Bearcats to open new season, new stadium too
2/20/2013 (Updated 11:06:20 PM)
VESTAL -- The losses to graduation, though low in numbers, are high in significance. Two MLB draft picks and one of the best four-year players in program history have departed but 21st-year head coach Tim Sinicki believes his 2013 team still may be a better overall one than its predecessor.Gone are Binghamtons top starter (Mike Augliera, 5th round, Boston) and its premier closer (Lee Sosa, 26th round, Oakland) as well as two-time all-conference first baseman and the teams No. 3 hitter (Dave Ciocchi).
Each year its tough to lose players who have worked so hard and have given so much to the program, Sinicki said. But it makes it especially tough when they are guys who made such an impact on the program like Ciocchi, Augliera and Sosa did. They left big shoes to fill for sure, but big opportunities for guys to battle for.
Sinicki does return 23 letterwinners, including all but one starting position player and three of four starting weekend pitchers. After enduring a vagabond 2012 season in which they practiced on soccer fields and played all 49 games away from home, this years squad will have an immediate leg-up simply by virtue of staying home. The University unveiled its new multi-million dollar baseball facility in the fall and Sinicki has 20 scheduled home dates at the Bearcats Sports Complex, including one of the earliest home openers (March 23 vs. Stony Brook) in program history.
The facility features stadium seating, press box, sunken dugouts and a 30-foot center field batters eye.
We are all looking forward to playing back on campus this spring in our new facility, Sinicki said. Twenty home games are the most weve ever had in a spring season. We are hoping to really create excitement and a great environment here on campus, and turn the new facility into a true home field advantage.

Endowment gifts are never spent. Instead, they are prudently invested according to the University's Investment Policy.
Each named endowment produces earnings year after year which are spent according to the donor's wishes, such as for scholarships, faculty support, or to build the library collection. Annually, amounts are withdrawn from the pooled endowment to fund the specified purpose. Endowment spending typically ranges from 4.5 percent to 4.75 percent, and is sourced from net realized and unrealized investment gains. The original value of any gift to endowment will never be spent. Should the estimated annual calculated spending exceed the net realized and unrealized investment gains, the spending is funded from University unrestricted funding sources. As a result, the donor specified purpose will always be funded annually, regardless of investment performance.
An endowed fund could be compared to a "magic" cup that seemingly refills itself each time it's emptied. In the same way, Gonzaga has many funds for scholarships and other programs that are replenished year after year once the money is spent. But it's not magic. So what is the source? It is the generous gifts given by benefactors, gifts which are never spent, but which will provide replenishment again and again into perpetuity. What an amazing way to touch so many lives.
Endowment gifts are distinct. They don't become a part of the physical campus, like a building or statue, yet they are more durable than bricks and mortar and will outlast virtually any other kind of gift. Not only that, but the name given to an endowment will live on at Gonzaga forever and serve as a living testament of individuals that are helping to impact the lives of students, forever.
Endowment Q&A:
What is an endowment?
An endowment is a fund that lives on in perpetuity because only a percentage of the earnings are spent; protecting the corpus, ensuring the original investment will not be lost. Gonzaga's endowment is a collection of named endowed funds that fulfill the mission of the University and support a variety of learning and enrichment opportunities for students. With the expansion of endowment support, more students can be served through scholarships, academics, student life, mission-centric programming, faculty enrichment, and other University operations.
How does Gonzaga's endowment fulfill the mission?
First and foremost, providing students with an education that transforms them into men and women living for others is an unending endeavor at Gonzaga. In the same way, the endowment is a funding vehicle that supports our capacity to fulfill our mission forever. A strong endowment reduces reliance on tuition revenue and the burden this places on parents and students, while also delivering programmatic funding, faculty chairs and a number of other resources, far into the future - with no end date.
What is Gonzaga's investment philosophy?
Gonzaga University's investment philosophy is to maximize return on assets by exercising an appropriate level of risk; providing income for the benefit of our students and honoring a donor's intent for the gift and growth of their investment into perpetuity.
What are permissible investments for endowment funds?

Our history of engineering excellence ensures that every customer's concept and design will be professionally and completely implemented, because PEI's design staff offers unparalleled photoetching expertise that adds value while lowering total project costs.
What is Photochemical Machining?
PEI's photochemical machining process--recognized by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers--involves the selective removal of a material by chemical action. Evolving from the time-tested process of photoengraving, chemical machining was first used in the production of gunsight reticles in the early 1940's. Since then it has found broad application in such industries as aerospace, appliances, automotive, battery, fuel cell, medical, microelectronics, semiconductor and telecommunications, to name but a few.
Photochemical machining outperforms many similar, more traditional manufacturing operations such as "blanking" complex and precise shapes, "piercing" holes of infinite sizes and shapes, "drilling" blind holes and "milling" or "grinding" of surfaces to precise depths.
The tooling used is a photographic image produced from the electronic artwork created to meet each customer's exacting product specifications. It is inexpensive, and it is easy to make tooling design changes quickly.
What are the Advantages of Photochemical Machining?
The advantages of PEI's photochemical etching process include:
• Rapid prototyping
• No burrs
• No stresses
• No effect on magnetic properties
• No deformation
• No tool wear - the 1000th piece is exactly the same as the first piece
• Precise control of the "Z" (depth) dimension
When Should Photochemical Machining be Used?
Photochemical machining (photoetching) should be used when a customer is looking for:
• Reduced set-up costs (the only cost is for a phototool)
• Rapid turnaround time (the process is ideal for prototyping new products)
• A way to avoid secondary operations such as deburring or annealing
• Products made of materials like titanium and beryllium copper, which are difficult to machine
• Intricate or highly precise products
• Repeatability, repeatability,repeatability
What Materials can be Processed by Photochemical Machining?
Aluminum • Beryllium copper • Beryllium nickel •Blue spring steel •Brass • Bronze • Cold rolled steel • Copper • Copper clad • Direct bond copper on ceramic • Gold • Inconel • Invar • Kovar • Magnesium • Metglas • Mild steel • Molybdenum • Monel • Nickel • Nickel iron • Nickel silver • Pewter • Phosphorous bronze • Silver • Spring steel • Stainless steel • Tin • Titanium • Tungsten • Zinc • Zirconium
How Thick Can the Metal Be?
Metal thicknesses generally range from 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) to 0.125 in. (3.175 mm).
What Finishing Services Does PEI Offer?
PEI also offers finishing services such as ....
• Assembly
• Forming
• Heat treating
• Plating
• Polishing
• Silkscreening

