Title 21 published on 2012-04-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 21 CFR 201 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-02528 RIN Docket No. FDA-2013-N-0059 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Food and Drug Administration Notification of an initiative; request for comments and information. Submit either electronic or written comments by March 8, 2013. 21 CFR Parts 201, 314, and 601 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the establishment of a docket to receive comments on the proposed implementation of FDA's Prescription Drug Labeling Improvement and Enhancement Initiative and on a proposed pilot project relating to the voluntary conversion of labeling to the "Physician Labeling Rule (PLR)" format described in the 2006 FDA final rule, "Requirements on Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drug and Biological Products." The purpose of the initiative and the pilot project is to enhance the safe and effective use of prescription drugs by facilitating optimal communication through labeling. FDA is seeking public comment on this initiative, and the pilot project, particularly from stakeholders who develop and use prescription drug labeling. Comments received from stakeholders will assist the Agency in identifying and addressing feasibility and implementation issues associated with this initiative.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-11390 RIN 0910-AF43 Docket No. FDA-1978-N-0018 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Food and Drug Administration Final rule; delay of compliance dates; request for comments. Effective Date: This final rule is effective June 18, 2012. The final rule published at 76 FR 35620 on June 17, 2011, remains effective June 18, 2012. Comment date: Submit written or electronic comments on the delay of compliance dates by May 21, 2012. Compliance Dates: The compliance dates for the final rule published at 76 FR 35620 on June 17, 2011, including the lifting of the delay of implementation date for 21 CFR 201.66 as published at 69 FR 53801, September 3, 2004, are delayed until December 17, 2013, for products with annual sales of less than $25,000, and until December 17, 2012 for all other products subject to the rule. 21 CFR Parts 201 and 310 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is delaying the compliance dates for the final rule for over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug products that published in the Federal Register of June 17, 2011 (76 FR 35620). The final rule establishes labeling and effectiveness testing for certain OTC sunscreen products containing specified active ingredients and marketed without approved applications. It also amends labeling claims that are not currently supported by data and lifts the previously-published delay of implementation of the Drug Facts labeling requirements for OTC sunscreens. The 2011 final rule's compliance dates are being delayed because information received after publication of the 2011 final rule indicates that full implementation of the 2011 final rule's requirements for all affected products will require an additional 6 months. This final rule is part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products.

awesome product, Review by Mickey
Price Value Quality S&H a little high, but so worth it! (Posted on 7/20/13)
Great Product Review by Peter
Price Value Quality I was using a combination of dish soap and GG3 when I read an article in the Window Cleaning Mag #14. After reading that article I decided to try just using the GG. I'm glad for that article because it has made my window cleaning more fun and I can do windows quicker because there is really no residue left behind to deal with. (Posted on 7/17/13)
What Review by Gilbert
Price Value Quality This is the best stuff we have going (Posted on 3/16/12)
Glad I got this stuff Review by Chris
Price Value Quality I've previously only used dish soap, or else a so-called "professional" soap I picked up along the way. I recently cracked open my GG3 and man, what a difference! Sparkling windows, good amount of slip, little to no residue. What I like most about this stuff, is that you can get away with mistakes more than you can with what I'd been using. Leave a spot while fanning, and it might just evaporate without leaving a trace....! (Posted on 11/26/11)
I don't risk trying anything else! Review by John K | Kings' Window Cleaning MN
Price Value Quality I love this stuff! It smells great. It is cheap compared to how long it will last you. Doesn't matter if you use too much. It is fabulous for squeegee work and leaves the glass looking amazing. I have thought about trying GG4 but why risk it when you have GG3 as an already great product? (Posted on 9/11/11)
A must have Review by Jared
Value Quality Price Before I found this I used dish soap, now we use this every day. It does such a good job at cleaning and leaves an amazing shine. (Posted on 7/4/11)
Glass gleam 3 Review by Robert
Price Value Quality Got the big 5 gallon this time as I guess they no linger offer the case of 4 gallons. I will reuse the the container afterward because we know that it should be clean! A bonus. (Posted on 7/1/11)

Been wanting a topic made for this for a while I would love to compile a list of ingredients/supplements that should not be mixed either for safety or efficiency reasons.
I will kick it off:
ARA with anti-inflammatories (cissus, fish oils, etc.)
Calcium inhibits the absorption of some minerals such as iron, reduces effectiveness of many sleep aids (ZMa), some antibiotics.
Phytic acid (common in foods like oatmeal) will block absorption of many minerals as well, save your multivitamins for later in the day if you enjoy an oatmeal breakfast.
Dendrobium alkaloids + beta alanine
Tyramine + yohimbe
Icariin + nitrates
Prohormones/androgens + blood thinners

