I agree
No thanks
Am i the only one who thinks it doesn't make any sense to start off with 1500psr?
Especially if AB is determined based on PSR! A person who has never played, 0 games under their belt, will have the same PSR as a person who sucked it up down to say 1300, but learned and now after 100 games is back to 1500.
Both these players will have the same PSR but one is now vastly more experienced than the other! So as it stands right now PSR does not properly determine a players skill. This kind of thing throws off the AB so much!
My idea is to rework the PSR system. Instead of making it like golf, where u go +/-. Why not start at 0 and work your way up? And add PSR gain for individual accomplishments as well? This way you would gain some psr even if ur team lost but you actually played well.
So here are some ideas of how you would gain PSR:
-Team wins the game
-# of Creep/Neutral killed/denied
-# of Towers Destroyed/denied
-Double/Triple kills, etc
-Accumulated Dmg done to enemy heroes
-You hero lvl or exp per game
-Gold spent/gained per game
The only way you would lose PSR:
I think a system like this would give a true representation of a players "pub skill". It makes AB actually balanced! Doing PSR this way encourages people to play more as well as play good! Even if your team is losing you can still gain PSR. So you want to do well in each game in order to get the most PSR.
One of the best things with this is that it doesn't further penalize players for losing a game. If you lose a game, u already won't get the extra PSR for winning, so that is already a penalty. Thoughts? Anyone else think the current PSR needs changing?
*Note: I thought of this after as well. If PSR is changed and works like how i described it could also be used as a "wager" in each game.
So before the game starts a player could suggest a "psr bet", ie, 500 PSR. The winning team would gain that extra PSR from the other team! The 500 PSR would be taken from the losing team using a percentage based system. Higher psr would give more to the pot, while lower psr players put in less. The game would automatically decide the amounts. So how much you will be putting into the teams "wager" would be shown to you and before game starts all players must vote to accept the terms of the bet. Ideally i see this as something that would be great for clan vs clan games. This way you have something to put on the line!
negative numbers would ruin any formula.
Really, I think PSR should be based on KD/A(ssist)R + win/lose ratio, that's it.
PSR gains with anything except winning a game is bad, this is a team game.
Plus that thing about starting from 0, check the thread in my sig it suggests it, just in a better way.
I actually like the idea of perhaps not losing psr until you reach 1500. but i think my suggestion is still valid. i am NOT suggesting that k:d:a is the only way to gain psr.
I know HoN is a team game. My PSR system would see you gain more points for winning a game. But also gain some points based on things you accomplish per game. Depending on the heroe u choose, other ways to gain PSR could be:
For healers:
amounts of heroes healed
total health healed
For disablers:
heroes disabled
total disabled duration
PSR is supposed to be a Pub Skill Rating. And despite being a "team game" since PSR is used to Auto Balance public games individual skill must be taken into account. And that is my whole point. That the current PSR system doesnt truly reflect an individual players skill.
Ppl may also argue, "well you don't look at PSR anyways, you click on someones stats". Sure of course you can do that, but why have PSR then? If we had a better PSR system then we could actually rely on it to balance teams. Why not put the effort in to make it better!?
Also to the ppl that argue, "oh you'll get everyone being a stat whore". Well lets make it possible for players to gain PSR based on things like i mentioned above, healing, disabling, tanking, etc. So a Puppet Master could gain the same if not more PSR per game than a Scout.
If we have PSR gains for a wide variety of skills then it would actually encourage teamwork! Healers would want to heal their allies, Tanks want to get in a fight, if for example they gained PSR for taking more hero dmg! Players want to participate in ganks knowing that they get PSR for assists too.
Seriously, its a good system, and would work a heck of a lot better than how it is right now.
imo too advanced. doesnt have to be that complicated. What you are proposing, would increase and increase. Where, a total rubbish player have massively higher rating than another bloke, just because hes played more. So then we're into, farming rating.
it makes perfect sense that a player has a higher rating cuz they play more. if u're making a game that is what u want to encourage, that ppl play u're game more.
and if a player is truly "rubbish" then their rating still won't go up that fast, it still takes someone who plays well to earn PSR.
Seriously, farming rating!? Inevitalby you'll never have a perfect rating system. Even the current PSR system gets exploited. But i'm so surprised that ppl are missing the freaking point, that the current system is inadaquate at properly determining skill! Especially for autobalancing games.
You don't have a choice for a maybe, i had a similar idea; however, my idea didn't have the psr lowered at all, rather the system was all positive. It was similar to call of duty and the promotions. You move up as you get a kill +1, assist +1, win (time (based on 10 minute intervals starting from 1 would be 10 going down to 1) + 5), and possibly towers, but you get a tower every game, so it would throw it off. This system would allow people to understand your skill because you improve as you play the game and would balance later.
what!? FiNGERS you're statement makes no logic at all. Based on the fact that both players start off on the same basis, skill-wise. And one player plays "1000+" games, they are at the same level as someone who has played 0!? What!?
Some ppl here really make me question the basic intelligence of HoN players....
I never said dropping to 1300 then going back to 1500 makes u good, why do ppl put words in my mouth!? I said they are more experienced...sigh...
A person who has played many more games, and have improved their psr should be playing with better players, not someone who just started...really, where does this nonsense logic come from that they shouldn't?
No no no! What the heck??? Again, start off with the same skill base, lets say both players are new to HoN/DotA. If someone sucked it up but after 1000 games (way to use an exaggerated number but w/e) goes back up to 1500 and say is now at like a 3:1 K : D. Their PSR will be the same as a complete noobie who knows nothing! Now how does that AB make any sense??Both players are still bad and should be playing against one another. You seem to think someone at 1500 PSR after a 1000+ games is good? No. They aren't.
The main point still stands. The current PSR system doesn't reflect skill/experience properly and can not be used to auto-balance games. It needs to be changed.
Sorry impBloody, i couldn't make heads or tails of how your system works.
It seems to me that the entire PSR system takes a game that is extremely noob-unfriendly [like any team based game can be] and really gives those who discriminate against people trying to learn the game an edge.
I believe the PSR system works. Autobalance is fairly consistent. My friends and I had very low PSRs after just starting the game, but it didnt take long for it to even out as we got more and more points for beating players with a higher PSR. My point is PSR really does balance teams in the long run. However, my key suggestion would be that PSR be a less public number. I don't see why it has to be labelled next to each name in order for team balancing to occur. I think all we need to see is win % chance, kd, and have an autobalance. Hopefully that would create a friendlier environment for new kiddos.
I thought of a similar system, although a bit more complicated and detailed, but it was shot down and I was flamed for it incessantly.
You can take a look if you'd like, I spent quite a while tweaking it according to people's suggestions, alas it seems they'll never change it to anything other than win/loss.
Here it is:
-Killing an enemy hero (last hit) = 7 points
-Killing an enemy hero and dealing 75% or more of the dmg yourself/no assists = 10 points (basically meaning you soloed the person -- the percentage of dmg is negotiable obviously)
*Note: I still think that soloing a hero should reward more points, but only for the early/mid game, since being fed late game can lead to abuse and racking up points
For -EM games: until 15 minutes in
For non-EM games: until 25 minutes in
*After the timer, points gained would be reduced to 7
-Assisting in killing an enemy hero = 5 points
-Healing/buffing/shielding/etc. a hero who subsequently gets a kill withint 10 seconds results in an assist (+5 points)
-Healing/buffing/invising/shielding/etc. a hero that has taken damage in the last 5 seconds and is below 20% max hp results in a small assist (+2 points)
-Healing an allied hero that takes sufficient damage to die (within 15 seconds) if they had not received the heal would result in an assist (+5 points)
-Dying = -7 points (now equivalent to killing - last hit)
-Killing a creep = 0.05 point
-Denying a creep = 0.10 point
-Killing a weak neutral creep (usually the baby snotters, etc.) = 0.02 point
-Killing a medium strength neutral creep (Pretty much everything else except the two very hard camps) = 0.04 point
*Points for killing lane creeps/neutrals/denying will only be recorded until:
-EM (10 mins in)
-non-EM (20 mins in)
-Killing very strong neutral creeps = 0.05 point (These usually cannot be killed easily early on, so I think it'd be okay to record these for the duration of the game, plus it's not a huge amount of points, and there's only two camps on the standard map)
-Assisting in destroying/or last hitting a tower = 10 points
-Denying a tower = 10 points
-Assisting in killing a rax = 15 points
(Extra points would not be rewarded for last hitting the rax when other allies are near, to prevent unnecessary competition)
-Killing/assisting in killing "roshan" (forgot the name of the one in HoN) = ???# points (I have no opinion on this one, but thought it might be fun to add in)
-Being within 1000 range of an allied tower/rax while it is being attacked by enemy heroes = 1 point (this would encourage defending)
*I also figured it'd be nice to include the amount of exp/min one receives as part of the score, but am not sure what kinds of numbers to use for that - suggestions appreciated!
I strongly believe there should be separate point ratings for -EM and non-EM games, due to the amount of hero kills/deaths that usually occur in each. If the numbers are scaled to the amount of time played, -EM players will always have a higher rating. Of course this would not be necessary if a math wiz found a good formula to balance the two.
By the way, I would hope that each person's rating (on their profile) would show up as an average number for the games they've played.
So what's to stop a group of 10 friends from making a game and taking turns repeatedly killing each other's entire team?
Each Legion player would get ~25 rating from assisting in killing 5 Hellbourne players, then would take a 7 rating death hit from the Hellbourne doing the same thing.
Repeat and everyone wins, except the system.
Only change I believe should be made to the current PSR system is that there should be seperate em and normal ratings - a 1600+ em game is so drastically different to a 1600+ normal game.
Making changes like +rating for hero and creep kills is completely silly. This isn't a hero arena, things like that don't matter. What matters at the end of the game is whether or not you killed the tree, and that's what should determine PSR.
IMO the OP is right.
at present if I see someone on my team with a 1500 psr rating and 0 matches played, I usually disconnect, why ? because it's imbalanced.
someone with 1300 psr that has played 10 matches is most likely more informed and more skilled than someone completely new to the scene starting with 1500 psr and no matches played (and no idea about denies, laning, jungling, pushing, the consequences for getting killed etc etc)
in my experience the psr system works okay for the most part (it does have it's faults all systems do)
having a brand new player start with 1500 psr playing against (potentially) veteran players with 1400 - 1600 psr = game breaker. I speak from experience as when I started I actually was a complete noob and broke several games and was also kicked from several for "feeding" (I had no clue, I was completely new).
looking back I would have had a much better experience of HoN if I had started with LOW psr (like 1k or 1100) and had to work my way up instead of having to endure the multitude of insults and verbal thrashings for being totally new to the game, the community and the genre.
I see less need to rework the psr system and greater need to lower the starting psr for new accounts, rather drastically, ecspecially if S2games wants people that have not played DoTA to do more than play one game of HoN where they are treated so poorly by veteran players that they wish to quit.
new entrants into the genre require an environment free of scathing remarks from crybabies afraid to lose because of how their stats will suffer.
I completely agree with Ubiquity! When i started playing HoN, i played a few pub games and a) died a lot and b) got verbally trashed by my team. A horrible gaming experience!
Luckily i have a good group of friends that play with me and taught me pretty much everything on how to play so now i'm a half-decent player. But without them i doubt i would have continued playing this game.
My brother had the same experience, i gave him a beta key and he hated joining games and playing cuz of the other players, ppl are just rude, insulting and nasty to new players. But his starting psr (1500) did not reflect his experience.
If HoN is just trying to target DoTA players then i guess psr doesn't have to be reworked perfectly.
but if S2 wants to attract new players, then the psr needs to reflect experience and skill a lot better! So that these players are matched up properly in ab games. We can hope that the "match making" system solves some of these problems.

