Zach Wellman takes his gun wherever he goes.
"When I wake-up in the morning the firearm goes with me when I go home at night my firearm goes with me," he said. Wellman is part of a national movement of 2nd amendment activists demonstrating their right to carry their weapons in plain view. It's called open carry.
Utah is one of 43 states allowing any non-felon to openly carry an unloaded gun. But even though people can doesn't mean they should, according to some.
"I'm frankly fearful when people can wonder around my grocery store or my coffee shop with their fire arms," said Gary Sackett, of the Gun Violence Prevention Center. "It creates anxiety and fear in the population at large."
ABC4 wanted to know how ordinary people feel about seeing someone carrying a gun in broad day light. So reporter Kim Johnson set up a hidden camera experiment at Coffee Club in Taylorsville.
It didn't take long for Wellman and his favorite accessory to get noticed.
From looks, to stares even jaw dropping gazes. One man even eyeballs the gun not once, twice, but three times.
"It was unusual to see a regular person come in with it but it didn't bother me," said Kelly Watkins.
But it did bother Nikki Roberts who couldn't ignore the weapon as Wellman makes small talk. "He had a gun on his belt," she said. "I'm kind of scared of guns-- people don't walk around with guns on their belts."
But other gawkers just assumed he was law enforcement and the gun actually made them feel safer.
"I just thought that maybe he was off-duty," said Joy Genessy.
Joe Tonumaipea agrees, "Thinking he was an officer I felt safe."
Amy Tam though had just the opposite reaction. She tells ABC4 she wanted to run when she saw the gun. "First I think maybe he's an officer then I'm like maybe he's not," she said. "If he is that's good if he's not then I want to leave as soon as possible because I don't feel comfortable seeing someone who's like showing the gun walking around."
But if Wellman had his way everybody would be used to seeing guns in public places, not only is it his right he argues, but it promotes safety. "They say an armed society is a polite society," he said. "I believe in personal protection for myself. I have four kids so I want to protect my family and bystanders as well."
Sackett disagrees and believes guns are not the answer to a safe society. "The fact is people who wear those weapons aren't in the business of fighting crime," he said. "Untrained people are really not in a position even if something were to occur to make judgments about how to use or when to use deadly force."
You can't open carry everywhere in Utah. Airports and courthouses are off limits. But surprisingly you can carry at public universities. Utah is the only state with that law in the books.

