Intel Corporation introduced the Intel Atom processor S1200 product family today, delivering the world's first low-power, 64-bit server-class system-on-chip (SoC) for high-density microservers, as well as a new class of energy-efficient storage and networking systems. The energy-sipping, industrial-strength microprocessor features essential capabilities to achieve server-class reliability, manageability and cost effectiveness. "The data center continues to evolve into unique segments and Intel continues to be a leader in these transitions," said Diane Bryant, vice president and general manager of the Datacenter and Connected Systems Group at Intel. "We recognized several years ago the need for a new breed of high-density, energy-efficient servers and other datacenter equipment. Today, we are delivering the industry's only 6-watt SoC that has key datacenter features, continuing our commitment to help lead these segments." Intel's Next Generation of Microservers: The Real Thing As public clouds continue to grow, the opportunity to transform companies providing dedicated hosting, content delivery or front-end Web servers are also growing. High density servers based on low-power processors are able to deliver the desired performance while at the same time significantly reduce the energy consumption – one of the biggest cost drivers in the data center. However, before deploying new equipment in data centers, companies look for several critical features. The Intel Atom processor S1200 product family is the first low-power SoC delivering required data center features that ensure server-class levels of reliability and manageability while also enabling significant savings in overall costs. The SoC includes two physical cores and a total of four threads enabled with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT). The SoC also includes 64-bit support, a memory controller supporting up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory, Intel Virtualization Technologies (Intel VT), eight lanes of PCI Express 2.0, Error-Correcting Code (ECC) support for higher reliability, and other I/O interfaces integrated from Intel chipsets. The new product family will consist of three processors with frequency ranging from 1.6 GHz to 2.0 GHz. The Intel Atom S1200 product family is also compatible with the x86 software that is commonly used in data centers today. This enables easy integration of the new low-powered equipment and avoids additional investments in porting and maintaining new software stacks. New Milestones in Power Efficiency Intel continues to drive power consumption down in its products, enabling systems to be as energy efficient as possible. Each year since the 2006 introduction of low-power Intel Xeon processors, Intel has delivered a new generation of low-power processors that have decreased the thermal design power (TDP) from 40 watts in 2006 to 17 watts this year due to Intel's advanced 22-nanometer (nm) process technology. The Intel Atom processor S1200 product family is the first low-power SoC with server-class features offering as low as 6 watts of TDP. Broad Industry Support Today, more than 20 low-power designs including microservers, storage and networking systems use the Intel Atom processor S1200 processor family from companies including Accusys, CETC, Dell, HP, Huawei, Inspur, Microsan, Qsan, Quanta, Supermicro and Wiwynn. "Organizations supporting hyperscale workloads need powerful servers to maximize efficiency and realize radical space, cost and energy savings," said Paul Santeler, vice president and general manager, Hyperscale Business Unit, Industry-standard Servers and Software at HP. "HP servers power many of those organizations, and the Intel Atom processor S1200 will be instrumental as we develop the next wave of application-defined computing to dramatically reduce cost and energy use for our customers." An Even Brighter Future Intel is working on the next generation of Intel Atom processors for extreme energy efficiency codenamed "Avoton." Available in 2013, Avoton will further extend Intel's SoC capabilities and use the company's leading 3-D Tri-gate 22 nm transistors, delivering world-class power consumption and performance levels. For customers interested in low-voltage Intel Xeon processor models for low-power servers, storage and networking, Intel will introduce the new Intel Xeon processor E3 v3 product family based on the "Haswell" microarchitecture next year. These new processors will take advantage of new energy-saving features in Haswell and provide balanced performance-per-watt, giving customers even more options. Pricing and Availability The Intel Atom processor S1200 is shipping today to customers with recommended customer price starting at $54 in quantities of 1,000 units.
So basically the same CPUs that have been around in chinese tablet for quite a while, just not crippled and more expensive...
Intel's progress is second to none. Won't be long until we get under 20w Quad cores. Hello to real high-performance tablets.
Well you can't blame them for going forward, I mean on desktop they are competing against themselves and that's a bit sad. Now that the focus is shifting towards mobile computing they'll have to fight against ARM and they seem in a pretty damn good shape, many say that Intel should fear ARM but I feel that the contest should be seen backwards, ARM should fear Intel IMO.
While the TDP of the CPU is excellent, I wonder what the TDP of the SERVER chipset is going to be. Notice this is quite different from other Atom chipsets and incls. support for ECC and 8GB DDR3. Remember the first Atom chipset? Let's hope this new Atom server chipset is equally efficient as its paired CPU.
Thanks. It's way past my bedtime and I'm scanning the news and missing essentials! 6-8W all in is great! Let's hope OEMS will build 1x CPU mATX boards... the press release talks about datacentre multi-nodes built into a single rack unit. Great. But we want mono-node too!
mATX, seems kinda big. Though I suppose some specialty solutions could be in this size. I want a Raspberry Pi-like device with one
This is what happens when you post after bed-time Of course, yes, I meant mini-ITX. How silly of me. And I want them in my supermicro 1UE boxes
6W is not bad... but arm is around 1W per core or less, isnt it? the upcoming arm server chips have a TDP of less than 2W per core and are running at 3GHz, twice the clock of current chips... this is a nice alternative for people who dont want to give up x86 i guess... i think the main point is to steel thunder and to cage in ARM and limit how much they will be able to charge for their server cpus not bad intel! bring on the fight! i dont think they will win, but hey, the harder they fight the cheaper tech gets for us
2W? are you sure? that sounds like too much... my galaxy note has a battery of 2500mAh at 3.7V thats 9.25WH, if my entire phone uses 2W, then it would mean i get around 5h of full load use... which is about right... but thats 2W for the entire phone! and the biggest power slurper in phones is the display, and i got a 5" OLED display which uses a bit more than IPS on most phones... im pretty sure each CPU core in my galaxy note uses less than .5W under full load... remember its around 2W full load and thats 2 cpu cores, gpu, memory, flash, display, plus wireless antennae 6W is too much even for a tablet... even 3W is arguably too much for a tablet already... think of the huge display and the huge heavy battery youll need to reach the 10h mark everybody aims for...
I'm pretty sure that your phone isn't running 100% usage all the time like a server might. Keep in mind that TDP is loaded usage. Yeah, your phone might run cool and such but if you run it at 100% that changes. Your battery life goes to crap and your phone (and battery,) start running warm. All in all, it is a step in the right direction. I would like to see how PostgreSQL load balancing and multi-master replication would work on a set of servers like these.
when you play proper 3D games your phones cpu is maxed out, both cores at 100%... go check for yourself, theres an app for that i recommend system panel EX or cool tool using the cpu gauge taskbar overlay (awesome app, love it) cool tool is free, system panel EX is free but if you want it running in the background to track usage while other apps are full screen you need the PRO version which costs... 1E i think? and why wouldnt it be fully loaded? it tries to churn out as many FPS as possible, its not like they can reach the vsync limit of 60FPS on proper 3D titles... and actually i think even if you hit 60fps it actually renders more than that but you dont see the extra frames... there are 2D games that push both cores on my phone to 100% usage... definitely shoddy coding, but just saying, even that is possible...
Except your tablet DOESN'T have a v8 ARM CPU, is still la v7 Dual-Core only. Totally different specs here
why does it matter? the topic is power consumption... and it sounds like your confusing the instruction set and cpu arch... even tegra4, apples A6x, the Snapdragon 800 and samsungs octa core use the ARM v7 instruction set v7 = ARM instruction set (like x86) Cortex A7 = newest ARM core (low power) Cortex A8 = older ARM core Cortex A9 = newer ARM core Cortex A15 = newest ARM core (high performance) my "tablet" uses A9 cores btw, and A15 are higher power, but not much... Nvidia just mentioned at CES that the Tegra4 SOC (quadcore A15 ~2GHZ) consumes around 2-3W under full load (playing games) A15 is supposed to scale beyond 3GHz, and thats probably where power consumption is notably higher than A9 based SOCs but for mobile devices, vendors are realistically limited to 2-3W for a phone and tablet, otherwise battery life will suck, or the tablet/phone gets heavy and/or expensive so again, 6W from intel isnt impressive, and not viable in a tablet, much less a phone

