Can an entire city have knee surgery?
The civic joint pain was tangible Wednesday as Washington fixated on the Florida operating room where quarterback Robert Griffin III was having his right knee rebuilt. From firehouses to park benches, on the streets and in their tweets, the unexpectedly swift and extensive operation had fans worrying, praying ... and talking, talking, talking.

Intel Cuts i7 950 Price In Half
"The Core i7 950 essentially becomes the 930's successor."
Published: 27th August 2010 | Source: Hexus |
Everyone likes price cuts, especially ones that make higher-end components more viable. This is exactly what is happening with Intel's Core i7 950 processor, with its price getting cut in half.
Up until now, the 950 has generally been seen as a pointless chip. The processor has been retailing at most shops for the same price as the faster 960. In fact, at some e-tailers it has been costing even more. With this upcoming price cut down to $294, it has morphed into the 930's successor, essentially rendering several processors in this price category obselete.
This new price cut is expected to go effective on either Sunday or Monday. While most stores are holding with the current price for now, OverclockersUK has already put up a pre-order page for £234.99, with an estimated ship date at the end of the month. According to Neoseeker, we could be seeing some cuts for the i5 760, i3 560, and some of Intel's lower-end E-series processors in the near future as well.

The whole broadband to the masses was I believe a previous government policy and still is with the new coalition government.
Obviously in the economic climate we are in at the moment and the Bank of England today sating growth will be less than previously expected, i find it hard to believe investment from government and the broadband providers will increase until things are more stable.
There's a link to investment which is quite interesting reading - just cut the bull from the politicians out and you get an understanding.
I too grew up in rural areas - blimey i remember moaning when we didnt has Gas! Just have to accept the fact your not stuck in a town with crime and poverty and be blessed with the fact you have a nice environment to live in.
We will never break B T's monopoly on the service provision they have, even ofgem cant!
Could always hire one of these
It just makes me sick. When I lived in the USA I lived on a 25 acre farm in a 15 sq m area with nothing but similar farms and properties. Yet, all of them had cable. I got 10m cable internet there and it was awesome.
However here we are on this tiny island that the Yanks could wire out in six months using 60 year old phone lines for our broadband.
So on the surface I am getting 7m + ADSL on a BT line. Sadly I can't use it for anything at all. And the bit that chaps my asshole the most is that nothing seems to be any faster because of course, it won't be. Web pages still load at the same speed and nothing is any different at all.
It's like renting some one a Ferrari and them paying £4k a month. Upon getting in it they realise that some c u next tuesday has welded a block of metal to the floor so the throttle only goes down 1/3 of the way.
I can't believe they're allowed to get away with it tbh.
If you look at your exchange on samknows, are there no providers listed as LLU? BT were court ordered to open up the exchanges to other companies hardware, if any of them have enough customers on that exchange they often put their own ADSL2+ gear in there.
Unless I read the last part of your post wrong that is, which is quite likely.
Umm if you were downloading a file at 800k wouldn't that be very nearly right for 7mb/s? Well it would be more like 6.2 but still pretty close.
Unless I read the last part of your post wrong that is, which is quite likely.
Yes it would be right if the sites were not blocked. I did some pokery testing tonight. I got 780k a sec from EA (I finally got NFS Shift working !) 380k from Hotfile (bastards haven't sussed that one yet) 4k from Rapidshare (and yes, I mainly use that for legal purpose) and nothing from Megaupload at all.
Torrents are now capped at 20k and Steam is capped at around 100.
As I said in my first post, what O2 (and I'm pretty sure it is just O2) have done is throttle the crap out of anything downloadable to butter up their figures and make their internet look fast on a crappy BT non LLU line. This reduces congestion for sure, but at the same time it pretty much rules out even causing congestion in the first place.
Still, if that's their way of dealing with it fair play. I'll be off come October to pastures new. I don't like being lied to, and ISPs are the biggest lying motherf*****s on earth.
A friend of mine is a genius coder. Seriously this guy knows everything about everything. Now he was with Virgin cable the last time I spoke to him and he knew FULL WELL they were capping and traffic shaping him between certain hours. He went through every tier of customer service right up to the network admins and not one of them would admit it. Let's face it, due to his T&C on the contract he was on it would be completely illegal for them to have been capping and shaping him. Time and time again they told him it was just congestion so he coded a program to monitor. Not only did he catch them sending him empty packets to f**k up his downloads but he also noticed that at EXACTLY 11pm every night his speeds all of a sudden boosted back to normal. He confronted them with it and guess what? "It must be a faulty modem you have there, let us send you another"
So they sent him another. And another, and another, and another. In the end he thought it was so much fun he ended up going through about 15 modems. None of them fixed the 'problem' of course because the problem was that his ISP were dirty f*****g liars who did things they were not legally allowed to do.
You see, the way O2 handle it is to call your bluff. They point out that Rapidshare is used for naughty goings on and then refuse to help you with it. In other words they are simply ducking around what they are really doing and that's shaping and blocking. Which you won't find in your contract because it's not there.
I'm with a brilliant ISP - Fantastic speeds (6Mb at 2.6Km from exchange!). They have no port blockers or traffic shaping. Their support is UK based and is excellent (I've had a response time of four mintues at 11PM on a Sunday) My affiliate link can be found here: http://goto.xilo.net/x/167/ - If you don't want to use my link check out http://xilo.net/ however using my link wont affect you at all and gives me a little spare change in my account - I'd be very grateful if you used the link if you were to sign up.
Check out http://www.talktalkm...t/view/142/156/ - It will tell you if your exchange is due for LLU by TalkTalk any time soon. If it says unplanned hover over the question mark for more info. I know TalkTalk suck but XILO sell a package that uses this equipment so you'll be able to get 24Mb with a great ISP.
Also, BT don't do LLU. They install the exchange and possibly their new 21CN network for 24Mb but all the LLU is done by companies like CPW, C&W, O2 and so on.
TBH I'm either going to go with Virgin XL ASDL which is uncapped, unshaped and no fair usage for £35 or just go with Plusnet 60gb cap for £13.
It's going to be all or nothing really. Right now for my £19 I am getting the internet but nothing more, so I would rather pay £13 for that. With Virgin I will either get it all or if it is crap get out of the contract.
I would sign up but sadly it's a complete ripoff. 50gb usage cap £21.69. That's more than every one else I have looked at.

