|Intro, Specifications & Bundle
**Update: Sapphire re-branded this product the Toxic Radon X1900 XTX after our review was published.
Sapphire has been one of ATI's premier board partners for quite some time now. Their products tend to be very similar to those available directly from ATI themselves, but Sapphire does take additional steps to differentiate their offerings with unique accessory and software bundles, and occasionally unique cooling solutions. In the past, we've reviewed a couple of Sapphire's passively cooled "Ultimate Edition" cards and have also evaluated a few products in their "Toxic" family of products that feature oversized air coolers. Today though, we're going to take a look at a Sapphire's first liquid-cooled card, the Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX.
As its name implies, the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is based upon ATI's latest flagship GPU, but instead of featuring a dual-slot heatsinks / fan assembly like ATI's cards, the Toxic is equipped with a slick, self-contained liquid-cooler that keeps the GPU cool without generating much noise. Sapphire also plans to ship the card pre-overclocked, which will give it a performance advantage over any standard Radeon X1900 XTX that strictly adheres to ATI's reference specifications. Check it out...
Sapphire's high-end cards have been shipping with a very comprehensive software and accessory bundle as of late. Included with the card itself, we found a basic user's manual, an addendum detailing CrossFire power requirements, a driver CD-ROM, and an assortment of other discs that included copies of Cyberlink's PowerDVD 6, Power Director 4, and Sapphire's "Software Select" CD. Although it wasn't included in our sample, the Toxic will also ship with a copy of Sapphire's "TRIXX" overclocking utility. The copy of Cyberlink's Power Director video editing software was included to compliment the card's video in / video out (ViVo) capabilities. In past reviews we've found an older version of Power Director to be quite useful and easy to use (see here).
The Software Select CD is a Sapphire exclusive that gives buyers a choice of their gaming bundle. Two unlock codes are included with the disk, with which users can install two of four available games, Brothers in Arms (Road to Hill 30), Prince of Persia (Warrior Within), Richard Burns Rally, or Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
There was also a collection of cables and adapters included with Sapphire's Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX. There was a standard 6-ft S-Video cable included, a composite video cable, and two DVI-to-DB15 adapters along with a splitter for connecting the card to an HD-TV's components inputs, and another adapter equipped with S-Video and composite video inputs and outputs. Lastly, there was a molex-to-6-pin PCI Express power cable adapter thrown in as well.
|The Card & Cooler
The Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is very similar to an ATI-built Radeon X1900 XTX on some levels. Both cards share the same PCB, GPU, memory and components. But because this card is equipped with a custom liquid-cooling apparatus, that cools only the GPU, the card's RAM chips are adorned with individual heatsinks to help keep temperatures in check.
Other than the differences in the cooling hardware, the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX differs from an ATI-built card only in its core and memory clock speeds. Sapphire plans to ships the Toxic at the end of this month with its Radeon X1900 XTX core clocked to 675MHz and its 512MB of memory clocked at 1.6GHz, increases of 25MHz and 50MHz (DDR) over stock reference specs. Should this change sometime between now and when the card ships, however, we'll update this review and let you know.
The real story in regard to the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is the card's self-contained liquid cooling apparatus. The unit is built for Sapphire by Thermaltake. It is reminiscent of Thermaltake's Tide Water all-in-one VGA liquid-cooler, but Sapphires solution actually differs from the Tide Water in a couple of ways. Sapphire's cooler is thinner and has a larger, lighted fan, and it generates a bit more noise than the Tide Water as well.
The cooler's water block and radiator are made from pure Copper for increased heat conductivity and dissipation, and the cooling fan can be run at one of two speeds thanks to a simple switch on the top of the cooler. At the lower setting, the fan spins at 2000RPM and generates 18db of noise. At the higher setting the fan spins at 2500RPM and generates 26dB. We found both modes to be very quiet during testing, and think the cooler will not be audible in a typical system with a closed case. The cooler requires almost no maintenance because it is closed loop, but should you have to clean the unit or ad water at some point in the future there is a cap on the reservoir and a fill port right on the side of the unit.
On top of its performance and quiet operation, we like the fact that there is enough slack in the tubing to install the cooler in a slot that's not adjacent to the graphics card itself.
|Our Test System & 3DMark06
HOW WE CONFIGURED THE TEST SYSTEMS: We tested our NVIDIA cards on an Asus A8N32-SLI nForce 4 SLIX16 chipset based motherboard. However, the ATI powered cards were tested on an A8R32-MVP motherboard based on the CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset. Both systems used the same AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor and 1GB of low-latency Corsair XMS RAM, though. The first thing we did when configuring these test systems was enter each BIOS and loaded the "High Performance Defaults." The hard drive was then formatted, and Windows XP Professional with SP2 was installed. When the installation was complete, we installed the latest chipset drivers available, installed all of the other necessary drivers for the rest of our components, and removed Windows Messenger from the system. Auto-Updating and System Restore were also disabled, the hard drive was defragmented, and a 768MB permanent page file was created on the same partition as the Windows installation. Lastly, we set Windows XP's Visual Effects to "best performance," installed all of the benchmarking software, and ran the tests.
The Toxic's increased clock speeds give the card an obvious edge over a standard Radeon X1900 XTX in 3DMark06's default test, but as an added bonus they even gave the card enough of a boost to overtake NVIDIA's new GeForce 7900 GTX. The difference in performance is minimal though, as you can see.
If we break down the 3DMark06 results, we see that NVIDIA's current flagship is the clear victor in the Shader Model 2.0 tests, besting the Toxic by almost 150 points. The Toxic was again marginally faster than the reference Radeon X1900 XTX.
The Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX was the dominant performer in 3DMark06's Shader Model 3.0 / HDR tests, which explains its overall victory in 3DMark06 as well. Sapphire's flagship video card outpaced the 7900 GTX by 220 points here, or about 9%.
|Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory v1.05
Without any additional pixel processing used, the GeForce 7900 GTX held onto small leads at both resolutions, but the scales tip in favor of the Radeon X1900 XTXs, or more specifically the Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX, when AA and Anisotropic filtering are enabled. Once again, the Toxic's increased clock speeds give it enough of an edge to outpace the 7900 GTX at 1280x1024 4X/16X, where the reference X1900 XTX could not.
|FarCry v1.33
Our custom FarCry benchmark told us essentially the same story as the Splinter Cell benchmark on the previous page. Without any anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering used, the GeForce 7900 GTX was the fastest card of the bunch by a couple of frame per second. However, when anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering were switched on, Sapphire's Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX comes screaming back to the pole position. The reference X1900 XTX though, fell short of the mark set by 7900 GTX at 1280x1024 when AA and aniso were enabled.
|Half Life 2
We're not going to spend too much time dissecting the results of our custom Half Life 2 benchmark, because all of the cards we tested posted excellent frame rates, and the test system was basically CPU bound with any of the 512MB cards installed. Technically speaking, the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX was the fastest overall, but a difference of one or two frames per second can hardly be considered a clear victory, when all of the cards are putting up 135+ frames per second.
|F.E.A.R. v1.03
A pattern similar to what we saw with FarCry and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory emerged with the F.E.A.R. benchmark. Once again, without any additional pixel processing applied, the GeForce 7900 GTX was the top dog, besting the ATI powered cards by as much as 10%. Switch on 4X anti-aliasing and 16X anisotropic filtering though, and the Radeons come right back. The 7900 GTX remained slightly faster at the lower resolution, but at 1600x1200 with 4XAA and 16X Aniso enabled the Toxic is over 10% faster than NVIDIA's current flagship.
|Quake 4 v18.104.22.168
The GeForce 7900 GTX, and the 512MB GeForce 7800 GTX for that matter, clearly outpaced the Radeon X1900 XTXs in our custom Quake 4 benchmark. The 7900 GTX was about 18% to 25% faster than Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX in the default tests. When anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering were enabled simultaneously though, the GeForces' leads get much smaller, but it was again able to outpace the Radeon by approximately 10% to 13%.
|Overclocking the Toxic X1900XTX
As we neared the end of our testing, we spent a little time overclocking the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX using the clock frequency slider available within ATI's Catalyst driver suite, under the Overdrive tab. To find the card's peak core and memory frequencies, we slowly raised their respective sliders until we began to see visual artifacts on-screen while running a game or benchmark, or the test system became unstable.
Due to the fact that the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is scheduled to ship at higher clock speeds than a standard Radeon X1900 XTX, and we tested the card at its higher clocks, it was obviously faster than a "stock" card. We were hoping that the Toxic's liquid-cooling apparatus would allow for even higher frequencies though, and we weren't disappointed. When we let ATI's driver's detect the Toxic's optimal frequency, Overdrive reported peak core and memory clock speeds of 689MHz and 801MHz for the core and memory clocks, respectively. However, we took things a step further and were actually able to max out the sliders available on the overdrive tab for final overclocked speeds of 690MHz and 801MHz. We also tried overclocking the card using a third-party tool, but at 700MHz / 810MHz we could not complete a loop of 3DMark, so we backed things down to 690MHz / 801MHz for additional testing. With the card configured at these clocks, we re-ran a couple of tests and saw marginal performance increases in both, as you can see in the graphs above.
While we had the card overclocked, we also checked the GPU core temperature after running a handful of benchmarks and found that the core ran at about 60oC after an extended period of use and it peaked at about 88oC. That's not too much lower than we've seen with the stock Radeon cooler, but the Toxic's liquid-cooler does its job much quieter than the stock cooler.
|Our Summary & Conclusion
Performance Summary: The Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX was an exceptional performer throughout all of our testing. Because the card is due to ship in a "pre-overclocked" state, it was faster than a stock Radeon X1900 XTX in every benchmark we ran. And the Toxic Radeon's higher core and memory clocks also gave it an edge over the GeForce 7900 GTX in a few tests (3DMark06, FarCry, Splinter Cell), where a stock Radeon X1900 XTX fell short of the mark set by NVIDIA's current flagship.
Sapphire's Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is appealing on a few different levels. First off, the card ships with a very complete accessory bundle that includes video editing and DVD playback software, two full-version games, and an assortment of cables that give users the ability to connect the card to a multitude of different display types. The Toxic's liquid cooling apparatus is also another plus in our book. The card's liquid cooler does a better job at keeping the GPU cool than a stock heatsink assembly, and it does so while generating much less noise overall. We also like the fact that the cooler can be relocated into a different slot position within a system, and that it doesn't have to be right up against the video card. The Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX also proved to be a very competent overclocker, and because it's powered by ATI's flagship Radeon X1900 XTX GPU and 512MB of RAM it's obviously a heck of a performer too.
With an MSRP of $569, the Sapphire Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is not cheap by any means. But considering that "stock" X1900 XTXs are currently selling for about $530 to $580, and Sapphire will be offering a $30 mail in rebate bringing the final price down to $539, we think the Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX's price-premium is well justified. The Toxic card's quieter liquid-cooler and complete bundle easily make up for the increased cost. Based on the information we currently have from Sapphire, we think the Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX is one of the more attractive high-end video cards we've tested here on HotHardware. We're giving the Toxic Radeon X1900 XTX a strong 9 on the Heat Meter, and a rare HotHardware Editor's Choice award.

