MSI and TechnPowerUp bring you the newest Facebook Giveaway, your chance to win some great prizes by simply priming up to Graham's Number liking our Facebook page (if you haven't already), and filling up a short form (or making Facebook do it). Up for grabs is an MSI Z68A-GD65 socket LGA1155 motherboard (1st place), two sets of MSI flash drive and "Military Class III" mousepads each (2nd and 3rd places); and two MSI LED watches (4th and 5th places). For more information, and to participate, visit this page. Also Announcing the Winners of Fractal Design and TechPowerUp Facebook Giveaway! Here are the winners of our Fractal Design Giveaway held earlier this month. A huge congrats to you guys! Kadir from Turkey, wins Fractal Design Define XL R2 (black) case James from Australia, wins Fractal Design Newton R3 800W power supply Alexey from Germany, wins Fractal Design Adjust 108 fan controller
I have no complains becuase i know how hard it is to get prizes for giveaways. Something is better than nothing, Good luck all.
what? You're complaining about the prizes in a giveaway? I mean if it was a competition of some sort I could understand but for this you don't have to do any effort. Even if you wind up not using the prizes you can always sell them (free money).
One of the things that I enjoy about being on a site like TechPowerUp.com is seeing the different cultural and economic viewpoints. This giveaway has shown how people react on both accounts. I (my viewpoint) think it is in very poor taste to give, as a prize, anything but your best, and some of the comments echo that. These prizes represent the company, and MSI should have asked themselves what this says about them. Others don't care that MSI, "one of the world's largest motherboard and video card manufacturers. In addition, MSI also manufactures a wide range of products including notebooks, gaming laptops, All-in-One PCs, servers/workstations, industrial PCs, household appliances, car infotainment products, barebone systems and communication devices among other things" - with "Revenue TW$74.61 billion / $2.54 billion (2011)" (from wikipedia)- would give away a discontinued, (Newegg.com) previous generation product. This is not to bash MSI's products. Their use of "Military Class" components has contributed greatly to the quality and longevity of all motherboards today. I have a MSI N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC that I absolutely love. IMHO, bad form MSI, bad form.
Finnaly someone who didnt just complain but gave reasoning behind it, ( which i 100% agree with by the way). But nice to see more people doing give away's and getting popularity on social media, having a chance to win for clicking 1 keyboard key and 1 mouse click, definitely cant complain on my end. Thanks TPU and MSI
HOLY HELL........... How does a giveaway turn into a crybaby fest?? Its a GIVEAWAY, who cares it is FREE.............
some other threads are popping up with malware warnings from Google Chrome... in particular the 360 office thread and the monster 7750 thread. not sure if they ARE infected but chrome says they are so i'm staying away until otherwise... just thought you'd want to know !
"Kadir from Turkey, wins Fractal Design Define XL R2 (black) case" i think that named person winner is me
I like all of these people with under 10 posts both winning and crying about giveaways here on TPU...and I thought I was a troll...
Id be very happy to win the motherboard. Even just to win one of those little watches is better than nothing.

What don't clock China provoking a dangerous game of chicken America Ireland I don't feel good.
And more -- -- if we needed -- YouTube visit to China you're doing it on.
Well a chicken wing and a prayer.
Because the Chinese Government is now cracking down on mcdonalds.
For allegedly serving chicken wings ninety minutes after they were -- The rules apparently said that there is a half hour limit this is the same China that last year literally shut down some Wal-Mart stores because.
Well they supposedly -- labeled organic meat -- -- McDonald's without Wal-Mart let's leave aside when they were.
You know poisoning our animals that are contaminated games -- kids.
But I digress.
This pretty much says.
Slice -- Arctic to Charles Payne Dagen McDowell -- -- -- -- Charlie Gasparino.
-- -- Charles -- me thinks that.
We're having a little bit of a tit for tat.
We are having a little bit of a tit for -- now on our side -- we've gone to war with China over Windmills and solar panels with a lot of Americans don't realize what they'd already done though.
What's what a 100% tariff on chicken feet.
I don't know of you aware of that did non yes apparently chicken feet in the bear -- -- -- better than fried chicken feed the -- they called chicken balls over there and that they say we were pumping the price.
The -- listens free information on basic cable and I appreciate.
I've got it.
These trade wars began but you know and always -- 200 timing weird when we went don't of this precious lives resource stuff that.
Goes in the plaza -- it's a few days later.
-- -- -- -- Absolutely and that's what I'm saying we have to we have to understand where we pick our wars doing.
I can listen to we we we don't have the guts to call a currency manipulator we don't have -- got to go after.
The all the and intellectual property that they still so it boils down to chicken feed McDonald's -- solar panel's thoughts its power.
They finance our government decrypt it and some ways -- -- there's you know -- do -- the they're there they're gonna call the shots and so in other words were afraid that -- car lot -- banker -- that's right -- until the bank will stop lending to us.
Good evening I'm a big believer that they need us as much as we need them and those private key agreement are they wanted -- but we're afraid to recognize that reality.
One point is with the debt and yet that the largest foreign creditor to the US but -- not gonna do any thing that drives down the price of that investment.
They're gonna make waves just like they might be doing with McDonald's just like they did with Wal-Mart all the periphery.
Focused -- going after one will -- McDonald's restaurant is alike is now after that yeah -- than 1000 days I think that that's now I mean listen.
Didn't -- -- shutting it was once they don't then go out there was no -- to.
About the currency part and the ended that there was once a time when mortgage backed securities -- Tripoli.
Our and they were considered money good.
-- much saying the US is where the mortgage backed security market is now but you know it doesn't take a rocket science to figure out you know five years and now may -- The the the currency of choice and the and the bond of choice is well.