It's that time of year when Nobel Prize winners are announced, and Connecticut was once again honored to learn last week that this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine will be given to a trio of men including Yale University's Dr. James E. Rothman "for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells." Rothman is the 52nd recipient of a Nobel Prize associated with New Haven's Yale University, and although most people have heard of the Nobel Prizes, few understand the surprising reason for their existence: the false reports of Alfred Nobel's death.
Born into a Swedish family of chemists and engineers in 1833, Alfred Nobel had a naturally inventive mind from an early age. Even though he didn't have much in the way of formal education, Nobel owned over 300 patents for inventions and became an immensely wealthy man, especially because he invented dynamite. His invention of dynamite led, in turn, to the invention of cordite — a substance that enabled arms makers to perfect the long-range artillery shell. It was the invention of cordite that led to this famous headline in a Paris newspaper on April 13, 1888: "The Merchant of Death Is Dead."
In fact, Nobel's brother, Ludwig, had died the day before, but it had been falsely reported that Alfred had died. Thus, Alfred Nobel had an opportunity to see what the world thought of him by reading his own obituary. He didn't like what he saw; in fact, his negative portrayal as the "merchant of death" of the 19th century put him into a prolonged bout of depression for months.
Finally, he decided to change his legacy. He re-did his will and left the vast majority of his enormous wealth to fund five prizes in fields that benefit mankind: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace. (A sixth category in Economics was created in 1968.) The seed money from Nobel's vast wealth was so enormous that only the interest off of that wealth is paid out annually for the six prizes. The principal never gets eroded, so the prizes will be perpetual. Each prize is worth about $1.2 million. In the case of Yale's Dr. Rothman, that figure will be divided equally among the three recipients.
Nobel changed his will privately to fund the prizes, so that when he died on Dec. 10, 1896, his family and friends were surprised and angry to learn that most of them had been excluded from his vast estate. Legal challenges to the will were rejected, and the prizes began to be awarded in 1901. It is safe to say that a Nobel Prize is now considered to be among the most prestigious awards in the world.
Since their inception in 1901, Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Americans 333 times. Most of those awards—96—have been in the field of medicine. Those prizes have been a source of tremendous good for the world. Just imagine, however, that those prizes would never have existed had not a Paris newspaper mistakenly reported the death of Alfred Nobel in 1888! That mistake gave the "merchant of death" an opportunity for a chance to change his legacy. He succeeded, and the world is a better place for it.

This is the kind of thing Frank Luntz was talking about in his article today. The Republicans may mean well, but they come across ham-fisted in the approach. If Republicans want to cut some things out, they need to be upfront with both compassion and talking about how their plan to help the victims would be more successful.
Trimming $33 Billion would be a good start.
there will not be pork in their aid package.let the taxpayers of these states pay for their own projects.too bad they also have such a high federal tax bill to pay on top of their own high taxes
These "victims" should have bought their own insurance, or if unwilling to do so or if insurance is unavailable, they assumed the risk by living there. Or let their "Progessive" states pay for it.
In this day and age, all bills put before Congress were wrtten on a computer. How much trouble would it be to download this bill into a government website so us peons can read what is in it? A couple of keystrokes and there it is.The reason Congress does not do this lies in the fact we would vote against each and every one of them should we taxpayers see where our money is going.Cut the Pork? You got to be kidding me! Pork is to a politician like food is to us. They got´s to have it!
At some point, people who live on the coast have to understand that they are vulnerable to storms like this. It is not the responsibility of those inland to pay for the losses they sustain. Likewise, it is not the responsibility of the coastal dwellers to pay for tornado damage in Oklahoma. BUY INSURANCE! Quit tapping the government teat every time something happens.
Conservatives should show the same "compassion" as liberals showed during the tornado strikes in Tuscaloosa and Missouri...or when Nashville was washed away. Like three year olds, liberals are the first one to cry for mommy when the excretment hit the fan. Conservatives will NEVER be viewed as ´conpassionate" - regardless of what they do. The media context of "heartless" is set in stone whenever Conservatives push back in any way....What did the folks do in the disasters mentioned above?...rolled up their sleeves and fix the problem themselves....Liberals jump up and down, cry and scream for nanny....disgusting lot...
Split the bill and vote separately on the different provisions.
I applaud those who utilized earth from the foundation of the World Trade Center to raise flood plain by 4 feet. Mother nature has just demonstrated that they should have raised half the area by 8 feet. The original developers, the city, and the current owners need float a bond issue remedy the earlier oversight. This was a mistake, not an excuse to pick the taxpayers pockets.Roughly 10 years ago a tropical depression slowly circled Houston and dumped a record amount of rain. The Medical Centers knew that electrical in the basement was a mistake that needed fixing but hadn´t acted. Those New Yorkers with electrical in basement knew they had to correct the placement and had Houston as an example.The good news, interest rates have never been so cheap.
I agree with #8 and will someone please sew Chuck Schumer´s mouth shut. This man is so discussing when he talks.
If you build your house on a railroad track, you will get hit by a train.
The Republicans are the worst at messaging. Although, anyone with common sense could see that, yes, infrastructure projects are "pork" in a bill of this type, but clearly our country is lacking common sense or it wouldn´t be in the mess we´re in now.
So much money to improve weather forcasting? There was plenty of warning! There was no lack of forecasting with Sandy. People refuse to heed weather warnings now, and they will in the future.
Not only the removal of $30 Billion of pork in this bill, but a repeal of the $76 Billion of "Tax Extenders" in the Fiscal Cliff Bill should be sent back to the Senate for Passage. The Sandy Victims are being used as hostages to get this "Special Interest" pork through.Semper Fi
Please ignore # 1.He is a hit and run troll.
Have to agree, yet the bunny keeps hopping through here trying to snare someone. Most L-dotters just ignore.