Probabilistic Chooser
In the common Internet context of listing dynamic content that users are voting for, one encounters users gaming the ranking system by seeing who gets first, or unrecognized but good content content hiding below the popular content.
The solution is to give a weighted listing where each item is chosen proportional to its vote. This technique will prevent positive feedback loops that raise popular items forever above the rest (due to limitations of people's attention span to scan all contributions or positions). It's based on evolutionary theory (and has been used in a
for selecting from a pool of ranked genes between generations). The idea is for every contribution, tally a count of all votes, then each contribution gets weighted from this total and an intelligent throw is made to pick a given item, as follows.
If given these item/vote pairs, for example:
"I am good hacker.":
3 votes
"I am a better hacker.":
8 votes
"No! I am the best HackORZZ!":
13 votes
"I might be the best, but no-one recognizes me":
1 vote
That is a sum total of
25 votes
The probability of being shown first becomes, respectively:
3/25 = 0.12
8/25 = 0.32
13/25 = 0.52
1/25 = 0.04
Totaling, as expected: 1.0 (or 25/25)
Next, take those numbers and accumulate them thusly:
Now, throw a random number [0.0,1.0) and pick the element that is between those results.
Bingo! Problem solved! Over time, under-valued contributors will get moved upward -- no positive reinforcement loops! (Algorithm licensed: CC-BY-NC,
Just throw a random integer [0,25] (in this case) and pick the element that is between the result and not worry about rounding.
This topic could use some context. What alternative is it improving over? What's it for?
Google, for example, could use it to display search results so people don't "game the system" with SearchEngineOptimization
could use it to display all the answers for people to vote for, rather than have the first few values getting all the attention.

