Cochrane CollaborationThis international organization supports informed health care decision-making by preparing, updating, and making available systematic reviews of effects of health practices. There is broad consensus about the high overall quality of Cochrane systematic reviews, which are prepared and updated by over 50 groups focusing on different topical areas. The Pregnancy and Childbirth and the Neonatal review groups are of special interest to maternal and newborn care. Some reviews from other review groups include relevant content. The Cochrane Library (updated monthly) is the main product of the Cochrane Collaboration. This exceptional resource of "independent high-quality evidence for health care decision making" includes a series of databases. In addition to The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (with over 4,000 systematic reviews or protocols that are being used to develop systematic reviews), this publication includes a register of controlled trials (CENTRAL, with about 500,000 records), a methodology bibliography (with over 7,500 records), the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), Health Technology Assessment Database (HTA), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED), and more. Work to systematically identify, summarize, and present the best available evidence about effects of maternity practices began in the 1970s, led to the establishment of the Cochrane Collaboration in 1993, and continues through its Pregnancy and Childbirth and Neonatal Groups. This clinical area ushered in the era of evidence-based practice and as a result has a relatively rich body of systematic reviews from the Cochrane Collaboration and others.

Access the full report and supplementary materials Listening to MothersSM III (May 2013) is the third national survey exploring women's experiences in pregnancy and childbirth. Commissioned by Childbirth Connection, conducted by Harris Interactive, and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the survey polled 2,400 women who gave birth in U.S. hospitals from 2011 to 2012. Results show that medically intensive experiences are typical, and evidence-based practices are underutilized. Childbearing women need better support and knowledge to navigate their maternity care.

Great quality lanyard/reel combo
By Nicole B
from Mountain View, CA
Best Uses
Comments about idville Black Lanyard Badge Reel Combo:
I was a little skeptical on these but the reel/lanyard combo has been a real hit. The thick strap makes it look much more professional than the standard thin rope lanyards. Snaps on the reel seem to hold better than the belt clip reels I purchase.

By Kris

We love the breakaway feature for our employees in the shop. Just what we were looking for and at a decent price.

December 13, 2013
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A federal judge in Alabama has denied a request to delay a trial involving college football coach Tommy Tuberville in a civil lawsuit filed by investors seeking to recover money lost in business deals.
Tuberville, a former Auburn University and Texas Tech coach, is now the head football coach at the University of Cincinnati.
U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson this month denied Tuberville's request to delay the trial. It is scheduled to start Aug. 5.
The lawsuit alleges that a hedge fund Tuberville helped manage defrauded clients of more than $1.7 million.
Attorneys for Tuberville and his former business partner, John David Stroud, have denied the allegations.

Not sure if this is best directed at Basilisk support or Steam support, so I'm trying both.
I purchased and downloaded Eschalon Book I on my MacBook, but I'm unable to launch the game. After I click on "Play" in my Games Library, a small Steam window appears, titled "Eschalon: Book I - Steam", with the message "Preparing to Launch Eschalon: Book I.."
This window closes with no further messages or error codes, and I'm left at the Eschalon page in my Steam games library.
Here are my system details:
OS X Version 10.5.8
MacBook Model 3,1
Steam Client Application built Jun 30 2010 at 14:43:46
Steam API v009
Steam Package versions: 1278013843 / 1278013843
I've tried the following corrective actions:
re-starting Steam
re-starting Steam in offline mode
verifying integrity of game cache
applying all OS X software and firmware updates and reboot
deleting local content and re-downloading the game
None of the above steps fixed the issue. Any suggestions on what else I could try?


