AWS debuts Haswell-powered C4 instances for heavy duty computing
New instances launched across seven regions deliver the highest level of processor performance on EC2, aimed at high-performance computing applications.

Intel has released the latest generation of its Xeon E5 processor family, with a range of features aimed at boosting performance, cutting power draw and making it easier to use in virtualised environments.
At Hot Chips, Nvidia revealed some of Denver's surprises and showed the first performance test results for this souped-up version of the Tegra K1 processor designed for smartphones, tablets and Chromebooks.
Nvidia add a new member to the Shield family, the new Shield high-performance gaming tablet featuring the Tegra K1 processor based on the Kepler architecture and 192 GPU cores.
A worldwide effort, led in part by Intel Israel, helped developed a long-life, high performance processor that is now in dozens of devices.
Once a niche, high-performance computing has become a key growth area for the tech industry. Intel's announcements at Supercomputing 13 today---including new details of a completely redesigned Many Integrated Core processor—show just how important technical computing has become.
Intel has launched its new Xeon E5-2600 processor range for dual-socket servers and workstations, which introduces performance and energy efficiency improvements over the previous generation.
A firmware upgrade to the Raspberry Pi will now support overclocking of the processor, gaining a 50-percent performance boost, the Raspberry Pi Foudation has said.
Intel bumps the performance of its top-end Core i7 Mobile Extreme Edition processor, finally breaking the 3GHz barrier - at the eye-watering price of $1,096.
The Many Integrated Core processor will now be known as Xeon Phi, stressing its pairing with powerfully cored Xeons to help generate enthusiasm for the chip among the supercomputing community
AMD's five new processors offer 100 MHz of better performance over their predecessors without any increase in power.
The combination of the new Xeon processor and a 10 GbE LOM controller brings major improvements in I/O performance to the datacenter
The Transformer Prime is the best marriage of screen and keyboard we've seen in a tablet. The quad-core Tegra 3 processor gives it professional-level performance, and battery life is excellent too.

The additional protection plans offered by electronics companies are often of dubious value to consumers, but Intel has just launched one that may be a good value if you like to tweak your processor.Its new Performance Tuning Protection Plan is designed to provide a replacement CPU in the event of "failures caused by operating the eligible processor outside of Intel's published specifications" -- i.
IBM says the Blue Gene/Q architecture can reach 100 petaflops, uses a new 18-core IBM PowerPC A2 processor and beats the maximum attainable processing performance of systems announced this year by Cray and Fujitsu
Nvidia has outlined its plan for the Denver high-performance computing processor, but is cryptic about when the chip might launch.The processor will have a 64-bit capability and emphasis will be placed on single-threaded performance, the company's chief executive, Jen-Hsun Huang, said on Thursday on the company's earnings call for the third quarter of 2012.
The Mali-T658 processor has 10 times the graphical performance of the Mali-400 and four times the compute performance of the Mali-T604, prepping the chip for use in high-end phones, tablets and smart TVs
Oracle has released version 11 of Solaris, the Unix-based operating system the company acquired when it purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010.The software, made generally available on Wednesday, was billed by Oracle in a statement as "the first cloud operating system".
Long rumored as Intel's first response to AMD's Bulldozer platform, the new Core i7-2700K processor has been officially launched as the fastest Sandy Bridge desktop chip. The quad-core CPU should already widen the performance gap between the Bulldozer flagship FX-8150 and Sandy Bridge's high end, though at an approximate price of $330 (according to CPU World), the i7-2700K is nearly $100 more expensive.

Q: How many of us does it take to put up the tree?
Emma and Joe got the ball rolling. Hobbes wasn't as interested in the tree as he typically is--I think our little kitten is finally growing up. Sigh. Here he is, boycotting the whole event:
All this decorating and getting ready for Christmas is exhausting, isn't it? And the idea of taking this all down in 2 weeks is crazy. It's so much darn work, it's killing me.

It's a very lovely tree...

- Hot Rocks said...
Your tree looks gorgeous, Lin. I think it's a wonderful tradition to get the family involved with the Christmas decorating.....now if you can only get them to be involved in taking it down and packing it away!
- December 17, 2012 at 8:08 AM

Beautiful tree!
It is exhausting work.
Hobbes has it figured out, though!

My mother always used tinsel and she was very particular about how it was to be hung.
I use glass icicles. I lose a couple every year so soon I will have to come up with something else.
Your tree is gorgeous. And it does seem a shame to go through it all for such a short period of time.

Dear HR Lady, All of the water blisters and itching has brought it to my attention that the "Christmas Ivy" you put up in the break room may be of the poisonous variety. I must admit that I did find it rather curious when you came to work in a full haz-mat suit instead of your usual trend-setting hip-waders, but I thought that you might be trying to demonstrate a good way to dress in order to avoid being sexually-harassed.