My German now that I'm into this hole -- double -- struck -- in this story one that is bad -- chicken wings after ninety minutes if that's the case any of these guys and these are gonna go to -- it.
That stuff has been sitting there I think for days but I digress on the car that's exactly right about that but we we don't have it -- about it -- connector -- and I look like a and -- -- -- to help the flimsy excuse it's a very flimsy excuse to go right back at the United States saying you know we -- play this game -- but to what end.
Well this this calls to mind the days -- the Japanese would hope would hold up American cars.
At the at the Tera station and say you know the bumper is seventeen -- but it can only be sixteen point seven inches -- you can't you can't bring this it.
That's the kind of -- the Chinese are doing right now -- I completely agree with -- -- -- mean they need us.
At absolutely as much as we need them if our companies stopped using China to manufacture their products the Chinese economy would collapse and they would have an insurrection in the cities and in the countryside.
They know this.
And by the way Charles we have called them out as currency manipulator we -- and I think our.
And -- minister bipartisan -- -- -- you have got very little there has been doing their best they object your feet and bear but he won't -- about.
Well I really held it until he said you know could people trying to very well my music is on track you know -- -- -- officials say what you want about Geithner and all these guys -- it's that -- acting rationally.
We don't have that much.
Carolina point they do we don't have now it's probably not the greatest and I just I -- -- when you come on -- you -- -- you are the people there don't.
The driver's -- what are you work out like four hours a -- right.
Two and Linux at least -- That's what I worked on in my life now the bottom line is that you take no fools so I think you've got to be on -- -- -- -- -- were afraid.
To cause a dust up what they're always gonna be on defense and I think today -- what we -- -- -- not to make a profound point.
That I think what happens -- -- don't recognize that we're in the driver's seat they had this huge surplus because about they risks that surplus it date if they ignore.
So if you were that was -- you know you -- -- -- -- -- up and now I thought I I admitted -- I agreed largely would you say but here's the -- like to see that.
We are in the drivers seat on in this relationship.
Is insane they find.
It's hard blow to government they're gonna be I gave them that grow -- -- Data till we gave some of it but they still are a Nazi media they have now -- 90% of their surplus but that's pretty impressive I thought we -- I know that they don't -- -- contact at that.
We're 90% of that did their best customer Charles then I'm okay are you don't (%expletive) off and there are 7% the bar of what they -- -- percent of our bonds -- the the bottom line though.
And that -- visitors back.
The -- maybe a different kind of guts than.
Maybe we didn't run trillion dollar deficits all of that together that day maybe I got -- many ways that we -- the belt is a little bit we can come out and they really with the kind of why are they win tonight at peace offer I think we -- these offerings and like five day old to humans.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That's my not to point at me like that's my point is they can squeeze one McDonald's restaurant but they have what more than at that like thirteen hundred McDonald's in the nation.
That the country.
Did the people of China and the leadership they're not stupid.
They know that they can do it they can to go after one restaurant they're not gonna go after the whole chain because they want those businesses in that country operate.
-- Look wherever and we're not stupid either we have trade actions against the Chinese all the time you we have we've -- actions on steel and the other products that Charles mentioned we're -- the good news is this is a trade war not a war it's very normal course of diplomatic business and that's a good thing I think we should be happy about that I don't think why I don't know why we should be happy about the fact that we run these massive deficits and then we have -- -- -- -- aaron's -- time -- we -- our problem that -- doesn't really have and that I would -- anything.
-- right that -- in the pickle wherein because we don't know how to run our that's it it's cheapened our dollar made oil more expensive -- absolutely so we have put ourselves in this predicament but.
Part of that predicament is the spending that we've done and China's bill that's there will start out and I think Charles that China's got a wake up and realize.
The more you plus we can -- Well I did on the call and first time in six or not right to their back again.
Full more closely expose that -- us for a year.
-- -- are -- -- -- on interest rates go up unlike not to boycott -- for a year why why is it unlikely at -- and -- in January.

Here we go again. Giving doomsayers yet more time to predict the end of the Earth, the perpetually delayed restart of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has once again been pushed back. CERN, the European lab for particle physics that manages the mega particle accelerator, has nudged the start-up from this summer to some point later in the year at the earliest. The lab is still dealing with repercussions from a September electrical malfunction that put the kibosh on the collider's operation shortly after its initial start-up.
According to CERN, some of the magnets in the LHC's 17-mile- (27-kilometer-) long tunnel will not be ready for testing until September; the lab had previously said it planned to have the collider operating by the end of June. CERN's top brass are set to meet Monday to decide on an advisory panel's recommendations for a repair-and-restart timeline that would have the LHC running by the end of the year.*
Assuming the LHC is brought online by the end of the year as proposed, it will not be going full throttle. As previously planned, the collider will ease into operation with a period of reduced-energy running. Under the panel's recommendations, the LHC would run at an energy of five trillion electron-volts (five TeV) per beam, down from its design energy of seven TeV, until fall 2010.
"CERN's priority for 2009 is to get collision data for the experiments, but with caution as the guiding principle," Steve Myers, the lab's director for accelerators who chaired the advisory workshop, said in a statement. "The recommendations made to the CERN management are cautious, while achieving the goal of running this year."
*UPDATE (2/9/2009): CERN management did approve the recommendations today, stating that the "new schedule foresees first beams in the LHC at the end of September this year, with collisions following in late October.... ensuring that the experiments have adequate data to carry out their first new physics analyses and have results to announce in 2010."

We all have an interest in scientific study but should not show the complacency shown by the second sentence. A lot of "givens" have been shown to be in error. Most academics prefer paychecks to provocation and are quick to shoot down intriguing concepts that are no more a theory than what they hold on to. There are many assumptions found to have been flawed. Here is one. Remember Maxwell's equations..the ones taught for the last 100+ years are NOT Maxwell's equations. Heavyside and Gibbs severely modified them by removing the scalar components.Were you told?