I realise these are pretty appalling photos, and I apologise for that. However that isn't the point, the top photo is of a Fieldfare, which is actually incredibly rare to see this far south and at this time of year. The second is a juvenile Starling, losing his fluffy baby feathers to give way for the speckled stomach you can see. Also, spot the sparrow! My life's so boring.
Anyway, these were taken with a Tamron 70-300mm lens, while I was hanging out of my window like an escaping convict. I have however thought of a way to bring the birdies closer, which is to chuck bread on top of my conservatory, which conveniently lies under my bedroom window. I will try it this week and post the results, if I get any.

GRIFFITH | The Town Council on Tuesday received an earful from residents weary of trucks filled with water barreling down their streets.
The complaints ranged from anger at not being told in advance of the 24-hour traffic to requests for the trucks to use different routes at night.
The situation began with a federally required pressure test of an Enbridge Energy Company pipeline between Wisconsin and Griffith, said Jennifer Smith of Enbridge public affairs.
Smith, who lives in Griffith and sits on the Plan Commission, said the treated water now is in storage tanks at the Enbridge facility on Main Street. Federal regulations require that it be returned to the Great Lakes from which it originated.
The only feasible way was to hire a trucking firm to haul it from the tanks to a facility in Gary that will transfer it into Lake Michigan, Smith said.
"We have 29 million gallons of water that we need to move."
It is being moved at the rate of 100 trucks every 12 hours and the firm hopes to have it all moved by the end of the month, she said.
Residents along North Cline Avenue are angry that they were informed of the project on Sept. 12 — a day after the hauling began.
"My main problem is the lack of communication," said resident Susan Nowlin. "We were never advised of the magnitude of the truck traffic."
Council Vice President Rick Ryfa, R-3rd, said the town only learned a couple weeks ago about the project. While it offered to publicize the upcoming traffic, Enbridge said it would do so, Ryfa said.
However, the firm did not go door to door to the residents until after the operation had already started.
Other residents, complaining about the constant truck noise through the night, asked if the nighttime routes could be diverted to Colfax Avenue, Broad Street, Kennedy Avenue or Indianapolis Boulevard.
But Smith and the council noted that the chosen route was deemed as the best one to take. The trucks leave Enbridge on Main, travel Cline to U.S. 20 into Gary.
"I just hope this doesn't happen again," said resident Kathy Baxter. She spoke of the danger it presents to children and elderly people.
Smith assured that no tests are planned for the other pipelines.
In the meantime, the council credited Enbridge for offering, in advance, to give the town $775,000 to pay for any road resurfacing that might be necessary.
"Enbridge came to us and offered (the money) and we accepted their offer," said Council President Glen Gaby, R-1.
Ryfa said the council apologizes for the communications glitch from Enbridge to the residents.
"If we had to do it again, the town would have made those contacts and tackle everything up front as we always have."

If you're from anywhere in the British Commonwealth, it's fairly certain that the XX Commonwealth Games are in your thoughts right now as competitors line up with some of the best in the world in Glasgow.
With over 400 athletes hailing from Australia and a swag of medals already in the bag we are again asserting a claim to being the Number One sporting nation in the British Commonwealth.
One of our greatest Commonwealth and Olympic Games swimmers, breaking 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle world records, was Kieren Perkins, O.A.M.
When asked how he achieved such feats he answered, "Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you as it is about overcoming the barriers we place in front of ourselves".
As personal bests are beaten and world records fall, many thoughtful people admit that health, like sporting success, is about overcoming the barriers we believe — not just about what's going on physically but what's happening mentally.Continue Reading

Never again under my watch will slut shaming go unchallenged. There will always be an ally with me, Jane Does.
A campaign of victim-blaming has begun against the young woman who was raped in Steubenville. She and her family need to know that there are people who support her. We support you Jane Doe, and all other Janes Does everywhere. Send your solidarity now.
Never again under my watch will slut shaming go unchallenged. There will always be an ally with me, Jane Does.
You haven't been forgotten.
We wore red and black and made a facebook event page, we'll be doing it again April 12 if anyone here wants to join in. https://www.facebook.com/events/172208036263703/
Jane, I cannot put into words how much I admire you. I can't imagine what you have been through, and what you continue to go through, even as you are trying to put the past behind you. On behalf of women everywhere, and other victims who haven't gotten the justice they deserve, THANK YOU. I know what you're going through is hard, but it will get better. I mean, look at all these love letters to you! Keep your head up girl. Thanks for being strong.
Dear Jane Doe,
You are an amazing, strong person. Do not listen to the people trying to tear you down. You did the right thing-an incredibly brave thing-in standing up and saying, NO. WHAT HAPPENED WAS NOT RIGHT. You have my best wishes.
There is nothing more I want to do than to send you and your family love and support. You are an incredibly brave, beautiful, strong young woman and you deserve for things to get better. I promise you they will. Keep hoping for the future and don't stop fighting. Blessed be.
Dear Jane Doe,
I wanted to send you love and support in this difficult time, as a man who respects the women he has in his life: grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and nieces.
I believe those boys (should not even claim themselves as men) should be jailed for years and not have parole. They are despicable.
I support you against all of the people that blame you. Those people are cruel and insensitive and have no right to treat you that way. You are not the one to be blamed. You did nothing wrong.
I want you to remain strong because you help women everywhere who are afraid to speak out. I wish you the best in your time of need.
Thanh Nguyen
Hello, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I hope you do. I wrote this as part of a blog that I published a few days ago, detailing how I also was sexually assaulted, and the effect that both the assault itself and the victim-blaming I faced after the assault had on me:
Please don't listen to the people who tell you that you're to blame for what happened to you. You should have been safe. Someone should have stood up for you, covered you up, and made sure that you got somewhere where no one would force sexual contact on you. Someone should have protected you when you were unable to protect yourself. You did not in any way deserve what happened; the most that should have happened is awakening with a horrible hangover and being grounded until you turn 30 when your parents found out you were drinking illegally. I hope that you're able to trust again. I hope that you're able to understand that not all boys will ever do to you what was done that night, and that the "boys" who did force themselves on you are scumbags, because only scumbags would take advantage of a person who is unconscious and unable to consent to sexual contact.
I'm sorry for what you've had to endure. I know how painful it is. But above all, know this: You are strong, and you will get through this. You aren't alone, and there are millions of people out there who only know you as Jane Doe who would love nothing more than to hug you, wipe away your tears, and tell you that you are loved and admired for standing up to injustice. Please don't stop. Be brave, and know that there are millions supporting you. And I'll tell you the same thing that my therapist told me: You aren't a victim, you are a survivor. And don't you ever forget it or let anyone tell you otherwise.
The full blog is here:
Jane Doe, whoever you are, I am so, so sorry that this happened to you. What those boys did was horrible, awful, and cruel in every conceivable way, and I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Please know that you are not alone, and we are rooting for you. NONE of this is your fault. You didn't deserve what happened to you that night, and you don't deserve any of the terrible treatment you are receiving right now. You are beautiful, wonderful, intelligent, and brave, especially in the face of a culture that coddles rapists and shushes women like you.
Whatever you might be feeling right now—anger, sadness, fear, or relief, just know that it is okay for you to feel that way. Do you forgive your attackers, feel pity for them? Awesome, that is your right. Will you NEVER forgive them? Great, that is ALSO your right. Do not let anyone tell you how to think, feel, or react about whatever has happened, or will happen. Your feelings are your own, and they are correct.
You have the rest of your life ahead of you to live, and I am confident that with time, and a little help from Team You (that is, friends, family, health and legal professionals, or other trustworthy people who have your back), you will blossom into a wonderful, vibrant woman. As trite as this may sound, it WILL get better.
Hugs if you want them,
All the terrible things that have happened to you are—and there's honestly no other way I can think to say it—fucking bullshit. Especially everything after the conviction.
Remember that, while you are strong and brave, that doesn't mean you aren't allowed empathy, and moments of weakness and unhappiness, and you are entitled to ask others for their help. I hope you have people with you, more than just anonymous submitters on tumblr like me, who can be there for you when you are not strong and are not brave, because you are a person who deserves the strength and bravery of others when you are down.
We are with you.