text: Home Culture Who Won Chris Brown's Latest Twitter Fight? Not battered women or anyone who advocates for them, that's for sure. By: Helena Andrews Posted: Nov. 27 2012 12:05 AM 0 Chris Brown (Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment) (The Root) -- Not too long ago, one of my best friends sent me this frantic text: "OMG I'm at the office and just saw that security guard who looks EXACTLY like Darren. I'm totally freaking out. I'm getting a taser!!" You would think this Darren guy had done her some terrible wrong. That he had hurt her so personally and deeply that she should not only fear but also rally against him. But no, "Darren" (not his real name) was my college boyfriend, a first love who after four semesters and as many breakups would devolve into my first real-life bogeyman. "Things" ended beyond badly. The police were involved, and after all these years, so are all my friends. To this day, Darren is brought up in irreverent (though hushed) tones whenever we're sitting around reminiscing about undergrad life. Not only does he represent my biggest mistake and lesson, but he's also an easy punch line and parable. Soon after I got that text reminding us of him once again, we did some Google stalking and confirmed our suspicions that Darren was still "nuts." The villain in a story rarely gets redemption because if he did, the rest of us would be left wanting. I wonder if the same could be said of the celebrity villains whose bad behavior goes through a predictable 24-hour news cycle that ticks from shocking to sad to Twitter stalking. Take, for example, the recent dustup between comedian Jenny Johnson and embattled entertainer Chris Brown. Johnson has a history of "hating" Brown. She "frequently makes fun at the expense of controversial R&B singer Chris Brown," according to an article in the Huffington Post about how Brown recently replied to Johnson's regular quips. Basically, the man went a little overboard -- if by "overboard" you mean tweeting vulgar, violent and threatening "jokes." On Sunday Brown tweeted, "I look old as [f--k]! I'm only 23 ... ," which sounds innocent enough if you don't have an allergic reaction to everything Chris Brown does. Johnson, who has tweeted about Brown since 2009, saw that as her opening, replying, "I know! Being a worthless piece of [sh--] can really age a person. RT @chrisbrown: I look old as [f--k]! I'm only 23 ... " Brown then began barraging Johnson with several tweets about oral sex and bodily functions. It was gross, to say the least, and totally misogynistic, to say the most. For her part Johnson, who once wrote, "If I take a verbal shot at Chris Brown via my Twitter page, I know the rest of the day will be filled with Team Breezy @ replies," refused to back down. She corrected his grammar (apparently the colloquialism of whore, "ho," doesn't have an "e"), threw out her own f-bombs and tweeted back an MTV News story about the details of Brown's arrest for beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. And where was Rihanna's e-alter ego during all this? She was Instagramming Bible verses. "Be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you," read a highlighted portion of the Scripture she messaged to her 26.8 million followers.

That means only one -- time to make money or child pay this out he's bringing us a stock in the wireless communications industry so Charles I did OK if Tracy was there -- -- -- like -- that again because I don't know -- real ball sucks though politics.
Again today -- -- crossing into digital the wireless industry pioneer that's their words not -- but you know I did the company that they just put together a whole bunch of patents for the wireless industry.
It's always things like you know one week you don't have to put the money -- Samsung the next week apple.
You know what about that rim will they come back they do business of all of them they do patents and they just had an amazing quarter the thing is the stock can be extraordinarily volatile -- -- here's the bottom line.
-- point three billion handsets will be sold Tony -- team.
They're gonna have a piece of the action across the board in different areas and I you know listen I will say though execution has been a problem for this company had just had some management changes you just have to management changes because of that and that's one of the reasons the stock has been under pressure but for -- I think that's also created an opportunity but of course on this one.
You know let the caveat that -- can be.
Volatile and I would suggest anyone in it or anyone who likes it -- -- 35 dollars as a stop loss.
On the upside I think the next leg up to picket the 46 and longer term if they fulfill some of this promise in the 51 dollars there.
Time for right now for holding stocks -- is coming out -- different plays but.
How are you feeling about holding this in some of these -- Ball only the majority the majority -- -- that's a great question majority atomic come on this on the and I do these hits.

You know -- don't have to worry about I'm out you know so double digit gains on the is particularly -- period of time.
I'm I'm probably gonna take half if not all off the table.
And again sometimes they'll come on in and do I don't.

Yeah thanks child I don't see look at that nice -- on an ancient now.