WASHINGTON -- When newly married Kay Bailey Hutchison left Houston for Dallas in the late 1970s, she discovered that she had become something of a desperate housewife.
The meticulous and pulled-together future U.S. senator had her finances in order, including the individual retirement account she'd started when she was vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.But she got quite a surprise when she tried to add to it."I wasn't working," Hutchison said in an interview, "and I was told I couldn't contribute to this." The law restricted homemakers from contributing to IRAs because they were not in the workforce."I said, 'This is so wrong,'" said Hutchison, an attorney whose varied career had included time as a television reporter, a Texas House member and a safety board official.She later was senior vice president and general counsel of Republic Bank and eventually became the state treasurer.But she never forgot about the housewives.And when Hutchison made it to the Senate in 1993 -- winning a special election to replace Democrat Lloyd Bentsen, who resigned to become Treasury secretary -- at the top of her legislative shopping list was changing the homemaker IRA.Hutchison relentlessly pushed for it with senior members of the Texas GOP delegation. And by 1995, aligned with House Majority Leader Dick Armey of North Texas and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer of Houston, she succeeded in getting IRA parity for homemakers.Before she stepped in, the contribution limit for homemakers had been changed to $250 a year.Now, nonworking spouses can contribute up to $5,000 a year.It's a legacy that Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., are honoring with legislation naming the homemaker IRA after Hutchison. The measure sailed through the Senate last week and is pending before the House."I would be so honored," Hutchison, R-Texas, said with a smile.It will almost certainly make the onetime University of Texas cheerleader's name endure. The well-known Roth IRA, for example, allows tax-free withdrawals and was named for the late Sen. William Roth, R-Del.Hutchison, who is retiring, has an impressive legislative record in her nearly 20 years in the Senate, including phasing out the controversial Wright Amendment, which limits service at Dallas Love Field; fixing the so-called marriage penalty, which taxed married couples at a higher rate; directing millions of dollars to higher education and research at Texas institutions; making state sales taxes an itemized deduction on federal income tax returns; and fighting for NASA dollars and the space program in the face of cutbacks."I think history will judge her as one of the greatest legislators we've ever had," said Patrick Oxford, chairman of the Bracewell & Giuliani law firm of Houston and a lifelong friend and supporter of Hutchison's. "She was Lyndon Johnson-level in terms of understanding the legislative process really well."Oxford and Hutchison attended the University of Texas at Austin as undergraduates and were law school classmates.Working with DemocratsA hallmark of Hutchison's Senate career has been her willingness to work with Democrats, especially Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., whom Senate wags widely call her BFF (Best Friend Forever)."When I first came to the Senate 20 years ago, Sen. Hutchison gave me a small briefcase that I still carry to this day. It hasn't worn out, and neither has our friendship," Feinstein said."I worked closely with Sen. Hutchison for two decades, particularly on issues related to women and families."The two joined forces on the Amber Alert legislation for abducted children, named for Amber Hagerman of Arlington, who was abducted and killed in 1996.They also collaborated on the Breast Cancer Stamp bill, which has raised more than $76 million for breast cancer research."Her legacy as a tireless advocate for these causes will live on," Feinstein said.Another close associate is U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, whose 1996 election prompted talk of "the two Kays" in Texas political circles."Kay Bailey Hutchison is a good friend, and I'm sad that we won't be serving together again next year," Granger told the Star-Telegram."Sen. Hutchison has done so much for Texas, and I have been honored to work with her on preserving our state's C-130 squadron, the Wright Amendment and Trinity River Vision, among many other things."The two Kays worked to ensure funding for the Trinity River Vision flood control and economic development project in Fort Worth and to stop an Air Force plan to move the C-130s from Naval Air Station Fort Worth to Montana.U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, also has a long association with Hutchison."I have a close personal relationship with Kay that goes beyond the halls of Congress. We worked together to represent the people back home for nearly 20 years. She was a warrior for Texas and she will be missed," Barton told the Star-Telegram."We have shared many memories -- both political and personal -- but one of the stories that sticks out to me was the first time Kay went to Texas A&M after she was elected to the Senate," said Barton, a gung-ho Aggie."She wore burnt orange to an event in College Station. I pulled her aside and jokingly said, 'Kay, I don't think you realize this -- but that is not a really popular color here at A&M.' As far as I know, she never wore burnt orange to campus again -- unless she was cheering on her Longhorns at Kyle Field."She has admirers among Texas Democrats, too. U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, said, "You could count on Sen. Hutchison to do the right thing."Hutchison's support for Texas interests, especially NASA, made her a "pioneer," Jackson Lee said.U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, said Hutchison hosted joint Democratic-Republican Texas delegation breakfasts for a number of years. And he appreciated her work on the Senate Appropriations Committee."She's been a lifesaver," he said. "She's been a godsend on so many things. We're going to miss her a lot. Seniority counts, especially in the Senate."'Should be a rotation'Hutchison said she thinks that term limits make sense."I'm not sorry about leaving," said Hutchison, 69. "I think it's the right time.""I'm a strong proponent of term limits. I intended to serve two terms, not three. There should be a rotation."One factor in her thinking is the desire to return to Texas. Her husband, Ray, and 11-year-old adopted children, Bailey and Houston, live in Dallas.But there is also the political fallout from the drubbing she took in 2010 in her chaotic run for governor.Ben Barnes, a former Texas lieutenant governor and a well-known Democratic lobbyist, said he'd give her legislative record "an above-average grade.""The low point of her career was when she lost that governor's race," Barnes said.Hutchison lost badly in the GOP primary to Gov. Rick Perry in 2010 after putting off a run in 2006. She also effectively became a lame duck by saying she would step down from the Senate, then decided to stay on through the end of her term.Hutchison is certainly a survivor: Shortly after being elected, she was indicted in Texas on allegations of campaign abuses. In a Fort Worth courtroom, she was acquitted when Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle refused to continue after the judge would not allow much of the prosecution evidence."It was so political and so baseless," Hutchison said in the interview.But it also showed Texans their new senator's steely resolve.Time for the kidsIn her farewell address, Hutchison showed a softer side, talking about having her children visit her office."And while Washington has occupied much of my time, they have loved coming to the Capitol, and I know that my children's fondest memory of my time here will be of playing soccer in the Russell building's hallways in the evenings when the coast is clear."In the interview, she said, "I certainly want to be home with them, and I want to raise them in Texas."Hutchison said she hopes to be "of counsel" at a law firm and to continue to do public speaking and to serve on corporate boards. "I believe this is the right time for me to be able to start another career."And she doesn't think she'll be back in politics even though Fort Worth lawyer Dee Kelly said that "I hope this isn't the end of her public service."Maria Recio is the Star-Telegram's Washington bureau chief. 202-383-6103.Twitter: @maria_e_recio

Born: July 22, 1943, in Galveston
Education: She received a Bachelor of Arts in 1962 from the University of Texas, where she was a cheerleader. She received her law degree there in 1967.

Production of Natural Gas and Fluid Flow in Tight Sand Reservoirs
To study the influence of microscopic flow mechanisms on gas production parameters of tight sand reservoirs.
The main goal of this research is to identify possible relationships and define dependencies between macroscopic reservoir parameters strongly affected by microscopic flow dynamics and production well performance in tight-gas sand reservoirs. To achieve this goal, the Center for Energy and Technology of the Americas (CETA) will identify microscopic flow mechanisms that affect fluid flow by using pore network simulation and other modeling techniques, that when coupled to homogenization and upscaling tools, can be used to find average macroscopic equations that properly describe the fluid flow behavior at the laboratory scale. The formulation can then be further extended for application at field scales by using dynamic upscaling methods upon determination of reservoir heterogeneity. Subsequently, CETA will evaluate the impact of reservoir features on fluid flow. Such features could be fluid properties, reservoir depth, net sand thickness, reservoir permeability, and data from drilling and stimulation processes.