The tree is beautimous and I love exhausted Em!! :)

Our tree is up now too. Details on my blog. We went more toward the minimalist side of things. Looks good there at your house--even if the people are tired.
- December 17, 2012 at 10:36 AM
- Marg said...
Glad our tree is so very small. I am exhausted just reading about and seeing yours. But it is worth all that work. It sure is pretty and fun.
Have a great week.

Yay! You got your tree up - it's gorgeous and I love tinsel too! Love the pic of Hobbes boycotting it all ;-)

Cats are such good helpers!
Your tree is beautiful. I'd be passed out on the sofa just like you merely THINKING about putting up a tree.

- Ann said...
Your tree looks great. I prefer the tinsel to the garland. As a matter of fact we put up a second tree this year and I went out and bought some tinsel for it

- BeadedTail said...
Your tree is so pretty! It's nice you get to enjoy it for a whole week!
- December 17, 2012 at 6:44 PM
- Catherine said...
See? That is why you need to put your tree up earlier. It's a shame to go through all that work for only two weeks enjoyment. ;)

- Lin said...
Grace--Thank you. Is there ever an ugly one? I think not. ;)
Hot Rocks--Oh, they are pretty good about that too. Well...the tree anyway. Isn't it all a lot of work?? I'm gonna just have a table tree when I'm 90!
Vanilla--Yes, he has. He gets to enjoy the tree without any of the work. Smart kitty. And yes, he's been under the tree knocking everything down already. Ugh.
Patty--I don't like the new tinsel because it doesn't really hang--it sort of clumps. But, it gives you the idea, I guess. And it isn't all full of lead!
Jerry--You will be happy to know that Morale Boosting is continuing in the Break room with supplies laid out for our 2nd annual Gingerbread House Decorating Contest. And yes, I had to actually make a sign that read "Please do NOT eat the candy and ruin it for those who want to participate." They stole the knives that we used for the pumpkin carving contest. Seriously.
Candy--It's all worth it....I think.
Chuck--Oh, I'm gonna have to check out your decorations! I'm with you--I like the minimalist idea. We aren't there just yet.
Marg--It is pretty and when it is up and we are enjoying it, it is all worth it. Then we have to take it all down again. Ugh!
Duni--Yeah, I'm not sure what his problem is. I think he is mad that we moved the couch and he can't go out the side door anymore. He's sort of stuck in a rut.
Katnip--The cats weren't too bad this year, although they are both eyeing the train and the village. It's a lot of work, but I guess it is worth it.
Ann--Oh good--another tinsel gal!! The new tinsel is sort of weird, but I still like the effect! I'm laughing that you put up a second tree too! :P
Beaded Tail--TWO weeks!! Hahaha! I will actually keep it up until the New Year...but not past. ;)
Catherine--It's real, though. If we put it up any earlier, it would be just a stick!!!
- December 17, 2012 at 9:08 PM
- Petula Wright said...
Yes, lovely tree! And, now that you mentioned it, it IS a lot of work. We're still fiddling around with our tree. We got one that's a little taller. Now the star seems too small and there's a missing plug so the star isn't lit. Blah, blah. So by the time I get it like I like it it'll be time to take it down. :-)
Um, and I really must be missing out around here because did that say Em has a boyfriend. I'm sure I misread. I'm not ready for that. Thank you.
- December 17, 2012 at 10:04 PM
- Lin said...
Petula--Time is getting away from us--you have a grandchild and yes, Em has a boyfriend...of over a year! Life sure flies, doesn't it? I thought of you yesterday...I put the hobos out on the edge of the train village. :) I always think of of evil plan to run away.
- December 17, 2012 at 10:10 PM
- Karen and Gerard said...
Pretty tree, but your are right about all the work for just two weeks. I think it's even harder work taking it all down. Be careful of that tinsel though with your cats--it can be dangerous to them.
- December 19, 2012 at 5:30 AM
- Nancy said...
And your cats don't eat the tinsel?? Mine would. Heck, we've not yet had a tree while we've had them because at least one of them would take it and build it into a house.
- December 19, 2012 at 9:40 AM
- Sharkbytes said...
Beautiful job! I can't handle the get it out put it away part myself.
- December 19, 2012 at 6:09 PM

You all did a terrific job! Gorgeous tree!

Yeah, weather conditions have brought a lot of problems to people. People sit in airport and people hang about without knowing what to do…
I can't believe that this is the third year in a row that this has happened in the UK. The problem is we had got so used to have very very mild wet winters. Hopefully, we'll be better prepared next year.

