Reviews for Bacon-Broccoli Cheese Ball(11)
Sort By :
Super easy and always a crowd pleaser
I used 3/4 tsp. fresh ground garlic pepper instead and also as others had suggested added the bacon to the cheese ball, then rolled it in parsley before serving. AWESOME!!!!
This, along with the Holiday Cheese Ball, was my first time making a cheese ball. It was devoured within 45 minutes of putting it on the table.
I like to grate cheddar cheese because it mixes into the cream cheese better. I also just mix the bacon pieces into the ball, that way every one gets bacon with their cheese.
I made this as one on my appetizers for a large group. it was very good. Most cheese balls are rolled in nuts preventing allergy sufferers from having some. This was great because these people could actually enjoy this appetizer. I would recommend it to others.

Across the nation, states struggling with pension debts and deficits are pursuing structural reforms to public worker benefit plans. As Oklahoma attempts to solve its pension problem, it may find a road map in reforms enacted by other states. While the approaches differ, concerns raised in states considering changes to public pensions are fairly consistent: whether proposals will reduce benefits for current employees; how the state will meet current pension commitments when new workers contribute to a different system; how cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) can be funded; and, whether a new benefit structure will offer enough security for future public workers. With very few exceptions, states adopting or considering reforms have not suggested changes to benefits promised to workers enrolled in the state's current plan, nor any retiree. Such is the case in Oklahoma, where policymakers have proposed no changes to the benefits promised to current workers or retirees. Contributions Concerns that the loss of new contributions to the defined benefit plan will harm workers under the current system can be met by maintaining dedicated funding levels. With this commitment, and employers contributing to a less costly plan, the state can dedicate a portion of the "savings" toward the unfunded liabilities of the closed plan. Additionally, once past obligations are met, the state can use the savings from the less-costly benefit plan to grant COLAs or adjust employee compensation. COLAs In recent years Oklahoma stopped granting unfunded cost of living adjustments, but statute is unclear on what constitutes funding. For example, Pension reform road maps could an individual plan grant a COLA if the plan is fully funded and investment earnings are sufficient to absorb the cost? Kentucky, whose pension reform proposals have recently been adopted by both legislative bodies and await action from the governor, also require that any COLA be pre-funded by the Legislature. Rhode Island, which enacted what has been called the boldest pension reform in the nation, suspended COLAs for all public workers until the collective funded status of all the plans exceeds 80 percent. However, even under the suspension the state allows one COLA every five years, based on the plan's five-year average investment return. Retirement security Some current public workers, whose benefits would be unaffected by any reforms proposed in Oklahoma, have expressed concern for the workforce that replaces them in the future. They worry that a reduction in benefits could discourage well-qualified workers from entering public service. To address this concern, many states are retaining attractive public worker benefits, even after adopting reforms, by assuming "As Oklahoma attempts to solve its pension problem, it may find a road map in reforms enacted in other states."

Polling American scientific literacy
A new poll from the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine offers a degree of insight into American scientific literacy on natural selection, the age of the earth, and climate change, although there were no questions directly addressing evolution in the sense of common ancestry or climate change in the sense of anthropogenic global warming.

The Palaeolithic rock art in Wadi Abu Subeira, Egypt: Landscape, archaeology, threats and conservation
Since the publication of the threats to the Palaeolithic rock art in Wadi Abu Subeira three weeks ago, there has been much response through e-mail and social media, and the case has been covered by many online magazines and blogs. People in Egypt and elsewhere are concerned, and I wish to thank you all for your interest and for bringing the case along to friends and colleagues, as well as to administrators and politicians. There now seems to be a need for an "unbiased", comprehensive overview of what is actually known about the landscape, the archaeology, the rock art, the threats, current conservation efforts and options for the future. The overview below is based on published literature, and information that otherwise belongs to the public sphere. It is written in close cooperation with Adel Kelany, and we have benefitted from input by Dirk Huyge. Continue reading

Wadi Abu Subeira, Egypt: Palaeolithic rock art on the verge of destruction
In 2007 one of the most important recent archaeological discoveries in Egypt were made in Wadi (Chor) Abu Subeira near Aswan: A team led by Adel Kelany of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) found a stunning assemblage of petroglyphs dating to the Late Palaeolithic era (c. 15-20.000 years ago). But now this truly unique testimony of mankind's early art is on the verge of destruction due to modern mining. Continue reading

Summary and Book Reviews
The Graveyard Book: Summary and book reviews of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
In all – despite brief bouts with rather grisly evildoers – this is a most satisfying tale suitable for children ten and older. Gaiman's lyrical prose not only mitigates the book's more unpleasant occurrences it elevates the stature of its warmest and most endearing characters. And his crisp dialogue speaks to the kind of hipness that pre-teens most enjoy. (Reviewed by Donna Chavez). Full Review (961 words). Media Reviews

It was certainly the right way to start the season for Montana State as they hosted the first meet of the season. In the MSU Dual Meet Invitational Friday night, the Bobcats came away with a 95-52 win over Montana, and a 99-45 win over Idaho State for the men. On the women's side, MSU beat Montana 82-66, and Idaho State 79.5.
On top of the big wins for the school, there was one individual performance that certainly stood out. In the mile run, Heather Haug's time of 4:48.93 became 4:42.29 with the altitude adjustment, setting a new program record. The Livingston, Mont. native is now the owner of three program records. The previous record in the mile was 4:44.39, set back in 1988 by Theresa Zacher. Haug also holds the record in the 1,500 and the 3,000 steeplechase.
The Bobcats are back at home on January 25th for the MSU Open

