Damm, are your from the CIA or something? hehehe Regarding push-pull, I´m thinking about buying a Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm but I dont want it the spin at full speed, do you believe the pump fan connector adapts the voltage according the temperature, to reduce rpm when not needed? Or will I have to buy a 3 pin low voltage adapter of some sort, if it exists?
I was taught very well on how to use google properly . I believe that all newer asetek(I do not know about the 760gc) units adapt pump speed on temperature- Yes, the 760gc does adapt fan speed on temperatures http://www.asetek.com/liquid-temp-fan-control.html "Automatic Fan Control adjusts cooling for combined CPU & GPU load" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asetek-760G...-for-NVIDIA-GTX-470-480-570-580-/280965116990 Otherwise, both your Noctua fans should come with a low voltage adapter.
I think the 760gc has fixed pump speed, but I may be wrong. I know about the noctuas adapters but they are 4 pin a(pwm) and the gentle typhoon AP-15 I was thinking about buying are 3 pin (non-pwm)
Check edited previous post. You can put 3 pin fan headers into 4 pin connectors. A 4 pin connector is exactly the same as a 3 pin, it just has an extra pin for controlling the speed(PWN). See this diagram for how to plug a 3 pin into a 4 pin.
So if I put the 3 pin fan connector on a 4 pin low voltage adapter it will reduce the voltage and therefore the rpm? If so and if it was you, would you connect the GT-15 to the pump connector on to a 3 pin motherboard fan header? Once again thanks for ur input, you are being very helpfull
After talking to some other people, I have some more solid advice on push-pull. They said it should make a considerable difference, and is definitely worth it. Personally I would connect it to the motherboard, as this would allow me to make custom fan curves and adjust the RPM in the BIOS. (I do not know if your board supports that). And yes, the low voltage adapter will lower the RPM. Although if you did not want to do that, you should be able to connect them both to the asetek unit, using the included Y cable with the Noctua fans. Although I would run both the noctua's on the 760gc, and the gentle typhoon on just the graphics card cooler. Using 2 different fans on a radiator, can limit fan performance, as they will be running at different RPM's, and therefore causing issues to the fan in pull, as it will be getting too much/not enough air, and it will start to slow down/go faster then it's meant to, and wear the bearings.
Martin from Martin Liquid Lab (martinsliquidlab.org) a known independent fan/pump/wc kits reviewer says he is in favor of using different fans on radiators (check here, post 38: http://www.overclock.net/t/1376811/corsair-sp120-quiet-edition-vs-noctua-nf-f12/30#post_19805606) Tator Tot (a overclock.net user that also seems to know about fans) says that using two NF-F12 on radiators in push-pull makes them noisy...dont know if its true, will have to check when I install everything. My Asus P8Z68-V Pro dosent seem to be able to change the voltage on the 2 chassis fan adapters, at least in speed fan, is there another option? The Asus Q-Fan setting in BIOS is seems to work but there is no graph I can make only a turbo, a standard and a silent option, and I sure dont know the difference. I was thinking about connecting both Noctuas NF-F12 PWM fans on the Motherboard 4 pin PWM CPU_1 and CPU_2 fan adapters and the GT-15 to the Pump fan adapter has you said. But if you believe the noctua fans connected to the pump fan adapter would really adapt the fan speed according to temps I will do it. Where did you read that info?
Well, obviously I was believing the forum myth! You should definitely listen to Martin, he has an extreme amount of knowledge on this stuff. Try downloading Asus FanXpert, that should allow you to control the fans. This video should help- ASUS Fan Xpert 2 Tutorial and Overview - YouTube http://www.asetek.com/liquid-temp-fan-control.html "Automatic Fan Control adjusts cooling for combined CPU & GPU load" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asetek-760GC...-/280965116990
Thank you, I will try fanxpert. So I can connect the 4 pin noctuas to the 3 pin pump connector... I bought PWM fans because I thought it would be the best way to automatically control the speed and reduce the noise in a efficient way... And now I noticed I could have bought the cheaper (and better it seems) gentle typhoons ap 15 :-( The only problem I see with connecting the fan to the 740gf pump connector is that that it would had to also power the pump itself and the vrm fan, has the device only gets power from the VGA fan header. Seems to me that could be too much voltage and it could damage it, what do you think?
I do not have any idea how many watts/amps the VGA fan header is, and what the requirements of the pump and 2 fans are. This is why I recommended the motherboard fan control option.
I think I will run the 740GF from the Motherboard, as you sugested, probably a Noctua NF-F12PWM. Is there isnt a way to make that PWM fan RPMs change according to GPU temperature?
If FanXpert does not have GPU temp control, and you cannot find an external program that views gpu temps and allows you to setup fan curves, you would actually have to use the gpu fan header, and then setup fan curves from a GPU tweaking program.
That's what I thought, if the 740gf was designed like that it should work, right? ;-) What about you, what wc components do you have?
Id recommend a tbalancer fan contrller they come with sensors and are software setup in Windows and easily power fans and pumps to a controlled temp, I dont think a gfx card fan header is able to give out pump wattage , 2 fans max imho and pumps can easily pull a lot of power especially at start up, too much imho for mobo headers, ive found max speed pump well mounted and controlled push pull fans ideal and quite enough.
Those t balancer sure look hard to control, I wad hoping to let the motherboard do everything automatically
Well you can setup the fans off mobo headers just permanently power the pump direct from psu , I sit my pumps on a few layers of filter/foam or susspend them from something so the sounds minimal and its best anyway to have high pressure and flow as fans can be set lower and quit err whilst cooling well the tbalancer is sweet very easy to use with win7 but admittedly not necessary. Oh and ive two gpus in a single loop with a cpu and they all stay within ten degrees package temp and the water gains 5-10 degrees max all round the loop so controlling the temp of it all off just the cpus temp.
I don't think you know what pump he is talking about . This watercooling system he is using is an asetek AIO. So the pump is built into the waterblock, the pump gets it's power from the GPU fan header plug. The units he is using are the 760gc and a 760gf.
It's a 760GC (no problem cause it has a 3 pin female connector to connect to a mb fan header) and a 740GF (which gets its power, a the vrm fan, from the VGA fan header.

