The New York Red Bulls U-18 and U-16 Academy teams headed south to Lakewood Ranch, Fla., for the U-18 and U-16 U.S. Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) 2015 Winter Showcase. The showcase wrapped up the 2015 half of the season for the Academy, who will pick up their seasons after the winter break in March 2016. The Red Bulls U-18s finished 2-1-0, while the U-16s went a perfect 3-0-0.
The Red Bulls U-18s honored teammate Sean Teixeira, who tragically lost his brother Anthony in a car accident. He passed away at the age of 21. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sean and his family during this difficult time. A website has been set up to help the family with medical and funeral expenses.

New York Red Bulls U-18 (3) vs. San Jose Earthquakes U-18 (2)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 3, 2015) – The Red Bulls got off to a quick start and scored from the opening kickoff when Mason Deeds' pass found Samad Bounthong, who scored his second goal of the season within 10 seconds of the match. Jeanpaul Marin had to come off in the 7th minute due to an ankle injury which kept him sidelined for the remainder of the showcase.
The Red Bulls extended their lead to 3-0 with a brace from the ever-dangerous Brian Saramago. The first came from a pass from Jared Gilbey in the 35th minute, and the next through a good play in the midfield by Callum Johnson in the 63rd.
The Red Bulls lost another player when Matt Thorshiem sustained a head injury minutes after entering the game in the second half. Thorshiem did not play for the remainder of the tournament. The Red Bulls conceded two goals late, but came out winners, 3-2.

New York Red Bulls U-18 (6) vs. Real Salt Lake AZ U-18 (2)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 4, 2015) – The Red Bulls controlled the game early on against Real Salt Lake, but found themselves behind just before halftime after a well-executed Real Salt Lake counter-attack. The response in the second half produced an impressive 17-minute spell in which the Red Bulls scored five times.
The first came in the 48th minute from a Red Bulls corner kick. Jared Gilbey played the ball back to Noah Powder on the edge of the area who fired a shot from 25-yards to beat the goalkeeper. Minutes later Noah Powder turned provider after he beat two defenders to drive inside the penalty area before crossing the ball to Barry Sharifi who headed in for the second goal.
The high pressing Red Bulls created a number of turnovers in the Real Salt Lake defensive third. Barry Sharifi played in Pierre Reedy who finished in the 58th minute to make it 3-1. Sharifi then got his second of the match after good play from Brian Saramago who played in Sharifi to finish in the 61st minute. Red Bulls won the ball back from the Real Salt Lake kickoff to produce the fifth goal. A one-touch passing combination were too much for Real Salt Lake pressure and the ball found its way to Pierre Reedy at the top of the penalty area. He flicked the ball through for Brian Saramago who ran in and scored.
Real Salt Lake rallied to get a second goal, but the scoring concluded in the 85th minute when the two substitutes Kyle Casey and Samad Bounthong combined to score.
The team dedicated the win to their teammate Sean Teixeria who sadly lost his 21-year old brother Anthony on Monday, Nov. 30, 2015.

New York Red Bulls U-18 (1) vs. Vardar U-18 (4)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 6, 2015) – The Red Bulls concluded the showcase with a loss to Vardar, 4-1. The Red Bulls conceded two goals in each half. Vardar scored from two set pieces in the first half to give them edge going into the break, 2-1.
The Red Bulls committed numbers forward in the second half as they attempted to get back in the game and were caught by a swift Vardar counter-attack to give the team from Michigan a two-goal cushion. The fourth goal was a giveaway in the defensive third that provided Vardar the fourth goal of the match.
"The team was challenged with three very tough games, and I thought we played very well in certain spells during the games," captain Mason Deeds said. "The showcase is a way for us to learn new ways to make the team better. The team is figuring out the up-tempo style of play the Red Bulls are all about, and with that the team can be even more dangerous moving forward."
The Red Bulls Academy will now take a break for the holidays and resume training in mid-January to gear up for the second half of the USSDA season.

New York Red Bulls U-16 (4) vs. Real Salt Lake AZ U-16 (2)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 4, 2015) – The first game matched two of the top teams in the country with the Red Bulls facing Real Salt Lake. The Red Bulls came out strong, creating many chances early on and getting on the scoresheet first via Omir Fernandez, thanks to an assist from Zach Ryan. It was Fernandez who scored the second goal minutes later off a cross from Ben Mines and the Red Bulls headed into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
Ben Mines used his speed to get behind the RSL defense early in the second half and was taken down for a penalty that Zach Ryan converted to make it 3-0. RSL fought back with two goals before Bratislav Petkovik put the game away with his first goal of the season to clinch the win, 4-2.
Scoring Summary (Assist in parenthesis):
- NY: Omir Fernandez (Zach Ryan) 16'

Men of the Match: Kazu Shigenobu, Omir Fernandez
New York Red Bulls U-16 (4) vs. Sporting Kansas City U-16 (1)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 5, 2015) – In the second game of the showcase, the Red Bulls faced Sporting Kansas City. The Red Bulls scored right from the kickoff with Jack Valderabanno scoring off a rebound from Ben Mines' initial shot on goal. New York continued to dominate with center midfielder Kazu Shigenobu being the engine of the team. They would be rewarded with a second goal when center forward Zach Ryan found a streaking Omir Fernandez who calmly chipped the oncoming goalkeeper to give the Red Bulls a 2-0 lead. Sporting KC pulled one back on a goal off a set piece header before halftime.
SKC came out strong in the second half looking for the equalizer as the fatigued Red Bulls midfielders and defenders fought to keep the lead. N took the game back over when substitutes Giuseppe Margiottiello, Willie Rojas, Jordan Bailon and Nick Shimbeno came on and injected instant energy. Ben Mines was pushed up front, beat two SKC defenders and completed a sliding a pass to Omir Fernandez for his fourth goal in two games. It was Mines again weaving through SKC defenders and laying off to Rojas who finished to give the Red Bulls a hard fought 4-1 win.

