except the 680 (1st gen, medium kepler) isn't really its predecessor. The GK110 is already the refined big kepler. This is like GTX580 (second gen, big fermi) compared to GTX460 (1st gen, medium fermi). Double the performance is very plausible. I'm just hoping Nvidia is sensible about it and doesn't go for double the price.
Depending on performance numbers, I'll be getting either a 790 or 8990. (or whatever the dual GPU card will be called.) My 7970's have been disappointing. Low FPS in WoW @ maxxed out 1080p
Speculation If that score is from 2 cards, then one card would be betwen 680 and 690. And for a 3500 4000 X score, it tottaly wont be worth the price. But for a single GPU, that may well be the mother ship of gpus out there.
