LGA 1156socket is Intel main product in 2nd half 2009. The core technology is same as hi-end product LGA1366 which launched last year and make minor modification. It will replace current mid-high product line. Currently, LGA 1156 Chipset is P55, is Intel single chipset MB. Some MCH functions are built in CPU. This is the key difference between P55 and X58. Also, X58 is triple channel and QPI design. P55 is dual channel design. Not hard to see that all MB manufacturers has announced their P55 products. Same as hi-end X58, P55 also separate into hi-end, mid-end and entry price level. This is GIGABYTE most hi-end one. The model name is P55-UD6. Product package is big color box. It's also the usual size for hi-end product. GIGABYTE P55-UD6 Body Ultra Durable3 is the key feature Now the first launch LGA1156 CPU are i5-750, i7-850 and i7-870 3 models. The i7 support HT technology. This article is retail version LGA 1156, the most hi-end one, Intel Core i7-870, clock 2.93GHz, L3 8MB. Intel quad core CPU all bundle with copper bottom Cooler. However, for i7 with HT, the original cooler cannot suffer for OC.

Only if you use i5-750 without HT, these 2 platforms price gap will be 100~150USD. Otherwise, current P55 boards in the market are around 5000~9000NTD which is 150~275USD. By contrast, X58 boards are launched around 10 months and the price is around 6500~10000NTD which is 200~300USD. In MB price, new P55 boards are positioning on more hi-end and the market will have more lower price P55 boards in the future. During that time, the price gap between 2 platforms will be bigger. For CPU, LGA 1156 will have more variety i5/i7 CPU, even entry i3 or dual core i7 CPU to support LGA 1156 will make this platform be more affordable. GIGABYTE will also have over 10 models as naming UD3/UD4/UD6 P55 MB. Now LGA 1156 platform starts from mid-high market and there are more PCU and vary boards in the market. We are looking forward LGA 1156 structure platform moving to mainstream market to make users have more choice in affordable price.
Nice review and pics, although you may want to put "56K Warning" in the title since you have all those high res pictures that take a while to download. On my 800Kb/s apartment connection it took like 2-3 minutes to download the pics. Still a great review though!
Yeah, but that means people are going to go from paying about $240 to paying over $600 for the same if not worse performance? Whats Intel exactly thinking here?
They have cheaper processors coming out, this is just the most high end variant they're coming out with. For example the processors Tiger Direct will carry are below with prices listed in their book. | i7-870 | $649.99 | i7-860 | $349.99 | i5-750 | $229.99 When the lower end i5's and higher end i3's come out, expect similar to current prices.
still it does not make sense i7-950 is 570$ on newegg and if you think rumoured 1156b(with integretad igp) and 1156c sockets not a good investment .
I actually didn't realize the 860 and 870 were i7's, looks like they will out perform the 920 actually. Still don't understand the massive price gaps in Intels top procs though.
Wow, those P55's will give us 1366 a run for our money. Wonder how an i5 would fair overclocked to 4.0Ghz, the chip you have is crazy expensive and not the typical chip a P55 user would own. Thanks for the Techpron and review.

Arabic Medicine in the Mediterranean
By Prof. Charles Burnett
In spite of differences of religion and language, a single scientific culture can be found throughout the Mediterranean region from at least the period of the Roman Empire until the early modern period. This culture was developed by the Greeks (who themselves owed much to the Egyptians, the Mesopotamian civilisations and the Indians), partly committed to Latin in Antiquity, but more comprehensively translated into Syriac and Arabic from the 7th century onwards; from the late 10th century onwards the slender threads of ancient science in Latin began to be woven into the rich fabric of Arabic science, so that, by the mid-13th century, Latin culture in Europe enjoyed the same level of sophistication as Arabic culture in the Islamic world and relied on the same authorities: the Greek classics of arithmetic (Nicomachus), geometry (Euclid), astronomy (Ptolemy), astrology (again Ptolemy, but also Dorotheus and Vettius Valens), and medicine (Hippocrates and Galen), as well as the Arabic masters in arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry (al-Khwarizmi and Abu Kamil), in astronomy (again al-Khwarizmi, al-Battani, and az-Zarqali), astrology (Abu Ma'shar and numerous others) and medicine (Hunayn ibn Ishaq, Ishaq al-Isra'ili, Ibn al-Jazzar, az-Zahrawi, and, again, numerous others). Moreover, through the spreading of Islam to Persia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and beyond, the same scientific culture embraced an area far wider than the Mediterranean basin. Thus, a work written by an astronomer in Morocco in the 13th century can be found copied in a manuscript in Hyderabad. A 'philosopher' at the court of Frederick II in Sicily, originating from Antioch, was trained in medicine and philosophy in Mosul and Baghdad, and served the Turkish Seljuks of Rum and the Armenian regent before coming to Western Europe. A scholar writing a philosophical work in Greek, also in Sicily in the 13th century, could use a Latin translation of a commentary on Aristotle by the Arabic Ibn Rushd, etc.

