kensiko - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkLOL it's like the current Marvell SATA 6Gbps controller, it doesn't perform well at all. Reply
r3loaded - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkYou'd have though they'd at least use PCIe 3.0 to avail of the 1GB/s transfer speed on that single lane. Reply
therealnickdanger - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkI don't think this means the whole device is limited to x1. If I understand the article properly, EACH controller uses an x1 connection. Instead of have a x16 card with SATA connections to each NAND module, they could have an x16 card with 16 x1 connections to NAND modules.
"the first platform to use it will feature an array of these controllers behind a PCIe switch"
I read this to mean that there will be multiple x1 controllers working together for a single drive likely configurable to x4, x8, or even x16 arrays. If each controller addresses its own NAND before being processed in a RAID-like fashion, then this could be one beast of a device.
I could be optimistic and be projecting a little here, but anything less than that seems like a complete step backward. Reply
therealnickdanger - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkLooks like I was correct - completely scalable from x1 to x16:

Death666Angel - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkThe x1 limitation is indeed strange. And I'm not in the market for such a thing anyway. But it's an interesting product and someway down the line we'll maybe see 50 to 100GB NAND on the mainboard for the OS with such a device. :-) Reply
xdrol - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkOne module uses 1x interface.
16 module uses 16x interface. Reply
Death666Angel - Saturday, January 07, 2012 - linkStill seems counter intuitive to me. Why would anyone ever need X1 when that can be saturated by SATA3 already. All this does is add more PCB space and silicon cost. Why not go x4 already? Oh well, I'm no chip designer... Reply
jjj - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkMarvell was talking recently about PCIe based SSDs in Ultrabooks next year,maybe it's related to the x1 issue just not very sure how yet (no idea how many PCIe lines IB Ultrabooks will have. Reply
jjj - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkPS: next year as in this year Reply
jjj - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkThe Marvell press release has a bit more info http://investor.marvell.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=120802... Reply
NickB. - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkDoesn't a single PCIE 2.0 channel max at 500MB (Bytes, not bits) per second, in each direction... and doesn't SATA 3 max at about 600MB total? Seems *a little* apple/orange-ish to me, but anyway...
The thing I'm curious about is latency. For a normal PCIE-SSD to get between the processor and the flash you go to the onboard chipset, to the PCIE chip on the SSD, which then passes to the SATA based controller. Sure savings for the mfr's in component counts will be a bonus, and this setup should use less power, but there should be some improvement in latency as well.
Also, isn't there a PCIE interface directly on the Sandy and Ivy Bridge chips? In most of the architecture diagrams I've seen it shows it as an x16 interface for graphics cards but is there anything keeping someone from using that for an SSD - like, say, in an Ultrabook that uses the integrated graphics anyway? Reply
xdrol - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkOCZ's previous PCIe-SSD cards had a PCIe 4x interface - they can build such a card with 4 modules. That is a total of 2 GB/s, versus SATA3's 600 MB/s.
And nothing stops them to make a 16x card (8 GB/s).
See the fig 2 at the bottom of the article - 8 modules on a PCIe 8x card. Reply
NickB. - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkYup, I think that might have been added after I posted... or I just missed it :)
Either way, this is interesting. Could be an alternative to mSATA... maybe?
Maybe it's wrong of me, but for some reason I have it in my head that this could allow for the disk equivalent of moving the memory management onto the CPU from the motherboard chipset. CPU->SSD Controller direct via PCIE for up to 128GB... or CPU->PCIE Switch->SSD Controller for over 128GB. I keep thinking that this could give you a screaming fast machine because of the latency improvements... but if not, at the very least it could allow for cheaper SSD-based machines with the storage built into the motherboard. Reply
ericloewe - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkApple uses those PCI-E lanes for graphics (8x) and Thunderbolt controllers (4x per controller, allowing up to two as in the big iMac)
So, I'd say they can be used for everything, which makes sense intuitively. Graphics benefit a lot because they're high-bandwidth, very low latency, but storage should benefit just as much. Reply
MGSsancho - Saturday, January 07, 2012 - linkPlus it allows for much flexability in configurations for many companies. Not every product ship will saturate all lanes 100% of the time. A server might need those PCIe lanes for storage and network while abandoning display adapters. Reply
Matysek - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkwe're doomed. Reply
FunBunny2 - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkWhat do you mean We, Kiemosabe? Reply
FunBunny2 - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkMy recollection of PCIe SSD (at least, Fusion-io variety) was that the card was (to some delta) just raw NAND, with a software "controller" loaded to main storage and executed by the cpu. This off-load was a (still?) source of controversy.
Anand: how about a refresher on how PCIe SSD are implemented? Frankly, this doesn't make sense. Reply
nubie - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkAt a consumer level this makes perfect sense.
Extra lanes on an entry level motherboard are going to be x1 only, same for laptops on Mini-PCIe.
I am hoping there will be x1 and mini-pcie versions, you could make some very svelte ITX or wearable PC's if it was in that form factor.
Don't forget that small and quick is sometimes a goal, not just blazing speed above all else. This is a good baby step, you have to start somewhere, KISS is a good principle. Reply
MGSsancho - Saturday, January 07, 2012 - linkExactly, Or mobos with 4x lanes. Reply
toyotabedzrock - Friday, January 06, 2012 - linkAnd how are these individual controllers pooled together as a single storage medium?
If there is no hardware to handle this the CPU will end up limiting it a bit. Reply
iamkyle - Monday, February 13, 2012 - linkMarvell's involvement already puts a sour taste in my mouth.
If you have one of their SATA3 controllers on your motherboard, you'll know why. Reply