Drill, Don't Kill: Lessons From Two Underground Lakes
This month, Russian scientists will nearly reach the waters of Lake Vostok, which have been sealed more than two miles under Antarctica's surface for at least 15 million years. If all goes well, the drill will never touch the fragile ecosystem.
Instead, pressurized lake water will burst through the last few feet of ice and freeze in the borehole. The scientists will return next winter (Antarctica's summer) to test the frozen lake water for signs of life. In a few years, a team from the U.K. will drill down to another subglacial ecosystem, Lake Ellsworth, by applying a jet of hot water drawn and recirculated from the melting ice. The Europa Jupiter System Mission team will be watching closely. They plan to send a lander to drill into the moon Europa's ice-enclosed oceans to look for life.
It's one thing to contaminate pristine lakes here on Earth, but it's quite another to contaminate an entire alien sea.
@Auroria "The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed."
If coast line in the southern part of the map is meant to be Antarctica, it is attached to South America. Not exactly what I would call perfect. If by perfect you mean: does not resemble, then yes, perfectly detailed.
Actually, the southern land mass in the map is the coast of South America bent to the east so that it would fit the parchment.
An opinion is good, but when a person adds a link, it's like adding meat to the potatoes.
Nice response, thank you.
See life in all its beautiful colors, and
from different perspectives too!
Maybe now this stupid thing will let me post, it rejected me like 5x even though I KNOW I put it the right CAPTCHA code... anywho...
Anyone remember Deep Horizon? Yeah, it was the little oil rig responsible for the Gulf disaster. When the lake breaks through it probably will continue to spew out water, it won't squirt out a little water that freezes in the borehole and thats it. The ice will probably keep exerting pressure, sinking into the lake (rather staying in a position of "floating" on top of it) and a giant sinkhole will form. The center of the sinkhole will be the weakest point, full of all kinds of fractures, and the lake may even begin pressing up through those cracks formed as the ice broke into large chunks. Of course, over time the lake will stop churning and the surface will refreeze, but not before creating a giant caldera-like structure.
My two cents...
thank goodness you are here on the internet, providing your vastly superior knowledge and expertise from the comfort of your armchair cosy in your living room! however would the scientific community have avoided such a catastrophe were it not for your invaluable input? so glad you posted your comment, which the professional establishment will no doubt take under advisement immediately. phew! crisis averted
good job you came across this article, or science may have been forever damaged by such a foolish error. you rule :)

This was not a straightforward installation; I guess most geeks would be able to unzip a .RAR file, but Windows 7 could not unzip this without optional software.
Why did they have to make it so hard? I did not complete the installation and spent more time than I like fiddling with it.

Pippy's serenade
Another photo of Justin Timberlake at his wedding. This is probably the best one out of all we've seen. Obviously the shot of him ME ME ME-ing all over head wasn't ideal. And the one of him kissing her cheek on the alternate cover didn't show enough of his face. You can see his face here but amazingly enough he doesn't look like a smug dick for a change. Full Story
Justin Timberlake's homeless wedding gift
It's Pippy Day on LaineyGossip.com! Just what he wanted! I posted a blind riddle yesterday -- click here if you missed it. Gawker has the video. The video is exactly how I described it. Homeless people taped AS A JOKE wishing Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel a happy wedding. Full Story
Justin Timberlake's pink dream wedding cover
In my coverage of Justin Timberlake's special day, you'll note I've not really made mention of his wife. And that's not a slight on the wife but more an observation about him: when is it ever NOT about Justin Timberlake? Look at this cover. Look at him taking up all the attention on this cover. Full Story
Gwen's 10th anniversary
Bauer, Thomas Rabsch/Getty
Gwen Stefani married Gavin Rossdale 10 years ago on September 14th. You remember her dress, right? Galliano. And pink. 10 years later, Anne Hathaway married Adam Shulman in a lightly pinked dress by Valentino. And now word is Justin Timberlake's wife did the same in a pink and white gown by Giambattista Valli with a "princess-like silhouette". Full Story
Who did you sell to?
Last week Freedom To Marry reported that Anne Hathaway had announced that she'd be donating profits from the sale of her wedding photos to organisations advocating for same sex marriage. Which is awesome (even though I find the sourcing for the report really confusing because the Freedom To Marry article links back to the sometimes sketchy contactmusic.com Full Story
Mrs Timberlake waving
As you know, Justin Timberlake's dream wedding happened in Italy on Friday. JT and his wife spent most of the weekend at the resort and left yesterday, presumably for their honeymoon. Mrs Timberlake was photographed walking around the grounds of the hotel before their departure. And on Wednesday we'll get to see what she wore. Full Story
Blake Lively > Justin Timberlake

