Sorry, I got no idea. The value is inside the BIOS actually, I checked it twice, just as you. We will have to wait if there are more people with that issue, I guess.
Had no problem modding bios and reflashing. Checked bios on card flashing had worked. But, even though the new bios has flashed to the card, the card still behaves like standard, Old bios 720/900, 720/900, 720/900 Modded bios 300/900, 300/900, 783/1053 card still boots up at 720/900 and does not rise to higher clock on running 3D app. am i missing something? Also raising voltage from 1.22 to 1.35 on 3D gives no more overclock. flashed card again, reinstalled video driver, and Rivatuner still says card is running at 715/900 with no rise to 783/1053 when 3D program run. rechecked bios on card by downloading it and opening in RBE, and it is as set 300/900, 300/900, 783/1053. Orig bios and modde both attached any ideas? Thanks
Try to change "State 4 mode 1 - 2D" to a little lower/high value. It will also change the following stats when Locked. State 4 - mode 2 - "3D/low 3D" State 4 - mode 3 - "high 3D"
Big thanks Been trying to get that to work for days, maybe stupidity on my behalf, but that worked perfect, thanks very much.
I tried what VuurVOS and Richard suggested, but found that I can not enter any value in State 3 & 4 at all (RBE v.1.10) - both States remain blank. The 'Lock' box is unchecked and I can not check it too. In RBE v.1.08 I can change State 3, but not State 4.
In that case, your card does not support those states. RBE automatically checks, which states are supported. What card do you have? A 2900 pro/XT?
Hi, When I use RBE 1.10 on my 2900 XT bios, voltage are not set in the saved bios. I had checked the Hex values in the file. I will send you a private message with the link to the bios. Thanks.
Thank you. Are you sure? I tried it using your BIOS, it worked. Which state/mode do you change? Is there any error message?
I change state 2 to 2.25 Save and then load and the value is --- checking hex value il the file is 01 FF
Okay, sorry, I forgot: There's a buit-in limitation to 2 volts. But why do you want such a high voltage, are you crazy? Do you want to broil your card? (This question is meant seriously) If it is really necessary, I can increase the limit easily, but by now, I don't see any reason.
Okay, in that case I ask you again: Are you sure it doesn't work? It works for me. See: View attachment 13560
Your file is ok Here is a package with my original bios, RBE 1.10, screen of my modifications in RBE and the resulting bios. I put all voltages to 1.25 and all are at 01 FF !!! I did it on my own pc (vista 64) and at work (win2k), RBE downloaded eatch time on techpowerup server. http://forums.techpowerup.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13561&stc=1&d=1208172963 Could you give me your RBE version you use for testing on my bios?
new tests: don't work with 1.10 and 1.09 work with 1.07 can't get 1.08 at work (bbs filtering...) i had read you change program at the 1.08 do you used new library or dll? probably incompatibility with my french version... I ll be your beta tester
There's no magic special version I'm using. In fact, I was at work and tried it using a binary downloaded from TPU myself. Thanks for the offer. RBE doesn't use any localized library at all. I'm at home now and looking right into the code. There is just one check: Can the value entered be interpreted as a numeric value? If this fails, the value written will be 01FF, because this means a "fused" voltage. Due to intentional limitations of values that can be entered into the voltage slots, I can't imagine why the conclusion might be that a non-numeric value was entered. But exactly that is the case with your problem. Maybe, this is again a "comma versus dot"-problem. What symbol do you use in France to delimit a fraction? The check for a value larger that two was for an older version, I remembered that wrongly, sorry.
in france the normal delimiter is comma. When I use RBE, the only choice is a dot. As you can see on my attached screenshot, I put "1.25" in voltage value. I will use 1.07 untill this bug will be solved. If you are ok, I can try to debug your code on me pc. Contact me by private mesage.
Hi m8. I'm trying to save the original bios of my HD2900PRO with GPUZ and when I'm trying to open it with the RBE tool it tells me that "INVALID FILE SPECIFIED. Not an ATI BIOS? - Debug Information: "CheckValid" reported error" What should I do? Another thing, how do I flash the bios with the new one (presuming I'll manage to open somehow my original bios with the RBE tool. Thanks in advance!
Did you tried it with the latest version of RBE ? I use for flashing and backing up my current bios ATIWinFlash.
RBE 1.10 is the latest at the moment. I suggest that you save your bios with ATIWinFlash and check if it happens again
Thanks. Where do i get ATIWinFlash ? I've tried to use WinFlash and it just overloads my CPU (100%). ATIWinFlash is something different? Another thig. I've just bought an Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 2900 and mounted it to my 2900PRO card but I have an issue...the fans on the cooler wont start unless I help them a little. They just "tremble" and if I push them a little they start spinning. Any ideas?
I dont know for sure if it is the same. You need this http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1019/mirrors.php The problem with fans could be a too low fan speed when the card is cold. You can change/fix this with an edited bios
I've tought of that. And I've even turn on the pc and let the card to get hotter (the fans on the cooler were not spinning) and still they didn't turned on even at 60 degrees C. Any other suggestions?

