(May 19, 2010) On May 9, 2010, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) of the European Union, in response to the grave financial crisis that is currently unfolding in Greece and in an effort to preserve and restore financial stability in the euro zone, convened an extraordinary meeting in Brussels, at which it endorsed a comprehensive set of emergency measures. A key measure is the establishment of a "European Financial Stabilization Mechanism" (EFSM), composed of loan guarantees and euro bonds, to protect euro zone members from market speculation and rescue them in future crises. EU Members have agreed not to allow a "new Greece" to arise.
In the case of Greece, the EFSM amounts to a total of €110 billion (about US$136 billion), to be given to the Greek government. On May 9, 2010, on behalf of the 16 euro zone members, the European Commission signed a loan agreement with Greece. On May 18, 2010, Greece received the first €20 billion (about US$24.7 billion) loan, comprised of €14.5 billion from euro zone member states and €5.5 billion from the IMF. Meanwhile, Giorgos Papakonstanstinou, the Minister of Finance, secured a provision in Greece's favor to repay the loan within a five-year period, rather than the three years initially agreed upon. (First Tranche of Loan Coming, KATHIMERINI, May 8, 2010, available at http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_economy_1_08/05/2010_11693
0; Greece Receives First Tranche of EU Bail-Out Loan, BBC NEWS, May 18, 2010, available at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8688620.stm.)
The EFSM is composed of three parts. One part provides for possible financial assistance to a euro zone Member through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which is to be established on the basis of an intergovernmental agreement of all euro zone participating members. In accordance with German demands, an SPV will guarantee a loan on a pro-rated basis of up to €440 billion (about US$543 billion). The European Commission has emphasized that the SPV is not a bail out, because it allows the granting of loans, not direct aid grants. (Press Release, ECOFIN, European Stabilization Mechanism to Preserve Financial Stability (May 9/10, 2010), available at http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ecofin/
The second part of the EFSM is financial support from the International Monetary Fund. The loan granted to Greece by the Fund is expected to be activated on condition of joint EU/International Monetary Fund (IMF) support, with terms and conditions akin to those typically set by the IMF. The IMF is expected to contribute close to €220 billion (about US$272 billion), half of that promised by the EU Members to support Greece.
ECOFIN, utilizing article 122.2 of the Lisbon Treaty which provides for financial support when EU Member States experience hardships caused by exceptional circumstances beyond a Member State's control, and with the agreement of the euro zone members, established the third part of the mechanism, a loan in the amount of €60 billion (about US$74 billion). http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/173.)
ECOFIN expressed its support for "the ambitious and realistic consolidation and reform of the Greek government." Specifically, it approved the decision of the Greek government to reduce the deficit by four points in 2010 from 12.75% of gross domestic product (GDP) to 8.7% and to below 3% by the year 2012. ECOFIN made several vital recommendations to the Greek government on implementing reform measures in the area of salaries, wages, pensions, the healthcare system, public administration, and increased employment and productivity. However, Olli Rehn, the European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, stated the European Commission's intention to initiate infringement proceedings against Greece for providing inaccurate statistics and data pertaining to the public finances of the country. Meanwhile, the European Statistics body (EUROSTAT) requested that the Greek authorities provide information on the functioning of the country's currency markets and derivatives, which may have induced the discrepancy between the budget deficit and public debt data. (The ECOFIN Council Urges Greece to Apply an 'Ambitious Package' of Structural Reforms, Feb. 16, 2010, EU Spanish Presidency website, available at http://ue2010.net/en/documentosynoticias/noticias/Feb16_ECOFIN.html.)
The Greek Prime Minister reiterated that the Greek government is fully committed to implementing a host of austerity measures despite Greek citizens' indignation over the imposition of such measures, which has culminated in general strikes, protests, and violent incidents. (Greek Strikers Hit Athens Streets Over Austerity Plan, BBC, May 4, 2010, available at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8658973.stm.)

Anusuya Sivaram on Multicultural Coexistence in London
December 7, 2010
As a student in central London, the vibrancy of the city never ceases to amaze me. Not only does the action never pause, but the city's rich multiculturalism is evident everywhere I go. A four minute walk west of my flat leads me to bustling Chinatown, where I can buy anything from a lacquered tea set to a pig uterus. Five minutes southwest leads me to Soho, often labeled the heart of the gay scene in London. Ten minutes to the north takes me to the British Museum, where I can see (but not touch) relics from literally everywhere the British army set foot—which is indeed, everywhere. A few tube stops away is Brick Lane, where I can eat a fiery curry and get my eyebrows done in the afternoon, and dance the night away to an underground British indie sensation. However, London's diverse population isn't constrained to these artificial oases of difference. As opposed to other places I called home, when I go out, I see people in every size, color, shape, and flavor.
When I first arrived, I was struck by the number of new immigrants the city housed, literally. The first meal my family shared in London was at an Indian restaurant in Kings Cross run by a Bangladeshi man. My father struck up a conversation with him, asking him about his family and his job. When asked if he was happy in London, there was no doubt in his mind he was absolutely certain that London offered him more opportunities, more support, and more options than his native Bangladesh had. From welfare and health care, to business opportunities and cultural enclaves, London had everything he felt he needed to lead a rich and productive life. I asked him why he chose London, there are plenty of other cities in the world that are closer to Bangladesh, his answer surprised me. In his experience, and the experiences of his peers, London was more racially and culturally tolerant than cities in the Gulf or other European cities, and even more so than America.
In the two months since I had that conversation, his answer surprises me less and less. Tolerance isn't what I experience here; a celebration of everyone's differences and abilities is a more accurate characterization of life in London. Universal health care and professors whose doors are always open provide support, albeit in very different ways. Trafalgar Square hosts celebrations for nearly every holiday in the world, and I can find a protest (and counterprotest) for a plethora of causes on London's streets. I can kiss my date in plain sight across from St. Paul's Cathedral, and nobody bats an eye. There are Hare Krishna groups passing out fliers to the twenty-somethings queued up for entry into the hottest gay bars in Soho, and Asian immigrants hawking beautiful handmade crosses in Portobello Market. London feels like home because it is everyone's home. There is room for every belief and every person—not just a grudging concession in the spirit of tolerance, but an active concession to encourage every lifestyle to thrive. Despite the bitter cold, I'm thriving here as well.