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Presbyterian Healthcare became one of the first health systems in the state to receive full Cycle III accreditation from the Society of Chest Pain Centers Accreditation Review Committee on January 21, 2010. Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville and Presbyterian Hospital Matthews received Cycle III accreditation status, while Presbyterian Hospital was awarded Cycle III accreditation with PCI, a special designation for its interventional catheterization program.
Presbyterian Hospital received its first accreditation in 2004; Presbyterian Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville and Presbyterian Hospital Matthews all received Cycle II accreditation status in 2007. The minimum requirements escalate with each renewal, and Cycle III accreditation is currently the highest possible level of Chest Pain Center accreditation status.
The hospitals' Chest Pain Center accreditation means that clinicians take a protocol-driven and systematic approach to patient management. This approach allows physicians to reduce treatment time during the early stages of a heart attack, when treatments are most effective. Presbyterian Hospital's average time of 45 minutes to open a blocked artery is twice as fast as the national guideline of 90 minutes, resulting in improved patient outcomes. This system also allows clinicians to better monitor patients when it is unclear if they are having a coronary event - a process that helps ensure that a patient is not sent home too early or needlessly admitted.
"Presbyterian continues to raise the bar for cardiac care in the Charlotte area," said Sid Fletcher, M.D., assistant chief of staff at Presbyterian Hospital and an emergency medicine physician. "Cycle III accreditation is an acknowledgement of the tremendous effort we have put into providing leading-edge heart attack care to our patients."
To achieve accreditation, each hospital had to demonstrate expertise and a commitment to quality patient care by meeting or exceeding a wide set of stringent criteria and completing on-site evaluations by a review team from the Society of Chest Pain Centers.
Key areas in which a Chest Pain Center must demonstrate expertise include:
More than five million Americans visit hospitals each year with chest pain. The goal of the Society of Chest Pain Centers is to significantly reduce patient mortality rates by teaching the public to recognize and react to the early symptoms of a possible heart attack, reduce the time that it takes to receive treatment and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment.
For more information about heart attack symptoms and treatment, or to learn more about Presbyterian's programs, classes and services, visit www.presbyterian.org/heart.

In the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings in December, the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns had 100 new mayors join.
There are 800 mayors who have signed the groups statement of principles, which include keeping military-style weapons off our streets. Most of the nations big-city mayors support the group, co-founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
But Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx who has been outspoken in his support for a ban on assault weapons and high-magazine clips has declined to join.
He said he has a lot of alignment with Bloombergs group but is trying to be prudent about how I manage this issue.
He said there are typically two groups in the gun control debate. He said there are those who want more gun control and who want to implement laws now while the iron is hot. On the other side, You have a group that says under no circumstances should we change anything ... to our gun laws.
I think most people are somewhere in the middle, Foxx said. And right, wrong or indifferent, one of the concerns I have about joining any group is putting myself in a position where I cant speak credibly to both sides.
Foxx, a Democrat, hasnt been silent during the gun debate.
He has said he has met twice recently with Vice President Joe Biden, who is leading a task force on curbing gun violence. Foxx on Monday signed an open letter to the President of the United States and the Congress from the nations mayors.
The letter called for enacting a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; strengthening the national background check system and eliminating loopholes; and strengthening penalties for straw purchases of guns.
In interviews with local media, he has called for a ban on assault weapons and said the nations mental health system needs improvement.
During Mondays City Council meeting, Foxx asked city staff to track how and with whom the city spends its money for police weapons and ammunition.
Foxx easily won re-election in 2011, garnering almost 70 percent of the vote. Its unlikely that joining Bloombergs group would damage him in future runs for mayor. Foxx has said he will make a formal decision about running for a third term early this year, but that he is leaning toward running again.
But Foxx has considered running for higher office. When former Gov. Bev Perdue announced last year that she wasnt running for re-election, Foxx briefly considered running for the Democratic nomination. He decided against it, in part due to the challenges of hosting the Democratic National Convention in September.
Michael Bitzer, professor of politics and history at Catawba College, said joining a gun-control group founded by Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino would raise eyebrows in some parts of the state.
You still have to win some rural and more importantly suburban votes, Bitzer said about any statewide election. Its hard for a more liberal Democrat in this state to win statewide than a moderate slightly conservative. That stigma is something that they will have to consider in joining any association.
Of the nations 50 largest cities, 32 have mayors who have joined the group. Charlotte is the nations 17th-largest city.
Of the 18 cities with mayors who havent joined, five are in Texas a state where gun ownership is high. San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who was the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, isnt listed on the groups website.
In North Carolina, the mayors of Raleigh, Durham, Winston-Salem and Chapel Hill have joined. Mayors in Greensboro, Wilmington, Asheville and Charlotte have not.
Some states that are considered conservative have few or no mayors who are members. Oklahoma has no mayors who have joined. Utah and North Dakota have only one mayor each.
The group was founded in 2006 by Bloomberg and Menino.
Mayors who join are asked to sign a statement of principles.
Some of the principles include: to punish to the maximum extent of the law criminals who possess, use, and traffic in illegal guns; to target ... irresponsible gun dealers who break the law by knowingly selling guns to straw purchasers; to keep lethal, military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets; and to develop new technologies that aid in the detection and tracing of illegal guns.