A little less sneering, please, Mr. Matson. Please tell us, sir -- you, who are so sure that we are in suuuuch safe hands! -- have *you* noticed the "off by a factor of 1000" in the Casadio/Harms/Fabi paper? Yes, I'm talking about:
... the paper we're all supposed to be so re-assured by. The paper with the sentence, "Based on this analysis, we argue against the possibility of catastrophic black hole growth at the LHC."
Kindly go to the very first page, and look at the last line before "II. BLACK HOLE DECAY".
Look at where it equates the energy-equivalent of a TeV to 1.8 * 10^-27 kg.
Bhhhhhnt. 1.8 * 10^-27 kg is the energy-equivalent for a giga-electron-volt. A tera is 1000 giga. It should be 1.8 * 10^-24 .
I think there's enough egg here to go 'round on a lot of faces. The legions of keyboard-pounding pontificators who have been rolling their eyes with disgust at the idea of how anybody, *anybody*, could dare question the wisdom of all these eminent, careful, brilliant scientists, or the glory and beauty of their powerful, wonderful collider!
You know, if there were going to be a disaster, this _is_ how it would look, in the months leading up to some irrevocable occurrence. The complacent majority, sitting around breathing each other's fumes and patting themselves on the back, and (as we see!) all just blithely accepting -- doing no checking themselves -- that it's all gonna be just fine, and having a great time laughing at the people who are trying to advocate caution in the face of such an irreversible unknown.
Just imagine the sneering ... the snickering ... the eye-rolling ... the spitting, the disdain ... that would have greeted someone trying to warn people as they boarded the Titanic.
"The bulkheads are not air-tight - they are open, at the top! If you hit an iceberg and breach more than two of the major compartments, the ship will sink!"
What words would go flying back .... "Shut up, you fool! As if this ship would hit an iceberg! Icebergs drift in the water, essentially stationary compared to a ship! This ship can dodge any iceberg, idiot! And the ship is piloted by eminent, experienced officers! Shut up! You're frightening my wife! You're frightening my children!"
The person who tried to issue the warning would soon be lying on the wharf with two black eyes, two broken arms, and a cracked skull. Which part of his face did you punch, Mr. Matson?
10^-24, sir. Check it out.
I suspect that the error to which you refer is typographical, something which should have been caught in proofreading, but was not. Later in the paper, in the description of Table I in Section IV, Subsection D on page 6, the authors do cite a TeV as being equivalent to 1.8 � 10^24 kg. This is in the area where the actual math is being demonstrated. In addition, the area which you cite refers to the TeV as being in the electro-weak scale. Since a length scale is within +/-1 order of magnitude, and the electro-weak scale is around 246 GeV (within one order of magnitude of 1 TeV), this would further argue for the author hitting the wrong key, perhaps as a result of using the ten-key portion of the keyboard, where the bottom of the 7 may easily be tipped when intending to touch the 4. It's a mistake that is easily made.
On a side note, you ask that Mr. Matson cease what you perceive to be sneering, and then launched into a somewhat vicious attack of your own. Given that he has only two sentences which exhibit some level of sarcasm before turning to factual issues while a significant majority of your post contains sarcasm (and much more caustic sarcasm at that) with only occasional mention of factual points, I think perhaps it is not Mr. Matson that has the most need of taking a step back.
How close will the LHC go to creating a black hole, a 1% chance, 10% or 50%, and if it is say 1% would it vanishes as quick as it was made but how long would it last if it was as high as 50%.
In other words at what point would a black hole continue to grow once created?
How close will the LHC go to creating a black hole, a 1% chance, 10% or 50%, and if it is say 1% would it vanishes as quick as it was made or how long would it last if it was as high as 50%.
In other words at what point would a black hole continue to grow once created?
Well, if the LHC does not kill us, its discoveries will be amazing!
If we create a controllable black hole what a great new weapon physicists have given us!
If it creates a black hole that eats us all--who will care?
So much ego. So much failure.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe comment above by Edward John Smith about a 1000-fold error in the paper by Casadio et al. was correct. The error was fixed in a revised version released 2/17/09 at http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.2948
Another 1000-fold error appeared in the 2nd paragraph of the Conclusion of the original paper, which stated: "in order for the black holes created at the LHC to grow at all, the critical mass should be Mc >= 10^5 kg." This was changed in the revised version to "10^2 kg" - 1000 times less.
A critique of the paper by Casadio et al. appeared in August 2009 in an appendix to a revised paper by German physicist Rainer Plaga, Ph.D., "On the potential catastrophic risk from metastable quantum-black holes produced at particle colliders." Dr. Plaga concluded, "Casadio et al. correctly and usefully identify the range of a crucial theoretical parameter Mc [critical mass] for which black-hole growth is not catastrophic, but offer no argument of how to exclude that the real Mc lies outside this range."
This important revised paper by Plaga - which was released August 2009 at http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.1415v3 - demolishes the arguments of CERN's safety theorists and shows that "micro black holes produced at a collider can be captured by Earth and accrete... Thereby they might emit Hawking radiation that might be dangerous to Earth as a whole and/or the inhabitants of CERN and its surroundings." The power would be "the energy released in a major thermonuclear explosion per second."
As a philosopher of science, concerned with the definition of truth and falsity in scientific theories, I have been for quite sometime worried about the growing expansion of fiction thought in science. Fiction thought in science could be defined as the attempt to create a priori a theory, based in wishful thinking and the manipulation of mathematical equations that has nothing to do whatsoever with observed real phenomena. Then once a mathematical fiction is created, in a second phase, fiction thought, acts manipulating experimental evidence to fit the hypothesis established a priori with no real prove whatsoever in nature. That is, fiction thought doesnt explain experimental facts and phenomena observed in nature as the scientific method obliges, but acts with human, anthropomorphic arrogance, trying to bend nature and reality to the mental, linguistic thoughts of the imaginative scientist.