They're very expensive but they're worth it.
Rated 2nd best in the UK at the moment, usually first though.
I've heard some really bad things about Virgin ADSL too, I'd avoid them personally.
Look at some reviews on ispreview.
I stumbled upon this: http://www.smithmediagroup.co.uk
Their "flexi broadband" package is £24.95 (although they do charge a connection fee).
It is non LLU and even though you'll only get the maximum speed possible depending on your line, up to 24MB, at least they won't block any sites and they have no fair usage policy, i.e. unlimited usage!

Cheerleading is difficult to explain.
Kendall, Letcher, Moses in 2011 10th Region Basketball Hall of Fame Class
Three of the most outstanding local basketball figures in the area were named to this year's hall of fame class in the 10th region. Dr. Stephen Moses of Harrison County, Lee Kendall of Harrison County and Greg Letcher of Nicholas County are three of the newest members of this prestigious hall.
Friday night it was the Thorobreds winning with just less than two seconds left in the game and Saturday night the Fillies hit the winning basket with 10 seconds left to end the regular season on a high note.
The Thorobreds evened their record to 14-14 going into the 38th District Tournament Friday night when senior guard Eric Sanders hit a driving lay up with 1.6 seconds on the clock to give the Breds a 68-66 win over Montgomery County.
Wrestlers participating in the 2011 Kentucky Youth State Wrestling Tournament held at the Frankfort Convention Center on Sunday, Feb. 20 are: from left, Brent Hudgins, state participant in the 9-10 year old, 65-lb Division, Brady Henderson, fourth place in 9-10 year old, 60-lb Division, and Tyler Hudgins, State Champion in the 7-8 year old, 70-lb Division. All three are first year wrestlers.
The Hawks were the regular season runner-up in the Cynthiana-Harrison County Recreation Department league. The game took place Feb. 16 and the team is coached by Daryl Baxter and assistant coach David Sledd. Members of the team are, from left, Eli Marsh (14), Dylan Etienne (5), Casey Sledd (2), Riley Mullins (15), Eli Mattox (3), Sheldon Baxter (12), Brady Henderson (4).
The Frankfort Panthers won their 20th game of the year Tuesday night as they hustled past the Harrison County Thorobreds, 69-59, on the Hilltop in Cynthiana.
The win gives Frankfort a 20-8 season record while the loss dropped Harrison County to 13-14 for the year.
The Thorobreds scored the first two points of the game, which would be their only lead of the game.
The Harrison County Fillies are getting things going the right way as the district tournament gets closer to tipping off.
The Fillies lost last Wednesday to St. Patrick, but then traveled to Paris and upset the Lady Hounds on Friday and romped over the Lady Colts of West Jessamine on Saturday.
The Fillies fell victim to foul shooting in the St. Patrick game as they were whistled for 19 fouls to the Saints' nine leading to a big difference in free throw attempts.
The Region 7 wrestling meet at Dunbar Friday and Saturday decided who was to advance to the state meet this Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Frankfort.
Two of the participants are no surprise as 189 lb defending state champ Brandon Barnett and the hard-fighting 112 lb Anthony Shirley will advance to the meet at the Frankfort Convention Center.
Barnett finished undefeated for the year at 41-0 despite most teams avoiding him during the season after he returned from his ankle injury.
The seventh grade middle school Colts ended their regular season last week by winning the last two games and finishing third in the very tough Bluegrass Conference.