I have never been disappointed with a Tusk product and this one is excellent. One thing of note the wobble extension fits a 1/4" drive ratchet which is surprising. Not really good or bad just different than normal as the other end is 3/8th drive. It would fit in tighter spaces with the 1/4" ratchet so that could be considered a benefit.

Ann Coulter's Progressive Problem
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012by Bob Quasius
Ann Coulter has made a fortune writing and selling books excoriating liberals, also called progressives, for a range of offenses, often mocking liberals in the process.
Unfortunately, despite extensive research and writing on the subject of liberalism, Coulter is not always able to spot a liberal. In the blog Only One Candidate Is Right on The Two Most Important Issues posted December 28 on Townhall.com, Ann Coulter proved she can be hoodwinked by liberals. Coulter claims:
In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.
She's right about ObamaCare, which would unquestionably lead to a complete government takeover of health care. However, Coulter then goes on a diatribe about illegal immigration:
But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.
Just as Americans ought to be able to learn the perils of a welfare state by looking at Greece, we ought to be able to learn the perils of illegal immigration by looking at California.Massive legal and illegal immigration has already so changed the California electorate that no Republican can be elected statewide anymore. Not so long ago, this was a state that produced great Republican governors and senators like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, S.I. Hayakawa and Pete Wilson.
A short history lesson of California for Ann Coulter is in order. The GOP used to be competitive in California. Then, incumbent Republican governor Pete Wilson, trailing far behind in the polls, jumped on the Proposition 187 anti-immigrant bandwagon to revive his lagging campaign and win reelection. Once elected, proposition 187 was quickly overturned by the courts, to no one's surprise since immigration is a federal power. Wilson won reelection playing the race card, but once prop. 187 enthusiasm passed the GOP lost legions of conservative Hispanic voters who were appalled at proposition 187 and became Independents or Democrats. The Field Institute analysis of the 1994 California elections found:
An analysis of Republican Governor Pete Wilson's 55% to 41% reelection victory over Democrat Kathleen Brown shows that Wilson ran strongest among these voter subgroups: those living in San Diego/Orange, the Inland Empire, and the North Coast/Sierra regions, Republicans, conservatives, white non-Hispanics (especially white men), older voters, those with incomes of $60,000 or more, Protestants, and supporters of Prop. 187, the illegal alien initiative.
Proposition 187, the illegal alien initiative, which passed statewide by a 59% to 41% margin, carried in all major regions of the state except the San Francisco Bay Area. Support for Prop. 187 was extremely high in the Inland Empire (+40 points), the North Coast/Sierras (+36 points), San Diego/Orange (+34 points) and the Central Valley (+32 points).
Proposition 187 was spearheaded by John Tanton and the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform, and bankrolled with millions in financing from the Pioneer Fund, whose purpose is "to advance the scientific study of heredity and human differences", in other words scientific racism. John Tanton's own writings show he's an ardent eugenics supporter, an environut, and population control enthusiast with deep ties to planned parenthood. Tanton's resume shows he's not conservative at all but an ardent liberal, the kind that Coulter regularly bashes in her books and columns!
Amazingly, Coulter relies on NumbersUSA, founded by uberliberals John Tanton and Roy Beck, for her source of information on immigration, grading of candidates, etc. Roy Beck is the current leader of NumbersUSA, who was previously publisher of The Social Contract, infamous for publishing racist books and publications such as The Camp of the Saints, among others. For decades Beck has warned of us of the dire consequences of overpopulation of the U.S. If we took his rantings seriously, the world would have starved to death several times over by now!
Tanton, Beck, and their allies have been manipulating both liberals and conservatives for decades. A great example is this "smoking gun" letter from John Tanton's own papers, donated to the University of Michigan library, in which Tanton brags:
Roy Beck and I think we have come up with an idea that can actually move the battle lines on the immigration question in our favor. While we are working on other ideas to move Democrats, this one involves using the recently released census data to show Republican members of Congress, the Administration, and the party's leadership how massive immigration imperils their political future. The goal is to change Republicans' perception of immigration so that when they encounter the word "immigrant," their reaction is "Democrat."
Our plan is to hire a lobbyist who will carry the following message to Republicans on Capitol Hill and to business leaders: Continued massive immigration will soon cost you political control of the White House and Congress, given the current, even division of the electorate, and the massive infusion of voters about to be made to the Democratic side. We are about to replay the Democratic hegemony of 1933-53, fueled back then by the massive immigration of 1890-1924.
Contrary to Coulter's assertions, there's no reason why the GOP cannot be competitive among Hispanics. According to PEW Research:
Among Latino registered voters, 35% describe their political views as conservative, 32% describe them as moderate and 28% describe their political views as liberal.
67% of Hispanics are center-right ideologically, which is a complete disconnect from recent voting trends, which show Hispanics voting Democrat by nearly a two to one margin, yet President Bush was able to gain over 40% of the Hispanic vote! Note the trend:
Year Democrats Republicans Gap
1999 58 25 33
2002 56 25 31
2004 55 28 27
2006 49 28 21
2007 57 23 34
2008 67 31 36
2010 65 22 43
Each year, as Bush engaged Hispanics and made a serious effort to reform immigration, self-identified Hispanic voters increased. With the failure of immigration reform and harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric from some conservative Republicans, no doubt influenced by John Tanton and Roy Beck, starting in 2007 the trend quickly reversed. A recent poll by Latino Decisions shows GOP support among Latinos at 18%, with 31% of Latinos perceiving the GOP as hostile. 14% of Latinos support deportation of all unauthorized immigrants, so a support level of 18% for the GOP shows just how polarizing the immigration issue is to Latinos. If you're Latino and don't support a "deport them all" strategy, you're unlikely to vote Republican!
Assuming Latinos invariably vote Democrat is a self-fulfilling prophecy, with many Republicans failing to make a serious outreach effort, and don't pause to think how their rhetoric alienates Hispanic voters. However, Bush proved Hispanics can be wooed, a process started by Ronald Reagan, who quipped "Latinos are Republican. They just don't know it yet." No wonder John Tanton and Roy Beck have gone to such lengths to convince many Republicans that Latinos invariably vote Democrat!