New York Red Bulls U-16 (6) vs. Pateadores U-16 (0)
Lakewood Ranch, Fla. (December 7, 2015) – In the third and final game of the showcase, the Red Bulls faced west coast perennial powerhouse Pateadores. New York came out and again scored in the first minute of the game when Ben Mines crossed to Omir Fernandez to give the Red Bulls the early lead, 1-0. New York did not let up and created many opportunities, finishing the game with a 25-4 advantage in shots.
Zach Ryan scored a penalty kick after midfielder Giuseppe Margiottiello was pulled down and it would be Margiottiello who would scored the third goal before halftime as the Red Bulls took a 3-0 into the break. It was much of the same in the second half as Margiottiello scored again, this time on a 30-yard blast which found the upper corner. Substitutes Nick Shimbeno and Bratislav Petkovik each added a goal to complete the scoring.
Scoring Summary (Assist in parenthesis):

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge CPU Review
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Full Disclosure: Intel provided the product sample used in this article.
Barely a year after the introduction of its immensely popular Sandy Bridge CPUs, Intel brings us Ivy Bridge. It's been a busy 15 months for Intel, with the introduction of no fewer than three chipset families (P67, Z68, and Z77, and many variants thereof) and three processor families (Sandy Bridge, Sandy Bridge Extreme, and Ivy Bridge).
As it has for the past several years, Intel's sticking to their "tick-tock" processor release cycle. At roughly yearly intervals, Intel will introduced either an entire new processor architecture ("tock") or a refinement thereof ("tick"). Sandy Bridge was the tock, and Ivy Bridge is the tick. The "tick" processors are usually minor upgrades in terms of capability. For Ivy Bridge, we have the power and heat advantages of Intel's new 22nm process (as compared to Sandy Bridge's 32nm), and the improved efficiency afforded by their low-leakage "3D" transistors.
Of course, what we all want to know is how the performance and features of this new CPU compare with the Sandy Bridge line. To determine this I'll be testing the Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K CPU against a Sandy Bridge Core i7-2600K.
Ivy Bridge does enable the mainboard's PCI-E 3.0 features, but I don't think that your card is 3.0 compliant. If there is a huge advantage to PCI-E 3.0 as opposed to 2.0 operation, that would make me want to change over.
Thanks for the review. It was a good read.
In any case right now PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth improvements have no discernible effect on graphics performance since no card is anywhere close to saturating the bandwidth of 16x or even 8x PCI-E 2.0.
Speaks volumes for the entry-level market, though, not much for the market the 3770K is in.
I have an A8 APU and when paired with the 1GB XFX HD6670 Radeon card I have, it performs pretty good. It's a good overclocker and most of the available socket FM-1 mainboards have a ~lot~ of useable features on them. It represents excellent value for the low cost of ownership.
But, as you say, it is Apples and Oranges in the marketplace.
If you look at some of the other articles going around the net on this topic, you'd think IB is the second coming.
Hilbert Hagedoorn (Mr. GURU 3D, himself) says that the i7-3770K is an excellent overclocker, (guru3d.com/reviews) while you say otherwise.
Is there such a large difference between Engineering Samples, or is this the same-o, same-o from Intel, where there's a large gap in performance from one (supposedly) identical cpu to another?
It's fairly common knowledge that retail bought cpu's OC better than the engineering samples given out to review sites. Is this the case concerning the cpu that you tested, and that a retail version may actually OC much, much better than the one you have?
If so, then the reviewing of any free sample should never be done. Ever.
If any reviewer can't afford, or is too cheap, to buy a random retail component for reviewing, then the review is completely suspect, since it does NOT apply to what real people buy themselves off-the-shelf.
So yes, in answer to your question, there is a difference between engineering samples; in fact there's a difference between retail samples, as any overclocker knows. And as for "large difference", the 4.9GHz Hilbert reached was a mere 4.2% better than the 4.7GHz I reached, so your definition of "large" seems a little off to me.
No review sites normally buy retail samples of the products they review. Even if we did, waiting for a retail Ivy Bridge CPU would mean you'd read all these reviews weeks later than you would otherwise. And I'm not sure I could wait that long for your appreciation.
I'm not going to bother visiting his site to find out, but I presume he might have cooled it differently or simply received a better sample.
Going to hate forever?
It looks possible that even if it brings better power usage, throttling might bring overall performance down if a manufacturer isn't attentive to their cooling system design.
So doubling the potential throughput from x16 2.0 to x16 3.0 won't make any difference because no current software is trying to pump that much information across PCI-E.
The real win for PCI-E 3.0 would be with non-video card devices, like PCI-E SSDs. Of course the trouble is that with current Ivy Bridge systems only the CPU has PCI-E 3.0 lines (the X77 Express chipset is still limited to PCI-E 2.0...and two SATA6 ports...and four USB 3.0 ports...because Intel is lazy), so the only slots with this connectivity are the one or two X16 slots a board will have, and these aren't the slots you'd put a non-graphics card in. Sigh.
Where this will make a real difference, as I notice in the review, is with laptop/ultrabook/portable devices. The lower power draw should make a real difference in battery life, allowing either smaller batteries (and smaller devices), longer life with the same size batteries, or any combination. This would be hard to test since you'd need two mobile devices with the only difference being the processor...and I only had a desktop CPU anyway.
Just today I have gotten three spams claiming they were new posts in Benchmark Reviews articles (including this one).
I enjoy reading the reviews here but if you guys can't do anything about the spam, I'll have to unsubscribe.
We immediately remove comments and block IPs, but unless you want to enter a long complex code then one spam message per week isn't the end of the world.
Last week I started getting a few more and today there were three when I got home for work. There's no way to block the sneaky buggers without blocking Benchmark Reviews.
If it goes back to one a week that would make me happy. If it increases again then I don't think I would stick around. We'll see how it goes. Maybe you guys can change the character test to four or five alphanumeric characters instead of three, or two short words. If it's spam bots that might help, if someone posts the spam manually then it wouldn't.
Good luck with it anyway.