White offers Nick Diaz fight with Machida at 185
UFC president Dana White took part in a fundraiser in Boston today for the Shawn Thornton Foundation, which raises awareness, funds innovative research, and helps to relieve the burden and improve the quality of life for patients striken with Parkinsons and cancer. During a special Q&A, White revealed that if Nick Diaz wants to unretire, he can fight Lyoto Machida, in an intriguing boxing vs. karate match up.
Machida is game to drop to 185, now that teammate Anderson Silva is no longer the middleweight title holder. White previously indicated a desire to match Machida with VItor Belfort, also at 185, but Belfort has said repeatedly he only wants to fight at 185 if the title is on the line.
"I talked to Diaz today, and I made him an offer, so we'll see what happens," White said. "He had been talking about going to 185 pounds. Machida has been talking about going to 185 pounds. So we wanted to see if he wanted to fight Machida at 185."
"I wanted Machida to fight Vitor Belfort, but Vitor Belfort is his own matchmaker, apparently. He wants to make his own fights."
And what does the notoriously mercurial Diaz camp have to say?
"They said they'd get back to me," said White.

8/16/13 8:51 PM by Lebronfloppedhisnutsonmyface
Because it would be a make or break fight for Machida and wouldn't cost much using Diaz to do it. It's a bad fight for Diaz because his pressure, always moving slowly forward is tailor made for Machida's counter style. Think Rashad v Machida for an idea of what happens to guys who come in with hands wide/down hope talking trash against him. If machida wins he stops a downward slide. If he loses then it'll be an easy excuse to drop him from the roster. For Diaz a win would give him some legitimacy at MW where he's already asked for a fight with Anderson, which is SO unlikely unless he can beat a high level fighter to justify his existence anywhere near the mention of a Silva fight. Business wise it's a win-win for the UFC

As in every closing of school year, a performance by children and students takes place in Thamarai,
the social center for children, women and youth founded by Aurovilians in the nearby Tamil village of Edayanchavadi.
The only difference is that this year, the 7th from its creation, it will be the last to take place in the "historical" building that had been restored
from the previous decay and set alive and beautiful by the goodwill of volunteers: the high rate requested by the owner makes it impossible
for us to afford it, so the activities will be continued but dispersed in other buildings in the same village, an health center and the Udavi school.
Farewell Thamarai, long live Thamarai !

The Agency for Health Care Administration tells Local 6 they are investigating a local nursing home after Daytona Beach police say a woman may have been raped there in July.
[RELATED: Volusia County nursing home license downgraded]
The agency said it is investigating Daytona Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center for failure to prevent abuse and neglect after a 75-year-old woman terminally ill woman with dementia tested positive for a STD.
The woman's daughter filed a report and police said after two weeks of asking for the nursing home's cooperation they received only a list of 69 employees and visitors, but were told they weren't allowed to speak to any of them.
"Their failure to cooperate with us is putting other patients in that facility in danger," says Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood. "We've been asking for 14 days for cooperation and for the ability to interview employees and patients and they have rebuffed us."
But Andre Butler has lived at the nursing home for a year and as president of resident counsel, he makes sure that patients are safe, including the alleged victim.
"When it comes to the Daytona Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center, he (Chief Chitwood) is making a real bad call," says Butler. "She never had a male CNA on her because her daughter made sure of that. She was taken care of by a female CNA."
The nursing home has been fined four times by the AHCA since 2005, according to records. Just this year, they were fined $16,000 for failure to give adequate and appropriate health care.
In 2007, they were fined $2,500 for failure to follow physicians orders. A nurse made a medication error and gave a resident medication meant for another patient.
But Butler says everyone gets treated well.
"I wish Mr. Chitwood would stop making false allegations saying we aren't safe, we are." he said.
Police say it's up to the nursing home to prove they are safe.
"It's absolutely disgusting and shocks the senses that in this day and age, a 75-year-old woman entrusted in their care ends up with a STD and that they won't cooperate to find out how this happened," Chitwood said.
The State Attorney's Office tells Local 6 they are investigating along with the Daytona Beach Police Department, but won't comment further because it's an active investigation.