text: HOUGHTON -- Even though school is out for the summer, a total of 18 teachers are learning about the unique geology in the Upper Peninsula. While inside the classroom, the teacher becomes the student learning about the ancient copper mining history but the learning also goes beyond the classroom. "Teachers love Michigan Tech's Summer Teacher Institutes because they're hands-on. They are out and touching it, and they're doing it, and they just find it really exciting and they get enthused," said Program Coordinator at the Center for Science at Michigan Technological University, Joan Chadde. As teachers pile into the vans, it's time to head up to the Quincy Mine for a look at the copper mining process. Clay Cotey is an eighth grade earth science teacher in Calumet, and he says he's always striving to learn things that will make him better in the classroom. "I'm in the field of science where information out there is doubling every 10/15 years. It's important for us to stay current. Some of the things I'm learning about, ideas of the geology here, didn't exist when I went to school," said Cotey. As the outdoor classroom continues, teachers head underground. The Quincy Mine is one of the few mines where people can actually go underground. The tour gives teachers a chance to see what daily life was like for the miners while at work, and teachers can see how large rocks of copper were broken down and removed from the mine. After the Quincy Mine tour, teachers had a chance to visit Seaman's Mineral Museum on Michigan Tech's campus. As teachers continue their tours throughout the week, they'll be able to take everything they've learned and use it inside their own classrooms.

Strauss-Kahn predicted he'd be victimized by a false rape claim
Last Saturday, less than three weeks after that interview, a hotel housekeeping employee said that Mr. Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her.
Those who have already assumed Strauss-Kahn guilty would ask, why would he have imagined such a thing, unless he had already raped someone or planned to rape someone?
The answer is obvious. It's not as if other internationally prominent men haven't been accused under circumstances that raise questions about the veracity of the accusations.
Can you say Julian Assange? Al Gore? And we won't get into the celebrities -- the David Copperfields and the athletes, both European and American. Prominent men are easy targets.
Let us be blunt. Men who engage consensually on a frequent basis with women they don't know well run a great risk of being falsely accused. Strauss-Kahn admits to being a ladies man.
It's the law of averages: the more women you interact with, the greater the chance that one will falsely accuse you of rape.

The American gender-Raunch community are working feverishly to gag all access to information that they don't like.
One must now go "beyond the US curtain of perversion and misinformation" to get any real facts about the girl who has accused Khan of rape. - May 18, 2011, 1:42:00 PM
It would be interesting to see what the rest of the world is saying about this. You know, kinda "go beyond the New york Times perversion spin".

This doesn't smell like a false rape situation to me. What about Strauss-Kahn's rapid flight from the hotel room to an airplane leaving the country, even forgetting his cell phone in the room? How about the excuse of having dinner with his daughter, which was suddenly changed to an "admission" of consensual sex when it became clear that there was evidence proving sexual contact. Lastly, if you're going to put together a 'honey pot' situation, the woman has to at least be at a certain level of attractiveness, and presumably young. What would have prompted anyone to use a woman like this? Not a case of false rape, in my view.

But, then again, aren't you one of the few who still believe that those Duke Lacrosse boys got away with rape?
"What about Strauss-Kahn's rapid flight from the hotel room to an airplane leaving the country, even forgetting his cell phone in the room?"
There seems to have been a hasty exit from the hotel, not to a waiting plane, but to a lunch date with his daughter (weird thing to do if one is fleeing a crime). And he had a meeting scheduled in Germany the next day, so he was already planning to leave the country, and would have done so if no maid had entered his hotel room either before or after he had left it.
None of that is really evidence of flight from criminal conduct. The guy was rich enough to hire a private jet and leave the country ASAP if he felt he needed to. Instead, he seemed to be going about "business as usual", taking a commercial flight.
None of which exonerates him either, of course.
And, it seems the alibi of having lunch with his daughter was put forth by his attorney when it was originally believed that the crime had happened at around 1 PM, when he could be shown to have been at the restaurant. Additionally, it seem that as far as "changing stories" go, her account seems to have changed from around 1 PM to around noon AFTER it was learned that he had checked out before 12:30 PM.
Again, nothing there to clear him, but it does call her story into question.
Hotel workers are supposed to leave the door propped open when working in a guest room, yet we are hearing nothing of the electronic evidence about what times a door card was used (and the use of employee cards can be differentiated from guest cards). Nor are we being told anything of the video surveillance.
Why is that?
Still nothing to exonerate him, but, likewise, nothing to actually demonstrate any guilt on his part either.
And what of this DNA evidence? Some accounts claim it was blood on the bed. How does that fit in with the account she has given? And, why didn't she report the incident sooner?
The fact is that there are still too many questions to be answered before anyone can be reasonably certain about what happened. Unless of course, someone simply believes that they "just know it" in their hearts. But, of course, that's what the fans of Crystal Mangum are basing their certain knowledge that she was raped by those rich white Duke boys. - May 18, 2011, 5:44:00 PM
Slwner, I haven't been here in a coon's age. You raise good questions for me, as a doubter, to rethink.