The seventh grade team earned the third spot by traveling to Nicholasville on Thursday and defeating the West Jessamine team, 41-31.
The Colts led by seven points at the half only to see West Jessamine rally in the third period to take a one-point lead. The Colts tightened the defense and held their opponent to three points while they were scoring 11 to post the 10-point win.
Before I get to my topic, I want to say congratulations to Dillon Pulliam.
On Saturday, playing against LaRue County, Dillon set the single game freshman scoring record for Harrison County High School when he scored 29 points to lead the Thorobreds.
Pulliam made nine three point shots, which tied the school record and another field goal to total his points. The previous freshman record was held by Tony Talbott, who scored 22 points in a game as a first year player. The three point co-record holder is Kris Reitz.

Towers of Midnight, the 13th book in the Wheel of Time series and the book before last in the saga, was a great read. As the second volume written by Brandon Sanderson after Robert Jordan's death, it benefited a lot from Sanderson's fluid writing style and the fact that all the stories are coming to their end.
The plot was interesting, too, with all three ta'veren characters doing their part, all the girls (except Nynaeve!) being involved and quite a few Forsaken as well, with interesting gimmicks the Darkfriend previously known as Luc and even a gholam!. The entire Trakand clan is represented and there are blessedly few Aiel. In this book Moiraine is found, there is some news of lovely and terrible Lanfear and someone dies (although, of course, nobody important and they die quite uselessly) while battling Aelfinn and Eelfinn, while The Final Battle approaches, with the revelation of red veilled dark Aiel?
My feeling of the book was one of discovery. Brandon Sanderson is writing this book with the enthusiasm of someone that just started work on a story (because he did!), yet with all the legacy material from Robert Jordan to build upon. No wonder the last part of the series was supposed to be just one book and resulted in three at the end. That means the story feels fresh, even if I have been reading it for the last four months. Also, it is no surprise that Sanderson could not maintain the fearful and deferential view of women that Jordan cultivated in the previous books. Oh, don't worry, they continue to meddle in all the affairs of others and their behaviour is just as erratic and irrational as before, it's just that men don't act like cowed idiots anymore and actually have a backbone. I don't know if this was supposed to happen in the original author's view, but I am willing to bet that it was not. Actually, this is one of the worse points of the story, when Elayne (the queen of Andor), Egwene (the Amyrlin seat) and Faille (Perrin's wife and princess of Saldaea) are plotting and acting like they own the world, while at the same time putting themselves in all sorts of dangers where they have to be saved by others. Of course, the others more often end up dead, but there is always some handy rationalization for behaving like an idiot. Amazingly enough, though, Cadsuane and even Moiraine are behaving quite well. The End must really be coming!
The bottom line is that I have finished reading the series. The last book won't be published until 2013, so now I am free to read other books. Yatta! I've gathered a technical book about refactoring, The Rites of Passage, by William Golding, and The Checklist Manifesto, which I hear is both instructive and interesting to read (not to mention short). So, I guess the wheel won't be turning as the wheel wants until next year. Meanwhile, you're stuck with me!

