A handful of curious Brits become fish out of water when they get mixed up in the dream project of an eccentric sheikh in this satirical comedy. Emily Blunt is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot, a British businesswoman who manages the financial affairs of a wealthy but eccentric Arab named Sheikh Muhammed (Amr Waked). Muhammed's latest proposition involves paying fifty million pounds to fully stock a Yemeni river with salmon, and thus engender sport fishing in the desert region. To better gauge the feasibility of this wild plan, Harriet contacts
Dr. Alfred "Fred" Jones (Ewan McGregor), a Scottish scientist who specializes in establishing fisheries. Jones shoots the plan down instantly, but soon Patricia Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas), the press secretary to the British prime minister, catches wind of it and sees it as the ideal way to promote better international relations between England and the Middle East, especially in light of the torrent of bad news concerning terrorism and general unrest in the Arabic countries. She does everything she can to turn Jones around. Though the scientist will have no part of it at first, he's threatened with job termination if he refuses, and then sets out to create a fully stocked lake in the middle of the desert. As Jones takes on a project that ranks somewhere between ridiculous and impossible, he also finds he's falling in love with Chetwode-Talbot, though the fact that he's married and she has a boyfriend (Tom Mison) fighting in the Middle East makes things sticky. Based on the best-selling novel by Paul Torday, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A nomadic 16th century warrior, condemned to hell for his brutal past, seeks redemption by renouncing violence, but finds some things are worth burning for as he fights to free a young Puritan woman from the grip of evil. Adapted from the pulpy sword-and-sorcery stories by Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard, the film opens to find Solomon Kane (James Purefoy) and his ruthless band of marauders laying siege to a city in Northern Africa. Beckoned to an enigmatic castle filled with untold riches, Kane soon realizes that his greed has sealed his fate when the Devil's minions decimate his ranks, leaving him alone to battle the infernal Reaper (Ian Whyte) that has come to claim his tainted soul. But Kane cheats death, and upon escaping, learns that his only hope to avoid being cast into the lake of fire is to walk the path of peace. Meanwhile, as Kane makes his way across England, the sinister Overlord (Samuel Roukin) uses his ruthless Raiders to seize control of the country, killing for pleasure and striking terror into the hearts of peaceful Puritans like the Crowthorns -- who generously offered Kane food and shelter on his arduous journey. When the Crowthorns are brutally laid to waste by the Raiders, who subsequently kidnap and enslave their innocent daughter Meredith (Rachel Hurd-Wood), Kane vows to rescue her and prevent England from being consumed by evil, even if it means confronting his family's dark past and sacrificing his immortal soul in the process. Pete Postlethwaite and Max von Sydow co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Set in the present day, director Terry Gilliam's fantastical morality tale follows the traveling show of the mysterious Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) -- a man who once won a bet with the Devil himself, and possesses the unique ability to guide the imagination of others. Many centuries ago, Dr. Parnassus won immortality in a bet that found the malevolent Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) coming up short. While few would be foolish enough to try their luck against the powers of darkness a second time, Dr. Parnassus did precisely that -- this time trading his mortality for youth on the understanding that his firstborn would become the property of Mr. Nick when the child reaches his or her 16th birthday.
Flash-forward to the present day, and Dr. Parnassus' daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole), is about to celebrate her sweet sixteen. Dr. Parnassus is desperate to save his little girl from her fiery fate, so when Mr. Nick arrives to collect, he senses the good doctor's malaise and cooks up a wager too enticing to refuse: Dr. Parnassus and Mr. Nick will each compete to seduce five souls, with possession of Valentina going to whoever manages to complete the task first. As the competition begins to heat up, a mysterious man named Tony (Heath Ledger) appears. Could Tony be the one man capable of helping Dr. Parnassus win the competition and save Valentina? While the sudden death of prominent Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus player Heath Ledger in January of 2008 left Gilliam and company scrambling to find a means of salvaging the film -- which was already well into principal photography at the time -- the cavalry soon arrived in the form of Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, who each serve as alternate-dimension versions of Tony when the character crosses through a paranormal mirror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A mother and daughter flee to a strange abandoned town to seek out answers to the daughter's nightly psychological turmoil in Brotherhood of the Wolf director Christophe Gans' adaptation of the popular survival horror video game. Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) is a very sick child, yet rather than seeing her child suffer the cruel indignities of the medical profession, Rose (Radha Mitchell) ignores her husband's (Sean Bean) pleas and absconds with her ailing daughter to the fog-enshrouded town of Silent Hill. A town drenched in darkness and inhabited by a strange collection of menacing specters, Silent Hill seemingly swallows young Sharon whole upon arrival. Determined to get her daughter back at any cost, Rose sets out to explore the mysterious Silent Hill, only to discover an evil so powerful that it possesses the ability to transform anything it wishes. With the deeply disturbing history of the town slowly coming into focus through the dense fog, Rose soon realizes that both she and her daughter may be little more than simple pawns in a much larger, and seemingly supernatural, game. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director Brian De Palma returns to the helm for the first time since 2002's Femme Fatale with this stylish screen adaptation of James Ellroy's novel detailing one of the most notorious unsolved murders in Hollywood history.