1031 now a New York -- are new questions about the embassy attacks in Libya.
Coming from key lawmakers about half a dozen top Republicans now saying it -- sending rather a letter to the White House demanding a new intelligence briefing.
House armed services committee chairman California congressman -- -- he's among the authors of that letters the president he's with -- announcer good morning to you.
What are your concerns here.
Well you know of this attack happened on -- -- We have not been told the truth yet from the administration.
Sold eight of the committee chairman.
Wrote a letter to the president asking him yesterday thanking him for the briefings that they given -- to this point.
Let indicating they were very and complete.
And it's time that we -- told the truth to at least the members of congress who have of the oversight responsibility if we don't want to tell the American people at least tell.
-- of us who have the constitutional responsibility to know what's going on.
As you know that's a strong statement when you accuse the administration of not telling the truth.
Well what what why do you believe that's the case there.
Susan -- US ambassador.
Took the United Nations five days after the attack that happened -- that -- -- went before the United Nations.
And said that there was.
Spontaneous reaction but what -- just transpired -- hours before -- they were still calling it a spontaneous.
A demonstration that had gone awry.
-- -- in the fact that people just.
Showed up I -- for no reason.
And then later attacked -- safe house with mortars.
And and why why can't they tell us this.
You have said before -- do not learn enough from Hillary Clinton during a briefing last week.
What do you think is going on here.
I don't I can't understand.
There -- rationale.
You know what I read a statement that was art and other.
That president Mohammed -- -- gave -- -- and interview and he went right through the whole situation.
Basically told what happened it was a pre planned act of terrorism on -- -- It and the fact that the administration was still telling us that it was say yeah.
It was just to demonstrate more with the group that I.
We are getting close to election and all I can think of is that they're just trying to keep the facts unknown.
Until after the election.
They are still they still have the mentality of treating this like it's a law and order issue -- about a war on terrorism.
They have sent the FBI over who have -- cooled their heels for days before they could even get them there.
And I don't know of third and then -- yet.
But you don't -- -- date yesterday about -- journal what was found by idiom of the ambassador three days after the attack.
By -- journalists watching through the compound.
Just this just ludicrous -- -- on on on the face of it the way they're handling this is -- In competent.
And then treating it again like -- a law and order should they sent the FBI -- investigated.
Like when they find out what's wrong what they gonna try to arrest somebody -- What we're we're gonna be in touch of your office and find out where you find now but we can't thank you for your time thank you.

