What really worries me is that this is a young team that has no killer instinct. Cal even said as much last night after the game. Once they get up by 15 or so, they start to coast and that is when teams make runs that get them back into the game. By all rights Kentucky should have won by about 20 last night.
I'm worried that every game before they play Tennessee is going to be a trap game.
Yes guys please lets not turn this into another Calipari sucks thread.
Discuss basketball and let things play out.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

One noticeable thing about John last night was his lack of cramping, first time this season that he's had no issues in that regard in a physical, tough game. Good to see.
When it didn't matter? We didn't win by much.... Wall was drawing the defense in which helped his teammates. Bledsoe tore it up though, sure.
Do you think Wall played poorly.... or poorly for John Wall standards?

I also thought Florida played pretty well in transition... very good outlet passes
Just how much fun are you guys having watching these kids play ball? This season, to this point, has been an absolute joy to watch and cheer on.

One way to monitor this metric is to look at company balance sheets and examine the size of their cash holdings. [Read more from Kapitall: Consumer Prices Rose But Shoppers Always Stop At The Drugstore] We ran a screen among US stocks by first looking for those with cash holdings that exceed more than four quarters of average operating expenses. With such large cash cushions, the companies in question could run operations (on average) for more than four quarters without earning any substantial profits. Then, to find stocks among our results showing upside momentum, we screened for those on "winning streaks." For our purposes, a winning streak is measured by a persistence of days in which the stock outperformed the S&P 500 and little persistence of days in underperforming the index.

COMSOL, Inc.
Editor contact:
Factory floor with a series of reel-to-reel electroplating units. As reels of solid or stamped metal plates pass through the electroplating units, metal is deposited over the entire plate or sections of the plate according to the application of electric current and the placement of shields. By using COMSOL simulation software, savings of between 10% and 30% of the metal deposited during electrolysis have been achieved. Picture courtesy of Philippe Gendre, PEM, France.
New Electrodeposition Module for COMSOL Multiphysics Released
Expansion module empowers shape and composition modeling and simulation of electrodeposits for metallic electroplating, electroforming, and decorative, wear and corrosion-protective coating.
BURLINGTON, MA (June 16, 2011) — COMSOL, Inc., today announced the release of the Electrodeposition Module, a new add-on expansion module for the company's flagship product COMSOL Multiphysics. The Electrodeposition Module provides engineers the ability to model and simulate the shape and composition of electrodeposits for such processes as copper and gold electroplating in the electronics industry, wear and corrosion-protective coatings of mechanical parts, decorative coatings such as chrome and nickel plating of automotive parts, as well as electroforming of thin and complex manufactured parts.
"The Electrodeposition Module allows for very accurate descriptions of the electrochemistry, heat transfer, and fluid flow in electrochemical cells used for electrodeposition," says Dr Henrik Ekstrom, technical program manager for electrochemical applications at COMSOL. "With this tool, developers can run realistic simulations of electrodeposition processes, from the micro-scale on up, using interfaces tailored for exactly these applications. This saves a lot of time and money in the development process."
An electrodeposition simulation for predicting the thickness of the decorative deposited layer in a furniture fitting. The Electrodeposition Module computes the layer thickness, here on the order of micrometers, using a secondary current distribution model and a deposit thickness variable at each point on the surface.
The Electrodeposition Module enables realistic simulations for investigating the influence of cell and electrode geometry, chemistry, material properties, and operating conditions. The shape and composition of a deposited metal layer is modeled with either a thickness variable for very thin layers or as a moving boundary for thicker layers.
"You don't have to be a modeling expert to make good use of COMSOL," comments Dr. Philippe Gendre, head of research and development at the electroplating firm PEM in Siaugues, France. "By using COMSOL we have made significant advances, often including savings between 10% and 30% of the metal we deposit during electrolysis. With the new Electrodeposition Module, model set up of the electroplating process is very easy. The module includes all the electroplating physical effects in a single user interface, including conductive media for the electrical current, Navier-Stokes for the electrolyte flow, and electrokinetic flow to simulate the transport of species."
Tailored Interfaces and Model Library
The Electrodeposition Module has interfaces for secondary and tertiary current distribution. Laminar flow and heat transfer interfaces, including predefined couplings for electrochemical cells, are also included in the module. Turbulent flow and two-phase flow capabilities are available in combination with COMSOL's CFD Module.
The secondary current distribution interfaces handle the electrode kinetics at the electrode surfaces and the current conduction in the electrodes and electrolyte. The tertiary current distribution interfaces also include the material balances of the ions in the electrolyte, with transport by diffusion, migration, and convection, which can be modeled together with fluid flow in the cell.
Both the secondary and tertiary current distribution interfaces include detailed modeling of multiple electrode reactions (using, for example, Butler-Volmer expressions), the shape and composition of the deposited layer, and also of possible dissolution processes at the anode.
Each of these functionalities are available as predefined options in the graphical user interface and in combination with any other COMSOL add-on product. The Electrodeposition Module comes with a model library that includes tutorials and benchmark models demonstrating its workflow and capabilities.
This model of copper deposition in a trench-like geometry illustrates the use of moving meshes in accounting for the relatively large changes in geometry as electrodeposition of copper takes place on a cathode surface. Both electrode kinetics and transport by diffusion and convection of ions are accounted for, and the model is therefore referred to as a tertiary current density distribution model.
"Modeling and simulation are cost effective ways for understanding, optimizing, and controlling electrodeposition processes, so it's great news for the simulation community that we now offer the Electrodeposition Module for COMSOL's powerful multiphysics environment," comments Dr. Ekstrom. "Electrodeposition processes previously beyond reach for simulations are now available in a standard simulation environment with an easy-to-use user interface."
Electrodeposition Module Highlights
- Work with real CAD geometry models and leading CAD formats.
- Multiple reactions using full electrode kinetic expressions for the charge transfer for estimating the composition of different metals of the deposit and the extent of hydrogen evolution.
- Electroless deposition: Mixed electrode potential and current density calculations at zero net current.
- Shape and composition calculations of electrodeposits using Faraday's law and material balances for the deposited or dissolved metal at the electrode surfaces.
- Moving boundaries with automatic remeshing for large changes in cathode and anode shape.
- Material balances in the electrolyte, including transport by diffusion, migration, convection, and homogenous electrolyte reactions.
- Surface chemistry of adsorbed species.
- Charge balances using electroneutrality or Poisson's equation.
- Current and potential distribution in the electrolyte, at the electrode surfaces, and in the electrodes in the cell.
- Fluid flow and heat transfer coupled to ion transport, electric conduction in the electrode, and electrode charge transfer reactions.