USDA Expands Contracting Authority for Beef Checkoff Program
AMS No. 182-12
Michael T. Jarvis (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, August 24, 2012--The U.S. Department of Agricultures Agricultural Marketing Service has announced a final rule expanding the contracting authority for the Beef Promotion and Research Program.
The Beef Promotion and Research Act (Act) requires that the Beef Promotion Operating Committee enter into contracts with established national non-profit industry-governed organizations. The Beef Promotion and Research Order (Order) also required that such organizations be active and ongoing before the enactment of the Act in 1986.
With the goal of enhancing the overall success and support of the Beef Checkoff Program, several beef industry organizations met recently and agreed that it was necessary to expand the contracting authority established under the Act and Order to uphold the integrity of the Beef Checkoff Program.
The Order previously provided that only national non-profit industry-governed organizations that were active and ongoing before the enactment of the Act were eligible to contract with the Beef Promotion Operating Committee. This rule eliminates that date requirement so that organizations otherwise qualified but created since 1986 are now eligible to contract with the Beef Promotion Operating Committee to provide Beef Checkoff programs, as long as they have been active and ongoing for at least two years. The change will allow the Beef Promotion Operating Committee to contract with organizations possessing the requisite experience, skills, and information related to the marketing of beef and beef products, as is intended under the Act.
Details of the final rule will be published soon in the
Federal Register
. Copies of the final rule and additional information will be available at