text: Dear Steve and Shirley, I am 19 years old and currently in my second semester of my freshman year at Texas Southern University. My girlfriend that I have been dating since the beginning of the fall semester, is pregnant and I'm confused about what to do. I want to man up and take care of my responsibility, but I know if I do that, I would have to drop out of school and put my dreams and goals on the back burner. I'm afraid to call home. If I told my mother that I got a girl pregnant, she would be so disappointed. I don't know what to do. I want to do the right thing by my child, but at the same time, I want to stay in school. I need help on what to do about this situation. Help me, Shirley Strawberry.


text: The action movie Cowboys and Aliens crossed a Western with science fiction, so instead of trying to take down a bandit, the heroes are battling alien invaders. Another interesting twist is that a wanted outlaw, Jake Lonergan, is one of the alien-fighting heroes. Your son will love dressing up as Jake this Halloween in the officially licensed Cowboys and Aliens Outlaw Jake Boys' Costume. This package includes shirt with an attached vest, pants, hat, and gauntlet. Achieving Jake's look begins with the off-white shirt underneath a brown vest. There's no need to worry about separate pieces with a graphic of tan chaps printed on the pants. Adding the brown cowboy hat and molded gauntlet resembling the futuristic, laser-blasting one Jake has attached to his arm will complete the outfit. Dressing up as a cowboy just became way more interesting with our Cowboy and Alien costume. Your son is sure to have a blast as an outlaw-turn-hero.

We stayed here for 1 week. The hotel is in a great location just 2/3 minutes walk from the harbour and city centre. The hotel is clean and comfortable.... We had self catering kitchen facilities which came in handy as eating out every night can be expensive. The bathroom has a full size bath as well as a shower and overall the room was comfortable. There is an indoor swimming pool and a sun terrace which is very clean and a good way to finish a long day. La Rochelle itself is a lovely town with lots to see and do, the food is great especially if you're in to seafood. Very enjoyable. 2013년09월09일, Hotels.com 고객 이용 후기