Baghdad 1100 CE). Glasgow University Library, Special Collections Department, Sp Coll MS Hunter 40. (Source).
The history of this culture in respect to medicine can be summarised briefly. Ancient Greek medicine culminated in the work of Galen (who wrote in Greek in Rome in the 2nd century CE). His works, several of which are commentaries on those of Hipppocrates of Kios, fill 39 volumes in their modern edition, but a selection of 16 of them was made for teaching medicine in Alexandria in late Antiquity. Greek medical centres flourished in Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Edessa and Amida, and even spread into the Sassanid kingdom of Persia. After the rise of Islam, it was from one of these Persian centres, Gundishapur in southwest Iran, that, according to a well-known story of the time, a Nestorian Christian doctor called Jurjis ibn Jibra'il ibn Bakhtishu', came to Baghdad in the third quarter of the 8th century, and introduced Greek medicine to the caliph there. But other Syriac Christian communities within the Islamic caliphate were also sources for this medical knowledge. In the early 9th century, a 'house of wisdom' was founded in Baghdad, as a library and a centre for the translation of scientific texts. It is here that Hunayn ibn Ishaq, another Nestorian Christian, translated into Syriac or Arabic a vast number of Greek texts, including (of Galen's works) some 95 into Syriac, and 34 into Arabic. (His son Ishaq ibn Hunayn, and his nephew Hubaysh, rendered the remaining Syriac texts into Arabic.) But Galen was not the only source of Arabic medicine: another Christian, Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabari, included a chapter on Indian medicine in his book The Paradise of Wisdom, written in 850.
Some who were concerned at the danger of the faith shown in Greek science generally as threatening Islam, established a 'medicine of the Prophet', based on the sayings of Muhammad, and indigenous Arabic medical lore. However, the Galenic tradition became the main source of medical learning, and the great Arabic and Muslim medical writers belonged to it: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (865-925), Ali ibn al-'Abbas al-Majusi (10th century), and above all, Abu 'Ali al-Husayn ibn 'Abdallah Ibn Sina (Avicenna, d. 1037). These scholars and practitioners wrote their main works in Arabic, but by origin were Persian, and we can deduce from the name of al-Majusi that he came from a Zoroastrian family. During the 11th century an important medical centre developed in Qayrouan in present-day Tunisia, and it is from here that a certain `Constantine the African' travelled to nearby Sicily and Salerno in Southern Italy in the third quarter of the 11th century and introduced Arabic medicine to the West for the first time. In Salerno there was already a school of medicine, where a few Greek medical texts, mainly of a practical nature, were known in Latin translations. Constantine complemented, and a to a large extant, replaced these texts with his translation of the comprehensive medical textbook of al-Majusi, and several texts by the Qayrouanese doctors, Ishaq Isra'ili, Ishaq ibn 'Imran, and Ibn al-Jazzar. In this context a short curriculum of five texts on medicine was established, called the Articella, which was based on translations from both Arabic and Greek, and included texts on determining medical conditions by examining urine and by feeling the pulse, respectively. Constantine's work was, in turn, complemented by the activity of Gerard of Cremona in Toledo (d. 1187) in the mid-12th century, who translated from Arabic several of the texts of Galen from the Alexandrian curriculum, as well as substantial works by al-Razi and the Spanish-Arabic authors, al-Zahrawi and Ibn al-Wafid. His most important contribution, however, was the translation of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, which became the main textbook for medical education in Western universities until well into the 17th century.
Figure 2: Two recent books on Islamic medicine published by Edinburgh University Press: Islamic Medicine by Manfred Ullmann (1997) and Medieval Islamic Medicine by Peter E. Pormann and Emilie Savage-Smith (2007).
What was the nature of this medicine? Avicenna gives the classical definition at the beginning of his Canon: 'I say that medicine is a science in which one learns of the states of the human body with respect to what is healthy and what deviates from it, for the purpose of preserving health when it already exists, and restoring it when it has been lost.' The basis of this medicine was 'humoral pathology', i.e. an understanding that the human body consisted of four humours: blood, yellow bile (choler), phlegm, and black bile (melancholy), which were related to other `quaterneries': the elements air, fire, earth and water; the seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter; the ages of man, childhood, youth, middle age and old age; and the triplicities of the signs of the zodiac. Good health depended on the four humours being well-balanced in respect to each other (the Greek term is 'eukrasia' – a 'good mixing', 'temperament' or 'complexion'). According to an account (reported, for example, by Petrus Alfonsi, the Arabic-educated Christian convert from Judaism in the early 12th century), Adam was created with a perfect balance of the four humours. Galen, however, believed that each man had an individual complexion, determined by his nature and age, and by external factors such as the climate. Hence each person had a 'temperament' which affected both his character and his health, and could be described as sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic or melancholic. The aim of medicine was to preserve the best temperament for each man, and to restore the balance of the humours when one or other became excessively strong or weak. For the first, comprehensive works on 'diets' and `regimina sanitatis' (i.e. healthy living practices) were compiled, the best known being that of Ishaq Isra'ili, in which different `diets' are prescribed according to the temperament of the man, his age, the climate, the time of year, etc. For the second, it was necessary either to drain off or burn off the excessive humour (by `blood-letting' or `cautery' respectively), or to counteract the deficiency of one humour by prescribing medicines rich in the opposite one. Since each humour was conceived in terms of an element with two qualities (e.g. melancholy was earth, consisting of the cold and the dry), one used medicines which had the requisite complementary qualities. Thus plants, minerals, seeds, `waters' and the other `simple medicines' were described in terms of how hot, cold, dry and moist they were. For each quality there were four degrees, and these are listed in textbooks called `books of simples' or 'of degrees'. For example, Ibn al-Jazzar (in a work translated by Constantine the African as 'Liber de gradibus') writes that: "Aloes wood is hot and dry, both in the second degree: it strengthens the brain and all the interior parts of the body. It drives out superfluous moisture from the body, and especially dissolves 'windiness' in the stomach (i.e. flatulence). It stops diarrhoea and attacks incontinence which results from coldness and weakness of the bladder" [1].