Every year there are players that rise from obscurity and breakout, i.e. Andray Blatche, Jared Dudley, and Andrea Bargnani in 2010. This year will be no different and I like to think I can predict the future, or give you a better idea of who has the best chance to break out. For a player to "break out" he will see a significant increase in MPG and production. Please feel free to let me know if I missed anyone, as we love all feedback at Razzball.
Jeff Teague – Averaged only 3.2 PPG, and it is never good when your best quality is your FT%, but it is worth mentioning Teague missed only eight FT all season. He was known as an athletic scoring PG coming out of college, but the Hawks traded for another young combo guard Jordan Crawford, and he might steal some minutes from Teague. The good thing for Teague is Mike Bibby is not very good, and the Hawks would love to hand the keys over to him or Crawford.
J.J. Hickson – Should see a big time increase in production this season, as he will likely see over 30 MPG, and if he stays healthy and out of foul trouble, which he did last season, Hickson will be a very nice fantasy option next year. He put up nearly 15 PPG and 8.5 RPG if you extrapolate (my new favorite word) his numbers to 36 MPG and he is definitely one of Cleveland's best athletes. Cleveland will run without the Queen and Hickson will be Mo Williams' new running mate. J.J. does not do much of anything else but he shoots well from the field and he should start to blossom into a pretty good NBA player, as he is only 22 years old on September 4th. Love me some J.J. Hickson … as of right now.
Rodrigue Beaubois – Jason Kidd averaged a remarkable 36-MPG last season, and this might be the year where Kidd starts to take a back seat to Rodrigue Beaubois. The Mavs are hoping Beaubois can start focusing on the PG duties, because he only showed flashes of scoring brilliance and the jury is still out on his PG abilities. Roddy had a crummy 1.3 APG/1.0 TPG and will need to work on his decision making or risk losing MPG to J.J. Barea, one of my Puerto Rican friends favorite player. His fav? Carlos Arroyo. Duh.
Ty Lawson – With the Nuggets reportedly ready to abandon ship it looks like Ty Lawson might be the starting PG for them by the end of the season. Who knows who will be running with him but Lawson will be a fine NBA PG. He had a phenomenal A/T ratio (3/1) and will definitely see an increase in MPG as Chauncey Billups' career will start to slow down sooner or later.
Dorell Wright – For the first time in his career Dorell Wright might be able to help your fantasy team. Wright has a real good chance of starting for the Warriors and only Charlie Bell and Reggie Williams have a shot at taking MPG away. Although Nelly can get wild with his rotation it looks like Wright, and his brand spankin' new three-year deal (!), will get plenty of opportunity in the Golden State.
Chase Budinger – He had a heck of a season for a guy that was drafted in the typically futile second round. Budinger averaged nearly 16 PPG, while grabbing over five RPG, and over two APG per 36 MPG. Budinger can play both guard and forward and is a great athlete who shot the ball extremely well for a rookie. Shane Battier's act is almost up in Houston and Budinger might be the air apparent.
Darren Collison – By finishing 4th in the 2010 NBA Rookie of the Year award, and by snagging a first place vote, Collison had a breakout rookie campaign. But since he moved to the Pacers and might lead the NBA in MPG, Collison will have an even better season in 2011. He has been a stud PG for his entire life and is always over-looked because he is not the strongest player, but DC is the new pace car in Indy. He will see well over 30 MPG and average over 15 PPG and perhaps 8 APG. He does not have the strongest supporting cast but he did not have much in New Orleans last year either. Just ask CP3. Post script: The Pacers might be the worst team in the NBA.
Blake Griffin – Who? Yup, Blake Griffin should have a very good rookie season. It's really not saying much since he is the 2009 #1 pick, but I feel like people are forgetting how good he really is. BG is already one of the most explosive big men in basketball, but Chris Wilcox also has mesmerizing athleticism. Griffin should be much better than Wilcox but he might be playing his best basketball after the all star break, so stay patient with BG.
Steve Blake – will likely take over the PG duties for the Lakers from venerable vet Derek Fisher, as Blake's lucrative long term contract suggests. Blake got a 4 year deal worth $4 million per season, and while Fisher will be in at the end of games, the Lake Show did not pay Blake to sit. He is a good NBA PG, much better than Luke Ridnour, who received the same contract from the T'Wolves and sometimes I get upset I did not work hard enough to become a mediocre PG that David Kahn would spend millions on. Blake will average around 10 PPG, with 5 APG, a couple RPG, and will have plenty of productive games this season.
Roy Hibbert – Will definitely benefit from the Darren Collison acquisition but he probably will not see many more MPG. Hibbert averaged 25 MPG, and he might see 30 MPG, but he was not super productive last season, grabbing only 5.7 RPG and scoring 11.7 PPG. He will definitely improve this season and his production will increase but it won't be because of an increase in minutes, but because Indy's new pace car Collison. Expect a 13 PPG and hopefully more than 8 RPG this season from Hibbert.
Kevin Love – He should have a monster year, as he is all alone in the Minnesota front court. Love, a rebounding machine, has a very good chance of being the top rebounder in the NBA, and will likely lead the Wolves in MPG and PPG. He averaged a double-double last year and is benefiting from playing with Team USA in the off-season. Look for Love to be an all-star candidate by mid-season.
Marcus Thornton– He had a great rookie year, averaging over 14 PPG, and he should have a better season with Chris Paul in control. Marco Bellinelli was acquired only to back-up, and there is no such thing as a healthy Peja Stojakovic, and look for the sharp shooter from the Bayou to be a top scorer for New Orleans.
Ray Felton – He's never going to be a great NBA guard and regressed quite a bit last season. He obviously did not get along with Larry Brown in CHA and signed the best deal offered to him, which was only a lucrative two year deal in NYC. Felton should see an increase in production across the board under Mike D'Antoni's guidance, but he needs to stay away from the post game spread. Felton's waste continues to grow, hence the two year deal, but he should have a good season in NYC. Expect 15 PPG, 7 APG, and 1.5 SPG, which might be his best NBA season ever.
Anthony Randolph – Everyone's favorite sleeper has found himself in the middle of the biggest city in the world and is now a part of the world's biggest hype machine. No matter how bad the Knicks have been and will be, their fans will find a way to get excited about something. Although Randolph is not very good (yet), there is no doubting his immense talents. He will start for the "high-powered" Knickerbocker offense, lead by Felton and Amar'e Stoudemire, and will have a quality game once a week as long as he is not injured, which he tends to be, a lot. Randolph needs to add strength and consistency to his game and until then he will be known as everyone's favorite sleeper. Randolph will see an increase in MPG and production, but he needs to find consistency and stay out of street clothes before we take him seriously.
James Harden – He plays for a very young and talented team, which could be one of the best teams in the NBA. He was a top 3 pick two years ago, and would have much better numbers on a non-contender, but he is relegated to being a role player on the Thunder. Harden will have a better year across the board, but by how much is the question. He averaged 22.9 MPG and will likely see over 25 MPG this season and Thabo Sefolosha is one of the more overrated players in the NBA. If Harden can improve his defense then he will see more MPG and much better production in 2010.
Serge Ibaka – Will see a substantial increase across the board as his MPG will likely near 30 per game. He only averaged 18 MPG last regular season, but played well against the Lakers at 25 MPG. Ibaka will not score a lot but he will rebound and block shots and he should turn in to a quality NBA player by the end of the season.
J.J. Redick – A few years ago it was laughable to think Redick would be a high quality NBA player worth $21 million over three years, but that is what he has turned into. Redick is a deadly outside shooter and will see an increase in MPG with his new hefty contract. He will average over 10 PPG, with good shooting numbers, and hopefully J.J. can add another element to his game this season, perhaps APG, SPG, or even a few more RPG.
Goran Dragic – It is safe to say this will be the last season Goran Dragic is a backup NBA PG, as he is in the last year of his deal in Phoenix. Dragic's numbers project to over 15 PPG and over 6 APG per 36 MPG, and broke out in a big way in the 2010 playoffs. He will see over 20 MPG, compared to 18 MPG last year, and although a backup PG, Dragic is worth drafting and probably owning the entire season with Steve Nash not getting younger.
Wesley Matthews -He did not get a boat load of cash from Portland to sit on the bench and he will definitely be a team leader in MPG. It could be a horrible contract by the end of the season, and Matthews was undrafted for a reason, but do not be afraid to spend a late round draft pick on Matthews. With his huge contract he will see every opportunity to succeed on a very good Portland team.
DeMar DeRozan – One of the better young players in the NBA, DeRozan could see a very significant increase in every offensive category. Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu are gone, which opens the door wide for DeRozan to blossom and although he might be the 2nd option on offense behind Andrea Bargnani, DeRozan will average over 15 PPG. We can only hope and pray the high flying DeRozan can add some other elements to his game like APG, RPG, and SPG, but he is still very young and that will come later in his career. Even though DeRozan is only a scorer next year, expect big things from the kid.
Tiago Splitter – Splitter was drafted in 2007 but had an expensive buyout which lead to him coming over three years later. Splitter will likely start for the Spurs alongside Tim Duncan, and will do the dirty work the Spurs love. He will rebound, defend, block shots, and make put backs. He will not be a superstar big man, but he should be good enough for a late round pick.
Amir Johnson – Johnson signed a lucrative long term deal to play significant minutes in Toronto and he is in line for a very good 2011 season. Johnson played 17 MPG last season and his numbers project to nearly 13 PPG and 10 RPG per 36 MPG. Amir does not do much other than rebound and score, but he has never gotten the opportunity he now has in Toronto.
Jarrett Jack – There is no question Jack is the starting PG in Toronto and although his BFF Chris Bosh is gone, the Raptors still have some good parts to their team. We discussed DeRozan, and Bargnani should progress like a #1 pick this season while eclipsing the 20 PPG mark. Jose Calderon has wore out his welcome in Toronto and a trade is inevitable. Do not waste a high pick on Jack, but steal him late.
JaVale McGee – McGee has only averaged 15.6 MPG in his career and we guarantee he sees more than 25 MPG as long as he stays out of foul trouble. Just read this.
Michael Beasley – Yup, that Michael Beasley. He has not been awful in his career and he is still very talented, but Beez is still very immature, even for a professional basketball player. It is hard to say what he will do this season but he will get ample opportunity to produce. We can only hope he stays out of trouble and will be a big time steal in the later rounds if he does, but he won't. He's Michael Beasley.
Martell Webster – Webster played a career high 28.4 MPG and averaged another career high 10.7 PPG two seasons ago in Portland. He was not much of an option while playing behind Brandon Roy, Nic Batum, Rudy Fernandez, and Travis Outlaw and will see a lot more shots in Minnesota. He will turn 24 in early December and still has plenty of room to grow in his game. He is a boom or bust as are most of the T'Wolves.
Nicolas Batum – With Brandon Roy's propensity for injuries and Rudy Fernandez's absence, the only thing in front of Batum blossoming this season is the $35 million man Wesley Matthews. Matthews will have every chance to shine in Portland but Batum is still going to be a very good NBA player. Bold statement: Batum will win Most Improved Player.
Eric Gordon – If you are a member of Team Nike *cough* I mean Team USA, on any level (A or B team), you are a stud, especially at the guard position. Gordon looks primed for a breakout season and we would not be surprised if he went for 20 PPG. The Clippers are seemingly always in disarray, and although Vinny D is not the smartest coach in the world, he was hired in Chicago to develop young talent and will be asked to do the same in Anaheim (the Clippers do not play in Los Angeles, the Lakers do). Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Taj Gibson all benefitted from Vinny's teaching, and the Clippers hired him to help Gordon, Blake Griffin, and Eric Bledsoe grow. Although Gordon digressed last season he has had a great summer and if he starts facilitating and rebounding he is in for a great 2011.
Every night we go to bed and say our basketball prayers and they include two prayers for Hasheem Thabeet and Greg Oden. We pray every night that both big men will be productive this season and we say another two prayers for both of Greg Oden's knees. Thabeet might take another season of patience but if Oden wants to sign a long term contract he will need to show up every night, stay out of foul trouble, rebound, defend, and stay out of street clothes. That might be a lot to ask for out of a player who has not played much in the last three years, but it is not a lot to ask for from the 2007 #1 pick. We are not sure who will be the bigger bust but we loved both players in college and still do, although they have been dreadful as professionals.