CHICAGO -- It's back to the waiting game for all interested in Antti Niemi's arbitration hearing, which took place Thursday morning in Toronto.
Both Niemi's side and the Chicago Blackhawks made their arguments before an arbitrator, then left still wondering what the next course of action will be. It's all dependent on what salary figure the arbitrator decides for the 26-year-old Niemi, a restricted free agent who started every playoff game in Chicago's run to its first Stanley Cup in 49 years.
If the figure is low enough, Hawks GM Stan Bowman said he will squeeze Niemi onto the payroll without sacrificing too much more from the team that finally brought the Cup back to Chicago. If it's too high, the Hawks could walk away from the awarded amount and make Niemi an unrestricted free agent or accept it and trade him in order to stay under the League's hard salary cap of $59.4 million for the coming season.
"Our situation is tight," Bowman said during a teleconference call on Thursday evening. "Depending on where (the award) is, that's going to kind of drive the boat here."
Bowman would love to have Niemi back in a Hawks sweater, but he realized that might not happen. Niemi is now a Stanley Cup winning goaltender, which could easily mean a higher salary awarded than the Hawks can afford while still fielding a full roster under the cap.
"Of course it would be a loss, but the nature of sports is that change does happen," Bowman said. "My job is to try and find a way to make things work if that's a necessity. You kind of have to embrace change and realize it's an opportunity for somebody else."
No matter what figure the arbitrator decides, Niemi stands to earn a lot more than the roughly $800,000 he made last season. Still, that's not much consolation for not reaching a deal before the hearing. That fact apparently doesn't sit well with Niemi nor those in his camp.
"He's disappointed he has to go through this," Niemi's agent Bill Zito told NHL.com on Thursday evening. "It's been very difficult for him. But with that said, we asked for it. When you file for arbitration, you have to live with the consequences. We just hoped it wouldn't get to this point."
Niemi flew five hours from Finland on Wednesday to attend the hearing and then flew back, with a stopover in Germany, on Thursday afternoon. Zito said he didn't have a good feeling when leaving the hearing, but not because he fears the decision going in favor of the Hawks.
"I just felt bad for Antti Niemi," said Zito, who, like Bowman, described the proceedings as civil and professional. "It's a difficult process. It's just hard on him. It's like, 'It's got to go to arbitration when no one else (on the Hawks) does?'"
The arbitrator told the two sides to expect a decision on Saturday, but could also ask for an extension -- as she did in a separate case on Thursday morning. So, the waiting game could go even longer.
The Hawks also have cheaper in-house options in 25-year old Corey Crawford and 26-year-old Hannu Toivonen. Still, Bowman is not tipping his hand until an amount is awarded.
"We're planning for lots of different scenarios," he said. "I don't know that we're weighing any one (option) more than any other."
Bowman again cited the team's tight payroll as the main problem in not only keeping Niemi, but all the regular contributors shipped away this offseason. That problem was exacerbated by performance bonuses totaling roughly $4 million that must be counted toward the coming season's cap -- and by an unexpected San Jose offer sheet the Hawks matched for young defenseman Niklas Hjalmarrson worth $2.5 million a season.
"We have a structure that we have to work within," Bowman said. "Depending on where (Niemi's arbitration award) comes in, it's going to dictate what we have to do. There are numbers that we have in mind which would make it (easier) to fit (Niemi) in."
Niemi's side, however, isn't buying that as an excuse for the deal not getting done.
"I would have thought it would have gotten done anyway," Zito said.

In the fall semester, ZEDH Studio students worked in teams to research demographics, select a site within the city of Atlanta and design a specific housing typology, all while focusing on the larger goals of sustainability, compact housing, and zero energy design.
In the current spring semester, each student has drilled down to concentrate on the interior development of the housing types proposed last semester. Each student has designed a residence for a target client of his/her choosing, with a goal to maximize the function of the interior spaces by utilizing the research and efficient interior design principles discussed during the fall and spring semester.
This competition addresses the interior development portion of the studio.
The winner of the competition will be flown to Los Angeles for the 2014 Dwell on Design show (show dates June 20-22). Travel dates to be confirmed based on the winner's availability. The winning project will be highlighted in the Georgia Tech booth on the show floor, and will be discussed in the presentation and panel discussion, scheduled for Saturday, June 21.

Just a quick head's up to the RTS/RPG fans out there that Paradox Interactive and Neocore Games today announced the official release of the dark fantasy title King Arthur II: The Role-playing Wargame, which is now available in English on PC for $39.99 both physical and digital download form. Check out the official launch trailer above along with a description of the game below:
King Arthur II – The Role-playing Wargame features a new and dark fantasy setting. No longer a valiant ruler, King Arthur has become the Maimed King, trying to mend a land that lies almost beyond repair in this stunning new plot. More heroic, large-scale battles with bigger armies are now at the player's disposal, with both strategic brilliance and bravery required to defeat the powerful foes that players will encounter on their quest to restore Britannia.
If you're not completely sold on the game based on the description and launch trailer (or relatively low price point for that matter), you can always try out a demo of the game or hit up its official website to see if it's worth getting all worked up about. Also, while today's release is only the English version of the game, Paradox promises that other language versions will follow soon. Anyone here plan on checking this out?

FanlessTech Shows Gigantic, Unreleased Heatsinks
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 19, 2014 - 04:52 PM | Scott Michaud
There are many interesting ways to pull heat away from a processor. You can submerge your device in mineral oil or even phase-change fluid (such as "Novec"). You can push cool fluid up to the thing that you are trying to remove heat from and then pump it away through a radiator. If using air, you can make use of vapor chambers and the convection current formed as devices heat up. The goal is to abuse one or more interesting material properties to store energy and move it somewhere else.