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
LUMBERTON - A Fayetteville man who was in the Robeson County jail on a drunken driving offense was charged Thursday in a fatal drive-by shooting in Lumberton, authorities said.
Clarence Wendell Roberts, 37, of the 600 block of Riverfront Lane, is charged with one count of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder, said Capt. Terry Parker of the Lumberton Police Department.
Joshua Floyd Council, 22, of White Oak, was shot about 10 p.m. June 14 at a park on Peachtree Street, Parker said.
Several people were in the area and others were playing basketball when someone fired multiple shots from a white car as it drove by, Parker said.
Council, who was shot in the torso, was pronounced dead at Southeastern Regional Medical Center, Parker said. Police don't think Council was the intended target, Parker said.
Roberts drove away, Parker said.
A Highway Patrol trooper in Robeson County stopped Roberts on Saturday and charged him with driving while impaired, Parker said.
Roberts was still in the Robeson County Detention Center when he was charged with murder about 2:50 p.m. Thursday, Parker said.
Roberts is being held without bail, Parker said.

Thousands braved the sweltering heat to watch the Buccaneers hold their first training camp practice Friday morning at One Buc Place.
The Buccaneers opened training camp Friday morning in front of a packed house under the covered canopies that shielded the sun from the bleachers. What the organization couldn't shield was the heat.
The drills moved quickly and organized with a couple short breaks after every few. The players were constantly given water to stay hydrated and drinks were available for fans.
Aside from a few players who were physically sick, including Josh Freeman a few times, the only casualty of the heat seemed to be an assumed cramp with Mason Foster, who walked off unassisted but rode the cart from the practice fields into the facilities.
Practice concluded around 11:15 as the temperature hovered around 90 degrees, without a breeze, and with 60 percent humidity.
Afterwards players met fans for autographs for a few minutes, and then both players and coaches spent time with the media. Coach Schiano Greg Schiano addressed the heat after practice, when he was asked if the heat took a higher toll on his players than expected.
"No, I think with the fact that you're in a one-a-day practice, the new CBA, it really quite frankly would be better to have two (practices) instead of burning them up, but we have to get the work on so really, you saw we had two five minute breaks, that was our attempt to work through it and we'll get better at it." Schiano said. "We'll get accustomed to it, and get acclimated again and that's got to become an advantage of ours as we progress without running ourselves down at the same time."
The second of two first round picks for the Bucs in April, Doug Martin cites the heat as something he is trying to get accustomed to, and is confident they will be able to move past it.
"Yeah, you know, it goes back to this weather, and getting acclimated, getting used to this hot weather and this humidity. It's day one, and you got to get it all out, I'm pretty sure it's going to be better down the line."
Two new additions to the 2012 squad, defensive tackle Amobi Okoye and tight end Dallas Clark, put the Tampa weather in perspective.
"It was hot for sure, but I don't think it's hotter than or more humid than Houston." Okoye said. "Four years out there definitely prepped me for any type of hot, humid weather and then Chicago prepped me for cold weather, so I think my body's kind of like, we've seen this before."
"Actually this is cold," Clark said. "It's been hotter in Iowa, surprisingly. But this is a beautiful day. I think we're stealing this one. But you guys should have been in Iowa in July, it's been a bear cat up there."
The Bucs' 2010 first round draft pick defensive tackle Gerald McCoy views the heat they will be practicing through over the next few weeks as a positive.
"I just know it was hard." McCoy said. "But we made it through. Today was a test of our will, to see if we would go, you know, buckle under the pressure when it's hot. But this is our advantage. We got to learn to play through it so when those other teams come in, it's like...[we're] used to it."
Regardless of how the players feel about the heat and humidity, third-year receiver Mike Williams summed it up best.
"It's hot," Williams said. "You just got to work through it though. We've been here and it's Tampa, we expect it."