"It's the law of averages: the more women you interact with, the greater the chance that one will falsely accuse you of rape."
How dare you!
Nobody asks to be the victim of a false rape accusation! Blaming the poor victim detracts from the real problem which is the attitude of those making the false accusations. Strauss-Kahn should be free to be as promiscuous as he likes and demand no consequences!
...or is this concept only pertinent to one one crime- and one gender? - May 18, 2011, 8:19:00 PM

Like hell it doesn't. Try clearing the snot out and try again. - May 18, 2011, 8:59:00 PM
The moral of this sad story is that if you are a man in this society, you aren't safe. You can't even go to hotels on a regular basis without being put at risk by our wonderful legal system.
Nutty women, being above the law, can destroy you on a whim. - May 18, 2011, 9:01:00 PM

For crying ut loud - I just left my phone in the Aria last January...
Christ! What if I'm accused of rape?
They kindly mailed to to me...so they know my address!
Oh my God!
If I were only 70 years old and still able to rape women, I'd be in BIG trouble! - May 18, 2011, 9:42:00 PM
This case is quite complicated. I think we should follow our own advice and wait for the results.
Too many conflicting arguments. DSK is innocent. He is currently the accused in a rape. That's it. He is not falsely accused, nor is he a rapist.
It's like Shroedinger's Cat. Except we have to wait. - May 18, 2011, 10:21:00 PM
I agree with Zarko.
- May 18, 2011, 11:30:00 PM
9:42: why don't you joke some more about it, asshole? Yeah, being 70 years old makes you TOTALLY safe from FRAs.
Idiots like you are the reason why so many innocent men are in prison in this country. - May 18, 2011, 11:31:00 PM
My understanding is that one of the things he is accused of is fucking her in the ass (against her will).
So this really is pretty simple: is her asshole all torn up, like it would be if it was rape? Or is it not all torn up, like it would be if she were NOT raped?
You know, you might think that law enforcement would ask basic questions like this, before dragging a man's name through the mud. But it doesn't. Medical evidence gets VERY short shrift in our glorious legal system.
Common sense is nowhere to be found. - May 18, 2011, 11:35:00 PM
What would have prompted anyone to use a woman like this? Not a case of false rape, in my view.
How about the fact that she lives in an apt. that was set aside by the city for AIDS sufferers? And also has a teenage daughter to take care of? A female like this who can catch a cold and die very quickly due to the AIDS would be the very type who is desparate for money not just for herself but to take care of the daughter when she's gone.People in these situations may do anything and have nothing to lose.
And P.S.-don't believe anything you read in the papers.
And let me remind you that it is the defendant who has the rights not the accuser. The acuser is not being arrested,charged with a crime, jailed and put on trial.And freedom of the press does not mean they have a right to publish hearsay and defame a man before a trial.Freedom of the press mostly had to do with political speech not publishing defamatory gossip when a man is on trial. It also had to do with the press being able to sit in on government trials to ensure that secret trials weren't being conducted and everything was out in the open.A defendant's right to a fair unbiased trial trumps any right the press has to publish gossip and unfounded hearsay.
And why is it that in all of these "rape" trials that females seem to come out of the woodwork and claim that the guy did something to them 20 yrs. ago. It's prejudicial to even publish nonsense like that. - May 19, 2011, 12:07:00 AM

The defendent is SUPPOSED to have rights. But those rights have become a joke.
And sadly, the media is allowed to discriminate against the victims of FRAs, which they do all the time. It is considered a sin to even question a totally unsupported rape accusation against a man with no criminal history.
Our society sucks! - May 19, 2011, 9:25:00 AM

Its interesting, Im reading main stream media articles on Strauss, and it seems like the US media are kinda lynching him for his politics.
How did this turn into a political lynching, and is this a responsible act on the part of main stream media in the US, to be lynching the possible next president of a sovereign nation?? - May 20, 2011, 8:07:00 AM

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Omnijore Dog Joring System:
I've used the belt, harness, and leash for about six months now. I hike with my two huskies on it almost every day. On weekends this winter we used it for skijoring. All in all a great product. The harness fits the pups well. The belt fits me well. I was a fairly big guy to start and the belt adjusted to fit me then, and easily tightens up to fit my wife.
The two huskies pulling on the leash have not worn the bungee out noticeably in the time I've been using it. This was a fear of mine before purchasing.
All in all a great product and seemingly a great company. I will be buying other products from Ruffwear as my needs dictate.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Omnijore Dog Joring System:
I love this product. My wife and I own almost all of the Ruff wear line, but this one takes the cake, for sure. So far, we have only done trail running with the pack, but our dog gets pooped out quick! This is a lovely thing. It is great for building stamina in a dog. Some training required. Our dogs are accustomed to heeling, so the whole pulling wild and crazed is new to them. But, with some treats and clever training, we've got a pullin fool! I would however, make sure a competent person helps you size it. Our dogs wear a medium with the ruff wear packs, but a small in this. We have a Vizsla. She weighs about 50 lbs, and has a 27.5 in chest. She was swimming in the medium, and the small fits just right! Enjoy. This thing is great for all outdoors activities. Love it!