In that regard, we must not forget that science is first a linguistic statement of humanity about the real Universe, and as such it is subject to the rules of truth of any language.
Real science, which tries to explain the Universe with the languages of mathematics and logic tends to be more accurate than philosophy, which uses the language of verbal thought to that purpose; or art, which works with the language of images, because mathematics carries more information, as a synoptic language that words do and art has always accepted its subjective, anthropomorphic nature, and hence it accepts fiction thought from its inception. But in essence, those 3 realms of human knowledge, art, verbal thought and science are linguistic interpretations of the Universe and as such they are subject to the laws of truth and falsity of languages, among which is paramount the existence of fiction thoughts in all languages, which in mathematics was shown to be the case thanks to the work of Mr. Godel. In simple terms, we can say that any language reflects with a series of symbols in a synoptic way the total information of an event or substance of the Universe. And because the language carries by definition far less information than the subject it studies, all languages can, without experimental evidence, create fiction thoughts. That is, a mathematical equation will not be real as long as there is no experimental prove of the phenomenon it describes. For that reason Einstein said to Poncaire, that while I know when mathematics are truth I dont know when they are real. As we do not know if a book of fiction describe real characters unless we identify them in the real world. Thus, to avoid linguistic fictions in science, the experimental method was established, according to which a scientist should only work theories to explain experimental phenomena already observed, by establishing a hypothesis or theory to explain that phenomena. But without prior observation of the phenomena, the scientist should not at all make any research or pretend that his theory is more relevant to truth than Don Quixot, regardless of the beauty of the thoughts of Mr. Cervantes.
Yet in the case he takes the avenue of fiction thought and decides to explore mathematically a certain hypothesis or imaginary equation, he should at least, always respect in his deductions all the proved laws of experimental science, which have been validated by experience. He should avoid any contradiction with those laws or else his theory must be considered false, and no longer belong to the realm of science but of science fiction.
This simple methodology of truth has brought about our present technological civilization and the certainty that the laws of science happen: That when we throw a pen, it will fall down not upwards. Even if a mere change in the negative symbol of a gravitational equation will gives us that fantasy result; that when we heat water, it will boil not freeze even if a mere change of symbol in a thermodynamic equation can give us that result. And for the same two laws, called the law of gravitation and the law of thermodynamics, when a hot, dense black hole appears in our cold surroundings, matter will fall in, not out, and our cold world will evaporate, cooling down the black hole, even if a change of minus symbol in the arrow of time, convinced Mr. Hawking that black holes break the well known laws of gravitation and Thermodynamics. For the same reasons, we dont levitate and we heat water it doesnt freeze.
Mr. Hawking pretends that instead of absorbing matter, black holes will vomit it, which is to say that instead of falling down, a weight will move upwards; that instead of cooling down in our frozen world, they will keep getting hotter&
Why we know this idea is a fiction thought? It is then when the previous explained laws of the scientific method come to our rescue: the idea of a black hole evaporating it is not born from experience but it has been established by theorists a priori, as a mathematical exercise. And it is not a law that follows the known laws of science bt a theory that would break the 4 fundamental laws of science in which reality seats now for quite sometime: Newtons/Einsteins gravitational theory, Boltzmanns Thermodynamics, time causality (movement from past to future) and the Law of conservation of energy and information.
Ad 1+1+1, deduction a priori, lack of experimental evidence and contradiction with known laws of science, and we must deduce evaporating black holes are fiction thought.
And yet this fiction thought is today considered a dogma of modern physics, politically incorrect to discuss, as the fiction thought that Christ was god, the creator of the Universe, is considered a dogma of religion, politically incorrect to discuss, just because a group of 'believers' are extremely active promoting such ideas at any cost...
In the case of Christ, son of God, creator of the Universe, that belief only affects to those Christians, which choose to think so. Thus, in a way, we could even justify respect for such belief, as long as it doesnt impinge with our lives. Otherwise, if we are obliged to believe in the divinity of Christ and someone exercise violence against us to accept that belief, we must rebel and claim our right to reason and think independently, without censorship or imposition.
In the case of black hole evaporation, this was also understood. The belief was hold by a small group of physicists, who worked in the hypothesis, most notable, Bekenstein and Hawking. And such belief was accepted because it was a mere theoretical exercise, as we accept other fiction thoughts, such as multidimensional Universes, parallel worlds, etc. etc. Yet recently it became clear that the Nuclear Company of Europe could make black holes on Earth. And so, the belief in the fiction thought of evaporating black holes is no longer a theme that concerns physicists, but all mankind. As humanity is being submitted to a violent exercise to prove such theory right. Namely, the creation of a black hole that in case of becoming stable might kill mankind& This is a similar case to a fundamentalist believer that imposes his religion with violence. And mankind should not tolerate such imposition. And yet, after 2 years of fighting this company in courts, I have come to realize that this fiction thought is and will be accepted and imposed upon me and all the people of this planet. Why?