Hello, castaways. Having fun?
This season, I've decided to double up everything. That explains why I picked 24 castaways.
We are in Moku Lua in Hawaii, also known as the TWIN ISLANDS.
That being said, tingin sa kaliwa at tingin sa kanan. Yes, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
You will be playing alongside with your LONG LOST TWIN.
I will send you and your twin a PM na nagsasabing kayo nga ang kambal. You and him/her may or may not be on the same tribe.
1. As twins, YOU RE NOT REQUIRED TO BE ALLIES. You can do whatever you want. However,
2. You CANNOT vote for your Twin. Not until the final 5.
3. If you and your twin manage to survive until the MERGE, you will receive a hidden immunity idol. One HII for both of you.
I recommend that you keep the information private. Believe me, it will help if you keep that dirty little secret.

A A+F Academics: its tons of fun, lots of opportunities
A A+F Academics: The president of our school, Kim B. Clark, was previously the Dean of Business at Harvard, so obviously he's brought a few changes and upgrades to the business program here. A unique thing we have is the Integrated Business Core, or IBC, which is a real-life scenario that lasts one semester where the business students create their own business, sell things on campus and in the community, and keep track of expenses. They get a chance to practice what they've been learning for a few years and see how to apply it in real life. Also, internships are required during your off-track so you can start experiencing real businesses and learn on the job. The school also works really hard to help students find internships and even jobs after graduation.
A A+F Academics: The professors here are all wonderful! They really care about their students and helping them succeed and understand what they're learning. If you struggle in a class and go to the professor, they're willing to help you if you're willing to put forth the extra effort required. Registration can be difficult sometimes, but I honestly think it's probably the same anywhere. There are cool places to study all over campus, whether you want to be in some secluded spot where no one can find you or you need to study with a group or work on a project together, there's a place for everyone, indoor or outdoor.
B A+F Academics: My major is political science and I love all of my professors and enjoy all of my classes!
B A+F Academics: At BYU-Idaho, they have certain classes that all freshmen have to take and they are called foundations courses.

BYU-Idaho is very focused on practical education. The school definitely holds learning as its primary goal, which correlates with the school's mission to build an environment that cultivates disciple leaders, with an emphasis on secular learning and study.
Most BYU-I teachers are very willing to help. Unlike many universities, professors are not required to be working on getting published or continually participating in extensive research to further their academic contributions. Professors are solely responsible for teaching. The class sizes are fairly small, especially the upper-level courses. Some general courses have around 50 to 60 students, but on average, they're closer to 30 people per class.

San José/Evergreen Community College District: Professor Fired for Protected Classroom Speech
Professor June Sheldon, an adjunct instructor at San José City College found herself without a job after a discussion on homosexuality in her Human Heredity course resulted in an anonymous complaint. Sheldon, who was accused of teaching "unscientific" points of view, responded to her letter of termination with a twenty page document asserting her innocence and declaring that her due process rights were guaranteed in her union's collective bargaining agreement. FIRE intervened on Sheldon's behalf, citing her academic freedom rights pursuant and demanded her reinstatement, but the SJCC Board of Trustees affirmed her dismissal. Sheldon's lawsuit, which is assisted by the Alliance Defense Fund and Pacific Justice Institute, is pending.
- "Victory for Academic Freedom: 'Human Heredity' Professor Receives $100,000 Settlement," July 26, 2010: Nearly three years after terminating her over her protected classroom speech, the San José/Evergreen Community College District (SJCCD) has agreed to pay adjunct professor June Sheldon $100,000 in lost earnings in exchange for dismissal of her First Amendment lawsuit. In 2007, Sheldon had led a brief discussion about the nature/nurture debate regarding sexual orientation in her Human Heredity course. After she was fired due to a student complaint, she turned to FIRE for help.

After a student complained that the discussion had been "offensive," the San José/Evergreen Community College District terminated Professor June Sheldon without a proper hearing. She contacted FIRE for help.