By Hank Kurz Jr. The Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Virginia would like to use the spotlight of a Thursday night game to show that its football program really is on the way up, even if its record suggests otherwise.
The Cavaliers (4-6, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) host North Carolina on Senior Night. While at least 16 players will be playing their final home game at Scott Stadium, they say sentimentality takes a back seat to winning.
"Everyone who loves college football is watching this game, and it's a statement game," senior linebacker LaRoy Reynolds said this week. "... The atmosphere is going to be great, The feeling of playing the last home game, being with the team again and working to get this bowl bid - I think the energy's going to be there, the passion's going to be there and the effort is definitely going to be there."
Virginia has won two in a row after a six-game losing streak, and still needs to beat the Tar Heels and then state rival Virginia Tech in next weekend's regular-season finale to qualify for a bowl game.
The victories at N.C. State and at home against Miami have their confidence soaring.
"We knew we needed to turn this thing around before it was too late," senior linebacker Steve Greer said. "We did put ourselves in this position. I think everyone's all-in, everyone's bought in, so we're going to have to go out and we're facing a good team, so we're going to have to play well."
North Carolina (6-4, 3-3) would be in contention to win the ACC's Coastal Division title if not for a one-year postseason ban imposed by the NCAA. The Tar Heels relish the chance to keep Virginia home, too.
"We're all about trying to spoil other people's stuff, I guess," tailback Gio Bernard said this week. "We don't have a Christmas present. We want to try to take away other people's Christmas presents, I guess you could say it like that. But for the most part, we just want to keep winning."
Or get back to it, especially after the way the Tar Heels lost last weekend.
While Virginia won a stirring duel with Miami 41-40 on Michael Rocco's 10-yard touchdown pass to Jake McGee with 6 seconds left, the Tar Heels broke futility records in a 68-50 home loss to Georgia Tech.
The loss made having a short week a blessing, first-year coach Larry Fedora said.
"You really don't have time to dwell on it," he said. "Probably the best thing for us is we play the short week. So mentally you don't have time to think about it. You don't have time to cry about it.
"You've got to step up. You've got to go. It's time to go again."
Virginia intends to continue with its quarterback rotation, using both Rocco and Alabama transfer Phillip Sims, even after Rocco completed a school-record 18 consecutive passes against the Hurricanes.
The coaching staff and players might prefer having more time to prepare for Bernard. He has rushed for 1,008 yards, by far the most in the ACC, and is averaging 7.1 yards per carry. He is also the conference's top punt returner with a 17.9-yard average and two returns for touchdowns.
"He's a great player, a great running back, probably one of the best that we're going to play against," Reynolds said. "I have a lot of respect for him, but you live for competition like this."