Couple Tyler Savage and Larry Farris arrived at Chick-fil-A off Northwest Highway Friday afternoon to quietly protest the company's anti-gay stance – and to kiss.
Various media outlets swarmed the couple and two others who were present when Instant Tea was there for the noon hour.
Farris, known as "Larry The Fairy" in the Dallas LGBT community, said the National Same-sex Kiss-in Day at Chick-fil-A Friday was not about the company President Dan Cathy's remarks about gay marriage, but about the company giving funds to anti-gay groups.
"I'm not going to spend money here anymore. Why would I want to fund companies that are anti-me?" he said. "Free speech is free speech. I don't care what he says, it's the money that he's donating."
For Savage, it's a not about the chicken chain.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 4, 2012
In 2011, ASCO's Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) tested how a patient's family history was collected and whether genetic testing was recommended for patients with breast or colorectal cancers. QOPI is a national program designed to measure the care provided to patients so each doctor's office or treatment center that participates in the program can use that information to improve the cancer care they provide.
Keeping a patient's family history of cancer is important to understand their risk of cancer and learn if they might benefit from genetic counseling or genetic testing. Furthermore, people with family members who have had breast or colorectal cancer tend to have a higher risk of developing the same cancers. Previous studies have shown that many patients do not have full family histories in their medical records and have not been recommended for genetic testing or counseling.
The 213 doctors' offices and treatment centers that participated in this study looked through 10,466 medical records for information on family history and recommendation for genetic counseling or testing. Researchers found that 77% of the patients' medical records included a family history of cancer in their first-degree relatives (parent, sibling, child), and 61% had a history for their second-degree relatives (grandparent, grandchild, aunt or uncle, niece or nephew). However, less than a third of the medical records with a family history included the age at which the family members were diagnosed with cancer.
Researchers also found that genetic counseling or testing was recommended for 22% of all patients. For patients with an increased risk based on family history, genetic counseling or testing was recommended for 52% of those with breast cancer and 26% of those with colorectal cancer. When genetic testing was done at the doctor's office or treatment center, almost 78% of the patients had agreed to have the testing, and about 79% of patients talked with their doctors about the results of testing.
What this means for patients
"An accurate family history and appropriate referral to genetic testing is important for a patient's treatment and follow-up care, as well as for their family members," said lead author Marie Wood, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director of the Familial Cancer Program and Deputy Director of Hematology/Oncology at University of Vermont in Burlington. To help create your family history, talk with your family about whether any of your relatives have been diagnosed with cancer, including the type of cancer they might have had and the age they were diagnosed. Learning more about the history of cancer in your family can help you better understand your and your family's risk of cancer.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- Do you have my family history of cancer recorded in my file?
- What information do you need to create my family history?
- What is my risk of cancer?
- Should I visit with a genetic counselor or have any genetic testing?
- If I choose genetic testing, who will help me understand the results?

Police have stepped up their search around the house of murdered Melksham woman Suzanne Newton.
A forensic team finished their work and a tent, erected after the discovery of the woman's body on Sunday morning, was taken away yesterday as police officers undertook a search of the grounds around 51 Barnes Wallis Close on the Bowerhill estate.
Husband Richard Newton, arrested on Monday on suspicion of her murder, is still receiving hospital treatment.
Police had been searching for the 51-year-old after his car was found unattended at Brendon Common, Exmoor on Sunday.
And after the search spread south following the discovery of his car, a blue Volkswagen Polo, the 51-year-old was arrested in Dulverton, Devon.
The man was taken to Taunton Police Station, he remains under arrest and is being guarded by police officers whilst in hospital after being assessed at the custody suite.
Once discharged from hospital he will be taken to Melksham Police Station for interview.
Mr and Mrs Newton are believed to have lived at the Bowerhill address for three years and one neighbour said last night: "It's very sad. She kept to herself, but we always used to see her walking her dog."
Work colleagues of Mrs Newton have paid their respects by leaving floral tributes outside her home.
Mrs Newton, believed to be in her forties, was employed by Darren Guinness Associates, and fellow workers at the Calne-based recruitment agency have left flowers at the end of the driveway of her home.
One floral tribute read: "18 flowers from 18 people thinking of you. Such a sad loss, lots of love from everyone at DGA (Darren Guinness Associates)."
Another read: "RIP. Always in our hearts, sleep tight, sweet dreams. Julia, David and Caitlin."
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Mr Newton leading up to Sunday or who may have any information on this incident is asked to call Wiltshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800500111 where information can be left anonymously.

The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers informed its members yesterday that it has cancelled this year's SCTE Canadian Summit.
Citing the cost of travel and the goal of maximizing members' time and the organization's efficiency, the STCE board of directors is currently evaluating a virtual version of the Canadian Summit for this year while looking at the timing, location and format for 2014 and beyond.
The new program is slated to be announced in the near future and will be free to all SCTE members.
The SCTE came up with its Canadian Summit concept in 2008, and the first one was held a year later at the Toronto Congress Centre, with 600 attendees and 40 vendors on hand. The 2009 Canadian Summit also marked the debut of new SCTE President and CEO Mark Dzuban, who spoke at the awards luncheon.
With the Summit based in Toronto, a large contingent of Rogers Communications employees were on hand in the past, while Dermot O'Carroll, formerly Rogers' senior vice president of network engineering and operations, played a prominent role. O'Carroll retired from Rogers last year but has remained active in the cable industry.
The SCTE Canadian Summit also featured the Young Canadian Engineering Professional of the Year Award, which was won last year by Chris Skarica, Arris' vice president of strategic accounts for Canada. Also last year, Aurora Networks won the Summit's Technology Challenge.
On a personal note, I only attended the Summit the first year, but three things still stand out: the bitter cold when walking the short distance from the hotel to the conference center, the lack of an Internet connection at the conference center, and my first introduction to ice wine. It was also enjoyable to speak with O'Carroll in a relaxed atmosphere and to hear Dzuban expound on his cannonball collection, among other things.