Kentucky too much for Florida women's basketball
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Junior Jaterra Bonds scored a season-high 21 points, freshman January Miller scored a career-best 17 points and senior Jennifer George posted her 25th career double-double, but Florida fell just short at No. 6 Kentucky, 76-69, on Thursday in the league opener for both teams.
Florida (11-4, 0-1 SEC) was within two points, 60-58, with 6:03 left, but went cold from the floor, missing its next six shots, and the Wildcats (13-1, 1-0 SEC) took advantage by scoring six straight points and led 66-58 with 3:18 remaining.
UK made 4-of-6 free throws in the final 20 seconds to secure its 30th consecutive win in Memorial Coliseum, as well as its program-record 12th straight overall.
"I thought our players fought really, really hard and in the second half did a great job of taking care of the basketball," UF head coach Amanda Butler said.
"You have to give Kentucky a lot of credit. This building is really hard to win in, and I thought we put up a great fight. There are a lot of positives for us to move forward into our next battle."
Bonds tied a program-record by hitting 11-of-11 free throws, while Miller hit 5-of-7 from the floor. George recorded 14 points, a game-high 11 rebounds with a game-high three steals for the Gators, who committed just three turnovers in the second half after 16 in the opening 20 minutes. Florida held a 40-36 rebounding edge in the game.
A'dia Mathies, last year's SEC Player of the Year, scored 20 points for Kentucky to lead four Wildcats in double-figure scoring.
Florida returns to action on Sunday when the Gators play host to LSU in the O'Connell Center where tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

When I record old analog synthesizers that do not have MIDI or CV control (like my Roland SH3) I often use a Chopper plug-in to make the synth sync rhythmically. An example where I did this is my song Sex Machine. The main driving bassline is actually the SH3 playing a solid note being chopped into 8th notes (audio sample below)
I recorded that song using Cubase SX3 which has a built-in plug-in called "Chopper". But Ableton Live doesn't have a dedicated Chopper plug-in. For Chopper duties in Live select the Auto Pan! If you want a triangle wave cutting your audio into 8th notes like in the Sex Machine audio sample below put Auto Pan on the track you want chopped, choose the Chopper preset and input these settings: Amount: 100%, Rate: 1/8, Phase: 0.00°, Shape: 100%
Of course there are many free and third party chopper, gate, trance freakout plug-ins you can also use. What's your method?

(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has been published in novel form by Pocket Books since 1993 in the USA, the UK, and the Republic of Ireland under license from Paramount Pictures.
Summary Edit
Pocket Books was the first publisher given license by Paramount to produce a series of original novels and episode novelizations based on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. All DS9 novels, technical publications and adaptations have been part of this ongoing series. Most of the numbered novels take place during the first four seasons of the series.
Post-finale novelsEdit
The majority of novels being written now form part of the so-called Star Trek: Deep Space Nine relaunch, which picks up the story after the end of the filmed series and has become extremely popular with readers. Michael Okuda created the new logo for the post-"What You Leave Behind" novels, which began in 2001. The original DS9 logo is used for literature that is set during the series, such as the 2003 anthology Prophecy and Change and the 2005 novel Hollow Men. The Lives of Dax anthology was originally published in 1999 with the classic DS9 logo, but was republished in 2003 with the relaunch logo.
Marco Palmieri commented on the inspiration for the post-finale novels: "It's not an undertaking for the timid. DS9 was a very complex, tightly written, character-driven serial with, I think, a well-deserved reputation for excellence in storytelling. You need to be crazy or arrogant to think you can transition that sort of entertainment experience from television to novels. It's probably fair to say l'm two out of two. When DS9 ended in 1999 with no expectation of it being revisited on screen in any form for the foreseeable future, it represented an amazing opportunity for the fiction to continue where a show had left off – to offer its fans a vision of what happened next. We wanted it to be a true continuation, chronicling events that, like those on the TV series, would be fraught with consequences and free of resets". (Voyages of Imagination)
Palmieri describes the development of the post-finale novels thusly: "It took two years to get from "What You Leave Behind" to Avatar. The first step was to develop a loose narrative framework for the novels, what I like to call a metastory: something that was tight enough to give them all a shared creative direction, but roomy and flexible enough to accommodate sudden inspirations or unexpected twists. The new fiction had to be grounded in how the TV series had unfolded, and the journeys of the established characters, but still dare to imagine where those arcs might lead. We wanted the novels to stay as close as possible to the tone and texture of the TV series while still presenting the audience with something new.". (Voyages of Imagination)
As well as featuring the characters from the television series and bringing Ro Laren into the series, the post-finale novels introduced brand new characters, such as Elias Vaughn, Taran'atar, Thirishar ch'Thane, Prynn Tenmei and Sam Bowers among others. Marco Palmieri commented: "Sisko, Odo, O'Brien, and Worf had moved on, along with a good percentage of the rich supporting cast, including every villain the show had. As a fan, I felt those losses acutely. As an editor developing new DS9 fiction, I was excited by the prospect of the remaining characters dealing with those losses – or failing to – and by the opportunity to introduce prominent new characters into the mix, both of which were hallmarks of the TV series. It would allow the new fiction to demonstrate from the very first page that it would dare to move forward, and do so boldly. I think DS9 fans generally have an appreciation for that sort of evolution in an ongoing story, since the TV series itself introduced new starring characters through the years, while simultaneously adding and elevating numerous supporting players to a near-equal level of prominence. Filling the voids created by the characters who had been written out of the story on TV wasn't simply necessary, it was staying true to the spirit of the TV series. And it was a great opportunity to create a new group dynamic where we could explore and learn about the new kids on the block, and explore the old ones in new ways". (Voyages of Imagination)
Palmieri also added: "I thought it was important to bring new voices, new ideas, and contrasting sensibilities into the mix. The work is definitely more challenging that way, but ultimately more rewarding, I think. With that in mind, I reached out to authors I thought would get the new novels off to a good start. It was a gamble. Just because DS9 was no longer on the air, that didn't mean that a future Next Generation movie, or some upcoming Voyager or Enterprise episode, wouldn't eventually establish something that would contradict some aspect of the new books. But that's the risk with every Star Trek story, and it's been that way since Day One. No author or editor can make creative decisions based on fear. If you really want to do something you think is cool, you need to be willing to seize and opportunity when it presents itself, roll the dice, and take your chances. We were fortunate in that the entire endeavor was supported from its inception by the studio: Paula Block in particular, my contact with the licensed publishing office, really got behind the project, and for that I'll always be grateful". (Voyages of Imagination)
The post-finale novels became known to Ira Steven Behr, who commented in 2002: "I believe that the future [of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine] lies in these books that I hear they are doing to continue it". ("Deep Space Memoirs", TV Zone magazine, issue 50)