Sony patents a system that can detect emotions
A patent filed by Sony, and found by Siliconera, shows a system that detects laughter, sadness, anger, boredom, and other emotions caused by watching David Caruso on the telly.
Apparently, it uses metadata which detects emotions filtered through a microphone and expressions picked up by the camera. Both are then linked to the game console (PS3), and transfers said data over a network.
The patent mentions body gesture identification and the ability to track group interactions "such as when two individuals give each other a High Five", and can also detect boredom if a user is "looking away from the presentation, yawning, or talking over the presentation."
It's not just limited to games, either. It can also be used for TV shows, films, and media presentations.
What will Sony think of next.

Jupiter as Art
Readers of Air & Space magazine are probably familiar with Michael Benson's breath-taking images of our solar system. His enhanced and composite photographs taken from missions as far-flung as Voyager to the Earth-observing Terra satellite, and should make even the most awed Hubble Space Telescope fans double-take at our neighboring planets. While it's limiting to put his work into categories, there are two types of images Benson makes that stand out above the others. One type is the stark, minimalist image, like a top-down view of Uranus, a smooth turquoise sheen loosely wrapped by a thin, fragile ring. The other type are his richly detailed scenes, like this one above, a composite of Voyager photographs taken in 1979, of Jupiter's Great Red Spot with its relatively tiny moon Europa transiting above. The currents seem almost to move in 3D on the screen. You can experience more of Benson's work in Washington, D.C. in the art gallery of the American Association of the Advancement of Science until June 28, 2013, or in his new book, Planetfall.

Shopping shop until you drop.
Well not so fast your tax free shopping deals from Internet retailers like Amazon Overstock.Com.
In zappos may be nearing an and today the House Judiciary Committee held a key hearing.
On a bill to collect sales tax from online retailers -- shopping heresy here in exclusive interview two different.
-- straight from the meeting is congressman Steve Womack congressman thank you for joining me today.
My pleasure Melissa great to be with you so I pay sales tax the retailer -- physical presence in my state will the bill change that.
Well it would if the states the state where you live work to choose to change that and that's the great thing about my bill.
It doesn't do anything except give the states the authority to compel an online remote seller.
Like some of the ones you just mentioned -- to collect and remit the taxes just as if that sale had taken place.
In -- on main street where you live -- so we have a a terrible dilemma in the retail world right now with regard to fairness.
The traditional we call them brick and mortar stores that you're familiar with downtown.
And at the mall.
They have to collect and remit because they are physically located in that state but the online remote seller.
Where a lot of people go to five.
Doesn't have to do that could finally pay I saw there.
Wondering why you wanna protect Wal-Mart.
Over the customer at home.
Hello this is this is not about Wal-Mart this is about fairness.
For the traditional brick and mortar institution.
Because they are required to do something that their online counterparts are not are required to do that onus is on the consumer.
And we are -- we are creating.
Traditionally onus would be on the consumer has the consumers the one that's benefiting from -- you really only -- -- things that you want to discourage were in an economy -- -- consumers hurting why would you want to tax them more.
We -- Melissa that's part of the argument here you mentioned the onus is not on the consumer.
What you don't -- may not understand a lot of my constituents don't even understand it when they buy something online from an out of state seller that doesn't have a presence in Arkansas.
There is a use tax it is due and payable to lawfully due and payable in our state.
And the consumer has to go to the Internet download the form record the purchase in remit the use tax.
-- that's happening of those trends I am going to know what I'm doing that.
Well it's a -- fully due and payable tax and so I think it's about fairness and again I.
I want -- -- it right back to what I said in the beginning we have -- playing field if you will in the retail community that is terribly out of balance.
And -- -- in the reason I'm Carrie in this legislation is because I am I don't agree that the government by its action or it's -- -- Should should influence one business model over another business model the government shouldn't be picking winners and losers losers in by.
But you can't -- like you're doing that fell by by raising the taxes on the online retailers I mean they could say the exact same thing.
And if you're trying to level the playing noble Amazon is battling right back and they're saying that they're gonna discount their shipping so that they can keep their prices.
Below the brick and mortar because they don't think it's fair and they want to keep their customers.
I mean this is a free market.
And it's about getting customers the best price so I don't think we -- writing against that.
-- you can get -- -- not helping customers get the best price your helping them pay more I don't want to -- our congressman.
Thank you for making my point for me coming on a free market guy to yes I think you did -- because -- -- -- attacks more people.
-- -- -- -- If you believe in free markets you must believe in price is a factor selection is a factor may be service is a factor convenient -- factor.
Should a tax policy be one of the criterion on which people make that decision sure absolutely -- not.
Well because there are use taxes that are in effect those taxes are lawfully due and payable -- just not being remitted.
By the consumer.
And we want to change that we wanna make sure that the playing field is balance that a sale that takes place in on main street in America.
Is it treated the same on tax policy as it is -- on.
Stories I mean you can go into a brick and mortar store and get customer service there's all kinds of added benefits that they have.
And may -- wanna pay for that through the sales tax and it's worth it to you if you go online.
You're buying something virtual that you haven't seen in -- saying he's saving the sales tax I mean there -- benefits and cost of both ways of shopping.
I don't understand why you want to make it more expensive for the consumer at a time when our economy is suffering we don't want to discourage shopping.
What we don't want discouraged shopping in in certainly is -- -- mayor and somebody that but you aren't excited taxes.
Well this is not raising taxes in any and we can have this agreement I think till the sun goes down finally the fact is you made a comment a minute ago about people paying sales tax the so that they can get.
Better service in the store you'll pay sales tax because you get better service in the store and -- -- aren't going to -- you more overall because I'm getting services store.
What do we -- bottom line is I I think a true free market.
Individual believes it price elections -- -- all those kind of things free shipping shopping your pajamas.
Those are part of the business model.
A tax policy that's weighted toward the online remote community I think is terribly.
This advantageous to level the playing field by removing the tax for everyone -- about -- congressman.
-- that's another great thing about my bill states don't have to do this and if states want to reduce their tax burden I think with.
Perhaps -- revenue that they could find from collecting from the online remote sellers it's lawfully -- and payable to them they could reduce taxes I love it I would hope they would let's end on that note we agree thank you so much congressman thank you so he's anti tonight.