Finally let me cut to the chase it is easier to cut then -- think especially when you could select from a prefix menu.
Provided by the very folks both parties all the call -- that -- spending standards the Congressional Budget Office the ceemea.
And the list it's put together is at the cutting listed all it's more like cut.
Just slowing the incredible in Greece and everything government list and it's open to all.
So you're not really cutting as much as your slowing spending slowing a little but saving a lot.
It's true the CBO even has a blueprint on menu.
But we're doing little things could -- big things things like defense.
Just renews its growth of funding by 1% annually you save a 116.
Or eight -- 61 billion bucks over ten years.
Do the same 1% saving for all agencies other -- defense -- talking 931 billion over the same ten years.
Billion converting the federal share of Medicaid payments for long term care services into a block grant.
Billion reducing the floor on federal matching rates for Medicaid Services.
85 billion limiting highway funding -- expected highway revenues no more no less.
73 million adopting about your plans for federal contributions to federal employees -- -- evidence.
Just those relatively minor adjustments that take no benefits away from any -- -- you're looking at more than 2.4 trillion dollars in spending savings.
Two and a half trillion box.
Not bad for what we're a little more than a few of the does at a different savings ideas no less than the CB -- concocted to get us out of the spending -- Not -- spending just slowing spending.
Not throwing granny off a -- making sure she never gets even close to that led.
And doubly sure her children and grandchildren do not either.
This is all about moving in increments my friends and because the numbers are so big be incremental savings -- through these adjustments -- will be even bigger.
We can do this.
It -- our politicians over their minds but first.
They have to open their eyes and just -- and that and these all right you've heard about.

Abstracting the network with SDNs
A New Nexus
Even as the tech world works to figure out just what to do with the potential of cloud computing and big data, along comes a new bit of technology fueled by open source software: software-defined networks.
Technology these days is all about abstraction: cloud computing is basically abstracting the concept of servers, so you don't have to worry about them. Big data's non-relational databases and Hadoop clusters perform a similar level of abstraction on database administration, and software-defined networks (SDNs) aim to do the same thing with networking.

Third time's a charm! My husband and I picked the right day to climb this year; the weather was perfect! We started at 1:15 a.m. and got to watch the sunrise from the Keyhole - awesome! We met some great people at the top! We watched a lot of them pass us by on the way down, but it didn't hurt the ego too badly! | ||

Drove to Longs Campground from Rapid City, SD(393 miles). I setup tent & slept for 3 hours before heading out at 5:15AM. I summited @ 11:40AM - Stayed up top for an hour or more - was back in Longs Campground @6:00PM. Maybe need to get more sleep before doing this I know I can get up and down faster than this(I did enjoy the hike, wasn't out to set record, took it all in). However I don't know how people can claim to leave at 5:15AM or later in log and claim summit in in little over 3 hours when I saw only one couple pass me going up and pass me again coming down from the trough. Oh well - Next up Gray's and Torreys Peak. Kind of a busy week hiked up Harney Peak, SD - Thursday evening roundtrip 2hrs 45min, Sunday biked from Deadwood to Hill City, approximately 52 miles with two low tires and no pump, oops. | ||