The 50 best documentaries of all time
Get back to reality with our ranked list of nonfiction triumphs.
Thu Nov 18 2010
As long as there is fantasy and wish fulfillment onscreen, audiences will also yearn for the truth—or something close to it. In arriving at TONY's favorite documentaries (from all eras and countries), we bumped up against some thorny questions: What makes a documentary essential? Is it the political or social import? Its popularity? Can we allow for staged scenes? Or must we insist on pure vérité? How "real" is reality? We invite your own thoughts in response to our ranked list.
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
America braced itself for Michael Moore's rage—during a presidential election year, no less. But no one expected the emotional gut punch of interviewee Lila Lipscomb, a patriotic army mother turned disbeliever. Moore's defiant success (it's still the highest-grossing doc of all time) had a massive impact, if not quite the intended result.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Last Waltz (1978)
Grabbing the brass ring of technical wizardry, Martin Scorsese took the Band's final concert, an intimate San Francisco event tinged with bitterness, and turned it into myth. In many ways, the musicians come off like downbeat characters in a Scorsese picture, one as potent as Taxi Driver.—Joshua Rothkopf
An Inconvenient Truth (2006)
A politician using facts instead of fabrications—imagine that! Former Vice President Al Gore (working with director Davis Guggenheim) lays out the causes, effects and potential solutions to global warming in an entertainingly persuasive doc that made PowerPoint presentations exciting and spoke strongly to environmentalists.—Keith Uhlich
When We Were Kings (1996)
Leon Gast's definitive look at the Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" is more than just a great-moments-in-sports doc. It's an insightful portrait of Ali as a 20th-century icon transformed into a symbol of tenacity for a beleaguered continent—and proof that the charismatic champ was indeed "the greatest."—David Fear
A Grin Without a Cat (1977)
A towering, decade-spanning political chronicle summing up nothing less than an international spirit of change, Chris Marker's epic journey takes on Che and Fidel, Vietnam and Chile, Parisian riots and California flower children. The result, beautifully resigned, is a difficult but essential work.—Joshua Rothkopf
Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind (2007)
Stones do the speaking in John Gianvito's stirring experimental doc, composed entirely of images of marked and unmarked grave sites across the United States. Tracing a quietly bracing history of the American Left (we visit the resting places of, among others, Eugene V. Debs and Elizabeth Cady Stanton), the film is an ode to the power of protest.—Keith Uhlich
F for Fake (1973)
Here's yet more evidence that Orson Welles didn't just disappoint after Citizen Kane. Toward the end of his working career, the feisty director mounted this sly, quietly groundbreaking study of the art of lying, one that flits from hoaxer Clifford Irving to Welles's own fake alien invasion, The War of the Worlds.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Battle of Chile (1975–79)
Patricio Guzmn's three-part doc offers a comprehensive, 360-degree view of Augusto Pinochet's rise to power, as seen through the eyes of everybody from Marxist peasants to the military brass who staged the coup. The combination of big-picture history lessons and newsreel immediacy continues to inspire lefty documentarians and frontline filmmakers.—David Fear
Monterey Pop (1968)
The first major rock festival of the '60s gave birth to the first major concert film of the era, with D.A Pennebaker paying as much attention to a burgeoning sense of a counterculture as he does to the music itself (though the footage of the Who, Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire, to name three, is epochal). Something was indeed brewing; Pennebaker lets us see the pot being stirred.—David Fear
Man on Wire (2008)
On an early, gray morning in August 1974, tightrope-walker Philippe Petit stepped out into an impossible void, the space between the Twin Towers, and danced for an hour. No other film, fictional or otherwise, more fully restores—poetically, with antic humor—our city's loss as does James Marsh's stunner.—Joshua Rothkopf

There are some good films on this Top 100 Documentaries list... However to leave out the "The Cove" is criminal. What is actually worse is the complete lack of any of the big budget BBC Wildlife documentaries like "The Blue Planet", "Life in cold blood" etc. How can you not include at least one of these amazing documentaries about life on our planet. Your list is riddled with Jewish propaganda documentaries about the Holocaust and other pro-Jewish productions, whilst I am not against these in any way, shape or form, I am disgusted to see that they inundate the list, whilst much more professional, quality and meaningful work is done, that covers life in it's totality. Shameful list.