Short Throw Projectors: Create Big Images in Small Spaces
A short throw projector allows users to create big pictures in tight spaces, without concerns about shadows obstructing the image or light shining in the presenter's face.
Short throw projectors have very short throw ratios, the distance from projector to screen compared to the screen size. For example, a projector with a 1.5:1 throw ratio would have to be 7.5 feet back to project a 60-inch diagonal image. Short throw projectors like the Hitachi CP-A100 (pictured), which boasts a 0.37:1 throw ratio, can project the same large image from just 1.4 feet away from the screen.
They were designed with educators in mind.
"Education is the main driving force behind the short throw market," Keith Yanke, NEC Display Solutions' director of product marketing, recently told Gearlog.com. "Installation and integration is usually cheaper when using a short throw model because you are installing the projector to the wall and not on the ceiling. This means lower mount costs, lower cable costs and less labor."
In addition to cost-savings, short throw projectors are also more flexible than their traditional counterparts. Educators can use them at the front of the classroom, rather than the back. No more worries about little feet tripping over the cables.
Short throw projectors are made with a higher quality lens than traditional projectors, according to Gearlog. They may also employ a chipset that "pre-warps" the image so it can be projected from a short distance.

Race Tinges Debate Over Next La. Chief Justice NECN.com July 22, 2012 http://www.necn.com/06/23/12/Race-tinges-debate-over-next-La-chief-ju/landing_politics.html?&apID=2aab086967314f918426c1cfee943362 NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The process for naming Catherine "Kitty" Kimball's successor as chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court doesn't seem to leave any room for debate. The state constitution calls for the position to be filled by the longest-serving justice on the state's highest court. But two of Kimball's colleagues are staking claims to that distinction, setting the stage for a potentially bitter, racially tinged power struggle that could wind up in federal court. Justice Bernette Johnson of New Orleans has hired a lawyer to help her make the case that she deserves to fill the post and become the court's first black chief justice. Others argue Justice Jeffrey Victory of Shreveport is next in line for the job, even though he was sworn in after Johnson started serving on the seven- member court. The outcome hinges on whether Johnson's first few years of service on the court should be counted in calculating her seniority. When voters elected her in 1994, Johnson technically filled a seat on the state's 4th Circuit Court of Appeal but was assigned to serve on the Supreme Court on a full-time basis under the terms of a federal consent decree. The settlement, which created an eighth Supreme Court district centered on New Orleans, resolved a lawsuit that claimed the system for electing justices diluted black voting strength and violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Johnson filled the eighth seat until the court reverted back to seven districts in 2000, when she was elected again. Victory joined the court in 1995, a year after Johnson. He declined comment through a court spokeswoman, but his supporters argue the clock on Johnson's seniority didn't start running until 2000. An attorney for Victory also declined to comment. Johnson's attorney, James Williams, said she has served as a full-fledged member of the Supreme Court since 1994. The 1992 consent decree said the judge who filled the new seat "shall participate and share equally in the cases, duties, and powers of the Louisiana Supreme Court." "This notion that this was a temporary seat or an ad hoc seat is completely inconsistent with what the facts and the law say," Williams said. Williams said the simmering controversy "makes our state look bad." "It is sad that this is where the focus has been," he said. "The reality is we should be celebrating the fact that, in 2012, Louisiana is progressive and diverse enough to have its first African-American chief justice." Johnson's supporters maintain that race is a factor in the dispute, not simply because she is black and Victory is white. "How could it not be about race?" asked Loyola University law professor Bill Quigley, who represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the consent decree. "The only way that Justice Victory's supporters can prevail is to discount the service of the court's only black justice, who is serving as a result of the Voting Rights