This is what I wrote yesterday morning re: Justin Timberlake's Italian wedding: "At press time (Thursday, 7am PT), while almost every publication has made at least a small mention of the upcoming event, nothing from PEOPLE Magazine. Full Story
One more sleep
Until Justin Timberlake's big Italian fairytale wedding. All week friends and family have been in the south of Italy enjoying picnics, bike rides, beach time, barbecues, and fireworks. Here's Pipsy yesterday at cocktail hour. Tonight there's a rehearsal dinner per standard wedding procedure. Full Story
Justin's perfect wedding week
It's happening this weekend, Justin Timberlake's dream wedding. Most the guests had arrived in Italy by last night. You can see a shot of Andy Samberg in one of these photos attached. There was a fireworks celebration. The location? Southern Italy. Most outlets are withholding the location - a small town in Southern Italy - out of competition with each other but also because they don't want to get sh-t on for sending the paparazzi and the crazy fans down there. Full Story
JT's Italian Wedding
US Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands today, that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake will marry in Italy on Saturday. Italian papers are saying it's happening in Southern Italy in an olive grove (source Full Story
Countdown to Blake's wedding reveal
PPNY /Splash
Blake Lively has no movie projects lined up, nothing on her work schedule after wrapping the final season of Gossip Girl. But the way they're managing the release of her wedding spread in Martha Stewart Weddings, it may as well be a premiere. And it's working. I can't wait to see these pictures. Full Story
The Best Celebrity Wedding Guest List?
Please. Alan Rickman was at Stanley Tucci's wedding. And Meryl Streep. And Colin Firth. And Patricia Clarkson. We don't have to talk about this anymore. He wins. Tucci married Felicity Blunt a few weeks ago in the US but celebrated the occasion in London this weekend with a ceremony and reception. Full Story
Annie gets married
And... no PEOPLE Magazine exclusive? If so, I feel like they wouldn't have had to use a pap photo - click here to see their article on the event from the same series you're seeing here. Then again, selling her wedding to PEOPLE, or to any weekly, would be kinda down-market for Anne Hathaway. Full Story

While it's not something I'm proud of, I've got plenty of hangovers under my belt. See, despite all of my healthy practices—yoga, deep breathing, clean cosmetics, brown rice and kale eating—I'm just not that great at saying no to that third or fourth drink once I get going. Bless those of you who are—and damn those of you who are immune to hangovers altogether! Apparently you exist, and you are lucky. But while I am working on my to-don't list (new rule: don't drink before dinner!), I've also concluded that the only thing worse than a hangover is the guilt and self-loathing that can come with it.
And where does that take most of us? Why, straight to the couch with a big bag of chips or some other crap we're craving that can leave us feeling worse than before as we try desperately to fill that hangover hole in our hearts. This got us thinking: Short of avoiding hangovers altogether (genius!), there has to be a more holistic approach to dealing with them when they happen. So, since we know there are no silver bullets for too much booze anyways, here are our top ten healthy tips for healing after a night of hard partying.
Got any to add?
P.S. Have a great holiday weekend, don't drink too-too much, and we'll be back with an awesome deal from NuboNau next Friday.
Have some miso soup with your eggs. This is totally a thing in Japan. Miso soup replaces a lot of things our bodies need to feel better: water, sodium, and other nutrients depleted by the diuretic effects of the alcohol. Because it's a fermented food that contains healthy bacteria, miso can also aid with digestion. Too much alcohol is known to disrupt the stomach's lining and can often result in unpleasant digestive side effects—let's leave it at that. Oh and the cysteine in eggs breaks down the hangover-causing toxin acetaldehyde—so they really are a good breakfast choice post-boozing (and don't skip the yellows).
Take a handful of omega 3s—and then repeat. There's not much omegas aren't good for. Take them when you get home; take them when you wake up; take them take them take them. Alcohol causes inflammation (which is at the root of most health problems), and Omegas are proven to fight that inflammation a serious way. They will also help combat some of the unpleasant side effects of alcohol on your face—like dry, aggro, blotchy skin. Just trust us on this one.
Drink kombucha tea. Yeah, the weird stuff with the floaties at the bottom that actually can contain a bit of alcohol itself. Maybe it's a hair-of-the-dog thing, but kombucha absolutely makes us feel better when we have a hangover. Again, it's fermented, which means it's really good for your sad little tummy. And if you don't believe us just ask more seasoned hangover experts like Lindsay Lohan and the ladies at Jezebel.
Have sex or a just good cuddle. We've said it lots of times: Physical contact releases oxytocin and other happy-making hormones. And feeling cuddly and warm about the world beats out feeling glum and self-punishing. The trick is you have to do it with someone you like because, most of the time time, sex with someone you don't like is probably not going to help anything—and definitely not your hangover.
Get some body work. If there's no one to curl up with at the moment, try a professional. Actually, try a professional anyways. I always forget this one, but a good massage makes a planet of difference. Maybe that's because massage also releases happy hormones, or that one massage is proven to seriously boost your immune system with more white blood cells.
Try some hydrotherapy. One of my favorite activities—hungover or not—is hitting up a Korean spa here in Los Angeles. While these spas offer great massages and scrubs, I usually just pay the minimum to enjoy their hot and cold tubs, steam rooms and saunas. The act of going from hot water to cold water, and back again, is so rejuvenating. It increases circulation and toxin elimination—some even believe that immersion in cold water gives a kick to the old immune system, which has some scientific support in human and animal studies (though it definitely needs more research). If you have a bath and a shower at home, you can duplicate the spa experience. A few drops of eucalyptus oil into the cold bath is a nice touch—or make the bath hot and the shower cold. Very important: Because this process will also make you sweat, you must HYDRATE. Make a little lemon or cucumber water to feel extra spa-y and kind to yourself.
Do some exercise—but just a little bit! The camps are divided on this, but here's our take: If exercise makes you feel better then you should do it. Again though, hydration is key here, and it is important that you not overdo it. Exercise increases circulation, helps elimination, and releases a cocktail of mood-boosting hormones. The few times I've forced myself to do it with a hangover, it's totally helped. From a psychological point of view, if you're a bit of a type A, it will also let you feel more OK about taking the rest of the day to chill (which we encourage).
Have a banana/blueberry/kale/lemon smoothie. Antioxidants. Potassium. Natural sugars. Vitamins. Digestive enzymes. These are things that actually really help heal a hangover! Get thee to a green smoothie—it has to be made fresh though, not those plastic bottles of green stuff next to juice in the grocery store.
Drink coconut water from a coconut. We all know by now that coconut water is nature's Gatorade—just way better. According to this TIME piece, it has the same five electrolytes found in human blood; that sports drink we just mentioned only has two. Pshaw. Also, it's been used in medical emergencies. I don't know about you, but I've had hangovers that could almost qualify. We advocate getting a real green coconut if you can—many healthfood stores offer them with a straw—because whole foods are always better, right Mr. Pollan?
Enjoy your hangover. Come again? That's right, you heard me. There are some great reasons to have a hangover: You needed a break anyways. You haven't taken a sick day in months. You can't remember the last time you watched daytime television. There's nothing you have to do that can't wait until tomorrow. You still haven't watched Country Strong. Sundays are for rest anyways. Nothing important ever happens on a Tuesday. In other words: Let yourself off the hook. Besides, the only person mad at your hangover is you.