After harvest, selected grape bunches are exposed to the warm autumnal sunlight and undergo a brief, natural drying process. Following a gentle pressing, the juices are vinified under temperature-controlled conditions.
Elegant and supple, this single-vineyard wine couples fullness of flavor with an underlying acidity.

Vermentino wines are a versatile match for a wide array of appetizers and entrees, especially shellfish and seafood dishes.

Fairly removed from Italy, both geographically and culturally, Sardinia has more grazing animals than vineyards. An agricultural community, the small island is secluded. With high influences from Spain as much as Italy, the grapes of the region hail from both countries.

An essential point in anarcha-feminism is that the changes must begin today, not tomorrow or after the revolution. The revolution shall be permanent. WE MUST START TODAY BY SEEING THROUGH THE OPPRESSION IN DAILY LIFE AND DO SOMETHING TO BREAK THE PATTERN HERE AND NOW.
We must act autonomously, without delegating to any leaders what we wish and what we shall do: we must make decisions by ourselves in personal matters, together with other women in purely female matters, and together with the male fellows in common matters.

The Ancestors of Christ Windows at Canterbury Cathedralby Jeffrey Weaver
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Eighty-six near-life-size figures of the male ancestors of Christ once looked down on the choir and eastern extension of the medieval cathedral and priory church of Canterbury. Made of colored glass, with the details of the faces and costumes painted on the surface, the ancestors of Christ windows illuminated the liturgical areas during all but the earliest services in the depths of winter, glowing pale blue at dawn and yellow and red at noon. Dating from the twelfth century, the surviving windows from this series are among the oldest panels of stained glass in England, and they are significant examples of what was at the time a relatively new art—monumental stained glass. They are also considered to be among the most famous works of English medieval painting.
This luminously illustrated book discusses the original context, iconographic program, and stylistic development of these windows. It also explores how the windows were perceived by various medieval viewing constituencies, including royals, peasants, princes of the church, the local Jewish community, and monks resident at Canterbury.
The Ancestors of Christ Windows at Canterbury Cathedral is published on the occasion of the exhibition Canterbury and St. Albans: Treasures from Church and Cloister on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from September 20, 2013, to February 2, 2014.