Unfortunately for Elizabeth, it was her grim fate that would ultimately overshadow anything she would accomplish during her short and tragic career. When police discover Elizabeth's body cut clean in half and with all of her organs missing, ex-pugilist detectives Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett) are the men charged with cracking the case and apprehending the killer. This isn't your average murder case, however, and as Blanchard's marriage to Kay (Scarlett Johansson) begins to suffer due to his obsession with the sensational crime, his partner Bleichert discovers a troubling link between the victim and the mysterious Madeleine Linscott (Hilary Swank), a prominent socialite and the daughter of one of the town's most connected key players. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

George Clooney pays homage to one of the icons of American broadcast journalism, Edward R. Murrow, in this fact-based drama, which was Clooney's second feature film as a director. In 1953, Edward R. Murrow (played by David Strathairn) was one of the best-known newsmen on television as host of both the talk show Person to Person and the pioneering investigate series See It Now. Joseph McCarthy, a U.S. senator from Wisconsin, was generating no small amount of controversy in the public and private sectors with his allegations that Communists had risen to positions of power and influence in America, and an Air Force pilot, Milo Radulovich, had been drummed out of the service due to McCarthy's charges that he was a Communist agent. However, Radulovich had been dismissed without a formal hearing of the charges, and he protested that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Murrow decided to do a story on Radulovich's case questioning the legitimacy of his dismissal, which was seen by McCarthy and his supporters as an open challenge to his campaign. McCarthy responded by accusing Murrow of being a Communist, leading to a legendary installment of See It Now in which both Murrow and McCarthy presented their sides of the story, which was seen by many as the first step toward McCarthy's downfall. Meanwhile, Murrow had to deal with CBS head William Paley (Frank Langella), who was supportive of Murrow but extremely wary of his controversial positions, while Murrow was also trying to support fellow newsman Don Hollenbeck (Ray Wise), battling charges against his own political views, and working alongside Fred Friendly (George Clooney), the daring head of CBS News. Good Night, and Good Luck also stars Jeff Daniels, Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Clarkson, and Robert John Burke; the film won Best Film honors after its world premiere at the 2005 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A lonely taxidermist with a photographic memory dreams of committing the "perfect crime" in Nine Queens director Fabián Bielinsky's deliberately paced existential thriller. Espinosa (Ricardo Darín) is an epileptic fortysomething who makes his living by stuffing creatures for the natural history museum in Buenos Aires. It is there that Espinosa meets friend and fellow taxidermist Sontag (Alejandro Awada). After picking up their paycheck at a nearby bank, Sontag kindly invites the lonely Espinosa to join him in the forests of southern Argentina for a brief hunting getaway. Soon after checking into their hotel, Sontag and Espinosa take to nature in hopes of bagging a buck, but their voyage takes a dark turn when, in the grip of another seizure, Espinosa accidentally shoots and kills hotel owner Dietrich (Manuel Rodal). Though his suspicions that Dietrich was involved with some shady dealings seem little more than a means for justifying the tragic turn of events, Espinosa soon realizes that he may be onto something when a pair of thugs named Sosa (Pablo Cedron) and Montero (Walter Reyno) come searching for the missing proprietor. As all of the elements quickly fall into place, it begins to appear as if Espinosa may finally be prepared to execute the crime he has always dreamt about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Everyone's favorite collie returns to the screen -- and to her native home back in Britain -- in director Charles Sturridge's faithful adaptation of author Eric Knight's sentimental kid and canine novel Lassie Come Home. When Lassie saves a fox from the hunting hounds of the duke of Rudling (Peter O'Toole), the captivated nobleman becomes obsessed with the idea of purchasing the collie for his adoring granddaughter Cilla (Hester Odgers). Unfortunately for Rudling, the pooch already has a loving family in the form of kindly miner Sam Carraclough (John Lynch), his wife, Sarah (Samantha Morton), and their young son, Joe (Jonathan Mason). When Sam is laid off from his job, however, he is forced to sell the loyal dog to the duke in order to put food on the family table. Incensed at the dog's repeated attempts to escape and seek out her original loving family, the villainous duke charges kennel-keeper Eddie Hynes (Steve Pemberton) with the task of teaching Lassie how to stay as World War II looms ever more heavy on the horizon. When the dogs of war finally stop barking and start biting, Rudling beats a hasty retreat to the safety of northern Scotland with both the child and the canine. Realizing that her newfound companion is far from the people she cares about most, Cilla later helps her ever-loyal four-legged friend escape from the family's heavily fortified compound so that she may begin the 500-mile journey back home to Yorkshire. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The (mostly) true story of a Hollywood princess turned bounty hunter is told in this witty action-drama from director Tony Scott. Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was the daughter of famed actor Laurence Harvey (played by Jesse Pate) who passed on when Domino was only eight years old. Domino's mother, former fashion model Paulene Stone (played by Jacqueline Bisset and renamed (%Sophie Wynn) in the film), strove to give her daughter a comfortable life, but Domino was naturally rebellious, and after a contentious stint in boarding school, a brief career as a runway model, and a fling with the fashion business, Domino was looking for something more exciting. She found it when he met Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), an ex-con who had gone on to a successful career as a "bail recovery agent" -- in short, a bounty hunter. Ed also taught others how to join his profession, and Domino took his course and joined his team, along with Choco (Edgar Ramirez), a headstrong bail agent who took an immediate fancy to Domino. Domino, Ed, and Choco became a successful team -- successful enough that television producer Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) asked them to become the subject of a television reality series. However, it was after the cameras were turned on Domino that her life got truly crazy. Bail bondsman Claremont Williams III (Delroy Lindo) had hired Domino and her friends for a risky case, and soon Domino, Ed, and Choco were chasing missing men and money while landing in hot water with both the FBI and the Mafia. Domino was loosely based on Domino Harvey's real life story; sadly her personal life was as reckless as her career, and Domino died as a result of drug abuse on June 27, 2005, after this film was completed. The film also features Lucy Liu, Mena Suvari, Macy Gray, and Dabney Coleman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Thornton Wilder's award-winning novel is given a lavish screen adaptation in this historical drama from writer and director Mary McGuckian. In Peru in 1714, a rickety bridge collapsed as five people were attempting to cross, forcing them to plunge to their deaths. Brother Fray Juniper (Gabriel Byrne) is a Franciscan monk who has been given the duty of looking into the tragedy by the archbishop of Lima (Robert De Niro), and to learn what he can about the victims. It is Juniper's belief that these particular people died for some reason, and that it is his duty to determine why God chose these five people to perish, while others in the vicinity survived. After five years, Juniper delivers his findings to the archbishop as well as the viceroy of Peru (F. Murray Abraham), as Juniper tells them of the lives of the troubled Dona Maria (Kathy Bates), the nun Pepita (Adriana Dominguez), warm-hearted Uncle Pio (Harvey Keitel), street kid-turned-actress La Perichola (Pilar Lopez de Ayala), and others involved in the tragedy. The Bridge of San Luis Rey also features Geraldine Chaplin, John Lynch, and brothers Mark Polish and Michael Polish. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Five brothers and sisters find their uncle has a big surprise hidden in his estate in this comic fantasy for the whole family. Not long after World War I breaks out, five children -- Cyril (Jonathan Bailey), Robert (Freddie Highmore), Anthea (Jessica Claridge), Jane (Poppy Rogers), and Lamb -- find themselves in dangerous circumstances when their father is sent off to fight, and their mother volunteers to be a field nurse. Unable to care for themselves, the children are sent to the country, where they stay with their eccentric uncle Albert (Kenneth Branagh) and his ill-tempered son, Horace (Alexander Pownall), in Albert's ramshackle home. Uncle Albert has more than a few rules about what the children can and cannot do, but his strictest edict is that the children must never go into his greenhouse. Of course, the children's curiosity gets the better of them, and they sneak in to discover their uncle's big secret -- the building is home to Psammead (voice of Eddie Izzard), an ugly and often bad-mannered "sand fairy" who has the ability to grant wishes. However, the kids discover that Psammead's wishes only last for 24 hours, and that they have a strange habit of backfiring on their beneficiaries. 5 Children & It was based on the classic book for children by E. Nesbit; Psammead was realized onscreen with a puppet created by Jim Henson's celebrated Creature Shop. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
When I was growing up, boxers were the cool thing to wear. Not even the nerds would be caught dead in briefs in gym class. And when you played sports you would wear compression shorts with built in jock support. After high school I discovered that boxers really weren't that cool and that boxer briefs offered much more support without feeling like I was walking around in a speedo. Since switching to boxer briefs I have been searching for the perfect pair. Most are too tight in the thighs without offering any real support in the crotch, and the materials are heavy and create an uncomfortably hot situation. When I got a pair of these in my Birchbox, my whole life changed. These boxer briefs are super soft and are made of a lightweight stretchy material that is cool and supportive without being restrictive. The best part is the front pouch that cradles you like a silky smooth jock strap. I would recommend sizing up if you fall in the border of 2 size options.
My husband loves these boxer briefs. They came in his birchbox and are now his favorite underwear. They are very soft and comfortable and look great too!
I now have four pair -- enough said! I'm female, sleep and hang out in them!!!! I can't say enough great things -- soft, comfy, don't ride up .. You forget you have them on!
I bought these for my husband because I was sick of his boring athletic underwear. He says these are just as comfortable, although he doesn't have a preference for one over the other. Well, I like these better (especially the gingham), so I think that is enough to make these a win.
There's no slit in the front! Some may find that important. Great fit. Soft and they wash up great. Awesome colors too. Can get a monthly pair shipped also!
I don't have much to say. They fit great, they look good, my lady friend likes them.
They're also pretty tough. Occasionally my dogs will get into the hamper and chew on stuff. My socks always get destroyed. These seem to stand up to the dog attacks.
I love the color and pattern of these. The fabric is also extremely soft. My only wish is that they had the front flap.
When you wear these, you will not go back to your old boxers. Very comfortable and great feel. Will purchase more
I ordered this product again because I really love the product
very comfy and sexy. I love the colors too =)
was pretty satisfied when i got these in the birchbox...minus 1 star for no trap door. this would hold me back from purchasing any.