Figure 3: Modern painting showing the physician Al-Razi (ca 865-925 CE) at the bedside of a young patient afflicted with measles. (Source).
The origin of this classification by 'degrees', which is fully developed in Galen, is not clear. In Arabic medicine, however, the system is extended much further, probably under Indian influence. First, foods become classified under one of eight `tastes', each of which is associated with two qualities (e.g. sweet is hot-moist, and therefore associated with air and blood). Thus, the qualities of different foodstuffs can be gauged by tasting them. This leads some writers to say that taste is, in fact, the most dependable of the five senses, because it alone discerns the true nature of a substance. (Arabic doctors may owe their systematization of the tastes to Indian medicine, although the number of tastes for the Indians is six.) [2]. This classification is extended to the planets and to the signs of the zodiac, so that Jupiter is described as sweet and Mars, bitter; the triplicity of Aries is bitter, while, of the individual signs in the triplicity, Aries is hot in the second degree and dry in the first, Leo is hot and dry in the fourth degree and Sagittarius is hot in the first degree, and dry in the second [3]. The right amount of the relevant qualities can also be obtained by combining several different ingredients, in 'compound medicines' or 'theriacs' (the origin of our word 'treacle'), which also formed a genre of medical literature.
Constantine the African, in the preface to his translation of al-Majusi, regards medicine as belonging as much to ethics as to natural science and logic/metaphysics (the two other divisions of secular science current in his day). In the same work, he translates al-Majusi's version of the ancient Hippocratic oath, of which some phrases may be given here: 'Whoever a master undertakes to educate (in medicine), should be of good character and should in turn teach others, without payment.… aim should be to restore the health of the patient, and he should not do this in the hope of earning money, nor should he pay more attention to wealthy patients than to poor ones, or to the noble rather than the ignoble. He should not include harmful potions in his teaching, nor allow his pupils to do so, lest any lay person might overhear the lesson and mix a deadly potion on his own accord. Nor should he teach how to cause an abortion. When he visits the patient he should not pay amorous attentions to the wife (of the patient) or his maid or daughter… He should avoid overindulgence; he should beware of the delights of this world, including alcohol. Such things disturb the mind and strengthen the vices of the body… He should be god-fearing, humble, kind, and loving, and should seek to be helped by divine aid'.
A more basic ethical dimension, however, is intrinsic to Arabic medicine in itself. As I have already indicated, the complexions also determined the character of the individual--whether he is sanguine, melancholy etc.--and the whole idea of balancing the humours by avoiding excesses has a moral tone. But above all, this kind of medicine can be seen as encompassing both the body and the soul. Galen wrote a separate text on 'how the nature of the soul follows the complexion of the body', and many symptoms that we might today characterise as emotional states, such as 'love sickness' and 'melancholy', were classified along with physical diseases. Correspondingly, therapies included pleasant recreations, and, especially, music.
In certain texts, 'spiritual diseases' were separated from `bodily diseases' [4]. Thus al-Razi added to the book of medicine that he composed for his patron, Abu Salih al-Mansur, governor of Rayy, another book `on spiritual medicine' (al-tibb al-ruhani), which he begins as follows:
"Now that I have finished describing physical remedies, I am going to mention spiritual ones. Know that mental diseases are also amenable to treatment. But their treatment is carried out by means of musical instruments which convey to the soul through the sense of hearing the harmonious sounds which are created by the motions and contacts of the heavenly spheres in their natural motion, which affect the right perceptions…"
The Greek doctor, Rufus of Ephesus, dedicated a whole text to cures for melancholy, of which fragments have survived mainly in Arabic medical works. As a sample one may quote the following passage from Ibn al-Jazzar's Guide to the Traveller (Viaticum) :
In the case of sickness caused by excessive love, to prevent men from being submerged in excessive brooding, tempered and fragrant wine should be offered, and hearing various kinds of music and speaking with dear friends (should be encouraged)… Rufus says: "Sadness is taken away not only by wine drunk in moderation, but also by other things like it, such as a temperate bath. Hence it is that, when certain people enter a bath, they are inspired to sing. Therefore, certain philosophers say that the sound is like the spirit, the wine is like the body, of which the one is aided by the other." Others say that Orpheus said: "Emperors invited me to feasts so that they might take their pleasure from me, but I am, rather, delighted by them, since I can turn their spirits in whatever direction I want to, for example from anger to gentleness, from sadness to happiness, from greed to generosity, from fear to boldness". This is the application of musical instruments and wine in respect to the health of the soul'.