It is just a two hour drive down to Montreal from Ottawa. We took Route 148 on the Quebec side down to Grenville, and then we joined Hwy 50 to Lachute, and then on to Hwy 15 right down into Montreal, where we spent an hour navigating downtown Montreal traffic and then finding the building, and once we had found the building – then we had to find a parking spot. We finally did find underground parking (there isn't as much as you would think there would be), and then we tried to get out of the building.
As some of you know, I am in a wheelchair, and after 'wheeling" me around for what seemed like hours (there were only steps UP to Sherbrooke Street), we stopped into the shops in the complex, and found the helpful manager of the local print shop, who promptly led us through the maze of shops and hallways back to the parking area, and with a sigh of resignation, my husband pushed me up the steep ramp to the street.
So with that, we were ready, and we finally made our destination.
The first place we went to was the Marketplace.
After bumping into Gary Schroder (the QFHS President), we headed over to the Ontario Genealogical Society's table, which was manned by the recently-retired Executive Director, Fraser Dunford. He reported very good sales, and he said the crowds were steady throughout the day.
Fraser Dunford, of the OGS, talks with a potential book buyer.
Next, we went to the Moorshead Magazines http://www.moorshead.com table to see Rick Cree and his wife, Jennifer, and we had a really nice talk, as we hit them right as the people went on to hear another lecture. Ed Zapletal — usually the other half of this dynamic duo, alongside Rick — didn't come down to Montreal, as he was home in Toronto, helping his mother celebrate a very special birthday.
We then joined the crowd for lunch. It was a buffet over at l'Hotel Le Cantlie across the street, and was it ever good!
We sat with a couple of people from Ottawa who were there also, including Evelyn Burke and her friend — and after eating our tasty chicken sandwiches, lovely cream of broccoli soup, delicious brownies, and a nice cup of coffee or two — we went back to the conference, and ran into Glenn Wright signing copies of his latest book, Canadians at War 1914-1919: A Research Guide to World War One Service Records, which I reviewed in the OGS' journal, Families, (November 2010 edition), and on this blog at http://genealogycanada.blogspot.com/2010/12/to-continue-overview-that-i-started.html.
Glenn Wright signs a copy of his newest book, Canadians at War 1914-1919: A Research Guide to World War One Service Records, for this lucky lady.
We also dropped in to see saw Louise St. Denis of the National Institute for Genealogical Studies http://www.genealogicalstudies.com, and her husband, Michael, at their display. They reported very good sales, and the people were interested in the Social Media course she was giving away for free, and she seemed pleased with the conference. I also took the opportunity to buy the book recommended for this course, which is Social Networking for Genealogists, by Drew Smith.
We stopped to chat with Derek Hopkins of the QFHS, and then went to see his and Bob Dunn's lecture on cemeteries. It was one of the better lectures I have attended at a conference.
Derek Hopkins (left) and Bob Dunn present a lecture on Quebec Cemeteries at QFHS Conference 2011
As participants filled up the classroom, a PowerPoint presentation of Quebec Protestant Cemeteries in the Eastern Townships was shown, accompanied by soothing music– a very relaxing few minutes before the lecture began.
Both Derek and Bob made the point that they have only started to put in the transcriptions of the cemeteries into the "Members Only" section of the QFHS website http://www.qfhs.ca, and it has proven very popular with the membership.
While there, we saw more Ottawa people, including John D. Reid, of Anglo-Celtic Connections blog fame http://anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.com, Malcolm Moody and his lovely wife of Archive CD Books http://www.archivecdbooks.ca, (where we heard more parking horror stories), Lesley Anderson from Ancestry.ca, and we said "Hi!" to people from Quinte Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, and to people we knew from Montreal.
Since we had already had planned to go back to Ottawa for Sunday, we sadly left the conference and headed back to Ottawa.
After missing our turnoff, and getting lost near Concordia University in Montreal's west end, we stopped for directions at a local pizzeria, and got some great pizza at the same time. Then we got back on Hwy 15 to head out of the city, stopped at Blainville for supper, crossed over to Hawkesbury on the Ontario side, and came up on Hwy 417, where we stopped on the side of the road to take pictures of one of the best sunsets we had seen in many a moon, and then we were safely home around ten or so.
Sunset near Casselman, Ontario. It was even more beautiful live.