THE week of miraculous comebacks has spawned another – even the Magician Shaun Murphy won't be able to believe how he managed to turn this match his way.
It will go down in the legend of the williamhill.com UK Championship's greatest comebacks.
A frame away from exiting, Murphy trailed Ali Carter 8-4 and looked down and out before reeling off five on the spin to clutch victory from the jaws of almost certain defeat.
He'd suffered some horrific luck – two outrageous flukes giving the Essex player two frames in the afternoon session – but he had also repeatedly handed away the advantage. Too many times he had been in among the balls and let a careless shot be his undoing. He looked buried.
Carter, meanwhile, had been ruthless and, with that four-frame advantage, was a massive favourite to make tomorrow's final. But the interval seemed to do something to him. The realisation he was just a frame from victory appeared to put him on the defensive.
He turned down a difficult, but pottable, black that would have put him in early command of the 13th frame and, after that went Murphy's way, he then spurned a red into the bottom pocket in the next.
Murphy had no such qualms – smashing it in on his way to trailing by just two frames.
Another terrific long pot paved the way for Murphy's most beautiful break of the match, a masterful 105 that brought him within one of Carter and he levelled with a fantastic 78, marked by a wonderful cut red into the middle pocket, in the next.
Nerves abounded in a dramatic final frame. Both players had chances – Carter breaking down on 28 after missing a red with the rest and Murphy running out of position when getting his nose barely in front.
In the end it was Murphy with the better nerve, just. He drained an outstanding red to the middle but almost overcut the black – the ball wobbling in the jaws before dropping and sending the world number four into ecstasy.
Carter had gone into the evening session 5-3 ahead and it was tough, combative snooker that had pushed him into the ascendancy. That said, he'd also had more than a slice of luck.
Murphy looked deadly from range, firing in a succession of outstanding pots throughout the session, but the pair were locked at 2-2 at the break – Carter's 77 answered with 89.
Carter then moved 4-2 ahead following a century in the sixth.
Aiming to slot a red into the middle pocket, he hit the ball at pace and watched as it came back off the jaws and fell into a baulk pocket.
What followed though was a majestic 101. Fighting to keep the cue ball under control, particularly early in the break, Carter sunk a series of excellent shots to take full advantage of his fortune.
Murphy has talked this week about going back to his attacking roots and playing the kind of aggressive snooker that helped him burst onto the scene in such amazing fashion when winning the World Championship seven years ago.
In the seventh frame, the Barbican crowd saw exactly what he meant. A brilliant long red, stunning the white to hold for the pink, opened up a Murphy showreel of crowd-pleasing efforts.
But if Carter couldn't cope with the ball striking masterclass from Murphy, he was clearly winning the safety battle early on.
Even so, he needed another slice of fortune to take the last frame of the afternoon when an attempted safety saw the red pass across the table and drop into a corner pocket.
A battle royale was anticipated in the evening.
It was Carter, however, who threatened to overwhelm Murphy. He could have won all four frames before the break but settled for three – runs of 79, 80 and 40 leaving him only one frame short of the winning line.
The interval came at the worst possible time, though, and a revitalised Murphy waved his cue Harry Potter-style to execute a wonderful recovery.