Home / LSA Students / Academics & Requirements / Majors & Minors / Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) / Major: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology /
Honors Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Honors Program
The department conducts an Honors program to trains students to conduct independent research in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. In addition to completing all the requirements for the EEB concentration, an Honors degree requires a concentration GPA of at least 3.4, and the completion of a significant piece of independent research that is reported in an Honors thesis and presented in a public forum. It is recommended that students discuss the Honors Program with a concentration advisor early in their undergraduate career, and to meet with a concentration advisor to declare Honors as soon a possible.
Admission to the Biology Honors Program
Students may join the Honors Program at any time during their undergraduate career, but applications for a given term must be received no later than the deadline for submission of the Honors thesis. However, it is recommended that students discuss the Honors Program with a concentration advisor early in their undergraduate career, and declare their participation in Honors as soon as possible.
The Honors Program
- Research: The student must identify a research mentor, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. The research mentor can be a member of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) or a life scientist holding a faculty appointment in another unit of the University, such as the School of Natural Resources and the Environment, the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, or the Life Sciences Institute. If the mentor is not a member of EEB, the student must also identify a co-sponsor from this department.
Students are encouraged to register for independent research (EEB 300 or 400) for at least two terms; most students register for three or four terms of independent research. Students working in labs outside of the EEB Department will usually register for EEB 300 and 400 through their co-sponsor s independent study number. However, it is permitted to use the independent study number of another department if the co-sponsor approves it.
It is highly recommended that students arrange to work full time on their Honors thesis during the summer between their junior and senior years. A limited amount of funds are available from university fellowships, but in most cases support will have to come from the sponsoring lab. Students working on field-based topics are urged to contact faculty about the possibility of starting work during the summer between their sophomore and junior years.
- Readers: Prior to submitting their thesis, the student should identify three readers for the thesis, one of whom is the sponsor. At least two readers must be faculty members of the EEB Department, unless the student receives the written approval of the EEB Associate Chair for Curriculum for an exception. Readers must agree to turn in their evaluations within 10 days after the thesis is submitted.
- The Honors Thesis: The thesis is due on April 1, August 1, or December 1, depending on the anticipated graduation date. Based on the material presented in the Honors thesis and the student s overall record, the readers of the thesis will recommend a rating of No Honors, Honors, High Honors, or Highest Honors. Readers of Honors theses are expected to file their reports with the Biology Program Honors Committee within 10 days after the thesis is submitted. The reports of all readers should address the quality of the science reported in the thesis, as well as the quality of the written presentation. The report of the mentor should also address the role the student played in the design, execution, and interpretation of the experiments reported in the thesis, and should point out the role that others in the lab played.
The EEB Honors Committee will meet approximately two weeks after the due date of the theses to review the recommendations of the readers and decide on the appropriate level of Honors. The committee will attempt to maintain uniform standards for Honors and is not constrained by the level of Honors recommended by the readers. The Honors committee may decide to table discussion and request the student to revise the thesis if they believe that a revised version might merit a higher rating.
- Oral Presentation: The student will present the research results in an advertised public forum, such as a class, a poster session, or a departmental seminar. If the number of Honors students graduating in a particular term warrants it, EEB will organize a departmental poster session that would meet this requirement. Students interested in participating are encouraged to contact the EEB Associate Chair for Curriculum at least two months prior to the end of term. The mentor will declare in the thesis evaluation letter when and where the student has fulfilled the public presentation requirement.