A Champ, some FP helis and plenty of Phoenix sim time - will also be getting a FZ Albatros in the air soon (probably before the Mossie given UK release times). I can certainly bring anything back unharmed in the sim provided I don't get too wild.
Please don't tell me I'm not good enough to fly the Mossie! |

I would have thought the best way to handle the reversed prop would be to use the same motor turned backwards (output gear facing the rear), with the large prop shaft gear on the rear end of the prop shaft and the prop on the front. Propshaft and gearbox would be different, but motor and gears could be exactly the same. Gearbox would be longer to avoid a really long unsupported section of propshaft.
Unless there's really no issue with running one of these motors backwards. I assume the one propshaft has reverse threads. Dave |

If they are the same motor why do they sell them in packs of two? If they are the same just reverse polarised at the ESC pins then there's no need for packs of two. Anyone opened one up yet? |

Decided to place my order today. I wasn't planning on spending any money until next week, but I figured hell if I buy it now at least I'll be able to fly it next Sunday if the weather permits. Very excited to see how this flies!
With only one battery, I hope the 160mahs will make her fly as well. |

Well, wires for the motors are in plain view, between the fuselage and the nacelles, so the first one who get a Mossie has to tell us the color of the motor wires. If they are different color (black and white on one side and something else on the other side) then they are different motors. If on the final products, the wires going from the Rx to the motors are both black and white, then, it's more likely the same motor.
So, the wait begin... |

text: School had ended not long ago, letting it's students go home once again. Lillian sighed, her brown hair swaying around her shoulders as she walked to work. Brown eyes glanced over at her best friend while the girl shoved a chunk of chocolate past her lips. The sweet treat was gone in a matter of seconds, another being plucked from the bag of M&M's in Lillian's hands. She smiled faintly, happy to have remembered to pack a snack today seeing as she had a late shift in a nearby Doll Shop. The place was nice, a little creepy at first with all the dolls blank eyes watching your every move but that was easy to get over. It paid well too, plus the place only stayed open till 7 on school night's so it worked well with the girl's schedule. Today though was a Friday, meaning she'd be there until at least eleven tonight and maybe later depending on how long it took her to sweep and help the old lady who owned the place lock up. "So do you want an M&M?" She asks Jules, breaking the silence.