Although Sheldon denied having said the wild things the student had accused her of saying, a weak investigation by her dean (without a proper hearing) led the dean to declare that Sheldon had not been teaching "science," which led to Sheldon being fired. The lawsuit cites FIRE's February 8 letter to the San José/Evergreen Community College District and emphasizes the district's violations of Sheldon's constitutional rights. Thanks to the ADF and PJI for taking up Sheldon's case and defending academic freedom.

Summary and Book Reviews
Eleanor & Park: Summary and book reviews of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
In the end, I had a deep sense of who Eleanor and Park were – as individual notes and as a song. A punk rock song. A little dissonant, a little loud, but a song I wanted to sing along with, one of those songs that gets under my skin and matches the beat of my own heart. (Reviewed by Tamara Smith).

Half nuclear weapon, half conventional explosive, a dirty bomb is cause for concern because it could potentially spread radioactive material over a broad region. But dirty bombs aren't as scary as you might think.
Basically, a small amount of radioactive material is surrounding by a conventional explosive, such as TNT. When the bomb detonates, the radioactive material becomes airborne and scatters across the surrounding area.
A dirty bomb is not "nuclear" in the sense of an atomic or hydrogen bomb, or even a nuclear power plant. There is no fission (splitting of the atomic nucleus) or fusion (combining atomic nuclei). Instead, highly unstable versions of some radioactive elements decay rapidly, emitting rays of energy, such as gamma rays that damage living cells, in the process.
It's the radiation dosage that determines how much damage is likely to be done. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors of nuclear bombs were exposed to enormous doses of radiation -- exactly how much depended on how far they were from the center of the blast. In contrast, small amounts of radiation reach us every day from the Sun, and we are sometimes exposed to carefully calculated doses of radiation when we get an X-ray or a radiation treatment.
Dirty bombs, while dangerous, are unlikely to emit radiation in highly concentrated amounts. That's because the bigger the conventional bomb that distributes the radioactive material, the better it will spread. More people will be exposed to a lower dose of radiation in a larger explosion; a smaller explosion would expose a few people to a very high dose. It's still cause for concern, but would not necessarily lead to a sharp increase in cancer deaths, for example.
The most likely source of radioactive material for a dirty bomb would be the radioactive isotopes used to sterilize food and medical equipment, or to treat cancer. The most highly radioactive are cobalt-60 and cesium-137. But handling these materials may also kill the bomb maker. Unshielded cesium-137, for example, could kill the handler in minutes unless it is shielded with lead. This type of bomb would be large and unwieldy, and easily detectable by security systems.
The American Meteorological Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

I'm delighted to see the release of a new Robert Sheckley collection, Store of the Worlds: The Stories of Robert Sheckley. Curated by Jonathan Lethem and Alex Abramovich and part of the New York Review Books Classics series, this is a very well done collection of a seriously overlooked SF author. I got my copy at Borderlands the other day, and its a lovely addition to my Sheckley collection.
I was lucky to have a few vintage pocketbook collections of Robert Sheckley's stories handed down to me as a child and have been a fan ever since. He wrote over 400 incredible short stories and 15+ novels, and was a huge influence on the New Wave of SF in the 60′s. Sheckley is well-known inside the SF community, but much of his work has fallen long out of print, and since most of my old pocket books are now mostly held together with tape or stored in ziploc baggies, I've been really excited with the recent reprints put out by NESFA and especially excited by this collection, which focuses on his work from the 1950′s.
Lethem and Abramovich describe his style better than I ever could in the introduction -
Sheckley's stories operate as irresistible language artifacts, like extended puns or paradoxes: off-kilter, provocative, unsettling even if partly silly. They're like psychedelic lamps that cast an eerie light in one room where they're encountered, but then turn out to transform one's view of all subsequent rooms. These are the kind of stories which, if young or otherwise inattentive at first encounter, you may forget the titles and the author's name, only to rediscover them in some anthology many years later, with a sense of recognition akin to discovering someone else recounting a dream that you yourself once had.
- Store of the Worlds: The Stories of Robert Sheckley, pg. viii
Highly recommended and available at fine bookstores everywhere.

Alternative medicine
By Mayo Clinic staffFrom stimulating your scalp with hair pulling to drinking sauerkraut juice, proposed alternative remedies for hangovers abound. Studies haven't found any natural remedies that consistently improve hangover symptoms. Still, some vitamins and herbs may help your body clear toxins, including:
- B vitamins
- Vitamin C
- Evening primrose oil
- Milk thistle (Silybum marianum)
- Globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus)
Talk with your doctor before trying any alternative medicine. Natural doesn't always mean safe. Your doctor can help you understand possible risks and benefits before you try a treatment.

Yet another BU or Proof idea from the government rocket scientists who

U.S. coin series will feature women, for a change
From the Associated Press
December 17, 2006
WASHINGTON — Not to be outdone by their husbands, the nation's first ladies will get their chance to shine on U.S. coins.
Starting next year, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams and the rest will appear on a new series of gold coins. It will be the first time the U.S. Mint has produced a series featuring women.
A new presidential series will be on $1 circulating coins, and the wives will be on half-ounce gold coins likely to sell for more than $300 apiece.
Both coins were authorized by Congress in 2005, with lawmakers modeling the $1 coin series after the Mint's popular 50-state quarters.
The hope is that changing the images every three months will help the maligned dollar coin achieve acceptance. The Susan B. Anthony dollar, introduced in 1979, and the Sacagawea, introduced in 2000, have both been flops.
The half-ounce gold coins have been designed to appeal primarily to collectors, although the Mint will be offering bronze replicas that will sell for $3 to $4.
The first four coins are scheduled to go on sale around Mother's Day, but the public will get a first look at the designs at an unveiling ceremony Tuesday at the National First Ladies Library in Canton, Ohio.
The series' first coin features a stern-looking Martha Washington wearing a bonnet on one side; the other will have a depiction of her mending a soldier's jacket and the phrase: "First Lady of the Continental Army."
^^What horse shit. If you want to do something nice for a women?
Go buy her a $2,000 ring and a dozen roses.