Where she does become interesting to compare with other yachts in her size range is fuel consumption. At 18 to 24 knots, Viljoen told me, Hokulani burns as much as 185 gph. (The yard's specs say 245 gph, or 377 gph at top speed.) With three hours of cruising for each of seven days at $5 per gallon, even by Viljoen's number, that's an end-of-week fuel bill of nearly $20,000.
I raised my eyebrows at this prospect.
"At some point because of the fuel crisis," Viljoen said with an understanding nod, "these boats may become a thing of the past. There's an element of people wanting to do it now."
One thing that will never go out of style--or sensibility, as it were--is the fold-down terrace. This design feature is becoming the latest must-have onboard motoryachts, offering enough room for a couple of chairs and a small table in an intimate setting, one that quite literally hovers over the water. Hokulani has two terraces that lower from her side decks, creating nooks for enjoying a cocktail or reading a book with an unencumbered view of the surroundings. When they're folded up, they're nearly impossible to discern--a testament to the craftsmanship at Palmer Johnson. (If you're trying to spot them in one of the photographs in these pages, look just abaft where the bowrail tapers on either side deck. You'll see the faint, rectangular outline of the terrace above the portholes on the bottom deck.)
Another feature that is likely to remain popular long after the price of fuel stabilizes is the private cinema, which Hokulani has all the way forward on her main deck, up nine steps from the owner's cabin. As the yacht was originally intended to be private, this media room is laid out as a cozy sitting space instead of an all-guest theater, but I thought I would be plenty comfortable cranking up the surround sound at anchor with a couple of friends.
Larger gatherings will take place on the main deck and sundeck, the latter of which is a truly indoor-outdoor space. It has a permanent hardtop with six large, square skylights that combine with the open aft section to provide any combination of sun and shade that guests might desire. Kelsey told me the design was intended to feel distinctly different from the sky lounges on other tridecks of Hokulani's size. "Instead of being the usual closed-in area, you're still breathing the air from outside, though you are sheltered," he said. "It is another place where people can use the boat yet be part of the elements around it."
The features that have made the 150 series a winner for Palmer Johnson are expected to be key to the design of its forthcoming 170, which Kelsey says has begun construction at a new yard in England and is due to launch in 2010. Next up after that will be what he called "a very large displacement-type yacht" to be built at a shipyard Palmer Johnson recently acquired in Norway. "I can't give any other details. All I can say is that it won't be a sport yacht. It's not like anything we've built before."
Hokulani is certainly unlike anything the worldwide charter market has seen before, and thanks to her initial success, more owners of 150s (and large express-style yachts in general) may decide to make them available for the public to enjoy. Hokulani is an excellent choice to lead the way, shining brightly both literally and figuratively with a name that is Hawaiian for "starry heavens."
There's nothing celestial about the yacht's success in Kelsey's mind. He and the Palmer Johnson team knew exactly what they were doing all along. "Hokulani was really built for the clients that want to have fun," he says. "That's what that the boat is all about, inside and out: having fun and looking good doing it."

TEMPE — Quarterback Brian Hoyer was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals on December 10, 2012.
On December 29 he will make his first career start, for the Cardinals against the San Francisco 49ers.
"He's been in the league, he's a veteran guy, he did a nice job in last week's game and this is an opportunity to see what he can do with a week of practice and where he can go from there," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said when announcing the decision Wednesday.
Hoyer, 27, has played in 14 NFL games during the course of his career, completing just over 61 percent of his passes for 391 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He completed 11-of-19 passes for 105 yards and a pick in a losing effort last Sunday in relief of Ryan Lindley.
"He has a good knowledge of the game, good timing on his throws, I think he did a good job in the game last week making some accurate throws, some quick throws," Whisenhunt said, noting the interception was not Hoyer's best pass. "I know he's going against a tough defense, it will be a tough situation, but it's a great time to evaluate him and see where he is."
Where Hoyer will be is really anyone's guess. He'll have been with the team less than three weeks before leading them against the first place 49ers, and as Whisenhunt said, he'll be facing a really good defense.
"What a good test and opportunity to go and play against those guys up at their place," Hoyer said.
The former Michigan State quarterback said his job all along was to practice as if he might get a chance to play at some point, and even admitted he had an inkling he might see the field after being picked up late in the season.
Still, for a player who has been in the league as long as he has, getting that first start is something he's definitely excited — and ready — for.
"This is an opportunity I waited a long time for," Hoyer said, adding he didn't really expect it to come with the Cardinals. "When you're given opportunities like this you've just got to try to go out, prepare as best you can and make the most of them."
In a way it is an audition for the quarterback, though Whisenhunt said that's not the reason he is getting the nod Sunday. When asked, the coach said Hoyer presented the perfect mix of giving the team its best chance to win while giving the coaches a chance to evaluate a new option at the most important — and struggling — position on the team.
"I wouldn't put him in there just to play him and see what he is; this isn't a tryout," Whisenhunt said. "I think he merited that based on the way he played in the game last weekend and it is an opportunity to see how he handles that with a week of practice, there's no question about that.
"But I also think from what we saw last week he did some nice things in the game and see if he can build off of that."
If he does, Hoyer will do what few quarterbacks have done for the Cardinals since Kurt Warner retired in 2010. Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley have all been given a shot, and each one has failed in some regard. The team's inability to get quality play out of the position has led to three straight seasons without a spot in the postseason.
So if Hoyer is a last-ditch attempt to try and find something positive at that position, so be it. Whisenhunt said Hoyer appears calm in the pocket with an ability to see the field and make accurate throws, so he wants to see how the former Patriot and Steeler fares as the unquestioned starter for a week.
"It's no secret we haven't gotten the production out of that position that we needed," the coach said, noting it seems like more than four players this season given how players have been in and out of the lineup. "We've got to get consistency at that position and this is an opportunity to see how Brian measures up."

SAINT LEO, Fla. - Saint Leo Head Softball Coach John Conway has announced the signings of Jami Lyn Schlecker, Aubrey Simco, Alana Tabel, and Tiffany Fettig to National Letters of Intent, it was announced Thursday. Schlecker, Simco, and Tabel are Florida natives, while Fettig joins the Lions from Indiana. The quartet will begin their tenure with the Lions during the 2012-13 academic year.
"I am excited for these four incoming student-athletes," said Conway. "I feel they will bring our program to a higher level and motivate our returning players to improve their game."
The Lions, whose roster boasts 11 upperclassmen, including five seniors, are beginning to reload for the future with their latest signings.
Jami Lynn Schlecker
5-11, Infield
Coral Springs, Fla.
Coral Springs Charter High School
Schlecker, a Coral Springs, Fla. native, posted some hefty numbers competing at Coral Springs Charter High School. Through her junior season, Schlecker registered multiple postseason awards, including 2010 All-County Honorable Mention. In addition, the corner infielder was selected 2011 All-County Second Team with a .515 batting average. Her success transferred over to the travel ball world, as well, as she registered a .410 batting average, a .483 on-base percentage, and a .516 slugging percentage with the Sunrise Thunder.
Coach's Outlook: "Jami will compete for a spot at either first or third base. She is strong and very athletic, and I expect her bat to be in the top of our lineup after she arrives."
Aubrey Simcoe
5-8, Utility
Clermont, Fla.
East Ridge High School
A four-year varsity player, Simcoe guided her East Ridge High School team to the 2011 District Championship. Furthermore, she led her travel ball squad to the ISF World Cup in 2011, eventually winning the National Championship.
Coach's Outlook: "Aubrey possesses all the skills you look for in a player. She has size, speed, a strong arm, and a bat. She will compete immediately for a spot in our outfield."
Alana Tabel
6-2, Pitcher
Loxahatchee, Fla.
Seminole Ridge High School
A four-year varsity softball standout and two-year varsity volleyball player, Tabel assisted her Palm Beach Gardens softball program to a state championship. She was a two-year captain and led the county in strikeouts with 197 and 1.03 ERA, while posting four no-hitters. She also excelled with the Lady Gators travel ball team as they placed fifth at 2011 ASA Gold Nationals.
Coach's Outlook: "Alana comes from a very strong travel program that finished fifth at ASA Gold Nationals this past summer. She continues to improve her pitching each time out. She is able to keep hitters off balance and gets stronger with runners on base. I feel at some point she will be a force in the conference."
Tiffany Fettig
5-4, Catcher
Greenwood, Ind.
Greenwood High School
A four-year varsity softball player for Greenwood High School, Fettig is an active member of her high school. Participating in many extracurricular activities, including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Fettig brings multiple positive qualities to the program on and off the field.
Coach's Outlook: "Tiffany will compete immediately for a spot behind the plate. She will be a leader for us on and off the field. She possesses a quick release and is an above average hitter."
The quartet of NLI's will hit the field for the Lions in the fall of 2012.