Paris-Roubaix: Tech round-up
A quick look at the pro's bikes from last weekend's classic
Before Paris-Roubaix fades into a distant memory, here's a quick roundup of some of the bikes and kit the pros were using to get them across the pavé. Even when the weather is as good as it was on Sunday, the Hell of the North challenges equipment more than any other race on the calendar.
Britain's own Team Sky changed bikes for the race, going for Pinarello's Kobh rather than their usual Dogmas – which we've already had a good look at. As usual, several team members were running SRM PowerMeters, including Geraint Thomas who is one of many riders in the pro peloton using non-round chainrings. Team Sky use O,symetric for their assymetric needs, most of the riders favouring a 52-42 set up.
France's Europcar, whose highest placed rider was Damien Gaudin in 16th, went so far as to ditch road bikes and ride Colnago's Prestige cyclo-cross bike instead (see top of page and above). It has a carbon monocoque front triangle and lugged seatstays and chainstays, a reinforcing brace between the top tube and the seat tube, and the geometry is designed to be more stable than usual. The team had it fitted with Empella Frogglegs cantilever brakes (below).
The Cervélo S3 below – with the world champion's rainbow stripes – can only belong to Team Garmin-Cervélo's Thor Hushovd. This is his spare bike. The wheels are from Mavic, the groupset is SRAM Red and the chainrings are from Rotor.
Unlike Team Sky, Movistar stuck with their Pinarello Dogmas for the cobbles, and they continued using the Campagnolo electronic shifting system that they're trialling this year. They're the only team to be using it. All the parts are labelled 'Campy Tech Lab' which winds us up way more than it should, frankly. 'Campag' is classy. 'Campy' just isn't.
The electronic system doesn't have an official name yet, nor a release date, although it must be imminent. We'd be surprised if it wasn't included in Campagnolo's 2012 lineup.
This (below) close-up is of the top tube of one of the Trek Madones belonging to Leopard Trek (don't call them Trek Leopard. Or Def Leppard). That's a list of the 27 sections of pavé: when each arrives and how long it is. Being Leopard Trek, it's all done properly. They've spent some time on that rather than just taping a bit of paper to the stem. That's why they're professionals, see.
Liquigas-Cannondale were on Cannondale's Synapses rather than SuperSixes. The whole idea of the Synapse is to absorb shocks and vibration, the rear stays and fork deflecting slightly over uneven surfaces. It also has a longer than normal wheelbase and more relaxed angles which make the handling more suitable for Paris-Roubaix.
It's a small point but, like many of the other teams, Liquigas-Cannondale ditched their carbon bottle cages and went for aluminium instead – in this case an Elite Ciussi Gel model that can be yours for £12.99. You can bend an alu cage inwards to stop your bottle making a bid for freedom over the pavé. You can't do that with carbon.
That may sound trivial, a bit too finickety even, but consider this: it was a loose bottle wedging itself between his seatpost and rear wheel that caused the crash that not only ended Tom Boonen's race, but also brought down Geraint Thomas, who hit the ground hard for the third time that afternoon and would eventually finish outside the time limit.
Liquigas-Cannondale are big on colour co-ordination. The head unit on the SRM system is green…
…as are the Speedplay Zero pedals (these are Team Green Titanium)…
…and Vittoria Pave EVO CG tubs are always green.
blimey its almost like bikeradar-roadcyclinguk round here what with tech this tech that
but i have been enjoying the Paris-Roubaix/Ronde/dragon ride write ups..good stuff.

Thor's wheels are Cosmic Carbone SLR tubulars (a team only product), not the new M40s (which have regular ss spokes, not r2r carbon ones)

According to Mavic Hushovd definitely rode the M40s in the race - they were VERY emphatic on that point in their reply to us, so if those are Carbones on there maybe that's his spare bike

That is Hushovd's Flanders bike - he rode Roubaix on an R3 (not an S3 as above) with M40s.

Thanks for the clarification - although as Mat makes clear, it was his spare bike for Roubaix. I know that for a fact, because I took the pic on Sunday morning in Compiegne