Miami, Florida 33174
Potential Impact:
The influence of microscopic flow mechanisms on gas production parameters in tight sand reservoirs can help identify possible relation-ships and dependencies between macroscopic reservoir parameters and well performance. Subsequently, these parameters can be used in the development of rigorous, macroscopic equations that more accurately describe the fluid flow behavior in tight-gas reservoirs and allow operators to better assess well completion strategies, predict well performance, and avoid tight-gas well production problems, such as unexpected associated water production.

Paper Title: A novel modeling approach for two-phase fluid flow in tight sand gas reservoirs
Paper Abstract: A system of macroscopic transport equations that model two-phase (gas-water) flow through tight porous media is presented. The porous medium is modeled using a dual-porosity and dual-permeability approach. Phenomena such as, Knudsen diffusion, electro-kinetic effects, diffusion of dissolved gas in water and water vaporization have been captured in the proposed formulation. The transport equations were discretized in a 2D finite differences scheme and solved numerically. Results are compared with other single and multi-mechanistic approaches commonly used for tight sand reservoirs. We analyze the model predictions for various reservoir properties, initial conditions and exploitation strategies. We observe differences in the predicted gas production from the models considered and the common underestimation when using a single-mechanistic approach. We also present results that possibly explain unexpected water production.

-- Women are opening their own businesses.
-- And crimes against women, such as rape and domestic abuse, are being addressed in a serious manner.
The elders are as delighted by this turn of events as the women.
"I am very happy and grateful to Landesa for letting us know about the constitution," said Maasai Elder Paul Mpuyuk. "I think this is a great thing."
And the elders believe in this so deeply, that they have become both role models and enforcers for these new attitudes. Some have very publicly provided their wives with title to family land, they all now require that men get their wives' approval before selling any family land, and they have taken a harder line on violence against women.
This model has obvious implications for work elsewhere in Africa where constitutions recognize the role of tribal elders and chiefs and promise women equal rights but the reality has fallen short. The model indicates that tribal elders and chiefs can be powerful tools for progressive change -- as effective as the American Cancer Society's sophisticated advertising campaigns, MADD's ubiquitous bumper stickers, and Dr. Spock's authoritative books.

What a remarkable complex!
Now if only our governments and corporations would take the climate issue as seriously as some citizens do.

NBA AM: Another 2012 NBA Mock Draft
Talking NBA Draft It has been awhile since I did a full 60 pick Mock Draft, so with not a lot going on today, here is my latest:
Feel free to bang away on it in the comment section.
Do you know your Draft Prospects? The 2012 NBA Draft is just 24 days away and HOOPSWORLD has put together the ultimate cheat sheet for knowing and understanding the prospects in this year's NBA Draft. Check out of the player profiles for all of the players expected to be drafted this year.
We Have A Series Yesterday in this space we covered how being 2-2 in a series wasn't a big deal until someone won a road game… The Oklahoma City Thunder did just that last night.
Historically the winners of Game 5 in a 2-2 series have gone on to win the series 83.5% of time, so we have something to watch out West. The Celtics will get their crack tonight in Miami, although the HEAT will get Chris Bosh back in the lineup and that will surely change things.
So with four teams still left standing, the question to you is:
Why Neil Was Lost? Before you get too Machiavellian about Neil Olshey's decision to leave the Clippers for the Portland Trail Blazers keep in mind when multi-time billionaires fight single time billionaires, the multi-time billionaires typically win. There are not many things in the world that Blazer's owner Paul Allen wants, that Paul Allen doesn't obtain.
Olshey started his career in the NBA as the Clippers' Director of Player Personnel, he was named an assistant coach in 2004. In 2088 Neil was promoted to assistant general manager and ultimately named GM in 2010; truly a "work your way up the ladder" story.
As a result Olshey was never at the high end of the compensation scale. While well paid for his work, Neil was never paid as a top tier executive and even the new deal that was reached last week "in principal" wasn't on par with what other top level GMs make.
Enter the Portland Trail Blazers.
Olshey met with Blazers owner Paul Allen in Europe several weeks ago and was said to have pegged Olshey as his guy. The two sides talked at length, but Olshey wanted to be loyal to the Clippers and told they Blazers he wanted to give them the first shot at making a deal.
Sources say once the Clippers and Olshey reached a deal "in principal" last week, the Blazers upped their offer and that apparently soured things with the Clippers. Sources close to the process say owner Donald Sterling was offended by the tactic, believing he had a deal with Olshey.
In the end the two sides broke off talks and Olshey took the Blazers' offer agreeing to a multi-year deal yesterday.
The Blazers have been without a true General Manager for more than a year after letting Rich Cho go last May. The Blazers had talked with more than a dozen candidates over the last year and zeroed in on Olshey about a month ago.
The Clippers will continue to run things internally with team president Andy Roeser making all final decisions with head coach Vinny Del Negro, who was an executive with the San Antonio Spurs before turning to coaching, and Clippers Director of Player Personnel Gary Sacks running the NBA draft and initial free agency until a new GM is hired.
The Clippers do not hold a first round pick this year, but do hold the 53rd pick and have been working out players in advance of the NBA Draft.
The 2012 NBA Draft Combine gets underway in Chicago this week and the The Clippers are expected to be active in talking about their open position. Sources say they want to complete that process quickly, but won't rush to make a bad decision.