AMD today announced that Charles Matar and Wayne Meretsky have joined the company to assume critical new engineering leadership roles driving hardware and software intellectual property (IP) development for AMD's system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. Matar will draw upon his expertise in SoC and processor design to lead AMD's SoC methodology and client SoC execution. Meretsky will lead the company's software development, ensuring tools will be in place that will enable developers to take advantage of the compute power in AMD's SoC designs. "Charles and Wayne will serve as key members of our engineering brain trust, bringing with them years of expertise in SoC design and developing 64-bit software ecosystems, respectively," said Mark Papermaster, AMD Chief Technology Officer. "The fact that these computing experts have returned to the company underscores AMD's unique position and opportunity, based on differentiated IP, to take a leadership position in low-power clients and dense cloud servers." Charles Matar, named corporate vice president of SoC Development, will serve as a crucial force behind AMD's SoC solutions. Joining AMD from Qualcomm, Matar combines technical expertise in SoC processor and low-power design with a proven track record of consistently introducing new designs in advanced process technology nodes. With experience leading multidiscipline, global teams in delivering SoC designs and embedded processors from definition through silicon, he will employ his in-depth understanding of market trends and wireless industry requirements to help AMD shift appropriate focus to client and embedded market opportunities. Prior to Qualcomm, Matar held engineering roles at Motorola, Rockwell Semiconductor, HAL Computer Systems, PMC-Sierra and helped to develop AMD's K8 processor family. Meretsky, named corporate vice president, Software IP Development, will lead software development for all of AMD's products. Meretsky is a former AMD Fellow who was instrumental in making AMD's 64-bit technology the de facto industry standard for PCs, workstations and servers. He has more than 25 years of development and management experience in the creation of high-volume technology products and has held leadership roles at Rational, Apple and P.A. Semi. In addition to his technical contributions, Meretsky has a strong track record of managing high-performance teams that will help ensure developers, technology partners and customers are fully aligned with AMD's software strategy. Meretsky is also a former P.A. Semi colleague of Jim Keller, whose appointment as AMD's Chief Architect was announced in August 2012.
They have great engineering already. What they need is a new PR department and a better paid driver team.
Good to know AMD's brain fart is coming to an end. They are getting back their think tanks, this shows confidence in the new leadership. Hopefully we see this Star rise again!
AMD could start the road to recovery by putting out (GPU) drivers that actually work. Time to halt the "faster performance" race and focus on stability and reliability. The drivers are doing a gross injustice to the hardware, which is a shame because the alternatives out there are very attractive. Brand loyalty notwithstanding, what else besides value ($) is attractive about AMD today? Yes, I have stories, but to sum it up, AMD isn't lacking vision, they're lacking focus. They ought to iron out the basics. Bringing in more people, no matter how smart, is looking more like the same-old-same-old from AMD. They are throwing more lumber at the house when the problem lies with the foundation. Fix that, and things will fall back into place. Please spare me the flaming btw, I supported AMD through my own builds and all the ones I did for friends and family, but not recently as time and time again I felt disappointed in both product options and management, and so I won't support a company that doesn't have it's own house in order.
You can stop developing new hardware just because your drivers are a bit shaky (sometimes). With that you basically want HD 4870 performance with great drivers (which will still have issues for someone),....it just won't happen.
No, I meant driver level performance tweaks. FPS increases might be there, but what good is a performance increase in a video game when there are micro-stutters, when blue-screens and "grey-screens" are rampant, when simple things (HDMI...) issues are popping up. AMD could hire a student intern to scout the forums and keep a record of the most common problems (and there's no shortage of information) and direct the engineers to focus in on those issues - instead of putting on this PR stunt that has never worked for them in the past, nor for any other company; and yet continue to put out broken drivers.
They don't need the tech, they need the marketing. Just look at how successful Apple are. Whether they have good technology/products is debatable, but what isn't is the marketing success they have.
I do agree with what you have said, however you can't have an error free driver...especially when it comes to things like GPU's. There are thousands of different configurations and in some cases you can't even recreate the issue. Both sides have their fair share of issues.
i think the good guy of AMD are going back.. but the problem on them are how to manage their ADS so that their product sell fast? last december i went to a mall here in the philippines all i see on the glass window are all intel netbooks, and i ask the salesman if they have amd netbooks, he reply to me Sir dont buy that amd made netbooks it consume more power compare to this intel netbooks.. i just laugh wahahaha.. i told him i have that kind of netbooks but i cannot run simple photoshop. My brother have sony VAIO y series APU and he can do photoshop editing.

Vrapper is an Eclipse plugin which acts as a wrapper for Eclipse text editors to provide a Vim-like input scheme for moving around and editing text. Unlike other plugins which embed Vim in Eclipse, Vrapper imitates the behavior of Vim while still using whatever editor you have opened in the workbench. The goal is to have the comfort and ease which comes with the different modes, complex commands, and count/operator/motion combinations which are the key features behind editing with Vim, while preserving the powerful features of the different Eclipse text editors, like code generation and refactoring.
TXR is a new data munging language. TXR's special pattern language provides template-based matching of entire documents or large sections of documents. It also contains a language for functional and imperative programming. It is written in C and takes the form of a utility that is portable to Unix-like platforms and Windows.

Posted: Feb 7, 2013 11:24 AM by Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) - New England is bracing for a major winter storm expected to dump up to 2 feet of snow in some places from Friday into Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Taunton says most of southern New England could get between 18 and 24 inches of snow starting Friday morning and continuing into Saturday afternoon. The Cape could get a little less, although forecast totals varied widely.
Meteorologist William Babcock says it's looking like it's going to be a very powerful storm. If everything falls the way it has the potential to it could be among the top 10 snowstorms in New England.
New York City is also bracing for snow, anywhere from 4 to 6 inches. Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city is ready, and if bad weather has to happen, it's better to have it on a weekend.