But weather was perfect so we kept on slogging 10-15 feet at a time until we finally made the summit. Hiking back took almost as long as going up, but it's done and now we can look forward to new challenges! | ||

This was a fantastic hike. It started at 2 am, with every start shining in the sky. We had to slow down a bit because the sun had still not started to rise by the time we got to the boulderfield. We waited by the keyhole and watched the sunrise. Fantastic! We were on the summit by 7:30 am, and then decided to hike over to Chasm Lake, another good hike if you don't want to go to the summit. That trail has a steep uphill to it as well though. I definitely prefer scrambling to hiking a well groomed path like Mount Elbert. Made it feel a little bit more like you were climbing a mountain. Both mountains had an equally great view from the top. | ||

Left at Midnight. Basically invented our own way up the loft route since we couldn't find the trail. Turned out to be awesome. Very exciting!!! Most of our loft route turned into a class 4... we even had several class 5 moves and treverses. Should've brought ropes but didn't. Made for a GREAT trip up. Summited at 6:45 and took a power nap for a while. Homestretch was very icy. Keyhole route going back down was lame compared to the loft. Much prefer the loft route. | ||

Whew, what a trip. Even thought this was ten years ago, I won't soon forget it! We did this in one very long day! About 2 miles in, my cousin realized he locked his keys in the car. Instead of waiting, he ran back down the trail (Litterally ran...this guy runs the double dipsy every year) to call a locksmith. I on the other hand, continued climbing now with his an my packs! I made it to past bear flats and almost into the Boulder field before he got back! Anyway, the weather rolled in as we were ascending the final chute. Made the summit, found the and signed the Peak Reg in the fog and RAN! Great, great climb, and I'd do it agin, but not in one day! Jeff Power Walter Underhill | ||

The Trading Fours jazz group plays their regular Friday concert tonight at Silverheels Bar & Grill at 6th and Main in Frisco, but with a few new additions.First, after recently losing drummer Alton Scales to the Community College of Aurora, they have acquired new talent in Joshua Cohn, a local contractor and 20-year jazz percussionist.Also, jazz vocalist Heidi Schmidt rejoins the group tonight to perform jazz favorites and a few of her original songs. Schmidt performed with Trading Fours for a number of years before leaving Summit County to study jazz vocal performance at the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music. She recently performed at the Festival Jazz en Vercours in Villard de Dans, France. Accompanying Schmidt on trombone is Dick Foust, a 30-year Nashville recording veteran, now of Silverthorne. You may have heard his horn backing up the performers at the recent run of "Kiss of the Spider Woman" at the Lake Dillon Theatre. Cohn, Schmidt, Foust and the rest of the Trading Fours will perform on the deck at Silverheels Bar & Grill from 6-9 p.m. today.