Or you can just have an obscene, gigantic mass of metal with more fins than the NHL. According to FanlessTech, these are three heatsinks that are not yet available (and may never be). Two of them have three towers, connected to the base by heat pipes, and the last one has four.
Image Credit: ExtraHardware.cz
Personally, I would be a bit uncomfortable about buying a PC like that unless I needed absolutely silent or top air cooling performance. The amount that it hangs over RAM or nuzzles against add-in boards seems sketchy to me, especially if you need to swap a DIMM or two at some point, but I always use stock coolers at reference voltage and frequency so what do I know?
Image Credit: PConline.com.cn
Yes, that would be a regular, ATX motherboard.
When will these prototypes become available? Who knows if they even will. Still, if you have a need for cooling solutions that are a little over-the-top, you might be able to get your hands on these some day. There's nothing wrong with adding more mass and surface area, rather than doing something fancy. It works, and it probably works really well.
Did you know XFX makes enclosures too?
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 16, 2014 - 06:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xfx, Series Bravo, Type-01
XFX has expanded into the enclosure market with a case priced to take on big names like Corsair and Thermaltake. It is visually unique on the outside, especially with there watercooling grommets which are designed differently than you see on other cases. The Type-01 is fairly large, 518 x 232 x 562mm (26.6 x 13 x 22.2") and can hold up to eleven 2.5/3.5" drives of which five can be reconfigure to only fit 2.5" drives which will increase the maximum allowable length of your GPU to 14" from a mere 12". The Tech Report appreciated the design of the front power and reset buttons, as they are socketed you can remove the front panel without having wires still connecting it to the case. There are many things to like about this case especially if you are using air cooling but there is one caveat, this case will not support 240mm radiators so be forewarned if that was your plan. Check out the whole review to see the other features XFX added to this case.
"The Type-01 Series Bravo Edition is XFX's first entry into the PC enclosure market. Priced at $129.99, this stylish enclosure faces some fierce competition, most notably from Corsair's Obsidian Series 450D. We've put the Bravo through its paces to see if it's a worthy contender."

Aerocool Launches Colorful and Practical Xpredator Cube Chassis
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 15, 2014 - 12:49 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF case, SFF, mini ITX, micro ATX, aerocool
A Taiwanese company called Aerocool Advanced Technologies (with a US disivision known as Aerocool US) recently unboxed a cube-shaped computer case that is both colorful and practical. The new Xpredator Cube joins the existing Xpredator lineup as a small form factor (micro ATX or mini ITX) option that comes in Red, Black, Orange, White, and Green color options for $125.90.
Measuring 280x418x412mm, the Xpredator Cube has a futuristic design with lots of sharp angles. Large "shell like" adjustable vents align along the top of the case along with a storage compartment and the front Io panel. The front of the case is dominated by a large mesh intake vent with angled sides and a single 5.25" bay. The left side features a side panel window that shows off the top half of the case (motherboard area).
Front IO on the Xpredator Cube includes two USB 3.0 ports, two audio jacks, a power button, and two fan speed dials for the built in fan controller (maximum of 15W per channel).
The aesthetics are welcome, but the internals are where the small form factor cube shines. The new Xpredator series case is divided into two main compartments. A horizontal divider holds the horizontally mounted removable motherboard tray. The tray matches the external color of the case while the rest of the case internals (minus the tool-less drive rails) is black. It features a CPU cutout and multiple rubber grommets to facilitate cable routing. The case has four exposed PCI slots that can support graphics cards up to 320mm in length (or 345mm with the front case fan removed). The case can accommodate tower coolers up to 187mm tall or an internally mounted water cooling radiator up to 280mm (sans optical drive). Alternatively, the case has two water cooling grommets to support a larger external radiator.
Bundled cooling include a 200mm front intake fan (800 RPM, 53.4 CFM, 26.5dBA) and a single 140mm exhaust fan (1200 RPM, 5948 CFM, 27.6 dBA). From there, users can add up three additional 140mm fans. The top of the case has angled vents that can be opened or closed with a slider on the left edge.
The bottom half of the case has space for a vertically mounted power supply and a tool-less hard drive bay that can hold three 3.5" or 2.5" drives. The case has a vent on the right side of the case for the power supply fan along with a removable magnetic dust filter. In addition to the hard drive bay, users can fit two 2.5" solid state drives under the 5.25" bay.
Aerocool further includes rubber pads for the power supply and hard drives to reduce shock which is nice considering the LAN party readiness of this case.
The new case was not available for purchase at the time of writing, but it should be for sale soon with a MSRP of $125.90.
The Aerocool Xpredator Cube looks to be a nice looking, easy to build in case. I'm looking forward to the full reviews of course, but if it holds up to the specifications it should be a popular small form factor option!
Introduction and Features
Corsair recently released three new HXi Series Fully Modular power supplies: the HX1000i, HX850i, and the HX750i. All three power supplies are 80 Plus Platinum certified and support the Corsair Link digital interface. Corsair continues to offer a full line of high quality power supplies, memory components, cases, cooling components, SSDs and accessories to market for the PC enthusiast and professional alike. In this review we will be taking a detailed look at the HXi Series 1000W fully modular power supply.
All three of the new Corsair HXi Series power supplies are optimized for silence and high efficiency. Zero RPM fan mode means the fan doesn't spin until the PSU is under heavy load, and the fan itself is custom-designed by Corsair for low noise operation even at high loads. Flat ribbon-style black cables are fully modular to facilitate fast, clean builds.
The Corsair HXi Series is built with high-quality components, including all Japanese electrolytic capacitors, and is guaranteed to deliver clean, stable, continuous power, even at ambient temperatures as high as 50°C. HXi Series users can also install Corsair Link software to monitor power usage, efficiency, and fan speed.
80 Plus Platinum: High Efficiency – Low Heat HXi Series PSUs are 80 Plus Platinum certified, making them among the most efficient on the market. With efficiency of at least 92% at 50% load, your PC will remain cool and quiet, potentially saving money in the process.
Corsair Link Ready While the HXi is an analog power supply, it features a built in analog to digital bridge to communicate vital information to the Corsair Link software via USB. This allows the user to monitor and log fan speed, current and voltage of the +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails, monitor power out, display power in and efficiency, and enable/disable OCP on the +12V rails.
Zero RPM Fan Mode offers silent operation at low to moderate loads. Thanks to a highly efficient design, the HXi Series power supplies generate minimal heat and are able to operate in a silent, zero RPM Fan Mode for up to 40% of the PSU's maximum load (at 25°C room temperature). This means the HXi power supply can be completely silent while the PC is performing less intensive tasks. As the load and temperatures rise within the PSU, the thermally controlled fan gradually spins up for quiet operation even during more demanding computing.
Optimized for Low Noise Corsair continues to branch out beyond memory and power supplies and is paying close attention to fans and their applications. Within a PSU, the most important feature of a fan is high static pressure, allowing the fan to push air through the relatively high density of components. The NR135P intake fan was specifically designed to move more air through the power supply components with less noise. Fan blades are properly balanced to prevent resonance at higher RPMs and the fan features fluid dynamic bearings for quiet operation and long life.
In addition to the specially designed Corsair cooling fan the components on the HXi Series PCB are laid out to allow air to easily flow between them. The HXi PSUs also include fully modular cables made flat for easy installation and reduced airflow resistance.
Corsair HX1000i PSU Features summary:
• 1,000W continuous DC output (up to 50°C)
• 7-Year Warranty and Comprehensive Customer Support
• 80 PLUS Platinum certified, at least 92% efficiency under 50% load
• Corsair Link ready for real-time monitoring and control
• Fully modular cables for easy installation
• Flat ribbon-style, low profile cables help optimize airflow
• Zero RPM Fan Mode for silent operation up to 40% load
• Quiet fluid dynamic fan bearing for long life and quiet operation
• High quality components including all Japanese electrolytic capacitors
• Active Power Factor correction (0.99) with Universal AC input
• Safety Protections : OCP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OTP, and OPP
• MSRP for the HX100i : $229.99 USD