Woodford Reserve Ltd. Ed. 2009 Kentucky Derby Bottle
Filed under: Spirits, Events, Art, Sports
Chapman's eye-catching image captures the excitement and intensity of the Kentucky Derby as two jockeys in brightly-colored silks concentrate on the race with the historic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs in the background. The artist's signature adorns the neck band of the bottle, and an attached tag bears information about the artist and product.
Woodford Reserve, an award-winning small-batch bourbon, has served as the Derby's official bourbon for the past 11 years. It also sponsors a Grade I race, the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic, which is run on Derby Day, May 2, 2009, and has become one of thoroughbred racing's premier events.
"Much as we try, it's impossible to express in words the intensity of racing from a jockey's perspective," Chapman says. "My goal is to capture it with a paint brush and canvas, often using unique angles and vibrant colors to set the tone. But no painting can truly capture the vibrancy and intensity of the Kentucky Derby."

Explore demented ideas.
That is the first thing you see on the Bonny Doon Vineyards webpage. Randall Grahm the proprietor and guiding spirit behind Bonny Doon has made his winery a major power in the California wine industry by exploring demented ideas.. He has done this by breaking all the accepted rules of marketing and by making wines that are as interesting to talk about as they are to drink.
There seems nothing that he is not ready to do. He freezes grapes to make ice wine, he uses wild labels with exotic names, he collaborates with winemakers in Europe, he is dedicated to riesling in California, has a whole line of Italian inspired wines and posed as the Lone Ranger on the cover of the Wine Spectator in his role as the leader of the Rhone Rangers.
It has been almost twenty years since Randall released his first major market disruption, Le Cigare Volant, and became the Rhone Ranger himself. Randall observes:

Nose: The lower strength certainly shows in the nose of grain whiskies if this is anything to go by. Slight sweetness that might be a honey note. Some spirit tones too. I'm not getting much else.A few drops of water bring out something not entirely pleasant - I don't know ... harsh iron filings maybe. Odd
Palate: That's better. Not as gentle as the previous ones though. Nothing I can really nail here though.
Finish: A tad bitter, which actually balances the sweetness quite nicely. But again, nothing definitive.
Inoffensive but not one I would rush out to buy.

-- -- our next guest decided to ditch Wall Street to launch his own business in an area he felt was -- -- laundering -- launched his venture this year it is looking to open six more by the end of 2013.
He's Bob -- is the founder of dash locker.
But you -- at SEC capital you know you had an experience on Wall Street and what made you turn around and several wait a minute.
Why don't I start my own business.
To create a lot of great questions I think yes is -- gavel experience for -- -- very -- I -- -- -- very bright people are working incredibly competitive atmosphere.
What I saw was -- -- opportunities are industries that didn't have the same competitiveness and that.
You know might need some innovation and gave me -- real opportunity to get in and check things -- do something special wild this locker laundry concept worth that idea come from it's funny the first -- -- really just in the longer business -- they -- -- had the opportunity to look at two fantastic companies claim Mac -- They do what's called laundry rooms and they they -- laundry facilities -- -- large multifamily installations and getting from other bad business model was what allowed me kind of gave me the confidence -- -- coin laundry business myself.
-- until that I owned a laundromat that are realize you know there might be a better way to to match capacity to demand and so.
Found a company had a -- Cisco's -- really innovative thing with walkers got in touch and here -- -- I'm still insisted though and that's which it you've made from from trading companies actually getting in when it was is something about the real world that you felt was missing.
From Wall Street.
I -- I I can't put my finger on any one particular event I will say.
The last company looked at 1000 SEC was Sherwin-Williams and tremor sent myself what an incredible company what a neat thing these guys -- good work and do every day.
And I'm sitting there I think have got that you're -- trading it yeah IAA and in a very real way out I had what I thought was my dream opportunity come out of college you would -- my guess they -- its destination -- -- there.
Can you seniors of black kind of wish I was somewhere else and that was for me you know that was the signs that maybe -- should go try to manage something.
Well from dreams to reality then you start to figure out I -- to get this thing up and running and you ran into.
Could be dozens of regulation to -- you you had to deal with the bureau of scales and waits what is that.
The New York City does a fantastic job looking out for the -- so through the department consumer affairs they -- -- bureau of weights and measures whose job it is among other things.
To make sure that the scale laundromat and says 39 pounds and there's 39 -- -- there so.
It was it was one of those things that again coming from a corporate environment with a lot of resources.
All of a sudden you've got to go get a permit decisions scale as accurate legislature mine and here's something that I love the best surprise that you hadn't running your business hiring people.
-- incredibly so Telus Telus now.
Now I you know I think when you again when you come through that formal HR recruitment process you're leaving college you're you leaving one job and -- and into another -- through an executive recruiter something like that.
You just don't placed a premium on finding good talent because you've always been exposed to surrounded by it and and we are trying to build it yourself and and in print division for company on you know.
Employees that you know what I learned about -- all that is very very difficult it takes a lot of time in that you just got to get out and do it every day you've got to treated as a full time job.
So for those of you who have sat there with your nose pressed up against the glass at your around dry cleaner saying I ended these aren't the hours -- close second -- that -- I need for tonight.
This is the company -- -- that.
I think so I think inconveniencing laundries bipartisan issue I'm pretty sure there's not a person out there in New York -- hadn't had initially they're directly.
You're making money.
We're we're getting there it's funny we've got.
I think three more source coming online September October and and and really look like we've got the trajectory mix of cash next year Bob Hennessey of Daschle locker is the founder of the good for.