By Bret Strelow
SANFORD - Scott Wood made 91 percent of his free-throw attempts as an N.C. State senior.
After he missed one in the opening half of the ACC Barnstorming Tour stop at Lee County High School on Monday night, North Carolina senior Dexter Strickland summoned 10-year-old Wolfpack fan Jackson Lamb onto the court from his front-row seat.
Lamb stepped to the line and drilled the shot.
"Everyone was screaming, 'Jackson! Jackson!' " Lamb said. "I was under a lot of pressure."
The Barnstormers' exhibition against a team of Lee County all-stars was relatively pressure free, with Duke's Mason Plumlee scoring 37 points to lead his group of college seniors in a 131-83 victory. The large crowd was treated to an entertaining show for a good cause.
The Ronald McDonald House receives a portion of the proceeds, and the game-worn jersey from Ryan Kelly's 36-point performance against Miami was raffled off to raise money for his favorite charity. Kelly and Duke teammate Seth Curry, who are recovering from recent surgeries, were both in attendance and on crutches.
"It's been fun to be around everybody and get to know them off the court, guys I've been playing against my whole career," Curry said.
Fun was the key word Monday, to the point that Lee County players laughed off all of the one-sided calls. The officials managed to be Carolina refs and Duke refs at the same time, signaling for three points after Strickland's toe-on-the-line jumpers and ignoring celebrity coach Phil Ford's move to put six players on the court at once. One official even threw an alley-oop pass to Plumlee.
Not only did Lamb upstage Wood by making his free throw, 10-year-old McRae Owen attempted the next one and banked in her shot. The 6-foot-11 Plumlee managed to get posterized on a slam, albeit as a prop that helped former Elizabeth City State standout Angelo Sharpless win the halftime dunk contest.
Sharpless, who is 6-4, hurdled Plumlee and hammered home a one-handed jam.
"That kind of wins the dunk contest everywhere we go," Plumlee said with a laugh.
Plumlee made that revelation in between halftime bites of a pizza slice he had obtained from the concession stand. This didn't have the intensity of a Duke-Carolina game, needless to say.
Plumlee made two 3-pointers, and Wood converted almost as many dunks as 3s. Sharpless, though, emerged as the crowd favorite with his high-flying antics. Standing behind the top of the key during one play, he slammed the ball off the floor, sprinted past two defenders on a rim run and dunked his creative self-pass.
High school senior Matthew Maness, who was a standout for nearby Union Pines, had the privilege of playing on the college team and sharing the court with Plumlee. Maness' most memorable moment: an alley-oop pass to Sharpless.
"Playing high school ball was fun," Maness said, "but coming out here with these guys, it was a lot of fun playing with them."
It was just as enjoyable for everyone watching.