LG and Samsung have teamed up to have their respective technologies accepted as the American standard for mobile TV, just as Dish starts casting around for someone to help them build such a network.
America already has a couple of broadcast mobile TV networks based around Qualcomm's MediaFLO technology. But last year the Open Mobile Video Coalition was set up to define a standard for mobile broadcasting, on the basis that there aren't nearly enough standards already.
The coalition is made up of broadcasters - no-one else is allowed to join - and includes Fox, ION and NBC amongst others representing more than 850 TV stations around the USA. They've been looking at various technologies to make up their new standard, and today announced the conclusion of trials using technologies from LG and Samsung with the recommendation that they be adopted.
The technologies involved are LG's "Mobile-Pedestrian-Handheld" and Samsung's "Advanced VSB". This combination was shown to provide decent reception on the move, and up to 40 miles from the transmitter, though that will depend on the frequency.
"Agreement on a standard takes our industry to the next level in the development and rollout of products and services, and the OMVC remains fully committed to the ATSC's current planned schedule of adopting a final standard by July of 2009," said Anne Schelle, executive director of the OMVC, in a statement.
That might not be soon enough for companies such as Dish, which has just spent $712m on a chunk of 700MHz spectrum that will be available from February next year. It wants to get mobile TV up and running quickly, though it revealed in its quarterly results call that it's looking for a partner to share the cost of building the network. Dish has been testing various standards, including DVB-SH, but has yet to settle on a technology.
Not that the OMVC is planning to wait long: "Next we'll be focused on consumer trials with the goal of realizing mobile DTV for consumers as soon as possible," continues Anne Schelle. This is good to hear, as right now the industry seems to be prepared to invest massively in a service with still very unproven demand. ®