Seasonic's Platinum 1050 beats everything but its predecessor
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 7, 2014 - 05:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: seasonic, Platinum-1050, modular psu, kilowatt, hybrid silent fan, 80 Plus Platinum
Lee just wrapped up a review of Seasonic's 1050 and 1200W Platinum PSU's but why not revisit the powerful 1050W PSU in [H]ard|OCP's latest PSU review. Their testing methodology differs from Lee's as does the hardware used to test it. This way you get even more information about how this PSU functions under differing conditions and you will be more informed about your possible purchase. Reading the whole review is the best way to fully understand this fully modular PSU's strengths but if you insist on skipping to the conclusion then this PSU is both better than the competition and less expensive. The only constructive criticism that [H] could offer was that it does not really improve in any major way over Seasonic's previouslt released 1000W PSU.
"Seasonic is one of our long-time favorites when it comes to truly high-end power supplies. The new PLATINUM-1050 PSU claims to deliver excellent power efficiency and does so with a fully modular design. Seasonic is often known designing products with excellent sound profiles. Does the PLATINUM-1050 fit the profile?"

As a flagship solution, the Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler has most of the nice to haves to find on top-end coolers from other manufactures - copper base plate and heat pipes, nickel plating on all copper surfaces, thick dual radiator construction, dual fans, and a massive amount of heat pipes to wick the heat away from the CPU surface as fast as possible. be quiet! developed the cooler using dual fans, a 120mm front fan and a 135mm inner fan. Heat is transfered from the copper base plate to the dual aluminum radiators by a dense array of seven copper heat pipes. All surfaces are nickel coated for corrosion protection and scratch resistance with the nickel plating black colored to give the cooler a sleek and menacing appearance.

Thermaltake's Core V51 offers a lot of choice to the system builder
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 6, 2014 - 06:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: thermaltake, Core V51, air cooling, water cooling
The Thermaltake Core V51 Mid-Tower does not have a flashy exterior but the simple aesthetics should appeal to certain segments of the population. At 540 x 236 x 560mm (21 x 9 x 22") it is smaller than many of the cases we have seen released to the market but still has room for an eATX board inside as well as a Morry sized cooler. The cooling design is quite flexible, in several places you can choose to mount multiple 120/140mm fans or a single monstrous 200mm if you possess one; those who prefer watercooling are able to place 420mm rads in two places or smaller ones in numerous other places. [H]ard|OCP loved the performance and flexibilty of this case, as well as the $110 asking price, which together were enough to win a coveted Gold Award.
"Thermaltake has some very lofty goals set for its new mid-tower case. Its primary goal is to deliver outstanding cooling performance which is always high on our priority list as well. Form and function both seem to be well served in this new Core V51 model as its performance profile is not hard on the eyes."

Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver. 2 Heatsink Released
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 2, 2014 - 05:25 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: hyper 612, heatsink, fanless, cooler master, cooler
The Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver. 2 CPU cooler is a member of their "Hyper Series", upper-mainstream product lineup. It looks to be one of the (if not the) biggest offerings in that category. Its extreme dimensions are 139mm (5.47") in length by 102mm (4.02") wide, with a height of 160.4mm (6.32"). It has a 120mm fan which basically takes up a whole side and slowly blows air across it. Some sites claim that it can be used fanless with some (but not every) CPU.
Cooler Master is particularly proud of their "Continuous Direct Contact" technology. In other words, the heat pipes are flattened into a contact with the CPU's heatspreader (or die guard for people like Morry). This eliminates a reservoir of heat before the copper pipes can carry it to the aluminum fins and out into the air.
The heatsink is now available, but no pricing information yet (I cannot find it online).
Introduction and Features
Today we have a double header for your reading enjoyment. Not one, but two Platinum Series power supplies from Seasonic. The two latest additions to Seasonic's flagship product line are the Platinum 1050W and Platinum 1200W PSUs. The power supplies feature tight voltage regulation (±1~2%), quiet operation (fanless mode), and high efficiency (80Plus Platinum certified). Both PSUs are fully modular and come backed by a 7-year warranty.
Seasonic is a well known and highly respected OEM that produces some of the best PC power supplies on the market today. In addition to supplying power supplies to many big-name companies who re-brand the units with their own name, Seasonic also sells a full line of power supplies under the Seasonic name. Both new power supplies feature an improved Hybrid Fan control circuit and upgraded copper conduction bars on the main PCB, which together help increase efficiency and performance.
Seasonic Platinum 1050W & 1200W Special Features
Ultra Tight Voltage Regulation Improved load voltage regulation keeps the voltage fluctuations on the 12V output within +2% and -0% (no negative tolerance), and on the 3.3V and 5V outputs between +1% and -1%, which (under 80 Plus load conditions) results in smooth and stable operation.
Seasonic Hybrid Silent Fan Control The industry first, advanced three-phased thermal control balances between silence and cooling. The Hybrid Silent Fan Control provides three operational stages: Fanless, Silent and Cooling Mode. In addition, a selector switch is provided to allow for manual selection between the Seasonic S2FC (fan control without Fanless Mode) or S3FC (fan control including Fanless Mode).
Reduced Cooling Fan Hysteresis is achieved by a new fan control IC, which optimizes how frequently the fan switches on and off. At 25°C ambient temperature the fan turns on when the load rises above 30% (±5%) and turns off when the load drops below 20% % (±5%). Due to this lag in response the fan switches on and off less frequently, which reduces power loss in Fanless and Silent Mode.
Dual Copper Conduction Bars on the power supply PCB help reduce impedance and minimize voltage drop, which further improves efficiency and performance.
80Plus Platinum The Platinum 1050W & 1200W power supplies are certified in accordance to the 80PLUS organization's Platinum standards, offering performance and energy savings with up to ≥92% efficiency and a true power factor of greater than 0.9 PF.
Full Modular Design (DC to DC) The Seasonic Platinum Series power supplies feature an integrated DC connector panel with onboard VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) that enables not only near perfect DC-to-DC conversion with reduction of current loss/impedance and increase of efficiency but also a fully modular DC cabling that enables maximum flexibility of integration and forward compatibility.
Seasonic Platinum Series 1050W & 1200W PSU Key Features:
• 80Plus Platinum certified super high efficiency
• Ultra tight voltage regulation
• Fully Modular Cable design with flat ribbon-style cables
• Seasonic DC Connector Panel with integrated VRMs
• DC to DC Converter design
• Hybrid Silent Fan Control (3 modes of operation: Fanless, Silent and Cooling)

Tagged: noctua, water
The colours of the Noctua Industrial PPC family of fans are familiar but these 8 fans have some serious tricks up their sleeves. While most fans focus on the amount of air they can move and how quietly they can manage that feat these fans are also rated on how harsh the conditions can be while they can maintain full functionality. For instance the IP67 fans will operate perfectly even when submerged in water to a depth of 1m and provide complete protection against dust if used in air. While it is unlikely your computer will function when submerged there are builds which could take advantage of the ability to move water around. Generally these fans are intended for use cooling systems that reside in industrial plants and other harsh conditions but it is nice to know you can pick up fans specifically designed to operate in very dusty or wet environments. Check out the review at Modders Inc if the idea of having a ruggedized cooling system appeals to you.
"The Noctua Industrial PPC line packaging is similarly Spartan like the new Noctua Redux line, packed without extras such as adapters, splitters and alternate mounting options but comes with a 4-piece screw mounting kit."

By Kelly Bertrand on 11th October 2013, in Celebrity, Kiwi celebrities, Weekly People, Your Stories
Standing at the summit of Auckland's Mt Eden between two elite athletes, Breakfast reporter Nadine Chalmers-Ross frowns.
"Do I have to be in Lycra next to these two?" she laughs, pointing at Black Stick Gemma Flynn and Olympic cyclist Alison Shanks.
But, as she points out, her willingness to don sportswear alongside some of New Zealand's top athletes is for a cause too close to her heart to ignore.
Nadine, Gemma and Alison are putting their bodies – and quite possibly their pride – on the line for the ANZA challenge, a five-day race around New Zealand and a 10km run against a team of Australian celebrities and athletes, starting October 15.
"It's the Kiwis versus the Aussies – it doesn't get much bigger than that," says Gemma.
"I love going up against Australia. It's part of our national identity – and we're definitely racing for pride!"
Gemma and Alison are gearing up for the gruelling five-day race, which is in aid of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation.
They will link up with other athletes and sporting personalities – including former All Black Marc Ellis, The Crowd Goes Wild presenter James McOnie and Olympic rower Nathan Cohen – cycling, sailing, rowing and running their way around the country.
Nadine is joining the team for the last challenge – a 10km run at Auckland Domain, where members of the public are invited to race.
"I feel like a fraud, though," she says. "I'm not going from one end of the country to the other, by any stretch of the imagination."
"The 10km will feel like a marathon by the time the week finishes!" replies Alison.
While she and Gemma are nervous about different aspects of the race, all Nadine is worried about is staying upright. "I'm scared about the rowing, I don't use my upper body!" Alison grimaces, while Gemma tells Alison she'll have to pick up the slack on the bike.
"I'm quite injury-prone, and get a lot of stick from my workmates," Nadine says wryly, pointing out the three bones she's broken over the last 18 months – one she hurt while putting out the recycling.
But her Breakfast colleagues – Toni Street, Rawdon Christie and Sam Wallace – might be closer to the action than they think, with Nadine planning a recruitment drive in the TVNZ newsroom.
"I'll see if I can get Toni along, and Sam's a pretty good sportsman and he's always keen.
"But Rawdon's wife is the runner in the family!"