The RPS Music Awards, presented in association with BBC Radio 3, marking outstanding musical achievement in 2014 were presented at a ceremony at The Brewery in the City of London. The evening was hosted by BBC Radio 3's Sean Rafferty and Suzy Klein, with 'silver lyre' trophies presented to the winners by soprano Dame Felicity Lott.
Sir Antonio Pappano - who gave the keynote speech at the event - was presented with the RPS's highest honour, the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal. He becomes the 100th recipient since the medal was founded in 1870.
BBC Radio 3 will broadcast a special awards programme on Monday 11 May at 7.30pm.
Speaking at the awards ceremony, RPS Chairman, John Gilhooly OBE, challenged a new government to... "put the strength of imagination and the power of creativity to change lives at the very centre of decision making", making a call for government to "invest in the imaginations of our young people and promote creativity in every sphere – not just in the arts, but in science, mathematics, industry … even in political thinking." Commenting on the "fantastic" line up of RPS Music Award winners, he said: "If there was ever a reason to embrace live music making in the UK, this is it: vibrancy, adventure, surprise, excellence."

This Recess Workout Isn't Child's Play
Before you lace up your sneaks, note that this "recess" doesn't involve jungle gyms or being chased by the cute boys in class. Instead, Pelegrin leads a female-heavy class through childhood exercises like running in place, skipping, and wheelbarrows. "As kids, our only agenda was fun," she says. "We're trying to bring the fun back into movement."
Though playful elements like mimicking animal poses are present, the workout is reportedly intense and exhausting. Medicine balls are incorporated into relay races, and the drills consist of squats, lunges, and push-ups. Still, writer Julia Lawlor says she left the class feeling "spent but oddly energized," which, as far as workouts go, is pretty much as good a testimonial as any. The class is free for Reebok members or $35 for a day pass with an existing member.

Even if there had been a bit more haste in creating the new video card from Zotac, people from around the world would not have gotten the chance to buy and use it, unless they lived in one particular country.
As people must have surmised, Zotac has put together a new graphics adapter, one that won't be available everywhere.
As it happens, this information doesn't even come directly from the company, but from Expreview China.
Apparently, the new GeForce GTX 660 graphics adapter is a factory-overclocked video controller.
The extra clock speed is minor, but there will be a lot of room for further clock tweaking. In fact, Zotac has specifically designed the card with this in mind.
On that note, there are two power connectors available, one of 8 pins and one of 6. These fuel the high-grade VRM, which, in turn, enables the overclocking headroom we've mentioned.
Sadly, the leak does not specify the actual performance numbers, so we have to wait for sales to begin before we can know what the frequencies are.
On the bright side, the cooler is fairly clearly shown in the press photo, with its copper heatpipes (8 mm thick), two 99 mm fans.
The fans are particularly relevant because they spin in opposing directions, maximizing the airflow hurled at the dense aluminum fin array.
Overall, Zotac's GeForce GTX 660 Destroyer DTC (dual-traction cooling), as the product is called, sounds like a promising video board for gamers.
One might wonder why the IT player has waited so long to reveal it instead of launching it earlier in the holiday shopping season. The answer is easy enough. Rather than Christmas and the Calendar New Year day, Zotac is aiming it at the period before the Chinese Lunar New Year. That means the January-February period of 2013.