Obviously because of the Zeitgeist of this age. We love fiction thought because most outlets of expression are dedicated today to fiction. War has been reconverted into a fiction called sports and we go to the fictional battles of soccer games to shout for victory. Even News are manipulated and Real war is presented as a video-game& Documentaries have disappeared from film making and today only fiction rules in television. Economical statistics are bent to the point that economists say there are truths, half truths, lies and economical statistics. And so, finally, the use of fiction thought has entered the realm of physics, by the hand of quantum theorists that deny the well-proved laws of the experimental method. Yet the Universe is stubborn and Darwinian and it has its own method of proving itself right: Reality exists and happens and fiction thought disappears. In other words, the Universe cares nothing for human imagination but for the laws of proved science. So, despite economical statistics that denied this crisis would happen, and now deny this crisis is still happening, the economy of the world crashed. And despite CERNs wishful thinking, if a black hole appears in its experiments in the next years, it will not obey the fiction thought of Mr. Hawking but the well proved laws of causality in time, thermodynamics, relativity (gravitation) and conservation of energy and information and teach mankind that God are the laws of the Universe, not Christ, not Hawking, not fiction thought, and swallow us all. When this happen we might have time to reflect as we see in our Televisions a hole growing in Geneva, what we have done to ourselves to keep the arrogant fantasy that we could dominate the Tyrannosaurus rex of the galaxy; when this happen we might reflect about the stupidity of giving a corrupted Nuclear Company, employing thousands of physicists that used to make nuclear bombs, 13 billion $, just because its marketing department has been very active promoting a fiction Gods particle; when this happen we will know how dumb we were for believing such absurd fiction thoughts, how little we did to protect our lives; how irrelevant we are compared to the cosmic forces of the Universe& I will just think on the words of Mr. Einstein: 2 things I deem infinite, the Universe and the stupidity of man, and I am not sure of the latter and also Those who impose truth with power, will be the laugh of the gods
Good luck y Buena muerte.
Luis Sancho
Lead Plaintiff in Sancho et al. vs. CERN
The experiment should have quenched all fears. It was an experiment that would recreate an inoffensive black hole of sound called a dumb hole. Once it was created, it would be used to prove that the 2 smaller types of holes known till date, (sound holes and primordial black holes), do evaporate by emitting energy particles, called 'phonons' in the case of sound holes and 'photons' for light holes. And so neither of them, in case they were manufactured here on Earth, would pose any risk to our lives.
A year ago alarms sounded around the World because a similar experiment might recreate a black hole of light, the much more powerful version that feeds on stars and galaxies around the Universe. Critics said that if black holes were created and obeyed Mr. Einstein's Laws, instead of Mr. Hawking's, they could feed on Earth, causing a Nova explosion that would destroy the planet, leaving behind only an ultra-dense rock of dark matter. They sued the Nuclear Company of Europe that was carrying about the experiment (called CERN) and got enough attention from the press as to cause a global alarm and visions of 'mad scientists' running amok in their secluded labs, as those the Nuclear Industry hadn't suffered since the cold war era. In the end, the experiment did not happen because the machine, the so-called Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, broke down before the making of any black hole could be attempted. And so the experiment was delayed for a year... Enough time for Mr. Stenhauer to make his dumb hole at the Institute of Technology at Israel - an easier, weaker, slower substitute, turning at the speed of sound, which could allow mankind to observe how black holes form in the first place and then how they evaporate harmlessly. It would also dismiss the fears of critics, unfairly characterised as the product of an excessive imagination at best, or a crackpot stunt made in search of celebrity at worst - since it was truth that Hawking's radiation, a major plank in the case that the LHC was safe, did not have any empirical proof.
To overcome that major problem, physicists have carried out in the past year 2 new experiments, each of which was supposed to end all controversy:
One investigation was carried out by the Fermi satellite, a gamma-ray telescope launched last spring by NASA, containing the most sophisticated burst detection equipment ever devised, able to observe black hole evaporation in the cosmos, if such existed. The idea was simple. If black holes evaporated, as theorized, they would do it fast, provoking a sudden burst of light (the Hawking radiation in which its mass is supposed to convert). The result would be a sudden, minuscule 'Nova' Explosion, even if the black hole is a small one. And the Fermi satellite should have easily detected such 'flares' in the Halo of the galaxy, where black holes are supposed to form a dense cover of dark matter.
'Houston we have a problem' is reported to have said Mr. Tom Hanks, when asked during the shooting of 'Angels and Demons' to come back at CERN and switch on the machine after the repairs were done.
And indeed, Houston had an unexpected problem when Fermi returned all kind of images of gamma-ray bursts, but none had the signature of a black hole evaporating. So not only was the proof of Hawking radiation lacking – a blow to LHC protagonists – but further oxygen was given to the opinion of critics that consider Mr. Hawking's ideas about black holes outlandish and in open contradiction with Einstein's well tested work.
Those critics had asked in a 2008 US lawsuit (Sancho et Al vs. Doe & CERN) for a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) on the LHC, till the results of Fermi came back to Earth. Yet the suit was dismissed by lack of jurisdiction over CERN, a company which has diplomatic immunity, achieved during the height of the cold war era. Still critics affirm Fermi is a clear prove that black holes don't evaporate, claimed a moral victory and have appealed to a Federal Court at San Francisco, which is still arguing the case.
Yet by the time this occurred the world was immerse in an economical crisis, which made the issue of our possible extinction as a species by a rogue black hole, quite irrelevant, compared to the daily fight for survival among foreclosures, loss of jobs and billions of $ in losses perpetrated by 'expert' rogue bankers.
Only Mr. Buchanan in the New Scientist had the courage to compare both crises, insinuating that 'experts' have a clear record of errors they never recognize. Or as the Russian physicist Lev Landau put it: ''Cosmologists are often wrong, but never in doubt.''
For all those reasons, after Fermi's results, the experiment at Haifa was eagerly awaited by both, supporters and critics, to settle the matter with an experiment that could be controlled.
How did the scientists at Haifa achieve that test-bed? They basically followed Einstein's theory that black holes are 'frozen stars', which therefore should contain an ultra-dense substance that causes their attractive power.