By Stephen Schramm
GREENSBORO - Kenny Herbst was hard to miss behind the Wake Forest bench Thursday night. Throughout the Demon Deacons' 75-62 loss to Maryland in the first round of the ACC tournament, the former walk-on and current Wake Forest professor cheered feverishly.
Each call drew an animated reaction. Each basket saw him leap out of his seat. Every tense moment had him yelling out encouragement.
He did this mere feet away from Jeff Bzdelik, the Demon Deacons' embattled head coach.
And that probably wasn't a coincidence.
The circumstances under which Bzdelik worked on Thursday night were decidedly difficult.
On the night his third season as the coach of the Demon Deacons (13-18) ended, the criticism directed at him was as public and intense as it's ever been.
Bzdelik, who spent most of his 17 years in the NBA as an assistant, has never had the outgoing personality that Demon Deacons fans could easily embrace. He was less a charming salesman than a basketball wonk. And his tenure at Wake Forest has been a trying one.
Faced with considerable player turnover, his first team won eight games. His second won 13. While this season's team, which featured a handful of promising newcomers, pulled off upsets of ACC regular-season champ Miami and in-state rival N.C. State, the unrest among the Wake Forest fan base grew.
A group reportedly featuring more than 100 Wake Forest fans pooled its money to buy an ad across the bottom of the front page of the Greensboro News & Record's sports section.
"We can't worry about media good or bad," Wake Forest junior Travis McKie said. "That's the way it goes in college basketball. We just have to stick together as a tight-knit group. We'll be fine."
A similar ad was recently run in Wake Forest's student newspaper.
Both directed readers to a website filled with quotes and stats selected to advance the cause of Bzdelik's firing.
"I don't read the newspaper and I don't read the Internet, that's the honest to goodness truth," Bzdelik said when asked about it.
In the glum news conference following the game, he was also asked what he'd say to the frustrated corners of the Demon Deacons fan base. He paused 10 full seconds before answering.
"This foundation that we've built is rock solid with terrific young men and terrific young players," Bzdelik said. "There is a very bright future. . It's a learning experience. There's a great majority of fans that we hear from that are very, very supportive. And they're behind these young men. These young men are committed to Wake Forest and committed to working hard and there is a very bright future, the right way."
When Bzdelik strode onto the court prior to the game, he was expressionless. When his name was called out during the pregame introductions, there were faint boos.
A disgruntled Wake Forest fan made his way down to the front of the Wake Forest section to yell at Bzdelik after the final buzzer.
With his wife, Nina, sitting two seats over from Herbst, and his daughter, Courtney, sitting with the rest of the Wake Forest dance team watching from the baseline, it was an uncomfortable scene.
Throughout it all, Herbst's enthusiasm served the dual purpose of giving Bzdelik a reassuring voice and drowning out the negativity.
Early in the second half, when Maryland was erasing the Demon Deacons' halftime lead, Herbst led a chant of "De-fense!"
He was joined by only four others.

Library Hours (link removed) · NLM News · Announcements Back to the Library's Home Page (link removed) |
Library Bulletin Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Library -- New Orleans Ch-Ch-Ch-ChangesIf you've visited the Isché Library recently you may have noticed a few changes. The Library is undergoing a major renovation scheduled to be completed fall 2008. When the dust settles, the third floor will have a new 24-hour study area for students called the Library Commons which will include group seating areas, two multimedia learning rooms, new display cases and yes, even a café. The Isché Library will continue to operate under its normal hours during the renovation. To minimize the distraction of progress, Associate Director, Debbie Sibley has provided ear plugs to students and staff. Feel free to stop in and see the architect's rendering of the new space. You can also see a 3-D animation of what the Library Commons will look like on the Digital Signage throughout the campus. Be sure to check out the Commons when it opens in the fall. -- Kressy Raasch (link removed) |