AIADMK pays Rs.3,000 to vote for it: DMK
The DMK Wednesday told the Election Commission and police that voters were being given Rs.3,000 or other gifts by AIADMK members to solicit vote for the ruling party in Tamil Nadu.
The DMK also alleged that police acted in concert with the AIADMK while election returning officers took no action to stop the mass bribery.
The complaint by DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin also charges senior police officers with preventing their juniors from taking action against erring AIADMK members despite complaints.
"The entire state machinery is abused and misused for ensuring distribution of money by the AIADMK cadres and orders are being issued from the persons at the helm of the administration to facilitate the same," Stalin said in his police complaint.
According to him, the money was being transported by police and other officials in their vehicles.
"There is a complete breakdown of the enforcement by the Election Commission in curbing this menace for the past two days," the complaint says.
Urging the Election Commission to lift the prohibitory orders in the state till Thursday morning, the DMK said the entire administration has been taken over by police.

atic for at least three reasons. First, the determination of what constitutes an influential risk assessment may be unclear at the outset. Although some agencies may be able to identify an influential risk assessment at the onset of the analysis,1 others may not be able to.2 The impact of an agency activity that led to the development of the risk assessment may not be known a priori. Some degree of iteration is necessary and appropriate, but the application of additional standards when some arbitrary impact threshold is crossed may lead to needless and inappropriate delays in implementation of the action.
Second, the effort to separate risk assessments arbitrarily into two broad categories does not appropriately recognize the continuum of risk assessment efforts in terms of potential impact on economic, environmental, cultural, and social values. Any attempt to divide that continuum into two categories is unlikely to succeed and will not substantially improve the quality of risk assessments. The use of two categories will tend to lead to costly and slow iterative processes in which a risk assessment may not be judged influential initially but on completion may be found to cross an arbitrary threshold that triggers the additional standards. It may be that additional evaluation and analysis may be appropriate as the impacts of the risk assessment are better identified, but an arbitrary triggering of a new set of standards is not appropriate.
Third, the specific standards to be required of all influential risk assessments appear to be targeted at types of risk assessments and supporting information that may not be appropriate for the broad array of risk assessments that are conducted by federal agencies. Several standards proposed for influential risk assessments appear to be related specifically to human health risk assessments; these standards might not be appropriate for engineering risk assessments that evaluate the safety of structures or systems. Other issues associated with the standards are discussed in the remainder of this chapter.
One focus in the bulletin is the presentation of a range of risk estimates and a central estimate; statements on this topic in the bulletin and

4. Sun Nov 2 – FRANK – 1 hr 35 min – R. Acclaimed Irish director Lenny Abrahamson delivers this offbeat comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal). "Odd, offbeat, somehow endearing, the bleakly comic Frank has its own kind of charm as well as some pointed, poignant things to say about the mysterious nature of creativity, where it comes from and where it might all go." –Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times. "You're in for something funny, touching and vital." –Peter Travers, Rolling Stone. Watch the Trailer
5. Sun Nov 9 – AND SO IT GOES – 1 hr 34 min – PG-13. Audiences loved it when we showed it at Sutton Cinemas and it's got Diane Keaton back in her lovable Annie Hall mode. Michael Douglas stars as obnoxious realtor Oren Little who wants nothing more than to sell one last house and retire in peace and quiet -- until his estranged son suddenly drops off a granddaughter (Sterling Jerins) he never knew existed and turns his life upside-down. Clueless about how to care for a sweet, abandoned nine-year-old, he pawns her off on his determined and lovable neighbor Leah (Diane Keaton). But little by little, Oren stubbornly learns to open his heart - to his family, to Leah, and to life itself - in this uplifting comedy from acclaimed director Rob Reiner. This is one to see with an audience! "This is one of the rare movies trying to connect with the older crowd that still loves to go to the cinema and watch great stars do their thing." –Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times. Watch the Trailer
6. Sun Nov 16 – A PICTURE OF YOU – 1 hr 23 min – Not Rated. Kyle (Andrew Pang) and Jen (Jo Mei), estranged siblings, travel from New York City to rural Pennsylvania to pack up the home of their recently deceased mother. While there, they make a discovery that turns their world upside-down. J.P. Chan's debut feature is a serious movie about life that collides with a funny movie about death. It's a story about family, loss, secrets, letting go, and starting anew. "A curiously likable, entertainingly laid-back Asian-American take on all-too-familiar dysfunctional family tropes, this skillfully acted family drama suddenly careens into comedy." –Ronnie Scheib, Variety.