WILTSHIRE men are through to the Middleton Cup quarter-finals but only after edging out Warwickshire in a nail-biting final group match last Saturday away in Rugby.
They snatched a one shot victory on the last end of the match as Russell Francis, with the overall scores tied, held his nerve to draw shot on a measure with the last wood of the match and give Wiltshire a 113-112 victory.
Rink honours were shared 3-3 to give each side six points.
But that last effort from Francis gave Wiltshire the crucial ten points on offer for the overall shots win to enable them to claim top spot in their west group and qualify for the quarter-finals against Devon, winners of the other section in the west group.
The match was tight throughout with Warwickshire 29-27 ahead after five ends across the board, but Wiltshire edging in front by two shots 53-51 at ten.
Warwickshire edged ahead again to lead 82-81 at 15 ends and 102-98 at 18 before Wiltshire rallied to grab a last gasp one shot victory with the very last wood.
Wiltshire had to win the away game by at least 14 points to eight, which they just did, to guarantee top spot in their west group above Worcestershire and a quarter-final spot again.
Wiltshire win the group on 48 points, Worcestershire are second on 41, Gloucestershire have 26 and last are Warwickshire on 17.
"A brilliant, brilliant performance," said an elated Wiltshire team manager Dave Snell.
"It could not have been a tighter finish, all square going into the very last end, one bowl left to draw the shot.
"What a tight game throughout I don't think at any stage there was more than nine shots in the match.
"After 18 ends Wilts were four down with Graham Shadwell's rink dropping a seven but were covered by the other rinks, after 20 ends Wilts go two up. Then that last fantastic end by Russell Francis to draw the winning shot for Wilts to win 113-112 and by 16 points to six points."
Snell added: "It was another battling performance from the Moonrakers with Mel Biggs' rink down 23 - 6 after 14 ends and fighting back to the end only losing by four shots. Mike Jackson and Ben Gadd's rinks always looked like they would win and between them managed a 13 shot difference.
"Neil Smith's rink battled all the way and just went down by one shot while Graham Shadwell's rink after dropping the seven on the 18th end to go three behind won the last three ends to win by two."
Snell added: "This is four years in a row that Wiltshire have reached the quarter-final stage of the competition which certainly shows consistency combined with a team spirit second to none.
"We now have our friends from Devon to play again, a repeat of last year's quarter final but this time at West Backwell, North Somerset, next Saturday, July 19."
Rink 1: Wayne Simmonds (Holt), Chris Cheesley, Dave Godwin (both Wootton Bassett) & Russell Francis (Spencer Moulton) lost to Dan Box 13-22. Rink 2: Tom Warner, Nick Revell (both Amesbury), Wayne Snook & Ben Gadd (both Holt) beat Alan Aspey 19-12. Rink 3: Gary Jackson (Westlecot), Craig Doughty (Holt), Steve Snell (WB) & Graham Shadwell (S Moulton) beat Colin Jacox 24-22. Rink 4: Kyle Anderson (WB), Justin Davis (Holt), Graham Hatherall & Mel Biggs (both West) lost to Andy Smith 19-23. Rink 5: Paul Kistle, Mike Richards, Ian Jefferies & Mike Jackson (all West) beat Steve Taylor 19-13. Rink 6: Kevin Embling (West), Keith Bailey (Holt), Gary Morphet & Neil Smith (both WB) lost to Calvin Wells 19-20.
Score: Wiltshire beat Warwickshire 113 (16pts) – 112 (6pts)
THE COUNTY men's junior side recorded another win this season in the South-West Counties U25 league with victory over Cornwall at Taunton last weekend.
They won by 31 shots as they ran out 74-43 winners despite only taking the honours on one of the three rinks with Kyle Anderson's quartet recording a massive 43-9 victory.
Wiltshire face Somerset, who they beat in a friendly at the start of the season in their next SWCL at Chippenham on Saturday (2pm).
Rink 1: John Hermon (Garrards), Jake Webster (Westlecot), James Richman (Highworth) & Tom Warner (Amesbury) lost 16-19. Rink 2: David Murray (Rodbourne Cheney), Jamie Shadwell (Spencer Moulton), Gary Jackson (Westlecot) & Kyle Anderson (Wootton Bassett) won 43-9. Rink 3: Ashley Plumb (Amesbury), Adam Bolwell (Holt), Matt Daniell (WB) & Michael Titcombe Jnr (Westlecot) drew 15-15.
Score: Wiltshire beat Cornwall 74-43.
SWC v Somerset Saturday July 12 (at Chippenham Town 2pm), Rink 1: Craig Hatherall (West), Craig Morphet (High), T Warner (Ames) & Michael Richards (West). Rink 2: A Plumb (Ames), J Richman (High), M Titcombe (West) & K Anderson (WB). Rink 3: A Bolwell (Holt), J Shadwell (S M); G Jackson (West) & Nick Revell (Ames).
Development Rinks v Somerset, Rink 1: Sheldon Warren (West), Nathan Richards (West End), Ben Choules (High) & D Murray (Rod C). Rink 2: J Webster (West), Tom Newman (Trowbridge Westbourne), J Hermon (Garrards) & David Leighfield (Alderbury).
THE quarter-finals in the county men's national singles championship played on Monday at Chippenham Town produced another hard-fought battle between Graham Shadwell (Spencer Moulton) and Mel Biggs (Westlecot).