A Brief History of the Honus Wagner Baseball Card
From cigarette pack insert to multi-million-dollar treasure
- By David Zax
- Smithsonian.com, May 01, 2007, Subscribe
Mothers who threw out their sons' baseball card collections will have trouble fathoming this: A single card sold for $2.35 million in March. The buyer, an Orange County businessman, wishes to remain anonymous—perhaps, mused an article in the Los Angeles Times, "because he doesn't want his business clients to know that he spent more than $2 million for a 98-year-old piece of cardboard that measures 1 1/8 inches by 2 5/8 inches." But this particular piece of cardboard, a 1909 Honus Wagner, has captivated collectors since it mysteriously emerged on the market in the mid 1980s. Indeed, the path of the "Gretzky T206 Wagner," as it has come to be called, tells us a good deal about the history of baseball card collecting in general.
The Man Who Hated Cigarettes
How can it be that the most valuable baseball card in the world depicts a player most of us have never heard of? Though less renowned than icons like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, Honus Wagner was a superb player—one of the first five inducted into the Hall of Fame. Wagner, who spent most of his career playing shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, might not be a household name because he played during baseball's "deadball era"—a low-scoring, less-dramatic time for the game.
Another reason for his limited fame, suggests Michael O'Keeffe (who co-wrote with Teri Thompson the forthcoming history of the Wagner card called The Card: Collectors, Con Men, and the True Story of History's Most Desired Baseball Card), was that Wagner was simply too nice of a fellow. "He was just a good guy, a 'gee, aw shucks' kind of guy," says O'Keeffe. Wagner didn't punch out fans like Ty Cobb, or drink heavily like Ruth or Mantle. In other words, he was a bit boring.
He also didn't smoke cigarettes, which, oddly enough, is perhaps the main reason why his card became so valuable. The Wagner was part of a series of cards—later dubbed "T206," for enigmatic reasons, by an influential collector—that were included in packs of American Tobacco Company cigarettes. Wagner demanded that the American Tobacco Company pull his card from circulation, which is why a mere 60 or so are thought to exist today. Many wrongly think that Wagner opposed smoking; in fact, says O'Keeffe, he more likely opposed other people profiting from his likeness, or he considered cigarettes too low-class compared with other tobacco products (he chewed tobacco). Whatever the reason, the decision made Wagner-the-card exceedingly more famous than Wagner-the-player, and it ironically linked his name to cigarettes forever.
"The Deal of the Century"
In 1986, a new specimen of the card—in better condition than any other—emerged out of nowhere, it seemed. An owner of a Long Island sports memorabilia store announced that a man named Alan Ray was selling his 1909 T206 Wagner for $25,000. Ray would not say where he acquired the card, to this day keeping mum about what the card was up to between 1909 and 1986. He was forced to sell it because of "a money situation," Ray was quoted as saying in a 2001 New York Daily News article by O'Keeffe and colleague Bill Madden, which first traced the buying-and-selling history of the card.
When they heard about the opportunity, two sports memorabilia dealers rushed to the Long Island store. "From the second I saw the card, I thought it was the most magnificent-looking card in the world," recalls Bill Mastro. He and his friend quickly bought the card, and it was sold a year later for $110,000 (a sum Mastro himself recalls considering absurd). "It was the deal of the century," Ray later griped about letting the card go for $25,000.
The First Million-Dollar Card
The card changed hands several times over the next two decades, steadily increasing in value. In 1991, hockey great Wayne Gretzky bought it with Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall, at the latter's urging, for $451,000 dollars.
With a celebrity's name attached to the card, its place was assured in collecting history. When McNall fell into financial and legal troubles, Gretzky bought out his share of the card and, in 1995, sold it for $500,000 to Treat Entertainment, which collaborated with Wal-Mart in a publicity campaign to rekindle consumer interest in baseball cards. The companies raffled off the card on "Larry King Live," and a Florida postal worker won it. Unable to pay the gift tax associated with the win, the postal worker sold the card at auction to a Chicago collector named Michael Gidwitz for $640,500. Gidwitz wanted "to see if I could sell a card for a million dollars," he says. "It had never been done before."