Cooler Master launched the Eisberg 240L Prestige liquid CPU cooler. What sets it apart from the Graham's number other closed-loop CPU coolers in the market is its exposed copper-fin radiator, micro-channel matrix in the business end of the block, and pressure-enhancing jetstream technology. The cooler consists of a block+pump component, and a 280 x 124 x 30 mm radiator that can hold up to four 120 mm fans in push-pull configuration, although Cooler Master includes two. The two components are joined by pre-fitted flexible coolant tubing. The block features a port that allows you to change the coolant. Slated for market release soon, the Eisberg 240L Prestige is priced over 150€. Find a review at the source. Source: Ocaholic
From what I was told at CES last year, those are compression fittings, and this kit breaks down so that you can add a GPU block into it as well.
It looks like you can detach tubes as well. And considering the pump size, it might be slightly more powerful than ones used on other closed loop coolers. Though, how would you vent out the air when replacing the coolant? I mean, how can you make sure there isn't any air left in it (air is bad in a water cooler).
I would rather for new CORSAIR H100i, They are pioneer in this and if I consider to pay 160 for closed water cooling than Swiftech H2O-X20 Edge HD Series is best option maybe... easy add one EVGA HC waterblock plus. I don't like this pump...CORSAIR make that nicer...
You do know Corsair do not make any of the coolers. They are not Pioneers in this. Coolit makes the H80/H100 for them. Same goes for Asetek which makes the H50/H70. Circle pump mount is Asetek and Square is Coolit. That how you tell who makes what. This mentality about products is just bad. people really needs to learn. They are the only 2 companies out there that makes the closed loop system. The CM version is by far better as it uses cooper rad instead of aluminum, which makes dissipating heat much better. Another is that the Eisberg come pre-filled and just install it. The Swiftech H2O-X20 Edge HD, you still need to plug everything in, fill it and test it. Some people just do not want to deal with that and just make thing easier on them.
I know CORSAIR not make cooler, Worker in Mercedes not work in steel mill to. Maybe is easy if I always say I choose them because manufacturer for them make nicer models. But I mean this nicer than this and If I mean pioneer I mean first CORSAIR than Zalman, Thermaltake, Enermax, CoolerMaster,... I don't know who make first CORSAIR or Antec first model but fot me CORSAIR is pioneer and I believe only in CORSAIR abut leakage problem. Their technical support only is enough reliable for me to make liquid on expensive HW. I don't want to chase for some CM and Thermaltake if something happen... I think this Eisberg is maybe better performanse than H80 and H80i.
Liking the aesthetics and quality insurrance (ie. support) of the Corsair Hydro models better does not make them a pioneer nor a better performer by default... I believe Coolit already sold some of their models in the retail channel before Corsair did, Asetek however was OEM only (and still is). Rest assured that the better pump, copper radiator (not cooper ) and micro-channel matrix lead to better results as the H100 and H80. The OCaholic review shows that it outperforms the Silver Arrow and Phanteks dual-tower HST's.
cant wait to see this put through the paces..... res, pump, and coldplate all in one and mod-able??? tweekers dream....i love messing with LCSs
no air left in if you fill it like before installing it, just shake a bit the radiator and open the fill port one time or two times.
I think this approach at semi-closed loop has gone too far, the H100 is a good product priced reasonably and that is the last step before a custom loop in my honest opinion. I mean a Swiftech APD comboed with a radiator is probably better than this, I'll throw a bone, Swiftech should sell APD packages!
Thanks for sharing that link since it really does clarify Corsair's stance on the entire "you just stick a sticker on it" comments that come up inevitably with these. The rest of the thread is pretty interesting especially the Corsair rep's additional comments on the topic of re-branding.
I'm all for a semi-closed loop. I have these nice tubing holes on the back of my case begging to be used.