Not like Im a big fan of "The No Spin Zone" but this is still a pretty
good thing to have done. More of the idiots on the tube should do the same...get out of the penthouse and go there and say "thanks"
Heres a dose of reality you may not like
^^"Inducted"? Captain Kirk should be "indicted" for attempted murder
on a $2,200 dollar suit.
BTW? Later Uncle Neocon will be presenting his conservative gifts for children.
read the whole thing
These soldiers are volunteers, and are highly motivated to kill "Ali Baba" - the name they give the insurgents. There are major shortcomings with the Iraqi Army in Fallujah: logistics, pay and the lack of heavy weapons hold the jundi back from being fully independent (this will be covered in more depth along with the police in future posts on the MTTs/PTTs). But a fighting spirit is not one of these shortcomings.
Now this. This exactly the sort of thing that burns my butt about some liberals.
OK. We have different ideas how to solve social issues...but dont hand me this trash.
Be realistic. It doesnt help a soul to misrepresent facts or distort them to make some point.
Now be sure and watch the video linked. Youll see the highlighted "here" about a third of the way down.
"But JimZ...hes a Senator...he wouldnt lie"
Oh please. Hed lie to his mother if it made some political point.
Heres what he bases his pointless assertions on.
I know because I heard it myself.
And the last freaking thing I need is a "hunger" lecture from a 400 pound senator who wouldnt know hunger if it jumped out of his scotch bottle and bit him on the nose.
[and note I said "some" liberals]
Its just bugs me because what sort of message is that to advertise? That things suck?
His dead brother is rolling in his grave.

^^^ When they decide to include government assistance in the equation of poverty in America, I'll listen. Until then, its all just a bunch of fuzzy number juggling to make political hay out of a non-problem.
And like the guy at the NPR story. Hes been out of work for years...has some strange disease...collects 1500 in disability...and has the boo hoos because of the 1320 rent every month.
Well for Gods sake. Thats hardly worth Kennedy getting on the tube telling us 12 million little kids go to bed without Twinkies every nite.
You gotta really work at it to go to bed hungry in America.
Why I still like ol Newt
I quit cryin' over people who live beyond their means a long, long time ago. Bein' a former whiner of the same persuasion (cryin' over high rent), I understand, but don't shed tears.
edit: And yeah, Newt's one of the few straight talkers. Let's hope he keeps it up and gets air time.

I respond to the Monday Dispatch article "Barges of brine on Ohio River?" I agree that transporting brine via a barge would greatly reduce truck traffic and the deleterious effects it has on our roads. Conversely, this does not make it OK for Ohio to become a porous piece of land filled with toxic brine.
GreenHunter and other companies looking to dispose fracking waste are trying to spin the disposal of this toxic material by barge as a good thing. All of the risks associated with this method of transportation are compounded by how widely used the Ohio River is, as well as its direct drainage into the Mississippi River (and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico).
The U.S. Coast Guard needs to take into account the risks associated with transportation via barge and the risks of hundreds of new injection wells that will be needed to meet the new demands of disposal.

Cincinnati officials will be discussing a new plan Wednesday morning that will use technology to better communicate with residents in the city's 52 neighborhoods. The city is partnering with Nextdoor. The website has been operating since October 2011 and has about 16,000 neighborhoods represented nationwide.Communications Director Kelsey Grady said Nextdoor is a private social network that allows neighbors to connect.
Form Based Code is a different way to look at neighborhood planning and zoning that focuses on the physical character of buildings, the relationship of buildings to each other, and to the street. Jay Hanselman talks with Vice-Mayor Roxanne Qualls about how this new method of zoning will shape Cincinnati Neighborhoods.
Cincinnati officials are continuing their efforts to acquire about 5 miles of unused railroad track running through portions of Avondale, Evanston, Hyde Park, Oakley and Mt. Lookout.The city is interested in a section of the Wasson Way line running from Victory Parkway to the west and Red Bank Road on the east. Norfolk Southern currently owns the railroad track, but it hasn't been used since 2009. Transportation and Engineering Director Michael Moore said getting it for the city involves a somewhat lengthy process.