Act." National Urban League president Marc Morial, a former New Orleans mayor, echoed those sentiments in a news release this past week. "Justice Johnson's presence on the Supreme Court in 1994 represented a victory over Louisiana's dark history of racial gerrymandering," Morial said. "Invalidating her years on the court not only would be an affront, it would be an outright breach of federal law and a return to the dark days of racial gerrymandering." Kimball's elevation to the job was widely celebrated in 2009, when she became the court's first female chief justice. But she suffered a stroke the following year, forcing her to temporarily abandon many of her judicial duties. She returned to the bench in late 2010 but announced her retirement in April 2012. Her successor, whomever that may be, is scheduled to be sworn in on Feb. 1, 2013. Earlier this month, Kimball set a July 31 deadline for the justices to weigh in with briefs on which colleague is the "oldest in point of service" under the terms of the state constitution. Three appellate judges were picked to help decide the matter because Johnson, Victory and Justice Jeannette Knoll have been recused. Knoll joined the court in 1997, which could make her the second-most senior justice ahead of Johnson if Victory's argument prevails. Williams wouldn't speculate on how his client would respond if the Supreme Court sides with Victory, but Quigley and other legal experts expect her to sue in federal court if that happens. LSU Law Center professor Raymond Diamond, who teaches constitutional law and has served on the board of directors of the Louisiana Supreme Court Historical Society, said the dispute shouldn't be governed by the language of the state constitution. "This is a matter of the meaning of a federal district court's order," he said of the consent decree. "If that order is constitutional, then it primes everything in Louisiana law, including the Louisiana constitution." Diamond said the spat threatens to tarnish the reputation of the normally staid court. "That bad publicity will be redoubled by the appearance of a racial conflict, whether or not the parties intend it that way," he said. Johnson was re-elected to another 10-year term in 2010. Victory is up for re-election in 2014. Money most likely isn't a motivating factor for the justices vying to replace Kimball. The chief justice is paid $157,050, while associate justices earn $149,571. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
Replacements: Rory Harrison, Adam Clarkin, Brian Cawley, Rob Shanley, Stephen Murphy.
Replacements: George Hargey, James Taggart, Matthew Rea, Ian Vance, Darrell Montgomery.
Reliable out-half James Thornton kicked UCD into a 6-0 lead with a couple of penalties inside the opening 10 minutes. His opposite number Rory Drysdale grabbed three points back, following a high tackle from Danny Kenny.
From the restart, the students forced a turnover and winger Sam Coghlan Murray showed great pace and power to get over in the corner for a try which Thornton converted from the touchline.
Further pressure came from a Kenny-won lineout as scrum half Jamie Glynn sent David Lynch racing through midfield. The Braidmen scrambled back to avert the danger, but Drysdale then saw yellow for a deliberate knock on close to the visitors' try-line.
It was a harsh call in some observers' eyes and although Ballymena defended manfully with full-back Ricky Andrew producing one memorable try-saving tackle, a second try for 'College was inevitable.
It came on the stroke of half-time as backs and forwards combined to tee up the in-form Barry Daly for a well-taken five-pointer, moving UCD 18-3 clear.
The Ulster Senior Cup champions had a decent spell of possession at the start of the second half, their forwards picking and going as they tried to close the gap on the scoreboard.
But they could not break down the 'College defence in which back rowers Kenny and Conor Gilsenan were outstanding. UCD showed their clinical edge in attack again when centre Alex Kelly broke free on the hour mark to create Coghlan Murray's second try.
Thornton's conversion widened the gap between the sides to 22 points. Stephen Murphy came off the bench to almost seal the bonus point - his try was ruled out from an earlier indiscretion.
But the fourth touchdown for the students arrived courtesy of flanker Gilsenan, who helped Leinster 'A' qualify for the British & Irish Cup quarter-finals last week. Thornton converted to complete his 12-point haul.
UCD are now up to fourth in the league table, while Ballymena are two points behind Bruff at the bottom. John Andrews' men will have to regroup quickly for next Friday's Ulster derby away to Malone.