"You're supposed to be where you are for reason. I felt like I was placed there at that moment to help this man," says Shelley Lynch, RN, who applied her skill, care and kindness to help save a man's life.
In April of this year, Shelley, an Intensive Care Unit nurse at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and faculty member at Northeastern University's School of Nursing, was on her way back to Boston from a business trip to Buffalo, NY. As she walked through baggage claim at Logan Airport, she noticed Massachusetts State Police officers hovering over a TSA worker lying on the ground.
Her natural instincts kicked in and Shelley immediately responded to the situation.
"I went over and said, 'I'm an ICU nurse. Can I help?'" Shelley says. "After checking for a pulse, I began CPR, and shouted for an AED [Automated External Defibrillator]. The troopers confirmed that 911 had been called. When an officer arrived with the AED, we put it on the man and delivered a shock. I continued CPR for the next two minutes and got a pulse back. Shortly after, EMS came and took him to the hospital."
Later, Shelley learned that the man survived. If it wasn't for her quick thinking and instinct to jump in and help someone in need without hesitation, the outcome may have been very different.
"I teach basic life support, cardiac life support … this is stuff I am teaching on a weekly basis," Shelley says. "I just got into my mode, saying to myself, 'This is what you do.' The minute I stopped and the EMS took him, at that moment, I was like, 'Did this just happen?' It was just surreal. I am trained to do it and teach people to do it. Now, I had to do it in the field for the first time."
Shelley's dedication to providing care for patients goes beyond the BIDMC campus. She fervently believes in providing extraordinary care with extraordinary compassion wherever and whenever someone is in need.
Shelley has since been recognized for her honorable act — she received an Outstanding Achievement Award from Massport, and was given a Massachusetts State Police Lifesaving Award and Badge of Lifesaving at the State House in October. Additionally, Shelley received a Governor's Citation recognition certificate from Gov. Deval Patrick, and an off-duty nurse recognition certificate from Robert A. DeLeo, Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
"I'm humbled. It feels weird to receive all these awards and this publicity. I just did what I have been trained to do for the past 15 years," Shelley says.
Shelley largely credits her training and time spent at BIDMC for her life-saving actions.
"During the incident there was a level of comfort in being the calm one among other people who weren't used to treating someone in cardiac arrest," she says. "That came from the confidence of being in a high acuity ICU [at BIDMC], surrounded by intelligent nursing and physician staff. I feel honored to be a part of this establishment. I love nursing and I love working at BIDMC."
While this experience has been both humbling and surreal for Shelley, she is using it as an opportunity to enrich her teaching, and encourage her students to step in when an emergency situation presents itself.
"I try to empower nurses to respond," Shelley says. "You might only know to check a pulse and start CPR, but that might save a life. I want to keep teaching and encouraging nurses to grow. This experience has helped my teaching style. I come to class with a little more passion because I understand that this really happens. It's not just a class, it could be you."

Last year's National League honor went to Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder, who became the youngest player in Major League history to hit 50 home runs in a season. Braun has made history of his own, joining the Cardinals' Albert Pujols as the only players to hit 30 home runs in each of his first two Major League seasons.Braun belted 34 homers in 2007 despite playing the first five weeks of the season with Triple-A Nashville, and became the first player since Pat Listach in 1992 to win the NL Rookie of the Year Award. Before Braun slumped with the rest of the Brewers in September, he was considered a strong candidate for the NL MVP Award. Aaron Award winners will be announced prior to Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday, Oct. 26. Last year's winners were Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Fielder. Originally introduced in 1999 to honor the 25th anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, the Hank Aaron Award was the first major award to be introduced in 30 years. The Brewers showed their commitment to Braun in May, when the 24-year-old inked an eight-year contract that guarantees $45 million and could pay as much as $51 million, with the deal setting a record for a player with less than one year of Major League service. With his historic contract in the bank, did Braun worry about increased expectations? "I embrace it," Braun said. "I've always had high expectations for myself. I think it will help me relax."

I work a few minutes away from there so i take a ride through tomorrow morning and see what looks good.
Did you manage to find a good location yet?
Yes, check the new thread "Philadelphia Area Meet September 8th 2007".
Any interest in another meet? I'd love to meet some people who've done this. I've got an '07 TBlazer and would REALLY love to meet someone who's done a similar vehicle.
Hey, I'm always up for meeting new people. Where in Delco are you?
I'm in Morrisville, Bucks Co (Rt 1 where it crosses the DE river). But I'm willing to travel.
welcome aboard, we only met the once but we really didn't hang out much that day so i wanted to do another meet sometime in the near future. Weather is still nice so we should consider doing it in october What say you guys?
Im in, lets set a date.
I'd be up for a meet, but would have to travel (from DE)
Got the job in Plymouth Meeting, so I'm employed again! And just in time for my 619 to die. :-( Well at least now I can afford a replacement.
Anyways, if y'all are meeting again, count me in.

The YJ13x6 KTS is a 2/3-inch wide angle of view portable lens offered by Canon to support diverse remote imaging applications including teleconferencing, distance learning, and specialized broadcasting applications. It is a member of a family of three 2/3-inch SD remote control lenses that collectively offer an unusually broad range of creative options.
The YJ13x6 KTS utilized breakthrough technologies and powerful computer-aided design techniques to produce a very wide-angle SDTV lens in a 3.73 lb package, an impressive 13% lighter than its predecessor, the YJ12x6.5B KTS. It is a design directly responding to the expressed creative desires of producers for a truly versatile SD acquisition system.
ABOUT THIS LENS The YJ13x6B KTS represents a magnificent compromise between the demands for compact sized, light-weight and the exacting performance requirements for high-end SDTV production. The requisite optimization strategies to achieve this balance sought a high MTF over the entire image plane, minimization of chromatic aberrations, and maximization of image contrast. Preservation of the highest MTF at the wider angle focal lengths (where scene detail can be particularly high) was a special priority.