The certificate is in the handwriting of Ibn al-Nafis himself and dated the 29th of Jumada I in 668 H (25 January 1270). The National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, MS A69, fol. 67b.

In the Arabic world, the effects of music were made into a science of music therapy. The various `modes' (called maqamat) out of which melodies were composed, which differed by both rhythmic and melodic patterns, were brought into line with the humoral quaterneries that I have already described. At the simplest level `cold' maqamat could be used for refreshing patients during the day, while 'hot' maqamat were appropriate to the evening and at night-time. But more detailed combinations were devised: e.g. al-Kindi, the 9th-century 'philosopher of the Arabs', assigned 12 maqamat to the twelve signs of the zodiac, with which they shared the corresponding elemental qualities. He extended the analogy further: the ratios which create musical harmony would have the same effects as the aspects of the planets, one to another, in the sky. A 10th-century writer, Ibn Hindu, describes how these theories should be put into practice:
"There is a maqam which arouses sadness, another which brings joy, one relaxing and tranquilizing, another disquieting and exciting, one which keeps one awake, another which induces sleep. Whenever we order those who suffer from melancholy to be treated with the respective modes, it helps them. The physician need not himself be a performer of the drum, the flute or the dance, just as he does not need to be a pharmacist or a phlebotomist, but rather he employs these people to aid him in his therapy".
In the mid 17th century, the Turkish sultan Bayezit is described as employing ten musicians for the cure of the sick, to strengthen the spirit of the mentally ill, and to reduce black bile. Three of them were singers, the rest were instrumentalists who played the flute, violin, flageolet, cymbals, harp and lute. They came three times a week and played a piece for the ill, whereupon many of them felt relieved. They understood most of the maqamat. When the maqamat Rast, Busalik and Zankula were played, they instilled life in the patients. He ends by saying that `all instruments and all maqamat provide nourishment for the soul.'

As in the classification of tastes, so in that of maqamat the Indians provide a close parallel in their doctrine of raga. Both could have influenced Arabic mentalities at the time when Indian astronomers arrived in Baghdad with texts on astronomical tables and astrology in the late 8th century.
Balance of Mind, Body and Spirit
I emphasize the role of music and astrology to underline the holistic nature of Arabic medicine. The balance within a human being depended on the balance within the natural world surrounding him, and the harmony within his body and soul (as the microcosm) reflected the harmonies of the universe as whole (the macrocosm) whether viewed in terms of the regular movements of the heavenly bodies, or in terms of the laws of musical harmony. It is quite apt, in this case, that one of the principal translators of Arabic texts in the mid-12th century, Hermann of Carinthia, should end his own cosmology (the De essentiis) with a description of man in the following terms:
"(God) fitted man into a certain miniature pattern through the agency of the consonant choruses of the Muses, following the example of the heavenly harmony, whose leading movements, by their perpetual guidance, would temper the modes of this related music in man's body and soul."
Figure 6a-b: Illuminated pages with handpainted letters from the Latin translation of Ibn Sina's Al-Qanun fi 'l-tib, Avicenna, Canon Medicinae, Liber I-V (The Canon of Medicine, Books One to Five (Venice: 1486. Smithsonian Institution, Washington. (Source).
I would like to end my talk by describing al-Majusi's account of the spirit in man—i.e. the entity that is affected by music [5]. The Arabic doctor provides, in a succinct form, the common view expressed in Arabic medicine and its Latin derivatives as a whole. 'Spirit' is a corporeal substance that is divided into three parts. The first is the `natural spirit': it arises in the liver, and facilitates the natural processes of growth, digestion etc. The second is the `vital spirit': it arises in the heart and facilitates the natural movements of breathing and sensation. This `vital spirit' rises from the heart through the carotid veins in the neck into the head, becoming progressively purer as it rises and as it is `sieved' by the `rete mirabile' (a latticework of nerves) at the base of the brain. (Its impurities are expelled through the mucus of the nostrils). By the time it has reached the brain it has become an extremely subtle body, but remains corporeal. Here it has different functions in different parts of the brain. In the forepart it gathers together all the sensations and forms images of them. These it passes to the middle part of the brain, where it brings reason to bear on these images. Then it either produces action as a result of this application of reason, or it saves the considered images in the back part of the brain, as memories. (Al-Majusi goes on to say that there is a small opening in the partition between the middle and back part of the brain, which is covered by a worm-like object. When one wishes to remember something one bows one's head so that this cover opens and lets the memory through). At this point al-Majusi asks whether the spirit in the brain is the soul, as many say. If this is so (as al-Majusi is inclined to believe), then, since the spirit is corporeal, the soul also is corporeal. Soul and body form one continuum, of which the spirit/soul is at the most refined end. Now, this way of looking at the soul caused great problems when Arabic medicine was introduced into the Christian West. For Christians believed that the soul was a distinct entity from the body: it survived as an individual after the body, and was capable of experiencing punishment or reward. Several texts were written from the early 12th century onwards to try to reconcile these two positions, and in the end, at least in popular opinion, the idea of the separate entity of an immortal soul prevailed. But it is worth remembering that, in Arabic medicine, and consequently for many centuries in Western medicine too, through the idea of `spirit', the body and the soul were linked as closely as they are several forms of Eastern medicine.