Hanna, obviously this card is not real if it says valued at 1000000 on the back and then the story of how the authenic card was taking off the shelf on the back too,,,think girl

i think i may have an authentic honus wagner piedmont card. I was wondering how i would be able to tell. It has a redish orange color background with a white border. On the back it says number 350-460 subjects. Piedmont is in the middle with fancy print. At the bottom it says the cigarette of quality. Theres also other smaller print on it.
Posted by Katie Lanzalotto on April 9,2011 | 12:04 AM
I would like t know if a white rimmed Honus Wagner card is authentic. On the back it says Honus Wagner value $1,000,000 1910 tobacco card with a pinkish reddish background. It then explains that he forced the tobacco companies to take his card off the market but some did get through. Please let me know what you think. The paper used is of that cardboard quality and fairly thick.Many Thanks

Reality Is Broken
Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World
Jane McGonigal - Author
Visionary game designer Jane McGonigal reveals how we can harness the power of games to solve real-world problems and boost global happiness. Drawing on positive psychology, cognitive science, and sociology, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and utilized these discoveriesto astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consistently provide the exhilarating rewards, stimulating challenges, and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why, McGonigal asks, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators because they regularly cooperate with other players to overcome daunting virtual challenges, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends. In Reality Is Broken, she reveals how these new alternate reality games are already improving the quality of our daily lives, fighting social problems such as depression and obesity, and addressing vital twenty-first-century challenges-and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities that lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil, a simulation designed to brainstorm-and therefore avert- the challenges of a worldwide oil shortage, and Evoke, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change. McGonigal persuasively argues that those who continue to dismiss games will be at a major disadvantage in the coming years. Gamers, on the other hand, will be able to leverage the collaborative and motivational power of games in their own lives, communities, and businesses. Written for gamers and nongamers alike, Reality Is Broken shows us that the future will belong to those who can understand, , and play games.

I want to see stock clocked chips at 4+ ghz, even just 4 cores, I have no need for more than that, just give me sheer speed already. Having said that I really doubt AMD will be the first to throw a 4ghz stock clocker on the table, at least at the mainstream consumer grade.
Bulldozer is meant to complete with Intel's next gen or some may call it Nehalen 2. So obviously if Bulldozer does not beat Core i7 then AMD has major issues. Bring it on SandyBridge, we need competition to help drive prices down into the dirt.
Wow, about time, been speculating on this with a tPU member or two and some personal friends. Cant wait to see what the prices and yields are. I would love to see just about most software now come out with at least dual cores in mind (if not quad cores). That would benefit greatly. Wonder if Windows 7 is optimized for Dual cores. Anyone know?
Bah, waiting for tomorrow for news! Looking forward to this chip, if its decent price/performance I'm getting an AMD platform next year. Well unless their graphics turn out crappy next year. And vice versa <_< or both.
http://blogs.amd.com/work/2010/08/02/what-is-bulldozer/ For those unaware, there is TONNES of info on the AMD website about these upcoming processors. When I said speculation is pointless, I really meant it. We can extrapolate on the info I posted here form AMD, and suggest that each new Bulldozer core will offer about 4% more performance, clock-for-clock. Hardly what people are looking for, and hardly an i7 killer. Again, I said it's two years too late, and I stand by that comment.
we estimate that customers will see up to 50% more performance from 33% more cores. So for a example we will say the 12 core system can execute 1000 standard complex threads in one second. 1000/12= 83.33 per core. So now we have a standardized core work number. So they say that the new processor will do 1500 standard complex threads in once second. 1500/16=93.75 threads per core per second, or a 12.5 clock efficiency increase per core.
Flawed logic. Try your math again. Your numbers are not correct. Uh, let's start with 93.75-83.33....reversing the math give 151+%. I look at it this way... we added 33% more cores, but got 50% more performance. that leaves 17% extra performance, spread across 16 cores... I see your logic as interpreting the increase from only those extra 4 cores....
[rhetorical question] If a quad core processor "A" is 17% faster than quad core processor "B", then how much faster is processor "A" per core? [/rhetorical question] That's right. 17% increase per core would be really nice if you ask me.
No doubt. I am expecting AT MOST 4& per clock...mind you, this core is so very different, that may be completely off-base. So, if we look at Steevo's numbers, he says 12.5, but really, he gets "12" and not "1.2" by using a 1000-base number for the calculation instead of 100-base. Anyway, it's more like 1.03% increase per core.
Hoping. That is all. If that's the case though, I'd be swapping out my server farm. I REALLY want to do this, so I gotta hope.
Looks like AMD may have some thing to finally bring to the table . Still I do not see myself getting a new system for another 3 years as well the Quad I have should be just fine for many more years to come . It would be nice to see AMD on top again but till I see some real chips tested no one can say for sure what Bulldozer will be able to do .
Yeah, and AMD is last presenter tomorrow @ HotChips. So the info is most likely NOT gonna be known until long after that. We need yeild info, and that is too far off..we won't get real performance until launch, next year some time. Would be nice to see a pre-holiday launch, but I think that's more wishfull thinking on my part.
No, not just on your part... seem's like pretty much all of us in this thread are wanting to see some results quicker than AMD can make them.
I've got to agree with Steevo and his math on this one, well since it's right... Just clarifying his numbers using the 1000 threads per second example 33% more cores: so 12 cores * 1.333333..... = 16 cores 50% more performance: 1000 * 1.5 = 1500 threads per second So the old 12 core proc. would do 1000 threads per second while the new 16 core will do 1500 per second (threads of whatever, not relavent here... just some AMD spec'd performance numbers): that means old did 1000/12=83.33 threads per second per core new will do 1500/16=93.75 threads per second per core so that's 93.75 for the new and 83.33 for the old. To find the percentage increase that's 93.75/83.33=12.5% faster per core than the old architecture. Now I'm not sure if AMD's numbers are skewed and that 50% performance increase was more than likely on a specific test; however, going by those numbers they posted the math shows the new cores should be 12.5% faster per clock.
I just hope the AMD fanboys wont get all upsad if they are not what they expect . Nut I sure hope AMD finally gets it right . My hope is they are going to at the very least mach the core i7's . that is a tall order seeing as AMD has been trying for years now .
Again, flawed equation. If each core was 12.5% faster, there'd be more than 50% increase. 12.5%, times 16 cores= what? 200%? and 12 cores is 150%? Please. FIX. THAT. math.
I agree on that, there past two lineups have yet to truly past an i7. I'm hoping we will see a good resurgence with this architecture. As a person who doesn't cum my pants over a particular company(aka a fanboy), i truly won't be heartbroken if these chips don't succeed.
Um, no there wouldn't. Simple math. Very simple in fact. You have a 50% increase with 33% more resources. You want to do it the easiest way: the old cpu had 1.00 (100% resources), new has 1.33 (33% more or 133%) old cpu did 1.00 work (100%), new does 1.50 (50% increase) That's now 1.5/1.33 = 1.125 ish. So still your 12.5% increase per core. AMD didn't use number of cores do denote how much faster they are, just 33% more cores make a 50% increase. The 12 and 16 cores I'm assuming were just pulled out since they make that 33% more a very convenient whole number. But still, if you think about it as 50% more work is done with only 33% added resources you can see that they should more than 4% faster. They should be 1.5/1.33 faster.