A Festive Spring Atmosphere in Charleston, S.C.
For Immediate Release, February 2012
With a legacy of decorative arts, singular architecture and passionate preservationists combined with the rich horticultural history associated with both the oldest public garden and oldest landscaped garden in America, the Charleston area is an incubator for design and style. Spring sets the stage for festivals, symposiums and special events that showcase the Lowcountry aesthetic and lifestyle.
Thousands of visitors return every spring for a sanctioned peek behind the garden gates and piazza doors of private residences with historic merit during Historic Charleston Foundation's Festival of Houses and Gardens (March 22 – April 21), which is comprised of 13 different tours. Each self-guided walking tour features eight to ten address of note staffed by trained docents who shed light on the furniture collections, artwork, heirloom silver and curios contained in each home. Charlestonians embrace this annual house tour tradition as evidenced by the more than 700 docents who volunteer for this month-long festival.
The selection of rare maps, colonial era silver, estate jewelry and museum-quality furniture on exhibition during the Charleston International Antiques Show (March 23 – 25) draws curators and collectors from around the world. This year, esteemed designer David Easton serves as special guest and keynote speaker. Easton is the author of Timeless Elegance, was inducted into the Design Hall of Fame in 1992, has twice received the Classical America's Arthur Ross Award and was included in the list of Top 100 Designers in the World published by Architectural Digest.
Another tastemaker adding cache to the Charleston area's spring festival season is Carolyne Roehm, fashion designer and prolific author of design books. Roehm will headline the annual spring luncheon hosted by the Gibbes Museum of Art (March 30), a cultural institution with more than 10,000 principally American works of fine art in its permanent collection. The luncheon will be staged in the courtyard of the museum's Beaux Arts building with event décor credited to Charlestonian Tara Guérard, named a "Top 25 Trendsetter" by Modern Bride.
Lending polish to spring soirees like the Gibbes' luncheon and the finale party for Charleston Fashion Week (March 20 - 24) is The Peninsula Collection, a new luxury lip gloss line. Created by international make-up artist Andrew Petersen, who traveled with cosmetics entrepreneur Trish McEvoy for more than 15 years, the debut collection contains five shades each bearing a distinctively Charleston name—Rainbow Row, South of Broad, On the Battery, Too Meeting and Doing the Charleston.
At the peak of the Charleston area's spring bloom season, delicate notes of Carolina Jessamine, honeysuckle and Lady Banksia rose mingle with briny Atlantic Ocean breezes. A pastel palette of azalea, camellia, Star magnolia and quince blooms pops against shutters painted in Charleston Green, a curious shade that dates back to the Civil War. All told, spring in the Lowcounty, with average temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees, is pleasant and picturesque—the perfect setting for festivals, symposiums and special events that showcase the local aesthetic and lifestyle.

Schools » FAQs
Our schools are open to students of all faiths. Primarily, our students come from the parishes of our diocese but about 15% of our students are not Catholic. We welcome the opportunity to teach them about the traditions and practices of our faith. All students are required to participate in religion courses but no one is ever graded on their faith. Instead they are graded on their knowledge of this key content area as taught by our highly qualified teachers.
With 22 schools in 7 counties across Central New York we have many options for our families. The best way to apply to your local Catholic school is to make direct contact with the principal and set up a tour of the school. At that time you can pick up an application from the school and follow the required steps.
Elementary education tuition in our schools is about $4000 per year (K-6) and secondary education tuition is about $5000 (7-12) depending on the school. The actual cost of educating a child in our diocese is much higher but we are able to keep the cost of tuition lower due to the support of our parishes and our alumni.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on making tuition assistance available for all those that seek it. In 2011-2012 the diocese alone was able to make grants of almost $800,000 for tuition assistance. In addition, local tuition assistance is granted by individual schools and parishes. In addition, there are multiple opportunities for scholarships and awards from our various schools and community partners.
We certainly do. We are proud to serve over 1000 students in these programs across the diocese. Parents of these young children are encouraged to contact their local elementary school to find out more about the three, four and even five year old transitional programs that we have to offer.
The best bet is to contact your school or the parish affiliated with that school directly. If you are unable to do that you may also contact the Catholic School Office at 315-470-1450.