How Skype Changed My Life
11/05/2010 in Play Blog by arianna.radji
As we mentioned in a previous blog, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT recently launched a short film competition called 'Digital Revolutions'. Entrants submitted films about how they see the world and the ways in which information technology impacts it. One of the shortlisted films from the amatuer category, made by Christine Conder, features Skype and showed how Skype has impacted her life. We think it's a wonderful story that we wanted to share with you all. Below is Christine's film and blog post about it's meaning. Enjoy!
The competition task was to make a film about the benefits digital technology had brought into my life. I decided to feature Skype in the film because it has made a tremendous difference to mine.
When I first started using a computer it was on dial up, and Skype chat was about all I could manage. Then we got broadband connection through the local community Wi-Fi network. My life changed.
My uncle bought my aunty a computer and camera which enabled us to keep in touch all through her chemotherapy because she lives a long way away from me, and Skype chat and video helped to keep her cheerful. My brother and sister live in the USA, and at Christmas we fire up Skype and the whole family come together. The time differences mean that the Skype is on nearly all day.
When my mum died we found Skype invaluable, because the phone line had to be free waiting for calls from undertakers and other funeral arrangers, but we had flights and accommodation to book for lots of people, so Skype took over. It gave us instant access to all the family and a virtual phone line with SkypeOut to ring hotels if they weren't online.
Since my grandchildren have been born they have been raised seeing me and talking to me on Skype. I am as much a part of their lives as if they all lived next door. When they get to the ages of 3 and 4, my grandchildren Skype me themselves to tell me all their news.
Nowadays people move all over the world with their careers, and Skype helps bridge the distance and make the world a smaller place. The old gossips over the garden wall now take place over the internet, and the world is better for it. Skype helps make the world go round, and it has been one of the best things in my life.

Thank you for posting this, I think it is great to have been given the chance to promote the benefits of having an internet connection in a rural area, and the digitalrevolutions docfest in Sheffield gave me the opportunity to push the message out to a wider audience. Now you have picked it up the message will go even wider. It is vital that everyone has access to the internet. Skype shrinks the world and brings your work or family to your door.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 28, 2011 Draft Mid-Terms Domestic Skaters, Part 4
by Jonathan Willis
Displaying pretext
There are more than a few interesting players in this edition of Draft Midterms: Kyle Rau won this year's "Mr. Hockey" award and along with Cason Hohmann provide a pair of high-end scorers, Neal Goff is a 6'4" rail who might be the youngest player drafted this summer and Barclay Goodrow is a power forward in the making who comes from a rugby background and whose father was drafted by the Canadian Football League. Along the way, we'll also consider a player who might be the nastiest defenseman in the draft, a 6'3" Finn who left the Finnish system to play in Southern California, and the player who was the highest-scoring forward in Saskatchewan midget hockey last year.
171. Todd Fiddler, Left Wing, 5'11", 193 lbs. WHL: 70GP, 23G, 15A, 38P, -2. Fiddler poured it on in the final month of the season, scoring six goals and adding five assists in nine March games, but it still has to be considered a disappointing season for a guy who led the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League in scoring last season. On the other hand, Fiddler does score goals, he did come on late, and he did what he did without the benefit of a lot of power play time.
My call: Fiddler is an interesting prospect but I suspect not much more than a late round player.
172. Cason Hohmann, Center, 5'8", 160 lbs. USHL: 49GP, 22G, 28A, 50P, +19. Speed and puck skills are the primary calling cards for the undersized Hohmann, who scored two of his points while on the penalty kill and put up a remarkable 76% of them at even-strength. He's a fierce competitor, although that may not be enough to overcome his size issue.

Caught Rau several times this month, while he does have admirable puck skills and shot tools, don't see enough to make it despite the size. The skating is arguably around pro level, but smaller guys need to be above and beyond with their skill sets and I don't think I can say that about any particular tool right now for him. To his credit though he's a workhorse and plays with an edge, and the stride is good enough that his skating could take a jump forward and give him a fighter's chance to make it. Having him in the Top 200 I think is a little too pessimistic, he's a top 4 rounder in my opinion at the least.