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Rams clinch winning season over SOSU
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Angelo State University football team defeated Southeastern Oklahoma State 42-30 Saturday in Durant, Okla., clinching its first winning season since 2005 and staying in the chase for the Lone Star Conference championship and an NCAA Division II playoff berth.
ASU improved to 6-2 overall and 5-2 in the LSC. SOSU fell to 5-3 and 3-3.
Calvin Fance had five of ASU's seven sacks on the day and quarterback Josh Neiswander passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns as the Rams defeated the Savage Storm for just the second time in the six-game history between the two teams.
The Rams scored first as V'Keon Lacey caught an 11-yard pass from Josh Neiswander to give ASU a 7-0 lead with 12:53 left in the first quarter after the PAT. Just over four minutes later, Dakarai Pecikonis caught a screen pass and took ti 81 yards for a touchdown to give ASU a 14-0 lead after the PAT with 8:34 to go in the first quarter.
Before the end of the first period, SOSU scored to make it 14-6.
ASU increased its lead early in the second quarter. With 13:02 left in the first half, Austin Benson scored from three yards out to make it 21-6 after the PAT. A field goal by the Savage Storm cut the ASU lead to 21-9 with 11:28 to go in the second quarter.
The Rams went ahead 28-9 on a 9-yard run by Dwight Pete with 4:55 left in the first half. SOSU answered with a 47-yard scoring apss with 2:50 to go to make it 28-16 at halftime.
ASU scored the only touchdown of the third quarter on a 3-yard pass from Neiswander to Lacey that gave the Rams a 35-16 lead with 9:33 to go in the period.
SOSU scored with 13:15 left in the game to cut the ASU lead to 35-23. The Rams answered with a 3-yard run by Benson with 11:24 to go make it 42-23. The Savage Storm scored one last time, on a 39-yard pass with 5:50 remaining to make the final score 42-30.
Neiswander completed 22 of 39 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns. Pecikonis caught six passes for 156 yards and one touchdowns. Lacey caught 10 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown.
Benson led the ground attack with 15 carries for 39 yards and two touchdowns. Pete rushed eight times for 25 yards and one touchdown.
The Rams were held to just 72 rushing yards but finished with 413 total yards. The ASU defense held SOSU to 381 total yards, just 34 on the ground.
ASU will be back in action next Saturday when they travel to Canyon to face West Texas A&M. The Buffs upset No. 1 Abilene Christian 32-21 Saturday in Abilene.

A 7-year-old boy has been accused of sexual harassment after punching a fellow first-grader in the groin, but the boy's mother says he was acting in self-defense. Tasha Lynch said her son was being choked on a school bus, and has been afraid to go back to school in South Boston ever since. "I think my kid was right to fight back [after he was choked],'' she said. "He wasn't doing anything except protecting himself.'' A spokesman for the Boston public schools confirmed the incident had been classified as possible sexual harassment, but declined to comment it.Read more »

• What: Celebrate Service Music Festival
• When: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday
• Where: Town Center Park, 330 Town Center Ave., Suwanee
• For more information: Visit www.amigosforchri...
SUWANEE -- On Saturday, Amigos for Christ, a local charity based out of Buford, presents the Celebrate Service Music Festival at Suwanee Town Center Park from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
After 13 years of serving and aiding the poor, Amigos for Christ continues to honor and promote volunteerism in the community.
The event will be raising money and creating awareness for a two-fold purpose: First, for the need for clean water in Chinendaga, Nicaragua, and second, for the eradication of hunger in local Gwinnett communities.
Suzanne Holtkamp, an owner of Holtkamp Heating and Air, has united with Amigos for Christ to promote her company's mission to raise 10 tons of food in 12 months. The festival asks visitors to bring non-perishable food items to donate for this Gwinnett CAN Challenge.
"At first it seems these two purposes are not related, but they are actually very related," Holtkamp said. "Amigos for Christ received such support here in Gwinnett that they wanted to give back this year. The way they want to give back is by helping to fill the local food banks."
The Celebrate Service Music Festival will include a fun-filled day of music, kids' games, food and eight organized events. A 5K run will begin at 9 a.m. with a $20 registration required. There will also be a 30-mile bike ride, a soccer-shootout, a corn-hole tournament, a dessert bake-off and an ultimate Frisbee tournament. Throughout the day five speakers and 11 bands, including headliner Atlanta Rhythm Section, will provide entertainment.
"All the money raised from these events goes toward laying 25 miles of water-drinking pipe in Nicaragua," Holtkamp said.
LongHorn Steakhouse, Chick-fil-A, Shane's Rib Shack and many other vendors will be dishing out great culinary meals and treats. Near the water fountain area kids' inflatable paradise will await.
John Bland, Director of Amigos for Christ, stated online, "We're expecting thousands of people in the park on Saturday. The resulting effect for both Gwinnett and Nicaragua will be huge. And it doesn't hurt that we can jam out too!"
Atlanta Rhythm Section will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. It is recommended for attendees to claim their free seats to the concert early.

So So Light!
By Heidi
from Thornhill, Ontario
These shoes are so light weight and comfortable at the sole you barely feel anything! I normally wear a size 8 or 8.5, so I ordered an 8.5 to be sure but they wear bigger than I expected, so I'm suggesting you to go with a smaller size specially if you have a narrow feet. Also be aware that your feet will get hot and sweaty in them, it's not a good idea to wear them on a very hot day!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Who's watching the Orders
By KitKat13
from Hamilton
I bought this product while on sale & was pleased I read reviews. I sized up a size b/c ppl stated they were a small make. True to reviews, I was glad I ordered a size 11 instead of my normal size 10. Shoes are very comfortable. I did have a huge problem with inserts inside of shoes, one was proper size for shoe, the second one was two sizes to small!! So who monitors these items when being shipped out.? I called to see about exchange & found out since it was a sale item , no exchanges or money back...I should have been informed about this when ordering. Not impressed with Customer Service. I gave 3 Stars b/c of inserts being wrong size (one of them) & Customer Service not providing proper information when order was placed. I love Tony Little products & will buy again.