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Omnijore Dog Joring System:
Really Fun to use. My Siberia Husky loves it. I felt like it might not stay on the first time we went running on the beach but it was just fine. It was a bit of fun trying to get it on as you have to pull it over the head of your dog and pull his front paws through. I have some concerns about the quick release accidentally coming off but no problems yet. The pros are that running is very comfortable and hands free. I love the stretch that gives a break to sudden jolts and I really like that my dog is more relaxed and enjoys running more and he actually puts less pressure on his harness than the leash that he never liked.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Omnijore Dog Joring System:
Took my dog longboard joring on my skateboard and snowboard joring. I had much more fun in the snow, but I am also better at snowboarding than longboarding. I think my dog enjoyed using the harness in the snow more as well. A few stiches tore where the straps are sewn together near the loop you connect the leash to. Nothing that really harms performance. It is also great when we walk/ run uphill, I get a little boost from my dog. I love this product and I love Ruff Wear.

Bulger's lawyer says he needs more time
BOSTON (WHDH) -- James "Whitey" Bulger's defense lawyers said they will ask for more time to prepare for the former mob boss' trial.
Bulger's lawyers said they have so many documents to examine they won't get to read them all until May. The trial is set to begin in March.
Family members of victims are tired of the delays. They agree with prosecutors that Bulger's defense team is stonewalling.
"He's not working on looking through these documents and trying to fight the case. He's working on trying to stall it. He's using every excuse he can to do that," said Steven Davis, the brother of an alleged Bulger victim.
In a contentious hearing on Monday, a prosecutor claimed the defense is creating a "roadmap for delay." But J.W. Carney shot back that the U.S. Attorney's Office is guilty of a "shameful shenanigan designed to be wasting our time."
The families wonder if Bulger, 83, will live to stand trial.
"I'd be bummed. It'd be absolutely bummed. I want to know exactly what he knows," said Tom Donahue, the son of an alleged victim. "I want to know about all these dirty FBI agents."
Bulger's lawyers will argue the feds granted him from prosecution. Carney hasn't divulged his theory, but the first name of a federal official to surface in court documents is Jeremiah O'Sullivan. Before O'Sullivan died he headed up the New England Organized Crime Strike Force for the Justice Department.
Carney has sought documents about O'Sullivan and whether he made promises to Bulger in return for information on the Italian mafia.
Carney Jr. has said Bulger will testify about his claim he was given immunity to commit crimes while he was an informant.
In a letter dated last Friday, prosecutors claimed O'Sullivan testified under oath before congress that he never extended immunity to either Whitey or his partner, Stephen Flemmi.
Bulger, the former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, is accused of participating in 19 murders. He fled Boston in 1994 and remained one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives until his capture in Santa Monica, Calif., last year.

Galaxy extended its top-end Hall of Fame (HOF) brand extension to motherboards, and unveiled its flagship socket LGA1150 motherboard, the Z87 HOF. The board uses two PEX8747 x48 bridge chips, probably chained, to give out four PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots, all four of which stay at electrical x16, no matter how you populate them. The board uses a 16-phase VRM to power the CPU, which draws power from two 8-pin EPS connectors, in addition to the 24-pin ATX. The board takes advantage of its unique PCI-Express configuration to support 4-way SLI and CrossFireX. Sadly, the board doesn't impress quite as much with storage connectivity. You get four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, an mSATA/mPCIe, and an eSATA. DVI, HDMI, 8-channel HD audio, and gigabit Ethernet make for the rest of it. The board gives you plenty of overclocking features, such as onboard OC controls, dual-BIOS, voltage measurement-points, an OC module, and a feature-rich UEFI setup program.
Pretty. Your thread Title should be- Galaxy Shows off Z87 Hall of Fame Motherboard not Galaxy Shows [of] Z87 Hall of Fame Motherboard btarunr
i dunno, its weird name, maybe someday a manufacture gonna make LOL edition with bright yellow scheme on it
PEX8747, like nForce 200, features broadcast functions. In multi-GPU, each GPU has a full copy of all the data that goes into rendering a scene. PEX8747 takes one copy, and broadcasts it like a radio station downstream. So that x16 bottleneck is not as bad as it seems. Latency could be a problem, and that could lead to stuttering.
I've been waiting for an all black with white accent motherboard for a while now. sadly this means ill have to buy a haswell cpu as well.
Okay, I just want to correct your terminology because if you google PEX8747 and broadcast, you get this thread. You mean multicast, not broadcast. (Broadcast implies that all devices get it, multicast determines which of many gets a particular packet,) but I see what you mean. I took a gander at http://www.plxtech.com/download/file/1824 That's really only useful if you're going to have video cards on it and only video cards doing the same thing. I suspect performance would suffer if you had 3 cards and one of them was bitcoin mining or folding or if you put a non-graphics device on it. Who knows though. I would be interested to see if it could be saturated though and how it compares to having a dedicated 16/8/8/8 on skt2011 versus a shared 16 lanes for 4 cards on this. Clearly you would need a few beefy video cards to saturate that with graphics alone. I would love to see numbers though.
You mean how it only has 4 SATA ports and probably no external SATA chipsets? No extra USB 3.0 controller and probably no extra eSATA controller (right off the PCH maybe?) It does look a bit feature lean with the exception of the PLX chip.
On the bright side, you can install your single card in any slot without worrying about performance loss.
A single 8747 split to four x8 slots would have been nearly identical in performance. The only way I can think of to make two PEX8747 switches equal four x16 slots would be to give each one just eight uplink lanes. I would love to see a Z87 board use a PEX8780 80 port switch to provide four x16 slots with a x16 uplink, just as a why not. An 8780 is likely more than double the price of a 8747, but so what, the people that buy this are already paying top dollar.
Mmm, HOF board. Perfect match for HAF case. Just as the TUF board marries the TOF cases. Temple of Fame, obviously.
Good point. Which makes the whole thing pretty misleading really, as in effect it's more like 4*x8. In fact, with just one card, a single 8747 would have yielded higher performance.
Is this the first motherboard that Galaxy have come out with? Seems rather ambitious if it is indeed their first one. But very interesting
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7043/computex-2013-galaxy-expanding-into-motherboards-psus-ssds Anandtech says they are using a PEX8780 80 lane switch. Much love to Galaxy for trying this out.
You could tell by the number of surface-mounted components above each slot that they should have been x16 each. The bottom slot looks a bit weird to me though, so I kinda though it might be x16/x16/x16/x8
I knew they were all x16 but I figured it was from two PEX8747's. I count sixteen pairs of caps on the last slot. It's definitely quad x16.