An African Sulcata tortoise was brought to the Tracy Animal Shelter after it was found wandering on Clarence Bromell Street on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
Animal shelter supervisor Ben Miller said the tortoise appears to be in good health, weighing in at around 25 pounds and is 12 ½ inches long.
Miller said the tortoise is most likely a pet that wandered away, or it could have dug underneath an outdoor fence.
The shelter staff has been caring for the tortoise, which they have named Flo, who has steadily munched lettuce and strawberries.
If the owner of the tortoise is not found, it will become available for adoption Sunday, Aug. 26, after the required five-day waiting period
Miller said the shelter usually sees a tortoise or two come through the shelter each year.

This is just great! Old days are coming back Games just cannot handle this much power, even AAA games. As for Geforce Titan, I think it is just a counter part of Nvidia for the 7970 Ghz edition
After they lost so many engineers, I am not surprised. The only people AMD needs to get rid of is its useless management team.
smart move IMO. instead of wasting money on developing newer tech to compete each year, they are spending it on a longer term project. hopefully this will pay off and will yeild good results. also they are saving money by not making newer fabrication methods. only risk is will their pupolarity be tarnished when nvidia releases new GPUs this year? i know there are a lot of people who will say "look at AMD, they are crappy, so they didnt release new gpus this year. nvidia FTW," bla bla. i guess certain risks have to be taken.
Since the Tesla cards have been out for some time, I wouldn't exactly call this Titan a new card. It's a new SKU, but the card already exists, the GPU already exists, and systems built with it are available right now. Just not in Geforce clothing. IF anyone is shocked that Titan is coming, they've not been paying much attention. The Telsa K20X has 2688 shaders and 384-bit memory. GTX680 has 1536 and 256-bit. GTX690 is 3072 shaders and 256-bit. I find it hard to grasp how less shaders than GTX690 is going to be so much faster than GTX690, as rumoured. The $899 pricing, now, that makes a lot of sense, based on shader count. With that said, I see no reason for AMD to launch anything any time soon. I suspect they may ALSO have a larger GPU they can launch on 28nm, if needed, but building cards for that price point, well, is not were the real money is. I hope to see HD 7950 drop to $229. 7970 to $279, and 7970 GHz @ $329. IF this happens, AMD will be quite well off, and this would match what they are doing with Piledriver right now. I don't expect real new GPUs until just before, or just after new consoles launch.
no amd has no card to counter the titan but this is the thing they might not need to counter it directly power for power like they did with the 7970, as games are optimized for the amd only consoles as a side effect games will simply be optimized moreso for amd gpu's then nvidia's I beleive and nvidia is preparing for this with larger gpu's. If I were a developer having to develop for a PS4, 720, WiiU and PC and I could optimize all 4 platforms to on AMD's gpu platform since they are similar, I'm going to optimize all 4 for AMD and not nvidia and thats just how it goes. I hope AMD can pull some resources away from the their gpu development and put some towards their cpu's.
This isn't really a surprise when the most popular PC games by far can now be fan just fine with newer integrated graphics, or discrete cards that are 4+ years old.
So many sad empty people fighting over which graphics card is best. The 7970 basic version is slower than the GTX680. However the clocks are so differentiated it hurts. Nvidia (in the past few years) has always released gfx cards clocked slower than ATI. But due to their monolithic die size and transistor counts, tended to perform quite a bit better than ATI. This time AMD released the 7970 with clocks that were far too conservative. Nvidia (more than likely) made great use of their usual, late to the table, card by tweaking the clocks skyward. Why else are they voltage locked? Adaptive V-sync and the massive clocks are more than likely reaching their boards power limits. AMD react with their GHz edition cards (lame quite frankly). Now the 7970 clocked at the boost speeds of the 680 does tend to win on most occasions. But on Nvidia's side is a 'generally' better driver team. If AMD piled their resources into driver development and created better gaming development strategies (like Nvidia does) you;d probably see the 7970 cards humping all over the 680. The 7970 is a much more powerful card than the 680 but it is far less refined. For a change Nvidia have the sleek purring kitten and AMD has the brute growler. A card is only as good as it's hardware AND software and AMD have the hardware battle won for now but not the software one. However, if the GTX Titan is not a myth then it will more than likely piss over the 7970. But, given the rumours it will only be for show. It will be like the Ares 2 7970 card. Also, to add to what many sensible people have said, there is no need for new gfx cards this year. The 680 and the 7970 are excellent cards. Driver tweaking will keep them well up to speed with all the new games. It is a sign of confidence to not rush out a new product - not weakness. And the Titan is simply a technology argument from Nvidia (probably a very bloody good one too). Both AMD and Nvidia have done enough with graphics recently. They need to sit back and work on other areas now, software, mobile, coding assistance. I'd much rather keep a card that can work on new games because they're coded better than have to buy new cards because of substandard coding. I find playing BF3 at 2560x1440 with ALL FX maxed out with 80-100+ fps is more than enough on two 7970's. Why the hell do i want more powerful cards? Though I might downgrade to Titan......
I'd really like to see some new launches in 2013. If not faster, at least more power efficient. There is always room for improvement there. I'm on a previous generation GPU. I'm not too enthusiastic to upgrade for the sake of 10-30% GPU horsepower. But if that was combined with an additional 10-30% improved power efficiency, then I would have reason to upgrade.
Yeah, Project Win (Dead) is rolling. Meanwhile in real world. http://fudzilla.net/home/item/30412-amd-spent-up-to-$4-million-on-far-cry-3-bundle
GK110 was the card I wanted early last year when it was supposed to be the GTX 680, but then Nvidia royally screwed the pooch on that one and I have no interest in a $900 version of that chip unless it manages to at least match my 7970 CF performance.
AMD has to sell what they have now and I guess they have a pretty hard time since they cut prices on their cards countless times and are now at the second games bundle offer. On the other hand the market doesn't quite need new cards to flood the market. If people have a PC in the house then it's good enough, they'll buy a mobile piece of hardware next. Even Microsoft is trying desperately to move away from the desktop so what can we expect?
If it matches 7970 CF performance I will be impressed and may grab one, but I highly doubt it comes close to that, especially since 7970 drivers are really hitting their climax in the coming months.
I agree, but if by chance it can give me the same performance I'm already getting, with a single GPU, I'll be selling my 7970s and getting one
Im betting on at least same performance, if not slightly better than the 690. If we multiply 3072 shaders by 80%, which is a generous figure for SLI scaling IMO, that's the equivalent of less than 2500 shaders. And that's without knowing if GK110's shaders might have higher IPC compared to GK104's.
That is not an unknown. Telsa cards tell the full story about the Titan card. There's no mystery at all with this chip. And rumours and such are just traffic generators. Like I hate to be a realist here, but really, there's no reason for any of the mystery here. NONE. the only mystery is final clockspeeds.
There is some mystery as to how exactly it's going to perform in games, but overall I agree with you. I do think there's good reason to believe the "85% of 690 performance" rumors.
You can also say GK110 didnt sell that well and Nvidia has to offload inventory so selling them in GeForce variants is a way to recoupe that R&D money. They also have a Quaterly report coming on the Feb 13, Since SEC 2013 didnt workout to well for them its time for the hype machine to drum up investor interest. I suspect the HYPE will continue all the way to there GPU Tech Conf. on March 13-18.
85% performance of a GTX690. The most reasonable high expectation. Fantastic performance nonetheless. Price is a different discussion but I guess they can ask whatever they want since the only card to compare to is also Nvidia and it's a 1000$ card.
I agree, and the pricing rumoured reflects this as well. It's a very simple that they have been binning chips for these cards for months now, and the rest probably went into the Tesla cards. I kind of expect a 900 or 950 MHz sort of clock, like the other Geforce cards, and then shader count answers the rest. Ram bandwidth increase could bring a decent gains a well, but since there is more shaders added, that bandwidth maybe already be utilized by those shaders. So, why would AMD release anything to counter that? They have a clear intent already of not taking performance crowns, so why would that change?
I agree. The Titan isn't set to compete with anything or to put pressure on anything. It's just going to add one more niche option to the market and assuming SLI works, will provide a KILLER setup for anyone looking to drop ~$2K on graphics cards .
If AMD isn't releasing a new card then neither will nvidia. They benefited so tremendously from being second to market that they'll want to do it again. I guess the only graphics event in 2013 will be the Titan replacing the 690. Nice not having to get new hardware every 6 months I suppose.
Seems like AMD is trying to kill Moore's law. First they slowed down CPU development with Bulldozer, now they stalling graphics cards market. Good job, AMD.
Now Nvidia should follow suit and launch 7xx next year too, overall i like the news of no new GPU's this year, except for the rumor Titan. This is a good chance for Intel to play catch up on the GPU side...
Given the recent article about AMD's possible implementation of dynamic boost, I'm going to crystal ball gaze and say that AMD will re-release (again) the HD 7000 series... BEHOLD! The HD 7970 GRIMACE (GHz Raised Incrementally- a MHz Added Collectors Edition)

Research and Publications
As a researcher, Dr. Yuker focused primarily on attitudes toward and perceptions of individuals with disabilities. As he once explained, "Attitudes toward disabled persons are complex and multifaceted. Many perspectives are possible. Data indicates that it is difficult to measure, change, and even to understand attitudes toward disabled persons. Even though these things are difficult, they must be done in order to improve the quality of life and status of persons with disabilities."
In 1956, while doing research at the Human Resources Foundation, a division of Abilities Inc., he developed a research program focusing on attitudes toward disabled persons. He developed a measure of attitudes called the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale, which became the basis for future research and publications.
The ATDP scale was first published in 1960, and an extended monograph based on the scale was published in 1966. In addition to assessing attitudes toward disabled persons, the ATDP scale was intended to be used to evaluate mainstreaming in schools and the employment of individuals with physical disabilities.
His book, Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities was published in 1988. Dr. Yuker's long list of publications includes several research monographs, journal articles, research reports, book reviews and edited books. Based on his interest in higher education, Dr. Yuker completed 40 research reports and several monographs dealing with faculty workloads and productivity.