Nice shoes
By Kezia
from Edmonton
Am giving it one star less because the in soles come off when you take the shoes if not these shoes are a beauty. They are comfortable though sometimes could get hot in them.but overall I love them.
Takes breaking in. Feather light and comfy.
By Rosie
from Ontario
When I first tried these shoes on they were so tight and the inner stitching on the elastic band was irritating. I was so disappointed since they were on final sale and I couldn't even return them. However,the next day (in desperation) I tried them on again. They were snug at first but very quickly they became more comfortable. In fact I've been wearing them every day since. The insole is super comfortable. They do come out easily but I just hold it in place with my thumb as I take my shoes off and they're fine. In the end they are decent shoes but would only buy them at sale price.
Terrific shoes!
By Boomazoom
from REGINA
Not sure why others are complaining as I have foot issues as well as two knee replacements and I wear these shoes on a daily basis. Yes when you take them off the insole do tend to come out but easily slip back in. They are not hot. They are so comfortable, almost feel like you are wearing a pair of your favourite slippers. Love the heel cup that cradles the back of your heel without leaving blisters and you don't have to break this shoe in, it is comfortable from day one! I have several pairs in different colours, just wished I had waited for the clearance pricing!! Thanks Tony for another great product, even my GP thinks you're terrific!
Not as Happy with them as other Tony Little I have bought
By Donna the Shopper
from Kingston, Ontario
I got the shoes and expected them to be as comfy as a previous pair of Tony Little shoes I had ordered. The foam insole seems to bunch up and feel lumpy when you wear them. They were very tight across my instep but seems they are loosening up now after some wear. I luckily got these very cheap so I am keeping them but wouldn't purchase another pair.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
not for anyone with high arches
By bvy15
from BC
Had to take the extra thick insoles out, but found they work perfectly in the incline trainers. I wasn't aware that I had high arches, took a pair of shoes made in China to point that out. I am wearing the shoes right now without any insole and the fit is still to tight on the top of the foot. Hoping with wear the elastic on the top of the shoe will loosen up. Never had any issue with shoes from Tony Little before, that is why I tried these.
Very comfortable and light
By Mooka
from Toronto
The first I found them a bit tight but after a couple of twears, they become more comfortable .. The only thing I didn't like is their consol kept coming out everytime I remove them. But for the price are really excellent for everyday wear.
By ToCo
from Winnipeg
These are so comfortable and light. A great walking shoe as I just went for a 40 minutes walk with the dogs. I love everything about them except that the insole does slide out when you remove your shoes. Other than that I would definitely purchase again
great runabouts!
By Dede
from PEI
I really like these slipon walking shoes they are comfortable and a nice look.I ordered both the tan and black.The only reason for the four stars is that they are quite warm and the insoles do come out when slipping them off.All in all I consider them a good buy and would recommend them.

Non-native speakers of English must demonstrate that their command of the English language is adequate to engage in graduate coursework.
Demonstration of command of the language can be provided by submitting official IELTS or TOEFL exam scores.*
Information about IELTS and TOEFL is available online.
Use the following address to have official IELTS test scores sent to NIU:
The Graduate School
223 Adams Hall, NIU
DeKalb, IL 60115.
For the TOEFL, use the institution code 1559, and use ETS resources to determine the appropriate departmental code. NIU considers tests of English language to be valid for two years.
The Graduate School has established minimum scores on the IELTS and TOEFL for admission purposes. Some departments or programs may require higher scores on the examination. Other departments (for example, the Department of Communications) require the Test of Spoken English for admission purposes.
Non-native speakers of English, who are admitted on the basis of IELTS or TOEFL scores that do not meet established competency thresholds, may be required to take on campus one or more English as a Second Language courses, while pursuing their degree. Notification of the requirement will be mailed to applicants after their admission. Typically the letter is enclosed in the packet containing the I20. Upon arrival at NIU, admitted students, who are required to take such courses, may challenge the requirement by passing a series of examinations.

*NIU accepts either IELTS or TOEFL scores. Test-takers in India and China should be aware that Educational Testing Services (ETS) has lately begun routinely canceling TOEFL scores submitted by students in those countries because of widespread testing irregularities. Students admitted, in part, on the basis of canceled scores jeopardize their admission and non-immigrant status. Consequently, until ETS demonstrates better control over its test administration centers, test-takers in India and China may want to consider submitting IELTS scores.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses the Pharmaceuticals, including Vertex Pharma (Nasdaq: VRTX), AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN), Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT), Allergan (NYSE: AGN) and Onyx Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ONXX).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101027/ZIRLOGO)
A synopsis of today's Industry Outlook is presented below. The full article can be read at http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/61553/Pharmaceuticals+Stock+Outlook+-+Sept.+2011
Emerging markets are slowly and steadily gaining in importance, and several companies are now shifting their focus to these areas. Emerging markets should see strong sales thanks to increased demand for medicines. Several factors like government initiatives for healthcare, new patient population, and increasing use of generics should help drive demand. Growth in emerging markets could help stabilize the base business during the industry's 2010-15 patent cliff.
According to the IMS Institute, spending on medicines in emerging markets will double to $285-$315 billion in the next five years from $151 billion in 2010, driven by strong economic growth coupled with endeavors of concerned governments to expand access to healthcare. This will catapult "pharmerging" markets to the second position by 2015 where spending on medicines is concerned.
Branded Drugs Market Share to Decline
According to the IMS Institute, market share for branded drugs will continue declining over the next five years.