Yes. and the whacky coolers. it's like they realized the cooler was naffed, so locked the voltage so the cooler remained adequate. This card was discontinued long ago though, as was the Matrix. What ya got, well, it's what you got. IF you get 0.800V @ Idle, voltage may be unlocked with flashing BIOS. which works..cannot say. If you get same voltage @ idle and load, then you are really screwed. If you wanted to save both BIOSes and post them, I might have a look? You should have two, one for dual-link, one for without. Examining the BIOS will tell me what version of card you have.
off topic : stable at 1210/1675 @1275(1222)v core 1650(?)v mem temps about to run next phase 1210/1700
Yeah, the 7950 is completely different, uses PCB that is basically just the reference AMD PCB. The 7970 DurectCUII and 7970 Matrix cards are custom-design PCBs. The DirectCUII was supposed to have the Hotwire function, and alludes to having control of the voltages on the box, and you do, to a degree, even in my screwy-VRM-Controller-BIOS situation. The Matrix cards take it a whole step further, needing no soldering for daily OC, and having buttons right on the PCB that let you change the voltage.
I'm on v1.01, already pput the Ghz BIOS on. Can't believe I hadn't tried it already... I threw the clocks to 1200/6000 and ran Fire Strike extreme, the highest temp was 38C and voltage under load is 1.254V. That water block can finally do it's job.
Ah, so if you look at stock BOIS in GPU-Z or similar, you'll see like 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 200,201,202,203,204 at the end of the BIOS listing, these are all different versions of the cards, two are similar, two are not. two are TOP, two are non-TOP. BIOSes between these two versions aren't inter-changeable. So the OP, and you, have different versions of the card. I have the same as the OP, with a different problem yet that locks the voltage, I think. Dude, I tried every BIOS in the database here, even asked W1zz if he had others, which he did, and he put up for me. None of them fix my problems. You...you got lucky, I think you can enable normal voltage control. Just gotta get the right BIOS. Anyway, to further make it interesting, there are also AS01, AS02, AS03, AS04, AS05, AS06, AS07, AS08, AS09, BIOSes and for each of those, both a U2 and U3 BOIS.... U2 and U3 are different in dual-link DVI operating or not.
When did you buy yours? I bought mine last June, it just so happened to be the cheapest retail 7970 I could find so the investment has finally paid off. It was something like £320+£80 for the card and water block, and I think GTX680's were around £400 then. I'm so happy, now I won't have to upgrade to a 8970/GTX780 out of butthurt. EDIT: In GPUTweak there's still no voltage control. Voltage seems to be fixed at 1.256V, although I haven't tried other programs yet, so it might be controllable. Also, I have the version where the DVI-D does NOT support 2560x1600. Supposedly, I should be able to run 2560x1440 monitors off of it. This card was (until now) my worst purchase ever.
This card is a second RMA card, kinda new, then. June sounds about right for getting a good stock card, actually. All the cards with volt control working can run GHz BIOS, but your is the first v1.01 PCB I heard of doing it. Maybe it's really v1.00. It's one the PCB, under the backplate, on the side with PCIe part, on the power-plug end. If any of that makes sense. Not being able to run 2560x1600 si a deal breaker for me. I have a 30-inch Dell. Oh well, I have other cards, thankfully. At least I can try DP for 2560x1600. The card is stil lquiet.
huh? Mine has no cut-outs, just some holes?...me haz confuse... You can see my PCB above, and the number there on the bottom left. All cards in reviews are 1.00 here, have different stuff on the PCB at rear and front. I cared less about cooler, all about PCB. The mystery deepens... My cards(the "7970" on the DirectCUII rubbed off after I used isopropyl to clean glue off from sticker ASUS had placed there):
The cutout on the backplate between the 4 screws is the one that I'm referring to. The first version didn't have that... Yeah, I ended up having to buy an active adapter. Thankfully I found an active DVI-D to DP adapter for cheap. It's a Dell BizLink.
Oh, and does yours have that cutout? Because first cards had copper pipes direct to GPU, but then there are cards with revised cooler that uses copper plate to GPU. The cards with new cooler have both v1.00 and 1.01 PCBs that I have seen. I think there might be one or four non-top cards local, if I had the cash I'd buy 'em and see if they unlock. I just resigned myself to the idea that "TOP" meant it had lower voltage, and ran cooler, but my card was screwed by BIOS. Works fine anyway.
Yes, this was replaced for that, then again, this is third card. I like the Matrix card better anyway, is more like motherboard with GPU on it, so many options.
If you want one, no point in waiting, since they don't make either of the 7970's any more I was told. But maybe it was just the "TOP" and "Platinum" cards...dunno. I do know that overall, 7970 is a very rare bird right now. Like, what models are in stock at any given store vary from week to week, some just never return. I'd like another 1100 MHz "stock" card...but I'd be happy with another Matrix. Finding it...man, no luck yet.
I was talking to some guy from another forum and he was fed up with his matrix, wanted a 7950 or 7970 sapphire in return.....may even talk to him when I get paid (oh new 3dmark 11 = 7697) wish I had better mobo to get stable @5ghz
I just realized my fail at English. I wasn't saying saying how do you overlook that. I was referring to Asus' engineers. My bad.
And found this review; http://www.tech-kings.net/home/review/graphics/347-asus-hd-7970-dc2-3gd5-review?showall=&start=4

チェックインすると、水やバラの花のサービスがあり、また、内装もこだわりを感じさせる素敵なものでした。 朝ごはんもおいしかったです。 ウェルカムチョコレートが近くのチョコレートやさんのもので、これもまた非常においしかった。 全体的にこだわりを感じさせる、素敵なホテルでした。
"総合的に良いです。"Hotels.com のゲストによる口コミ 2011年08月16日 投稿
ロケーションはヨークの中心街より離れていますが、幹線道路沿いにあるので行きやすいです。ホテルの目の前にガソリンスタンド、少し行ったところにワイズマートがあります。 部屋には冷蔵庫と電子レンジが着いているので、食事はスーパーで買ってきて部屋で食べました。また、プールがついており、子供と楽しく過ごせました。 朝食はコンチネンタルスタイルでまあまあ。その部屋も他のホテルに比べると広いと思います。
以下の料金またはデポジットは、サービスを利用した時、チェックイン / チェックアウト時に、ホテルにてお支払いください。
OVERALL IT WAS AN OKAY HOTEL. NOT WHAT I WOULD CHOOSE AGAIN, BUT IT WAS SUFFICIENT TO SLEEP IN. SINCE IT WAS THE CAR SHOW WEEKEND RESERVATIONS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AT OTHER HOTELS. I THOUGHT THEY WERE OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET. A FEW HOLES IN THE SHEETS, BUT IT WAS CLEAN.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Great value for the money"
We were looking for an inexpensive motel near the PA Renaissance Faire, where a group of us were performing. My three essential criteria for a hotel room are: (1) is it a good shower? (2) is the bed comfortable? (3) does the sink stopper work? (it's harder to shave if water won't stay in the sink). The Knights Inn got a "yes" for all three. The towels […] were a bit worn, and the continental breakfast was VERY bare bones, but for less than $80/night per room, it's a great value! もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Good for Hershey Park Visit"
The Knights Inn provided a basic reasonably priced place to stay while visiting Hershey Park. It was clean and pretty much what was expected.