When you were in high school what was your favorite subject? Besides music, it was anything math-related for me. I didn't much care for words, which is ironic since now I spend time putting thoughts and information into understandable and relatable words. I preferred trigonometry, calculus, physics, even chemistry and algebra. Now I'm about to reveal how much of a mathematics geek I truly am.
Here's a word problem for you.
* Diabetes affects nearly 24 million people in the United States (almost 8 percent of the population) according to 2007 prevalence data estimates released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Recent research reveals that prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. is 13.7% among men and 11.7% among women older than 30 years of age. Undiagnosed diabetes may range anywhere from 2.1-3.7% of the adult population.
* An estimated 43 million people in the U.S. have arthritis or other rheumatic conditions according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), a division of the National Institutes of Health. The more than 100 rheumatic diseases, characterized by inflammation and of loss of function in supporting or connecting structures of the body, are a more frequent cause of activity limitation than heart disease, cancer, or diabetes.
* Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the immune system which first targets the synovium, or lining of the joint, resulting in pain, stiffness, swelling, joint damage, and loss of function. Inflammation most often affects joints of the hands and feet and tends to occur symmetrically which helps to distinguish it from other diseases. The Arthritis Foundation estimates that 1.3 million Americans, or about 0.6 percent of the U.S. adult population, live with rheumatoid arthritis.
* In 2008, the CDC released an analysis of data collected during phone surveys conducted in 2005 and 2007 as part of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Of nearly 800,000 persons who self-reported living with doctor-diagnosed diabetes, 52% answered yes to the question - "Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia?"
* The Arthritis Foundation reports a Diabetes-Arthritis connection with the following statement found on their website - "New research shows that people with diagnosed diabetes are nearly twice as likely to have arthritis - about 53 percent of people with diabetes also have arthritis."
The question to be answered is:
How many people in the U.S. live with both diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis?
a) 12.5 million people
b) 1.3 million people
c) 416,000 people
d) 3.4 million people
e) none of the above
What was your answer? Hopefully, it was E, none of the above.

Yesterday, hundreds of people protested Oklahoma's "personhood" bill at the state capitol. Among them was State Senator Judy Eason McIntyre — holding a sign to end all protest signs.
Well said, ma'am.
Further info, from a HuffPo article on the protest:
"Oklahoma Sen. Judy McIntyre (D), one of four women in the 48-member state Senate, looked out over a sea of homemade signs at a fetal personhood protest at the state Capitol on Tuesday and spotted one that she wanted to hold herself.
" 'If I wanted the government in my womb,' the sign said in painted blue letters, 'I'd fuck a Senator.'
"At the risk of offending some of her mostly male Republican colleagues, who recently voted to pass a controversial fetal personhood bill, she grabbed the sign and posed with it for photos.
" 'I was so excited about the fact that the women in Oklahoma have finally begun to wake up and fight for their rights,' she told HuffPost. 'I saw a sea of signs that caught my eye, but this one in particular — I loved its offensive language, because it's just as offensive for Republicans of Oklahoma to do what they're doing as it relates to women's bodies. I don't apologize for it.'"

AMEN to that

"Ever heard of Edwin Grasse?" Bob asked one Tuesday when he entered the WPRB studio at the end of my show.
"No," I replied. I didn't think I had.
"He's a good composer," Bob said, "And a pianist. And an organist. But he was blind from birth."
I was suddenly alert.
"When was he born?" I asked.
"Late nineteenth century."
"Did he live in New York?"
"I think I know a story about him!"

The final play of the late August Wilson's 10-play cycle chronicles black culture through each decade of the 20th century. "Radio Golf" – about gentrification and assimilation – is headed to Broadway. But before it makes it to New York, it has a run at the Huntington Theatre Sept. 8- Oct. 15, which coincides with the anniversary of the Theatre's 25th
John Earl Jelks (l., with Rocky Carroll) stars in the Huntington Theatre Company production of August Wilson's Radio Golf, running Sept. 8-Oct. 15 at the Boston University Theatre, 264 Huntington Avenue. Tickets purchased for the run of the show on August 17 are just $25, no matter the seat location or date chosen.
Artistic director Nicholas Martin hopes the low price will encourage a wider spectrum of folks to attend, adding "we hope people who see this production will be interested in reading and seeing more of Wilson's works, to understand the mammoth contribution he made to African-American history and modern theatre.''
Nuts and bolts: Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. at the Huntington's Boston University box office at 264 Huntington Ave. Sales by phone (617-266-0800), on-line (huntingtontheatre.org) and in person (Calderwood Pavilion box office, 527 Tremont St.) begin at noon.