After Intel's Nehalem platform is no secret anymore, it's time to start looking at the motherboards that will support the new Socket 1366 buddies. One of them is ASUSTeK's upcoming P6T Deluxe mainboard based on Intel's yet-to-be-released X58 Express, the first chipset to power the Socket 1366 Core i7 Nehalem processors. As part of the whole platform, the P6T Deluxe has a total of six DDR3 slots intended for triple-channel mode and three PCI-Express x16 slots with support for dual and triple video card configurations. It's too early to say which one, ATI's CrossFire, NVIDIA's SLI or both combos. Expect further information when the time comes. Meanwhile if you want to take a closer look at the motherboard please click here. Source: PCGH
Wow a few changes to the way the PEG go in the slots,Those hooks remind me of the AGP 2 days with the self locks.Also the way they look beveled and what not,must be for heat?The board itself looks crowded around the cpu socket with all them caps,Must be that the new after market coolers will need to go straight up over them caps then surround the rest of the area(thinking the Cooler Master V8 ) also those pvrm coolers look way to high holy god overkill maybe? .
I'm not sure but that's maybe the NVIDIA chip which will bring SLI support for the Socket 1366 era, but that's unconfirmed information yet
Like the new PEG hook in the end. Hate the current "standard" 1st slot side hook that gets always stuck when removing GPU. AGP style wasn't the greatest either, when longer cards came. The latch was under the card/cooler and sometimes impossile to reach. Caps are no problem, current coolers already go over them in S775, like mine. Anything inside that pushpin area can't be higher than they are and aftermarket coolers are designed to be compatible.
the reason it got a northbridge becus its a connection chup from cpu to NB to PCI-e and southbridge other words its just a connection ship
omg 6 ddr3 sockets, that is freakin awesome! i hope the x58 chipset has just as good hopefully if not better memory support compared to its older extreme chipset buddies, i can just imagine an extreme core i7 cpu on this baby with 6 of hynix's new 16gb ddr3 modules, whatever flavour uber gfx cards aswell, i reckon game development will take a while before there able to pull a 'crysis' on these specs also; im suprised and delighted that im seeing the next generation boards so soon
It would be nice, if this time around, there were a few more decent Intel single PCI-E x16 boards available that would be cheaper and more relevant to single slot enthusiasts.
I had wished they'd do something about the CPU cooler retention system, but we seem to be stuck with the push pin system. I'm looking forward to the official Core i7 release and test reviews tho.
The page now says "SLI support confirmed" I think you're right, because there are only 6 expansion slots that I see.
I see that i7 is still using some traditional technologies, thank god its using a 4/8 pin, if it were eight pin that would steam the community.
Interesting battery placement. Only six DDR3 slots? :shadedshu What is up with the red usb ports on the rear I/O
12Gig not enuff for you, probably the only puter to use that kind of memory is located in NASA.....you a spaceman or somethin?
I don't think it would be an issue at all. Almost anyone looking to buy this board, and the chip that goes with it, is gonna have a psu with an 8pin on it. I eagerly await the boards that are Crossfire AND sli capable.
Umm, maybe you're referring to the crap they user on little landers and stuff like this http://ahtim.com/nasa-computer-specs-to-mars/ But, I think when most people refer to NASA computers, they mean the supercomputers like this http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Resources/Systems/pleiades.html Edit: And 12gb is nothing compared to what's in systems like that. "Memory * Type - DDR2 FB-DIMMs * 1GB per core, 8GB per node * Total Memory - 20 TB"
Do any of you know if the board will support 12gigs DDR3-15000 1866ghz?? I am looking to buy OCZ Reaper 8-8-8-28 Memory product code is OCZ3RPR1866LV6GK Ive been researching all day and have not been able to find an answer Thanks in advance

School district officials hope two arrests made by RCMP this weekend will put an end to a rash of school break ins that started at the beginning of January.
A 32-year-old woman and 34-year-old man, both of Chilliwack, were arrested at the back of Tyson elementary at 4 a.m. Sunday morning and charged with one count of break and enter each,
Mounties are now investigating whether the pair was also involved in the many other incidents around the district in recent weeks, RCMP spokesperson Cst. Tracy Wolbeck told the Times Wednesday.
Over the last month and a half, there have been almost three times as many break ins at school district buildings than the previous four months combinedwith 12 incidents in January and 16 in February already, according to a report by secretary-treasurer Maureen Carradice at a school board meeting Tuesday.
Since the arrest Sunday, however, no further break ins have been reported, and Wolbeck said local police are optimistic.
"We are hoping as a result of the arrests that the break and enters and vandalism to the schools sees a decrease, and we will continue our proactive approach to this issue," she said.
Break ins and theft usually make up the smallest portion of the district's budget for vandalism, but the dramatic increase in recent weeks sparked Carradice's report, which outlined measures the district has in place to thwart thieves.
The district has spent more than $200,000 on loss prevention projects this year, including intruder alarms at all schools and portables, security cameras at 18 sites, and roll shutters and security screens installed in high-risk areas.
One anti-vandalism measure that hasn't worked to prevent the recent spike in break ins, however, is the district long-standing "dark schools" policy.
The district keeps school grounds dark to prevent youthful vandalismlike window-breaking and graffitiinspired by an impulse to show off in front of peers.
"If the campus is dark so they can't actually see or show off what they're doing, they're less inclined to spray-paint walls and do all that kind of stuff," Carradice told the Times in an interview last month.
When it comes to break ins, however, she told trustees the policy tends to aid culprits rather than thwart them.
"The difficulty with a dark campus is, while it discourages vandalism of the type that we normally think, it actually gives a pretty nice environment for theft, so the thefts that have been occurring over the last six weeks have been, to some degree, facilitated by the fact that our sites are dark," she said.
Given the arrests and that break ins usually make up the smallest portion of vandalism costs, however, Carradice said the district will stick with the policy.