[Bank Appraisals] Commercial Too High, Residential Too Low
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller -Wednesday, May 9, 2012, 9:52 AM
6 Comments
Julie Satow's New York Times 'Square Foot' Column Accuracy of Appraisals Is Spotty, Study Says takes a look at a study that concluded that commercial appraisals were too high when tested against what the property actually sold for. My partner John Cicero in our commercial valuation firm Miller Cicero was referenced in the piece. While he liked the article and agreed with the conclusions, he pointed out the potential flaws in the study.
Of course the report is pointing out what has been an obvious problem for at least the past decade. Banks have transitioned into the view that an appraisal report is a commodity and not a professional consultation. The irony here is the same thinking applies across both commercial and residential valuation assignments for banks but with polar opposite results.
Commercial valuations are seen as "too high" and residential valuations are seen as "too low." This probably has a lot to do with the fact that commercial real estate, especially class a office space in markets like NYC, Washington DC and San Francisco is probably in the middle of a bubble and there is clearly indirect pressure on the appraiser to make the deal work (no matter what is being said publicly).
Of course residential valuations were way too high during the housing boom so a similarity can be drawn during that period as lenders relied on mortgage brokers to deliver the majority (2/3) of loan volume by the time the market peaked.
The common thread in all this is to understand how the appraiser is engaged by the bank. In residential valuation it has morphed over to the appraisal management company process (B of A's Landsafe is the poster child for bad appraisals) and in commercial valuation it has become a robotic automated engagement process:
John Cicero, a managing principal of the appraisal firm Miller Cicero, said: "It is a broken profession in a lot of ways. The appraisal industry has become commoditized, where lenders see appraisals as simply a commodity to be purchased by a vendor and where more emphasis is placed on the price of an appraisal than the expertise of the appraiser."
For example, Mr. Cicero said, in the past lenders would often have long discussions about the project and the appraiser's qualifications before hiring. Now, it is more common for lenders to use an online bidding system, where they issue a request for proposals from appraisers and often choose the least expensive. "They actually refer to us as vendors submitting a bid, not educated professionals who are providing an important service," he said.
After a while (and it's been a while) this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and the majority of appraisers used by banks are simply bad at their craft (taking liberties here) because the system attracts that "type" appraiser. As a result many of the good appraisers have either left the business or switched their client base to those who see valuations as more than the equivalent of a "title search."
Banking's shortsightedness illustrated
When a bank is considering lending $200M on a commercial office building, they are usually are more concerned about shaving $500 off the appraisal fee than they are contracting with a seasoned local market expert. [Commercial] high-ballers with fast turn times are thriving and their product is very weak. The same goes for a residential mortgage [low-ballers] only with commercial lending, the stakes are much higher because the exposure is so much greater – then ask yourself, who is the party that lacks competency? I'd say it's systemic.

I got used to these previous readers, most of whom seemed to me percipient in their choices of passages to underscore, but then, in Lewis's chapter "Friendship," I encountered someone—a woman, I suspect—who went bonkers. Using her ballpoint pen like a dagger, she carved imprecations into the book's margins. In the few pages in which Lewis writes of the complexities of friendship between men and women, she wrote, all in capital letters, with no extra charge for the exclamation marks, "MALE CHAUVINIST!!!" On the facing page she noted "What is this bull sh—?!" And atop the following page, simply, "bull s—!" She was not very happy, either, with Lewis's connection between friendship and religion, making a looping mark around the eight or nine sentences he devotes to the connection and, going off the rails completely now, providing the not quite intelligible response, "bull suck."
It occurred to me to correct her vituperations, for the taurine droppings she refers to are spelled as one word, not two. Someone else, a cooler head with an educational impulse and working in faint pencil markings, also tried to straighten her out. "He's describing what happens—not what should be," this sensible fellow advised, and a bit later he patiently instructed, "Reread all of it!" But it's too late; she's a goner—clearly beyond all hope of education or exhortation.
The temptation to write in the margins of books is not difficult to understand. It might even be construed as a compliment to the author, suggesting that what he wrote is so provocative as to require a direct response. In this wise, marginalia could be described as the print equivalent of what in the computer age goes by the name of "interactive."
Literature's most famous marginal commentator was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Coleridge was a compulsive scribbler in the margins of books, but then he was also a compulsive talker, victim of various overmastering impulses, and the king of intellectual spillage, with endless projects abandoned, work left half-finished, genius unfulfilled. He wrote not only in books he owned but also those he borrowed from friends. De Quincey remarked that "Coleridge often spoiled a book but in the course of doing so, he enriched that book with so many and so valuable notes, tossing about him, with such lavish profusion, from such a cornucopia of discursive reading, and such a fusing intellect, commentaries so many-angled and so many-colored that I have envied many a man whose luck has placed him in the way of such injuries."
Sometimes Coleridge's marginalia were small explosions of contempt: "A very vile Poem, Mister J. Godwin, take a Brother Bard's word for it!" But more often he would inscribe little essaylets in the margins. He did this in sufficient number—8,000 or so such notes have thus far been found in more than 450 books—as to make his marginalia part of his "Collected Works." His daughter, reading some of these notes in her father's books after his death, said that nothing brought him back, nothing so much sounded like his talk, as these particular scribblings.
I was recently told by someone who acquired one of my own early books in a used-book shop that its previous owner had expressed strong disagreement with me and had no compunction about setting it out in strong language in my margins. To write, said Stendhal, is to risk being shot in public, but he never said anything about taking the shots in the margins of one's own books. Still, I am honored to join C. S. Lewis in being among the "marginalized."
Used-book shop owners usually erase all the underlining and sidelining in books. A bookseller I know once told me that the most amusing marginal note he ever erased was one that read, "C'mon, Ortega!" Why is this funny? I do not know, but I do know that you cannot say it aloud in other than a whining voice, and I recommend using it when next you stub your toe or spill hot soup on yourself. Doing so, I find, eases the pain.