We looked for a muted Santa rally this year, we got it. It's important to note that while the media considers a Santa rally to come the week of Christmas, in reality the timing of it is supposed to be the beginning of December and should last at least thru the period where traders take their year-end vacation.
This year it came in one fell swoop and we've been retracing it ever since. We had strong starts from biotech and steel stocks and they have mostly faded. The sector that is still working is drug stocks. Apple computer backed off which was a key consideration of why tech backed off last week.
My biggest concern of the week (which is last week's news) really has been what the Chinese Premier said regarding they have inflation under control. The SSE voted last week and may have finally found a low. However it outright rejected the bigger 261 day window last week. My next biggest concern and as far as markets go this is the most important technical news heading into the new week. We have a VIX trading in the 20's after the market had a couple of really tough days. That means traders are complacent with where we are in the bigger scheme of things. I understand it's based on a lower volume holiday seasonal type trading agenda. Still, when the market trades lower and the VIX doesn't spike you have to be concerned about it. The condition is not likely to materially change between now and the New Year so January might be more bearish. We hear on television that it's actually a good thing as traders are anticipating less volatility. Nothing could be further from the truth. Since when do traders get what they want from the stock market? The stock market is not the take-out counter. In recent bottoms the VIX was sitting in the mid 30's and for us to get there it would require several big distribution days and I don't really think you can have the volume the rest of this year to accomplish it.
This is a good time to explain what fuels trouble in the market. You'll recall earlier in the year when markets were topping how news represented the prevailing psychology. First we had the soft patch in the February to May sequence. I'm still trying to figure out what a soft patch really is. After the soft patch sequence Bob Pisani reported from a big hedge fund conference that the big players were looking at a 'see-over' trade. Do you remember that? Simply put, by June and into July when the NDX finally topped hedge fund managers were looking beyond the soft patch to the 4th quarter when they anticipated that GDP would be rolling again. It's this kind of complacency that gets us in trouble. Bear markets will extend to the point the complacency is washed out of the system and fear levels rise like they did in March, August and October. That's why it's really tough for perma-bears to tell us they expect the 2009 lows to be taken out. There is absolutely no way to predict it. Why? Simply put, it's absolutely impossible to predict where complacency or fear is going to show up. As you know when we got to the black swan debt ceiling spectacle there was no more talk of soft patches. Now we are starting to get the 1929 comparisons.
How can we reverse the current situation? If markets can drop on complacency they can certainly rise on fear and worry. That's called a wall of worry. It's also impossible to predict but if a market suddenly rises and the VIX doesn't drop then we can turn more bullish.
Gold got hit and that's really the next biggest story of the week. This is purely an inflation/deflation play. Gold dropping along with oil is suggesting that deflation is once again rearing its ugly head. As long as the Greenback doesn't break free from the levels of last week's high it's not a problem yet. But we are coming to the point where it can become a problem. I've been telling you for nearly 3 years that as long as the Dollar is kept in check in the larger trading range conditions in the recovery can stay in motion. Now we are halfway up the range. Because conditions are fragile with Europe we still have a buffer in the low 80s' but who really wants to see it cut so close? I think that if the Dollar gets above the approximate 85 level you can see some serious fear levels in the stock market. Based on what we've discussed here that can't be a prediction but really a hypothesis. If the Dollar goes to 85 and the VIX would continue to drop I think we would be in big trouble.
Next page: Where might gold go?
I think Gold does have the potential to drop more but only if the Greenback breaks free. Suddenly, we don't see so many commercials for gold on television, do we? There is no such thing as Gold being the new reserve currency of the world. If and when that's the headline it represents a severely extended market.
Overall, we saw a bounce attempt on Friday due to the 161 day trading window back to the May peak. We were looking for it but the rally faded in the middle of the session and what was a promising start became a struggle. Biotech and banking gave up early gains.
What can we expect moving forward? One of the major wild cards is Shanghai. As we know it's a non-participant in the Santa rally. Up to now they have the Grinch spirit. But Friday was a day where it put in an excellent reversal candle on some good square of 9 and ratio readings not only off the February high but the 2010 high as well. These peaks are not the 2009 high but of a seconday nature so any rally from here would be anticipated to be a multi-week bear market variety. This is how we reconcile the Chinese Premier's comments of a week ago. We already know to be concerned about their opinion of having inflation under control. However, that has nothing to do with intermediate level swings in the market. In the bigger picture, this is a classic bear market. However, the good readings in China are a double edge sword. In early action on Sunday night the SSE gave back a portion of Friday's gains. The higher probability is on a turn window with readings is we should see a change in direction, especially when it comes from the bottom of a pitchfork line. However, in the non-linear world of financial markets conditions hardly conform to expectation. If really good readings are violated, they could mean something much larger is developing and it takes a really strong underlying current to overcome good readings. I'm looking at 1 of 2 conditions. Either China really turns itself around here or the pattern can seriously accelerate lower from here. The higher probability doesn't always win. But I'd handicap the percentages as 3-1 in favor of a change of direction. But we are going to have to see these approximate levels in the SSE take root.
What this means to us is whatever the outcome is likely to determine whether we see the risk on/off trade. If China turns itself around it will affect the mining/materials heavy Australian market which will in turn impact Copper which have the butterfly effect to the Greenback and ultimately to our equity market. If China withstands this retest of last week's low, you should know how to get positioned.