7. Sun Nov 23 – ROCKS IN MY POCKETS – 1 hr 28 min – Not Rated. In this new animated gem, Latvian-born artist and filmmaker Signe Baumane tells five fantastical tales based on the courageous women in her family and their battles with madness. With boundless imagination and a twisted sense of humor, she has created daring stories of art, romance, marriage, nature, business, and Eastern European upheaval-all in the fight for her own sanity. Employing a unique, beautifully textured combination of papier-mâché stop-motion and classic hand-drawn animation (with inspiration from Jan Svankmajer and Bill Plympton), Baumane has produced a poignant and often hilarious tale of mystery, mental health, redemption and survival. "Boasting a narrative of extraordinary complexity and density, stuffed with irony, humor and tales-within-tales, this imaginative animated memoir is a modern milestone in animated storytelling." –Alissa Simon, Variety. Watch the Trailer
8. Sun Nov 30 – I AM ELEVEN – 1 hr 34 min – Not Rated. Do you remember when you were 11? Australian filmmaker Genevieve Bailey travelled the world for six years talking with 11-year-olds to compose this insightful, funny and moving portrait of childhood. From an orphanage in India to a single-parent household in inner-city Melbourne, to bathing with elephants in Thailand, I AM ELEVEN explores the lives and thoughts of children from all around the world. It weaves together deeply personal and at times hilarious portraits of what it means to stand on the cusp between childhood and adolescence. These young minds, still unguarded and remarkably honest, offer a powerful insight into the future of our world. "There's something exhilarating about the movie's reach and quiet ambition, and the thoughtful, bold, confident, wide-eyed and expressive 11-year-olds at its centre. –Sydney Morning Herald. "This effective crowdpleaser has gathered tremendous box office and critical momentum in Australia." –Variety.

Okay, I'd just like to take a second to talk about a serious matter.
Our STEM All-Star #19 is Rosalind Franklin, Molecular Biologist. Download a printable PDF here.
Our STEM All-Star #19 is Rosalind Franklin, Molecular Biologist. Download a printable PDF here.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958) was a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made critical contributions to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to discovery of DNA double helix.
Her data, according to Francis Crick, was "the data we actually used" to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 hypothesis regarding the structure of DNA. Franklin's images of X-ray diffraction confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked. Unpublished drafts of her papers (written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix and the location of the phosphate groups on the outside of the structure. Moreover, Franklin personally told Crick and Watson that the backbones had to be on the outside, which was crucial since before this both they and Linus Pauling had independently generated non-illuminating models with the chains inside and the bases pointing outwards. However, her work was published third, in the series of three DNANature articles, led by the paper of Watson and Crick which only hinted at her contribution to their hypothesis.
Watson and Crick used her x-ray photographs to develop the double helix model of DNA.
If we weren't in the business of celebrating single people 'round these parts, we would be tempted to set Rosalind Franklin up with the subject of our last post (if, you know, she and Tesla had lived at the same time.) Like Tesla, Rosalind was one of the great scientific minds of her day, and like Tesla, she was also robbed of credit for her work: (non-single) assholes Watson and Crick stole her research on DNA and used it to formulate their own hypothesis on the structure of the double helix, while completely failing to acknowledge Rosalind's contributions. Nonetheless, Rosalind continued to kick scientific ass for the rest of her life, even authoring several papers while undergoing treatment for cancer. So here's a small portion of the recognition Rosalind deserves: she's one fantastic single person, and we're big, big fans.
(Rosalind Franklin submitted by cappyboppy. Post written by me because she's SILLY.)
Rosalind Franklin was a biologist and chemist, famous for her role in discovering the structure of DNA.
She learnt about x-ray diffraction techniques in Paris and then in 1951 joined King's College, London. There she led a research project, aimed at discovering the structure of DNA.
Franklin used pioneering crystallographic X-ray photography to capture images of the double helical structure of DNA. These images helped James Watson to complete and publish his model of DNA.
After her work at Kings she went on to study the tobacco mosaic virus and polio.
Sadly she died of cancer in 1956 and some believe the cause of her cancer could have been linked to her exposure to radiation whilst using the x-ray techniques that contributed so greatly to Watson's discovery.

first off - you can "go advanced" in your posts and attach the image - then it won't break the frame.. :)
Secondly, yes, it the lands look good - the texts are much to dominating however - they need to be toned a lot down :)
Looks nice. I'd bring the text down in size (possibly change the font too) as Tilt said. Generally text size correllates to the size of the area it's describing (big for oceans, small for cities and towns)
I agree with the previous posters. The text is too dominant.
On a good note, I really like the clouds. It gives a greater sense of realism.
Although I agree with the previous posts, I can see why you would want to give that text concept a try. It does look pretty cool. Might work as an animation sequence in a 3d movie.
maybe this is a bit better?
thats much better. A thing you might concider is using text size to show the size of the element.
Example: town and cities have the smallest size, woods sligthly larger, mountains larger yet, countries and oceans largest.
here's a view from Google Earth
map image is overlaid onto the globe
The new font is more readable.
* You use two different types of drop-shadow like effects. A black one and one that uses the color of the text Is there significance to that? I think the black effect is more readable and more attractive.
* The map is kind of confusing those not familiar with the books, there are big labels all around, but with most it is unlcear weather they indicate a city, region or continent. Dots for cities would help clear that up. You use orange for water features, but it took me a while to figure that out, since orange is kind of counterintuitive in that role.
* Google Earth view: Did you chop the arctic off? Why can't either of the ice caps be seen?
jeez, tough crowd, lol
thanks for the feedback from everyone...
I didn't even see the different colored shadows! I should probably wear my contacts when I work on my maps,
got a little lazy I guess...
hope this one is easier to look at
I left the clouds off on this one as well, should help improve the clarity