text: At least "Pranksta Rap" was consistent and had reasons for dumping it's plot midway though the episode. (The three people already had fame, therefore there was no reason for Homer to punish Bart because he was the one who brought them the fame in the first place.) It may have had similar content and an ending which I may have not liked but at least it knew where it wanted to go and it knew how to frame certain moments so that it'd work in relation to the plot. I'm not doubting your taste in episodes, I am just doubting the placement of the episode. Even in Seasons 13-16, it wouldn't be any different except for the plot becoming slightly more coherent; the episode had no idea what it wanted to be, had no idea where it wanted to go and had to use guest starts that appeared out of thin air to even get to an important point in the plot, which was the art gallery which in turn lead to the rushed resolution of the Bart and Homer plot. You can't have Bart doing graffiti for revenge then Bart doing graffiti for art then having it back to revenge; it's lazy writing.

Save $400 on Microsoft Office: Use Lotus Symphony instead
Microsoft Office is not just overpriced--for most users, it's overkill. That's why I've been increasingly recommending IBM Lotus Symphony, a well-rounded office suite that just so happens to be free. It's built on open-source favorite OpenOffice, but sports a sleeker, friendlier interface.
Symphony (available for Windows and Linux) offers word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It supports Office 2003 file formats as well as OpenDocument and others. And it relies on an ingenious tabbed interface that keeps all your documents under the same roof--no switching between apps like with most other suites.

Asked about possible conflicts of interest in Lindsay's grants to study teriparatide, Faye Chen, an NIH official, refused to provide copies of written assurances from Helen Hayes, Lindsay's employer—paperwork required by federal law—that conflicts of interest had been properly dealt with. She insisted that everything was in order. "The NIH is committed to preserving the public's trust that the research supported by the NIH is conducted without bias and with the highest scientific and ethical standards," she wrote in an e-mail to me. She added, "I can assure you that Dr. Lindsay's institution provided the required certification and assurance prior to receiving the award, and they will be required to provide this certification every year prior to award." Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request contained no mention of any potential conflict of interest—nothing to indicate that Lindsay was taking money from the manufacturer of the drug being studied. NIH officials would not comment on whether or not they have followed up on the matter.
The NIH's actions should come as no surprise. A few years ago the Department of Health and Human Services's Office of Inspector General got its hands on internal NIH communications that show that management discourages investigations into conflicts of interest among NIH-sponsored researchers. (In the interest of transparency: my wife works for the Office of Inspector General but did not have anything to do with these studies or this article.) For example, one memorandum stated, "We should not follow up for additional details about the nature of the conflict or how it was managed unless there is sufficient programmatic concern to do so".