News Release
UMBC Women's Basketball Announces 2012-13 Non-Conference Slate
Head Coach Phil Stern enters his 11th season with the Retrievers |
BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's basketball program solidified its non-conference schedule for the 2012-13 season, as announced by head coach Phil Stern on Monday. The slate features squads from nine different conferences, including three teams that competed in postseason tournaments last year.
"We have put together a schedule that will challenge our young ladies on several different levels, while preparing us for the rigors of the America East season," Stern said. "We will take on several teams that finished at the top of their conferences and we look forward to continuing our local rivalries."
The Retrievers' 13-game non-conference schedule – six home games and seven road contests – will commence on the road at in-state rival Morgan State on Nov. 9, before returning to the RAC for the home opener versus Monmouth (Nov. 11) – the first of five straight home contests in the month of November. UMBC hosts local foes Coppin State (Nov. 14), Loyola (Nov. 17) and Towson (Nov. 20) prior to the Thanksgiving break, before wrapping up its homestand against Eastern (Pa.) on Nov. 25.
UMBC hits the road, taking on 2012 Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) participant American (Nov. 27) on the Eagles' home court, before opening December at Princeton (Dec. 2). The Retrievers will take on their second 2012 WNIT participant within a week when they travels to VCU on Dec. 5 and two days later will return home to host 2012 NCAA Tournament squad Hampton (Dec. 7).
Following a 13-day hiatus for final exams, UMBC will meet UMES – its fifth opponent from the state of Maryland – on Dec. 21, before concluding its non-conference schedule at the St. Joseph's Tournament. The Retrievers will open against Wagner on Dec. 28 and face either Saint Joseph's or Fairfield on day two (Dec. 29).
UMBC will once against play a 16-game America East schedule, culminated by the America East Championships in Albany, N.Y.
Stern returns eight players from last year's roster, including 2012 America East Rookie of the Year Lauren Chase (Bowie, Md./Riverdale Baptist). The Retrievers wrapped up the 2011-12 campaign with a 17-15 overall mark and advanced to the title game of the America East Tournament, after posting a 9-7 record in league play.

Hailed as a city that is "Timeless with a Twist," Northville features a charming downtown historic district and lively atmosphere that puts a modern spin on traditional small-town living. Northville is a distinctive community nestled among rolling hills in beautiful countryside with a close proximity to the exciting amenities downtown. With less than 6,000 residents, the town maintains a close-knit community that can't be found in most of the other Detroit suburbs. Look for Northville apartments for rent, and find a jewel in the Midwest.
The first settlers arrived in Northville from New York state via Plymouth Township in 1825. Alanson Aldrich, Alvale Smith and John Miller are thought to be the town's first residents and built their houses around the mill that Miller established in town. A tailor, tavern, shoe shop, post office, blacksmith and doctor popped up soon after, allowing Northville to separate itself as its own entity from Plymouth Township. The town thrived during the Victorian era, when many homes downtown were built in the Queen Anne style. This architecture still stands downtown today, and local residents celebrate the heritage with a city-wide Victorian Festival every year.
In the 20th century, Northville was home to Ford machinery plants that provided valves for every Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicle until 1981. Today, Northville residents take advantage of the local opportunities in the Great Lakes region. The area is known for regional and outdoor attractions which residents take advantage of to create a high quality of life for themselves and their families.
Although there are no traditional colleges located in Northville, southeastern Michigan is home to some of the best universities in the state. Concordia University, Eastern Michigan University, Madonna University and the University of Michigan are all within 21 miles of downtown Northville and offer local students with exceptional higher education opportunities.
For those seeking work, Northville has many lucrative business opportunities. The top employers in town are Northville Public Schools, Northville Downs and Shopping Center Market, which account for many of the jobs held by the 22 percent of Northville residents who work in the education, health and social services industries. The manufacturing industry is also an important contributor to the local economy and employs 20 percent of the population. A whopping 80 percent of people here work in management, sales and office positions. Northville apartments are the perfect home base for individuals looking to take advantage of southeastern Michigan's thriving business environment.
With all of the excitement in the metro Detroit area, residents in Northville pay very reasonable rent prices. United States Census Bureau statistics show that the standard apartment here costs $738 a month, which is very consistent with the Michigan state average. Everyday living expenses are also affordable in Northville. The city received a cost of living index of 91.1, which is well below the United States average of 100.
Northville hosts many events celebrating art, culture and regional favorites. Arts and Acts is one of the premier art festivals in Michigan, and provides art enrichment and education to Northville. With live music, fine art, food, films, literature and theatre attractions, Arts and Acts has something to offer visitors of all ages. The Buy Michigan Now Festival is a weekend celebration of local Michigan products and ends the state's annual Buy Michigan Week. With sidewalk sales, street vendors and live music showcasing Michigan-based businesses, the festival continues to grow every year with new sponsors, vendors and volunteers looking to join the movement. Other local favorites include the Victorian Festival and First Friday Experience.
Northville is also home to Northville Downs, a live harness racing and casino venue that has entertained Michigan residents for more than 100 years.