By Tom Withers | Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Mike Pettine is getting a second look from the Browns, who could be zeroing in on their next coach.
Buffalo's defensive coordinator is having a second interview with Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner on Tuesday night, a person familiar with the Browns' plans told The Associated Press. The meeting is taking place in Mobile, Ala., site of the Senior Bowl, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting during its search.
Pettine impressed the Browns during Thursday's first interview, and if his second meeting goes well, the team may be able to end a search that has dragged into its fourth week.
The fact that Haslam and Banner traveled to meet with Pettine indicates the team has strong interest in making him their seventh full-time coach since 1999.
Pettine just completed his first year with the Bills, and the team improved on defense. Though the Bills still struggled against the run, they finished second in the NFL with a franchise-record 57 sacks.
The 47-year-old Pettine spent four seasons as a defensive coordinator under Rex Ryan with the New York Jets before joining the Bills. Pettine also has worked as an assistant in Baltimore.
Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas hopes Pettine stays put.
"Hey #Browns leave our DC alone," Thomas posted on his Twitter account.
Earlier, Adam Gase, Denver's highly regarded offensive coordinator, called Haslam and informed him he was withdrawing his name and would not interview after the Super Bowl.
The 35-year-old Gase, who will lead the Broncos' high-powered offense against Seattle, was the first candidate contacted by the Browns after they fired Chudzinski following a 4-12 season. Gase declined an initial interview request because he wanted to concentrate on the playoffs, and the Browns would have had to wait until after Feb. 2 to speak with him.
Haslam said last week the team is "prepared to wait as long as necessary" to hire a coach, and the Browns quickly moved ahead without Gase, who enjoys his role with the Broncos and may not be ready for a head coaching gig.
The Browns are the only team without a head coach and have interviewed at least eight known candidates -- the list is still growing -- to become their fourth coach in the past six years.
Besides Pettine, the team has set up a second interview with Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
The 43-year-old Quinn, who presided over the NFL's top-rated defense this season, met with the Browns on Jan. 1. Per NFL rules, the Browns can conduct a second interview with Quinn by Sunday, but are not permitted to offer him a job until after the Seahawks' season is over.
Gase drew the Browns' attention and soared up their wish list of candidates after helping quarterback Peyton Manning shatter several league records this season. Also, Haslam received a glowing recommendation on Gase from Manning, who has a long-standing relationship with the Haslam family because of their Tennessee ties.
Gase, too, fit the outline -- young, offensive-minded -- of the type of coach Banner wanted to bring to the Browns, who have lost at least 11 games in each of the past six seasons.
Gase is the second high-profile coach to remove his name from consideration. New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels also told the Browns he was not interested in pursuing their opening.
The Browns also have interviewed former Tennessee coach Mike Munchak and Dallas special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, and both be brought back for second meetings.
The team also plans to meet with Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said he has been contacted by the Browns about members of his staff. Cleveland may want to interview defensive line coach Jim Tomsula or offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Harbaugh would not confirm which coaches Cleveland asked about and was reluctant to offer much information.
"To go into any further detail, I don't think helps our situation, their situation," he said. "Their search is their search."

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - The Volusia County man charged with second-degree murder in his wife's disappearance was given no bond on Tuesday at his first appearance.
31-year-old Luis Toledo, the man at the center of the disappearance case of his wife, 28-year-old Yessenia Suarez, and her two children, was charged with second-degree murder on Monday night.
At his first appearance, Toldeo stared at his wife's family sobbing in the room.
Investigators said Toledo admitted to them he was arguing with Suarez Tuesday night, hitting her in the throat. He told deputies because of his training in martial arts, the blow killed her, but won't say where her body is.
On the morning of Suarez's disappearance, a neighbor says he followed Toledo to a Lake Mary grocery story where he says Toledo abandoned his wife's car.
No charges have been filed yet related to missing 8-year-old Michael Otto and 9-year-old Thalia Otto.
Toledo said someone else was involved in the death of Thalia and Michael, according to deputies.
Although the search for the three bodies is ongoing, Suarez and her two children, who vanished last week from their Deltona home, are presumed dead.
The search also continued on Tuesday for the missing family's bodies after deputies took a break on Monday to refocus. Suarez's family said they were upset about investigators stopping the search for the day.
Suarez's family tells Local 6 their focus is on Deltona and abandoned properties. The family said they will go out and search around the Lake Monroe area.