Indiana Supreme Court
Office of Judicial Administration
State House, Room 314
200 W. Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Mary Willis
Chief Administrative Officer
Since 1997, the Indiana Office of Court Services has been responsible for administering a state fund for legal assistance to indigent persons in civil cases. Yearly, in July and January, the Office makes distributions, totaling one and a half million dollars, to organizations providing civil legal aid services to Indiana's poor. The number of qualified organizations currently stands at twelve. Distributions are based upon an analysis of each county's civil caseload, as it relates to the caseload for the entire state, and the number of organizations serving each county.
Thanks to the cooperation and efforts of all of the Civil Legal Aid Fund providers by using the new electronic reporting tool, we have been able to collect and translate the data from all the providers into a useable format. Though there are some hiccups due to the way data is maintained by some providers, overall this data presents a good overview of the services that indigent Hoosiers are receiving from Civil Legal Aid Fund providers.
The majority of cases handled by the providers arise in the area of family law, followed by consumer law and housing issues. The data shows that most cases are resolved with counsel and advice, but a significant number are resolved by court decision.
For those of you who want to delve into the data further, click the following link: Caseload Data. In the first row - upper left hand portion of the page - you can select data from either 2010 or 2011. Once you have made your selection you will find five tabs:
In the By County-Provider tab you find rows listing all ninety-two counties, with columns consisting of the various ways the cases were closed. Before each county name is a small box with a plus sign (+) in it. Clicking on the plus sign will expand the presentation to show the providers who reported cases in that county. Likewise, each provider name has a plus sign before it. Clicking on this plus sign expands the data further to show the various categories of cases that the provider reported in that county. Clicking the plus sign before the category names will bring up the subcategories for that category.
Note that clicking on a plus sign changes the sign to a minus sign (-). Clicking on a minus sign will collapse the view of the data to the view that existed before the plus sign was clicked.
The next tab, By Provider, operates in the same way as the By County-Provider tab, except that instead of rows consisting of counties, here the rows are populated with each provider. Clicking the plus sign before a provider's name will bring up the counties that provider served. Clicking the plus sign before the county names will bring up the category data for that provider in that county. Clicking the plus sign before the category names reveals the subcategory data in that county for the provider.
The third tab, By Category, has rows made up of the category of cases. The data presented here is for the state as a whole. Clicking the plus sign before the category name brings up statewide subcategory data.
The next tab, Chart by Category, contains a visual breakdown of the types of cases that have been handled statewide by Civil Legal Aid Fund providers.
The next tab, Chart by Family Subcategory, sets forth the category generating the most cases into it component subparts. The selection options in the upper left hand corner allow you to change the category shown and refine the data further to a particular county.
The final tab, Chart by County, sets out a summary of total cases processed in each county for the selected year.
We hope that presenting this data is of value to you. If you have any problems or questions, please let us know.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A woman attacked and robbed at knifepoint outside The Florida Mall says she thinks the man will strike again.
As soon as Lynn Girling got into her car parked outside JC Penny at the mall, a man grabbed and twisted her arm and then pulled out a knife.
"He said, 'Stop screaming. My knife is very sharp,'" she said.
Girling's daughter was in the passenger seat and gave the man all the cash she had, $60. He also took their credit cards and car keys before running away.
"He was desperate, he was unhealthy looking. I really think that he's going to do it again," she said.
Girling was parked in a space farthest from the store, and she says the lights in that lot were not on.
"It was so dark, I never saw him coming," she said.
On Thursday night, the lot where Girling was attacked was completely lit, something she says needs to happen every night.
"I want them to protect their customers and make sure their lights are on. I really feel like that would've helped," she said.
The mall's general manager, Brian Hanson, said the mall does not tolerate criminal activity.
"The mall continues to maintain a strong commitment to providing active security patrols in and around our property to provide a safe and secure shopping environment for our employees and mall guests," he said in a statement.
Girling says she's grateful she and her daughter made it out alive.
"I never actually thought that the next move could be death," she said.
The culprit was described as a white man in his early 50s with shoulder-length hair that was slicked back.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Network Rail is placing a liaison officer in County Hall in Trowbridge after coming under fire for disruption caused by electrification work in Wiltshire.
The company's £1bn project to electrify the Great Western line saw The Dauntsey Lock bridge shut on March 8 for five months.
Residents successfully campaigned for three roads to be closed due to safety fears they were being used as rat runs by drivers avoiding the official diversion route.
But the closures of Bowd's Lane, Trow Lane and the road from Grittleton to Tockenham Wick are said to be costing traders business while home owners say they have been 'marooned' by the move.
North Wiltshire MP James Gray met with Network Rail on two occasions last week to discuss the issue, privately at his Westminster office and at Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council. In an email to residents at Trow Lane he said: "At both meetings Robbie Burns, the regional director for Network Rail, reiterated their determination to work with local people to find the best way through what he readily admits will be a very difficult and painful process.
"Network Rail has recognised there may have been failings and problems with the early stages of the electrification process and is determined to improve on it.
"I really do feel that the right way forward is to try and work with them rather than against them. Their interests and those of local people need not be at loggerheads."
Work is being carried out on bridges at Fosseway and Pig Lane in Sherston, as well as Cabbage Lane south of Corston, which were due to re-open in December. Residents are also concerned about plans to close Skew Bridge on the A3102 heading south out of Royal Wotton Bassett for six months.
Wiltshire Council's network manager Joanne Heal said: "Network Rail's electrification project will affect many of the road bridges in Wiltshire and has a major impact on our highway network.
"The first three bridge works in the north of the county were not managed well, have generated an enormous amount of negative feedback and significantly over run in terms of duration.
"As a result we have agreed a more defined set of protocols for communication and management of these schemes and have established a working group with officers from Wiltshire Council and Network Rail in order to manage these works as efficiently as possible."