#87 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011
Pale-medium gold reflections with a rich and powerfully aromatic nose of apricot, apple, peach and citrus fruits. On the palate it is full bodied, soft and well balanced with excellent acidity. It improves with age. It is ideal with hors d'oeuvres, shellfish, grilled fish dishes, buffalo mozzarella, chicken and cold meat.
"The 2009 Greco di Tufo is a vivid, multi-dimensional wine laced with white peaches, minerals, flowers and mint, all of which come together in a beautifully nuanced style. The warmth of the vintage radiates through to the long, creamy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. " 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"A beauty, focused and fresh, with lively fresh-cut honeydew melon and citrus backed by hints of hot stone and spring herbs on the long, cream-tinged finish. Drink now. Tasted wice, with consistent notes. 2,000 cases imported." 90 Points Wine Spectator
"Bright yellow-gold. Apricot, mint and white flowers on the nose; more complex and vibrant than the fiano at this stage of its development. Powerful and fairly full in the mouth, with lively suggestions of lime blossom to go along with the apricot and mineral flavors. Juicy, detailed wine with lovely lift, finishing pure, clean and long. 90(+?) points. " 90 Points International Wine Cellar

First- the good. Its heartening to see ground-up momentum for a call to action. A few weeks back I got a FB update from one of my friends on the social networking site, Onir (a filmmaker, who's made sensitive films like My Brother Nikhil in the past), about this film he was making on the story of a child abuse survivor inspired by a true story. What excited me was that Onir was using FB and other social media effectively to not just promote the film, Abhimanyu, but also raise funds for the making of the same. He has got several volunteers to support the initiative in direction, promotions (me included!) and other aspects of film making, purely by word-of-mouth. Couldnt be a better case study to demonstrate the power of social media, if it needed one anymore anyway!
I am totally in agreement that topics like child abuse must come out in the open. In India, one out of every five girls and one out of ten boys face some form of physical or psychological abuse. Sadly, most of these incidents are never reported and innocent victims are forced to suffer in silence. The brave few that do come forward are woefully underserved by a society that prefers to look away and a legal system that doesn't care.
I am enthused by the fact that this initiative will also be a slap on the face to the power-hungry producer/multiplex coterie. Bravo new cinema!! Anyone who wishes to be a part of this initiative, either in the form of monetary donation (which will get the donor suitable credits in the film) may contact me on this blog. Incidentlly, the script of Abhimanyu has been nominated in the new category of Best Educational Movie, Triangle Media Group (UK)Global Award Nominations for 2009 for its script. www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/2009/05/18/12881/index.html
The Bad (not so bad really!!)
An interesting trend I notice when I scan Twitter and Friendfeed for news and trends. Unlike TV that thrived on "sensationalizing" bad news, it was heartening to see all news- bad and ugly included getting evened out on social media sites. So my fellow communicators while breaking their heads over "exciting" headlines need to rethink their new media strategy if they have to garner attention of bloggers and master tweeters, for its not a sensational headline, but a news that is new and provocative in its content that will garner attention. Now, if only broadcast and print take the cue…
The Ugly
I learnt through a recent post on Oliver Marks' blog on ZD Net that hundreds of teens who coordinated through MySpace and Twitter got together in South Philadelphia, hijacked a taxi and created mayhem and rioting on the streets http://blogs.zdnet.com/collaboration.
The reasons were not very clear in the posts, but what's interesting to note is that the powerful collaboration that's possible today through social media can also turn ugly. Is it time for a new set of rules?

Best friends at the top of their class
Stiles and L'Heureux share award
Text and photos by Steev Riccardo
DUDLEY – Shepherd Hill seniors and best friends Emily Stiles and Johanna L'Heureux are literally at the top of their class. The two have been ranked first and second in their class all year, but neither is willing to say which of them is actually number one, instead preferring the co-billing.
This standing earned them each a share of the Dudley-Charlton Superintendent's Award, which is presented to the student(s) that not only excels in academics but is also involved in community service.
Stiles grew up in Dudley with her mother Cathy, her father Jeff, and her older sister Erin, who is currently a junior at the University of Connecticut.
Her list of credentials at Shepherd Hill includes a three-year membership in the National Honor Society, vice president of her class for four years, and four years on both the soccer and basketball teams.
Stiles said that class trips to Europe in both her sophomore and junior years were the highlights of her career at the school, along with playing sports with her friends.
"I'm anxious to get out of high school but it's kind of bittersweet to leave," said Stiles. "I am excited for college and new experiences, but I love Shepherd Hill. It will be hard to leave all my friends."
Stiles's number one choice for school is Bentley College, where she would like to major in either mathematics or statistics, but she is still uncertain as to what field she wants to enter after school.
As far as being selected as a co-winner of the Superintendent's Award, she said that she "felt honored and really happy" that they chose her.
L'Heureux also grew up in Dudley, where she has spent her entire life living with her parents Cathy and Robert, who are both teachers (her Mom teaches Math at Bay Path in Charlton and her Dad teaches at Knox Trail Junior High in Spencer), her sister Alicia, who just graduated from Gordon College, and her brother Christian, who is a sophomore at St. John's in Shrewsbury.
She was also a member of the National Honor Society, class Treasurer all four years, co-leads the Bible Study at Shepherd Hill and played on both the volleyball and basketball teams.
L'Heureux is also very involved in her church, Oak Hill Bible Church in Oxford, where she sings on Sundays and helps out with the younger kids. And, somehow she has found time for a part-time job at Park N Shop in Dudley.
"Shepherd Hill has been amazing for me," said L'Heureux. "I have always had the most amazing teachers who have been willing to help me at any time. I have loved the whole experience, including the foreign language trips, and the volleyball and basketball has added so much to my experience. I am definitely going to miss it."
L'Heureux has been accepted by Assumption College and although she has not finalized her decision, it's "at the top of her list," but Gordon College is also a possibility. She plans on majoring in either the math or science field
On her friendship with Stiles, L'Heureux said, "we have worked so hard all our years and we are best friends; we are not really competitive with each other but we like being at the top together."
And that is exactly where these two friends are, at the top of the class.