According to Einstein's realistic vision of the Universe, for Holes to exist beyond its mathematical description, they should be made of an ultra-dense substance, able to act as gravitational vortices that absorb one or other type of fundamental energy, depending on the speed at which they turn. This ultra-dense substance, called an 'Einstein-Bose Condensate', found after Einstein's death, happens only with 2 kinds of atomic masses: lighter atoms, which attract each other with the 'electro-weak' force; and heavier quarks, which display a force 100 times stronger than the 'electro-weak' force, called 'strong' force. For that reason, atomic condensates turn much slower, absorbing only sound. While quark condensates turn, thanks to their strong force, 1003 times faster than sound, at light speed, as a black hole will do. Unfortunately, when the quark factory was designed, physicists didn't know quarks could form Einstein's condensates, locking their 'color' in triads to become stable, before they formed those superfluid, liquid condensates. They thought quarks were unstable, repulsive 'fermions' that would become a 'gas' - an explosive, hot, quark gluon-plasma. So when we found they form instead, a cold, attractive superfluid, such discovery was labeled as a 'perfect surprise' by all the physicists involved2.
Thus Haifa scientists used the laws of 'Bose-Einstein' to densely pack atoms into an 'Einstein condensate', creating a supersonic hole that absorbed sound waves. Then they waited to see the Hawking radiation, expecting that the black hole would emit the sound equivalent of photons - phonons - in a burst of noises that a good microphone could easily pick up. In the process the tiny dumb hole would evaporate… Thus CERN would be declared safe and start producing Quark Holes, under the same laws of Einstein condensates this Christmas.
And so a mike was put to the 'dumb' hole to detect, not a glare of light as the Fermi was supposed to observe in the cosmos, but a symphony of sounds.
Unfortunately the worst possible scenario happened. On one hand sound holes were produced with a Bose-Condensate, which means the LHC will produce black holes with quark condensates without the need for 'extra-dimensions' postulated by CERN.
On the other, the dumb hole did not produce any sound at all, any Hawking radiation. So CERN's superfluid quark holes won't evaporate, either. Instead they should fall to the center of the planet and accrete the Earth.
Unruh and Hawking, the theorists who expect to win a Nobel Prize if the radiation is found, retorted that Haifa is not relevant because the experimenters might not have ultra-sensitive equipment to detect it. Maybe, but in safety terms, critics assert that what matters is that the possible radiation was so subdued that we couldn't see it or hear it, neither with Fermi satellite or at the Technion Institute in Haifa; so it will not be able to evaporate the hyper-dense mass of atoms or quarks that form sound/quark holes.
Those critics claim that CERN is not recognizing the two methods of truth in science, experimental evidence and serious, tested theoretical work - in this case Einstein's Relativity and Einstein's condensates that deny evaporation and Haifa's condensates, which proves his frozen stars exist and could be produced at the LHC. Those critics further assert that CERN is acting as any 'Rogue Company' would act to hide an environmental crime – denying evidence of any danger, ignoring critics and Courts and going ahead with 'business as usual'. Thus, they conclude the dangers to Earth of the black hole factory are a potential environmental catastrophe, which dwarfs the problems of global warming and Nuclear Terrorism we already face. And for this reason, they 'should be addressed by politicians, not left alone to physicists' working in the Nuclear Industry, as Miss Gillmore stated in her judgment of the case (Judge Gillmore in Sancho et Al vs. Doe & CERN).

This weekend Warburton, the Wales captain, will be afforded the chance to right that wrong by leading his country to their third Grand Slam in eight years by defeating France at the Millennium Stadium.
And after recovering from a knee injury in time to make only his third start of the competition, Warburton is desperate to claim the RBS 6 Nations title in style.
"I remember watching it in '05 and '08, and as a kid that's what motivated me to play rugby," he said.
"When you watch those moments it's something you always want to take part in.
"Every time I trained when I was a teenager you want to play in games like this, so that's why I feel so lucky and privileged to be here.
"I can't wait for the game on the weekend, it's going to be the biggest game of my career and I can't wait for it, it can't come soon enough.
"People will be saying it's a revenge match but we have too many things to worry about other than a red card.
"The motivation for us will purely be to win the Grand Slam. If you try to make it personal then that's when you can start making mistakes."
Warburton's return means Justin Tipuric drops out of the Wales squad while on the bench Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams has returned from the thigh injury which kept him out last weekend and replaces Rhys Webb.
Julien Bonnaire and William Servat make their final international appearances for France with David Attoub making his first international start in place of injured tighthead Nicola Mas.
Florian Fritz is handed his first start in nearly two years in the centre, with Wesley Fofana moving to the wing in the absence of Vincent Clerc and Dimitri Yachvili returning at scrum-half
On the other wing Toulon's Alexis Palisson will make his first appearance for France since the World Cup final as he replaces Julien Malzieu while Clermont back three player Jean-Marcellin Buttin could also make his French debut in Cardiff after being named on the bench.
"We no longer have anything to win, but we have the honour of the jersey and the pride of the France team," said Yachvili .
"When we come together as the France team, it's to win matches so the motivation is always there.
"Even if there's no longer any chance of winning the Six Nations, we must carry on and honour it as best we can in the magnificent Millennium Stadium. It's a temple for every rugby player.
"That semifinal is in the past. It's another thing for us. It always brews up a storm with the Welsh. It doesn't pose us any problems if they're seeking revenge: we're ready for a scrap."

I've been making this shortbread for over twenty years, ever since my husband came home with it written on a tiny scrap of paper. He had a co-worker from Scotland who had brought a treat to work; after one bite he knew that I'd have to have the recipe. It's super simple to make and I often just pat the dough in a round cake pan, bake it and cut it into wedges while it's still warm.
Since we're coming up on Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something a bit more special so I rolled the dough, cut it out in heart shapes and then dipped the cookies in a glaze-type frosting. I'm definitely not a fancy-schmancy cookie decorator, but this was fun and easy and they turned out quite festive. Share your affection for family and friends this month by whipping up a batch of these Valentine Shortbread Cookies - they'll definitely feel well-loved!