Spring Cleaning: Reminders and Updates
Don't let your students be the ones to notice problems in your online courses. As you are making copies and revisions for summer and fall, here are some reminders and new items to consider:
- Since CFCC is moving to the new portal (My.CFCC.edu) , remove references in your course to Campus Cruiser, including in the contingency plan.
- Do NOT use update Internet Explorer to version 9 yet, since Blackboard does not support it; doing so could result in display and functionality issues. Use Firefox or IE 8 instead.
- Review the "Preparing your summer and fall courses" post to help ensure that your courses are ready for the first day of class.
- If copying and pasting from a Word document, use the Paste from Word tool to remove excessive code that results display problems in some browsers.
- There are some lingering minor issues in Bb. For a list of these issues and work arounds or solutions, view the Blackboard Issues and Solutions document (pdf).
In addition to the items mentioned above, don't forget about professional development opportunities from the Department of Distance Learning. In addition to Blackboard training, we offer workshops on course quality and eLearning applications.
If you would like to schedule a meeting with the DL instructional technologist to assist with course development, please contact Liz Stover at email@example.com or x7722.
You might also check out training from the LRC, where you can learn about exciting tools for your traditional and online courses.

Johanna Foege grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and went to school at Northern Illinois University where she earned her degree in the Biological Sciences. From there she moved to Chicago, where she worked with several different organizations including Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the University of Chicago. She moved down to St. Louis to assist with research at Washington University School of Medicine in 2013, then ended up in her current position three years later overseeing the Quality Control Program at Perennial Artisan Ales.
Foege started autocrossing in 2011 after copious prodding from her brothers and friends, and has been hooked ever since -- running multiple cars the first few years, but eventually settling in on the Mazdaspeed6 she currently co-drives.
JH: First off, congratulations on being chosen as one of the recipients of the Wendi Allen Scholarship Fund award. I imagine that was extremely exciting news to get. Where were you when you first heard, and what was your initial reaction?
JF: I was actually at a St. Patrick's Day party when I got the call from Howard Duncan. I was totally excited when he let me know I had been one of the women selected. What was funny was that I was with a bunch of people that really didn't know I raced. So when they were asking what the call was about, I got to tell them I won a scholarship for racing! I called my teammates shortly after. They were super excited about it and were like, "We gotta get our schedules cleared for all the events!!"
JH: How did you first start autocrossing? Was motorsport something you were always in to, or was it something that became a passion after you first tried it?
JF: My family fostered my interest in cars throughout my life. While my father had never participated in organized motorsports himself (despite having a Lotus Esprit V8), he did everything in his power to assure my brothers and I were all exceptional drivers. My mother passed away when I was nine, so she wasn't there to stop him from making us do things like back a trailer across empty parking lots, slide around in the snow, or make us service our own vehicles. My brothers also brought home a variety of fun cars that they made me drive from time to time. I really came to enjoy all of that. And it was my brothers and another friend that eventually got me to try autocross. At that first event, I ended up taking first in my novice (open) class of seven -- on my first run, nonetheless! Obviously, I was immediately hooked. From 2012-2013, I participated in as many local events as I could afford and drove as many different cars as I could find co-drives for. Eventually, I settled on the MazdaSpeed6 we drive now (though I do still race my Speed3 and Mini Cooper S from time-to-time as well).
JH: Of all the choices of out there, a Mazdaspeed6 is not usually high on most people's list. If you could start from scratch, would you choose something else or still take the unbeaten path of the Speed6?
JF: I would definitely stick with the Mazdaspeed6. It's so awesome because it is so unique. Part of the enjoyment comes from the fact that it presents some great challenges in that there really isn't an aftermarket for it, and that no one has really tried to develop one. I've really enjoyed watching, helping, learning, and experiencing the development of that car over the past five years.
JH: With the Wendi Allen Scholarship Fund being for young or new women in our sport, and the new Women on Track initiative really taking on traction, talk to me about being a woman in our sport.
JF: At times it can be really frustrating, and then it can also be very rewarding. While it is frustrating to have someone just presume you are inexperienced or unknowledgeable because you are a woman, it is at the same time very rewarding to prove to them that you aren't just a woman, and that you can drive and are knowledgeable. After attending the Women's Initiative luncheon at Nationals last September, I attended a local committee meeting to bring some ideas to the table. Our St. Louis Solo Chairman, Cortni Townsend, is a fellow woman driver, so she's been very supportive of my ideas. I've started a Facebook page for women who have an interest in motorsports and have hosted one happy hour so far. I'm aiming to plan more social events like that, as well as some karting events for us soon. I hope that I am part of a movement that one day changes the perception of people from seeing a woman driver, to simply seeing a driver.
JH: The Wendi Allen Scholarship was created in memory of Wendi, who loved the SCCA Solo Community and wished to give back to the sport by helping young women become more successful drivers and contributing SCCA members. You, Lexie Murray, and Youmna Zalzal are all great ambassadors of the Club, and definitely share that same mindset. Tell us a little about how you encourage other woman to try our sport.
JF: I've made efforts in the Mazdaspeed community to support and encourage all members, but particularly other women, to participate in the sport of autocross. I've taken part in organizing four different National meets, and assured autocross was on our schedule at each one. I also made myself available to instruct at those events, and really focused on getting the women members to take part with me. I've gotten several of the members' girlfriends into the driver's seat at autocross events as well. It has really been rewarding to watch them find enjoyment from it and helping them grow into better drivers.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Goes for Phablet Fame
Jul 7, 2012 5:00 AM PT
In a followup to its Galaxy Note hybrid phone-cum-mini-tablet, Samsung is reportedly planning to release its successor, the Galaxy Note 2, sometime this year.
The Galaxy Note 2 will apparently arrive with a 5.5-inch screen -- a fifth of an inch larger than the one found on the original Galaxy Note, which is itself an enormous handset.
Hybrids like the Galaxy Note, which are smaller than tablets but larger than typical smartphones, are what ABI Research calls "phablets." ABI predicts that more than 208 million phablets will ship globally in 2015.
The new device "is a Galaxy Note 2, and that says to me, OK, the first one did well enough to try again, and this has got me wondering," Michael Morgan, a senior analyst at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld. "I'm starting to think that maybe Samsung's creating another form factor that will generate a different usage pattern. Today people are increasingly using their smartphones for non-voice communications."
Samsung's Galaxy Note "has been an innovative form factor with market positioning -- they embraced the "tweenerness" of the form factor," remarked Danielle Levitas, a group vice president at IDC.
Putative Details for the Note 2
Details about the date of the Note 2's release remain hazy. Some rumors speculate it will be unveiled in August and launched in October, while others contend the launch date has been moved up to September.
The Note 2's reported specs are, understandably, a mishmash. The CPU has been variously cited as a dual-core Exynos 5250 processor and a quad-core processor. It seems to be generally agreed that the display will be a 5.5-inch touchscreen and that the device will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but reports diverge from there.
Some say the screen will be a Super AMOLED display with 1,680 by 1,050 pixel resolution and 360 ppi density, and that it will have a PenTile Matrix for pen input. Other reports claim the Note 2 will have an Unbreakable Plane flexible display.
The Galaxy Note 2 will reportedly have a 12 MP camera, a hardened case, and longer battery life.
"Assuming the rumors are true, the new quad-core processor, the camera, the 2GB of RAM and the unbreakable plane display are substantial advancements from past design points," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.
Samsung didn't offer any clarification. "We respectfully decline to comment," Samsung Mobile spokesperson Makenzie Blythe told TechNewsWorld.
Opening Up a New Market
"I'm starting to think Samsung have got some genius who thinks if you put this out there, you have a new class of users who don't use their smartphones for talking, but for quick data snacking like I do," ABI's Morgan said. "But they don't want to carry around a smartphone or a tablet."
The Galaxy Note 2 "could be a little ahead of its time," Morgan suggested. "Maybe in a year, when people continuously use less voice, this may become the solution for them because they don't necessarily want to use a tablet or carry around a smartphone."
The market is at the dawn of the phablet era, ABI believes. HTC, LG, and Huawei will each introduce phablet smartphones in 2012, joining the ranks of Samsung's Galaxy Note and Nexus, the firm predicted.
Samsung "is a critical player in tablets and phones, from components to end devices, so they are best positioned to experiment with form factors and see which customer segments prefer which attributes and then refine their products as the category matures," IDC's Levitas told TechNewsWorld.
iGalactic Wars
There have been suggestions that the Galaxy Note 2 will be launched to take on whatever mini iPad efforts Apple may have in store. However, "if the mini-iPad does come out, it's going to be a 7-incher, and I don't expect it will have voice connectivity," ABI's Morgan commented.
"I don't see this [Galaxy Note 2] at 5.5 inches typically being compared to a potential 7-inch iPad by most interested buyers," IDC's Levitas told TechNewsWorld.
The mini-iPad rumors "started shortly after the media frenzy over the Nexus 7 began, suggesting to me that someone at Apple is nervous about the attention Google is enjoying," Pund-IT's King said.
The Nexus 7 is a tablet created jointly by Google and Asus that runs a pure version of Jelly Bean. It was introduced in June and is expected to ship this month.