Two different crises, three years later
Three years ago today, the strongest earthquake ever to hit Japan and the subsequent tsunami devastated its northeastern coastal communities, killing more than 15,000 people.
Coincidentally, this weekend will mark three years since the start of the Syrian crisis that continues to impact millions of lives in the Middle East and beyond.
These notable anniversaries — both devastating — depict a marked difference between what the humanitarian world refers to as "slow-" versus "sudden-" onset emergencies.

Mutations are breaks and shifts that occur as a result of radioactive or chemical damage to the DNA molecule that carries genetic data. Mutations damage the nucleotides that make up DNA, or else cause them to change places, causing changes that are usually too severe for the cell to repair.
Therefore, contrary to what many people imagine, the mutations that evolutionists depend on are not, magic wands that lead living things to progress and perfection. Mutations' net effects are harmful. The only changes brought about by mutations are of the kind suffered by the offspring born to inhabitants of Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl; in other words, death or deformity. The reason for this is elementary: Any random impact on the very complex structure of the DNA molecule can only harm it.
The American geneticist B.G. Ranganathan explains:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most mutations are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly changes in the structure of genes; any random change in a highly ordered system will be for the worse, not for the better. For example, if an earthquake were to shake a highly ordered structure such as a building, there would be a random change in the framework of the building, which, in all probability, would not be an improvement.64
No examples of beneficial mutations have ever been observed. The evolutionist scientist Warren Weaver said the following about a report prepared by the Committee on Genetic Effects of Atomic Radiation, set up to examine the mutations arising as a result of nuclear weapons in the wake of the Second World War:
Many will be puzzled about the statement that practically all known mutant genes are harmful. For mutations are a necessary part of the process of evolution. How can a good effect - evolution to higher forms of life - result from mutations, practically all of which are harmful?65
All the mutations observed in human beings are harmful. Medical textbooks describe physical or mental defects such as mongolism, Down Syndrome, albinism, dwarfism and sickle cell anemia, or diseases such as cancer as examples of mutation. A process that cripples or sickens cannot, of course, be any evolutionary mechanism.
These photographs show some of the damaging effects of mutation on the human body.
A process that cripples individuals or leaves them ill cannot, of course, give rise to any progress.
Literally thousands of human diseases associated with genetic mutations have been catalogued in recent years, with more being described continually. A recent reference book of medical genetics listed some 4,500 different genetic diseases. Some of the inherited syndromes characterized clinically in the days before molecular genetic analysis (such as Marfan's syndrome) are now being shown to be heterogeneous; that is, associated with many different mutations.With this array of human diseases that are caused by mutations, what of positive effects? With thousands of examples of harmful mutations readily available, surely it should be possible to describe some positive mutations if macroevolution is true. These would be needed not only for evolution to greater complexity, but also to offset the downward pull of the many harmful mutations. But, when it comes to identifying positive mutations, evolutionary scientists are strangely silent.66
1. Mutations are always harmful. Since they occur at random, they always damage living things. Logically, any unconscious intervention in a perfect and complex structure will damage it, rather than causing it to develop. Indeed, no useful mutations have ever been observed.
2. No information can be added to DNA as a result of mutation. The components of the genetic information are removed and dismantled, damaged or carried to other locations in the DNA. Yet mutations can never cause a living thing to acquire a new organ or attribute.
3. For a mutation to be transmitted to a subsequent generation, it must take place in the reproductive germ cells.No change arising in any other cell of the body can be passed along to later generations. For example, an embryo's eye may depart from its original form by being subjected to radiation and other similar effects, but this mutation will not manifest itself in subsequent generations.

PENSACOLA, Fla.—The latest NCBWA Division II South Region Rankings were unveiled today and Saint Leo University baseball took the sixth spot in the poll.
The Lions have started off the year 9-2 and have rattled off eight wins in a row. Not having a sweep since 2008—the Lions have now swept their opponent two consecutive weekends.
In the previous poll, Saint Leo was unranked but was receiving votes.
After dropping the first series of the year at home to Montevallo, the Lions have been on fire since—winning eight consecutive games.
The Lions' starting pitching has stepped up and provided quality starts in nearly every game—with Charlie Neely, Rick Teasley, and Brent Krauss in the three weekend roles. Neely is leading the group with a 1.83 ERA and 27 strikeouts.
The Lions will look to continue that hot streak tonight as the team continues its four-game road trip at Albany State. First pitch is set for 5:00 p.m.

COMEBACK king Steve Bendall is set to defend his World Boxing Union middleweight crown in Bournemouth with hot prospect Iain Weaver on the undercard.
The 40-year-old veteran's clash with German challenger Florian Wildenhof tops a bill of seven fights at the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) on Saturday, March 15, in what promises to be the town's biggest boxing bonanza to date.
Ferndown fighter Weaver, 24, takes on Ghanaian opponent Michael Ansah in a six-round bout on the back of an unblemished record of five victories since turning professional in April last year.
It will be the first outing in Dorset for both men with Coventry-born Bendall determined to put on a show and inspire the host of would-be boxers to forward their careers in his adopted hometown.
Bendall told the Daily Echo: "I have been down here for 15 years and we have never had a proper, professional boxing show so we really had to make it happen.
"It is important for the people Bournemouth to come out and support the two best fighters down here. People need to see how lucky we are to have such talent on our doorstep.
"So many boys are looking to progress in the same way Iain did. They want to make a name for themselves and if they see us building good stables they will stick with it here instead of going out of town to try to turn pro.
"I might be coming towards the end of my career and the kid (Weaver) is still putting himself on the map but we can bring more to (boxing in) Bournemouth with two good wins."
Wildenhof, 32, will arrive on the south coast with an impressive record, boasting 17 wins from 20 fights, but Bendall is eyeing a successful defence of the title he won by beating John Akugulu in Germany in December.
"I don't feel 40 and, hopefully, I will be able to show that. I'm doing it in the gym so it's all about putting it together," Bendall added.
"To come home and do it in Bournemouth, it's just great for me.
"I'm just looking forward to having a packed house filled with my home crowd."
- For tickets – which are priced from £25-70 – or sponsorship packages, contact Bendall on 07855 942151 or Weaver on 07867 382890. The BIC box office starts selling tickets from Monday.