There could yet be life in Sichuan Hanlong's drawn-out $1.4 billion takeover bid for Australian iron ore play Sundance Resources.
China's all-powerful National Development and Reform Commission has extended its provisional approval for the privately-owned Hanlong to proceed by six months, on the condition it teams up with a larger Chinese partner with "sufficient capability" to develop Sundance's Mbalam project on the Cameroon border with Congo.
In a welcome bit of clarity for shareholders frustrated at the lack of timely information throughout the takeover process – which has dragged on for more than 18 months – Sundance Resources said in a statement to the stock exchange late on Thursday that Hanlong must secure the agreement with a large Chinese partner in order for the state-run China Development Bank to commit to funding the takeover.
Hanlong is confident that discussions are advanced enough for a partnership – understood to be with a state-owned enterprise – to be clinched in time for a March 26 deadline. But the group has missed similar deadlines before, including one just last week.
Under the latest iteration of the takeover scheme timetable, the deal is slated to conclude in May.
But on top of the time required for Hanlong to confirm a deal with a Chinese partner, the deal will also need regulatory approvals from China's Ministry of Commerce and State Administration of Foreign Exchange, as well as a final tick off from the NDRC.
Shares in Sundance Resources are in a trading halt, last trading at 34¢, a significant discount to the 45¢ offer price.
Sundance investors have been frustrated by the takeover process, which saw Hanlong drop its takeover offer mid-way after commodity prices fell sharply last year.
Hanlong has since struggled to secure funding from the CDB, despite the bank's prominent role in financing Chinese investments in Africa.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - More than 3,300 children with disabilities are at risk of being pushed into adult nursing homes because the state is slashing nursing and other services that would otherwise keep them at home with their families, according to a lawsuit filed against state health officials.
The lawsuit mirrors a letter sent this week by federal officials to Attorney General Pam Bondi alleging Florida is violating federal law by allowing more than 200 children with disabilities and even babies to be kept in nursing homes, often for years.
The suit and federal regulators say children languish in facilities, sharing common areas with elderly patients and have few interactions with others, rarely leaving the nursing homes or going outside. After visiting children in six nursing homes, investigators noted the children are not exposed to social, educational and recreational activities that are critical to child development. Educational opportunities are limited to as little as 45 minutes a day, according to a detailed letter sent Tuesday by U.S. Department of Justice officials.
"These kids who are institutionalized in geriatric nursing homes are receiving less services than kids in prison," said Paolo Annino, a law professor at Florida State University and one of the attorneys working on the lawsuit filed against the state earlier this year in Miami federal court.
Investigators also said Florida is violating the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and are infringing on their civil rights by segregating and isolating the children. The average length of stay is three years, according to the letter.
Once they do get to the facility, many stay for years, some literally grow up in a nursing home, according to the letter. One nursing home staffer told investigators "once we get the children, very few of them go home."
The letter gives the state 10 days to respond. If the state does not comply voluntarily, then the U.S. Attorney General may initiate a lawsuit under the federal disability act.
Bondi's office deferred comment Friday to state health officials named in the letter.
Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration said it is impossible to formally rebut the letter's findings yet because they haven't seen the documents it is based on. The state said in a statement it was providing "medically necessary" care and would likely deny any wrongdoing if it decides to take legal action.
While the suit and federal regulators claimed that more than 20 percent of the children in nursing homes were wards of the state, officials with the Department of Children & Families disputed that.
"All the kids we found were desperately ill or severely disabled children in special pediatric facilities only and not in adult facilities," according to a statement.
Meanwhile, parents say they are desperately fighting to get services to keep their children at home.
The waiting list for services at home or in the community has jumped from 14,629 in 2005 to more than 21,000 in 2012, with more than half waiting longer than five years. Currently, state policy does not give priority on the waiting list to children in nursing homes, federal officials said.
Despite the lengthy wait, the number of children actually enrolled in these programs has decreased by several thousand over the last several years. That is "resulting in a growing list of children waiting years for services and having access to a waiver slot only once they have literally detiorated to the point of crisis," according to the letter.
At the same time, the state turned down nearly $40 million in federal dollars for a program that transitions people from nursing homes back into the community. The state has also been paying community-based providers less, reducing payments by 15 percent last year because of legislative budget cuts, the letter stated.
Yet the state implemented policies that expanded nursing home care, by offering facilities a $500 enhanced daily rate for caring for children, which is more than double than what the state pays for adults, according to the letter.
The state's goal "is to reduce the need for private duty nursing and to put most of the burden on the parents," said plaintiffs' attorney Matthew Dietz, who noted many of the children require ventilators, feeding tubes and other complicated machinery. "To expect any parent to render life-sustaining care to a child is awful."
Pamela DeCambra said the state denies her request to continue to providing 24-hour at-home nursing care for her 15-year-old daughter, Maria, nearly every six months. The teen suffers from cerebral palsy, has severe seizures and doesn't walk or talk. Her saliva often pools in her throat, making it difficult to breathe, requiring a nurse to suction her lungs and administer oxygen. Maria, who is on a feeding tube and other machines, communicates with her eyes and expressions. She loves her cat, watching TV and spending time with her brother, her mother said.
DeCambra, a 56-year-old single mom who manages a law office in Tallahassee, said the state frequently denies 24-hour nursing care, approving 12-hour time periods, alleging that she can take care of Maria for part of the time. She has appealed every denial and won, but says it's getting more difficult.
"She'll never be placed in an institution as long as I have breath in my body, but it's fast becoming more and more difficult for me to fight this battle because I'm fighting a monster that just won't back down," she said.