The launcher
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida on a Titan IV-B/Centaur launch vehicle on 15 October 1997.
As tall as a 22-story building, the Titan/Centaur rocket lifted off perfectly on schedule, at 4:43 a.m. EDT, with the 5650-kilogram Cassini-Huygens spacecraft on board.
Two minutes and 23 seconds later, the launch sequence continued with the separation from the Titan IV/B launch vehicle. By then, the spacecraft was already at an altitude of 91 440 metres and traveling at 7046 kilometres per hour.
The Centaur upper stage separated successfully at 42 minutes and 40 seconds into the flight. Flying on its own for the first time, 10 minutes later the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft successfully opened its communications link with NASA's Deep Space Network tracking complex near Canberra, Australia.
The Titan IV-B/Centaur launch vehicle consists of a two-stage, liquid-propellant booster rocket with two strap-on solid rocket motors, a Centaur upper stage and 30-metre high payload enclosure or fairing.
The whole vehicle stands at 55.8 metres high and has a total launch weight of (vehicle and payload) of 1 038 000 kilograms. (The Centaur upper stage measures 4.3 metres wide, 8.8 metres tall, and with propellant weight 24 000 kilograms.)

I was not surprised to see other bloggers noting the 150th anniversary of Robert Smalls's escape from Charleston harbor aboard the Planter, as I did in my post yesterday. It is a feel good moment in a war with precious few.
I have never been of the opinion that my word is the last on any issue, so I thought I would share two particularly good pieces on this notable event in the American Civil War. They are:
1. "Robert Smalls's Great Escape," by Blain Roberts and Ethan J. Kytle in Disunion in the New York Times.
2. "'Disgusting negligence and treachery," by Andy Hall in his fine blog, Dead Confederates.

About us
About us
The Tweed Daily News has been established since 1888 and is an active part of the Tweed Shire community. We are dedicated to covering the Tweed and southern Gold Coast area every day with our constantly-updated website and our Saturday print edition of the Tweed Daily News.
The Daily News is part of the Tweed Newspaper Company which also produces the free weekly title the Tweed Daily News Community Edition, out every Wednesday.
The Tweed Newspaper Company has a strong focus on providing quality, must-read editorial that reflects the feelings, interests and events of our region. The style is informative and interesting, while still maintaining a friendly, entertaining and local feel.
Sections of the newspaper include liftouts like Domain, as well as sections including sport, business and entertainment.
The Tweed Daily News started life in 1888 as the Tweed and Brunswick Advocate and the South Queensland Record made its appearance at the end of October in 1888.
The paper was started by William Robert Baker who had worked on newspapers in the Grafton District. Mr Baker and his two apprentices Norman MacKinon and James McLeod set about producing the paper that was the forerunner to today's Tweed Daily News.
The paper started as a weekly paper, then a bi-weekly, and over the years changed names, owners and formats several times. However, on the first day of January in 1914, the bi-weekly papers were combined to introduce the district's first daily newspaper - The Tweed Daily, which is now known as My Daily News online and the Daily News on Saturdays since December 2011.
During more than 115 years of operations, the Tweed Daily News has stayed abreast of modern newspaper techniques and after the early days of patiently setting every letter by hand, it took a major step forward in 1970 when it became the second daily newspaper in Australia to install an offset printing press. Nowadays publishing is done on a computer system and the company's papers are printed at our sister site in Yandina.