We needed a place to sleep and clean up that was fairly close to the park and not overpriced - the Knights Inn fit the bill.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

check-in/out was very easy. when walking into the room, we were assaulted by an overwhelming floral spray. Made us wonder what aroma was hidden. took a minute to find the bathroom as it was behind the door into the room. the pillows were flat. we found a leftover, dirty black rag on the floor. overpriced for our experience.

For the price I would've expected a little more. The beds lacked comfort and the hotel is very out dated.

I wouldn't say it was the Raddisson but for our visit to PA and Hershey park it was perfect place for us to stay and sleep. Great proximity to Hershey.

"Old and Gross"
Our room reeked of smoke and the windows could not be opened for fresh air.. It was so bad I almost couldn't stand to stay. The bed covers and blankets were dirty. The pillows were lumpy, the mattresses were old and hard. The towels also did not smell fresh. And the ceilings are very low so it made me feel claustrophobic . The entire stay was just gross. […] The children hated it. My 3yo cried that he wanted to go home both nights. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
Staff was nice enough, price and location was good, but they only cleaned our room every other day, and our garbage can would pile up and spill over waiting for house keeping to decide to come. Breakfast was over early, and they were out of milk and juice our first morning so we bought our own. Same cereal and muffins everyday, nothing else to choose […] from. Luckily we werent in our room much (other than to sleep) so for the price I guess it was ok. Not great, not dreadful, just ok. The fridge in our room was free and nice to have as well. It was quite large and other hotels charge for that feature. Very quite area too. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was fairly quiet even though it was located right next to the main road.

When I first arrived the owner knew nothing about my stay. I politely informed her that I did have reservations. She was very polite back and said something about not looking at something for reservations.

Booked 2 nights. Second night key didn't work - had to reset it at the office. Ice machine out of order. Plumbing so old when the neighbor took a shower the rattling pipes were deafening. It was clean - housekeeping does the best they can with it. It will keep the rain off you but deluxe or decent hotel stay - it's not here.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Newly Renovated.....that's what the sign said."
The room was run down and filthy. The location was convenient. The sign said newly renovated but I never saw that. The old building and room would have been more acceptable if it had been clean. There was so much dirt in the bathroom exhaust fan and on the heat registers but the Cheerios falling out from between the matress and behind the bathroom door […] just sent me over the edge. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Great for the money"
My son and I have used the Knights Inn twice now, both times for winter season trips to Hershey to take in local hockey games. Limited contact with staff but both times the persons we dealt with were very nice. The Knights Inn gives you everything you should expect when paying a budget rate i.e. a clean room, working heat, AC, and cable, courteous staff. […] If you expect more than that for a budget rate than go elsewhere. This place is great for us and we have been very happy with both stays. In room coffee would be nice but you get what you pay for. I brought my own little coffee maker on the second trip and it worked out great. I will add that we have used a few different low rate motels in the area for our occasional hockey trips and the Knights is now our "go to" motel unless they give us a reason stop using them. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Got a great rate and the hotel was clean and fairly well maintained. We felt safe (except for the shady people staying a few doors down). It was convenient to get to local eateries, malls, and the Renaissance Festival. It was a great bargain.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
The motel was located between all areas I plan to visit. Our room was clean (king room), But could use a sitting area to you did not have to be on the bed all the time. The daily maid service needs to be more orderly (one day you may get towels and bath mat, then the next day you may only get 1 towel for 2 guess and no mat and some time no tolet tissue.) […] The week we were there our room was next to the maids living quarters and she had a male friend over and the argued and had some shouting and fighting out side the room at 1 and 2 am this happen about 3 times during a 7 night stay. When they were not together it was a nice place to stay. If you are a light sleeper it is right on the main road so you do hear the traffic. The room had a mini fridge I would of like to had a microwave to have a warm snack at night. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Advocates Training
Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday to the Advocates training!
We are very curious to hear your feedback on the training kick-off, especially because the format was a little different from previous years'. We know you are all super busy, but if you have 2 minutes we would really appreciate if you would fill out this very quick survey so we know what worked and didn't:

20 April 2008 - 6:43pm
Three years ago -- almost to the day, we blogged about our fire extinguisher training.
Included a shot of Bill putting out a fire.
During this year's training, Craig (our Safety Director) took a photo for me.
Same guy.
There's Bill again.
What are the chances?
We've got 80 full-time employees and we all took the training.
I embarrassed myself this time around. The trainer called out "good job!" as I attacked my fire. Assuming that meant the fire was completely out, I stopped squeezing the extinguisher and stepped back.
Just like those rotten candles I always get for my boys' birthday cakes--the ones that blow out easily but then puff back into flame over and over.
Serves me right, I guess.

You have probably heard the old adage that what you see isn't always what you get. When it comes to shopping online those words couldn't be more correct. There is nothing that can make a shopper more nervous than looking at the picture of something and hoping that what arrives in the mail is the same thing. While there can be no complete guarantees in the world of online retail there can be a few ways to make sure that the package that arrives isn't a huge let down or disappointment to you.
The first thing you can do is make sure that the shop you buy it from online is a well known place. This doesn't mean that you can't try a smaller retailer but it means that a big place with a big reputation is less likely to make big mistakes and more likely to correct big mistakes when they are made. The reason this doesn't work out for many is because those smaller retailers have made it their goal to cut the prices to compete with the big boys but occasionally there are issues and those issues cause big confusion. So sticking with the big online retailers might be a good way to shop stress free.
If you are going to go with a smaller retailer than the best thing you can do is to do a little homework. You should take a little time to check out the reviews on the product. Be weary though, there are places that plant their own reviews so before you believe it make sure you look at all the reviews to give you a better feeling of satisfaction and reassurance about your soon to be purchase. The point is that unless you are willing to do your homework you are more likely to get the short end of the online transaction. No one wants that.