3/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Cream butter, shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add flour and vanilla; mix until well blended. Gather dough into a ball and place in plastic wrap. Flatten slightly to form a disc (this will make rolling out the dough much easier later) and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Don't roll these too thin or they will be difficult to handle and to frost with the glaze. Cut out desired shapes and place on ungreased sheet pan, on silpat or on sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake at 350˚ F. for 12 to 16 minutes or until pale golden. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack.
4. Gather scraps of dough into ball, reroll and proceed with cutting and baking. Store in airtight container or freeze.
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk or half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
food coloring, if desired
colored sprinkles, if desired
Combine glaze ingredients in a medium bowl, and whisk until smooth. Add food coloring, if desired one drop at a time and mix well to combine after each drop, adding more until desired color is achieved. Dip top side of each shortbread into icing then use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread glaze over cookies. Decorate with colored sprinkles, if desired. Set glazed cookies back on wire racks and let set, for several hours. Once completely dry, store in an airtight container.

Ohio plans to treat all 13,000 acres of the state's largest inland lake with a chemical to try heading off the toxic algae blooms that become a perennial problem.
Multiple news outlets report that the state's Environmental Protection Agency is trying to pull together $5 million to spread aluminum sulfate, or alum, over Grand Lake St. Mary's in western Ohio.
Officials said in the fall that a test last year over part of the lake was more successful than expected and killed 56 percent of phosphorous in the treated area.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Energy Department says it will reduce its estimate of undiscovered natural gas in New York, Pennsylvania and other states following a new report by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS report, released Tuesday, estimates that the Marcellus Shale region contains some 84 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, recoverable natural gas. That is far more than geologists had thought nearly a decade ago, but far below a recent projection by the Energy Department.
Human beings put a lot of stress on the natural world. Our environment is adversely impacted by the pollution that we create and the animal and plant species that we have pushed to the brink of extinction.
Fortunately there are still occasions to celebrate good news about our natural world. A new book, "The Death and Life of Monterey Bay: A Story of Revival," is the story of how a pristine wonder of nature, Monterey Bay, California, was practically ruined by over-fishing and pollution and how that degradation has slowly been reversed,

Israeli flag-carrier has now ordered a total of eight Next-Generation 737-900ERs
TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and EL AL Israel Airlines have finalized an order for two additional Next-Generation 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplanes. The order comes just two weeks after the Israeli flag-carrier took delivery of its first 737-900ER. This order brings the total number of 737-900ERs ordered by EL AL to eight.
"This decision by EL AL to purchase two more 737-900ER aircraft demonstrates our good relationship with Boeing," said Elyezer Shkedy, president and chief executive officer of EL AL Israel Airlines. "We are committed to provide our passengers on our medium and short-haul routes with the highest quality product and service, allowing EL AL to continue to be the first choice now and in the future."
The order was finalized at a special event hosted by EL AL at the carrier's base at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport to celebrate the recent arrival of EL AL's first 737-900ER. The Boeing 737-900ER has the highest capacity and lowest seat-mile cost of Boeing's single-aisle family and will perfectly complement EL AL's existing fleet of Next-Generation 737-700s and 737-800s.
EL AL's 737-900ERs will also feature the innovative Boeing Sky Interior, enabling the airline to differentiate itself from its competitors by offering passengers a more comfortable travel experience. The 737 Boeing Sky Interior features modern sculpted sidewalls and window reveals, LED lighting to enhance the sense of spaciousness and larger pivoting overhead stowage bins.
"We delivered EL AL's first 737-900ER earlier this month and are confident it will fit seamlessly into its short and medium-haul fleet, providing greater flexibility for the carrier's operations across Europe," said Todd Nelp, vice president of Sales for Europe, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This order is the latest chapter in a partnership between Boeing and EL AL that stretches back to the foundation of Israel, and it is a sense of enormous pride to the entire company that such a prestigious airline continues to operate an all-Boeing fleet."
EL AL operates an all-Boeing fleet of nearly 40 airplanes including Next-Generation 737s, 747-400s, 767s and 777s and serves more than 40 destinations worldwide from its base in Tel Aviv.

Bed Jackets - Always in Fashion
My sister is in the hospital for an extended stay because of a number of infections raging in her body; but she has an awesome spirit. The medical personnel love her for her sweet manner. Anyway, she said she wished they still made bed jackets. She didn't need to say anything more, I immediately went on an online search and happily found that your company had exactly what I was looking for. She's in the next state over; so it's not convenient for me to visit her; but I really want to make her hospital stay as pleasant as possible. Guess what? She was so happy with the jacket and totally surprised when she received it. Thanks so very much.

Wonderful vintage-like softness!
I purchased this bedjacket as a Christmas present for my mom. After seeing the floral pattern and how soft and thick it was, I wanted one for myself. The quilted fabric just enhances the feel. Old fashioned cozy.

Loved the quilted flannel - not easy to find.
Like the quality, but runs large. Had to return, but reordered in smaller size.

VANCOUVER — A promising start to Edmonton's second-last game of the Canadian Football League season was squashed by the realities of being the Eskimos.
Quarterback Mike Reilly threw for 162 of his 321 passing yards in the first quarter of Friday's game against the B.C. Lions and slotback Adarius Bowman had 155 receiving yards by the half and a 199-yard, two-touchdown performance overall.
It was all for naught, however, as the Eskimos were outscored 35-3 over a large chunk of the game en route to a 43-29 loss in front of 24,545 fans at BC Place.
The loss drops the Eskimos' record to 3-14 and ties the 1963 team for most losses in franchise history.