This is my wife's gaming PC. I purchased the AM3+ mobo back when Bulldozer was only hype, with the hope that it would have decent performance. Also, the mobo use to be paired with an X6 1100t which has somehow become damaged, even though it still works, but seriously underperforms in benches and games. Anyway... Yeah. The PC is sporting an old X4 965 (140W model, too!) which is now paired with a Radeon 7970 video card. It works well enough I guess, but I'm always looking to upgrade. So my question is, would an FX-8350 be significantly better? And by better I don't mean just in BF3 which is highly multithreaded, but in older, single-threaded games too? I looked on various sites for comparisons, but all I can find is the FX compared to other FX'es, Sandies, and Ivies. Never the older Phenom II generation, so it's really hard for me to form an opinion. Thoughts?
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/11/06/amd-fx-8350-review/6 Yes it will be better than a 965 but i don't think its worth to make that upgrade.
Well, are games bottle-necking on the CPU? If GPU cycles aren't being left un-used, I wouldn't worry about it. It's a worth while upgrade if you want to upgrade though, it really depends on what games are being played and if the CPU is the weakest link.
It will be better, present games or older games, remember it has 4 ghz. but It just might add a few FPS. so I'd recommend not upgrading.. Steam Roller will be am3+ so you could still use the mobo for next gen
Correction, it might be on AM3+. I went from a Phenom II X4 940 to a FX-8120 and now to a FX-8350. Each CPU offered me a substantial performance increase in games and in Real World everyday usage. Yes upgrade, it's well worth the gains. AMD did a great job with Piledriver.
Piledriver is fine, but it might be worth waiting for the next one because he got already got a Phenom II X4 965 and it is still be using the same socket
Piledriver is a substantial upgrade. Waiting for next one is an ongoing battle. Then GPU is then outdated and it is a never ending battle to stay current. Piledriver is current technology, performs well and priced right. Waiting means a minimum of mid 2014, most probably 3rd quarter of 2014. Your talking 8 to 10 months.
He is asking if it is significantly better, which is not quite. so its better to stick with his current build. wait for months, then go with steamroller. If the GPU is outdated, then fine. upgrade it as well, nothing wrong with that.
Negative. why would he wait for almost a year? The instruction code has been re written by AMD for Piledriver and it would be a good upgrade. And heck, he can get a 8350 for $189. Go for it. Some people are so negative. LOL (kidding)
The gaming performance of the Piledriver FX series is onpar with the Bloomfield i7 920 or better or about the same as an Ivy Bridge i3. So I would say it would be a jump from an Phenom II X4 965. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/5 Non gaming seems to be anywhere from on par with the i5 2500k to above the i7 3770k. So in that respect its a huge upgrade. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/4 http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/3
What, all the way up to i3 levels? :shadedshu Oh AMD, why? I dunno, I'll see if i can pick one up cheap... Mostly because I don't think overclocking a 140W CPU is such a good idea. The mobo might be quality, but it can only take so much... So thanks for all the info guys. Certainly Steamroller on the same socket is good news indeed. AMD, please, do a good job OK? Please? I don't want to be forced to go Inhell...
If that motherboard is damaged in anyway, no guarantee you will reap benefits of a Piledriver CPU. OCing the 940 watt part with proper cooling is still a plus, besides the Am3+ motherboards have additional powerphases that the previous AM3 did not.
You say that like its a bad thing. The Ivy Bridge i3 is pretty powerful for a dual core. In actuality in many limited threaded games the Ivy Bridge i3 can hang with the i5 and i7 just fine. In games the Piledriver FX is just above or below the i5 3470 and i5 2500k or the same as the Ivy Bridge i3. I don't know how you can ask for more? http://www.techspot.com/review/586-amd-fx-8350-fx-6300/page6.html Gaming performance will only get better too. i3 are dual core so they are already at the end of the line. If invest in a FX you've got security that your CPU will only perform better between now and your next upgrade.
Well i currently run a 965 with two 7870's and i just bought a 8350 but i havent installed it yet as im goiing to benchmark the old 965 first in a bunch of games and then compare with the 8350 to see if there is a jump or not. If your interested ill post some results?
Trinity beats most i3's. LOL Post the results. The last batches of 965's got up to 4.5GHz BTW. Older batches were lucky to hit 4.1GHz.
All i3's ..and the i7 3xxx too. If we are talking about the Ivy Bridge as an APU rather than CPU, then AMD is miles ahead of Intel in the gaming department. Very interested to see your results. Keep us posted.
I noticed a boost in performance with Skyrim and RAGE with my FX-8350 and them some with my OC. Don't know if it's my batch or not but this Piledriver is fast.
Will do, ill try to do all the benchmarking today as im getting the itch bad to run this 8350 lol Ok awesome, well ill find out i guess, i have a thread here > http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177387 to give you an idea on what ill be benching But ill be running the Intel systems after xmas sometime

Dominus Estate 2007
Dominus epitomizes the best qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon in a historic terroir of Napa Valley. Since its first release in 1983, the proprietary blend has been known for its extraordinary complexity and earthiness. The 2007 vintage has received universal acclaim with the Wine Enthusiast claiming to be "easily the greatest Dominus in memory."
Tasting Notes:
Beautifully crafted, ripe, rich, and creamy, Dominus Estate shows off sweet vanilla and mocha-scented oak before unfolding a deep core of blackberry tart, cherry, carob bean, and spice flavors. Firm tannins add structure on the finish.
94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot.
Exceptional potential for aging, with a suggested ten years for optimal maturity. This wine should drink well for the next 20-25 years.
Opus One 2009
Full medium ruby. Wild, flamboyantly expressive aromas of black raspberry, crystallized blackberry, smoke, leather, licorice, bitter chocolate and cedar, lifted by violet and spices. Smooth, mouthfilling and decidedly dry, with a lightly dusty character to its flavors of dark fruits, minerals and game. The broad, very long finish features building tannins. Quite different in style from the higher-pitched 2008, which was tighter and more floral at the same stage of its evolution.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of black olive and minerals underlie more traditional notes of dark chocolate, cola and espresso. Showing flavors of ripe blueberry, cassis and licorice, this age-worthy wine simultaneously offers a smooth finish and a slight grip of tannin at the close.
81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, 1% Malbec
Best from 2014 through 2025.