Cay TV, 31 January 2009
Mavi Karadeniz TV, 17 February 2009
Adnan Oktar: They said that it was an insignificant crisis which would last at most 6 months or a year and would regress and disappear. And I said it was a an enormous flood, an economic flood. I said it would last for 7 years.Now the world's richest people started to go bankrupt. Today a newspaper carried the headline that a person known as the weathiest person went bankrupt as well. Now it's the turn of all factories, banks, they are all on the line. That means the entire capitalist system will collapse. And none of them will be able to survive.Only the Turkish-Islamic Union is like Noah's Ark.This union will rescue the entire world in the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Not much time will pass by to see that what I tell will come true. 2014 is close at hand and you'll see it.
Çay TV, 4 March 2009
Adnan Oktar: I said in the beginning when the economic crisis took off, "this will last for seven years" I said and "IT WILL INTENSIFY MORE AND MORE." I said, "It will cause serious famine in the world", and "serious precautions should be taken and preparations need to be made now to prevent this". And I said that the only solution is the Turkish-Islamic Union. Otherwise the world would be destroyed let me tell you, they would be perished and it would turn into a famine never seen before in the history of the world. The only solution is the Turkish-Islamic Union. This time it will be reserved with the bounty, prosperity, beauty and peace brought by this and thus be reversed… There is no need to wait till the end of it. Look, throughout the world, countries go down, now countries have begun to go bankrupt. And there is this now for example I've never heard of it before. I knew that companies would go bankrupt, but I wasn't hearing about countries going down, their economies are collapsing. Every day we hear something new that very big companies declare bankruptcy. The solution to save our Turkey from this trouble is, I'm saying it again and again, the Turkish-Islamic Union, to hold onto spirituality and to look after one another. It is feeling compassion and mercy towards the poor and the needy. And holding out money and goods is the trigger of this problem. Consuming the goods, distributing the goods, distributing the funds and activating fund circulation is required. But this is of course a matter of moral schooling. It is a matter of enthusiasm, excitement, love, and insha'Allah these all will happen.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After adding a key performance player to her roster last week, head women's basketball coach Nikki Jessee announced the signing of two additional players in Mary Redmond and Rachel Harrell.
"These two players fit the type of player we look for here at Saint Leo University," said Jessee. "Both are high IQ players, who can score the basketball in a number of ways, as well as shoot it from the 3-point line and both are quality academic students too."
The freshman pair joins junior LaQuinta Jefferson as the first members of the 2014-15 signing class.
Mary Redmond
5-7, Guard, Freshman
Scarborough, Maine
Scarborough HS
Hailing from Scarborough, Maine, Redmond attended Scarborough High School where she was a four-year letter-winner for both the women's basketball and softball teams. As a junior, Redmond competed with a team that went 19-2 on the year and finished the season as the Western A Runner-Up, while her senior season boasted a 16-4 record and a trip to the Western A semi-finals. In 2013-14, she earned Southwestern Maine Athletics Association (SMAA) All-Conference honors, was selected to the SMAA All-Star Game, and was the All-Star game 3-point contest runner-up.
Jessee's Thoughts: "The first time I saw Mary play at our Elite Camp I was so impressed with her overall toughness and competitiveness that I offered a full scholarship on the spot. I love the way she competes every single play, every single possession. She hates losing, and because of that she has become a very good player. Mary can play the point or 2-guard positions for us at Saint Leo. She is able to score in a number of ways, whether it's by shooting the three, pulling-up off the dribble, or driving to the basket. We are excited to have been able to steal Mary away from up North."
Rachel Harrell
5-8, Guard, Freshman
Camilla, Ga.
Westwood School
Raised in Camilla, Ga., Harrell currently attends Westwood School where she has played under head coach Jenni Smith for the past three seasons. During her freshman year, she was named to the All-Conference First Team and by her sophomore season, she had accumulated 1000 career points, earning her a selection to the All-Region Team. During her junior season, in which her team claimed their first state championship in the school's 42 year history, Harrell was named to the All-Region team and was selected as the All-State Region Player of the Year.
Jessee's Thoughts: "Rachel is a phenomenal shooter, who happens to be as tough-nosed as they come. These are two characteristics that don't usually go together when describing a shooter. Rachel isn't afraid to get in the lane and rebound with taller players, and is an aggressive player defensively. We are excited to add another great shooter to our already loaded backcourt. Rachel will be able to play the 2 and 3-guard positions for us. Not only is she a very good basketball player, but she is a great student, as well."

I had an idea for a Bully sequel game, It's mostly about multiplayer
Being able to creat your own bully who you'll take over the school with, You'll be able to be a girl or a boy! each gender has It's different ability
Diff clothing stores for the gender of your choice
Online ideas
Clothing store ideas and clothing
Character, class, few side missions
Character Creation
When first starting the game you can create your character, you can be a boy or girl (the gender you choose has effects on you gameplay)
Playing as a girl will alow you to well.... be a girl, storey will slightly change (Date missions will be with guys)
Effects:Girls can full on fight other girls, If you hit a boy you'll get in trouble and they'll run away cause boys can't hit girls but some boys aren't afriad to hit a girl. You get different animations such as standing, Walking, running, sprinting, fighting. Most clothing has drastically changed from guy to girl. voices are different ALSO when a prefect grabs you(If prefects are in Bully 2) they'll grab you by the both your wrists.Fighting
B:Slaps&Scratching, Finishers:Grabs a guy or girl but the shoulder and repeatedly slaps the left side of their face/head mercilessly
Y:Punches: Finishers:Punches the guy or girl in the throat
X:Kicks(Mostly aimed for the crotch/shin)&Shoves: Finishers:Kick to the groin/Shove to ground
Behind Finishers/Wedgie
You get the same things like Jimmy , you get different clothing, and voices,faces,hair, but you fight the same way as him.

Grand Theft Auto V is an upcoming open world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The game is set for release on 17 September 2013 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. It is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto IV was released in 2008, and is the 15th entry overall. As one of the last titles to release exclusively during the seventh generation of video game consoles, Grand Theft Auto V is highly anticipated.[8] The game is composed of elements from driving and action-adventure games, and features open world gameplay, in which players can interact with the game world at their leisure. The game is set within the fictional state of San Andreas, which is based on Southern California. Within San Andreas are the fictional city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles) and an open countryside area. The single-player story is told through three player-controlled protagonists whom the player switches between—Michael, Trevor and Franklin—and the story follows their efforts to plan and execute six large heists to accrue wealth for themselves. An online multiplayer mode is included, allowing up to 16 players to engage in both co-operative and competitive gameplay in a recreation of the single-player setting.

DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R: ATI's, err, AMD's RD600 finally arrivesby Gary Key on 12/16/2006 7:00 PM EST

baronzemo78 - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkI would like to thank Gary for all the hard work getting this preview out so fast. I am still very excited about this board. I'm waiting for the R600 anyway, so hopefully by then the stability and BIOS options of the board will have improved. I'm very curious to see if the R600 in crossfire will need more then the x8 pcie bandwith. I certainly hope it doesn't as an overclocked RD600 with a R600 sounds awesome to me. Anyway thanks again for the preview and keep up the good work. Reply
Lord Evermore - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkFirst page says SB600 offers multiple LAN ports, but SB600 has no LAN support, and the Marvell controllers are off the PCIe links from the northbridge.
It seems odd that ATI didn't design the SB600 with at least a couple of extra PCIe lanes. Right off the bat, this mainboard has zero upgradeability for PCIe devices, if you set up the intended dual graphics and physics cards. No hot new PCIe sound cards, TV tuners, SCSI cards.
SB600 automatically becomes a nice competitor to Intel's chipsets, due to the included PATA support, so there's no need for an add in PCI IDE controller. ATI/AMD's overview page though is a bit misleading, as they claim the built-in SATA controllers support "all RAID levels".
You're blaming DFI's board layout for large heatsinks not fitting into smaller cases? They had to put the socket somewhere, if that's the issue, and no matter where board makers put things, reviewers ALWAYS seem to find some complaint because of odd components not fitting or cabling not being perfect. And you didn't even mention those 90 degree angled SATA ports. I haven't seen that before. Might those not be an issue if you don't use a cable with a clip, since the downward pull of the cables is now going longways instead of across the width of the connector? (Same thing could apply to any SATA or IDE ports aligned perpendicular to the expansion slots really, but most boards don't have them that way that I've seen, possibly for that very reason.) Yeah I know, it might get mentioned in a more in-depth review, but that stands out more to me than 0.1% of the available heatsinks not fitting in a tiny case.
Why would the third PCIe slot need to be "jumpered for PCI Express card operation"?
That Promise RAID looks like crap. The single drive SB600 performance almost beats it. Why no benchmarks with the SB600 RAID, or the Intel or Nvidia RAID? It would be nice to know if ATI can beat the roughly 50% performance gain of the others.
Too bad this might be the only board ever made with this chipset, and that there won't be a more value-oriented line. I can do without the CrossFire support or the physics slot (although having the option of a non-graphics x8 or x2 slot with x16 physical support would be nice), and I can do with a reduction in the amount of tweaking options, or the add-in Promise controller, or dual LAN and the better audio solution. And the color scheme could be done without. I'm tempted by Core2Duo chips, but none of the other chipsets or boards really looks that great to me in terms of features. Reply
Gary Key - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkWith the latest beta BIOS release -
If you disable Promise and SB600 RAID you can use the second X16 slot (x8 electrical) for a RAID card, it will switch your first x16 slot from x16 to x8 operation.
The physics slot (x2 electrical) works fine with our x1 Network or TV Tuner cards once you switch the jumper now. This is required to change the operation of the slot based upon the switching mechanism employed with the future Physics setup.
I am not blaming DFI for large heatsinks not fitting in smaller cases. I was just pointing out the fact that it could be an issue for those that try it. I like the open space myself due to the offset but that creates another issue for some users. It is just information being provided.
The SB600 can support LAN depending upon how they configure it. DFI that it would be best for dual Lan coming off the RD600 instead.
The other RAID benchmarks are coming in our follow-up as stated in the article.
The 90 degree angled SATA ports are being used in most of the new board designs now. Look at most of the 680i boards and you will find they are being used extensively now. We did not have any issues with the cables slipping out. Reply

Thats why "we" just review the product, and not send them off to some salt mines, somewhere ;) This is after all, a review, everyone has an opinion, and if it doesn't bother you, simply disregard, and use common sense . . . Reply
Sh0ckwave - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkLooks like a decentn my cramped case. board. I just need to know if my Infinity will fit on it i Reply
cornfedone - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkFrom this initial review this mobo sure sounds temperamental and a shaky design if you see dramatic changes with BIOS settings and instability sometimes. The fact that it's performance changes radically with memory or CPU changes is not an indication of a stable mobo design.
More BIOS adjustments does not necessarily make for a better mobo design if all the options do is make the mobo unstable or crash. This is a typical case of more is not better. The extra options are used as a rationale to jack the price and increase profits from consumers who lack the technical expertise to understand the motivation for such useless BIOS options.
As far as the ATI/AMD labels go, I don't know why many in the online enthusiasts PC hardware segment make such a big deal out of AMD renaming the ATI products with AMD labels. Every company I know of that has bought another company, renames the products, so this ain't no big deal. If you don't like the product don't buy it. The name of the product has no impact on how it performs. Reply
mino - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkAlso on the maning "issue".
Most sites "big deal out of AMD renaming the ATI products" not because ot the renaming - no problem there.
The thing is, one of the best chipsets/if not THE best for Intel comming form AMD, well, that IS something.
Also remember, AMD chipset ? That has not been in the consumer market for LONG time. At the same note, most average people have no idea that X200=X3200IE=RD600 and is from the RD480line... to those (aned there are many of them!) this is a big deal as they do not have to dig the info themselves.
Also, at least to me, seeing it makes me smile usually... Reply
mino - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkmaning==naming Reply
mino - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkWell, at first You should understand what "temperamental when messing with BIOS" and temaperamental at "stock" means.
When the board is "temperamental" when messing with BIOS, ti means YOU are messing with something you have no idea what it is or what it does!
If you do not understand what overclocking really means, do NOT overclock at all.
Overclocking is about running things "one the edge" ... and to find that "edge" you NEED to be able to push the board over it.
To be able to do so is a dream of an overclocker as it enables him to get most performance from any set of components.
I love those dumbass "overclockers" who assemble a mid-range machine, install some ClockGen-like utility, overclock it until it becomes unstable and consider themselves "overclockers".
To topic:
More boards should offer those, it is far more usefull and safe than overvolt jet most boards do not offer it... ;-( Reply

SilthDraeth - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkI had USB Keyboard problems on DFI ATI motherboard for A64. It seems it is a semi common problem on DFI Boards, or maybe it is just unique to my board and this new one. Reply
JKing76 - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkOn power draw alone this chipset wins with me. And the serious undervolting potential. Reply
phusg - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkDefinitely! Although not a popular topic. The VCore is seriously undervoltable (to 0.44V), but what about the other settings? I still holding on to Athlon XPs at the moment so I'm that familiar with the rest. DDR2 is already 1.5V at stock isn't it? Reply
yyrkoon - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - linkWould have been nice to have seen ALL of the capabilities of this board/chipsets, instead of something that plays out more like a TV commercial.
To be honest, I have no desire buy any of DFI's products, I'm more interested in this so called "NIC Teaming" implementation on the RD600 chipset. Yeah, anyhow, guess I'll have to look elsewhere for my information . .right ? Reply
Gary Key - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - link

I did not think TV commercials discussed product issues? ;-> We are sorry you feel this way but the article was a performance preview. We will expand the coverage on the follow-up as stated one too many times in the article. :) Reply
yyrkoon - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkJust label me cranky, Ill get over it, would still like to know about the actual teaming support :( Reply
Gary Key - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkI am still working on the Teaming capability. I was provided with a new utility from Marvell that allowed a seamless setup. Hopefully, I can get the standard test run tonight on it. Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkOh, and if what I've read comes into fruition, PCI-E 2.0 PCI-E to PCI-E communications is still 3 quaters off, then YEEEHAAAW, 5Gbit/s, asynchronous multi-link connections ! Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - linkSweet, don't suppose we could get a sneak preview here of the results ? ;)
My motivation concerning this is simple: I've been doing a lot of experimentation with iSCSI, and for people like me, who can not afford FC networking, or 10GbE, it would be really awesome for "us" to have some form of TCP/IP implemented networking that allowed for greater than 128MB/s. I already have serious plans for iSCSI, and having a technology like this, that actually worked in its favor would be a very good thing (the only thing for that matter). Reply