Baby Rain's CarbonFree® Commitment is Six Years Strong and Growing
So, you're having a baby...Congratulations! What better gift to give your new bundle of joy than fresh clean air! Whether you're a brand-new parent, busy raising kids or playing with your grandkids, caring for our environment to ensure its health for future generations should be a top concern.
One of the ways you can help support a healthy environment is to carefully select the products you purchase and the businesses you choose to support. Looking for strong sustainability programs and commitments to environmentally-responsible operations will enable you to support those companies that are doing their part to protect the environment.
For the past six years, CarbonFree® Business Partner Baby Rain, a leading online baby products retailer operating both www.pamperedtot.com and www.babychecklist.com, has neutralized all carbon emissions from its annual business operations and product shipping.
"Our business is booming! With our success comes a need for more packaging materials, marketing collateral, and fuel to power the vehicles used to deliver our products to thousands of customers across the USA and around the world," explains Greg Charlap, Owner of Baby Rain. "As a business, we not only want to offset our growing footprint, but would also like to educate our customers about this worthy and necessary cause. Carbonfund.org helps us do both!"
Through the CarbonFree® Business Partnership, Baby Rain makes investments in carbon-offsetting projects, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation. Each project plays an important role in the fight against global warming.
In addition, Baby Rain plants a tree through Carbonfund.org for every stroller order they receive - a great way to give back and replace resources they use. These ongoing commitments to environmental responsibility make Baby Rain a great choice for baby care products from a company that's helping to protect the planet's future.
Eagle-Eye Tours Focuses on Birding and Wildlife Adventures While Neutralizing Carbon Emissions
As is the case with many of our eco-tourism business partners, Eagle-Eye Tours of Windermere, Canada recognizes the environmental impact of their educational tour programs and is doing something about it. Eagle-Eye Tours covers the globe with diverse tours, ranging from ones with a birding focus to tours combining photography and wildlife, birds and gardens and more, visiting some of the wildest corners of our planet. Tour travel and onsite lodging creates carbon dioxide emissions, which Eagle-Eye Tours works to minimize but also realizes that all emissions cannot be avoided.
To address this negative by-product of their tours, Eagle-Eye Tours has maintained a CarbonFree® operation for the past five years by calculating annual tour-related emissions then supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air technology and carbon reduction projects to neutralize those emissions. To date, Eagle-Eye Tours has mitigated almost 2 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions through their CarbonFree® program, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by almost 23,000 tree seedlings planted and grown for ten years.
"We travel the world enjoying birds and other wildlife, but realize that many of these species are threatened by climate change," explains Cam Gillies, Director of Eagle-Eye Tours. "We are excited to continue to offset the carbon emissions from our operations and to take concrete action in the conservation of the biodiversity we so enjoy."
Eagle-Eye Tours offsets all of the carbon dioxide emissions produced from all guide and on-tour participant flights, vehicle use during tours and operations, ship use, and the electricity used by their office. They also design tours that visit reserves and lodges that have been established to demonstrate and deliver benefits from conservation to the local community. Eagle- Eye Tours offers tour participants the option to help with environmental sustainability by offsetting flights from their departure to the start of the tour. This ongoing commitment to sustainable tour management helps to set apart Eagle-Eye Tours as a leader in ecotourism and demonstrated environmental responsibility in all aspects of their operation.
Chicago's First Lady Cruises and Mercury, Chicago's Skyline Cruiseline are CarbonFree®
For visitors to the greater Chicago area and the locals who've endured a long winter, a big three-season draw is the Lake Michigan waterfront. Among the popular waterfront pastimes are the various Chicago River and Lake Michigan boat cruises that provide passengers with views of the Chicago skyline, architectural tours, dinner cruises, and on-board wedding and special event celebrations.
To help protect and preserve the Lake Michigan resource, the environmentally-focused passenger will consider a cruiseline's attention to environmental responsibilities and fuel conservation when booking their tour. CarbonFree® Partner Chicago's First Lady Cruises and Mercury, Chicago's Skyline Cruiseline will stand out as a leader in this area.
As part of their extensive sustainability initiatives, Chicago's First Lady Cruises and Mercury, Chicago's Skyline Cruiseline has partnered with Carbonfund.org to measure and neutralize their annual carbon dioxide emissions. Office energy usage, business travel and employee commuting emissions, as well as all fuel used by the cruise ships throughout 2012, were included in the emissions calculations. The resulting total annual operational emissions were mitigated by corresponding donations to support Carbonfund.org's renewable energy and reforestation projects.
The CarbonFree® Business Program status joins many other environmentally conscious initiatives followed by the Chicago-based cruiseline company. Since 2006, all vessels have used B-11 biodiesel fuel, saving more than 4,000 gallons of imported crude oil per year. Their newest vessel, Chicago's Leading Lady, added to the fleet in 2011, is equipped with computerized energy-efficient engines that help the boat save over 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel each year.
Chicago's First Lady Cruises encourages their passengers to join an active office and operations recycling program by recycling their onboard maps for future guests. Dockside waste bins are constructed of recycled plastic milk containers, and beverage cans and bottles are collected onboard and dockside for recycling. Promotional materials are printed by CarbonFree® Partner Digital Hub, voted Chicago's Greenest Printer, with soy-based inks and recycled papers. All employees are encouraged to ride their bike, walk or commute to work by using public transit, and Mercury, Chicago's Skyline Cruisline encourages its staff to participate in the employee public transit reimbursement program.
This focus on measures to protect the waterways its passengers enjoy demonstrates a firm commitment to environmental stewardship by Chicago's First Lady Cruises and Mercury, Chicago's Skyline Cruiseline, and Carbonfund.org is glad to participate in these efforts.
Central Coast Outdoors Offers Outdoor Tour Adventures as a Five-Year CarbonFree® Partner
It's spring – time to get outdoors and enjoy all the beauty and adventure that nature offers. For the past ten years, Central Coast Outdoors has arranged kayaking, biking and hiking tours in the California Central Coast region, and for the last five of those ten years, Central Coast Outdoors has neutralized its own operational emissions as a CarbonFree® Business Partner.
"Our company goal was to lower our emissions and impacts as much as we could and use carbon offsets and other mitigation measures to address the impacts that remained," explained John Flaherty, co-owner of Central Coast Outdoors with his wife, Virginia. "We feel Carbonfund.org works hard to offset and repair environmental damage for organizations that advocate for a sustainable future."
Central Coast Outdoors has taken many additional steps to be an environmentally responsible tour company. They use highly fuel efficient hybrid vehicles for their tour transportation, installed solar electric panels on their office, use refillable water bottles and purchase produce and menu items from local farmers markets for tour meals. These efforts coupled with their ongoing commitment to maintaining a CarbonFree® business underscore Central Coast Outdoors' dedication to being a truly sustainable tour operations company.
Get out there this spring – enjoy the outdoors, but be sure to choose tour operators that are truly dedicated to environmental responsibility like Central Coast Outdoors to plan your next adventure.
Six-Year CarbonFree® Partner Flavorus Changing the Way the World Sells Tickets
2013 marks the sixth consecutive year that Flavorus, one of the world's largest event tickets distributor, has maintained a CarbonFree® Business environment. With global awareness of the environment at critical mass, Flavorus changed every aspect of its operations to give the Earth its due TLC. First, they cleaned up their own house: reducing waste, implementing aggressive recycling efforts, replacing incandescent lighting, and a host of other modifications to its daily operational practices. Then Flavorus asked the same of their clients by promoting their paperless will-call ticket delivery and order placement. Finally, Flavorus has taken the progressive step to neutralize its remaining carbon footprint for the past six years by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air technology projects around the world.
"Since its inception 10 years ago, Flavorus has looked for progressive business practices. We are proud to be the first in our industry to make environmental responsibility part of our identity," explains Todd Sims, CEO.
Flavorus uses a high volume "Jetstream" application that can process 150,000 tickets in 10 seconds per event. Clients also can customize their Flavorus event page to match the company's own website and marketing style, and can embed ticket sales system directly into website with custom widgets. And Flavorus features e-ticketing, which reduces the labor, paper, mailing and costs associated with printing and mailing tickets to buyers.
"Our transformation involved three critical phases: cleaning up our operations, bringing our customers and clients on board, and partnering with a carbon offset organization to help fund environmental projects around the globe," emphasizes Sims. "With focus and determination, every individual can make a difference and reverse the damage being done to the environment. We only have one planet, and we're committed to keeping it green."
Carbonfund.org is thrilled to continue our partnership with Flavorus and encourages every business to examine the steps they can take today to help protect our environment by reducing and neutralizing harmful carbon emissions.