Gaming Audio Series™ HS1: good curves and avoiding the double hump
By Dylan Rhodes posted Sep 02nd 2010
As I write this I'm settling in for a flight to Europe, where I'll be talking about the new HS1 USB Gaming Headset. But while this is the beginning of a long trip across the Atlantic Ocean, it's also the end of a journey that has lasted for more than a year.
For me, the journey started when I was talking to some of the folks who work back at the Corsair office, asking them what they use for gaming audio. Everybody has a headset, a nice set of speakers, or both. But what surprised me was that how many of them had also invested in a nice pair of headphones just for listening to music. Now, these are some pretty hardcore gamers, who've invested a lot in their gaming gear. But they recognize that even higher-end gaming headsets often aren't up to the task of reproducing music. Few of them are terrible (the gaming headsets, not my co-workers), but if you've been listening to, say, Dark Side of The Moon for 20 years or more, you know how it sounds. When you try to listen to it with a gaming headset that's been tweaked to push an artificially boomy low end, Pink Floyd's just going to sound wrong.
So, that was one of the problems we set out to solve: creating a headset that sounds awesome with games, but yet provides faithful, compelling reproduction of high-quality audio recordings.
Early on in the process, we gathered every gaming headset we could and put it on a HATS — a Head and Torso Simulator. It's a sophisticated piece of equipment that simulates human hearing. Give it an audio source, whether it's headphones, a headset, or speakers, and you can graph the audio performance as a human hears it, not a microphone.
When you look at the frequency response curves for gaming headsets, the results are somewhat shocking. First, I'll point out that when you're designing headphones or a headset, you don't want the frequency response to be flat, as you might if you're designing a set of studio monitor speakers. This is an interesting subject in itself (at least to me, anyway) to which I may dedicate another blog post down the road.
But back to the point: the response curves for many gaming headsets aren't even close to being optimal. As we expected, many of them have an overboosted low end. The result with such a headset is that you'll immediately notice that weaponfire, explosions, and similar carnage sound pretty dramatic. Such a headset will pass the "20-second test" if you're playing a game, but once you try it with a piece of music that you know and love, you'll see that something's wrong.
Audio engineers like to speak of a "double hump" response curve. It refers to the practice of boosting the lows and the highs. It's a practice employed by some of the manufacturers of those all-in-one audio systems sold in the big box retailers, and some gaming headsets do it, too. As with headsets with an overboosted low end, you'll get the lows and highs and it will sound good in the short term, but as you dive in to music and movies, you'll notice that vocal response can suffer.
The secret to a great-sounding headset? It's simple in concept, but — as shown by the long nights spent over the past year — takes careful execution. Design an ideal response curve, pick the right hardware, and tune, tune, and re-tune until you hit that curve. Adjust the baffle geometry. Try endless combinations of materials. And don't stop until you get it right.
I mentioned a 20-second test above. We've built the HS1 to also pass the 20-year test: that is, a headset that will be true to the music that you've known and loved for 20 years. And if you get an HS1, after you've put it through its paces with games and movies, listen to Dark Side of the Moon again. You might just notice details you've never heard before.

There was a big brawl in the stands at the Arizona-Arizona State football game on Saturday. And there's a video online that shows how it started. Some middle-aged guy with grey hair was arguing with an Arizona State fan, who might be a student.
Then the older guy suddenly kicked him in the FACE. (Search for "Student Section Face Kick." If you care, Arizona State ended up winning 58 to 21. WARNING: Profanity including several S-words.)

Army to Lead Women's DI Pool C |
Colleges - Women's College |
Pool C of the Women's DI College Round of 16 will also be Blaine, Minn., with Pool B (read more). Army and New Mexico will do battle in one Friday match, while UC San Diego and North Carolina fight for the other bid to the quarterfinals. Northeast champion Army is the favorite to emerge out of this pool by weekend's end, but they'll have to through New Mexico first. Los Lobos exited the West championship as the #2 team and represents a talent rich ERRFU region. Eagle Jill Potter has joined Shannon Robinson on the coaching staff and has revitalized an already tough forward arsenal, and the electric Madlen Glainyk is a difficult back to contain. But Army is one of the top teams in nation, routinely making the Final Four. The team is all healthy and has been playing well, although its struggled to line up competitive matches aside from the 24-22 Army Navy game earlier this season. "We've been focusing more on inter-squad sessions to keep the game pace and mentality," Army captain Sylvia Thomas said. "We don't know much about UNM, but we expect any team who has made it Nationals to be a challenge. Our mentality, however, has been to play as the same team every game no matter who we play." Army has the edge in experience and firepower, and should face the winner of UC San Diego and North Carolina. San Diego stunned UCLA earlier in the season by defeating the former So Cal champ in league (and then UCLA evened the score in the rematch, but UCSD won the title on points). They've got a very strong pack, led by Kelsey McIlonie and Heather Jones. The backs are highlighted by Evi Aushenbruker, Leilani Martin and Jenna Anderson. North Carolina struggled to find its footing until later in the season, losing to East Carolina during league and forced to advance to the South championships through the play-in tournament. Even with a new scrummaging technique still in the works, UNC took the longer, but just as successful path back to the national tournament. UNC bowed out in last year's first round, losing to Brown 23-10 before getting a 17-5 win over Colorado in the consolation round. The Tar Heels will be relying on the stellar performances of flyhalf Kimber Rozier and finishing power of wing Holly Zoeller. The team is without a starting prop and reserve flanker, so the forwards will lacking their full power. "We'll just stick with the same game plan that's been serving us well over the past few months and maybe make a few tweaks during the game based on what we see," UNC coach Johnathan Atkeison said in advance of UCSD. " We've spent most of our practices refining what we've already been doing and implementing a few new twists in our system, but really we've focused on being more precise in our executing of what we've been doing that got us this far."