[Page 28]Thursday, March 23 Charleston S.C. Very windy all day. Came over to city at 2 1/2 P.M. Called on Surgn Trenor and saw Dr. Clymer there.[38] The latter says there will be a purveying Depot at Charleston. Called on Dr. Hawks Mr. & Mrs. Morse & Mr. Pillsbury,[39] & remain overnight -- have some music and cards.Friday, March 24, 1865 Fair & cool with wind. Examine 40 Negroes for Soldiers for Col. Hutchings[40] in A.M. Wrote unofficial letter to Surgn Goodman, asking his kind offices to get me away from here. Wrote letter to wife 3.Saturday, March 25 Weather fair all day, yet cool. Went to City and finished signing Certificates of enlistment of the negroes examined yesterday. Waited two hours in vain to see Surgn Trenor U.S.V. concerning supplies, contracts, &c.[Page 29]Sunday, March 26 Charleston. Weather rather cool but fair. Went over to City to church in A.M. Sermon from Isaiah LXV.24.[41] Good text but dry sermon. Dined irregularly at home. Read and meditated on Mat VII[42] in evening -- and wrote letter to Clara 3 --advising piety &c.[43] Monday, March 27 Not feeling well to-day -- Straighten up reports and make Requisitions for Med. supplies, all ready to send in morn -- news from Sherman's army encouraging.[44] The Rebellion must soon collapse.Tuesday, March 28 Rainy all day -- Rather dreary. Worked at Annual Returns of Med. & Hosp. property for 1864Notes[38] John Trenor, Surgeon, U.S. Volunteers, would be appointed Chief Medical Officer in the District of Savannah, Department of the South in April; Surgeon Meredith Clymer (1817-1902), U.S. Volunteers, was Medical Director of the Department of the South.[39] Probably Gilbert Pillsbury, an agent of the U.S. Treasury Department, who was in Charleston to take possession of all captured and abandoned Confederate property of a nonmilitary nature.[40] Colonel Hutchings (or Hutchins) is not identified, but he probably was affiliated with General Littlefield's volunteer recruiting service.[41] "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."[42] The seventh chapter of Matthew deals with the last portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and begins, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."[43] This letter is not present in the collection.[44] Bennitt is probably referring to the three-day Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina fought on March 19-21. For the Carolinas campaign, Sherman organized his army into two groups. The left wing, commanded by General Slocum, was called the Army of Georgia; the right wing, under General Howard, was called the Army of Tennessee. At Bentonville 21,000 Confederates commanded by Joseph E. Johnston attacked General Slocum's left wing before withdrawing to escape encirclement. On March 23 the two Union wings recombined at Goldsboro.

And I guess well here we go is is that that's the liberal side of it saying hey -- you president Bob you have the momentum here at the leverage.
Stand tough what do you say -- gets up and -- what.
Well I think we'll get something done the question is do we have a bad deal I may see that very differently the mr.
Krug man.
In order to really tackle the deficit long term.
We're going to have to do something about entitlements something mr.
Krugman doesn't want to do anything at all about and neither does the president.
The president says he's willing to compromise will -- will say is he willing to raise the retirement age and is it willing to look at serious changes in Medicare.
And in his health care program.
You know it's escalating prices -- didn't just say you know making our wealthy people pay a little bit more is a band -- that only gets us a couple of years.
We're gonna have to do something fundamental about the prices we pay for had health care and about the retirement age if we're going to solve this problem.
Right -- race so many important issues Peter so fiscal -- Deal or No Deal our economy.
What do you think I mean eats threatened with staying in this.
Lack luster case I think for that long terms Jeremy what's your take -- and got devastatingly high unemployment issue.
Are well aware I mean there's so many other issues headwinds here.
Well we didn't -- what the fundamental issues that caused the crisis in caused us to get into so much trouble.
We have a huge trade deficit which is a tax on demand -- -- we have a big budget deficit to compensate for that and we limp along.
We really can't shrink the budget deficit substantially.
And so we do something about our competitiveness vis a vis China.
And they may be different views about that but that's -- fiscal reality.
And about producing more domestic energy and we're not gonna solve that problem with more subsidies operations -- -- lender.
At the president's not willing to compromise on domestic oil production.
You know it's not -- so you know unless we do something about that and then there's the issue of the banks.
You know it's very interesting what you said in the last segment they're real solutions in the banks is not all of this excessive regulation.
But the bus stop the big banks the fact is not only they too big to fail but because they're too big to fail.
They're too big to effectively regulate that's why there's no lending and they continue trading you know what their profits down.
Bonuses will be up again for the CEOs.
You've been on that for awhile we talked about this over the the years and and -- -- -- that Elizabeth Warren in in enough herself and her election means much or maybe it does.
You can you really think we'll start to move down that.
In that direction and need a lot of people I think a Wall Street are worried -- -- that's one of the reasons we saw financial stocks selling off that will be a more progressive.
Approaches that Elizabeth Warren is that the president not having to worry about reelection -- did you do you think that they they moved harder.
And and push for more in terms of actually breaking up some of the big banks.
Yes I do I think there's voices on both the left in the right just as there is with tax reform.
And the remedies are are more amenable to compromise than there is with regard to tax reform on the left and right with regard to large banks.
This made it dangerous I think to say relative to my welcome mat on a financial network but the large banks in New York Jamie -- -- -- And so forth have abuse the American economic system and they're almost behaving like pirates right now stuffing their pockets.
It's high time we take a hard look as to whether banks which are much like public utilities because we guarantee their solvency in the end.
Are behaving in a responsible way.
Now part of the problem is we've created an incentive structure with Dodd-Frank for them to become even larger.
Because the small banks are having trouble navigating all this regulation and all this regulation is it really solving the basic problem.
We want banks to make loans lots of them right to do what responsibly and safely.
And they're not doing those things nearly the entire housing market now is federally financed small businesses can't get credit.
You know Peter I was looking at the walk and -- still here we're not -- enough Monday and if you would love all kinds.
Different points of view and you're welcome back any time now bond index at the university thanks a lot that's it makes -- market different opinion.

text: Theres no question that our society has a collective career crisis. Work is killing us. Just consider these facts, lest you think its not a big deal for you: A third of all new illnesses are due to work-related stresses, and each case of work-related major stress, depression, or anxiety leads to an average of 30 working days lost a year (thats six weeks of work!). Work-related stress is second only to back pain in terms of work-related health problems (and stress causes some of the back pain). Yikes.