Even as I write this, tired and wanting of much more sleep, a princess is marrying a prince thousands of miles from our living room. Yes, like countless other parents across the world, my royal-loving wife and I roused our two daughters Elena (7) and Briani (2) to see the rare regal wedding of Kate and William.
As I watch this wedding, I'm glad that my two Disney princesses are light years away from their nuptials. In the time between now and then we have years to inoculate our beloved princesses with some thoughts about fairy tale princes and marriage:

Congenital Heart Disease (cont.)In this Article
What are the types of congenital heart defects?
Comment on this
Congenital heart defects change the normal flow of blood through the heart because some part of the heart didn't develop properly before birth. There are many types of congenital heart defects. They include simple ones such as a hole in the interior walls of the heart that allows blood from the left and right sides of the heart to mix, or a narrowed valve that blocks the flow of blood to the lungs or other parts of the body. Other defects are more complex. These include combinations of simple defects, problems with where the blood vessels leading to and from the heart are located, and more serious abnormalities in how the heart develops. Examples of Simple Congenital Heart Defects Holes in the Heart (Septal Defects) The septum is the wall that separates the chambers on the left side of the heart from those on the right. It prevents mixing of blood between the two sides of the heart. Sometimes, a baby is born with a hole in the septum. When that occurs, blood can mix between the two sides of the heart. Atrial septal defect (ASD). An ASD is a hole in the part of the septum that separates the atria - the upper chambers of the heart. This heart defect allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to flow into the right atrium instead of flowing to the left ventricle as it should. Many children who have ASDs have few, if any, symptoms. Normal Heart and Heart With
Atrial Septal Defect Figure A shows the normal structure and blood flow in the interior of the heart. Figure B shows a heart with an atrial septal defect, which allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to mix with oxygen-poor blood from the right atrium. An ASD can be small or large. Small ASDs allow only a little blood to leak from one atrium to the other. Very small ASDs don't affect the way the heart works and therefore don't need any special treatment. Many small ASDs close on their own as the heart grows during childhood. Medium to large ASDs allow more blood to leak from one atrium to the other, and they're less likely to close on their own. Half of all ASDs close on their own or are so small that no treatment is needed. Medium to large ASDs that need treatment can usually be repaired using a catheter procedure. (See "How Are Congenital Heart Defects Treated?") Ventricular septal defect (VSD). A VSD is a hole in the part of the septum that separates the ventricles - the lower chambers of the heart. The hole allows oxygen rich blood to flow from the left ventricle into the right ventricle instead of flowing into the aorta and out to the body as it should.
Normal Heart and Heart With
Ventricular Septal Defect
Figure A shows the normal structure and blood flow in the interior of the heart. Figure B shows two common locations for a ventricular septal defect. The defect allows oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the right ventricle. A VSD can be small or large. A small VSD doesn't cause problems and may often close on its own. Large VSDs cause the left side of the heart to work too hard and increase blood pressure in the right side of the heart and the lungs because of the extra blood flow. The increased work of the heart can cause heart failure and poor growth. If the hole isn't closed, the high blood pressure in the lungs can cause the delicate arteries in the lungs to scar, a condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension. Open-heart surgery is used to repair VSDs. Narrowed Valves Simple congenital heart defects also can involve the heart's valves, which control the flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles into the two large arteries connected to the heart (the aorta and the pulmonary artery). Valves can have the following types of defects:
The most common valve defect is called pulmonary valve stenosis, which is a narrowing of the pulmonary valve. This valve allows blood to flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries and out to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Pulmonary valve stenosis can range from mild to severe. Most children with this defect have no signs or symptoms other than a heart murmur. Treatment isn't needed if the stenosis is mild. In a baby with severe pulmonary valve stenosis, the right ventricle can get very overworked trying to pump blood to the pulmonary arteries. Oxygen-poor blood can back up from the right side of the heart into the left side, causing cyanosis. Cyanosis is a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and fingernails. It occurs because the oxygen level in the blood leaving the heart is below normal. Older children with severe pulmonary valve stenosis may have symptoms such as fatigue (tiredness) when exercising. Severe pulmonary valve stenosis is treated with a catheter procedure. Example of a Complex Congenital Heart Defect Complex congenital heart defects need to be repaired with surgery. Because of advances in diagnosis and treatment, doctors can now successfully repair even very complex congenital heart defects. The most common complex heart defect is tetralogy of Fallot (teh-TRALL-o-gee of fall-O), a combination of four defects:
These defects prevent enough blood from flowing to the lungs to get oxygen, while oxygen-poor blood flows directly out to the body.
Normal Heart and Heart With Tetralogy of Fallot Figure A shows the normal structure and blood flow in the interior of the heart. Figure B shows a heart with the four defects of tetralogy of Fallot. Babies and children with tetralogy of Fallot have episodes of cyanosis, which can sometimes be severe. In the past, when this condition wasn't treated in infancy, older children would get very tired during exercise and could have fainting spells. Tetralogy of Fallot is now repaired in infancy to prevent these types of symptoms. Tetralogy of Fallot must be repaired with open heart surgery, either soon after birth or later in infancy, depending on how severely the pulmonary artery is narrowed. Children who have had this heart defect repaired need lifelong medical care from a specialist to make sure they stay as healthy as possible. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments
