1. Define 'Crashing'. Is it the 'non-responding' message, is it frozen and does the mouse cursor not move anymore, does it quit PR and checking for a solution, is it turning off your machine, is it a BSOD?
2. Are you using the latest video drivers from nVidia? Current version is 296.10
Have you already tuned your system a bit? Removing games, MSN and similar crap, disabling the sidebar permanently, turning off indexing and compression of both drives, setup a fixed pagefile on the D: drive, etc.?
2. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RjL190365 Apr 7, 2012 7:27 AM (in response to RByds4te)
It could be a compatibility issue between the i7-3930K and the RAM. Read posts from Scott Chichelli about the i7-3930K and you'll find that that CPU really needs 1.35V-rated RAM to work correctly, and that there is a major issue between the 3930K's memory controller and the Micron chips that are used on most RAM modules these days.
The even more expensive i7-3960X's memory controller does not suffer from the same issue.

The problems Scott mentioned only apply when overclocking. At stock speed there is no widespread problem.

Hi Harm,
1. I probably should have said "freezing". The on screen image is frozen...I cant move the mouse, work the keyboard, CNTL+ALT+DEL is no use. I have to shut the PC down manually (hold PWR button on case down for 3-5 secs).
2. Nvidia drivers are up to date, I downloaded the driver about 2 weeks ago. I'll double check this when I get home.
3. The only "tuning" I've done, is disabling windows indexing. As far as the the other suggestions go, "removing games, MSN and similar crap, disabling the sidebar permanently, setup a fixed pagefile on the D: drive, ect"...I had no idea that these would help. Do you have a link or a list of programs/operations that need to be addressed? I don't even know what a "fixed page file on the D:" is
Thanks for the info so far!

i have to agree its most likely your ram.
even with not OCed settings you need 1.35v for the 3930k or 3820.
only the 3960 will work wirh 1600 1.5v at stock speeds. wont when OCing
download and run Memtest and use cpuz to check temps
7. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 7, 2012 9:54 PM (in response to JCschild)
Hi Scott,
What am I looking for in Memtest? Is there a particular temp or error message I should keep an eye out for? Sorry, I've never had the need to use these types of programs before .
Also, I've done some research on the 1.35v memory...these should do the trick...correct? Thinking 32Gb this time around (going to get 2 packs of 16Gb 4x4).
Thanks for all the links J. Smith!
8. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Harm Millaard Apr 7, 2012 11:38 PM (in response to RByds4te)
That memory is for 1155 mobos, not for X79 mobos.The type you selected I would not touch. Samsung finally released their low voltage ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096
9. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 7, 2012 11:55 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Thanks for the info Harm!
Is that my only option at the moment?
Is there a way to determine if the problem is, in fact, my memory...before buying 32Gb of new mem?
10. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Harm Millaard Apr 8, 2012 12:07 AM (in response to RByds4te)
Like Scott said, download and run Memtest86+ from here: http://www.memtest.org/
Let it run a decent time and if no errors show up, it may be something else. What does the event viewer show in terms of errors? For tuning tips, look at Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...
This also applies to Win7.
11. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Alan Craven Apr 8, 2012 1:03 AM (in response to RByds4te)
This "freezing" that you describe occurs with both Gigabyte and Asus boards with early versions of the BIOS. Update your BIOS to the latest version - the problem was solved in BIOS releases in early March.
This cured the problem on my Gigabyte motherboard, and I know of one other user with an Asus board who took this advice and solved the problem.
12. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 9, 2012 8:16 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Ok, I ran the memtest86+ for 3 1/2 hours...NO errors.
I updated my BIOS to the latest version, 1010.
While the computer hasn't crashed yet, its still behaving the same (choppy video scrubbing, ghosting text boxes).
I'm going to go through Harm's tuning tips and see if this helps.
Of course, any other suggestions or comments whilst I'm doing this are welcome.

Are you running any virus, spam, malware software while yu are editing?
How many processes do you have running after booting before you open Premiere when you open the Task Manager window and in the processes Tab after you check "show all"?
14. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Alan Craven Apr 9, 2012 9:07 AM (in response to RByds4te)
It sounds as though the BIOS update may well have solved your freezing problem - your description of the problem sounded just like my very similar system with the original BIOS.
I have built a system very like yours, except that I am using a Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard and two RAID0 arrays, plus two single drives for storage.
As for memory being the problem, I am using 32 GB of Corsair XMS3 PC£-12800 at 1.5V and since the BIOS update my system has been 100% stable. So unless the problem that Scott alleges exists is confined to Asus motherboards, I doubt that your problem lies with memory.

22. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 10, 2012 7:08 PM (in response to RByds4te)
So I've done a fair amount of "tuning". Went through and turned off some of the windows features I wont be using. Also went over to Black Viper and adjusted my setting based on his "safe" configuration.
The problem with the ghosting text boxes was solved with: Control Panel-->System-->Advanced system settings-->Visual Effects-->Adjust for best performance! Looks a bit bland, but I'll get use to it.
No crashing or freezing yet!
I am, however, still having trouble with scrubing video (when I grab the little blue triangle in PP and move it back and forth). It does it when the footage has a YELLOW bar over the top. With a GREEN bar, everything scrubs smoothly. Any suggestions or something I'mmissing?

24. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 10, 2012 7:59 PM (in response to John T Smith)
Thanks for the link John.
I'm still a bit concerned becasue I've seen people scrub through yellow render bars with no problems (with a quad core processor).
After watching some videos, I've realized that AVCHD (the files I'll be editing) use the processer rather than the HDD to preivew. Could it be that my processor is causing the slow playback?
Thanks for all the replies and patient answers so far. Hope I'm not being to dense.
25. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...JEShort01 Apr 10, 2012 8:59 PM (in response to RByds4te)
Possibly your sluggishness is drive related; you have 1 7200 rpm drive and one of the fastest processors know to man!
For your processor a "balanced" system would typically be 4 drives additional to the boot drive (i.e. 2 RAID 0 7200 rpm arrays).
26. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 12, 2012 8:42 AM (in response to RByds4te)
Hey guys,
Well I decided to shoot some footage today and do a quick edit..just to see how things are working.
I'm noticing HORIZONTAL LINES moving from the the bottom of the frame to the top during playback. Any ideas what this is?
Footage is AVCHD.
I import the footage and drag it to the new sequence icon.
My monitor is at the correct resolution and 60Hz.

You might want to read what the bios update is for before you assume that is the blanket fix by itself btw.
F10 3.37 MB 2012/03/23 Asia China America Europe Europe(Russia) : FTP / Http
- Improve compatibility
Incase your wondering that is a ram compatibility update
1. Improve system stability.
2. Improve memory compatibility.
3..Enhance compatibility with some USB devices.
4.Fix PCIEx16 VGA card HD 7970 cannot be detected when the temperature of VGA less than -40.
There is a reason the turning off the Aero seemed to solve your ghosting and other video anomalies. When the Aero is on then Windows controls the Memory managment for the video/display. This also means there is allot more caching to ram to handle the frame buffer isolation. When people have pointed you to ram they were not incorrect on this. The MPE engine uses the system ram for the grand central station of data transiting between the CPU, video cards, and storage. If the timings on the ram are not syncing correctly to the ram controller in the cpu then your going to have random anomalies including drawing out on the screen because all of that data is transiting through ram as well. Think of it this way. If the memory controller sends a read request to a page on the ram that was prematurely wiped or not refreshed in time, then that data is garbage regardless of the rest of the data. You can manually set bios settings to try and get that ram to work or you can look at ram meant for that platform. BTW so everyone is aware, It seems Samsung has transitioned to 1.35V ram for their modules available in retail atleast from what I can see available in stock. That is tvery telling if they have done that since 1.35V requires better grade chips which raises the price of production.
28. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...RByds4te Apr 12, 2012 9:06 PM (in response to ECBowen)
Hey Eric,
Thanks for the info! I grasped some of what you explained (I'm not a computer guy....although, this build has tought me alot!).
I tried the Samsung memory linked above, but it did nothing for the ghosting text. Turing off some of the features in windows fixed that, but brought about another problem....the horizontal lines in video playback. I turned Aero ON (in a limited capacity) and it seemed to have solved the horizontal line issue...weird .
Could you recommend any other 1.35V memory that is meant for this platform?
29. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...jamesp2 Apr 13, 2012 6:04 AM (in response to RByds4te)
Concerns about sluggishness on the time-line, involving scrubbing and random brief playback and trims, have been raised here before by newer users..... What kind of responsiveness is to be expected, with a x79-based system like this one?
For <50mbs GOP codecs ; for AVC intra 100-150mbs; for intermediate codecs 100-220mbs? More or less instantaneous? Tolerable tedium? Outright insufferable?
30. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 7:48 AM (in response to RByds4te)
We have not had the Samsung 1.35V ram in stock here to test yet. I am still trying to get 8 modules here so we can verify compatibility and settings. However based on the rated timings I expect they should work fine if the bios is setup correctly. I need to know your current bios settings with those in. You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or call at your convenience. Number is on the website.
31. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 8:47 AM (in response to RByds4te)

33. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Alan Craven Apr 13, 2012 12:07 PM (in response to ECBowen)
Eric, in reply to your post (#10), what makes you assume that I did not discover this information for my Gigabyte motherboard before upgrading my BIOS? I admit that it was an assumption on my part that Asus motherboards would have the same solution, but I know of another user who solved this probem with his Asus motherboard by upgrading the BIOS to 1010.
The rest of your response to me is irrelevant - my system functions correctly and does not, and has not in the past suffered from these problems.
34. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 12:20 PM (in response to Alan Craven)
The post was to reference why it worked for you and possibly other users. I did not assume anything beyond what you stated to the original post which was that memory was likely not the issue. I was pointing out the bios update was based around memory comparability. Now what you set your ram and bios settings to after the update I dont know. If those settings are default since most of the bios updates default the CMOS then that would also explain why it's working as well. The importance of the post was to get the original person back on track to what is causing the issue they are having and why. In that process I had to explain why a bios update might fix something similar to their issue and the reason for that. The rest of the response was toward the original person.
35. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...JCschild Apr 13, 2012 12:28 PM (in response to ECBowen)
to add to that Alan,
what processor are you using? and are you OCing?
36. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Alan Craven Apr 13, 2012 12:45 PM (in response to ECBowen)
In post 14, I said that the problem was not his memory because he had updated the BIOS by then (as I suggested in post 11), and that solved the memory compatibility problem.
The rest of your post 27 was directed at me too, it was headed as a response to a post of mine. If you wish to respond to two posts at the same time, it would make sense to use separate responses to avoid confusion.
37. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...Alan Craven Apr 13, 2012 12:45 PM (in response to JCschild)
I am using the 3930K processor, which had this memory compatibility problem, which as I said originally, was solved by Gigabyte and Asus in BIOS releases in early March.
The processor is not overclocked.
Please do not think that I am attacking either ADK, or its personnel.
I was simply trying to correct the misconception contained in this thread that this memory incompatibility is a current problem. It is no longer a problem, at least for a non-overclocked 3930K, provided the BIOS is updated. This is evidenced by the OP stating that once he had updated the BIOS, the freezing ceased.
38. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 12:58 PM (in response to Alan Craven)
I apologize for the confusion with posting to 2 posts in the same post. I normally try to avoid double posting unless it's a follow up thought.
Actually the blanket memory compatibility fix is another point I was trying to dispel. Just because the fix worked for your modules does not mean it's going to work for everyone else. The changes alone between Corsair XMS modules between batches and runs is significant depending on what their building with when and binning. Now multiply that by each model/series and then each manufacturer. There is no way Gigabyte or Asus can update timing detection and round trip latency adjustments for every one of those in a single update. It likely may have just fixed a few batches of any one manufacturer and only at certain speeds if that much. Once again there are to many variables to assume it's a blanket fix for memory compatibility and I dont want people lead down the wrong path in troubleshooting these because of that.
39. Re: New PC build :), not reliable :(...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 1:16 PM (in response to Alan Craven)
The system not freezing is not the only symptom the poster stated that is a sign of ram issues nor is that the only symptom of the ram issues. Ghosting is a frame buffer corruption issue. Now the question is where the frame buffer corruption is occurring. Is it on the video card or the system ram. Considering the Ghosting went away when the client turned off the aero then the answer is the system ram. When the Aero is turned off, then the video driver alone handles the memory management which uses less ram. Also the anomalies on preview with lines with the MPE engine is also due to a corrupted frame buffer. So yes the memory is still an issue and the assumption it's not is completely incorrect.