Director Marc Webb revealed via Twitter who he has chosen to play Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – Dane DeHaan, or a reasonable facsimile While not a household name, DeHaan proved himself a capable performer playing the misunderstood bad guy in 2011's Chronicle (read Doug's review of the Blu-ray), one of the most believable films about super-powered people ever released. He was most recently seen in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln.
DeHaan's character in Chronicle was a moody kid that had serious issues with his father. This, in my opinion, makes him perfectly suited to portray Harry Osborne. The big question now is how Osborne will be portrayed in the film. Provided they go with the popular & moody version we've seen before, DeHaan is undoubtedly the right man for the job.
The current plan is to have The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters May 2, 2014. Shooting will begin early next year with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone reprising their respective roles. The script was written by a team of Fringe alumni – Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci and Jeff Pinkerer. Hey, maybe we'll get a Doctor Bishop cameo!
How do you feel about this new casting information? DeHaan has some large, emotional shoes to fill after James Franco's performance in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films. Is he up to the task?
The clip below shows one of DeHaan's many memorable moments in Chronicle:

I won't let you turn around
And tell me now, I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead
Do, do, do your dirty words
Come out to play when you are hurt?
There's certain things that should be left unsaid
Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
And life's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt
At this point in your life, and maybe throughout your life, you need a man who needs you, not a man who has you when needed.

Rhode Island Facts
The smallest state of the union, Rhode Island, also has the longest official name of any of the states: "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations". The state is one of the most densely populated and heavily industrialized for its size.
For a state that is only 37 miles wide and 48 miles long, it is notable that its shoreline on Narragansett Bay in the Atlantic Ocean runs for 400 miles. Indeed, one of Rhode Island's nicknames is "the Ocean State."
The legendary mansions of Newport overlook the ocean at Narragansett Bay. Many of these spectacular homes are open for tourists and offer an inside glimpse into the lives of America's high society.
The Breakers, the magnificent Vanderbilt mansion built in 1895, is one of the most elegant private homes that has ever graced the Newport shorefront.
Rhode Island Trivia
- At the Point Judith corrosion test site material samples sit exposed for years and are analyzed to determine the toll taken by ocean air and the sun.
- The state was home to the first open golf tournament. The event occurred in 1895.
- The first circus in the United States was in Newport in 1774.
- Nine Men's Misery monument in Cumberland is the oldest known monument to veterans in the United States. It was erected in memory of the colonists killed in Pierce's Fight during King Phillips War in 1676.

A daily Tumblr from the editors of GQ Magazine.
If you are an admirer of Houston St., moved by its struggle to rise above a history of drugs, alcohol, and indie rock, reveling in the hilarity of tourists mispronouncing the name, grateful for the existence of Katz's pastrami, you might enjoy finding your way to Estela.
The twelve restaurants on GQ's list of places to go for a perfect night out will make you feel coddled, welcome, and well fed. You can't ask for more than that.
Last week, the best chefs in America gathered at Le Bernardin in New York to take their best shots at the man who's taken his best shots at them for 25 years. Eric Ripert, Daniel Boulud, David Chang—all took turns as roastmaster general. But the highlight was the long-awaited showdown between GQ's longtime restaurant critic and his arch-nemesis, Anthony Bourdain. More on that later. First up, Part 1: The Preheating.

50 Days of Doctor Who 50th Challenge (x)
October 04: Who was your first Doctor?
I started watching Doctor Who at the episode "Blink." I'd been wanting to get involved in the show for a while, seeing so much heart and sorrow and funnies from it with gifsets on Tumblr. I saw how sweet and humble David Tennant was, and the Doctor he played, so naturally I wanted to begin with his tenure. I was not disappointed. His Doctor is a charming, wonderful man, full of innocent joy, intuitive spontaneity, and deep, haunting fears. His happiness is infectious, his sorrow tense and real, and his humanity, heart-wrenching and beautiful all at once.
That slow, impish grin. He's perfect.

Kirin has gone to some fairly preposterous lengths to keep those cold ones cold: The brewery has developed a new device for restaurants in Japan that stores frozen beer head, no ice or water added, and then swirls it on your normal, head-lacking Kirin, frozen-yogurt-style. (Which still raises a few questions, namely: How the hell do they gather all that foam? And what does it taste like?) True, the words "beer" and "frozen yogurt" should probably never be used together. But impressively, Kirin reports that the beer with the iced head stays colder for a good eight minutes longer than it otherwise would, for a total of about 30 minutes. In case you just really need to nurse that thing? The device has not made its way over to the U.S., but that video might make you curious. [via The Food Section]