The Eskimos are also 0-9 against West Division rivals this year. They're in Regina next Saturday to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders in their regular-season finale.
Edmonton played without slotback Fred Stamps and linebacker J.C. Sherritt, who were added to the nine-game injured list on Thursday.
The Eskimos' undoing was a familiar one. Lions running back Stefan Logan ran for 121 yards and a touchdown and quarterback Buck Pierce shook off the rust and came in from the sidelines to lead the Lions (10-7) out of a three-game slide. He completed 11 of 14 passes for 141 yards and three touchdowns.
Reilly opened the game with fireworks, when he took the first snap and hit Bowman for a 71-yard pass-and-run touchdown. Hugh O'Neill — back in the lineup after sitting out the last two games — kicked the convert 48 seconds into play.
"You start with a touchdown like that, you can't start any better than that," Reilly said. "It was a great play call; it was a great design. I thought we played pretty well in the first half.
"It could have been a really big night … but there's plays where you have to give them credit. They started to bring more pressure with their defence and they did a good job when they couldn't get pressure and they knew it.
"They just hovered at the line and batted the ball down, which a lot of times we had guys open, but they did a good job of knocking the ball down and that stalled a few drives."
A 23-yard field goal from O'Neill made the score 10-0 at 7:18, after a drive during which Bowman went over the 100-yard mark.
B.C. kicker Paul McCallum's punt single gave the Lions their first point and his conceded safety gave Edmonton a 12-1 lead in the second quarter.
With Pierce replacing Thomas DeMarco, who struggled through the first quarter, the Lions were building toward a turning point. Edmonton-bred former Eskimo safety J.R. LaRose gave his team that.
LaRose caught a ball that bounced off of Bowman's hands for the first interception of his 108-game CFL career. Pierce promptly handed the ball to Logan and 54 yards later (with the help of a big Pierce block) the Lions were back in the game with their moody crowd now behind them.
After O'Neill's second field goal of the game, the Lions began to take over the game. Their defence slowed Reilly while Pierce went to work with a throwback performance reminiscent of his healthy days as a Winnipeg Blue Bomber over the past three seasons.
The Lions turned a 15-15 halftime tie into 29-15 lead after three quarters, and then 36-15 in the fourth quarter before the Eskimos finally scored again.
Slotback Emmanuel Arceneaux had three catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, all in the second half. Pierce rushed for only 18 yards, but scored a touchdown from two yards out. Tailback Andrew Harris had 11 carries for 76 yards.
Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed said that the good start wasn't enough, with the team plagued by stagnant third quarters all season.
"It's not only the start," Reed said. "It's the consistency thereafter. It's about being able to put together first downs. It's about being able to establish yourself defensively. It's all those little things special teams-wise. Don't give up the big return to allow them big momentum shifts. That didn't allow us to be able to maintain what we started in the first quarter."
It was a bittersweet night for Bowman, who flirted with a career showing. He had 226 yards in a win against Saskatchewan on Nov. 4, 2011. He filled in well for Stamps, whose season is complete now, currently as the league's leading receiver.
"A win would have made it a bit more exciting to talk about," he said. "I just felt like (Stamps) was missing, so to me it was an opportunity to step up. I think everyone on the team felt like that.
"That's our leader. He steps out so we have to step in."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Opaque ruby. A complex, heady bouquet displays red- and blackcurrant, pipe tobacco, cigar box and rose oil, with suave spiciness gaining strength in the glass. Sappy and sweet, with mineral-laced red and dark berry preserve and cherry-vanilla flavors complemented by smoke and floral pastille..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Vivid ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of candied flowers, raspberry and Asian spices, with a deeper cola nuance emerging with air. Lively and precise on the palate, offering sappy red fruit flavors of uncommon depth. Rich but lithe and focused, with excellent finishing clarity and lingering
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, rich, expansive wine. Layers of blue and black fruit, spices and flowers flow gracefully from this textured, inviting Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 possesses an inner glow and warmth that is immensely appealing. An elegant, finessed finish rounds things out..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good medium-dark red. Very ripe aroma of strawberry liqueur. Intensely flavored and gripping; broad without coming across as heavy. Wild berry and smoke flavors are accented by a peppery element. Finishes subtle and long, with substantial fine, dusty tannins."

Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Continuum comes across as much more understated next to the 2008. It has plenty of silkiness and finesse, but less of the size and shape of its older sibling. Dark cherries, espresso, exotic spices and licorice are woven together in a fabric of notable elegance and harmony. The 2009..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Sorella, from the tenderloin portion of the Champoux Vineyard, is a more brooding, dense, and masculine version with layers of rich fruit, a mouth-coating palate feel, and exceptional length ..." (Jay Miller)

European honour is "awesome" says Robins owner Dipre
12:41pm Monday 2nd September 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Carshalton Athletic owner Paul Dipre praised everyone associated with the club after picking up the silver medal in the 2013 UEFA best grassroots club in Europe competition.
Dipre collected the honour last month on the same night that England hosted Scotland at Wembley as part of the Football Association's 150-year anniversary celebrations.
Last year, the Robins were named FA national community club of the year, the Surrey FA community club of the year and the south-east regional community club of the year.
It was as a result of winning the national prize that the Robins were nominated for the European prize.
Dipre said: "Its a great testament to the best club volunteers, staff and fans a club could ever wish for.
"So many have played a part in our development over the past five years and I am so pleased that their work has been recognised at a European level. It is awesome."
They were beaten into second place by a quartet of Dutch clubs - SV Wilp, SC Klarenbeek, SC Cupa and VV Voorst - who adopted a multi-club approach, putting aside local rivalries to ensure the provision of football for women and girls in their home region, and providing a best practice example for the rest of the country.
Honoured: Paul Dipre, right, collects the UEFA award