EAST SPRINGFIELD - In Weirton Post 10's win at Richmond Post 740 Wednesday, it was the bottom of the order that made the difference.
The very bottom.
Weirton No. 9 batter Reuben Pine connected for three hits and drove in six runs to lead Post 10's offensive onslaught in the 12-6 win.
Article Photos
RUNDOWN — Richmond catcher Donavon Martin has Weirton's Reuben Pine in a rundown during Wednesday's game. Martin threw to third baseman Mark Smyth for the putout on the play. Weirton won, 12-6.
-- Fred Younce
"Weirton owns us," said Richmond head coach Sam Davis, whose team also struggled to a 9-2 home loss earlier in the year to Weirton. "(Weirton head coach) Billy (Magnone) said he wants to play all his home games here. We threw it in there and they hit it.
"I thought we threw some pretty good pitchers. I tip my hat to them."
Added Magnone of his team's success in East Springfield, "I think it's a relaxed atmosphere personally. It's nice and relaxed. We play well here."
Both teams are preparing for tournament play next week, with Weirton set to begin the Area One Tournament in West Virginia and Richmond to start the 10th District Tournament in Ohio.
"Offensively, we hit the ball well and we kept pressing them so we feel good about that moving forward," said Magnone.
"Offensively thumbs up, but defensively we have to get better. Especially with the tournament coming up."
Added Davis of his team's impending tourney, "We're not swinging the bats real well now. I'm hoping that we get through our little funk and get ready for next week.
"We got our swings in and we got our pitchers some work so we're getting ready for next week. That's the whole deal."
Pine was the offensive leader with his RBIs coming on a two-run single in the second, a three-run triple in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh. Chris Perna had a single, an RBI double and scored three runs in the eighth spot. John Shaw and Josh Russell each drove in two runs on two hits.
For Richmond, Greg Stagani had a pair of singles and a pair of runs scored. Alec Jones blasted an RBI triple, and Storm Allese had a single and drove in two runs.
Both teams take to the field today, with Weirton hosting Steubenville at 6 p.m. and Richmond traveling to Wayne County for a nine-inning game at 5:30 p.m.

Using OpenCL
Pentaho – Using Formulas in Our Reports
In this article, by Mariano Garcia Mattio and Dario R. Bernabeu, authors of the book Penatho 5.0 Learning by Example, we will talk about formulas. We will explain in detail how to create them and use them. We will use a practical example to guide us as we explain how to work with formulas, creating general use formulas that we can use as an object and specific-use formulas that we can apply to our objects' styles and attributes. We will see the full potential that formulas offer in our reports, and we will create formulas that can be manipulated by the parameters that end users select.
By the end of the practical example, we will see how the combination of formulas and parameters opens up new horizons for the creation and personalization of reports and allows us great flexibility in design.
In this article we will do the following:
- Create a copy of the previous report, adapt to its layout, and give our parameters default values
- Create a formula that makes a row-by-row calculation and later add it to the Details section
- Configure the background color of one of our report's objects using a formula
- Create two new parameters so that the end user can choose the evaluation criteria of this formula.
Scalability, Limitations, and Effects
This article created by Matt Fisher, the author of HTML5 for Flash Developers will discuss many of the specific features of HTML5 that have allowed it to gain extensive usage and popularity, becoming more like typical Flash development.
What we will cover in this article:
- Initial development limitations and ways to avoid them
- Some of the new and exciting CSS3 additions
- Developing responsive layouts for mobile and desktop
- Targeting CSS styles for specific displays with CSS Media Queries
- Controlling and streaming audio and video, and the limitations compared to Flash
- Client-side file integration and manipulation
- Sending heavy processes to the background with HTML5 Web Workers
- Introduction to server-side communication with WebSockets
- Understanding what the Canvas element is and why it's important
- Introduction to WebGL and its relation to Stage3D
What is Hazelcast?
This article by Mat Johns, the author of Getting Started with Hazelcast, gives a brief description about Hazelcast. By the end of this article, you will be aware that Hazelcast is a radical new approach to data, designed from the ground up around distribution. It embraces a new scalable way of thinking. The major feature about Hazelcast is its master less nature; each node is configured to be functionally the same.
Most, if not all, applications need to store some data, some applications far more than others. By holding this article in your eager hands and starting to flip through its pages, it might be safe to assume you have previously worked to architect, develop, or support applications more towards the latter end of that scale. We could imagine that you are all too painfully familiar with the common pitfalls and issues that tend to crop up around scaling or distributing your data layer. But to make sure we are all up to speed, in this article, we shall examine:
- Traditional approaches to data persistence
- How caches have helped improve performance, but bring about their own problems
- Hazelcast's fresh approach to the problem
- A brief overview its generic capabilities
- Summary of what type of problems we might solve using it
Testing with Xtext and Xtend
In this article by Lorenzo Bettini, author of the book Implementing Domain-Specific Languages with Xtext and Xtend, you will learn how to test a DSL implementation by using the Junit framework and the additional utility classes provided by Xtext. This way, your DSL implementation will have a suite of tests that can be run automatically. We will use the Entities DSL developed previously for showing the typical techniques for testing both the runtime and the UI features of a DSL implemented in Xtext.