What does engagement really take?
Employee Engagement has been niggling at me. Something doesn't seem quite right about the whole area: from surveys to programs.
It became clear when I heard a Senior Executive say she wanted to engage employees more. It sounded like what she really wanted was for them to do more of what she wanted them to do; and to do it with enthusiasm. That's doing it to people; not with them. Maybe that's why they're not engaged.
In Engaging the Soul at Work, Lewin and Regine state,
"…trying to influence people to believe in what they are doing, without seeing who the person is, wanting them to be something for you rather than recognizing them for who they are, is an act of imposition, not engagement. To be blunt, it's dehumanizing."
Instead of wanting to engage employees more, how can you make room for their unique gifts and talents? How can you invite them to contribute what inspires them? If you are recognizing them for who they are, the perceived need for a survey, initiative or program to encourage engagement with fade and people will be called to engage.

Despite being the first repeat winner of the season, Fernando Alonso was warned Ferrari still have some way to go before they have the quickest car.
Alonso claimed his second win of the campaign in Sunday's European Grand Prix, much to the delight of the Spanish fans packed into the grandstands.
However, naysayers could argue that Alonso's victory was inherited as Sebastian Vettel broke down while leading and Romain Grosjean was forced to park his Lotus when he was just 0.6s behind the Spaniard.
But however it happened - and most would argue that it was down to Alonso and Ferrari not putting a wheel wrong - Alonso admits it didn't come courtesy of having the fastest car in the field.
"I think we always need to be cautious and we always need to be honest with ourselves first and with our supporters, saying that we will fight, will work day and night to be competitive and to fight for the title which is the ultimate goal for Ferrari," said the Championship leader.
"Any Championship in which we participate, the championship should be the target, regarding the history and the level of the team.
"But yesterday (qualifying) we were P11 and P13 so we need to work. It's true that we believe and we will never give up, we will have confidence in ourselves and we will arrive with optimism at every grand pix we go to, but at the same time, apart from winning or finishing sixth, we know that we are not in the position that we want to be and there are a few cars quicker than us and we cannot be blind to that. We need to work."
The Spaniard, though, is not the only Ferrari team member who believes the Italian stable still has some work to do as team boss reckons Red Bull upped their game in Valencia.
"They did something very good this weekend; they improved the car," he told the BBC. "We are not at the level we should be in terms of performance. Red Bull was the quickest."

Washington, DC Monday, September 10, 2012
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the August jobs report showing employment rose by 96,000 in August and unemployment was down to 8.1 percent.
During a briefing Monday, the Chief Economist at the Chamber of Commerce Dr. Martin Regalia said Friday's job numbers weren't enough to drive unemployment down and that the participation rate in the workforce is at a 30-year low. He added the economy is growing at a "pedestrian pace" and that the "fiscal cliff" is the most important issue that Congress has to address in the short run.
His comments were part of the Chamber of Commerce's annual Labor Day briefing on jobs and economy. He was joined by the Senior Vice President of Labor, Immigration and Employee Benefits Randy Johnson.
When Congress resumes today, no progress is expected on resolving the "fiscal cliff" facing the country at the beginning of next year. $1.2 trillion in tax increases and spending cuts, including massive rollbacks to the defense budget, could trigger a second recession, the Congressional Budget Office warned recently.