More About End This Depression Now! by Paul R. KrugmanOverviewThe Great Recession is more than four years old and counting. Yet, as Paul Krugman points out in this powerful volley, "Nations rich in resources, talent, and knowledge all the ingredients for prosperity and a decent standard of living for all remain in a state of intense pain." How bad have things gotten? How did we get stuck in what now can only be called a depression? And above all, how do we free ourselves? Krugman pursues these questions with his characteristic lucidity and insight. He has a powerful message for anyone who has suffered over these past four years a quick, strong recovery is just one step away, if our leaders can find the "intellectual clarity and political will" to end this depression now.

Krugman (Fuzzy Math), winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, takes an edifying and often humorous journalistic approach to the current economic crisis in this accessible and timely study. Rather than provide a mere postmortem on the 2008 collapse (though relevant history lessons are provided), Krugman aims to plot a path out of this depression. He maintains that "We are suffering from a severe overall lack of demand;" as every purchase is also a sale, everyone's income is someone's spending , and few are currently spending. This "paradox of thrift," when everyone cuts back and tries to pay off old debt at the same time, ensures a stagnant economy—when no new debt is issued, the cycle continues, for one man's debt is another man's asset. Krugman suggests, then, that "the government spend where the private sector won't," à la FDR's workers' programs during the Great Depression. The problem, of course, arises when politics enters the equation—some view government intervention as a gateway to socialism, whereas others can't agree on appropriate "shovel-ready" projects to spend money on. Krugman has consistently called for more liberal economic policies, but his wit and bipartisanship ensure that this book will appeal to a broad swath of readers—from the Left to the Right, from the 99% to the 1%.

Many people spent at least part of their summer fishing but, chances are, few did nearly as well as Alabama's Tyler Kennedy, whose catches include a potential world-record grouper, a state-record bull shark and, most recently, a 948-pound tiger shark.
Kennedy, 21, who hails from a family of prolific anglers, is profiled this week in Field & Stream. His most dramatic catch, obviously, was that of the 14-foot tiger shark (pictured at right).
He was competing in a Gulf of Mexico tournament this month with his uncle, Michael Kennedy, and friend Brett Rutledge. The giant shark required three hours to land and was much too heavy to be hauled onto the 36-foot boat, so it was tied to an outside rail.
The 20-mile run back to port took five hours because the boat could only run at 5 mph.
"My uncle has a 36-foot Contender with three 250-horsepower Yamahas," Kennedy told Field & Stream. "It's kind of demoralizing to have to go 5 mph in a triple-engine boat."
The catch shattered the tournament record by 70 pounds but fell short of an Alabama record by 40 pounds.
However, had the catch been made a few days earlier Kennedy probably would own the record because the shark's stomach contained the skeleton of a freshly-digested 7-foot-long porpoise.
"If somebody had caught that shark a few days earlier, when that porpoise was fresh in there, it would have weighed 1,200 pounds at least," Kennedy said.
Earlier during the same tournament, Kennedy landed a 336-pound bull shark. The catch earned second place in the bull shark division but set an Alabama record for the species.
"Because the boat that caught the first-place bull shark was from Florida, it didn't qualify for the Alabama record," Kennedy explained. "You have to leave and return to port in a state to qualify for a state record."
Kennedy's most cherished catch was made in July, during a deep-water grouper expedition. Kennedy reeled in a 48.56-pound yellowedge grouper (pictured at right), which set a state record previously held by his uncle, Jonathan Graham, who was on the boat with Kennedy.
"He wasn't mad or anything, but on the way in you could tell he was a little down," Kennedy said. "But he was glad at least someone in the family had broken it."
The grouper catch has been submitted to the International Game Fish Assn. for world record consideration.
The current all-tackle record is a 46-pound, 2-ounce yellowedge grouper caught off Virginia Beach in 2008.
The IGFA typically takes several weeks to respond to record requests but Kennedy remains hopeful.
He might also be a little subdued, given that summer is almost over and he's set to return to Auburn University for his senior year as a chemical engineering major. But as Field & Stream points out, at least "he'll have plenty to talk about if someone asks what he did on his summer vacation."