Perhaps you should look again. Reply
lplatypus - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkI was referring to the description of the article on the anandtech.com front page:
We provide a quick performance preview of DFI's latest LANParty motherboard and wonder what will become of the RD600...
Goty - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkPerhaps you should read the article again and realize that they're going to do a few follow-up articles. There's also the fact that the last section is called "Initial Thoughts". Reply
Avalon - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - link511FSB max for $229 doesn't sound that impressive to me. I can get a $110 Biostar 965PT to do that. Hopefully a newer BIOS will allow much higher FSB clocks. Nevertheless, I don't think this board will be for me anymore. Reply
Goty - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkThat is possibly the most shortsighted comment I've heard in the past week. You aren't buying this motherboard just for the stated maximum FSB, you're buying it for the amazing feature set, you're buying it for the memory clock that's not coupled to the FSP, you buy it for the fact that it performs about the same as the other high-end chipsets (not the midrange P965), and you buy it for the incredible tweaking possibilities. The Biostar board is that cheap because it has NONE of these things going for it. Reply
Avalon - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkYou are full of crap. Just because a board has more features than another doesn't make it the best out there. The networking features I won't use, and a decoupled memory clock doesn't seem to do squat for REAL WORLD performance. At the end of the day, it's all about the CPU clocks, and this board AT THIS TIME (note I said I'd be looking forward to future BIOS releases, please try reading my posts before exploding into DFI ass kiss mode) does not seem to offer any significant advantages over other good boards.
So again, I ask why I should spend $229 for this board when I can get similar CPU overclocking performance for $110-$115? Sorry, but memory and FSB tweaks that account for a few percent in benchmarks are not going to sway me from the $100+ savings. Not worth it IMO. This board will not be for me, but for the benchmark enthusiast. Reply
Goty - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkOh, and another thing, I'm interested in finding out how you can say the decoupling the memory clock from the FSB seems to provide no performance gain when benchmarking of different memory speeds at a constant FSB hasn't even been done yet. Reply
Goty - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkNot once did I say that this board was the best out there, I said it had the best feature set. You're telling me the board isn't worth the money because you can buy a cheaper board that overclocks similarly. I say that there are people out there who genuinely want the features of this chipset (me being one of them) and people who will use them. Just because you won't use the features doesn't mean that the board is not worth the money, it's just not worth it to you. Reply
Avalon - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkFunny, I don't remember telling YOU that YOUR opinion should be the board isn't worth the money. I said it isn't worth it to ME. Way to restate what I said. Reply
Goty - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkWell, as long as we're both doing it, then I guess we're even, eh? Reply
cmdrdredd - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - linkWho says 511 is max? Also who said it wasn't a limitation of the CPU or other components not being able to do that type of FSB? Reply
cmdrdredd - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - linkthis board is not retail yet...511 is max for this beta/pre-release perhaps...but I bet the final will allow much higher. Plus, you see p965 boards allow you to select 550fsb and can't do it so it seems dumb to base a buying decision on what the bios allows you to choose but won't boot. Reply
Gary Key - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkThe clockgen limits the FSB to 511 and memory to 658. The board is maxed out at these settings. As we stated in the article, the AMD System Manager lets you soft overclock but we could never get above 518FSB without locking the system up. DFI did hit 535+ in their labs with the soft clock routine but that was on a early BIOS release. Reply
RichUK - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - linkIf the chipset requires high voltage then fair enough. But at least allow us to upgrade the heatsink on the chipset. Due to the design, I don't quite see any other aftermarket heatsink that will fit its profile. I would have wished they used a design similar to the way Asus fix their heatsink assembly to the board.
Or they could have just used an active cooling solution!
With all that put aside, I'll still be purchasing this board as soon as I can!
Hopefully DFI won't take long in releasing a BIOS that allows upwards of 500+ FSB from the BIOS. I want to get the max performance from my E6300!
I also don't understand why they're having so many issues with the BIOS coding :S Reply
Griswold - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkActive cooling? Been to the official DFI forums lately? People dont want active chipset cooling if it can be avoided. Reply
RichUK - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - link
Active cooling? Been to the official DFI forums lately? People dont want active chipset cooling if it can be avoided.
Neither do I.
However, if you're required to further cool the chipset when under high voltage to obtain a higher FSB. Then maybe a better solution could have been implemented in the first place.
I thought I made that quite clear.
Lord Evermore - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkWhy increase cost for everyone, and add more complexity and provide an opportunity for a higher failure rate, to add a feature that many people might not want or need, and which likely will be a detraction from the quality of the board to many people? People don't like fans on chipsets, period. There was a phase of those for a few years being used on every board, even if the chipset didn't particularly need it, and all that happened is people complained about fans failing, whiny noisy fans, dust collection, etc. Reply
Goty - Sunday, December 17, 2006 - linkI think a good solution to this would be to include an <i>optional</i> fan for cooling the NB. Reply
Lord Evermore - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkThat'd make the price even higher, since they'd be including a heatsink designed to work well on its own, as well as either a fan alone, or a heatsink fan assembly if the standard heatsink isn't designed for airflow with attached, or with no way to attach it.
The solution is for people to screw a fan on the chipset if they want extra cooling beyond what is actually quite a high overclock with the standard heatsink.
However DFI could still have used a more standard and easily replaced retention mechanism. Of course there's always still thermal tape, epoxy or zip ties. Reply
RichUK - Monday, December 18, 2006 - linkYou seem to have missed the focus point of my initial comment. I didn't insist DFI implement an active cooling solution, rather a more adequate solution.
Atleast you somewhat agree with my original immediate argument:
However DFI could still have used a more standard and easily replaced retention mechanism. Of course there's always still thermal tape, epoxy or zip ties.
I never wanted an active cooling solution, never. However, I had hoped DFI would implement a solution that would exceed the requirements for cooling this chipset. Hopefully this point will be moot when I receive my board, and when I receive my board I won't have to do any sort of cooling modding.
yacoub - Saturday, December 16, 2006 - linkActually most folks will be extremely pleased to see DFI finally move away from the godawful mobo chipset mini-fans. Those dinky fans are noisy and generally die very young . They cause more trouble than they're worth (hence why you see the vast majority of motherboards today have moved to passive cooling / heatpipe setups). Not only is a heatpipe setup quieter, it's also much lower maintenance. Reply