On how this team has changed from in the past, Dan Girardi, who has been a Ranger since 2006, said at Newsday, "We're more resilient, nothing gets to us, we don't let a goal really bother us and coming back for wins and holding on to leads in the third, that's what separates us."
On MSG last night, John Tortorella said, "the biggest thing is our consistency, I think that is where we have really grown. We are not getting into too many valleys. The one in March was about the only one that we had all year. Our guys come into work every day and try to be the best that they can be."
Tortorella talked about some of the goals this team set out for early in the season and how they accomplished them: "We wanted to try and get away from being that 7th, 8th and 9th team and try to get into the middle of it here. We kept on pushing, we kept on working on our game each day and you find yourself in the situation where we are being chased since December. It's been a great experience for our team in a regular season situation to be chased the way we have been for so long and to handle themselves the proper way, especially in the month of March where we went through some dips. We just stayed about our business. I think that it's something that they can rely on, lean on if they get into these types of situations."
This is the process that John Tortorella has talked about. We have seen the Rangers, with mostly the same guys over the last three years, play a certain way and incrementally get better and put themselves in the position they are in now. By no means are they finished growing, but you can look back at the kind of stuff that John Tortorella would say last year or the year before and seeing it come to fruition.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediciNova, Inc. a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ Global Market (Nasdaq:MNOV) and the Jasdaq Market of the Osaka Securities Exchange (Code Number: 4875), today announced the publication of positive Phase 2 clinical results in two asthma studies in the Journal of Asthma. The publication is entitled, "Evaluation of Bedoradrine Sulfate (MN-221), a Novel, Highly Selective Beta(2)-Adrenergic Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Asthma via Intravenous Infusion" and is available online.
The publication reports on two Phase 2a clinical trials conducted by MediciNova, MN-221-CL-004 and MN-221-CL-005, which assessed the safety, tolerability, and FEV1 improvements in mild-moderate and moderate-to-severe asthmatics, respectively.
About MN-221 (bedoradrine)
MN-221 is a novel, highly selective beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonist in development for the treatment of acute exacerbations of asthma and COPD. An acute asthma or COPD exacerbation is defined as a long-lasting and severe episode that is not responsive to the standard bronchodilator or corticosteroid therapy. Patients with an asthma/COPD exacerbation typically go to the emergency room (ER) for treatment. If treatment in the ER is not successful, the patient may be admitted to the hospital.
Current inhaled beta-agonist treatments for asthma and COPD exacerbations are limited by bronchoconstriction or insufficient airflow due to inflammation and airway constriction, reducing the amount of inhaled drug that can get into the lungs. In addition, the amount of inhaled treatments a patient can tolerate is limited due to the potential for cardiovascular side effects, such as increased heart rate.
MN-221 is designed to treat acute exacerbations via intravenous infusion, bypassing constricted airways to deliver the drug directly to the lungs. Preclinical studies showed MN-221 to have a high affinity for the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, found primarily in the lungs, and a much lower affinity for the beta(1)-adrenergic receptor found primarily in cardiac tissue. These studies showed no worrisome increase in heart rate when MN-221 was administered.
MediciNova acquired an exclusive, worldwide (excluding Japan), sublicensable license to MN-221 from Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

CARSON, Calif. – When the U.S. National Team takes on Panama in the final of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, they may do so without head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
The U.S. headman was sent off by referee Walter Quesada in the closing stages of their 3-1 semifinal victory over Honduras on Tuesday, leaving his status in question for the final on Sunday. Klinsmann's fate will be decided by a CONCACAF disciplinary committee, who are expected to issue a ruling by Friday.
Following LA Galaxy training on Thursday, Galaxy head coach—and former U.S. boss—Bruce Arena issued his support for Klinsmann. After all, he had to watch the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup final against Panama from the stands after being sent off in semifinal match against Honduras. The U.S. eventually defeated Los Canaleros on penalties back in 2005, but Arena is not keen on the new U.S. manager suffering the same fate that he did.
"I was suspended too. I actually didn't say anything, they got something wrong in that game. Hopefully, U.S. Soccer is lobbying hard enough to get Jurgen back in the game," said Arena. "I have a feeling that he'll be found able to coach in the game somehow. [Late in the match], I don't know think you throw a coach out of a game. I don't think that's necessary, but whatever."

There a few problems that have been showing up in gardens lately, specifically cucurbits. This includes cucumber, squash, and melons.
Bacterial wilt is showing up sporadically and I am sure it's going to hit many of you who have cucurbits in the next few weeks. Bacterial wilt causes plants to wilt slowly over a few days; they freshen up at night and then wilt during the day and eventually wilt and die. The problem is a bacteria that enters the plant and blocks the flow of water and nutrients.

If you like shrimp you will love these delicious cakes. I was craving crab cakes but didn't have any crab – shrimp worked great as a stand-in. I love shrimp and always have cleaned, cooked, frozen ones on hand for times when I need a quick dinner. These are packed with both shrimp and corn and seasoned well with Old Bay, cilantro and a little cayenne (which can easily be omitted).
Pan-frying them gives them a nice golden crust while leaving the centers soft. I love how the corn 'pops' between my teeth. Smoky and sweet all at the same time. The cool aioli is a lovely contrast to the warm, spicy cakes. I had a little trouble getting my cakes to stick together but after refrigerating them and adding a tiny bit of extra bread crumbs they held up. These are a perfect warm weather treat when you don't want to turn on the oven. Pair them with a fresh salad for a quick meal, or make a wrap/sandwich out of them if your looking for something a bit more substantial.
Grilled Corn & Shrimp Cakes
(by Reeni)
1/2 pound shrimp, cooked, diced small
1 small ear corn, grilled, kernels removed from cob
1/2 cup panko crumbs
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Mayonnaise(like Hellmann's or Best Foods)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper(optional)
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together. Refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour. Remove from fridge and pat into cakes, using about 1/3 cup of the mixture for each one.
Cook in a large skillet coated with a light coat of oil over medium-low heat about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with aioli.
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 cloves garlic, crushed, then minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients together. Refrigerate until serving.

Style # 226205
Strapless Foil Dress is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ironwoman from Classy Party Dress I searched for a dress online and loved this, because it reminded me of Rumplestiltskin from OUAT (and I adore him!), but I was trying to stay away from black. So I searched others and made a list. I went into the store, never having been inside a Bebe, and was offered complimentary champagne. Pampered by great employees at the Ala Moana location, I tried on many styles and colors, and this dress that I did not intend to buy, ended up being the best style, best fit, and really showed off my hourglass figure. I worked hard for this figure, after months of hardcore exercise and eating lifestyle change. Wearing this dress makes me feel powerful and classy. Hourglasses don't need a lot in their clothing, and this was perfect! The one con about it that I've noticed was the sticky stay (non-slip string? I dunno what it's called) on the inside at the top. The dress, with the strapless bra I will be wearing underneath, rolls out a bit if I don't keep an eye on it. But I doubt others will notice as it's black, and blends in well with the glossy animal/paint texture. The hem is the perfect length, slightly above the knee, to give it that pencil skirt sexiness. As much as I love showing off my work with short dresses, I don't want to work on not revealing my rump when I bend/kneel over. That makes me self-conscious about moving comfortably, and that's no fun at parties. Kept simple and beautiful, light-weight, but high quality material, and for the right price, I highly suggest this wonderful piece. I will be returning to Bebe, if not for the awesome customer service, and feeling comfortable in the store (that wasn't the champagne talking), for the quality work put into the fashion to really helps me find the best outfits for a body shape hard to shop for. Thank you, Bebe! Bought size Large. 38C bust, 33 waist, 41 hip, 178#. Dress fits true to size and still dropping the inches. Hope the dress doesn't slip off or I gotta return for smaller size. ;)

Recently I opened a case with Microsoft PSS to help us through a severe performance problem on a new system. As part of that case, the PSS engineer checked our "max degree of parallelism" server-side setting. It is our standard to use 4 on our production systems that have 16 CPUs (2 sockets, quad-core, hyper-threaded). The PSS engineer had me run the below query to get Microsoft's recommended value of "max degree of parallelism" server-side setting for our 16-CPU system:
when cpu_count / hyperthread_ratio > 8 then 8
else cpu_count / hyperthread_ratio
end as optimal_maxdop_setting
from sys.dm_os_sys_info;
The query returned 2. I made the change using sp_configure, and it did not resolve our issue. We have decided to leave it in place for now.
Do you agree with this query? What are your thoughts on this?
If you decide to change your setting to reflect the output of this query, please test it first to ensure there are no negative side effects.

At least, we have a "scientist" who is capable of bringing together Michele Bachmann's two favorite subjects, vaccines and homosexuality. An Italian scientist — what kind is not clear — named Gian Paolo Vanoli is now claiming that vaccines cause people to become gay.
The vaccine is introduced into the child, the child then grows and tries to find its own personality, and if this is inhibited by mercury or other substances present in the vaccine which enter the brain, the child becomes gay. The problem will especially be present in the next generations, because when gays have children, the children will carry along with them the DNA of their parent's illness. Because homosexuality is a disease, even though the WHO has decided that it is not. Who cares! The reality is that it is so. Each vaccination produces homosexuality, because it prevents the formation of one's personality. It is a microform of autism, if you will. You will see how many gays there will be in the next generation, it will be a disaster.
Of course, Bachmann didn't need that kind of "support." If someone she didn't know told her that vaccines caused their child to become gay, she would have gleefully gone on Fox News and declared it to be so, as she did with the woman who allegedly told her that vaccines had caused their child to become retarded.

HILLSDALE � The shots didn't fall when they need to for the Hillsdale College men's basketball team.
Going cold from the floor in the second half, the Chargers were unable to get over the hump in a 64-56 loss to the Ashland University Eagles in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game Saturday at Jesse Philips Arena.
Hillsdale (16-7, 12-7 GLIAC) held a seven-point lead early in the second half, but couldn't hang on. Ashland (10-12, 8-11 GLIAC) roared back, hitting 70 percent of its shots in the second half, including five 3-pointers to take control. Meanwhile, the Chargers made just 20 field goals on the day and shot 37 percent, their lowest shooting percentage since a Jan. 5 loss at Saginaw Valley State.
The Eagles posted their first victory at Hillsdale since December 2007.
A jumper by Nick Washburn and a free throw by Darius Ware gave Hillsdale a 32-25 lead early in the second half, but Ashland's hot shooting began to take over. A pair of free throws and a layup by Brook Turson midway through the half gave the Eagles a 43-40 lead.
Brandon Pritzl hit a jumper with seven minutes remaining, lifting the Chargers into a 44-44 tie, but Ashland would outscore Hillsdale 20-12 down the stretch. The Eagles' lead would hover around six points for most of that time, but Hillsdale couldn't pull closer.
Defense dominated the first half, as the Chargers held Ashland to 24 percent shooting. A 3-pointer by Washburn and a layup by Tim Dezelski gave Hillsdale a 15-10 lead midway through the half. The teams exchanged baskets over the next eight minutes until missiles by Tony Nelson and Anthony Manno staked the Chargers to a 27-21 halftime lead.
Dezelski finished with 13 points and three steals to lead Hillsdale. Pritzl had 11 points and six rebounds, while Washburn added seven points and five rebounds.
Turson recorded a double-double for Ashland with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Cole Krizancic scored 11 points, while Evan Yates had nine points and seven rebounds.
The Chargers will play their final regular season home game Thursday against Malone University. The Pioneers defeated Hillsdale 79-58 in the teams' first meeting Jan. 24.
Women's Basketball
Ashland 83, Hillsdale College 57
The No. 1-ranked team in NCAA Division II women's basketball was as good as advertised Saturday as the Ashland University Eagles defeated the Hillsdale College Chargers in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Jesse Philips Arena.
Hillsdale (9-13, 6-13 GLIAC) stayed close with last year's national runner-up early on. A 3-pointer by Ashley Landherr gave the Chargers a 13-10 lead five minutes in, but Alyssa Miller quickly answered with a missile of her own. Ashland (25-1, 18-1 GLIAC) took over from the there, shooting 56 percent for the half and building a 50-30 lead by halftime.
The Eagles gradually extended their lead throughout the second half. Miller hit a jumper with 7:40 remaining, giving Ashland its biggest lead at 80-39.
Hillsdale answered with a 12-2 run later in the half, but the deficit was too much to overcome.
Kayla Geffert scored 15 points to lead the Chargers. Kadie Lowery and Brooke Borowski each added nine points, while Landherr scored eight points. Angela Bisaro had six points and five rebounds while Megan Fogt and Sarah Theut both had four points and five rebounds.
Three players hit the 20-point mark for Ashland. Taylor Woods led the way with 23 points and eight rebounds, while Daiva Gerbec had 20 points and eight rebounds. Miller finished with 20 points and four assists.
Hillsdale will host Malone University for another GLIAC game Thursday. The Pioneers defeated the Chargers 75-60 in the teams' first meeting Jan. 24.

People try to avoid germs by washing their hands and applying sanitizer, but a recent study shows that this common practice prevents only a small fraction of spreading bacteria.
University of Arizona Microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba has been finding germs that make us sick in places that are much less obvious than at gas pumps and bowls of nuts in a bar.
Dr. Gerba found that about one-third of women's purses are infected with fecal matter.
Many women put their purses on the floor in bathrooms then place them on surfaces around utensils and food.
"They just picked up everything on the restroom floor and moved it to their kitchen countertop where they're going to make a meal," said Dr. Gerba.
Women's accessories are not the only items that can spread bacteria. Men's wallets are dirty culprits as well.
"You're sitting on it all day, very close to body temperature which a lot of bacteria like to grow at," said Gerba.
If a man does not wash his hands as often as he should, his wallet is even dirtier than the average man's wallet, says Tucsonan John Shotts.
When comparing men and women, who has the germiest desk?
Dr. Gerba says that women tend to have germier desks than men because they tend to eat at their desks more often.
"The average desk in an office has about 200 times more bacteria than a toilet seat because people clean toilet seats, but apparently they don't clean their desk," said Gerba.
Dr. Gerba's team put a virus that cannot infect people on one person's hand to see how bad it really is when an employee goes into work sick. They sent that person into an office from the front door and went all around the workplace.
"We found, within four hours, one person could contaminate 50 percent of the surfaces and the viruses showed up on 50 percent of the other people's hands," said Gerba.
Many offices, malls, and restaurants use refillable soap dispensers that ironically do the exact opposite of cleaning your hands.
You can get up to 10 million bacteria just in a few drops of liquid soap coming out of refillable dispensers that never get cleaned out, says Gerba.
"You're putting more fecal bacteria on your hands than was in the toilet after you flushed it," Gerba said.
The same problem could arise at home if people keep refilling old dispensers.
But if you do not yet have the "heebie-jeebies," there is still one more place where Gerba found the ickiest germs.
Gerba says candy bowls almost always get fecal bacteria in them over time. This is due to the same reason nut bowls at bars are so germ-infested. It's bad enough that people put their unwashed hands in the bowl, but when they're indecisive about which candy they want, they sort through the bowl and touch all the candies to find that perfect one.
If you use reusable grocery bags, and never wash them, Dr. Gerba has a message for you.
He tested a few and found some pretty disgusting germs, including fecal bacteria.
"How they get germy is you put meat products in here and they leak. They get liquids in here and the bacteria will grow in these. And in our interviews only three percent of the people we talked to ever admitted they ever washed one of these reusable bags," Gerba said.
And leave the bags in a warm place, like your car, and Dr. Gerba says it's like the germs are in an incubator.
Gerba recommends using the cotton bags that you can throw in the washer every time you use them.
He says some of the other bags have to be hand-washed or they fall apart, and he doesn't think very many people will want to hand-wash the bags every time they use them.
Speaking of groceries, many of us love the convenience of self-checkout.
Gerba's crew decided to check out the self-checkout touchscreens.
What they found could take your appetite away.
"We found not only fecal bacteria on a lot of them, we also found MRSA which cause skin infections and C. difficile (Clostridium difficile) which causes diarrhea," Gerba said.
Many grocery stores provide disinfectant wipes so we can clean the grocery cart.
You might consider using one on your hands after you touch the self-checkout screen.

text: DigitalFacebook relents on Credits, allows in-app currency offersBy Brittany Darwell|January 6, 2012ShareBy Brittany Darwell|January 6, 2012ShareFacebook announced today that it will give developers the option to provide in-app offers in their native currency, the company announced in a blog post Friday.The change should help developers since users are more likely to complete offers that involve the unique currency of the game they're playing. Completing offers in units of Facebook Credits might not be as easy to understand for users who have to do the math to know what Credits convert to. "In-app offers," as Facebook noted in its announcement, are an important way for developers to monetize users who might not otherwise buy virtual currency. In these cases, advertisers cover the cost of the currency in return for the app bringing them customers.By completing advertiser offers, such as signing up for a subscription service or shopping in an online store, app users can earn virtual currency. Since the transition to Credits, which was made mandatory in July 2011, all offers have been done in Facebook's universal currency, except for games by a few large developers who Facebook allowed to provide offers in their native currency. Now, the company is allowing all developers who prefer transactions to be in their own in-app currency to offer them. Before the launch of Credits, many third party offer networks provided offers to developers in native currencies.Facebook will leave Credits offers as an option, which developers can use instead of or along with in-app currency offers. The new offers documentation supports Offerwall and Dealspot. Details are available on the Facebook Developer site. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kktrwq copy Adweek Adweek

Tenori-On Modes
The Tenori-On provides six different performance and sound/light modes for broad performance versatility, and these modes can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical expression.
Score Mode Performance | Watch Video
Press an LED button briefly to play the sound assigned to it. At the same time the lights will flash outward from the played sound. If you hold the LED button a bit longer it will remain lit and will become an active note that will play repeatedly. Press and hold an active note to de-activate it. The loop indicator will be continuously cycling from the left to right edge of the LED button matrix. Active notes will play when the loop indicator coincides with their positions on the matrix.
Random Mode Performance | Watch Video
If you press an LED button long enough to enter an active note in the Random Mode, the active note will play back repeatedly. If you then enter a few more active notes, the lights will "travel" from note to note, in the order entered, and the active notes will sound when the traveling light passes over them. The Random Mode thus produces a totally different type of loop from the Score Mode.
You can even spin loop-shapes you create in the Random Mode by holding the [L4] button and running a finger around the matrix in the direction and at the speed of the desired spin. The pitches of the notes will change accordingly as the shape spins, producing loop sound effects. To stop rotation, press and hold the LED button or press the same LED button twice while holding the [L4] button.
Draw Mode Performance | Watch Video
In this mode you can press individual LED buttons or draw lines or curves on the matrix, and those actions will be played back and repeated. You can keep adding to your "composition" during playback to build up thick sonic textures.
In the Draw Mode you cannot clear only a part of the performance. The entire layer can be cleared by pressing the [CLEAR] button.
Bounce Mode Performance | Watch Video
Press an LED button and the light will "drop" from that button, bounce back from the bottom of the matrix, and repeat. The corresponding note will sound when the light bounces at the bottom row. The higher the entry point, the longer the interval between the sound. In the Bounce Mode the pitches are arranged horizontally, like a piano, with the lowest pitch on the left and the highest on the right.
Push Mode Performance | Watch Video
In this mode if you press and hold an LED button the sound of the corresponding note will begin to change gradually while the flashing surrounding that button gets brighter and wider. If the button is held briefly the note and flashing will stop when you release it, but if you hold the button for longer the note and flashing will continue even after the button is released.
Solo Mode Performance | Watch Video
Press an LED button and the corresponding note will repeat until the button is released. In the Solo Mode the pitches are arranged horizontally, like a piano. You can change the interval between repeats by pressing or sliding your finger to a lower (longer) or higher (shorter) LED button in the column. If you press the lowest LED button in a column the note will sound once without any repeats.
By holding one of the ten function buttons located on either side of the Tenori-On and operating the LED buttons you can change voices, change octaves, and apply a variety of effects and variations to your performance.
This unique visual/tactile interface has been specifically designed to allow intuitive, instantaneous operation of a variety of functions.
Introduction Of Function Buttons From [L1] To [L5} | Watch Video
L1 : Changing Voices
You can select any voice from the 256 voices available in one quick operation. When you press and hold the [L1] button vertical and horizontal lines will light on the matrix, and the button at their intersection corresponds to the currently selected voice. If you press a different LED button while these crossed lines are showing the intersection will move to that button and the corresponding voice will be selected.
|L2 : Changing Note Length
Sets the length of the notes from the time they are triggered to the time they decay to silence (the gate time). While holding the [L2] button slide your finger horizontally over the matrix to move the lit vertical line to the desired setting. Moving the line to the right increases the note length.
L3 : Changing Octaves
Sets the playback pitch in octave increments. While holding the [L3] button slide your finger vertically over the matrix to move the lit horizontal line to the desired octave.
L4 : Changing Loop Points
Sets the loop playback range in the Score Mode. While holding the [L4] button slide your finger horizontally over upper half of the matrix to move the loop start point indicator to the desired point, and slide your finger horizontally over lower half of the matrix to move the loop end point indicator to the desired point, as required.
L5 : Changing Loop Speed
Sets the loop playback speed (the duration of the beats).
Introduction Of Function Buttons From [R1] To [R5} | Watch Video
|R1 : Switching Layers
Switches to a different layer.
|R2 : Changing Tempo
|Sets the playback tempo (BPM).
While holding the [R2] button slide your finger horizontally over the matrix to move the lit vertical line to the desired tempo setting. Moving the line to the right produces faster tempos.
|R3 : Transposition
|Adjusts the playback pitch in semitone increments. While holding the [R3] button slide your finger vertically over the matrix to move the lit horizontal line to the desired pitch.
|R4 : Changing the Layer Volume
|Displays the individual volume settings of all 16 layers, and allows the volume of each layer to be adjusted as required to create the ideal "mix" between layers.
Each row of LED buttons corresponds to layer, beginning with layer 01 at the bottom row. While holding the [R4] button slide your finger horizontally over the row corresponding to the layer you want to adjust to set the volume as required. Each LED button row corresponds to a layer (01 - 16 from bottom to top), and the horizontal axis corresponds to volume level with volume increasing towards the right (the leftmost setting corresponds to "0" volume).
|R5 : Switching Blocks
|Switches to a different block.
While holding the [R5] button slide your finger horizontally over the matrix to move the lit vertical line to the desired block.
Moving the line to the leftmost column selects block 01, the next column to the right is block 02, then block 03, and so on up to block 16.