As the holidays approach many people start decking the halls with wreaths, trees and lights.
A volunteer fire department in our region is ready to help you decorate for the season. For nearly a decade the volunteer fire department in Sulphur Springs, Tennessee has been selling holiday decorations.
"It is kind of odd for this location to sell Christmas trees, but we came up with it about eight or nine years ago to start selling Christmas trees for a fundraiser," says fire chief Keith Ellis.
The profits from the trees and wreaths go back to the fire department for equipment.
Customers say they they're glad that the money being raised is going back to help the local community. "We live here about a mile down the road so we came down here wanted to do business with them," says customer Joe Loven.
"Because they're out here risking their lives for us doing a really good thing, so we should always help out the local community," adds customer Tracy Jones.
It doesn't stop at just selling the trees, but the volunteer firefighters trim and prepare the trees as well.
They'll even deliver trees for customers. "We do free local delivery. We'll strap it on your car, we'll put it on the stand and if you need us to we will carry it into your house," adds Ellis.
Chief Ellis says it's just another way to serve the community while making sure customers have a very merry Christmas. "We know this time of year you got so much going on, so if we could just do something to make things a little easier for you with Christmas tree choice then we are happy to do that," adds Ellis.
The Sulphur Springs Fire Department will be selling trees and wreaths up until Christmas Eve, or until they run out of trees.

The University of New England was cited for failing to monitor its financial aid process, according to findings by the NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions. The university awarded financial aid packages during two academic years to student-athletes in a pattern clearly distinguishable from what was provided to all students at the university. Penalties in this case include two years of probation, a suspension for the director of athletics and forfeiture of the financial aid in question.
This case was resolved through the summary disposition process, a cooperative effort where the involved parties collectively submit the case to the Committee on Infractions in written form. The NCAA enforcement staff, university and involved individuals must agree to the facts of the case in order for this process to be utilized instead of having a formal hearing.
Violations involved a university Diversity Scholarship, which was intended to be awarded to applicants who demonstrated the ability to contribute to the cultural and ethnic diversity of the university community. Instead, the university awarded the Diversity Scholarship in larger dollar amounts to some student-athletes in comparison to the student body. In 2008-09, student-athletes comprised of 34 percent of the students receiving Diversity Scholarship funds, but were awarded 43 percent of the funds. On average, student-athletes received $2,039 more than students who did not participate in athletics. During the 2009-10 academic year student-athletes, comprising 27 percent of the total awardees, received 42 percent of the total funds awarded. While American awardees were limited to no more than $6,000, three international student-athletes received $12,000 while one was awarded $13,000, one received $17,000 and one received $20,500. Because the percentages were not closely equivalent to the amount of student-athletes within the general student body, the school's awards were in violation of Division III rules.
The university failed to monitor the admissions personnel involved in the determination of financial aid awards by failing to educate them regarding NCAA financial aid rules, according to the committee's findings. Further, the university failed to monitor athletics staff members who engaged in inappropriate communications with personnel involved in financial aid decisions. The committee noted that the violations of Division III financial aid rules were unintentional, however, members of the admissions, financial aid and athletics departments lacked an adequate understanding of the financial aid rules.
The penalties include:
The members of the Division III Committee on Infractions who reviewed this case include Dave Cecil, director of financial aid at Transylvania State; Amy Elizabeth Hackett, director of athletics at University of Puget Sound; Nancy Meyer, director of women's athletics at Calvin College; and Garnett Purnell, athletics director at Wittenburg University.


text: Home Politics Your Take: Why We Need Net Neutrality Too many black politicians and front organizations funded by telecommunications companies are working against the interests of African Americans, says the co-founder of ColorOfChange. By: James Rucker Posted: Dec. 2 2010 12:43 AM 0 James Rucker The Internet is the most democratic communications network ever created. In a world where our community cannot count on the mainstream media to tell our stories -- or on mainstream politicians to advocate for our needs -- the Internet has allowed us to organize, speak for ourselves and dismantle political barriers. The Internet did not become such a powerful force by accident -- it's because the Internet has worked from day one according to a key principle called net neutrality, which dictates that the companies who manage the flow of content on the Internet deliver every piece of content with the same speed and priority, regardless of who puts it on the Net. Your own personal website or blog can compete on an equal footing with the biggest companies. It's an open playing field that has made it possible for social and business entrepreneurs to thrive -- free from the corporate gatekeepers that have dominated traditional media like cable television, broadcast radio and widely available print publications. So what does any of this have to do with black people and political empowerment? In short, everything. Today we have a president who credits his ability to break through historic barriers to the open nature of the Internet. In the last several years, a healthy ecosystem of black voices has begun to emerge online -- black bloggers and columnists who, to a large degree, had no effective forum from which to speak in authentic voices and shape public debate. Through ColorOfChange.org, more than 800,000 people are connected to opportunities for political change. By definition, the work that we do at ColorOfChange goes against the status quo and attempts to disrupt entrenched power. Take our successful campaign to prevent the Congressional Black Caucus Institute from partnering with Fox News, our effort to force the story of the Jena 6 to be told (with everyday people providing $300,000 for their legal defense), or our campaign that has stripped Fox News' Glenn Beck of more than 100 of his major advertisers. Efforts like ColorOfChange would be impossible if we had to rely on traditional media because of the nature of our message or because of the prohibitively high costs of entry, but the open Internet allows us to make our voices heard and to form community. Net neutrality is the key to the power of the Internet, but it's under attack. Comcast, AT&T and Verizon -- the most powerful broadband providers -- are trying to undo how the Internet works in order to increase their profits. These companies want to create a tiered Internet where only those with the deepest pockets can guarantee that their voices are easily heard. Those who can pay more (think big companies) will have their Web content sped up, while those who can't (think scrappy activists and bloggers) will have their content slowed down, if it arrives at all. President Obama strongly supports net neutrality, and so do most members of the FCC. With so much at stake for black communities, you would expect black leaders and civic organizations to line up in support of an open Internet. Think again. Many of our nation's leading civil rights groups -- like the NAACP, the National Urban League and LULAC -- and influential members of the Congressional Black Caucus have signed on to letters and made statements that have had the effect of supporting AT&T, Verizon and Comcast in their efforts to kill net neutrality. In some cases, the leaders and groups don't seem to understand the actual issues in play or don't know how they are being used. In others it seems to be a matter of long-standing relationships or the need to maintain the flow of corporate dollars. AT&T and Verizon have been in our communities for years. They have provided jobs and have done a great job hiring and promoting black workers. They have provided millions of dollars to community institutions and programs. That has earned them a degree of trust with many organizations that have now gone to bat for them, even though these companies do not have a good record of making sure their core services are affordable or accessible to those with low incomes or in remote areas.