Irish Soul and House music vocalist Antoinette Dunleavy first appeared on Process Recordings as collaborator with Corrugated Tunnel (a.k.a Edwin James) on "Remedy For My Soul" and "The Rejection". For the past year she has been working closely with Edwin on her own debut solo album, As that reaches its completion, Process releases "Barriers", the first single to be taken from the as yet untitled debut longplayer.
The single "Barriers" explores the universal themes of heart break, vulnerability, insecurity and of course unrequited love - all common threads that run through the music of the legendary artists of that magical early Motown era which has always greatly inspired Antoinette's artistry and writing style.
Following the release of Toob's come-back EP "Chromaphon", Process Recordings now brings you remixes from Point B and Radioactive Man for the EP's title track.
Celebrating their tenth year in the world of off-kilter dance music as Toob, Rich Thair and Jakeone are back in the limelight. With various gigs and DJ sets across Europe, the boys are clocking up the airmiles nicely. Check out -and download- their DJ set at Cicade PreOcupada Portugal on the Pulse Radio website (Click here).
Following "Fase Uno" on the legendary Plastic Fantastic label and "Fase Due" on Process Recordings, it is time for the third and final installment of the SoogoWonk trilogy: "Fase Tre".
Opening track "Rising Orange Sun" is a dark and slow atmospheric electronic piece, whilst "LSDS (Large Space Deep Seas)" is more upbeat and filled with a melodic synthline. Last but not least, "Pink Missiles" is a guitar-centered electronic rock track, which is the centerpoint of their live performances.
Corrugated Tunnel's album project "Minor Obsessions" started off last year with the release of "Remedy For My Soul", graced by the wonderfully soulful voice of Antoinette.
It's now time to round off this album with a final single "The Rejection", which again features Antoinette, and comes with remixes from Legowelt and Fish Go Deep.
TOOB! We love them. The first-ever album release on Process Recordings was their "Push Me, Pull You" in late 2008, and was accompanied by a series of singles.
Rich Thair has been busy drumming away for the new Red Snapper album (and now tour), whilst Jakeone has been spreading his bleeps and beats into various projects, including his "Stingrays EP" on Process.
Meanwhile... stems and mixes were shuttling back and forth between rural Wales and manic London, and new TOOB tracks started to appear. We now proudly present you the first four of them in the shape of the brand new "Chromaphon EP".
To celebrate this release the two chaps will be delivering some very special DJ sets at selected night-spots around Europe.
The third album by Corrugated Tunnel (a.k.a. Edwin James). Already firmly established on the Dublin scene as a DJ, remixer and live electronics act, he is Ireland's answer to Röyksopp, Trentemøller and Booka Shade.
Corrugated Tunnel has built a reputation for producing beautifully crafted, melodic and deep electronic music, that crosses various genres."Minor Obsessions" is notably different from his previous albums by the prominence of vocals on many of the tracks, which is sure to be a blueprint for future releases. The album consists of 12 diverse tracks that blend together seamlessly into a 53-minute electronic symphony, taking the listener on a musical journey ...

With radio plays from Huw Stephens (BBC Radio One), Eddy Temple-Morris (XFM London), Paul Hamill (BBC Radio Ulster), Alexander Theory (Kiss FM Melbourne), Dave Mothersole (Proton Radio) and on Berlin's BLN.FM, Filterwolf's mixture of styles and ideas of the past, present and future is rapidly gaining momentum. Fast-paced electronica with reminiscence of Kraftwerk and Carl Craig is combined with sampled oriental and middle-eastern Burial-esque vocals to create Music From Tomorrow, Filterwolf's debut album.

When it comes to the creative, landfill-diverting recycling of old toilets, there aren't really that many options unless you're keen on hauling it to the backyard and using your junked john as a planter (if you opt for front yard placement don't be shocked if there's some backsplash-related backlash from the neighbors). The easiest option is to give your local recycling program or solid waste department a buzz and see if they accept previously loved toilets that have been stripped of any non-porcelain hardware. If they don't, they might be able to point you in the direction of someone else willing to take if off your hands and recycle it. Of, if it's in decent condition, unloading it at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore is always an option as is DiggersList.
And then there's Bellingham, Wash., a college town where a plethora of outdated potties were put to good use as sidewalks. Yes, sidewalks. To be clear, the toilets in question — crushed, ground up, and mixed with gravel and asphalt to form a paving material called "poticrete" — were not donated to the city by private citizens, home remodelers, or contractors with a surplus of porcelain sanitation fixtures. The 400 toilets that now live on, underfoot, as Bellingham's Meador Kansas Ellis Trail Project came directly from the Bellingham Housing Authority.
The authority approached Freeman Anthony, project engineer for the City of Bellingham Department of Public Works, in 2011 after the toilets at three large housing facilities were replaced with new, dual-flush models as part of a massive energy and water-saving upgrade project. And with that, the toilet sidewalk project commenced in May 2011.
In addition to preventing an estimated 5 tons of porcelain from being unceremoniously dumped in local landfills and relying less on virgin concrete aggregate dug up from local gravel pits, the cost of creating a 'poticrete' sidewalk was more or less the same as a more "traditional" gravel-based one: about $850,000.
Anthony also tells ABC News that the City of Bellingham is considering other crushed toilet-based infrastructure projects and that residents can now bring their unwanted porcelain thrones to two local solid waste management facilities. "So residents can save a few bucks in their trip to the dumpster," remarked Anthony.
And Bellingham's 'poticrete' paving venture has not gone unnoticed. Meador Kansas Ellis Trail, which also includes LED street lighting and recycled content asphalt, was recently bestowed with the first ever seal of approval from the Greenroads Foundation.
Does you community offer any toilet recycling options?