Links, 6.27.11Posted: June 27, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
Big summer milestone for our family this week: the first day trip to the beach (or, as we say here in New Jersey, "down the Shore"). The waves were awesome.
Speed sleuthing: How to identify the photographer who took the images in a 69 year old album without any captions? That's a difficult photo detective challenge. Unless you're the New York Times and Der Spiegel, the German newsweekly, which published some of the World War II images online. Thanks to tips from viewers, within three hours they had an identity for the Nazi photographer who took photos of soldiers, prisoners of war and a close-up of Adolf Hitler.
More detective work: A Maine woman who found a mysterious ring inscribed" CCD to MAL, Dec. 25 1880″ on a beach in Kittery was able to return it to a descendant of the owner. Genealogists who saw news reports about the ring helped with the legwork.
Flamed: The burned courthouse is the specter that lurks in every genealogist's nightmares. Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Kenneth Thomas offers tips on how to stop panicking and find ways around destroyed records.
Reverse migration: The New York Times also had an interesting story about why young African Americans are choosing to leave the Northeast and settle in places like Charlotte, N.C., in a turnaround from the Great Migration of the early 20th century.
Tombstone mystery: In St. Paul, Minn., authorities are puzzling over a gravestone that turned up on a city street. Spotted by a passerby, the stone is marked "Marie Olsen, 1879-1932." Local authorities have found a few Marie or Mary Olsens who died in 1932, but none were born in 1879.
What Kudrow Thinks: Lisa Kudrow, producer of the U.S. edition of Who Do You Think You Are, discusses how she hopes a switch in category will get the show the Emmy nomination that eluded it last year — and reflects on the second season, which included Rosie O'Donnell, Vanessa Williams and Tim McGraw, among others.
Enjoy the week — can you believe Independence Day is just around the corner?

civil rights: an overview
A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury. Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, and assembly; the right to vote; freedom from involuntary servitude; and the right to equality in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Various jurisdictions have enacted statutes to prevent discrimination based on a person's race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances sexual orientation.
The most important expansions of civil rights in the United States occurred as a result of the enactment of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States. See U.S. Const. amend. XIII. In response to the Thirteenth Amendment, various states enacted "black codes" that were intended to limit the civil rights of the newly free slaves. In 1868 the Fourteenth Amendment countered these "black codes" by stating that no state "shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States... [or] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, [or] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." See U.S. Const. amend. XIV. Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment gave Congress the power by section five of the Fourteenth Amendment to pass any laws needed to enforce the Amendment.
During the reconstruction era that followed, Congress enacted numerous civil rights statutes. Many of these are still in force today and protect individuals from discrimination and from the deprivation of their civil rights. Section 1981 of Title 42 (Equal Rights Under the Law) protects individuals from discrimination based on race in making and enforcing contracts, participating in lawsuits, and giving evidence. See 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Other statutes, derived from acts of the reconstruction era, that protect against discrimination include: Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1983); Conspiracies to Interfere With Civil Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1985); Conspiracy Against Rights of Citizens (See 18 U.S.C. § 241); Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, (See 18 U.S.C. § 242); The Jurisdictional Statue for Civil Rights Cases (See 28 U.S.C. § 1443); and Peonage Abolished (See 42 U.S.C. § 1994).
The most prominent civil rights legislation since reconstruction is the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Decisions of the Supreme Court at the time limited Congressional enforcement of the 14th Amendment to state, rather than individual, action. (Since 1964 the Supreme Court has expanded the reach of the 14th Amendment in some situations to individuals discriminating on their own). Therefore, in order to reach the actions of individuals, Congress, using its power to regulate interstate commerce, enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 under Title 42, Chapter 21 of the United States Code. Discrimination based on "race, color, religion, or national origin" in public establishments that have a connection to interstate commerce or are supported by the state is prohibited. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000a. Public establishments include places of public accommodation (e.g., hotels, motels, and trailer parks), restaurants, gas stations, bars, taverns, and places of entertainment in general. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent legislation also declared a strong legislative policy against discrimination in public schools and colleges which aided in desegregation. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination where the employer is engaged in interstate commerce. Congress has passed numerous other laws dealing with employment discrimination. See Employment Discrimination.
The judiciary, most notably the Supreme Court, plays a crucial role in interpreting the extent of the civil rights, as a single Supreme Court ruling can alter the recognition of a right throughout the nation. Supreme Court decisions can also affect the manner in which Congress enacts civil rights legislation, an occurrence that occurred with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The federal courts have been crucial in mandating and supervising school desegregation programs and other programs established to rectify state or local discrimination.
In addition to federal guarantees, state constitutions, statutes and municipal ordinances provide further protection of civil rights. See, e.g., New York's Civil Rights Law.
Numerous international agreements and declarations recognize human rights. The United States has signed some of these agreements, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Apple's (AAPL) CEO, Tim Cook, spoke on Tuesday night at the All Things D conference about a wide range of subjects.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – MARCH 07: Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks during an Apple product launch event at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on March 7, 2012 in San Francisco, California. In the first product release following the death of Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. introduced the third version of the iPad and an updated Apple TV. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
One area he was pressed on by Walt Mossberg was Siri, Apple's voice-automated personal assistant that comes as part of the new iPhone 4S.
"When it works, it works really well," said Mossberg. "But a lot of times, it doesn't work."
Mossberg isn't the only one to criticize Siri. Henry Blodget of Business Insider has said "Steve Jobs would have killed Siri months ago" and that "Frankly, it's concerning that Apple is still advertising a product as flawed as Siri." Fortune's Adam Lashinsky said that some ex-Apple insiders believe Apple employees are embarrassed by Siri.
Tim Cook's response, which is here, was that:
– "Customers love it."
– "There's more that it can do. We have a lot of people working on this. I think you're going to be pleased with what we're doing in the next few months."
– "Siri's proved to us that people want to relate to the phone in a new way."
– Cook implied that voice recognition wasn't what makes Siri special. What makes Siri special is the Artificial Intelligence. "It's not voice recognition. It's the understanding."
– "I'd put it on the profound list."
– "This is something that people dreamed of for years. And, it's here."
– "We're doubling down on it."
I've been a big believer in Siri since its introduction last October. This Forbes article, "Why Siri is a Google Killer," explains my thinking.
If you took one thing from Cook's entire talk on Tuesday, it's that this guy's a good poker player. He's very…. controlled. Every word – as well as every detail in Apple's supply chain – is measured.
You get the sense that nothing happens by chance at Apple. Every move is well-planned.
That's why I think Blodget and others were supremely arrogant by stating that Steve Jobs wouldn't have approved of Siri's release. Jobs was of course still around and involved in green-lighting Siri before last October's release.
More importantly, these critics fail to understand the long-term potential of Siri and what's needed to get there from here.
As Cook said, what makes Siri special is her personality, which is to say the AI.
To get to where Apple (and more importantly its customers) want Siri to be, it needs to improve the AI and for that it needs data. So, Blodget and others are fundamentally off base by thinking Steve Jobs' answer to Siri's current shortcomings would be to pull it and let the guys tinker with it for another year or two back in Apple's labs.
You can't get it any better with some tinkering by a few guys. Siri wouldn't improve at all with another year of tinkering. You need massive amounts of data. They're getting that given how popular the 4S is and the Siri usage they're currently getting.
Apple said it was in "beta" to let the world knows this is a little different from any kind of product release they'd done before. But the long-term gain of doing this exercise is going to more than compensate for the short-term pain.
And that's the reason for all the Siri ads we've had since it launched last Fall. And now Apple's doubling down on those too. Why? It's driving more usage and more data.
It sounds like Siri will be profoundly better before its first birthday 6 months from now. Just imagine was it will be like at age 2 — or age 7.
So, let the critics howl. Apple was always about doing something for the benefit of the mainstream. Siri is no different.

Federal Health Minister Peter Dutton has told worried parents of children with cystic fibrosis that he hopes negotiations over the listing of new life-changing medicine will be resolved as soon as possible.
But he says he can't intervene to speed up the process which has dragged on since last year.
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee has recommended the drug Kalydeco be listed for government subsidy but has asked manufacturer Vertex to make it more cost-effective for the government.
Cystic fibrosis sufferers and their families on Wednesday travelled to Canberra to meet with Mr Dutton and call on the Abbott government to end the stand-off over the listing.
Kalydeco "turns off" the genetic defect that causes cystic fibrosis, a debilitating condition that clogs the lungs and digestive system with thick mucus.
However, the treatment costs more than $250,000 a year.
One mother, Leah Johnstone, asked Mr Dutton: "My son's eight and how much is his life worth?"
"His life is priceless," Mr Dutton responded.
"You as a mum, me as a father, and us as human beings, we'd want to list everything immediately.
"I'm hopeful we can resolve the issue as soon as possible."
However, he said politicians shouldn't be involved in deciding what drugs are listed, and he was happy to leave negotiations up to his department and the PBAC.
Ms Johnstone said she was unsatisfied with the minister's response.
"It was a very political response," the Adelaide mother told AAP.

You are more likely to convince HIV-infected smokers to use condoms, take HIV meds faithfully and even abstain from their beloved Mountain Dew than do battle with their tobacco addiction. A recently published study from a national cohort of HIV-infected Danes supplies a bunch of new facts that you can use to scare -- er, counsel -- your patients afflicted with tobaccoism:
But we also must do our part by setting such patients up for success. Facts alone won't do it, and we need to be recommending evidence-based smoking cessation interventions (such as those recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or those explored by Rafael Laniado-Laborin in a 2010 study). Other than prescribe antiretroviral therapy, it just may be the most life-saving thing we do for our patients.
The Study: Helleberg M, Afzal S, Kronborg G, et al. Mortality Attributable to Smoking Among HIV-1Infected Individuals: A Nationwide, Population-Based Cohort Study. Clin Infect Dis. 2013; 56(5): 727-734.

Two months after Bernard Arnault's bid for Belgian citizenship shocked France, another major cultural figure has crossed the border in a quest for lower taxes.
Indeed, according to Belgian newspaper Le Soir, French superstar actor, Gerard Depardieu, has recently bought a mansion in the southern Belgium's francophone region. His new home is in the town of Nechin, located just about a mile from the border, where French expats notoriously make up 27 percent of the local population.
The move could allow the quintessentially French actor to escape the tax increases put up by the recently elected Socialist government in France.
Indeed, the budget unveiled in September by French President Francois Hollande included one of his most controversial campaign promises: a 75 percent tax for incomes over 1 million euros ($1.27 million). On Tuesday, Hollande renewed his attachment to the measure in his first official press conference since taking power, and re-affirmed that the tax will only be a temporary one—for the next two years—in an effort to tackle the current economic crisis.
While the Belgian income tax system is, like in France, a progressive one, the top tax bracket applied on income over 35,000 euros is only 50 percent.
According to paiecheck.com, Depardieu earned an estimated 2 million euros in 2010 and up to 3.5 million euros in 2008, when he appeared in nine movies.
During the last presidential campaign, the actor actively supported right wing candidate Nicolas Sarkozy.
Depardieu is famous in France for such roles as national icon Asterix's sidekick Obelix, Les Miserables' Jean Valjean or mine worker unionist Toussaint Maheu in a 1993 adaptation of Zola's famous social criticism Germinal.

For many people, the word eating challenge evokes the iconic scene in the movie "The Great Outdoors,"when John Candy tackles "The Old 96er" to the chagrin of his digestive tract. More recently, the Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" show has popularized eating challenges, which have increasingly become a strategy for restaurants across the country to make a name for themselves, draw in new customers, and simply have fun.
For those testing their fortitude through eating challenges, clearing a plate of outrageously large or spicy meals will often win them a T-shirt, their photo on the wall, and dinner on the house. There are some challenges, however, that push the limits of consumption and no individual has yet to cross the proverbial finish line.
So, which eating challenges remain undefeated? Click ahead to find out.