Forever young: A Cornish hen is a little chicken. The U.S. Department of Agriculture currently defines it as "a young immature chicken (usually 5 to 6 weeks of age), weighing not more than 2 pounds. (Jonelle Weaver/MCT Photo) |
"It's not a little chicken. Little chicken. Ha. Ha. It's a game bird, dad," interjected his clearly mortified son, George, portrayed by Jason Alexander. As you might guess, the sitcom dinner went rapidly downhill from there.
But a Cornish hen is a little chicken. The U.S. Department of Agriculture currently defines it as "a young immature chicken (usually 5 to 6 weeks of age), weighing not more than 2 pounds ready-to-cook weight, which was prepared from a Cornish chicken or the progeny of a Cornish chicken crossed with another breed of chicken." Though called a hen, the bird can be male or female.
In 2011, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service lowered the age definition for a Cornish hen from 5 to 6 weeks to less than 5 weeks. This final rule takes effect in 2014, said Cathy Cochran, a USDA spokeswoman in Washington.
Alphonsine "Therese" Makowsky is credited with originally breeding the Cornish hen at a farm in Pomfret, Conn., that she owned with her husband, the artist Jacques Makowsky.
Her 2005 obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle — she was living in Danville, Calif., at the time of her death at age 92 — noted the couple had been raising and selling African guinea hens until a 1949 fire destroyed their stock. In response, the obit reported, she came up with the idea of "cross-breeding the Cornish game cocks with various chicken and game birds, including a White Plymouth Rock hen," to create the Cornish hen. It quickly supplanted the couple's African guinea hens in popularity, the Chronicle noted.
Cornish hens proved so chic that Victor Borge, the musical comedian, began breeding them at his home in Southbury, Conn., according to a 1958 story in The Hartford Courant. The writer of a 1960 New York Times article, "Food: Yankee hen is a hit abroad; even a Frenchman finds Connecticut bird a treat," marveled at how far the little birds had flown in just 11 years, from a Connecticut farm to being "served in elegant establishments around the world." In the mid 1960s, Tyson Foods began selling Cornish hens.
The Springdale, Ark.-based poultry giant is the leading producer today, marketing an estimated two-thirds of Cornish hens produced in the United States, according to Brady Tackett, a company spokesman.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #685 Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev'ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels, in chorus, Sang as they welcomed his birth, "Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth." Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart ev'ry word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past, How for our sins he was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of his labor, Tell of the sorrow he bore, He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. Tell of the cross where they nailed him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid him, Tell how he liveth again. Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see: Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me.

Yesterday, State Rep Joaquin Castro, spent an hour with us as he narrated this original story on the life of Willie Velasquez for children. Based on the stories the Velasquez family has told me, especially the late Mary Louise Velasquez, Willie's mother, who was buried the week before (Que Dios Te Bendiga, Sra. Velasquez). Celeste Guzman, a poet, had told me that Joaquin was in debate with her at Jefferson HS, and that he could do this. The combination of his political achievements and his growing up in San Antonio, made for a potent read that is very smart, very American, and for reals. When I ask children what heroes do you know? They answer Tim Duncan and then — Joaquin Castro (sometimes they mix Julian and Joaquin). Rep. Castro told us that he was not quite 14 when Willie Velasquez passed, and I heard his voice change when he said "Su voto es su voz,"
Jimmy Klein, the son of Victoria Zapata and Javier Klein, San Antonio, is the voice of Willie. He was signing in the audiobooth on the day we taped him.
I think that Willie would be very proud of both Jimmy and Representative Castro.

Love this shirt! It is so comfortable and looks nice too! I ordered another one in a different color.
Mixing the comfort of cotton with a touch of wool for warmth, this sultry, stretchy cowl neck feels soft and tops off any winter occasion with sophistication. The perfectly placed, drapey cowl neckline flatters then converts to a hood for quick and pretty wind and weather protection.

Everyday wear
I normally wouldn't pay this much for a single pullover, but, this one is worth it. I have a difficult time finding active wear that's stylish and flattering. Ok, can I be real here? I'm built. I'm 36 D, with a 28" waist - broad shoulders. The style of this top is cut perfect for me. Is not snug across chest yet tapers in along the side- yes! No more square boxy cut cool/cold weather tops. The length is mid hip and lays just right. The fabric is soft and stretchy, not thick, long enough for my 5'9" med frame. The cowl neck has enough elastic firmness to not fall down my front (hate that). This is a simple piece yet feels and looks fashion forward. Best of all, I can tell the fabric will perform and keep me warm without bulk. I ordered a Large in black and the fit is perfect. PERFECT! I haven't washed it yet but from what I'm seeing, don't expect any issues. Buy it if its in your budget.
A perfect fit, you cannot go wrong! We are so thrilled this falls perfectly on your frame and does not look boxy. Keep us posted on its performance!