Read Nokogiri in fullIRC-style chat with TCP server and event bus
In this article by Simone Scarduzio, the author of Instant Vert.x, a brief and step-wise explanation of creating an Internet Relay Chat has been described. This chat includes a main TCP server, and an event bus for communicating between the different connected clients. In this type of architecture, a one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many communications are possible.
As an example, let's show off a bit of what an event bus can do. This is a TCP server that fans out messages received from one client to the rest of the connected clients.
This is an event bus-based variation of the classic "fan out" example that can be found in official documentation of Vert.x. The original example keeps a set of client sockets (one for every connected client) and iterates over them every time a new message is received. With this one however, we will demonstrate how the publish-subscribe feature offered by this framework, keeps the code simple by saving the hassle to keep updated and iterate over a set of client sockets.

This article created by Aditya Balapure, the author of Learning Metasploit Exploitation and Development,discusses about exploitation, which refers to the art of compromising a computer system. The basics of computer exploitation involves a deep understanding of the vulnerabilities and payloads. An exploit is a piece of well-written code, compiled and executed on a targeted system, which may compromise that system. An exploit usually targets a known vulnerability, a flaw in a service or a poorly written code. In this article, we will discuss the basics of how to find vulnerable systems and then exploit them.

Victory in Comparison Test: FRITZ!Box 7270 is "very good" |
The FRITZ!Box 7270 was the only router to receive the "very good" rating. A great success for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270: "Guter Rat!", a consumer magazine from Berlin, asked: Which dual-band routers are the best? The test looked at eleven devices that can transmit in both the 2.4-GHz and the 5-GHz range so that they can avoid potential sources of interference. Representing AVM was the FRITZ!Box 7270, which headed the field by a clear margin and was the only router to receive the "very good" rating.
Especially impressive were the router's simple operation and quick setup. The variety of features in the FRITZ!Box 7270 was also lauded. The editors summed up: "The clear test winner is the FRITZ!Box 7270." Source : avm.de |

I believe you can sign up for a paid account with Spotify and actually download songs. Whether these can transfer to an mp3 player---doubt it. Perhaps to a smartphone with the Spotify app installed. You can also save some Slacker stuff for offline, but those are "stations" and not individually downloaded tracks you can select without limit. I don't know of anything other than ZunePass that allows total freedom of downloads to an mp3 player (and I include PlaysForSure stuff such as Zen and Sansa because it works although "unsupported"). Edit---yes, I do. Rhapsody allows mp3 downloads to select players. I just quit that service when I joined ZunePass. I had a grandfathered "Yahoo Music Unlimited" account that did NOT allow downloads to an mp3 player--only to the computer. Personally, I find myself using my WP7 more and more for music (also have a Zune HD and Sansa Clip+). With the exception of channel support, there is not much missing in the "Zune" implementation of Windows Phone. Audiobooks are an "outside" app (OverDrive, Audible). UPDATE 8-29-12---just got email from XBox that channels, Zune Apps, MixView are all GONE in 2 days. No longer supported by any Zune, Zune software, etc..

The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) staff at the Department of Insurance is now available to help Louisiana Medicare beneficiaries enroll in one of a large number of Louisiana Medicare Stand-Alone Rx plans available in 2008. Beneficiaries who have not already enrolled in a Medicare Prescription drug plan or who wish to change plans may do so between Nov. 15 and Dec. 31. SHIIP staff can also assist in comparing Medicare Advantage Plans. Beneficiaries are encouraged to enroll or make changes in the present coverage by December 8 to ensure that they will be able to get their prescription on January 1, according to Commissioner of Insurance Jim Donelon.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2008 plan comparison information is now available for viewing at www.medicare.gov. The SHIIP staff at the Department of Insurance is on standby to assist beneficiaries who do not have access to a computer or who need help when comparing prescription plans or choosing one for the first time. To take advantage of SHIIP's free service, call the nationwide, toll-free number, 1-800-259-5301.
"You need to start thinking about your choices early if you are enrolling in the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan for the first time or if you want to consider changing plans," SHIIP Director Alan Heumann said. To view all your plan options, go to the Department of Insurance Web site, www.ldi.state.la.us, and click on "2008 Louisiana Stand-Alone Medicare Rx Plans." Changing plans could include moving to or from a Medicare Advantage plan.
"December is no time to get involved in a rush to make major health care decisions," Donelon said. "Avoid the frantic holiday pace by letting SHIIP counselors help you make an early decision about your 2008 Medicare prescription drug coverage."