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted One week ago
[This is a re-post of my review from the 2013 New York Film Festival. Inside Llewyn Davis opens today in limited release.]
It's a terrible thing to feel like you're not the protagonist of your own story—to simply exist with nowhere to go. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a man who doesn't fit into his own life, and in the Coen Brothers' most melancholy film to date, Inside Llewyn Davis, we're taken on the moving journey of a folk singer trying to succeed in the right place at the wrong time. He can't create a future from the songs of the past, and he lives ambivalently in the present. Toning down the stylized hyperrealism of their previous movies, Joel and Ethan Coen have created a work that still bears their signature, yet takes them and us to a restrained, yet tonally and emotionally frustrating place. Anchored by a subtle, touching performance from Isaac, as well as beautiful renditions of folk songs, Inside Llewyn Davis is a somber look at a wandering musician.

On 1 January 2011, the ethanol concentration of 95 octane petrol was raised in Finland in order to ensure that the legislative transport biofuel obligation will be met. The increase in petrol ethanol concentration is one of many measures aimed at achieving the environmental targets set for the transport sector.
The bio ethanol concentration of E10 petrol may fluctuate and be 10% v/v at its highest. Alternatively, the E10 petrol may also contain ethers and other alcohols permissible under the Fuels Quality Directive. The E10 petrol is suitable for use in most of the current vehicle stock (see E10 compatible motors) running on 95 octane petrol.
At least two petrol grades are available on the market: 95 octane 95 E10, and 98 octane 98 E5. The latter may contain up to 5% v/v ethanol. It is suitable for engines that are not compatible with E10. The petrol grade with up to 5% v/v ethanol will continue to be available for many years to come because the Finnish vehicle stock is quite aged. Contrary to some rumours, there are no plans to withdraw it from the market in 2013.
The biofuel minimum distribution requirements adopted in Finland do not automatically imply that after the introduction of the E10 petrol, new petrol grades with even higher ethanol contents would quickly follow.
The biofuel minimum distribution requirements can be met by carrying out several alternative measures, for instance by adding bio components to diesel or by increasing the use of E85 ethanol blends. If the bio components are manufactured from logging waste or refuse, the resulting emission reductions can be double credited. Due to this, new petrol grades with 15-20% v/v ethanol will not be needed for many years to come.

Call it the cut-up-food-diet: We feel full faster, and eat less later, when our food is served in small pieces.
It works in both college students and lab rats, according to a study by Devina Wadhera and colleagues at Arizona State University.
"Cutting up energy-dense foods into smaller pieces may be beneficial to dieters who wish to make their meal more satiating while also maintaining portion control," Wadhera says in a news release.
The researchers first tried this on lab rats. The animals were trained to run through a maze. Then the animals were offered a reward for running quickly through the maze. For 20 rats, the reward was a single chunk of food. For another 20 rats, the reward was 30 small pieces of food weighing the same as the large piece offered to the other rats.
After 12 trips through the maze, the result was clear. Rats preferred -- and worked harder for -- the same amount of food served in smaller pieces.
Okay, it's easy to fool a rat. But what about college students?
Wadhera's team split 301 male and female students into two groups. One was offered a whole bagel covered with cream cheese. The other group was offered the same kind of bagel, cut into four pieces and covered with the same amount of cream cheese.
The group that got the whole bagel ate a little more of it than those who got the cut-up bagel. But the real difference came 20 minutes later, when all of the students were offered a free meal.
Those who'd eaten the cut-up bagel -- even though they'd eaten a little less -- ate less of the free meal.
"Perhaps cutting up foods into multiple, bite-sized pieces may perceptually look like more and therefore elicit greater satiation than a single-piece food portion," Wadhera and colleagues suggest.
The study was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior, held this week in Zurich, Switzerland.
These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.