PEPFAR Launches New Five-Year Strategy for AIDS Relief and Prevention
- Categorized in: January 2010
WASHINGTON, DC—US officials unveiled a new five-year strategy for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) last month.
The strategy aims to increase HIV prevention, care, and treatment, as well as boost the capacity of countries receiving PEPFAR funds to manage their HIV programs. "If we are to sustain the gains we've made against this epidemic, PEPFAR must work in closer collaboration with country governments to support them in taking the lead and planning a response to their epidemics and orchestrating outside resources," said US Global AIDS Coordinator Dr Eric Goosby, during an event held last month at the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, DC.
In 2003, PEPFAR was authorized as a five-year, $15 billion initiative to combat global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. The Department of State, USAID, HHS, the Departments of Labor, Commerce, and Defense, and the Peace Corps are among the US agencies implementing PEPFAR. As of September 2008, PEPFAR reported that it supports antiretroviral treatment for more than two million people, care for more than 10 million, antiretroviral prophylaxis to nearly 1.2 million HIV positive pregnant women, and reached more than 58 million with prevention programs designed to reduce sexual transmission of HIV.
Under the new PEPFAR strategy, the goal is to double the number of at-risk babies born HIV-free. During the first five years of PEPFAR, 240,000 babies of HIV-positive mothers were born HIV-negative. In addition, the program has a goal to provide direct support for more than four million people receiving treatment. "The focus will be on populations that are most sick, lowest T cells, pregnant women, and HIV/TB co-infected patients. At the same time, we'll work with both our country partners and the international community to continue to lower the price of commodities and distribute the costs of treatment among multiple funders," said Goosby.
PEPFAR funding will also go towards the goal of supporting training and retention of more than 140,000 new health care workers in the countries that receive funding. In addition, there is increased emphasis on ensuring that the partner governments of countries receiving aid lead efforts to evaluate and define needs and roles in the national response. "The five-year strategy is a policy roadmap for where we'll be going ... Over the next year, we'll be working closely with the field, with the implementing countries, to define and identify changes in guidance as we try to implement some of these new emphases that we're identifying," Goosby concluded.
Comments (1)
Where the budget is sustainable five year; inherently government functions(healthcare) with monies going directly to governments or their infrastructure - the budget is voted on just before the Presidential elections. Congress tripled this before electing Obama. The planning is for the same treatment or less and more money going to to other areas like government buildings for government employees in places like Ethiopia.
It is easy to see what Congress and Obama did when denied health care. They took this overseas.
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

text: Soup – is it or is it not a meal? This is a debate as old as time, more perplexing than "to be or not to be," more polarizing than pumpkin beer and candy corn combined. Can hot liquid, regardless of what it contains, stand up as a main dish? This hot-button issue was even the focus of a classic Seinfeld episode - Jerry owes Kenny Bania a meal (in exchange for a free Armani suit), but Kenny orders the soup and tells Jerry he'll take the meal later.

The role of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK3) in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic debilitating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), for which there is no adequate therapy. It is characterized by an immune-mediated inflammation of the CNS (neuroinflammation) which is linked to demyelination, neuronal degeneration and cell death. The mechanism(s) regulating neuroinflammation in MS is still largely unknown. Dr. De Sarno's current research uses the mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), to test the hypothesis that glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3), a protein that is linked to many pathophysiological processes, plays a proinflammatory role in EAE. GSK3 has an important role in regulating cell death and cell survival, the activities of proteins involved in gene transcription, and recently it was revealed to be a major regulator of inflammation. Our recent studies revealed that pretreating mice with the GSK3 inhibitor lithium renders them resistant to developing EAE, and treating them after disease onset attenuates EAE and inhibits relapsing episodes, supporting the premise that GSK3 is proinflammatory in EAE. The goal of Dr. De Sarno's research is to determine the proinflammatory role of GSK3 in EAE and to define the pathophysiological mechanism and cell target of its action that lead to neurological damage. These studies set the framework for better understanding of the inflammatory events that lead to neurological damage in multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. Because inflammation is linked not only to multiple sclerosis, but also to several other neurodegenerative, and psychiatric diseases, the identification of the enzyme GSK3 as a central regulator of the inflammatory processes in the brain will open a possibility for developing more specific targeted therapy for treatment of multiple sclerosis and other diseases of the CNS that involve inflammatory components.