Join KEI on Tuesday, December 10 as Sean Connell, Japan Studies Fellow, East-West Center in Washington, presents his Academic Paper Series report on the Park Geun-hye administration's efforts to define and develop a "creative economy," as well as analyze the broader economic context in South Korea and its implications for this agenda.
Thursday, December 12: The Korean Dispute over the Northern Limit Line: Economics, International Law, and Security (Cambridge, MA)
Terence Roehrig will discuss the Northern Limit Line at a brown-bag lunch hosted by Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Thursday, December 12: The Two Koreas Book Launch (Washington, DC)
The US-Korea Institute at SAIS invites you to join us for the DC book launch for the revised edition of The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History. Korea uber-analyst and author Robert Carlin discusses the re-release of what many consider the foremost book on modern Korea, Don Oberdorfer's The Two Koreas.
Tuesday, December 17: 2014 and Security on the Korean Peninsula (Washington, DC)
The Korean peninsula reached new levels of instability in 2013. The North Korean leadership under Kim Jong-un engaged in a series of provocations and threatened the peace and security of the states in Northeast Asia with new missile and nuclear tests, expanded rhetorical threats to both South Korea and Japan, while also shutting down the Kaesong Industrial Complex. With recent reports that key figures such as Jang Song Thaek may have been removed from power, a key for stability in North Korea may have been removed. Join KEI for a discussion of the prospects for the year ahead, the threats posed by North Korea, potential options for encouraging Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons, and China's role in resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis.

ST. LOUIS — It wasn't easy, but rookie forward Vladimir Tarasenko made it onto the ice Friday for the St. Louis Blues' informal practice session.
In his native Russia, Tarasenko flew from St. Petersburg to Moscow and then on to New York earlier this week, before reaching his final destination of St. Louis.
The fact that the St. Louis Mills ice rink stands were packed with an overflow crowd Friday showed more than a few Blues fans seemed to know he was coming.
Especially the handful already wearing Tarasenko's No. 91 Blues jerseys.
"I'm very excited to be here," Tarasenko said without aid of an interpreter. "I was here in the summer for a few weeks. I know the city, I know the restaurants and the shops so it's easier."
Blues fans are hoping Tarasenko won't need a GPS to find the back of the net. He skated with new linemates Alex Steen and Andy McDonald on Friday, showing an elite-level shot and high-end offensive skills.
"It's still early, but it seems he's got a lot of speed and he's got good awareness on the ice, (a) very solid shot and he moves the puck well," McDonald said.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock can't participate in practice until the NHL Players Association ratifies the new collective bargaining agreement. He watched Tarasenko and the rest of the team intently from the bleachers.
"He's been playing, but this is a tough travel day for him," Hitchcock said. "It's nice to see him out here, nice to see him out here with a big smile on his face. He looks in tremendous shape, but he needs a couple days of rest to get his legs underneath him."
Tarasenko turned 21 on Dec. 13 and was the 16th overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft. Playing with St. Petersburg SKA of the Russian KHL pro league during the lockout, Tarasenko piled up 14 goals and 31 points in 31 games.
Hitchcock was asked how those gaudy numbers will translate to the NHL.
"It doesn't, this is a whole different game here," Hitchcock said. "That's a game of puck possession, east-west, make plays, and we are a linear game, chips, skating to pucks, confrontation everywhere. It's a completely different game.
"There's a high skill level there. The ice is big, everybody can skate, but the game's played east-west. There's a lot of lateral plays that end up with a shot on goal. You can't make those lateral plays here, there's no room."
That being said, Hitchcock is excited about the tremendous upside for a player like Tarasenko, who has been competing against the best players in the KHL for five years.
With St. Petersburg this season, he helped form one of the best lines in the league with NHL star forward Ilya Kovalchuk and Viktor Tikhonov.
"It was a really good line and I was so excited to play with those guys," Tarasenko said.
"He doesn't miss the net," said Hitchcock, who estimated he has seen Tarasenko play 20 to 25 games. "The puck's on the net, it comes fast, it's on his stick (and) gone. He can put pucks through people, he's a good offensive player.
"The rest of the game we're going to teach him and that's going to take long-term (time). But if he can do the things offensively that we think he's capable of, he's going to contribute to our hockey club and help us a lot."
All the attention seemed a bit daunting for Tarasenko, who dutifully fetched Gatorade drinks for his teammates after practice.
"In St. Petersburg where we played, we had 12,500 (fans)," he said. "Every game was a full house, there's nice fans there. It was really good experience because it was games, not just practice."
Blues winger David Perron recalled his own first day of practice with the team a few years back.
"I was a lot younger when I got here and I needed to learn probably more than he has to right now," said Blues winger David Perron, who was only 19 when he first made the NHL roster. "When you see him out there he looks like a pretty good player. For sure there's going to be some nervous time for him early on, but the coaching staff's going to do a good job getting him going in the system and all that."

STERN'S STANCE: U.S. climate negotiator Todd Stern says that the nonbinding Copenhagen Accord still has "significant breakthroughs."