At the age of eight, Kaká already knew what it he wanted in life: to play soccer, and only soccer. He started playing in front of his friends and family, but when he suffered a crippling injury doctors told him he would never play again. Through faith and perseverance Kaká recovered, and today he plays in front of thousands of fans every year. As the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year and winner of the Ballon d'Or, this midfielder for Real Madrid has become one of the most recognized faces on the soccer field.

President -- -- for tax hikes he says will help the economy but a new poll shows that 66% of Americans.
What the government to cut spending across the board instead so -- one.
It's gonna help America more or hire a lot I'm Cheryl Casone -- and -- cash and end.
Are cashing -- this week we'll wait right -- -- Jonathan Hoenig Tracy Byrnes John Layfield.
Also joining us because -- -- but those so a lot to all of you in -- way.
-- look right on this the president are those that say that we need to be cutting government spending.
Well obviously had to I think the president is wrong in the following sense I mean it.
This is this whole philosophy of keynesian economics is not worked in three and a half years the government has been spending spending spending we haven't had any spurring the economy we have.
You know unemployment -- above 8%.
Then somebody forgot Milton Friedman here somewhere along the line.
And this whole philosophy is is wrong here you gotta remember in this country for example it after -- Ronald Reagan we cut taxes.
In an 81 again under Clinton and -- before.
Both of those things help the economy back in both cases we had are strong recovery and that's what should be done today.
All right Tracy you know the president's argument here is that he is -- -- be extending the bush tax cuts for those families that are making under 250000.
Anybody above that.
Now the Republicans are saying that this is -- are gonna get hurt that's gonna hurt the economy or you stand.
That's small businesses -- that's the engine of our economy that's absolutely who's gonna get her and luck this heroes come out and said that 20%.
-- -- So called wealthy Americans are covering basically are tax bill how much more -- you wanna put -- earnings people.
-- working hard they aren't trying to make America better and all we're doing is taxing them you know what.
5% cut 5% across the board and -- you wanna talk to me about tax -- fine but let's see you cut -- spending and make it fair.
Everywhere you can't just pick and choose you know Chris even as McConnell -- to go one step further this week and he said this is a tax hike on small businesses.
This is a horrible idea this is the wrong direction -- -- right.
Well I mean here here's the reality AA in and I worked on these issues when I was on the into the hill you've got to do both.
Is this notion that somehow you're gonna solve this problem all anybody cut by cutting spending I hate to burst anyone's bubble they don't know -- I mean did the reality here is you've got to have revenues coming in when you talking about the tax rates.
CBO just -- -- a study tax rates are the lowest they've been since nineteen Saturday night.
Obama actually in his presidency is cut taxes you can he -- the -- he's cut taxes too much.
So I mean if we're serious about this responsibility we've got to get this back and some kind of balance -- Then that you had what appeared to -- your -- talking about cutting spending.
I mean obviously that is good for the fiscal health of the country but at the same well I'm not right Robin Wright -- -- The president doesn't think so the president believes that.
Wealth comes from government spending comes from government control that's why he.
Advocates for greater government spending at every opportunity despite the fact -- as you pointed out over -- 66%.
Of those surveyed understand that cuts need to be made and I mean maybe they're not Harvard MBA is but they've seen the carnage that happens in Europe the carnage and -- -- When government spends the bills ultimately come due in this whole notion the president talks about.
Giving people a tax cut.
History should work out those individuals richer -- have earned that money the president and giving them anything it's -- I earned and deserved to keep Rodriguez went women.
I just tears what do people want to cut not a you know if you listen as some of the people who talk about cuts they don't want to cut defense.
Right so that's a huge chunk of money completely out -- of.
That was sitting putt anyway but that's about to separate it gave -- then alters the telling anything.
Welcome bit -- -- it would take this to you here because what.
If we're talking about this this is -- president Americans say that we need to be cutting spending in the president came out this week and said.
Actually I'm gonna you know raise taxes at the end of the year for those families that are making over 250 and small business.
I mean at forty to the economy goes from there and -- doesn't that kind of hurt the country.
Yeah it's gonna hurt the country but it's gonna hurt the country either way Chris is right this is not an either or proposition Simpson Bowles which the president commission.
Had a plan to cut spending and also raise revenue but the president himself before this report even came -- had undercut these guys and nobody wants to do this plan you've got a -- -- right now in congress and Simpson -- Republicans Democrats nobody wants to cut spending nobody wants to raise revenue.
You have to do both right now and when he thought about raising -- taxes on the rich you're only talking about forty billion dollars a year.
That's -- nothing right you look at one point three trillion dollar deficit this is not a panacea.
If you political ledger to go out the -- that's -- Wayne isn't an if our proposition that is John the John Michaels says that you have to do about there's got to be a balance that is not possible.
Well I I think John is right but they did it's no political courage to do -- the other -- and we have spent ourselves right into the toilet and nobody was willing to cut.
And well Chris you asked the point where -- you cut I could tell you right away and you give me that budget I could go through it like has like their -- last night.
Leave me at you have.
-- -- know how much they waste just look at the -- don't quite take what does that from Oklahoma the setup from Obama he publishes a book -- our -- Weiss didn't just took the -- out of the -- you the government is spending outrageous amounts of money because we are we're -- bureaucratic -- run.
The good thing the congress doesn't run the country any more -- -- the event that there wouldn't they remind us.
Then you had that kind of I don't run back bureaucrats and the bureaucrat the ones who would still wins and -- -- I guess.
They're got a good but let's say how much how much taxes that we -- how -- cuts that we need -- is we -- it's almost like saying how much poison do we need OK -- mean we all want wealth to be created this country where does that come from -- come from taxes -- comes from.
Three independent individuals people's minds putting money to productive work it doesn't come from governor -- redistribution of wealth which -- what the president's -- under tools.
Happy about our national -- -- -- -- cutting spending is it's still connected to boats and that -- the problem with our system.
Quite frankly there -- term limits we wouldn't have this issue at all get and get it now.
And they would not be reliant on the next reelection because nobody wants to cut their little constituents money that's -- make -- there cut across the.
-- that is the whole point -- Tracy is exactly right you're talking that's boring forty cents out of every dollar that is a massive amount of stimulus that is in this economy right now no politician wants to cut that tells you look at Spain.
-- -- France you look at Greece when you start -- that much out of the budget it is going to hurt the economy but if you don't do it.
And you -- lotteries aren't.
The -- that was in California -- I don't think.
-- -- -- -- -- -- There's another important point to kind of thing keep in mind if we're really wanna be brutally honest about this I think there is a -- amongst the American people.
To hold not only the politicians accountable but to be honest about what needs to be done.
We faced serious fiscal problems I like I said I worked on the east in what made me want a Turkey have pulled my hair out.
But the reality is if we're gonna solve them we have to do both and just know that you can do this just do spending cuts I can tell you -- it is simply -- it.
The American Chris -- the failure rests on the American people the American people know what there's been no that I.
Perhaps I was uphill battle it's all right that's not -- -- -- the other way that's not what I'm saying I'm saying that we've got to be honest about the problems that we face the car -- he's probably gonna spend the American people left and I.
I think to give -- -- American people a real disservice here are my friend about doing about saying that because the American people understand you have to stay within your budget.
It -- start I and I see it's what they've got blown -- -- when you look -- when you look at polls when you look at polls and those polls say that you can solve this problem only through spending cuts.
Part of that I think it's a failure political leaders and others to be honest about what needs to be done but listen these are tough tough problems we've got to accept the fact is -- because.
I also -- -- be ready changing you know what.
Chris glad to say -- that gets pretty instinct even you said it was like a nightmare trying to deal with the -- in Washington and that's you know it or everybody.
-- those -- great discussion thank you we'll coming out.