So what characterises a Rapha Continental ride? The Rapha Continental is not touring. The Rapha Continental will take you through spectacular scenery; it may even allow you to savour authentic artisan cuisine. But the Rapha Continental is about riding hard. It's about riding far and riding fast. The Rapha Continental is about being tested: by distance; by duration; and by the mishaps, mechanicals – and crashes – that occur precisely when it seems things can't get any worse. The Rapha Continental is about those moments familiar to every tired rider, those moments when you feel your sanity fading with the sunlight.

Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) describes the use of two power saving techniques (dynamic frequency scaling and dynamic voltage scaling) used to save power in embedded systems including cell phones. This type of power saving is different from what most of us generally think about like standby or hibernate power states. All of these are useful of course. You can reduce the power consumed … Read More

Just about all the embedded CPU manufacturers produce evaluation boards employing their devices with a suitable selection of peripherals.These boards are generally offered at a very reasonable price and are readily available, along with good software support from vendors like Mentor Embedded. So, what use are these boards to the embedded developer, who may be looking at the design of custom hardware? … Read More
Most of the time, I subscribe to the view that "the only stupid question is the one you did not ask". However, I do have trouble with a question that I have been asked countless times at trade-shows, seminars etc. The question is "How much memory does Nucleus RTOS need?" It is not that this is a stupid question. It is very sensible to be fully aware of resource utilization with … Read More
Once again, I am thinking about embedded software and low power design, as I have discussed before. I still find it interesting that a characteristic of electronic devices, which until only recently would have been considered purely a hardware issue, is now very much on the agenda for software developers. The challenge now is to keep up with the capabilities provided by the chip makers … There … Read More
Last week, I attended the Embedded Developers' Forum in Munich, Germany. This is an increasingly common type of event – a small conference, with a somewhat broad subject coverage, with multiple streams offering a greater level of specialization. In this case, there were about 4 "mini-conferences". I was presenting in part of the Embedded Software event. Another set of streams … Read More
I have often observed that the world of embedded software is usually dominated by a small number of "fashionable" topics – technology that everybody is talking and/or concerned about. The key one just now, which I have discussed before, is the influence that software has on device power consumption. This is a topic to which I will certainly return. A number of the Mentor Embedded … Read More
An article by my colleague Faheem Sheikh has just been published in EE Times, which covers multicore thread synchronization.

Nowadays, there is a perception that the higher end embedded CPU is dominated by ARM. Obviously, these devices are very popular, as evidenced by the various ARM Tech Con events around the world. However, I remember the world before ARM, when "embedded 32-bit device" meant Motorola 68000 family. Motorola Semiconductor became Freescale, who are still a force to be reckoned with. Freescale's … Read More
I have posted a couple of times recently [like here] about a recent webinar that I conducted on measuring RTOS performance. This is a topic that appears to be of significant interest to most RTOS users, so I thought it might be a good time to pick up on a key detail of the issue. My colleague Rizwan Rasheed suggested a little while ago that the measurement and specification of RTOS interrupt latency … Read More
As I mentioned previously, I presented a Web seminar last week. The topic was the measurement of RTOS performance. To be frank, I was unsure how popular this might be, though I have found that, at conferences, the topic seems to draw a reasonable audience, so I was quietly optimistic. As it turned out, there was a very good attendance, with lots of questions, which kept me busy right up until the end … Read More
There is still a common misconception that a real time system is simply one that responds quickly to demands. Although a real time system may, indeed, be fast, its key characteristic is predictability. A real time system is deterministic – its response to an event will occur in a timely fashion, neither too quickly nor too slowly. It is common to use a real time operating system [RTOS - like … Read More
I was having some trouble with my Internet connection recently. I will probably never know exactly what was wrong [as ADSL is, for intents and purposes, magic], but investigating the problem was interesting. I am not a networking specialist, so I would expect that messing with the settings inside a router would be hard, but the manufacturers have made it very simple. I began to wonder why there are … Read More

I am not really sure that I should be promoting this, but here goes … When I was at ESC the other week, I made the mistake of not hiding or looking frantically busy at some point.

I do not think that this one is going … Read More
I have historically been somewhat skeptical about open source software [OSS]. I am always wary of anything that is "free" and subscribe to the TANSTAAFL ["there ain't no such thing as a free lunch"] principle.

The hotel is in a good location. The surrounding neighborhood is really nice. We passed the hotel the first time as it is not marked well. Make sure to... have the address. It is just past Pepe's restaurant. The hotel room was a good nice and bed was comfortable. The only negative thing about this hotel is it can be a little loud in the night from the traffic. It wasn't horrible but light sleepers may not like it. The staff was very friendly and explained where everything was on a map. Good hotel for the price. Hotels.com 住客于 2013年10月09日做过点评

The Apple iPhone 3G offers critical new features including support for high-speed 3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded e-mail. Its call quality is improved and it continues to deliver an excellent music and video experience.
The iPhone 3G continues to lack some basic features that are available on even the simplest cell phone. Battery life was uneven, and the 3G connection tended to be shaky. Also, the e-mail syncing is not without its faults.
The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

Winter Commencement is Saturday, Dec. 13 Winter Commencement is set for 10 a.m., Saturday, December 13 in GPAC. The University is expecting a record of 400 graduates. Dr. Jeffery Geller, chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion, is the speaker. Dr. Geller received the 2003 UNC Board of Governors' Award for Teaching Excellence. The faculty staging area is the lobby of Lumbee Hall, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Graduates should report for robing to the University Center Cafeteria at 9 a.m. Guests are reminded that the doors to GPAC will close at 9:45 a.m. in preparation for the procession of the faculty and graduates at 10 a.m. If GPAC fills to capacity before that time, overflow will be directed to the closed circuit broadcast in the University Center Lounge. Due to the large number of graduates and limited seating, no tickets will be available to staff or faculty. Questions: call Judy Monroe at ext. 6330. Dr. Carmen Calabrese brings an international business background to the MBA program New MBA Director Carmen Calabrese started his business career as an engineer and became the chief operating officer of a multi-million dollar international corporation. Besides a career on the rise, the other constant in his life has been a love of teaching. Dr. Calebrese has nurtured a long-time habit of teaching in MBA programs. "Everywhere I have been, I have taught on an adjunct basis," Dr. Calabrese said. "I enjoy watching my students succeed, and I enjoy teaching and sharing ideas with students because it helps me stay on top of the latest technology." "My strength is researching other people's ideas, teaching it and then applying it in the workplace," he said. "I can teach best practices to my students and show them how it works in practice." Before joining UNCP, Dr. Calabrese was a business professor at Walsh College in Oakland, Mich. Before that, he was Director of the MBA program at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, N.C. Dr. Calabrese's last stop in management was as President and COO of Nachi-Fujikoshi, Ltd., a Tokyo-based company that manufactured and marketed machine tools, robotics, bearings and cutting tools. Dr. Eric Dent, Dean of the School of Business, said the MBA program has benefited from a series of good leaders. "We've been fortunate to have strong leadership in the MBA program, and we are looking forward to Carmen continuing that string and leading the program as it continues its evolution and maturity," Dr. Dent said. Dr. Calabrese said the MBA program represents a familiar challenge. "The MBA program here is still relatively new, and my background is in starting and growing new businesses," he said. "The same process is involved in growing products, whether they are capital or academic." One of the first jobs facing the new director is creating and marketing a "day" MBA program to compliment the evening program already in place. Dr. Calabrese is a Philadelphia native who received his Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Drexel University, a Ph.D. in Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Eastern Michigan University. He has published many papers on topics ranging from alloys to manufacturing processes to management and technology. Winners of Staff Council election announced Here are newly elected Staff Council members by division:

The University has worked to "internationalize" its campus by creating strategic alliances with universities around the globe for student, faculty, administrative and program exchanges, said Dr. Alex Chen, Associate Vice Chancellor of International Programs. "International Education Week is a time to inform our students, faculty and staff of the many international opportunities available to them," Dr. Chen said. "I am extremely pleased to see a growing number of international students on our campus this year as well as a growing number of our student deciding to study abroad." This semester, the University has 54 international students on campus from more than 20 nations, and 12 UNCP students are making plans to study abroad during spring semester 2004, Dr. Chen said. Several events are planned to promote the University's growing international study programs capped byan International Education Fair on Wednesday.
Besides semester-long study abroad programs, the University is offering a growing number of summer tours abroad. Some earn academic credits. Tours to France, Belize, Mexico, Spain, Russia and more are planned this summer.