— Students from every Putnam County high school are no fools to finance
thanks to the April 1 fifth annual Putnam County Superior Financial
Education Day hosted by Superior Federal Credit Union and Putnam County
Ohio State University Extension. The event provided an informative and
interactive financial education program from 9 a.m until 2 p.m. in the
Ottawa-Glandorf High School gymnasium.
The "Real Money, Real
World" program offered through the Putnam County OSU Extension Office
allowed students to learn through hands-on experiences about costs of
living on their own, making decisions and evaluating the consequences of
their decisions.
"This is the second generation of 'Real Money,
Real World,'" said Jason Hedrick, OSU Extension County Director and
Extension Educator. "It has been updated to include modern expenses,
such as the Internet andmobile services. There is a much stronger
emphasis on retirement than in the previous generation. We also
integrated college debt into the sessions. Good jobs sometimes come at a
price. The students need to realize this will be part of their budget,
but should not dominate it."
Students were assigned an occupation
and family situation and then given a salary equivalent to the average
monthly salary in their simulated occupation. They worked through the
reality experience of opening a checking and savings account, making
consumer decisions, paying bills, writing checks and balancing a
"I'm broke!" exclaimed Ben Niese, a Miller City-New
Cleveland junior, one of 400 students that participated in the event.
"My job is a home health aide; I average $21,000 gross pay. That's
before taxes. It's a heck of a lot more difficult than I thought.
Twenty-one thousand dollars sounds like a lot, but I had to pay rent, I
got a cavity, and I bought food. Plus, I have an eight-year-old, and my
wife is in college. I'm dying, and I'm dying fast."
activities were done as students spent their salaries for the
necessities and luxuries they envision as part of their adult lifestyle.
They also paid taxes and saved for the future. Connor Kuhlman, an
Ottawa-Glandorf junior, was having difficulty with his finances.
"I could hit the lottery or something," said Kuhlman. "I took out a loan—$2,000—I'm rich!"
Johnson, Defiance County OSU Extension staff, worked with Kuhlman at
the housing spending booth when he wanted to purchase his dream home.
can't afford this!" she told him. "You weren't truthful with your
financial advisor. You're a secretary. No offense, that's a good job,
but it's not much money."
Luke Schmersal, a home-school sophomore, was a little more successful at managing his money. "I have been saving money
wherever I can so I can put it on my debt at the end. I didn't know what
to expect, but it's pretty close to what I thought it would be."
Rieman, a Pandora-Gilboa senior, appreciated the real world workshop.
"It's kind of difficult, but it's a good experience. It shows me you
must be cautious with your money, especially if you have kids."

And I don't mean the NHL Awards show. I mean my big, big, big meeting at Centennial Golf Club in Carmel yesterday. I love that place. Except it eats my lunch, as I had a Dustin Johnson-esque back nine after a very decent front.
But you shouldn't care about how many times I putted from one side of their perfect greens to the other. So here's a hockey note: Holding a meeting of their own, according to my sources, at the same place at the same time, were Bobby Sanguinetti and Corey Potter. Also, one former three-lettered Rangers enforcer is a fairly regular there.
As for the show from Vegas, well Jay Mohr was way funnier than I expected (my expectations were pretty low). Snoop was as out of place and inappropriate as I thought he'd be. The Getzlaf-Ryan skit was hilarious. And though I love the Beatles, and I like GooGoo Dolls, that lead singer in that metal band absolutely ruled the night (anybody know the name of that band?). Wow.
Didn't mind seeing Sausage Lips go without an award, except for the Messier award.
What I did mind was the players being shoved off the stage because Versus had to get to a Goldie Hawn movie that is decades old. Why would you stuff in all that peripheral entertainment and limit the show to 90 minutes? WTB? Do you have a bull ride or a deer hunt to get to? If you can't fit 100 pounds of baloney into the bag, get a bigger bag. Or remove some of the baloney. That dance troupe that did the Beatles compilation could have been cut out. The GooGoos could have gone. Snoop, well, he shouldn't have been involved in any way, shape or form in the first place.
But don't take the time out of the players' hides. They are the show, not the idiot in the earrings doing the moronic interviews up in the balcony. Not Snoop. Not the caveman. If you want to make it about entertainment, fine, but then you have to allow time for the entertainment and the, you know, awards.
Not to mention the number of times they screwed up the pronunciation of a name, and how may times their timing was completely off — like when they introduced some unknown guy while Alex Ovechkin was speaking; and when they said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Jeremy Roenick and Eddie Olczyk" and then cut to commercial.
PS, those ads for Las Vegas than ran every five seconds (about as often as the potato ads), they sure made Sin City look like a wholesome vacation spot for the family, eh?