I watched the video. Am I getting too old that all I can think about is how awful it would feel for that ocean water to come rolling up while you were kissing on the beach? Yup, he's a hunk, though.
That was a great review & as I commented on the other site- I 'stole' the dialogue from the video clip and posted it on my hubby's facebook wall

To be updated constantly....
Do not use Wikipedia/Allmusic as a reference for what emo really is.
External Links with more detailed knowledge than I
Thanks to Mystlyfe77 for this link
Thanks to dabears116 for this link
In recent years, the term "emo" has been bastardized by the media to mean a stereotypical movement of middle class kids who dye their hair, dress up in "scene" fashion attire, whine a lot, cut themselves, and listen to bands who also whine a lot.
This is not what it means, or even close to it.
The bands that are now called emo have zero similarities in sound with any of the original emo bands. These bands should not be classified as such.
Emo comes from the term emotive hardcore. I should probably underline the hardcore part. It is a spin-off sub-genre of hardcore punk, that originated in suburban Washington D.C. when a select few hardcore bands started singing about more personal issues, using harsher vocals, and getting much more invested in the emotional aspects in live performances.
Another insult thrown out to bands is the term "screamo". Screamo is a spin-off from emo that uses much harsher vocals, often screamed, while retaining melodic instruments and tight musicianship. Screamo is not a term that should be used to describe the latest scene bands with screamed vocals that the Warped Tour eats up. For an example of real screamo, see Circle Takes the Square.
I myself don't appreciate the term being trashed because it's an integral music scene that originated in a place I call my home. So please don't listen to Fox News or some 25 year old Rolling Stone writer who doesn't know jack about the subject.
For examples of real emo:
Cap'n Jazz-"Little League"
Embrace-"Give Me Back"
Indian Summer-"Truman"
Moss Icon-"Hate in Me"
Rites of Spring-"End on End"
Essential Emo/Screamo Bands
Circle Takes the Square
Fire Party
Funeral Diner
Gray Matter
I Hate Myself
Indian Summer
I Would Set Myself On Fire for You
Moss Icon
Policy of 3
Rites of Spring
Essential Emo Albums (need more additions)
Cap'n Jazz-Analphabetapolothology (Anthology)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Temperatures soared across the Midwest yesterday, reaching 108 degrees in St. Louis, and possibly causing two deaths in Kansas City, Mo.
In Kansas City, where the temperature rose to 105, the health department said two deaths were being investigated to determine whether they were heat-related.
A massive high-pressure system over the Midwest caused triple-digit temperatures in Chicago for the first time in seven years. The oppressive heat is expected to linger for several days.
The searing heat presented a challenge for the St. Louis Zoo, which provided misting machines, large fans and cooling stations for visitors and took steps to cool down the animals.
"When it gets hot like this, we like to take a bone and freeze it into a big block of ice then throw it into a pool where the big cats can play with it," said Jack Grisham, vice president of the zoo's animal collections. "We'll freeze bananas and oranges and throw them to the primates as well."
Hill City, Kan., which has been the hottest spot in the nation for five days, reached 108 yesterday afternoon, the National Weather Service said. On Wednesday, the thermometer hit 115.