Our #20 Women Volleyball Buckeyes just went on the road and beat #4 Nebraska 3-1... this is a HUGE win for our team. It is SUPER rare to beat Nebraska at home, and the Huskers were a team that is considered a strong contender for a national title.
If you've never been to a vball match, but have always kinda wanted to, this is the year to do it. This team is senior-heavy and should jump into the top 15 with a win over Iowa Sunday. Coach Carlston has turned the program around and it could be a BIG year for OSU volleyball.
Go Bucks!

The Lancers won 8-3 in the opener before Tory Ferreira and Tina Galinato powered the Lancers to a 4-0 victory in the nightcap.
Ferreira set a career high with 10 strikeouts in the complete game shutout, throwing seven innings of four hit ball. Ferreira allowed just four singles and gave up no walks in the outing. She moves her PacWest best record to 20-2 with the win.
The Lancers and Knights played even through three innings in the late game until Galinato broke the contest open with a two run triple down the right field line. She would later homer in the sixth, driving in three of CBU's four runs in the game, going 2 for 3 at the plate.
Ferreira didn't allow a single base runner through the final two innings to preserve the shutout, striking out the side in the final frame.
In the opener the Lancers scored eight runs on 10 hits, jumping out to a 4-1 lead after two innings. Mara Rodriguez got the Lancer offense rolling right off the bat, hitting a solo-shot in the second at-bat of the game, her 11th homer of the season.
Lindsay Henry led the Lancers, driving in three runs in the opener. She hit a two run double in the second inning to help the Lancers get off to their quick start.
Art U scored a pair of runs in the fifth to make it 7-3, but wouldn't get any closer.
Rodriguez was 2 for 4 in the game, driving in two runs and Henry went 3 for 4 at the plate. Andie Banuelos also drove in two runs in the game with a double in the fifth. She was 2 for 4 in the game.
Emma Holden ran her record to 20-4 with a complete game victory in the opener, allowing three runs on eight hits. Holden struck out eight batters and walked none.
CBU chased Art U starter Kimberly Dauer after the fifth inning and would score one more run off reliever Kristin Valdivia.
The Lancers move their season record to 40-6 overall, 23-4 in the PacWest with the win. The Lancers continue to stay one loss ahead of Dixie State in the loss column for first in the conference standings. Art U falls to 20-25, 14-14.
The Lancers and Knights face each other again tomorrow for another doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