I got in line at 9:30 this morning since I heard the line can get crazy at Franklin. I was very pleased when I got there and only one person was waiting.
After I got there, the line gradually got bigger and bigger and by the time the doors opened at 11, the line was already wrapped around the building. They at least have misters set up to keep those in the sun cooled down.
Sorry the next pic is kinda blurry, I took it while I was walking. I was debating on getting the Tipsy Texan Sandwich, which is a chopped brisket sandwich topped with sausage. But I instead went with the 2 meat plate.... Had to get the Fatty Brisket and Sausage with potato salad and cole slaw...
I didn't get any pork ribs, but I snapped a pic of them that the girl ahead of me ordered.
And I had to get a Big Red Soda to go with...never had one before.
This brisket was absolutely fantastic. So moist and just the right amount of smoke. The sausage was unbelievable too. Pure heaven.
The brisket had a great bark. Someone in line told me that they simply rub their briskets down with Salt and Pepper. Whatever they do, they've truly perfected it.
Definitely worth the wait. But I hear on Saturdays that they can have upwards of 300 people in line! I thank those of you on this forum who recommended getting there early.

LAHORE: Police have taken at least 50 suspects into custody in the brutal rape case of a five-year-old girl in Lahore.
"We have taken at least 50 suspects, including some boys of the victim's family, into custody and are interrogating," a senior official of Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) told on the condition of anonymity.
"Those taken into custody also include vagabonds of the locality and some labourers. Two police teams have been working on the case day and night and we are very much positive to arrest the culprit(s) soon," he said.
The CIA official further informed that the investigating teams are also taking help of the police of other districts to arrest those men who were present near the victim's family's residence in Mughalpura when the incident took place. Police have started conducting DNA tests to identify the suspects.
"We are still looking for the main accused. We have also taken some suspects into custody after observing CCTV footages," said Lahore police chief Chaudhry Shafique.
Meanwhile, local MP Hamza Shahbaz, son of Punjab's chief minister Shabaz Sharif, said that law enforcement agencies have got an important clue in the case.
He said 'hectic efforts' are underway to arrest all of the accused, though the number of perpetrators cannot be ascertained at the moment.
A Police official, Jamil Khan, was suspended and subsequently arrested for releasing four suspects after taking bribe from them.
The girl, the youngest of nine siblings, was playing outside her house at Ghausia Colony in Mughalpura - a thickly populated impoverished neighbourhood - on Thursday evening when she went missing.
Her family made announcements through loudspeakers in mosques and carried out a search but were unable to trace her.
They also approached Mughalpura police station but officials refused to register a complaint.
A security guard found the girl lying unconscious with blood stains on her clothes in a forested area near Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Friday morning.

Law School Revamps Final Year Curriculum. Will Med Schools Ever Do The Same?
The New York Times reports that NYU Law School is planning to change its third-year curriculum to better prepare its graduates for the realities of legal practice today. In case you don't know, law school graduates are having a tough time finding work and many require on-the-job training to make up for what they didn't learn in school.
From the article: "There is a growing disconnect between what law schools are offering and what the marketplace is demanding in the 21st century," said … the chairman of the panel of alumni recommending the changes.
A revelation from the article is that the third year of law school has been considered a waste of time by many observers.
"One of the well-known facts about law school is it never took three years to do what we are doing; it took maybe two years at most, maybe a year-and-a-half," Larry Kramer, the former dean of Stanford Law School, said in a 2010 speech.

Amoxicillin/ clavulanatePronunciation
Generic Name: amoxicillin/clavulanate (a-MOX-i-SIL-in/KLAV-ue-lan-ate)
Brand Name: Augmentin
Amoxicillin/ clavulanate is used for:
Treating infections caused by certain bacteria.
Amoxicillin/clavulanate is a penicillin antibiotic. It works by killing sensitive bacteria.
Do NOT use amoxicillin/ clavulanate if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in amoxicillin/clavulanate or another penicillin antibiotic (eg, ampicillin)
- you have a history of liver problems or yellowing of the eyes or skin caused by amoxicillin/clavulanate
- you have infectious mononucleosis (mono)
- you are taking a tetracycline antibiotic (eg, doxycycline)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using amoxicillin/ clavulanate:
Some medical conditions may interact with amoxicillin/clavulanate. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of asthma, hay fever, or hives
- if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties, dizziness) to a cephalosporin (eg, cephalexin) or another beta-lactam antibiotic (eg, imipenem)
- if you have kidney problems or gonorrhea
- if you have a history of liver problems or yellowing of the eyes or skin
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with amoxicillin/clavulanate. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of bleeding may be increased
- Probenecid because it may increase the risk of amoxicillin/clavulanate's side effects
- Chloramphenicol, macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), sulfonamides (eg, sulfamethoxazole), or tetracycline antibiotics (eg, doxycycline) because they may decrease amoxicillin/clavulanate's effectiveness
- Methotrexate because the risk of its side effects may be increased by amoxicillin/clavulanate
- Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) because their effectiveness may be decreased by amoxicillin/clavulanate
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if amoxicillin/clavulanate may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use amoxicillin/ clavulanate:
Use amoxicillin/clavulanate as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take amoxicillin/clavulanate by mouth at the start of a meal to decrease the chance of stomach upset.
- To clear up your infection completely, take amoxicillin/clavulanate for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
- If you miss a dose of amoxicillin/clavulanate, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use amoxicillin/clavulanate.
Important safety information:
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use amoxicillin/clavulanate with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
- Be sure to use amoxicillin/clavulanate for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- Long-term or repeated use of amoxicillin/clavulanate may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
- Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur.