The Attorneys General from both Arizona and Utah will be there.
Also, Bruce Wisan, the court-appointed administrator of the lands of the twin towns will be there.
And everyone in the towns is invited to attend. But in all likelihood, most will stay home -- at least those who follow FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs.
Why? Because Warren Jeffs, the imprisoned pedophile prophet, said so.
He's told his people, "don't cooperate."
Cooperation, he threatened, will bring excommunication.
Oh, there will be a few people there -- mostly apostates who reject Jeffs. There are a few in the towns.
And yet, even though the meeting will have a direct and dramatic bearing on their lives, Warren's people will likely be no-shows.
The very people state authorities need to reach the most will stay away. So, what's the point?
The meeting is Friday night at the El Capitan public school in Colorado City.
We'll let you know if anyone shows up.

Bollywood and Gang of Friends
Fukrey – releasing today – is the story of four (presumably silly, good-for-nothing) friends hanging around (presumably) Delhi and getting their orifices (presumably not literally) attacked by female members of the Mafia. Now is a good time to look at Gangs of Friends – in decreasing order of gang size.
We bring you Filmy Friday, a column by Diptakirti Chaudhuri.
Chaudhuri is crazy about Bollywood. In fact, he is crazy enough to have
written a book on Bollywood trivia. He can be found on Twitter and Blogger by his first name.

Widnes Vikings have given former Bradford Bulls forward Phil Joseph an early birthday present in the shape of a contract for 2013 after he impressed during trials at the Stobart Stadium.
Joseph, who turns 28 tomorrow, has been with the Vikings since the start of pre-season training in late October and played in their 30-22 Boxing Day defeat by Warrington Wolves.
"Since his arrival on a trial basis, Phil has done everything we have asked of him, fitted in well and become a really strong member of our group," said Widnes coach Denis Betts.
Huddersfield-born Joseph made his debut for his hometown club in 2004 and went on to have spells at Swinton, Hull KR, Halifax, Oldham and Bradford, for whom he made six appearances in Super League in 2012.
He said: "I've worked hard to get myself into this position and I'm really pleased to have been rewarded with a deal."

Leading Edge Forum Blog

The main theme of our research during 2013 has been the need for companies to become more outside-in. We have used outside-in as an umbrella term to describe the mindset and operating model that is needed to keep up with today's rapidly changing business/IT environment where many of the most important opportunities and pressures stem from developments outside of the walls of the firm.
Many months ago, I sat down with Adrian Seccombe (LEF research associate and advisory board member of the Information Security Forum) and mapped out the identity space. We were looking for different types of game play that were possible, the most attractive option to play, and the sequence you would undertake.
Apps today are like our modern valets, expected to serve people whenever and wherever they are, on whatever device they have. Successful apps deliver immediate and personalized information and experiences through streamlined digital interactions. Tens of billions are in use today, across an astonishing array of consumer and business activities.
But this is only the beginning. Apps are becoming critical to product and service leadership in just about every industry sector. They represent the future of how firms interact with customers, employees, partners and machines, as we increasingly access the internet and control our world from devices in the palms of our hands. Our recent report, the Apps rEvolution, describes the many new ways that information, software, consumers and the physical world are interacting, some revolutionary, some more evolutionary in nature.
I often hear the line that culture eats strategy for breakfast, but do we really know this? What we do know is that activities evolve through a common path from genesis to custom built examples to products with rental services and onto commodity with utility services. What we also know is the style of competition changes as things evolve and that companies have inertia to change due to many factors including past success.

Claremont University Consortium: Free Speech Silenced by Administrators
At the Claremont University Consortium in California, there were several blatant attacks on constitutionally protected free speech. At Scripps College, flyers for a "white party" were criticized by the administration and a "cultural epithet and offensive drawing on the write and wipe board of a student's room" was erased. At Harvey Mudd College, a student's message on a whiteboard "Hillary is a foxy lesbian" was erased and campus security was notified. These and several other cases highlighted by student writers on campus shed light on potential systemic violations of student speech rights at the Consortium.