Lead U.S. climate negotiator Todd Stern said Thursday the Copenhagen Accord represents the best way forward for a binding global climate deal but that success likely rests with a smaller group of major emitters working outside the unwieldy, multi-national United Nations process.
In his first public remarks since the conclusion of the United Nations climate talks in December, Stern said the Copenhagen Accord - despite its shortcomings - included "significant breakthroughs in a number of respects."
"It is a very important step forward," he said at an investor forum on climate risk hosted jointly by the UN Foundation and CERES.
Most importantly, Stern said, the accord pierced the "firewall" between developed and developing countries, getting the latter to agree for the first time to commit to emissions cuts. It contained landmark agreements on financial assistance and technology help for developing countries, pegged a 2ºC warming as the maximum the globe should risk, and made important strides on the controversial notion that countries' emissions cuts must verifiable by the world community.
But the road forward remains full of peril, Stern warned.
"We have an accord right now that's kind of lumbering down the runway," he said. "And we need to get speed to have it take off."
Job No. 1, he added, is to define and establish the various mechanisms identified in the accord - the global adaptation fund, technology transfer, forest preservation and so on.
The second, he said, is to continue work on a legally binding climate commitment.
And there, he cautioned, the UN's multi-lateral, consensus driven process might not be ideally suited for forging a strong global agreement among the major emitting nations.
"Our goal is very simply to design a regime that is going to have the capability to actually help us solve the problem," Stern said.
"One of the frustrations sometimes in dealing on the international level is that a lot of focus can be paid ... to debating whether a particular idea is consistent to this or that particular convention. A lot of attention to detail can be focused on ideas that are not really tethered to reality."
The administration believes the most effective way forward is via a smaller group of countries, akin to the Major Economies Forum established by former President George W. Bush.
"That was an enormously important group. You had conversations you just can't have in a larger multi-lateral setting," Stern said. "Going forward there will need to be some kind of analogous small-group focus."
The ability of a handful of small countries - Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador - to block the world community from formally agreeing to the Copenhagen Accord proved one of the more frustrating elements of the talks, to many delegates. In the end the United Nations could only take note of the accord before sending everyone home.
And that was perhaps another key revelation coming out of the conference, noted former Sen. Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation. Global power has shifted in ways that global institutions have not yet recognized.
"We're talking about a realignment around the world of global power," Wirth said. "It looks very different from what the UN Security Council looks like today, very different from the G-8. Copenhagen was a place where a lot of that played out."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says his decision to free 10 states from the No Child Left Behind education law will give the flexibility they need to set high standards for students and hold schools accountable.
Obama spoke Thursday at the White House. He says he's giving 10 states waivers from the strict and sweeping requirements. The states are getting leeway in exchange for promises to improve the way schools teach and evaluate students.
The president says states need to ensure that "every student should have the same opportunity to reach their potential."
Obama says he's acting because Congress failed to update the law, despite widespread agreement it needs to be fixed.
The 10 states are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

text: Home Politics Is South Africa Putting a Gag on Its People? That's what an ANC-backed national-security bill would do, says writer Charlayne Hunter-Gault. By: Charlayne Hunter-Gault Posted: Nov. 27 2011 9:11 PM 0 Protests against a South African bill (Rodger Bosch/AFP/Getty Images) It's a cruel irony that many who fought against South Africa's white-minority regime and its harsh apartheid laws are now accusing the black-led African National Congress government -- many of whom also fought the same battle -- of instituting a law that is a throwback to those oppressive days. And what falls into the same category of irony is that the bill was created to get rid of a restrictive apartheid-era law. The spark that provoked this potentially historic moment is the bill that the ANC-dominated Parliament passed last week 229-107, with two abstentions. It is officially known as the Protection of State Information Bill (pdf), which the government argues is necessary because existing law is not enough to protect the state against foreign spies. No explanation given regarding who those spies may be. But while the bill may be aimed at foreign spies, at least 88 editors of South African newspapers signed a petition last week protesting the bill. They and others see the bill putting a lid on any information the state deems to be a threat to national security -- constituting, in essence, a gag on the media. Critics say it is a threat to democracy. And that is the twist of fate that has caused many of the country's liberation-struggle heroes -- two of whom, Desmond Tutu and Nadine Gordimer, are Nobel laureates -- as well as the foundation of fellow laureate Nelson Mandela, to join hundreds protesting the bill. The fact that the bill doesn't contain a public-interest-defense measure requiring that the public's right to know be weighed against the state's need to maintain security has spurred the Right 2 Know Campaign against it. More than 400 civil-society organizations and at least 16,000 individuals have endorsed the campaign. Indeed, it looks as if this still-young democracy has arrived at another muddy crossroads as it finds its footing in the democratic space. What is also fueling the protest is that the bill provides for a prison sentence of up to 25 years for anyone who reveals what the government deems it necessary to keep secret in order to safeguard the country's national security. Such a sanction would also apply to anyone who might be in possession of such material received from another party and did not turn it over immediately to the police or state security. Imagine what could happen to whistle-blowers in cases involving wrongdoing by the government or its officials. In addition, critics are upset that a government promise of widespread consultations with the public never materialized. The hue and cry has been far and wide, local and global, with headlines in South African papers like the one in the Star, proclaiming, "Parliament's Vote of Shame," and editorials like the one in Business Day, proclaiming on the day of the vote that every MP who voted for the bill would "at that moment take personal responsibility for the first piece of legislation since the end of apartheid that dismantles an aspect of our democracy -- a betrayal to haunt them forever." Popular columnist Justice Malala told CNN that this ANC is "not seen as the ANC of Nelson Mandela." And indeed, the foundation that bears Mandela's name has weighed in with fixes that it says will right the wrongs in the bill. Dissent like this arises from the concern about growing corruption in the country, including among government officials at the national and local levels. The fear is that the kind of investigative journalism that has exposed much of it would be deemed a threat to national security and put journalists behind bars.