In reply to Hey You Guys!!! A Great Source of Info posted by Cassia on July 18, 1997 at 15:10:31
] I found a great new referece for social history last week. It's called: The Prospect before Her: A History of Women in Western Europe Vol I 1500-1800 by Olwen Hufton, one of the founders of the concept of Women's Studies. As it begins with the Rennaissance and continues the three hundred years through to the Napoleanic/Regency period it give a great deal of background of the formation of the ideas that ruled women's lives we are all so familiar with through JA are put into context. So not only do you learn what an entail or strict settlement is, you understand why it came about. The volume is broken into section which deal with courtship, marriage, widowhood, motherhood, ect.
] The chapeters i found most interesting were: Chapter 2 "The Strategic Plan: Marriage as a Goal" and Chapter 3 "Finding a Partner, Or a Queation of Choice." The changing conventions pf courtship are covered in depth and my reading gave me a wealth of ideas I can use to solve problems in my fan fic. Unfortunately as hufton focuses on women as much as can be allowed, some of the finer points of property law is missed as women have no true in these matters intil the mid 1870's. Chapter 9 "Corresponding Women" gives a concise history of pre-nineteenth century female writers of all sorts ranging from Aphra Behn to Fanny Burney. Chapter 11 'The Moving Finger" give an idea of how the education of women grew during this era.
] Some quotes:
For both sexes, the goal was not to merely marriage, but joining the couple in a "fitting match" an instructive concept in which appropriateness was the acriterion...p.65] Canon law forbade marriage within degress of consanguinity: parents could not marry their children, nor brothers sisters and cousins to the fourth degress were also excluded from the marriage pool (so what does this make of Fanny and Edmund?)...p.65
] In all countries, unequal and unfitting matches might take place, but they represented, as it were, a failure in the system of values and as such their doom was regared as probably ineveitalbe...p.67
] The dowry became increasingly formalised in the 16th and 17th centuries and contined to be so as the mark of a more stable and more commercially evolved society. Women became the bearers of liquid wealth...p. 67
] The "Bibliographical Essay" is broken into topics which makes it very easy to use for further research. Many of the books listed are available in both public and university libraries. Unfortunely, the same cannot be said of the essays; I could only find a few in all the libraries I checked (Carnegie of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon U, U of Pitt). Oh well, can't have everything.
] Personally, I can hardly wait for Volume II!

I can put all delegated projects and actions in @Agenda category to discuss with my collegues. I don't need to plan any NAs for delegated projects so how do you think why should I keep (it's better to ask should I keep?) Projects-Delegated category?

10.4.12 Links Roundup
- U.S.-born Latinos' Talent Unrecognized (The Denver Post)
It's not like Saracho goes around pretending to be Mexican-American. In fact, the article noted her ambivalence toward being called a "Chicana," and stated clearly that she describes herself as a "green-card-carrying Mexican citizen."
Still, it hurt when, a few paragraphs later, the co-founder of a Latino Chicago theater company made this damning observation: "She's the first really viable local Latino playwright we've had."
Ouch! In a state with 1.6 million Mexican-Americans and in Chicago, the city with the fourth-largest Mexican-American population in the country, we had to wait for someone to immigrate to become the shining beacon of artistic hope for the fastest growing minority population in the country?
"Zoe is an incredible actress–I think that she's a fine actress. I think that there should be some work done, like a prosthetic nose would be helpful and definitely some darker makeup. If Forest Whittaker can become darker in "The Last King Of Scotland" then I believe Nina should be treated with that respect. She was very adamant about her color about her nose about her shape and her self and there needs to be some homage paid to that."
- Kill the Indians, Then Copy Them (The New York Times)
To mock real Indians by chanting like Hollywood Indians in order to protest someone you claim is not Indian at all gets very confusing. Even more so because early Americans spent centuries killing Indians, and then decades trying to drive any distinctive Indianness out of the ones who survived. Perhaps we've come a long way if Americans are now going around accusing people who don't look or act Indian enough of appropriating that identity for personal gain. But in fact, the appropriation of Indian virtues is one of the country's oldest traditions.
Indians — who we are and what we mean — have always been part of how America defined itself. Indians on the East Coast were largely (but never completely) deracinated, and tribes like the Delaware were either killed or relocated farther west. At the same time, their Indianness was extracted as a set of virtues: honor, stoicism, dignity, freedom. Once, in college, an African-American student shook his head when I told him that I was Indian and he said he was jealous. Why? I asked. Because you lived life on your own terms and would rather have died than become a slave. That sentiment — totally at odds with the reality in which many tribes were indeed enslaved and a few owned slaves themselves — seemed a very wistful expression of what being an Indian meant.
- Who Gets to Define Immigrants as "Illegal"? (Dissent Magazine)
By using "illegal" instead of "undocumented" or another term, the Times and AP are implicitly privileging the way in which the federal immigration bureaucracy defines immigrants over the way immigrants define themselves. Too frequently journalists and scholars accept these definitions out of hand without questioning them. How, why, and by whom are these definitions created? As law enforcement agencies that justify their yearly budgets and very existence by the number of people they apprehend, detain, and deport, do the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have a vested interest in defining immigrants as "illegal"? Do government-contracted private prison companies like the Corrections Corporation of America and its shareholders have a vested interest in defining immigrants as "illegal"?
Instead of asking whether "illegal immigrant" is "the right" description, the more important question is what is the best description? Most of the commonly used descriptors are imperfect and inherently problematic in one way or another. Aside from "illegal" and "undocumented," other terms such as "out of status," "illicit," and "irregular" are clunky and confusing. Almost all are too capacious. "Unauthorized" may be the best of all the flawed options since, unlike most of the other terms, it describes immigrants' relation to the state without denigrating them.
- Homeland: Race And Islam In Showtime's Award-Winning CIA Drama (Global Comment)
The thing is, Homeland has a race problem. Brody is both white and the only sympathetic Muslim on the show. It isn't lost on him that his al-Qaeda contacts seem motivated by opportunism and greed, while Brody himself is motivated by the killing of a child he loved. Regular Muslims, by contrast, are depicted as people prone to mob violence who can be easily manipulated by their rulers. The site of angry Muslims burning Israeli and American flags outside the U.S. Embassy is one example from last night's episode – and in light of recent violence against U.S. diplomats in Arab countries, this was not a neutral plot point – not even if it was written before the recent real-life killings of U.S. diplomats in Arab countries.
In the end, the reactions that people like Brody and his daughter, Dana, express in response to Islamophobia in the U.S. are meant to reflect on their basic human goodness, but these conceits do little to trouble stereotypes about Arab- and Persian-American Muslims. It all gets filtered instead through a lens of whiteness.

Two American teams of researchers, one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led by Susumu Tonegawa and a second one under Mark Mayford of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., exploited this standard test to manipulate the engram for this scary event. Part of the engram is found in the dentate gyrus (DG), a substructure of the hippocampus, in the M.I.T. study, whereas the Scripps study did not specify the location of the engram. Shocking an animal in one context will activate a small subset of DG neurons, around 2 to 4 percent. A different context will be encoded by a separate sparse group of DG cells. The electrical activity in these cells triggers the expression of a small number of so-called immediate early genes.
Both groups used mice that were genetically manipulated so that the increased production of one of these genes within a particular time window triggers a cascade of cellular events that ultimately leaves a permanent molecular tag on the cell that can be made to glow. This labeling allowed the experimentalists to later identify and reactivate the same set of previously firing neurons using either beams of blue light introduced via fiber-optic cable (the M.I.T. group) or delivery of a drug not naturally present in the animal (the Scripps group). These manipulations—deep-brain stimulation on steroids—are made possible by the fantastic marriage of three technologies: pharmacology, optical stimulation and molecular biology [see "Playing the Body Electric," by Christof Koch; SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN MIND, March/April 2010].
Now I will concentrate on the findings from M.I.T. They had a group of mice explore one particular environment (let's call it A). Later on, bombarding the DG with blue light triggered the minority of neurons that had been active while the rodents were getting used to this context. A few days later the same animals were placed into a new context—cages that looked and smelled different (environment B)—while they were electrically shocked. This robustly activated DG neurons that were furiously encoding anything and everything about this obviously dangerous place so that the mice could avoid it in future. As in all these transgenic mice, the activity molecularly labels these cells for subsequent reactivation.
In the crux of the experiment, the rodents were dropped into the neutral environment A that they had no cause to fear. Indeed, without blue light these animals did not show any freezing. Yet in a beautiful confirmation of the power of optogenetics, when the blue light was turned on, the mice froze! Triggering the neurons that encoded environment B, including its association with the painful shock, induced the memory and made the mice cower in expectation of something bad about to happen. That is, neural circuits in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus wired up to express an aversive event that happened at B are sufficient to evoke the associated aversive memory, even though the subjects never had experienced anything bad in A. It is an artificial memory—think Total Recall—but to the mice it appeared real enough that they went into their defensive crouch.
This experiment proves that activating on the order of 10,000 interlaced neurons in one very specific region of the brain is sufficient for a specific memory, its engram. Whether these circuits are also necessary for this memory, that is, whether deleting these neurons will remove the memory—shades of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—remains to be determined (soon).
Let me end with another evocative quote from a film that routinely tops the list of the best science-fiction movies ever. I leave it to you, esteemed reader, to discover its source. It is a death soliloquy that speaks to the clarity and lucidity of memories, real or false ones:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Today we talked about how most of us are not better off than we were four years ago.
Whether you're looking at our overall national debt of sixteen trillion dollars or.
Maybe just the pocketbooks of regular Americans median incomes are down 4000.
Bucks since the president took office.
I think you gotta agree things could be better.
But one quarter of the economy is really showing some life out there and it's housing.
Just today the National Association of Realtors said this the amount of time new -- -- the market is getting shorter.
It's now 69 days a year ago it was 98 at some percent.
What's more asking prices are up just 2.3 percent but still hire the right direction.
The case Shiller report issued just last week as we reported showed US home prices rising in -- in the second quarter.
With the first positive annual growth rate since the summer of two when he -- -- -- now I predicted on the show for some time -- housing will recover back in May of 2011.
I have this to say.
Look clearly confidence in the housing market is an all time low housing values have plummeted.
-- -- just the latest in the series of economic bubbles with a popped like tech stocks did more than a decade ago.
I don't know if you've noticed the tech stocks are back and and that way housing will come back to.
Look now even housing common shares like Robert Shiller are having to can see that the housing market is looking stronger.
But it remains at least one large dark cloud on the horizon and that is the inventory held by banks.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- About one point three million homes at 3.2 percent of all homes with a mortgage.
Were in the national foreclosure inventory as of July that's slightly down from a year ago when it was one point five million or 3.5 percent.
And that's gonna keep prices from going up fast anytime soon remember the market fell 30% that's prices.
More in some markets we have a long way to go into -- back to 2006 pricing levels.
However positive signs are there the market is bottoming and beginning it's inevitable trend higher.
Even so some people tell me well it's time to become -- -- of -- Here's what I say.
I've covered the housing market for years and frankly I've never heard as much negativity about the housing market as I do today.
I don't get it.

Expanding Medicaid: Congress will keep its word!
Under Obamacare, states initially were forced to expand Medicaid eligibility to families earning as much as 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The Supreme Court struck down the mandate as unconstitutional, so the expansion is up to each state.
A majority of the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee concluded that expansion "would be a vehicle for bringing hundreds of millions of federal dollars into the state." It said also that the "Medicaid expansion and its federal financing/matching rate are enshrined in federal law. Changing either of these federal government obligations would require an Act of Congress."
Goodness, an act of Congress! Why, Congress's word is as good as... as.... hey, wait a second.
If your best argument is that Congress will keep its word, then you don't have an argument. No one - literally, to use a Bidenism - believes that Washington will enshrine into permanency a subsidy it already cannot afford to fund. The argument mocks itself. Those making it have let themselves become tools of the administration's propaganda machine. They are undermining New Hampshire's future fiscal stability for the sake of advancing the Obama administration's political goals. They should be stopped. Passing House Bill 271, to prohibit the state's expansion of Medicaid, would do that, for now. It's too bad the House hasn't the will to do it.

A New Sport with a New Set of Rules
A New Sport with a New Set of Rules
Kiteboard racing is different, and so are its rules. "Rules" from our November/December 2009 issue.
What started as a small group of kiteboard sailors racing around buoys in 2005 on San Francisco Bay at the St. Francis YC is now a worldwide activity that's coming on fast. A check of the kiteboard course-racing schedule on the website of the International Kiteboarding Association shows 18 regattas in the last six months. The highlight of this year's schedule was the first Kiteboard Course Racing World Championship, again at St. Francis, with 67 entries from 12 countries. While the growth of this new sailing discipline has been accelerated in the past year, so too have the rules under which they race.
Tree Bay Area kite enthusiasts, John Gomes, Geoff Headington, and John Craig, along with Bryan McDonald, a windsurfer and experienced team-race umpire, drafed an initial set of rules for the first races. These were tested, refined, and then posted by US SAILING on its website. Shortly thereafer, the IKA joined forces with ISAF and asked that ISAF develop a set of rules for kiteboards as it has done for Windsurfing Competition (Appendix B of the racing rules). At this point, as a member of the ISAF Racing Rules Committee, I volunteered to work on the project. The result is Appendix BB, Experimental Kiteboarding Competition Rules, now available on the ISAF website at www.sailing.org/28163.php. It is likely that this appendix will appear in the 2013 edition of the racing rules, alongside the special appendices for windsurfing, match racing, team racing, and radio-controlled boats.
Working on these rules has been great fun and a challenge. The "boats" are really different from all other boats that race under our racing rules. Although the board itself is no bigger than a windsurfer hull, a kiteboard in its entirety is huge. The kite is several times larger than the hull, and the control lines can be upwards of 110 feet long. What's more, the kite can be flown anywhere from just above the surface of the water to right over the hull. Steering the kite in a pattern of repeated big figure eights, a practice called "looping," adds lift. Therefore, the kite is not always flown in a steady position with respect to the hull. Competitors loop their kites when sailing downwind or in lulls in the wind when their speed drops. Changing course takes a lot of skill, and those skills are developing fast. As recently as last year, most kiteboarders were unable to tack and instead jibed through 270 degrees whenever they wanted to change tack on a beat to windward. At this year's Worlds, about half the competitors were tacking rather than jibing. It is quite common for sailors to lose contact with their boards and have to swim after them. Hulls almost never hit one another. When a competitor breaks a rule, what usually happens is that one sailor's control lines hit another's and the two sets of lines become tangled, a disaster that can result in huge losses in a short race.
Kiteboard equipment, kiteboarding skills, and the rules governing kiteboard races are all evolving at a rapid pace. Here's are a sampling of some of the challenges we faced while developing rules for kiteboards, and the rules we wrote to meet them.
Basic Definitions: Obviously, there is no mast or boom, which helps define the tack a sailboat is on. A kiteboard is on the starboard (port) tack when the competitor's right (left) hand would be forward if he were in "standard riding position" with his heels on the edge of his hull and both hands on the control bar. The definitions of clear astern, clear ahead, and overlap are based on both hull and equipment, just as they are for boats. However, when two kiteboards on the same tack overlap, the one whose hull is on the leeward side of the other's hull is the leeward kiteboard, and the other is the windward kiteboard.
Basing this distinction on the position of the hull is necessary because the control line and kite are often more than 100 feet away from the hull. Sometimes when two kiteboards converge while sailing downwind it is not possible to determine which one has right of way. In such cases, there is a special rule that states, "the one on the other's starboard side or the one astern shall keep clear."