Local cloth diaper event educates parents looking to help environment and save money | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
(WMC-TV) - Have you ever considered cloth diapers? Are the first images that pop in your head large swaths of fabric, pins and plastic pants? If so, then you need to find out how different modern cloth diapers are now.
The modern cloth diaper systems are pin-less, easy to use and better for the environment. Another important factor to busy parents is that modern cloth diapers are easy to wash. The fabrics used now are soft, colorful and comfortable on the delicate skin of babies. They are also easier on the environment.
In the United States alone, 49 million diapers per day (18 billion per year) are thrown away. Disposable diapers go into landfills in which (under ideal conditions) it is estimated that it would take hundreds of years to decompose. Each baby in cloth diapers will help to divert many of these diapers from municipal landfills.
Costs related to a new baby are another concern for new parents. When it comes to costs, cloth diapering is definitely the better choice over disposables. The cost of disposable diapers can cost over $2,500 per baby. Compare that to the cost of cloth diapers, which can vary from $300 to $1,500 per baby. Another factor to consider is that cloth diapers can be re-used for another child. If the cloth diapers are still in good condition then they can be sold as used for a discount. This means that parents would be able to recoup some of their initial investment.
The first Memphis-area store dedicated to cloth diaper is now open. Over the Moon Diapers stocks many types of modern cloth diapering systems, as well as, other natural baby essentials.
If you are interested in learning more about cloth diapering, you should visit Over the Moon Diapers. They are holding their first consignment sale this weekend, Friday, September 14, from noon until 4 p.m. on and Saturday, September 15 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The prices of the consignment diapers vary according to seller, but most of them are between 40 percent and 60 percent of full retail cost.
Over the Moon Diapers also offer periodic "Diaper Demos" for locals to come into the store and learn about the different diapering systems and how to care for them.
